00:01:24.000 Thank you.

00:01:42.000 Mr. Crowder's indisposed so I'm back here.

00:01:50.000 Oh you

00:02:08.000 Headphones a little bit, because it's set to Alex Jones level.

00:02:11.000 Oh, wow.

00:02:12.000 Glad to be with you.

00:02:13.000 Thank you to Mr. Alex Jones for filling in yesterday.

00:02:16.000 You know, that's my question.

00:02:16.000 Before we move on to anything else, that's my question for you.

00:02:18.000 How did you like Alex Jones hosting yesterday?

00:02:20.000 Comment below.

00:02:22.000 Look, it's a different show.

00:02:23.000 Every now and then, every few weeks, every couple of months, you know, I may need someone to fill in.

00:02:27.000 I have a business to tend to.

00:02:29.000 And, you know, we'll see who we end up getting in this chair every now and then.

00:02:34.000 It's not easy to do.

00:02:35.000 My blow-up doll, maybe?

00:02:37.000 Yeah, maybe your blow-up doll.

00:02:40.000 My headphones are a little bit... Everything is adjusted to Alex volume, so it's just a little... Well, now you know why he's so amped up all the time.

00:02:45.000 I sound a lot higher in my headphones than you do.

00:02:45.000 You sound a little lower.

00:02:48.000 You're also not speaking into the mic like a retard. 1.00

00:02:51.000 Alright, before I bring him in, look, we have a lot to get into today.

00:02:55.000 There's the Durham Report.

00:02:57.000 Just so you know, they chalk it up to missteps.

00:03:00.000 Not yet, Tim.

00:03:02.000 They chalk it up to missteps is what we'll be talking about today.

00:03:04.000 They chalk it up to that.

00:03:05.000 So it turns out everything that they said, not true.

00:03:08.000 We'll get into exactly what they were saying then and what they're saying now.

00:03:12.000 Now here's the issue with the Durham report.

00:03:14.000 The FBI probe, right?

00:03:15.000 Russia collusion.

00:03:16.000 Let's just use that for those people who aren't familiar.

00:03:18.000 It's election interference.

00:03:20.000 And it's election interference paid for by your tax dollars, our intelligence agencies.

00:03:25.000 Why do you mistrust your institutions?

00:03:27.000 We'll be talking about that.

00:03:28.000 We'll also be talking about Linda Iaccarino.

00:03:32.000 She's the new CEO, going to be the new CEO at Twitter.

00:03:34.000 A lot of people on the right not thrilled.

00:03:36.000 I agree.

00:03:37.000 A lot of people on the left not thrilled, which means that, hey, maybe that's a good thing.

00:03:43.000 I'm kidding. 0.90

00:03:44.000 She's awful.

00:03:45.000 And also, are we talking about Miller Lite today?

00:03:49.000 Yeah, I think we have that in there as well.

00:03:50.000 Miller Lite said, hey Bud Light, hold my beer, and they decided to do an ad condemning their entire consumer base, namely men, because why?

00:03:59.000 Why would you drink Miller Lite beer, is what they want to know, and they don't want you drinking Miller Lite beer, and I think you should listen to them.

00:04:04.000 Yes, absolutely.

00:04:05.000 Hold my equally crappy beer. 0.99

00:04:07.000 Hold my bum piss, said the CEO of Miller Lite. 0.98

00:04:13.000 You know him, you love him. 0.98

00:04:13.000 That's CEO number two, Gerald Morgan. 0.98

00:04:16.000 Gerald A., how are you, sir?

00:04:17.000 I'm well, how are you?

00:04:18.000 I'm good.

00:04:18.000 Yeah?

00:04:19.000 I'm good.

00:04:19.000 Joe Louis got messed up by some Canadian geese.

00:04:21.000 Oh, he did.

00:04:22.000 He's okay.

00:04:23.000 By that, I mean scared. 1.00

00:04:25.000 Those things are jerks. 0.99

00:04:25.000 He got scared. 0.99

00:04:26.000 There were three of them, and they went full wingspring.

00:04:29.000 He was like, I didn't even want you, though, and he ran off.

00:04:31.000 They've taken down airplanes, Stephen.

00:04:33.000 Yes, they have.

00:04:35.000 They also took out our bus when we were driving back from Urbana, Illinois.

00:04:38.000 Remember that?

00:04:38.000 Cracked the windshield.

00:04:39.000 Oh yeah, that's right.

00:04:40.000 The driver next to me was listening to Kenny Loggins with noise-canceling headphones at two in the morning.

00:04:46.000 That is ball-retractingly scary.

00:04:49.000 When you wake up and look over here, you're like, we're gonna die!

00:04:55.000 And in third chair, when you hear this music, that means you know who it is.

00:05:02.000 It's the man who created me.

00:05:05.000 It's Pops Crowder.

00:05:05.000 How are you, sir?

00:05:06.000 I'm great.

00:05:07.000 I think it's sad that you had to explain to me that the intro was a famous anime.

00:05:11.000 Yes.

00:05:12.000 No, it's more sad for the rest of us that we know it.

00:05:15.000 That's fair.

00:05:15.000 So, by the way, it's a live show Monday through Friday, 10 a.m.

00:05:18.000 Eastern.

00:05:18.000 You can watch on Rumble.

00:05:19.000 You can listen to the podcast.

00:05:20.000 That's the best way to tune in because notifications on YouTube don't work.

00:05:23.000 And by the way, if you signed up prior to May, any time in the last 12 months, I know a lot of you signed up for Mug Club a while ago.

00:05:29.000 Maybe you didn't get your mug.

00:05:30.000 Maybe you felt like, ah, you signed up, you weren't able to get a refund, and now, of course, we launched this completely independently in partnership with Rumble.

00:05:36.000 What you can do is send proof of your purchase of any Right-leaning subscription service, right-leaning streaming service to freemugclub.com.

00:05:44.000 We will send you three months free.

00:05:46.000 Those emails should start going out this week, so make sure you check your box for the promo codes.

00:05:50.000 And by the way, it doesn't count if you signed up for us.

00:05:52.000 Yes, it doesn't count if you signed up for us.

00:05:54.000 You don't get a double free.

00:05:55.000 Do you have any emails I've gotten from people that signed up for us?

00:05:57.000 Well, semantically it does.

00:05:59.000 That's double dipping. 0.92

00:06:00.000 That's like sticking your entire mouth in the dip.

00:06:03.000 Don't double dip.

00:06:04.000 One dip and end it.

00:06:05.000 End it.

00:06:07.000 So, speaking of double-dipping, former Vice President Michael Pence, he's going to be in New Hampshire today to give a speech in what many obviously view as a potential launch of his.

00:06:18.000 He said that he's interested, right, this whole thing of exploratory committee and they set something up and, I don't know, I don't want it, I don't want it, all right, just another slice, that's what they do.

00:06:27.000 So he's going to be running for president, Mike Pence, and that brings us to this week's Time to Close.

00:06:35.000 Former Vice President Mike Pence is gearing up to announce for a potential 2024 presidential run.

00:06:40.000 One person who was at the Capitol that day, as you know, was your Vice President, Mike Pence, who says that you endangered his life on that day.

00:06:49.000 President Trump was wrong on January 6th.

00:06:53.000 Time to close.

00:06:56.000 Endings and beginnings are ending and beginning.

00:07:05.000 Mr. President, do you feel that you owe him an apology?

00:07:09.000 No, because he did something wrong.

00:07:10.000 He should have put the votes back to the state legislatures, and I think we would have had a different outcome.

00:07:15.000 President Trump cut taxes across the board.

00:07:17.000 You know, the American people are witnessing the strong leadership of President Trump on the world stage.

00:07:22.000 President Donald Trump is stepping into the role of leader of the free world.

00:07:29.000 I'm just very confident that Republican voters will choose wisely again and I'm confident our standard-bearer will We'll carry the day.

00:07:43.000 If that standard-bearer is the former president, if he is the nominee, would you support him?

00:07:48.000 Well, I think we'll have better choices, and I really trust Republican voters to sort it out.

00:07:55.000 I know that it's time for things to close.

00:08:01.000 I know that it's time for things to close.

00:08:07.000 Why do these people even enter?

00:08:15.000 That's just...

00:08:17.000 Exactly, thank you.

00:08:18.000 I don't know if that's a statement toward Mike Pence or just that you're getting older.

00:08:23.000 Is that Mike Pence?

00:08:24.000 A bit of both.

00:08:25.000 By the way, that moment the fly landed on his hair and he did nothing for, I guess, three minutes while the fly set up a community, was the time he lost.

00:08:32.000 It's not the fly.

00:08:34.000 It's that he's so comfortable with the fly on him.

00:08:37.000 This is just another Tuesday for him.

00:08:38.000 He's like, well, yeah, there's a fly on me.

00:08:39.000 It's the smell of sulfur.

00:08:40.000 He is so stilted and measured.

00:08:43.000 And scripted.

00:08:45.000 I'll pause here, I'll grin, then I'll look to the side and I'll throw something out.

00:08:50.000 Just go away! 1.00

00:08:52.000 Also, he needs stilts.

00:08:54.000 Why does Mike Pence sound like Casey Kasem?

00:08:59.000 Announcing my exploratory committee top 40 love songs.

00:09:03.000 With Casey Kasem.

00:09:05.000 It is Mike Pence's presidential campaign, the stick your head in the oven top 40 announcements.

00:09:11.000 What's the name of the guy from Kentucky who was just on CNN this morning who's announced he's running for president?

00:09:17.000 I have no idea.

00:09:17.000 Was he governor?

00:09:18.000 Was he senator of Kentucky?

00:09:19.000 You guys can bring up that name.

00:09:20.000 He was sitting there talking on CNN.

00:09:21.000 He's like, well, I think what Americans want is to focus on, you know, lowering the debt.

00:09:26.000 Look, there's nothing wrong with that.

00:09:28.000 But these people do not understand how to speak to the American public. 0.97

00:09:32.000 Yeah, Mike Pence, he's just, he's a super douche.

00:09:34.000 Well, but he's actually, he's getting ahead of the game a little bit, and so he actually announced his vice presidential candidate to make sure that there was more energy.

00:09:41.000 Ben Carson.

00:09:41.000 Yes.

00:09:42.000 Oh.

00:09:42.000 Yes, exactly.

00:09:43.000 Yeah, the guy you're thinking of was Asa Hutchinson.

00:09:45.000 Asa Hutchinson.

00:09:46.000 Arkansas.

00:09:47.000 What did I say?

00:09:47.000 Arkansas, yeah.

00:09:48.000 You said Kentucky.

00:09:49.000 Sorry, Kentucky.

00:09:49.000 Oh, okay.

00:09:50.000 Arkansas.

00:09:51.000 He's boring.

00:09:52.000 Similar, but not really.

00:09:53.000 Is he the one that Sarah Huckabee beat?

00:09:56.000 In Arkansas?

00:09:57.000 Yeah, former I guess.

00:09:57.000 Is he?

00:09:59.000 He's sitting there saying that he's going to tell you.

00:10:02.000 Look, I get it.

00:10:03.000 We need a robust primary, but we don't need people who don't have a chance.

00:10:06.000 This is about them raising some money and doing a book tour eventually.

00:10:09.000 This is the problem with politics.

00:10:11.000 Mike Pence needs to go away. 1.00

00:10:13.000 Because he sucks. 1.00

00:10:13.000 Why? 1.00

00:10:17.000 Alright.

00:10:17.000 Done.

00:10:17.000 Alright.

00:10:18.000 Now we'll move on.

00:10:19.000 Hit like if you agree, by the way, because the YouTube algorithm doesn't give a rat's ass about anything, so they don't give a rat's ass if you're subscribed, so you hit like, you share it, and by the way, if at any point today while you're watching on YouTube you see and hear this... That means head on over to Rumble, we're not going to self-censor.

00:10:34.000 Speaking of people who should self-censor, did you watch this, Pops Cratter, the Miller Lite?

00:10:38.000 Yeah.

00:10:39.000 I did.

00:10:39.000 You did?

00:10:39.000 Yeah.

00:10:41.000 Seething rage?

00:10:43.000 Well, I don't think men should drink Miller Lite anyway.

00:10:45.000 Yes, that's a good point.

00:10:46.000 That's a good point.

00:10:47.000 They're not men!

00:10:48.000 They're not men!

00:10:49.000 Just a little Macchiato beers.

00:10:53.000 So, Miller Lite told Bud Light to hold its beer.

00:10:56.000 Now, this was actually something that was released in March, to be clear, but it's making the rounds now because they actually deleted it.

00:11:04.000 They deleted it on Instagram, and so someone found it and it resurfaced, which tells you the kind of reaction that they got.

00:11:09.000 And this is Miller Lite deciding to burn their customer base to the ground.

00:11:13.000 And by the way, also entirely factually inaccurate, so we'll fact check it really quickly just so you can kind of have justification for the...

00:11:22.000 Look, if you're watching this and you're a Christian, it's wrong to hate.

00:11:25.000 Unless you hate the right things and Miller Lite qualifies.

00:11:28.000 Here's a little known fact.

00:11:29.000 Women were among the very first to brew beer ever. 1.00

00:11:32.000 Oh, among!

00:11:33.000 You watched it.

00:11:33.000 How do you know?

00:11:34.000 From Mesopotamia to the Middle Ages to Colonial America, women were the ones doing the brewing. 1.00

00:11:38.000 Centuries later, let the industry pay homage to the founding mothers of beer.

00:11:43.000 They put us in bikinis. 0.96

00:11:45.000 Founding mothers of beer.

00:11:48.000 Oh, because that's offensive.

00:11:50.000 Yeah, we put them in that.

00:11:52.000 Yeah, we put them in that.

00:11:53.000 We just noticed.

00:11:53.000 You're already in them.

00:11:54.000 Is that a trans woman? 0.99

00:11:55.000 on a mission to clean up not just their sh** but the whole beer industry's sh**. MillerLite 1.00

00:12:00.000 has been scouring the internet for all this sh** and buying new bags so that we can turn 0.98

00:12:04.000 it into good sh** for women brewers. Literally good sh**. 1.00

00:12:08.000 How you ask? Ladies, take it away. 1.00

00:12:11.000 First we turn the bad sh** into compost. Then we feed compost to worms. Zip it, push it 1.00

00:12:15.000 out. Beautiful fertilizer. Notice how they give her a smaller bag of fertilizer. 1.00

00:12:20.000 That's a 10 pound bag, not a 50 pound bag. 0.97

00:12:22.000 Would you tend to only it to women brewers to make their own really good sh**? 1.00

00:12:27.000 But there's definitely more sh** out there. 0.99

00:12:29.000 In your attic, in the garage, in your parents' basement. 0.99

00:12:31.000 Send any sh** you got into Miller Lite and they'll turn that into good sh** too. 0.99

00:12:35.000 So here's to women. Because without us, there would be no beer. 1.00

00:12:43.000 Without people like you, there'd be no reason for beer.

00:12:46.000 Without us, there'll be no Miller.

00:12:48.000 Yes, exactly.

00:12:49.000 Remember, everybody, March was Women's Revisionary History Month, just to be clear. 0.61

00:12:52.000 Yes, apparently so.

00:12:54.000 And that last claim, without us, there would be no beer.

00:12:58.000 You said among.

00:12:59.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:13:00.000 We were among the first brewers, which means you watched and you said, hey, why are you spending all day brewing?

00:13:04.000 Why don't you come home and talk to me?

00:13:06.000 What are you thinking?

00:13:08.000 She meant amongst.

00:13:09.000 Amongst.

00:13:10.000 Yes.

00:13:10.000 Apparently there were others that could have done this.

00:13:12.000 Yeah.

00:13:14.000 Sorry.

00:13:15.000 Sometimes you think, hey, maybe AI taking over half the jobs is a good thing.

00:13:15.000 You know what?

00:13:19.000 Yeah.

00:13:19.000 We deserve it.

00:13:22.000 And Forbes, and we're going to fact check this, nearly everything she just said is incorrect, by the way.

00:13:26.000 It's the rewriting of history.

00:13:26.000 This is the problem.

00:13:27.000 I get it.

00:13:28.000 I get it. 0.93

00:13:29.000 You don't like white men. 0.79

00:13:30.000 We understand it. 0.87

00:13:30.000 Okay? 0.87

00:13:31.000 But you're wrong.

00:13:33.000 You're just incorrect.

00:13:34.000 Now, Forbes praised the ad with an article titled, Miller Lite's Campaign to Eradicate Sexist Beer Advertising Proved Successful.

00:13:42.000 Sexist beer.

00:13:42.000 How?

00:13:43.000 First off, I don't know how beer can be sexist.

00:13:45.000 I know they're saying advertising.

00:13:46.000 Tomorrow we actually will have our very own Mr. Miller, the sexist beer, to conduct an interview.

00:13:52.000 Yeah, but it proved successful so successful.

00:13:54.000 They had to delete it from their own social media immediate post haste The minute Dylan Mulvaney started gracing a Bud Light, they're like, oh god Oh gosh!

00:14:07.000 Sales are tanking!

00:14:08.000 They were watching the Dylan Mulvaney debacle unfurl, like, every single scientist who wasn't listened to before every disaster movie, like, watching the stage five, the level five hurricane, like, oh my gosh.

00:14:21.000 You know, I'd never had a Carl's Jr.

00:14:22.000 until Paris Hilton.

00:14:23.000 So it works.

00:14:27.000 That says more about you.

00:14:28.000 That's the problem.

00:14:29.000 It does.

00:14:29.000 It says a lot.

00:14:30.000 Absolutely.

00:14:30.000 It's a terrible burger.

00:14:31.000 Gosh, I want a hamburger right now. 0.90

00:14:32.000 And a terrible person. 0.89

00:14:33.000 Yes.

00:14:34.000 So, by the way, let's go through the claim and then some rapid farches.

00:14:36.000 So the claim that she makes is, from Mesopotamia to colonial America, women were the ones doing the brewing.

00:14:42.000 Okay, here are some truths.

00:14:44.000 Okay?

00:14:44.000 No.

00:14:45.000 Now, some women have been involved, to be certain, just like women are involved with a lot of things, but men throughout history have largely been the ones brewing beer.

00:14:53.000 Now, if you mean that some woman at some point found something that happened to be fermented and, like, took a nibble and was like, eh, try it, and the guy was like, I have my own fermented wheat, and she was like, try mine!

00:15:01.000 Maybe.

00:15:03.000 We've got peaches! 1.00

00:15:04.000 But men have been brewing beer throughout history.

00:15:06.000 So let's go to 1265, Bohemian King Odocar, hopefully I have that right, Odocar II, chartered a brewery in the town of Budweiser, originally, you know, that's the home of Budweiser, right?

00:15:17.000 The origin, I should say.

00:15:18.000 George Washington, Thomas Jefferson.

00:15:20.000 They had breweries on their own plantations.

00:15:23.000 And women didn't actually do a lot of the brewing. 1.00

00:15:24.000 Just to be clear, the widespread brewing of beer, it was present by, well, it was present in ancient Egypt, and it was presided over by men.

00:15:31.000 Just to be clear.

00:15:33.000 And then before you had this sort of mechanization, right, this sort of industrial revolution, planting, harvesting, of course, was what a lot of the men did.

00:15:39.000 So maybe what they mean to say is that sometimes the men would do all of the legwork, and then take it, and the woman would be like, yeah, you go out and do, you go out with the scythe in the sun before we have SPF anything, and you bring it, and I'll stir the pot of the wort every now and then, and then I'm the brewer!

00:15:54.000 I'm the brewmaster!

00:15:57.000 I'm Mrs. Old Milwaukee!

00:16:00.000 No, men did most of the physically exhaustive tasks that of course would be required to create beer.

00:16:04.000 Here, here's just a clip, because...

00:16:06.000 Then, farmers used a simple scythe to harvest their grain.

00:16:09.000 They could cut an acre a day.

00:16:11.000 Then they had to thresh it.

00:16:13.000 An average farm was small, and it fed about five people.

00:16:16.000 And he did not come home to a woman who took credit.

00:16:19.000 You know, why don't you use your side-effects, maybe you should use like this.

00:16:24.000 It's more of a wrist flick. 0.99

00:16:26.000 Shut up! 1.00

00:16:27.000 He had dinner waiting for him. 1.00

00:16:28.000 Yes, exactly.

00:16:31.000 73% of American farmers today are men.

00:16:33.000 Just to be clear.

00:16:34.000 Men were paid in beer.

00:16:36.000 So British Navy sailors, they received a daily ration of beer until the 1810s.

00:16:39.000 Belgian farmhands were actually paid in what is commonly referred to now as Cezanne beer.

00:16:43.000 Some people call it farmhouse beer, but Cezanne means season, right, in French.

00:16:47.000 First beer I liked.

00:16:47.000 the season of the harvest. They would pay their work hands because it was safer than water back

00:16:51.000 then. And again, most of the work hands were men. But it's liquid bread. Yes. Serves a good purpose.

00:16:56.000 Well, it's actually, if it's low ABV beer, it's not actually a bad idea in place of like a

00:17:01.000 Gatorade. There are electrolytes, you have potassium, a little bit of salt in there,

00:17:04.000 high source of silicone. Beer can be helpful in moderation.

00:17:07.000 Again, people will get mad who don't drink.

00:17:09.000 I understand, and if you don't drink, you don't have to start drinking.

00:17:10.000 I'm just telling you that men brewed the beer, and men were the farmhands who got all the materials that were used to brew the beer.

00:17:18.000 By the way, smash the Rumble button if you're watching on Rumble, because that's the only place where this is allowed, exactly.

00:17:24.000 I mean, I could talk about this on YouTube, they'll just shadowban it.

00:17:26.000 Here's something else.

00:17:27.000 The monks, just to be clear, they were involved with beer production.

00:17:30.000 I don't know if you know this.

00:17:30.000 Monks.

00:17:31.000 Monks.

00:17:32.000 I mean, men.

00:17:34.000 The Belgian Trappist monks, they brew beer to sustain themselves during fasting, which, by the way, makes fasting a whole lot easier if you can drink Belgian ales, to be clear.

00:17:41.000 You're instantly hammered.

00:17:41.000 I didn't even know!

00:17:43.000 Have you had any Westmal or Trappists? 1.00

00:17:45.000 They're like 9, 11%.

00:17:46.000 On an empty stomach.

00:17:46.000 Yes.

00:17:47.000 What are you doing, huh?

00:17:48.000 I'm just, I'm just communing with the Lord!

00:17:51.000 The Daniel fast is so much easier.

00:17:54.000 Yes, I find that I'm brought much, much closer to Jesus after four Belgian triples. 0.99

00:17:54.000 That's right. 0.99

00:17:58.000 With no food on my stomach.

00:18:00.000 I forgot, you're so perfect!

00:18:02.000 I'm fasting.

00:18:04.000 You had Catholic saints like St.

00:18:06.000 Arnold, of course, and then you had St.

00:18:07.000 Florian.

00:18:08.000 They saved people with beer.

00:18:10.000 They would also commune amongst people.

00:18:10.000 They would use it.

00:18:12.000 And then, by the way, the nuns only brewed Zima, so that was something just to be clear.

00:18:17.000 Now let's look at the demographic.

00:18:18.000 The brewers, they cater to their core demographic.

00:18:20.000 Men prefer beer to women, according to a Gallup poll.

00:18:22.000 Men, 54%. 0.82

00:18:23.000 Women, 23%.

00:18:25.000 Also, worth noting while we're talking, without women there would be no beer. 1.00

00:18:30.000 Okay, I don't know if you know this, but some of the inventions, some of the devices that have been used, that have been implemented to brew beer, mechanized harvesters, pasteurization, kegs, taps, all of those were invented by men.

00:18:44.000 So, the men went out to the field, they took, and this is why women, just so you know, it's not to try, there are things that women do better than men. 0.57

00:18:52.000 Working as a farmhand and brewing beer on modern inventions is not chief amongst them, just to be clear.

00:18:58.000 This is why people get upset, it is about, and this is the issue too, we'll talk about this with the Twitter CEO.

00:19:05.000 They aren't beholden to their user base.

00:19:07.000 This is what happened right with Budweiser as the sales went down or Bud Light, right?

00:19:10.000 The stock went up for a little bit.

00:19:11.000 Why?

00:19:12.000 Because it's about their shareholders.

00:19:13.000 It's about the board.

00:19:13.000 It's about the ESG score.

00:19:15.000 It's about Vanguard.

00:19:15.000 It's about BlackRock.

00:19:16.000 It's about international interest.

00:19:17.000 It's not about the actual people who consume the beer.

00:19:20.000 And the left just takes history and then says the opposite of it.

00:19:25.000 Yeah.

00:19:26.000 But who invented the bikini? 0.84

00:19:27.000 Well, it's probably a guy.

00:19:29.000 Yeah, probably a guy.

00:19:30.000 I mean, it's self-serving a little bit.

00:19:33.000 But also tampons and birth control, just to be clear.

00:19:36.000 And we did that for you!

00:19:38.000 Okay, those are kind of for us a little bit.

00:19:42.000 I don't know why a guy invented pantyhose before that every woman wore garter belts. 1.00

00:19:48.000 Then we decided to make this far less attractive and gross.

00:19:51.000 It's a little window into Steven right there.

00:19:55.000 What is that?

00:19:56.000 I have no idea what someone's bringing up here.

00:19:57.000 This is personal.

00:19:59.000 Anything else that I missed?

00:20:00.000 No, I don't think you missed.

00:20:00.000 Look, they could have just sent out an ad that said, hey, we want to honor the contributions of women in brewing beer.

00:20:05.000 Fantastic!

00:20:08.000 But in her defense, I think she meant it as a question.

00:20:11.000 She said Mesopotamia.

00:20:13.000 And Mesopotamia?

00:20:15.000 So I think she started out with that premise.

00:20:16.000 At the very top.

00:20:17.000 Mesopotamia?

00:20:18.000 And then the entire industry has been beholden to that advertising since infancy, essentially.

00:20:24.000 And now you're going to go back and say, ugh, we're so wrong for doing this to you.

00:20:27.000 And I'm like, no.

00:20:28.000 Do you know how much money those people got paid?

00:20:30.000 This is what it is.

00:20:31.000 It is now.

00:20:32.000 We loved it.

00:20:33.000 This is how you know it is so clearly.

00:20:36.000 And I would love to, you guys can comment below.

00:20:38.000 Used to be the pearl-clutching, you know, Republicans, right?

00:20:41.000 People who would be like, that's inappropriate!

00:20:43.000 And by the way, usually Christians just were saying, hey, that's age-inappropriate for kids, right? 0.65

00:20:46.000 We need a rating system like Rated R. South Park, for example, shouldn't be on at 9 o'clock at night when kids tune into a cartoon, right?

00:20:53.000 That might have been the issue.

00:20:54.000 But now the left is the—they're the pearl-clutchers who are offended by everything. 1.00

00:20:57.000 They're going, oh, bikinis? 0.99

00:20:59.000 We're just saying like, hey, hold on a second.

00:21:00.000 Maybe you shouldn't have NC-17, like, 12-year-olds going in.

00:21:03.000 But the left now is offended at the sexualization of women. 1.00

00:21:05.000 And by the way, there's a limit to it.

00:21:07.000 But here's the thing.

00:21:08.000 Look, men like beer. 0.99

00:21:10.000 Men like beautiful women. 0.96

00:21:11.000 You put beautiful women in bikinis next to beer, the product sells itself. 1.00

00:21:16.000 Look, it's terrible beer.

00:21:17.000 They're offended by everything, but under what basis?

00:21:19.000 I thought sexuality was empowering.

00:21:22.000 Oh, unless it's women who don't look like you. 1.00

00:21:24.000 Namely, attractive women who help sell beer. 1.00

00:21:27.000 To the monks.

00:21:29.000 Well, no, they're not advertising to the monks.

00:21:30.000 I don't think they have televisions.

00:21:32.000 They make their own beer.

00:21:33.000 They have a lot of beer.

00:21:34.000 That's true.

00:21:34.000 They made the best beer, by the way.

00:21:36.000 Yeah, they do.

00:21:36.000 They make the best beer.

00:21:37.000 The monks.

00:21:37.000 Fantastic.

00:21:38.000 But the left is a religion.

00:21:39.000 They're offended now.

00:21:40.000 They're the ones saying, you have to get real old bikini. 0.96

00:21:41.000 That's inappropriate.

00:21:42.000 Really, what they're offended by is beauty.

00:21:44.000 Take Lizzo and put her in a bikini and it's beautiful and it's brave.

00:21:48.000 Take an attractive woman and put her next to an American icon at a company and you go, oh, hold on a second, that's wrong, that's wrong, you're sexualizing women.

00:21:55.000 Do you think that if you take an attractive woman and put her in a turtleneck that men still aren't thinking the same thing?

00:22:01.000 You're just skipping the intermediate step.

00:22:04.000 By the way, they also have no problem with a trans person in a thong performing before children. 0.68

00:22:09.000 Oh, that's beautiful and brave.

00:22:09.000 Yes.

00:22:10.000 Well, that's the right sexualization.

00:22:12.000 The wrong sexualization is Kathy Ireland. 1.00

00:22:14.000 Gross! 0.98

00:22:14.000 Ugh! 0.98

00:22:15.000 Ah!

00:22:15.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:22:16.000 Natural women. 1.00

00:22:17.000 Ew.

00:22:17.000 Yeah.

00:22:19.000 We swapped out Al McPherson for RuPaul. 0.96

00:22:25.000 Ridiculous! 0.93

00:22:26.000 It's the fall of Rome, folks. 0.99

00:22:27.000 You're living it.

00:22:29.000 Now we move on to the term investigation.

00:22:31.000 It's just people watch it and you know that you're mad.

00:22:34.000 All the references are made publicly available at ladderworthcreditor.com.

00:22:34.000 There you go.

00:22:37.000 The link is in the description.

00:22:38.000 What she said is incorrect.

00:22:39.000 I'm sure there were a few women nagging at the brewers somewhere down the line. 1.00

00:22:42.000 So, okay.

00:22:43.000 It's the same partnership.

00:22:47.000 All right, let's go to this, uh, the Durham investigation again.

00:22:49.000 This was the probe, right?

00:22:51.000 Wow.

00:22:51.000 The special counsel, Durham, released finally the report on the FBI's 2016 Trump-Russia... Wait, I'm always surprised when this story comes back because I thought it was done.

00:23:00.000 It just, it seems like it's confirming what we knew.

00:23:04.000 And to be clear, they have admitted now, just so, just so you know, I'm front-loading this and we'll get into the fact-checking.

00:23:09.000 They've attributed everything that was wrong, and by everything I do mean everything, that's not hyperbole, to missteps.

00:23:17.000 That's the word of the day!

00:23:19.000 It's mischief!

00:23:24.000 Apparently Pops Crotter didn't get the memo.

00:23:27.000 Or he didn't care. 0.97

00:23:28.000 I like the silly, I just don't participate. 0.97

00:23:31.000 That's fine. 0.96

00:23:33.000 I don't do a good Pee Wee Herman.

00:23:34.000 No, no one does a good Pee Wee Herman except for Pee Wee.

00:23:37.000 Stop it.

00:23:40.000 That was bad and you should feel bad!

00:23:42.000 Let's run the clip.

00:23:45.000 The argument that John Durham is making here is an argument that he's made before, which is essentially that he doesn't believe the FBI had the proper predication, was fully justified in opening that counterintelligence investigation, codenamed Crossfire Hurricane, back in 2016 into the Trump campaign.

00:24:02.000 He says that the FBI acted hastily and on uncorroborated, raw information.

00:24:07.000 And he says that there was other information, for example, about the Hillary Clinton campaign involving a foreign government that wanted to try to influence them that the FBI didn't react to in similar ways.

00:24:18.000 OK, so this is what the missteps, by the way, is using the FBI's Twitter response, saying You said it.

00:24:26.000 Need a moratorium on the word of the day?

00:24:28.000 been in place in 2016, the missteps identified in the report could have been prevented.

00:24:42.000 And by the way, reforms mean any type of guidelines or standards whatsoever.

00:24:48.000 And this, just to be clear, now it's irrefutable.

00:24:51.000 We've known this for a long time, but now the FBI is completely admitting it.

00:24:54.000 Durham is admitting it.

00:24:55.000 This constitutes an actual war on democracy.

00:24:58.000 When you have your own intelligence institutions, and by the way this has happened in the past of course, when you have federal agents who are plotting to kidnap a governor and blame it on some glorified beer drinking club, when they decide to actively commit crimes on January 6th going into the Capitol in order to entrap other people, though it's not just entrapment because in entrapment you're not actually allowed to commit a crime as a federal agent.

00:25:16.000 Yes, that is a war on democracy.

00:25:17.000 That is a war against you, the American citizen, just to be clear. 0.70

00:25:21.000 This is just more confirmation of that.

00:25:23.000 Why don't you trust your institution?

00:25:57.000 Because they're too expensive.

00:25:58.000 Quickly, because there are too many people.

00:25:59.000 they're talking about. I'll come back to my point.

00:26:01.000 Where Durham said, look, I don't think there should have been a full-scale investigation,

00:26:06.000 but a preliminary investigation. Wouldn't that have led to a full-scale investigation?

00:26:10.000 Because if you look at some of the connections, that would have prompted the FBI to say, hey,

00:26:15.000 we need to look into this fully.

00:26:16.000 Exactly.

00:26:17.000 I mean, that's a big admission on Durham's part.

00:26:19.000 The fact that he conceded that a preliminary investigation was appropriate to start.

00:26:24.000 And by the way, you're exactly right.

00:26:25.000 It would have immediately converted into a full investigation anyway.

00:26:28.000 It doesn't take a lot to get there for the FBI.

00:26:31.000 And they immediately started uncovering all of these questionable contacts between the Russians and the Trump folks.

00:26:36.000 I mean, there was a lot of meat there.

00:26:38.000 No, why do they even say that?

00:26:39.000 No, they've admitted that that's not the case.

00:26:40.000 Gerald, let's go to your point, because then we have some then and now clips.

00:26:43.000 This is them really trying to couch it.

00:26:45.000 We have some clips from CNN actually acknowledging that this was a sham, but you add a point.

00:26:49.000 Here's the low-level investigation that it should have been, and they said that this should have been a preliminary, low-level, happens all the time, nobody finds out about it.

00:26:57.000 No, that doesn't make any sense at all.

00:26:59.000 That should have been the low-level investigation.

00:27:00.000 No, it would not have blown up into a full-scale investigation.

00:27:03.000 The problem that we have is that you guys want to act like a handful of people on January 6th was overthrowing democracy because they got out of control.

00:27:10.000 Not the rest of the protesters that weren't getting out of control, but the people, the handful, maybe a few hundred people that ended up getting crazy out of a crowd of literally tens and tens and tens of thousands of people.

00:27:20.000 Maybe hundreds of thousands of people there, right?

00:27:22.000 This is the government actively going after the sitting President of the United States for three years.

00:27:31.000 And by the way, saying that the election was not legitimate, just to be clear.

00:27:34.000 Yes, claiming the election was not legitimate, that Russians were absolutely influencing the President of the United States, dogging him at every single turn.

00:27:43.000 This is not a mistake.

00:27:44.000 This is not an oopsie.

00:27:45.000 And by the way, it's still to this day, people go, oh, Donald Trump, Putin's puppet?

00:27:49.000 Because of this.

00:27:50.000 Yes. 0.96

00:27:50.000 The preliminary investigation, sometimes people will give you crap if you're being reductive. 0.96

00:27:53.000 I think it's distilling it.

00:27:55.000 You know, my favorite comedian of all time, Norm Macdonald, we've talked about, he would take a punchline, he would take a joke, and he would distill it down to as few words as possible.

00:28:01.000 That's what the preliminary investigation should have been.

00:28:03.000 It should have been, hey, hey, the dossier here is paid for by Hillary Clinton, you know. 0.98

00:28:09.000 No, they can't use that. 1.00

00:28:10.000 That's, uh, savage bullshit. 1.00

00:28:12.000 That's, you know, that Hillary Clinton dossier. 1.00

00:28:15.000 Not a reliable source.

00:28:16.000 In other news!

00:28:18.000 Her husband killed a guy!

00:28:19.000 Yeah!

00:28:19.000 Her husband killed a guy!

00:28:21.000 He was murdered in the White House!

00:28:26.000 That's exactly what it should have been.

00:28:28.000 This should scare the hell out of everybody because this is not somebody just not following practices like the FBI's tweet said, oh we've got new things in place.

00:28:35.000 It was a political hit job.

00:28:37.000 You guys tried to take down a sitting president knowing that it was false.

00:28:42.000 Somebody goes to jail for that.

00:28:43.000 It changes everything.

00:28:44.000 Like I said, they created, unwittingly created, the most squeaky clean presidency ever.

00:28:49.000 The way they scrutinized him every single day.

00:28:52.000 And he can deny anything now.

00:28:54.000 He's totally insulated.

00:28:56.000 Why would we believe you ever?

00:28:58.000 I mean, this is a big win for him.

00:29:00.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:29:01.000 He'd be like, well, look, you want to say that I sexually abused her, but you said that I worked with Russia, so...

00:29:10.000 Doesn't matter what it is.

00:29:11.000 Doesn't matter what it is.

00:29:12.000 And we can skip Cliff MSNBC because they were just talking about it on CNN.

00:29:15.000 So this is them now trying to downplay it, but the findings are so conclusive, again

00:29:19.000 all references are publicly available, that even CNN has not been able to actually deny

00:29:25.000 their actuality.

00:29:27.000 Regardless, the report is now here, it has dropped, and it might not have produced everything

00:29:31.000 of what some Republicans voted for.

00:29:32.000 It is regardless devastating to the FBI and to a degree it does exonerate Donald Trump.

00:29:43.000 And by the way, what does that mean?

00:29:46.000 They failed at what?

00:29:47.000 They failed at trying to remove a sitting president by, what?

00:29:51.000 Sowing mistrust in the legitimacy of the election.

00:29:55.000 There was an entire board council, Elizabeth Warren was on there, Amy Klobuchar saying, we need to strengthen our elections because Russia interfered with the 2016 election.

00:30:03.000 Just like fake news.

00:30:04.000 The left tried to use fake news initially and then Donald Trump jujitsu'd it on them.

00:30:08.000 Now they hate that term fake news.

00:30:09.000 They were the ones saying elections are not fair, elections are not free, elections are being interfered with foreign entities.

00:30:15.000 And we have people here in the United States, namely Donald Trump, working with foreign entities, foreign agents. 0.71

00:30:19.000 No word on the fact that Eric Swalwell was fornicating a Chinese spy!

00:30:24.000 Which brings us to this installment of Then and Now.

00:30:28.000 All right, so let's go back to then, right?

00:30:37.000 Then, time travel, time travel.

00:30:41.000 They said that there was ample evidence, so much evidence they could just kind of skip the preliminary, well yeah, yeah, to open what was referred to, if you have forgotten, it was referred to as Crossfire Hurricane, that was the investigation.

00:30:52.000 But on Capitol Hill today, lawmakers were busy pouring over the election we just had.

00:30:52.000 Good naming.

00:30:59.000 I'm honored to be here representing the people of the FBI.

00:31:01.000 Members of the House Intelligence Committee convening a blockbuster hearing.

00:31:06.000 I would like to welcome our witnesses, Director of the FBI, Jim Comey, and Director of the National Security Agency, Admiral Rogers.

00:31:14.000 The nation's top cop, and one of the nation's most senior spymasters, there to testify about allegations that Russia tried to influence the outcome.

00:31:24.000 I have been authorized by the Department of Justice to confirm that the FBI, as part of

00:31:29.000 our counterintelligence mission, is investigating the Russian government's efforts to interfere

00:31:35.000 in the 2016 presidential election.

00:31:38.000 Now why would you need to know that they were investigating?

00:31:40.000 Again, this was Kabuki theater.

00:31:42.000 This was a show investigation.

00:31:44.000 A show sort of pseudo-trial, really, because Donald Trump's character was put on trial.

00:31:49.000 So that was then.

00:31:50.000 Now, and this is according to the Durham Report, there was... I know what you're thinking.

00:31:56.000 Some?

00:31:56.000 None.

00:31:58.000 A little?

00:31:59.000 Maybe a little?

00:32:00.000 Not even any.

00:32:00.000 Really?

00:32:02.000 None at all.

00:32:03.000 No scotch.

00:32:04.000 No scotch.

00:32:05.000 No droplet.

00:32:07.000 No scosh. 1.00

00:32:08.000 No smidgen.

00:32:09.000 There was no credible evidence.

00:32:11.000 This is from the report.

00:32:12.000 Based on the evidence gathered in the multiple, exhaustive, and costly federal investigations, neither U.S.

00:32:18.000 law enforcement nor the intelligence community appears to have possessed Any actual evidence of collusion in their holdings at the commencement of the Crossfire Hurricane investigation.

00:32:28.000 Wow!

00:32:29.000 And just when you're saying no credible evidence, you're saying, well hold on a second, what's the standard?

00:32:32.000 Well, Durham noted that the FBI did not, for example, interview any pertinent witnesses.

00:32:39.000 They didn't review their own intelligence, and they didn't use any standard analytical tools that would be used in an investigation like this.

00:32:46.000 So, no evidence, none whatsoever.

00:32:48.000 This has been going on for years.

00:32:50.000 By the way, continued.

00:32:51.000 Remember the questions for Donald Trump in the re-election campaign were still about Russia.

00:32:55.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:32:56.000 By the way, if they had just looked at kind of the top sheet for the binder and it said Hillary Clinton campaign strategy, that probably would have tipped them off just a little bit.

00:33:04.000 Also, the timing in October for the October surprise, I think that was... Well, no one reads the top sheet anymore.

00:33:09.000 Well, they need to read the top sheet!

00:33:10.000 So listen, this is James Comey, right?

00:33:12.000 The guy who tried to rehab, I think it was on HBO or one of those places, tried to rehab his image by doing this documentary, releasing a book He's the guy who found that Hillary Clinton had all of the information that we thought she had on her private emails, you know, all the email stuff that was classified, on her private servers at home and deleted them and destroyed the information so that we couldn't even go into it, right?

00:33:34.000 Use BleachBit or whatever it was to kind of get rid of it and said, ah, that's, that's not good, but I don't think we should charge her.

00:33:39.000 Yeah.

00:33:40.000 That's that guy.

00:33:41.000 Hey, if they weren't spending, again, according to the report here, the exhaustive and costly, if they weren't spending those resources, maybe we could have found out all the people who were sex-trafficked to Epstein's pedophile island.

00:33:55.000 Probably so, and it wouldn't cost you much.

00:33:56.000 You just have to ask Justine Maxwell.

00:33:59.000 She's in jail. 0.52

00:34:00.000 We know where she is. 0.99

00:34:01.000 You just walk to the island like Columbo with a notepad and you say, you have sex with Epstein! 0.93

00:34:07.000 And the answer's always yes. 0.95

00:34:08.000 It is always yes.

00:34:09.000 Yes!

00:34:10.000 And then you'd be able to find him.

00:34:12.000 Still no answers?

00:34:13.000 The Vegas shooter?

00:34:14.000 Nothing?

00:34:14.000 But they spent a bunch of time on this, and by the way, it's not that they didn't find anything.

00:34:18.000 They were fabricating information to the public that the media, of course, disseminated.

00:34:23.000 All right, so let's go back to then.

00:34:26.000 Back then, they were claiming that the Steele dossier, and you remember, Steele dossier, fused in GPS, was paid for partially by the Hillary Clinton campaign.

00:34:33.000 They were saying back then that the Steele dossier was completely legitimate.

00:34:37.000 Well, Jake, for the first time, U.S.

00:34:39.000 investigators say that they have corroborated some of the communications detailed in a 35-page dossier compiled by a former British intelligence agent.

00:34:49.000 CNN was first to report last month that then-President-elect Donald Trump and President Barack Obama He's been in office two, three weeks at that point?

00:34:58.000 two, three weeks at that point?

00:34:59.000 Until now, U.S. officials have said that none of the content or allegations have been verified.

00:35:04.000 But now, multiple current and former U.S. law enforcement and intelligence officials

00:35:09.000 tell CNN that intelligence intercepts of foreign nationals confirm that some of the conversations

00:35:15.000 described in the dossier took place between the same individuals on the same days and

00:35:20.000 from the same locations as detailed in the dossier.

00:35:24.000 This is why sometimes people say, oh, it's being reductive.

00:35:26.000 This is why I believe in speaking as clearly as possible.

00:35:30.000 Okay?

00:35:30.000 You should be simple and clear in your communication.

00:35:34.000 What that man just said was nothing.

00:35:37.000 Yes.

00:35:38.000 So, we're trying to paint a picture so you can hold the media, not just the media, but of course the DNC, but I repeat myself, hold them accountable.

00:35:45.000 That's what they were saying back then.

00:35:46.000 Though they haven't been corroborated, now they're saying that they have.

00:35:50.000 Right?

00:35:50.000 That's what they said back then.

00:35:51.000 Which brings us to now.

00:35:52.000 Well, the FBI didn't corroborate anything according to the report.

00:35:55.000 The FBI attempted over time to investigate and analyze the Steele reports, but ultimately

00:36:00.000 was not able to confirm or corroborate any of the substantive allegations contained in

00:36:06.000 those reports.

00:36:07.000 That's just...

00:36:08.000 That's insane.

00:36:09.000 The guy basically just, at CNN, fire everyone by the way.

00:36:12.000 All of your advisors, all of the multiple intelligence agency people plus former intelligence officials that said this.

00:36:19.000 What was it at a time there was like 60 some odd people that they kept, like some number that they kept quoting?

00:36:24.000 I actually think that this is one of those issues where, as a matter of national security, this entire investigation should be unsealed.

00:36:39.000 We should know how they interviewed people.

00:36:41.000 We should know how they tried to corroborate their sources.

00:36:42.000 We should know how they investigated these.

00:36:44.000 In other words, how do you spend this much time and these many resources?

00:36:48.000 I understand that sometimes in the interest of national security, for example, if you're trying to track down some jihadi in the middle of, you know, what you're soon to turn into Kel-El's bachelor pad, then yeah, okay, you need to keep that hidden. 0.92

00:37:01.000 In this case, we now know that it was a sham.

00:37:02.000 We want to know, hold on a second, why did it take you this long and what leads were you tracking down?

00:37:08.000 What leads were you chasing down?

00:37:09.000 Comment below and hit like if you think this should be released to the public.

00:37:12.000 Not just the final report, not just a briefing, but everything.

00:37:16.000 This should be the kind of scenario where investigative journalists, you, citizen journalists, should be able to dive deep into this.

00:37:23.000 this you should be able to comb through all of it to see what

00:37:47.000 named Igor Danchenko who was a Russian national and described himself uh wait he's a Russian

00:37:54.000 national and uh he described his own sources as rumor and speculation

00:38:01.000 So all of this was based on the Russian equivalent of TMZ.

00:38:05.000 Yes, exactly.

00:38:07.000 Tonight on Igor Danchenko, I see Trump at airport.

00:38:12.000 Did you sleep with Chinese spy? 1.00

00:38:14.000 He's peeing on prostitutes, too. 1.00

00:38:16.000 Don't forget, that was part of this report. 0.99

00:38:17.000 No, he had prostitutes peeing on furniture in front of him, remember? 1.00

00:38:21.000 That's an in-depth lie. 0.98

00:38:22.000 Yes, it is.

00:38:24.000 And makes no sense because he's a germophobe. 1.00

00:38:28.000 If Donald Trump was into weird sex, the last thing I would assume would be Russian prostitutes peeing on furniture. 1.00

00:38:33.000 I don't know, is it me? 1.00

00:38:36.000 Maybe you would be into watching Russian prostitutes in a maid outfit cleaning up furniture. 1.00

00:38:40.000 That's it! 0.98

00:38:41.000 Even though it has a cellophane, clean it!

00:38:48.000 Get the Swiffer! 0.97

00:38:51.000 The wet jet.

00:38:51.000 I love the wet jet.

00:38:54.000 Big fan.

00:38:54.000 So this brings us back to them!

00:38:57.000 And again, they want to memory hole this.

00:38:58.000 They want to gaslight you.

00:39:00.000 So now you're like, well, I guess they did their investigation.

00:39:02.000 No, no.

00:39:03.000 They were already telling you the conclusion of the investigation as it was ongoing and it was being dishonestly conducted.

00:39:09.000 They said back then that this was an unbiased investigation.

00:39:13.000 In light of the Don Jr.

00:39:15.000 email and other allegations that this whole thing about Trump campaigning in Russia is a witch hunt.

00:39:21.000 Is that a fair description of what we're all dealing with in America?

00:39:26.000 Well, Senator, I can't speak to the basis for those comments.

00:39:28.000 I can tell you that my experience with Director Mueller... I'm asking you, as the future FBI director, do you consider this endeavor a witch hunt?

00:39:36.000 I do not consider Director Mueller to be on a witch hunt.

00:39:39.000 Mmm.

00:39:40.000 Okay.

00:39:40.000 Now I understand that's a term that maybe if it exists sort of in a vacuum.

00:39:44.000 Witch hunt.

00:39:45.000 Alright.

00:39:45.000 Do we have anything to compare it to?

00:39:47.000 Which brings us to...

00:39:49.000 Now we know that there were different standards, double standards if you will, used to investigate Trump while ignoring Hillary Clinton.

00:39:56.000 So this is from the report.

00:39:57.000 Unlike the FBI's opening of a full investigation of unknown members of the Trump campaign based on raw, uncorroborated information in this separate matter involving a purported Hillary Clinton campaign plan, the FBI never opened any type of inquiry.

00:40:13.000 That's several steps removed from an entirely conduct investigation.

00:40:17.000 We didn't even have a preliminary investigation. 1.00

00:40:18.000 We spent federal resources on the investigation, not even an inquiry with Hillary Clinton, even though she said, yeah, I did that shit. 1.00

00:40:25.000 Pretty much. 1.00

00:40:26.000 They knew this, by the way.

00:40:28.000 Barack Obama knew this.

00:40:29.000 If you look at some of the reports in this dossier, this kind of the Durham report, if you look at this, and maybe our research team can pull this up, they actually briefed, I think Brennan briefed the President about this, and about this being something from the Hillary Clinton campaign, kind of as the origination of the source.

00:40:46.000 I believe that that was known at the time.

00:40:48.000 Of course!

00:40:48.000 That that was, and they briefed him in the Situation Room.

00:40:50.000 Yeah.

00:40:51.000 Right?

00:40:53.000 Everybody was in on it, guys.

00:40:54.000 Everybody was in on it.

00:40:55.000 That's what it tells you.

00:40:56.000 The sitting president of the United States, the person who is the frontrunner for the Democrats, the CIA and the FBI were in on it.

00:41:05.000 They knew about this the entire time and went out and said, Well, several sources tell us that this is true.

00:41:12.000 Several sources tell us, former and current intelligence officials tell us that this is true, and Russia's meddling in the election.

00:41:18.000 Before his boxes are even unpacked at 1600 Pennsylvania, this is in the news.

00:41:22.000 Right, exactly.

00:41:23.000 And then they would ask about it.

00:41:24.000 Remember when they fact-checked him, where he said, you know, the previous administration spied on my campaign?

00:41:28.000 They said, that's not true, Mr. President.

00:41:30.000 It absolutely was true. 0.54

00:41:31.000 Yeah.

00:41:31.000 It absolutely was true.

00:41:32.000 It was.

00:41:36.000 and of

00:41:53.000 and and

00:42:46.000 and There it is.

00:42:49.000 July of 2016.

00:42:50.000 And everyone likes to act like Barack Obama is a stand-up guy.

00:42:53.000 Now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, wait.

00:42:57.000 Hold on, I can't think straight.

00:42:58.000 Isn't that illegal?

00:42:59.000 So, let me get this straight.

00:43:00.000 Hold on, Geraldine.

00:43:01.000 Let me get this straight.

00:43:01.000 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, wait.

00:43:03.000 I can't, hold on, I can't think straight.

00:43:05.000 Now, isn't that illegal? 1.00

00:43:07.000 Asshole! 1.00

00:43:08.000 They said. 1.00

00:43:09.000 Yes.

00:43:10.000 So, let me get this straight.

00:43:11.000 Hold on, hold on, Geraldine.

00:43:12.000 Let me get this straight.

00:43:13.000 We're going to effectively tarnish spy on a campaign.

00:43:19.000 Yeah.

00:43:20.000 On President, even though we know it's illegal.

00:43:23.000 That's correct, Mr. President, yes.

00:43:26.000 Pull that back up.

00:43:27.000 I want to be clear.

00:43:28.000 This is not that this was an allegation.

00:43:30.000 This is not that this was some kind of thing we're saying.

00:43:32.000 July 26th of 2016, a proposal from one of her foreign policy advisors to vilify Donald Trump by stirring up a scandal claiming interference by Russian security services.

00:43:44.000 Approved by Hillary Clinton.

00:43:47.000 That's the conversation that they had.

00:43:49.000 Not, hey, there's this dossier, and yeah, part of it's funded by these guys, but we still think it's true. 0.94

00:43:53.000 No, no, no, no, no.

00:43:54.000 This was a plot cooked up by Hillary Clinton, Mr. President, and we want you to know about it so everybody's on the same page when we go out in public and make sure that everybody hears about Donald Trump.

00:44:04.000 Nah, nah, nah, nah, don't get all wee-weed up. 0.99

00:44:07.000 Remember when he tried to make that a term?

00:44:09.000 Yeah.

00:44:09.000 My mommy used to say, don't get wee-wee'd up.

00:44:11.000 Nobody ever said that.

00:44:12.000 No one said that at all.

00:44:13.000 I don't think it's a saying.

00:44:14.000 No.

00:44:14.000 It's a saying in the South.

00:44:15.000 It's not.

00:44:15.000 Maybe in Kenya.

00:44:16.000 Nope.

00:44:17.000 Further South.

00:44:18.000 Keep going.

00:44:20.000 Little bit East.

00:44:22.000 So here's the other thing about this.

00:44:25.000 No charges.

00:44:26.000 Right.

00:44:27.000 No charges right now from this report.

00:44:28.000 I think we pulled up in the past maybe Hillary Clinton's lawyer one time was charged for something and was acquitted.

00:44:34.000 There may have been one person that actually was convicted of something but they're looking at this right now and saying oh but at least you know there's no breaking of the law but hey remember nobody's above the law so Donald Trump you know I know you're being you know in New York right now you're being indicted and actually a trial is coming up about something where you didn't actually pay somebody because they said you didn't pay them for this.

00:44:52.000 But your lawyer is lying about this right now because he spent some time in jail.

00:44:55.000 But there's no charges for this?

00:44:56.000 Yeah.

00:44:57.000 This is the biggest sedition case in the history of this country, arguably, maybe there's one more I'm forgetting about, that should be tried.

00:45:05.000 And if the Congress does not take up hearings immediately on this, they are not doing their job.

00:45:10.000 And by the way, this is the information equivalent of disarming you as a populist.

00:45:15.000 In other words, if you don't have the ability to defend yourself, if you don't have a firearm, And only the government has firearms.

00:45:20.000 Well, it's no longer a fair fight, right?

00:45:21.000 You might as well just submit to their will.

00:45:23.000 If the government is not beholden to the law, in other words if you can be charged, if you can be convicted for the exact same crimes for which they will be entirely absolved at every turn, You no longer have a free society.

00:45:37.000 The intelligence agencies are supposed to exist to serve and protect you.

00:45:41.000 They don't.

00:45:42.000 They protect themselves.

00:45:43.000 Why do you mistrust your institutions? 1.00

00:45:45.000 I think if you trusted our institutions in 2023, I think you're a fool. 0.99

00:45:49.000 This was an actual subversion of democracy. 0.98

00:45:51.000 It was a thousand times worse than what happened on January 6th, just to be clear.

00:45:56.000 And, well, maybe not if you're including what the FBI did on January 6th, but the point remains.

00:46:01.000 And by the way, again, the intelligence agencies, what's important, they worked for three years.

00:46:06.000 Three years!

00:46:07.000 Three years in collusion with Democrats, in collusion with, before Donald Trump came to office, then sitting president, and the person who they thought was going to have a coronation, Hillary Clinton, to try and prevent, and then unseat the president you elected.

00:46:23.000 And they chalk it all up now!

00:46:25.000 I don't know how many millions of dollars.

00:46:27.000 I'd be interested to see those numbers.

00:46:28.000 They chalk it all up to, oh, it was just a few missteps.

00:46:34.000 I'm done with it.

00:46:35.000 Do you buy it?

00:46:36.000 Do you buy it?

00:46:36.000 That was low energy.

00:46:37.000 Comment below.

00:46:37.000 Do you buy the, do you buy that just, oh, it was a mistake?

00:46:41.000 I forgot, I forget, they have the Lloyd Christmas defense.

00:46:43.000 I forgot you never make a mistake!

00:46:45.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:46:48.000 People should be going to jail.

00:46:49.000 Sorry.

00:46:49.000 This is not a mistake.

00:46:50.000 This is, this is...

00:46:53.000 If this is allowed to continue, don't think for a second that the FBI and the CIA won't be weaponized potentially the other way, or just potentially against everyday citizens.

00:47:03.000 I don't know, like the IRS has been in the past.

00:47:06.000 You remember when that happened, when all the conservatives started getting audited for no reason whatsoever by the IRS, and they started coming and closing down businesses?

00:47:12.000 Don't think for a second that this can be allowed to stay.

00:47:14.000 Let's go through the Donald Trump indictments, right?

00:47:16.000 When you say go to jail, because that's important, it's pretty severe.

00:47:18.000 Okay, Donald Trump, okay. 1.00

00:47:20.000 Do you think Donald Trump should go to jail for calling a porn star a lying whore? 0.99

00:47:24.000 Do you think that's a jailable offense when she admitted that it never happened, then said it did happen, then said it didn't happen, then said that it did happen? 0.99

00:47:30.000 By the way, she lost to the point where she has to pay his legal fees.

00:47:33.000 Okay, is that a jailable offense?

00:47:34.000 Is it a jailable offense to say, that woman's not my type, where he was not found guilty of actually raping somebody?

00:47:39.000 Is it a jailable offense?

00:47:40.000 Should he go to jail when you talk about January 6th?

00:47:43.000 What they discussed, he said, make your voices patriotically and peacefully heard.

00:47:48.000 Is it a jailable offense to say this is not a free election, this is rigged?

00:47:52.000 Is that jailable?

00:47:54.000 Here's the thing, for everything you dislike about Donald Trump, there is something valuable in someone never able to shut up.

00:48:01.000 He's not capable of keeping a secret.

00:48:05.000 You know there weren't things done in secret because he will say it publicly.

00:48:08.000 Well, it was the Zelinsky phone call.

00:48:09.000 He's like, what do you mean it was a perfect call?

00:48:11.000 He didn't deny the call.

00:48:13.000 It was a perfect call.

00:48:14.000 It was the best call.

00:48:15.000 You go make the call. 0.99

00:48:15.000 I bet it would suck. 0.99

00:48:19.000 Are those jailable? 0.89

00:48:20.000 Now, should it be a jailable offense to clear classified information from your computer and collude, by the way, with the media, with intelligence agencies, to try and overthrow a democratic election?

00:48:33.000 And it's elected leader, Donald Trump.

00:48:36.000 What's a jailable offense?

00:48:37.000 Comment below.

00:48:37.000 I'm very curious.

00:48:38.000 Let's take the worst that they throw at Donald Trump.

00:48:41.000 I don't even think it's close.

00:48:42.000 I don't even think it's close.

00:48:44.000 I'd also like to start a call for the Washington Post to give back their Pulitzer for their coverage of the 2016 Russia Games scandal.

00:48:51.000 Is it time for you guys to do that?

00:48:53.000 Because you got an award.

00:48:54.000 Yeah, that's right.

00:48:55.000 Pulitzer.

00:48:57.000 I'm crying out loud.

00:48:58.000 That's like the Nobel Peace Prize.

00:48:59.000 No one wants that anymore. 0.57

00:49:01.000 No, somebody's got to be spanked for this. 1.00

00:49:03.000 This has to have some teeth. 0.88

00:49:04.000 Yes.

00:49:05.000 And then we need to start going after these guys hard.

00:49:07.000 I mean, legally, not the way they fight, but we need to start, you know, when we get the power back, we need to start taking their guys down.

00:49:13.000 Just the way it is.

00:49:13.000 And this is the thing.

00:49:14.000 Until someone taps, it's got to be hard.

00:49:16.000 If Ron DeSantis doesn't come out and say, defund the FBI completely—remember I asked Kerry Lake, I said, that is my—if the candidate for our—I should say in the primaries—I won't vote for anyone who does not espouse the belief of defunding the FBI and the CIA and building something else in its place.

00:49:31.000 They want you to think that you're an extremist.

00:49:33.000 What's the value in the FBI?

00:49:34.000 What's the value in the CIA when you see this?

00:49:37.000 How did everybody—let's assume incompetence as opposed to malicious intent, which we know now.

00:49:45.000 How incompetent does every single person in the FBI have to be for this to go on?

00:49:50.000 Well, I guess about the time of the presidential term, right?

00:49:54.000 Time of re-election?

00:49:55.000 That's about how long it went on?

00:49:56.000 And then it sort of fizzled into the background?

00:49:58.000 If it's that completely incompetent, then there's no value there!

00:50:03.000 Defund the FBI.

00:50:04.000 Defund the FBI and the CIA.

00:50:06.000 We need something else in its place.

00:50:08.000 Or nothing would be just as good at this point.

00:50:11.000 Right.

00:50:11.000 They didn't come out and issue an apology either.

00:50:13.000 They didn't come out and say Donald Trump actually was not guilty.

00:50:15.000 It took an investigation into what happened by the federal government to see this.

00:50:22.000 Yeah.

00:50:23.000 And Donald Trump will not get anything from this.

00:50:25.000 He will not, other than a giant bump in the polls.

00:50:28.000 Right.

00:50:28.000 And one more thing to point at.

00:50:30.000 And being inoculated.

00:50:32.000 That inoculation is worth a lot.

00:50:33.000 If I'm him, I go to that well.

00:50:56.000 It's close enough.

00:50:57.000 And this has upset people on the right, it's upset some people on the left, namely people on the right.

00:51:01.000 But this is an issue, we talked about this with Tucker Carlson, and we're pretty fortunate here in our partnership with Rumble.

00:51:10.000 Who is more important?

00:51:12.000 The advertiser, and by the way, giant multinational conglomerate, right, corporations who have ESG and woke scores, or you, or the user.

00:51:21.000 And that is going to determine the direction of Twitter.

00:51:23.000 That's one thing that we have.

00:51:24.000 We're incredibly grateful.

00:51:25.000 By the way, you can join up at lightearthcreditor.com slash mugclub.

00:51:27.000 We are actually funded by viewers like you.

00:51:30.000 It's $89 annual.

00:51:31.000 Did you say that we have a discount now for veterans?

00:51:34.000 I need to put the code in place, but it should be there within about the next week.

00:51:37.000 We're going to have the code for the next week for veterans or active military.

00:51:41.000 You don't join up, there's no more show.

00:51:43.000 You see sponsors every now and then.

00:51:44.000 There will never be more than one per show, and these are sponsors that are basically boycott-proof.

00:51:49.000 But this is the issue.

00:51:49.000 We saw with Tucker Carlson.

00:51:50.000 Fox News said, hey, we're going with the advertisers, who, by the way, are not beholden to the audience.

00:51:56.000 You see it with Bud Light.

00:51:57.000 You see it with Miller.

00:51:58.000 They're not actually really, I guess I should say, mentally preoccupied with the idea of you, the user base, the consumer.

00:52:05.000 They say, oh, hold on a second.

00:52:05.000 It's about the dollars.

00:52:07.000 It's about the board.

00:52:07.000 It's about the shares.

00:52:09.000 And this is going to determine the direction of Twitter.

00:52:11.000 Who's more important?

00:52:12.000 The advertiser, and that's what I see which is most troubling, not just the leftist tendencies, or you, the user.

00:52:19.000 So let's kind of get through... there you go.

00:52:24.000 March 23, just to be clear.

00:52:26.000 They're appointing a new CEO for a few different reasons.

00:52:28.000 Tesla stock has been sort of waning a little bit.

00:52:30.000 It requires more attention from Elon Musk.

00:52:32.000 Part of me thinks this was a billionaire's toy train set, and he sort of got bored of it.

00:52:36.000 Now, the revenue at Twitter, and this is the difference between the revenue versus people using Twitter, the revenue at Twitter fell about 50%.

00:52:43.000 Because of a massive decline in ad revenue, just to be clear.

00:52:46.000 Now that is because a lot of woke companies have said, we're not going to advertise on Twitter.

00:52:51.000 Now that doesn't necessarily correlate with the success of Twitter as a platform, which was its original intent, right, to be a place where people could communicate, because Musk has actually talked about this.

00:53:01.000 New Twitter signups have been at an all-time high.

00:53:04.000 Right?

00:53:04.000 They were up 66% per day from 2021 to 2022, from November 21 to 22.

00:53:10.000 It's a legit hockey stick graph.

00:53:12.000 Yeah, 66% per day.

00:53:14.000 Now, we don't have the full numbers on the interactions, the daily traffic, but the point is, the 50% decline in advertising.

00:53:21.000 Does not match the intent of Twitter, which is to be an open form.

00:53:26.000 So if advertisers are saying, yeah, hold on a second, we don't want to advertise in a place that's an open form of ideas that doesn't censor people and encourages freedom of speech.

00:53:33.000 Well, now you have a decision to make.

00:53:35.000 Tell the advertisers to go screw themselves, kind of like us with Google, with YouTube.

00:53:40.000 The only time you ever see random ads if you're watching on YouTube is because someone else has claimed our content, right?

00:53:44.000 The Google AdSense, we don't make a dollar.

00:53:47.000 We decided that we would not be beholden to YouTube, Alphabet, Facebook.

00:53:51.000 Right?

00:53:52.000 Instagram, at one point, Twitter.

00:53:53.000 And some people decide that that's the business model they want, just on the left and on the right.

00:53:58.000 What matters to us is you.

00:54:00.000 And Twitter has a fork in the road.

00:54:02.000 Is it you, the user who has determined its direction, and I would say in a largely positive way, or is it the corporations who've decided to cut bait and run?

00:54:11.000 Absolutely.

00:54:11.000 And by the way, some of those ad dollars will come back because a lot of people right now have been talking about how effective advertising is, especially conservatives that we've talked to have said, Hey, advertising is actually pretty effective right now on Twitter.

00:54:22.000 They're actually doing a good job of making some of those corrections, but this is, I think, a misstep by Elon.

00:54:28.000 So we'll get into some of the details why, but you'll see very quickly how this can go off the rails.

00:54:32.000 Well, they'll come back because of the growing subscriber base.

00:54:35.000 That's where eyeballs are. 0.99

00:54:36.000 That's right.

00:54:37.000 Yeah, and eventually their morals won't matter to them because they never did in the first place.

00:54:41.000 Yes, their morals, I mean their sacrifices to Moloch. 0.60

00:54:46.000 Prior to being named Twitter's new CEO, Yacarino, let's give you a little bit of a profile here.

00:54:51.000 She was the Chairman of Global Advertising and Partnerships at NBCUniversal.

00:54:54.000 By the way, we've had a few run-ins with NBCUniversal ourselves.

00:54:57.000 I was about to say, that conservative bastion.

00:55:00.000 Yes.

00:55:01.000 And according to the Wall Street Journal, Ms. 0.91

00:55:03.000 Iaccarino has a reputation for hard-nosed negotiating tactics, and media buyers have described her as, quote, the Velvet Hammer. 1.00

00:55:10.000 Velvet Hammer, which I actually think was Paul Pelosi's nickname at the nudist colony in Sausalito.

00:55:14.000 So it seems like it all comes back to you.

00:55:18.000 A little name tag there on the hair.

00:55:20.000 And they're going to switch the name of Twitter to Bud Light, so... Why are people on the right concerned?

00:55:28.000 All right, well, there are a few reasons.

00:55:30.000 So here's a major complaint that I would say is valid.

00:55:32.000 It's kind of a big one.

00:55:33.000 Yeah, yeah, kind of a big, kind of a biggie.

00:55:36.000 Yaccarino serves as the Executive Chairman for the Task Force on Future of Work at the World Economic Forum.

00:55:44.000 Whoops.

00:55:45.000 Which people do, uh, typically speaking, when it comes to economic forums.

00:55:48.000 I don't like the world one.

00:55:50.000 No, no, no, no.

00:55:50.000 Is that the Klaus Schwab economic world?

00:55:53.000 Yes.

00:55:55.000 Oh yeah.

00:55:56.000 Not a big fan, but that's just, and all the references by the way, will be made publicly available.

00:56:02.000 That one is, uh, her LinkedIn.

00:56:03.000 So, you know, you can question that if you want, but, uh, maybe she's just lying.

00:56:07.000 It's not honorary, it's active.

00:56:09.000 I mean, I padded my resume when I was a kid.

00:56:11.000 Yeah.

00:56:11.000 You didn't put World Economic Forum on it.

00:56:13.000 I got to work at the French-Canadian version of Nordstrom's, and they said, you've worked in retail before?

00:56:16.000 And I said, mm-hmm.

00:56:19.000 And they said, oui.

00:56:21.000 Oui.

00:56:21.000 Yes.

00:56:22.000 I said, bang, right.

00:56:22.000 So Casey Forgotten, the World Economic Forum, they're the ones responsible for this.

00:56:27.000 What they viewed as a positive, I guess, sort of, I don't know if it's an advertisement, but they put this out there, this is their dystopian vision for for the future.

00:56:56.000 Does nobody own anything?

00:56:59.000 Oh no, wait.

00:57:00.000 Eventually someone owns something.

00:57:02.000 You want it consolidated to a few mega powers, namely government and the corporations they deem too big to fail.

00:57:08.000 It's the elites.

00:57:09.000 They get to own everything.

00:57:11.000 And you'll rent everything.

00:57:12.000 Yes, because you don't need to own stuff.

00:57:13.000 You'll be happier.

00:57:14.000 Trust us.

00:57:15.000 You'll be happier.

00:57:15.000 Less stress.

00:57:17.000 Yes, the stress of choice.

00:57:19.000 Now listen, I like the drone delivery component of that, but that is all.

00:57:23.000 I don't like the drone delivery component.

00:57:24.000 I do.

00:57:24.000 I don't at all.

00:57:25.000 I get ice cream delivered every once in a while.

00:57:26.000 I love the shotgun practice.

00:57:27.000 Kids love it.

00:57:28.000 You really do?

00:57:29.000 Yes.

00:57:30.000 It's a test service.

00:57:31.000 We need to admonish Gerald.

00:57:33.000 Gerald, stop with the drone service.

00:57:34.000 Okay?

00:57:35.000 It's unnecessary.

00:57:35.000 It's fun.

00:57:36.000 Guys, I'm gay.

00:57:37.000 I am not.

00:57:37.000 It's a different way of getting it to your port.

00:57:39.000 I mean, there's nothing special. 1.00

00:57:41.000 It's stupid. 1.00

00:57:42.000 Kids like it. 1.00

00:57:43.000 But it's cool.

00:57:43.000 Well, you're an adult.

00:57:45.000 You're an adult, man.

00:57:46.000 I didn't say... Yacarino, by the way, also led an ad council.

00:57:54.000 And this ad council, they had a campaign featuring the Pope.

00:57:58.000 And by the way, when I'm looking to take COVID vaccine advice, I look to the Pope.

00:58:06.000 Thank God and the work of many.

00:58:08.000 Today we have vaccines to protect us.

00:58:11.000 Looks like he said one too many vaccines.

00:58:13.000 They bring hope to end the pandemic.

00:58:16.000 But only if they are available to everyone.

00:58:20.000 Still waiting for that statement on the uh, the kid sex.

00:58:24.000 Now, the Pope was wrong.

00:58:26.000 What about the infallibility, Gerald?

00:58:27.000 Your thoughts?

00:58:29.000 It's only when speaking on issues of spirituality and only when speaking at Cathedral because that's somewhere in the back of the Bible.

00:58:34.000 Somewhere in the back.

00:58:35.000 What about the two Popes that were competing or the Popes that were purchased?

00:58:39.000 Look, and by the way, I know that a lot of Catholics out there obviously don't like the current Pope, just to be clear.

00:58:44.000 But at a certain point, you have to say, when the Pope is wrong about almost everything else, and I know what you're going to say, this is a media hitch-up.

00:58:49.000 No, no, no, no, it's not.

00:58:50.000 No, it's not.

00:58:50.000 He's been wrong about nearly everything else.

00:58:53.000 Why would he be right on solely issues of spirituality when speaking ex cathedra?

00:58:58.000 If you don't trust him on anything else, if you don't trust him on international recommendations, you don't trust him on tax policy, you don't trust him on issues as it relates to cultural Marxism, you don't trust him on issues as it relates to vaccines, okay, so we're supposed to believe that he can't even get something right accidentally?

00:59:15.000 Outside of speaking on issues of spiritual, kind of the most important issues, and only when speaking in this limited capacity?

00:59:20.000 I'm sorry, look, I, I, again, we have a lot of, we have a lot of Catholics who work here, but we also have Catholics who work here, like, Kevin's basically, uh, an Eastern, Square Bearer's basically Eastern Orthodox, only he still has to claim that he's Catholic, because he does not like this Pope.

00:59:31.000 I'm like, well, you can't just say the Pope is full of it!

00:59:36.000 It's got to be a tough, so my heart goes out to you, it's got to be a tough place to be right now when this guy is the Pope.

00:59:40.000 And not all Popes have been that way.

00:59:42.000 No, it's true.

00:59:43.000 This is a significant veering.

00:59:45.000 I don't know enough about Ratzinger.

00:59:46.000 I know he was German.

00:59:48.000 That's about all you need to know.

00:59:49.000 Now, this broad, I keep forgetting her, Yacarino. 0.88

00:59:54.000 Yeah, Karina, she's always yakking us, bro.

00:59:56.000 She was also a huge proponent of masking in 2021.

01:00:00.000 We are here to talk about masking up or packing up.

01:00:05.000 I promise you, we're doing good so far.

01:00:08.000 Just keep your distance, get your hands washed often, get tested often, and wear your mask.

01:00:16.000 That'll get us closer and closer to normal days.

01:00:20.000 Just to be clear, mask up or pack up means you better wear a mask or you're going to be fired.

01:00:24.000 Yes, there you go.

01:00:26.000 Get your hands washed.

01:00:27.000 Yeah, depending on when that was released in 2021, that matters.

01:00:29.000 Beginning of 2021.

01:00:33.000 Less offensive.

01:00:34.000 But I'm sorry, I don't know that I give people a whole lot of a pass here, because at the end of 2020, we were starting to go, eh, this is really widespread, opening should be happening again.

01:00:43.000 Oh, we were back to normal here.

01:00:44.000 Yeah, we were in the great state of Texas, but a lot of other places were not.

01:00:48.000 But 21?

01:00:49.000 I still see a lot of people with masks out in public.

01:00:51.000 Hey, that's a question for you guys.

01:00:52.000 You still see people with masks, and how do you, how do you, how do you converse with them?

01:00:56.000 I just always, I always say, ah, thanks for keeping me safe if you're sick.

01:01:01.000 There you go.

01:01:02.000 They say, I'm not sick.

01:01:03.000 I go, then why are you wearing a mask?

01:01:05.000 Now there is science to show that if you are sick, that wearing a mask can probably help because again, it's right up against your filthy grill to help prevent the spread of droplets.

01:01:14.000 There's some science.

01:01:14.000 Yes, there is some science there, but again, not if it's being reused and not if it's not properly fitted, but it does not help you at all.

01:01:21.000 The science is quite settled.

01:01:22.000 It does not help you Avoid getting COVID, or in this case, the flu.

01:01:27.000 So when I see people with a mask, I go, oh, feeling sick?

01:01:30.000 And if they say no, I just go, ha ha!

01:01:34.000 I look at them with horror on my face, like they're about to knock over the Kroger.

01:01:37.000 I saw a guy the other day with a bandana on his face, walking around.

01:01:42.000 That was a member of MS-13.

01:01:43.000 I was going to say Crips, but that's better.

01:01:45.000 You have to go by the face tattoos sometimes.

01:01:48.000 Teardrops. 0.84

01:01:48.000 Yes. 0.84

01:01:48.000 Yeah, neck tattoos. 0.84

01:01:50.000 So, pack up or mask up?

01:01:52.000 That means I'll fire you if you don't mask.

01:01:54.000 And by the way, she's also used her platform.

01:01:56.000 This is what's most disturbing to me.

01:01:58.000 And then I'll get to her censorship stances to push for the, you know, we use the term DEI, it's diversity, equity, inclusion agendas. 0.84

01:02:04.000 Now listen to the numbers at the end of this clip, and they just aren't even feasible.

01:02:10.000 Under the leadership of Brian Roberts and Jeff Schell, Comcast set up a fund to the value of $100 million to fight social justice and equality, and obviously supporting many, many important groups.

01:02:27.000 So then we had to make sure we were taking the right steps to direct funds towards the right organizations, to make a public statement of accountability, like Cesar Conde, our new chairman of news, who made a public statement That was confronting editorial bias and saying, my division, our news division, the biggest news division in the country is going to be 50% women and 50% people of color.

01:02:54.000 Yeah, also 50% women, was she talking about brewing? 1.00

01:02:59.000 And 50% people of color.

01:03:01.000 Okay, so you're going to have to draw 50%—by the way, that's 100%. 0.99

01:03:04.000 If she meant 50% both women and people of color, that's a stupid statement either way. 0.99

01:03:09.000 The math doesn't make sense. 0.98

01:03:11.000 12% of the population, if we're talking about the United States, are going to make up 50% of people in a very—a hyperly specialized field of work in the news division?

01:03:19.000 And by the way, that won't even be representative of the American populace at large.

01:03:23.000 No, and she didn't say what color.

01:03:25.000 She just said people of color.

01:03:26.000 Oh, okay.

01:03:27.000 That can include anybody.

01:03:28.000 But in that 12% are men, elderly, children.

01:03:32.000 Right.

01:03:32.000 So that number is 4%.

01:03:34.000 That's also fair.

01:03:35.000 But that shouldn't be the way that you try to structure an organization anyway.

01:03:38.000 She wants to have a news division of entirely black children. 1.00

01:03:42.000 You know what I want?

01:03:43.000 I want to make sure that it's a level playing field and that the best people end up getting the jobs.

01:03:49.000 There you go.

01:03:49.000 Well, in her defense, I think she was confused.

01:03:51.000 She thought W-E-F was W-W-E.

01:03:54.000 Did you see that belt over her shoulder? 0.99

01:03:55.000 I think that was a Wonder Woman belt.

01:03:57.000 Okay.

01:03:58.000 She's a moral!

01:03:59.000 Was that in that clip?

01:04:00.000 Go back to that.

01:04:00.000 Is it this clip?

01:04:01.000 Let me see.

01:04:02.000 The belt over her shoulder?

01:04:03.000 Amongst all the awards.

01:04:05.000 That's the Intercontinental Champion. 0.93

01:04:06.000 Oh yeah, that is!

01:04:08.000 That's the Intercontinental Championship right there.

01:04:10.000 I just set him up.

01:04:11.000 about the world economic forum, the cream's gonna rise to the top.

01:04:15.000 Yeah. 0.98

01:04:17.000 Yeccarino is Italian for one who won't shut the fuck up, yeah. 0.96

01:04:22.000 I just set him up. 0.98

01:04:23.000 That's what I do.

01:04:24.000 Wind him up.

01:04:26.000 A little Ultimate Warrior action.

01:04:29.000 I'm Yakarito!

01:04:30.000 Welcome to Wild World!

01:04:31.000 WHERE NIGHTMARES ARE THE BEST PART OF MY DAY!

01:04:40.000 At the end of that though, she did do a little...

01:04:43.000 She has the Hogan stash bleaching.

01:04:45.000 It doesn't work, sweetheart.

01:04:46.000 But really, she has no worldview.

01:04:48.000 She has no values.

01:04:49.000 You can tell. 1.00

01:04:50.000 Dennis Miller says, someone of that age, you've lived an asshole's life. 1.00

01:04:53.000 You haven't thought about such things. 1.00

01:04:55.000 She just floats from one side to the other. 0.73

01:04:57.000 She doesn't care.

01:04:58.000 Now she's working for Twitter.

01:04:59.000 She'll develop some worldview that'll be comfortable for her there.

01:05:01.000 I mean, unbelievable how she's... Although she does seem to have a worldview, which this is very disconcerting, on the idea of freedom of speech.

01:05:07.000 And this goes to the point that we made earlier.

01:05:10.000 Do you understand there's a huge gap and a difference between the advertisers, the woke corporations with the ESG scores, and you, the viewer, the user.

01:05:21.000 And I really was happy.

01:05:22.000 By the way, some people were reaching out going like, oh, if Twitter's going to do streaming, is that bad for Rumble?

01:05:27.000 No, I want to see, for example, let's say Tucker Carlson is streaming on Twitter.

01:05:31.000 He may or may not end up streaming on Rumble.

01:05:33.000 I want him to do well, and I want Twitter to do well, and I want Rumble to do well.

01:05:36.000 I want everyone to do well, not named YouTube, Facebook, TikTok.

01:05:41.000 Just to be clear, there need to be viable alternatives.

01:05:43.000 We lived through the dark ages where everyone said, well, you just have to go to YouTube and now the vast majority of you watch on Rumble or on Mug Club.

01:05:50.000 That, to me, and by the way, we were willing to take a 50% haircut on viewership in migrating everyone over from YouTube.

01:05:58.000 Instead, You guys increased!

01:06:00.000 That shows how ready you were for an exodus.

01:06:03.000 So I want all these places to do well.

01:06:05.000 Little concern to the direction of Twitter, though, because here is this woman discussing her views on free speech, and again, she talks about not the user, not what you, the people, want, what the giant advertising corporations want.

01:06:21.000 If I were to say, yes, you can influence me, that would be wrong.

01:06:25.000 That would be very wrong.

01:06:27.000 Because that would be a diminishment of freedom of speech.

01:06:29.000 But I want to be specific about influencing.

01:06:32.000 It's more of an open feedback loop for the advertising experts in this room to help develop

01:06:42.000 Twitter into a place where they will be excited about investing more money.

01:06:47.000 Product development, ad safety, content moderation.

01:06:51.000 Yeah, because that's how you're going to create the best platform, is with a group of advertising executives deciding to sanitize it and shape it in the image of what they would like to see.

01:07:04.000 A bunch of multi-millionaires in a room at a board meeting.

01:07:07.000 That's what's going to make Twitter the cool place that kids want to go?

01:07:10.000 A pharmaceutical company.

01:07:11.000 I'm sure what they want is what the Pope said and what her policy was at NBCUniversal.

01:07:16.000 Yes, exactly.

01:07:17.000 I want a Johnson & Johnson social media site.

01:07:22.000 That's actually making the hairs on the back of my neck stand up because Elon Musk was right.

01:07:26.000 If I allow you to influence me, that would be wrong.

01:07:30.000 Because then that would diminish freedom of speech, which is what I'm all about.

01:07:33.000 And she's like, well hold on, don't think about it like that.

01:07:36.000 And then she describes the diminishment of freedom of speech.

01:07:41.000 In a different way and says it's okay.

01:07:43.000 Yes.

01:07:43.000 Like, that's the part where I'm like, she does get it.

01:07:46.000 Right.

01:07:47.000 She understands exactly what she's saying.

01:07:49.000 Content moderation for ad friendly.

01:07:51.000 Make it into a place they feel comfortable.

01:07:53.000 They have the power.

01:07:55.000 Yes.

01:07:55.000 Not you.

01:07:56.000 And by the way, when it's only a few companies, just to give you some inside baseball here.

01:07:59.000 Matter of fact, we can, you know, we can include on Mug Club why the left is upset.

01:08:02.000 Yeah.

01:08:02.000 Just to give you a little bit of inside baseball.

01:08:05.000 First, let me go to the difference between the Turkish government, Twitter, and Rumble.

01:08:10.000 But I think this is pretty important.

01:08:11.000 This is what we lived through with YouTube, by the way.

01:08:13.000 And this is why I am so vehement in the fact that the right needs to be, they need to divest.

01:08:19.000 They need to uncouple from big tech companies.

01:08:21.000 And I don't care how you do it.

01:08:23.000 When you have let's say five companies five companies basically are in charge of all media, right?

01:08:27.000 You have NBC Universal you have ABC Disney you have Comcast Viacom

01:08:33.000 News Corp, let's call it five six seven companies Okay, and then they are trying to get into your news feed

01:08:39.000 into your whatever your algorithmic feed now It's not even a news feed on Facebook on YouTube. Guess

01:08:44.000 what? They spend the advertising dollars So now you have a platform that is beholden to five or six

01:08:49.000 companies who by the way have regular meetings in a room with each other.

01:08:53.000 It doesn't require a crazy conspiracy theory to say, hold on a second, it seems like these companies may be in cahoots if they all removed Alex Jones the same day.

01:09:02.000 So then these people dictate the advertising.

01:09:04.000 Remember, we had a conversation with CEOs.

01:09:06.000 I should say, sorry, executives at YouTube.

01:09:10.000 And they said, well, you know, there's no community guidelines, but strikes.

01:09:16.000 And we would say, oh, you're not advertiser friendly, but we're creating this new rule, borderline content.

01:09:20.000 I said, hold on a second, you are talking to an advertiser on YouTube.

01:09:23.000 I said, what?

01:09:23.000 I said, it's one of the only places that I spend money to advertise our channel.

01:09:26.000 Hey, subscribe to my channel.

01:09:26.000 I said, and I can't actually target or reach people who I would like to reach.

01:09:30.000 For example, I would like to reach people who are interested in the Second Amendment.

01:09:33.000 And by the way, I would like to be able to determine who advertises on my channel.

01:09:36.000 I said, would this be a solution to YouTube?

01:09:38.000 They said, not advertiser friendly.

01:09:39.000 I said, well, what about a firearm company?

01:09:41.000 Well, we can't do that.

01:09:42.000 Okay, well, what about companies that might sell firearm accessories?

01:09:45.000 No.

01:09:46.000 Okay, what about companies that may be, for example, particularly freedom-minded?

01:09:49.000 Well, those companies don't exist.

01:09:50.000 Hold on a second.

01:09:51.000 How about you create a solution where you pair my channel with companies who would actually pay a premium to advertise in that 18 to 45 demo and recognize that these people are more conservative?

01:10:01.000 We've ended up doing that with sponsors who, by the way, never leave.

01:10:05.000 Because of your purchasing power.

01:10:07.000 YouTube said, well, that's not really how it works.

01:10:09.000 What does that mean? 0.94

01:10:10.000 It means the advertising is algorithmic and it is determined by a handful of companies, all of whom are beholden to places like the WEF and international conglomerates and the ESG score and woke bullshit.

01:10:22.000 They're not interested in actually pairing advertisers with the right users.

01:10:27.000 They want to manipulate and engineer the behavior of the users.

01:10:31.000 And that's why I have a problem when conservatives say, well, If you can't beat them, join them.

01:10:36.000 No, no, no.

01:10:37.000 If you can't beat them, try harder and make them wish they picked somebody else.

01:10:41.000 I've been on both sides of advertising and receiving advertising dollars.

01:10:45.000 Now, we have not received advertising dollars on YouTube or any major social media outlet for, is it four?

01:10:50.000 Is it five years now?

01:10:52.000 I know how it works.

01:10:53.000 It's a rigged game.

01:10:54.000 And so when someone is saying the people who are rigging the game need to be granted more power, that's a problem.

01:11:00.000 And it's very clear with this lady's language that that's what she's interested in doing. 0.99

01:11:05.000 And also, just to be clear, there's another misstep with Twitter that I'm concerned with. 1.00

01:11:08.000 Son of a bitch. 0.99

01:11:12.000 I completely forgot about that one. 1.00

01:11:14.000 Good for you, Tim.

01:11:15.000 He didn't.

01:11:16.000 He drank his coffee this morning.

01:11:18.000 So at the behest of the Turkish government, and I think Elon has largely been a positive

01:11:23.000 force certainly for Twitter, but Twitter agreed to restrict access to some tweets from the

01:11:28.000 Turkish government at their request during the presidential election.

01:11:33.000 And this is actually a quote responding to online criticism from Matt Iglesias.

01:11:36.000 Musk tweeted, did your brain fall out of your head, Iglesias?

01:11:39.000 The choice is have Twitter throttled in its entirety or limit access to some tweets.

01:11:44.000 Which one do you want?

01:11:46.000 Now, this is important because we have a direct contrast.

01:11:49.000 And again, I would love to see Twitter do well, and I would love to see Rumble do well.

01:11:52.000 But people are asked, you want to know why we partnered with Rumble?

01:11:55.000 And you want to know what excites me with Rumble?

01:11:57.000 If you have kids, they should leave, OK?

01:11:58.000 Because I'm just going to... It's like Donald Trump is this with the vote.

01:12:02.000 It's the fuck you platform. 1.00

01:12:05.000 So when Elon Musk says, he's basically saying, I WAS JUST DOING MY JOB! 1.00

01:12:09.000 YOU SAID YOU WOULD KILL ME LESS! 1.00

01:12:10.000 The last one says, were you stupid? 1.00

01:12:12.000 Did your brain fall out of your head, Iglesias? 1.00

01:12:13.000 The choice is to have Twitter throttle in its entirety or limit access to some tweets.

01:12:18.000 Which one do you want?

01:12:19.000 Rumble had that exact same scenario.

01:12:21.000 They were demanded by France to remove Russia Today as a channel or any of its content from

01:12:26.000 their platform and they said, okay, well then you're just going to have to remove Rumble

01:12:31.000 They issued a statement saying, recently, the French government demanded that we remove certain Russian news sources from Rumble.

01:12:38.000 As part of our mission to restore a free and open internet, we have committed not to move the goalposts on our content policies.

01:12:45.000 So one response from Elon Musk, what would you have us do?

01:12:49.000 Exactly what Rumble did, Rumble said, alright, the French government How about that, okay?

01:12:54.000 How about, I'm sorry, this and this?

01:12:58.000 That's what Rumble said.

01:13:00.000 And, as a consequence, Rumble was banned, at least for a period of time.

01:13:03.000 I don't know if they still are.

01:13:05.000 In all of France, you cannot set the precedent.

01:13:09.000 Do you have any idea what that's going, you're countering to the Turkish government, what's going to happen with China?

01:13:14.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:13:15.000 By the way, this is during an election season.

01:13:17.000 You don't do what the government wants you to do in a tight election.

01:13:20.000 It means censoring certain points of view just because you think a little bit of Twitter is better.

01:13:26.000 No, it's not.

01:13:26.000 You know why?

01:13:27.000 A little bit of Twitter makes you think that there is honesty.

01:13:30.000 Right.

01:13:30.000 If you've got Twitter still there, you're thinking, okay, well, Twitter's still the free speech platform.

01:13:34.000 I didn't hear the story about them banning a couple of accounts or maybe these dozens of tweets.

01:13:38.000 Maybe I didn't hear all that, and I think I'm getting the full truth, but I'm not.

01:13:42.000 It's where we are today.

01:13:43.000 It is the blueprint for censorship.

01:13:47.000 Golly, did I have a stroke today?

01:13:48.000 Joe Biden?

01:13:48.000 You maybe did.

01:13:49.000 I don't know, man.

01:13:49.000 I just think you should have some Twitter.

01:13:51.000 Yeah, I think you should have some Twitter.

01:13:52.000 What are we doing?

01:13:53.000 And Texas is bigger than France anyway.

01:13:55.000 They really don't matter.

01:13:57.000 It's not enough people to matter.

01:13:58.000 France?

01:13:58.000 No.

01:14:00.000 They don't make a difference.

01:14:00.000 They'll come begging for Twitter soon.

01:14:05.000 Yeah, or Rumble.

01:14:06.000 Begging for Rumble, and yeah, of course.

01:14:09.000 Look, you can't do this.

01:14:10.000 You can't kowtow to these other governments.

01:14:11.000 And I understand what some of you are going to say, like, well, hold on a second, Russia today is partially funded by the Kremlin, Russia propaganda.

01:14:17.000 Okay, sure.

01:14:17.000 But again, the point of view from Rumble is also anti-Russia today channels are allowed on Rumble.

01:14:25.000 Right.

01:14:26.000 It's an open discourse.

01:14:27.000 What's more damaging than lies or mistruths are half-truths.

01:14:33.000 And that's what Twitter is doing with, I'm using the word correctly, being in collusion

01:14:38.000 to a degree with the Turkish government.

01:14:40.000 So it doesn't just exist in this vacuum of, well hold on, is there, no, we have precedent.

01:14:47.000 Removal told France to go screw themselves.

01:14:48.000 And Elon Musk is already starting from the point of view of, well what do you want?

01:14:53.000 Some Twitter or no Twitter?

01:14:54.000 I think as it relates to Turkey, they get no Twitter.

01:14:56.000 How about that?

01:14:57.000 You know what?

01:14:57.000 If you don't finish your dinner, you don't get your snow cone.

01:14:59.000 Okay, Turkish government, you don't allow freedom for everyone, then you get no Twitter.

01:15:03.000 That needs to happen enough where these governments then understand, hold on a second, we can't just keep, we can't just keep calling the shots.

01:15:09.000 Do you have any idea how many tweets that I have, or did for a long time, that are not available in Germany because it's in violation of German speech laws?

01:15:15.000 Or Pakistan. 0.91

01:15:16.000 Oh, Pakistan. 1.00

01:15:18.000 I just think Pakistan should have no Steven Crowder Twitter. 1.00

01:15:21.000 You can follow me at S. Crowder.

01:15:22.000 Let me know if in Pakistan you get any of it.

01:15:23.000 I would be very surprised.

01:15:25.000 But basically, look, if Twitter had taken a stand.

01:15:27.000 Elon, look, this is the playbook.

01:15:29.000 If you take a stand in Turkey and say, no, we're not self-censoring, either the government backs down and you win, free speech wins, or you get banned and the people see it in broad daylight that their government is banning speech and maybe that leads to change in the government.

01:15:46.000 Not the appeasement strategy that you just put in play.

01:15:48.000 That's good.

01:15:49.000 That's absolutely right.

01:15:50.000 And I think that combined with the fact that this woman is very clearly more interested in creating Twitter and social media platforms and the new world, because let's be honest, that's where people often live. 0.97

01:15:58.000 That's where people exchange information.

01:15:59.000 It's a digital town square.

01:16:00.000 She wants to rebuild that in the image of what advertisers want as opposed to what you, the user, the viewer wants.

01:16:08.000 You are True North.

01:16:10.000 You are true north.

01:16:10.000 The moment that you say, you know what, we're done, A. I'll go retire and I'll go do something else.

01:16:14.000 We've talked about this.

01:16:16.000 Half the stuff that you see here was pitched at some point when I was at Fox News, or at any of the networks, and now that's never going to work.

01:16:24.000 You have decided to make it work because you are true north.

01:16:26.000 And I think that's why this show is very different, and that's why we're really happy to be in a partnership with Rumble, and I hope that Twitter gets their shit together, and I hope that there's healthy competition.

01:16:33.000 But right now, as it relates to Yakarino, I'm not seeing it. 0.52

01:16:36.000 We're going to continue this, by the way, on Mug Club.

01:17:19.000 YouTube, not thank you, but Rumble thank you.

01:17:22.000 YouTube piss off powered by Rumble.
