Louder with Crowder - Everyone Hates Gov. Whitmer (D-MI) | #9 Good Morning MugClub

00:00:00.000 Not until I've had my second cup of coffee, said the unfunny mom on Pinterest.

00:00:18.000 That's not how memes are used!

00:00:19.000 Take that, moms. 0.99

00:00:22.000 Everyone's always jockeying for positions with the moms. 1.00

00:00:26.000 They are.

00:00:27.000 Like, oh, we hope the moms tune in. 1.00

00:00:29.000 I hope you never watch this show. 0.77

00:00:30.000 The most caffeine addicted or the most alcoholic mom, I think.

00:00:34.000 The most statistically likely to be abusive toward their children.

00:00:36.000 Right, yeah.

00:00:37.000 I do like the accusation that men are just the only ones that are hyper-competitive and then you get on Pinterest and you're like, you get on Facebook or Pinterest and all that distressed wood sign on your wall.

00:00:45.000 Well, men are hyper-competitive about things that matter.

00:00:49.000 Women are hyper complaining. 1.00

00:00:50.000 You see those shorts?

00:00:51.000 Oh, dang.

00:00:52.000 Boom! 0.99

00:00:53.000 Coming out fighting, baby.

00:00:54.000 Hey, by the way, I didn't introduce you guys yet.

00:00:56.000 It's good morning Mug Club, by the way.

00:00:58.000 Hashtag Mug Club quarantine is the hashtag.

00:01:00.000 Yes, it is.

00:01:01.000 Of course, the promo code is quarantine.

00:01:03.000 You get $30 off.

00:01:04.000 I'm going to give a little bit of echo.

00:01:05.000 Where's the snap?

00:01:07.000 I don't got no snare in my headphones.

00:01:08.000 I don't know.

00:01:08.000 I'm getting a little bit of weird echo.

00:01:09.000 Does everyone else sound good?

00:01:10.000 You sound great, mate.

00:01:11.000 We're flying without a net!

00:01:12.000 We'll be taking your chat today.

00:01:14.000 Who needs nets? 1.00

00:01:15.000 Especially when you're flying.

00:01:16.000 Nothing but net is a phrase that women are unfamiliar with because they don't compete in the arena of sports well. 1.00

00:01:24.000 Well, I said.

00:01:25.000 That's two Jebs. 1.00

00:01:26.000 Well.

00:01:27.000 Well.

00:01:28.000 He's on a roll.

00:01:29.000 Quarantine is the promo code $30 off, and of course we're giving everything away for free this month, and we're only two weeks in.

00:01:36.000 I only looked at a schedule last, and then I spilled water all over myself here.

00:01:42.000 Did you?

00:01:43.000 Yeah.

00:01:43.000 That's why we don't give you four cups of water.

00:01:44.000 We have Brian Cowan on the show today.

00:01:45.000 That's a big deal.

00:01:46.000 We'll be talking about quite a bit.

00:01:47.000 We'll be talking about Michigan.

00:01:49.000 We will also get into what I think is the funniest thing I've ever seen.

00:01:53.000 Really?

00:01:53.000 And I'm going to try and not laugh.

00:01:54.000 I'll get to that in a second.

00:01:56.000 Anything else?

00:01:57.000 What else do we have?

00:01:57.000 livewithcrowder.com slash schedule for all of the scheduled content.

00:02:00.000 We have a live stream next Tuesday with a press briefing because we want to do the job that the media does not do.

00:02:05.000 Somebody's got to pick up the slack.

00:02:07.000 And I don't know what else.

00:02:08.000 Is there something that I'm missing?

00:02:09.000 I feel like I just keep getting plugs that are added that I need to make sure that I hit.

00:02:13.000 I think you've hit just about.

00:02:14.000 Maybe Crowder Bits.

00:02:15.000 Did you plug that?

00:02:16.000 Oh, that's right. 0.99

00:02:17.000 Audio Wade is half gay. 0.99

00:02:19.000 Oh, yeah. 0.99

00:02:20.000 We were playing gay chicken, like Rebel Without a Cause before the show. 0.83

00:02:24.000 He just went all the way through it because he thought it proved his masculinity. 0.98

00:02:27.000 It just proved he was gay. 0.97

00:02:27.000 I'm not sure. 0.97

00:02:29.000 That's weird.

00:02:30.000 I'm not going to yes-and that.

00:02:31.000 That's fine.

00:02:31.000 Sorry.

00:02:32.000 You don't have to yes-and that.

00:02:33.000 It's not an improv game.

00:02:34.000 My heart goes out to him.

00:02:36.000 If we had only known.

00:02:36.000 Right.

00:02:37.000 Because we make a lot of jokes about him.

00:02:40.000 We did not.

00:02:40.000 Behind his back.

00:02:41.000 And now it turns out that they weren't really jokes.

00:02:46.000 We will be talking about Governor Whitmer, Michigan.

00:02:48.000 He's not.

00:02:51.000 His wonderful wife is watching.

00:02:54.000 Brian Callen.

00:02:55.000 What else do we have?

00:02:56.000 But first, I guess this is making the rounds right now, this morning.

00:02:56.000 We have a COVID update.

00:03:00.000 Dr. Phil, he's trending because he talked about the need to open the economy, and I guess people are really furious.

00:03:06.000 He's trending right now on Twitter, which, let's knock that out with Mug Club Quarantine. 0.97

00:03:09.000 Let's watch.

00:03:10.000 250 people a year die from poverty, and the poverty line is getting such that more and more people are going to fall below that because the economy is crashing around us.

00:03:21.000 And they're doing that because people are dying from the coronavirus.

00:03:24.000 I get that, but look, the fact of the matter is... Alright, let's finish that clip.

00:03:27.000 I don't want to watch any more of him.

00:03:29.000 Here's the thing.

00:03:29.000 I want to see... It's kind of like Bill O'Reilly does his podcast now.

00:03:33.000 No one wants to see sad webcam Dr. Phil.

00:03:36.000 I need to work on the lighting there.

00:03:38.000 He's one of the guys, he needs to be very well produced.

00:03:41.000 And Bill O'Reilly, he needs a Jim Henson Muppeteer.

00:03:47.000 Like, him and Larry King should have the same guy.

00:03:49.000 He just, you know, does a little bit of weekend Bernie's.

00:03:52.000 There's a level of experience that comes with having done, you know, the puppeteering for Larry King.

00:03:56.000 You just can't recreate that out of nowhere.

00:03:57.000 And you would think there's a level of experience in hosting a show.

00:04:00.000 Maybe.

00:04:00.000 That where you would improve, but Larry King just bucks all the trends.

00:04:04.000 I think it's a deliberate.

00:04:05.000 He is so bad.

00:04:06.000 And I know Dave Rubin loves him and they're good friends, but like, I sit there and I just can't watch it.

00:04:10.000 It's a niche.

00:04:11.000 There's a lot of people.

00:04:11.000 Do you ever see his interview with Tom Green?

00:04:13.000 No.

00:04:14.000 Tom Green!

00:04:15.000 Freddie got fingered.

00:04:18.000 Was that a mistake?

00:04:20.000 What does that mean?

00:04:20.000 What?

00:04:22.000 No, Tom Green, you're not American.

00:04:24.000 No, I'm Canadian.

00:04:27.000 Deep.

00:04:28.000 What?

00:04:28.000 Tell me about that.

00:04:30.000 This is the iconic American host?

00:04:32.000 I don't know.

00:04:32.000 Exactly.

00:04:33.000 He just leans in and looks old at you.

00:04:36.000 Here's also my question for you guys.

00:04:37.000 We'll be taking your chat, of course, live on Blaze, only for Mug Club members. 0.97

00:04:41.000 Leave your name because the chat doesn't let you enter in a name.

00:04:44.000 Before this crisis, How much power were you afraid of the government wielding, and has that changed at all?

00:04:49.000 I'm sensing a shift in the tides now where people are going, ooh, there's a little bit of an overreach here.

00:04:54.000 Even people who before were saying, you know, you need to stay home and quarantine and not do anything and we should shut down the entire economy, now I see a lot of people going like, oh, okay.

00:05:02.000 We were maybe a little wrong about that.

00:05:04.000 When you try, when you arrest people for kissing in public, this is one thing.

00:05:07.000 If I were to get arrested or get a ticket by a police officer for kissing my wife on a park bench, I mean, I'm not, I'm not an exhibitionist. 0.98

00:05:14.000 I would just, I would just, I just, I would just have sex with my wife on the bench in front of the, it would be spite sex. 1.00

00:05:21.000 But then I think he would actually have a legal case against you. 0.99

00:05:23.000 He would, but the point is, it would be in the record books.

00:05:26.000 It would be an act of disobedience and intensely pleasurable for me.

00:05:31.000 Civil disobedience at its finest. 0.66

00:05:32.000 Sorry, Wade, about the gay thing. 0.98

00:05:33.000 I just want to make sure that AudioWay knows so it comes back in.

00:05:36.000 It doesn't feel slighted.

00:05:37.000 Well, when he gets home and his wife starts asking probing questions, he'll call you then.

00:05:42.000 Go to a public park.

00:05:44.000 Kiss her on the bench, wait for the police officer, and then make sure he has a body cam.

00:05:48.000 And then as Milton Berle told Richard Pryor, pick your spots, Ken.

00:05:52.000 Well, you focused on the half gay, I mean, half straight also.

00:05:54.000 It's like 50-50.

00:05:55.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:05:55.000 Which one are you focusing on here?

00:05:57.000 So speaking of getting a ticket in a public park, did you guys see the one where there was a runner on a beach and a cop started running up next to him and the guy just starts gradually pulling away and then kicks the afterburner?

00:06:08.000 The cop's just like, ah, hell.

00:06:10.000 There's no way I can keep up with that guy.

00:06:11.000 This is embarrassing for my power trip ridden ego.

00:06:13.000 It was awesome.

00:06:16.000 Wow.

00:06:16.000 He pulled away just enough to where the cop realized, oh, crap, I'm not going to catch him, but it was still expending energy, and then just kicked it in.

00:06:22.000 We're going to have my dad on here to tell stories, and one of the stories that he can tell famously is of my grandfather, who was named Dean, and then his son, who was also named Dean.

00:06:30.000 There's like 19 Deans.

00:06:32.000 He was smoked, he smoked, drank.

00:06:33.000 What are you looking for, audio-ed?

00:06:35.000 He's looking for Looking back like he lost his marbles in Neverland.

00:06:39.000 I did.

00:06:39.000 I lost my marbles in Neverland.

00:06:41.000 What did you drop?

00:06:42.000 Let us in on it.

00:06:42.000 I dropped a bottle of Topo Chico.

00:06:44.000 Does that mean it's flooding?

00:06:47.000 No, it was empty.

00:06:49.000 You dropped a bottle of Mexican water amidst a pandemic.

00:06:53.000 In a studio that has been critical of Mexico, it seems.

00:06:56.000 So really quick, before we go on with anything else, here is a clip.

00:06:59.000 We are going to tune back to this later in the show, and you can place your bets.

00:07:04.000 I want to see if I can hold a straight face, okay?

00:07:06.000 No laughter whatsoever.

00:07:07.000 I will say this.

00:07:08.000 I have never laughed this hard in my life.

00:07:11.000 I was watching a special with my wife, and it was one of those things that was incidental, where we were watching, you know, whatever.

00:07:16.000 The cue said, like, are you sure you want to watch this?

00:07:19.000 I'm like, eh.

00:07:20.000 It's not the Amy Schumer special.

00:07:22.000 It's Ozark 3.

00:07:23.000 There you go.

00:07:24.000 Don't make me feel bad about my decisions.

00:07:27.000 And it wasn't that.

00:07:28.000 It was Hulu.

00:07:29.000 And then there was a 2020 special on that Elizabeth Holmes.

00:07:33.000 I keep wanting to say Granholm.

00:07:34.000 That was the previous Michigan... Wait, was Elizabeth Granholm Texas?

00:07:38.000 I don't know.

00:07:39.000 I think she was Michigan governor. 0.99

00:07:40.000 I don't know.

00:07:41.000 It wasn't Texas.

00:07:41.000 No, it was definitely Michigan.

00:07:42.000 Now it's Whitmer.

00:07:44.000 And there was a 2020 special because there's a film, someone can tell me, there was a documentary on HBO about Theranos.

00:07:50.000 Do you know what it was called?

00:07:52.000 I don't recall, but I recall the documentary.

00:07:55.000 It was excellent.

00:07:55.000 Yeah, it was great.

00:07:56.000 I thought more of that.

00:07:58.000 This is going to be a 2020 special.

00:08:00.000 I used to like John Stossel.

00:08:01.000 Give me a break, you know, after TGI Friday.

00:08:04.000 And, um, instead, I was just sitting there watching it, and I forewarn you, I'm wearing disturbing pajamas in this clip, and this pops up in a special that I, I, you ever, have you ever laughed accidentally on an inward, like on a breathe-in?

00:08:19.000 Dangerous.

00:08:22.000 That's what I thought, I actually googled, can you die from laughter?

00:08:27.000 We'll tune back in.

00:08:30.000 Allegedly, you can.

00:08:31.000 It's possible?

00:08:31.000 I don't know, but it's tough to determine the cause of death.

00:08:33.000 No, they label it COVID.

00:08:35.000 Oh, they do.

00:08:36.000 Dang it.

00:08:37.000 Bill, I had that in my mind.

00:08:38.000 I was about to... No.

00:08:39.000 Not quick enough?

00:08:40.000 Not quick enough.

00:08:41.000 Not with you in the room, that's for sure.

00:08:42.000 And he's half drunk.

00:08:43.000 Yeah.

00:08:44.000 Seriously.

00:08:45.000 Can we get him fully drunk, please?

00:08:46.000 So, here's a clip of what I was laughing at at home, then we are going to play a portion of this later in the show today, just to see if it was, you know, if it was a byproduct of circumstances where I was tired, I had had a beer, maybe two, sometimes I live life on the edge.

00:09:00.000 But this is what went down last Friday.

00:09:04.000 Here you go.

00:09:05.000 And I'm not going to listen or watch.

00:09:11.000 The opportunity is altruistic.

00:09:13.000 potentially humankind changing. So to be clear, now I can put the context, it was just that they were

00:09:40.000 interviewing people, you know, this is John from Theranos and this is so-and-so from Esquire

00:09:44.000 magazine. I'm like, this is Angie Areola who helped design the iPhone and it's what I can

00:09:49.000 only describe, I didn't watch this now because I didn't want to ruin it again, ruin it for later,

00:09:53.000 as a guess who character.

00:09:56.000 With male pattern baldness, a half-gray perm, day madnet glasses, clown makeup, and in the first shot looks like an amputee.

00:10:05.000 And he's just like, you know, Elizabeth Holmes, I knew something was going on.

00:10:11.000 And they move on back to like Sal from Hoboken.

00:10:16.000 Everything is... I don't know if they assumed everyone in America wasn't going to catch that.

00:10:19.000 Like, wait, hold on a second.

00:10:20.000 You mean the Guess Who character with the half-grey perm and the Daymen the glasses?

00:10:24.000 Named. 0.98

00:10:25.000 And I think someone in the editing bay must have been like, you gotta be shitting me. 0.95

00:10:29.000 But they figured it's so important that we have to thrust this as normal.

00:10:32.000 There are people like Blaire White, where you would say she. 1.00

00:10:36.000 I use she because if I saw Blaire White in public, I'd be like, oh yeah, that lady over there. 1.00

00:10:39.000 Then there's the barely passable.

00:10:41.000 And then there's Angie Nipple, by the way.

00:10:44.000 The name of the areola is Nipple.

00:10:47.000 And they never address them.

00:10:49.000 It's been such a weird month, I had to check my calendar.

00:10:52.000 It's not April 1st.

00:10:54.000 Right.

00:10:54.000 This is a real thing.

00:10:55.000 Hey, it's possible they filmed it on April 1st and Angie is at home laughing.

00:11:00.000 The greatest guess who troll of all time.

00:11:04.000 I'm excited.

00:11:06.000 Does your character have a half gray perm and hormone replacement therapy?

00:11:10.000 I win!

00:11:11.000 It's not like anybody's in this.

00:11:14.000 Okay, so I want to take some bets here.

00:11:16.000 I think I think Steven dies when he watches it later.

00:11:19.000 I don't know.

00:11:20.000 $5 says he chokes to death on his laughter.

00:11:22.000 I don't know.

00:11:23.000 It's tough.

00:11:24.000 I'll do my best to try and keep a straight face.

00:11:26.000 Someone thinks he's not going to die.

00:11:27.000 I don't think he's going to die.

00:11:28.000 I'm assaulted.

00:11:30.000 I think he will still be alive at the end of this show.

00:11:33.000 I don't know. 0.89

00:11:33.000 I'll do away to hate you. 0.89

00:11:35.000 But we will do it after.

00:11:36.000 That's a hate crime.

00:11:38.000 It's a half hate crime.

00:11:39.000 Bill, the gun is closest to you, so I guess you can affect this bet.

00:11:42.000 We're very careful about that.

00:11:44.000 Also, before we move on to talking about government overreach here, I will be giving away a stimulus check, because I don't need it.

00:11:53.000 Is it $1,200?

00:11:53.000 I think it depends, but it's $1,200.

00:11:55.000 So, just what you need to do is follow me at, I think, ladderwithcrowder on Instagram, because someone else has stevencrowder on Instagram.

00:12:01.000 Yeah, they stole it.

00:12:02.000 And I'll be announcing the rules, where one of you will just receive the check, because I don't need it, and that's because you guys have supported us here, so we give back with content and cash money.

00:12:12.000 It's very nice of you.

00:12:13.000 Making it rain.

00:12:13.000 I don't even know what this means.

00:12:15.000 Well, I know what that means, but I don't know how this... Who ever actually does this for money outside of Floyd Mayweather?

00:12:20.000 It's very inefficient.

00:12:22.000 Have you ever gone... Because it actually knocks the whole stack out of your hand.

00:12:25.000 I've tried this a few times.

00:12:26.000 Yeah, I was gonna say, have you ever paid at it?

00:12:28.000 Like, I've never gone to a quick trip.

00:12:30.000 And paid this way.

00:12:30.000 Yeah.

00:12:31.000 Which, by the way, is very rude.

00:12:32.000 Because at Quick Trip they allow you to use Apple or Samsung Pay.

00:12:35.000 Unlike 7-Eleven, which is much more comparable to a prison in Kandahar.

00:12:41.000 I don't know how 7-Eleven still exists.

00:12:43.000 Quick Trip, you want to sponsor this show because I live for you.

00:12:48.000 Well, I will agree with you.

00:12:49.000 You don't have to enter your PIN number at all.

00:12:51.000 I know it's redundant.

00:12:52.000 QuickTrip has it down.

00:12:53.000 At QuickTrip, you do it, you're gone.

00:12:54.000 It's COVID-friendly.

00:12:55.000 At 7-Eleven, you have to enter that.

00:12:56.000 Not only that, you have to say if you want cash back or not.

00:12:59.000 Who still does that?

00:13:00.000 I know!

00:13:01.000 And sometimes I know I don't even have any cash, and I just say cash back just to make it longer at a 7-Eleven out of spite because I don't even want to be stuck there.

00:13:08.000 Hey, look, this guy has a hairline that is all the way down to his eyebrows.

00:13:10.000 Let's see what he has to say.

00:13:11.000 How are they getting some snow?

00:13:14.000 Look at that.

00:13:18.000 Look at this coalition of people that say, oh, when they bump into each other.

00:13:25.000 There they go, they have the death toll up there.

00:13:26.000 No mention of the fact that 3,700 added this week were just wild guesses.

00:13:31.000 Yeah, maybe!

00:13:32.000 2,200 of them were just people watching the ABC special on 2020 who saw Angie Areola.

00:13:37.000 Died laughing and hit add to count.

00:13:39.000 Oh no!

00:13:40.000 Right.

00:13:40.000 So I want to talk about this a little bit.

00:13:42.000 I know no one here is from Michigan.

00:13:45.000 But this has been a big deal, and I think it's sort of emblematic of where the country is going.

00:13:49.000 We've been remarkable.

00:13:50.000 We've tried to be as consistent as possible in addressing the coronavirus, wu flu, kung flu, whatever.

00:13:56.000 Kung flu, I think, is the funniest. 1.00

00:13:57.000 I noticed that Donald Trump doesn't say Chinese virus anymore.

00:13:59.000 I think he made the point.

00:14:00.000 People were like, all right, look.

00:14:01.000 I think he moved on.

00:14:02.000 Yeah.

00:14:03.000 You can say something else.

00:14:04.000 He moved on to presenting videos.

00:14:09.000 Uh, but Michigan, they've had some of the worst laws. 0.99

00:14:11.000 Not only the most stringent laws, but also the most inconsistent laws.

00:14:14.000 Laws that don't really make a whole lot of sense.

00:14:17.000 Oh, she's on television right now!

00:14:19.000 Is that Whitmer?

00:14:21.000 Oh god, let's see.

00:14:25.000 That being said, that man will never go bald.

00:14:30.000 Look at that.

00:14:31.000 That's gonna take a while.

00:14:31.000 That's like a reverse Guess Who wig.

00:14:34.000 His receding hairline is my full head of hair.

00:14:36.000 He is amazing.

00:14:37.000 That is unbelievable.

00:14:39.000 He's luscious.

00:14:39.000 Wow, it's like he had plugs and they overdid it.

00:14:44.000 I'd like you to stop right about here.

00:14:45.000 Are you sure?

00:14:46.000 Come all the way down.

00:14:46.000 What's this here?

00:14:47.000 That's your ass hair. 1.00

00:14:48.000 Is that like, sod, but for your head, right? 1.00

00:14:50.000 Where you're like, clearly you over-grassed it.

00:14:53.000 Right, he just pulls it back.

00:14:55.000 Oh, I am jealous.

00:14:55.000 He will never.

00:14:56.000 Look, I got this Bela Lugosi thing here going on.

00:14:58.000 Which the thing is too, I can't get haircuts right now.

00:15:01.000 Right.

00:15:02.000 So my hair gets long and so I was like, oh, let me brush it back.

00:15:04.000 And then I get the Nicolas Cage.

00:15:05.000 I get the look of like the, you know.

00:15:07.000 And then he becomes psychotic.

00:15:08.000 It's terrible.

00:15:09.000 Did you just look down your nose with your eyes wide open?

00:15:11.000 Yeah, I did.

00:15:11.000 Yeah.

00:15:12.000 I'd like to get my hair taken off.

00:15:16.000 So.

00:15:17.000 She's like a little off the top.

00:15:20.000 Yes, that's what I want.

00:15:20.000 So, Michiganders, they protested Governor Whitmer, and she banned any—and by the way, I love how they just arrest protesters in some of these places.

00:15:31.000 They're protesting the government overreach, and like, well, we're going to use the power of the government to put you in jail for protest.

00:15:37.000 Like, that's how that works?

00:15:39.000 What a brilliant ploy!

00:15:40.000 It's proved to the point, thank you.

00:15:42.000 So I can't protest your illegal action because you've made it illegal?

00:15:46.000 That doesn't make a lot of sense.

00:15:48.000 I'm incredibly confused, but not really because you're a communist.

00:15:51.000 I'm going to tell you, it's an effective technique.

00:15:55.000 Ask the Chinese. 0.99

00:15:56.000 Your people do it well.

00:15:57.000 Right.

00:15:58.000 Yeah, they have two doors.

00:15:59.000 They have whistleblowers and other.

00:16:02.000 Yes.

00:16:02.000 And then they just both wrap around to the same place, and you just go into a pit that goes nowhere.

00:16:08.000 That's not fun.

00:16:09.000 No, it has spikes in it.

00:16:10.000 It has spikes in it?

00:16:11.000 I don't know.

00:16:12.000 I didn't think they could do that.

00:16:15.000 I thought it was just a repurposing of the whole Doug to China.

00:16:19.000 And so they were just like, put them back.

00:16:21.000 You send them a couple of golf balls or whatever it is with the whole to China.

00:16:25.000 We send you Whistleblower. 0.99

00:16:28.000 Be sure to cough!

00:16:29.000 Say hello, be sure to cough!

00:16:30.000 You know what I love is there's gonna definitely be some, like, angry geologist in the audience who's, like, furiously typing out a comment that's like, That's not how it works.

00:16:38.000 There's a magma in the center of the Earth.

00:16:39.000 Right, and you can't dig through it.

00:16:41.000 He probably thinks the Earth is a sphere.

00:16:43.000 So, let's go to a clip here.

00:16:46.000 Is this actual Whitmer herself?

00:16:49.000 Let's go to first this clip so that you understand Michigan, what's going on a little bit, then we'll talk about it.

00:16:54.000 Tonight, thousands descending on Michigan's capital in Lansing to protest the governor's current stay-at-home rules.

00:17:00.000 Blocking traffic, honking their horns to protest some of the strictest rules in the country.

00:17:11.000 Animals!

00:17:11.000 How dare they?

00:17:13.000 Horns! 0.99

00:17:13.000 Blocking traffic. 0.99

00:17:14.000 They are traffic.

00:17:15.000 Yeah, they are traffic.

00:17:15.000 As a matter of fact, they are the only traffic.

00:17:18.000 Also, dramatic reductions in capacity for stores big and small.

00:17:22.000 They're in their cars honking.

00:17:23.000 per thousand therapy?

00:17:24.000 Have you seen people like these are, there was actually an article I think in the New

00:17:26.000 York Times, I can maybe bring it up, it said it's official, the quarantine or the social

00:17:31.000 distancing deniers are here.

00:17:33.000 Oh my god.

00:17:34.000 They're in their cars honking.

00:17:36.000 Yes.

00:17:37.000 They couldn't be more amenable to your demands and their protests.

00:17:41.000 They're doing it from an F-150.

00:17:44.000 Probably with a mask on!

00:17:45.000 Yeah, and if you read the stories, it says almost everyone stayed in their cars, a handful of people got out of their cars and were holding signs and waving flags, and the thing that they hated the most is that they handed out candy to children and they didn't have on gloves.

00:18:00.000 Sickos.

00:18:00.000 How dare they.

00:18:01.000 Disgusting. 0.98

00:18:02.000 That was quoted in two different articles that I read as like the height of... Hey, hey, but he's running for president. 0.71

00:18:06.000 Let Joe Biden hand out the candy.

00:18:08.000 This is true.

00:18:09.000 That's a missed opportunity on his part.

00:18:11.000 He could have sniffed a lot of kids.

00:18:12.000 He set up a kissing booth.

00:18:14.000 A sniffing booth?

00:18:16.000 He would rather, but they tell him, like, Joe, listen, take the W, okay?

00:18:21.000 They let you set up a kissing booth.

00:18:23.000 Just do that.

00:18:24.000 Sniffing is not, maybe our culture will get there someday.

00:18:27.000 It's just not there.

00:18:28.000 But we're not there yet.

00:18:29.000 Are we going to normalize that too?

00:18:30.000 Don't try and push progress too quickly, Joe.

00:18:35.000 Because parents think it's weird.

00:18:38.000 You know, CNN, you know, listen to what they said, right?

00:18:40.000 They said these are the strictest in the country, right?

00:18:44.000 So people are, I've seen people posting about this on social media, they're like, oh, I can't believe these people are just upset about social distancing.

00:18:50.000 No, go read the rules!

00:18:53.000 Go look at them! 1.00

00:18:54.000 It's not only the most strict, they are the stupidest rules. 0.99

00:18:56.000 And by the way, shout out to the sheriff of Leelanau County, where he said, we're not going to do this because we're not going to infringe on your constitutional rights. 0.98

00:19:02.000 And every single person, by the way, you can look at the Donald Trump three-phase plan, we'll get to that in a little bit, it's very reasonable.

00:19:08.000 It's about quarantining those who are vulnerable, making sure they are not exposed, keeping schools closed, not allowing huge gatherings, keeping them to 10 or less initially, and then gradually expanding.

00:19:18.000 And this is something else, too.

00:19:19.000 I was watching the press briefing last night.

00:19:21.000 Yeah.

00:19:21.000 And some reporter, talk about a leading question, asks Donald Trump, he says,

00:19:24.000 well how are people going to deal with the new normal?

00:19:26.000 You know, for example, at a stadium, if they have 100,000 seats, it'll have to be 60.

00:19:30.000 He goes, no, excuse me, excuse me, that's, there's not going to be a new normal.

00:19:33.000 They're going to be back to full seats.

00:19:35.000 People are like, oh my gosh, can you believe this?

00:19:36.000 Can you, do you understand what that would do to people's business?

00:19:39.000 You, to cut their profit capabilities by 40% because of the sniffles?

00:19:39.000 Yeah.

00:19:44.000 I get it's worse than the sniffles.

00:19:45.000 I'm exaggerating to make a point, but I don't really care.

00:19:47.000 I'm not going to apologize anymore.

00:19:48.000 COVID doesn't scare me that much compared to the unemployment and crippling effects.

00:19:53.000 Do you know what would happen to restaurants if they can't allow people to be there?

00:19:57.000 Do you know what would happen to colleges?

00:19:59.000 Imagine Notre Dame.

00:20:00.000 Imagine UT.

00:20:00.000 Imagine SMU.

00:20:01.000 Oh, you can only have 50% capacity.

00:20:03.000 Right now, sure.

00:20:05.000 But forever?

00:20:06.000 They assume, and this is by design, just like the ABC special, they want to ask that question.

00:20:12.000 So it looks like Donald Trump is fighting against the current by saying, no, no, no, eventually we're going to get back to normal.

00:20:17.000 And they want to make that seem like he's an animal.

00:20:19.000 He's right, of course.

00:20:22.000 You don't run a business.

00:20:23.000 You must have no idea how thin profit margins are.

00:20:27.000 And people stay up all night with TurboTax, for all I know.

00:20:30.000 I don't know what program they use.

00:20:31.000 I have a guy, Bill recommended him to me.

00:20:35.000 Take great care in addressing these numbers, and you just want to cut it in half? 1.00

00:20:38.000 You moron! 0.99

00:20:38.000 Yeah, well, WNBA is actually in favor of this. 0.99

00:20:41.000 It would increase attendance.

00:20:44.000 They're happy for this.

00:20:46.000 They have a weed cannon.

00:20:47.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:20:48.000 Well, do you remember when, in 1918, the pandemic killed millions of people around the world, how we banned all public gatherings forever after that point, and had no football games, and no theater attendance, and no restaurants open, and we all just shut down and died?

00:21:01.000 That didn't happen.

00:21:02.000 It killed millions of people around the world, and we didn't do these things.

00:21:05.000 The intonation was that you meant the opposite of that.

00:21:09.000 Man, see, sometimes... I see what you were saying there.

00:21:11.000 And the same when people talk about Dr. Fauci.

00:21:13.000 Listen.

00:21:15.000 When we're talking about a problem that is all-encompassing, and I will say at this point, the economic impact, and by the way, because of the economic impact, it has an even greater toll on the health impact of the country.

00:21:25.000 When you look at suicide, when you look at mental health, when you look at people who are more likely to develop addictions, or people, frankly, who are just more likely to become unhealthy because they're not nearly as active, especially if you're arresting people for going out jogging with their wives in parks.

00:21:38.000 If you are arresting a man for jogging alone on the beach, you are telling people, That short of having a home gym, they can't take part in any physical activity.

00:21:47.000 Yeah.

00:21:47.000 So this is unreal to me, at this point, that they want to suggest... Fauci, great.

00:21:52.000 Got it.

00:21:53.000 He's not taking into account any of the economic ramifications.

00:21:55.000 No.

00:21:56.000 Just like you wouldn't ask exclusively an economist what we should do for social distancing.

00:22:01.000 He's an expert in social distancing.

00:22:01.000 Right.

00:22:03.000 Just like cigars.

00:22:04.000 We've talked about it on the show.

00:22:05.000 If you ask a doctor, And I've asked this to a doctor.

00:22:08.000 Okay, never smoke.

00:22:10.000 Got it.

00:22:10.000 What about cigars?

00:22:11.000 What about a cigar a day or a couple cigars a week?

00:22:14.000 Well, you should never smoke.

00:22:15.000 What are the actual risks of me smoking a couple of cigars a week?

00:22:18.000 You should never smoke.

00:22:19.000 What are the risks?

00:22:20.000 Statistically, there's actually a 0% mortality increase or of any cancers combined.

00:22:27.000 The FDA releases a statement if you have a couple of cigars a week.

00:22:30.000 But you should never smoke.

00:22:31.000 I didn't ask your opinion.

00:22:33.000 I asked the risks so I can make an assessment and make a decision.

00:22:36.000 And right now we have very real numbers.

00:22:38.000 22 million people filing for unemployment.

00:22:40.000 I get it.

00:22:40.000 You like the doctor.

00:22:41.000 You like to accuse Republicans of being anti-science.

00:22:43.000 But guess what?

00:22:44.000 We do have to take into account the fact that people have no ability to live at this point.

00:22:51.000 So you can't only ask the doctor, is what I'm saying.

00:22:54.000 You need all different kinds of input.

00:22:56.000 And for some reason, this is the elitism from the left.

00:22:58.000 They mock Donald Trump.

00:22:59.000 If he has anyone on his board of reopening the economy, I think Tim Cook's on the board, if I'm not mistaken.

00:23:04.000 Right.

00:23:05.000 And look, Dr. Fauci, like you said, he's one voice in this fight, and you want him focused on what he's doing.

00:23:09.000 Somewhere Billy Gilman saying, my single is effective.

00:23:12.000 He's focused on the medical side of this.

00:23:12.000 No.

00:23:14.000 That's exactly where we want his focus.

00:23:16.000 We want him saying what he's saying.

00:23:18.000 But he's not the only person that gets to chime in and say, here's what the entire problem looks like for us.

00:23:23.000 We have a commander-in-chief who does not turn over the keys to the doctors in these situations for a reason.

00:23:27.000 You can't.

00:23:28.000 No, you can't do it.

00:23:29.000 Because otherwise, he's going to look at a situation much differently and say, the economics be damned, we have to stop this virus.

00:23:35.000 And that's exactly what you want him to do.

00:23:36.000 But then you want the economists to come along and say, yes, but it has to be proportional to the threat.

00:23:41.000 Business owners.

00:23:42.000 Anybody who has a different perspective.

00:23:44.000 This is something people say.

00:23:45.000 Bail out people, not corporations.

00:23:47.000 Hold on a second.

00:23:49.000 Who employs people?

00:23:50.000 Who runs a business?

00:23:52.000 I don't understand what that means.

00:23:53.000 If you bail out a business, that's so that you can have a sustainable way.

00:23:57.000 Do you realize if you just give someone a check, we know that doesn't work well.

00:24:00.000 Look at Native Americans. 1.00

00:24:01.000 Despite what my half-Asian lawyer's buddy Yang tries to tell you.

00:24:05.000 He's like, it works in Alaska.

00:24:06.000 They give them $200 a month and they use it for beer money.

00:24:09.000 People don't live on that.

00:24:10.000 You just give people money.

00:24:11.000 They have jobs otherwise.

00:24:12.000 No, you want to give them to people who can make sure that people remain employed so they have something to do after this economy.

00:24:18.000 Why is it that people who are doctors are the only authoritative experts, according to the left, but people who've created a business from the ground up and employ potentially dozens, hundreds, there's no merit?

00:24:30.000 There's no added societal value there?

00:24:32.000 God, it's remarkable to me.

00:24:34.000 I do find that this is an intriguing moment in history.

00:24:37.000 I will say this, you do both.

00:24:39.000 You do both.

00:24:39.000 He's a lawyer, so you did all the schooling, but you also started your own firm.

00:24:43.000 I did.

00:24:43.000 Right?

00:24:43.000 You could have taken, you could have been a clerk, you could have worked your way up and hoped that you became a partner at a big firm, but you started your own and I respect that.

00:24:50.000 How hard was that?

00:24:52.000 To do by yourself?

00:24:52.000 Really hard.

00:24:53.000 It's hard every day.

00:24:54.000 I mean, you know, I was fortunate to work with some good friends to start the firm and to build it up and, you know, to be where we are.

00:25:00.000 And it's a lot of fun to be able to work with people.

00:25:02.000 But I will say right now that the thing is really unique about where we are is normally, if you were concerned about the economy and you just were like, you know, I don't want to talk about the prevailing wisdom, you would probably do it at work, you do it at a bar, you do it at church, you do it with your buddies, whatever it may be.

00:25:18.000 But all the normal places that we would talk about those kinds of things, about I don't know if I really believe CNN or Governor Whitmer or all those things.

00:25:25.000 We don't have any of those.

00:25:26.000 Instead, the only place that we're looking right now, by and large, or we're allowed to look, is Facebook and Twitter.

00:25:32.000 And the voices on Facebook and Twitter are predominantly hysterical.

00:25:36.000 And I will tell you, it is actually people in my position who have the ability to work outside their office and don't have to have their workers come in.

00:25:45.000 Yeah.

00:25:45.000 during this time and can relatively still keep their business on that are

00:25:48.000 saying, well why can't you just stay home? But I will tell you that the vast

00:25:51.000 majority of people on the left and the right, when you actually talk to them

00:25:55.000 right now, are telling you why aren't we talking about opening the economy.

00:25:59.000 And the reason is because those people are suffering. If you work in

00:26:02.000 hospitality, restaurants, all of those different businesses and all the

00:26:05.000 businesses that support them. So when you're looking at the news right now,

00:26:08.000 when you're hearing people say, well it's very clear everyone's on board with

00:26:12.000 us keeping shut down until 2028 to kill this coronavirus.

00:26:16.000 It's just flat out wrong.

00:26:17.000 And you know what?

00:26:18.000 It's proof positive of, you know I've talked about this, if Republicans are the party of

00:26:21.000 the rich, well, okay listen, you still do need a majority or plurality depending if

00:26:25.000 there's a nadir that month.

00:26:29.000 You need a plurality of the vote.

00:26:31.000 Right.

00:26:32.000 Who's the other guy?

00:26:33.000 Ross Perot.

00:26:34.000 Ross Perot, there was one more.

00:26:35.000 Can't, Schweppes. 0.72

00:26:36.000 Got it.

00:26:37.000 But you need a plurality of the vote.

00:26:40.000 So for Republicans to be successful, it is in their interest to make you and keep you rich.

00:26:46.000 If Democrats are the party of the poor, and by the way, let's be really clear, not the middle class anymore.

00:26:50.000 The party of the poor, the party of the people who pay 47% of Americans who pay nothing in federal income tax, but they get federal transfers that amount to a negative 50 plus percent income tax rate.

00:26:59.000 They're the party of the poor. 0.90

00:27:00.000 They have a vested interest in keeping you poor.

00:27:02.000 So let's think about this for a second.

00:27:03.000 Right now, they don't want to ensure that the economy can continue, that people can be employed when they talk about everyday Americans.

00:27:09.000 They want to send you a temporary check so that hopefully you can be dependent on that check forevermore, and then they suggest universal basic income.

00:27:17.000 Right now, their solutions all involve relying on the government. 0.82

00:27:20.000 And they absolutely just shit-kicked the president for presenting a three-phase plan that couldn't be more reasonable and in line with working-class Americans.

00:27:32.000 And I wanted to ask you one more question, Bill. 0.96

00:27:35.000 You went to law school, right?

00:27:36.000 You're a very good lawyer.

00:27:37.000 He's a lawyer.

00:27:40.000 Lawyer.

00:27:40.000 And you started your own firm.

00:27:42.000 How many people do you think who went to law school with you who were also really good lawyers, do you think all of them could have done that?

00:27:49.000 I think there's definitely a smaller number of people who, and I even hear from my own classmates, the ones who are still working at larger firms or working in companies, they just say, look, there's a certain profile of folks who kind of have the skill, but also the kind of entrepreneurial risk-taking profile to be able to start a business.

00:28:04.000 And fortunately, I have partners who work with me who share that profile.

00:28:08.000 But there's a lot of folks where they just don't have that.

00:28:12.000 The answer is no.

00:28:13.000 He's just being very diplomatic.

00:28:14.000 It's a long way around.

00:28:15.000 It's a very tough slog.

00:28:17.000 He's trying to get the segment to be... I'm trying to pay him a compliment, and somehow I end up looking like a dick. 0.99

00:28:22.000 It's weird how that happens, often. 0.97

00:28:25.000 Here's the thing.

00:28:25.000 One, I'm going to see them at the reunion.

00:28:27.000 It'll be virtually.

00:28:28.000 Who knows if all this keeps going.

00:28:30.000 So I want to say that.

00:28:32.000 I want you to show up at that reunion more Asian than you left them, just to confuse them. 1.00

00:28:36.000 Be like, oh, Bill, how you doing?

00:28:38.000 How are you doing?

00:28:40.000 I went back to China.

00:28:41.000 I have good... Oh, yeah, I remember.

00:28:43.000 Oh, good.

00:28:43.000 And just see what they were like, what is this?

00:28:45.000 Is this Bill Richmond?

00:28:46.000 Is that Bill?

00:28:48.000 His name is Bill?

00:28:48.000 I'm gonna wear my Wuhan pin just like all around.

00:28:51.000 On your lab coat to Wuhan forever.

00:28:53.000 I'm gonna come with a stethoscope.

00:28:54.000 They'll be like, wait a minute.

00:28:56.000 Hold on.

00:28:57.000 You started a lab safety company over in Wuhan.

00:29:00.000 Dr. Jiang?

00:29:01.000 Was someone about to say something?

00:29:03.000 I was.

00:29:03.000 I can't help but wonder if this wasn't an election year, what the response would be from the left, right?

00:29:08.000 Because the thing that we all heard coming out of the State of the Union was that the economy was just roaring and there was absolutely no foothold.

00:29:16.000 And if you remember, Whitmer, she actually gave the Democrat response And all she could do is basically go, yeah, the economy's good, but, you know, it's not as good as it maybe, I don't know, could be.

00:29:25.000 There was no platform for the Democrats.

00:29:27.000 I can't help but wonder if dragging this out doesn't help them get there a little bit more.

00:29:32.000 Listen, she's telegenic, she's relatively sharp, but her response made Bobby Jindal's rebuttal to Barack Obama look like Winston Churchill.

00:29:40.000 Yeah, the only more cringe-worthy moment was when Rubio ran out of water in his mouth.

00:29:47.000 And he couldn't get the cup because he couldn't grab it with his hands.

00:29:50.000 He's like, hold on, like a kid.

00:29:51.000 He falls down below the camera line.

00:29:54.000 Somebody needs to tell him where the camera is.

00:29:55.000 He's like this.

00:29:56.000 And then Donald Trump goes, si, small marco.

00:29:58.000 So, okay, really quickly, by the way, Democrats also blocked an additional $250 billion in small businesses, small business aides calling it a stunt.

00:30:06.000 So again, anywhere that they could help the businesses who employ you, keep in mind, employers don't hate you.

00:30:10.000 They're actually looking to try and, because they need to keep you employed in order for them to be employed.

00:30:14.000 They were trying to make sure that it went to more minority-owned businesses and women-owned businesses. 1.00

00:30:23.000 Could you imagine if during the Great Depression, we have more unemployment than during the Great Depression?

00:30:27.000 Like, wait, wait, wait, we need to make sure there are more colored businesses.

00:30:31.000 Now I understand that we probably should have had more colored businesses back then, but that's because there were horrible racist laws. 0.66

00:30:36.000 My point is the priority at this point, when the playing field has been leveled, is to get all Americans back to work.

00:30:43.000 And black Americans, Asian Americans, Latinx will benefit more than just trying to focus on a... What was that?

00:30:52.000 I was saying, we're already working.

00:30:53.000 Yeah, that's true.

00:30:54.000 Well, you know, it's ironic.

00:30:55.000 I also love that half-Asian Bill is in a robe and double monk strap shoes. 1.00

00:30:58.000 Well, those are nice shoes.

00:30:59.000 No, we've got to go to Michigan.

00:31:00.000 We've got to go back to Michigan.

00:31:01.000 So we just showed you a clip.

00:31:02.000 This is probably going to go on Crowder Bits, but we can't even run the clip.

00:31:04.000 We just showed you the clip from Whitmer.

00:31:09.000 Let's not watch it again.

00:31:10.000 I don't want to watch anymore with Whitmer.

00:31:11.000 So here's the thing. 0.58

00:31:11.000 The laws not only were stringent, they were retarded. 0.58

00:31:17.000 It's a technical term, though.

00:31:19.000 It is.

00:31:19.000 She forced all businesses to close that had, like, nurseries.

00:31:22.000 I don't mean nurseries, plants.

00:31:23.000 Plants, yeah.

00:31:25.000 We should have different words for that.

00:31:27.000 Yeah, we should.

00:31:28.000 Tiling, carpet, departments had to shut down entire sections of their store.

00:31:32.000 But you can still buy weed in Michigan, just to be clear.

00:31:36.000 So you can go out and you can buy yourself some Spaceman Kush OG, but God forbid you try to pony up for a poinsettia.

00:31:45.000 Yeah.

00:31:46.000 Just to show you... Shows the priorities here.

00:31:48.000 And you can't use your boat in Michigan.

00:31:51.000 What?

00:31:51.000 So we have a video of a guy who's getting arrested jogging on the beach.

00:31:54.000 It's like, I'm walking here!

00:31:57.000 How far out do I have to go?

00:31:58.000 In Michigan, not at all.

00:31:59.000 You can't even go out to the water.

00:32:02.000 Which is odd, because that's also private property for people.

00:32:05.000 People don't understand this.

00:32:06.000 In Michigan, when you own waterfront property, I don't know exactly where, but it goes up like a slice of pizza.

00:32:11.000 Oh, really?

00:32:11.000 Like a slice of pizza, like a corner, where a certain portion of that is still considered a portion of your property, and then it's public, you know, because you're out there.

00:32:17.000 It's public, state run, I don't know the exact terminology, but here's the exception, a canoe is fine.

00:32:23.000 So, you can have a canoe or a rowboat, but you can't go out on a jet ski.

00:32:29.000 I just want to get away and go out in the middle of the lake by myself, with my wife perhaps, on my Boston Whaler, and you might see the Coast Guard.

00:32:42.000 Yeah.

00:32:42.000 What are you thinking?

00:32:43.000 But if they do pull you over in the middle of the lake, just tell them you're on your way to get an abortion. 0.98

00:32:47.000 Yes!

00:32:49.000 Go on your way, sir.

00:32:51.000 Is this one of those new water abortions? 0.99

00:32:54.000 It is.

00:32:56.000 I like the big canoe industry right now.

00:32:57.000 The big canoe lobby is out there going, you need a Coleman?

00:33:01.000 We got him.

00:33:03.000 There are two beneficiaries, Big Canoe and with Dr. Birx, Big Scarf.

00:33:08.000 Big Scarf is loving it right now.

00:33:11.000 That's awesome.

00:33:11.000 What else do we have?

00:33:12.000 Oh, this is something else to keep in mind, too, when we're talking about middle-class Americans.

00:33:15.000 The reason Michiganders are so upset, and I don't take political stances, but because I love Michigan so much, was born there, and then have lived there for a very long time, and have so much family there, I might just need to step in and do something to get this broad out of there, because I wasn't a huge fan of Snyder just because he was a wiener, but he still was so much better than this lady right here. 0.58

00:33:35.000 Americans may not understand this.

00:33:37.000 There's more coastline in Michigan than I believe any other state, maybe outside of Florida, more than California.

00:33:43.000 People understand because it's fresh coast.

00:33:45.000 And if you've never been to the Great Lakes, particularly Lake Michigan, like in northern Michigan, for example, Leelanau County, where the sheriff said, hey, Whitmer, It's beautiful.

00:33:54.000 It looks like the Mediterranean.

00:33:55.000 You have vineyards rolling down into the water.

00:33:58.000 I can attest to this.

00:33:59.000 I got married up there.

00:34:01.000 And this is working class.

00:34:03.000 They have an unbelievable, disproportionate number of Americans, of Michiganders, who

00:34:08.000 have second homes in Michigan.

00:34:09.000 I think they have the number of 265,000 seasonal vacation homes.

00:34:14.000 So it's not like California or Florida where you have this beautiful penthouse and these condos.

00:34:21.000 These people have cottages in the lake.

00:34:22.000 They go ice fishing.

00:34:23.000 This is the culture in Michigan.

00:34:25.000 When they say you cannot travel between two homes, that's one of the rules right now.

00:34:28.000 For some reason, you can travel out of state.

00:34:29.000 So if you have, for some god-awful reason, a summer home in Illinois...

00:34:34.000 I love seeing the full moon over the cornfields and the oil refineries.

00:34:38.000 For some reason, you can leave the state, but you can't travel from, let's say, Grand Rapids or Kalamazoo up to Traverse City, Michigan.

00:34:47.000 You're not allowed to.

00:34:48.000 Most Michiganders, this is what they do.

00:34:52.000 They don't go on vacation, a lot of them.

00:34:53.000 They have a small home, cottage, on a lake somewhere, and they look forward to it all year.

00:34:58.000 They go there.

00:34:59.000 Usually it runs in the family.

00:35:00.000 My wife, It's tradition.

00:35:02.000 Her grandfather built a home with his bare hands up on Lake Michigan before there were power lines.

00:35:08.000 Was he Amish?

00:35:09.000 No, he wasn't Amish. 0.80

00:35:10.000 Can you believe that?

00:35:11.000 Think about that.

00:35:12.000 This man was a bombardier in World War II.

00:35:14.000 He built two homes with his own hands.

00:35:16.000 He was the mayor of Bloomfield Township, or city supervisor, and he was a professor.

00:35:21.000 He had a PhD.

00:35:22.000 Let's just get to building two homes.

00:35:24.000 You couldn't pay me enough to go on the second floor of a home that I built.

00:35:30.000 I would never trust it!

00:35:31.000 And she tried to pivot and she said, you know what, the UP right now is gonna, it's set to get 30 inches or so.

00:35:36.000 I'm like, seriously?

00:35:37.000 You just, you basically banked on the rest of the country not knowing that there's a difference between UP and Northern Michigan.

00:35:42.000 Sorry!

00:35:43.000 That's why we forfeit our God-given rights!

00:35:45.000 Because of a dusting!

00:35:47.000 Yes, but the UP is not the thing going on right now.

00:35:49.000 Most people are not going that far.

00:35:50.000 They're going to Traverse City and they're going up, like you said, to Leelanau County and places like that.

00:35:55.000 So stop making that comparison.

00:35:56.000 This is why they've had these protests.

00:35:57.000 It affects a lot of Michiganders who work hard and play hard.

00:36:01.000 Ted Nugent has talked about this.

00:36:02.000 That is the culture there.

00:36:03.000 It's having a lake house.

00:36:04.000 It's passed down through generations.

00:36:05.000 It's not super crazy expensive, as it is in other states.

00:36:08.000 It's always more expensive now that it's becoming more popular.

00:36:10.000 Something else, too.

00:36:11.000 This is what really bothers me.

00:36:13.000 She claims that Donald Trump—this is Whitmer, Michigan.

00:36:15.000 Remember the name.

00:36:16.000 Remember the name, folks!

00:36:17.000 Whitmer.

00:36:18.000 You heard it here.

00:36:18.000 When it comes down to voting, just whatever is not Whitmer.

00:36:21.000 I have no idea.

00:36:22.000 Don't vote Whitmer.

00:36:24.000 She said that Donald Trump withheld federal aid, by the way, with no receipts.

00:36:28.000 And then banned and threatened, prohibited doctors from prescribing hydroxychloroquine.

00:36:34.000 Oh, wow.

00:36:34.000 You know she probably has like a morning briefing from Salon and Slate because they're like, we have to team up against hydroxychloroquine because it seems like it's working.

00:36:43.000 She banned it outright and then begged and lobbied Donald Trump to send some from the Federal Reserve afterwards.

00:36:51.000 No, there was a miscommunication.

00:36:53.000 When we said we were prohibiting doctors, what we meant was, send some.

00:37:00.000 I really wish that he would have been like, uh, you know, I'm really sorry.

00:37:04.000 We can't go ahead and send it.

00:37:06.000 No, sorry, governor.

00:37:06.000 We can't do it.

00:37:07.000 Just to screw with it for like a day as it's on its way there.

00:37:10.000 Right.

00:37:10.000 And we have Brian Callan.

00:37:11.000 Is that what I'm hearing?

00:37:12.000 Yeah.

00:37:12.000 Okay.

00:37:13.000 Hold on one second.

00:37:13.000 I want to run one last clip.

00:37:15.000 Um, this, uh, this brought also, uh, this is something funny to me.

00:37:18.000 She's clearly auditioning for VP of Joe Biden.

00:37:20.000 Who's this on?

00:37:21.000 China revises Wuhan death toll by up.

00:37:23.000 Oh, a little bit of revision.

00:37:25.000 Who's that kid?

00:37:26.000 By 50%.

00:37:26.000 Still essentially shut down.

00:37:29.000 With a 6% death rate.

00:37:30.000 Daniel Radcliffe's little brother?

00:37:33.000 No, he looks like a comedian named Daniel... Brian Callen can probably, when he comes on, I can ask him that comedian who talks like this.

00:37:39.000 Say, Dan something man.

00:37:41.000 Dan Savage man.

00:37:42.000 I don't know.

00:37:43.000 But we'll find out who he is.

00:37:44.000 This is completely irrelevant.

00:37:45.000 So here's another thing that she did.

00:37:47.000 She said she didn't have time for politics. 1.00

00:37:49.000 And a lot of people buy this, pardon me, buy this shit when people say, like, I don't have time for politics, you know, as though everybody doesn't have some kind of a political persuasion. 0.98

00:37:59.000 And then she'll, so because she doesn't have time for politics, and she's most concerned with the citizens of Michigan, a huge portion of whom have second homes and now can no longer use their jet ski. 0.99

00:38:08.000 She decided to go on Trevor Noah's program and wear this hat because Donald Trump referred to her as that woman from Michigan, which clearly got her goat. 0.98

00:38:18.000 I assume a lot of Michiganders have small farms and goats, so it was an apt. 0.99

00:38:22.000 Definitely got her goat. 1.00

00:38:23.000 Analogy.

00:38:23.000 Here's a clip.

00:38:24.000 It's hard to talk with you or speak with you and not ask you about the comments the president made about you.

00:38:32.000 I think you have a shirt that might be exactly that.

00:38:35.000 Oh, a shirt.

00:38:35.000 Sorry, I was wrong.

00:38:36.000 That woman from Michigan.

00:38:39.000 uh...

00:38:40.000 an extremely dismissive statement yes uh... and one that sparked a conversation in my eyes

00:38:46.000 accommodation uh... i guess it is a lot of jokes with the admin dot has a

00:38:52.000 facial hair uh... that's still called terrible is a difficult for you

00:38:55.000 during this period shaded get rid of it i think it was at the same time trying

00:38:59.000 to deal with a crisis

00:39:01.000 i don't think any of us has energy to deal with politics right now

00:39:05.000 All of our energy, all of our focus has to be on meeting the needs of our people.

00:39:09.000 People are dying.

00:39:10.000 You just have the energy to go to Vistaprint and have a custom-made t-shirt, expedite shipping, so that you can go on Trevor Noah's show and talk about... Non-political show.

00:39:22.000 By the way, no one remembers your name.

00:39:25.000 You're relatively inconsequential.

00:39:26.000 Now we will.

00:39:28.000 You're welcome.

00:39:29.000 Now people will remember who you are because we don't like you.

00:39:32.000 I don't have time for politics, but here's my shirt that you can now buy at whitmerforreelection.com.

00:39:40.000 Make a donation.

00:39:41.000 Oh my god, I hope she loses so badly.

00:39:45.000 When Michigan went for Donald Trump, I was so surprised and thrilled.

00:39:49.000 You know, I called that one wrong.

00:39:50.000 Yeah.

00:39:51.000 Big time.

00:39:51.000 I think everybody did.

00:39:53.000 No, not like me.

00:39:54.000 Big swing and a miss on my part.

00:39:56.000 I didn't take into account... I was trying to give you some cover there and you just ran out.

00:39:59.000 I don't want the cover.

00:40:00.000 I don't want the cover.

00:40:01.000 I deserve to get my cover.

00:40:01.000 You ran out from under that cover.

00:40:03.000 I want you to curb stomp me and dribble my head like a basketball. 1.00

00:40:07.000 Who's the Washington Wizards?

00:40:10.000 In other words, don't dribble so well like the Harlem Globetrotters, but wizard level.

00:40:13.000 You don't want to be head-dribbling.

00:40:15.000 I deserve it!

00:40:16.000 I didn't take into account Western Michigan and how much they hate people like this, and Northern Michigan, like the sheriff in Leelanau County, who said, no, we're not going to do that.

00:40:22.000 Do we have Brian Callen?

00:40:23.000 Or do we have to go to a traffic report?

00:40:24.000 We don't have Brian Callen.

00:40:24.000 We don't.

00:40:25.000 If we don't have Brian Callen, I'm fine moving and we can have him on next week.

00:40:25.000 You know what?

00:40:29.000 Are there issues getting him on Skype?

00:40:30.000 Yeah, I'm having trouble getting him on Skype.

00:40:32.000 Oh, OK. 1.00

00:40:32.000 Well, hey, Brian Callen, eat my butt! 1.00

00:40:37.000 Wow. 1.00

00:40:37.000 Edgy humor. 1.00

00:40:39.000 What?

00:40:39.000 I'm just kidding.

00:40:40.000 Did you just?

00:40:40.000 Hold on a second.

00:40:41.000 We want to open this up on the show?

00:40:43.000 Is that what we want to do?

00:40:44.000 Do we want to do a Gerald A. Roast?

00:40:47.000 This is the moment when I go from number three to number two.

00:40:51.000 I'm so excited.

00:40:53.000 This is what I've been waiting for.

00:40:55.000 I think Gerald just went number two.

00:40:58.000 Don't joke check me!

00:40:59.000 I was messing with you, sorry, I had to. 1.00

00:41:00.000 Don't joke check me, you gray sandpaper jawed son of a bitch. 1.00

00:41:06.000 That was really bad. 1.00

00:41:07.000 Now you threw me off my game!

00:41:10.000 No, he's in my head!

00:41:11.000 I'm unfunny by osmosis!

00:41:15.000 It was bad, but at least it was long.

00:41:16.000 Take your square jaw and classic good looks out of here.

00:41:21.000 He does have a square jaw.

00:41:22.000 We actually do have a traffic report we can... Okay, you know what?

00:41:25.000 Before we move on, let's go to a traffic report right now with Thomas Finnegan.

00:41:28.000 Again, we want to keep you updated.

00:41:29.000 All right.

00:41:30.000 Here to keep us updated, all of you on your morning commute, because we know that things

00:41:43.000 change and they're apt to change right now with the quarantine, is our on-location reporter,

00:41:48.000 traffic reporter Thomas Finnegan.

00:41:49.000 Thomas Finnegan, what do you have for us, sir?

00:41:52.000 Good morning, Steven.

00:41:54.000 I took the chopper out this morning.

00:41:56.000 Okay.

00:41:56.000 Can't see a whole lot.

00:41:59.000 Right, yeah.

00:42:00.000 Well, it seems unnecessary to take the chopper out, so what are you seeing and why did you take the chopper?

00:42:09.000 Looking back, it was a poor decision.

00:42:11.000 It's, uh, it's overcast.

00:42:14.000 Yeah.

00:42:14.000 Okay.

00:42:15.000 Yeah.

00:42:15.000 Sounds like you're high up there.

00:42:16.000 Okay.

00:42:17.000 Well, you know what?

00:42:17.000 Come on back down and maybe we'll call you back later and maybe we won't.

00:42:20.000 All right.

00:42:20.000 That's been the Traffic Update here with Thomas Finnegan.

00:42:22.000 Thank you again, ladies and gentlemen, we appreciate it.

00:42:24.000 All right.

00:42:34.000 I'm not gonna lie, if there was a low-hanging fruit of a job to go get right now, it would be Thomas Finnegan's job.

00:42:40.000 Yeah, he doesn't put a lot of effort into it.

00:42:42.000 Followed closely by the weatherman because no one cares.

00:42:45.000 Right, exactly.

00:42:46.000 It's a huge waste of resources too, but I'd do it.

00:42:48.000 I'd fuel up the helicopter and go up.

00:42:50.000 It'd be kind of fun.

00:42:51.000 It seems very wasteful with no training.

00:42:51.000 Yeah, it would be fun.

00:42:55.000 It does not seem like Thomas Finnegan is particularly frugal.

00:42:57.000 I wouldn't let him fly.

00:42:58.000 No, no.

00:42:58.000 Spends the station's money well, though.

00:43:00.000 All right.

00:43:01.000 Hey, here's an unpopular opinion.

00:43:02.000 I was just talking about this.

00:43:04.000 And then they said don't talk about this, but I'm going to.

00:43:07.000 Well, we're talking about cops and overreach of power, okay, at this point.

00:43:10.000 And I've obviously backed the blue.

00:43:12.000 I think they've been maligned often, particularly when you go to, like, Black Lives Matter a lot, and you see that Dallas police officers were shot because of that kind of rhetoric.

00:43:19.000 And, you know, a good example of that is Mike Brown, right?

00:43:22.000 Hands up, don't shoot. 0.99

00:43:23.000 He not only—it wasn't hands up, don't shoot—he not only punched a cop, he was reaching into a cop car—oh, this did unbutton—reaching into a cop car, reaching for the holster, Like, I don't know about you, and this could be a blind spot as a white person, I can't imagine a scenario in which I don't get my ass kicked. 1.00

00:43:41.000 Yeah. 0.97

00:43:42.000 If that's not the line at which you forfeit your right to live, I don't know where it is.

00:43:46.000 And it's not something I'm happy about.

00:43:46.000 Right.

00:43:48.000 No, I don't want him to die.

00:43:50.000 You have to defend yourself.

00:43:52.000 It's not even a race issue. 1.00

00:43:53.000 I mean, there are stupid people of all races that do those kinds of things. 1.00

00:43:56.000 I never approach a police officer without going, Hey, officer! 1.00

00:43:59.000 Ha! 0.89

00:44:00.000 When he turns around, hey, ho, hands, look! 0.99

00:44:03.000 I'm here!

00:44:03.000 I'm over here!

00:44:04.000 I just wanted to know if I can give my wife a peck on the cheek. 1.00

00:44:09.000 Is that okay, officer?

00:44:10.000 We're not sure anymore.

00:44:10.000 I've never let alone walking in and punching a cop.

00:44:14.000 It's almost like I'm walking behind a horse. 1.00

00:44:15.000 You know, I just put my hand on his ass. 0.99

00:44:17.000 I'm like, hey, I'm coming around here, officer. 0.99

00:44:18.000 Just want to make sure that you know I'm here.

00:44:21.000 Don't work that holster to get unlatched.

00:44:23.000 No, the officers. 0.99

00:44:24.000 Because I also want to see if he's gay. 1.00

00:44:27.000 That's like your gay check is grabbing the ass? 1.00

00:44:31.000 No, it's like walking around. 1.00

00:44:33.000 It's not a grab.

00:44:34.000 It's a slide.

00:44:36.000 And you walk around from the left like a horse.

00:44:37.000 I feel like this is something Joe Biden would say to justify his behavior.

00:44:40.000 I feel like it's something Joe Biden wouldn't understand that I'm saying.

00:44:47.000 But then you look back on all and I do because there is a valid concern of police overreach and most police officers obviously are not interested in doing that but we have seen some instances like the man being arrested on the beach like people being arrested for kissing in a public park that's a real problem that being said I'm conflicted.

00:45:04.000 What's going on there, Audio?

00:45:05.000 You and Matty are arguing about something.

00:45:07.000 Just tell Brian Cowan we can't have him on.

00:45:09.000 Yeah, just no overlay.

00:45:10.000 I'd rather you be here with me, Audio.

00:45:10.000 He keeps coming back on.

00:45:12.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:45:13.000 He keeps calling back in like, please?

00:45:14.000 It's like you're doing that, what's that where you do the levitation from your own body when you're sleeping?

00:45:18.000 Possession?

00:45:18.000 What's that called?

00:45:20.000 Astral projection.

00:45:21.000 Astral projection, yes.

00:45:22.000 He's not even here anymore.

00:45:24.000 But I realize I usually do tend to side with police officers just because you see them get a rough Deal.

00:45:32.000 A good example, actually, this is something everyone's going to get mad at me, flower power.

00:45:35.000 Remember that famous picture?

00:45:36.000 Do we have that picture?

00:45:38.000 Can we bring that up?

00:45:39.000 The flower power picture?

00:45:40.000 With the person putting the, what was it, a daisy?

00:45:43.000 Something like that.

00:45:45.000 In the rifle of a gun.

00:45:46.000 And that's one of those things where I think I'm the only person who, when I see it, I'm like, I want that next frame to be that daisy being blown out.

00:45:54.000 Through the person who got... Look at that!

00:45:56.000 Look at that!

00:45:57.000 It's not only a flower in one gun, all the other rifles are filled with flowers!

00:46:03.000 Do you have any idea how much time that takes?

00:46:06.000 Especially because he's high, you know he's high, so you know there was a little bit of a...

00:46:10.000 There's some wobble going for sure.

00:46:11.000 And he misses it by a foot.

00:46:13.000 Everyone's sitting there like, look, look, a peaceful demonstration.

00:46:15.000 You're getting in that officer's personal space.

00:46:18.000 He's showing unbelievable restraint.

00:46:19.000 I want it to be like an old film reel of that, followed by uh, followed by he's off frame, and you just see just a puff of flour, of pollen.

00:46:30.000 It was like, sorry, he warned you after the fourth flower in the barrel of his gun that he didn't want someone high on shrooms getting close to him despite your turtleneck.

00:46:40.000 By the way, that guy?

00:46:41.000 That guy, he was the head of a drag theater troupe.

00:46:44.000 Really?

00:46:45.000 And then later on, yeah, later on died of AIDS.

00:46:48.000 Not that that's funny, but just like, this was clearly a guy who was looking to make a statement.

00:46:52.000 He was.

00:46:53.000 And that won a Pulitzer for photojournalism.

00:46:55.000 He's got nothing to lose, apparently, right?

00:46:57.000 And he didn't know that flowers don't stop bullets.

00:46:59.000 That's crazy.

00:47:00.000 It's a terrible rumor.

00:47:01.000 He wasn't shot.

00:47:02.000 I know that.

00:47:03.000 I just want to make sure, because I need to clarify, otherwise none of this is funny or acceptable.

00:47:09.000 I think everybody knows that guy didn't get shot.

00:47:11.000 Yeah, he got shot by the HIV virus.

00:47:14.000 Which, of course, AIDS, as you all know, HIV is a virus, and AIDS is a disease.

00:47:18.000 AIDS is nothing to laugh at. 1.00

00:47:19.000 Virus is kind of funny, though, because a virus is something you can beat.

00:47:24.000 So, and the HIV virus in North America, not obviously we, you know, get your treatment, Dallas Pirates Club, all that, but it's almost like the HIV in North America, considering the rate, if you, you know, if you don't have, if you don't have sex with strangers and, you know, gay sex with strangers in truck stops or shoot up heroin with dirty needles, your chance is statistically zero percent.

00:47:41.000 So it's like, it's almost like the virus, not the disease, because that's not funny, but the virus is entirely controllable, manageable. 0.94

00:47:47.000 It's almost like you fall asleep at a party and your friends drop penises on your face with Sharpies. 0.98

00:47:52.000 Is that what happens? 0.99

00:47:54.000 You just didn't know.

00:47:55.000 Because you have the Asian rosacea. 0.99

00:47:57.000 You fall asleep for a very long time.

00:47:59.000 The sloughing off of skin cells results in you just going, oh, I think I have a glow.

00:48:02.000 No, they drew sharpie.

00:48:03.000 They drew stuff on me, and it was funny.

00:48:06.000 OK.

00:48:06.000 All right.

00:48:07.000 So let's move on with the update here.

00:48:09.000 Oh, what's going on at CNN?

00:48:10.000 There's a guy with a... Let's find out.

00:48:11.000 The guy's wearing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar eye gear.

00:48:16.000 Wait a second, did you see this?

00:48:20.000 Growing number of cases, deaths in America's nursing homes.

00:48:25.000 Why is that a news story?

00:48:26.000 People in nursing homes are dying, Steven.

00:48:28.000 People in nursing homes are dying faster than the average population.

00:48:33.000 What's the average age?

00:48:34.000 87.

00:48:35.000 That's past life expectancy.

00:48:37.000 They're there because they're on borrowed time at this point.

00:48:40.000 Doesn't mean that not every life is precious.

00:48:43.000 Of course, we have to issue the caveat.

00:48:45.000 But, this is a story right now?

00:48:48.000 I don't know.

00:48:49.000 People are dying in nursing homes from a disease that we know 90% of people are almost entirely fine if they are not old or already sick.

00:48:57.000 Oh, and here we have the color of COVID.

00:48:59.000 The color of COVID.

00:49:02.000 That doesn't seem very colorful.

00:49:05.000 It's really more of a singular shade of COVID.

00:49:10.000 Is this going to be a continuation of this racist COVID claim that we heard the other day?

00:49:14.000 Yeah it is.

00:49:15.000 We already covered that this week so we don't want to cover it again.

00:49:18.000 A couple of main reasons is they don't trust authority and black people live in urban areas and so unfortunately they are more likely to be affected.

00:49:27.000 It just makes sense.

00:49:27.000 That's all.

00:49:28.000 It's not racism.

00:49:29.000 Now, it's not like this was, now it could be, you may know if it was released from the lab, like there could be some racist person in China.

00:49:34.000 That's true.

00:49:34.000 Chinese people sometimes build, there are a lot of racists in China, right?

00:49:38.000 There are some racists in China.

00:49:39.000 Haven't we talked about that?

00:49:40.000 More so against other Asians. 1.00

00:49:41.000 There's racists everywhere.

00:49:43.000 But are they, are they... Nah, I've seen a higher proportion.

00:49:45.000 Well, come on, you know, the Chinese... How many Chinese people have you talked to there, Gerard?

00:49:48.000 I actually have talked to quite a few.

00:49:50.000 How many?

00:49:51.000 Uh, ten.

00:49:52.000 Now, boys!

00:49:53.000 Oh, wow.

00:49:53.000 That's almost all of them.

00:49:56.000 It's just a coincidence that they were all racist, by the way.

00:50:00.000 Totally a coincidence.

00:50:02.000 I could have sworn one day you said sometimes Chinese people can be... He says it every day. 1.00

00:50:07.000 He's just putting you on the spot.

00:50:08.000 No, no, no.

00:50:10.000 Let no one be confused.

00:50:11.000 There is a high level of racism to certain groups.

00:50:17.000 So I was right!

00:50:18.000 You just wanted to see him sweat like a dog at a wet market.

00:50:21.000 He really did.

00:50:23.000 But it tends to be against other Asians.

00:50:25.000 Not only, but there is a rivalry.

00:50:27.000 It's almost like sports teams that we don't really have as much.

00:50:30.000 Actually, that's not as bad as like, for example, like in general Asian cultures as it relates to anyone from Africa.

00:50:37.000 Like the racism there is, again, on a general level, this is not all Asians or Asians in America

00:50:44.000 or Asians in Canada.

00:50:45.000 I mean, it's just, again, when you think about culturally.

00:50:47.000 Wait, did you just say Asians in Canada?

00:50:48.000 No, seriously.

00:50:50.000 Yeah, because Asians in Canada and America tend to be much more tolerant because they've

00:50:56.000 assimilated to American and Canadian cultural norms, as opposed to the kind of mono-cultural nature of China

00:51:05.000 itself.

00:51:06.000 Because you think about all the people in China are representative of a very small number.

00:51:10.000 Yes, there's a lot of dialects.

00:51:11.000 Yes, there's a lot of other races that have come and been there.

00:51:14.000 But generally, there's nowhere near as much of a mix as there is in America, which is why

00:51:18.000 we have additional challenges dealing with COVID from a genetic standpoint.

00:51:22.000 But the fact of the matter is, yeah, there are, of course, this is what's crazy, I think.

00:51:27.000 Every time you're going to have any kind of negative thing happen to a country like America, it's going to disproportionately affect some race. 0.53

00:51:35.000 Maybe it's this race this time, it's this race the other time, whatever it may be.

00:51:38.000 I mean, this isn't news.

00:51:39.000 Right.

00:51:40.000 Like, I mean, you know, sickle cell or, you know, Indian Americans. 1.00

00:51:44.000 Tech support is no longer needed.

00:51:47.000 Reg just sent us an article from the New York Post here.

00:51:51.000 McDonald's in China apologizes for signing banning black people amid coronavirus.

00:51:59.000 Well, Bill, I think you owe Gerald an apology.

00:52:03.000 What?

00:52:04.000 I said 10 out of 10 people were racist.

00:52:07.000 Thank you, Reg.

00:52:09.000 Can you imagine that?

00:52:10.000 That is unbelievable! 0.99

00:52:11.000 The sign just says, uh, no black people! 0.99

00:52:14.000 When I find out that that sign was on friggin' Gerald's wine store, and they just photoshopped it together... Even right now the ghost of Crow is going, that seems severe. 0.99

00:52:26.000 No good.

00:52:27.000 That's a little much.

00:52:28.000 And that's what happened why dogs are now excluded from the list for human consumption.

00:52:32.000 They needed the German Shepherds.

00:52:34.000 They're having the federal stockpile of German Shepherds.

00:52:38.000 Don't eat!

00:52:38.000 They're too skinny.

00:52:39.000 We need!

00:52:40.000 Good lord!

00:52:41.000 Can we bring that back up?

00:52:42.000 I want to make sure that's not a fake.

00:52:45.000 Keep in mind, I'm doing this live.

00:52:47.000 Bring that back up.

00:52:49.000 That is, and we bring up the actual source, so I know this is not fake.

00:52:52.000 Right.

00:52:53.000 Chinese sign.

00:52:55.000 Let me pull it back up for a second.

00:52:56.000 I want to read the top part real quick.

00:52:58.000 If you can pull it back up, we got it.

00:53:02.000 McDonald's in China apologizes for sign banning black people amid coronavirus.

00:53:06.000 Several problems with this.

00:53:09.000 First off, obviously it's a problem, right?

00:53:12.000 Let's be clear.

00:53:13.000 The primary problem is that you banned an entire race of people.

00:53:17.000 Not cool.

00:53:17.000 For no reason.

00:53:18.000 But just from a strategic standpoint, what you should have said was, was nothing.

00:53:24.000 What you should have said when someone took you aside and said, Well, here's the sign. 0.97

00:53:29.000 So, we've been informed that from now on, black people are not allowed to enter the restaurant. 0.97

00:53:32.000 We've been informed! 0.98

00:53:32.000 hope that nobody notices. Just play the numbers game that there likely wasn't a black person 0.98

00:53:36.000 who saw that sign in China yet.

00:53:38.000 Well, here's the sign. So, we've been informed that from now on black people are not allowed 1.00

00:53:43.000 to enter the restaurant. 0.99

00:53:44.000 We've been informed!

00:53:45.000 For the sake of your health, consciously notify the local police for medical isolation.

00:53:50.000 I love how they pass the racist buck.

00:53:54.000 We've been informed.

00:53:56.000 It's out of my hands! 0.99

00:53:58.000 Black people, black, white palms. 1.00

00:54:01.000 Weird. 1.00

00:54:01.000 Call the police. 1.00

00:54:03.000 It's weird.

00:54:05.000 I like that it's clearly a Google Translate.

00:54:07.000 I've seen enough of that.

00:54:10.000 It's Google Translate racism.

00:54:14.000 Like my high school Spanish class where I just used Google Translate even though they told me I shouldn't use Google Translate and I was flunked immediately.

00:54:22.000 Because you used technology.

00:54:23.000 China.

00:54:25.000 Anyway, I don't even remember what we were talking about.

00:54:27.000 Let's do the update here really quickly.

00:54:31.000 Thank you Reg for making my morning.

00:54:33.000 Thank you Reg.

00:54:35.000 Of course, President Trump yesterday talked about reopening America.

00:54:38.000 It's a three-phase kind of solution.

00:54:40.000 There are guidelines, and we can probably bring up some of these.

00:54:42.000 The first phase involves really opening up, kind of like what we've talked about here, determining what is non-essential, but kind of starting to reverse it, going, okay, more people can get back to work than not.

00:54:55.000 People who are vulnerable, the elderly, obviously they shouldn't be going to work. 1.00

00:54:58.000 The first phase is still trying to do a lot of work by computer, what do they call it, telecommunication work?

00:55:04.000 Is that the term?

00:55:05.000 Well, telecommuting, remote work, etc.

00:55:06.000 Remote work.

00:55:07.000 So they still want to encourage that.

00:55:08.000 Gatherings of 10 or less still.

00:55:10.000 So before any changes right now where states where they are not riddled with this pandemic right now, they can implement these.

00:55:15.000 That still means 10 or less, social distancing, all of those guidelines apply in public areas.

00:55:21.000 No gatherings for sports games.

00:55:24.000 I don't know exactly what else.

00:55:25.000 I don't have all of it in front of me, but you can read it online.

00:55:27.000 Couldn't be more reasonable.

00:55:28.000 Schools stay closed.

00:55:29.000 And I want to be clear about, because the way the media is portraying it is as though there are doctors and scientists and then the people who just want to open the floodgates and let all hell break loose.

00:55:41.000 That's not what the plan is at all.

00:55:43.000 And I guarantee, and this is why they don't want to run the press briefings on CNN.

00:55:47.000 They say, this is propaganda.

00:55:48.000 I was hearing, I think Wolf Blitzer, could be John King, whoever it is.

00:55:53.000 Whichever personality void with white hair was on CNN at that moment, whatever cosmic personality vapid wormhole it was, they said we are no longer going to air these press conferences as long as he continues to run propaganda.

00:56:06.000 The only purpose for these press conferences is to inform and assist the American people.

00:56:10.000 Like providing a three-phase plan that allows 22 million unemployed Americans to get back to work in a safe and reasonable manner?

00:56:19.000 Here's why they don't want to run that press briefing.

00:56:23.000 Because the vast majority of Americans, guarantee you, including Democrats, would read this three-phase plan.

00:56:30.000 These guidelines go, oh, that seems totally reasonable.

00:56:33.000 Masks?

00:56:33.000 Ten or less?

00:56:34.000 Okay, basically they're just saying that people who want to go back to work and there's no risk in states where there is no risk, they can start doing that.

00:56:41.000 Then you have phase two, where it gradually increases it.

00:56:44.000 And only when you get to phase three do you have sporting events and back to normal.

00:56:48.000 Three phases.

00:56:49.000 If the American public heard that, guess what?

00:56:51.000 This narrative that's been set of science and doctors versus someone like Donald Trump who knows nothing about this and only cares about the economy and giving all the money to Jared Kushner, It doesn't stand anymore.

00:57:01.000 It doesn't hold water.

00:57:03.000 What I want you to do is send these guidelines right now.

00:57:06.000 We have them up at, I believe, CNN.

00:57:07.000 Send them to everybody.

00:57:09.000 Send those guidelines.

00:57:10.000 Send them the plan and see what they think and have them criticize what's wrong with it.

00:57:14.000 Is this what's happening?

00:57:15.000 Is this the Surgeon General?

00:57:16.000 Yeah, he's talking about him saying states can reopen right now if they want to.

00:57:20.000 Right.

00:57:20.000 That makes perfect sense for you to be able to determine what is going on in your state.

00:57:24.000 So we obviously give Michigan a hard time for going way too far one way, but states like Wyoming and other states that don't have a huge population, don't have a ton of these viruses right now, not a lot of cases, they're already spread out as it is.

00:57:36.000 Why would you close them down?

00:57:37.000 Why not let them do what's right for them?

00:57:39.000 I do love the irony of how we've kind of swapped back and forth between, well I think the federal government should have done more, they should have exercised more power, we want to give Trump more power, wait a minute, but not Trump, but wait a minute, but you should have done more, but now we're going to do it on our own, and we don't think you should open, and you don't have unfailing power, and you're not omnipotent, and you can't control us, but we're going to reopen.

00:58:01.000 And hey everybody, go down and eat in Chinatown! 0.96

00:58:04.000 Right.

00:58:05.000 I said de Blasio and Nancy Pelosi.

00:58:08.000 Well, here's the thing, too.

00:58:09.000 Think about it this way with politics, Bill.

00:58:11.000 If Trump comes out and says, look, you have reopened.

00:58:16.000 Do exactly what you want to do.

00:58:17.000 And Illinois and California and Michigan and New York and places like that don't reopen and everybody else does.

00:58:24.000 And we found out, oh, no, it actually worked out really well.

00:58:26.000 Those Democrat strongholds and there's nobody to hide behind at that point because he just deferred to you and said, do what you want.

00:58:32.000 tell you this. You're on the hook now. And of course I don't mean this literally. But

00:58:36.000 we've talked about this. We've asked this question before.

00:58:39.000 If at any point there's ever a reasonable expectation of someone protecting their rights

00:58:43.000 by using their second amendment.

00:58:45.000 Yeah. If a man is out in a rowboat in Wyoming, on a lake in Wyoming with his wife fishing 0.81

00:58:52.000 and someone pulls up and wants to arrest him at gunpoint, that person should be met with

00:58:57.000 the sound of a shotgun. Not pulling the trigger, but someone out in a rowboat in Wyoming. There

00:59:01.000 There is no reasonable expectation.

00:59:03.000 It is.

00:59:03.000 No.

00:59:03.000 To walk in and tell that person, you are breaking the law right now.

00:59:07.000 It is, and to say otherwise is asinine. 0.94

00:59:11.000 To say that someone is unreasonable in Wyoming or Montana for saying, hey, listen, we're 0.95

00:59:16.000 in a very rural, there's not a person for 50 miles.

00:59:19.000 This is my own acreage.

00:59:20.000 We've taken precautions.

00:59:21.000 I'm going out in the pond and ba-ra-ra-ra-ra. 1.00

00:59:24.000 I can't think of, it is amazing because if you think of the policies that the American

00:59:28.000 media wants to mirror here, it's that of communist China.

00:59:31.000 It is.

00:59:32.000 All examples they've pointed to, South Korea.

00:59:34.000 Now they did some other things, they paired it up with the private sector, but they don't talk about that with the tests.

00:59:37.000 They praise them for contact tracing.

00:59:38.000 Well the way they did it in South Korea was by doxing their citizens effectively. 0.76

00:59:42.000 China.

00:59:42.000 Well the way they did that was by lying about the statistics!

00:59:45.000 So if you're going to tell us that we're not doing enough because we're not acting like communist authoritarian regimes like China or other countries, our allies, great churches, phones that explode, so you take some, you lose some, but South Korea, still far more paternalistic and authoritarian than the United States because of the history of their society.

01:00:03.000 This couldn't be more reasonable, this plan right now.

01:00:05.000 Right, and newsflash, governors of states don't have absolute power.

01:00:09.000 Bill, I don't know what the law is.

01:00:12.000 Oh, I wasn't doing the Star Wars.

01:00:13.000 I was doing the E.T.

01:00:13.000 Brotherhood.

01:00:15.000 There you go.

01:00:15.000 I like that.

01:00:16.000 That's good.

01:00:17.000 But Bill, you could maybe speak to this, but you're not required to follow an unlawful order.

01:00:23.000 I don't know if that's... Yeah, you are.

01:00:25.000 Are you?

01:00:25.000 Yeah.

01:00:25.000 No.

01:00:26.000 Yeah.

01:00:26.000 No, you're not.

01:00:27.000 Yeah, you are.

01:00:27.000 I would argue till I die that that is... You know why I'm going to say yeah, you are?

01:00:31.000 Why?

01:00:31.000 Because when you're dead, it's not going to matter whether it was unlawful or not.

01:00:34.000 So, here's the practical thing, right?

01:00:35.000 No, no, no, I mean people enforcing the law, not the citizens.

01:00:38.000 Look, I'm going to tell you right now, if a cop gives you an unlawful, I'm going to give you an unlawful order.

01:00:44.000 Let's say the sheriff tells his deputy, I want you to go and do this thing.

01:00:48.000 And the deputy goes, okay, I'm going to go out and do it.

01:00:49.000 And the citizen says, I'm not going to follow it.

01:00:51.000 And they go, nope, you know what I'm going to do? 0.92

01:00:52.000 I'm going to pull a gun on you, cop. 1.00

01:00:54.000 You're going to get shot. 1.00

01:00:56.000 Hold on a second. 0.97

01:00:57.000 I'm just giving you an example.

01:00:57.000 No, I know, but I'm bridging the racial divide here.

01:01:01.000 Half of me agrees with Gerald.

01:01:05.000 No, what he was saying is, for example, like the sheriffs in Leelanau County and Manasseh County.

01:01:10.000 Sheriffs can say, we're not going to follow the governor's decree right now.

01:01:14.000 Correct.

01:01:14.000 Or police officers, what he's saying, can refuse to.

01:01:17.000 Now, there might be consequences.

01:01:19.000 They could lose their job.

01:01:20.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:01:21.000 Message to sheriffs out there, because I know we have a lot of sheriffs who are fans.

01:01:24.000 Look at what they did.

01:01:26.000 I'd like to see more sheriffs out there saying, no, no, no, listen, we're not going to arrest husbands and wives for kissing in public. 0.99

01:01:32.000 We're not going to arrest people for jogging on the beach.

01:01:35.000 That's something that sheriffs can do.

01:01:37.000 Now there can be repercussions.

01:01:38.000 So there's two different aspects.

01:01:39.000 One, there's the autonomy that officers have about whether to consider something to be an offense in the same way that there's a prosecutorial discretion, right?

01:01:48.000 How is it that we can decide, well, we're just not going to always prosecute these crimes?

01:01:52.000 Regardless of whether you get the evidence, you just decide it's not important to do.

01:01:55.000 Now, the other aspect of that is this.

01:01:57.000 I think this is what you were getting at. 0.99

01:01:58.000 I was giving you shit earlier, Gerald. 0.98

01:02:00.000 But the point is that if you are a sheriff or a mayor or a governor and you decide to disobey the law, there's no part of the Constitution that says, well, if you feel strong enough about the law, you can just disobey it. 0.99

01:02:14.000 There will be consequences from it.

01:02:16.000 Especially if it proves to be a lawful order.

01:02:17.000 you'll have to...

01:02:18.000 I have a question.

01:02:19.000 By the way, we're probably going to go over time today.

01:02:22.000 So stay with us, of course, if you're watching here.

01:02:24.000 I think we go over time on the Blades.

01:02:25.000 I have a burp right now.

01:02:26.000 I wish I didn't talk.

01:02:27.000 Let me say one more thing.

01:02:28.000 Someone save me.

01:02:29.000 The reason that I brought that up was because in situations where you have an authoritarian

01:02:33.000 uh, some kind of an authoritarian overreach.

01:02:35.000 What you depend on is people not following unlawful orders that are enforcing the law.

01:02:41.000 That is the safeguard that we have from somebody in Michigan.

01:02:44.000 Let's say that she went even further.

01:02:45.000 The only safeguard we have is the sheriff's going, no, we're not going to go around and enforce this law other than the people rising up and banding together against it.

01:02:53.000 Exactly.

01:02:54.000 And that's actually one of the things that is, and history has borne itself out.

01:02:57.000 You see sheriffs in a lot of different instances throughout.

01:03:00.000 American history who have stood up and other other political figures as well who have stood up and said I'm

01:03:05.000 not going to follow Right certain rule and they have put themselves at risk

01:03:08.000 because the court may later determine that they were wrong Yeah, it happens

01:03:11.000 but without that test and and that's the thing is is I do want to impress upon why it isn't lawful because

01:03:18.000 By doing something that's not lawful. It shows how much they're actually risking

01:03:23.000 Yeah to do what they think is right Because without having done that thing, they won't lead to a legal challenge, or they won't have been punished and then have the forum to be able to take it to the court and resolve it in their favor.

01:03:33.000 So it is unlawful.

01:03:35.000 It is a big risk.

01:03:36.000 But they're doing it for the people.

01:03:37.000 By the way, let's be really clear here.

01:03:42.000 Your act of disobedience, if you are an officer, is just not arresting a father for pushing his kid on a swing.

01:03:47.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:03:48.000 That's a low bar.

01:03:50.000 That's a local hero story, okay?

01:03:52.000 Plus the local news need a bailout so they could benefit from it.

01:03:55.000 They want a few clicks.

01:03:56.000 Uncle Sam's none the wiser.

01:03:58.000 She's already getting sued, by the way, the Michigan governor.

01:04:01.000 She's already being sued by, I believe, four lawsuits right now.

01:04:06.000 Happened overnight.

01:04:06.000 Say it again?

01:04:07.000 Four lawsuits.

01:04:11.000 Okay.

01:04:11.000 We need a new robe!

01:04:14.000 We gotta wipe the chair. 0.96

01:04:17.000 Who has to clean under the desk? 1.00

01:04:21.000 It's like a Wuhan lab under there.

01:04:25.000 No, I just mean that I coughed.

01:04:27.000 Yeah, what do you mean?

01:04:29.000 By the way, hit the notification bell.

01:04:31.000 Hit all notifications if you are subscribed because subscriptions don't mean a whole lot.

01:04:35.000 And of course, do join my club.

01:04:37.000 $30 off is a promo code quarantine.

01:04:38.000 I can't remember.

01:04:39.000 I was going to say something.

01:04:40.000 I don't remember what it was, but I would like to suggest that.

01:04:43.000 Oh, that was what I was going to ask you.

01:04:45.000 So a police officer, for example, let's say in a hypothetical scenario, let's say me and an employee here.

01:04:52.000 Use the registered sex offender search to find pedophiles who live on corner lots so that we don't disrupt the neighborhood and honk near their house late at night.

01:05:01.000 Would a police officer be within his rights to, for example, give me a warning rather than any kind of an official infraction?

01:05:08.000 They have discretion to decide whether you're actually violating the law or not.

01:05:12.000 And would that be honking at pedophiles' houses, corner lots, illegal?

01:05:18.000 Doesn't sound like it.

01:05:21.000 But it depends how loud your horn is.

01:05:23.000 Sounds like a date!

01:05:24.000 Johnny boy, Friday night.

01:05:25.000 We know what we're doing.

01:05:27.000 We're going to stay up late.

01:05:28.000 You guys are going to start a trend.

01:05:29.000 Can I ask a quick question?

01:05:30.000 What?

01:05:31.000 When did the lieutenant governor in Pennsylvania come from the UFC?

01:05:34.000 I mean, look at this guy.

01:05:35.000 That's true, yeah. 0.63

01:05:36.000 Russian mob boss. 0.83

01:05:37.000 Could be a biker guy. 0.97

01:05:38.000 Yeah, he's a Russian mob. 0.77

01:05:40.000 I love it. 0.87

01:05:40.000 Look at that terrible beard. 0.87

01:05:41.000 And clearly he's able to shave his mustache, so he deliberately got this, like, spatula beard.

01:05:47.000 John King is sitting there like, what is this?

01:05:50.000 Talk about a race to the middle. 0.89

01:05:53.000 What's your plan with the stay-at-home order, Pennsylvania governor? 0.99

01:05:57.000 First, I'm gonna throw an overhand right and then he'll hook the shit out of it! 1.00

01:06:02.000 Why is it a badge of honor right now to not take care of your facial hair and dress poorly for interviews nationally? 0.99

01:06:08.000 No, he is taking great care of that facial hair.

01:06:11.000 That is premeditated.

01:06:12.000 That is on purpose.

01:06:13.000 That is walrus chic.

01:06:15.000 It's obvious he shaved the mustache.

01:06:17.000 He left the beard.

01:06:18.000 He apparently has no dress clothes at home.

01:06:21.000 He reminds me of a French-Canadian who got things a little late, like he just got Orange County Chopper and he's trying to look like the Tuttles. 0.98

01:06:26.000 It doesn't work with the egg-shaped head.

01:06:29.000 There was a funny story that there was a judge, a state court judge, who just went off the rails at some lawyers because he was like, You're at home.

01:06:40.000 Your clothes are at home.

01:06:42.000 The dress clothes you would normally wear to court.

01:06:44.000 So if you show up in Zoom one more time in a robe, I will hold you in contempt.

01:06:51.000 I love that judge.

01:06:52.000 I mean, even if you ran out of pants, just sit behind a desk and put the shirt on.

01:06:58.000 I mean, I'm wearing a shirt under this robe.

01:07:00.000 I know, he refused to wear the robe.

01:07:02.000 He didn't want to.

01:07:02.000 He's like, come on, half-Asian Bill, I want you to have as much fun as the rest of us.

01:07:05.000 By the way, some new evidence as far as a quick story to get to.

01:07:12.000 People are starting to accept the idea that the virus likely came from a Wuhan lab, which you talked about on this show, but because I'm not Asian, I was like, well, let's not spread conspiracy theories.

01:07:22.000 You know, only Washington Post corroborated me last night.

01:07:25.000 That's fine.

01:07:25.000 No big deal.

01:07:26.000 But you were saying this weeks ago.

01:07:27.000 You were way ahead of it.

01:07:28.000 Yeah, like a month ago.

01:07:29.000 How do you know this?

01:07:30.000 Because you told us before our city went into lockdown, you told us before the national order. 1.00

01:07:36.000 We made a very stupid move. 0.83

01:07:38.000 He was like, hey, there's going to be a national stay-at-home, I always forget the name, stay-at-home order. 1.00

01:07:42.000 Shelter in place.

01:07:43.000 Shelter in place, that's right.

01:07:44.000 Take care of whatever you need to.

01:07:46.000 And Johnny Boy and I stocked up on gas.

01:07:51.000 Actually, Johnny, do me a favor.

01:07:52.000 Bring the gas cans in here.

01:07:54.000 Do that so we can show people.

01:07:55.000 Yeah, yeah, I want them to bring them in.

01:07:56.000 We stocked up on gas.

01:07:57.000 Yeah, we thought there would be a gas shortage.

01:07:59.000 It's literally the cheapest, most available commodity ever.

01:08:02.000 Yeah, it's everywhere.

01:08:02.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:08:03.000 Thanks Saudi Arabia.

01:08:04.000 Oh my god, we filled up all our cars.

01:08:06.000 We didn't know that we should have just been buying wet wipes.

01:08:09.000 I know, right.

01:08:09.000 You can sanitize your hands with it.

01:08:10.000 They drove past four toilet paper stores to get the gas.

01:08:13.000 Yes!

01:08:13.000 There's a toilet paper store?

01:08:14.000 There are toilet paper stores exclusively.

01:08:17.000 And we drove past.

01:08:18.000 And you know what?

01:08:19.000 I think that my love for QuickTrip blinded me at that point.

01:08:22.000 It did.

01:08:23.000 Which, by the way, they still have water at QuickTrip.

01:08:25.000 They still have some toilet paper at QuickTrip.

01:08:26.000 Shirley, stop. 1.00

01:08:27.000 QuickTrip! 0.69

01:08:27.000 Sponsor this show! 0.69

01:08:29.000 I hang out!

01:08:29.000 I'll broadcast!

01:08:31.000 I only want to eat at your locales.

01:08:35.000 Only your roller food.

01:08:36.000 I made that mistake after the stay-at-home order.

01:08:41.000 I don't know which live stream we were doing, but I went to Quick Trip and ate one of those beef, what is it, buffalo chicken and cheese.

01:08:49.000 Nobody really knows.

01:08:50.000 It was sitting in the roller, and I asked the guy, I said, I was actually pressured to do it.

01:08:54.000 I was peer pressured by the clerk at Quick Trip.

01:08:57.000 That's called an upsell.

01:08:57.000 Coming out of my mouth sounds so bad.

01:09:00.000 We got some gas cans coming in.

01:09:02.000 Look at this!

01:09:02.000 This is what we... Look at this!

01:09:04.000 Look at it!

01:09:05.000 Well, don't put it on the red chair or red can.

01:09:07.000 We can just bring it in here and put it on the carpet.

01:09:08.000 Nah, it's not a fire hazard.

01:09:10.000 Alright, let's show them it all.

01:09:11.000 So we literally came in... How did Ladder with Crowder burn down?

01:09:14.000 And we bought nothing but gas.

01:09:16.000 Shocking.

01:09:17.000 We had to make a call, and we made the worst possible decision.

01:09:20.000 Well, your wife actually tweeted me when you got this information.

01:09:23.000 She's like, hey, I'm just saying.

01:09:24.000 Like, this is going to happen.

01:09:25.000 No, she messaged you.

01:09:26.000 Oh, text.

01:09:26.000 Yeah, you're right.

01:09:27.000 Sorry.

01:09:27.000 Yeah, there's a big difference.

01:09:28.000 I said the wrong T word!

01:09:30.000 Yes, you're going to go incognito with an at reply.

01:09:34.000 This egg.

01:09:35.000 I wanted to make sure that I kept it on the radar, so I put it on the church bulletin next to guitar lessons.

01:09:43.000 So you know why I know, right?

01:09:44.000 Every time I joke that I'm a Chinese spy, but I tell you and you guys think it's a joke.

01:09:51.000 A Chinese spy wouldn't be that connected with... What was that?

01:09:54.000 It was like a fish.

01:09:55.000 You looked like the fish in Super Mario World 2, the underwater level.

01:09:59.000 underwater. What were you doing? It's been a long.

01:10:05.000 But how do you know all these things?

01:10:07.000 Uh, you know, people know things.

01:10:09.000 Well, you should have warned me about the gas.

01:10:10.000 So, uh, Wuhan, turns out they did come.

01:10:12.000 Now, let me ask you this.

01:10:13.000 Do you think it was just an accident or do you think this was some kind of plan to create a biochemical tool?

01:10:18.000 Uh, I'm very convinced that this was part of an increased ramp up to study these particular viruses in a, in a facility that was not prepared to take the type of, um, Safety measures and precautions that would be required to keep it safe.

01:10:35.000 And when you increase the study of these types of diseases, you increase the risk that something's going to happen.

01:10:40.000 And why does it look more natural?

01:10:42.000 Again, the studies that are now coming out and the evidence that's coming out as people are studying disease, it's clear that it wasn't like someone tinkered in a lab and put it together and then like went out on the street and just coughed it on somebody, right?

01:10:53.000 through the testing of different animals as they are working on these coronaviruses, like prior SARS, which also had similar origins.

01:11:00.000 That's what's most sad to me, is I can't make SARS jokes anymore.

01:11:02.000 Yeah, I mean, well, when SARS 3 comes out, son of SARS, you know, SARS Junior, SARS Deceitful, I mean, we're gonna have more of these.

01:11:11.000 And the problem is, is when you have It didn't happen last year.

01:11:15.000 It didn't happen the year before.

01:11:16.000 But this was the year.

01:11:17.000 they have the other kind of circumstances that go along with it, bringing all these

01:11:21.000 animals together.

01:11:22.000 There's literally no worse place you could put a coronavirus studying lab than in Wuhan. 0.65

01:11:26.000 Right, in a densely populated city.

01:11:28.000 Hey, you know what?

01:11:29.000 It didn't happen last year.

01:11:30.000 It didn't happen the year before.

01:11:32.000 But this was the year.

01:11:33.000 It all came together at once.

01:11:34.000 Yeah, it was like their screw up leap year.

01:11:36.000 So, I've also read, and I cannot corroborate this, but there also is some circulating information right now at the time of this broadcast, which is Friday morning, that someone who worked there may have been selling the animals to wet markets to make extra profit after they were done with some of these experiments.

01:11:51.000 Oh, wow.

01:11:51.000 So, I don't know if that's true or not, but it makes sense because, you know, think about this for a second.

01:11:55.000 The Great Wall of China, right?

01:11:57.000 Breached three times.

01:11:58.000 You know how?

01:11:59.000 They bribe the guy at the toilet every time.

01:12:02.000 So they spend all this money on infrastructure and technology and creating this workforce and having everything be so regimented that they often don't instill the morality needed to make that work.

01:12:12.000 Now, on the flip side, we require a moral society to be a free society.

01:12:17.000 That's why the fundamental building block needs to be the nuclear family. 0.93

01:12:20.000 And then we believe in local churches and communities and in local government

01:12:24.000 and then state government for the federal government but the same thing

01:12:26.000 you know for you to have for you have the Great Wall of China to work or that

01:12:29.000 lab to work you got to make sure that no one's you know just having their

01:12:32.000 palm greased letting I don't know which one the Mongolians in whichever depending

01:12:36.000 on which instance we're talking about or selling the dog to a local wet

01:12:39.000 market to make a couple extra you know bucks

01:12:42.000 Yeah, well, I mean, at the very least, can you just not put it in the middle of a densely populated city of 10 to 15 million people?

01:12:49.000 Yeah.

01:12:49.000 That maybe is the first place to start while you're working out your protocols for safety.

01:12:53.000 Am I the only one who's always amazed, though, whenever I see, like, Japanese countryside?

01:12:58.000 I'm like, there's countryside?

01:13:00.000 It's so small and there's so many people.

01:13:01.000 It can't be that big.

01:13:02.000 You know what's just as shocking?

01:13:03.000 Just spread it out.

01:13:04.000 Western New Jersey is beautiful.

01:13:06.000 Yeah, no, it absolutely is.

01:13:07.000 People are like, oh no, I just thought it was six packs and oh yeah, whatever.

01:13:10.000 But no, it's beautiful.

01:13:11.000 I mean, it is actually like the other parts of the country.

01:13:13.000 Yeah.

01:13:13.000 And you fly into like Narita, the airport in Tokyo.

01:13:16.000 It's way, way, way outside of Tokyo.

01:13:18.000 You fly over the countryside in the mountains.

01:13:20.000 It's beautiful.

01:13:21.000 Right.

01:13:21.000 I didn't know that.

01:13:22.000 Wait, wait.

01:13:22.000 You said West New Jersey.

01:13:23.000 And then he switched to Japan.

01:13:24.000 No, no, no.

01:13:24.000 But I'm saying, like, in the same way that, like, outside of Tokyo, everyone thinks Tokyo, they think Japan.

01:13:29.000 Right.

01:13:29.000 Because that's what's depicted all the time.

01:13:30.000 But West, like, we get outside.

01:13:32.000 Yeah.

01:13:32.000 I was like Ohio.

01:13:33.000 There are areas near Cincinnati that are beautiful.

01:13:35.000 And then, of course, the one exception, which can't be argued, is Illinois.

01:13:39.000 There's nothing good.

01:13:39.000 There's Chicago, and then the rest of Illinois.

01:13:41.000 I've driven through the entire northern rain area.

01:13:42.000 And it's pick your poison.

01:13:43.000 Do I want to be in Chicago?

01:13:45.000 No.

01:13:45.000 But then I'm in the rest of Illinois.

01:13:47.000 So...

01:13:49.000 Yeah.

01:13:50.000 Just move to another state.

01:13:52.000 Finally, this is something I noticed.

01:13:55.000 We were talking about this on Wednesday, and we're going to get back to, again, we've placed our bets as to whether I can make it through ABC 20.

01:14:00.000 You can't even talk about it without laughing.

01:14:04.000 I don't know if I can do it.

01:14:05.000 You're doomed.

01:14:06.000 But this is remarkable.

01:14:07.000 So on Wednesday, we covered that story from ABC News about Donald Trump defunding who?

01:14:11.000 The World Health Organization, right?

01:14:12.000 And I just read a statement from someone in China.

01:14:15.000 So again, this is happening live, and I'm reading a statement about how disappointed some Chinese representatives are in the United States, no longer funding Hu.

01:14:22.000 This was at ABC News.

01:14:23.000 Then when I went home, I said, wait a second, wait a second, wait a second.

01:14:26.000 Was that, what's the guy's name?

01:14:28.000 Li Jiang Zhao?

01:14:30.000 Li Jiang Zhao?

01:14:31.000 Li Jiang, I think.

01:14:31.000 Wait, did I just read a quote on air without even realizing that was the foreign minister on ABC News who they were quoting to condemn the president who spread the rumor that coronavirus was started by American soldiers?

01:14:44.000 And then I ran a couple of searches.

01:14:46.000 New York Times, Bloomberg, Washington Post.

01:14:48.000 Yeah, all of them in condemning Donald Trump.

01:14:50.000 Quote, the foreign Chinese minister who blamed coronavirus on the United States.

01:14:57.000 I couldn't believe that it didn't, it didn't hit me in time.

01:15:00.000 So to the point where I then went on Twitter to go see Li Zhao.

01:15:03.000 Can someone read it for me?

01:15:04.000 Li Zhao Zhang?

01:15:04.000 What is it?

01:15:05.000 Li Zhang Zhao.

01:15:06.000 How do you pronounce that?

01:15:09.000 Li Zhang Zhao.

01:15:10.000 It sounds like you're too Americanized.

01:15:12.000 So let's go.

01:15:13.000 Sorry, I know how to speak the American.

01:15:16.000 It affects my ability to speak Chinese.

01:15:17.000 I went on Twitter.

01:15:19.000 I went on Twitter.

01:15:20.000 He blocked me!

01:15:21.000 He's already blocked me for retweeting him saying like, uh, actually, and all I did was say, actually, coronavirus wasn't started by American soldiers.

01:15:27.000 He blocked me.

01:15:28.000 That's all I did.

01:15:29.000 You are making the rounds on the country's lists.

01:15:32.000 But I think I need to make some phone calls to writers and editors because either they do not know that they are quoting a communist propagandist who blamed the virus on American troops, or they do know and they ran it anyway because they would rather side with a communist propagandist against President Trump.

01:15:48.000 And by the way, could there be any more of an indictment on the World Health Organization than looking to someone in China for a statement and using the propagandist? 0.59

01:15:56.000 Alex Jones was kicked off of YouTube for Far less!

01:16:00.000 Far less!

01:16:01.000 Not saying I agree with the conspiracies at all, but I'm saying, could you imagine if this guy were some kind of American alt-writer?

01:16:06.000 There would be an article in New Yorker so fast it would make your head spin, with a picture of Philip DeFranco right next to it.

01:16:11.000 It is unreal to me that I went through every major source, and they include a quote from the communist propagandist who blamed, started, created, circulated the rumor that COVID was created by American soldiers, and the media, not one or two sources, Are entirely complicit.

01:16:31.000 These people are not your friends.

01:16:33.000 You cannot trust them.

01:16:35.000 The press isn't the enemy of the American people.

01:16:38.000 Just everyone who's working for it right now.

01:16:41.000 That's a pretty large group of people.

01:16:44.000 There couldn't be a more unifying factor for American people right now than to say that China has historically been a very difficult place for people to live and to have any kind of freedom whatsoever.

01:16:54.000 To say that they've been oppressed, that's easy.

01:16:55.000 And that the WHO is completely in bed with China. 0.84

01:16:58.000 It's obvious.

01:16:59.000 This isn't a fight worth fighting.

01:17:01.000 If you don't like Donald Trump, pick your spots better.

01:17:05.000 Because this is an easy one for everybody to get on board and say, neither one of these guys, China or the WHO, are worth defending.

01:17:10.000 They've done some really bad stuff and it's cost tons of people their lives.

01:17:13.000 Probably hundreds of thousands of people lost their lives because China lied. 0.53

01:17:16.000 It would be very different if they were apologetic.

01:17:18.000 Or bad.

01:17:19.000 That would be a start.

01:17:21.000 You blamed it on American soldiers for crying out loud.

01:17:24.000 You blamed it on the American military.

01:17:26.000 You knew it was going to happen.

01:17:27.000 It was going to come out.

01:17:29.000 I've been at a loss for words this week, honestly.

01:17:32.000 People think it's ret... No!

01:17:33.000 I think that they meet, not saying they're actual communists, though some of them, but they are communist sympathizers through their actions.

01:17:41.000 They talk about vetting sources and how important news is in this era of blogging.

01:17:45.000 Really?

01:17:46.000 Because bloggers make mistakes.

01:17:47.000 I've seen a lot of typos.

01:17:49.000 I get it.

01:17:49.000 I assume some of them are dyslexic.

01:17:51.000 But your source, when you talk about vetting, is an actual communist propagandist.

01:17:56.000 You're like, oh yeah, run that.

01:17:58.000 It's gotta be true.

01:17:59.000 Do you not have a copy editor or nothing with the billions of dollars over there at New

01:18:02.000 York Times, NBC News?

01:18:03.000 Are you too busy setting up whitewashed late night sets where they use the same jokes like

01:18:07.000 Seth Meyers and Stephen Colbert?

01:18:08.000 I am just amazed that this is what's going on right now.

01:18:11.000 And I'm amazed that you find yourself surprised that Donald Trump's approval rating is going

01:18:15.000 up and Americans don't trust you.

01:18:17.000 Maybe because you quote communist Chinese propagandists while telling them to eat in 0.98

01:18:22.000 Chinatown because all is well and it's Donald Trump's fault.

01:18:25.000 It is remarkable to me.

01:18:26.000 Okay, we are going to come back after this.

01:18:28.000 We're going to go to a quick commercial, a commercial for Black Rifle Coffee where I give you some coffee tips.

01:18:31.000 Then we will come back, place your bets as to whether we can make it through the Angie Arriola ABC News Gender Bender Special without laughing.

01:18:42.000 We'll be right back.

01:18:44.000 Here's the thing.

01:18:47.000 Grossonde.

01:18:49.000 I just isn't done that one.

01:18:52.000 The sun will move the green with the light of day.

01:18:54.000 And you're going.

01:18:56.000 It's time to get to work.

01:19:24.000 like a patriot.

01:19:25.000 Go to BlackRifleCoffee.com slash Crowder today.

01:19:28.000 It's a great place.

01:20:04.000 Steven Crowder here with Coffee Tips, sponsored by Black Rifle and Mug Club.

01:20:07.000 It's a match made in heaven.

01:20:08.000 So today we're gonna be using the Black Rifle Chemex, 10 cup Chemex.

01:20:12.000 I'm gonna take my filter, I put that on the side of the spout so it allows air flow.

01:20:17.000 Grind the beans, fresh beans, really important, whole beans.

01:20:19.000 Black Rifle ships them freshly roasted to your door.

01:20:22.000 Makes all the difference in the world.

01:20:26.000 Wet the paper filter.

01:20:27.000 That rinses out any paper particles, especially if it's from China.

01:20:30.000 And it warms the vessel.

01:20:32.000 And I cannot stress to you the importance of a good grinder.

01:20:35.000 Spend money on a good burr grinder.

01:20:37.000 That'll make all the difference in the world because consistency is key.

01:20:40.000 We ended up with about 34 grams.

01:20:42.000 Grab your calculator.

01:20:43.000 What's 34 times 16?

01:20:46.000 Half-Asian Bill let me know that it is 544 milliliters, grams, simple. 1.00

01:20:50.000 I am going to be pouring in 544 milliliters of water.

01:20:54.000 I'm going to bloom the coffee, and what does that mean?

01:20:56.000 You want to get everything wet, and it releases gases.

01:20:59.000 That's why you'll see it'll look kind of like a souffle.

01:21:01.000 Do you want good coffee, or do you want to drink cheap swill?

01:21:05.000 Souffle is not that bad.

01:21:07.000 You want to aim for a three, two and a half to five minute steep time.

01:21:12.000 So really simple, good coffee.

01:21:13.000 What do you need?

01:21:14.000 Water between 195-205, eight grams per five ounce cup, and you want it to sit in contact with that coffee for two and a half to five minutes, ideally three.

01:21:23.000 Now I'm going to pour the rest of this coffee, get it up to 544.

01:21:28.000 And now all I do is let it drain.

01:21:30.000 And three minutes and 50 seconds on the button.

01:21:34.000 This is where you can discard the filter.

01:21:36.000 And there you have it.

01:21:47.000 It's a world of difference.

01:21:48.000 Let me pour it.

01:21:50.000 And the test that really matters.

01:21:51.000 Try that on for size.

01:21:54.000 What?

01:21:55.000 I don't really drink coffee.

01:21:57.000 Oh boy! Wow!

01:22:09.000 There we go.

01:22:13.000 I don't know what that means.

01:22:14.000 We'll be right back.

01:22:15.000 I don't know what that means.

01:22:17.000 We'll be right back.

01:22:19.000 Back with the show?

01:22:20.000 Okay.

01:22:21.000 Go.

01:22:25.000 I remember we had a standing order at Fox to never talk about that Villarelli freakout.

01:22:30.000 Really?

01:22:30.000 So I did it at every opportunity, but not on the network.

01:22:34.000 How can you not address it?

01:22:34.000 It's so funny.

01:22:36.000 It's about as funny of a freakout as you can think of.

01:22:38.000 It is.

01:22:39.000 You just gotta own it if you're Bill.

01:22:40.000 Just be like, yeah, it was pretty funny, right?

01:22:41.000 No.

01:22:42.000 You can never talk about it with him.

01:22:43.000 No, I'm saying he should have.

01:22:44.000 He should have, but it would have gone away.

01:22:46.000 Yeah, I know.

01:22:46.000 But he still makes a point to say that you can't talk about it.

01:22:49.000 There's video evidence, Bill.

01:22:51.000 He also makes a point to send you unsolicited pictures.

01:22:54.000 He's like, well, this is a show.

01:22:56.000 It's a family show.

01:22:58.000 Oh, chat!

01:22:59.000 We do have one chat here.

01:23:00.000 We have several, but we'll do this one here.

01:23:02.000 Grant A. from Michigan.

01:23:04.000 Living in the Whitmer land, but thankful at least to be working from home so I can stream Mug Club in the morning.

01:23:09.000 Thanks for the extra content this month, guys.

01:23:11.000 Crowder, what's the biggest thing you miss about Michigan?

01:23:14.000 There's a capital M there.

01:23:16.000 So, I assume that was autocorrect.

01:23:18.000 I now know your wife's pet name. 1.00

01:23:20.000 So, I'm trying to think of the thing that I miss most in Michigan.

01:23:25.000 It probably is just summers by the lake.

01:23:28.000 And I miss the beer, for sure, at Grand Rapids.

01:23:30.000 The beer.

01:23:30.000 Fantastic.

01:23:30.000 Beer, food, lake.

01:23:31.000 When did Kid Rock start hosting this show?

01:23:33.000 I know.

01:23:33.000 That's what he's singing about.

01:23:34.000 He's singing about right where I got married.

01:23:37.000 So I have fond memories.

01:23:38.000 Or is that the only one we're reading?

01:23:39.000 That's fine.

01:23:41.000 No, no.

01:23:41.000 Let's go to... You said multiple chats.

01:23:43.000 Yeah.

01:23:43.000 He has them, but he only wants to do one.

01:23:45.000 We'll do that one.

01:23:45.000 Okay.

01:23:46.000 We'll just do that one?

01:23:47.000 Okay.

01:23:47.000 If there's anything juicy that I need to sink my teeth into... No?

01:23:51.000 Okay.

01:23:52.000 So, the closest thing we have right now... Uh-oh.

01:23:54.000 It's juicy.

01:23:55.000 Everyone buckle down for one more hour.

01:23:58.000 Let's go.

01:23:58.000 I mean titillate it. It's juicy.

01:24:00.000 Everyone buckle down for one more hour.

01:24:02.000 Let's go. Hit it.

01:24:04.000 Coffee!

01:24:06.000 Let's see. So Chloe asks, what are your opinions of women enlisting in the military? 0.97

01:24:08.000 Huh?

01:24:10.000 Also, which Bond film is best?

01:24:11.000 I don't know how those are related.

01:24:13.000 They watched Moonraker for the first time the other day and it was the worst.

01:24:16.000 Listen, Chloe, you get one question.

01:24:20.000 You're the kind of person who gets a genie and wishes for more wishes.

01:24:27.000 I have no problem with women enlisting in the military, provided that they aren't in violent combat roles if they don't meet the PTU requirements.

01:24:33.000 And I don't think we should be lowering them.

01:24:35.000 I think we should consistently be raising police and military requirements.

01:24:40.000 What about this question grabbed you, Wade, and said, this is the question?

01:24:45.000 Something about Moonraker.

01:24:46.000 It wasn't a bad show.

01:24:47.000 Moonraker thing.

01:24:48.000 Moonraker.

01:24:49.000 It wasn't a bad question.

01:24:50.000 We should have stopped the question once.

01:24:51.000 It's kind of funny.

01:24:52.000 Okay, so now we can go back to this, and I won't watch this.

01:24:56.000 Just so you guys, everyone can remember, I was just minding my own business watching

01:25:03.000 this special on Elizabeth Holmes' Theranos pops up, and ABC just thrust this before

01:25:11.000 me and acted like I shouldn't find it absurdly funny.

01:25:14.000 And I've never laughed this hard in my life.

01:25:18.000 So what we're gonna do is you'll see how this started, and then we'll see if I can watch it now and keep a straight face.

01:25:22.000 Alright, play the clip!

01:25:25.000 Just a reminder.

01:25:26.000 Don't look, Steven.

01:25:27.000 I don't want to see the clip.

01:25:28.000 No, do it.

01:25:29.000 Alright, let me know when I can come back.

01:25:31.000 Don't look, Steven.

01:25:35.000 I don't want to see the clip.

01:25:36.000 No, do it.

01:25:37.000 Alright, let me know when I can come back.

01:25:38.000 Not yet, almost.

01:25:39.000 Alright, Steven, come on.

01:25:40.000 Here we go.

01:25:41.000 Say it's now safe.

01:25:54.000 Like I said, I had to google if you could die from laughing.

01:25:56.000 I binged if you could die from laughing.

01:25:59.000 No.

01:25:59.000 You know you got that information.

01:26:01.000 You Netscape Navigator'd?

01:26:02.000 Yeah, because I was laughing on an inhale, so I had a spasm in my back all night.

01:26:06.000 Because I was breathing in, and then, and so you start laughing, and I go, and there was a guy who I knew when I was a teenager who laughed like that, and I hated him.

01:26:15.000 So then there were all these conflicting emotions.

01:26:18.000 I hated myself but I couldn't stop laughing.

01:26:20.000 So we're going to watch this today to see if the idea of Angie Nipple... Is it Angie Areola?

01:26:27.000 Ana Areola.

01:26:28.000 My mistake.

01:26:31.000 It's hard for me to keep track of the absurd stage names.

01:26:37.000 I confused her with Naomi Nipple. 1.00

01:26:40.000 That was back in my head.

01:26:44.000 Okay, so do we think we can make it through this without laughing?

01:26:48.000 No, no, no.

01:26:49.000 What were the bets?

01:26:51.000 I bet five dollars you would die.

01:26:53.000 Right.

01:26:54.000 So you're still alive, but there's now gas cans next to your desk.

01:26:58.000 He says that like Donald Trump yesterday saying, I knew some great people and now they're dead.

01:27:02.000 They're dead.

01:27:07.000 Look, I said this earlier.

01:27:09.000 Stop Gary Coleman!

01:27:10.000 You're number one, Gerald is number two, I'm number three.

01:27:13.000 Okay.

01:27:14.000 If either Gerald leaves, I go up to two, or you leave, I go up to two.

01:27:17.000 Alright, okay, so let's start watching this again and see if I can keep a straight face with Angela... Anna Areola.

01:27:26.000 Alright.

01:27:26.000 Was she selling you on the mission of Theranos?

01:27:30.000 How did she come across?

01:27:31.000 So you joined the board?

01:27:32.000 only saw me on a vision for what she wanted to do in this realm of blood testing and making 0.99

01:27:38.000 it something that was much more accessible than it's ever been.

01:27:41.000 So you joined the board. Pause, pause, pause. Oh, that's right, we can't pause. I was going

01:27:44.000 to say, you can't even see me on screen. His involvement attracted others from Apple to

01:27:47.000 join Theranos. Like Ana Ariel, who had helped design the iPhone. The opportunity was altruistic,

01:27:54.000 but not potentially humankind changing. It's Ursula. And I was very curious. Unfortunately,

01:28:03.000 We're just going to move on!

01:28:04.000 We're just watching a special!

01:28:05.000 the conversation is so awkward.

01:28:07.000 She's perched like an owl.

01:28:09.000 I'll look through this book while you film me.

01:28:12.000 Elizabeth was very curious about Steve's attire, and I explained to her that he was inspired by Steve's look.

01:28:18.000 We're just going to move on! We're just going to move on!

01:28:20.000 We're just watching a special! There's 20 minutes!

01:28:22.000 And then this just happens.

01:28:24.000 Mind manager.

01:28:25.000 your apparel. Is there still is there still down who you see me

01:28:30.000 I don't know.

01:28:30.000 But Ana says Elizabeth's transformation didn't end there.

01:28:38.000 Her voice what she could figure out a surprising baritone likely

01:28:43.000 cost her a few $1,000 to get these. Are they gonna bring back

01:28:47.000 on his fake? I hope according to Anna.

01:28:53.000 Speaking of surprising baritone...

01:28:55.000 I'm gonna throw up.

01:28:57.000 She fell out of character. 0.81

01:28:59.000 She should cast stones, really.

01:29:00.000 Her true voice. 0.99

01:29:05.000 And he's so, he's so bitchy. 0.97

01:29:07.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah. 0.93

01:29:08.000 It really is.

01:29:09.000 They just address the... Elizabeth?

01:29:12.000 No, no, don't, we have more.

01:29:13.000 I cut it, I cut it.

01:29:15.000 Because I remember the next part.

01:29:17.000 And I don't think I can, I don't think I can take the next part.

01:29:19.000 I remember, you guys haven't seen the next part.

01:29:21.000 I need to win this bet.

01:29:21.000 Keep it going.

01:29:22.000 That's awesome.

01:29:23.000 Like they only, what's funny is they only bring Anna Areola on.

01:29:28.000 Did I get it right?

01:29:28.000 Is it Anna?

01:29:29.000 Yeah, Anna. 1.00

01:29:29.000 Just to be a catty bitch. 1.00

01:29:34.000 Mark Elizabeth voice I feel like the pot calling a kettle black they're like I 0.99

01:29:39.000 know how to keep in character guys right well they're like who can we possibly

01:29:43.000 bring on to make fun of a woman's voice this is clearly and they want to look oh 0.89

01:29:49.000 yeah and Jerry Allah Yeah, what is, what does Angie have to say?

01:29:53.000 Say, ignore the, ignore the half, the half male packer involvement with the guess who perm that looks like, it looks like, it looks like our Bob Ross wig when we pull it out of the, out of the container.

01:30:07.000 It's all mashed down.

01:30:08.000 It is totally Ursula.

01:30:09.000 And then Damon, the glasses, and the, you can still see some stubble and clown lipstick.

01:30:15.000 And the, I don't know if you noticed this, the first scene, when I first saw it, I thought Anna Nipple was an amputee, because that shot, if you see, is just like this.

01:30:25.000 This is clearly entirely unnecessary commentary.

01:30:28.000 That's not fair, right?

01:30:29.000 If they had Anna Nipple on to talk about how the technology, I don't know, how it didn't react properly on a molecular level, sure. 0.88

01:30:38.000 She's either going to be like, on aerial, she's either going to be like, Elizabeth had a super shitty voice. 1.00

01:30:48.000 Not even believable. 0.56

01:30:50.000 I like it, I like it.

01:30:51.000 They're appealing to the TMZ audience, you know?

01:30:54.000 And I just wonder, like, was the editor at his bay when he was doing this 23 special?

01:30:58.000 Was he just at his bay, edit bay, like this, with the mouse, in this carpal tunnel?

01:31:03.000 Rishon, or was he like, oh my god, what is this?

01:31:08.000 The name is Nipple?

01:31:11.000 Make a lower third quick.

01:31:12.000 And here's the other layer of this that's funny.

01:31:15.000 It's like someone being prank called not realizing that Seymour Butz is a fake name.

01:31:22.000 Seymour Butz!

01:31:24.000 Don't ever call here again, kid!

01:31:26.000 Click.

01:31:26.000 But someone at ABC was like, Kyron Areola?

01:31:29.000 Got it.

01:31:30.000 How do you spell that?

01:31:30.000 It was Moe from The Simpsons.

01:31:32.000 Just like the part on the breast.

01:31:33.000 Yeah, exactly just like the part of the best. I guarantee you his name is not actually

01:31:38.000 Which then then my respect level goes to the roof The fact that they got the documentary to use the name Angelina Nipple is amazing.

01:31:50.000 This has got to be an epic troll.

01:31:51.000 It's Anna.

01:31:54.000 Anna.

01:31:54.000 And do hit, by the way, the notification bell.

01:31:57.000 If you've hit subscriptions and hit all notifications, because subscriptions don't mean a whole lot.

01:32:01.000 And please do join Mug Club. 0.91

01:32:03.000 I am actually... Promo code quarantine.

01:32:05.000 $30 off for the month of April.

01:32:07.000 Okay.

01:32:09.000 $30 off for the entire month of April.

01:32:10.000 Quarantine.

01:32:11.000 All right.

01:32:14.000 A good thing is I don't have the back spasm this time.

01:32:15.000 I was laying on the couch in a weird way, where you know when you get it right between your rib and your shoulder?

01:32:19.000 Yeah.

01:32:19.000 OK.

01:32:20.000 So I think I know.

01:32:21.000 This is the last clip, please.

01:32:22.000 Yes, this is the last one.

01:32:23.000 It is.

01:32:24.000 Because I remember this specifically.

01:32:26.000 This is the part of the video that you saw.

01:32:28.000 And you guys haven't seen this, so you don't.

01:32:31.000 I'm almost at this point.

01:32:32.000 I don't know if I'll be laughing, because I'll be curious as to if everyone here gets why this is so funny.

01:32:38.000 All right, let's see if I can hold it.

01:32:41.000 Elizabeth reacted swiftly and harshly, eliminating those who raised doubts.

01:32:46.000 There were posts from employees.

01:32:49.000 They equated it to a South American dictatorship or a drug cartel.

01:32:58.000 They assembled some of the best people that they possibly could get, and they just vanished.

01:33:04.000 I was one of the few people that stood up to her.

01:33:06.000 I've told her no on numerous occasions.

01:33:12.000 Numerous!

01:33:13.000 Of course you did!

01:33:15.000 You're a man!

01:33:18.000 Everyone was terrified of Elizabeth, but I messed her up. 0.92

01:33:25.000 Could you imagine if I were like, everyone here was intimidated by Too Cute Maddie, but I punched her right in the breast? 1.00

01:33:33.000 Yeah, I just walked it, I showed her who was Bob, and I dropped it. 0.88

01:33:37.000 She changed her name to Ariella after she punched her right in the tit. 1.00

01:33:40.000 Well, and you make yourself out to be the tough guy afterwards.

01:33:43.000 Oh, I said no multiple times.

01:33:45.000 I wasn't going to be pushed around by big old Elizabeth Holmes. 1.00

01:33:48.000 With her stupid voice. 1.00

01:33:49.000 With her stupid baritone voice. 1.00

01:33:51.000 With her stupid baritone voice. 1.00

01:33:54.000 This turtleneck pussy. 1.00

01:33:56.000 Can you... 1.00

01:34:03.000 We're right there.

01:34:06.000 We're right there.

01:34:07.000 Can you imagine a special?

01:34:09.000 Can you imagine a special where there's just some guy from HR who just like talking to ABC 2020 going like, yeah, everyone else was was really scared about from Elizabeth Holmes. 0.99

01:34:20.000 I fucked her up. 0.94

01:34:24.000 I said, boom, zoom, right to the moon, Elizabeth Holm. 1.00

01:34:27.000 They would never just show a domestic abuser in sort of like a catty, but ultimately kind of guilty fun type of character.

01:34:37.000 He's talking about intimidating a woman.

01:34:41.000 I said no multiple times.

01:34:43.000 Look, I think Amanda Nipps is great.

01:34:45.000 I think she adds a lot.

01:34:46.000 Amanda! 0.60

01:34:47.000 She's got a great character.

01:34:48.000 Her name is evolving.

01:34:49.000 It's excellent.

01:34:50.000 And then at the very last, we don't have the clip but we have to go, is I remember at the end they say should Elizabeth Holm be in prison and it ends with Anna Nipple saying like, should she go to prison?

01:35:01.000 Let me just say, should she be in prison?

01:35:06.000 Let me just say, orange is the new black!

01:35:12.000 You spoke the title of the most popular Netflix show that somehow made it past being renewed for three seasons, which is remarkable to make that budget work, but it's so popular that it's like on season six and just like, I shone her.

01:35:31.000 And you let me know what you think.

01:35:33.000 I still go back and forth, was ABC just that tone deaf or they just thought we'd all be like, oh yeah, sure, okay.

01:35:38.000 Or do you think that they were saying, we need to make sure that everyone eventually says, oh yeah, sure, Angie Nipple.

01:35:46.000 Thank you so much.
