Ted Nugent is on the show, Joe Rogan, Bernie Sanders, and we talk about the chloroquine fish tank. Plus, we do a Ted Nugent impression of the night before. This is the fourth episode of Good Morning Monoclub, hosted by John Rocha and Matt Knost.
00:06:12.000AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA With the, with the, with the, with the, with the, with the,
00:10:00.000And on CNN, you can expect them to say, of course, they were planning on hospital beds.
00:10:04.000However, they were only sent cots due to the administration's lack of foresight.
00:10:09.000Now, what can you say about the cots there, Dr. Sanjay Gupta?
00:10:12.000Well, as a practicing physician, cots are definitively less comfortable than surtas.
00:10:20.000It's a real shame that Donald Trump didn't have the foresight to take proper precautions and ensure that every American can have a sleep number over there in the hospitals.
00:11:43.000We're going to get to the exclusive call with the NBC member, which, by the way, she wrote the report, so her name, we didn't remove her name, the lady who wrote the report at NBC.
00:11:52.000Are they having Jersey Shore on CNN right now?
00:13:08.000And I don't know necessarily why he did it, but, you know, I know Joe.
00:13:11.000I wouldn't say we're necessarily close friends, but I said, Kind of a mistake.
00:13:15.000And I think now he's seeing why, because liberals had a meltdown over these, we have this clip, the recent comments that he made regarding Biden versus Trump.
00:13:25.000This is the real issue with the Democratic Party.
00:13:28.000They've essentially made us all morons with this Joe Biden thing.
00:13:48.000Joe Rogan did not say, he will vote for Trump.
00:13:51.000So in his defense, Joe Rogan, and I know there's always a lot of caveats, like, well, I'm pro-gun, but, well, I'm this, but, well, Donald Trump does this, but.
00:13:57.000He hedges everything that he has to say, and it's kind of sad to live in that world where you have to do it.
00:14:02.000But I do want to be clear, because people are attacking him for something that he didn't say.
00:14:07.000He said, I'd probably rather Trump than Biden.
00:14:10.000Which really isn't all that extreme of a statement when you consider that one of them has extreme dementia and shows up on stage like he drank a bucket of salt water right before emerging from his hut.
00:14:21.000He's just like an empty suit right now.
00:14:24.000I don't know how anybody could put him up for a candidate in any election and vote for him.
00:14:27.000A couple of facts here really quickly.
00:14:29.000With Democrats, Biden leads Sanders by 22 points.
00:14:31.000And then when you look at Trump and Biden neck and neck, 55% of Trump voters very enthusiastic, Biden only 28%.
00:14:38.000And this is something that's important to what we're saying, hey, I would rather have Trump versus Biden.
00:15:03.000Then they created Creed, and I don't know why I'm in the minority where I think that Creed is an awful film, but it's like the pitch was, okay, listen, we're gonna take Rocky and remove all the likable characters and iconic music!
00:15:39.000But in this case, we don't necessarily have to look at a bunch of hypotheticals with Donald Trump and Joe Biden, because the one thing that obviously right now I saw, I just read an article, it's the coronavirus stupid.
00:15:53.000Because that's going to be the determining factor in the election.
00:15:55.000And as much as people want to say that Donald Trump has done a terrible job, I don't agree with that, we know for a fact that Joe Biden was against the travel ban, which Donald Trump pulled pretty early on, right?
00:16:05.000Now he flip-flopped just this last week and he said that, you know what, we do need the China travel ban.
00:16:19.000This is a time when people need to be able to stick together who like each other, and nobody goes better together than Chinese communists and Bernie.
00:16:27.000That's like peanut butter and jelly, which is really a hot combination when you think about it.
00:16:39.000I like peanut butter and honey and banana, but the point here is that's not really what's most important.
00:16:43.000It is remarkable to me that Bernie Sanders, before all this, you know, he talked about how Americans shouldn't have to compete against effectively slave labor in these other countries, and he was really kind Yeah.
00:16:53.000kind of a nationalist. So when people like Joe Rogan come out and say Bernie's been consistent,
00:16:57.000you can't catch him on anything, I go, well, hold on a second. I think a lot of people
00:17:00.000will be surprised when they see in the general, maybe even 60% of Bernie Sanders supporters
00:17:05.000go to Trump. I guarantee you it'll be closer to a 50-50 split than people think. All of
00:17:09.000his supporters are not going to go to Biden, just like they didn't go to Hillary Clinton.
00:17:12.000But the reason for that, I think, is that at one point in time, Bernie Sanders sort
00:17:15.000of espoused this American protectionism, which I don't entirely agree with, but it was tinged
00:17:20.000with a little bit of America first nationalism.
00:17:23.000Yeah, I could see him doing much better in a general than Biden, because think about
00:17:27.000If people are pissed off about the response to coronavirus, they're looking for somebody who exudes confidence and leadership.
00:17:34.000He's not putting sentences together very well on TV right now, so nobody's... I can't even read his own thoughts.
00:17:39.000The 28% was the amount of time that he's actually lucid.
00:17:41.000And that wasn't just when his people were supporting him, right?
00:17:43.000So it's just, there's no way he can stand up and say, I'm the guy to lead us through this challenge.
00:17:50.000Okay, I may have to hold my nose, but I'm going to vote for Trump, right?
00:17:52.000That's what you're pretty much going to see from other Dems.
00:17:54.000Well, you know, and I don't know, I mean, you probably just have to hold your nose if you vote for Biden, if you're there at the debate, because he poops.
00:19:45.000I wouldn't be surprised if behind closed doors Joe Rogan probably votes for Donald Trump over Joe Biden.
00:19:50.000How does Joe Biden represent not only middle America, but how does Joe Biden represent anyone in the entertainment industry, the Hollywood elite?
00:20:09.000Is it maybe just this sort of amalgamate of people saying he's the only one who can run, he's the only one who can beat Donald Trump, and then people being nervous about Bernie Sanders because he is a far-left socialist, and so this is just kind of what we ended up with because it's his time, sort of like Hillary Clinton.
00:20:24.000I just don't know how they ended up here.
00:20:25.000And remember, everyone was saying this in the show, like, it's going to be Joe Biden.
00:20:28.000I said, it's going to be an old craze.
00:20:30.000crazy white guy at one point i said i don't know i think it'll be a heiress
00:20:34.000yeah i think maybe it'll be butt gig because i thought they needed to keep the whole
00:20:38.000first and instead we end up with not only a crazy old white guy
00:20:42.000but a crazy old white guy who makes Ron Paul look positively tepid
00:20:48.000it definitely does i do like his unerring support of push-ups right
00:20:53.000I mean, guy push-ups, lady push-ups, marine push-ups, push-up bras.
00:21:25.000The conspicuous absence here is something that even folks who want to vote for him or vote Democrat are saying, holy crap, is this really our guy?
00:21:34.000Yeah, it's just crazy to me the outrage that we saw with Joe Rogan over this.
00:23:01.000People are looking for a leader to kind of step forward, and his absence is conspicuous, but every time they have tried to put him out there, it only makes things worse for him.
00:23:08.000Like the last few interviews he's done on TV have just been progressively worse each time, and so I think the strategy for them needs to be just to stay out of the way and see if Donald Trump will take it on the chin for the rest of the response to coronavirus and then come back when this settles down because every time he goes out, I'm less confident in him being able to do anything.
00:23:25.000Wait, are you saying Donald Trump will take it on the chin?
00:24:34.000Because usually he's like, okay, he slipped it, maybe alright, okay, he was evasive, Donald Trump, that's his whole strategy, just sit there, take it on the chin, and then eventually give you one.
00:24:45.000I'm really interested to see Trump's second term, because the media's just run all of their options out, and I don't know what they're going to do for the next one.
00:24:53.000I wouldn't be surprised if he whipped out his Schwanson and took a piss right on Acosta's forehead.
00:25:36.000Joe Rogan, something else that people missed in that podcast.
00:25:40.000Do we really call them podcasts at this point?
00:25:44.000He said something else that I think is very telling.
00:25:46.000Donald Trump really hasn't aged much as president.
00:25:49.000When you compare it to George W. Bush, when you compare it to Barack Obama, I mean, it could just be because he tans and he dyes his hair, but as far as energy, like he went in where people were saying this is an old person who's incompetent, and right now they're still just saying he's an old person who's incompetent, but then they trot out Joe Biden.
00:26:05.000Okay, maybe you don't really care about old and or incompetent.
00:26:10.000And that's something he's gotten flack for too, just objectively saying that Donald Trump really hasn't aged all that much.
00:26:17.000I didn't really think about it until Joe Rogan said it.
00:26:19.000Think, he's tweeting just as much, he's out there right now, he's doing press briefings every night.
00:26:23.000He's still as spicy as he's always been, yeah.
00:26:25.000Who is, oh my god, why do we have, it's a Q-tip!
00:26:28.000$78 to $72 is where we think we have enough ventilators to get us Across New York State, more than half in NYC.
00:26:35.000By the way, one other thing, I don't know if we have a source for this to bring it up, but we'll move on to the NBC call, or we can actually go to chat in a little bit, but they're counting every single death in New York City, in New York State, that involves COVID at all as a coronavirus death.
00:26:49.000And that, to me, is really bothersome.
00:26:51.000In other words, if someone has leukemia, a heart condition, pneumonia, and then, at the end of all that, they test positive for a coronavirus that's being listed as a corona death.
00:27:00.000Some people, I don't think this is true, there were rumors circulating that even people who die like in car accidents who test positive for COVID are listed.
00:27:08.000I would tend to believe that it's not true.
00:27:09.000However, the idea of really listing one primary cause of death, even though there are severe comorbidities, that is not in line with the standard and how we always measure deaths across this country.
00:27:21.000If someone has leukemia, if someone has severe cancer, you know, and they're undergoing chemotherapy, and then they also happen to get influenza, we don't list that as an influenza death.
00:27:30.000Yeah, they're not drawing a distinction between dying of COVID and dying with COVID.
00:27:37.000I mean, everything that's geared right now Yeah.
00:27:40.000hysteria, the resources, etc. Everyone is geared towards, yeah, it's one, you get to
00:27:46.000blame Trump. The higher the numbers are, the better it gets to be. And I don't think that
00:27:50.000that's everyone, right? I'm not saying the coroners down there, switching them all over.
00:27:55.000But there are, we have to take these numbers with a grain of salt to say, how are we actually
00:28:00.000interpreting it? And what are we going to do from a policy perspective as a result of
00:28:03.000And if every single person is like, well, let's just go ahead and put this guy down, too, even though he was about to die anyways.
00:28:10.000What I want to know, too, is if these people who had died, who had all these other things going on as well, if they had gotten the regular flu, or if they had gotten really anything Would that have been the tipping point with anything?
00:28:19.000Or is it that, you know, COVID-19 is so severe that it killed them?
00:28:23.000Like, I think it matters how these people would have fared with regular flu that would go around every single year.
00:28:30.000Something that is undeniable though is the fact that the...
00:28:33.000You have a better chance of getting on chloroquine early on with a Z-Pak than you do of not using it and praying for the best with a respirator.
00:28:40.000Sorry, not a respirator, a ventilator.
00:28:42.000And Donald Trump said that, and people were saying, oh my gosh, how heartless is he?
00:28:46.000I don't think we've ever seen a more anti-science-driven media right now when they're talking.
00:28:51.000Now, no one here in this room has said chloroquine absolutely works.
00:28:54.000We've said that the clinical data that is available both in vitro and in vivo, and then you look at the anecdotal evidence, is pretty positive at this point, and it should certainly Yeah.
00:29:03.000be provided as an option and now it is provided as an emergency treatment from the FDA, a medical option.
00:29:08.000The other side of the aisle right now, they're saying there is no proof, there's nothing definitive
00:29:12.000at all. No, there is some, there is quite a bit of definitive proof by the way and you can't have
00:29:15.000it both ways because they're also right now, they're talking about shortages.
00:29:19.000This is something I was seeing on CNN this morning, where they're saying, you know, the problem with this, too, is if we stockpile it, people who need it, who have lupus or rheumatoid arthritis, who've been taking this for years, won't have access to it.
00:29:35.000You can say that you can make the claim that it is not fully tested in the way that a drug classically is when it comes to phase 1, 2, 3 clinical trials, specifically in its efficacy against coronavirus.
00:29:47.000What you cannot say is that this is an unsafe drug, that we're in uncharted territory, we have no idea how people will react.
00:29:54.000And by the way, we can't have a shortage because the hundreds of thousands of people with lupus and rheumatoid arthritis or malaria use it all.
00:30:02.000Is it a drug that's completely untested?
00:30:04.000Or is it a drug that has already been FDA approved, has a remarkable safety profile, and has been used for a litany of ailments for a long time now, and it delivers promise on this one that isn't entirely verified?
00:30:23.000They would have been yelling at them, like, this thing is out there, we use it for everything, why can't we try this?
00:30:27.000Donald Trump's keeping it from us, right?
00:30:29.000They had that ready to go, I guarantee you.
00:30:30.000I think all we need right now is Trump to come out and say, nope, no chloroquine, nope, nobody do anything with it, nope, we're not going to do it, and then overnight it's going to turn.
00:30:39.000Trump refuses to investigate important, you're going to get Chris Cuomo out there.
00:30:44.000Chris Cuomo's going to be bobbing him like Eminem.
00:30:47.000If I had only had the chloroquine, I would have been cured.
00:31:05.000You know they have to have like both sides of these arguments going like the Super Bowl where like the losing team stuff just gets sold over somewhere in China like they've got all these like placards for Donald Trump and all this stuff like he's saying that Chloroquine can't work and it can and they're like no we can't use that we gotta go with the other one guys.
00:31:17.000Hold on a sec you were about to say something there wait.
00:31:18.000Yeah I was just gonna say we have a chat from Natalie here.
00:31:21.000She has a question about the Joe Rogan thinks so.
00:31:25.000She says, I don't understand, but what is the difference between what Rogan is saying about Trump over Biden versus all the Bernie bros who did the same in 2016?
00:31:31.000So a lot of folks in 2016 pivoted from Bernie to Trump.
00:31:36.000And she's saying, what's the difference between that and what's going on with Joe Rogan?
00:31:41.000You know how I can prove that this is something that happened back then?
00:31:44.000We got a lot of flack, by the way, a lot of flack from those in the conservative media, from sort of the legacy outlets, the people like at Fox News, people who might be working for some of the major publications, and not unwarranted.
00:31:54.000They were saying, why are you focusing so much on Bernie Sanders?
00:31:57.000It seems like it's just because he's cannon fodder for comedy.
00:32:00.000Namely, the fact that this is primarily a comedy show, I won't lie and say that isn't taken into account, but at that point everyone was talking about Hillary Clinton.
00:32:09.000We had the analytics on YouTube, through Google, and of course at lottowithcreditor.com.
00:32:14.000A lot of people don't realize this, we get many, many, many millions of people who come in, traffic at lottowithcreditor.com, particularly at that point going into the election.
00:32:21.000So we had all this data, we were saying, hold on a second, we can see that a lot of people
00:32:24.000who are searching, who are pro-Bernie Sanders, actually are surprisingly turning up in a
00:32:29.000lot of this Trump-related content now that Hillary Clinton is going to be the candidate.
00:32:32.000So we always focused on Bernie Sanders back then because, this is how I've said it, and
00:32:36.000I will repeat it again, Hillary Clinton was the coronation, Bernie Sanders was the movement
00:32:43.000And people who were involved with a movement, and a big part of that movement was looking
00:32:46.000out for the American middle class first and being anti-establishment.
00:32:50.000They didn't go to Hillary Clinton and Joseph- They either didn't vote, or I would wager that a significant amount of them, more than have even actually come up in any kind of polling, went to Donald Trump.
00:33:00.000This is the exact same thing happening right now.
00:33:03.000I think that they are anticipating a voter turnout for Joe Biden that is highly unlikely, and I think they'll be surprised.
00:33:12.000Alright, so speaking of the Chloroquine stuff, we have to move on to this phone call.
00:33:14.000Then we have Ted Nugent in about 10 minutes.
00:33:33.000Her husband most definitely drank fish tank cleaner.
00:33:36.000Her husband died, right, and she gave the interview, go back and watch it where she said, we took it because we trusted Trump and nobody else should ever do the same.
00:33:45.000Well, that we went through, that was a story you were told, and there was some publicly available information, but the media was not interested in it, that she was a prolific Democratic donor, that she hated Donald Trump, this was well documented, and that she had a history of mental illness and violent outbursts.
00:33:58.000What was exclusive to us is that we found the court case where she was charged, ultimately found not guilty, but charged with domestic assault, and there were several different occasions where she wanted to divorce her husband and said that she was angry all the time.
00:34:12.000This was a woman who was sold as a pro-Trump lady who died taking fish tank cleaner with her husband when in fact she hated Donald Trump and she hated her husband.
00:34:22.000So we thought that this might be relevant to the original reporters at NBC.
00:34:26.000They co-wrote this story and we called them offering the evidence.
00:34:30.000This lady is um there were there was Vaughn I can't remember his name and then Erica Erika, what was her last name?
00:34:41.000If you search this and you go back to the original article, this is the one that was shared, like a virus, across all other mainstream outlets.
00:34:49.000So we tried to go directly to the source and see if the media wanted to do the journalism that their journalistic jobs typically entail.
00:35:16.000Well, I'm calling because I'm actually writing a story here, and I have some information from an anonymous source that I want to keep anonymous, and I know that you guys over there, obviously discretion is pretty important.
00:35:27.000It's regarding the woman who drank the fish tank cleaner, the chloroquine, which I believe, I was trying to find who wrote it, I believe you co-wrote it with Vaughn Hilliard?
00:37:03.000Did you — you guys, you know her name, and obviously it's public record.
00:37:08.000Most people don't have a name because I understand it's anonymous and rightfully so.
00:37:11.000I didn't, I actually didn't say her name, but I don't understand what you're... No, you didn't say her name, but I'm just saying I know her name.
00:37:17.000I was just confirming, that way I'm not letting the cat out of the bag.
00:37:20.000So you know the woman in question, and obviously you guys do great journalism there at NBC News, so I wanted to know if you had discovered, if you came upon this information or can confirm that she is a Democratic donor who gave to Hillary in 2016, repeatedly.
00:37:36.000Yeah, I don't know anything that's not even relevant to the story, quite frankly.
00:37:43.000Isn't it relevant because she said that she did it because Trump told her to?
00:37:46.000And there are multiple sources here that show she was virulently anti-Trump as an activist for a long time.
00:37:52.000So it seems peculiar that she would all of a sudden decide to take medical advice from Donald Trump when she also gave to pro-science, anti-right-wing, anti-science ideology, as it's stated here, non-profits.
00:38:09.000I mean, this sounds like it's your story.
00:38:11.000Well, I am asking if you knew this when you posted this story because it seems like it would be pretty relevant, no?
00:38:19.000That someone went out there saying no one should trust President Trump and she's a... I think that you have a specific story that you're trying to tell and that's totally cool.
00:38:33.000Are you aware about the assault case with her husband?
00:38:36.000That she mentioned divorcing her husband?
00:38:38.000Because this is a totally separate instance here.
00:38:41.000We're not talking about politics, but she openly wanted to divorce her husband, and we found the court documents of her being charged with assault against her husband, who died from drinking the fish tank cleaner.
00:38:58.000Well, let me ask, since you published the original story, would you be willing to correct the story since this is relevant information?
00:39:04.000Do you not see it as relevant information that a woman who went out saying she did something because she was a supporter of Trump, when we know that she's not, and she couldn't stand her husband?
00:39:57.000By the way, it should be noted we sent this email, I think we have a screenshot, to both her and the co-writer with verification, corroboration of the evidence, and no response.
00:40:55.000That's way more of an extreme example.
00:40:56.000Donald Trump didn't go out and say try to get your hands on legitimate chloroquine illegally.
00:41:01.000Donald Trump didn't go out and specify a dosage.
00:41:03.000Donald Trump said if you're in a hospital and you're not doing very well, before a ventilator, ask your doctor what can you lose at this point.
00:41:24.000It also plays into the narrative that a lot of folks want to say.
00:41:27.000It's the same argument that Hillary had when she called a basket of deplorables.
00:41:31.000You know, she's saying, look, take this entire group of people and look, here's another example of a Trump supporter not only trusting their fearless leader while he makes, you know, quote-unquote, gives bad advice, but also they are idiots, right?
00:41:44.000When in reality, this woman was actually pretty... She had a good little two-for-one going there.
00:41:49.000She not only got rid of the husband she didn't want to have in the first place, and she got to stick it to the candidate she doesn't like.
00:42:18.000Wouldn't be surprised if they're friends.
00:42:20.000You know, and here's the thing, I don't know how that necessarily works as far as some kind of an investigation.
00:42:25.000Separate from the news side of it, because this would be something that, would someone have to report that to local authorities?
00:42:32.000It seems like it would be more of a national kind of investigation considering it involves donations, a long-standing history with this organization.
00:42:38.000Well, I mean, the donations aren't a crime.
00:42:40.000No, no, they're not a crime, but in other words, it's something that involves national elections, where it's not, like, the evidence presented isn't just, well, she was horrible at the local supermarket.
00:42:48.000It's like, no, she tried to influence elections for a long time, and she hated her husband.
00:42:52.000No, I mean, influencing elections is literally what everyone does, whether they're trying to or not.
00:42:56.000They don't typically offer their husband to do it, though.
00:42:58.000But the crime itself is the crime itself, right?
00:43:00.000It's the same reason why there's no, like, why, you know, there's a significant argument against having hate crimes.
00:43:05.000It's because the crime itself is the crime.
00:43:56.000And that is the story they decided to run with.
00:43:58.000The only thing more appealing than Joe Tiger and Carole Baskin or making a murderer is if said murderer can be implicated as President Trump.
00:44:07.000I know, and it seems like unless the road leads back to Trump, it's not a story.
00:44:28.000I do like how Steven says Joe Tiger, because every time you say it, I start thinking you're saying Joe Biden, but then you're saying Joe Tiger, and then I'm like, oh wait, Joe Exotic?
00:46:39.000It smells like a deer covering scent and tapioca pudding because I know you like your snack packs and so that's a little tidbit most people don't know about.
00:47:02.000We're quarantined in our beloved home where there's freedom and a hint of constitutionality right here in Central Texas.
00:47:09.000We don't just live in China Spring, and Shemaine hates when I mention that, but you can Google where we live and if somebody wants to mess with us, I'll send you my itinerary.
00:47:20.000We don't only live in China Spring, we own the spring that China Spring was named after.
00:47:27.000Hence, the most important element of having Uncle Ted on your show, Stephen, is that I'm cocked, locked, and ready to rock the glock, Doc.
00:47:34.000I have always had unlimited water, unlimited fish in the water.
00:47:38.000Unlimited firewood in case the power goes out.
00:47:40.000But in case the power goes out, I've always had a generator with fuel for at least six months.
00:47:45.000Call me weird, but I figured that out about 1967 after a Michigan ice storm.
00:48:12.000No, you know, this is interesting that you bring it up, because I used to do this where I talked about this being of the ice storm.
00:48:15.000You know, Montreal, many people died from the Montreal ice storm.
00:48:18.000I don't know if you remember that, but we actually had relatives who were... I was there.
00:48:20.000In fact, the Amboy Dukes played during an absolute blizzard whiteout.
00:48:24.000Everything was shut down, but the Amboy Dukes, me driving the van, we actually made it to Quebec and Montreal for a concert, but we were right there Through the blizzard, just in time to go on stage, so everybody had already left because everybody was scared of the blizzard.
00:48:40.000And I'm from, right, they're from Canada, they should have been better prepared.
00:48:43.000You'd think they should have been better prepared, but no, they were not.
00:48:46.000It was terrible, and when we used to do this, I don't think they're sponsored anymore, but Prepare with Crowder, it's just kind Kind of like, you know, emergency food supplies.
00:48:53.000And I always said when I would do these advertisements, listen, there doesn't have to be some crazy EMT attack.
00:48:56.000It doesn't have to be some crazy post-apocalyptic scenario.
00:48:59.000It could just be like earthquakes that you have in Los Angeles, which my brother had lived through.
00:49:03.000It could be like the ice storm, where all of a sudden, the stores are picked clean.
00:49:06.000It pays to have a supply of water and some food that can last you 30 days.
00:49:53.000Anyhow, taking care of yourself, I was taught all about that.
00:49:56.000So by the time I graduated from high school, even though I was a crazy, rock and roll, mushy brain, uneducated by the American anti-education system guy, I had the basics figured out.
00:50:06.000So my first purchase in life Wait, wait, hold on a second.
00:50:31.000I had to buy a van for the Amboy Dukes.
00:50:33.000I had to buy amplifiers for the Amboy Dukes.
00:50:37.000It was my musical dream, obviously, which I achieved, I must say, by the time I was 12 or 13 in Detroit, literally won the Battle of the Bands in 1963, opened up for the Supremes and the Bo Brummels right next to the mighty Funk Brothers of Motown.
00:53:05.000I've always been trained that you fill your gas tank up in your truck or your car at the end of a trip into town, even if the gas gauge has only gone down a little bit.
00:53:15.000The Nugent family... Well, that's because you're from Detroit and they invented carjacking.
00:53:18.000There's a drive-in movie theater still in downtown Detroit.
00:53:22.000It's the stuff that gives children nightmares.
00:53:25.000You drive past it in the downtown, you know what I'm talking about, downtown Detroit.
00:53:28.000It's right next to an overpass, like a drive-in movie.
00:53:31.000You're going, I'm gonna, I'm gonna start watching, you know, Big Trouble 2, and my car is gonna be nothing but cinder blocks and a steering wheel before we get to the double feature.
00:54:06.000We have real, ultimate, high-octane Joe.
00:54:09.000So Shemaine and I are quarantining here, but we're quarantining between tours.
00:54:12.000I'm trying to advertise a competitor there, Ted, but I will say this.
00:54:18.000It is remarkable that Jerry Garcia, so annoying, but unfortunately, unilaterally agreed upon, there's the pun with Jerry Garcia, is the best ice cream available.
00:56:36.000The story never added up, not coming out until his 30s, recoiling from any physical intimacy with his alleged husband.
00:56:42.000The Deep State has gone to great lengths to cover up and rewrite Mayor Pete's history, because not only is he not gay, Pete Buttigieg is a plant.
00:56:51.000He's been handpicked by Vice President Mike Pence to run for president, and then, once installed in the White House, he'll sign an executive order to create Pence's gay conversion camps.
00:57:00.000It's been Pence's plan all along, and when President Trump didn't agree, Pence went with Plan B. Plan Buttigieg.
00:57:48.000He was on the show, and because we could literally hear him, we thought, we suspected I should say, doing drugs, and he made some comments where he seemed kind of out of it.
00:58:30.000I'll just repeat this for you a little bit.
00:58:32.000You were telling me how Robin Williams says, you know, I hear you, Gilbert, that there's a theory going around that Robin Williams actually killed himself because of how good your life is, you know?
00:58:39.000And if I would love to go back to 1991, people watching Aladdin saying, yeah, one of these guys is actually going to have an incredibly successful career, and one of them is going to hang himself with a lady's piece of clothing, making a nanoose nanoose, and it's not the parrot!
00:58:59.000Robin Williams is up there with God, saying, Oh boy, you really are cruel.
00:59:07.000I noticed Gilbert Godfrey just says offensive things and laughs.
00:59:21.000There's something, certain people, you get them in a room with him and Gilbert Godfrey, the chemistry is just Electric.
00:59:27.000So before we go to our correspondent, I want to talk about Louis C.K.
00:59:30.000after that, before we talk about voter suppression.
00:59:32.000But right now, of course, many of you are interested in a good friend of the show.
00:59:35.000He's on quite a bit, and he's disappeared a little bit, so we want to make sure that he's okay, so there's no man more up-to-date on the goings-on of Jocko Willink.
01:02:15.000Did you have some questions for him there, audio-wise?
01:02:17.000Yeah, I mean, I did hear that Jaco has fallen off with the 433 thing, but we, let's see, so he has, we do have the most current aftermath of his workout, so yeah, never mind.
01:03:25.000So I'll tell you what, we're gonna have you back next week, or maybe not, maybe the week after, and we'll check in and bring us something more substantial next time than just hawking Jocko's goods.
01:07:05.000She cuts, she breaks character, and they keep it going.
01:07:10.000Everything about... and not that it can't be low-budget and satisfactory.
01:07:14.000This is low-budget and distinctly unsatisfactory.
01:07:17.000She's trying to go... so, yeah, at the end of the clip she tries to go into the comedy cellar, because that's where Louis often goes, and they don't let her in.
01:07:31.000And that's kind of the difference between, let's even say take Roman Polanski or Harvard Weinstein, people who are actual sex offenders, right?
01:07:37.000There are a lot of people involved with those productions.
01:07:40.000There are a lot of people involved with the creating of a film where they can't really take credit or necessarily take blame if, for example, like Lions for Lambs is that bad.
01:07:52.000I guess the question becomes, when has someone paid their penance if they were, granted, did some scummy stuff?
01:07:58.000And I understand that it's not just that he was servicing himself in a green room.
01:08:01.000I understand that he asked people, but maybe people felt pressured, and obviously there could be sort of a disproportionate abuse of power there, or authority.
01:08:10.000But again, it's like the guy did apologize, the guy went away, and he's not saying that I should be out there as a role model, it's just, is he still funny?
01:08:17.000And the answer, in my opinion, is undoubtedly yes.
01:08:26.000With people that, maybe we just have a mild disagreement with them, or they're batshit crazy like Tom Cruise and Scientology, and we're like, eh, you know?
01:08:47.000Making zero progress until the woman comes in and she's like...
01:08:52.000I thought that 6-2-2-20 of Cavill on Dekadron might have... But no, all of a sudden, you, 120 pounds soaking wet, and stilettos move the needle a little bit.
01:09:02.000Especially when he reloaded his fists and did that.
01:11:45.000I don't really love Dark Crystal that much, but I guarantee you that if you just had movies in the park, they do that sometimes, if you had movies in the park and in the park you had the WNBA National Championship and the making of documentary of Dark Crystal, everyone would turn their chairs away from the WNBA and go, wow, they built a whole village without Jim Henson.
01:12:31.000By the way, hit the notification bell, please, if you're watching on the YouTube, because subscriptions don't mean a whole lot.
01:12:36.000And please do consider joining up Mug Club.
01:12:38.000We're doing this extra content, free all month, because of Mug Club quarantine.
01:12:43.000Enter in the promo code quarantine, you get $30 off.
01:12:45.000And please, if you are a member of Mug Club, do consider renewing, because we need you still around, since we're not necessarily monetized.
01:12:55.000thing, I don't like what he did, but I think the guy's funny, and I don't think it's such an unforgivable... It's not the kind of sin that is so unforgivable that the guy can't go out and tell jokes if people want to pay him for it.
01:13:07.000And I mean, at what point do we allow somebody to be truly repentant?
01:13:18.000Is there any second chance that we give anybody?
01:13:21.000Or do we just put somebody in the corner and say, well, because of what you did, now I don't know where that line is for everybody, but because of what you did, we're never allowing you to be in society again.
01:14:13.000If you went out and sold yourself as half-Asian lawyer, ching-ta-ta, that might be relevant, but you're very forthcoming about the fact that you're Bill!
01:14:21.000Hey, you mean if I went by Beto and my name was Robert?
01:15:49.000And it's not like the Harvey Weinstein situation.
01:15:52.000I don't think we can lump, even as much as I can't stand Aziz Ansari, I really think this guy is the epitome of woke and dishonest and a little bit arrogant.
01:16:02.000We can't lump that in with Harvey Weinstein and Bill Cosby.
01:16:04.000And it's just amazing to me that I do notice with the comedians particularly, you would think that if someone is a real germ, right, and they talk about the sort of hierarchy of powers that be.
01:16:14.000Well, other people in positions of power who don't need Louis C.K.
01:16:18.000would be the ones who would speak out and say, he's a real germ, this guy needs to go away.
01:16:22.000But you don't see that from the Bill Burrs of the world.
01:16:24.000You don't see that from the Jim Nortons.
01:16:25.000You don't see that from comedians who stand nothing to gain by being subservient to Louis C.K.
01:16:30.000In other words, they could come out and say that, and guess what?
01:16:32.000They could actually eliminate competition.
01:16:34.000But all of them say, you know what, no, the guy is still funny.
01:16:36.000The people who come out and say, Louis C.K.
01:16:39.000isn't funny at all, therefore you should all boycott him, are women like this.
01:16:42.000Are people who are definitively unfunny, and they argue, well, it's just because of the powers that be.
01:16:47.000No, the powers that be think the guy is funny, and they have no reason to.
01:16:51.000It would be like assuming that Jerry Bruckheimer is, you know, if anyone had dirt on Harvey Weinstein, you'd have someone like a Bruckheimer.
01:16:57.000Someone who's his direct competitor would be the easiest thing in the world.
01:17:00.000Yeah, I mean, think about it this way with sports.
01:18:55.000I don't think any Republican would ever be elected again.
01:18:57.000They're saying, see, see, with increased voter turnout, Republicans want to suppress votes because they can never win with increased voter turnout.
01:19:06.000Why do you think it is that Republicans might have an issue with simply opening up absentee voting, basically on a federal level, superseding states right now?
01:19:15.000Why do you think they might have an issue with it?
01:19:17.000Do you think it's just because they don't want people, legal American citizens voting from home?
01:19:26.000I was shocked, by the way, because Democrats, you obviously know they're against voter ID laws, and they say that's racist.
01:19:31.000I was shocked, as someone who has had to vote absentee once before, that many states, many states do not require that you submit any form of identification for receiving your absentee ballot or when you submit the actual voting ballot.
01:19:46.000At no point is ID required in many states.
01:19:50.000I was going through, I'm like, going through Alabama, Arkansas, Alaska, that's just the A's!
01:19:59.000Yeah, and what is it, we have, by the way, the more that Democrats obviously can get illegals and felons to vote, the more they can obviously sort of sell out the American taxpayers.
01:20:06.000I think in Colorado, what is it, 73% of people vote in person?
01:20:10.000So this was a note that I put in there because the whole argument is that they want- Yeah, makes no sense.
01:20:14.000I was looking, I was like, what did I write this for?
01:20:48.000So what they're saying is that in November they don't want people to have to actually go out and vote because it's much safer to just mail it in, and so their whole argument is, oh we have to switch to this mail-in, we already do it with absentee voting, why not?
01:20:58.000Well, in Colorado 73% of the people that got a mail-in ballot returned it by hand.
01:22:13.000Ideally for you to receive your ballot, you have to provide identification.
01:22:16.000And when you submit your ballot, you have to provide identification.
01:22:18.000The left, I mean, they want identification to purchase a firearm, to buy a big gulp, to buy an SUV, to make sure that they know who has the most carbon credits in need of purchase.
01:22:27.000Not when somebody is electing the leader of the free world.
01:22:30.000This is something that they try to oversimplify in a way that makes very little sense.
01:23:24.000You see, he looks like a Pixar character who didn't make it.
01:23:28.000You see one of these stories of someone saying, you know what, Donald Trump just doesn't, he said that no Republicans will ever win if more people can vote.
01:23:35.000You go, hold on a second, that sounds a little absurd.
01:23:37.000Why would Donald Trump be against absentee voting?
01:23:44.000Are we supposed to believe that all of a sudden, in the Midwest, in Texas, in Idaho, people who are voting from home because they have coronavirus are going to swap to Biden?
01:23:55.000No, the reason that he has a problem with it, when you search it requires a little bit of digging, is that this is ultimately a Trojan horse to try and create new laws where you require no identification to vote.
01:24:06.000You require no identification to use an emergency room.
01:24:09.000Sometimes they don't even verify identification for social services.
01:24:12.000And now no ID to vote, and you wonder why the American taxpayer thinks that you are selling them down the river for people who have no business being here, who are not here legally.
01:24:26.000Prove you're a citizen so you can vote!
01:24:27.000And a lot of the states that they would win have large undocumented populations like Texas and Arizona and places like that that are closer to the southern border.
01:24:49.000It's a lazy way to try and get this mass voter block of illegal aliens.
01:24:52.000It's just, let's allow absentee ballot, and then when Donald Trump says he's against it, we'll say that he just doesn't want more people to vote.
01:24:58.000I don't know, just string some taquitos or something along into the voting booth.
01:25:04.000Do something that takes a little bit more effort.
01:27:05.000I'm only half-joking, but because, you know, Donald Trump did that sort of, what do you call it, looming behind Hillary Clinton, and she said, well, that's kind of creepy, right?
01:27:12.000If he does that behind Joe Biden, first off, he's going to get very scared.
01:27:16.000You know, like Peter Pan with the shadow?
01:27:18.000And then he'd probably swat, and then Donald Trump would probably swat back, and then it'll just be like, rock'em, sock'em, old guys are just going to be hitting each other.
01:27:25.000I wouldn't be surprised, because you were talking about two very big egos.
01:28:03.000Well, I will say Donald Trump is a lot bigger, but he's, listen, as much, and I think Donald Trump has been a pretty good president, he's pretty gelatinous.
01:28:08.000Like, let's be honest, he's not a guy who's done anything super physical.
01:28:10.000He can absorb the blows, though, Stephen.
01:31:20.000On that note, we do have to get going.
01:31:26.000So, a couple of quick announcements tonight.
01:31:29.000We are going to be doing Mass Monday, talking about Rhett and Link.
01:31:31.000For people who haven't been Mug Club members, that's where we get into a little bit of theology, philosophy, sort of faith-based discussion.
01:31:38.000Tomorrow, Jean-Guy Tremblay is going to be live-streaming Call of Duty.
01:31:42.000So live-streaming, you guys requested, we'll be live-streaming and chatting with Deji Denagla, one of the biggest video gamers on YouTube.
01:31:49.000And I will say this too, Wednesday morning in Good Morning Mug Club, the most offensive thing that we've ever broadcast.
