Summary

On this week's episode of Mug Club, the boys discuss the fallout from the DOJ's decision to indict Hillary Clinton on criminal charges related to her campaign finance violations, and whether or not they will seek to seek a mistrial in the case. They also discuss why they think the DOJ should have been given more leeway in their investigation into the matter, and what they would do if they were. They also talk about the possibility of a possible ban from the mug club.

00:00:02.000 I don't know what to say.
00:00:05.000 Really.
00:00:06.000 It all comes down to today.
00:00:08.000 Now either we heal as a mud club or we crumble.
00:00:15.000 We're in progressive hell right now, gentlemen.
00:00:19.000 Believe me.
00:00:22.000 And we can stand around and get the s*** kicked out of us.
00:00:27.000 Or we can claw our way Back into the light.
00:00:33.000 We can climb out of hell!
00:00:36.000 No, I can't do it for you.
00:00:37.000 I'm too old.
00:00:42.000 I mean, I look at all these young muglovers' faces, and I think... I made every wrong choice a late-twenties, early-thirty-year-olds guy could make.
00:00:56.000 I, uh... I pissed off all the social media giants.
00:01:02.000 I pushed away every Hollywood agent who's ever represented me.
00:01:08.000 You know, when you come out as a conservative, things get taken from you.
00:01:15.000 I mean, that's a part of life.
00:01:17.000 But you only learn that part when people start calling you a Nazi.
00:01:24.000 And you find out that life is a game of inches.
00:01:32.000 And so's Mug Club.
00:01:35.000 They're trying to shut us down.
00:01:38.000 The inches we need are everywhere around this Mug Club.
00:01:43.000 In this Mug Club, we fight for that inch.
00:01:48.000 In this Mug Club, we tear ourselves to pieces, throw ourselves at super videos, we change minds, and we even make sh**ty jokes for that inch.
00:02:01.000 Because we know, when we add up all those Mug Club ballots, and all those minds changed, that's gonna mean the f***ing difference between winning or losing!
00:02:15.000 And either we vote now, as one Mug Club, or we get banned.
00:02:23.000 That's individual.
00:02:26.000 That's Mug Club, guys.
00:02:30.000 That's all it is.
00:02:33.000 Now!
00:02:36.000 What are you gonna do?
00:02:46.000 Join my club today!
00:02:49.000 or die as individuals.
00:02:56.000 I'm going to be a stranger in love, that's what I know.
00:03:03.000 You're a stranger in love, I got the ball.
00:03:10.000 I'm going to be a stranger in love.
00:03:30.000 Yeah, I I
00:03:34.000 I was just too...
00:03:36.000 I'd sleep probably like a cat with a hairball right before the other one.
00:03:40.000 Comment below, this is serious stuff.
00:03:40.000 You ever chew gum?
00:03:42.000 You ever chew gum and then chew it into a paste?
00:03:45.000 Chew it too long.
00:03:45.000 Oh yeah.
00:03:46.000 It almost is like a spitball.
00:03:48.000 Oh, okay.
00:03:49.000 But I wasn't chewing it that long.
00:03:50.000 But it just happens all of a sudden.
00:03:52.000 You'll be chewing it and then you'll just all of a sudden, whoa, what is in my mouth?
00:03:55.000 Paper mache?
00:03:58.000 That's the wrapper, Stephen.
00:04:00.000 That would be a good name.
00:04:01.000 It did sound a little weird.
00:04:02.000 Yeah, it would be.
00:04:03.000 But it would be like paper mache tea.
00:04:06.000 Because it has to be violent.
00:04:07.000 I really don't know why.
00:04:08.000 I was going to say, it's because we have a half-Asian person here so it sounds a little roomier because we have more microphones here.
00:04:13.000 Alright, look.
00:04:14.000 We usually don't broadcast here on YouTube and Rumble.
00:04:19.000 On Friday, but we do every Friday on Mug Club, just for people who don't know if you're not a member yet.
00:04:23.000 It is a weekday show, 10 a.m.
00:04:25.000 Eastern, no matter what, but because there's been so much fallout and quite a few follow-ups on yesterday's story regarding the DOJ and corruption therein, we certainly feel as though you Are entitled to it.
00:04:39.000 I hate that word entitlement.
00:04:40.000 It's been ruined But this is a live show and so if at some point today if you're watching on YouTube Especially considering what we are covering and what has happened on social media since yesterday if at some point you see this Head on over to Rumble.
00:04:55.000 Alright.
00:04:55.000 Because we could have been banned.
00:04:57.000 Yes.
00:04:58.000 We're going to be talking about that today.
00:04:59.000 We're going to be talking about Facebook meta-censoring the story from yesterday.
00:05:02.000 A major announcement that is going to be taking place while we are live on air.
00:05:05.000 This was announced yesterday at 10pm, as I understand it, on our Newswire, that Merchant is going to be making a statement today as to whether the sentencing will be pushed to sometime after the election, perhaps.
00:05:19.000 There was no notice before 10 p.m.
00:05:21.000 last night, so I don't exactly know what's going on there.
00:05:24.000 And we'll be talking about, well, also Donald Trump has a press conference today in New York!
00:05:29.000 In the state of New York, of all places, at noon.
00:05:32.000 Who knows what he's gonna talk about.
00:05:33.000 Seems like the wheels are in motion.
00:05:36.000 Captain Morgan, number two CEO, how are you?
00:05:38.000 I am very, very good.
00:05:39.000 How are you?
00:05:40.000 I am tired, but I'm well.
00:05:42.000 Yeah?
00:05:42.000 Very well.
00:05:43.000 Good.
00:05:44.000 And then we have, of course, we have Josh Fierstein here.
00:05:47.000 When you hear this, I don't know if we have...
00:05:49.000 I was thinking Mean Green.
00:05:49.000 Firestein?
00:05:53.000 Bill likes it.
00:05:54.000 Mean Green, Firestein.
00:05:57.000 It rhymes better that way, but it sounds more Jewish.
00:06:01.000 Friday, September 20th at Film Alley in Terrell, Texas.
00:06:04.000 Terrell.
00:06:06.000 Whatever.
00:06:07.000 Hey, Terrell, Texas!
00:06:08.000 I want to get to Bill de Blasio eating pizza.
00:06:10.000 Fine, go for it.
00:06:12.000 And we have here, because he was here yesterday and backed by popular demand, with his own theme song.
00:06:16.000 No he's not.
00:06:18.000 Oh, that's gangster!
00:06:24.000 There you go!
00:06:24.000 He's a co-host of Hardly Legal, the podcast, available on YouTube and wherever.
00:06:29.000 I'm just surprised that you thought Barely Legal, which I gave you, was too adult, and then he went with Hardly Legal.
00:06:35.000 You know, Barely Legal was your thing, and Hardly Legal... What is it?
00:06:39.000 It's hard and legal?
00:06:40.000 It's hard.
00:06:41.000 No, Hardly Legal.
00:06:41.000 And legal.
00:06:43.000 It's the name of a firm.
00:06:43.000 Hardly Legal.
00:06:44.000 Porn name.
00:06:45.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:06:45.000 It's the fun stuff.
00:06:46.000 Check it out.
00:06:46.000 Most important, though, by the way, before anything else, of course, we talked about this earlier this week, but Brian Stelter is back at CNN.
00:06:55.000 He's gay.
00:06:55.000 He ain't straight.
00:06:57.000 He should get longer shirt You really should.
00:07:06.000 It's like an actor, you know, where you do one film for you, then one film for the masses.
00:07:09.000 That one's for me.
00:07:10.000 That one's definitely for you.
00:07:11.000 I don't know if I'll ever stop laughing at that.
00:07:13.000 I know.
00:07:14.000 We like it.
00:07:14.000 We are all children.
00:07:16.000 Before we go on to the fallout here and what's been happening, and we appreciate your support, of course, Mug Club, in sharing the story and reaching the many tens of millions of people who it has reached.
00:07:28.000 Before, of course, Big Tech decided to try and clamp down on it.
00:07:31.000 Not Rumble, not X, thank you.
00:07:33.000 Before all that, here is former New York City Mayor, Bill de Blasio, eating pizza.
00:07:39.000 Is that rice?
00:07:57.000 Jeez, respect the cheese, man.
00:07:58.000 I think in New York they call that snow.
00:08:00.000 It's a bag of dandruff.
00:08:02.000 Oh my god.
00:08:04.000 What?
00:08:06.000 Oh my god.
00:08:08.000 I heard that's a New York thing, you go backwards.
00:08:10.000 No it's not.
00:08:11.000 If you like it in the back, it's what you do.
00:08:12.000 So what we know now is Bill de Blasio's gay.
00:08:17.000 Prison nickname is Stuffed Crust.
00:08:19.000 Aww.
00:08:20.000 I thought it was Deep Dish.
00:08:21.000 Deep Dish.
00:08:21.000 Well, he got it from Pizza Cuck.
00:08:23.000 Oh, I thought it was Meat Lovers.
00:08:24.000 Yeah, it could be Meat Lovers.
00:08:26.000 Well, you know, better ingredients, better cock, Papa John's.
00:08:28.000 His favorite topping is Italian sausage.
00:08:31.000 And he's got pepperoni nipples.
00:08:34.000 This is the guy who ate a pizza with a knife and fork in 2014.
00:08:40.000 They're just like you!
00:08:41.000 Aww.
00:08:42.000 I really dig into that thing.
00:08:45.000 Remember when Ringo Starr was trying to convince us with stuffed crust pizza?
00:08:49.000 Now you can eat your pizza crust first!
00:08:52.000 No.
00:08:53.000 Why would you do that?
00:08:54.000 You saved that for last.
00:08:56.000 I get it.
00:08:56.000 It's still better, perhaps, to the uninitiated in a normal crust, but it is not better than the rest of the pizza.
00:09:02.000 What happens when you get halfway through the pizza and you've got nothing to hold on to now?
00:09:05.000 You're screwed!
00:09:06.000 Then you go in for the tossed salad.
00:09:08.000 You need a partner for that.
00:09:10.000 It's a team sport.
00:09:12.000 Just like Ringo Starr with his lyrics.
00:09:15.000 He had Yellow Submarine and he had Octopus's Garden.
00:09:18.000 You get rid of the aquatic theme, he can't write.
00:09:21.000 He's very situational.
00:09:24.000 My only regret is that Bobby Darin was the one who did Mac the Knife.
00:09:30.000 Because it's about a shark.
00:09:32.000 I don't know what that song is.
00:09:33.000 Is it?
00:09:34.000 No, wait.
00:09:34.000 I'm thinking about the animatronic shark at KB Toys.
00:09:37.000 They changed it to a shark song.
00:09:41.000 He's actually suing for the rights of baby sharks.
00:09:42.000 Yeah, he is, right now.
00:09:44.000 Hey!
00:09:45.000 That was my idea long before.
00:09:51.000 No, it's stuck in the head.
00:09:52.000 Get out of here.
00:09:53.000 I can't do the recording sessions where you're like, Ringo, you and your aquatic themes.
00:09:57.000 Not everything's gonna be nautical.
00:10:01.000 Hey, hey guys.
00:10:03.000 Hey, guys.
00:10:04.000 Let's stop fighting about the past.
00:10:06.000 You're going backwards.
00:10:07.000 You know what can't go backwards?
00:10:09.000 Sharks.
00:10:11.000 They just tease him before, so they go, hey Ringo, here's a life jacket.
00:10:16.000 Go crowd surfing.
00:10:18.000 Oh, it's like last time when you threw me a Bowie!
00:10:21.000 Alright.
00:10:23.000 Sorry.
00:10:24.000 For those who are tuning in, we always have new viewers for tuning in because of the investigative journalism that you saw yesterday, and that's equally important, but this is a comedy show and we are children.
00:10:35.000 Good thing we make the references publicly available so you know when it's a joke and when it's not, but hey, who really cares at this point?
00:10:42.000 A lot happened yesterday.
00:10:45.000 For those who didn't see this, and we appreciate you continuing to share this, by the way, because it has reached people who... It's reached people who don't want to cover this, and they've been forced to cover it.
00:10:56.000 So that's always a lot of fun.
00:10:57.000 But for those who haven't seen it, here's a short clip.
00:11:01.000 Again, just sort of reintroducing to you this undercover journalism from Mug Club Undercover.
00:11:06.000 They've done a fantastic job that showed a DOJ official who All but admitted that, of course, the prosecution of Donald Trump, it's all been a political witch hunt and it's lawfare.
00:11:18.000 They're just out to get him.
00:11:19.000 That's why, like, the surging of the police is, you know, it's a perversion of justice.
00:11:26.000 You know, stacking charges and, like, rearranging things just to make it fit a case.
00:11:31.000 No, to be honest with you, I think the case is nonsense.
00:11:35.000 And before I get into the fallout, some of which is kind of terrifying, this is the importance not only of you, but this is where what used to be called new media is important.
00:11:46.000 You know, you can circumvent those in power.
00:11:50.000 ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, none of them, they never would have covered this before, but you can make sure that people see the truth.
00:11:57.000 And now that is applied pressure where even places like the New York Post and CNN were forced to cover it.
00:12:05.000 So I think New York Post chose CNN.
00:12:05.000 I like the word.
00:12:08.000 Forced.
00:12:09.000 Write it, CNN.
00:12:11.000 Yeah.
00:12:12.000 Donald Trump telling them, write it!
00:12:13.000 Love it!
00:12:14.000 Feel it!
00:12:17.000 So it reached tens of millions of people and it was covered, but it was immediately throttled.
00:12:22.000 by big tech, by those in power. Before we get to that, the Southern District of New York, the Chief
00:12:28.000 of Public Affairs, Nicholas Biasi, who we talked about, he actually did give a statement, a follow
00:12:35.000 up, which was unfortunately a cop out. But again, in the video, he just he laid it out. The Democrats
00:12:40.000 are out to get Trump. He says this. He's He has first-hand knowledge of this.
00:12:43.000 The case is nonsense.
00:12:44.000 It's a complete perversion of justice, a mockery of justice, to use his words.
00:12:48.000 Everyone in the Southern District of New York knows it, and that the Manhattan D.A., Alvin Bragg, brought the manipulated charges basically to just try and, you know, chase some fame and make a name for himself.
00:12:58.000 So the New York Post covers it, and then this guy, who we said was not the villain in this story, to be clear.
00:13:03.000 He was saying what we knew to be true, unfortunately only saying it privately, He tried to cover and made it so much worse.
00:13:10.000 He said, I was recently made aware of a video where I regretfully made some statements in a private and social setting that don't reflect my views about two local and state prosecutions.
00:13:21.000 I said these things in an effort to please and impress someone I just met.
00:13:26.000 Who was secretly filming me.
00:13:28.000 I'm deeply sorry to the local and state law enforcement officials working on these matters who deserve more respect than I showed them.
00:13:35.000 I should have known better.
00:13:38.000 He also went on to say, Them titties though!
00:13:45.000 Which is not becoming for one of the most important courts of the land.
00:13:49.000 The guy's speaking truth across the board, right?
00:13:52.000 Both the first statement and the last statement.
00:13:56.000 He's consistent.
00:13:57.000 We appreciate it, even if in a private and social setting.
00:14:01.000 But look, this guy's an insider.
00:14:02.000 He knows how the trial system works.
00:14:04.000 He worked with Bragg, right?
00:14:08.000 Also, I was saying this to impress a lady.
00:14:11.000 Yeah, because you know what really makes them drop their drawers?
00:14:15.000 Corruption at the DOJ!
00:14:17.000 Oh, baby!
00:14:17.000 Yeah, give me more.
00:14:18.000 Dialogue about political persecution, that'll drop her panties.
00:14:21.000 Hey, let me tell you about lawfare.
00:14:25.000 Yeah, let me say it over multiple dates, the same thing again and again.
00:14:29.000 So, by the way, another potential fallout from this, like we said, the judge in Trump's New York money, the hush money case in New York, they decided to move things along more quickly.
00:14:29.000 Great.
00:14:39.000 was released at 10 p.m. last night, so we will actually be bringing you that update
00:14:44.000 as it transpires today, which brings us to our latest installment
00:14:48.000 of Curious Coincidences.
00:14:50.000 ♪♪ ♪♪
00:15:06.000 The stinger's longer than the coincidence.
00:15:08.000 I'm gonna miss this.
00:15:10.000 So, originally the sentencing was scheduled for September 18th, and this judge is going to decide on Trump's immunity, which would relate to throwing out the case on September 16th.
00:15:20.000 There was no notice of what is taking place today, but it was announced at, well, yesterday, the story goes out regarding the DOJ, all of these cases being politically motivated by someone who was an insider who's since tried to recant because he was impressing a lady by talking about lawfare at the DOJ.
00:15:36.000 10 p.m last night.
00:15:38.000 Out of the blue.
00:15:39.000 That's when Judge Murchin announces that he's moving up his decision on whether to postpone the sentencing this morning.
00:15:47.000 Here's the thing.
00:15:49.000 It could go either way where they may want to get away from this and they may just want to punt it to after the election so that you don't stay on top of it and no one cares about the political witch hunt or They may want to try and double down and say, no, we're going to move this up because all of this, this is fake news.
00:16:04.000 It really could go either way.
00:16:05.000 I guarantee they've had a meeting with a publicist.
00:16:07.000 And I should also mention that yesterday, Judge Mershon was sued over not releasing his financials.
00:16:12.000 Really?
00:16:12.000 Well, it's because, you know, his daughter-in-law is helping the Kamala Biden campaign.
00:16:19.000 Actually, not his daughter-in-law, just his daughter.
00:16:20.000 I think it's just his daughter.
00:16:22.000 In law and in blood.
00:16:24.000 And that could be a conflict of interest.
00:16:25.000 Correct, Bill?
00:16:26.000 So that's an important aspect of it that folks have, it's really flown under the radar is the potential conflict of a direct family member, Blood, helping someone who has a very deep political interest in going after a political opponent.
00:16:26.000 It could.
00:16:40.000 But remember, there's one thing that's important here.
00:16:41.000 This was a DOJ spokesman talking about the State Department.
00:16:46.000 So the local district attorney's office, the DOJ being the premier, you know, federal court and the Southern District of New York being the number one trial court.
00:16:54.000 They know how the trial system works and they were talking about Alvin Bragg in the Manhattan DA's office about the bad motivations and going after the case.
00:17:04.000 It really is like you could almost not get any more closer to the action on someone who knows what's going on and goes into it and saying this was brought for bad reasons.
00:17:16.000 Someone who is a judge, a sitting judge, whose daughter directly may be helping or is helping the Kamala Hmm.
00:17:23.000 Biden campaign, Kamala Walls campaign, whatever it is at this point, I guess.
00:17:27.000 Kamala Walls sounds like a theme park.
00:17:29.000 Yes it does.
00:17:30.000 But they haven't updated in a while.
00:17:33.000 That almost could be seen as politically motivated.
00:17:36.000 Lawfare, perhaps a perversion of justice?
00:17:40.000 Perverts.
00:17:41.000 We'll call that as we see it, as it comes out a little bit later, I believe in half
00:17:46.000 an hour today is when that statement should be released.
00:17:49.000 Yeah.
00:17:50.000 I don't want to do the whataboutism thing, but I do feel like this is a good point to highlight the left basically saying that Supreme Court justices and other judges around the country should recuse themselves from trials.
00:18:01.000 I think the Florida judge actually said she should recuse herself because Donald Trump appointed her.
00:18:06.000 Okay, so all the judges that have been appointed by this person are just in the bag for this person now?
00:18:11.000 That's not how the judicial system is supposed to work.
00:18:13.000 Yeah, they want Clarence Thomas to be thrown out because he accepted some Sherry's Berries or whatever the hell it is.
00:18:19.000 And in this case, the judge's daughter is working directly for a political opponent.
00:18:23.000 But, you know, turn a blind eye.
00:18:25.000 Nah, he's a bad dad.
00:18:26.000 They don't talk much.
00:18:27.000 Yeah, exactly.
00:18:28.000 And there's no predicate crime, you know.
00:18:31.000 For all of us looking over here, when he said, basically, in his jury instructions, you have to find him guilty of an underlying crime.
00:18:38.000 It could be one of these four or five different things, but you guys don't all have to agree on what one crime he actually committed.
00:18:44.000 Is that as crazy to you as it is to just the layperson?
00:18:48.000 It's crazy and the worst part is this wasn't like a last minute thing where folks were like, oh wow, this mistake happened at the last minute.
00:18:56.000 People have been highlighting this issue because the jury instructions don't just magically appear right at the last minute.
00:19:02.000 You have to submit them, you have to argue over them.
00:19:02.000 It's all secret.
00:19:04.000 So the Senate Judiciary Committee has highlighted this issue about how the lack of an underlying specific crime and just saying, well if 92 of you, I mean there's only, you know, 92 on a jury, but 92 of you vote once on 92 different crimes.
00:19:19.000 We're gonna put them all together and call them one crime.
00:19:22.000 It doesn't make sense at a smell test, even if you're not in the law.
00:19:26.000 Those in the law know that this is absolutely not the way it's supposed to be, which is frankly just consistent with the entire prosecution at the state level.
00:19:35.000 It's almost like it's a perversion of justice.
00:19:37.000 A perversion of justice.
00:19:37.000 That theme seems to continue.
00:19:39.000 And also nonsense.
00:19:40.000 I like that word too.
00:19:41.000 Yeah, nonsense.
00:19:42.000 Nonsense.
00:19:43.000 All of this is nonsense.
00:19:43.000 But isn't that probably going to be grounds for it to be overturned?
00:19:46.000 It's going to be one of the biggest arguments on the appellate level.
00:19:51.000 Because the jury instructions is important.
00:19:53.000 It's the questions you ask the jury and have them decide the case.
00:19:57.000 So it has to track the law.
00:19:58.000 It's one of the most contested issues in a jury trial is asking the right question.
00:20:03.000 For those who are all on, you know, Chad GPT, it's asking the right prompt.
00:20:08.000 If you're not going to ask the right prompt, you're not going to get the right answer.
00:20:10.000 So if you're deliberately manipulating the question to make it as easy as possible, regardless of the law, you know the result you're trying to get.
00:20:18.000 Yeah.
00:20:18.000 That's a good point.
00:20:19.000 So these two things in conjunction, it's like, okay, well, just those two things, daughter working there, that jury instruction.
00:20:25.000 This is a sham.
00:20:25.000 Yeah.
00:20:25.000 And then of course you have the chief spokesperson officer there in Biase of the Southern District of New York saying Nicholas and saying it is, that's what it is.
00:20:33.000 People want to make a name for themselves.
00:20:35.000 They're trying to stack different.
00:20:36.000 This is unprecedented.
00:20:38.000 It's nonsense.
00:20:38.000 It's a mockery.
00:20:39.000 It's a perversion of justice.
00:20:40.000 And let me, before we go to the big tech throttling, which this is Hunter Biden, the laptop all over again, spoiler alert, and this is kind of the scary part.
00:20:48.000 So we've had our fun.
00:20:49.000 Look, Biasi could have made this easy on himself.
00:20:52.000 He could have just said, look, hey, is that my opinion?
00:20:55.000 Yeah.
00:20:56.000 Did I express it in a private setting?
00:20:58.000 Yeah, I did, because I think maybe it would be unprofessional of me to express that opinion, you know, in my place of work.
00:21:06.000 But if you're asking me if I believe that, yeah, I do.
00:21:07.000 But instead, he had to walk it back and please, please kill me last, figuratively.
00:21:11.000 I'm talking about it totally.
00:21:12.000 There was a moment there for him to say not only what you said, which would have been an acceptable answer, but Damn right I believe that.
00:21:20.000 Guess what?
00:21:21.000 So does everybody else.
00:21:22.000 This is a sham and it's finally time to kind of pull back the curtain and everybody needs to see this for what it is.
00:21:27.000 We're not going to remain silent any longer.
00:21:28.000 We're going after this guy.
00:21:30.000 He had a chance to be a hero.
00:21:31.000 That moment does not come in life very often, if at all, and he passed it by to make sure that he could keep some semblance of his job and life together instead of doing the right thing.
00:21:42.000 And again, we'll talk about this, we have one dropping every week as far as Mug Club Undercover, and you know that we don't take these lightly.
00:21:52.000 There are some people, these subjects, who you feel bad for, and you plead with them, you go, look, please, if you could do this all again, would you just do it differently?
00:22:00.000 When you look at some of the consequences, the stealing of a nation, and then you realize, unless these people feel some kind of a sting, they'll continue.
00:22:08.000 And they'll continue, and the worst part is, you don't know until they're caught.
00:22:11.000 Yeah.
00:22:12.000 So these are going to be coming up.
00:22:13.000 If the media wants to continue saying, ah, this is out of context, go ahead.
00:22:17.000 Please.
00:22:19.000 We welcomed it last week, and we welcome it every week moving forward.
00:22:22.000 This is also why, and this ties into what of course I think is most important as it relates to the election.
00:22:27.000 um, and stealing a nation. This was released yesterday.
00:22:32.000 Okay.
00:22:32.000 A DOJ story. Then Facebook immediately, Meta immediately decided to censor
00:22:38.000 the Rumble link, citing a violation of community standards.
00:22:43.000 So when you were trying to post or share the story at all people were getting messages like this.
00:22:48.000 It says it looks like you tried to gather sensitive information from others.
00:22:53.000 We can't review this website because the content doesn't meet our community standards.
00:22:59.000 We can't To be clear, all other Rumble links were allowed on Facebook, so that's the website, right?
00:23:06.000 The website is Rumble.
00:23:06.000 It's already been verified.
00:23:08.000 But what they mean is this one URL on the Rumble, this one URL here, this video that is going viral right now, we can't review it, and so it doesn't match our community standards.
00:23:16.000 And that's a language that they use very often.
00:23:19.000 It's very opaque.
00:23:20.000 It gives them an excuse for, really, removal of anything.
00:23:20.000 It's broad.
00:23:23.000 Can't review it.
00:23:24.000 Where have we heard those words before?
00:23:27.000 It's...
00:23:28.000 Keep...
00:23:29.000 F...
00:23:30.000 Well, Hunter Biden laptop, right?
00:23:36.000 That's right.
00:23:37.000 Couldn't confirm it.
00:23:37.000 Smoking crack.
00:23:39.000 Wiener next to Eminem's corruption.
00:23:40.000 That was in the FBI's hands.
00:23:41.000 With his dad.
00:23:43.000 Couldn't be any president, son.
00:23:44.000 Yes.
00:23:45.000 Money from China.
00:23:46.000 Everyone has Parmesan parties, come on.
00:23:48.000 Oh, come on.
00:23:49.000 Yeah.
00:23:50.000 Everybody gets to sit on a board with no qualifications and make millions of dollars.
00:23:53.000 Yes, and sex with their niece.
00:23:55.000 Bag of dandruff in the Oval Office.
00:23:58.000 We're talking about Clown World, people are like, cocaine?
00:24:01.000 I have no idea.
00:24:02.000 It's like, isn't there someone there who's like most famous for cocaine?
00:24:06.000 What?
00:24:07.000 No!
00:24:08.000 Dude, he's done with that.
00:24:09.000 That's like delivering a press conference and you just hear in the background like, oh yeah!
00:24:13.000 We have no idea.
00:24:13.000 Who said that?
00:24:14.000 George Washington lived in a different White House, okay?
00:24:18.000 You gotta stop blaming him, alright?
00:24:20.000 The guy, he was doing what he could to start a nation.
00:24:25.000 Here's what it would have looked like yesterday, and of course all references are available at lottocreditor.com.
00:24:31.000 We put that link in the description with every show.
00:24:32.000 If you were trying to share this story regarding corruption at the DOJ, straight from the horse's mouth, this is what happened if you were on Facebook.
00:24:40.000 Yeah, let's roll this.
00:24:41.000 So you click it, you try and upload it.
00:24:45.000 We had the sound effect for people on audio because, you know.
00:24:51.000 Oh, man.
00:24:52.000 And by the way, some other people had experiences, just to be clear, that were even more egregious.
00:24:58.000 Yeah.
00:25:00.000 Let me go to share.
00:25:00.000 Oh, come on.
00:25:06.000 That's a Billabong shirt.
00:25:11.000 Freeze!
00:25:13.000 Duh!
00:25:14.000 And Chris Peblowski, CEO of Rumble, also showed that Facebook was completely stopping users
00:25:19.000 from direct messaging the story.
00:25:22.000 Think about that.
00:25:23.000 You couldn't post it publicly.
00:25:25.000 Hey, Facebook, what's their market value right now?
00:25:27.000 It's 1 point something trillion?
00:25:28.000 1.3 trillion dollars-ish.
00:25:30.000 Could you spend a couple grand to have someone verify one URL?
00:25:35.000 That looks like a lot of other URLs from the same website.
00:25:37.000 Yep, that you allow.
00:25:38.000 Yeah.
00:25:39.000 And many of you, here's the power of you.
00:25:41.000 So many of you flagged this and made an issue out of it that, as of this morning, it seems like it's okay.
00:25:47.000 Now it's been verified.
00:25:48.000 You can share it on Facebook.
00:25:48.000 It'll look like this.
00:25:49.000 Oh, okay.
00:25:52.000 There you go.
00:25:54.000 And... Enter it in this morning.
00:25:59.000 So please do.
00:26:02.000 It'll post and it's throttled.
00:26:04.000 Thank you, KJP.
00:26:06.000 That's the issue that you also don't see.
00:26:08.000 Now, this is very scary.
00:26:11.000 Think about this.
00:26:13.000 This is stopping Americans from having access to information.
00:26:16.000 You may not like the information.
00:26:17.000 You may not like investigative journalism.
00:26:19.000 Of course, the left now doesn't believe in investigative journalism.
00:26:22.000 They think it's underhanded, so they don't do it anymore.
00:26:24.000 They just do, you know, what would you do with John Quinones where every parent is racist?
00:26:27.000 So, this information, do you think it would affect The American voter, if they understood that lawfare was at play, if they understood that there was a weaponization taking place with our intelligence agencies, with our Justice Department, do you think it would affect the outcome of this election?
00:26:44.000 Well, good thing we have an example of this.
00:26:48.000 Facebook, of course, notoriously censored the Hunter Biden laptop story into the 2020 election, in case you didn't remember this.
00:26:55.000 They said what?
00:26:56.000 They said that they couldn't verify the story, right?
00:26:59.000 And what that really meant was, we now know, the FBI told them that this may be Russian disinformation, And Facebook said, oh, okay, we can't verify.
00:27:08.000 While the FBI, we know that the FBI knew it was not Russian disinformation, the FBI had verified it and told Facebook, hey, hey, hey, it may be from Russia, so don't verify it.
00:27:20.000 And by the way, keep in mind, this episode was throttled as well, where the Hunter Biden laptop was shown to the American public by Rudy Giuliani for the very first time.
00:27:30.000 Have you seen the pictures?
00:27:31.000 Have you seen the pictures of him with the crack pipe?
00:27:34.000 The John Wright I have.
00:27:35.000 Oh, wow.
00:27:36.000 Does he at least look, like, cool?
00:27:40.000 Unfortunately, I can't show them to you right now, but this is the hard drive they're on.
00:27:44.000 Now if it seems like I didn't react with enough enthusiasm, it's because I was watching on a small monitor and I had no idea what was taking place at that moment in time.
00:27:44.000 Oh my word.
00:27:53.000 I felt like, oh, he's showing me that he downloaded something.
00:27:56.000 I didn't know that dressed as a Marty McFly look-alike that he was going to show for the very first time the most controversial Item, effectively, in the United States at that moment in time.
00:28:08.000 That was the Hunter Biden laptop.
00:28:09.000 The FBI had it, went to Facebook, said, it could be Russian disinformation.
00:28:14.000 And keep in mind...
00:28:16.000 What were the net results of that?
00:28:19.000 17% of Biden voters said they would have changed their votes if they would have known about the laptop.
00:28:24.000 That changes Arizona.
00:28:26.000 That changes Georgia.
00:28:28.000 That changes Nevada.
00:28:30.000 You have a different country today if that wasn't actively suppressed.
00:28:30.000 Think about it.
00:28:34.000 Now, before the FBI works with Facebook, They suppress you.
00:28:39.000 It starts with suppressing you so that the only people who have a voice are those in big tech and those in big government, namely intelligence agencies and the DOJ, and they can work together.
00:28:50.000 17% of votes would have changed.
00:28:51.000 And 12% of votes, Biden voters, were dead.
00:28:53.000 Yes!
00:28:54.000 Oh, well, allegedly.
00:28:56.000 By the way, really quickly, I just want to make sure, I've seen some people try to debunk the 17%.
00:29:00.000 Oh, that's MRC, that's this right-leaning, and oh, that's Biden supporters who didn't know about the... Cut it in half, then.
00:29:07.000 Cut it in a third.
00:29:09.000 It still changes the election.
00:29:10.000 still lose your argument. Oh, the sample size isn't big enough. Fine. Make every argument you
00:29:14.000 want that you won't make about other polling, by the way, that shows your candidate favorably when
00:29:18.000 it does. It still changes the election. And that's just one.
00:29:22.000 Again, you've done sit-downs, and we've had him on the show, Dr. Epstein, who's talked
00:29:25.000 about the Google algorithms, the search algorithms, which affect far more than that. If
00:29:29.000 they control, and by they I mean big tech and big government control information, they can control
00:29:36.000 the outcome for this country.
00:29:37.000 Frankly, it's a miracle that any conservative candidate wins, ever, when you're fighting against Alphabet, Google, YouTube, Meta, Facebook, Instagram.
00:29:48.000 Now, we were accused, this was considered a conspiracy theory back in the day.
00:29:52.000 We've had entire episodes removed for discussing this.
00:29:55.000 And of course, this channel, if you're watching on YouTube, has been 100% demonetized.
00:30:00.000 Because of discussing these issues, only now Zuckerberg apologized for censoring stories, including the Hunter Biden laptop last week.
00:30:09.000 He said, yep, we did it.
00:30:10.000 Under pressure.
00:30:11.000 Sorry.
00:30:12.000 Sorry, we should have been more prudent.
00:30:12.000 From the FBI.
00:30:14.000 He also acknowledged that the Kamala Biden administration pressured them into censoring COVID content.
00:30:19.000 Yeah.
00:30:20.000 Even memes.
00:30:22.000 And then they do this!
00:30:23.000 He admitted it.
00:30:24.000 And so here we are today, today, where we're in the exact same scenario.
00:30:30.000 Hey, the DOJ, and of course you could argue that by extension, knowing what we know, the intelligence agencies, there could be some corruption.
00:30:38.000 There could be lawfare afoot.
00:30:40.000 You decide to share it a few people.
00:30:42.000 This is a good litmus, by the way, good litmus test for a conspiracy as to whether it's just a theory.
00:30:48.000 Area 51 requires everyone all the way down to the janitor keeping their mouth shut.
00:30:52.000 The Hunter Biden laptop story.
00:30:53.000 That's a conference call with 10 people.
00:30:56.000 With 10 people!
00:30:58.000 It was removed or throttled from, at that point in time, Twitter, Facebook, Meta, who own Instagram.
00:31:05.000 Of course it was shadow throttled as we saw on YouTube.
00:31:09.000 I don't think it was outright banned.
00:31:11.000 And I'm not entirely sure what they did with the podcast, but for example, Alex Jones was removed from YouTube, Facebook, Meta, Twitter, Spotify, Apple, in one day.
00:31:21.000 And Jen Psaki, working for the White House, called on Spotify to censor content.
00:31:26.000 That's a conference call with only a handful of people.
00:31:29.000 You don't think that the FBI can be on that call or the DOJ?
00:31:34.000 Well, we know they can't!
00:31:35.000 Because Mark Zuckerberg admitted it and apologized for it now, but they're still doing it.
00:31:39.000 Yeah.
00:31:40.000 When do you get your house in order?
00:31:42.000 This is election season right now, okay?
00:31:44.000 And this is a sprint between now and November 5th.
00:31:47.000 And that's why this is the first of many.
00:31:50.000 They can't ignore it when it's every single week between now and election.
00:31:54.000 You're about to say something, Gerald.
00:31:55.000 I was going to say, think about the two biggest topics in the media at the time, right?
00:31:59.000 Going back to that.
00:31:59.000 So it was COVID and it was the Biden laptop.
00:32:01.000 And people look at the Biden laptop and say, oh, it's just pictures of him and his niece.
00:32:04.000 And that's really creepy stuff.
00:32:06.000 And it's him doing cocaine.
00:32:07.000 Yeah, all that's true.
00:32:08.000 That's bad enough.
00:32:09.000 But it was also the China money coming into the Biden family.
00:32:13.000 It was the Board of Burisma.
00:32:14.000 It was all of the information that was on there, not just damaging pictures.
00:32:17.000 Don't get lost in the weeds on that stuff.
00:32:19.000 It was the corruption of the Biden family, which we're kind of seeing play out.
00:32:22.000 Those are the things that get censored.
00:32:24.000 Those two topics that were on everybody's mind.
00:32:27.000 Right now, what is the biggest topic in the news?
00:32:29.000 Look at CNN right now.
00:32:29.000 Well, I don't know.
00:32:31.000 They're talking about Trump in court.
00:32:33.000 Lawfare.
00:32:34.000 The DOJ going after Trump.
00:32:35.000 And that's the thing, again, they presented as objective.
00:32:38.000 It's the biggest topic.
00:32:39.000 It's not just a topic.
00:32:41.000 It's the biggest ones.
00:32:42.000 Right now, at this moment in time, it's the biggest topic and the biggest piece of news regarding that topic or relating to that topic right now.
00:32:49.000 is what you were trying to share yesterday.
00:32:49.000 Yeah.
00:32:51.000 And here's the thing, this is going to continue happening.
00:32:54.000 I wanna be very clear with you.
00:32:57.000 They're not going to stop, Half-Asian Bill Richmond, that's how we met, because this was happening
00:33:00.000 with me on Facebook, I believe back in 2016, 2020, somewhere around there.
00:33:06.000 I mean, it is the same consistent story.
00:33:09.000 It was Zuckerberg back then with the contractors who had you on a blacklist, along with the Chris Kyle Foundation, Breitbart, and we're seeing it, and really it gets back to that larger issue, right, is these platforms and their ability to put their thumb on the scale of information.
00:33:27.000 You know, shocking that we're seeing these statements coming out now, but I think that's the reality is folks have We have smelled a bad smell for a long time and been told, don't worry, don't worry, don't worry, and we realize someone shit the bed on truth and being able to allow the American people to judge for themselves.
00:33:46.000 Let's just compare how Trump's kids were handled versus how Hunter was handled, right?
00:33:52.000 Any little rumor was blasted across like it was true about Ivanka.
00:33:59.000 All of them, right?
00:34:00.000 Jared and Don Jr., all of them, right?
00:34:03.000 But then with Hunter, it's like, no, no, no, no.
00:34:05.000 We have photographic evidence of things that under- those are the foundational evidence of his gun charges, of his tax charges.
00:34:15.000 Don't worry about the pictures.
00:34:18.000 The bad stuff, right?
00:34:19.000 Even the drug use.
00:34:20.000 Put all of that in the context of crimes that say this is what the family is about, and now they're just like, Yeah, let's just sweep that under the rug with the other dandruff.
00:34:30.000 If you were exclusively a New York Times reader, you'd be very confused right now, because you'd be hearing that Hunter Biden has pled guilty to tax evasion.
00:34:36.000 You'd be like, whoa, hold on.
00:34:38.000 Pled guilty to what?
00:34:39.000 He hasn't done anything wrong.
00:34:40.000 Because you never heard the initial story.
00:34:42.000 Right, right.
00:34:42.000 Think about that.
00:34:43.000 That's a really good point.
00:34:44.000 It's foundational evidence to the actual crimes that we now know, and the foundational evidence was removed.
00:34:52.000 From effectively the world, this is where we are, we do have oligarchs today.
00:34:55.000 We do.
00:34:56.000 Effectively, the big tech oligarchs are the resources, and unfortunately these intelligence agencies, the federal government, is the muscle.
00:35:03.000 Yeah.
00:35:04.000 These big tech oligarchs have the money, they have the ability to throttle information, but the intimidation comes from the FBI, from the CIA, from the DOJ, as Mark Zuckerberg just told you, because they can enforce consequences.
00:35:16.000 It's a very, very scary time.
00:35:17.000 This is going to continue happening.
00:35:19.000 And we can't fight back without you.
00:35:22.000 We appreciate your support, but let me just make the case really quickly here if you are not a member of Mug Club, because what you've seen We'll cease to be.
00:35:30.000 We can't do it without you.
00:35:31.000 Not a dime of Russian money, surprisingly.
00:35:33.000 None.
00:35:34.000 Or even a foreign caliphate.
00:35:35.000 Didn't even take the call.
00:35:36.000 It's hard to do these days.
00:35:37.000 Your support for Mug Club, which is 100% owned by the person you see in this room, okay?
00:35:43.000 You've created the daily show that you watch, including the Mug Club portion that we'll go to to take your chats later.
00:35:49.000 The entire Mug Club network.
00:35:50.000 Mug Club has created Change My Mind.
00:35:52.000 Mug Club has created Talking With People.
00:35:54.000 The 3 in 3 podcast, which you guys have been enjoying and we appreciate it.
00:35:57.000 That's you, Mug Club.
00:35:59.000 Not to mention the investigative journalism, Mug Club Undercover, 100% funded by viewers like you.
00:36:04.000 The antifisting, which led to arrests.
00:36:06.000 The Nashville Manifesto.
00:36:07.000 Chippewa Falls, which led to policy changes as it relates to school security and shootings.
00:36:12.000 The Chinese marijuana grow farms from foreign nationals in Oklahoma.
00:36:16.000 We had that story on the United Nations, and of course this, right now, the Department of Justice story.
00:36:21.000 This is all because of you, 100%, your membership to Muck Club.
00:36:26.000 Not 15 live reads, no advertising on this channel, on YouTube, very, very little advertising.
00:36:32.000 It is funded by viewers like you.
00:36:34.000 Also, Muck Club even created this meme, which, no, that's, hey, I meant this meme.
00:36:43.000 And here's something else too.
00:36:45.000 If you haven't clicked that button right now, if we haven't convinced you, and hey, if you're on the fence, let us make our case between now and election.
00:36:52.000 We are leaving nothing for the swim back.
00:36:55.000 But we do ask for your support.
00:36:57.000 It's also created some enemies.
00:36:59.000 Created some enemies.
00:37:00.000 The most powerful company on Earth.
00:37:02.000 Alphabet.
00:37:02.000 Google.
00:37:03.000 YouTube.
00:37:04.000 Of course, Facebook.
00:37:05.000 Meta.
00:37:05.000 Been banned from TikTok.
00:37:07.000 Diageo in control of 90% of the world's advertising.
00:37:10.000 Demanding that Rumble remove us effectively if they want to be a financially viable business.
00:37:15.000 Think about that.
00:37:16.000 It's not enough when people say, go and build your own YouTube.
00:37:19.000 Go and build your own Facebook.
00:37:20.000 Okay, Rumble exists.
00:37:22.000 This show thrives on Rumble outside of YouTube.
00:37:24.000 It's the first show to do it.
00:37:26.000 And then these people, these oligarchs, effectively go in and say, uh, no, it's not enough that you guys have gotten off the platforms.
00:37:32.000 It's not our platforms, our rules.
00:37:33.000 It's our internet, our rules.
00:37:35.000 Hey, Rumble, you have to get rid of them.
00:37:38.000 And if Rumble capitulated, you wouldn't have this story.
00:37:40.000 It even includes Dunkin' Donuts.
00:37:42.000 And for laughs, you know, media matters.
00:37:44.000 Just because no one cares, but it's funny, they have someone dedicated full-time who's a Mug Club member.
00:37:49.000 So, you can use the promo code right now, Lawfare, you get $20 off.
00:37:54.000 You can click that link if you're watching on Rumble, or go to ladderwithcredit.com slash MugClub, because all of this is because of you, and we really try and earn it every day.
00:38:05.000 I tell everyone here, look, when you do a show, when you create a new piece, assume that that person has never seen you before.
00:38:11.000 You have to earn not only the trust, But you have to earn their right to tune in and watch because there's so much out there these days.
00:38:17.000 You can tune in wherever you want.
00:38:19.000 And I know that you have tip jar fatigue.
00:38:21.000 And that's why, not only on election night...
00:38:24.000 We're on election night, we are gearing up for the election livestream of the century, November 2024.
00:38:29.000 We are going to have investigative journalists, some of the people who've done some of these pieces, in major cities, in every major swing state across the country.
00:38:37.000 We are actually going to, this time, have the ability to look at real-time data and help call states and dispute states that are being called, and you will have the live electoral integrity map where, if something is happening, some shenanigans, You go to the electoral integrity map, there'll be a box, you click it, opens up, and you can see the reporting in real time so that then you can go out and amplify it so the media doesn't just memory hole pelican cases of ballots in the middle of the night in Atlanta when they claimed that a pipe burst.
00:39:04.000 So they can't just memory hole Bristol boards going up over voting precincts in Detroit or at 2 or 3 a.m.
00:39:10.000 red wagons coming in with ballots.
00:39:12.000 I'm sorry, they said camera equipment.
00:39:13.000 Camera gear, yes.
00:39:14.000 If there are enough of you in real time who get it out on election night, that's what this is for, the resources that have never been available online, they can't erase it all.
00:39:24.000 They can't stop us all.
00:39:25.000 And that's why leading up to it, we know they're going to try and shoot the messenger every week between now and election.
00:39:32.000 You've seen it with big tech.
00:39:34.000 You've seen it with intelligence agencies.
00:39:35.000 Do you feel free or are you seeing this in real time, the stealing of a nation?
00:39:42.000 This is all the culmination of months of tireless work here from the Mug Club Undercover Unit.
00:39:51.000 definition of a felony.
00:39:51.000 We are terrified.
00:39:54.000 We are terrified.
00:40:05.000 Before he decided to prosecute Trump, did you know who he was?
00:40:09.000 You did now.
00:40:11.000 You know, it's a perversion of justice.
00:40:13.000 I don't know what you're thinking.
00:40:23.000 I've already seen that.
00:40:24.000 Well, it's really hard to do a teaser when you're not allowed to tease what's coming.
00:40:27.000 I know!
00:40:27.000 Because, you know, otherwise it's hard to stay undercover.
00:40:31.000 By the way, there's more to come.
00:40:34.000 Yes.
00:40:34.000 We are not yet done fighting.
00:40:36.000 Much more.
00:40:36.000 By the way, just really quickly, I love it when I see people, you know, that join Mug Club.
00:40:39.000 By the way, if you join Mug Club, tag us on Twitter, at S Crowder, at G Morgan Jr.
00:40:43.000 X!
00:40:43.000 No, X, 20, whatever.
00:40:45.000 They know it by both.
00:40:46.000 Your stripper name.
00:40:47.000 I don't have a stripper name.
00:40:48.000 I don't have a stripper name.
00:40:49.000 Let's not do that right now.
00:40:50.000 He likes to be seen.
00:40:51.000 What I want to show you though is actually... The stripper who shall not be named.
00:40:53.000 Somebody already did reach out to us and let us know that they signed up for Mutt Club using promo code LAWFAIR.
00:40:57.000 There we go!
00:40:58.000 Fantastic!
00:41:03.000 And now he's a good guy again!
00:41:07.000 Let me just take a second and just a shout out to our Undercover Team or Mud Club Undercover Unit.
00:41:12.000 Those guys have been killing it lately.
00:41:14.000 It takes dozens of people to get stuff like this to you guys and it takes so much work late into the night every single night.
00:41:21.000 And it takes millions of dollars between now and election.
00:41:23.000 Millions of dollars.
00:41:24.000 So doing a great job.
00:41:25.000 Keep it up.
00:41:26.000 We are not done yet.
00:41:27.000 It's still a fraction of Brian Stelter's salary who, by the way, is back at CNN.
00:41:32.000 Really?
00:41:32.000 I just heard that.
00:41:33.000 I just heard that, he's gay!
00:41:40.000 You didn't hear the harmony before?
00:41:44.000 No, I didn't hear the he's gay!
00:41:47.000 Hey, I tried to do the law fair, but then it said we don't accept money from foreign nationals.
00:41:51.000 Oh no!
00:41:53.000 Bill Tennant be a good name for you.
00:41:55.000 Bill, VPN, VPN.
00:41:56.000 I'm just, I'm only half China.
00:41:59.000 Dang it.
00:42:02.000 We can't, we can't allow this on social media.
00:42:05.000 How much is Delta getting paid?
00:42:06.000 Did they say?
00:42:06.000 Do you know?
00:42:07.000 Whatever it is, that's too much.
00:42:09.000 Too much.
00:42:10.000 47 pizzas a day.
00:42:10.000 Okay.
00:42:10.000 Yeah.
00:42:15.000 Research says 10 mil.
00:42:17.000 What?
00:42:18.000 10 million?
00:42:20.000 Are you?
00:42:21.000 That's a lot of nuts!
00:42:22.000 Brian Stelter getting 10 million dollars?
00:42:24.000 No, no, no.
00:42:25.000 Are you kidding me?
00:42:26.000 Really?
00:42:27.000 He's getting 10 million dollars.
00:42:28.000 No, no, he's getting 10 million to be on or to stay away.
00:42:32.000 So guys, join Mug Club, because I said millions of dollars, like I know people get sticker shook, but that's what it costs.
00:42:37.000 Salary of 10 million for anyone at CNN.
00:42:41.000 Kill yourself!
00:42:42.000 Oh, he's not talking about Brian Stelter.
00:42:42.000 Figuratively.
00:42:45.000 It was something separate from that.
00:42:46.000 Okay.
00:42:47.000 I do know that Brian Stelter was being paid too much.
00:42:49.000 And you know what?
00:42:49.000 One thing, because I think people are going to ask this question right now.
00:42:53.000 We've mentioned this.
00:42:53.000 The Lauren Chen thing.
00:42:54.000 We've talked about that story before.
00:42:58.000 It looks really bad, right?
00:42:59.000 But that's what it is right now.
00:42:59.000 It looks really bad.
00:43:00.000 It looks really bad.
00:43:01.000 Before she's ever been convicted of anything.
00:43:03.000 Right.
00:43:03.000 Fired.
00:43:05.000 Big Tech's removed her.
00:43:06.000 Already.
00:43:07.000 And I'm not saying that... They've removed her?
00:43:09.000 Completely?
00:43:10.000 Yeah, the tenants page, her personal pages on YouTube and all that stuff.
00:43:13.000 Personal pages are removed?
00:43:14.000 She's on X. Just with an allegation.
00:43:16.000 She's on X. Now look, I understand and I'm defending, even if I disagree with somebody, I can still say that's not how this is supposed to work.
00:43:23.000 No, I don't think Blaise should have fired her over allegations, and I don't think, certainly Big Tech shouldn't remove her personal profiles.
00:43:28.000 And that doesn't defend actions, because I don't know what those are yet, but that's the kind of country we have.
00:43:31.000 We wait until those things are proven.
00:43:32.000 It looks bad, yes, fine.
00:43:34.000 It hasn't been proven yet.
00:43:35.000 And I believe we'll have Tim Pool on the show next week to talk about this quite a bit.
00:43:39.000 Look, it's not so much a story about Russian disinformation as it is financial fraud.
00:43:45.000 If the allegations are even remotely true, that does seem to be true.
00:43:48.000 Financial fraud, because there were a lot of people who didn't know the true nature of the finances.
00:43:52.000 You create fake aliases and you lie to people about someone who doesn't even exist.
00:43:55.000 Well, that's true!
00:43:56.000 If that's true, that's a problem.
00:43:58.000 It doesn't mean that there was one unified message that was Russian propaganda, because if you look at some of the people who were creating content, they didn't even share the same opinions.
00:44:08.000 If someone at the top was lying to them about the funding, that is a separate issue.
00:44:11.000 So hopefully that frames it in a way that's, you know, objective.
00:44:14.000 But yeah, they shouldn't be firing someone based on allegations.
00:44:17.000 No, and I mean, that's like when the UK... It's like, you don't fire Stelter because he's gay.
00:44:21.000 Right.
00:44:22.000 That's when the UK reached out... Can't prove it, he's married!
00:44:23.000 And told everybody... He likes brunch!
00:44:26.000 And his wife's hot bod!
00:44:27.000 Yeah!
00:44:28.000 You know, with Russell Brand, the UK reached out to Rumble and said, you can't let this guy make any money, just on charges.
00:44:32.000 And we all were up in arms.
00:44:33.000 Like, we have to be up in arms over the issue, not necessarily the person or the facts.
00:44:37.000 Like, we don't have those yet.
00:44:38.000 We have charges.
00:44:39.000 That's it.
00:44:40.000 Right.
00:44:42.000 Well, I can disclose, I was offered to work for Tenet Media.
00:44:45.000 Yeah.
00:44:45.000 Were you?
00:44:47.000 I said no, and they were mad.
00:44:48.000 But I thought I signed that contract.
00:44:49.000 Oh, jeez.
00:44:50.000 Uh-oh.
00:44:51.000 He signed it in Russia.
00:44:53.000 Yeah, look, I just— I said, no.
00:44:55.000 Look, again, I try and be— I have to be objective.
00:44:57.000 Every single person involved has been on this show at one point or another, okay?
00:45:01.000 And yes, there was a call placed just saying, like, hey, we'd like to hire you here, and it seemed fishy at the time.
00:45:07.000 Enough for me to say, no.
00:45:09.000 Also because it's been pretty important for me to maintain ownership so that I— You always— Here's the thing.
00:45:14.000 You owe in this industry.
00:45:17.000 If you take money, if someone else is giving, you owe.
00:45:20.000 That's just the nature of it, right?
00:45:22.000 If you're a business, you owe the customer.
00:45:24.000 I would much rather owe you.
00:45:27.000 If you have to serve a master, of course your first and only master should be God, but if you have to serve somebody, more so than even shareholders, but certainly investors, donors who have their own opinions, or people who can then guide the content, I would much rather be beholden to you.
00:45:44.000 And that's how this is designed.
00:45:45.000 Could we have made more money?
00:45:47.000 Sure.
00:45:48.000 Sure we could.
00:45:49.000 But this would suck, the content would suck, and we wouldn't actually be able to serve you.
00:45:57.000 I'm very grateful.
00:45:58.000 As exhausting as it can be, it's much more difficult to remain independent, to kind of be an island.
00:46:02.000 I'd much rather be in service of you than Gregorian or whatever his name was.
00:46:07.000 It's really weird that they picked a fake name that sounded like Game of Thrones.
00:46:10.000 Like a chant.
00:46:11.000 Gregorian chant?
00:46:11.000 I mean, that's weird.
00:46:13.000 That's not what it is.
00:46:15.000 I don't know.
00:46:16.000 What was that?
00:46:17.000 That was the Gregorian chants!
00:46:18.000 No it's not!
00:46:20.000 Oh, I believe that.
00:46:20.000 He sounded like he knew it.
00:46:22.000 That's what I imagine those stone heads would sound like if they talked.
00:46:25.000 Oh, the Easter Island ones?
00:46:26.000 I don't know why they're doing the Hanson some Stop it. Oh drop in the followers. I hate it. Yeah, and a
00:46:39.000 bird All right, I
00:46:44.000 Hate all of you Let's go back to Big Tech, because they're evil.
00:46:50.000 So, Gerald did, and this is a little bit of a recap of what you just saw, but there are also some funny... I want to make a point here.
00:46:56.000 Why does it always happen to me?
00:46:57.000 Oh, shut up, X. Now, the reason this is...
00:47:02.000 Funny to me is because, you know, I did at one point work just as a contributor to Fox News when I was young, before Mug Club.
00:47:10.000 I was just a comedian and would contribute to Fox News.
00:47:12.000 I've worked at other companies, of course, and if you ever perform at comedy clubs, right, you're effectively, sometimes you have to cater to them.
00:47:20.000 It's just it's it's one of those instances where I used to have to do radio shows a lot and if I would appear on cable used to be a kind of a cat-and-mouse game of the FCC right you can say this you can't say that and you'd have people get a little upset you know back in the day Opie and Anthony and Howard Stern it was kind of this this sort of friendly rivalry But the censorship was coming from the FCC, and at least you knew where it was coming from.
00:47:43.000 And we thought, hey, once we got it, they went to satellite radio.
00:47:45.000 The internet, hey, the censors are gone.
00:47:48.000 Only now it's so much worse, and censorship has been crowdsourced.
00:47:53.000 Where now you have comedians, who work entirely blue, editing out the word butt on their Instagram Reels.
00:48:00.000 Nipple.
00:48:01.000 Yeah, the word nipple.
00:48:03.000 And not to mention, of course, political points of view.
00:48:05.000 And so that's the problem with crowdsourcing censorship.
00:48:07.000 You have people who can now go, I don't like this point of view, community guideline or some kind of a community note.
00:48:14.000 Sorry, community guideline is YouTube.
00:48:15.000 We're going to post a community note, which could result, depending on the platform, in throttling.
00:48:20.000 At least you had some kind of reasonable expectation of the censors.
00:48:24.000 That's What's so perverse about quote-unquote cancel culture is now you have a bunch of people who've been given the power of the FCC and they're not just saying you can't say something scatological, they're saying you can't say something that we disagree with.
00:48:39.000 So we talked about Big Tech themselves, Meta, Facebook, actively censoring content, but even on X, this video from Gerald pointing out the censorship was then met with community notes.
00:48:51.000 I just think it's funny, but here was the video.
00:48:53.000 Pretty tame video, Gerald.
00:48:53.000 and you've been reaching out to us and saying hey I'm trying to share this
00:48:57.000 story I'm trying to get this out on Facebook and they're not letting me
00:49:00.000 share this so we went and tried it ourselves guess what Facebook is back in
00:49:05.000 the business of making sure you do not see information that pertains to the
00:49:09.000 election in Donald Trump they are keeping you just like they did from the
00:49:12.000 Hunter Biden laptop story they are pretty tame video Gerald standing the
00:49:15.000 truth could use a microphone this election and the impact that this is
00:49:21.000 going to have in our country a week after we had Mark Zuckerberg come out
00:49:24.000 and say that he regretted doing those things and yet he's back up to his old
00:49:28.000 tricks again what are we to believe mark you don't want people to see this you
00:49:31.000 don't want people to be able to share it you don't want people to be able to see
00:49:34.000 that Donald Trump is being targeted and that he is not a felon
00:49:38.000 And then certain ex-users hit that video with a community note.
00:49:43.000 The proposed note was, "...context needed.
00:49:43.000 That's not nice.
00:49:45.000 A private company determining what information they want their consumers to see or advertisers to support is not impeding someone's ability to vote, which is election interference.
00:49:55.000 No citizen is obligated to pass forward anything they are handed as per the First Amendment."
00:50:01.000 So you know that a liberal proposed this because it's bullshit.
00:50:03.000 Source Wikipedia.
00:50:04.000 They said it with a little bit of sass.
00:50:06.000 By the way, it was a lot of sass.
00:50:07.000 Do me a favor and scroll up just a little bit so I can read the last, just for that quote right there.
00:50:11.000 I just want to read the last part.
00:50:12.000 Is not impeding someone's ability to vote.
00:50:15.000 So you think election interference is me parking my car in front of them as they walk to the ballot box, you moron?
00:50:21.000 What I'm saying is, you're trying to get somebody to go and vote a different way.
00:50:26.000 You're trying to interfere with their ability to make a reasoned decision by what you allow them to see, idiots.
00:50:33.000 Yes.
00:50:34.000 They think the only form of election interference is requiring an ID.
00:50:37.000 Yes, exactly.
00:50:39.000 And this is the tired old argument.
00:50:41.000 You know, I used to be a libertarian, too, back when I really cared about weed, even though I didn't use it.
00:50:47.000 Then I realized, hold on a second, we are already at the point of censorship.
00:50:52.000 We are already at the point of the First Amendment being violated, because especially now we know that big tech acts as an arm, a strong arm of government. Let me be really
00:51:02.000 clear about this too. Per section 230, platforms like Facebook, okay, they're allowed to moderate
00:51:07.000 content. And this is Bill's, half-Asian Bill Richmond's wheelhouse, but based on very
00:51:12.000 specific parameters as to not be a violation of the First Amendment.
00:51:17.000 Let me give you some quotes here.
00:51:19.000 Any action voluntarily taken in good faith to restrict access to or availability of material that the provider or user considers to be obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable, it does not include outright censoring political viewpoints, and certainly not Gerald's commentary therein pointing out seeming collusion between meta and The government or the DOJ.
00:51:46.000 That would be a violation.
00:51:46.000 I'm sorry.
00:51:47.000 Yeah, not collusion, just a mistake again that goes in one direction.
00:51:51.000 A mistake!
00:51:52.000 We corrected it the next day.
00:51:53.000 Oh, by the way, here's another example of a mistake.
00:51:56.000 Pull this up, this side-by-side.
00:51:58.000 J.D.
00:51:59.000 Vance says, school shootings are a fact of life, calls for better security.
00:52:02.000 2.2 million views.
00:52:05.000 What he actually said is he laments that this is a fact of life.
00:52:09.000 I'm not even kidding.
00:52:10.000 This is from the AP saying that.
00:52:12.000 The post that he put up that corrected it?
00:52:14.000 100,000 views.
00:52:14.000 Exactly.
00:52:17.000 2.2 million views on the lie, which everybody ran with.
00:52:19.000 By the way, I don't know if you saw that on Dwight.
00:52:21.000 A lie by omission.
00:52:21.000 J.D.
00:52:22.000 Vance says this is just a fact of life and we're gonna have to get used to it, right?
00:52:25.000 And they're campaigning on that.
00:52:26.000 I guarantee you an email went out from everybody asking for money for the Kamala Harris campaign because J.D.
00:52:30.000 Vance said it's a fact of life for school shootings.
00:52:33.000 They come back and go, oops, 100,000 views.
00:52:35.000 Also, by the way, I wasn't that upset.
00:52:38.000 Do you know why?
00:52:39.000 It is a fact of life.
00:52:41.000 We just lived through a school shooting.
00:52:42.000 They happened.
00:52:42.000 Yeah.
00:52:43.000 You know what else is a fact of life?
00:52:44.000 Rape.
00:52:45.000 Violence!
00:52:46.000 Murder!
00:52:47.000 Because it's a fact of human nature, and so we try and mitigate it through a system of laws.
00:52:53.000 Not school shootings.
00:52:53.000 We don't protect our schools.
00:52:54.000 We just yell about guns.
00:52:56.000 Kamala Harris voted against having, I believe, or was actively campaigning against having armed guards.
00:52:56.000 Well, that's true.
00:53:01.000 That's true.
00:53:02.000 Has an AR-15 ever been convicted of a crime?
00:53:03.000 I don't know if we've actually... I'm not entirely sure.
00:53:05.000 We do have a lawyer here.
00:53:07.000 No, but I will say I did get a call when Gerald did that video and Facebook, the lawyers, asked me if I thought that Gerald was lewd and I did agree.
00:53:17.000 Yes.
00:53:18.000 So that might have been my fault.
00:53:19.000 Well, yeah, exactly.
00:53:20.000 I think everything that Gerald does is obscene.
00:53:24.000 Yes.
00:53:24.000 Wait, what?
00:53:25.000 It's why we didn't include the sex tape that he included at the end of that clip.
00:53:28.000 I mean, no, but actually that part they thought would be informative.
00:53:28.000 Right, right.
00:53:31.000 Yeah, exactly.
00:53:32.000 Yeah, it was excessively violent against Gerald.
00:53:33.000 They thought it had scientific merit on micropenis syndrome.
00:53:35.000 Yeah, it's just these definitions are really hard.
00:53:37.000 You know, they're really hard.
00:53:38.000 It's just like this, AP is supposed to be trustworthy.
00:53:41.000 He says, I don't like that this is a fact of life, and you truncate that quote down to, it is a fact of life?
00:53:45.000 Well, let's just walk this through, and I want to get to Section 230 with Bill, but I want to walk this through.
00:53:53.000 If he didn't say, I lament that it's a fact of life, but he said, hey, you know, school shootings right now are a fact of life.
00:53:59.000 Okay.
00:53:59.000 The counter-argument would have to be, it's not a fact of life to me!
00:54:03.000 Okay, Kamala Harris, look behind you.
00:54:06.000 There was a school shooting.
00:54:07.000 It's now a fact of life!
00:54:09.000 What are you going to do about it?
00:54:11.000 Right.
00:54:11.000 And here's what she wanted to do about it in 2019 until she flip-flops on a position.
00:54:15.000 She wants to remove cops from schools to fight racial inequalities.
00:54:19.000 No, inequities.
00:54:19.000 Inequities.
00:54:20.000 That's a different word.
00:54:21.000 It's a different word.
00:54:22.000 Admonish me if you need to.
00:54:23.000 Way worse.
00:54:23.000 I don't think that's an admonish.
00:54:25.000 Fighting inequality, good.
00:54:27.000 Fighting inequity...
00:54:29.000 It doesn't mean anything.
00:54:30.000 But, Bill, people talk about this quite a bit, like Section 230, like, well, it's not a violation of the First Amendment for a private company, and they used to say that quite a bit.
00:54:37.000 I think a lot of people have had their eyes opened, but certainly after the last month where Diageo went to Rumble and said, even if it's off of YouTube now, we're going to guarantee that you can't make money unless you remove these voices.
00:54:53.000 Is it just a private company issue when they're talking about something like this, the First Amendment?
00:54:58.000 It isn't.
00:54:58.000 So there's two different aspects of it.
00:55:00.000 One, you've got Section 230 and its limited scope, but how it's been broadened over and over and over again by the courts, particularly California's Ninth Circuit that covers the West Coast on the federal side.
00:55:10.000 But the bigger issue here is that as a matter of just simple law, it's a fraudulent issue.
00:55:18.000 The question of are you being able to gather all of these people, say that your platform
00:55:22.000 is open, that you're enforcing these rules in the right way, when really you're not.
00:55:26.000 You've got these shadow algorithms, you've got the shadow banning that's occurring, you're
00:55:29.000 putting your thumb on the scale as Mark Zuckerberg has said at the request of the government.
00:55:34.000 When the government is making those kinds of requests, that is directly implicating a First Amendment issue, even if you have private fraud that's occurring when companies say, yeah, bring all your opinions, bring your tired, your poor, your opinions, and we'll all discuss them, and they're like, but not these ones!
00:55:51.000 Nope, not that one.
00:55:52.000 That one is too dangerous to disprove.
00:55:56.000 Because that's what they're saying.
00:55:57.000 We cannot even have a healthy discussion around this thing, because we've seen everyone,
00:56:04.000 as every media outlet has had to make a retraction or clarify a story or do something.
00:56:10.000 But I think the JD Vance example is one where there's an active twisting
00:56:15.000 of the words that are occurring.
00:56:17.000 And when you allow that to naturally come up, maybe you're not even boosting it, right?
00:56:21.000 But by suppressing everything else, you have changed the landscape
00:56:25.000 of the information that's occurring and prevented people from evaluating the media
00:56:30.000 and taking it with a grain of salt and thus being able to truly participate.
00:56:33.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:56:35.000 People often point to the example of Trent and say, you're a hypocrite, conservative.
00:56:37.000 Remember, what about the gay wedding?
00:56:39.000 The baker, huh?
00:56:41.000 You didn't want them to have to bake a cake.
00:56:43.000 Well, now you want to force Facebook or you want to force Google, YouTube?
00:56:46.000 Okay, hold on a second.
00:56:47.000 Let me give you a better comparison because what happened is you had, there's also a story with a pizzeria back then, but you had a baker.
00:56:55.000 Or a bakery who said, well, it's a violation of our religious conscience.
00:56:58.000 We will bake you a cake if they're gay.
00:57:01.000 We have no problem.
00:57:01.000 We bake plenty of cakes for people who are gay, lesbian, but we don't want to bake a cake for a gay wedding because that violates our religious conscience.
00:57:10.000 Here's a list of other bakeries that could serve you.
00:57:12.000 Okay.
00:57:13.000 People say that it's inconsistent for conservatives to say that business shouldn't have to violate their conscience.
00:57:18.000 All right.
00:57:19.000 Here's what's happened with Facebook, Meta, Google.
00:57:23.000 All right.
00:57:24.000 We won't bake your cake because you're gay.
00:57:27.000 We're the only bakery in town.
00:57:29.000 Oh, wait, another bakery's trying to open up.
00:57:31.000 Hey, hold on a second.
00:57:31.000 Rumble Bakery?
00:57:32.000 No, no, no, no, no.
00:57:33.000 Don't allow them.
00:57:34.000 Don't allow them at your bakery or we'll make sure that your business is shut down.
00:57:38.000 That's the analogy.
00:57:40.000 Starting to get the picture?
00:57:41.000 Yeah.
00:57:42.000 By the way, we do have a picture of Chris Pavlosky when everybody comes to him, you know, the advertising 90% and, you know, the governments around the world, the UK, France, and Brazil.
00:57:50.000 This is why he can stand up to those people pretty well.
00:57:52.000 Yes.
00:57:52.000 Very nice.
00:57:53.000 Very nice.
00:57:54.000 Chris Pavlosky don't care.
00:57:58.000 Zuckerberg.
00:57:59.000 I don't know why I wanted to use that.
00:58:00.000 I always love that picture.
00:58:01.000 Gerald produced that one.
00:58:03.000 It was the first mass forward.
00:58:05.000 Gerald has a fat head of that on his wall in his bedroom.
00:58:09.000 He also has a bobble head in his drawer, but it's not the head.
00:58:16.000 A bobble bottom?
00:58:17.000 Whatever those things are called.
00:58:19.000 You know the thing the balls that go?
00:58:19.000 It's just a thing?
00:58:21.000 No, I understand.
00:58:21.000 Yeah, it's like a scientific thing.
00:58:23.000 Newton's Cradle.
00:58:24.000 Newton's Cradle?
00:58:25.000 Newton's Cradle.
00:58:26.000 Was that a gray squirrel?
00:58:26.000 See, I was right.
00:58:27.000 Wait, did Billy say that?
00:58:28.000 Was that a gray squirrel?
00:58:29.000 That is the last person in the room that I thought, was that a squirrel or was it, I was thinking of Honey Badger, I don't know.
00:58:33.000 Or a lemur.
00:58:33.000 It was a squirrel.
00:58:34.000 That was a flying squirrel.
00:58:35.000 With elephantitis of the balls.
00:58:36.000 Come on, show some respect.
00:58:38.000 You sure know a lot about elephantiasis of the balls.
00:58:40.000 It's hilarious when a squirrel has giant nuts!
00:58:43.000 It's not that funny.
00:58:45.000 It's kind of normal, actually.
00:58:47.000 I really need some comments on this.
00:58:49.000 Someone's got to comment.
00:58:50.000 I need to know.
00:58:51.000 Okay, fine.
00:58:51.000 There was another one from... Do you like this one better?
00:58:54.000 Is that better?
00:58:55.000 Yeah, that one works great.
00:58:57.000 Can you send the nuts picture to Bill for later?
00:59:01.000 These are the photos that don't come to me before they're aired, yes.
00:59:05.000 Chris is suing us, he's like, accurate representation, but I don't like it.
00:59:08.000 I just texted Chris, I was like, yep, this is lewd.
00:59:12.000 I think my point is being proven, as we sit here.
00:59:15.000 It's lascivious.
00:59:16.000 Somebody clip that and get it to Chris.
00:59:18.000 So Zuckerberg did admit, by the way, that the White House and FBI officials, just to be clear, I want to reiterate this, when people say First Amendment, private company, Zuckerberg admitted the White House, FBI officials reached out and specifically requested Facebook censor content relating to COVID, relating to the Hunter Biden laptop.
00:59:35.000 But that's not the only time it's happened.
00:59:37.000 Other examples, of course, you have the Twitter files, that has taken place and Elon shined a light on that.
00:59:42.000 Joe Rogan on Spotify, when you had Jen Psaki asking for them to moderate content.
00:59:48.000 You had the great Barrington Declaration, right?
00:59:49.000 This was censored during, you're talking about during COVID and doctors who came out.
00:59:52.000 The Vox Adpocalypse, where since we didn't violate any community guidelines, Google, YouTube, the alphabet,
00:59:58.000 I was about to say Network Alphabet.
01:00:00.000 They own Google and YouTube, by the way.
01:00:01.000 Those two are one and the same.
01:00:02.000 You may not know that.
01:00:03.000 A lot of people don't.
01:00:04.000 Sometimes we're too close to it to realize that a lot of people think they're two separate entities.
01:00:08.000 They decided if you don't violate the guidelines, we won't remove you, we'll demonetize you, and as a byproduct, of course, your channel will be completely throttled.
01:00:16.000 This has been going on for a very long period of time, and we know that the government is working directly with them.
01:00:22.000 But don't take my word for it, First Amendment.
01:00:26.000 Our hope is that all major tech platforms and all major news sources, for that matter, be responsible and be vigilant to ensure the American people have access to accurate information on something as significant as COVID-19.
01:00:38.000 That certainly includes Spotify.
01:00:40.000 That again is another trap.
01:00:41.000 Because when you talk about the Barrington, the Great Barrington Declaration, what they say in there and then what is implied are two different
01:00:49.000 things. Let everybody get infected that's going to be able to be getting infected and then we'll
01:00:55.000 have herd immunity. Quite frankly, that is nonsense.
01:00:58.000 Enter the Twitter files. Over the past few weeks, journalists picked by Elon Musk have
01:01:02.000 been given access to some of Twitter's internal systems and communications. Matt Taibbi is
01:01:07.000 one of them.
01:01:08.000 They have a whole universe of stuff that they can do to any single account.
01:01:14.000 They can dial it all the way down to you cannot be searched.
01:01:18.000 All the way up to your account will not trend.
01:01:20.000 Nina, do you think the disinformation board was the victim of, in fact, misinformation given the backlash it saw?
01:01:28.000 Actually, Jamie, I would say that the Disinformation Governance Board was the victim of disinformation.
01:01:33.000 So we have a higher standard for monetization, so then we did announce the monetization change that Steven Crowder was his monetization strategy.
01:01:39.000 So was that in reaction to people reacting to you not reacting, or was that something you were already planning to do and just hadn't got around to announcing?
01:01:46.000 No, we were in the process of looking at that.
01:01:49.000 YouTube dragged its feet before taking any action against conservative commentator Stephen Crowder, despite being informed of Crowder's two-year homophobic harassment campaign against journalist Carla Maza.
01:02:02.000 Time you shut your cake hole, Yoko!
01:02:05.000 Oh, God! Very choice.
01:02:13.000 Stephen, you would never say that to my mom's face.
01:02:15.000 No, I wouldn't.
01:02:16.000 I'm too busy engaging in homophobic harassment.
01:02:19.000 She's too short to actually hit you in the face, but yeah.
01:02:22.000 Homophobic harassment.
01:02:25.000 It was longer than two years ago.
01:02:26.000 Yes, it was significantly longer than two years.
01:02:28.000 I mean, come on!
01:02:29.000 And it's Carlos, not Carla, but I guess today that's... She was harassing a homo!
01:02:34.000 That's right!
01:02:34.000 She deadnamed him.
01:02:35.000 Yeah, she did.
01:02:36.000 I don't know.
01:02:36.000 I don't know the rules anymore.
01:02:37.000 And by the way, if you're not paying attention yet, please, I hope that you are, and if you are not convinced as to where your dollar goes, you're with Mug Club.

01:02:57.000 Eastern.
01:02:58.000 And actually, in good news, before we're going to take Mug Club chat in a little bit, I know we have a lot of new members, and we don't have an update from Merchant yet, or Donald Trump's press conference.
01:03:07.000 Not yet.
01:03:07.000 There was no specific time that he was supposed to come out with his ruling, but people expected it to be this morning.
01:03:12.000 Right.
01:03:12.000 So press conference from Donald Trump is still set for 12 Eastern.
01:03:15.000 Well, it's a good time because pressure's on, and it seems like the tides are changing or turning quite a bit.
01:03:21.000 Nate Silver, who now the left hates, even though they loved him for a long time, he now changed, I believe last night, the chances at winning the election.
