00:01:44.000 🎵 Glad to be with you.

00:01:53.000 I apologize.

00:01:54.000 I do have a lozenge in my throat.

00:01:56.000 That's what happens when you have a birthday party for three-year-olds.

00:01:59.000 I'm getting sick?

00:02:00.000 We are all getting sick.

00:02:02.000 No one is getting out of this without it.

00:02:04.000 So I apologize.

00:02:05.000 But it was a lot of fun.

00:02:06.000 A little overkill with that.

00:02:08.000 The bouncy water slide.

00:02:09.000 That was a 70-foot slide.

00:02:10.000 Yeah, it was a 70-foot slide.

00:02:12.000 Hey, sorry I popped it.

00:02:13.000 It was like when you get a rental car and you're like, oh, all we have is the upgrade.

00:02:17.000 You're like, I guess I'll drive a Maserati or whatever it is.

00:02:20.000 One time I had two skis, but they were like, oh, we don't have the one that you paid for, so we'll just give you the big one.

00:02:25.000 I was like, okay.

00:02:26.000 Really?

00:02:28.000 It was bigger than the house.

00:02:30.000 It was tall.

00:02:30.000 It was very tall.

00:02:32.000 All right, we all had a good time.

00:02:33.000 But hey, A lot to get to today. 0.94

00:02:36.000 Kamala Harris is a drunk.

00:02:37.000 Now, I'm not going to say that she's an alcoholic, because that is a medical condition. 0.95

00:02:41.000 It's different.

00:02:42.000 Apparently.

00:02:43.000 And it's the only medical condition that makes you feel really good sometimes.

00:02:47.000 But she is absolutely a drunk. 1.00

00:02:51.000 And I know people are talking about it, but we have catalog.

00:02:53.000 We've gone back through the catalog and made sure that there's no fake news included, because some things have been doctored out there.

00:03:01.000 And we also have, of course, her economic policy.

00:03:03.000 She released We were talking about price fixing last week, and now she's going to do the price fixing. 1.00

00:03:08.000 So that's going to be in there.

00:03:10.000 And we also have, of course, we have Mr. Figueredo on here today.

00:03:15.000 Paulo Figueredo, because Elon Musk is now banning, not banning, he's just not going to be practicing in Brazil.

00:03:20.000 He's closing down his offices because of a Supreme Court justice there.

00:03:22.000 We've talked about it quite a bit in the show.

00:03:24.000 Brazil, we see you, we hear you, and we love you!

00:03:30.000 Most of the ladies, because it's well known. 0.89

00:03:32.000 It's well known.

00:03:33.000 Everyone's running.

00:03:34.000 It's Miss Venezuela, Miss Brazil, and everyone's running for second place after that.

00:03:38.000 So, if you at any point today see this, head on over to Rumble.

00:03:44.000 It's a live show.

00:03:45.000 Weekdays, 10 a.m.

00:03:46.000 It's one of the few shows where, you know, We do it live, without Annette, as I'm sure you can tell by me talking about a bouncy slide.

00:03:46.000 Eastern.

00:03:52.000 It was just on our mind because we're all talking about it.

00:03:54.000 It was like, it ends up being more a party for the parents.

00:03:57.000 Question, if you could name a cocktail after Kamala Harris, what would you name it?

00:04:01.000 What would be in it?

00:04:02.000 That's a good question.

00:04:04.000 We have a few of our own.

00:04:05.000 Number two, Captain Morgan, CEO, how are you?

00:04:07.000 I'm doing well.

00:04:07.000 I'm trying not to say things that would get me in trouble.

00:04:10.000 The cocktail names!

00:04:11.000 They just make themselves, okay?

00:04:13.000 Yes, they do.

00:04:13.000 I'm not going to say any of them.

00:04:14.000 How are you?

00:04:15.000 Yeah?

00:04:15.000 A little sick?

00:04:15.000 I'm good.

00:04:16.000 Throat's okay? 0.98

00:04:17.000 It's okay.

00:04:17.000 You know.

00:04:18.000 Which one did you go with?

00:04:18.000 Did you go with the full throttle?

00:04:20.000 No, I went with the one with the Swedish guy with the bugle.

00:04:23.000 Ah.

00:04:26.000 And when you hear this, you know him.

00:04:30.000 September 19th at the Big Laugh Comedy Club in Fort Worth, Texas.

00:04:30.000 You love him.

00:04:35.000 You can follow him on Instagram, Jay Firestein.

00:04:38.000 How are you, sir?

00:04:39.000 I'm good.

00:04:40.000 I want to answer the question.

00:04:41.000 I would call it a Kamalapalitan and it would have Valium in it.

00:04:47.000 I would call.

00:04:48.000 Just a glass of pills.

00:04:49.000 I mean it has booze in it also and a little cherry. 0.54

00:04:52.000 You can also have a Kamala on the beach or a sex in the mayor's office. 0.74

00:04:58.000 Either way. 0.99

00:04:59.000 Sex in the bay they used to call it. 0.98

00:05:00.000 Sex in the DA. 0.98

00:05:02.000 Well sex in the hospice probably now. 0.96

00:05:05.000 You could call it side piece. 0.99

00:05:07.000 Isn't there a fuzzy nipple drink? 1.00

00:05:08.000 I would say it'd be a hairy nipple. 1.00

00:05:09.000 Side piece. 0.99

00:05:10.000 Hairy nipple? 0.99

00:05:11.000 Hey! 0.99

00:05:11.000 It's a classic drink of... Don't talk about my mom like that. 0.99

00:05:14.000 Cognac, triple sec, Cointreau.

00:05:15.000 But a lot of people don't know the side car.

00:05:17.000 Are you aware of the five classic cocktails?

00:05:18.000 Oh my god.

00:05:19.000 Comment below.

00:05:19.000 There are five classic cocktails that are the basis for all cocktails.

00:05:22.000 If you don't know, you're not a man.

00:05:23.000 One of them is the tour bus.

00:05:25.000 One of them is Air Force Two.

00:05:27.000 Are you giving out the answers?

00:05:29.000 Oh, sorry.

00:05:31.000 Before we get to any of that, here's something that, you know, every now and then, look, the Paul brothers do something kind of right.

00:05:41.000 So, the upcoming fight with Mike Tyson, which I'm sure will take place, Jake Paul actually had some comments for New York, and this is what happens after you meet President Trump once.

00:05:57.000 He's playing the new Spider-Man.

00:06:03.000 That's fun.

00:06:05.000 He got a red pill.

00:06:07.000 Just like Mike Tyson, you were good 20 years ago. 1.00

00:06:11.000 You New Yorker, f*** you. 1.00

00:06:13.000 He's playing the new Spider-Man. 1.00

00:06:15.000 Democratic city.

00:06:17.000 It's fun.

00:06:19.000 He got a red bill.

00:06:21.000 Fact check true.

00:06:23.000 He's making boxing like the new WWE.

00:06:25.000 He is.

00:06:27.000 I don't know.

00:06:29.000 He is.

00:06:30.000 People who are under the age of like 24, is that actually how you dress?

00:06:35.000 Because I've never been trendy no matter what.

00:06:37.000 You can see me when I was like 15, 18, 20, 30.

00:06:41.000 I've pretty much always just tried to wear things that fit, and I get that there's in style.

00:06:44.000 But is it like the bad NSYNC days?

00:06:47.000 Is that the new style?

00:06:48.000 Because that's what I see them doing, and you know what?

00:06:50.000 Maybe I just don't get it.

00:06:52.000 The Two-Face suit?

00:06:53.000 He's like the black and white cookie if it was made of newspaper.

00:06:57.000 Ebony and Ivory.

00:06:59.000 I don't know what that style is.

00:06:59.000 Yes.

00:07:01.000 I'm not cool, dude.

00:07:02.000 No, I don't know what it is.

00:07:03.000 I just wear jeans and t-shirts, you know?

00:07:05.000 I'm old school.

00:07:06.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:07:07.000 I think he does too, except, you know, he just ruins them.

00:07:09.000 So! 0.81

00:07:10.000 It's been 28 days.

00:07:13.000 Since Kamala Harris has been the nominee and she still has given zero formal interviews, zero official press conferences, but credit where it's due, she finally went off script and answered a question.

00:07:32.000 It didn't go great.

00:07:33.000 Didn't they make a movie about this?

00:07:35.000 Yeah, that makes sense.

00:07:37.000 Which brings us to... Scary times!

00:07:37.000 Oh!

00:07:40.000 Which brings us to, and this will set up, of course, the segment we have on Is She a Drunk? 0.99

00:07:43.000 The answer is yes, but we'll prove why today in Kamala.

00:07:47.000 I can imagine what can be and be unburdened by what has been, you know?

00:07:54.000 Our election is about understanding the importance of this beautiful country of ours in terms of what we stand for around the globe as a democracy.

00:08:04.000 I'm buying pickles and barbecue sauce.

00:08:09.000 As a democracy.

00:08:10.000 Ah, Dougie, there they are.

00:08:13.000 Thank you.

00:08:15.000 You want this?

00:08:17.000 There you go.

00:08:19.000 You want corn nuts over there?

00:08:21.000 We know there's a duality to the nature of democracy.

00:08:26.000 Do you wear your ears on?

00:08:28.000 I do, and this is my go-to, the original nacho cheese.

00:08:32.000 Incredibly strong and incredibly fragile.

00:08:38.000 Knowing that you will be undefeated even if you don't win every game, but no circumstance or event or moment will defeat your spirit.

00:08:47.000 That was her voice?

00:08:50.000 Well, haven't had it today.

00:08:53.000 One day at a time.

00:08:54.000 One day at a time.

00:08:56.000 I can imagine what can be and be unburdened by what has been, you know?

00:09:02.000 So the thing that stands out to me from all those clips is that no one around her seems even remotely content.

00:09:09.000 I just... Yes.

00:09:12.000 The people in the background are all just like... Which makes sense when you understand how abusive alcoholics can be.

00:09:18.000 So another... Drunks.

00:09:20.000 Drunks.

00:09:21.000 Not alcoholics.

00:09:21.000 ...clip has resurfaced, I guess, where Kamala is talking to a crowd in Madison, Wisconsin.

00:09:27.000 There's been some speculation.

00:09:29.000 And by speculation, I mean you have eyes and ears.

00:09:32.000 I wanted to come by to thank you.

00:09:35.000 She's drunk.

00:09:36.000 Thank you.

00:09:38.000 Because when we think about the strength of our democracy, you know, I think that there's a duality to the nature of democracy.

00:09:45.000 She had to gain her center of gravity.

00:09:47.000 When it's intact, oh, it's so strong.

00:09:51.000 She's saying lines from her scripted speech.

00:09:52.000 In terms of what it does to uphold and protect individual rights and freedoms.

00:09:58.000 It's so strong in its nature.

00:10:02.000 I feel like having a beer right now.

00:10:03.000 Very fragile.

00:10:08.000 It will only be as strong as our willingness to fight for it.

00:10:14.000 Will it only be as strong as our willingness?

00:10:16.000 It's very strong.

00:10:19.000 Our willingness to fight.

00:10:20.000 Bring it in for a hug.

00:10:23.000 Thank you.

00:10:26.000 Thank you so much.

00:10:31.000 Let's be honest, it was basically an instructional.

00:10:33.000 This has led the internet to do some digging and then we had to verify.

00:10:38.000 Okay, what out there, what that exists in the internet here is true because there's some clips out there that are slowed down, there are some that are edited, I think some have used some AI, so what I can tell you is you can check all the references at lotterworthcreditor.com, link in the description.

00:10:52.000 What you are about to see, these are accurate clips from the original sources.

00:10:56.000 And I will be careful with my wording and refer to them as drunk adjacent.

00:10:56.000 Oh no.

00:11:03.000 Everything is in context.

00:11:05.000 My mother used to, she would give us a hard time sometimes and she would say to us, I don't know what's wrong with you young people.

00:11:12.000 You think you just fell out of a coconut tree?

00:11:16.000 Our extraordinary President Joe Biden!

00:11:20.000 And he's going to speak in a minute, but there's a lot of love and history for our president.

00:11:26.000 Worst toast ever.

00:11:27.000 Is it getting a fresh choking?

00:11:28.000 Yeah, it's being delivered tomorrow.

00:11:31.000 One minute out, I have one minute.

00:11:33.000 Kosher salt, fresh ground pepper, maybe top up a little thyme.

00:11:39.000 And just, and then you can mix it even a little.

00:11:41.000 Okay, so do the salt and pepper all over it.

00:11:43.000 Like, just like lather that baby up.

00:11:46.000 I call myself a joyful warrior.

00:11:50.000 Right?

00:11:51.000 No.

00:11:51.000 You could also chop up, but not with the thyme, just the salt and pepper.

00:11:55.000 No thyme.

00:11:56.000 Mix that up also with some thyme.

00:11:58.000 You could even do a little rosemary if you want.

00:12:00.000 Under the skin with some butter before you're gonna cook it.

00:12:04.000 Never let anyone take your joy from you.

00:12:07.000 That's her favorite short name.

00:12:09.000 You do what you gotta do. 1.00

00:12:11.000 And as a woman, there's a balance to be struck between being tough and being a bitch. 1.00

00:12:23.000 Bitch! 1.00

00:12:27.000 Yes, America, you're about to be ruled potentially by Pinterest Mom. 1.00

00:12:32.000 Here, baby, have some, go to sleep.

00:12:38.000 **laughter** President Kamala Harris, or as they know her at the bar, Handy Harris, because let's be... That's a long line of guys. 1.00

00:12:47.000 Do you think it was like, maybe like Hennessy, or do you think it's like an India Pale Ale?

00:12:52.000 Well... I just want to know.

00:12:54.000 She's drunker than I was in my mug shot.

00:12:55.000 Have you seen that?

00:12:57.000 And Nick Nolte.

00:12:58.000 Kalua Kamala is, that's what they're, I can imagine, Kalua Kamala, that's what they're calling her, Kalua Kamala.

00:13:05.000 At VP Irish Car Bomb.

00:13:09.000 I hear she's creamy but smooth going down. 1.00

00:13:14.000 She looks almost as drunk as her husband when he has to light her Kwanzaa candles.

00:13:20.000 That's the three symbols of African unity, even though no one in Africa celebrates it.

00:13:27.000 Or India, don't know what she is. 1.00

00:13:29.000 She looks like she's playing rock, paper, stroke, is what she looks like. 1.00

00:13:32.000 Well, stroke always wins.

00:13:36.000 And her family's there!

00:13:37.000 Now, I'm not saying that Donald Trump should focus on this.

00:13:43.000 He absolutely should not.

00:13:45.000 But we can spend time on this because it's funny, and personal opinion, I absolutely think that she was soused. 0.67

00:13:50.000 I just want to be very, very clear.

00:13:52.000 Oh yeah, yeah.

00:13:53.000 She answered her first question this morning.

00:13:53.000 Actually, they interviewed her.

00:13:55.000 They said, what have you been doing the last three years?

00:13:58.000 She said, give me a break, I was drunk.

00:14:02.000 I can't remember.

00:14:03.000 She's the only person who's going to have to blow into a device so Air Force One can lift off. 1.00

00:14:12.000 Everybody should troll our campaign and just mail her those little BAC things, the portable breathalyzers that you can take. 1.00

00:14:18.000 Get me past this!

00:14:19.000 Come on, do it! 0.96

00:14:20.000 Right now, Kamala!

00:14:20.000 Look, here's the thing, and you guys, if you guys want to send, you know, tips to us, lwctipsatprotonmail.com, if you work in the hotels, show us how many of the miniature bottles are missing from the minibar.

00:14:32.000 Just show us a picture.

00:14:34.000 Gotta be able to prove it.

00:14:37.000 So look, we can't say, and I question you genuinely, do you think she's a drunkard?

00:14:43.000 Yes.

00:14:43.000 Um, I can't say, but we can tell you... I think she just likes brunch.

00:14:48.000 Yes, she just likes brunch, her and Brian Stelzner.

00:14:50.000 Every meal is brunch.

00:14:52.000 During her time in the Senate, she was a part of the Wine Caucus.

00:14:56.000 That's fine, but... She picks up her wine owners using a pseudonym. 0.97

00:15:01.000 She does seem to host a lot of late night ragers with lady senators. 1.00

00:15:05.000 She drinks her wine with ice, which is probably the most offensive portion of it all.

00:15:08.000 She also had a line of whiskey inspired by her.

00:15:12.000 Also, she finds herself tremendously inspired by whiskey.

00:15:15.000 Is it Mad Dog 2024?

00:15:21.000 And they are making a movie about her life, which you seem, it seems like this may be foreshadowing starring Denzel Washington called Vices.

00:15:29.000 I was drunk.

00:15:30.000 I'm drunk now.

00:15:39.000 I'm drunk.

00:15:42.000 Thank you.

00:15:46.000 I'm drunk right now.

00:15:48.000 laughter laughter

00:15:52.000 They went with a more serious, less laughing version.

00:15:54.000 laughter I'm drunk right now, okay?

00:15:57.000 How else are you supposed to go down on Willie Brown, right?

00:16:00.000 You tell me, huh? 1.00

00:16:02.000 Them saggy-ass balls. 1.00

00:16:04.000 Saggy-ass ball. 1.00

00:16:07.000 I wish he took less time. 0.99

00:16:12.000 Alright.

00:16:13.000 Open up cases on all of you!

00:16:19.000 Dean Martin ain't got nothing on me! 0.95

00:16:23.000 She's a drunk. 1.00

00:16:25.000 She's a drunk. 1.00

00:16:26.000 It's fun.

00:16:26.000 It's fun to have a laugh.

00:16:27.000 We'll get to her economic policy, which is terrifying, and you know she didn't write it because it wasn't riddled with typos and every other paragraph saying that she really loves you.

00:16:38.000 Here's another fest! 0.89

00:16:39.000 We should hang out more, man.

00:16:40.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:16:41.000 That's what she says to everybody who never responds.

00:16:44.000 So, Wisconsin's Minoka Brewing Company, they also have a 9.7% ABV beer named La.

00:16:52.000 It's named after Harris.

00:16:53.000 Now, that's just kind of funny.

00:16:54.000 It doesn't mean she has anything to do with this brewery, but the brewery also has an Antifa Oktoberfest, the Labor Lager, and Maga Tears.

00:17:00.000 So, anyone out there, if you happen to be in that area of Wisconsin, Uh, don't go there.

00:17:05.000 Never drink that beer.

00:17:06.000 Ever.

00:17:07.000 Don't spend any money on it.

00:17:08.000 Also, she did, you know, Birds of a Feather?

00:17:10.000 You've heard that?

00:17:11.000 You know how it ends?

00:17:13.000 Birds of a Feather... Flocking.

00:17:16.000 Stick together.

00:17:16.000 When they get drunk.

00:17:17.000 So, yeah, because they eat the fermented berries.

00:17:19.000 She did pick a running mate who has a DUI on his record.

00:17:22.000 It's true.

00:17:23.000 And he does look like perpetually drunk Faces of Death Gerald Ford.

00:17:27.000 My point is... Looks pretty cool to me.

00:17:29.000 I just...

00:17:31.000 It's like a cool guy you go out with.

00:17:33.000 He's like, I'll take the hit, dude, don't worry about it.

00:17:35.000 She seems drunk, but the policies that she's proposed, even from pro-Barack Obama economists, their response has basically been, with the rollout of her economic policy or the proposals, their response has been like, yeah, she's drunk.

00:17:49.000 Yeah, so what, dude?

00:17:52.000 You're not drunk?

00:17:53.000 What do you mean, Josh?

00:17:55.000 You just go home and feel?

00:18:00.000 Let's go through some of the economic policies from Kamala Harris.

00:18:04.000 The worst one is it includes outright price controls.

00:18:09.000 Okay?

00:18:09.000 Yeah.

00:18:10.000 So, again, all the references are available at LatticeCredit.com.

00:18:12.000 This is according to the Washington Post, the first ever federal ban on price gouging on food and groceries, setting clear rules of the road to make clear that big corporations can't unfairly exploit consumers to run up excessive corporate profits on food and groceries.

00:18:25.000 So what that means is if goods or services or the raw materials or the energy costs go up, the government, run by drunk Kamala Harris, will come in and say, no, this is what you charge.

00:18:37.000 Yes.

00:18:38.000 That doesn't make any sense.

00:18:39.000 Well, it makes complete sense.

00:18:40.000 And this is just, it's all so tiresome.

00:18:43.000 This has happened before in many other countries.

00:18:45.000 They've even attempted it softly here in the United States.

00:18:48.000 It always leads to hyperinflation and it leads to shortages.

00:18:53.000 The idea that you can step in, let's just think about this for a second.

00:18:56.000 We talked about it last week where she said, the price fixing from corporations.

00:19:02.000 Corporations don't price fix. 0.97

00:19:04.000 It doesn't make sense.

00:19:07.000 They're competitive with each other.

00:19:10.000 All the corporations, and now maybe if you have just a duopoly or a tripopoly, and that's why we have antitrust laws, if they collude together, for example, like American auto manufacturers, especially when they receive never-ending bailout subsidies.

00:19:20.000 You see that, for example, with airlines.

00:19:23.000 There may be some of that because they effectively are.

00:19:26.000 wings of the government, but in individual grocers, different franchises, or individual

00:19:31.000 restaurants, guess what? They have to be competitive. They need to court your business. 0.97

00:19:35.000 And so, if a couple companies would price fix, another company would come in and say,

00:19:39.000 hey, we can clean up. Yeah, exactly. And at that point, wouldn't, you know, farmers and

00:19:44.000 ranchers, wouldn't they price fix together too for their prices to the stores? 0.99

00:19:48.000 Well, the price-fixing does happen with ranchers and farmers. 0.86

00:19:50.000 From the government, for example.

00:19:50.000 It would go all the way up.

00:19:52.000 This is a good example for the government in Michigan.

00:19:54.000 Cherries.

00:19:55.000 Do you know this?

00:19:56.000 This is what they do with cherries. 0.99

00:19:57.000 In order to keep the prices of cherries artificially high, if they have a year with record yield, they make them dump the cherries.

00:20:04.000 If they have a year where there aren't enough cherries, they subsidize them.

00:20:07.000 So the farmers get paid either way.

00:20:09.000 Because the government says we can't have a year where there are so many cherries that the price goes down, and the next year the prices go up.

00:20:14.000 So we're going to fix them.

00:20:15.000 They don't even let farmers keep them to make their own pies in Michigan.

00:20:18.000 No.

00:20:19.000 It's well known.

00:20:20.000 The government is the one in charge of price fixing.

00:20:22.000 So to solve the fake problem of corporations price fixing, which makes no sense, she says the government is going to step in and price fix.

00:20:30.000 I don't know if you know this, it's been tried.

00:20:31.000 Yes.

00:20:32.000 Tried it.

00:20:33.000 Of course Venezuela, any fascist communist dictatorship has tried it.

00:20:37.000 The results?

00:20:38.000 Food shortages.

00:20:39.000 Oh, I thought it was going to be good.

00:20:40.000 No consumer basic products like phones, cars, Lois jeans, not even Wranglers.

00:20:46.000 No central heating, cooling, sewage.

00:20:49.000 They end up with black markets.

00:20:50.000 Of course, they end up with hyperinflation.

00:20:52.000 And you know this, it's also the exact same policies that led to the infamous breadlines in Nicaragua.

00:20:58.000 But it shouldn't be surprising that the Democratic Party is still supporting those policies today.

00:21:04.000 It's funny, sometimes American journalists talk about how bad a country is because people are lining up for food.

00:21:09.000 That's a good thing.

00:21:11.000 Oh, OK.

00:21:12.000 Oh, that is, huh?

00:21:14.000 This is the one area.

00:21:15.000 So grocery stores, there is so much competition for food right now.

00:21:19.000 Their margins run at around 2%.

00:21:21.000 That is dramatically lower than even the second worst industry.

00:21:26.000 And it's because of competition.

00:21:27.000 And they're saying, oh, they're price gouging.

00:21:28.000 Are you serious?

00:21:29.000 This is the free market working wonderfully.

00:21:32.000 You have to have scale.

00:21:33.000 They're like, we need more mom and pop grocery.

00:21:35.000 You can't!

00:21:36.000 Because it's so little margin, because these big guys are competing like crazy with each other, it works really well, and people are going after them for milk?

00:21:44.000 Well, the price fixing will favor, again, the giant grocers, just like we saw during COVID.

00:21:48.000 Remember during COVID?

00:21:49.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:21:49.000 They could survive it!

00:21:50.000 During COVID, the franchises didn't all shut down.

00:21:52.000 Mom-and-pop businesses shut down.

00:21:54.000 If you were in Michigan, under, you know, wicked governor of the West, the Midwest, Gretchen Whitmer, you could go to Costco, you could go to Walmart, You couldn't go to a local grocer.

00:22:06.000 You couldn't go to a farmer's market.

00:22:07.000 You could go to the weed store, but you couldn't go to a nursery to get the plant seeds that you need.

00:22:12.000 And so what happened is you had an unbelievable number of local businesses that shut down.

00:22:16.000 You saw the same thing in Minnesota, by the way.

00:22:17.000 Yeah.

00:22:18.000 You saw, I believe it was 1,500, we cited this last week, 1,500 at least confirmed businesses that went under that will never come back as a result of the lockdown policies.

00:22:26.000 When you end up implementing regulations into an industry, That are in no way beholden to the free market.

00:22:34.000 Larger corporations can survive it.

00:22:37.000 They have more padding.

00:22:38.000 And even worse, larger corporations that are too big to fail don't care at all.

00:22:44.000 They don't have to provide you with anything of value because they'll end up with a never-ending supply of taxpayer dollars.

00:22:51.000 For proof, see how shitty American auto manufacturing has become outside of Tesla.

00:22:58.000 Let's think of the most heavily subsidized and regulated markets. 0.51

00:23:02.000 You guys thrilled with airlines?

00:23:05.000 You guys thrilled with dealing with auto manufacturers or car dealerships?

00:23:09.000 What about health insurance?

00:23:12.000 Are these the industries that you say customer service is performed with a plum?

00:23:17.000 Or you go, oh man, these are the worst phone calls you have to make.

00:23:21.000 If you have to call someone on customer service.

00:23:22.000 Well, they don't care.

00:23:23.000 These are people who are subsidized by the government.

00:23:25.000 It's very different from a local business.

00:23:27.000 Here's another part of her.

00:23:28.000 Really quickly, I think I have to fact check you.

00:23:30.000 Research, let me know.

00:23:31.000 You said 1,500 businesses.

00:23:32.000 I think that was the Summer of Love in Minnesota.

00:23:34.000 Just the Summer of Love, sorry, in Minnesota.

00:23:35.000 Over 10,000 businesses because of the COVID lockdowns closed down in Minnesota.

00:23:40.000 Okay.

00:23:40.000 Admonish me.

00:23:41.000 It's way worse.

00:23:41.000 Admonish me.

00:23:43.000 I apologize.

00:23:44.000 I was going by road and I was playing it conservatively.

00:23:47.000 It's 10 times worse than I told you.

00:23:50.000 And it still sounded bad!

00:23:56.000 So here's another policy here that she is proposing, but the left is saying, oh, this is the same thing as people on the right.

00:24:02.000 It's not.

00:24:02.000 And I'll explain to you the difference, comparing Kamala Harris versus JD Vance.

00:24:06.000 She wants to provide this $6,000 tax credit to families for each newborn baby.

00:24:12.000 It's, I get it, the one, hey, baby steps, it's the one instance where the Democrat Party He actually sees a newborn baby and thinks anything other than how to kill it.

00:24:19.000 Well, that's fair, but it has to be born to get to 6K.

00:24:23.000 You can't just get close.

00:24:24.000 Yes, exactly.

00:24:25.000 That sounds terrible.

00:24:26.000 Yeah.

00:24:27.000 So they're trying to compare this to JD Vance.

00:24:30.000 Some people are even saying it's a ripoff, but it's not even close.

00:24:33.000 So JD Vance has proposed a $5,000 child tax credit.

00:24:36.000 All right.

00:24:37.000 There's a big difference between the two.

00:24:39.000 Here are two CNBC headlines discussing Kamala versus Vance's policies.

00:24:44.000 Okay, August 12th.

00:24:45.000 Vance wants to raise the child tax credit to $5,000.

00:24:48.000 Here's why that could be difficult.

00:24:50.000 August 16th.

00:24:51.000 Harris calls for the expanded child tax credit of up to $6,000 for families with newborns.

00:24:57.000 Four days apart!

00:24:59.000 Four days apart.

00:25:00.000 This is going to be difficult.

00:25:01.000 That's a criticism, obviously.

00:25:03.000 They'll try and say that they're objective.

00:25:04.000 And the other one is just, hey, we're just giving you the facts.

00:25:07.000 By the way, I don't know if you remember this.

00:25:09.000 She also proposed no taxes on tips.

00:25:12.000 Which was kind of a landmark policy from Donald Trump, and she was a tiebreaker on the bill that of course increased IRS surveillance and taxations on tips. 0.51

00:25:23.000 So she is stealing from their playbook, but then she gets it wrong.

00:25:28.000 And the way she gets it wrong is there are none of the income, or effectively the productivity requirements for child tax credits.

00:25:36.000 So I don't know if you know this, Um, but this is how you end up creating the kind of problem that you've seen, uh, with black American families.

00:25:45.000 After we saw this with Lyndon Johnson, and we saw this with Model Cities, and we saw this, you know, with the Great Societies program, where you have women—you've heard the term baby mamas, and people will say it's racist, but it's a term that's used because you have women who, if they are not married, they don't have the father in the household.

00:26:01.000 They get more credits, more income.

00:26:03.000 You have some people who effectively end up having more children because it allows them to not work.

00:26:07.000 So now if you add on top of that just a child tax credit, which we're not talking about EBT or actual welfare benefits, but a child tax credit with no income, no work requirements, you are now encouraging effectively On productivity.

00:26:23.000 And you're going to compound the problem of fatherless households.

00:26:27.000 It needs to come with some prerequisites.

00:26:28.000 I don't know if you know this, but I don't necessarily believe that if you subsidize something, you get more of it.

00:26:35.000 Because we don't really see that with solar.

00:26:36.000 We don't really see that with wind or renewable resources.

00:26:39.000 But we certainly do see taxation and relief from taxation as a behavioral modification.

00:26:46.000 And in this instance, why would you want to reward people not working?

00:26:51.000 It'd be like rewarding people for smoking and drinking, which Kamala Harris likely does as well. 1.00

00:26:56.000 It doesn't make sense to give a tax credit for someone who doesn't pay taxes.

00:26:59.000 Right.

00:27:00.000 I mean, it's just in the name, you know.

00:27:01.000 Right.

00:27:02.000 This also brings us, so we see, okay, price fixing.

00:27:05.000 Let's go through all this.

00:27:05.000 Price fixing.

00:27:06.000 Hey, companies, this is what you're going to charge.

00:27:08.000 What do we think happens there?

00:27:08.000 All right?

00:27:09.000 Hyperinflation, shortage of goods and services.

00:27:11.000 Okay?

00:27:12.000 Just a tax credit.

00:27:13.000 Who's going to pay for it?

00:27:14.000 Take a guess.

00:27:15.000 Me.

00:27:15.000 You, of course.

00:27:16.000 Then we have the housing assistance.

00:27:19.000 One of the worst.

00:27:21.000 And we've been here before.

00:27:22.000 I don't know if you guys know this.

00:27:23.000 I know a lot of you who watch, our median viewer here is 30 or under in many instances.

00:27:29.000 So if you're watching right now, are you aware of what happened with the housing crisis in 2008?

00:27:33.000 And are you aware what led to it?

00:27:37.000 So she wants to provide $25,000.

00:27:41.000 As basically down payment assistance for first-time homebuyers.

00:27:46.000 So where will she get the money? 0.79

00:27:49.000 Already first-time homebuyers!

00:27:51.000 You! 0.99

00:27:52.000 You! 0.99

00:27:53.000 You saved, scraped, and paid for a house, and now through your tax dollars you get to pay for someone else to get a $25,000 down payment from Uncle Sam.

00:28:03.000 I don't know if you know this, there's already a shortage of 4.5 million homes in this country.

00:28:07.000 She wants to increase, effectively, demand at a time where there is arguably record low supply or certainly historically low supply.

00:28:16.000 This would mean what?

00:28:17.000 What?

00:28:18.000 Again, more inflation.

00:28:20.000 If you were to design a policy just to create more inflation, which we've done for the last three years, we've seen similar policies, this would be a brilliant way to go about it.

00:28:29.000 Yeah it would actually drive like we said we will drive the prices up now whether it drives it up you know by $25,000 as some people have said per house no that's probably not going to happen but it will drive the prices up it's not addressing the thing that is keeping people from buying homes right now which is mortgage interest rates it's massive we did a segment on this and how much you would have to pay every single month yeah Huge amounts of money going out because the interest rate went from around 3 or 4 percent to 7 percent.

00:28:55.000 I don't know what it is today.

00:28:56.000 Even worse than that is Blackrock, Vanguard, State Street, buying up single family homes.

00:29:00.000 To rent them out.

00:29:01.000 Yes, exactly.

00:29:02.000 They want to create a class of renters.

00:29:03.000 I don't know if you know this, but Elizabeth Warren has said they are too big to fail.

00:29:06.000 So there's a reason that home prices have gone up, and then you have the exacerbation by the interest rates going up.

00:29:11.000 Yeah, and she's not doing anything to take that challenge on.

00:29:15.000 Just give people more money.

00:29:16.000 Yeah, that worked great with college tuition.

00:29:17.000 Just give people free money to go to college, because now universities are charging $300,000, $400,000 a year.

00:29:22.000 And I'm not talking like Harvard.

00:29:24.000 Right.

00:29:24.000 I'm talking other universities.

00:29:25.000 That's in, sorry, for a four year, not one year.

00:29:27.000 Well, the good news is... University of Phoenix, even.

00:29:29.000 Yes.

00:29:30.000 Hey.

00:29:31.000 I'm a phoenix.

00:29:31.000 You gotta pay for that online.

00:29:32.000 Nothing wrong with that.

00:29:33.000 And she was asked, I rise from the digital ashes. 1.00

00:29:36.000 Hey, burn you flaming man. 1.00

00:29:37.000 Yes. 1.00

00:29:38.000 What?

00:29:38.000 It's a phoenix, it's a burning animal.

00:29:40.000 Oh, shut up. 0.99

00:29:40.000 It's a mythical creature. 0.99

00:29:41.000 They're a mascot of the Disco Inferno guy.

00:29:43.000 Alright.

00:29:44.000 I've seen Harry Potter, I know.

00:29:45.000 She was asked, though, about how she would pay for all of these things.

00:29:49.000 Okay, we're talking about child tax credit without the same requirements.

00:29:51.000 We're talking about housing assistance.

00:29:52.000 Okay, we're talking about just basically fixing prices, which means eventually you have to subsidize them.

00:29:56.000 Hey, Kamala, how are you going to pay for all this?

00:29:59.000 Well, I don't know if you are aware, the answer went poorly.

00:30:02.000 economic policies, plus greed.

00:30:04.000 Can you explain how you're going to pay for those, and can you give us a sense of what other policies

00:30:08.000 you want to unveil going forward?

00:30:10.000 Sure, well, I mean, you just look at it in terms of what we are talking about, for example, around children,

00:30:15.000 and the child tax credit, and extending the EITC.

00:30:19.000 That is at $6,000 for the first year of a child's life.

00:30:24.000 The return on that investment, in terms of what that will do and what it will pay for, will be tremendous.

00:30:29.000 We've seen it when we did it, the first year of our administration, we reduced child poverty by over 50%.

00:30:35.000 So that's a lot of the work.

00:30:36.000 And then what we're doing in terms of the tax credits, we know that there's a great return on that investment.

00:30:41.000 And when we increase homeownership in America, So, okay, she just keeps saying, return on investment, return on investment.

00:30:47.000 We get it.

00:30:47.000 We've watched Shark Tank 2.

00:30:48.000 It's like she's trying to prove she knows what it means.

00:30:52.000 I know what ROI is.

00:30:54.000 I read E-Trade paragraph once.

00:30:55.000 to not critically evaluate how you measure the return on investment.

00:31:00.000 So, okay, she just keeps saying return on investment, return on investment. We get it.

00:31:03.000 We've watched Shark Tank 2.

00:31:04.000 It's like she's trying to prove she knows what it means.

00:31:06.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:31:07.000 I know what ROI is.

00:31:08.000 ROI.

00:31:08.000 It's a red E-Trade paragraph once.

00:31:11.000 Hey, it's an acronym. Like, like YOLO.

00:31:16.000 So, that's it.

00:31:18.000 That's not like that at all.

00:31:19.000 I think it is.

00:31:22.000 This is all predicated, and this is the mistake that has constantly been made.

00:31:26.000 It's predicated on the idea of, you're going to increase the tax base, property taxes, that people will make those payments, that people will be able to afford it.

00:31:37.000 If you are giving someone $25,000 as a down payment on a house, What are the prerequisites there that prove this person guaranteed will be able to make those payments?

00:31:49.000 We know historically, they don't.

00:31:49.000 Here's the thing.

00:31:54.000 The 2008 financial crisis.

00:31:55.000 I don't know if you remember this.

00:31:56.000 People were subsidized to buy homes they couldn't afford.

00:31:58.000 Under the names of effectively what is originally kind of DEI, right?

00:32:02.000 It was, hey, we need to make sure that people, people who can't afford homes, people who haven't saved for a down payment, banks, you can't discriminate.

00:32:02.000 ESG.

00:32:09.000 You have to lend out to these people.

00:32:10.000 And then they blame the banks when they insured this, right?

00:32:13.000 The government said, and by the way, if these people default, we are the ones who will deem you too big to fail and we'll foot the bill.

00:32:18.000 None of this happens if the government doesn't step in and say, we will foot the bill through the taxpayer dime.

00:32:22.000 Banks wouldn't take that risk.

00:32:25.000 Yeah.

00:32:25.000 Everyone defaulted.

00:32:26.000 It created a term that then the left again corrects.

00:32:30.000 It's the exact same thing that you see with the price fixing.

00:32:33.000 So, let me just simplify this for you.

00:32:35.000 You'll say this is reductive, but it's by design, okay?

00:32:38.000 Because I don't have enough time to get into all of it.

00:32:39.000 But you have Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, right?

00:32:43.000 Yes, Dodd-Frank.

00:32:44.000 Okay, Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac.

00:32:45.000 You have these bills, effectively, that are designed to re-engineer society and to tell financial institutions, hey, a certain portion of the population are not getting homes.

00:32:54.000 And the banks say, well, yeah, because they can't afford them and we wouldn't lend these people money because they won't pay them back.

00:32:58.000 The government says, you have to give those people homes.

00:33:02.000 You have to lend them out.

00:33:03.000 And the bank said, well, how are we going to do that?

00:33:04.000 And the government basically said, you're going to do it effectively with no money down

00:33:07.000 and like 2%. 0.96

00:33:08.000 And the bank said, you're bullshitting. 0.97

00:33:10.000 They said, if you don't do it, it's racist and or whatever else is today and that will punish you. 0.95

00:33:17.000 But if you do it, don't worry, we'll foot the bill if they should happen to default.

00:33:21.000 That's exactly what happened.

00:33:22.000 And people ended up defaulting.

00:33:26.000 Like crazy.

00:33:26.000 And then they invented the term to deal with it, to blame the banks, predatory lending.

00:33:31.000 As though banks were going around, lenders were going, today I hope I find a sucker who I can give free money to who can't pay it back! 0.96

00:33:42.000 Nope. 0.71

00:33:42.000 It fails to operate without the guarantee of the government, without prerequisites. 0.71

00:33:48.000 This is what we've done, and you've seen it in the past.

00:33:50.000 You want to talk about the swamp?

00:33:52.000 Bill Clinton and George W. Bush said pretty much the exact same thing, which led to the 2008 crisis.

00:33:58.000 We're attracting more capital into affordable housing and community development by strengthening the Community Reinvestment Act, expanding the network of community development financial institutions, making permanent mortgage revenue bonds and the low-income housing tax credit, and gaining greater commitments from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

00:34:19.000 Less than half of all African Americans and Hispanic Americans are homeowners.

00:34:23.000 When a low-income family is qualified to buy a home, but comes up short on the down payment, the American Dream Down Payment Fund will help provide the needed funds.

00:34:33.000 It's a bad idea no matter who says it, and here's a little bit of cold water for you.

00:34:36.000 Down payments are kind of a barrier to entry for a reason.

00:34:39.000 When you go to apply for a loan, you have to show that that money has been in your account.

00:34:43.000 You can't have somebody give you money for a down payment and it just magically show up in the bank and go, that sounds good enough for me.

00:34:49.000 They want to see a pattern of behavior that indicates that you will pay back the loan, that you understand that this is going to cost you to do.

00:34:58.000 And giving people money To go into a house doesn't do that.

00:35:02.000 It's a barrier to entry for a reason.

00:35:04.000 I want everybody to have a home.

00:35:06.000 I would love that.

00:35:07.000 But it's just not possible for so many people.

00:35:09.000 We saw it in 2008.

00:35:10.000 And what is worse?

00:35:11.000 To put all of your life savings into it, to get a loan, to go into a home, and then to lose it two, three years later when you can't make the payments.

00:35:18.000 That's worse than saying, hey, I got to rent for a little while longer and tighten the belt a little bit.

00:35:22.000 But I wanted to sum all of this up with one of your favorite songs.

00:35:25.000 This is Kamala Harris's kind of thing.

00:35:30.000 What?

00:35:31.000 Kamala Claus.

00:35:32.000 Oh, God.

00:35:32.000 Stop it.

00:35:33.000 It's your favorite Christmas song.

00:35:35.000 Stop it.

00:35:35.000 Oh, wow.

00:35:36.000 Yeah, please do.

00:35:38.000 He knows that I hate Bruce Springsteen.

00:35:38.000 I would like that.

00:35:40.000 I do.

00:35:41.000 But he didn't realize that I would also hate him.

00:35:43.000 Well, good for you.

00:35:44.000 You interrupted him.

00:35:45.000 But he's still doing it.

00:35:46.000 He's still doing it.

00:35:46.000 We're trying to talk over him.

00:35:52.000 Bruce Springsteen is a mumbling bag of talentless shit. 1.00

00:35:55.000 Everyone knows that. 1.00

00:35:56.000 I don't like him.

00:35:57.000 My very first time doing this show on radio was a three-hour show Friday mornings syndicated 6 to 9 a.m.

00:36:05.000 I did an entire segment on why Bruce Springsteen was the worst person on earth and they wiped the internet of those old clips where you can find him when he was young talking like this, he was talking like this, and then he's talking like he's the boss.

00:36:18.000 Really?

00:36:19.000 You're 5'6", you've never done anything tough in your life, and I could hurt you.

00:36:23.000 It's gonna be stuck in your head, you know.

00:36:27.000 No, it's not.

00:36:27.000 It will.

00:36:28.000 It's absolutely not going to be stuck in my head.

00:36:31.000 Cut his mic, Billy.

00:36:32.000 Also, the other thing... Play that ROI clip again.

00:36:36.000 There's one thing there that I also want to point out.

00:36:39.000 You just look at it in terms of what we are talking about, for example, around children

00:36:46.000 and the child tax credit and extending the EITC.

00:36:55.000 That is at $6,000.

00:36:58.000 Let me ask you this.

00:37:16.000 Do any of you believe that?

00:37:18.000 Yeah, the claim.

00:37:20.000 Do you think that anyone believes that?

00:37:23.000 That Joe Biden reduced child poverty by 50%?

00:37:28.000 Think of these claims that they make.

00:37:29.000 So, she wants you to believe that in the United States, Child poverty was 50% higher under the Trump administration than Joe Biden.

00:37:38.000 That's an insane number.

00:37:40.000 They said it in first year, over 50% reduction, when they did what?

00:37:43.000 She's talking about the tax credit, the earned income tax credit for the child, right?

00:37:49.000 You didn't change it much.

00:37:50.000 If you reduce child poverty by changing things by $1,000, we've been doing this wrong for a long time.

00:37:55.000 Also, Trump had doubled that child tax credit.

00:37:57.000 Yes.

00:37:57.000 It was like $1,200, I think he made it $2,400.

00:37:59.000 They make these claims out there where they go, crime is lower than ever.

00:38:04.000 I understand that there's politics at play and you have to sort of package yourself.

00:38:04.000 Is anyone buying that?

00:38:08.000 Anyone buy that child poverty was cut in half?

00:38:13.000 Because if that was true, I don't know, there would be papers all over the world.

00:38:17.000 Economists saying, hey, child poverty is a thing of the past.

00:38:20.000 It no longer exists, effectively.

00:38:22.000 We've done away with it.

00:38:23.000 You know, I have noticed a lot less kids selling chiclets on my street.

00:38:26.000 Yes.

00:38:27.000 That's Addy.

00:38:28.000 They're selling there.

00:38:29.000 Oh, I see.

00:38:30.000 I've been buying it.

00:38:31.000 What is it with chiclets?

00:38:32.000 Hey, can you guys, what is it with chiclets?

00:38:32.000 What is it?

00:38:34.000 If you're in, you know, South America or Cuba, whenever I go there, they would always ask for chiclets.

00:38:39.000 I gave them chiclets.

00:38:40.000 I mean, but I wanted to tell him, like, we have a lot better candy in America than Chiclets.

00:38:44.000 Like, I don't know if you know this, but when tourists come to your land, you guys can, you mustn't be afraid to dream a little bit bigger, love.

00:38:50.000 Like, Chiclets, we can bring cool stuff, and you're still fixated on the Chiclets?

00:38:54.000 Well, I don't set their expectations too high.

00:38:56.000 You don't want to tell these kids all about Sour Patch Kids and all that.

00:38:59.000 Could you imagine a bunch of kids living under Communist Cuba with a few sour straws? 0.64

00:38:59.000 I guess, yeah. 0.64

00:39:05.000 For crying out loud, the cash straws wouldn't stand a chance!

00:39:07.000 A couple of airheads are done.

00:39:11.000 Were they warheads?

00:39:12.000 Warheads and airheads.

00:39:13.000 Speaking of foreign lands, we are going to have Mr. Figueredo here on the show, which I guess, well, you know, if you're watching, you won't be able to see this on Rumble in Brazil, so that's the value, I guess, of still having YouTube, because some of YouTube is available in Brazil, I think.

00:39:26.000 It is, surprisingly.

00:39:28.000 This is something that's pretty scary.

00:39:29.000 And this is why we talk about big tech, where it's not just about the United States, because other governments apply pressure to these companies.

00:39:36.000 And then they implement foreign government policies here in the United States.

00:39:41.000 It's kind of a way of importing socialism digitally.

00:39:44.000 So I'm glad to see Elon Musk take a stand here.

00:39:47.000 Rumble has already done this.

00:39:49.000 Back in November, I think?

00:39:50.000 Yeah, supportive of them.

00:39:52.000 Elon Musk announced that X is going to be closing its office in Brazil.

00:39:57.000 He wrote this, he said, the decision to close the X office in Brazil was difficult, but if we had agreed to Alexandria's This is Morais, his illegal secret censorship and private information handover demands.

00:40:10.000 There was no way we could explain our actions without being ashamed.

00:40:13.000 It's kind of a funny way of describing it.

00:40:15.000 Yes.

00:40:16.000 I'd be very ashamed.

00:40:17.000 And this is a Supreme Court justice.

00:40:19.000 We've been covering this for a long time here on the show.

00:40:21.000 Alexander Morais said that X's legal representative would be arrested If the site did not remove accounts of specifically 19 influencers and one politician.

00:40:32.000 Think about that.

00:40:33.000 A Supreme Court justice.

00:40:35.000 One politician, I can guess.

00:40:37.000 One person threatening X. Threatening people with arrest if they don't remove opinions that they don't like.

00:40:46.000 The entire accounts of opinions they don't like.

00:40:48.000 Some people have fled the country over this.

00:40:48.000 You may not know this.

00:40:51.000 People have been jailed over this.

00:40:54.000 So when people talk about freedom of speech existing elsewhere in the world, it's not a thing.

00:40:58.000 And it's certainly not a thing in Brazil.

00:41:00.000 Remember, Marias, he's the person, he campaigned against the Brazilian right-wingers under the guise of combating digital militias, that's what he said, digital militias, we have to get rid of these digital militias. 0.74

00:41:10.000 So soft.

00:41:11.000 And he also temporarily banned Telegram.

00:41:15.000 in I believe 2022 over a pro-Bolsonaro account. Think about this. A politician, a Supreme Court

00:41:20.000 judge had a private application banned because someone was pro-one candidate. And people think

00:41:29.000 the only way that they steal elections is by ballot harvesting or by rigging a machine. Do

00:41:34.000 you see how it happens? It happens across the world all the time. Well, these guys also shut

00:41:38.000 down an entire news organization because of its kind of truth telling to power that they didn't

00:41:44.000 And look, here in the United States, we get it.

00:41:46.000 There's a lot of people who say stuff that we disagree with, that gets us off message, that moves us in places, that we're like, ah, that's fake, okay, fine, we have to deal with that.

00:41:53.000 But you've got one guy just basically saying, no, this one goes, this one goes, this one goes.

00:41:57.000 So this is the same kind of thing when you talk about define hate speech, right?

00:42:01.000 When you put the power in one person's hand.

00:42:02.000 Let me go back to Kamala real quick.

00:42:04.000 Define price gouging.

00:42:05.000 Right.

00:42:06.000 No, but there is no definition for it.

00:42:07.000 Just like there's no definition for hate speech or whatever the heck they want to call it here in Brazil.

00:42:11.000 It's just one person going, I don't like you.

00:42:12.000 You're gone.

00:42:13.000 Yep.

00:42:15.000 It's more of, it's less, I don't like you.

00:42:17.000 It's more of you're threatening my power.

00:42:19.000 Yeah.

00:42:20.000 Oh, I forgot to tell you guys, uh, Tuesday, sorry.

00:42:20.000 By the way.

00:42:22.000 We're Monday.

00:42:23.000 Yes, it is Monday.

00:42:24.000 I know we've been spending so many, so many, uh, minutes on here talking about drunk and Kamala's life.

00:42:28.000 I feel drunk.

00:42:30.000 Oh, Wednesday and Thursday.

00:42:32.000 Wednesday and Thursday we are not streaming in the morning because we are live streaming the DNC.

00:42:35.000 Live fact-checking the DNC.

00:42:38.000 Both Tim Walz and Kamala Harris.

00:42:40.000 And we're gonna have special guests.

00:42:42.000 All of that.

00:42:43.000 So live drinking game rules to follow and I am going to be very careful with this because we've been too good with our drinking game rules.

00:42:49.000 We have.

00:42:49.000 Did we confirm if Adam Kinzinger is speaking still on Thursday night?

00:42:52.000 I don't know if he is.

00:42:53.000 It was up there originally.

00:42:55.000 I don't know if it's controlling.

00:42:56.000 They seem pretty disorganized, but I'm telling you this, the DNC is going to be lit! 0.94

00:43:00.000 There are already so many protesters who've shown up because they hate Jews.

00:43:03.000 Oh man, they took over their opening party. 0.56

00:43:06.000 Did you see that? 0.99

00:43:06.000 Yeah, because they hate Jews! 0.99

00:43:09.000 It's just so funny, because Donald Trump, he says things that sometimes are silly, but it's accurate. 0.99

00:43:14.000 Like, he could just go, look at the DNC! 1.00

00:43:17.000 Hates Jews! 1.00

00:43:18.000 And you'd be like, yeah, that's right! 0.99

00:43:20.000 Look at all those people! 0.99

00:43:21.000 They hate the Jews! 1.00

00:43:22.000 Is this for, oh, the protesters. 0.98

00:43:24.000 We have video, obviously, of the protesters storming the stage.

00:43:26.000 We can come back to that if you want to.

00:43:27.000 No, let's go to it right now.

00:43:28.000 Yeah, that's fine.

00:43:31.000 Oh, y'all can do better than that.

00:43:34.000 Mike DeMondi! 0.71

00:43:40.000 Wait, what?

00:43:41.000 I thought it was 40.

00:43:51.000 Okay, I'm going to tell you, I don't like that.

00:43:54.000 I don't like that clip.

00:43:55.000 Why?

00:43:55.000 I don't like that clip.

00:43:56.000 Because there was no body slam.

00:43:57.000 I'm sorry.

00:43:58.000 There were not enough consequences.

00:43:59.000 That's a huge stage!

00:44:00.000 You gotta take advantage of that!

00:44:01.000 Do not get in a stormy stage like that, especially after we had an attempted assassination.

00:44:05.000 That woman deserves to know what it feels like to be suplexed by an all-American D1 wrestler. 1.00

00:44:12.000 It will be a lesson that she'll keep with her for the rest of her days, and she will thank you for it.

00:44:16.000 And if it's a man, I'm sorry, but that's your fault. 1.00

00:44:20.000 You know what I think is hilarious, though, about those protesters and the ones that I've seen outside?

00:44:23.000 They're wearing masks.

00:44:25.000 You're doing the one thing to muffle your...

00:44:27.000 You're doing the one thing to muffle your...

00:44:32.000 Yes. They have a butt mask? 1.00

00:44:32.000 Fun. 1.00

00:44:52.000 I don't understand.

00:44:54.000 It's like a dental dam for the... They make those for the other one. 0.72

00:45:01.000 This whole world is so perverse.

00:45:03.000 I'm just waiting for the flood.

00:45:06.000 It's not gonna happen by flood.

00:45:07.000 He said he wouldn't do that again.

00:45:08.000 Do you have any idea, like, sometimes you ever just think about God, and he's like, ah, if there are only ten decent, if there are ten good men left, like, what does it take for a portion of this globe just to be turned into pillars of salt?

00:45:18.000 Like, he's looking down, he's like, wait a second, what?

00:45:20.000 You got these people protesting because they want to wipe Israel off the face of the map, and what, half of these people have monkey pox?

00:45:27.000 How do they get monkey pox? 0.90

00:45:29.000 Wait, they're doing things with the monkeys again?

00:45:31.000 Guys, guys, did we unleash monkey pox yet?

00:45:34.000 What is this?

00:45:35.000 You know, Michael, I knew the monkeys were a problem.

00:45:39.000 You were right the whole time.

00:45:42.000 It's just so tiresome.

00:45:45.000 So back to Brazil.

00:45:48.000 In December of 2023, Rumble left Brazil, right over the censorship threats from this Mariah's Supreme Court Justice.

00:45:54.000 And then in April, the same man ordered Elon Musk to block accounts on X kind of had to pretend that the ban was for terms of service violations, not by the judge's order.

00:46:04.000 That's what was happening back then.

00:46:06.000 And it was pretty scary.

00:46:08.000 We had a couple of notable Brazilian journalists on this show quite a few times here, and that's because we understand that there are parallels here with Brazil, if you're in the United States, that you need to be following.

00:46:22.000 It's kind of the playbook.

00:46:25.000 It's playing out in real time over there.

00:46:27.000 And of course, if you look at the people who are allies with, I don't even want to say liberal, the socialist factions in Brazil, of course, they're the same socialist factions here in the United States.

00:46:37.000 And these, I believe we have a montage for those who haven't been caught up on these people from Brazil who were very grateful to have given a platform and a voice because they couldn't speak on Rumble and they couldn't speak on Axe in Brazil for a long time as per orders from their government.

00:46:56.000 I used to have sometimes more viewers than Fox News on primetime in the U.S.

00:47:00.000 The U.S.

00:47:01.000 has been, so far in the past few years, a force for evil and censorship in Brazil.

00:47:06.000 And I think the U.S.

00:47:07.000 needs to become, again, a force for freedom and democracy.

00:47:11.000 And one day, I woke with everything blocked, and plus, all my assets in Brazil, all my assets and bank accounts were frozen.

00:47:18.000 We have been learning that the whole theoretical framework So here to discuss this and more in the recent developments is a noted journalist and I guess you could say outlaw, yeah, and adorable Brazilian Paulo Figueiredo.

00:47:46.000 Mr. Figueiredo, can you see me, hear me, sir?

00:47:50.000 Very well, Stephen, how are you?

00:47:51.000 I am doing okay.

00:47:53.000 I don't know what to... Where's the best place for people to go before we start talking to support you?

00:47:57.000 I know you're stateside, but obviously, where should people of Brazil go?

00:48:03.000 Well, they can go to locals.

00:48:04.000 I have my own website.

00:48:06.000 It's my name, which is very hard to type in English, but it's paulofigueridoshow.com, and I'm also on X, and so people can support me several ways.

00:48:18.000 So, let me ask you this.

00:48:19.000 Speaking of X, right?

00:48:20.000 This is kind of a development.

00:48:22.000 Elon is now shutting down the X office in Brazil.

00:48:28.000 What has changed, because I know before he was maybe kind of kowtowing a little bit, or was it under the guise of terms of service violations?

00:48:34.000 Can you let people know what the change is right now as far as Elon Musk and the status of, you know, voices of opposition in Brazil and X?

00:48:44.000 Well, first of all, I hope you like my mug.

00:48:46.000 Oh, I do!

00:48:48.000 Yeah, I hope you do.

00:48:53.000 Well, things in Brazil are always kind of crazy.

00:48:57.000 We're a crazy bunch, as you know, first-hand.

00:48:59.000 But these last two weeks have been totally insane, okay?

00:49:03.000 I haven't been able to hit the mats, no jiu-jitsu for me.

00:49:08.000 And I think you guys did a solid summarizing of what went down in Brazil.

00:49:12.000 But there's a little bit of context.

00:49:15.000 Because last Tuesday, Glenn Greenwald, yeah, that Glenn Greenwald, the American journalist who blew the lid off the U.S.

00:49:23.000 deep state and the NSA with the Snowden files, the Pulitzer winner and all, very leftist, he dropped a bombshell in Brazil.

00:49:32.000 So for those who are out of the loop, Glenn lives in Brazil.

00:49:38.000 He was married to a Brazilian socialist congressman who recently passed, and he got his hands on six gigabytes of cell phone chats, conversations, from the staff of Moraes, Brazil's dictator, Moraes.

00:49:55.000 And man, those conversations were damning as hell, for sure. 0.97

00:50:00.000 I would also imagine very gay, but yes, go on. 0.99

00:50:06.000 Well, you'll be the judge of that, okay? 0.70

00:50:09.000 For starters, the first report showed that on December 30th, and we're talking about Folha de São Paulo is a leftist mainstream newspaper in Brazil.

00:50:20.000 They're often compared to the New York Times, okay?

00:50:22.000 They're the largest, most known newspaper in the country.

00:50:26.000 So Glenn Greenwald, on this newspaper, He showed on his report that on December 30th, while everyone was partying and getting drunk, Morais, a justice from the Supreme Court, was putting together a dossier against, on me, and me, and another journalist, Rodrigo Constantino, who is also based here in the US.

00:50:50.000 So, I think that's very hard to wrap your head around, because finding out that a Supreme Court Justice is building a dossier against you, it's mind-blowing.

00:51:01.000 I mean, the fact that a judge is complying evidence for accusation, it's definitely a violation, a crazy violation of due process.

00:51:11.000 So when he was not happy with the dossier, his lackeys asked for more of my tweets to be added saying, well, oh, he's got a bee on his bonnet.

00:51:22.000 So and and when that happens, it's a nightmare.

00:51:26.000 So he's at staff talking about him putting up a dossier against journalists.

00:51:32.000 So in another chat, he's asking to censor Brazil's highest right-wing magazine.

00:51:38.000 And when the people say they only found journalist content on the side, they can't censor that.

00:51:42.000 Marais, right-hand man orders, get creative.

00:51:46.000 Right.

00:51:46.000 But there's way more.

00:51:48.000 I don't want to get into all the details.

00:51:50.000 But it is, I mean, this is something people need to know.

00:51:52.000 Of course, you had an election that many people in Brazil and the United States Questioned and again like I said there are many ways to tilt an election or outright steal an election in silencing voices of opposition silencing stories and removing content that could inform the public and certainly would inform their vote is one of those ways what's odd to me I shouldn't say odd is that even after

00:52:15.000 You know, the election that they won in Brazil, they're still pushing for it, which means they want to stranglehold forevermore, right?

00:52:21.000 They want to maintain that grip on power.

00:52:24.000 Let me ask you this, since ex-employees may not, I guess they may not be like in danger in Brazil anymore, do you think that Elon's going to be reinstating all of these accounts that the Brazilian Supreme Court forced him to ban?

00:52:37.000 I don't know.

00:52:38.000 I left out the worst part of the dialogues of Morais because there's one point where his Chief of Staff talks about Alan, Alan DeSantis, who you met.

00:52:46.000 Yeah, great guy.

00:52:46.000 You know very well.

00:52:48.000 Great guy.

00:52:49.000 Also a journalist, also under asylum here in the U.S.

00:52:53.000 There's a moment on these conversations that Morais' Chief of Staff literally says, Well, it makes me want to send some thugs to grab this guy by force and shove him on a Brazilian plane.

00:53:08.000 He's talking about kidnapping.

00:53:10.000 The Marais Chief of Staff is talking about kidnapping a journalist on U.S.

00:53:14.000 soil.

00:53:15.000 Yeah.

00:53:17.000 And that's on the dialogue.

00:53:19.000 And DeSantos has, by the way, spent time in prison.

00:53:22.000 A lot of people don't realize that, too.

00:53:24.000 Like, this is not just one new example.

00:53:27.000 So the fact that they're still trying to persecute is... it's got to be terrifying.

00:53:34.000 Well, I was the one that spent time on prison.

00:53:37.000 Alan didn't yet, so we hope he doesn't.

00:53:40.000 Oh, I guess he spent time in exile.

00:53:42.000 No, he's been here under exile since 2021.

00:53:46.000 So, here's the kicker.

00:53:50.000 So, we started to have the mainstream media criticizing Moraes.

00:53:54.000 Senators of Brazil huddled up and said they were going to push for Moraes' impeachment.

00:53:58.000 An online petition for his impeachment kicked off on Friday, had already reached As we talked, 800,000 signatures.

00:54:07.000 There's a protest.

00:54:09.000 Elon Musk was invited for this protest, this demonstration, on September 7th, which is our Independence Day in Brazil.

00:54:15.000 Musk was invited by a Brazilian congressman, and the word on the street says it's going to be the biggest in Brazilian history.

00:54:22.000 We're talking about millions of people.

00:54:24.000 Okay, this is the context.

00:54:26.000 And then, That's what happened.

00:54:28.000 Now, let's talk back, let's talk Axe, as you asked.

00:54:33.000 Morais hit back, ordering Axe to block new profiles, including my fifth profile, opened last month.

00:54:40.000 Right.

00:54:40.000 Yes, fifth profile.

00:54:43.000 I kept opening new accounts, he kept closing them out.

00:54:47.000 And he already blocked four of them, and this one had 150,000 followers.

00:54:52.000 So he went out, like, asking for more profiles to be censored.

00:54:58.000 Apparently there was a mix-up notifying, serving Axe legal reps in Brazil who had changed recently.

00:55:07.000 And if you ask me, I think Elon Musk was already phasing out Axe out of Brazil following his promise early this year.

00:55:15.000 So, Moraes took this as Axe flipping him, the bird, and threatening three things.

00:55:23.000 One, to freeze the bank accounts of Axe's employee, the legal representative in Brazil, as an individual, not the company, the individual.

00:55:32.000 Wow.

00:55:32.000 He also booted the company's execs from their positions, yes.

00:55:37.000 We have a government judge booting executives out of the company.

00:55:43.000 And finally, He threatened to throw them in prison for content.

00:55:51.000 Right. 0.97

00:55:51.000 So Elon Musk finally said enough of this crap and pulled the plug on Axe operations in Brazil. 0.97

00:55:58.000 As for now, the platform is still up and running, but there's a real chance he might block the DNS of Axe and ask for the removal from the App Store and Google Play Store in any second.

00:56:14.000 VPN downloads in Brazil went through the roof.

00:56:18.000 Then, yesterday, ProtonVPN, who's a sponsor of my channel and one of the largest in Brazil, they vanished from App Store, from Apple App Store, and no one knows why.

00:56:31.000 Proton's Twitter account said that it might be due to a secret censorship order from Rice.

00:56:38.000 So that's where we stand right now.

00:56:41.000 Is that just, it's disappeared in Brazil or globally?

00:56:44.000 In Brazil.

00:56:45.000 Okay, all right.

00:56:46.000 Can people still, is there a way around it where they can go to the website and download it?

00:56:50.000 Yeah, well, you can download it through the website, and people that use Androids can also download either through the Google Play Store, or they can, people that use... Well, give it a, give it a big plug.

00:57:03.000 Let people know while you're, while you're right here.

00:57:05.000 Yeah, straight people that use, that don't use iPhones.

00:57:09.000 Hey, hey, hey, I'm not the one who enjoyed prison, buddy.

00:57:14.000 Well, yeah.

00:57:16.000 I didn't drop the soap, though.

00:57:17.000 No, you didn't.

00:57:19.000 You gave other people soap baskets, like Sherry the Berries.

00:57:23.000 So, I mean, I get that it's a power move, but still, you didn't have to have that big of a smile on your face.

00:57:27.000 But what's the website where people can go who are watching right now so they can download this VPN?

00:57:32.000 I think ProtonVPN.com, they can download the VPN.

00:57:36.000 But other VPNs are also very good.

00:57:39.000 Proton is responsible, ExpressVPN is good, NordVPN, other VPNs work.

00:57:43.000 The only thing that's weird is the fact that we already have an app that's being censored by the Brazilian court, apparently.

00:57:50.000 So that's where we stand right now.

00:57:53.000 And it's Look, people have got to realize the magnitude of that.

00:57:56.000 Brazil has 220 million people, is the fifth largest market of Axe in the world, and Axe operates in 195 countries.

00:58:06.000 This is like two countries more than the UN has as members.

00:58:10.000 Right.

00:58:10.000 So the fact that Brazil is shutting down Axe is huge.

00:58:15.000 Right.

00:58:16.000 Yeah, let me ask you this.

00:58:17.000 What do you think the endgame is?

00:58:20.000 What actions are being taken in Brazil by the people?

00:58:23.000 Aside from just what you've just mentioned, are there other steps that can be taken to stop this judge specifically?

00:58:29.000 Are people becoming aware of Marias the judge specifically?

00:58:32.000 Because you can come on here and talk about it.

00:58:33.000 Do the Brazilian people know how corrupt this guy is and how far his power reaches? 1.00

00:58:40.000 Well, the pressure is definitely starting to build up.

00:58:43.000 Marais, a year ago, he was winning all the awards as like personality of the year.

00:58:48.000 It's like the cover of the Time Magazine.

00:58:50.000 He was the savior of the Brazilian democracy.

00:58:52.000 It's like almost like the The press was treating Morais kind of like the same way that the U.S.

00:58:59.000 press used to treat Anthony Fauci.

00:59:03.000 Like, this is the greatest guy on the planet and he's saving our society and all that.

00:59:08.000 That started to change.

00:59:10.000 And now we're seeing Congress starting, they're very afraid of Morais, but they're starting to take a few steps.

00:59:16.000 And then you have this petition.

00:59:18.000 People expected until September 7, this petition will have 5 million signatures.

00:59:23.000 And then there's the demonstrations on September 7th.

00:59:27.000 Bolsonaro will be there.

00:59:30.000 Musk was invited.

00:59:31.000 So it's supposed to be big.

00:59:34.000 So the pressure is building up.

00:59:35.000 Also, it looks like the U.S.

00:59:38.000 Congress is going to introduce the Brazilian Democracy and Freedom Act anytime in September.

00:59:44.000 That's what I've heard.

00:59:45.000 And that will create, will propose sanctions to Brazilian authorities that violate human rights, such as free speech.

00:59:52.000 So the pressure is building up, and the only way for the country to survive this is impeaching Marias. 0.99

00:59:59.000 Otherwise, things are not great in Brazil at all, otherwise I wouldn't be here with as many journalists, prohibited from going back to my country.

01:00:10.000 But, look, can you imagine the moral hazard if we have all these dialogues, chats, becoming public, and nothing happens?

01:00:22.000 He's going to be more and more empowered.

01:00:23.000 So we have two ways.

01:00:25.000 One, we impeach Moraes and we establish a little bit over the rule of law in Brazil, things will get better.

01:00:32.000 Show accountability for those who violate Well, I really hope not.

01:00:36.000 Now, we're going to continue here on Mug Club.

01:00:38.000 I know September 7th is going to be the big protest.

01:00:41.000 My question to you is, if you're planning with that many people in Brazil, how are you going to make sure they arrive on time?

01:00:47.000 So we'll continue this on Mug Club.

01:00:49.000 Toolman with Mr. Figueiredo.
