Louder with Crowder - Jeff Goldblum Cancelled for Islam Comments?! | Ep #13 Good Morning MugClub

00:00:00.000 Oh, did you actually hit repeat?

00:00:15.000 No, it's just me.

00:00:15.000 I'm doing the intro, but I'm doing it in real time.

00:00:19.000 That's real time versus video tape.

00:00:23.000 Good morning, Mug Club and non-Mug Club, everyone out there on YouTube, because it's Mug Club Quarantine Month, so we're giving away everything for free this month.

00:00:38.000 That's a big deal.

00:00:39.000 This is the last week.

00:00:40.000 It is.

00:00:41.000 Last week.

00:00:41.000 And it's going to culminate in the livestream on Thursday, a few hours, but we were going to do the press briefing and then fact-check CNN.

00:00:48.000 Turns out they might not do the press briefings anymore.

00:00:50.000 That's what I hear.

00:00:51.000 I think you should keep doing them.

00:00:51.000 Really?

00:00:51.000 I don't know.

00:00:52.000 Yeah.

00:00:53.000 Do it anyways.

00:00:53.000 They're a lot of fun.

00:00:54.000 Are you okay with your headphones over there?

00:00:55.000 I hear a little bit of echo in here.

00:00:55.000 I'm good.

00:00:57.000 Is that... Pop's Crowder's mic isn't on yet, is it?

00:01:00.000 We have Papa Crowder's going to be in here a little bit later.

00:01:02.000 We're going to be talking about a couple of things, namely that Corona is not a hoax, not a hoax at all.

00:01:09.000 But you were hoaxed by the media.

00:01:12.000 Yeah, a lot of you.

00:01:13.000 We'll be talking about Joe Biden and all the rape.

00:01:18.000 All the rape stuff with Joe Biden.

00:01:20.000 And then more and more, the cover-up of the rape.

00:01:23.000 That's really the story.

00:01:24.000 That's a very common saying.

00:01:25.000 It's a long one.

00:01:25.000 about rape. The worst thing about the rape is is the it's the actual rape but

00:01:31.000 then the second thing is that they lie about the rape right is the cover-up.

00:01:34.000 That's a very common saying. Yeah it's very it's a long one yeah not on a

00:01:37.000 bumper sticker. With Joe Biden the hypocrisy is pretty bad.

00:01:40.000 But the rape was worse.

00:01:43.000 Are any of us surprised?

00:01:44.000 And by the way, you can subscribe, of course, iTunes, Android, anywhere podcasts are sold or not sold.

00:01:59.000 You guys all have a good weekend?

00:02:01.000 Yes.

00:02:02.000 Yeah, I had a great weekend.

00:02:03.000 Great weekend.

00:02:03.000 I had allergies though.

00:02:05.000 Oh, wow.

00:02:05.000 So you said you had a great weekend, but the first thing you mentioned is allergy.

00:02:08.000 Yeah, I'm saying I powered through.

00:02:11.000 I went down to Pikachu Peak.

00:02:13.000 What?

00:02:14.000 That's a place in Arizona.

00:02:15.000 It scared me.

00:02:16.000 Anyone who knows this, it's out there.

00:02:18.000 You find the Red Rocks in Arizona.

00:02:19.000 One time I was driving across the country from Los Angeles to Texas.

00:02:23.000 There's a place called Picacho Peak, I think.

00:02:26.000 It looks just something like prehistoric.

00:02:29.000 There's a little gift shop.

00:02:30.000 Little gift shop at the bottom down there.

00:02:32.000 And I went in, and they had scorpions and lollipops.

00:02:35.000 And I was like, oh my gosh, this is a giant lollipop with a scorpion that you can eat.

00:02:38.000 And the guy, I'm like, I don't know.

00:02:40.000 Does anyone actually eat these?

00:02:41.000 I hadn't seen the owner of the store.

00:02:42.000 I swear to God.

00:02:43.000 He turns around.

00:02:44.000 He's missing an eye.

00:02:44.000 He goes, well, it takes one with a brass pair, kid.

00:02:49.000 He was a veteran who lost his eye in NAMM.

00:02:52.000 Oh, wow.

00:02:53.000 If, sir, was very nice, very friendly, but if the owner of the novelty shop right underneath, and there's nothing for miles, Joe Peak is still, I would love to have you on the show.

00:03:02.000 Did he have a pet?

00:03:03.000 Call in.

00:03:03.000 Has he not heard of strawberry?

00:03:05.000 I mean, come on, let's get a normal flavor.

00:03:08.000 I think it was strawberry, and then there was a scorpion eating a lollipop.

00:03:11.000 Well, never mind, that's much more normal.

00:03:12.000 It's in the middle, I've seen those, yeah.

00:03:13.000 Did you end up eating it?

00:03:14.000 No!

00:03:15.000 Why not?

00:03:16.000 Because I'm not a psychopath.

00:03:18.000 Why would I eat a lollipop with a scorpion in it?

00:03:21.000 Oh wait, hold on a second!

00:03:23.000 CNN!

00:03:23.000 We're gonna live-check CNN a little bit.

00:03:25.000 Let's see what they have going on there.

00:03:26.000 What's your name?

00:03:28.000 Brooke Baldwin?

00:03:28.000 Parker Posey?

00:03:31.000 Poppy Harlow!

00:03:32.000 She's actually, she's fared the best with the 4K from home.

00:03:35.000 They had to use a blue screen.

00:03:36.000 She's actually, she's fared the best with the 4K from home.

00:03:39.000 Yeah.

00:03:41.000 That's like an after and before photo.

00:03:43.000 What are they looking at?

00:03:46.000 Common heartburn drug being studied as possible treatment.

00:03:49.000 I'm a little curious about this because I saw this this morning.

00:03:51.000 They were talking about how the heartburn medication sometimes deactivates certain receptors that are attacked by COVID.

00:03:58.000 Reg, I know, is there live.

00:03:59.000 We weren't ever supposed to talk about this, but it's actually surprising people have been talking about how bad smoking is.

00:04:04.000 And I have no medical advice here whatsoever.

00:04:06.000 But they did one study in China where they looked at the people who had contracted coronavirus, and it was unbelievably low, the percentage of smokers, in comparison to the total population of China.

00:04:18.000 And a big reason, they thought, is that nicotine actually acts on the, if I'm not mistaken, like the A2 receptors that COVID attacks.

00:04:24.000 So basically, it down-regulates the sensitivity of those receptors.

00:04:28.000 COVID attacks it, and it really has nothing to attack.

00:04:30.000 I wonder if it's the same thing with a little bit of Pepsodacy?

00:04:33.000 I don't know.

00:04:33.000 I thought you were going to say, because your lungs are already destroyed if you're dumb enough to smoke.

00:04:36.000 A little bit of Tums.

00:04:37.000 No.

00:04:37.000 I'm not saying you should smoke.

00:04:39.000 I'm just saying that apparently— Not medical advice.

00:04:42.000 Do not start smoking.

00:04:43.000 Inject yourself with smoke.

00:04:45.000 That's what Steven said, yes.

00:04:46.000 I'm not saying that smoking immunizes you against the Chinese flu.

00:04:49.000 And let me ask you this question for everyone watching, and we can go through with the chat.

00:04:53.000 But also, this is going to be archived, so people in the comments section below, can you stop shaking?

00:04:56.000 Do you have restless leg syndrome?

00:04:57.000 It does.

00:04:58.000 Do you have moderate to severe plaque psoriasis?

00:05:01.000 I feel like that's all the commercial I see on CNN.

00:05:03.000 It's restless leg syndrome.

00:05:05.000 Oh yeah, your leg shake?

00:05:06.000 You need this hardcore pharmaceutical.

00:05:08.000 Right now, Wade is just going like this.

00:05:10.000 This is my mild plaque psoriasis, just normal.

00:05:14.000 I love how it's moderate to severe.

00:05:15.000 It's like, well, if we say severe, we won't get enough clients.

00:05:17.000 It's a sliding scale.

00:05:19.000 Exactly.

00:05:19.000 Like, I don't know.

00:05:20.000 Well, I have moderate.

00:05:20.000 I'm moderate.

00:05:21.000 What if someone doesn't make that phone call because they think it's moderate, not moderate to severe, and then it just gets away from them.

00:05:27.000 It was only moderate!

00:05:28.000 No, it's moderate to severe, but it's too late!

00:05:31.000 Doctors, can you do anything for me?

00:05:33.000 I'm sorry, it's too late for you.

00:05:34.000 Now it's past moderate to severe.

00:05:36.000 It's just severe.

00:05:37.000 Oh, shoot! 1.00

00:05:40.000 There are children around, so the guy would fight.

00:05:42.000 It's a family show.

00:05:43.000 Which, I don't like those.

00:05:44.000 Why should I ask my doctor?

00:05:46.000 Shouldn't my doctor be telling me about it?

00:05:49.000 Why are you putting the onus on me?

00:05:50.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:05:51.000 You stole my word, Wade!

00:05:52.000 Onus!

00:05:53.000 Onus!

00:05:53.000 There's nothing I can do about this mod- There's nothing I can do.

00:05:57.000 I'm sorry, patient.

00:05:58.000 Wait, go see if there's a commercial.

00:06:00.000 There's nothing I can do about your moderate to severe plaque psoriasis.

00:06:03.000 What about, uh, what about, uh, Pepcid AC?

00:06:06.000 I mean, yeah, I guess we can give him a shot.

00:06:08.000 What?

00:06:09.000 Did I just self-diagnose in your office?

00:06:12.000 Give me your prescription, Pat.

00:06:13.000 I'm gonna write down some Percocet while I'm at it.

00:06:15.000 Like it's a speakeasy.

00:06:18.000 Yeah, come on back with the Pepcid AC.

00:06:20.000 Alright, we should probably get the news, but I will say this.

00:06:24.000 I don't hate western medicine, but pharmaceutical reps should be shot at dawn before breakfast.

00:06:31.000 Why before breakfast?

00:06:32.000 I talked about this when I was early married and I was defecating in boxes because I had some stomach problems.

00:06:38.000 Turned out it was related to having my appendix removed and all this stuff, like a probiotic thing.

00:06:41.000 So anyways, I'm in there, and I go to a gastrointestinologist, and he's taught, like, he's asked me what am I doing?

00:06:46.000 I'm like, well, you know, I just, I just, I can't, I keep cramping my pants.

00:06:49.000 You know, effectively.

00:06:51.000 And there's this stunner pharmaceutical rep.

00:06:54.000 He goes, hey, do you mind if one of, if this rep sits here?

00:06:57.000 I said, don't finish that sentence.

00:06:59.000 I do mind.

00:06:59.000 Yes.

00:07:00.000 I don't want them in there at all.

00:07:02.000 Yeah.

00:07:03.000 I don't even want your understudy there at all, whatever they call them.

00:07:06.000 Why do they need... No, they don't need to be in there for that.

00:07:08.000 Nurse?

00:07:08.000 So I don't know, but my question for you... Hello, nurse!

00:07:12.000 Do you think that any of this will catch up with Joe Biden?

00:07:15.000 The accusations, the allegations of rape, the fact that the media has not been holding him accountable whatsoever.

00:07:20.000 Before we go into any of this with Joe Biden, I want to be clear.

00:07:25.000 I think we should hold this to the same standard as we did Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

00:07:30.000 So I don't think that Joe Biden is guilty at this point.

00:07:33.000 I have no proof that he's guilty at this point, but it's fun to act like he's guilty.

00:07:39.000 I just want to be real honest with where we're coming from here.

00:07:41.000 There's a little bit of trolling going on, but there is some information that I think people should know.

00:07:45.000 The real crime here is not whether Joe Biden, well, first off, if he did it, that's the real crime.

00:07:49.000 If he raped, rape's an actual crime.

00:07:51.000 It's a crime.

00:07:52.000 It's not like, is it?

00:07:53.000 It's a crime crime.

00:07:54.000 It's just crime.

00:07:55.000 And not funny crime.

00:07:57.000 It's right on the button, crime.

00:07:59.000 Rape is right there. 1.00

00:08:00.000 It's one of those crimes that's sort of, eh, there's not a gray area.

00:08:03.000 That being said, the crime that we are witnessing right now is that of media malpractice.

00:08:08.000 Is that of them covering up what could potentially be a crime and making it hard for people to investigate whether or not a crime was committed.

00:08:18.000 And that, to me, is what's so sinister.

00:08:20.000 And I will say this, you never want to attribute malice, you know, as to what could be chalked up to stupidity.

00:08:26.000 Uh, but I'll make a case here as to why I think some foul play is going on.

00:08:32.000 You know, if this were Clue, I'd be like, ah, and the murderer is CNN!

00:08:39.000 So let's go to this really quick.

00:08:41.000 Tara Reade, she talked about how, the reason this was found was she talked about, yeah, not that Tara Reade.

00:08:47.000 It's different.

00:08:48.000 Blow at a party.

00:08:49.000 This is Tara Reade who accused Joe Biden.

00:08:51.000 That's just an unfortunate coincidence, right?

00:08:53.000 Well, it's spelled differently.

00:08:54.000 It is, but it doesn't matter.

00:08:55.000 Right.

00:08:56.000 And there's also, believe it or not, Joe Biden is also being accused by Rosaria Dawson.

00:09:02.000 He just, apparently he had a fetish for Josie and the Pussycat.

00:09:07.000 Co-star names.

00:09:09.000 It's a very weird fetish for a rapist.

00:09:11.000 Yeah, it's tough.

00:09:12.000 You know?

00:09:13.000 Different strokes.

00:09:14.000 Also, he tried to rape someone from different strokes.

00:09:18.000 Oh, wow.

00:09:19.000 Who would that possibly be?

00:09:20.000 What you talking about, Biden?

00:09:22.000 Rape? 0.99

00:09:22.000 He's like trying to smell the terror. 0.99

00:09:24.000 Always talking about rape.

00:09:25.000 So Tara Reade said in one interview and another, you know my mother did call in to Larry King

00:09:29.000 back in 1993 about this and it was sort of veiled and she said I bet you someone could

00:09:35.000 find the episode.

00:09:36.000 Well, someone did find the episode and even though you can't 100% confirm that this is

00:09:41.000 Tara Reade's mother, the one who's accusing Joe Biden of sexual assault, we can confirm

00:09:46.000 that her mother lived in San Luis Obispo.

00:09:50.000 We can confirm it's around the time frame where she said that it would have taken place, and the voice in question has been identified as Tara Reade's mom by some folks.

00:10:00.000 So right now, just to be clear, this is not really in question.

00:10:03.000 It hasn't been confirmed, but we haven't heard anyone even deny it.

00:10:06.000 I want you to listen to this phone call.

00:10:08.000 Tara Reade, woman who was allegedly raped by Biden, her mother calling into Larry King.

00:10:13.000 We're back.

00:10:13.000 A couple more phone calls on this very important topic.

00:10:16.000 Our guests are former United States Senator Howard Baker.

00:10:19.000 Richard Allen, former National Security Advisor, and Lois Romano of the Washington Post.

00:10:24.000 San Luis Obispo, California.

00:10:26.000 Hello.

00:10:27.000 Yes, hello.

00:10:28.000 She's so bad.

00:10:29.000 I'm wondering what a staffer would do besides go to the press in Washington.

00:10:37.000 My daughter has just left there after working for a prominent senator and could not get through with her problems at all.

00:10:42.000 And the only thing she could have done was go to the press, and she chose not to do it out of respect for him.

00:10:48.000 Or she had a story to tell, but out of respect for the person she worked for, she didn't tell it.

00:10:53.000 That's true.

00:10:55.000 But these are the people who do come to the Lois Romanos, right?

00:10:57.000 The staff worker who says, I want to let you know about what's going on, either with my boss or the guy down the hall.

00:11:03.000 And a lot of these people have a sense of obligation.

00:11:04.000 They feel that this public official should be accountable if it's something Now, the first thing I noticed, I apologize for the poor sound, is how bad Larry King is at his job.

00:11:17.000 He just repeats what the other people say.

00:11:19.000 And then tosses to someone to do his job and says the city wrong.

00:11:22.000 Now, in San Luis Obispo, California, you're on the air.

00:11:27.000 Okay, so you're saying you were raped and you want to know if that is a crime, correct?

00:11:32.000 Your Honor?

00:11:34.000 What is the legal status on rape?

00:11:36.000 Uh, it is a crime, Larry.

00:11:38.000 It is a crime, San Luis Obispo!

00:11:40.000 We'll go to our caller in Poughkeepsie.

00:11:43.000 That's a big legal thumbs down from our representative here.

00:11:46.000 This headline says that Chipotle has gotten in trouble one more time for contaminated food.

00:11:52.000 No.

00:11:53.000 Doctor, your thoughts on contamination at Chipotle?

00:11:57.000 Thank you for your commentary, we'll be back!

00:11:59.000 He doesn't do anything!

00:12:00.000 Yeah, it's pretty bad.

00:12:01.000 And people act as though he's providing some sort of value.

00:12:04.000 Okay, so here's what's really scary.

00:12:07.000 After this, the August 11th, 1993 broadcast of that show disappeared.

00:12:13.000 Keep this up because I need to see this really quickly.

00:12:15.000 Now, here's what's crazy about this.

00:12:17.000 154, 155, if you look at these episodes, right?

00:12:20.000 We don't know when this was removed from the Google Play Store, but it skips from August 10th, August 12th.

00:12:26.000 I've looked into, and keep this up for a little bit because I can't look at this on my iPad.

00:12:31.000 I looked everywhere else through these seasons and I couldn't find a day skipped.

00:12:35.000 Provided it wasn't a weekend where the show was actually running.

00:12:37.000 This is the only one that I can find.

00:12:39.000 And if you looked at it, it goes from 154 to 155.

00:12:43.000 That means they had to change the episode numbers of the catalog after for the entire season.

00:12:48.000 Okay, you can bring that down.

00:12:49.000 That is insane.

00:12:51.000 Some people were saying, well, CNN had this removed.

00:12:53.000 No, CNN actually didn't have it removed.

00:12:56.000 But that's even scarier to me, because that means that Google Play themselves removed it, and someone at Google, Alphabet Google, changed the entire episode count afterward.

00:13:06.000 Which makes me wonder, are they sacrificing children to Moloch when they go out to Bohemian Grove?

00:13:12.000 What kind of a cabal is there behind the scenes right now?

00:13:15.000 But they removed that video, though, so don't worry.

00:13:16.000 It's already been removed.

00:13:17.000 Right, yeah, it's already been removed.

00:13:19.000 Some people are saying there's no conspiracy because CNN doesn't do anything with Google.

00:13:23.000 Well, hold on a second.

00:13:24.000 That just means that Google is in on it with CNN.

00:13:26.000 It gets worse if that's the case.

00:13:27.000 If CNN isn't the actor here, it's somebody else that did it.

00:13:30.000 And it's like, oh, great.

00:13:31.000 Now we have to worry about them, too.

00:13:32.000 Or even more.

00:13:33.000 I mean, we always do.

00:13:34.000 Yeah, and of all people, Google should know how the Internet works.

00:13:38.000 As if they think that if you remove it, then it's gone.

00:13:41.000 It never happened before.

00:13:46.000 Zero.

00:13:47.000 Correct.

00:13:48.000 That's correct from the 1990s, yes.

00:13:51.000 Now Gerald, I hear you use the internet, right?

00:13:53.000 I do not.

00:13:55.000 We'll be back with more calls from Sam the Big Abysmal.

00:14:01.000 He looks like an owl.

00:14:02.000 But in the internet, everything is everywhere all the time.

00:14:05.000 So why do they think that, yeah, just, okay, we'll change the numbers so people won't even know.

00:14:10.000 Like nobody has the Wayback Machine.

00:14:11.000 And so we have actually, so with this evidence, which is, it's Not then, but it does corroborate what she says happened.

00:14:17.000 Certainly more than we ever had with Brett Kavanaugh.

00:14:21.000 Exactly what I was going to say.

00:14:22.000 We have passed the point of the evidence that we had with Brett Kavanaugh.

00:14:26.000 We are light years beyond that with evidence now for this case, and we're not hearing anything about it.

00:14:30.000 And here's what matters, too.

00:14:31.000 There are three potential Biden running mates that were on Sunday shows.

00:14:34.000 None of them were asked about the allegations.

00:14:37.000 And I believe it was Tara Reid who was really pissed off with Anderson Cooper. 0.97

00:14:41.000 No one asked anyone anything.

00:14:43.000 Let's just simplify this.

00:14:44.000 Let's boil this down.

00:14:45.000 Let's be reductive.

00:14:46.000 What happened to Me Too?

00:14:47.000 That was an entire year's worth of content.

00:14:51.000 It was hashtag Me Too.

00:14:53.000 Everything was Me Too.

00:14:55.000 Right now, it's nowhere to be found.

00:14:56.000 Kind of like Black Lives Matter.

00:14:58.000 What happened to Black Lives Matter?

00:14:59.000 That's gone now?

00:15:01.000 None of it?

00:15:01.000 There's no Me Too at all.

00:15:03.000 Whereas right now, you have far more than you ever have with Kavanaugh.

00:15:05.000 Now, what do I mean by that?

00:15:06.000 How do I say that we have more evidence here than we have with Kavanaugh, where there really isn't all that much evidence?

00:15:11.000 Well, with Kavanaugh, we didn't have that much evidence, but we had a lot of anti-evidence.

00:15:17.000 We had a woman, Christine Blasey Ford, who came forward and said that something happened on a day that she couldn't remember in a place that she described which police investigated and didn't even exist.

00:15:25.000 Her story that she gave to the psychologist didn't corroborate with a story that was put out in journals, and I think it was the Washington Post at the time, and wasn't the same as the testimony that was provided at the hearing.

00:15:36.000 Then there were other women who came forward who afterward recanted and said, Okay, that wasn't necessarily true, and the only reason they did that was because people came out and said there's no possible way he could have been there at that time.

00:15:46.000 Throughout this entire time span, Brett Kavanaugh was like a real-life Doug in that he kept a journal for his entire life, which was corroborated in several several other instances, which is why it was considered to

00:15:56.000 be at least semi-valid as a form of evidence, and he has no history outside of the

00:16:01.000 accusations that were brought to light immediately by the media, there is no other history of

00:16:07.000 Brett Kavanaugh committing any type of inappropriate sexual conduct at all.

00:16:12.000 Nothing.

00:16:12.000 The only time it had ever been brought up was when the media immediately full-on assault against him.

00:16:17.000 This isn't the first time this has happened with Joe Biden.

00:16:21.000 Believe your lying eyes and ears.

00:16:23.000 He sniffs children.

00:16:24.000 He sniffs children.

00:16:25.000 He has biker ladies sit on his lap. 1.00

00:16:27.000 Several people have come forward before and just said that he's made them uncomfortable.

00:16:31.000 Now this woman claims rape. 1.00

00:16:33.000 She says, I bet if you go back to Larry King, my mom called in.

00:16:37.000 That goes up and then it comes down because Google decides not to cover it.

00:16:41.000 Or to remove it entirely, and then no media entity interviewing Joe Biden or any of the potential running mates bring up any of this?

00:16:49.000 There's a lot more evidence here than Brett Kavanaugh.

00:16:51.000 But can we not give them at least as much credence, like as we gave Christine Bush before?

00:16:56.000 There's so much more evidence and less disconfirming evidence, but can we not just maybe raise them to the same level?

00:17:02.000 Well, at least ask a roundabout question about it and say, hey, you're potentially one of his running mates.

00:17:08.000 What do you think about these allegations, though they're obviously false?

00:17:11.000 I know CNN would throw something like that in, right?

00:17:13.000 What do you think about these terribly false accusations by that whore of a woman? 1.00

00:17:18.000 Discredit her immediately.

00:17:19.000 But they didn't even say that.

00:17:20.000 They said nothing about it.

00:17:22.000 And I'm not looking for her to be the spokesperson for the next Me Too movement.

00:17:26.000 I'm saying it's possible, but at least ask the question, if you are a news agency, and you said you are, this is what you're supposed to do.

00:17:32.000 There is no Me Too movement.

00:17:33.000 No, I know, I know.

00:17:34.000 That's the point, it's dead.

00:17:35.000 And I would, as a matter of fact, the one thing I will say, the silver lining in this is don't expect people to trot out false accusations against Donald Trump this election.

00:17:42.000 That was what was brilliant the last go around when they brought out the, you know, the tape of him grabbing by the, you know, and then he brought out Juanita Broderick.

00:17:48.000 Yeah.

00:17:49.000 Stand up!

00:17:50.000 That's right, that's right.

00:17:51.000 Bill Clinton, most people think of Monica Lewinsky. 0.60

00:17:53.000 That's awkward.

00:17:54.000 But she was in love with, she loved, they had a relationship.

00:17:57.000 You were raped, right?

00:17:58.000 You were raped, Juanita. 1.00

00:18:00.000 Juanita was raped.

00:18:01.000 It's terrible.

00:18:01.000 He's got like the Juanita card, right?

00:18:02.000 He's ready to just slap it down.

00:18:04.000 Oh, we shouldn't bring this up anymore.

00:18:06.000 I better be quiet now.

00:18:07.000 I think that, well, God, who knows?

00:18:09.000 The media might decide to make this go away and bring out some false allegation against Donald Trump.

00:18:13.000 But here's something else.

00:18:14.000 If someone were to come forward, let's say right now, who worked for Joe Biden, someone would interact with Joe Biden and say, you know what?

00:18:20.000 Joe Biden actually, he's kind of racist.

00:18:22.000 He treated me poorly because I'm a minority.

00:18:24.000 You would have to go, well, let's go back to the tale of the tape.

00:18:26.000 You can't go into a 7-Eleven without a slight Indian accent.

00:18:29.000 Barack Obama is the first clean, articulate, Did he say Negro or African American?

00:18:37.000 He said I don't want my children growing up in a jungle, a racial jungle.

00:18:42.000 What about the Shylocks? 1.00

00:18:47.000 Put you back in chains.

00:18:48.000 Now, does it mean that he's a racist?

00:18:50.000 I don't think that Joe Biden is a racist.

00:18:51.000 But if someone were to come forward and say he treated me with a racial insensitivity that made me uncomfortable, there's far more of a track record there Then you would have a Brett Kavanaugh night.

00:19:03.000 It's the rules for radicals thing of accusing somebody of doing exactly what you're doing.

00:19:07.000 It distracts people from you taking part in the things that you're making fun of Donald Trump or others are doing.

00:19:12.000 It's an insane strategy.

00:19:14.000 Yeah, there'd be plenty of evidence to convict him if somebody came out and said, yes, he's actually a secret racist.

00:19:19.000 Joe Biden?

00:19:20.000 Yeah, he has the hood.

00:19:20.000 He has the whole get up.

00:19:22.000 It's in his closet.

00:19:23.000 There'd be plenty of evidence to be like, oh, yeah.

00:19:25.000 All right.

00:19:25.000 Well, that makes sense.

00:19:26.000 You just need a few pictures of him having dinner with Robert Byrd.

00:19:28.000 That'll happen.

00:19:30.000 Protemporum at that point.

00:19:31.000 He was fourth in line for the presidency.

00:19:34.000 A couple of airplanes went down.

00:19:36.000 Robert Byrd wasn't just kind of dabbling in racism.

00:19:40.000 He was recruiting.

00:19:40.000 He had Klan dental in a company car.

00:19:43.000 The Klan sent him a town car.

00:19:46.000 Very hard to find a Lincoln town car all white.

00:19:48.000 Is it like Mary Kay?

00:19:50.000 You get enough recruits, you get your own racist car?

00:19:53.000 You get enough recruits and you get a car with a custom burning crosshood on it.

00:19:57.000 Did we just reduce the KKK to a multi-level marketing scheme?

00:20:00.000 Yes, exactly what it is.

00:20:01.000 It has a high roof for the hood.

00:20:03.000 It's all very important.

00:20:06.000 It's got the bubble roof like they put on those conversion vans for the ambulances.

00:20:09.000 It's like the Popemobile, right?

00:20:12.000 It's really basically a Westphalia, is what it is.

00:20:17.000 Alright, that's good.

00:20:17.000 I feel comfortable with that.

00:20:19.000 I don't have to compromise my uniform, and I can get where I need to go.

00:20:25.000 Anyway, my point is, Joe Biden's a rapist and a racist.

00:20:30.000 I don't think he's either of those things.

00:20:32.000 But I am at the point, you know, I used to say like, hey, we should be above that.

00:20:36.000 I don't know.

00:20:39.000 I think they can do it for comedy because they can see that and then they can say, no, we don't actually think he is.

00:20:44.000 Like, they're both there, right?

00:20:45.000 We're fine.

00:20:46.000 But at least hold him to the same standard you hold him to.

00:20:48.000 And by the way, the interviews that happened on the Sunday shows that you mentioned, I don't know, I know that there's three, I know two of the potential running mates, and they're both women.

00:20:55.000 Is the third one a woman as well?

00:20:56.000 Yeah.

00:20:56.000 So all three women, this was not a relevant topic, a women's issue.

00:21:00.000 Come on! 0.61

00:21:01.000 It's not like there was a guy sitting up there and you kind of skate past it.

00:21:03.000 I understand you potentially could be Joe Biden's vice presidential candidate.

00:21:06.000 Well, I don't know, you know, exploratory committee.

00:21:09.000 Quick question, are you concerned about him raping you?

00:21:11.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:21:12.000 Let's start with smelling your hair.

00:21:14.000 Is it okay if he smells your hair?

00:21:15.000 Now, running mate for Joe Biden, he didn't diddle you, correct?

00:21:20.000 At no point did he smell your collar.

00:21:23.000 All right, your thought on sniffing babies.

00:21:25.000 We'll be back.

00:21:26.000 Larry King, how does that guy, how does he have a job?

00:21:29.000 I'm sorry, Dave Rubin.

00:21:30.000 I know Dave Rubin really likes Larry King.

00:21:32.000 I can't think of anyone, maybe Barbara Walters.

00:21:36.000 She's the one who trivialized news worse than anyone I think I've ever seen.

00:21:39.000 It's that voice.

00:21:40.000 Larry King's got that, I don't know, easy to imitate voice.

00:21:43.000 Get that paint.

00:21:44.000 I don't know, it's fun.

00:21:46.000 Way to search for a way to compliment the guy, Wade.

00:21:48.000 I don't know.

00:21:48.000 Come on.

00:21:48.000 I don't know, he's the worst guy at handling... Larry King was the worst guy at handling the trolls.

00:21:53.000 But caller number two, calling in from Tempe, here on the air.

00:21:58.000 Howard Stern's penis, Howard Stern's penis, ba-ba-booey, ba-ba-booey.

00:22:00.000 Hmm.

00:22:01.000 Howard Stern's penis.

00:22:04.000 Do you know anything about that, Senator Byrd?

00:22:06.000 No matter what he said, he has to repeat it.

00:22:10.000 He has no filter.

00:22:12.000 Oh, by the way, we're going to get to some new updates on the coronavirus, COVID-19, the deaths, and the all-cause mortality rate.

00:22:20.000 Again, I make no apologies for the position that we've maintained here on this show.

00:22:23.000 But before that, I know that many of you, of course, you're in quarantine, and right now we're seeing that actually it looks like they're going to be in quarantine still in Wisconsin through May.

00:22:31.000 What?

00:22:32.000 So, yeah, all the way through May is what I just saw there on CNN.

00:22:34.000 So we know that many of you have had your morning commutes disrupted.

00:22:38.000 We do our best to serve you, so I believe we have our senior traffic correspondent on.

00:22:42.000 It's time for Traffic Update.

00:22:44.000 All right, Thomas Finnegan with our Traffic Update.

00:22:57.000 Tell us what's going on this morning there, Thomas.

00:23:00.000 That doesn't sound good.

00:23:01.000 Wow.

00:23:02.000 Nothing good, Steven.

00:23:05.000 Nothing good.

00:23:08.000 Okay.

00:23:09.000 Thank you very much.

00:23:10.000 All right.

00:23:10.000 This has been our Traffic Update with Thomas Finnick.

00:23:11.000 That's great reporting.

00:23:23.000 I don't know.

00:23:24.000 He killed a junior correspondent.

00:23:26.000 Has anyone seen Thomas in a while?

00:23:28.000 No.

00:23:29.000 I haven't seen him in a while.

00:23:29.000 He's the guy on one of the front lines, though.

00:23:31.000 Yeah, he is.

00:23:31.000 He's on the front lines.

00:23:32.000 He's definitely the guy I want out there.

00:23:34.000 Also, by the way... Right next to the tornado.

00:23:35.000 Do you know what a new term... because we've been calling everyone on the front lines working in hospitals as heroes, right?

00:23:42.000 They're on the front lines working in hospitals, but do you know what a synonym is for that now?

00:23:46.000 Furloughed.

00:23:47.000 I don't know, we've just destroyed, decimated the health industry here in the United States.

00:23:53.000 A lot of people don't know this, that people are just, they can't stay in business, because they were waiting for a surge that never fully came, and the idea of flattening the curve was to make sure they were equipped.

00:24:02.000 Now they're equipped, but they can't provide non-essential services, they can't make money, and I bet, who knows what's going to happen with the healthcare sector after this.

00:24:08.000 And they're not doing well visits.

00:24:09.000 So a lot of these doctors, obviously, are just sitting empty.

00:24:12.000 Doing TikTok videos and stuff.

00:24:15.000 So pediatricians are just sitting around waiting for more kids to come in, but the kids don't come in for the regular scheduled stuff.

00:24:21.000 And that's also a big reason that the testing isn't very high, because people were told not to go in.

00:24:25.000 They're afraid of this virus, and so they don't want to go in and get tested.

00:24:27.000 And then they say, well why isn't there more?

00:24:29.000 Unless you force people to come in and get tested, you're not gonna have more testing.

00:24:32.000 The good thing is now we have several different municipalities that have done antibody testing.

00:24:37.000 And I know this isn't a hundred 100% accurate, okay?

00:24:39.000 I'll do a graph maybe next time when we do this show, but we have New York City, Santa Clara County, Los Angeles County, Miami-Dade County, and then Chelsea, Massachusetts near Boston, okay?

00:24:50.000 Many, many, many, many thousands of people now where they've done random testing, sampling for antibodies in all of these different populations.

00:24:56.000 These aren't small cities.

00:24:57.000 Every single one has come out showing a 4 to over 6% infection rate, meaning far higher than we initially estimated.

00:25:05.000 Every single one.

00:25:06.000 Let me go back.

00:25:07.000 New York City, Los Angeles County, Miami-Dade, and I know Chelsea. 0.73

00:25:11.000 If someone knows of another large-scale antibody test that's reliable, send it in because they're changing every single day.

00:25:17.000 Every single one has now revised their death rate to 0.5 to 0.1.

00:25:21.000 Keep in mind, 95% of those in every single study conducted involves people over the age of 70 with comorbidities.

00:25:30.000 So it is the flu.

00:25:31.000 Right now, the actual death rate is far more communicable, but it is the flu.

00:25:35.000 Let's be really clear.

00:25:36.000 Now, some people are saying there might be some false positives for those antibody tests, and so it might be a little bit high.

00:25:41.000 All right, OK, let's say that.

00:25:42.000 But let's take a sliding scale here.

00:25:44.000 My left, your right.

00:25:46.000 Maybe I should do it in reverse.

00:25:47.000 My right, your left, OK?

00:25:48.000 The flu is about 0.1% death rate.

00:25:51.000 Then the projected death rates that we had was between three and seven percent. I heard it's high at

00:25:56.000 seven percent. New York they said seven percent.

00:25:57.000 Let's call it five percent. So, point one flu, seven percent here. Okay? Here you go. I wish I had a

00:26:05.000 little chart to draw this for you.

00:26:06.000 I'd have to be a long way away. Everyone was called a science denier if they said, well you know what, it seems

00:26:10.000 like it's more comparable to the flu than what they're claiming it's going

00:26:12.000 to be.

00:26:12.000 Right. Let's say that there are a few too many positive antibody tests right now

00:26:16.000 and it's, I don't know, point five percent.

00:26:19.000 Let's say it's .7%, which no one is saying, by the way.

00:26:22.000 No one is saying the death rate at this point, the mortality rate, could be any more than .7%.

00:26:27.000 Most people are saying it's really more like .1 to .5%.

00:26:29.000 Okay.

00:26:30.000 The stupid, crazy, anti-science deniers who said it was closer to the flu.

00:26:34.000 0.1 versus 5% over here.

00:26:37.000 Science, Fauci, all these folks with their projections.

00:26:40.000 Take your little dot, put it on that sliding... What is this, a stick graph?

00:26:44.000 What do you call it?

00:26:44.000 We'll call it a graph.

00:26:45.000 Just a graph.

00:26:46.000 Guess what?

00:26:47.000 The crazy anti-vaxxer, climate-denying, anti-science folks who said it's more comparable to the flu got it exponentially more correct than the experts.

00:26:57.000 And of course, you should get vaccinated.

00:26:59.000 I'm not an anti-vaxxer, of course.

00:27:00.000 I'm not saying that there's no such thing as climate change.

00:27:02.000 I'm saying you labeled these people as anti-science peasants who couldn't know.

00:27:08.000 You should trust the experts.

00:27:10.000 You guys were off by thousands.

00:27:14.000 It's incredible, and the cat's really out of the bag on this.

00:27:16.000 When are we done with this?

00:27:18.000 How much longer does this charade need to go on, where people say, we have to stay closed, and we have to do this through May, and we have to keep our businesses shut down, and hospitals?

00:27:26.000 And every time you see CNN up there, by the way, they're talking about, oh crap, here's another one.

00:27:30.000 Because restaurants are closed, people aren't buying as much food from restaurants, and so the farmers are having problems now, and the supply chain is starting to break down.

00:27:37.000 We really need to reopen the economy.

00:27:38.000 It's a domino effect.

00:27:39.000 Duh! 1.00

00:27:39.000 There's a great video with some people from I think Los Angeles, two doctors, who talked about the patients that they've actually seen and they've conducted some antibody tests. 1.00

00:27:47.000 And I think we have it up at lottowithcreditor.com.

00:27:49.000 I will tell you this, right now in our neighborhood, okay, we all live in about the same neighborhood, we can go to Costco and go shopping, right?

00:27:56.000 We can drive through or pick up at Shake Shack, at Five Guys, at Dunkin' Donuts, right?

00:28:01.000 You can drive through or pick up.

00:28:03.000 Dunkin', sorry.

00:28:04.000 That's right.

00:28:04.000 They want me to remove the donuts.

00:28:07.000 No, no, no, no, no.

00:28:08.000 You wear that around your neck for all time, okay?

00:28:11.000 You contributed to this obesity epidemic, thus increasing the mortality rate of SARS and COVID.

00:28:16.000 You own it.

00:28:16.000 You will forever be Dunkin' Donuts.

00:28:18.000 You know what?

00:28:19.000 If nothing else, I'm gonna call you Donuts.

00:28:23.000 So I can go to Costco, I can drive through Shake Shack, Five Guys, Taco Bell, Dunkin' Donuts, but I can't support my local bakery.

00:28:31.000 I can't support my local mom-and-pop restaurant.

00:28:33.000 You tell me how that makes sense.

00:28:35.000 Yeah, it doesn't make sense at all.

00:28:36.000 Especially when you can social distance in restaurants and you can sanitize stuff.

00:28:40.000 I mean, God forbid, you're telling me the fork they're putting on my table isn't sanitized and I'm putting it in my mouth every other time I go to that restaurant?

00:28:47.000 Yeah, CNN did a segment this morning about how this is all affecting black small business owners.

00:28:53.000 It's affecting every small business owner.

00:28:56.000 So we don't need to make this some sort of racial thing.

00:28:58.000 This is a negative thing for people who can't.

00:29:00.000 Everybody.

00:29:01.000 Yeah, for everybody.

00:29:01.000 And everybody's experiencing this at a different level, but small businesses are experiencing it at a high level.

00:29:06.000 Isn't it kind of funny that right now they say this is affecting black people and minorities, and they want to make it a racial thing, but then if you just say, we've gotten in trouble where we've said, I've made jokes about, you know, sickle cell, and you report it like they catch sickle cell, like, ooh, that's racist.

00:29:17.000 And that's a biological fact!

00:29:19.000 It's a biological fact!

00:29:21.000 And I know this, I'm French Canadian, I have Acadian blood.

00:29:24.000 I didn't realize that there are so many hereditary diseases exclusive to Acadian bloodlines until I did genetic testing.

00:29:28.000 It's the same with black people's sickle cell. 1.00

00:29:29.000 Let's be honest, they don't really want to talk about genetic predispositions.

00:29:33.000 They want to talk about food deserts and they want to talk about black business owners.

00:29:35.000 They don't really want to talk about diseases that might affect people of a specific lineage, of a specific racial makeup.

00:29:42.000 You think that might be a little helpful to know?

00:29:44.000 I think it might be a little helpful to know.

00:29:45.000 A little bit.

00:29:46.000 No, don't talk about it.

00:29:47.000 You've got a few little Grim Reaper looking cells inside you.

00:29:50.000 They do.

00:29:51.000 Those little sickles.

00:29:53.000 Some people call it a sickle cell, I call it a sling cell.

00:29:57.000 So let me give you a little bit of a coronavirus update here that I think is important.

00:30:01.000 We didn't want to lead it with that because we thought Rake was more interesting.

00:30:04.000 And I'm getting a little bit tired of coronavirus.

00:30:06.000 I bet you this time... Man, we couldn't have timed our quarantine month more perfectly.

00:30:10.000 Because after this, you guys will be free.

00:30:12.000 And next show, I'm going to lick a popsicle stick and leave it on... Here, look.

00:30:20.000 Anyone wants to get it over with?

00:30:22.000 Wait, do you have the COVID?

00:30:24.000 I'm pretty sure we all have the COVID.

00:30:25.000 I'm pretty sure we all had coronavirus at some point.

00:30:27.000 Early in the year.

00:30:28.000 Early in the year.

00:30:28.000 I'm pretty sure we all had it.

00:30:29.000 Well, that's the problem.

00:30:30.000 Anybody testing is tough.

00:30:31.000 But you know what?

00:30:32.000 The best thing to do right now is isolate the sick and the elderly and get it over with. 1.00

00:30:37.000 Not medical!

00:30:37.000 Whoa, whoa!

00:30:38.000 Did you mean kill them?

00:30:39.000 No!

00:30:40.000 No!

00:30:41.000 Let me get it over with! 0.78

00:30:43.000 Oh, so you're saying, inject bleach into my temple.

00:30:46.000 Yes, that is what I heard.

00:30:48.000 Even Robert dangerously suggests.

00:30:50.000 Yes.

00:30:52.000 Don't even get me started on blood irradiation and all that stuff,

00:30:54.000 because then people say, are you giving medical advice?

00:30:56.000 No, I'm just saying it's an actual thing.

00:30:57.000 It's real.

00:30:58.000 It's a real thing.

00:30:59.000 Just pointing it out.

00:31:00.000 But OK, before I move on to the COVID update, Donald Trump, this is the kind of thing he does where he screws his supporters.

00:31:04.000 Donald Trump's ego screws his supporters.

00:31:06.000 He said I was being sarcastic.

00:31:07.000 You were not being sarcastic.

00:31:09.000 No.

00:31:09.000 You said something that was reasonable, by the way, until you misspoke.

00:31:13.000 I should have said, is there some way to get the disinfectant to like a cleaning in the lungs with a real doctor?

00:31:18.000 Listen, you probably should have let the doctors do the speaking.

00:31:21.000 You introduce the topic, bring out the expert.

00:31:24.000 That's what these press house—press house, now I sound—press house briefings.

00:31:28.000 If I were Donald Trump, I would say, press house briefings, and they would say, did you mean White House press briefings?

00:31:33.000 No.

00:31:34.000 Excuse me.

00:31:34.000 I was being cute.

00:31:39.000 And there's so many fevers they're changing all of it on the White House website to press house briefings.

00:31:44.000 And so people have been coming back at us saying, like, do you regret saying what you said on Friday?

00:31:47.000 No, I don't.

00:31:48.000 I regret nothing.

00:31:50.000 Because people were going out there saying, I think it was Governor Whitmer from Michigan saying, you absolutely should not drink Lysol.

00:31:55.000 Find me a quote even remotely close to Donald Trump saying you need to drink Lysol.

00:31:59.000 No, he didn't say that.

00:32:00.000 What the media went forward with, what they used was completely, it was media malpractice, it was journalistic malpractice.

00:32:06.000 It's totally taken out of context.

00:32:08.000 That being said, as we said on Friday, Donald Trump sometimes speaks like an idiot.

00:32:12.000 And for him to be defended by his supporters, saying the media has taken this out of context, which granted might have been a misspeak, he would rather lie and say, I was being sarcastic, than just own up that he made a mistake.

00:32:26.000 That's a problem.

00:32:27.000 Do you think that the media, the people in the media actually think that he means put Lysol in your veins.

00:32:33.000 No, of course not.

00:32:34.000 You don't think they think that?

00:32:35.000 No.

00:32:35.000 I think that they just are so blind that they actually don't understand what words are coming out.

00:32:39.000 Like, they're trying to misinterpret it.

00:32:41.000 So you actually think they're just... No, I don't think so.

00:32:42.000 Okay.

00:32:43.000 And I think someone at CNN called Lysol.

00:32:46.000 And I think this is what... Did you hear that Donald Trump said that he should drink?

00:32:49.000 And someone at Lysol went, what, what, what?

00:32:52.000 And then released a statement because they don't want to be held liable.

00:32:54.000 Well, I mean, and put it this way, a lot of people aren't watching the press briefings, a lot are, they had great ratings, but if you heard about this, most likely the only way that you heard about it was CNN saying something about injecting something into your body.

00:33:06.000 Well, it wasn't just CNN, it made it all the way through the problem and then it gets carried online.

00:33:10.000 CNN is inconsequential in that no one watches their ratings, but they still are a driver of course.

00:33:13.000 But everybody else is reporting it, MSNBC, all over the web, right?

00:33:16.000 And that's how people would have heard it, not from Donald Trump himself.

00:33:19.000 So everyone is chloroquine lady?

00:33:21.000 Yes.

00:33:23.000 The entire media is the person we actually thought was stupid.

00:33:26.000 Turns out she's a murderer. 1.00

00:33:27.000 And by the way, that was total fake news, the idea that there have been increased calls to poison control?

00:33:31.000 Not true.

00:33:31.000 Really?

00:33:31.000 Yeah, not true.

00:33:32.000 Not true.

00:33:33.000 Fake news.

00:33:33.000 I think we can probably bring this up, actually, if I'm not mistaken.

00:33:36.000 Yeah, we can bring this up as a fact check.

00:33:38.000 We had it in here in the show map this morning, and then we decided to go... A different direction.

00:33:42.000 Go the direction of RuPaul's Drag Race.

00:33:46.000 Let's go through the COVID update, and then we'll pop a shot or with some stories from back in Detroit.

00:33:50.000 So a new Israeli global study shows that this is something that's been across the board, and they can't necessarily explain it, that there's a rapid increase with coronavirus.

00:33:57.000 It peaks in the sixth week, and then it declines in the eighth week, regardless of lockdown policies.

00:34:03.000 And you've heard us talk about this quite a bit, because if you look at Sweden, they're not worse off.

00:34:07.000 For example, they had no lockdown.

00:34:09.000 And there's a reasonable difference between the two, where you should be able to split the difference.

00:34:13.000 Where you either lock down everything and you quarantine the healthy, which makes no sense.

00:34:18.000 Historically, you don't quarantine the healthy, you quarantine the sick.

00:34:21.000 Then there's the other approach of Sweden where you don't do anything and you leave all schools open.

00:34:25.000 You don't really change the way of life a whole bunch.

00:34:26.000 I think there's a middle ground, which is you quarantine the sick, you quarantine the vulnerable, and you allow the healthy to go forward.

00:34:34.000 Here's something else that's pretty interesting.

00:34:35.000 William Briggs He actually wrote that flu, and we talked about this, flu pneumonia deaths are being misclassified as coronavirus deaths, and here's something that's really telling.

00:34:44.000 We've talked about this, how all of a sudden flu deaths went to zero.

00:34:47.000 Right.

00:34:48.000 Right, just disappeared.

00:34:49.000 Miraculous!

00:34:49.000 Miraculously went to zero, but then a lot of people said, well maybe that was because of social distancing, and you heard me say, hold on a second, this is happening before social distancing in the sense that those flu deaths and pneumonia deaths went down in February or early March, okay?

00:35:03.000 So that would have been before social distancing, even if it went all the way through mid-April.

00:35:06.000 Social distancing wouldn't have really kicked in until about now, just to be clear.

00:35:11.000 But the all-cause mortality death rate is significantly lower this year than last year. Yes, and

00:35:19.000 this is going back to January.

00:35:20.000 So what does that mean for a second? That means it's been trending down since January,

00:35:23.000 long before lockdowns began, and it's only been declining more. I think we can bring this up

00:35:27.000 here. This is from the William Briggs study. So that means all-cause mortality. What would that

00:35:32.000 mean? That would mean flu, pneumonia, heart attack, stroke, cancer.

00:35:36.000 Cancer.

00:35:38.000 All-cause mortality is lower.

00:35:40.000 Because if any of those other comorbidities in any other year, which would be—oh, this is a stroke death, this is a heart attack death, this is a death due to complications with diabetes, this is a death due to complications with hypertension—are all being listed as COVID deaths, just like all flu.

00:35:40.000 Why?

00:35:56.000 And pneumonia deaths are being listed as COVID deaths.

00:36:00.000 It doesn't make any sense that this year our overall mortality rate is significantly lower, and it is significantly lower across the board on the all-cause mortality rate, unless, like we saw in Pennsylvania where they took just 200 COVID deaths off the books.

00:36:17.000 Like you saw in New York on the flip side where they added 3,700 coronavirus deaths without being tested, by the way, they just assumed that it was present.

00:36:23.000 And I understand there's some complications here where, well, if someone has cancer and

00:36:27.000 they get, they're going through chemo and they're doing okay and then they get the flu,

00:36:30.000 well maybe the flu did kill them.

00:36:31.000 But there is a split, though, right?

00:36:33.000 It's not all of them will go on the register, will be registered as a flu death.

00:36:36.000 Typically, you go, well, hold on a second.

00:36:38.000 What was the more severe condition?

00:36:40.000 What was the condition that was more likely to kill someone?

00:36:42.000 Is it the chemo?

00:36:43.000 Is it the fact that this person has stage four melanoma?

00:36:46.000 Or the fact that this person has the flu?

00:36:48.000 No, what was going to kill them inevitably was the cancer.

00:36:50.000 So they look at those.

00:36:51.000 Our death rates in this country aren't all that accurate.

00:36:53.000 And when you look at these numbers now that show us, okay, coronavirus peaks at six weeks and goes down by eight weeks regardless of containment.

00:37:00.000 And then you look at the all-cause mortality rate being lower.

00:37:03.000 That is something that should concern a lot of people because I think these books I'm not a doctor.

00:37:10.000 I want to be very, very clear here.

00:37:11.000 here not offering medical advice but the books are cooked.

00:37:15.000 Yeah and it's not the doctors and nurses that are doing that it seems like the

00:37:18.000 guidance that they're being given is either intentionally or unintentionally juicing

00:37:22.000 up these numbers right from CDC or whoever whoever's putting out the

00:37:25.000 guidelines on how to track these things yeah and you ask yourself like if these

00:37:28.000 guys are pumping up the numbers why why are you doing that

00:37:31.000 And I think Briggs actually makes the point down there.

00:37:33.000 It's like, one of the possibilities is that their projections were so wrong, they're trying to nudge the numbers up a little bit.

00:37:39.000 See, we're not as dumb as you think we are with our projections, right?

00:37:42.000 And the other one is that it's just bad reporting, right?

00:37:44.000 They're just doing a poor job of really classifying what people are dying from, right?

00:37:49.000 I don't know which side it comes down on, but I don't think it's doctors and nurses that we should be frustrated.

00:37:53.000 You're not saying that either, but I think somebody needs to look into why are we counting No, but there also is a financial incentive right now to list a death as a coronavirus-related death.

00:38:02.000 If you look at some of the relief that's meant to go to hospitals, specifically some of it is allocated for coronavirus deaths.

00:38:07.000 And we can fact check that.

00:38:08.000 Reg can bring it up.

00:38:08.000 This is something that was in USA Today.

00:38:11.000 Yeah, you don't have to be a doctor to be able to do math.

00:38:14.000 Right, it's actually a good thing that people outside of the medical community are checking on these numbers and going, oh, this seems a little strange.

00:38:19.000 Yeah, right.

00:38:20.000 And the cool thing, too, about this graph, and the reason I say cool is because it's great news if the Israel Times report is correct, because it peaks at six and dies down at eight.

00:38:29.000 It was global.

00:38:30.000 They looked at all of the different countries that had different responses to this virus, even to South Korea, Taiwan, places like that, and they put it with some of the most hard-hit.

00:38:38.000 They used New York just as itself and not just the United States, and all of the graphs did that.

00:38:43.000 All of them.

00:38:44.000 Right.

00:38:44.000 Across the entire planet.

00:38:45.000 That was awesome.

00:38:46.000 It was a great, great thing, because hopefully it just burns itself out.

00:38:49.000 And that's the arc.

00:38:49.000 Right.

00:38:51.000 Well, listen, we know that it's killed by UV light.

00:38:53.000 It is.

00:38:54.000 We have the best sun.

00:38:55.000 The absolute best sun.

00:38:56.000 Oh, was that on a TV show?

00:38:57.000 Let me bring that up again real quick.

00:38:58.000 That's the overlay that, yeah, more patients, hospitals get paid more if patients are listed as COVID-19 on ventilators.

00:39:05.000 That's right, specifically on ventilators right now.

00:39:07.000 Oh, wow, yeah.

00:39:07.000 And none of these, what was it, the USS Comfort?

00:39:12.000 They just left.

00:39:15.000 The ship left New York.

00:39:17.000 They weren't even close to capacity with their beds.

00:39:19.000 Almost all of these hospitals that have been built up, they haven't been used at all.

00:39:23.000 Hospitals right now are furloughing and laying off workers.

00:39:25.000 They're not full.

00:39:26.000 They're not filled to capacity.

00:39:27.000 So this whole flatten the curve Well, we did it.

00:39:31.000 We may have flattened a curve that wasn't really going to happen because now we've destroyed an entire industry of healthcare workers.

00:39:38.000 And unfortunately, you do have to go to the doctors who are actually treating patients.

00:39:41.000 Listen, I'm not disrespecting Dr. Fauci at all.

00:39:45.000 He hasn't seen a patient in 20 years.

00:39:48.000 And the theoretical and the practical, what happens in the real world are very different things.

00:39:51.000 And when you look at doctors who are actually treating patients right now on a grand scale, there does seem to be a chasm between doctors who are, now don't just take doctors in Lenox Hill, don't just take doctors in New York City, but doctors even in California, doctors in Wyoming, doctors in Texas.

00:40:05.000 If you take what they are seeing and what is going on in their hospitals and compare it to the projections that you saw from the World Health Organization or what Dr. Fauci said was undeniable.

00:40:15.000 Here's the thing, if you look at the, there is no Denying right now.

00:40:19.000 Here's something about which there can be no disagreement.

00:40:22.000 It wouldn't have been humanly possible for the United States to have 2.5 million deaths.

00:40:25.000 It's not possible.

00:40:26.000 It's not possible understanding the death rates that we understand now.

00:40:30.000 It's not a possibility unless the entire population Consisting of 95-year-olds with diabetes and strict lung cancer.

00:40:38.000 It's not a possibility.

00:40:40.000 Well, going back to the sort of COVID hospital funding, most grants, most discoveries in science that are grant-based tend to happen right when the grant money is just about to run out.

00:40:53.000 Yeah.

00:40:53.000 Or at least, like, oh, we found something promising.

00:40:55.000 What are you saying, Wade?

00:40:56.000 I'm not tracking.

00:40:57.000 We might need a little more money to check into XYZ.

00:41:00.000 And so, yeah, there is a profit motive, and it's clear.

00:41:00.000 Right.

00:41:03.000 It's clear that it's being taken advantage of.

00:41:04.000 By the way, his view's a little skewed, because he actually gets money from his sugar daddy named Grant.

00:41:09.000 I do.

00:41:10.000 Love you, Grant.

00:41:10.000 And once the checks start running dry... Once he says the name.

00:41:12.000 Yeah, he doesn't have to do a whole lot.

00:41:14.000 You know, he just has to, like, dust the bookcase in a onesie.

00:41:17.000 Well, I think it's the unintended consequences of this and when they pass the CARES, what is it, the CARES Act that they did for unemployment?

00:41:24.000 There's PPP and then there's a CARES, so stop it.

00:41:29.000 It basically, what is it called, moral hazard, right?

00:41:31.000 You're trying to get people off of unemployment but you're paying them so much that there's no incentive for them to do The same thing can happen in hospital situations, lab studies, where you just incentivize some behavior and unfortunately it causes people to run that direction.

00:41:44.000 That very well could be the case in hospitals.

00:41:46.000 I don't know that it is.

00:41:47.000 I think they just suck at making predictions like this.

00:41:49.000 I think they're just not good.

00:41:50.000 Medicine necessarily moves so cautiously.

00:41:52.000 They were making predictions based on a 4-7% death rate.

00:41:55.000 But there were people like us from the beginning.

00:41:59.000 And by the way, it wasn't just based on a hunch.

00:42:01.000 It was based on other epidemiologists who were working on the ground.

00:42:04.000 We posted articles on the website where people were saying, this is far more prevalent than people realize.

00:42:09.000 The mortality rate is far lower.

00:42:10.000 These projections are incorrect.

00:42:12.000 Now we know that the skeptics, the contrarians, were right.

00:42:16.000 Let's be clear about that, because the skeptics, the contrarians, could be right on the idea that when the left tries to say, hey, they're just like the climate deniers, go, you know what?

00:42:25.000 Yep, the people who said there's no way we're gonna have 2.5 million dead in the United States, there's no way, no how, I want you to remember that and go, he's the same guy who's saying that the Kyoto Protocol won't curb emissions because we shouldn't trust China. 0.62

00:42:36.000 Yep, I'm that denier!

00:42:38.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:42:40.000 I'm that guy!

00:42:40.000 Put me in that category!

00:42:42.000 Yep, I said no way 2.5 million deaths, no way 5-7% death rate, it's horseshit, I'm the same guy saying Montreal, what is it, Montreal Agreement, Kyoto Protocol, now it's the Paris Accord, no, sorry, Coyote Protocol Paris Accord.

00:42:55.000 Yep, I'm the same denier.

00:42:57.000 Now, just like with COVID, I didn't say it was a hoax.

00:43:00.000 I was saying this is something that needs to be dealt with appropriately.

00:43:03.000 There needs to be the appropriate scale in relation to the threat.

00:43:06.000 That is exactly what we are saying about climate change.

00:43:09.000 There needs to be an equal and appropriate response to the scale of the threat and shutting down the world economy.

00:43:17.000 You know how difficult this has been, by the way?

00:43:19.000 You know how difficult this has been right now for everyone here?

00:43:21.000 We talk about the economy shutting it down.

00:43:23.000 What do you think would happen if neo-environmentalists had their way globally?

00:43:27.000 And these same people like AOC are saying, I think it's a great thing that oil is at a net negative.

00:43:32.000 If these people had their way, what you're experiencing right now is actually child's play compared to what they would experience in the third world with the Green New Deal or the Kyoto Protocol actually being signed. 0.54

00:43:41.000 Sorry, my bad Paris Accord.

00:43:42.000 I keep forgetting what it is.

00:43:43.000 It just keeps changing names.

00:43:44.000 Let alone in the new world.

00:43:47.000 You've been thrust out into the cold that AOC knows!

00:43:51.000 You cannot imagine what would happen.

00:43:53.000 So think, coronavirus, the leftist response, what happened to the economy, now apply that to the entire globe, that is the Paris Agreement.

00:44:02.000 Put us all in the same boat!

00:44:04.000 Yeah, we all know that the people who have made these bad predictions, who have been proved wrong publicly, are going to be around when there is some kind of second wave, or if there's some second wave, and they're going to be asked the same things.

00:44:16.000 They're not going to lose their jobs.

00:44:17.000 I think that's probably one of the most tragic things about this whole deception, is that it could happen again by the same people to the same audience.

00:44:26.000 We have to hold these people accountable.

00:44:27.000 Remember their names, and when they pop up again on your screen, remember, that's the guy who said it wrong.

00:44:31.000 This is a perfect example of they're playing with somebody else's money.

00:44:34.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:44:36.000 Let's say someone here said, all right, listen, these are our projections for the profits for Ladderworth Crowder.

00:44:40.000 And we said, OK, all right, we're going to hire some new people.

00:44:42.000 We're going to make sure that we bring Quarter Black Garrett up. 1.00

00:44:44.000 OK, we'll pay people a little bit more.

00:44:46.000 We're going to get some health insurance going on here as opposed to a health sharing program.

00:44:49.000 We're going to be, OK, good.

00:44:50.000 And then someone goes, oh, wait, sorry, I was off by how much?

00:44:53.000 Well, you're actually making 90% less profit.

00:44:56.000 Oh! 0.60

00:44:57.000 You're my guy who was supposed to project, so you're fired.

00:45:00.000 But instead, someone who says 2.5 million deaths, which, by the way, could not have possibly been decreased by social distancing.

00:45:07.000 We know that now.

00:45:08.000 It's not because of social distancing.

00:45:09.000 It's because your numbers were wrong.

00:45:11.000 And now we're looking at under 60,000 deaths.

00:45:13.000 You were off by it.

00:45:14.000 What's the percentage on that?

00:45:16.000 I mean, it's astronomical.

00:45:18.000 Astronomical.

00:45:18.000 I can't put a percentage on it because I'm not a math Asian.

00:45:21.000 He's not here today.

00:45:22.000 But that being said, it should be, oh, you're fired.

00:45:27.000 But they're playing with our money.

00:45:28.000 Our businesses are shut down.

00:45:30.000 Not Fauci's, not AOC's.

00:45:33.000 How about we put a pay freeze on everyone in the government right now? 0.98

00:45:37.000 Senators, Congressmen.

00:45:38.000 How about that?

00:45:38.000 How about a pay freeze?

00:45:39.000 How about they experience the same kind of freeze that we do?

00:45:41.000 Okay, you know what?

00:45:42.000 You get $1,200 a month.

00:45:43.000 Ooh, nice.

00:45:45.000 I like that.

00:45:46.000 I think this is also the lesson for the general public is that this is the playbook, right?

00:45:50.000 Next time something comes around, it doesn't have to be a global pandemic that they use, right?

00:45:54.000 If government is bent on overreaching and growing, which is pretty much the only thing that government does, They can use the same thing and say, well, we have this threat called climate change that's going to kill 100,000 people this year, 200,000 next year.

00:46:06.000 We have to forcibly close things down and make everybody do their part to avoid this catastrophic thing.

00:46:13.000 It's the exact same thing.

00:46:14.000 They can come out and say the exact same thing about climate change.

00:46:16.000 I hate to interrupt you, I have to do a live read here for a sponsor.

00:46:19.000 Of course, a wonderful sponsor is Black Rifle.

00:47:11.000 Okay, hold on a second.

00:47:13.000 Hit me with a couple of chats, Gerbils.

00:47:15.000 There we go.

00:47:16.000 Now I'm on.

00:47:17.000 So this one comes from Jay.

00:47:19.000 What are your thoughts of Twitter and YouTube forcing companies to take down their videos on UV light studies and devices they're developing to combat COVID-19?

00:47:30.000 Is that a trick question?

00:47:31.000 What do you think?

00:47:33.000 Have you been watching the show?

00:47:35.000 Just repeat the question back to him.

00:47:36.000 Okay, here's one thing that I will say.

00:47:38.000 I have to be very, very careful because I don't want to provide any misinformation.

00:47:41.000 That being said, everyone here, you all know that we have a protocol that was given to us by a doctor with supplements that we take to try and protect ourselves and improve our immune system as best as possible.

00:47:51.000 Dr. Phil, he's great.

00:47:52.000 Yes, he's great.

00:47:53.000 Now, I don't want to dispense any medical advice, but I will say this.

00:47:56.000 Research coronavirus, go search what receptors they attack, look at the mechanism of action, and see if there are any supplements out there that could potentially help you with it.

00:48:04.000 PubMed is a great portal.

00:48:06.000 It's a great resource for you and talk with your doctor.

00:48:09.000 There are things out there, but I can't say it at the risk of being banned.

00:48:12.000 Now, that being said, UV light, blood irradiation, which is where you would actually irradiate some blood with UV light and then re-inject it into the body, so it gets carried around the entire bloodstream, is, I think it was referred to as the antibiotic Time Forgot.

00:48:25.000 So before antibiotics, they used this.

00:48:26.000 There are clinical studies that have shown that it works.

00:48:29.000 In patients with hepatitis C, certain viruses.

00:48:32.000 It reaches the clinical threshold for reducing the viral load.

00:48:35.000 Now, and that's been done with many different viruses, and I'm not exactly sure infections entirely.

00:48:41.000 We haven't done it on coronavirus.

00:48:43.000 But the idea that getting UV light in any way into someone's blood as an effective mechanism of killing some kind of a pathogen is not new, it's not novel, and it's certainly not quackery.

00:48:56.000 So the fact, now I'll tell you what is Quackery.

00:48:59.000 Let me be clear.

00:49:01.000 It's not wrong. 0.84

00:49:02.000 Blood irradiation has been a technique that has been used quite a bit for a very long time.

00:49:08.000 So it's not incorrect.

00:49:09.000 I'll tell you what is incorrect.

00:49:11.000 That coronavirus cannot be transmitted through human-to-human contact, which is what the World Health Organization tweeted out.

00:49:18.000 So here's the problem.

00:49:19.000 If we have to rely on the World Health Organization, and YouTube and Google and Facebook are going to be the arbiters of truth, and effectively with coronavirus, the World Health Organization is going to be their Snopes or their Washington Post, and they have verifiably gotten it wrong one, two, three, four times.

00:49:34.000 No doubt!

00:49:35.000 No doubt about it!

00:49:35.000 They've gotten it wrong.

00:49:37.000 That's a scary thing.

00:49:38.000 Because we have to trust the authorities, who we know are wrong, and their minions, their lackeys, their toadies won't allow us to get out any other information in the face of the World Health Organization.

00:49:49.000 What do you do with that?

00:49:50.000 This is scary.

00:49:51.000 Let me just say one other thing.

00:49:52.000 One other thing that really, really scares me here.

00:49:54.000 With radio, okay?

00:49:56.000 And I think we have this.

00:49:57.000 We can bring it up as an overlay.

00:49:58.000 Reg can send it to you.

00:49:59.000 I got a complaint from someone in Germany that it was a violation of German law.

00:50:02.000 Oh, really?

00:50:03.000 So now we have China, the government of China, the government of Pakistan, and I don't know if this was the government of Germany.

00:50:08.000 But back with radio, we used to have to deal with the FCC.

00:50:11.000 Okay.

00:50:12.000 And it was kind of a game of cat and mouse where you could say, okay, crap head, but

00:50:16.000 you can't say I took a crap.

00:50:17.000 Silly rules, but we sort of would play and, you know, I'd dance up to the line when I

00:50:20.000 was syndicated on radio.

00:50:21.000 And we thought, man, the beauty of new media is we won't have those kinds of censors anymore.

00:50:25.000 We won't have to worry about the FCC.

00:50:26.000 But at least with the FCC, you knew who your enemy was at that point.

00:50:29.000 Now it's actually far worse because you are censored by the outrage mob.

00:50:34.000 Cancel culture just means society at large is the new FCC and they are far more stringent

00:50:39.000 because you could get away with all kinds of jokes that might be offensive that the

00:50:42.000 FCC didn't care about as long as you didn't say the naughty words.

00:50:46.000 And the problem now too, I would compare that we've always been really concerned about our

00:50:49.000 rights being taken away by government.

00:50:52.000 Rightfully so, because historically, you look at the Church of England, historically, you look at the Romans, you look at the Greeks, you look at the Ottomans, you look at governments.

00:50:59.000 Those were the most powerful entities that had the ability to take away your rights.

00:51:04.000 But now I see, just like with radio and the FCC, the mob is actually far more dangerous.

00:51:09.000 What's far scarier to me than the government's ability to take away your rights is the mob's demand that they do so.

00:51:16.000 Now I'm not saying that all these people are Nazis.

00:51:18.000 I want to be really clear.

00:51:19.000 When we often say, how could that happen?

00:51:22.000 How could World War II, how could the Holocaust happen? 0.89

00:51:25.000 Well, hold on a second.

00:51:26.000 Is it that crazy of a leap to go from, Officer!

00:51:29.000 Officer!

00:51:30.000 There's a mom with her son on the swing!

00:51:31.000 Get her! 1.00

00:51:32.000 Take her to jail! 1.00

00:51:33.000 Take her at gunpoint to jail! 0.99

00:51:35.000 Is it that far of a leap from that to, Uden!

00:51:38.000 Officer!

00:51:38.000 Jew!

00:51:39.000 Someone is in a park with their child and you are going to call the cops on them?

00:51:39.000 Jew!

00:51:45.000 That's what's scary to me now.

00:51:46.000 Not that the government does it, but that people demand it.

00:51:49.000 The power of the mob is intensely terrifying to me.

00:51:52.000 It is, and you have to make sure that if you're somebody out there, you have to speak against those kind of things, right?

00:51:57.000 You don't just sit by to the person who called the police and just let them get away with it.

00:52:01.000 That's socially not okay.

00:52:03.000 I don't care if you're trying to stop what you think is a 10% killer pandemic, okay?

00:52:08.000 We have rights, we have liberty, and if we give that up in this case, it's going to be taken from us forcibly later on down the road for some other Well, the point is it's being taken right now by a mob of people.

00:52:17.000 It is.

00:52:18.000 There are Karen's everywhere.

00:52:18.000 Bring that up.

00:52:20.000 Yeah, so this was the tweet.

00:52:21.000 Can you read the tweet?

00:52:22.000 I can't exactly see what my tweet was, but this is an official complaint from someone in Germany.

00:52:27.000 Yeah, it says, hello, we have received a complaint regarding your account at S Crowder for the following content.

00:52:33.000 Uh, the tweet, yeah.

00:52:34.000 The tweet text is, it's becoming clear that, it's becoming clear that scarier than the government's ability to take away your rights is the power of the mob to demand it.

00:52:42.000 Okay, and that was, they said it wasn't in violation with German law, but typically that usually comes from an official when they recognize, when they actually say it's not in violation of the law of this country, which by the way, Twitter, you can bring that down, is not a good enough standard, Twitter.

00:52:55.000 I don't give a shit if it's a violation of German law, Chinese law, Pakistani law.

00:52:59.000 You shouldn't be abiding by their laws.

00:53:01.000 You should be abiding by the laws of the country that you founded.

00:53:04.000 Because if your goal is to open up democracy and dialogue for everyone, you can't be beholden to China's law because guess what?

00:53:11.000 They're murdering Hong Kong protesters, okay?

00:53:14.000 Guess what?

00:53:15.000 They're silencing and disappearing at whistleblowers.

00:53:18.000 It's not enough to hide behind the law.

00:53:20.000 You don't get to do that.

00:53:21.000 You're an American company.

00:53:23.000 That's the law you obey, dummies.

00:53:26.000 Whether it's the FCC or the mob or just the general culture, it doesn't have any power if it can't get inside your head.

00:53:33.000 So the only power that we have right now is just to not let that culture pull us.

00:53:38.000 So the censorship culture or the culture of self-censorship where you're constantly having to second-guess yourself or self-censor yourself, that's the culture and you don't have to let that in your head.

00:53:48.000 Right.

00:53:48.000 Well, and a lot of the show does that.

00:53:49.000 A lot of the show pushes back on the restrictions, right?

00:53:52.000 I think there's sometimes where we do stuff that we wouldn't otherwise do because we're pushing back against these restrictions, going, no!

00:53:57.000 I wouldn't necessarily always do this, but you said I can't.

00:54:00.000 You don't have the power to say that, so guess what?

00:54:01.000 I'm going to do an apology video of every offensive thing.

00:54:03.000 I'm not touching you.

00:54:04.000 You know what I mean?

00:54:05.000 Exactly!

00:54:05.000 I'm not touching you.

00:54:06.000 But you're pushing back on the restrictions.

00:54:07.000 And I'm sorry, guys.

00:54:08.000 I sincerely apologize that I said, no way there's 2.5 million dead.

00:54:13.000 I apologize that I said that several months ago and never walked it back.

00:54:16.000 I am sorry.

00:54:17.000 I am deeply sorry.

00:54:19.000 I know how troubled you are.

00:54:23.000 Here's another one.

00:54:24.000 Speaking of which, let's get to something and then we'll have Pops Crowder with a great story from his days back in Detroit.

00:54:29.000 But I love this.

00:54:31.000 It's not necessarily something that you have to know this morning, but I want you to take it, put it in your chest pocket, and take it with you for all your days.

00:54:39.000 Until Wednesday, where we have another story like this for you.

00:54:41.000 Jeff Goldblum was on that.

00:54:42.000 Is this show, is it RuPaul's Drag Race?

00:54:45.000 If it's not that, then it's some version of RuPaul.

00:54:48.000 It's some kind of a drag queen. 1.00

00:54:50.000 I don't really know what a drag queen is anymore, honestly, when you consider that transgender, 90% of them don't get the bottom surgery. 1.00

00:54:58.000 They don't get the top surgery.

00:54:59.000 They don't go through hormone replacement.

00:55:01.000 They just identify as a woman and they dress like a woman. 0.92

00:55:03.000 A drag queen just dresses like a woman. 1.00

00:55:03.000 What's the category? 1.00

00:55:05.000 So I don't know.

00:55:06.000 How am I supposed to know?

00:55:07.000 Self-identity, man.

00:55:09.000 And I have a story about a drag queen, actually, at a burlesque show with my wife.

00:55:13.000 I'll tell that after.

00:55:17.000 I'll tell it now.

00:55:18.000 Edge of my seat, please!

00:55:20.000 By the way, burlesque dancers... You can't say that and not tell the story!

00:55:22.000 I will tell you the story.

00:55:23.000 Burlesque dancers.

00:55:24.000 Hold on a second.

00:55:25.000 Who says no evidence so far that contracting coronavirus makes you immune to second infection?

00:55:28.000 Oh, jeez.

00:55:29.000 Well, we don't know that.

00:55:29.000 Okay.

00:55:30.000 That's true.

00:55:30.000 But we do know that for at least a couple of months... Let me ask this question.

00:55:33.000 Historically, does it typically mean that you have a better chance of fighting off a second wave of the virus?

00:55:37.000 It means a better chance.

00:55:38.000 That's not true with all viruses.

00:55:39.000 I know, but they had to phrase it in the worst possible way.

00:55:40.000 Yeah, I know.

00:55:41.000 Who is a bunch of corrupt liars and YouTube, come at me. 1.00

00:55:46.000 I think we might go a little late today, but my wife's idea was Valentine's Day when we were in Grand Rapids, Michigan to go to a burlesque show.

00:55:54.000 Imagine my surprise.

00:55:54.000 Oh.

00:55:55.000 Now, I found out that burlesque show, it's basically, there's strippers who didn't make the cut.

00:56:00.000 Oh.

00:56:00.000 It's strippers with too many tattoos and it's like, it's rockabilly strippers.

00:56:06.000 So, you know, they put on a little bit of Tiger Army and go out there and shake whatever's there and, you know, no one's the wiser because it's alternative. 0.92

00:56:14.000 So, anyway, it was really gross.

00:56:16.000 It's art.

00:56:16.000 And there was unfortunately this lady who was a burlesque and she had nipple pasties, pasties, what do you call, pasties?

00:56:22.000 She had them on and it was really unfortunate because she was one of those very overweight women who managed to not have any In other words, she had the body of a fat woman, but the chest of Kevin James. 0.98

00:56:22.000 I don't know. 0.98

00:56:34.000 And so it couldn't be less titillating.

00:56:38.000 It was just really, really unfortunate.

00:56:40.000 So this is going on, and I'm like, all right, for the last show.

00:56:43.000 And then all of a sudden, they bring out whatever.

00:56:45.000 Desiree, these stupid names that all these drag queens have. 1.00

00:56:48.000 Desiree Rollingstone.

00:56:51.000 And it's this 6'4", looking black linebacker with clown makeup. 0.88

00:56:58.000 This person may not be transgender.

00:56:59.000 It was just a burlesque show and it's a drag dance. 0.99

00:57:01.000 Start singing, like, lip-syncing something.

00:57:03.000 I don't even remember what it was, because I just didn't want anything to do with it.

00:57:06.000 And then takes his little, uh, what do you call this?

00:57:08.000 Boa? 0.98

00:57:09.000 Boa! 0.98

00:57:10.000 I knew you'd know that.

00:57:10.000 There you go.

00:57:11.000 So, boa.

00:57:12.000 and starts going out into the audience.

00:57:12.000 Oh no.

00:57:14.000 Oh no.

00:57:15.000 And makes a beeline for me. 0.86

00:57:18.000 Now my wife and at the time a couple of friends were there and they're laughing, they think

00:57:23.000 this is really funny.

00:57:24.000 And to the point like the sort of drag queen could smell it on me like oh this is going 0.98

00:57:28.000 to be funny I'm going to loosen him up.

00:57:30.000 But it ended very quickly because I didn't give a face like oh I'm shy.

00:57:33.000 This person came up with the drag queen rhinestone, whatever, Desiree Rhinestone I think might have been the name. 1.00

00:57:38.000 Something along those lines.

00:57:39.000 Don't Google this.

00:57:40.000 It could have been desirable jewel, I don't know.

00:57:44.000 Topaz.

00:57:45.000 Oh, topaz, yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:57:48.000 It's too late.

00:57:49.000 You know, take your pick.

00:57:50.000 It's already out.

00:57:51.000 But comes out and starts, you know, doing the, happy birthday, Mr. President, to me.

00:57:55.000 But it stops.

00:57:56.000 And I'll tell you exactly why.

00:57:57.000 This person could read on my face.

00:57:59.000 And the whole room got uncomfortable.

00:58:01.000 It wasn't like this.

00:58:02.000 You know, this person comes out with a bow and me, you know, something like this, like, oh.

00:58:06.000 No.

00:58:07.000 What happened was this person made a beeline to me.

00:58:10.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:58:11.000 Happy birthday.

00:58:12.000 Starts pointing at me.

00:58:13.000 And the audience starts going, what?

00:58:14.000 And they're clapping.

00:58:16.000 But my face, once this Desiree rhinestone came up, my face wasn't like, my face was like this, apparently my wife described it afterwards, I was... This shit.

00:58:29.000 Like, so disgusted.

00:58:31.000 Why am I here?

00:58:32.000 He just did this, like, on a trail to my shoulder and went on to the next guy.

00:58:36.000 I'm talking about the one behind you.

00:58:38.000 My wife said it was only funny because the whole audience was like, woo!

00:58:45.000 Go on to the next one!

00:58:46.000 There could be a hate crime.

00:58:47.000 I've seen you walk out of movies for far less, sir.

00:58:51.000 You should have gotten up and left.

00:58:52.000 So that was my experience with a drag queen story time. 0.74

00:58:55.000 But this was a drag... They read Where the Wild Things Are.

00:58:57.000 sorry we've been all sleeping a big pile. Oh that's disgusting. So...

00:59:06.000 So Jeff Goldblum was on some kind of a drag queen show.

00:59:10.000 I don't know if it was RuPaul or what.

00:59:11.000 I don't want to get it wrong and offend the drag queen community, which I understand is different from the transgender community.

00:59:16.000 Maybe.

00:59:16.000 But this spurred outrage from people for being Islamophobic, and I just—it is a combination of wondrous things.

00:59:26.000 Roll clip.

00:59:27.000 Are you religious, may I ask?

00:59:29.000 I'm not, and to be honest, this outfit really represents the importance that visibility for people of religious minorities need to have in this country.

00:59:38.000 Isn't this an interesting wrinkle, though?

00:59:40.000 Is there something in that religion that is anti-homosexuality and anti-woman?

00:59:49.000 Does that complicate the issue?

00:59:51.000 I'm just raising it, thinking out loud, and maybe being stupid, but what do you think?

00:59:55.000 No, no, I think, you know, drag has always shaken the tree, so to speak, and there are so many different layers to this presentation, and if it was ever going to be done, this is the stage to do it.

01:00:06.000 It's a complex issue.

01:00:08.000 I have my own misgivings about the way that LGBT people are treated in the Middle East, and at the same time, I am one.

01:00:15.000 Well, no, you're one here.

01:00:16.000 Over there, you'd just be dead.

01:00:20.000 He says that like he's coming out, like, yeah, we know.

01:00:23.000 Anyway, you're also in whiteface, so, okay? 0.95

01:00:27.000 Don't think that just because you toss on a dress and a couple of sparkles that you get to appropriate my non-existent culture, because let's be honest, I don't really have one.

01:00:36.000 I just love Jeff Goldblum.

01:00:38.000 Oh, and isn't this an interesting wrinkle?

01:00:43.000 And it seems that you've had to use some double-sided tape because a penis finds a way.

01:00:51.000 He doesn't even realize that he's stepping into the Twitter hate mob.

01:00:56.000 It's entirely logical.

01:00:59.000 It's a reasonable question.

01:01:01.000 No one would have batted an eye if this person came out and said, I'm Mormon.

01:01:03.000 They would be like, oh, well, how does that work when you're part of a very conservative... It's not Islamophobic.

01:01:11.000 It's completely accurate.

01:01:12.000 It's Islam-accurate, right? 1.00

01:01:15.000 It's exactly what their religion would do to this person if they were in that country. 0.98

01:01:18.000 He's like, huh.

01:01:19.000 Well, let me be really clear.

01:01:20.000 Some fast facts here.

01:01:22.000 Obviously, like the Bible, the Quran condemns people of Sodom for their homosexuality. 0.51

01:01:26.000 So I want to be really clear.

01:01:27.000 Now, that's a little bit different that the Bible.

01:01:29.000 The Quran doesn't outline specific punishment, but we've talked about this before.

01:01:32.000 You look at various Hadiths.

01:01:33.000 Penalties for homosexuality ranging from beatings, to life imprisonment, to being thrown from buildings.

01:01:38.000 They'll beat the gay out of you, they think. 1.00

01:01:40.000 Yes.

01:01:41.000 Here's another one.

01:01:41.000 Saudi Arabia recently just beheaded five men for being gay.

01:01:46.000 And Iran and Yemen also hold homosexuality is punishable by death.

01:01:51.000 So you can find the most red state you can imagine.

01:01:54.000 Go on down to Idaho and find me someone there who's going to throw five gay men off of rooftops. 1.00

01:02:00.000 That's a slow week.

01:02:03.000 It's a big wrinkle.

01:02:04.000 But you're mad with Jeff Goldblum for bringing it up.

01:02:06.000 Yeah.

01:02:07.000 When he says, huh.

01:02:07.000 He didn't even actually say it.

01:02:09.000 Isn't this an interesting wrinkle?

01:02:10.000 He just asked the question, like, are you practicing in this religion at all?

01:02:14.000 And he's like, huh, that's really interesting that they would do that.

01:02:17.000 He just inquisitively asked the question.

01:02:18.000 I'm surprised that you're not dead.

01:02:22.000 How did you make it out?

01:02:23.000 Well, for some reason it reminds me of the—so there's some UK Democrat—Liberal Democrat politician doing fasting during Ramadan.

01:02:33.000 So it's like, what does this person on RuPaul's Drag Race and the politician fasting during Ramadan—what do they think they're doing?

01:02:40.000 Is this helping them in some way?

01:02:42.000 Is this helping Muslims? 1.00

01:02:43.000 Identifying with culture?

01:02:44.000 Really, they're just taking on the religion and acting like it's some kind of comment?

01:02:48.000 Yeah, well, I would have a lot more respect if they would just come out and say, yeah, it's pretty much a hellhole over there right now.

01:02:48.000 Right.

01:02:53.000 They kill anybody they think might be gay.

01:02:56.000 Well, this is also the idea of these people are, and these people, I mean the LGBTQAIP community, are bullies. 0.99

01:03:01.000 Now, what do I mean?

01:03:02.000 They pick a fight where they know someone can't fight back.

01:03:05.000 They put on an American flag burka with rhinestones as a drag queen slash transgender, something they would never dream of doing from their homeland that they identify with as a religious minority or from the Middle East. 1.00

01:03:18.000 They do it here in the United States so that they can belittle, character assassinate, denigrate people like Jeff Goldblum for bringing up a totally fair question.

01:03:27.000 That's a bully!

01:03:28.000 They know that they have the pulpit here.

01:03:29.000 They are doing something.

01:03:30.000 They would never punch up and do this in the Middle East.

01:03:33.000 They would never go and do that in Iran or Yemen or Saudi Arabia.

01:03:36.000 But they'll do it here in the United States and bring the Twitter mob with them against Jeff Goldblum because why?

01:03:41.000 They know that there are no repercussions for it.

01:03:43.000 They know that there's no accountability for it.

01:03:45.000 You go do this.

01:03:46.000 Go do this in the public square right now, in Palestine, in Yemen, in Saudi Arabia, in Pakistan.

01:03:51.000 Hell, you know what?

01:03:52.000 Do it in Qatar.

01:03:53.000 See how it ends up for you.

01:03:54.000 Just record it for us, please.

01:03:56.000 Jeff Goldblum gives us something like reason in this whole scenario.

01:04:00.000 And then the person, the guy in the burqa is just like, you know what? 0.99

01:04:04.000 I had my stupid thing I wanted to do.

01:04:05.000 Jeff Goldblum, isn't that good enough for you?

01:04:08.000 Can I just do my stupid thing?

01:04:09.000 He doesn't know what he's doing.

01:04:11.000 He doesn't know why he's doing what he's doing.

01:04:13.000 The guy said, you know, I don't really like how they're treated.

01:04:17.000 Why don't you think about that?

01:04:18.000 It seems like nobody was offended.

01:04:20.000 Jeff Goldblum felt like he was wading into really unsettled waters and was like, I don't know, am I being stupid here?

01:04:24.000 And they're like, no, no, no, you're not.

01:04:26.000 But now the Twitter outrage mob is like, no, we are offended for this person, even though they aren't.

01:04:30.000 We're reporting a crime that was committed against them that they don't even think happened.

01:04:33.000 Right.

01:04:34.000 It doesn't make any sense to me why this is a thing.

01:04:36.000 Oh, it makes perfect sense to me.

01:04:39.000 I just thought that was... I know we have to offer... I just wanted you to see that clip.

01:04:43.000 The whole setup was for the clip.

01:04:46.000 Because you can see he starts off thinking like, oh, I'm a clever guy.

01:04:49.000 This is insightful.

01:04:50.000 And then as he's talking, he immediately wishes he can take it back.

01:04:52.000 Oh, isn't this a clever wrinkle here?

01:04:56.000 No, no, no.

01:04:57.000 I mean, maybe I'm stupid.

01:05:02.000 Scrotum?

01:05:03.000 You have a wrinkly scrotum?

01:05:04.000 No.

01:05:06.000 This is not gonna end well.

01:05:07.000 It's been real.

01:05:08.000 Has this already been posted on Twitter?

01:05:10.000 It has.

01:05:11.000 Okay.

01:05:12.000 Yeah, so he thinks he's being woke, but he's not woke enough for everybody.

01:05:15.000 When you get woked in the woke...

01:05:17.000 Which is amazing.

01:05:18.000 He's not woke enough in trying to bring up the idea.

01:05:22.000 He's trying to protect people like that from being crucified.

01:05:24.000 Right, yeah.

01:05:25.000 It's like a sport over there.

01:05:27.000 You can hit like five bullseyes in a row.

01:05:29.000 People work out to throw people off of a building.

01:05:30.000 They decapitate them before the soccer game as a warm-up act.

01:05:34.000 Yes!

01:05:35.000 How do you get the crab going?

01:05:36.000 That's the middler.

01:05:38.000 The MC comes out with their national anthem.

01:05:42.000 I don't know exactly what it is.

01:05:43.000 And then the middler is with a sickle.

01:05:47.000 Now on to the real show.

01:05:48.000 Soccer.

01:05:51.000 Shut up, Wade!

01:05:52.000 At halftime, if they kick the drag queen's head into the net, they get a free Slurpee. 1.00

01:05:58.000 One dollar off on hot dogs, everybody.

01:06:00.000 And Shaq always misses those drag queen head penalty kicks. 1.00

01:07:08.000 anything good or not. Geez how the technology works. I should be. Wow. This is like showing your parents how to

01:07:15.000 use an iPhone for the first time right. Headphones you can hear.

01:07:19.000 Now you push the button, son, right?

01:07:21.000 Before we go into a story with my father, do we have one more chat?

01:07:23.000 Maybe my dad can answer one, too.

01:07:26.000 Yeah, we got one more chat.

01:07:29.000 You can't say that on YouTube, but you might need to angle that more toward you, Darren.

01:07:33.000 The audio guy's right here.

01:07:36.000 This is my fault.

01:07:37.000 He's right there, but it's really your fault.

01:07:40.000 Talk into where the microphone is!

01:07:42.000 Oh, I see how that works.

01:07:43.000 Did we ask Bernie Sanders on the show, or what?

01:07:45.000 The closer it gets, the more you can hear.

01:07:47.000 Why'd I stop?

01:07:47.000 Huh?

01:07:48.000 You played Joe Biden in sketches.

01:07:50.000 You aren't actually.

01:07:51.000 That's true.

01:07:52.000 Alright, let's see a chat here.

01:07:53.000 I'm feeling uncomfortable.

01:07:54.000 All right, so this one comes to us from Tower Cube.

01:07:57.000 Tower Cube.

01:07:58.000 Good morning, Mukla Dalma.

01:07:59.000 Oh, you paused on that one.

01:08:00.000 My question for you is simple.

01:08:01.000 What's going to happen in North Korea now that Kim Jong-un is MIA?

01:08:04.000 How does this affect the West?

01:08:06.000 I don't really know that it affects the West.

01:08:07.000 What concerns me is, I will say this, because of sort of the, I guess, sort of the, what I'm trying to think.

01:08:15.000 The turbulent waters with China, shall we say?

01:08:18.000 And their relationship with North Korea.

01:08:20.000 It does worry me that this is happening right now.

01:08:23.000 But obviously, I was elated to hear that Kim Jong-un is actually the most alive and well person.

01:08:27.000 Yes, he is.

01:08:28.000 There is.

01:08:29.000 That's what they released.

01:08:31.000 I don't know who's following up behind him, but I do know the doctor that the Japanese newspaper said called him obese.

01:08:35.000 Didn't you say his sister is worse?

01:08:37.000 Isn't that the deal?

01:08:38.000 She might actually... 1.00

01:08:39.000 That's what I've heard.

01:08:40.000 I don't know who's following up behind him, but I do know the doctor that the Japanese

01:08:43.000 newspaper said called him obese.

01:08:45.000 He's done.

01:08:46.000 Oh.

01:08:47.000 Didn't know how to operate on obese men.

01:08:48.000 Whoops.

01:08:49.000 That guy's a little nervous.

01:08:50.000 They said he's food and nervous.

01:08:51.000 All that stuff.

01:08:52.000 Yeah.

01:08:53.000 Yeah.

01:08:54.000 All that Adipose stuff.

01:08:55.000 Well, it seems to me I can put in a stint if I can't find it.

01:09:00.000 The deity is very, very fat.

01:09:04.000 There's so much of Dear Leader.

01:09:05.000 I haven't operated on pork cadavers since my residency, so now it's almost like having a frog with a cotton ball.

01:09:13.000 It's been a long time.

01:09:14.000 Long time since I've done this.

01:09:16.000 But I'm sure he's dead, and you know, he's fat.

01:09:19.000 Very fat.

01:09:20.000 I've heard that his sister might step in, which she's apparently terrified.

01:09:23.000 He was worse than his father.

01:09:24.000 Yeah, he was worse than his father.

01:09:26.000 He didn't sound worse than his father initially, though.

01:09:27.000 Like, everybody thought, alright, maybe he's gonna be a little more moderate.

01:09:29.000 No, he wanted the fame.

01:09:30.000 He killed the uncle.

01:09:31.000 His dad wanted to be, you know, a little more... His dad wanted to be Suge Knight, and he wanted to be, like, Tupac.

01:09:36.000 Yeah.

01:09:37.000 That's what he wanted.

01:09:38.000 Yeah.

01:09:39.000 Hear a little ghetto gospel, those who will to follow me. 0.97

01:09:39.000 We all understand. 0.97

01:09:42.000 Suge Knight's way worse.

01:09:44.000 Most welcome with my hands.

01:09:44.000 This is a reference.

01:09:46.000 This is a reference for our audience.

01:09:48.000 Are these famous people?

01:09:51.000 He wanted to pull the strings behind the scenes, his dad.

01:09:54.000 And Kim Jong-un wanted the notoriety, so he was willing to try and be more brutal and develop a reputation.

01:09:59.000 And then if, potentially, let's say his sister, then you have a girl in North Korea who's trying to prove something, and she has a lot to prove because they're treating her like crap.

01:10:07.000 Well, I mean, does she like Dennis Rodman as well?

01:10:10.000 I have no idea.

01:10:11.000 I really hope so.

01:10:12.000 Guarantee you he'd take a crack at her. 0.99

01:10:14.000 He probably has.

01:10:16.000 Wow.

01:10:16.000 That's why he went over there in the first place.

01:10:18.000 I mean, come on, let's be honest.

01:10:20.000 You think this guy wouldn't like to have an oon on his bedpost as a notch? 1.00

01:10:23.000 You're talking about a guy who has Carmen Electra, Vivia A. Fox, and Whoopi Goldberg.

01:10:28.000 This is not a guy who discriminates.

01:10:29.000 It's a wide swath there.

01:10:31.000 Madonna.

01:10:32.000 Yeah, you know what, though?

01:10:33.000 I don't know how much... Whoopi.

01:10:35.000 You go Carmen Electra to Whoopi.

01:10:36.000 Maybe he just did to see if he could.

01:10:38.000 The list starts to fall off a little bit.

01:10:40.000 I get, like, not having a type.

01:10:42.000 Look, man, I was in a slump.

01:10:45.000 We all got them times, you know?

01:10:46.000 You know, it was hard, it was tough, man.

01:10:50.000 How Rodman got his groove back.

01:10:53.000 This is like Cisdirect era whoopee, right?

01:10:56.000 Well, I don't know that that helps.

01:10:57.000 I don't know if it's free or... I don't know, but gosh.

01:10:59.000 I'm trying to help the guy.

01:11:00.000 Think about that for a second.

01:11:02.000 Detective Rex?

01:11:02.000 You're one of the best basketball players of all time and you're getting Ted Danson's sloppy seconds.

01:11:09.000 So we do have to get going.

01:11:09.000 Cheers!

01:11:13.000 We will see you obviously tonight.

01:11:16.000 We'll see you tonight.

01:11:17.000 What do we have?

01:11:17.000 We have Life Advice tonight, and then of course tomorrow we have a full, just a full normal show.

01:11:21.000 Dave Rubin's gonna be on the show.

01:11:23.000 And then more Good Morning Mud Club.

01:11:24.000 But Papa Crowder, you know, people have been saying they want to hear some of your stories, and I kind of touched upon this briefly before, but I wanted you to be able to tell it.

01:11:31.000 So first off, set the stage for people who don't know. 0.64

01:11:34.000 You were born, you were raised in Detroit.

01:11:38.000 Born in California, raised in Detroit.

01:11:41.000 Born in California on an Air Force base, came to Detroit before I even knew it.

01:11:46.000 So a year, two years?

01:11:47.000 A year.

01:11:48.000 And was it Detroit?

01:11:48.000 Was it Mount Pleasant?

01:11:49.000 No, not a suburb.

01:11:54.000 The D. The middle of hell.

01:11:57.000 But wait, before I go through this, so Detroit, but yes, but we'll go back to it.

01:11:59.000 Tell them the story that you told me about the guy at Kroger.

01:12:03.000 Oh, that's a classic.

01:12:07.000 Yesterday, I go to Kroger, and it was about 60-40% people wearing masks a week ago.

01:12:11.000 Now it's almost 100%.

01:12:13.000 Employees, patrons, everybody's walking around in masks.

01:12:18.000 And I go through and I do my self-checkout at one end.

01:12:21.000 Coming out of the store, everybody's got masks, and at the self-check at the exit is a guy about 6'6", 300 pounds, with a lit stogie in his cheek, scanning his stuff with a hearty, screw you, to all things out there.

01:12:37.000 A series of decisions!

01:12:38.000 Tucked back in there, and he's just like a mosquito chaser. 1.00

01:12:42.000 When you told me that, I said, wait, wait, wait.

01:12:44.000 I said, where was this?

01:12:45.000 Inside Kroger.

01:12:46.000 Inside Kroger?

01:12:47.000 Smokin' a stogie.

01:12:48.000 He brought the cigar with him, stuck it in the cup holder, drove to the garage.

01:12:52.000 There are so many statements being made, Des.

01:12:54.000 I think that's a guy who probably had a fight with his wife, and was just looking for someone else to, like, come at him.

01:12:58.000 Like, have you ever had those moments where you have a fight with your family, and you're just out there, and you're like, alright, I don't care anymore.

01:13:03.000 Someone.

01:13:04.000 I don't care.

01:13:05.000 I'll get milk and eggs, honey, but I'm takin' my stogie, dammit.

01:13:08.000 Lit cigar, and no one said a word, you said.

01:13:10.000 No, he was a mountain of a man.

01:13:11.000 He didn't care.

01:13:13.000 There's no stopping him.

01:13:14.000 I'm going to scan this.

01:13:16.000 Chuck it in the bag.

01:13:17.000 Didn't care.

01:13:19.000 I want to meet that man.

01:13:21.000 So you were raised in Detroit proper.

01:13:24.000 I'm always on for the Detroit bits.

01:13:25.000 No, I just wanted people to know.

01:13:27.000 So you were raised in Detroit because a lot of times people say they're from Detroit but they're not really from Detroit.

01:13:31.000 And then you played hockey at a very high level.

01:13:34.000 Well, you played at U of M. Very high level.

01:13:38.000 My uncle played hockey, but not nearly as a high level.

01:13:41.000 My older brother.

01:13:42.000 Your older brother, my uncle, played hockey.

01:13:44.000 And you were both pretty athletic.

01:13:45.000 I mean, back then it was unheard of for people to be training and living the kind of life that you did.

01:13:48.000 You were very into it.

01:13:49.000 That's true.

01:13:50.000 It was a focus.

01:13:51.000 I wasn't a guy that played a lot of sports.

01:13:52.000 I played one as best I could, so I prepared for it.

01:13:55.000 Well, he says that.

01:13:56.000 But then I remember we went to the batting cages in Grand Bend, Ontario, and we had some people there.

01:14:01.000 Family, friends, lovely, but they did baseball.

01:14:04.000 Wrong.

01:14:05.000 No, they did baseball.

01:14:06.000 Not professionally, but they played very high-level ball.

01:14:08.000 And my dad was like, how do I work?

01:14:12.000 So he's being humble here.

01:14:14.000 I didn't get any of these athletic genes, by the way.

01:14:16.000 He kept them all for himself.

01:14:18.000 He kept them all for himself.

01:14:18.000 But he was very good at it.

01:14:19.000 Well, he says that, but other kids are maybe into Little League baseball or football or whatever.

01:14:23.000 Stephen wanted to do stand-up when he was four.

01:14:25.000 Yeah, I know.

01:14:25.000 He was doing Seinfeld impressions.

01:14:27.000 That was a flop.

01:14:30.000 But he's great at jiu-jitsu.

01:14:31.000 He doesn't brag on himself enough.

01:14:32.000 I will.

01:14:33.000 Everyone knows.

01:14:33.000 He's high, high level at that.

01:14:35.000 But even Brendan tore your biceps.

01:14:38.000 I'm getting uncomfortable here.

01:14:39.000 So anyway, but the point is, so you were doing this, and then contrast that with your father.

01:14:44.000 Let people know about your dad to set up this story.

01:14:45.000 Your dad is not an athlete.

01:14:47.000 Well, they didn't play sports.

01:14:48.000 He had to go out and earn a living, right?

01:14:49.000 And he was career military.

01:14:51.000 Makes sense.

01:14:52.000 He had to fight world wars!

01:14:54.000 He was a career fighter pilot.

01:14:56.000 That's all he ever did.

01:14:58.000 You want me to tell the story about when he came home one day?

01:15:00.000 Oh, no, but tell us the story about your dad.

01:15:02.000 Like, in general, he was a guy who didn't exercise at all, didn't play sports.

01:15:06.000 6'2", maybe 230, 235.

01:15:08.000 Smoked.

01:15:09.000 Smoked, of course.

01:15:09.000 Drank.

01:15:10.000 Drank, sure.

01:15:11.000 Drank a lot every night.

01:15:12.000 Sure, guilty.

01:15:12.000 He was at the Admirals Club, the actual Admirals Club.

01:15:15.000 No, the officers club.

01:15:17.000 The officers club.

01:15:18.000 At the base.

01:15:19.000 Yeah, at the base, where he would have several whiskeys, sometimes before flying.

01:15:22.000 He claimed he was a better pilot after a scotch.

01:15:24.000 Now, I would tell him, science is against you.

01:15:27.000 I'm better.

01:15:27.000 I'm sharper.

01:15:28.000 Air to air, I'm on my game with one scotch.

01:15:30.000 So this is what's flying over your head, folks.

01:15:32.000 He was flying every day.

01:15:34.000 He wasn't a guy who was training pilots.

01:15:36.000 He was flying every day.

01:15:36.000 He was a full colonel.

01:15:38.000 Very high level.

01:15:39.000 But again, I just want to set the stage.

01:15:41.000 Now, contrast your brother at the time.

01:15:44.000 How old?

01:15:44.000 Older brother, about 18.

01:15:46.000 So he's playing junior hockey and he's really good.

01:15:48.000 He's pretty high level at that point and just very athletic.

01:15:52.000 Very angry, too, because he had a late growth spurt.

01:15:54.000 Yeah, he had a small man's complex and a big guy's body.

01:15:59.000 It's a bad combination.

01:16:00.000 What did he say in his driver's license?

01:16:02.000 At 16, he was 5'6", 130, and he was lying about that an inch and 10 pounds.

01:16:07.000 So by 18, he's 6'2", 195-ish or so, playing junior hockey.

01:16:12.000 So fast, but he's still acting like the guy's being knocked around as a kid.

01:16:15.000 You can't do that to me attitude, right?

01:16:17.000 Yeah.

01:16:18.000 Okay, so my dad comes home one day from the base after a day of flying, and who knows at the officer's club how many scotches.

01:16:26.000 And we're out playing in the neighborhood.

01:16:28.000 All the kids are out there.

01:16:29.000 And it's kind of like, picture Sandlot.

01:16:31.000 Kids everywhere.

01:16:32.000 Hanging out.

01:16:32.000 And my older brother, probably shouldn't have been playing with the younger kids, but he was out there.

01:16:35.000 You know, kind of cocky.

01:16:36.000 The big bully in the neighborhood.

01:16:38.000 So he's out there.

01:16:38.000 The old boy comes home.

01:16:40.000 I think he was driving the red GTO at that time.

01:16:43.000 And he's wearing what they call, pilots call, the green bag.

01:16:46.000 You guys wore it during the sketch, the Top Gun sketch.

01:16:48.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:16:49.000 One zipper up the front, pockets on the legs, and in those pockets goes your keys, your watch, your change.

01:16:54.000 Your whiskey rocks.

01:16:57.000 So your lower legs are encumbered with all your stuff.

01:17:00.000 You know, you've got patches up here, but you don't carry a lot up here.

01:17:02.000 So he comes, piles out of the car, and my cocky older brother says, because we were racing up and down the street, hey old man, let's see what you got.

01:17:11.000 My dad crushes out a cigarette, he's about 50 at this point, full colonel, just left the officers club, crushed out a cigarette, who knows how many that day, and he lines up and they say, from here to that car, which is, you know, our street wasn't that long.

01:17:24.000 Hold on a second, but there's also, he was, what was he, what shoes was he wearing?

01:17:27.000 Oh, of course, combat boots.

01:17:29.000 Yeah.

01:17:29.000 Yeah, flight boots.

01:17:30.000 A little bit different, but flight boots.

01:17:32.000 Track shoes, yeah.

01:17:33.000 Yeah, flight boots.

01:17:34.000 My brother, you gotta think, an 18 year old boy, he's near his peak, right, he's probably, High-level hockey player.

01:17:39.000 Athletic.

01:17:40.000 Great shape.

01:17:40.000 Weight training.

01:17:41.000 Sure.

01:17:42.000 So they line up, and my brother goes into some silly track stance or something at the line.

01:17:49.000 You know, he's all ready to explode.

01:17:51.000 Infinite garbage.

01:17:52.000 Yeah.

01:17:54.000 And the old boy just kind of, as I said, crushes one out, stands in line, says, someone say go, and he takes off.

01:18:00.000 It wasn't even close.

01:18:01.000 He beat my brother by at least a house and a half.

01:18:05.000 Wow.

01:18:05.000 So I m-m-m-moked him.

01:18:08.000 Oh my gosh.

01:18:10.000 Every kid in the neighborhood.

01:18:11.000 But he knew how to handle the dramatic.

01:18:13.000 He didn't come back and fist bump or beat his chest.

01:18:16.000 He just walked off into the house.

01:18:18.000 It was just so glorious.

01:18:19.000 Lit up another cigarette.

01:18:20.000 Such a thorough beating.

01:18:21.000 Such a thorough beat down.

01:18:23.000 Witnessed by the whole neighborhood.

01:18:25.000 And all you hear is this jingling of keys.

01:18:28.000 As he just takes off down the street.

01:18:32.000 And then my uncle, sorry, your brother didn't ask for a rematch.

01:18:35.000 No, humiliated.

01:18:36.000 Totally humiliated.

01:18:37.000 Durst not challenge him anymore.

01:18:39.000 Well, thank you so much.

01:18:41.000 It's boring for anyone else, but in the family it's a funny story.

01:18:44.000 These are stories that I always love.

01:18:45.000 Next time we'll have you tell the one where you get a dart put in your head and try to lock yourself in the bathroom so that he could keep it in his head until his parents got home.

01:18:52.000 I'm following past season tranny jokes with that. 1.00

01:18:55.000 Thank you so much, everybody.
