Louder with Crowder - Obama Funded China's COVID-Leaking Lab?! | #10 Good Morning MugClub

00:00:00.000 Roarrrr Mmm 0.99

00:00:10.000 That is good water, but I will say that it's coffee.

00:00:12.000 No, the reason why is I have my coffee before the show.

00:00:16.000 I'm just like, caffeinate, caffeinate, caffeinate.

00:00:17.000 And then when I'm on the show, well actually I will say this, the caffeine already kicked in.

00:00:21.000 Remember when we have a coffee and it's like, this whole show, I'll be talking with you, it'll be fun, it'll be friendly, but the whole time I'll be thinking... So, if you see my face go...

00:00:33.000 That's what's happening.

00:00:35.000 Gerald Day is in the room with us, my half-Asian lawyer Bill Richman, Gordo Black Garrett, Audio Wade, Gerbles on the overlays.

00:00:57.000 Enter in the promo code quarantine.

00:00:59.000 That's good through the end of the month.

00:01:01.000 Crowder Bits, where we also have podcasts everywhere.

00:01:03.000 Everywhere podcasts are sold or free.

00:01:05.000 We're everywhere.

00:01:06.000 So much stuff.

00:01:09.000 What else should we get to?

00:01:10.000 Let me think.

00:01:11.000 We have a lot to get to here today.

00:01:12.000 We're going to talk about Barack Obama funding the Chinas.

00:01:17.000 Funding the Chinese. 0.52

00:01:19.000 The Chiney. 0.98

00:01:20.000 They Chiney, but he dumb. 1.00

00:01:23.000 And funding them after the one child policy that they enforced.

00:01:27.000 And I was there in Cancun, Mexico when, what's his name?

00:01:29.000 Ted Turner was talking about that.

00:01:31.000 Being a good idea.

00:01:31.000 Rode in on a bison.

00:01:33.000 And.

00:01:34.000 What?

00:01:35.000 Two bison.

00:01:35.000 Then, yeah.

00:01:36.000 Like skis.

00:01:37.000 Yeah.

00:01:39.000 Slalom.

00:01:39.000 We'll also be talking about Shake Shack, Ilhan Omar, what else?

00:01:43.000 Why Brian Stelter's a bitch? 1.00

00:01:44.000 So we'll get to all of that.

00:01:45.000 But my question to you is, have you guys heard about the report, by the way, that Barack Obama did fund the bat coronavirus lab in Wuhan? 0.67

00:01:53.000 Did you guys know that about the experiments?

00:01:54.000 I did, yes.

00:01:54.000 But I just read about it.

00:01:55.000 I didn't know it at the time.

00:01:56.000 Do you think anyone in the United States has any business funding any of that overseas, these labs where they're doing the bat stuff? 1.00

00:02:04.000 Hey, let's see what's going on at CNN.

00:02:05.000 There's a guy right there who looks like a Jungle Book character.

00:02:11.000 I think he needs some eye drops.

00:02:12.000 I thought I was talking with Blitzer this morning.

00:02:14.000 No, no, it's SOS.

00:02:15.000 He's like, get me off this damn channel.

00:02:16.000 Please, someone.

00:02:17.000 I thought I was talking with Blitzer this morning.

00:02:18.000 I get Poppy Harlow.

00:02:19.000 Speaking of which, quick fact check here, by the way.

00:02:20.000 Do we have a chance to talk about the news?

00:02:21.000 I'm not sure if we have a chance to talk about the news.

00:02:29.000 Speaking of which, quick fact check here by the way.

00:02:32.000 Just was breaking on CNN.

00:02:33.000 Shake Shack.

00:02:34.000 Shake Shack, they gave back some of their stimulus money.

00:02:38.000 People got really mad because they said, why do these giant corporations get this money?

00:02:41.000 So they gave it back.

00:02:43.000 If I were Shake Shack, I would give the money back and immediately everybody off.

00:02:46.000 Just lay them off.

00:02:47.000 Just lay them off and be done.

00:02:48.000 Like, that's it.

00:02:50.000 This is so funny when they go, trickle down, why are we giving this to businesses?

00:02:53.000 Well, what do you think is going to happen if they can't employ anybody?

00:02:56.000 It's nice for you to have a check and basically a free vacation, but you know what?

00:03:00.000 If you want a job when you come back, we do need to support the infrastructure that actually creates the jobs.

00:03:05.000 That does help occasionally.

00:03:06.000 They are so screwed, by the way.

00:03:07.000 This is virtue signaling at its finest.

00:03:09.000 They received a $10 million loan, which means they went through the loan process thinking it was a good idea to get the money in the first place.

00:03:14.000 They have $100 million in the bank, their latest SEC filing showed, and now they've got public pressure to give it back.

00:03:20.000 They can never lay anybody off again because then they'll be screwed either way.

00:03:23.000 Right.

00:03:24.000 Oh, you gave the money back?

00:03:25.000 We know you have $100 million.

00:03:26.000 Why are you laying anybody off?

00:03:27.000 I'd keep the shakers, but I'd lay off the shacks. 1.00

00:03:29.000 Yeah, I don't like those guys either.

00:03:30.000 Unnecessary.

00:03:32.000 It seems superfluous.

00:03:33.000 No, no.

00:03:34.000 Why?

00:03:34.000 And why a shack in this day and age?

00:03:36.000 Come on, like a castle?

00:03:37.000 A small brick home?

00:03:40.000 They used to take pride in marketing.

00:03:42.000 It used to be White Castle, and we all knew it was a shack.

00:03:45.000 But now they say Shake Shack, and we all know it's got the new sconces on the wall and that weird horizontal wood pallet that you see at every single church.

00:03:54.000 You know what they also have?

00:03:55.000 What?

00:03:55.000 That Coke machine that has all of the flavors in one.

00:03:58.000 So you know you're getting the flavors of all the different things.

00:04:02.000 Yeah, you're just getting it mixed.

00:04:03.000 Nothing's pure these days.

00:04:04.000 No, that is just a dopamine surge.

00:04:06.000 Really, I mean, it's worse than pornography.

00:04:08.000 They yell at me when I stick my head in it.

00:04:10.000 It's terrible.

00:04:11.000 Cheese shanty.

00:04:12.000 Remember?

00:04:12.000 Don't use that word because it's a small local mom-and-pop shop and I don't want other people to know about it.

00:04:18.000 Good lord, he's gonna reveal all my spots.

00:04:20.000 You want to give him my after-work schedule, Gerald?

00:04:23.000 They have no idea where this place is.

00:04:25.000 Before we get to Brian Seltzer, we have a long video.

00:04:29.000 Ilhan Omar, now it's been found out that she's been using donor money to pay the firm that she had an affair with.

00:04:36.000 The guy who owns the firm is the guy she had an affair with.

00:04:38.000 So she did the guy.

00:04:39.000 Huh.

00:04:39.000 So she used, yeah, donations and or taxpayer dollars to pay the marketing firm of the man

00:04:47.000 with whom she had an affair.

00:04:49.000 So it's not enough to be a terrorist sympathizer.

00:04:51.000 Now she's got to be a cheating whore, an embezzling cheating whore. 1.00

00:04:55.000 Yeah, and all she has is taxpayer dollars. 0.99

00:04:58.000 Monopoly money at this point, right?

00:04:59.000 I mean, I guess it's sort of reverse prostitution? 0.99

00:05:01.000 Let's talk about the science of reverse prostitution.

00:05:03.000 I don't know, I mean, at what point, I mean, I guess it's sort of reverse prostitution?

00:05:07.000 I don't really know how you got it.

00:05:08.000 What is reverse?

00:05:09.000 Reverse is the opposite of prostitution.

00:05:10.000 Let's talk about the science of reverse prostitution.

00:05:14.000 All I know is he must be a great lay.

00:05:16.000 Which, by the way, you had your first year anniversary.

00:05:20.000 I did, yesterday.

00:05:21.000 Did you social distance?

00:05:23.000 The only way, by the way, to social distance on your anniversary is two prophylactics and a very long penis.

00:05:30.000 No social distancing.

00:05:31.000 No?

00:05:31.000 No.

00:05:32.000 You don't have any of those?

00:05:32.000 Coupling.

00:05:33.000 Coupling?

00:05:34.000 Did you have sex on your anniversary, Gerald?

00:05:37.000 I think that's what we're implying here.

00:05:38.000 Good, okay.

00:05:43.000 That face and the thumbs up, the implication there gives children nightmares.

00:05:51.000 That, and if only it could fit in Joe Biden sniffing.

00:05:56.000 Wait, I think Nambla just found their new poster.

00:06:02.000 Did everyone here have a good weekend?

00:06:03.000 Did you have a good weekend?

00:06:03.000 Yes!

00:06:04.000 It was a fantastic weekend.

00:06:06.000 Social distancing.

00:06:07.000 And just to be clear, we are not all in this together.

00:06:10.000 I want to be very clear about this.

00:06:12.000 When people talk about privilege, I recognize that I am actually privileged in the sense that this does not affect me nearly as badly as someone who has lost their job on a manufacturing line, who lives in a small apartment.

00:06:22.000 I live in a decent-sized home.

00:06:24.000 I don't go out a whole lot anyway.

00:06:26.000 I'm really recluse.

00:06:28.000 This is far harder, for example, for an 82-year-old diabetic nightclubber.

00:06:28.000 I'm a homebody.

00:06:33.000 This has got to be hell on earth for him, because he's lost everything he loves.

00:06:37.000 So I want to be clear.

00:06:39.000 In setting up the context as to why, and I feel like I pick on him a whole lot, to the point where it borders on bullying, but I don't care.

00:06:39.000 Sorry.

00:06:48.000 It does.

00:06:49.000 Brian Stelter, I saw a tweet about this, and then why am I touching this?

00:06:49.000 It's just bordering.

00:06:53.000 Because I'm uncomfortable.

00:06:55.000 Because I know I have to watch that fat gay face. 1.00

00:07:00.000 No, sorry, married face.

00:07:02.000 To a woman! 0.99

00:07:02.000 Oh, yes, true. 0.99

00:07:07.000 Brian Stelter talked about hitting, just let's just play this.

00:07:10.000 This is Brian Stelter because he's just like you.

00:07:13.000 It's okay to not be okay right now.

00:07:17.000 That's the main thing I want to say to everyone watching.

00:07:20.000 Okay.

00:07:21.000 All of us are grieving, whether we sense it or not.

00:07:26.000 All of us have lost something in the past few weeks.

00:07:28.000 You ever accidentally grieve?

00:07:29.000 Some have suffered the ultimate loss of a father or mother, spouse or relative.

00:07:35.000 Others have lost livelihoods.

00:07:36.000 They've lost access to family and friends.

00:07:39.000 Just losing the regs and routines that make life what it is is a profound loss.

00:07:46.000 We're all grieving.

00:07:47.000 Do you look at notes?

00:07:49.000 I have to admit to you, I have tried to bottle it all up.

00:07:53.000 I guess I was trying to be stoic for my wife and kids.

00:07:56.000 It wasn't until this Friday night that I hit a wall.

00:08:01.000 I was supposed to be finishing my nightly newsletter that I mentioned earlier.

00:08:04.000 But I couldn't do it.

00:08:05.000 I couldn't get it done.

00:08:06.000 I was so gutted by the death toll.

00:08:08.000 I was so angry about ignorance in Washington.

00:08:12.000 My grief ate my homework.

00:08:13.000 Also his hairline.

00:08:14.000 That's when the tears came.

00:08:15.000 We don't talk about this on TV.

00:08:16.000 I think we should change that.

00:08:17.000 have already lost their jobs.

00:08:19.000 It was that mix of emotions that many of you also feel.

00:08:24.000 Also his hairline.

00:08:25.000 And that's when the tears came.

00:08:27.000 That's when the tears came.

00:08:29.000 We don't talk about this on TV.

00:08:30.000 Also when I realized that I'll never get to meet George Michael.

00:08:32.000 I think we should talk about this.

00:08:35.000 Really?

00:08:35.000 You think we should talk about this?

00:08:36.000 Because we've been doing the opposite of that.

00:08:37.000 Yeah, we do.

00:08:38.000 Far, far worse.

00:08:38.000 solution to stress or anxiety or other emotions as a result of this crisis.

00:08:43.000 Look, let's remember, we've never lived through something quite like this.

00:08:48.000 We have nothing to compare this with.

00:08:49.000 Yeah, we do.

00:08:50.000 Far, far worse.

00:08:51.000 When did CNN turn into an op-ed for Teen Vogue?

00:08:56.000 You can feel your feelings and you love Tanner Green.

00:08:59.000 You can answer us at cnn.com.

00:09:01.000 All time bests?

00:09:02.000 Devon Sauer or JTT?

00:09:06.000 Facetiming.

00:09:09.000 The emotions are real.

00:09:10.000 For everybody.

00:09:13.000 They're a big part of the story.

00:09:16.000 Can someone just put an overlay in there where between We Are All Grieving and CNN it says, About We Are All Grieving.

00:09:22.000 The reactions were extraordinary.

00:09:24.000 The outpouring of reactions was extraordinary.

00:09:26.000 I'm still getting hundreds of emails from readers about this.

00:09:29.000 For him, that's an event.

00:09:30.000 That's why I hope you can relate to this as well.

00:09:32.000 Like someone's walking in with emails, like there'll be physical letters, like someone's walking in, we have all these letters for Brian Stelter!

00:09:38.000 Throw them on the table with a Santa Claus sack.

00:09:41.000 There's just all AARP membership.

00:09:44.000 Junk mail.

00:09:45.000 No, HairClub for Men.

00:09:46.000 HairClub for Men.

00:09:48.000 They related to this.

00:09:49.000 One of them was my GLAAD renewal.

00:09:52.000 It's okay to not be okay right now.

00:09:55.000 It's the wrong overlay.

00:10:01.000 That's a squirrel.

00:10:03.000 It's not an overlay at all.

00:10:05.000 Okay to not be okay?

00:10:06.000 So my message to you is, when someone asks you if you're okay right now, Tell the truth.

00:10:11.000 No, no, no.

00:10:12.000 We need to let him make his point.

00:10:13.000 It's okay to not be okay.

00:10:14.000 We've heard it three times!

00:10:16.000 Twenty-five years ago today.

00:10:18.000 I thought we had nothing to compare this to.

00:10:20.000 It seems to me that's a little more severe.

00:10:21.000 They should ask your boyfriend.

00:10:22.000 They should ask every other person on CNN who dogs on America like every other minute, right?

00:10:25.000 Are you kidding me?

00:10:26.000 All of a sudden he loves Oklahoma?

00:10:28.000 Right.

00:10:28.000 Everybody thinks Americans have lost the capacity for love and caring and courage.

00:10:32.000 They should ask your boyfriend.

00:10:34.000 They should ask every other person on CNN who dogs on America like every other minute.

00:10:39.000 You kidding me?

00:10:40.000 All of a sudden he loves Oklahoma?

00:10:41.000 Right.

00:10:42.000 And America?

00:10:43.000 I think this is the first time he actually used the word Oklahoma instead of flyover

00:10:47.000 Right, yeah, yeah.

00:10:49.000 There's also the disaster distress hotline, the helpline.

00:10:52.000 We will put that number up as well.

00:10:54.000 Wait, that's his number.

00:10:57.000 There's also the disaster number hotline that you can call for a good time.

00:11:00.000 He just gave out his email.

00:11:02.000 His own email.

00:11:03.000 Oh god, this is live and we're going to be accused of doxxing, right?

00:11:07.000 I think he did it.

00:11:08.000 We're going to be accused of doxxing a fat gay guy. 0.97

00:11:11.000 It's not our fault.

00:11:13.000 It is, of course, okay to not be okay.

00:11:15.000 And I understand the irony is not lost on me when I try to be authentic and vulnerable at the end of these shows.

00:11:19.000 Usually when we do those, the crowd closes.

00:11:20.000 That being said, this is not that point.

00:11:23.000 I hit a wall.

00:11:25.000 Okay, now I would understand if he hit a wall if you had COVID-19.

00:11:25.000 Really?

00:11:29.000 Somebody in your family.

00:11:31.000 If you actually lost a direct relative.

00:11:32.000 Of course you hit a wall, but you hit a wall because of the news that you are peddling all the time.

00:11:37.000 It's the letters.

00:11:39.000 And what's amazing is we have nothing to compare this to.

00:11:41.000 I was just watching, and it's a little heavy handed, the plot against America, which is, you know, if Lindbergh had won instead of FDR.

00:11:47.000 And I can see all the implications that, you know, Donald Trump in America first, and he must hate the Jews, even though his son-in-law is Jared Kushner.

00:11:53.000 Anyway, it's still a pretty good show.

00:11:53.000 But I digress.

00:11:55.000 But I was sitting there going, when people talk about how this is unprecedented, right, the new normal, do you really think, and I get it, I get it, we need to take precautions like we've talked about, we've always encouraged you to wash your hands, sanitize, masks, I just think we need to be accurate about the numbers, but it is remarkable to me to compare this to, say, how do you think Americans felt when you're talking about fear, or really anyone across the globe, when France surrendered and there was the blitzkrieg in London?

00:12:19.000 You don't think that was a little bit scarier, watching the Nazis march through Europe, knowing that we are next, unless we enter into, possibly, the bloodiest war of all time?

00:12:29.000 That's what we thought.

00:12:30.000 We're going, man, we're going to lose a lot of lives.

00:12:33.000 Imagine, just to put yourself in that mindset, France surrenders.

00:12:37.000 Do you have any idea how spine-chilling that must have been back then?

00:12:40.000 And you want to compare that to your coverage of COVID-19?

00:12:44.000 It's not even close!

00:12:45.000 No, it's not.

00:12:46.000 Of course, every loss, every life lost is precious.

00:12:48.000 We understand that.

00:12:49.000 We always have to say this, because if you don't say it, you don't make sure there's 30 seconds of context where you talk about all the heroes and the first responders and lives lost.

00:12:55.000 People say that you don't care, but the fact is, we all know that, right?

00:12:58.000 Let's move on in being accurate about the numbers.

00:13:01.000 But to act as though you hit a wall, because this is the hardest moment in American history, It's not even the hardest moment in our lifetimes when you compare it to 9-11.

00:13:08.000 Well, did he hit the same wall in 2009?

00:13:10.000 I'm sure we can go back and see coverage of that when 60,000 people died from the swine flu that year.

00:13:16.000 I'm assuming he hit the same wall because he said, I'm gutted by the number of people that died.

00:13:16.000 Right.

00:13:20.000 I'm like, well, nobody wants people to die, but... Or the 2017 flu year, which was like 70-something thousand for flu.

00:13:25.000 This isn't that different.

00:13:26.000 Yeah.

00:13:27.000 I mean, you know, it's different.

00:13:28.000 I mean, I get that it's hitting you now, but you also don't seem to be very genuine in this as well.

00:13:33.000 I thought he was just sad he doesn't have anything else new to say.

00:13:37.000 I've run out of things to say.

00:13:38.000 I mean, guys, you've got to give him a little credit.

00:13:39.000 He's run out of things to say.

00:13:41.000 And that's heartbreaking.

00:13:42.000 He's just sour fat bald man.

00:13:44.000 I mean, like... Sour patch fat gay bald man. 1.00

00:13:48.000 I don't want those candies.

00:13:49.000 I think we should send him some Snickers.

00:13:50.000 It'll make him feel better.

00:13:53.000 Someone photoshopped that.

00:13:54.000 I want sour patch stelters.

00:13:57.000 First they're sweet, then they're gay. 1.00

00:14:01.000 But rainbow colored.

00:14:03.000 I guess they already are rainbow-colored.

00:14:05.000 And it's just amazing.

00:14:06.000 This is also a guy, too, when you're talking about privilege, who somehow got his foot in the door by selling something that wasn't worth anything and working at CNN.

00:14:12.000 There is no redeeming value there.

00:14:14.000 I need to know the back story.

00:14:14.000 I don't understand.

00:14:15.000 There needs to be some kind of talent.

00:14:17.000 I get that at least Chris Cuomo was telegenic.

00:14:20.000 I've been often told that I myself have the gift of gab, though I would prefer it were welding.

00:14:30.000 I don't get what Brian Stelter brings to the table and now it just seems like this is what I just I hit a wall like what are you running the Boston Marathon?

00:14:39.000 I hit a wall!

00:14:41.000 I had to type, I had to co-sign a newsletter!

00:14:44.000 Someone else typed it up, I used A.B.

00:14:48.000 to ask someone to automate a newsletter and I had to put my name on there I said That's when the tears came.

00:14:56.000 Is he like a first responder?

00:14:57.000 Is he on the front lines, like, working every day amongst sick people, helping people like that?

00:15:01.000 Is that what he's doing?

00:15:02.000 Or is he actually in a studio making millions of dollars and totally fine?

00:15:05.000 Hey, he works at CNN.

00:15:07.000 It's filled with sick people.

00:15:09.000 Have you ever watched their coverage?

00:15:10.000 But he's already been infected with that.

00:15:12.000 Yeah, well, he was the first responder in the department store when Moscow and the Hudson defected.

00:15:16.000 Can't you hear?

00:15:16.000 He's the first!

00:15:19.000 Yes, I'm kidding.

00:15:23.000 Love you, Joe.

00:15:27.000 That was his joke.

00:15:30.000 You notice within a few days of Cuomo kind of having a break and speaking honestly about his feelings about CNN and their hyper-partisanship, etc., you also have Stelter saying, I'm hitting a wall, I can't do, you know, this coverage, all this crap.

00:15:45.000 He's actually getting to me.

00:15:45.000 We're peddling.

00:15:47.000 I can't really spend the dollars as quickly as I would like to cover up for the feeling of horror that I have in peddling this crap.

00:15:55.000 He's just wishing for the days of Jussie Smollett to come back.

00:15:59.000 Please, I'm gonna race bait again.

00:16:01.000 When he can get back to honest-to-God news.

00:16:03.000 Alright, we don't really have that much to offer you here.

00:16:06.000 I just wanted to touch on it.

00:16:09.000 Let's go to another story here right now.

00:16:11.000 Florida beaches, right there, reopening.

00:16:13.000 And it's amazing that this is as controversial as it is.

00:16:15.000 I'll get to why in a second, and I want to know what you guys think.

00:16:18.000 Republican, obviously, Governor DeSantis.

00:16:21.000 Right now, this is being covered everywhere.

00:16:22.000 I think we have a clip.

00:16:24.000 Meanwhile, some states are already starting to ease restrictions.

00:16:27.000 In Florida, very popular beaches like Jacksonville, Neptune Beach, and Atlantic Beach, they're open today.

00:16:33.000 Governor Ron DeSantis gave the green light despite the growing outbreak, but those beach mayors specify they're open for exercise purposes only and not for tanning nor gathering in large groups.

00:16:43.000 I'm looking at a fat guy on that beach who's clearly not exercising.

00:16:47.000 I don't know who is Stelter's Double, who they had to...

00:16:47.000 Yep, not exercising at all.

00:16:50.000 Because of the social distancing?

00:16:52.000 I was exercising.

00:16:54.000 It just caught me while I was taking a breather.

00:16:55.000 And unfortunately, the first beach they name open is Jacksonville.

00:16:59.000 It's where dreams go to die.

00:17:02.000 And people!

00:17:04.000 So this is obviously, it's been trending.

00:17:06.000 Leftists are outraged everywhere on Twitter that, oh, morons in Florida.

00:17:10.000 And let me be really clear.

00:17:11.000 If you go to the beach, you should still practice certain precautions.

00:17:14.000 Now, what I saw there were couples who were walking hand in hand, as couples do, and then other people.

00:17:20.000 And they were relatively far apart.

00:17:21.000 And I know some people aren't necessarily obeying them.

00:17:23.000 But this is, to me, entirely reasonable.

00:17:27.000 It's amazing to me that people are saying, these people protesting going out.

00:17:30.000 First off, they're not really protesting going out to the beaches anymore, just to be clear.

00:17:32.000 They're actually going out there and obeying the law.

00:17:34.000 But it is amazing to me that people are upset that the beaches are open, but not upset over the fact that in New York City, the subways have always been open!

00:17:44.000 The subways are rolling Pringles tubes of farts!

00:17:48.000 It's already a cesspit, so...

00:17:49.000 I can't really do anything about that.

00:17:50.000 It is disgusting!

00:17:52.000 And by the way, they did say it could be the source of the virus spread, like subways.

00:17:55.000 That's absolutely terrible.

00:17:56.000 And people say, well, we need the subways for the economy in New York.

00:17:59.000 First off, the economy has kind of stopped a little bit.

00:18:01.000 You can walk, you can ride your bike, the weather should allow it if you're an eco-friendly activist at this point.

00:18:06.000 And if you want to talk about the economy in Florida, it's almost entirely reliant on waterfront activities.

00:18:12.000 Just ask the mayor of Amity.

00:18:15.000 So let me get this straight, so large open spaces, bad.

00:18:19.000 Petri dishes underground in New York, good.

00:18:25.000 That's what I'm hearing.

00:18:25.000 I still have the Dixie Chicks in my head.

00:18:27.000 You know, and every time they mention the subway, they talk about how it's necessary for the economy.

00:18:30.000 Right.

00:18:31.000 And I'm like, I don't understand.

00:18:32.000 I thought you guys just said you don't care about the economy.

00:18:34.000 So, am I allowed to go for a walk in my neighborhood?

00:18:34.000 Yeah, right.

00:18:37.000 Because that's kind of like going to a beach if I'm not- You really pronounce the L like in walk a lot.

00:18:41.000 Walk.

00:18:41.000 Walk?

00:18:54.000 I don't begrudge you.

00:18:55.000 I was just noticing.

00:18:57.000 There's nothing more entertaining in any given week than the hills that Gerald chooses to climb.

00:19:03.000 I write them down in a little notebook and I just giggle.

00:19:06.000 I love it.

00:19:07.000 It's the L in walk.

00:19:08.000 Walk.

00:19:09.000 I will not say walk.

00:19:10.000 I'd like to see that Battle of Bunker Hill history tour.

00:19:14.000 Gerald is there.

00:19:15.000 There you go.

00:19:15.000 There's where Gerald died.

00:19:17.000 It's like, that's not even a hill.

00:19:17.000 And there too.

00:19:19.000 It's more of a moat.

00:19:21.000 It's actually a depression in the ground.

00:19:23.000 It's a pit that I threw myself into.

00:19:25.000 Wait a second!

00:19:26.000 This is just landfill!

00:19:30.000 He chose his resting place.

00:19:32.000 I did.

00:19:33.000 This is something else that is pretty important, too.

00:19:34.000 When you compare, also, subways, right?

00:19:36.000 Subterranean, sick alien, that stuff.

00:19:39.000 By the way, Radiohead, I don't know if you ever listened to OK Computer, but I always felt like it kind of gets me a little bit disoriented.

00:19:45.000 York said that was the design of OK Computer was to make people kind of nauseous.

00:19:49.000 Like, oh, what's with you?

00:19:50.000 It's what it kind of feels like, art.

00:19:51.000 Yeah, there's some great songs and then it's also just a bunch of crap What are you doing York?

00:19:55.000 What are you doing York?

00:20:01.000 Don't you know art is supposed to bother you?

00:20:03.000 Oh.

00:20:04.000 Yes.

00:20:05.000 It's supposed to cause...

00:20:06.000 Art is supposed to be irritating.

00:20:09.000 So when you compare the subway to Florida, there's also—remember Donald Trump was mocked for saying that, you know, this could go away in April?

00:20:15.000 Now we know that sunlight actually seems to be killing COVID-19, according to some new studies.

00:20:22.000 That heat, humidity are bad for it, and specifically direct sunlight can kill it very quickly.

00:20:26.000 Now, this isn't entirely definitive, but every study that we have available to us says that it is helpful So that's a good thing, especially if you look at the numbers between sort of southern states and where it spread more rapidly.

00:20:36.000 I think the average temperature, we'll talk about this a little bit later tonight, I'll do a little bit more of a deep dive, I think it's like, it's very low, and this very low humidity.

00:20:44.000 So there is a trend, there is a correlation, they looked to see if there was a causation by studying this virus with UV light directly, and it turns out The sun kills it.

00:20:51.000 So, if anything is going to be open, the New York subway, where people relieve themselves on a regular basis in the pit of filth and sadness that is New York City.

00:21:01.000 And just do bed wrap.

00:21:02.000 Or the open air with salt water and UV light.

00:21:08.000 Did you pick?

00:21:09.000 By the way, are we just now realizing that there's a flu season?

00:21:12.000 Flu season's not during the summertime.

00:21:14.000 Haven't we known this for like 150 years, that flu tends to spread during colder months with lower humidity?

00:21:20.000 We've known it since Doc Holiday.

00:21:21.000 I mean, come on.

00:21:22.000 This can't be news to anybody, right?

00:21:23.000 Yeah.

00:21:24.000 Really?

00:21:25.000 Doc Holiday had rickets.

00:21:26.000 Was that what we had?

00:21:28.000 No, we had TB.

00:21:29.000 TB, TB.

00:21:30.000 Who was the kid who had the rickets?

00:21:32.000 I don't know.

00:21:32.000 Ricketts was vitamin D, right?

00:21:34.000 Ricketts, and then TB was what?

00:21:36.000 Probably Macaulay Culkin.

00:21:39.000 Sorry Mr. Culkin, I hate to diagnose you with it, but apparently you have Ricketts.

00:21:43.000 It's old hat!

00:21:46.000 Can I get a genuine reaction, please?

00:21:49.000 Any more thoughts on Florida?

00:21:50.000 I hate Florida.

00:21:51.000 Oh, by the way, South Carolina just followed suit and said, yeah, we're opening, too.

00:21:54.000 Really?

00:21:54.000 Yeah, their beaches as well.

00:21:56.000 So it looks like everybody's going to open their beaches in warm climates and be like, ha ha!

00:22:00.000 Yeah, so the MSNBC anchor said something about, like, despite the growing numbers, like adding one is growing.

00:22:06.000 Yes.

00:22:06.000 It will always be growing until there is no more cases.

00:22:09.000 You know what else is growing?

00:22:10.000 Adding 3,700 that were never even tested for COVID.

00:22:13.000 That is also a number that can contribute to growth.

00:22:16.000 Hey, pull some more out from the morgue.

00:22:18.000 Let's just add to that.

00:22:21.000 But this guy has a knife wound.

00:22:22.000 You know?

00:22:24.000 Best not to take chances.

00:22:25.000 That knife had COVID on it.

00:22:27.000 Don't let COVID put complications around COVID.

00:22:30.000 There you go.

00:22:32.000 This guy crashed his car, but we have strong reason to believe that before he crashed his car, he went, ah, COVID!

00:22:37.000 And that's what caused the crash.

00:22:39.000 Yeah, that's what caused the crash.

00:22:40.000 Yeah, I didn't even know.

00:22:41.000 He was watching Brian Stelter and his little...

00:22:44.000 Little icon.

00:22:45.000 I'm not okay too, Brian.

00:22:47.000 It's okay to not be okay.

00:22:48.000 And by the way, it is okay to not be okay.

00:22:51.000 Just like, this is what's the thing with Brian Seltzer.

00:22:53.000 I was just watching a 30 for 30.

00:22:55.000 Did you see this on the Duke Lacrosse?

00:22:57.000 That's a great one.

00:22:58.000 That's actually a really good one because I didn't know a whole lot about the actual evidence of the case and that Niphon, Niphon, Niphon, the guy who was prosecuting, how he actually withheld evidence and actually lied about DNA evidence.

00:23:08.000 He was disbarred.

00:23:09.000 The guy who actually was prosecuting, yeah, completely disbarred, like very quickly.

00:23:14.000 So the problem with that, right, is that it does a huge disservice, as we've always talked about, to women who are the victims of a horrible crime like rape, right?

00:23:21.000 It's okay to not be okay when there is something that makes you not okay.

00:23:25.000 But to simply say you're not okay because of the coverage that you have peddled out there to try and make people think that it is hopeless, that's not an excusable reason.

00:23:34.000 And this is something, this is really true.

00:23:37.000 My therapist just laughed The other week, because we had some kind of going through and I was talking about how, listen, as men, we don't always get to, we have to control our emotions.

00:23:44.000 Right.

00:23:45.000 If we're experiencing something that bothers our wives, let's say a familial issue. 0.75

00:23:48.000 Right.

00:23:49.000 They can cry and men can cry, but I said, you know, like the thing is, I know that me being really emotional would make my wife feel less stable.

00:23:57.000 I can be sad, but I can't fly off the handle.

00:23:59.000 So a lot of the times men, they're like a dog who has to go off into the woods to die.

00:24:02.000 We go and we sort of cry by ourselves.

00:24:04.000 My therapist laughed.

00:24:06.000 She's like, you feel like a dog has to go out in the woods to die?

00:24:06.000 Really?

00:24:10.000 I'm like, yeah.

00:24:11.000 She's like, do dogs do that?

00:24:12.000 I'm like, don't you know they go and die alone not to disrupt the pack.

00:24:14.000 She's like, well, okay, it's a good analogy.

00:24:17.000 We need to dig deeper into this.

00:24:22.000 It does a disservice to, there's nothing wrong with crying as a man.

00:24:26.000 And that's a very new thing.

00:24:27.000 It really kind of started in the 40s and 50s, this false machismo.

00:24:29.000 If you look at Abraham Lincoln, you look at George Washington, you go back to any of these great men, they all cried.

00:24:34.000 They would kiss each other on the cheek.

00:24:35.000 They were very affectionate.

00:24:36.000 It wasn't like you had to be a jock or an artist, right?

00:24:38.000 You had to be a well-rounded man.

00:24:41.000 All across the board, that being said, to say that you hit a wall and you were crying because of your coverage of COVID-19 is a gross disservice to when a man needs to cry in front of his wife because, you know, his bulldog died or because they have something going on with the cancer.

00:24:56.000 Or even something happening... yes, a real issue.

00:25:01.000 And I think you're right.

00:25:02.000 With somebody like Brian Stelter, he's part of the problem.

00:25:04.000 It's like, if only we could find a solution to this problem.

00:25:07.000 If only I didn't go and make this sound worse every single day.

00:25:11.000 If only I did not provide context for every single stat that I'm throwing out there to

00:25:14.000 make Americans feel like this is the worst thing that's ever happened to us.

00:25:18.000 Just don't go to work, Brian.

00:25:19.000 Yeah.

00:25:20.000 Stay home.

00:25:20.000 Do us all a favor.

00:25:21.000 Stay home.

00:25:21.000 You'll feel better.

00:25:22.000 We'll feel better.

00:25:22.000 Self-quarantine yourself.

00:25:23.000 Everybody wins.

00:25:24.000 Yeah.

00:25:25.000 I like this solution.

00:25:25.000 I think it's easy.

00:25:26.000 I like this solution as well.

00:25:27.000 It's a reasonable solution.

00:25:28.000 It is the best.

00:25:29.000 Where's petition.org?

00:25:29.000 You know what?

00:25:30.000 That's a good hill to die on.

00:25:31.000 That's a good one.

00:25:32.000 I chose a good one!

00:25:33.000 I'm glad to find you dead on that hill.

00:25:38.000 I put on a poppy for a buck fifty every year.

00:25:40.000 Can we talk about the fact that it's been ten minutes of chloroquine talk on CNN?

00:25:48.000 Oh really?

00:25:49.000 Let me see.

00:25:51.000 What's this?

00:25:52.000 Oh boy!

00:25:54.000 That's a long nose bridge.

00:25:56.000 She was a doctor on Grey's Anatomy and now she's on CNN. 0.99

00:25:59.000 What's the problem?

00:26:01.000 Only you can make that joke! 1.00

00:26:05.000 What's her name?

00:26:06.000 I don't know.

00:26:08.000 Sandra Oh. 0.96

00:26:09.000 Sandra Oh. 0.96

00:26:11.000 So here's what's really interesting is they've been talking about how they're moving forward with major pharma testing.

00:26:18.000 They're interested in seeing the results.

00:26:19.000 Interesting.

00:26:20.000 And that there's some potential that it's going to be a part of the treatment regimen.

00:26:27.000 Right.

00:26:28.000 Yeah, it already works.

00:26:29.000 The only one, and we'll talk about it later, the only one that didn't was a Brazilian study where they used far too much of a dose.

00:26:33.000 And what's remarkable to me is, you know, you see young Turks on CNN and ABC going, well, this is what we were afraid of, when they're talking about chloroquine. 0.59

00:26:39.000 Oh, of course.

00:26:39.000 This is what we were afraid of, because there was no evidence that it was effective.

00:26:42.000 And now, and they cite one small study in Brazil, the only study that I know of that used significantly over the recommended dose, by the way, they used a high dose and a slightly low dose.

00:26:51.000 They had to cancel the high dose, and they continued with the low dose, because it actually, from what we know, could be pretty effective.

00:26:57.000 But they had to cancel the high dose.

00:26:57.000 We know about hydroxychloroquine.

00:26:59.000 It's dose dependent.

00:27:00.000 There is a curve, right?

00:27:02.000 But it's remarkable to me that they go, there's no evidence that this works.

00:27:05.000 And they go, see?

00:27:05.000 This could be deadly.

00:27:06.000 They had to cancel a study.

00:27:07.000 Well, hold on a second.

00:27:08.000 What about all the other studies that were peer reviewed?

00:27:10.000 What about all the other studies that use the appropriate dosing and actually sort of eliminate for these other co-factors that could contribute to one's health?

00:27:18.000 Obviously, you don't conduct a study if you're looking at people who have heart disease or high blood pressure.

00:27:21.000 We know that you shouldn't be using that.

00:27:23.000 So, there was no evidence whatsoever, and then you have one study from Brazil that used too much, and they canceled half of it, and you go, now we know for sure what would happen to the whole evidence scenario.

00:27:32.000 You know that in the pitch meeting for that, when that came across, hey guys, look at what I found.

00:27:35.000 Like, everybody's face just lit up, like, the grinch, like, with a smile that goes all the way up, like, yes, he was wrong.

00:27:40.000 Yes, exactly.

00:27:41.000 Great study.

00:27:42.000 And unfortunately, the people taking the high dose, their heart drew four sizes that day.

00:27:47.000 The big-hearted amongst us.

00:27:48.000 Caused them to burst open, but, you know.

00:27:49.000 And all they left in the house was a stint that was even too small for a mouse.

00:27:54.000 Do we have, actually, right now, do we have a McBrodie?

00:27:57.000 So actually to see what we got wrong in an update because we don't necessarily have time to go through all of the

00:28:02.000 news It is time for the morning after with senior news

00:28:04.000 correspondent brought again All right, mr. Brodigan, are you there sir? Oh

00:28:14.000 Oh Okay, yeah.

00:28:16.000 To start off, happy birthday goes out to Joe Rogan, Snoop Dogg, Matt McConaughey, surprisingly both Cheech and Cha.

00:28:23.000 No, okay, Brodigan, it's not their birthday today, Brodigan.

00:28:28.000 I want to be clear about that, yeah.

00:28:29.000 They weren't all born in 420?

00:28:31.000 No, they weren't all born in 420.

00:28:32.000 No.

00:28:33.000 No, okay, did you catch any of the president's briefings over the weekend there, senior news correspondent?

00:28:39.000 Okay, yeah.

00:28:40.000 So Trump announced his three-point plan to get America back to work.

00:28:43.000 Okay.

00:28:44.000 Uh, step one, steal the underpants. 0.97

00:28:46.000 Uh, step two is a secret.

00:28:47.000 And then step three, America profits.

00:28:49.000 No, that's, no, Brodigan, that's actually, that's from, nope, that's from South Park.

00:28:52.000 Okay.

00:28:52.000 You're confusing the plan with a Facebook meme making, yeah, making fun of the, that's not news at all.

00:28:59.000 Uh, I don't want to get snoped.

00:29:00.000 What else do you have?

00:29:01.000 Oh, okay.

00:29:02.000 Yeah.

00:29:02.000 Um, Trump also named his council to reopen America.

00:29:05.000 Uh, it includes, uh, Dak Prescott and Zeke Elliott, Chris Cuomo, Lady Gaga, 90-year-old woman who said she was out of beer, former WWE wrestler is a revival.

00:29:13.000 No, no, no, okay, no, Brodigan, no.

00:29:15.000 Yeah?

00:29:15.000 No, yeah.

00:29:16.000 Yes, thank you for, I appreciate you listening.

00:29:18.000 The council, it's Jared and Ivanka.

00:29:21.000 Okay, I want to be clear.

00:29:21.000 Then there's the Treasury Secretary, the Commerce Secretary, and what you just talked about, as a matter of fact, I'm quite confident, those were just people who happen to be trending on Twitter.

00:29:34.000 What were they trending for?

00:29:35.000 I don't, I don't care.

00:29:36.000 I think it's because they're on the commission.

00:29:41.000 Okay, so one last bit of Donald Trump news.

00:29:44.000 Is this one last bit of Donald Trump news?

00:29:47.000 This is one last bit of Donald Trump news.

00:29:49.000 This is big.

00:29:50.000 This is big.

00:29:51.000 He did in fact, it's been joked about, but he did in fact give Joe Exotic a presidential pardon.

00:29:57.000 Smooth Maddie, can you bring up that clip I sent you?

00:30:01.000 We don't have a clip.

00:30:02.000 We don't have a clip?

00:30:03.000 No.

00:30:04.000 Wait, are you talking about the clip from... No, Brodigan, that was actually... That was a clip that we did on... Is he talking about the thing we did in the show?

00:30:09.000 That was a bit we did on the show.

00:30:10.000 Donald Trump did not pardon Joe Exotic.

00:30:12.000 We did a bit about it on the show.

00:30:14.000 I saw it reported on Facebook.

00:30:16.000 No, because someone shared the clip on another Facebook page.

00:30:19.000 Okay, I don't even think... Are you already... Brodigan, are you... Brodigan?

00:30:24.000 Yeah?

00:30:25.000 Brodigan?

00:30:26.000 Yes?

00:30:27.000 Look at me.

00:30:27.000 Are you drinking already?

00:30:30.000 What I do online is my business.

00:30:31.000 That's not how the plug works.

00:30:33.000 I've had enough.

00:30:34.000 This has been Morning After with Brodigan, everybody.

00:30:38.000 Hey, so why do we have the duck commander giving us our duties?

00:30:43.000 Yeah, I don't know.

00:30:45.000 He did a really bad... I mean, he could take over for Stelter, though, I think.

00:30:48.000 I think he could do a much better job.

00:30:50.000 Here's the one thing, though.

00:30:51.000 When it comes to drinking, Brodigan never hits the wall.

00:30:54.000 That's true.

00:30:55.000 He just busts through it.

00:30:56.000 Walls typically hit him.

00:30:57.000 He just finds another wall.

00:30:57.000 He's like the juggernaut.

00:30:58.000 It's true.

00:30:59.000 It's like an unstoppable force.

00:31:00.000 Really?

00:31:00.000 Alright, hold on.

00:31:01.000 Let me see where we are after this.

00:31:02.000 He's like the Kool-Aid man.

00:31:03.000 Yeah.

00:31:04.000 Truly.

00:31:05.000 By the way, thank you ExpressVPN.com slash Crowder.

00:31:07.000 I think you get, uh, I don't know, you get something off.

00:31:09.000 And of course, we use it.

00:31:14.000 We did it with the Tulsi Gabbard thing that we did on YouTube.

00:31:16.000 Use ExpressVPN.

00:31:16.000 We did it.

00:31:17.000 What was the recent Retin link?

00:31:20.000 An extra three months free off of a year.

00:31:22.000 I guess I have to say brand X.

00:31:24.000 Is this a trick question?

00:31:26.000 security breach and they didn't let people, this is public news, I can say that, right?

00:31:29.000 NordVPN had a security breach.

00:31:30.000 No, I mean that they had a breach.

00:31:31.000 I don't care that you're naming them, that's all public news.

00:31:33.000 No, they had a breach, no one knew about it for a year.

00:31:34.000 So when I have to decide between a VPN that has a security breach and covers it up

00:31:40.000 and one that doesn't, I mean, there have to be other deciding factors,

00:31:44.000 but it's a big one.

00:31:45.000 Is this a trick question or?

00:31:46.000 It's not a trick question.

00:31:48.000 For you, it might be.

00:31:48.000 So, let's get into... I have to fix it every show.

00:31:55.000 You know what I have?

00:31:56.000 I have something... There we go.

00:31:57.000 I had a popcorn kernel stuck in the back of my car all day.

00:32:01.000 I was brushing.

00:32:02.000 I got the electric brush.

00:32:03.000 I got the floss.

00:32:03.000 I got the water pick.

00:32:05.000 Popcorn is a celebratory food item, Steven.

00:32:07.000 Come on.

00:32:08.000 What are you talking about?

00:32:09.000 You eat it like when you watch movies, it's like fun.

00:32:10.000 That's what I did, I was watching a movie.

00:32:12.000 You shouldn't be doing that.

00:32:13.000 You shouldn't be doing that at this time.

00:32:14.000 Don't tell me about my popcorn eating habits.

00:32:16.000 You see this?

00:32:16.000 He picked another hill to die on, it's when I can eat popcorn.

00:32:19.000 Exhibit A, another terrible hill to die on.

00:32:20.000 No, that's exhibit Y. Yeah, that's true.

00:32:23.000 I think we're running out of letters.

00:32:24.000 Exhibit AA.

00:32:25.000 What do they do, I was going to ask you, what do they do in court when they run out of, you know, just the first... AA, AAA.

00:32:31.000 It's like baseball, yeah.

00:32:33.000 How far does it go?

00:32:34.000 Like, has it ever gone beyond, like, Triple Z?

00:32:35.000 I've seen four.

00:32:36.000 Really?

00:32:36.000 Oh, wow.

00:32:37.000 I've been in a trial where we had... What, Triple Z? 1.00

00:32:39.000 Yeah.

00:32:39.000 I mean, because that's, if you think about it, that's only, like, around 100, 125 exhibits.

00:32:41.000 Oh, yeah, that's true, I guess.

00:32:43.000 So, actually, a lot of times... That's more than the exhibits they have at the Gerald Ford Museum.

00:32:47.000 Right, exactly.

00:32:47.000 They only have three.

00:32:48.000 Uh-huh, it's just diapers, and that's it.

00:32:50.000 Go to your point, and then I have my point about the Gerald Ford Museum.

00:32:53.000 Oh, my point was just that it's a terrible hill, Gerald.

00:32:56.000 I don't really know.

00:32:58.000 I heard it a minute ago.

00:32:58.000 No, the Gerald Ford Museum is in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

00:33:01.000 I lived there for a very long time.

00:33:02.000 I thought you made it up.

00:33:03.000 No, no, no.

00:33:04.000 And it's sliced like a piece of pizza.

00:33:07.000 It's like a triangle.

00:33:08.000 So you go in and it's like, Gerald Ford, and it shows that he played football in Michigan.

00:33:11.000 And then by the end you walk back and there's just an Elvis exhibit.

00:33:15.000 What is this?

00:33:16.000 It has a picture of the Elvis guitar, but they don't even have the guitar.

00:33:20.000 This is less than Planet Hollywood.

00:33:22.000 You took pictures of actual displays and put them up, and this is a museum?

00:33:26.000 And it's sad, because Gerald Ford actually seemed like a supremely decent man, but he was just known for the pardon, so there's a little bit of time on the pardon, and then Elvis.

00:33:35.000 Videos of Chevy Chase falling.

00:33:38.000 It's not a very interesting museum, is my point.

00:33:42.000 Alright, here, let's go to this story.

00:33:45.000 Obama, Barack Obama, right, this turned out, and you were right about this, Bill, the lab in Wuhan, and I didn't want to peddle any conspiracies because I know that we'll get snoped here on the YouTube, we have to be really careful about that, even though it wasn't necessarily a conspiracy.

00:33:58.000 Turns out that Barack Obama actually The NIH, under his rule, they funded the Wuhan virology lab that ultimately leaked coronavirus to the world.

00:34:12.000 So we know that there was a lab going on right now.

00:34:15.000 We know that it may not have just come from a wet market.

00:34:17.000 That it could have come from a lab and gotten to the wet market, but we do know that the lab has something to do with this.

00:34:23.000 Let's go first to President Trump's response.

00:34:26.000 The Obama administration gave them a grant of $3.7 million.

00:34:29.000 I've been hearing about that.

00:34:31.000 And we've instructed that if any grants are going to that area, we're looking at it literally an hour ago, and also early in the morning.

00:34:42.000 We will end that grant very quickly.

00:34:43.000 But it was granted quite a while ago.

00:34:46.000 They were granted a substantial amount of money.

00:34:49.000 We're going to look at it and take a look.

00:34:51.000 But I understand it was a number of years ago, right?

00:34:55.000 What did you hear when the grant was met?

00:34:59.000 2015.

00:34:59.000 2015?

00:35:00.000 Who was president then, I wonder?

00:35:03.000 Oh! 0.60

00:35:03.000 You know he heard her the first time when he said the year and he's like, you know it! 0.60

00:35:07.000 What was the year again?

00:35:08.000 I will say this, Donald Trump doesn't tend to throw to the audience.

00:35:11.000 He's like a lawyer.

00:35:12.000 He never asks a question he doesn't know the answer to.

00:35:14.000 Where'd you hear it?

00:35:15.000 I know where you heard it.

00:35:17.000 Fat gay stelter! 1.00

00:35:20.000 What?

00:35:20.000 Who was president?

00:35:21.000 Do you know?

00:35:22.000 I just... I can't off the top... I don't know.

00:35:24.000 Oh, Baba!

00:35:28.000 That's exactly what he does.

00:35:29.000 He doesn't throw it out if he doesn't know the answer.

00:35:31.000 He's twisting the knife when he does that.

00:35:32.000 If he doesn't want someone room to play, he goes, excuse me, excuse me, excuse me.

00:35:35.000 That means he wants to control it.

00:35:36.000 When he asks you a question, you damn well better give him the right answer because he's going to give you the right answer.

00:35:41.000 Right.

00:35:41.000 Better be quick.

00:35:42.000 Better be quick.

00:35:43.000 I think there was only one more thing he could have done was like look in the camera and just mouth, Obama.

00:35:49.000 Next time.

00:35:50.000 That's for the next one.

00:35:51.000 Yeah, he's saving it.

00:35:51.000 I would have enjoyed that.

00:35:53.000 Birth certificate.

00:35:56.000 Don't think I forgot.

00:35:57.000 So there's some new documents that have been showing the labs, their experiments by both

00:36:02.000 the bat coronavirus concerned officials in 2018 and the United States stopped sending

00:36:08.000 assistance over to the lab.

00:36:10.000 Rightfully so.

00:36:11.000 In 2018.

00:36:12.000 So this is also important to note because this shows a sequence of actions, right, of

00:36:15.000 us having funded it at some point and then stopping it at another point and then, okay,

00:36:19.000 maybe people wanted to say we should start refunding.

00:36:21.000 I don't know exactly what's going on, what they're talking about on CNN right now.

00:36:24.000 Italy considering which antibody test to adopt for national.

00:36:26.000 Nobody cares.

00:36:27.000 The Obama administration, this is something else that is really disconcerting to me, they funneled $340 million to the UN Population Fund that of course helped with China's one-child policy, where of course women were hogtied and forced to abort.

00:36:39.000 So people don't know this, the one-child policy is basically a policy in China where they say you can only have one child because of population control.

00:36:45.000 I was at the Cancun Climate Summit, this is back when it was called the Kyoto Protocol as opposed to the, is it the Paris Agreement?

00:36:52.000 Paris Accord.

00:36:52.000 It was the Montreal Agreement, Kyoto Protocol, and now it's the Paris Accord.

00:36:56.000 They have to come up with different names each time.

00:36:57.000 But back when it was the Cancun Climate Summit, it was the Kyoto Protocol.

00:37:00.000 We even did a montage, everyone saying, Kyoto Protocol, Kyoto Protocol, because that was the buzzword of the day, and they all flew to Cancun because they couldn't do Zoom meetings, which now we know they should be doing!

00:37:11.000 You know, I do a Zoom meeting in my office, and I go there in a Hummer.

00:37:15.000 It equals out.

00:37:16.000 So I remember Ted Turner there praising China's one-child policy.

00:37:20.000 It was remarkable to me for someone there.

00:37:23.000 This just shows you that they are team world, team Gaia, and anti-human.

00:37:27.000 I think we should keep our stuff clean.

00:37:29.000 I think we shouldn't put... you guys know I want to keep the office clean.

00:37:32.000 I hate polluting.

00:37:33.000 When I see someone throw some trash out the window, I'm furious because there's no reason

00:37:37.000 to not put it in the trash can.

00:37:38.000 Not at all.

00:37:38.000 Of course we should do our best to be good stewards of what we have here on this earth.

00:37:44.000 That being said, people take priority.

00:37:47.000 And, back with the Kyoto Protocol, when you would have looked at the skyrocketing energy costs, that was the package that I did back then, it would be inconvenient for Americans, and it would thrust third world countries into a plague of death the likes of which they haven't seen in the modern world, because they too deserve Their industrial revolution. 0.97

00:38:02.000 So Barack Obama supported the one-child policy, funneling in millions, hundreds of millions, what is it, 300, how much money?

00:38:09.000 340 million.

00:38:11.000 I almost said 350.

00:38:11.000 You would have been wrong.

00:38:13.000 I almost used the rounding error, and then underneath this on the YouTube, it'll say, for all info on COVID-19, go to Washington Post and Snopes.

00:38:21.000 Right, exactly.

00:38:21.000 For Pinocchios, bitch!

00:38:23.000 Right around the same time, I guess, that this was happening, I saw a TED Talk on population control.

00:38:28.000 I'll tie this back into China's one-child policy.

00:38:30.000 You saw a TED Talk or you watched a TED Talk?

00:38:32.000 Were you a passerby?

00:38:34.000 Yeah, I saw it was happening.

00:38:36.000 I watched one in a live audience that was streaming, so it's all confusing.

00:38:42.000 While climbing a hill.

00:38:45.000 Gerald spotted from the crest of the summit.

00:38:49.000 Gerald and Gil got up the hill and then he died.

00:38:51.000 Yeah, it was a really small hill.

00:38:53.000 I was in a chair at the time.

00:38:55.000 And so in this presentation they had a chart and they said here are these different countries population per kind of family right like how many people that they have any kids that they have and what they said is we want to institute policies that push everybody into the bottom left which was near zero right or under one okay and the reason that I'm bringing this up is because that kind of policy led to China having the one child policy thinking it was a great idea but it would have the same effect on everybody else in the entire room I mean, this is how we should end the world, basically, because we aren't going to have enough kids to propagate anybody's culture anymore. 0.52

00:39:27.000 I think you have to have like 2.4, 2.5 per family to do that.

00:39:30.000 And everybody was cheering.

00:39:31.000 And that's really unfortunate for the kid who's only 0.4.

00:39:34.000 I'm sorry?

00:39:35.000 That's really unfortunate for the 0.4.

00:39:36.000 It is, yes.

00:39:37.000 They don't get to be a full child.

00:39:38.000 That comes with selective breeding and the midgets. 0.82

00:39:41.000 Nice.

00:39:42.000 How do you choose to give birth to a midget? 1.00

00:39:45.000 Difficult.

00:39:46.000 Science.

00:39:46.000 I guess my point is that it was a bad idea that the government was peddling back at that time as well.

00:39:49.000 So the Obama administration isn't just supporting the one-child policy.

00:39:53.000 It goes much further than that.

00:39:54.000 That was just one iteration of a bad idea.

00:39:56.000 And I guess your point was just a little boring.

00:39:58.000 It was.

00:40:00.000 Bill is asleep.

00:40:02.000 Jerk.

00:40:03.000 Gerald, you better just learn how to edit.

00:40:05.000 I tried.

00:40:06.000 I tried!

00:40:07.000 You guys threw me off my game with the whole hill and dying thing.

00:40:09.000 So, Gerald, that's a really good point.

00:40:16.000 Brevity is what you're saying.

00:40:18.000 One thing I also want to make sure, I'm getting this, he is the only president since Reagan, Barack Obama, to not cut off funding to the United Populations Fund.

00:40:25.000 So it's not like, oh, everyone did it and then everyone went along with it and Donald Trump put a stop to it, right?

00:40:25.000 Wow.

00:40:30.000 That would be nice if he was singularly unique.

00:40:32.000 No.

00:40:33.000 In this case, Barack Obama is the one who was unique.

00:40:35.000 He said, yeah, okay, one child, yeah, I'll fund it.

00:40:37.000 Hold on, who's that guy with the Bagger Vance haircut there on the left?

00:40:43.000 Sorry, Gibbon.

00:40:43.000 A very young Mitt Romney.

00:40:45.000 Congress close to deal for more small business aid.

00:40:49.000 I hope it doesn't include those pricks at Shake Shack!

00:40:51.000 Nope!

00:40:52.000 Would already be done if the Dems hadn't stood in the way of it.

00:40:54.000 God help me if five guys applies for a loan.

00:40:59.000 You know, it's funny, it's like all the people at Shake Shack were like, oh man, sweet, our payroll's gonna be, oh no it's not.

00:41:05.000 It's gone.

00:41:06.000 Gone.

00:41:07.000 You guys are not rehired, sorry.

00:41:09.000 Adios.

00:41:10.000 And forget about the never-ending peanuts.

00:41:12.000 At Five Guys.

00:41:13.000 They have that?

00:41:14.000 Yeah, Never Eat Peanuts.

00:41:15.000 Do we have some chat we want to go to?

00:41:17.000 Well, we do have our next segment ready to go.

00:41:19.000 Oh, our doctor?

00:41:21.000 Okay, well then we have some more stories.

00:41:22.000 We're going to talk about Dan Crenshaw after that.

00:41:24.000 A little bit more watching.

00:41:26.000 But we have him ready to go on the Skype?

00:41:28.000 We do.

00:41:28.000 Okay, so this is actually a new segment.

00:41:29.000 I want to be really clear.

00:41:31.000 For people out there, because people really had a positive reaction to this guest last time he was on here.

00:41:35.000 Absolutely, yeah.

00:41:36.000 My personal doctor, and he talked about COVID-19.

00:41:40.000 It was a very, I would say it was a very measured approach and a very balanced approach where we didn't need to panic, but we needed to take the proper precautions.

00:41:47.000 So a lot of you said we like him. We would like to see him more. And so this is a new segment with Dr. Choi that we'll

00:41:54.000 be implementing. We call it What's Up, Doc?

00:41:56.000 I'm Dr. Choi. I am a physician.

00:42:03.000 I am I am a Korean.

00:42:06.000 All right, Dr. Choi, are you there, sir?

00:42:09.000 Yes.

00:42:09.000 What's wrong with the audio?

00:42:11.000 Really?

00:42:12.000 It sounds like you can hear me, Dr. Choi.

00:42:14.000 I can hear you, yeah.

00:42:17.000 Not through my earpiece.

00:42:19.000 Can you hear me okay?

00:42:20.000 Yeah, we can hear you just fine.

00:42:21.000 There you go.

00:42:22.000 You're looking great, Chipper.

00:42:23.000 And I know you're on Pacific Time, so I appreciate you getting up early for us.

00:42:28.000 How is your practice going?

00:42:29.000 Last time we spoke with COVID-19, are you doing well?

00:42:31.000 You're keeping safe?

00:42:33.000 Yeah, I mean, we're still kind of semi-lockdown, so only the essential businesses are open.

00:42:40.000 So, I mean, we are considered essential, so we're open, but I'm not seeing any routine visits.

00:42:45.000 Right.

00:42:46.000 That does make it, you know, dangerous for the patients.

00:42:49.000 So we're just seeing urgent visits.

00:42:52.000 Okay.

00:42:53.000 And just taking a lot of phone calls from the patients.

00:42:56.000 and testing some patients.

00:42:58.000 Are you making sure that they're wiping off the phone, the phones after they, when you talk with them on the phone,

00:43:02.000 do you make sure that they sanitize the phone?

00:43:04.000 Because that's the dirtiest place in your...

00:43:06.000 I tell the patients to sanitize their cell phones multiple times throughout the day.

00:43:12.000 Well, that's good.

00:43:12.000 That's a good precaution to take.

00:43:13.000 That's why you're my doctor.

00:43:15.000 So, you know what we're going to be doing?

00:43:17.000 Actually, some people here at the office, Dr. Choi, they don't all have health insurance yet.

00:43:23.000 So, actually, quarterback Garrett, I believe, had some questions for you about a current condition.

00:43:32.000 Yeah, I'm not sure what it is yet, so I'm hoping you can transcribe it.

00:43:34.000 Okay, a condition that he has, and so Dr. Choi is aware.

00:43:36.000 We've sent, uh, we've sent a picture, Dr. Choi, I believe, to his email, AudioWade?

00:43:40.000 To his phone.

00:43:41.000 To his phone, um, and, uh, QuarterBlackGear, just give him a briefer here, uh, what it is, and we can show it to the audience so they know.

00:43:48.000 Well, I'm experiencing some abnormal discharge from my lower region.

00:43:55.000 And since this is a big thing now, too, is tele-visits with doctors.

00:43:59.000 So we want to see... I'm trying to help it out.

00:44:01.000 Also, I'm having some severe burning from Yes, whenever I and dr. Choi you do this a lot on Skype and

00:44:09.000 you do tele visits like zoom visits with people Especially during this emergency based on the picture that

00:44:14.000 you have there and Garrett listing kind of some of his symptoms

00:44:17.000 What do we think is going on? Oh No

00:44:24.000 Yeah, you got the picture yeah It looks like it's TDE.

00:44:28.000 I'm confused.

00:44:28.000 Okay, we can show it to the audience here real quick so they can see.

00:44:32.000 And he said discharge and burning, Dr. Choi.

00:44:36.000 What do we think might be going on here?

00:44:38.000 It looks like STD.

00:44:40.000 Really?

00:44:41.000 Oh.

00:44:42.000 Wait, hold on a second.

00:44:43.000 Hold on a second.

00:44:44.000 That doesn't make sense.

00:44:45.000 Do we know how or what kind?

00:44:47.000 I guess what questions would you have for Garrett here that might be able to clarify

00:44:51.000 what's going on?

00:44:52.000 I'm confused.

00:44:53.000 Well, one, is he sexually active?

00:44:54.000 If he is sexually active, is he monogamous or does he have multiple sex partners?

00:45:03.000 Monogamous.

00:45:04.000 Are you sure?

00:45:04.000 Yeah.

00:45:05.000 100%.

00:45:06.000 You're not on a swing or anything?

00:45:06.000 Okay.

00:45:07.000 Nope.

00:45:07.000 No?

00:45:08.000 Alright.

00:45:08.000 He's saying one partner needs monogamous, Dr. Choi.

00:45:12.000 And for how long?

00:45:13.000 For as long as ever.

00:45:16.000 I've only ever had one.

00:45:17.000 Because they only had sex with one person for two months.

00:45:20.000 But then they may have another sex partner two months ago.

00:45:23.000 Nope.

00:45:24.000 Just one.

00:45:25.000 Wow.

00:45:27.000 Is there anything else?

00:45:28.000 What kind of an STD do we think it could be, Dr. Choi?

00:45:30.000 What part of the body is this?

00:45:41.000 Quarterback Garrett?

00:45:42.000 It's around my anus.

00:45:44.000 Oh, okay.

00:45:45.000 He's saying it's around his posterior.

00:45:48.000 I try to use the technical term for clarity.

00:45:52.000 So does that help hone in on what it could be?

00:45:55.000 Because STDs... You also have to worry about anal cancer when you have growth there.

00:46:05.000 Usually occurs in people who engage in anal sex.

00:46:10.000 Oh, okay.

00:46:10.000 That's not the case.

00:46:11.000 I don't know about that quarter black Garrett. 1.00

00:46:13.000 Okay.

00:46:14.000 So your official diet, it seems like you would probably need doctor, you would probably need quarter black Garrett to come in and maybe do a full physical to. 0.85

00:46:20.000 Yeah.

00:46:21.000 Correct.

00:46:22.000 I mean, take the history like we're doing right now and then examine the patient and remove the lesion and a check warrant.

00:46:30.000 Okay.

00:46:31.000 So there's a discharge.

00:46:32.000 Like a biopsy?

00:46:33.000 And then of course if there's a urethral discharge, then you have to take a sample of that.

00:46:38.000 Except for other STDs like chlamydia, gonorrhea, HIV, potentially anal cancer.

00:46:46.000 HSV herpes simplex virus.

00:46:48.000 Okay.

00:46:48.000 That's a lot.

00:46:49.000 There's a lot of things in that list.

00:46:51.000 Chondeloma also.

00:46:52.000 Oh, wow.

00:46:53.000 That sounds... This looks like anal warts.

00:46:56.000 Okay.

00:46:56.000 Oh.

00:46:57.000 General warts.

00:46:57.000 Okay.

00:46:58.000 Well, we have to blur it for YouTube, so they can't see, but we appreciate that.

00:47:01.000 And if there are people at home, Dr. Choi, who might be suffering, because this is a big part of the show, you know, we have lots of people watching who might be suffering from something similar.

00:47:08.000 What precautions should they take to avoid this?

00:47:11.000 And what should they do if they think they're feeling some of the symptoms like cordoblack garret?

00:47:16.000 Well, one, Obviously this is sexually transmitted, so if you want to avoid it, abstain from sex.

00:47:24.000 If not, make sure you use your protection.

00:47:29.000 Birth control pills do not protect you against STDs.

00:47:32.000 It's got to be a barrier, a physical barrier, so a condom. 0.99

00:47:37.000 And two, be monogamous.

00:47:40.000 Be conservative with your sexual practices.

00:47:43.000 So have one partner.

00:47:48.000 And then if you have symptoms, you've got to talk to your partners and you've got to actually come and see your doctor and get tested.

00:47:55.000 Okay.

00:47:55.000 Because the most common STD in this country is chlamydia and gonorrhea.

00:48:00.000 Chlamydia and then the gonorrhea.

00:48:02.000 So that's why we always check the chlamydia and gonorrhea together.

00:48:05.000 Okay.

00:48:05.000 And if you don't treat this in time, then it can actually become more systemic.

00:48:09.000 With the gonorrhea you can't even get meningitis, you know, infection in the brain.

00:48:14.000 Which is a rare complication, but it can happen.

00:48:17.000 Which is very dangerous.

00:48:18.000 So you want to get these treated.

00:48:19.000 I think I'm just going to go with it.

00:48:20.000 I'm just going to run with it.

00:48:21.000 And you also want your partners to be treated.

00:48:23.000 Yes.

00:48:24.000 Well, I promise you, we will have Corporate Blackberry go in for an examination.

00:48:27.000 No, absolutely.

00:48:28.000 You have to.

00:48:29.000 It's boss's orders at this point.

00:48:30.000 orders at this point. I'm the shake shack right now and I'm determining payroll. We

00:48:31.000 I'm the shake shack. 0.96

00:48:32.000 I don't think any of this is good.

00:48:33.000 I'm the shake shack right now, and I'm determining payroll.

00:48:35.000 We appreciate it, Dr. Choi.

00:48:35.000 appreciate it Dr. Choi. Anything else that you want to let people know out there to stay

00:48:37.000 Anything else that you want to let people know out there to stay safe with the COVID-19?

00:48:38.000 safe with the COVID-19?

00:48:39.000 Well, you know, we're still on a lockdown, I think, as an entire country.

00:48:39.000 Well, you know, we're still on a lockdown I think as an entire country and I think that

00:48:45.000 And I think that is very prudent right now.

00:48:47.000 is very prudent right now and we are, we seem like we're getting over the hump but if we're

00:48:49.000 And we are, we seem like we're getting over the hump.

00:48:55.000 not very careful right now then we can have a second wave.

00:48:59.000 Right, okay.

00:49:00.000 So we need to be very careful in social distancing, social distancing, wash your hands, wear your

00:49:04.000 masks. Now the CDC, the government said the general public should wear the mask when they're

00:49:10.000 in crowded places. So wear the mask and be safe out there and don't go out unless you

00:49:17.000 Right.

00:49:17.000 And those same rules should probably apply to Quarterback Garrett across the board.

00:49:21.000 Dr. Choi, thank you so much for being with us.

00:49:23.000 We can let him go.

00:49:23.000 We really appreciate it.

00:49:24.000 We'll have you back soon.

00:49:25.000 This has been What's Up, Doc?

00:49:31.000 I'm Dr. Choi.

00:49:35.000 I am a Korean.

00:49:37.000 Oh, right.

00:49:38.000 I lost a lot of respect for Garrett.

00:49:40.000 I don't believe any of those things.

00:49:42.000 I think he's a quack.

00:49:43.000 Hey, Garrett.

00:49:44.000 You're a great person.

00:49:45.000 Listen, we love you no matter what, but take the color bars off my screen here.

00:49:51.000 All I'm looking at are color bars on my screen, because when I see people calling by Skype, then it goes to weird color bars.

00:49:56.000 I want to ask him a question.

00:49:57.000 When people drive around in their cars with their mask on, is that effective?

00:50:01.000 Yeah, right?

00:50:02.000 That's like the dumbest thing that I've seen.

00:50:04.000 You got in your car, in the garage, drove somewhere, got out for two seconds.

00:50:08.000 The corona is in the backseat.

00:50:10.000 It's got to be in the car.

00:50:11.000 You never know.

00:50:12.000 I saw someone driving, but then they would take down their mask to vape.

00:50:19.000 It was one of those motorcyclist masks where it had like the skull and crossbones.

00:50:22.000 I was like, well come on, you just want to dress like the bully from Karate Kid.

00:50:27.000 This isn't a medical device.

00:50:28.000 I love it.

00:50:29.000 That's not FDA compliant.

00:50:31.000 That's the Karate Kid costume.

00:50:35.000 Alright, by the way, hey, hit the notification bell if you are subscribed on the YouTube and you're watching on YouTube right now.

00:50:40.000 Hit all notifications because Apparently, just the notifications don't mean a whole lot.

00:50:44.000 And, of course, subscribe on Apple, iTunes, I guess they don't do iTunes anymore, Spotify, wherever they're sold.

00:50:50.000 And do consider joining MugClub.

00:50:52.000 Loudmouthcounter.com slash MugClub Quarantine is the promo code.

00:50:55.000 You get $30 off.

00:50:56.000 It's the only thing that keeps us going.

00:50:58.000 As well as Trotter Bits has been doing pretty well for us lately, too.

00:50:59.000 Yeah, fantastic.

00:51:00.000 Fun little spot.

00:51:00.000 So we appreciate that.

00:51:02.000 Okay, so then I guess the last story we should talk about here is Dan Crenshaw.

00:51:08.000 Oh, my hero.

00:51:09.000 Whoopin' it, man.

00:51:11.000 Your hero?

00:51:12.000 He's doing a fantastic job.

00:51:13.000 He's an American hero.

00:51:14.000 He's an American hero, Stephen.

00:51:15.000 Not only does he die in Hells, he doesn't take lifelines when offered them.

00:51:15.000 This is a good example.

00:51:19.000 Like, you could just say, like, I said, you're a hero?

00:51:20.000 You'd be like, well, I mean, I admire him.

00:51:22.000 But you stuck with my hero.

00:51:22.000 I didn't back down.

00:51:24.000 I didn't back down, Stephen.

00:51:26.000 I do like, I do how, like, sometimes we'll try to move on.

00:51:29.000 But then Gerald will just wait.

00:51:30.000 Bring it right back.

00:51:31.000 And then just, like, sneak it back in again.

00:51:33.000 And we're like, oh man.

00:51:35.000 I have a few more points on this.

00:51:37.000 Yeah, no, no, no.

00:51:38.000 Hold on, hold on.

00:51:38.000 I have a few more shovels.

00:51:39.000 I have exhibit A-A-A.

00:51:42.000 Are you in with, like, the Gotti family where you're trying to shave points off this show?

00:51:50.000 No.

00:51:51.000 Gerald, I want in on that.

00:51:53.000 Listen, Gerald, just make it go an extra 20 minutes.

00:51:59.000 You don't gotta get them banned or demonetized.

00:52:01.000 All I'm saying is just make it go a little while longer.

00:52:04.000 If they want to move on to something relevant, you pull them back a little bit.

00:52:08.000 He's got an over-under on likes and dislikes, right?

00:52:11.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:52:12.000 It's like, we gotta cover the spread here, guys.

00:52:15.000 It's a bear market.

00:52:17.000 Alright.

00:52:18.000 Like mobsters don't bear in bull market. 0.97

00:52:20.000 I'm sure they do.

00:52:21.000 You can tell I know a lot about the world of sports betting.

00:52:23.000 Now he's defending the mob.

00:52:26.000 Gerald, you're like the worst undercover mob guy.

00:52:30.000 Wise men do.

00:52:31.000 You know what?

00:52:32.000 I wonder if the mob is really pissed about Silicon Valley, because they're effectively like the new mob right now.

00:52:37.000 When you look at Google, Twitter, Facebook, they can just step in and destroy your stuff.

00:52:41.000 So I wonder if the mob has their claws into the digital space at all, because that would be interesting.

00:52:46.000 That would be very interesting.

00:52:47.000 Or do you think they're proud?

00:52:48.000 Like, ah, my little babies.

00:52:49.000 What are you talking about?

00:52:50.000 They grow up so fast.

00:52:50.000 The mob.

00:52:51.000 Oh, the mob?

00:52:51.000 Yeah, they taught Silicon Valley so well.

00:52:53.000 So Dan Crenshaw was on with Bill Maher.

00:52:54.000 I will say this about Bill Maher.

00:52:56.000 They were just, they had, they were bait.

00:52:57.000 I didn't know what I was thinking, honestly.

00:52:59.000 I'm still distracted by your eagle cancer.

00:53:01.000 Don't talk, don't bring it up.

00:53:02.000 It hurts just talking about it.

00:53:02.000 Don't bring it up.

00:53:05.000 Monogamous, huh? 0.99

00:53:06.000 100%.

00:53:07.000 Do we need to get him a donut?

00:53:08.000 Uh, yeah, yeah.

00:53:09.000 I'm sitting on one right now.

00:53:10.000 He's sitting on a donut.

00:53:12.000 Okay, so Dan Crenshaw was on with Bill Maher.

00:53:14.000 And I will say this about Bill Maher.

00:53:17.000 I don't have a whole lot of respect for him.

00:53:19.000 So, there are people who are funny on the left, and like Jon Stewart was one of them.

00:53:24.000 Stephen Colbert at one point was one of them.

00:53:25.000 Bill Maher, you see this when he doesn't have a crowd.

00:53:27.000 And I will say this, I've witnessed many a time people who've gone to Bill Maher's show and had to deal with the crowd.

00:53:34.000 They are very much like trained seals.

00:53:36.000 Every crowd has a crowd animator, right, with an applause sign and a laugh sign, all that.

00:53:41.000 They have a warm-up act.

00:53:42.000 But Bill Maher, it's very, very clear that you are Team Bill Maher and not anybody else there, provided that they, in fact, are backing up Bill Maher.

00:53:51.000 like Essie Cutler, then it makes a point that reiterates like what Bill Maher said, okay,

00:53:55.000 you're allowed to clap because she effectively was re-communicating Bill Maher's point, but

00:54:00.000 anything else, not allowed.

00:54:03.000 And you see it very clearly when he's trying to do this stuff from home now, without the

00:54:07.000 audience because Bill Maher's thing, he has like kind of like Janine Garofalo, right?

00:54:09.000 It's like a, like, men.

00:54:13.000 And everyone laughs.

00:54:14.000 Bill Maher has this, where he does the hand, and that's the cue for you to laugh.

00:54:18.000 That's his cue, because when he does this, when he says, you know, and when you look at Republicans, really, they're all closeted homosexuals, these people. 0.86

00:54:28.000 And everyone goes, oh!

00:54:32.000 But then he does this, to silence, and you're like, he just looks kinda stelter-ish.

00:54:35.000 A little feminine. 0.83

00:54:36.000 Looks a little bit stelter-ish here.

00:54:38.000 And it doesn't work, and so I also think maybe it's been hurting his confidence?

00:54:42.000 Because he had Dan Crenshaw on the show, and Representative Dan Crenshaw, who's a friend of the show, and of course I want to be very clear, Representative Dan Crenshaw, very nice man, cordial, I don't agree with him on everything, but cordial, respectful, and of course, not a homosexual, but you would be confused from this clip because it's tantamount to rape. 0.72

00:54:42.000 Yeah. 0.72

00:55:01.000 Very close, yeah.

00:55:02.000 I felt like I was watching an episode of Oz.

00:55:06.000 It's more of a power thing, really.

00:55:08.000 If Oz had taken heart like an upstate Maine, whereas two whiter guys. 0.90

00:55:14.000 So here is Dan Crenshaw talking with Bill Maher.

00:55:18.000 And to be clear, the context here, I don't know if we have it in the clip, Bill Maher said, I want to talk about the issues and stop covering tweets and stop covering social media.

00:55:25.000 Let's talk about what's actually going on.

00:55:27.000 The second that Dan Crenshaw decided, All right, let's play by these rules.

00:55:32.000 Bill Maher tries to zigzag and faster than Gerald can die in a hill.

00:55:35.000 Let's watch.

00:55:36.000 There are still people coming in from China.

00:55:40.000 Let me address that because I know that's that's what people are saying right now.

00:55:43.000 But the reality is that was about 40,000 people came in after that.

00:55:47.000 These are US citizens and green card holders and passport holders being repatriated.

00:55:52.000 citizens.

00:55:52.000 U.S.

00:55:53.000 So you have to make the argument, then, that we shouldn't allow them in. 0.85

00:55:58.000 It sounds to me like you're fully agreeing with President Trump on this when everybody else disagreed with him.

00:56:03.000 And if you're saying that you wish that that travel restriction had been more extreme...

00:56:08.000 Look at him, he's looking off, he's like, someone help me!

00:56:10.000 Look at him, look at him!

00:56:11.000 Love it.

00:56:11.000 I don't know what he just did, but the fact is, Joe Biden was in charge at that moment.

00:56:16.000 He's already said he wouldn't have done it.

00:56:17.000 He criticized it at the time.

00:56:19.000 Nancy Pelosi actually proposed legislation to stop it. 0.94

00:56:23.000 He said anyone who wants a test can get it, which is still completely...

00:56:29.000 Completely wrong.

00:56:30.000 Because you mentioned February 25th.

00:56:32.000 The day before, February 24th, that's when the administration requested two and a half billion dollars from Congress.

00:56:37.000 Oh shit, Dan Crenshaw brought receipts.

00:56:41.000 To combat the virus and the potential spread of it.

00:56:44.000 What happened right then?

00:56:46.000 I'll tell you because I was in Congress and I know what happened.

00:56:48.000 Did we vote on a supplemental funding bill?

00:56:50.000 No.

00:56:51.000 Did we wait days to vote?

00:56:52.000 No, still didn't vote on it.

00:56:54.000 You know what we voted on later that week?

00:56:56.000 Nancy Pelosi, the only thing she would put on the floor to vote on was a bill to ban flavored tobacco. 1.00

00:57:01.000 That's what actually happened.

00:57:03.000 It was only a week later.

00:57:04.000 Notice, by the way, they go full screen away from Bill right now.

00:57:09.000 He's going, GREAT!

00:57:09.000 Is the goal to make Trump look bad or is the goal to get to the truth?

00:57:13.000 Because there's two different sets of answers for that.

00:57:15.000 Well, without the audience, I don't know how to answer that.

00:57:19.000 By the way, that is a legitimate eyepatch, Bill Maher.

00:57:22.000 He didn't buy that at a novelty sex shop.

00:57:23.000 I know you think that he may have after that, that it was just to, well, you know, because of the rape.

00:57:28.000 So my point is, it was as thorough of a debunking as you can...

00:57:34.000 I will say this, Dan Crenshaw is not always that way.

00:57:36.000 He's been on our show and I felt like sometimes he didn't necessarily give the answers that I would have liked to have heard, but this was incredible because I think this is a perfect example when you see Bill Maher here with Dan Crenshaw.

00:57:46.000 Bill Maher is used to this working.

00:57:48.000 Because he's surrounded by people with whom it works.

00:57:51.000 And now you take those people away because of the quarantine

00:57:54.000 and he thinks going, well Donald Trump didn't do enough.

00:57:57.000 Anyone who has looked at the timeline, anyone who's followed the timeline,

00:58:00.000 anyone who saw Donald Trump present that petty, childish, and perfect video

00:58:04.000 at his presser with the timeline knows what actually happened.

00:58:08.000 Knows that you had de Blasio and Nancy Pelosi encouraging people to go out and eat in Chinatown.

00:58:12.000 Knows that there was a China travel ban.

00:58:14.000 Knows that obviously they were looking for testing earlier and they tried to send in people from the CDC.

00:58:19.000 They know this.

00:58:20.000 But Bill Maher wants to focus on mean tweets and it works with people around him when presented with evidence.

00:58:25.000 They're irrefutable evidence.

00:58:26.000 You may not like Dan Crenshaw.

00:58:27.000 You may prefer Bill Maher.

00:58:28.000 It is undeniable in this instance that Dan Crenshaw was correct, and Bill Maher was incorrect.

00:58:35.000 Absolutely, and Dan Crenshaw's point is that we were working with information that we had.

00:58:39.000 There's this big thing out there right now that everybody knew all this was going to happen.

00:58:43.000 In February, everybody, we lost February, this whole last month, and he made this point.

00:58:46.000 Italy didn't start closing their country until later. Spain didn't do it until later as well.

00:58:52.000 In March, yeah.

00:58:52.000 We didn't know exactly what was going on.

00:58:54.000 We were gathering information and trying to do everything we could to prevent it spreading with what we knew, but that was it.

00:58:59.000 What did we have, like 125 cases?

00:59:01.000 Well, then they try to slip it, and they go, well, that's just because we didn't have testing.

00:59:04.000 Okay, the point is, when you say, well, why didn't we shut things down earlier?

00:59:07.000 Because there were only 100 cases, or maybe at this point, depending on what you're talking, the timeline, no deaths, or even if there are a couple hundred cases, even if there are a thousand cases, you think that the American public would have stood for a shutdown?

00:59:19.000 At all?

00:59:19.000 And then they respond with, well, that's because we didn't have enough tests.

00:59:22.000 That's irrelevant to the point that you were saying we should have shut down when we only had 100 cases that we had tested for.

00:59:27.000 Sure, would have been nice had we had tests earlier.

00:59:29.000 Would have been nice had we partnered with private industry earlier as opposed to relying on the CDC.

00:59:33.000 Would have been nice if we had private industry stepping up and making masks and protective gear and ventilators like they're doing now when the government has screwed up so the private sector is picking up the slack.

00:59:41.000 Would have been nice for all of those things, absolutely.

00:59:43.000 But that's not what you said.

00:59:44.000 You said, Why didn't they start a quarantine or stay-at-home order earlier because there were only 100 cases, at which time your folks were saying, go on down and eat cat and a stick in Chinatown? 0.96

00:59:55.000 Yeah, and right after President Trump did the travel ban, Nancy Pelosi introduced a bill that would have prevented him from introducing any more bans. 0.98

01:00:02.000 I don't know if you remember that.

01:00:03.000 I know.

01:00:03.000 It was like the no-ban bill.

01:00:05.000 It was like, what?

01:00:05.000 Right.

01:00:06.000 Are you serious?

01:00:07.000 Well, and keep in mind, too, again, they're playing politics with this, where they thought they could seize upon the travel ban from China, trying to compare it with the Muslim ban, which, by the way, was from seven countries designated by Barack Obama.

01:00:16.000 So they were going, oh, I know.

01:00:17.000 We made this sound like a Muslim ban, when really it was a temporary moratorium on people coming from these countries that were hotbeds for terrorism. 0.66

01:00:24.000 We were able to make that work.

01:00:25.000 Let's do the same thing and try and tie this China ban right now to xenophobia.

01:00:31.000 As Joe Biden said.

01:00:32.000 Joe Biden said he wouldn't have done it.

01:00:33.000 He said that he thought it was racist.

01:00:34.000 It was xenophobic.

01:00:35.000 They tried to present a bill to stop it because, politically, they thought they could damage Donald Trump.

01:00:40.000 Screw up!

01:00:40.000 You screwed up!

01:00:41.000 You screwed up!

01:00:42.000 You screwed up and your constituents screwed up.

01:00:44.000 They trusted you.

01:00:45.000 That's it.

01:00:46.000 End of story.

01:00:47.000 Let's move on.

01:00:48.000 It is remarkable to me when I tune into these leftist shows.

01:00:51.000 I'm like, but that's not the timeline at all.

01:00:52.000 No, no.

01:00:53.000 And I just appreciate that Dan Crenshaw did this.

01:00:56.000 He did another video as well I think that just kind of had the same kind of points in it.

01:00:59.000 I think that's why he was so well prepared and he just didn't stop.

01:01:02.000 He wouldn't let Bill Maher chime back in because he's like, look, you've got to say this this entire spiel on what's been going on.

01:01:08.000 None of that's true.

01:01:09.000 Right.

01:01:09.000 Here are the facts and just laid it out very clearly.

01:01:11.000 I do like the idea that Bill Maher being stripped bare of the audience to jump in and laugh.

01:01:16.000 Because all it would take for him is to do the hand flip, even when someone else is talking,

01:01:20.000 and the audience laughs and cuts off the speaker.

01:01:23.000 But not in this format.

01:01:24.000 And if it doesn't as well, he can still cut it.

01:01:27.000 That's another thing too.

01:01:28.000 I had a producer at Fox talk about how funny they thought Chelsea Handler was. 0.99

01:01:32.000 And I was like, no.

01:01:36.000 That's just not my thing.

01:01:37.000 I remember talking about, because at the time I thought Red Eye was a great show and talking about how I really wish that it had more viewers and had more kind of promo behind it.

01:01:44.000 This person was talking about how they thought Chelsea Handler was really funny.

01:01:46.000 I said, well, you know, the reason comedians don't really respect Chelsea Handler, and not only comedians, but actual hosts out there and entertainers, is because she would tape, you know, an hour and run a half hour. 0.99

01:01:55.000 Um, and it's the same thing with Bill Maher.

01:01:57.000 He will tape and then he'll edit it down.

01:01:58.000 And so I do think that everybody out there, if you're going to do a mainstream show, particularly in front of a live audience where you don't have control over the cameras, you should have some kind of a recording device.

01:02:06.000 If you're in a state where it's legal.

01:02:07.000 Because they do try and catch you and change the context.

01:02:10.000 And that just doesn't fly anymore.

01:02:12.000 And he can't do that when he's on Skype.

01:02:14.000 And I think he probably would have wanted to do it, but had he done it, he probably knows that it's not all that hard for Dan Crenshaw to hit screen record.

01:02:22.000 Even with the depth, obviously, challenges.

01:02:23.000 He can still find that button.

01:02:26.000 He just needs to put it in dark mode.

01:02:27.000 Definitely.

01:02:28.000 Easy.

01:02:29.000 By the way, don't you love that we got in trouble for, uh... Can I say that we got in trouble for saying that Dan Crenshaw looked like an angry pirate?

01:02:35.000 Who got mad at us?

01:02:36.000 People on the left!

01:02:37.000 People on the left, yeah!

01:02:38.000 We forced people on the left to defend Dan Crenshaw?

01:02:41.000 I can't remember if it was Twitter or YouTube, but that was an actual quote.

01:02:47.000 You mean when he was on the show?!

01:02:50.000 You're offended for him?!

01:02:53.000 You know we also get made fun of.

01:02:54.000 For the jokes that I tell about Asians. 1.00

01:02:57.000 Really?

01:02:58.000 Yeah.

01:02:58.000 Do you get made fun of or do you get read the riot?

01:02:59.000 No, no, no.

01:03:00.000 People are like, well, that's clearly a violation.

01:03:03.000 Is your Chinese social score going down?

01:03:05.000 No, no, it's going up, because I'm a spy.

01:03:06.000 Come on, man.

01:03:08.000 So it counterbalances.

01:03:09.000 It counterbalances.

01:03:11.000 That's what McCarthy was talking about.

01:03:13.000 Let's go to some chats before, and then I'll close with a little bit of Inside Baseball, speaking about Fox News.

01:03:18.000 So we have a chat from Thad.

01:03:20.000 Love what you guys are doing.

01:03:22.000 Now that I'm a Mug Club member, I can talk with you guys.

01:03:24.000 When do you see the states start reopening?

01:03:27.000 Well, they already are.

01:03:28.000 Some states.

01:03:29.000 Yeah.

01:03:30.000 I mean, I think some people, again, this is because of the presentation of the left.

01:03:33.000 They've tried to make it sound as though it's a total reopening or a total shutdown.

01:03:37.000 No, what you're seeing happening is beaches where people can go for exercise.

01:03:41.000 They still need to practice social distancing.

01:03:43.000 I mean, read the three-phase plan out there that you can see.

01:03:47.000 It's a very, very reasonable approach.

01:03:48.000 And you're seeing this in quite a few states where they are easing some restrictions for businesses and then gradually moving to, rather than determining what is an essential business, determining what is non-essential.

01:03:59.000 essential.

01:04:00.000 Yeah, exactly.

01:04:01.000 Did I just reverse it?

01:04:02.000 I don't care.

01:04:03.000 Whatever.

01:04:04.000 I think May 1st is probably what you're going to see a lot of states use.

01:04:06.000 That was the original end of this period of shutting down to begin with, and so I think

01:04:10.000 a lot of states are just going to kind of play it safe for a few more days and then

01:04:13.000 start gradually opening, and then May 1st will be the day people start opening up a

01:04:16.000 bit more.

01:04:17.000 The day what?

01:04:18.000 The day that people will start opening up other businesses.

01:04:21.000 There's no question that it's going to be, I mean, first of all, you've got a lot of different states that have a lot of different, you know, kind of political purposes and what they're going to do in different economies that are affected in different ways.

01:04:30.000 But not only that, you have a vast diversity of, you know, areas within the states themselves, right?

01:04:34.000 The counties or the cities.

01:04:36.000 And when you look at the more rural areas, there's no reason why, just given the nature of those areas, they can't ease the restrictions a little bit more.

01:04:42.000 Right.

01:04:43.000 But it requires attention.

01:04:44.000 There's no headlines.

01:04:45.000 There's nothing sexy about saying, OK, here are certain areas that we're going to do and here are certain businesses and certain locations.

01:04:51.000 None of that is going to be headlines.

01:04:52.000 None of that's going to be CNN.

01:04:53.000 None of that's going to be, you know, everyone panic or, oh, it's open or all the way closed.

01:04:57.000 He doesn't have time for that.

01:04:58.000 He hit the wall.

01:04:59.000 He can't see through the tears.

01:05:02.000 He can't go on any longer.

01:05:04.000 Yes, and I think you're right, Gerald, that by May 1st you're going to see more of those things start to implement.

01:05:09.000 And what people should not be looking at is, is this a complete open or not complete open, right?

01:05:14.000 I would tell you that any state that says, we pull back all the restrictions, everyone go down to your local stadium and pack in, right?

01:05:21.000 No one's doing that.

01:05:23.000 But you would think that that's what was happening based on the way the reporting is going.

01:05:26.000 That's a good point.

01:05:28.000 We have a related chat, actually.

01:05:29.000 Zach from Michigan, just talking about Governor Whitmer.

01:05:32.000 He said he's just curious if I take my fishing boat out and receive a fine, is this something that they can actually do, or is there any legal action that could be taken for denying my constitutional rights slash freedom, considering we do live in the USA?

01:05:45.000 That is an interesting question.

01:05:46.000 Bill, what would happen, let's say someone took a fishing boat out and were given a fine?

01:05:50.000 So I don't follow Michigan law, because I don't care.

01:05:55.000 But here's the reality, right?

01:05:56.000 Every county has their own rules, and if the rules are there, and they're written, and they're clear, and they're being communicated, you should follow those rules.

01:06:03.000 Here's the practical effect.

01:06:04.000 Let's say it's unconstitutional.

01:06:05.000 You and your boat.

01:06:06.000 You're gonna go hire a lawyer and fight for, you know, spend $50,000, $100,000, $200,000, $50,000 litigating your right to go out in a boat?

01:06:13.000 Maybe, maybe not, right?

01:06:14.000 I mean, it's a tough situation.

01:06:16.000 But that's the practical reality and the impact of these laws is, you know, they'll have governors and You know, county commissioners and mayors will just go, well, let's just go ahead and write this law.

01:06:26.000 We're going to write a three-page law, and we're just going to say, nobody can go out and do this thing without actually thinking about what the practical impact of that is.

01:06:33.000 So in that situation, you should follow the law.

01:06:36.000 And even if you think it's unconstitutional, you're probably going to have a bigger problem just disobeying it.

01:06:40.000 And more sheriffs.

01:06:42.000 I would support you guys flagrantly disregarding the unconstitutional regulations from the governor.

01:06:46.000 That's the place where we need to get more guidance is the local politicians.

01:06:51.000 We talked about this before.

01:06:52.000 When they decide to go and a sheriff says, I'm not going to follow the governor's rule because I think it's unconstitutional, they are putting their dicks on the line right there in that moment and saying, we're not going to prosecute it in this county, which is fine.

01:07:06.000 We're not going to arrest people in this county.

01:07:07.000 They may face consequences.

01:07:09.000 They may be ousted.

01:07:10.000 And it's a horrible position to put sheriffs in.

01:07:13.000 People who are the kind of police officers who you want out there.

01:07:16.000 And I get it.

01:07:17.000 Not all cops are perfect and not all cops are bad guys.

01:07:20.000 Let's be really clear about that.

01:07:21.000 They're human beings like any other profession.

01:07:22.000 But the kind of cops who you want taking that oath are the kind of police officers and sheriffs that you see in Leelanau and Manistee County.

01:07:30.000 I know there were a few in northern Michigan.

01:07:32.000 Those are the kinds of police officers you want because they're saying, hey, listen, I don't want this authority.

01:07:36.000 I shouldn't, I'm not granted this authority to tell people that they can't use their fishing boat.

01:07:40.000 I'm not going to fine them because I am here to uphold the constitutional law of the United States.

01:07:45.000 It's a horrible position to put those kinds of officers, the kinds of officers and sheriffs who we want out there in when you demand that they enforce unconstitutional regulations.

01:07:56.000 And that might discourage people from becoming police officers in the future who you want being cops.

01:08:01.000 You end up with nothing but mall cops and rent-a-cops who are on a power trip.

01:08:05.000 We don't want that.

01:08:06.000 We want sheriffs who say, I don't want to exercise this authority.

01:08:09.000 And you know, we call this the Batman investigation rule.

01:08:13.000 For anyone who follows comics, there's this running joke in the comic books that they would have a Batman task force and it would be like the most junior, blind, deaf Helen Keller detective in a room without any lights.

01:08:27.000 And they're like, alright, go get him!

01:08:29.000 Yeah, go find him.

01:08:30.000 They didn't want to get him.

01:08:31.000 And that is within the discretion.

01:08:33.000 There is the ability to say, oh yeah, we're upholding it, and we got our best guy on it.

01:08:39.000 Yeah, we're doing it, right?

01:08:41.000 Helen Keller, how's it going over there?

01:08:43.000 I mean, you just don't put your energy into it.

01:08:45.000 Now, of course, if you're flagrantly violating the law in front of a cop, now you've put that cop on the spot.

01:08:50.000 Right.

01:08:50.000 No, of course.

01:08:51.000 You know what I'm saying?

01:08:52.000 And you're not even giving them an opportunity to look the other way.

01:08:55.000 No, exactly.

01:08:56.000 And there's a prosecutorial discretion even at the attorney, the DAs and that kind of thing.

01:09:00.000 So you know what I like about this is America finds a way to have common sense even when the politicians and the media America finds a way.

01:09:12.000 I think that's what you do as a citizen in these situations.

01:09:14.000 You find out, no pun intended, the hill to die on, right?

01:09:16.000 I choose really bad ones, you should probably choose better ones.

01:09:19.000 At some point this becomes something where you go out on the lake in a boat just to protest, right?

01:09:24.000 But I don't think we're at that point yet.

01:09:25.000 I think what they did in Michigan was great where they drove into the capital and they just basically locked everything down.

01:09:31.000 They were still social distancing from one another, but they did something in protest, saying, hey, this isn't right.

01:09:36.000 And also, they pushed back and said, look, we don't like what you've done, and guess what?

01:09:40.000 We're going to vote.

01:09:41.000 We're going to vote, and we're going to use that to get people out of office that have done that.

01:09:44.000 And by the way, Wade edited that question.

01:09:47.000 It was Governor Half-Whitmer, and he skipped right over that.

01:09:50.000 Do we have any other chat?

01:09:51.000 I just thought it was too funny to say on air.

01:09:53.000 Yeah, we do have a couple more.

01:09:56.000 Give me one more, and then I think we have to wrap this up.

01:09:58.000 Okay, Becky D says, I want to say thank you to the Louder with Crowder crew for opening my eyes.

01:10:04.000 I used to be in the Bernie camp a couple years ago.

01:10:06.000 I really appreciate your specific brand of talking through arguments.

01:10:09.000 Thanks from your atheist, vegan, Latina superfan.

01:10:12.000 Well, what do you mean we opened her eyes?

01:10:15.000 Was she a six-week-old puppy?

01:10:17.000 She could have been.

01:10:18.000 She was.

01:10:21.000 Or any puppy.

01:10:21.000 Well good, well thank you very much.

01:10:23.000 We could use some more vegan, atheist, Latina, six-week-old puppies. 1.00

01:10:27.000 Sure.

01:10:27.000 There we go.

01:10:27.000 But thank you very much.

01:10:29.000 I appreciate that.

01:10:29.000 And that means a lot.

01:10:30.000 Thank you guys, everyone out there, of course, who is... Oh, by the way, do follow me on the Instagram at ladderwithcrowder because I'll be giving away a $1,200 stimulus check.

01:10:36.000 Yes!

01:10:37.000 Better than Shake Shack.

01:10:39.000 Yes.

01:10:39.000 Much better than Shake Shack.

01:10:40.000 Though you are all laid off.

01:10:41.000 Right after the show, of course.

01:10:43.000 I think this has actually highlighted something to me when we talk about we're all in this together.

01:10:48.000 We're really not.

01:10:48.000 Now, we are all in this together as a country, meaning that we should be doing everything we can to move forward and support our fellow American.

01:10:54.000 Absolutely.

01:10:55.000 That being said, not everyone is affected the same way.

01:10:57.000 We talked about this before.

01:10:58.000 If I were an 80-year-old diabetic nightclubber, it would be much harder than someone like me who, when I'm done with work, I pretty much just go home and I watch my shows.

01:11:08.000 That being said, I will tell you this, when people say we're all in this together, and they talk about, well, the people who are most affected, and they talk about race, and they talk about people who might have less money, all that is true. 0.93

01:11:18.000 Different demographics are affected differently.

01:11:19.000 But there is one that I think is being overlooked, and this is something that is pretty important because I think it shows a lack of Scale.

01:11:28.000 A lack of actually understanding kind of how the economy works and how it affects people.

01:11:32.000 The big divide, this is, we are not all in this together.

01:11:34.000 Not everyone is a business owner.

01:11:36.000 You need to understand this, that right now, yeah, you are affected, obviously, as an employee.

01:11:39.000 Everyone's affected.

01:11:40.000 But there is a business owner out there.

01:11:42.000 We went through some numbers, you know, like 36% of non-restaurant, or sorry, non-grocery retail-related businesses don't think that they're going to last.

01:11:49.000 These people out there, they obviously, they worry about their livelihood just like you.

01:11:53.000 I think some people think that business owners have stockpiles of cash.

01:11:56.000 That's clearly not the point.

01:11:59.000 Clearly not the case even with Shake Shack, right?

01:12:01.000 They don't have stockpiles of cash upon which they can simply fall back.

01:12:04.000 They're going to lose their living too, but they also have the compression of trying to ensure that they can provide for 10, 15, 50, 200 people, right?

01:12:12.000 They've built something up so that they can make a living, but all of you make a living.

01:12:16.000 And so when people say, hey, I want to get mine right now, Now, hey, we're all in this together.

01:12:21.000 Why the business trickle down?

01:12:22.000 Why not from the ground up?

01:12:23.000 Well, hold on a second.

01:12:24.000 Business owners aren't all fat cats.

01:12:25.000 Most of them are certainly not millionaires.

01:12:27.000 Most of them actually aren't making much more than an upper middle class family.

01:12:30.000 And by the way, they should be wealthy if they create a business that adds value to people's lives.

01:12:34.000 But these people will lose their livelihood, just like you will, and they will no longer be able to provide a livelihood for you moving forward.

01:12:42.000 There is a compression right now.

01:12:44.000 We can talk about minorities.

01:12:45.000 We can talk about women.

01:12:46.000 We can talk about old people. 0.90

01:12:47.000 But economically, small business owners out there are so disproportionately affected, the amount of stress that they are carrying right now is not even comparable to someone who is going to receive a stimulus check.

01:12:59.000 Everyone has a tough time.

01:13:00.000 I get it.

01:13:01.000 But if you have a business owner and you have a boss who you think is pretty good, you know what?

01:13:04.000 Maybe you should go out there and give him a hug.

01:13:06.000 Well, don't give him a hug.

01:13:07.000 But, you know, give him a virtual hug.

01:13:09.000 Let him know that, hey, you actually appreciate him.

01:13:11.000 Because some of this class warfare really alienates people who are automatically assumed to be Daddy Warbucks. 0.99

01:13:18.000 I don't think they realize that not only Shake Shack, the business, but what do you think about the guy who's running a local Shake Shack franchise?

01:13:23.000 Exactly.

01:13:24.000 I mean, McDonald's, look how much money they make.

01:13:25.000 Sure, absolutely.

01:13:26.000 Or Coca-Cola, absolutely.

01:13:27.000 But what about the bodega owner who sells Coke?

01:13:29.000 Right?

01:13:30.000 He employs three, four people.

01:13:31.000 He loses his living, and those people lose their living. 0.98

01:13:34.000 And I will tell you this, most employers, just like most people, most cops are good people, most hosts are probably good people, most government, well, okay, there are some exceptions to the rule, but the point is, most small business owners, or at least a comparable portion of them compared to any other profession, are decent people, and they are concerned of the livelihoods of their employees.

01:13:53.000 So to just tar and feather them because they happen to have reached the privilege of running a business, That's not the kind of message you want to send if you want an economy from hereafter.

01:14:04.000 And speaking of that, I think you were asking me this the other day, Audie, we were talking about Fox News and how they like Chelsea Handler.

01:14:12.000 Do you ever talk about Fox News?

01:14:13.000 People have been asking me about Bombshell and these shows, about my experience in it.

01:14:17.000 Oh, yeah.

01:14:17.000 Do you have some info about it?

01:14:18.000 Yeah, about Roger Ailes.

01:14:20.000 Really?

01:14:21.000 Give me the dirt. 0.94

01:14:23.000 Well, there's not really much dirt.

01:14:23.000 Are you going to tell the story about when Roger Ailes made you put on a blonde wig?

01:14:27.000 So here's the thing, people ask me about Roger Ailes because now he's been a hot topic.

01:14:32.000 I thought it was a mutual play played with his navel really Yeah, I think that's the Roger Ailes death squads

01:14:42.000 So usually people ask me about Roger Ailes because now he's been a hot topic I never met Roger Ailes

01:14:49.000 I...

01:14:50.000 I was at Fox News for four and a half years.

01:14:52.000 Somewhere between four and a half and five years total when you add it up.

01:14:55.000 I never met Roger Ailes.

01:14:56.000 That's interesting.

01:14:57.000 So I will say this.

01:14:57.000 There's someone there who I have nothing but good things to say about in my personal interactions.

01:15:01.000 She's the president there now at Fox.

01:15:03.000 Her name is Suzanne Scott.

01:15:03.000 That's public information.

01:15:04.000 She's president.

01:15:05.000 Apparently she's been doing a really good job.

01:15:06.000 She was kind of the person who brought me in there.

01:15:09.000 And, uh, showed me the ropes, and was really nice, was really supportive, um, and Bill Shine was there back in the day, I guess he also got caught, uh, embroiled in some sort of sexual, uh, assault scandal, so I, I, I can't speak to all that aside from, you know, listen, there was the leg chair for a reason on these shows, and the Bill O'Reilly thing, he did it, so!

01:15:29.000 But I never met Roger Ailes, and this lady would run interference for me. 0.97

01:15:34.000 And then finally, I was pitching these ideas.

01:15:36.000 One of them was to this guy who really liked Chelsea Handler, and they sort of paired me up with a host to create a show similar to this show at this point, but then they wanted to change it.

01:15:43.000 At one point, there was a suggestion of Monkey on Roller Skates, which I was like, that's horrible that you came up with that idea.

01:15:48.000 I think Monkey on Roller Skates would be funny, but I don't want it on a show.

01:15:54.000 And then finally, she just sits me down and goes like, yeah, I know you've been wanting to meet Roger for a while, but it's um... He doesn't like you.

01:16:05.000 You know, I was told, he doesn't get you.

01:16:10.000 He doesn't think you're funny.

01:16:11.000 And I was like, oh, OK.

01:16:12.000 I understand.

01:16:12.000 OK.

01:16:13.000 So in other words, I'm not going to meet the person who runs this network, who makes all of these determinations as to who gets to host, as to who's a contributor, because he doesn't like the very essence of who I am as a comedian.

01:16:29.000 So that was my experience.

01:16:30.000 And then there was, I'm pretty sure you can probably run a search and find this, You know, Dennis Miller, I used to do his show quite a bit, and Norm Macdonald used to do, you know, they're really close friends, and Dennis Miller had a bit on Bill O'Reilly's show called Miller Time.

01:16:42.000 And it was just, by the way, Dennis Miller, brilliant, hilarious, and it was just an exercise in what, it's like, Bill O'Reilly, stop speaking!

01:16:47.000 Let him finish! 0.98

01:16:48.000 You're like, oh, listen, I'm trying to get to some material here, Bill, but if you want to go off and talk about, we can do that, that's the cut of your jib.

01:16:54.000 It's like, okay, we get it.

01:16:55.000 Bill, shut up!

01:16:56.000 You have a genius!

01:16:56.000 You're not!

01:16:58.000 Stop! 1.00

01:16:59.000 So, they were all friends, and one time, Dennis Miller couldn't make his segment, his Miller time, so Norm filled in.

01:17:08.000 Oh boy.

01:17:08.000 And I loved it.

01:17:10.000 I adored it.

01:17:11.000 If you can go and search Norm MacDonald filling in for Dennis Miller, and of course he's not Dennis Miller, that was a segment Taylor made for him, but Norm did, he performed as well as he possibly could.

01:17:20.000 He never did it again, from what I understand.

01:17:21.000 At most, he did it twice.

01:17:23.000 And then I heard through the grapevine that Roger Ailes really, really didn't think Norm MacDonald was funny.

01:17:28.000 And that was the greatest compliment anyone has ever paid me, because I was in the same boat.

01:17:34.000 Even though I knew that my career was at a dead end at that network at that point, I felt like I had some kind of a link Norm Macdonald was a kindred spirit in that Roger Ailes also detested him.

01:17:46.000 So, you find validation in the most unlikely of places.

01:17:50.000 This has been Good Morning Mug Club.
