Transcript

00:00:00.000 Ha ha ha!
00:00:01.000 Oh!
00:00:07.000 First I was told to shut up because I would never understand.
00:00:10.000 Then I was told that silence was violence.
00:00:12.000 You want to call me right wing?

00:02:29.000 Mmm.
00:02:30.000 Mm-hmm delicious glad to be with you today actually for the first time we are going to be trying this Rundown of what we'll be discussing the show hit it.
00:02:39.000 Huh we have the oh there you go the entertainment minutes today I don't know if you know this but the five late-night hosts Often referred to as failures, are going to be teaming up for a show.
00:02:50.000 Also, Tucker Carlson predicted a war with China, because they've, you know, annexed Russia.
00:02:55.000 Russia!
00:02:55.000 Sorry, a war with, well, with both of them.
00:02:57.000 Well, yes.
00:02:58.000 Eventually both of them.
00:02:59.000 And we have exclusive audio of the first call between Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin.
00:03:04.000 And then also something that people are talking about, and I want to be clear here, and I'd like for you to comment below.
00:03:10.000 Mitch McConnell, look.
00:03:12.000 It's sad.
00:03:13.000 It's also sad what they've done with former Vice President Joe Biden.
00:03:16.000 Now, I think, of course, that these people have been bad actors in a lot of ways, but I'm not nearly as upset with them as I am with the people pulling the strings.
00:03:25.000 These people, they're senile, a lot of these people.
00:03:27.000 This is elder abuse, and I don't know if you know this, it's a big problem in this country.
00:03:30.000 Elder abuse takes place at a much higher rate than young people.
00:03:34.000 When you're talking about old folks' homes, when you're talking about financial fraud, identity theft, it happens a lot, and sending people out there When they're completely unaware of their surroundings, I think it's a relevant topic, especially when we get into... I said especially.
00:03:47.000 Let me ask you a question.
00:03:48.000 Especially!
00:03:48.000 Especially when we get into how many of our representatives defy the actuary tables.
00:03:54.000 They should be dead.
00:03:56.000 The average age is the same as the average age of a leatherback turtle.
00:04:00.000 So we'll be talking about that, and I know that sometimes you may get sad when you see old people, but you know what?
00:04:06.000 It's also funny.
00:04:07.000 Yes.
00:04:10.000 And another question of the day, do you think that former Vice President Biden would start a war with Russia just to stay in power?
00:04:14.000 Do you think that's something that he would do?
00:04:16.000 We have a lot to get to.
00:04:18.000 Number two, Gerald Morgan.
00:04:19.000 Gerald A., how are you?
00:04:20.000 I'm doing well.
00:04:21.000 You called me by my real name.
00:04:22.000 I know.
00:04:23.000 No, it's Gerald A. That was a slip.
00:04:25.000 What's the matter with you?
00:04:26.000 G. Morgan Jr.
00:04:26.000 Well, because now Mug Club just got certified gold on the Twitter.
00:04:29.000 Oh, that's right.
00:04:30.000 And so everyone here will get those gold badges, which I don't know if it means anything.
00:04:33.000 Badges?
00:04:34.000 Yeah.
00:04:34.000 We don't need no stinking badges.
00:04:35.000 That's a horrible start.
00:04:36.000 And when you hear this...
00:04:39.000 You know who it is.
00:04:40.000 He's going to be at the King Center in Melbourne, Florida.
00:04:43.000 That's the one stateside, not the penal colony.
00:04:45.000 September 23rd.
00:04:46.000 And you can go see all of his tour dates, by the way, in your neck of the woods.
00:04:49.000 BrianCallin.com.
00:04:50.000 And that's a great way for you to support if you don't join Mug Club.
00:04:53.000 Look, live ticket sales, hey, it's something you can go and do and go support these folks.
00:04:58.000 Live ticket sales don't lie.
00:04:59.000 Brian Callin!
00:05:00.000 Good to be here, and I'm always brimming with comments, and the hardest part of the show is for me to keep quiet before you introduce me.
00:05:07.000 Yeah.
00:05:07.000 Yeah.
00:05:08.000 But my comments are still brewing.
00:05:10.000 If that's your most difficult struggle, you've lived a pretty full life.
00:05:13.000 Thank you, buddy.
00:05:13.000 I appreciate that.
00:05:14.000 What comments do you have?
00:05:15.000 I haven't heard one.
00:05:15.000 Oh, God, they're still brewing.
00:05:16.000 He wrote on my notepad.
00:05:18.000 He wrote, big dates in September.
00:05:22.000 Big dates.
00:05:22.000 Repeatedly.
00:05:23.000 Big dates.
00:05:23.000 You're not supposed to check my notepad.
00:05:25.000 I'll do whatever I want on that notepad.
00:05:27.000 No, you won't.
00:05:27.000 Other things happen.
00:05:28.000 You won't?
00:05:28.000 There's a reason for wait classes.
00:05:29.000 All right.
00:05:31.000 Hi.
00:05:33.000 The joke is you'll live forever.
00:05:35.000 Okay, but I'm a little insecure about my frailty around you.
00:05:37.000 I'll die very young.
00:05:38.000 I'm 170 American pounds.
00:05:41.000 173, actually, after I've eaten.
00:05:42.000 Wow.
00:05:42.000 Well, good for you.
00:05:43.000 I know.
00:05:44.000 But still live.
00:05:45.000 I still got it.
00:05:45.000 Still supple.
00:05:46.000 And you know that.
00:05:47.000 Hey, we're only five minutes into the show.
00:05:48.000 Sorry, buddy.
00:05:51.000 Apparently, you know, there's a Hollywood writer strike, and it's still going on, and the late-night hosts have a real problem because they have other people who write almost all of their material.
00:05:58.000 Really?
00:05:59.000 Yes.
00:06:00.000 Like, 40 writers, depending on the place.
00:06:02.000 You know, hundreds and hundreds of employees who simply actually create the content, and then they have to pre-tape it, and then still whittle it down, or if you're like Chelsea Handler, whittle it down even more and steal your guests' jokes before they go on air and have them submit it.
00:06:13.000 It's true.
00:06:13.000 I don't know if you guys know that it's funny.
00:06:15.000 Now hold on, I've done that show!
00:06:16.000 Now that brings us...
00:06:18.000 That's true, you did.
00:06:19.000 It's not really a joke, more of a statement.
00:06:21.000 I never had that experience with her.
00:06:23.000 Yeah, I know.
00:06:23.000 Sticking up for her.
00:06:24.000 Good for you.
00:06:25.000 Who cares?
00:06:27.000 This week's entertainment minute So the late-night hosts
00:06:41.000 Yes, I just said that phrase in the year 2023.
00:06:45.000 Dropped a trailer, I guess, for their new... And here's the thing, remember when trailers used to be, you know, in the 90s, you know, like Fatal Attraction, there was always a cliffhanger, and it told you about the film.
00:06:53.000 Then we went through the era of the Michael Bay trailers, where it was just a bunch of Transformers effects, and then Transformers sound effects made it into trailers that had nothing to do with robots.
00:07:00.000 You're like, what is this?
00:07:03.000 This is the Hunger Games.
00:07:05.000 Okay, now trailers can just mean some aging old-timers in a webcam.
00:07:12.000 So here is now the new podcast where they've formed the megazord, I guess, of late-night hosts.
00:07:19.000 Strikeforce 5, they're calling it, and I warn you, it's... Wow.
00:07:22.000 I mean, you have to watch it through your fingers.
00:07:24.000 Strikeforce 5.
00:07:26.000 One more time, Jimmy.
00:07:27.000 Hi, I'm Jimmy Fallon.
00:07:29.000 I'm Stephen Colbert.
00:07:32.000 I thought when you said Jimmy, you meant me, Jimmy, but you meant Jimmy, Jimmy.
00:07:35.000 I always mean you.
00:07:36.000 But when you say Seth Meyers, who do you mean?
00:07:40.000 I mean, John Oliver.
00:07:41.000 It's the five of us together for maybe an hour a day.
00:07:46.000 StrikeForce5 is the name of our podcast.
00:07:49.000 Subscribe to it now.
00:07:51.000 Spotify, or wherever else you get your podcasts.
00:07:55.000 But Spotify, you f***s.
00:07:57.000 Watching it was so depressing it put me in such a funk I had to cheer myself up with the lovely bones.
00:08:03.000 Be polite.
00:08:05.000 You have to be polite.
00:08:07.000 Be polite.
00:08:09.000 That's another rule.
00:08:11.000 Well now I'm more chipper.
00:08:12.000 There we go.
00:08:13.000 Was that the full stinger?
00:08:17.000 Yeah, that's the full teaser.
00:08:20.000 What subjects do they touch on?
00:08:21.000 Well, the beauty is when you're that funny, when you're that talented, you can just talk about anything.
00:08:24.000 We're just going to sit down and talk for maybe an hour.
00:08:29.000 Maybe?
00:08:30.000 Hey, you have a $20 million salary.
00:08:32.000 Couldn't you do better than maybe?
00:08:33.000 Hey guys, we have two Jimmys.
00:08:35.000 Let's do a joke where the wrong one responds.
00:08:37.000 Oh, oh, no, I'm Jimmy.
00:08:39.000 You said Jimmy. I'm Jimmy Fallon.
00:08:41.000 He's Kimmel. No, no, no, no. He's Kimmel. I'm Fallon.
00:08:48.000 Huh.
00:08:49.000 I And then we'll have John Oliver cuss at the end.
00:08:53.000 It'll be great.
00:08:54.000 Looks like these guys are... I miss the ghost of Johnny Carson.
00:08:58.000 These guys are really big putts.
00:09:01.000 So according to CBS News, I guess they're the central mainframe here, five of America's most famous late-night comedy hosts are banding together to create a podcast to discuss the ins and outs of the ongoing Hollywood strike.
00:09:15.000 Fascinating.
00:09:15.000 I was going to say, even the topic, even the topic, this is how out of touch they are.
00:09:20.000 By the way, Murderer's Row is coming up, we weren't planning on plugging this again here, it's coming up on Monday on Labor Day because we don't pick your pocket every first Monday of September, but we're not going to be discussing the Hollywood strike.
00:09:31.000 God, I'd rather go through a car wash without my car.
00:09:35.000 It's called a shower, Brian.
00:09:36.000 Tell me more!
00:09:38.000 And then...
00:09:40.000 You'll never guess what happened after that!
00:09:42.000 They stonewalled us!
00:09:44.000 What?!
00:09:44.000 Tune in tomorrow though, we have more information.
00:09:47.000 Yeah, we're going to be discussing exclusively the Hollywood writer's strike because we think that that strike's at the heart of what affects most Americans who don't watch our show.
00:09:56.000 For an hour a day.
00:09:57.000 Yeah.
00:09:58.000 Yeah.
00:09:58.000 Now, the trailer was dropped on Jimmy Fallon's X page, because it's not Twitter anymore.
00:10:03.000 It's gonna take a minute.
00:10:05.000 And remember they protested when Elon bought it?
00:10:07.000 It was like, oh, back in the day they used to say if so-and-so wins the election, they did it with George W. Bush, they said with Romney, they did it with Donald Trump, I'll move to Canada, and they never did.
00:10:16.000 If this happens with Elon Musk, I'm leaving X. I notice you still have your verification badge.
00:10:22.000 You like your view?
00:10:23.000 Yeah.
00:10:23.000 And your palm trees in California?
00:10:25.000 Yes.
00:10:26.000 Way to make a stand.
00:10:27.000 So the reactions are pretty much what you would expect.
00:10:29.000 This is from some Twitter profiles.
00:10:31.000 One guy wrote, Guys, if we combine all our viewership, we'll get at least 15, maybe even 16 people to watch.
00:10:38.000 That's ambitious.
00:10:40.000 The funny one was someone said, oh good, so I can ignore you all at once instead of individually.
00:10:46.000 That's better, right?
00:10:47.000 Every now and then you want to, you're like, yeah, that guy, hey, I bet you he's not on strike.
00:10:50.000 No, I can't, he's not union.
00:10:53.000 Scale.
00:10:55.000 Thanks, Jimmy.
00:10:56.000 Hey, he's talking about his weight again.
00:10:57.000 Brian Cannon ladies and gentlemen.
00:11:03.000 Sometimes, that's my name.
00:11:05.000 Sometimes it's coach.
00:11:07.000 I hate that we're talking about them.
00:11:09.000 So here's the thing, this is something you guys need to know.
00:11:12.000 The 18 to 49 demo, the coveted demo, they do not tune in.
00:11:16.000 They do not tune in to late night programs anymore.
00:11:19.000 The numbers are abysmal regardless of the writer's stream.
00:11:22.000 I think this is a total average, not the demo average from March.
00:11:26.000 You guys can correct me.
00:11:27.000 Fallon is down to 1.4 million.
00:11:28.000 No, this is not the demo.
00:11:29.000 This is not the demo numbers, yeah.
00:11:31.000 Colbert is down to 1.4 million.
00:11:33.000 Kimmel's down to 1.6.
00:11:34.000 Wow.
00:11:35.000 This is total.
00:11:36.000 This is total.
00:11:37.000 Oh, and they put in there... You mean Crowder's almost 3 million?
00:11:41.000 I'm just gonna say it.
00:11:41.000 I round up to three million.
00:11:43.000 Okay, that's, I did not, this is an, just so you know, someone added this without me
00:11:47.000 knowing, it's not a prompt or just someone, I don't get, but the demo numbers there are
00:11:51.000 a couple hundred thousand, just to be clear.
00:11:54.000 No one aged 18 to 45, some people do it ages 21 to 50 something, they're not tuning in
00:11:59.000 to late night.
00:12:00.000 And these people are desperate to claw it back.
00:12:02.000 And this is the silver lining here.
00:12:04.000 Remember, these people would influence elections a lot at one point in time.
00:12:07.000 Take this from, and I get it, the industry has changed.
00:12:09.000 Carson, right, you're talking about 30 million.
00:12:11.000 These are now, today, Super Bowl numbers.
00:12:13.000 You'll never have that again.
00:12:14.000 There were three networks and once they went out there was an Indian going beep.
00:12:17.000 So I understand that we're not going back to that.
00:12:19.000 But, this has gotten significantly worse before the writer's strike, and so now they've teamed up.
00:12:24.000 By the power of yours combined, I suck!
00:12:27.000 Yeah, what happens is, podcasts and shows like this have exposed Hollywood.
00:12:33.000 Because what happens, if you look at Spotify, people like Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, and they had, you know, Springsteen and Obama doing a podcast, nobody tuned in.
00:12:43.000 And what happens is, they went, oh, you guys aren't that interesting in long-form discussion.
00:12:48.000 We have a moratorium on even mentioning Bruce Springsteen in the studio.
00:12:53.000 There are few people who hate more than that mumbling sack of talentless shit.
00:12:56.000 Well hold on now!
00:12:57.000 I'm a bit of a Springsteen fan over here.
00:12:59.000 But you shouldn't be!
00:13:00.000 Leave now!
00:13:04.000 By the way, I don't know if we have this.
00:13:06.000 One of the first shows I ever did on radio.
00:13:08.000 Today we're going to be a little more relaxed.
00:13:09.000 One of the first shows I ever did back when it was on radio was Syndicated.
00:13:13.000 I don't know if you were on that show.
00:13:14.000 First guests, I think, were Monica Crowley and Chael Sonnen and Kayla Harrison, an Olympic medalist.
00:13:18.000 I remember that show like it was yesterday.
00:13:20.000 Maybe I'm blending.
00:13:20.000 Maybe I don't remember.
00:13:21.000 She's the judo Gio Gallia.
00:13:23.000 Uh, early on.
00:13:24.000 Um, back then, we pulled up an old clip of Bruce Springsteen.
00:13:27.000 You know, nice.
00:13:28.000 I hope y'all been good this year.
00:13:30.000 Ah, not too many.
00:13:31.000 And back then he was sitting there talking like this when we do rock and roll.
00:13:34.000 Ah, like a young Al Pacino.
00:13:36.000 It's totally fake.
00:13:37.000 Yep.
00:13:38.000 And you know, figuratively, it'd be nice if he got rid of it.
00:13:40.000 Of all the people that trigger you, Bruce Springsteen is the one you go back on.
00:13:44.000 Yes, because I'm offended by mediocrity.
00:13:45.000 Pull up the Santa Claus You know what, guys?
00:13:51.000 You can comment, but I don't want to get into a whole Springsteen thing.
00:13:54.000 We did this at run-through.
00:13:55.000 It's enough.
00:13:56.000 Also, John Cougar Mellencamp.
00:13:58.000 He can take a long walk off a short pier.
00:14:01.000 Jackson Diane's a great song, guys.
00:14:03.000 I don't care what you say.
00:14:04.000 Adding to Hollywood's idiocracy, we're living in real time, Warner Brothers now announced, and again, there's X, it's not Twitter, it's not HBO, it's Max.
00:14:12.000 This should tell you how a lot of these companies, these entities aren't necessarily working.
00:14:17.000 They cannot apply their classic cost structure to new media, and unfortunately they have the burden of these unions, who do serve some purpose.
00:14:23.000 I actually agree with them on the AI issues, because this is something that could put a lot of people out of work.
00:14:28.000 These are skilled jobs.
00:14:29.000 No, no, but also your rights as a human being, where someone can just mimic it.
00:14:33.000 Like, I understand.
00:14:34.000 That's not ill-founded, but that's not all they want.
00:14:36.000 They always want more money, and the unions look out for their unions.
00:14:38.000 I mean, I was in the Actors Union because I had to be.
00:14:41.000 I had to pay $2,500 before ever showing up on set in the first role I got in the United States, even though I was already technically a member because I was a member in Canada.
00:14:50.000 They said, yeah, yeah, it is, but you have to pay this fee.
00:14:52.000 I said, we'll just take it out of the first couple of episodes.
00:14:54.000 I said, no, no, you have to pay it up front.
00:14:55.000 And actually, true story, my brother, who was one of the first YouTube partners in 2006, lent me the money so that I could fulfill a role that I had already received.
00:15:05.000 Anyways, I'm going off on a limb.
00:15:06.000 I think a lot of it also comes down to the fact that you, as a writer or an actor, you gotta be very careful about how much you think you're actually worth.
00:15:15.000 One thing as an actor in Hollywood I always knew, whether it was writing or acting, is I was always eminently replaceable.
00:15:21.000 It's just the way it is, man.
00:15:22.000 I mean, you know, it's just too easy to be like, next.
00:15:25.000 Yeah, and plus it's a cottage industry, Brian Cowan lookalikes.
00:15:29.000 There's one guy who's a dead ringer.
00:15:30.000 Dead ringer.
00:15:31.000 Yes, my nose keeps growing as I get older.
00:15:32.000 He also does Springsteen.
00:15:34.000 God, I do do a little... So, CNN live alerts.
00:15:38.000 They think this is going to help them.
00:15:39.000 HBO became Max, right?
00:15:40.000 Buying Discovery and History.
00:15:41.000 I particularly love their historical accuracy on The Mermaid.
00:15:44.000 Yes.
00:15:46.000 It's now Max, and now they've decided, ooh, this isn't working.
00:15:48.000 Let's add CNN live alert pop-ups.
00:15:52.000 That means during other shows or films that you are watching on Max, you may get a CNN pop-up.
00:15:58.000 And by the way, I'm part of the beta testing and saw one of these last night, again, while cheering myself up watching The Lovely Bones.
00:16:04.000 I'm not going to hurt you, Suzy.
00:16:10.000 This is CNN Breaking News.
00:16:12.000 This is CNN Breaking News.
00:16:23.000 It's very difficult.
00:16:24.000 Don't you always wonder what, like, in the meeting, in the idea room, in the war room, where they go, what do you guys, our ratings are... And then somebody went, how about pop-ups?
00:16:34.000 Genius!
00:16:36.000 Yes!
00:16:36.000 You mean in movies that people pay for to not have commercials, we throw in like a commercial?
00:16:41.000 Right.
00:16:41.000 Lead us out of the promised land with pop-ups.
00:16:43.000 This is gonna save our network.
00:16:45.000 I'll tell you, one time I was at Fox News and they were looking at doing this new show and it was an ensemble and it wasn't working and one of the people there who was ancient, who had worked on like the Steve Allen Show, he suggested a monkey.
00:16:59.000 No way.
00:16:59.000 Oh boy.
00:16:59.000 He goes, just have a monkey there.
00:17:00.000 And he'd be there like the whole time.
00:17:03.000 Like on a perch?
00:17:04.000 I'm like, I don't know if monkeys use perches.
00:17:05.000 I don't know, but I don't think...
00:17:08.000 I swear to you.
00:17:09.000 Wait, he wanted a monkey for what?
00:17:11.000 Just to be there.
00:17:12.000 Because people love monkeys!
00:17:14.000 Just a monkey, Brian.
00:17:16.000 That's a little bit of genius.
00:17:17.000 And by the way, monkeys are always funny.
00:17:19.000 There was a knock-down, drag-out fight on MADtv my first year.
00:17:23.000 We were in the writer's room.
00:17:25.000 I've never seen anything like it.
00:17:26.000 It was an absolute brawl over what word was funnier in the sketch.
00:17:31.000 Monkey or midget.
00:17:33.000 And I was like, boy.
00:17:34.000 Midget.
00:17:35.000 Yeah, well, probably.
00:17:36.000 We're all canceled.
00:17:37.000 We're all canceled.
00:17:38.000 Oh, come on.
00:17:39.000 It's a real word.
00:17:40.000 No, that's right.
00:17:40.000 We should call them dwarves because that's less offensive.
00:17:42.000 Why did they decide Midget was offensive?
00:17:44.000 I don't know.
00:17:45.000 I just go with Willow.
00:17:45.000 And by the way, CNN Plus was a $100 million venture.
00:17:49.000 Shut down after a month.
00:17:51.000 $100 million couldn't make it work.
00:17:53.000 But hey, the failed $100 million venture, let's put their pop-ups into Macs.
00:17:58.000 You comment if you think Hollywood's ever going to get it right.
00:18:00.000 Of course, I can guess.
00:18:01.000 That's been this week's Entertainment Minute.
00:18:03.000 All right, you know what?
00:18:14.000 I think we're going to... I know there's an update on Hurricane Dahlia.
00:18:17.000 Let's put that to later right now, because I think there's a lot of stuff.
00:18:20.000 Yeah, we have some other stuff to get to.
00:18:22.000 And by the way, it's a live show, Monday through Friday, 10 a.m.
00:18:24.000 Eastern, here on Rumble, if you're watching.
00:18:26.000 If you're watching on YouTube, we're testing the algorithm.
00:18:29.000 Please do hit that like button, because we've been shadow-throttled there.
00:18:33.000 Of course, I recommend you head over to Rumble anyway.
00:18:35.000 We'll be continuing doing the Mud Club segment.
00:18:38.000 It's a whole other show every day.
00:18:39.000 It is.
00:18:40.000 It really is.
00:18:41.000 Okay, so let's get to Gerald Knows Things here.
00:18:43.000 I don't know if we have a standard for this, but it's about Tucker Carlson.
00:18:46.000 Don't worry, I know, I just messed up your whole map.
00:18:47.000 I'm fine.
00:18:49.000 Tucker Carlson obviously talked about, I think, was it yesterday that he mentioned this?
00:18:53.000 Yeah, I think it was.
00:18:54.000 Well, at least I saw the interview come out yesterday, so maybe it was from before, but the clip started circulating around the internet.
00:19:00.000 Okay, so he predicted war with China and Russia.
00:19:06.000 Look, I'm not huge on geopolitics, and I don't like the Russians or the Chinese.
00:19:12.000 Either one.
00:19:12.000 You're being modest.
00:19:14.000 Yeah, that's true.
00:19:15.000 I don't like the people.
00:19:16.000 That brings us to Gerald Knows Things.
00:19:18.000 All right, so Tucker was talking with Adam Carolla and he predicted that, and this may
00:19:35.000 sound a little bit far out, but if you follow through on this logic it actually makes a little
00:19:39.000 It's in the realm of possibility.
00:19:40.000 This is kind of like an Alex Jones moment.
00:19:42.000 We predicted this when the war with Ukraine started.
00:19:45.000 No, no, no, no, no.
00:19:45.000 We didn't predict that he would start a war to stay in power.
00:19:47.000 Oh, no, not Biden.
00:19:48.000 No, no.
00:19:49.000 We predicted that, obviously, it would unfortunately kind of force Russia into the arms of the tiny arms of China.
00:19:54.000 Well, it's going to force them into the arms of China, but really his point right now is that we are technically kind of in a Cold War state because we're funding the enemy of Russia.
00:20:01.000 So this is specific to Russia.
00:20:02.000 He's saying within a year, we're going to be drawn into a hot war with Russia right here in the clip.
00:20:08.000 So they can't lose.
00:20:10.000 They will do anything to win.
00:20:12.000 So how do they do that?
00:20:13.000 They're not going to do COVID again.
00:20:14.000 I know everyone on the right is afraid they're going to do COVID and mask mandate.
00:20:17.000 They're not going to do that.
00:20:18.000 They can't do that.
00:20:19.000 If they've already been exposed, that won't work.
00:20:21.000 There's going to be... No.
00:20:22.000 What are they going to do?
00:20:23.000 They're going to go to war with Russia.
00:20:24.000 That's what they're going to do.
00:20:25.000 There will be a hot war between the United States and Russia in the next year.
00:20:30.000 Really?
00:20:31.000 Yes, of course.
00:20:33.000 They want it anyway.
00:20:34.000 I don't think we'll win it, but that's a separate analysis.
00:20:37.000 But I think as a political matter, they need to declare war footing in order to assume war powers.
00:20:45.000 There's no real winning a war like that today, though, I think is what he means.
00:20:47.000 These are unwinnable wars.
00:20:48.000 Well, but he didn't say that, though.
00:20:49.000 He didn't say, like, nobody wins.
00:20:50.000 we'd win. There's no real winning a war like that today though I think is what he means.
00:20:54.000 These are unwinnable wars. Well but he didn't say that. So he didn't say like nobody wins,
00:20:58.000 he said and we won't win. Yeah I mean the Russian military is a joke now.
00:21:02.000 It is a joke.
00:21:03.000 They have a lot of nukes.
00:21:04.000 We have, I think they have, maybe they have slightly more.
00:21:07.000 We have slightly more.
00:21:07.000 I can't remember.
00:21:08.000 We're the top two, obviously, in the world, and we have lots and lots and lots and lots of nukes.
00:21:12.000 I get that.
00:21:12.000 I don't think that we go to a nuclear war, but his point is that if the Biden administration has no other options and they get us into a war and declare, and he said, you know, kind of the War Powers Act and making sure that the party in power stays in power in that situation, so there is no election.
00:21:28.000 If they can't get Donald Trump one of these ways, this is a way for them to stay in power.
00:21:32.000 And again, I think this is a little out there for me.
00:21:35.000 I don't necessarily agree that that's going to happen.
00:21:38.000 I don't think it's out there to make the statement that administrations understand that a perpetual state of war is often good.
00:21:44.000 But to stay in power, that's a different thing.
00:21:46.000 I don't think, I mean, I don't know.
00:21:48.000 In other words, it's a very clear, and you guys can comment, I'll be interested to hear the discussion or read the discussion in the comment section.
00:21:54.000 Sometimes I have it read to me in one of those AI voices.
00:21:58.000 But it is interesting to think, okay, there's a path.
00:22:02.000 There's a straight path with the lockdowns, with the mandates, how that affects the election.
00:22:06.000 We know that that happens, right?
00:22:07.000 And I don't think that they will accomplish it.
00:22:09.000 I hope not.
00:22:10.000 I know that there are plenty of people who are willing to be, you know, useful pawns, and we'll get into the abuse of the elderly in a little bit as well.
00:22:17.000 I don't see the direct path, and it doesn't mean that it couldn't happen with a war with Russia, the direct path into affecting the election.
00:22:25.000 In other words, if you're saying, hey, we believe that maybe it'll increase his popularity because you'll be able to sort of project the pseudo-patriotism and vilify, you know, this foreign enemy.
00:22:34.000 Yeah, but there's a very clear set.
00:22:37.000 There's a very clear rule set with COVID mandates on how you win an election by abusing that.
00:22:42.000 With absentee ballots and things like that.
00:22:43.000 Right.
00:22:44.000 So Tucker's point is that since it's already happened, it probably won't happen again because we're a little bit more aware of that kind of thing.
00:22:50.000 But don't you think it's way easier?
00:22:53.000 Both are hard, but it would seem to be way easier to instill mandates or lockdowns than starting a hot war with a nuclear power like Russia.
00:23:05.000 I don't even know how we'd start that.
00:23:06.000 I think they're both easy to do.
00:23:08.000 I think it's a tougher sell as far as a straight path to winning an election.
00:23:11.000 That's my thought.
00:23:12.000 But you would need, you would need somehow for, I think, Russia to invade a NATO power like Poland.
00:23:18.000 No, you don't.
00:23:19.000 No.
00:23:20.000 Why?
00:23:21.000 All you need is for it to appear as though Russia invaded a nuclear power, or I'm sorry, a NATO power like Poland.
00:23:25.000 That's it.
00:23:26.000 All you need is somebody to do something that you can make, hey, they did this.
00:23:30.000 And that's pretty easy.
00:23:31.000 I mean, those Polaks or surely you just say, hey, I think I see some Russians over there.
00:23:35.000 What?
00:23:35.000 No Russians over here!
00:23:37.000 And they're like, yeah, there we go.
00:23:39.000 Now let's pop off some nukes.
00:23:40.000 So we'll see.
00:23:41.000 I don't know.
00:23:41.000 But you've been hearing this, by the way, for a very long time, the threat of the Russia-China alliance.
00:23:46.000 And we've talked about that as well.
00:23:47.000 So this is not new.
00:23:48.000 But here's a refresher.
00:23:49.000 U.S.
00:23:50.000 officials have been closely monitoring signs of increased cooperation between Beijing and Moscow, as you know.
00:23:55.000 Would China and Russia form an alliance against the U.S.?
00:23:58.000 Do you think that's a realistic possibility?
00:24:01.000 I think it's not only realistic... Yes, lady with windswept hair and no wind!
00:24:05.000 ...you know, situation that we're seeing right now unfold.
00:24:07.000 Last February, President Xi and President Putin met in Beijing, where they signed a joint declaration promising each other a partnership without any limits.
00:24:18.000 You conveniently left out the most important part of the deal, which is what the United States wins out of it.
00:24:24.000 That would only be conditioned on Vladimir Putin exiting his military alliance with China.
00:24:30.000 And just to be clear, as far as an update that matters, the Chinese just incorporated a Russian island into their territory on a new map.
00:24:37.000 Now, I don't know if that's a map-o.
00:24:38.000 That's a power move right there.
00:24:41.000 Yeah, that's a power move.
00:24:42.000 It's like, that's ours.
00:24:43.000 And sometimes, you know, we have our investigative journalism unit, but a lot of people don't realize we also have, you know, we have exclusives that are given to us across the globe on a regular basis.
00:24:50.000 We have exclusive leaked phone call of Xi Jinping, Putin, which may have been what led to the current state of affairs.
00:24:58.000 Hello, my friend.
00:24:59.000 You call me President Putin.
00:25:01.000 I was wondering... You go first.
00:25:03.000 No, you go, Ham.
00:25:03.000 No, please.
00:25:03.000 No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, We have common enemy.
00:25:21.000 And you want an alliance?
00:25:24.000 What?
00:25:25.000 An alliance.
00:25:28.000 Alliance.
00:25:30.000 What?
00:25:31.000 You want an alliance?
00:25:33.000 Alliance!
00:25:34.000 Alliance!
00:25:36.000 I... I don't... I'm getting maybe a... Do you understand Chekhov?
00:25:40.000 Liv... Liv Chekhov?
00:25:42.000 Look after... I... I don't.
00:25:46.000 One more time, please.
00:25:47.000 Ha ha ha ha!
00:25:48.000 I'll make you laugh!
00:25:49.000 No riffs!
00:25:50.000 Riffs are weak!
00:25:51.000 Russia is strong!
00:25:52.000 Never mind, I'll call Kim Jong-un.
00:25:53.000 This is fake hang up?
00:25:54.000 Real hang up?
00:25:55.000 F***!
00:25:56.000 That's uh, that sounds very heated.
00:26:08.000 I'm not intimidated.
00:26:09.000 Well, that's how you lose an island.
00:26:10.000 Right there.
00:26:10.000 They're not very unified.
00:26:11.000 They can't get along.
00:26:12.000 They're not very unified.
00:26:13.000 Don't hang up!
00:26:15.000 This has been Gerald Knowstuff.
00:26:17.000 🎵 Alright, so...
00:26:29.000 🎵 Um, I want to discuss the Mitch McConnell, the stroke.
00:26:36.000 Yeah.
00:26:36.000 Some people are calling it Mroke, which doesn't really work.
00:26:38.000 It doesn't roll off the tongue.
00:26:40.000 I don't know.
00:26:41.000 Come on, guys.
00:26:42.000 Come on, everyone.
00:26:42.000 Let's be tasteful.
00:26:43.000 Yes.
00:26:43.000 There's nothing funny about Any of this.
00:26:46.000 Now, I will say this.
00:26:47.000 This is sad, of course, but it's something that's lost, I think, in a lot of people.
00:26:51.000 It's easy to sort of make fun of Mitch McConnell or former Vice President Joe Biden, but we do have, this is the median demographic, the median age, I should say, of our political leadership.
00:27:02.000 It's the only place where the median age is older than the Fox News viewership.
00:27:06.000 That's, yeah, it's rare.
00:27:07.000 And this does matter because they're actually, I mean it's a marvel, it's a miracle as far as defying actuary tables, but a lot of these people as well, they're being abused.
00:27:16.000 You do have to ask yourself, if former Vice President Biden doesn't know where he is, well who's running the show?
00:27:21.000 If you see the handlers and how they handle Mitch McConnell, I'm not nearly as mad with Mitch McConnell.
00:27:25.000 I would have been in his younger days.
00:27:28.000 I'm mad at the handlers popping their head in where it almost looks like a choreographed sketch.
00:27:32.000 It's so embarrassing.
00:27:33.000 So our politicians, our representatives, they're aging out of this job and by that I mean they
00:27:38.000 already shouldn't have these jobs and that brings us to our newest segment, the Silver Alert.
00:27:42.000 Now Seth Meyers and Colbert couldn't do that because that's a gross violation of
00:27:55.000 What are my thoughts about what?
00:27:57.000 that warning sound but we're online put me in contempt bitch now also useful for
00:28:05.000 Halloween yes it is yesterday if you didn't see this Mitch McConnell had
00:28:09.000 another deer in the headlight moment and again it said I'm mad with the people
00:28:13.000 around him and in comment below if that's that's kind of your gut instinct
00:28:17.000 here you go if you haven't seen it about what running for reelection in 2006
00:28:26.000 here's a question You mispronounced Eon.
00:28:35.000 That looks like a sketch.
00:28:37.000 Yeah.
00:28:38.000 But he's just, he...
00:28:40.000 I'm sorry, you all, we're going to need a minute.
00:28:43.000 Shouldn't be there.
00:28:45.000 We're going to need a minute.
00:28:48.000 You mispronounced Eon.
00:28:49.000 It should be noted that McConnell, by the way, is 81 years old,
00:28:52.000 which is old for a tortoise.
00:28:55.000 What did you expect?
00:28:59.000 I know.
00:29:00.000 Would any of you thrust an 82-year-old or a 90-year-old into the public spotlight with what is meant to be a high-stress job that requires executive functioning?
00:29:10.000 Yeah.
00:29:11.000 If they're hot.
00:29:12.000 Stop it.
00:29:12.000 I'm sorry.
00:29:14.000 I feel like he answered the question, though.
00:29:16.000 Yeah.
00:29:17.000 How do you feel about running for re-election?
00:29:18.000 Yes.
00:29:19.000 And by the way, he fell down, or there were rumors that he fell down earlier this year.
00:29:25.000 And then there was another moment caught on camera.
00:29:28.000 Again, it's sad, but the point is, this doesn't exist in a vacuum.
00:29:31.000 This is Mitch McConnell in July.
00:29:33.000 Ugh.
00:29:35.000 Mini strokes.
00:29:47.000 Yeah.
00:29:48.000 I know a lot about, uh, medical things.
00:29:52.000 Are you okay, Mitch?
00:29:56.000 Anything else you want to say, or should I just go back to you?
00:30:03.000 That's terrible!
00:30:03.000 That's sad!
00:30:05.000 But the people who are still forcing him to run for real are evil.
00:30:09.000 Why are they doing that?
00:30:10.000 They're evil.
00:30:11.000 Is it because he's a show-in?
00:30:12.000 Is that what it is?
00:30:12.000 It's because he's a shell.
00:30:14.000 He's an empty suit and they're the ones.
00:30:17.000 You think that former Vice President Biden is the one pulling the strings?
00:30:20.000 For crying out loud.
00:30:22.000 You can say whatever you want about the guy.
00:30:23.000 The guy was never a far left woke.
00:30:25.000 He was a politician.
00:30:26.000 He was an idiot.
00:30:27.000 And I don't just mean he would lie.
00:30:29.000 He would make up stories that never happened with people he never met in places that don't even exist.
00:30:34.000 That's when he was young.
00:30:36.000 And now he's not sharp enough to do that, so it just comes out as embarrassing.
00:30:39.000 The people who are pulling the strings are the ones who are evil.
00:30:42.000 But let's go through this really quickly.
00:30:43.000 This is not just some kind of an outlier.
00:30:46.000 And when they say that, oh, well, look, Vivek would be the youngest candidate.
00:30:49.000 Well, he's in his late 30s.
00:30:50.000 I mean, I'm not saying that he's old, but certainly not young when you're talking about
00:30:55.000 Are you glad to be back, Senator?
00:30:56.000 What have you heard?
00:30:57.000 What have I heard about what?
00:30:58.000 About your return, how they felt about your return.
00:31:01.000 the most prominent examples. Diane Feinstein, right, senator from California. 90 years old.
00:31:08.000 Geez. How are you feeling, Senator? Are you glad to be back, Senator? What have you heard?
00:31:15.000 What have I heard about what about your return? How have they felt about you? No,
00:31:20.000 I haven't been gone. Okay. You should follow.
00:31:25.000 I haven't been going.
00:31:26.000 I've been working.
00:31:27.000 You've been working from home is what you're saying?
00:31:28.000 No, I've been here.
00:31:32.000 I've been voting.
00:31:33.000 Please, either no or don't vote.
00:31:36.000 Well, if you don't know, now you... Please, either know or don't know.
00:31:44.000 Yes, those are the two options.
00:31:45.000 And her daughter, by the way, got a power of attorney to manage her affairs, so effectively, you have Britney Spears, who's still a full-fledged voting senator.
00:31:54.000 Look, there's gotta be a line.
00:31:56.000 Yeah, like you gotta step down.
00:31:58.000 Well, if somebody has power of attorney to manage your affairs, now I know you can get power of attorney to, like, in worst case scenario, if somebody has, you know, maybe a chance of a stroke or something like that happen, you can do it in advance, but this is not in advance.
00:32:09.000 This is something that we can see happening right in front of us.
00:32:11.000 You can't be the person making big decisions for your constituents and ultimately for the American people as a whole.
00:32:18.000 It just can't be.
00:32:20.000 Well, let's go on to another favorite.
00:32:23.000 83-year-old congresswoman from California, Nancy Pelosi.
00:32:26.000 Ten states, as I said, on Friday started their early voting the day that we lost Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
00:32:34.000 But to be clear, you're not taking any arrows out of your quiver.
00:32:36.000 You're not ruling anything out.
00:32:40.000 Good morning.
00:32:42.000 Sunday morning.
00:32:44.000 Yes.
00:32:46.000 Okay.
00:32:47.000 All right.
00:32:48.000 All right.
00:32:48.000 There are no arrows left in my quiver.
00:32:51.000 Do you like turtles?
00:32:52.000 Good morning.
00:32:54.000 83 years old.
00:32:55.000 Her LinkedIn lists her as an avid drinker and stock market guru.
00:33:02.000 She's still got some pluck.
00:33:03.000 Over the course of your career, has your husband ever made a stock purchase or sale based on information you've received from him?
00:33:08.000 No.
00:33:09.000 Absolutely not.
00:33:11.000 Basically.
00:33:13.000 Hold on.
00:33:14.000 I want to play that clip.
00:33:16.000 We don't have our body language expert in, but that's what's known as the melting candle power pose when she answers.
00:33:21.000 Play it.
00:33:26.000 Yeah, that's a crazy person.
00:33:27.000 Okay, we got it.
00:33:28.000 By the way, she's fallen on tough times though.
00:33:30.000 She has been named the new face of Bud Light.
00:33:33.000 I'm gonna say it's not a bad ad.
00:33:36.000 No.
00:33:38.000 Are those digitally enhanced?
00:33:41.000 No, the butt light's real.
00:33:42.000 Okay.
00:33:44.000 I was checking.
00:33:45.000 At least I'm thirsty.
00:33:48.000 We have another, we have Rosa DeLauro, she's 80 years old, and a congresswoman from Connecticut.
00:33:55.000 You've been in this role for a very long time, and you're seeking another term.
00:33:59.000 What is it as you look ahead that you say, I need to stay in this role, the voters need me?
00:34:04.000 Don't take no for an answer, and never give up.
00:34:07.000 And I live by those principles.
00:34:08.000 Sometimes you should take no for an answer.
00:34:10.000 The Hot Topic employee works on commission, Rosa!
00:34:15.000 By the way, before she was a representative, I knew that I'd seen her before.
00:34:19.000 Yep.
00:34:22.000 Spitting image.
00:34:23.000 Then we have another one.
00:34:24.000 And again, all of the references are available at ladderwithcreditor.com.
00:34:27.000 This is not normal.
00:34:28.000 This is well past the age of retirement.
00:34:30.000 Now we have another 80-year-old.
00:34:32.000 We have Frederica Wilson.
00:34:34.000 I was about to say Wilkinson.
00:34:35.000 I was thinking of Tom Wilkinson.
00:34:36.000 Great actor.
00:34:37.000 Underrated.
00:34:38.000 Frederica Wilson, a congresswoman from Florida.
00:34:42.000 With one of her signature hats.
00:34:44.000 Congresswoman, good morning.
00:34:45.000 Great to see you.
00:34:46.000 Good morning.
00:34:48.000 Good morning.
00:34:48.000 I can barely hear you.
00:34:50.000 Maybe that's because you have a hair helmet glued to your head.
00:34:54.000 That's the kind of outfit that you would never... That's the kind of outfit that makes horses rear.
00:34:59.000 Yes.
00:35:01.000 When was the last time you saw that in the street?
00:35:04.000 Just someone you'd be like, that's a crazy person.
00:35:07.000 If you're on a horse, you've got to turn your horse around.
00:35:10.000 It's going to spook.
00:35:11.000 And your dog's going to bark.
00:35:12.000 Yeah, if you were walking with your child, you'd be like, well we're going to cross the road.
00:35:14.000 That's a crazy person.
00:35:15.000 I can't hear you!
00:35:17.000 Female birds will try to mate with you.
00:35:21.000 It's not safe.
00:35:22.000 It's just not a safe outfit is what I'm saying.
00:35:24.000 That's true.
00:35:24.000 And by the way, she's older now.
00:35:26.000 She should be retired, right?
00:35:27.000 She should live off the money that she made after quitting the obscure 90s rap group that she formed.
00:35:32.000 Is that really her?
00:35:34.000 We are NWH or n****s with hats.
00:35:37.000 Is that really her?
00:35:39.000 Sorry.
00:35:41.000 Smash the rumble button if you think this is better than the late night fab five.
00:35:47.000 The strike force five?
00:35:48.000 Strike force five.
00:35:49.000 Get it right.
00:35:50.000 The strike force.
00:35:50.000 Strike force five.
00:35:51.000 Because they strike at you with force.
00:35:53.000 Can we admonish?
00:35:54.000 We have to admonish Yakuza and Toolman.
00:35:58.000 There's no rumble button anymore.
00:35:58.000 Why?
00:35:59.000 It's a thumbs up.
00:36:01.000 At rumble?
00:36:01.000 At rumble.
00:36:02.000 Oh, okay.
00:36:03.000 We need a bit of admonishment here.
00:36:04.000 Hit the admonishment.
00:36:05.000 I think it's time to admonish that entire crew over there.
00:36:07.000 Yep.
00:36:08.000 Oh, somebody was reading Twitter last night, I guess.
00:36:12.000 Hey, don't discourage it.
00:36:13.000 It's good for your soul.
00:36:14.000 My point is, somebody here wasn't.
00:36:17.000 I responded to it like we like to smash the rumble button.
00:36:22.000 And this brings us to the battle of the ball.
00:36:26.000 Former Vice President Biden, who is 80 years old.
00:36:29.000 And look, it was tough to pick a clip.
00:36:33.000 So take your pick.
00:36:34.000 Here's a montage.
00:36:36.000 America is a nation that can be defined in a single word.
00:36:40.000 I was gonna foot him, uh, foot, foot... Highly ineffective strategy demoralized!
00:36:45.000 True Internet suffered the pressure!
00:36:47.000 An estimation of somewhere between 700 billion and a trillion three hundred million billion dollars.
00:36:54.000 Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids.
00:36:59.000 I don't know what the difference between breaking your arm and having a mental breakdown is.
00:37:04.000 I must be white!
00:37:06.000 Eight E-I-G-H percent.
00:37:09.000 God save the Queen, man.
00:37:12.000 And now, of course, he's 80 years old and he's a child care enthusiast.
00:37:15.000 Sorry, he's a child enthusiast.
00:37:17.000 Child hair enthusiast.
00:37:19.000 You know what?
00:37:19.000 You want to see my impression of a liberal watching that clip, those clips?
00:37:23.000 He has a stutter.
00:37:24.000 Yeah.
00:37:25.000 Oh, you can't make fun of it.
00:37:26.000 He suffered from a stutter.
00:37:27.000 If you guys think that's funny, then that's on you.
00:37:29.000 Here's my impression of a Joe Biden strategist watching that.
00:37:33.000 Can we find an old clip of Dan Quayle?
00:37:36.000 Somebody help me!
00:37:37.000 Quayle?
00:37:38.000 Yeah, Quayle.
00:37:40.000 It was a comedic witch hunt.
00:37:41.000 The same thing with George W. Bush.
00:37:42.000 That's how you know the media's not looking out for you.
00:37:44.000 Of course, George W. Bush mispronounced nuclear.
00:37:47.000 Nucular?
00:37:48.000 Nuclear.
00:37:49.000 It's funny, okay?
00:37:50.000 But it's not that big of a deal.
00:37:51.000 This man is senile.
00:37:52.000 This man doesn't know where he is.
00:37:54.000 That's how you know.
00:37:55.000 Where are the comics talking about this?
00:37:57.000 It's incredibly rare.
00:38:00.000 And by the way, an honorable mention.
00:38:01.000 Just while we're talking about capabilities of representatives, and this is how you know that it's not a meritocracy, people got mad that we made fun of him, but we tried to make fun of him so that he wouldn't be a representative in order to avoid exactly what is happening, John Fetterman.
00:38:18.000 Hey everybody, it's Jon and Giselle.
00:38:20.000 As you can see, we hit a little bump on the campaign trail.
00:38:24.000 Yeah, it was on Friday.
00:38:26.000 I just wasn't feeling very well, so I decided, you know what, I need to get checked out, so I went to the hospital.
00:38:31.000 I need you to get checked out.
00:38:33.000 An unelected Supreme Court justice will try to blow up our economy.
00:38:37.000 That's on them, if they have to judge on that.
00:38:42.000 And the Eagles!
00:38:45.000 Are so much better than eagles!
00:38:51.000 Mr. Fetterman.
00:38:53.000 Yeah?
00:38:53.000 You need any help?
00:38:54.000 I need all the help I can get.
00:38:56.000 Yes!
00:39:00.000 Well, that last one wasn't necessarily his... It wasn't his fault.
00:39:03.000 It wasn't necessarily his fault.
00:39:04.000 Well, sometimes God doesn't like the flag behind people like that.
00:39:08.000 Well, maybe that's the case.
00:39:10.000 And then George Zimmerman ran out and punched him.
00:39:12.000 He's a giant man, huh?
00:39:14.000 Yeah, well, you have to, the weight class, he gets put into the super heavyweight with the goiters.
00:39:18.000 Now, he's only 54, but again, he had a stroke in May before he was elected.
00:39:27.000 And then he had multiple...
00:39:28.000 He had a stroke.
00:42:23.000 Because of Cialis and Viagra.
00:42:24.000 Those old broads get around.
00:42:26.000 And now you can get erect.
00:42:29.000 Slowly.
00:42:29.000 With the help of technology.
00:42:31.000 They get around slowly.
00:42:32.000 God bless those.
00:42:33.000 The tennis balls and those walkers are a turn-on.
00:42:37.000 Old perverts!
00:42:38.000 Well what happens is they're widows!
00:42:40.000 They're widows!
00:42:41.000 Who are they saving it for?
00:42:42.000 Yep.
00:42:43.000 Hard and wrinkled, I call it.
00:42:44.000 Hard and wrinkled.
00:42:45.000 And it takes a while to identify the clap.
00:42:50.000 It burns!
00:42:51.000 It burns!
00:42:52.000 So this is something, and again, it's easy to laugh at, and of course, yeah, it is kind of funny, but it's also a little bit sad, but when you understand that what is happening right now in this country with the representatives, it's what's happening to a lot of seniors across this country, and it is your job.
00:43:06.000 This whole meme, by the way, of OK Boomer and now Gen Z will apply it to anyone, they apply it to Gen X, they apply it to millennials.
00:43:13.000 The idea that, oh, you're old, you don't know anything.
00:43:16.000 Well, hold on a second.
00:43:17.000 I get that older people can be out of touch, but they do have something to offer.
00:43:21.000 It used to be considered wisdom, but now we simply throw them.
00:43:26.000 Throw them away like refuse.
00:43:27.000 Toss them in a pile or, you know, maybe they're useful as an empty suit as a politician.
00:43:31.000 Hey, you know what, young folks out there?
00:43:33.000 Appreciate, appreciate your parents, appreciate your grandparents.
00:43:36.000 and that's going to be around...
00:43:37.000 ...
00:43:46.000 ...then that much time.
00:43:47.000 No, that's fair.
00:43:48.000 They have a restraining order potentially against him.
00:43:50.000 That's not true.
00:43:51.000 What we actually looked at was a couple of politicians that are very old, that we disagree with, that we didn't put in this segment, like Bernie Sanders.
00:43:57.000 Very old.
00:43:58.000 He was on the Sunday shows and he sounded very much still the lucid communist that he is, right?
00:44:03.000 So just because we disagreed with him doesn't make him out of touch or unable to, I guess, serve in capacity in government.
00:44:09.000 Also, Donald Trump.
00:44:10.000 The guy's out there playing golf.
00:44:12.000 He's walking around, hitting golf shots, doing everything that's normal for somebody who's doing just fine.
00:44:17.000 He's old.
00:44:18.000 Right.
00:44:18.000 But he's somebody who's still all there.
00:44:21.000 His fuel is revenge.
00:44:22.000 Yes.
00:44:22.000 Well, yeah.
00:44:24.000 He can't wait.
00:44:25.000 He can't wait.
00:44:26.000 Eventually he'll decline to a point where he shouldn't serve either.
00:44:30.000 All that hate's gonna burn you up, Grandpa.
00:44:32.000 It keeps me warm!
00:44:33.000 That's right.
00:44:35.000 Little Red Dawn for you.
00:44:37.000 Little Red Dawn.
00:44:38.000 Swayze!
00:44:38.000 Love Swayze.
00:44:40.000 I'd love that.
00:44:41.000 Can he do the lift?
00:44:44.000 Not anymore.
00:44:45.000 I know he's passed away.
00:44:46.000 But these people hold on to power too.
00:44:48.000 So look at Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
00:44:50.000 She was so, I guess, into staying in office.
00:44:54.000 She had pancreatic cancer and she stayed.
00:44:56.000 She did, but she stayed past the point where she could have stepped down and said, you know what, President Obama, go ahead and put another one of me in this chair.
00:45:04.000 She didn't.
00:45:04.000 She stayed, and that was one of the biggest gifts.
00:45:07.000 I'm not saying her dying.
00:45:08.000 I'm saying that if she's going to leave the Supreme Court, whether it's health reasons, passing away, or just resigning, she did it under Trump administration, and that gave us another seat on the Supreme Court.
00:45:17.000 Well, you know what, actually, and again, my quorum is not with Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
00:45:21.000 I remember they tried to do RBG.
00:45:24.000 Remember, someone pulled it up from Mission Control, the video of her exercising.
00:45:28.000 Like, look how spry she is.
00:45:30.000 You think those producers didn't know?
00:45:31.000 Look, you've been in enough film sets.
00:45:33.000 You've been in enough documentary sets.
00:45:34.000 When she's moving around with rubber bands and dumbbells, like, okay, don't move.
00:45:39.000 They put the dumbbell in her hand, like, okay, clasp it.
00:45:43.000 And then action.
00:45:44.000 We'll add some music.
00:45:47.000 We'll add some music.
00:45:48.000 It'll be fine.
00:45:48.000 And a wind fan.
00:45:49.000 Yes.
00:45:49.000 It's those people who I have a serious problem with.
00:45:52.000 And again, it's the entertainment, it's the entertainment, political, big tech, industrial complex.
00:45:57.000 I also think part of it is just people like this know that if they quit, they're going to die.
00:46:04.000 Like what's keeping them alive is that sort of that.
00:46:07.000 That grind, that job.
00:46:08.000 Well, that's Joe Paterno, right?
00:46:09.000 That's because they're empty and they have no purpose.
00:46:11.000 We got the video.
00:46:12.000 Yeah, like your grandkids should be your purpose.
00:46:14.000 Yeah, exactly.
00:46:14.000 Family should matter, you know, but in a lot of cases, they want to suckle at the public teeth.
00:46:20.000 Yeah, here you go.
00:46:21.000 Again, my problem isn't with RBG.
00:46:23.000 My problem is with the media.
00:46:26.000 Well, first off, you have the entertainment industry who decided to make this.
00:46:28.000 I don't know if this is from a documentary.
00:46:30.000 This is from the documentary I think that was on Netflix.
00:46:32.000 I'm not entirely sure.
00:46:33.000 This is her working out?
00:46:34.000 Yeah.
00:46:34.000 It's seen in How Ruth Bader Ginsburg Stays in Shape.
00:46:38.000 Then there was a documentary on Netflix about her.
00:46:40.000 Then there was a documentary and there was also a scripted film that came out at the same time.
00:46:44.000 They were really, really pushing hard because they really wanted her to stick around for a little while because they were afraid of what could happen with the courts.
00:46:50.000 And then CNN deciding to disseminate the script, knowing entirely that it is false, and the people who were involved on big tech platforms in promoting this kind of content to trick you into thinking, Yeah, she's doing great!
00:47:04.000 While she was dying a slow, painful death.
00:47:06.000 This is what they showed you.
00:47:08.000 I think this is within the year that she died.
00:47:10.000 There you go.
00:47:12.000 Is there no audio here?
00:47:14.000 He's pulling her up almost entirely.
00:47:18.000 Look at her!
00:47:18.000 Look at her face!
00:47:19.000 I gotta get my hand out of my pants.
00:47:21.000 Brian!
00:47:23.000 Sorry.
00:47:24.000 Let me get it out of my pants.
00:47:26.000 You have soft hands for a colored!
00:47:30.000 She didn't say that.
00:47:31.000 She didn't say that.
00:47:32.000 That was Stephen's very good Ruth Bader Ginsburg impression.
00:47:36.000 She is on an actual plank.
00:47:37.000 Look at that.
00:47:38.000 Very impressive.
00:47:41.000 She's never lifted a dumbbell.
00:47:42.000 She's never lifted a dumbbell a day in her life.
00:47:45.000 This is propaganda, right?
00:47:47.000 It's propaganda.
00:47:48.000 Just like when... I'm not saying that Ruth Bader Ginsburg was Hitler, just to be clear.
00:47:51.000 But I'm saying, remember Adolf Hitler?
00:47:52.000 He had done so much meth and morphine and heroin that his skin became paper thin.
00:47:57.000 And so that's when they started putting out propaganda like, Mein Führer is more healthy than ever!
00:48:02.000 And he would come out and say, and then he would collapse.
00:48:05.000 He did, that was from yoga and eating vegetables.
00:48:08.000 Yeah, he also was kept young by hate.
00:48:10.000 Yes.
00:48:12.000 So anyway, that's just, it's just, it's a problem that I have because I've seen it.
00:48:16.000 I've seen it in the entertainment industry.
00:48:18.000 Is this new to American politics?
00:48:21.000 Before you have the ancient in there?
00:48:23.000 It used to be older people because they were wiser.
00:48:25.000 But now people who are career politicians who are staying in well into their 80s and 90s, that was not the norm.
00:48:31.000 That was not the norm.
00:48:32.000 And the problem is, these are basically lifetime positions.
00:48:35.000 Not to mention, when you're talking about politicians, hey, when we talk about the swamp, Sorry, I was about to say Hurricane.
00:48:40.000 I was just talking about CNN.
00:48:43.000 Anthony Fauci was never elected.
00:48:46.000 No.
00:48:46.000 Just to be clear, The Swamp is a bunch of people who are appointed, basically lifetime appointments.
00:48:51.000 They don't even have to go through at least the one election when they're young and then just sort of, you know, rest on their laurels.
00:48:57.000 Right.
00:48:57.000 Think of the hundreds of thousands of people you have who serve as bureaucrats in high six-figure paying positions in some instances for decades who are completely incompetent.
00:49:09.000 Something else that I should tell you, by the way, It's obviously not that hard of a job.
00:49:13.000 People act as though it's noble to go into public service.
00:49:17.000 First off, it's a misnomer.
00:49:18.000 I don't necessarily think that it's public service, but if Ruth Bader Ginsburg could be on the Supreme Court like that, if Nancy Pelosi can like that, if Mitch McConnell like that, Where else?
00:49:30.000 Where else could someone with those mental faculties perform a full-time job?
00:49:34.000 Right, you wouldn't want somebody like that as a flight traffic controller, for example.
00:49:40.000 Air traffic controller.
00:49:42.000 Ah man, great.
00:49:43.000 I wouldn't want one of them as a stewardess.
00:49:45.000 I don't want to touch their old wrinkled peanut skin hands when they hand me meat.
00:49:50.000 Ageist?
00:49:51.000 No, it's not about ageism.
00:49:51.000 Yes!
00:49:53.000 Listen, there should be term limits.
00:49:54.000 I'm a big fan of term limits in a lot of cases, maybe even across the board at all the positions.
00:49:59.000 The Supreme Court should not be a place where you go to die, either.
00:50:02.000 I'm sorry, that's just not how we intended this thing to be.
00:50:04.000 It shouldn't be at the whims of a president whether you get to serve or not and continue on the court.
00:50:08.000 I get that.
00:50:09.000 Joe Biden's trying to do that by stacking the courts so that the court votes for him.
00:50:12.000 I don't know, we could end up with maybe a hundred Supreme Court justices and courts all over.
00:50:16.000 But you should have some kind of lever that says, this person is no longer fit.
00:50:21.000 And you know what?
00:50:22.000 It's brilliant.
00:50:22.000 I think we actually do.
00:50:23.000 Nobody ever pulls it.
00:50:25.000 Nobody ever says that.
00:50:28.000 I don't know what the demarcation line would be, but there's got to be some kind of test.
00:50:33.000 If you resemble someone who's retarded.
00:50:36.000 There's gotta be something to test.
00:50:38.000 Or maybe this, would you want that person performing surgery on you?
00:50:41.000 If somebody that old walked in, you'd go, I... Well, no, no, that's not, because no one would want anyone performing, I wouldn't want anyone other than a surgeon.
00:50:48.000 I think we should even, the bar could be lowered.
00:50:50.000 You have them side by side with the film radio.
00:50:50.000 Cognition.
00:50:55.000 And then you ask them to repeat the lines like a speak and spell.
00:50:58.000 And if radio is more mentally competent than your representative, then we throw them in a gator trench.
00:51:06.000 A gator trench is a quick way to go, believe it or not, guys.
00:51:08.000 It's not.
00:51:09.000 Because you get rolled.
00:51:10.000 Those would be crocodiles.
00:51:10.000 Yeah.
00:51:10.000 No, no, no.
00:51:11.000 Gators are more skittish.
00:51:12.000 Oh, is that what it is?
00:51:14.000 So you just die of some kind of a brain-eating... We went over this yesterday when we were talking about boots.
00:51:19.000 You tried to impress me with your Cayman wallet.
00:51:21.000 I'm like, well, it's not a gator.
00:51:22.000 Yeah, I know.
00:51:24.000 Which means it's not as supple.
00:51:25.000 There's a gator farmer out there like, I knew it!
00:51:27.000 I was thinking it!
00:51:28.000 He said it, finally!
00:51:29.000 I'm joining my club.
00:51:31.000 Alright, we do have to hit on this right now because this can affect you.
00:51:33.000 Obviously, Hurricane Adalia.
00:51:36.000 Adalia.
00:51:36.000 Adalia.
00:51:38.000 I believe it's Adalia or is it Adalia?
00:51:39.000 I don't know.
00:51:40.000 I don't care.
00:51:41.000 Iggy a hurricane.
00:51:43.000 Florida is now, they're cleaning up after this hurricane has made landfall.
00:51:49.000 Made landfall yesterday, but here's a clip.
00:51:51.000 We have really good retail in terms of all the counties, I think, other than the Big Bend proper, the Tampa Bay area.
00:51:59.000 The problem is the signer is just doing the time work.
00:52:01.000 Leon County is doing well.
00:52:05.000 We're still assessing what is all going on on the ground in the places that had the initial impact.
00:52:11.000 His emergency response team isn't diverse enough.
00:52:13.000 I'm probably going to try to get down to some of those counties today.
00:52:16.000 No, they're not diverse enough.
00:52:18.000 They're so straight and white.
00:52:20.000 I know.
00:52:20.000 Well, I don't know about the signer, but I don't think that's his choice.
00:52:22.000 I think you're kind of assigned that.
00:52:24.000 And of course, our thoughts and prayers for anyone affected out there in Florida, but we actually have our on-the-ground correspondent, Mr. Thomas Finnegan, for the latest updates.
00:52:34.000 Oh good.
00:52:45.000 Hi, Stephen.
00:52:46.000 Yeah, it's been a while.
00:52:47.000 Thomas, what do you have for us here today?
00:52:50.000 Well, it's been an unusually hot summer, and I wanted to display the effects that it's had on the environment.
00:52:57.000 So, if you can see behind me, the corn has been burnt to a crisp by the heat and sun.
00:53:02.000 Well, that's interesting, but you're nowhere near the hurricane.
00:53:04.000 That's the story.
00:53:05.000 So, what are you doing there, and why are you holding a flashlight?
00:53:10.000 Well, I figured since I'm out here anyway, I could do a parody of that scene from Signs where the alien leg goes into the corn stalk.
00:53:18.000 Yeah, but it's day.
00:53:19.000 It's day and you're not a comedian.
00:53:21.000 Sh** You know what makes me laugh?
00:53:26.000 You know what makes me laugh?
00:53:28.000 You know what?
00:53:33.000 Maybe the world needs Strike Force 5.
00:53:34.000 I think we do.
00:53:35.000 I'm not above acknowledging when I've Short-changed you.
00:53:40.000 He's got to get it right eventually, right?
00:53:42.000 I don't know.
00:53:42.000 I don't know why we... I don't... Why did we sign a 12-year contract?
00:53:45.000 I don't know.
00:53:46.000 He's a good negotiator, Steven!
00:53:48.000 Bad move.
00:53:48.000 He's a good negotiator.
00:53:50.000 I was way off!
00:53:51.000 A lot of content.
00:53:53.000 But in September, by the way, we're discussing that.
00:53:54.000 We will have the Hodgetwins.
00:53:56.000 Of course, their show is going to be starting here on Mug Club.
00:53:58.000 Brian Callen is going to be starting the Brian Callen Show on Mug Club.
00:54:00.000 Tomorrow.
00:54:01.000 Tomorrow.
00:54:01.000 That starts tomorrow?
00:54:02.000 Tomorrow.
00:54:03.000 September 1, dude.
00:54:04.000 What?
00:54:04.000 I stick to my deadlines.
00:54:06.000 Oh, wow.
00:54:06.000 I didn't realize that.
00:54:06.000 I thought it was... Oh, I was thinking of the Hodgetwins date.
00:54:08.000 We can move the date up.
00:54:11.000 No, he can't.
00:54:12.000 Yeah, exactly.
00:54:14.000 So, yeah, Brian Cowan.
00:54:15.000 Of course, you get Nick DiPaolo already Monday through Thursday.
00:54:18.000 And by the way, to be clear, if you're not a member of Mug Club, Nick DiPaolo's show is also, all of their shows are still available like on Apple, they're available, you know, you can watch them on Facebook and Instagram and YouTube.
00:54:26.000 The free portion.
00:54:26.000 The free portion.
00:54:27.000 So that's what we do with Mug Club.
00:54:29.000 There's about 45 minutes, I think, with Nick.
00:54:31.000 It's about 35 minutes.
00:54:32.000 And then you get the extended, the stuff that we could never say on any platform.
00:54:36.000 Well, Rumble probably would allow it, but even then, it shouldn't be seen by everybody.
00:54:40.000 Dictaphone uncensored.
00:54:43.000 Can you imagine Alex Jones uncensored?
00:54:46.000 Oh lord.
00:54:46.000 So you can go and watch their free portion, but none of this happens.
00:54:50.000 There is no free content wherever you're watching Rumble or YouTube without MugClub.
00:54:55.000 We appreciate it.
00:54:56.000 Brian Callen, September 23rd, is going to be in Melbourne, Florida.
00:54:59.000 That's right, my friend.
00:55:01.000 The Unreasonable Tour.
00:55:02.000 Go to briancallen.com.
00:55:03.000 You just made that up right now.
00:55:04.000 It is not labeled that yet.
00:55:05.000 He's like, I should call it Unreasonable.
00:55:07.000 I'm like, well, fine.
00:55:07.000 We don't have the graphic for it.
00:55:09.000 I wrote it down.
00:55:09.000 I wrote it down on your notepad.
00:55:11.000 It is going to be Chat Thursday.
00:55:12.000 You can click right there, as you just saw that graphic, to join Mug Club.
00:55:15.000 We're about to take a bunch of your chats.
00:55:18.000 And you know what?
00:55:18.000 That's always a lot of fun.
00:55:19.000 It is.
00:55:19.000 And of course, we'll see you tomorrow.
00:55:20.000 Alex Jones tomorrow.
00:55:22.000 Rumble.
00:55:22.000 Thank you very much.
