00:02:58.000 Again?

00:02:59.000 I don't know if you guys can see the steam.

00:03:00.000 No, no, I nuked the tea.

00:03:02.000 Oh, do it to yourself.

00:03:05.000 Speaking of nukes, we'll be talking about Taiwan and China later.

00:03:07.000 That's perfect.

00:03:08.000 And Japan.

00:03:11.000 Ooh.

00:03:12.000 Nuclear weapons?

00:03:13.000 Yeah.

00:03:14.000 We have a lot to talk about.

00:03:16.000 Look, before I introduce everyone today, I get that most of you say, why do I care about Taiwan and Japan and it doesn't affect us and China?

00:03:24.000 Actually, it really does.

00:03:25.000 This is something that is We are on the potential verge of a World War III scenario with, if you look at how tensions have escalated, and if you look at the rhetoric from China and Taiwan and understand the United States' history with Japan.

00:03:41.000 Look, here's the thing.

00:03:43.000 Non-interventionism is not going to be an option long term should China decide to march. 0.83

00:03:49.000 And I'm a non-interventionist.

00:03:50.000 This isn't a bunch of people fighting over sand dunes that doesn't affect us, that we don't care about.

00:03:54.000 We're not dealing with Tuscan raiders. 0.94

00:03:55.000 We're dealing with people who could have all of the world's IP, semiconductors, electronic technology in their hands and really could involve the entire European Union.

00:04:05.000 It's a scary thing.

00:04:05.000 It's a scary thing, so I'm going to try and make it so that your eyes don't glaze over, because there are a bunch of other interesting history lessons on Taiwan and China.

00:04:13.000 I'm not going to get through that. 1.00

00:04:14.000 Basically, you need to know that China is, in fact, asshole. 1.00

00:04:17.000 Don't trust China! 1.00

00:04:18.000 China is asshole! 1.00

00:04:20.000 That man deserves a Pulitzer and a Nobel Prize. 1.00

00:04:22.000 He does.

00:04:23.000 He's a hero.

00:04:23.000 If CNN can get some stuff, he needs some hardware.

00:04:26.000 Yeah, let's just take it from Desmond Tutu.

00:04:29.000 Yeah.

00:04:30.000 Just ship it to him.

00:04:30.000 He doesn't need it.

00:04:31.000 He doesn't need it?

00:04:31.000 No, just ship it to him.

00:04:32.000 Okay, well, that's what we'll do.

00:04:34.000 What do you do after you box it? 0.98

00:04:35.000 You ship it, smartass. 0.94

00:04:37.000 Okay, so we'll be talking about that. 0.84

00:04:38.000 We'll be talking about Fauci.

00:04:39.000 We'll be talking about the Facebook whistleblower.

00:04:40.000 That's right.

00:04:40.000 Beware the Trojan horse.

00:04:42.000 But first, Gerald A., how are you?

00:04:44.000 I am well.

00:04:44.000 I think she's a plant.

00:04:46.000 Like a ficus?

00:04:47.000 Or is that a Harvey Weinstein reference?

00:04:49.000 No.

00:04:49.000 A fern?

00:04:50.000 Oh, like controlled opposition.

00:04:54.000 I don't know, maybe. 0.98

00:04:56.000 I mean, it just seems a little... She's making the frogs gay! 1.00

00:04:59.000 Definitely doing that. 0.89

00:05:00.000 Yes.

00:05:00.000 We have Corda Black Garrett.

00:05:01.000 How are you?

00:05:01.000 What's up?

00:05:02.000 Good morning.

00:05:02.000 I don't like it, and you have the whitest hair on earth, so we will get letters.

00:05:06.000 And he has shows coming up here at the Tampa Improv on October 22nd through the 23rd, Orlando Improv.

00:05:12.000 It's like a Florida tour, 15th through 16th.

00:05:14.000 Dave Landa, how are you?

00:05:16.000 Good!

00:05:16.000 Yes, I'm great.

00:05:17.000 Rockin', uh... I want to thank a fan for making this shirt, because it's dope.

00:05:22.000 Is that Full House?

00:05:23.000 That is Full House throwing up the Wu-Tang.

00:05:26.000 Wow!

00:05:26.000 Yeah!

00:05:28.000 That is just a litany of copyright infringement.

00:05:30.000 Isn't it?

00:05:30.000 And the other day, you know what we missed?

00:05:32.000 When we should have done Wu-Tang Clams Ain't Nothin' to Shuck With.

00:05:36.000 Oh gosh!

00:05:37.000 For two days, I've been wrapping that just around my house.

00:05:40.000 These are the things that keep us up at night.

00:05:42.000 Isn't it?

00:05:42.000 Yeah.

00:05:43.000 Missed opportunities.

00:05:43.000 I'm like, ah, World War III and we missed Wu-Tang Clan.

00:05:46.000 We missed the shucking joke.

00:05:48.000 It's a genre.

00:05:49.000 That's awesome.

00:05:51.000 So I do have a couple of questions for you today.

00:05:52.000 The first one is, how much do you know about China and Taiwan?

00:05:55.000 You can comment below.

00:05:57.000 Let me know how much you know before this show and if you feel like you learned something after this show.

00:06:00.000 We're going to have a lot of references available today.

00:06:02.000 Because I want you to be able to do a deep dive into the history.

00:06:05.000 We don't have the time to do all of it.

00:06:06.000 We're going to talk more about why it matters now and how it affects all of us.

00:06:11.000 But first, speaking of someone who affects all of us, he's touched all of our lives.

00:06:16.000 Really?

00:06:16.000 Like a French Catholic priest, which is another story we'll talk about.

00:06:18.000 Yes.

00:06:20.000 Disney, in collaboration with National Geographic, Which used to just be, you know, it used to be called, well, it'll hold me over until the Sears wish list catalog.

00:06:31.000 Yeah.

00:06:32.000 It was, I didn't even know I was into this.

00:06:34.000 Yeah.

00:06:35.000 Well, we weren't.

00:06:35.000 We were like, well, take what we can get.

00:06:37.000 Okay.

00:06:38.000 Looks like a tube sock with a, with a dinner plate, but good enough for me.

00:06:41.000 I'm nine.

00:06:42.000 Dinner plate?

00:06:44.000 Slap a few neck rings in there.

00:06:46.000 Who's the, who's the wiser?

00:06:48.000 I like a, I like a mouth disc.

00:06:50.000 Yes.

00:06:53.000 I know there are cultural differences in what people find attractive.

00:06:56.000 Yes.

00:06:57.000 But who had a fashion show and someone walked out this beautiful, you know, African woman with wondrous, you know, that creamy smooth skin and bright white teeth, just gorgeous, sun-kissed. 1.00

00:07:08.000 Can we make her neck look like a giraffe? 1.00

00:07:12.000 Can we do that?

00:07:14.000 Can we invent ear gauges?

00:07:16.000 Yes!

00:07:16.000 Can we invent ear... I want her to look like she was yoked to a yak.

00:07:21.000 Yes.

00:07:23.000 Otherwise I won't get... No, no, unless she has the yak look. 1.00

00:07:27.000 Ew, that's ethnocentric!

00:07:29.000 It's like feet binding.

00:07:30.000 They're like, we're only making size one shoes.

00:07:33.000 That's it.

00:07:35.000 That's on their Tinders.

00:07:37.000 Don't even talk to me if you're bigger than size zero.

00:07:42.000 And the women are like, hey, look, I make small feet for you. 1.00

00:07:47.000 I'm in the five foot.

00:07:48.000 From what I've heard from people on Tinder, I would get no dings or whatever you do.

00:07:54.000 No, in China you'd be about average.

00:07:56.000 Well, no, I'd be taller.

00:07:58.000 You'd be like Shaq over there.

00:07:59.000 To be honest, superhero.

00:08:01.000 Seeking man who likes woman with plantar fasciitis.

00:08:04.000 Ooh, you're welcome with the rim.

00:08:07.000 My arch can never have enough support because I have no arches.

00:08:13.000 culture. Disney in collaboration with National Geographic.

00:08:18.000 They're releasing, we're going to react to this, they're releasing a documentary. Some

00:08:22.000 would say propaganda, by some I mean I. Phrasing Tony Fauci. Here's the teaser. When I think

00:08:32.000 about my dad growing up, I certainly think about that seriousness. He fathered children? But

00:08:37.000 very few people get to see.

00:08:40.000 He's funny, weird, and really playful.

00:08:44.000 God help us.

00:08:47.000 In 1981, HIV-AIDS was evolving rapidly and frighteningly.

00:08:52.000 There was anger at the government's response.

00:08:55.000 They were angry that you said they could get it from a cereal box.

00:08:58.000 Fast.

00:08:58.000 Yeah.

00:09:01.000 I got it off a toilet seat.

00:09:02.000 Post-traumatic stress syndrome.

00:09:04.000 From what? 1.00

00:09:05.000 Being a lying pussy? 1.00

00:09:06.000 When Kobe hit, he became this target. 1.00

00:09:08.000 My dad said, we're gonna get through this whole thing.

00:09:11.000 And he's held back.

00:09:12.000 You don't do it because you want to make money.

00:09:14.000 You don't do it for the glory.

00:09:16.000 You do it because you care.

00:09:18.000 When you're involved in a race to stop a horrible disease, you always feel you're not doing things quickly enough.

00:09:29.000 Dave, are you... Okay.

00:09:31.000 Alright, Dave.

00:09:32.000 Yeah, well, look.

00:09:35.000 We shouldn't have fed him the Wu-Tang clams.

00:09:37.000 I'm just glad we still have the bucket.

00:09:40.000 Dave, you okay, buddy?

00:09:43.000 There's a lot in there.

00:09:44.000 Yeah.

00:09:47.000 Did you see his daughter?

00:09:48.000 Yeah, okay, alright.

00:09:49.000 By the way, I love how they say he's not doing it for the glory or money, only he just so happens to get both of those things.

00:09:56.000 That's how he's paid.

00:09:57.000 He has more money than any other non-elected official in the United States government, and of course he's never met a camera he didn't like.

00:10:04.000 I'm sorry, Dave.

00:10:06.000 Let's just not lead with anything from Nat Geo in the future.

00:10:09.000 Or about Fauci, maybe.

00:10:10.000 Could somebody get me an old Nat Geo to settle my stomach?

00:10:15.000 I need the classic.

00:10:16.000 Can you bring up just a still image of, just pause it on that last, because he was talking about AIDS, right?

00:10:22.000 Yeah.

00:10:22.000 And then is he standing, he's standing in what looks like a World War II cemetery.

00:10:27.000 Oh no, they were putting out flags for somebody.

00:10:29.000 Like, all the deaths.

00:10:30.000 From AIDS?

00:10:31.000 I'm not sure.

00:10:32.000 Maybe it's all the people that he's... Come on, that's obviously a trick of the eye.

00:10:36.000 Right.

00:10:36.000 You want us to believe that all of the people who are having... Pardon me if you have children in the room.

00:10:42.000 I warn you that they shouldn't be here in three, two... People having unprotected anal sex with strangers in truck stops and dirty needles will fill Flanders Field. 1.00

00:10:49.000 In Flanders Field where sprites grow. 0.96

00:10:52.000 I think that's why they put white flags, because they were like, hey, we give up the immune system.

00:10:57.000 Yes!

00:10:58.000 It's a symbol.

00:11:01.000 It works both ways.

00:11:02.000 They are really deifying this guy.

00:11:04.000 Yeah, they are.

00:11:04.000 Yes.

00:11:04.000 Did you see that?

00:11:05.000 Like, I love the background music.

00:11:07.000 Always pay attention to that.

00:11:07.000 Like, it's this building to crescendo and it's like just making him out to be this superhero that's going off to battle against all these dark forces.

00:11:14.000 I'm like, no, you're the dark force that we're battling against.

00:11:17.000 What are you talking about?

00:11:18.000 He's been wrong about everything.

00:11:19.000 The white flags actually represent COVID deaths.

00:11:24.000 Oh, so same joke.

00:11:25.000 We gotta tie it in.

00:11:28.000 Not that that's funny at all.

00:11:29.000 It still plays, right?

00:11:30.000 No, no deaths are funny, just the fact that he went through the effort of putting white flags into Memorial to Tree.

00:11:36.000 I don't think he put all of them.

00:11:38.000 I mean, that'd take him a lot of time.

00:11:40.000 No, those are the yard workers.

00:11:41.000 Well, why, he's busy not figuring anything out?

00:11:44.000 Yes!

00:11:45.000 Hey guys, hold on.

00:11:46.000 Is there a camera?

00:11:46.000 I'll put one flag down.

00:11:47.000 He's busy saying everything so that he's technically never wrong.

00:11:50.000 Right.

00:11:51.000 He's like, well, there's no worry about finding a cure.

00:11:55.000 I've been putting out flags for the last 11 years.

00:11:58.000 But did you see my lawn?

00:12:00.000 Do you like it?

00:12:00.000 I wish this guy could actually be under oath.

00:12:03.000 Did you or did you not say that AIDS was airborne and that children could catch it being in the same breakfast nook as their parents?

00:12:10.000 I did.

00:12:11.000 But then after spending time in the bathhouses, I realized that it changed. 0.98

00:12:17.000 And they took me in a history search through anal bleaching. 0.97

00:12:20.000 I thought people were walking around with took a Slim Shady. 0.66

00:12:24.000 Turns out it's skin pigment.

00:12:26.000 I thought it was Frank and Berries, not Frank and Berry.

00:12:29.000 I don't know. 0.99

00:12:29.000 I thought they were having penis for breakfast. 0.99

00:12:32.000 Not to me- but I am quite fond of it Halloween when it becomes Boo-Berry Crunch. 0.98

00:12:37.000 You heard my daughter say it was funny.

00:12:41.000 I'm good at making ghosts.

00:12:43.000 Yes.

00:12:47.000 Gosh, this is just, look, this is a man who's, this just goes to show you when they pick a savior, they pick someone who they want to make a date, they're gonna, they're gonna, they're gonna bite down on a mouthpiece and keep swinging for the fences.

00:12:57.000 This guy's been wrong about everything.

00:12:58.000 Yeah, and the only reason that they're picking this guy is because they needed an anti-Trump.

00:13:02.000 They needed somebody as the savior who, by the way, as a doctor, said, well, I couldn't quite say what I wanted to say because Donald Trump was heavy-handed.

00:13:09.000 I'm like, I thought as a doctor you were supposed to just tell us the truth, period.

00:13:12.000 It doesn't matter if you get fired.

00:13:14.000 If you get fired, that's what you're supposed to do to make sure you protect the American people.

00:13:17.000 It's what they're saying you did.

00:13:18.000 But that being said, I mean, look, we never saw Fauci while Trump was president.

00:13:24.000 That's like Michael J. Fox's doctor being like, I can't tell him this.

00:13:28.000 He's a star.

00:13:30.000 He is.

00:13:30.000 Let's just tell him he's... You've just got a nervous tic.

00:13:34.000 It's happy anxiety.

00:13:35.000 You're a nervous guy.

00:13:37.000 Yeah, you know, look, sometimes there are remnant effects from earthquakes.

00:13:41.000 Come on, I don't want to tell Alan Thicke he's, you know, got something.

00:13:45.000 Why did he die?

00:13:46.000 It's just a hard conversation.

00:13:47.000 Could have been an auto wreck.

00:13:48.000 It's just a difficult conversation.

00:13:50.000 So doctors, hey, but you know what?

00:13:51.000 That might be different if he had seen a patient in 40 years, doctor!

00:13:56.000 All right, you can check out, Gerald has his shirt, you can get it at CrowderShop.

00:14:00.000 CrowderShop.com.

00:14:01.000 And the best way to tune in, look, is I just ask you, hit the notification bell, Well, if you're watching, because subscriptions don't really mean a whole lot, so hit that notification bell.

00:14:10.000 And the easiest thing is to look at the live show Monday through Thursday at 10 a.m.

00:14:12.000 Eastern.

00:14:13.000 We go an extra hour on Mug Club.

00:14:16.000 We'll take your chat a little bit.

00:14:17.000 Okay.

00:14:18.000 So, this is another story that we have. 0.61

00:14:20.000 A new report published by the Independent Commission on Sexual Abuse found that the Roman Catholic clergy in France have sexually abused Ugh.

00:14:30.000 216,000 minors.

00:14:32.000 What?

00:14:33.000 Since 1950.

00:14:33.000 I gotta be honest, 216,000 seems kinda light for the French.

00:14:39.000 I bet a lot haven't come forward because they're mimes. 1.00

00:14:42.000 Well, you know what, you make a good point.

00:14:43.000 I mean, they basically have red wine on their lunchables as priests.

00:14:46.000 It's a layup.

00:14:47.000 What have you been doing? 0.99

00:14:48.000 Actually, I went to Catholic school and I never realized that the whole time I was just dodging dicks like tackling dummies. 0.97

00:14:55.000 Did you dodge them all? 0.99

00:14:57.000 Huh?

00:14:57.000 Did you dodge them all?

00:15:01.000 You're out of here!

00:15:02.000 What?

00:15:03.000 I got fired for being touched.

00:15:05.000 And I know that there are... I know there are... Look, of course there are a lot of great Catholics out there who are watching this.

00:15:10.000 Our problem is with the clergy.

00:15:12.000 Our problem is with the higher-ups.

00:15:14.000 This is something that absolutely should not happen.

00:15:17.000 You think you get to like 1,000 kids?

00:15:20.000 Yeah.

00:15:20.000 You say something's going on here.

00:15:22.000 Right.

00:15:22.000 You think you get to 50,000.

00:15:24.000 Maybe you stop talking in Latin.

00:15:26.000 You go, hey, wait, wait, hold on a second.

00:15:27.000 This seems like it's getting out of control.

00:15:29.000 200,000.

00:15:30.000 At what point do you do something?

00:15:31.000 Right, and it's a global problem.

00:15:33.000 I'm sorry, Michael Voris, but we're not exactly buying that the church was infiltrated by some rogue priests when it happens on almost every continent.

00:15:41.000 I'm leaving out Antarctica.

00:15:42.000 To be fair, the last 150 were breakthrough gropings.

00:15:44.000 That's true, yes.

00:15:46.000 Incredibly rare.

00:15:46.000 They did come up with a vaccine for it, just not everybody's at their dosage.

00:15:50.000 And instead of bread and wine, somebody just got the butter.

00:15:53.000 Yes.

00:15:55.000 If anybody got that last Tango in Paris joke.

00:15:58.000 I appreciate it.

00:16:00.000 My favorite joke from Dennis Miller is, he's saying, I went to confessional the other day, I said you first!

00:16:05.000 Yeah, I love that.

00:16:06.000 Yeah, as somebody who's raised Catholic, I do not dislike Catholics.

00:16:10.000 Whenever I make those jokes on stage, it's at, you know, I say God's on my side of the joke, because I believe he is.

00:16:17.000 Yes, of course. 0.95

00:16:17.000 He hates pedophiles. 0.95

00:16:18.000 Maybe not Fauci's God. 0.76

00:16:19.000 Well, I don't know who Fauci prays to.

00:16:21.000 You mean himself?

00:16:22.000 Yeah, himself.

00:16:23.000 Not any God you pray to.

00:16:24.000 Yeah, definitely.

00:16:25.000 That's the thing when people are like, all paths lead to... Nope, no they don't.

00:16:28.000 They do not all lead to the same place.

00:16:31.000 That's why I follow the Jesus God, Judeo-Christian God, or as I call him, Good Guy God. 0.90

00:16:35.000 He looks like Jim Henson threw him in a trash can.

00:16:38.000 I don't know who he's praying to.

00:16:42.000 And then he was washed in a steam cycle.

00:16:44.000 Okay.

00:16:46.000 So, my question to you is now at this point, I got a new dryer, it has a steam cycle, it's very nice.

00:16:51.000 It's weirdly accurate.

00:16:52.000 I'll never iron again!

00:16:55.000 Praise be to me!

00:16:58.000 I want to know if you people have been following the whistleblower scenario here.

00:17:01.000 We said, beware the Trojan horse.

00:17:02.000 Yes.

00:17:03.000 And there was information that was circulating, but we weren't able to confirm.

00:17:07.000 Sort of like, we'll talk about later, China ordering a huge amount of, are they CRP tests?

00:17:13.000 PCR.

00:17:14.000 PCR tests.

00:17:15.000 Sorry, CRP is C-reactive protein.

00:17:16.000 I get the acronyms mixed up.

00:17:17.000 That's okay.

00:17:18.000 PCR tests.

00:17:20.000 Back in mid-early 2019.

00:17:22.000 I just didn't want to talk about it yesterday until I knew it was right.

00:17:25.000 That's why it's important that you call us at the Madness.

00:17:27.000 All the references are available at ladderwithcredit.com.

00:17:30.000 So we knew, we suspected this yesterday.

00:17:32.000 Yeah.

00:17:32.000 And we had to confirm, do our due diligence.

00:17:34.000 But a lot of leftist ties with this whistleblower now.

00:17:39.000 And I want to know if you guys knew about that and how early you knew about that.

00:17:43.000 Frances Haugen, I want to make sure I get her name right. 0.83

00:17:47.000 Waugen.

00:17:48.000 Waugen?

00:17:50.000 Is that how it's pronounced?

00:17:53.000 I didn't mean to throw you off, I don't know.

00:17:55.000 I thought it was spelled H-O-G.

00:17:57.000 Hey, really quickly, this kind of hits a story we're going to get to in just a second on CNN.

00:18:01.000 Oh wow, they're talking about Taiwan right now.

00:18:03.000 China capable of launching full-scale invasion by 2025.

00:18:06.000 Or sorry, China capable of launching that invasion.

00:18:09.000 They can do it way earlier than 2025.

00:18:09.000 CNN is like, nothing to see, all is well!

00:18:15.000 It's not.

00:18:16.000 It is not well at all, just to be clear.

00:18:18.000 If something goes down, it's going to... Hey, why do you think they picked 2025?

00:18:22.000 I don't know.

00:18:24.000 After this term?

00:18:26.000 Why do you think Joe Biden decided to increase taxes?

00:18:29.000 Like, hey, which class should we increase taxes?

00:18:31.000 The .01%? 1.00

00:18:32.000 The 1%? 0.94

00:18:34.000 What's the percent of people who make more than $400,000 a year?

00:18:38.000 My exact salary cap.

00:18:40.000 That's the .124.

00:18:41.000 Yeah, let's go with that.

00:18:43.000 Random.

00:18:45.000 They're capable by 2015, so you should know how to vote.

00:18:49.000 Hey, we're going to tax everyone over $400,000, which just happens to be what Joe Biden makes.

00:18:52.000 It is just amazing.

00:18:53.000 It's very clear what they are doing.

00:18:55.000 They can do this a lot earlier.

00:18:56.000 I pray to God they don't.

00:18:58.000 Good guy God, not Fauci God.

00:18:59.000 Now, Frances Haugen, she testified before Congress yesterday.

00:19:03.000 Here's the thing.

00:19:05.000 Strongly advocating for increased government control over Facebook.

00:19:10.000 So we were live while it was going on and some things you may have missed from Ted Cruz, but here you go.

00:19:13.000 Here's her talking about how we need more government. 0.97

00:19:15.000 The severity of this crisis demands that we break out of our previous regulatory frames.

00:19:21.000 Facebook wants to trick you into thinking that privacy protections or changes to Section 230 alone will be sufficient.

00:19:28.000 While important, these will not get to the core of the issue, which is that no one truly understands the destructive choices made by Facebook, except Facebook.

00:19:38.000 A company with such frightening influence over so many people, over their deepest thoughts, feelings, and behavior, needs real oversight.

00:19:46.000 But Facebook's closed design means it has no real oversight.

00:19:52.000 Well, look, that's not necessarily wrong.

00:19:53.000 And by the way, she does look absolutely strikingly like the Predator.

00:19:57.000 There's no doubt.

00:19:58.000 Come on.

00:19:58.000 Yeah, that really is.

00:19:59.000 It's uncanny.

00:20:00.000 Now, look, she's not a... That's unfortunate.

00:20:01.000 She's not a... She's a good-looking gal. 1.00

00:20:03.000 She just looks like the Predator. 0.97

00:20:04.000 No, she's like... That's all in the forehead. 1.00

00:20:05.000 Yeah, like she's a doable Predator. 1.00

00:20:06.000 Yeah, well, yeah.

00:20:07.000 She's a dateable Predator. 1.00

00:20:09.000 Yeah, dateable.

00:20:10.000 That's what I meant.

00:20:10.000 A dateable Predator.

00:20:11.000 We ought to be Christian about it. 0.60

00:20:12.000 Yes.

00:20:14.000 Dave, that's the line, really?

00:20:15.000 She's a good-looking woman. 0.99

00:20:17.000 Aliens. 0.67

00:20:17.000 She just looks like the Predator. 0.67

00:20:20.000 She's a good-looking forest alien. 1.00

00:20:21.000 Yes.

00:20:23.000 So, what exactly makes her a whistleblower?

00:20:26.000 Well, we have that she filed for whistleblower protection status under the SEC.

00:20:30.000 But let's be clear here.

00:20:31.000 There are a few things that you need to know.

00:20:33.000 She absolutely has a bias. 1.00

00:20:34.000 And here's my issue.

00:20:35.000 I've always said when people say, why don't you go after Rachel Maddow more?

00:20:37.000 People like that on MSNBC.

00:20:39.000 Why?

00:20:39.000 Because I don't care if someone is biased and they're open about it.

00:20:41.000 Right.

00:20:42.000 My issue is when Chris Cuomo wants us to believe that he's a journalist.

00:20:45.000 That's what bothers me.

00:20:47.000 And can dunk.

00:20:48.000 Right.

00:20:48.000 And can dunk.

00:20:49.000 His little 8-foot rim.

00:20:50.000 Why would he argue about that?

00:20:52.000 I don't know. 1.00

00:20:52.000 Because he's a compulsive liar who grabs women's asses in front of their husbands. 1.00

00:20:56.000 A piece of human garbage, Chris Cuomo. 1.00

00:20:58.000 And he dodged our fight. 1.00

00:20:59.000 For charity. 0.99

00:21:01.000 He can dunk on a butt. 0.98

00:21:02.000 Yeah, that's exactly what he can do. 1.00

00:21:04.000 And somehow, miraculously, never got his ass kicked by a husband. 1.00

00:21:08.000 Yeah, that is crazy. 0.99

00:21:09.000 If someone grabbed my wife's rear end in front of me, if it happened to be you, Jim, I'd be like, there's nothing I can do.

00:21:16.000 You force it on yourself.

00:21:17.000 What if it wasn't in front of you? 0.86

00:21:18.000 Oh, if it wasn't in front of me, and it was absolutely confirmed by my wife, and it's not if my wife said she made him up, he made her uncomfortable, if she said, he came up, cupped, went around, and squeezed my buttocks, yeah, I would... Still have to... Ding dong! 1.00

00:21:30.000 Hello! 1.00

00:21:31.000 Punch in the face! 1.00

00:21:32.000 Bow! 1.00

00:21:33.000 That'd be a talking to.

00:21:34.000 Yeah.

00:21:35.000 I'd be flattered. 1.00

00:21:37.000 As a matter of fact, she should call me at the party so I can come in, escort him from the party, beat his ass in an alleyway, and then go back in and make sure that everybody knows the reason that your shindig has been disrupted is because Chris Cuomo likes to grab women's asses and then claim it's because he's Italian. 1.00

00:21:54.000 Any other Italians here grab my wife's ass? 1.00

00:21:56.000 I didn't think so. 1.00

00:21:57.000 I'll be eating the shrimp. 1.00

00:22:00.000 I would call my brother and tell him to murder 11 old people. 1.00

00:22:03.000 Yes. 0.99

00:22:04.000 Well, look, it's... These are the... Do you see what you did, Chris?

00:22:08.000 You see?

00:22:09.000 I'm just saying, on top of the many others, that in my own brother, of course, not... No, not the other one.

00:22:15.000 Not the governor who would have never murdered... Former governor.

00:22:19.000 Back to the Predator whistleblower.

00:22:20.000 Former governor.

00:22:21.000 Before Facebook.

00:22:22.000 She was a director of data product at Gigster, where she raised concerns that the AI's objectivity might be not not transparent, that it might be racist.

00:22:32.000 It's the best photo of her.

00:22:33.000 Yes!

00:22:34.000 But you remember how people complained that emojis were racist?

00:22:37.000 Remember how people complained that face recognition software was racist?

00:22:40.000 And we just said, come on now!

00:22:42.000 She was one of those people.

00:22:44.000 So the people who you say are not mainstream far-left social justice warriors who say that everything is racist, this is what she has done her whole life.

00:22:52.000 Again, beware the Trojan horse.

00:22:55.000 Bill Burton, an Obama-era Deputy Press Secretary, he's actually consulting with their legal communications team, just to be clear.

00:23:02.000 So there's a direct tie, this is an overlay deal with the communications team.

00:23:05.000 And here's something else that people are missing.

00:23:08.000 And I've always said this, it's not just what people cover, it's what they choose not to cover.

00:23:12.000 So I said this before, and then I said it again, for example, about the Delta variant.

00:23:16.000 This is entirely conjecture.

00:23:18.000 It is entirely just an opinion.

00:23:21.000 Cannot make a medical claim.

00:23:22.000 I bet you, considering the nature of viruses, how they mutate, we will find out in the future that the Delta variant is significantly more transmissible and likely less lethal.

00:23:31.000 That's probably what we will find out.

00:23:33.000 Why?

00:23:34.000 Because the media is talking about how much more transmissible it is, how much more contagious it is.

00:23:38.000 You don't hear the media saying that it's more deadly.

00:23:40.000 It's what they choose not to cover.

00:23:43.000 That's really important with the Facebook whistleblower.

00:23:45.000 She's saying we need transparency at Facebook.

00:23:47.000 And what does that mean?

00:23:49.000 More government intervention.

00:23:50.000 She was there when the Hunter Biden laptop story got censored.

00:23:54.000 She was there, and her team would have had to have been instrumental in Facebook blocking the Hunter Biden laptop story.

00:24:01.000 That we learned was absolutely truthful.

00:24:02.000 She didn't talk about it.

00:24:03.000 The media's not talking about it.

00:24:05.000 No.

00:24:05.000 The media's talking about, oh, conservative hate speech and teen suicide.

00:24:10.000 Hold on a second.

00:24:10.000 That was a huge story, which likely would have affected the outcome of the votes of the election.

00:24:16.000 At least for some people.

00:24:17.000 I didn't see the outcome of the election.

00:24:18.000 What about affected the actual Some people would have changed their votes.

00:24:21.000 They said that in polls afterwards.

00:24:22.000 Yes, yes, yes, yes.

00:24:23.000 Maybe not turning them over.

00:24:25.000 Some people would have attempted to change their votes.

00:24:26.000 Yes.

00:24:33.000 And the testimony... We'll talk about it on Mug Club.

00:24:36.000 The testimony was entirely about Teenage suicide.

00:24:40.000 It was things to pull on your heartstrings.

00:24:42.000 And look, that is a problem, just to be clear.

00:24:45.000 They were talking about girls committing suicide.

00:24:48.000 Not a problem.

00:24:48.000 Oh, never mind.

00:24:49.000 They were talking about teenage girls committing suicide.

00:24:51.000 And I understand, of course, I have a daughter now.

00:24:54.000 We do not want to see a company disregarding their involvement in an increase in suicide.

00:25:01.000 But why talk about girls?

00:25:02.000 Here's something people don't know.

00:25:03.000 Boys commit suicide at four times the rate of girls, and that very same data reflects that there's an increase in young male suicide.

00:25:12.000 Why does that not matter?

00:25:13.000 By the way, how do you think young males are going to react?

00:25:17.000 When it's just, well, yeah, you commit suicide already at four times the rate, but that's not really pandemic status.

00:25:21.000 And yeah, you know what the exact argument we're making that this is increasing teen suicide with girls?

00:25:26.000 Let's just talk about girls committing suicide and conservative hate speech. 0.85

00:25:29.000 You are going to have young boys... the pendulum's going to swing the other way.

00:25:32.000 They're going to feel isolated.

00:25:33.000 They're going to feel... you know what people have to do when they don't feel heard?

00:25:36.000 They have to scream.

00:25:38.000 They have to become violent.

00:25:40.000 We don't want that.

00:25:41.000 No, absolutely not.

00:25:42.000 And honestly, the reason that they're talking about girls is because, frankly, it pulls on the heartstrings more to say girls are committing suicide because of all the images that they're seeing that they can't live up to.

00:25:51.000 And Twitter, I'm sorry, Instagram and Facebook are just pushing those things.

00:25:55.000 And it is part of the predator feminist agenda. 1.00

00:25:58.000 Well, I read somewhere that isolation is good for people who are suicidal.

00:26:03.000 It was in No Magazine.

00:26:06.000 It was a win.

00:26:07.000 Well, I have suicided my family, so very close to me.

00:26:11.000 No, I apologize.

00:26:12.000 Well, it was mainly your fault.

00:26:13.000 Way to be a downer, Dave.

00:26:15.000 Go back to talking about being groped as an altar boy.

00:26:17.000 All right, listen.

00:26:18.000 He was the one that was passed over.

00:26:21.000 I wasn't groped.

00:26:23.000 He was like the kid at a Christmas pageant who just starts singing louder to beat the other kids. 0.97

00:26:29.000 What the hell?

00:26:31.000 What do I have to do? 0.70

00:26:33.000 I'm wearing my low-cut poncho?

00:26:36.000 I always would spill the wine on myself and be like, I better go change out of these clothes.

00:26:41.000 Oopsies.

00:26:43.000 Did you see my spread in Nat Geo?

00:26:45.000 Yeah.

00:26:46.000 Not a priest one touched him.

00:26:48.000 So CNN, by the way, CNN cut away during this. 0.99

00:26:52.000 They have a giant nipple. 0.97

00:26:53.000 Ted Cruz, too. 0.99

00:26:54.000 This is something they didn't cover in the media.

00:26:56.000 I'm sure they went back to the COVID death ticker.

00:26:59.000 Cut away during Ted Cruz's questioning.

00:27:01.000 So here's something, again, it's what the media doesn't talk about, that you missed.

00:27:04.000 Do you know if Facebook, any of the research it conducted, attempted to quantify how many teenage girls may have taken their lives because of Facebook's products?

00:27:14.000 I'm not aware of that research.

00:27:16.000 Nope!

00:27:16.000 Nope, that's wrong.

00:27:17.000 Facebook has known anti-suicide algorithms and they have reporting on this.

00:27:21.000 In other words, if this was important to her, she would have those numbers.

00:27:25.000 Also, if you don't have those numbers, how do you say there's an X time, an X multiple, or X percent increase in suicides?

00:27:31.000 I don't have those numbers.

00:27:33.000 You know that you're in front of a senator, like, if you're not going to prepare, You know they likely get these questions in advance, right?

00:27:43.000 It's the only reason you're here!

00:27:45.000 What's the linchpin of your argument?

00:27:46.000 You're basically saying that Facebook knows, then you're like, hey, have they done any research on this so that you can prove that they know?

00:27:51.000 I don't know about that.

00:27:54.000 What are you blowing the whistle on?

00:27:56.000 Well, I guess nothing.

00:27:57.000 I don't have the data on that.

00:27:59.000 I assume they know.

00:28:04.000 You mean you don't know, Ted?

00:28:05.000 You had the information.

00:28:07.000 I was told, how are we gonna do this?

00:28:09.000 Is this the Abbott and Costa?

00:28:10.000 Ted, I was hoping you would read the number and I would go, that sounds about right.

00:28:16.000 Or in my native tongue, go... By the way, I can't really see you, you're just sort of a red orb.

00:28:25.000 You might have a fever.

00:28:31.000 They just have her going up to the foreheads. 1.00

00:28:33.000 You're fine.

00:28:34.000 You're fine.

00:28:35.000 Can somebody please put the little cannon on her shoulder? 1.00

00:28:38.000 The lasers start forming on Ted Cruz.

00:28:40.000 Elizabeth Warren shows up.

00:28:43.000 So, this is something, too.

00:28:45.000 They didn't talk about whitelisting.

00:28:46.000 And this is, again, we've had other whistleblowers.

00:28:49.000 This is where Facebook allows popular leftist accounts, right, to just flagrantly disregard the rules, while, of course, they hold other accounts to the closest scrutiny or make up new rules, like with Donald Trump.

00:29:00.000 We've had this on our Facebook page.

00:29:02.000 We have talked about this.

00:29:03.000 The Facebook page was throttled.

00:29:05.000 It's considered misinformation or no, not no, potentially damaging information, I believe.

00:29:10.000 Yeah.

00:29:10.000 Even though the information was not incorrect.

00:29:12.000 It was quoting the CDC.

00:29:13.000 The very same thing, by the way, has happened with YouTube while we're talking about speaking before, you know, a Senate hearing.

00:29:20.000 I think we have a clip of Ted Cruz talking about that.

00:29:22.000 Why wasn't this being discussed from a whistleblower?

00:29:26.000 And I recount that because the YouTube CEO sat in my office and she admitted Steven Crowder didn't violate any YouTube policies whatsoever.

00:29:34.000 He was entirely consistent with their terms of service.

00:29:38.000 But they nonetheless demonetized him anyway.

00:29:41.000 Simply shut off his ability to earn any revenue.

00:29:43.000 And by the way, this is how the man earns his living.

00:29:46.000 Demonetize.

00:29:48.000 I ask everyone here to think how they would feel if some massive corporation demonetized you, just zeroed out your bank account.

00:29:57.000 That is an incredible power.

00:29:59.000 Susan Wojcicki was in his office talking about me?

00:30:01.000 What? 1.00

00:30:02.000 You have to tell me about this shit. 1.00

00:30:03.000 Come on, Ted. 1.00

00:30:04.000 Make a phone call.

00:30:06.000 Sorry.

00:30:07.000 He thought it was Clint Howard.

00:30:09.000 By the way, lest you forget, our entire 2020 election stream was removed from Facebook.

00:30:15.000 Gone.

00:30:15.000 No reason, still to this day.

00:30:16.000 No reason given.

00:30:18.000 Look, here's the thing.

00:30:18.000 There are a lot of conservatives who have a victim complex and a persecution complex.

00:30:21.000 Every time a tweet gets removed, When they say that we haven't broken any rules, but they create a new rule which in the industry is known, colloquialism, as the Crowder rule, that stings.

00:30:37.000 When you say something like Ted Cruz saying that about you, that's just a side thing.

00:30:40.000 Does that blow your mind?

00:30:41.000 Yeah, well it really blew my mind when it was Senator Hirono saying, you are allowing the hate speech of Stephen Crowder.

00:30:47.000 Can someone please throw her out the window? 1.00

00:30:50.000 I think that's still against the law.

00:30:51.000 It's against what's frowned upon.

00:30:53.000 And I mean it, I don't mean it literally.

00:30:56.000 So what is the Crowder rule here, right?

00:30:58.000 That he says something truthful that you just happen not to like?

00:31:00.000 They create another category.

00:31:02.000 They used to have community guideline rules at YouTube and then advertiser-friendly guidelines.

00:31:06.000 And then Crowder guidelines.

00:31:07.000 And then they have borderline guidelines.

00:31:09.000 Ah, okay.

00:31:10.000 And some would argue that the Vox Apocalypse, if you remember that, that happened.

00:31:13.000 Alphabet stock took a nosedive because it affected not only us as creators.

00:31:16.000 Then they came out and they had to say, well, actually no rules are really broken.

00:31:19.000 So they created a new set of rules that are entirely arbitrary and allow them to say, there's nothing inaccurate.

00:31:24.000 There's nothing hateful.

00:31:25.000 We're going to consider it borderline and just harm you anyways.

00:31:27.000 Here's a video of Seth Meyers because no one watches it unless we force you to.

00:31:31.000 That's more offensive than anything you've ever said.

00:31:34.000 By the way, Facebook took down the largest livestream of the election.

00:31:38.000 I think our numbers were just out of this world crazy.

00:31:41.000 It's like, oh, we can just stop that.

00:31:43.000 You made a great point.

00:31:44.000 Even if they put it right back up, you don't get those views back.

00:31:46.000 People don't typically come back in.

00:31:48.000 And they did it on the Oscar livestream when we were obviously doing parody.

00:31:52.000 And it was fair use.

00:31:53.000 They did it, they took it down, we don't get it back.

00:31:56.000 That's the game they play.

00:31:57.000 I thought it was because when you called I was in my basement, and you called us, and I called Gresham Whitmer a bad name.

00:32:03.000 But you guys beeped it.

00:32:05.000 Well, we're good.

00:32:06.000 I have no idea.

00:32:07.000 I'm going to have to go back and review.

00:32:08.000 Thanks, Dave!

00:32:09.000 So if it was my fault, technically it wasn't your fault.

00:32:12.000 I was on a different show.

00:32:14.000 You are filled with nothing but verbal bile and actual bile.

00:32:17.000 By the way, can someone get this bucket?

00:32:18.000 It's starting to smell like Wu-Tang Clan chowder.

00:32:22.000 I'm getting heat off of it.

00:32:23.000 And this is something else they didn't talk about section 230.

00:32:25.000 We've been talking about this on this show.

00:32:27.000 Section 230 is a protection that's afforded to Facebook, YouTube, Twitter.

00:32:30.000 What does it mean?

00:32:31.000 It's very simple.

00:32:32.000 Let me say, if you're talking on Verizon or AT&T, even if you're a Nazi talking about how you hate people of different races, which is horrible, it's abhorrent, but the fact is they don't have the right to remove your cell service or stop your call.

00:32:43.000 That's the same protection afforded to Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, because they're not liable for any comments or any content on this.

00:32:49.000 Not the same for the New York Times, Washington Post, because these are considered publishers. However, Facebook,

00:32:53.000 when you clearly see they remove a sitting president, or Twitter removing a sitting president,

00:32:59.000 and YouTube, by the way, you think that all happens at once by coincidence? Let's just be real.

00:33:03.000 You don't think that you don't think there was a meeting somewhere down the line that they

00:33:06.000 remove him all within 24 hours of each other and you still have the leaders of ISIS and Hamas out 0.99

00:33:11.000 there for crying out loud? If we can't find common ground on the fact that people who who throw gays 1.00

00:33:17.000 off of rooftops are worse than on the President of the United States, who gave an award to

00:33:22.000 to Boy George, then there's no common ground.

00:33:29.000 What award was that?

00:33:30.000 I don't know, he threw him off a roof before he could...

00:33:33.000 Oh, geez.

00:33:34.000 Let's see, it's better than having wigs.

00:33:37.000 Take off Santa, take off Trump. 0.97

00:33:41.000 Here's a golden trophy for vacuum mouth. 0.99

00:33:47.000 I don't know if you guys heard Boy George homosexual. 0.99

00:33:50.000 Homosexual guy. 0.98

00:33:51.000 These are things we can say on YouTube. 0.96

00:33:53.000 They would be incorrect.

00:33:54.000 Yeah, I used to get to him confused with George Michael and then I realized I wasn't getting him confused at all.

00:33:59.000 You could write the biography and it would be very, very similar.

00:34:02.000 You just add a couple of cornrows.

00:34:03.000 Just take the name out, put his name in.

00:34:05.000 Yeah, it would both end with, I got a bit of a cough and I like hiding in bushes.

00:34:10.000 Yeah, and then Fauci's like, let me get a flag ready for you.

00:34:13.000 Oh, he must have had cereal.

00:34:15.000 Yeah, he must have had Cinnamon Toast Crunch in the same... He must have been rooming with Greg Louganis.

00:34:22.000 By the way, this is the same Facebook and Twitter that removed the absolutely true Hunter Biden story that was not Russian disinformation prior to an election.

00:34:31.000 I'm just going to go back to that.

00:34:32.000 I'm going to keep hitting that, because if you're saying that you're a platform and not a publisher, then you leave that story up and you let people go in and debunk it, right?

00:34:39.000 Of course.

00:34:40.000 But that's not what happens.

00:34:41.000 Yeah, but now we're supposed to believe that all these same people, of course, are being 100% transparent and truthful on issues like COVID, on issues like election integrity, right?

00:34:49.000 These are the same people who allowed a disinformation—they used to say a Russian disinformation campaign about Trump.

00:34:54.000 No, the disinformation campaign was that there was Russian collusion with Donald Trump.

00:34:58.000 That was allowed to flourish everywhere.

00:35:02.000 And by the way, was the crux of why we needed to secure our election integrity from Elizabeth Warren, from Bernie Sanders, from Amy Klobuchar.

00:35:09.000 They said these elections are not secure, and it was based upon a lie.

00:35:14.000 The Russian collusion hoax.

00:35:17.000 Remember the term?

00:35:18.000 Russian interference?

00:35:19.000 Interference in what?

00:35:20.000 Our elections!

00:35:22.000 And instead, They allow that story to flourish.

00:35:24.000 Before the election, they get rid of the Hunter Biden laptop story, which, by the way, is not just about Hunter Biden, but about his dad and their ties not only with foreign, but also China, if you actually understand the story.

00:35:34.000 We know it's true.

00:35:35.000 They've acknowledged that it was true.

00:35:36.000 Now, just like our Oscar stream, just like our election stream, you don't get it back.

00:35:41.000 You don't get those votes back.

00:35:42.000 You don't get that truth back when it needed to be out there.

00:35:46.000 And now we're supposed to believe that, of course, they're beyond fault when it comes to discussing the election and COVID now.

00:35:53.000 Absolutely.

00:35:53.000 And they need more power.

00:35:55.000 They need more power to censor more people like this.

00:35:57.000 That's exactly what this whistleblower is calling for.

00:35:59.000 She's calling for more power for these companies to censor points of view. 0.96

00:36:02.000 I don't want to attribute motive, but if you really care about suicide, how about you talk about the young boys who are committing suicide at four times the rate.

00:36:11.000 You have any idea what it's like for a young boy to log on to Instagram today? 0.89

00:36:14.000 You have nothing but ass models that create sexual frustration, and then male models who are yoked out of their mind on Dekadron or whatever it is, and you're like, well, gosh, I don't have a chance because I don't look like this guy, and I want that! 0.98

00:36:25.000 I believe it's Dickatron. 0.99

00:36:27.000 Is it Dickatron? 0.88

00:36:28.000 I wonder how many of them are, like, gay and trans kids, though.

00:36:31.000 A lot of them are trans.

00:36:33.000 I mean, especially when you see the one that, sadly, in Michigan said it was 11.

00:36:37.000 But yeah, there is a lot of people in that community, unfortunately.

00:36:41.000 But a lot of people are struggling to find an identity as well these days.

00:36:44.000 Hey, do you know what else, too?

00:36:46.000 You're not allowed to speak out against transitioning trans children on Facebook and Instagram.

00:36:50.000 Guess how many of the kids, if they are not put on puberty blockers, grow out?

00:36:55.000 of saying that they're trans, which by the way has a 42% attempted suicide rate pre and post transition.

00:36:59.000 98%, close to 100%, right? They grow out of it. Guess how many grow out of it once you put them

00:37:04.000 on puberty blockers? Zero. So if you want to prevent those suicides, how about allowing people to say,

00:37:10.000 you know what, let's not start transitioning children and conducting this experiment because

00:37:14.000 we know it leads to record levels of suicide, but that's not allowed either. The point is,

00:37:18.000 this isn't about the betterment of society.

00:37:21.000 This isn't about trans kids.

00:37:22.000 This isn't about suicide.

00:37:23.000 When you listen to the testimony, we have the links in the description below.

00:37:28.000 I highly recommend that you watch them.

00:37:30.000 All of the discussion is about consolidating more power to the tech oligarchy.

00:37:36.000 So we need to do away with this myth that we have common ground.

00:37:38.000 We do not.

00:37:38.000 The only common ground that we have is Facebook bad.

00:37:43.000 Big tech bad.

00:37:44.000 Everything outside of that is them saying big tech bad because we think they're allowing too much freedom.

00:37:48.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:37:49.000 The foot in the door is worrying about suicide.

00:37:52.000 And the rest of it is hate speech, which is undefined, and violent speech, which again is undefined.

00:37:58.000 I mean, yeah, we're dancing around it, but I think it's very possible, you know, that this is a way of silencing conservatives.

00:38:07.000 And I said this to Gerald at lunch yesterday, that I thought it was sort of a You didn't have to think about it, Tim.

00:38:14.000 You had lunch yesterday?

00:38:16.000 We did.

00:38:16.000 I hadn't eaten yet.

00:38:18.000 Oh.

00:38:19.000 You didn't want to go.

00:38:20.000 You said Mexican food was a bad choice.

00:38:21.000 I hadn't eaten yet.

00:38:22.000 No, he said Mexicans.

00:38:23.000 Oh.

00:38:26.000 You guys came back with rims and... Talk about Luna that way.

00:38:30.000 All right, so moving on here, talking about this, talking about big tech interference.

00:38:34.000 By the way, just so you know, there's been Chinese propaganda that's been allowed to propagate.

00:38:37.000 I don't know if you remember this, when one of the foreign ministers or foreign ambassadors for China accused the United States military of creating and weaponizing COVID.

00:38:45.000 That tweet's still up!

00:38:46.000 So, here's something that you may not know.

00:38:51.000 We were all told, of course, that China found out about COVID-19 in like December 2019. Right at 0.87

00:38:58.000 the end of 2019 were the first discovered cases and early 2020. And you guys, if you don't remember,

00:39:04.000 you can check the links, but everyone kind of remembers that's when it started becoming

00:39:08.000 a pandemic. You know, you couldn't buy toilet paper. And this is again, what during that time,

00:39:13.000 this is a story you were fed because the Chinese officials made these claims and they were not

00:39:17.000 fact checked on Facebook.

00:39:18.000 They were not fact-checked on Twitter.

00:39:19.000 They were not fact-checked on YouTube.

00:39:21.000 And they weren't fact-checked by the American media.

00:39:23.000 They denied being responsible for the outbreak or that they knew about it before this time.

00:39:28.000 But don't take my word for it. 0.93

00:39:29.000 Chinese state media released this cartoon lampooning US accusations as inconsistent and ridiculous. 0.86

00:39:37.000 A Communist Party newspaper calling Secretary of State Mike Pompeo a liar over this accusation.

00:39:43.000 There is a significant amount of evidence that this came from that laboratory in Wuhan.

00:39:48.000 China has taken unprecedented, comprehensive, thorough and strict measures to control the spread of the coronavirus.

00:39:55.000 According to the World Health Organization, China's measures have greatly protected the interests of people all over the world.

00:40:06.000 The people should realize that their enemy is the virus, not China. 0.98

00:40:08.000 Ah, how about both?

00:40:10.000 I can multitask.

00:40:13.000 Strengthen international cooperation to fight the pandemic.

00:40:15.000 How about not lying, China? 0.99

00:40:16.000 I'm doing this for people listening.

00:40:17.000 The accusation is that you've not been honest or open about what was happening in the early stages of the epidemic in Wuhan.

00:40:29.000 No, I couldn't accept that.

00:40:32.000 But first of all, let me say this.

00:40:34.000 Sounds like one of the Muppets in the Star Wars prequels.

00:40:36.000 Our thoughts are with those who lost their loved ones.

00:40:40.000 I have many vape cases.

00:40:41.000 And also those people who are infected with the virus, perhaps including the Prime Minister.

00:40:48.000 The Chinese government has been very open, transparent, and responsible in sharing the information with the world.

00:40:55.000 You can see he's reading it!

00:40:57.000 That feels quite untrue.

00:40:58.000 You can see the reflection of a guy with a gun pointed at him in his glasses.

00:41:01.000 All along, China has acted with openness, transparency, and responsibility.

00:41:05.000 We have provided the information to the WHO and relevant countries in a most timely fashion.

00:41:10.000 Alright, okay.

00:41:11.000 By the way, that's not so much a comb-over as it is a shoe polish lacquer.

00:41:14.000 It's more of a veneer finish.

00:41:16.000 But we're supposed to, I'm sorry, we need to respect the Supreme Leader.

00:41:18.000 Here's the thing.

00:41:19.000 This is a terrifying news show.

00:41:21.000 It's just the government.

00:41:22.000 There is evidence from an Australian cyber security firm.

00:41:27.000 that Chinese authority were well aware of the virus eight months prior. So May 2019, how do we know?

00:41:35.000 In May they spent 10.5 million dollars on PCR in Wuhan by People's Liberation Army Airborne

00:41:42.000 Hospital. They increased their purchasing of PCR tests by a multiple in May.

00:41:49.000 So, here's something that I want to go through here, because I spoke about this with my wife and my family, and I want to do an intellectual exercise.

00:41:55.000 I want to avoid the appeal to probability fallacy.

00:41:58.000 So, what does this tell us?

00:42:01.000 For example, now that we know that they purchased all these PCR tests, it's not a trick question, what do we now know, Dave?

00:42:08.000 That they, well, that they knew.

00:42:11.000 Exactly.

00:42:11.000 Good.

00:42:12.000 So, exactly.

00:42:13.000 We know that there was a virus there, at the very least.

00:42:16.000 Well, even before December we knew there was a virus there because there were videos of people falling over and stuff like that, you know.

00:42:24.000 I cannot confirm nor deny!

00:42:26.000 By the way, I have good iron for you! 0.95

00:42:27.000 Yeah, unless a lot of people just started, you know, getting silly.

00:42:30.000 By the way, he doubles as the Chinese Paul Bearer, the Chinese Undertaker's about to come out.

00:42:35.000 He's not 6'8", he's more like 5'10", but over there it works.

00:42:37.000 It works.

00:42:38.000 Very sexy.

00:42:39.000 When you hear his intro music, dong!

00:42:41.000 I take you under! 0.61

00:42:43.000 Well, all those videos, too, of people being willingly taken from their homes to quarantine centers.

00:42:46.000 I know they were griping on the door and screaming for their life, but it was willingly going.

00:42:49.000 They were being welded into their apartments.

00:42:52.000 So, everyone out there, and I want you to comment below right now so we can watch this in a timeline.

00:42:57.000 And then you'll comment after, because I'm going to ask you a series of questions.

00:42:59.000 What does this tell us?

00:43:00.000 It doesn't tell us that they knew about COVID and lied at this point.

00:43:03.000 Let's avoid making that logical leap.

00:43:06.000 This tells us that there was a virus in China in May 2019 that was enough of an epidemic there that they required massive amounts of PCR tests.

00:43:21.000 And I need to do this because we need to avoid misinformation on YouTube.

00:43:24.000 Correct.

00:43:24.000 But it's a good exercise to take in your daily life.

00:43:26.000 OK.

00:43:27.000 What else do we know?

00:43:28.000 Now you have to combine the information we know in tandem.

00:43:30.000 We know there was a virus in China that could only be detected through PCR tests.

00:43:34.000 OK.

00:43:34.000 And it required massive amounts of PCR tests.

00:43:37.000 All right.

00:43:38.000 We know that COVID came from China.

00:43:40.000 I don't want to say that we know it came from a lab or something.

00:43:42.000 We know that COVID came from China.

00:43:44.000 No one's even arguing against the fact that COVID came from China.

00:43:46.000 OK.

00:43:47.000 So we know that COVID came from China.

00:43:49.000 We know that China told us we only knew about this in December 2019 or early 2020.

00:43:55.000 We know that they knew before that and deliberately obfuscated and misled, if not lied about it.

00:44:02.000 Begs the question, why would they do that if it's just a natural virus that came from a bat?

00:44:08.000 Yeah.

00:44:08.000 You can look at natural viruses in the past that weren't created in the lab.

00:44:11.000 We were warned.

00:44:12.000 Everyone kind of did work together.

00:44:13.000 Oh my gosh, we've got to get rid of this.

00:44:14.000 What's this?

00:44:15.000 The first stars in the Toronto Airport?

00:44:16.000 Weld them in there. 0.99

00:44:17.000 Who gives a crap? 0.99

00:44:18.000 No one really cares about the Toronto Airport. 0.99

00:44:19.000 It's not an international hub!

00:44:22.000 No!

00:44:23.000 Why?

00:44:24.000 Why the lies?

00:44:25.000 Why the misinformation?

00:44:27.000 That's where you combine what you have.

00:44:28.000 Yeah.

00:44:29.000 We didn't bomb Africa for AIDS, right?

00:44:31.000 It was like, ah, it came from a monkey and a guy, whatever the story was at the time, right?

00:44:34.000 It came from a bat.

00:44:36.000 We're not going to go bomb you because a bat bit somebody and gave them a virus. 0.99

00:44:39.000 Like, we're all in this together at that point.

00:44:41.000 But when you constantly go back and say, oh, we've been cooperating with the WHO, and we're like, every answer they gave was the WHO, the WHO, the WHO, transparency.

00:44:49.000 You mean the WHO that we have proven is in bed with you and kind of bows to your wishes and won't even let you recognize Taiwan, which we'll get to later?

00:44:56.000 In the scariest video I have seen yet of somebody just pulling the plug on an interview. 1.00

00:44:59.000 It's more of a curtsy than a bow, stupid American. 1.00

00:45:03.000 Well, that's true. 1.00

00:45:05.000 So dumb. 0.99

00:45:05.000 I thought they bowed. 0.99

00:45:06.000 I thought it was about them.

00:45:07.000 We don't fold at the waist.

00:45:09.000 Use your hips. 0.99

00:45:10.000 Oh, jeez.

00:45:11.000 Uh, we don't even show, uh, uh, Clippy because people know.

00:45:15.000 People know.

00:45:15.000 The only people who claim that it didn't start in China were, uh, some Chinese officials who said the United States military.

00:45:20.000 It's already been proven, right?

00:45:22.000 Of course.

00:45:23.000 Of course it's been proven.

00:45:24.000 Did I did it?

00:45:25.000 Okay.

00:45:25.000 No, no, no, no, no.

00:45:26.000 This is a definition of gaslighting, right?

00:45:28.000 You're not crazy.

00:45:28.000 They want you to say that you're crazy if you believe that it came from a lab.

00:45:31.000 This doesn't tell us for sure that it came from a lab.

00:45:33.000 It tells us that they knew about it.

00:45:34.000 It tells us that they lied about it.

00:45:34.000 It tells us that it came from China.

00:45:35.000 It doesn't make sense for them to try and cover up something if it's a natural virus from a bat.

00:45:40.000 A couple of good points that you just made.

00:45:42.000 If that were the case, we're all in this together. 1.00

00:45:44.000 So can you take down your stupid fruity bumper stickers that live next to your coexist bullshit? 1.00

00:45:49.000 We're not in this together if you don't want to hold the creators of the virus accountable. 1.00

00:45:54.000 Okay?

00:45:54.000 We're not all in this together.

00:45:56.000 If you guys are not saying, hey, hold on a second.

00:45:59.000 The WHO, who by the way determines, this all ties together, what is allowed on Facebook, what is allowed on YouTube, what is allowed on Twitter, and refuses to even acknowledge Taiwan's existence, if you don't have a problem with that, we are not all in this together.

00:46:15.000 Period.

00:46:15.000 Lines are drawn.

00:46:16.000 I'm fine.

00:46:18.000 I'm fine.

00:46:18.000 I'm fine being with the guys who say, ah, you know what, I'm not with the people who want to see Taiwan wiped off the face of the map.

00:46:24.000 We're not all in this together.

00:46:25.000 Also, I think I should be able to go to Lowe's.

00:46:30.000 Why Lowe's?

00:46:32.000 Sorry.

00:46:32.000 It's a nice place.

00:46:33.000 I like Lowe's.

00:46:34.000 This gets me worked up.

00:46:35.000 Well, it should get you worked up because doctors were not allowed to present evidence that could have helped the rest of the world simply because they were in Taiwan and the WHO didn't want to hear it because China would get pissed.

00:46:45.000 And I think that's what bothers me with all of this.

00:46:48.000 Look, this veiled sort of accusation of racism, okay, if you speak about China, it actually hides something that is probably the most egregious example of bullying that I can think of.

00:46:59.000 And just because to many Americans you can't tell the difference between China and Taiwan and they look similar does not mean that there isn't oppression against a certain group of people.

00:47:06.000 This is bullying, this is intimidation, and the entire elite, the big tech oligarchy and their media patsies are complicit with this.

00:47:16.000 So, this has me move on to Taiwan because it ties it directly into COVID.

00:47:22.000 Look, like I said, I'm a non-interventionist.

00:47:24.000 Let me set this up here.

00:47:25.000 I'm a non-interventionist, okay?

00:47:27.000 I don't really believe that the United States should be going and fighting wars abroad if it doesn't affect us or if we want to be an empire, take their stuff.

00:47:37.000 We're the only empire in the world that didn't just conquer people and take their stuff.

00:47:42.000 We asked for land to bury our dead.

00:47:45.000 Right?

00:47:45.000 Generally speaking.

00:47:46.000 Look at the base that we have in Japan.

00:47:48.000 We'll talk about that later.

00:47:49.000 We have more troops, I believe, stationed there than any other American military base, if I'm not mistaken.

00:47:54.000 It's certainly in the top three.

00:47:55.000 I don't want to misspeak or be banned for misinformation.

00:47:57.000 It's almost like it's ancillary to the point.

00:47:58.000 The point is there are a lot of troops there.

00:47:59.000 But why haven't we taken over Japan? 0.98

00:48:01.000 Do you have any idea how easy it would be after the nukes?

00:48:04.000 And we'll get to that.

00:48:05.000 Instead, we signed a treaty saying, no more nukes, we'll protect you.

00:48:08.000 That's important, because we do not have the option, the United States, as we're talking about China, Taiwan, and there's been a fuse lit because of COVID, and because of people not standing up for Taiwan at this point, China's rhetoric has been getting more and more heated, and Taiwan is very concerned.

00:48:21.000 The United States will have to do something!

00:48:24.000 The decision just becomes, do we do it once there's an attack on Taiwan, or do we wait until it moves to Japan?

00:48:29.000 Because China is not going to stop at Taiwan.

00:48:31.000 It's a test case.

00:48:34.000 I think actually right here, let me set this up for you.

00:48:37.000 The foreign minister, Joseph Wu, look at the tear on his face here when he's warning the world about Chinese aggression and is, and this isn't covered on the media, I mean, look at his actual face.

00:48:49.000 He's pleading, pleading for help.

00:48:52.000 China is being threatened in Taiwan and the threat seems to be more serious than before.

00:48:57.000 In, you know, real life world, there's not a black and white situation, but we are very concerned.

00:49:04.000 That China is going to launch a war against Taiwan at some point, even though the threat may not be imminent at this point.

00:49:13.000 But there might be some conditions that China may use force against Taiwan.

00:49:18.000 They might launch a crisis externally in order to divert domestic attention.

00:49:24.000 So in the recent power ration or power outages in China, that is something that we have been observing very carefully because we are concerned if the domestic discontent or economic slowdown is getting very serious, Taiwan might become a target of this authoritarianism.

00:49:42.000 When there's a crisis, if the Australian government can go along with other major partners of ours and tell China that the invasion, the war is not right, Please help.

00:49:54.000 They all have the same haircut.

00:49:55.000 it. Geez. Please help. Yeah. That would be a great haircut.

00:50:00.000 You'll be great host for Taiwan Bar Rescue. It's true. You're spending too much on bottles. Get yourself draft system.

00:50:08.000 You call this a bar? So, uh, to be clear, when those bars make

00:50:18.000 us, I don't think they do. This comes in and cracks on them. So

00:50:21.000 between October 1st and 4th, China, they flew a record 150 aircraft in Taiwan's air defense zone.

00:50:27.000 I'm not going to get nerdy into exactly which aircraft have been flown in.

00:50:30.000 Look, there have always been tensions between Taiwan and China, and a lot of Americans don't really understand it.

00:50:34.000 Let me make it really clear.

00:50:36.000 It's hard to understand because one is the People's Republic of China and one is the, uh, the... What is it?

00:50:41.000 One is... I want to make sure I get the term right.

00:50:42.000 They're almost the same.

00:50:44.000 One is... Can someone give me... One is the Republic of China.

00:50:47.000 One is the People's Republic of China.

00:50:50.000 Something like that.

00:50:51.000 One of them is the Communist Party, the People's Republic of China, the CCP, and one of them believes in more of a sort of right-leaning nationalist state as it relates to Taiwan.

00:51:01.000 At the very least, Taiwan considers themselves, and they had a war, where they see themselves as a self-governed state entity.

00:51:10.000 But it's tough to say it's a separate country from China because they actually view themselves as the real China before mainland China was taken over by the Communist Party.

00:51:18.000 But John Cena said it's not there.

00:51:23.000 John Cena said that it was a figment of your imagination.

00:51:26.000 That was right.

00:51:26.000 It's the Republic of China versus the People's Republic of China.

00:51:29.000 Well, the People's Front of Judea, the principle is the same!

00:51:32.000 It's hard for Americans to keep track.

00:51:33.000 Taiwan?

00:51:34.000 Not communist.

00:51:35.000 China? 0.73

00:51:35.000 Communist. 0.73

00:51:35.000 China says, you belong to us. 0.73

00:51:37.000 Taiwan says, no.

00:51:38.000 That's where they've had tensions for a very, very long time, and China is willing to attack them.

00:51:43.000 Then there was in 1996, the third Taiwan Strait crisis.

00:51:46.000 Do you guys know about this?

00:51:47.000 This is important because China launched a bunch of missiles basically warning that the Taiwanese not to vote.

00:51:51.000 They held the first democratically held elections.

00:51:55.000 Doesn't really happen in China, okay?

00:51:56.000 Happens in Taiwan.

00:51:57.000 This is important.

00:51:58.000 So China launched a bunch of missiles just to say, you guys can't have a democratic election.

00:52:04.000 And at that point, Bill Clinton actually sent two carrier battle groups to waters surrounding Taiwan to actually protect them.

00:52:11.000 Now, that, look, Clinton, not the biggest fan.

00:52:14.000 Not bad.

00:52:15.000 That was good.

00:52:16.000 Man likes his cigars and hamburgers, but I wouldn't, you know, that's not what I dislike about him.

00:52:21.000 That being said, at that point it was very clear.

00:52:23.000 The United States said, ho, Taiwan is having a democratically held election.

00:52:28.000 You guys can't start launching missiles.

00:52:30.000 And Bill Clinton went in to protect them.

00:52:31.000 That was a show of Rising China is an incredibly positive development for not only China, but the United States and the rest of the world.

00:52:38.000 Rising China is a positive, positive development.

00:52:40.000 public rhetoric on China while they've been making more threats to Taiwan as these comments

00:52:45.000 are made.

00:52:46.000 Rising China is an incredibly positive development for not only China, but the United States

00:52:53.000 and the rest of the world.

00:52:54.000 Rising China is a positive, positive development.

00:52:58.000 It is in our self-interest that China continue to prosper.

00:53:03.000 We want to see China rise.

00:53:05.000 China's a great nation. 0.99

00:53:06.000 China's a crappy nation. 1.00

00:53:07.000 And we should hope for the continued expansion. 1.00

00:53:09.000 And we should hope for the collapse of the government.

00:53:10.000 China is not our enemy.

00:53:11.000 We talk about China.

00:53:12.000 They are our enemies, the government.

00:53:17.000 Uh, first off... Helping them what?

00:53:19.000 Yeah, helping them... Please explain, Joe.

00:53:21.000 Finish the sentence. 1.00

00:53:23.000 He has to get his ass wiped. 1.00

00:53:24.000 He doesn't know how to finish a sentence. 1.00

00:53:27.000 That's true.

00:53:28.000 You know how crazy he'll get?

00:53:29.000 He'll be like, dog spiders.

00:53:31.000 What?

00:53:32.000 Ha! 0.98

00:53:32.000 What the hell's the matter with you guys? 0.98

00:53:34.000 I like dog spiders. 0.98

00:53:35.000 I'm a dog spider man. 0.84

00:53:36.000 My wife's been butt. 1.00

00:53:38.000 My wife's been what? 0.96

00:53:41.000 Do you feel the cottony softness? 0.80

00:53:43.000 I panced my poop.

00:53:45.000 You know the thing.

00:53:46.000 Listen.

00:53:47.000 Listen.

00:53:48.000 You shake Saddam's hand, you're squeezing the shaman. 0.97

00:53:54.000 Get the Narcan.

00:53:55.000 Hunter's coming for dinner.

00:53:59.000 Hide the child pornography.

00:54:03.000 Hunter's coming for dinner. 0.88

00:54:05.000 Rudy has your stuff.

00:54:08.000 The only way Xi Jinping can eclipse- Giuliani, not his Rudy.

00:54:12.000 Yeah, not his Rudy. 1.00

00:54:13.000 Not his stupid Rudy. 1.00

00:54:15.000 The only way- this is important to note is, hey, what's China's goal here? 1.00

00:54:18.000 Because Biden is saying this.

00:54:19.000 It's not- just like when Barack Obama used to say women get paid 77 cents on the dollar and I would get irritated because I'm like, what, does he not have access to Google?

00:54:26.000 Here's the issue here.

00:54:27.000 Does Biden not know what China has been saying this whole time?

00:54:31.000 It's not just about Taiwan.

00:54:33.000 It goes bigger than that.

00:54:34.000 The only way for their current guy- the only way for- Okay, Xi Jinping versus Mao. 1.00

00:54:39.000 The only way that the current asshole can replace the former asshole is if he achieves the Chinese dream. 1.00

00:54:44.000 This is the actual term and it involves taking back Taiwan. 1.00

00:54:48.000 Here is the current asshole saying it himself. 0.97

00:54:51.000 Compatriots on the mainland and Taiwan should join hands to realize the Chinese dream and take responsibility together for national rejuvenation and share the glory of national rejuvenation. 0.99

00:55:04.000 Yeah, Taiwan really wants to share in the glory of how people live in China. 0.97

00:55:08.000 They're frustrated to high heavens that they're not knee-deep in shit eating scorpions at the street fair. 0.94

00:55:17.000 We're willing to negotiate sincerely and expend all our efforts in striving for the prospect of peaceful reunification. 0.98

00:55:26.000 We do not promise to renounce the use of force and reserve the right to use all necessary measures.

00:55:34.000 This is why Fauci is a jayakam. 1.00

00:55:37.000 Remember yesterday he was like, we're going to implement measures that'll lock people down and they won't be allowed to do commerce so that hopefully more of them will willingly get the vaccine.

00:55:46.000 See my white flag?

00:55:47.000 We want to do this peacefully at the end of a missile.

00:55:53.000 That's basically what they said.

00:55:54.000 And look, you can't blame Taiwan for being worried about this because that whole China dream, they want that to be accomplished by 2049, right?

00:56:01.000 So the clock is ticking on all of this right now.

00:56:03.000 They also see that they have a window of opportunity with a very, very weak president with weak foreign policy.

00:56:09.000 You did it with Russia, they didn't do anything under the Biden administration with Obama.

00:56:12.000 When they attacked the Crimea, they also attacked Georgia.

00:56:14.000 They still have 20% of their troops there, right now, in Georgia, still occupying, nothing being said.

00:56:18.000 And then you pull out of Afghanistan, and the rest of the world sees you as a pansy.

00:56:23.000 Yes.

00:56:23.000 Right?

00:56:23.000 You don't think that these guys are thinking about that?

00:56:25.000 And by the way, if you think Taiwan thinks that China's gonna play nice, Hong Kong was in the same situation as Taiwan, where they were allowed to be separate and ruled.

00:56:33.000 What happened when freedom started to ring?

00:56:35.000 Yeah, not only do the Hong Kong protesters wave American flags and sing the national anthem and beg America for help, but John Cena and LeBron James said that we shouldn't be talking politics.

00:56:49.000 Really, Black Lives Matter? 0.99

00:56:50.000 Really, when we're talking about vaccines, but people who are being clubbed to death in the streets for wanting a taste of freedom, nothing to say?

00:56:57.000 Oh, that's right, I forgot, Space Jam is going to be released internationally.

00:57:01.000 And thank goodness.

00:57:03.000 That's really actually, it's effectively a biochemical weapon.

00:57:07.000 That would be the only redeeming quality.

00:57:10.000 There's no Proterine! 1.00

00:57:13.000 Just a piece of crap. 1.00

00:57:17.000 It didn't need to be remade. 1.00

00:57:18.000 No.

00:57:18.000 No, it wasn't even that old.

00:57:20.000 I hate the fact that we're so uncreative.

00:57:22.000 We just keep making the same movies.

00:57:24.000 It's like, what do we do?

00:57:25.000 It's not even from the 30s.

00:57:26.000 You're making stuff from when I was a teenager.

00:57:29.000 Just, it's nuts.

00:57:31.000 I've seen this before!

00:57:33.000 A lot!

00:57:35.000 And Dumb and Dumber 2, shame on you.

00:57:38.000 Which one? 0.98

00:57:39.000 Dumberer.

00:57:39.000 Dumberer or Dumb and Dumber 2?

00:57:40.000 Let's go with both of them.

00:57:42.000 Yeah, let's go with both of them.

00:57:44.000 Although Dumb and Dumberer may have been better.

00:57:46.000 Yeah, I agree.

00:57:47.000 I won't lie.

00:57:47.000 If you accept it as a different movie, sort of like Legend of Zelda 2.

00:57:51.000 It's a different game in the franchise.

00:57:52.000 It's not really the same as the rest of them.

00:57:53.000 Or Super Mario Bros.

00:57:54.000 2, which in Japan, which we'll talk about in a little bit, was actually known as Doki Doki Panic. 0.99

00:57:57.000 But Super Mario 2, The Lost Levels, were actually seen as too difficult for American video gamers because Japanese people think that you're fat, lazy, dumb American. 0.98

00:58:05.000 I mean, that's what they think. 0.97

00:58:07.000 Halloween 3, Season of the Witch.

00:58:08.000 Yeah, but you know what? 0.90

00:58:09.000 If that were its own film, it would still suck. 0.88

00:58:12.000 No, I disagree. 0.92

00:58:13.000 Good movie.

00:58:14.000 What was the song?

00:58:15.000 For the mask?

00:58:18.000 Halloween 3, Season of the Witch.

00:58:21.000 That's not it at all.

00:58:22.000 You're just saying the title.

00:58:24.000 To the same rhythm that he had.

00:58:26.000 That I had, which was wrong.

00:58:28.000 None of that's correct.

00:58:28.000 I think I was right.

00:58:30.000 You guys look it up.

00:58:30.000 Halloween 3, season of the witch.

00:58:33.000 Oh, a little rocking.

00:58:35.000 Did I add it?

00:58:36.000 Season of the witch.

00:58:37.000 The witch is seasoned. 0.95

00:58:39.000 He's just taking lyrics and putting them to Journey.

00:58:41.000 It's just Halloween 3.

00:58:43.000 That's where I wanna be.

00:58:45.000 I wanna be watching Halloween 3.

00:58:48.000 Born and raised in Halloween 3.

00:58:51.000 Don't stop.

00:58:52.000 Halloween 3!

00:58:56.000 I was born in Halloween 3!

00:58:59.000 I was once, twice, three times a Halloween.

00:59:08.000 Oh, oh, oh, Zantac!

00:59:11.000 Oh, it's heart medicine.

00:59:14.000 Okay, so here's the thing.

00:59:16.000 Should China and Taiwan go to war, and what I mean by that is should China decide that they're going to do what they've said they're going to do for a very long time, it is pivotal for Taiwan's existence that they enlist the help of the United States Navy.

00:59:28.000 Now, what's really kind of sad is they've been reaching out to Australia for help.

00:59:31.000 Why?

00:59:31.000 Well, they saw what happened with Hong Kong.

00:59:32.000 I don't think they believe that the United States is going to help them that much right now, which is really sad as it relates to our country.

00:59:40.000 Here's the thing, something people don't understand.

00:59:42.000 It's concerning that this is going on in October.

00:59:44.000 Why?

00:59:44.000 If China strikes Taiwan, they can only do it two months out of the year.

00:59:47.000 October or April.

00:59:49.000 People don't know that!

00:59:50.000 Yeah.

00:59:50.000 And let me explain to you why.

00:59:52.000 This is actually from Ian Easton, Pacific Defense Security Expert and author of The Chinese Invasion Threat.

00:59:58.000 He says that April, there's heavy fog, but good suitability.

01:00:00.000 October, there are still high winds and waves later in the month, but all other months you have typhoons, gales, high winds, waves, and basically no suitability here.

01:00:09.000 I don't know if I can point here on this map so you can see.

01:00:10.000 They got to go across that, which really doesn't look like that much, but it's kind of like when you think you can swim to the other side of the lake after you've had a few course lights.

01:00:18.000 Yeah, but you can't.

01:00:18.000 And then you find yourself like Davy Jones' lock.

01:00:21.000 Well, look at this.

01:00:22.000 It's a bottleneck, right?

01:00:23.000 So it's actually pushing all of that through that tiny strait.

01:00:26.000 So that's why it becomes so hard to pass.

01:00:28.000 And here's something people don't know.

01:00:29.000 A lot of you think, like, oh, we're talking about, you hear numbers from World War II and millions of people dying.

01:00:33.000 Look, wars, when it comes to something like Taiwan that's just separated by a strait, when you're talking about that effectively, these are won by something very specific.

01:00:41.000 You're really talking about carriers.

01:00:44.000 You're talking about aircraft.

01:00:44.000 You have to have them.

01:00:45.000 And you can count on your hands and toes how many exist in the world.

01:00:50.000 Now, why does that matter?

01:00:51.000 Because you need to be able to get your aircraft to and from the location, right, in a way where you don't run out of fuel that's safe.

01:00:57.000 So you need to have an aircraft carrier.

01:00:58.000 These things cost like $22 billion, and again, you need to get that across really torrent waters.

01:01:03.000 The United States has 10.

01:01:05.000 Nimitz-class supercarriers and nine Wasp and American-class carriers.

01:01:09.000 China only has two.

01:01:11.000 They have one in development.

01:01:12.000 Australia has two.

01:01:13.000 Taiwan has zero.

01:01:16.000 So, it seems like they're pretty outmatched.

01:01:19.000 It seems like you have 23 or 24 fingers and toes, though.

01:01:22.000 Dude, this is another problem.

01:01:23.000 Well, look, my dad slash uncle, Steve is a flipper baby, and we just didn't even know it.

01:01:33.000 Also, I'm an outie, and when I say it, it drags at my feet.

01:01:37.000 His sister mom is all about it.

01:01:42.000 Did they say that it was a wasp carrier?

01:01:44.000 It's a kind, so what it is is the Nimitz-class supercarriers are nuclear.

01:01:48.000 They're self-sustaining.

01:01:49.000 They can go on basically forever, except they're going to run out of food.

01:01:53.000 But at that point, you're going to have some Chinese military bodies.

01:01:58.000 You just eat those.

01:01:58.000 Yeah, but then you get hungry again 30 minutes later.

01:02:01.000 wealthy. Very true. It's very tasty though. Very tasty.

01:02:08.000 Those were his last words. No! I want to be feuding!

01:02:12.000 I'm all boned!

01:02:14.000 I'm not one time!

01:02:16.000 No muscle!

01:02:17.000 It's like he didn't even eat.

01:02:19.000 If it were a Bond line, he would just be like the guy killing him before he's like, I'm a grazer.

01:02:27.000 May I suggest intermittent fasting? 0.99

01:02:29.000 So, why have they not been reaching- Shoot it.

01:02:34.000 This is very different, right?

01:02:35.000 The posture from China under Donald Trump to Biden.

01:02:38.000 I mean, it's like a switch was flipped.

01:02:40.000 Just like North Korea and the rockets like it's 4th of July. 0.97

01:02:43.000 Right, yeah. 0.98

01:02:43.000 Well, because one's crazy and one may have dementia. 0.98

01:02:47.000 Right. 0.95

01:02:47.000 What do you want? 0.95

01:02:48.000 You want a leader that comes off as they're a little nuts. 0.94

01:02:51.000 Right! 0.74

01:02:51.000 You do! 0.74

01:02:52.000 Even to the Chinese! 0.96

01:02:53.000 Yes!

01:02:54.000 Have you been to Chinatown?

01:02:55.000 I don't.

01:02:56.000 Well, just the town, yeah.

01:02:57.000 It's like a fever dream!

01:02:58.000 It certainly is.

01:03:01.000 So, Victor Gayle, he's the VP of the Center for China, professor of Sutao University.

01:03:07.000 He had this to say about the U.S.

01:03:09.000 defending Taiwan against China.

01:03:10.000 So do they think that maybe we're in a weaker position now?

01:03:12.000 Well, I'll take my word for it.

01:03:13.000 Well, the United States does have an agreement with Taiwan to support it in the event of an attack, to potentially arm or even potentially join in the defense of Taiwan.

01:03:24.000 The United States has never offered to defend Taiwan.

01:03:29.000 The United States just wants to be the biggest arms dealer with Taiwan, selling the most sophisticated weapons. 0.92

01:03:35.000 And in doing that, they are in violation of the three committee case.

01:03:40.000 No government ever since 1971.

01:03:43.000 No, and I can bet with you, the Americans will not allow their sons and daughters to die for China's reunification.

01:03:51.000 No, and I can bet with you the Americans will not allow their sons and daughters 1.00

01:03:57.000 to die for China's reunification. That will be in itself a futile attempt.

01:04:04.000 Didn't you hear by the way at the one point where like he's the only person

01:04:08.000 who you know you would use the the colloquialism swallowed a frog but he 0.99

01:04:12.000 actually just swallowed a gay frog. 0.99

01:04:15.000 A gay frog. 1.00

01:04:16.000 I told you! 1.00

01:04:17.000 Omega the Frog's gay! 1.00

01:04:19.000 It's sashaying down his throat! 1.00

01:04:20.000 It is destroying his trachea! 1.00

01:04:22.000 You must swallow it to kill it. 1.00

01:04:25.000 Yes! 1.00

01:04:27.000 It was the French priest.

01:04:28.000 So look, and he's right.

01:04:29.000 Americans shouldn't die.

01:04:31.000 That's true.

01:04:31.000 Americans shouldn't die, of course, because China has some just some some intercontinental, I don't know, feud.

01:04:38.000 Here's the thing.

01:04:40.000 It doesn't stop with Taiwan.

01:04:42.000 Let's be really clear about this.

01:04:43.000 This is why we're on the verge of World War III if something like this happens.

01:04:46.000 Taiwan can only be defended by a sort of a unified European Union, very unlikely, and probably Japan, maybe Australia, or the United States.

01:04:56.000 They would need a coalition of everyone who haven't been able to even agree to pay their share of NATO, by the way, or the United States, otherwise they cease to exist.

01:05:07.000 If Taiwan ceases to exist, Japan's next, likely Australia. 0.95

01:05:11.000 These are sitting ducks and that comes to your doorstep.

01:05:15.000 This does become a global affair when you understand that China's goal is to run the world like a Bond villain. 0.95

01:05:24.000 Here's something else.

01:05:25.000 They don't believe, though, Taiwan that the United States is going to support them.

01:05:28.000 How do you know?

01:05:29.000 They reach to Australia.

01:05:30.000 They look to Japan, right? 0.93

01:05:32.000 They've been increasingly vocal, by the way, for the first time.

01:05:35.000 For the first time in the last six years.

01:05:37.000 They never used to even mention Taiwan because it was kind of a sore spot with China.

01:05:40.000 So when it comes to the economics of it, it's not in their best interest, and now they have been saying and speaking out very vocally, saying, we need to be ready to support Taiwan in some kind of a military affair.

01:05:50.000 Japan just bought a record 5.4 trillion yen, so 49 billion dollars, in a defense budget.

01:05:57.000 And here's the thing, they better get their asses in gear because the Muppets over there in China have been saying that they will nuke Japan if they intervene at all. 0.93

01:06:05.000 Here you go. 0.99

01:06:06.000 We will use nuclear bombs first. 0.99

01:06:07.000 Now keep in mind that film was made, granted on like a version of 98 movies maker by the

01:06:37.000 Chinese Communist Party, and they took it off the Chinese video platform Ziguo after

01:06:42.000 it got 2 million views.

01:06:43.000 It's still available!

01:06:45.000 It's still available on YouTube and Twitter!

01:06:49.000 How is that not a call to violence?

01:06:51.000 Yeah, and by the way, I don't know if people know this, but Taiwan was technically a part of Japan for about 50 years,

01:06:56.000 right?

01:06:56.000 It wasn't until after World War II that that kind of...

01:06:58.000 Well, they can get all that stuff in Manchuria...

01:07:00.000 No, no, no, no, but I mean, like, these people hate each other.

01:07:02.000 So when you say that Japan is the next step, Japan is the real enemy for China. 0.96

01:07:06.000 Like, they are, they're the people that they really want to get even with.

01:07:09.000 Taiwan's a test case.

01:07:10.000 If you look at how the islands are positioned, they go, okay, Taiwan, boom, boom, boom, hopscotch, Japan, and Japan knows it.

01:07:14.000 That's why the former Japanese Deputy Prime Minister, Taro Aso, he said, If a major incident happened over Taiwan, it is safe to say it would be related to a situation threatening survival of Japan.

01:07:26.000 And that is the case.

01:07:28.000 If it is the case, I put a frog in my throat.

01:07:31.000 Japan and the US.

01:07:33.000 When I eat a frog, he's smiling at me. 0.99

01:07:37.000 Happy gay frogs. 0.99

01:07:38.000 Can you do a Japan Alex Jones? 0.99

01:07:39.000 The U.S.

01:07:40.000 and Japan must defend Taiwan together.

01:07:43.000 Just means happy frogs.

01:07:45.000 No, they have to.

01:07:46.000 And we have an agreement to do that with Taiwan.

01:07:49.000 But if they attack Japan, it's like, come on guys, you know how many troops we have there?

01:07:52.000 What, are you going to just surgically strike places that don't involve our troops?

01:07:56.000 Well, before we even get to Japan, here's the thing.

01:07:57.000 If China takes Taiwan, guess what?

01:07:59.000 They are now in charge of everything, technologically.

01:08:02.000 So China's sort of their manufacturing is, I would say low-grade, like the truth is their manufacturing is better than stuff manufactured in the United States. 0.95

01:08:08.000 But I'm saying it's more like textiles, simple electronics, right?

01:08:12.000 They have some computer chips, but all the semiconductors and a lot of the sort of high-end intellectual property, really like Samsung, a lot of this stuff is done in Taiwan.

01:08:21.000 So if China takes over Taiwan before they even get to Japan, right, this puts them in a tremendous position for war because they would effectively run all of the world's IP, all of the world's computer chips, semiconductors, right now, right now because of COVID.

01:08:36.000 I don't think people realize the supply chain disruption.

01:08:38.000 You have brand new trucks that are sitting on lots rusting out because they can't have chips shipped quickly enough.

01:08:44.000 Yeah.

01:08:45.000 What do you think happens if China gets control over all of this?

01:08:52.000 It's kind of like the equivalent of OPEC.

01:08:54.000 It's like, oh, you need oil to run your cars?

01:08:55.000 Yeah, we'll have to talk about that.

01:08:57.000 You'll basically bow to what we want.

01:08:59.000 And if they have that, again, if they have the semiconductors, it's like it's in everything that we use, guys.

01:09:03.000 It's not like just one or two.

01:09:04.000 Oh, it's unbelievable.

01:09:05.000 So it's something that not only do they go on to Japan, but this is something that affects the United States.

01:09:08.000 Immediately, and then you're looking at the very least an economic war between the United States and China, and tariffs, and we would have to retool all this stuff here in the United States.

01:09:15.000 The point is, it would upend the way the world does business, and no one at CNN, certainly no one at Disney, wants to talk about it.

01:09:22.000 This is way more of a threat than some folks in the Middle East.

01:09:25.000 I just need to make this clear.

01:09:27.000 And by the way, the foreign minister, Joseph Wu, he knows what I'm talking about.

01:09:31.000 Other than that, Taiwan is a significant bastion for the production of computer chips.

01:09:36.000 And if Taiwan is under attack, I'm sure the world is going to feel the impact.

01:09:41.000 Okay.

01:09:41.000 Yeah, a little bit.

01:09:42.000 Let me cycle this really quick.

01:09:43.000 China hates Japan, of course, right?

01:09:44.000 They claimed Okinawa.

01:09:45.000 That's not true.

01:09:46.000 It's not China's. 0.98

01:09:48.000 Okinawa is only 411 miles away from Taiwan.

01:09:51.000 Very close.

01:09:52.000 Then you have the Senkaku Islands that are only 231 miles from China. 0.98

01:09:55.000 So again, they're talking about they would hopscotch Taiwan, take all the IP, take all the manufacturing, and then boom, boom, boom, hopscotch a couple of islands, and Okinawa, Japan, it's very easy to make, and they would be fools not to make it.

01:10:07.000 They cannot go after Taiwan and then wait for Japan. 0.87

01:10:12.000 Because Japan's going to react. 0.69

01:10:13.000 So, an attack on Taiwan is done with the plan of collecting $200, pass and go, going into Japan.

01:10:20.000 Here's why that also involves the United States.

01:10:21.000 People say, well, we shouldn't get involved anyway. 0.99

01:10:24.000 We don't have that option, because after World War II, we kind of did some shit. 0.98

01:10:29.000 We dropped some nukes. 0.98

01:10:30.000 I'm pro-nuke in Japan if you understand how many more lives would have been lost in a land war. 0.99

01:10:34.000 That being said, this was the kind of thing that decimated parts of Japan. 0.98

01:10:38.000 Rather than conquering and taking their stuff, we signed a treaty.

01:10:41.000 I want to make sure I get the name right.

01:10:42.000 It's the Mutual Security Treaty between the United States and Japan.

01:10:45.000 What that said is that Japan could not build a military for offensive sources or intervene in conflicts internationally, and as a guarantee, we promised them that if ever they were attacked, we would defend them.

01:10:56.000 In other words, if China decides to move on to Japan, which they would if we don't protect Taiwan, we are obligated internationally to intervene.

01:11:05.000 Non-interventionism is not an option unless you just believe that the United States should tear up all of our agreements.

01:11:12.000 I do think that maybe this is a little bit outdated, that we should just say, hey, look, you know what?

01:11:15.000 It's been 70-something years.

01:11:16.000 You guys have been playing ball.

01:11:18.000 Here's some nuclear technology.

01:11:19.000 Have a field day.

01:11:21.000 I think that makes a lot of sense.

01:11:23.000 We can help you balance out power there.

01:11:25.000 We trust you guys.

01:11:26.000 Right.

01:11:26.000 You're good people.

01:11:28.000 Certainly more than China.

01:11:29.000 Existing today.

01:11:31.000 So look, with all of this, and let me, again, I want to see you guys comment below, so you let me know if If you knew about this, and if you understand how concerning it is, and I know it's nerdy, but it's something that, guys, I cannot tell you how important this is.

01:11:44.000 There does not need to be more than just, with one domino fall, you're looking at a minimum of hundreds.

01:11:51.000 There can't be a one domino effect here.

01:11:53.000 It doesn't stop with one domino.

01:11:54.000 And CNN at this exact same time while we're doing this show, and now apparently they have Princess Zelda, who didn't hit the shift key, on air.

01:12:03.000 They were saying, ah, maybe by 2025, because they want to absolve Biden of responsibility.

01:12:08.000 Look, what are the chances?

01:12:10.000 What do I think the chances are?

01:12:11.000 This is entirely conjecture.

01:12:15.000 I think the chances of something happening severe between China and Taiwan under Biden's term, I would put that at about 80 or 90 percent.

01:12:23.000 At some point before Biden is out of office, I think that China is going to make a move with Taiwan.

01:12:29.000 And I really, really wish that we didn't have to be involved, but if they make a move on Taiwan, it goes on to Japan, and of course, you probably don't want your economy even more decimated than it was here after COVID.

01:12:38.000 And by the way, while people are going to start commenting and saying, oh, look, I'm not a John Bolton, okay?

01:12:42.000 That guy who cleans, sweeps between the Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoons.

01:12:44.000 You're a Michael Bolton.

01:12:46.000 Yes, exactly.

01:12:48.000 Sorry, I ruined your rant there.

01:12:50.000 My point here that I'm making is, does anyone really want to argue?

01:12:52.000 Do I need to provide references for anyone to understand?

01:12:56.000 Or if we're going to find common ground, can everyone at least agree, at least agree, that Donald Trump was tougher on China?

01:13:05.000 Donald Trump don't trust China! 1.00

01:13:06.000 China is an a**hole! 1.00

01:13:08.000 That guy had it right. 0.99

01:13:09.000 Alright, we have to get going here on the YouTube.

01:13:11.000 You guys can comment.

01:13:12.000 Wait, can we tell them to smash that like button?

01:13:13.000 Smash the like button, yeah.

01:13:15.000 Right there.

01:13:15.000 Smash that like button like it's Okinawa!

01:13:19.000 Alright, YouTube, thank you very much.

01:13:21.000 I'm sorry that we spoke out against your overlords in China.
