Louder with Crowder - YouTube Bows to the WHO! | #11 Good Morning MugClub

00:00:00.000 Oh, I wasn't drinking.

00:00:12.000 Oh no!

00:00:13.000 Oh, no.

00:00:14.000 How do we?

00:00:14.000 I mean.

00:00:15.000 Oh, jeez.

00:00:16.000 Now we're going to lose a sponsorship.

00:00:19.000 Good morning, everybody.

00:00:21.000 Glad to be with you.

00:00:23.000 Good morning, Mug Club.

00:00:24.000 You want to toss it back?

00:00:25.000 Yeah, I'll toss it back.

00:00:26.000 Just don't spill it.

00:00:27.000 Oh, nice.

00:00:29.000 Almost broke my pipe, which is an heirloom from my grandfather.

00:00:33.000 But you kept the sponsor.

00:00:33.000 I'm not really bothered.

00:00:36.000 Wow.

00:00:38.000 My half-Asian lawyer Bill is not here today, so he's in the third chair. 0.95

00:00:41.000 He's very paranoid about the pajama button in his crotch, so he keeps fixing his real thing. 0.94

00:00:45.000 Oh, is he?

00:00:46.000 Why do they have a button there?

00:00:47.000 You look like a pile of fabric.

00:00:49.000 How are you, sir?

00:00:49.000 I am doing well.

00:00:50.000 Porter Black Garrett is here.

00:00:51.000 We have Tim from HR doing audio, of course.

00:00:55.000 And hold on, really quickly, before we go to Fact Check the Morning News, let's see what they have on CNN real quick.

00:01:00.000 Oh, how dare they.

00:01:04.000 Some states to reopen despite warnings.

00:01:07.000 From whom?

00:01:07.000 CNN.

00:01:08.000 From our morning opinion team.

00:01:10.000 We don't think it's a good idea.

00:01:12.000 We will be talking today about quite a bit.

00:01:15.000 We'll be talking about Dr. Birx.

00:01:16.000 We'll be talking about CNN's role in content.

00:01:18.000 We'll be talking about the death rates.

00:01:20.000 But first, again, the promo code is quarantine.

00:01:22.000 This is hashtag mug club quarantine month.

00:01:26.000 We've doubled up the content for you.

00:01:27.000 Hopefully, let us know.

00:01:28.000 Hopefully this has been of use to you.

00:01:30.000 Hopefully it's acted as a salve for you.

00:01:32.000 If not, it's a big work of time for us.

00:01:34.000 You're crippling unemployment.

00:01:37.000 And live chat, of course, for people who are watching live at the Blaze.

00:01:40.000 Exclusively, Mug Club members, just list your names, since for some reason, I don't know, with all the millions of dollars developed in the platform, we can't give you a username.

00:01:47.000 And we'll be reading some of those from you.

00:01:49.000 Dan Crenshaw's going to be moved to Friday.

00:01:52.000 He was supposed to be on, but he couldn't.

00:01:53.000 He's a busy man.

00:01:54.000 He didn't have the depth perception to hit the video call.

00:01:57.000 The system wasn't available.

00:01:59.000 Wow.

00:02:00.000 He can see!

00:02:01.000 He just can't gauge the depth.

00:02:03.000 Right.

00:02:04.000 Like you with color.

00:02:05.000 Yeah.

00:02:05.000 It's true!

00:02:06.000 You know what?

00:02:07.000 You and Dan Crenshaw should spend your color blind, his depth issues, but together you would be like that Kieran Culkin film, The Mighty.

00:02:14.000 Yes!

00:02:14.000 We're one complete person together.

00:02:16.000 Anyone remember The Mighty?

00:02:17.000 Nope.

00:02:18.000 Really?

00:02:19.000 Two disabled people? 0.97

00:02:20.000 Yeah!

00:02:21.000 Well, it wasn't really... I don't know if retarded is disabled. 1.00

00:02:23.000 People out there, do you remember The Mighty?

00:02:26.000 Do you remember The Mighty?

00:02:28.000 You're a nerdy like me.

00:02:29.000 The Mighty?

00:02:29.000 No.

00:02:30.000 It was a bully, a big bully, and I think it was Kieran Culkin. 0.96

00:02:34.000 But not Macaulay. 0.97

00:02:35.000 Oh, maybe it was Macaulay.

00:02:36.000 I don't remember any... I don't know.

00:02:37.000 But then the kid was on his shoulders.

00:02:40.000 And so, kind of like Little Rascals, you know, in the trench coat.

00:02:43.000 Only they lived their life that way.

00:02:44.000 And together, They lived their whole life that way.

00:02:47.000 And you know what?

00:02:48.000 It wasn't as much about the physical limitations, but they also learned about themselves emotionally, spiritually, intellectually.

00:02:54.000 I'm glad you stopped there.

00:02:56.000 I highly recommend it.

00:02:57.000 Actually, I don't remember it.

00:02:58.000 If you don't watch it, kind of like when I did that with the Pagemaster, and I recommended it, and people, just the tweets were radically upset.

00:03:06.000 I went back and watched it and said, oh, I get it.

00:03:09.000 It's a child's movie.

00:03:10.000 Yes.

00:03:11.000 It's a fine film.

00:03:12.000 Ninja Turtles 2. 0.96

00:03:14.000 That was trash. 0.99

00:03:16.000 That is so secretive. 1.00

00:03:20.000 What's that ooze up to?

00:03:22.000 You can never really tell.

00:03:23.000 I'm never gonna say.

00:03:25.000 What's your secret ooze?

00:03:27.000 No.

00:03:29.000 Why is the ooze Lena Dunham now?

00:03:33.000 Really quickly, I want to fact check this.

00:03:35.000 This has been going on in the morning news.

00:03:37.000 There's been a $60 million pop-up hospital.

00:03:39.000 People have been talking about this because it was necessary in Houston.

00:03:43.000 It's now been sitting empty for two weeks.

00:03:45.000 We'll probably shut down the expenses.

00:03:48.000 Safety officers, the day rates were $2,800, $2,300, and $2,000.

00:03:50.000 $200, $2,300 and $2,000 a finance section chief at 2875 a day to public information officers at 2,000 a day

00:03:50.000 A finance section chief at $2,875 a day.

00:03:58.000 Basically, you know, they were making over 2,000 a day between two and three thousand to sit in an empty

00:04:04.000 So that CNN could berate Donald Trump for not you building enough of are you?

00:04:08.000 I'm trying to do math in my head.

00:04:10.000 Yeah, $2,000 a day is a lot.

00:04:11.000 Yeah, math without the Asian wrap will prove a fruitless endeavor. 1.00

00:04:16.000 Even on a temporary basis, that's highway robbery.

00:04:18.000 And then we're going to be talking about the YouTube and all of the social media and what their new rules now.

00:04:18.000 Come on.

00:04:24.000 We've seen this with the World Health Organization.

00:04:25.000 So my question to you, actually, out there is, I guess we haven't been doing this for the day often.

00:04:29.000 In good morning, Michael.

00:04:30.000 Sorry, I just saw the frickin' headline here.

00:04:33.000 Why do you care?

00:04:34.000 I care about Texas.

00:04:35.000 I care what Texas does. 1.00

00:04:36.000 They talked about Houston earlier, overreacting.

00:04:36.000 Yeah, right?

00:04:38.000 You don't live in Dallas.

00:04:39.000 Well, I know I don't live in Dallas, but still, come on!

00:04:42.000 Through May 15th, why?

00:04:44.000 You know what?

00:04:44.000 You know who needs to make a stand against this?

00:04:47.000 You're the only one who has the power to make this right.

00:04:47.000 Quick Trip.

00:04:52.000 Don't be waiting for those 7-Eleven Johnny Quest buddies to come on in.

00:04:56.000 They aren't doing it.

00:04:57.000 That was a roundabout way to say haji.

00:05:01.000 Or Racetrack, for crying out loud.

00:05:05.000 Racetrack.

00:05:06.000 What are they?

00:05:07.000 Terrible.

00:05:08.000 Exactly.

00:05:08.000 That's all they are.

00:05:09.000 That's the essence.

00:05:09.000 Exactly.

00:05:10.000 It was a soft lob.

00:05:11.000 The essence!

00:05:14.000 Anyone remember that reference?

00:05:15.000 No.

00:05:15.000 Is it from The Mighty?

00:05:18.000 We can't have two of those.

00:05:19.000 Another horrible children's film.

00:05:21.000 The Mighty.

00:05:21.000 An antonym, matter of fact, for this program.

00:05:25.000 So what do you think about social media's role during the whole outbreak of the coronavirus?

00:05:29.000 There is a balance, right?

00:05:30.000 Do you think they need to shut down fake conspiracy theories where people are deliberately trying to mislead the public into selling them something, you know, some snake oil?

00:05:37.000 I understand that.

00:05:38.000 But are you also a little bit leery of YouTube, Facebook, Twitter, the Alphabet networks here?

00:05:43.000 I guess Alphabet is the parent company of Google.

00:05:45.000 But they might as well be the alphabet networks.

00:05:47.000 That's how we used to refer to ABC, NBC, CBS.

00:05:49.000 That is ABC, NBC, CBS.

00:05:51.000 That is Google, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter.

00:05:55.000 Facebook owns Instagram.

00:05:56.000 I don't know what Twitter owns.

00:05:58.000 I'm amazed Twitter is still a thing.

00:05:59.000 They're just riding around like the third wheel.

00:06:01.000 Jack, right?

00:06:02.000 Well, my wife and I were talking about this last night.

00:06:03.000 That's one of the major differences with what we have now and what we had in 2009, what we had in 2003.

00:06:09.000 And we've seen, like, every five to ten years, there is an outbreak somewhere of something like this, right?

00:06:14.000 Maybe not the exact same thing, but what was different?

00:06:16.000 And it's, like, the immediate access to information is so much different now.

00:06:20.000 I still remember the, uh, the 03 outbreak of Zynga.

00:06:23.000 Yeah.

00:06:24.000 No.

00:06:25.000 No, you don't.

00:06:26.000 Bad news.

00:06:26.000 Still feeling the havoc that was wreaked from this ripple effect.

00:06:30.000 Of Zynga?

00:06:31.000 Remember Zynga?

00:06:32.000 I do!

00:06:34.000 Or Zima.

00:06:35.000 Just a bunch of Asians with anime and finding ways to bypass pornography filters. 1.00

00:06:38.000 And then there was Friendster and then there was MySpace, which brought us the likes of Tia Tequila and I think Jeffree Star, so thanks for that.

00:06:46.000 Wow.

00:06:47.000 Tia Tequila.

00:06:47.000 Thank you, Tom.

00:06:50.000 He was a good friend.

00:06:51.000 That didn't sound genuine.

00:06:53.000 Really?

00:06:54.000 Yeah.

00:06:55.000 You pick up.

00:06:56.000 You know what?

00:06:58.000 Maybe if you and Wade together, you can be the mighty as it comes, like, for picking social cues.

00:07:03.000 We can say that you're Asperger's, then Wade's gut-punching snideness. 0.98

00:07:07.000 That's true, yeah.

00:07:09.000 We could be a formidable opponent.

00:07:10.000 The funny thing is, Wade is, you know this about Wade, I love audio Wade, but audio Wade sometimes, he will say the most self-esteem shatteringly brutal insult.

00:07:21.000 And, like, he's throwing it in the trash.

00:07:23.000 Yeah.

00:07:23.000 He continues walking about his merry way.

00:07:24.000 You're like, oh my god!

00:07:26.000 But I love you guys.

00:07:27.000 That was... What?

00:07:28.000 You fall to your knees as he passes by.

00:07:30.000 I can't believe you know that's a family issue!

00:07:32.000 That caused rifts!

00:07:33.000 I've been thinking about it for weeks.

00:07:34.000 And you just threw it in there!

00:07:35.000 Yeah.

00:07:36.000 He just owns you.

00:07:38.000 So let me know what you think.

00:07:38.000 Okay.

00:07:38.000 Alright.

00:07:39.000 What is the role of social media, if at all?

00:07:42.000 Hey, Ice-T is doing commercials.

00:07:43.000 Let's go to this.

00:07:44.000 Musician.

00:07:44.000 Actor.

00:07:45.000 Let me see this.

00:07:45.000 Get in.

00:07:46.000 I think it said actor, musician, actor.

00:07:48.000 That's why.

00:07:50.000 They get a car shield on you.

00:07:51.000 Car shield.

00:07:52.000 Give me that car shield. 0.58

00:07:54.000 Only you can say this.

00:07:56.000 This guy is right next to IEC.

00:08:00.000 Let's bring it up a little bit louder, Tim, and bring it in quickly.

00:08:02.000 I know what we're doing.

00:08:03.000 Car shield helps ease the pain.

00:08:05.000 Let's go to Thomas.

00:08:08.000 Just talk to this guy whose car I used to jack!

00:08:12.000 My car was jacked.

00:08:13.000 It's true.

00:08:14.000 Ice-T used to absolutely have no regard for my personal property.

00:08:19.000 He right, he right.

00:08:20.000 And now I have car shield and he does ads for me.

00:08:23.000 He right, my bad, my bad.

00:08:24.000 You guys see the director's chair in the background with Ice-T's name on it?

00:08:27.000 Right?

00:08:28.000 So you knew who it was.

00:08:30.000 For some reason, this is something I will say, we have to move on to actual news, but you know, remember, like, please, if punk rock bands, remember if they became popular, if they even had the gall to become popular, where it's not even their fault other people like their music, they're considered sellouts.

00:08:43.000 With rappers, that's the goal.

00:08:45.000 Eventually, you too can sell out.

00:08:46.000 I want to sell out.

00:08:47.000 Like, just think about it.

00:08:50.000 If Green Day, for example, if what's his name, Billy Joe, what?

00:08:52.000 Billy Joe Armstrong?

00:08:53.000 If he made a cameo in Deep Blue Sea, No one will be like, that's good, that's gonna be good for you.

00:09:00.000 You're the chef.

00:09:02.000 You're the chef, man.

00:09:03.000 Hell, if Good Charlotte made a cameo. 1.00

00:09:05.000 If Good Charlotte were doing advertising for Car Shield.

00:09:08.000 Your career's done at that point.

00:09:09.000 You've taken a different path.

00:09:10.000 Commercials for the Car Shield!

00:09:13.000 Oh wow, look, they're doing a commercial.

00:09:14.000 It's pretty much about on par with the writing of all your other songs, Good Charlotte.

00:09:18.000 Which one of you is the evil twin?

00:09:21.000 I'm not entirely sure.

00:09:22.000 I used to be able to tell by the hairdo, but now neither one of them have hair.

00:09:24.000 Oh! 0.60

00:09:25.000 So let's get to this.

00:09:26.000 This was chilling.

00:09:28.000 I don't know if you guys have watched this clip.

00:09:29.000 I want to set this up for you.

00:09:31.000 We did the live stream yesterday, obviously, with the Dr. Birks, who just... Wow.

00:09:39.000 And now this is, is this from CNN, I think, this clip?

00:09:41.000 This is Susan Wojcicki, YouTube CEO.

00:09:43.000 While we talk about social media, and we talk about their role, I understand that they have a bias.

00:09:47.000 We noticed this when we first started doing any of the COVID videos.

00:09:50.000 Back then it was still called WooFlu.

00:09:53.000 And then Coronavirus.

00:09:55.000 And no one says Coronavirus anymore.

00:09:56.000 They all say COVID.

00:09:57.000 COVID, yeah.

00:09:58.000 They've gotten lazy.

00:09:59.000 But I've also heard people, epidemiologists, refer to it as a disease as opposed to a virus.

00:10:04.000 I thought HIV is the virus and AIDS is a disease.

00:10:08.000 Like HIV is Magic Johnson and AIDS is Tom Hanks in Philadelphia.

00:10:12.000 Right.

00:10:13.000 And then I don't know if there was somewhere in between, Jared Leto, Dallas Buyers Club, I have no idea.

00:10:17.000 I don't know the progression, but I know there's a difference between a virus and a disease.

00:10:21.000 So I will tell you this, I'm not a pedi-nologist, but I believe it's a virus.

00:10:28.000 But this was Susan Wojcicki talking about their approach here at Google and YouTube, and what's really scary here is what she flat-out... See if you can spot what she flat-out declares to be a violation of policy, which will directly affect... Let's go.

00:10:44.000 So we talk about that as raising authoritative information.

00:10:47.000 But then we also talk about removing information that is problematic.

00:10:52.000 Of course anything that is medically unsubstantiated.

00:10:55.000 So people saying like, take vitamin C.

00:10:59.000 Take turmeric, those will cure you.

00:11:02.000 Those are the examples of things that would be a violation of our policy.

00:11:06.000 Anything that would go against World Health Organization recommendations would be a violation of our policy, and so remove is another really important part of our policy.

00:11:15.000 So you're not just putting the truth next to the lie.

00:11:18.000 You're taking the lie down.

00:11:19.000 That's a pretty aggressive approach.

00:11:21.000 Yeah, I suppose if Brian Stelter wanted to go down on the lie, he was a former wrestler, stage name.

00:11:27.000 No, I was just I was just thinking like our audience usually seeing one of those in a video is enough for poison.

00:11:34.000 Yeah We do apologize.

00:11:36.000 Yes, and you were saying Brian Stelter.

00:11:39.000 He's what he's his age.

00:11:40.000 Yeah, Brian Stelter I totally forgot about this.

00:11:43.000 Yes, Brian Stelter is two years older than you.

00:11:44.000 Wow.

00:11:44.000 I totally forgot about this. Yes, Brian Stelter is two years older than you. Wow. What? Yeah. Yeah, Susan Wojcicki

00:11:52.000 is four years younger Oh, it's all that all that poddling essence 0.98

00:11:57.000 Just her I think I think if you're dumb enough to believe that vitamin C will cure you of a disease by this point 0.96

00:12:07.000 like Here's the truth, though. 0.96

00:12:08.000 There actually is some intravenous vitamin C that is effective against a lot of viruses at high doses, not taking air.

00:12:13.000 It's not going to cure anything.

00:12:15.000 This is one thing I'll say.

00:12:16.000 I've had to have conversations off air with Dr. Choi and other medical experts.

00:12:21.000 You guys all know this.

00:12:21.000 We all have a protocol that we're taking here based on the recommendation of a doctor where he said this is a good preventative measure to take.

00:12:28.000 Cigars.

00:12:28.000 There's no guarantee.

00:12:29.000 No.

00:12:30.000 But I can't talk about it on air.

00:12:31.000 Because if I tell you what we're taking, We will be considered spreading fake news.

00:12:35.000 And it's not a cure, but it is a preventative measure that they're studying right now that has been showing a lot of promise.

00:12:40.000 We each take three pills a day here that are supplements that are lab tested.

00:12:43.000 We get from a certified lab.

00:12:44.000 Can't tell ya!

00:12:45.000 So, good luck!

00:12:48.000 That and the cigar.

00:12:48.000 At least they clean their stuff very frequently.

00:12:52.000 At Quick Trip.

00:12:52.000 You need me!

00:12:53.000 Quick Trip! 0.99

00:12:54.000 Quick Trip! 0.99

00:12:55.000 I will spend all my days there.

00:12:58.000 Can you guys please do this so I can stop hearing this?

00:13:00.000 Please sponsor the show.

00:13:02.000 If they sponsor, we're going to hear it every day.

00:13:03.000 So she said, you see, anything that goes against the World Health Organization will be removed.

00:13:07.000 Really?

00:13:08.000 I heard a collective uh-oh from Taiwan. 0.99

00:13:11.000 Uh-oh, that's not good.

00:13:12.000 You mean like they're trying to remove us from the history books?

00:13:16.000 This is the thing.

00:13:17.000 People, they want to sound nice.

00:13:18.000 We're a World Health Organization.

00:13:19.000 But go back to our videos that we've done on this.

00:13:22.000 They don't recognize Taiwan at all.

00:13:24.000 And that wouldn't be so sinister.

00:13:27.000 For example, let's say they didn't recognize Palestine as a country because, of course, it's not a country and it never has been and the rest of the Arab world didn't want them.

00:13:33.000 They said, you go over there.

00:13:34.000 And the Jews were like, how about us?

00:13:36.000 And they're like, no, no, we want it back.

00:13:38.000 Anyway, the point is, That was a nice little play.

00:13:41.000 The point is Taiwan, the reason that Taiwan is Taiwan is because of gross abuses of human rights.

00:13:49.000 When they talk about, you know, you see like Hotel Rwanda with the second guy from Iron Man 2.

00:13:56.000 The one who got a job because Terrence Howard asked for too much money.

00:14:02.000 That guy.

00:14:03.000 He was in Hotel Rwanda.

00:14:04.000 They talk about all these humanitarian crises abroad.

00:14:04.000 People talk about Darfur.

00:14:07.000 I am more convinced now that when they don't have a dog in the fight, that's when liberals, that's when the left feigns outrage.

00:14:13.000 Because right here, this is right at our doorstep, World Health Organization, they have the opportunity to take a stand and say, hold on a second, you refuse to even acknowledge that Taiwan exists.

00:14:22.000 Your representative hung up on a Skype call when asked about Taiwan.

00:14:26.000 And it matters because why?

00:14:27.000 Let's say someone in Taiwan, let's say a government official from Taiwan released a video that was equivalent to the emails that they sent to the World Health Organization, I believe in December, if I'm not mistaken, I don't have this in front of me, December, yeah, December.

00:14:40.000 They sent them emails to the World Health Organization saying, hey, hey, hey, you know how you're saying that coronavirus can't be transmitted from human to human contact?

00:14:47.000 We have studies right here, we have verifiable data that proves that's not true.

00:14:52.000 They ignored it, World Health Organization.

00:14:54.000 They did not incorporate it.

00:14:55.000 Imagine if Taiwan created a YouTube video saying, hey, just so you know, the World Health Organization is wrong.

00:15:01.000 It can be transferred from human to human contact.

00:15:03.000 This broad, Susan Wojcicki, would remove it because of her political motivation. 1.00

00:15:08.000 That is terrifying.

00:15:10.000 Well, and they become the arbiters of truth.

00:15:12.000 Who do you trust?

00:15:13.000 Do you trust an organization like the WHO who's now being looked at to be defunded by the United States because they coddled up next to China in the face of overwhelming evidence that they should have been a little bit more critical of how they were approaching the disease? 0.61

00:15:24.000 I think you said coddled up.

00:15:25.000 They coddled China. 0.99

00:15:27.000 They canoodled up to China.

00:15:29.000 They canoodled up to China and then they were arrested by a policeman for not distancing.

00:15:34.000 That was a reasonable response, but Susan Wojcicki and their crew now get to tell you what information is real and what is not.

00:15:40.000 And I'm sorry, but I like free speech.

00:15:42.000 I like the ability to go through.

00:15:44.000 I hate stuff that's fake on YouTube and other places.

00:15:47.000 Of course.

00:15:47.000 I get it.

00:15:47.000 Everybody does.

00:15:48.000 Can we all just agree on that?

00:15:49.000 Of course.

00:15:50.000 I still want the opportunity to see it, because you guys would be saying that it's fake, the stuff that Taiwan was saying.

00:15:55.000 Just to your point.

00:15:57.000 Well, they've said that our stuff is fake, when our stuff is actually correct.

00:16:00.000 When we talked about the World Health Organization.

00:16:01.000 By the way, you want to talk about identity politics?

00:16:04.000 The head of the World Health Organization said that it was racist for Taiwan to criticize him.

00:16:09.000 Huh?

00:16:11.000 Well, the left has made it clear that they will just listen to somebody because they have some kind of authoritative name, or China is claiming some amount of authority for themselves, and so they'll listen to them.

00:16:22.000 The WHO claims the World Health Organization as their name, and the left will go, oh, okay.

00:16:27.000 And the people on the right tend to have at least some part of them that goes, I don't know.

00:16:32.000 I don't know about that.

00:16:33.000 There seems to be a direct correlation with the left and credibility with a given spokesperson with vowels, the number of vowels in your last name.

00:16:42.000 Also melanin.

00:16:43.000 Sure.

00:16:44.000 These are big determining factors.

00:16:46.000 So let me get this straight.

00:16:47.000 Taiwan puts out a report that could have helped the entire world, the WHO ignores them, and Taiwan says, hey, you probably shouldn't have ignored us, and he said racist.

00:16:54.000 Photo negative Ned Flanders said racist.

00:16:54.000 Yeah.

00:16:57.000 Bring that up.

00:16:58.000 That's photo negative of Ned Flanagan.

00:16:59.000 Oh, yeah.

00:17:00.000 The world health head.

00:17:00.000 Bring that guy back up.

00:17:00.000 Yeah.

00:17:02.000 Come on, let's see.

00:17:03.000 Let's see what he's got.

00:17:04.000 Come on, bring it up there, Gibby.

00:17:06.000 Garbles, garbles, this is live.

00:17:07.000 Yo, let's go. 1.00

00:17:08.000 You son of a bitch, son of a bitch, son of a bitch. 1.00

00:17:11.000 I think he was just pulling up an art. 1.00

00:17:13.000 I know, I know.

00:17:13.000 Maybe he'll do it if he actually had that overlay.

00:17:15.000 Maybe he'll do it if you call him a Nazi propagandist.

00:17:18.000 Yeah, that's going to spur him on to act.

00:17:21.000 Oh, by the way, CNN, uh... Exactly what I was waiting for.

00:17:25.000 Oh, there we go, finally, yeah.

00:17:27.000 Hadley Ho, Taiwan! 1.00

00:17:32.000 Also, huge dick. 1.00

00:17:32.000 Did you know Ned Flanders? 1.00

00:17:34.000 Wow.

00:17:34.000 Come on, that's a given.

00:17:35.000 We know.

00:17:36.000 He's gotta have something going for him.

00:17:38.000 Is it racist if it's a compliment?

00:17:40.000 Nah, I don't think so.

00:17:41.000 I'm sure he jumps.

00:17:42.000 I'm sure that guy has hops.

00:17:44.000 Yeah.

00:17:45.000 It runs for days.

00:17:46.000 Howdy ho, alley-oop. 0.97

00:17:47.000 Good for you.

00:17:48.000 I'm curious to see if they bring up Florida again on CNN because they just dropped their

00:17:54.000 death rate estimate by You're going to see the death rate drop like flies, and I'll get into that a little bit later.

00:18:03.000 Here's something else.

00:18:04.000 I think, was it called Dragonfly?

00:18:06.000 Yes.

00:18:06.000 This is something important. Google and YouTube, so when you talk about the World Health Organization

00:18:10.000 and you talk about Taiwan, you talk about the grossest abuses of human rights, you talk 0.91

00:18:14.000 about them silencing voices of dissent, then it's important to note that Google and YouTube,

00:18:19.000 they were working on a search engine where they could censor people. I think it was called

00:18:22.000 Dragonfly to work with the government of China. As far as I'm concerned, you can't do business

00:18:27.000 in the United States if you do that.

00:18:29.000 And they were planning on launching it this year.

00:18:31.000 Would that be an abuse of power?

00:18:33.000 If I were president, that for me would be an executive order.

00:18:36.000 Any business that decides to actually cater to the Chinese government's censorship.

00:18:41.000 Not, you can't sell your products in China.

00:18:43.000 Of course not.

00:18:44.000 Not you can't have an import-export coordinator based in China.

00:18:46.000 Of course not.

00:18:47.000 But if a company is creating a subsidiary to specifically appease and work with Chinese government censorship laws, you can't do business in the U.S.

00:18:56.000 You have to pick.

00:18:57.000 That makes sense to me.

00:18:59.000 And China's doing this exact same thing. 0.97

00:19:02.000 If you recognize Taiwan, if you're a multinational corporation or if you're somebody that's trying to go in, you can't go in there and say, yeah, Taiwan's an independent nation and China let you do business with them.

00:19:09.000 They won't let you do that.

00:19:11.000 And it's not like they were censoring small things, like bad memes about their leaders.

00:19:16.000 It was about freedom, democracy, dissenters, religion, all of these topics that people are going to talk about all over the world. 0.95

00:19:22.000 And they're like, we don't want any of that because every time we have some of that stuff, a whistleblower comes out and we have to kill them. 0.98

00:19:26.000 We have to kill them every time. 0.99

00:19:26.000 Well, you know what? 0.99

00:19:27.000 YouTube, Google, and the Alphabet Networks and World Health Organization, they're the figurative tank mowing down the guy in Tiananmen Square.

00:19:35.000 They really are.

00:19:36.000 Right now.

00:19:36.000 It is remarkable to me.

00:19:37.000 They're making it possible for them to do that.

00:19:40.000 They are, obviously, they'll make that possible if it comes down to that, but I mean, in the realm of speech, in the realm of discourse, they are actually assisting the big guy.

00:19:50.000 They're attempting to bring a separate nation's tyrannical rules here, at least and operate in the digital space, which increasingly, because of this COVID thing, has become the only space that a lot of people share.

00:20:01.000 Yeah.

00:20:02.000 That's a good point.

00:20:02.000 And you made a point the other day when we were talking about this, like if you do that, if you play that game, it basically, it's the lowest common denominator becomes the rules for everybody.

00:20:11.000 So we have a great system over here, but we got to throw it away because they have a really shitty system over there.

00:20:16.000 Exactly.

00:20:16.000 Right.

00:20:17.000 And so we have to play by their rules.

00:20:18.000 When people say that's ethnocentric.

00:20:20.000 Okay.

00:20:22.000 Sorry.

00:20:22.000 Okay.

00:20:23.000 It's ethnocentric to say that our system that affords citizens rights is better than the system of China?

00:20:29.000 Okay. 0.99

00:20:30.000 Also, I think chopsticks suck. 0.99

00:20:31.000 That's very inefficient. 1.00

00:20:34.000 If you hear that and you interpret it through the lens of ethnicity, you're a silly person. 1.00

00:20:37.000 Exactly. 0.99

00:20:39.000 Much like my comments about the World Health Organization. 0.92

00:20:41.000 That's silly.

00:20:43.000 It had nothing to do with race and everything to do with culture. 0.95

00:20:46.000 So! 0.81

00:20:49.000 He is of the Ned Flanders culture.

00:20:52.000 Can you hear the dog whistle?

00:20:53.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:20:55.000 I think actually right well hold on right now study no benefits potentially danger

00:21:02.000 with hydroxychloroquine Which again they show minority families dying they're 0.99

00:21:10.000 talking about I think was Van Jones said yesterday This will be a death sentence for people of color in the 0.97

00:21:15.000 United States if we reopen the economy at all. What what are you talking about?

00:21:18.000 What does that even mean?

00:21:19.000 They want us to think that it's like Warsaw?

00:21:22.000 Well, do people of color not have jobs? 0.96

00:21:24.000 Yes, they do.

00:21:24.000 They work just like everybody else.

00:21:25.000 Unfortunately, that's the assumption of a lot of those on the left.

00:21:27.000 That they benefit disproportionately from unemployment.

00:21:29.000 The assumption is that they are just going to die.

00:21:32.000 That this is the only change that will happen.

00:21:34.000 Well, yes, people will die.

00:21:35.000 People are constantly dying of different things.

00:21:37.000 But yes, they also have jobs.

00:21:38.000 They also will be showing up to work or not, depending on whether or not people will let them.

00:21:42.000 They also have kids that need to feed.

00:21:45.000 Does anyone else take tremendous pleasure knowing that Van Jones is the man who is ultimately trying to appease, obviously, the black base, but has no fans whatsoever from the black community?

00:21:57.000 I really don't think that many black Americans are watching CNN.

00:22:03.000 It's not like he has his own show.

00:22:04.000 He's buried on Anderson Cooper.

00:22:07.000 That'd be like burying Def Comedy Jam as a commercial break in Mary Tyler Moore.

00:22:10.000 You're not going to hit your target audience. 1.00

00:22:13.000 Hey man, I like that bitch. 1.00

00:22:14.000 She got spunk. 1.00

00:22:15.000 Oh wait, who's that?

00:22:17.000 Monique? 0.75

00:22:18.000 Oh, now I'm on stage for the second segment.

00:22:22.000 I like how she threw that hat in the air. 1.00

00:22:23.000 That's gangsta every time.

00:22:23.000 That's gangsta.

00:22:25.000 That's my shit! 1.00

00:22:28.000 I can't throw my hat, though, because it's still got the sticker on it. 1.00

00:22:31.000 Yeah, because you know I got my threads.

00:22:33.000 I just saw that yesterday.

00:22:34.000 I saw a kid who was walking, he had stickers on his hat.

00:22:36.000 That's still a thing?

00:22:37.000 He had tags on his shoes.

00:22:38.000 That is still a thing.

00:22:39.000 And his shoes were red, his pants were red, his belt was red, his hat was red, his shirt was black, and then he had a gold backpack on.

00:22:45.000 It's just put together.

00:22:46.000 What?

00:22:46.000 It too had stickers on.

00:22:47.000 I'm going, how expensive is that?

00:22:49.000 Because you know all of his outfits must be just as color-coordinated, which I can appreciate.

00:22:52.000 I'm like, where are you getting this money?

00:22:54.000 I think he just had recently stolen them all.

00:22:56.000 Gosh, I had to save up for Goldeneye for N64.

00:22:58.000 Could you imagine if I had to get new kicks every time there was a grand opening and people waited outside and there were Kongo pup tents like it was a Star Wars movie line?

00:23:07.000 And by the way, Kongo pup... I'm talking about the actual pup tents in Kongo.

00:23:09.000 Remember that movie Kongo?

00:23:10.000 Yeah.

00:23:11.000 The tents they threw up and went... They were fantastic!

00:23:13.000 Yeah, and then I think they were... Did they really work?

00:23:15.000 I don't... We used to have them at Canadian Tire in Canada.

00:23:17.000 I really just wanted that self-tracking gun system.

00:23:20.000 Canadian Tire was like our Home Depot, only they had something called Canadian Tire Money.

00:23:24.000 Canadians out there will know this.

00:23:25.000 And I had a kid at school who tried to counterfeit Canadian Tire Money.

00:23:29.000 What was that beep?

00:23:30.000 I don't know.

00:23:30.000 Did something go wrong?

00:23:31.000 Is there a problem in here? 1.00

00:23:32.000 Do we all need to duck under our desk and kiss our ass goodbye? 1.00

00:23:37.000 Step one, don't go to your desk. 1.00

00:23:39.000 Canadian Tire Money.

00:23:40.000 He tried to counterfeit Canadian Tire Money and then tried to counterfeit tickets to the school talent show.

00:23:44.000 Really?

00:23:45.000 It was immediately discovered.

00:23:47.000 Early on, huh?

00:23:48.000 It didn't take Detective Comics Dark Knight.

00:23:50.000 They were like, oh yeah, this is fake.

00:23:52.000 He just used normal construction paper.

00:23:55.000 A buddy of mine did something like that.

00:23:57.000 He used to collect baseball cards, and he signed a Nolan Ryan baseball card, like, in, like, almost print, you know, and not cursive at all, and he tried to pass it off.

00:24:04.000 He signed it like Andy signed the bottom of Woody's shoe.

00:24:08.000 Or, like, he sent a letter, like, you know, if you ever want to see your kid alive again, right?

00:24:11.000 And just those blocks, and it was like, oh, that's not signed by him.

00:24:14.000 He's like, no, really, it is.

00:24:14.000 I'll sell it to you for a hundred bucks.

00:24:16.000 Then you were wise when you saw that he signed your Hank Aaron card, Mickey Mantle.

00:24:20.000 Yes, that's what did it.

00:24:21.000 Not good.

00:24:22.000 I'm impressed you knew both of those names.

00:24:24.000 Well, I watched Sandlot.

00:24:28.000 Before we move on, I know that many of you have been affected by this stay-at-home order, the quarantine, and so I think we have them on the line, if I'm not mistaken.

00:24:34.000 It's time for a traffic report with our very own senior traffic report correspondent, Thomas Finnegan.

00:24:39.000 ♪♪♪ All right, Mr. Finnegan, are you there, sir?

00:24:52.000 How are you?

00:24:52.000 I am here, Steven.

00:24:54.000 I have successfully crash-landed the helicopter.

00:24:58.000 Oh, good.

00:24:59.000 Wow.

00:25:00.000 I don't know what to tell you.

00:25:02.000 Well, how about you tell me about the traffic this morning, Thomas, since that's why you're on the payroll?

00:25:08.000 I can't tell you much about the traffic, but I'm going to have to let you go.

00:25:11.000 I've got some natives to deal with. 1.00

00:25:13.000 What's that sound in the background, Thomas?

00:25:14.000 Yeah, what sound?

00:25:19.000 Oh my.

00:25:20.000 Did we just lose the dog?

00:25:20.000 Oh, he's gone.

00:25:21.000 They got to him.

00:25:22.000 Do we have any natives to deal with? 1.00

00:25:24.000 Some what to deal with?

00:25:24.000 Natives?

00:25:25.000 I think he said natives.

00:25:26.000 Where was he doing traffic?

00:25:27.000 Where was his helicopter?

00:25:28.000 This has been our traffic report with Thomas Finnegan.

00:25:29.000 Let's move on.

00:25:30.000 Let's make sure someone checks on him.

00:25:41.000 Yeah, well.

00:25:42.000 One less mouth to feed, I guess?

00:25:44.000 I don't know.

00:25:44.000 Silver lining?

00:25:45.000 One of these days we'll need to get some traffic report, though.

00:25:47.000 Yeah, that would be helpful.

00:25:49.000 One of these days we'll need to get a legitimate traffic reporter.

00:25:51.000 And a new helicopter, apparently.

00:25:53.000 Wait, hold on a sec.

00:25:54.000 Tyson shuts down Waterloo, Iowa plant linked to virus outbreak.

00:25:58.000 On the left is Tyson.

00:26:01.000 And on the right, surprise guest, Buster Douglas! 0.96

00:26:06.000 I usually don't talk with female reporters unless I fornicated with them. 1.00

00:26:10.000 So you should probably stop putting me in the quadrant view unless you want to.

00:26:13.000 You know.

00:26:16.000 Here's the thing.

00:26:16.000 They talked about Florida this morning.

00:26:18.000 They were talking about Florida.

00:26:19.000 Why no mention of it now?

00:26:21.000 They talk about Florida, how horrible it is, right?

00:26:21.000 Why no mention?

00:26:23.000 They're reopening Florida.

00:26:24.000 Can you believe this?

00:26:25.000 The beaches?

00:26:26.000 But now that Florida has lowered its death estimate by 70%.

00:26:29.000 Not a peep from this guy who, I don't know who he is, but there's something that really bothers me about him.

00:26:34.000 I realize what it is.

00:26:34.000 It's his nose.

00:26:36.000 And you know he's not tough enough to have had it broken in a boxing fight.

00:26:39.000 You're talking about the host?

00:26:41.000 Yeah, the host.

00:26:42.000 Well, it does seem like he, like, maybe was standing behind the wrong golf club.

00:26:46.000 Or something.

00:26:46.000 Yes.

00:26:47.000 Maybe he fell or something.

00:26:50.000 Something girly.

00:26:50.000 Is croquet a club?

00:26:52.000 Is it a racket?

00:26:52.000 I think we figured out it's a mallet.

00:26:53.000 I think it's a mallet.

00:26:54.000 Is it a mallet?

00:26:55.000 No, you're not tenderizing steak with it.

00:26:55.000 Croquet mallet.

00:26:57.000 Well, it looks like a mallet.

00:26:58.000 He got hit with a xylophone mallet.

00:27:02.000 Google it.

00:27:03.000 I will be justified.

00:27:03.000 Maybe he was in the front row at a Gallagher show.

00:27:06.000 That's true.

00:27:06.000 Yes!

00:27:07.000 By the way, I don't care what anyone says.

00:27:09.000 When he smashes that watermelon.

00:27:11.000 Every time.

00:27:12.000 Watch out for those rinds, baby. 0.54

00:27:12.000 Every time. 0.54

00:27:14.000 Watch out.

00:27:15.000 Rinds will be a-flyin'. 1.00

00:27:17.000 Rind humor.

00:27:18.000 It's a genre.

00:27:20.000 This is something I wondered.

00:27:21.000 After we did our live stream yesterday of the press briefing, and thank you so much to people.

00:27:25.000 By the way, I hate to say it because I actually have good friends at Fox News.

00:27:27.000 We peaked Fox News.

00:27:28.000 Did you really?

00:27:29.000 Accidentally!

00:27:31.000 It was just we threw it together last minute because people are desperate.

00:27:34.000 People are thirsting for these press briefings, and I think you have a lot of people.

00:27:37.000 Fox News runs them, I think, on their channel, but most of the main news channels that are appearing, you know, they're YouTube friendly that don't dare question the World Health Organization.

00:27:45.000 They're not necessarily broadcasting it.

00:27:47.000 So we had a ton of people tuning in.

00:27:48.000 So thank you very much.

00:27:49.000 We appreciate the support.

00:27:50.000 And by the way, if your Mug Club is up for renewal, please do consider renewing.

00:27:53.000 And if you're subscribed, hit the notification bell.

00:27:56.000 Hit all notifications on YouTube.

00:27:58.000 And of course, Crowder Bits is another channel right now.

00:28:00.000 The podcasts are available on audio all this month, all of the Good Morning Month Club as well.

00:28:04.000 It's not iTunes anymore, it's Apple Podcasts, Android.

00:28:07.000 All over the place.

00:28:08.000 Spotify, I don't know.

00:28:09.000 We're everywhere.

00:28:09.000 But after we did the CNN stream, so I went home.

00:28:12.000 You know, you're always a little bit wired.

00:28:14.000 Right.

00:28:14.000 You gotta wind down.

00:28:15.000 This looks easy, but it should be, but it's not.

00:28:19.000 Uh, and I went home and I was reading the news, and so right away I saw this article at CNN.

00:28:23.000 Can we bring this up, this overlay, Gibbon?

00:28:25.000 It said, uh, Borger calls out Dr. Birx.

00:28:28.000 It's a mixed message.

00:28:29.000 First off, it didn't have that initial thumbnail, so I didn't know who Borger was.

00:28:33.000 I thought it was a hockey player.

00:28:35.000 It turns out it was Ray Borg.

00:28:37.000 And I was like, why would he be commenting on Dr. Brooks?

00:28:39.000 And how did he get to the story so quickly?

00:28:40.000 Very fast, yeah.

00:28:43.000 I want to be really clear about that.

00:28:44.000 This is going to be a little bit long.

00:28:46.000 It's a three-minute clip.

00:28:47.000 But I want you to see the clip in its entirety, because this is remarkable to me.

00:28:52.000 When CNN, when they talk about these other outlets, it's important to have legitimate news.

00:28:56.000 That's what Brian Stelter was saying after Jussie Smollett.

00:28:59.000 It's important to have Real news.

00:29:01.000 Any blogger can post information.

00:29:03.000 Then I see this headline.

00:29:04.000 Borg.

00:29:05.000 Borg swats down?

00:29:05.000 What is it?

00:29:07.000 Borger?

00:29:07.000 Borger.

00:29:08.000 Borger what?

00:29:08.000 Borger?

00:29:09.000 What did Borger do?

00:29:10.000 What does it say?

00:29:11.000 Gibbon?

00:29:11.000 I can't remember.

00:29:12.000 Borger calls out.

00:29:13.000 Borger calls out Dr. Brooks.

00:29:13.000 That's what it is.

00:29:14.000 Just leave us out there, Gibbon.

00:29:15.000 Let us flail.

00:29:16.000 Yeah, calls out Dr. Brooks.

00:29:17.000 It might as well be a Young Turks title.

00:29:19.000 Right, exactly.

00:29:20.000 I expected to see a side-by-side with Mike Tyson and Anna Kasparian.

00:29:26.000 And then I said, OK, well, I need to watch this.

00:29:28.000 They're calling her out, so it's going to be maybe like some live fact checking, like we did this morning, like we did yesterday.

00:29:33.000 Maybe Berks, who's very fetching, by the way, missed something.

00:29:37.000 Or misspoke.

00:29:39.000 So that's the title.

00:29:40.000 Keep in mind, too, this was the article.

00:29:43.000 This was the headline.

00:29:44.000 That's the title.

00:29:45.000 It was approved by Apple News, because I saw it in my Apple News feed.

00:29:49.000 And then, at first, before we run it, I clicked the video and I actually stopped it and I

00:29:54.000 scrolled down because I thought maybe this is one of those things where it's like a video

00:29:58.000 ad.

00:29:59.000 It's clearly not what I'm supposed to be seeing.

00:30:00.000 Sure.

00:30:01.000 Like there must be something else.

00:30:02.000 This can't be it.

00:30:03.000 But this is legitimate news titled, Borger Calls Out Dr.

00:30:07.000 Birx, right after the press conference approved by Apple News.

00:30:11.000 This is the entirety of content from Real News.

00:30:14.000 How do you safely have hair salons and nail salons and tattoo parlors where you can get

00:30:19.000 people to inherently be close together?

00:30:25.000 I think what I've been trying to communicate over the last several days is it's really important that the governors and mayors communicate critical information to their communities and show very clearly the data.

00:30:37.000 Remember we wanted this data and evidence-based, the data that they utilize to make decisions and the data that the mayor should use in each of the communities.

00:30:47.000 Because it won't have to be on a community-by-community opening.

00:30:51.000 Because there are different communities in different places even in Georgia And so I believe people in Atlanta would understand that if their cases are not going down That they need to continue to do everything that we said, social distancing, washing your hands, wearing a mask in public.

00:31:11.000 So if there's a way that people can social distance and do those things, then they can do those things.

00:31:18.000 I don't know how, but people are very creative.

00:31:21.000 So I'm not going to prejudge, but we have told people very clearly, and the President guidelines made it very clear.

00:31:29.000 About the expectations of Phase 1.

00:31:31.000 And remember, Phase 1 also included social distancing in restaurants, social distancing in every place that was entertainment, and keeping your own individual social groups to less than 10.

00:31:43.000 I mean, we've been very clear in the guidelines, and I think it's up to the governors and mayors to ensure that they're following the best they can each of those phases.

00:31:53.000 Again, CNN headline, front page, top story, original content.

00:31:56.000 headline, front page, top story, original content.

00:32:00.000 This is it, waiting for Borger.

00:32:01.000 ...for decision making and make that transparent and available to their community.

00:32:06.000 And again, it's this kind of a mixed message.

00:32:09.000 Don't worry.

00:32:10.000 Don't pay attention to the guidelines that we have offered you from the administration.

00:32:17.000 I understand the need to kind of be correct here and not be, you know, attack people, etc.

00:32:26.000 But I think when people are looking for straight answers from the medical community, She was trying to be creative, right?

00:32:36.000 And I think that an answer would have been, look, if I were the governor of that state, I'm not so sure I would do this.

00:32:45.000 Look at their, look at their, look at their curve.

00:32:49.000 Let's see where their curve is.

00:32:50.000 Did we just accidentally hit rewind three times?

00:32:55.000 And she shied away from doing that.

00:32:58.000 And the president indicated that he's going to talk to the Georgia governor about the opening of beauty salons, etc.

00:33:05.000 But I think in this circumstance, and maybe I'm wrong, Sanjay, maybe, you know, maybe there is a need to kind of waffle a little bit on this, but I thought that in a way, Yes, Sanjay, yes.

00:33:19.000 He's too busy smelling farts.

00:33:20.000 We didn't put these guidelines out there for nothing.

00:33:23.000 We spent a lot of time on this.

00:33:25.000 We're trying to help you save lives in your communities.

00:33:30.000 That is the entirety of Borger calling out Dr. Brooks.

00:33:33.000 Which, by the way, hey, how is that not anti-science?

00:33:35.000 When people say, I want to defer to the experts.

00:33:38.000 Borger?

00:33:39.000 Borger's supposed to be the expert here?

00:33:40.000 We had, I think, two and a half minutes of just running a clip from the press conference, and then Borger, repeating herself, saying nothing.

00:33:48.000 Well, this is not what I like!

00:33:51.000 Yeah, so in the clip, Dr. Burke said, we want people to follow the guidelines we've set aside.

00:33:56.000 And she said, well, if she's just going to say, don't pay attention to our guidelines, It's the opposite of what she just said.

00:34:03.000 It's the exact opposite.

00:34:04.000 That's why we ran the whole briefing.

00:34:06.000 Because she was talking about the Phase 4 as well, which is a new component to the guidelines.

00:34:09.000 But I want to be clear, because on YouTube, when we've done the Oscars stream, where we frankly have games, we have guests, we have people in fish costumes, and cocktail hours, clearly transformative.

00:34:20.000 We get dinged and taken down.

00:34:21.000 CNN runs basically a clip from the White House with 30 seconds of, let's find something to say.

00:34:28.000 There's no one here super intelligent to say it.

00:34:30.000 I don't know.

00:34:31.000 Let's toss on Wolf slash Sanjay. 0.97

00:34:34.000 That's your clip.

00:34:35.000 It doesn't even look like a Sanjay.

00:34:37.000 And Borger, so guess what? 0.99

00:34:38.000 What you just said is bullshit, and right now we just did the exact same job that you did, only a little more thorough. 0.93

00:34:45.000 Let's see if this gets taken down from YouTube. 0.99

00:34:47.000 Let's clip that for Crowder Vids and see, because we're just as good as CNN.

00:34:50.000 It's important that there are legitimate news outlets out there willing to call out non-expert Borger.

00:34:57.000 Well, and she even laid out a case where she said, look, if you can come up with a creative way to do this and to do it appropriately, I think you should be able to.

00:35:04.000 And then Borger comes on and says, oh my gosh, if I was the person doing it, well, you're not.

00:35:09.000 And there's a reason that you're not that person. 0.99

00:35:10.000 You're an uncreative wench. 1.00

00:35:11.000 That's why. 0.97

00:35:12.000 You weren't sanitizing masks so they're reusable.

00:35:14.000 You mocked Donald Trump mercilessly, as well as the private sector, saying, there's no possible way to disinfect, to sanitize masks.

00:35:22.000 And now, 800,000 a day.

00:35:23.000 You're not creative.

00:35:24.000 You're a political hack.

00:35:26.000 You're somebody who's put in a quadrant view.

00:35:27.000 And by the way, you're in the same room.

00:35:29.000 You just want to make it seem a little more international.

00:35:33.000 Nothing to offer.

00:35:34.000 And so you just say, well, she said this, but I don't like that she said this.

00:35:37.000 Ooh, yeah.

00:35:38.000 We really need you legacy media.

00:35:40.000 Right.

00:35:40.000 And that was really the only thing that they could pull from yesterday's conference.

00:35:43.000 Because when we talked about it, the press briefing was very cordial for the most part.

00:35:47.000 Donald Trump answered the questions very well.

00:35:49.000 He didn't pick a lot of fights, anything like that.

00:35:51.000 There weren't really any fireworks.

00:35:52.000 And we were like, what are they going to pick for tomorrow?

00:35:54.000 Because they're going to have to pick something.

00:35:55.000 Right.

00:35:56.000 To say, oh, I can't believe Donald Trump said that.

00:35:57.000 Yeah, and that's been the one that they picked, where she said creative.

00:35:59.000 She's like, I don't know exactly what they're going to do.

00:36:01.000 Some people get creative.

00:36:01.000 Right.

00:36:02.000 That was a nice sort of little toss-in.

00:36:04.000 Like, some people get creative.

00:36:05.000 I've seen people wearing, you know, like, masks that look like bumblebees, you know?

00:36:10.000 Well, yeah, so, and again, people on the right, I don't know Dr. Birx's political persuasion, but people on the right believe in American ingenuity, but they believe in personal creativity, and not that they need to be managed from the heights of power.

00:36:22.000 Right.

00:36:23.000 So the right has an entirely different foundation for the worldview.

00:36:27.000 And the argument from authority, you know, the logical fallacy is one they use at CNN a lot.

00:36:27.000 Exactly.

00:36:31.000 And I think in this case, though, in Borger's defense, she doesn't want to defer to the medical expert, a doctor, because she doesn't know what it is.

00:36:38.000 She thinks she's talking to one.

00:36:41.000 Right Sanjay?

00:36:42.000 Wolf Blitzer.

00:36:44.000 Wolf, lowest score ever on Celebrity Jeopardy Blitzer.

00:36:49.000 Which means one of two things, by the way.

00:36:51.000 Either A, she's colorblind, which, good for you, progress. 1.00

00:36:55.000 Or, CNN cannot be bothered with the budget of making sure that their co-host has an operating Skype.

00:37:03.000 Or audio, because I'm sure that they don't sound the same either.

00:37:07.000 Again, it has that ringing in their audio, like in Saving Private Ryan when Tom Hanks is looking around and the kid's carrying his army, has that tinnitus.

00:37:16.000 That's the best you have to offer.

00:37:18.000 Maybe that's what distracted her from... It's easy! 0.79

00:37:21.000 It's that 24-7 on CNN.

00:37:23.000 It is easy to mix up Sanjay Gupta with the whitest person who's ever lived. 0.99

00:37:29.000 Yes.

00:37:30.000 And a person who is a doctor from Wolf, lowest score ever on Celebrity Big Brother.

00:37:35.000 She confused Sanjay Gupta, Dr. Sanjay Gupta.

00:37:37.000 I mean, first off, the name, let alone the look.

00:37:39.000 That would be like confusing Larry Bird with Barack Obama's half-brother.

00:37:44.000 Well, she got a little, like, spicy, too, when she did it.

00:37:44.000 Yes.

00:37:47.000 Right, Sanjay?

00:37:48.000 You know, she started to get a little... Right, Sanjay.

00:37:50.000 And she was expecting a shout-out, like, yes!

00:37:52.000 But instead, Wolf was like...

00:37:54.000 That's not me.

00:37:58.000 What do I do here?

00:37:59.000 What do you think would happen in a fight between Wolf Blitzer and Joe Biden?

00:37:59.000 Yeah.

00:38:02.000 He's going down.

00:38:03.000 Oh my gosh.

00:38:04.000 Both of them.

00:38:05.000 You keep telling me that Joe Biden could actually hold it.

00:38:07.000 I think they would just both forget to get off the stool and they would think that they had it.

00:38:11.000 Huh?

00:38:11.000 What?

00:38:12.000 Yeah.

00:38:13.000 Yeah, you know what we should just do is we should tell them that they're going to fight but actually just place them on a treadmill and they'll be like, Ha!

00:38:18.000 He's got great footwork!

00:38:21.000 A treadmill in front of a mirror.

00:38:23.000 He can punch moving backwards!

00:38:25.000 It's a miracle!

00:38:27.000 Oh boy!

00:38:30.000 He's a regular Ernie Shavers!

00:38:34.000 You know what, actually?

00:38:35.000 Before we move on, we're going to be talking about the death rates.

00:38:38.000 I'll need to actually fix some statements that I made yesterday.

00:38:40.000 But before that, actually, we know that a lot of you... And let us know when we have some chats that are given.

00:38:45.000 Chat with us, of course, at BlazeTV Live.

00:38:47.000 Let us know what you'd like to see.

00:38:48.000 Let us know if you want us, by the way, to continue Good Morning Mug Club.

00:38:50.000 We can't do two shows a day every day.

00:38:52.000 But after this break, we'll be looking at what it is you guys like.

00:38:55.000 We've thought about maybe doing two late nights per week, two good morning mug clubs, maybe splitting them up.

00:39:00.000 Some people kind of like both.

00:39:00.000 That'd be cool.

00:39:02.000 You know, you might go through withdrawals.

00:39:03.000 But the point is, always more content if you join mug club.

00:39:06.000 But I know a lot of you like some people here who work in the office.

00:39:09.000 And so we'd really do, none of this happens without this wonderful team of people.

00:39:13.000 Right.

00:39:14.000 And I want to say this because I give people flack a lot.

00:39:17.000 I really don't, actually.

00:39:19.000 I'm more apologetic than really the flack kind of boss.

00:39:21.000 Wade was the flack, give or take.

00:39:23.000 I'm sorry, Wade.

00:39:24.000 I was in your way.

00:39:26.000 We're just walking past each other.

00:39:29.000 And Wade says, don't ever let it happen again.

00:39:33.000 That's the second time this week.

00:39:34.000 I'll accept it once.

00:39:38.000 But I will say this, I know we're not all in this together.

00:39:41.000 We really aren't.

00:39:42.000 And largely because I think people here, I think we all probably had coronavirus in January.

00:39:46.000 And let me explain to you why.

00:39:48.000 Gibbon here.

00:39:51.000 We lovingly refer to him as Gerbils.

00:39:52.000 I don't know why.

00:39:54.000 How can that be lovingly?

00:39:57.000 Oh wait, hold on a second.

00:39:58.000 UN warns pandemic will cause famines of biblical proportions.

00:40:03.000 What?

00:40:04.000 Have you read the Bible?

00:40:06.000 And no report on the death rates.

00:40:08.000 No report on the New England of Medicine Journal.

00:40:10.000 We're going to get to in a second.

00:40:11.000 Where they had pregnant ladies and they looked at the actual antibody rate.

00:40:14.000 No reporting of the 70% reduced death rate in Florida.

00:40:18.000 And by the way, they're not citing somebody here.

00:40:21.000 They're just saying someone in Britain.

00:40:22.000 It could be just someone.

00:40:23.000 In Britain being like, yeah, well, you know, I think that actually if you open up the economy, yeah, you can have, you can have, like, an epic problem.

00:40:34.000 No food.

00:40:35.000 What's the word?

00:40:36.000 What's better?

00:40:36.000 Well, there you have it.

00:40:37.000 Rebel Wilson has sounded off.

00:40:39.000 I'll be biblical.

00:40:40.000 Biblical proportions.

00:40:41.000 That sounds more terrifying.

00:40:43.000 Oh my gosh.

00:40:43.000 It's not what they choose to cover, it's what they choose not to cover.

00:40:45.000 Exactly.

00:40:46.000 So we're not all in this together.

00:40:48.000 I think we did have coronavirus.

00:40:49.000 Let me explain to you why.

00:40:50.000 Because given Gerbil's habits, we think, so did Bryce, who works out there.

00:40:55.000 Maddie almost died.

00:40:55.000 Too cute.

00:40:56.000 She was almost dead.

00:40:59.000 Because she went to Disney World.

00:41:00.000 Why would you ever?

00:41:02.000 Don't go to Disney World.

00:41:02.000 Why would you ever?

00:41:03.000 First off, I advise her against going to Disney World because she's little, and even if she doesn't wade into the crocodile pit, which seems very imprudent to have a Disney World, by the way, a crocodile pit.

00:41:11.000 Yeah, very dangerous.

00:41:12.000 They could just come up and gobble her up. 0.97

00:41:13.000 It's in Florida.

00:41:14.000 I was like, do not go to Disney World.

00:41:16.000 And she came back with, I was making jokes.

00:41:16.000 Bad idea.

00:41:18.000 When she came back, I'm like, what did you get, SARS?

00:41:20.000 Like, ha ha ha.

00:41:21.000 This is before coronavirus.

00:41:22.000 I was still making the note!

00:41:23.000 I was still making SARS jokes!

00:41:25.000 And you took it from me!

00:41:27.000 You took the SARS jokes from me!

00:41:29.000 Now what do I have left?

00:41:30.000 Jokes about Wolf Blitzer and The Mighty?

00:41:35.000 So we think they had it.

00:41:35.000 We don't want the mighty.

00:41:37.000 That doesn't mean everyone else has it, until you consider that Gibbon, along with Manny, Brendan, myself, and my father, do jujitsu three times a week.

00:41:48.000 Very difficult to do social distancing when someone's gi is being wrung out into your mouth like the embalmment fluid in that, what was that horror film from Sam Raimi?

00:41:48.000 Very close.

00:41:59.000 Drag Me to Hell. 0.99

00:42:00.000 Damn it, that would have been so much better if I knew the film name. 1.00

00:42:03.000 You can do it later. 0.99

00:42:04.000 So that being said, I think we all had it, but I am incredibly grateful.

00:42:07.000 Of all the things that I'm grateful for, I swear to you, honestly, every morning when I pray, I hit my knees and thank God for my wife, for the ability to make a living, the fact that you guys give me the ability and all of us to make a living, the team of people who surround me, and Quick Trip.

00:42:20.000 I also thank God for Quick Trip.

00:42:21.000 Every time.

00:42:21.000 Wow.

00:42:22.000 You make it into the morning prayer?

00:42:23.000 And then I make a deal with the devil if he'll get rid of 7-Elevens. 1.00

00:42:27.000 And Ray Strada.

00:42:28.000 And Crossroads.

00:42:29.000 The problem is I don't play a mean banjo.

00:42:32.000 And so the devil doesn't show up to make a deal.

00:42:34.000 I didn't know the rules.

00:42:35.000 Right, right, right.

00:42:36.000 You gotta hedge a little bit.

00:42:37.000 He just felt perturbed.

00:42:39.000 I was more of an inconvenience to the Prince of Darkness, really.

00:42:43.000 Beelzebub is a little bit more amenable to it.

00:42:45.000 Beelzebub will listen if I go down and I'm like, you know what, I can play the pan flute.

00:42:50.000 I'll see what I can do.

00:42:51.000 Maybe I can get 7-Eleven to run a damp cloth over the bathrooms so they don't look like a Turkish prison, but I don't know. 1.00

00:43:00.000 I'll have to run it up the flagpole with Satan, and I gotta tell ya, Satan's a big fan of 7-Eleven.

00:43:06.000 We've worked long and hard on those bathrooms.

00:43:08.000 My hooves are tied.

00:43:09.000 I wanna see Satan in the CEO's chair like, make the bathrooms dirtier. 1.00

00:43:20.000 Put hooker's names on the walls. 0.99

00:43:24.000 Numbers one digit short. 0.68

00:43:27.000 Blitzer was here.

00:43:29.000 In every bathroom across America.

00:43:31.000 But I want a picture of Sanjay Gupta.

00:43:35.000 Then people will say, what's that Wolf Blitzer?

00:43:37.000 And I'll walk in and say, what did I tell you?

00:43:39.000 Even though I never spoke with them.

00:43:40.000 And they'll say, what was he telling me?

00:43:41.000 And they're very confused.

00:43:44.000 But that being said, there's a whole team of people who make this happen here, and that's why you joining Mug Club makes a big difference.

00:43:48.000 Yes, thank you.

00:43:48.000 And I want to kind of show you what it is that people do, show you how the sausage is made.

00:43:52.000 And so we've done this before, but it's time for People at Work.

00:43:55.000 Let's go check it out.

00:43:56.000 Wow, did we?

00:44:04.000 Is that a copyrighted song?

00:44:06.000 Is that a copyrighted song?

00:44:06.000 Right?

00:44:07.000 Royalty free.

00:44:08.000 Royalty free version.

00:44:09.000 Yeah, we gotcha!

00:44:10.000 Yeah, we got you.

00:44:11.000 Is your red light there smooth, Manny?

00:44:12.000 We got you.

00:44:13.000 I didn't get to let everyone know about what you said about old people yesterday.

00:44:14.000 Oh, look, look, I'm on a monitor.

00:44:15.000 Okay, come on, let's go here and see the people who are here or too cute Maddie is looking 0.98

00:44:19.000 away because she feels self-conscious.

00:44:21.000 This is Bryce and he has a prop mug.

00:44:25.000 Where's your mask?

00:44:26.000 Uh, it's right there.

00:44:27.000 Put on the mask.

00:44:28.000 There's an old one there.

00:44:29.000 Yeah, well, let's get rid of the old mask and put on the- I'm sorry about this, this is embarrassing.

00:44:32.000 I'm sorry about that.

00:44:33.000 Put on the mask and- Brendan?

00:44:42.000 Oh my gosh.

00:44:47.000 Oh my gosh.

00:44:48.000 I mean, I thought he did that in the alley, and that's a much safer place.

00:44:51.000 No, I see him do that all the time.

00:44:52.000 I didn't check the mic pack before we went out there.

00:44:56.000 That's a shame, really.

00:44:57.000 Expect a call from the fire marshal.

00:44:59.000 Yeah.

00:45:00.000 And the DEA.

00:45:01.000 You know what?

00:45:02.000 Here's the thing.

00:45:03.000 We're not FCC compliant, so we do have a beer fridge here.

00:45:06.000 Oh, good.

00:45:07.000 Whatever makes people more productive, I'm fine with.

00:45:09.000 I don't know.

00:45:09.000 It's the fire hazard.

00:45:11.000 Does crack make people more productive, generally?

00:45:14.000 Brendan just wrote an entire season of... Gosh, Aaron's working.

00:45:19.000 I lost it.

00:45:21.000 I lost it.

00:45:22.000 I had it.

00:45:22.000 I was going into it.

00:45:23.000 Are you on crack?

00:45:24.000 I am on crack. 0.99

00:45:26.000 You are so much worse than Bill and that is saying something because Bill is terrible. 0.83

00:45:30.000 You're gonna take that? 0.99

00:45:31.000 Get him a shot out of your way. 0.99

00:45:32.000 Get him a shot. 0.95

00:45:33.000 I like how you say it when he's not here. 1.00

00:45:34.000 Insult his wife. 0.98

00:45:36.000 Insult his wife. 0.97

00:45:37.000 She's out of his league. 0.88

00:45:38.000 I love her.

00:45:39.000 I'm sure she has a romantic history before him.

00:45:41.000 Let him know.

00:45:43.000 She's a nice lady. 1.00

00:45:44.000 Come on.

00:45:44.000 I don't know.

00:45:45.000 I don't know.

00:45:49.000 I love how normally he just throws these jabs out for fun, and now that we've put him on the spot he's like, but I'm a nice guy!

00:45:58.000 Smooth Manny was operating the camera there.

00:46:02.000 He's from Columbia, and I just assume there's some kind of a cultural gap.

00:46:07.000 I was talking about Dr. Birx and I went home and I was like, I need to get some water.

00:46:10.000 Yeah, Dr. Birx, we were talking about her last night.

00:46:12.000 She's a lovely lady. 0.99

00:46:12.000 The foxy lady, as you said. 0.99

00:46:14.000 Dr. Birx is, I've used the term fetching.

00:46:15.000 And by the way, when people talk about rape culture, guarantee you show the highlight reel from yesterday to Dr. Birx, she would be flattered.

00:46:21.000 We said she's very fetching, said she's an attractive older lady, she puts herself together well, she's articulate. 0.95

00:46:25.000 The worst thing, what did you say Donald Trump?

00:46:28.000 Oh, I just, yeah, like, oh, calculating, uh, ten.

00:46:31.000 That's what I said.

00:46:31.000 Ten.

00:46:32.000 Dr. Brooks, bring that fat ass over here. 1.00

00:46:35.000 That's the worst. 1.00

00:46:35.000 I guarantee you, Dr. Brooks would not be offended. 1.00

00:46:38.000 She'd probably be like, oh, I do declare!

00:46:40.000 Because she starts speaking like, you know, 1800s.

00:46:41.000 Southern Belle or something?

00:46:43.000 Yeah, like, what's going on here?

00:46:44.000 1800s, yeah.

00:46:45.000 But she has to, she really has to make the 310 to you.

00:46:48.000 So, it is just another, just another thing that bothers me, this idea of rape culture,

00:46:48.000 Oh my.

00:46:53.000 when you compliment women, even if you compliment women overtly, in a way that borders on inappropriate.

00:46:57.000 It's funny, it's okay.

00:46:58.000 Sometimes it's complimentary.

00:46:59.000 Sometimes, yeah, and sometimes.

00:47:00.000 So anyway, I brought it up with Smooth Manny.

00:47:01.000 He came by the house because we, we, his, he has a child and they don't, we have a super

00:47:07.000 freezer, super-sized freezer and they have a lot of breast milk.

00:47:10.000 You know, it's the thing that women freeze their breast milk. 1.00

00:47:13.000 And I never know how to approach it when he's like, hey, can I come by and get some titty milk?

00:47:18.000 And I say this completely respectfully, by the way.

00:47:22.000 And let me just say something, too, while I'm talking about this.

00:47:25.000 You know when women get pregnant? 1.00

00:47:28.000 Right.

00:47:29.000 I have a pregnant wife. 0.77

00:47:30.000 And my wife hit me with a trick question about Smooth Manny's wife. 1.00

00:47:33.000 She goes, oh my gosh, didn't you notice how big Val's boobs are? 1.00

00:47:38.000 My wife said to this to me now. 0.95

00:47:41.000 My primary concern was just how much of a tell is there on my face that I'm lying?

00:47:49.000 You gotta give him one of these like, Well, no, I don't know.

00:47:54.000 Actually, I think I went too far and I said, I'm not a, I'm not a boob guy.

00:47:57.000 I don't notice those things.

00:47:58.000 Yeah, you thought too long.

00:48:00.000 Yes.

00:48:02.000 And I thought poorly.

00:48:03.000 Matter of fact, there was one with my sister-in-law.

00:48:07.000 She was pregnant.

00:48:08.000 And the thing is, when a woman is smaller, as Manny's wife is, and then my sister-in-law is very tall and slim, like my wife, and her chesticles were very large. 0.99

00:48:16.000 That's the worst term.

00:48:17.000 They really appreciate it when they call me that.

00:48:19.000 I appreciate it when you call me that.

00:48:20.000 At the rehearsal dinner night, or sorry, the bachelor night, and then we also met, what

00:48:24.000 was, I guess they both happened on the same night.

00:48:26.000 We were at an arcade that night, and there was a picture of my brother with my sister-in-law,

00:48:30.000 and what happened was she happened to jump in the picture.

00:48:34.000 And so, by the way, she was wearing a long-sleeved t-shirt.

00:48:37.000 There was nothing at all in it.

00:48:39.000 The first thing you saw were the, and my brother.

00:48:42.000 My brother untagged himself in the picture.

00:48:44.000 Did he really?

00:48:45.000 He untagged himself simply based on the fact that there were large breasts in the picture. 0.51

00:48:51.000 Really?

00:48:53.000 I'm a bit surprised by that.

00:48:54.000 I'm not.

00:48:56.000 They were fully covered.

00:48:57.000 I mean, come on.

00:48:59.000 What is this?

00:49:00.000 Detroit bus driver dies from COVID 19 days after emotional plea?

00:49:03.000 Just all around.

00:49:06.000 It's Diamond and Mr. Diamond.

00:49:09.000 I was going to say, she's going to say, HELLO POSSUM! 1.00

00:49:13.000 That's a Black Day Madness in case you guys didn't know. 0.98

00:49:17.000 Listen, it's sad, obviously, of a bus trip, but you know what else is sad?

00:49:20.000 A black man being dragged off a bus and being roughed up by police officers because he didn't put on a mask.

00:49:25.000 Well, but so this is, this story is obviously designed to pull at your heartstrings.

00:49:28.000 Of course it's sad.

00:49:29.000 Of course, having an emotional plea 1984.

00:49:30.000 What happened to data?

00:49:32.000 Exactly.

00:49:33.000 Did this person have pre-existing conditions?

00:49:34.000 Were they sick before this?

00:49:36.000 Was there something else going on?

00:49:37.000 He's got diabetes.

00:49:38.000 Would this person have died if they had contracted the average strain of influenza?

00:49:42.000 All of that information is useful for us.

00:49:44.000 Otherwise, we think, oh my gosh, heartless people.

00:49:46.000 Heartless.

00:49:47.000 By the way, do we have some chat to get to there, Gerbils?

00:49:47.000 Terrible world.

00:49:50.000 Yeah, we got a few.

00:49:51.000 Okay, let me read a couple of chats and then I have a final story about the death rates and correcting myself.

00:49:55.000 Definitely.

00:49:56.000 So first up we got Prince Spencer.

00:49:58.000 Stephen, do you agree with the decision to shut down the entire country?

00:50:01.000 Do you think that a year from now, or two, Trump or any other leader is going to be like, I made the right choice?

00:50:06.000 I will tell you the miracle of this coming through.

00:50:09.000 This is coming through blaze chat, which means this person is a Mug Club member and has clearly never watched the show.

00:50:13.000 I was about to say, do you watch this show?

00:50:15.000 Maybe he's looking for a bit more information.

00:50:18.000 I don't have any more beyond the three hours of show.

00:50:21.000 We have another chat.

00:50:22.000 Is YouTube good?

00:50:24.000 Yes.

00:50:26.000 Oh boy.

00:50:27.000 I heard Don Rickles, you should go and live in Schenectady with a washing machine!

00:50:32.000 Ha! 0.89

00:50:32.000 He says ha! 0.89

00:50:35.000 You do dope, dummy! 0.98

00:50:37.000 No, I'm just, listen, I don't think it was good to shut down the entire country, if that's the question. 0.99

00:50:41.000 I obviously don't.

00:50:43.000 And some people have made the argument that with the information that they had that it was a good idea at the time, and I don't know that that's even true.

00:50:48.000 I think at the time, social distancing and precautions, washing your hands, I think at the time what would have been more prudent is telling everyone to wear a mask at that point as well, but they were more concerned about people in medical fields having them.

00:51:00.000 I think that once the media realizes that people are a little fed up with sitting at home for a long time, I think that they'll start saying that Trump overreacted.

00:51:08.000 It'll be a really easy pivot to just go the populist route.

00:51:12.000 No, the pivot that they're doing now, I saw Huffington Post yesterday, their homepage was how COVID affects the body long-term and COVID is just a warm-up for what's coming next.

00:51:19.000 So they're pivoting from this is the worst to you ain't seen nothing yet.

00:51:23.000 Like it's a Danny Glover sequel. 1.00

00:51:26.000 I'm getting too old for this shit. 0.99

00:51:30.000 And meanwhile, they're using every case or some sad case of somebody dying to illustrate or to make this sort of flurry of fear. 0.99

00:51:39.000 Rather than it being data-driven, rather than it being objective, it's, look at this story!

00:51:43.000 And yes, listen, there's a sad story.

00:51:45.000 You can also find sad stories of people who die from the flu every year.

00:51:48.000 You can find sad stories of people who die from pneumonia.

00:51:50.000 Those sad stories exist all over the place, in car accidents, because they're going to work every single day.

00:51:54.000 We're not minimizing any of that, but this is not a sustainable response.

00:51:58.000 This cannot be how we respond.

00:52:00.000 Even if there is a 2% death rate, which there is absolutely not, and we'll get into that, but even if there were, that's not how we can respond and have a functioning society long-term to situations like this.

00:52:10.000 It's just a bad idea.

00:52:10.000 And keep in mind, they did say that they hoped we had a recession so that they could lay it at Donald Trump's feet.

00:52:14.000 But Marcy, those exact words, and they basically highlighted that.

00:52:17.000 It's like, it's worth it.

00:52:18.000 I take that.

00:52:19.000 Give me another chat there, Gibbon, and then we'll close this thing out.

00:52:22.000 Dylan is wondering, why is the mainstream media so adamant about keeping the American people locked up in their homes for as long as possible?

00:52:28.000 Because Donald Trump created the best economy that we've seen in the modern American era.

00:52:32.000 They had a vested interest in it being crippled.

00:52:34.000 They said as much, and they want to keep it that way going into election.

00:52:40.000 It's the opposite position of Donald Trump.

00:52:42.000 Whatever that position is, they tend to take.

00:52:44.000 Donald Trump, I really think you should continue with that term yesterday, the full employment.

00:52:48.000 Because it's not just a low unemployment, it's a high labor force participation rate, it's a job surplus, it's more people in the workforce.

00:52:55.000 We were at full employment with more raises to the annual salary.

00:52:59.000 And we've talked about this before too, sometimes people just, they talk about income and they say, well it's not even outpacing inflation.

00:53:05.000 And what they're referring to is average hourly earnings as opposed to average individual income, which is more appropriate.

00:53:10.000 And that's always, actually, even under Barack Obama, even under Clinton, that's always outpaced inflation by a significant margin.

00:53:16.000 But for the first time, now you have average hourly, well you did, average hourly earnings outpacing inflation.

00:53:22.000 I think average hourly earnings were 5%, which I don't even know how you do that, because as far as I'm concerned, slapping together a fillet of fish today is worth just as much as it was 10 years ago, is worth just as much as it was in 1972.

00:53:33.000 But somehow that has gone up, even in the age of automation.

00:53:37.000 So we had an economy that wasn't just the stock market, by the way.

00:53:40.000 It wasn't just the Dow Jones, as people wanted to say.

00:53:42.000 But we had an economy that undeniably was helping everybody in Main Street America. 1.00

00:53:47.000 And at this point, if it's the economy stupid, they want it to be the coronavirus stupid. 1.00

00:53:52.000 Yes. 1.00

00:53:52.000 And the response? 1.00

00:53:53.000 And they want you to remember it.

00:53:54.000 And here's the thing.

00:53:56.000 So do I. I want you to remember this.

00:53:59.000 I don't only want you to remember this in November.

00:54:00.000 I want you to remember this at the 4th of July.

00:54:03.000 I want you to look back and say, gosh, remember when Sanjay Gupta slash Wolf Blitzer, I can't tell them apart, said that we're not going to be able to have the 4th of July?

00:54:11.000 I want you to remember this.

00:54:13.000 This was the play.

00:54:16.000 We weren't Donald Trump guys in the primary?

00:54:17.000 No.

00:54:17.000 I don't think he's been a perfect president.

00:54:20.000 But in areas like this, he has handled it superbly.

00:54:23.000 And certainly before this, he did more for the economy than any modern president, I think, has.

00:54:27.000 Any modern president.

00:54:27.000 Definitely.

00:54:28.000 I would say more than Ronald Reagan.

00:54:29.000 I think they thought that this was going to destroy Trump.

00:54:33.000 He's not going to be able to handle it.

00:54:34.000 What it's done is brought the presidential like out of him.

00:54:37.000 It's made him look better.

00:54:40.000 It makes the American people go, oh, he can handle crisis.

00:54:42.000 And the evening briefings, very, very clever on his part because it was basically a dare and they decided to not run it.

00:54:48.000 And people now, like you said, people are stuck at home.

00:54:51.000 Guess what?

00:54:51.000 People are stuck at home and they'll watch anything but CNN.

00:54:54.000 It's kind of like when you have a magnet.

00:54:56.000 yeah yeah two of the same was it too positively charged yeah you can't get it

00:55:01.000 that's what people do at home if it's seen and they'll find anything else

00:55:04.000 dog whisperer something the Westminster cat show I animal genres for some of my

00:55:10.000 head anything but CNN and so they stumble across the press briefing and go

00:55:13.000 oh yeah well and I think too what we're gonna see is that and wait you and I

00:55:18.000 were talking about this before the show I think we we danced a lot closer to

00:55:22.000 potentially losing democracy and losing freedom and liberty than we think we did

00:55:26.000 In many ways we have.

00:55:27.000 Yeah well and it's not and what we're saying it's not the guy in power at the time typically that's the problem right when you do when you make you know like all these concessions with liberty you're like Oh no, this person won't take advantage of it.

00:55:36.000 It's the next guy or the guy after that.

00:55:38.000 I was just going to say, anybody who is saying you have to celebrate Independence Day from your home sitting around not talking to anybody, mark them.

00:55:51.000 Poppy Harlow and Jim Prosciutto were just talking about Fourth of July.

00:55:56.000 Yes, I really hope that they let us leave our homes for Independence Day.

00:56:01.000 That's scary.

00:56:03.000 And these are people, by the way, and keep in mind as well, they want you to stay home and they want you to be dependent on the government.

00:56:09.000 They want you to stay home, not be able to work, so that they can implement permanent income.

00:56:15.000 Permanent annual, what's the term again for the annual income?

00:56:18.000 Universal basic income.

00:56:19.000 They want that to be permanent.

00:56:20.000 So Independence Day, they want you to stay home and be entirely dependent on daddy.

00:56:26.000 Be entirely dependent on big brother.

00:56:27.000 Which, you know, is remarkable because you would think they wouldn't want people dependent on the federal government with President Donald Trump.

00:56:34.000 Because he puts his name on the checks.

00:56:36.000 Overall, they're thinking this is going to be short-lived, which I think you might be surprised.

00:56:41.000 And they want ultimately the American people to be dependent on the government.

00:56:43.000 They want to be able to control the American people ultimately. 0.85

00:56:45.000 And I will tell you this, this has made me leery of my neighbor in a lot of ways.

00:56:50.000 And I don't mean my actual neighbor.

00:56:52.000 My neighbor's a really nice guy.

00:56:53.000 Stop going through my mail.

00:56:54.000 I get it that you're 85, but it's a federal offense.

00:56:57.000 It really is.

00:56:58.000 Sir.

00:56:59.000 So, uh... Jerry.

00:57:01.000 Actually, he's done that.

00:57:01.000 I come home from a trip, he's like, I noticed you weren't home.

00:57:03.000 I took your mail.

00:57:04.000 I'm like, don't do that.

00:57:05.000 I took the Liberty ticket.

00:57:06.000 I need that Fredericks of Hollywood catalog.

00:57:11.000 So, um, don't get me started on this year's wish list.

00:57:13.000 I hope to see Dr. Birx.

00:57:16.000 What was I saying before this?

00:57:17.000 Oh, yeah.

00:57:18.000 My neighbor meets a bunch of people who are saying, hey, I want to report this guy for not social distancing, kissing his wife, or, hey, these people are putting my life at danger.

00:57:26.000 First off, if someone goes out to a park, they're not putting your life in danger.

00:57:30.000 Put on a mask and wash your hands. 0.99

00:57:32.000 And shut up. 1.00

00:57:33.000 I'm sorry. 1.00

00:57:34.000 Or you can stay home.

00:57:35.000 But you shouldn't require that everybody else stay home, especially when we get to these numbers here regarding the death rates.

00:57:40.000 This is amazing to me because this should be the story today because we now have three different studies looking at antibodies and all of them, by the way, are pretty congruent in what they tell us about the infection rate.

00:57:52.000 That's what's remarkable.

00:57:53.000 Three studies that tell us the infection rate at the lowest is 25 times higher than we thought to 60. The average is

00:58:00.000 about 48. So I do actually need to make sure that right now I fix something that I did

00:58:06.000 yesterday. Speaking about the death rates, I did speak too soon and I do need to issue a

00:58:11.000 correction.

00:58:12.000 But you got snoped!

00:58:17.000 I snoped myself. Thanks Wojcicki. 0.97

00:58:19.000 If you're looking for me to recant my World Health Organization commentary, you'll be

00:58:22.000 sorely disappointed.

00:58:23.000 Well, it's true.

00:58:25.000 Unless Quick Trip wants me to.

00:58:28.000 In which case, I never even heard of Taiwan.

00:58:31.000 Big Quick Trip, huh?

00:58:32.000 They got their hooks in you.

00:58:33.000 Taiwan ain't got nothing on you, Quick Trip.

00:58:35.000 They got their taquitos in you.

00:58:37.000 So I talked about this the other day where I said, you know, the death rate was between 0.5 and 0.02%.

00:58:43.000 I was specifically referring to the USC Los Angeles County study and how that actually sort of correlated with the Santa Clara County study.

00:58:49.000 Well, there's a new one that just came out.

00:58:51.000 This is, they tested pregnant women. 0.66

00:58:54.000 Yeah.

00:58:55.000 for COVID in New York, a whopping 15% tested positive.

00:59:00.000 15% of pregnant women tested positive.

00:59:02.000 So according to this article, that means that the infection rate of the population,

00:59:06.000 I think it's the pregnant population, but overall the population is at minimum 11 to 14 times

00:59:12.000 higher than they previously thought.

00:59:14.000 Than the 200 and something thousand cases they have right now.

00:59:14.000 Wow.

00:59:16.000 Right.

00:59:17.000 So when you take that, and you take the USC study, by the way, where the, I think it was, yeah, that's right, the USC study showed that it was 25 to 58 times more likely, the infection rate.

00:59:27.000 With the antibody study.

00:59:28.000 Not a bastion of republicanism, USC.

00:59:30.000 And then, of course, you have the Santa Clara study that said it was likely 50 to 80 times more likely.

00:59:35.000 Insane.

00:59:36.000 You add it all up, I said the death rate would be between 0.2 and 0.05.

00:59:47.000 In New York, where it said it's worse, this means that right now it's between 0.7, and

00:59:51.000 that's including all deaths, by the way.

00:59:53.000 All deaths.

00:59:54.000 All deaths, including old people, diabetics, people with hypertension.

00:59:57.000 And then if you actually eliminate, according to the New York statistics, because we're

00:59:59.000 data driven, not talking about...

01:00:01.000 Granted, a tragic sob story on CNN.

01:00:04.000 Data does matter.

01:00:05.000 According to New York, they said 95% of cases are either old people or people with comorbidities.

01:00:11.000 Let's scale that back. 0.96

01:00:12.000 Let's just say 90.

01:00:12.000 In Italy, it was 98.

01:00:13.000 In New York, it was 95%.

01:00:15.000 But let's say that 90% of these deaths in New York, somewhere between 19,000 and 20,000, are old people.

01:00:21.000 So you take that number and you times it by 0.1.

01:00:23.000 That gives you the total number.

01:00:25.000 That means that in New York, the death rate is 0.7%.

01:00:29.000 And on the low end for healthy adults, meaning of average age, you could be 40, you could be 50, 0.05%.

01:00:29.000 Tops.

01:00:37.000 Wow.

01:00:38.000 That's a very low number.

01:00:42.000 And as low, by the way, as low as 0.0%.

01:00:44.000 Because yesterday when we were using the number, I was using 80% of cases, only being older people.

01:00:49.000 So if you use the number...

01:00:52.000 It's an override.

01:00:53.000 They're doing it.

01:00:53.000 I get it every time.

01:00:55.000 YouTube overlords.

01:00:56.000 Just keep pushing them.

01:00:57.000 We should have listened.

01:00:58.000 Taiwan going to bat for us.

01:00:59.000 Or a quick trip.

01:01:00.000 Either one.

01:01:01.000 Either one, I will take.

01:01:03.000 Well, and Stephen, one of the things, I swore to you when you asked me yesterday, what do you think they're going to talk about?

01:01:08.000 I was sure that they were going to bring up these studies and say, hey, we probably have a higher infection rate.

01:01:12.000 I've done some more research since then, and some people have said it, but they've said it in a negative way.

01:01:17.000 Every single time they talk about these infection rates being higher, they're not using They're not using that.

01:01:22.000 Right now, on CNN, they're saying, this many people have been infected, this many people have died.

01:01:26.000 They're not using that.

01:01:27.000 They're saying, well, this is worse because it's far more widespread than we thought.

01:01:31.000 Well, that means there's a lower mortality rate.

01:01:34.000 It's less deadly.

01:01:35.000 That's a good thing.

01:01:36.000 So that number going up is the bottom number of the fraction.

01:01:40.000 So as that number goes up, that means a smaller death rate.

01:01:43.000 Mathematics.

01:01:45.000 something else that is pretty important to note is they keep saying, and by the way,

01:01:49.000 deaths that have happened at home, so undoubtedly the overall death rate will go higher. No,

01:01:53.000 no, no, no, no, no, no, because most people aren't dying at home, by the way. Most people

01:01:56.000 are actually dying in hospitals. And then you're adding several thousand more to the

01:01:59.000 total death rate. If you saw in New York City, three thousand people saying we're pretty

01:02:02.000 sure they had COVID. So the death rate, honestly, is probably higher.

01:02:06.000 It's inflated, certainly, and it's obviously certainly higher if you're just talking about the average healthy American, because you're including people like that study with the Chloroquine.

01:02:13.000 They had an average of three pre-existing conditions, and they were all over 65 years old.

01:02:18.000 No, the death rate really should go down when you eliminate, if you just right now eliminate all the deaths registered that were never tested for COVID, boom, you cut that down by I don't know how many thousands, There was over 3,000 in one day.

01:02:29.000 And then you multiply the infection rate by at minimum 20 times, potentially 60 or 80 times, according to Santa Clara, but split it down the middle and say 40 times, you're looking at a death rate very comparable to the flu.

01:02:43.000 Not saying you shouldn't take precautions.

01:02:45.000 It's a far more communicable disease than the flu, but not nearly as deadly as we were led to believe.

01:02:49.000 And I don't believe, I make no apologies, certainly not a reason to shut down the economy and take away everyone's livelihood.

01:02:54.000 Yeah, well, if it's a fraction, again, the top number's going down, the bottom number's going up.

01:02:58.000 That means smaller.

01:03:00.000 Yeah, there's good news.

01:03:02.000 But instead, we have to play a story about a bus driver who died, which is sad, I get it, but there's great news out there, guys.

01:03:07.000 Hey, this probably isn't killing nearly as many people who get this virus as we thought.

01:03:12.000 That should be banner headline news, front page of every newspaper in the country, and it's not being covered at all.

01:03:18.000 And by the way, see this right now?

01:03:19.000 They say, Georgia coronavirus hospitalizations.

01:03:21.000 If we can bring this up, actually, Gibbon, as an overlay.

01:03:23.000 We had this yesterday where they were saying, remember when this initially started, you don't need to bring up, sorry, the CNN, but you can just show it.

01:03:28.000 We don't need to listen to it.

01:03:29.000 They're talking about more hospitalizations in Georgia.

01:03:31.000 Okay.

01:03:32.000 The number that matters is the deaths per capita.

01:03:35.000 That's the number that matters.

01:03:36.000 That's the only one that you can accurately gauge at this point.

01:03:39.000 Hospitalizations are very subjective because some people go to the hospital early, some people go to the hospital late.

01:03:44.000 Now, early on, and we ran this, I think, as a meme with the Then and Now, what did they tell you if you were young, you didn't have pre-existing conditions, and you thought you had COVID symptoms?

01:03:53.000 They said, stay away from the hospital.

01:03:54.000 Don't go in.

01:03:55.000 Don't infect anybody else.

01:03:56.000 And then now, because they have empty hospitals, they've built new hospitals, no one's overfilling them.

01:04:02.000 They're panicking and they have to furlough workers, they have to lay them off.

01:04:04.000 Now they are saying, and this was on CNN I believe yesterday, they're saying people are waiting too long to go to the hospitals.

01:04:10.000 You need to go to the hospitals right away.

01:04:12.000 Well there you go.

01:04:12.000 That right there can affect, if you have that on the media broadcast like a morphine drip.

01:04:17.000 Go to the hospital.

01:04:19.000 Have a cough?

01:04:20.000 Go to the hospital.

01:04:21.000 Runny nose?

01:04:22.000 Right away.

01:04:22.000 Go to the hospital.

01:04:23.000 Take no chances.

01:04:24.000 That will increase hospitalizations.

01:04:26.000 Have the deaths correlated directly with increased hospitalizations?

01:04:29.000 No.

01:04:30.000 No, they haven't.

01:04:31.000 That's what matters.

01:04:32.000 So when they say, look at this, hospitalizations are going up, people are resisting opening up in Georgia.

01:04:37.000 No, more people are going to the hospital because you've told them now that they should go to the hospital.

01:04:40.000 When you told them that they shouldn't, just like people are wearing masks now because you're telling them Yeah.

01:04:44.000 they should wear masks when before you told them that they shouldn't.

01:04:47.000 But that doesn't mean that the death rate per capita is going up in Georgia.

01:04:51.000 It doesn't mean that it's becoming more deadly.

01:04:53.000 It means that more people are making the decision to go to the hospital, likely because they're

01:04:57.000 driving by going, ah, it looks pretty empty.

01:05:00.000 Ah, I'll take a shot at a test.

01:05:02.000 Well, let's remember, we shut down the economy for one reason only, right?

01:05:05.000 It was to make sure that we did not overwhelm the hospital system in the United States.

01:05:09.000 That was it.

01:05:09.000 We had to flatten the curve.

01:05:11.000 Flatten the curve, flatten the curve, flatten the curve, flatten the curve.

01:05:13.000 That's what we got preached and preached and preached, right?

01:05:14.000 Guess what?

01:05:15.000 Guess what?

01:05:15.000 We didn't even come close.

01:05:17.000 Bring this back up, CNN.

01:05:18.000 Look, hospitalization.

01:05:19.000 They're going up.

01:05:20.000 Can someone bring up the deaths in Georgia for me?

01:05:22.000 Can we do that?

01:05:23.000 Bring up the deaths in Georgia.

01:05:24.000 And I want to see if it directly correlates to the hospitalizations.

01:05:27.000 Not if deaths have gone up.

01:05:28.000 They can go up.

01:05:28.000 But do they correlate directly with the hospitalizations?

01:05:31.000 Because that is the number that matters.

01:05:33.000 And the governor is saying we are past the peak.

01:05:36.000 Well, yeah, it just goes to show that no matter what numbers you throw at CNN or CNN puts on, it will always be spun into fear.

01:05:45.000 There is no way of interpreting it in any kind of positive way.

01:05:48.000 You're not allowed to be happy.

01:05:50.000 Right, and context matters for this.

01:05:51.000 Like, a service to the American public would be to say, here are the numbers that the CDC is putting out, which is that, right?

01:05:57.000 So the CDC is not doing anything wrong by saying, here are the numbers.

01:05:59.000 CNN is doing something wrong saying, not doing this next part, saying, here are the numbers and here's what they mean, right?

01:06:05.000 That's what should be being said to the American people to give you an accurate picture, because guess what?

01:06:09.000 The next time if something like this happens and it has a 6, 7, 8 percent mortality rate, People aren't going to believe me.

01:06:17.000 They cried wolf this time, and they had their one shot to be honest with the American public.

01:06:20.000 You're the little boy who cried pandemic.

01:06:24.000 Not you.

01:06:24.000 Them.

01:06:25.000 CNN.

01:06:25.000 That's a good point about them spinning fear.

01:06:27.000 Remember they did this with Halloween razors and the apples?

01:06:31.000 Every few years that comes out, right?

01:06:33.000 Apparently that wasn't actually a real thing.

01:06:35.000 Which, think about it. 0.98

01:06:36.000 If you're crazy enough to put a razor blade in someone's apple, you're the kind of crazy who wants to see the smile on their face. 0.96

01:06:43.000 So why would you do it and you don't even get to see them eat the apple? 0.98

01:06:46.000 It doesn't make sense.

01:06:47.000 It likely never happened.

01:06:48.000 There certainly wasn't the epidemic of razors and the apples.

01:06:51.000 Don't you remember?

01:06:52.000 The Raisins or the Apples! 0.63

01:06:53.000 The Raisins or the Apples! 0.63

01:06:55.000 I assumed it was actually true.

01:06:56.000 No, that's interesting.

01:06:57.000 No, it's like they wanted us to think that every single person giving you money for your UNICEF box was Michael Keaton in Pacific Heights.

01:07:05.000 They were trying to get Big Candy, right?

01:07:07.000 Do we have those numbers there, Gibbon?

01:07:08.000 Just give me a nod or a no.

01:07:10.000 I can't hear you, so I can't see you.

01:07:12.000 In Georgia.

01:07:13.000 Yeah, we got one.

01:07:14.000 1,300 Georgians were hospitalized.

01:07:16.000 No, no, I mean the death rates, if we have those, if we can get those.

01:07:18.000 So see if Reg can get the death rate.

01:07:19.000 I want to see how many people have died in Georgia and if it directly correlates.

01:07:23.000 And we can bring that up by going to Worldometer and hitting USA in Georgia.

01:07:26.000 I already know the answer.

01:07:27.000 I just want to make sure that you don't think I'm lying.

01:07:28.000 Okay, we do have to get one.

01:07:29.000 We don't want to get snoped again.

01:07:31.000 Please do consider, obviously, joining up at Mug Club.

01:07:32.000 We will be tonight doing an Ash Wednesday, and then tomorrow we have Ted Cruz on the show.

01:07:36.000 Friday we have Dan Crenshaw.

01:07:38.000 And of course, thank you to our wonderful sponsors, Walther, if you need a firearm.

01:07:42.000 Basically, they're cool, deadly, they sell themselves.

01:07:45.000 Try the Walther before you purchase a firearm. 0.98

01:07:48.000 They have the balls to sponsor The Shore and Black Rifle... Shore. 0.97

01:07:50.000 I'm a shoreman, so I didn't misspeak.

01:07:55.000 BlackRifleCoffee.com slash Crowder.

01:07:58.000 Enter the promo code Crowder and you get 20% off.

01:08:00.000 If you drink coffee and you like good coffee, toss the Maxwell House and drink a veteran-owned company and drink the product from the veteran-owned company.

01:08:09.000 Don't drink the company.

01:08:10.000 Then you'll need some Pepsi Day C. We don't have them as a sponsor yet.

01:08:13.000 Or hydrochloroquine, one of the two.

01:08:14.000 Yeah, Alka-Seltzer.

01:08:15.000 It's all the same thing.

01:08:16.000 But they're all sold at Quick Trip.

01:08:19.000 They are all sold at Quick Trip.

01:08:21.000 They sell guns?

01:08:22.000 They have a lot of hydroxychloroquine.

01:08:27.000 Okay, time for a little... What is this?

01:08:29.000 What's going on here?

01:08:29.000 Coronavirus killed Americans weeks earlier than thought.

01:08:32.000 Oh, you mean there's more information that you guys were wrong on?

01:08:35.000 I'm not understanding that this is... These papers are not the same as a paper that is already in a published... John King looks like the postman who told the story in Santa Claus is Coming to Town.

01:08:46.000 By the way, can I make one point?

01:08:47.000 And she looks like if you took Helen Hunt and shrunk it in Photoshop without hitting shift.

01:08:53.000 So no.

01:08:54.000 Just kidding.

01:08:55.000 Every single story that I've seen them kind of pivot back to is about how hydrochloroquine and the president was wrong.

01:09:01.000 None of this works.

01:09:02.000 And it's like, okay, guys, that was one study.

01:09:04.000 There's a lot of context that you need for that.

01:09:05.000 The president wasn't wrong when he said, I don't know, maybe, I hope it could be a game changer for us.

01:09:10.000 That's not wrong to say. 0.97

01:09:13.000 Sorry.

01:09:14.000 No, I'm listening.

01:09:14.000 What's that coffee smell like?

01:09:16.000 Because you know what happens, the bag gets puffy.

01:09:17.000 That's how you know it's fresh roasted, because in the carbonic acid, there's the off-gassing.

01:09:21.000 So remember the other day I squeezed it all, I got all the sniffs?

01:09:24.000 I was very selfish with the sniffs.

01:09:26.000 Very inconsiderate, but I love the sniffs because it comes out of this little valve, and just now I realized that it had gotten puffy again because of the off-gassing.

01:09:32.000 So I just got some more coffee sniffs.

01:09:34.000 Well, so, this, you should do something for Joe Biden.

01:09:37.000 You should put, like, little girl smell in a bag for Joe to just... Jeez, Gerald!

01:09:41.000 It would save the little girls!

01:09:42.000 What in the world?

01:09:43.000 He needs the bag instead.

01:09:44.000 Oh, God.

01:09:45.000 He needs the bag.

01:09:47.000 It would be helpful for... Gerald's wife, if you're watching... Don't say that! 1.00

01:09:50.000 Just to null that shit, okay? 1.00

01:09:53.000 No! 1.00

01:09:53.000 Hey, we've got the numbers from Reg. 1.00

01:09:55.000 Yeah, what do we have on the Reg from the Georgia... We have 79 million, uh, sorry, 79, that's per million.

01:10:00.000 79 deaths per million.

01:10:01.000 And what would be interesting to see is, we can't bring it up right now, but to see where they're showing, look, more hospitalizations.

01:10:06.000 That is happening across the board, I can say across the country.

01:10:09.000 But there are more hospitalizations and in many cases fewer deaths.

01:10:12.000 You're talking about a graph.

01:10:13.000 Yeah, a graph.

01:10:14.000 And if you take away, obviously, if you take away the 3,000, and your guess is as good as mine, being tossed up there.

01:10:20.000 Never tested positive for COVID.

01:10:22.000 You can't just talk about hospitalizations just like you can't just talk about infection rates.

01:10:26.000 You have to talk about deaths, specifically deaths per capita.

01:10:29.000 That is the number that matters.

01:10:31.000 I disagree with Ben Shapiro because he was talking about the mortality rate.

01:10:33.000 Well, guess what?

01:10:34.000 That just changed like Ed Rooney's computer with Ferris Bueller's absentee days.

01:10:40.000 The only number that you can rely upon without human intervention, human error, are the deaths per million at this point.

01:10:48.000 And even then, they're still not that reliable because they are skewed by them adding to the total deaths, but at least it puts it somewhat in context.

01:10:54.000 Whereas the hospitalizations, that can be directly affected.

01:10:57.000 This is the same reason that you have insider trading laws.

01:10:59.000 It can be directly affected by someone going up, going wherever they are.

01:11:03.000 They're not going up anymore.

01:11:04.000 There's no stage.

01:11:05.000 They're sauntering on over to their laptop without a microphone and talking about hospitalizations

01:11:12.000 and telling people you need to go to the hospital.

01:11:14.000 You need to go to the hospital.

01:11:15.000 You need to go to the hospital.

01:11:16.000 We said you shouldn't go to the hospital, but now we're saying you need to go to the hospital.

01:11:19.000 You need to go as soon as possible.

01:11:20.000 What do you think's going to happen?

01:11:21.000 You have the ability to directly influence the market and force more people into the hospital.

01:11:27.000 And so you say hospitalizations are up.

01:11:29.000 More people going to the hospital has led us to be able to conduct more antibody tests, which we've referred to.

01:11:29.000 But guess what?

01:11:35.000 And that has let us know, uh-oh, CNN, that it's 20 to 60 times more prevalent than we thought.

01:11:41.000 And that brings the death rate down to 0.5 tops, potentially 0.02%.

01:11:47.000 But you only cover the hospitalizations because you told people to do it.

01:11:51.000 Well, two points.

01:11:53.000 One, those things lag sometimes, those numbers do.

01:11:55.000 And two, well, how many people were in the ICU that went to the hospital?

01:11:57.000 How many people just came in and were feeling bad, but were able to be treated normally?

01:12:01.000 How many people needed a ventilator?

01:12:02.000 Like, all of those things would matter for that number to make any sense for us at all.

01:12:05.000 Otherwise, it's just a random number.

01:12:06.000 I'm not going to lie to you.

01:12:07.000 You are.

01:12:07.000 I didn't listen to you at all, because for people who don't know, the monitor is here, and it's the Sarah McLachlan Animal Corner.

01:12:12.000 So I hope you understand it's no disrespect to you, but I'm trying to put the blinders on.

01:12:15.000 It's like, listen, I've rescued dogs, OK?

01:12:18.000 I'm doing my part!

01:12:20.000 Stop bombarding me!

01:12:22.000 How many times can you blame that commercial for doing more?

01:12:23.000 I just want to laugh at Wolf Blitzer!

01:12:27.000 And Sanjay?

01:12:28.000 Which I think is wrong. 0.94

01:12:29.000 You're not supposed to tune in to laugh at a very white mongoloid. 1.00

01:12:34.000 You're not allowed to do that.

01:12:35.000 I want to see a Sarah McLachlan clip with all of Wolf Blitzer looking sad.

01:12:38.000 Rescue Wolf Blitzer!

01:12:40.000 Rescue Wolf Blitzer.

01:12:42.000 On the wings of an angel!

01:12:44.000 Ah!

01:12:46.000 Zoom in on the nostril flare.

01:12:48.000 I think it gets some other love.

01:12:50.000 I want to see the commercial of like, for the price of a cup of coffee a day, you can put Wolf Blitzer on a ventilator, even though he doesn't need one just because he wants one.

01:12:58.000 Come to my window!

01:13:01.000 No.

01:13:02.000 It would be a very bizarre commercial.

01:13:03.000 It would make no sense!

01:13:05.000 And then I would say, what did I tell you about this commercial?

01:13:06.000 Even though I never really told you anything.

01:13:07.000 And you'd be like, what, is he saying something?

01:13:08.000 And I'm like, go to the 7-Eleven, stall.

01:13:11.000 Wolf Blitzer was here.

01:13:12.000 Put a picture of Sanjay Gupta.

01:13:12.000 Lick the doorknob.

01:13:13.000 OK.

01:13:14.000 So some people are saying they like kind of when I tell some behind-the-scenes stories about Fox News.

01:13:18.000 People were not happy about it at MSNBC, I'll tell you that.

01:13:21.000 Oh.

01:13:22.000 But I think I've told this story before.

01:13:25.000 Do you guys know the story, then we have to go and we will see you tonight with Ash Wednesday, about when I met Clint Eastwood?

01:13:29.000 No.

01:13:30.000 OK.

01:13:31.000 Clint Eastwood.

01:13:33.000 So I will tell you this.

01:13:34.000 I've met him a couple of times, and this is just sort of an amount of the two different times, but both interactions, actually there were technically three interactions, were very Clint Eastwood-y.

01:13:43.000 So let me preface this by saying I think you guys know we've had some celebrities in studio, obviously have celebrities on Skype.

01:13:51.000 It's sort of an innate quality I have in that I don't tend to get intimidated by celebrity.

01:13:56.000 I don't call that being on the spectrum because I pretty much just treat them as I treat most people in this room.

01:14:00.000 That being said, there is a certain level of celebrity and fame with which I'm no longer comfortable, and that basically is like Clint Eastwood, Spielberg, and Tom Hanks.

01:14:09.000 Like, that's it.

01:14:10.000 Pretty much.

01:14:11.000 And the way you treat people in this room is with total disdain.

01:14:13.000 Yes, exactly.

01:14:14.000 Which was my instinct with Clint Eastwood.

01:14:16.000 Like, hey, I loved you in any which way but loose.

01:14:20.000 Look at Wade finally warming up here and starting to throw some jabs.

01:14:23.000 A little late, Wade.

01:14:24.000 Sorry, sorry, sorry.

01:14:25.000 I meant any which way you can.

01:14:27.000 Because I believe that the orangutan's performance was more impressive.

01:14:34.000 If anyone hasn't seen that film, any which way they can, it's Clint Eastwood street fighting. 0.95

01:14:38.000 It's Clint Eastwood as a street fighter and there's a motorcycle gang called the Black Widows and they're the most inept, pussified motorcycle gang. 0.98

01:14:45.000 Like, quit! 0.99

01:14:47.000 Oh no!

01:14:47.000 My neck was in there!

01:14:52.000 Is this like a PG comedy?

01:14:54.000 I don't know what this is.

01:14:56.000 And there's an orangutan named Clyde.

01:14:59.000 But he's like a Kato, where he goes to the barn and the orangutan comes in and he's like, oh Clyde, they're wrestling. 0.98

01:15:05.000 That's not how an orangutan surprises you.

01:15:08.000 He rips off your face because he was sitting in the lake. 0.96

01:15:10.000 Crazy boy with a bottle of Xanax, red wine, and a clicker. 0.99

01:15:13.000 That's serious business. 0.79

01:15:15.000 What's up with the 90s and monkey buddy cop movies?

01:15:19.000 Don't you criticize it because I want to see them making a comeback.

01:15:23.000 I want the orangutans back!

01:15:26.000 K-9 with Jim Belushi, as I like to call him, the better Belushi.

01:15:31.000 Ouch.

01:15:32.000 That's a hot take.

01:15:33.000 When it comes to Belushis, they can't all be Jims.

01:15:40.000 Let it be slow.

01:15:41.000 Let it be slow. 0.98

01:15:42.000 I hate all that you are.

01:15:42.000 So, we're at this gathering, I will say this, of conservatives in Hollywood.

01:15:49.000 It's not really a secret anymore, but it was a secret organization at the time.

01:15:51.000 We're just conservatives, sort of like Alcoholics Anonymous for conservatives in Hollywood.

01:15:55.000 And I'm looking at a table, and at this table is Clint Eastwood, Gary Sinise, Jon Voight, David Mamet, and there were a few other people, but those are the ones that really stuck out, obviously, like Mamet and Clint Eastwood.

01:16:09.000 And I go, okay, I'm going to go sit, you know, I'm like at table 64.

01:16:13.000 But Andrew Breitbart was the one who brought me in.

01:16:15.000 This was in 2009 when I was at PJTV, and Andrew says, no, no, Stephen, come over.

01:16:19.000 You're going to sit with me.

01:16:20.000 Have you met Gary?

01:16:21.000 I'm like, ah.

01:16:23.000 So I go there.

01:16:24.000 So I'm sitting at a round table, keep in mind, with Gary Sinise, John Voigt, Clint Eastwood.

01:16:29.000 And Gary, it turned out, he's been on the show.

01:16:31.000 Very, very nice.

01:16:31.000 Like he's the sweetest man alive.

01:16:33.000 I'm alive, Gary Sinise.

01:16:33.000 I don't think I've ever met a nicer person.

01:16:36.000 The kind of person... Kelsey Grammer was at the table, too, I should say. 0.51

01:16:38.000 He's also very nice.

01:16:39.000 But I knew that because my mother had worked with him a long time ago at the Just for Laughs.

01:16:42.000 He was nice. 0.94

01:16:43.000 Brett Butler was Satan. 0.92

01:16:44.000 Beelzebub, at least.

01:16:45.000 Satan's not so far.

01:16:46.000 I don't want to be hyperbolic.

01:16:47.000 Right next to him.

01:16:47.000 So I'm sitting in a chair.

01:16:48.000 I've got Andrew Breitbart, Gary Sinise, and we're talking.

01:16:50.000 So Gary Sinise is cross-talking across Andrew with me, like pretty loud.

01:16:54.000 But Clint is there, and he clearly has no idea because he doesn't even know that I'm alive.

01:17:00.000 And I'm kind of looking for my spot, and I don't find it.

01:17:04.000 So then later he kind of walks on over to the bar, and I'm like, okay, I'll go.

01:17:08.000 And I'm like, I don't have any money for the bar.

01:17:12.000 I need some money.

01:17:12.000 I was very poor.

01:17:14.000 And he's talking with someone, and I never want to be that guy who takes up too much time, so he's at the bar, he gives the guy some cash, which I can only assume was like a hundred bill wadded up.

01:17:23.000 And he turns around, and I just said, he turned around into me.

01:17:29.000 And then he just looked at me and said...

01:17:32.000 I'm Clint.

01:17:38.000 And then later that night, you all stand up like, hi, I'm so-and-so, I'm a producer.

01:17:45.000 Hi, I'm Gary Sinise, you know me.

01:17:49.000 And you all have to introduce yourselves, because a lot of people are just writers, producers, part-time actors, comedians.

01:17:53.000 And then Clint Eastwood stands up when you have to introduce yourself, because everyone, it's like Alcoholics Anonymous, everyone's on the same footing.

01:17:58.000 Clint Eastwood stands up, he goes, hi, I'm Clint Eastwood, former mayor of Carmel.

01:18:09.000 It's a great joke!

01:18:10.000 It's a great joke!

01:18:11.000 And I'm sure everybody busted out laughing.

01:18:13.000 When it's not a joke, he went over to, I believe, my friend Alex later, and he was telling me about this, but I wasn't there, but he was playing on his iPhone.

01:18:19.000 He was playing, at this point, I don't know what it might have been, like Flappy Bird or whatever.

01:18:23.000 And Clint Eastwood just, he was walking, right?

01:18:24.000 So picture Clint Eastwood, I'll just do it rolling here.

01:18:26.000 He's walking, and he sees Alex over here.

01:18:28.000 So he's walking, and he stops.

01:18:32.000 And he looks at Alex, and he goes... Like he's disgusted.

01:18:36.000 You could see on his face that he was thinking, like, these kids and their video games.

01:18:41.000 You know, but he just... Hey, did you rescue the princess?

01:18:51.000 It just shatters your soul.

01:18:54.000 Oh, Clint Eastwood has no respect for me!

01:18:57.000 The great Clint Eastwood has taken out my soul.

01:18:59.000 Former mayor of Carmel.

01:19:01.000 I can't say anything bad.

01:19:02.000 He's a little standoffish, but he was when he said, I'm Clint.

01:19:06.000 It's great!

01:19:06.000 The guy had a great sense of humor.

01:19:07.000 He seemed pretty sharp, and I'm pretty grateful that I got to meet him.

01:19:10.000 Okay, listen, everybody, we really appreciate you tuning in.
