CNN TOWN HALL!! #CrowderCNNLiveStream | Louder With Crowder
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Oh, I'm your spirit.
Yeah, just how awful that intro actually was.
Stop playing it, Quarter Black Garrett!
I'm just trying to make up words.
This is Hashtag Crowder's CNN live stream.
It's a town hall tonight.
Enter in the promo code CNNSUCKS.
You get $20 off Mug Club.
If you haven't joined, we're going to have some Mug Club joinees coming up.
TQ Matty will bring them up as overlays later.
We have At Broad again in studio with us.
We have Quarter Black Garrett over there.
We have my half-Asian lawyer, Bill Richman, later on.
And we are going to watch at least Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders.
And if it goes well, we'll see how this goes through Kamala Harris and Pete Buttigieg.
And by the way, no notifications have gone out on YouTube, so let everyone know.
Hashtag CrowderCNN livestream tonight.
Overlays, I don't know why we're doing this.
What do you expect tonight?
Basically what I expect tonight, it's kind of like a, we'll call it my question of the day.
Because what I'd rather be doing right now, besides anything, is like usually watching Monday Night Raw.
Between WWE and CNN, which is fake or more heavily scripted?
That's probably the only sadder thing he could be doing, watching Monday Night Raw.
Compared to CNN?
That's true.
So we have Elizabeth Warren.
I will say this.
I expect Elizabeth Warren to be as awkward as humanly possible.
Her Instagram is my favorite.
Oprah has her favorite things.
For me, Instagram, Elizabeth Warren, where she, I like to drink a cold brewski.
I'm just like you!
I mean, has no one seen the Billy Madison GIF?
How do you do, fellow kids?
Same thing she does, she calls up, hey, Todd from Schenectady, I'm just calling to thank you for your $5 donation.
Because that's what I do.
Go away, Elizabeth Warren.
Please go away.
So I expect her to talk quite a bit about impeaching Trump because she is just... God luck with Elizabeth Warren today and then we'll have Bernie Sanders.
We know what to expect with Bernie Sanders and then butt kick.
Elizabeth Warren came out with impeachment, absolving student debt.
Like I'm surprised there isn't an Elizabeth Warren shaped hole in the wall as she's running out here.
She is like, this is what I play for!
But also, what I think it basically is, is that she was expecting to be the frontrunner now.
Yeah.
And at best, I think she's looking at being this year's Chris Christie, which she should have won four years ago.
Right.
So now she's throwing everything at the wall.
And Sound Guy, wait, can you give us a little bit of volume here while we're talking, so we can at least just hear some of the stream, and then we'll bring it up louder later.
So we have to be a little bit careful.
About what we can show you guys, because we got banned from the Oscars, so it's all gonna be box and box.
Alright, Elizabeth Warren, let's go.
Turn this up.
I know so many other students had to take out loans to pay for my education that I will be paying off for years.
Hold on.
What is your plan to deal with student debt and the rising cost of education?
Okay, thanks for the question, Dina.
You know, this is the America we live in now.
Basically, to get a shot at a middle class life, That's not true at all.
That's not true at all, though.
Look at Pell Grants.
Look at the incentives.
four-year college, maybe graduate school, depending on who you are and what you're ending up doing.
The position of the federal government has been, good luck to you, you're on your own.
That's not true at all, that's not true at all, though.
Look at Pell Grants, look at the incentives.
The reason that costs have skyrocketed in education, and by the way, it is not mirrored in areas where there
would be private education areas, even in high school.
Like, you look at Montessori, you look at private schools.
It's because of all the government incentives.
Basically, you have to render college completely unaffordable for people so that the government makes up the money.
That's the issue.
So, wait, hold on a second.
There's a grant out there.
If someone makes under $30,000 a year, let's make college unaffordable to someone making $30,000 a year.
Otherwise, we can't compete with other colleges that are getting all these government grants.
This is completely false.
Think of the areas where there's hyperinflation, where there have been skyrocketing costs, education, healthcare...
Transportation.
These are not bastions of deregulation.
Let's see what she has to say with the robin comb over.
...universally available, with free tuition and fees, and to put more money into Pell Grants so that students of color, so that our poor students have real access to college, and that we put some real money into our historically black colleges and universities.
Give me a number.
Any number.
From where?
Fine.
Just give me any number.
Just notice these are blankers.
We put some more money into our historically black colleges.
Okay, name one.
Uh, City College?
Okay, show me how more money would fix it.
Yeah, that's where it gets a little bit dicey, yes.
Is that going to buy people more dads?
Is it going to remove it from the areas where they have college?
Here's the thing, this idea that you just throw more money, whether it's a black college, as she said, she's playing identity politics, big surprise there, one-nineteenth of a hundredth Cherokee, And right away she just acted like throwing more money at the problem is going to fix it.
Here's the thing, we have been throwing more money at the problem.
That's all we do.
There are more government subsidies for higher education now than ever before.
And here's something else that nobody talks about, and actually researcher Reg talked about this.
This is just encouraging horrible behavior.
There are people out there who didn't take out loans.
So the person who worked their way through college right now, who worked their way through university and got a paying job, should be footing the bill now as a tax-paying citizen.
For another person who decided to play video games while they got their gender studies degree?
What's fair about that?
Alright, hold on a second.
Let's see what she has to say.
Sorry, I should let this go a little more before I talk.
I should listen more.
That's what my wife says.
But now that you've got that great fortune, spend just a minute to remember how you got it.
You built that great business, or your ancestors did, using workers that all of us helped pay to educate.
You got your goods to market using roads and bridges that all of us helped pay to build.
This sounds remarkably similar to the, you didn't build that.
You were protected in your factories with firefighters and police officers that all of us helped to pay.
Oh, did she?
Yeah, I think when Obama did it, it was like a Bassetite version of what she said.
Okay.
Oh wait, by the way, the drinking game.
We forgot.
We have the drinking game.
Send us, by the way, what your drinks are.
Bring this up full screen there, Court of Black Garrett, because I just realized we missed a ton of opportunities to drink.
Climate change, Green New Deal, Russian collusion, obstruction of justice, Trump taxes, 1% inequality, millionaires, billionaires, Medicare for all, fascism, white nationalism, right-wing extremism, assault weapons, walls don't work, strength and diversity, rights of immigration.
Of course, free school should be on there.
I don't know why it isn't on there, but it should be.
Anyway, let's just consider it drinking.
Universal Pre-K, Universal College, and knock back the student loan debt burden for 95% of our students, and still have nearly a trillion dollars left over.
Yeah, right.
I actually want to take a stab.
I want to see the stat where for every one person who's $100,000 or however much in their student loan debt, how many other students aren't?
Who are now going to foot the bill for the irresponsible ones?
I just assume I'm going to get screwed because I pay taxes.
Okay, let's hear the next question, but I have a ton more on the student loan issue.
She's also a contributor to Forbes, where she covers women running high-impact organizations in Africa.
You make me feel like a schlub, I mean...
Thank you for being here.
So Amazon's monopoly means that I can buy generic goods and brand names for my phone and receive them on my doorstep without a delivery fee within 24 hours.
How is breaking up big tech good for me?
Okay, good question, Megan.
So here's what I remember about Amazon, about Google, about Apple, about a lot of these giant tech companies.
They actually run Two businesses.
So one is the platform.
That's the place where people come to buy and sell goods.
That's where you go to get whatever it is, you know, and you can compare 48 printers and get it all delivered in less than 24 hours.
Got it.
Cool.
That's the platform.
And just so you get an idea of the scale here for Amazon, Walmart does about 9% of all retail sales in America.
If you want to sell online, Amazon is doing about 49% of all retail sales that are happening now.
So that is the marketplace.
So Amazon runs the marketplace.
I'm cool with that.
I'm all for a marketplace.
But Amazon does a second thing.
This is a very long-winded answer.
information on every buyer and seller who comes through.
Every time you go to buy something, they get your information and they aggregate it with
the other information they had about you.
And every time you come to sell something, they get information.
This is a very long-winded answer.
This is why she's not doing well.
It looks like pet pillows.
And it's, by the way, when I say long-winded, I don't mean this is long-winded in that it's
substantive and she hasn't explained any nuance or details here.
She's just explained what happens when you click add to cart.
Basically, anytime you do anything on the internet, this is what happens.
And when you order on Amazon, and there's the priority, which is you can do the two-day, but some days it has to be over $35 or you don't get the two-day.
So I usually don't do the two-day.
I think we've all had an experience where the Amazon ads we see on Facebook are kind of creepy.
It is a little creepy.
We were just having a conversation.
Sure.
You just make that up.
are referred to by venture capitalists, investors, as the dead zone.
Because it means you try to start up a business, you just run the risk that Amazon steps in
front of you, or Google steps in front of you, or they buy your platform to have a chance
to get started.
Look, you're so uncivilized.
I think in New York, for example, with an average income, Maddie can bring this up, an average salary that would have been over $100,000 a year, adding 25,000 jobs demonstrably to the municipality of New York.
I wouldn't necessarily call that a dead zone, and I think New York City, which is hemorrhaging people who would actually pay a significant amount of taxes, might not consider it a dead zone.
But I don't know.
You know, again, this is identity politics.
We've just talked about how we need to make sure that students don't have to pay for schooling, and we need to break up companies that are Creating some of the higher paying jobs in the country.
So this sounds like an economic plan that'll work wonders.
This is why no one likes Elizabeth Warren, by the way.
She just spent a ton of time explaining nothing.
Let's go back and see if she has anything else to say.
Where there's really a chance for everybody to get in and compete.
So that's the reason I want to see the two of them broken up.
Do you order stuff from Amazon?
Sure!
You do?
I just wish I could order my frosty beers!
Okay.
As a matter of fact, just yesterday I ordered a Hatchimal like all those kids are using these days.
What did they put the mailbox in?
I really like ordering the bulk packs of fidget spinners.
We have another question now.
Did you bring that up, Maddie?
The salary?
The Amazon salary?
As a freshman at Harvard, a supporter of Mayor Buttigieg.
Seth?
Senator Warren, in 2012 you opposed the legalization of marijuana nationwide.
And then in 2013, as Senator of Massachusetts, you opposed the state initiative for legalization.
Yet in 2016, you came out in support of the legalization of marijuana nationwide.
What are your honest views on the legalization of marijuana and marijuana legislation?
If they have, why have they changed?
So, actually, I support Massachusetts changing its laws on marijuana.
Massachusetts is decriminalized at that point, and I thought it made a lot of sense for Massachusetts to go ahead and legalize marijuana, and I now support Am I the only one who thinks this is the most softball town hall?
I will say this, at least about Fox News, right out of the gate they asked Bernie Sanders about the economy, about democratic socialism, they asked him about his views on trade, they asked him about his views on foreign affairs, and the Yemen war.
They asked her about free college tuition, Amazon, and pot!
I mean, this is always the complaint with the debates, when you have Democrat primaries and Republican primaries, because the Democrats get questions about issues, where they hit back softballs.
Democrats get asked about, what do you think about what this person said about this other person, and Mexicans, and they get criticized, well, you didn't talk about issues.
You didn't ask me any issues!
What do you think about marijuana?
Oh, I like it.
They're trying.
This is clearly a layup.
I don't know if Donna Brazile handed her the questions or not, all the way from the Fox News offices over on Avenue of the Americas.
But this is clearly like, hey, what is Elizabeth Warren's Achilles heel, aside from all of it?
Young people.
Let's give her the opportunity to buy some young votes by promising free education, which is not free.
It's just the bills being passed on to the taxpayer, people who aren't getting four-year gender studies degrees.
And let's give her the opportunity to talk about how much she loves Reefer.
I want you to meet Jackson Dwyer.
He's from Massachusetts.
He's a senior at St.
Anselm College.
Jackson.
Hi, Jackson.
Hi, Senator.
You have often been a vocal critic of police and the criminal justice system, both at the state and federal levels.
He's like a Wallace and Crump character.
But like the actual cartoon.
Like, I don't think he's the real person.
Hold on, let me hear his question.
Officer Michael Chesna of Weymouth, how can you assure me that you will support legislation that keeps law enforcement safe?
So, that's a very good question.
I appreciate your asking it.
It's actually really not a very good question for her.
How can you convince me that you're not going to hate cops?
People who are in law enforcement, people who are in the judicial system.
The people who I routinely accuse of barbarism and shooting black kids in the back just for fun.
These people.
Until I need their union voting block.
By the way, we need to make sure we have card check.
Can't have people stepping out of the line.
Our criminal justice system is broken.
And right at the heart of that problem is race.
And we have to address this head on.
So let me just give you some basic information about what's happening right now in our criminal justice system.
Study after study after study shows us that African Americans compared with whites I mean, I could do that any time you want.
the far soundboard.
I mean, I could do that any time you want.
Anytime.
I'd be very interested to hear her study.
She said study after study after study.
Because I have a bunch of studies here.
I think we can even bring them up from the research document that show that black Americans commit, unfortunately, disproportionate amounts of crime.
And if you actually compare the disproportionate crime levels, With the population percentage they make up in prison, it's not at all disproportionate.
That is something that people need to keep in mind.
Now, she just said wrongfully convicted.
She just said more likely to be convicted for the exact same crime as a white person.
Again, I would be very interested... This is kind of like they used to use the talking point about how, you know, our prisons are overpopulated with people who just smoked a joint.
You know, when we did some digging on the show, it's just not true.
less than 1% of state penitentiaries are there for solely marijuana related crimes.
Yeah, it's usually other stuff.
It's usually other stuff and it usually involves other drugs or violent crimes that accompany it.
I don't think our prisons should be overpopulated with people who've smoked a joint, but they're not.
So right now, she said, how would I support police officers?
I would support them by saying I support them, but then accusing them of,
she just accused the entire police force and judicial system, by the way.
Judges, Supreme Court, the Circuit of Appeals of being racistly motivated.
Look at that guy.
Look at that.
He's not even enthusiastic about her answer.
The Wallace and Gromit character.
When people leave the prison system, they need to be reintegrated into their communities.
They need to be able to participate in the political process and that means they need the right to vote to be reinstated.
police officers.
And they need to be able to participate in the political process and that means they
need the right to vote, to be reinstated.
They are American citizens.
Hmm.
Thank you for listening.
Hmm.
Alright.
I feel like that's a drink because you said, uh, American citizens as a whole.
We are the world.
Bring back up the drinking rules so we have them for when people, uh, are confused.
Again, Crowder CNN, uh, livestream.
CNN sucks is the promo code that you enter in for Mug Club.
CNN sucks.
That's the promo code.
You get $20 off.
$20 off even if you're not a student, veteran, or active military tonight.
$20 off.
$20 off just for thinking that CNN sucks?
Just for typing that CNN sucks.
You mentioned Sergeant Gannon's tragic death in Massachusetts.
I wrote an op-ed with his parents about asking for our leaders across this country to step up and pass some sensible gun safety laws.
We need universal background checks.
It already exists.
We need to take the weapons of war off our cities.
Define it!
Define it.
What does that mean?
What does that mean?
Hold on a second.
Let's define that right now.
What weapons of war?
You're talking about tanks, you're talking about panzers, you're talking about bazookas, you're talking about AR-15s, which are not the same as an M16, which are semi-automatic rifles, which include a huge percentage of hunting rifles, as well as all handguns.
So, define weapon of war.
To be willing to push back against the NRA and to put some sensible gun safety laws in place.
We have them.
The sensible gun safety laws that you just pointed out already exist.
We already have universal background checks.
We need more.
Hi, Senator.
So this isn't as much of a policy-based question, but some have voiced concerns about you getting Hillary'd in the election, meaning that you get held to a higher standard than your opponent.
Yes, if this town hall is any indicator.
You know, whereas other people might be asked about the Arab Spring or might be asked about international conflict or marginal tax rates, you get the tough questions about pot.
I believe we have feminist bullshit on the drinking scale.
Yeah, that's right, we do have feminist bullshit on the drinking scale.
But if I can, I want to go back before 2016, because can we all just let our hair down here for a minute?
This didn't start in 2016.
That's letting your hair down?
Right, guys?
I like you better when you're drinking this nice, refreshing Samuel Adams from Massachusetts.
I never thought I was going to be in elected politics.
I've known what I wanted to do all my life.
And I thought that would be my job forever.
And during the crash, I end up down in Washington setting up a consumer agency for President Obama.
And after I did that for a year, the Republicans said, we're never going to let her stay and run that thing.
So I came back to Massachusetts, and there was an incumbent Republican.
And they said, keep her!
A popular Republican incumbent.
Oh yeah, but he's still a Republican in Massachusetts.
No, she wasn't!
She was literally one of the worst candidates in the past 50 years.
Who are we talking about right now?
in the bank from Wall Street. Oh yeah but he's still a Republican in Massachusetts.
And he had just beaten a woman who was really good. No she wasn't! She was literally one of the worst
candidates in the past 50 years. Who are we talking about right now? The Attorney General. I think if it's who I
think she's talking about the Attorney General from Massachusetts
that's Scott Brownby.
Oh that's right.
From a professional standpoint, her campaign was offensive.
Hold on a second.
Can anyone tell me... How is Hillary Clinton held to a high standard?
her campaign was offensive.
This is what Democrats call it.
Say, you should do this, you're going to lose.
All I can say is, Democrats, get a better message.
Um...
Hold on a second. Can anyone tell me...
Hold on.
How is Hillary Clinton held to a high standard?
You're going to lose because...
Her biggest qualification was blowing the ex-president.
No, no, no, that was the intern.
Yeah, that's true.
Her biggest qualification was not blowing the ex-president.
And then she got an apartment in New York for two weeks and then got a Senate seat.
I mean, this is what's remarkable to me. They just throw this out there.
Women are held to a higher standard.
Really, Elizabeth Warren, do you really think that you are being held to a higher standard?
You go out there and you champion this idea that women are paid 77 cents on the dollar and no one calls you on it.
You go out there and you say that we have the money to pay for everyone's student debt and no one calls you on it.
You go out there and you talk about Pell Grants and increasing government subsidies to colleges,
which of course has contributed to the massive hyperinflation of college tuition, and you're never called on it.
You never called on it.
Generally speaking, they don't call a lot of female kids.
Do you remember the standard they held Carly Fiorina to?
Remember when Carly Fiorina was on Katie Couric when she was on The View?
They were absolutely brutal.
Well, you know what?
When you were at HP, you weren't a great CEO.
It's like, well, they were hemorrhaging... I don't have the numbers in front of me.
They were hemorrhaging $800 million a year, and then when I came in, they were only hemorrhaging $400 million a year, so some of us would call that a net gain.
Why is she on her knees?
I don't want to know why she's on her knees.
We know exactly why she's kneeling.
To be one of the people.
She's doing the thumb thing.
Alright, what did she just say?
Something something sexism drink.
Yeah.
Something something sexism drink.
CNN sucks is the promo code.
Hold on.
Hold that thought.
Hi, I'm Steven Crowder.
I pinky swear.
give us a hold on one when I went home and I hold that thought no matter what
the day had been like I would count up how many pinky swears we've done during
the day and I kept getting out there and hammering my message I kept getting out
there time Steven Crowder about what's happening to working families across
this country talking about how Washington works great just not a pinky swear I'm gonna give you free school and
how I pinky sweat here can you see the pinky I see the pinky I pinky swear
that you will not have to pay a dime for your underwater basket weaving
degree them by seven and a half.
So, the way I see it, is here we are in a presidential, and it's the same kind of... What were you about to say?
What I was going to say, give an example why, you know, CNN gets accused of being fake news, or like biased news, like that doesn't exist.
If this were a Donald Trump rally, the fact checks would just be popping up on the screen.
They'd be like, actually, Amazon only requires you to spend $30 for next day shipping on Amazon.
He said $35.
Then again, that's what Putin delivered to him.
I'm not claiming that the president has a close relationship with the truth, but neither do any of these people.
And they just get to go on and on and on and on.
About the fleshing across the screen.
No, 77 cents on the dollar.
BS.
Right.
Yeah, here's one thing I will say this.
I expect, by the way, use the hashtag CrowderCNN livestream promo code as CNN sucks to get
$20 off.
I am kind of astounded as to how flat this is compared to the Bernie CNN town hall.
And by the way, every single person who has a question of Bernie that I can recall was
a liberal.
It certainly wasn't, the deck was not stacked with a bunch of conservatives there.
These have been nothing but softballs right now.
There hasn't been a substantive question and she hasn't really answered substance, uh,
substantively.
The closest she came was when she was talking about universal background checks, which we
already have.
And then she mentioned sensible gun laws.
This is what is remarkable to me is that they are not, they are not held to the same standard.
Not only that they hold Republicans to, but that we hold Republicans to know.
We want specifics.
We want specifics on these answers.
I mean, you could be my candidate and I still want specific answers on policies.
If someone just says a weapon of war, well hold on a second, what is that?
Is it the SIG P320?
They use knives.
Because that's what they use, that's what they have as their sidearm.
Is that a weapon of war because it's happened?
Yeah, exactly.
They use knives, like, every day.
A K-Bar?
I mean, unless you're Antifa, which apparently is your weapon of choice.
I don't, I, this is, this is something that is remarkable to me.
I'm hoping that we move into a direction here where she's actually, her feet are held to the fire a little bit.
Let me see what I have here.
I have some, some prep and we'll, uh, and Maddie, always, uh, sing out here because I'm not hearing from you when, if, uh, sign ups and when we're going to bring those up as screen grabs.
Um, hold on a second.
She hasn't talked about impeachment yet.
I have this here.
She hasn't talked about impeachment yet.
That's coming.
She's going to talk about getting rid of the Electoral College, I'm sure.
Yes.
No, I don't know.
She's talking about forgiving student debt.
This is remarkable.
And I would love to hear from you.
Tweet me at S Crowder.
Anyone out there who's actually paid for your own school?
What do you think of that?
This is remarkable.
This is, again, this victim, this faux-victim culture creating actual victims, the unintended consequences.
It's not free.
Who's picking up the bill?
Taxpayers, right?
Who would be taxpayers?
People who have already paid their student debt and are entering the workforce.
Or maybe they still have some student debt and they're entering the workforce.
But I guarantee you the people who worked their way through college and didn't rack up the kind of student debt that would be forgivable under her plan, because I think you have to be making under $100,000 a year, this is simply punishing good behavior.
What about people who racked up student debt, paid it off themselves, became lawyers, became doctors, became anesthesiologists, became nurse practitioners?
They should be paying off student loans to people who make $40,000, $20,000, $30,000 a year because they decided to intern at Slate?
Or what about people who did what I did, where at 18 I didn't know what I wanted to do for the rest of my life, so I didn't go to a $10,000, $20,000 a year college.
I went to community college, I went to a local school.
It is remarkable to me that we just act as though community colleges don't exist.
And by the way, there are vocational schools.
This is something no one else was talking about, and let's bring this up as an overlay, Matty.
We have more available jobs than ever in the United States history.
Since the Bureau of Labor Statistics has been keeping track of jobs on record, we have the highest job surplus in United States history.
I mean, there are more freely available jobs right now that have not been filled.
What does that tell you?
It tells you that it's not a problem with degrees and education.
A lot of these don't necessarily require advanced degrees.
A lot of them require that people go to trade schools.
There are jobs out there right now.
First off, I don't like this assumption that everyone needs to go to college, and I don't like this assumption, which her proposal basically makes, that all degrees are equal.
They are not equal.
I'm sorry, they're not.
A STEM degree is worth more than your gender studies degree.
It is.
And by the way, it's worth more than a general political science degree.
I'm sorry, but I think an anesthesiologist should be making more, and the degree is worth more, than someone who's a public school teacher for the first grade.
And I know we're supposed to say that teachers, it's the most important job in the United States.
I don't know, I think the person who's bringing me right near death, and then backing it up a couple of millimeters, that's someone who I might want to be tossing some extra loose change.
Maybe.
Look at this grin.
She's so happy.
She's like, I'm just happy to be here.
Well, let's hear it.
Here we go, here we go.
Impeachment drink.
We're going to have questions from the audience in a minute.
I do just want to ask you, you have called for impeachment proceedings.
Here we go.
Here we go.
President Trump.
Impeachment drink.
What do you say to those Democrats who say this is not the time, it's going to take away
focus from winning.
in 2020, Speaker Pelosi told her caucus again just today that she has no plans
to immediately initiate impeachment.
If you want to go down this road for impeachment, God bless.
There is no political inconvenience exception to the United States Constitution.
Oh hey, Hopper, I didn't even realize you were back there.
You just hit your mic stand?
Yes.
I would like to spend more time on this because this is the only thing that delineates me from other candidates and or makes me even remotely interesting.
story. I would like to spend more time on this because this is the only thing that delineates
me from other candidates and or makes me even remotely interesting and it's only going to
last about a week. So please let me stay in impeachment. It is the thing I get that it's
a good talking point for them but the only way impeachment works is if like the people
are behind it. The only reason why they were behind Bill Clinton getting impeached was
because of the oral sex element because they could actually like you know.
Understood that, as opposed to perjury.
Right.
Now that they did away with the Russian collusion, and they hear you all, we're going to push impeachment, even though they think they may have them on obscurity.
Well, they're actually, they're losing independence more than any different demographic group.
Bring that up there, Maddie.
If you search independence Russian collusion, you'll see actually they've lost a lot of ground with independent voters in Russian collusion.
Just feel free to toss it up.
Okay, let's hear this a little bit louder their way.
The evidence is just there, read it footnote after footnote, page after page documentation.
So it's not his fault, but it's still his fault.
Are they talking about Russia right now or Trump?
She just said Trump.
sophisticated attack. They attacked part of the voting system. That's going to be an ongoing federal investigation.
They hacked into more than 50 computers at the DNC, the DCCC.
So it's not his fault, but it's still his fault.
Are they talking about Russia right now or Trump? She just said Trump.
Yeah.
And now she's saying they hacked. She didn't delineate that.
You're talking about the Russia?
Oh yeah, that's right, drink.
By the way, Russia.
Impeachment.
I keep forgetting this whole thing!
This whole thing!
I'm gonna be running out of beer any second now.
We're gonna die.
That's why I'm drinking beer, not the Welterking.
I will make it to Bernie.
Hello, alcohol poisoning.
Yes, Donald Trump is a jerk.
We understand that.
leaks coming. The idea that he was welcoming what was happening from the Russian government
and by the summer of 2016, the report documents that by that point, the Trump campaign.
Again, she's not saying anything new.
Did we get that, Maddie, there?
The independence on the Russia collusion?
Still bringing it up?
Okay.
For dealing with the leaks that were coming in from the Russians.
So that's part two.
Part three is when the federal government starts to investigate part one and part two.
Donald Trump took repeated steps aggressively to try to halt the investigation, derail the investigation, push the investigation somewhere else.
But he did it.
He whined on Twitter.
He whined on Twitter that you guys were accusing him of collusion and that this investigation was a political witch hunt because it turned out to be a political witch hunt.
It's like someone come... Picture this, a police officer coming to your house saying, hey, I would like to search you out.
There you go.
Independence Trust Mueller, which Could be.
No, that's the wrong one there, Maddie.
We had one after the Mueller investigation.
That's pre.
Yeah, that's pre.
Afterward, they lost, actually, independence.
So that's the pre.
We need the post.
I was talking about something else there before that.
A picture of a police officer comes to your house and says, hey, I have a search warrant for your house.
He said, well, what are you here for?
We're here because we believe that you're dealing drugs.
And you say, hold on a second, I'm not dealing drugs.
I don't want to.
Can I see the search warrant?
And then they have to fuddle around and look for the search warrant.
They go, hold on a second, you made me look for the search warrant, and they find out that it's the guy next door who was dealing drugs.
You had nothing to do with dealing drugs.
And then they say, but even though you have a completely clean record, you didn't commit any of the crimes we accuse you of, but you did obstruct us by asking for the search warrant and make me fumble through my pocket.
How do you obstruct justice to a crime you never committed?
Obstruction requires you... And by the way, there was no actual obstruction.
This is also something that's important to me.
Right.
It's not Barr saying this.
Mueller said this.
This is about what kind of a democracy we have.
In a dictatorship, everything in government revolves around protecting the one person at the center.
but not in our democracy and not under our constitution. We have checks and balances
and we have to proceed here in a way understanding our place in history that not only
we don't like she's trying to soar here not quite hitting it but protects democracy
That guy?
Is that what you're talking about?
comes in and the next president and the president after that.
But that's our response.
Do you mean like the president you just talked about serving under who signed more executive orders
than any other president in the history of the country?
Barack Obama, by the way, one of his first was reversing the reversal of Mexico City policies
so that we could be funding abortions overseas.
That guy?
Is that what you're talking about, our moment in democracy, Elizabeth Warren?
Focused on impeaching the president, which is not going to pass in the Senate.
Not really going to go anywhere in that sense.
Doesn't that take away focus from the tabletop issues that you and other Democrats say they want to run on?
So let me just say, if you've actually read the Mueller report, it's all laid out there.
It's not like it's going to take a long time.
How can we trust these people to read the entire Mueller report?
Full disclosure, I didn't.
When you haven't even read the Green New Deal.
When I've watched these people go out there on television and say that's not in the Green New Deal, and it is!
You can go on YouTube right now and watch me read the New Deal from pillar to post.
It's all in there!
Where it talks about trying to eradicate transportation as we know it, air travel.
Where it talks about radically changing every single building and infrastructure in the United States.
All that is in the bill!
How can I expect you to read... What's the Mueller report?
Was it 400 pages?
400 pages and with like footnotes.
Okay.
Start with five.
Five pages of random.
Just open the report.
Page 162.
I'll read this page.
And then told the White House counsel to write a letter saying that Donald Trump had not told him to go fire Mueller.
And then to say, why on earth would you take notes about what I said to you?
The lawyers I deal with never put anything in writing.
There's so little in this report that she's going, and can you picture there's a president who's not used to a lawyer taking notes and he said, why are you taking notes?
Oh, okay, well that would be really relevant.
I would think so.
Let's say the lawyer found any evidence of collusion or obstruction.
Is that why he didn't want the lawyer to be taking notes?
Was he incriminating himself?
Was he offering up evidence?
None of it!
None of it!
Can you believe he was surprised at notes?
Did the lawyer take notes?
He did!
Was there anything of note?
No! But he didn't like it!
No!
You were registered as a Republican until 1995.
But you've since become one of the most progressive people in Congress.
Did you change your beliefs, or do you believe that the political parties changed around you?
The political parties changed around her.
So, understand this, Cecilia.
I grew up in a family that wasn't political.
I grew up out in Oklahoma, and to this day, I couldn't tell you how my parents were registered, or my grandparents, or much of anybody else.
Unlike you kids!
I was stupid.
This idea.
I lived in the United States before it was politically polarized.
Do me a favor.
Go back and watch West Wing right now.
I've been watching it, watching back through it with my wife.
All they talk about is, this isn't like the days of FDR or even God, God love him, Gerald Ford.
We're more polarized than ever.
This was in the 90s and the early 2000s.
They bitch about this all the time.
And by the way, they didn't bitch about polarization to the same degree when they had Barack Obama in office.
Keep that in mind.
In 2028, they're going to be saying, this wasn't the way it was when Donald Trump was in office, when we were all getting along with each other.
I remember when there used to be respectable Republicans like Jared Kushner and not Mitt Romney Jr.
IV, who is clearly a grand dragon in the KKK.
That's what you're going to see in the year 2036.
Hold on a second.
This is something I don't understand.
By the way, we need to drink people of color.
steeper and even rockier.
But we can bring this up here as an overlay.
We talked about this before.
We have unemployment that's below 4%.
And by the way, that's not an adjusted number as you saw with President Barack Obama because labor force participation was very low.
We have record high labor force participation rates.
We have more people who've entered the workforce than, as I talked about earlier, Since the Bureau of Labor has been keeping these statistics, and we have record job surpluses, and the markets have rallied to unprecedented degrees.
If you believe it is worse now than ever before, please do not open a history book up to 1942.
And by the way, fewer layoffs than before.
Firings!
There are less firings than ever before, meaning more people are quitting to find better, higher-paying jobs.
And that's when I jumped in, politically.
I got in that fight.
And I fought it for 10 years.
But I think a lot of it also has to do with the cultural thing, where like, you know, a lot of people these days, they have higher expectations of what they're owed.
Right.
Millennials.
Yeah.
So my party was the party that at least got half of them to stand up for working people.
And that was the big change for me.
I want you to meet...
What?
Gosh, it's a horned rimmed glasses and bangs fest.
You can tell from the sweatshirt, from New Jersey, studying environmental engineering.
Great sweatshirt, Archibald.
He's a former intern for Senator Cory Booker.
He says he's currently undecided on who to support.
I bet you he has some stories.
Come here, kiddo!
Don't worry, Rosario's my beard!
I think.
I know I'm in a minority.
Honestly, I think if Cory was gay, he'd come out just to score three points in the polls.
Maybe.
What was his question?
You mean like a dropping retiree per worker ratio and an average life expectancy that used to be 65 when Social Security was created and now it's 78 years old?
Talking about those?
per worker ratio and an average life expectancy that used to be 65 when
Social Security was created now it's 78 years old. Talking about those? Is that what you're talking about?
That's why we're not going to get it even though we're paying into it?
And by the way, the rate of return is about 2%, as opposed to if you invested it privately, you'd get a 10% rate of return, doubling your money every 10 years.
Or even if it's a fixed income portfolio, where we want to do it with low risk, you're going to get 5.
Yeah.
We got some Mug Clubbers.
Oh, we do?
Okay, let's see these Mug Clubbers.
Let's bring them up as overlays.
Thank you for joining.
Can you read them out?
Got some Mug Clubbers.
Oh we do?
Ok let's see these Mug Clubbers.
Let's bring them up as overlays.
Thank you for joining.
Can you read them out?
Thank you.
I finally got my Mug Club membership.
Wish I had been able to do it sooner.
Very nice.
Let's see the next one.
What's the name?
Let's ring the bell.
I can't read it with the... It's Marco Brutus.
Marco Brutus.
Thank you, sir.
We appreciate it.
And the next one.
We have one more?
Is that what you said?
We got two so far.
Okay, good.
I'm sure there's more.
We just haven't brought them up.
Okay, let me hear her talk about Social Security.
That we're not going to make any more changes to Social Security, not going to increase the revenue stream, not going to change the pieces, and we've been locked there.
And the consequence is, every year that goes by, we get the system just a little further out of whack.
And by the way, if you're talking about a plan where people were promised that they wouldn't be paying more into it, where they're talking about that it would be consistent for all beneficiaries, and then you require more people to join in to pay off previous beneficiaries, or You require them to pay a higher amount than people who previously paid into the system?
You know what that's called?
It's called a Ponzi scheme.
The only reason it's not called a Ponzi scheme when it's Social Security is because the government is doing it.
There is no way that Social Security, as it stands now, can continue to be financially solvent, especially in the wake of the baby boom generation.
It can't.
We bring it up, and they say, like you said, they say we want to kill their grandmother.
By the way, this is the party that supports euthanasia.
Remember?
I mean, can we put Kevorkian at your feet at least?
Everybody and, well, not everybody.
What else do you know?
It's okay if you're a doctor that you aren't allowed to keep or want to put you to death.
Right.
The problem is the political will.
What you don't have!
Step up and say, we've got to make adjustments.
We've got to make adjustments on revenue.
Hold on a second, what does this mean?
How do you make adjustments on revenue?
Increase taxes.
So that, particularly women who had lower earnings for so many years, especially in the first years, that they were working, get better support in their later years.
But at this moment, there's no political will to come together.
There's no one who's willing to drive this.
By the way, lower earners benefit disproportionately from social security.
The guy who's making hundreds of thousands of dollars a year can invest it in his own portfolio.
This is one thing that people don't understand.
This idea that women who've earned less, what are you talking about?
They're not getting any social security, is that what she's saying?
By the way, if you look at social security when it started, actually, initially, I believe, I think it was until either 48 or 50, the only people eligible for social security were people who had enough years of income earned on the books, because they didn't believe that you should benefit from a social welfare system if you didn't actually contribute to it.
So this idea that everyone should get it, that's not how it started.
That's not how it was pitched to the American people.
In particular, I know that you have experienced President Trump's name-calling and bullying firsthand.
Yeah.
And given the success that he's had with these tactics in the past, I was wondering how you
propose to counter them if you were to become the Democratic nominee.
By logging off Twitter, they disappear.
In particular, are you worried that he might be able to caricature you to general election voters before you've had a chance to make your candidacy heard?
What did he call you, Senator Warren?
What did he name call you?
Can you say it for us?
What did he call you?
Just tell us.
Senator Warren, why did he call you a Pocahontas?
I think my 23 in me speaks for itself.
Really?
Because the Sioux Tribe don't think so?
Cherokee Nation was pretty pissed off.
People care a whole lot more about their families than they do about some kind of name-calling.
Tell that to the network you're on right now.
Trevor Foster.
Thank you, Trevor Foster.
What up, Trevor?
Not because I looked at myself in the mirror every day and said, oh, senator.
A president?
Is that her pointing to cheekbones again with this deal?
Talking about the high cheekbones of our non-Native American forefathers?
Thank you very much.
Here, we can do that during the commercial break.
Next commercial, we'll have a commercial, because I'm going to have to pee when they go to another commercial break.
Oh, it's one of those kids who had a dream.
We talked about college.
We'll bring him back up.
I've known what I wanted to do since second grade.
I wanted to be a public school teacher.
Can we hear it for America's Public School Teachers?
Can I?
Oh my God!
I was almost there!
We've lost him.
I don't think Stephen's making it to Bernie Sanders.
No, no.
I can't, she's just, I love pot!
Can I hear it for public school teachers?
Is there anything safer?
What the hell is this?
Is there a brush in this seat?
Is this yours?
That was mine from last trip.
Oh my god!
Let's hear it for marijuana and public school teachers and Leanin' Kugels!
And the best thing is she had to ask people to applaud.
Did you see that?
Yay.
What is she doing?
Laugh please.
Yay.
And then I dropped out of school.
Yay.
And I took a job answering phones.
And I thought that was gonna be my life forever.
A good life.
But not the dream I had.
And then I found a commuter college that cost $50 a semester.
And for a price that I could pay for on a part-time waitressing job, I had a chance to get a four-year diploma and become a special needs teacher.
You can still do that!
You can still do that, by the way.
Still possible.
That's what I believe is the best of America.
And you would counter Trump's name calling and pulling if you're the Democrat nominee by doing this out?
Which we all have.
Name me a single country that has a better economy than the United States.
By the way, Luxembourg doesn't count because you guys hate that people use these offshore banking havens, right?
Luxembourg is basically a banking capital.
Outside of Luxembourg, we have the highest median income.
We have the lowest unemployment.
We have the biggest GDP in the world.
And we have more top ten universities than anyone else in the top ten, which isn't really surprising.
When I talk about top universities across the globe, I think really you get Oxford, Sarbonne, and you get maybe McGill in Canada.
There might be like two or three.
They're almost all in the United States.
It's remarkable to me, not only for the privilege, you just talked about how you were working as a part-time waitress at a diner, and there was a black kid there with a Harvard Letterman's jacket!
This is what I've talked about before.
Socialism, and she is a socialist, they want you to be hopeless.
They want you to believe that right now, when it's as good as it's ever been in modern American history, that the deck is stacked against you and there is no hope for you.
It is unbelievable.
People are hopeless because you're making them hopeless, not because Donald Trump calls you Pocahontas.
Donald Trump may name-call, Donald Trump may be inarticulate, but you know how he won?
He won not only because he resonated with American working class voters as the Democratic Party has not, but he also believes that the United States is the greatest country in the world.
And guess what?
Middle Americans don't really want a handout like that.
They don't want what she's talking about right now.
They don't want free school.
They don't want to be robbed of that experience, being able to work their way through college and get a degree and support their family.
Donald Trump resonated with them because he believed in the American Dream.
These people are crapping on it.
She is crapping on The American Dream, saying that university is only available to the most privileged?
Hold on, you said you wanted to put more money into the Pell Grants, right?
Right.
Okay, so more would imply what?
More opportunity.
No, more money would imply there's already money, there already are Pell Grants.
Well, what is a Pell Grant?
It's basically guaranteed money to make up the inaffordability of college for people who make below a certain income threshold.
And by the way, it's abused often for people who aren't qualified to be in those universities in the first place.
We have nothing but programs to provide subsidies and grants.
By the way, you only want to absolve people of student debt who are making under $100,000 a year.
That doesn't sound to me like we're benefiting the most privileged people.
they're not the I would assume that's most of the people who are suffering with my
half-inch lawyer Bill Richman he's going to be here any minute by the way CNN sucks at the promo
code hashtag Cryder CNN live stream it's what you guys should be using he had piano keys jammed in
his neck from his tiger mom because he missed a middle c once and then he graduated summa cum laude
from SMU law school okay Okay?
This is not about the most privileged among us getting wealthier.
And I'm sure we'll talk about that more.
What did I say?
Summa.
You said summa?
Oh, I did say summa cum laude.
Actually, he might be mad.
Maybe he was only magna.
I don't know.
I know there's cum laude, magna cum laude, summa cum laude, and one of them's best.
He was the second best.
I thought you said summa when you're making an Asian joke.
No, I said summa.
Okay.
Did I say sumo?
You made the joke, okay.
You heard sumo?
He made the Asian joke, according to Blackmail.
Alright, listen, we're gonna go to a commercial break, and actually, you know what, you guys can read out the, uh, let's read out the Twitter, uh, Twitter sign-ups for Mug Club, then go to a quick commercial break, and we'll be back with more, because I have got to, uh, uh, tinkle before we get to Bernie Sanders, because I think I'm gonna piss myself laughing and die here on this chair.
Be right back!
Flight to flight!
Flight to flight, thank you!
Yeah!
Let's go to the next one.
Who also did not get a notification today?
Yeah, probably not.
Yeah.
Fuck.
Yeah.
They say I...
Yeah.
You named my winner, baby, oh so bad.
And I'm the only one to make it happen.
And if I tell you what I'm gonna do, don't you know it's really frankly true?
They call me Dr. Trump!
I've got the witch you're dreaming of!
I'm a doctor too!
And even though I'm full of sin In the end, you know I win
They'll piss and moan, yeah, you know it's true.
But we all know it's cause they're just fake dudes.
So guobolis, get on your knees.
Grab some pillows, baby, if you please.
Baby, get ready if you're feeling jazzed.
And get ready to kiss.
My ass!
They call me Dr. Trump!
I've got the winter treatment on!
Doctor Truck!
They call me Doctor Truck! I got the wings and the power!
I got the witch you're dreaming of.
They call me, they call me Dr. Trump.
They call me Dr. Trump They call me Dr. Trump
I got the which you're dreaming of They call me Dr. Trump
Trump, Trump, Trump, Trump They call me Dr. Trump
They call me Dr. Trump They call me Dr. Trump
I got the which you're dreaming of I got the which you're dreaming of
The End The End
The End Crowder.
Miss Wojcicki.
Who got your account back up?
It was probably that half-Asian lawyer of yours.
He's always good at fighting copyright strikes.
We should probably talk in the... Is this what you want, Steven?
To point a crossbow at your precious Susan Wojcicki?
While she sits on a toilet?
I'm just surprised it's not a Walther.
It would be both historically and creatively inaccurate.
You've always wanted me off YouTube, haven't you?
Yes.
But you refuse to let it go.
I respect that.
Even admire it.
You fight for what's yours.
I'd never permanently delete your channel, is that what you fear?
You're far too much fun to permanently take out.
You and your temper tantrums every time we ban your live streams.
You broke them.
What?
I found them in pieces.
Shattered.
Oh.
Your gifts for those mug club fools.
I tried to glue them back together with my own hands.
They're just stupid cups.
Say that word again.
Say what?
You'll kill the only meal ticket you have?
You hit me with false copyright violations when you knew I hadn't violated any rules.
Why?
Hold up.
Let me finish.
We can talk this over in my office.
I can't go back there.
The mugs are in it.
What?
Are you afraid of a few broken cups?
You'll never hit 4 million subscribers.
I will hit 4 million.
I was always going to hit four million.
I just wanted...
to take a s***.
Pfft.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry.
You're not going to get away with this.
You're not going to get away with this.
I'm sorry.
Okay, you want a wall?
Now this, frankly, is a wall.
700 feet tall of solid ice, okay?
Frankly, those Seven Kingdom caravans aren't bringing the drugs and rapes over here.
They don't stand a chance.
That's right.
Winter may be coming, okay?
But this Night Watch is gonna grab it by the pink walker.
And, oh.
Oh no.
Oh no, this isn't good.
What is it, sir?
Looks like the Mexicans brought some of the giants with them.
Giants, sir?
They're five foot two.
Only you can save the seven kingdoms by joining at louderwithcrowder.com slash mug club.
Okay, frankly, it's $99 annually, but only $69 for students, veterans, active military.
That's what, that's such a great deal.
That's what they tell me.
I've given you such a great deal.
I don't say it.
That's what they tell me.
Letter with credit at cop slash buck club said the cake dips
Before we came back I have to silence Rodigan because he half-asian lawyer Bill Richman by the way is in the house
everybody yay He's the only one with liquor here.
You were here.
Brodigan was talking through the break.
I'm like, Brodigan Hall and we're coming back.
He's like, I think I love, it's about squirrels.
I think I'm surprised that you were just talking about him and he appeared.
He did.
He appeared out of nowhere.
Say his name into a mirror three times.
No, I mean, I saw things and I was like, someone's gotta get in here and say some additional things about these kinks.
Have you been watching any of this stream yet?
I've been following it.
I've been following it.
I was at a volunteer event, so.
Oh, good for you.
That's more than Bernie can say.
Ever.
Alright, let's see what she answers here.
The biggest philosophical difference in how you'd approach the job compared to President Obama.
I will accuse people of sexism instead of racism.
Well, we know it's not voting to support babies born alive from botched abortions because they all voted against that.
Think about that for a second.
It's not a woman's right to choose.
Look at the Born Alive Infant Protection Act.
It's in the prep sheet there, Too Cute Maddie.
This was simply guaranteeing health care to babies that had survived abortions.
She voted against it.
These were babies that were already born outside of the womb.
Think about that.
Yeah.
It's consistent.
She's very consistent.
The only person who did that before was the Born Alive Protection Act.
There was something that happened in the Illinois State Senate where babies were being thrown into the wastebaskets and Barack Obama voted against protections for those babies.
One of the few times he didn't vote present.
It literally is one of the only things he voted for.
Right.
All right, sorry, we need to hear her answer here, because apparently it's important.
As a college professor?
Are you high?
All I can do is influence these young minds right in front of me who have no one else to listen to and force them, but it's fine, I have no influence.
And if they don't give me the answer I want to hear, I can fail them.
But not before I drink myself some good ol' frosty suds!
Nothing I love more, kids, than after a hard day of brack!
Baking, college professing, drinking a good old bottle of suds.
Am I right?
You prefer the cannabis?
I went to a cannabis-infused five-course meal once.
Free college!
And he said, no, I'm not going to let this crisis pass and not come away with a consumer agency that makes sure that families never get cheated again.
I will always be grateful to the president for that.
Senator Elizabeth Warren up next, Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders.
We'll be right back.
Oh really, is that it?
That's it.
Okay, thank you.
I took the wrong bathroom break.
Alright, Bill Richmond, what do you expect most from Bernie Sanders?
A lot of grumpiness.
A lot of hunched shoulders, just curled over.
A lot of angry defensiveness about his recent millionaire status.
A lot of do as I say, not as I do type of deal.
A lot of ignoring his past sexual harassment scandals within his own campaign.
I think there's going to be a lot of gloss over that.
Going to be fair, not from Bernie himself.
Not from Bernie himself, no, just the people he's on.
But remember, back when he was interviewed about this in January, he told Anderson Cooper, I was busy running around trying to run the show.
That was his excuse about what was happening on his own watch.
Just remember that if you're out there thinking about this is the guy who's going to save America.
Right.
It's like, hey, what happened over there in Yemen?
WELL I WAS PREOCCUPIED WITH MAKING SURE THAT UNDERWATER BASKET WEAVING WAS ELIGIBLE FOR THE PELL GRANT!
I'm just here to drink beer and listen to the impersonations.
We all know what it is at Burlington College, so they made sure to get that in there.
That's right.
What's funny is I used to see advertisements for, I think it was Champlain College.
Was it Burlington College or Champlain College that his wife worked at?
Burlington.
Was it Burlington?
We used to see advertisements for it when we lived in Montreal all the time.
They had Champlain College and Burlington College and I used to get it confused with the Coat Factory.
Oh yeah.
Because they were all really crappy, low-rent, local commercials.
You were going to say something there, Brody.
One thing I'm interested in is, today in the news, Mayor Pete Butlick... Buttgig is the term we're going with.
You have to stick with, yeah.
Team Unity, Buttgig.
Buttgig told the press that he compared Bernie's...
Supporters to Trump supporters.
Which I actually think is an apt comparison.
But Bernie didn't, because apparently he clapped back.
And I didn't quite hear what the clapback was.
And I'm curious to see if that comes up.
YOU HEAR THAT, BUTTGANG?!
YOU SHOULD BE FAMILIAR WITH THIS, YOU FILTHY SON OF A BITCH!
That was important.
BUTTGANG!
I'm gonna get a drink of beer and listen to the impression.
GET IT?!
Butt kink! Get it? Butt kink! Clap! And butt! Get it? Butt kink!
Hey Bill, show them the limited edition poster that people can get at Liner with Crowder's show.
Alright, so here we go.
It's in here.
You can see a little bit of this.
Look at this, it's the half-Asian lawyer Bill Richmond cracking.
You gotta get the corner up there, Bill.
There you go.
Limited edition.
I would wear that on a t-shirt.
Possibly a hobby jersey.
I HIT IT WITH MY BUTT KING!
DAMMIT!
BUTT KING!
I think he's dying.
with my butt gig!
Goddammit!
Butt gig!
Alright.
Here's...
I think he's dying. He's dying.
What's so funny is people are like, why does your Bernie sound like Gilbert G-
Because the normal Bernie voice when he's talking about human rights is not nearly as fun.
We'll sign this one and we'll give it away as a limited edition here.
We'll have Bill Richmond sign it.
Although you might not be comfortable with that because then someone can mimic your signature.
I'm 100% comfortable.
There are thousands of pleadings with my signature in the public record.
Also, by the way, Hair Puppet, we need to send out one of yours as well.
Also, for some reason, a full DNA scraper.
No idea why.
Yeah.
Done.
Done.
Have you seen those tactical pens with DNA scrapers?
Oh yeah, where you can get, like, the DNA.
Yeah, where you can stab someone and it ensures that you pull out their DNA.
Oh, okay, are they gonna... You're gonna get a clone.
Oh.
Alright, let's make sure.
By the way, tweet out hashtag CrowderCNN live stream.
I don't know what the trending is for if it's Bernie's town hall now.
Here we go.
But, uh, alright, I expect him to talk a lot about inequality and the wealth disparity.
Oh no, it's Chris Cuomo!
When you long for Anderson Cooper, then you know it's pretty bad.
You know it's guacamole.
students and young adults representing more than 30 states nationwide.
And to do this, CNN has...
By the way, can we bring up the drinking game again for people who haven't seen the rules
yet?
Please.
Climate change, Green New Deal, Russian collusion, obstruction of justice, Trump's taxes, 1%
inequality, millionaires, billionaires, democratic socialism, medicare for all, fascism, white
nationalism, right-wing extremism, assault weapons, walls don't work, strength and diversity,
right of immigration, or any subsidiaries thereof.
That's literally three and every question.
So do I drink for all of those right now?
No, no.
Well, you can.
That's good.
If you want.
Watch the way he walks out.
It takes everything he can gather to walk out and not look like Brooks from Shawshank.
Can someone get him a comb?
I wish he'd find a brush in his seat.
This is combs.
Look at that smirk.
Okay.
He manages to hunch even while sitting.
He just needs one more of him and he could be a heckler duo.
He just needs one more of him and he could be a heckler duo.
He's from Massachusetts.
He's a junior at the University of Massachusetts.
He looks like your stereotypical soy-induced liberal.
What do you got, a student?
Hi, Senator.
Hi.
Oh, it sounds like it.
Good.
It's like Rick Moranis had sex with a gayer, younger Rick Moranis.
It's like Rick Moranis had sex with a gayer, younger Rick Moranis.
This is actually really valuable because he's the only one who pulls back the curtain and is saying that, yes, Medicare for All would eliminate private insurance.
Everyone's trying to say, no, no, you'll have a choice.
for an end to private health insurance companies.
How do you plan to phase out these private insurance companies for your new Medicare for all insurance?
This is actually really valuable because he's the only one who pulls back the curtain and is saying that,
yes, Medicare for all would eliminate private insurance.
Because everyone starts saying, no, no, you'll have a choice.
He doesn't want you to have a choice.
We have a dysfunction.
Supposed to.
healthcare system in which 30 million Americans have no health insurance at
all even more are underinsured with high deductibles and co-payments we pay by
far the highest prices in the world for prescription drugs our health care
outcomes in terms of hold on a second Okay, alright.
Let's bring this up, Matt.
We have this here.
No, you can't compare infant mortality because it's not comparable across different nations.
We have a higher standard.
That's why we have a higher infant mortality rate because we actually consider these to be lives lost.
Then he mentions life expectancy.
Well, we have an obesity problem in the United States because we have a problem of overabundance, right?
So this is a chronic problem that people... This is a problem that stems from choice.
This is a problem that stems from too much selection.
He uses those healthcare problems.
Well, why don't you use a litmus test?
Weight times, your survival rates, your mortality rates from life-threatening diseases.
Why don't you look at medical innovation?
You talk about us paying so much for prescription drugs.
Well, how many drugs are we getting from Nicaragua?
How many drugs are we getting from Canada?
How many drugs are we getting from Germany?
It's like when you bitch about the fact that we pay more on national defense than the number 1 through 5 or 1 through 10 nations combined, and then you complain when Donald Trump says, hey, you better start paying your fair share to NATO.
That's because we're covering this for everybody else.
We invent the drugs, we innovate, and we have a system that has better measurable health outcomes than any of these other countries.
Instead, he goes to the one stat right now out there, if you're watching.
Google infant mortality rate across nations.
You will see it is not something that even those in the far left agree can do.
I happen to believe from the bottom of my heart, and I've believed this for my whole adult life, that healthcare is a human right, not a privilege, and the best way to go forward in my view is through Medicare for all.
Did you hear me when I said human rights?!
Is this on?!
I said free shit!
What's his name over there at Fox with the ears?
He loved that shit!
What's his name, not Chef Smith?
The other one!
The other one!
You know who I'm talking about, Tim?
I'm gonna smash you like a salt.
RAT FUCKING BASTARD!
This is the direct impact on women's rights.
I'll be back with the question.
I'll be back with the question.
Is that the same girl?
What was the question?
This is about felons.
How do you think the newest way is to be able to get more democratic votes?
No, Bernie, we don't. Why don't you tell us?
How do you think the newest way is to be able to get more Democratic votes?
It's called re-enfranchising felons.
Give him the vote.
...getting involved in the political process, but not enough.
How long before there's a PAC coming out of Alcatraz?
for convicted terrorists and sex offenders.
The only answer here should be no.
That is not a good look at all.
But to get to your point, how long before there's a PAC
coming out of Alcatraz pushing for,
they have lobbyists pushing for the age of consent to be lowered to 6?
I'm not going to vote for that.
for that.
Guys, let me just key in on this.
From Bernie's own website, he says that he wants to re-enfranchise the right to vote to the 1 in 13 African Americans who have had their vote taken away by felony conviction, paid their debt to society, and deserve to have their rights restored.
I'm actually curious about the rest of the people who are felons, but apparently it will only apply to African Americans, the 1 in 13.
That sounds racist.
Here's something, actually, an interesting legal question.
I was thinking about this earlier.
There are different classifications of felonies.
Certainly.
Correct?
So there should be, obviously.
I don't think that if, let's say, for some reason, at some point, you got caught with a bag of cocaine, or crack, or meth, I know they're going to say it's racist if you don't say crack, I don't necessarily think you should lose your right to vote for all time.
But I do think if you're a violent felon, or if you're a sex offender, and again, that's a different degree of felony, You shouldn't have a say in the laws that we create if you're going to blatantly disregard them in a way that harms other citizens.
Absolutely.
I mean, whether you call it a social contract, whether you look at just the utilitarian, practical aspect of giving someone like that the right to vote again.
Granted, it's going to be a small minority, but in any particular place, I'm really thinking of Californians.
I mean, they're going to have the largest problem with this if that right to vote is re-established.
Won't really change the voting block a whole bunch, though.
California went from blue to really blue!
It's so blue, you've never seen blue!
Isn't Bernie the one who also wants to let felons vote while they're in prison?
Is he?
I don't think so.
I don't know if he said that part.
Look at her, she's like, oh yeah, voting to registered sex offenders, nice!
Sounds like a plan.
Oh, you're right.
There it is.
I was right.
Drink.
Holy crap.
Are you kidding me?
I'll give that a ding.
by saying you think the Boston Marathon bomber should vote not after he pays his
debt to society but while he's in jail. Oh you're right.
There it is. I was right.
Drink. Holy crap. Are you kidding me? I'll give that to Dane.
This will be just another one but I do believe. Look you know this is what I believe.
Do you believe in democracy?
Do you believe that every single American 18 years of age or older who is an American citizen has the right to vote?
No, it should be 30.
He's giving new meaning to this.
You know, you've heard that description of democracy.
It's five wolves voting to eat a sheep.
Yes.
You've heard about that?
He's actually talking about wolves.
He's talking about people who are in prison for violent crimes who should vote while they're in prison.
Here's the thing, I actually think it's an interesting conversation to entertain if they've paid their debt to society and it is not one that directly involved inflicting harm on somebody else.
And I know that all crimes inflict harm on somebody else because you're a burden on the taxpayer, but it's different from a violent crime or sexual assault or something like that.
Certainly.
He's talking about people who've harmed other people who are currently in maximum security prison voting!
When you've got Cuomo looking at you wide-eyed in disbelief, you know you've gone off the reservation, and I don't mean Warren.
Wait, literally?
She actually went with reparations?
for black people, what is?
Good, good question.
Wait, really?
She actually went with reparations.
What I have said is there's legislation, as you know, in the house.
Sheila Jackson.
Oh God, Mark Garrett only gets 25% of the votes.
Hold on, I wanna hear Bill, half-Asian Bill Richmond, if they talk about the railroads.
And that will call for a study of the implications of reparations.
And I think what Kenya is saying is what we all know to be true.
Today in America, in the midst of massive income and wealth disparity, we have another one at the bottom.
That wasn't Obamaism.
Between black and white.
Black and white.
American families.
Less than ever before, by the way, thanks to President Donald Trump.
Isn't it crazy that with, and I don't mean a white guy, Donald Trump is, aside from I get the obvious orange jokes, practically translucent.
I mean, I would love to see him dancing at a wedding.
You'd be the guy you'd pick out the dance floor, like, that's the dad dance!
That being said, under the whitest president possibly ever, That blacks have it better than under the smooth-talking half-black guy.
That's really gotta grind his gears.
Oh, by the way, he just talked about the wealthiest 1%.
Oh, he put in white.
I was not expecting that.
Hold on a second.
Here's my question, Bernie.
This is why reparations don't work.
Do you have the first generation Latina woman paying reparations who had nothing to do with American slavery?
What about an Asian-American who came here 30 years ago, who owns a bodega?
Who pays for what?
Are you just talking about white people paying for slavery?
In which case, how is that not a discriminatory law?
And by the way, is it only white people who you can prove are descendants of slave owners?
And do the reparations only go to black people who you can prove were descendants of actual slaves?
And by the way, also not descendants of slave owners, because that went on in both communities there.
A lot of people don't really necessarily know that.
So who pays for the reparations?
Oh gosh, this guy drools and it goes straight on down into his underpants.
I can't claim that.
That's an old Harlan Williams joke.
That's good.
Hey, that's me.
Mentioned in good company.
Trump.
We can't pronounce it.
We can't pronounce it with that overbite.
which has given the Russians and Chinese a chance to influence such regions.
What will your trade policy be in such regions compared to Trump?
Good question.
Trump.
Look, you're right.
We live in a global economy.
We can't pronounce it.
I think all of us can.
We can't pronounce it without overbiting.
He's having a difficulty.
Looks like Milhouse.
Have you noticed that Bernie can't move his hands without his hips?
Damn it, I'm gonna ask my question.
Mr. Gordon, in the context of your question...
Have you noticed that Bernie can't move his hands without his hips?
In the whole context.
He's a Latin dancer.
Well, I was gonna say, his hips don't lie, it's the rest of them.
Reverse Shakira.
No, his hips do.
Although fewer people have lost their jobs in the last couple years in modern American history.
By the way, like we talked about a statistic, you can bring that up there to Q-Man.
Who have lost their jobs because profitable corporations in this country shut down because they weren't making enough
money Although fewer people have lost their jobs in the last
couple years in modern American history. By the way, like we talked about a statistic
You can bring that up there to humanity. I think we had it earlier on. If you didn't watch. Fewer layoffs, fewer
Fewer firings.
More people are quitting and seeking out new, higher paying employment than since they've been keeping record of these statistics.
That's a huge one.
Not only do we have 3.9% last I checked on employment, not only do we have highest job force participation rate that we've had in decades, not only do we have the biggest job surplus that we've had since we've been keeping record of these statistics, but we also have fewer firings and layoffs.
How does that make sense when you talk about the big corporations?
Just don't forget that when Bernie sold his best-selling book and made millions of dollars, it was from a non-corporation.
Right.
Was it self-published?
It was from my friend Simon and his brother Schuster.
for being here. Your tax returns recently revealed that you are in fact a millionaire.
How would you respond to concerns that your financial status undermines your authority
as someone who has railed against millionaires and billionaires?
As opposed to every other democrat who rails against millionaires?
That's a good question. No it's not.
And here it is. Alright, you ready?
He just winked at her.
Hashtag me too!
Hashtag me too!
He winked at her!
That's the only reason.
What about starting a business that benefited people internationally, you prick?
I'd prefer to stick with purely literary accomplishments!
Is that how you draw the line at corporation?
You run for public office and use that leverage to write a book about how you're going to run for public office again?
What if I started a business, I don't know, that employs 50 people in the Midwest making chairs or burger patty machines?
Did I stutter?
Did I start? Only literary licensing!
But I have and will continue in the in this campaign to fight for progressive taxation.
In other words, whether it is Bernie Sanders or your family or anybody else.
Did I fall asleep and wake up in Bizarro World?
Are people not aware of the marginal tax rates in this country right now?
It's clown world, clown world.
I really don't think they are.
We're doing phenomenally well.
Yeah. Honk, honk.
What are you looking at, Bill?
I'm looking up the publishing profits of Macmillan, which is the publisher.
Oh, is that the publisher?
Oh, very nice.
Let's take it quick so we get an Irishman.
Let me guess.
with the tax loopholes and the tax breaks that large private corporations currently
receive.
Do you happen to know, anybody here happen to know how much Amazon paid in taxes last
year?
Let me guess.
Zero.
Yeah.
This is something that he says to the economically illiterate.
He is worth the most amount of money on paper.
Amazon didn't start turning a profit until, was it Bill?
I want to say the last half decade.
Maybe Matty can bring that up.
Yeah, I mean it was pretty recent.
Multiple decades in.
Right.
This idea that, this is what they just talked about, if it's a corporation that brings in $2 billion in gross revenue, but they spend $2.1 billion, or they're still running at a deficit, you should be familiar with that term, Bernie, because they've been doing this for a long time and investing all of their money into, let's say, I don't know, inventory for the next year, you see with marketing, with Amazon, it took a very, very long time for them to become profitable at all.
By the way, here's something else.
We're going to do a whole segment on this.
When they talk about big corporations, look at the top five corporations in the world.
Big corporations.
They all support Democrats, overwhelmingly.
You've got Apple, Google and YouTube, Facebook, Amazon.
We look at your taxes, went up, but they didn't go up proportionally.
I'm not coming after you about what you gave in your donations.
My question is this.
Having the experience of having a lot more money and deciding what you wanted to do with
it, did it give you new perspective about how people with more money feel about the
government or someone like you forcing policies that demand them to give amounts as opposed
As a matter of fact, if you read those tax returns, you will find that.
I think people have said it.
That you gave less than 3% to charity, you prick.
We need to go to accountants and figure out how we can possibly pay the lowest amount.
Taxes probably pay more.
Probably.
Not for sure.
And in case you were wondering, Macmillan, according to Ollar.com, made about $397 million in revenue last year.
So, definitely just the little guys.
Championing the little guys.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm pretty sure I had a meeting with them and they turned down my book proposal.
That's not even a joke.
in 2011. He booted me. Now you know which ones they want.
Yeah.
...stress is off my family. That is a great... Two percent.
And I have spent my entire life and hopefully will conclude my political life in the White
House trying to make sure that every person in this country does not have to deal with
the stress of whether they can afford to pay the electric bill, whether they're gonna have
health care, whether they can send their kids to child care.
So that is the difference that I've learned. You know what? Wait, is child care now a...
Human right? ...child care. They were talking about that.
Even though all the studies show that they want to put a cap on child care costs that
people can put. And studies have actually shown...
Actually from my home province of Quebec, I think it's actually in the prep sheet document, if you type in Quebec Maddie, that they're actually harmful to children because people use them when you remove those caps, they basically use it to raise their children and they have very bad, they have significantly negative outcomes for children who are in these basically public childcare facilities.
that you have changed your mind about recently?
Oh.
Nothing.
I've been consistent for... Nah, just kidding.
I think I am paying more attention right now to foreign policy.
And I think I was rightfully criticized the last time I ran that I didn't pay as much attention as I might.
And I think, you know, the economic issues, whether or not people have healthcare, whether they have decent paying jobs, whether we deal with climate change, are enormously important.
But you know what?
We've got to look at the United States' role in the world as well.
I used to not focus on foreign policy.
And so now I'm using it as a springboard to go back to domestic policy.
Do you remember how many times I talked about Norway?
That is my knowledge.
That's all I know.
That is all I know.
For the first time in 45 years under the War Powers Act, it has been successfully used.
We did it in the Senate, we did it in the House.
Sadly, tragically, Trump vetoed it.
But to answer your question, I think I think a little bit more about foreign policy issues than I previously did.
Like the Scandinavian model.
Really?
Do you pay attention to NATO?
Hey, hey Bernie!
We have a lot more of CNN's special democratic...
Hey!
Hey Bernie!
I asked you about NATO!
This is one thing I never want to talk about.
How do you pay for all this?
The way these other countries pay for all this.
And by the way, we still have the highest median income of anywhere in the world outside of Luxembourg.
How do they pay for all this when they talk about how we pay more for drugs in other countries?
It's because we effectively, ironically, we're subsidizing it, not to the tune of the government, but our private sector, our taxpayers, our consumers end up subsidizing it.
For these other countries.
And by that I mean, we pay for it privately.
Our company is the ones that have to go through the FDA and have to go through this approval process.
And they say, oh, it only costs $18 to make this drug.
Yeah, but the first pill costs $18 billion to bring to market.
The first pill costs $18 billion.
It's not just about the actual powder, the actual substance that goes into the drug.
And then these other countries have government subsidized prescriptions, like we had in Quebec.
And by the way, it took a long time in Quebec, where I was raised, for us to have Uh, any kind of $7 generics.
Because we don't have the same kind of laws.
So, again, the American, the power of the American consumer benefits the entire global economy just like the power of the American military benefits all global safety.
And they can't say it because they don't believe that the United States is the greatest country in the world.
They cannot say it.
Here is something.
I want you to do this, okay?
Next time you're driving through a neighborhood or you're going on a road trip, Anytime you see an American flag.
I would bet my life, if I had to, gun to my head, it's a Republican.
It's a conservative.
Go knock on the door and ask them.
You might get shot, because they're gun owners, or look for bumper stickers on their car.
This is usually all it takes.
If you see an American flag in a driveway or in someone's lawn, look at the bumper stickers.
If you see any, they're almost invariably conservative.
Liberals do not put American flags out in the yards.
They don't.
That's why they mock it.
They make fun of it all the time.
They make fun of it all the time.
Oh, waving the red, white, and blue.
I know we have to.
Well, hold on a second.
We have the highest income.
We have the best economy in the world right now.
We have the most powerful military might that the world has ever seen.
And by the way, we do what you guys bitch about in nation building, which is a costly endeavor, not profitable, because it's the opposite of an empire.
That's something I find so funny.
We're like, the United States is this evil empire.
We're spending too much overseas.
Do you know what it... Do you know how... Come again, stupid?
Do you know how an empire works?
When the English colonized, were they going like, oh, well, I don't know.
We're going to have to invest over here for about...
200 years and just hope we recoup it!
No!
They just took your stuff.
They cannot acknowledge this about the United States.
That is their big issue.
Think about this right now.
Americans, the left is not patriotic.
And it used to be something that was kind of simplified, that people would say is reductive.
But right now in this era, I don't think it's ever been more clear.
They are cheering, for them to be successful, they have to have a president who's colluded with a foreign power.
They even said it was like, Oh, it's bad news.
Bad news.
Bad news?
Bad news for the Democrats!
It's good news!
Bad news for us that our president actually has the best interests of Americans at heart.
Oh, that's too bad.
Yeah, when the only thing you can think about is trying to denigrate the country in order to get votes.
That's the whole point.
It's too bad we were wrong for two years straight.
Yeah, I mean, look at the history of America since Bretton Woods.
We had an option at that point, right after World War II, to go in the empire building business.
Everyone said, everyone even thought, Germany thought, Russia thought, America's going to establish an American empire.
And when you look at what actually happened after Bretton Woods, and the investment that went into Central Europe to a former power, and look at all the amazing things that are coming out of war-torn Germany.
Look at all the amazing things that are coming out of other European nations that benefited from American might.
Not just American power that came in and took over or did anything like that.
We made a deliberate decision to be able to empower these nations and now we're essentially saying take it all away.
Right.
Don't help them.
Don't let anyone build.
Don't let anyone grow.
And it just ignores history.
That being said, was kind of a little bit of a 180 from the Treaty of Versailles.
We were a little bit We were a little bit extreme on that one.
Lessons learned!
Lessons learned!
Don't punish somebody on the international stage, or you might get Hitler.
Public whooping's not great.
We understand.
Hang them, don't whoop them.
All right, let's see a question.
...say on this stage earlier, you know, there is no political inconvenience exception to the United States Constitution.
Her argument was, if any other human being in this country had done what's documented in the Mueller report, they would be arrested and put in jail.
And she's obviously referencing this president.
Do you agree that it is time for impeachment proceedings?
Where am I?
Let's see.
What I agree is that we have the most dangerous president Not if you'd have your way.
Can you obstruct justice if you didn't commit a crime?
Not if you'd have your way.
Somebody who the Mueller report said basically left the question open, which the Congress
has got to explore, as whether or not he obstructed justice, a very serious crime.
So what's your answer?
So what's my view is twofold.
Can you obstruct justice if you didn't commit a crime?
If someone is investigating you for a crime and you scream that you didn't commit the
crime, is that obstruction?
No, you have to actually take action.
I mean, the elements of the crime of obstruction of justice actually lay out the things you have to do.
You have to actually take action.
To be someone who says, I didn't do it, that would mean every single person who's ever hired a lawyer or pleaded not guilty was obstructing justice.
Yeah, I mean, that's not how it works.
Like, you've got to meet the elements, and when you don't meet the elements, you get the Mueller Report.
Well, he did send out some angry tweets.
So let's just say someone like, let's say a police officer with a search warrant came into my house, and I flipped him the bird and called their mother a whore.
Would even that, that's obviously more extreme than anything Donald Trump would do, but would that even be considered obstruction?
No.
Okay, alright.
So I'm pretty clear now on what obstruction is.
Alright.
I just wanted to make sure.
Now whether you get taste for it, I don't know, it's a different question.
We're not talking about combating climate change.
We're not talking about sexism and racism and homophobia and all of the... That's what goes on with your voting base in Folsom Prison.
I like how he's seeding it for, like, if he wins, he's gonna be like, but remember when I said that these things are not impeachment.
Like, just remember guys... You need to take three drinks right now because he just said sexism, racism, homophobia.
Everyone, see it?
This is the drinking game for people who don't know.
Hashtag CrowderCNN livestream.
This is the problem with the drinking game where, like, all 20 of them give me one sentence at the end of the debate.
Yeah, it could be.
So you have no answer twice.
Either way, he's asking good questions.
now.
You know, that is, that's my view.
All right, so you don't know where you are on impeachment yet, but what if you reverse
your argument?
So you have no good one.
Mueller said he couldn't come to a conclusion.
He can't exonerate, but he can't prosecute.
And then you had the AG and the deputy.
He only has good questions.
No obstruction.
You got your answer twice.
Why do you fart taste like bacon?
Oh, that's what?
The issue of obstruction, no.
What Mueller said is that was an open question.
And that is something that the House of Representatives in the Senate should take a very... And the AG and the Deputy AG said no obstruction.
Well, but I would rather have an objective investigation done by the House.
Alright, next question.
Samantha Frankel... What?
You say rather have an objective investigation?
Hey look, someone good looking asking a question.
That's an event.
Should we drink to that?
No.
That'd be nice.
Look at him smiling.
That'd be nice. What's your question? Hi Senator Sanders, my father's family left Soviet Russia in 1979. She's
Russian. Fleeing from some of the very same socialist policies that you seem eager to implement in this country.
Look at him smiling. Democratic Socialism. With the failures of socialism in nearly every country that has
tried it. Zing! Whoa! I told, look, come on, I said, the first attractive person and she's a conservative!
I should have seen that coming!
Is it your assumption that I support or believe in authoritarian communism that existed in the Soviet Union?
I don't.
It never happened.
I opposed it.
I believe in a vigorous democracy.
But you have asked me the question about democratic socialism.
Fair question.
And let me answer it.
Why?
Why?
If we doubled everyone's wealth right now, that disparity would be worse.
Is that bad?
In the United States, there is something fundamentally wrong when we have three families owning more
wealth than the bottom half of American society.
If we doubled everyone's wealth right now, that disparity would be worse.
Is that bad?
Equality isn't the problem, it's poverty.
Something very wrong.
Alright, that's like five drinks.
All new income today is going to the top 1%.
No, it's not.
All right.
That's like five drinks.
And something is equally wrong when we have a corrupt political system made even worse
by this disastrous Citizens United Supreme Court decision.
Next time we do a live stream.
No, hold on a second.
Hold on a second.
Hold on a second.
There's so much bullshit in this answer.
First off, where he's talking about the top, the new income made 49% goes to the top 1%.
Okay, let's talk about income inequality while we're talking about this, even though my problem is with poverty, not inequality.
And you won't hear Bernie Sanders talk about poverty because no system has pulled more people out of poverty than the free enterprise system, capitalist system, certainly not even socialist utopias, including non-socialist utopias like Denmark or Sweden, who, by the way, those citizens American Swedes, American Danes, American Danes have it better than Danes in Denmark.
70-something percent of Americans will be in the top 20% in their lifetime.
Over 50% will be in the top 10% of earners in their lifetime.
Because class is mobile.
Class is transient here in the United States.
That's what people need to understand here.
When he talks about a corrupt political system, what could possibly be more corrupt than a system that allows people in positions of government to become multi-millionaires while everyone else has to play by different rules?
He was saying something else that I wanted to address.
What else did he say there that was really pissing me off?
Everything.
We got lice.
He was talking about something else that I forgot about.
40% of whites are going to the top 1%?
basically it was very profound speech toward the end of World War II.
He said, you know, we got a great constitution.
We got lice.
Bill of Rights protects your freedom of religion, freedom of the family.
He was talking about something else that I forgot about.
But you know what it doesn't protect?
It doesn't protect and guarantee you economic rights.
40% of money going to the top 1%?
So Samantha, let me be very honest with you.
I believe that in a democratic, civilized society, healthcare is a human right.
Government can make that.
I believe that.
Thank you.
I'm going to go get a drink.
I'm going to get a drink.
I'm going to get a drink.
I'm not hiring bleachers.
This just shows you that Bernie Sanders has no idea as to what a fundamental human right is.
A human right, okay by the way, is something constitutionally, which he has no concept of, it's pretty clear, is not granted to you by government.
Otherwise, any commodity, goods or service, could be a right.
Just like in Germany, they declared the internet to be a human right.
No, human rights are inalienable rights that are given to you by God, and they are simply recognized by government.
Things like freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, freedom of religion, the freedom to self-protection, the second amendment.
Healthcare is not a human right.
College is not a human right.
And by the way, you know how else you know that he doesn't understand the concept of human rights?
The only way you forfeit basic human rights, which are given to you by God as a birthright, is when you irreparably harm someone else, like in the incident of a violent crime or some kind of a serious sex offense.
And by the way, he doesn't think those people should forfeit those rights to vote and elect him your next president while they are currently serving in a maximum security prison.
So rights, health care, college, free income, free you name it, and you don't lose those
rights even if you rape and assault your next door 14 year old neighbor.
IT'S WHAT THE FOUNDING...
What do you feel differently about now? I was reviewing what CNN's K file had come up taking a look. It's so odd. I
feel like when they take you to a break, Bernie goes into the powder room and goes into a half coma and Cuomo just
like masturbates looking at himself in a mirror.
here in the seventies.
No, but hold on.
What did you say?
in the 70s.
Hold on, hold on.
Gaga, Google.
That's right.
That's exactly what it sounds like.
What I'm saying is that you've changed.
Well, wait a minute.
You know, first thought, you know, he hears me criticizing media all the time and he gets
nervous about it, right?
One of many things that makes me nervous.
All right.
Also, the sexual assault that took place in your campaign headquarters, I'm not going
to lie.
Is it going to nationalize any of the industry in the city of Burlington, Vermont?
I don't think so.
Congressman for 16 years.
I said what I said, and that is I want to live in a nation in which all people in the
wealthiest nation in the history of the world can have a decent standard of living.
I'm not talking about everybody owning a big fancy house or a Cadillac or anything like that.
Can we just focus on the fact that he likes to trumpet that we're the wealthiest?
He doesn't seem to say that that's a bad thing, but he wants to ignore how we got to be the wealthiest.
I know!
It's just like, well, we are the wealthiest, and so let's make sure we quickly become not.
Right.
You talk about a standard of living.
Who has a higher standard of living than the United States?
And by the way, not these subjective polls that they use.
That's why you have health care ranks higher in Cuba than the United States.
And Michael Moore, by the way, you think that's absurd.
Michael Moore cited it in Sicko.
They trumpeted this as a look.
Even Cuba has better health care than the United States because they're going by polls.
They're not going by objective parameters like mortality.
And I'm not saying infant mortality rates, but overall mortality rates.
Looking at life-threatening diseases or looking at needing cutting-edge new experimental healthcare technology, your best chance of surviving a serious disease is living in the United States.
Period.
Whether you're black, white, rich, or poor, you have a better chance making it here with some kind of a life-threatening disease, ailment, or incident than anywhere else.
And the highest income.
And the biggest GDP.
And the lowest unemployment rate.
What is this guy grinning from ear to ear for?
Is he the inspiration for Will Ferrell and Elf?
No, that's Michael Cera's little cousin.
Senator Sanders, you've been an outspoken critic of the Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu,
yet Israel is also one of America's most important allies in the world.
Given that Prime Minister Netanyahu just won another term in office, how do you plan to
maintain the strong U.S.-Israel relationship despite those critiques?
Look, what I have said all over again, I repeat to you, I don't know.
I don't know.
I happen to be a young man.
I spent the night.
Give it a wedgie.
You guys already had the swirly.
Clearly.
I have family in Israel.
I am not anti-Israel.
But the fact of the matter is that Netanyahu is a right-wing politician.
Right-wing.
I drank right-wing.
No, he said white-wing!
of the right wing will extremely unfail me.
By the way, you know who might be viewed as more right wing than Netanyahu?
Hamas.
Using their standards, you know, because they assume anyone who's racist or wants to commit genocide is right-wing, which of course is actually not a part of the conservative platform, but using their standard.
He's trying to talk about right-wing Netanyahu.
If you're going to talk about people who are racist, people who simply want to slaughter people because of their creed or ethnicity, lineage, I put Hamas up there.
Yes.
Right at the top.
It's right at the top.
Yes.
And unlike Donald Trump and Netanyahu, Hamas has a track record of actually doing these things.
Imagine if Donald Trump put the slaughter of the entire Sanders bloodline in his charter.
Put it up on his website for 2020.
Just add it.
That's Hamas.
Right.
and to exist in peace and security and not be subjected to terrorist attacks.
But the United States needs to deal not just with Israel but with the Palestinian people as well.
The Palestinian people who elected Hamas?
Is that who we're talking about?
Yes.
Oh, okay.
Just want to make sure.
Yeah, I'm not a big fan of them.
Thank you, Chris.
Hi, Senator.
With mass shootings becoming more rampant in this country, what is your stance on putting armed guards or heightened police presence inside of schools?
I'm against it, but let me also... Unless they are convicted felons.
Then we let them decide.
Then we should furlough them to the nearest grade school!
We need a lot of young people to get involved in criminal justice and to help us transform a criminal justice system that is not working right now.
broken right now. And one component, Nicholas, and I'm really delighted to hear that you're
going.
We're delighted to hear that you re-upholstered the couch to make that jacket.
To get involved in criminal justice.
He didn't say he wanted to go into criminal justice. He said he wanted to be a cop.
And help us transform a criminal justice system that is not working right now. Let me just
give you a few examples. As Americans, none of us, I think, are proud that we have more
people in jail than any other major country on Earth.
We have more people in jail than China does.
Disproportionately.
In China, they kill them.
I mean...
I guess that's a good example.
Why do you jail them and feed them?
It's so expensive.
Yeah.
Kaboom!
They had the same family to build.
Too much work.
Wow, Bernie.
By the way, he's also using, when we're talking about this, China's not necessarily straightforward about their books.
Yeah, I'm pretty confident that those numbers are a little cut.
It's like Ahmadinejad saying there's never been a gay in Iran.
It's like never one.
Not one!
There's never been a not a single one!
not a one.
Many lives have been destroyed because of criminal records associated with possession of
marijuana.
And I'm delighted to see, not only that state after state are legalizing marijuana, criminalizing marijuana, but also seeing some communities... Wait, what?
It's not true, this idea that people...
Okay, in Texas, which is not legalized marijuana, you've seen those billboards for the pot lawyer with a big old pot leaf?
It reduces serious possessions down to misdemeanors that are less than a traffic ticket.
At one point, sure, maybe.
But even then, if you go back looking at Woodstock, they were smoking out in the open in the public.
This idea that people's lives have been destroyed because they had a joint.
It's just not true.
Now if you've been running a criminal... and I don't think that anyone should go to prison for pot.
I don't.
And I don't think their life should be destroyed for pot.
Black.
White.
Period.
Rich.
Poor.
I get it.
Understood.
But it's dishonest to act as though that is why our prisons are overpopulated in this country.
We are not locking people up for single instance pot infractions.
That's not what happens.
As is too often the case, the first response.
I mean, we are if it's 20,000 people.
Yeah, that's true.
I mean, just to keep the record.
Yet another reason to build the wall.
Did he answer his question about armed guards in schools?
Bet you she's not a conservative.
That is so polarized. What will you do as president to reach across the aisle to compromise with the GOP?
Well, uh, I have destroyed them throughout my political career
In fact, it may surprise some people that there were some years when I was in the U.S.
House of Representatives that I passed more amendments in a given year than any other congressman precisely because I reached across the aisle and found common ground with Republicans who agreed with me on a particular issue.
I mentioned a moment ago that I was very proud.
I don't care.
I'm so tired of this whole idea of reaching across the aisle.
He said he reached across the aisle and then helped people, like the ones that agreed with him.
That's not reaching across the aisle.
I don't care. I'm so tired of this whole idea of reaching across the aisle.
But I'm gonna reach across the aisle to grab his decrepit old liver-spotted hand?
No, no, it's already in your pants. Don't worry.
But also the thing is...
I reached across the aisle right into your pants.
I don't know the exact numbers, but Republicans and Democrats work together all the time.
All the time.
I'm on a bunch of press release mailing lists, and my inbox all the time is, like, Republican Senator working with these Democrats on probably about 80% of the bills.
It's just, you know, there are a couple issues we have some disagreements on.
Yeah.
Hold on a second.
By the way, CNN sucks.
$20 off if you join Mug Club.
CNN sucks is the promo code.
CrowderCNNLivestream is the hashtag for Twitter.
Let us know if you want us to continue with Kamala Harris and Pete ButtGig.
I don't want to be here.
But if you guys need us here, we'll consider it.
Let us know.
And of course, send us your screenshot of you joining up at Mug Club.
I'm wondering why I keep answering my phone, because so far this year you've made me watch the Oscars, and Amy Schumer's special, and now CNN for two hours.
You have to be here.
Try doing it for 16.
I have to be here every time.
Do that.
Get on the Mug Club, let's do it.
We'll stick around for Kamala.
Stick around for Kamala.
He's vilifying pharmaceutical companies again.
And yet one in five Americans can't afford the medicine they need.
They are incredibly greedy.
The only reason he's still alive at 7,000 years old is for pharmaceutical companies to bite the hand that feeds you!
Come on!
We have some very specific ideas to do that.
To cut prescription drug costs in this country in half so that the American people are not paying any more than people around the world are paying.
All right, let's hold it right there.
That cannot be done, by the way.
That cannot be done.
It cannot be done because other countries rely on us to innovate, create the drugs, bring them to market so that they can subsidize them through the government and their citizens pay less.
That's what happened in Canada where I was raised.
That's what happens across the sea.
It cannot be done.
We cannot reduce the costs of pharmaceuticals in the United States to that of other countries because we are the ones who bear the costs and bring it to market.
It can't be done, and if it were even attempted to be implemented, you would watch these pharmaceutical companies.
By the way, we love to vilify until we have some kind of a serious disease.
Think about the last time you were seriously sick.
You didn't want the Costanga Root.
You said, give me the industrial heavy-duty shit, right?
We love to vilify them until we actually need them.
Those pharmaceutical companies will leave so fast if they believe that it's not going to be worth their while to invest in a new innovative drug.
You know what is a good example of that?
A new drug.
Ketamine.
It's a club drug, right?
It's the first antidepressant to have been brought to market in a long time.
You have to go to a clinic and they do it as a nasal spray.
It's a very low dose right now.
They say it's for people who are treatment resistant in depression.
This is one of the most promising drugs that's come along.
I think, if I'm not mistaken, I don't know, you can maybe research this.
Matty, I don't have the numbers in front of me, but I was reading an article on this.
I want to say in 30 years, there really haven't been any revolutionary sort of new products in the antidepressant market.
And I know before people get into the whole antidepressant pharmaceutical, let's just assume for a second that depression is a thing for people.
This is a new drug right now that, of course, it would be incredibly difficult to bring a lot of these drugs to market when it comes to other countries.
I mean, there's no question that This policy could last for, let's call it, the next drug cycle.
That's it.
Because once you decide that you're going to kill the golden goose, which is what this is, you're going to chop them up and you're going to say, pharmaceutical profits go down the tubes.
You want to research?
You want to invest in future research?
Nah, don't worry about it.
The generics will pay for it.
But the generic companies aren't the ones that are doing the research.
And so ultimately, you're going to get five years, maybe you even get ten years down the road of having really, really, really cheap drugs.
But you're only going to have cheap drugs of the ones that exist now.
You'll never have the innovation.
So if you go back ten years and you say, okay, what if we implemented this policy ten years ago?
Let's say we did it in 2009 or 1999.
What you would have said then is there would have been a finite life at which the ability to innovate again would have ended because you would have no one else to fund it.
Because no one else has the collective power to do this other than corporations.
Are corporations sometimes guilty of doing things wrong?
Absolutely.
We've seen it up and down.
But having some regulation doesn't mean you have to destroy it and that's what Bernie is saying.
That somehow we can kill the goose and continue to lay the golden eggs.
And it simply won't happen.
And it's amazing to me, too, that we absolve the FDA of any responsibility.
You have drugs out there right now.
You have treatments that could treat, I mean, myriad illnesses.
I don't know exactly what is on that shelf.
But drugs that people with life-threatening illnesses right now would gladly take, even though it causes slight stomach discomfort.
You know, these things sit on the FDA shelf forever.
Forever.
There is so much red tape.
And this is something that's, again, this is the difference, the fundamental difference in a worldview.
Yes.
Can corporations be corrupt?
Of course.
Can individual business owners have nefarious motives?
Absolutely.
That being said, the damage that they can do is not nearly as significant as that in a centralized government.
Guess what it takes for the FDA to cause irreparable damage and millions of deaths?
It just takes one corrupt person there.
On the right spot, on the right board, or in the right position.
Guess what it takes to starve thousands or millions of citizens?
It just takes one bad leader under a socialist or communist regime.
You know, this idea, I've talked about this before.
A mouth guard.
Do you know how a mouth guard works?
So what it does is it disperses shock among the teeth.
A lot of people think it's like padding, it's like punching a pillow.
What happens is if you hit someone on a mouth guard, it's almost impossible for you to knock out teeth because that rubber disperses the shock across all of your teeth.
So it mitigates the damage from all that vibrational force, all that kinetic energy from going to one tooth.
That's what free enterprise is.
That's what capitalism is.
It's this idea that human beings are inherently flawed and so we put a mouth guard on it so that if somebody makes a mistake, it isn't happening at the hands of one giant centralized power that can screw everybody.
Amazon, right now, if we found out was a part of one of the biggest scandals, couldn't be as damaging to the American public as the federal government if it were the scope that Bernie Sanders wanted.
Okay, let's hear what this guy has to say.
I don't think so.
I think what our campaign is about is justice.
It's a fight for justice.
Economic justice, social justice, racial justice, environmental justice.
Hey Johnny boy, I'm gonna need you to come in and pour another beer.
beer.
Make it a double.
Yeah, I'm out.
... like Amazon and Netflix and General Motors, but nothing in federal taxes.
Next slide, we need Maximus.
The Modit.
just like massive tax breaks to families like the Co-op, which is one of the wealthiest
families in America.
So I think what we need is a fair and progressive tax system in order to raise the revenue that
we need to help working families in this country and deal with the very serious problem of
income and wealth inequality.
Bring it in!
Don't try to avoid the camera there, Johnny Boy.
You've already been seen on camera.
Alright, thank you.
Drinking rules.
Get out of here.
Oh, shit.
Alright, just leave it there.
I'll pour the rest of it.
Tim gave me a head.
That's enough.
Do you need something else?
Hold on a second.
Alright, just leave it there for the rest of it.
AHHHH! Tim gave me a head.
That's enough.
This is a higher class- Do you need something else? Hold on a second. Bill, just
give him the bottle.
...so, you know, I do believe that...
...very well-to-do people...
Did you realize people can see you, so when you run around like a little girl, just walk with purpose.
No, that makes him invisible.
He's prancing like the bananas in pajamas, trying to not wake up the roommate.
I love how Bill's getting full bottle service right now.
profitable corporations.
Driving up the deficit was an absolute outrage.
If elected president, I will rescind those tax breaks.
Yeah.
Rescind those tax breaks that every American has benefited from.
There you go.
Get yourself a little sip.
tonight arguably goes a little further. She has a piece in her plan that is about debt
forgiveness. If your family makes a hundred grand or less, you can forgive up to $50,000
in student loans, sliding scale. Do you support her plan?
I really haven't studied it.
But I think Elizabeth and I end up agreeing on a whole lot of issues.
Because I didn't have water in the green room.
Because we don't punish people for the crime of getting a higher education.
What?
I like how he describes higher education as a crime, but that he doesn't want to punish people.
It's not any kind of nuance other than that.
But you do want to punish people for being fiscally responsible who paid their way through college.
You want to punish them if they're making over $100,000 a year because, let's say Bill, they went to law school or medical school because you should pay for somebody who has a feminist studies degree.
Your bet sounds accurate.
Your exact point was what I was about to say.
I often think about how I should have studied feminists instead.
Yeah.
Big market for that in the Asian community.
Huge.
Huge.
Ah, drown him in a bathtub, the hell's the difference?
Tiger moms are like, feminists.
I eat feminists for breakfast.
That's how my mom talks.
She talks like an old 1960s detective?
Yes.
Your mom's Kojak?
Yes, she does.
I'm gonna jam pianos in your neck.
Who loves you, baby?
Do me a favor there, young Billy.
Dress your pants.
She does call me Billy.
Perfume you bitches.
Dress Kojak on this.
in a very, very significant way.
And then people say, well, how are you going to pay for that?
Well, get back, gets back to the question that the young man asked a moment ago.
Yeah.
Higher taxes?
When Wall Street was bailed out by Congress to the tune of at least $1 trillion,
don't tell me we don't have enough money in this country to substantially reduce student debt.
We don't have enough money.
That wasn't good.
That wasn't a good thing to happen.
That wasn't a good thing.
By the way, you know how the Tea Party started?
It was Rick Santelli who ranted on the trading room floor about the bailout.
It was conservatives who complained about it, long before Occupy Wall Street.
Remember?
We were there for it.
Andrew Breitbart, who they accused of being a racist, he came to prominence with the Tea Party, and back then so was Michelle Malkin, because they were complaining about the Wall Street bailout.
Conservatives have never been pro-Wall Street bailout.
As much as I hate the phrase red pilling, that was basically what the bailout was.
A lot of people who are normally conservatives became conservatives because, wait a second, this is crap.
Hold on a second, what just happened with her?
Climate change.
Climate change, drink.
I've got to tell you that a number of years ago I introduced the most sweeping legislation to combat climate change in the history of this country.
Yeah, but it doesn't ban cow farts.
Here's where we are, you know this.
In other words, I don't.
In other words, I don't.
Some months ago, made it clear that if we do not significantly transform our energy
system away from fossil fuel to energy efficiency and sustainable energies, this planet and
our country will suffer irreparable damage.
Go back and watch Inconvenient Truth.
Look at their timelines then.
Go back and read the climate predictions.
We have it actually at lottowithbrenner.com.
I think you can go read the top five climate predictions that didn't come true.
By the way, not only An Inconvenient Truth, afterwards there was the Leonardo DiCaprio film with the polar bears, which was another prediction.
Horrible.
Look at their predictions with the Great Lakes, which we've talked about.
The Golden Compass?
By the way, you did away with all nuclear power in your home state of Vermont, and your carbon emissions went up, just like Germany moving to renewables, in comparison to France, who I think it's, what, 70-something percent is nuclear energy?
Here's one thing no one wants to talk about nuclear energy.
It has less waste than solar or wind.
It requires less acreage.
It has far less carbon emissions.
And it is far more... If you look at the... Do you have any idea the mining materials that are needed for solar panels?
No.
And by the way, it's not profitable to recycle.
Even the biggest proponents of solar panels understand that it's actually cheaper to get new materials.
Just like right now we have a problem with recycling because China isn't buying the crap that we're trying to sell them anymore to recycle.
To recycle glass, for example, glass bottles, do you realize for that to be cost effective?
Recycling glass has to be cheaper than sand.
Okay, so now let's talk about solar panels.
What is it?
They have nickel.
There are all kinds of rare precious metals, not to mention the kinds of batteries, which, by the way, Bill Gates invested over $1 billion in solar and wind and said, we don't have anything close to resembling the kind of battery capacities or capabilities that we need right now to be able to store long-term solar or wind energy.
You know what does work?
Nuclear energy.
And the carbon emissions are far, far lower.
France, nuclear energy, carbon emissions went down.
Germany went to solar wind, their prices doubled, and their carbon emissions went up.
There's a tale of two countries.
And right now, unfortunately, because of political pressure, they might be doing away with nuclear energy.
There is less waste, less waste, it's cleaner, it's safer.
Do you know how many deaths there have been from nuclear?
Think about this.
No, okay, think about Fukushima.
There were over 200 deaths.
It was from the evacuation, from people panicking.
Did you realize there were over 10,000 deaths?
I think it was the dam that broke in China.
Well, there was the one in China, but there was also the one in Brazil.
That's right, but in China there were over 10,000 deaths.
Thousands and thousands.
Throughout the history of mankind, the deaths from all nuclear energy combined do not amount to that of other energy sources annually.
It's not even close.
And you have to have backups for solar and wind.
This is what they don't want to tell you.
You have to have backups for solar and wind, which actually completely eradicate species, completely require clear-cutting of entire forests to work, and they're inefficient.
But people... I'm sorry, you were going to say something.
I was just gonna make fun of Bernie some more.
No, but actually to build on to that point, I'm gonna again turn to Bernie's platform from his own website.
I just want anyone who's out there listening who works in coal, natural gas, or crude oil, and who may have a co-worker or a family member who says, no no Bernie's not out here to destroy my livelihood, to remember the last bullet point under his environmental plank.
End exports of coal, natural gas, and crude oil.
End the ability of the United States to make money off of its own minerals, off of its own industries.
and destroy those industries.
That's exactly what he wants to do.
With, by the way, no adequate replacement.
None.
No, we're not going to do nuclear.
We're not going to do nuclear.
We're going to do solar and wind, which has never worked.
You always have to have a backup.
Yes.
You always have to have a backup.
And by the way, you know where they've used more coal and natural gas in recent years?
Germany, because they needed more backups to their stupid solar and wind.
Their costs had already gone up.
Their carbon emissions are going up because they need a backup to it.
People have this ill-conceived notion Because I, by the way, I'm building, I'm putting solar panels into our small lake cottage because I like the idea of being self-sustaining.
But people have this idea that it's like a home solar panel kit that you can store into a lithium battery.
You cannot do it on a grand scale.
It doesn't exist yet.
Not yet.
The truth is, if you look at battery technology, yes, it accelerated very rapidly, and it's plateaued for a very long time.
Whereas you look at the capabilities of what we have with nuclear reactors, and you look at nuclear fusion, or you look at even the way we can recycle it, To recycle nuclear waste, it's unbelievable.
There have been far more advances in that than there have been in battery technology as it relates to storing solar or wind recently.
Do you realize that if you use nuclear energy for the rest of your life, you, personally, you could fit the waste from half-Asian lawyer Bill Richmond in a Coke can?
Amazing.
That's not even one days of shits.
All American.
And by the way, you put it in a metal tube and then you put it in some kind of a concrete structure, no radiation gets out.
No radiation gets out.
You could store all nuclear waste from the history of American nuclear energy use, all of it, from the history of the United States, in one football field, 50 feet high, in a concrete building.
There's far more waste for solar or wind.
I'm not saying that we shouldn't look at new energy sources, but they take energy sources off the table because of political expediency.
The reason they don't want to talk about nuclear is because this idea of renewables, as they put it, it would be dead.
It would be dead if people actually understood the economics of nuclear energy.
Alright, Kamala.
Are we going to stick around for Kamala?
Let us know.
Tweet me, at S. Crowder.
Promo code CNNSucks.
Hashtag CrowderCNNLivestream is what we're going to use on Twitter.
We're going to go to a break right now.
I'm going to go to the restroom.
Tweet me, at S. Crowder, if you want us to continue through Kamala Harris and Pete ButtGig and then I'll be back and I'll think about it.
Alright.
We're on a commercial!
Do not attempt the training techniques you are about to see without consulting a professional.
Tonight on Crowder 9-1-1.
I don't think Joe Biden knows what he's doing.
A physically inappropriate politician.
He's at the point where he gropes every person that walks by.
Hey, stop!
F**k!
Wreaks havoc on the lives of his voters.
Joe!
At first I thought he was cool, but then he started kissing my neck and sniffing.
Help!
This Joe Biden was clearly out of control, and it was time for someone to do something about it.
Quarter person of color Garrett and his co-worker Maddie have been dealing with
a politician with no respect for boundaries or personal space.
Hey, Corner Black!
Hey.
What seems to be the problem?
Well, it's Joe Biden here.
He won't stop sniffing and kissing people.
It's a real problem.
I've done everything.
I don't know what to do.
Okay, see, the first thing you did is right now, you're very tense.
You're giving off that energy and you actually encouraged that behavior.
I encouraged it?
That's right.
Okay.
Oh, what do I do?
The first thing we need you to do is get your Joe Biden to a calm, relaxed state.
And we're gonna do that with no talk, no touch, no eye contact.
Okay?
Okay.
That's right.
Alright.
It's okay to drop the leash.
It's okay.
It's okay.
Okay.
Now you see what I did is I do a small correction when Joe Biden goes in to kiss my...
See?
I'm stopping the brain from escalating to a state of sexual assault.
That's right.
I just feel bad for him.
I don't think Joe Biden knows what he's doing.
My correction is not to hurt Joe Biden, but just to snap the brain out of it.
Okay, now you try.
It's okay.
It's okay.
No?
Come assertive!
Come assertive!
Hey!
See this quarter black is giving off a tense energy and escalating.
He's asking himself, is Joe Biden gonna kiss my neck?
Is he gonna make a hair puppet?
And Joe Biden is already escalating his energy to match.
And he's rubbing shoulders and kissing the faces.
Come assertive!
Assertive!
That's it!
That's right!
That's right!
You are the alpha of the pack!
Hey!
Yes, that's it.
Okay, correction, correction.
Correct.
Yeah, that's right.
Because he can only has water when you say he can has water.
That's right.
Boundaries, consistency.
Now I can has water.
You can, you can have it.
Now, this quarter black was doing really good with his Joe Biden.
So it's time to introduce a new challenge.
Is it okay to kill Maddie?
It's okay.
Go.
It's okay.
No!
I want to tell you my secret now.
Okay.
I see not funny people.
Like on your Facebook timeline?
On your Instagram?
Snapchat?
You see them in real life?
Like on TV?
Not funny people.
Like Jimmy Kimmel?
Samantha Bee?
People television.
Like the real funny people.
They don't make me laugh.
They only see their point of view.
They don't know they're not funny.
How often do you see them?
Every night.
They're everywhere.
You won't tell anyone my secret, right?
No.
Will you stay and tell me some jokes?
I can't.
We're about to tape.
MORE ANIME NOISES outro
alright everybody Time to play Guess How Much Betty Weighs.

The hashtag is CrowderCNNLivestream.
By the way, let everyone know on social media because the notifications did not go out, which is why half-Asian lawyer Bill Richman is here.
Angry.
You know, for such a bargain, we provide our viewers with such a good product.
Why do they hate us so much that they vote for us to continue watching CNN?
I don't know.
I ask myself that all the time.
I have no idea why they want us to continue watching it.
Everyone loves a trainwreck.
You can't look away.
But I think we actually have some new Mug Club subscribers we can actually show here.
We've got a bunch right here.
Oh gosh, look at that.
There you go.
Can you read out some of the names there?
Joe Northern Jr.
Thank you very much.
Mike Kressler.
Tyler Myers.
West...Wensylvania.
Luke Wilde.
8 Ball.
Hanson.
Thank you.
Someone's going to join Mug Club just so we read their name out loud during a stream.
And then immediately they're going to join the clan.
Their name's going to be like, Pete Buttgig.
Because that would be ridiculous.
If your Twitter handle has the word butt in it, please join now.
How funny would it be if Pete Buttigieg was in the green room right now?
That's a deal!
It's a chance to reach a new voter base.
Oh, impeachment.
out. All right. What's Kamala got? What might be the end result? But that doesn't mean the process...
Oh impeachment. That's right, Drink. All right. Thank you Senator. Let's talk about it because a lot...
She was looking for an applause break.
I can always tell as a comedian, when you're looking on the face, she's looking for an applause break and she's not rescued by the audience.
It's like Tom Hanks in Punchline.
Somebody help me!
She's actually one of the candidates I'm most interested in, only because from what I've been hearing, she has the... Hold on, I do need to hear the question.
Two days ago was the 20th anniversary of the Columbine Massacre, but still, two decades later, no major gun control legislation has been passed.
So my question is, as president, how will you go about keeping us safe and keeping guns out of the hands of those who should not have them?
Thank you, Ben.
And I'm sure that there are plenty of students here while you were in high school, in middle school, who didn't participate in a drill.
of 94. That was the last one I think.
That was like that biracial Elizabeth Warren thing.
She was like looking like, right, kiddos?
The hip and the arms.
Call 45 on 364.
Hot sauce.
Hot sauce.
It's one thing I don't get.
Like, all right, we're supposed to hold the NRA accountable.
We're supposed to hold the gun manufacturers accountable.
What about the government employees that are messing up the background checks in the first place that are causing people to get the guns that are shooting the kids?
Bernie Sanders just pops out from the wings like, MAKE SURE THAT SON OF A BITCH CAN VOTE FROM HIS SINGLE CELL!
...who have failed to have the courage to reject a false choice...
Do you think Kamala was back there listening when Bernie said, definitely don't put armed guards in schools because that's what's gonna help.
I came here to drink beer to listen to the Bernie impersonation.
Like what?
Tell us.
Specifics.
You know what, you want to go hunting, that's fine.
But we need reasonable gun safety laws in this country.
Like what?
Tell us.
Universal background checks.
We have them.
And renewal of the assault weapon ban.
Oh, the assault weapons banner is reasonable.
Yes.
So, this, by the way, legal.
This, illegal.
You're saying, what, capacity?
No.
What, caliber?
Literally just a rifle grip versus pistol grip.
That's what made something legal versus illegal.
It was a ridiculous ban that did nothing.
No, it's just absurd.
Well, you've worked with firearm companies for a long time.
Yeah, I've worked in the industry for a while.
Great time to thank our wonderful sponsor, Walther.
Really appreciate it.
Fantastic.
And you know this, the assault weapons ban, it didn't do anything.
Well, I mean, when you look at the statistics about what's actually being done with firearms, what are actually being used by law enforcement versus what's being used in crimes, the types of guns that are being illegally used versus those that are actually Rightfully obtained.
It's such a small percentage of guns that are actually legally obtained that would fall under the definition of assault rifle that are being used in these kinds of crimes.
And when you look at all the different... Actually, I need to clarify.
They don't say assault rifle is a military term.
Assault weapon is a made-up term for True, true.
But I love to hear how they mix them up all the time.
All the time.
And that's ultimately the issue is go ahead and enforce the laws that are actually on the books and let's see what happens.
As opposed to saying we've got to go ahead and do new things.
What she won't mention is 20 years ago in Columbine they weren't using weapons that would have otherwise qualified under the assault weapons ban.
Didn't one of them have a 9mm carbine?
I think they both had 9mm pistols.
Who used that?
Was it called the Scorpion or the MX-5?
It was like a 9mm carbine.
Was that UVA?
There was someone who used it.
I remember that became the gun du jour that everyone wanted.
Right, right.
There was concern about pistol caliber carbine.
Can I just say something here?
This is one that you're not supposed to say.
Because they'll obviously say this when we talk about the left being unpatriotic or they'll talk about Donald Trump sort of talking down to his voter base.
Nearly all questions asked by the Democratic have been selfish prick questions.
Sorry, they've been the kinds of questions that an asshole asks.
Just picture yourself at a dinner table, okay?
And you have all of your family members there and you have your head of household.
Picture it at Thanksgiving, okay?
And you have some kids, these are conservatives, who go like, hey dad, I really hope you're proud of me.
Look at what I did here.
Look at what I did on my own.
I went out and I started this business and we won this art prize, me and my friend.
And look, I got out of college and I paid my way through and I'm not in debt.
Dad, aren't you proud of me?
And then the kid at the other side of the table goes, hey dad, are you gonna pay for my school?
Dad, are you gonna buy me a car?
Dad, can I stay on your healthcare until I'm 26?
Dad!
I want a cookie!
I want a puppy!
Me!
I!
Now!
Me!
That's all it is!
Free college!
I want to smoke weed.
I want to go to college for free.
Everything.
You want to smoke weed for free?
Well, that'll be the next thing.
If you make healthcare free, and all of a sudden you just classify pot as a drug for everything from hangover all the way to pancreatic cancer, well... I've got a headache right now.
Because getting barbecued is a human right.
That's the thing I can get behind.
Or at least it should be.
Does anyone notice how much easier these questions are for Kamala than... I mean, I feel like they were actually fairly... I definitely think they were harder on Bernie than Warren or Kamala.
But also, like, Bernie... Cuomo was actually harder on Bernie.
Lemon and Anderson Cooper were just like, oh, you go girl.
So what I would be requiring is that there be a robust process by which income-based repayment would be the norm.
And finally, let's look at the fact that for all of you and anybody who has applied for financial aid, that is an awful process.
You guys know what I'm talking about.
You mean government financial aid?
It's almost so difficult because if I can't fill up financial aid, I'm definitely going to do great in college.
It's one form.
You're right, one form.
Well, it's almost like she's talking about it as though it could be bureaucratic red tape though, so I'll allow it.
You know, I look at something like, for example, teachers.
She's like the one relative on Fresh Prince who we were supposed to believe was black, but we didn't really.
I don't know.
I'm trying to think what that was.
I don't know.
I have no idea.
Hey, Camille.
the black and the number of teachers who have left the profession of teaching because they can't afford to pay off
their student loans. Right now we're looking at a deficit of teachers based on the number of students that we need to
help.
Oh, they brought the women out.
So it's a big issue and it crosses the line.
I'm gonna jump in there because it's...
Let's see, probably about $260 plus.
Yeah, probably about $250.
Probably a little bit under that.
Do you still have some debt from it, or did you pay it off?
No, all done with that.
All done with that?
Yeah, more of a recent thing.
Because you got a law degree?
Yes.
Yes.
Without question.
But I mean, there are other parts like... And you started doing YouTube.
Yeah.
Not... Shh!
Shh!
No, but I mean, I went to a public school for undergrad with the University of Missouri.
And so when I was at Mizzou, you know, I had some scholarships and other things.
So that helped.
I got some scholarships to go to law school as well.
So those things helped as well.
But, you know, there's, I mean, there's a fair amount of costs, but never in a million years was there ever the thought in my mind that somehow this would be forgiven.
I mean that at some point someone was going to come along with a magic wand and tell me that the debt that I signed my name on was just going to go poof.
And let me ask you this, if you knew that the debt was going to be forgiven, Would you have maybe gone into a different field that you didn't know was guaranteed as profitable as, let's say, law or medicine?
Would you have experimented more?
Maybe spent more time in college?
I possibly might have, but I probably would have just done a bunch of other things while I was there.
I would have just taken more credits.
I would have spent more free money if it was given to me.
I mean, that is human nature.
I mean, human nature is I mean, that's the concept of house money.
And when you make everything house money, you're asking humans to somehow go against their nature.
And that's what the whole platform is here.
I've looked at all of their websites, and I haven't seen any one of them where they talk about free tuition, saying it only applies to, let's say, STEM fields, vocational colleges, or degrees that are clear.
Basically, there should be some kind of delineation.
They can't do it.
Because those aren't the kinds of people who want free college, typically speaking.
That's a challenge.
I would say, if we wanted to say, alright listen...
Here's what I think.
I think you should do away with... I know you mentioned that you have scholarships, and some people right now, I can already see them going, Stephen's lawyer just proved the need for... No.
If we didn't have scholarships or grants, overall cost of education would be lower, but you're not going to not take it when it's on the table.
Sure.
It's like John Stossel talking about his home has been rebuilt, I think, three times on the beach in the East Coast after hurricanes.
Like, I should have learned not to build there, but I'm not going to leave free money on the table.
That's what John Stossel talks about.
I mean, I believe in the ability of an institution to say if they want to encourage certain students to apply, I went to one school over scholarship versus another.
I mean, I had other schools who offered me full rides that I turned down because I wanted to go to what I perceived to be a better institution.
I think we're going to do this as a new segment.
The Green New Deal actually kind of inspired it, it was only five pages, but we're going to do five-point solutions to major problems.
Things like healthcare, things like education.
This is one thing, obviously we haven't worked it out yet, but I do think that we should do away with all, we're talking about Pell Grants, student aid, scholarships, outside of serious academic or athletic scholarships, do away with it.
And it seems to me that particularly in certain locations or STEM fields, law, Okay, make a complete tax deduction.
How about that?
How about that?
We can cut down inflation a little bit by not creating an incentive for colleges to make a degree unaffordable, right?
They have an incentive to say, what can you afford?
$20,000 a year?
Alright, if we make that price $50,000 a year, you can get yourself a Pell Grant, this school will get more money.
We need to do away with all that that causes hyperinflation, and let's just look at the idea of making all higher education completely tax deductible.
The other thing, I mean, you're talking about an actual reform, or if you're gonna reform something, you have to stop doing what you're doing now and do something different.
With the Democrats, you aid college students and their idea of reform, I'm just gonna give you more money.
Right.
Which isn't reform, it's just...
Oh wait, she just threw out private health insurance.
Let's see here.
Because Bernie said that Medicare for All would do away with private health insurance.
So did she.
Oh she did?
Oh good.
I think.
Oh, she did? Oh, good.
Cost should not be the barrier to receiving the care that will relieve you of pain or help improve your quality of
life.
Because you shouldn't have to pay money for your health care.
That's created a magical land of chocolate rivers and midgets on tricycles where Kamala Harris and Elizabeth Warren spin
recycled trash into golden yarn and insulin shots.
I don't understand this idea that you don't have to pay money for your drugs.
The barrier to entry shouldn't be if you're able to pay for innovative health care that has costs Pharmaceutical companies are caretaking billions of dollars to create and invest in?
The barrier to entry should just be me!
If the buried entry isn't a cost analysis, what is it?
Don Lemon, put the glasses on.
So you know he's serious.
He's like, I'm trying to see your point here and I'm having a problem.
I'm not a privilege for those who can afford it.
And it's one of the biggest issues impacting American students.
I'm traveling this country.
It's one of the biggest issues.
The number of people who sit down next to me, whether they're going to have access to health care or not, based on money,
you would be shocked.
$1 for diabetes patients who can't afford their insurance.
Bernie, why don't you just give your book away, bro?
Yeah.
Just let the education start right there.
I wasn't talking about me.
And do away with the best-selling profits?
I think not.
Listen, to be clear, this bill that you co-sponsored essentially phases up private insurance for four years.
In four years.
I don't think that's right.
I'm not sure.
It is right.
I was like, while I'm looking at this paper, I can put my glasses on and everything.
Put my glasses on!
...would effectively eliminate private insurance.
It would essentially phase out private insurance companies.
As the main source, but there would still be supplemental.
There'd still be access to supplemental insurance.
For whatever it's not covered, but let's be clear about it.
Medicare for all is the plan that I'm supporting.
There'd still be access to supplemental insurance, Bernie pops out the wing.
ASSA!
I'm surprised with eight years of you doing that impersonation, that's the first time.
That's true!
I'm surprised with eight years of you doing that impersonation, that's the first time
I've seen it.
That's true.
Including what we need to do better around women having greater access to reproductive
health care.
This is so funny.
The thing I never talk about is, well, no, Bernie is honest about it.
Everyone wants to hear, wants to know about that.
Max Ratner is originally from Massachusetts.
He is now a student at St.
Anselm College right here.
He looks normal.
Oh, does she?
Senator Harris, thank you for taking my question.
Thank you, Max.
The Green New Deal is not a law, but rather a memorandum that has no actual legislative effect.
It's been characterized as expensive, divides Democrats, and has no chance of passing through Congress in its current state.
Why do you support it?
Hold on a second.
Can we just take a moment to appreciate that earlier you gave a trap, but I said, hey, good-looking girl, she's a conservative, and the one guy who said, hey, he looks normal.
The only two people who, if they were knocking door-to-door, you would let into your house were conservatives.
By the way, if Ken Bone showed up, I would just lose my shit right now.
I think you would literally have to drop the microphone and just end the livestream.
Earlier I was looking at Bernie's website, and I'll say this for him, it's really easy to find his position on the points.
I've been browsing around on Kamala's website and you can't find anything that lists what her actual positions are on anything.
It's like Butt King.
Butt King just says we need to talk about the moral imperative.
Drink clean air?
LIZARD PERSON!
LIZARD PERSON!
To be fair though, if you have actual possessions on your website, you should fire all of your consultants.
Across the board, people are being impacted by this.
Let's also look at the fact that we have, in so many states, great work that is happening that is actually contributing to the economy around an investment in renewable energy.
Like the Bureau of Labor Statistics came out with a list last year of the top 20 jobs that are going to see the greatest amount of growth in our country over the next 10 years.
Number one and number two, installation and maintenance of wind turbines and solar panels.
Let's look at it in the context of what we know to be true about water.
Water is a precious and diminishing resource on our planet.
Would you look at what's happening around shifting populations around the globe?
here is more pilgrims they don't understand they talk about unemployment
if they just Bernie mentioned this in the Donald in the Fox News Town Hall you
know unemployment was going down under Obama and that well hold a second
We're not just talking about overall unemployment numbers when you fund the numbers and you include government jobs, shovel-ready jobs, and you don't include people who've left, effectively, the workforce looking for a job.
No, we don't care if you're talking about things like Solyndra or you're talking about federally subsidizing losing technologies or unprofitable technologies.
That's not what we're talking about.
You can't claim that as a growing job sector in the same way that an actual healthy private economy sector could claim it.
It's just, it's not.
It's not an actual business running an honest profit margin.
It's because you threw money at it because you have to pay off your constituency for votes.
Yeah, but then also with Obama, they completely created new math.
Like, it wasn't just created jobs, created or saved jobs.
Right.
Or when they caught it, the job growth, instead of like, they ignored all the jobs that he lost.
Right.
Blame those on George Bush.
Yes, of course.
When they got to the bottom, okay, this is where I start.
And then we're going back up.
I'm down here.
And the solution will be because we change our behaviors without much requirement of change to lifestyle, and it will be urgent in terms of the work we need to do and the approach we need to have, but we can see success.
We've seen it in California.
Wait, California and success?
Are you talking about grape varietals or are you a lunatic?
I actually think she was playing the drinking game for the past two hours.
No, she's joined us.
Wait, let's check the rolls.
Is she a Mug Club member?
Kamala Harris just joined!
What?
Kamala Snoop Dogg 420!
I totally, totally went to college to listen to this future music that didn't exist.
I remember when I was in college listening to My Chemical Romance.
Really?
Maybe that's something else we should explore when we have more time.
Well, because they came out 15 years and I got out of college.
Oh, okay.
That was a bad band.
I didn't understand.
I didn't know when you were in college.
Are there even any bands out now that I can even use for an example?
No.
Okay.
Nothing's out.
The electric guitar has been replaced with the DJ mixing board.
Yeah.
Okay.
There really are no more rock stars.
Okay, how about this?
Kind of like when I was listening to mumble rap when I was in college.
I was gonna say, that sounds like my breakfast this morning.
Oh God.
Are these the human wastes?
My sister lives in San Francisco and she was like, this is no, I sent her a joke.
I was like, oh, like no big deal, right?
Like this is clearly just, you know, people exaggerating.
She's like, no.
This is not an adventure!
The whole place looks like a big poop!
He's like, I'll take a picture one day of all the... Alright, go get yourself one more... We're gonna make it through one more commercial break, and then I'm calling it quits.
That's fine!
One more commercial break.
Okay.
So do you need... Johnny, boy, we need more beer for this drinking game.
You don't have to have one.
I just feel as though... You do.
You do have to have one.
Let's go.
You should've seen after the Oscars livestream.
What did you just do?
What did you break?
Nothing!
You need a bottle opener.
Hey, we're going to stay and finish Kamala.
We're going to stay and finish Kamala.
We're going to finish Kamala?
No, not you.
You're going to bed.
In my defense, after the Oscars live stream, I had to have that one 12% beer just because it was tradition.
The Dragon's Milk?
The Dragon's Milk.
And then as I'm standing there, he handed me one that was like 15%.
Do we have any more good funny names on our mug clubs?
Yeah, here we go.
Let us know when we have some more.
Oh, what do we have?
Just attempt to read that one.
I can't even see what it is.
Great Balls of Fire.
Oh, it is?
Oh, you're pretty good with the clever internet lingo.
I'm used to reading weird symbols.
Bucky Barnes!
That's not your name.
That's a bullcrap name, that's a TV name.
Load Masa?
Oh, he's a terrorist.
Chance Singleton.
Chance Singleton.
Thank you very much.
Ricky Flanagan joining up at Mug Club.
That's what allows us to... Aaron Jose.
Jose?
Josie?
Josie?
I buy your cars!
Josie?
What were you saying there, Bill?
Jason has fans.
No, I was saying thank you to Aaron.
He said it's about damn time.
I was saying, yeah.
Exactly.
Here's the thing.
Let's be honest.
A lot of people, when people come up and say they're fans, and I go, oh, they go, oh, I love your feminist film festival, or oh, I love the undercover.
I'm like, oh, OK.
You're just watching the biggest videos.
What allows us to also do a stream of something like this, which is very important.
You know, people talk about this where you only cover things that are good for ratings.
There probably couldn't... I couldn't name anything that would be worse for a conservative's program's ratings than four hours or three hours of a CNN town hall live stream.
Watch us watch CNN.
But we do it for you.
We do it, and the only reason we're able to do it is because of people who join up at MugClub.
Lotterthecredit.com slash MugClub right now.
The promo code is CNNSUCKS.
We wouldn't be able to do this if you didn't.
We're not making this revenue back on YouTube.
This thing's already been demonetized.
We were demonetized before I even rolled my ass up here.
And no notifications went out.
No way it was gonna go out.
I don't know what's going on.
Let us know.
Comment, for those who are watching this in the archive, or send me a message.
Sorry, tweet me at scrowder.
People who are getting notifications.
None of our notifications are going out for live streams.
And I'm not just bitching about this, because I know a lot of people, they bitch about everything.
It's like, listen, we've accepted demonetization.
But they told us, remember YouTube, they sent us a letter saying that if you upload more than three pieces of content in a 24 hour period, you won't be notified.
We have screen grabs that show us that the Young Turks, and a lot of us are subscribed to them, notifications left and right three times a day.
And we're not uploading more than one piece of content per day.
No notifications on this live stream.
No idea why.
When you're out there tweeting, let's make sure, when you're out there tweeting, if you got them before and you're not getting them now, just let us know.
Give us a little detail.
When did it start?
When did you normally get them?
When did they not come now?
I mean, we know that they're doing it.
And trust me, every one of you out there who's not getting one, I ain't getting it either.
We're just running some diagnostics.
Hold on a second.
I want to see what Vanessa Chambers... What's with all the Harvard students?
So, um, my question talks about, um, how this country, um... Your question can talk?
...plans to administer reparations to the descendants of... Oh, no.
Oh, no.
I'm going to administer reparations, but you're giving Gary 25% of my sandwich.
I'll take your sandwich.
Turn it on, right?
Yes.
Thank you.
Only 25% of it, though.
570 slaves were sold in the 19th century to save the school.
However, this is but a small step.
What actions, what specific actions do you plan to take to administer reparations?
None!
None at all.
How have you been harmed by slavery, Vanessa Chambers?
It's Harvard, not Yale.
That's clear.
My first choice was Cornell.
My safety was Harvard.
Honestly, how have you been harmed?
And I know what they'll say, it's systemic.
That's complete bullcrap.
You know how I know?
Because there's a quota for you at Harvard, and not for white people.
As a matter of fact, they say, sorry half-Asians, Bill Richmonds, we're full up.
Let's be honest, I wasn't even qualified.
But you are right!
You're right, though, that when you look at the numbers and you look at the quotas, I mean, the number of lawsuits have been going on about this very issue.
Is there a problem?
Are there racists?
Absolutely.
Is there a systemic problem that's continuing to hold down every instance of success for minorities?
No way.
Nope.
Okay, let's hear right now what she's answered.
It's to overlook the facts of history.
Is it just me, or is it amazing that every single major Democratic candidate supports reparations?
Isn't this just some crazy fringe idea?
Come on now, that's a little bit nutty.
You're a 14-year-old named Skyler, named Vanessa Chambers, and you actually have benefited from affirmative action, all these government programs, and more public funding to education.
Now they're just going like, yes, reparations.
We need to talk about how to best implement it.
Well, what I think it is, is because, I mean, Democrats are smart enough to hide these things.
I think they view Donald Trump as an easy win because of whatever polls, pick a reason.
But because of that, they figured this is the one time where we could run as us and say like, well, yeah, say this is what we campaigned on and you elected us and they're counting on an easy victory.
I think they're making a huge mistake.
There are real factors that can be associated with trauma, and when you are talking about the years and years and years of trauma that we're experiencing because of slavery, because of Jim Crow, and because of all that we've seen in terms of institutional and legal discrimination and racism, this is very real, and it needs to be studied, and we need to look at exactly how the response should be.
Let's just say, hypothetically speaking, everything she said is accurate.
My family didn't come to this country until the 1900s and never left New York.
So we were never here when they were slaves.
We never lived in a state or participated in anything with Jim Crow.
That's what I'm saying.
Does the Latina lady have to pay for reparations?
My wife will not pay for reparations.
What?
My wife will not.
That's true, you're what?
Do you have to pay?
And by the way, do we only pay to people who are direct descendants of slaves?
This is what I'm talking about!
If Latinos don't pay, if Asians don't pay, if, uh, I know, obviously I repeat myself, if Indian Americans don't pay, if Persian Americans don't pay, Is it only white Americans?
And then do you say only white Americans who clearly come from lineages that have owned slaves?
And then it should only apply to black Americans who are direct descendants of slaves.
This is what it just doesn't function unless you're talking about a bogus social justice agenda.
I'm sorry.
No, no, that's it.
It's that simple.
No.
Do I believe in giving the land back to native Americans?
No, I don't.
Do you believe in reparations to Vanessa Chambers who was born in 1998?
No, I don't.
That's it!
White privilege!
Let's go with that!
I'm okay with it!
Here's my question.
Who's going to be the first candidate to say the reparations are a human right?
That's a good point.
Well, I think they're all kind of saying it implicitly.
They're getting there.
They're getting there.
So one of the things that Kamala did say in a recent interview was that, in her mind, one version of reparations is going to be mental health treatment for African Americans.
And here's her quote.
She's calling all African Americans mental?
She is.
Here's her quote.
You can look at the issue of untreated and undiagnosed trauma.
African Americans have higher rates of heart disease and high blood pressure.
It is environmental.
It is centuries of slavery, which is a form of violence where women were raped, where children were taken from their parents.
Violence associated with slavery.
Because clearly there has not been a single individual choice about diet, culture, influence, education, or any of those things.
In the last 200 years.
If there's someone from the audience, any person bringing up a soul food menu,
any menu from a soul food restaurant across the country, and Kamala Harris is going,
NO!
Fighting it.
It's clearly because we haven't passed the Green New Deal of reparations.
That's the reason for the coronary.
And they're taking it seriously now.
By the way, is that a black thing?
Same thing as white Southerners.
This is one thing, just like we talk about Ibanez.
Southern food in general.
White Southerners, and then that's largely influential of how black Americans eat.
It comes from a lot of soul food in the South.
Paula Deen has more in common with how she eats.
I'm sorry, but it's absolutely true.
It's absolutely true!
I know she said the N word and stuff, but the truth is if you look at they say y'all and all their expressions, white southerners have a lot more in common culturally with a lot of black, a lot of northern black Americans.
then people understand and a big part of that is food.
White Southerners eat catfish a lot. Listen, I've lived in Michigan. Okay, if you went into the inner
city, there's a place that I used to go to, it's called Alibaba. It had half Indian food and half soul
food. It was delicious. I love it.
Casino or convenience store. What was that? Casino or convenience store.
No, it was actually both.
So it was a half convenience store, and then the restaurant half was half Indian food and half soul food.
So you get a chicken tikka masala and a catfish fry.
Sounds delicious.
It was fantastic!
And there was a gay black man!
There are populations that have problems.
I mean, there's obesity and it cuts across demographics, but to be able to say that every single instance of current heart disease amongst an entire demographic is due to something that happened 200 years ago is a problem.
If you legalize the sex industry, how will you protect sex workers?
Because that's the concern.
Why are we still here?
Why are we still here?
She's been long trumpeting this.
Because of our mean fans.
Because of our fans of sadomasochists.
Only they want to project it onto us.
We appreciate you though.
Thank you.
Yes, we love you.
It's because of you that I can buy bourbon.
Really, if you legalize sex work, you just make the taxpayer the pimp.
And by the way, as a libertarian, I also think like, okay, I kind of understand it, but the taxpayer is the pimp.
Because if you're demanding the taxpayer protect sex workers, what, I guess, keep your back hands strong, Kamala!
Hold on, let's listen to Marge.
What's Marge saying?
Okay.
Oh, that's a great question, Marge.
I'm so glad you asked it.
Apparently it's a great question.
It's been challenging.
I've been talking about it in the United States Senate.
I serve on the Senate Homeland Security Committee.
I serve on the Senate Intelligence Committee.
Newsflash, Russia interfered in the election of the President of the United States.
And in fact, on that point, about cyber security, one, it is real.
When we talk about national security, to your point, a new form of war You know why they're going to wage cyber warfare?
Because Kamala Harris STOLE THEM BLACK PEARLS!
Alright, where's Johnny Depp?
What'd he do?
infrastructure so we've already seen one because you know what
I've been doing anything required to retrieve me black pearls
so we all know that we have been attacked in terms of our elections
we should also understand that's how you put the drink in people's consciousness
I'm just going to do this.
Look, I'm gonna tell you right now, she's not saying anything.
She's not saying anything.
There's literally not a word.
I tell you what you're saying and wearing, you Black Pearls.
There might as well be fighting words.
With you Black Pearls!
What are Black Pearls, by the way?
I think that's a fictional ship.
Is there such thing as Black Pearls?
I don't know, maybe.
I mean... I was going to say pearls that are black.
I mean... I think they exist.
Kind of like Kamala Harris.
I mean that in the sense that she's been formed over... Well, actually, those are diamond beads.
Pearls have layers that go on and on and on.
They're irritant.
Sand in the center, and then the oyster creates a smooth covering to protect it.
So it's kind of like her and the sand perpetually in her nether regions.
Sandy.
She has sand in her clam.
Are clams sultan?
This is falling apart.
We're falling apart.
And that's a wrap.
She's still said nothing.
She's doing a half knuckle.
The knuckle.
I like the knuckle.
This thing is different.
Who?
Shit, Mark's just like, that wasn't an answer.
He's like, I don't, what?
All right, what's the next question?
All right, I'm ready for Hoop earrings.
Let's hear what Hoop says.
And next up is a lady who shops at Orvis.
Hey, Orvis is correct.
They're Harvard students.
It's a Jean t-shirt.
Are there any other laws or policies that you regret as a prosecutor?
And what actions, if any, would you take to remedy this as president?
So let me be clear.
I absolutely believe that children have and should be thought of to have a constitutional right to education.
How about to not being killed?
How about if someone attempts to kill them and they survive, you just have to provide them with the same kind of healthcare that you think is a human right to everybody else?
A baby outside of the womb!
How about that?
Born Alive Protection Act.
How about that, Kamala?
Now we're getting into great territory.
Oh, so if it's a college dropout who's 24 years old who did a degree in underwater basket weaving, we're supposed to pay for her, but if it's a baby who survives a botched abortion, leave it in a wastebasket to die?
That's kind of our platform.
It's a little hard for me to stray from the message.
Democrats are about two presidential cycles away from legalizing abortions up until the 25th trimester.
I think she's two menstrual cycles away.
I thought you were going to say the 25th year.
That's four cycles away.
I'd be down for that one.
Up to 40% of them were elementary school students.
Missing 50, 60, up to 80 days of a 180 day school year.
Public school sucks.
So I decided to take the issue on.
And I took the issue on for a number of reasons.
Oh, she's talking about her truancy issue.
Oh, that's right, because a lot of black people... I was just reading about this.
Was it black parents?
Yeah, we're getting in trouble because a lot of the kids were skipping school.
Like, hashtag not all black people, but they get mad at her for that.
It's kind of like we talked about with crack laws.
This was pushed by a lot of black mothers in their communities because they thought crack was actually destroying their own communities.
This idea that crack disproportionately targets black Americans, by the way, meth also disproportionately targets white Americans, this was initially requested by the black community because they saw it destroying their neighborhoods.
Here's the thing, with the truancy issue, I believe she was probably trying, that's an instance where she was probably going out trying to do the right thing.
Yep.
And now everyone's playing politics with it because, unfortunately, some black parents were affected negatively because their kids were skipping school.
But it's not even the parents who are pushing it, I think it's like the kids who don't read history because it's not taught anymore.
No, I think there was, if I'm not mistaken, there was something going on with black parents because of the transition.
Well, no, I mean, the reason why it's an issue today is because of college students pushing it because they know nothing about the history.
You know, here's one thing I find to be ironic.
Just a couple of days ago.
Isn't it ironic?
Don't you think?
Best album ever.
Seriously.
Jagged Little Pill.
Amazing.
But, Kamala... It's a half a gen!
On your podcast day!
No, that's ironic.
Oh, yeah.
So, Kamala, recently on Pod Save America... When you've already paid!
Okay, go ahead.
A black fly in your chardonnay?
Why haven't we done an ironic cold open yet?
Yeah, seriously.
I will literally parody the entire Jagged Little Pill album.
I'm writing it tomorrow.
Done.
Done.
Please.
Done?
She recently talks about the kind of first signs of regret about this project, but I actually think it reveals the practical realities of enforcing existing laws.
She was out there enforcing the laws that actually exist to try and better America.
To try and create a change in how these kids were going about their view of school.
And trying to get them to be in school and to say, there are consequences with the problems you have.
But now, even Democratic strategists are saying, it's kind of hard to be a progressive prosecutor Enforcing the laws is counterintuitive with being a democratic candidate in this election.
And by the way, it's not like she was prosecuting people for a baggie of weed.
No!
That's not what's happening.
She tried to create a reasonable truancy law to keep kids in school.
She wanted to basically enforce a law to keep kids in school.
It's crazy.
Oh, hold on a second.
I want to see what she has to say.
Should the Boston Marathon bomber be able to vote?
These are policies that go back to Jim Crow.
These are policies that go back to the heart of policies that have been about disenfranchisement, policies that continue until today.
And we need to take it seriously.
But people who are convicted in prison, like the Boston Marathon bomber, on death row, people who are convicted of sexual assault, they should be able to vote?
I think we should have that conversation.
Wow!
Which basically means yes!
When I heard Bernie say that, I really thought, in my mind, that was the craziest thing I've ever heard.
I have a question.
People out there, tweet me at us.
This is a quandary.
This is a porter that says it has, uh, it bridges the gap between malty brown ales and heavily roasted stouts.
Notes of chocolate coffee, roasted barley, offset with just a slight hot bitterness.
Does that mean that there was coffee used in the brewing process?
Like, is there caffeine in this?
If only we had a brewer we could ask this question.
Not necessarily, but is there usually?
Would it have to say flavors added if there were coffee in this?
It would say coffees added.
It doesn't say coffee yet, it just says... Basically, if he drinks this right now, will he be able to go to sleep tonight?
Exactly like coffee when you... Right.
Yeah.
So there's probably no coffee in this.
It's like a flavor.
It's like a flavor thing.
Okay.
Not an actual coffee, just a flavor.
Alright.
Okay.
Okay!
Game on.
Alright!
What, are you out of beer then, Brian?
Not yet, but... Well, this is the last piece!
I think we only have one more commercial break.
Have you learned anything tonight?
I'm a clover.
Join right here.
There you go.
Devoid.
Thank you very much.
A question for everyone watching right now.
I'm assuming it's been with us the entire time.
Peep peep butts.
Have you learned anything tonight?
There should be a lot they've learned.
Am I in trouble?
What did you do?
I only broke a few things.
Okay.
Look, I'm still searching for the issues on Kamala's website.
I'm having to piece them together from interviews.
This used to be when I was doing political consulting, because you would have like five people, like, why don't you have an issues page?
Because when you actually say what you're gonna do, people can hold it against you.
So, basically, you have a donate page, you have a biography of you with your kids, and everything else is filler.
That's me.
That's mainly it.
All right.
Wait, what are all these dingings?
What are all these dingings?
These are people joining up MudClub.
Oh, is this what the screen is?
Thank you.
Phillip.
Kicking it.
Thank you.
Kicking it.
Wait.
Oh, what's that little bird?
Everyone here has been taunting with the ground owl.
Thank you.
Jason has pants and we appreciate that you have them.
Unlike Chris Cuomo backstage right now.
Don't send pics of them.
He's just absolutely relieving himself all over Bernie's platform.
No!
Or Bernie Sanders!
Throw me the ground owl.
Someone ground owl me.
Stop it!
I'm, like, it's a... You and me... The ground owl still probably has... I have more use for the ground owl than Kamala Harris.
Wow.
That's saying a lot, man.
So, like, this week will you have a song on My My Hey Hey about Kamala Harris?
I don't know, but now we have Van Jones going into prison.
And I usually, I don't like this because I feel like this could be a sitcom where he accidentally gets, like, Ernest goes to jail and they don't let him leave.
Van Jones.
He's like, I'm Van Jones!
Sure you are.
Let's get back in your cell, buddy.
Get a load of Tyrone over here.
Get back in here 9-5-7-5-7.
I have a show on CNN!
Sure you do, Oz.
Who do you think you are, Tom Lemon?
Get back in here!
By the way, did anyone ever actually watch Oz?
No.
I can't do it.
I tried to go back and watch both Oz and The Wire.
Can't do it.
I tried The Wire.
I couldn't do it either.
It's so hard.
I mean, it just... They claim it's the best show of all time.
I hear it's so good.
It's Planet Seinfeld.
I've tried, yeah.
No way.
I generally can't get into the shows that are that hyped up because they never live up to the hype.
The main reason I never bothered with Game of Thrones is because everyone has a Game of Thrones part and they're like, alright, there's no way this is not going to suck.
The Game of Thrones is not great.
You suck.
You can't live up to the hype because the hype oversells it.
You know what else is very overhyped?
I'm just gonna come out and say it.
No, I can't.
The Sopranos!
The Sopranos!
Overhyped!
Who goes back and re-watches The Sopranos right now?
Did you watch The Sopranos?
No.
There was a while when cable channels first started doing TV shows where as long as they had boobs and cursing, it was considered a good show.
Hold on, come on.
Doesn't everyone find it awkward when someone claps for themselves?
Oh, Don took his glasses off.
He's giving up on seeing the point.
Yes, that is the best hairdo.
he's given up on seeing the point supporting senator bernie sanders yes
that is the best hair do that i nominate best hair do hi sahil is oh is everyone from harvard tonight
Did I miss that?
No, no, no.
St.
Anselm and some other college.
Every single person from Harvard has been black, aside from one.
Have you noticed that?
No, no, no.
How does our identity politics drink?
Do you know how we know this is rigged?
There are no Asians from Harvard.
I think of this as being an inflection point in the history of our country.
Also, a mock.
I like them up.
I like them up.
Like I said, I guarantee anyone watching wrestling right now, which is less scripted and fake, that this is right.
Where's Hulk Hogan when you need him?
Exactly.
I'd give anything for Stone Cold Steve Austin with a beer truck right now.
Okay, hold on a second.
Let's see here.
The other part of it is understanding that in this inflection moment, there are very powerful voices in our country right now that are trying to sow hate and division among us.
Yes, your party.
That would be you.
Talking about racial reparations?
One of them is this.
It's always so funny when they talk about racism, sexism, homophobia, and then blame the other side of sowing division.
I'm just throwing this out here.
Maybe 10 years of saying if you want lower taxes, you're racist.
I know it to be true because I've been exposed to many cultures.
The worst is Butt Gig accusing Mike Pence of supporting conversion therapy.
You know he never did that?
It's in one page of a multi, I think, hundred page document on a website that could be misconstrued as supporting therapy for homosexuals.
And he's openly come out and said he did not support conversion therapy.
Here's the funny thing about that, because prior to ButtGig thinking that he's running against Mike Pence and not Trump?
He never wrote a word about him in his biography.
Right, but... He didn't have any disagreements.
Mike Pence treated him with the utmost respect.
You can look through a laundry list of quotes where ButtGig was talking about how Mike Pence and him were able to work together, and only now does he have a problem.
Well, right, because a couple weeks ago, the think pieces started to come out that ButtGig isn't gay enough.
Because... Well, no, seriously... His name is ButtGig.
I know, it's just funny coming from his mouth.
ButtGig isn't gay enough!
Well, no, because basically, like, you know, he's only sexually attracted to the same sex and married to one of them, he doesn't march in parades or get angry and do protests.
And ever since those thing pieces started to come out, he started running against Mike Pence for president, even though he's supposed to be running against Donald Trump.
He needs a rainbow suit, that's what he needs.
I have to take a breath.
And I'm sorry, but if Mike Pence's governor of Indiana was looking to put a butt gig in
a camp, you would think he would speak up about it as a self-fan to wherever he's from.
I have to take a breath.
If I'm going to vote for a blatant homosexual as the first gay president, I want a power
bottom!
Instead of using a microphone in a way that is about fueling the fan of hate, instead
You're gonna kill him.
You can't keep doing it.
You're just gonna kill him.
Look at him.
He's dying.
He's gonna have an aneurysm.
It's either that or the Dane Cook impression.
He's gonna have an aneurysm.
Wait, hold on.
Can we just take a moment and reflect on the fact that Kamala's still talking about her identity?
But this is definitely not identity politics.
I'll tell you how I identify Kamala Harris.
Ye who stole me black pearls!
Alright, here's the challenge.
We're not watching this anymore.
Okay, Bernie Sanders doing a Dame Cook.
Please, do this.
Ladies and gentlemen, we now have a new comedy special.
Bernie Sanders doing Dame Cook?
Hold on, hold on, hold on.
Let's hear it.
Let's hear it.
Dawn just asked her a glasses question.
Alright, what was the question?
That suggests... No, I don't mean you.
I didn't think so.
Thank you.
Ooh!
Look at that little knee lift!
Did you see that?
Oh, look at that little knee lift.
Did you see that?
I just went on TV.
I'm just digging myself.
Did you see that?
I wish we had a replay.
I don't understand the question.
In any event.
This is because there's a huge problem right now within the Democratic Party about whether
or not they should go for their normal policy.
The normal view is if we just win enough rural white voters like we've traditionally done, we'll be able to succeed in an election.
But here a lot of them have kind of gone Full minority.
They've said, you know what, let's just ignore the white voters, and that's what she's talking about here.
The guy in the Midwest is quote-unquote a white guy, right?
Because again, you know, if you're going to have reparations, you're going to have to define what white means or who the people are going to pay, or you're just going to have to admittedly make a bunch of people pay who didn't have anything to do with it.
But that's what they're talking about when they talk about codes, is who are the people that they're now going to ignore, and that's what she's talking about.
The thing is, people act as though Donald Trump completely changed the electoral map.
He didn't.
Democrats gave it to him with things like this.
There is no way Donald Trump wins Michigan without this kind of a town hall.
She looks normal.
Not this one.
Inequality.
Inequality.
You've got two for one, bud.
Drink, dammit.
Oh, no.
Sorry, dammit.
inequalities in the workplace. Women train men in income, leadership positions, and labor force participation rates.
Gosh.
Drink, dammit.
What do you plan to do as president to help the playing field and empower working women?
You don't get Asian rosacea though.
I do not, no.
It's from years of hyper damage to your liver.
I remember the Oscars. You don't get Asian rosacea though.
I do not.
It's from years of hyper damage to your liver. I'm like Asian only like waist to neck.
to neck. It is. It's perfect.
Okay, here's the thing.
something that has to be acknowledged and dealt with.
Women are paid on average 77% to the dollar.
OK, here's the thing.
Do you really believe?
Does anyone here not have access to Google?
Is that Aaron Andrews?
Sorry, go ahead.
Even Bing.
We know that the 77 cents on the dollar is not true.
I'm not going to go through the effort of debunking this right now.
It simply compares what women make versus what men make.
It doesn't take into account degrees.
It doesn't take into account amount of years worked in a specific field.
The fact that she's parroting that tells me advisors have told her that that's a winning issue on the DNC platform.
They couldn't care less about truth.
If people can get away with only paying women 70 cents a dollar, Maddie would be the only one employed right now.
If people can get away with only paying women 70 cents a dollar, Maddie would be the only
one employed right now.
I'd be out.
Good point.
But then you'd have to hire me back because of the torn fight.
She'd be the HBIC.
I pair 79.
Oh, alright.
That's because she gets a little bit lippy.
I just don't want to have to deal with it.
What are you, Google?
Paying the ladies more?
By the way, hey, by the way, listen.
Uh, see it at the promo code lotofthecleaner.com slash mugclub.
Promo code of CNN sucks.
The hashtag, oh gosh.
That guy's waiting for butt gig.
He looks like Wolverine banged butt gig!
He looks like Wolverine banged butt gig.
I don't know what he's going to ask but drink.
LGBTQ plus community.
Drink.
Visibility and safety like the transgender community and LGBTQ plus community members of color.
Right.
So I have my entire career in life been...
Don Lemon's gay and he said...
That was a gay question, man.
Wait, what the hell are you talking about?
What the hell are you talking about?
That was a gay question, man.
...that no group should be treated without equality under the law.
And right now that is the case and we have got to change it.
Wait, what the hell are you talking about?
What the hell are you talking about?
How are gay people not observed as equal under the law?
...we actually correct what is wrong and give LGBTQ people...
You see, Steven, when they say things, it's reality.
Yes!
Okay, now I understand.
That's how it works.
Human rights issue.
Just like violent sex offenders maintaining the right to vote.
I'm getting this now.
I'm understanding this now.
I mean, if you can follow the thread of that argument, you can follow anything down into a black bit of socialism.
Well, hold on a second.
Wait a second.
What if someone is in prison because they sexually assaulted or beat up a member of the LGBTQ plus community?
Don't you love that they write unironically LGBTQ plus community?
Because after LGBTQ, they're just like, ah, let's add a plus.
Whatever.
Add a red cross symbol!
You know, I really think someone should bring a lawsuit against CNN for not adequately representing all the other letters of the alphabet.
They had other questions that had three or four lines.
Why could they add the other letters here?
Ladies and gentlemen, if you are out there, and it's probably no one I'm actually talking to right now, really offended by the lack of letters, writes your local senator.
Do you realize that I actually had people complain when we did the Feminist Film Festival?
We made the joke about LGBTQAAIP.
Back then, that's what we said.
People were going like, okay, you're just extending the acronym now to mock them.
Here we are!
That was only four years ago!
Yeah, because back then it was just LGBT.
Now it's LGBTQ+, at minimum.
At minimum.
When was the last time you heard a liberal or a democrat say with a straight face, LGBT?
They never stop at T. They always add Q+, and they often add QA, and we've all heard a QAAIP now.
Seriously.
Without a hint of sarcasm.
But going back to your question about, like, you know, if felons should vote, what if the felon, you know, attacked a member of the LGBTQAI, whatever we're calling them, I wonder what Bernie Sanders would think of that.
I don't know.
I want to stir up a civil war between them.
They already have one.
Yeah, they do.
Identity politics lead to these kind of wars.
Can you really vote for the white male?
The straight white male?
What is it?
Cis?
Cis white male?
I mean, the millionaire cis white male?
I mean, give me a break.
Well, if you wrote a best-selling book... An international bestseller!
Yes, and Joe Biden's thinking, I should have thought of that.
I know.
He's like, I was too busy filling people up.
Smelling their hairs.
I guarantee you he smelled Kamala Harris.
The past couple of years have seen young people getting involved in politics and activism, organizing around issues such as gun control and climate change.
Look at him, he's so happy.
All right, I'm ready for this question.
Let's hear it.
Hi Senator.
Okay, last question.
The past couple of years have seen young people getting involved in politics and activism,
organizing around issues such as gun control and climate change.
Given that policies passed now will affect the younger generation for years to come,
do you believe that America should have the right to vote at age 16?
I'm really interested in having that conversation.
I have to tell you that.
You've been doing it all night!
I'm really interested in having a conversation.
I've already been having a conversation about it.
We are putting more responsibilities on people at a younger age.
Great.
I also agree with lowering the ownership of handguns age to 16.
Thank you.
I think the more robust it would be.
I think one of the downsides of the way that our system is currently constructed, but thanks to CNN for doing this town hall with students, is that if people don't vote or they don't write checks, they don't get hurt.
Do you know why you have to pay an additional fee until you're 25 to rent a car?
Because the brain is not fully developed, particularly this portion of the brain that takes into account risk-taking.
I think we should just consistently make it one age across the board.
That's why I have to pay an extra $19.99 when I go to frickin' Hertz.
But I can elect the next leader of the free world.
By the way, I think drinking, voting, guns, cars, I think we should just consistently
make it one age across the board.
It has gotten pretty complicated.
Forty.
I'm okay with that.
I don't even know how we got this far.
The thing is, most people wanted us to do Butt Gig after Bernie.
It went Bernie, Butt Gig, then Warren and Harris.
There's no way we're making it through Butt Gig.
They've been so repetitive now at this point.
They all say the same thing, except she is apologizing for truancy concerns.
I'm not gonna lie, I want Cuomo back.
He asks the good questions.
He was pretty rough on Ernie.
Oh, is this it?
That's it.
That's it!
All right, Kamal Harris.
Okay, before we go, enter lottowithcredit.com slash Mug Club promo code CNNSUCKS.
You get $20 off.
And what have we learned tonight?
First off, we're a glutton.
I am, at least, a glutton for punishment.
Second, that we need more beer if we play a drinking game that is as startlingly accurate as this in the future.
I mean, quite frankly, the fact that none of us were drunk after Elizabeth Warren shows something about our constitution.
That's just because we weren't paying attention because she was a woman.
And I also think that this one is... Can people still see me or did we already shut it off?
Can people see me or is it frozen?
It's frozen.
Is it frozen?
Alright, we have audio, but we lost the image.
Alright, so for people, this is the theater of your imagination.
Just for Brodigan.
It's okay, just keep the image up.
We're gonna go.
No, no, no!
Keep the image up!
Keep the image up!
Let's just keep it going now that we fixed it.
Let's just act like we fixed it.
Thank you so much to my half-Asian lawyer, Bill Richmond.
Of course, we have Brodigan tomorrow.
There is no show.
We will be back Wednesday with an Ash Wednesday and Thursday, just because Brodigan asked for it on the way out.
This is now Bernie Sanders.
date I need a subject Bernie Sanders Bernie Sanders is Dane Cook as a
Okay!
international bestseller yes New York Times bestseller list okay when I found
out that I was a bestseller I said what I never heard of being a bestseller
before the New York Times Who runs the New York Times bestseller list?!
I've heard it!
The Jews!
But I'm one of them!
Ooooooh!
I'm one of those Jews!
I can't do anymore.
I have voice hairs.
We'll see you tomorrow.
We'll see you Wednesday and Thursday!
Bye!
I'm so sorry for the bad audio, I'm not good at editing. I'm sorry!
Things won't be the same.
