	Louder with Crowder Studios.
	Protected exclusively by Walther.
	And Betty!
	Worldwide now, the coronavirus taking a devastating toll.
	Confirmed cases now top 300,000.
	Over 13,000 have died.
	Elizabeth Palmer is in London tonight tracking the crisis.
	That's right.
	Yeah.
	Uh-huh.
	Corona babies.
	Believe it or not, that's Florida's governor, David P. Alligator.
	He issued an executive order to see you later, Alligator.
	Hi, it's Jimmy.
	I hope you and your friends and your family are as well as can be expected in our new post-apocalyptic world.
	I'm your host, Stephen Colbert.
	You're watching the very special social distancing edition of the Late Show.
	What's in my cupboard long? Searching like quarantine. Quarantine not alone.
	You can watch other shows from my club. It's a month of everything.
	Make it out alright. Alright, alright.
	I want you.
	Hand sanitizer at the door.
	No toilet paper in the store.
	Ha, such a long quarantine.
	Oh damn, I think I'm gonna sneeze.
	I swear, it's just the allergies.
	Climb into the clear of the police, don't call the police You're a strange animal, that's what I know
	You're a strange animal, I come to follow On your sweet, sweet
	Oh, very glad to be with you.
	This is called the I-Can't-Really-Swing-My-Arms-For-A-Proper-Gate-For-Running-Because-My-Shirt's-Too-Small.
	But you can see, it's an XL.
	So for people who think I deliberately wear short shirts...
	I find XL shirts that are small.
	Joke's on you.
	It's more pre-emptive.
	We have a big show for you today, and a big month coming up.
	So first let me clarify, we have Deji DiNagla on the show, Irish gamer, 6 million subscribers.
	I don't know how to pronounce his name, but hopefully he's okay.
	And yes, as you saw there, I noticed all the late night hosts.
	Well first let me introduce everybody.
	Stu is here.
	StuDoesAmerica.com.
	Yes!
	Is there a specific percentage of Asian I need to be to sit here?
	Not so much.
	Honestly, we haven't done a 23andMe on Bill, but I assume there's like 4% Bulldog.
	His mom spent a lot of time in the live food market.
	Porter Black Garrett is here.
	Audio Wade, G. Morgan Jr.
	How are you?
	What's going on in the day?
	I'm doing well.
	I had to look.
	It's Peju Cabernet.
	It's what?
	Peju.
	Peju!
	Peju?
	P-E-J-U.
	We don't tolerate antisemitism on the show.
	I've noticed that the late night hosts, they're all broadcasting from their bathtub and apparently NBC doesn't have the budget for a lavalier microphone.
	Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel, Samantha Bee, Trevor Noah, everyone's gone.
	We've decided that they're acceptable risks.
	Unacceptable risks here at Ladder of the Crowder and there's going to be it's going to be hashtag mug club quarantine If you enter in the promo code quarantine, you'll get $30 off the entire month of April starting next Monday Everything that's usually available exclusively at mug club the blaze all of this program will be available on YouTube as well as Three more shows.
	Yeah morning drive shows.
	Good morning mug club.
	So every night at is it 9 p.m.
	Eastern 9 p.m Monday through Thursday, and then Monday, Wednesday, Friday at 9 p.m., 10 p.m.
	Eastern in the morning, 9 p.m.
	Central.
	And you guys can live chat.
	If you are, of course, Mug Club members, you'll be able to chat.
	We'll be doing giveaways.
	I don't think I'll be receiving a relief check because my wife and I have the gall, I believe, to make over $75,000 a year joint household income.
	But we're still going to give away some money.
	And guns?
	We'll give away a lot of stuff.
	I have no idea.
	Is it wrong that a minute ago when you said Samantha Bee's gone that I got excited?
	Yeah, it is wrong.
	It's wrong that you didn't have something more to say about that that was like a punchline, but I was about to turn and ask, is that legal to give away a gun?
	And I realized it's just Stu.
	It's just me.
	Let's be clear.
	Half-Asian Bill will be here for Mug Club Month.
	He just, he can't be here right now because of lockdown and the SARS.
	Of course.
	Which is what I'm most sad about, that I can't make SARS jokes anymore.
	That's lapsed.
	Now it has to be coronavirus, and that's more sad than funny.
	So, also good time this month.
	Subscribe to Criter Bits.
	We're going to have a lot of content going up there on YouTube, also going up on Apple Podcasts, Android, everywhere.
	So a lot of content.
	We know that you guys are kind of quarantined, getting a little stir-crazy, and we don't want you to feel like you're alone.
	Go to lottocreditor.com slash schedule, where you can see the schedule for the whole month.
	We really do appreciate it.
	Not a doctor!
	So this is how we can give back.
	I can't fight fire.
	When I hear fight fire with fire, I'm like, why not water?
	Then it turns out it's a controlled burn.
	So it just shows you, don't call me, call the fire department if your house is on fire.
	And if you have a little bit of a tickle, call an ambulance.
	If you want to watch some juvenile jokes, You tune in here.
	Yeah.
	You know where to go.
	So we are going to be talking a whole lot.
	Dehi Dhanagla will be on the show.
	We'll be talking about how the coronavirus has handed the 2020 election to Donald Trump,
	which brings me to my question of the day.
	How do you think it'll affect the 2020 election?
	Do you think it makes President Trump more likely, less likely to win re-election?
	And do you think the daily televised press conferences have helped or hurt?
	Spoiler alert, CNN, Rachel Maddow, and everyone on the left thinks that it actually helps
	him so they want to stop broadcasting it.
	That is freedom.
	First, all the bad information out there, we do want to do our part, be responsible.
	You should trust the medical professionals at the CDC.
	God's gonna put a cancer in the butthole of every sodomite.
	Every sodomite's butthole will get cancer in the butthole!
	God's gonna have a flame coming out of your butthole!
	You're going to have a flame coming out of your butthole!
	If you thought that AIDS was bad, you ain't seen nothing yet!
	and there'll be people walking around all over America with flames coming out of their butthole.
	First off, they shouldn't be walking around anywhere with the lockdown.
	Well, stay home if you have flames out of your butthole.
	His area of specialty may be proctology.
	Yes, he's very limited in scope.
	He doesn't necessarily understand the geographical equation.
	They'll be walking all over the country.
	It'll look like a topographical map of flaming buttholes across the land!
	A butthole!
	I don't want to see no topographical map!
	I don't want to see butthole flames in the Alps!
	We don't have the Alps!
	The Appalachian Trail!
	You know!
	Flaming buttholes!
	Bang!
	What's the rise, by the way, of self-quarantining?
	It's not that awesome, Gerald.
	Yeah, no.
	Not it is.
	Also the Sistine Chapel, that's just...
	Yeah, that is awesome.
	It's amusing, stash disturbing.
	It's too, I apologize, it's a little different from the Glenn Beck show.
	No, it's a tad different.
	It's just a little tone.
	So with the rise of the self-quarantining, you know, people live and play a lot of board games at home.
	This is a thing people in the past, you know, Tom Hanks.
	Here's one thing, as a white man, and I don't want to get into identity politics,
	it's easy to forget that some folks don't feel represented in board games.
	So it is nice to see some of the toy companies have been stepping up to be more inclusive.
	Rock'em Sock'em Rabbis!
	Oh boy!
	Rock'em Sock'em Rabbis!
	Boom!
	Right in the kipper!
	Press the buttons!
	Move the joystick thingies!
	Knock his kipper to the floor!
	Right in the boonum!
	You're the winner!
	He's just like me!
	Best two out of three?
	Dad, you're my best friend.
	Rock'em Sock'em Rabbis!
	By Milton Bradstead.
	Milton Bradson's stepping up to the plate.
	They are!
	Good for them.
	They do control big board games.
	I sent that to my friend Ben Shapiro and Jeremy at the Daily Wire.
	Jeremy Boring sent me back a gif laughing his ass off.
	Not a peep from Ben, so Ben, I apologize.
	It's easier for me to ask for forgiveness afterwards.
	It does seem like board games, when you're just handing dice back and forth to each other in a quarantine situation, is not ideal.
	Suboptimal.
	Especially when you have to blow on the dice or rub them on your taint.
	That's a weird thing.
	That doesn't make it lucky dice.
	It does make it lucky.
	That does help.
	Oh, yeah.
	Do it in Vegas.
	They can't stop you.
	The casinos cannot stop you.
	Come on, Snickers!
	We lost the nest egg!
	So, finally, fast food chain, not finally, we have a lot to do.
	Wishful thinking.
	Fast food chain, Chick-fil-A, they've been closing their dining rooms, allowing takeout.
	And drive-thru only delivery orders to combat the spread of coronavirus.
	So good for them.
	But not to be outdone, Taco Bell has announced that their tacos will now contain 14% less bat meat.
	14% less.
	But it gives that little taste.
	You might think that 14% seems arbitrary.
	They've done their cost analysis.
	They have, yes.
	Ratios.
	They can only afford 14%.
	By the way, international news.
	You guys don't do as much international news over there.
	No, we do not.
	It's America first.
	America.
	America first.
	You stop.
	Internationally, Charles, he tested positive for the coronavirus.
	So, you know, can't catch a break.
	I think we have this from CNN.
	Someone over 70, the Duke of Edinburgh is considered to be at higher risk than average for coronavirus.
	So, see, dogs can be carriers.
	And I know it seems like a cheap shot, but I took it.
	That's rough.
	It is a cheap shot.
	Oh, come on.
	She broke up that whole thing.
	Princess Diana?
	I agree.
	Put her next to Princess Diana.
	See, I always thought she looked more like a horse.
	You think a dog.
	I thought she looked like that Afghan breed of dog.
	But I could see, are we talking like Arabian?
	Are we talking Clydesdale?
	Yeah, I don't know.
	That's a good question.
	Not a fast horse.
	I feel like a slow horse.
	So probably Clydesdale area.
	Like a retarded horse?
	Yeah.
	Well, wait.
	No.
	Yes.
	Oh, I see what you're saying.
	Just in case we weren't demonetized with flanning buttholes.
	I wanted to make sure.
	Do we find out here if Queen Elizabeth is immortal now?
	I don't know.
	Is it like the blood of the incestuous keeps you young?
	Keeps you young but ugly?
	Is that what it is?
	I watched Dracula on Netflix.
	First two episodes were great.
	Third one, not so much.
	Despite, by the way, Mohammed's saying that all of your diseases, in the Quran, that all of your diseases will be healed if you go to Medina.
	The cities of Mecca and Medina are nearly empty right now.
	So people are not making their pilgrimages.
	There are no men in Mecca.
	So you know what that means.
	It's ladies night!
	So get your free punch bowls.
	Get your beatings on the beach.
	The fear in her eyes.
	The beautiful fear.
	That was, like, nice.
	You were into that.
	I like that.
	Yeah.
	The beautiful fear in her eyes.
	The way it should be.
	That's what he was thinking.
	The way it is meant to be.
	Must present valid identification, six and older.
	By the way, we have... Aw, come on.
	That's not a limiting factor.
	What, are they going to not sleep with six-year-olds?
	What if they want to?
	I don't know.
	What do you want them to ask?
	Sorry, you're going to have to, by the way, put your home in a blind trust.
	Okay.
	It's a fun process.
	And we actually have two non-coronavirus stories, because I know a lot of you have been burnt out.
	And to be clear, too, with the Mug Club quarantine, the month, we're doing some live chat with you guys.
	We will still do a Thursday show.
	Tuesday is similar to the Thursday show.
	But we're doing a lot more conversational shows, live video game streaming.
	So if it feels a little more relaxed right now, you know, we can't do this nine times a week.
	We can, but I'd kill myself.
	And then who are you paying?
	Porter Black Garrett?
	Stew?
	Yeah, no, definitely.
	You know what that's like.
	So we do.
	We have two non-coronavirus stories.
	In China, an army of 100,000 ducks have been recruited to fight off a plague of locusts.
	So another plague over there.
	This, according to my favorite news source, the Book of Revelation.
	Beware the four quack men.
	Might be connected.
	Yeah.
	Obvious question here, who kills the ducks when this is over?
	You don't need an army of tigers to kill the ducks?
	No, they just eat them alive.
	They're gonna eat them, yeah.
	Eat them alive.
	You will hear the whales across the sea.
	I feel like you... Quack!
	Quack!
	Quack Actually, I wouldn't feel bad for Canadian geese.
	They're the... They're the scum of the earth.
	They're the scum of the earth.
	They poop and they attack.
	That's it.
	They have two op... That's it.
	There's only two modes.
	There's poop mode and attack mode.
	Have you been... I've been attacked by Canadian geese, like, three times.
	Really?
	I mean, physical contact.
	Three times.
	Yeah.
	Really?
	That's it.
	Who won?
	Well, I mean, I just ran away like a... I ran away like a pussy.
	What am I, a goose?
	It's a wild animal!
	Yeah, and then somebody's got video of you beating up a defenseless wild animal.
	They don't register pain the same way we do, right?
	They peck, and we're like, ow!
	And they're just like... They don't know.
	They don't care.
	No.
	I have a family, like, story where I was actually bit by a bat as a child.
	What?
	Yes.
	So you're the reason!
	I'm the reason.
	Like, I'm Wuhan Stu.
	That's me.
	That's gonna stick right now.
	My parents came out and saw there was a bat, like, I guess I must have knocked it or something, and it was right next to us, and I had a bite mark on my stomach as a little kid.
	What do you mean you guess you might have knocked a bat?
	They hang up in the ceiling upside down.
	There's no accidental bat knocking.
	Well, they swooped at me or something, and I used my reflexes, my childlike reflexes.
	I was able to knock down the bat.
	The bat somehow struggled to its feet, walked over, took a bite out of my stomach, And then we have the coronavirus.
	That's how it happens.
	This is like a Rocky story, the bat just never goes down.
	And the next Trump presser.
	It came from stew.
	This just in.
	Stew, stop f***ing with bats.
	That's okay, we'll bleep it.
	Long week, getting ready for a long month.
	Another story, hard seltzer brand White Claw have released three new flavors.
	Lemon, watermelon, and tangerine.
	Most excited about this news, drunk p***ies.
	You don't like the White Claw?
	I'm not a fan.
	Really?
	I'm all in on the White Claw.
	Wow.
	I don't care.
	I never said I was a masculine guy.
	I never even tried it.
	That's fair.
	It was going so well for you, Stu, right up until the last two segments.
	White Claw.
	Right up until the last two.
	Really?
	I think you're doing fine.
	Really?
	Yeah.
	Don't take it from him.
	He's the bad guy, and now he likes White Claw.
	He's a drunk.
	I can see that.
	He's always drunk.
	He's always drinking wine.
	For some reason, if you're drunk on wine all the time, you're like, ooh, connoisseur.
	Culture.
	Sorry.
	I don't have culture.
	I don't have manliness.
	I have none of those things.
	I'm an essential worker, okay guys?
	Are you essential?
	I'm sorry.
	My business is essential.
	How did that work out in Schindler's List?
	That was actually, no, that was a scene.
	That was, by the way, this is, no, no, hold on a second.
	We know, we know.
	Let's keep going, guys.
	We know we do film opens.
	Johnny Boy, my Canadian friend, he said, hey, how about you parody this scene?
	And it was, very essential workers.
	I'm like, from Schindler's List?
	What are you thinking?
	Are you out of your mind?
	And then we had, this happened this week, that, and then I love him dearly, even Brendan, but he said, hey, can my family come in to the studio to watch the show?
	And I said, what?
	They're, they're, they're nine states away.
	He said, well, yeah, but they, you know, they planned a vacation.
	I said, well, the tickets are refundable right now.
	He said, no, they're driving.
	Short of loading up the car to New York on September 12th, 2001, there couldn't be a worse time for travel.
	Terrible idea.
	They don't really have it there.
	I'm like, I know they live in a rural area, but they're staying at Hacienda Courts and every Valero station and touching the gas pump.
	Bless their heart.
	No, so he's working from home.
	I do want to hear from you guys if you think that 2020 has changed with the coronavirus.
	I think this actually has cinched it for Donald Trump.
	But before we get to that, finally, San Francisco, obviously you know that it's been completely shut down.
	In response to the coronavirus pandemic, residents are being ordered complete shelter in place to stay in their homes.
	It's one of the strictest protocols across the country.
	San Franciscans, of course, responded with, but where will we s**t?
	Now... try the corner!
	The corner's just a byproduct of patriarchy, to be clear.
	It really is.
	Angles.
	People don't talk about that enough.
	They don't.
	They don't.
	Because of the quarantine, though, this is to San Francisco.
	There's been a huge uptick in, you should like this, Court of Black Garrett.
	We'll be doing a free mug club month.
	Really?
	Entering the promo code quarantine.
	$30 off.
	Everyone gets a student in military pricing.
	Video games.
	We'll be video game streaming.
	They're much more popular now.
	In San Francisco.
	It's been a huge uptick.
	Some of the titles, actually, might surprise you, which brings us to this week's 7 Plus 1!
	You forgot Stefan in the chamber!
	Just so you know, yeah, we are doing 7 Plus 1.
	And Stu, if Glenn fires you, there is no home for you here.
	OK.
	That's very nice.
	Consider me the tiger to your Fred Flintstone, putting you out of the house.
	Oh, OK.
	There's no way you're getting in.
	From the intro, yeah.
	But we're going to have you read to me.
	So this is 7 plus 1 of the most popular video games in San Francisco amidst the coronavirus crisis.
	So number 7 popular game in San Francisco right now is Call of Duty.
	So that's, yeah, that makes sense.
	Kids love that one.
	It's a multiplayer game.
	Stu, how about you take number six?
	Number six, resident needles.
	Yeah, that's a big one.
	Resident needles in San Francisco.
	It's pretty popular.
	This actually is fun because it's an open world, but it's not without consequences.
	Number five, grand theft, autoimmune deficiency.
	Which makes...
	Yeah.
	Oh.
	Geez.
	It's just sad.
	Yeah.
	Uh...
	Audio-wise, give us number four, because I don't want all the liability.
	Number four, angry turds.
	I see it.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah.
	That didn't take much work.
	Um...
	No, it did not.
	But look, no, you can see it's angry.
	Look, it's on the Golden Gate Bridge.
	Yeah.
	There's a lot of work going into something so silly.
	A lot of detail.
	Not really.
	That could have been time put into research.
	Number three popular game in, again, coronavirus quarantine in San Francisco.
	Number three, Mortal Kombat meat.
	So that's, and by the way, Raiden was played by a white guy.
	Yep, totally white.
	It's true.
	Seriously, anytime you put on the rice paddy hat...
	The general rule is just make sure they're actually Asian.
	Yeah.
	At least.
	They didn't get the memo.
	No, no.
	Number two, Gerald G. Morgan Jr., number two.
	Final Fantasy XIX, the homosexual curfew hour.
	Look at that!
	They never stop with the Final Fantasies.
	There are so many.
	And so many of them really matter.
	And the number one most popular video game in San Francisco right now amidst the corona quarantine, Metal Gear Solid Stool.
	So yeah, Solid Snake.
	He's gonna have a flame coming out of his butthole hiding behind bushes and buildings and try not to make sounds, but his butthole will be making all kinds of fiery sounds.
	To be clear, He's not actually from the CDC.
	I don't want you to fact check this.
	We're going to get fake news.
	Oh, and I forgot, the one in the chamber.
	And the plus one, most popular video game title right now in San Francisco, Super Smash Brothers, which really is, yeah, just a placeholder.
	So that concludes this week's 7 Plus 1.
	You forgot the van in the chamber!
	Always forget the one in the chamber.
	And we will be reading some of your live chat next week.
	9 p.m.
	Central, 10 p.m.
	Eastern, Monday morning, our first morning show.
	So you can only do the live chat, though, at Blaze.
	We're not doing it on YouTube because we don't want to give YouTube money.
	9 a.m.
	A.m., not p.m., a.m.
	What did I say, p.m.?
	You said p.m.
	Well, we're doing p.m.
	as well.
	I'm doing so many shows!
	Son of a gun!
	So many shows!
	I can't stop with the shows.
	Gotcha.
	There's so many shows.
	Frankly.
	The best shows.
	Okay, people, they always say, I do too many shows.
	I say no.
	I can do more.
	But they say you give so much.
	And I do.
	I do give so much.
	What do you think, Stu, before we get into this?
	Do you think this has helped Donald Trump or hurt Donald Trump?
	Well, it's still yet to be seen, right?
	If this turns into zombie apocalypse, it's probably not going to get elected.
	Maybe nobody.
	If he can come to the point where he looks competent through this, especially if this thing bounces back, It's going to be, he's going to have some smooth sailing out of it.
	Yeah, I think it's going to go pretty well.
	I think this actually is already a sensitive deal.
	Let me kind of make some points as to why, and you guys can let me know where you think I'm wrong.
	You can let me know, as you very often do.
	The media's been trying to claim that he's been terrible at his job, okay?
	But Donald Trump's overall approval rating, and by the way, this is where polls matter, not like when Bernie Sanders says, look at Venezuela, they prefer their healthcare.
	They do in Cuba, but they die.
	So they prefer it up until the moment where, you know, they die.
	So that's, you know, and by the way, we'll be talking with Denogla who had an operation on his testicles.
	Scrotum and testicles operation.
	Unbagged his groceries.
	They put him back.
	One thing that I love about it, don't you love that right now stores have said don't use reusable bags because they transmit disease.
	It's like, oh, for a sec, it's almost like that's why we had plastic bags and straws.
	You moron.
	I love how all that stuff just goes right out the window.
	Seriously.
	Who doesn't want a straw right now?
	Weren't we not told that the whole environment was the biggest threat?
	As soon as something else happens, they all abandon it.
	But also, the same sort of Eddie Haskell's, it's still China.
	When it comes to climate change, it's still China.
	And now when it comes to viruses, it's still China.
	Debt pattern, China.
	A lot of it.
	I mean, I don't want to vilify an entire nation of people, but China's a horrible place.
	So, not the people, but the government.
	Again, let's be really clear.
	I hope that those people are liberated eventually from this government.
	It's a shame to me that the media is carrying the water for the Chinese propagandist government.
	You want to know who's not a fan of Jake Tapper?
	All the Chinese who don't work for the government.
	So this is where polls matter because Donald Trump, amidst a crisis, and this is kind of important because you see this quite a bit historically, it's a good indicator, 60% of Americans actually approve of his response to coronavirus.
	His recent approval rating with Gallup, risen from 44% to 49%.
	Who do Americans rate the worst right now, by the way?
	The fake, fake lying news media.
	That's what they rate as the worst aspect of American culture.
	Second worst is late night hosts broadcasting from their bathroom without a lavalier mic.
	That's up there.
	Not expensive.
	We get it.
	We get it.
	It's raw.
	It's organic, Samantha Bee and Jimmy Kimmel, but can't you just take a portion of the 12 million salary and just get a rogue mic?
	You were wearing a suit and a bathtub, so do that.
	It's unreal to me.
	And this is also, by the way, why they want to lean on YouTube, right?
	Vox, NBCUniversal.
	They realize they can't compete when they start putting this content.
	No one wants to watch Seth Meyers in his hallway.
	Not more than once at the very least.
	Yeah, right.
	I don't know.
	God, I hope Lilly Singh gets quarantined.
	Because Trump's approval rating for Democrats just overall is 13%, right?
	Super, super low.
	He got 29% approval from Democrats on his handling of coronavirus.
	Wow.
	Over twice the amount of Democrats approve of his handling than just generally like him.
	That's huge.
	That's a big number.
	I wonder why that is.
	How much do you think of this as just rallying around the president in a crisis?
	I don't think that because the media has been attacking him non-stop.
	So, I mean, you could say maybe people just are tired of seeing someone getting, you know, pummeled by the bullying media at some point and fighting back.
	It would be different, for example, with Barack Obama and there was, you know, there was obviously the recession or right after 9-11.
	These people didn't have such mistrust for the media, whereas at this point they're very open in their attacks on him.
	I don't know.
	I don't know.
	It's a good question.
	You guys let us know.
	But I do have some other points that I think will hopefully build the case that hopefully that's not the case.
	Here's a point.
	OK, so travel bans.
	To answer your question, Stu, I don't know that President Trump has done a whole lot differently than any other president would.
	I think there's a limited amount of control that you have.
	The CDC doesn't really have anything necessarily to do with Trump.
	They sort of operate independently.
	And we didn't have the right information from China.
	The World Health Organization did not declare it a crisis or a pandemic until March 12th.
	So to be clear, I know everyone's trying to score political points.
	I can't say that Donald Trump has done everything right or differently than another president.
	But Johnny Boy, who had the horrible idea of the Schindler's List parody, Had a very good point here.
	I do know one thing that President Trump has specifically done differently than all other leaders, and that's his travel ban from China.
	It was big.
	Donald Trump banned it early.
	They didn't do that elsewhere.
	They didn't do it with the same vigor, you should say.
	And we can compare that directly with his competitor in a general election, Joe Dementia Biden, who claimed that the travel ban was xenophobic.
	So this is remarkable to me.
	Even if everything else from President Trump were terrible, it was absolutely, let's say he handled everything as poorly as can be, he's still not as bad as Joe Biden.
	It is a miracle.
	They put up someone in the general, if I'm Donald Trump and I go into this general election, there's a debate with Joe Biden, right?
	And he says, oh, it wasn't enough of a response.
	I just coach Donald Trump, say, all right, let it fly.
	Well, listen, I put the ban on travel from China.
	You said it was racist.
	So when would you have put travel restrictions on China, Joe?
	And he won't be able to answer probably himself, you know, and forget where he is for a little bit.
	Can you imagine he's back to back competitors so far are going to be Hillary Clinton and Joe Biden, like the two
	right weakest people to put up against anyone.
	Yeah, well, especially though, on the coronavirus.
	In other words, they he has no leg to stand on on what will be the hot button issue here.
	Absolutely. If it were just some random recession or something that happened, they could try and attribute it to
	policy. Right. Right.
	But with this, it's clear as day.
	Donald Trump did something proactive.
	You accuse him of racism.
	And by the way, Biden was just following lockstep with the media.
	They claimed it was nonsensical, an emotional reaction.
	This is from Vox, New York Times.
	They also said that we shouldn't really worry about the coronavirus, that it was less than the flu.
	But now they try to act like that's just a right-wing talking point.
	We got it from you.
	One of Italy's, wasn't it one of Italy's virologists?
	He said, when responding to the outbreak, that the fear of the political fallout from enacting a travel ban made the pandemic much worse in Italy.
	This is what he said.
	Now, the American media was saying, no, no, no, don't listen to that guy who works in Italian government.
	It has nothing to do with open borders.
	Yeah, exactly.
	And the entire EU was pissed, because Donald Trump said, we're handling this better than the EU.
	We actually put a travel ban in before the EU.
	And Italy's like, well, we put our travel ban in for four days earlier, and it didn't help us.
	So now they're all pissed off about that.
	It's like, actually, this works.
	This does help stop.
	It didn't help you, but it is helping everybody else.
	Italy only put a travel ban in from China.
	From China.
	They didn't do it.
	The rest of the borders were effectively open.
	So we are at a point where political correctness could quite literally be killing people.
	LGBTQAI and people died.
	That's the point here.
	Hands up, don't shoot.
	I mean, no, this is an actual thing.
	You don't ban travel from China where the virus originates, people will die.
	And you go back to, like, our definition of political correctness is different than the original, right?
	The original is from Marxist states where, and this is very specific, where the Chinese government, they decided the politically correct thing for doctors to do is deny that there was a virus.
	Yeah.
	So this is legitimately, this entire thing is actually an extension of political correctness.
	Right.
	Yeah.
	And it's dangerous.
	It's not without consequences.
	People think it's, well, I'm being nice because I'm not offending people.
	And we'll get to that in a second.
	Yeah, Joe.
	We talked about this too, going back to your point in the EU.
	It's great that we have a defensible border right now.
	It's great that we have a border that we can control to some degree.
	The EU wishes they had that right now.
	Yeah.
	Because people can just come in and go wherever they want.
	Like you said, a travel ban is only effective if it's everybody coming to your country from China, period.
	And it's not the only thing.
	There's been obviously a multifaceted approach from President Donald Trump, but this is one thing that you can say is singularly unique in comparison to whether it's Biden or Bernie, but it seems like the candidate will obviously be Biden unless, you know, they don't have enough smelling salts.
	But the point is, I think that's a stark contrast.
	And by the way, can we just say, Joe Biden is really unwell.
	He is not doing well at all.
	This week, he had a series of disastrous media appearances.
	First, I think we have this one with a failed teleprompter on a live stream.
	Watch.
	It's sad.
	Beef up the number of responders dealing with these crushing cases.
	And in addition to that, we have to make sure that we are in a position that we are... Well, let me go to the second thing.
	It's sad.
	The President must use the Defense Production Act.
	Yeah, there is no second thing.
	Let me go to the second thing.
	Oh, Joe, what's the second thing?
	The third thing.
	The three things.
	There are three more than one or two.
	What'd I stop?
	I like the hand motion there.
	It looks like he's checking someone for testicular cancer.
	And cough?
	Very roughly.
	Cough!
	What?
	Huh?
	What'd he say?
	Huh?
	What?
	I'm fine.
	What kind of a piece of shit do you have to be to keep putting him out there in that condition?
	I know.
	It's really, seriously.
	I'm asking seriously.
	It's not a punchline.
	Someone needs to, like, you just need to have someone waving it off.
	Like, stop!
	Enough!
	Wave off the fight!
	Then after this he, what were you gonna say?
	What?
	I'm so confused.
	Joe Biden makes me stupider, having watched him.
	That's the virus we should be most concerned about is the Biden-itis.
	It looks like, you know, in Rocky, I think it was Rocky 4, right?
	Apollo Creed is in there fighting Ivan Drago.
	Oh, yeah.
	And Rocky's there.
	He's got the towel.
	He's going to throw in the towel and he doesn't throw it in.
	It costs Apollo his life.
	Right.
	That's what his family needs to be there with a towel and throw the towel.
	It's over for Joe.
	And it's very fitting because Putin will In hot topics, we talked about Trump saying the government would reassess the recommended period for keeping businesses shut and people at home.
	won't do the fist bump though because six feet we understand that so he then
	went on The View and the responses they weren't they were not at all coherent.
	In Hot Topics we talked about Trump saying the government would reassess the
	recommended period for keeping businesses shut and people at home. Are
	you at all concerned as Trump said that we cannot let the cure be worse than the
	problem itself? We have to take care of the cure.
	That will make the problem worse no matter what.
	We have to take care of the cure.
	No, in this, I don't want to be that guy of the gotcha.
	In his defense, he didn't misspeak.
	All Thursday, doesn't even start.
	It's Friday, I'm in love.
	See, I get it all confused.
	I thought he was taking care of the Smiths.
	They're almost interchangeable.
	Perhaps Joy Division.
	This is very sad.
	Full month of it coming your way.
	Yeah, it really is.
	Anyway, yeah, I agree.
	They need to throw in the towel.
	So let's get back to coronavirus, because that's what we care about right now.
	The Democrats obviously have been blocking, you know, the relief bill.
	We've been talking about this stimulus bill.
	They blocked the bill from the GOP early on with, I think, was it 1,400 pages, this bill?
	Do we know how many pages it ended up?
	It keeps changing by the day.
	You have to pass it, then you can read it.
	Their counter, I think, had 1,400 pages, and it contained all sorts of ridiculous crap that had nothing to do with the coronavirus.
	I'm sure you've heard of this.
	If you haven't, there's $35 million in funding for the JFK Performing Arts Center, $90 million for an HIV program, $300 million for migration and refugee assistance, Green New Deal style requirements for carbon emissions.
	Listen, over 3.2 million Americans just filed for unemployment.
	And the Democrats are demanding $300 million for illegal immigrants and refugees.
	And the Democrats, you wonder why America, the heartland doesn't think that you have their best interest at heart?
	Because a nutless monkey would be more effective at putting America first.
	And one of the things in the bill here that just came out, Ted Cruz was talking about this I think yesterday, saying, you just raised unemployment benefits from around $11 an hour, which is not enough money for you to sit at home and just collect a paycheck, to $27-ish per hour.
	That's what they raised it to, about $1,100, just over $1,000 a week.
	You can make around $48,000 a year sitting and doing nothing.
	Yeah.
	That's crazy.
	Amazing.
	You're giving him terrible incentives here.
	Oh, I know.
	And you look at this, and this is just basically, today, 3.2 million unemployed.
	It's like a trailer for the movie of a Bernie Sanders or Joe Biden president.
	We're all seeing a preview of it today.
	It's not fun.
	Yeah, when people say, oh, this proves that we need a socialized health care program.
	Really?
	How'd the CDC do?
	Yeah, exactly.
	How did they work it out?
	How did it go in Italy?
	Where right now, if you're over 60, you don't get a ventilator, because they're just rationing.
	They're like, well, listen, you're on your own.
	In a capitalist country, we have other companies jump on board.
	And why are we getting testing kits?
	We're getting more testing kits because of private labs stepping up.
	We talked about that with Dr. Chor.
	We're getting more masks.
	Actually, Origin, Jaco, they're going to be sending us some masks.
	They're making masks right now.
	3M, is it Hanes, Honeywell?
	The private sector has stepped up, and they are the ones who are helping Americans.
	Fixing the CDC's crap hole.
	Yeah, because the CDC is the closest thing we have to a single-payer program here.
	And South Korea, who's getting all the praise, they just embrace the free market faster.
	Their government made a decision to go to the private market, and it worked.
	They did that, and they also kind of doxed their citizens, so that wasn't a hassle.
	That's a minor part of the story.
	I mean, if you're willing to just have Apple hand over your geotagging and post it for public to avoid Steven, well, there you go.
	And we can do the South Korea thing.
	Also, if we're all, if we're just a monolith racially, because it's different, people respond to diseases a little bit differently, it's more predictable.
	Not saying it because, oh Asians, saying it because it is not nearly as diverse as the United States, and it's tough to control a virus.
	We have a different, all different kinds of ages.
	We have all, we probably have more genders in South Korea, now I'm sure about that.
	Come on!
	They're still on two!
	Does anyone here know how a pansexual, on a molecular biology level, how they respond to the coronavirus?
	A pansexual on a pandemic.
	I would pay a nickel to see that cellular symbiosis in a petri dish.
	I trust Joe Biden's teleprompter more than I trust the DNC.
	DNC, I'm looking out for the United States right now.
	There are a lot of things that I trust more than the DNC, namely all of them.
	Here's another thing.
	This was a big deal and it may seem inconsequential.
	But I think, to go back to your point, I think this is why Americans think that Donald Trump is doing a better job handling this, and they, if it were just in a vacuum, Donald Trump, oh, we approve a rallying around the leader, that wouldn't explain the distrust of the media.
	That tells me there's a conflict.
	That tells me that to most Americans, including Democrats, there's kind of a hero and a villain here.
	And a big part of that was, of course, if you haven't been following, I don't know, you have the Chinese virus controversy.
	We continue our relentless effort to defeat The Chinese virus.
	Why do you keep using this?
	A lot of people say it's racist.
	It's not racist at all.
	Not at all.
	It comes from China.
	That's why.
	It comes from China.
	I want to be accurate.
	As you know, China tried to say at one point, maybe they stopped now, that it was caused by American soldiers.
	That can't happen.
	It's not going to happen.
	Not as long as I'm president.
	It comes from China.
	Seeing some important developments in our war against the Chinese virus.
	I love the pausing.
	China.
	China.
	C-H-I-N-A.
	China.
	China.
	If you're going to fix a problem, you need to speak truth.
	You can't be obfuscated behind all this political correctness.
	You have to speak truth.
	And what it is, it came from China.
	That's where it originates from.
	Why is Trump saying Chinese virus valuable?
	It's not just because it offends all the right people.
	For the same reason that instituting a travel ban from China was valuable.
	For the same reason that Trump's brass pendulous sack in comparison to Biden's shriveled, demented Raisinets is valuable.
	Trump, he's not allowing political correctness to dictate policy best for Americans.
	Also, I'll tell you why Chinese virus is important.
	And you see this a lot with all of these, and you see it even in the Christian community.
	And the virtue signaling community is like, we should be nice.
	No, no.
	You know why Chinese virus is important?
	Because a communist regime who tried to blame this virus on our American troops doesn't get to rewrite history.

	And, uh, hey, look, Stu's drinking from his mug.
	Quick, go to him.
	See, he can't talk.
	Aww, he turned it around.
	That's embarrassing.
	To go back to the point of the media, this is something that's really important to me.
	I don't know how more clearly we could see the media overreach right now.
	When they start blaming Donald Trump for people eating Koi pond cleaner, When I saw the story, I was like, no, they're not going to jump on this.
	There's no way that they lack the self-awareness to blame Donald Trump for simpletons, for mongoloids, drinking Koi pond cleaner.
	And then they do!
	I love it!
	It shows who they are.
	We've had a hard time getting people to sometimes understand on the left
	that, hey, look, the media is really biased.
	Like, you're living in that bubble, apparently.
	This is showing very clearly, like, we're not making this up.
	We're not just saying that Trump's always right.
	He's not.
	When he's wrong, we have to call him out, right?
	We have to hold him to account.
	But look what they're doing.
	Some lady murdered her husband, essentially.
	And some ploy to like, just, oh, we thought I had chloroquilator, or whatever it was.
	And they covered it as chloroquine, whatever.
	Chlorophyll.
	What are you, what, calazepam?
	Is that wine bottle?
	Did you recork that?
	I know you have that because you're doing my best to...
	Let me just give you a rapid-fire recap as to all of the dishonesties here.
	No, I was itching my head.
	Oh, you were itching your head.
	Okay.
	You can't move.
	It's a nice head.
	Yeah, let me just give you a rapid fire recap as to all of their, all of the dishonesties
	here.
	So something you probably heard, Trump disbanded the pandemic, the pandemic unit there at the
	CDC, was it CDC or the White House?
	I don't know.
	I was going to say NHS.
	Yeah.
	Actually, he just condensed it with other units so that the expertise could be pulled
	It was actually a decision to make government more effective and efficient, not less.
	How dare he?
	They tried to say that Trump cut CDC funding, reducing the outreach from 49 countries to 10, including cutting their work in China.
	The truth is, it wasn't a direct cut.
	It was a depletion of previously allocated funds, and the CDC got that money from elsewhere, so it's a wash.
	Who cares?
	And the media tried to say that Trump, of course, called the coronavirus a hoax.
	No, what he said with the Democrats pinning the blame on his administration was a hoax.
	And, of course, don't forget the fish tank cleaner, but we all understand that one.
	That one's really stupid.
	It's fun to address, but I don't want to go over it.
	Here's the deal.
	After years, years of the anti-Trump, the Russian collusion, the Ukaine's quid pro quo, The general public, how can they trust the media at all?
	If you've never heard them say one good thing about President Trump, and now they're saying that he's handling the outbreak poorly, when in fact it was the New York Times, the media, who downplayed it.
	Yeah, but you said there were prostitutes peeing on the Formica!
	Everything that you've said is incorrect!
	Why would they trust you now?
	What do you think?
	Do you think it's rallying behind Trump?
	I do think that.
	I think there's a good case here.
	And you see this occasionally from media members when they actually will acknowledge something.
	The Daily, that New York Times podcast, which is basically 30 minutes of them destroying Trump every day in their minds.
	No, I don't listen to it.
	Not with my compromised immune system.
	That's true.
	Be safe.
	I'm susceptible to ear AIDS.
	They had Maggie Haberman on, who was kind of flipped and flopped.
	Jake Gyllenhaal's ugly sister?
	Yes, exactly.
	Every time she shows up on the big screen, I make an audible...
	I think that's everybody.
	Sorry, I interrupted.
	So she said, she admitted, she said, you know what, early on in this situation, Trump banned flights from China, he was called racist, he was called xenophobic, and it turned out that it was a good move, and it was a big move at the time.
	Now, they wrap that in 30 minutes of criticism, but at least if they will acknowledge basic truths, it'll at least give us a chance to understand and listen to the criticism.
	Right.
	They're so unwilling, because they're so obsessed with this guy, that they normally won't even give him a point to his favor, no matter what happens.
	Right.
	Yeah.
	I think it's a real problem.
	By the way, this is something, too.
	They complained about the Republican bill.
	We've heard about this.
	Go back and forth all week.
	We'll talk about it more next week, like the morning show.
	We'll be watching CNN Live, fact-checking.
	So it'll be a little different guest.
	It'll be more like a podcast, radio show, less late-nighty, I guess.
	So we'll be able to talk more in depth about the bill.
	But initially, The left's complained that the Republican bill would allow hospitals, this was a big thing, that they would allow elective procedures to be put on hold to make room for corona patients.
	That included abortions, right?
	So, here's the deal.
	Both sides have accused the other side of playing politics with this bill.
	You're trying to fit this in, and you're trying to earmark this.
	Okay, alright, and let's assume that that is true, because it is true.
	Both sides are trying to play a little bit of political football, right?
	Right now they're trying to shoehorn their crap in.
	Alright, let's assume all of that is true.
	What would be more relevant to a bill exclusively designed to curb the coronavirus and hopefully its economic ripple effect and devastation?
	Helping hospitals alleviate their workload by holding all non-essential procedures like abortions, putting it on hold, or as the Democrats tried to shove into their bill, diversity quotas for corporate boards.
	Getting hospitals masks, respirators, or making sure that there's a newbie in on retainer as an advisor at Dell.
	And I think we do have to go to Denaga here.
	This is something that's really important to you.
	Some people are trying to make this case for socialism.
	I think if you actually observe this objectively, you have to take this as a case against centralized government, because the private sector has stepped up and tried to fix a quagmire that was created by government, regardless of who's in office.
	But it also shows us that, you know what?
	There is a finite amount of resources with government.
	It's ironic to me that the left, they think, well, this person has more, and so I want to take it.
	They don't understand that capitalism for enterprise is not a zero sum game.
	It's not just a piece of the pie.
	You can bake more pies.
	You know what is a fixed pie?
	Government.
	There's only so much money they can take, especially if everybody is unemployed for indefinitely, right?
	There's a limited amount of resources.
	So let's take into account the idea that the government, they've had this Russia hoax investigation going on.
	How many tens of millions, when you add that up and hundreds of millions, I don't know, billions, I don't have the numbers in front of me, the impeachment sham going on.
	And the CDC, how about the CDC?
	Instead of researching gender pronouns and gun control statistics, you do your job!
	That way, people won't take a steaming crap on you as an emblem of systematic corruption and bureaucracy in government looking to the private sector for help.
	There's a fixed amount of resources in the government.
	Seems like maybe we should be a little more prudent in where we use our resources so that we're not caught flat-footed with our pants down again.
	All right, this guy, the Irish guy, Danagla?
	Danagla?
	Danada.
	Don't mention it.

	Anyone who don't like it can get boned.
	All right, our next guest.
	I'm very glad to have him on.
	And he's moved heaven and earth.
	He is.
	To be on the show.
	It's true.
	Because those are the names of his right and left testicle.
	Now, people will think that's not just being dirty for the sake of it.
	He actually had a procedure, but we'll talk about that's not the lead.
	The lead is actually, he's one of the most popular gamers on all of the YouTube.
	The YouTube.
	As Joe Biden refers to it.
	The Tubes.
	Or also, what?
	And he doesn't want to give me his full name because he thinks I'll mispronounce it.
	So you can search just De Nogla on YouTube, but I'm going to try it anyway.
	Mr. Deity De Nogla.
	Was that even close?
	Thank you for being on the show.
	Oh God.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Also, by the way, he also was from an earlier Guy Ritchie film, just in case you didn't know.
	You may speak to confirm.
	Lockstock, yeah.
	Wait, Guy Ritchie?
	What?
	You sound like a character from Snatch was what I was getting at.
	Oh!
	He has references.
	Right, right.
	A good movie.
	Good movie.
	It is a good movie.
	I love that film.
	So how do I say it?
	It's Gaelic, right?
	Yeah, Dahi de Nogla.
	Oh, wow.
	So this is why I didn't say it before.
	I was like, was it Daithi?
	Is it Daithi?
	You knew I wasn't even close.
	Just wanted to make you look stupid.
	You just wanted me to embarrass myself.
	No, no, I told you not to say the first part.
	The second part's okay.
	Noglins, that's all right, you know.
	Yeah, but still, you heard me say diathean.
	You could have said don't say it because you'll sound like an idiot, but instead you reverse psychologied me because you know I'm an idiot.
	That's a good job.
	I don't think that's... If you want to look into it like that, sure.
	Okay.
	I will.
	Well, good, so listen, so right now, if I'm not mistaken, and people, again, you can follow him, just type in Denagla, he's on Twitter, he's on YouTube, does a lot of video gaming, which we'll talk about more on the web extended, because mug club quarantine, this whole month we'll be doing some live video game streaming.
	You're stateside right now, correct?
	Yeah, I'm in LA.
	Okay, and so, wow, you're already so familiar with it that you use the abbreviations.
	What brings you to Los Angeles, and are you stranded?
	Can you not get home now?
	Well, I wasn't planning to go home, so I'm fine.
	I'm fine being here.
	Okay.
	But no, I've been traveling back and forth from Ireland to LA.
	I live in Ireland and I travel to LA frequently.
	Okay.
	And I've been doing that for about a few years now.
	A few years.
	Now, what are you doing in Los Angeles?
	Because you do the gaming thing.
	It seems like you do that from anywhere.
	Yeah, I do the same thing.
	I do the same thing, but I might meet more people that are within the industry, do deals.
	And stuff, network, yadda yadda, all that.
	Right.
	All that boring business jazz.
	Hopefully when you do the deals you don't say it that way, like, I thought we'd do a deal, yadda yadda, you know, stuff, you know.
	That's how it works though.
	So how long are you planning on staying here?
	You've been on the show before but it's been a long time.
	Yeah, it was like two years I was on the show or something like that.
	Yeah.
	And I was in Ireland at the time.
	Now, I hope to go back to Ireland, I don't know, within two months.
	Okay.
	And that's seeming, it may be likely, but right now, I mean, it's got to be... It's a coin flip.
	Yes, exactly!
	It is a coin flip.
	Well, actually, I think it was the Irish authorities, for people who don't know, they tracked right the first case of the coronavirus, WuFlu, from a man who was traveling, was it Northern Italy?
	Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Yes.
	And he came into Dublin and then he went up to Northern Ireland and then he left again or something like that and he was the first person in Ireland to go.
	Yes.
	And then I read somewhere in the Irish press that they were saying Donald Trump is blaming the EU for needing to add Ireland to the US travel ban, which doesn't seem... Have you been following this?
	I haven't followed that specific path, but I've just, I've seen stuff in news and social media and whatnot, but I wouldn't consider myself an expert.
	No, well, none of us are experts.
	We're not doctors or microbiologists.
	You play video games and I tell **** jokes.
	But you still have family, of course, in Ireland, I would imagine.
	Yeah, I have my two dogs there as well, but they're taken care of.
	They're okay.
	Well, they're not carriers, so that's good.
	No, but dogs can get it, apparently.
	Really?
	Yeah, yeah, apparently your dog died from coronavirus.
	Oh my gosh.
	Pretty sad.
	I don't know why I'm laughing.
	That sounds like a BuzzFeed article.
	Now PETA will care.
	I don't believe it.
	Oh, they will.
	Yeah.
	How would you say they've been reacting there in Ireland versus stateside?
	Have you been in communication with your family?
	Is there a big difference?
	Yeah, no, I message them.
	I think it's about the same.
	My mother bought me a giant fridge and stuffed it full of food.
	Right.
	And freezer, just stuffed it full of food pretty early on.
	But I actually flew out to America like first week of March and then it was pretty much like two weeks later, three weeks later, you couldn't fly us.
	Right.
	It was four weeks after not four weeks, but yeah, about six weeks, four weeks after
	the surgery.
	So I got really lucky with how like everything panned out.
	Right. Get to L.A.
	because I have my I have my girlfriend here.
	So, you know, I don't want to be across the country for like an indefinite period of time.
	Right, right.
	Plus, you know, you got to put a ring on it if you want that visa.
	Yeah, yeah, exactly.
	I already have a visa.
	I tell her I don't need you for the visa.
	It's not like 90 Day Fiancé and I'm just with you for the green card.
	Right, right.
	I actually already have a visa to be here.
	Yeah.
	So you reverse psychologied her as well.
	Yeah, I'm pretty good at psychology.
	He's pretty good.
	It's the Irish Forte.
	I guess sort of, because some people stateside, too, have been getting this wrong.
	And I spent some time in Ireland.
	I don't, frankly, I don't have much interest in going elsewhere in Europe at this point, because I've had official complaints with Twitter.
	What is it?
	China?
	Pakistan?
	Was it somewhere in the U.K.
	for drawing Muhammad?
	For people here who don't necessarily understand, because obviously Italy, we've talked about this, they didn't close their borders for a long time.
	Sometimes people don't realize that the United States, you know, it's bigger than a lot of areas when we're talking about like the UK, right?
	Or even if you include the UK, I mean, I'm trying to think of all even surrounding countries.
	The United States alone is bigger.
	And so we don't think of how important those borders kind of are when they are different countries in a continent like Europe.
	Is this something that you think might, for example, have ramifications for Brexit now because people over there understand that they need to be able to kind of seal things up in a pandemic?
	Personally, I think, you know, humans are fairly slow to change.
	So I don't think, I think it'll have very little impact politically in terms of like how people perceive borders.
	They'll probably just boil it down to something else.
	Right.
	You know what I mean?
	They'll find something else that makes them not think of a change that's necessary for future.
	Right.
	You know, like ideally, Because it's so long getting through.
	Borders anyway, these days.
	Right.
	In Europe.
	Lines and whatnot.
	How long, so what is it like?
	I've only done, you know, I've done customs going obviously to Ireland, but I, having been raised in Canada, I would go through the Canadian-United States borders, and sometimes it could be kind of lengthy.
	One time I got in trouble because I bought a pair of shorts from Old Navy, American flag shorts, and I didn't claim it, and I was put in a back room for a while.
	But what is it like in Europe going through borders right now?
	Um, it's fairly simple.
	It's fairly simple.
	It's a bit awkward going to a country that, like, they don't really speak your language or anything like that, so... Right.
	So it's when you're explaining why you're there, but usually it's just I'm on a holiday and they're like, yeah, come on in.
	Wow, that doesn't sound like a crack security squad.
	No, no, but you do have to line up and talk to somebody and stuff like that.
	But the ones that I would say are tougher are like American immigration.
	Because you have to, like, they have one in Shannon, and then they have one, if you don't fly from Shannon to the U.S., you have to meet the immigration in the U.S.
	Yeah.
	And, yeah, they can be, some of them can be real hard asses.
	And, like, if they don't understand what you're saying, and I have to explain, like, my YouTube job.
	Yeah.
	Like, they're like... Plus, with your accent.
	What are you talking about?
	With your accent, Americans assume you're drunk.
	Like, I got an alcoholic in PSA Line 4.
	Well, I'd be waking up tired as well going off to 6 a.m.
	flights, so yeah, you're probably right.
	Yeah.
	But yeah, once I got my visa, they pretty much got very relaxed about it, because this visa was pretty much like, this guy's safe, everything like that.
	But before the visa, when I was traveling on an ESTA, they were really hard-ass about it, and sometimes I was standing there like, Might be going home here.
	Right.
	That used to happen with my mom a lot.
	You know, my mom always used to make this joke.
	She's French-Canadian.
	So we would go through the border just north of Plattsburgh in a place called Champlain.
	People out there, if you know from upstate New York, you know what I'm talking about, let me know.
	There's nothing there.
	That's how cool the United States was to Canadians.
	I don't know if you felt the same when you came to the States, but we would go to the States for like Taco Bell and Gap and things like that.
	And we would always go through to Plattsburgh and my mom would get nervous.
	And my mom, when my mom has a tendency, she's French-Canadian, when she gets nervous, to make other people nervous.
	Oh yeah, that's moms.
	That's just mom nervous.
	No, no, no, no, no, no.
	I've met other moms.
	They're amateurs.
	With my mom, my dad would go through, they'd say, okay, and citizens, and my dad would say, all three American citizens and one alien.
	And my mom would go, beep, beep, and hold up her card like this.
	And they'd say, I don't like you at all.
	And the French-Canadian accent sounds like a cartoon character to a lot of people.
	It doesn't sound like a real accent.
	So she was constantly questioned.
	Now, here's one thing I do want to ask you, because you had surgery, then you were traveling.
	A lot of people don't know this because they weren't necessarily traveling, certainly not internationally.
	It wasn't declared a pandemic, I think, until March 12th.
	So you traveled before that.
	Ten days before that.
	No, eight days before.
	And were you really scared?
	Because I remember I traveled not long before it either, and it really wasn't even in the air.
	People act like we all knew.
	We certainly didn't when I was traveling domestically.
	Were you afraid, or was it just kind of off the radar?
	Well, I was definitely more cautious than normal.
	So, you know, I brought hand sanitizer, wipes.
	Even then, they were pretty much sold out in Ireland back Back early March.
	Oh, wow.
	So, yeah, my mother stocked up on that as well.
	The motors.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	So and thankfully, in my second flight, I was on the first flight.
	I just I was a seat away from someone else.
	And so I was good.
	And then my second flight, my long flight, I was in the back right corner.
	And no, I couldn't even see anyone.
	From where I was sitting, and so basically, yeah, I was never really near anyone.
	Right.
	And so I think that made it easier on my mind.
	Yeah.
	There was no one coughing right next to me, basically.
	Right.
	Well, I imagine it made it easier on your mind, which brings me to my next point.
	How are your balls?
	So for people who don't know, You had a recent surgery, to quote you in your video, you said they... I hope I'm not blowing the lid off, because you did speak about it publicly on YouTube.
	Yeah, no, no, go ahead.
	They unbagged your groceries, you said.
	Oh, yeah, that's a good way of putting it.
	That's what you said, I think, in your video.
	I know, I know, I'm just complimenting myself.
	Okay, thank you very much.
	There you go.
	What was the procedure, exactly?
	So, it was a hydrosuit repair.
	It's fairly rare, like, One of you guys could have it, and you wouldn't even know it.
	What?
	What?
	Huh?
	Not yet, anyway.
	We're concerned with other health issues right now.
	I'm just learning to wash my hands properly.
	I have to sing Happy Birthday twice.
	I have to start checking my balls.
	Wash your hands and wash your balls.
	Yeah, but I don't sing Happy Birthday when I wash my balls.
	I sing Call on Me from Chicago, the techno remix, because it seems appropriate.
	Extended.
	I don't want to imagine that, so we're going to move on here.
	Yeah, you already are, so I've served my purpose.
	But yeah, it's hard to see repair.
	Basically, there's like this A little kind of tube that goes down into your testes, and then around that tube there's like this skin thing, and above that there's like, you know, your grind.
	I'm imagining it now, the grafts, you know?
	And then basically imagine like something like, just holes, something hole opened up.
	Don't know how, they don't even know how it happens.
	They think it's inflammation, trauma.
	They don't actually know.
	And then imagine like a small drip of liquid just coming down through that.
	Like, several years.
	For me, it's weird having balls that are normal sized, because I don't remember when they were normal.
	So you were just bragging to everyone, like, I've got the biggest balls you've ever seen!
	And they're like, yeah, you might want to get that checked out.
	I can't say that anymore now, I've got normal balls.
	Apparently they were normal like five years ago because one time when I was going up the stairs you have like boxers that are you know a bit showy on the sides.
	I was going up the stairs and my brother was saying goodnight to me or something like that and he looked up and saw my balls and he said he said he remembers that forever.
	He told me they were normal then.
	You got a nice pair of normal balls there.
	It's about five years of fluid building up and it was about the size of a, it was a pair on the left side.
	The right one was fine.
	It was just shoved out.
	It was like, if you're sitting next to a fat person in a cinema.
	But the left side... Wait, in this scenario, are your balls the fat person?
	No, yes, my left head was the fat person, and the right one was a normal person.
	Okay, alright.
	So the left ball is Kevin Smith, and the right ball is whoever is unfortunate enough to sit next to Kevin Smith.
	I'm trapped.
	And yeah, so the left one was about the size of a pear, and then I was like, okay.
	When I went back down, I got checked out and stuff like that.
	Then they put some fluid on it, did an ultrasound, and they're like, yeah, that's a hydroseal.
	Check me in for surgery.
	I got actually really quick.
	I paid for private.
	I paid out of cash.
	Oh, you didn't go with the universal health care there in Ireland?
	No, no.
	My dad has been on a waiting list, I think for about two years for some surgery or something like that.
	For his balls too?
	Are his balls okay?
	Or your dad's balls are okay?
	I haven't seen them, don't know.
	It's something else with him.
	Okay.
	It's like a reoccurring, I think it might be ulcers or whatever, but, or kidney stones or something like that.
	Two years for kidney stones?
	Because my mom in Canada was a year in, I think it was a year and three months, or it might've been 14 months and some change for an MRI when she ruptured a disc in her lower back.
	And Americans can't believe that when I say it, but it sounds like it's pretty comparable in Ireland for a lot of these things.
	Well, I think it's two years because I remember being at the kitchen table with him and I was like, hey, let me, let me pay for your, uh, you know, your, your operation.
	You can get it done probably in a few weeks or something like that.
	Just pay it through private.
	Yeah.
	And he's just, he's just like, no, like if I, it's fine.
	You know?
	I thought there'd be more justification there.
	No, he's like, I pay my taxes, and they said they're going to do this, so I'm going to make them do it.
	Right.
	So he's kind of like, they work for me mentality.
	In two years.
	They're going to hear from me in two years.
	They'll never hear the end of it.
	A year and a half.
	A year and a half, I'd say.
	Well, you know, I wouldn't I goes that have they contacted you back and they're like, no, they said to do it.
	And they give me a letter saying they do it.
	Yeah.
	So I don't know what he got.
	I don't know what he got.
	You know, how long has that been the case in Ireland?
	Because when I was raised in Canada, we weren't allowed to have any privatized.
	No, in Ireland, you can pay a private, no problem.
	opened it up because so many, they declared it actually, it was a Supreme Court case,
	declared it a violation of human rights because people were willing to pay for care right
	in these scenarios.
	And they said, you can't tell someone who's in agonizing pain or life-threatening condition
	that they can't pay for their own healthcare.
	So did that change more recently?
	No.
	In Ireland, they have, you can pay private, no problem.
	Like my brother, he got jaw surgery a good while back, a good few years ago, maybe four
	years ago.
	And, you know, I advised him to go private, but he decided to wait on public and he was
	about, he was waiting nearly a year and didn't get anything.
	So I was like, just get, just get private, man.
	And he got private and he got it, I don't know, with him.
	I don't know, a few months or whatever, you know?
	Yeah.
	Well, if you're stateside now, if you're paying private anyway in Ireland, then you can probably just get a plan here in the United States if you're here and get in and out pretty quickly.
	I mean, I think we had a number, was it Bernie Sanders versus the UK?
	Those heart stints he got.
	He got them in three hours here.
	It would have been like 50-something days if he was there in the UK.
	I don't know exactly Ireland on an individual.
	America's pretty quick, yeah.
	America's pretty quick for stuff like walk-in clinics and stuff like that.
	They're very flexible.
	But yeah, back to my surgery.
	So, yeah, back to my balls.
	I was trying to veer away from the balls.
	You got one more minute, then we'll continue the ball talk on WebExtended,
	because then I want you to go full tilt.
	Wrap up the balls.
	Oh yeah.
	So basically the surgery is to make about a three, four inch incision and to take out your whole sack.
	One side, one side, then they drain it.
	I had an infection, so the tissue was...
	Pretty thick down there, and they have to cut, they have to cut, like, the tissue, and then they wrap the, they put it back in, but the tissue gets wrapped around the ball and then tucked in, so you'll always have, like, a meatier ball than the other one.
	That's gotta be rough being a streamer.
	That's the speed, that's the speed run resolved.
	And then afterwards, I don't, I'm gonna keep talking here, I need to vent.
	Okay, go ahead and vent, go ahead and vent, but just, you know, sit in a bean bag if you need to.
	Just let me go, just let me fly out here.
	I got extreme constipation, which is the worst pain I've ever had in my life.
	While having a surgery near the groin area, it was horrible.
	And then, I didn't say this in my video, so this is a little special.
	I actually went to poop once, farted, and only blood came out.
	Oh no!
	And it turned out I had a hemorrhoid that burst on the inside.
	So it's like a poop only with blood.
	That was all within the first week of recovering.
	Gosh!
	So it was pretty brutal.
	Gosh!
	Or not, it was fine.
	That doesn't sound fine.
	There are a lot of things that I would describe as fine.
	A bloody stool after having a ball wrapped in mummy cloth is not chief amongst them.
	Doesn't sound fine.
	Well, I'm glad you're doing okay.
	It must be hard to sit, though.
	Like, do you have to switch chairs?
	Right now it's fine.
	Right now it's totally fine.
	But yeah, for a good A good four weeks sitting was just even standing the blood would flow down to the area and then you'd get all the sensations back and you could feel inside of your testicle and like little stabby needles.
	You know what's that thing that they put needles on people?
	You know it's like an acupuncture.
	Yeah, it's like acupuncture in your nut.
	That's how I would describe it.
	Well, you can't get them on your balls in the States.
	It's against the toweling laws.
	And I found that one out.
	Apparently it's not part of the spa package.
	Okay, so it is Naugla.
	I won't try and get it wrong, but it's spelled D-A-T-H-I-D-A.
	Naugla is the YouTube channel.
	D-A-I-T-H-I.
	I did.
	D-A-I-T-H-I.
	What did I say?
	I think you missed the I.
	I don't know.
	I'm a little distracted talking about bloody balls.
	We're going to go to WebExtended again.
	Remember, everyone, next week starts Monday morning.
	We'll be doing some video game streaming as well in the Mug Club quarantine month.
	WebExtended, coming right up.
	Stay with us.
	Hey, from Mug Club, happy St. Patrick's Day.
	I have a statement coming in, but I just really want this cigar.
	Like I want to go smoke a jill back at my office.
	Love hip hop, peep hop, pop pop pop.
	Dance to your drum, hip hop, peep hop.
	Boom boom boom, boom boom boom.
	Just a little bit.
	Woo!
	Come on!
	We gotta go, right?
	Let's go.
	Come on.
	Let's do this.
	One leg.
	One leg.
	Hey!
	The Young Turks!
	So what happened?
	I thought we were talking about facts.
	One other fact that I wanted to share with you is about, you know...
	Reader's Digest in the 1970s made a point to really sensationalize the notion of the... So informed you won't need to fast track!
	That's really bad for business.
	Real talk.
	Middle-aged Turks.
	Find the aging Turks live weekdays from 6 to 8 p.m.
	Watch them before they die!
	Watch them before they die!
	Oh Oh
	That's called the gentleman died smoking his pipe underwater.
	I like that.
	It's classic.
	He effectively waterboarded himself through his meerschaum.
	And this isn't a meerschaum pipe, so people I know will be fact-checked on that.
	Just stop.
	We do have an extended interview, by the way, with the Dahi DiNagla.
	I'm not going to get it right.
	DiNagla.
	There's no chance.
	Mr. Nagla.
	And I'm going to be honest.
	I understood maybe 20% of what he said.
	Yeah, that's true.
	Just being generous.
	And in the WebEx interview, he talks about which video games we'll be streaming in the Mug Club.
	So again, the promo code is QUARANTINE.
	If you join up at lidethcreditor.com slash Mug Club, you'll get $30 off.
	And the hashtag is Mug Club Quarantine.
	All month!
	Go to lidethcreditor.com slash schedule.

	Chat with people on Mug Club and then, of course, the full evening show and clips and meet segments.
	And listen, we really appreciate how much you guys have supported us.
	And this is not something that occurred without deliberation.
	Right.
	We were sitting here going like, man, well, okay, what are the risks if someone here gets the corona?
	Yeah.
	Or swine flu.
	That could come back.
	We never know.
	We have a half-Asian there all the time.
	There's a 50-50 shot that we end up with some upper respiratory disease or virus.
	I'm not a doctor.
	I don't fully understand the difference.
	I know that one is bacteria and one is viral.
	That's why you just blink it.
	You'd be safe.
	You just try and play it safe.
	And let us know what it is that you're most looking forward to.
	By the way, we'll be live-streaming one of these days.
	Jean-Guy Tremblay will be live-streaming video games, I think playing Call of Duty with Denagla, so we'll see how that works out.
	And what are you most looking forward to here this month?
	Yeah, I think I'm really excited about just the glut of content.
	I think that it's more content than ever, I think.
	And also, for Mug Club members, they'll have more access to you.
	They'll be able to ask as many questions as they want.
	I did say axe.
	Did you say axe?
	That's my word.
	That's okay.
	What are you trying out for the NBA?
	Just appropriating.
	Do you have a mixtape dropping soon?
	I do.
	Yeah, check it out.
	Yeah, there you go.
	JackPiff.com.
	Well, he came with his hat.
	Yeah, so I think... Hey, do you ever think that maybe coronavirus will take out everyone who shops at Lids?
	I think about it all the time.
	Not that that would be good, but, you know, it'd just be like, it'd be a bycatch.
	I gotta go to the doctor.
	Yeah, yeah, so I think the morning show's gonna be so much fun.
	I think, like, less structured will be, you know, fact-checking live, fact-checking CNN.
	I'm excited about it.
	People seeing a lot of other shows that we do all the time.
	Yeah.
	That they don't see, because they're not... I think a lot of people don't realize that there's like 80% more content every week at Blaze and Mug Club, and Stu has a show that plays there.
	There are all kinds of people there.
	You don't have to like every show.
	I don't like every show, but that's the beauty of pairing up and having a network.
	It's a little bit more relaxed.
	We have a lot of fun over there, and it's cool to be able to give that to people that aren't in the Mug Club, and they can kind of see what it's like.
	And a big thing too, I will say, it just aggravates me so much when I look at As a kid, if I was homesick, I remember for a while I'd watch the funniest thing I could find on TV.
	And Morton Short had it, Morton Short.
	I'm doing for you, Morton Short!
	Morton hosted a show, and you know what?
	A daytime show is hot!
	I would watch Martin Short.
	I would try and watch, at one point there was a show with Danny Bonaduce who was opposing The View.
	You don't have a tough act to follow, but anything that was funnier.
	And then if I was sick at night, I would always want to watch Letterman when I was young.
	And then Conan.
	And the fact that these late night hosts are just taking this time off and broadcasting from their webcams.
	This is their moment to shine.
	And you know what?
	If anyone had a moment for an excuse to just do a webcam, it would be the people who started online.
	This was started in my den.
	Hopper was effectively a producer when I was broadcasting from my den.
	But instead, I do understand this is where people talk about connection, and they think that somehow they're serving you with connection.
	You know, Jimmy Kimmel, because he's talking into his webcam, like, oh, he's just like us.
	No, they're not.
	And you see how terrible, honestly, the content, the writing is.
	I want this also to lift the veil a little bit for you.
	People can do Photoshop from home.
	People can shoot sketches from home.
	Now, we don't have 140-something employees like they do.
	I think right now we have eight in the office.
	Usually it's 12, then we have three remote.
	It's down to eight, just to protect some people who can work from home.
	There's no excuse for people to not be, especially because it's considered an essential service.
	Media!
	You need to know that you're being swindled, and we're going to do everything we can to try and correct that.
	It's going to be exciting.
	I'm excited to see the live stream chats.
	It's going to be cool to be able to interact with you guys while we're doing the show.
	And programming-wise, we've got Ash Wednesday, which is more conversational.
	We've got Mass Monday.
	Well, a lot of people don't know, you know, we actually talk about issues that relate to theology or kind of culture at large.
	In the morning show, we'll be fact-checking live.
	We'll have guests on here.
	And of course, some of the stuff that we used to do on the radio show.
	It's a little more free flow.
	We'll try a whole lot of new things.
	And you're probably not going to like all of it.
	I know I won't.
	And one thing I want to say, this is not something...
	You know, it's not like the Taylor Swift when she wins her, you know, 29th award.
	Like, huh?
	I didn't know.
	Yeah, grabbing her face like she's the abominable snowman after Yukon Cornelius removed his teeth.
	That's what I see.
	You know, it's just disingenuous.
	Really grateful and I will say one thing when I released that the kind of cell phone video talking about this Mug Club quarantine Month a lot of people commented and it's not lost on me Hey, don't overdo it because we know you had a scare with your health before when you were overworking and that is true that has happened before but we've taken all of that into account here and I think we're going to be able to do it pretty pretty well I've told everyone here that I am going to be as regiment doing two shows a day is not easy, right?
	Radio is typically three hours of prep for every hour of radio.
	I would say with this show, probably six hours of prep, at least, for every single hour, and then not to mention how many dozens of hours in pre-production.
	So, I've told everyone, like, I've got to treat this like an athlete.
	I've got to eat right, sleep right, be disciplined, because I'll have to be up, like, at 4.30 in the morning, making sure that we get this, making sure that we get everything fact-checked, making sure that we get all of our sources together before we do a morning show, which is fine for me, because ironically, for a late-night host, I'm a morning person.
	Right, yeah.
	A morning person.
	I don't like the evenings.
	I find them sad.
	So I'm very, and it will be as much of a blessing, I think, for everyone here to be able to, because some of us are feeling isolated.
	Like our policy is we are only allowed in the office and home and quarantine and limiting social contact.
	Not that we think any of us are going to necessarily die from the coronavirus, but we all have parents, we all have grandparents, and we want to be responsible, especially at this point, err on the side of caution.
	So we are a little bit cooped up in being able to have this direct contact and communication with you guys, especially people who seem to actually care.
	Which is remarkable to me.
	Sometimes people will bring something up and I'll see it or someone will send it to me from the comments section.
	It could be about something that has to do with Hopper.
	It could be something that I said in a show that someone's listening to an archive from five years ago.
	And that's not the case with every single host.
	I don't think that Jimmy Kimmel, that Stephen Colbert, that Samantha Bee will ever know what that is like.
	And that's because they haven't been on this journey with you.
	It's kind of like the difference between having, you know, having a dog since they're a puppy or having, you get to see them grow up.
	We came up in this together.
	To give you context, I've been doing YouTube videos since 2006, started doing political stuff in 2009.
	It was a Fox News, PJTV.
	When we started doing this show, so this show, full-length show, was syndicated on radio, the first couple shows had like 4,000 plays.
	To the point where I remember saying, well, you know what?
	Maybe we'll just create Mug Club at this point.
	Maybe we'll just create it, and we'll just put it behind the paywall, because I don't think that a long-form show is ever going to work on YouTube.
	Right.
	Nobody wants to see this.
	And then I got the 12,000.
	Well, maybe we have some.
	And then 20-something thousand.
	And then millions of people each month.
	It is something that legitimately started from the ground up.
	A lot of criticisms of this show valid, OK?
	Most of them.
	I will be chief amongst the criticizers.
	But the critics.
	Is criticizer a word?
	I think it's also a word, but it's a redundant word.
	There's no need for critics.
	But not a valid criticism is that it's astroturf.
	And that's not because of us, that's because of you.
	You have decided and dictated how this content moves forward, and we want this month to be an opportunity for us all to do that, to see what it is that you like, to connect with you guys.
	Maybe you want us to do more long-form interviews.
	Maybe you like us doing the livestream video games.
	We don't know how it's going to end up or where we will be at the end of this month, but we are so grateful that we get to do it with you, that hopefully we serve you, hopefully this is helpful to you if you're cooped up at home, and that at the end of this month, we'll still be there with you, even though everyone else phoned it in.
	So thank you so much.
	Monday morning, 10 a.m.
	Eastern, The Great Experiment begins.
	Hashtag Mug Club Quarantine.
	And please, thumbs up and leave something in the comment section right now.
	Let people know about it, because we only survive, I don't know, like PBS.
	Viewers like you!
	And then $75 billion, or $75 million in federal funding.
	We don't get that.
	So it really is just viewers like you.
	Next week.
