Biden Campaign Funds Violent Riots! | Good Morning #MugClub
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
🎵 🎵
Oh, that was some on-beat sipping.
That was, that was, that was on-beat sipping.
It's like my mug sip cypher.
I thought it was Morse code sipping.
And he's orange!
That's a good cypher.
Good for you.
We have a lot to be talking about We're going to get into, when people have talked about the shadowy figure, who is funding some of these riots going on in the country.
See, it's not a George Soros plot.
It's actually the presidential candidate for the United States, and he's broad.
What?
Are you serious?
And then, for the first time ever, I have changed my mind.
Well, I have changed my mind plenty of times.
But we have a segment coming up on Teslas.
And why, I've changed my mind.
I cannot wait to see this.
We'll also be talking about the recent polls, but that'll be exclusively for Mug Club.
So please do consider joining up at loudmouthcrowder.com slash Mug Club.
If not, you can subscribe on Android, Apple, and of course there's Crowder Bits on YouTube.
We will be taking your live chat behind the paywall.
Hey, my half-Asian lawyer, Bill Richman, is here.
How are you, sir?
Oh, glad to be here.
This is caffeine-free.
Caffeine-free, I know.
What day?
Yeah, just keeping it up.
Yeah, I'm normally not a caffeine guy.
What day?
Yes, you are.
How many days in are you?
He's not in the wagon, you dipshit!
He's trying to make his life healthier, and you're trying to ramrod the guy!
I'm trying to encourage him!
I'm trying to railroad him!
I'm saying you're doing a great job, what dare you?
You're trying to, let's go to clip A, stroke violence!
The incumbent president is incapable of telling us the truth, incapable of facing the facts, and incapable of healing.
He doesn't want to shed light, he wants to generate heat.
And he's stroking violence in our cities.
Stroking that violence.
He's stroking violently in the corner!
Yikes.
That's a lot.
He wants to generate heat?
That's what happens with stroking!
The friction generates heat!
I read Lord of the Flies.
If you don't get your hands on Piggy's glasses, the poor son of a bitch, you're gonna have to use some friction and stroke yourself a fire.
Hey, Gerald Morgan, also known as a father now, is here.
My poor wife.
I hope you're sleeping, honey.
This is how you would get the message to her.
Well, she's not.
She at least knows that I care, and if she is, she'll know that we're here and she's sleeping.
That was like a performative prayer, where someone's like, Dear Lord, We hope that Gerald is funnier today.
Uh, he's not funnier.
Well, at least we hope.
At least we hope, dear Lord.
Look, you can't demand things of the Lord.
Don't test him.
He could provide, but again, heavy lifts.
Make Gerald funnier?
Mud on his eyes?
I can do wonders with scales!
Not with humor!
Here's my question of the day.
How dishonest do you think it is for the Biden campaign and Harris?
Biden and Broad.
Biden and Broad.
How dishonest do you think it is for Biden and Broad to blame the riots and violence right now on Donald Trump?
That's been their new strategy.
And how convincing do you think it is?
Because we went from total disavowal, not disavowing, sorry, denying.
There's no violence.
Well, it's that thing burning out behind you there.
I don't know what you're talking about.
Oh, that's Trump.
Trump did that, yeah.
Trump did that, yeah.
He came in and gave a speech.
Donald Trump didn't speak there.
He Skyped!
He skyped somebody in the municipality.
He stroked the violence in here with the skype.
And then 18 people were killed, you know, and God knows how many rapes.
So, back to you.
This is rhetoric.
Yes, it was his rhetoric.
It was absolutely fiery.
He generates heat, he starts fire.
Well, it's his general presence, right?
It was that they dreamed about him, and then they turned into a nightmare, and then it caused them to burn buildings down.
You know, that's just, I followed it.
It made sense.
Yeah, they think, it's like, listen, I just came from my boiler room.
And if I said in the National Guard, in your dreams, okay, they appear in real life.
True.
It happens.
One, two, Trump is coming for you.
Three, four, better luck here.
Harris is a whore.
I wouldn't say that.
I got a letter saying that, and I said, what is this disgusting letter?
It's disgusting.
Can you believe that, calling her a whore?
But that's what some people say.
That's what some people think.
Who am I to tell them what to think?
You wrote it to yourself, Mr. President.
It's true.
That does say Donald Trump.
I guess I am stroking violence.
Here we go, look, coronavirus, now third leading cause of death in the United States.
I do notice they didn't update the death totals there after CDC updated theirs.
Right, well, yeah, they don't really care so much.
They just care about the totals.
They don't care about how many lives are terminated due to verifiably bad proactive nursing home policy.
It's like, listen, there's a lot of things that we There are a lot of things that we don't know about the coronavirus.
I give you that.
That's why we haven't been definitive in saying lockdowns don't work and not having a lockdown is a metric for the state being more successful.
I haven't really made affirmative arguments on either side.
I've just encouraged people to look at the data.
But one thing we do know is that sending patients with the COVID through nursing homes is pretty bad.
That's very, very bad.
You can probably put that one under unilaterally agreed upon.
Don't send young, sick patients into nursing homes who have no business being there anyway!
Do you think that's a factor as to why we haven't seen Andrew Cuomo very much recently?
Oh, no, no, no, no.
He wrote a book.
How I Handled the Crisis.
He's like, nip the barbells.
But all the time that we've been recently watching CNN and just kind of digesting media so that we can translate it for uh... the fans in the audience i'm not seeing a lot of injuries.
Or de Blasio.
He fired his lead medical person who said he was doing a terrible job and he was like terrible job, terrible job, do it on the street, bye, out of here.
He's on a spirit quest.
It's absurd.
What is the Ebenezer Scrooge?
I hope you enjoy making your criticisms on the unemployment line.
That's pretty much it.
I don't know prisons.
I don't know poor houses.
Yes, but they're littered with your discarded nipple rings, sir.
By the way, I thought it was awesome.
There's so many nipple rings, there's no room for it.
Alright, go ahead.
As soon as you were saying that, like, you know, nursing homes, CNN was saying, healthy people have died, and I'm like, yeah, like, ten, okay?
I get it, yeah.
Like, there's statistically, it's not ten, it's a statistically tiny number.
Here's how you get people who say you deny science, by the way, with the coronavirus, here's what you do.
It's a very, very easy, I usually don't, you know, a magician never reveals his tricks.
You say, all right, well, listen, what percentage of the people who've died have been young and healthy without any other pre-existing conditions?
And usually they eventually go out and they go, oh, well, it has happened.
Look, there's 190,000 deaths, and there are people who are young and healthy.
And some people have been children.
You say, oh, OK.
How many?
That's it.
They never have an answer?
No.
You win.
Take a knee.
Three or four anecdotal cases out.
Tebow knee, not a Kaepernick knee.
Back when taking a knee actually meant, you know, just, you know, I don't know, do an end zone dance.
Just, how many?
I'll come back, I'll check in later, and just walk out.
They have nothing they can do!
Let me know if you got any numbers, okay?
Again, my question of the day is, go ahead.
I keep trying to get this set up, you guys won't let me go!
I didn't do anything.
Yeah, you did.
No.
You ruined my life.
Well, that's true.
Sorry, it's really your life.
I was speaking for you.
All I wanted to say, Gerald, is I appreciate you.
Nothing makes me look funnier than being on the show with you.
I do what I can.
This is sweet.
Little good cop, bad cop, little cop-and-a-half action going on.
I prefer short rounds.
So yesterday, we showed you that clip, but vice president, now presidential candidate, I don't know how to be respectful, okay?
Demented old circus monkey Biden!
Made his comments on rioting across America.
And I want to actually include it with here's something that is important.
They've tried to blame, of course, Donald Trump, both Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.
This is their new strategy after denying that violence had been occurring.
Actually, it's worse than that.
They encouraged it before.
Let's go to the clip of Biden as well as Harris.
This president long ago forfeited any moral leadership in this country.
He can't stop the violence because for years he's fomented it.
You know, he may believe mouthing the words law and order makes him strong, but his failure to call on his own supporters to stop acting as an armed militia in this country shows how weak he is.
Does anyone believe there'll be less violence in America?
If Donald Trump is re-elected?
100%.
And Joe speaks the words and actually knows how to say the words, Black Lives Matter.
Contrary to what the President of the United States, the current President of the United States does.
Which is just so hate and division full time.
And has never spoken those words and will never speak the words, Black Lives Matter.
Uh, he did yesterday with Laura Ingraham saying, the term Black Lives Matter is so discriminatory.
Joe Biden just broke the first rule of lawyering, which is probably why he never actually served in the private sector beyond nine months.
And they were like, get rid of that clerk with the hair plugs.
He asked a question he didn't know the answer to.
By the way, the question, Trumps?
that you will uh do you honestly believe that uh you'll be uh safer if uh donald donald
trump is re-elected yes absolutely do you think uh you really think i have dementia
one hundred percent this is a bad line of questioning from me by the way the the question
trumps he called out trumps armed militia yeah i know i mean come on
Do me a favor Joe Biden, show me the effing body count from them and let's compare that.
We have over 700 million dollars in property damage, really probably approaching a billion.
We have a thousand officers seriously injured and ironically we actually have one more person killed, 19, officially killed by protesters than all unarmed black men last year.
Wow.
19.
It was 18 last year.
Depending on the sources you use, I've read 18 or 19.
Just really in three months.
And there have been over 30 people killed at the protests.
I'm talking about directly killed by protesters.
19!
So you guys are worse than the systemic racism as far as taking people's lives.
I know it doesn't matter to you if there's not quite the same level of melanin in the skin, but you're killing more people!
Look, my thing is, guys, I just, you know how I feel about punching down.
And to punch down at Biden, I mean, the guy's got, he's got nothing up there.
I mean, he doesn't even realize that he's the one who's fomenting the violence by saying, yeah, it's fine.
I mean, you want to burn a few buildings, kill a few people, it's totally fine.
The guy doesn't know where he is.
Well, you compare all of that to, really, all you have in the moment is Kyle Rittenhouse, who killed violent felons and known child sex offenders who were hitting him in the head with a skateboard and also had a gun and were aiming at his head.
So that's really the comparison right now.
And if you go to Young Turks or CNN, they talk about Kyle Rittenhouse gunning down his victims.
But it's true to the tape!
Gunning down his victims.
Is there tape out there?
But that's the Young Turks.
Just show the tape.
I don't know.
No.
We're having problems.
Just show the tape.
I don't want to.
I don't want to show the tape.
Show the tape.
Went out and gunned down victims.
Just show the tape.
If we didn't have tape, it would be irrelevant.
But we do have tape.
Which is kind of why we film in the first place.
We generally film because we would like to have tape.
And we have it.
Is it useful?
Listen, it couldn't be more clear.
Here's a good sign that someone is lying to you.
If someone is telling you about a story in the news where there is videographic evidence and they don't show it, they're lying to you.
We've had this happen with Mashable and The Verge where they talked about me going It's a hyperlink!
That's all you have to do!
at Juice Land, Juice World?
I said, why don't you just show the video?
They had it at Mashable and Verge where they said that we were selling T-shirts
that we had never sold in our lives.
They talked about the videos where we made false claims about Black Lives Matter at Mashable.
Listen, why don't you show the video?
And the lady said, well, I don't have enough time to go through the whole video.
Well, you referenced the video.
Just link it.
You Google it.
You type it in.
It's a hyperlink.
It's a link.
It's not hard.
That's all you have to do.
Take a look.
And I wasn't, and you're right, we shouldn't punch down at old, demented patients.
But I am a resident of Michigan, and we're allowed to go in and beat the shit out of old people.
So look.
Our governor has condoned it.
Hey, there's only a few states.
Michigan, you can physically assault them, and in New York, you can infect them.
But in the rest of the civilized United States, we need to treat our elderly, infirm, with care and compassion and put them down.
Did you say elderly and firm?
Did you say elderly and firm like you were coming on to an old person?
Wow.
Wow.
It's a fetish.
Elderly and firm.
it what firm he said someone say don't it's all experience all the push-ups he's been doing
Speaking of elderly, yeah, and shooting straight from the shoulder.
He says, straight from the shoulder!
Maybe that's what's going on.
He's punch drunk.
Let's go back to Kamala Harris here, because now they're saying Donald Trump has not denounced the violence.
He has, repeatedly.
He's actually tried to take proactive measures against the violence.
You guys have funded the violence, which we will get to in a second.
I mean many, many, many, many, many millions of dollars funding directly to these violent
rioters, violent felons thugs in the streets.
But first, let's go back to you, Kamala Harris, Biden and Brott.
By the way, first half POS candidate.
That's true.
Ah, that's our POC.
Yeah, that half POS candidate talking about not only the riots, the protests at this point
when they were still referring to them as protests would continue, but they mentioned
like fomenting, which really means encouraging, right?
Egging on violence.
Here she is actually telling them to continue on Stephen Colbert a mere couple months ago.
They're not going to stop.
They're not going to stop.
This is a movement, I'm telling you.
They're not going to stop.
And everyone beware, because they're not going to stop.
They're not going to stop for Election Day in November, and they're not going to stop after Election Day.
Everyone should take note of that on both levels.
They're not going to let up, and they should not.
And we should not.
No, I know so many people are saying, hey, is this before there were any riots or damage?
No, this is still several.
It wasn't 700 million or a billion in property damage and like 18 deaths.
It was a handful of deaths and a handful of billions.
And a few hundred officers who had been harmed at that point.
But what broad were we?
Yeah.
Well, they shouldn't stop.
Yeah, they shouldn't stop.
Beware!
This is the new normal.
Time out.
You can't time out.
It's live.
Yeah, exactly.
I thought that if they were elected that this would stop.
She said after the election... Wait, pause, pause, pause!
Trump ramps up disinformation campaign against Biden.
We have to go to this.
Look, it's the guy with Dwight Root.
...to reveal here at some point in the future.
I'm going to show you all the evidence of it.
That never comes.
And yet, you know, he propagates this kind of stuff.
I mean, it's a pattern.
Is it not with the president?
It's a long pattern.
This president is a conspiracy theorist.
He essentially entered a Republican life promoting this racist conspiracy theory about Barack Obama's birthplace.
He's promoted conspiracy theories about windmills supposedly causing cancer.
By the way, the birther thing was stupid, but it wasn't racism.
It was because of the claims that Barack Obama had made about his birthplace.
He had a conspiracy theory about Ted Cruz's father being involved in an assassination.
So he just does this, and he's doing it again.
Yeah, I mean, as you remind people, there are some they might have forgotten.
Thanks, CNN.
Some of these are against Republicans, too.
He's made a bunch of conclusions.
By the way, what they're talking about is Donald Trump made the quote, he made the statement that there are people in the shadows, I'll tell you some other day, there are people in the shadows pulling the strings.
And this is one thing that Donald Trump shoots from the hip.
Joe Biden.
And then sometimes doesn't think it through.
Let's get through where some of the funding follow the money trail with these riots.
Because yes, there have been a lot of people out of state who've come into riot.
And by the way, that doesn't really matter to leftists unless you're carrying a firearm out of state, then all of a sudden borders matter.
If you're showing up to burn down a Walgreens or a used car lot, you know, listen, we all have our flaws.
As long as you fill out your timesheet.
Good morning, Sam.
So Kamala Harris tweeted out a link, by the way, to the Minnesota Freedom Fund asking people to donate.
This is important.
We're talking about people in the shadows.
The purse strings 13 of Joe Biden's staff also donated to the Minnesota Freedom Fund.
Let's go through here who the Minnesota Freedom Fund, it's hard to say.
That's a hard word to say.
Minnesota Freedom Fund.
Say it.
Minnesota Freedom Fund.
Minnesota Freedom Fund.
I wish I were Ben Shapiro sometimes.
Minnesota Freedom Fund.
That helps.
Oh, it does actually help.
It does help.
That's weird.
Now every time you do a tongue twister, I'll just be Ben Shapiro.
So let's look at who the Minnesota Freedom Fund has set free.
Again, no conspiracy theory needed.
We can follow the money trail.
Can we get a shout out for the $100,000 to Darnica Floyd?
Stabbed a friend to death.
Minnesota Freedom Fund, donated to, supported by the former vice president, presidential candidate Joe Biden and broad Kamala Harris.
First POS candidate.
Half POS candidate.
They paid Minnesota Freedom Fund $350,000 to free Christopher Boswell, twice convicted rapist, who currently is charged with assault, kidnapping, and sexual assault in two separate cases.
They paid $75,000, let's get a ha ha, for Jaleel Stallings.
Not to be confused with Jaleel White.
A treasure.
National treasure.
Sullying the names of good Jaleels everywhere.
Did I do that?
No, you didn't do this.
That's Jaleel Stallings.
By the way, you don't need to try and be Stefan.
Don't try so hard, Mr. Urkel.
Just be you.
Jaleel Stallings shot at members of a SWAT team during the riots in May.
It's a BB gun.
And here's another one.
Even though the Minnesota Freedom Fund was not directly involved, the catch-and-release approach is exactly what led to the Portland shooter being free.
He'd already been arrested for bringing in a loaded gun to earlier protests, and then he was released.
without being tried at all. So when we say fomenting violence because Donald Trump,
and this is what they try and corner him and say, well, why won't you call it the Kenosha shooter?
Because it's under investigation. And by the way, it's also very different. Let's just say
you really, really hate conservatives. You really hate Republicans and you really hate Kyle Rittenhouse.
Let's say that Kyle Rittenhouse is a little prick, right?
Never did a good thing in his life.
Here's the thing.
It is very, very different when you have people who are armed with Molotov cocktails, with guns, who are burning down businesses or assaulting unarmed people, and at the very least, Kyle Rittenhouse shooting people who were armed.
When people say, why did you need a gun?
Well, who did he shoot?
A guy with a gun!
That's why he needed a gun.
So that does change the scenario when two people have guns, regardless of where you
line up ideologically.
That is not the same as the kind of violence that has been taking place against businesses,
innocent bystanders, and by the way, yes, other civilians who probably would have supported
this movement, only their house is being lit ablaze and the paramedics and the fire department
can't get through because the cops have to pave a way.
So let's be really clear.
They try and catch Donald Trump on Rittenhouse and say, why haven't you condemned them?
Well, you have actively donated and called for other people to donate to multiple times
convicted rapists.
And this is really something my, my half Asian lawyers always say, well, charge, charge allegedly.
I don't even have to say that shit.
Do I convicted twice?
Half Asian bill.
Am I wrong?
Look, when there are multiple people with the kind of background where you can talk
about, look at their convicted crimes.
When you inform officers or people who are being involved, why isn't there a denouncing that comes out for the people who are causing this kind of violence?
And the fact that Biden and his staff are out there, yeah, I understand.
Look, there's certain places, counties, cities, states, where the bail program is terrible.
But there's also a reason why we have a program that says you've got to lock up violent people so they don't go back out and shoot people in Portland.
Right.
I will say, I don't support this idea of the three-strike laws that relates to nonviolent drug offenders, but I do for rapists.
I think it should be like one strike.
I think it should be one strike and you are on very thin ice, Jaleel.
You get a stern talking to.
You are coming dangerously close to the line.
One rape.
Shame on me.
And CNN has all this information.
Two rapes, we cut your balls off.
Oh boy.
I think that's fair.
I would absolutely support capital punishment.
That's a crime, to me, deserving of death for multiple time rapists.
You really should give them life.
These people should not be free because the recidivism rate is very high.
Depending on what the rape is, which is sexual assault and domestic relationship.
But violent rape, you do that twice, I think you forfeit your right to live.
Especially if it's a kid.
You would have a stronger argument for that, yeah.
Sexual assault against a child, to me, is the kind of evil that knows no bounds.
Not only is it the kind of evil, rape itself is evil.
I know all us Republicans are supposed to support rape, right?
Rape culture.
Supposedly.
But then we're also the ones who go out and apparently are vigilantes against rapists, so I don't know what.
How does that work?
Not only do I think that rape is an evil crime.
Rape itself is an evil crime.
But then you combine it with this perversion, this compulsive perversion of sexual attraction
to children where the rehabilitation rate is almost non-existent in comparison to something
like arson or in comparison to something like theft.
Sometimes people can't really get out of their situation.
They steal, it doesn't make it right.
But once their situation changes and they see the fruits of their labor by living an
honest life, they no longer steal.
It doesn't really happen where all of a sudden you take someone who's attracted to the Olsen
to insert a full house here and be like, what about Christie Brinkley?
You're like, no, no, no.
It doesn't work for them.
Those people should not be allowed to be a part of civil society.
Exactly, and any time that you can unite all of the murderers that are currently in prison, you're like, yeah, that's bad.
Yeah, let's take that guy out.
I know I killed 27 people and ate half of them, but that dude's messed up.
Come together.
Eat half right now.
He ate half.
Kill a pedophile.
Going back to the CNN thing, right?
They bend over backwards to show, you know, the Kyle Rittenhouse.
Like, you've seen the pictures of him holding a weapon with great trigger discipline, right?
We just said that.
He's not doing anything wrong, and they're like, this is bad.
And then they don't show an Antifa protester or somebody else shooting another person there because they're Trump.
Like, they don't show their mugshot.
They don't show anything about them, but they're like, this Kyle guy, he's a dangerous fellow.
He has a gun pointed at the ground without his trigger on the There's militia out there and they're killing people.
They're not!
Again, just compare the numbers you're talking about.
A billion dollars right now.
The last number was 700 million.
I know it's over a billion dollars.
It's gotta be over a billion.
They're under-reporting it.
The numbers lag.
Just like Detroit under-reports murders.
Because there's no one left to kill.
Oh, but some hipsters opened up some coffee shops.
You're gonna be raped!
I take no joy in it, I'm just stating the facts.
There's no question that when you look at the coverage that's by CNN, they're not interested in covering the violence.
No, not at all.
The only time they reference it, every day if you go and look, the only time they're referencing it is so that they can go, this was Trump, Trump lit this building on fire, metaphorically.
And Biden's no better.
Biden calls out these Trump-armed militias, and yet when he was asked to... Remember the whole polling that came out, and you've got to get these riots under control, and he said, I condemn violence of every kind?
He bent over backwards not to mention rioters, and Antifa, and Black Lives Matter, and people that are actually rioting and looting!
You didn't mention them, but you're like, of all kinds.
It's not a real thing.
Well, yeah, of course I know.
It's not a real thing.
Let me ask that guy Hey, why'd you kill that guy?
100% beyond, with no shadow of a doubt, Antifa.
I am 100% Antifa.
Eh, he hasn't seemed like he's settled on his story yet.
I'll get back to you.
Alright, back to you, Wolf.
No, no, no, no!
I'm 100% Antifa!
He doesn't know what he's saying.
Somebody get this guy.
He has no idea what he's talking about.
Oh, and Black Lives Matter saying something about, I don't know, Ovaltine?
The guy's out of his mind.
I think it's because of jobs.
He needs a job.
He's a model citizen.
Just like climate change is the reason for ISIS.
This is the logic that you see from the left today.
No, that was an actual thing!
I know, I know, but it's been hot there forever!
And I love Donald Trump's interview.
If you haven't watched it with Laura Ingraham yesterday, I don't know if you guys watched the full interview where he's talking about, he goes, listen, the Green New Deal, okay, would take a hundred trillion dollars.
And if you read the Green New Deal, it's, it's from the mind of a child.
That's what it is.
And that is completely descriptive.
That is 100% descriptive.
And I've never heard a president before Donald Trump in an interview or a national addressing, frankly, stupid people.
He is the best trash-talking president we've ever had.
He's a heel.
He's a heel.
He knows what he's doing.
In the NBA, he's that guy that's like jawing at you the entire game and in the fourth quarter you just lose your mind, which is happening to Biden and Kamala Harris right now.
Some people think that it belittles the office.
It's below the office.
I think it would improve every great speech.
It'd be like, there's nothing to fear but fear itself and stupid people.
All of a sudden he's soaring on wings of an eagle on that wheelchair with that rhetoric.
At times you need guys like him, and he's exactly like Churchill in that regard.
He pissed everybody off for not saying the right stuff.
He just poked at every single thing.
And then Churchill was immediately ejected because he didn't support a nationalized healthcare plan.
So this is what happens.
Keep us safe, protect us, and then give us free stuff, give us free stuff, but we had to spend a lot of money on making sure that you're not all speaking German wearing funny patches.
We want free shit now.
Okay, I'll see my way out.
Bye.
I guess I'll go.
All right.
We're going to be right back.
Actually, we have a sponsor to go to, I believe.
I'm not entirely sure how the sponsor works, but I want to hear from you.
Do you really find it convincing at all, the Biden, the Harris, blaming the violence on Trump?
And do you think you'll be safer in Trump's America than Biden's America?
He asked that question, I answered yes.
Absolutely.
With no hesitation, absolutely.
I think we'll be less safe with Biden as president.
And we'll be back after this sponsor.
I changed my mind.
What is it?
It's Paco the Friendly Homophobe.
I don't know how that works.
Oh, for a message from Paco the Friendly Homophobe.
That's me.
OK, thank you, ma'am.
You can pass on through.
All right, next.
Come on up.
Hands out.
Legs open.
OK, come through.
Please hold.
Alright sir, do you mind if I pat down your right leg and inner thigh?
You do what you have to do.
It's your job, I understand.
Yes, thank you very much.
So I'm going to pat here... But I know that you don't have to do.
What do you mean, sir?
I saw the other guy.
He told you I was okay to clear and go through.
But you are the one who told me you still have to pat my leg.
I don't follow.
You are patting my leg because you want to.
Not because it is your job.
And you want to pat my leg.
Unlike the blonde before me, nice lady who you let pass through without any pat down.
Because you are not straight.
What will he f- What wacky scenario will he find himself in next?
Friendly guy though.
Very friendly guy.
Very likeable.
He knows it's wrong to hate.
Such a calm demeanor.
There's a difference between hate and, for some people, intense discomfort.
Sure.
That's true.
I was sexually harassed by a wardrobe guy.
Were you?
I've talked about this.
And it didn't bother me, but I can understand that if I were a woman and if it were a much bigger, stronger man, but he would just be like, oh, you're cute.
I'm going to clean up your cute little buns.
Like, oh yeah, those jeans, you know, you should think about wearing lower rise jeans.
He would talk about my, like I was a piece of, what's his name, Scudo?
Shudo.
A piece of cured meat.
Can we see it in there?
His name is Shudo.
His name sounds like shaved meat.
A delicious ham.
Or a nice cheese.
And I thought I didn't hate the man, but I was uncomfortable with him grabbing my buttocks.
Alright, it is time now.
We're going to be talking about the polls after when we go, of course, exclusive to MugClub.
But right now, many of you have asked me, have you ever changed your mind on anything?
And to be clear, the reason for changing my mind is to present your position in the affirmative and allow other
people to make an argument.
And that's because a lot of people are busy trying to score points.
And the idea for change of mind is to listen to someone make their case.
That being said, I have changed my mind on a subject.
Really?
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam Teslas let's go
All right.
Now, do we have the montage that Tim put together from HR?
No, we don't.
Okay.
All right.
That's what he would say.
He pulled some clips of me saying... It was in the teaser.
Oh, it was in the teaser.
Okay.
Of the Tesla.
Okay, so let me be really clear here.
I have spoken in the past about how this is where that montage would come in handy.
I wasn't a big fan of electric cars, Teslas in general.
Now, let me be really clear.
Where I have not changed my mind, the arguments still stand in that electric cars are not better for the environment than buying a used car.
Okay?
The best thing you can do is buy a used beater and drive it into the ground.
You don't need a new Tesla.
And if you go and you look at these lithium ion batteries, depending which ones they are, mining for these very difficult to put together minerals, And they basically sit in the earth for a very long time.
Right now, it is... And by the way, electricity comes from somewhere.
Coal.
Some places.
Mostly.
That's kind of... That's reductive.
Sorry.
But... Clean coal.
It does typically.
Where does your energy come from where you are?
It could come from gas, natural gas.
It could come from coal.
In Quebec, it came from hydroelectric, which is apparently a problem here because of an endangered species of fish.
I don't get it.
It's just water moving.
You saw Swiss Family Robinson.
I don't know how anyone's against it.
I am also still against subsidies in general.
I want to be really clear.
And there has been a lot of subsidization for electric cars.
And yes, Tesla is a company that would not exist if not for... My mind has not changed on that.
Also, I still maintain that most electric cars... This is where there's an exception.
Tesla is notwithstanding.
But most electric cars are still pretty gay.
By the way, hit the notification bell and subscribe.
If you want more of this.
Because every morning you get a notification.
If you were ever worried about us being able to do YouTube, it's the time to sign up for Mud Club.
You can't find a straight man driving a Prius?
What do you mean, uh?
I know a guy.
Really, you know a guy?
How well do you know the guy?
I rest my case.
Well, well, he knows.
He knows him inside and out.
Lay me out under the dun.
Tell me more, Jill!
Tell me more!
Tell me more!
Did you get very far?
Uh-huh!
Uh-huh!
I'm gay and you're singing the musical?
Really?
No, I'm just providing the backup vocals for your homosexual escapades.
Everyone knows what's happening here.
So, let me hit this.
Now, what has changed?
I am against subsidies, and Tesla has received a lot of subsidies.
But, let me be really clear here, because when I had to reflect upon all of this, right, Tesla is basically an American-based car manufacturer.
We have to compare them to the marketplace.
Now, Tesla has received directly $0.4 billion in subsidies.
Okay.
Not a big fan of that.
They did pay it all back early with interest.
So now if we compare that to the big three, GM, Chrysler, Ford, they received just in 2008, and that's not the first bailout, $80 billion alone.
And the taxpayers are still on the hook for $9 billion of those dollars.
So that's more.
$80 billion compared to $9 billion.
And I do think this is important because the bailout was given to the big three American car companies when they were losing market share because they had mismanaged their businesses, they had these crazy union pensions, whereas Tesla received these subsidies while they were creating a new market and expanding their market share.
So there is a difference with a new technology, right, and a government saying, okay, this might be beneficial in the long term if it's if it's a loan that is paid back, which it had been, and is
creating new markets because that will actually create new jobs.
That loan allowed Tesla to employ more Americans, whereas the bailout to GM, $9 billion of which
still we're on the hook for, thanks Barack Obama, actually just maintains employment
and retiree benefits for people who don't do any work.
Yeah, really, really, really bad union contracts.
I think it's also important, you know, listen, this is the result of too big to fail.
Now, in a perfect world, no car companies would be receiving bailouts.
No car companies would be receiving loans.
But it's really hard to create a car company in the 21st century when they're receiving 80, it's just like you can't create a new airline, right?
They're receiving hundreds of millions and billions of dollars over time because the government says, well, they're too big to fail, just like the banks.
Well, what should really happen is the bank should fail and then local state banks should become national banks, right?
Local credit They should be able to do a little bit better.
The same thing with cars.
Oh, you mismanaged it?
Well, now Daewoo gets a shot!
Only in this case... No, they've already had the shot.
It's Tesla, right?
It's Tesla.
It's really hard to compete against the big boys.
Just like opening up a bank, you're not going to compete with Bank of America.
So the fact that with only a $0.4 billion injection... Or $400 million.
I'm sorry, I can't do it.
What for is 400 million for how are we doing fine? Well, I just compared to 80 billion. I know I'm sorry
80 million as opposed to 80 billion and point. I screwed up.
Yeah, you did. I did. There you go Thank you for asking the question
But you didn't know the answers I I think that's one of the things that is important to
focus on is the question of where do where does government assistance?
Play a role in making sure that america can right heat on the world stage
Especially when you consider the legacy of the big three in america
I mean the the fact that they made poor decisions that led them to where they are and certainly
I'm, not saying there aren't some external factors, but a lot of it came down to poor planning poor
prognostication about a particular industry and getting too bloated and leading to needing to be supported in a way
that is just Make it sound like it's David Copperfield rehearsing with doves.
GO COVID!
Be free!
And yet when we need to try and create these kinds of businesses, compare an American car
manufacturer to what you can do in rural China.
I mean besides releasing viruses, you can do anything out there.
I mean you can literally do anything from industrial contamination.
You make it sound like it's David Copperfield rehearsing with doves.
Go COVID!
Be free!
Infect the world!
Yeah, and so when you look at those other countries that are competing, and it's not
just even Asian car brands, right?
There are European car brands that are also relying on other third world countries to provide, or rural areas like in China, to provide the vehicles and provide the technology and provide the other things that are giving them an advantage against American businesses.
So when it comes to trying to create a nascent car industry, I can see the idea about why we would want to make sure we can foster that in the U.S.
Yeah, but the point is you didn't need to because Tesla was there all along and it could have been occurring at ludicrous speed, a little inside joke there, where they could have advanced, but it's really hard for them to compete and grab a market share.
Here's another point that I want to get to, but I do agree with your argument there, and I do think it's something that needs to be examined.
In general, I'm against bailouts.
Tesla, now people will argue that they've been more subsidized in the form of a $7,500 tax credit, and that is true, where for electric vehicles, basically you get a $7,500 tax credit, and that's basically effectively a subsidy, but it's different because it's not just a one-time, like $80 billion bailout.
Right.
It's basically being subsidized through each car sold because they see value in this technology compared to, let's say, old gas guzzlers.
Now, I'm against that.
I am against that.
Again, $0.4 billion and then $7,500 for cars.
Here's the thing, though.
Here's the kicker.
Tesla getting $7,500 tax credit.
So is GM!
So is Ford.
Every electric car manufacturer gets the $7,500 tax credit.
So it's not a leg up from Tesla.
It's just the same level of competition field, only it's worse than that because Tesla has actually generated electric vehicles, and this is really what it comes down to, that people want to buy, as opposed to whatever it is, the Volt, the Bolt.
There's the Volt and the Bolt.
You would think the Volt The Bolt is the electric, but I think the Bolt is the non-electric, and then the Bolt is electric.
I don't know what it is.
There's the Leaf.
Horrible cars.
They receive $7,500 as well.
Tesla doesn't get any more, because once they sell 200,000 electronic vehicles, that credit goes away.
So because Tesla has been successful, despite paying back the loan with interest, and GM, Ford, Chrysler have not fully paid back the loan, they've sold 200,000 units, and now they no longer get that subsidy from the government, that tax credit, but GM, because they've been making Yeah.
shitty electric cars that nobody wants still get that same tax credit so they're still
to this day receiving more subsidization from the federal government.
So I did have to look at that again.
I am totally against bailouts.
I'm totally against supporting and propping up businesses.
that don't deserve it in the first place. However, you do have to live in the real world and understand,
ultimately, since we have given these ballots, is it better or worse for American consumers and
for people who are working in the American manufacturing sector to have another company
who can compete and pay back these loans with interest and do it on a buy-as-you-go?
So that is one thing that I actually will tell you has changed my mind on the Tesla.
But you know the main reason that you don't mind my Tesla?
On the Teslas, and I've ridden Tim's Tesla here from HR, my wife actually got, you know, the GBS, and so it was really hard, it's hard for her to drive right now, and so I was looking for this sort of autopilot features, and I was looking at Ford, and I was looking at the Korean cars, and then I had to look higher scale, where they said actually the auto driving is really much better on BMW and Mercedes, and then someone said, have you really just looked into a Tesla?
It's not even close.
Oh wow.
So I tried driving a Tesla.
It's pretty damn cool.
It's so fun.
It is so fun to drive, where that wasn't the case back when I had a friend who had a Prius.
He was gay.
In Simi Valley.
Drove the Prius, but I know it was not fully electric, but it was like driving a shopping cart, even with that one-fourth wheel that goes... And you're like, what the hell?
Why can't you get a cart that works?
Compared to the Tesla, it is more fun than any car I've ever driven.
Nice.
And the autopilot is incredible, so it does make sense to get for my wife.
You can do the one-pedal driving.
But even more than that, what convinced me, and I want to know where you line up here on Teslas, if this has maybe changed your mind a little bit or provided some context, was not only did I drive them, but when the Hodge twins were here for a week, I drove with them.
And so then I bought one immediately.
Here, you'll see why.
What the f**k?
Silk, mama!
I'm a pirate.
Uh, Audio Wade's first time in a Tesla too, right?
I'm glad you're going.
I don't know if a Tesla has exactly the same zip as a McLaren, but it's pretty.
What the f***?
It looks like a damn spaceship.
It's got that same jolt as a damn McLaren.
We were going 80.
What?
If you touch the car icon, you can actually turn that, see if it goes up.
Bottom left.
Oh yeah.
Oh, with the not, uh... Driving mode.
Oh, you didn't have it turned up this whole time.
What's a matter, Colonel Sanders?
Chickens?
So that was slow.
Yeah, that was on slow.
Um... What kind of axle does this damn thing got?
So, look at her act.
I'm doing it for speed!
Go!
What the f***?
Help!
Mama!
Jesus Christ!
Oh my God, man.
This s*** should be illegal.
I'm about two inches taller.
I feel like I got some giraffe action going.
Oh my God, this s***.
I'll line my neck.
Whoa!
Help, Mama!
Christ!
Jesus, man!
Two drops of pee came out!
They don't even feel like you're on the ground, though!
I mean, they both died owning Teslas.
I mean, the pee is like, look, okay, we're already going 80.
Yeah.
And then you just, if I, even at the high gear, if I just tap it, we just went to 100.
What the f**k?
That is crazy.
Is this the way of the future?
Oh, s**t, because all kinds are wrong.
I usually am okay with being pulled over, but not with you two.
Someone's going to find out, huh?
Alright, here, let's see.
I'm going to get in a lane, and I'll try the autopilot, and then we'll let you guys... God, man, I think my heart's freaking out, man.
You're going to do this again?
Okay, so look.
Hands off the...
Hands off the wheel.
And if I can't get it out, I'll just...
Do you think I should trust it going around this curve?
Nah, I wouldn't.
Look, it just takes off.
How the hell it knows to stay in the lane though?
Look, it's showing me all the cars around me on the side.
Yeah.
And see the same thing, it doesn't drive as aggressively obviously if you... Right.
But if I do, I think this one does, if I hit the flasher...
It says I can't because there's a car?
Uh-huh.
Oh, son of a b**ch.
Oh, it's Bryce.
F**k off!
We're trying to get into the left lane!
Alright, here, you know what?
I'll pull into the parking lot here.
And then, uh, one of you guys can... Who wants to grab the wheel?
Alright, you gotta go to the next parking lot.
Look, I went eight.
I went to 75.
That was in three... That was in, like, less than two seconds.
You f**king a**hole.
I can't wait till this drill ride's over.
You don't want to drive?
I don't trust myself in this car, man.
Go ahead and drive it, Kevin.
You're going to go f*** yourself.
So, Keith, you're going to drive?
Kevin.
Oh, you're Kevin?
Yeah.
Who said Keith was driving?
I'm Keith.
Who's going to drive?
Keith or Kevin?
I don't f***ing get confused.
You know this s*** happens all the time.
Hey, Siri, you there, b***h?
You trying to drive?
Let me see some rear view camera action.
You got to do it again.
I don't think so.
I guess they don't talk n****s like that.
Grabbing a road, huh?
Yeah, I'm liking the smooth action.
Man, it feels like I'm flying and getting sick to my stomach.
So that guy in the Tesla, you're going to jail.
Man, you're going too damn fast, man.
This don't even feel like a car, man.
It feel like a... Let me get some driving action.
This feel like some s*** in Wakanda.
Grabbing the road.
I don't know if you know this, but all of Africa would be like Wakanda if not for the United States.
Yeah.
We stole all their skyscrapers and technology on ships.
Obama did that, didn't he?
Yeah.
Pull it twice?
Yeah, pull it twice.
See the blue, now let go.
You just kind of lightly touch the wheel, but you see the blue steering wheel in front of you?
Yeah.
That means it's on.
No, no, you put your, you want to keep your hands on lightly.
How'd I turn this s**t, it's freaking me the f**k out.
No, no, no, it's going to be good for us.
No f**k that, my heart is beating.
Lightly touch the wheel, it's going to drive.
This s**t is f**king natural, man.
Here, hit the flasher to go into left lane.
I ain't doing that!
Hit the flasher!
I ain't hitting the f***ing flasher, man!
I gotta touch the wheel.
Touch the wheel?
F*** you.
I'm just grabbing the wheel.
Alright, if you tap the brake, it'll just tap the brake lightly, it'll take off.
There you go.
No more autopilot.
What a p***.
You guys can switch.
You want me to drive it to you?
F*** me.
They can't be anywhere near us.
Yeah.
That's what I'm talking about right here.
Hey man, what you doing, man?
You feel that?
You feel that s***?
Hey Keith, man.
You get in an accident, man.
This s*** is being recorded live.
Hey man, would you take it easy on the gas, man?
I mean, on the electricity.
Yeah, whatever it is.
That's why this thing don't run on gas.
Big-ass Duracell.
I'm gonna go buy me one of them Duracell cars.
There we go.
And now you can let go.
It'll ask you to touch the wheel lightly every now and then, just so it... I don't know why.
This is some iRobot action.
Will, it hurt when you f*** me, Will.
You ain't asking the right question.
That, my friend, is the right question.
So I think if we just get out, I think it'll turn off.
I think it's a damn vegetable.
And there you have it.
My mind was changed.
I don't know if all of you have two biracial hilarious comedians at the ready, but it helps.
I want to know what you think with the Tesla electric cars in general.
Has any of this changed your opinion when you put it in context of subsidization and the fact that Elon Musk has created some really pretty cool cars?
And looks like a small child.
So, Elon, I hope you enjoy the stock prices soaring.
It's entirely due to this program.
I've changed my mind.
Tesla's next installment will be... weed.
I can already see the comments coming. Oh. Ooh, that was fun. Alright, yeah.
Hodge twins.
They're just like that all the time.
Those guys.
Those guys.
They're like walking cartoon characters.
Incredible.
Do you know they live in a townhome together?
A split townhome.
Really?
I'm not surprised.
One bathroom.
Yeah, when they're here, they go to the same bathroom.
They use the same bathroom at the same time.
We have two bathrooms.
Right next to each other.
Right next to each other.
That's a bit messy.
Yeah, I don't know.
Were you looking at the security camera footage?
That makes you weird.
See, going to the bathroom is a natural function.
Watching a guy going to the bathroom... I didn't watch anybody!
Yeah, well then how could he confirm it?
I don't believe him.
Alright, well listen, hey, we're gonna go to the polls with some surprising numbers that have come out recently, particularly from I know Rasmuson people say, oh Rasmuson, well they still had Clinton winning the last election and now Emerson College has a new poll.
We're going to be talking about that exclusively and taking your chat at louderwithcreditor.com slash MugClub live on the blaze right now.
