	You'll look better, but more importantly, you'll feel better.
	Unless you have COVID, then you'll probably die.
	DriverScoff.com!
	🎵 🎵 You're a stranger in love, that's what I know 🎵
	🎵 You're a stranger in love, I know that far below 🎵 🎵 I'm gonna speed it up 🎵
	🎵 I'm gonna speed it up 🎵 Mmm! That's what we call a late slurp!
	Is it?
	It's a late slurp because we're running late today because the Texas power grid sucked.
	Oh, what?
	Ercot.
	Might want to think twice about secession.
	No, I think there are a bunch of coal plants, too, in Texas that we can't use from the Obama era.
	We went to wind and solar.
	I don't know if you know this.
	Have you felt a lot of wind in Texas lately?
	I don't know.
	It's not known for its winding topography.
	It's flat, though.
	So we are a little late, but it's a good thing because we'll be able to talk about Boudin.
	Boudin.
	Boy, I already had my Boudin moment.
	Biden and Putin, which is fun, they're meeting right now and actually Wolf Blitzer is talking about what he's not allowed to broadcast on CNN right now.
	And I don't have a monitor working, so Sound Guy Tim, do you think you can step down?
	Yeah, you want to jump down?
	Yeah, jump down there.
	I won't do anything too tricky for you with the sound.
	By the way, Cultural Appropriation Month, I just want to tell you this, Thursday, tomorrow, Greece is what we're doing.
	So we're talking about Putin and Biden.
	We're talking about the crime spree.
	I don't know if you know this now, but if you thought you had to pay for things at like Walgreens, you don't.
	Oh, they're doing a sale, huh?
	Yeah.
	No.
	Flash sale.
	Oh, no.
	Yeah, I mean, it's a crime sale.
	Ah, got it.
	Five-finger discount.
	Boko.
	Boko.
	And then we'll be talking about Charles Barkley, which is fun for those big ol' women in San Antone.
	Alright, Gerald A., how are you, sir?
	I'm well, how are you?
	I'm okay.
	Now that we're on air.
	Now that we're on air, we apologize, but not really, you know?
	Well, it's not our fault.
	For those of you who aren't Mug Club members, get your money's worth.
	Yeah, sometimes it's a lot, sometimes it's a little.
	Quarterback Garrett, steal anything at CBS?
	I'm working on it, dude.
	I'm working.
	I gotta wait till I get off work.
	He's more of a Duane Reade guy.
	And Dave, how are you doing?
	Dave Landa?
	I'm alright.
	What's wrong?
	I just put night drops on.
	Ahoy, everybody!
	And you have a new show in Waterford this weekend.
	They added a show because it was sold out.
	They added a show.
	We're now going to do a late night or 9 p.m., which is late to many people.
	Yeah.
	The early one's 7 this Saturday.
	One Night Stands in Waterford.
	That's a horrible name.
	You're doing two at One Night Stand.
	Two shows at One Night Stands and for two days.
	Yeah.
	Very confusing.
	It's hardly a one night stand.
	No, that business should be shut down in principle.
	Yeah.
	They named it like, hey, we're going to set out the name of our club with limitations.
	Immediately.
	We want the ceiling to be as low as humanly possible.
	Hey, what if we have a popular comic?
	It's one!
	One night.
	Just one.
	Big room, though.
	So it'll be a lot of fun.
	Dave is great.
	Big place to have a three-night, one-night stand.
	Yes, three-night, one-night stand.
	That's about what Putin is doing with our former vice president right now.
	I think he's about... it's nap time.
	I bring you to where they charge by the hour!
	You like it, Biden?
	You take it!
	Your son is there already?
	Yes.
	Oh, wow.
	What?
	By the way, you have great looking family.
	I met your niece.
	Oh, fine feet.
	I fake bringing Hunter room service.
	He keep the robe for himself.
	He never share the robe with the niece.
	I sat on your knees!
	So, look, I want to be really clear about this.
	I am not rooting for Putin at all.
	People are saying this.
	I cannot stand Putin.
	I think that Putin is a killer.
	Oh yeah.
	KGB agent?
	Yeah, KGB.
	I want to be really clear about this.
	I don't think they're murderers.
	How dare you!
	And I hate that we are in a position of weakness right now with Joe Biden and President Putin.
	So I wish that we had a stronger president.
	And I know people have their criticisms ready for Donald Trump, but we'll get to that.
	He was a strong president.
	Today, face-to-face meeting.
	Secretary of State Anthony Blinken said the meetings will focus on ransomware cyberattacks, like the Colonial Pipeline, and they won't be holding a joint press conference afterwards.
	They'll be doing separate.
	Uh, press conferences.
	And look, this is one of those things they often do on cable news and it's useless, uh, the body language experts.
	Yeah.
	But in this case, I do, I did think it was interesting.
	I just want you to compare Donald Trump's meeting with Putin versus former Vice President Joe Biden's meeting with Putin.
	Just the initial body language.
	Here you go.
	Already this morning, our first look at the first greeting between President Trump and President Putin, posted online by the German government.
	A handshake and pat on the back.
	The quick interaction.
	Listen to this.
	I'm going to have to tell you something else, because I guess you're in the back.
	Just a second.
	Her business. She's big for you.
	Her business?
	Yeah.
	Just a second.
	Bye.
	Hear that?
	Shake his hand in just a second.
	We're going to have a talk now.
	When I'm ready.
	Obviously that will continue, but we look forward to a lot of very positive things happening for Russia, for the United States, and for everybody concerned.
	It's an honor to be with you.
	you far and he agrees or any potential for
	agreement is likely that the presents would task some of their age their
	advisors to try to pursue it going But just as we get started on this data... Now look at this body language.
	Look when Putin's like, this friggin' guy.
	He crossed his legs.
	Look at him right here.
	Look at him.
	Ah, this guy.
	He must have no balls.
	He sits with his legs like that.
	You hurt your balls as men.
	President Joe Biden on one side, Vladimir Putin on the other.
	This guy, he must have no balls.
	He sits his legs like that.
	You hurt your balls as men.
	Are you lady on talk show?
	Don't interrupt me.
	This is not the view.
	For years and years and years and years.
	Alright, that's enough.
	I made my flag one inch bigger.
	Now, the thing is, just so people know, too, Donald Trump has talked about body language at all and sort of asserting an authoritative position.
	They say, are you going to shake his hand?
	He says, in a second.
	In control.
	In a second.
	And he's also doing this, pointing, right?
	Like he's a child.
	Like, look, that's the advocate.
	Like he's in a waiting room at a pediatrician.
	That's the advocate.
	If you take that thing along the metal wire, it goes to the end.
	That's a coloring book.
	That's a map.
	That's highlights for children.
	Yeah.
	He is, the guy is projecting control.
	Now do you think that, and this is one thing too, look, I hate that Donald Trump complimented Putin.
	I absolutely do.
	But this is important to note.
	Donald Trump did compliment, for example, Kim Jong-un at one point.
	Did compliment Putin.
	But he negotiated from a position of power, which matters.
	For example, people made a big deal that Donald Trump crossed over into the North Korean border.
	First president to do it.
	Guess what?
	His deal was denuclearize or nothing.
	And they didn't, and he left with nothing.
	And then he crapped all over Kim Jong Un.
	So, Donald Trump was complimentary, I would prefer it be neutral, but from a position of power.
	Here is my concern.
	Former Vice President Joe Biden is insulting calling Putin a killer before he walks it back from a position of weakness.
	That's the worst thing you could... It's like talking trash to a bully who knows that he can kick your ass!
	Now why do I say that?
	Because under Obama's watch, despite what people want to talk about Russian cyber meddling because of $10,000 of Facebook ads, Under former Vice President Biden's watch with Barack Obama at the helm, as opposed to Kamala Harris, invaded Ukraine, illegally annexed Crimea, joined the Syrian war in support of the Syrian President al-Assad.
	Kind of big ones.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	Hitler, when he started the Second World War, essentially took the Sudetenland away and the world did nothing.
	Putin did the exact same thing.
	So if you want to compare Donald Trump to a tyrant, Look at Putin.
	That's an actual tyrant.
	He takes parts of other countries whenever he wants.
	He jails dissidents.
	He kills his own citizens.
	And we've sent a guy over there who can barely walk up a flight of stairs.
	Well, not only that, but he did it less as far as internationally.
	Acted up less.
	Putin under Donald Trump's watch.
	And you know what else happened?
	That's true.
	Everyone said Donald Trump is caving to Putin by pissing off our NATO allies.
	No, he said they needed to pay their fair share.
	And guess what?
	For the first time in two decades, they did.
	Yeah, exactly.
	They started paying more than 0.5 percent.
	Well, it's my understanding he's a bigot.
	I watched the coverage this morning and CNN's like, it'll be nice to get Russian and U.S.
	relations.
	They won't be good, but they'll be predictable.
	And I'm like, predictably weak is not good.
	It was okay that Putin didn't know what Donald Trump was going to do.
	It kept him in check a little bit.
	Right, he was like, why you juke me?
	This guy, he's not president, he shock and jive!
	I don't like you, but I respect you.
	Where's Biden?
	He's like, you call me killer?
	Come over here, sit on my lap.
	Better yet, bring your niece!
	He tries to hand me the new codes and I reach and he just lifts it up so high I can't get it.
	He pranks me.
	You know what I do to former vice president Biden?
	I go, hey, I'm going to die!
	And I don't even have any hair!
	He's a bitch!
	I stab you with poison umbrella and I do no handshake!
	This is a genuine question to you guys out there.
	Who do you think Is going to be more firm with Putin.
	Do you think that it was Donald Trump?
	Do you think Joe Biden?
	Do you think it's going to improve our relations?
	Here's the thing.
	I don't like Putin.
	I want to call him out as the horrible killer that he is.
	He's one of the world's wealthiest men through ill-gotten gain.
	But I also don't want to go to war with Russia.
	I don't want to have another Cold War.
	And I certainly don't want to get into any kind of conflict with, like you said, a man who still has to use the bunny method for his laces.
	I don't even want to get a shave in Russia.
	Would you trust that?
	No, I'm not.
	You'd be like, this thing is getting dragged across my throat by the end of it.
	It comes with complimentary HIP-A!
	Yes, enjoy!
	HIP-A!
	That's what we call it, right?
	It's like filter.
	So, um, all right, here's something else that I want to talk about.
	While we're going, let's go across the pond back to here.
	Here.
	Because America first.
	Or today, second, because we talked about Russia first.
	I need to warn you if you have children here, I want to sort of look at the macro a little bit.
	There have been a lot of crimes that people have not covered.
	For example, there was another one that we don't even have on the show today.
	Was it Alabama or Louisiana where it was racially motivated?
	I think it was a black guy that was after white guys.
	It was racially motivated in that case, but that's why you didn't hear about it.
	Yeah.
	And we are seeing more crime.
	We're seeing crime spike across the country.
	But I think what people are missing here is we've had things ebb and flow with crime.
	But there is a notable spike here, and there's a notable pattern of behavior.
	And it really is.
	Right now, we have a culture where there's a complete lack of accountability, where criminals feel that they can commit what were once relatively serious crimes, Without any consequences, compared to, you know, Russia, where you're in a punk band and you never see the light of day again.
	Well, they were basically told that they can do these things.
	Yes.
	By the governments.
	So before we get to Walgreens, which everyone is talking about, this happened Monday, but I don't think the footage was really out there until yesterday.
	I'm warning you guys, this man gets shot, a security guard, but he lives.
	You don't see him get shot in the video, but you do see the lead-up.
	So I still, if you have children around, I wouldn't have them watch this.
	Lenox Mall in Atlanta.
	I guess it used to be one of the better malls.
	Shot in the chest.
	Point Blank.
	The story says they were demanding his Apple store card.
	I think you have to talk.
	And that is a rotunda lady with a firearm according to police report.
	For people listening, it's very clear the security guard does not want to get violent.
	He's trying to avoid confrontation.
	Two people cornering him with a firearm.
	He's backing up.
	And finally...
	You don't see it, but...
	Yeah, that's what happens.
	The man... No, he lived.
	He's still alive, from what I understand.
	Hey, can I say at this point, can I say... Can I say overweight hood rat bitch when she shoots someone with a gun who is innocently trying to be non-violent?
	Can I call that woman a bitch?
	I just want to make sure that's not a violation of YouTube guidelines.
	That's a question.
	Calling someone... Hey, can we say that that woman... At least can I say she's acting bitchy?
	Blowing a hole through a man's chest cavity?
	Who didn't deserve any of it, by the way?
	And this is not an isolated incident.
	This happened, by the way, Atlanta Zone 2.
	So I looked up some police stats from there.
	Murders have increased 17% since last year.
	Shootings 26%, but here's the kicker.
	They increased from 2019 to 2020.
	2019 to 2020, 133% murders and shootings 164% So total you're looking at about a hundred and fifty and
	one eighty something respectively since the riots have started
	Yeah, that's what I was about to say.
	2020 was horrible for most places.
	I can't believe they are out doing that now.
	Really?
	No, I can't, because I thought 2020 would be the worst.
	Oh my gosh, it's like a pinball machine.
	They're trying to hit the high score.
	Well, it's almost like they got away with stuff for so long they just kept doing it because it actually has nothing to do with the cause.
	Dan, that's logical.
	Stop it.
	Dan, it's almost as though there are no consequences.
	It's weird when you take away consequences from shitty people.
	You know what I see there, though?
	Two things that might solve that problem.
	Actually, you know what?
	Maybe three.
	We need to first, obviously, fix systemic discrimination.
	Two, more gun control.
	And three, send in a social worker.
	You want to send in people who can do less than the guy who was just shot?
	He's a security guard.
	They shot Paul Blart.
	I assume he has some kind of a baton.
	That's what happened.
	There you go.
	Now you know.
	What happens if you send in?
	If you send in social workers who are less capable in the realm of physical violence, have you ever met one?
	Well, do they have a clipboard?
	Yes.
	I'm in full support.
	Will they talk sternly to the individual?
	Yeah, I am also in full support.
	Send them in.
	No, I just would like to see, I think it's an important test that we see if this works.
	I mean, it's only fair.
	If you have a social studies degree, We'll send you to Atlanta Zone 2.
	It just makes common sense.
	By the way, I was a little blown away by the people recording it and how long it took them to come to the acknowledgment that we need to call the police.
	They were like, well, I think we need to call the police.
	No, we didn't show that yet.
	Do another clip.
	By the way, if you're filming someone aiming a gun at somebody and you have 45 seconds before they... You've lived an asshole's life.
	Yeah, there's cameras around, and you could switch that camera, you got right into the 911 button on your phone.
	Yeah, exactly.
	A direct connection to the police.
	It actually started!
	It actually started as a phone!
	My very first cell phone, my parents said, only use this to call us in an emergency after you've called 911.
	That's crazy.
	Otherwise, you're going to get a second summer job and pay the roaming fees.
	They weren't like, do me a favor, take 400 pictures of yourself, you narcissist.
	Send pictures of your tits to your, you know, whoever.
	It doesn't even have to be your boyfriend.
	No.
	We're progressive!
	We let you drink in the house!
	And this goes to what happened yesterday, which has gone viral.
	So that's an extreme example, and this is another example.
	Well, people don't know this.
	Anything under $950 in San Francisco that you steal is no longer, basically they can't do anything.
	Oh, I'll be back.
	Right.
	Yeah.
	Are you serious?
	Rearrange.
	Yeah, so I think you have the number here.
	It's anything under $950 is petty theft.
	Oh my gosh.
	Yeah, it's petty theft.
	And nobody will stop you for it.
	Is that included banks?
	There are actually many incidents of people stealing precisely $949.
	Of course!
	What if you, like, leave and then come back in and get another $950?
	Is it, like, per trip?
	How about you do that math and become an accountant?
	I would go from bank to bank, I need to withdraw $949, alright?
	Do you have an account, sir?
	No, but I'm told this is okay.
	And I want to do it in pennies, and if you have the world's largest sock.
	So, these people shot, that security guard was shot by two people, and then here, two Walgreens security guards in San Francisco, just watch as a man with a bicycle inside a Walgreens.
	Yeah.
	Take stuff.
	So you think someone comes in with sticky hands on a bicycle, you might say, oh, something's going on here.
	Might be on alert.
	Better let them finish.
	Nothing crossed their mind, as you can hear by the conversation.
	Here you go, San Francisco.
	He's getting cardio.
	Guy in the man bun.
	He's stealing hair color?
	That's the weakest thing ever.
	Stop it.
	Look!
	He's not even in a rush with the automatic door.
	No.
	He's... I'll wait.
	Unbelievable.
	I've been more frustrated, you know, more rushed.
	There's more of a sense of urgency when I get an angry text from my pregnant wife.
	Yeah.
	Like, ah!
	Stupid Walgreens door!
	This guy's just like... I'll wait for it.
	It'll open.
	The most ironic thing is he brought his bike in because he's afraid someone might steal it.
	Yeah, you can't just leave it outside.
	Just walks out, it's just a hanging lock.
	You animals!
	There's a lot of crime around here.
	Is there no honor in this town?
	Doesn't pay to take chances.
	But he brought his own trash bag, that was nice.
	Oh, but he was, this is one thing, he was stealing the, I saw him stealing, you know, milk.
	Yeah, light grabbing medication.
	Defeating small children.
	No, definitely it wasn't razor bump lotion.
	Hey, that's a necessity.
	I know.
	I got the curly hair.
	I gotta do it.
	Otherwise, you get those ingrown hairs.
	One time I pulled one out, it was like Jafar's beard.
	Disgusting.
	And this is something, too, that's interesting.
	New Jersey was just voted, or just named, best state to live in.
	Oh my God.
	And I thought the headlines write themselves.
	But think about this for a second.
	This is what happens in New Jersey.
	In New Jersey, you can actually be sued by someone who breaks into your house.
	People say, well, because New Jersey has castle doctrine.
	No, no!
	You also have a duty to retreat.
	So in other words, unless you can prove that there was no back door, if you trip a guy in your house, you could be sued.
	We are now in an environment, like in San Francisco, where criminals are encouraged And law-abiding citizens are discouraged from taking part in society.
	They're fearful.
	They are afraid.
	And this is, of course, true.
	You see that I was surprised.
	You know, Twitter obviously has their thumb on the button.
	You could at least try and make the left look good, because when Walgreens was trending, it immediately left us rushed to the defense of these people.
	So let me read you some of these, these, these criminal, victim shaming is a thing.
	Oh yeah.
	Perpetrator praising is a thing.
	Yes, definitely.
	So one guy wrote, organized crime equals one dude on a bicycle shoplifting from Walgreens.
	The real organized crime, preventing people from getting their medicine is the pharmaceutical industry.
	Yeah, I'm sure he was picking up his Ivermectin.
	The real organized crime would have tuned that guy up outside.
	I just can't imagine, you know, when I was a kid and I was afraid of like, ooh, I had my grandfather's brass knuckles and they were technically illegal.
	This didn't even cross their mind!
	When you're a kid, you're like, oh, I got black cats.
	I'm not supposed to have them because I'm not 18.
	They're like, yeah, I know what that feels like.
	I ripped off a pack of razors and 18 bags of nicotine gum and didn't pay a dime.
	We live two very different lives.
	I would steal CDs, I'm not going to lie.
	I was a kid and tapes.
	And I felt bad years later.
	And I swear to God, I would have gone back, but they're out of business.
	Maybe it was because of all the shoplifting.
	Yeah, I think it was that and technology changed.
	But I would have gone, I went back to places where I dined and dashed because I felt really bad, found the waitress and left giant hips.
	Really?
	Two, three bucks.
	A couple years later I did, yeah.
	When you're young and stupid you don't realize that's an awful thing.
	This is the Kamala defense, right?
	Well, I know he's shoplifting from Walgreens, but Big Pharma?
	I'm like, the two aren't connected.
	He's not behind the pharmacy counter.
	By the way, you guys are walking billboards for Big Pharma.
	Two companies!
	And I'm not saying anything anti-vaccine at all, but I'm saying you guys have no problem asking for mandates and passports With really only three companies, two that have a duopoly in the United States with Moderna and Pfizer.
	I never want to hear from you or Stephen Colbert at a let's all go to the lobby with vaccinations by pharmaceutical name.
	Never again can you lecture me about big pharma.
	I don't care about your kushtanga root or what you're doing with your ayurvedic medicine.
	No, no, no.
	When push came to shove, you guys became quizlings for two pharmaceutical companies.
	It's done.
	It's over.
	You're a lackey.
	Go home.
	Now, these are other tweets justifying it.
	Regarding the Walgreens CEO getting a $25 million bonus, if you're concerned about looting, I've got some news for you.
	Oh, well there's a hot take.
	And then of course, resident pile of garbage Tariq Nasheed tweeted, this Walgreens situation is one of those see what happens when we don't let the police do their job and kill those n-words propaganda stories.
	Well I believe you're paraphrasing because I wouldn't use that type of racist language but the general sentiment Yeah, and also, that's not what happened.
	He left on a bike with a trash bag of stuff.
	He strolled away!
	Yeah, having a cop handcuff him is not the... like, tell me the story where somebody has been shoplifting and his behavior was like, officers, I'm sorry, I'll drop the goods, and was shot.
	And killed.
	Tell me that story because I haven't read it yet.
	As far as I'm concerned, that man-bunned guy in the bomber jacket that looks like he was one of the guards in the Santa Claus when the elves tied him up with tinsel, that guy should have clotheslined this guy in the bicycle like Doink the Clown and a midget was running out before him.
	That's how brutal it should have been.
	What's his job now?
	He gingerly touched his bag as he got out of the way.
	He kept his phone in his pocket.
	For crying out loud, throw that left with everything you've got!
	He's riding into it!
	It's a free knockout!
	What does he do?
	A genuine question now, if you're a security guard at a store that doesn't do anything, you're just getting free money to stand there and watch a show!
	It's actually worse than that, because it used to be, we're helpless, right?
	Because you don't carry firearms, because you don't believe that There is such a thing as righteous violence in the case of someone committing a crime or even an assault, but they're further on down the trail where they're afraid if they call 9-1-1.
	Was that enforcing systemic?
	I don't know.
	I don't know.
	How about 4-1-1?
	We'll just get some information.
	4-1-1?
	What should I do?
	But you're going to lose your business if you don't stop people from coming in and stealing everything.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Well, this is something that's also interesting.
	Arrests in San Francisco have gone way down despite larceny going up.
	So see that number?
	There were years where over 60% of those those thefts went, you know, either arrested, prosecuted, charged.
	It was at 17?
	Well, crime is going down, Steven.
	They're not prosecuting people, so the numbers are good.
	It's a good thing.
	So, they've already closed 17 Walgreens in San Francisco.
	Some people say it's due to theft, some people say, well, no, you can't argue it's due to theft because they've closed a ton of stores in New York, too.
	I understand your point there, but I would argue they closed in New York also due to theft.
	Yes, the Duane Reade's there that were shutting down left and right when I was living there, it was theft.
	I don't even know why they bother putting prices on the 32 ounce beer cans at Duane Reade.
	It should just be buy one, just take one, take one.
	Take two.
	I was at Duane Reade many times where I was like, I should just leave.
	You're all doing it.
	I don't want to wait in line.
	And by the way, I have no doubt, no doubt for a second.
	That if I went up to a Walgreens in San Francisco and said, okay, I'll take the nicotine gum, give me, I don't know, some lighter fluid, give me a home COVID test, and I tried to walk out, they would beat my large white ass without thinking twice, because no one's going to be scared about beating me up.
	We should test this.
	Think about it.
	There's no risk of them being accused of being a racist.
	Not at all.
	This is the issue right now is people are afraid.
	They don't want to be in the nightly news and lose their entire livelihood.
	Let's be honest about what it is.
	What if you wore, like, a BLM shirt or something?
	Does that give you any cover?
	No?
	No!
	You could be an ally!
	It doesn't matter if I'm an ally!
	They'll beat my sorry allied ass!
	They would rather just you not be on the nightly news and just lose their entire livelihood anyway to theft.
	It's a slow burn, Dave.
	And I love how people separate.
	I don't know if Walgreens, I believe in certain states, there are franchises because of different pharmaceutical laws, but in general it's corporate.
	But look, let's not act like Walgreens is the only place that's been affected by this.
	When people say, oh, these giant CEOs.
	Do you know what a franchise is?
	Do you know that a franchise allows mom-and-pop shops to actually start up businesses without all of the overhead?
	You know, when you go to whatever, it could be Chili's or Buffalo Wild Wings, half of these places are franchises.
	They're small business owners who just didn't have the capital to start something on their own.
	You are hurting them.
	Yeah.
	People have this idea that you own a turnkey business and you're a multi-multi-multi-millionaire.
	Right.
	Some people own three or four different ones and maybe make 15 grand a year eventually off of each one.
	Right.
	Imagine somebody who franchises Subway two days before Jared got arrested.
	They were like, finally our dream!
	I'm sorry, our spokesperson did a what?
	He's just bringing out the new footlong ad and back into the game.
	Yeah, no.
	No.
	Look, these used to be Jared's pants!
	He could fit a kid in there.
	I had a 401k before this.
	I just quit my job for this sandwich chain.
	Well, you guys remember this started with Walmart, whenever they locked up certain products that were high theft products, they were accused of being racist?
	Yes.
	And they went and took it away and they said, okay, I guess we have to allow theft now.
	I guess theft is now a social, it's a human right.
	No, it's not a guess.
	They are allowing theft in San Francisco.
	$950.
	But here's the thing.
	$950.
	You say, okay, fool me once.
	Another $950.
	All right.
	Wait, hold on a second.
	Make me think someone should keep an eye on the people coming in on bicycles.
	$950, three, four, five, it adds up!
	People don't understand, you can lose thousands of dollars a day, and they do, and they're closing down stores.
	Can you attribute it only to theft?
	No, but I'm pretty sure it factors into the equation.
	$9,000 a day?
	Put that, like, what if my workday is just walking from store to store, stealing as much as, I'd make five, ten grand a week.
	Oh my god, wearing a mask, it's just trick-or-treating!
	That's 500 grand a year.
	50 weeks?
	I can take two weeks off for Christmas?
	I'm on the wrong line of work.
	You could steal a mask from there during Halloween season.
	No, then they would beat your ass if you walked in maskless.
	That's true.
	Even we have limits.
	They're standard.
	Step over the human poop needles, come and steal $950, but if you don't have a mask, speak into the microphone, sister.
	I love how, though, they lock up high-theft items.
	They're like, oh yeah, people are stealing a lot of them.
	Well, that's racist.
	Alright, then they unlock it.
	It's like, oh, did that fix it?
	Well, no, no, they just kept, they stealed it just the same.
	They stole them again.
	I don't know, they're gone now.
	But at least we're not racist, so that's good.
	But at least we were way off on that.
	STOP BREAKING THE LAW, ASSHOLE!
	Note to backroom, order more Argon oil.
	More Argon oil.
	I don't even care if you steal from a Walmart.
	At least we know it won't be AR-15 ammo!
	Oh no, these giant corporations that have taken over everything, and I used to not be that guy that liked the corporations, but now that basically the liberal agenda is rude for the corporations, have at it!
	They all support these things, so hey, it's what you want.
	Yeah, no, you'll love it.
	And it really has fundamentally changed the fabric of our country here, and we've even talked about this.
	This is just the one that you see, but it's been going on for the last several weeks.
	You guys remember they cancelled cops.
	Yeah.
	For obvious reasons.
	The show, yeah.
	But there is the reiteration, now that it's been playing for weeks, No Cops, and there were quite a few instances of what we're discussing in last week's episode.
	Tonight on No Cops.
	It's all over the place right now. We're close right now.
	We're recording.
	Oh, okay.
	That's why I gotta take the phone.
	Stay tuned for more No Cops!
	What are the chances of two people stealing?
	I love how that thief is taking his time to make a choice.
	He's perusing.
	He's like, I don't know, can I get a review on one of these?
	I'm not going to take everything.
	I'm not heartless.
	Just most of it.
	She brought a roller board suitcase.
	I know, right?
	To be fair, she stole the Samsonite from Kohl's.
	That's true.
	You gotta hit Kohl's before you go stealing stuff elsewhere.
	He goes, oh, so now I gotta take your phone.
	You made me do it.
	And it's the same way like, I don't know, should I call 9-1-1 first?
	No!
	Okay.
	Alright.
	Oh, you're recording?
	I'm forced to take your phone now.
	I'm sorry.
	I didn't want to steal it.
	I'm a Samson guy.
	I guess I'll be phoning the bus.
	So yeah, and you know what, I actually want to hear from you guys out there.
	Have you seen more theft if you guys live, particularly people who live in major cities, because we get a lot of mail about it, but just in the comment section, I'd be interested to see, this is totally anecdotal, right, because we do have the statistics here, but you know, let me know what your experience has been.
	And this brings us to, remember the Austin shooter yesterday?
	And look, obviously because it's been, it's just the compression has been So severe, if it seems like we're making light of this.
	We're not.
	I just, you know, when your country is potentially going to hell in a handbasket, you have to laugh.
	Otherwise, you might defend your property.
	And that's racist.
	It's a problem.
	And a handbasket.
	Pretty good for shoplifts.
	Yes it is!
	Doesn't compete with a rolling Samsonite.
	So much storage space.
	Samsonite is greater than Trashbag Boy.
	At that point, just steal the shopping cart.
	Exactly.
	Just pull the bubbles.
	Rollin' on.
	As long as it's under 949 dows.
	So the Austin shooter we covered yesterday, for people who don't remember, NPR identified this is just the kind of bias that people may not know is taking place, and I wanted to reiterate it because some people missed this.
	NPR was once thought of as unbiased news.
	They named the race of the assailant, of the victim, in several instances, but then never as it related to the Austin mass shooting, which is usually a raison d'etre for the media.
	Mass shooting.
	It's like catnip for dishonest reporters.
	But this is how they covered it.
	A woman was killed in Minneapolis last night after a man drove his vehicle at high speed into a crowd of demonstrators.
	As Matt Sepik of Minnesota Public Radio reports, protesters detained the alleged attacker until police arrived.
	The demonstrators blocked Lake Street in the city's uptown area to protest the killing of Winston Smith.
	Sheriff's deputies on a U.S.
	Marshals Service task force fatally shot the 32-year-old black man June 3rd while trying to arrest him on a firearms warrant.
	Local activist DJ Hooker says a driver accelerated through barricades and hit several parked cars, one of which struck and killed a woman sitting on the curb.
	A car came at us going like 70 or 80 miles an hour.
	I just have to show this to you guys longer so you know it's not edited at all.
	And it hit the car.
	Video that Hooker took at the scene shows protesters detaining the apparent driver, a white man, and handing him over to police.
	For NPR News, I'm Matt Sepik in Minneapolis.
	You're listening to NPR News from Washington.
	Now the very next story.
	Officials in Austin, Texas say a man has died of his injuries following a mass shooting downtown early Saturday morning.
	No race for the man?
	The shooting left more than a dozen people injured.
	At least one suspect has been arrested.
	Austin police say they think the shooting began as a dispute between two parties.
	The incident occurred along Austin's 6th Street, a popular nightlife destination.
	A winning bidder is set to join Jeff Bezos.
	Now we're on to the next story.
	I mean, it's almost pattern disruption.
	You're like, okay, here, oh, a black man, okay, okay, a white man, and then, wait.
	What?
	Nothing?
	Do they not know, Stephen?
	Do they not know?
	Well, look, and this is just, this is the issue with people saying, why are you responding to it?
	Because the left, obviously, listen, when you understand critical race theory, When you understand identity politics, they absolutely are dividing our country more than we've ever seen, and they are creating.
	I've said this for a long time.
	I said this before these things started, before these current riots started.
	I said it before the 2016 election.
	I was really worried that you were going to create more racists.
	I just didn't know that we would actually have violent anti-white racism so quickly as an epidemic.
	And I hate to say this, especially as someone who goes to a mixed church.
	You're going to have the backlash, and you're going to have an epidemic of white people saying, all right, well look, if you're going to vilify me and steal our stuff, and there's no accountability except for me being the evil villain, and I'm taught that in school, guess what?
	They're going to resent people of other races.
	This is what worries me.
	You can't browbeat a kid.
	You can't browbeat a generation of young, white, straight males, particularly, for stuff they didn't do.
	Stuff that existed generations ago that we all agree is horrible.
	Slavery, of course.
	Glad we had the Civil War.
	Understand it.
	But you can't browbeat a kid and say, I'm stealing your stuff.
	Why?
	Because you're white.
	Okay.
	I'm beating you up.
	Why?
	Because you're white.
	I'm shooting up your mouth.
	Why?
	Because you're white.
	Until he goes, oh, it's a race thing.
	Yeah.
	And then you end up with a race war.
	Stop it.
	Turn it back.
	Turn it back, guys.
	I'm hoping it's not too late.
	I said this in 2015.
	But here we are.
	I didn't know that it would turn on so quickly.
	So the Austin American Statesman, they also refused to provide a description to avoid
	perpetuating stereotypes, they said, which by the way is in and of itself kind of racist.
	Yeah.
	A little bit.
	You're assuming stuff.
	Well, yeah.
	Yeah.
	Especially when you understand they released the mugshot.
	Here you go.
	Yep.
	Oh, so it's a lead singer of Counting Crows?
	Yes.
	He's white, though.
	And by the way, hit the notification bell if you're subscribed, because subscriptions don't mean a whole lot right now.
	Since we are live a little bit later, it looks like there's going to be individual press conferences from Biden and Putin.
	So if that comes up, we'll cover it here live.
	Also, just wanted to let you know, Austin was saying that CNN was saying they had two sessions, and most people were expecting for the summit to go about five hours.
	Yeah.
	But the White House said that it was only one session and the meeting only went about two and a half hours.
	Yeah, well then he shit himself.
	He needs stamina for that.
	Here's the thing, also keep in mind, if I'm not mistaken, former Vice President Joe Biden cleared the day yesterday.
	After, you know, he mispronounced, I believe it was Libya and Syria, he confused it two, three times, right?
	He had a really, really rough Monday.
	He cleared the deck yesterday to recoup.
	I think it's pretty clear at this point, look, no one can obviously medically diagnose the former vice president and say dementia, Alzheimer's, and I think it's irresponsible for people to say that definitively.
	But I think we can all, at the very least, say, low energy!
	He's maybe not at the top of his game right now.
	I wanted to really quickly go back to what you just said.
	He's not at the top of women's doubles.
	You said that it creates this backlash in kind of the white community.
	We're made, I guess, the perpetrator of all things wrong, right?
	Right.
	It does the opposite on the other side.
	It actually encourages black people to think the only reason that you're being held down right now in society is because of systemic racism because of white people.
	So it puts this group As the victim all the time, white people now are being victimized by crime and get backlash, and it tells this group it's okay to do it.
	You're telling both sides to go fight each other.
	That's all you're doing.
	Fake victim culture creates real victims.
	That's the issue.
	100%.
	The problem with all of it, too, is you are saying the color, except for the one group, and you are hiding the stuff that's, oh, it's a stereotype if we say that it's him.
	Yeah, those type of shootings, in particular, aren't usually a black guy.
	That's why they didn't say his name, because you would automatically think it was a white guy.
	Right.
	Well, actually, statistically, mass shootings are four or more, and most of them are gang shootings.
	I realize that that statistic is very much so, but when you think of somebody who, like, shoots up an office, you're not thinking black guy.
	That's just the reality.
	It's true, and they're very, very few and far between as far as gun crime statistics.
	This is something that we need to talk about.
	And by the way, common argument for what people have been presenting why the police didn't identify the suspect was because he's a minor.
	Oh, how fast before we knew Kyle Rittenhouse's name?
	And how long before we knew that he shot a serial convicted pedophile?
	I'm sorry, 17's a minor?
	Dave's got some sorry's.
	Not to Hunter.
	No, no, of course not.
	By the way, what's your answer?
	More like, no cutoff is a minor.
	It's all fair game.
	Former VP, you know.
	I have to return some videotapes.
	Don't do that.
	What's the stereotype you were trying to avoid because he was a minor?
	Because they said first it was a stereotype that they wanted to reinforce.
	Young rapscallions?
	I'm just curious.
	Have you seen Menace to Society?
	It's always the young people.
	And by the way, Odog was 17 though.
	And this is the issue too when we're talking about fake victim culture creating real victims.
	This really does go from, it happens from the top down.
	So let's take up Austin Mayor, for example.
	Let's take our tops down.
	Who by the way, by the way, was talking to Joe Rogan.
	Yeah.
	I remember not long ago and saying he needed to figure out how to address the homeless problem.
	So he asked cities like San Francisco and Seattle.
	What?
	Trying to create more?
	What?
	I wanted to learn how to not get AIDS, so I resuscitated the corpse of Freddie Mercury.
	San Francisco and Seattle?
	Hold on.
	I know that you couldn't be mayor of a major city.
	I think we all know Freddie Mercury was a blood transfusion.
	Yes.
	He sat in the wrong toilet seat.
	Gotta put down those papers.
	And by sat in the wrong toilet seat, I mean it was George Michael sitting in a toilet seat.
	The mayor of Austin and this MSNBC interviewer, Stephanie Ruhle, Blamed Texas gun laws for the lack of police presence over there in Austin.
	Wait, there's another clip before this, isn't there?
	What's the next clip?
	Clip four?
	All right, let's roll this clip four.
	We have seen mass shootings across the country, but really across the state of Texas.
	And now there are barely any gun control laws in your city, in your state.
	Are your police now changing the way they respond?
	Do they need to?
	You know, what our state legislature, what our state just did with respect to allowing anyone to carry a firearm without registration is just absolutely outrageous.
	One thing's clear, greater access to firearms doesn't equal greater safety.
	Police certainly don't want this.
	More guns on the streets make it harder for the police to do their job, and Washington isn't helping.
	Right.
	Keep in mind that one of the shooters was 17.
	He couldn't legally own a firearm.
	Yeah, really, the gun laws actually help that.
	Right.
	I love how she's like, you have barely any gun laws.
	I'm like, what are you talking about?
	Yeah, she doesn't know anything about Texas, but she doesn't know anything about a whole lot.
	Yeah.
	So, no, this is an issue where, again, it could not be less relevant if someone owned a firearm illegally.
	And the message that they want to put out there is, so cops right now are really afraid to do their job.
	They're nervous.
	They're apprehensive.
	Because there are more law-abiding concealed carry permits.
	Your floor.
	What?
	Hold on a second.
	Does anyone really believe this?
	This is why I don't often talk about MSNBC.
	You can comment.
	Do you know anybody who actually believes that police feel hamstrung because more law-abiding citizens carry firearms?
	Who, by the way, people who have firearm permits are less likely to commit any crime than even police officers.
	And I know you'll say, well now, but anyone can carry.
	Well, again, Carrying a firearm does come with stipulations.
	You can't drink as much.
	There are certain areas where you cannot be.
	You obviously can't have committed violent crimes or felonies.
	This is something where you're not going to take that risk because there's a harsher penalty if you are not allowed to carry that firearm.
	But that's the reason the cops can't do their job right now.
	Well, Stephen, we need more, you know, strict gun laws, you know, like, I don't know, let me think, Chicago.
	Because then maybe our shootings will go down.
	Right.
	Because they have really strict gun laws and nothing goes wrong there.
	They never bring those up.
	No, New Jersey's the number one state to live.
	That's what I heard.
	The south side of Chicago, almost no guns.
	Almost none.
	Everything that guy just said is bullshit.
	And by the way, MSNBC totally contradicted themselves later when people are no longer paying attention.
	And something, something minor.
	Here you go.
	Doug Cantor died and was killed this weekend in Austin because two people had guns they shouldn't have had.
	Yes!
	That's our whole point!
	Yes!
	Correct.
	They didn't go, they didn't go purchase it at a gun show.
	Right.
	Next to the Bass Pro.
	That guy sounded like Jeffrey Toobin at a meeting.
	Well, the soft sound of tapping played in the background.
	All right, so look, again, this is just one of those things where this crime is absolutely unreal.
	Right now, we're going to get to Putin in a second.
	But first, actually, we have a new sponsor.
	Really excited about this.
	What?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, Built Bar.
	Nice.
	And I'll explain this.
	Now, first, let me be really clear.
	I'm not really a big supplement guy, and I cannot make any claims.
	Of course, you can't make any claims.
	Right.
	And I wouldn't have Built Bar.
	Look, eating a protein bar is not going to make you is not going to make you superhuman.
	You think you're going to be the Hulk?
	That being said, Quarterback Garrett remembers when I broke my femur.
	Yeah, it was horrible.
	I stabbed my knee.
	Yeah.
	And I can't make any claims, but I did afterward eat a bill part. I think it I think it might have helped
	I guess we'll use one of the first takes it's.
	Draw your own conclusions.
	I make no claims.
	I leave that to you, the people!
	So, uh, look, this is actually something, the reason I've been eating Bilt Bars for a while, people say, I'm not big on supplements, it's just a dessert replacement.
	It's great, I had one today.
	They're unbelievable, like their salted caramel, it just tastes like a box of chocolates.
	Yeah.
	And their double chocolate just tastes, I don't know if I'm allowed to say it, it just tastes like a Three Musketeers.
	So, I don't...
	You don't need to eat protein bars, you don't need to eat supplements, but if you're just trying to cut back on some sweets, this is the only thing that I've had that even comes close to actually replacing a candy bar.
	And it's high in protein, has fiber in there, low in carbs.
	If you use the promo code CROWDER15 at BuiltBar.com, you get 15% off.
	CROWDER15.
	So, you don't need them, but it tastes delicious.
	And I eat them.
	That rhymed.
	They really are good.
	Yeah.
	You gave me one yesterday and I really enjoyed it.
	By the way, you don't need a discount if you just steal them at a Walgreens.
	Ah, yes.
	That's true.
	Also free at Walgreens.
	Five-finger discount.
	Why the $9.50, by the way?
	What was the secret to that number?
	To what?
	950.
	It's like, god, $950.
	That's the line.
	I don't know.
	What is 949?
	I have no idea.
	You could take 100 of them, right?
	Yeah.
	Putin right now is total power move.
	Just so people know.
	Total power move.
	He's just making people wait.
	Oh yeah.
	By the way, do you want to have a joint press conference?
	No.
	No.
	He probably said yes and he's standing him up like never been kissed.
	Oh, right?
	Just Biden showing up by himself waiting for a limo and he's throwing eggs.
	Hey VP!
	Standing on the 18th green getting his pants wet from the sprinklers.
	TP is motorcade.
	It's a ninth hole at midnight.
	It's a secret of us KGB.
	Yeah.
	All right.
	So look, this is one thing I want to talk about too right now.
	Before I get to anything, do you want to know how you know California is a really crappy state?
	They've had to bail out weed.
	Yeah.
	Big weed got a bailout?
	Think about it.
	It gets you high, right?
	It's cool to people.
	It's now legal.
	It's habit-forming.
	It practically sells itself.
	It's incredibly profitable, too, from what I've heard.
	Doesn't matter.
	Doesn't matter.
	So before I get to that, today is Tupac's birthday.
	Like his death birthday.
	Oh.
	Yeah, birthday.
	And to celebrate, here's Vice President McCalla.
	Who cares?
	Kamala Harris reflecting on her days of listening to Tupac and doing drugs.
	Oh, now I remember this clip.
	I think it was she talks about before Tupac could have been a thing and this is before by the way she purposefully
	imprisoned Nonviolent drug offenders. What does Kamala Harris listen
	to? What were you listening to when you was high?
	Uh...
	What was on?
	What song was it?
	Oh my goodness.
	Let me be fake for a second.
	Oh yeah, definitely Snoop.
	Uh-huh.
	Tupac, for sure.
	What are you listening to now?
	What's your favorite hip-hop artist now?
	What's your favorite artist now?
	You know who I really love?
	It's Cardi B. Is that Charlamagne Tha God show?
	I don't call him that.
	Yes, Charlamagne.
	Charlamagne?
	Yes, Charlamagne.
	I call him shitbag.
	Well, that's... I mean... No, he's like, Charlamagne Tha God, self-declared?
	Really?
	Lowercase g, right?
	I'm probably not gonna!
	I believe it's T-H-A.
	T-H-A the god?
	Yeah.
	Oh.
	And by the way, it's not even usually when you change the spelling, it's to either make it shorter to say, or easier to write.
	You just changed it to another vowel!
	What about Wu-Tang?
	What about Wu-Tang?
	Well, do you go with all their names?
	Well, no, I just say Wu-Tang.
	All right, hold on a second.
	We have President Putin.
	It looks like he's about to do a PowerPoint right now.
	Where's his signer?
	You think I bring androgynous trends to sign for me?
	People don't need signs.
	You look in my eyes.
	He's in a stall in the men's room with a neck taped with piano wire.
	Alright, let's see, do they have a translator?
	The Arctic and so on and so forth.
	Your questions please.
	That was his view.
	Let's let social know that we're live streaming this right now.
	We'll go back to... Good evening.
	Perhaps you could tell us which topics you discussed in greater detail, particularly the Ukrainian issue.
	Did you talk about the Donbass?
	Did you talk about the accession of Ukraine to NATO?
	And what about the expected return of the two ambassadors to their posts?
	What decisions were made and what kind of focus did you have?
	Let's talk that if your address is any more low-cut, you find yourself in cell next to Pussy Riot, right?
	Shut it!
	Oh, here's an idea.
	I kill you.
	The two ambassadors we agreed should return to their posts and take up their functions.
	It's a purely technical question as to exactly when that will happen, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow or whatever.
	whatever, and the consultations will begin on a whole raft of diplomatic issues.
	As has already been said, a great deal has accumulated over time, and we believe that
	the American side is determined to look at solutions.
	As far as Ukraine is concerned, we certainly did touch upon it.
	I can't say in a very detailed way, but President Biden agrees that at the basis of any kind of solution to the problems in Ukraine lie the Minsk agreements.
	As far as Do you notice that Putin always looks bored to be there?
	I don't think there's anything to discuss there.
	So by the way, Lily just sent that there's a teleprompter.
	Oh, really?
	Yeah.
	Is that for Putin?
	Or is that for Biden?
	Do we know if Putin's on teleprompter?
	No, but apparently he did bring a press secretary and Biden brought... Nobody.
	Don't bring a press secretary to a Ruski fight!
	What?
	Huh?
	Zip guns?
	You don't bring a chain to a pool party.
	What?
	Will Russia and the US resume negotiations on the whole question of strategic security and disarmament, and particularly with regard to START III?
	Are you going to have discussions as to further prolongation or extension of the talks?
	I'm not sure.
	The US and the Russian Federation have a particular responsibility for strategic stability in the world.
	Inasmuch as we are the two biggest nuclear powers in terms of the quantity of warheads and nuclear weapons, and also in terms of the quality of modern nuclear weaponry, we realize that I think it's absolutely obvious.
	It is flexed on quantity and technological capability.
	By the way, I'm pretty sure half of that is a lie.
	Yes, you have a responsibility to prolong the START III negotiations for five years.
	He coughed into his hand and Borderline smeared it on the mic.
	Take it!
	It is honor.
	I give it to you.
	You take it or I give it to you.
	You like it.
	You like women?
	Take it.
	It is an honour.
	I give it to you. You take it or I give it to you. You like it.
	You like women? You like knives?
	Delegates on the mission are going to talk about the further details of that in due course.
	Do you notice, too, how the reporters there, it's not like the gaggle that you saw at... Well, really, they only did it with President Donald Trump, but those reporters are terrified.
	First of all, could you characterize the dynamic between yourself and President Biden?
	Was it hostile or was it friendly?
	And secondly, throughout these conversations, did you commit to ceasing carrying out cyber attacks on the United States?
	Did you commit to stopping threatening Ukraine's security?
	And did you commit to stop cracking down on the opposition in Russia?
	What will happen to you will make Clinton's body count look like child's play.
	I'm so sad to hear about your suicide tomorrow, sir.
	I'm going to paint my bedroom with your brains.
	As far as that is concerned, I don't think there was any kind of hostility.
	On the contrary, our meeting was obviously a fundamental one.
	Many of our joint positions are divergent, but nevertheless, I think that both sides
	manifested determination to try and understand each other and try and converge our positions.
	I think it was very constructive.
	As far as cyber security is concerned, we agreed that we would begin consultations on that issue.
	I believe that's extraordinarily important.
	And obviously both sides have to assume certain obligations there.
	I'd like to inform you that I think it's common knowledge, perhaps not to the public at large, but the American administration, I don't want to actually say which body it is, but American sources say that the majority of cyber attacks in the world are in fact
	That right there was a challenge.
	on the cyberspace in the US.
	And then the second place is Canada, and the third is UK.
	That right there was a challenge.
	On that list of countries.
	That right there was a challenge.
	Either what he just said was true, or it needs to be refuted by a president with balls.
	When he just said, I won't say which body, but maybe public In other words, this is not public information, and it can't be verified because it's likely not true.
	But most cyber terrorism is from US of A.
	Your ball.
	Yeah.
	Now if I were Joe, if it were Donald Trump right now, he'd be changing, good thing is he wasn't on prompter, he'd be
	changing his speech.
	Yeah.
	As we speak.
	If nothing else, does anyone want to argue with the fact that Donald Trump took things too personally at a challenge like that?
	That's why Putin was very complimentary of Donald Trump, because he understood that it just doesn't pay to piss him off.
	Well, it's all part of negotiations.
	Like, Putin basically walked out and said, I gave him card to geek squad, said call for help.
	Yes.
	When asked about cyber security, I was like, what do you guys think you talked about?
	Nothing.
	You're not going to do anything.
	Then I gave him, how you say in America, um, swirly.
	He said he prefers noogies, but I gave him swirlies.
	And for Father's Day, Colombian necktie.
	Yes.
	Yes.
	What?
	Huh.
	Racist tradition.
	No.
	All right, let's hear what he has to say.
	That was a challenge right there.
	And it'll be interesting to see if former Vice President Joe Biden steps up to it.
	In general, and in particular for the US and to the same extent for Russia.
	For example, we know about cyber attacks on the pipeline company in the US.
	And we know that the company had to pay out 5 million I got half.
	Can I say one thing really quickly too?
	Do you know why this administration is in such a position of weakness with Russia when we're talking about cyber attacks?
	Because they tried to make it the witch hunt for so long, this administration needs to prove that boogeyman true, right?
	In other words, they need to make Russia out to be these cyber hacking geniuses That they attempted to for four years in order to try and undermine the Trump presidency.
	Again, keep in mind, no association at all with Donald Trump, right?
	So, right now, Russia, what Putin just needs to do is say, look, they've made many accusations, non-stop hearings, investigations, I am saying pipeline, USA hackers, you say Russian hack, prove it!
	Oh, that's right, you can't!
	That's what's happening right now.
	He's holding some cards that he didn't hold against Donald Trump.
	Well, and Biden's approaching him from the stance of, we want to be friends with the world again.
	And it doesn't matter if it's in our best interest or not.
	And so all of the world is saying, oh, OK, so you're reversing the policy.
	At the worst, you should have just gone, Donald Trump said a few things that I didn't like, but we're going to continue to be tough on people that do things wrong in the international community.
	It's so disingenuous.
	We want to be friends with the nation who we accuse of cyber hacking and destroying our democracy and rigging our elections.
	We want to be friends with that country, Russia.
	Right?
	Water under the bridge.
	There's no way to be strong in that position.
	There is zero chance.
	You don't know where they line up.
	Keep in mind, remember Barack Obama when he was debating Mitt Romney said the 1980s called, they want their Russian policy back.
	Then Russia decided, you know what, Crimea, okay, that sounds like fun.
	Ukraine, great!
	ISIS, let's create it!
	They did all this under Barack Obama's watch.
	Then all of a sudden, because they needed a boogeyman to try and say Donald Trump was, remember, they questioned the legitimacy of the election in 2016.
	People don't remember that.
	Amy Klobuchar, Elizabeth Warren, they had commissions, Jimmy Carter, you can go through all of it.
	And they blamed it on Russia.
	Made a lot of accusations, and we know that quite a few of them were false.
	Now, I'm not saying that there weren't Russian hackers.
	Of course not.
	But what I am saying is now Putin has the cards to say, well, this is what we can prove as far as American hackers.
	You prove what you say.
	Again, it's someone who talks a lot, former Vice President Joe Biden.
	Who's insulting, who's confrontational, but from a position of weakness substantively.
	That's the worst posturing you can take as a world leader.
	Be silent and strong, or talk a bunch of shit and be strong.
	The only option that is unacceptable is to talk a bunch of crap like calling someone a killer and accusing them of hijacking your elections and then saying, but maybe we can like be friends.
	You can't do it.
	No.
	And this man does?
	You think a former KGB officer is going to respect that?
	No, you know the reason he looks bored?
	Because in his downtime he's feeding dissidents to bears, Steven.
	Like, this guy is killing people and imprisoning people who disagree with him.
	He's like, I gotta give a press conference and answer questions?
	This isn't normal.
	Maybe not known to American public, but of course in Russia you make rock band, we send you to bear jail.
	Bear jails?
	Where's the shark jail?
	Follow up, yes.
	Trent with the baby says, what is, perhaps, bear jail?
	Interesting you should ask.
	We take people, you know, hooligans, punk rockers, and we put them in room with bears.
	If they can fight off bear, they get to go free.
	There are few, but most time we just add more bears.
	Eventually, it's a volume game.
	You understand?
	Pump up the volume, Christian Slate.
	If you can make it past 949 bears, it's not a crime!
	Jeez, come on.
	Many bears.
	Alright, let's hear what he has to say, then we'll continue on.
	Honestly, he just flexed on nukes, and he just flexed on saying, actually, I know you are, but what am I?
	I am rubber, you are glue.
	Saying, no, you guys are the cyber-threats.
	You guys are the cyber-terrorists.
	That's not good.
	That's not good.
	And unless Biden comes out forcefully, and I know people say Donald Trump was too... Yeah, but Donald Trump didn't have to come out forcefully because Putin didn't accuse Donald Trump's administration of spying on Russia.
	You know, you should look at what the US is doing, not Russia.
	As far as our non-systematic or non-standard opposition is concerned, and the gentleman you quoted, first of all, this man knew that he was Breaking the law of Russia.
	Is that what they're talking about?
	I assume, sorry.
	He is somebody who has been twice convicted and he consciously ignored the requirements of the law.
	The gentleman in question went abroad for treatment.
	His registration was not asked for.
	As soon as he got to the hospital, he showed his videos on the Internet.
	But he ignored the demands of the law.
	And knowing about that, he came back to Russia.
	And so I take the view that he wanted consciously to break the law.
	He did exactly what he wanted to do.
	So what kind of discussion are we having?
	What can we talk about there?
	As far as the unofficial opposition is concerned, I'd just like to say the following.
	I think that people in Russia understand the five-figure discount for $949.
	Not saying he's right in this situation, but there is a mindset of, he knew there was law, he broke it knowing there was law, and so now we enforce law.
	Yes, his fingers are now my necklace.
	These are not poker shells.
	These were shrunken fingers, like little head.
	Yes.
	But fingers on my... yes.
	I wear on vacation.
	I come back with beads in my hair.
	Yes.
	Cultural appropriation.
	Bernie knows.
	He bought two.
	Yes.
	Hey, isn't it ironic that your senator, who run for president, honeymoon here in Russia, and now Russia is honeymooning your president, huh?
	Huh?
	You can't get away from it!
	All right, look, we don't need to go.
	They can let us know what happens.
	Do we want to continue with the weed segment, or should we go to Charles Barkley?
	Because the show is now running late.
	Do Barkley, because I don't want to skip through weed.
	You've got a pretty good bar.
	Yeah, all right.
	I'll go through weed.
	Look, long story short, California's banning weed, and the arguments that you guys... Sorry, not banning.
	They're bailing out weed, but all of these states are banning CBD, Delta TH, Delta H, So look, it's big business, just admit it, and the drug cartels are making more than ever to the point that California has to bail out weed.
	So the idea that if you legalize all drugs, you'll end the drug war, not true.
	And the idea that, well, you know what, no one should go to prison or be arrested or
	be a criminal for smoking a joint, well, I agree with you.
	But now in states like Colorado, you're a criminal if you smoke a Delta THC-8 joint.
	So look, it's big business.
	Just admit it.
	And the drug cartels are making more than ever to the point that California has to bail
	out weed.
	But we'll talk about that more tomorrow, because Charles Barkley is a lot of fun.
	He has some really good points lately.
	Yes, he does.
	Oh, and by the way, if you're watching this right now, hit the share button.
	Sharing is caring.
	I'm trying to remember here.
	Where do we talk about... I guess, well, UNO.
	This is something that we should probably talk about.
	Oh yeah, we don't need to skip that.
	Yeah, when you share that, by the way, you can just hit Twitter or Facebook.
	UNO is having a... everyone's getting on the pride.
	Because people are feeling proud.
	Very proud.
	Sure.
	There are a lot of reasons to be proud.
	Of stuff.
	To be in America.
	Yes.
	Freedom?
	No.
	Corporations.
	People who died for it?
	No.
	President?
	No.
	Veterans?
	You get a day.
	Do you wear a leather choker and have sex with men on floats at Folsom?
	Yep.
	Then you get a day.
	You get a month.
	You get a month and to appropriate the rainbow.
	Someone tell Pot of Gold because their chocolates won't like it.
	Is that a Canadian thing, pot of gold chocolates?
	We had Keebler elves.
	I think so.
	Oh, okay.
	It was a leprechaun.
	Behold the pot of gold!
	No?
	Canadians out there, let me know.
	Pot of gold was our thing.
	You guys have Russell Stover.
	Well, we also had three leprechauns.
	Oh, we did.
	We didn't leave with Keebler.
	We had Lucky Charms as well.
	And then, yeah, he was solo.
	He was solo.
	He was a solo elf.
	Did Skittles change Taste the Rainbow?
	Taste the Rainbow.
	So now there's Pride Uno, because everything has to be sexualized.
	And that being said, I would say don't knock until you try it, because we got a deck.
	It was a good time.
	Did I hear all that right?
	Oh, skip your turn.
	and stay safe.
	Skip your turn.
	Suck your d***.
	Alright, skip your turn.
	Suck your d***.
	And switch to rainbow.
	So what are you, more of a bridge guy?
	I don't know what the crossover age is to when you become a bridge person.
	Okay, look, Dave, wake up.
	I don't care if you got bored about Putin here.
	Wake up.
	He's not paid by the hour here.
	I don't know what the age crossover is for bridge.
	I think it's the same as Walmart greeter.
	It has to be.
	Yeah, it's got to be old people.
	When do you wake up one day and just go, I was wrong about Bridge all these years.
	That seems to be what happens.
	It seems there's a crossover where if you're above 80 and you know the intricacies of Bridge, I wouldn't even know what kind of a deck do you need for Bridge.
	Well, I think when you don't have a bridge, you just drop your grandparents off at the casino so they can get rid of the last pennies they have.
	Yes!
	That they're not spending on medications.
	I guess we'll just play bridge now.
	My Nana would play bridge, but she hated old people.
	It was always funny.
	She'd just talk about how they're gross, all they do is complain.
	Yes, Biden does.
	Allegedly.
	One of them, my grandfather, who by the way, was mayor of Bloomfield Township, was a bombardier
	in World War II, a professor, built two homes with his bare hands, which I'm sure we could
	like learn to do with a kid house, but I'm going to the second floor.
	He got dementia when he got older.
	I don't know if it was dementia or Alzheimer's.
	Can you have a combo of both?
	Because they would use the term sort of interchangeably.
	Yes, Biden does.
	Okay.
	Allegedly.
	Allegedly.
	He would go purportedly.
	He would go to a local casino and use the slot, the penny slots.
	and I swear to you, four times in a row.
	First penny.
	He got like 50 bucks or 100 bucks.
	To the point where, in his demented old mind, he just thought it was the hundred dollar machine.
	I put a penny in and then I get more!
	And that's what happened.
	And then one time he didn't get what he wanted so he started throwing his change at the casino lady.
	No!
	No!
	It's supposed to give me 50s!
	Oh jeez.
	I can't wait.
	It's gonna be good.
	Well look, you transition to whatever game you can win.
	The game includes doing some of the things that were muted or bleeped there.
	Yeah.
	I will play bridge as opposed to gay uno.
	Can I say one more thing?
	No you won't.
	My father-in-law, you met my father-in-law.
	By the way, father, he is hysterical, he has one of the driest sense of humors, and he has the super low baritone voice.
	And they used to go to the casino, it was like every Thursday and every Tuesday and Thursday, right?
	Because at this point it was like seniors go free penny slots, whatever.
	So at that point, you know, my grandma, she's 97 now, she would take him there and he would have fun.
	And then that one time when he freaks out, my father-in-law and I are there, and he goes, and he goes, no, oh, it's not the 100, I'm never coming here again!
	My father-in-law just says, wanna bet?
	I don't know.
	We just lost it.
	We're very old, people.
	Wanna bet.
	Alright, so Charles Barkley is now being cancelled before we go to a Mug Club.
	We'll be taking your chats, by the way, at LighthouseCutter.com slash Mug Club and talking about Joe Lewis here, Dago Argentino.
	A story yesterday where I feared for my life.
	Charles Barkley is being cancelled for... Did you know about this because you're a sports guy?
	His running gag of...
	Big ol' women from San Antonio.
	I don't watch a whole lot of Charles Barkley, but I've heard of that.
	I've seen his golf swing, too, and that's a sight to behold.
	Is it not good?
	Uh, we can probably pull that one.
	Him and Brad Garrett were playing together.
	Brad's also a horrible, horrible golfer, and Titleist called and said they would give him $10,000 to their charity to take off their butts.
	And it's not just that Charles... I think it was Charles Barkley, I'm 99% sure.
	It's not just he was bad at the time.
	His golf swing looked like the person who was swinging the club had never played a sport in his life.
	Right.
	And you're talking about one of the best basketball players in history!
	I'm sure he's probably self-deprecating about it, though.
	Oh yeah, no, he's got a good sense of humor about it.
	We might actually have it in a few seconds.
	Oh, do we have the golf swing?
	Yeah, he's to the world.
	Did you say we have it now?
	Yeah.
	Alright, let's bring it up.
	Charles Barkley's golf...
	It's worse than that.
	The follow through there.
	Go in the hole, you knucklehead.
	Even though at the end of every golf swing, even if it's on TV, it's him swearing.
	It's part of his golf swing.
	There's always pauses and stops and stuff.
	Oh, do you have another one?
	Alright, let me see the other one.
	When he hits it on the range.
	He's going to have to rip at the carry.
	You know, I guarantee you I probably couldn't do better.
	Alright, we understand that his golf swing is subpar, Gerald.
	It's not that.
	I'm going to actually tell you, you are a better golfer than Charles Barkley.
	Yes.
	I have no, I don't know.
	Just gonna guess.
	When you pause halfway through your swing and do like that and then...
	And then gets shocked that he didn't hit a great shot.
	It's like, alright, bend your knees a little bit and make sure to keep your feet and head down to swing through.
	He's like, so none of that?
	Those are what not to do.
	This is a pro Charles Barkley segment, guys.
	I love Charles Barkley.
	I mean this out of love.
	I love Brad Garrett.
	Watching them play golf together is one of my favorite things to do.
	Then Alice Cooper comes in and smokes them all.
	It's not even close.
	People have been trying to cancel him from making fun of the big women from San Antonio.
	It's one of the longest running jokes in sports.
	He has a thing with the Spurs, with San Antonio.
	So anyway, there was an article written by a lady named Madeline Mendoza who wrote, Barkley's thatched shaming stick has been going on for years.
	Yes.
	His studio banter has involved bashing an entire city of women.
	Mostly to get a reaction out of them.
	That's hilarious.
	Like you!
	Barkley will use any opportunity to disparage local ladies.
	That's not true.
	Only if the ladies are local to San Antonio.
	Here is his response, I love, to the cancel mob when asked.
	This is why you don't apologize.
	If you crack a joke the wrong way, they're like, oh, no, no, no, no, you crossed the line.
	I mean, they won't even let me talk about San Antonio anymore.
	You know what?
	I'm always talking about them big old women down in San Antonio.
	They're like, Charles, we got one lady wrote an article.
	I'm like, First of all, I didn't call anybody personally fat in San Antonio.
	I was just joking around.
	And well, this one lady wrote this article.
	I'm like, so y'all gonna let one lady.
	We've been having fun with this for probably 10, 15 years.
	And when we go to San Antonio, the people are having a blast with it.
	I mean, the people in San Antonio, they had t-shirts made up.
	Now, I don't have to go back there anymore because their team sucks.
	I'm trying to hang on for another couple years until I'm 60, and then they can kiss my ass.
	Just for context, here's a short compilation, very short, because you can watch them that are like 50 minutes long, of his ongoing joke with the women from San Antonio.
	They're out of the gates 8 and 1.
	Time for Never Stop, Never Settle presented by Hennessy.
	More big ol' women down in San Antonio.
	I bet you couldn't do that to them big ass women in San Antonio.
	Why do you like San Antonio?
	Oh man, I look skinny down there.
	Compared to who?
	All them big ol' women down there.
	What they got in San Antonio, Chuck?
	Big ol' women.
	The American Express Halftime Report.
	Big ol' women down there.
	They wear big ol' bloomers down there.
	They're not wearing no... In the event that San Antonio goes... Ain't nothing skimpy down in San Antonio, Chuck.
	National treasure.
	Really?
	People are going to take this offensively?
	The white guy with the bowtie was fired immediately.
	Yes!
	American Express is like, stop saying her name, stop saying her name.
	And by the way, he's not even, I understand why maybe some women might be upset because the truth is, it's Houston.
	Houston have the, they have the, they are portly.
	Different.
	But it's a reoccurring trash talk in sports.
	That's all it is.
	Right.
	Of course.
	Absolutely.
	That's how it goes.
	And this is why women shouldn't sound off, shouldn't give their opinion on men's sports.
	If you don't like it, go watch the WNBA.
	But you don't.
	And have you been to San Antonio?
	They're disgusting.
	I'm kidding.
	Actually, San Antonio would tend to be more fit, but Houston is... Houston is gross.
	A lot of big women in Texas are beautiful.
	Yeah, well, they can be both.
	Some aren't.
	My God.
	Charles, but I... He's always been funny.
	He's always been funny.
	Always, yes.
	Here's my... Okay, to people watching.
	So I have a question about this.
	First off, I'm not going to ask you one of those, you know, like...
	I'm not going to ask you if you think that women in San Antonio are fat, because the answer is yes.
	But I want to ask you, to specifically women, women out there, we have a lot of women who watch the show, who are overweight.
	If you happen to be from San Antonio, so much the better, I want you to let me know, comment below, if you were offended as a fat woman.
	You may be beautiful.
	But?
	But you probably die.
	By the way, Charles Barkley's also the guy that running down the court is yelling at the ref, I know he's Michael Jordan, I know, but he does commit fouls.
	He's got a sense of humor about these things.
	He's also had a weight problem himself.
	He was huge, he goes, they make me look thin.
	That was basically him saying I'm really big.
	Self-deprecation.
	He's always been that perfect line, too, where he never seems to step over it until now when they claim that he is.
	But he always had that right amount of trash talking where you could keep a camera on.
	No, the line moved.
	Charles Barkley hasn't changed his line.
	That's what I mean completely.
	The line moved because they had to fit all the women from San Antonio.
	They had to make the court smaller to get them to watch.
	Crying out loud.
	They just moved one cankle forward.
	They're guilty of icing.
	Hockey.
	I don't know the basketball rules.
	But I understand why some people can be offended, so actually it's time for us to give recognition to our honorary San Antonio resident of the month.
	This is the public service announcement.
	Big Girl Summer has officially begun.
	And big girls, we have abs.
	Look at that.
	Look at that.
	I know you see it.
	Babs, honey.
	Stay sick.
	Stay mad, ho.
	Where my big girls at?
	Is that?
	Is that?
	At what point does it begin?
	What point is it again with the YouTube guidelines?
	Is it an immutable characteristic versus you just turned the volume up?
	I just lost all hope.
	I mean, metric volume.
	Well, look, if Big Girl Summer started, I'll just be inside.
	Yeah.
	I'll stay inside.
	Sounds like old Davey's gonna be going to the pool.
	I'll just AC, sounds great.
	I like me morbid.
	I just, uh, look, look, and you know, look.
	Watch it!
	Who makes a bikini like that?
	I don't know, man.
	Even to manufacture it, you're like, big and tall.
	What do you think?
	You think this is gross?
	Big enough?
	No.
	I think the only way you get those off the shelf is when there's a war effort and parachute makers.
	Yeah, that's true.
	Why?
	It's like you killed a damn cheetah!
	Look, I don't know.
	It's just an unfortunate Okay, so here's the thing.
	Can you imagine the smell?
	Yeah, my aunt, who's a nurse, she is a nurse, and the bigger women, they come in with yeast infections.
	Yeah, they get yeast under the fold.
	Yeah, under the fold.
	They got themselves some muffins.
	They could do some baking over there.
	I just, I didn't expect to, I seriously, I threw up in my mouth a little.
	And that's not, here's the point, it's not an immutable characteristic.
	This is the issue right now with when you're talking about fat pride.
	And I don't know the lady who wrote the article against Charles Barkley, but I'll make a bet.
	It's a safe bet.
	At the very least, she's not happy with herself for similar reasons.
	I bet you there's a lot of backspacing from palming the keypad.
	Just for them big ol' fingers.
	So many letters.
	I accidentally hit four again.
	She set her emergency code on her phone for 911 to just mash.
	It's just like, first off, I just, I mean, I just, it's just, you should be allowed to
	make fun of people in San Antonio.
	And I should be allowed to make fun of someone who is declaring their own abs to be fab.
	You know how many fat people are in Detroit and the Midwest where I'm from?
	There's fat people everywhere.
	It's America.
	We have lots of them.
	I don't know if you know this.
	We've spread them out.
	Tons of us.
	This is the issue here.
	Everything bad is good.
	Everything perverse is something that everyone needs to tolerate and accept.
	And I'm not getting into anything specific here.
	But okay, you know what?
	Let me get specific.
	$949.
	If you steal it, that's fine.
	It's justice.
	If you prosecute, if you defend your own property, you're wrong.
	I don't know, we'll base it on race.
	Obesity.
	Beautiful.
	Brave.
	They will remove you from certain social media platforms for suggesting the opposite and then accuse you of being anti-science.
	While they then, next election cycle, accuse you of being in the pocket of big pharma As they currently cut advertisements for vaccines that create billions of dollars in revenue for two companies in this country.
	I'm not anti-vaccine at all.
	I'm just pointing out the hypocrisy here.
	When people try and say, Big Pharma, really?
	You just did a commercial for Moderna.
	When people say, you know what, let's not shame people.
	Okay, I'm all for not shaming other people.
	At the same time, I'm all for people having shame.
	That's a good point.
	It's a motivator.
	Now, exactly.
	Shame should be internal, right?
	Corrosive to your own soul, not others.
	That's how it works.
	It's a good thing for you to feel shame.
	Now, you shouldn't be shamed, but you should have shame in behavior that is shameful, most notably when people say, well, that's subjective.
	Okay.
	So let's go with the scientific view here.
	Shameful behavior is something that is objectively, scientifically harmful.
	Would it be appropriate to probably feel shameful if you currently engage in that behavior?
	Let's say heroin addiction.
	Encouraging other people to do heroin.
	I don't know if you're Hunter Parmesan.
	Whatever you care.
	Good breed.
	Whatever it is.
	But the point is, You should feel shameful, not because someone is shaming you, but hopefully your doctor and those in the medical establishment say, actually you're at significantly higher risk for diabetes, stroke, cardio complications, cardiovascular complications.
	And by the way, while we're out here praising fat pride and saying that you can't comment on an immutable characteristic, which I'm not sure how immutable calories in versus calories out is, But while we're saying you can't actually point out immutable characteristics while these people promote said non-immutable characteristics to young children and we have an obesity epidemic, hey, what's the one thing you could change right now in relation to COVID?
	The one thing that you could change that not a single scientist, not a single microbiologist, virologist, immunologist, epidemiologist would disagree with?
	Lose some weight.
	Lose some weight.
	Get your BMI lower.
	You do that, you increase your chances of having fewer COVID complications exponentially.
	There is no refuting it, but objectively we can't say, hey, hey, maybe fat pride isn't so beautiful on a ventilator.
	I don't know.
	All right, look, we have more to talk about that we can't talk about here on the YouTubes.
	Obviously.
	Well, Rumble, if you're there at the Rumble place, you can smash that Rumble button because we are available on Rumble at the same time as YouTube.
	And it's a live show Monday through Thursday.
	Tomorrow, Cultural Appropriation Month.
	Grease!
	I have to shave a sweater vest into my chest.
