	This Week in Feminism.
	A I got a job, and then I didn't show up.
	No, I don't Uh...
	Uh...
	Driverstop.com!
	You're a strange animal, that's what I know. You're a strange animal, I got the ball. I'm in a speeding test.
	Yep, we're still alive.
	I don't need to go under my desk.
	Perfect.
	No nukes.
	Just making sure, because I don't know if you know this, but when there's a nuclear fallout, this solid block of pine, that's all this guy needs.
	And a mask.
	Yes.
	Well, we need an N95 mask.
	Correct.
	Yes.
	An N95 mask because of the uranium particulates.
	That's the primary concern there.
	We're going to be talking about potential World War III, but before that, we'll also be talking about today, look, this doesn't exist in a bubble, Russia and Ukraine.
	I think a lot of people are missing not only how this affects you, but American, how domestic policy here, specifically domestic energy policy, regardless of how you feel about Native Americans or climate justice, how it affects the rest of the world, the rest of the free world and the rest of, by the way, the oppressed third world.
	One of the greatest things the United States can do for people, for example, in places like India or places anywhere, pick anywhere in South America, developing countries, is use our own resources, is access our own energy production.
	Not only that, but it's also pretty important that the United States dollars uses the benchmark, and that could go away soon, and that could affect everybody.
	So before you're eager to go off to war, and this is what we see from the left and the right on the media today, let's ask ourselves right now, it's hard to get the numbers, thousands of people dead in the Ukraine, terrible, your heart goes out to them.
	Do you want that number to be a billion?
	That's the risk reward that we're looking at.
	Not to mention the deaths from skyrocketing energy prices.
	But before I go on to any of that, this is a live show, Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m.
	Eastern.
	If I don't tell you that we are not doing a show, that means we're still doing a show.
	We're just not on YouTube.
	So you can watch it on Rumble.
	Or you can join MugClub.
	LettersCarter.com slash MugClub.
	We'll be doing an additional 45 minutes today discussing vigilantism as it relates to pedophiles.
	Not advocating, exactly.
	Not at all.
	But kind of advocating.
	But not advocating.
	Not advocating.
	Not advocating.
	No, no, no, no.
	That's right.
	We want the pedophiles to be set free with no bail required.
	And we want the pedophile vigilantes to be jailed with no bail allowed.
	So my question to you, first off, how pissed off are you about gas prices?
	Second, if someone molested your child, would you shoot them?
	If you were on the jury, would you find the man guilty who tried to shoot him?
	That's just teaser.
	Questions.
	Just questions.
	I certainly wouldn't dump several gallons or $38 worth of gas on them.
	No, you would not.
	Kerosene is cheaper at this point, I think.
	It is.
	I don't know exactly.
	Yeah.
	Zippo fluid is cheaper.
	Yes, Zippo fluid.
	I think Dave's a little bit low, but first, before I bring in Mr. Landau, we have Gerald A. How are you, sir?
	I'm well.
	How are you, sir?
	I know you're fired up about Iran.
	Oh, well, just a little bit.
	All of the international stuff is, like, really important to me.
	It's kind of in my wheelhouse.
	Yeah.
	I love it when we get back into bed with terrorists for oil when we can just do it ourselves.
	Oh, that's foreshadowing!
	You Steinbeck, you.
	I know.
	And then we have him here.
	You know him.
	You love him.
	You can follow him on Twitter at Landau Dave.
	Dave Landau, how are you, sir?
	Ahoy, and you?
	I'm fine.
	You look like you're a 90s skateboarder.
	I took my hat off, and everybody's like, look at that hat hair.
	And I said, it's magnificent, so I'm rocking it today.
	You look like a 90s bully, like, yeah, punk, you want to go?
	Take it.
	Yeah.
	Straight out of Paperboy.
	Yeah, boy.
	I know, right?
	I bet you're gay.
	You mean Paperboy the Canadian Rapper?
	No, no, I meant the game.
	No, that's Drake, the half-Jew from Westmount who couldn't outrun the school shooter in Degrassi.
	Ooh, he's a tough hooligan, that Drake.
	Old Wheels McCaffrey.
	Yes.
	Very different, everyone else is bragging about their wheels, he's bragging about his actual wheels.
	Well, you only have to buy one pair of cool shoes.
	Right.
	And then as he gets older, he's bragging about his tennis balls.
	Yep.
	Uh, bling bling.
	Before we move on to that, it's also, by the way, International Women's Day, which is thrilling.
	Yeah!
	Yeah?
	Do they celebrate that in Saudi Arabia?
	They beat you harder.
	Yes.
	You drive less.
	But celebrating women, before we move on to that, we do need to celebrate the beautiful and brave women here in the United States.
	I'm not even sure whose side this lady is on exactly, but she seems primarily concerned with two things as she clearly becomes, or displays, I shouldn't say become because she was already certifiable long before this, displays her certifiable insanity.
	Two things, see if you can catch them.
	Mmm.
	You're what?
	Take a guess.
	My pussy matters!
	Your what?
	Have a great time, man!
	Take a guess.
	Black lives matter!
	My pussy matters!
	Again, huh?
	You make no sense. What is wrong with you?
	My dick don't matter, but her fuc- her fucking pussy does!
	She dropped that!
	I love how she dropped it.
	Like the Hobgoblin in Spider-Man 3.
	My pussy matters, Toby.
	She's wrong.
	Nobody wants that at all.
	No, certainly not the Black Lives she's championing.
	No, it doesn't matter at all.
	They'll be like, Black Lives Matter!
	Yeah, mommy!
	No, we don't want that.
	Was that thing in the clearance bin?
	Don't tie them together.
	Don't make us guilty by association with that clam.
	What was she throwing?
	I don't know.
	She must have broken at least $12 worth of merchandise.
	Yeah, exactly.
	She's well under the $999 minimum.
	Easily.
	Well, I thought you could steal it.
	I didn't think you could just smash it.
	Look, I don't understand the technicality, but at that point, once you grab it, it's yours.
	You do whatever you want, make whatever claims you want.
	Yeah, I think that's how it works.
	Was she bowling?
	What were those?
	Were those pumpkin candles?
	That's what I couldn't tell.
	I think they were candles.
	She's offended by candles.
	That's fine.
	She just went to the clearance rack.
	She's like, I want to commit a felony here, but I don't want to vandalize the in-season candles.
	Let's stay away from the St.
	Patrick's Day.
	Let me grab the pumpkin and Valentine's Day candles.
	Well, she was looking for the Gwyneth Paltrow vagina candle to fool somebody she was having over later.
	Yes!
	And it's completely out of style.
	Yeah, she tried to light that candle, wafting like a pie in Yogi Bear.
	She thought all the black guys were like... No, no.
	Not even on the windowsill.
	The fish gotcha!
	Alright, so it is International Women's Day.
	You know this?
	It's International Women's Day.
	It is, yeah.
	Fantastic.
	That's why we led with that.
	Huh.
	Uh, and uh, I don't know if you know this, but in previous years, uh, women have actually, they went on strike.
	I don't know if they're doing that this year.
	They did it last year, the year before that, where they went on strike to show people what a world without women would look like.
	Remember that?
	Remember that last year?
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	And um, shocking turn of events, the Dow Jones was up 500 points, HR complaints were at an all-time low, traffic was smoother than ever before, everyone was using their turn signals.
	Crazy.
	It's amazing.
	So let it never be said that you cannot make a difference, but there were some complications.
	there were some still primary issues where men didn't realize how good they had it.
	Slightly dry.
	We need that lady with the candles.
	Be careful what you ask for.
	Okay?
	You just might get it.
	When's the International Men's Day?
	I'm against all of these days.
	Uh, it's called Gay Pride Month.
	No, no, no, no, no.
	When's Straight Pride Month?
	Yeah, there is no Straight Pride Month.
	That's the problem.
	It's like, women have their women's only gyms, curves.
	If guys do it, it just becomes a bathhouse with Fauci.
	Guys have man tits.
	It's not a bad gym.
	Right.
	But you just don't want to be seen walking in.
	No.
	You also don't want to see them freeing the nipple.
	Ah, yes.
	That's dangerous.
	Daddy jiggles.
	Yeah.
	Free the hairy areola that's swollen from years of xenoestrogens and sodium.
	Ugh, boy.
	A lot of salt.
	Well, International Women's Day.
	I don't know how we celebrate it.
	Oh, no, that's right.
	We don't.
	So.
	I do want to celebrate some men.
	Uh, Cain Velasquez is a UFC fighter.
	Now, I want to be clear, we're going to have to talk about this on Mug Club today, so if you are here on YouTube, I recommend.
	And nothing would make me happier than more of you to go over to Rumble and Mug Club.
	Unfortunately, we have to be here on YouTube.
	They've been messing with our channel for a while.
	We know that we don't make a dime on YouTube, so please consider doing that.
	We can't talk about this topic.
	Yeah.
	Because it's controversial to get the warm fuzzies for a man who tries to shoot The molester of his child.
	Yeah.
	So we have to be careful.
	We have to tread carefully.
	It reminds me of that song, you know, if you're loving who's wrong, I don't want to be right.
	Well, we're blaming Hollywood.
	Where's Tipper Gore when you need her?
	Well, I put in stickers.
	You're going to put it on for Run DMC and not that shh?
	So, I think you have too much gain on my microphone.
	Are you hearing that?
	It's kind of clipping me a little bit or a little bit too much compression.
	Cain Velasquez.
	Are you good there, Keegan?
	Yeah, it's raining pretty heavily.
	Oh, is that what's happening?
	It's raining.
	Sorry, it's storming here.
	Who'd have thought that in Texas in spring?
	Mostly men.
	So, Cain Velasquez in the UFC, he's the ex-UFC heavyweight champion.
	And this is a story that's been making the rounds.
	I want to be clear, I knew about this last week, and I didn't want to discuss it publicly because I did have a little bit of an inside lane, and now some of this information is publicly available.
	Not all of it.
	I will tell you, the more information that is going to be made available, The worst it's going to be, not for Cain, but for the pedophile in question.
	And I do think that this creates an existential question for a lot of people.
	I know that we live in a society with laws and we don't tolerate vigilantism, but we also live in a modern society where unfortunately, for the first time ever in human history, child sex offenders aren't killed on sight.
	They're barely punished.
	They're barely punished!
	And we'll get into that specifically where in this case the child sex offender was let out with no bail required and the father who tried to take out the pedophilic trash was put in jail with no bail allowed.
	So let me just, I think we have a clip, Cain Velasquez, the man whose son, I'll give you the quick rundown, his son was molested at a daycare.
	Molested by a guy who didn't even work at the daycare.
	It was a daycare and a house.
	Allegedly 100 times.
	We don't know how many other victims had been assaulted by this man.
	And what happened was he was taken and he was booked, right?
	He was charged.
	And then they said you're going to go home on house arrest against the advice of the DA who said this person's a danger.
	This person was molested many times.
	Sexually assaulted children many times.
	And they were going to get his ankle bracelet.
	This dad Whose child was effectively raped, sexually assaulted, did take justice into his own hands, chased the car down, and fired into the car.
	Ended up hitting the dad by non-fatal wounds.
	That's the story.
	There's more to it, which we'll discuss on MugClub.
	But here's a video of Cain Velasquez appearing in court where he's being denied bail on attempted murder charges in California.
	Who could have guessed?
	San Jose, a judge denied bail for Velazquez, who's been charged with attempted murder,
	assault, and shooting at an occupied vehicle.
	Police say Velazquez tried to shoot Harry Galarte, who's been charged with molesting
	Velazquez's four-year-old brother at a daycare owned by Galarte's mother.
	Authorities say Velazquez also chased Galarte and his parents at high speed from Morgan
	Hill to South San Jose before ramming their truck twice and again firing shots at them.
	Two bullets hit Galarte's stepfather, who is now recovering.
	The shooting and chase happened three days after a different judge freed Galarte from custody on supervised release over the DA's objection.
	That looks like it could be Joseph Rosenbaum's doppelganger.
	To be fair, King Lester's was following instructions.
	He was repeatedly screaming, shoot me inward, shoot me inward.
	It's the catchphrase of pedophiles.
	Don't say it if you don't want it.
	I mean, careful what you wish for.
	Exactly.
	We never say chase somebody down and shoot them.
	Don't do that.
	It's the old story of the pedophile monkey paw.
	Or the map.
	I'm the map, I'm the map, I'm the map, I'm the map, I'm the map, I'm the map, I'm the map, I'm the map!
	Dora's gonna be a stripper.
	It makes sense that there's a revolving door for a pedophile.
	He is the one that has to stay behind bars.
	That's wonderful.
	And look, can you comment below, before we go to Mug Club, there's a hashtag Free Cain is going on right now and his legal defense fund has been taken down.
	Can we at least all find common ground that the dad, who in a moment of, I can only imagine with two small children, babies, toddlers, whatever the appropriate age term is, I don't really know.
	I can only imagine the rage.
	If someone can plea temporary insanity, committing a murder against innocent people, can you not allow for temporary insanity or at least a temper flare-up when the guy finds out that his kid has been molested 100 times and that the guy is getting off scot-free at that point?
	At least until he's convicted?
	I mean, the whole point, right, where you deny bail, what they're doing with Cain Velasquez, is you deny bail to someone who's a danger to society at large.
	Right.
	Like someone who molests a kid a hundred times!
	California sees this guy!
	As a dangerous society at large.
	The only person, the only car he ever fired upon was a car carrying a pedophile.
	That's true.
	If there are more pedophiles around, maybe he's a danger, but I don't know.
	Yeah.
	Not nobody that molested his child.
	Yeah, I mean, he's the most dangerous guy at a NAMMWA convention.
	Yes, exactly.
	Yeah, well, Disney's there.
	They don't want to put everyone in jail.
	No, exactly.
	That's a good point.
	So, uh, hashtag FreeKane, and if you guys want to show him some, uh...
	I can't say show him some support.
	Yeah, if you guys want to show this man some support, but at least he's not the monster that the pedophile is.
	Can we all find common ground on that?
	That a dad who commits an act of violence against someone who sexually assaulted his child is not the same kind of a monster as the man who committed the grossest act of evil that I can imagine?
	Does it get much more evil than that?
	No.
	No, it actually doesn't.
	It's worse than murder, but it's treated as nothing.
	Right.
	That's what I don't understand about our society right now.
	Yeah.
	We'll talk about that.
	Yeah, we should wait.
	I would never say that I wish he was a better shot.
	No, I would never.
	Never.
	And I would never say that, you know what, this guy was a UFC heavyweight champion.
	Everyone would be better off if he'd have dragged him from the car and beaten him with his fists.
	Well, I'm just saying.
	And feet.
	Not that you should.
	He could have submitted him.
	Why?
	That's not fun.
	You'd submit your drunken uncle at a cookout.
	You don't submit a pedophile.
	We'll talk about it later.
	You throw some elbows because you don't even honor the unified rules.
	How many cookouts have you ruined?
	My uncle ruined them.
	Well, you know.
	I'm not an uncle yet.
	You're not?
	No, I'm not.
	I said it with my burgered medium!
	You could be an honorary uncle.
	I could be an honorary uncle, but I'm not.
	Now, by the way, also letterfeder.com slash tour to go see us live.
	Colorado Springs June 18th is sold out, but We'll probably be adding a show.
	We're working with the venue right now, Tulsa, Oklahoma, May 14th.
	Me and Dave on tour, stand-up, and also some sketch comedy, some improv comedy, but we'll be doing some stand-up.
	Speaking of performing, the performance arts, Kanye West.
	So he's been in some hot water, always, and more recently because of his music videos, where people were upset that it seems like, and again, it's art, so not everything is literal, But people were upset, this was trending this weekend, that he allegedly was burying, killing Pete Davidson in the video.
	Now, I have two minds about this, I'm not entirely sure.
	Here's a clip from the video that you've likely seen.
	That's the same motorcycle on which he was straddled.
	That's true.
	The song was equally bad.
	Now to be fair, I don't really know.
	That's not necessarily about Pete Davidson.
	They claim that he was burying Pete Davidson because Pete Davidson is dating Kim Kardashian.
	Also, hip-hop is now sampling hip-hop.
	Right.
	It used to be like you were grabbing from the spinners, you were grabbing from the Temptations, now it's like Kanye is sampling Jay-Z who's sampling Kanye.
	It's insane.
	It's the inception of low-grade hip-hop.
	It's really something.
	It's Annie, it's Jay-Z, and it's Kanye.
	To be fair though, If you actually look at, and again, I understand art needs to be given permission to explore, explore the space!
	That being said, if you look at the extended version, some people would argue that it's, I mean, as far as it relates to killing Pete Davidson, that it's pretty cut and dry.
	Ryan we actually have the exclusive that hasn't been released yet.
	All I wanna do is dig a hole for Pete Davidson.
	Not zealous, that's Davidson.
	Yeah, talkin' bout killin' Davidson.
	Literally, not figuratively, Davidson.
	Yeah, literally, not figuratively, I wanna kill Pete Davidson.
	Put him on a table.
	Kill him, literally, because I'm able.
	I don't know.
	I'm on the fence.
	Yeah, he's an artist, and who am I to interpret the lyrics?
	Oh, come on, man.
	It's a song about Pete Davidson.
	Well, you're going to take all art literally now?
	It's a song about Pete Davidson.
	I don't know.
	He didn't even name Pete Davidson more than four or five times.
	Yeah.
	And by the way, Pete Davidson could be figurative.
	I mean, he says it's not figurative, but that's art as well.
	He could be saying it's like when people say literally and they don't mean literally.
	Yeah, they do mean literally.
	He was holding a head of Pete Davidson.
	He was holding a claymation head that resembled... bore a vague resemblance, Dave?
	Well, it was striking.
	Striking.
	It was striking.
	It was a claymation Pete Davidson, but I'm not the one to interpret his art.
	Maybe he was holding his head to comfort him, even though it was severed.
	He could have been cradling his head.
	Yes.
	And killing could mean...
	Cuddling.
	Yeah.
	The point is, who are we to tell Kanye what his art means to him?
	Yeah, I don't think, I don't, I think this is clearly overblown and I wouldn't have him checked out for psychological needs.
	No, not at all.
	He's never been somebody who thought he was Christ.
	No.
	No, I was going to say he's also Jesus, but yeah.
	Well, Yeezus.
	Yeezus.
	Which I'm not sure if that's just.
	I don't fully understand it either because then there's Yeezus and then the shoes are Yeezy.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	It's a very expensive.
	But his life was never easy, but it was Yeezy.
	Yeah, and then he wants to hear Jesus in the clubs.
	Yeah.
	The point is, he's a good Christian man who would never kill Pete Davidson.
	Correct.
	So, you know what?
	Shame on you.
	Hey, hey Gerald.
	What?
	I don't know, do you see this?
	What?
	The plank in his eye?
	Still trying to get that speck out of Yeezy's?
	Oh, it's called Judgment.
	Murder out of Yeezy.
	Judgmental son of a bitch.
	Speaking of performance art, you can follow the podcast if you're subscribed here on YouTube or on audio.
	Apple, Spotify, as long as they allow us, Android, all that stuff.
	Used to be called iTunes when I was a kid.
	Really?
	Now it's time for our first fact check of the day.
	Jen Psaki, I believe this was yesterday, maybe it was the day before, who knows at this point, she was responding to Mr. Chinless Pete Doocy, saying that the high gas prices are actually the fault of Vladimir Putin.
	It sounds like you guys are blaming Putin for the increase in gas prices recently, but weren't gas prices going up anyway because of post-pandemic supply chain issues?
	Well, I think there's no question that as we have seen outside analysts have conveyed this as well.
	The increase in the anticipated continued increase, which is I think what some of your colleagues were asking about, that that is a direct result of the invasion of Ukraine.
	And also there was an anticipation of that.
	That was factored in as gas prices have gone up.
	Oh, so you were anticipating the surge in gas prices because of Russia and the Ukraine, and the way you anticipated it was by forcing the prices of gas prices to raise?
	I just want to make sure I'm understanding this.
	She was anticipating it so gas prices went up well before this.
	Right.
	Oh, so she thought there was going to be a bloodbath, so they anticipated the gas prices instead of stopping the bloodbath?
	She's like a ginger oracle.
	The Spartans consulted her before Thermoply.
	I started talking to Neo earlier today.
	I think it's Thermopoly.
	Right.
	What did I say?
	Thermoply.
	Thermoply.
	I don't care.
	What am I thinking?
	I'm thinking of all clad Thermaply pots and pans.
	I just got a new set with the copper and the aluminum.
	That heats up quickly.
	Lifetime warranty.
	They're not a sponsor at all.
	I'm just very thrilled about my new pots and pans.
	That's not a joke.
	All clad.
	It's unbelievable how much better.
	By the way, people out there, if you don't know the difference between buy your pots and pans once and buy right.
	It makes all the difference in the world.
	I have no idea how much non-stick cancerous coating I've been swallowing over the years.
	Well, most of it.
	Better than paying too much for gas.
	So, let's get to this.
	The gas prices.
	Okay, sure, they've surged obviously now because we understand the necessity.
	Of reducing our dependence on foreign oil.
	We get that.
	Prices have gone up significantly since the crisis.
	But they were going up for a long time.
	Well, for a long time.
	I mean, since about January 2021.
	Something like that.
	Roughly.
	Yeah.
	Roughly.
	End of January-ish.
	End of January-ish ballpark figures.
	Someone closed the pipe.
	I don't know.
	Yeah.
	I have no idea.
	So when Biden took office 14 months ago, former Vice President Joe Biden, the national average gas price was $2.39 a gallon.
	February 7th, prior That's more than a dollar!
	himself Putin invading Ukraine the national average was 344 that's more than a dollar
	that's a lot of cents I don't know if you know how many cents are in a dollar
	It's about a hundred.
	I'll have to consult the Oracles before Thermaply.
	For a Sensko, she don't make any.
	And you know what?
	The dollars don't make cents.
	That's right.
	Not when she talks.
	So, by the way, in 2019, it was $2.26.
	So it was $2.26 in 2019, and then right as Biden took office, it was about $2.39.
	That's less than a dollar.
	That's way less.
	And now today, it's $4.17.
	Wow.
	$4.17.
	That's the national average.
	We'll get to it in a little bit.
	In California, it's basically $7.
	It's very close on some of the highest end.
	Good.
	So here's the thing.
	Yes, gas prices are going up.
	And some people are trying to say it's overblown.
	No, look, I don't know if you understand that the price of energy affects everything.
	And it's not just gas, right?
	Gas is a reflection of petroleum in general, of energy in general across the globe.
	And that will be reflected in the prices that you have to pay at the grocery stores for anything.
	Everything from your frozen fruit to your beef to whatever the hell it is that you guys buy at Whole Foods, I don't really know.
	I'm always confused when I go into the aisle at Whole Foods.
	I know.
	I have no idea what that is.
	Yeah, I don't get it.
	I'm like, are you, is this an ethnic store?
	Like, what are you trying to be?
	Right, yeah.
	Like, pick something.
	Is this a spice?
	Is that a health store?
	A spice rack?
	What are you?
	I don't know.
	But either way, I'm leaving with chia seeds.
	I just have a quick question here.
	It's $80 more than it should be.
	So they had their crystal ball into the future, they saw the Ukraine thing coming, they knew there was a lead up to it, there was increasing gas prices, and they did to stop it, not to stop Russia invading, because that was probably going to happen anyway, but to do something to mitigate the increasing gas prices.
	There was some big thing they did, right?
	Raise them.
	And I know, but before you send the tweets, I'm not saying that the president sets the gas prices, I'm just saying that the president sets the energy policies that of course affect the gas prices.
	By the way, in case you doubt me, read the Green New Deal.
	It's like a page and a half.
	It doesn't take that long to understand.
	This is all about climate justice.
	When you hear this administration discussing Gas prices.
	When you hear them discussing wanting to move to green energy sources, understand that this is all about climate justice.
	Read the Green New Deal.
	These are the people who control the Democratic Party.
	When people say they're extreme on both sides, not really!
	Not really when it relates to energy.
	Read the Green New Deal and then understand how scary it is that anybody voted for it.
	Well, if one person voted, if one person supported the Green New Deal, that's one too many.
	The fact that somebody even Without stopping themselves, put quill to paper.
	I know this isn't a quill, but it's art.
	Put quill to paper!
	It was AOC, wasn't it?
	It was her and a couple of other people.
	So it was crayon to paper after she couldn't figure out the connect the dot thing.
	The paper was cut with safety scissors.
	The scissors that also looked like two crayons.
	The fact that somebody actually put pen to paper and created The Green New Deal, and proposed it, is alarming enough.
	Look, this is what I'm saying.
	I'm not even talking about, you know, oh, how a bill becomes a law.
	I'm going to see it in committee.
	I'm talking about before any of that, just the Green New Deal, think of a thought bubble in my head, and that's enough.
	That's scary enough.
	AOC herself should not have voted for this.
	Well, she was busy in her bomb shelter on January 6th or something.
	Telling everybody about her boyfriend's feet.
	Yes.
	Well, you all want them.
	You got it.
	That's the problem.
	And Dick Morris is like, did someone say feet?
	Huh?
	I'll take two.
	So here's the thing.
	Just as we've mentioned, gas prices may have exploded.
	We all know that.
	Now, of course, a lot of people, and rightfully so, and this is where we have the disconnect.
	This does affect the working middle class.
	This is how Donald Trump won a state like Michigan, a place like Wisconsin.
	The working middle class, because I think we're seeing again... Hey, remember when people thought the Democrats were not looking out for the interests of the American working class?
	Right.
	I think we're experiencing that again, which is why there might be a... There's going to be a red wave, the likes of... I mean, it should be sponsored by Tampax in 2022.
	Jeez.
	Pearl Ultra Jumbo.
	Heavy flo... So, people are upset about it.
	Here you go.
	People were feeling fed up about fueling up at the pumps.
	I just think it's ridiculous that we're paying $5 a gallon.
	Yeah, it's more expensive than I've ever paid.
	James Spader?
	I see it as an opportunity to capitalize on a global tragedy and it's just screwing regular people over.
	You voted for it.
	I know you did.
	The conflict in Ukraine has forced a sharp rise of late, but gas prices have been steadily going up since the start of 2022.
	Since the beginning of the year, crude oil prices are up by about $50 a barrel, and that translates to about $1.25 a gallon at the pump.
	Does he really want us to think that that's his office window in front of the Rockies?
	Well, it could be in Denver.
	In Berkeley.
	It said Berkeley!
	Oh, did it?
	Berkeley, yeah.
	My office is in front of a mountain.
	Yeah, that means look at my, if I pan, you can see all my books.
	Yes, that's how I know I'm a guest, Bryce.
	I used to appear on Fox News when I was at a studio that was a green screen.
	They'd go, uh, do you want the cityscape or the library, the books?
	Like, I don't know, what do most people get?
	Like, well, a lot of people ask for the books because they want to seem smart.
	Like, books on a green screen makes you seem smart?
	I'll go cityscape, thank you very much.
	So we just talked about the average gas price across the country per gallon right now, something
	like $4.17.
	It's close to $7.
	I think it's $6.95.
	I'm rounding up.
	You can admonish me.
	I don't give a rat's ass.
	Let me put this in context.
	And people were talking about this on Twitter.
	Yesterday we were talking about how we went back and watched Dumb and Dumber.
	And we saw the gas prices and said, hey, that's basically the gas prices now.
	The gas prices now in California are so high, they are higher than post-apocalyptic crappy film, I Am Legend.
	I'm a survivor living in New York City.
	I am broadcasting on all AM frequencies.
	That was supposed to be shocking.
	There was some consultant on there, like, hey, maybe we should boost it to 695.
	No, the key is it's got to be believable.
	It's got to be horrifying enough that it'll scare people, but you just, you can't, you can't show the monster right away.
	Don't worry, it's still two bucks less than Mad Max and Book of Eli.
	Did they elect Joe Biden in I Am Legend 2?
	Effectively, I guess.
	Right before it happened?
	I believe the movie is about a vaccine.
	The parallels are striking!
	I'm just saying, it's just a movie, okay?
	Just a movie.
	I'm referring to the vaccine in the film that killed everyone.
	Is he Dr. Fauci running around, I can fix this!
	Yeah, exactly.
	He just gets shot by Will Smith.
	One guy and a German Shepard are still alive?
	Where are the sand flies when you need them?
	How does he keep the German Shepard alive?
	Do you have any idea what a liability that thing is?
	Historically, you'd think he'd be mad at him.
	Yeah, you would think so too.
	Well, they don't have... I don't know what their hydro situation is.
	Isn't there a shepherd?
	He's got a shepherd.
	I think he has a shepherd in that.
	Right?
	Yeah.
	But there are no more fire hoses.
	No.
	There's lunch counters.
	But the good thing is he can eat at any lunch counter he wants.
	Yeah.
	The point is there's a silver lining.
	Think about that for a second!
	When we say that it's beyond parody, that's a post-apocalyptic film!
	Yeah.
	Yeah, a group of people sat there and were like, look, it just can't get higher than that.
	Nobody's going to believe it.
	And people at that, so that's like the high end in, what is it, LA County, San Francisco kind of Bay Area.
	Yeah, they're looking at it going, yeah, that's Tuesday.
	Right.
	Yeah.
	I saw that in a film once.
	Not even once.
	I saw that in the theater when I was on the road doing comedy.
	It's not even an old movie.
	And by the way, this is one of those things where If you were to say this, like we were talking about the consultant in that film who was fired for being hyperbolic saying, I think we should make it like $7.50.
	There might have been, if only there had been a world leader who everyone accused of being hyperbolic, everyone accused of being, you know, trying to induce mania, who accurately predicted, I sound like Joe Biden right now.
	If only there was like an oracle who accurately predicted $7 gas.
	Did we have it?
	And the lumber's gone through the roof.
	The lumber, I guess, as much as anything, but everything.
	Steel.
	You look at what's going on with pricing, and obviously you're going to have inflation.
	Gasoline is going to stop at six, seven dollars, I think, based on what I'm seeing.
	We were energy independent when I left, and right now I would have to say we are no longer energy independent.
	We're putting windmills all over the place, which costs a fortune.
	Now I'm hoping he's right in that it stops at seven.
	Yeah, well no, with breaking news right now, they just went away from, actually it's still up there.
	Oh, on CNN, press up really quick.
	Biden is about to announce a ban on Russian oil imports.
	Okay, so one, finally, right?
	And two, guess where gas prices are going now?
	Right.
	Now, it would be one thing if they banned Russian imports, and we said, well, okay, so that means we're going to be able to use our own?
	No.
	No, we need more green cars.
	Well, what are we going to do right now if we're getting rid of three, depending on the number used, three to ten percent of the energy's oil production, right, coming from Russia.
	Sorry, the world's oil production.
	I don't know if it's the oil production or energy overall.
	If it's the United States, depending on if you use the global number, it can be anywhere from three to ten, or just the United States, it can be from three to ten.
	The point is, it's enough.
	It's a lot.
	It's one thing to say, okay, no more Russian imports, which I support, but you can only do.
	We just talked about this yesterday.
	So you're experiencing this in real time.
	So smash the like button if you understand that you're experiencing this in real time.
	We discussed this exactly yesterday.
	This just happened.
	It is breaking right now.
	You can only negotiate from a position of strength.
	You're in an entirely different scenario.
	On banning Russian imports, as it relates to oil, if you are energy-independent, or relatively energy-independent, than if you've been approving pipelines going through their country and increasing your dependence on oil coming from these other countries who, by the way, don't care about us, hate us, want to wipe us off the face of the map, or don't have EPA standards.
	My point is, you can take any of those evils.
	Now, here's the thing.
	Far be it from me to defend the oil companies on every level.
	But I do think, you know, they're palminant.
	They're pominent because right now they want you to scapegoat one person, one industry, and one only.
	But the thing is, if we're going to blame the oil companies, like you just heard that lady saying, I think this is taking advantage of the American people.
	Okay, I understand that.
	Who's taking advantage of the American people?
	We're going to have some numbers here in a little bit.
	Might shock you.
	And I grew up with this in Quebec.
	So I'm right in there!
	I went to community college!
	I know what I'm talking about!
	They want you to believe that it's the oil companies exclusively raking in all the dough.
	Just take it from this black CNN host and Bob Newhart.
	You represent a district in California where today, according to AAA, the average cost for a gallon of regular is $4.74.
	Is the administration, are you, is Congress doing enough to prepare the American people for the cost that may come as a result of putting this pressure on Putin?
	Probably not enough, but the American people need to understand who is making the big profit on the gas.
	Right now, I would call for Congress, Senate, and House to conduct immediate hearings on the profitability of the oil industry.
	There is clearly price gouging going on here, and they're going to whine and say, oh, it's not us, it's the Saudi Arabians or somebody else.
	But the profits of those industries have gone through the roof.
	No, we're not really saying that it's a Saudi Arabian's U.S.
	House Member John Ghiramendi from California, the worst state in the union.
	We're saying it's you.
	And this is a solution they always have.
	We're going to look at them and we're going to make sure they bring prices down.
	Hey, isn't that strikingly similar to something that former Vice President Joe Biden said, by the way, about inflation and prices, which only a month and a half prior he said was a good thing, but then told you exactly how he was going to bring those prices down.
	Same solution.
	I think I have a better idea to fight inflation.
	Lower your costs, not your wages.
	Huh?
	Folks... I'm drunk.
	Yes.
	Do you know how stupid he is?
	He doesn't realize what he said.
	He didn't say lower your price, he said lower your cost.
	Yeah.
	Which means they would make more money.
	Because that doesn't have the effect of the price.
	One could almost argue, go with me here, that businesses are almost always trying to reduce costs.
	That's almost one of the primary purposes of businesses, to reduce costs.
	Don't go out on a limb too far.
	And increase profits.
	I don't think so.
	Just reduce your costs!
	And every business owner's like, of course.
	Why didn't I think of that?
	But also, why does he need to fight inflation?
	Inflation's a good thing.
	I thought.
	Remember when we were told inflation wasn't happening?
	It was overblown.
	Then we were told inflation's actually a good thing.
	And then his solution was, we're just going to tell them to reduce your costs.
	Oh, well, that's wonderful.
	Just like with gas prices.
	Just reduce your costs.
	So here's the thing.
	If you want to talk about the American public, the working class being raped by oil companies, That they're taking advantage of people during a pandemic, fine.
	If you want to go that route, okay.
	But you would have to place an equal amount of blame on the United States government.
	I'm only asking for consistency.
	So according to Stillwater Associates, for every gallon of gas, consumers are paying about $1.18 in taxes and fees.
	So let me break this down for you in the state of California, where House Member Bob Newhart's from.
	$0.18 in federal taxes.
	$0.51 in state taxes.
	$0.10 sales tax.
	$0.22 for the low-carbon program.
	Oh boy, that's not an umbrella term that can be abused.
	$0.15 for greenhouse gas program.
	$0.02 for underground tank storage.
	Here's the thing.
	$0.22 for a low-carbon program.
	Then 15 cents for greenhouse gas.
	Can't you just bundle it and make it, like, nothing?
	Well, they can't label it slush fund program.
	Right.
	Well, yeah, the low carbon program is just don't drive.
	Yeah.
	Don't drive your usual route.
	It's 22 cents.
	Where does it go?
	Social Security.
	What about the Social Security fund?
	That's been gone for a long time.
	What are you talking about?
	Do I get that when I retire?
	No.
	We just take it till you're dead.
	So think about this.
	For every gallon of gas sold in California, the state takes $1.
	The federal government takes $0.18.
	So that's $1.18.
	If you add up the oil companies together, oil producers, refineries.
	So oil producers, anywhere from $1.05 to $1.15, call it $1.12.
	Refineries make $0.05 per gallon, those evil refineries.
	to a dollar fifteen, call it a dollar twelve.
	Refineries make five cents per gallon, those evil refineries.
	Tankers pipelines make about one cent a gallon.
	Gas station owners make about four to seven cents per gallon.
	In other words, they're both making effectively the same amount.
	They're both taking the same amount for each gallon of gas you put in your car.
	So why are we only blaming oil companies?
	And how can Jen Psaki and Joe Biden and Nancy Pelosi look themselves in the mirror and say, I know, I'll vilify oil companies.
	At least these people provide a service You've suckled at the government teat for 52 years, Joe Biden.
	Why aren't you just as responsible?
	The numbers are about the same.
	This is all I'm saying.
	A little bit of consistency.
	If you're going to be mad at the oil companies, if you're going to be mad at the gas station owners, or the refineries, you absolutely have to be mad.
	At the government.
	And by the way, I lived through this in Quebec.
	So in Quebec, I don't know what the prices are in Quebec right now.
	I bet you they're higher than California.
	A lot.
	When I lived in Quebec, we would go per liter, and it was significantly more expensive than the United States.
	I remember my uncle from Wisconsin came in and visited, and he didn't realize it was per liter.
	He goes, oh, look at that, Kyle.
	Look at that.
	Look at those cheap gas prices there.
	I'm like, that's per liter.
	He's like, what's a liter?
	We also have our milk in bags.
	You're crazy!
	Yeah, no, the first time I went over there, I was like, well, this is nice.
	You want to convert that to 2.3 times that.
	That's the gallon, roughly.
	So people were so mad about paying such high gas prices in Quebec, where I was raised, that they were constantly vilifying the oil companies.
	And of course, the local government and the provincial government, the federal government
	there in Canada, the national government, they kept blaming the oil companies.
	And the oil companies and the gas stations got so pissed off, they actually put at every
	pump a graph to explain.
	I think we have it.
	Yeah, they put up a graph to explain where the profits actually went.
	So kind of like now they're really mad that there are Biden stickers being put up at gas
	pumps that say, I did that.
	Just tag a police precinct.
	You're better off than putting an easily removable sticker at a gas pump.
	Like a rapist telling you about his childhood.
	This is why I'm hurting.
	Yes, exactly.
	Oh, thank you.
	And here's 30% of it.
	Oh, wow.
	So look at New Jersey gas price there.
	427, 427.
	Jersey.
	Wow.
	And you're not allowed to pump your own gas.
	At least you weren't in New Jersey when I lived in New York.
	I don't think you're still allowed to.
	Yeah, because it could be a fire hazard or something like that.
	Oh, what is everyone doing in the rest of the country?
	Yeah, if you're on your cell phone, it could explode.
	Oh, really?
	Yes.
	Why is Tim Cook still free to roam?
	Exactly.
	How many lives has he taken?
	What, because I get a text?
	I get a text on my phone, now all of a sudden I'm going to look like Darkman?
	I remember a guy came up to me in Jersey.
	I was like, is this the, is this the pull up to the pump old days where you come out and serve me on the side?
	I'm sorry.
	I'll move my car.
	And the guy's like, no, you have to do it here at your station.
	Really?
	Yeah.
	And I'm like, I don't think, I don't think that's right.
	I don't think that's legal.
	And he's like, nope, it's all a Jersey.
	You can't pump your own gas.
	And I was like, I'm qualified.
	Yes.
	I can do it.
	There are a few things for which you are qualified.
	I don't mind tipping.
	I'm just saying I could happily... You don't have to do this, sir.
	Yeah.
	But he did.
	He's like, I do have to do it.
	Why?
	It's a law.
	Because once you create a law, you can't get it off the books.
	Even one as stupid as this.
	Now, we talked yesterday about what we can do, because there are solutions that everybody out there should know about.
	I don't just want to be a Trevor Noah, John Oliver, people who just bitch and don't actually offer solutions, barring, of course, a solution of mandating vaccines for everybody.
	We talked about fracking.
	We talked about opening up our own energy reserves in Alaska.
	We talked about allowing more onshore drilling leases.
	Okay.
	We also talked about the Keystone XL pipeline.
	Now, to be clear, there is some misinformation going out, and when I say misinformation, I mean people on the left lying about this or misrepresenting it, and they're still free to post on social media.
	By the way, the sitting president, President Donald Trump, banned.
	As far as I know it, Putin may still be on Twitter.
	I think so.
	Cool.
	Really?
	Did you see there's a new Twitter?
	Someone can bring it up.
	I don't have this ready here for the show, but Twitter said that they're going to be removing any posts that so distrust in the government of the Ukraine.
	Why should we trust any government, let alone Ukraine's government?
	Why is that a policy?
	So there's a difference between Keystone, the Keystone Pipeline, and Keystone XL.
	Now this was trending yesterday.
	And leftists thought that they really had a gotcha, where they were saying, actually, opening the Keystone XL pipeline won't do anything to lower gas prices anyway.
	And I think we have some tweets up there.
	Yeah.
	They were trying to say that, actually, it's crude oil.
	It's Canada, which is true.
	And it's crude.
	And so they'll be selling it to China or Mexico.
	Now, those contracts don't exist.
	These are people who are effectively making assumptions, which, by the way, is also why Keystone XL would actually affect our energy prices, because the oil market is largely subject to speculators.
	Yeah.
	And if they understand that there are more reserves, if they understand that there's more access to oil, you see a correction of the market immediately.
	So here's what I was talking about earlier.
	Any increase in energy production will lower prices not only in the United States, it would be nicer to buy from Canada if we could to have that option.
	Now, I mean, Putin, Trudeau, it's a toss-up.
	It really is.
	But Trudeau won't be in there.
	He won't be there much longer.
	He's not gonna invade anybody though.
	No, I have no idea.
	I don't think he can.
	Mounties?
	Come on.
	I don't know.
	Maybe he could.
	He'd try.
	He could try.
	Maine.
	Go for Maine.
	Be a great coup.
	Just lay low for 200 years.
	Then attack Honduras.
	Just show up.
	Take it.
	And be like, what did you see?
	What happened?
	And show up and Canada should be like, what'd I tell you?
	And the Hondurans be like, was he talking to me?
	I didn't even know.
	Commander Blackface, what did we do?
	What did he say?
	Yeah, Canada should just do that.
	Give themselves, like, plausible... I always thought, like, I've never punched... I'll never know what it feels like to punch somebody I can't stand in the face because, you know, I'll get sued... Yeah, it's International Women's Day.
	Today's the best day ever.
	That tuna sandwich sucked.
	I'll never know what it feels like, but I always thought... Here's the problem with committing a crime.
	Aside from the morality.
	And the punishment.
	Yeah.
	Unless you're a pedophile.
	You need an ankle bracelet.
	Well, then, revolving door front.
	The perfect crime is you have to commit it against somebody who you have no connection with.
	That's the only way you can get away with it.
	But then, you lose the satisfaction of committing the crime against the person you want to hurt, and so it's quite the quandary.
	But I always thought that if I were to do it, I would just, I would give myself plausible deniability.
	Like, I would punch some random guy, but I'd yell like, Stop eating my damn strawberries!
	And you'd be like, what did I do?
	Were those his strawberries?
	He would have no idea and by the time he's thinking about it, going through his memory Rolodex as to what he did wrong, accepting partial responsibility because it's a stand-up guy who I'm punching, I'm long gone.
	And he's waking up in a hospital with a belly full of strawberries and a face full of tears.
	Yes, and a mouth full of teeth.
	You shouldn't do any of this.
	So here's a good example while we're talking about this.
	The Keystone XL pipeline.
	Yeah, sure, it's Canadian.
	Okay, got it.
	Crude.
	I understand.
	It's not necessarily our own oil.
	Immediately turn on the tap.
	It's a part of a multi-pronged approach.
	Fracking, when we opened up our own reserves, it caused the global price Of energy.
	Of oil and gas to decline.
	Yeah.
	Now, keep in mind, when gas prices were at their absolute lowest, right, when you were getting under $2 gas here in the United States, you know, as long ago as 2018, the Saudis and the Russians, they had to flood the market to compete.
	Here's an exact quote.
	The Saudis decided to flood the world market with oil and send crude prices from a 2014 peak of more than $100 per barrel to roughly $55 within a matter of months.
	If I'm not mistaken, it's $200 per barrel right now.
	No, I don't remember what the current price is, but it's getting close.
	It's getting close to $200 per barrel.
	It's ratcheting up, and this is going to make it go up more.
	You're 100% right.
	This was economic warfare by Russia and Saudi Arabia, and really OPEC is really what you need to say, because those countries get together and basically say, that's not okay for them to produce this much.
	We're going to flood the market and make it to where now they can't make money on oil and they have to stop fracking.
	So part of it was that, then it was policies from the administration.
	But everybody needs to understand, what we used to complain about in the 80s and the 90s was, OPEC arbitrarily setting high prices for oil because they could.
	Nobody else was competing.
	Then we started competing and it pissed them off.
	Yeah.
	And it took money out of their coffers and energy prices for the globe went down.
	Exactly.
	It doesn't exist in this vacuum.
	It's not an echo chamber.
	It's not a closed loop circuit, put it that way, where people try and think if the United States opens up their own reserves, that's the only thing that will affect their oil prices.
	No, no, no.
	If we have more access to oil energy, period, globally, particularly if it's not Coming from Russia, coming from Saudi Arabia, coming from countries that hate us, or at the very least kind of hide their hatred from us, but are certainly not bastions of human rights.
	Guess what?
	Prices go down across the globe.
	Now, we should start with our own, but that's not on the cards right now for at least the next two years.
	Oops.
	That being said, it benefits everybody!
	Hey, when you talk about climate change and you talk about it killing people in the third world, and I know you want us to think that, you know, the fact that there's some kind of a fracking pipe going through an urban area that has a, you know, median household income lower than the national average, that's climate racial injustice, I believe is the term to use.
	Racial injustice or climate social justice.
	They make up a new term every week.
	You know what kills minorities across this country?
	Minorities to Americans, meaning people who are not white, is gas prices.
	It's inconvenient to you for it to be $7 in California.
	It's deadly.
	It's deadly to someone in rural Mexico.
	It's deadly to someone in South America who works for two weeks just to get enough energy to heat up a can of beans.
	The best thing we can do for the rest of the world is have access to as much energy as humanly possible here in the United States, because at least we're dictating the terms at that point.
	But, you know, look not at what the left hand is doing, it's the evil oil companies.
	It's the evil oil companies.
	It has nothing to do with the government.
	Really?
	Okay.
	If you buy that, well, I have a timeshare to sell you, or I have a Kenyan prince.
	I love the comparison that you talked about.
	$1.12 to oil companies, $1.18 to federal and state governments.
	They're the same.
	If you hate one, you have to hate the other.
	You can't split them apart.
	I think that was, I didn't know that.
	$1.12 to $1.18.
	Yeah, that's insane.
	And if you add up all of, you know, oil, not just the oil companies, but the refineries, it's still, it's like $1.35.
	But don't worry, the plan is going to be raising taxes on people who need to pay their fair share so they can just give money away to people that they've raised gas prices on that affected, that are affected the most by it.
	Don't worry.
	In case you ever doubted that they were out for their own selfish interests, this sitting former vice president decided to raise... He decided!
	You're like, isn't it an arbitrary number?
	How is this determined out there?
	What, is it out there in the ether?
	He's like, no, no, we know exactly who isn't paying their fair share.
	Really, who's that?
	Anyone making more than $400,000 a year.
	What do you make, $400,000 a year?
	Actually, $399,999 now.
	What do you make? $400,000 a year?
	Actually $399,999 now. I just passed that law.
	Okay. Yes.
	So his last dollar will be taxed at that highest marginal bracket.
	Listen, I'm paying it too, folks!
	We're all making sacrifices!
	That's 37 cents.
	Yeah, well, you know.
	It's crap.
	Never been there.
	And this brings us to also this disastrous, the foreign policy.
	Look, there are a lot of concerns here when we're talking about Russia and we're talking about Ukraine.
	It's not just going on there.
	Now, we should not be going to war.
	I just look, I just don't think we should be going to war in this case because thousands of lives versus potentially a billion.
	When you talk about even, right, the Polish army talking about sending in some fighter jets, and then some representatives in our country are saying, yeah, we would support that.
	That's okay.
	That's an act of war.
	Then we're in war.
	You're either all in with war or you're not.
	And I just don't want to see more lives lost.
	However, Again it doesn't exist in a vacuum and so there's a lot of this has to do with well you were talking about this earlier you want to talk about Iran right this is something with Biden's policy and Iran and Jen Psaki got really smug and tried to blame Donald Trump for pulling out of the Iran nuclear deal but really that's because it was a shitty deal yeah well didn't stop them from getting nukes and it didn't hurt them
	No, when you make bad policy decisions domestically on oil production that are going to affect the supply in the world and also the pricing in the world, it forces you into some really bad relationships.
	And so right now we're actually cozying back up to Iran of all people to go back into bed with because what do they have that we need right now?
	Oil, right?
	And we also talked about Maduro yesterday.
	You know what we have that they need?
	Bikinis.
	I don't know that they need them.
	We only do business with countries that allow the bikini.
	When Iran gets back to that, because they allowed it in the 70s and then they became more radical, then we'll sit at the table and talk.
	Until then, no nukes.
	Masks is fine.
	One of the people who's a little sexier when some of us come up.
	Yeah.
	You guys remember the, uh, like a genie peaks, the curiosity get like a dream, a
	genie.
	I'll be your Darren.
	I like shack.
	Don't you need some ocean front there?
	I mean, just in the sand it's not gonna work.
	You can make an ocean.
	I have man-made lakes and by man-made I mean- Not in Iran!
	You're talking like Saudi Arabia's- I'm talking about man-made lakes, okay?
	And by that I mean slave-made lakes.
	Go ahead.
	Right.
	A lake, not an ocean.
	That would be ridiculous.
	Well, you guys remember when we gave Iran, I don't know, several billion-dollar pallets of cash.
	Kind of the same thing that we did with Afghanistan, except we just left it there for whoever to take it, right?
	So we gave them some money.
	Afghanistan, it was Apache helicopters and Blackhawks.
	Right.
	When he was actually the vice president.
	And they, like the Biden administration, sorry, the Obama administration, loved the fact that
	we were jumping into bed with these guys.
	And we entered into an agreement with them and gave them tons and tons of money.
	Now we're actually cozying back up and trying to do that again.
	And so Iran envoy Robert Meili is close to finalizing this deal with them and giving
	them crazy concessions.
	I think we have an overlay with it here.
	They're absolutely stunned by the number of things that we are willing to give away and the teeth that we're taking out of some of the sanctions that we've put on Iran.
	So former John McCain aide, State Department official Gabriel Nourania tweeted some of the concessions.
	I'll read them here for you real quick.
	My former career State Department, NSC, and EU colleagues are so concerned with the concessions being made that they've allowed me to publish some details of the coming deal.
	The U.S.
	has promised to lift sanctions on some of the regime's worst terrorists and torturers, leading officials in the regime's WMD infrastructure, and is currently trying to lift sanctions on the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps itself.
	That's insane.
	You're basically trying to get back into bed.
	So they're talking about the nuclear deal, right, that they had talked about earlier.
	They're basically trying to make concessions now to Iran and get back into a bed with them because we have an issue.
	By the way, side note.
	Remember how, I think it was Saturday night, we heard all across the news that Russia was attacking a Ukrainian nuclear power plant?
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Yeah, it wasn't a thing.
	Oh, the fire?
	Yeah.
	Didn't happen?
	No.
	Ha!
	Fake news, huh?
	What?
	Who would have thought?
	Yeah.
	Not me!
	No, he didn't say it!
	I didn't say it!
	It was the news that said it!
	Bring CNN up there.
	Bring the angry, chain gang, lesbian-cudded correspondent there.
	Now admonish them!
	Look!
	She's doing it!
	Look, she has books!
	She has books!
	Those might be real.
	She's smart!
	That may be real.
	Scissoring for dummies!
	We can't bring the admonish over that, but we should.
	Dadgummit.
	I can't believe I got admonished.
	Well look, so the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, right?
	So that name, you think that's like their SEAL team, you know, kind of six thing.
	Well, General Hussein Dagan, who led the forces that killed 241 soldiers in 1983 in Beirut, will be free of sanctions.
	So that guy is part of this sanction lifting that they're talking about.
	And the Ayatollah Khomeini, by the way, who I also believe is still allowed on Twitter.
	Also allowed.
	The companies, the corporations that he runs.
	I don't know at a certain point if it's a shell corporation or like a desert robe corporation.
	I don't know about the nomenclature.
	It's a golden parachute.
	It's going to be worth tens of billions.
	Yes, tens of billions, because he's trying to compete with Putin for richest man on the planet.
	Yes, exactly.
	Nobody really gets to see that.
	By not starting an actual business himself, but stealing it from his people.
	So these are the people we should be in bed with when doing this.
	Some people don't understand.
	I understand that when you have enemies, you have to make alliances, you have to create alliances with people who are the enemy of your enemy.
	But when will you learn it?
	We should... Iran's not a friend!
	Yeah.
	Stop trying to make them a friend!
	They're not your friend!
	You know what's really funny though?
	So Iran and Russia typically work together to piss us off most of the time, right?
	And now we're trying to kind of, with the nuclear deal, we're trying to lift some of the sanctions and start to open some channels up and Russia's like, No.
	No, you can't get oil from them.
	You have to get it from us, right?
	So, this is for political, right?
	They're trying to actually stop the deal that we're trying to restart with Russia or with Iran right now.
	I just think it's hilarious.
	Like, it just makes for very strange bedfellows.
	Hello?
	Yes, Ayatollah Khomeini, I hear that you might be talking with the United States about oil.
	Come on, we go back.
	Let's sit together at extra-long table to have talk.
	You sit on that end, I will be over on the other end in three days.
	We will have two Maxwell house cans with a piece of string, and you will hear me crystal clear like we are on Vonage.
	Yes, like movie Big.
	Do they give you, like, opera glasses as well?
	Yes, exactly.
	White gloves.
	They're just binoculars looking at each other, talking through a walkie-talkie.
	Oh, well look, then Wilkes Booth comes up and shoots you in the back of the head.
	All of this kind of feeds into Something else that's pretty troubling, right?
	With the U.S.
	dollar.
	Let me explain this on the outset before we get too nerdy about it.
	Here's something you need to understand.
	The United States dollar, right, is the benchmark, right?
	It sort of uses the international benchmark for currency, okay?
	That's important.
	It's the reserve currency.
	It's the reserve currency, right.
	I know that if I say the reserve currency, a lot of people will be like, what?
	Yeah.
	What?
	No, look, okay.
	So it's basically the currency that means by which all other currencies are compared.
	Are compared, yeah.
	Okay?
	You, if you're watching right now, listening right now, most of you, the vast majority of you, but likely right now if I'm speaking to you individually, watching, listening, you've experienced that your entire life.
	Yeah.
	And by that I mean, without a doubt, you have.
	Yeah, I don't think we have any 120-year-olds, however long it goes back, watching it.
	Yeah, 19-aughts.
	Yeah, probably not.
	Although, if so, thank you for your service.
	So you've always experienced that.
	You don't know the cold world that exists if that is not the case.
	Now we're at a point with Russia And China.
	We've talked about the dangerous alliance that we could see between Russia and China, but now India might want to get in that mix.
	So if you have Russia, India, China, okay?
	That's half of population Earth.
	You're talking about several billion people.
	I believe it's about half the population.
	If not, it's very close.
	2.9 billion roughly.
	Is it 2.9 billion?
	I've heard numbers like 3.5 billion.
	How many we got, eight?
	Well, we're trending.
	We're losing somewhere.
	The point is, it's too many billions.
	Too many billions of people.
	If they do not recognize the United States as a reserve currency, guess what?
	That is a huge problem for you.
	That is the end of the modern world, as you know it.
	And that certainly is the end of our autonomy and our freedom.
	Because that debt, guess what, can actually be called in.
	Whereas right now, Chanukah goes, Blake, hey, you owe us money.
	We're not going to pay that.
	Nah, we'll just print some more.
	Here you go.
	We didn't say it'd be valued the same.
	I don't understand why we tax... I don't understand why we increase taxes at all or pay any debt with dollars that we have if we're just going to print more.
	Just do it all the time.
	Well, you just don't want runaway inflation.
	Well, no, I know, but they don't care about that.
	They're turning our dollar into the ruple.
	Yeah, that's a good thing.
	Inflation's good for the economy, according to Joe Biden.
	Right.
	If you're just going to leave billions of dollars worth of planes in the middle of the desert, perhaps... It's too expensive to bring them back.
	Is this former Vice President Joe Biden?
	Is he on live right now?
	Breaking news right now.
	Right now, former Vice President Joe Biden is speaking live.
	Let's hear him talk tough about Russia.
	Moving forward with this ban, understanding that many of our European allies and partners may not be in a position to join us.
	The United States produces far more oil domestically than all the European countries combined.
	Oh, thank you.
	In fact, we're a net exporter of energy.
	We were!
	We were!
	Oh, energy.
	See the change?
	Energy, not oil.
	The brown marks on the side of his face on each side.
	What is that?
	He took one for International Women's Day.
	He just said we remain united.
	We remain united in our purpose to keep pressure mounting on Putin and his war machines.
	This is a step that- You wouldn't know anything about the war machine, would you, Biden?
	But there will be cost as well here in the United States.
	I said I would level with the American people from the beginning.
	You will level the American people.
	Defending freedom is going to cost us as well in the United States.
	Republicans and Democrats understand that.
	Republicans and Democrats alike have been clear that we must do this.
	Over the last week, I spoke with President Zelensky several times.
	To hear from him about the situation on the ground and to consult and continue to consult with our European allies about U.S.
	support for Ukraine and the Ukrainian people.
	Thus far, we've provided more than $1 billion in security assistance to Ukraine.
	Shipments of defensive weapons are arriving to Ukraine every day from the United States, and we, the United States, are the ones coordinating the delivery of our allies and partners of similar Uh, weapons from Germany to Finland to the Netherlands.
	We're we're, we're working that out.
	We're also providing humanitarian support to both those still in Ukraine and those who have fled safely to neighboring countries.
	We're working that out.
	We're working with humanitarian organizations to surge tens of thousands of tons of food, water, medical supplies.
	Oh good, well I guess the homeless problem is solved here in the United States.
	We don't have any people going to bed hungry.
	I sent Secretary Blinken to visit our border between Poland and Ukraine and to Moldova.
	Oh, borders matter now!
	We don't care about what's going on in our southern border, but we are obsessed with Ukraine's borders.
	I just want to make sure that I understand the rules.
	He's the last guy you would want in front of you or behind you at a checkout line.
	He doesn't know how to use that little dividing stick.
	He's the kind of guy that goes in the express lane with 24 items.
	You're way past the grace item, dummy.
	Vice President Harris is going to be traveling to meet with our allies in Poland and Romania
	later this week as well.
	I've made it clear that the United States will share in the responsibility of caring
	for the refugees so the costs do not fall entirely on the European countries bordering
	Ukraine.
	Didn't they just make it illegal for able-bodied men to leave Ukraine?
	18-year-old men?
	Yeah, that's always a good sign.
	By the way, I just want to be clear.
	Of course my heart goes out to all the people of Ukraine.
	Of the Ukrainian-Russian conflict.
	I know it's Ukraine, not the Ukraine.
	It's very easy to say, because it's just Ukraine sounds coming out of your mouth.
	My heart goes out to those people.
	But you really are looking at one corrupt shithole fighting another corrupt shithole.
	Let's not act as though Ukraine is a bastion of freedom over there, okay?
	If you have to ban your own citizens from leaving your country, that means that a good portion of them don't want to stay and fight because they don't think what you've created, and by you I mean of course as well the Obama administration, the administration that you've installed is worth fighting for.
	Can you imagine having to ban Americans?
	From fleeing the country if there was a home invasion?
	No, they have the opposite problem.
	That's why they're constantly concerned about Americans with guns, because they know they're going to plant their feet in their soil and defend what's theirs.
	Absolutely.
	There are enough Ukrainians who don't want to defend that place that they are trying to leave and a new law had to be created to muppet hook them back.
	Major companies are pulling out of Russia entirely, without even being asked, not by us.
	Over the weekend, Visa, Mastercard, American Express, they all suspended their services.
	Tell me when you have Diners Club.
	Joining a growing list of American and global companies from Ford to Nike to Apple, they've suspended their operations in Russia.
	The U.S.
	Stock Exchange has halted trading of many Russian securities.
	And the private sector is united against Russia's vicious war of choice.
	U.S.
	Department of Justice has assembled a dedicated task force to go after Russian criminals.
	None of that affects Vladimir Putin.
	You said you were going to go after oligarchs.
	You think he's driving around in a Ford Fiesta with his Nike kicks?
	Maybe.
	On and off day.
	He's thumbing through the roughly 800 million dollars that we've bought in Russian energy since the start of this war going, that's doing just fine.
	Joe Biden thinks that freezing his Capital One points rewards card is gonna stop him.
	I get double points when I eat out!
	Since Putin began his military buildup on Ukrainian borders, just since then, The price of the gas at the pump in America went up 75 cents.
	And with this action, it's going to go up further.
	I'm going to do everything I can to minimize price insecurity.
	In coordination with our partners, we've already announced that we're releasing 60 million barrels of oil from our joint oil reserves.
	Half of that, 30 billion, is coming from the United States.
	And we're taking steps to ensure a reliable supply of global energy.
	We're also going to keep working with every tool at our disposal to protect American families and businesses.
	Let me say this.
	To the oil and gas companies and to the finance firms that back them, we understand Putin's war against the people of Ukraine is causing prices to rise.
	We get that.
	That's self-evident.
	But, but, but, but, it's no excuse to exercise excessive price increases.
	We just gave you the numbers.
	He's vilifying companies that take the same amount or less depending on the state that this government takes.
	Think about that for a second.
	The difference is he has a forced platform where you have to sit here and watch and everyone has to turn to this and act like he's not spewing bullshit.
	He's as close to literally pissing on your forehead and telling you that it's raining that I've ever seen.
	And I get that it's figured.
	I'm pulling a condom.
	Your forehead isn't a diaper he's wearing.
	Yes it is.
	Never head is in a diaper he's wearing.
	It's simply not true that my administration or policies are holding back domestic energy
	production.
	Yes, it is.
	It's simply not true.
	Yes, it is.
	Even amid the pandemic, companies in the United States pump more oil during my first year
	in office than they did during my predecessor's first year.
	What about the other years?
	In the United States, 90% of onshore oil production takes place on land that isn't owned by the federal government.
	the other years.
	In the United States, 90% of onshore oil production takes place on land that isn't owned by the
	federal government.
	And of the remaining 10% that occurs on federal land, Do we have that number?
	How many did former Vice President Joe Biden approve for onshore?
	least they have 9,000 permits to drill now they could be drilling right now
	yesterday last week last year they have 9,000 to drill onshore that are already
	approved so let me be clear let me be clear yeah how many did he approve do we
	have that number how many Joe former vice president Joe Biden approved for
	onshore I believe it was zero I believe it's none Good number.
	If not, it's pretty close.
	Also, here's a question.
	Energy independent.
	Thanks, Joe.
	Tell me how you do it.
	They don't want to go back to that point.
	It's just not tenable.
	It should motivate us to accelerate the transition of clean energy.
	This is a perspective that our European allies share.
	What about nuclear?
	Zero, I'm sure, Eliseo.
	Zero, but not zero.
	So he just took credit for the ones that already existed under President Donald Trump.
	Correct.
	So he just took credit for the ones that already existed under President Donald Trump.
	He also just said it's not his fault.
	Right now, we cannot power electric vehicles on clean energy.
	You are many, many decades away from that.
	Also, you have to understand the millions of lives lost during that transition, because guess what?
	The amount of lives lost per kilowatt hour, if you look at things like solar, if you look at things like wind, the safest energy as far as human sacrifice, as far as the casualty rate, is nuclear.
	Something that they have ardently fought against for a very long time.
	Here's something else, too.
	This is happening in real time.
	We just were going through what this administration is doing, and they did it right now!
	All references available at loudearthcreditor.com.
	But I want you to... Let's do this exercise, okay?
	Right now.
	And you know what?
	Let's have the team ready here to fact-check it so that I make sure that I'm not speaking out of turn, because I'm not prepared for any of this.
	But he just sold you.
	He said, look, look at all these, uh, look at all these, uh, they have these leases and they're not drilling.
	They could be drilling right now.
	Okay, good.
	So it's a company that you just vilified for being greedy and wanting to make a profit.
	You just vilified them for being greedy profiteers, right?
	Everyone remembers that.
	Okay.
	So assuming that they are the greedy profiteers you made them out to be, why would they not be drilling?
	Their business is providing oil.
	Seems to me you need to drill.
	Seems to me that the primary actions you need to take in order to be a successful oil company is to first procure the oil and then sell the oil.
	Why would they not be procuring the oil?
	What would be the answer to that?
	Again, this does not pass the sniff test.
	Either A, it's completely false, or B, and this is why I said this doesn't exist in a closed loop circuit, oil companies were afraid to open up more drilling because of what they saw happening with this administration, because they saw the taxes increasing, because they saw that it would be less profitable, and not to mention we had an economic shutdown that had people traveling at record low levels.
	All of which is a direct result of this guy and his ilk.
	Why would they not be drilling?
	If you assume that they're corrupt and they only care about making more money, then you have to ask, why would they not do the one thing that would make the money?
	Oh, unless this guy's going to make it so that they can't make money.
	And guess what happens?
	That cost gets passed on to you.
	Is he saying anymore?
	Yeah, let's hear it.
	He's mumbling.
	Demented old circus monkey.
	That's clear.
	They'll defend their freedom, their democracy, their lives.
	And we're going to keep providing security assistance, economic assistance, and humanitarian assistance.
	We're going to support them against tyranny, oppression, violence... You mean like lockdowns and mandates?
	People everywhere, and I think it may even surprise some of you all, people everywhere are speaking up for freedom.
	On the history of this war is written... Not everywhere.
	Putin's war on Ukraine will have left Russia weaker and the rest of the world stronger.
	May God bless all those heroes in Ukraine.
	Now I'm off to Texas.
	Thank you very, very much.
	I know there's a lot of...
	He's always confused here because, you know, they tell me I shouldn't answer, but I feel like I can do it.
	There's always nine people yelling at me.
	It's like my dreams.
	Hold on, can I just recap one thing that we just heard a second ago?
	Please do, Gerald, because I'm angry.
	I know, you're angry, and this kind of pisses me off a little bit too, but he laid out the problem that gas prices are high right now, and they're going to get higher.
	Okay, you're Nostradamus, got it, right?
	Your solution that you just said, here's what we're doing.
	We released 60 million barrels of oil three days ago.
	Not from the United States.
	30 million came from our reserves.
	60 million globally.
	Right.
	That is Roughly two days of operation for the United States and China.
	Period.
	The top two oil-consuming countries, about 32 million barrels a day.
	That's your solution to the problem?
	No, I forgot more Priuses.
	No, no, no.
	The other part of his solution was blaming people for making any money as an oil company for selling it right now and raising their prices as price goes up.
	And then the third thing was, go out and buy an electric vehicle.
	Okay, so everybody in America right now should go out and spend an extra $50,000 to $60,000 on a car when they already have a car.
	How many years is it going to take to get that money back on the gas savings?
	I don't know, like 20, 30?
	Do you know what's worse for the environment if you currently have a car and you are currently driving that car, a car you already own?
	Do you know what's worse for the environment than to continue driving that car?
	Buying a new car!
	It's better for you to drive that into the ground than buy a new electric vehicle.
	If you want to do it because they're fun and they're fast, I get it.
	I rode in the Tesla thing.
	Very cool.
	Very cool.
	Awesome.
	There are some pretty cool cars, and I also like that they're made here in the United States, and that Elon Musk left California, who, by the way, also tried to force a transition to green energy.
	Think of that for a second.
	Elon Musk.
	Is there anyone who's done more for green energy or energy advancement, certainly as it relates to the automobile, than Elon Musk?
	And he had to leave California for Texas!
	That should tell you how this ends!
	That's incredible.
	That's our government fault right there.
	Well and it's a tax credit telling you to spend $60,000 on a car.
	Which is worse for the environment than just driving your car into the ground.
	The best thing you can do is just not purchase a new car, keep driving that one.
	I don't know how.
	But the idea of collapsing an entire country, well the world, for two years and then saying you need to go out and buy all this stuff is astonishing to me.
	The disconnect between the rich-ass politicians and everybody else in this country is insane to me.
	You don't need to be a crazy conspiracy theorist to understand the Great Reset.
	Let's just go through these steps here, OK?
	We have inflation.
	First off, he lies and he says there is no inflation.
	Then he says, well, inflation doesn't really matter.
	Then he says it's a good thing.
	Then he says, well, I'm going to fix this by keeping costs down.
	OK.
	Well, let's even go back before that, before we had the inflation.
	We had an economy that was shut down artificially because the government effectively punished companies.
	And we also had people who were getting wages.
	They were encouraged not to work.
	So we had a low labor force participation rate.
	We had an incredible jobless rate.
	By the way, we still have not added one new job.
	Since our peak of 2019.
	Not one over that, just to be clear.
	So we've not added any new jobs.
	We've had a net loss of jobs.
	We have record inflation.
	And by the way, all of this was created by the people who are here to help, the government.
	Their solution now is we're going to force prices to be lower.
	By the way, prices that you can't afford regardless, even if we had the power to force them to be lower.
	We're going to enact energy policy under the guise of climate justice that will He just said it.
	I'm not strawmanning him here.
	You can rewind this.
	85 seconds where he said the price of gas, the price of energy, ergo all goods and services that you use in your daily life, will go up.
	Well, trying to force you to buy or encourage you to buy cars, green cars, which are unbelievably more expensive than the average vehicle and certainly your old beater that you're driving.
	This is the solution at this point.
	And then vilify oil companies.
	Oh, and by the way, we also just declared BlackRock too big to fail.
	That's what Elizabeth Warren was pushing for.
	A 10, 12 trillion dollar company?
	How much are they right now?
	It's definitely 10 trillion or above who are buying up all the real estate so that they can create a permanent renter's economy because you will own nothing and you will like it.
	Everything will be out of reach.
	You can't afford it.
	They'll try and provide a credit so that you can maybe try and put yourself into more debt to purchase a new car that you don't need while you're renting from a house that is being leased.
	By one of the world's, not one of, arguably the world's most powerful company that has ever existed who, by the way, are guaranteed by you, the taxpayer.
	Doesn't matter if they go bankrupt and bail you out.
	You're going to bail them out anyway.
	You will own nothing and you will like it as we fight for freedom of Ukraine.
	Send our boys to war to fight for freedom in this Ukrainian conflict.
	Yeah, that's what we got to do.
	Okay, you mean freedom?
	What is freedom?
	Let's define what freedom is.
	Can we define what freedom is?
	The freedom to travel?
	The freedom to purchase any goods and services that you want, provided it's not harming anyone else or that it's illegal?
	The freedom to choose what goes into your own body?
	The freedom to, as an employer, allow your own employees to choose what goes into their own body.
	Think of how bastardized that is.
	When you talk about an employer mandate, it's not only forbidding people from choosing what is forcibly injected into them, it's actually telling employers that they're not even allowed to permit their own employees to make their decisions.
	You will own nothing and like it.
	You will have no freedoms and like it.
	And we'll send the rest of our soldiers off to fight wars In which we have no vested self-interest.
	This is the best and brightest.
	This is what you voted for.
	Everybody who voted for Joe Biden right now because they didn't like mean tweets.
	This is what you get.
	Not only that, this is what you get when you take a permanent ruling class of people who've been a revolving door of academics and those in government.
	When people always say, oh I like intelligentsia, we don't want intellectuals running our... No, you know what?
	No.
	No.
	Because Joe Biden is considered an intellectual.
	Why?
	Because he went to a good school, allegedly, and then has suckled at the government teat for 48 years.
	You know what?
	I would sooner take a plumber who created his own business, a successful business, who started as a contractor and created a business and went through that life experience, who actually wrote I'll just let that one sit.
	I'm just following the show.
	of them. I would sooner take that man as president than someone like a President Joe Biden or God
	forbid former Vice President Joe Biden or God forbid a President Kamala Harris whose greatest
	qualification was opening her legs for a mayor. I'll just let that one sit. I'm just following
	the show. I agree with you. Well look I know we're talking about some very serious topics.
	topics in Indian everything. Let's...
	Let's talk about that either behind the paywall.
	He's into weed and blenders.
	Yes.
	Is he a big one?
	Let's either talk about that behind the paywall or tomorrow.
	I want to make that macro point about driving India, Russia, China together in kind of this new world order.
	Do I need to bring this up here to follow you?
	No, no, no.
	We'll talk about that tomorrow.
	Oh, can we talk about it tomorrow?
	Yeah, let's talk about that tomorrow.
	I was going to say, because this just happened live, and I think that we just hit what we needed to.
	No, you're right.
	Look, you just experienced this in real time.
	Yesterday.
	Go watch yesterday's show.
	This is an exercise that I want everyone to do if you can.
	If you care about this program at all, or if you want to be able to defend when people say, oh, Dave and I make offensive jokes, look.
	Go to yesterday's show.
	Watch what we discuss.
	We discuss energy.
	We discuss energy policy.
	We discuss energy costs.
	And we discuss what was most likely to happen.
	Then today, we showed you their playbook.
	And not six minutes later, they came up and used it.
	That's what changed my mind.
	That's why we do this show.
	That's why all references are publicly available at lightearthcreditor.com.
	It's not about a tit-for-tat.
	It's not about a quadrant view with people who look like they're from Lemony Snicket's on CNN scoring a few points.
	It's about learning how to think.
	If you can learn how to learn, if you can learn how to think, that's why I wanted to go through that in real time.
	Wait, wait, wait, hold on a second.
	They have all of this access to oil, these evil profiteering oil companies, but they're not drilling?
	Why?
	If I serve no other purpose for the rest of my life, and they are few and far between, it is hopefully that you learn how to not only think, but learn how to learn.
	And everyone learns differently.
	But it starts with looking at everything that is being fed to you, especially through authoritative figures, through a critical lens and asking, why?
	Why?
	Like a four-year-old, why?
	Why?
	Why?
	It starts with asking why.
	If you ask why to everything he just said, Well, guess what?
	You'll find the answers in two shows here within the last 48 hours.
	We're about to go discuss pedophile vigilantism.
	Not pedophile vigilantes.
	Oh, that's terrifying.
	No, vigilantes against pedophiles.
	Smash the like button.
	Leave a comment.
	As to what you think the why is below.
	That's the best thing you can do for the YouTube algorithm, which doesn't like us anyway.
	They're not paying us anything.
	All right, YouTube, we're about to go discuss something that I know you hate.
	Our dislike for pedophiles.
	Sorry, I mean half your staff.
