WHAT THE HELL is Going On in Taiwan?! | Louder with Crowder
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
June 18th, Pikes Peak Center, Colorado Springs, Colorado.
Prepares for the funniest show on earth.
Hold on, I'm gonna pull a U-ey.
That's how I say U-turn.
U-ey!
A U-ey!
So you think that guy's gonna tell on us?
Yui.
I'm sorry.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 🎵Mario Kart 8-1-1 Theme🎵
🎵Mario Kart 8-1-1 Theme🎵 🎵Mario Kart 8-1-1 Theme🎵
Mmm.
That's the sound of Monday.
Yeah.
I mean, it's the sound of every day.
Pretty much.
Yeah, that's true.
But you haven't been with us over the weekend, which I should let you know because we're going to be talking about Monkey Box.
Monkey Boxing.
I'm sure it happened somewhere in Thailand.
No, no, no.
You box him.
Go uppercut, hook, left, right.
Not where my mind went.
And Monkey Pox, which is, hint, right now primarily a thing with the gays.
So, if we are not on YouTube, of course, you can watch this stream on Rumble, Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m.
Eastern, and we have an additional 45 minutes to an hour every day on Mug Club, Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m.
Eastern.
We never know when we get removed from YouTube.
It's just like a surprise that's smiling at me in my inbox.
That's what you want to say.
So we will be talking about monkeypox today.
Everything you need to know.
First off, most of you right now don't really need to worry about it.
What you need to worry about is the media lying, and you need to worry about the CDC lying, and you need to worry about former Vice President Joe Biden being retarded.
Those are the primary concerns.
But I will say this, if you haven't taken part in any, how should I say this, and if you have kids I should warn you that we're going to be discussing the realities of monkey pox today so it's probably not age appropriate, so three, two, if you haven't been attending Fetish gay orgies in Brussels where you're raw-dogging strange Somali pirates.
You're probably fine.
Excuse me, I have to go to the doctor.
Yes.
Well, the problem is his pirate is a Somali doctor.
Ah.
Your pox belong to mine now.
Your pox belong to me.
So we're going to be talking about that.
We're going to be talking about Taiwan, which is a big deal.
You know, we've done, I recommend that you go watch this segment that we did a long time ago on what a war between China and Taiwan would look like and what the United States needs to do.
Again, your primary concern here is that former Vice President Joe Biden has been saying things that don't match up with other things that don't match up with the State Department and none of it makes sense.
And again, the concern is, you know, primarily mental retardation.
So my question to you for the day is, would you rather get monkey pox Or spend a weekend with Kamala Harris.
So monkey pox or herpes?
Guessing.
Allegedly.
Allegedly.
Half the city council.
Possibly monkey pox or monkey pox and herpes.
Mr. Mayor Willie Brown, can we ask you about the city council herpes epidemic?
I have no idea!
Why do you keep holding in your lip and covering your mouth when you talk?
I don't know.
I'm excited!
Anybody got a breather?
All right.
Can you kiss my baby?
No, let's not do that.
Baby just turns around looking like the elephant man.
All right, before we move on with all that, Gerald A. is here.
Glad to have you with us.
How are you, sir?
I am well, sir.
How are you?
Okay, I have a little bit of a scratchy throat.
Yeah.
I don't think it's monkey pox because I haven't been How are you?
I was better until I screwed up the connection with the Blaze.
That's why we started late.
I kicked it right here because you made me angry and I know that I need to learn how to deal with my anger.
It's not that you won't like him when he's angry, he's just very annoying when he's angry.
He's catty.
He's bitchy.
He's monkey pox carrier-like.
How dare you.
And then you know him, you see him, you love him, you can hear him, you can follow him on Twitter at LandauDave, the quickest wit in the West, the quickest man on his feet, and we're going to be on tour here in Colorado Springs.
Is it June 18th?
June 18th.
But a lot of Scotty.com slash tour.
There are, I think, like a couple hundred tickets left.
It's effectively a morning show because we couldn't get the venue late.
Feels like it.
Yeah.
How are you?
Ahoy.
Good.
How about you?
I was laying you up for ahoy.
Ahoy.
No monkey pox?
Not at the moment.
I thought we had a vaccine against monkey pox.
Against smallpox.
Oh, but not against Monkeypop.
No, it works.
Oh, because I thought I've been vaccinated.
You may have.
Yeah.
Again, it's not really a concern for you or for me.
Unless they're lying.
This is the thing.
Well, we'll get to it.
It could be mutated.
Right.
You know, and that's one of those things where we don't know if the CDC is lying or Biden is lying because they're not saying the same thing.
Or both!
Who knows?
Or both.
Could be third option.
I don't know.
I think we need to interrogate all of the people who were at that gay fetish festival, like the next 48.
Steven, it's just a festival.
Is this Chicken Pox?
I don't understand.
Yeah, you see the next 48, where they always interrogate people?
You know, just ask them, like, hey, twink dog, did you see Lube Bear yesterday?
Like, I don't know nothing about Lube Bear!
Why are you covering Monkey Pox?
I mean, we hung out once.
My penis is now ribbed.
What's wrong with Pox?
Chicken?
I got, I got, I don't have, I got two pox.
Alright, let's go to this before that because we want a little bit of levity.
Although there'll be plenty of levity with monkey pox, let's be honest.
We're mostly fine.
This guy here, oh I always love this, you know, they cancelled cop so we bring it to you.
This guy almost got away with vandalizing a cop car.
And by almost, I mean not at all.
Yeah, throw the punch.
And then he gets, watch, pepper sprayed?
Oh man.
That's the problem with pepper spray is black guys can run faster than fat white cops.
Yes, that's true.
But here's the thing.
When you do too many drugs... Oh!
It is blinding.
I love how he could have very easily recovered, but gave up.
It's like, ah!
Ah, damn!
Ah!
Ah!
Screw it, I'll stay here.
Why didn't you show Alfonso Ribeiro giving him the ten grand?
Yes!
That's awesome!
What are you in for?
Whoa!
You're the guy!
You hit the pole!
Hey guys!
You hit the pole, Leece, then you hit the pole!
The cops are just like, we got him.
It's like, kinda.
Kinda.
Like he ran into a pole.
I chased him down.
We have video footage.
Well, a pole.
Hey!
Hey!
Hey, Carl!
It's the guy who hit that!
Yeah, the one who hit it like the Flintstones!
Like, dong!
That motherblader!
He's right in here!
That's not the only pole.
Welcome to jail.
I heard you like poles.
That's it.
That's right.
Also pepper spray.
We got some spicy Latin King.
I like to stab.
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
Why would you try to vandalize a cop car in broad daylight like they're not nearby in a crowded area?
Oh, I'm sorry.
That's just wonderful.
I mean, he's probably talking trash as he's running away.
Yeah.
Gotta pick your moment, though.
That's not your time to shine.
No, I'm surprised.
But again, I'm surprised he didn't get up.
No.
And run away.
Because you would think him committing that crime, it's so stupid that he would have to be on some mind-altering substance like PCP or something, that that would allow him to recover very quickly.
So I can't make heads or tails of it.
All I know is it's a feel-good story of the year.
It really is, yes.
Justice was served.
Although those cops need to do some cardiovascular activity.
Let's go, guys.
They didn't even, what was that, 30 yards?
Yeah, the guy just gives up.
He's like eight steps in and he's like, just go.
It's like the Detroit Lions defense.
They're like, ah, he's two feet ahead of me.
I'll let him go.
We all know we're not going to win.
We're insured.
I'm not pulling a hammy for that guy.
I don't give a rat's ass.
They've defunded us as it is.
I don't, you know.
Whatever.
It's the shoe of the day.
We don't have the insoles anymore.
My knees are bad.
Could have gone pro.
Yep.
It's not worth the bunion damage.
Gonna go back.
I need a knife when I get to the corns.
All right.
This is something that's new to, well, not new.
Maybe new to you guys, but Twitter.
But it's near and dear to Dave's heart.
Now, again, we'll be in Colorado Springs June 18th.
And Dave has some shows coming up this weekend.
You can see all of them at livewithcreditor.com slash tour.
We have a big fall tour we'll be announcing too.
So, you know, comedians being attacked on stage is kind of a big thing physically.
But even more than that, it's just comedians now, there's this constant fear of performing and fear of backlash and they have to take all these measures of making sure that people aren't taking video and taking pictures or, you know, shooting them.
So John Mulaney, this has been happening and now he's under fire because his, and this is a quote from on Twitter, his trans fans felt ambushed.
We're not talking about the Brussels Festival.
When Dave Chappelle went on stage as one of the opening acts, now he did a drop-in set.
Yes, he came in because he lives near Columbus, Ohio.
You know, Yellow Springs.
Right.
And popped in and gave them extra comedy.
Right.
And so people were mad about free comedy from one of the greatest comedians of all time because they claimed that, you know, he made jokes about trans people and they were like, if we'd have known it never would have come.
We came to see John Mulaney not to be assaulted.
So the claim from one audience...
Remember, was that the opening joke was grotesquely transphobic.
He made a joke about when he was attacked, how the guy had a knife that looks like a gun.
Or the other way around, he said that maybe it was the knife that identified as a gun.
Okay, so firstly, that's a perfect joke.
Yes.
I'm surprised that people are offended at that.
In other words, if you can't joke about a gun identifying as a knife or a knife identifying as a gun, you can never make jokes about the trans community at all.
Period.
That's as harmless of a joke as you can possibly get.
And by the way, he's joking about someone who tried to stab him.
Correct.
Tried to murder him with a knife.
But hang on now, it was a knife jammed into a plastic gun.
We don't know how the knife or gun did identify.
That's true.
I smell intolerance.
All hail Rudy!
Well, you're right.
Rudy!
Except the Rudy thing.
Rudy!
Not Rudy.
What's that?
Oh, hold on a second.
I guess you're telling me the gun slash knife released a statement.
Yes.
Okay, well I'll read it.
It says, I shouldn't have taken part in the attempted murder of Dave Chappelle.
Praise Allah, LA County didn't press charges.
The worst crime here is being misgendered.
I was born a knife, but my whole life struggled and felt like a gun.
That's why I was wearing the skin of a firearm.
Calling me a knife or gun slash knife is weapons phobic.
I identify as a gun.
That is who I am.
Wow, dude!
Boy, do you have egg on your face.
I think apology is in order.
I would think so, Dave.
Okay.
Alright.
I'm sorry.
I didn't mean to hurt any feelings.
That person clearly meant to stab Dave Chappelle with a gun.
Better.
Much better.
Yeah.
That makes sense.
The people at John Mulaney paid for comedy and they were upset that they got comedy.
That's the story, folks.
I get that.
I once ordered a burger and got a burger.
It was dehumanizing and that is when I began cutting myself.
Yeah, you know, I don't talk about it a whole lot, but a tragic thing happened when I ordered a pizza one time and they brought me pizza.
Yeah.
Did you start by paper cuts on your inner thighs?
Uh, it was more, it was forearms.
Oh, yeah.
And it's just so I can feel something.
I understand.
I also started cutting the pizza, um, because I didn't do a good job with the slicer.
That's true.
And I don't know if it was a slicer, it could have been a gun shaped like a slicer.
Yeah, you don't know.
I hate all of you right now.
But the only thing I would like to do is cut to the chase.
Admonish him.
He's not having fun.
Come on!
Alright, admonish him.
Did you say cut to the chase?
I said we kill him.
Admonish!
Look, look, here's one thing, too.
This is circulating.
I want to be clear about this.
We'll probably bring it back on Mug Club.
There's a circulating clip of George Carlin, where people are saying, if you want to know what George Carlin would say, and it's him talking about Andrew Dice Clay, saying, you know, I feel like he's targeting the marginalized, immigrants, women, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
Okay, far be it from me to defend Andrew Dice Clay.
Here's the thing.
I get that the idea here with comedy is you are supposed to attack those in positions of authority.
You don't want to punch down.
I think that all targets are within the limits, except for the helpless.
So for example, someone who is literally mentally disabled, specifically, or unable to defend themselves, it just doesn't necessarily go over well, but I'm not going to complain if somebody does it.
So everything is fair game except for the helpless.
But if you want to talk about punching up, Look, look, are we actually going to act as though the LGBTQAAIP plus bully pulpit is not in a position of wielding disproportionate power?
You want to know how we know that they are?
Look at any other stand-up special or any Netflix show that exists, and it constantly bitches about patriarchy and the white male.
And the very fact that That Dave Chappelle made a joke about a knife identifying as a gun and it becoming a controversy tells you that this isn't punching down.
Well, yeah, about him almost being murdered.
And what people fail to see is at the time, Dice was punching down to the marginalized.
That's true.
Nowadays, that's punching up.
Right.
This is the only time where the people that have the most power claim to be victims.
Right.
This is the only time it seems in history.
Well, and of that alphabet soup that you just listed, the T's are definitely in charge.
Yes.
Right?
There's almost no other group right now being talked about.
Even the gay pride parades and festivals are headed by T's most of the time.
Right.
So it's like, nary a G to be found.
Well, also, if you're going to go in order of, you know, percentage, it should be G-L-B-T.
But of course, it's always ladies first, and so they get right up there and are like, No, we munch carpets!
Like, fine.
LGBT.
Good.
I think we just drop the B. I mean, it seems redundant.
I think we just drop all the L's off at the Lesbos Island.
There's an island named after this.
Or Bass Pro.
You know, they have a steakhouse in there or something.
What about LL?
Lipstick.
Oh, I thought we were talking about the Cool J. Deep Blue Sea.
LL Cool J. You ate my bird.
I don't know what's happening.
Speaking of which, let's move on to monkey pox.
And I do have a question for you.
How much do you know about monkey pox?
Obviously right now it's sort of circulating in the media, and I know that a lot of people are feeling as though it could be a repeat of the COVID.
Right? Where people are saying, oh no, they're starting to stir up some kind of concern here
as we go into an election because it doesn't seem like the riots really worked. They didn't
last very long. Right. This is, you really notice a pattern of sowing division. This is what happens
from the left as they go into an election. Whereas what happens is they blame the right
of sowing division after an election. After they've sown division.
Right, exactly.
That's usually what happens.
So, um, you know, you think about it.
It was like Black Lives Matter.
Riot.
Burned down cities.
They shouldn't stop rioting, as Kamala Harris said.
And then you see the terrorists on the right who were saying, wait, hold on a second, you can't go against the state constitution and just allow mass unrequested mail-in ballots.
I don't know which one.
I think we can see who the bad guys are here.
Violence.
Oh, it's not the guys burning down Walgreens and shooting cops.
My mistake.
No, no, that's different.
I'm so, I just, I get so confused.
They don't identify as violent.
No, they don't.
Right.
They don't identify as the pricks.
They identify as peaceful.
And so do, so does the media.
Yeah.
And their fires identify as cold.
Yes.
A cold front, if you will.
Yes, exactly.
Yes, it happens inside of shops.
It's like Heatmiser putting on Jack Frost makeup.
I am a mostly peaceful fire, Steven.
He's Mr. Heatmiser.
Okay, monkey pox.
Yes.
Monkeypox!
All right.
First, let me tell you, you probably don't need to worry based on what we know about monkeypox historically.
But there could be some information they're not telling you, so I want to get to everything.
This is going to be a little bit nerdy here.
So first, monkeypox is here.
We rolled out the rainbow carpet and Joe Biden said that everybody should be concerned about it.
Everybody should be concerned about.
What level of concern should be about monkeypox in the cases that are in the United States and around the world?
Well, they haven't told me the level of exposure yet, but it is something that everybody should be concerned about.
Everybody should be concerned about.
We'll figure out what we do and what vaccine, if any, may be available for it.
But it is a concern in the sense that if it weren't spread, it's consequential.
Okay. Remember when Bill Murray and Scrooge has his boss come back and the mouse crawls out of the back of his head?
That is seriously that right there.
I don't mind if you shoot me, but go easy on the Bacardi.
The hair's the same.
I know.
It is.
Exactly.
Someone bring that up from Scrooge.
We'll have it on Mocha, where the rat crawls out with the golf ball.
Okay, so he says everybody should be concerned about it.
As of May 21st, 92 cases have been confirmed.
28 suspected cases got globally under investigation.
In the U.S., it's like one to five cases.
Yeah, so not a whole lot yet.
No, the end days are upon us.
Not yet.
Just in time for June 1st.
Look behind you.
There's the horseman.
Yes.
There's the monkey-pocked gay horseman.
Now, let me be clear about this, and it's not, and if you have kids they shouldn't watch this segment.
So if you comment below too, I would really, did you know about the gay thing with monkeypox?
Because it took me a long while, I was like, wasn't the monkeypox the gay thing?
I looked all around on YouTube, I was like, I can't find the gay thing!
And then I realized, okay, there's the gay thing.
So the current outbreak, it's spreading in a new way from how monkeypox has before.
The gay community, I want to be careful, just the G, seems to be at an elevated risk.
So the UK Health Security Agency epidemiologist Matteo Prozacca said, the high proportion of cases in the current outbreak in England that are gay or bisexual is highly suggestive of spread in sexual networks.
Sexual networks?
Yeah, I would say so.
If it's 60% are gay when they make up a certain percentage of the population.
If it's G.E.T.
television?
Yes.
You guys have networks?
It's just pornography.
Oh, right.
What do you think?
You ever look at gay- There are no gay boating magazines.
No gay camping magazines.
It's not like gay paintball.
It's just, oh, you're looking for the gay magazines.
You, me, we'll go through those swinging doors, sir.
Guy with wedding ring?
Yes.
You're a cowboy.
Go through.
Enter.
With pictures of his kids in his wallet.
Queer fancy.
That's not a thing.
Guy who looks nervous.
Wearing a mask still.
Gay week.
All right.
National homo review.
My point is, it's not just like the gay thing.
It's a hyper-sexualized culture.
It's okay, because it's largely men, and men like having sex with things.
Now, Dr. Susan Hopkins, the chief medical advisor, also for the same UKHSA, I'm just going to use that to abbreviate it, it's too long, wrote, the evidence suggests that there may be transmission of the monkeypox virus in the community spread by close contact.
Close contact could be anybody.
Is that the six feet like COVID?
Yeah.
That's how you avoid monkey pox, with a yardstick.
Like a junior high dance.
Well, unless you have a yardstick in your pants, then you're gonna touch monkey pox.
Their yardsticks are not in their pants.
So this is where the festival comes in, as far as how monkey pox has begun spreading now.
It's existed historically.
But why now?
That's the question you should be asking.
Why now?
Well, many outlets have been sort of quietly reporting on these outbreaks saying that it came from a fest- like a festival.
Maybe, and the farthest they go is like a fetish festival.
Yeah.
Here's the thing.
It's, uh, the Darklands Festival in, uh, what's the name of the place right outside of, uh, Brussels?
The name, uh, uh, I forgot the name of the city.
It's right outside.
It's near Brussels.
Antwerp.
Antwerp.
Uh, Darklands Festival.
Darklands.
That's fitting.
And this is what it looks like.
The Dark Holes Festival.
Well, hold on a second.
Do you have the pictures from the festival there, Kevin?
Bring up the pictures.
By the way, Tokunawa just got married, so he's on a honeymoon, so we have Kevin here.
Do you have the pictures from the festival?
He's visiting the wetlands.
I don't think they have those.
Thank you.
Alright, guys, get us the pictures from the Dark Holes Festival, because that really drives it home.
No, they allow cameras.
Do they really?
They're looking at the cameras as they spread monkey pox.
Are you serious?
Yeah.
I'm glad you said spread and monkey pox.
I raw-dogged nine Somali pirates at this festival, and all I got was this stupid pox.
So here's a description of the festival.
Camp Canine at Darklands is dedicated to pups and their handlers with a giant ball pit, mosh area, and plenty of puppy play equipment on hand.
Just to be clear, there are no actual dogs.
Wow.
I just want to be clear.
When they're like, it might have spread at this festival.
Yeah, where they have ball pits and puppy play.
Yes, without dogs.
Without dogs.
Is this like the congressman on a leash?
It's weird sex stuff, Gerald.
It's weird sex stuff.
This entire segment is uncomfortable because I don't know what's going to get us removed.
It's weird sex stuff at a gay festival!
Please be sure to pick up after your idiot.
Yes.
Oh my gosh, no.
That requires a cleanup crew and a hazmat suit.
It says choose whether you'll join as a blindfolded mayor Bottom, or Hungry Stallion?
Top, in parentheses.
A team of Stablemasters will take care of the safety of the Mayors.
Well, seems someone didn't do their job!
That's called horseplay, by the way.
That's what they called it, not me.
What'd you do this weekend, Somali pirate son?
I was just horsing around.
Just playing.
I had a crop.
Riding crop.
With Don Lemon.
So the media says it's a festival.
It's a festival.
Guys, get us those pictures right now.
Right now, guys!
Whale fun!
Is that really a festival?
It's not really a festival.
It's just an orgy.
It's just a ball pit of gay men horses.
Yeah, gay men horses.
And dogs.
And also the irony, they're like, I'm a mare.
No, you're not.
You're not a mare.
You're not a mare.
It's only stallions.
That's the problem.
He's just playing one.
And he's using the term stallions is very generous.
So there's a 7 to 14 day incubation picture.
Okay, so let's bring up the pictures that always... Yeah, there you go.
Oh!
Well, I'm still confused.
That's just a music festival, right?
Yeah.
It's just like, who's... You went to Van's Warped Tour?
A couple I did and, you know, I always remember the leather chokers.
I went to, of course, when I went to Bonnaroo and saw bands like Ween and, you know, Prime.
In raw-dogging Nigerian princes.
Of course, I wore only a leather cup.
Yes!
It's not even really a cup, it's more of a saucer with a hole in it.
Yes, yeah, there's no cup to actually protect from anything.
So look, here's the thing, they are tripping over themselves in the media right now to say, well it looks like it's spreading in the gay community, but without it, without saying it's spreading in the gay community, it's because it's very important, even though statistically, this is something that could be very easily solved as far as the spread right now.
Okay?
Because it's not just spread, it's not like the AIDS thing, it's not like, you know, or it's primarily spread through homosexual activity, which we know now.
It's that right now it happened to be spread at an event where people were having a bunch of gay sex.
So it could make its way out of that sort of incubated petri dish.
We can address that pretty quickly.
We'll talk about it.
It's called ring vaccination, where basically you can just vaccinate, as opposed to, you know, quarantining healthy people.
Quarantining the sick people, vaccinating the sick people, which you can do with the smallpox vaccine.
We'll get to that.
However, we have to balance that, the science, without making people feel bad.
Just listen to Sky News.
One unusual aspect of this is that a high proportion of the cases are gay or bisexual men.
Also known as gay.
And it's important to say that this is not a disease that's likely to be spread by sex, and it's likely to have nothing to do with sexuality.
Oh, that's good.
But health authorities are trying to raise awareness in men that they need to be aware of the symptoms
because it may be spreading within a sexual network. Men who are having sex with other men
who may be at risk simply because of direct and intimate skin-to-skin contact.
Need you to elaborate.
He just jumps on a man-horse.
trying to raise awareness. But that has to be balanced, of course, against any potential stigma.
This could affect anybody, but at the moment they are very concerned about spreading within the gay and bisexual
community in particular.
It has to be balanced with the stigma of accurate science.
Do tell, why is it that the gay sexual contact seems to spread it more?
It's not so much... It's not so... Listen.
Careful with the stigma.
It's not so much the gay sex as it is the volume of sexual activity with gay men.
Having sex with lots of men.
Think of it this way.
Look, remove all moral barriers, right?
You're a straight man.
I want you to think about this for a second.
Think of every attractive woman who you thought, if you weren't married, if you weren't faithful.
Remove all moral barriers, okay?
For a moment, Richard.
Every attractive woman that you've ever wanted to have sex with, right?
Now, For a gay man, that's every other man.
And with attractive straight women, right, you want to have sex with her, but she's saying no, no, no, no, maybe.
For gay men, it's yes, yes, yes, all at the same time.
That's why it spreads so fast!
It's not pay-it-forward.
According to this chart here... With no condom.
It's doo-doo and bleedin'.
That's the way it primarily spreads.
Now, Belgium has recorded its fourth case of monkeypox.
All four cases have been linked to the Darklands Festival.
Yeah, by the way, the political article that was covering specifically that was saying, uh, this, this festival gathering in May.
They didn't even say fetish festival or anything.
We don't want to stigmatize it!
Right, like back when Oprah said, based on Fauci's intel, that one in five heterosexual couples would, uh, would be affected by AIDS.
Heterosexuals would die of AIDS!
Oh man, I was soft-pedaling it!
You were!
Both of them were in there!
Oprah said they were gonna... You go die!
Basically.
She said one in five are gonna die?
Yeah, that's the quote that we found.
Wow.
But look under your seat, you all have PREV PILLS!
Open season!
Which, by the way, I have to tell you, looking up this monkey pox stuff, I went down a really dark rabbit hole on the internet of all these gay blogs talking about monkey pox.
So when they were talking about it and saying, like, with the PREV pill, it's been sex in New York City for a gay man, like, 1979, before the AIDS epidemic.
But now I have to be worried about intestinal parasites and monkey pox, and we're just going, ugh.
Yeah, me too.
I think I have carpal tunnel now.
Yes!
Canter X.
And a screen that's not as clear as it once was.
My laptop's broken.
Portugal has recorded at least 21 confirmed cases, okay?
And some of those link Portugal to Belgium's Darklands Festival.
All right, Spain also has 21 confirmed cases.
Most of them linked to a gay sauna.
And I guess Fauci has a new job.
Also known as a sauna.
Yeah.
But Fauci has a new part-time job, I guess.
Is that...?
Yeah.
Then?
Did we get that?
No.
Oh, there we go.
69, geez!
Again, we're short-staffed today.
I'm doing research.
Again, in gay saunas.
Really?
Oh, there's a new gay bug?
I'm gonna hurry up and not cure it.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, yay, all the cover I need.
Oh, goody.
Oh boy, you guys are gonna be a bunch of white flags 20 years from now!
You're sitting there with this notepad, like, what are you doing?
I like to watch!
Yeah.
I'm a voyeur of your dying.
Please, show me how you get it again.
I didn't see it the first time.
Yes, I didn't see it the first time.
Just ignore me in the corner.
Oh, I've just turned into a towel rack.
Wait, wait, wait.
Are you the mayor or the stallion?
I confused the two.
It's sort of like, you know, A, C, D, C, but they're both D, C. They're both A, C.
How?
I don't understand how this functions.
And it's like, well let us show you.
He's like, I'm very curious.
So, did you bring a cooler in here?
Yes, it's bad sandwiches.
Would you like one?
Yeah.
Tuna on rye.
Got smoked salmon and capers.
Oh boy.
So now we have other countries that are experiencing outbreaks.
Okay, the UK, 21 to 30 cases.
America, 1 to 5 cases.
Canada, 1 to 5.
11 to 20 suspected.
One came through Montreal, who allegedly also was at the Dark Lens Festival.
Here's the thing, it's not necessarily gay sex, unlike AIDS, HIV, which is almost entirely gay sex, or intravenous drug use.
It's that it seems to have spread where the gay behavior was prevalent.
One person was at this festival who came from one of those countries where they, and by one of those countries I mean crap hole countries, where this actually still exists and is rampant, and then probably had sex with like, I don't know, 40 guys at the festival, and that's how it spread.
Just taking a wild guess, I'm ballparking it.
Well it's a three-day festival, you do the math, I mean that's likely.
I think ball-parking was the problem.
Yes, exactly.
Ball-pupping is the term they use.
A five-day festival?
It's a five-day festival.
Gotta go up.
Oh, for crying out loud.
Why do you need five days of that?
Yeah, especially when you consider the refractory periods.
It's just bad.
And it's spreading everywhere.
Like a virus.
It's hard to tell somebody that something hurts when all you can do is bark.
We shouldn't have made our safe word woof, or nay.
So what is monkey pox, to give you some... All you think you can eat is carrots?
Nobody's eating them?
So what is monkey pox?
Well, okay, it's a zoonotic disease endemic to Western Central Africa.
The same family as smallpox.
Much less severe than smallpox, to be clear.
So people who are trying to scare you right now, the strain that we currently know about, it has a mortality rate of less than 1%.
But we all know how the left feels about things that are less than 1% likely to kill you!
I'm not going to say what it is.
Yeah, destroy your lives?
Yeah, lock down the entire planet, right?
Well, thankfully, the other one has a mortality rate up to about 10 percent, the other strain.
The monkey pox?
Yeah, the monkey pox.
I guess they call it clads or whatever it is.
Well, here's the thing.
We got lucky on this one.
You have the former Vice President Joe Biden saying one thing, and then the CDC saying, well, you really shouldn't be concerned.
It's tough to know who to believe.
Now, at one point they were saying, this looks like it spread from a gay festival, but then they're saying, but it's not necessarily spread through that method of contact, because what we could be dealing with, to be clear, is we could be dealing with a mutated form of this virus.
Now, that's why it's pretty hard to trust them, because if this is, perhaps, I don't know, like, in some hypothetical scenario, a weaponized mutation of the virus to make it more transmissible, To make it more deadly, then it's difficult to take anything that's being said right now at face value.
The truth is, monkeypox is not aerosol.
It's not like COVID in that same way.
That's why they were saying that you shouldn't be nearly as worried.
It's primarily transmitted from skin-to-skin contact, lesions, which again still begs the question, why is it still like, you know, skin lesions?
I mean, you know.
strange people too. It's the volume. It's the number. Yeah, but this is precisely the problem
that we have with not being able to trust our institutions because now they've lied to us.
We know that they were wrong. How about I just say it that way about certain things within COVID.
And so now... I thought you were going to say AIDS. No, no, well that too.
I'm gonna go something more recent.
Ebola.
Yeah, exactly.
So now we don't trust them, so if monkeypox was a true threat, you're screwed, because people are like, nah, you've been saying this guy is falling for too long now, and it's not.
Right.
And now that we know that it's probably not, they shouldn't be out here.
Well, it's also not new.
So there was a 2003 outbreak of monkeypox, 47 confirmed cases, or probable cases, according to the CDC.
This was in 2003, and it was the first time that monkeypox was reported outside of Africa.
But it was here, good for us.
We get a trophy for the first place.
Well, you know, we're importing.
Ah!
Yes.
Nice.
Because to appropriate is to appreciate.
Which, by the way, June is Cultural Appropriation Month.
I forgot.
I cannot wait.
Send in your favorite, you know, comment below.
Send in your favorite countries that you want to see this year.
I completely forgot about cultural appropriation.
It always just sneaks up on us.
Also known as Ban from YouTube Month.
Yes.
Now, this came from infected rodents from Ghana, and all of the confirmed cases back in 2003 were from contact with prairie dogs that were bought as pets.
Don't do that.
Who's buying prairie dogs as pets?
This is even before the show on Discovery.
Oh my god.
Richard Gere?
Yeah.
It's like, this germ is just not doing it anymore.
Go prairie dogging!
Give me that big one.
Took them, like, years to figure out.
Is it coming from the prairie dog or the empty toilet paper roll filled with dryer sheets?
We don't know.
Now, in 2021, there was one case in Texas, a man again returning from Nigeria.
In 2021, Maryland had one traveler also returning from Nigeria, but right now no one has died from it.
So, again, how does it spread?
Do we need vaccines?
Just so you guys understand, as opposed to fear porn, There's been a push again now that you're seeing from people who are uninformed to what?
To what?
To what?
To mask up!
Let me read you a quote from the New York City Health Department's CDC.
Masks can protect against monkeypox, as well as other viruses circulating in New York City, such as COVID-19.
Well, there you go.
I mean, come on, it's not so much about the monkeypox.
You're just, I mean, just hitching it.
Oh, if you put the mask on your lesion-riddled penis?
Yes.
Even then, it's too porous.
You're telling me.
Are you doing a puppet show?
Again, it's not aerosolized like COVID, even though they told us that it wasn't, and they said that it was, and they said it wasn't, and they said that it was.
Why don't you trust your institutions?
Bodily fluids, lesions, you know, touching the lesions, skin-on-skin contact, it's not nearly as contagious.
Now, here's something else.
People are talking about large-scale vaccinations.
You saw they just purchased in their stockpiling vaccinations a smallpox vaccine.
Here's the thing.
We don't need large-scale vaccinations.
It's a very, very silly idea.
I know we don't want to stigmatize people, but what you do with something like this is called ring vaccination.
That's the current standard of care.
Again, we're talking about science.
And what does ring vaccination mean?
What does that mean?
That means the close contacts of people who've been infected with monkeypox, right?
You vaccinate them and you cut off any routes of transmission.
Look, let's be honest.
What could have happened is this started in Belgium, this Puppy, mare, bear, stallion, weird gay sex orgy, okay, that took place for five days, quarantine all those people, all the people that could have possibly had sex with, case closed!
Done!
But we don't want to stigmatize!
We should definitely stigmatize.
Oh my gosh, this isn't a problem.
The problem is Joe Biden going out and saying everybody should be concerned about this.
Because people have, we're all still a little bit nervous from what just happened.
And it's not that we'll necessarily get sick and die, it's that our government is going to do something stupid and end the world again.
We just went through that.
Nobody wants to go back.
Of course he was concerned.
Hunter was at the festival.
To be fair, though, he wasn't taking, he was just dealing.
That's true.
Well, he lost five laptops at this festival, though, so lots of great information coming out soon.
And he also filled them up with all of the information while there.
Do you have, like, a frequent buyers program with laptops?
He's like, ah, I'm back for another one, geez.
I just keep dropping them everywhere.
Just uses his monkey pox platinum card.
Some stupid stallion stole it from me.
I get points!
I get points for every lesion.
So, look, according to... I think Bernard took it.
Courtney just kept saying woof, but he looked terrified.
It was the guy who kept following him.
So according to health officials... Little barrels under its neck.
You're like, this isn't water.
He just opened it up.
He says a letter for help.
He just opens just a picture of that St.
Bernard with that guy.
This didn't help me at all.
It's you.
Just a self-portrait.
Like a locket.
At least the music's terrible.
Yeah.
No better way to spread monkey pox than gay orgy in house.
Is that Moby dressed like a dachshund?
According to health officials, you can relax a little bit.
Some of them now.
So it goes against what Biden said.
Here you go.
There's no need to panic here.
This is not going to spread and get into the general population and cause an epidemic like coronavirus has.
Now, just to be clear, just because he looks like his immune system is falling out of the rest of his body does not mean that he is not an authoritative source.
So how do you avoid monkeypox?
It's pretty clear.
Just so, again, I want to help you.
Don't go to gay orgies.
You know, get bitten by rodents.
Or get a prairie dog as a pet.
That's it.
That's it.
You probably won't get monkeypox.
There you go.
Well, that's impossible.
Just, you know, stay away from your- I know.
That's always what I do.
Just tell me not to breathe.
Yes.
Tell a sparrow not to sing!
Tell an eagle not to be majestic.
Yes.
Good luck.
But would a monkey pox riddled golden doodle by any other name still be as riddled?
God.
I just am so disgusted.
Antwerp in May.
Stay away from Antwerp.
Is there going to be another flood soon enough?
Do we think?
I mean, I think it's fire and brimstone.
That's right.
We're due.
He sort of staggers them, don't you?
Does a man wearing a dog collar not bleed the same as you?
I mean, imagine them writing about that in the Old Testament.
From different places, sure.
It's like, Lord, what if I find ten good men?
Uh, you're gonna need a little bit more than that, considering that they're wearing chokers and having sex to Enya for five days.
Gonna need a little more than 10 good men.
You know what?
I'm just gonna turn the whole city into salt.
It's gonna look like Superman's dad's bachelor pad.
How about that?
This guy's wearing horseshoes and a light-up unicorn hat.
Yeah.
Lord, this doesn't seem that bad right now, trust me.
In a couple thousand years, you'll understand.
Right?
You know what I hate?
Sticky shoes.
Yeah.
I really do.
Your shoes would be ruined after an event like that.
Yeah, it'd be like walking through a dollar cineplex.
Yeah, you'd be like, this is the worst.
They step in gum?
Kinda.
Sort of.
What is it?
What did they just... Did they just coat the floor in jujy fruit?
This is just the worst.
I just bought these.
Hey, hold on a second.
Before I move on to Taiwan, right now you have Joe Biden.
They were just talking about Taiwan on CNN.
But right now he's saying a recession in the U.S.
is not inevitable.
Sorry, he mispronounced, is happening.
But let's hear him.
He means middle of it.
Well, let's hear what they have to say about the recession.
It's not bad.
So guys, don't lose hope.
It's just elevated, but the economy's not bad.
right now it's growing, unemployment is low, but the risk of recession is elevated and as the
Federal Reserve moves more aggressively to try to alleviate that. So guys, don't lose hope. It's just elevated but the
economy is not bad.
Trust your institutions.
the US economy into.
I'll have good news for you.
I thought that was pre-Crack Aaron Sorkin.
I'll have good news for you.
I thought that was pre-Crack Aaron Sorkin.
That's just him on Adderall and a typewriter high-fiving him.
He hasn't blinked.
Oh, hold on a second.
Thank God.
The Fed has decided they're going to do something about it.
Don't forget to wet eyelids.
By the way, and I know we're not covering the economy right now because it's so terrible, but they're basically spinning all weekend long.
Every show that I watched was, well, unemployment is low and, you know, the job numbers are looking better.
We're adding a lot, a lot of jobs and the economy is not so bad.
It's growing.
And I'm like...
Yeah, we haven't added one job since our peak in 2019, just to be clear.
There's more part-time jobs, the wages aren't very good for these jobs, and they're worth even less because of inflation, and you have far fewer people in the labor force participation market.
So this is how they lie about those numbers.
And we've gone through this several times, but this is what happens.
They blame us for sowing distrust, right?
They blame you for sowing distrust when you say, hold on a second, I feel like, I don't know, I got a ballot to my old house that I didn't request and anyone could do anything they want with that.
They say, wait a second, don't sow distrust in your institutions.
When they say, hey, the economy is fine, you say, I don't feel like it's fine.
Don't sow distrust.
You know what sows distrust?
Them saying, you know, we probably won't have a recession.
The economy is doing relatively well, and you are driving past, if you're in California, $6-$7 gas.
Right here in Texas, close to $5 gas.
If you're paying twice as much for your food, if you know friends who are unemployed, you know that people are having to tighten their belt buckles right now because they can't afford anything, you know what you're living through.
Skyrocketing costs, inflation, you're looking at your 401k, you're looking at your retirement savings.
It's worse than it's been in the last 10 years.
And they're saying, so don't worry, the economy's actually doing well.
They're so unaccountable, they don't even understand that it would just be better if they said, things aren't great, but here's how we think they can improve.
But they're so confident that no one will call them on their lies, they say the economy's actually doing pretty well.
That's what they just said!
That's basically what I heard all weekend.
They're like, oh, we added 500,000 jobs.
And I'm like, yeah, and people have to work two of them so that they can make ends meet.
Thank you.
And by the way, this is also another myth that you see people out there touting.
They go, oh, and if you look at the price of gas, the president doesn't really control it.
It's a global problem.
Hold on.
A couple of things.
First off, if you look at some of the economic indexes, the United States is doing worse than many other countries.
Not all, but it's doing worse than a lot of other countries.
Second, do you understand that being the world's only global superpower in 2022 is if we create the problem, it will affect the rest of the world?
It's not a problem that originated in Sweden.
In other words, of course, if we decide that we're going to create total upheaval with Russia and the Ukraine and send $40 billion here and make sure that some of these... Right now we're looking at a wheat, by the way, a wheat supply chain issue, just so you know.
The United States should not be affected by that.
But we will, because we'll export our wheat, even though we don't need to.
This is what happens.
The United States creates the problem.
So just because it's happening elsewhere in the world does not mean that the most powerful man in the free world and the most powerful country who sets international policy for the free world is not responsible for it.
You can't have it both ways and say, well, Donald Trump is not the reason that we had record low gas.
Look, record low gas when adjusted for inflation versus record high.
Record low unemployment and record high wage growth Period.
When you look at average individual earnings versus the worst.
And here's the thing.
We had 8 years of this.
This is a really hard job for the media.
We had 8 years of this with Barack Obama.
Now we have the former Vice President.
So we had 8-3.
I don't count that last year because of COVID.
We had 8-3.
We're going to have another 4.
We will never Probably in another generation or two have this kind of a clear contrast.
And despite all the wokeness, despite what all the Democrats want to tell you, and they go out and protest Dave Chappelle, a lot of people, when they go into that voting booth, they say, you know what, my life is definitely worse off, and they pull that lever.
And what's going to happen?
The media is going to blame us, the media is going to blame you for sowing distrust, and never take accountability themselves.
They're like the Amber Heard of the public sphere.
Or the media and Joe Biden's gonna gin up the monkey pox fear and say, well, we should probably just send out ballots to everybody so that they don't have gay sex in line and get monkey pox while they're waiting to vote.
Always happens.
It's unavoidable, really.
Abstinence only is not, you know, have a prevention strategy is more sensible.
I voted in a restroom on the freeway.
Saunas have voting booths too, right?
They do.
Not digital voting booths, I mean that just becomes an incredible electrical hazard.
Just go pick a hole.
It's a hole punch, but there's a giant hole in the face.
So now speaking of more economic upheaval and turmoil, look, I've been very clear about
this and we're going to go to Mug Club later and Gerald and Ginger Snap are going to have
a healthy debate.
Yeah.
I've said that we shouldn't be involved in Ukraine because we do need to, you know, save
our, keep our powder dry for Taiwan.
I do think that Taiwan is an important stronghold and if you look at what China wants to do
with Taiwan and how that would disrupt the global supply chain, I mean, China going after
Taiwan would probably be the actual catalyst for what would be closest to what we recognize
Yeah.
And so I think it's pretty important.
Now, that being said, considering the importance of it, it would seem that a unified, consistent message that is simply decipherable to human beings would be important.
So former Vice President Joe Biden, speaking in Tokyo next to the Prime Minister of Japan, Fumio Kishida, he addressed the question of how the U.S.
would respond if China invaded Taiwan.
He's the first president to say this, but part of what he says contradicts the second part of what he says.
You didn't want to get involved in the Ukraine conflict militarily for obvious reasons.
Are you willing to get involved militarily to defend Taiwan if it comes to that?
Yes.
You are?
First President to say that.
That's a commitment we made.
That's incorrect.
That's a commitment we made.
We are not, look, here's the situation.
We agree with a one China policy.
What?
Then you can't defend Taiwan.
All the attendant agreements made from there.
But the idea that it can be taken by force, just taken by force, is just not appropriate.
It will dislocate the entire region.
That is a big earpiece.
What is he wearing?
Beats by Dre?
He signed a new sponsorship deal with them.
So a couple of things.
This statement breaks with decades of the United States policy right on Taiwan.
That being said, he said, yes, we would intervene militarily.
Okay.
So that's this statement.
Then he says, we recognize China's one China policy.
Ah.
Those two are the opposite.
It might be foreign to you, it would be the exact equivalent of they said,
so, Joe Biden, do you consider yourself a Democrat?
Of course.
And I will continue as a Republican.
You know what?
Fight for conservatism.
I don't understand this.
The two cannot be, you can't reconcile the two together.
And this is the beauty of just saying things that don't make sense, because then there's no accountability, and you can respond with, when they say, hey, you said that you would intervene militarily.
No, I said I would recognize China's one-China policy.
So yeah, you said that one phrase later, but which phrase, but that's the phrase that I meant more.
And the next person says, hold on a second, are you actually recognizing China's one-China policy?
It's like, well, no, we're going to defend Taiwan militarily.
But you just said, yeah, but I said this before that.
How do we call you on your bullshit, Joe?
You can't.
Well, he even gave it away.
He said you would end up with a situation like Ukraine.
Exactly.
That is why we warned you when this happened with Ukraine that China was paying attention.
And now you're in this untenable position of saying we will defend, but it's also part of China.
And here's the thing.
What he is saying doesn't make And it also cannot be reconciled with what the U.S.
State Department, they just removed key sections from the U.S.-Taiwan relations page.
Look, let me read it for you.
They removed the sections that read, the United States recognized the government of the People's Republic of China as the sole legal government of China.
Removed.
That's removed.
The United States does not support Taiwan independence.
That's removed.
I think that now, see, I think that would be a good thing because Taiwan should be its own country.
Great!
I think we should recognize Taiwan's independence.
I think it's important.
And he said that until he said the exact opposite of that, and then I wanted to punch my own face repeatedly.
Yeah, for a half a second I was like, well good, oh crap.
No.
Good for you.
Winnie the Pooh?
By the way, October of last year, this isn't the first time he's done this.
No.
Very similar comments.
October of last year.
I have had, I've spoken and spent more time with Xi Jinping than any other world leader
has.
That's why you have, you know, you hear people saying Biden wants to start a new cold war
with China.
I don't want a cold war with China.
I just want to make China understand that we are not going to step back.
We are not going to change any of our views.
So are you saying that the United States would come to Taiwan's defense if China attacked?
Yes, we have a commitment.
I don't know, he said the same thing.
I spent a lot of time with him!
I like him!
So you defend Taiwan?
I don't understand.
Look, there are two stances.
I seriously can't follow it.
No, there are two stances.
You recognize Taiwan's independence, that it's not China, that these people have a right to be free from the communist thumb of China, okay?
Or you support China's one-China policy.
You support this idea that Taiwan cannot be an independent state.
It's one or the other, and he consistently says both things.
So does the State Department.
Now let me be clear what the official stance has been, because I wanted to give him props and say, good for you.
Me too.
Good for you for having the balls to say, you know what, we will go and defend our friends in Taiwan.
Just because I want to watch John Cena make another stutter step.
So let me give you some history here.
This is, you know, switching when we switch sort of our tack, I guess.
1978, the U.S.
has practiced what is known as strategic ambiguity with Taiwan.
And that's no promise to defend.
That's no promise not to defend.
And most people assume that this meant the United States was defend, but we kept them on their toes.
What am I?
It's like a no-look jab, right?
Like, I don't know.
I don't know.
Boom.
Boom.
I don't know.
What are you doing, Xi Jinping?
I don't know.
Boom.
That's what it is!
In 1978 we had a few bigger fish to fry, right?
We're still in the midst of the Cold War and so we don't want to really set things off in two places.
So I get it.
It makes some sense at the time.
Right.
Well, you don't think that that's what it should be anymore.
Oh, I think decades ago it should have changed.
Where we officially defend Taiwan.
And that's what Ginger Stamp and I are going to talk about.
Yeah, because basically what it does is it tells China, like, okay, we're not encouraging Taiwan to separate from you guys, so it kind of placates them, lets them save face, and then Taiwan, it basically tells them, like, hey, we may or may not come to your aid, so don't go and declare independence thinking that you've got your big brother over here ready to come in and get your back.
And so it keeps both parties kind of at bay for a while, but all it does is kick the can down the road.
Eventually this is going to be a thing.
Well, if you also understand the mission statement of China, and by the way, the Communist Chinese Party, it's very racist.
They believe in basically one superior race of people, the Chinese race, and they believe in the sort of, you know, Pan-Pacific, and this is, by the way, this goes back a long, if you look at the wars and the battles between China and the Japanese, and also, hilariously enough, if you look at World War II, the Japanese believed that they were the superior race, and so did the Aryans, and they teamed up, and, I mean, one of them has to be wrong, would have been an awkward fight at the end of that war if they won.
Yeah, both were wrong, thank God.
I guess we beat the allies?
How do you want to handle this?
You're superior and we are too.
What if they just mixed?
Let's just, no, let's settle it with a game of who can reach the top shelf.
Oh no, they're superior!
Okay, another genocide.
All of your vile tricks!
I know, it's okay.
That's not fair.
Who makes the best sauerkraut?
Oh, it's us!
We win again.
So here's the thing.
The White House is already walking it back.
I think this is from this morning.
I couldn't do it fast enough!
This is what it says.
As the President said, for those confused, I'm referring to the former Vice President Joe Biden.
As the President said, our policy has not changed, but he also said that it did.
He reiterated our One China policy and our commitment to peace and stability across the Taiwan Strait.
He also reiterated our commitment under the Taiwan Relations Act to provide Taiwan with the military means to defend itself.
No.
No, he didn't.
He said that the United States would intervene militarily.
Yes.
Which is actually more aggressive than what we've done with the Ukraine, which is, you know, we haven't intervened militarily, we've just butted billions and billions and billions and billions and billions of dollars to aid.
How could that possibly piss off Russia or them see it as the United States in an act of war?
They were just asking if his diaper was full into his earpiece, and he replied, yes.
It was a total mistake.
The distortion!
There's too much bass on the beats by Dr. Dre earpieces.
Yes, they asked if he smelled toast.
He said, yes.
Are you tasting wet pennies?
Yes, yes.
We completely are bad.
So, here's the thing.
Now they're trying to say, the White House is saying, he said this, but he also said this.
What they're trying to say is, we want to be friends with China, we don't want to piss them off, and we also want to act like we'll protect Taiwan, but we probably won't.
This is also important because here's another layer to this.
Biden's, he just signed this new Indo-Pacific, it's a trade agreement.
It's called the Indo-Pacific Economic Framework.
Let's bring this up, it's from ABC News.
And this has 13 members for trading.
Okay, let me read you some of the, let me read you the, Japan, South Korea, Thailand, I was about to say Vietnam, Vietnam, Thailand, Australia, New Zealand.
So you see, this is like, by the way, it's very Asiatic.
There we go.
One country seems to be missing.
Any idea which one, Gerald?
Could it be Taiwan?
Great guess!
Oh, boom!
They don't recognize it as a country.
That's weird.
And Taiwan is obviously being excluded at the behest of China.
Just to be clear, just like when the WHO was interviewed on a Skype call and they were asked about Taiwan and they refused to even acknowledge them.
This is the difference between Donald Trump and this guy.
This guy is beholden to China in a way that Donald Trump wasn't.
He just said he spent more time with Winnie the Pooh than anybody else!
They have a great relationship!
That was one of his major selling points, is I'm not gonna, you know, I'm gonna re-establish respect across the world.
Look, this is also important to know- Biden is his tigger.
Yeah.
Anyway, we'll go back to the monkeypox thing.
I met his friend.
Yeah.
This is the monkeypox thing.
We moved on from monkeypox.
So, this is one of those issues where It's really hard for people to understand.
That's by design.
He says nothing by saying all of the things.
That's the strategy.
It really is.
It's say everything, take every position, and then afterwards claim credit as though you were right.
Let me just sort of make the case to you why it's different from Ukraine.
You know, Taiwan, we're very, very dependent on a place like Taiwan for computer chips.
A lot of people don't realize.
There are certain things that come from Taiwan, you know, technological innovations that come out of there, certainly technological manufacturing that comes out of Taiwan, not China.
And that's why China wants control of that.
If China gets control of the chipsets, you know, Uh, that exist in Taiwan and they somehow managed to get control of Taiwan.
We did a whole segment on this, you know, this is what this war would look like.
It would have to take place during one of two months, uh, out of the entire year because of the, uh, the seas and how they act, how they would have to conquer the land, how they would have to be thwarted, what kind of, uh, of, of ship care of, uh, carriers they would need.
We did a whole segment on that.
We'll actually put a link in the description.
Um, and all references are available at ladoscreditor.com.
I don't want to get into that, but the, the issue here is this is something that would affect us very, In a very serious way.
Now, I know many of you are saying, well, that's the case with Ukraine.
It didn't have to be, though.
We are dependent on Ukraine for nothing.
So that's the problem here, for example, with Ukraine.
Let's look at that.
The wheat shortage.
Yeah.
You know, the United States is the breadbasket of the world, right?
We do not need any wheat from Ukraine.
I think they supply something like 70, 80 percent, depending which number you use, of the world's wheat.
When you're a country the size of a thimble, And your entire, your entire economic, you know, your export plan is wheat, right?
This is a problem.
You have places like China, you have places across all of Asia and Europe that say, okay, we don't want our economy to be based on wheat.
This is, this is labor intensive.
Let's just do manufacturing and we'll get our wheat from Ukraine.
Well, guess what?
This is really going to hurt a lot of countries, particularly countries in the third world who are dependent on wheat from Ukraine.
Now, America first would be, sorry guys, We have our own wheat, though.
We're going to make sure that we can feed Americans first.
But you can bet what's going to happen is, oh, the world has a wheat shortage, so America's going to go in and help.
Hey, I have an idea.
How about they come in and help us?
When does that ever happen?
We get to hear Sweden bitch about America and how you guys are warmongers, right?
And then now they want to join NATO decades later because they realize the official policy line of being a perpetual pussy doesn't work in the real world.
Hey, how about you guys come help us?
Hey, how about West African nations?
Hey, how about you send us some stuff for free?
Hey, Haiti, where's our disaster relief?
No, no, how about this?
In other words, instead of that, we're not going to expect any help from you, whether it be militarily, whether it be in emergency services.
We're just not going to give you our stuff when we need it.
The problem with that, you have Stephen Colbert saying, I don't mind paying a few bucks more for gas.
Well, guess what?
You have a family of five.
$15 a gallon.
Oh, yeah, that's right.
$15 a gallon.
Yeah, 15 bucks more for gas.
Guess what?
Americans shouldn't have to make that choice.
But what about these people?
Sorry, don't care.
Don't care.
Just because we are more successful, just because we have more bounty, does not mean that we should be required to give it to the rest of the world.
And so, I'm not a non-interventionist.
I just don't believe that we should be in foreign conflicts unless it benefits us.
That's what America First is.
And defending Taiwan is very important because if China gets control of Taiwan, boom, it's a skip and a hop and you look through the islands, Japan, and then of course they have this unholy alliance with North Korea.
This is far more serious than Russia-Ukraine.
That's why they don't want to be clear on it!
Because of how much of a failure it's been with Russia-Ukraine.
For crying out loud, how many billions of dollars, how many billions of dollars now with Ukraine?
Are we talking about $80 billion?
I don't know what the total is.
It was $40 billion, it was $10 billion, $40 billion, there was a $7 billion?
I don't know.
Well, they were trying to get there quickly with the $40 billion.
Too many billions!
$40, yeah.
And it was $40 at first, right?
Issues here, yeah.
No, we've given so much money and so many people have made the point, like, we really don't have the money to give, guys.
You're just printing money at this point and then wondering why inflation's happening.
Seriously, asking those questions in the same sentence?
It is absolutely this administration's policy to ask questions or make statements that contradict themselves or answer the question in the question.
It's like, yeah, I just printed a bunch of money, but there's inflation.
It's super weird.
We have no idea what to do.
Okay, you know what?
This is a genuine experiment.
By the way, you can hit the like button or share button on YouTube, but I do want you guys to comment below.
Genuine question.
All the references are available at LetUsCredit.com, so I want you to read them.
I want you to go watch the original videos.
Don't take my word for it.
I will tell you, I'm not lying, but I ask that you assume I am.
Let's say something happened between China and Taiwan, a conflict erupted.
Okay?
Hypothetical.
Tomorrow.
What will this administration do?
Do you have an answer?
Can I just get out of this question?
That is an honest question.
Honestly, what will they do?
Do you know?
I have no idea.
If China owns our debt, and we're giving Taiwan fake money that we don't even have, how does this even work?
China's really just paying Taiwan through us, technically.
That's big money.
I'm not an economist, but that sounds correct.
Is that right?
I mean, China doesn't own all of our debt.
No, no, no, not all of our debt, but some of it.
Yeah, they have a large stake in us.
I just, uh, someday we're just like, uh, you know, remember that debt?
No, no.
Couldn't we just be like, we didn't, we don't have that debt because we bought, we went to a place that doesn't exist.
It's right off your coast.
You should go look and see if you can find it.
So maybe we should let them destroy Taiwan and be all like, yeah, we don't even know where your money went.
That place didn't happen.
Does anyone know what this administration would do?
I have no idea.
That's what I mean, though.
Do you know what they would do?
Based on what Joe Biden has said, comment below.
Based on what he has said and based on what the White House has said.
China invades Taiwan.
It would have to take place, I believe, during either October or April, or is it October?
I believe it's October or April.
Those are the only two months that they could even try and break those seats.
Sweets.
So, China invades Taiwan.
Let's say that that happens.
They start a war.
Based on what Joe Biden has said, and the White House, and the State Department, does the United States intervene or not?
I'm not asking what you want, I'm asking are you clear On what the answer would be?
No, I mean, I think there's no definitive answer right now.
What they will do is whatever is politically expedient.
At whatever cost it is to win the election or to win favor with the American people, they will do it.
Just like they're doing in Ukraine right now because they think there's enough support.
Do you see the problem?
Here's the problem.
We should have never had anything to do with Ukraine and Russia.
There's going to be foreign war fatigue.
And like we always talked about, we should have kept our powder dry for Taiwan.
And by the time it gets to something that actually affects us on a significant level, and someone who is a significant ally, Taiwan, who we've been dicking around for decades, by the way, and have not been clear.
We haven't defined the relationship.
People will have fatigue of foreign intervention and then say, you know what we did with the Ukraine?
So no Taiwan and their left.
Holding the bag because this administration will only do what is politically expedient, not make the hard decisions.
The hard decision should have been, sorry Ukraine, that's not our war.
That would have been the hard decision.
They said, oh, you know what, right now people feel bad, we need something to move on because COVID.
Uh, Ukraine, people are not really happy about all this aid going over to the Ukraine, despite what the media tells you.
Ukraine, sorry, I keep saying, I said the Ukraine, it's Ukraine now.
There's going to be war fatigue when it comes to Taiwan and China, and that is an important one.
That is one that I have said for a very long time the United States would need to be involved with if we want the world to remain as it is or to avoid World War III.
But when you don't have principles, when you don't have any kind of a backbone, you cannot provide a consistent answer, you simply end up going whichever way the wind blows, and that's how you end up with this.
Think of it.
It's not just a consistent policy that has led to the inflation gas prices.
It's the remarkably inconsistent policy.
It's not a consistent policy that has led to businesses being shut down.
It's the inconsistent policy.
It's not knowing where we're going.
It's not knowing where we're going.
Saying, oh, OK, we're going to reopen.
OK, good.
No, no, a lockdown?
OK, I'm sorry, a lockdown?
You can't make decisions based on that.
Whether you liked Donald Trump or hated him, you knew which direction that ship, you knew which direction that was headed.
And if he didn't shut up, he was going to turn that car right back around.
I cannot answer this.
This is what I do for a living.
I cannot answer to you.
What will happen if there's some kind of an invasion of Taiwan on China's behalf?
I cannot answer to you what will happen based on what this administration is sending out.
And no expert can.
Any talking heads right now on CNN are lying.
No one has any clue.
All I can tell you is that it will be based on political expediency, and we know that Americans have very short memories.
That's what they're banking on.
That's a horrible place to be.
And historically, it is not a way.
To create foreign policy.
So we're actually going to argue about this, and I guess watch the new Mission Impossible trailer.
Oh, there's another one?
Well, we're going to argue about monkeypox in a way that we could absolutely not discuss on YouTube.
I bet Tom Cruise is going to be running in this trailer.
Yeah.
Okay.
Over, under, if he's running.
I'd be willing to bet significant money.
That's all he does is run.
I'm looking forward to another Vietnam and gas shortage.
Don't forget the gas lines.
Not just the shortage, gas lines.
Speeding limit at 50 miles an hour or under.
I'm excited.
We're headed the right direction and by that I mean I may go to Mug Club or I may go swallow a sword.
