GOING OUT WITH A BANG! #MUGCLUBFOREVER | Louder with Crowder
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Well, Merry Christmas!
We do this here every year at the Ladder with Crowder program.
Let's deliver some Christmas joy.
All of you, what a wonderful family.
Now, she's home for Christmas this year.
She is.
We spent four months in the hospital, but she's doing well.
What's your family name?
Chops.
The Sharps!
And you're a Sharp one, too.
Sammy, are you going to be the one to leave out the milk and cookies for Santa?
We can do that.
Santa is going to be sending you a check to help your family as you get through this Christmas season.
Merry Christmas!
We'll see you when we see you.
♪ You're a strange animal, that's what I know
You're a strange animal, I've got to follow I'm gonna speed it up
I'm gonna speed it up Alright everybody, thank you for joining us.
I appreciate you being here.
I'm obviously not Steven Crowder.
He is out sick right now.
He had 104 temperature, I think.
My goodness.
Very sick.
It's been a long year, guys.
We're excited, though.
We've got a lot of fun stuff to talk to you about today.
We're going to talk about COVID and how it's wrecking China again, and maybe their policies aren't that great.
Across the board, we're going to talk about some Twitter files that dropped, a little bit of Avatar.
Speaking of dropping, dropping the stock price of certain companies.
We'll see.
We're going to dive into that because those guys have a lot of money to make back to be able to get to positive territory.
What is it?
Two billion dollars that they have to make just to break even?
Then we're going to have some chat, right?
We got to end the year.
So this is our last full show.
Of the year, the normal kind of show.
We're going to do about 20 minutes today and then go to mostly Mug Club segment and then tomorrow we have our end of year Christmas special.
Look, if you don't have the holiday cheer in your heart right now, get it.
And if that means you have to watch Die Hard to get it because it is a Christmas movie, then you do it.
Whatever it takes.
I can't wait to see the number of sales on this shirt in the merch store.
Listen, this is not a cash grab, okay?
Or lack thereof.
Well, no, I think some people already tweeted out some things about buying it just to mess with Steven, which I love.
Thank you.
Just for Steven to go.
He admitted three years ago.
Three years ago, that's true.
We did have video footage.
Yes.
So by the way, sitting in my chair right now, we have Token Owen.
Thank you for joining us here, sir.
Of course.
I can make you three promises.
You can.
Yeah.
One, I will not be as well-spoken as you.
Two, I won't be as funny as you.
But three, I'll be less gay.
They even did dings for you.
I don't get it.
It's incredibly disrespectful.
It is disrespectful.
It's impossible to be less gay than I am.
You would be negative gayness.
Negative gay, that's right.
Which is not possible.
Anyway.
It's going to be a soundbite show.
It's going to be me arguing with me, essentially.
This is my life.
Everything I say gets used against me by people who love me, which is weird.
Usually it's the outside attacking, but not today.
Alright, so we have I don't know which nickname you like.
I like that for this segment we have Layne the Brain sitting in third chair over there.
You know, Layne is very smart.
Hold on.
But there's a microphone and the concept of a microphone is that it has to be in front of your face.
There we go.
Layne did this right here.
I don't know.
Don't do that.
Don't do that.
That's a screenshot that everybody's going to have now.
It sure is.
And that's going to be a bit of a problem here.
You get it?
There we go.
Yeah?
I should have put that stuff on that, uh, what's that called?
Makeup.
That.
Yeah.
I got a shiny forehead.
It shows off to a great start.
Thank you for watching.
We appreciate you still staying here.
Oh, wait.
You mean you've all left?
Oh, okay.
Got it.
All right.
So this is the question of the day.
I want you guys to comment about this.
What do you think is going to happen with the recent surge of COVID in China and how do you think that is going to impact the rest of the world?
There's a lot of doomsday prognosticators out there saying that this is the beginning of the end.
The sky is falling and everything's going to crap.
So I want to hear what you have to say about that.
But before we do, I just want to let you know why Steven is out today.
This has been an incredibly stressful year.
When we get to the end of the year, we're kind of all running on fumes a little bit, right?
I usually get sick after we do that because the adrenaline stops kind of running.
I hit a wall pretty hard last Wednesday.
Steven's been hitting a wall for quite a while, but he doesn't have the luxury of not coming in and doing the show as often because he wants to make sure that he is giving you what you've paid for and making sure that he is performing.
But this is not a show where we just come in and talk, right?
It's easy if you do that, and I'm not taking anything away from anybody who does that for a living and just kind of talks into a microphone, because that's not hard, it's not to say that that is an easy thing overall, but it's easy in comparison, because basically what we're doing is doing kind of a Saturday Night Live sketch, like we have comedy, we're doing late night, we're doing news, we're doing all of these things kind of pushed together, and the prep time for that and the intensity level that you have to maintain just at some point takes a little bit of a toll, and then throw in all of the other stuff that we're doing right now.
Uh, and so, you know, there's actually, you know, we want to make sure that the hashtag save Steven, uh, starts going around.
In fact, some people have already gotten an advance start on this and there was some, I saw some pictures of the, the, the water tower actually somebody did.
So yeah.
So save, save Steven.
Right.
So hashtag save Steven.
Stephen, we hope you're feeling better very soon.
He typically tries to watch a little bit here and there, but I think he's feeling pretty bad right now.
Yeah.
So we'll see.
But hey, MugClubForever.com.
Make sure you go there.
Again, if you are a Mug Club subscriber right now, or you would like to be a Mug Club subscriber, go there, enter your email address for us.
Make sure you do that right now.
That is the way that we know that we can keep in touch with you once we make this transition and kind of figure out what we're going to do in the new year.
Make sure you do that right now for us guys.
Do it and make sure that you have an email in there so that we can get in touch with you in the new year.
So with that said, thank you to everybody who has done that.
But like we found out the other day, you're not going to get a newsletter.
This is not going to be like hot tips on where to do fine dining around the country.
This is not something where you're going to get crowded.
Anything.
This is just for people who are interested in joining Mug Club when we and if we find a new home that is a suitable location for us.
So, with all of that said, we're going to jump into the show.
We're going to start off with a Watch & React that's a little different.
We're not going to jump into some of the heady politics or anything like that.
It's the end of the year.
We want you to relax with us.
And this trailer just dropped.
I mean, it's still serious.
It's about a nuclear bomb, so... Well, we got an anti-China segment, so we might as well put a nuclear bomb trailer.
Interesting juxtaposition.
So, is this Christopher Nolan, I guess, is doing this, and this is not about time?
It probably will be.
Is the bomb gonna make them travel back in time?
No, I'm just saying he likes to use it as a storytelling device, that's all.
Stay in the same time?
Probably.
Let's watch.
Hmm.
I mean, it's not T2, but we'll take it.
Not yet, anyway.
There's more.
They won't fear it Until they understand it deep
There's more and they won't understand it Until they've used it
Did they blow the Sun up They did.
That was their bad.
Interesting.
Yeah.
So, Lane, we obviously had to cut the trailer short.
It was 17 hours long because Christopher Nolan makes long movies.
The score is going to be fantastic.
Like the soundtrack to that movie is going to be phenomenal.
Christopher Nolan movies typically have pretty epic soundtracks.
Hans Zimmer.
Hans Zimmer is typically the guy I would love, love that stuff.
But what do you think?
Well, as far as the movie goes, I think the casting is on point.
Cillian Murphy is one of the most underrated actors working.
I feel like Matt Damon is going to be in it.
um, playing General Groves.
He plays Leslie Groves, who was the general that was in charge of overseeing the Los Alamos,
the Manhattan Project.
But as far as making this movie, I'm really happy it's being made because, in my opinion,
and this just isn't a hot take, I really believe this, that he is arguably the most important
person that's ever lived.
Oppenheimer?
Yes.
I think he's had more impact on the world than any mortal human that's ever lived.
Really?
Yes.
Why?
Because the invention of the atomic bomb changed calculation for everything that happened after it.
He's responsible for the protesters who think nuclear suck?
Is that what you're saying?
The environmentalists?
Sure, that, but any geopolitical calculation, anything that you think is amazing like AI or whatever it is.
I don't care.
It doesn't matter because all of that could be wiped out in half a second because of the discovery that he made.
Now you can say somebody would have eventually made that, but that's the retroactive case for anything.
Can I make a prediction about the movie?
You can.
I think it's going to end with a bang.
So, uh, I don't know who predicted Hans Zimmer, but the actual, I guess, composer is Ludwig Göransson?
Oh, I don't know.
Sounds Hans Zimmer.
Zimmer, Göransson, whatever.
Just as long as it's awesome.
That's all I really care about.
No, I think I can't wait for this movie.
I think it's going to be fantastic.
I think it's going to be awesome.
I really want to see the angle because he made a point there that they won't understand it until they use it.
Yes.
Right.
And so I mean, that's a fair point to make, because until you do that, you don't understand the ramifications of what you've done.
You can kind of game plan that out a little bit and go, OK, yeah, but to your point, it set us on a different course.
And maybe they hoped it would.
Yes.
But they didn't necessarily understand exactly how that was going to play out.
Well, for all intents and purposes, the world has been as peaceful as it ever has for the last 75 years since it was tested.
Because mess around and find out?
Yes.
I mean, you can't.
I mean, you use the destructive power once and people seriously have to change considerations.
Listen, sorry Japan, but not sorry.
No, listen, look, I get it, but it's war.
You attacked us first.
We ended the war.
People complain about the atomic bomb, and I understand why, because it's one of these seminal moments in history where something that had never happened before and destruction on that scale from that kind of a device had never been seen before.
But when you look at the firebombing, it was far more destructive, and I believe more people died during the firebombing than did during the atomic.
I could be a little bit off.
No, many more died during the nuclear firebombing.
Many more?
Okay, I think so.
Basically, you found a city full of paper houses and said, well, here's a match.
Right.
And if you've seen any of those pictures, the stories, it's just horrific.
Yeah.
And look, I get it.
That's war.
You don't fight wars to prolong them.
You do it as quickly and swiftly as possible.
And we understood very, very clearly that it was going to cost a lot of lives, both on their side and our side, if we were going to do a land invasion of the mainland.
Right, and I don't know if you've read the book Hiroshima, which just details first-hand accounts of that morning.
You know who else understood?
Wolverine, because he was there.
Well, he was, but the Japanese in Hiroshima.
They were asked about it, and the general consensus after the bombing was, it is what it is.
What?
Yes.
Wow.
They understood what was going on.
They said, we kind of deserved it?
That's weird.
It was war.
They understood.
They were in a total war effort.
They understood.
And yeah, where the firebombings killed more people, those were a series of campaigns over and over, but one second... Terrifying.
One second dropping a bomb into a valley, essentially, that is a bowl for this, you know, nuclear implosion to take place in.
Or the sun.
Basically, yes.
The heat of the sun.
By the way, we hope we don't open a black hole up and destroy the entire Earth, but we'll see.
And the thing, just a real other thing I want to add about Oppenheimer that's really interesting is many of the scientists that he was working with and dabbling with they were like communists.
And he was watched very very closely as a communist for most of his time developing the bomb.
Rightfully so, you commies!
Where other scientists in his community were like, this should never be used ever.
He was the one that understood and even encouraged the use of the bomb because he knew, based
on that quote, he knew what it would take to never use it again.
It mean using it.
Yes.
Right.
You know, not once, obviously we used it twice, but using it in one kind of situation.
Imagine if Russia had developed the bomb first.
Yeah.
Do you think they would have been as tactful?
Imagine if five years before the end of the war, three years before the end or two years
before the end of the war that Hitler had developed the bomb.
Like the bomb in the wrong hands with nobody else to be the power check is the truly terrifying
scenario.
Having some check in the system is great.
Now, look, I know that puts us in the position of saying we're better to do it than anybody
else and to that I would say, damn straight.
Yes.
Look at what we've done.
All right.
We used it.
Plenty of instances where we kind of wanted to.
But anyway, speaking of people that we don't really like, actually I'm going to get into the China story in just a second because this kind of freaked me out yesterday and I immediately, anytime I think of anything Chinese, including food, I talk to Lane because he has some on-the-ground China reporters.
He has not slept with a Chinese spy yet that we know of.
We're still doing some background checks to make sure where he's getting his information.
He's very quiet about it.
But yesterday we talked about this, and we had this incredible acoustic soundtrack, 61 second long promo, so if you listen to podcasts anywhere, go and listen to our podcast, Apple, Spotify, Android, whatever you do, 61 seconds of this beautiful sound of Joe Louis.
Produced by Hans Zimmer.
I think it was Ludwig.
Hans Zimmerpupp?
Alright, that was a terrible joke.
But listen to that for us.
So on podcasts, we can't necessarily like subscription.
It's about people listening to stuff.
That's the only number that we can really get.
We thank you for everybody who did that yesterday.
But please, if you have not, or if you just want to hear it again, let us know by going and listening wherever you have your podcast, because that's something that Steven may do a little bit of while we're kind of figuring out our next steps here.
So you might hear some podcasts that he drops, but we're not gonna be doing the full show
after tomorrow's Christmas special.
We love you and you need to get in the Christmas spirit.
And to do that, we need to bash China for just a few minutes.
So for nearly three years, it's like two and a half, but the BBC says three,
so we have to say nearly three years.
China has had intense, I mean, intense COVID lockdowns.
You guys have heard about it with some of the videos that we've seen.
We've got a little bit of a montage and it's actually terrifying.
But after all of the unrest, you remember when we reported on the unrest and were like, this is something different.
This is happening across the entire populace.
Beijing did a complete 180 on its zero COVID policy and it resulted in a very predictable mass infection.
A price is being paid for the reversal of the toughest measures.
In the last seven days, China has had its biggest wave of infections since the pandemic began three years ago.
This is the very latest from Beijing.
Most riveting report I've ever heard.
Lines have been forming outside Beijing's clinics after an explosion of infections.
He's talking about deaths.
Hospitals have increased their fever ward capacity, expecting a huge influx of patients.
People in this country have been used to going to hospital to treat any illness at all.
But now they're putting massive pressure on the system.
More appropriately, OH DAMN THEY SICK!
Right?
You need to be like, give me a little bit more!
You're like, and the weather off the coast is going to be 42 and sunny with north-northeast winds at 5.
That is high energy.
Give me something a little more.
Exactly.
You could have been talking about anything.
The note on the newscaster, he looks like the why are you gay guy.
Well, one boring guy tossed to another more boring guy to cover the story that is anything but boring.
You kind of screwed that one up, guys.
But for most of the pandemic, you've seen videos that we were referring to just a second ago, like all these montages coming out on social media.
Yeah.
And, you know, look, we always try to vet these things to make sure that they're real.
It seems like we've done this.
We've got a lot of this information from some very reliable sources, and I'll talk to you about that here in just a second.
But here's some of the videos of the archaic lockdowns that are going on in China, or that were.
Looks fun.
For the guy doing it.
Oh, no!
RoboDog kill you!
Well, that's a bum rush.
He was a bad tipper.
River Breeds.
Can they not make, like, bow and arrows and take care of this problem?
Well, yes.
So basically, the last clip was the people who had been shut in and forced to stay in their apartments, whether it was because of the welding the doors closed, which I think is a fire hazard, but I don't know.
I mean, if you're trying to get rid of COVID, I guess burning people's fine.
That's what started the whole unrest, was the people that were shot in their apartments and they died because of a fire.
Yeah, exactly.
So that was them yelling, kind of, as a community, which was a lot of people, to be let out, basically.
So that was a form of protest by them, right?
And, you know, the Communist Chinese Party did a bit of a 180, right?
We gave them a lot of credit for this, but we said that this was going to be a problem from the beginning, but now videos in China mostly look like this.
That's a line in a hospital.
To get in and out of a hospital, right?
13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19.
So he's counting the bodies right now?
Yeah.
So he's counting the bodies right now?
Yeah.
Well that's...
That's it.
Now, we're not laughing that there's dead bodies, we're...
We just don't know the language.
He said 17, 18, 19.
Really?
Yes.
You know that?
Yes.
You lie!
Well, I know how to count.
Oh.
Yeah, but in Chinese.
Mandarin.
There is no Chinese, I guess.
Alright, so, we... Get off your high horse.
Yeah, yeah.
I can count.
I can count to 20.
Yeah.
You know, my 5 year... my 5 year old.
Gosh, I don't even have that yet.
If I did have a 5 year old, they'd know how to count too.
I thought I was here to add value.
Am I not?
Is this not the trust?
I'm just saying, Steven drops one French phrase and everyone thinks it's awesome, and I say 19 and everyone freaks the hell out.
Yeah, because he doesn't say a number.
He says a word.
You know that?
Bainte.
That's 20, I think.
You knew 19, I knew one better.
China's funeral homes are now swamped with pent-up demand, which sounds like a really weird way of saying people are dying in mass.
It's like, there's a lot of demand right now!
Okay, I guess technically.
But in Chongqing, a city of 30 million, did I get that one right?
Chongqing.
I know that sounds fake.
It's a Q!
How does that CH?
In silly Chinese city name of 30 million people, a crematorium worker said they had run out of space to store bodies.
Seems like that problem's easy to solve, your crematorium.
Yeah.
And one staffer at a crematorium in... Guangzhou.
Guangzhou said, it's three or four times busier than in previous years.
We are cremating over 40 bodies per day, when before it was only a dozen or so.
So that, uh, that seems, that seems pretty bad.
Well, I mean, they act really surprised that this was going to happen.
Lockdowns are always going to end in this.
It's a temporary fix on something, and once you lift it, it's always going to end up in mass infections.
Hold on, hold on.
Don't they have the vaccine?
Can we?
We're still on YouTube right now, right?
Yeah.
We'll talk about that afterwards.
Okay.
Okay.
No, no, no.
You're right.
That's fair.
That's fair.
Thank you.
I appreciate that.
That's why you're in here.
Vaccines work perfectly.
They do!
That is also true.
Both things are true.
Okay.
Four months, the Chinese authorities were shipping positive cases off to their infamous COVID camps, basically.
They were like, well, we've got the Uyghurs in camps, and so might as well do this with people who have COVID when we can't.
You can't weld everybody into their apartments.
It's just logistically impossible to do that.
You're like, oh yeah?
Not enough welders?
I mean, come on.
There's not enough people to do it.
You know how hard it is to weld when there's just brick on either side?
You got to put something there, and then you got to make sure you don't electrocute.
Especially when no one's going to trade school these days.
No!
Chinese patrol dogs that are robots that have a bullhorn that could easily be fitted with a turret.
But the bullhorn is just duct-taped to the top.
That's the best part.
Yeah, exactly right.
But last week, China's top infectious disease expert Zhang Nanshan changed his tune, telling state media that, quote, Omicron has become significantly less pathogenic, with the mortality rate recently falling to around 0.1 percent, about the same as that of the Flu.
Influenza.
Weird.
In most cases, patients do not need to go to the hospital and can stay home.
Well, that's good when you lock them in their homes and tell them that they can stay home, China.
That's fantastic consistency in policy.
But if you want to see the biggest flip-flop, check out this foreign shill here.
Taiwan opened up and over the first six months had 20,000 deaths.
If China opens up starting now... I hate these people.
God bless all of you smart Western people who know better than Xi Jinping, who know better than Mario Fernando, who know better than the Arshadah 20th National Congress.
So he's on Chinese state media right now.
How stupid we all are!
This loud guy from Brooklyn?
Yeah, that's what they do.
And in the next six months, 1 million Chinese citizens will die!
Hey, I'm boosted here!
So China has been spending three years evaluating and assessing this evolving pandemic and the evolving variants and finally saw this result in Shanghai.
Most recently, Chongqing with many thousands of cases, Guangzhou with many thousands of cases, confirming Shanghai, very, very low death rate.
So the government finally could say, wow, we can now pivot this 100% focus on protecting health.
Now, unfortunately, we can't because people are getting frustrated.
Now we can pivot back to a more balanced It's people like you that are the problem.
You're going out there and carrying the water for the CCP, basically extolling the virtues of Dear Leader, you know, in basically their language, and saying that, yes, you guys don't know better.
Zero COVID policy is fantastic.
Forget the wailing of citizens.
Forget people burning alive in this.
Forget taking away rights that I guess they technically don't have over there because We don't have the same rights as we do here, right?
Right?
But it's supposed to be a country that can produce a lot of goods for the rest of the world, and so I guess we'll just turn a blind eye to it, and then 10 days later say, well, they've reversed course because they found new information.
It's 12 days later now!
What are you saying now?
See?
I told you so.
We shouldn't do this.
But what about this video?
That video doesn't exist.
That's not me.
That's AI.
I didn't say that.
I yell when I talk.
That guy's just talking.
Probably British.
He just scrubs it.
The video never existed.
It doesn't even exist anymore.
So look, I know that we're talking about COVID again and people are like, yeah, whatever, COVID in China.
But this was a policy Problem from the very beginning.
Because this is going to happen when you open back up completely, right?
It should be noted, this is what the Fauci's of the world and the United States wanted.
If it wasn't for Republican governors in certain states really pushing back... Lockdown, you mean.
The lockdown restrictions that they had in China.
They wanted that level.
Yes.
Right.
Maybe we just don't have the robot dogs with the megaphone.
We could get some!
Yes.
Well, I mean, Fauci would probably stick them in a fly cage and have them killed too, but... I don't think the sand flies can eat the metal.
I don't think it works the same way, but I understand your point.
Chinese sand flies.
I don't know.
It's fair.
Think about it.
It's like the Day the Earth Stood Still flies, those things, they can eat metal.
That would be seriously scary.
I did not see that.
I missed that movie.
What?
With Keanu Reeves?
Yeah.
No.
What the hell's the matter with you people?
Whatever.
Anyway.
That was the Day the World Stood Still.
I said the Day the Earth Stood Still and you corrected me?
Yeah.
World and Earth not close enough for you?
Yeah, Google won't auto-complete that one.
You're right.
Totally different movie where they don't have flies that eat metal.
So one of the reasons that we brought this up was that this, you know, I started hearing a lot about the doomsday predictions and then we're going to go to Mug Club here in just a minute.
We're going to talk more about the Twitter files.
I'll give you kind of a briefer on it.
It's worse than you think.
Yeah.
But the economic issue right now on top of the people issue.
The people issue is primary, right?
We care about the Chinese people.
We hate the Chinese government because it oppresses their people.
We don't want them to have to deal with stuff like this and we've been saying for a long time like, hey, these kind of shutdowns are going to lead you to some really dangerous times eventually.
Eventually, right?
Now we'll talk about the 100% effective vaccine that I'm sure these people were forced to take and why there are issues when there cannot possibly be any issues, trust the science, but one of the things we're gonna have to deal with is the economic fallout from this, right?
So there are a lot of people worried that we're basically just kind of crawling out of this supply chain issue, right?
Where this pent-up demand, blah, blah, blah, the Biden administration completely screwing up every possible thing that they could.
And us kind of heading into a recession, being in a recession, how deep is the recession going to be?
How much is the Fed going to screw up the recession to now?
Oh no, China's basically losing tons of its citizens and people may start closing down again.
People may start restricting travel again.
It just is this never-ending cycle of issues that we're going to deal with.
And the World Bank actually cut China's growth target to 4.3%.
Now that's, again, that's China's number.
Their other target before that was 5.5%, right?
We're gonna see some issues with the manufacturing and supply chain.
And like I said, we're just now getting out of that.
That just helps us understand a little bit more that maybe we shouldn't be dependent on one country alone
for production the way that we are with China.
We should probably diversify that.
We should probably bring as much of that back to the United States.
I understand unions.
If you're in a union out there, you're part of the problem a lot of the times.
I don't dislike you, I dislike the people that run the unions.
I don't think it's a problem for you to have a voice with management.
I don't think that's an issue at all, but I think in today's world, when you start to have unrealistic expectations, i.e.
$15 an hour, $25 an hour, a living wage, and nobody out there is willing to take those jobs, I could not believe it when $15 an hour was put forth and they're like, we'll just put these little kiosks in McDonald's.
Yeah.
Most of our people get in fights, it seems, because those are all the videos that you can't punch.
You can punch a kiosk.
It just isn't going to do anything.
We can put somebody's face on it.
It's going to make you feel any better.
But that's the kind of thing that it leads to.
It's like, well, fine, we'll just innovate.
And then you'll be pissed off that there's not enough jobs and the government's going to have to give you money.
Right.
So it is a double edged sword.
If the Chinese economy doesn't open, the global economy will suffer with tourism and exports.
But resurgent Chinese economy will likely lead to more inflation as well.
So we've got some issues to deal with with this story.
We'll update you guys at some point but I'm betting it's going to all work itself out by the time we come back and you'll have a lot more of that information.
So it's hard for us to say tune in again next week because we're here next week to be able to give you the rest of the story.
We are gonna go to Mug Club only.
Again, if you haven't entered your email address yet, make sure that you do that.
MugClubForever.com.
It is just for people who are currently in Mug Club and people who want to sign up for Mug Club once we have a home.
This is the way that we will stay in touch with you.
You will get one email on the offer.
You may get like a double opt-in email, right, to make sure that you're not a bot.
You have to do the capture thing to make sure that, again, you're not a bot.
We're not getting just random email addresses.
This is what it's for.
The other news and information you can get from our social media stuff, we'll provide updates there.
That's what the social media stuff is going to be for, but this is specifically if you want to join Mud Club.
So make sure that we hear from you, and make sure that you go and listen to Joe Lewis's sweet, sweet vocal chords as he howls with the... Yeah, that right there.
It's actually fun to be near him when he does that.
Yeah.
Takes the room.
He does a better job than...
We're gonna talk about Twitter files so let me just summarize what this looked like.
These dumps sometimes, what is it like 50 some odd tweets?
Yeah.
And then a ton of articles and then videos linked in there.
It's a time-consuming effort.
It's really bad.
If you are a Republican, great.
Democrat, great.
Independent, great.
Somebody who has no clue, please stay out of politics.
But great, right?
You need to be concerned about what this reveals.
Hunter Biden had no, had zero understanding of international finance.
When his dad becomes Vice President of the United States, he goes and does deals in Russia, in China, and in Ukraine in international finance.
Makes money from it in ways that make no sense, provides no real service, provides no products Doesn't have a business that's set up to run prior to this that's just a continuation, like Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner do, where they actually make clothing in China.
That's a business deal.
That's the only real lucrative business deal that they have in China, is production.
Or build hotels around the world.
That's a physical building.
That's a product.
That's a business.
Yes, they have to be scrutinized.
Absolutely.
Not even close to the same thing.
And then the FBI sets up a scenario so that Twitter can be ready for the misinformation that they think is coming down the road that is absolutely chilling because it is almost exactly what then happens.
How could they possibly do that?
Just a training exercise.
They already had the laptop.
That's how.
We're going to get into more of that here in just a minute.
Everybody, we love you.
We hope you have a very Merry Christmas.
Watch the Christmas special tomorrow morning.
It's going to be fantastic.
Fill your heart with Christmas cheer.
Die Hard is a Christmas movie.
If you don't watch it, you hate Christmas.
Yippee-ki-yay.
We love you.
