	Two notepads.
	Sorry.
	Hey, just want to let you guys know, sometimes you're asking, hey, what do you, what is Mug Club?
	Well, first off, it's the big middle finger to big tech.
	That's the most important thing.
	But we also are launching all kinds of new shows and, you know, Monday is Labor Day.
	It's a poor excuse for picking a business owner's pocket every first Monday of September.
	But We're not going dark.
	We'll be introducing a new series this Monday, so you can tune in if you're out there on the boat or barbecuing, where Brian Callen, Nick DiPaolo, Jim Brewer, all in one room at one time, Monday, September 4th.
	Here's a quick teaser, Murderer's Row.
	Don't you love it?
	I just pulled a Chelsea Handler where I had you do a bit before, and then I took it and made it mine.
	How do you know what Chelsea Handler does?
	Did you watch that, whore?
	Ha ha ha!
	There's been a shift in the landscape of comedy.
	First I was told to shut up because I would never understand.
	Then I was told that silence was violence.
	You wanna call me right wing?
	You want to call me a conservative?
	I'm a proud conservative.
	Somebody comes up to you and goes, you're politically incorrect.
	And I go, you don't f***ing read Chomsky, do you?
	Why am I all of a sudden some right-wing fanatic?
	But there are certain things I'm willing to fight for.
	Welcome to Murderer's Row, airing Monday, September 4th, 10 a.m.
	Eastern for the very first time.
	I'm.
	Ooh, glad to be with you.
	That's Monday, going to be Murderer's Row, going to be a lot of fun, and we have a portion of Murderer's Row here today.
	Look, let me give you a rundown.
	Maybe we should start adding a graphic?
	You know what, guys?
	Comment below, or hit like if you would like us to add a graphic of the breakdown of the show, the topics that we'll be hitting.
	I like it!
	Because sometimes people are like, I know you say it, but I'm a visual guy.
	I need visual aids, which by the way, we will be talking about the LGBTQ community today.
	And your membership in it.
	Visual HIV, I don't care.
	Canada has issued some travel warnings for the LGBTQ plus community traveling to the United States.
	It's very silly and I'll explain to you it's government propaganda.
	Rachel Maddow, I know you usually don't care about him, but has predicted that Donald Trump would be a dictatorship who would never relinquish power, so we're going to get into how former Vice President Joe Biden actually acts quite a bit more like a dictator than President Donald Trump.
	Some people say former president, some people say sitting president.
	I say sitting president, okay?
	And then the Gadsden flag kid that's been making the rounds.
	Yeah.
	This kid, this kid deserves, I mean, I don't know what you, how, I don't know what you give that's age appropriate, but liquor and whores.
	Fight like hell shirt?
	Yes.
	There we go.
	That's better.
	As well.
	We'll split the difference.
	And an old bottle of the wild turkey.
	No.
	So we're going to be talking about that and more today.
	And here's something else with the Gadsden flag we want to get into.
	Are you aware of the history behind the Gadsden flag?
	Because, and you can comment below, you'd only accept their premise that it's hateful and this child needs to be reprimanded if you believe that it represents slavery.
	Spoiler alert.
	Or if you're an idiot, I think is a better way.
	Will you cut off my head shake?
	Yeah, sorry.
	I can't do the timing of the head shake if you do the, if you talk.
	You have my shirt on.
	You did it again, son of a, what the?
	Yeah, that's right, we are wearing the same shirt.
	We are not coordinated here today because so many people out there are preparing for Labor Day!
	Alright.
	You hear him?
	You love him?
	Ridiculous.
	It's number two, Gerald Morgan, CEO.
	How are you, sir?
	I'm doing well.
	How are you?
	I'm doing fine.
	Had a busy morning.
	Had a busy morning.
	I don't know if this is normal.
	I think I have the smartest children in the world.
	A to Z, the entire ABCs, including Now I Know My ABCs Next Time Won't You Sing With Me.
	Barely two.
	By five years old, that's actually, that's good.
	Yes.
	No, two.
	That's pretty good.
	Two.
	Do you need some visual aids?
	I do.
	With those Coke bottle glasses, Mr. Banjo-Kazooie Malt?
	How many fingers?
	Oh, right.
	And in third chair, when you hear this...
	Hey, he did it!
	You know who it is.
	Friday and Saturday, September 1st, 2nd, he's going to be at Wise Guys in Salt Lake City, Utah, wearing his holy undergarments.
	And you can check out his other dates at briancallin.com.
	Brian, how are you, sir?
	I'm just a man, and when it comes to this music, I want a fan in my face.
	And that's something I'm not going to compromise on anymore.
	Well, that's good.
	I want my hair blown back the way it looks when I'm riding a horse, a steed, a stallion.
	You're an uncompromising man.
	I appreciate that.
	That was a mouthful, and I don't understand it.
	I have a question.
	Brian, in Utah, are these people sober at your comedy shows?
	What do you mean?
	I don't understand the question.
	What I'm saying is, can they even drink?
	They're drunk on God!
	Oh boy.
	Come on, Mormons are good people, but there's a two seer stone minimum.
	Now, what'd he say?
	I was busy looking in my hat!
	Huh?
	The tablets!
	Oh come on, look, of all of my languages, ancient Egyptian hieroglyphics.
	So before we do that, here's a video of a guy who claims that conservatives are hypocrites for treading.
	See, that's the key word of the day.
	By the way, Yakuza, this is a rite of passage.
	Admonish yourself.
	He's learning how to operate TriCaster because Toolman is always here.
	He never takes a sick day.
	And Toolman, by the way, he's going, look, this has been on the schedule for like six months.
	I have to be on this.
	I'm like, of course, Toolman.
	That's fine.
	He's like, I just don't have anyone.
	I don't have anyone who could do the TriCaster.
	I'm like, well, just show someone.
	He's like, I can't give up control.
	I don't think he said that.
	Yakuza!
	That's exactly what he said.
	So we appreciate the valiant effort, Yakuza, but don't go until I finish my phrase.
	You got it.
	This guy claims that conservatives are hypocrites for treading, that's the word of the day, on people of color and the LGBTQ piece.
	The government has no right to take my rights away.
	That's why I fly this flag that says don't tread on me.
	That's snatching your nose ring.
	Um, yeah.
	You know, I get it.
	I see where you're coming from.
	In that case, don't tread on me.
	Yeah, yeah, don't tread on me either.
	The thing is, we can still tread on you.
	You just can't tread on us.
	Yeah, I think that's where the confusion lies.
	Ah!
	Down syndrome Charlie Hunnam does the old reverse psychology.
	You almost got us there for a second.
	Oh wait, so you're saying, hold on a second, you're saying that we're treading on you!
	Ah, yes.
	Oh.
	That sounds like more of an invite.
	Any hole will do.
	It's not true at all.
	We've been over this.
	I really dislike this guy because I didn't read the setup to this and at first I'm like, oh, okay.
	It makes sense.
	And then I'm like, oh, he's trying to make fun of us.
	Yeah.
	He looks like a stylish druid.
	Yes.
	That's what I like about him.
	What?
	I didn't know warlocks were that good looking.
	Yes, exactly.
	You know what I mean?
	They're going to just show up at Stonehenge and be like, I did that.
	No you didn't.
	Why must you have that bull ring in your nose for my brew?
	Because I hate my father.
	And he hates you back.
	I know.
	Let's play it one more time just to be I just want to see if I understand the logic here and again this is the argument they'll always they'll try and use right oh yeah you're for limited government until it comes to a woman's body well so the woman has uh the woman has 20 fingers 20 toes but no no I'm for limited government you don't believe that I should choose what car I drive you don't believe that I should choose what size of Size of a convenience beverage.
	I pick up at the 7-Eleven.
	You don't believe that I should have a choice as it relates to school, so they always say, oh, you're for choice until, or they'll say, oh, well, you don't want to be treaded on until, but you have a problem with these people, what, burning down stores?
	What happened to the First Amendment?
	Oh, it's hard to argue with that logic.
	Let's go back.
	The government has no right to take my rights away.
	That's why I fly this flag that says, don't tread on me.
	Okay.
	Um, yeah, you know, I get it.
	I see where you're coming from.
	Uh, in that case, don't tread on me.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Don't tread on me either.
	The thing is we can still tread on you.
	You just can't tread on us.
	Yeah, I think that's where the confusion lies.
	Okay, so I know you had something there, Gerald.
	I want to go to you.
	Please comment below.
	And again, we're still trying to check out the algorithm on YouTube, so also hit the like button if you're watching on YouTube.
	Usually we tell you to head on over to Rumble, but right now we want to see what's going on with the likes.
	Here's a challenge, though.
	One right.
	Which is being tread upon.
	One!
	In the LGBTQ plus community.
	One!
	Oh, sports!
	No, no, it's not a right to compete in any division you want.
	Bathrooms!
	It's not a right for a heavyweight to compete with welterweights.
	It's not a right for a biological man to compete with women.
	Uh, yeah.
	Taking a dump at Target.
	Well, you already have that one, but that's not necessarily a right.
	They can refuse service for whatever they want.
	Uh, uh, children getting... Oh, no, no, no.
	Hold on a second.
	That's not a right.
	We're talking about parental rights.
	You're infringing upon parental rights.
	They have the right to determine what medication goes into their child's body.
	Unless you're in Canada.
	Right.
	Unless you're in Canada.
	Name me one right.
	Can anyone out there... You know what?
	Even just play devil's advocate.
	One right that is afforded to heterosexual, heteronormative... We'll just go with normal people.
	That you don't enjoy.
	One.
	I can list a bunch of special rights that you do that aren't enjoyed, but for example, the ability for many people, depending on the state, to go into whatever sports division you want.
	For example, to be able to speak without criticism when gross violation of appropriate laws regarding, you know, language with children.
	Again, freedom of speech, but you don't have the right to display child pornography or pornography to children, but a lot of people get away with that from the LGBTQ.
	That's why people are upset.
	You think that people being upset that you are behaving poorly is a violation of your rights?
	It's amazing how they think that this kind of logic works.
	Don't let it work.
	You can also claim you're a woman and join a sorority and walk around with a massive boner.
	That's a giant guy, by the way.
	This is a boner, but I'm a gal, so I got a girl boner, and that's not the same.
	He's 6'2", 260.
	Yeah, that's not threatening at all.
	That's super safe.
	I'm not kidding.
	I think I'm within 5 or 10 pounds.
	It's a girl boner.
	How's college going, honey?
	I'm running away from a giant man with a boner, but he's a girl.
	Chaos!
	Chaos.
	Well, he has a boner, but was it that time of month?
	Was he having his period at the same time?
	Yes.
	Maybe it was messing with his head.
	How do you know he's a man?
	Well, when a man chases me out of the woman's locker room with a raging erection and a butcher's knife, I figure he's not in the old elk's lodge.
	I never should have joined Kappa Kappa.
	He's not collecting for the Red Cross.
	He's not collecting for the Red Cross.
	Were you about to say something, Gerald?
	We have so much to talk about.
	I was going to say exactly, I'm not kidding, exactly what you said.
	Boners?
	No.
	Oh no, not boners!
	Were you going to say 6'4", 260?
	I was going to say, what rights have been taken away?
	Like, name one.
	So you completely stole my thunder and my shirt.
	Yep.
	Sorry, I apologize.
	By the way, it's a live show Monday through Friday, 10 a.m.
	Eastern, because notifications don't work, and it's on Rumble, anywhere podcasts exist.
	Apple.
	I always want to say iTunes.
	Apple, Spotify, Stitcher.
	You can go there and make sure that it's uploading properly.
	Just bookmark it.
	Check in Monday through Friday, 10 a.m.
	Actually, sorry, yeah.
	10 a.m.
	on Friday is only on Mug Club, if you're not a member of Mug Club.
	All right.
	Let's go on to this story.
	It's everywhere right now, this 12-year-old Colorado Springs student.
	Uh, the Gadsden flag.
	And again, the Gadsden flag.
	If I miss, it's really hard to say.
	Gadsden flag.
	But I'll sometimes say Gadsden, sometimes I'll say Gadsden, but I know it's Gadsden flag.
	You can admonish me in advance.
	It's a tough one for me.
	Otherwise pronounced America.
	Yes.
	Right.
	And Gerald actually is going to be giving us a brief history lesson here today.
	You guys are passing notes, are you okay?
	You're always passing the notes, Gerald.
	You're always passing the notes.
	I'm checking notes, just so you know.
	Twelve-year-old Colorado Springs student, okay, he was removed from class for displaying, he had this flag, right, on his backpack.
	Now, you've heard the story, but the reason that he was removed from class, because some of you, again, maybe too close, right, maybe too close to the forest, that whole thing, you go, oh, because he had the flag, just because she's a liberal?
	No, no, it's not because the teacher's a liberal, though, that too, it's because the left now wants you to believe that this flag, and it's completely incorrect, we'll get into the history, represents slavery.
	Do they know what the Gadsden flag is?
	That's a historical flag.
	So they're, um, the reason that they do not want the flag, the reason we do not want the flag to sway is due to its origins with slavery and slavery.
	Wrong.
	What's your origin story?
	Dad never hugged you enough?
	See the kid looking like, what?
	The Gadsden flag.
	The don't tread on me.
	She's a real expert on origin stories.
	Yeah.
	Big X-Men fan.
	Real educated for an educator.
	She was part of the weapons bitch program.
	Now... Okay, so the assistant principal, let me make sure I get this right, Beth Danjuma.
	Oh my gosh, I'm glad that Nick DiPaolo's not here today.
	I'm refraining.
	The assistant principal, obviously.
	The mom, let me be clear.
	A hero here is the mom.
	Didn't let this assistant principal off the hook.
	And this is what you need to do.
	We talk about fighting like hell.
	When you send us your comments in your chat, we've talked about it this week.
	You need to make your voices heard for the same reason that we're now allowed to discuss election interference on YouTube.
	Because we did it non-stop and at a certain point they can't ban us all.
	YouTube said there are so many people who have questions about the elections.
	We're not talking about Amy Klobuchar, Hillary Clinton, or Jimmy Carter.
	But we can't just remove all conservatives.
	They cannot ban all of you from PTA meetings.
	They cannot ban all of you from the public school district.
	This mom didn't let her off the hook.
	Hats off to her.
	Yeah, it has nothing to do with slavery.
	That's like the revolutionary war patch that was enslaved when they were fighting the British.
	Okay, okay.
	That's the revolution.
	Maybe you're thinking of, like, the Confederate Pan?
	Okay, I think, so...
	I am here to enforce the policy that was provided by the district, and definitely you have every right to not agree with it.
	Yeah, and I mean, we teach him to always stick up for your beliefs, and I mean, you're going over the revolution lists for seventh grade.
	I mean, the founding fathers stood up for what they believed in.
	Can't say father patriarchy.
	Oops.
	This is unjust.
	We're upholding a policy that was provided to us, which we have to uphold.
	Yeah, we've never seen that with every villain lackey in a film.
	I was just doing my job!
	Just following orders?
	So am I!
	Figuratively.
	It's true.
	It's true.
	Figuratively.
	Figuratively.
	That's why I did the hand.
	I know.
	I saw it.
	By the way.
	I saw it.
	It's double-barreled, though.
	Got thick fingers.
	More of a Derringer.
	Is that what it is?
	Yeah, absolutely.
	Big palms, these guys.
	Small fingers, big palms.
	Yes, true.
	We call them long palms.
	I hate you, Brian.
	Sorry, buddy.
	I'm sorry.
	It's just that he needs a big handle for his gun.
	Keep going.
	I absolutely love you.
	I love you.
	So look, parents, when we talked about this yesterday, I think behind Mug Club, right?
	So we were talking about Mug Club saying, hey, if you have any tips on this, you have to go do the work first, though.
	This is what you should do.
	This is the exact thing that we want to see.
	So if you have something like this, LWCTipsAtProtonMail.com.
	See if you can bring that up, guys.
	LWCTipsAtProtonMail.com.
	Think about the distillery that did the, I think, Roanoke, the drag show.
	You may not know this.
	Absolutely.
	Shut down!
	Shut down!
	It's a local story, but hey, there was enough going on there that they're done.
	They're not doing drag shows anymore.
	You can make a difference and we want to help you.
	We will go to jail to protect our sources if you want anonymity.
	Exactly, but this is what you have to do.
	You have to go and start the fight.
	You have to go and stand up for yourself.
	If you send us a video or an email or something after that and you've been stonewalled, we
	will absolutely jump in that fight with you, but we want to make sure that we are training
	people who are going out and fighting, not people who are depending on others to fight
	for them.
	That's what most people do with the federal government.
	We don't want that.
	You have to fight for yourself.
	So educating yourself as well.
	That snake in Don't Tread on Me has 13 rattles for 13 colonies.
	And just a very simple Google search would have shown that district and that teacher that had nothing to do with slavery.
	And I'll tell you something else.
	I wasn't going to get a full back tattoo, but now I have to.
	Do you?
	Okay, and it's going to be the Gadsden flag.
	Gadsden.
	Darn it!
	Yeah, I know.
	I was gonna get your back tattooed to my back, but I don't have the room.
	Yeah, I know.
	It'd be like a gay, mad fold-in.
	You know what?
	That's just not, that's uncalled for.
	I think it's entirely called for.
	By the way, I hate both of you.
	Now, the patches were reviewed, just to be clear, by the school district and the charter school, Vanguard.
	Not a great name for this.
	Not a great name for foreboding.
	But they have a sister school in Tokyo.
	It's Black Rock High.
	The charter school is told to have the parents remove it, and the assistant principal also told the Colorado Springs Gazette, Vanguard has zero tolerance on racial issues and takes these concerns very seriously.
	Like my straight bangs.
	There's a lot of different circumstances that our code of conduct handles nicely when then we decide upon a consequence.
	We always, always try to make our consequence a learning experience beneficial for the students,
	which makes you wonder what the school's reaction was when they first laid eyes on
	the flag to create such a policy.
	Oh!
	And the children were screaming!
	There was a girlfriend flag, the children were screaming!
	Name that film line.
	I've seen that three times and it's still hilarious.
	I have a question for you.
	Do you think the teacher has a point?
	Do you think the flag is actually associated with slavery?
	You know what's more damaging than a lie?
	It's a half-truth.
	Stupidity.
	No, a half-truth.
	I know.
	Let me stick that landing there.
	A half-truth is the most damaging thing that actually exists, as far as the press out there.
	In this case, it's largely a lie, but I can understand some context if they want to say that at one point it was adopted.
	Okay, fine.
	It was co-opted, sure.
	But the history of this flag, no, it's not meant in any way to be supportive of slavery.
	But the half-truth is they want to say, well, people who were involved at that point in time, slaves existed.
	Half-truth is what's so dangerous out there, because people feel like they have information, and then they hold that opinion steadfast for the rest of their life, despite the fact that they're an absolute moron.
	So, let's go through the claims versus the truth here, because a lot of people were saying, hey, you know, can we maybe kind of dive into this?
	Historically, this matters.
	The child is right, that mom's a hero, but that's only the case if you know the history of the flag and why that assistant principal is a dummy.
	And you already knew that by the banks.
	By the way, here's another question.
	Does anyone, any man out there like straight banks?
	It's purely a woman thing.
	No man is like, you know, I really like a woman in straight bangs.
	I think it's like an 80s thing, right?
	Well, Betty Page has straight bangs.
	Yeah, I know, but that's the whole thing.
	Not everyone is Betty Page.
	Okay, guys, I'm just a real Cristiano ladies in the 50s, you know what I'm saying?
	It's like, I look like bombshell Betty.
	No, no, no, no, no.
	You look like a retiree from Hot Topic.
	It's just no one likes it.
	I'm sorry.
	It's a dominatrix thing, I think, actually, if you like to be dominated.
	Oh, if that's the case.
	Yakuza!
	Oh, great, if you want to be an understudy for billions.
	My plan worked.
	I exposed Yakuza.
	Here is the claim.
	Okay.
	The claim is that this flag is intrinsically tied to the Confederacy, Southern slave states.
	Let me just give you some examples of these headlines.
	All the references are available at LatterEarthCrowder.com, so you can read them for yourself.
	Don't take my word for it.
	Washington Post.
	The disgraced Confederate history of the Don't Tread on Me flag.
	The Gadsden flag was not the official flag of the Confederacy, as the Alabama Beacon called it, but several newspapers described it in those terms.
	You did!
	You!
	It was you who described it in those terms!
	You just destroyed your own argument!
	It is not a flag of the Confederacy, but we said that once.
	Assholes!
	Several of us said that.
	And just keep in mind, I know some of you are new here, when people say, oh, Occupy Wall Street was the first... No, no.
	The Tea Party existed as soon as Barack Obama became president, and this was the emblem.
	This was the symbol of the Tea Party, by the way.
	And you know who rose up during that?
	A lot of black conservative activists.
	Alfonso Rachel.
	I owe a huge debt of gratitude for my career.
	I was just a stand-up comic and actor until he brought me into a place called PJTV at that point.
	I believe Tim Scott came up with some support from the Tea Party at one point or was active.
	Michelle Malkin was back in the day.
	Herman Cain.
	So these guys were out there, I guess, waving the slavery flag.
	That's the claim they want you to believe.
	Here's the truth.
	And Gerald, you're a history buff.
	I am a little bit of a history buff.
	It's actually tied to civil liberties with the origin in the Revolutionary War.
	I kind of, civil liberties, I did a little bit of a Joe Biden there.
	So let me just give you a quick background.
	Let's go to 1775.
	We'll go to 1775.
	It was created by Colonel Christopher Gadsden of South Carolina.
	He was newly created Marine Corps, displayed this on the drums.
	It was also flown by Essek Hopkins, the first naval commander in chief of the United States Navy, right?
	So the rattlesnake, it was Kind of used as a symbol for Great Britain.
	So what was happening is that Great Britain was sending over prisoners.
	Does it sound like Australia to anybody else?
	It was basically being used as a penal colony.
	We passed some laws in the states that said you couldn't do that.
	They did that for about, I don't know, 40 or 50 years.
	They said okay.
	Then they came back and started shipping prisoners back over.
	And they were starting to commit crimes at a really high rate.
	Sanctuary cities as well?
	This seems like a very familiar pattern to history.
	And what they said is, hey, we have... When you say they, you mean...
	They, meaning Great Britain, sending them over to the colonies basically just to piss off the colonies.
	And they said, you know what we have a lot of here?
	Rattlesnakes.
	They don't have those in Great Britain.
	Maybe we should send those over to Great Britain and put them in the gardens where the Prime Minister and all the lords and everybody else walks and they'll learn to kind of tread lightly in those areas.
	And so that's where the don't tread on me thing actually came from.
	So rattlesnakes began to symbolize... Benjamin Franklin.
	Right.
	It began to symbolize Great Britain and oppression.
	Yep.
	That's what it was.
	It was basically saying, you're taking our civil liberties from us.
	So in 1751, Franklin wrote an article suggesting, like I said, sending those rattlesnakes to Great Britain because they were sending prisoners.
	1754.
	Which, by the way, I just love that, that he wanted it.
	I know.
	You know, you think about how proper these guys were.
	Isn't he betrayed?
	He's basically out there discovering electricity.
	Vipers!
	A brood of vipers!
	But I do think we should fight back against taxation without representation with my old trick, Bag O' Snakes!
	OH!
	IT'S A BAG OF SNAKES BUT I'VE NEVER HEARD THIS SOUND COMING OUT OF A REPTILE BEFORE!
	IT'S LIKE A BABY RATTLE!
	ONLY IT KILLS IT'S PAWS!
	Imagine seeing a rattlesnake and hearing it for the first time and you have no idea.
	That's a cool animal!
	What's in this box?
	Oh!
	That sounds like fun!
	I'll put it next to me lawn darts that I play out in rainstorms!
	They were really pissed off about this, by the way.
	It had been going on for almost 30 years by the time Franklin commented on this, by the way.
	They had reinstituted that policy.
	But in 1754, Franklin actually published Join or Die, which was kind of this cartoon showing a snake depicted, kind of pieced into eight pieces, right?
	Yeah.
	And they were saying, look, we are separate colonies, but we are trying to unite the colonies to fight a war.
	This was the French and Indian War that they were talking about.
	They wanted the colonies to unite for control over the Ohio River.
	And so each one of the eight represented a colony.
	So this all had big, specific meaning in unifying against tyrannical government.
	Yes.
	And unifying the colonies, right?
	So they actually had no idea what they were talking about.
	Now, hold on a second.
	You're saying they.
	You're now talking about the school.
	Talking about the school.
	So say Great Britain, say school.
	I apologize.
	I do this often.
	Well, it's because we've all been screwed up in the head with pronouns and stuff.
	I know.
	Every time I read an article about Ezra Miller, it says, there, and I'm like, is there a brood?
	Is he a posse?
	Oh, it's the pronouns!
	No, I'm not going along with it!
	The school didn't know what they were talking about.
	Vanguard, the school, not the corporation trying to destroy your country.
	Which is what she was saying, or I mean, it says it's a private school.
	After a brief history lesson, they said, alright, we'll let it happen.
	Yeah.
	Well, that's what it takes sometimes.
	Education.
	And by the way, the Colorado governor, right?
	Is it Jared Polis?
	Yeah.
	He's a Democrat.
	Oh, I have it in front of me.
	I should just look at it.
	He tweeted support for the flag.
	He said, the Gadsden flag is a proud symbol of the American Revolution and, uh, is this, and a iconic?
	Did he write that?
	And an iconic.
	Did he say N or A?
	A. He said A. Gosh, you're gutted.
	Come on, Jared!
	And an iconic warning to Britain or any government not to violate the liberties of Americans.
	It's a great teaching moment for a history lesson.
	And in this case it's a great teaching moment for dumb teachers and principals.
	Remember I've told you experts are advisors?
	And this is the challenge with children going into school, right, when they're spending eight, nine, sometimes ten hours a day away from their parents.
	They have to submit to the authority of these teachers.
	You want your children to respect authority to some degree, of course, but You want your authority.
	This is why parental rights are so important, to supersede that.
	Unfortunately, you don't have enough time with them, so your children will believe that they're right.
	In other words, unless you had a mom like this mom, who's a hero, by the way, the kid would go through life and, oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know.
	I didn't know that this was a slavery flag.
	I'm sorry.
	I'll take the punishment and I'll move on.
	If I didn't have my dad go into school where they said, we have a zero-tolerance policy.
	Hold on a second.
	My son was being punched in the face, and so he punched back.
	They said, well, we have a zero tolerance policy.
	He said, okay, son, that's stupid.
	Are we done here?
	Let's go get ice cream.
	If I didn't have a dad and a mom like that, I would have said, oh, zero tolerance?
	All violence is equivalent?
	Thank you, principal.
	I appreciate it.
	This is why you need to be involved.
	You need to be involved in your children's lives.
	And It's okay!
	Educate the educators!
	Yeah, absolutely.
	You know, it's also, by the way, you were using the expression half-truth.
	Things like this are actually anti-truths.
	And what I mean by anti-truths is that they are trying to erase what's true about history.
	And doing it in, because either they're ignorant or they're ideologues.
	And that to me is, that's actually more dangerous and more destructive.
	It is.
	But she is unwilling to do any research as well.
	Exactly.
	So this, parents, this is what you're facing.
	Yeah, I know.
	So you have somebody who comes in and says, hey, that's not what this means.
	Somebody who's in a school, a teaching and learning environment, is unwilling to do any research, which is exactly what they're trying to teach kids to do.
	So here's what you can do.
	If the school came back and said something about that, have him do an effing book report on what the Gadsden flag is and submit it to the school district so that they can be educated on it.
	All they had to do was go, OK, you're saying it means something else.
	I didn't know that.
	This person said slavery.
	I thought slavery because I'm an idiot.
	The only reason... Sorry, I cut you off.
	You did, but that's OK.
	Slavery because I'm an idiot.
	I associated it with the Vietnam War.
	I didn't know the full history of it.
	When you were little?
	No, now!
	Like when we talked about it, I'm like, I've seen that flag more with people protesting the government's involvement in Vietnam.
	POW flag.
	Right, exactly.
	So I didn't even think slavery when it came up.
	So I was like, all you have to do is look online and go, oh, we have a Gadsden flag lighter here somewhere.
	But isn't it a Texas thing on your license plate?
	Texas. No, it's not on our license plates.
	See, now Brian can't be bothered to do research.
	I don't know nothing. I don't know anything.
	Hold on, why do you do an accent?
	Because that's my defense mechanism.
	I become Italian. I don't know nothing.
	Because my first language is Italian.
	There might be an option to get one on the Texas license plate, but I don't think so.
	Okay, there might be an option.
	But it's not associated typically with that.
	Look, the only reason that this woman recanted, just to be clear, is because there were enough eyeballs on it.
	That's why you send in your tips.
	That's why we highlight these stories.
	It's more important than the top marginal tax rate.
	Think about this for a second.
	They want your child to spend nine hours a day in a place where men and women, male, female, is a figment of their imagination.
	But the Gadsden flag represents slavery.
	The only reason this teacher, or sorry, assistant principal, I guess was the one who laid down the law finally, the only reason they changed it was because there was some kind of visibility and accountability.
	That's what they fear, is sunlight.
	You don't think that teachers have the right to abuse their authority?
	For crying out loud, I had a teacher at my Centennial Regional High School.
	He demanded that you call him Doctor.
	I called him Mr. May.
	I won't say his name because he'll probably assume.
	Mr. Whatever.
	Anyone out there from Centennial, I know that you watch.
	You remember this guy.
	I didn't call him Doctor.
	By the way, he had a doctorate.
	He had a, sorry, a PhD in philosophy and I called the mister, he made me write a 500 word essay on the sex life
	of a ping-pong ball because he also thought he was a comedian.
	Guy was a dick and the guy did that just because he could, otherwise I'd get an after-school detention, which I wore
	with pride. I didn't write that shit.
	Now, this governor...
	About how the ping-pong ball had a better sex life than the teacher?
	There's a show in Mexico...
	Sorry guys, not here, not for this show.
	This is a family show, sorry.
	So this governor, by the way, also later compared the Gadsden flag, because he had to appease Democrats, to the LGBTQ plus AAIP flag, saying other kids have LGBT flags on their backpacks.
	Hold on, what's AAIP?
	What is that?
	There's asexual, I don't know what the other A1, then there's intersex and pansexual.
	Wow.
	Because in Canada it's... I think it's A-I-I-P.
	I don't know, it doesn't matter.
	Other kids have LGBT flags on their backpacks, others have flags of major political parties or flags that support whatever causes they do, and that's part of learning from one another.
	I understand that, and of course, if the kids want to have an LGBTQ flag, absolutely.
	Now, when it comes to learning, I would say, you know, the historical context of the Revolutionary War and Benjamin Franklin, like you said, attempting to turn this nation into a penal colony, along with introducing an invasive species, so there's an ecology lesson there, is more valuable than chicks with dicks!
	Or guys with tits.
	Well, let's move on to Rachel Maddow.
	She does look like a guy!
	Uh, if at any point, by the way, I don't know if you've already hit this, we have the YouTube dump button so we don't self-censor.
	That means I don't know where to rumble.
	Let's go for the timing.
	Wow, that was, wow, Steven.
	My Red Bull's kicking in, I'm sorry.
	Rachel Maddow.
	Is there anything else we want to say about the gas inflation?
	Nope.
	Move on.
	Maybe we should, let's send that to mom.
	Let's send that mom and the son some merch.
	If anybody can let us know, I don't want to dox you.
	No, I don't want to bring the kids underage.
	If they know, then send it to the Tips line and we'll make sure that we get in touch with them.
	That's what happened with Stephen Williford with the Sutherland Springs shooting.
	Remember?
	His whole family reached out and this is the first show that he did.
	Oh!
	I'm glad you said that!
	I have an update for everybody that you're going to love and we have to say it's not just on Mug Club.
	I want everybody to be able to hear this of somebody who had leukemia about a year ago that reached out to us.
	We sent a merch kit to them and everything.
	Very happy story.
	So, I think we've got somebody in control room who can send that over to us.
	Send it to us before we leave.
	Before we leave, we'll talk about that.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	And you know what?
	We will rely on you guys to comment any platform where you are and tell the... I remember that person.
	I don't remember the name.
	I don't either.
	I remember the story.
	I'm assuming.
	Remission?
	Please.
	Don't do like a bait-and-switch and it's a shallow grave.
	Funeral was a success.
	No, it doesn't have leukemia.
	Turns out it's progeria in a lifespan of 30.
	That's not what's happening.
	I wouldn't do that to you, trust me.
	Progeria.
	It's just such an aging disease, you guys.
	Apparently, Steven thinks it's funny to make fun of kids with advanced aging.
	The whole nation did.
	That's how we deal with it.
	We all turned a blind eye to Charlie Brown.
	Come on.
	I didn't know Charlie Brown was a progeria character.
	Charlie Brown and the great Make-A-Wish patch.
	Now... Ouch!
	Oh, I gotta get off this show.
	Keep going.
	You're already in it.
	Rachel Maddow!
	She might have balls, your honor.
	Who said that?
	And if you can believe it, Murderer's Row on Monday is way worse.
	Way, way worse.
	So on Tuesday, MSNBC host Rachel Maddow, this person predicted that Trump would declare, and I guess we're going to play the full thing and pause and play because it's pretty long but a lot of you saw, not that many people watched Maddow just to be clear.
	I mean there are far more of you, far more of you in Mug Club if you were to actually compare apples to apples.
	This is something that has been echoed, I've seen, by a lot of people on the left, right?
	They're trying to scare you into the idea that if Donald Trump is elected, he's going to, you know, become a Putin or going to become a Kim Jong-il or whichever one you prefer.
	I don't like either.
	Here is Rachel Maddow talking about this from yesterday.
	The election means one of two things, if this is the way he's going to approach it.
	Either he loses the election and he goes to prison.
	Or, he wins the election, he doesn't go to prison, and is that for life?
	That he gets to be president?
	Will we keep having more elections?
	Okay, pause.
	There's an option number three.
	Let's say he doesn't win the election and also doesn't go to prison.
	See the half-truth?
	Assuming guilt.
	Assuming guilt.
	This is someone who doesn't believe in due process.
	You're innocent until proven guilty.
	And if the past is any accurate or reliable indicator of the future, they call him Teflon Don for a reason.
	So her binary choice, that's the one area where she accepts the binary, I guess, also computer coding 00110.
	It's option number one, he wins and he doesn't go to prison, or option number two, he loses and he goes to prison.
	That's not an assumed fact.
	You're trying to say the only way he gets out of being convicted is if he somehow steals an election.
	That's what you're trying to imply.
	It's just, it's not accurate.
	Well, and she's also assuming that he's going to stay in power forever.
	Why?
	She's trying to scare you.
	No, no, no, but he was already, he had that opportunity.
	He was in power, he thought an election was stolen, and we did have a peaceful transition of power.
	I don't understand where this is coming from.
	If you listen to what she says, watch how she finishes this.
	Because what she's equating Trump voters to are terrorists.
	Well, let's let her, and then let's continue watching the young man.
	Now, if every election is a new opportunity for him to go to prison, do you think he allows us to have new elections?
	I mean, if those are the stakes, if winning the election is his plan to stay out of- Hold on a second, pause.
	Hold on a second.
	If the stakes are, every single time, someone you don't like wins the presidency, and once they're out of office, you indict them, the rules have changed!
	Just to be clear, this is unprecedented, certainly for the kind of bullshit that's been going on.
	And I don't know if you know this, but what Barack Obama did to the Donald Trump campaign makes Watergate look like child's play.
	I'm talking about the analogy here, not the film.
	That's terrifying.
	He killed a teacher with a ruler.
	Continue.
	What happens in that election if and when he does not win it?
	Does that kind of an election end with a graceful concession to a fair and square re-elected President Biden?
	Already has.
	Pause.
	Does it end with you spying on your opponent's campaign as Barack Obama did?
	Let's do a whole segment, by the way, on Barack.
	I feel like people gloss over that.
	It's not a conspiracy.
	Barack Obama was spying on... I'm not talking about Russia collusion, just to be clear.
	I'm talking about Barack Obama, they were spying on the incoming president, Donald Trump, on his campaign.
	Nixon didn't even know what happened with Watergate.
	It's the fact that afterwards he tried to cover it up for political reasons because he didn't want to be there.
	You know what Nixon said when he found out about Watergate being bugged?
	You can listen to the phone call.
	Because he was also silly enough to record himself.
	Because he thought, full transparency, I want this for the historical record.
	I believe his exact words are when he's told about they bugged the Watergate.
	He goes, who's the jackass who cleared that?
	Whereas it came directly from Obama.
	So, let's talk about leaving gracefully.
	Or do you mean, like the Clintons?
	Who literally removed the W's from every keyboard in the White House when George W. Bush came in.
	Well, that's kind of funny.
	It is kind of funny!
	But the idea that it's graceful?
	Alright, let's continue.
	I mean, if Trump and his supporters see the stakes as losing and going to prison or winning and being president and probably president for life, how should we expect that he and the Republican Party and Republican officials in swing states are going to handle the conduct of that election that Trump may very well lose?
	And because we are prone to forget, we have to say out loud that we would be remiss, we would be willfully naive To ask that question as if our politics exists in a vacuum, somewhere outside the rest of our news.
	As if the politics pages are totally different than the crime pages, right?
	As if we are not in a moment where far-right politics is coincident with far-right violence.
	With regular shows of force from paramilitary extreme right groups, and with acts of violence by people who are explicitly and admittedly motivated by far-right eliminationist All right, hold on a second.
	Pause this really quickly.
	So there you go.
	Was that the end of it, I guess?
	Yes.
	Okay, that's the end.
	Well, hold on a second.
	Let's go through this while you talk about... And I'm going by rote here.
	Again, you guys kind of see it.
	It's like I don't really have a prompter.
	What I have is a map that tells me which clips we're about to run.
	Going by rote, Black Lives Matter protests, last count we saw was $2 billion, but that
	was within the year of damage.
	Damage has done thousands of casualties between officers and people, not to mention how many
	deaths, and entire towns and economies destroyed.
	Now, we know, you're saying, hold on a second, I don't know if Black Lives Matter, Inc. would
	count as an organization, considering that actual organization funds, which by the way
	was a 501c3, registered publicly, just to be clear, use those funds to buy multi-million
	I think that would qualify as an organization.
	Let's combine that with Antifa.
	You're looking at thousands of casualties and billions of dollars in damages.
	Name me one.
	One right-wing paramilitary group that has inflicted that kind of damage on the American public.
	You know what?
	On the black community itself.
	One.
	Your turn.
	Go.
	I'm not gonna give you your cheat sheet because I already know the answer.
	And this, if you listen to what she's not saying at the end of that, when you say that, what you're really saying is that, hey, anybody who votes for Donald Trump, whether they're a Republican official or they're a voter, is an extreme far-right terrorist.
	So what does that imply?
	What that implies is it would be, it is prudent and it would be advisable to actually arrest, shoot, and silence all of those people.
	So she is calling anyone who supports, anybody she disagrees with, in this case Trump, a far-right violent extremist.
	That is what she's saying.
	I will say this, every single member By the way, when they say, oh, hold on a second, there's far right and there's far left, and I'm a centrist, I take it on an issue-by-issue basis.
	Every single member of the DNC on a national level, every single one, and Rachel Maddow, and every single host at MSNBC is actively involved in supporting violence as a matter of policy.
	Just with the one.
	Correct.
	Castrating chemically children, or puberty blockers.
	That's violence.
	You are committing violence against children.
	You are already more of an extremist.
	No, it is not an extremist point of view to respond with, I don't want my son, I don't want a teacher to be able to report me to CPS and take my children away if I don't put him on puberty blockers.
	Why is that?
	Are you an extremist?
	Because he's six!
	How about partial birth abortion?
	Yep.
	Any one of you want to stand up, put a limit on abortion.
	We're not even getting to...
	Hey, how many war crimes has Donald Trump...
	Where's Code Pink?
	Donald Trump been drafted up for?
	Zero?
	Yeah.
	We're talking about violence?
	In that very same speech, here's the funny thing, which is he won't relinquish power.
	Let's go back to January 6th.
	He said, March on Washington, make your voices heard peacefully and patriotically.
	If he's a dictator, you think we'd be having a debate about whether Mike Pence had the authority to certify the election?
	It would be irrelevant, because he'd walk, he'd just ride in in a Panzer!
	By the way, Rachel Maddow went on to explain more about this, or try and sort of, I guess, reconcile her position with her inconsistencies, but unfortunately she was kidnapped and used as bait for Batman.
	So she has a full schedule.
	She makes a good Robin.
	She does.
	I like that you used a Panzer.
	That's a World War II, a German World War II tank reference.
	Well done, sir.
	Well done.
	President Trump's a Renaissance man.
	I did not know that.
	They don't make them like they used to!
	Is this a half-track?
	And by the way, this is not the first time that the left has tried to insinuate that
	Donald Trump would be a dictator.
	It's a It's a catchy tune.
	Sorry.
	I love how that actually supposes that Donald Trump will never age and live forever.
	And by the way, I was assured that we would not be on this planet anymore because climate change would have taken us out far before we would ever get to 21 anything.
	How dare you!
	This is the stupidity of her argument right now.
	Brian, you made a great point.
	I double dog dare you!
	How dare you?
	I hate all of you.
	Go on, he's talking about my great point.
	Hold on a second, let me set this up first.
	Hold on, because I want you to finish, but just so you guys and girls and Z's watching, we are going to compare actual dictator moments of former Vice President Joe Biden to Donald Trump, but continue.
	Exactly.
	Brian, you had an okay point.
	Great, it's been downgraded.
	It has been downgraded.
	Thanks, Stephen.
	Your point has made landfall.
	So basically, he is saying that you're othering somebody and you're basically saying that they are the threat to democracy, they're going to steal this country.
	Let's look at the policies that we are actually trying to get put into place.
	Make sure that the elections are secure.
	We think that something fishy happened last time.
	We didn't overthrow them.
	We tried to use every legal means possible to address the situation.
	We even did a fully peaceful transfer of power even after we thought that the elections were stolen and you guys didn't do anything about it.
	And now all we're saying, I'm just, I'm trying to call it a hunch.
	I'm trying to give them a little bit.
	All we're saying, all we're saying is, hey, for us to have a functioning Democratic process of electing a president, you have to make sure that the elections are secure.
	That's all we're asking for.
	Okay, Pol Pot!
	But that is, exactly, that is seen as violent and far-right to make sure... Well, first thing you're asking for voter ID, next thing you're demanding your citizens clank pots and pans so they kill all the sparrows who are destroying their crops.
	Well, that's not a bad idea sometimes.
	The grackles.
	I hate the grackles.
	The architecture.
	Rachel Maddow is providing the architecture for tyranny.
	When she says something like that, the next step is, she's saying that people are trying, that will use violence to keep Donald Trump in for life.
	So what do you do about that?
	Well, you've got to get the army involved.
	Well, remember the old philosophy, the exercise we would have, and I know this, I took Humanities 101 in college, whereas, would you go back in time and kill baby Hitler?
	Well, that's not even an issue now, because they're saying, Hitler is there now!
	Donald Trump!
	Yeah.
	Donald Trump is Hitler!
	That's right.
	Don't go back in time and kill baby Hitler, you're telling people, kill currently existing Hitler.
	That's true.
	Let's compare this with what I would argue, and you guys can add to this if you want, it's an interactive experience, that's why old media is dead.
	Some dictator moments.
	Dictator moment number one, from former Vice President Joe Biden.
	Completely ignoring the Constitution.
	And let me give you some examples, all references available at loudmouthcutter.com.
	The rent moratorium, remember that?
	In August in 2021, the Supreme Court ended that CDC federal eviction moratorium.
	But the Supreme Court said, nah, they can't do that.
	What did Biden do, former Vice President Biden?
	He just said, I'm going to do it.
	Here's a clip.
	By the time it gets litigated, We'll probably give some additional time while we're getting that $45 billion out to people who are, in fact, behind in the rent.
	Now here's the thing, that would still be pretty bad if it was the end of it, but the Supreme Court in November of that year said, uh, absolutely not.
	Your extension is completely unconstitutional.
	They went, they made sure to say, no, no, we really want people to know that you are violating the constitution here.
	He knew it 100%.
	He knew it!
	He just said so!
	Exactly.
	The CDC's thing expired.
	They said you can't do this in the federal government.
	Joe Biden said, you know what, we're gonna do it.
	I know that this is unconstitutional, but between now and when the court can actually hear the case, we'll give away a bunch of free money, huh?
	How is that not authoritarian?
	Well, here's the thing.
	If it was the only example we had, you know, if a senile old demented circus monkey existed.
	But as long as it's not your money, it's fine.
	It is our money!
	And I need it now!
	So, student loan forgiveness.
	Very similar example, but this was in 2023, I believe, so you have June 2023, the Supreme Court ruled that Biden could not just unilaterally forgive student loans.
	And by the way, unilaterally forgive student loans, just to be clear, that means take your money and give it to someone getting a master's in gender studies.
	Just to be clear.
	It's, by the way, the single biggest government-mandated transfer of wealth that would ever exist in this country.
	Why?
	Because the people who would be receiving these loans are largely upper-middle class white people.
	We did a whole segment on it, you can just search through our archive.
	So, the Supreme Court said, absolutely not, you can't do that.
	And what did former Vice President Biden say?
	Yeah, I can do it!
	The Biden administration says more than 800,000 student loan borrowers will have their remaining federal student loans forgiven over the next several weeks.
	Today's announcement will impact $39 billion in student debt, according to the Department of Education.
	This will be automatic forgiveness and borrowers will be notified.
	It kicks off the president's new student debt relief program called SAVE, which will lower monthly federal debt payments based on factors like income, family size, in some cases reducing monthly payments to zero.
	Yeah, just reduce them.
	Well, no, that's not loan forgiveness.
	It's just reducing your payments to zero.
	Yeah.
	What?
	I'd love to do that when I go into... That's wrapping a bad idea in a pretty package.
	It really is!
	Going to your bank for a mortgage.
	Well, look, we think we can do this as a percent on financing.
	Yeah, okay, but let's talk about the payments.
	How do you feel here at Chase about Yeah, I'm gonna need this.
	I'm gonna need this.
	That's this loan on the house.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I know you're saying, you know, $2,400.
	I'm a zero guy myself.
	I want you to take that check, add a bunch of zeros, and take off anything else.
	Free money!
	So here's another dictator moment from former Vice President Joe Biden.
	This is a big one.
	Hey, my body, my choice?
	What about the vaccine mandates?
	You know what?
	That's giving it too much credit.
	The mRNA injection.
	Experimental.
	Yes, the mRNA experimental injection mandates.
	August 2021, right, the military mandated COVID vaccine for any of the service members.
	Okay, now I know you're saying military, that's government, but hold on a second.
	This really, they don't have the right to tell you what you can do, what you can put into your body and every other facet.
	They can bar you, for example, from service or certain, if you're taking drugs.
	This is not something that's typical to say you have to take an experimental mRNA injection.
	It's not the same as a standard vaccine.
	That's why I don't want to use the term vaccine.
	So the military mandated it.
	Then on January 19th, 2023, the mandate was rescinded.
	Oh.
	Because over 17,000 service members refused the vaccine.
	The good news is, at that point, the people who stayed were the LGBTQ soldiers, or as we call them, super soldiers.
	The front line.
	There were 83 front, the front, those at the front hall.
	8,300 were discharged.
	Then in November 2021, the Biden administration mandated a bunch of COVID regulations.
	Any firms with 100 employees All had to be vaccinated, I believe, by January 1st, 2022.
	Was that the policy?
	January 4th, 2022.
	Yep.
	January 4th, 2022.
	The holidays.
	Yeah.
	All healthcare workers at facilities receiving government payment had to have their workers vaccinated.
	So now we've gone beyond, okay, you work for the government, right?
	This is what people do with freedom of speech.
	Well, if freedom of speech just means that the government can't tell you what you can and can't do.
	They go, well, the mandate doesn't apply.
	That just means if you want to work for the government.
	Then they go, well, it just means it applies if you want to work for any company that receives any money from the government.
	And then it goes, well it really only applies if you work for any company who receives any kind of tax break, that every single company would need to be competitive, including mom and pop businesses.
	And then it's, well look, everyone else has been mandated at this point, why are you special?
	That's how it happens.
	So all of the healthcare workers at these facilities, right, who are receiving any type of government aid, subsidies, relief, which of course at that point in time think a lot of people were because they had been shut down!
	Pretty much everyone.
	Sorry, this is pretty much everybody being involved in this.
	And then you're saying, well, it's consequent.
	Well, thousands of health care workers quit or were fired.
	Thousands and thousands and thousands.
	I wonder how that affected care.
	By the way, I just want to make sure you understand the timeline here.
	So August 2021 is 16 months after the outbreak of the pandemic.
	We knew a heck of a lot by then.
	January 4, 2022 is almost a year, a little bit over a year and a half, a year and eight months after this.
	And you're telling me that people still had to be vaccinated even though we understood
	that the vaccine by that time we understood this stuff.
	the vaccine did have some, they were, they were kind of, yeah, like, you were told.
	Hey, from former Vice President Biden.
	While they're talking about Donald Trump weaponizing, right, the government, this guy, former Vice
	President Biden, and by the way, so did Barack Obama, just to be clear.
	Barack Obama, current president, weaponized the Justice Department against all political
	rivals, right?
	Trump, obviously.
	The DOJ filed a bunch of federal charges against Donald Trump.
	Four indictments, right?
	He's facing 91 charges.
	That's what we're up to now.
	712 years in prison and the theoretic death penalty.
	Just to be clear, that's kind of existing out there.
	Yeah, the six months. And the theoretic death penalty, just to be clear, that's kind of
	existing out there. Yeah, for treason. I mean, Carla Homolka got less.
	At the same time, again, is the law treated equally?
	Well, Hunter Biden was treated, of course, with kid gloves.
	This is a guy who not only evaded taxes, this is a guy who obviously violated firearms laws, this is a guy who committed, I mean, as long of a list of drug felonies as you can think up, and then some that you wouldn't even imagine, you can tack that on the list anyway, not to mention the kind of money laundering and deal- that's why, of course, he was But at least he gave his four-year-old two of his original paintings.
	Yes.
	So you got to be a little bit fair.
	And he gave his niece two of his original nude photographs.
	Yes, but they're tasteful nudes.
	He was posing on a log.
	Yes, exactly.
	With good shadow.
	Unfortunately, it was a cheese log, so I don't know.
	It's just doesn't seem sanitary.
	It's called cholesterol.
	January 6th.
	Let's look at the January 6th protesters, right?
	Prisoners.
	Putting those conditions.
	Think about this.
	The QAnon shaman.
	I know you guys like to laugh.
	Like, oh, it's silly.
	He painted his face.
	Yeah.
	So does everyone who goes to, or every super fan of a college football team, to be clear.
	The guy said, let's be peaceful.
	This guy was put in, this guy was put in prison.
	For a long time, the ACLU said prolonged solitary confinement is torture and certainly should not be used as a punitive tool to intimidate or extract cooperation.
	That's the ACLU.
	And do you know who agrees that weaponizing the DOJ is bad?
	Mr. Rachel Maddow.
	I don't know what I expected to hear from outgoing Obama administration officials, but the answer that I got surprised me.
	The answer that I got was that the worst case scenario they could imagine was that the president, the incoming president, That'd be Trump.
	Donald Trump would use the Justice Department as a weapon.
	But that is the single most dangerous thing that a president could do to the country on his own say-so.
	The awesome power of federal criminal prosecution and federal criminal investigation should be seen as essentially a domestic nuclear bomb from an ill-intentioned president.
	Hey, you know what else I would toss in with the DOJ or our intelligence community?
	Let's wrap it all up into one shitty sack of...
	So with Giuliani, they raided his apartment.
	and took everything but the Hunter Biden laptop.
	Which they already had in their possession at the time.
	Another one of them.
	They knew about it.
	So I'd love for you to comment below.
	If you could give me some other examples.
	I know sometimes we just don't have enough time in the day.
	We probably won't be able to get to the CBC story today.
	Let's do that one tomorrow.
	Yeah, because we want to do the update with the Mug Club members.
	Smash the Rumble button.
	It helps with the algorithm there on Rumble.
	And of course it's a live show Monday through Thursday.
	Man, that was good.
	Joe, what are you doing?
	I'm sorry, man.
	I didn't eat breakfast.
	I just needed a quick bite of pudding.
	I was getting kind of hungry.
	Pudding?
	It's going late here.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Really, Gerald?
	You're eating pudding?
	Yeah, it's the pudding from MyPatriotSupply.
	You're eating the pudding from the three-month bucket of the MyPatriotSupply?
	Wow.
	Oh my god, this is so good.
	I know, right?
	So creamy.
	Please don't tell me that it is pudding as well, Brian.
	I'm tired.
	It's just very good.
	It's very creamy.
	Just don't eat the pudding, okay guys?
	You're always eating... I don't care if you dip into broccoli cheddar soup, it's good also.
	I can't, I'm on carnivore.
	And so the way to solve that is through pudding!
	Yeah.
	Brian, this is why I have like four three-month emergency food buckets back there from Patriot Supply.
	None of which have pudding!
	Yeah, but you can just get more because Patriot Supply is doing a $200 free delivery for the three-month kit.
	Well, that doesn't help me if I keep ordering them and I don't have any pudding.
	See, the problem is that the rate-limiting factor here is not the kits, which are great kits!
	Don't get me wrong.
	So wait, you want me to eat only the pudding?
	No, I want you to stop eating the pudding.
	No, no, no.
	See, I thought you... No, no.
	He's right.
	I thought you wanted us to just eat only the pudding.
	Yeah, that's what I thought.
	Only the pudding.
	Why would I want you to only eat the pudding?
	I don't know.
	I thought I was... It was weird and that's what I'm saying.
	Yeah, that's what we thought too.
	God, this feels good in my mouth.
	Was that...
	I love it!
	Do you have pudding on your...
	You don't even need teeth for this.
	You don't even need teeth for this.
	Yeah.
	Sorry.
	Sorry.
	What's the matter with you guys?
	It's so chocolatey.
	Stop eating.
	Fine, we'll deal with the pudding later.
	Alright.
	Three month food kit from Patriot Supplies.
	$200 off with free delivery.
	You can head over to uh...
	Oh, I don't have a logo here.
	They have the balls to sponsor the show.
	I think it's the first sponsor on the show here in months.
	We don't do a whole lot because it's usually viewers like you, but get your food kit, emergency food kit, Patriot Supply.
	And by the way, Patriot Supply, if you're watching, can you send me a kit with just the pudding wrapped in a spiked chastity belt so that I can keep it away from these absolute animals?
	It's delicious.
	I think you should improve your communication skills.
	I'm not very good at this.
	It goes down so smooth.
	Yeah, I know you gave me the book.
	Yeah, but you gotta read it.
	You can go to prepwithkreider.com.
	I can read!
	Can you read the label that says pudding?
	I can read the... And just to be clear, by the way, while you guys are out there, you don't, hey, you used to think you needed to be a crazy prepper?
	Have you had to deal with an earthquake?
	Think of what's going on in Hawaii right now.
	A lot of people don't have access to food.
	I live through the ice storms.
	Everyone should have at least three months of food.
	Dried food, some water, and some way to heat the food.
	I also recommend stocking up on Everclear.
	You can use it as fuel, you can use it as a disinfectant, or you can use it to trade with the drunks.
	That's right.
	With the marauding drunks.
	Or a hurricane.
	Marauding drunks.
	Hurricane in Florida right now?
	Yep.
	People think that, you know, if a disaster hits that somebody's gonna land a helicopter in your backyard.
	It's not true.
	Right.
	I'm gonna getcha.
	You gotta be ready.
	Yeah, especially if you're waiting on Kobe.
	What's the story you were telling me?
	I need two sticks and I can make fire.
	All right, so let's go to a moving story, I guess, and I'll put it later.
	No, you said you had an update.
	I do.
	I have an update.
	So we had one of our people, go ahead and bring up the comment or tweet, or not tweet, it was somebody in Mug Club, I believe, that put it back.
	Sorry, we'll address the issue of the LGBT travel warning.
	For Canada to the United States tomorrow, because it is funny and there's a lot going on there.
	It's entirely government-funded news, but we just don't have time today.
	Right.
	So Mug Club, we want to thank you guys for support like this, right?
	So this is a praise report coming.
	My son is officially in remission from the leukemia.
	Praise God he's walking again.
	That is fantastic.
	Thank you all for the prayers and advice Steven and the crew you gave me a year ago.
	I took it to heart and now we're in a better place.
	Thought I'd give you some good news in these dark times.
	Mug Club fan for life.
	That's from Mac5743.
	I think it might be a second screen to that or something like that, but he got merch from us.
	We sent him a merch kit, like, because the son, you know, liked the show and it was just a dark time for them.
	I remember this story.
	Yeah, because that cures cancer.
	No, exactly right.
	It was just something, it was a small thing.
	We do what we can.
	But I'm really excited about that.
	I really am.
	Because, you know, we care about people.
	Like, we can't cure cancer, like you said.
	But when somebody's going through a tough time, sometimes just a little ray of joy or hope or something is what can get you through maybe just that day.
	Maybe that hour.
	So thank you guys for allowing us to do that.
	Okay, I'm just saying.
	Mutagenic cells, they feed on sugar.
	I know, but I forget everything.
	I heard Huberman say it once.
	I know, but I forget about all the bad stuff.
	Did you say we have another screen grab from it?
	No, I thought we would, but we don't.
	I think it's just basically saying that he got a bunch of merch stuff as well.
	Thank you guys.
	I love this.
	I mean, thank you for sending us that.
	We really do appreciate it.
	And you know what?
	Let's talk about the Canada, the LG, we'll talk about it on Mug Club in just a moment here.
	We can do that.
	Yeah, we still have time to do that.
	I will tell you this, when I retire, I am going to be a shopping mall Santa.
	There's nothing that I enjoy more throughout the year than doing the... I just want to say how.
	No, no.
	How, how, how.
	Come on, stay in your lane.
	No, we always get to pick charities, you know, and this year we got to really bless a lot of people, but also just sitting there and, you know, you just get to actually improve someone's life.
	With a kid, listen, the kids just want to be listened to a lot of the time.
	It's one of those things.
	I really enjoy it.
	I will do it.
	I think when I retire, I will be a full-time Santa, if that's a shopping mall Santa, you know, if it's a cat burglar.
	The point is, as long as I get to wear the suit.
	I cannot wait to sit on your lap.
	And you know what?
	Let me say this, and Brian Count, where are you going to be?
	I'm glad you asked.
	I'll be at Wise Guys, Salt Lake City, and then September 23rd I'm at the Genesee Theater in Melbourne, Florida.
	Just saying, Utah has no alcohol.
	Before we go to Mugler, I just want to take a minute to actually kind of, it brings up a thought, you know.
	I'll tell you this too, it's also a little bit selfish.
	I'm someone, I've discussed this, someone who's struggled with, you know, depression.
	I've talked about this quite a bit.
	On the show.
	And if you struggle with that, or if you're in a funk, the best thing you can do is, well two things, first off is be grateful for things that you have, list them out as gratitude, and esteem others first.
	And Gerald knows this, I'm one of those people who, I'm very grateful, but sometimes happiness is difficult for me to come by, and it's because I'm being ushered from the next thing that day, where it's not something, and this is a genetic component by the way, there have been studies on this, some people just have A more natural proclivity toward being happy.
	And I don't mean being friendly or polite, there's never an excuse for not being polite, but I'm talking about joy, to being joyous.
	And for me, as someone who struggled with that, I do find that living vicariously through other people, meaning getting to bring joy to others, is really the way that I experience joy the most.
	And that's why, you've heard me talk about this for years, I love doing the Santa Claus thing, just because you get to experience it.
	It's not a big deal, a nerf gun, right, to you, but that's that kid's world.
	And so even if I'm an extreme example and maybe you're a naturally happy person, but you're going through a rough spell, that's not a bad idea to try and experience joy vicariously through someone else.
	If right now you're saying, hey, it's tough for me to come by.
	I can't get out of this funk.
	I just can't find a way to put myself in a good mood.
	See if there's a way that you can make someone else experience joy.
	And see if that actually brings you some happiness.
	And I get it, it's a little bit selfish, but they'll get to benefit from that too.
	And then if you make that a way of life, it really does change your outlook.
	And so, I really am glad that this person is doing better, and I will also, yep, be full transparency.
	Selfishly, that's a little dopamine hit for me that I don't often get through, you know, just living through natural methods.
	I mean, I get it absolutely when I just do a boatload of fentanyl.
	I don't know if it works in this thing.
	The next time you have a craving for fentanyl, just look in my face.
	That should be your screensaver.
	You're doing it wrong.
	My face produces endorphins.
	I thought you were going to say it's sort of like the harm reduction strategy.
	The next time you want a boatload of fentanyl, just take Vicodin.
	I see.
	It's like the methadone.
	I step back.
	Like instead of eating a pint of ice cream, you know, eat a popsicle.
	And then you move to like a Fuji apple.
	I just never find myself getting there.
	They are the sweetest in the apple family.
	No, that would be Honeycrisp.
	You guys can comment your favorite apple.
	I like apples.
	It's like God's candy because you don't need to worry about it being bad.
	If it's bad, you know it.
	With a raspberry, you're too far gone and it just ruins your whole day.
	Alright, we're going to continue discussing right now.
	Canada just issued a travel warning for LGBTQ plus members.
	This will be if you're watching on Rumble.
	Hit that button.
	You have to join Mug Club, $69, sorry, $89 annually, and you get this show, another full hour of show, a Friday show, Alex Jones on Friday, Nick DiPaolo, every Monday through Thursday, 5 p.m.
	We're going to be bringing on new shows here in the next month.
	Brian Callen, Hodge Twins, of course we have Mr. Guns and Gear as a consultant, we have the investigative unit, and you get this hand-etched mug.
	You're a part of something, it's the biggest crew that exists at Big Tech.
	We thank you, and I live vicariously through you because everyone serves a master, and I'd much rather it be you.
	Than corporate front-haul overlords.
	Thank you, Rumble.
