YouTube Demonetizes Russell Brand Over Unproven Allegations!
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
It's a simple concept, Mug Club.
We bleed, so you don't have to.
When you join up, we have to be able to say what it is that you can't say.
Otherwise, we're stealing from you.
So Mug Club is exactly what has allowed us, all of us, to remain completely independent since 2016.
Before that, online revenue was generated by ads.
YouTube, Facebook, they kept telling us what kind of content we were permitted to post, what kind of creators they would be happy to work with, and exactly what kind of people, what kind of conservatives would be put in the corner.
We're growing Mug Club.
We're growing Mug Club!
I can't stomach it then, I can't stomach it now, and no one here can, and because of MugClub, because of you, we don't have to.
When I say it's you, it's not just a buzzword.
It's precisely because of you, MugClub, that these things are now even permissible on these big tech platforms.
When an entity comprised of nothing more than all of you, all of you, You are who we serve, you are to whom we are beholden, and you are the driver of billions of views.
The people who want to silence you, who want to dictate what you hear, who hate everything you stand for, well, guess what?
They can't de-platform us all.
We didn't start this fight, we don't want it.
But if you want to fight, you better believe you've got one!
Nick DiPaola, Alex Jones, Thug Club Undercover, Rumble is on!
So now as a full-fledged network, Mug Club is bigger than them.
And that's why all of us here are genuinely free.
You, Mug Club, are the reason that they are scared.
HELL'S COMING WITH ME!
We can keep fighting.
because of mugs on them.
Remember, none of this is possible without you.

You just made my list, Toolman.
As we were coming into the show, what was that adjustment?
My balls were all bunched up.
And he stands up and he goes, he had this look of abject panic.
Like he realized, oh no, we're about to go live, I have to do this.
Sorry.
Just glad you didn't leave the camera on yourself.
Thank goodness you work here.
We had 10 seconds.
We have a pro ball policy.
Ambrose, now!
Glad to be with you.
Hey, you know what?
Howard Stern can call us horrible people, which we'll be talking about today, so this is the rundown.
You have Howard Stern, now he's decided that, you know, he wants to use Lauren Boebert to virtue signal.
That's correct.
Howard Stern is virtue signaling.
Now, at the same time, we have Russell Brand, who has now been demonetized on YouTube for allegations that are decades old and have yet to be proven.
He has yet to be charged, but YouTube has decided that that may harm their current viewers.
We'll get into the UAW strike.
How that affects you, exactly.
A lot of you may not realize this, but your problem isn't necessarily with the UAW.
It's with the fact that they're... Who is the UAW striking against?
You, the taxpayer.
Because these auto manufacturers cease to exist if not for your never-ending supply of bailout funds.
And we have a guest, Owen Schreyer.
Do you guys know him over there?
Of course, Alex Jones at MadMaxWorld.tv.
I almost said the wrong word.
I think he's been charged, I believe.
No, he was sentenced for 60 days.
Sentenced for simply being there on January 6th.
We will have him on the show.
And look, we're able to talk about this.
We're able to talk about Russell Brand being demonetized.
We're able to stay in the pocket of him.
We're able to have the I was about to say the UAW.
The Owen Schreyeron?
The Owen Schreyeron.
We're able to have him on regardless of YouTube rules because of Mug Club.
That's it.
We're back on YouTube today, so please hit the like button.
I would even say if you're watching on Rumble right now, just switch over to YouTube really quick to hit like and help with that algorithm because they want you to believe that we are dead, we were suspended, we'll probably be suspended again.
And then go back to Rumble.
And then go back over to Rumble.
What are you doing?
And if at any point during today's show, if you're new here, you're watching on YouTube and you see this, that means that it's available on Rumble, right?
There's a slight delay.
You said something.
Yeah, there's a few second delay so we can dump it on YouTube.
We're not going to self-censor.
That's the best that we have.
All right.
I think we've gotten all of that out of the way.
Let me ask you this.
How many of you still believe that it's better to buy American?
No, it's a UAW strike.
You should be American by American.
Well, hold on a second.
It's still cheap Chinese crap that's assembled in America by American communists.
So I'd rather just go with the cheaper communists at that point.
How about you just be good?
Yeah, be American by the best.
Alright, there he is, number two CEO.
You were feeling a little bit out of sorts yesterday.
I was feeling weird yesterday.
I don't know why.
I was just tired.
I don't know.
We'll see.
Big day.
Big day.
Big day yesterday.
Yeah, I'm good today.
How are you?
I'm fine.
I had to rub some Tiger Balm on my neck and I broke my own law and went to the restroom after without trouble washing my hands.
That's why I have no sympathy for Tim, Toolman, who had to make the adjustment.
You think I don't want to?
Tiger Balm!
Must be nice, Toolman.
If you google Icy Hot O, the first thing that shows up is Icy Hot on Balls, that's what's suggested.
Don't do it, don't.
Or Eyes.
You guys can comment below if that's ever happened to you.
Icy Hot, come on guys, you all know that's happened.
And in third chair, he puts a smile on her face when you hear this.
You know it is.
Thursday, October 19th, we'll be at the Summit City Comedy Club in Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Sorry, I have to go to Indiana.
Josh Feierstein, how are you, sir?
Good, good.
I'm doing good.
By the way, I'm not supporting the auto industry.
I'm going to travel by balloon only.
Really?
Yeah.
It's eco-friendly.
You get in a hot air balloon and just float on down.
But I saw that film with the guy, was it the Arianauts?
Whatever it is with the guy from, he played Stephen Hawking?
The Big Lips?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that guy.
I'd love to see Stephen Hawking in a balloon.
Just with the controls.
This was a bad idea.
Oh, shit.
This was too high.
He's dead.
He puts the cripple in the basket.
Because the hot air balloon is a basket that you ride in.
That's pretty cute.
It would have landed north-south and said, it puts the cripple in the basket!
I'm not good at impressions.
I think it softens the blow for the word cripple.
But it's a fun word.
Alright.
You're already having notes being passed, Gerald?
Is there something I need to know?
It said check yes or no.
Would you please stay out of it?
What did you check?
What did you check?
For what?
Is this about the U.N.
Assembly?
I checked no.
Is this about the U.N.
Assembly?
No.
So, I passed a note to our team.
I saw Biden speaking and I'm like, I don't care that he's speaking.
I said, be on the lookout for Biden gaffes at the U.N.
speech.
Alright, really quickly, let's just see what he's saying.
I'm going to say something stupid.
with the eyes of the world upon all of you, all of us.
As President of the United States, I understand the duty my country has to lead in this critical
moment. To work with countries in every region, linking them in common cause.
To join together with partners who share a common vision of the future of the world.
Well, look, I will say this.
No one shares the progressive left's vision of the world.
We've talked about this before.
There are a couple of times where I've looked back now and said, hey, maybe we're the bad guys.
And I don't mean America, I don't mean the founding fathers, I don't mean the red, white, and blue and what it stands for.
But the vision, for example, of puberty blockers, of sex changes for kids, of never-ending bailouts for not only union companies, of course, like the auto manufacturers, but also Did everyone just decide to cough?
That was like nine people coughing!
Of Pfizer, Moderna, of forced vaccination mandates, of locking ourselves down, of control of every single one of your private decisions, of silencing people for wrong think.
Who shares that?
This is the first time where actually I don't really know if the vision that former Vice President Biden is talking about, I don't know if that's something we want to export.
Genuinely, there used to be a point in time where even if you were a non-interventionist,
you at least had some semblance of the idea that America was trying to, at the very least,
bring maybe their brand of freedom, which was rejected by these countries, for example,
in the Middle East or across a lot of Asia, but we're not even really trying to export
Freedom now!
Our vision is, hey, do what we do, and that's taking children away from parents, and that's not having transparent and honest elections, and that's having our government step on big tech to ensure that people with differing points of view are no longer allowed there.
I don't really, I mean you can comment, it's the first time where I feel really conflicted
that if I were in, I don't know, if I were in a country somewhere in Eastern Europe and
I saw what at one point in time would be that cavalry coming over that hill, America, I'd
be like, you know what, we're good, stay back.
I don't know that it's something that the rest of the world wants to be on board with anymore.
And I don't know that it's something I want to be on board with anymore.
The country, yes.
It's founding, yes.
You, yes.
But this guy?
I don't want anything that he's selling to be exported to others.
I think the world would be a worse place if his vision in the DNC and Kamala Harris' vision and Elizabeth Warren's vision and Hillary Clinton's vision and Gavin Newsom's vision and Gretchen Whitmer's vision, again, think of what they would do completely unfettered.
Think of what the world would look like if Gretchen Whitmer, if Gavin Newsom were in charge of the UN.
That's a bad, bad place!
Yeah, it's an incredibly fair point to make, too.
We want the country that we grew up with, not the country that we have right now run by these guys.
It's the reverse Michael Obama, where, you know, he said that for the first time when my husband was elected, I felt proud of my country.
For the first time, I will say this as an American, I'm not ashamed to be American, but I am ashamed of what we are exporting to the world.
A part of me is embarrassed by it for the first time.
You can comment below, or hit like if you're on YouTube, And you feel that.
I don't think that makes you any less of a patriot.
I think it makes you a patriot to what this country is supposed to actually be.
Alright.
If they say anything else at the UN, stupid.
But they will.
Case in point, right here, a Dallas church.
When you think of Dallas, you probably think of the show, The Fountain, but you probably think of America, you probably think of patriotism, maybe some cowboy hats, and by the way, anyone who wears a cowboy hat in Texas who's not a natural rancher, you're a dick.
No you're not.
I saw a bunch of them at Globe Life yesterday.
Oh really?
Stop it, all of you.
So fake.
New balances and a cowboy hat, shut up!
And have a Stetson.
No, actually this is a Yellowstone branded hat.
That's true.
Authentic.
I don't like those cowboys.
You see my fleur-de-lis jeans?
Hey, that's me!
A Dallas church now has been giving an unorthodox blessing to drag queens in the pews.
You're better off being religious wrong.
God.
Drag queens up there.
in which those family values, if you will, have been hijacked by the religious right.
You'd be better off being religious wrong.
Ha ha ha.
...in themselves, the evil way, and the justice, who proclaim love and then the price of all
evil.
Drag queens up there, I think there were about 40 of them.
Just zombies.
not a joke. Right. At least they're hanging God's promise to Noah. Hey,
hold on a second. How does that come up? How does that come up as far as
look, you can actually be a liberal and say, hey, you know what, I'm
Episcopalian, which basically means you're nothing at this point. But you
can say, all right, so they allow, you know, same sex marriage. But how does
that, how is that relevant in any way to a position of leadership in the
Nowhere else, like, hey, could you, Mr. Morgan, you're married, could you come up and tell, of course, our congregation what position you prefer?
Any hole will do.
I understand, I understand.
Any hole will do.
I understand this is more...
...relevancy and this is the failure...
...relevancy and this is the failure...
So let me just say this.
You're wrong on so many things, but you said radical inclusivity.
It could not be less relevant to the word of the Lord.
Aside from the whole abomination thing.
And then by the way, it is reiterated in Romans.
And I get it.
Drag queens may not be gay, right?
They're genderqueer.
Some of them just like kids.
That was a pride flag in the background.
So let me just say this.
You're wrong on so many things.
But you said radical inclusivity.
You know who was not radically inclusive?
Jesus.
I am the way, the truth, and the life is a very exclusive statement.
It brings it down to one.
Right.
He is the only way.
You can't be a church.
I even had to ask the question.
I talked to our team about this.
I was like, is this a Christian church or is this just like one of those churches that says they're a church that doesn't really believe anything?
No!
No, it's actually a Christian church that's doing this.
And if you're trying to do outreach to the gay community, I understand that.
I actually worked with some churches in Dallas who did that back when I was doing ministry school to try to help outreach.
And some guys that had come out of being homosexual and actually were now straight and married and had wife and kids and were trying to do outreach to them.
It worked fine.
That's fine.
But that's not what this is.
This is basically saying everything's okay.
Doesn't matter what God's Word says.
It matters how you feel and being inclusive and tearing down systems of this.
And the religious right?
What in the hell are you talking about?
It's not a far-fringe policy to say that God says life is found here and it's not found here.
You can't go, but God's wrong.
It can also be found there because love is love.
He's one of those extremists who doesn't think that drag queens should be at church up in front of children.
What a dork.
Let's call the Anti-Defamation League and get him enlisted as an extremist.
That's a real church, though, for sure, because you could tell because the Reverend had a scarf of many colors.
Yes, he did.
Like Joseph.
That's right.
The Technicolor Dreamcoat.
Or Desmond Tutu, which is actually just a stage name for burlesque.
He wears a scarf and the nipple tassels.
Puts a lot of work in.
I'll give him credit for the effort.
It's evil!
All right.
Mommy, why are there clowns in church?
That's what you would hear from kids.
Yeah, exactly.
Yes.
Yes.
Hey, Mom, why are there a bunch of people who are wearing the colors that all animals show in nature to warn for fear, venom, or danger?
On their face.
Bright colors and large, scary teeth.
Nothing about this is church.
It's not that, look, you want to dress up and go into a gay bar, nobody cares.
Remember, you're in a church.
We're not even talking about now on the street in a gay pride parade.
You're a church.
You're a church.
I don't want to wear a polo either, but I'm dressing up for the part.
You go to Old Navy and you grab yourself some khaki cargoes if you have to.
You suck it up for a little bit.
Let us know, guys.
We're thinking about going down to some of these churches that are pushing agendas like this and actually having some conversations.
Let me know if you guys want us to go and do that.
Remember when they used to say it was a conspiracy, that there was a gay agenda?
Now they actually have it outlined with LGBTQ+, and they have it on the church agenda.
Literally, in words, agenda.
That was their entire day.
We'll do praise and worship, we'll pass the offering, feel free to put in your fake cocks, and then we will continue with... Then we'll break for Sunday school!
Let us know if you need the extra large plate to be passed around.
Yeah, then they throw in condoms instead of money.
Can you imagine?
I mean, Jesus threw tables at the temple because they were selling stuff.
I know.
This was the service.
What do you think Jesus Christ would have done?
Just to get rid of it.
By the way, this isn't a pious thing.
What do you think Jesus Christ would have done if they didn't tell him, you know, hey, they're selling some stuff at the temple.
They're selling their wares.
But he said, yeah, there are drag queens teaching children.
I'm like, what?
No.
What is a drag queen?
It's a man who dresses up like a woman and puts his sexual degeneracy on display for all to see, but now he also teaches Sunday school, so you should really hear his rendition of Jonah and the Whale.
It's a show tune.
It's a show tune, and it involves some harassment.
I bet Jesus would have been like, have you heard of these cities Sodom and Gomorrah that Dad had beef with?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Telepathically turn them into salt from where he stands.
Alright, so, uh, Howard Stern, you guys are passing so many notes.
There's one note!
This is five notes!
Yesterday you were all on your notepad!
Do I need to know the note?
No.
Okay.
I'll write a note for you.
You'll write a note?
Yeah, I'll write a note.
We're left out of the note-taking.
I know, it's just, it's too many notes.
Alright, Howard Stern.
You're just noticing everything today.
He is.
You're hyperly aware.
Well, because yesterday you were in a bad mood, Gerald.
I don't know why.
And I was like, are you alright?
Are you okay in that fridge?
You're like, I don't know.
I was in a bad mood.
And I was like, well, why?
You're like, I don't know.
Just tired.
Gerald!
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, you know what?
People are watching.
I'm fine today!
Alright.
So we have the church now.
The church is catering to degenerates.
And now Howard Stern is virtue-singling to the left.
Howard Stern?
Yeah, about sexual purity, basically.
So, yeah, the guy who had strippers play the harmonica with their vagina.
Oh, the guy from the... yeah, wow.
Yeah, possible?
So now he decided to give his take on Representative Lauren Boebert's recent behavior.
And look, I'm not going to get into this with there's a boob grab and whatever.
I just don't think people will vote for Lauren Boebert or they won't.
But the fact that Howard Stern now, who is the definition of shock jock, has decided that he is morally superior to Lauren Boebert tells you the strange state of our times.
Lauren Boebert is a disgrace to this country.
Not because of the video.
You are 100% right.
Forget the politics.
She's in a titty dress.
If you saw the video, she's in a titty dress.
She's with some dude.
Looks like she's obviously vaping, but also looks like she might be getting his penis during Beetlejuice.
I've seen porn stars wear more.
And this dude that she's with is playing with her titties during it.
They're having a party and I mean take away the politics.
She's fun.
Now there's so much irony here because, you know, I can't believe she would behave this way at Beetlejuice.
How about the fact that you had a retarded black midget named Beetlejuice compete in celebrity boxing and cause irreparable brain damage and later on, you know, he died.
You took advantage of a special... which, by the way, I get it.
It was funny at that point.
He was a willing participant.
You guys used to prank call him.
You guys used to torture a guy named Beetlejuice.
And this is where, just for context, you know, Stern, again, I don't look, if you were a consistent virtue signaling like a Pearl Clutcher where everything was offensive, okay, like Tipper Gore, fine, at least you're consistently unfun.
But for Howard Stern, now he's gone after people who are unvaccinated, he's gone after Joe Rogan, now he's going after Representative Lord, I can't believe this behavior is reprehensible.
If you don't remember, and if you have children they shouldn't be watching, keep in mind, this is how Howard Stern became famous.
Go ahead, let's get the flush going.
Get her head way in there.
Get in there.
Here?
Yeah, blow it a bubble.
I want to hear the water.
It's kind of in the little hole right now, but if you flush it, it comes forward.
Okay, put your head down.
More.
Keep going.
More.
Okay, that's good.
Ready?
Go for it.
Should I flush away?
Flush!
Here it goes!
I am so gonna win this.
I really want... I mean, you got a perfect body.
Thank you.
Not you, KC, I mean.
Thank you.
All right.
Ooh.
Now look, this is how the guy, it's fine, he's a shock check, that's his thing.
Just be consistent about it.
And my issue is the comedians and the entertainer now are going, I can't believe, I can't believe that someone copped a feel in a dark theater.
You can say it's different because I'm an entertainer and this person is a representative, that's a valid, but that's not what, he just said I can't believe that behavior.
Well, of course you can because you've done far worse in a brightly, brightly lit Look, I don't understand the clothing thing.
I can't believe she was wearing a boob dress and I'm like, she had a dress on.
I've seen strippers wear more.
No, you haven't.
Not a single stripper ever has worn more than that when they're doing, you know, the stripping, the thing that you just named them after.
Of course they wear clothes during the day, you moron.
But she was in a theater at night.
Lorena Boebert needs to make better decisions.
I'm going to say that right now.
You're confusing Lauren Boebert and Lorena Bobbitt.
Sorry.
That is a big difference.
She touched the wiener, she didn't throw it out a car window.
We don't know what happened after that.
We'll have to see.
She needs to make better decisions.
But look, if somebody's got night vision, zooming in on her with a security camera, fine.
There's going to be some times where these things happen.
I'm not saying it's okay, but certainly Howard Stern can't stand and go, Oh!
Oh!
Can't believe that happened.
Right.
He turned into a pussy.
Huge pussy, dude.
Huge pussy.
Owie.
Yeah, it's remarkable.
Yeah.
And by the way, I used to like some of the stuff, the funny bits.
I didn't, you know, strippers playing the harmonica, or strippers like, you know, where you're putting into their nether regions.
That was just hack stuff.
But they had some funny people on the show.
He did some funny bits.
The problem is with these people making their bones and then pulling the ladder up behind them.
You see it with Amy Schumer.
You see it with these other comedians out there who decide that, you know what, I'm not going to say those things anymore.
Lisa Lampanelli was another one.
I don't want to be the Queen of Mean.
I only want to be an uplifting LGBTQ plus comedian.
Well, guess what?
There are still other people out there.
Who share the sense of humor of half of the country.
You know, the people who made you famous?
That's the issue.
Yeah.
Now that you're in a multi, well, not multi-million dollar, I think his house is 20-something million dollars, his estate.
This guy locked himself down during COVID into his house.
He was terrified from his own family members.
He would quarantine himself.
This is a man who lives in fear.
This is what happens when you have absolutely no moral compass whatsoever.
You have no filter.
Through which you view the world.
So you go, ah, yeah, yeah, playing putt-putt into a stripper's butt.
No, that's fine.
Oh, wait a second.
People getting a little handsy in a dark theater?
Every teenager, by the way, they do that.
They make out in the theater for crying out loud.
I'm not saying that this is what you want with your representatives, but like I've said here, that's what we have muckled.
Unless you're a murderer, rapist, or pickpocket, I don't really care.
If you do your job well, I'm going to judge people by their principles, yes, by their actions, but I'm not going to judge them by an out-of-context misdeed.
No one's life can stand up to that scrutiny.
You have to look at the body of work, for crying out loud.
I'm neutral on Lauren Boebert.
I'm just not going to take part in that.
Anything else?
I think that makes sense.
Make better decisions.
And I don't know what changed in Howard Stern.
I know what changed.
He got in trouble.
He wasn't getting any viewers.
This guy, he's trying to come out and get these Gen Xers and he's doing what they say they're not doing.
They say it doesn't exist as the agenda.
He's following the agenda.
He's following his script.
The putt-putt in the butt-butt?
That's his idea.
That is his idea.
Or somebody, they came up with that.
Actually, yours is a better name.
Yeah, putt-putt in the butt-butt.
I certainly hope he never got a hole in one on New Mug Club.
Bring in some of those drag queens from the church.
They could be the clown mouth.
Give me a driver.
I don't know what is fully changed.
Look, I'm not a mind reader.
But we do have a mind reader in the office.
We're pretty tight with the X-Men and Charles Xavier.
The secondary characters.
Charles Xavier, big fan, but he's a busy guy, he's expensive.
We do have actually, we have though managed to hire on a trial basis, his telekinetic
brother, his brother Chet Xavier.
I'm sensing a problem.
Bye.
ah Yeah, the drivers on this PC won't update.
I only work on iOS.
So, by the way, it's a live show Monday through Friday, 10 a.m.
Eastern.
Stop it!
Don't laugh at him.
I was laughing at Tim.
Tim was so annoyed.
Yeah, Tim was annoyed.
Tim's kind of a jerk, actually.
He's so fucking useless.
Hey, guys, come on.
This isn't Howard's turn.
Let's not be so loose.
Come on, dude.
Easy. Are you trying to mind?
No, I'm just going through the different ways in which we can already get in trouble for today's show, and it's a lot.
Oh, it's gonna happen.
Oh, is it the hot air balloon thing?
No, no, no.
That's easy.
But it probably didn't help as a lead-in to Chet Xavier, because they're going to say it's a theme.
And you know what?
I own it.
Hey!
Hey, Howard Stern!
You can be upset if you want.
And we're going to have Owen Schroeder on a little bit later on if he still wants to.
No one ditches us, you know?
It's like, oh crap.
We talked about this yesterday, but now there's been a development.
Russell Brand, of course, there have been women who've come forward with these allegations of sexual assault.
And again, maybe there's some truth to it, maybe there isn't.
We don't know, but we're supposed to live in a society where you're innocent until proven guilty.
And these are also decades old allegations.
He has not been convicted of a crime.
He certainly hasn't been sentenced.
And he had his tour unfortunately cancelled.
And now YouTube has decided to demonetize Russell Brand.
And this is why I say that appeasing crocodiles is futile.
They've demonetized Russell Brand for something that has nothing to do with his YouTube channel.
YouTube say they've suspended the monetization of Russell Brand's online channel.
It comes as the Met say they've received a report of an alleged sexual assault in London in 2003.
So...
It was very hard to understand her, but here's a quote.
Basically, he's on trial, but he's not on trial.
Listen!
Listen!
This is serious!
He committed a rape!
He's a rapist!
We can't have YouTubers going around raping people!
Take his money!
Next thing you know he'll be raping on Twitter, I'm sorry, X!
Raping on Facebook!
Instagram!
TikTok!
It'll just be a cavalcade of rapists all over your screen!
The algorithm!
It'll just be about who's raping who!
And I know I'm safe!
It doesn't affect me!
That's how you know I don't have a dog in this fight!
No one's raping me!
And in other news...
The economy's down, and haggis prices are up.
In other news, no one thinks about Scotland until they see this video.
Or if they smell hot cabbage.
Oh god. Alright. Alright. Alright.
Get it out of your system.
Oh, wait, wait.
This just in.
Scotland's national instrument has been rated worst of all time.
No!
Yeah, worst of all time.
Apparently it's just noise.
You can't even hit a note.
Which, by the way, ironically, it doesn't set the mood, which protects you from rape.
Don't worry, I have one here.
Oh yeah, there you go.
That's why you have a rape problem.
You play enough Barry White, someone's getting raped.
Aye, no, all I'm saying, I ain't never getting raped with a bagpipe.
That'd be 50 shades of shit music.
I don't know, I got bagpiped once.
You got bagpiped?
Well that was, I was heat with a bagpipe.
I don't know what happened, I forgot.
After that amnesia they say.
My ass was sore for a week.
I think it was the rain!
So anyway, a YouTube spokesperson who speaks English properly stated, if a creator's off-platform behavior harms our users, employees, or ecosystem, we take action.
So here's the thing, how does this, how do allegations against Russell Brand from decades ago that have yet to be proven, now some people might try and rewind this, Let's say in some universe where Russell Brand is actually guilty and there's actually hard evidence.
That could very well still be a possibility.
It doesn't change the fact that right now, at this moment in time, at 9.41 Central on, what's the date?
September 19th?
On September 19th, 2023, there have been no criminal convictions, sentencing, nothing!
No evidence has actually been presented as far as we know at this moment in time, and that, merely an article, a smear campaign, is reason enough To demonetize Russell Brand on YouTube.
And by the way, imagine if he'd have signed a contract with one of the big conservative networks who would punish him 25%.
This is the problem too, when conservatives appease these people.
It doesn't matter what you do.
Someone can come out, make an accusation, and you will be banned or removed or demonetized from YouTube anyway.
That's why Mug Club is a thing.
Look, I'm just letting you know.
That's why we have Nick DiPaolo.
There's no way that guy was ever going to be allowed to be monetized on YouTube.
No.
Brian Callen, Hodge Twins, Alex Jones, of course he's banned from YouTube.
You can sign up, blighterwithcredit.com, or don't, but we had to create this because we knew that this was happening and too many conservatives have played ball.
Let me ask, how many people are going to stand in the pocket for Russell Brand?
Not many.
Yeah, this was, what, three days?
So I guess Russell released his video on Friday, so he basically led the story, right?
So Friday to yesterday, Yeah.
Really?
YouTube, you've had enough time to do your due diligence on that?
Even if you were saying that you looked into these matters and thought it was severe enough, which is complete crap anyway, no convictions is not maybe innocent.
It is 100% absolutely innocent until proven guilty. 100%!
You can't start treating somebody as guilty the minute an accusation... Well, not only that, but the problem is now, YouTube, this is the court of public opinion, it's not just the court of public opinion where people are just raking you over the coals, running your name through the mud.
You now actually have financial repercussions with no proof whatsoever.
There are a lot of people who make their living on YouTube.
Thank God we don't.
We're funded by viewers like you, by the way.
What was that?
A lot of felons.
A lot of convicted felons do.
Yeah, a lot of convicted felons do as well.
Which is fine.
Yeah.
Someone who's not convicted, though, Russell Brand.
There are consequences that have nothing to do with actual YouTube.
By the way, we weren't allowed to be on YouTube.
Today's theme is shakedown.
This is a shakedown.
We were banned from YouTube, right?
The Vox Apocalypse, for those of you who are new.
Sorry, they created the borderline content rule because of yours, truly.
I didn't mean for that to happen.
It was a goof!
But then, we had the socialism is for figs shirt.
And YouTube said, which we love, we sell at the live shows only, because YouTube said if you have that in a merch shop online, you will not be allowed on YouTube.
You will not be allowed to have a shirt that is basically a pun, because we have deemed it too offensive, even though it is not on YouTube.
What is it, like a big fig?
It's Che Guevara, like this, instead of the fist.
Yeah, I've seen it, like what's the fig problem?
What's the problem?
What socialism is for figs, is that, you know, socialism is for figs.
In the big fig market?
Yeah, they're not really big.
They must be date people.
That doesn't make any sense at all though, right?
So it's not just YouTube doing this.
I think somebody had mentioned, and we can confirm this, stuff had been pulled off of Netflix.
He had cancelled a lot of his shows.
I think his manager may have even dropped him at this point.
Everybody rushes for the exit because nobody has the balls to sit there and say, I'm sorry, he's innocent right now.
I'm sorry, this guy, his life doesn't stop because somebody makes a claim.
Like, we can't live in a world like that.
It does not, it cannot work.
And people on the left will say, oh, cancel culture.
People will just say, you know what, they just want to be able to say whatever.
It's not cancel culture, it's accountability culture.
Okay, where's the accountability for people making accusations and destroying lives?
Where's the accountability for those people?
Where's the accountability for Christine Blasey Ford?
Let's be honest about it.
Where is it?
We want accountability culture?
It needs to go both ways.
Oh, that's right.
Sorry, we're talking about Me Too, or even just sexual harassment in the workplace.
It goes one way.
It goes one way, and there's never accountability for the women who make false accusations.
And in this case, you have Russell Brand.
Thank God he's on Rumble.
You can go over there, watch him, support him, right?
We're here on Rumble.
Of course, it's a partnership we couldn't be happier with, with Mug Club.
But what if he wasn't?
Boom.
Living.
Just turned off.
Wars were fought over less.
Wars were fought over resources.
Wars were fought over the ability to feed your family.
That's really, if you think, when you think of wars used to be for land, or then at one point wars were over oil.
Why do you think that was significant?
It allowed you to make a living and feed your family.
And now you lose all of your outlets for something that may have zero credibility whatsoever that would provide for your family.
YouTube revenue, boom, gone.
Live shows, boom, gone.
Think about that.
Wars were fought for less.
If you're not willing to fight to feed your family, then what is worth it?
That's what all wars were fought over.
And we've just glossed over it because we think of it as a digital space.
No, well, you know what, you're not entitled to... Well, hold on a second.
If this is the only place that people can make a living through this method, As well as live performances, and all of that gets taken away?
Yeah!
You can't just go and create your own YouTube, and then go and create your own, how many theaters?
30 theaters for a tour.
No!
You get shut out, and that's why we've been building this infrastructure for a long time.
Gay William?
He has relationships with all of the theaters.
Where?
Doesn't matter what you do.
Hey, Russell, if you're looking for someone else who can... Gay William.
He's a Cuban, by the way, just be on guard.
He hates Puerto Ricans, he's a little bit homophobic, and he's super gay, just so you know, but he can help you out there.
Homophobic and gay at the same time.
It's strange.
Yeah, well, you know, anything that he needs at this point in time, you know, we can provide.
Oh, and something else too.
This is something else that a lot of people don't know.
Now, we haven't been able to corroborate this, but we are able to verify it through what's happened here at Mug Club behind the scenes.
So one woman says that she was contacted specifically to discharge on brand, but that her story was not used.
I was contacted in June by a journalist regarding a video I made about a certain celebrity and a weekend that we shared together.
The video is kind of viral.
It's on my page somewhere if you want to go see it.
And that certain somebody was, as most of you will be aware, Mr. Brand.
They weren't going to use my story because it didn't fit the narrative for their documentary.
Because he wasn't an arsehole to me.
Now, just to be clear, I don't know if this is true, and I know that this claim is being made.
I have about as much proof of that as they do of the allegations of rape.
But I can tell you, beyond any shadow of a doubt, and you know this, Gerald, that people here, employees, have been offered money from these gossip rags to try and dish dirt on this company.
Absolutely, and they don't care if it's true.
They don't care if it's true.
They don't care if there's any context to it.
They don't care if it's true, if it's a lie.
I just need you to say something that I can use out of context against these guys.
Meaning some of them, the same publications as Russell Brand, People, directly either in this office or my circle of friends, they've had someone step forward and say, here's a check.
Can you give us anything personal that is negative on Steven Crowder or Gerald?
That has happened.
I can tell you that happens all the time.
It's a shakedown.
And there are people that you hire to do this shaking down.
When people say, yeah, they're going after Trump, you say, sure, look, by the way, we need to be able to separate.
Maybe Donald Trump has done some dickish things.
There still is the shakedown for things that he didn't do.
Russell Brand, absolutely, promiscuous, he was addicted to opiate.
We know all of that.
That can be true, and he could be being shaken down for things that he didn't do.
And they want to blur those lines so that they can specifically, proactively remove one's ability to make a living.
It is!
Make no mistake about that.
You're already at war.
You may just not know it yet.
Russell Brand is at war for his reputation, for his name, and to provide for his family.
I hope that he fully understands that.
We've been through it.
I'm telling you, that's what these people do.
When people talk about the swamp, I think that the media, the media swamp, the media entertainment industry swamp is far worse.
And you had a rude awakening.
My litmus test is Gerald.
You know why?
He is the biggest Boy Scout I've ever known in my life.
And they just made shit up.
You don't have skeletons in your closet.
You don't even have a closet.
Not perfect at all, but I mean, some of the stuff that does come out on People, you're just like, I have a fresh set of eyes for this stuff now.
I'm like, I don't believe most of that.
Yeah.
I don't believe.
Because the media, like, think about this.
Three newspapers get together and decide that they're going to come out at once and not get the one thing that they always want, which is exclusive information so that people buy their paper, their publication, subscribe to their online, whatever it may be.
They're not going to do that.
They're actually going to collude together to put out a story.
that ends up being a hit piece on this guy. And then these companies, I mean, it's Alex Jones 2.0
for different reasons, right? These companies start dropping him down. Okay. Well, he's a comedian.
He tours. He does. Okay. So let's get rid of his shows. Let's get rid of his agent. Let's get rid
of Netflix. I think you actually had some overlays on some of those things. Like some of the things
that are being taken away from Russell brand right now.
Right. So I don't know. It's been taken, taken off of a BBC one. Yep.
It's just all acting together.
Exactly.
Go back to the BBC, that one where it says it now, before that.
One before, yeah.
It says Russell Brand content removed from BBC because it now falls below public expectations.
Hey, remember when the left used to say, right, every time the right would get upset, like let's say Sean Penn would say something retarded, and the right would say, alright, I'm not going to support his films anymore.
They would say, you need to separate the art from the artist.
By the way, I think that sometimes that is true.
But they didn't say that the BBC removed his content because he, they said because now the content, and this is a Freudian slip, is below their expectations.
Same thing will happen, by the way, if you're a comedian, this is what happens, what happens is all of a sudden, you're not funny anymore.
They write a hit piece.
Like Dave Chappelle, when he started making jokes about the tea driving the LGBT, that was hilarious, the alphabet jokes that he was making, and people were like, ah, Dave Chappelle's not funny.
What?
How has the content changed that was on BBC?
It's not changed at all, but now it falls below expectations because of allegations that seem to have no credibility at this point in time?
That's what it is.
Look, for example with comedy, you don't have to think it's funny, you have to admit that it was a joke.
You don't have to like Russell Brand, but you have to admit that the content did meet your expectations because he's talented at what he did.
Instead, boy, talk about erasing history.
Talk about gaslighting.
They want to erase this man from the existence of media, of the entertainment industry.
Erase his influence.
Exactly.
They want to make sure he has no voice to defend himself.
Yeah.
Thank God for places like Rumble.
Yep.
Thank God for places like Rumble and Mug Club.
And hit like if you want that Socialism is for Figs shirt to make a comeback.
Oh, I know.
I really do.
I saw another note passing.
Is it about the UN assembly?
You stop focusing on my note.
I just know because there's so many notes and I think it's like, you know, sometimes you do naughty things over there.
And he's not that much of a voice.
I wonder, can he sue, in Great Britain, can he sue the media outlets for slander?
I don't know.
I think it's a difficult bar to clear.
Because keep in mind, Johnny Depp lost his suit in the UK.
I believe it was the Sun.
He did.
And then he won in a court of law in the United States.
So, I don't know how strict or how loose they are with the defamation of libel.
Because of the powdered wigs.
Yeah, exactly.
It's a very silly place.
He should, he should be able to, but you know what happens is, if you do that, you have lawyers who say, here's what happens, look, I'll give you some inside baseball, then lawyers sit you down and go, okay, but you know if you sue for defamation, right, if you sue for libel, even though this rape is complete, if your lawyers know, and they say, even though this rape is completely false, what's going to happen, They're going to go through everyone you've ever dated, they're going to go through all of your devices, they're going to go through all of your personal history, they're going to find people in college, and just so you know, they're going to find things to damage you worse.
So do you want to do this or try and make it go away quietly?
And that's one thing that you see Donald Trump, President Trump, he does not go quietly into that good night.
He makes it all happen out in the open, and guess what?
That's what you have to do.
Remember Brian Callen when he was falsely accused?
I said, you're going to come on the show tomorrow?
You're going to do it.
Do not listen!
There are some great lawyers out there.
Half-Asian lawyer Bill Richman, one of them, right?
There are some great lawyers.
But there are a lot of lawyers who simply want a high-profile client, and then they want to minimize their risk, their losses.
They want to pad their record with a win.
But they want to do it through easy cases, through layups, through settling, so that technically they've never lost.
And that's not necessarily congruent with preserving your reputation and your name.
And anyone else who goes through this, having been through it, having had a lot of friends go through this, just be very, very aware of that.
Be very mindful of who you have in your ear.
Your circle of influence is incredibly important.
And I do hope that Russell Brand comes through this stronger, better.
And, you know, of course, I hope he didn't... I hope he didn't rape!
Me too.
Yeah, I did too.
Obviously, I hope everyone doesn't rape.
Yeah, exactly.
That's a good general rule.
It's kind of, yeah, it's kind of one of my core values.
But speaking of rape, let's go to the UAW and American Car Manufacturers.
Nice transition.
Segway.
So they're still striking, right?
The UAW.
For those of you who don't know, it's the United Auto Workers Union.
Now, I want to be clear about something.
Let's frame this.
When they're striking, they're not just striking against their employers, right?
This isn't just a private employer-employee tussle.
They're striking against you.
You're the reason that GM, that Ford, that I guess it's uh, is it Stellantis is what it's called?
No, it's Jeep, Chrysler, so they've kind of merged.
You're the reason that the big three, I'm going to use that term because that's how you know them, you're the reason that they're still in business.
You're the reason American Airlines, Delta, is still in business.
So that they can rape you when they charge you for your bags, for your carry-ons, right?
They increase the costs for every service that used to be standard.
Yeah.
Hey, you funded their business.
You bailed them out.
Did you get any profits?
What about for the Pfizer, the Moderna vaccine?
I don't care if you're big business or small business, just to be clear, just be good business.
And the businesses that people hate, the industries people hate the most, let's go... Okay, obviously American auto manufacturers are one of them.
You can barely get a good American car these days.
Banks?
Airlines?
Health insurance companies?
The energy sector?
Name me any industries that are more regulated or receive more bailouts than those.
Comment below.
Name me one.
Maybe medical research, but I'd file it under health care.
So, before we get into this, Marley was dead to begin with.
The big three, they received an $80 billion.
Taxpayer-funded bailout less than 15 years ago, right?
That was in 2008.
That was just GM and Chrysler.
Ford came in later.
Just GM and Chrysler.
Now, keep in mind, because the unions will say, well, this was important.
It was necessary, right, to help the workers.
Well, the CEOs, by the way, the Ford CEO got $17.9 million.
The GM CEO got $14.9 million.
Here's my rule.
By the way, a CEO is not the same as an owner of a company.
You're a glorified manager sometimes.
Not everyone.
Obviously, you're a little bit different.
But some of these CEOs of these big companies, right, they're interchangeable, they come in, and they go, OK, bailout.
If you receive $80 billion in taxpayer funds, guess what?
You get no bonus.
You get none whatsoever.
That's the rule.
It should be contingent upon that.
You don't get a bailout from the taxpayers and then use it to pay yourselves more!
That's crazy.
We just paid you $15 million, and I gotta pay whatever it is for a car?
And then Chrysler, of course, was bailed out in the 70s as well.
This has been an ongoing basis.
Again, there are all kinds of government subsidies, billions of dollars.
So, for example, there have only been two major bailouts, but what happens is the government either subsidizes or provides a tax break when they try and manipulate winners and losers in the auto sector by saying, oh, if you have X amount of cars, each car that achieves 30 miles an hour, or whatever the arbitrary EPA standard is, we'll give you X number of dollars in a tax credit or subsidy.
So this stuff happens all the time, to be clear.
When they're protesting, they are shaking you down.
They are shaking you, the taxpayer, down.
When they're living it up on Wall Street, you've heard that song, they're shutting Detroit down.
Shut them all down!
Don't identity politic this on the right!
Oh boy, I'm country!
Shut it all down!
No bailouts!
So now the UAW.
Fifth day.
Labor unions, car companies, they've failed to reach an agreement.
Oh, I wonder how that ends.
Turning now to the auto workers strike and its huge potential impact on America's economy.
The union says the walkout could expand this week as negotiations continue today with the
country's three biggest automakers.
And it's affecting them in three like three really big factors.
I guess GM, their pickups are in Missouri.
Ford, they have SUVs in Michigan.
Stellantis has Jeeps in Ohio.
Well, basically, they're striking at those three plants strategically, and they're negotiating with all three and striking against all three at one time.
This is a little bit unique.
This doesn't happen this way typically, right?
So this is a different strategy than they've employed in the past.
So that's why it's such a big deal, because it will just trickle down from there.
Well, the UAW has their hands on all the automakers.
They do, but they're striking against all three.
Typically, they pick a fight with one.
Right?
Now they're going and trying to negotiate with all three at one time and striking against all three at specific plants.
Well, maybe it'll improve.
What's that one good GM car?
Uh... Is there one?
I don't know!
I mean, I like GMC... Hold on, I got it.
I got it.
No.
That's not it.
That's not it.
The Chevy Volt?
I don't know.
You see that?
You know you're getting raped.
So here's what the workers are demanding.
From you.
Jeez.
And the reason I say this is because these companies write what they're demanding, this is going to put the companies in the red, and then you'll bail them out.
Just to be clear.
Again.
They want a 46% pay increase.
Wow.
They want a 32-hour work week, but to be paid for 40.
Don't we all.
Don't we all.
They want a return to their previous pension structure, back when people worked 50 hours a week and usually lost the skin on their top knuckles.
They want that pension structure and they want to give it to all workers.
They want health care for retirees.
Even the robots are on strike.
That's what's happening here with GM.
Oh jeez.
Johnny Five.
You're better than that.
So here's the thing.
Let's go through some fast facts here and you need to understand that this is where this ends up.
If they get these things, of course you will be bailing them out.
Hey, anyone received your check from Pfizer and Moderna?
No, not yet.
Not even Johnson & Johnson?
I've got a bill.
You receive your check from the 2008 auto bailout?
Mm-mm.
I think we're in the red on that one.
Okay.
Just to be clear.
Oh, right.
I understand it.
Okay.
So here's a key fact number one.
Okay.
The demands that they're making, of course, are going to be catastrophic for the consumer.
Yep.
Just to be clear.
And I get it.
You're saying, okay, factory, working class.
And this is the problem with some of the populism out there.
The unions are very different.
The unions in the Midwest, they're basically glorified mobsters.
Right, now think about this, too.
People say, oh, the American Dream is dead.
My parents used to be able to—well, hold on a second.
Your parents didn't work—your grandfather didn't come back from World War II and work a 32-hour work week.
And be unionized and play cards because they couldn't do anything.
I'm not kidding.
One of my buddy's dads was a union worker at a Ford plant in Ohio and said, I'm going to show up late to work.
I go, aren't they going to fire you?
No, I'm union.
They can't do anything.
I'm just going to go to the break room and play cards all day anyway.
Not kidding.
100%.
I don't need this working class hero crap.
You couldn't last a day in my union.
I bet I could do a few years.
That's a feisty game of spades.
I bet I could do a few years.
You could nap through a few years.
So the strike itself will immediately lead to price increases.
According to just one New Jersey Ford dealership, if the strike continues for just two weeks, Prices are going to be hiked up 20%.
Now, this happens, of course, through, you'll have some panic buying, you'll have, of course, supply issues.
The average monthly car payment, by the way, is already $733.
That's up 8% since just last year.
That's insane.
$733?
Yeah.
Wow.
So again, what you can have is supporting this working class hero at the cost of people who can't, or who aren't afforded the luxury of working 32-hour work weeks in a union.
And never-ending taxpayer bailouts.
And I'll compare them, by the way, to other workers and factories here in the United States.
Let me just make this quick point, right?
So they targeted these plants because eventually the other plants end up working or not having enough parts or they have too many parts to send to these plants for finishing.
Anyway, it starts gumming up the entire works, right?
So now they're going to raise prices.
Now there's not going to be enough new cars.
Do you know what that's going to do to the used car market?
So, UAW is basically striking, new cars will dry up, the prices will skyrocket, which means the prices of used cars, the only cars that are going to be available by that point, are going to skyrocket as well.
We just went through this.
This means that the average, everyday working, single parent, somebody struggling to get by, whose car breaks down, they need a car to get to work, can't.
Because of your strike for 32 hour work weeks with 40 hour pay and 43, 46% pay increase.
Oh, I thought of another industry.
Education.
There you go!
There you go.
Nary a Pell Grant to be found.
And now, of course, you talk about the skyrocketing costs.
The American Dream is going to say, man, I can't afford a house.
Well, that's been bailed out.
Of course, the housing market, big banks.
I can't afford a car.
Well, what happens when there's a never-ending supply of taxpayer bailouts?
Do you think that Ford, GM, do you think they restructure?
And they say, OK, we have to find a way to trim costs and make it more affordable?
Absolutely not.
What do you think happens with schools?
When they just say, well, we're just going to charge it.
Well, I can't afford that.
Don't worry, the government will make it up.
Hey, now you have that hyperinflation.
Now, remember, by the way, adding to the cost of these cars, the big threes, for example, is these unbelievable health care plans.
Cadillac health care plans, if I may.
By the way, isn't it funny that the Cadillac, you know they used to say, that's the Cadillac of, the Cadillac isn't even the Cadillac of cars.
Yeah, I don't want your Cadillac version of anything.
Yeah, I don't want to refer to this as the Cadillac of mugs.
You're saying it's mediocre and unreliable?
It breaks down.
People do that with military grade.
They go, oh, that's military grade.
Mil spec, bro.
Yeah, exactly.
The bare minimum.
So the cost, by the way, for the health care of these workers is 150% more.
than the average across the United States.
And comment below if your car payment is crushing your monthly budget.
And by the way, for the first time, it's happening if you have a used car, your monthly payment.
Now, here's a key fact that you also need to know.
Fact number two here, we can hit that stinger.
If the union gets its way, right, the big three, they will lose.
They will lose competitively to foreign rivals, and they deserve to anyway.
And this comparison is more important because you might be saying, yeah, well hold on, the worker is getting screwed.
No, no, no.
It's just GM and Ford.
You have to understand how much money is being pocketed by the unions.
They don't represent their workers.
They're hand-in-hand with the CEOs.
So, if we add up the costs, and I did this back in, I believe, 2010 with a film called Detroit in Ruins, where I went down to the actual old Packard plant in Detroit.
GM and Ford, the total labor costs per hour will go up to $150 per hour.
Wow.
Up from $64 an hour.
Over double.
Yes, much more than double.
With all of the stuff that they're including, from 64 to 150.
Now compare that to these other guys.
Right.
This is a stark comparison.
Now, nowhere else, nowhere else in any business, again, does someone go to their boss and say, so look, I know that I'm doing a bad job.
I know that what we're doing here is, I mean, not even in the realm of being competitive.
That's not lost on me, but let me, if I may, just float an idea.
Why didn't you ask sooner?
I've been waiting!
Hold on, hold on, wait a second, wait a second.
Oh, you thought I was asking you?
No, no.
The 300 million people behind you, the taxpayers, oh yeah, sure, yeah, take their money!
How do you think?
They're so bold in asking for this because it is not subject to market forces.
$64, $250.
Now let's compare that to, by the way, Toyota, Hyundai, American workers, non-union, but they're Some of these cars are more American than American cars.
I think the most American car is probably a Tesla.
I think they did the math.
It was something like the Toyota... Someone can fact check me.
The Toyota Tacoma or something like that was the most American car as far as not only assembly but the parts used.
So, Toyota Hyundai, the total labor cost per hour, $55 an hour.
Wow.
$55 an hour.
And by the way, those people make very good livings.
They're just far more efficient.
They don't get the same bailouts that the big three do.
Tesla, total labor cost per hour, about $45.
And what's going to happen here, by the way?
This is going to help give Chinese electric vehicles the ability to break into the United States market, if you're paying attention.
Which brings us to fact number three.
If anyone is to blame here... Well, first off, okay, the UAW, yes, and the auto manufacturers and our stupid government who just keeps bailing out failed business models.
Yeah, okay, we get all that.
But certainly, the man who has been suckling at the government teat for, I believe, it's 72 years?
That's chafing.
You have former Vice President Biden.
Here he is, someone who's never earned in the private sector in his life, saying that the people at the big three, they need to pay more.
Why?
Because nothingness.
Auto companies have seen record profits.
Those record profits have not been shared fairly, in my view, with those workers.
Oh wait, hold on a second.
How about sharing it with the people who bailed them out?
How do you go from, hey, we're bankrupt, $80 billion bailout, And that's before hyperinflation.
I bet you that's like $5 trillion today, even though we're just going back to 2008.
$80 billion bailout, then record profits, and none of us see a dime?
Oh, it's only about the unions.
Well, why is it about the unions?
Oh, that's because 97% of their funding goes to Democrats, right?
They donate to Democrats.
Also, this allows Biden a little bit more control.
I hate to say follow the money, but he's demanding that by 2030, 60% of all cars on the road are electric vehicles.
Never mind the fact that We don't have the infrastructure and a lot of our electricity doesn't come from quote-unquote renewables It's just something that he needs to do because he needs to grease some palms before the next election and according to a statement from Stellantis That's again Chrysler Dodge Jeep.
That's what that's the new parent company The company needs to cut workers pensions and health care costs to meet federal government's requirements that 60% of all new passenger vehicles be sold That be that are sold that be sold.
That beats the Chrysler 200 or 300. 300 yeah. That'd be so.
You don't think EVs be like they is but they do.
So they're going to have to cut pensions because 60% of all new passenger vehicles sold in the country have to be electric by 2030.
They've said that.
So what do you have?
You have a government that says, hey, you have to do this.
Why?
Because John Kerry, Al Gore, global warming.
You have to do this by 2030.
The company says, well, I can't afford that.
They say, well, don't worry.
We'll force the taxpayer to bail you out.
And then you'll be able to do what we want, even though most American consumers don't want those vehicles.
That's where we are.
Biden, of course, voted for the 2008 bailout.
He bragged about it, saying part of that was bailing out the automobile industry.
Talking about, I believe, TARP and the overall bailout packages.
Saving thousands of jobs.
Tens of thousands of jobs over time.
I've never understood this.
I know.
Why is it virtuous to save a job here by robbing someone else?
Especially when that job is two, three times the hourly labor cost of the person who's bailing them out.
Can someone explain to me why for some reason that scene is generous and not thievery?
I don't know, but I really hope so.
President Donald Trump has a really good opportunity to go up and actually speak some truth to the UAW.
He's doing a primetime address, I believe, to the UAW on next Wednesday when we're doing the livestream for the debate.
Right.
So he has an opportunity.
Has an opportunity to go up and do that, but I don't know, I don't know what to expect.
We'll see.
Maybe he's the guy, though.
He's the guy you want talking to these people.
How many salaries has this guy negotiated?
How many deals has this guy negotiated over the years?
It's true, but I hope he goes up and does that.
It kind of feels like that's the guy.
Like you said, Biden's never been in the private sector.
He's never negotiated a deal like that.
I mean, maybe with Ukraine, but he's never... That's just more of a giveaway.
It's like being in that glass tube with a money fan.
He might pander a little bit, but I think any pandering he does is in an effort to make a good deal.
I hope.
In his mind.
I hope that that is the case.
We'll see.
Yeah.
I just hope he goes out and he's like, look, you want $150 an hour?
That's not going to happen.
All right.
One time I uber blacked in a Chevy Volt.
The suspension was, it was, excuse me, it was difficult.
It was like being raped.
It was like being raped in a Chevy Volt.
And by the way, here's something as well.
I need to put a moratorium in, by the way.
I say it too much.
To be clear.
The strike is not about the workers.
It's about your bailout funds.
But the union leadership, we talk about the equity and diversity rights scores.
We talk about all of these, the ESGs, all of these things, right?
We often look over What happens right here in the United States with these long-standing unions?
So let me read you from the UAW Constitution.
The UAW's Constitution enshrines our union's long-standing values and agreed vision of a society that embraces and implements economic and social justice for all people.
Hold on a second!
You make cars!
They have a constitution?
Yeah!
Do they have amendments?
Exactly!
Were they advised by McKinsey?
They don't have a bill of rights, but they have a bill of sale, definitely.
Yeah, their amendments are just recalls.
Can we have an insurrection against them?
Yes, let's storm Detroit.
And what's their vision of society?
Well, the UAW PAC, by the way, huge.
If you want to look at big money in politics, look at unions, okay?
UAW, their PAC, over 97% to Democrats.
Geez.
97% to Democrats.
Wow, $50 million?
Yeah, that's a lot!
So, and by the way, if you're in the union, you have to be in the union, and you have no say in the matter, and they take your money and they give it to... You think that 97% of people in Michigan or Ohio are at these plants?
You think 97% of them voted for Joe Biden?
Of course not.
So that's basically coercion.
And the point that we're making here is when you look at this, just remember where this goes.
It's the same thing as the vaccine.
Sorry, the mRNA injection.
Think about all of the industries that you despise the most.
Airlines, banks, healthcare, or really you can just consider any industry, any sector of the economy that has experienced hyperinflation.
Air travel, banks, health insurance, and of course... Lending?
Lending, yep.
And of course, well, it would fall under banks, but of course, also education, right?
That is true.
Those costs have skyrocketed.
Do you see a consistent through line here?
All of them, all of them are beholden to the government teat.
And the thing is, that only exists because they rob you.
And so this is where we need to make sure we don't identity politic it on the right like they do on the left with just, they do it by orientation, gender.
Sometimes we try and say, well look, working out there, working class.
Well, if you run a business, you're also working class.
If you went to school and you work with your mind, are you also not working class?
Is the only group of people that classifies as working class?
The people on the factory lines of American auto manufacturers who want 150 plus dollars an hour in total cost for 32 hours a week but paid like they work 40.
That's your definition of American working class and the American dream?
No, this is about buying votes.
You don't need to get to Soros and Epstein Island.
Those things are true.
Hey, by the way, when we're talking about Russell Brand and his potential sexual misdeeds, I don't know if you know this, but they're a very small island.
Really?
Where?
In the West Indies.
It's not, but sounds good.
It's called Sex Island.
Some refer to it as Pedophile Island.
Perhaps look over there for the sexual indiscretions.
We still don't have that client list?
Yeah.
No.
No.
Nothing.
So now we look at the vaccine as well.
18 billion dollars, right, with Warpsby taxpayer funding.
Record profits now.
Where's your check?
Where's your check from GM?
Where's your check from Ford?
This is where I want to see the uprising.
This is where I want to see people pissed off.
When people talk about, you know, rich men north of rich, that's great.
But hey, let's be clear about this.
All of these people are screwing you.
Just because someone works with their hands on a factory line, if their job only exists because of your never-ending taxpayer dollars, guess what?
They should be out of a job.
And I don't care.
Well, hold on a second.
That means they get nothing.
I can pay a little more in taxes.
No!
What's the number?
50%?
If you're in California, it's 50%?
No, you shouldn't have to pay any more in taxes to support a job that doesn't exist.
That is not the purpose of the government, and certainly not for Biden, who doesn't know jack shit about anything that's ever taken place in the private sector.
To tell these businesses, you know what, I think you should pay more.
Where are you getting that from?
What's your frame of reference?
Your only frame of reference is voting yes on taking everyone's money here to give it to those hacks.
And it's a shakedown.
It's a shakedown of Russell Brand, and it's a shakedown of the American taxpayer.
It's a shakedown of you, the American worker who deserves to save, scrape, earn, have an opportunity to pursue the American dream.
But no, we've decided that we are going to do away With equal opportunity to ensure equity.
And the people ensuring equity?
Who'll give $50 million?
UAW?
Social Justice?
Yeah, those are the people.
And then that's reciprocated by people in government.
That's the swamp, to be clear.
People often say swamp, but they don't define it.
Sure, it's politicians.
Sure, it's unelected officials like Fauci.
It's also the media.
It's also the entertainment industry.
And it's also unions who decide to rape you of your pocketbook in order to support losers.
That doesn't mean everyone working on the factory line, but the UAW serves to protect losers, just like the teachers unions serve to protect bad teachers who get put in rubber rooms if they're shitty at their job.
How about unemployment?
I really don't know.
I kind of know what they're thinking, but I don't exactly know what the American auto workers are thinking.
I'm not a psychic, but it's a good thing we have a psychic here in the office.
We're not a union shop.
It's the best we can do.
Alright, do we have him here on the line?
Can you pop him there so I can see him?
So last week, this journalist, I don't even know if we're, I guess we're not allowed to say the word, but that's why we'll do most of this interview on Mug Club, but Owen Schroyer, MadMaxWorld.TV, well we can say that.
Sentenced to 60 days in jail for his alleged role on January 6th.
By the way, hit the like button right now if you're on YouTube, if you understand that this is a political witch hunt.
Now, I just want to be clear, by the way.
They've been pretty damn clear.
The judge said, I don't think you were trying to distract the crowd or move the crowd away from the Capitol.
That's his crime, was he wasn't stopping them.
The judge is like, look, I don't think you did anything, but you certainly weren't stopping all of the people there.
Well, he also wasn't shoving anyone off a balcony.
Are they going to charge the Capitol Police as well?
Yeah, are they going to charge the Capitol Police?
No, no, no.
Remember, they are the law.
And so I think we have him now on the line.
Let's welcome our guest, Owen Schroer.
Mr. Schreuer, are you there?
Can you see me, hear me, sir?
Great to be here, Steven.
Okay, hold on.
We're just going to adjust your volume a little bit.
It's coming in a little hot, but I'm glad to have you.
And by the way, not to blow smoke up your ass, but I said this to obviously your colleague there, Alex, when the Alex Jones trial was going on and you took the stand, I thought you did about as good of a job as I've ever seen someone in that kind of a position.
You did not allow them to corner you, and I tell you, Alex is always entertaining, but I very much appreciated you swinging the bat and doing it like you did.
Well thanks, I know that for a man in Alex's position it takes a lot to trust the people around him and I believe I've earned that trust and I think for him to be comfortable with me in that hot seat at that time was part of that trust and so I'm glad that let's just say they they couldn't corner me they couldn't
beat me down and they couldn't use me against Alex like they intended to.
Right and that's what we're talking about here with Russell Brand today like
this is what they try and do they try and divide you in your own
uh amongst your own ranks and let's go here to kind of they're trying to do
this with January 6th right they're hoping that enough people out there say
oh no no i'm not one of those people when there are hundreds of
thousands of people there January 6th who didn't didn't so much as uh as litter.
So let me just brief people here who weren't, and you can correct me if I have any of this wrong, this, by the way, 60 days jail for your alleged role January 6th, meaning you were there, the U.S.
District Judge, Um, I guess it's Judge Kelly says that you helped quote-unquote amp up the crowd and you did plead guilty to just breaching restricted capital grounds.
Um, do I have that about right?
Is that where we are now?
Yeah, obviously there are a lot more complex details than that, but those are both accurate facts.
So what, can I ask you this?
What are they saying you did wrong?
You know, Stephen, it's a very unique case.
In fact, there might not be any other case like it, because when we get the transcription fully released and published, and when people read the sentencing memo, which is public right now, I did a whole hour-long press conference on it with my lawyer, the government is trying to have their cake and eat it too.
And I think it's worth mentioning, before I even go into what they are saying I did, There's a lot of political pressure in D.C., and I think when you're dealing with U.S.
attorneys and the federal government, whether it's this case or any case, they always want a 100% conviction rate.
And they always get it.
This is part of the corrupt plea deal process, which we can get into my case with that in a second.
But here's virtually what the government argued.
Is that I didn't have to go into the building, I didn't have to commit any violent crimes, I didn't have to talk to a police officer or touch a police officer, but because of what I said before and after January 6th, those are what they argued in front of the judge is proof of my crime and my intent from that day.
Now here's why it's unique for multiple reasons, Steven.
A. Since when Does the government criminalize speech?
Because that is exactly what they've done here.
In the sentencing memo, there are four subsections.
Each subsection deals exactly with what I said, not what I did.
They make that very clear.
I didn't do anything that day, but what I said is what is being criminalized.
So they're obviously listening to my show every day.
I guess I was a little tickled by that.
proved that in their sentencing memo, but we've never seen this before, criminalizing speech.
But what's odd is, this is also in the sentencing memo.
They quote two interesting things.
They say in the memo that I was there with my team to de-escalate.
That's a quote from our team on the ground.
De-escalate.
Not to mention the quotes of Alex Jones saying, don't go in, don't go in, go around, we're not going in, we got a booth set up over here.
They do tend to leave that out, of course.
But they also quote me saying, we're here to peacefully, we're here to peacefully Share our voice.
Can I ask you a question?
Because their charges are different with different people, right?
And sometimes it's hard where people kind of throw everything January 6th in the same pot.
And we just saw that with the QAnon shaman who's really just guilty of dressing up like a sports fan.
Let's be honest here.
A lot of the people there were invited in.
It's the People's House, right?
It's the Capitol.
So that's on camera that a lot of them were invited in.
And even those people were charged with trespassing.
Are they trying to claim that you're not one of the people who was personally invited in?
That they were only escorting individuals?
Because that's on camera ad nauseum.
Alright, you can come in, single file.
What do they say to that?
I don't even really think that's a question worth answering, Stephen.
Not to offend you, but because I think the case here is that they have to take an example of me.
This isn't about what happened that day, that's clear.
This isn't about Trump's speaking event.
This isn't about how they opened the Capitol door, somebody opened the mag locks, people removed the barriers, people waved them in.
This isn't about that.
So, I mean, we could pontificate on that, and that is perfectly relevant to the overall story, but when it comes to my story, that's not what this is about.
This is about somebody in the government, somebody in the Justice Department, somebody in the Democrat Party wants my pound of flesh.
That's what this is all about.
That's where this comes from.
That's why they have to lock my ass in jail.
Well, the reason I bring it up is because of the term breaching.
I guess I've breached every house party to which I was invited.
You know, this is the problem is they confuse the language, right?
And they just go, ah, you know what?
Let's make an example of this person here.
I want to, and I know that obviously you guys are broadcasting MadMaxWorld.tv.
We're going to continue this on Mug Club here, or on Rumble if you're watching on Rumble, because some of these things we can't say on YouTube.
But everyone on YouTube, you know what MadMaxWorld.tv, right?
No one sure?
You guys know?
You guys can go and... Oh, hold on.
Gerald, were you about to say something?
Yeah, really quickly, I just wanted to make sure, so put the lower third back up for him, the way to support Owen.
Oh, that's right, yes.
I want to make sure we plug that before we go to Mug Club.
Yeah, sorry, it is givesendgo.com slash defendowen.
Sorry, I was plugging those.
It was up there before, but I just want to make sure we say it.
No, no, for people listening on audio, it's givesendgo.com slash defendowen.
I'm assuming that's your legal defense fund, right, Owen?
I'm sorry, I was in the moment.
No, stay in the moment.
That's what's so great about you.
Or you can go to DefendOwen.com, if you just want the short URL, DefendOwen.com, and just so people know, we're appealing this, and we believe that this case may end up at the Supreme Court, and that might just be where it belongs.
Yeah.
I absolutely hope you do.
And yeah, DefendOwen.com is certainly a better URL.
Much shorter.
Much, much.
DefendOwen.com.
If you're watching on Rumble, click the button below.
You get to continue watching on Mug Club.
YouTube.
I get to say it again today.
Thank you, Rumble.
YouTube, piss off.
