Gerald Morgan Jr. ( ) joins Crowder to talk about a variety of topics, including butt vaccines, the president of the Philippines, the American flag, and much, much more! Crowder is a stand-up comedian, actor, and podcaster. He is the host of the podcast "Crowder" and co-host of the show "Louder With Crowder" on Comedy Central.
00:02:28.000Willem Dafoe is, it's like if Christopher Walken were one of those dinosaurs that, you know, you get in the cereal box and you add water, and it's like if you didn't add the water.
00:04:13.000So here, before we get to anything else, what they're talking about in CNN, oh, they're talking about how it's a violation of human rights to require identification for voting.
00:04:20.000You know, in the United States, we're trying to entice people with donuts, with lotteries to get the vaccine because, you know, freedom.
00:04:27.000And in the Philippines, though, their president, Rodrigo Duterte, I don't know if I'm saying that correctly, but I don't care because it's largely an irrelevant country.
00:04:41.000He has taken a different tack, and I hate it because it's fascist and it's an abuse of rights, but I love it because we host an entertainment program.
00:04:51.000If you choose, you will either get vaccinated or go to jail.
00:04:58.000I told you, the jail is for the police.
00:05:03.000He says I'm telling you those police jails are filthy, foul smelling, and police are lazy and cleaning.
00:06:57.000It's going to be Thursday, tomorrow, and that's going to be California for Cultural Appropriation Month because it absolutely should not be a part of the United States.
00:07:05.000I thought it broke off and sank into the ocean.
00:07:53.000So, this morning on CNN, this is something to wonder, you know, a lot of people get this wrong when they talk about, like, cancel culture and they're trying to change this to accountability culture.
00:08:01.000Here's what, the term cancel culture, I've talked about this.
00:08:04.000It's not just when someone says something that turns their audience off.
00:08:07.000For a perfect example of that, There could be no cancel culture with comedians.
00:08:11.000In other words, with someone like a Louis C.K., someone like a Bill Burr.
00:08:14.000It doesn't matter because the audience comes to see them.
00:08:17.000Cancel culture is when you have people in disproportional positions of power who try to force someone out of the limelight because they hold an opinion that isn't even necessarily congruent with the rest of the public.
00:08:30.000It's not accountability when the people at, you know, CNN, MSNBC are the ones trying to get someone canceled and they happen to be effective, or YouTube, Facebook, Twitter.
00:08:39.000They were talking about... I think it's Jeffrey one-hand clapping Toobin.
00:11:07.000I mean, I think the rapping is pretty crappy.
00:11:09.000But then again, when they're, you know, they're standard-bearers, Tekashi 6ix9ine, I don't think this generation knows a whole lot about hip-hop.
00:13:24.000If you're of the right political persuasion or skin color, this next clip, I'll tell you, Mel Gibson, Michael Vick, blew my mind, but not really.
00:13:31.000So the question is, who is your audience and are you smart enough to know and figure that out?
00:13:40.000So there's a question about, when have people done enough to redeem themselves?
00:13:44.000And I think that's a very real question, is when is somebody worthy of forgiveness?
00:13:48.000You take someone, for example, like Michael Vick.
00:13:51.000Did something terrible, was convicted, paid the cost for that, served his time, and then came out and did a tremendous amount of work in supporting animal rights.
00:13:59.000And when you speak to people in those communities, they say, no, we feel like this was genuine.
00:14:02.000He really is very remorseful for what he did.
00:15:02.000Anti-Semitic tirades when calling drunkenly your gold-digging girlfriend and offering her one more chance, mind you, or... One more chance.
00:15:12.000Kill, drowning, electrocuting, strangling dogs alive who want nothing more than to be loyal to you.
00:15:47.000And I think, and same with Mel Gibson, I also think, I don't know, what work though has Michael Vick have been doing with all these animal- He threw some spray paint on people coming out of TJ Maxx and fur coats.
00:16:37.000It's very clear that the left will forgive violent action.
00:16:41.000Do you think if a white male conservative was burning dogs alive, electrocuting dogs alive, sorry, I don't want to be hyperbolic, do you think that they would be forgiven?
00:19:37.000Now, if in, you know, the middle of February you're seeking out some watermelons, Nothing like perpetuating the original stereotype, but you do you.
00:22:14.000But it just shows you how times have changed.
00:22:16.000If he said anything close to that, I mean, you know, not accidentally like he did in the clip that we have him here, then you would see, like, canceled immediately, right?
00:22:37.000Have you seen some of the guests we've had on the show?
00:22:40.000Where I have had to address the things that they've said 20, 30, 40 times?
00:22:45.000I just don't like though when you see somebody in a position of power like that where they're reading the N-word because they feel good, like they want to do it.
00:23:29.000The worst thing that Clarence Thomas did, just to be clear, for people out there who don't know, Just like some people aren't familiar with Macy Gray, find out with Gen Z, is he said, Hey, who put, uh, who, uh, whose, uh, pubic hair is on this Diet Coke can?
00:23:41.000That just makes me want to party with Clarence!
00:26:53.000Now, Biden tries to come back and act as though this is business as usual, and there are a lot of people going, wait, wait, he's prominent!
00:26:59.000So, Donald Trump divisive because he pointed out the lie, Joe Biden is divisive because now he's a part of the lie, and no one believes the lie anymore.
00:27:08.000And so, when you have Trump coming in, he basically understood a principle.
00:27:11.000You don't sacrifice the truth for unity.
00:27:13.000Doesn't mean you always get everything right, but unity was not his goal.
00:27:15.000Doing what was right in most of these situations with his policies and what he would say about the media, that was more important than unifying people.
00:27:24.000Now, really quickly, let me point out, just to kind of prove my point here, I want you to see how the media treated Donald Trump versus Joe Biden.
00:27:30.000I know you hear people complaining about it a lot, but I actually want you to believe your lion eyes and lion ears.
00:27:35.000Here's some of the greatest hits from the objective journalists as it relates to Donald Trump.
00:27:39.000Since you're attacking us, can you give us a question?
00:30:11.000It turns into, I got the self-lubricating pocket catheter.
00:30:15.000Well, I thought this was bad with Barack Obama, right?
00:30:17.000The media gave him a huge pass, right?
00:30:20.000Didn't do a whole lot of digging when he was running for president, didn't do a whole lot when he started to, you know, do his policies and do things that we thought were bad.
00:30:28.000Well, it's gotten worse because at least Barack Obama had charisma, right?
00:30:32.000He had charisma, but now they have to make up for that also.
00:30:37.000So in other words, with Barack Obama, they would be able to ask him a question, I don't know, about policy, and he could shuck and jive.
00:30:43.000Which, by the way, people should know out there, they tried to accuse Sarah Palin of being racist, and most recently I saw a black commentator saying that Candace Owens was chucking and jiving.
00:30:51.000And I said, there's no chuck, it's shuck and jive.
00:30:53.000People were like, oh, that's a gotcha.
00:30:56.000And if you're talking about being a Black Lives Matter activist and supporting critical race theory, you should know what shuck and jive means.
00:31:01.000It comes from being elusive to the slave masters, usually during corn husking season, and then became common nomenclature in boxing.
00:31:13.000He would shuck and jab and not answer and then go, thank you very much and move on.
00:31:16.000With Joe Biden, because he doesn't have any charm, they have to say, first, before I ask you a question, it's very clear that you are the president near and dear to everyone's heart and everyone loves you and you're super, super cool.
00:31:35.000And this wouldn't be so bad if Donald Trump didn't rip off the Band-Aid, if Donald Trump didn't turn the light on.
00:31:40.000So, do we blame the man who turned the light on, or do we blame the man who is now shooting the lights back out, or attempting to?
00:31:48.000And this is something, too, objectively, this is happening around the globe.
00:31:52.000In my home country of Canada, with Prime Minister Blackface, And then even, I think we have a clip right from Australia, Sky News, and I used to appear on Sky News when we were talking about debates.
00:32:46.000I just think Joe Biden is a lucky person.
00:32:48.000He has got all the media on his side, or most of the media on his side, particularly CNN, completely at odds with what they did to Trump.
00:32:57.000So, you know, his popularity surely can only win from this because he's getting so much Positive PR through the journalists who are massive fans of him.
00:33:43.000One time when I was on Sky News, the guy I was talking about, this was in the UK though, not Australia, I think they have different networks, he goes, Well, I certainly hope that you don't have any firearms where you are.
00:34:51.000So we should look at the difference in policies when people say Donald Trump was divisive.
00:34:54.000And they mean personality wise, I guess, because as far as policies, really, there wasn't anything all that divisive.
00:35:01.000And there shouldn't be by its very nature in reducing the size of government.
00:35:05.000In my opinion, when you intrude into people's lives, like, I don't know, say, Shutting down a business, or paying people unemployment in perpetuity so that business owners cannot hire them, or lock people at home in place despite skyrocketing suicide, and allow felons back into the street, right, and charge you for trying to protect yourself from felons amid these riots.
00:35:25.000I would say those are more divisive policies, whereas Donald Trump is like, rolling back taxes and regulations.
00:35:32.000I want you to hear it straight from the horse's mouth, I guess.
00:35:40.000The media criticizing the most divisive policies of Donald Trump.
00:35:43.000Fundamental decision of when a woman needs to make a decision about when she's having children, how many children she's having, under what circumstances she is having them, that those are fundamentally her decisions.
00:35:55.000President Trump tries to create red herring arguments that don't exist and he's lying to the American people.
00:37:57.000You think that American taxpayers should be taxed more and we should provide more money to abortions overseas as a method of population control.
00:38:52.000Yeah. The only way that this works is if you buy the lie that everything that Donald Trump said
00:38:56.000was racist. And the only way that that works is if you watch the clip that they want you to watch
00:39:00.000when it's edited the way they want it to be edited. That's the only way any of this works.
00:39:04.000And everybody had to carry the water. And they did.
00:39:06.000And we talk about divisive and radical. Let's go through Biden.
00:39:09.000Biden wants to put our taxes to a level that is unseen in the industrialized world, supports Black Lives Matter, the terrorist organization who on their site demand the destruction of the nuclear family.
00:39:27.000That's not hyperbolic, so that they can use the government as a political arm to target you, and of course, not to mention, he supports men who have been men their entire lives, and within one year, beating the shit out of women in sports.
00:39:39.000And you wanted to, look, Barack Obama, to give you an idea, when we talk about divisive, Barack Obama went into office He was whisked into office opposing gay marriage.
00:39:52.000Donald Trump was the only president ever elected who had supported gay marriage before he went into office.
00:39:58.000Whether I agree with him or not doesn't matter right now.
00:40:00.000If you were to go back to Barack Obama, meaning in 2008, 2009, 2010, I don't remember when he changed his mind, it was for political expediency, and if you were to tell Barack Hussein Obama.
00:40:10.000Hey, by the way, you're going to have to make sure that men with penises and testicles can fight women and compete at the Olympics.
00:40:16.000He'd say, no, no, come on, you're bringing up a straw man with your bullshit.
00:40:21.000The 70s are calling, they want their politics back.
00:40:40.000Biden goes, well, you know, however you want to identify, and women should just get used to it, and we have to redraft up Title IX because it was to protect women's sports, but, you know, and there's, no!
00:40:48.000This is, when it's, when it is determined by what you think you have to do to be woke, it inevitably becomes radical.
00:40:55.000This is a party that is politically beholden to Black Lives Matter, Antifa, and Kamala Harris, not to mention Navarro, I don't care how many decades ago she was a Republican.
00:41:08.000And if they're doing all this crap publicly, saying all this, making these the issues, what do you think they're doing behind your back?
00:41:16.000They're trying to screw you, get your money.
00:41:18.000These are all these nonsense they throw out there to make it seem like they care.
00:41:23.000That's one of the things I hate about politics.
00:41:28.000When will it get old when somebody just tells you what you want to hear, but then does something completely different, and you don't have the time to go and look into the matter and see that they did something different?
00:41:36.000That's what Trump did differently, too.
00:41:38.000He said, I'm going to do this, and he did it.
00:41:41.000Well, let me tell you why this is controversial, okay?
00:41:43.000Especially when, and I don't want to be conspiratorial, the only conspiracy that I hold is whoever's in charge of the photography for John Travolta VHS tapes, because it's always the same picture.
00:41:51.000I don't think he's ever taken a new headshot, but we'll get to that.
00:41:53.000That's a whole other segment that we're going to do one day.
00:41:57.000And you look at these international corporations for the same reason that they couldn't discuss China.
00:42:05.000For the same reason that they couldn't discuss a lot of these foreign issues because of basically them being beholden to foreign financial actors.
00:42:14.000Like the World Health Organization not acknowledging Taiwan.
00:42:16.000I don't think this is a conspiracy when it happens in plain sight, but I am asking you to extrapolate that and apply it a little bit to places like CNN, to places like Time Warner, to places like Disney Universal.
00:42:30.000When you look at the policies that were most controversial, What most offends the media when they say Donald Trump is divisive is he committed the cardinal sin of enacting policies that put you, the American, first.
00:42:41.000And I would even say you, the American woman, first in that you shouldn't have to compete against men.
00:42:45.000But let's even talk about this on a more geopolitical level.
00:43:17.000They acted like Taiwan is this metaphysical concept.
00:43:22.000Stuff on China, tariffs, brought jobs back, and what do you do?
00:43:25.000You force Mexico to stop migrants from coming over the border by levying a tariff.
00:43:29.000These were the policies that were considered impermissible and divisive.
00:43:32.000So just be clear, it's not the media versus Donald Trump, and it's not the left versus right.
00:43:36.000We know that the entire media, with the exception of maybe Fox News and the exception of a few shows like this, right, but the entire mainstream media, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC, They lean left.
00:43:56.000And this is how you get to the point where no one would have believed that Donald Trump, a guy raised in the lap of luxury, wealthy his entire life, beautiful penthouses, right?
00:44:05.000You're talking about beautiful private schools.
00:44:07.000Every opportunity handed to him somehow seemed more relatable to the working man than someone like Joe Biden, who talks about his boxing gym behind Amy's Diner, which never existed.
00:44:18.000And the reason for it is just because Donald Trump, look, I think he had a heart for the average American, and guess what?
00:44:25.000The average American was doing better.
00:44:37.000My point here is this is what happened.
00:44:39.000He believed That Americans should come first, since he was the President of the United States of America, and that was impermissible, and so the media attacked, attacked, attacked, and then they go, look how divided we are.
00:44:49.000Do you really think you have a former Vice President right now who's putting America first?
00:44:54.000But they don't question him on any of it.
00:51:10.000Macy Gray believes it's time for a new flag to represent the United States of America.
00:51:15.000In an essay shared on the stock market news site MarketWatch, Macy shared her thoughts on why she thinks the current flag no longer represents the U.S.
00:52:22.000So the truth is, when we're speaking factually, you are incorrect, despite, obviously, the qualifications that must come with writing an op-ed at Market Watch about the flag.
00:54:14.000It's that people amplify this, and this goes back to the idea of cancel culture.
00:54:17.000It's not that one person says this is offensive.
00:54:20.000It's that a bunch of other people in positions of power deem it offensive enough to get you removed, to take away your livelihood.
00:54:27.000In this case, it's not that one singer who hasn't had a single in years, which doesn't make her unqualified, mind you.
00:54:33.000It just means that obviously this is someone who is a useful pawn to the media, and they choose which voices and which opinions warrant Elevation.
00:54:42.000For example, if, uh, what's it, James Woods has an opinion, right?
00:54:46.000They go, washed up actor James Woods, who just had a number one show not long ago, and James Woods, you'd be hard-pressed to find an actor who people don't respect as an actor.
00:55:46.000When we change them, We changed the number of stars, for example, or the layout of stars to avoid the flag being cluttered, right, aesthetically.
00:55:55.000It wasn't a change of what the flag represented!
00:57:05.000It's getting dangerously close to the male symbol, so we have to avoid it.
00:57:09.000Next thing you know, someone puts an arrow in there and you're in trouble.
00:57:12.000Macy Gray and the left, they wanted to change colors, they wanted to change the symbolism, reasoning, because, again, the reasoning was, the current flag is racist, right?
00:57:21.000This is something that's pretty important.
00:57:22.000They're saying, we need to change it, we need to change the colors, we need to make it LGBTQAAIP inclusive, we need to make sure that it includes Washington D.C.
00:57:29.000and Puerto Rico, and this is the issue with things like critical race theory.
00:58:01.000This is why, also, other nations, be it World War II, be it other nations abroad, for example, being burned alive in cages, Christians in the Middle East, they are scanning the horizon in the hopes that the one beaking of a shining light they could see on the hill is that Stars and Stripes.
00:58:47.000Like you said, her privilege, her privilege, her freedom is embarrassing.
00:58:51.000You can't in the same breath say, hey, it's racist for us to have a wall to not open up our borders to every single caravan that wants to come here and say, by the way, our flag is a symbol of hate.
00:59:03.000It's like the Bethlehem Star for these people.
01:03:09.000So here's another argument that we see from the left, and I saw this all over Twitter.
01:03:13.000Again, blue checkmarks and people are like, oh yeah, listen, for people who say the flag matters, you don't want to change it, who fly the Trump flag or the thin blue line flag, you've lost a leg to stand on.
01:03:25.000Now this is an argument that passes for the CNN room or the Stephen Colbert writing.
01:03:29.000Look, almost always, almost invariably, when you see the Trump flag or the Thin Blue Line flag, it's alongside people who also carry the American flag because they don't deem it offensive, right?
01:03:40.000It was never meant to replace the American flag.
01:03:42.000Have you ever seen someone Opine that we need to do away with the American flag and replace it with the thin blue line flag?
01:03:49.000But because they honor the flag, and unlike Macy Gray on the left, who hate America, which is why they say Donald Trump was so divisive, because his policy put America first, starting to see the thread here, they, of course, will not carry the flag.
01:04:16.000See a truck with the thin blue line flag or look at houses that they have the thin blue line flag.
01:04:20.000Count how many of them in your neighborhood and comment below, are alongside the American flag.
01:04:25.000Now, For contrast, I want you to count how many of the rainbow Peter Puffing flags are alongside American flags.
01:04:32.000Because that is something I've never understood.
01:04:35.000If you're going to say that America is this symbol of hate and oppression, okay, how many porches do you think in Iran have the Iranian flag next to the LGBTQ AIP?
01:04:53.000I mean, I get it, it's because you hate America, because obviously we could go through this rationally and go, well, it seems to me you could still love the rights and freedoms afforded here in America, and love penis.
01:05:03.000And by the way, when police officers are basically being killed for sitting in their car in the wrong neighborhood, it's kind of okay to say, hey, I want to do something to support you.
01:05:13.000I'll fly the American flag and the thin blue line.
01:05:14.000Oh, you mean like the people, the organizations that Macy Gray supports?
01:06:42.000This is how they do everything wrong, the government.
01:06:44.000I remember I went into an audition once, okay?
01:06:47.000I don't know if people want this little inside baseball, but I went into an audition with one of the most well-known comedy casting agents of our generation.
01:06:54.000And she was like, yeah, and I heard you've seen so many stuff that you're more conservative.
01:06:58.000You know, that's not really common in this.
01:07:00.000I said, well, and this is how he answered exactly.
01:07:03.000I said, without getting into detail, I tend to believe that individuals, when given the freedom and ability to make their own decisions, do them more effectively, relatively speaking, to bureaucrats in DC.
01:09:11.000It's the same as like, even I understood when I was young, even though whatever, the Joe Camel thing, it's like, look it's a cartoon, it appeals to kids, I understand.
01:09:19.000Menthol cigarettes, there's no reason.
01:09:22.000It's like Spuds McKenzie, who by the way died of complication of liver failure and HIV.
01:10:18.000And if it's something that somebody enjoys, I'm not saying you should do it, but if you enjoy it, you're an adult, you're able to make that decision that you're allowed to have a cigarette, you should be able to have it.
01:10:50.000And so they decided to include among cigarettes Hand-rolled $8 or $9 cigars, along with Swisher Sweets, which by the way, a lot of these are Philly sweets.
01:11:01.000They tend to be smoked in urban communities.
01:12:32.000So this is something that was brought to my attention yesterday.
01:12:35.000Gerald, you're going to be fired because you're too much of a liability, and every time you point something out, and it's linked at loudearthcredit.com as an official source, it changes.
01:13:05.000On the show, Gerald covered that the WHO, the World Health Organization's vaccine guidance on their own website yesterday at the time of, it was 11 o'clock Eastern maybe?
01:13:48.000Children and adolescents tend to have milder disease compared to adults, so unless they are part of a group at higher risk of severe COVID-19, it is less urgent to vaccinate them than older people.
01:13:58.000Those with chronic health conditions and workers.
01:14:01.000More evidence is needed on the use of different COVID-19 vaccines for children.
01:14:05.000To be able to make general recommendations on vaccinating children against... Here's the thing.
01:14:09.000Yesterday, you made a very clear recommendation that they should not be vaccinated.
01:14:24.000Yesterday, within hours, they said, we can't make a recommendation.
01:14:27.000And this is the issue, because we ran into this same issue with the CDC, again, not expressing any opinions, can you bring up the overlay so I don't get in trouble, where the original on CDC, when this was said on air, I'm just going to read the CDC, it said, the risk of complications for healthy children is higher for flu compared to COVID-19.
01:14:47.000However, infants and children with underlying medical conditions are at increased risk for both flu and COVID-19.
01:14:52.000The key there is the risk of complications for healthy children is higher for flu compared to COVID-19.
01:14:56.000When that was quoted on air, that was the violation of YouTube guidelines.
01:15:10.000When we brought attention to it, then there's one hard strike later, the CDC changed it to read, For young children, especially children younger than five years old, the risks of serious complications is higher for flu compared to COVID-19.
01:15:22.000However, serious COVID-19 illness resulting in hospitalization and death can even occur in healthy young children.
01:15:28.000They changed it to minimize, well, we don't really know, but here's what's important.
01:15:32.000When you go from, hey, don't do X, don't vaccinate children, it's not recommended, to, oh, we don't know.
01:15:39.000What science, we're talking about science, what science changed in three hours?
01:15:44.000Is there a new study that we don't know about?
01:15:46.000This is all I'm saying, because I want to be able to trust the scientific process.
01:15:50.000The scientific process should be Gerald says something at 11 a.m.
01:15:53.000Eastern that's bolded on the World Health Organization.
01:16:40.000Now you need to tell us why you thought it was so important to remove what is a very important part of this.
01:16:46.000The bolded sections tend to draw people's attention on purpose, because this is where you need to focus your attention, then below it you explain what the point is.
01:16:54.000You change that, and then you change the write-up for it.
01:17:04.000They switched, right, on it being a lab leak.
01:17:06.000You're experiencing in real time, right now, people trying to navigate their lives and make decisions based on information that changes arbitrarily.
01:17:13.000Look, lest you claim I'm an anti-vaxxer, let me be really clear.
01:17:17.00097-year-old grandma who's had bronchial issues, I wanted her vaccinated as soon as humanly possible.
01:17:24.000Because I looked through the information that had been provided, data, and we had a lot of data on older people, and specifically people who may be immunocompromised, and of course, the science seemed to be very clear that any risk is worth the reward for them.
01:17:38.000Now, we need to be able to make this decision in real time, and before yesterday at 11, according to the World Health Organization, someone would look at it and go, okay, they're saying the science says don't do vaccinations for children, and you make that decision.
01:18:19.000I actually tweeted this out and I was like, I wonder how long this is going to take to be taken down because I'm sure this is going to go against their policy.
01:18:25.000Little did they know that, you know, it's like, just, I just took a screenshot of the website.
01:18:39.000I want to know who made the phone call.
01:18:40.000I want to know who made the phone call and said, hey, you need to change this because people are actually taking what we say seriously and they're basing their decisions off of it.
01:18:57.000What I am saying is, I have no idea why there was one statement and it was changed.
01:19:02.000This is not me just pulling a Jesse Ventura asking questions just trying to insinuate that there's a conspiracy.
01:19:07.000I actually want these answers and these are answers that only the World Health Organization, that only the CDC, that only people like Fauci can give us.
