Tulsi Gabbard joins the Hoshwins to discuss the Super Bowl, why it's Black History Month, and why AOC is a douchebag. Plus, we have a new segment called "Top 5 Democratic Crimes" featuring Jussie Smollett.
00:07:09.000Maybe he would send in his indentured servant and then beat him mercilessly and deport him on visa charges if he brought him something with dairy.
00:07:17.000Yeah, I'm down at the diner just drinking my coffee.
00:08:58.000But here's a letter that he wrote, which is always... Don't you just love it when these self-righteous celebrities write letters that they never expect politicians to write?
00:09:35.000I ain't going to do nothing because I'm bitch.
00:09:41.000I've never, anyone, you can go back to the very first show I'd ever done when this was on radio like eight years ago and an entire segment was on just how much I couldn't stand Bruce Springsteen.
00:09:49.000Well every single year when we get around Christmas you bring up his terrible song.
00:11:11.000You know, if you're accusing the sitting president and everyone, 70 million people, who support him for being white supremacists and neo-Nazis, I don't know how that's not inciting violence as opposed to saying, hey, we need to fix the integrity of our election.
00:16:25.000We'll have some extended Tulsi Gabbard, which we'll talk about some stuff that we're not allowed to talk about here on the YouTube Overlords, which reminds me!
00:16:32.000I'm glad you guys are here, because over the break, and you guys know that we've had to prepare for a lot of legal issues.
00:16:37.000We were suing Facebook, half-Asian billboards, and I think we'll be on impeachment stream tomorrow, but there have also been some issues with YouTube.
00:16:42.000Now here's the beauty, YouTube hasn't hit us with hard strikes, even though they typically do for hate speech violations, but I think it's probably because these things were already cleared and we've already been audited from YouTube, and now we have to change things retroactively, but during the break, We had quite a few of our old episodes removed for violation of hate speech guidelines.
00:17:00.000And when that happens, you know, I have to look through the analytics and say, okay, what's the trend here?
00:17:40.000Well, their algorithm that just hears audio is colorblind, unless you're complex and you have them on speed dial for...
00:17:47.000For Lil Wayne dropping his latest sneaker.
00:17:48.000That happened when we went to a YouTube conference and they brought all these conservatives and they had some lady come up from, like, Complex to talk about, like, guidelines.
00:17:56.000And I just read the quote with the N-word in front of her.
00:18:26.000But Hillary Clinton, AOC, Ilhan Omar, Joe Biden, like this, to me, I think it's because there's a rush to victimhood because that's more celebrated than accomplishments.
00:18:34.000In the left, but you tell me, why do you think it is that they do this constantly?
00:18:39.000And this was also, to me, you know what bothered me so much?
00:18:41.000I was listening to, I have like news updates that I listen to every morning.
00:18:43.000So I have BBC, ABC, Fox News, NPR, and I was listening to ABC News, and this was the Friday
00:19:28.000People listening to ABC genuinely have no idea that she was nowhere near the capital insurrection, no pipe bombs were planted there, and she's generally full of shit.
00:19:37.000They don't have any idea if they listen to ABC or Brian Williams.
00:19:41.000Or any other news outlet for that matter.
00:19:42.000He's at MSNBC, but the point is, I just like them all.
00:19:47.000There's a hatred in my heart that I'm not proud of.
00:20:30.000When you extend the context, you realize he's crazy.
00:20:34.000So I think he meant to say something else, but I don't exactly.
00:20:37.000Could you imagine if Donald Trump had said that?
00:20:38.000The point is, like, I don't think, listen, I don't think, if they were, if there was a mass voter, I think the last person to know would be Joe Biden.
00:21:43.000So, last Thursday, Time Magazine ran this article.
00:21:45.000It's called, The Secret History of the Shadow Campaign That Saved the 2020 Election.
00:21:49.000Now, I encourage you to read the full article.
00:21:51.000We link to it at ladderwithcrowder.com because I know what people will say that we're taking this out of context because they're trying to spin everything we're about to read to you as a positive, but some would argue it's tone deaf.
00:22:04.000So this is the article it's describing.
00:22:06.000It's meant to be sort of satirical, but look, it says, a well-funded cabal of powerful people ranging across industries and ideologies working together behind the scenes to influence perceptions, change rules and laws, steer media coverage, and control the flow of information.
00:22:20.000They were not rigging the election, they were fortifying it, and they believe the public needs to understand the system's fragility in order to ensure that democracy in America... so look, Here's the thing.
00:22:29.000They're trying to say they weren't rigging the elections.
00:22:31.000They were just trying to make sure that the elections were fair and that Donald Trump was silenced from all private industry.
00:22:38.000And it talks about the AFL-CIO, big tech, media.
00:22:41.000They're trying to say it wasn't rigged, and I understand what they're saying, through anything like Dominion or a massive voter fraud scheme.
00:22:46.000What they're trying to say is We were rigging it by making sure that the media covered Donald Trump negatively compared to Joe Biden at 9 to 1.
00:22:53.000They were rigging it in the sense that they made sure Hunter Biden was removed from Big Tech as false information.
00:22:57.000They were rigging it to make sure that people could vote by mail with no identification for the first time.
00:23:02.000They were rigging it to make sure that anything Republicans suggested as voter security would be considered racist and their lackeys in Big Tech would continue.
00:23:09.000That's what they were doing, and they were doing it for your own good.
00:23:21.000They fended off voter suppression lawsuits, recruited armies of poll workers, and got millions of people to vote by mail for the first time.
00:23:41.000They successfully pressured social media companies to take a harder line against disinformation and use data-driven strategies to fight viral smears.
00:23:51.000There was a conspiracy unfolding behind the scenes, one that both curtailed the protests and coordinated the resistance from CEOs.
00:23:58.000Now listen, this is very clear that Democrats are trying to steal the next elections.
00:24:03.000I can't talk about the previous elections, but what they talk about here.
00:24:06.000Very clear they're trying to rig the elections, trying to steal the next elections.
00:24:08.000Very clear what they're trying to do through voter laws, what they're trying to do without voter ID by having massive immigration and amnesty.
00:24:14.000So since we could, of course, be punished for this, hit the notification bell.
00:24:18.000Which may or may not work by the time you're clicking this, because subscriptions don't necessarily work.
00:24:24.000I was going to say, so they assume that they're on the side of the angels here, right?
00:24:27.000They're doing the Lord's work, essentially, and everything that we do to silence any of this stuff that we don't like to hear, any of the viewpoints that we don't like, is good and it's good for you.
00:24:36.000And I think the scariest... Good for you!
00:24:49.000Well here's the thing, they're trying to use it ironically, and I understand people will say, you're taking this out of context because they're talking about actually making the elections better.
00:24:56.000But the way they do it, think about this for a second, they are describing the Hunter Biden story being removed.
00:25:18.000The election wasn't rigged by just, we're not just talking about, long before that.
00:25:23.000You cannot compete against the kind of free advertising that the democratic system gives you.
00:25:27.000Their final quote, a couple more quotes, I think I read that, they fended off voter suppression lawsuits, recruited armies of poll workers, got millions, yeah, so they got people to vote for mail by the first time, recruited armies of poll workers, armies of poll workers, which on its face sounds preppy enough, but it seems increasingly, like how, did that play a significant role?
00:26:01.000And I have seen some women who came to me and said, let's get these MFs out.
00:26:08.000Accusing them of something like, your mask slipped, you were not six feet away, so you need to go out, and you know, your phone was out, and they were really intimidating all these white people.
00:26:20.000At 6am, Mr. Baxter and his management team got back on the microphone and said, this is what the new shift change, the new employees, says, this is what democracy is supposed to look like.
00:26:32.000Right in front of everyone, the whole room cheered.
00:27:17.000This is accepted at all the countries that you love to praise, right?
00:27:20.000Like even some of the socialist ones and the Norwegian countries that really are the population of the state of Rhode Island and are entirely homogenous.
00:27:27.000It looks like skim milk if you have to look at the demographics.
00:27:30.000What I don't get when Democrats are doing all this, why did Republicans just let it happen?
00:27:39.000And this is one of those things too, Democrats were talking about it.
00:27:41.000You can look at the Jimmy Carter Commission, you can look at the letters from Elizabeth Warren and Amy Klobuchar specifically that were being sent to, I don't know if it was the No, absolutely not.
00:27:48.000company of dominion where they were expressing obvious they had doubts in
00:27:52.000the security of our election and Republicans did not do enough. No
00:27:57.000absolutely not and when we had the laws changed when it quoted that part says we
00:28:01.000got what laws were changed was this was this in Pennsylvania where you changed
00:28:05.000the law illegally to make it okay to vote after the deadline
00:28:09.000Well, that wasn't the only state to do that.
00:28:11.000I'm just saying that's one of the biggest, right?
00:28:13.000So tell all of these things that you're bragging about, all these things that you're so patriotic about doing, right, to help fortify our election to make sure... What did you actually do?
00:28:22.000Tell me what laws you changed that were for the good of the people.
00:28:24.000Well, the labor unions who were behind this, where it talks about the article, they put themselves out of a job with the pipeline.
00:28:58.000So anyway, listen, go read this article, and I know that people say you're taking it out of context.
00:29:01.000No, I understand that they think all of these things are for your own good.
00:29:04.000I think that it's pretty crappy, and I think that now they're flagrantly admitting to things that Republicans were complaining about and sounding the alarm about.
00:29:11.000Now it's just they know nothing can be done.
00:29:14.000Republicans didn't fight enough back then, and you're gonna see all these Republicans grow a backbone now and be the party of no, like with Barack Obama.
00:29:40.000And so Democrats are supposed to be for fair elections, and they're being for fair elections by rigging elections, essentially the safe, fair elections, I'm sorry I misspoke, that didn't have any, you know, widespread fraud.
00:29:51.000No, there was no impact On the final election, of course, we would never say on YouTube that there are verifiably tens, hundreds of thousands of votes that are at the very least illegitimate and couldn't be counted, that they didn't do paper ballot recounts, and that there still are some courts moving, some cases moving through the courts.
00:30:08.000We can say that all these things obviously added up in tandem, but none of it Impacted the election, Ms.
00:30:22.000That whole Hunter Biden story, if every news media outlet added the facts of those emails and those pictures, he would have never got elected.
00:30:47.000That was years of somebody working their way into the swamp in administration to get their hands on incomplete tax returns to give a story to the New York Times that the media ran with too sweet up until the election.
00:30:59.000Hunter Biden was so cracked out of his mind he didn't pick up his iPad at Geek Squad.
00:31:04.000Yeah, and they couldn't claim they didn't know because they've been trying to get Donald Trump to release his tax returns.
00:33:16.000He gives $369 more, but that's basically the equivalent to nothing, because he goes, we need the government to do it, and he absolves himself of responsibility.
00:33:23.000Contrast that with Ebenezer Scrooge at the end of The Christmas Carol, where he is giving of his own volition freely to people, and he's giving from what he's earned through free enterprise, and he now pays Bob Cratchit more and allows him more coal for the fire.
00:33:37.000Still deplorable working conditions by modern standards, but baby steps.
00:34:11.000People always think that, like, when we had Donald Trump on, the first time we had Ted Cruz on, and we had Rudy Giuliani on, like, the exclusives, they're like, oh, it's just gonna be Stephen doing his Rudy Giuliani.
00:34:29.000Listen, listen, what's important to understand.
00:34:32.000So people know about the AOC thing, but you may have forgotten about some of these other fake crimes that Democrats have claimed were committed against them, because there's a race to victimhood.
00:34:55.000And if you need any more proof that there's a race to victimhood, look at Joe Biden's assistant.
00:35:00.000Is it health secretary, the transgender Rachel Levine?
00:37:02.000I think the American, if someone can bring that up, the American Association of Pediatrics declared transitioning children to be child abuse.
00:39:09.000You not only have great intellectual capacity, you have great personal courage.
00:39:14.000I've been with some of you when we've been shot at.
00:39:16.000I've been with some of you when we've been to places that you would not have any idea you'd want to be when you were going to school foreign policy.
00:39:25.000Like Bruce Springsteen's Super Bowl party!
00:40:53.000It wasn't like right outside the building and somebody said yeah there's some mortar fire a couple hundred yards away and if it keeps up we're gonna have to go down to the basement but I think we're fine.
00:41:07.000In fairness, now I don't think he knows that what he said was a lie the other day, I just think he's like, well, I remember saying this at one time, so it must be true.
00:41:15.000They love claiming, you guys were Marines, obviously, and I mean, you know, Stolen Valor is a genre of political speak, I guess, but they love claiming that they were shot at.
00:41:24.000I mean, you also have like Brian Williams, his was more exaggerated, he was like, they shot down my helicopter!
00:41:29.000And then my pilot went down like he hit a flamethrower in the edge, and I was holding on to it, and I was like, don't you die on me!
00:41:37.000And then I had to tilt it down, and I was like, eh, none of that happened.
00:41:40.000Everybody that brags about being shot at, they was never shot at.
00:41:44.000Because anybody that spent any time in war, they never brag about it or anything.
00:42:04.000What do you got to do to white people?
00:42:06.000What you got to do is you just hang a noose in your garage, tell everyone it's a hate crime, then run for office, Uncle Sam's none the wiser.
00:42:12.000They get the sympathy vote right away.
00:42:14.000You don't even need to make a noose, just get a piece of shoelace and tie it and be
00:44:17.000They're so comfortable lying because they just don't expect the media to do anything.
00:44:21.000Just like I said, ABC with the AOC story on Friday saying she recounts her harrowing surviving experience.
00:44:27.000The enemy isn't just people in the White House.
00:44:30.000The enemy isn't the enemy, and I use this term because Nancy Pelosi says the enemy within, When I say you're political, ideological, the people who are opposed to what you believe in.
00:44:38.000Listen, if you take the power of Washington DC over Hollywood, over the media, over big tech, most importantly, you would need a CAT scan.
00:44:44.000It's that these people feel so comfortable lying.
00:44:48.000We all know that if we made a lie like that, we would immediately be fact-checked.
00:45:56.000Comment, you know, about how the Democrats are planning to steal the next election, and what you think is the most egregious, I guess, there.
00:46:19.000Dick Blumenthal claimed that he had served in Vietnam, and this was, keep in mind, he didn't just say it like once or twice, like Joe Biden, like Hillary Clinton.
00:46:26.000They run on this to show you they're one of you.
00:46:30.000We have learned something very important since the days that I served in Vietnam, and you exemplify it.
00:46:36.000Whatever we think about the war, whatever we call it, Afghanistan or Iraq, we owe our military men and women unconditional Okay, he not only did he never serve in Vietnam, he was in Marine Reserves, thank you for your service, but he took five military deferments and actively avoided deployment, and here is Blumenthal admitting that he apparently misspoke.
00:48:12.000It's not like this guy joined the Marines and just happened to be in the Reserves like some of my buddies were.
00:48:16.000They just never got shipped out overseas to Afghanistan or stuff like that.
00:48:19.000He actually had four deferments that were just fine, and the fifth one was actually hanging in the balance.
00:48:23.000It didn't look like the fifth one was going to work, and he ended up getting placed in the Marine Reserves doing toys for tots and cleanup locally in the United States.
00:48:31.000It was like a coveted I don't mind that either!
00:48:33.000Just don't say that you were out in Vietnam when you used the older brother excuse from Wonder Years that you had flat feet so you were giving out shoebox full of Tootsie Rolls, you piece of shit!
00:48:42.000And you did everything in your power to stay away from there.
00:48:45.000I'm not saying that he shouldn't have been trying to not go, right?
00:48:47.000I get it, you know, if you're gonna get called up, that's a scary proposition.
00:48:50.000No, if you join the military, you shouldn't be trying to not go!
00:49:04.000But then he avoided it with everything he could, and then he's saying that he served during Vietnam, playing off it like, yeah, I served during Vietnam.
00:49:11.000You didn't go there, and you didn't want to go there either way.
00:49:14.000He knew a dog who was served in Vietnam.
00:49:18.000What about John Kerry and the Swift Boats?
00:49:30.000You gotta push him in sideways, kinda Tetris it.
00:49:33.000And you guys were in the Marines, too.
00:49:36.000You didn't talk about it a whole lot when I found you guys because you were doing just fitness videos and we thought your sketches and bits were funny.
00:49:41.000And then I read an interview where I found out that you were in the Marines.
00:49:43.000And I thought, oh wait, business owners, Marines, seem like good family guys.
00:49:47.000And that's when I said, I bet you they're more conservative than they realize.
00:49:50.000And you never just played it up where, like, thank me for my service.
00:51:34.000After she was caught maskless, remember this, in the salon in the Particle Vortex that is the dryer, she accused, this is just one of the worst clips, Nancy Pelosi.
00:51:42.000I've always said this, you guys say Hillary Clinton is evil and people used to give me so much flak in the 2016 election.
00:51:46.000I said, look, look, look, Hillary Clinton is bad.
00:52:00.000It's just going to be one really bad quote from Ilhan Omar about the Jews and, you know, all right, hit the bricks, brother, marry her.
00:52:08.000So after she was caught Damascus in the salon, she blamed this during the, on the salon owner, she blamed it, she blamed the salon owner of setting, it was a setup!
00:54:15.000And that's why they want you gone from social media, because they don't want the average American to have the wisdom to be able to call them on corruption.
00:54:35.000Ilhan Omar has recently claimed that the GOP is trying to strip her of committees because she is black and Muslim.
00:54:43.000They know they're doing what it is in their playbook, which is every time they are accused of wrongdoing to say, hey, look over here, there's a Muslim, there's an immigrant, there's a black person doing something else.
00:54:57.000I mean, we're getting a little loose with the rule book.
00:55:18.000That's actually not why they wanted to remove you from committee.
00:55:21.000So keep in mind, while people are talking about Margie Taylor Greene, I do think conspiracies that 9-11 didn't, or the Pentagon thing didn't happen, I think it's crazy.
00:55:28.000I don't know that we want to set the standard of removing people because they once held crazy opinions, because constituents did vote for that person, and that's the process.
00:55:34.000If people vote for that, that's what they deserve to get.
00:55:38.000But Ilhan Omar, if we're going to be comparing why they want to remove her from committees, is not because she's black and Muslim, but kind of because of the radical anti-Semitic tirades and crazy conspiracy theories.
00:56:48.000Like, maybe I should use a straw so it would limit my output.
00:56:53.000Right, and with all the outrage on the left right now from the conspiracy theories, like you said, the horrible stuff, like, that stuff's crazy that, uh, what's-her-name, MCG or MTG, whatever her name is, is spouting from the right, but this person's in your own party.
00:57:04.000I would believe your outrage a little bit more if maybe you cared about her.
00:57:09.000Keep talking for a little bit because I have to change.
00:57:11.000What do I need to put this to here, Quarterback Eric?
00:57:13.000Well, and Marjorie, by the way, so the problem with her, by the way, I don't know if anybody picked up on this, but the Democrats actually have removed her from committees.
00:58:03.000If you guys have a question, because we're going to after this, we'll go to Mug Club after we start with this, and then we have a Stephen Knows Sports Super Bowl edition, but stick around.
00:58:11.000But we have to mute your mics a little bit because our next guest may not be able to hear me super well.
00:59:19.000I was just a tiny little bit busy running for president and I think I was put on military duty for a little while in response to things happening here in Hawaii.
00:59:29.000Anyway, I'm really glad that this finally happened, so thank you for inviting me and for being patient.
00:59:33.000No, and I appreciate it, and I'm glad that you've come on the show.
00:59:35.000And listen, here's one thing that I think is important.
00:59:38.000Like, I disagree with you on a lot of policies.
00:59:39.000There are probably, if you were running in my district, they're like, listen, I can't because of where we disagree.
00:59:45.000But I think that you have been at the forefront of understanding the problem with big tech and with the complications that are coming into play there.
00:59:55.000So I'll go to our backstory in a little bit, but can you explain to people What it is that you think, or I guess what the biggest threat is right now from big tech to free speech, and of course expect to be called a Russian asset in Ceylon after this.
01:00:13.000I mean really what this gets to the heart to is the threat to free speech.
01:00:17.000And so I think this is where it is so important, especially right now during these crazy and divisive times, Let's see where people like you and I can agree.
01:00:28.000And fundamentally, as Americans, we agree in our constitutional right to free speech.
01:00:34.000And when you have these big tech monopolies essentially deciding who has a voice and who doesn't in these virtual public town squares that they've created, but you also have people in great positions of power in our government for partisan or political reasons trying to decide Who gets to be heard and who doesn't just further inflaming the divisiveness and really truly undermining our constitutional rights and that definition of who we are as a country and who we are as Americans.
01:01:04.000And that's really where when we look at big tech and their ability to essentially act with impunity to do whatever they want and making billions of dollars in the process.
01:01:17.000It speaks to the very dangerous place that we are as a country, and why we all need to come together as Americans and point this out, whether I like what you're saying or you like what I'm saying or not.
01:01:34.000It is exactly one of the major indicators of how dangerously powerful these big tech monopolies have become, and I thought it was very appropriate that we saw other heads of states from
01:01:45.000other countries around the world saying, hey, this is really, really dangerous and it's something that
01:01:51.000shouldn't happen. Again, whether you agree or disagree with what he said or what
01:01:55.000other people are saying, we have very clear guidelines laid out in our constitution
01:02:00.000and big tech does not get to be the decider of who has a voice in America and who doesn't.
01:02:09.000My biggest issue with Republicans, as you know we talk about 230, and it comes down to, I would like to see the first step being big tech.
01:02:16.000I'm tired of the pageantry and the hearings and Senator Hirono, I know you know Hirono, asking for me to be removed from a private company, in which case it's no longer the free market, actively asking for me to be removed from YouTube.
01:02:27.000That's surreal to see senators being like, Steven Crowder needs to be removed.
01:02:35.000If you remove me, you remove all conservatives.
01:02:37.000I think they kind of know that and that's what the goal is.
01:02:40.000But nothing was done from Republicans.
01:02:43.000And now you see, and this is something where I think a lot of people feel they maybe don't identify with the Democrat Party, it seems like everyone in positions of power right now in the Democrat Party support stifling opinions they don't like on big tech platforms.
01:02:58.000Yeah, and this is what's dangerous, is as they're looking at so-called reform, they're not really looking in the right places.
01:03:06.000You know, when people go and actually look at Section 230, the fix is actually quite simple, where you just change the line where it says, essentially, Big Tech has the authority to remove objectionable content.
01:03:21.000How much more vague can you get than that?
01:03:25.000Objectionable to who or for what reason?
01:03:28.000But then the thing that comes after that is the most troubling part.
01:03:30.000It says whether it is constitutional or not.
01:04:40.000So I was like, I think Tulsi could be a problem for Trump.
01:04:44.000So I didn't want to highlight this, but the issue was after you had some impressive debate, this has totally occurred organically, after you had some impressive debate performances.
01:04:52.000And we saw people searching for your name a whole lot more.
01:04:54.000You know, my kind of strong suit is YouTube.
01:04:57.000And I was looking for some clips from the debate, and I couldn't find them.
01:05:00.000And that forced me to do a bit of a deeper dive, and this is how we came to be in contact with you.
01:05:05.000For people who don't remember, we used VPNs, and let former me explain exactly what happened.
01:05:11.000When we sent our VPN to a non-United States country, and we searched for Tulsi Gabbard, her channel and the videos from her channel all showed up first.
01:05:22.000Yet again, when we switched our searches to the United States, however, nothing.
01:05:29.000Exclusively in the United States, the country in which she is currently running for president, you would receive no results from Tulsi Gabbard's channel or her videos until scrolling past the first page.
01:05:41.000Here's a video screen recording, just in case people try to say that we've doctored it.
01:05:46.000And by the way, let me just say really quickly, I started that from home using ExpressVPN, and then they ultimately became a sponsor.
01:05:51.000So people can go to expressvpn.com slash Crowder and you get three months free.
01:05:56.000We used a VPN to search you in other countries.
01:05:58.000And here's the thing, Tulsi, when we spoke with some people at Powers That Be, they said, well, that's just what happens no matter what as far as channels showing up.
01:06:06.000It still doesn't explain the differential between why you would show up in any country that's not the United States while actively running for president.
01:06:15.000And it's not only while actively running for president, but like you said when you opened this, in that first debate and I believe the second debate, possibly others to follow, I was the most searched candidate of the night.
01:06:28.000And so one would think that would kind of push some results up, say, hey, everybody's looking for information on this individual.
01:06:55.000Let me go search and learn more about her.
01:06:57.000So, you know, we had our Google ad account set up and we had everything so that people would be able to see the information that we were trying to share.
01:07:05.000And shortly after we learned I was the most searched candidate, magically our Google ads account was canceled.
01:07:14.000Without explanation, without any direction saying, hey, fix this and then we'll put it back up.
01:07:18.000It was suspended and we were working the phones and the emails.
01:07:21.000We're trying to figure out, hey, what's going on here?
01:09:05.000I thought you were about to say red hair.
01:09:07.000Bernie Sanders supporters to red hat Trump muggle hat wearing Trump supporters.
01:09:12.000He said red hat. I thought you were about to say red hair.
01:09:14.000I was like, you got to boot those people.
01:09:18.000And and having very respectful, open discussions and conversations,
01:09:23.000not everybody saying kumbaya, we all agree on everything by any means,
01:09:27.000but coming together in that spirit of saying we love our country and we want to
01:09:32.000we want to work together to be able to do some good things.
01:09:35.000And that was, I think, the threat that not only people like you may have seen but also I saw it as a threat politically, meaning like, okay, Democrat, Republican at this point, but I saw it as someone like yourself is good for the country.
01:09:54.000And as someone, for example, who does it changed my mind as someone who's had people, I mean, I've had, I've had, we just talked about imams on the show who actively use my show to call for my death.
01:10:03.000And I was like, ooh, we maybe should cut his microphone.
01:10:28.000And keep in mind, too, they were taking down her ads while we were running the searches,
01:10:31.000and you couldn't find her organically.
01:10:33.000That's just so- So that's Google, that's YouTube, we've had Facebook issues.
01:10:37.000These companies seem to be acting with impunity and we've given the Republicans a hard
01:10:41.000time for not doing more about it. Are there any people on your side of the aisle that have the same
01:10:45.000concerns that you do about this? So is there any hope for this changing if the Democrats are in
01:10:50.000control? There's a lot of talk and this has been the problem is that when it is people who feel
01:10:57.000like they are being targeted then they start to speak up about it.
01:11:02.000We've heard a lot of talk, we've had a lot of these fancy hearings, but when it comes down to the kind of change that we're talking about here today, I don't see it, to be quite honest.
01:11:12.000They're talking about making some other changes that I think would probably move in the wrong direction of squashing more voices than actually moving in the right direction, which is doing what you just Talked about, Steven, is let people come on.
01:11:58.000He's like, I'm gonna stay in tonight and binge watch.
01:12:03.000No, but I do want to ask how you would classify your views because we're talking about there's been a lot of talk and I do view, you know, when they call for unity and they say the right is really far right, listen, you know, I'm about as conservative as conservative gets if you were to line me on that spectrum, more libertarian.
01:12:17.000I see really the radicalism coming from the left as far as not only banning speech, but before your term ended, you proposed a bill To ban biological males, biological males who are trans females, from women's sports to protect Title IX.
01:12:34.000And that seems like something that should be reasonable.
01:12:37.000Because here's the thing, when the LGBTQAAIP, and it kept expanding, I remember we had people on this show, I had a trans activist on the show, and I said, well, what do you do then when it comes to women's sports?
01:12:46.000And this was before we had the Fallon Fox scenario breaking someone's orbital.
01:12:50.000And Z said, well, we're not asking to be in women's sports.
01:12:56.000I said, well, what's to stop it when you say that men and women are no different?
01:12:59.000You can change it on your driver's license.
01:13:02.000To me, the fact that you have to propose a bill to ban biological males from competing in women's sports says that the Overton window has moved.
01:13:10.000Can you tell us, too, about the kind of backlash that you received for something that reasonable?
01:13:17.000I got a lot of backlash from people who, I don't know if they even read the bill.
01:13:21.000The word trans is not even included in the bill.
01:13:24.000It was purely a bill that was intended to clarify, uphold and strengthen Title IX
01:13:31.000in order to continue to carry out the legacy of this historic legislation that was a game changer
01:13:37.000for people like my mom who grew up super athletic, a tomboy, she wanted to play sports,
01:13:41.000but she was limited to cheerleading and water ballet.
01:13:45.000And then you look a generation later and you see the opportunities that opened up
01:13:49.000for women and girls that really leveled that playing field.
01:13:53.000And my intent working with my colleague, Republican Mark Wayne Mullen from Oklahoma, who has six kids, three of them are little girls, who love to wrestle.
01:14:03.000And for him and his wife, they're thinking, okay, what happens if one day we take Lara out
01:14:09.000to a competition and all of a sudden she's up against a boy who is much bigger and much stronger
01:14:15.000and what kind of not only unfairness that creates, but also just the physical danger
01:14:55.000Well, I think that's a big part of, you know, sort of third wave feminism is, and I was raised this way in public schools in Canada, where they just said, you know, boys can do everything girls can do and girls can do everything boys can do.
01:15:07.000So then we had to have those conversations.
01:15:09.000And I think that, listen, since they've labeled conservatives all the time, chauvinists, sexist, racist, whatever it is, I've been very clear.
01:15:15.000I don't want biological males to compete in female sports because I don't like watching women get beaten up by biological males.
