On today's show, the brother and sister duo of the and discuss the recent shooting of a black man by police in Kenosha, Wisconsin. They also talk about the recent events in New York City, including the NYPD shooting of an African-American man in a car on the street.
00:00:47.000Kenosha, which is kind of surprising because he's actually bigger in Sheboygan.
00:00:52.000And then we'll be talking about why New York sucks, why New York City sucks.
00:00:56.000And we're going to do a recap here of the RNC from last night and you guys voted on Twitter.
00:01:01.000We will be broadcasting live on Thursday night because I think we're actually going to have Ted Cruz, Senator Ted Cruz and Donald Trump Jr.
00:03:52.000And his actions right then are enough!
00:03:55.000But again, if they know who this guy is, maybe they do, maybe they don't, That would also add to it because there's a warrant out for his arrest, which is not that hard to figure out if you run the plates.
00:05:29.000What a gentle, averaged-sized, giant-hearted man he was.
00:05:34.000It's a little tough to make that work when you're not 6'4".
00:05:36.000Really quickly, let's go to CNN to see this man do an upper lip.
00:05:39.000Republicans tout Trump's handling of pandemic.
00:05:42.000Hmm, yeah, well you know what, we're gonna fact check CNN's fact check.
00:05:45.000Went from cotton to Congress in one lifetime.
00:05:48.000They can't just say Donald Trump responded to the pandemic faster than Democrats.
00:05:53.000They got really mad when they cut from one of his speeches because they said it was misleading, when the fact is he showed a video of Joe Biden saying it was xenophobic, of Nancy Pelosi saying come on down to Chinatown, it's totally fine, like that is doctrine.
00:06:07.000Oh, so she was saying, come on down to Chinatown, uh, at a different time where the pandemic wasn't going on?
00:06:13.000This wasn't after Donald Trump's stated travel ban?
00:06:15.000No, it was, but we just, but we don't, but we don't like him.
00:08:37.000Alright, so my question for you actually is, do you think that the word fact check, we're going to get into the RNC and the fact checking here in a little bit, has the word fact check lost all meaning?
00:08:45.000And I tried to tune into ABC thinking it was just CNN.
00:11:24.000Talentless, unlikable, and, you know, listen, for all the superficial reasons, we can't say it on YouTube, but I believe this next clip speaks for itself.
00:11:59.000They don't have the journalistic standards like we did in our fact-checking of Jesse Smollett, which I then defended after we found out that it's not very common for people to make nooses out of shoelaces when they're two Zambian personal trainers.
00:12:12.000We should have seen the signs, but I'm gonna double down still straight!
00:12:29.000I was seriously blown away to hear him say that those news organizations did have journalistic standards.
00:12:35.000Have you seen any of the live streams that we've done?
00:12:38.000Have you seen anything that you've put on air that has turned out to be completely false?
00:12:43.000That's the problem with alternative media, is someone like you gets to have a voice as legitimate as the person who... I don't even know what connection this guy has!
00:13:46.000It's almost like God had an extra mold and said, toss that one on there, see what happens.
00:13:50.000So, the highlight, before we get to the fact-checking, the highlight of last night, for people who didn't watch the RNC, I don't know, did you guys all watch it?
00:14:00.000Was this Cuban immigrant, a guy named Maximo, I want to make sure I get it right, Maximo Alvarez, and this is something Something I've talked about before, because Cuban immigrants were the single most reliable Republican voting bloc for a long time, like 80-something percent.
00:14:13.000And there's a great film from Andy Garcia, is it The Lost City?
00:14:18.000I can't remember what it was, but it was about sort of the changeover, I think, of Batista to, you know, Guevara and Castro, and that kind of whole changing of hands.
00:14:25.000A remarkable film, and it didn't really get a lot of attention.
00:14:28.000I think Cuban Americans, those immigrants, it's really a group that people should study.
00:14:44.000I think that's the biggest difference that you see between the Republican convention and the Democrat convention is you're down, you're out, you can't do it, systems stacked against you, unless the guy who's been in office for 59 years returns and he'll save you.
00:14:56.000And the Republican, there was a lot of hero worship of Donald Trump.
00:15:30.000Tons of money was pouring down there from American companies.
00:15:32.000So he gets to see prosperity, people being misguided and falling into communism, and a true dictator, not somebody like, oh, Donald Trump's a dictator.
00:15:40.000A true dictator and seeing exactly what happens.
00:15:42.000And they came here for freedom, and that's why they vote Republican.
00:15:44.000As opposed to like Honduras or Venezuela where they've created nothing aside from Miss America, wonderful contestants.
00:15:54.000So let me show this first before we get to the fact check, but I think everyone should see this and I would love to have him on the show.
00:15:58.000Maximo Alvarez, the Cuban immigrant, business owner in Florida, last night at the RNC.
00:16:03.000Those four promises, spread the wealth, free education, free healthcare, defund the police, Trust the socialist state more than your family and your community.
00:17:01.000I think the strategy you see from the RNC is, hey, we're going to have a bunch of Americans who are just like you.
00:17:05.000That's why we have a lot of people who are just small business owners or nurses.
00:17:08.000The problem is they're just like you, but they come across as inauthentic because they're not polished speakers.
00:17:13.000And so that's where you have politicians or people like Joe Biden who've never worked a day in their life in the private sector since the ripe old age of 24.
00:17:19.000And they act like they're just like you, but they can sell people on it because they're good communicators.
00:17:25.000And so unfortunately, the people who are like you and who will vote just as you are voting for President Trump, they come across as reading off a prompter and wooden, and I think there's a disconnect.
00:17:34.000So sometimes the people who are best, their stories are best told, they're not best told by themselves.
00:17:40.000And there was a couple of other people, too.
00:17:41.000I mean, Hershel Walker was one of the guys that spoke.
00:17:44.000He was actually great, because they're dealing with a couple of things.
00:17:46.000One is that socialism, this whole push from the left for socialism, is going to work, and it's fantastic.
00:17:51.000He just refuted that right there, bringing somebody on who's dealt with it before.
00:17:54.000And then Donald Trump is a racist, and he's like, I've known the man for 36, 37 years, and I've had a personal friendship with him, and you're telling me?
00:18:23.000I was just going to say that what you were talking about with authenticity, a lot of times when people think that they're seeing something authentic, it's just really good people.
00:18:29.000People who are really good at faking it.
00:19:54.000But first let's go to some video clips.
00:19:55.000This is where they're talking about how Joe Biden, they're trying to fact-check that Republicans at the convention said that Joe Biden actually condoned or supported the violent rioters.
00:20:04.000Give us some examples of what you saw tonight that needs to be fact-checked, and we understand this is just a small sampling.
00:21:04.000And the worst example he could pick is Portland.
00:21:06.000Yeah, I was about to say, if you're gonna pick one city where you could, like, make it seem like there were peaceful protests, you wouldn't pick Portland.
00:21:50.000But they try and say, just like Mashable, that you are being unscientific.
00:21:54.000These are the people who, by the way, say you can't vote in person, despite the fact that both Fauci and Birx, who agree on almost nothing, both said, if you can go to Trader Joe's and pick up your General Orange Chicken, I know I'm botching that because they appropriated culture, if you can go pick up your Orange Joe Chicken, whatever it's called, I have no idea, someone can correct me.
00:22:17.000But let's be clear, when people like me say this is a social engineering experiment, what do I mean?
00:22:23.000I mean it is the most powerful political weapon that I can think of having ever been wielded in my time.
00:22:28.000Let's walk through the timeline now, because sometimes you're too close to the forest to see the trees.
00:22:33.000Okay, so with the COVID, you cannot Go to work, open a business, go to church, go to school, you can't vote, but we're going to declare racism a national health emergency so you can riot in the streets.
00:22:45.000And people wonder why we think that this is some kind of an engineering program to control people.
00:22:51.000Yeah, and that's why the death rate is important.
00:22:53.000That's why it's important to say that all of this sort of social engineering or whatever, whatever you want to call it, is over a disease that has like a one-half of one percent chance of actually killing you if you get it.
00:23:01.000I've known four people who've gotten it now.
00:23:23.000We couldn't get cherry bombs this month, but we're hoping, fingers crossed with Amazon Prime kicking in, but some of the van delivery drivers are afraid to come on out here.
00:25:10.000And if you remember when he was giving the State of the Union, it was like, what are they going to say against him?
00:25:14.000Every single number that he's putting out there on the economy is just killing it.
00:25:18.000And now the stock market, and I know people say the stock market is not necessarily the economy, but look at the recovery that it has made.
00:25:23.000We're not very far off the highs we saw in the NASDAQ, even higher than it was before.
00:25:27.000Yeah, and there's going to be a delayed reaction with businesses reopening.
00:25:59.000Let me rephrase, it's not the pandemic that did this.
00:26:03.000It's the overreaction because of scare tactics in the media about a pandemic.
00:26:08.000They wouldn't talk about these numbers before when it was actually happening, but now that they're not happening because of them, now they talk about it.
00:26:14.000Lockdowns have never worked in history, but okay, let's try them again and see if it can ruin the economy so that we can elect somebody else who's terrible at their job to begin with.
00:26:21.000And one thing from that CNN lower third, it still says, NYC struggles to bounce back after pandemic.
00:26:26.000Can we say that we're after the pandemic?
00:27:48.000Okay, let's go to this article here, and I think you obviously have the thing there that we're going to be hitting for the fact-checking, because I want to read the rest of this article.
00:27:56.000Oh, first, hit the notification bell, please.
00:27:58.000Notification bell, and join Mug Club, because subscriptions don't mean a whole lot.
00:28:02.000Every morning, Monday through Thursday, we do it at 10 a.m.
00:28:04.000Eastern, unless there's breaking news, and we start maybe 15, 20 minutes late.
00:29:02.000intelligence community did not determine that China preferred Biden because he would economically or otherwise weaken the U.S.
00:29:08.000Rather, it outlined... This is a CNN fact check.
00:29:10.000Rather, it outlined that China preferred that President Donald Trump lose the election because it was unpredictable and because of the many actions he has taken against China.
00:30:36.000Median household income stayed essentially flat in 2018 at $63,200, breaking a three-year streak of increases according to the most recent Census Bureau data.
00:30:56.000And then there was an increase, by the way, in 2019, which they don't talk about, and 2020, until the temporary pandemic, which is what you guys claim.
00:31:03.000But yeah, listen, if you want to look at the actual numbers, Barack Obama, eight years, a $1,000 average income, middle class income increase.
00:31:14.000And am I the only one who notices this?
00:31:15.000Barack Obama is the only president in American history who, for some reason, when he was president, there was a time warp where he wasn't responsible for all the crap that happened.
00:31:25.000While he was president, it was always George Bush's fault, and now all the success of Donald Trump is Barack Obama's doing.
00:31:31.000Remember he would come and be like, I know I had to recover from a bad economy, from horrible policy, and I know that right now unemployment is terrible and drone strikes, but just watch, the next guy's gonna come in and I'll take credit for that shit.
00:32:39.000Haley inaccurately suggests all Democrats want government-run health.
00:32:42.000This is true of some Democrats, but it's not a policy Joe Biden supports.
00:32:46.000While he does advocate broadening the government's involvement in the nation's healthcare system, he does not back so-called single-payer programs like Medicare for All, which were pushed by others in the primary.
00:33:38.000He's a walking record of failures on race, on healthcare, on guns, not only policy-wise, but even knowing About any of these things.
00:33:47.000He thinks that if you aim a double-barreled... He thinks that you can scare off intruders and a woman can protect her house by aiming a double-barreled shotgun in the sky!
00:33:56.000Which is illegal in most places, by the way.
00:34:58.000And he, and Joe Biden, like Joe Biden picked, that's why, in case you've noticed, he hasn't really been talking about Beto.
00:35:04.000And Beto's been losing weight like he's Tom Hanks in Philadelphia because of all the stress.
00:35:08.000He's like, I'm going to be the gun czar, the suspense is killing me.
00:35:11.000I don't think you're going to be because that would be the equivalent to Joe Biden saying, hey, can someone guarantee me a loss on this election?
00:35:19.000Can I find the guy who said he will take all of your firearms away and make them my guns are amidst the surging crime and record violent assaults occurring at major cities across this country with more first-time gun buyers than ever in the history of the United States including Democrats?
00:35:35.000Yeah yeah yeah I'm gonna stick with Beto O'Rourke.
00:36:02.000You know, this would have been a lot better if Biden had actually given us comment, but he was too busy talking about whaps with Cardi B in Buzzfeed.
00:36:11.000He was too busy giving an interview to the website that has single-handedly create clickbait listicles.
00:39:02.000Well, he called him xenophobic, but not because of that.
00:39:05.000Which, by the way, is anyone else surprised that, uh, if you want to talk about racism, we were on the show, and I remember someone saying, oh, you might get in trouble for that, when they were wearing the African garb.
00:43:27.000ExpressVPN is really easy to use once it's on your phone, once it's on your laptop. We use it all the time.
00:43:29.000We use it for figuring out the YouTube algorithms with Toffee Gabbard and myself.
00:43:35.000So I owe a personal debt of gratitude, because I'm sure that ExpressVPN, long before they were sponsored, played a significant role in us being remonetized.
00:44:06.000Alright, it is ExpressVPN.com slash Crowder.
00:44:11.000I really do appreciate their support and it's a useful product.
00:44:13.000Alright, we have on the show right now, he's been on the ground for us before in Dallas when the riots were first starting, and now he is in Kenosha, Wisconsin.
00:44:53.000You know, actually, what's kind of funny, I mean, it's hard to say this is funny when this is someone's entire livelihood destroyed, but right near here, about a block away, there's the Democrat building for the left.
00:45:05.000So it's boarded up with every other business.
00:45:08.000The buildings around it have been burned to the ground, dozens of cars set on fire, and they have a nice little banner above their boarded up store that says, Well that'll teach that parking lot to not support men who are serial violent offenders with a warrant out for current sexual assault, domestic abuse, and wrestling with cops.
00:45:29.000I think we're all learning a little bit about ourselves.
00:45:32.000Right now, I want to go to a clip really quickly and then ask your question on this, Elijah Schaefer, where someone, I believe this is your footage, aimed an actual gun at you yesterday in Kenosha, of course, the place where Jacob Blake was shot by police.
00:48:01.000But Kenosha, Wisconsin, is where it's happening now.
00:48:05.000How would you say this compares to what we saw after George Floyd in places like Dallas, where you helped report for us?
00:48:10.000And by the way, I also want to make sure people know that your channel is slightly offensive on YouTube.
00:48:14.000How does this compare to post-George Floyd?
00:48:18.000Okay, well, I don't know what this does for George, considering the fact that some of these Businesses are actually black-owned businesses and minority-owned businesses.
00:48:28.000But what's the most important thing here is this is actually kind of worse than the Minneapolis in a lot of ways because there was at least 10 structure fires.
00:48:36.000They burnt down the youth correctional facility.
00:48:39.000They burnt down the office furniture supply store because nothing says, uh, let's end police brutality like burning a L-shaped office desk, you know, really helping the community there.
00:50:23.000They stayed at the, at the county courthouse.
00:50:27.000But the, the people, it took, I think the total response time for fire trucks to come to put out building fires was approximately like 57 minutes.
00:50:36.000So it took almost an hour for, for fire departments to come.
00:50:40.000But there's, this is where, this is where I'm just like, what the, Okay.
00:51:12.000Everyone on YouTube, please do consider joining Mug Club at ladderwithcrowder.com slash Mug Club because we have a full twice the length of this Behind the Paywall every day.
