Samson, the son of God, is the strongest man in the world, and yet he can't seem to trust anyone but himself. Why does he not trust anyone else? And why does he keep saying no to everything?
00:00:01.000We'll continue our series of A Ladder with Crowder Bible Stories in a second.
00:00:05.000Just wanted to kind of issue this call to action here.
00:00:08.000Do you know anyone out there who is in need this Christmas?
00:00:10.000We're going to be doing a big Christmas special December 15th.
00:00:14.000If you watched last year's, we'll have a link in the description.
00:00:16.000We just did basically a whole two hours with Santa Claus, I guess Crowder Claus, I don't know, Santa Claus, and helped out families in need and did some stuff with children.
00:00:48.000Something, you know, if you people haven't done it yet, if you come out to a live show, there's something really special, especially around this season, in being surrounded by like-minded people, knowing that you're not alone.
00:00:56.000New Jersey is sold out this weekend, but there are still tickets in Baltimore, I think, yeah, December 3rd, this Saturday.
00:01:02.000And keep in mind, there's always about 2% of tickets that release the day of.
00:01:05.000People couldn't find a sitter, or, you know, people weren't able to make it.
00:01:09.000So if you walk up, find out when the ticket counter opens up, you might be able to snag yourself one day of.
00:04:43.000If some of it seems remedial, there is some relevancy to Elizabeth Warren wanting to control all of the flow of information as she's speaking out against Elon Musk.
00:04:52.000We also know a little bit more about what's going on between Elon Musk and Apple, and we know what's been happening with Twitter before Elon Musk as it relates to election meddling.
00:04:59.000Not everything, but again, this is the war of our time.
00:05:02.000This is the most important battle of your time.
00:05:04.000It's the battle of information, and something I really have wanted to talk about for a while, but I needed to lay out a case.
00:05:08.000All references are available at ladarthcreditor.com.
00:05:11.000Do you believe that the middle class is shrinking?
00:05:14.000If you are Gen Z, if you're a younger millennial, do you feel as though, or do you think, I should say, let's eliminate feel from the lexicon, do you think that it is harder for you to achieve the American dream than your parents who are likely in the, you know, baby boomer generation?
00:05:27.000There's some truth to it, and I think that conservatives, Republicans would do well to hear it, but it's not the truth that you think it is, and the solution is freedom and more options because there's also a silver lining where you can live much, much more luxuriously than your parents if you make decisions.
00:05:44.000The problem is the decisions that you have to make fly in the face of every decision that you are told to make from kindergarten all the way through university.
00:07:26.000Okay, so before we move on with the rest of the news, and again, this is what's happening with what's been going on with big tech with Twitter.
00:08:33.000See with all the colors of the forest.
00:08:36.000So a Vancouver woman has now approached parental rights activists, I believe this is in Canada because it's Vancouver, to confront the people who are confronting the drag queen activists who are sexualizing their children.
00:08:49.000But this woman doesn't have a problem with it and she makes salient points.
00:10:30.000Now, the issue is when you have degenerate men dressed as women twerking their ballsack in children's face next to the pop-out book section.
00:10:38.000That's the context with which we have a problem, I believe.
00:10:42.000Yeah, well, and it was this guy, I think, was saying, OK, look, I get you say it's just a human body and you can wear whatever you want to wear.
00:10:48.000He didn't go like, OK, so lingerie, OK, like edible panties or anything like that.
00:10:51.000He's like, I'm going to go as far as I can possibly go, because of course he's going to say no to this.
00:10:56.000How about a naked guy reading to children?
00:11:53.000I'm just trying to think of what I can say because I know what platform we're on.
00:11:59.000By the way, I put on the softies, the ranger panties, that we have at CrowderShop.com when I do bath time with the little ones.
00:12:05.000Well, that's because you're their dad!
00:12:07.000Yeah, but I'm saying I put those on still because, like, you know, in other words, I get that some dads sometimes, like, they're naked with, like, baby's bath time.
00:12:13.000The point is, I understand the context.
00:12:55.000I swear to you, I put them, because I have a whole routine, it's like a conveyor belt, where I have those towel down, and then, you know, obviously you put on like the suave or aquaphor.
00:14:41.000And he goes on and he goes, yeah, and you know, like he killed the guy.
00:14:43.000And then later the funniest thing he's ever said is Star Jones was on it.
00:14:47.000He goes, yeah, I didn't really like Star Wars all that much, but you know some of them like Billy, you know, like Billy Dee Williams, you know what I'm talking about.
00:15:22.000So, um, and hit the like button, hit share, by the way, if you're watching right now, because the algorithms say that we're dead, we're going to be discussing some things here that, uh, YouTube doesn't want us discussing, and if they ban us, fine, you can follow us on Rumble, you can watch on Rumble, head on over there, it's a live show Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m.
00:15:37.000Eastern, by that I mean 1015, but 10 a.m.
00:15:39.000Eastern, and, uh, head on over to Rumble, I would love to see the numbers go, beep, Switch over.
00:15:44.000Okay, Elizabeth Warren, you been following us?
00:16:02.000So Elizabeth Warren was asked by a reporter, and then she responded, and this is what's concerning about this.
00:16:08.000When you hear Elizabeth Warren, and when you hear whoever it is, insert today, whether it's AOC, insert whichever Democrat politician, member of the DNC, start speaking out, when you hear them speak out against Elon Musk, I just want you to picture the voice of their friend, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos, Susan Wojcicki, because we know they have meetings, and we know that they've worked alongside them.
00:16:27.000So Elizabeth Warren was asked about Elon Musk with that context.
00:17:44.000Different thing when you're talking about free speech, Section 230 versus antitrust, but it's a component to it.
00:17:48.000So here you have from her website, references available at ladoscutter.com, we must hold these big tech companies accountable and break them up.
00:17:55.000Okay, go read the rest of it then, it's just a bunch of fluff, because you're not actually seeing what that means.
00:18:05.000And you can't consistently line up on the wrong side accidentally, always!
00:18:10.000You never have an accident that errs on the side of freedom?
00:18:13.000Let's look at what she actually wants to do here.
00:18:15.000Elizabeth Warren wants to control the flow of information herself.
00:18:18.000So during her 2020 presidential campaign, she vowed to, quote, "...push to create civil and criminal penalties for knowingly disseminating false information about when and how to vote in U.S.
00:18:30.000And prior to the 2020 election, this is what she wrote on her website, "...I have already called out Facebook for permitting political candidates to run plainly false ads on its platform."
00:18:40.000By the way, also included false stories.
00:18:55.000Or do you think they wanted you to believe that it was Russian propaganda?
00:18:57.000Which, by the way, directly affected the outcome of the election.
00:19:00.000So she wants to have a direct line, and she says that she has a direct line, to call for misinformation, and they've been wrong on misinformation.
00:19:07.000We've been banned for misinformation that was then un-misinformationed on YouTube, to be clear.
00:19:12.000Yeah, well, and we knew it at the time.
00:19:14.000It wasn't like new information came to light that all of a sudden made us right.
00:19:24.000She also wrote, the safety of our democracy is more important than shareholders' dividends and CEO salaries, and we need tech companies to behave accordingly.
00:19:31.000That's why I'm calling on them to take real steps right now to fight.
00:19:35.000So she just said, they shouldn't be able to run these political campaign ads.
00:19:37.000For example, you know that you had people on the right saying, hey, the left Did this Russia collusion hoax, right?
00:19:43.000I think that was one of Ted Cruz's ads.
00:19:45.000I don't remember exactly who, but this was obviously a central point in Republican ads.
00:19:48.000They want to say, that's misinformation, even though we know verifiably that it's true.
00:19:54.000So she wants to silence political opponents.
00:19:55.000That's fine if she doesn't want anyone to run political ads.
00:20:52.000They always wanted that election to be in doubt, and then they continued with that to try and affect the election in 2020 by having one of the most important stories that involved the current political candidate, former Vice President Joe Biden's corruption with his son, the Hunter Biden laptop.
00:21:33.000What she wants is for a room of people to get together and say what is and isn't allowed arbitrarily, not based on fact, and then it's okay if one person decides, like Mark Zuckerberg or The former Twitter guy in chief, right, before he left.
00:21:46.000That's the people that she wants to be able to do it under marching orders.
00:21:49.000If they're going out there and saying, you can have a platform and you can speak freely, she's not okay with that.
00:21:54.000Why would that be the case in the United States today?
00:21:57.000Why is that even part of the conversation?
00:22:00.000Well, here's the truth, is they want, and people like Elizabeth Warren, they want Twitter to be treated differently than all of it.
00:22:06.000Here's the thing, they want all of the big tech platforms to continue as is.
00:23:20.000I mean, the White House comes out and says we're going to keep an eye on Twitter because they're practicing free speech and you guys are like, oh, we're going to have to keep an eye on Apple.
00:23:38.000Elizabeth Warren, one guy shouldn't be able to go into a room and determine how millions of people, what about a billion?
00:23:43.000What about over a billion people communicating in China via the AirDrop app to make sure that they can protest and communicate with one another?
00:24:59.000If you're talking about influence, it's not even close to Facebook.
00:25:02.000Why are they spending so much time on Twitter, which is nowhere near the size, nowhere near the user base?
00:25:09.000The cardinal sin that Elon Musk has committed is allowing conservatives on the platform.
00:25:13.000Allowing the then-sitting president, when he was removed, back on the platform just because, ah, you're gonna allow the Ayatollah and members of ISIS?
00:25:51.000Oh, hold on, oh, AOC said it, oh, Joe Biden said it, Psaki said it, Jean-Pierre said it, good enough for me!
00:25:58.000Okay, well then, if their word is Elon Musk's word, who doesn't have a dog in the fight politically aside from allowing all voices to speak, why don't you give him the same credence?
00:26:08.000I am not asking, I would be furious if Elon sort of just removing leftists, for no reason, just to be clear.
00:26:13.000If that starts happening, I will speak out against it.
00:30:37.000When we talked about it yesterday, I did say there are some things that we can't confirm.
00:30:41.000There are some things that we can confirm.
00:30:42.000We were able to confirm that Apple had been pulling some advertising, but we weren't able to confirm that Tim Pool threatened to pull Twitter.
00:30:50.000Tim Pool doesn't have that kind of power.
00:30:51.000Tim Pool, that man did a hit job, huh?
00:30:55.000He asked me a question in an interview.
00:30:57.000Actually, no, I asked him a question when he tried to answer I said don't answer me cuz I'm ye and then I left He asked Tim Pool a question!
00:32:30.000I don't think that Tim Cook couldn't have sent a tweet basically saying, not true, or maybe a direct message, or picked up the phone and said this.
00:32:38.000I don't think it took a sit down to come to, oh yeah, that was never actually going to happen.
00:34:30.000You mean that none of them could have stepped them down?
00:34:33.000They're all creating other platforms and then selling them to other people and charging service fees.
00:34:38.000Where are the conservatives with the money?
00:34:39.000The people who say this is their reason, they're charging the hill.
00:34:42.000Why is it Elon, who has been a lifelong Democrat, who now is fed up with it?
00:34:46.000That is a story that I think we're missing here because we've had politicians on this show, we've called them to the mat and we've said, look, demand that I go to a hearing.
00:35:04.000Elon is actually unloading, and I know it's not a clip, it's a magazine, and I mean figuratively, On the people who are trying to silence any voices of dissent.
00:35:13.000He is going after the kings and the kingmakers.
00:35:15.000Where are all the conservatives with the power and the money?
00:35:18.000You can't negotiate from a position of weakness.
00:35:51.000That's been his thing the entire time.
00:35:52.000He wants to change how people interact, whether it be in commerce, whether it be in speech, whether it be in cars, whether it be going to Mars, whether it be Neuralink to try to help people.
00:36:21.000The obvious reality, as longtime users know, is that Twitter has failed in trust and safety for a very long time and has interfered in elections.
00:36:29.000Elon Musk just said that Twitter has interfered based on what he has seen.
00:36:34.000I think there's just something else important, though, what he said.
00:36:36.000And keep in mind, too, even if you just believe that these people are being manipulated by purse strings, if you believe that, oh, they're only being subject to market forces, there's some truth to that.
00:36:46.000It's why, by the way, for example, I have a lot of hope for a company like Rumble.
00:36:50.000I understand that they're public companies and people say, well, what happens when the shareholders demand that they start censoring content?
00:36:56.000If Rumble decides to start censoring content, they're of no value to their shareholders because they said screw you to the entire government of France and they're the alternative to YouTube.
00:37:03.000So it sort of is a beautiful Safety check, right?
00:37:07.000They're only as valuable as the freedom that they provide for content creators who want to leave the ghettos of YouTube.
00:37:12.000That's a very good thing, and of course there are people who work at Rumble who we also know truly do believe in the cause and they've been transparent and helpful.
00:37:19.000Could have had the servers a little more robust on election night, but you know what?
00:37:34.000So in other words, Twitter is only valuable if the user base, that's their capital, holds Elon Musk accountable to his, right there, mission statement.
00:37:44.000His mission statement is, Twitter 2.0 will be, now this is, hey, how am I going to effectively
00:38:46.000So what I hope to see, though, too, is that he releases the information that he's talked about releasing, too.
00:38:50.000He has said in the past that he is going to release information about the back, behind-the-scenes communications between the White House and Twitter and everybody else.
00:38:59.000So what do you expect, I guess, is what I want to know.
00:39:01.000Like, the viewer, Steven, you guys, like, do you expect it to be this, like, I want to hear Dave first, because I have some information that you can tell me when to shut up, because you know, with the half-Asian lawyer bill.
00:39:13.000Like, if he's got access to everything that's happened now that he owns the company and he's saying election tampering and everything else, obviously he has some intel.
00:40:12.000At the time I was on Fox News and a lot of people weren't online.
00:40:15.000They would see me on Fox News, but they wouldn't give me the plugs.
00:40:18.000So I said, you know, I'd like to kind of, you know, target people who might see me on television and give them the opportunity to follow me.
00:40:41.000And they said, yeah, you know, things like, create a set of three or four or five tweets, and what'll happen is it'll show up in someone's timeline when you pay, and it'll offer these people to follow you.
00:43:23.000And by the way, boomers, older people right now who are likely going to retire, you can't just discount this because you are part of a generation that enjoyed some prosperity that won't exist before or after.
00:43:35.000Just to be clear, the baby boom generation.
00:43:37.000And you do need to understand that Social Security is a Ponzi scheme and at some point someone's going to be screwed.
00:43:42.000So when you talk to young people, you say, oh I played into Social Security, so were they!
00:43:45.000They're probably not going to get it back.
00:44:02.000Do you have it harder than The boomers.
00:44:06.000And one thing I think conservatives get wrong, you can let me know if you disagree with me here, I think sometimes a disconnect takes place when you have conservatives saying, yeah, well, your parents didn't have, and they name iPhone, lattes, luxuries.
00:44:17.000Let's not compare necessities like home cost or, um, you know, how much you make at a job or a vehicle.
00:44:40.000So this is something that you'll see a lot from, like, baby boomers will say, like, well, why don't you, you know, why haven't you started a family?
00:45:18.000All right, so my question to you, before I continue, is do you feel like it is out of reach?
00:45:22.000The American Dream, if you are younger.
00:45:23.000Okay, let me be really clear about this.
00:45:25.000I'm trying to give you as close to an apples-to-apples comparison as I can.
00:45:29.000All of the numbers that you hear, the dollar amounts have been adjusted for inflation, so are in today's dollars, so you don't have to do the math.
00:45:35.000Just to be clear, because I can hear that criticism before you make it, references are available at lightearthcutter.com.
00:50:32.000What about 1,300-square-foot house-to-1,300-square-foot house?
00:50:35.000We need to do the apples-to-apples comparison if we're going to do dollars with the size and with the amenities, with the capabilities that come with it.
00:50:42.000Again, how many people out there Who are poor, who live in Texas or Florida, driving a car today without air conditioning.
00:50:52.000No, no, and just don't skip over this power steering.
00:50:54.000You don't have to be Liver King to actually turn a car now, right?
00:50:57.000If you've ever driven a car without power steering.
00:51:00.000We had bigger forearms back then for a reason.
00:51:02.000Yeah, it was pretty much impossible to turn.
00:51:05.000Yeah, just, and also even shifting back then, it was quite a task.
00:56:02.000Or, you have a button with one spout that goes from ice to water.
00:56:06.000The engineers decided that in this one they were going to have the ice button recessed into the fridge and then the water button in front of it.
00:56:51.000Like, it was for people on Ecstasy listening to techno music, and they even had a commercial for it, and I was like, is Ecstasy so popular that we're actually just making it into cars now?
00:57:01.000Like, somebody's like, is it the Pacifier just at Ford?
00:58:33.000But let's compare university versus a trade school.
00:58:36.000Cost on average for trade school is somewhere around $5,000 to complete.
00:58:42.000And if you look at people who graduate from trade school, unlike people who have a master's in gender studies, starting salaries, depending on the trade, they can begin at $80,000.
00:58:52.000So let's go through this in a conclusion.
00:58:55.000Sure, are houses more expensive in general?
00:59:07.000But that doesn't have to be the American dream, because you can now live in a more rural area, or a suburban area, or you can live in a condo, which was not an option available to people in the 1960s.
00:59:17.000You can pay the same amount as your parents, have modern amenities, you know, like air conditioning, locks.
00:59:22.000You can drive a car, a used car, an economy car, for cheaper than your parents.
00:59:25.000You can go to trade school and make more money than your parents could have ever dreamed of making.
00:59:32.000That is an option that is available to you right now.
00:59:36.000You just have to go out and take it and not think that, for example, a Ford Focus or a Subaru Outback or, for example, being an electrician is beneath you because that's what you're missing.
00:59:47.000Your parents didn't think that it was beneath them.
00:59:50.000Yeah, they made this and they got to go on vacation.
00:59:52.000Your dad was working on a factory line, just to be clear.
00:59:57.000You want to work in an office, and by the way, you don't think that you should have to go into the office because you were raised during a pandemic.
01:00:03.000That was, well, I shouldn't say you were raised.
01:00:04.000You were raised during government policies thrust upon you under the guise of a pandemic where you think you can show up to work maybe twice a month and make that kind of a full-time salary.
01:00:13.000You have far more choice available to you.
01:00:16.000That's why the left is so aggressive in pushing the lie.
01:00:19.000They need you to believe the lie so that you are dependent upon them.
01:00:24.000Because hey, if you believe school is out of reach, a car is out of reach, a house is out of reach, every government policy will be accepted with open arms.
01:00:32.000When you understand the options that you have, guess what?
01:00:36.000Congratulations, you've now just turned into a registered Republican, or at the very least a conservative.
01:00:40.000You don't need an R next to your name.
01:00:43.000I'd like to hear your choices that you have made.
01:00:45.000If you're a millennial, if you're Generation Z. I really wanted to recap this because we hear, look, this is the one sort of show on the right where a lot of you, the average viewers, I think 28 years old, 31 years old, you know, we're not selling, we don't, I mean, we have G. Gordon Liddy waiting in the wings.
01:01:26.000That's one of the biggest problems is that kids right now see the success of their parents and they go, ooh, I want all of that right now.
01:01:32.000Whereas their parents were, at least maybe not this previous generation Gen Z, but the baby boomers were like, I'm going to work for it and get it over time.
01:01:39.000I'm going to make smart decisions throughout my life.
01:01:53.000They went and did everything that they were supposed to do, and then said, we are entitled to this, and the entitlement carried over to the next generation, the 70s kids, and they said, we are entitled to this, the government... Well, that's baby boomers.
01:02:04.000You're talking about the great generations when we fought World War II.
01:02:07.000Well, I was saying, maybe World War II and then the Korean War and, you know... Yeah, yeah, yeah, but that wasn't, that largely wasn't boomers.
01:02:11.000The Great War, the Great War... You're a little off on your timeline, but the principle remains.
01:02:14.000Some of them are good, some of them are pricks.
01:03:03.000It means it screws the person who is not a landlord, who is a home provider who has to make those payments.
01:03:11.000If you keep buying into the lie, think of this for a second.
01:03:14.000We've talked about wealth transfers, okay, with COVID.
01:03:17.000Private wealth transfers to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars when you're talking about, you know, Amazon and Apple during the pandemic because mom-and-pop shops were closed.
01:03:23.000What kind of a wealth transfer do you think happens if you buy into all these lies and you say, yeah, yeah, no, I don't even go to trade school and, you know, work a job myself.
01:03:31.000What I need is student loan forgiveness.
01:03:33.000The government just to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars decides, hey, we're now going to give this to universities.
01:04:11.000The problem is when you see socialists and people like Bernie Sanders saying it's a wealth transfer from the 1% as though it's taking place because of a voluntary exchange of goods and services.
01:04:20.000The wealth transfer that is taking place is always by force, from locking you down and
01:04:27.000shutting down your business but keeping Costco and Walmart and Amazon open, to saying, hey,
01:04:32.000you know what, independent landlords, home providers, we're going to keep you on the
01:04:36.000hook and everyone else who's a non-contributing zero, we're going to make sure you don't have
01:04:39.000to pay rent, to kids who want to waste time with four years of glorified alcoholism saying,
01:04:44.000hey, you know what, we're actually going to take from the pockets of the people who went
01:04:46.000to trade school and are paying taxes and make sure that you pay for the student loan forgiveness
01:04:50.000for this person who won't be able to find a job anyway.
01:04:53.000The wealth transfers aren't just taking, they're not taking place from the capitalist system, man.
01:04:57.000They're taking place before your very eyes and they're presented to you as a gift.
01:05:06.000Has the gift made college more affordable?
01:05:09.000You have to ask yourself that, and then gratefully look at the options before you, and yes, make better choices despite the fact that it's a more complicated world.
01:05:18.000All right, we're going to chat Thursday.
01:05:19.000We will see you in New Jersey and Baltimore this week, and we're going to talk about the U.S.
