Transcript

00:00:02.000 We searched for the best home cooks at Lauda with Crowder.
00:00:06.000 And now, in our season finale, I, Chef Morton Pansy, will decide who will be Chef Master.
00:00:15.000 Gerald, what have you brought me?
00:00:17.000 Thank you, Chef.
00:00:18.000 I've brought you a parmesan-encrusted cod with heirloom tomatoes, sauteed spinach, and the finest angel hair pasta.
00:00:29.000 Wow.
00:00:30.000 Absolutely amazing that you've managed to make it this far into the competition.
00:00:36.000 You should have won already.
00:00:38.000 The prize for worst f***ing cook ever!
00:00:41.000 I wouldn't feed this to my dog let alone take another bite myself!
00:00:48.000 Disgusting!
00:00:49.000 Absolutely f***ing crass!
00:00:54.000 Spinnigan, what have you brought me?
00:00:57.000 It's a batch of my patience-inspired spaghetti.
00:01:00.000 Very well.
00:01:01.000 The problem with this dish...
00:01:15.000 is that I want more.
00:01:19.000 In fact, I'll have some more.
00:01:24.000 Amazing.
00:01:25.000 Truly.
00:01:26.000 You know what's so good about this?
00:01:28.000 If my own mum was here, I'd push her down the stairs, yeah?
00:01:32.000 Just so I can get more of this.
00:01:33.000 Where can I get more?
00:01:34.000 Just go to prepwithcrowder.com.
00:01:37.000 Save 50 bucks.
00:01:39.000 Oh, s***!
00:01:40.000 I forgot you were here!
00:01:41.000 Anyways, let's see who won.
00:01:43.000 Gerald, step forward.
00:01:47.000 Your journey at Chefmaster is finished.
00:01:51.000 Please, take off your apron.
00:01:52.000 and get into the viper pit.
00:01:54.000 My Patriot Supply is the number one provider of shelf-stable emergency food kits.
00:01:58.000 Go to Preppercrowder.com to get $50 off your four-week emergency food kit.
00:02:02.000 Oh, awesome. I actually was the one who declared that they did a bad deal.
00:02:25.000 Oh, awesome. Thank you.
00:02:50.000 I'm going to get some more.
00:03:18.000 Hey, good news.
00:03:21.000 Ask and you shall receive.
00:03:23.000 You can now listen to Nikki Haley's show live on Sirius XM.
00:03:27.000 What?
00:03:31.000 But no one had a lot to get to today.
00:03:37.000 We're going to be discussing the big three today, okay?
00:03:40.000 Issues that get people really upset.
00:03:42.000 Abortion, weed, and the n-word.
00:03:45.000 You can bring that up there on the rundown.
00:03:48.000 N-words?
00:03:48.000 It's a tale of two Freudian slips.
00:03:49.000 As a matter of fact, we're leading with it.
00:03:50.000 You should be familiar.
00:03:52.000 We also have Scott Pressler on the show.
00:03:55.000 He's doing a lot for voter registration.
00:03:55.000 He's going to be on the show.
00:03:58.000 I've seen him around for a while and he's really kind of carved out a spot for himself and seems to be doing some really good work.
00:04:04.000 Also, there's some fallout with the Trump, uh, well, alleged or apparent assassination or claimed assassination attempt.
00:04:04.000 Very good work, yes.
00:04:11.000 See, that's what the media is trying to do right now.
00:04:12.000 They're trying to memory hole this and we're not going to allow them to do it.

00:04:18.000 You can click the link in the description.
00:04:19.000 I warn you, I'm not in the best of moods today because of these topics.
00:04:24.000 Please, the people who, and by the way, I'm not saying that everyone who uses cannabis is a pothead, but you know who you are.
00:04:33.000 Just wait a minute before you start commenting.
00:04:38.000 Okay?
00:04:39.000 Can you do that?
00:04:40.000 Please, comment below.
00:04:41.000 I know you've waked and baked, but can you comment below?
00:04:44.000 Just a little bit.
00:04:44.000 Well, they should be, you know, toned down.
00:04:46.000 If they've waked and baked, then maybe they're calm enough to comment.
00:04:48.000 Yeah.
00:04:49.000 Is it woke and broke?
00:04:50.000 Is that woke and broke?
00:04:51.000 Woke and broke?
00:04:51.000 What?
00:04:52.000 Woke and broke.
00:04:52.000 I don't think so.
00:04:55.000 Anyway.
00:04:56.000 Captain Morgan, number two.
00:04:57.000 How are you, sir?
00:04:58.000 Doing well.
00:04:59.000 How are you?
00:05:00.000 I'm good.
00:05:01.000 Oh, by the way, if at some point today, you know, this is a week, this is a show, weekdays.
00:05:05.000 By the way, Nikki Haley, Wednesdays at 8 a.m.
00:05:09.000 This is weekdays 10 a.m.
00:05:11.000 Eastern, and if at some point on YouTube you see this, just head on over to Rumble.
00:05:17.000 Nikki Haley live, Wednesdays at 8.
00:05:19.000 Dude, best plugs he's gonna get.
00:05:21.000 On SiriusXM.
00:05:22.000 A lot of China praise, I'm not going to lie.
00:05:26.000 The dishes, of course.
00:05:28.000 And you can actually go see him at Film Alley in Terrell, Texas, September 20th.
00:05:32.000 It is the wonderful Josh Feierstein.
00:05:35.000 I'm good.
00:05:35.000 How are you, sir?
00:05:36.000 I'm high as hell.
00:05:38.000 You know, I woke and boke.
00:05:39.000 You woke and boke.
00:05:40.000 No, that's not true.
00:05:42.000 We're going to get to all of it, but first...
00:05:44.000 The internet, uh, really, every now and then you get, you just have, you get, you get some, it's a gift from the internet gods.
00:05:50.000 It is.
00:05:50.000 Yes.
00:05:51.000 You know what a Freudian slip is, right?
00:05:53.000 For those of you who don't, well, I don't care, I assume that you do.
00:05:56.000 So, this one... This isn't for you.
00:06:00.000 Look, you can comment.
00:06:02.000 This has gone everywhere.
00:06:03.000 We have differing opinions.
00:06:05.000 This created a schism in the office.
00:06:08.000 The National Review Editor, uh, his name is, uh, I guess he's the Editor-in-Chief.
00:06:12.000 I don't know.
00:06:12.000 Is he Editor-in-Chief?
00:06:13.000 Editor-in-Chief?
00:06:14.000 Editor-in-Chief.
00:06:16.000 Rich Lowry had a Freudian... I don't know if you would just say Freudian slip on Megyn Kelly's show.
00:06:23.000 He just came out and and said the word and it's...
00:06:29.000 We have the non-bleak version, right, Toolman?
00:06:31.000 Yes.
00:06:32.000 It's pretty hard to explain- Now, I'm not going to attack- Hold on, before we run.
00:06:36.000 Yeah, set it up.
00:06:37.000 Before you actually have the N-Bomb dropped on your show with a hard R, I feel like it does need context.
00:06:42.000 Maybe the N-Bomb?
00:06:46.000 I think people know at this point.
00:06:48.000 I am not going to attack the guy.
00:06:51.000 I don't think there's any hate in his heart.
00:06:53.000 I don't think he meant to go out and say something racist.
00:06:56.000 All of that said, It's a rough go for Rich Lowry.
00:07:01.000 I loved, I think it was in that interview where Dana Bash says, you know, the police have gone through 11 months of recordings of calls and they've only found two Springfield residents calling to complain about Haitian migrants.
00:07:17.000 Just keep that train rolling, dude.
00:07:21.000 Don't say the n-word, don't say the n-word, don't say the n-word.
00:07:25.000 I knew this would happen!
00:07:28.000 So, it's an accident.
00:07:31.000 Okay.
00:07:31.000 Mm-hmm.
00:07:33.000 Mistakes happen.
00:07:33.000 Time to change your name.
00:07:34.000 It's your worst nightmare.
00:07:38.000 But he then responded to it and his comment was, I began to mispronounce the word migrants and caught myself halfway through.
00:07:47.000 Here's the thing.
00:07:49.000 Migrant And then, of course, completed with the grrr, migrrr.
00:07:55.000 If he was saying, like, if there was a word out there like migrrr, maybe.
00:07:59.000 Yes.
00:08:00.000 Or if he was trying to talk about the awful lawn pest chiggers, which, of course, that would make sense.
00:08:04.000 You'd be like, okay, you're nervous because you're going into it.
00:08:06.000 If people aren't familiar with it, they rhyme.
00:08:09.000 Migrant.
00:08:12.000 I just, I don't know how it comes out that way.
00:08:17.000 I mean, is it possible?
00:08:19.000 Maybe.
00:08:20.000 Again, I'm not saying that he's a racist.
00:08:22.000 No, of course not.
00:08:22.000 What I am saying is that he would be better off to be like, Ha ha!
00:08:25.000 You know, I said it.
00:08:26.000 I lost to Tupac right before I did the interview.
00:08:29.000 I don't know what you want me to say.
00:08:29.000 My bad.
00:08:30.000 You know, I said it, and it sucks.
00:08:36.000 That's it.
00:08:37.000 There's not much you can do with that.
00:08:39.000 Do you think, did you buy that?
00:08:40.000 He mispronounced something?
00:08:41.000 No, no, because you gotta, people were, he wanted to get, he wanted to act like that never happened.
00:08:47.000 Because people would cover it all the time.
00:08:48.000 There's that Reds broadcaster that said gay city, gay capital of the world or whatever on air on accident.
00:08:52.000 Yeah.
00:08:53.000 And then he came back and he's like, I will not be on this microphone the next inning and drive to left field.
00:08:58.000 Like he just, he addressed it.
00:09:00.000 He will address it.
00:09:01.000 You don't, just keep going.
00:09:02.000 So that one's funny.
00:09:04.000 Yes.
00:09:05.000 And by the way, yeah, I know he's a little white guy, and you're going to do a lot of that because I'll be talking about abortion today.
00:09:09.000 So you're going to say, oh, I'm a little white male.
00:09:10.000 Yep, yep.
00:09:12.000 So, relatively harmless.
00:09:12.000 Guilty.
00:09:15.000 Let's just say it's harmless.
00:09:15.000 He didn't say it with any hate.
00:09:17.000 It's a word.
00:09:17.000 It's syllables that are uttered.
00:09:20.000 That's all it is.
00:09:21.000 That's what we're talking about here.
00:09:22.000 It's the intent behind it.
00:09:24.000 I don't believe there was any ill intent.
00:09:25.000 That being said, I know you're going to say this is a double standard.
00:09:29.000 It's not.
00:09:29.000 I'm okay with it.
00:09:31.000 A 2023 video of the U.S.
00:09:33.000 Virgin Islands representative Stacey Plaskett has resurfaced, and looking back at this one though, I don't know if it was just kind of a mispronunciation so much as, you know, revealed through the mouth what dwells in her heart.
00:09:48.000 Having Trump not only have had the codes but now having the classified information for Americans and being able to put that out and share it in his resort with anyone and everyone who comes through should be terrifying to all Americans and he needs to be shot.
00:10:06.000 That's tough coming from a lady dressed like the parachute we played with in the schoolyard.
00:10:15.000 What's that game called?
00:10:20.000 I don't know, it's just parachute.
00:10:21.000 Parachute?
00:10:23.000 So he should be shot.
00:10:25.000 Stopped.
00:10:26.000 I meant stopped.
00:10:27.000 I totally think shot, but stopped is what I meant to say.
00:10:31.000 Well it happens to the best of us, you know it doesn't.
00:10:33.000 I don't think it does.
00:10:33.000 Yeah, it does happen to me last night.
00:10:35.000 Hmm?
00:10:36.000 Hey!
00:10:37.000 So, I'm going to be a teacher.
00:10:38.000 I'm going to be a teacher.
00:10:44.000 See you later, Tim.
00:10:44.000 Okay, love you.
00:10:47.000 Oh.
00:10:47.000 Oh, hey, Josh.
00:10:47.000 Yeah, uh... Hey, Tim.
00:10:48.000 Oh, hey Josh.
00:11:03.000 Oh.
00:11:04.000 Yeah, uh, hey Tim.
00:11:09.000 See ya.
00:11:14.000 Yeah, that's not a, that's not a Freudian slip.
00:11:22.000 I think you're gay.
00:11:22.000 Yeah.
00:11:24.000 No.
00:11:25.000 Gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay.
00:11:27.000 It's fine.
00:11:28.000 Well, that settles it.
00:11:29.000 Jim's gay, too!
00:11:31.000 It's fine.
00:11:32.000 I love you just the same because you're my friend.
00:11:36.000 Close one.
00:11:37.000 It's so close to friend.
00:11:39.000 My, my friend.
00:11:40.000 I'm not even going to try to say.
00:11:41.000 We're not neighbors.
00:11:46.000 This is the perfect time for a plug as any.
00:11:50.000 $50 off a four-week emergency food kit.
00:11:52.000 Just go to prepwithcrowder.com.
00:11:54.000 These people are a great company.
00:11:55.000 You don't have to be a doomsday prepper to understand that if it's an earthquake, if it's an ice storm, you know, your power goes out, you should have some water, a way to cook food, and enough of a food supply for a few months.
00:12:06.000 Everyone should have it.
00:12:08.000 I wish I had it in the Montreal ice storm because family members died.
00:12:11.000 What's the promo code?
00:12:11.000 Okay.
00:12:13.000 Huh?
00:12:14.000 What's the promo code?
00:12:15.000 Is there a promo code?
00:12:17.000 I don't think there is.
00:12:18.000 I think you just go to crablycrowder.com.
00:12:19.000 Crablycrowder.com?
00:12:20.000 Good.
00:12:20.000 Gerald, it's not a time for laughing.
00:12:22.000 I had people die in the ice storm in Montreal.
00:12:24.000 You did?
00:12:25.000 Yeah.
00:12:26.000 Not you.
00:12:26.000 Family.
00:12:27.000 Well, he was there.
00:12:28.000 You had family die?
00:12:28.000 I was there.
00:12:30.000 Yeah.
00:12:30.000 I fact-checked that.
00:12:31.000 That's not true.
00:12:32.000 You don't know.
00:12:32.000 What a heartbreaker.
00:12:34.000 I remember that, it was your uncle, wasn't it?
00:12:35.000 It wasn't!
00:12:36.000 Yeah, it was on your mom's side.
00:12:37.000 I remember, you told me about that.
00:12:38.000 I've known you for years, I've never heard this story.
00:12:39.000 It was tragic, and Gerald's just laughing it off, man.
00:12:41.000 Not on my mom's side, he died on my mom.
00:12:44.000 First you lose the X-Bows, then you're... She was trying to drag him to safety.
00:12:47.000 Also, and then he died, also that Gerald could have a laugh?
00:12:47.000 Oh, really?
00:12:50.000 Geez.
00:12:51.000 None of this ever happened.
00:12:53.000 Yeah.
00:12:53.000 Go, go, uh, go, uh, guffaw to Schindler's List.
00:12:56.000 All right.
00:12:57.000 So...
00:12:58.000 Nice word.
00:12:59.000 Uh, look, we have to venture into this here because this is making the rounds.
00:13:05.000 Dave Portnoy of Barstool Sports makes a lot of good points sometimes, and I understand the point that he's making here.
00:13:10.000 So please, look, people, comment below if you think that we are at the point now where we can have a reasonable discussion, an actual conversation surrounding marijuana laws, the ramifications, as, by the way, we have about alcohol.
00:13:24.000 Yes, of course.
00:13:24.000 The age of purchasing alcohol.
00:13:26.000 The effects.
00:13:27.000 The legal limit.
00:13:28.000 The effects.
00:13:28.000 I think they were at that point because at one point no one was allowed to use it and we were too far one direction.
00:13:34.000 But now I think some new data has come in and if people are going to be making their own decisions, as you should, I just think it's time to start making perhaps a little more informed decisions.
00:13:45.000 So this is the founder of Barstool Sports, Dave Portnoy.
00:13:47.000 He put out this video pleading with Floridians to, you know, legalize all marijuana.
00:13:56.000 Listen, it's Sunday afternoon, football on TV, pizza on the way, in Massachusetts, smoking a little weed, just enjoying my day.
00:14:11.000 Florida, you can't do this.
00:14:13.000 In my Miami house, you can't do this.
00:14:15.000 Why?
00:14:16.000 Freedom.
00:14:17.000 It's about freedom.
00:14:18.000 Half the states allow this.
00:14:20.000 Legal marijuana.
00:14:21.000 Florida.
00:14:23.000 I want to be able to watch football, eat pizza, and smoke.
00:14:27.000 We're all adults here.
00:14:28.000 21 plus.
00:14:29.000 Make your own decisions.
00:14:31.000 It's on the ballot.
00:14:32.000 Vote yes on three.
00:14:33.000 Legalize recreational weed.
00:14:36.000 Come on.
00:14:36.000 Where are we, Florida?
00:14:39.000 Wake up!
00:14:40.000 Wake up!
00:14:42.000 Don't tell what other people what to do in their own house.
00:14:45.000 We're grown adults.
00:14:46.000 It's safe.
00:14:47.000 It's legal.
00:14:47.000 Over half the states in the country have it.
00:14:50.000 Why don't we in Florida?
00:14:51.000 I'm a Florida resident.
00:14:53.000 I want to be able to smoke in my house, watching football, eating pizza like a human.
00:14:57.000 I can do it in Massachusetts.
00:14:58.000 Make it legal on ballot day.
00:15:01.000 Vote yes on three in Florida.
00:15:03.000 Thank you.
00:15:07.000 Well, on the plus side, he looks really cool.
00:15:09.000 He does look really cool, and it's a fun accent.
00:15:12.000 In anticipation, by the way, Disney is developing a new park called Cush Kingdom, but it's not worked out great.
00:15:18.000 Oh, that's... Wow.
00:15:19.000 It'll show up late.
00:15:21.000 Heck yeah.
00:15:21.000 Yeah.
00:15:22.000 Yes.
00:15:24.000 Fantasia's quite popular there.
00:15:25.000 Now, okay, there's quite a bit to unpack there.
00:15:31.000 Yes, I think you need to be able to make your own decisions.
00:15:33.000 I agree with that.
00:15:34.000 I do not believe that anyone should be arrested simply for having marijuana, and I think that states have the right to legalize weed.
00:15:40.000 And by the way, I also think that there are some therapeutic and medicinal uses for it in limited contexts.
00:15:45.000 Or, I should say, in certain contexts where it's been studied adequately.
00:15:50.000 Yeah, I also think that there are a bunch of lofty claims that aren't accurate.
00:15:52.000 And I think if people are going to be making decisions, not everyone is making a decision simply based on liberty.
00:15:58.000 I think it's a valid argument.
00:16:00.000 But a lot of people are going to be making their decisions based on the results.
00:16:04.000 So let's get to some of the claims that you often run into.
00:16:08.000 Well, really, whether they're true or there's maybe a little bit of a gray area, okay?
00:16:11.000 Claim that you hear a lot.
00:16:13.000 And this is a big one, and I've been hearing this, right, when we were growing up, of course, weed was not legal.
00:16:17.000 And everyone's going, well, man, if you just legalize it and you just tax it, then you're just leaving a bunch of... And it's the only time that the left really all of a sudden like...
00:16:25.000 They care about liberty, and then they're like, we can tax it.
00:16:28.000 Tax it, yeah.
00:16:28.000 Brings in a bunch of tax revenue.
00:16:30.000 Let me just first off front with this.
00:16:32.000 Brings in tax revenue, reduces crime, lowers the use of other drugs.
00:16:36.000 What's the other one that we hear?
00:16:38.000 Oh, it'll put drug lords out of business.
00:16:41.000 These were the arguments that were often used.
00:16:43.000 First one is that it brings in huge tax revenue.
00:16:45.000 Legalizing marijuana has already created thousands of full-time jobs, and it's raised hundreds of millions of dollars in tax revenue, a lot of which has gone toward public schools.
00:16:54.000 So you see, kids, drugs are cool.
00:16:56.000 Yeah.
00:16:58.000 Now the truth, and by the way, if we follow that line of logic, and I know some libertarians will actually say, yeah, we should do that, you can increase tax revenue if you just legalize and tax anything.
00:17:08.000 I mean, then you can, why not heroin?
00:17:10.000 Why not prostitution?
00:17:12.000 Right.
00:17:12.000 I mean, let's just, some people say fine, some people say fine, I understand it, but not everyone will feel that way, so we need to be transparent about where the conversation is taking place.
00:17:22.000 The truth is, yeah, Yeah, it's increased tax revenue.
00:17:25.000 So, in 2022, states that were taxing marijuana collected a total of around $2.9 billion in revenue.
00:17:32.000 Here's the thing though, 40% of that revenue was offset by reductions in alcohol and tobacco tax revenue.
00:17:38.000 And here's something that people don't tell you, the increased net costs in a lot of ways.
00:17:43.000 It's hard because a lot of people don't have these numbers directly side by side.
00:17:47.000 But for example, in Portugal, where they legalized all drugs, you just ended up spending more money on public rehabilitation programs, on re-education programs, on, you know, sorry, just education programs.
00:17:57.000 on letting people know how they could responsibly handle drugs.
00:18:00.000 They had a significant number of overdoses. They had to deal with costs
00:18:04.000 with pollution as far as, you know, drugs and trash being left in the streets.
00:18:09.000 And you also have here in the United States some increased costs. For example,
00:18:11.000 substance use disorders. It's been up about 17 percent since legalization.
00:18:18.000 Okay?
00:18:19.000 17%.
00:18:19.000 Now I'm not saying there is a direct correlation, just to be clear.
00:18:23.000 Or sorry, I'm not saying there's a direct cause, causal link.
00:18:26.000 Chronic homelessness?
00:18:28.000 It's up 35% since legalization.
00:18:30.000 You can look to places not only like Seattle, but you can look to a lot of these cities where the idea that it becomes utopia and young professionals simply smoking weed to relax at the end of the day, which I have no problem with, That's not the end result.
00:18:43.000 And genuinely, I'd like you to comment below, if you're in a place where you've seen the before and after, if you would do it again, or if you're happy with the results, or if you feel as though you've been maybe sold a false bill of goods.
00:18:54.000 I know a lot of people feel that way.
00:18:56.000 Yeah, I was in Denver, just the one anecdotal experience I had, and one of the points we'll get to is like, this just smells terrible.
00:19:03.000 A lot of people complain about that.
00:19:04.000 They do complain about that.
00:19:05.000 Yeah, Dave Portnoy was smoking in his house?
00:19:07.000 He's fine.
00:19:08.000 I think that's fine, but I think a lot of people would say, okay, well, if you're going to legalize it and do these things, one, don't make a lot of claims that aren't absolutely true.
00:19:15.000 Just say that you want to go and get high.
00:19:17.000 Fine.
00:19:17.000 I understand that.
00:19:18.000 Go for it.
00:19:18.000 I think there's some debate you can have there.
00:19:20.000 But two, put some regulations on it so that it's not around kids.
00:19:23.000 Because in Denver, it could be.
00:19:24.000 You could be smoking right next to a family if you wanted to.
00:19:27.000 There are other rules around smoking, just cigarettes, That would kind of lead the way on, okay, how do we kind of keep this away from certain groups of people that are in a restaurant or things like that.
00:19:35.000 There's some easy rules you can put in place.
00:19:37.000 Yeah, there are absolutely some easy rules that you can put in place.
00:19:39.000 And by the way, in Florida, it's the same thing as Texas.
00:19:41.000 He could easily go get a can of not just Delta 8, Delta 9 THC.
00:19:45.000 He could easily get a vape.
00:19:46.000 And at this point, in a lot of these places that don't have marijuana dispensaries, as long as it's under 0.3% THC, sorry, Delta 9 THC by dry weight, That's why you can buy gummies from Cheech and Chong across the country.
00:20:00.000 It's legal to purchase anywhere across the country now, or at least I believe pretty much anywhere.
00:20:04.000 There might be a couple states that have basically unenforceable rules against it, but in Florida you can go into a shop and you can still get marijuana right now that would be multiple times more potent than what your parents smoked at Woodstock.
00:20:17.000 It's just not a thing.
00:20:18.000 I just don't understand why it's still a thing.
00:20:19.000 I don't understand why it's still a cause du jour for some people.
00:20:23.000 You can take it.
00:20:24.000 Fine.
00:20:25.000 The issue, the only issue that I've always had is when you tell people that it is without consequences.
00:20:32.000 For example, you have people who argue that they should be able to drive high.
00:20:35.000 I disagree.
00:20:36.000 You can comment below.
00:20:37.000 I don't believe that it is conducive towards effective defensive driving, as you probably learned at driving school.
00:20:43.000 What if you're a nervous driver and you really just need to calm down to be good?
00:20:46.000 Well, that's another thing.
00:20:46.000 A lot of people say it calms my nerves, and there's strong evidence to show that it actually makes anxiety disorders worse.
00:20:51.000 Really?
00:20:52.000 Yes!
00:20:52.000 Long term.
00:20:52.000 Come on!
00:20:53.000 Because you can't deal with your emotions, man.
00:20:55.000 Well, that's a big part of it.
00:20:56.000 I know people say alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol.
00:20:59.000 Sure, I understand it, but here is the big difference.
00:21:02.000 And please tell me if you understand this, I'm going to treat you like an adult.
00:21:07.000 Um, alcohol has been, and certainly in Western civilization, has been around for a very long time.
00:21:12.000 Prohibition was the exact opposite of what we're doing right now.
00:21:15.000 Basically, you had a few people, largely women, who just got the vote, who decided, lips that touch liquor will never touch ours.
00:21:21.000 Oh no!
00:21:22.000 Have you seen pictures of ladies back then?
00:21:23.000 You could smell them from here.
00:21:26.000 Wait them out!
00:21:27.000 Like, oh no!
00:21:29.000 Oh, you mean I don't get to put a peck on that dead tooth?
00:21:33.000 Oh man, syphilis is gonna have to wait!
00:21:36.000 Dang.
00:21:37.000 But they took something people engaged in, a majority of society drank, and tried to ban it.
00:21:42.000 That's very different than taking a substance that a small percentage of the population use, marijuana, THC, and then pushing for everyone to view it as harmless.
00:21:54.000 Alcohol was never viewed as harmless, and we didn't tell kids to go out and binge drink.
00:21:58.000 We never did.
00:21:59.000 The issue is that in trying to get something legalized, I do think That a lot of people have been fundamentally dishonest.
00:22:05.000 I mean, you can see billboards.
00:22:06.000 Wake and bake.
00:22:07.000 No one has ever told children or sent the message, hey, wake up and drink.
00:22:11.000 We've effectively treated marijuana like an R-rated movie.
00:22:14.000 Like, it's fine.
00:22:15.000 It's just something adults do.
00:22:15.000 There's nothing wrong with it.
00:22:17.000 Wake and bake.
00:22:18.000 That's very different.
00:22:19.000 The difference is alcohol was always treated as something that could be abused and could be harmful.
00:22:23.000 Yeah.
00:22:24.000 We sold marijuana to people as though it is Consequence-free.
00:22:28.000 I remember that as a kid.
00:22:28.000 It's healthful.
00:22:29.000 People went, it's actually healthy, man.
00:22:31.000 It'll prevent cancer.
00:22:32.000 Really?
00:22:33.000 And cataracts.
00:22:34.000 And cataracts.
00:22:35.000 It does help with cataracts.
00:22:36.000 Glaucoma.
00:22:36.000 Not as much as other medication, but you know, it's not as fun.
00:22:39.000 It's definitely not as fun.
00:22:40.000 Here's another claim that has been made.
00:22:42.000 And again, this is just about you.
00:22:44.000 If you're going to make your decisions with your state, And if I were voting, I would probably vote to legalize it in my state.
00:22:50.000 Just to be clear.
00:22:50.000 With very, very strong restrictions.
00:22:52.000 Yeah.
00:22:53.000 But I think you need to make an informed decision.
00:22:55.000 All references available.
00:22:56.000 I'll link in the description.
00:22:57.000 They said for a long time that legalizing it would actually decrease illicit drug use.
00:23:01.000 The idea behind this was people are trying to go get street drugs, and so if you legalize marijuana, they're more likely to use the accessible drug, and you'll have fewer overdose deaths.
00:23:09.000 Here's the truth.
00:23:10.000 Um, no.
00:23:13.000 Now, I can't definitively make the claim that it has increased overdose deaths.
00:23:18.000 What I can tell you is that, at best, it has had no effect, and during the same time period, namely between 2015 and 2022, as marijuana has become increasingly legalized, overdoses have more than doubled.
00:23:31.000 They've more than doubled, and here's actually a study that I believe comes out of Columbia.
00:23:36.000 We have the reference there.
00:23:37.000 Adults use marijuana more frequently in these states where there's legal use, and there was a slight increase in problematic use among adolescents, and there's an overall increase in overdose deaths.
00:23:47.000 Not saying that's because of marijuana!
00:23:49.000 But I am saying that if you were to say, hey, here's a prescription to lower overdose deaths, which is how it was sold, and you saw the overdose deaths double, well, that's a shitty prescription.
00:24:00.000 It's like, hey, I'm going to give you this, and it's going to shrink your cancerous tumor.
00:24:04.000 And you come back, you say, I actually got twice as big twice as fast.
00:24:07.000 My bad!
00:24:09.000 It's definitely been a culture shift.
00:24:11.000 You can't, like you said, you can't directly attribute the numbers to it, but there's definitely been a culture shift, and it starts around 2012, I think.
00:24:18.000 That's when they started legalizing it.
00:24:20.000 And it's not lost to me that there are plenty of adults, by the way, high-functioning executives, who relax at night and use THC, as some people may use alcohol.
00:24:28.000 But let's be honest, there's a huge portion of this population in this country who are not responsible enough to handle psychotropic drugs if they're completely unregulated and not written through a prescription.
00:24:37.000 There are people here who can't handle psychotropic drugs that are written by prescription!
00:24:42.000 Here's another claim that has been sold to you.
00:24:45.000 That legalizing marijuana will reduce crime.
00:24:49.000 That was a big thing, right?
00:24:50.000 It's gonna reduce crime because, you know, you have people, you basically, you eliminate the black market.
00:24:54.000 Here's the truth.
00:24:55.000 It has not reduced crime.
00:24:57.000 Okay?
00:24:58.000 Still can vote to legalize it on the liberty argument, but not because it reduces crime or reduces overdoses.
00:25:03.000 I hope you're following.
00:25:04.000 Researchers at the University of Utah, recreational marijuana legalization increased property and violent crime, and retail sales of marijuana were associated with an increase in property crimes overall.
00:25:15.000 You also see, by the way, a lot of people thought you would do away with the drug trade.
00:25:19.000 Actually, more people are purchasing illicit, I guess, drugs.
00:25:24.000 Black market drugs in places like California than ever before because it's so much cheaper due to the taxes, and you see a huge rise in growing operations and trafficking.
00:25:34.000 For example, we did that piece in Oklahoma with farms that were basically owned by foreign Chinese entities, right?
00:25:40.000 In 2023, Oklahoma produced 64 times the amount of marijuana that residents could consume, and so it's trafficked to other parts of the country.
00:25:46.000 They tried hard, though.
00:25:47.000 Yeah.
00:25:47.000 Yeah.
00:25:47.000 I mean, they really did try to, you know, consume as much as they could.
00:25:50.000 Mexican cartels, if they feel as though they're losing money here, they've increased their production of heroin, fentanyl, meth.
00:25:57.000 I had this conversation on Red Eye a long time ago.
00:25:59.000 If you do it, it'll put the drug cartels out of business.
00:26:01.000 I said, oh, oh, so you believe that drug dealers are married to the idea of making money off of pot?
00:26:07.000 Or maybe they're married to the idea of working in an illegal trade no matter what and not paying taxes.
00:26:14.000 Doesn't matter what.
00:26:15.000 Then you just go, okay, legalize heroin, legalize fentanyl, legalize meth.
00:26:17.000 Then move on to prostitution, legalize prostitution.
00:26:19.000 They'll move to underage prostitution.
00:26:19.000 Guess what they'll do?
00:26:21.000 Everyone has a line, is the point that I'm making.
00:26:23.000 And so when people try and tell conservatives out there, man, I thought you were for liberty.
00:26:27.000 Well, you have a line too.
00:26:29.000 Everyone has a line, and you need to be able to draw that line in an informed way as to when it has some kind of prevalent harm presented to society.
00:26:38.000 And that line can be crossed.
00:26:39.000 We saw it in Oregon, where they legalize it.
00:26:41.000 First, it says marijuana.
00:26:42.000 Great.
00:26:43.000 And then a couple years ago, all of a sudden, now every drug is legal.
00:26:47.000 And that whole slippery slope argument, you always go, ah, come on, really?
00:26:49.000 Weed to heroin?
00:26:50.000 And then you're like, oh, shoot.
00:26:52.000 Yeah, it's happening in the street, literally.
00:26:54.000 Oh, so you're saying you're just going to legalize weed and people are going to be using black tar heroin and shitting in the streets?
00:27:00.000 Like, no.
00:27:00.000 Yes.
00:27:01.000 I'm telling you, there's going to be an app to identify the human shit in the streets.
00:27:05.000 Because there already is in San Francisco, so just move it over.
00:27:08.000 They're going to create programs where they put bathrooms downtown and they have needle cleanup crews and they have free needle exchanges.
00:27:16.000 Yeah.
00:27:17.000 There is a line and you can cross it and we've seen it.
00:27:19.000 Yes.
00:27:20.000 So, again, make your informed decisions, but if you're saying, I'm going to legalize it because it's going to reduce crime, it's going to increase tax revenue, That's not correct, and there may be a directly inverted correlation there.
00:27:33.000 Yes.
00:27:34.000 Well, really quickly, before you move on on the crime stats, so it is one of the things that I saw, like in California, right?
00:27:34.000 So here's another claim.
00:27:39.000 They legalized it a long time ago.
00:27:41.000 They've allowed people to grow out there.
00:27:42.000 They've actually made a documentary on this in some of the mountains, and I believe it's kind of the west coast.
00:27:47.000 So Humboldt?
00:27:48.000 Yeah, Humboldt, yeah.
00:27:49.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:27:49.000 So they have people on like four-wheelers with rifles guarding their stuff.
00:27:54.000 Oh, yeah.
00:27:54.000 You don't see that for grapes.
00:27:55.000 You don't see that for wheat or oranges or nectarines or anything.
00:27:59.000 You don't see that in any other product.
00:28:01.000 There is definitely a criminal element embedded in this community like no other agricultural product that we have.
00:28:08.000 Well, it's contributed to a sub-market, if that's even a word, but it's like people will rob these dispensaries and these farms and then they start selling on the streets for a little bit less without the added tax.
00:28:18.000 If one thing's for sure, I'm sure that drug addicts are going to pay a little bit extra and taxes for their drugs.
00:28:24.000 Yeah, you know how they're gonna get in their car and drive to the- They're gonna be sitting at home with their- with their- what are those called?
00:28:30.000 Fagos?
00:28:33.000 Don't bash the fagos, dude!
00:28:34.000 I paid my fair share!
00:28:35.000 I was like, hey man, I got a good- I got a good lineman, I can get you some cheap weed.
00:28:38.000 No, no, no, no!
00:28:40.000 Let's be responsible!
00:28:41.000 Let's do this right!
00:28:42.000 Give up your fan, it's rightful due!
00:28:46.000 Support a local small business and go down to the dispensary.
00:28:49.000 Well, you mentioned the GrowFarm thing, too.
00:28:51.000 That illicit stuff, the Chinese people coming in and doing it.
00:28:54.000 We did a huge video on that, so go and watch it on our channel.
00:28:56.000 But that's another criminal element that you've created in this industry that you have to at least acknowledge.
00:29:02.000 Maybe you can deal with it in certain ways, but you can't just turn a blind eye and go, everything's fantastic, it worked.
00:29:07.000 Exactly.
00:29:07.000 There are pluses and minuses to both sides of this issue.
00:29:10.000 That's all I'm saying.
00:29:11.000 And there was a period of time where if you said, I don't know if anything you're claiming is going to be true.
00:29:15.000 They go, you're paid by Big Pharma, bro!
00:29:16.000 Oh right, okay.
00:29:19.000 And then I would slip the Percocet back in my pocket and go, probably not at the right time.
00:29:25.000 So here's the other claim that is made.
00:29:31.000 Marijuana's totally safe and healthy.
00:29:36.000 Here's the truth.
00:29:38.000 No, it's not.
00:29:39.000 Now, in comparison to other drugs out there, of course.
00:29:43.000 And in comparison to alcohol just as it relates to overdose deaths, yes, that is absolutely true.
00:29:49.000 But I think there's a different standard that needs to be applied when you have billboards and marketing campaigns that say, wake and bake, and by the way, this is medicine.
00:29:58.000 I think there's a different... So, is it completely harmless?
00:30:03.000 And there are, to be clear, medicinal uses for marijuana.
00:30:03.000 No, it's not.
00:30:05.000 I'll list them here where it's actually been proven.
00:30:07.000 And by the way, in pretty much every state, you're past that threshold.
00:30:11.000 You do not need obscene amounts of THC.
00:30:13.000 CBD, a higher ratio with some THC.
00:30:15.000 THC itself has a therapeutic benefit.
00:30:18.000 Cancer patients, the side effects from a lot of those treatments with appetite, wasting, helps.
00:30:23.000 PTSD nightmares, for example.
00:30:26.000 Night terrors, those type of sleep disorders.
00:30:27.000 Seems to help with that.
00:30:28.000 Seems to help with neuropathic pain.
00:30:30.000 Something like gabapentin.
00:30:31.000 Won't help with the pain of an actual inner injury, like an opiate might.
00:30:34.000 Pretty much useless.
00:30:35.000 But in those instances, it seems like there's medicinal use.
00:30:40.000 Like fentanyl!
00:30:41.000 Yes!
00:30:42.000 Like fentanyl and codeine and morphine.
00:30:44.000 Dravet syndrome, someone can correct me here, that's the seizure disorder that's pretty rare with kids.
00:30:48.000 CBD does seem to help with that quite a bit.
00:30:50.000 And CBD has a lot of benefits, by the way.
00:30:53.000 And so does THC in a limited capacity, but if you are going to purchase, you know, three ounces of Alaskan Thunder Pussy, you're not trying to play doctor.
00:31:03.000 Just be honest about what it is that you're doing.
00:31:06.000 It's all about marketing these days, Josh.
00:31:09.000 My biggest issue, and please tell me you understand this, and I know I got into an argument with Joe Rogan on this a long time ago, but you know what?
00:31:15.000 I stand by my statement.
00:31:16.000 I have a problem with people who get high and drive just like I do people who drink and drive.
00:31:21.000 Is that a reasonable complaint?
00:31:23.000 Yes.
00:31:23.000 Especially when you understand that we don't have the ability to test for THC levels with roadside drug tests with alcohol.
00:31:29.000 It's a lot easier with THC.
00:31:31.000 You'd have to do some kind of a plasma test.
00:31:31.000 It's Jordan fat.
00:31:33.000 We haven't figured it out yet.
00:31:35.000 In Colorado, marijuana-related traffic deaths They went up 62% following legalization.
00:31:42.000 Workplace injuries went up.
00:31:45.000 Six to 20% like the year after.
00:31:48.000 And again, all the references are available.
00:31:49.000 I'm just saying it's not something that is without harm.
00:31:52.000 And if you have people out there simply trying to present to you, hey, what are we doing?
00:31:56.000 It's safe.
00:31:57.000 It's great.
00:31:58.000 Do it.
00:31:59.000 Okay.
00:32:00.000 Maybe don't paint in such broad strokes.
00:32:02.000 For the people who like so much to say everything is nuanced, I don't think that everything is nuanced.
00:32:06.000 I think there's far less gray in the world than people want to let on.
00:32:09.000 And the reason for that is because people want to be offensive or it's hard to say this is right.
00:32:11.000 This is wrong.
00:32:12.000 That being said, this is an issue where There are pros and there are cons.
00:32:17.000 And unfortunately, the cons have been minimized by people who have a vested interest, by the way, in telling you that marijuana is harmless, whether they actually have a financially vested interest or a personally vested interest, because they don't want to acknowledge that there could be potentially any type of ill effects, either to themselves or to society at large.
00:32:34.000 We have these petri dishes.
00:32:35.000 We have some results.
00:32:37.000 There's good and there's bad.
00:32:38.000 I just don't think that people should be shut up as though they're in the pocket of Big Pharma if they say, you know what?
00:32:44.000 There may be some bad.
00:32:45.000 And I say this as somebody who would recommend people try small amounts of THC with a higher ratio of CBD if they have certain ailments.
00:32:54.000 I would!
00:32:55.000 I believe there's a use for it.
00:32:56.000 I just don't like it when folks lie about it.
00:32:58.000 I need an entire generation of kids who are going to think there's nothing wrong with it, it's just something that adults do, and when I hit that age it is completely safe and harmless.
00:33:08.000 That's not true.
00:33:09.000 Accurate.
00:33:10.000 My dad's a cop in Vegas, and he told me he pulls over so many people, usually from California, he pulls over a lot of people DUI under marijuana, and they don't even know that they're breaking a law.
00:33:10.000 Absolutely.
00:33:20.000 Right.
00:33:20.000 Which is crazy!
00:33:21.000 Like, you didn't think... Dude, I... Look, I smoke a little weed, okay?
00:33:24.000 And that's the reason why my Uber Eats bill is off the charts, because I'm like, don't... I'm not gonna have a few beers and drive, I'm not gonna have a few jokes and go... But somebody's gotta be pointing this stuff out.
00:33:34.000 You gotta be able to point this out.
00:33:35.000 Something else too, we have to allow for individual tolerance, by the way.
00:33:38.000 Some people can have a very high tolerance to alcohol, and some people have zero tolerance to THC.
00:33:44.000 Some people really don't.
00:33:45.000 That's a fact.
00:33:46.000 Not everyone responds the same way.
00:33:49.000 Especially when it's something that's completely unregulated, where you could have somewhere from 5% THC to 90 in a vape pen.
00:33:55.000 That's the difference between a Coors Light and a pint of Everclear.
00:34:00.000 Or even an IPA, dude.
00:34:01.000 You go that simple.
00:34:02.000 An IPA and a Coors Light.
00:34:04.000 Some people have different tolerances.
00:34:05.000 You might have a high tolerance for marijuana and think, dude, I'm not high.
00:34:09.000 Right.
00:34:10.000 Yeah, you do, but you're much slower and your reaction time's off and you're kind of an idiot.
00:34:10.000 I function like this.
00:34:15.000 Yes.
00:34:16.000 I mean, we just, like you said, we have to be able to have an honest conversation.
00:34:18.000 As a Christian, I might surprise a lot of people out here.
00:34:21.000 I would vote yes as well.
00:34:23.000 Now, I would want some regulations in there.
00:34:25.000 I would want to make sure that we have a society that says, because though I am pro-legalization, I am anti-pot.
00:34:31.000 Right?
00:34:31.000 I can have both positions.
00:34:32.000 Yeah, definitely. As a Christian I could say like, well look, you know, scripturally it says all things are legal,
00:34:36.000 but not everything is beneficial.
00:34:38.000 Not everything is profitable. And it also says don't be mastered by anything. Don't let anything master you. That
00:34:43.000 could be cake.
00:34:44.000 That could be alcohol. That could be anything, right?
00:34:46.000 So I would say those same, those principles are already there and in place to guide our behaviors. Right, right.
00:34:52.000 I don't need a law necessarily taking away rights from everybody to make sure that I feel like those things are taken care of.
00:34:59.000 And you know why I know that is because we've had laws in place for a very long time against marijuana, and it has done nothing to slow down the use of marijuana.
00:35:06.000 You can't say- Well, it seems like it did slow it down because usage has gone up.
00:35:09.000 In other words, once you legalize it, usage does go up.
00:35:11.000 No, I'm meaning, like, so if you stopped marijuana from being legal back whenever they did that, I don't think the usage went down over time during it being illegal.
00:35:20.000 Now, I know once you legalize it, you make it easier for people to get.
00:35:22.000 You're probably going to increase the usage somewhat.
00:35:22.000 Yeah.
00:35:24.000 I get that.
00:35:24.000 But it didn't it didn't take it from 100 to zero.
00:35:27.000 Right.
00:35:27.000 Right.
00:35:28.000 It didn't accomplish the goal because it's illegal.
00:35:30.000 It should never happen then.
00:35:31.000 Right.
00:35:31.000 Well, it still happened.
00:35:32.000 And you could you could pretty much get any drug anywhere at any time.
00:35:35.000 So tell me that the war on drugs is working.
00:35:37.000 We're spending a lot of money on not doing it.
00:35:37.000 It's not.
00:35:38.000 I would have no problem with it.
00:35:39.000 I would have no problem with people, if you were really harsh on crime, and really harsh on people driving under the influence, the problems it's tough to enforce.
00:35:45.000 For example, I think open alcohol container laws in a car are complete horse crap.
00:35:49.000 I think it's ridiculous.
00:35:50.000 I think it should be whether you're inebriated or not.
00:35:52.000 They used to have drive-through booze.
00:35:54.000 Still do!
00:35:55.000 They still do in New Orleans or in Louisiana, yeah.
00:35:57.000 If you have a drink at a restaurant or you have an open beer, for example, but your blood alcohol level is effectively nothing, I think it's a BS law.
00:36:06.000 I think it gave Moms Demand Action, Mothers Against Drunk Driving, more power than they deserved.
00:36:10.000 I think the spirit of the law is you do not put other people at risk because of your bad decisions.
00:36:15.000 And having an open bottle of whiskey because you're leaving a New Year's party and you didn't reseal it and put it in the trunk, you shouldn't give the police that kind of authority to pull you over.
00:36:22.000 That being said, harsher penalties for DWI.
00:36:24.000 Really quickly, go to CNN. I want to catch this lower third.
00:36:27.000 I'm sorry. I'm sorry. The IDF, bad-a-mother-evers, right?
00:36:32.000 So what they were basically saying is exploding pagers are killing Hezbollah members.
00:36:39.000 Oh my God, that sucks for them, because they were so excited to finally have pagers.
00:36:43.000 9-1-1, what does that mean?
00:36:46.000 Literally, there's... Look, I'm sorry, but if you're a terrorist animal... There was a second.
00:36:50.000 There was like a period of... There was a span of two seconds where that Hezbollah terrorist was really cool, like, I think I'm being beeped.
00:36:56.000 Uh-oh.
00:36:58.000 Looks like I need it.
00:37:01.000 1,000 wounded.
00:37:02.000 1,000 wounded.
00:37:02.000 So if you're a Hezbollah piece of crap terrorist... Wait, did they do it to Hezbollah or to Hezbo...
00:37:07.000 Blood to it.
00:37:08.000 They did it to Hezbollah terrorists.
00:37:10.000 Didn't Hezbollah wonder why they got a giant crate of three pagers?
00:37:14.000 Oh, look at these pagers!
00:37:15.000 Was it like the size of a suitcase?
00:37:19.000 Now I need to find the payphone!
00:37:21.000 I'm sorry, but that's a really creative way of... Can you imagine being like, well, how did he go?
00:37:25.000 Pager.
00:37:26.000 You know, that was... Khabib!
00:37:27.000 Khabib!
00:37:27.000 Look, it says 8008!
00:37:30.000 You know that when someone took a flyer, they didn't want to spend so much money on it, so they didn't want to spring for the cell phone, like, alright, if you say they actually dig the pages, you have my blessing.
00:37:39.000 Then they got called, like, a thousand wounded!
00:37:40.000 No shit!
00:37:41.000 Wow!
00:37:43.000 There's a video.
00:37:44.000 It's not graphic.
00:37:46.000 Okay, alright, it's not graphic.
00:37:47.000 Let's see it.
00:37:48.000 I mean, you see it go off the guy with the bag right there in the lower corner.
00:37:50.000 What the hell?
00:37:52.000 Oh no!
00:37:54.000 My dick!
00:37:56.000 Oh!
00:37:58.000 What the?
00:38:00.000 I love how he rewinded!
00:38:02.000 That guy checks him, he's like, I want to know his brand, so I avoid it.
00:38:05.000 Ah, that's what I figured.
00:38:13.000 It's a Motorola.
00:38:15.000 They haven't worked out the kinks!
00:38:18.000 You never get the first edition anything!
00:38:21.000 This is like Law Abiding Citizen where they really want to get you, they're going to get you.
00:38:25.000 It's like the exploding ink thing at Nordstrom's.
00:38:29.000 Were they all doctors?
00:38:30.000 Why do they have pagers?
00:38:33.000 I gotta know more about this operation.
00:38:36.000 How do they plan this?
00:38:37.000 How do they distribute it?
00:38:38.000 Oh my gosh.
00:38:39.000 Free pagers, everybody.
00:38:40.000 Here you go.
00:38:41.000 And pretty much no one helps him.
00:38:44.000 You ruined my dates!
00:38:46.000 My figs!
00:38:48.000 It's like in a movie where someone gets shot with special effects.
00:38:51.000 Squibs.
00:38:53.000 Squibs, yeah.
00:38:55.000 Let me see it one more time.
00:38:56.000 Yeah, definitely.
00:38:57.000 We gotta hear it, too.
00:38:59.000 I don't feel bad.
00:38:59.000 He's a terrorist.
00:39:01.000 I think he survived, so we're not reveling.
00:39:03.000 Well, I had to full screen it Looking at limes
00:39:12.000 What is he doing?
00:39:13.000 Looks at him like, alright, he's fine guys, nothing to see here.
00:39:17.000 This other guy's like, can I get a mandarin?
00:39:20.000 Clean up on aisle four.
00:39:23.000 Aw, he ruined the little cuties!
00:39:29.000 Is there another one?
00:39:30.000 is there another one?
00:39:31.000 i'm checking guys i'm sorry because we're about to get into the uh...

00:40:35.000 Listen, hey, all we know is that these people walked away just fine and their backpack exploded and that was it.
00:40:40.000 But these are Hezbollah people.
00:40:41.000 No deaths.

00:40:51.000 The alarm.
00:40:59.000 I thought that was his pager.
00:41:01.000 I did too.
00:41:07.000 They ran into each other.
00:41:11.000 Don't answer the second one!
00:41:12.000 Does that guy have a phone unhooked because he's too cheap to pay for music?
00:41:15.000 So he's like, I'll just use the call waiting line!

00:41:25.000 It'll put me on hold for an hour.
00:41:27.000 Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you the big Mud Club Undercover story this Thursday.
00:41:30.000 Yes, yes, yes.
00:41:31.000 Very big story, one that will make your blood boil.
00:41:33.000 I apologize, but it is necessary.
00:41:35.000 And you can send your tips between now and election to lwctipsatprotonmail.com.
00:41:39.000 We appreciate it.
00:41:40.000 Let's go to this new story, Georgia.
00:41:45.000 Georgia right now, there was a story recently First off, let's set this up.
00:41:50.000 Democrats believe that abortion is the winning issue for them and the losing issue for Donald Trump.
00:41:54.000 Okay, you can comment below as to whether you agree with that.
00:41:57.000 I also understand that a lot of people have been brainwashed and don't actually understand what abortion is, what viability is, where we have the beginning of human life.
00:42:06.000 These are questions that I think need to be asked for you to Actually have a valid opinion.
00:42:11.000 For you to hold a valid opinion on abortion, you need to be able to answer when life begins.
00:42:15.000 You need to be able to understand viability of a baby, both in and outside of the womb.
00:42:19.000 And none of these qualifications require a vagina.
00:42:23.000 I just want to be very clear because I'm a white male today.
00:42:25.000 Well, you know what?
00:42:26.000 I have an opinion on murder, on theft, on arson, and I don't apologize for my off-white penis.
00:42:35.000 And you shouldn't.
00:42:36.000 There's a new... I mean it's kind of more of a... It's a good color.
00:42:39.000 A gradient taupe.
00:42:41.000 New story!
00:42:42.000 It's seen some sun lately.
00:42:44.000 Out of Georgia is giving extra fuel to the left where this is the first preventable death that has taken place because of Donald Trump's abortion ban.
00:42:54.000 That's how they're selling it.
00:42:55.000 We'll get to the claims and truth.
00:42:57.000 According to a new report from ProPublica out today, we know that these bans have also resulted in the death of at least two patients in Georgia.
00:43:05.000 This initial reporting focuses on the story of just one of those two patients, Amber Thurman.
00:43:10.000 She was a 28-year-old single mother of one.
00:43:13.000 You can see a picture of her right there.
00:43:15.000 She died on August 19, 2022.
00:43:18.000 This is post-Roe America.
00:43:19.000 Amber's story is post-Roe America.
00:43:22.000 Today would have been Amber Thurman's 31st birthday.
00:43:26.000 And she should have lived to see it.
00:43:28.000 Okay, so we're going to go through all the claims, but listen to that right there.
00:43:32.000 Single mother, then pregnant with twins.
00:43:35.000 If you read the articles, she was considering or saying she was going to go back to nursing school.
00:43:39.000 Didn't want to have children because, or more children, because of her newfound stability and apartment to which she moved into.
00:43:44.000 So let's be really clear as to what it is that we're discussing here.
00:43:47.000 There were several steps along the way to make more responsible decisions.
00:43:50.000 Again, you can say that's, oh, it's not empathetic.
00:43:53.000 I'm sorry.
00:43:54.000 Sorry.
00:43:54.000 We're at the point now where there's been enough time.
00:43:57.000 It's 2024.
00:43:57.000 Everyone has access to Google and knows how babies are made.
00:44:03.000 Here's the claim.
00:44:05.000 She died because Georgia would not perform the abortion.
00:44:07.000 Trump and Kemp's abortion ban!
00:44:10.000 Okay?
00:44:11.000 Here's the truth.
00:44:12.000 You can read the very next paragraph in any story where this has been posted.
00:44:16.000 She was given abortion pills in North Carolina.
00:44:19.000 At the time, North Carolina allowed abortions up to 20 weeks.
00:44:22.000 North Carolina now allows abortion, in certain exceptions, up to 24 weeks, according to Planned Parenthood.
00:44:29.000 For reference, here's a 21-week-old fetus born.
00:44:35.000 Oh, they can be born.
00:44:36.000 So there's life.
00:44:36.000 Yeah.
00:44:37.000 Yes.
00:44:38.000 So we're no longer having a discussion about whether you're ending a life.
00:44:43.000 Because there was, there were mass protests over saying, all right, let's just put limitations on 20 weeks.
00:44:50.000 No, and now you can still do it up to 24 weeks, according to Planned Parenthood, if there are exceptions.
00:44:55.000 Of course, you know, these exceptions become broader and broader.
00:44:58.000 Here's another claim that they're making, and they're using this story To simply tug on your heart strings but not actually present the facts that matter.
00:45:07.000 That this was a preventable death.
00:45:09.000 This was a completely preventable death if not for the bed.
00:45:12.000 Here's the truth.
00:45:14.000 She was given the same treatment as anyone would have been.
00:45:17.000 Seeking an abortion.
00:45:18.000 Turns out, abortions have complications.
00:45:21.000 That's the takeaway here.
00:45:22.000 I would have never guessed trying to kill people inside an alive body would be complicated, but... The abortion medication, for example, it carries a risk of serious complications, just to be clear.
00:45:34.000 You have been told that abortion is safe.
00:45:37.000 It used to be safe, legal, rare.
00:45:38.000 Now it's taxpayer-funded, on-demand, period.
00:45:41.000 But it's never completely safe.
00:45:43.000 And this is not novel.
00:45:44.000 The only difference is they're saying, well, this woman had to travel from Jordan to North Carolina.
00:45:48.000 Ask yourself, did they do anything differently?
00:45:51.000 With this abortion?
00:45:53.000 No, so it's not the state law.
00:45:54.000 She went to the state where she could have the abortion.
00:45:56.000 Here's another claim that they're making.
00:45:58.000 If she could have gotten her abortion in Georgia sooner, this wouldn't have happened.
00:46:02.000 Again, absolving people of any type of personal responsibility.
00:46:06.000 Here's the truth.
00:46:07.000 On the day of her procedure, an abortion procedure, she showed up late.
00:46:13.000 It was scheduled, she showed up late, and so she was given pills because she missed her window.
00:46:22.000 Given the pills that everyone else would be given, had the complications that many people have.
00:46:26.000 Let's be really clear about this.
00:46:27.000 So, okay, single mother...
00:46:29.000 Of course, this is your issue, not hers.
00:46:31.000 Didn't want to have more children.
00:46:33.000 Seems like she had more sex.
00:46:35.000 Okay, this is your issue, not hers.
00:46:37.000 Didn't want to go through with it, so wanted to have an abortion, but the states wouldn't allow it.
00:46:41.000 This is your issue, not hers.
00:46:43.000 Had a scheduled abortion procedure, which, by the way, would be in a timeline that would have taken place if she lived in North Carolina herself anyway.
00:46:49.000 Showed up late.
00:46:50.000 Your issue, not hers.
00:46:52.000 At what point do we start saying, hey, hey, it's not just the doctors, sweethearts, Let's have some personal responsibility.
00:47:02.000 I know people get pissed off.
00:47:03.000 No apologies for my penis.
00:47:05.000 You realize that this is the behavior, I'm sorry, of children.
00:47:11.000 Of children.
00:47:13.000 And the problem is, real children are the ones who are being murdered.
00:47:17.000 Look, there's been enough time.
00:47:19.000 There's been enough time at this moment in time, in 2024, there's been enough time for people to figure out how to make responsible decisions in their sexual behaviors and to understand the ramifications of abortion procedures, okay?
00:47:34.000 Sorry, at this point, and you know what?
00:47:36.000 I don't think this can be fixed so long as there are enough, and I don't even just mean a plurality, a majority of women out there, and I know there are pro-life female activists, but guess what?
00:47:46.000 You're not enough to correct the ranks of women right now in this country.
00:47:51.000 You know what's never happened in the history of Western civilization?
00:47:56.000 An issue like this that has progressively gotten more and more contentious being solved by women.
00:48:03.000 Women can't come to agreement on it.
00:48:05.000 You have women defending a woman going out and having promiscuous sex repeatedly, creating children without fathers, fatherless households, wanting to do it again, showing up late for an appointment, taking the pill that every single person would take if they were having said abortion being performed.
00:48:19.000 There's nothing novel about this procedure.
00:48:21.000 Complications had taken place and we're blaming it on Trump.
00:48:29.000 You're children.
00:48:30.000 People who make these arguments.
00:48:32.000 And by the way, there were, I believe, and you guys can fact check me, somewhere around 30 to 35 other deaths from people who took this pill, not attributed to Donald Trump.
00:48:40.000 Had complications.
00:48:40.000 Of course.
00:48:41.000 That year, in 2022.
00:48:42.000 The death has nothing to do with the ban.
00:48:45.000 Yeah.
00:48:45.000 She went to a place where she had an abortion, performed in a facility, legally.
00:48:48.000 She didn't have the procedure.
00:48:49.000 She got the pills because she showed up late.
00:48:53.000 Grow up!
00:48:55.000 And not just this person.
00:48:56.000 The women out there who clutch to abortion.
00:48:59.000 Grow up!
00:49:00.000 Maybe you'd make a fine adult.
00:49:02.000 But we're not seeing it now.
00:49:05.000 And I'm not saying that Donald Trump should go out and campaign on this.
00:49:08.000 You guys can comment below.
00:49:09.000 Are you a little tired of everyone having to tiptoe around and be nice about all of it?
00:49:14.000 Hey, I don't know if you know this, but abortion always carries with it a risk of death 100% of the time.
00:49:20.000 Yeah, unless it fails.
00:49:22.000 Right.
00:49:23.000 Well then you make the child comfortable and see what the parents want to do.
00:49:25.000 Right.
00:49:26.000 They got one thing right though, it was a preventable death.
00:49:29.000 There was a lot of times she could have prevented this.
00:49:30.000 Yep.
00:49:31.000 The sex, the early noticing, getting there on time, you don't have to take the pill.
00:49:36.000 Yep.
00:49:36.000 Just be a mom.
00:49:37.000 Yep.
00:49:39.000 Show up on time.
00:49:39.000 She got the same abortion care that she would have if she was in any state.
00:49:43.000 Oh, she had to drive four hours.
00:49:45.000 The humanity.
00:49:46.000 So let's walk through this.
00:49:47.000 You can't be expected to understand how contraception or abstinence works.
00:49:51.000 You cannot be expected to understand the ramifications of abortion.
00:49:55.000 And you cannot be expected, as a woman, to drive three to four hours and show up on time.
00:50:03.000 Hey, tell me again about mansplaining.
00:50:06.000 Why do you think men sometimes treat women, namely liberal women, like they're children?
00:50:12.000 You know why?
00:50:13.000 Because so many of them are okay with killing children.
00:50:17.000 And I'm sorry, this problem's not going to be solved.
00:50:19.000 Women, you've had enough time?
00:50:20.000 It's going to take men out there at this point.
00:50:22.000 You know what?
00:50:23.000 You have to be super prudent with your sexual behavior.
00:50:26.000 Because you're on the hook no matter what.
00:50:29.000 Women are not willing to have this quote-unquote civil war amongst themselves.
00:50:33.000 You have a few pro-life activists who are doing great work, but I'm telling you...
00:50:33.000 They're not.
00:50:38.000 In Western civilization right now, in the United States of America, there are not enough women who can stand up and correct this problem.
00:50:43.000 And I get it, there are some young women, there are some women who are lied to because of the abortion lobbyists, and they don't actually know what is going on.
00:50:51.000 That's not the case the majority of the time in 2024.
00:50:55.000 You have people who know that it is the termination of a life, and they can't be bothered with it anyway, with the responsibility.
00:51:04.000 This is legislating a complete lack of accountability.
00:51:08.000 And this story is a perfect example of it, and the media still, because they really don't have the examples that they claim they have, all the back alley coat hanger abortions.
00:51:17.000 The example they have is a woman who traveled four hours late for an appointment and had the same abortion medication given to her that would be given to any woman who would be taking abortion medication.
00:51:27.000 That's Donald Trump's fault.
00:51:28.000 Are you starting to see The projection, the gaslighting.
00:51:33.000 That's why you're made to apologize for your genitals, men.
00:51:37.000 Because you know what?
00:51:38.000 This issue takes some people with balls to stand up and say, ah, okay, we've kind of, we've crossed the Rubicon now.
00:51:46.000 I said it like an English person.
00:51:47.000 The Rubicon.
00:51:48.000 Scheduled.
00:51:49.000 It also takes a lot of balls to claim that she died because of a lack of abortion, when in fact she died because of the abortion.
00:51:57.000 Right.
00:51:58.000 It takes balls to spin that that way.
00:52:00.000 Well, you know, if it wasn't for Trump, she wouldn't have had to drive to North Carolina and drive back.
00:52:06.000 Like she's deep sea diving and gonna deal with the bends, some kind of decompression sickness.
00:52:12.000 She's driving across state lines a couple of hours and she was still late.
00:52:15.000 And she got the pills!
00:52:16.000 What are the pills, different in Georgia?
00:52:17.000 Yeah, exactly.
00:52:19.000 These are the same.
00:52:20.000 You can read the medications that have been taken.
00:52:22.000 And I'm sorry, look, I just think, I can tell you this as someone who has conducted Change My Minds, Many, many, many times.
00:52:28.000 I mean, you're talking about dozens of women.
00:52:30.000 Had a fetal development chart.
00:52:33.000 Where's the line?
00:52:35.000 Not one!
00:52:38.000 Not one!
00:52:39.000 Said, all right, okay, 22 weeks.
00:52:41.000 It's a baby.
00:52:42.000 It's got a brain, got a heart, beating fingers, nails.
00:52:44.000 No, there was one person who was pro-abortion, who had had an abortion, and went to a university, and came on this show, I believe it was two weeks later, saying, you know what, I had to think about it, and I actually regret it, and she had now become pro-life.
00:52:56.000 But as far as that fetal chart, and this is when people go, you know, these women are lied to.
00:53:01.000 Nope!
00:53:02.000 Here's a fetal chart.
00:53:03.000 Where's your line?
00:53:04.000 Not one.
00:53:06.000 I get it, not a huge sample size, just maybe 40 to 60 people?
00:53:10.000 And then look at the voting bloc?
00:53:13.000 We expect to have a country that is governed by the people who look at a fetal development chart and not one is willing to say, that's the limit?
00:53:20.000 You know who else won't give you a limit?
00:53:22.000 Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, Hillary Clinton.
00:53:24.000 They've been asked point blank, no limits whatsoever.
00:53:28.000 Abortions are being performed at 5, 6, 7 months to the tens of thousands in this country.
00:53:36.000 The low end is 10,000.
00:53:40.000 The low end is $10,000.
00:53:40.000 That's a lean year for late-term abortions.
00:53:45.000 And people want to tiptoe around it because, oh my gosh, you might piss off suburban white women.
00:53:49.000 Well, guess what?
00:53:52.000 And it's worth mentioning, Georgia, by the way, is no stranger to aborting twins.
00:53:52.000 Don't care.
00:53:57.000 You just had an abortion?
00:53:58.000 Twins?
00:53:59.000 Twins.
00:54:01.000 Yeah, double homicide.
00:54:03.000 F*** not.
00:54:08.000 It's not as funny as it read on paper, but it's still kind of funny.
00:54:10.000 That's true!
00:54:11.000 Because it's true.
00:54:13.000 And I'm all about, look, personal responsibility, right?
00:54:13.000 Yes.
00:54:16.000 We talked about this.
00:54:16.000 There has to be the personal responsibility here.
00:54:19.000 And stop with, I don't know what got into our culture and started infecting it saying, you can do whatever you want consequence-free.
00:54:26.000 And then you can turn a blind eye, like you're saying, people not willing to put down a line on that and say, no, no, no, no, no, none of those are babies, because if those are babies, then I have to start making decisions in a responsible fashion.
00:54:36.000 Because I can't just go out and have an abortion anytime I want.
00:54:39.000 Even if it's six weeks, even if it's five weeks, whatever.
00:54:41.000 Even if it's the morning after, right?
00:54:43.000 Any of those situations, all you have to do is have more personal responsibility and more regard for life and you avoid it.
00:54:49.000 And our culture right now preaches the exact opposite.
00:54:52.000 We've got your back.
00:54:52.000 Yep.
00:54:53.000 We'll give you money.
00:54:54.000 Don't worry about it.
00:54:55.000 You know what you didn't hear in there?
00:54:56.000 Dads.
00:54:58.000 That woman had a child, and look, it's sad that somebody lost their life, okay?
00:55:01.000 Of course!
00:55:02.000 But, they made a lot of really bad decisions to get there, and so you can't trumpet this as a case of, oops, this is Donald Trump's fault, didn't happen on her watch, wasn't her fault, right?
00:55:10.000 Yeah.
00:55:11.000 This person had a child, didn't have a dad in the home.
00:55:13.000 I don't know if this was the same father of the first child that gave her twins.
00:55:17.000 Take a guess.
00:55:18.000 I doubt it.
00:55:18.000 He's probably dancing like he's on Mari right now.
00:55:21.000 I know, but what I'm saying, right now, women, Men, you've got to start making decisions and being responsible.
00:55:28.000 That is the call that Steven is making.
00:55:30.000 Be an adult.
00:55:31.000 You have to do it.
00:55:32.000 And look, if, if, if women are going to be lied to and not do this, and I say lied to meaning like culturally, not about abortion, they're not being lied to about abortion.
00:55:38.000 They're choosing to not look at that and go, that's a child.
00:55:41.000 I agree a hundred percent, but I think they're being lied to saying you can do whatever you want.
00:55:44.000 Consequence free in life, because every single teenager right now is being told that when we were teenagers, we were being told that those chickens are coming home to roost essentially men.
00:55:54.000 Stop having sex with them!
00:55:57.000 You're not absolved of responsibility in this situation as well.
00:56:00.000 Stop!
00:56:01.000 No, in fact, they'll blame you for it.
00:56:02.000 Yes, exactly.
00:56:03.000 You got her pregnant.
00:56:03.000 They'll blame you.
00:56:04.000 She consented.
00:56:05.000 You did it, though.
00:56:06.000 They'll blame you, and then they'll blame Governor Kemp and Donald Trump.
00:56:10.000 Hey, look, feminists.
00:56:12.000 You can't blame men for women having to get abortions according to yourself, and then tell the men you blame that they're not allowed to have an opinion.
00:56:23.000 Nowhere else does this take place.
00:56:26.000 Oh, really?
00:56:27.000 You're white?
00:56:28.000 And you think, really?
00:56:29.000 You could have an opinion on slavery when I see some more melanin in your skin.
00:56:29.000 Well, you know what?
00:56:32.000 No!
00:56:33.000 It required people in charge who were responsible to say, hey, this is wrong.
00:56:38.000 Slavery is wrong.
00:56:39.000 We got to stop it.
00:56:42.000 If you're not black, no opinion.
00:56:43.000 Hey, even if wherever you light up on the women's Suffrage, the right to vote.
00:56:48.000 I know there's split opinions out there.
00:56:50.000 It took men to go, alright, come on, let's make sure they can vote!
00:56:54.000 Hey, I don't know if you know this, men were the ones who legislated domestic violence laws against women.
00:57:01.000 Men were the ones who created consequences for infidelity or physical abuse.
00:57:07.000 In marriages.
00:57:09.000 Adapted those laws!
00:57:11.000 This is still a problem right now.
00:57:12.000 It's going to have to be solved by men.
00:57:15.000 I know women don't like hearing that, but guess what?
00:57:17.000 We don't like being blamed for your decisions.
00:57:20.000 Hey, here's the issue.
00:57:21.000 It's like, a man can make a mistake.
00:57:24.000 Here's a problem.
00:57:25.000 It robs men out there of redemption.
00:57:29.000 A man can maybe go out and not use protection and say, I wasn't responsible.
00:57:34.000 But once upon a time, you'd step up and you'd have to do the right thing.
00:57:36.000 You either marry the woman, you become a dad.
00:57:38.000 If this man says, you know what?
00:57:40.000 I need to make better decisions.
00:57:40.000 I feel convicted.
00:57:43.000 Baby's dead anyway.
00:57:45.000 And you gotta live with that guilt.
00:57:45.000 You have no say in it.
00:57:49.000 I guarantee you.
00:57:50.000 Yeah.
00:57:51.000 Yep.
00:57:52.000 No vagina, no opinion.
00:57:53.000 Alright.
00:57:54.000 Thank God people didn't say that when you got the vote.
00:57:57.000 Thank God people didn't say that when slavery was ended.
00:57:59.000 Bunch of white guys.
00:58:01.000 Bunch of good white guys.
00:58:02.000 There were bad white guys.
00:58:03.000 Took some white guys who were good in power.
00:58:05.000 At this point in this country, sorry.
00:58:07.000 Sorry.
00:58:08.000 Women, you've had a say in this and you've silenced people with penises.
00:58:11.000 Because I know you can't say men.
00:58:12.000 People with penises.
00:58:13.000 You've silenced people with penises for too long and you haven't been able to solve your own issues on this.
00:58:18.000 And now you're blaming Donald Trump for a woman Who had unprotected sex for at least the second time.
00:58:27.000 I'm willing to bet quite a bit more than that.
00:58:29.000 Who couldn't be bothered to drive a few hours on time for the abortion procedure.
00:58:33.000 And this is the story that's being used to say we need to federally legalize abortion all the way up until and including birth period with no exceptions?
00:58:45.000 Okay.
00:58:47.000 Color me a person with a penis and a lack of compassion then at that point because I think we are way too far gone.
00:58:54.000 Comment below.
00:58:55.000 You can let me know if you think I'm out of line.
00:58:57.000 I don't think that this is something that Donald Trump should campaign on.
00:58:59.000 He's already made his answers clear.
00:59:00.000 This is just my opinion.
00:59:01.000 Alright.
00:59:03.000 Speaking of Trump.
00:59:04.000 Speaking of Trump.
00:59:05.000 An attempt.
00:59:06.000 I don't know if you know this.
00:59:06.000 Yes.
00:59:07.000 There's been an attempt.
00:59:08.000 On Donald Trump's life.
00:59:08.000 Maybe.
00:59:09.000 But now, they're actually really... And I'll tell you why I think this is happening.
00:59:13.000 There it is right now.
00:59:13.000 It's apparent.
00:59:14.000 This guy.
00:59:14.000 Oh, look.
00:59:14.000 There you go.
00:59:15.000 It's right there.
00:59:16.000 Apparent Trump assassination attempt.
00:59:18.000 We need everybody from around the globe to stop what they're doing and come here now.
00:59:22.000 I think more emotional for me is... Yeah, we played that yesterday.
00:59:24.000 Okay, we played that yesterday.
00:59:26.000 So, I'll tell you why they're downplaying this.
00:59:29.000 Because Donald Trump saw a huge bump last time someone tried to take his life.
00:59:29.000 Why?
00:59:32.000 Right?
00:59:34.000 People kind of, they were galvanized, they coalesced around him.
00:59:38.000 They don't want that to happen right now.
00:59:40.000 And they feel like they have an out because, ooh, there wasn't a bullet fired yet.
00:59:46.000 So, what are they doing?
00:59:48.000 Now, they're already trying to set a narrative to downplay this, because my god, this is a very fragile ecosystem as it relates to the election, and anything that may tip things in Donald Trump's favor could be catastrophic goodnight sweet prince.
01:00:01.000 So during a press conference, the Secret Service actually gave you some of these further details on assassination attempt of four plots, number two.
01:00:12.000 As former President Trump was moving through the Fifth Fairway, across the course, and out of sight of the Sixth Green, the agent, who was visually sweeping the area of the Sixth Green, saw the subject, armed with what he perceived to be a rifle, and immediately discharged his firearm.
01:00:29.000 The subject, who did not have line of sight to the former president, fled the scene.
01:00:34.000 He did not fire or get off any shots.
01:00:37.000 Yeah, you know who didn't have a line of sight too?
01:00:40.000 Lee Harvey Oswald.
01:00:40.000 has immediately hopped on by media, I mean the left, but I repeat myself. The phrase
01:00:44.000 line of sight, didn't have a line of sight! Didn't have a line of sight! Here you go,
01:00:47.000 here's a collage, all references available for you. It's now in the headlines. Did not
01:00:50.000 have a line of sight! Yeah. Apparent Trump assassination plot, we say apparent because
01:00:55.000 he didn't have a line of sight. Yeah, you know who didn't have a line of sight too?
01:00:59.000 Lee Harvey Oswald. Until he did.
01:01:00.000 Sounds like a good job by the Secret Service to me.
01:01:05.000 Yes, they did a good job.
01:01:06.000 Donald Trump, just because he was out of sight, he was about to be on the sixth tee box.
01:01:10.000 In sight.
01:01:10.000 He was about to be on the sixth fairway, if he had a good tee shot.
01:01:13.000 In sight.
01:01:13.000 He was about to be on the sixth green.
01:01:15.000 Really close and in sight.
01:01:16.000 Yeah.
01:01:17.000 And this guy had been waiting for a long time with, from what we understand, armored plates to protect himself.
01:01:24.000 We don't have all the details because they don't want to release all the details.
01:01:27.000 We also still don't know how, beyond the fact that of course the Secret Service can't handle a sloped roof, how that man got so close.
01:01:33.000 We don't have those details either.
01:01:34.000 But this is now what's going, you know, it's catching on like wildfire on social media.
01:01:38.000 Here's someone with 408,000 views on an ex-post.
01:01:42.000 And just like that, Trump's narrative gets debunked.
01:01:45.000 The suspect never shot any bullets and never had a line of sight to Trump.
01:01:49.000 It wasn't an assassination attempt.
01:01:51.000 Time for the media to move on.
01:01:53.000 Here's someone else, angry staffer with 847,000 views.
01:01:55.000 No shots fired!
01:01:57.000 Never had line of sight to presumptive target.
01:01:59.000 At this point, calling us an attempted assassination is like calling egging someone's house an attempted omelette.
01:02:05.000 Okay, allow me to disagree because the man had a rifle and was planning on killing him!
01:02:12.000 A little bit different from egging someone's house.
01:02:15.000 Remember, these are the same people who told you that Donald Trump wasn't shot the right way.
01:02:19.000 It could have been a piece of glass from a prompter, which we now know is not true.
01:02:22.000 He was barely injured, so just move on.
01:02:24.000 Just move on.
01:02:25.000 In other words, they only want to make a story of it when this man is dead, which, oh, first they'll go back to what they want in the first place.
01:02:31.000 Who would you call it if you caught some kids and bicycles in front of the house with cartons of eggs?
01:02:37.000 Call them eggers.
01:02:38.000 You'd call it an attempted omelette.
01:02:40.000 Especially if it's in Arizona.
01:02:41.000 They're doing like this.
01:02:41.000 That's a hot place.
01:02:42.000 They got the egg in their hand, but they're not trying to egg your house, apparently.
01:02:45.000 They're just there holding the egg in that frozen position that makes no sense whatsoever.
01:02:48.000 You made a point that made me think of something.
01:02:50.000 You said he'd been there a long time.
01:02:51.000 I think people say that he was there for like 12 hours.
01:02:54.000 I don't know if that's true.
01:02:55.000 Can we fact check that research?
01:02:56.000 Because I want to make sure.
01:02:57.000 Here's the other part to that.
01:02:59.000 From everything that I have heard, this was an unscheduled golf round.
01:03:03.000 How in the world would this guy know 12 hours in advance about this?
01:03:08.000 And you can say, Oh, well, he saw Donald Trump going to the golf course.
01:03:10.000 Six holes does not take 12 hours to play.
01:03:10.000 Nope.
01:03:13.000 Six holes probably takes you about an hour, maybe 45 minutes to an hour and 15 minutes.
01:03:18.000 How in the world did this guy know to be there at that time to do this?
01:03:22.000 Now, if there's information about this that it was a scheduled trip, then okay, fine, then that explains it.
01:03:26.000 But everything I had heard was this was not a scheduled round, that this was publicly available information.
01:03:31.000 Well, these same people who are... Sorry, Joshua.
01:03:34.000 This guy does this every Sunday.
01:03:36.000 Yeah, exactly.
01:03:36.000 It wasn't planned at all.
01:03:37.000 Oh, come on.
01:03:38.000 That's my plan.
01:03:39.000 Couple of beers, armored plates along the fence line.
01:03:41.000 I watch people with my scope.
01:03:44.000 The point here is that this is, look, this is absolutely the byproduct of the rhetoric of accusing Donald Trump of being Hitler and a fascist, where people, this man said, we need to take him out because he's a threat to democracy, to be very clear.
01:03:55.000 And so what they want to do now is say, this is an attempt to say, oh, there goes Donald Trump.
01:04:00.000 Drama queen.
01:04:01.000 Yeah.
01:04:02.000 Yeah, he has to bob and weave bullets when he leaves his house.
01:04:06.000 But, you know, hey, what happened with the victim blaming?
01:04:08.000 Oh, that's right.
01:04:09.000 If someone dresses like a prostitute and a man thinks that they perhaps may be alluding to the idea that they're open to sexual activity, that's victim blaming.
01:04:16.000 But it's not victim blaming when a man is shot!
01:04:20.000 To say that it's his own damn fault.
01:04:21.000 Case in point, by the way, Hillary Clinton.
01:04:25.000 Last night she was on Rachel Maddow, Hillary Clinton, who by the way is looking more and more like Simon Birch, and she... Uncanny.
01:04:33.000 Uncanny.
01:04:38.000 She said this.
01:04:39.000 I don't understand why it's so difficult for the press to have a consistent narrative about
01:04:45.000 how dangerous Trump is.
01:04:47.000 Well, the object in this case is Donald Trump, his demagoguery, his danger to our country and the world.
01:04:56.000 And stick with it.
01:04:58.000 We can't go back and give this very dangerous man another chance to do harm to our country and the world.
01:05:08.000 And then of course they asked Donald Trump to tone down his rhetoric.
01:05:10.000 Let's be really clear about what's taking place right here.
01:05:12.000 The level of... It's no wonder the left always likes to use the term of narcissist and everyone is a serial abuser because that's exactly what they are.
01:05:20.000 They're serial abusers.
01:05:22.000 On air.
01:05:23.000 They said it.
01:05:24.000 The media should do what I say.
01:05:25.000 Yes, and by the way, they're also at the same time trying to blame Donald Trump and Vance for, and just so you know, um, I'll just, sorry, I'm gonna have to kind of spoiler, uh, they're not real, the bomb threats, uh, but they were blaming Vance and Donald Trump for the bomb threats that we believed at one point in Springfield.
01:05:41.000 And now to the firestorm surrounding Springfield, Ohio, which has everything to do with this campaign.
01:05:46.000 A city thrust now into the political spotlight after baseless rumors and false allegations spread online about Haitian immigrants who are here legally claiming they are eating pets in that city.
01:05:58.000 We are learning of new bomb threats today.
01:06:00.000 There, on Friday, a bomb scare forced two elementary schools to evacuate.
01:06:04.000 Springfield's mayor now saying, quote, we need help, not hate.
01:06:09.000 This is a reference to those unproven allegations now being amplified by Donald Trump and his running mate J.D.
01:06:14.000 Vance in the race for the White House.
01:06:17.000 Now you probably heard that, or you heard Dana Bash when she interviewed, I say interviewed, Badger, J.D.
01:06:22.000 Vance, blaming him for the bomb threats, right?
01:06:24.000 You know, let's show that one.
01:06:25.000 Can you show the J.D.
01:06:26.000 Let's show a really short clip because, spoiler, again, they weren't real.
01:06:26.000 Vance one?
01:06:30.000 But go ahead.
01:06:30.000 I'm not talking about the policies.
01:06:32.000 I'm not talking about the very real challenges that Springfield has.
01:06:35.000 I'm talking about baseless rumors about Haitians eating dogs and cats.
01:06:42.000 And that, after that was said on a debate stage, that is when these bomb threats started.
01:06:48.000 And that is a fact.
01:06:49.000 So you heard, bomb threat, bomb threat, bomb threat, just like you heard, piece of glass from a prompter, no bullet wound on Donald Trump, just like you hear, no line of sight, you don't hear the other details, right?
01:06:56.000 But what you probably didn't know, unless you pay attention and watch the show, and we appreciate you for tuning in, and that's why we appreciate the support from Mug Club, because we're not beholden to engagement farming, is the Ohio governor said that actually all of the bomb threats, all of them, were hoaxes coming from a foreign country.
01:07:12.000 At least 33 separate bomb threats, each one of which has been responded to.
01:07:25.000 And each one of whom has been found as a hoax.
01:07:31.000 So, 33 threats, 33 hoaxes.
01:07:33.000 I want to make that very, very clear.
01:07:37.000 None of these had any validity at all.
01:07:40.000 We have people, unfortunately, overseas who are All right, so there you go.
01:07:53.000 And by the way, they should have been tipped off when they phoned in both a bomb threat and an order for broccoli beef.
01:07:58.000 Right now, on CNN, they're saying, patrolling troopers, patrolling Springfield schools after 30-plus bomb threats.
01:08:05.000 They're keeping the lie alive right now!
01:08:09.000 No mention of them being hoaxes and coming from overseas.
01:08:12.000 Right.
01:08:12.000 None.
01:08:13.000 Who are they thinking that it's coming from, though?
01:08:15.000 I don't understand the rhetoric.
01:08:17.000 I don't understand where the blame is going.
01:08:19.000 Yeah, yeah, it's Trump advances, fall for Amplified.
01:08:21.000 Right.
01:08:22.000 Well, who do they think is making the bomb?
01:08:23.000 Are they saying it's the Haitians?
01:08:25.000 They want to say it's radical right-wingers.
01:08:27.000 Radical right-wingers who are inspired by... Are bomb-threatening schools full of white, black, and Asian kids?
01:08:33.000 I don't really get it.
01:08:33.000 Yeah.
01:08:35.000 It doesn't make sense.
01:08:36.000 Well, that's their argument.
01:08:37.000 Maybe I should get rid of the migrants.
01:08:40.000 Ah!
01:08:40.000 Yeah.
01:08:41.000 So here's what we actually do know.
01:08:43.000 That this person, of course, was noted as a criminal, a person of interest, a rap sheet, a mile long.
01:08:51.000 This is someone who was radicalized because they were absorbing non-stop the rhetoric of Donald Trump.
01:08:56.000 I mean, just to give you an idea, this is just recently.
01:08:59.000 Let's just use this article, a recent article.
01:09:02.000 There's so many of them.
01:09:03.000 This is from the New Republic, okay?
01:09:08.000 This magazine cover directly linking Trump to Hitler.
01:09:12.000 It says, today we at the New Republic think we can spend this election year in one of two ways.
01:09:15.000 We can spend it debating whether Trump meets the nine or seventeen points that define fascism, or we can spend it saying he's damn close enough and we better fight.
01:09:24.000 Let me ask you this.
01:09:25.000 Would it not be the moral thing to do to kill Hitler?
01:09:29.000 What if he meant 9 or 17 of the points that define a fascist?
01:09:33.000 When you tell someone that this man is a genocidal maniac who's going to destroy democracy, those who are slightly unstable, of course, are more likely to commit violence.
01:09:44.000 The moral quandary of would you kill baby Hitler is only a quandary because Hitler's a baby.
01:09:47.000 No one says, would you kill adult Hitler if you could?
01:09:49.000 Because the answer is yes!
01:09:51.000 Every single time, yes!
01:09:52.000 Adult Hitler!
01:09:53.000 Every single day, twice on Sunday.
01:09:54.000 And you know how I know?
01:09:56.000 The left is more unhinged than the right as far as their violent nature.
01:09:59.000 We're going to go to our guests in a second.
01:10:01.000 We just covered it on this show.
01:10:03.000 You have science that makes it clear as to where life begins, and you have science that makes it clear as to where a baby is viable outside of the womb, and you have people killing said babies to the tune of tens of thousands a year, and you have Christian, fundamentalist, right-wing extremists out there who believe that that is the termination of a life, and they are still Not trying to kill people in record numbers.
01:10:30.000 Conservatives are a lot nicer.
01:10:32.000 Some may argue too nice.
01:10:33.000 That's not a call to violence, to be very clear!
01:10:35.000 When the left is calling to violence based on a myth, Donald Trump-Hitler, and the right isn't acting on violence based on the truth that babies are dying to the tune of tens of thousands a year, that's how you know you have two different worldviews.
01:10:49.000 That's how you know that, hey, hey, left, hey, hey, hey, today's left, maybe you're the bad guys.
01:10:55.000 All right.
01:10:56.000 Speaking of, well, good guys, actually.
01:10:59.000 This guy, you met him when you were at the RNC, I believe, in Milwaukee, and he's doing a lot of great work.
01:11:03.000 Phenomenal work.
01:11:04.000 Maybe single-handedly could tip the scales in favor of Donald Trump in the state of Pennsylvania.
01:11:09.000 You can follow him on X at Scott Pressler, and he also has the website EarlyVoteAction.com.
01:11:14.000 Let's welcome to the show, Scott Pressler.
01:11:21.000 Mr. Pressler, I'm sorry that we were late, sir.
01:11:23.000 Can you see and hear us?
01:11:25.000 Yes, I can.
01:11:26.000 Thank you so much for having me.
01:11:28.000 Well, I know the work that you've been doing, and actually, if you don't mind, I'd like to show a clip for the audience, for people who are not super familiar, because I know that you'll have a lot of them go to earlyvoteaction.com.
01:11:28.000 Absolutely.
01:11:38.000 I think we have a clip really quickly for those who are new to Scott, where he's doing work in swing states like Pennsylvania.
01:11:44.000 Hey everybody, this is Scott Pressler.
01:11:46.000 Oh my gosh, I'm here in Pike County in Milford outside of the post office.
01:11:50.000 We just set up a Trump table and the people, if you build it, they will come.
01:11:54.000 We are registering voters.
01:11:55.000 We are giving out Trump signs.
01:11:56.000 The energy is electric.
01:11:58.000 People are hanking.
01:11:59.000 They're coming around.
01:12:00.000 We just registered a guy that moved here from Colorado and he's coming to Pennsylvania, helping to save our country.
01:12:05.000 We can do this.
01:12:06.000 The energy is on our side.
01:12:07.000 The momentum, the passion.
01:12:10.000 That's right, baby!
01:12:11.000 Let's go!
01:12:12.000 Let's go!
01:12:13.000 We're gonna do this, guys, so give it your all.
01:12:16.000 Give it these next two months.
01:12:17.000 Do everything you can to save our country.
01:12:19.000 Let's win Pennsylvania.
01:12:20.000 Deliver it for Donald J. Trump.
01:12:22.000 Let's go!
01:12:24.000 And Scott, I wanted to ask because I, you know, obviously I work in this so people are coming up all the time on my radar.
01:12:31.000 And I know you came up with social media, but a lot of people sort of come up as social media influencers and then they fizzle out and they don't really do anything.
01:12:38.000 It's, you know, just outrage porn.
01:12:40.000 And you actually, you know, took the opportunity and started doing something quantifiable.
01:12:45.000 Can you explain for people out there kind of how you came into this and what it is that you do now?
01:12:53.000 Thank you.
01:12:53.000 Well, I got my start in Texas helping to elect Governor Greg Abbott, and so I've been doing this for a decade, but I think people really came to know my story in 2019 when President Trump was talking about the city of Baltimore, Maryland.
01:13:09.000 I'm the guy that went into the city and we picked up 12 tons of trash with 200 volunteers in one singular day.
01:13:19.000 And I think that put me on their radar because they thought, oh my gosh, this guy actually does something.
01:13:26.000 Yes, we're pointing out a problem, trash in the city of Democrat decay and their policies, but we're going to roll up our sleeves and do something positive about it.
01:13:38.000 And I think now people are really understanding how important voter registration is.
01:13:43.000 And so today, Stephen, is National Voter Registration Day.
01:13:48.000 And I want every single one of your Louder With Crowder followers, please, check your voter status today.
01:13:54.000 After you're done listening to Stephen, type into the internet, Pennsylvania, check voter status.
01:14:00.000 Texas, check voter status.
01:14:02.000 Make sure that you're an active voter.
01:14:05.000 Registered at your current address, and in a state like Pennsylvania, Florida, Arizona, with your preferred party.
01:14:13.000 So if you want to vote this November, especially for Donald Trump, then make sure that you're an active voter.
01:14:18.000 But it was really Baltimore that launched me, Stephen, and now I'm focused on delivering Pennsylvania for Donald J. Trump.
01:14:25.000 Well, let me ask you this though, because you said Texas, but I detect a Midwestern accent there.
01:14:30.000 Yeah, well, I'm actually moving to Pennsylvania just to vote for Donald Trump.
01:14:35.000 And so I've spent a lot of time in Wisconsin and Ohio and Pennsylvania.
01:14:40.000 But yes, I purchased property in PA because I want people to know how dedicated I am to the cause.
01:14:45.000 Do you say roof or do you say roof?
01:14:48.000 It depends where I am.
01:14:51.000 Yeah, you walk into the wrong bar in Wisconsin, you say roof, it stops like the old El Paso commercials.
01:14:56.000 New York City!
01:14:58.000 Let me ask you this.
01:14:59.000 Tell us more about Pennsylvania because that, you know, a lot of people are saying it could come down to Pennsylvania specifically.
01:15:05.000 I know there's a, obviously, is it Averson, Pennsylvania?
01:15:08.000 Is a place where you've been doing some work that specific town?
01:15:11.000 Tell people out there or educate them on kind of the consequences of Pennsylvania and the difference that people like you can make.
01:15:18.000 Well, let's break down the numbers for a second.
01:15:20.000 2020 was decided by 80,000 votes.
01:15:24.000 I want you guys to remember that number, 80,000.
01:15:26.000 So my contention is that there are more of us, more freedom lovers, than there are the liberals.
01:15:34.000 And so my goal isn't necessarily persuasion or conversion.
01:15:38.000 It's just to get our people out to vote.
01:15:40.000 There are 80,000 truckers, Steven, in Pennsylvania.
01:15:44.000 Truckers are driving on Election Day.
01:15:46.000 They're busy serving us, the American people.
01:15:49.000 And so my organization, EarlyVoteAction.com, we're trying to get truckers that may not be home on Election Day, vote by mail.
01:15:58.000 Vote early.
01:15:59.000 Lock in your votes.
01:16:00.000 Next, we have our beautiful Amish in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
01:16:05.000 These people are pro-school choice, pro-family, pro-raw milk, and Josh Shapiro, the Democrat governor, is actually waging a war on farmers' dairy and raw milk.
01:16:17.000 And so we are supporting the Amish to vote.
01:16:20.000 Now, here's something that people don't know.
01:16:21.000 The Amish, Stephen, get married on Tuesdays in November.
01:16:27.000 What happens on Tuesdays in November?
01:16:29.000 Election day!
01:16:31.000 And so we have been making a concerted effort to get the Amish to vote by mail, and we're seeing those numbers translate that Republicans have out-requested the Democrats in terms of mail-in voting in Huntington County and in Mifflin County where we have big Amish populations.
01:16:50.000 And two last points that I really want to make is, one, Veterans, Pennsylvania is home to the fourth largest veteran community in the entire country.
01:17:00.000 And veterans do not take kindly to stolen Valor Timewalls, nor do they take kindly to Kamala Harris attacking Gold Star families.
01:17:09.000 And the last most important point is there are 930,000 hunters in Pennsylvania.
01:17:15.000 30% of Pennsylvania hunters are not registered to vote.
01:17:22.000 That's the election.
01:17:23.000 Forty percent of Wisconsin hunters are not registered to vote.
01:17:28.000 That's the election.
01:17:29.000 Yep.
01:17:30.000 No, you're absolutely right.
01:17:31.000 It's a game of inches, and unfortunately there are too many people who are ambivalent about it.
01:17:34.000 But I wanted to ask you this about the Amish.
01:17:36.000 I know that in some Amish communities, many of them don't vote.
01:17:41.000 Is that something that you've run up against because, you know, they believe more in self-governance and not engaging politically?
01:17:46.000 And how do the communities differ?
01:17:49.000 Because not all Amish people are the same.
01:17:52.000 So some differ.
01:17:52.000 Correct.
01:17:53.000 We have some members of the Amish community that are being bad and kind of defying their bishops and voting anyway.
01:18:01.000 Okay.
01:18:01.000 Right.
01:18:02.000 I think they understand the significance and the gravity of the situation, but I've spent a lot of time with our Amish and Mennonites and listen, these are peaceful people that they believe their time here on earth is ultimately to get to the heavenly kingdom.
01:18:18.000 And so when I'm talking to them and they don't want to vote, I use language, for example, do not be so heavenly minded that you are no earthly good.
01:18:29.000 And I'm trying to put into perspective to them that while we're here on this earth, we must use our time to stop human suffering, to make life better for people.
01:18:39.000 And furthermore, I've spoken to some Amish that are vehemently opposed to voting because they believe that the commander in chief is the person that can start war.
01:18:48.000 And when I say, listen, President Trump is the peace president.
01:18:53.000 It was under his administration.
01:18:55.000 We didn't have new wars.
01:18:57.000 And so if you, I understand your religious beliefs.
01:19:00.000 I understand that you want peace.
01:19:02.000 There is no better way then to to make your voice heard and vote for peace by voting to
01:19:08.000 elect Donald Trump because we want to to have global peace through strength.
01:19:13.000 And when I talk about those things with the Amish we're seeing them register in
01:19:17.000 record numbers.
01:19:18.000 But how often do you get the answer like, well pretty wise for a city boy but cut your
01:19:21.000 hair and grow a beard? You know I've actually been better accepted with my
01:19:28.000 cowboy boots and my long hair and this pretty boy face than I have by liberals
01:19:35.000 The Amish have been nicer to me than many liberals, shockingly.
01:19:39.000 Yeah, that doesn't surprise me.
01:19:40.000 There used to be a comedy club in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
01:19:43.000 It was part of a hotel.
01:19:44.000 It was one of the first not-so-great gigs that I did.
01:19:48.000 I was worried because I had some Amish jokes back then, but they probably wouldn't show up anyway.
01:19:52.000 I'm assuming that paper ballots is what they would be using.
01:19:55.000 The Amish.
01:19:57.000 Yes, well, we have paper ballots in Pennsylvania.
01:19:59.000 Not everybody has voting machines.
01:20:01.000 And so that's the beauty of a mail-in ballot.
01:20:04.000 We are using the tool of the Democrat, a mail-in ballot, to get the Amish registered and get them to vote by mail.
01:20:10.000 And it may very well be the Democratic mail-in ballot that saves Western civilization via our raw milk Amish.
01:20:17.000 And that would just be beautiful and iconic.
01:20:19.000 Yes.
01:20:21.000 I know you've gotten some flack for that because people obviously... I am against mass mail-in voting, but I also understand if it exists there.
01:20:26.000 Absentee is different.
01:20:27.000 And of course, people are getting married that Tuesday.
01:20:30.000 That's... I mean, it's poor timing.
01:20:31.000 But I also understand, you know, you can't question the divine.
01:20:33.000 But yes, at that point in Pennsylvania, use the tools that you have available to you.
01:20:38.000 And I really do appreciate the work that you're doing there.
01:20:40.000 You know, we've tried to focus on these key states, and on election night we will have boots on the ground in every single Major city in the key swing states, and maybe we'll be able to touch base with you.
01:20:50.000 I'm sure you'll be on the ground in Pennsylvania.
01:20:51.000 Before we go, because I know we've run late, Scott, tell people the best place to go and take action.
01:20:58.000 Thank you.
01:20:59.000 Well, first, I invite you, Stephen, on November 2nd is the last Penn State University football game.
01:21:05.000 We would love for you to come to Center County, Pennsylvania.
01:21:08.000 People can visit my website, which is EarlyVoteAction.com.
01:21:13.000 That's EarlyVoteAction.com.
01:21:15.000 I have a state director.
01:21:17.000 I have 40 staff.
01:21:19.000 If you want me to hire more staff, then please contribute financially at EarlyVoteAction.com.
01:21:24.000 Absolutely.
01:21:24.000 Now, I know nothing about football, but Gerald is a Notre Dame guy, and I assume that they are rivals, Gerald?
01:21:29.000 Eh, we don't really play Penn State all that often.
01:21:31.000 All right.
01:21:31.000 Oh, okay.
01:21:32.000 That's okay.
01:21:32.000 Well, if I were to show up, they'd probably beat me.
01:21:33.000 It'd be an iconic game, trust me.
01:21:35.000 The Penn State home games are insane.
01:21:36.000 All right.
01:21:37.000 Well, I'll consider it.
01:21:38.000 I need to learn the names, positions, and the team, because I know nothing about it.
01:21:43.000 But, Scott Pressler, thank you much for your work.
01:21:45.000 We'll check back in with you before election, and hopefully have some positive updates for us.
01:21:51.000 Hey, thank you, Steven.
01:21:52.000 Thanks, Dad.
01:21:53.000 Absolutely.
01:21:53.000 Scott Pressler, everybody.
01:22:00.000 I'm sorry, and I don't mean to... I think I got it.
01:22:02.000 Did he just say thanks dad?
01:22:04.000 Thanks for having me, I think, real fast.
01:22:05.000 Have, have, dad, have, have.
01:22:07.000 It's not like the N-word thing that we had earlier where we couldn't really make the word sound right.
01:22:11.000 No, I don't mind being his dad.
01:22:12.000 No, I'm just saying, like, he didn't say thanks daddy or anything like that.
01:22:16.000 It was, I think, thanks for having me.
01:22:18.000 It sounded like thanks dad.
01:22:19.000 I mean, that's fine.
01:22:20.000 It's actually very, it's very complimentary.
01:22:21.000 I wouldn't be like, and you're a disappointment.
01:22:24.000 Cut your hair and get a job.
01:22:26.000 I should have never come back from those cigarettes.
01:22:29.000 No.
01:22:31.000 It sounded like thanks, Dad.
01:22:33.000 I think it did sound like that.
01:22:34.000 I think maybe he watched the show and was making it for you to slip joke.
01:22:36.000 Well, and I know that we were running late.
01:22:39.000 That's what I like to think.
01:22:39.000 He seems like a pretty cool, fun guy.
01:22:41.000 Yeah.
01:22:41.000 Oh, wait.
01:22:42.000 Is he still on?
01:22:42.000 He just called me Poppy.
01:22:43.000 Okay.
01:22:44.000 I think it sounds like that's actually what he meant.
01:22:46.000 We actually have some updates here regarding Mug Club, but we do need to go there if you can click that button.
01:22:50.000 Gerald, you had some updates?
01:22:52.000 Yeah, we're going to get there.
