Gerald Spinnigan is crowned "Chef Master" in the final episode of the season finale of "Ladies and Gentlemen's Home Cooks" and we discuss abortion, weed, and the N-word.
00:06:51.000I don't think there's any hate in his heart.
00:06:53.000I don't think he meant to go out and say something racist.
00:06:56.000All of that said, It's a rough go for Rich Lowry.
00:07:01.000I 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.
00:09:33.000Virgin 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.
00:09:48.000Having 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.
00:10:06.000That's tough coming from a lady dressed like the parachute we played with in the schoolyard.
00:11:55.000You 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.
00:12:59.000Uh, look, we have to venture into this here because this is making the rounds.
00:13:05.000Dave Portnoy of Barstool Sports makes a lot of good points sometimes, and I understand the point that he's making here.
00:13:10.000So 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.
00:13:28.000I think they were at that point because at one point no one was allowed to use it and we were too far one direction.
00:13:34.000But 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.
00:13:45.000So this is the founder of Barstool Sports, Dave Portnoy.
00:13:47.000He put out this video pleading with Floridians to, you know, legalize all marijuana.
00:13:56.000Listen, it's Sunday afternoon, football on TV, pizza on the way, in Massachusetts, smoking a little weed, just enjoying my day.
00:16:13.000And this is a big one, and I've been hearing this, right, when we were growing up, of course, weed was not legal.
00:16:17.000And 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...
00:16:25.000They care about liberty, and then they're like, we can tax it.
00:16:38.000Oh, it'll put drug lords out of business.
00:16:41.000These were the arguments that were often used.
00:16:43.000First one is that it brings in huge tax revenue.
00:16:45.000Legalizing 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.
00:16:58.000Now 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.
00:17:12.000I 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.
00:17:22.000The truth is, yeah, Yeah, it's increased tax revenue.
00:17:25.000So, in 2022, states that were taxing marijuana collected a total of around $2.9 billion in revenue.
00:17:32.000Here's the thing though, 40% of that revenue was offset by reductions in alcohol and tobacco tax revenue.
00:17:38.000And here's something that people don't tell you, the increased net costs in a lot of ways.
00:17:43.000It's hard because a lot of people don't have these numbers directly side by side.
00:17:47.000But 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.
00:17:57.000on letting people know how they could responsibly handle drugs.
00:18:00.000They had a significant number of overdoses. They had to deal with costs
00:18:04.000with pollution as far as, you know, drugs and trash being left in the streets.
00:18:09.000And you also have here in the United States some increased costs. For example,
00:18:11.000substance use disorders. It's been up about 17 percent since legalization.
00:18:30.000You 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.
00:18:43.000And 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.
00:19:08.000I 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.
00:19:15.000Just say that you want to go and get high.
00:19:24.000You could be smoking right next to a family if you wanted to.
00:19:27.000There 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.
00:19:35.000There's some easy rules you can put in place.
00:19:37.000Yeah, there are absolutely some easy rules that you can put in place.
00:19:39.000And by the way, in Florida, it's the same thing as Texas.
00:19:41.000He could easily go get a can of not just Delta 8, Delta 9 THC.
00:19:46.000And 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.
00:20:00.000It's legal to purchase anywhere across the country now, or at least I believe pretty much anywhere.
00:20:04.000There 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.
00:21:37.000But they took something people engaged in, a majority of society drank, and tried to ban it.
00:21:42.000That'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.
00:21:54.000Alcohol was never viewed as harmless, and we didn't tell kids to go out and binge drink.
00:22:57.000They said for a long time that legalizing it would actually decrease illicit drug use.
00:23:01.000The 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.
00:23:13.000Now, I can't definitively make the claim that it has increased overdose deaths.
00:23:18.000What 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.
00:23:31.000They've more than doubled, and here's actually a study that I believe comes out of Columbia.
00:23:37.000Adults 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.
00:23:47.000Not saying that's because of marijuana!
00:23:49.000But 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.
00:24:00.000It's like, hey, I'm going to give you this, and it's going to shrink your cancerous tumor.
00:24:04.000And you come back, you say, I actually got twice as big twice as fast.
00:24:11.000You 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.
00:24:18.000That's when they started legalizing it.
00:24:20.000And 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.
00:24:28.000But 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.
00:24:37.000There are people here who can't handle psychotropic drugs that are written by prescription!
00:24:42.000Here's another claim that has been sold to you.
00:24:45.000That legalizing marijuana will reduce crime.
00:25:04.000Researchers 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.
00:25:15.000You also see, by the way, a lot of people thought you would do away with the drug trade.
00:25:19.000Actually, more people are purchasing illicit, I guess, drugs.
00:25:24.000Black 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.
00:25:34.000For example, we did that piece in Oklahoma with farms that were basically owned by foreign Chinese entities, right?
00:25:40.000In 2023, Oklahoma produced 64 times the amount of marijuana that residents could consume, and so it's trafficked to other parts of the country.
00:26:29.000Everyone 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.
00:27:20.000So, 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.
00:27:55.000You don't see that for wheat or oranges or nectarines or anything.
00:27:59.000You don't see that in any other product.
00:28:01.000There is definitely a criminal element embedded in this community like no other agricultural product that we have.
00:28:08.000Well, 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.
00:28:18.000If one thing's for sure, I'm sure that drug addicts are going to pay a little bit extra and taxes for their drugs.
00:28:24.000Yeah, 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?
00:29:39.000Now, in comparison to other drugs out there, of course.
00:29:43.000And in comparison to alcohol just as it relates to overdose deaths, yes, that is absolutely true.
00:29:49.000But 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.
00:29:58.000I think there's a different... So, is it completely harmless?
00:30:03.000And there are, to be clear, medicinal uses for marijuana.
00:30:42.000Like fentanyl and codeine and morphine.
00:30:44.000Dravet syndrome, someone can correct me here, that's the seizure disorder that's pretty rare with kids.
00:30:48.000CBD does seem to help with that quite a bit.
00:30:50.000And CBD has a lot of benefits, by the way.
00:30:53.000And 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.
00:31:03.000Just be honest about what it is that you're doing.
00:31:06.000It's all about marketing these days, Josh.
00:31:09.000My 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?
00:32:12.000That being said, this is an issue where There are pros and there are cons.
00:32:17.000And 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.
00:32:56.000I just don't like it when folks lie about it.
00:32:58.000I 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.
00:33:10.000My 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.
00:33:21.000Like, you didn't think... Dude, I... Look, I smoke a little weed, okay?
00:33:24.000And 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.
00:34:44.000That could be alcohol. That could be anything, right?
00:34:46.000So I would say those same, those principles are already there and in place to guide our behaviors. Right, right.
00:34:52.000I don't need a law necessarily taking away rights from everybody to make sure that I feel like those things are taken care of.
00:34:59.000And 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.
00:35:06.000You can't say- Well, it seems like it did slow it down because usage has gone up.
00:35:09.000In other words, once you legalize it, usage does go up.
00:35:11.000No, 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.
00:35:20.000Now, I know once you legalize it, you make it easier for people to get.
00:35:22.000You're probably going to increase the usage somewhat.
00:35:39.000I 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.
00:35:45.000For example, I think open alcohol container laws in a car are complete horse crap.
00:35:55.000They still do in New Orleans or in Louisiana, yeah.
00:35:57.000If 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.
00:36:06.000I think it gave Moms Demand Action, Mothers Against Drunk Driving, more power than they deserved.
00:36:10.000I think the spirit of the law is you do not put other people at risk because of your bad decisions.
00:36:15.000And 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.
00:36:22.000That being said, harsher penalties for DWI.
00:36:24.000Really quickly, go to CNN. I want to catch this lower third.
00:36:27.000I'm sorry. I'm sorry. The IDF, bad-a-mother-evers, right?
00:36:32.000So what they were basically saying is exploding pagers are killing Hezbollah members.
00:36:39.000Oh my God, that sucks for them, because they were so excited to finally have pagers.
00:36:46.000Literally, there's... Look, I'm sorry, but if you're a terrorist animal... There was a second.
00:36:50.000There 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.
00:37:30.000You 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.
00:37:39.000Then they got called, like, a thousand wounded!
00:39:39.000and hey by the way we're not able to do any of this if you guys don't uh...
00:39:43.000join Mug Club to be clear That's why we're able to have these discussions and talk about not only abortion, but whether it's a popular opinion or not, you know exactly where your dollar goes.
00:40:01.000You get all the other shows on the network, of course you support the Mug Club Undercover Unit, and of course you get the shows on Friday, so you know exactly where your dollar goes, and this wonderful hand-etched girthy mug, you can't get it any other way.
00:40:12.000We do need you between now and election because we've had a target on our back, and you know what?
00:40:16.000We will get some people to be like, you know what, I'll let you until you said that weed was not completely harmless unsubscribed.
00:41:45.000Georgia right now, there was a story recently First off, let's set this up.
00:41:50.000Democrats believe that abortion is the winning issue for them and the losing issue for Donald Trump.
00:41:54.000Okay, you can comment below as to whether you agree with that.
00:41:57.000I 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.
00:42:06.000These are questions that I think need to be asked for you to Actually have a valid opinion.
00:42:11.000For you to hold a valid opinion on abortion, you need to be able to answer when life begins.
00:42:15.000You need to be able to understand viability of a baby, both in and outside of the womb.
00:42:19.000And none of these qualifications require a vagina.
00:42:23.000I just want to be very clear because I'm a white male today.
00:42:44.000Out 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.
00:42:57.000According 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.
00:43:05.000This initial reporting focuses on the story of just one of those two patients, Amber Thurman.
00:43:10.000She was a 28-year-old single mother of one.
00:43:13.000You can see a picture of her right there.
00:44:38.000So we're no longer having a discussion about whether you're ending a life.
00:44:43.000Because there was, there were mass protests over saying, all right, let's just put limitations on 20 weeks.
00:44:50.000No, and now you can still do it up to 24 weeks, according to Planned Parenthood, if there are exceptions.
00:44:55.000Of course, you know, these exceptions become broader and broader.
00:44:58.000Here'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.
00:45:22.000I 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.
00:45:34.000You have been told that abortion is safe.
00:46:43.000Had 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.
00:47:19.000There'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?
00:47:34.000Sorry, at this point, and you know what?
00:47:36.000I 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?
00:47:46.000You're not enough to correct the ranks of women right now in this country.
00:47:51.000You know what's never happened in the history of Western civilization?
00:47:56.000An issue like this that has progressively gotten more and more contentious being solved by women.
00:48:05.000You 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.
00:48:19.000There's nothing novel about this procedure.
00:48:21.000Complications had taken place and we're blaming it on Trump.
00:48:32.000And 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.
00:50:38.000In Western civilization right now, in the United States of America, there are not enough women who can stand up and correct this problem.
00:50:43.000And 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.
00:50:51.000That's not the case the majority of the time in 2024.
00:50:55.000You have people who know that it is the termination of a life, and they can't be bothered with it anyway, with the responsibility.
00:51:04.000This is legislating a complete lack of accountability.
00:51:08.000And 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.
00:51:17.000The 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.
00:52:42.000It's got a brain, got a heart, beating fingers, nails.
00:52:44.000No, 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.
00:52:56.000But as far as that fetal chart, and this is when people go, you know, these women are lied to.
00:53:13.000We 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?
00:53:20.000You know who else won't give you a limit?
00:53:22.000Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, Hillary Clinton.
00:53:24.000They've been asked point blank, no limits whatsoever.
00:53:28.000Abortions are being performed at 5, 6, 7 months to the tens of thousands in this country.
00:54:16.000There has to be the personal responsibility here.
00:54:19.000And stop with, I don't know what got into our culture and started infecting it saying, you can do whatever you want consequence-free.
00:54:26.000And 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.
00:54:36.000Because I can't just go out and have an abortion anytime I want.
00:54:39.000Even if it's six weeks, even if it's five weeks, whatever.
00:54:41.000Even if it's the morning after, right?
00:54:43.000Any of those situations, all you have to do is have more personal responsibility and more regard for life and you avoid it.
00:54:49.000And our culture right now preaches the exact opposite.
00:55:02.000But, 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?
00:55:32.000And 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.
00:55:38.000They're choosing to not look at that and go, that's a child.
00:55:41.000I agree a hundred percent, but I think they're being lied to saying you can do whatever you want.
00:55:44.000Consequence 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.
00:56:12.000You 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.
00:58:13.000You've silenced people with penises for too long and you haven't been able to solve your own issues on this.
00:58:18.000And now you're blaming Donald Trump for a woman Who had unprotected sex for at least the second time.
00:58:27.000I'm willing to bet quite a bit more than that.
00:58:29.000Who couldn't be bothered to drive a few hours on time for the abortion procedure.
00:58:33.000And 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?
00:59:48.000Now, 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.
01:00:01.000So during a press conference, the Secret Service actually gave you some of these further details on assassination attempt of four plots, number two.
01:00:12.000As 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.
01:00:29.000The subject, who did not have line of sight to the former president, fled the scene.
01:02:25.000In 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.
01:02:31.000Who would you call it if you caught some kids and bicycles in front of the house with cartons of eggs?
01:03:44.000The 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.
01:03:55.000And so what they want to do now is say, this is an attempt to say, oh, there goes Donald Trump.
01:04:09.000If 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.
01:04:16.000But it's not victim blaming when a man is shot!
01:04:58.000We can't go back and give this very dangerous man another chance to do harm to our country and the world.
01:05:08.000And then of course they asked Donald Trump to tone down his rhetoric.
01:05:10.000Let's be really clear about what's taking place right here.
01:05:12.000The 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.
01:05:25.000Yes, 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.
01:05:41.000And now to the firestorm surrounding Springfield, Ohio, which has everything to do with this campaign.
01:05:46.000A 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.
01:05:58.000We are learning of new bomb threats today.
01:06:00.000There, on Friday, a bomb scare forced two elementary schools to evacuate.
01:06:04.000Springfield's mayor now saying, quote, we need help, not hate.
01:06:09.000This is a reference to those unproven allegations now being amplified by Donald Trump and his running mate J.D.
01:06:14.000Vance in the race for the White House.
01:06:17.000Now you probably heard that, or you heard Dana Bash when she interviewed, I say interviewed, Badger, J.D.
01:06:22.000Vance, blaming him for the bomb threats, right?
01:06:49.000So 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?
01:06:56.000But 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.
01:07:12.000At least 33 separate bomb threats, each one of which has been responded to.
01:07:25.000And each one of whom has been found as a hoax.
01:09:08.000This magazine cover directly linking Trump to Hitler.
01:09:12.000It says, today we at the New Republic think we can spend this election year in one of two ways.
01:09:15.000We 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.
01:09:25.000Would it not be the moral thing to do to kill Hitler?
01:09:29.000What if he meant 9 or 17 of the points that define a fascist?
01:09:33.000When 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.
01:09:44.000The moral quandary of would you kill baby Hitler is only a quandary because Hitler's a baby.
01:09:47.000No one says, would you kill adult Hitler if you could?
01:10:03.000You 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.
01:10:33.000That's not a call to violence, to be very clear!
01:10:35.000When 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.
01:10:49.000That's how you know that, hey, hey, left, hey, hey, hey, today's left, maybe you're the bad guys.
01:11:28.000Well, 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.
01:12:24.000And 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.
01:12:31.000And 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.
01:12:53.000Well, 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.
01:13:09.000I'm the guy that went into the city and we picked up 12 tons of trash with 200 volunteers in one singular day.
01:13:19.000And I think that put me on their radar because they thought, oh my gosh, this guy actually does something.
01:13:26.000Yes, 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.
01:13:38.000And I think now people are really understanding how important voter registration is.
01:13:43.000And so today, Stephen, is National Voter Registration Day.
01:13:48.000And I want every single one of your Louder With Crowder followers, please, check your voter status today.
01:13:54.000After you're done listening to Stephen, type into the internet, Pennsylvania, check voter status.
01:16:00.000Next, we have our beautiful Amish in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
01:16:05.000These 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.
01:16:17.000And so we are supporting the Amish to vote.
01:16:20.000Now, here's something that people don't know.
01:16:21.000The Amish, Stephen, get married on Tuesdays in November.
01:16:31.000And 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.
01:16:50.000And 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.
01:17:00.000And veterans do not take kindly to stolen Valor Timewalls, nor do they take kindly to Kamala Harris attacking Gold Star families.
01:17:09.000And the last most important point is there are 930,000 hunters in Pennsylvania.
01:17:15.00030% of Pennsylvania hunters are not registered to vote.
01:18:02.000I 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.
01:18:18.000And 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.
01:18:29.000And 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.
01:18:39.000And 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.
01:18:48.000And when I say, listen, President Trump is the peace president.
01:20:21.000I 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.
01:20:31.000But I also understand, you know, you can't question the divine.
01:20:33.000But yes, at that point in Pennsylvania, use the tools that you have available to you.
01:20:38.000And I really do appreciate the work that you're doing there.
01:20:40.000You 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.
01:20:50.000I'm sure you'll be on the ground in Pennsylvania.
01:20:51.000Before we go, because I know we've run late, Scott, tell people the best place to go and take action.
