On this episode of Crowder Bits, the Hodge twins discuss the Joe Biden rape allegation, the Democratic National Convention, the Harvey Weinstein scandal, and much, much more! Crowder Bites is a podcast about the intersection of politics and pop culture. Hosted by John Rocha ( ) and Matt Knott ( ), and produced by Rachel Goodman ( )
00:03:00.000Is he just really an enthusiastic sniffer?
00:03:04.000Did Michelle Obama, who has the access to the FBI DOJ?
00:03:08.000All of the intel throughout the criminal world had no idea that Harvey Weinstein was shopping every single Woman and, uh, girl who he was casting?
00:03:17.000I don't know, I mean, I don't know how she lost it.
00:03:19.000Yeah, and it was an open secret, so I mean... Yeah, I mean, when Seth MacFarlane is joking about it, Michelle Obama's like, I had no idea.
00:04:39.000Are you like Timmy and Tommy Tibble, you pee together?
00:04:41.000No, I thought it was a twin thing, because he'd come up to me and say, man, how did that chicken, the way that I can't see that spice, oh, it came out like fire.
00:05:03.000They're not into sci-fi unless Billy Dee Williams is in it.
00:05:07.000So, Conservative Twins, Hodge Twins, so we'll be talking, and also, by the way, I should let you know, we called Mashable about the remonetization.
00:05:15.000You know, they made some claims that we were selling these shirts that we had never sold in our lives.
00:05:40.000The International Alleged Rape Federation meeting, which is really weird because it seems like you wouldn't have a federation if it's alleged.
00:07:28.000No, I think that was just all the blood rushing to his member.
00:07:32.000So, last night, the Democratic National, whatever, they, I don't need to give them the, because they rate federations, so why do I need to give them the pomp and circumstance?
00:07:44.000They nominated an alleged sex offender, Joe Biden, while of course providing a marquee time slot to a, not alleged, known sex offender apologist, Hillary Clinton.
00:07:55.000Donald Trump says we're leading the world.
00:07:58.000Well, we are the only major industrial economy to have its unemployment rate tripled.
00:08:04.000At a time like this, the Oval Office should be a command center.
00:10:17.000So, Bill Clinton claimed, just to be clear, we're talking about Joe Biden, Hillary Clinton, you know, we know about Bill Clinton and Juanita Broderick, we know about Bill Clinton and Monica Winsky, we know about Bill Clinton and a lot of people.
00:10:26.000Now, Bill Clinton said, as it related to Jeffrey Epstein, that he only flew on the Lolita Express, the rapist plane, the rape plane.
00:10:56.000Most Americans, right, if they don't work, if you're not a road warrior, most Americans travel on average like a handful of times per year.
00:11:03.000So the argument that must have slipped his mind 25 or 27 times, depending on which call log you use, to Americans out there, provided that you don't work on the road, you know, up in the air, need not apply to this.
00:11:15.000Can you think of any airline in the last few years that you've flown on 26 times?
00:11:23.000But why would he want to minimize his association with Jeffrey Epstein?
00:11:26.000He's just trying to build up those log hours.
00:11:29.000That would be like three free flights with Delta.
00:11:32.000Or think about it, American, Delta, United, Southwest, or like Vince Young.
00:11:37.000That's like Vince Young when he bought every single seat on Southwest.
00:11:39.000He didn't realize he could have flown private.
00:11:42.000Vince Young scored less than statistical random on the quarterback intelligence test.
00:12:04.000Do you use the same airline all the time?
00:12:06.000No, I don't use the same airline every single time.
00:12:08.000So, a lot of the times I do fly one airline because of the proximity in that particular region.
00:12:12.000But, you know, when you look at the Road Warrior, you know, kind of question, even if you're on the road all the time, I mean... You'd remember it.
00:15:50.000Subscriptions don't really go in people's subscription boxes.
00:15:52.000So you gotta hit the notification bell.
00:15:54.000We have this show every weekday morning here at 10 Eastern.
00:15:58.000I always want to say 9 because we're in Central.
00:16:00.000Tomorrow evening, we are closing out the DNC with 80s theme night, so tune in, we're going to have a hashtag, we're going to have a party, we're going to have drinking games, and we're going to be fact-checking Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and whoever else.
00:16:11.000I don't think we have anything prepped for Tammy Duxworth, but it'll be fun.
00:16:15.000We'll probably just cut to the truth according to Smooth Manny at that point.
00:16:18.000We have some other stuff, because who gives a rat's ass about Tammy Duxworth?
00:16:36.000They basically ended up cutting the interview short, where someone was making a very valid point, kind of the point that half the country would be thinking.
00:17:39.000If you want Republicans to vote for Joe Biden, having Bill Clinton talk about character and not having drama in the Oval Office, is that the right answer?
00:17:46.000How far back are we going to relitigate it?
00:18:00.000Like, you walk around Michigan, they have a little bit, you know, they might say roof instead of roof, but then you have a governor, Whitmer, and her, or the former Michigan governor, Graham, and they're like, well, you know, back in Michigan, as a matter of fact, what are you just, are you getting dialect lessons from Michael Moore?
00:18:35.000So, they say it's settled decades ago.
00:18:37.000Well, it really wasn't settled decades ago.
00:18:39.000We have new pictures and I would think it's relevant, considering that if you watch the Epstein files on Netflix, they show that picture with Donald Trump like three, four, five times.
00:18:47.000Donald Trump didn't travel on the Elite Express.
00:18:57.000In other words, the story, rather than just a picture of Donald Trump at a party, right, I'm sure you could find a picture of Donald Trump at a party with all kinds of unsavory characters.
00:19:05.000You know, probably you have Jeffrey Epstein, Bill Clinton, Lina Dunham, they all show up at these Met Gala's.
00:19:10.000The point is that's not the same as traveling on his plane and going to his sex island repeatedly and denying it.
00:19:16.000Donald Trump booed at Epstein for Mar-a-Lago.
00:19:18.000That guy, that guy does something I don't like, namely that he does kids.
00:19:23.000That's what I think Donald Trump said.
00:19:26.000And how does Bill Clinton not get me too'd when Aziz Ansari has a bad date?
00:19:31.000I don't like the DSSR's politics at all.
00:19:33.000That's a bad date when you look at it.
00:19:35.000How does he not get me too'd when at the very least, at the very least, what we know, what he denied under oath and then admitted to, abusing his power as the President of the United States on an intern, even if she was willing, right?
00:19:48.000This idea, regretful PNV is what's taught, is rape.
00:19:51.000Well what about the President of the United States exerting his power over you to get a BJ underneath the White House desk?
00:20:00.000Yeah, and that's just what we know about all this other... We also know he just dropped his pants and walked up to... I mean, you can search Jennifer Flowers, you can search Juanita Braddock.
00:20:07.000We know that he made uncomfortable advances, and we know that he had extramarital affairs with people who worked for him, and we know that he denied it under oath.
00:21:13.000Bill Clinton hasn't apologized for that, but he did apologize for the racist policies that he put into place that set back black communities for decades that he put into place when he was president.
00:21:23.000Just a couple years ago he came out and he admitted that he screwed over the black community for decades because of the policies he put into place.
00:23:00.000So this, we obviously see the coverage, but it does bother me when you see people who just say, oh, the media's biased.
00:23:04.000So this is a new segment we're going to be introducing.
00:23:05.000I wanted to actually go to another story where you see the difference in coverage, not just Bill Clinton and the rapist convention known as the DNC.
00:23:14.000But something just recently happened with a man being beaten within an inch of his life.
00:23:23.000We'll get to it in a second, but we're going to compare it with another story that everybody remembers in a new segment we call Then and Now.
00:24:34.000By the way, I want to continue this with then and now, but I was just talking about this.
00:24:38.000You know, Joe Louis, which by the way is really surprising because you guys used to be afraid of dogs and you're petting Joe Louis.
00:24:43.000The correction word for Joe Louis is no, right?
00:24:45.000So like, say you hear if I say, hey, I'm going to take him for a walk, you have to say W because he recognizes the word.
00:24:49.000And when he does something you don't like, you say no, so you correct him.
00:24:52.000But I realized that the uninitiated people who hear me and my wife talking to the dog will say, hey, no, if he doesn't listen, say the N word.
00:25:01.000So someone here, say the n-word to the dog named Joe Louis.
00:25:05.000In context, my favorite boxer ever, and he came to us with some scar tissue, looked a little bit like Joe Louis, and said, you know that's a good name for a dog, Joe Louis, and we're saying n-word meaning no, but that is something that definitely could be, you know, a cancelable offense.
00:26:33.000At least some of the students were from Covington Catholic High School in Kentucky.
00:26:37.000The Catholic Diocese of Covington, which oversees the school, said... We condemn the actions of Covington Catholic school students towards Nathan Phillips, specifically, and Native Americans in general.
00:26:48.000We extend our deepest apologies to Mr. Phillips.
00:26:50.000This behavior is opposed to the church's teachings on the dignity and respect of the human race.
00:26:57.000He's also said the matter is under investigation and that some students could be expelled.
00:28:20.000They got into their truck, the mob tried to chase them down to their truck, and then the driver crashed the truck, and then there was a Black Lives Matter activist.
00:28:26.000And this is why, by the way, I think a lot of conservatives are cowardly out there when they say Antifa.
00:28:31.000Like, listen, that's why we switched the sign from Antifa to Black Lives Matter, because they're one and the same as far as tactics, but people are afraid of calling out Black Lives Matter for fear of being called racist.
00:28:41.000Black Lives Matter, the organization and people who subscribe to that philosophy, that worldview, I believe that they are part of or supporting a domestic terror organization by definition because of the violence that is often encouraged and used and at the very least Not actively condemned in these cities across the country.
00:29:00.000Sometimes, but not at the heads of the organizations.
00:29:51.000Everyone remembers that, and they were totally wrong.
00:29:53.000They have egg on their face, and so, of course, they never really issued a full correction or traction, except, well, I guess you could consider $80 million one hell of an addendum.
00:30:16.000How about, uh, the man was beaten within an inch of his life.
00:30:19.000When you consider that Mashable made up stories, or The Verge, uh, regarding us that didn't even, basically stories with quotes that we never made, and, uh, stories that never even actually happened from places that we've never been, you would think that they could get this right.
00:30:32.000Like, how about including a quote where he said, yeah, take it, racist, and then immediately called him the N-word.
00:30:37.000That's a quote that I think would interest people.
00:30:41.000So he kicked the guy who said the N-word?
00:30:56.000And the way the headline reads, it's not really clear if he was one of the demonstrators or if... The demonstrators were the ones who were committing the violent acts.
00:31:31.000So let's go back to then with the Sandman story of the Covington kids.
00:31:34.000When the truth did come out with the full footage, and again, this is important because what matters is not only when they get a story wrong, but what do they do to correct it.
00:31:41.000And we'll be showing that call to Mashable we made yesterday in a little bit, so I hope you enjoy that.
00:33:53.000Um, Washington Post, after they knew all this, they went with a story, well, it's more complicated, that was their headline, more complicated than we initially thought, which really means, like, we screwed up, you trusted us!
00:34:03.000USA Today, Covington Catholic videos show life is complicated, but we still saw what we saw.
00:34:15.000Did you see that they were basically saying all white people go to hell?
00:34:18.000When you look at black Hebrew Israelites and you look into their theology, much like Black Lives Matter, the organization, this is a black supremacist organization.
00:34:24.000It's entirely predicated on the idea that Jesus was black, therefore white people is the devil.
00:35:47.000It was on the corner of a place called Hopcat.
00:35:50.000And these black Hebrew Israelites were always out there.
00:35:51.000And they have this sign, and it has a picture of just You know, it kind of looks like the Alaska Airlines thing, because it looks like an Afro.
00:35:57.000They have a sign that looks like a black gentleman.
00:36:00.000At this point, it was kind of, not quite house party, not quite Afro, but it was a little higher on the top than the signs.
00:38:39.000It's funny too, whenever you see them reading verses out of the Bible and then they interpret what it means, I'm like, that's totally not what it means.
00:39:27.000When you say, when Nick Cannon says that white people have no soul, or don't have soul, meaning the ability, I guess, to sing, dance, I don't know, because of melanin, that is actual racism.
00:39:37.000And I want to be clear, I don't think that Joe Biden is a racist, I don't think that Donald Trump
00:39:41.000is a racist, because people on the right, they're trying to say Joe Biden is a racist, they're
00:40:57.000You can say it if it's a white guy who's bleeding out, I guess.
00:41:00.000I don't understand the rules here, and I don't understand why the media doesn't feel that it's their responsibility.
00:41:04.000We used to have America's Most Wanted.
00:41:05.000Get John Walsh's white ass on it, for crying out loud.
00:41:08.000The whole point is, if the media cannot be used to protect more innocent lives from being harmed by a violent criminal on the loose right now, what purpose do you serve?
00:41:22.000The whole point is the news that's fit to print, the news that people should know, the news that can impact people's lives.
00:41:28.000Well this is someone who beat the crap out of somebody who's in the ICU as far as we know right now, has been ID'd, not by you of course in the media, and you could save, you could protect other American lives, black and white alike.
00:41:41.000Why doesn't that fall under the purview of the media's responsibility?
00:41:46.000If he was white and he was kicking a black guy.
00:42:14.000Apparently, it's more important than finding out, oh my gosh, there's someone on the loose in my town who's kicking people's asses in the street.
00:42:40.000Okay, so that leads us into the next segment here.
00:42:44.000It is going to be time to tell YouTube.
00:42:46.000We are really quickly going to go to the Mashable call that we made yesterday, because there's a lot of referencing authoritative sources that also reference authoritative sources, and there's no actual original source.
