On today's show, we have an interview with a mom whose son is getting a Nerf gun for Christmas, and we talk about the Pope and how he should go to hell. We also discuss a video that shows a mall Santa trying to ruin a little boy's Christmas because he doesn't like Nerf guns.
00:00:42.000I'm not going to be doing Santa the whole day, but as you can see, I've got everything going on, the dye, the beard.
00:00:47.000We're going to get to this pretty quickly.
00:00:49.000I will be interviewing the kid from the mall yesterday, you know, that commie Santa tried to ruin Christmas by telling him that he wouldn't give him a Nerf gun.
00:00:57.000So today on the show we have the mom, what's her name, Sabella?
00:01:02.000The son's name is Michael, and he's going to get a cornucopia of firearm-related toys, activities, and just general trinkets, tchotchkes, because Santa, folks, in case you don't... Santa, unless you thought that I'd forgotten because of my outfit, Santa's strapped, too.
00:02:20.000And we'll be doing an Ask Me Anything next week with an ultra long stream, so anything you want to ask, We'll have like nine hours on the road.
00:02:42.000And this is something that also matters, because Christmas is important.
00:02:45.000Christmas is a really valuable time to teach kids about morality, and more importantly, that guns are not immoral objects, that firearms can be used to actually protect people.
00:02:55.000I guess I should say first and third chair, Audio Wade is here.
00:05:56.000But there we have a positive collage of Santa with a gun.
00:05:59.000Because for the longest time in this country, we understood That guns weren't an inanimate object.
00:06:06.000It's a rich and storied part of our history.
00:06:08.000I was raised in Canada where nobody I ever knew had a handgun except for one guy who had a war relic in the magical closet of mystery, which was very dangerous because a kid showed it to me when his dad wasn't around and we had no respect for it whatsoever.
00:06:20.000That gun was so old, hadn't been oiled, that bullet would probably hit you sideways first, but the point remains.
00:06:49.000That's why they take an interest in things like Swiss Army knives, and guns, and power tools, and wood-burning sets, which that is an absolute fire hazard.
00:07:01.000The reason for it is because they want to have some semblance of power, and it's a wonderful teaching opportunity to teach your young men how to bridle that power, how to use that power to protect the vulnerable, how to use power and wield it for good, kind of like we did, using firearms to free the slaves.
00:07:20.000But instead, because moms go, No, no, no, no.
00:07:30.000Because the second they get a little bit of power, they wield it over anyone weaker than them.
00:07:36.000How many bullies do you think had parents who took them through proper firearm safety training with their Red Rider?
00:07:43.000Yeah, the left wing looks at those old images of Santa holding the gun and says, remember back in the day before we learned that guns hurt?
00:11:15.000This is something people haven't been talking about.
00:11:19.000He's going to present the oral arguments if the Supreme Court takes up the lawsuit seeking to, obviously we know, overturn the 2020 presidential election.
00:11:30.000Texas Senator Ted Cruz telling Fox News exclusively, quote, Petitioner's legal team has asked me whether I would be willing to argue the case before the Supreme Court if the court grants certiorari.
00:11:40.000I have agreed and told them that if the court takes the appeal, I will stand ready to present the oral argument.
00:11:49.000He's not a guy you want one on your tail.
00:11:58.000Also keep in mind that we are not past the 37 days, I guess it's not even a deadline, but 37 days that it took for the Al Gore Florida debacle to reach the Supreme Court.
00:12:09.000Yeah, and it's like, if everybody who's talking about voter fraud is a conspiracy theorist, is Ted Cruz a conspiracy theorist for wanting to talk to the Supreme Court?
00:12:16.000He seems to have a pretty high standard for what evidence is and what truth is.
00:13:53.000This has been going on in Michigan, and I just watched this segment this morning on CNN, and it is everything wrong with the media and how they are covering people who understand their constitutional liberties right now.
00:14:02.000I think we have the first clip, right?
00:14:04.000The first clip, there were people in Michigan who were petitioning the Secretary of State to stop the steal.
00:14:52.000So this brought up the Michigan Attorney General who was talking about this on CNN, and talk about gaslighting, where they just say no evidence.
00:14:59.000There was a segment called Reality Check.
00:16:07.000Cover of darkness comes in handy when burning down the Walgreens.
00:16:10.000You cannot trespass, you cannot threaten people, you cannot disrupt, you know, noise ordinances or engage in disorderly conduct and call it protected First Amendment activity.
00:16:25.000We're going to be on the lookout for this kind of behavior.
00:16:30.000Police, when they arrive on the scene, start issuing tickets and potentially arresting people in the event that they are committing crimes.
00:16:36.000And as State Attorney General, I intend to vigorously prosecute.
00:16:40.000Now, first off, as far as intending to vigorously prosecute, she said the First Amendment doesn't protect crimes.
00:16:46.000She has not, from what I've seen, there's no record of her prosecuting any of the Black Lives Matter protesters or Antifa protesters, who, by the way, across the country have committed billions of dollars in damages.
00:16:55.000Dozens of fatalities, thousands of injuries, nothing at all.
00:17:01.000But when people have some signs and some bullhorns, apparently now you need a permit.
00:17:32.000Not only are they going to the residential area, They went through a fence, they were on private property, and you charge the people in their own house just for showing their firearm collection!
00:17:56.000And by the way, just to give you an idea while she's talking about this now, she's playing tough.
00:18:00.000When Trump offered to send in the National Guard to help with the protests, this lady, female Voldemort, responded.
00:18:05.000She said, President Trump's politically motivated threat to send more federal law enforcement to Detroit, among other cities, has nothing to do with protecting public health or safety.
00:18:13.000It is about using the power of his office as a cudgel to punish those who use their constitutionally guaranteed rights to express views he disagrees with, in contrast with arresting people for signs.
00:18:57.000In Grand Rapids alone, it was over $500,000 in overtime.
00:19:01.000Just the overtime for the police force.
00:19:03.000And by the way, those are the same people that are probably complaining right now that there's not a relief package for all the businesses that are closed.
00:24:52.000And they have to specifically coach doctors right now On the two-course vaccine, to get people to stay with the second course because the first course is so wildly unpleasant, they've described it like a hangover from hell.
00:25:05.000Splitting headache, chills, feeling fever, fevery body ache, that people won't come back for the second course.
00:25:11.000So right now they have to spend time, right, in orientation with doctors saying, people are going, it's way worse than most vaccines and it's particularly bad for young people.
00:25:20.000People who often are not affected by the disease nearly as seriously.
00:25:24.000So to not get sick you have to get extremely sick?
00:25:32.000Especially, by the way, that research found that clinical symptoms they manifest in only 21% of infections from 10 to 19.
00:25:37.000That means that 79% of middle schoolers, they have no symptoms of COVID, and then most of the remaining are very mild symptoms.
00:25:45.000So when you compare that with feeling like Cameron and Ferris Bueller for a Three and a half days, it's reasonable for some people to say, you know what, okay, I'll leave the vaccine for the vulnerable, and maybe I don't have a week to take off work.
00:26:00.000I know you think that people can take off work indefinitely, and there's a never-ending pile of money from Scrooge McDuck's mansion, but that's not how it works!
00:26:08.000Yeah, it is clear the left doesn't want anybody to be able to make a decision for themselves, and be able to weigh the risks of certain behavior.
00:26:15.000They have to take away the consequences of your actions, even if their evaluation of the situation is totally backwards.
00:26:29.000And I think that many people should use the vaccine.
00:26:33.000But to act as though someone in this scenario might feel uncomfortable, particularly a young person, understanding the side effects, might opt to not take the vaccine, that they're a crazy anti-vaxxer, that's just unreasonable and not fair.
00:26:47.000And what if they use the same reasons that the left has used before, where they're like, well, I don't really trust Donald Trump's administration to be able to coordinate this, and I don't think that it should have been rushed by Trump or by all of this sort of process.
00:26:59.000Now they're complaining that Donald Trump didn't order more Pfizer vaccines, which, by the way, was because of competition and other companies bringing more vaccines to market that didn't want to just order all of them from Pfizer.
00:27:11.000That's fake news, I won't even spend any time on it, but you guys said you didn't want any vaccines if it came from the Trump administration, so you can go fornicate yourself with a wire brush.
00:27:19.000Before we continue, we have so much to get to today, why the Pope is a communist, and I'm really looking forward to interviewing this young man.
00:29:13.000So Pete Davidson was on SNL mocking, and keep in mind too, as they mock down in the United States, this is a perfect example of where things that shouldn't be political, now I'm not a centrist and I've been very clear when people say, it's not propaganda because I let you know that I am to the right of center, in many ways to the right of Attila the Hun.
00:29:51.000Good example of this, when I was in Canada, I was in Quebec where we had liberals and liberal separatists.
00:29:56.000The conservative wing of the Canadian political spectrum, a parliamentary system, which is broken.
00:30:01.000When people say, two-party system, man, I go, you can have a prime minister elected with a minority of the vote, so trust me.
00:30:06.000It's not a flawless system, but it's better than what they have in old Europe and in Canada, with the Queen still on our money.
00:30:12.000They didn't have the housing crash in Canada.
00:30:15.000So even though they're all liberal and they have like a 50-something percent tax rate and you have socialized healthcare and you have a 15% sales tax, when this was brought to the attention of Canadians, they said, yeah, we're going to give people loans and mortgages with crazy low interest and people who can't afford to pay it back.
00:30:37.000Just like the World Health Organization said no, you can't just do lockdowns because it's not political.
00:30:41.000But in the United States, it has been turned into if you oppose lockdowns that end livelihoods forevermore, you must be a rube and an anti-vaxxer like a Chris Cuomo.
00:30:52.000Here is Pete Davidson, the only name I recognize at SNL, mocking his fellow countrymen.
00:30:58.000I take it that you found these protests frustrating.
00:31:00.000Yeah, man, they're making us look like babies, you know?
00:31:03.000You know it's bad when even people in Boston are like, ah, drink at home, you queers!
00:31:25.000By the way, just so you know, Pete Davidson still has a job, and he's being paid $15,000 an episode, which sounds like a lot, but I actually know that's very... SNL is hurting, because I know quite a few SNL cast members from back in the day of the Dennis Miller era, the Norm era, the Spade era, and they were starting at salaries higher than that, and Pete Davidson's been there for what, five, six years?
00:31:46.000Yeah, he is one of the only recognizable names from the cast.
00:33:52.000Think about it when you're seeing SNL and you're seeing them bomb that's with a crowd animator going And they have money in their pockets from the show!
00:34:41.000You have a guy who is employed, and he can make it work through a loophole, and you see this in California.
00:34:46.000And so now, let's go to a response from one of the actual citizens who suffer under these lockdowns, who don't make 15,000 an episode like Pete Davidson in the great city of...
00:35:32.000And by the way, only black people can say that.
00:35:33.000Marc Lamont Hale once said that all prisoners were political prisoners, and you've gotten in trouble for that because of this idea of mass incarceration.
00:35:39.000Take it up with Harris, sweetheart, your vice president-elect.
00:35:41.000today talking about a political prisoner who was the victim of, in my view, a political ambush.
00:35:47.000And by the way, only black people can say that. Mark Lamont Hale once said that all
00:35:50.000prisoners were political prisoners and you've gotten in trouble for that because of this idea
00:35:53.000of mass incarceration. Take it up with Harris, sweetheart.
00:35:55.000You're vice president-elect. I say that facetiously. This is... what I love, he's like, they're
00:36:55.000You are compassionate only to the lowest common denominator, the people who took out loans for underwater basket weaving or Afro lesbian centric feminist studies.
00:37:04.000You know who's going to be mad about that?
00:37:43.000They're compassionate to the zeros, to the non-contributors who think that it is empathetic for them to be able to stay home indefinitely while the people who keep our economy alive take it on the chin.
00:38:01.000I have a friend from church in Canada who's a teacher and all he does is post on social media about like, I had to clean my desks and I wasn't paid for overtime.
00:39:20.000Now let's keep in mind that this Pope has said that Christians should never seek to convert unbelievers and that tax cuts are a sin if the wealthy get them.
00:39:28.000And he compared Trump's immigration policies to King Herod's massacre of children.
00:40:25.000Some groups protested, refusing to keep their distance, marching against travel restrictions.
00:40:30.000And he writes this, as if measures that governments must impose for the good of their people constitute some kind of political assault on autonomy or personal freedom.
00:41:11.000Stalin didn't say, here's what we are going to do is we're going to take over farms and then no one will have food so that we have no base for economy.
00:41:30.000Here's what he said, we did not build this society in order to restrict personal liberty, but in order that the human individual may feel really free.
00:41:41.000It is difficult for me to imagine what personal liberty is enjoyed by an unemployed person who goes about hungry and cannot find employment.
00:41:49.000Real liberty can exist only where exploitation has been abolished, unless it's coming from the state.
00:41:55.000Where there is no oppression of some by others, unless of course you're talking about twenty-something million dead.
00:42:02.000Where there is no unemployment and poverty that work like a charm.
00:42:05.000Where a man is not haunted by the fear of tomorrow being deprived of work, of home, and of bread.
00:42:12.000Not only were they deprived of work, home, and bread, they couldn't even find the wheat or the yeast to make the bread.
00:42:17.000You hipsters with your stupid yeast starters, I don't know when that became a trend, but you wouldn't have had that under Stalin.
00:42:22.000So if, according to the Pope, we're supposed to take everybody at their word, we're supposed to evaluate policies by their stated motives, and not by their consequences, that's very short-term thinking, and it's not how adults think.
00:43:02.000Mao killed tens of millions of people for the good of the people.
00:43:06.000They still basically make pilgrimages when people try and go and visit the Mao land sites.
00:43:10.000Here's actually an article from the Guardian where it says, shedding tears as he saw Mao's rubbery cadaver up close for the first time.
00:43:17.000Huang told the newspaper, Our generation has a very deep attachment to Mao who created a harmonious society in which people could trust each other with no tricks at all.
00:43:28.000By the way, when you have someone saying, like, he made such a great society with no tricks now, it means there's probably some tricks.
00:45:17.000I think they said something about open up business so they could help people who lost their income.
00:45:22.000You're missing the scary American flags, Steven.
00:45:25.000That was really scary, unless you're a country who is under tyrannical rule and the only thing you're hoping for, seeing over that hill, is the American flag and the sounds of our scary black rifles.
00:45:49.000So again, the Pope's saying that you won't see the same people protesting business closes as you would maybe a George Floyd protest or something.
00:46:25.000These are all, again, Marxist, Communist assumptions that the Pope just gets to go get away with.
00:46:30.000Here's another one he says in his 22 time-reviewed book, that restrictions necessary for people's protections amount to an unjust demand of an interfering state.
00:46:40.000There are politicians who peddle these narratives for their own gain.
00:47:10.000So when you say that they... What do these business owners stand to gain on a massive scale other than, again, providing income and food for their families?
00:48:05.000And actually, you enter in your insurance information.
00:48:07.000And then it shows you where you can get a better rate because a lot of people get locked into insurance for years and don't realize that there are better rates elsewhere.
00:49:08.000I looked at it and I was like, really?
00:49:09.000Just because I've been paying insurance for a very long time and then they don't give you the discounts because you just get used to paying for insurance.
00:49:14.000So gabby.com slash Crowder and because you enter in our URL you will get it for free.
00:50:34.000Alright, we have on the line with us Sabella, I hope I'm pronouncing that right, DiCarlo, and the husband, who you don't see in the video, Michael DiCarlo, who's also a police officer.
00:51:42.000I've got to imagine it would take everything in your strength to not beat Santa's ass and ruin the spirit of Christmas for all the other kids there.
00:52:34.000Yeah, consoling him and then, you know, hoping to call Santa over for a little minute.
00:52:38.000You know, for me, what's remarkable is when I was a kid and I used to go to mall Santas, I don't know about you, but they always used to say very general things because they don't know the parents' budget.
00:52:45.000Like, well, be a good boy and we'll see what you get under the Christmas tree.
00:52:49.000Not, you know, have you been to momsdemandaction.org?
00:52:53.000I mean, you know, so that alone was surprising to me.
00:53:21.000Well, he did visit Santa last year, but he was three and didn't really understand.
00:53:27.000The magic wasn't as intense as it is this year.
00:53:29.000So we continued with the picture for, I don't even know what reason, but then we just left and bought him a bunch of stuff at the mall.
00:53:37.000Well, and that's also challenging, too, right?
00:53:39.000Because you want it to be a surprise for your kid, but Santa puts you in that scenario where he says, I'm not going to get you a Nerf gun, where you almost have to say, hey, hey, hey, hey, don't worry, you'll get a Nerf gun, and then you also lose the surprise of Christmas.
00:53:50.000So there's a litany of things that he did wrong.
00:54:03.000That's what my parents would tell me to, and that's why when I talk with your son here, and I want to make sure I have him, he's four years old.
00:54:08.000I've got some information here for people who are watching so we can help with the magic of Christmas.
00:55:06.000I've got to imagine you have to balance, obviously, being responsible as a parent, but being incredibly protective.
00:55:11.000And, you know, people talk about sort of the moments that you have, like graduation, or, you know, a wedding, or obviously the birth, but These are also experiences as parents that are unique.
00:55:22.000You know, the first time where a kid is cognizant of Santa.
00:55:54.000You're gonna bring your son, and we will be sending a cornucopia of Nerf guns, and if you could send us... Now, Nerf guns, are there anything else?
00:56:35.000After we finish the program, we can get in touch with you guys and maybe, specifically, if there's someone you can think of in your neighborhood or maybe your church or your community who we could help and isn't a pink Okami who hates Nerf guns.
00:56:48.000We can help them, you know, we can spread it around and if there is of course any I
00:56:53.000would like to do something special for your son as well even if it's just one
00:56:56.000small sort of token so that I can I can feel like you know we will graciously
00:57:43.000It wouldn't be surprising in a couple years if the kid is asking for a BB gun.
00:57:46.000You know, I was talking about this earlier.
00:57:48.000Kids used to ask for those a lot younger and it was never considered immoral.
00:57:51.000You know, the reason, and Michael, you probably know this, I was talking about young boys The reason they're interested in guns and Swiss Army Knives is they're powerless.
00:58:02.000And a power tool, a power wheels, a little Nerf gun or a BB gun, a Swiss Army Knife, makes you feel like you can even the playing field a little bit.
00:58:10.000And my parents use it as a teaching opportunity.
00:58:13.000When I got my BB gun, my dad took me out with it and treated it like a real firearm.
00:58:18.000When I got my Swiss Army knife and they weren't looking and I was whittling and we had a cheap Swiss Army knife
00:58:22.000because we didn't have that much, so it was dull, but not dull enough to give me a paper cut nonstop.
00:58:26.000The point is my dad tried to teach me proper respect of these powerful tools.
00:58:30.000And it's amazing that someone decided to take it upon themselves.
00:58:34.000But Michael, you remember what that's like as a boy?
00:58:35.000You're never gonna stop boys from playing cops and robbers.
00:59:49.000Thank you for making time on the show, and thank you for being so considerate.
00:59:52.000You know, listen, this is a perfect example of checking your privilege.
00:59:55.000Not because someone's guilting you, but saying, hey, we're blessed enough to be able to provide this for our kids, and maybe we can bless others.
01:01:12.000And I understand that you're a fan of me, Santa, and you had a little bit of a run-in with one of those helpers at the mall who hadn't been vetted properly yesterday.
01:01:29.000That's right, Bad Santa, who didn't pass the chemical test beforehand, but we've taken care of that.
01:01:37.000And as the real Santa, I understand that you know the rules of engagement here, that you've been a very... Have you been a good boy this year?
01:01:49.000Okay, now I know that you're a fan of boxing, just like old Santa here.
01:01:55.000You like boxing and you're a big fan of Rocky Balboa.
01:03:39.000You know, when you get big and strong like your dad there, who's a policeman who helps keep us safe right now when there are some tough times in the United States, people like your dad out there keep us safe because they learn how to use their firearms and their hands to protect the innocent, right?
01:03:57.000You promise Santa right now that as you get big and strong, you'll only use that to help people, right?
01:05:02.000We had to get rid of them at the North Pole.
01:05:05.000I don't know if you know this, but Santa actually has used firearms for a very long time and also, of course, always taught and encouraged firearm safety.
01:05:15.000Did you know that during World War II, Santa Claus taught people about firearm safety and how to use guns properly?
01:05:23.000No. You know, Santa even right here, the thing, when I travel on my sleigh up north, sometimes we get bears, or we
01:05:35.000get something, you know, that could hurt Santa's reindeer.
01:05:38.000So Santa, old Saint Nick, packs a heater.
01:05:42.000Would you like to hear the story about the time that my peace saved my reindeer?
01:05:47.000Would you like to hear the story, Michael?
01:10:07.000But I tell you what, if I didn't have to work full-time as the bastard that I am to make sure everyone here is still gainfully employed, I would love to be a mall-store Santa.
01:10:45.000This is why we need more dads in the house.
01:10:47.000This is why kids need a mommy, a daddy, and they need to be in the house because that kid right there, I believe if I'm not mistaken, they're in Chicago.
01:10:57.000Some kids there have a rough situation in Chicago.
01:11:00.000But that's That's two parents who care about their kid, and statistically, that will do more for him than any school could, than any forgiveness of student loans, than any socialized health care.
01:11:11.000Nothing is going to give that kid a leg up more than a mom and a dad and maybe a Nerf gun underneath his bedroom blue Christmas tree this year.
01:11:20.000Everyone who's been watching, let me know, too.
