In this episode of HARDASSIC, Steven Crowder is joined by his good friend Gerald A. Brody to discuss why the Vatican is a communist crap hole and why libertarianism is dead. They also discuss why Gerald's daughter is afraid of going to bed at night and how to soothe her to sleep.
00:02:16.000Look, let me issue a disclaimer before we get to anything today.
00:02:19.000I am going to be discussing the Vatican, okay?
00:02:21.000And why the Vatican, right now, is a communist crap hole.
00:02:24.000Now, to be clear, And I've talked about this before, and it relates to the Communist Chinese Party because of the Vatican's cozy relationship with them.
00:02:32.000I love the Chinese people, which is why I hate the Communist Chinese government.
00:02:36.000I have a lot of love for practicing Catholics, Bible-believing Catholics, of course, who exist throughout the... That's why I have a problem with the political corruption in the Vatican.
00:02:44.000So just to be clear, And if you could do me a favor, if you're a Catholic and you understand the difference, hit that like button.
00:02:52.000But understand this is not targeted towards practicing Catholics, but the people in the Vatican who have, would I say, corrupt general malfeasance, who've been engaging in general malfeasance as it relates to the Communist government of China.
00:03:08.000We'll also be talking about why libertarianism is dead, because I know a lot of you got mad when I discussed that with Alex Jones, and I don't apologize for it.
00:04:47.000But before we get to that, we have to watch something here really quickly, because Russia right now, you know, Ukraine, all of the... There's been a lot of stuff going on with them, and we're supposed to really care.
00:04:59.000I'm not going to lie, when it's one corrupt craphole fighting another corrupt craphole, the best you can hope for is a double knockout, okay?
00:05:07.000And I get that the citizens are caught in the crossfire and your heart breaks for them, but I just don't think that we should be involved.
00:05:12.000And the irony is not lost on me that I'm about to do a segment on why libertarianism doesn't work, because I am a non-interventionist as a general rule.
00:05:19.000I support Donald Trump when he said, no more wars unless we take the oil.
00:09:53.000But also about the statements of some high-ranking representatives of the leading NATO countries about the possibility and permissibility of the use of weapons of mass destruction, nuclear weapons, against Russia.
00:13:00.000We're gonna do a segment on that tomorrow, the American military, that we're missing our recruitment numbers and it's because the exact kind of people who you want to be in the military, who used to go into the military, now are disgusted by it.
00:13:10.000But we have a bunch of gender-bending... whatever.
00:14:27.000You know what, comment below if you or anyone you know has been making the old soul food recipe of NyQuil chicken because apparently enough people have been doing it or there have been enough trolls that the FDA has had to release a statement saying that it's a bad idea.
00:14:44.000So apparently there is a TikTok trend right now where people are cooking, if you want to call it that, their chicken and cold or flu medicine like NyQuil.
00:14:54.000Now because this trend has taken over a ton of headlines and been talked about all over social media, doctors are warning people to not do this for several reasons.
00:15:03.000One, you're likely taking way more than the appropriate dose.
00:15:06.000And two, if you're not cooking the chicken properly, you could give yourself food poisoning.
00:15:10.000And three, this one's the most obvious to me, it sounds completely disgusting.
00:16:34.000So the FDA, they stepped in, they warned, boiling a medication can make it much more concentrated, that's the point, and change its properties in other ways.
00:16:42.000That'd be like walking up to people who are distilling, you know, who are making, like, the honey oil from pot, and be like, no, no, no, no, no, no!
00:17:44.000You're always in violation of German law.
00:17:45.000By the way, I think the Robitussin thing started as just a, let's see if we can get people to, not Robitussin, sorry, NyQuil, let's see if we can get people to buy this, and now the FDA's coming out and it's like, yeah, you took the bait again.
00:19:13.000What always happens with this is, this is what I would encourage you to do.
00:19:16.000Like I say, if nothing else from this show, we make all of our references publicly available.
00:19:19.000You can check the description below, or go to lateralthecutter.com, is when you see this, you know right away that the leftist artillery, the battle machine, what the blood machine is going to be in full
00:19:32.000swing. Okay, I was trying to think battle regalia, I'm like that's the that's the dress. Battlestar
00:19:36.000Galactica. Yeah, Battlestar Galactica, beats bears. No, you know that they're going to come out
00:19:39.000and write what the question you need to ask yourself is, okay, what is the strongest argument
00:19:44.000that the left is going to present to try and either say this isn't a concern or to try and
00:19:50.000say that it's directly related to COVID?
00:19:53.000Now, the lazy argument is they'll probably say these are COVID deaths.
00:20:00.000My guess is they will try and say, and this is sort of unfolding as I send this, we don't have all the information.
00:20:06.000I need to dive into the data more deeply.
00:20:08.000They'll try and say, well, these are auxiliary deaths that still are somehow related to COVID, something like long haul or while completely missing the points due to lockdowns, people were unable to or Hospitals being overburdened, they were unable to see patients for other significant health care issues.
00:20:32.000Come back tomorrow, but I want you to write down, and I mean this, get a little notepad, go analog, write down what you think the strongest arguments are that we will be hearing as to why there are an abnormal amount of excess deaths that cannot be accounted for by COVID alone.
00:21:30.000We were at 97 yesterday, so... I'm just saying!
00:21:34.000I'm trying to make sure the audience gets the right info and you don't get the... Yeah, I know, but what I'm saying is I remember when we moved to Texas and I got heat stroke, it was 110.
00:22:27.000Now if you look at what I believe, and you look at where I would sort of line up on policies, I certainly would lean much closer to the libertarian side of the spectrum, but I don't like using the word.
00:22:37.000The reason for it is when you have, throughout time, like Greg Gutfeld, Bill Maher, Glenn Beck, and the Reason Magazine people all claiming to be libertarians, what does it mean?
00:22:48.000And then when you watch the libertarian debates, it's just a bunch of people with lisps arguing about weed and cryptocurrency.
00:22:55.000I don't think there's a whole lot there for me, but I do believe that originalist sort of federalism, conservatism, certainly lines up more with libertarianism.
00:23:03.000But we do find ourselves right now at a point in this country where it can't possibly function, and let me explain to you why.
00:23:10.000This is before we get to the Vatican story.
00:23:12.000Libertarianism is a preventative measure.
00:23:15.000It works if you set it up from a framework of small government and you maintain it.
00:23:23.000And right now we are at a point in this country where a preventative measure like libertarianism, you can't fight something aggressive, meaning thousands of pages of new legislation each day by saying, well, there shouldn't be any.
00:23:48.000The problem is there really are no free markets in the biggest industries that exist in the world today.
00:23:54.000And really when you look at one of the few legitimate purviews of government, it is to protect us from threats, both external and internal, and to ensure that everyone is playing by the rules that might harm somebody.
00:24:05.000And certainly now when you look at the organizations, we'll get into big tech, big banks, airlines, health insurance companies, they are causing direct harm to the American citizens and they are doing so with carte blanche from our federal government.
00:24:45.000And since it's a slow news day, this is why we're going a little bit macro, and you know, bear with me.
00:24:48.000These are things that circulate in my mind all the time, and we don't always necessarily get to hit it if we're under the tyranny of today.
00:24:54.000This is a framework that I think everybody needs because I get a lot of messages, and
00:24:58.000especially when we do these live shows.
00:24:59.000I will be in Nashville and we'll just go to loudmouthcutter.com.
00:25:02.000We get a lot of people afterwards who come up and say, well, as a small government conservative,
00:25:07.000how do I sort of reconcile that with the idea of needing to do something with big tech?
00:25:18.000A political philosophy maintaining that all persons are the absolute owners of their own lives and should be free to do whatever they wish with their persons or property, provided they allow others the same liberty.
00:25:27.000There's nothing there with which I disagree.
00:26:05.000Okay, now first off, let me just say, I disagree with that as it applies to conservatism.
00:26:10.000I understand the idea that libertarianism is, you know, people might be low on the empathy scale.
00:26:13.000I will tell you, I am a conservative, I'm a constitutionalist, I'm a federalist, because I am hyperly empathetic.
00:26:18.000I look at the people of Venezuela, I look at the people of, you look at the people under Stalin's regime, you look at the people under Castro, currently when we're talking about Venezuela, I mean, take your pick, China.
00:26:28.000I look at them and I say, it's never possibly worked.
00:26:30.000So you may see in the short term saying, well, you don't want to extend a hand.
00:26:46.000It's the only one that allows for compassion, because government is never compassionate because they're dealing with numbers that are too big to be compassionate.
00:26:52.000You're not dealing with one, you're dealing with thousands, millions of people, and so you can't be compassionate with that.
00:26:57.000And that's why you see leftist individuals, they donate far less to charity than conservatives.
00:27:01.000The single two biggest determining factors, I think it was Brooks wrote this, a book called Who Really Cares, if I'm not mistaken.
00:27:07.000Guys in the edit bay, you can let me know if that's right, discussed who gave the charity.
00:27:12.000And the single biggest determining factors were your faith, religion, and your political persuasion.
00:27:19.000Because you have Nancy Pelosi saying, no!
00:27:21.000The empathetic thing is to have open borders and to give all the money to government and less than 1% to charity and, yeah, go weed-whack my lawn.
00:27:29.000That's how they It's rules for thee and not for me.
00:28:19.000Here, let's go to this, a few examples.
00:28:22.000You are at a point now where the libertarian argument can't apply when you're talking about big tech.
00:28:26.000When you're talking about these giant non-government entities that have more influence over the government and over your life than even the government would be justified in exerting.
00:30:37.000That's political, and you're not allowed to speak out against that.
00:30:39.000Now, let me give you a more specific example.
00:30:41.000Zuckerberg also emailed Dr. Fauci personally in March 2020 to collaborate with the NIH to ensure, quote, people get authoritative information from reliable sources.
00:30:53.000Not to mention, of course, Facebook's decision to ban the 45th president until at least 2023 for public safety concerns.
00:31:08.000When people say, go create your own Facebook, how do you do that?
00:31:11.000How do you do that when the head of Facebook, sorry, Meta, is directly emailing Dr. Fauci, the highest paid government official who's never been elected?
00:31:18.000Dr. Fauci's never been elected by you, he's not even your representative, and he's talking with Zuckerberg to give them marching orders Who can control what you say.
00:31:26.000Nothing about that is emblematic of a constitutional republic.
00:31:29.000And nothing about that can be solved through a preventative measure like libertarianism.
00:32:07.000Well, Facebook can do whatever it wants.
00:32:09.000Well, because when you're saying Facebook can do whatever it wants, the libertarian in you is saying, Dr. Fauci, Joe Biden, Hunter Biden, Kamala Harris, Jean-Pierre, they can do whatever they want.
00:32:19.000You're not talking about a private entity.
00:32:22.000Well, and it's funny because Mark Zuckerberg, you know, his solution to say, oh, we're not as bad as Twitter over there.
00:32:26.000We didn't actually ban the story and make them, you know, go silent for 10 days while their account was banned.
00:32:32.000We just shadow banned it so nobody knew that we were making it to where you didn't see it pop up in your news feed.
00:32:37.000And so it was a significant reduction in the spread of this information that potentially, according to polls, not me, Could have changed the outcome of an election.
00:32:45.000It absolutely would have changed the outcome of the election, according to Biden voters.
00:32:50.000According to Biden voters, 12% of them I believe, I'm going by rote, said it would have changed my vote if I knew about the Hunter Biden laptop story.
00:32:57.000That switches all of the swing states.
00:33:33.000But banks are not separate from the government.
00:33:35.000If you look at banks and you look at hedge funds, they manipulate the economy, for example, to short stocks.
00:33:41.000Before we even get into the bailouts, remember Robinhood?
00:33:43.000Remember they stopped the purchasing of GameStop stock because Redditors were boosting it?
00:33:48.000Now you might not like what Redditors were doing, but guess what?
00:33:51.000That was a free market, it was a bunch of people who came together, and then the banks said, well, hold on a second, this is too powerful, so we need to make sure that someone steps in from regulatory affairs to stop you from playing the game that we have already rigged.
00:34:07.000They sided with a hedge fund, and several hedge funds really, that were shorting GameStop, and driving the price down, and basically people said, that's not fair, we don't like that.
00:34:16.000And Robin Hood steps in and says, it doesn't matter if you like it or not.
00:34:35.000Also, when it comes to charitable giving, the characteristic most likely to increase giving was marriage, but then also Republicans do donate more than Democrats, and also religious practice is the behavioral variable most consistent with generous giving.
00:36:28.000And sometimes that even involves roles in your intelligence committees.
00:36:32.000The CIA, the FBI, think about that for a second.
00:36:35.000Think of the path from working for a company that gives 74 million dollars to a politician and follow that little trail, right, like follow the asshole trail, the back of a kid's placemat, and you end up, say, deputy director.
00:37:39.000They tried to say, keep in mind, under Jimmy Carter and under Barack Obama, they tried to gaslight you and say, no, no, the economy's great.
00:37:45.000Everyone knew that it wasn't the case.
00:37:47.000You even have the biggest detractors of Donald Trump saying, well, what's the economy worth when you have someone who brings shame to us on an international stage?
00:37:53.000The reason why the market wins out, the banks will do fine no matter what, it's that the average American was doing better.
00:38:00.000The banks could be doing better if the average Americans were doing slightly worse.
00:38:04.000The banks could be, even though they're making tons of money, hand over fist, billions of dollars going to these CEOs who, by the way, are glorified managers, they're not actual business owners, they say, but we could make more billions if we create a permanent class of renters.
00:38:17.000We could make more billions if the average salary under Donald Trump, the average salary, went up like $5,000.
00:38:22.000I think under Barack Obama, the first, was it eight years?
00:40:06.000All except for three with a conscience.
00:40:07.000Now we go on to Visa, MasterCard, American Express, who, by the way, have received billions of dollars in bailout money.
00:40:12.000They're now all going to track gun purchases using a new purchase code, which, by the way, could be provided to the government, considering that private data has been given over to the government by these companies in the past.
00:40:20.000Let's look at airlines, one of your favorite businesses, I'm sure.
00:40:25.000They're beholden to the government after receiving over $54 billion in bailouts, and I think that's even just the most recent round with COVID-19 relief.
00:41:23.000So a collusion between them, all the banks, all the big credit card companies, multiple corporations and special interest groups, airlines.
00:41:50.000The point is we are at a point where it's not something that you can simply solve through free market alternatives because they have been locked down and that can only happen through the corruption that has taken place between the government and these corporations.
00:42:04.000The irony is not lost on me that we do need some fighters in government to try and roll this back because it cannot simply be solved through the free market at this point.
00:43:08.000So now we'll move on to, now that we've offended Libertarians and Russian soldiers, there's one Russian soldier watching through VPN, he's like, I used to be fan!
00:43:23.000I'm using Starlink from Elon Musk capture from Ukrainians no longer!
00:43:28.000I get people sometimes going to be like I used to be a fan until you and then they talk about how I offended them on their thing yeah like I used to be a fan until you said women weren't funny well today you've clearly proven me wrong so let's Move on to- hit the like button if you think that women in general aren't funny.
00:43:47.000Now, it doesn't mean they can't be funny.
00:43:59.000Again, to be clear, I need to reiterate this again because sometimes you'll get Catholics, you'll get various- this is just like when I talk about the communist Chinese government.
00:44:06.000When I say I cannot stand the Chinese, I mean the government, not the people.
00:44:09.000Same thing, I'm here, I'm talking about the Vatican.
00:44:11.000Not even just the Pope, I'm talking about the Vatican.
00:44:16.000Bible-believing Catholics who I think want better!
00:44:18.000From the people who are their international representatives.
00:44:21.000If you're Catholic, I would love to hear from you in the comments.
00:44:23.000I genuinely would, because I have some friends who are Catholic.
00:44:26.000Actually, this segment, I worked with one of our researchers who is Catholic, who's absolutely livid about the situation with the Vatican and the Pope.
00:44:34.000So many are, and I know we're going to hear from them.
00:44:40.000The Vatican, the Pope, they've basically Abandoned this Hong Kong Cardinal.
00:44:47.000Yeah, and I need to sort of get into the ins and outs here It's a little bit nerdy all the references are available at loudestcracker.com where they have signed a deal They've signed a deal with the devil and what they have done with China The Vatican so let me set this up in Hong Kong.
00:45:00.000You have a Cardinal Joseph Sen He's on trial for why assisting pro-democracy protesters during the 2019 demonstrations you would think this is a good thing Here's a clip After the Hong Kong national security law was passed, the Cardinal was arrested in May for his role as a trustee in a relief fund known to help pro-democracy protesters who participated in the 2019 demonstrations in Hong Kong.
00:45:24.000Cardinal Zen is well known for his outspoken calls for change in China.
00:45:27.000As all believers, we must be optimistic.
00:46:11.000And just to be clear before, because I get it, and Catholics, it's not lost on me that you've been the whipping post for a lot of the media and the entertainment.
00:46:39.000If we're talking about Christianity, and let's use the term Catholic Christianity interchangeably, I understand the denominational difference here.
00:46:46.000If we're talking about spreading the gospel throughout the world, the Catholic Church and the Vatican should make it their raison d'etre to help That man who has a brass pair of balls.
00:46:57.000I'm supporting him, which is why I am furious with the Vatican and this Pope.
00:47:02.000And if you're honest with yourself, you are too.
00:47:04.000So, this guy is accused of setting up an illegal fund to pay the legal costs of those arrested.
00:47:10.000Not like Kamala Harris who helped with the rioters who burned down Walgreens.
00:47:15.000I don't think this guy burned down No, no, no, no.
00:48:23.000The Holy See has learned with concern the news of Cardinal Zen's arrest and is following the development of the situation with extreme attention.
00:48:33.000Oh, good to break your gauge from the 12-year-old boy.
00:49:30.000So, in 2018, the Vatican signed a very shady agreement, again editorializing with Beijing, and it had some provisions, including that the Vatican recognize seven Chinese bishops appointed without the Vatican's approval, that the Vatican can only pick bishops from a pool selected by the Communist Chinese Party, and by the way, that's up for renewal in October.
00:51:09.000And weren't they, I mean, the whole point of this, aren't we supposed to stand up for those who are oppressed, right?
00:51:14.000Now, aren't we supposed to, like, try and take the gospel to the world and try to heal the brokenhearted, right?
00:51:19.000And try to bring comfort to those who are suffering and to shine a light on some of the worst atrocities happening on our planet right now and say that love and compassion Is the way to go, not, you know, jailing your citizens because they're Uyghurs and putting them in work camps.
00:51:31.000Isn't that like the, like, if you don't have that as your mission, like if you didn't get the, the gospel and so that Jesus said, go out and tell the world, like if you're missing that, what are you doing here?
00:51:41.000You're just raising some funds and living in a place that's pretty well protected and getting to ride around in a pretty sweet golf cart and wear red shoes that are cobbled together for you personally.
00:51:49.000There's a guy who makes those red shoes.
00:52:40.000In the Communist Chinese Bible, you know the part where there's a woman who has sinned, and I think she's been caught in the act of adultery, and Jesus is like, he who is without sin cast the first stone.
00:52:49.000So Lane brought this to me, Ginger Snap, and he was like, yeah, they called Jesus a sinner here, and I'm like, you kind of buried the lead.
00:52:54.000It wasn't just that they called him a sinner, it's that everybody walked away in the story, and Jesus chooses in the Bible not to condemn this person to and says if they've all left I will not condemn you as well.
00:53:05.000So the updated version is Jesus then took up stones and stoned her himself and said, ah, but I'm a sinner too.
00:53:13.000Jesus is like, everybody else left so I'll do the job, lady.
00:53:36.000So it's like, yes, Jesus is... Jesus being a sinner, that's a line you can't cross.
00:53:41.000Hey, where's the Vatican speaking out against this?
00:53:43.000I know, where's the Vatican on anything?
00:53:44.000Why would you... I understand you have to compromise, sometimes to make political deals, for example.
00:53:50.000But, Vatican, you're willing to sign an agreement with Beijing when their expressed policy is that Jesus is the exact opposite of who we all believe, Catholic, Baptist, Lutheran, him to be, which is the spotless lamb?
00:54:05.000No, for atheists out there, it doesn't matter if you disagree.
00:54:09.000You do understand the corruption, right?
00:54:52.000I get emails anytime I say, I'm not saying all Catholics.
00:54:56.000I'm saying good Catholic, Cardinal Zen, bad Catholics, the whole Vatican.
00:55:02.000The whole Vatican, if there is not one moral man, that whole place should be turned into a pillar of salt at this point.
00:55:08.000This is one of their own who needs them, and by the way, needs all of us to raise awareness.
00:55:13.000Sure, I disagree with some theology and Catholicism, but generally speaking, I think that we're within state borders of each other.
00:55:19.000And I certainly don't want to see Cardinal Zen put effectively in a gulag because the people who sent him out there hung him out to dry.
00:55:27.000So Biden is addressing the United Nations and specifically after Putin starts, so do you want to cut to that for a minute and see or do we want to keep going and see if they break in with anything interesting?
00:55:36.000I want to defend this Cardinal here because he needs our defense because he's very slight.
00:55:41.000This guy might poop himself and if he does we'll break to that.
00:55:44.000I guarantee he's already pooped himself and he's going to write it off.
00:55:47.000So China's infiltrated, obviously they've infiltrated members of our government, they've infiltrated, you know, Eric Swalwell's sex closet, and now the Vatican.
00:55:57.000The most powerful religious institution in the world.
00:56:00.000And this really does fit a pattern, just to be clear, with the Vatican.
00:58:06.000Alright, so, again, we're going through the history of the Vatican so that you understand why it's not too out of their pattern, historically, in throwing someone under the bus and feeding them to the Communist Chinese Party.
00:58:19.000You may not know this, all references available at LotOfCredit.com, World War II.
00:58:24.000Vatican, by the way, they had an aggressively neutral, let me put it that way, stance towards the Nazis.
00:58:32.000and uh uh he had that pope pious what was his number pope pious was it 12 was it 12th i believe
00:58:38.000it was the 12th yeah i don't know so many numbers of them yes he was notoriously silent obviously
00:58:43.000during the holocaust according to one nazi ambassador over 1 000 jews were rounded up
00:58:47.000and taken away under the pope's very windows and we all know about them sort of transporting
00:58:52.000some of the nazis out and i i let's Look, I understand that there's a gray area where some Nazis were forced to be Nazis, but if you actually look at the writing that came from the Vatican, that's not all they were doing.
00:59:02.000So in this story, under the walls, under the windows, that actually comes from when they were rounding up Jews, they fled to the Vatican for protection.
00:59:38.000For supporting democracy, something, I thought, because you condemned the United States for not apparently supporting black lives, which wasn't really democracy, it was just mob rule and burning shit down.
01:01:33.000So the government can't come in and treat us like Cardinal Zen.
01:01:35.000And just to be clear, all the liberals here in the United States, do you understand, like, would you say he's an extremist?
01:01:41.000Because I know you want to say that anyone here who wants to go to a gun show, or anyone here who wants to live out in a rural area, or anyone here who has a problem with the CIA or believes in disarming, or sorry, disbanding the FBI is an extremist.
01:01:59.000If you need a couple of history books as to why we do it here, and by the way, also why the Founders, when we're talking about the signers of the Declaration of Independence, they were leery of, back then, militant Catholics signing.
01:02:10.000Because they felt that they might have a higher allegiance to the Vatican, and it wasn't because of the Catholic faith, it was because of the political power that existed within the Vatican.
01:02:18.000And they said, we cannot have signers who have an allegiance to some other government entity beyond That's a historical fact.
01:03:00.000The whole reason for firearms is to protect human life.
01:03:05.000As a matter of fact, it's the only reason.
01:03:07.000It's the only reason some people misuse a tool to take human lives, just like if you don't know how to use a tool and you decide to try and use a wrench instead of a hammer.
01:03:16.000You know what else didn't come down from Sinai?
01:03:18.000You're talking about the Ten Commandments, sir.
01:03:20.000Most of what Jesus said, of course he expounded upon the Ten Commandments, but he said a lot of other stuff too.
01:03:25.000So if you're saying, well, it didn't come down from Sinai, so it must be, you know, something that we need to discard, you're throwing out most of what Jesus said.
01:03:31.000No, but they have a different They have a different version where Moses came down and said, I bring you these lords, ten commandments, and these really cool red shoes.
01:03:59.000What about all the stuff that you guys do, all these rituals?
01:04:02.000And I understand that because my... I understand the point that not every single rule or certainly spirit of the law that we follow comes from Sinai.
01:04:50.000Silent on the persecution in Hong Kong of a cardinal who they should be standing by.
01:04:54.000They signed a shady agreement with Beijing.
01:04:56.000That's why they're silent on China banning the Bible and claiming that Jesus is a sinner, which is kind of a big deal you would think in the Christian faith.
01:05:47.000And if it costs us everything, it's still wrong.
01:05:50.000We'll go to heaven knowing we have a clear conscience and we did the right thing, but that's not what happened.
01:05:54.000And let's say that you even believe that this Pope is only infallible on issues of spirituality and speaking ex cathedra, because that came from Sinai.
01:06:07.000Let's say you believe all of that, okay?
01:06:10.000Even if you do, when there's a cardinal who's looking at imprisonment and, let's be honest, likely death or severe torture in China for speaking up for Christian values, and you aren't saying anything, you're still a Chinese finger puppet.
01:06:23.000Let's see what Joe Biden has to say right now in front of the... Pissed off a lot of people.
01:06:26.000In front of the late 80s thriller marble wall.
01:06:42.000So as I announced last year to meet our global responsibility, my administration is working with our Congress to deliver more than $11 billion a year to international climate finance.
01:06:59.000People say we need to find common ground.
01:07:00.000We're all hearing the same thing, and right now he's going, ah, $11 billion in climate finance, and we're going, $11 billion in climate finance?
01:07:34.000Sustainable clean energy economy to preserve our planet.
01:07:39.000Yeah, it's working like a charm in California.
01:07:42.000People are using gas generators to electrically charge their Teslas, just to be clear.
01:07:47.000And it's working like a charm, by the way, in Germany.
01:07:50.000And these places in Europe have said, you know what, we better start up looking at nuclear.
01:07:53.000Hey, even Elon Musk, the guy who's done more to spearhead green technology, we're really talking about electric cars, said you can't do it unless you start using nuclear.
01:08:02.000And I don't know if you know this, do you know how many carbon emissions come from nuclear power?
01:09:13.000All we're doing is throwing money at the symptoms and not fixing the cause of the problem.
01:09:18.000And it's like, hey, this year we're gonna give more money to this and more people than ever are hungry.
01:09:22.000Hey, let me ask you this, let me ask you this.
01:09:24.000We all know, right, can we all agree, can we all agree that of course we're not going to be completely transitioned, for example, to electric vehicles by, I think they're saying it, the earliest they can hope for is 2030-something.
01:09:35.000We're talking about creating all this new infrastructure and superchargers that, by the way, cannot be supported by the current power grid.
01:09:41.000And you've seen me, I changed my mind on Teslas, not because I think they're more green, they're actually less green, I just think they're cool.
01:11:15.000Oh, that's right, you created a problem and now you're spending our money to go in and fix it.
01:11:19.000... ingrain while so many people are suffering. Because in every country in the world,
01:11:24.000no matter what else divides us, if parents cannot feed their children, nothing, nothing else matters.
01:11:34.000If parents cannot feed their children.
01:11:38.000As we look to the future, We're working with our partners to update and create rules of the road for new challenges we face in the 21st century.
01:11:46.000So, just to be clear, when we're talking about that, it's not like the Green New Deal or environmentally-minded legislation would in any way try and be punitive towards companies that harvest or manufacture meat, right?
01:11:58.000He's talking about wanting to feed families, right?
01:12:00.000It's not like they would be trying to artificially subsidize and move us towards a diet that is primarily plant-based.
01:12:06.000Which, by the way, requires huge, giant, vast swaths of land.
01:12:12.000So he's not making anything cost prohibitive, right?
01:12:14.000Because parents need to feed their kids.
01:12:15.000He's slashing taxes and regulations and red tape across the board so that we won't have, for example, a meat shortage.
01:12:21.000And I don't have them as a sponsor here on the show today, but go to GoodRanchers.com, enter in the promo code Crowder because you'll lock in that price.
01:12:26.000There is a beef shortage that's coming down the pike, just so you know.
01:13:55.000It's not a weapon if you don't need their energy.
01:13:58.000The United States Right now, could be not only entirely energy independent, right now, if we allowed it to happen, and of course there would need to be some time to build up the infrastructure, but we could also supply more of the world with energy.
01:14:12.000Just to be clear, we don't need Russia, don't need Saudi Arabia, we don't need those agreements, but we're not allowed to.
01:14:49.000But I'm saying if you're on the side of Russia and you're like, ah, well, all these countries that we supply energy to, they keep sending money in arms.
01:16:19.000Just want to cut that off with the past, because I know a lot of you who are new probably don't know the bullshit that you've been spoon-fed.
