It's Cultural Appropriation Month, which means it's time for another episode of Louder With Crowder! This week, the crew travels to the communist cesspool that is California, where they discuss why Joe Biden is the worst president in the country, and why California is also the worst state in the union, not including, of course, Baltimore.
00:07:13.000You look, you see these people sprinting, and it's just like a bunch of white guys.
00:07:16.000You're like, oh, well, that was just a matter of time.
00:07:19.000But it was the Russians were doping, and they were professional.
00:07:21.000And this guy, Bruce Jenner, for all this crap that's going on now, was paying his way through college competing against professional dopers and beat them.
00:08:37.000It's called being an adult, nurses and teachers unions, and sometimes that means you're going to have to do things that you don't want to do.
00:08:51.000So here's a guy on TikTok saying, this is the new rule now, that straight men can Do you know that straight men can have sex with men and not be gay?
00:09:09.000My first few videos were about straight men having gay sex.
00:09:12.000And I'm getting activity again in comments that people don't understand that straight men can be attracted to the sex act, but not to the man.
00:09:21.000Straight men having sex with men doesn't cancel somebody's heterosexuality any more than a straight woman having sex with a woman cancels her sexuality.
00:11:48.000You didn't want to go to the border just because it was bad and you knew that it would look bad for you if you continued to do anything because Donald Trump did.
00:12:34.000That's something a lot of people are like, do you have any idea the amount of- I thought everyone here was like, oh, that's a little intense.
00:13:48.000He invited me over for his, like, happy hour, which is, you know, like a bunch of whitefish pate and shrimp that's been sitting out for a long time.
00:13:54.000I don't know what age crossover where temperature doesn't affect the taste of meat to you.
00:14:49.000And like I said, guys, we are going to have some videos, long-form content, some Change My Minds coming up, and a mini-documentary about the surge they have coming up, because it's supposed to, I'm supposed to not work for like several months, but that's not going to happen.
00:15:00.000I'll just be gone for a couple of weeks.
00:15:04.000It's pretty invasive, and I don't really want to go through it now, so if you want to know about what's going on in the Mayo Clinic, great work.
00:15:08.000That'll be up next week or the week after.
00:15:58.000And he committed, you know, tax evasion.
00:16:00.000They said he went down to Belize, was accused of maybe murder, then he went to Guatemala, back to the States.
00:16:04.000Anyways, he was arrested based on tax evasion, put in a Spanish prison about a year ago, and then finally was cleared for being extradited to the United States, died, suicide in his prison cell.
00:17:02.000At what point do we say there's a pattern?
00:17:06.000Can you think of any Bernie bros who got offed in this kind of way?
00:17:15.000No, I was trying to think through that.
00:17:17.000Seth Rich-ish, but it's sort of negated by the Clinton, the DNC stuff.
00:17:20.000But I'm saying it just always seems like people who are libertarians, who are anti-government types, or people who have dirt on powerful people, they always just seem, you know, how many failing breaks Are they all driving Priuses?
00:17:54.000Kind of a funny aside, though, the whole Netty thing.
00:17:55.000I know somebody who works at McAfee, and this person said to me, well, you know, we're really sad, obviously, but he hasn't been a part of the company for like 20 or 25 years, and now we can finally stop having to answer the question about him.
00:18:41.000I talked about Joe Biden and the WhiteHouse.gov, we provided the sources, we always do, lighterwithcredit.com, his proposal for effectively the gun registration, the gun ban.
00:18:50.000But he just spoke yesterday again on his intent to sort of curb gun violence specifically in these major cities.
00:18:57.000Of course, this tantamounts to more gun control, to more federalized authority.
00:19:15.000And it's verifiably incorrect about this is the common blame game, right?
00:19:19.000Well, if you look in these big cities, they're actually getting guns from elsewhere.
00:19:22.000It's not the big city's fault, but he made a very specific claim because he said the quiet part out loud.
00:19:26.000They probably said, don't say Don't say that people are pointing out that gun crime is a problem in major liberal cities, because that's a deadlock.
00:19:43.000Now the gun lobby wants you to believe that cities that had the toughest gun laws still have the highest rates of gun violence, as is pointed out by the group we had today in our roundtable.
00:19:55.000The violence is so they argue, why do you need those gun laws if they don't work in cities that have tough laws?
00:20:04.000Today's conversation with Mayor Scott of Baltimore, for example, echoed what we know to be the case in here for mayors all across the country.
00:20:11.000Mayors have the power to help shape and enforce the laws in their cities, but they can't control the laws in neighboring cities and states, even though the gun legally bought there is often ends up in their streets.
00:20:23.000Mayor Scott says that 80% of the guns in Baltimore were acquired outside the city.
00:23:39.000How does he get away with saying something like that?
00:23:41.000Like you can just go over the border in Indiana and buy guns without a background check and nobody goes... You can go and here's what happens.
00:23:47.000People say, Hey, and this happened afterward.
00:23:50.000Hey, you want to get a gun without a background check?
00:23:52.000And it's a criminal who then tries to sell it to you in an alleyway like that can't happen in the bastion of safety that is Chicago.
00:24:46.000Of course it's not true, but let me give you some general stats and also something that a lot of people don't touch on.
00:24:50.000Because a lot of these stats, just like when we talk about firearm deaths, we're not talking homicide deaths often.
00:24:58.000When you're talking about that total number, they're including suicides.
00:25:01.000And when you take that out, Per capita gun homicides in this country, very, very low.
00:25:06.000And then when you understand that a huge portion of that is gang-on-gang violence, and again, you see a higher trend of that in cities, for example, like in Dallas, a lot of crime.
00:25:16.000Not a lot of crime against civilians, and I'll get to that in a sec.
00:25:24.000But you need to understand where the stat comes from too, right?
00:25:27.000You have to understand that most of that is made up of gang violence, and those are the criminals that aren't following the laws that we just talked about.
00:26:12.000Must have Steven Spielberg alien arms.
00:26:17.000So um this doesn't tell the full story because this is something too that I've always it's very hard to find some numbers out there uh crime against civilians carjackings actually are a great indicator and you can read up on this there are a lot of people who've talked about this sort of people who who study crime and have to make inferences There really isn't a lot of data, hard data, on, for example, a lot of ballistics data that we have.
00:26:39.000So it's hard to know how many shots are taken to stop an intruder.
00:26:43.000Because sometimes the only data that's collected, these are municipally, and it just collects the deaths, you know, just the death numbers, not necessarily the numbers of people who were shot or who were fatally wounded and died later.
00:28:02.000So this is important because the carjackings are a perfect example.
00:28:05.000Look, no one is carjacking another gang member.
00:28:09.000Carjackings are a good indicator of how emboldened criminals are to simply commit a crime against an unarmed civilian if it's in an area where guns are controlled.
00:28:19.000Because think about it, most carjackings They don't occur on country roads.
00:28:23.000They often occur in populated areas where there should be a police presence against a civilian, and so there are several assumptions that have to be made for a criminal to commit carjacking successfully.
00:28:33.000The person is unarmed, the police are ineffective, and no one will do anything and it has to be in a crowded area.
00:30:11.000And so for me, if you are going to say, hey, the obvious answer here, where there's a consistent pattern, is not the actual answer, well then it is your duty to provide something that's compelling.
00:30:24.000Does anyone out there – again, I know we have some leftists who watch the show, not leftists, but classical liberals – anyone have any evidence that it's coming from somewhere else?
00:30:49.000The Baltimore Sun article, actually, this is what – they claim that the top two states, They import guns from, sorry, our Virginia and Pennsylvania.
00:33:55.000Senator, an assault weapon would be, in the context of the question you asked, what Congress defines it as.
00:34:02.000Well, I've been in Walmarts and I've been in Cabela's and I've seen that you can find sections for pistols or handguns or for shotguns or for rifles because those are actual kinds of firearms.
00:34:13.000I think our exchange here illustrates that there really is no such thing as an assault weapon.
00:34:20.000Um, you know how people have often said sunlight is the best disinfectant?
00:35:29.000They tend to hang around the human feces on the streets.
00:35:31.000And by the way, we're going to do our costume contest winner on Mug Club later on, play a California-themed hipster hobo, so just wanted to let you know to send your stuff in.
00:36:30.000Can they really be classified as a Republican organization?
00:36:35.000At a certain point, when people are mad that you're besmirching the reputation of someone, Lincoln, not a perfect man, taught himself to read by candlelight, was a wrestler, was a great man with an axe, Emancipation Proclamation, freed the slaves, and you guys are groomers!
00:37:04.000So there's also records of David Chipman donating to Barack Obama in 2008.
00:37:08.000His wife, Tara, has given $22,000 to Democratic organizations, including $1,000 to Biden's campaign.
00:37:15.000So the total from David and his wife, David Chipman, to Democratic organizations since 2008 is something around $41,000, according to the FEC.
00:37:25.000Does that include the Lincoln Project?
00:37:37.000Look, I mean, people can give political donations as much as they want, but when somebody comes in front of their hearing to be confirmed and they say, I don't have any strong opinions on doing this job, whatever you guys tell me to do, you're like, you know, we're going to have to talk to somebody else about this.
00:37:51.000By the way, who do you think you're going to side with on this?
00:37:54.000Do you think you're going to push back if Joe Biden does something illegal or if Congress puts out a plan that's actually illegal?
00:40:34.000What I would say is that some of the decisions have just been premature, and they've harmed the very people they were intended to help, and that's the black community.
00:41:04.000So, in other words, for every carjacking that is recorded successfully, how many are thwarted by someone defending themselves, their God-given right?
00:41:11.000So let's see if they even touch on that.
00:41:30.000Right, so what saves our kids, and I think the president said this in a wonderful way, Poppy, it's going to take all of us to really think through what our solutions are.
00:41:41.000But your city council, hey guys, bring it up there from the research room, was it their city council or committee that voted to defund the police?
00:42:47.000Not one word about saying, men, step up in your communities and do a better job at being fathers.
00:42:54.000Not one word about families saying, hey, step up and make sure that your kids are not out on the street committing crimes and joining gangs and shooting up cars.
00:43:02.000The people that they just put up there to kind of pull at your heartstrings, the kids, were shot by people who just randomly shot in cars.
00:43:45.000You are fighting against the heart of America when you believe that the kinds of policies that you voted for in Minneapolis are what Americans want.
00:43:54.000Eighty plus percent of black Americans.
00:43:56.000Keep in mind, this is something too that no one wants to talk about.
00:43:59.000That broad on that television, okay, is only walking back the defund the police to reform because she is completely out of touch with black America.
00:44:10.000The voices that we see on CNN, the voices that we see on ABC, NBC, CBS, if you were an alien and you landed right here on Earth, you would think that all black Americans must want to defund the police until someone says, here's poll, after poll, after poll, at intervals of three months, it's never lower than 80%.
00:45:43.000This was the foundational building block of this country, that the only way a constitutional republic like this, that afforded more freedoms than any country before it, and still became a global superpower, by the way, as opposed to a nation of drugged-out libertines, was, we need, before federal government, before state government, we need the nuclear family, and that's why it was encouraged.
00:46:02.000And when you hear everything she just said, It's about public schooling.
00:46:36.000Ideally, someone without a father figure.
00:46:38.000It's really easy for big government socialist policies to get their claws in you when you're at your youngest, most vulnerable, and you don't have someone to watch your back like a dad.
00:46:50.000And honestly, if you do all of these policies, if you enact everything that they want to get rid of the quote-unquote systemic racism that's plaguing their communities, you're not going to fix the problem.
00:47:00.000You're still going to have people in broken families.
00:47:04.000People often use this term deep state, and a lot of people who use it are morons, where they just want to say deep state, deep state, deep state.
00:47:11.000Here's what to me, when we talk about that, because it's a valid point, what it actually is.
00:47:15.000Unelected officials Who enact basically laws through regulations.
00:47:27.000But he's going to have a say on whether you get to keep that revolver if it has a 10-round cylinder.
00:47:33.000He's going to have a say if your Glock 19 is still allowed in your state.
00:47:38.000He's going to have a say if you have a rapist tracking you down in New Jersey and you have a restraining order and he's blown through it but you have to wait 30 days.
00:47:48.000People who are unelected are going to have a say on what your police department is allowed to do.
00:47:53.000People who are unelected are going to have a say in how much you spend on local housing.
00:47:57.000These are unelected people who serve exclusively to protect other unelected people.
00:48:04.000If you actually look at Washington, D.C., and you look at the amount of people who work there, who work in government who were actually elected as part of
00:48:11.000the Constitutional Republic versus people who work there and throw up red tape bureaucratic
00:48:17.000regulations and I'm not even talking about lobbyists. I'm not even including them. That's
00:48:21.000what the deep state is. Anyone who is unelected and a career politician. You know, people like
00:48:26.000Fauci. People like Chipman. People who have been in there forever and have no accountability
00:48:30.000for their past mistakes. I'm not saying that there's an underground pizza parlor where
00:48:34.000the Lincoln Project keeps kids chained up against the wall.
00:48:37.000What I am saying is someone like a Fauci.
00:50:09.000And this guy was complaining, I believe, at a parent-teacher conference.
00:50:13.000And you're seeing this more because parents are finally aware of what their kids are being taught.
00:50:19.000They're going, wait a second, wait, actually, Andrew Breitbart, who, you know, I was sort of set under his tutelage.
00:50:24.000I remember he brought out, and I think we brought this up a long time, if you have kids, I'd probably have them get rid of the room right now.
00:52:34.000It's not just that parents have realized what their kids are being taught, it's they realize that the school boards are accountable to them.
00:52:41.000They realize the power that they now have over school boards and they're showing up at these meetings and they're starting to push back.
00:52:46.000They're realizing it, but you know who doesn't?
00:53:51.000I'm quoting to you now from the United States Supreme Court 1964 case, New York Times vs. Sullivan.
00:53:58.000This is constitutional case law in this country, and I'm quoting you from the US Supreme Court.
00:54:04.000The judges wrote that this nation is founded on the quote, profound national commitment to the principle that debate on public issues shall be uninhibited, robust and wide open.
00:54:16.000And that it may well include vehement, caustic and sometimes unpleasantly sharp attacks on government and public officials.
00:54:24.000That's constitutional case law in this nation.
00:55:13.000We've got the school board president saying she'll do better at hitting the moot button in blatant violation of the Constitution.
00:55:20.000For her lobbying and her advocacy of unconstitutional censorship, I want you, the school board, to terminate the employment of Dr. Charissa Gibson.
00:56:35.000When you're going to spy on Americans right now if they're considered right-wing extremists, deeming them domestic terrorists through arbitrary rules that likely can be decided by members of the deep state, meaning unelected officials who share similar views to David Renfield Shipman.
00:56:54.000In other words, at what point do you say it's censorship?
00:56:57.000When Donald Trump calls something fake news?
00:56:59.000Honestly, when do you say... Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, even though they enjoy the legal protections of being a public platform, a utility, right?
00:57:14.000No, as a matter of fact, the First Amendment is specifically the right to be rude.
00:57:18.000So my question to people on the left, including classical liberals who don't want to actually acknowledge that they're conservatives now, What would you consider censorship?
00:57:26.000Does it have to be the government beating down your door and putting a ball gag on your mouth?
00:57:31.000Which, by the way, could be confused for your weekly appointment with a Lincoln Project committee member.
00:57:44.000I love, by the way, that this guy goes in there and is like, and I can't believe that we had to have the Supreme Court tell you that free speech didn't have to be nice.
00:57:51.000Like, that's essentially what it took from it.
00:57:53.000And he was saying... It took a caddy teen!
00:59:13.000Whereas this next girl, who looks the exact age as Greta Thunberg, is nine years old, and you can hear by the way that she's speaking that this is clearly the frustrations being vented by a nine-year-old.
00:59:25.000It's one of the few instances to me that comes across as authentic I looked up onto the wall and saw a BLM poster and an Amanda Gorman poster.
00:59:39.000In case you don't know who that chick is, she's some girl who did a poem at Biden's so-called inauguration.
00:59:45.000I was so mad, I went up to my principal to tell him about the BLM poster and that I wanted it down.
01:00:13.000It is a political message about getting rid of police officers, rioting, burning buildings down while King Governor Walsh just sits on his throne.
01:00:40.000Unlike Greta, who had to use her window of opportunity of a year where it was YouTube's policy where you couldn't criticize her, she's got nine left.
01:01:46.000By the way, hit the notification bell if you're subscribed, because subscriptions don't mean a whole lot, and especially the schedule's going to be a little bit intermittent here for the month of July.
01:01:54.000Some Change My Minds, some long-form videos, a mini-documentary.
01:01:58.000Every July we take about two weeks off.
01:02:01.000So we don't want to hear in the comments section, where are you?
01:03:12.000Hey, do you remember I think it was about this time last year when Donald Trump pointed out that California, their wildfires were out of control due to poor forest management.
01:03:55.000You clean your floor, and here's what they try to do.
01:03:57.000I'm surprised they didn't say Donald Trump tried to, you know, Mr. Clean the Floor, tried to Pine Sol, you know, the Redwoods, just like they said Donald Trump tried to inject you with bleach.
01:04:07.000No, he said disinfect and said maybe we could get in the body.
01:05:12.000Just remove them from the conversation.
01:05:14.000Just like parents at PTA meetings or people on big tech platforms, or the president from big tech platforms, or in this case, the president from being correct.
01:07:45.000Without all this fuel on the forest floor, California officials contend blazes will be less likely to turn into the megafires that devour thousands of acres.
01:07:59.000And by the way, this isn't conjecture.
01:08:00.000All sources available at ladarthcreditor.com.
01:08:03.000Scientists said, well, we actually thought the lab leak might have been possible, but we didn't want to be attributed with Donald Trump.
01:08:08.000Kind of like people said, well, you don't need a mask after the vaccine, but we don't want people to think that we're freedom loving Republicans.
01:09:07.000So, assault weapons is another issue in California.
01:09:09.000It's not just wildfires that suck, and of course their doublespeak politics.
01:09:12.000A few weeks back we covered how a judge, of course, said that the assault weapons ban in California, you can bring up the overlay, was unconstitutional.
01:11:16.000An unbiased state if I've ever seen one.
01:11:19.000Hey, look, I understand that the law needs to be respected, and Giuliani, maybe there were some infractions, but I suggest a career in carjacking.
01:12:54.000And what's funny is the mayor of Austin, when he was on Joe Rogan's show, he was talking about, you know, we really wanted to get a handle on the homeless problem.
01:13:00.000So I spoke with the mayors of San Francisco and Seattle.
01:13:09.000And then people say, why are you being tribal?
01:13:12.000When you have a mayor of a major city in Austin who really could speak with any other mayor of a major city in Texas that's not Austin and he's reaching to the worst San Francisco and second worst Seattle Let's just be honest about this.
01:13:27.000When people try and say, they only try and accuse you of being tribalistic when you're a conservative and you just draw a line in the sand and say no.
01:13:36.000There are no people who reach across the aisle anymore and I don't know where you find common ground when it's the party that believes abortion up until and including birth and they will actively oppose Donald Trump on forest fires, on lab leaks, on economic policies just because it's from Donald Trump.
01:13:53.000How do you find common ground with that?
01:15:10.000You were to go back a hundred years and tell people, like, yeah, actually one of the fastest growing areas are in places like Texas and Arizona.
01:15:18.000They'd be like, the place that doesn't grow?
01:15:20.000And you said, you won't believe it, but a hundred years from now, California is going to be covered in human shit.
01:16:57.000So I did my research and I knew about the smelt.
01:17:01.000Are you telling me that Tom Selleck has to steal, has to smuggle water for his avocado farm, not to mention the people who are dying of thirst and crops, because they have to save, I know the smelt, but they have to save the smelt fish, but this fish needs particular protection because it's not good at swimming?
01:17:44.000They blame these pumps, right, that are going to give water to, I don't know, actual human beings that need it to survive, and they say in the next paragraph, oh, and by the way, it has tons of new predators that are eating it left and right, but there's debate on whether the predators are the problem or the pumps.
01:17:58.000Yeah, no, the science probably isn't in yet if oceanic predators might prey on fish that can't swim.
01:18:08.000That's like when that lady in San Francisco who was swimming with the great whites got bitten in half and they're like, hmm, do we have a cause of death?
01:18:44.000But the rolling blackouts, and I know you're going to say Texas, but it's the totality of this.
01:18:48.000And yes, Texas may have rolling blackouts, but you also have to understand that we should be able to have an energy grid that can handle this.
01:18:52.000It's because of bureaucrats who don't allow us to utilize it properly.
01:18:56.000Just like California, but at least we don't have to save the smelt.
01:19:00.000Well you remember the freeway that had to be rerouted because of the plant that was believed to be extinct, they had to avoid.
01:21:22.000The Fish and Wildlife Service placed limits on water that could be pumped out of Sacramento, San Joaquin, Delta and sent south to Central Valley farmers to protect, yeah, Delta smelt.
01:22:12.000Last week, though, we know about the smelt before, but now, this is last week, four hydroelectric dams in California and Oregon, they have to save migratory salmon.
01:22:40.000Krill used to be something they put in dog food.
01:22:42.000I'm just going off here because I don't really care.
01:22:44.000Krill oil used to be used in dog food.
01:22:45.000They would mash it up, and they would say, yeah, it's the most sustainable food on the planet because it's at the bottom of the food chain.
01:22:50.000They would say, don't go after the apex predator.
01:23:18.000When I go to California, when I look at the natural beauty and the resources that they have, and honestly, once you get out of the major cities, the people are very conservative.
01:23:26.000I had a person, I'm not gonna name them, winery owner in my shop yesterday, And Gavin Newsom came up, and before I... I'm always careful because I don't really know where to come down.
01:24:11.000He's going to Tony Clifton this thing?
01:24:15.000We did want to include one positive thing about California, though, because I know there are good people, like you said, left in California.
01:25:41.000And there was one other thing that they said.
01:25:43.000L.A., even in these drought years, had like three and a half inches of rain.
01:25:45.000And they said if people would just start collecting their rainwater instead of the government building things to dump it into the ocean, essentially, right?
01:25:51.000Just running down the street, running down their aqueduct, whatever, into the ocean, they would solve 30 to 40 percent of their water problem.
01:25:57.000Just by helping people get cisterns and rain collection.
01:26:32.000However, at a certain point, you have to weigh the pros and the cons.
01:26:36.000You go, well, it could be a negative feedback loop, or then the world gets warmer.
01:26:39.000Yeah, but if you have a never-ending supply of water, because the majority of our Earth is it, that seems like it would be... And you know what?
01:26:45.000One other thing, too, that I want to say.
01:26:47.000This is also just an example of how pampered we've become when we're talking about some of these problems.
01:26:51.000And I'm not saying that if the world doesn't get a warmer 1.6 degrees that we're not all going to die, because obviously that's settled science.
01:26:58.000What I am saying, however, is the fact that we consider this so catastrophic, when right now, for example, in Michigan, we've talked about this, Great Lakes last year, record highs.
01:28:10.000So, now they are saying, though, however, the record highs If you take us out of this century, so any other century ever, in the history of human existence, and try to explain that concept to them.
01:28:31.000They'd be having harvest festivals, right?
01:28:33.000They'd be going, look, oh my gosh, the Lord has blessed us!
01:28:35.000We have more water than ever, and the ground is more fertile than we could possibly imagine.
01:28:41.000We're planting things we didn't even know could grow here.
01:30:27.000But because of people on the coast who don't know what it's like to live in an actual desert climate, not near a large body of water, those people Suffer.
01:30:59.000Now, there was a significant enough wolf problem where they wanted to allow a wolf hunt.
01:31:04.000Now, I know you guys may have some opinions on whether you should be able to endanger—okay, fine, whatever.
01:31:08.000But the point is, there was enough of a prevalence of wolves in this area of Michigan where they said, we need to have a concerted wolf Hunt.
01:31:19.000And they weren't allowed to because of people who live nowhere near the wolf area of the state saying that, well, it would be mean to take out wolves.
01:31:44.000And because of some hipster at a coffee shop downstate, I believe it was a statewide vote, I could be mistaken, someone voting in Flint or someone voting in Detroit, people don't get to keep their own families or their own livestock safe.
01:31:57.000You have these elitists who have voted shitty policies into their, and by the way not just voted, But voted in elected officials who then bring with them, like we're talking about, the deep state.
01:32:06.000And the deep state happens even at a local municipal level.
01:32:08.000Unelected officials who serve to maintain the status quo of regulations for unelected officials.
01:32:34.000You cannot shoot, even if they're eating all of your grapes and your pie.
01:32:37.000You cannot shoot the deer or the turkey?
01:32:39.000Look, this is why I need to be governor of Michigan, although I can't, I wouldn't be governor of California because I wouldn't want to live there, but you know what, okay, you can't shoot them?
01:32:50.000Alright, we're going to Mug Club, gonna read your costume winner, leave a comment below, wish me luck with the surgery, but you don't have to.
