00:00:07.000 It's a beautiful day in this neighborhood.

00:00:22.000 A beautiful day for a neighbor.

00:00:24.000 Won't you be mine?

00:00:26.000 Could you be mine?

00:00:28.000 It's a neighborly day in this beauty wood.

00:00:32.000 A neighborly day for this beauty.

00:00:35.000 Won't you be mine?

00:00:37.000 Could you be mine?

00:00:39.000 I have always wanted to have a neighbor just like you.

00:00:45.000 I've always wanted to live in a neighborhood with you.

00:00:52.000 So let's make the most of this beautiful day.

00:00:56.000 Since we're together, we might as well say, Would you be mine?

00:01:02.000 Could you be mine?

00:01:03.000 Won't you be my neighbor?

00:01:06.000 Won't you be?

00:01:08.000 Won't you please?

00:01:10.000 Please won't you be?

00:01:13.000 My subscriber.

00:01:16.000 Hi there subscriber.

00:01:18.000 Feeling uncomfortable?

00:01:20.000 *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* *BANG* you're a strange animal that's what i know you're a strange animal i get the ball 0.87

00:01:46.000 i'm the spiritess all right glad to be with you

00:02:15.000 That always gets a laugh out of Edward the Sound Guy.

00:02:18.000 It does.

00:02:18.000 It's very easy to get a laugh out of him.

00:02:20.000 The king of the dad jokes.

00:02:21.000 The king of the dad jokes.

00:02:23.000 And just a couple of hip thrusts.

00:02:26.000 Glad to be with you.

00:02:27.000 This is the Thursday live stream.

00:02:29.000 It's available on YouTube and Facebook for free.

00:02:31.000 That's the sound of the weekend.

00:02:32.000 I should say this is the sound of the weekend.

00:02:34.000 Producing with me in video studio, as always, is Jared, who is not gay. 0.98

00:02:37.000 Follow him on Twitter at notgayjared.

00:02:39.000 I fulfill my legal obligations.

00:02:40.000 Draw your own conclusions.

00:02:42.000 The reason it's mixed me up is because we're daily now.

00:02:44.000 A lot of people are saying this for free.

00:02:46.000 And they're probably confused.

00:02:47.000 They're confused because they get it both on CRTV at 9.

00:02:50.000 Right.

00:02:50.000 Live here on Thursdays at 8.

00:02:52.000 Yeah.

00:02:53.000 Or they're listening on iTunes or listening on SoundCloud.

00:02:56.000 So don't worry.

00:02:56.000 This is always going to be free.

00:02:57.000 We're always going to have awesome guests and segments, but it's a little bit shorter because we're doing it every day, Monday through Thursday now, and then starting in February.

00:03:04.000 Not Gay, Jared, and Courtney and some others behind the scenes will have their own show.

00:03:09.000 So glad to be with you.

00:03:10.000 We have a lot of news to get to.

00:03:12.000 We're going to have Matt Iceman on tonight, who just won this.

00:03:15.000 He won this week, right, Jordan?

00:03:16.000 He did.

00:03:17.000 He won the Celebrity Apprentice contest this week.

00:03:19.000 Also, he won't say it.

00:03:21.000 He's rolling.

00:03:22.000 He's a good patriot, loves his country.

00:03:24.000 Chael was going to be on, who lost.

00:03:26.000 Who lost, but won his place back.

00:03:28.000 But won his place back.

00:03:29.000 It's tough to hate Chael Sonnen.

00:03:31.000 And what else?

00:03:33.000 We'll have Chael next week.

00:03:34.000 Chael got sick.

00:03:35.000 So Chael, we hope for a speedy recovery.

00:03:38.000 And we'll find out if you're really sick, because Matt Eisman will let us know.

00:03:42.000 We're going to tear Reza Aslan a new... 0.95

00:03:46.000 Gosh, I'm trying to think of the term that would apply... 0.96

00:03:51.000 Genital, generally mutilated orifice, right? 0.98

00:03:53.000 That would work for Muslims. 0.97

00:03:55.000 That would be relatable.

00:03:57.000 Reza Aslan, we'll talk about that after the break.

00:03:59.000 He did some videos for Vox.

00:04:01.000 Vox is full-scale pro-Islamic propaganda this week.

00:04:04.000 This week especially.

00:04:05.000 It seems to come on strong again.

00:04:07.000 They seem to be coming on really strong.

00:04:08.000 I think that's their new tact with Trump because repealing the Affordable Care Act, people actually want to.

00:04:14.000 And so now they're like, oh gosh, hold on a second, actually a lot of people voted for him, and there are more people, even people who didn't vote for him, who like some of his policies. 0.54

00:04:21.000 Let's say he's racist and Islam, and now they're like, ah, look, look, look, anti-Islam, Islam's peaceful, let's bring out Reza Aslan who claims he's not gay, but... 0.51

00:04:29.000 Come on now. 0.96

00:04:31.000 Um...

00:04:32.000 So we'll be talking about that.

00:04:33.000 Before that, though, we're going to talk about Seth Meyers, of course, and fake news.

00:04:36.000 Fake news has been all the rage this week.

00:04:38.000 A couple of things.

00:04:39.000 More fallout here from the CNN BuzzFeed disaster.

00:04:42.000 It's now been shown that Trump was not briefed.

00:04:45.000 I think we can bring this up here on the infamous two-page addendum.

00:04:48.000 So we know that now for a fact.

00:04:50.000 So before it was like, ah, it's uncorroborated.

00:04:52.000 We don't know.

00:04:52.000 We know now for sure.

00:04:56.000 That CNN went with verifiably false information.

00:04:59.000 But it wasn't us!

00:05:00.000 It was BuzzFeed!

00:05:01.000 Okay.

00:05:03.000 You're in good company, CNN. Senate took the first step to repeal Obamacare last night.

00:05:07.000 51 to 48 vote.

00:05:09.000 Also, there's a bunch of stuff going on with Jeff Sessions as to whether he's a racist or not, but I'm sure you've heard about that everywhere else.

00:05:13.000 We've written about it at livewithcredit.com, but that's actually pretty boring.

00:05:17.000 So we don't have time.

00:05:18.000 I know our EP, Scott, he's such a policy wonk.

00:05:20.000 He wanted me to talk about Jeff Sessions.

00:05:22.000 I was like, I just don't...

00:05:23.000 I don't care.

00:05:24.000 I know it's going to be a Lifetime movie at some point.

00:05:28.000 We'll catch the cliff note version on...

00:05:29.000 Yeah, Jeff Sessions will be the racist in the South, and he'll be pushing his wife on a flight of stairs because that always happens in Lifetime movies.

00:05:37.000 And you guys have enough information on that.

00:05:39.000 What I do want to get to is Seth Meyers.

00:05:42.000 We were all watching this when we were prepping for today's show.

00:05:44.000 We just couldn't...

00:05:45.000 I mean, the irony is so rich you could get gout.

00:05:48.000 In an incredible twist, he did a big bit yesterday on fake news.

00:05:54.000 Well, first he tried to take the moral high ground and take CNN and BuzzFeed to task.

00:06:00.000 So let's show that first in his defense.

00:06:02.000 He did do that.

00:06:03.000 Last night, CNN published this bombshell report.

00:06:06.000 Intel chiefs presented Trump with claims of Russian efforts to compromise him.

00:06:10.000 But then today, NBC News contradicted that story, reporting that Donald Trump wasn't told about unverified Russian dossier.

00:06:16.000 Now, BuzzFeed also reported on this story, but handled it very differently, publishing the 35-page dossier that detailed the unverified allegations.

00:06:26.000 And it's worrisome to publish allegations like this without a shred of evidence.

00:06:30.000 Look, nobody wants to believe that Trump paid Russian hookers to pee all over a bed more than I do, but there is zero proof that happened. 0.89

00:06:38.000 Well, exactly. 0.98

00:06:39.000 And now there's proof that it didn't happen.

00:06:42.000 Or there's proof at least that the people who ran with it had no proof that it happened.

00:06:45.000 And usually that means you likely lied.

00:06:48.000 When you run with a story as a journalist, that you verifiably have no way to prove.

00:06:52.000 So I agree with Seth Meyers here.

00:06:54.000 I agree with him.

00:06:55.000 And he seems to be talking about how this is a problem in news.

00:06:58.000 So it seems like he might be consistent.

00:07:00.000 We're on board.

00:07:03.000 Today Trump called these new reports fake news.

00:07:06.000 So despite an incredibly short run, I think it is time to retire that term.

00:07:10.000 It used to mean one thing, but now everyone is using it for everything.

00:07:14.000 Fake news, as a term, is busted.

00:07:19.000 What?

00:07:21.000 That's your term.

00:07:23.000 Fake news is over.

00:07:24.000 Fake news is over now, apparently.

00:07:26.000 So over.

00:07:26.000 They want you to know that fake news is so over.

00:07:29.000 Right.

00:07:30.000 It's you!

00:07:32.000 Fake news is a thing because of you!

00:07:34.000 I get it, right?

00:07:35.000 Fake, adjective, news, noun.

00:07:36.000 It was just an adjective and a noun.

00:07:38.000 It shouldn't really mean much, but for the longest time, recently, fake news has been a buzz term, fake news, in quotes.

00:07:45.000 To meet anyone who disagrees with the mainstream press.

00:07:48.000 To meet anyone who's conservative.

00:07:49.000 You see it with Zuckerberg talking about how they need to clamp down on fake news.

00:07:53.000 You see Vox.

00:07:54.000 You see Salon.

00:07:56.000 Paul Krugman at the New York Times.

00:07:57.000 They were all talking about fake news.

00:07:59.000 And look, look at every single picture.

00:08:00.000 And when they're talking about fake news, they show Republicans, they show conservatives, they show any kind of right-leaning website.

00:08:06.000 That was the term fake news because they wanted to blame this election not on their shortcomings, not on the kind of debacles that you see right now with CNN and BuzzFeed.

00:08:14.000 They wanted to blame it on fake news out there.

00:08:16.000 Now, we've actively fought against clickbait for a long time.

00:08:20.000 And on our website, we reference everything.

00:08:22.000 We source everything.

00:08:23.000 If we do a video, even right now, these references are available to you.

00:08:27.000 You can see the URLs.

00:08:28.000 I understand.

00:08:30.000 Fake news is bad.

00:08:31.000 But the term, the colloquialism, fake news, is because of you, Seth Meyers.

00:08:36.000 Do we have the BuzzFeed?

00:08:38.000 BuzzFeed.

00:08:39.000 BuzzFeed even ran a piece.

00:08:41.000 Top six ways.

00:08:43.000 Is it a video or is it a...

00:08:44.000 It's a website.

00:08:46.000 Can we see it?

00:08:47.000 Yeah, I got it right up in the article.

00:08:48.000 BuzzFeed.

00:08:49.000 These six easy steps will help you spot fake news every time.

00:08:53.000 Step one.

00:08:55.000 Does it come from BuzzFeed?

00:09:00.000 Again, here's the thing.

00:09:01.000 If BuzzFeed did not get caught...

00:09:05.000 If CNN did not get caught, today they would still be running with fake news.

00:09:10.000 Today they'd still be using the term.

00:09:11.000 It was all over, every single panel, every single show on primetime.

00:09:15.000 Fake news is a real problem.

00:09:16.000 Van Jones, yes, yes, I have emotional whiplash from fake news.

00:09:19.000 Fake news is a problem.

00:09:20.000 What do we do?

00:09:20.000 The principled press, as Meryl Streep talked about it, the principled press, the ones who ran with this story, who Seth Meyers is now condemning and using as the fulcrum for saying, let's do away with fake news, they're the ones who created the colloquialism Buzzfeed?

00:09:34.000 You can clearly see?

00:09:36.000 Buzzfeed!

00:09:37.000 Do you not understand?

00:09:39.000 Here's the problem with liberals now.

00:09:41.000 They're children who've never been spanked and put to bed.

00:09:44.000 And as much we know, I opposed Donald Trump in some policy issues.

00:09:48.000 I do love that he is bending them over his knee and he's telling them who their daddy is.

00:09:54.000 In the sense that, okay, you want to run on fake news?

00:09:57.000 Listen, Donald Trump has published some conspiracy theories that are uncorroborated.

00:10:01.000 Donald Trump is an offender of that.

00:10:02.000 I understand that as well.

00:10:04.000 But these other people have lost the moral high ground.

00:10:07.000 And that's why I find it so funny because Seth Meyers was just...

00:10:10.000 I mean, he was always talking about fake news.

00:10:12.000 He's a leftist who championed the cause.

00:10:13.000 By the way, we're not using these sites because they're not mainstream.

00:10:16.000 Have you ever watched Samantha Bee?

00:10:18.000 Her references are nearly always Solon and Vox.

00:10:22.000 Unironically.

00:10:23.000 No, unironically.

00:10:24.000 And I'm pretty sure Seth Meyers uses the same crew.

00:10:26.000 He just doesn't show his sources.

00:10:29.000 But I do wonder, all of a sudden, right, Seth Meyers has decided he needs to pivot away from...

00:10:35.000 So fake news is done.

00:10:36.000 It's a term.

00:10:36.000 But you've been pushing it for months.

00:10:38.000 Why could Seth Meyers...

00:10:40.000 Why is he upset now about fake news when he's pushing fake...

00:10:42.000 Hold on.

00:10:43.000 Is there a reason?

00:10:45.000 Is it possible...

00:10:50.000 The intelligence community briefed both the president and the president-elect with allegations that the Russian government has compromising information.

00:10:59.000 Nobody has sourced it.

00:11:01.000 So where are we doing?

00:11:02.000 I think it was based on an MI6 British investigator.

00:11:04.000 Right.

00:11:04.000 Also says that Hillary Clinton and groups that wanted Hillary Clinton to win may have been behind the investigations themselves.

00:11:10.000 The press report was about them going to the president.

00:11:14.000 And it says that they never briefed him on it.

00:11:16.000 I believe it said they did brief him on it.

00:11:18.000 Well, he has said that he is not aware of that.

00:11:21.000 Okay.

00:11:21.000 That concerns me.

00:11:23.000 Oh! 0.60

00:11:25.000 There it is!

00:11:27.000 So the same thing, I just want to make this clear. 0.95

00:11:30.000 Seth Meyers bitches about fake news.

00:11:32.000 BuzzFeed tells you how to spot fake news. 0.94

00:11:34.000 BuzzFeed runs a fake story.

00:11:35.000 CNN runs it.

00:11:36.000 And Seth Meyers not only brings it up on his show, it wasn't part of the monologue for some jokes.

00:11:41.000 I understand that, right?

00:11:42.000 Sometimes you pick some topics where you're like, eh, this is weak, but it's funny material.

00:11:45.000 He grilled...

00:11:47.000 A direct employee, is that the term?

00:11:50.000 Employee of Donald Trump, will we say?

00:11:52.000 He grilled a direct associate of Donald Trump repeatedly, repeatedly, and insinuated that she was lying in what now we know, it turns out to be an entirely vindicated stance. 0.99

00:11:52.000 Yeah. 0.99

00:12:05.000 She was right, Seth Meyers was wrong.

00:12:08.000 He was running with this as news, asking Kellyanne Conway.

00:12:11.000 Now that it's wrong, today, let's do away with fake news, right?

00:12:14.000 Like the hipsters, they are.

00:12:16.000 Fake news is over, people.

00:12:17.000 I'll tell you what.

00:12:18.000 For us, it's not.

00:12:19.000 But as far as leftists having the moral high ground and accusing everyone else like us here of being fake news, you might have that right.

00:12:29.000 That's over.

00:12:31.000 That's over.

00:12:32.000 Huh?

00:12:33.000 What?

00:12:34.000 What?

00:12:35.000 What? What? What?

00:12:38.000 Felix, you're here.

00:12:39.000 Hello, world. Come on. Dormio.

00:12:42.000 Hello, world. Come on. Dormio.

00:12:47.000 Hello.

00:12:48.000 Hello.

00:12:52.000 Hey! 0.99

00:12:53.000 No, Hopper, you're not supposed to be on there.

00:12:54.000 Get off.

00:12:55.000 Get off, that's the new Dormio.

00:12:56.000 I know it's soft and comfortable on your back.

00:12:59.000 Go.

00:12:59.000 Hello, Mattress, my old friend.

00:13:14.000 I've come to lay with you again.

00:13:19.000 Because of vision, I was dreaming of you and I together sleeping.

00:13:28.000 And the comfort that was planted in my brain still remains within the sound of silence.

00:13:46.000 Dormio mattresses.

00:13:49.000 Sleepwithcrowder.com for specials and free shipping.

00:13:52.000 And a pillow!

00:13:56.000 - When it's time to party, we will party hard.

00:14:24.000 All right, glad to be back.

00:14:25.000 Matt Eisman from Celebrity Apprentice coming up later after this break.

00:14:29.000 So we have a lot to get to.

00:14:31.000 Okay.

00:14:32.000 Marley was dead to begin with.

00:14:33.000 Let me start with this.

00:14:35.000 Reza Aslan, who's one of the biggest Islamic apologists you see out there on cable news, has somehow gotten a pass as though he's an intellectually honest or critical thinker who presents very compelling arguments for Islam.

00:14:51.000 We've had so many people saying, why don't you have him on?

00:14:53.000 It's very hard.

00:14:54.000 We'll have our booker come on with the list of people who've refused to do the program.

00:14:58.000 Reza Aslan is a social justice warrior personified.

00:15:03.000 This is what I would like to presuppose.

00:15:04.000 Reza Aslan is not an intellectual.

00:15:06.000 He's a social justice warrior, just like a Lacey Green, just like a Bernie Sanders, just like a Vox.

00:15:12.000 And I think by the end of this segment, I can prove it to you.

00:15:17.000 Let's roll the first clip. 0.80

00:15:18.000 You are, according to the FBI, more likely to die as the result of faulty furniture than by an Islamic terrorist. 1.00

00:15:26.000 So you should really be scared of your lazy boy. 0.94

00:15:30.000 Okay, so right away you should be starting to see the similarities.

00:15:34.000 This is an argument?

00:15:35.000 No, no, this argument is intellectually lazy.

00:15:39.000 Boy, see what I did there?

00:15:41.000 This is so, this is, this is, it's obviously, it's such an intellectually lazy argument.

00:15:47.000 Okay, a couple of things.

00:15:48.000 First off, I don't know what kind of numbers you're using, because...

00:15:50.000 Barack Obama's farewell address, he just said that there were no known terrorist attacks on American soil under his watch, that things were better, that global terrorism was down.

00:15:59.000 I don't know, Fort Hood, Chattanooga, Boston bombers.

00:16:02.000 So maybe those aren't being included where he's talking about the unlikelihood of a terrorist attack.

00:16:06.000 Globally, they occur all the time, every day.

00:16:09.000 People are killed in the name of Islam at very, very high record numbers consistently.

00:16:14.000 So I don't know the numbers that he's using there, but...

00:16:17.000 Let's remove that from the table, okay?

00:16:18.000 I'm going to give him as much leeway as possible.

00:16:21.000 A lazy boy, a piece of furniture is an inanimate object.

00:16:24.000 It doesn't have an evil ideology.

00:16:28.000 It doesn't have a violent ideology.

00:16:31.000 That's like saying, well, statistically, it's very unlikely that you will be sexually...

00:16:37.000 There are not many... 1.00

00:16:38.000 You're more likely to drown in the pool, Johnny, than be raped by a pedophile, so just don't walk by the pedophile's house. 0.99

00:16:47.000 You can't fix random furniture breaking. 1.00

00:16:51.000 I don't know where he's buying his furniture.

00:16:53.000 Maybe Ikea, probably.

00:16:55.000 Maybe Ikea. 0.91

00:16:56.000 Well, the Swedes, they're overrun with the Islamists. 1.00

00:16:58.000 It would make sense.

00:16:59.000 Plus, liberals love Ikea.

00:17:00.000 Yes, they do.

00:17:04.000 Sorry, I'm going to stop with the Swedish meatballs jokes.

00:17:06.000 I could just go into the Swedish chef gag.

00:17:08.000 Here's the deal with that.

00:17:10.000 Anyone who's watching this, if you want to think this is someone who is intellectually genuine... 0.98

00:17:14.000 Do you really think he's dumb enough to not see what a horrible comparison that is? 0.92

00:17:19.000 That's not a valid analogy. 0.99

00:17:21.000 Chairs, furniture, they do not have an ideology that can kill people.

00:17:27.000 Islam does in record numbers, so don't try and compare them. 1.00

00:17:31.000 Next clip.

00:17:32.000 I grew up in a predominantly Mexican community, so I just told everybody I was Mexican.

00:17:39.000 Oh, practicing Islamic Takeya as a toddler.

00:17:42.000 Very nice.

00:17:43.000 For those of you who don't know, look up Islam Takeya. 1.00

00:17:46.000 The hardest part for me when I'm being interviewed is to tamp down my astonishment.

00:17:46.000 Next clip.

00:17:54.000 The question at the bottom of the screen that everyone is looking at, does Islam promote violence?

00:17:59.000 The thing that's mostly going through my mind is calm down.

00:18:03.000 Calm down.

00:18:04.000 The justice system in Muslim countries, you don't think, is somehow more primitive or subjugates women more than in other countries.

00:18:12.000 Did you hear what you just said?

00:18:14.000 You said in Muslim countries.

00:18:17.000 Yes.

00:18:18.000 Yes, she did.

00:18:19.000 This is another tactic of the social justice warrior.

00:18:21.000 Just act like it's so absurd.

00:18:23.000 It's like people could vote for Donald Trump and they're not racist.

00:18:28.000 Did you see what you just said?

00:18:30.000 Let me feign offense with my perfectly strand-plucked eyebrows.

00:18:35.000 It's a perfectly valid question.

00:18:38.000 As a matter of fact, I think it's a necessary question.

00:18:41.000 Muslim countries.

00:18:42.000 Now, you should be happy about this, Reza Aslan.

00:18:44.000 She's not saying all Muslims, hashtag not all Muslims.

00:18:46.000 She's saying, as a general rule, in Islamic countries, do we acknowledge that maybe there's a systemic problem in their treatment of women, let alone gays, let alone people who aren't Muslim?

00:18:57.000 We'll get to that in a moment.

00:18:58.000 She is saying, as a general rule in the Islamic world, does it stand to reason...

00:19:04.000 Your Honor, to say that they have not stepped up with the rest of the modernized world and Western society.

00:19:13.000 And he asks, well, that's an unreasonable question.

00:19:16.000 Well, what about the fact that I think we have these sources?

00:19:19.000 globally and Muslim believe that women should always obey husbands.

00:19:23.000 Try and tell that to MTV Feminist News and see what they think about it. 1.00

00:19:27.000 If you were to say Christians did it.

00:19:28.000 53% believe women can be punished for not wearing veils.

00:19:32.000 More than half the Muslims in the world believe women should not have the right to divorce or equal rights to inheritance.

00:19:39.000 These are not extremists.

00:19:40.000 These are statistics, verifiable statistics, across the Islamic world.

00:19:43.000 Does that mean that there aren't variances between, say, Indonesia, where actually they might be pretty nice to women, but there's record church burnings as it occurs with Christians right now, but we don't talk about that?

00:19:52.000 No, it doesn't mean that. 0.99

00:19:53.000 Of course, Pakistan's going to be worse, and Saudi Arabia may be worse with gay people, and the UAE may be worse with rape. 0.99

00:20:00.000 We understand that there are variances across the Islamic world, but for her to ask the question as a general rule, hashtag not all Muslims, Are equal rights a problem in the Islamic world? 0.95

00:20:10.000 And Reza Aslan wants you to believe that that is an unreasonable question that can be attributed to something that social justice warriors constantly accuse their opponents of.

00:20:20.000 And we'll get to that.

00:20:21.000 Let's go to the next clip.

00:20:22.000 Please don't generalize about 1.7 billion people in the world.

00:20:27.000 Okay, let's not.

00:20:29.000 Let's not generalize about 1.7.

00:20:31.000 How about 1.2 billion?

00:20:33.000 How about 1.2 billion people in the world?

00:20:35.000 I've got some statistics here.

00:20:36.000 We did a video on this.

00:20:37.000 Ben Shapiro did a great video on this.

00:20:39.000 We have 52% of American Muslims who support some form of Sharia law.

00:20:43.000 A quarter of American Muslims, the most moderate in the world, support jihad.

00:20:47.000 Then if you look in other countries, like Pakistan, you have 75% of people who support strict Sharia law, over two-thirds.

00:20:54.000 Support honor killings.

00:20:55.000 You can go across the spectrum.

00:20:57.000 You can go to Saudi Arabia.

00:20:58.000 You can go to Indonesia.

00:20:58.000 You can go to Pakistan.

00:20:59.000 You can go to Malaysia.

00:21:00.000 You can go to UAE. You can go to Iran.

00:21:01.000 You can go to Egypt.

00:21:02.000 You'll find these numbers pretty consistent.

00:21:05.000 At least 20-something percent of Muslims, if they, of course, aren't engaged in terrorism, but actively support terrorist organizations or believe that it's justified. 0.99

00:21:16.000 1.2 billion Muslims who believe in some form of Sharia law or death for apostasy, right? 0.92

00:21:23.000 We know that.

00:21:24.000 Now, I know you'll say, well, Sharia law, it's not the same in every country.

00:21:26.000 Okay, that's true.

00:21:27.000 Let's allow for some variances. 0.87

00:21:28.000 Sharia law generally has some pillars that are pretty important, meaning debitude, subjugation of people who are non-Muslim, meaning women are treated differently from men under the law, meaning non-Muslims are treated differently under the law, meaning gay people tend to be stoned to death, meaning women need certain people for rape, meaning there is death for apostasy. 0.88

00:21:44.000 Those are generally considered.

00:21:45.000 I know there's different Sharia law, but if you look across the board as a general rule, hashtag not all Muslims, those tend to be included in Sharia law.

00:21:57.000 Let's go conservatively.

00:21:58.000 1.2.

00:21:59.000 Let's take that back.

00:22:00.000 Let's take it to less than half.

00:22:01.000 Let's say 500 million Muslims in the world believe in Sharia law or 500 million Muslims believe in honor killings or death for apostasy. 0.85

00:22:09.000 We know guaranteed it's much higher than that.

00:22:12.000 I'm saying let's scale back 1.2 billion.

00:22:14.000 Let's scale it back to 900 million.

00:22:15.000 Let's scale it back to 500 million Muslims on planet Earth who believe in implementing laws that violate basic fundamental human rights. 1.00

00:22:23.000 That's not a problem.

00:22:25.000 Am I making a generalization with 500 million people?

00:22:28.000 The Westboro Baptist Church, who are talked about every time they send out a press release, have about 16 members, and two of them have flippers.

00:22:37.000 Next clip.

00:22:38.000 You're a Muslim, so why did you write a book about the founder of Christianity?

00:22:44.000 Well, to be clear, I am a scholar of religions with four degrees, including one in the New Testament and fluency in Biblical Greek. 1.00

00:22:53.000 To be fair, that was an incredibly stupid question. 0.99

00:22:57.000 That question was everything that is wrong with cable news. 1.00

00:23:00.000 I worked at Fox News for four years.

00:23:02.000 I've appeared at every cable network known to man. 1.00

00:23:04.000 And I agree that that was an incredibly stupid question. 1.00

00:23:08.000 It was a leading question. 1.00

00:23:10.000 It was irrelevant.

00:23:12.000 That's one for you, Reza Aslan.

00:23:15.000 After about ten years of being cable news' favorite Muslim... 1.00

00:23:19.000 I've come to the realization that I don't think it's doing any good.

00:23:23.000 Bigotry is not a result of ignorance, it's a result of fear.

00:23:26.000 And fear is impervious to data.

00:23:29.000 Fear is impervious to information.

00:23:33.000 Okay!

00:23:34.000 Do you see it there?

00:23:36.000 I know when I said Reza Aslan is a social justice warrior, a lot of people who are still in their conversion process from the Young Turks... 0.84

00:23:41.000 No!

00:23:42.000 No.

00:23:43.000 No!

00:23:43.000 I don't want to...

00:23:45.000 He's an intellectual.

00:23:47.000 Did you see what he just did there?

00:23:48.000 He did the exact same thing every social justice leftist does.

00:23:52.000 He said, I used to do it, but now I absolve myself of the requirement to make intellectual arguments because all of my opponents, anyone who disagrees with me, are bigoted.

00:24:03.000 Bigotry is impervious to information.

00:24:05.000 Do you see what he just did?

00:24:06.000 It was the same thing that the Obama supporters did with the Tea Partiers, the same thing that Hillary supporters and Bernie people did with Donald Trump supporters.

00:24:14.000 The same thing the social justice warriors do online, which is if you disagree with me, you're racist.

00:24:19.000 Reza Aslan, someone who has been held out as the pinnacle of intellectual discussion regarding Islamic apologetics, just said, I no longer need to argue my point because everyone who disagrees with me is a bigot.

00:24:36.000 I could rest my case here, but let's go further.

00:24:39.000 In this country, we went from overwhelming majorities who were against same-sex marriage to overwhelming majorities supporting same-sex marriage within the span of a couple of years.

00:24:52.000 Right, okay, so when has that span of a couple years occurred anywhere in the Islamic world yet?

00:24:57.000 Reza Aslan, Mr.

00:25:00.000 Leftist, I know you're incredibly anti-Israel and support Palestine. 1.00

00:25:03.000 How did your meeting with the Hamas committee go?

00:25:06.000 Did they notice your lisp?

00:25:08.000 Perchance?

00:25:09.000 I notice you're still intact, so I guess not.

00:25:12.000 Let's go through statistics.

00:25:14.000 Turkey's violent homophobia. 0.98

00:25:16.000 Of course, hate crimes against gay people. 0.87

00:25:18.000 If it occurred anywhere in the modern world, it would be all over YouTube and Facebook, and they wouldn't even remove it as fake news. 0.99

00:25:25.000 Saudi Arabia, they push for gays to be executed. 0.91

00:25:28.000 Bangladesh, let's look there. 0.94

00:25:29.000 That's a country I think Reza Aslan has used as one of his examples for moderate Islam.

00:25:34.000 What are there, 13 Islamic countries that officially...

00:25:37.000 13.

00:25:38.000 So, I get it, hate crimes at parades and stuff, you know, that's anecdotal.

00:25:42.000 Again, let's give Reza Aslan as much leeway as possible.

00:25:45.000 All those hate crimes that occur against gay people and record rates that don't occur in the modern world, let's remove those. 0.98

00:25:51.000 Still 13 Islamic countries that kill you for being a sprite. 1.00

00:25:57.000 So, he praises that here in the United States. 0.58

00:26:01.000 Why don't you go out of your way to talk about where it's still a problem?

00:26:05.000 He seems very obsessed with the gay issue too, constantly defending it.

00:26:08.000 There's a lot of articles out there.

00:26:09.000 Maybe he's just a compassionate person.

00:26:09.000 But you know what?

00:26:11.000 Next clip.

00:26:12.000 What changed people's minds was Will and Grace, was Modern Family, was watching people who were gay on television being, you know, normal.

00:26:25.000 They're struggling with the same issues that you're struggling with.

00:26:28.000 They are human beings.

00:26:31.000 And so for the last few years, I've decided that what I'm going to do is try to change people's minds through pop culture, through film and television.

00:26:39.000 Ah, there it is.

00:26:40.000 And it's a great point.

00:26:41.000 It's a great point from Reza Aslan.

00:26:43.000 It also serves to debunk the idea that conservatives or anyone who's not a social justice warrior is some crazy conspiracy theorist when they believe that the entertainment industry and media are colluding against their values.

00:26:54.000 Here you go. 0.99

00:26:55.000 Straight from the Islamic horse's possibly gay mouth. 1.00

00:27:03.000 Thank God he's not Clockboy is all I'm saying, because they've got deep legal pockets. 0.99

00:27:08.000 Apparently he sold us stuff on Etsy.

00:27:10.000 So...

00:27:11.000 Watch last night's episode.

00:27:14.000 You'll understand what I'm talking about.

00:27:15.000 Reza Aslan here says...

00:27:17.000 I am going to use Will and Grace, you know, modern family.

00:27:22.000 He says Hollywood serves to brainwash people.

00:27:24.000 Hollywood serves to act as proper.

00:27:26.000 Because here's the deal, right?

00:27:27.000 Is he using Hollywood to bring people together?

00:27:29.000 Does he want to use pop culture to bring people together?

00:27:30.000 No, he doesn't.

00:27:31.000 Because he just dismissed half of the entire country as bigoted and racist.

00:27:34.000 Remember that?

00:27:35.000 So, what does he want to do? 0.80

00:27:37.000 He wants to use pop culture, media, news, to dismiss and brainwash everybody into believing that all these people are racist, and they're bigoted, and they're homophobic, and they're transphobic. 0.98

00:27:47.000 So let's put more trannies in Superwoman. 1.00

00:27:49.000 Let's put more gay people in, I don't know, any single show. 0.97

00:27:53.000 Whatever it is, at every single turn, they have to put something in there to inject a social justice... 0.99

00:27:58.000 We need more superheroes who are black. 0.92

00:28:00.000 We need more female superheroes who have hijabs. 1.00

00:28:03.000 We need to do that, because now pop culture.

00:28:04.000 So they're framing you all as bigoted.

00:28:07.000 This is Reza Aslan, the great intellectual Islamic thinker.

00:28:09.000 People who disagree with me are bigoted.

00:28:10.000 Really?

00:28:11.000 Maybe people who disagree with you...

00:28:12.000 Does it mean they're bigoted?

00:28:14.000 If they disagree with passages in the Quran that say, kill infidels wherever you find them, Surah 434, I could rattle off some verses for you. 0.79

00:28:22.000 Does it mean they're bigoted? 0.72

00:28:24.000 Let's say they don't even have an opinion, but they're a bit concerned that according to Hadith, Muhammad called for the deaths of Christians and Jews as his last words?

00:28:31.000 Does it mean you're bigoted if Muhammad beat his six-year-old wife?

00:28:34.000 Does it mean you're bigoted if Muhammad came out and said, you know what, I think I was wrestling with a demon, and his wife said, no, no, no, that was an angel, and that's how the religion started? 0.80

00:28:42.000 Is it bigoted if Christians maybe go, listen, I think this is a perversion of the Christian faith, or even Jewish people who say, you know what, I think this is a perversion of the Old Testament, because they think that everything after Abraham's blessing was a lie?

00:28:51.000 Is it bigoted for people to have any kind of apprehensions with Islam?

00:28:56.000 Reza Aslan says, yes, that can be the only reason, and he is going to serve the rest of his life brainwashing the public to ensure that they agree with him.

00:29:06.000 Ladies and gentlemen, I rest my case.

00:29:09.000 Let's move on to the next story.

00:29:12.000 A little lighter, Steve Harvey.

00:29:14.000 Okay, so Steve Harvey made this joke.

00:29:16.000 I actually, I know our EP Scott doesn't like Steve Harvey.

00:29:18.000 I think he's funny.

00:29:19.000 I always think he's funny.

00:29:20.000 What do you think?

00:29:20.000 I've always thought he's funny.

00:29:21.000 He's a good host.

00:29:22.000 I think he's funny, too.

00:29:23.000 I think he's a good host.

00:29:24.000 I mean, I know he's an Obama.

00:29:26.000 I know he's probably more liberal, but I don't care.

00:29:28.000 I've thought he's pretty funny.

00:29:31.000 Well, let's just go.

00:29:33.000 This is what everyone is mad about.

00:29:34.000 He made this joke.

00:29:35.000 Finally, here's one.

00:29:37.000 How to date a white woman a practical guide for Asian men.

00:29:41.000 I know he's just doing the black thing, but I find it funny. 1.00

00:29:54.000 That's one page, too.

00:29:57.000 Excuse me.

00:29:59.000 Do you like Asian men?

00:30:01.000 No.

00:30:02.000 Thank you.

00:30:06.000 People got so offended by that.

00:30:08.000 Cue HuffPo outrage. 0.77

00:30:11.000 Jordan Huffington Post, of course, was outraged. 0.87

00:30:13.000 Steve Harvey thinks the idea of being attracted to an Asian man is laughable.

00:30:17.000 The media overreacted.

00:30:18.000 What was it?

00:30:19.000 What was this one to the?

00:30:20.000 Oh, the blog.

00:30:21.000 I guess this is pretty popular.

00:30:22.000 Angry Asian man dot com. 0.63

00:30:24.000 Is that the one that we found?

00:30:25.000 Yeah.

00:30:26.000 Here's the funny thing.

00:30:27.000 Do we have the quote?

00:30:28.000 So angry Asian man dot com wrote about how this is unacceptable.

00:30:31.000 And I'm reading a quote directly from this blog. 0.99

00:30:34.000 That's how a TV host can shamelessly shit on Asian man on national television. 0.99

00:30:41.000 So in being offended by stereotypes, he perpetuates a stereotype. 0.99

00:30:45.000 Let me read it, and he probably wrote it in his inner monologue. 0.99

00:30:47.000 That's how a TV host can shamelessly shit on Asian man on national TV. Like Dr. 0.99

00:30:54.000 Ho with the... 0.88

00:30:55.000 You have to poop every day by my cleanse. 0.99

00:30:58.000 When you don't go poop every day, you feel bloated, sluggish, uncomfortable. 0.98

00:31:03.000 Steve Harvey, you make me uncomfortable. 0.99

00:31:04.000 You go poop on the Asian man. 1.00

00:31:09.000 The point is this. 0.98

00:31:10.000 He made a joke, which I thought was actually pretty funny.

00:31:13.000 Yeah, it was funny.

00:31:13.000 I think your joke was far more racist than Steve Harvey's.

00:31:16.000 My joke is definitely more racist than Steve Harvey's. 0.68

00:31:18.000 And I'm not black, so I don't have as much of a pass.

00:31:20.000 Send your letters.

00:31:21.000 I'm fine with them.

00:31:22.000 I'm used to them at this point.

00:31:26.000 So, everyone gets outraged, right?

00:31:27.000 And basically, I've had this happen, where HuffPo literally fact-checked my jokes.

00:31:33.000 So, in this process, they were effectively fact-checking the joke of Steve Harvey, which is a joke.

00:31:37.000 This is why the left ruins comedy.

00:31:39.000 This is why the best comedians, I guarantee you, out of the next decade are not going to be leftists.

00:31:43.000 They're not fun at all anymore.

00:31:43.000 No.

00:31:44.000 Amy Schumer, not fun anymore. 0.99

00:31:46.000 She was funny.

00:31:47.000 Now, when she decides to push an agenda, it just gets to be too much.

00:31:51.000 Here's the deal.

00:31:51.000 What if when you're fact-checking a joke, the original joke from Steve Harvey is actually more accurate?

00:31:56.000 Now this is going to be super racist, statistically.

00:32:00.000 So, Asian men actually do have a tougher time dating.

00:32:03.000 This comes from OkCupid. 0.74

00:32:05.000 OkCupid repeated that women penalize Asian men when making their selection, and non-black men... 0.94

00:32:12.000 Penalized Asian women, black women. 0.99

00:32:14.000 So non-black men, this is just the dating profiles when they looked at it. 0.96

00:32:17.000 Non-black men, so that could include Asians or white people, they tended to prefer people who were not black women.

00:32:24.000 Women tended to overwhelmingly prefer men who were not Asian when given the choice.

00:32:30.000 Does this mean that Asians are unattractive?

00:32:32.000 No. 1.00

00:32:32.000 Does it mean that Asians are ugly? 1.00

00:32:34.000 No. 0.99

00:32:34.000 What it means is that to most women who are not Asian, I think we found this finally. 0.99

00:32:57.000 Do we have that link up there on the t-shirt study?

00:33:00.000 The sweaty t-shirt study.

00:33:01.000 This one was amazing to me.

00:33:03.000 So this is where smell knows no racial background.

00:33:07.000 It knows no ethnicity.

00:33:08.000 It knows no social class.

00:33:10.000 They gave women sweaty t-shirts for men who had worked out.

00:33:14.000 And women innately preferred to sweat for various t-shirts. 1.00

00:33:19.000 They preferred to sweat for men who had higher testosterone levels, who had better symmetry, which is a sign of good genetics.

00:33:25.000 These are things that women are attracted to. 1.00

00:33:27.000 Now, the reason women tend to not be attracted, non-Asian women tend to not be attracted to Asian men, Asians tend to be smaller than the general population, physically. 0.99

00:33:36.000 They tend to be smaller, right?

00:33:38.000 So, by comparison, women who aren't Asian, who aren't smaller, where it's a... 1.00

00:33:43.000 It's a more effective ratio, Asian women to Asian men.

00:33:46.000 White women are a little bit taller. 1.00

00:33:48.000 They tend to prefer bigger men. 0.98

00:33:49.000 They tend to prefer men who look like they could physically provide. 0.61

00:33:53.000 Strapping men, bigger joints, early.

00:33:55.000 These are signs of higher testosterone.

00:33:57.000 Not signs that, as a general rule, I know someone will send me a picture of an Asian bodybuilder, a general rule that Asian men tend to have as attributes.

00:34:06.000 On the flip side, women actually, they tended to, Milo Yiannopoulos talked about this on the show, a lot of them liked black men, these same women.

00:34:13.000 For the opposite reasons.

00:34:14.000 Black men tend to be taller. 0.93

00:34:16.000 Black men tend to be muscular. 0.99

00:34:17.000 Black men physically tend to have attributes that women find effectively attractive in a mate.

00:34:23.000 On the flip side, men found Asian women to actually be pretty attractive. 0.99

00:34:27.000 It doesn't say in the study if they found them more attractive than white women, but men on average who weren't black found black women less attractive. 0.68

00:34:34.000 As a general rule, black women tend to be bigger. 1.00

00:34:37.000 Black women tend to be stronger. 1.00

00:34:39.000 Black women, for a lot of men, men are looking for women who they believe will carry on their offspring most effectively, will be mothering, will be nurturing, look soft. 0.51

00:34:49.000 Look warm, kind.

00:34:51.000 These are simply statistics that people felt they had certain perceptions of people from different races when it came to dating.

00:34:57.000 So, long way around to say this.

00:34:59.000 Steve Harvey made a joke.

00:35:01.000 It should have just been a joke.

00:35:02.000 But because liberals fact-checked the joke, we have to fact-check their fact-checking of a joke.

00:35:08.000 And the joke was more accurate than the outrage.

00:35:12.000 By the way, something that's ironic is women completely change their tune on Asian men when they notice that they have an average higher income.

00:35:19.000 So, there's a silver lining.

00:35:19.000 Oh.

00:35:21.000 There's silver lining for my dating life!

00:35:23.000 I no longer need to feel ashamed, sluggish, disadvantaged, uncomfortable.

00:35:28.000 Matt Eisman coming up next!

00:35:30.000 the hole!

00:36:23.000 Dormio mattresses.

00:36:26.000 Sleepwithcrowder.com for specials and free shipping.

00:36:29.000 and a pillow.

00:36:30.000 All right, glad to have this next guest.

00:36:56.000 He is a regular.

00:36:57.000 He's been on several times.

00:36:58.000 One time he was actually yelling at housekeeping because he was doing it from a hotel, so always very bizarre locales.

00:37:05.000 Now he's in his car, so this is, I don't know how legal this is.

00:37:10.000 Don't answer that, Matt.

00:37:11.000 I pulled over.

00:37:12.000 Right, that's what he's saying.

00:37:13.000 But he'll still be yelling at someone.

00:37:15.000 Yes, he'll still be yelling at someone.

00:37:18.000 That's funny. 0.91

00:37:18.000 Not Gay Jared! 0.91

00:37:20.000 You know, it's funny.

00:37:20.000 What's going on?

00:37:21.000 He does the same thing, only Not Gay Jared just yells at the Jews. 0.96

00:37:24.000 And I don't know why that is. 0.94

00:37:25.000 I can't help it.

00:37:26.000 I can't help it.

00:37:27.000 I'm a quarter Jew.

00:37:28.000 You can yell at me.

00:37:29.000 Well, that doesn't surprise me because you were a doctor.

00:37:32.000 So we should introduce him at Matt Eisman, at Matt Eisman, hashtag Celebrity Apprentice.

00:37:37.000 He's on this season of Celebrity Apprentice, along with our other good friend, Chael Sonnen, who will also be on the program.

00:37:43.000 Okay, Matt knows this.

00:37:45.000 A little inside baseball.

00:37:46.000 Chael was supposed to be on today, and then he said he was sick, and Matt was supposed to be next week.

00:37:51.000 So you can find out for us if he's really sick.

00:37:56.000 I would love to know because I'm going to his fight on the 21st against Tito Ortiz and I don't want a half-assed Chael in the ring there.

00:38:03.000 I'm expecting full octane summit.

00:38:06.000 Well, you can't get full octane because there's drug testing.

00:38:09.000 But he's the first to admit it.

00:38:14.000 I'm older than Chael, and that was one of the questions I had for him, was how good are the drugs?

00:38:20.000 And he just said it was remarkable the recovery time, like how much it would cut down on recovery time.

00:38:26.000 And it's one of those things where, you know, bandit and athletics have a level playing field, whatever.

00:38:30.000 But as you age, I think the sense of using these at lower doses, you're not looking for maximum performance.

00:38:37.000 Sure.

00:38:37.000 But just for recovery, like I look at my dad, he had knee surgery.

00:38:40.000 I'm like, why are you not on HGH? Yeah.

00:38:43.000 It's been proven over the past few decades to be unbelievably effective at helping people recover from injury and work.

00:38:49.000 And that's where they were created.

00:38:50.000 Like Anivar is a steroid that they'll give to people, very common for wrestlers.

00:38:53.000 They used to call it the wrestler's steroid because it wasn't like a bodybuilding steroid.

00:38:57.000 It would lean people out and help them with strength, but it wouldn't add muscle.

00:39:01.000 I don't know if it was created, but it still is prescribed to cancer patients and AIDS patients and burn victims because of what it does for...

00:39:09.000 We'll talk about that after the year.

00:39:11.000 I know a guy.

00:39:11.000 Mark Ripeto knows a guy, I have no doubt.

00:39:13.000 Or Chael. 0.57

00:39:14.000 Because of what it does for collagen synthesis, right?

00:39:16.000 And these people are tearing their ligaments.

00:39:19.000 So yeah, I totally agree as they get older in life.

00:39:24.000 But again, that's another issue that's kind of been politicized.

00:39:27.000 Another issue that was just politicized is your show, Celebrity Apprentice.

00:39:30.000 Now you're at the epicenter of this controversy.

00:39:33.000 What's the vibe like?

00:39:34.000 Is it like somebody died?

00:39:36.000 Or is it like your former boss is president?

00:39:38.000 I don't know.

00:39:39.000 It's surreal because we, you know, when we shot it, we shot it last February.

00:39:43.000 And at that point, Trump was very much a long shot.

00:39:47.000 And NBC had severed ties with him.

00:39:49.000 He was not at all involved.

00:39:50.000 The show, it didn't, you know, it moved production from New York to L.A. There was, you know, he's, the talk of him as a producer.

00:39:59.000 Speaking of professional programming, aim your camera down a little bit, Matt.

00:40:01.000 We're professionals here.

00:40:04.000 No, not that.

00:40:05.000 Now we don't just want to see your chin.

00:40:07.000 Okay, there we go.

00:40:08.000 That works better.

00:40:09.000 Thank you.

00:40:09.000 Okay, continue.

00:40:10.000 Let me put it over here.

00:40:11.000 I'm in my car.

00:40:12.000 Yeah, that works.

00:40:15.000 So Trump, he had no involvement in the show.

00:40:18.000 He was not involved in the shooting.

00:40:20.000 There was no talks of him.

00:40:22.000 He's not looking at daily cuts of the show, giving notes on production.

00:40:25.000 It was supposed to air in September, but I think they felt that given the political climate with Trump, With the election going on, that it was probably a more polarizing time.

00:40:34.000 So they're like, postpone it.

00:40:36.000 And I'm sure in the back of their minds, they're thinking that, you know, probably the situation would resolve itself.

00:40:41.000 Instead, he wins.

00:40:43.000 And then...

00:40:44.000 I've got to imagine people there were like, wait, wait, wait, what?

00:40:50.000 They didn't know what to do.

00:40:51.000 That totally changed their season plans for the show.

00:40:55.000 I think so.

00:40:56.000 But at the same point, you figure at that point, it felt like once the election happened, people were the daily discussion of polarizing.

00:41:04.000 I felt it actually was less polarizing.

00:41:06.000 Once he was elected, a lot of people made their peace.

00:41:08.000 There were still obviously people who felt this is the apocalypse personified.

00:41:13.000 But with the show, you know, again, we felt like the show was still a separate entity and that, you know, Trump would be focused on being president, but then it came out he was going to keep his name on as an executive producer.

00:41:26.000 You know this in entertainment.

00:41:27.000 He was involved in the creation of the show.

00:41:29.000 He had the title in the contract.

00:41:31.000 He was going to get his money either way.

00:41:33.000 He chose to keep his name on it, and that's whatever a power play.

00:41:37.000 Well, he just can't stop winning.

00:41:40.000 He keeps his name as the executive producer.

00:41:42.000 It distracts us all.

00:41:44.000 But then, you know, the ratings...

00:41:47.000 Our first episode were up against The Bachelor and football, and it wasn't...

00:41:52.000 The ratings weren't as good as I think they were hoping for.

00:41:55.000 And so, shockingly, then, the man who's president-elect and who is the EP on the show then calls out our current boss, Arnold Schwarzenegger.

00:42:05.000 And at that point, I was just like, this is above my pay grade.

00:42:08.000 I'm just happy to be involved in the show.

00:42:10.000 And honestly, you know, I think that I... Well, here's something, too.

00:42:15.000 In your defense, it's not really fair.

00:42:17.000 I looked at a study.

00:42:18.000 All shows were down by the same percentage point from the last time The Celebrity Apprentice premiered because of how many people have shifted to Hulu.

00:42:26.000 So, for example, even if you look at The Bachelor, I don't have the actual numbers, but if it was 5 million, their premiere, like, last season or two seasons ago, now it would be about 4.6 or 4.4.

00:42:36.000 And it was actually...

00:42:36.000 It's comparably not bad for Celebrity Apprentice.

00:42:39.000 The ratings were still good, but a lot of people watch these things on Hulu.

00:42:43.000 I mean, they call us unpluggers.

00:42:44.000 So as much as Trump keeps winning, he was a little off.

00:42:47.000 You're absolutely right.

00:42:49.000 Just the choices.

00:42:51.000 When you look at, like you said, whether it's watching streaming or FX with their programming or HBO or Showtime, there's so many more choices.

00:42:58.000 More people are consuming content, but they're just doing it in different ways.

00:43:01.000 So you're right.

00:43:01.000 When you look at a show 10 years ago, what was a hit?

00:43:04.000 It'd be 30 million people watching it.

00:43:06.000 Now, 7 million people is a big number.

00:43:09.000 Yeah, it is.

00:43:10.000 And you have kids doing that on YouTube channels, playing video games, making fart noises.

00:43:14.000 Right, right.

00:43:15.000 Which is essentially, that's what I do on Celebrity Apprentice.

00:43:18.000 That's all I'm good for.

00:43:19.000 Hours of fun.

00:43:21.000 What did you do on your challenge?

00:43:23.000 I like it.

00:43:25.000 For me, I mean, I'm looking over your shoulder.

00:43:27.000 You've got the Conan Crowder poster right there.

00:43:30.000 Yeah, and that's not good.

00:43:31.000 Jared is Red Sonja there.

00:43:32.000 Oh, I know.

00:43:33.000 And so it's amazing.

00:43:35.000 And to me, sorry, I'm getting notifications.

00:43:37.000 For me, it's been so awesome.

00:43:40.000 I couldn't be a bigger Schwarzenegger fan.

00:43:42.000 I mean, Predator, Commando, Terminator.

00:43:45.000 Well, you could be a bigger fan if you were his maid.

00:43:47.000 There's always a possibility of being a bigger fan.

00:43:51.000 Boss, I'm not laughing at you.

00:43:52.000 I'm laughing with you.

00:43:53.000 No, no, hold on.

00:43:54.000 By the way, just the most unattractive woman, like everyone watched it and they were like, oh, okay. 1.00

00:43:58.000 There was some story there, either some scotch and cigars or he was bored as hell, but Arnie, really?

00:44:05.000 Sorry, go ahead, Matt.

00:44:06.000 You have to go back into set.

00:44:09.000 The chance to work with Schwarzenegger made me one of his biggest fans.

00:44:14.000 It was an awesome show.

00:44:20.000 It's unfortunate that I think this show has become somewhat politicized because I think it's an entertaining show.

00:44:25.000 At the end of the day, we're all on there.

00:44:28.000 We're desperately looking for more attention.

00:44:31.000 For people to learn us in a different capacity.

00:44:34.000 But also, we do get to compete for charity.

00:44:36.000 And for me, I have rheumatoid arthritis.

00:44:38.000 I'm competing for the Arthritis Foundation.

00:44:40.000 Last week, I got to be project manager and I won.

00:44:43.000 And so I raised $50,000 for the charity.

00:44:45.000 More importantly, you get to raise awareness for my story and for people to be aware of this charity.

00:44:51.000 So in the end, I feel like I'm really proud to be a part of this show.

00:44:55.000 And it's unfortunate that it has become politicized.

00:44:57.000 Well, unfortunately, though, you have to do all this work for charity, and since you're a host for American Ninja Warrior, you're not making as much bank as some of the other people, so I hope they're tossing you on the side.

00:45:07.000 At this point, you know what?

00:45:09.000 This is a show that I think, you know, the longer you stay on the show, you don't get more money.

00:45:17.000 It really is just a chance to promote your charity more.

00:45:20.000 Funny enough, the longer Arsenio Hall was on the show, the less funny he got.

00:45:25.000 So I'm hoping that you avoid that.

00:45:30.000 It's...

00:45:31.000 He just sidestepped.

00:45:32.000 No, no, no.

00:45:34.000 I don't want to speak...

00:45:35.000 I think our CEO is a hilarious guy, but I will say, like, being on the show, it really is one of the more stressful situations, certainly in Hollywood.

00:45:46.000 It's been the hardest thing I've done since medical school, because you really are working on these tasks, and, you know, you're a competitor.

00:45:53.000 Your pride kicks in.

00:45:55.000 You don't want to lose.

00:45:55.000 You don't want to be embarrassed.

00:45:57.000 You don't want to be called out on the board.

00:45:58.000 And then, okay, so that aside, so Donald Trump is president.

00:46:01.000 He's kind of been insulting the show.

00:46:03.000 Are you conflicted with that as someone who I think leans more politically right?

00:46:07.000 You're kind of more centrist?

00:46:09.000 For me, I look at it as entertainment.

00:46:12.000 Our job is to entertain.

00:46:13.000 The show isn't a political show with Apprentice.

00:46:16.000 It's become politicized.

00:46:18.000 No one's out there espousing particular beliefs.

00:46:22.000 I think it's...

00:46:24.000 The goal for me as an entertainer is I'm trying to reach as many people as possible, whether it's on American Ninja Warrior or Celebrity Apprentice or social media, and try to entertain them and hopefully do some good.

00:46:35.000 So I think that, you know, I've seen on social media people saying they won't watch the show because of the association with the previous boss.

00:46:47.000 And I don't know that they would watch the show.

00:46:49.000 Have you had any people the other way saying they won't watch it because Donald Trump doesn't like you now?

00:46:54.000 I don't know.

00:46:55.000 It's hard to know, too, because as you know, on social media, a lot of people are just saying things.

00:47:01.000 Whether they would have actually watched the show or wouldn't have, it's hard to know.

00:47:04.000 I just feel, you know, as someone who is very apolitical as a public figure, I just...

00:47:13.000 It's really sad to see something that I thought was going to be a very positively perceived show, other than whatever. 0.92

00:47:21.000 If we're jackasses on the show, make fun of that.

00:47:24.000 But to be involved with something where people say... 0.95

00:47:27.000 I got an email from someone saying, you've betrayed the Hippocratic Oath by being a part of this show.

00:47:32.000 And I'm like, I'm competing for...

00:47:36.000 It was a very, I thought it was a very big logical leap because again- My mom watched the show and when you were project manager, she got a heart attack.

00:47:44.000 And it literally, it was even before the show aired that someone just wrote to me as someone who has made, you know, who's only tried to draw attention to the Arthritis Foundation.

00:47:56.000 And it was, so it was one of those emails you're like, okay, delete.

00:47:59.000 Yeah, I'm not going to let it affect me.

00:48:01.000 It's unfortunate.

00:48:02.000 It was sent from Trump's doctor.

00:48:04.000 It was sent from Trump.

00:48:06.000 By the way, Donald Trump is the healthiest president who has ever lived.

00:48:09.000 You betrayed your Hippocratic oath. 0.53

00:48:11.000 Your fake news.

00:48:12.000 All right.

00:48:14.000 It's surreal.

00:48:15.000 I don't know that he's actually watching the show.

00:48:18.000 I mean, I would love for him to be, but I think he's probably busier with things.

00:48:22.000 But it is surreal to think that the president-elect...

00:48:25.000 Is involved, you know, with the show.

00:48:27.000 And it is kind of a surreal position as we see, you know, which I think has been going on for years, if not decades, just the merger between politics and entertainment and opinions all coming together.

00:48:41.000 Good point.

00:48:42.000 At Matt Eisman is the best place for people to find you.

00:48:44.000 They can watch you on Celebrity Apprentice.

00:48:46.000 When does that air and where does it air, Matt?

00:48:48.000 It's Monday nights, 8 p.m.

00:48:49.000 on NBC. And Chael Sonnen, who I like to think I became friends with, he's going to be fighting the 21st.

00:48:58.000 I'm going to be out there.

00:49:00.000 He'll be on the show here in the next couple of weeks.

00:49:02.000 Oh, Jimmy Smith?

00:49:02.000 Yeah.

00:49:03.000 Jimmy Smith does the color commentary on Bellatorian.

00:49:07.000 He and I work together on Ninja Warrior, and I just think he's one of the best broadcasters around.

00:49:11.000 So I'm excited to be there around Jimmy as well.

00:49:15.000 For me, I went in and I was a fanboy.

00:49:19.000 American Ninja Warrior is pretty well known.

00:49:21.000 I was not one of the better known celebrities going into it.

00:49:25.000 Yeah, but you looked better than Cyndi Lauper. 1.00

00:49:29.000 Cindy Lauper kind of looked like a wax museum statue of Cindy Lauper. 1.00

00:49:36.000 It's...

00:49:36.000 I'll be honest.

00:49:37.000 We did viral videos where we were playing football with Ricky Williams and Boy George and Carson Cressy, and I'm looking at myself going, I'm not in football safe right now.

00:49:48.000 I need to get some squats going or something.

00:49:51.000 I have a little gut going.

00:49:52.000 Well, just call Chael's doctor, and he'll fix you up in a jiffy.

00:49:57.000 At Matt Eisman, NBC Celebrity Apprentice, Wednesdays at 8, right?

00:50:03.000 Mondays.

00:50:03.000 Mondays at 8.

00:50:04.000 I got that wrong.

00:50:05.000 Mondays at 8. 0.66

00:50:05.000 And if you don't get axed... 0.66

00:50:07.000 Now that you're daily, you don't have to worry about days of the week.

00:50:09.000 Well, assuming you don't get terminated, which I... Come on.

00:50:13.000 If you don't get axed, I won't say terminated again on this show.

00:50:16.000 We will have you back to talk about it and gossip.

00:50:20.000 And I want to know what kind of undergarments Arnold Schwarzenegger wears today.

00:50:27.000 And I'm betting that you can find us.

00:50:28.000 I was trying to find out the whole time.

00:50:30.000 I knew it!

00:50:31.000 He was the maid! 1.00

00:50:32.000 I was kissing his ass. 1.00

00:50:34.000 I'm shameless. 1.00

00:50:35.000 All right.

00:50:36.000 At Matt Eisman, thank you very much, sir.

00:50:37.000 I think next we're going to be reading tweets and, I don't know, Naki Jarrett's going to tell me.

00:50:42.000 We'll see you soon.

00:50:43.000 Well, congrats.

00:50:44.000 Congrats on Always Daily. 0.99

00:50:45.000 Shut up, Matt. 0.95

00:50:45.000 Matt, we're going to a break. 0.95

00:50:46.000 Butter.

00:50:49.000 Mellow.

00:50:50.000 Delicious.

00:50:55.000 Hello, Laura.

00:50:58.000 Bummer.

00:50:58.000 Hey, Jared, what are you doing?

00:51:04.000 Shooting bad guys. 0.73

00:51:05.000 With what? 0.60

00:51:06.000 By AR-15.

00:51:07.000 Where'd you get it?

00:51:08.000 AR-15.com.

00:51:09.000 Enunciate it more clearly so our audience can hear.

00:51:12.000 AR-15.com.

00:51:14.000 That's better.

00:51:15.000 They sell guns now?

00:51:16.000 Yeah, they do.

00:51:17.000 Are they any good?

00:51:18.000 They're the best.

00:51:20.000 Where from?

00:51:20.000 AR-15.com.

00:51:21.000 Kapoor!

00:51:22.000 You really make that sound?

00:51:24.000 Didn't have the budget for sound effects.

00:51:26.000 Kaboow! 0.92

00:51:27.000 Kaboow! 0.92

00:51:27.000 Oh, there's another one! 0.92

00:51:29.000 Kaboow! 0.92

00:51:30.000 You got him!

00:51:31.000 With what?

00:51:31.000 By AR-15!

00:51:32.000 From where?

00:51:33.000 AR-15.com.

00:51:34.000 Hey, how do you know they're bad guys?

00:51:36.000 They're Reds and Burkas. 1.00

00:51:37.000 Kaboow! 0.97

00:51:38.000 That's racist!

00:51:39.000 That pretty often now...

00:51:54.000 Thank you very much for watching.

00:51:56.000 This is the last show of the week.

00:51:57.000 Starting in February, NotK, Jared, and Courtney have their own show.

00:52:00.000 Listen, we've been having a daily show all week.

00:52:02.000 This is the first week, and we can't tell you enough how appreciative we are.

00:52:06.000 Louderwithcrowder.com slash mugclub is where you go to join.

00:52:10.000 Louderwithcrowder.com slash mugclub.

00:52:11.000 It's $99.

00:52:13.000 $69 for the year if you are a student, military, or veteran.

00:52:17.000 And that ends up being less than $6 a month.

00:52:20.000 And we have a seven-day free trial going on right now.

00:52:22.000 So we're building everything out.

00:52:25.000 We have so many more employees.

00:52:27.000 We're able to hire more people.

00:52:28.000 We're able to have more impact.

00:52:29.000 And it allows us to not be beholden to Facebook or YouTube, to not have to do the clickbait, to not have to cater to their every whim in order to get their advertising dollars.

00:52:38.000 Do we have the images, Jared, of who we...

00:52:40.000 We don't have those images, but we have these images.

00:52:43.000 What images?

00:52:44.000 Oh, there you go.

00:52:44.000 Well, of course, if you subscribe to the Mug Club, you get all of CRTV, Mark Levin, Michelle Malkin, Mark Stein, myself, and several other names here coming up.

00:52:51.000 We're at about a threshold where if you guys join, you're going to have pretty much a full day of content there rounding out that clock.

00:52:57.000 Thank you so much.

00:52:59.000 Dormio is another sponsor.

00:53:00.000 Dormio.

00:53:01.000 Dormio.

00:53:01.000 Best mattress around.

00:53:03.000 It is so awesome.

00:53:04.000 It's a sponsorship we wanted before.

00:53:06.000 We don't have the website up right now, but sleepwithcrowder.com.

00:53:10.000 If you're listening to this the next morning after the live show, sleepwithcrowder.com, you get an awesome deal.

00:53:14.000 A bed that I think is usually $2,000 for $13.99.

00:53:17.000 Free shipping, two-year door, free pillow, money-back guarantee.

00:53:21.000 I've had it for a while.

00:53:22.000 I got Jared, not gay Jared, one for Christmas, despite him not deserving it. 1.00

00:53:26.000 And here's the thing.

00:53:27.000 With any of the sponsorships with this show...

00:53:29.000 Whether it's Mug Club or whether it's Dormeo Mattress, we had Prepare with Crowder.com.

00:53:34.000 We never want to sell you anything that you don't want.

00:53:37.000 We never want to be in the business of pushing something that you don't want.

00:53:39.000 But any product or sponsor that you see on this show has gone through extreme vetting.

00:53:44.000 And what we want to do is provide you with a value.

00:53:46.000 So think of us as your Groupon.

00:53:48.000 Think of us as a place where if you need a mattress, go get this mattress.

00:53:52.000 Now, could you get cheaper mattresses?

00:53:54.000 No.

00:53:55.000 That would be perfectly adequate?

00:53:56.000 Probably.

00:53:57.000 But if you want to get the best mattress money can buy, possibly, and I mean way better than the mattresses you hear on AM radio, it's a glorified inflatable bed with a thing that goes like this, so it's dual zone.

00:54:12.000 If you want to get, you know exactly what I'm not, but I can't say that.

00:54:15.000 They were using Brand X. Brand X. Brand X. Name that movie, guys.

00:54:20.000 If you want the best mattress possible, instead of spending $2,500 getting fitted for one at a mall, I think it's $1,399 at sleepwithcreditor.com, and it is awesome if you're in the market for a mattress.

00:54:30.000 If not, don't spend any more than you can afford.

00:54:34.000 Ladderwithcreditor.com slash mugclub.

00:54:35.000 So appreciative.

00:54:36.000 We are growing leaps and bounds, and it's all because of you.

00:54:39.000 Thank you.

00:54:39.000 We'll be back.

00:54:40.000 All right.

00:55:04.000 Glad to have that.

00:55:05.000 But I think that that music doesn't sound super loud to me.

00:55:08.000 It's just your ears.

00:55:09.000 It's just my ears.

00:55:10.000 Okay.

00:55:10.000 This is a segment of the show where we put out a poll earlier today, and we're going to read some of your tweets, so thank you very much.

00:55:17.000 We do the Facebook live stream just to interact with you guys a little bit, because we have the guests on, but they're not you.

00:55:23.000 They can't replace you.

00:55:25.000 You're a special.

00:55:25.000 Jordan, do we have the results of the poll?

00:55:27.000 I do.

00:55:27.000 I have it right up here on my screen.

00:55:29.000 Let's bring some juice up, I think, on Jordan's mic, unless it's just me.

00:55:31.000 Can you hear me?

00:55:32.000 I can hear you fine, but does he need more juice, Jared?

00:55:35.000 Do I need to get right on it like that?

00:55:38.000 No, just don't.

00:55:39.000 All right, go ahead.

00:55:40.000 So we had a poll that went out.

00:55:41.000 Who is the worst offender of fake news?

00:55:44.000 CNN? CNN or BuzzFeed?

00:55:47.000 Option three was CNN and BuzzFeed. 1.00

00:55:49.000 Option four was Russian hookers urinating. 1.00

00:55:52.000 What were the results? 0.99

00:55:54.000 47% said both CNN and BuzzFeed.

00:55:57.000 Oh! 0.60

00:55:58.000 Do we have it up on the...

00:56:00.000 Jordan just resend me a screen there.

00:56:02.000 All right, let's get you sending a screen here. 0.86

00:56:06.000 There we go.

00:56:07.000 There we go.

00:56:08.000 Okay, let's see it. 1.00

00:56:09.000 Wow, 13% said Russian hookers peeing. 1.00

00:56:12.000 Now, say what you want about Russian hookers peeing, but I don't think they've ever actually been charged with journalistic malpractice. 1.00

00:56:21.000 I don't think so. 0.97

00:56:22.000 I don't know.

00:56:22.000 They do that well.

00:56:24.000 They do it well.

00:56:24.000 I will say this.

00:56:25.000 I find them disgusting. 0.88

00:56:26.000 There's some integrity in few industries. 1.00

00:56:29.000 The Russian pissing hookers are one of them. 1.00

00:56:33.000 Believe me, I'm not without my qualms with Russian hookers urinating. 1.00

00:56:38.000 Oh, no. 0.99

00:56:39.000 They're not without their faults.

00:56:40.000 Plan to talk about there.

00:56:41.000 But dishonesty is not amongst them.

00:56:43.000 No.

00:56:43.000 I think we're all in agreement.

00:56:45.000 Do we have any other best tweets, Jordan, that you have up there?

00:56:48.000 No, he told us.

00:56:50.000 All right, hold on.

00:56:52.000 We have to take a couple of your questions here.

00:56:54.000 Hold on.

00:56:55.000 Richard, you kiss your grandmother that mouth.

00:56:56.000 Oh, that was tweeting someone who tweeted us named Richard.

00:56:58.000 Someone sent us the Joker gif because they understand the Brand X joke.

00:57:01.000 They understand the Brand X joke.

00:57:03.000 Brittany Rose says, Steven Crowder promotes mattresses.

00:57:05.000 Ben Shapiro promotes sheets.

00:57:06.000 I feel like they're sending a message.

00:57:08.000 Hey, whoa now.

00:57:09.000 That's not fair because it's a Sabbath and Ben can't be around to defend himself. 0.98

00:57:13.000 That's some real Illuminati crap right there. 0.94

00:57:15.000 I've got one here. 0.98

00:57:17.000 Okay.

00:57:17.000 It's from Dick Morris.

00:57:19.000 Oh no.

00:57:20.000 No!

00:57:21.000 You don't show his tweets!

00:57:23.000 Not Gay Jared, he didn't fill Jordan in. 1.00

00:57:26.000 I didn't even read it.

00:57:27.000 Does it have something to do with feet?

00:57:31.000 Sure.

00:57:32.000 Since you're finally reading my tweets, can you answer the question of why you hate me so much?

00:57:37.000 Well, no.

00:57:37.000 It has to do with the feet.

00:57:39.000 Dick Morris.

00:57:42.000 Way in here.

00:57:43.000 CNN's Fiction says, Crunchberries are lucky charms.

00:57:48.000 Milk and cereal is for babies.

00:57:50.000 Real men drink beer. 1.00

00:57:52.000 That's a lucky charm, for sure.

00:57:55.000 No doubt.

00:57:57.000 Hold on.

00:57:57.000 Someone's really mad that we said women found black men more attractive.

00:58:01.000 They're saying black men had the second lowest rating by women. 0.82

00:58:03.000 Asian males were the lowest. 1.00

00:58:05.000 How can we watch LWC next week if it's not live on YouTube?

00:58:08.000 Write in NYC tweets.

00:58:10.000 I feel like you're trolling at this point.

00:58:14.000 Lotterwithcredit.com slash Mug Club Daily, CRTV, 9pm every single day.

00:58:18.000 You get an early stream on Thursday so that they can have it archived at CRTV. They might even be beginning the archive of this right now as we finish it up.

00:58:28.000 So, Jordan, do you have any more?

00:58:29.000 We'll read one or two more, and then we will come in with a close.

00:58:32.000 Somebody had some speculation on Arnold's underwear, which kind of goes without saying, I think.

00:58:37.000 Arnold goes commando.

00:58:39.000 Oh, Daniel Eldridge, you're incorrigible.

00:58:45.000 That's so Daniel.

00:58:47.000 That's such a Daniel joke.

00:58:49.000 That's classy Daniel.

00:58:51.000 I'm surprised Edward, the sound guy, didn't laugh more at that.

00:58:56.000 He loves the dad jokes, and then he's like, no.

00:59:00.000 Boo.

00:59:01.000 I do not approve.

00:59:02.000 Even the sound guy has standards.

00:59:03.000 Okay, hold on one second.

00:59:04.000 I have one more tweet to read, and then we're going to wrap this up.

00:59:08.000 I'm from Vermont.

00:59:09.000 Send help.

00:59:09.000 Well, we know some other people who need some help in Vermont right now as well.

00:59:16.000 That's not funny to you.

00:59:18.000 Only to us.

00:59:20.000 See, there we go.

00:59:21.000 Nothing like inside jokes on the radio.

00:59:23.000 Yeah, nothing like inside...

00:59:24.000 I'm sorry.

00:59:25.000 Austin Rica asks, can I put my mug in the dishwasher?

00:59:29.000 Technically, you can't.

00:59:30.000 This is the first mug ever that was put out.

00:59:33.000 And as you can see, it has a chip on it because this is the first one we ever had.

00:59:37.000 And I've run this through the dishwasher a lot.

00:59:39.000 So you can see the red is still on there.

00:59:41.000 There have been a couple of people, depending on what kind of a solvent you use...

00:59:45.000 Depending on how hot your dishwasher gets.

00:59:46.000 Again, keep in mind, these are hand-etched.

00:59:48.000 Hand-painted, hand-etched.

00:59:50.000 And speckly.

00:59:51.000 And speckly.

00:59:52.000 Glorious.

00:59:53.000 Quality item.

00:59:54.000 LottoWithCreditor.com slash Muck Club.

00:59:56.000 They're hand-etched, hand-painted, so the hand-painting can run off depending on what you use in the dishwasher.

01:00:00.000 Girthy as hell.

01:00:00.000 I know.

01:00:09.000 Oh, the cup cup.

01:01:22.000 Don't bother me.

01:01:24.000 I'm sleeping.

01:01:25.000 Mom's looking for you.

01:01:26.000 Time to go home.

01:01:27.000 Go.

01:01:34.000 Okay, I'm tired.

01:01:36.000 I'm just saying they're a sponsor.

01:01:38.000 I know.

01:01:38.000 Just go.

01:01:39.000 I'm tired.

01:01:39.000 That's not how this works.

01:01:40.000 Go.

01:01:40.000 I'll see what I can do.

01:01:43.000 Hello Mattress my old friend.

01:01:53.000 I've come to lay with you again.

01:01:57.000 Because of vision I was dreaming.

01:02:02.000 Of you and I together sleeping.

01:02:44.000 Wonderful bumps from Pogo.

01:02:45.000 That's original.

01:02:46.000 That's Pogo singing there, for people who don't know.

01:02:48.000 That is Pogo singing.

01:02:49.000 This is the last segment at NotGayJarrett on the Twitter.

01:02:53.000 Jordan, do you want your Twitter handle out there?

01:02:55.000 They don't need my Twitter handle.

01:02:57.000 I don't post anything interesting.

01:03:00.000 No? 0.99

01:03:01.000 Mostly just retweet crap you tweet. 0.99

01:03:04.000 If I serve no other purpose... 0.99

01:03:07.000 We have some big guests coming up next week.

01:03:10.000 Your seven-day free trial.

01:03:11.000 You're watching this for free.

01:03:12.000 LottoWithCrader.com slash Mug Club.

01:03:14.000 If you want the daily show, you get to try it for free seven days.

01:03:16.000 Like we said, listen, if only a couple percentage points of you people who've enjoyed the content for free want to help us fight back, we really appreciate it.

01:03:24.000 We have about a dozen people who we've hired now and we're growing.

01:03:27.000 We want to bring on some new people and fight back against the leftist media establishment.

01:03:33.000 Hey, hey, you fake news.

01:03:36.000 No, not, no, fake news.

01:03:37.000 You have fake news.

01:03:38.000 I want to have that just ready as a clip.

01:03:40.000 I do, I do too.

01:03:41.000 Every time someone says, you have fake news.

01:03:43.000 Fake news.

01:03:43.000 On next.

01:03:44.000 I think we have Mike Rowe.

01:03:45.000 I think we have, I think we might have George St.

01:03:47.000 Pierre coming up soon.

01:03:48.000 George St.

01:03:48.000 Pierre.

01:03:49.000 Mike Huckabee, Rick Santorum on the political side.

01:03:52.000 Artie Lang.

01:03:54.000 Nick DiPaolo.

01:03:55.000 Of course you have your regulars.

01:03:56.000 So we have a lot of people coming up now.

01:03:57.000 Not all of them are here on YouTube.

01:03:59.000 Again, some of them are behind the CRTV paywall.

01:04:01.000 This program that you're watching live will be available soon.

01:04:04.000 For all time on CRTV and on the app.

01:04:08.000 So, end of the week, last segment.

01:04:10.000 Here's one thing.

01:04:10.000 If there's a takeaway, you know, and I do these once a week.

01:04:13.000 I don't do them every single day because it takes some time for these things to percolate.

01:04:17.000 You see with the fake news, and you see Seth Meyers has reversed course on that now.

01:04:22.000 You see with Reza Aslan dismissing all of his opponents as bigots.

01:04:27.000 We've seen it with social justice leftists for a long time who dismiss everybody who disagree with them as racist.

01:04:32.000 We see everyone telling you how outrageous it is for Steve Harvey to make a joke that was based on somewhat accurate statistics.

01:04:40.000 It doesn't really matter because it's a joke.

01:04:42.000 You do not need to let anybody out there tell you what should offend you, what causes you need to support, what opinions you need to hold, and you certainly don't need people who are beholden to you believing that they are real news telling you what fake news is.

01:05:00.000 You don't need to do that anymore.

01:05:02.000 And that's why we're doing what we're doing.

01:05:04.000 We've really built this.

01:05:05.000 I'm incredibly grateful to everyone on the team who's worked so hard this week.

01:05:08.000 I know there have been some technical glitches, but we're able now to bypass these filters.

01:05:13.000 And I don't want you to take what I tell you and accept it.

01:05:16.000 We get tweets all the time from people disagreeing with us, telling us that we're wrong.

01:05:20.000 And we appreciate it.

01:05:21.000 We issue retractions or corrections we just did this week.

01:05:24.000 On an article.

01:05:25.000 I don't have a problem with it.

01:05:27.000 Because I don't need you to believe that I'm right all the time.

01:05:30.000 We just want you to be able to go out and at least parse through, just cut through some of the BS. And I hope we've helped you with that.

01:05:40.000 Because everybody else is telling you, whether it's MSNBC, CNN, or even Fox News, of course the Young Turks, Reza Aslan, whether it's HuffPo with Steve Harvey's joke, they're trying to tell you this is what you need to think, this is how you need to feel.

01:05:52.000 You don't!

01:05:53.000 Now, here's the beauty.

01:05:54.000 We've talked about this on this show, okay?

01:05:57.000 When we do this show, the best shows, and listen, there's a discrepancy, as there always is.

01:06:02.000 Sometimes you have good days at work, sometimes you have off days.

01:06:04.000 The best shows that we do here, everyone in this room, I know, we've agreed, is where we have done a ton of prep.

01:06:11.000 And we know the statistics and we have the information at hand and we have it in our show rundown.

01:06:15.000 That's actually when we're the loosest and we have the most fun in the room.

01:06:18.000 Because we know what we're saying is airtight.

01:06:20.000 When we have a guest drop out or we have to scramble at the end of the day where we don't feel quite as prepared, that's actually when it's most tense here.

01:06:27.000 You would think it's the opposite, where if you prep too much you're kind of staccato.

01:06:31.000 Let me tell you, and this is important for everyone, if you're going into college, if you're going into an industry where people tend to lean left, if you have to join a union...

01:06:38.000 Card check where they want you to lean left.

01:06:41.000 I don't want to ever tell you how to think, certainly not what to feel.

01:06:45.000 Your B.S. meter should do any time someone says that.

01:06:49.000 We never want to do that.

01:06:50.000 But you will find that you are most fluid in your critical thinking and your ability to articulate your points and your ability to convert other people to your way of thinking when you are so prepared and you have information from every source available.

01:07:03.000 I encourage you to go to HuffPo.

01:07:04.000 I encourage you to go to Salon.

01:07:05.000 I encourage you to watch MSNBC. I even encourage you to listen to Reza Aslan or Seth Meyers who now want to tell you that they're not about fake news because they ran nothing but fake news.

01:07:13.000 I encourage it, because when you hear what they have to say, and then you hear the other side, as you do when you watch this program, well, actually, you hear both sides in this program.

01:07:20.000 We bring a lot of leftists, so we'll have our booker come in. 0.97

01:07:22.000 It's been really hard to get them to come on this show.

01:07:26.000 They see what happens, and a lot of them don't want to come back.

01:07:28.000 But when you prepare yourself and you take advantage of all the information that you have available, you will find you are more fluid and you're looser in the shoulders on your punches in everyday life because you're confident in that you know what's going on.

01:07:42.000 And so people who tell you, you need to think this, all of my opponents are bigots, you should be offended by this joke, that's a stiffness, right?

01:07:49.000 Their arguments aren't fluid.

01:07:50.000 It's gotten tired.

01:07:52.000 The left said everything is racist.

01:07:53.000 Everything's transphobic.

01:07:54.000 Everything's homophobic, right? 0.96

01:07:55.000 That's why people voted for Donald Trump.

01:07:57.000 They're not getting away with it anymore.

01:07:58.000 Their arguments are so stiff.

01:08:00.000 They only have...

01:08:01.000 It's like a fighter with one tool.

01:08:02.000 They've only got that right hand.

01:08:03.000 Why?

01:08:04.000 Because they haven't done their prep.

01:08:06.000 The left doesn't have the information, as you see with BuzzFeed, as you see with CNN. And when you don't have the information, when you're not informed, when you're not educated, you tend to rely on one argument and you get really stressed and stiff.

01:08:17.000 So what I want to see is the opposite from anyone who watches or listens to this program.

01:08:22.000 I want you to saturate yourself with news.

01:08:25.000 Not only news, philosophy.

01:08:27.000 Theology, if you believe in God, whatever your religion is.

01:08:30.000 I want you to saturate yourself with it so you know so much and you feel so confident in your ability to be informed that you don't have to rely on an argument like someone's racist and you certainly never have to tell somebody else exactly what they need to think or how they feel.

01:08:46.000 Because that's not what we do and that's not what anyone should do who believes in their position.

01:08:53.000 That's not what anyone should do who believes in their argument.

01:08:56.000 Whenever someone sticks with one, whenever someone is stiff, whenever someone's not quite comfortable, and you see that with Reza Azalan, you see that with Seth Meyers, and they're going to stick, they're not prepared.

01:09:07.000 So that's hopefully what we've helped with, hopefully what The Daily Show helps with.

01:09:11.000 Just be prepared.

01:09:12.000 And that's not hard to do.
