Louder with Crowder - #163 TRUMPCARE WINS! BILL NYE LOSES! Bas Rutten and Andrew Klavan | Louder With Crowder

00:00:00.000 uh...

00:00:11.000 Bahamas!

00:00:12.000 I've been expecting you, Jihadi Bond.

00:00:34.000 I've been expecting you, Jihadi Bond.

00:00:36.000 I was wondering why it took you so long to find me.

00:00:40.000 Let's just say I was caught up with a dinner date.

00:00:43.000 Well, I hope she knows how to handle that left hook of yours. 1.00

00:00:45.000 She did.

00:00:47.000 Unfortunately for her, it was the right uppercut that did her in. 1.00

00:00:51.000 You always had a way with the ladies, double six six. 1.00

00:00:54.000 Well, that's simply because I always understood something you could not.

00:00:58.000 And what's that?

00:00:59.000 What you call charm. 1.00

00:01:01.000 I call raping them repeatedly and beating them without mercy. 0.99

00:01:05.000 I'll have to put that in my notebook of pickup tips, Mr. 0.99

00:01:08.000 Bond.

00:01:09.000 Enough small talk.

00:01:10.000 Who are you working for?

00:01:11.000 Who is behind this mug club?

00:01:13.000 You cannot stop it.

00:01:15.000 Besides, it's not who, it's what.

00:01:18.000 Those wheels are already in motion, a force which cannot be stopped.

00:01:21.000 We'll see what YouTube has to say about this.

00:01:24.000 Mug Club is a force beyond YouTube.

00:01:26.000 It cannot be contained.

00:01:27.000 It cannot be stopped.

00:01:28.000 You really think that YouTube, with all its power, with all its featured content, with all its young turks, they cannot take care of your merry band of friends?

00:01:38.000 What happens when your precious mug club is banned, or worse, demonetized?

00:01:43.000 Mug Club operates outside of YouTube.

00:01:46.000 Outside YouTube?

00:01:48.000 But that's internet suicide.

00:01:50.000 You're right, Mr.

00:01:51.000 Bond.

00:01:51.000 YouTube merely provides, shall we say, the platform to grow Mug Club as YouTube continues its jihad on free speech, effectively using its own power against itself.

00:02:00.000 As users continue to join Mug Club, YouTube is no longer needed to reach one's user base.

00:02:06.000 It is suicide, jihadi Bond, with YouTube's finger on the trigger.

00:02:12.000 I've heard enough.

00:02:14.000 Who is behind this supposedly unstoppable mug club?

00:02:17.000 You still don't get it.

00:02:18.000 It is not who.

00:02:20.000 It's up!

00:03:33.000 I just realized I totally reversed that.

00:03:35.000 You're supposed to do the inflate it, which is my dad used to do that when I was a kid, and to embarrass me because I was weak and skinny.

00:03:42.000 Speaking of which, Not Gay Jared, producing with me in video studio as always. 1.00

00:03:47.000 I went to the gym this week!

00:03:49.000 That's good.

00:03:49.000 First time in a year and a half.

00:03:50.000 Follow him at Not Gay Jared, me at S. Crowder, with your comments, questions, photoshops, insults.

00:03:56.000 I fulfill my legal obligations.

00:03:58.000 Draw your own conclusions.

00:03:58.000 We good?

00:03:59.000 We're good.

00:04:00.000 Snacky Jared, you went to the gym.

00:04:02.000 I did, but I also bought a recliner this week.

00:04:04.000 So, I'm conflicted.

00:04:07.000 That's the worst.

00:04:08.000 Like, if you're planning on going to the gym and you buy a new toy, or you get a new gun, or you get a recliner...

00:04:16.000 It's like, nah.

00:04:16.000 Some would say that you conflict.

00:04:18.000 Just don't plan anything fun the same day as the gym.

00:04:20.000 Speaking of which, at G Morgan Jr.

00:04:22.000 here, fun guy.

00:04:23.000 Speaking of not fun?

00:04:24.000 No, I said just don't plan anything.

00:04:26.000 I was saying you're fun because you're a wine guy.

00:04:28.000 I need to go to the gym.

00:04:31.000 Yeah, you both need to go to the gym.

00:04:32.000 You put us together, you have one full-grown human being.

00:04:35.000 That's true.

00:04:37.000 There has to be truth in comedy, you six-foot-five giant.

00:04:40.000 That's true.

00:04:41.000 I am just demure.

00:04:42.000 No, he's not.

00:04:42.000 You can barely fit him in this studio.

00:04:44.000 It's silly.

00:04:45.000 Great guests today. 0.78

00:04:47.000 We have Voss Rutten, mixed martial arts legend.

00:04:49.000 I'm pretty closet conservative, but after this, he'll be lucky to work again in the entertainment industry.

00:04:55.000 And then, of course, we have Andrew Klavan, great friend of the show.

00:04:57.000 How big careers have you killed now?

00:04:58.000 You should have the death chart of.

00:05:00.000 Or launched.

00:05:01.000 Depends.

00:05:01.000 Well, we'll let him come out.

00:05:02.000 I have a few things I want to ask him about, which sort of implies it.

00:05:05.000 We have some stories that we'll be talking about.

00:05:07.000 The replace and repeal, the bill, the health care bill, went through with single-digit votes today, but that's a big deal.

00:05:14.000 And there's a lot of outrage from the left over the Upton Amendment.

00:05:16.000 So I know it's kind of boring.

00:05:18.000 It's convoluted.

00:05:18.000 We'll get into that, though, and hopefully explain it in a way that you can understand.

00:05:21.000 Also, Bill Nye, fake news, chromosomes, and the gender bender. 1.00

00:05:25.000 We'll talk about that.

00:05:26.000 What's true?

00:05:27.000 What's not true?

00:05:28.000 I'm trying to think.

00:05:29.000 Oh, Tranny Bain is coming up.

00:05:30.000 Trenny Bane.

00:05:31.000 Trenny Bane is debuting today.

00:05:33.000 Lucky to have him.

00:05:34.000 If you're not a Mug Club... 0.99

00:05:35.000 Oh, Z. Crap. 0.99

00:05:37.000 How do you know? 0.95

00:05:38.000 You don't want to do it with Trenny Bane.

00:05:39.000 We've talked about this.

00:05:42.000 So before we get to those stories, though, there are a couple of stories that just, you know, piqued our interest.

00:05:46.000 There's been...

00:05:47.000 There's been outrage in San Francisco over a policeman shooting a man.

00:05:52.000 So there's the question of police brutality.

00:05:54.000 We'll show you the local affiliate clip.

00:05:56.000 Outrage over a cop shooting a man who stabbed someone.

00:06:01.000 By the way, he was in the middle of stabbing that person.

00:06:05.000 Sources say the two men inside that subways had been arguing over a sandwich.

00:06:11.000 The man who was stabbed was taken to a hospital.

00:06:13.000 The other did not survive.

00:06:15.000 Well, he was in progress.

00:06:18.000 Stabbing was in progress, yes.

00:06:19.000 Was there a way to avoid this?

00:06:22.000 Everything right now is under investigation.

00:06:25.000 It's very preliminary.

00:06:26.000 Nearby residents like Sherry Pittman were outraged by the shooting.

00:06:30.000 So we have a fight, we're going to get shot, and I fight all the time.

00:06:37.000 Apparently she didn't ask for her lawyer. 0.79

00:06:39.000 Anyway, avoid this.

00:06:40.000 How about not stopping?

00:06:42.000 I thought it's like, you have the right to remain.

00:06:43.000 I ain't gonna be silent.

00:06:44.000 I did the crime!

00:06:46.000 I stole it!

00:06:48.000 I already told you I done stole it!

00:06:51.000 All the time! 0.55

00:06:53.000 Listen, it's not because she's black, it's because she's hilarious. 1.00

00:06:55.000 Notice the black officer, didn't laugh at that, but she's funny! 0.98

00:06:59.000 She is funny! 0.80

00:07:00.000 She's like a walking cartoon character! 1.00

00:07:02.000 And I just, they're outraged over a cop Stopping someone in the middle of a stabbing.

00:07:09.000 This is where you cannot find middle ground.

00:07:11.000 I don't understand.

00:07:11.000 It's like, if you're against deporting illegal aliens who are committing felonies, we're not going to find common ground on the Anchor Baby issue.

00:07:20.000 So this, of course, this event, the police brutality, apparently, quote-unquote, has led to protests in San Francisco, protests, riot signs, where they ultimately coined the new slogan, hands up, let me stab you repeatedly.

00:07:32.000 is and the first arrival paramedics were actually reported as saying that it was really a gruesome scene There was blood everywhere.

00:07:44.000 It took a long time to get it out of their clothes, but they finally did it.

00:07:48.000 Still no luck in removing the smell of Subway.

00:07:52.000 Save a few.

00:07:53.000 Have you ever worn leather in one of those places?

00:07:55.000 No.

00:07:56.000 I know you have.

00:07:57.000 I have Subway smells from 2012.

00:07:59.000 Oh, man.

00:08:00.000 In San Francisco, the Folsom Street Fair must be terrible.

00:08:02.000 Oh, my gosh.

00:08:03.000 Yes.

00:08:03.000 And then that Folsom Street where a bunch of people walking in in leather chaps.

00:08:07.000 I think I want a Subway sandwich.

00:08:09.000 Well, what do you want?

00:08:10.000 You want the Southwest steak?

00:08:11.000 I don't know what it is.

00:08:12.000 They say it's the Southwest steak.

00:08:13.000 I order it.

00:08:14.000 They say, what do you want on it?

00:08:15.000 Then what is the Southwest steak?

00:08:17.000 Why name it if I decide what's on it?

00:08:21.000 More leather.

00:08:22.000 I haven't had a date in years.

00:08:24.000 I don't understand that with Subway.

00:08:26.000 Someone can explain it to me.

00:08:26.000 It's like, what do you want?

00:08:27.000 The Southwest steak.

00:08:28.000 Okay, what do you want on it?

00:08:29.000 All right, you know, give me the normal steak one.

00:08:30.000 What do you want on it?

00:08:31.000 What makes it Southwest?

00:08:33.000 The peppers?

00:08:34.000 Why don't you put the peppers on it?

00:08:34.000 Well, do you want the peppers on it?

00:08:36.000 Why is the title?

00:08:39.000 I can't get anything right.

00:08:40.000 A lot of flack, too. 0.99

00:08:41.000 Stephen Colbert made a joke, we'll talk about this with Klavan later on, where he referred to Trump's mouth, sorry, cock holster for Vladimir Putin. 0.98

00:08:49.000 By the way, I think it's kind of a funny word. 0.95

00:08:51.000 So some people were really outraged.

00:08:53.000 I don't tend to get outraged, but I didn't, you know, they were talking about a boycott with Colbert.

00:08:58.000 I didn't see any genuine conservatives who I knew calling for a boycott.

00:09:02.000 It seems like a little bit of a strawman alert because I see people saying, oh, if you have a problem with Colbert's lewd comments on this but had no problem with Trump's lewd comments about, you know, you're highly inconsistent.

00:09:13.000 I'm like, I don't think that's the argument.

00:09:15.000 I think everyone jumping on hashtag, if they're conservative, they're like, I already kind of hated Colbert.

00:09:19.000 This is a fun thing to do today.

00:09:20.000 Right.

00:09:21.000 But people who are really upset about it are upset for the homophobic.

00:09:23.000 Yeah, that's right.

00:09:24.000 We saw that at HuffPoke.

00:09:25.000 HuffPo just wanted many to write about it.

00:09:28.000 HuffPo queer voices. 0.99

00:09:29.000 I love that that's a section.

00:09:30.000 We need to stop making jokes about Trump and Putin.

00:09:34.000 Okay, sweetheart.

00:09:35.000 Let me explain to you the definition of need, because you seem to be a little murky. 0.97

00:09:40.000 We don't need to stop making gay jokes. 1.00

00:09:42.000 You need to learn the definition of need. 0.87

00:09:45.000 Yes. 0.99

00:09:46.000 Need means, I really, really want you to stop making gay jokes! 1.00

00:09:49.000 But I love the cannibalism from the left. 0.98

00:09:51.000 It is fun to watch.

00:09:52.000 I think Colbert thought, they won't come for me because my fans are the ones who go after other people.

00:09:57.000 Yeah, what are you going to say?

00:09:59.000 What are you going to say?

00:10:01.000 Why are gay jokes off limits?

00:10:04.000 It's got to be straight jokes? 0.90

00:10:06.000 It's not funny if it's not a gay joke. 1.00

00:10:09.000 That's the funny part. 0.89

00:10:11.000 That's the funny part.

00:10:12.000 And I don't think it was a funny joke.

00:10:13.000 I don't think Stephen Colbert is hilarious.

00:10:15.000 I certainly think he's funnier than Samantha Bee and Trevor Noah.

00:10:17.000 I've said that.

00:10:18.000 I thought he was funnier in character.

00:10:20.000 But I don't want to see a guy boycotted.

00:10:22.000 Especially, listen, his ratings are doing well, so he deserves what he gets.

00:10:25.000 A little one note with the Trump stuff.

00:10:27.000 I think he's locked into it.

00:10:29.000 But I think To his credit, he's not backing down from the comment.

00:10:32.000 He's saying, hey, sorry, I'm a little overboard with crassness.

00:10:35.000 You know, maybe not FTC appropriate.

00:10:37.000 But to his credit, he's not backing down.

00:10:39.000 Which, for comedy's sake, it's refreshing to see.

00:10:43.000 Yeah.

00:10:43.000 Watch for him tomorrow, though, to call for the boycotting or banning of someone who says something offensive.

00:10:47.000 Or they say, like, I'm never calling for the banning, but they just encourage this sort of crap storm of offense.

00:10:53.000 So, okay.

00:10:54.000 In other news, Bill, this is something that's been making the rounds.

00:10:57.000 Important.

00:10:58.000 Bill Nye did this whole gender bender thing. 0.99

00:11:01.000 You can shut off the deal, Jared.

00:11:02.000 The gender bender thing. 1.00

00:11:03.000 Gender exists on a spectrum.

00:11:04.000 You saw this.

00:11:05.000 We talked about this earlier in the week.

00:11:07.000 Wrote about it at LiveWithCarter.com.

00:11:08.000 Now, there was a meme in Making the Rounds, an alt-right sort of meme that went around this one, where it talked about an episode of Bill Nye in the 90s, and it said, gender is determined by your chromosomes.

00:11:20.000 So a couple of things here.

00:11:22.000 I interpreted this as a meme.

00:11:24.000 There are no quotations.

00:11:25.000 Not a direct quote.

00:11:26.000 In other words, when I first saw this, I saw it as, oh, that must have been the sentiment expressed.

00:11:31.000 Yeah, we did a lot with memes just to capture the sentiment of something somebody believes.

00:11:35.000 Someone kind of understands memes.

00:11:36.000 Okay, so that's the case.

00:11:37.000 Now, we didn't run it on the site because...

00:11:40.000 All of the leftist news sites, and we tend to read leftist news sites more to check our sources because we want to know what the left is saying.

00:11:47.000 They said that it was completely fake.

00:11:49.000 So places like Gizmodo and the fact-checking website said this is entirely fake.

00:11:53.000 Bill Nye never made this quote.

00:11:54.000 He never said anything about gender and chromosomes.

00:11:56.000 As a matter of fact, to prove their point, and they fooled us.

00:11:59.000 We thought, well, maybe this is just another hoax, kind of like the Donald Trump quote meme that goes around.

00:11:59.000 They fooled us.

00:12:03.000 They fooled us by even including a clip of the Bill Nye episode.

00:12:08.000 Our genes are stored in parts of our cells called chromosomes.

00:12:12.000 They look like this.

00:12:17.000 Chromosomes contain all of the genetic information, all of the instructions you need to make a person.

00:12:23.000 So, when you watch that, you think, well, that seems dishonest with the name, because he didn't say anything about gender being binary.

00:12:29.000 Turns out...

00:12:31.000 When these people said fake news, the implication that Bill Nye had a show that said...

00:12:36.000 Well, Bill Nye didn't say it directly, so I will allow that, clarify that.

00:12:39.000 But that same episode, that show included one of his female cohorts on the show talking about two genders.

00:12:47.000 You have a one-in-two chance, your gender being determined by chromosomes.

00:12:51.000 And here's the thing.

00:12:52.000 It was in the same show after that clip, and it was edited out retroactively.

00:12:57.000 It was censored by, I think, Netflix and or Disney.

00:13:00.000 Here's the clip they omitted.

00:13:01.000 I'm a girl.

00:13:02.000 Could have just as easily been a boy though, because the probability of becoming a girl is always one in two.

00:13:08.000 See, inside each of our cells are these things called chromosomes, and they control whether we become a boy or a girl.

00:13:14.000 One in two, not one in 73.

00:13:17.000 Not one in pansexual gender fluidity.

00:13:21.000 Now, usually, if Gizmodo and if these sites PolitiFact, if they had written, listen, this meme is going around, it's a false quote, Bill Nye did not say this.

00:13:28.000 However, in the episode that was retroactively edited to omit this clip, they did say that gender was determined by chromosomes and highly implied that gender was binary.

00:13:41.000 If they'd have written that, it would have been honest.

00:13:43.000 Now, we've written, for example, about global warming, about scientists from NASA who said we're going into a global cooling period.

00:13:48.000 And in the articles and on this show, we say, now, by the way, these same scientists say, but totally don't worry, you guys, because global warming is going to occur after those 50 years.

00:13:56.000 We provide that context and the link.

00:13:59.000 These real news sites calling out fake news sites, turns out we're in cahoots, we're in on the gag of this show being retroactively edited.

00:14:09.000 Do you have any idea how insanely dangerous that is?

00:14:12.000 And something even scarier, you want to talk about Orwellian, people...

00:14:18.000 Google has recently issued their guidelines.

00:14:22.000 They said their algorithms are going to favor real news over fake news and they've actually named some of the sites that ran this story claiming that people on the right were fake news.

00:14:31.000 So if you look at their descriptions, sites like ours, which I encourage you to bookmark, glottowithcrowder.com, would be considered fake news.

00:14:37.000 Gizmodo, PolitiFact, Snopes would be considered real news.

00:14:39.000 By the way, also university publications, like Berkeley today, who are hosting actual communists teaching courses, well, sorry, giving seminars on how to eradicate Trump voters from campus.

00:14:51.000 They banned Milo, they banned Ann Coulter, but they're hosting communists. 0.75

00:14:56.000 And Gizmodo does this, and Google's going to favor them as real news.

00:15:02.000 Something else that I think is even crazy, okay?

00:15:04.000 They went back...

00:15:05.000 Even crazier, sorry.

00:15:06.000 My words.

00:15:07.000 I don't know.

00:15:08.000 Stroke, maybe.

00:15:08.000 Words have meaning.

00:15:09.000 It was a Stephen Hawking dance I did.

00:15:11.000 It's coming back to bite me from earlier this week.

00:15:14.000 Something I think is even crazier.

00:15:15.000 They went back and they edited a science show.

00:15:17.000 Now, it wasn't an addendum to correct the science.

00:15:21.000 They didn't edit it out because the science wasn't accurate.

00:15:24.000 They edited out the science from a science show because it was offensive.

00:15:28.000 Is that not terrifying?

00:15:30.000 And this is, again, the far left, the Bill Nye's of the world, the Gizmodo's of the world, the factcheck.org's of the world.

00:15:35.000 These places who consider themselves the arbiters of truth are removing science because it is offensive.

00:15:43.000 There's no excuse for that.

00:15:44.000 At least when Al Gore did it with an inconvenient truth, he was going back to correct some inaccuracies.

00:15:49.000 He made a lot of predictions.

00:15:50.000 There is a faster buildup of heat here at the North Pole in the Arctic Ocean and the Arctic generally than anywhere else on the planet.

00:16:01.000 That's not good for creatures like polar bears, who depend on the ice.

00:16:06.000 Or, in fact, they could just as easily float, because that's what polar bears do in water.

00:16:12.000 Also, there could be three times the population of polar bears ten years from this film.

00:16:18.000 We don't know.

00:16:22.000 I appreciate that Al Gore has been honest about that.

00:16:24.000 He cleaned it up.

00:16:25.000 That's good.

00:16:25.000 Let alone fact, he recorded that voiceover from a Swedish masseuse.

00:16:29.000 Oh, that's good enough.

00:16:30.000 Doing something with the arches of their feet.

00:16:32.000 So, uh, healthcare bill.

00:16:34.000 Let's get into the health...

00:16:36.000 What's happening?

00:16:39.000 What?

00:16:40.000 Dean.

00:16:42.000 Hey.

00:16:43.000 Dude, where were you?

00:16:45.000 Where was I when?

00:16:47.000 He will not divide us.

00:16:48.000 New York was fun as hell, so I went over to...

00:16:50.000 I was supposed to meet you at the UK, Juan.

00:16:54.000 Dean, that was just an idea.

00:16:56.000 We were just floating that around.

00:16:58.000 We didn't confirm that.

00:16:59.000 I went there.

00:17:00.000 I waited.

00:17:01.000 For like a week.

00:17:04.000 I'll call you back.

00:17:08.000 He's a nice guy, but we've got to...

00:17:10.000 I'm sorry.

00:17:11.000 Just got to clarify that, Jared.

00:17:12.000 It's my bad.

00:17:13.000 Personal calls on your time.

00:17:14.000 So the healthcare bill, have you been following this?

00:17:16.000 Yeah.

00:17:16.000 Both of you?

00:17:17.000 Oh, yeah.

00:17:17.000 So you saw that the vote passed?

00:17:18.000 Yeah.

00:17:19.000 How many votes was it?

00:17:21.000 I know it was single digits.

00:17:22.000 It was 217, like 211 or something like that.

00:17:24.000 I'll have to double check.

00:17:25.000 So it was pretty close.

00:17:25.000 So this is the repeal and replace ID of the bill.

00:17:30.000 There are a few controversies here, so I want to explain it without getting you too bored.

00:17:36.000 And it's hard to get people who are not bored when talking about multi-thousand page bills.

00:17:40.000 This bill includes something called the Upton mandate.

00:17:43.000 Now, it allows for a few things, okay?

00:17:45.000 It allows for a few things to occur, but the most controversial aspect of which is it allows a waiver for states.

00:17:52.000 Now, what does this waiver allow for?

00:17:54.000 It allows states Two, allow insurance companies to charge more for people with pre-existing conditions.

00:18:01.000 So I want to be clear.

00:18:02.000 Some people are going out and saying this means that states will be exempt from the pre-existing condition stipulation.

00:18:08.000 They're not.

00:18:08.000 I wish they were.

00:18:09.000 I really wish they were.

00:18:10.000 I don't think there should be any federal mandate to cover pre-existing conditions.

00:18:14.000 That's not what it is.

00:18:15.000 What this waiver allows, and what has to occur, is the state has to prove that premiums or costs have gone up a significant amount so the state can apply for a waiver which allows the state to allow insurance There's a new mic.

00:18:27.000 I just hit it. 0.98

00:18:28.000 Damn it. 0.99

00:18:29.000 I was all excited about it, too. 1.00

00:18:31.000 Allows the states to allow insurance companies to charge more.

00:18:35.000 That's what it is.

00:18:36.000 That's what has Nancy Pelosi, Mrs.

00:18:39.000 Voldemort, with her panties.

00:18:42.000 Whatever it is, in a bunch.

00:18:43.000 Depends on a bunch.

00:18:45.000 Trumpcare eviscerates essential health benefits such as maternity care, Prescription drugs, emergency recovery, prenatal care, and guts protection for Americans with pre-existing medical conditions.

00:19:01.000 As bad as Trumpcare was the first time around, you know, it was dead.

00:19:08.000 It died.

00:19:08.000 It died right here on the floor.

00:19:11.000 Now it's come back to life, like a zombie.

00:19:15.000 And she would know. 0.50

00:19:16.000 Spitting. 0.99

00:19:17.000 She looks like something Rick Grimes would blow away with a Colt Python. 0.99

00:19:22.000 I just...

00:19:24.000 She says that, and I'm sitting there going like...

00:19:27.000 Yes, it's like we've talked about with Gavin McGinnis.

00:19:29.000 We're saying the exact same thing.

00:19:30.000 By the way, the waiver, we'll get into the economics, why I think that's at least a step in the right direction.

00:19:36.000 I would have liked to see a complete elimination of all of these mandates.

00:19:39.000 But this is nothing new.

00:19:41.000 And before we get to the economics, the political selective outrage is what I find to be hilarious here.

00:19:47.000 When Obamacare, the Affordable Care Act, was first passed, waivers were allowed too.

00:19:52.000 Now, who do you think the main recipient of these waivers being exempt from the mandates were?

00:19:56.000 It was almost entirely blue, entirely liberal states and counties.

00:20:01.000 As a matter of fact, one of the biggest champions of Obamacare, Anthony Weiner himself, got a waiver for his district.

00:20:08.000 Pass the bill to know what's in it.

00:20:09.000 We need this for America.

00:20:11.000 Okay, you first.

00:20:13.000 Dick pic?

00:20:16.000 Now, here's the economics of this, okay?

00:20:21.000 And this is something, too, where, again, like Jimmy Kimmel, they attribute motive.

00:20:26.000 The left only cares, I'm sorry, let's just be honest here.

00:20:29.000 They only care about the screw-ups, about the leeches, about the non-contributing zeros to society. 1.00

00:20:35.000 Okay, they say, well, there's so many people who are uninsured.

00:20:38.000 What about, I get it, every now and then someone has a pre-existing condition that is not their fault.

00:20:41.000 I understand it.

00:20:42.000 By the way, there have always been high-risk health insurance pools for that.

00:20:45.000 But they don't care about the people who foot the bill.

00:20:48.000 It's not that we don't care about sick people.

00:20:50.000 It's that we care about the other Americans who have seen over a 20% year-over-year rise, projected to be at least 25% in 2017 as far as premiums.

00:21:03.000 It's that we care about those people.

00:21:05.000 It's that we care about the families who are now seeing an average deductible of $12,000, $6,000 for an individual which was unearthed before this.

00:21:12.000 It's not that we don't care about sick people.

00:21:14.000 It's that we care about everybody else who has to bear this burden.

00:21:17.000 The economics of Obamacare have been horrible.

00:21:19.000 That's why it's wildly unpopular.

00:21:22.000 Okay, that's why Donald Trump won.

00:21:24.000 Wall repealing Obamacare.

00:21:26.000 Obamacare is unbelievably unpopular.

00:21:28.000 And I don't know, remember when they were going to pass it, they always used car insurance as an example.

00:21:33.000 As though car insurance was a great analogy for a federal mandate for you to purchase health insurance.

00:21:40.000 A couple of things.

00:21:41.000 Car insurance goes state to state.

00:21:44.000 And the car insurance that you're purchasing is designed to protect somebody else.

00:21:48.000 It's to keep somebody else safe.

00:21:50.000 Not you.

00:21:52.000 Liability.

00:21:53.000 It's built into the word.

00:21:55.000 Yeah, it's kind of the bare minimum doesn't cover anybody. 0.99

00:21:58.000 You're screwed. 0.98

00:22:00.000 It covers other people. 1.00

00:22:01.000 Bare minimum is you barely help somebody else that you screw.

00:22:06.000 Right.

00:22:07.000 I've never thought it was a valid analogy, the car insurance analogy, but let's use it here since they've liked to use this for so long, the car insurance analogy.

00:22:15.000 Well, you have to buy car insurance.

00:22:16.000 Here's the thing.

00:22:17.000 You're buying car insurance for someone else, whereas health insurance, you are uniquely buying for you.

00:22:22.000 You are purchasing health insurance for yourself.

00:22:24.000 There's a risk assessment pool.

00:22:25.000 They say this is about your risk.

00:22:27.000 This is about what we can spend on these costs.

00:22:29.000 It's a business that they run.

00:22:30.000 You are spending this money entirely on your own health.

00:22:33.000 Yet, You are actually burdening the costs for everybody else's screw-ups.

00:22:40.000 You are paying for what everybody else does.

00:22:42.000 It's the opposite of car insurance.

00:22:44.000 Nobody would accept this if it were the process for car insurance.

00:22:47.000 We have to ask, any accidents in the last ten years?

00:22:50.000 Yes, six.

00:22:52.000 Six?

00:22:52.000 What kind?

00:22:53.000 Two fender benders, one spin-out, two roadside ditch rolls, one of which I don't remember because I was hammered and I hit a pregnant woman. 0.99

00:23:01.000 And you're approved.

00:23:03.000 Good news, sir, you've been approved.

00:23:04.000 That'll be $1,896 monthly.

00:23:07.000 Wait, what?

00:23:07.000 No, I'm a perfect driver.

00:23:09.000 I have a perfect record.

00:23:10.000 Nope, right here it says you have two DUIs and rammed and expected mother. 0.99

00:23:14.000 No, I didn't do any of those things.

00:23:15.000 Well, it doesn't matter because somebody did. 1.00

00:23:17.000 Son of a bitch! 1.00

00:23:19.000 So just don't accept all analogies. 1.00

00:23:21.000 They don't always work.

00:23:22.000 Eric Bossrudin coming up next, and then Andrew Klavan.

00:23:24.000 Ooh.

00:23:25.000 Chin-con, chin-con, oh, powerful, and a bit of a console.

00:23:32.000 Home Body Break with Steven Crowder and NotGage Aaron.

00:23:38.000 Bye.

00:23:39.000 Thank you.

00:23:40.000 Summer's a great time to barbecue with friends, family, or even make a few new friends.

00:23:47.000 That's right.

00:23:48.000 But there are a few things you'll need first.

00:23:50.000 An outdoor charcoal grill, your grill brush and utensils, plenty of charcoal, matches, and a healthy dose of lighter fluid.

00:24:01.000 To build the perfect grill fire, first, build a pyramid with your charcoal.

00:24:07.000 Then douse with a generous amount of flammable lighter fluid.

00:24:11.000 When you're ready, use your matches.

00:24:14.000 Interesting fact about lighter fluid, it's the vapors itself, not the liquid that's highly flammable.

00:24:20.000 That's why it's always paramount that you take the proper...

00:24:23.000 Oh, wait!

00:24:24.000 You were supposed to stand back!

00:24:26.000 Ow! 1.00

00:24:27.000 I was definitely supposed to... 0.90

00:24:28.000 Burn! 0.88

00:24:43.000 Break, snap, and deliver.

00:24:46.000 Dance and dance and dance and dance and dance.

00:24:53.000 All right.

00:24:54.000 Hopefully our next guest takes that as a compliment.

00:24:57.000 Longtime fan.

00:24:58.000 Can't believe we got him on the program today.

00:25:00.000 He's also right now, he's out there.

00:25:03.000 He admitted this when he was a kid, he was just telling me.

00:25:04.000 The O2 trainer.

00:25:05.000 It's a lung capacity trainer.

00:25:07.000 Check that out.

00:25:07.000 But of course, people out there know him.

00:25:08.000 Bring up his Twitter, not KJ. Here we go.

00:25:10.000 Boss.

00:25:11.000 Oh, hold on a second.

00:25:11.000 Let me give him more of an answer.

00:25:13.000 Former UFC champion.

00:25:14.000 Former King of Pancrace champion.

00:25:16.000 Current MMA commentator.

00:25:18.000 An all-around extraordinary American.

00:25:19.000 You know him from Here Comes the Boom.

00:25:20.000 A lot of people who aren't sports.

00:25:21.000 Boss Rutten.

00:25:22.000 Thank you, sir.

00:25:23.000 Thank you.

00:25:24.000 Thank you.

00:25:25.000 Yo.

00:25:25.000 Hey.

00:25:26.000 Hey.

00:25:26.000 Hey, what's up?

00:25:27.000 Yeah, I know.

00:25:28.000 It's weird when you think of like the hundreds of thousands of people who are going to be And if you just put them in a room, it would make you really nervous.

00:25:35.000 Like, wow, that's a huge...

00:25:36.000 It would be three, four stadiums.

00:25:38.000 But you don't really think of it when it's out on the internet.

00:25:40.000 But they're all watching right now going, who's this Bas Rutten guy?

00:25:43.000 Yeah, he's a weird looking dude with his bald hair.

00:25:45.000 Wait a minute, is that Rutger on Kevin Can't Wait?

00:25:48.000 Yeah, that could be the crazy place's neighbor.

00:25:54.000 Yeah, well, you, now, did you, forgive me, did you go bald at a young age?

00:25:59.000 Because you shaved your head really young, so I just figured it was a style statement.

00:26:02.000 Yeah, no, it was a style.

00:26:03.000 Believe it or not, I used to be a model.

00:26:05.000 I have modeling pictures, you're going to laugh so hard.

00:26:07.000 But it wasn't the time when they went from the feminine guy, so to say, crossed over to the real guys.

00:26:14.000 And at that time I came in, the model agency was owned by three women who loved me, and they put me out on a lot of work.

00:26:20.000 So I have a lot of pictures, hilarious pictures.

00:26:22.000 It's all blue steel and those kind of pictures.

00:26:26.000 But I was always doing my hair.

00:26:28.000 But not with gel and all that stuff, and a blow dryer never did that.

00:26:32.000 But one day, I could have fixed my hair, and I grabbed some gel, and I put gel in it, and already I thought that was a completely loose thing to do, but I'm doing it, and I go...

00:26:42.000 So I'm grabbing a blow dryer, and I don't click the thing on, and I'm looking at myself in the mirror with a purple blow dryer, and I go...

00:26:53.000 This is so wrong.

00:26:54.000 So I put it down, walked out, and my girlfriend at the time goes, what are you going to do?

00:26:58.000 I said, I'm going to shave my head.

00:26:59.000 She goes, yeah, right.

00:27:00.000 I just went straight out, went to the barber, I said, shave it off.

00:27:03.000 Really?

00:27:04.000 And he shaved me, complete bolt, and it was the freedom I received right after the sink.

00:27:09.000 Go in the shower, you just do this, that's washing your hair.

00:27:12.000 You jump in the pool, you come out, that's drying your hair.

00:27:16.000 I mean, it goes really fast.

00:27:18.000 You'll love it.

00:27:18.000 That's what I can imagine.

00:27:19.000 And you also don't have to worry about the point, like, am I going bald?

00:27:23.000 Am I losing my hair?

00:27:23.000 Because it doesn't matter at that point.

00:27:24.000 No one cares.

00:27:25.000 But you have the head that can pull it off.

00:27:26.000 You know, some people who do it, they just look like an escaped mental patient who just climbed down a rope of bedsheets and, you know, ran out after suffocating their roommate with a pillow.

00:27:32.000 I was pulled from the womb with forceps, so I have this cone head.

00:27:36.000 That just would never work.

00:27:38.000 Oh, gosh.

00:27:40.000 Okay, so boss, listen, everyone knows you from fighting and commentary, but if they follow your Twitter, they know that you're a pretty sharp guy.

00:27:46.000 I don't know if you remember this.

00:27:47.000 So you're from Holland, right?

00:27:49.000 So I remember I assumed everyone who I knew, raised in Montreal, like from Holland, were just super hippies who just wanted to smoke pot all the time.

00:27:55.000 There was a picture of you, I think when you became an American citizen, you probably don't remember this, at the Lincoln Memorial, giving the finger, and it said, like, this is for the terrorists.

00:28:07.000 This was after 9-11.

00:28:08.000 I don't know if you remember that.

00:28:09.000 And we're sitting there like, okay, Boss Rutten might be coming from a different angle here.

00:28:14.000 This was on MySpace, of all places.

00:28:16.000 Do you remember that?

00:28:17.000 Oh, you know what?

00:28:17.000 I remember because it was a big chair that I saw somewhere, I believe in Santa Barbara, and behind that big chair was a wall, and it was a paint, an American flag, the entire wall.

00:28:26.000 And the chair was huge, and I go, I gotta make a picture here.

00:28:29.000 So I put on a crazy suit, like a 70s suit, and jump in the chair, and I'm sitting there flipping off, and it says freedom of speech, and then it goes, F terrorists.

00:28:38.000 Okay, so I was thinking of Lincoln Memorial, but you were the Lincoln.

00:28:40.000 You were the one in the chair.

00:28:41.000 That's what it was.

00:28:43.000 And I remember reading about it in, I think it was back then, Ultimate Grappling Magazine, and some people thought it was controversial.

00:28:49.000 So you became an American citizen.

00:28:51.000 Listen, as you know, in Europe, Freedom of speech, we see that now.

00:28:55.000 It's not necessarily inherently European value.

00:28:58.000 I come from Canada where it doesn't exist.

00:29:00.000 You can be jailed for hate speech.

00:29:03.000 Talking about that flag with freedom of speech, you've talked so much about how you love the United States.

00:29:08.000 You've become a citizen.

00:29:09.000 You're kind of an anomaly.

00:29:11.000 Why is it?

00:29:11.000 You're different from a lot of people who come over from Europe, or a lot of them go back.

00:29:16.000 You know, I don't know.

00:29:17.000 I think once the people...

00:29:18.000 This is the problem.

00:29:19.000 Many times you talk to people from Europe, but they've never been to America.

00:29:23.000 And if they've never been to America, they just repeat what other people are saying.

00:29:26.000 They think this is a crazy country.

00:29:27.000 You know, my mom and dad, for instance, they didn't want to come the first year to visit us because they were afraid to come.

00:29:33.000 They thought people were shooting each other in the street.

00:29:35.000 It was the most insane thing.

00:29:36.000 They have a whole different picture of America.

00:29:39.000 When I tell them, hey, did you ever go to America?

00:29:41.000 No.

00:29:41.000 I say, why don't you go first and check it out?

00:29:43.000 Like my mom and dad...

00:29:44.000 They came for only seven days the first time.

00:29:47.000 The next time they came two and a half months.

00:29:49.000 They rented an RV in Seattle.

00:29:51.000 They went throughout all America, saw everything from America.

00:29:54.000 It's their favorite country now.

00:29:56.000 They had no clue why the propaganda or whatever it is, you know, what they show about America.

00:30:02.000 On European TV, it's a different kind of America.

00:30:04.000 I think so.

00:30:06.000 Why will people be afraid?

00:30:07.000 It's a great country.

00:30:08.000 Well, I remember that too when I was raised in Canada.

00:30:09.000 Everyone thought that people in Texas, they were running around with cowboy hats and guns.

00:30:15.000 Now, a lot of people do have guns.

00:30:16.000 That is true.

00:30:17.000 But they're not shooting each other.

00:30:19.000 And I actually, when I moved to the States, I was like, It was actually pretty cool.

00:30:21.000 You have a lot of people with guns who are law-abiding citizens, whereas we were sitting ducks in Canada.

00:30:25.000 In Montreal, actually, we basically invented the school shooting.

00:30:28.000 We had, like, four in the decade of the 90s.

00:30:31.000 Literally, it was just...

00:30:31.000 And there's nothing anyone could do.

00:30:34.000 So, it totally changed.

00:30:35.000 What are you about to say now?

00:30:36.000 Actually, every Canadian I've ever known, from, like, school and everything, the first thing they do, they get here, they go to visit, you know, New York City, then they find someone to marry so they can stay here. 0.71

00:30:43.000 Almost every single person I've ever known from college, that's what they do.

00:30:46.000 Yeah.

00:30:47.000 Yeah, I can imagine.

00:30:48.000 So what was that process like?

00:30:50.000 Do you remember the moment where you said, you know what, I'm going to become a citizen in the United States?

00:30:54.000 No, it was simple because our youngest daughter was born here.

00:30:57.000 And it was in 2001.

00:30:59.000 So as soon as she was born here, I said, okay, she's American.

00:31:01.000 We're all going to become American now.

00:31:03.000 And then my family can have dual citizenship, but the head of the household apparently cannot.

00:31:08.000 And I said, no, I'm an American.

00:31:10.000 Our daughter was born here.

00:31:12.000 The four musketeers, right?

00:31:14.000 Once for all, all for one.

00:31:15.000 So that's why we're...

00:31:17.000 That's what we did.

00:31:18.000 We became citizens.

00:31:19.000 And you know what?

00:31:19.000 I believe that if you live in a country, you know, you should become a citizen.

00:31:23.000 I mean, and live by the rules of this country.

00:31:25.000 This is a very important thing, too, because in Holland, you know, sometimes people from other countries come in, they commit horrible crimes, and then in court they're going to go, yeah, but you know what?

00:31:32.000 In their country, it's an offense if you look at the law of the country.

00:31:37.000 I'm not kidding, dude.

00:31:38.000 And they go off.

00:31:39.000 They get free because in their country.

00:31:41.000 And I say, yeah, but you don't live in that country.

00:31:43.000 If I go to that country and I try to pull that stunt, it's not going to happen.

00:31:47.000 Everybody's so happy.

00:31:48.000 You know, we love you.

00:31:49.000 We understand.

00:31:50.000 Okay, you go.

00:31:51.000 Boom.

00:31:51.000 And then commit another crime.

00:31:53.000 You know, stabbing is only a misdemeanor in Saudi Arabia.

00:31:56.000 I think we like to play by that role.

00:31:57.000 Yes, exactly.

00:31:59.000 Well, okay.

00:32:00.000 So this is all interesting because now, like I said, don't get you started.

00:32:02.000 But we got you started.

00:32:04.000 Did you always think this way or did you have kind of, you know, they call it like red pill, moment of clarity, being in the United States and enjoying some freedoms?

00:32:11.000 And I say this as a Canadian.

00:32:12.000 I came here and it's almost like in the air.

00:32:15.000 You're like, wow, I'm just more free here.

00:32:18.000 In Canada, everyone was offended by something you would say.

00:32:20.000 People were constantly being jailed or being hauled off because they said the wrong thing or did the wrong thing.

00:32:25.000 Did you always think this way like you're talking now or did it happen at a specific moment or was it just a transition living here?

00:32:32.000 It was just a transition.

00:32:34.000 I have a drawing that I made when I was six years old about Nogi the bird who flew to America.

00:32:39.000 So America has always been in my mind.

00:32:40.000 I had American cars.

00:32:41.000 I had a Buick, a Dodge, a pickup truck with the big tires.

00:32:44.000 You know, you're young.

00:32:45.000 You do all these crazy things.

00:32:46.000 I was always really...

00:32:48.000 I always really wanted to go to America.

00:32:51.000 I love the American movies.

00:32:52.000 That's where all the things that I use when people came, when people ask me, say, how do you speak English?

00:32:57.000 Well, first of all, everybody speaks English in Holland because you have to.

00:33:01.000 It's a little, tiny country.

00:33:02.000 Otherwise, nobody can understand you.

00:33:03.000 But we see the American movies with the Dutch subtitles, so it's much easier for us to understand.

00:33:08.000 And then once you start learning all the lines, when you watch movies like Scarface and, you know, You think the F-bomb gets dropped everywhere all the time here on the street as well, so when I came here...

00:33:21.000 I see where this is going.

00:33:23.000 And my first thing was, I thought there was freedom of speech here.

00:33:26.000 You see what I threw back?

00:33:28.000 I said, apparently there's no freedom of speech, if I cannot say that.

00:33:31.000 Yeah.

00:33:32.000 Right?

00:33:32.000 So that's what I thought first.

00:33:34.000 And with the guns, you know, I already did depth in that.

00:33:36.000 I dove in that.

00:33:37.000 And the reason, this is one of the reasons that the Japanese all the way back didn't attack the mainland was because they knew they were going to have a way, every citizen is on it.

00:33:46.000 It's going to be a soldier.

00:33:48.000 Everybody owns guns.

00:33:50.000 So now you're not only fighting the military, you're fighting 80% of the people who have guns at home.

00:33:54.000 So that's a big army that you suddenly have.

00:33:57.000 So that's why they didn't attack the mainland and they started over there. 0.52

00:34:00.000 Well, same thing with Switzerland even.

00:34:02.000 When you look at Nazi Germany, like, ah, gosh, mountainous terrain and everyone there has a gun.

00:34:07.000 So they're like, let's skip over it.

00:34:09.000 Let's do Poland first. 0.99

00:34:10.000 Let me ask you this.

00:34:11.000 Because a lot of people will talk about this.

00:34:13.000 You're a UFC champion.

00:34:30.000 Okay? 1.00

00:34:30.000 So there are a lot of people out there who BS and like, well, if you need a gun, you're a coward. 1.00

00:34:33.000 I would just do this, and I got tiger claw, and I don't need the gun to feel secure. 0.82

00:34:37.000 You're a UFC champion, world-renowned martial artist.

00:34:42.000 Well, I don't want to ask you personally if you carry, because, you know, let's keep that a surprise.

00:34:46.000 But what's your view on that?

00:34:47.000 Would you chalk it up to, I don't need to be personally armed because I'm a martial artist, or do you think people should be, regardless?

00:34:54.000 I think if you're a professional fighter, you should.

00:34:56.000 You should make sure that you're armed.

00:34:58.000 Because the people on the street, if they know you, they're not going to fight you without a weapon.

00:35:02.000 Right?

00:35:02.000 I mean, they're going to lose.

00:35:03.000 So if somebody's going to pull something out, I think you should be prepared for that, at least at home and everywhere.

00:35:08.000 You know, it's a dangerous thing out there.

00:35:10.000 If I will be a normal person, I can understand, you know, maybe, you know, I won't be as much, but, you know, as being a fighter, yes, they're never going to fight you without a weapon.

00:35:19.000 So if something breaks out, they recognize me, it's going to be big, probably.

00:35:24.000 Yeah, that's a good point.

00:35:24.000 And I've talked, you know, with a lot of fighters, like, listen, the last thing, A, that, what you just said, they're not going to try and fight you fairly.

00:35:31.000 And B, it's a lawsuit waiting to happen.

00:35:34.000 Because if I'm a fighter, it's national headlines.

00:35:36.000 But even that's just, you know, you read the message boards, and you see that attack from sort of the American left today, you know, like, well, the gun is just for, you're so insecure, you cling to your gun.

00:35:44.000 They did it on a train one time without a gun.

00:35:46.000 This is very simple.

00:35:47.000 Guess what?

00:35:48.000 The bad guys have guns.

00:35:49.000 I want to be ready when a bad guy comes in.

00:35:51.000 Can it happen in my life?

00:35:53.000 Yes, it can happen.

00:35:53.000 It happens all around me, friends, it happens.

00:35:55.000 People say, oh, that will never happen to me.

00:35:57.000 Ask the people that it happened to.

00:35:58.000 Because those people will say, I always said it never happens to me and it happened to me.

00:36:02.000 It will happen.

00:36:03.000 And if it happens, why not being prepared?

00:36:05.000 Why give the power to some criminals Yeah.

00:36:09.000 And you're not able to defend yourself. 1.00

00:36:11.000 So that's the dumbest comment there is, you know, because people are bad. 1.00

00:36:14.000 It is! 1.00

00:36:15.000 It is!

00:36:16.000 Once every so many people, there are really bad apples in between.

00:36:19.000 And if they come, I'd rather be prepared.

00:36:21.000 And if you say, there's this great line in True Romance with Christian Slater, one of my favorite movies.

00:36:26.000 And he says, the one thing I realized over the last week is it's better to have a gun and don't need it than to need a gun and don't have it.

00:36:33.000 Yeah.

00:36:33.000 And that's the thing I'm trying to make here.

00:36:35.000 No, that's absolutely true, and I just think it's great to come from a fighter, because that sort of debunks a lot of these folks.

00:36:41.000 Remember, J.R. was that we had, too?

00:36:43.000 Boss Ritten would find this funny, where we went, I think you went to get your gun class.

00:36:47.000 Guy knew everything about gun, firearm instruction, but then he's also like, by the way, I also teach martial arts, and he's like a 6th Don Black Belt and Heikikai Jiu-Jitsu-do made-up thing.

00:36:56.000 You're like, listen, buddy, you're certified to give me gun training, but I don't think the guy with the pot belly and the homemade belt is necessarily who I want teaching hand-to-hand combat.

00:37:04.000 It's true.

00:37:04.000 There's just a lot of BS across the board right now.

00:37:07.000 And it's easy to sell that to folks, especially when you just tell them they need to be afraid of something.

00:37:11.000 So I'm the guy to fix it.

00:37:15.000 This is the world we live in. 1.00

00:37:17.000 If you say to a guy, how big is your penis? 1.00

00:37:20.000 Oh, it's only six inch tall. 1.00

00:37:22.000 Oh, you have a micro penis. 1.00

00:37:25.000 Everybody starts buying those pills, you know? 1.00

00:37:28.000 That's the thing you have to say to them.

00:37:31.000 They're so easy to influence. 0.98

00:37:33.000 You go like, oh, maybe I should look up a chart with the average-sized penises before us. 0.98

00:37:37.000 You know, I mean, people are, you know, you just give them a little ball. 0.97

00:37:41.000 I wouldn't use the word tall in inches.

00:37:43.000 I'd say long.

00:37:44.000 Tall is he's dead and rigid.

00:37:46.000 Like a dead cat.

00:37:50.000 It's just clawed onto the couch.

00:37:53.000 We still have that in Holland.

00:37:55.000 That's a straight Dutch translation that I do.

00:37:58.000 But I tell a guy, oh, he's big.

00:38:00.000 In Holland, that means he's tall.

00:38:01.000 But here it means something different.

00:38:03.000 I'm so much out with that.

00:38:05.000 Do they speak French in Holland at all?

00:38:07.000 No.

00:38:08.000 No, that's Belgium, right?

00:38:09.000 Just Dutch, yeah, Dutch, and then at the border where I used to live, it's the Belgian, Flemish, German, you know, a lot of people from that area, the lower part of Holland speak German as well.

00:38:18.000 Also known as Freaky Deaky Dutch, I learned.

00:38:20.000 Freaky Deaky Dutch, yeah. 1.00

00:38:21.000 I didn't know this, but I know, because it sounds similar to a French-Canadian accent a little bit with Bas.

00:38:26.000 I noticed that, you know, kind of if you hear like my mom.

00:38:28.000 Yeah, I can hear that a little bit.

00:38:29.000 It's not what people, here we're used to a German accent, you know, and then when you think Dutch, people would assume it sounds more like Sven Computer, but it sounds more French-Canadian to me.

00:38:38.000 I don't know.

00:38:38.000 I think it was Michigan.

00:38:39.000 There's so many Dutch people there that...

00:38:42.000 Yeah.

00:38:43.000 I've heard it a little bit.

00:38:44.000 Is it true Dutch people are cheap?

00:38:46.000 No, that's the weirdest thing.

00:38:47.000 I never got that.

00:38:48.000 You know, they say, let's go Dutch on a date that I never in my life experienced ever.

00:38:53.000 The guy always pays.

00:38:54.000 I don't know where that comes from.

00:38:56.000 Also, when I came here and all the Dutch and people saying it was cheap, my first party that I went to from a guy says, hey, when you want to come to the party, I come to the party, buy a present.

00:39:06.000 I come to give him the present.

00:39:07.000 I go, go to the bar, get a beer.

00:39:09.000 And the guy goes, I said, it's $6.

00:39:11.000 And the guy, excuse me.

00:39:12.000 And he says, $6.

00:39:12.000 I said, no, no, I'm at the party here, the birthday party.

00:39:15.000 He says, it's $6.

00:39:18.000 And you guys talk about Dutch people.

00:39:20.000 That won't happen at all.

00:39:22.000 You know?

00:39:23.000 And they will pay for it because it's their birthday.

00:39:26.000 Nobody pays a thing.

00:39:27.000 So I go like, wow, I can make parties now.

00:39:30.000 I can actually make money.

00:39:31.000 You know, I go on the worst day and I tell the people, what is your worst day?

00:39:35.000 It's a Wednesday.

00:39:35.000 I'm going to do a party next Wednesday.

00:39:37.000 I want 20% of the stuff.

00:39:39.000 It's my birthday party.

00:39:40.000 I'm going to get presents and I'm going to get money.

00:39:42.000 It's the greatest thing ever.

00:39:43.000 It is a good thing.

00:39:44.000 Here's a question, though.

00:39:45.000 Are you a Nazi about turning the lights off when you leave the room?

00:39:50.000 With where?

00:39:51.000 In my living or in my bedroom?

00:39:53.000 Any room.

00:39:55.000 Are you a Nazi about turning them off?

00:39:57.000 Because that's one thing I know about Dutch people.

00:39:58.000 Don't use the word Nazi.

00:39:59.000 It has a different connotation for a Dutchman.

00:40:01.000 Just say, are you meticulous? 0.99

00:40:03.000 Meticulous. 0.80

00:40:04.000 What I lately started doing, like if I walk through the house and I see light on, I actually turn it off.

00:40:08.000 I lately started doing that.

00:40:10.000 But normally, I don't like a lot of light.

00:40:13.000 Yeah, turn off the lights.

00:40:14.000 I mean, why wouldn't you?

00:40:15.000 What is that, Jared?

00:40:16.000 What is that question?

00:40:17.000 Oh, in Bush, Michigan, that was one thing I noticed.

00:40:19.000 Every Dutch person there is just adamant about making sure every light is off in every room you're not using. 1.00

00:40:24.000 All the time, always.

00:40:25.000 I've never heard that.

00:40:26.000 Yeah, they're really cheap there.

00:40:27.000 That's always something.

00:40:28.000 They unplug their refrigerators at night.

00:40:30.000 So maybe that's just an American thing.

00:40:31.000 Maybe.

00:40:32.000 I never heard either.

00:40:35.000 The refrigerator thing.

00:40:36.000 - Oh, that was a joke.

00:40:37.000 - Oh.

00:40:38.000 - People though, I did see people coffee filters, washing coffee filters, but I've seen this in America as well.

00:40:45.000 But I was at the campground.

00:40:46.000 - Yeah. - My grandmother, she would like coffee filters, paper coffee filters that we watched. 1.00

00:40:52.000 - We would make horrible detectives We've gotten a root of nothing here.

00:40:56.000 Cleaning coffee filters.

00:40:58.000 Okay, so boss, we don't have a ton of time, but man, I hope to have you back.

00:41:01.000 It's interesting to hear this story and people who come here and how their views change and they become Americans.

00:41:06.000 Let me ask you this kind of finally, because how long have you been in the United States now?

00:41:09.000 How long have you been a citizen?

00:41:11.000 Actually, tomorrow, 20 years.

00:41:13.000 Wow!

00:41:14.000 Congratulations, 20 years.

00:41:15.000 It's the Liberation Day from Holland. 0.51

00:41:17.000 It's the day we got married.

00:41:18.000 It's the day our dog was born.

00:41:20.000 It's the day we met each other, my wife and I, 25 years ago.

00:41:26.000 So, yeah.

00:41:27.000 So you've been married for 20 years?

00:41:30.000 We're together 25 years.

00:41:31.000 25 years?

00:41:32.000 Man, you must be quite the catch to nail down El Wapo, because he was known to be quite the... 0.99

00:41:38.000 What was that?

00:41:39.000 To hang out with me for that time in my fighting time.

00:41:43.000 I was a little crazy guy.

00:41:44.000 Yeah.

00:41:44.000 So, you know, she's a saint.

00:41:47.000 Let me tell you that.

00:41:47.000 She'll go straight to heaven, that one.

00:41:49.000 She's amazing.

00:41:50.000 That's rare, though, for someone in a high profile.

00:41:52.000 You know, obviously, well, you're in California and in the entertainment industry.

00:41:56.000 It's rare for someone to be married that long.

00:41:58.000 And I don't know what it's like in Europe, but in French Canada, people generally don't get married.

00:42:02.000 They just sort of cohabitate.

00:42:04.000 As a matter of fact, in Canada and Quebec, I'm sure you've been there, because it's a huge MMA area.

00:42:09.000 If you see a wedding ring, almost guaranteed anglophone in Canada. 0.78

00:42:13.000 French Canadians don't get married. 0.58

00:42:15.000 And most of my European friends either don't get married who I've known or they get married later.

00:42:19.000 But it seems like that's atypical, certainly, of the entertainment industry.

00:42:22.000 And maybe Europe?

00:42:24.000 I mean, 25 years.

00:42:26.000 Is that just something you always knew?

00:42:28.000 You wanted to be with one person and just made it work?

00:42:31.000 No, she's just perfect for me. 0.92

00:42:33.000 I mean, everything is there.

00:42:35.000 You know, it's weird.

00:42:37.000 I think...

00:42:38.000 At least like 10, 11 years, there's no fighting in this house.

00:42:41.000 There's no screaming in this house.

00:42:43.000 There's no words in their house.

00:42:45.000 That simply won't happen.

00:42:47.000 It's very rare that we say, hey, no, no.

00:42:50.000 That would be as loud as it.

00:42:52.000 That's it.

00:42:53.000 People go like, man, this is so crazy.

00:42:55.000 All my friends, they ask if she has sisters.

00:42:59.000 Everybody goes, where did you find her?

00:43:02.000 Did they make her in a laboratory? 0.96

00:43:04.000 What happened?

00:43:05.000 I don't know what happened, but something happened.

00:43:07.000 God put us in contact, and suddenly...

00:43:10.000 Well, okay, here's another thing.

00:43:11.000 I'm sorry, but it's just a cultural difference.

00:43:12.000 So you say, you know, you say God.

00:43:14.000 Every person I've known from Deutschland, you know, distinctly kind of unchurched, distinctly more agnostic, atheist. 1.00

00:43:21.000 Like, it's not a super...

00:43:22.000 Here, obviously, sort of, you have way more...

00:43:24.000 It's not a secret.

00:43:25.000 You have way more of an evangelical Christian community.

00:43:28.000 So were you raised that way, or was that something you came to in the States?

00:43:31.000 I came to the States.

00:43:32.000 I was raised that way until I was 12 years old.

00:43:34.000 Then it stopped.

00:43:35.000 And then I got distracted because that's where all the atheists started coming in with knowing it better and with the books. 1.00

00:43:40.000 And then my mom and dad, they started actually believing that BS. And, you know, so slowly but surely, you know, that happens.

00:43:46.000 And you don't go to church anymore.

00:43:47.000 And then five years ago.

00:43:49.000 About five years ago, I was just sitting in on a conference about life.

00:43:53.000 Not even about God, just about life.

00:43:55.000 And the way he was explaining that, he's a very smart guy, theologian, Leo Severino.

00:44:00.000 That was just, I was like, dude, that was so much that...

00:44:04.000 It felt together for me.

00:44:06.000 I go, this is crazy.

00:44:07.000 Now, at the set, there was also the world-renowned Father Ripperger, who's an exorcist, straight with the Vatican, who does the worst cases.

00:44:15.000 And, of course, that was the Navy SEAL 6 team member for me under the priest, that guy.

00:44:20.000 So, I wanted to talk to him.

00:44:22.000 The stories you hear, you go crazy.

00:44:25.000 Now, you have to understand, I had a run-in with a ghost.

00:44:27.000 in my house and a bad spirit and that's why also for me it's easier to correlate because people are making that up no no no it's not making up if it happens 25 times you know it's really it was really heavy it's really pushed me in the bed really it was really attacking me until the final day I just at three o'clock in the middle of the night you know you want to do the opposite of what Jesus passed away at three so three o'clock at night they say is the most activity and that's where I went under the spot We're always where it appeared and I just challenged

00:44:57.000 it for an hour and it stopped after us.

00:45:00.000 We saw the curtains, we saw somebody running through the curtains, my entire family, curtains flying up to the ceiling, not like somebody to the ceiling.

00:45:08.000 I was 100% certain there was somebody in the house.

00:45:11.000 I ran to the other side, but nobody was in the house.

00:45:14.000 Everything was locked, doors were locked, windows were locked, and even if the windows were open, I mean the carpet, it flew up against the ceiling.

00:45:21.000 There was a lot of activity, and I heard about these near-death experience, people who go away and who see other things in the room next door, who know exactly in the next door what the people were saying there.

00:45:30.000 Hey, my father was smoking.

00:45:32.000 So they come back and they say, why were you smoking?

00:45:32.000 He never smoked.

00:45:34.000 How do you know?

00:45:35.000 Well, I actually was floating above you guys, and I heard the whole conversation.

00:45:38.000 So I know 100% there is something.

00:45:40.000 I refuse to believe there is not something after this life.

00:45:43.000 This is just a test.

00:45:43.000 We're on this...

00:45:44.000 You know, everything there is without time and space.

00:45:47.000 Here is the only place where we have time.

00:45:49.000 So I truly believe this is just a race. 0.92

00:45:51.000 It's just a race.

00:45:52.000 We've got a good person to let that go up.

00:45:54.000 We have some listeners coming to Red Boss Root and they're like coming from the Joe Rogan podcast or saying, I haven't smoked enough pot yet for this conversation.

00:46:00.000 They're not ready for it.

00:46:02.000 But that's fascinating.

00:46:03.000 My closest near death experience now pales in comparison.

00:46:07.000 I was getting turned over in a kayak and I thought I was going to die because I couldn't get out.

00:46:11.000 That was it.

00:46:12.000 I don't know if you've ever been a kayak, like an old kayak, but it's impossible to get out unless you know how to flip back over.

00:46:17.000 And I thought I was going to die.

00:46:19.000 That's my near-death experience.

00:46:19.000 That's about it.

00:46:21.000 It's not nearly as interesting.

00:46:24.000 You had one.

00:46:25.000 Yeah, I had one.

00:46:26.000 Oh, fascinating.

00:46:27.000 All right, but we have to bring you back, and we can talk about so much more, too.

00:46:30.000 We have Andrew Klavan.

00:46:31.000 Do we have Andrew Klavan coming up?

00:46:32.000 Andrew Klavan coming up.

00:46:33.000 Andrew Klavan coming up.

00:46:34.000 So, Boss, where's the best place for people to find you?

00:46:38.000 You know, I do.

00:46:39.000 I'm, again, an old guy, I guess, right?

00:46:42.000 Facebook is where I have a lot of activity on my Facebook account.

00:46:45.000 On my Twitter, Boss Ruthen.

00:46:46.000 Facebook is just facebook.com slash Boss Ruthen.

00:46:50.000 Twitter, that's where I answer pretty much all questions.

00:46:54.000 So people ask me questions, boss with an MMA. And then on Instagram, that's where I show pictures here and there.

00:46:59.000 But I'm not a big guy into that for some reason.

00:47:02.000 I'm getting more into it, but that's...

00:47:04.000 You need to channel your inner male model again for Instagram.

00:47:07.000 That's what you need to do.

00:47:07.000 That's all it is.

00:47:08.000 It's just big...

00:47:09.000 Yeah, there you go.

00:47:11.000 And don't you have a podcast you're doing?

00:47:14.000 I have a podcast together with Mauro Ranallo.

00:47:16.000 We're actually going to shoot it in half an hour.

00:47:19.000 We're going to do it.

00:47:20.000 The ad's going to be released tomorrow.

00:47:22.000 It's a fun podcast.

00:47:23.000 It's where we're going to talk about cannabinoids.

00:47:25.000 We have that person.

00:47:26.000 We interview that person who's completely cured.

00:47:29.000 just using CBD oil and a good diet.

00:47:34.000 Didn't do chemo, didn't take any pills, didn't do anything.

00:47:37.000 And it's completely stage four, completely cured.

00:47:39.000 So there's a lot of power there.

00:47:41.000 I'm in a group called Athletes for Care.

00:47:43.000 It's all about help athletes, professional athletes, because I'm talking with a lot of other football players who are on that board as well.

00:47:51.000 Everybody go, you know, the Vicodins, the pain pills, It's such an ugly drug.

00:47:56.000 It's so addicting.

00:47:56.000 And the CBD does the same thing, but it's not addictive.

00:48:00.000 So I want people to be informed.

00:48:04.000 I'm going to do schools here.

00:48:05.000 I do the school talks already for kids who go to college.

00:48:08.000 Every year I talk for 500 kids and I tell them what they can expect.

00:48:11.000 But now it's going to be added.

00:48:13.000 The CBD thing is going to be added.

00:48:15.000 I'm going to go, guys, you know, because once it starts there, it's a scary documentary.

00:48:19.000 It goes from actually content to heroin because it's cheaper to use heroin.

00:48:22.000 Yeah, I've seen that.

00:48:24.000 We had a comic on here too, Artie Lang, who ran through that problem.

00:48:28.000 So it's a matter of fact, he was actually advised.

00:48:30.000 He's open about it, so I'm not outing him.

00:48:31.000 He was advised to use heroin because, you know, since it was directly injected, bypasses the liver.

00:48:35.000 So he's told, like, it's actually, if you're taking all these pills, it's better to take the heroin.

00:48:39.000 But Vosrutin Elwapo, which means the handsome one.

00:48:42.000 So now you see why.

00:48:43.000 He's seen it as a webcam.

00:48:44.000 Thank you so much, sir.

00:48:45.000 We have to go, but we'll have to have you back soon to talk more about everything.

00:48:48.000 Yeah, if you want to dive into something deeper, then we have the time for that.

00:48:53.000 Oh, we dive into something deeper.

00:48:55.000 Look at him leaving insulting right before.

00:48:57.000 We have music playing.

00:48:58.000 I don't know, I hear what's happening.

00:48:58.000 There's music.

00:49:00.000 It's easy.

00:49:01.000 It just isn't done that well.

00:49:05.000 The son of the queen of the life.

00:49:08.000 You are going home.

00:49:10.000 Why are you here?

00:49:24.000 Tell me, YouTube.

00:49:29.000 Hello, people watching this for free. people watching this for free.

00:49:49.000 Now, some of you are members of the Mug Club, and some of you are cheapskates. 0.95

00:49:52.000 LottoCutter.com slash Mug Club.

00:49:53.000 We've talked about this.

00:49:54.000 That's where you get Daily Crowder.

00:49:55.000 We're going to be offering it for free on YouTube at some point here in the next month.

00:49:58.000 I don't know exactly when because I have to travel, but it's $99 annually, $69 for students.

00:50:03.000 You get access to the whole CRTV library, and we are adding some really cool names right now.

00:50:07.000 It takes a month or two for these things to be announced, but I'm excited.

00:50:11.000 And you saw Tranny Bain talking about it.

00:50:13.000 It is...

00:50:15.000 You can't say that seriously.

00:50:17.000 There's going to be an ongoing series.

00:50:19.000 Mug Club is truly, with the amount of people who've joined, an uprising.

00:50:23.000 It is a way, we've talked about voting with your dollar.

00:50:26.000 There are a few ways to sort of stamp, okay, so what I believe.

00:50:29.000 When you join the Mug Club, when you join CRTV, it is a stamp. 0.57

00:50:32.000 You're putting that money out there with no real physical expectation of something in return.

00:50:37.000 Although, great content.

00:50:38.000 Listen, you do get the show daily and you get it now.

00:50:39.000 Audio, downloadable, on the go.

00:50:41.000 Is that starting next week?

00:50:42.000 Next week, I believe.

00:50:42.000 We're supposed to start this week, but then there was a glitch with the...

00:50:45.000 The platform changed.

00:50:47.000 But it's what allows us to continue uploading so much more content to YouTube.

00:50:51.000 We never wanted to do a bait and switch and then pull it away and say, you have to pay for it.

00:50:55.000 I don't know if you've noticed, but since Mug Club, we've been providing more free content than ever.

00:50:59.000 Here's the thing.

00:51:00.000 We've been providing more free content than ever, and the free content is generating less revenue than ever because of, like we talked about, Google's algorithms and fake news.

00:51:09.000 They don't like what we're doing.

00:51:10.000 They don't like what you're doing.

00:51:11.000 And the only way we can continue to do this and create an alliance with more people and grow, right now we're doing a daily show, Not Good Jared, when you join Monk Club, you get his show with Courtney on Fridays, Morning Grinders.

00:51:21.000 But the only way we can grow truly for Unpluggers and create a whole network, and right now we have a dozen people employed just under the ladder with Crowder Umbrella, is if you join.

00:51:30.000 That money, ironically, supports all the free content.

00:51:33.000 And why is it free content important?

00:51:34.000 Free content is important.

00:51:36.000 They're kind of business models, and you see this out there with a lot of conservatives.

00:51:39.000 For example, Fox News.

00:51:40.000 Their only goal is to preach to the choir.

00:51:42.000 That's most conservative networks out there, right?

00:51:44.000 As a matter of fact, everywhere that I've ever worked where they were conservatives, they're saying, we want less on YouTube.

00:51:47.000 We want less free content.

00:51:48.000 We want to get them to pay.

00:51:49.000 The difference with CRTV, why they're so great with what we do with Mug Club, is because, listen, yeah, you want to, behind the paywall, we can talk about a lot of things.

00:51:56.000 It's more conversational because we know you guys.

00:51:59.000 We know the Mug Club members. 0.99

00:52:00.000 We're close.

00:52:00.000 We tweet.

00:52:01.000 We often direct message.

00:52:03.000 Sometimes we take live tweets.

00:52:04.000 But it's so important to still reach new people.

00:52:08.000 I mean, today it may sound silly, but you're going to see hundreds of thousands of people, millions upon millions of people each month hearing new things, whether it's about the health care mandate.

00:52:17.000 If it's as simple as someone saying, I had no idea that the Affordable Care Act increased premiums.

00:52:21.000 It could be something as simple as someone saying, I had no idea that chromosomes had anything to do with gender.

00:52:25.000 People are learning new things all the time.

00:52:27.000 So the free content is important.

00:52:29.000 That's the mission, is to inform and hopefully educate people.

00:52:32.000 But the only way to do that is through the premium content.

00:52:36.000 The premium content, the paid content, is what allows the free content to bring more people into our camp and change the political cultural landscape of the country.

00:52:43.000 So ladderwithcreditor.com slash mug club.

00:52:46.000 We appreciate it.

00:52:47.000 it.

00:52:47.000 Don't be cheap.

00:52:51.000 And I don't want nobody.

00:52:56.000 I want nobody.

00:52:59.000 And I don't want nobody.

00:53:02.000 You got that right.

00:53:04.000 And I don't want nobody.

00:53:08.000 All right.

00:53:09.000 Glad to have our next guest.

00:53:10.000 Always love him on the program, but the problem is we always talk before the program.

00:53:14.000 That's true.

00:53:14.000 And then we're sitting there like, this is the show.

00:53:16.000 What are you doing?

00:53:16.000 We'll talk during the commercial break, and it'll make some point.

00:53:19.000 So you know him, you follow him at Andrew Klavan on the Twitter.

00:53:22.000 He has a fantastic book out, The Great Good Thing.

00:53:25.000 You can read it on Amazon.

00:53:26.000 Read it on it.

00:53:27.000 You can order it on Amazon.

00:53:28.000 Nobody reads the book on Amazon.

00:53:29.000 I just totally misspoke.

00:53:31.000 It's like Stephen Colbert trying to understand social media.

00:53:33.000 You can read it on the books of the faces.

00:53:36.000 Aren't I cool kid?

00:53:37.000 Hipparoos.

00:53:38.000 And he just recently spoke at, well, Andrew Klavan's show, obviously at Daily Wire, good friends at Daily Wire, just recently spoke at Oberlin College there, right, Andrew Klavan?

00:53:45.000 I did, I did.

00:53:47.000 I was a smash hit with people trying to smash me and hit me.

00:53:50.000 With you!

00:53:52.000 I would imagine as a conservative you're somewhat used to being heckled.

00:53:55.000 You know, I'm really not.

00:53:57.000 I have to be honest with you.

00:53:58.000 All that happened was I got heckled.

00:54:00.000 And at the same time, Ann Coulter was being attacked and threatened.

00:54:04.000 So I felt it was pretty mild.

00:54:06.000 But I will say that normally I'm invited to speak in front of conservatives.

00:54:11.000 And it didn't really even occur to me until the last minute that I was walking onto the most liberal, one of the most liberal colleges in the country, and that people might be upset to have me there.

00:54:21.000 But I still have this kind of innocence of thinking like, oh, but I'm such a nice fellow.

00:54:25.000 Why would anybody...

00:54:26.000 And when they started heckling me...

00:54:27.000 I'm half Jewish.

00:54:28.000 The faculty will love me. 0.56

00:54:31.000 There's a scene in the novel War and Peace where this young Russian soldier sees the French charging over the hill and he says, they want to kill me.

00:54:40.000 Me, whom everyone loves.

00:54:42.000 That was the way I felt.

00:54:44.000 I thought, how are you heckling me?

00:54:46.000 This is the point where I smile and I'm not like I've read War and Peace and it doesn't just occupy space on my bookshelf as a gun case.

00:54:53.000 Don't worry.

00:54:54.000 Nobody thinks you've read War and Peace.

00:54:56.000 Exactly.

00:54:58.000 That's not happening.

00:54:58.000 No, it's not.

00:54:59.000 You know, it's funny that you bring that up.

00:55:01.000 I want to go back to Oberlin, but I have not read War and Peace.

00:55:03.000 I won't lie.

00:55:03.000 I have not read War and Peace.

00:55:04.000 I have not read a page of it.

00:55:05.000 And when I went to college, we didn't read Mark Twain.

00:55:07.000 We didn't read any of the American classics.

00:55:08.000 None of it. 0.97

00:55:09.000 We read, like, Tears of a Tiger and all the social justice crap, especially in Canada. 0.69

00:55:13.000 Even back then, I was reading it.

00:55:13.000 I'm like, are you sure this is really what I should be reading in English literature?

00:55:17.000 But there are a lot of things.

00:55:18.000 Like, I was sitting there thinking about the Korean War.

00:55:22.000 You know, I know a ton of...

00:55:23.000 I know very little about the Korean War. 1.00

00:55:25.000 I know old, like, bastards who get mad. 1.00

00:55:27.000 Like, I was in Korea! 1.00

00:55:28.000 But I've studied Vietnam, but I don't know the ins and outs of the Korean War.

00:55:32.000 And it's dangerous to say that on this program, because someone will then try and quiz me next on the Korean War.

00:55:36.000 But there are a lot of things where you say, you know what, I really should learn more.

00:55:38.000 I felt that way about the First World War.

00:55:40.000 I'm like, everyone talks...

00:55:41.000 The Second World War gets so much attention.

00:55:42.000 I don't know what's first.

00:55:43.000 It's not complicated. 1.00

00:55:44.000 The Germans are assholes. 1.00

00:55:45.000 Oh, yeah. 1.00

00:55:45.000 They're like, oh, the Germans, of course. 1.00

00:55:47.000 Now I get it.

00:55:47.000 The First World War, see, the thing is, you know, I lived overseas for a long time.

00:55:51.000 The First World War wiped out a generation of men.

00:55:53.000 So over there, you know, in Europe, it's huge in the same way like every little village in America has a Civil War monument on the East Coast.

00:56:02.000 Every, every tiny village lost like, you know, a thousand guys in World War I. When I was there, I read, seriously, this is absolutely true, I read at least 20 books about World War I. And when it was over, when I was finished, I still didn't know why it had started.

00:56:02.000 Yeah.

00:56:19.000 The Germans being Germans, they're always a problem. 1.00

00:56:23.000 It was kind of like Europe was saying, you know, things are going so well, let's kill everyone, you know? 1.00

00:56:28.000 Let's commit suicide. 0.99

00:56:29.000 It was the end of European civilization. 0.93

00:56:31.000 Apparently Kim Jong-un's been reading the same books and getting ideas.

00:56:33.000 Oh, chapter 42!

00:56:35.000 All right! 0.99

00:56:36.000 You can kill everyone for no reason. 1.00

00:56:39.000 Hey, hey, how many people can I kill with a cherry bomb? 0.99

00:56:43.000 So, alright, let's come back to Oberlin. 0.98

00:56:45.000 Oh, yeah.

00:56:46.000 Okay, so you get heckled.

00:56:48.000 Here's the thing, here's the thing.

00:56:49.000 Most of the people, I would say in a room, I don't know, let's guess 50 people.

00:56:53.000 I'm not very good at that, but let's say 50 people.

00:56:55.000 In that room, I would say 40-50% of them were left-wing kids.

00:57:01.000 And they were polite.

00:57:03.000 They were charming.

00:57:04.000 They got up afterwards and asked me questions.

00:57:06.000 And it was great.

00:57:07.000 We had a really interesting exchange.

00:57:09.000 I was really interested in talking to them. 0.91

00:57:11.000 Three or four of these people were rude, nasty little people. 0.98

00:57:16.000 And two of them, I swear, needed psychiatric care. 0.92

00:57:19.000 Yeah.

00:57:19.000 I mean, one of them was like, obviously he had some kind of gender dysphoria.

00:57:23.000 I was going to say, was he a tranny? 1.00

00:57:24.000 Yeah, I was going to go first question. 0.96

00:57:25.000 It was bizarre.

00:57:26.000 And comes in and puts his feet up on the chair and throws his sleeveless arm open and all this stuff.

00:57:34.000 So I'm looking up his armpit. 0.95

00:57:35.000 And I just thought, you know, you think people hate you because you're gay. 1.00

00:57:38.000 They hate you because you're a lout. 0.99

00:57:40.000 Yeah. 0.99

00:57:42.000 As soon as I look that up on Wikipedia, I'm going to be pissed.

00:57:46.000 Yeah, I, uh, you know... 0.99

00:57:47.000 Synonym asshole. 0.99

00:57:48.000 Okay, I get it. 1.00

00:57:49.000 Oh, I get it.

00:57:50.000 Maybe it's me.

00:57:52.000 But it's like we talked about that transgender on campus who... 0.99

00:57:55.000 Did you see that where the guy...

00:57:56.000 Did you see that one where the transgender at Berkeley just freaked out and the guy where he... 0.99

00:58:01.000 This person, we still don't know if it's male.

00:58:03.000 350 orange hair.

00:58:04.000 Yeah, 350 pounds, orange hair, crumpling up a Trump flag.

00:58:07.000 And the guy goes, oh, what a big man you are. 0.99

00:58:09.000 And he goes, shut your mouth. 1.00

00:58:11.000 I'm an effing woman. 0.99

00:58:12.000 And it's clear the guy wasn't trying to troll the tranny, because the guy's response is just...

00:58:19.000 He doesn't know what to say.

00:58:21.000 He's thinking, I'm going to get a call from the dean.

00:58:25.000 And that's what we talk about.

00:58:26.000 It's a subspecies.

00:58:27.000 They actually don't have a lot in common with your run-of-the-mill tranny. 1.00

00:58:29.000 You know, your RuPaul's, the people who just kind of want to be bitchy in that section of the bar with the cool kids. 0.99

00:58:33.000 This is a whole subspecies of gender, fluid, pansexuality.

00:58:38.000 It really only exists on campus. 0.78

00:58:40.000 And, you know, the terrible thing about it is, I'm sorry, but a lot of it is mental illness. 0.68

00:58:45.000 And to tell a guy with a mental illness, this is what I came away with.

00:58:47.000 This is what I came away with. 1.00

00:58:48.000 These university leftists are mean. 0.95

00:58:51.000 It's mean.

00:58:51.000 It is mean to tell a guy with a problem that his problem is society instead of, you know, his mind.

00:58:58.000 You know, nothing that society does for this guy is going to make him any happier.

00:59:03.000 And to tell him that if he can just get everyone to agree that he's a woman, poof, he'll be a woman, you know, I mean, ain't going to happen. 0.99

00:59:11.000 Clavin! 0.99

00:59:12.000 Oh, Clavin!

00:59:14.000 Feels like the Muppet guys are going to show up.

00:59:16.000 Oh, where do you get these jokes?

00:59:20.000 There's no trendy consensus.

00:59:24.000 Well, that must be the Gentile half! 1.00

00:59:31.000 You know, I think you're right.

00:59:32.000 Here's what's so crazy.

00:59:32.000 Like I said, it's probably a handful out of even the 40 or 50% of the students who are left.

00:59:38.000 So the rest of them are right.

00:59:39.000 Half of them, let's say, left.

00:59:41.000 Let's just do it for easy numbers.

00:59:42.000 50% conservative, 50% left, and, you know, single-digit percentage points of these kids who are left.

00:59:48.000 But the faculty acquiesces to them.

00:59:50.000 The late night shows acquiesce to them.

00:59:53.000 The Democratic National Platform acquiesce to them.

00:59:55.000 The Women's March acquiesces to them.

00:59:57.000 These people represent.001% of population Earth, but they occupy such a huge portion of the American cultural spectrum.

01:00:07.000 I've got to imagine people are seeing it.

01:00:10.000 And also, let's get down to the fact that these are kids.

01:00:14.000 These are people whose...

01:00:15.000 Your brain doesn't even form fully until you're 25 years old.

01:00:19.000 These are kids.

01:00:20.000 The professors and the administration are in charge of them and are their mentors.

01:00:24.000 They have, on Oberlin, they have a black dorm. 0.87

01:00:27.000 They have a dorm for black people. 0.99

01:00:30.000 Oh, for black people. 1.00

01:00:31.000 I just thought you meant it was like, it's the black dorm where you never go and come back. 1.00

01:00:36.000 It's the Negro dorm, baby! 1.00

01:00:38.000 That's the pirate dorm. 0.99

01:00:40.000 Look at this spot.

01:00:41.000 That's the butt pirate dorm where David Dow, Dr.

01:00:43.000 David Dow goes, ah, Percocet!

01:00:45.000 Go ahead.

01:00:46.000 Sorry. 0.96

01:00:47.000 No, this is where the black kids, you know, you leave college, you grow up in a place where everybody you know is black or Italian or Irish or Jewish or whatever. 0.99

01:00:55.000 You leave college, you're supposed to meet all these different people and realize, oh, I hate these people. 0.99

01:00:58.000 Let me go back home.

01:00:59.000 You're not supposed to expand.

01:01:01.000 You're mine. 0.96

01:01:02.000 And instead, they've got these kids hiding away in their little black dorm. 0.93

01:01:05.000 I mean, Martin Luther King would roll over in his grave.

01:01:08.000 Seriously, I was thinking people in my generation walked unarmed into the teeth of guns and clubs and dogs to get you out of this situation.

01:01:18.000 And you're so scared of being slighted, you going back in.

01:01:23.000 It's insane.

01:01:26.000 Telling them that they're victims.

01:01:28.000 I was talking to Christina Hoffsommers because she spoke before me a couple of months before me and got protested and all that. 0.96

01:01:34.000 She said the women were going into their safe spaces because they were triggered because she told them they weren't victims. 0.59

01:01:40.000 They weren't oppressed.

01:01:41.000 That's what triggered them.

01:01:42.000 Oh my God, I'm not oppressed. 0.99

01:01:45.000 The tits, though! 1.00

01:01:46.000 No, I'm telling you. 1.00

01:01:48.000 It's not just about the tits! 1.00

01:01:50.000 It's not! 0.99

01:01:51.000 What?!

01:01:51.000 Naomi Wolf told me!

01:01:54.000 I just read Naomi Wolf!

01:01:55.000 I'm very confused!

01:01:56.000 Here's the thing.

01:01:59.000 I'm with you, and it is remarkable, though, that these people have as much pull as they do.

01:02:04.000 I mean...

01:02:05.000 Again, if you read HuffPo, Salon, AOL, any of these mainstream websites, and we're not just talking about leftist websites either, just any site that's not right-wing, it's as though there's this unwritten agreement, like, oh yeah, she, yeah.

01:02:18.000 I couldn't find out who it was, even on campus reform, a conservative site, this 300-pound person with orange hair, said, I'm a woman, you better respect, they described this person as transgender.

01:02:28.000 I swear to you, we had a 20-minute roundtable where we're going, well, hold on a second.

01:02:32.000 It looks like a man, but saying he's a woman is kind of like just lack of any muscle tissue, so fat. 0.99

01:02:39.000 So it's really hard to determine.

01:02:40.000 So is this a male-to-female transgender?

01:02:42.000 Is this a female-to-male transgender? 0.82

01:02:44.000 I still wouldn't put any money down on it, but I think lesbian. 0.90

01:02:47.000 You just think a big old standard run-of-the-mill lesbian? 1.00

01:02:49.000 Run-of-the-mill.

01:02:50.000 And none of us, because the article just acted like, this is a transgender.

01:02:52.000 It's like, well, hold on a second.

01:02:53.000 This is key information we need to know.

01:02:56.000 And they act in the world, like, oh, yeah, sure, yeah, 300-pound orange-haired mohawk.

01:02:59.000 Well, yeah, you know.

01:03:01.000 Well, exactly.

01:03:02.000 That's a person who probably needs some help, you know, and, like, telling him that his world is terrible because you're in it.

01:03:09.000 You know, the world is a little more terrible because you're in it, but, I mean, his particular world Right, I know.

01:03:25.000 I'm gonna teach you to have no integrity.

01:03:27.000 I'm glad you've come to Oberlin, because when you come here, we're gonna teach you to have no integrity, lie to get ahead, and that's the life lesson we give you.

01:03:35.000 - Right, I know. - It's like, Thank you so much.

01:03:36.000 I appreciate that.

01:03:37.000 You say most liberal campus in the United States.

01:03:40.000 I mean, at that point, you're talking about a difference, maybe like a single percentage point.

01:03:43.000 Like Oberlin, it's like, well, I don't know.

01:03:45.000 Maybe if you go to Cornell, maybe it's like 94% liberal as opposed to 95%.

01:03:50.000 At a certain point, it doesn't matter anymore.

01:03:53.000 It really is this just horrible sort of manifestation of the worst that humanity has to offer.

01:03:59.000 And they're in this unholy alliance with the media, the entertainment industry, and academia.

01:04:04.000 And it doesn't even represent the left in the United States, like a lot of people who voted for Hillary Clinton.

01:04:09.000 Yeah, I think that's right.

01:04:10.000 I think it doesn't.

01:04:11.000 You know, it represents...

01:04:12.000 I mean, the left has this whole thing about...

01:04:14.000 That somehow speaking the truth is unvirtuous.

01:04:18.000 They have this whole idea that it's really so much better to say he's a woman because why would you hurt his feelings?

01:04:24.000 And you go like, well, the truth actually matters.

01:04:26.000 You know, the truth kind of sets it free and establishes, you know, we can all talk about the truth because we agree what it is.

01:04:31.000 But they actually think that the reality will change because they describe it differently.

01:04:36.000 If you describe this guy as a woman, somehow he'll be healthier of mind and happy and that's going to take away the fact that inside his mind he's going, I'm in hell!

01:04:45.000 Get me out of my head! 0.95

01:04:47.000 It's a living hell!

01:04:49.000 It's not going away because we call him a show.

01:04:51.000 No, it's not going away.

01:04:53.000 You ever just wake up and you just want to scream into your coffee mug at the top of your lungs?

01:04:57.000 No, I think I'm a man.

01:04:59.000 I don't think that's the issue.

01:05:03.000 And it is sad because we have people like Blair White on and Theron Meyer and people who are transgender who openly talk about this.

01:05:08.000 And I've talked about it as someone who actually has, you know, struggled with, we've talked about like mental health issues with ADHD, which manifested as like severe depression at one point.

01:05:14.000 They thought all kinds of things were wrong with me as a kid.

01:05:16.000 Well, imagine if they just said, oh, you know what?

01:05:19.000 He's just, he's fine.

01:05:20.000 Let him be that way.

01:05:21.000 And they didn't actually try to help me.

01:05:23.000 It's your fault for calling him sad.

01:05:24.000 If you would just call him happy, then he'd be happy.

01:05:26.000 It's like talking to somebody with an eating disorder.

01:05:30.000 You're like, yeah, you weigh 60 pounds, you look great. 0.85

01:05:32.000 No, you are a little fat. 0.99

01:05:33.000 When you say you're a little fat, go ahead, starve yourself, and when you're dead, we'll say you're alive, and then you'll be alive. 1.00

01:05:38.000 It's great. 0.99

01:05:39.000 It's a perfect system.

01:05:40.000 We're like Lena Dunham.

01:05:41.000 We talk about this.

01:05:41.000 Lena Dunham lost weight.

01:05:43.000 And hats off to her.

01:05:44.000 We're like, look, she looks better.

01:05:45.000 And she goes, you know what?

01:05:46.000 I did it for me, not for anybody else.

01:05:48.000 But I feel better.

01:05:49.000 I sleep better.

01:05:50.000 And let me tell you something, people.

01:05:51.000 Endorphins are real.

01:05:52.000 And we're sitting like...

01:05:54.000 We've been saying this this whole time, and you've been just saying we're hate speakers.

01:05:57.000 It's because we want what's good for you.

01:05:59.000 It really is just like a parent with a child.

01:06:01.000 It's like, listen, don't put your hand on a stove.

01:06:03.000 No!

01:06:03.000 Don't put your hand on a stove.

01:06:04.000 It's going to hurt.

01:06:05.000 No, whatever.

01:06:05.000 And they put it on, and it keeps burning.

01:06:07.000 And they're like, you know what?

01:06:07.000 When their hand is all bandaged up like Liam Neeson in Darkman, they're finally saying, you know what?

01:06:11.000 I actually think it's better to not touch the stove.

01:06:13.000 They're like, well, yeah, we've been telling you that the whole time.

01:06:15.000 That's what's happening with today's lesson.

01:06:16.000 And for Lena Dunham now, when she takes her shirt off, people won't press the remote, you know?

01:06:20.000 Yeah.

01:06:21.000 People may actually not stop watching the show.

01:06:23.000 I wouldn't go that far.

01:06:24.000 They might just go from 4K to standard def.

01:06:27.000 This is FCC show, Clay, but we don't tolerate that kind of imagery.

01:06:30.000 Yeah, seriously.

01:06:32.000 I don't know what he is.

01:06:32.000 Good lord.

01:06:33.000 At least I probably won't have to scratch out my eyes.

01:06:36.000 That was my usual reaction.

01:06:37.000 Like, blind me!

01:06:39.000 I cannot look into it!

01:06:39.000 I know.

01:06:40.000 HBO Girls was like, let's just take a... 1.00

01:06:42.000 Well, that's not true.

01:06:43.000 Linda Dunham is really the most unattractive one on that show. 1.00

01:06:46.000 There are some other girls who are attractive on that show. 0.97

01:06:48.000 She's like a swollen thumb. 1.00

01:06:50.000 Oh, God. 0.97

01:06:53.000 That was such a sexist thing.

01:06:55.000 I'm sorry.

01:06:56.000 I'm sorry.

01:06:56.000 No, David Gergen looks the same.

01:06:59.000 It's a genre of people.

01:07:01.000 It's not about the gender.

01:07:03.000 It's about the genre of human being.

01:07:06.000 Gergen, Karl Rove, Lena Dunham.

01:07:08.000 They could have been on that MTV some show by Steve Odenberg.

01:07:12.000 Okay, so this happened, and that was an eye-opener for you.

01:07:16.000 We were talking about this, you know, working in the entertainment industry, living out in Los Angeles.

01:07:20.000 You know, Jimmy Kimmel...

01:07:22.000 Obviously the news of this weekend, what happened with his son was horrible.

01:07:25.000 And when I first saw the story, I just saw the first segment where he was talking about his son.

01:07:28.000 It was very touching and moving and, you know, look at the modern miracle of medical innovation and science.

01:07:34.000 Wow, that's incredible.

01:07:36.000 I'm glad his son's okay. 1.00

01:07:37.000 I didn't see the second portion where it goes, by the way, Trump sucks. 0.97

01:07:40.000 I was like, well, how do you get to that pivot? 0.96

01:07:43.000 And that happened, and you were talking about this earlier, the Stephen Colbert, his comment on Donald Trump, Putin.

01:07:49.000 Unbelievable, yeah.

01:07:50.000 What was – because I don't want to – what was his term that he said about Donald Trump with Putin?

01:07:54.000 What was the term? 0.99

01:07:54.000 He said the only good thing about Trump's mouth is it's a cock holster for Putin, Vladimir Putin. 0.99

01:08:02.000 It's a funny word. 1.00

01:08:03.000 I'll give him that.

01:08:04.000 Funny word.

01:08:05.000 But it's like if that were you saying that, suddenly the gaze would be outside your door, like banging on the door.

01:08:12.000 But because he's anti-Trump, it's okay.

01:08:15.000 First of all, the guy's not that funny.

01:08:18.000 I mean, he was kind of funny when he was imitating Bill O'Reilly, but he's not that funny on the show.

01:08:22.000 And secondly, does every single late-night comic have to be an anti-Trump On an anti-Trump tirade every night?

01:08:31.000 Yeah.

01:08:31.000 I mean, isn't that a little boring?

01:08:33.000 And, you know, the fact that people like Samantha Bee, Samantha Bee and Trevor Noah are like sucking comedy out of the air.

01:08:39.000 I know.

01:08:39.000 Like, the world was a funnier place before they got there.

01:08:43.000 I mean, they have now, you know, it kind of makes your cheeks cave in like it's anti-laugh.

01:08:47.000 It's like pre and post fall of Skynet.

01:08:50.000 You know, I just, when I see them and turn on their theme songs, I'll hear it.

01:08:55.000 It's terrible.

01:08:56.000 But you look at Colbert's ratings.

01:08:57.000 His ratings are great.

01:08:59.000 I don't think Colbert is terrible.

01:08:59.000 I think Colbert can be funny.

01:09:01.000 I think Kimmel can be funny.

01:09:03.000 I don't think Samantha Bee... 1.00

01:09:04.000 Samantha Bee and Trevor Noah have never been entertaining accidentally.

01:09:08.000 It's remarkable.

01:09:10.000 But why do they all have to...

01:09:11.000 I mean, is there...

01:09:11.000 You're kind of funny.

01:09:14.000 I mean, is there nobody funny?

01:09:15.000 You were funny once.

01:09:16.000 It was a Thursday, I remember.

01:09:17.000 It happened at one point.

01:09:19.000 I mean, is there nobody that they can find who at least would tow a different line so that people could change channels and say, oh, that's a funny pro-Trump joke?

01:09:28.000 No?

01:09:28.000 I mean, it's all got to be the same thing?

01:09:30.000 You know, and we got so much flack, too.

01:09:32.000 I think a lot of the right, they claim they want it, but they don't really want it because, you know, we do this show and it was just, listen, it's comedic gold.

01:09:39.000 It was nothing but jokes about Bill O'Reilly groping his interns.

01:09:41.000 And the thing is, it was so great for me because I had to stay silent this whole time and I knew he did it!

01:09:45.000 I worked at Fox News.

01:09:46.000 Everyone who worked at Fox News knew that he did it.

01:09:48.000 Everyone knew that Bill O'Reilly was guilty.

01:09:50.000 And so it's kind of like, oh, joke, joke, joke, joke, joke.

01:09:52.000 I've been writing this for so long.

01:09:53.000 We're like, we need to stick together.

01:09:56.000 I'm like, well, who's we?

01:09:57.000 He's not a conservative, A. And B, we make fun of Trump.

01:10:01.000 We're going to make fun of Ben Carson because he's hysterical.

01:10:03.000 And I think he's the sweetest guy alive.

01:10:05.000 And I think a lot of people, you know, you want to be the world's most powerful genie.

01:10:10.000 And everything that comes with it.

01:10:11.000 And they don't really want that.

01:10:13.000 I think you're right.

01:10:14.000 I think that's right.

01:10:15.000 I think the left knows that.

01:10:16.000 I think the left is like, just keep anything that will offend us in a box.

01:10:19.000 Put it away.

01:10:20.000 Whereas the right is like, yeah, bring on the comedy.

01:10:22.000 And then when they get something that bothers them, they have an issue with it.

01:10:25.000 And I just think it's just harder to sort of get the right on one page.

01:10:28.000 I think it's It's clickbait for leftists.

01:10:30.000 I think clickbait, just like it was pro-Trump, pro-Trump, pro-Trump for all the right-wing websites leading up to the election all the way through the primaries, I think it's just cheap comedy.

01:10:40.000 They know that, look at Colbert's ratings.

01:10:42.000 They're not bad right now.

01:10:43.000 They're actually doing pretty well, and I think it's easy territory to tread, and I think that just keep doing what's working.

01:10:49.000 Yeah, that's right.

01:10:50.000 And what happens is it's a vicious circle because as they lose their right-wing audience, their only audience they can get is left-wing, so they just have to double down and keep bringing them in or else they run out of audience.

01:11:01.000 Yeah, no, of course.

01:11:02.000 And, you know, Maureen Dowd, bless her heart, has actually spoken about this.

01:11:05.000 She said, my audience does not want to read, during the election, she said, my audience does not want to read bad things about Hillary Clinton.

01:11:11.000 And Dowd has always been very honest about the Clintons.

01:11:13.000 She's one of the few people on the left who actually went after them.

01:11:16.000 And she said, you know, they do not want to hear it.

01:11:18.000 They don't want to hear it.

01:11:19.000 So you open the New York Times now, a former newspaper, you know, and it is like, I mean, it is like, it's like walking into a room of, you know, women after they've seen a mouse, you know, like fashion women. 0.97

01:11:32.000 It is like people jumping on chairs, screaming.

01:11:34.000 I mean, you know, where is it?

01:11:35.000 Where is it?

01:11:35.000 You know, it's like, it's Donald Trump, Donald Trump.

01:11:37.000 I mean, it's amazing.

01:11:39.000 And I think that that is a problem on the right, too.

01:11:41.000 I really do.

01:11:42.000 I mean, if you can't make jokes about Bill O'Reilly chasing women around the desk, after all, we're conservatives.

01:11:47.000 We're supposed to be nice to women, you know?

01:11:48.000 I know.

01:11:49.000 I mean, I've been looking into how much it would cost to actually have a cuckoo clock where instead of the pirate running out chasing the beer maid, it's Bill O'Reilly chasing his EP. I had a cuckoo!

01:11:58.000 Come on, look it out for the folks!

01:12:00.000 It would be in this corner, nonstop.

01:12:02.000 And I know he's...

01:12:05.000 The no spin zone.

01:12:07.000 Which is ironic, because that's what he called his interns.

01:12:09.000 The ones he favorite most were spinners.

01:12:10.000 Go ahead, Andrew.

01:12:11.000 Fair point.

01:12:12.000 You did work at Fox.

01:12:13.000 I've never worked at Fox.

01:12:14.000 Was it true that everybody knew this was going on?

01:12:17.000 Okay, I can't speak for everybody.

01:12:18.000 Did I know?

01:12:19.000 Yes.

01:12:20.000 And I came out right away when the stuff came out with Sean Hannity.

01:12:23.000 I said, no, listen.

01:12:24.000 And I know Debbie Schlussel. 0.99

01:12:25.000 She's a crazy person. 1.00

01:12:26.000 I have no evidence whatsoever. 0.99

01:12:27.000 It's not common knowledge with Sean Hannity.

01:12:29.000 If it were, it would be a surprise.

01:12:31.000 And I openly, I put my money on the line.

01:12:35.000 And by the way, we just saw another person leave Fox News.

01:12:37.000 If you go back and read, I said, listen, there are going to be two more people, I guarantee you, information is going to come out about.

01:12:42.000 And one of them will be directly affiliated, I think, with Sean Hannity.

01:12:47.000 And I think they're going to try and use that by proxy to hurt Sean.

01:12:49.000 But I said, I have no evidence.

01:12:51.000 As a matter of fact, I have evidence to the opposite.

01:12:52.000 When he used to do his freedom tours, he was very careful, just from an intelligence standpoint, to not be alone with women who weren't his wife.

01:12:58.000 He would often leave.

01:13:00.000 He wouldn't stay at the same hotel as other people.

01:13:01.000 He was very...

01:13:02.000 He's always struck me as a very honorable guy.

01:13:04.000 Yes.

01:13:04.000 He just seems like a really straight arrow guy.

01:13:06.000 Right.

01:13:07.000 Yeah, he's a gentleman.

01:13:08.000 But the difference is, Bill O'Reilly did it.

01:13:09.000 I think, you know, and I can just say from what I've constantly heard walking the halls at Fox, you know, it was just an assumed truth, and several names that were outed.

01:13:18.000 One of them I knew was a friend of mine, and I had heard this before, so it didn't come to me as a surprise.

01:13:23.000 It doesn't mean that everyone is guilty, and I hate that they're going to try and do this as a headshot by proxy to everyone else.

01:13:28.000 Right, right.

01:13:29.000 But, yeah, I think he'd, yeah.

01:13:30.000 But, you know, it is funny.

01:13:31.000 When I first went to Fox, I think it was to be on the Gutfeld show, and I said to Greg, you know, this is like bizarro high school because it's all the nerdy guys with the most beautiful women on earth, you know?

01:13:42.000 And so it's like the opposite of high school where the nerdy guys never got anywhere near those women.

01:13:47.000 And that may have been a bad formula.

01:13:49.000 Yeah.

01:13:50.000 It's like all those guys who couldn't get dates in high school were suddenly going, look, I'm here!

01:13:54.000 I've got to make sure all the sun shines.

01:13:57.000 Let's pair them with a bunch of women on the leg cams and convince them that it's not because they have money. 1.00

01:14:02.000 What could possibly go wrong here?

01:14:04.000 I've had the worst recall today, but I remember what I was going to talk about.

01:14:08.000 You were talking about these kids on Oberlin College.

01:14:09.000 First thing I do is I say, hey, Google, good morning, and it gives me the news of the day and the temperature, and I have this little Google Home thing.

01:14:15.000 But I make sure it's not listening when I unplug it.

01:14:17.000 Anyways, conspiracies aside.

01:14:19.000 Because Google, they're always watching you.

01:14:20.000 Alexa or Google, they actually, it's in the fine print.

01:14:22.000 They can listen always.

01:14:24.000 It's a learning computer.

01:14:25.000 Really?

01:14:25.000 Yes, you have to manually say, Google, mute yourself.

01:14:28.000 Or, hey, Alexa, stop listening.

01:14:30.000 Otherwise, it's always listening.

01:14:31.000 It's written in the pamphlet.

01:14:32.000 Anyway, I say, hey, Google.

01:14:34.000 And it's playing news from NPR, because that's the default.

01:14:37.000 And there was some kind of protest.

01:14:38.000 I don't know if it was talking about May Day or what it was.

01:14:40.000 But there was someone yelling.

01:14:41.000 It was on a college campus.

01:14:43.000 It might have been Berkeley.

01:14:44.000 And they were screaming, I swear to you, a bunch of people chanting out, We have nothing to lose but our chains!

01:14:49.000 We have nothing to lose but our chains!

01:14:51.000 Hold on a second.

01:14:52.000 Your scholarship based on minority status, your well-paying job, your master's degree in German poetry that your parents subsidize.

01:15:00.000 You have a lot more to lose than your chains.

01:15:02.000 This is like at Yale, they're having this symbolic hunger strike.

01:15:05.000 What's a symbolic hunger strike?

01:15:06.000 It's where you don't eat until you're hungry and then you eat, you know?

01:15:11.000 That is the academic left in a nutshell, though.

01:15:14.000 It's like symbolic actions against symbolic oppression that's not actually happening.

01:15:19.000 I know.

01:15:19.000 And it makes you a symbolic hero.

01:15:21.000 I took symbolic action against symbolic oppression.

01:15:24.000 You fail to understand.

01:15:26.000 They're not the hero that campus needs, but the symbol it deserves.

01:15:30.000 All right.

01:15:31.000 Andrew Klavan, where can people best find you, sir?

01:15:34.000 Listen to the podcast on The Daily Wire, and you can come and find me on Twitter at Andrew Klavan.

01:15:40.000 At Andrew Klavan, The Andrew Klavan Show.

01:15:41.000 Highly recommend it.

01:15:42.000 Also, Ben Shapiro's over there.

01:15:43.000 Good guy.

01:15:44.000 Good guys.

01:15:44.000 Thank you guys.

01:15:45.000 We'll be back.

01:15:46.000 It's a wonderful place to work.

01:15:47.000 It is.

01:15:48.000 It's a wonderful place.

01:15:48.000 Good people.

01:15:49.000 We've got to go.

01:15:49.000 We've got to...

01:15:50.000 This guy needs to shut up. 1.00

01:15:50.000 He needs to shut his mouth. 1.00

01:15:56.000 Home Body Break. 0.98

01:16:03.000 With Steven Crowder and Not Gage Aaron.

01:16:08.000 Summer's a great time to use the pool and cool off, but it's not for everyone.

01:16:12.000 I'm not a confident swimmer.

01:16:14.000 And that's why there are a few key safety tips you have to follow first before you take part in your summer refreshment.

01:16:19.000 The proper flotation devices and a positive attitude go a long way to ensuring a pleasant pool experience.

01:16:29.000 And fencing off the danger zones is a must to ensure that the aquatically challenged don't find their way in. 1.00

01:16:35.000 Shit. 1.00

01:16:41.000 Shit. 1.00

01:16:42.000 Shit. Shit. 1.00

01:16:43.000 I don't know how that happened. 1.00

01:16:45.000 We had the fence up.

01:16:47.000 That's not a real fence.

01:16:48.000 That's where we put the fence in.

01:16:49.000 He's supposed to know that he's not.

01:16:51.000 The wings weren't.

01:16:53.000 Home Body Break.

01:17:02.000 Sponsored by Mug Club.

01:17:04.000 Join today at louderwithbrider.com slash microphone.

01:17:08.000 Thank you.

01:17:38.000 Thank you.

01:17:59.000 That's a lot of work, that drowning dance.

01:18:01.000 Victory.

01:18:03.000 So grateful.

01:18:03.000 Boss Rootin, Andrew Klavan.

01:18:05.000 Show went a little long today, but I know sometimes people complain that, like, ah, the show used to be longer on Thursday.

01:18:10.000 Well, now we kind of split the difference.

01:18:11.000 The daily shows, for those who are multiple members, typically about, it's like a cable show.

01:18:15.000 It's like around between 44 minutes to an hour.

01:18:17.000 And then we add an extra guest for you on the Thursdays.

01:18:19.000 By the way, coming very soon.

01:18:21.000 I don't know if it's going to be the week after next week.

01:18:24.000 Right now there's a free trial.

01:18:25.000 There's always a free trial if you join the Mud Club or go to CRTV for seven days on the site.

01:18:29.000 But we're going to be offering this show for seven days for free.

01:18:32.000 Maybe even 14 days.

01:18:33.000 I don't know.

01:18:34.000 I should read the fine print.

01:18:35.000 On YouTube.

01:18:36.000 So for those who still...

01:18:38.000 You know, listen. 0.99

01:18:39.000 If you want to support the show when you're tired of YouTube's crap, there you go. 0.92

01:18:43.000 We'll let you try it even for free using YouTube's strength against itself. 0.93

01:18:49.000 You know, we were talking about this earlier today.

01:18:51.000 And we were talking about it earlier in the show.

01:18:52.000 It just kind of hit me.

01:18:53.000 The left, we're in this modern movement, right?

01:18:56.000 Self-esteem movement.

01:18:57.000 Which is funny because I think the Generation Z people, below millennials, I think they're rejecting that. 0.57

01:19:02.000 I think so.

01:19:03.000 The whole culture of, like, no red pens.

01:19:05.000 You're younger than I am.

01:19:07.000 And you got it more than I did.

01:19:08.000 I'm kind of at the top end of millennials.

01:19:10.000 And we saw it coming. 1.00

01:19:11.000 We're like, ugh, these asshats. 1.00

01:19:13.000 You know? 1.00

01:19:13.000 Oh, gosh. 1.00

01:19:14.000 They can't lose a soccer game.

01:19:15.000 And then you came in and you're like...

01:19:16.000 We can't lose a soccer game!

01:19:18.000 So there's kind of that middle, that eye of the tornado of millennials who are on board with it.

01:19:24.000 Do tornadoes have eyes?

01:19:26.000 Have they figured that one out?

01:19:27.000 Did I say tornado?

01:19:27.000 I meant her.

01:19:28.000 Well, yeah, tornadoes all, you know, in the middle of a cyclone.

01:19:30.000 I guess so.

01:19:31.000 It's a cyclone.

01:19:32.000 It's a tornado.

01:19:33.000 It's a vortex.

01:19:35.000 Do you have an idea how Vortex works?

01:19:36.000 Anyways, Hurricane is the same thing, just bigger.

01:19:39.000 But it's sort of been rejected by the generations.

01:19:43.000 They're becoming more conservative, and I think they actually want to get by on their merits.

01:19:46.000 And I think the reason for it is this whole modern self-esteem movement rings really hollow.

01:19:50.000 You know, people need to have good self-esteem.

01:19:52.000 Everyone should feel good about themselves.

01:19:53.000 No.

01:19:54.000 Everyone should have a good body image. 0.77

01:19:56.000 Incorrect.

01:19:57.000 Not everybody should have a good body image.

01:19:59.000 Not everybody should feel good about themselves.

01:20:00.000 We never used to have self-esteem movements because self-esteem was earned. 0.94

01:20:04.000 If you accomplished crap, you had good self-esteem. 0.91

01:20:07.000 And if you didn't, you had horrible self-esteem and deservedly so. 0.99

01:20:11.000 That's what it used to be.

01:20:13.000 But once we just...

01:20:14.000 And this is, they're inextricably tied, the modern, the progressive left, and the self-esteem movement.

01:20:19.000 You are not going to find any conservatives, any right-wingers, any libertarians saying, you shouldn't be able to use a red pen in a test because that hurts somebody's feelings.

01:20:27.000 Maybe some kind of alt-right populist, but no.

01:20:30.000 Conservatism is about rugged individualism.

01:20:32.000 It is about taking responsibility for your own actions.

01:20:34.000 This modern self-esteem movement...

01:20:37.000 100% the progressive, regressive left, to use Dave Rubin's phrase.

01:20:42.000 And what's crazy about it is they talk about how everyone deserves self-esteem.

01:20:45.000 You should feel good about yourself.

01:20:46.000 Yet, as we saw today, they don't believe that you can accomplish anything.

01:20:50.000 We talked about that earlier in the week, how there are kind of ties between masculinity and limited government and constitutionalism and femininity, the feelings and liberalism, where, you know, men don't tend to get as jealous as women do.

01:21:03.000 Tend to be more inspired by other successful people.

01:21:06.000 Yeah.

01:21:06.000 They're lifted and brought up.

01:21:08.000 Right.

01:21:08.000 They don't want to bring the people down.

01:21:09.000 Right.

01:21:10.000 Yeah.

01:21:10.000 And they don't travel in herds, you know, in the same way whether they...

01:21:14.000 Well, some people do.

01:21:15.000 They're called bikers.

01:21:17.000 Your bandana's not fooling anybody.

01:21:18.000 Anyway, the point is, there are ties there with rugged individualism.

01:21:22.000 Again, I don't believe that you can truly be a man and mock the idea, as Michael Moore does, of pulling yourself up by your bootstraps.

01:21:28.000 You're not a man.

01:21:29.000 You're a woman with a slightly larger pouch. 0.99

01:21:32.000 That's how I see you.

01:21:34.000 A man has got to believe that he can provide for his family.

01:21:36.000 A man has got to believe that he can rest on his own laurels.

01:21:40.000 A man has got to believe that he is worth something and adds something, brings something to the table.

01:21:45.000 It's a huge part of what is the makeup of a man.

01:21:49.000 On a microcosm level, I don't know.

01:21:51.000 I don't relate to it.

01:21:52.000 Because even if I have just a bad day where I feel like, man, I really phoned it in today, I don't sleep as well.

01:21:57.000 I sleep so much better knowing, hey, I worked my butt off today to accomplish something.

01:22:02.000 And I can't imagine going my whole life feeling like I phoned it in, but I patted myself on the back when I got home at night and said, hey, I deserve this beer because I'm going to rest well.

01:22:11.000 I don't relate to that.

01:22:12.000 Or cider rye, as you text cider rye all night.

01:22:15.000 It was good.

01:22:16.000 I'm glad you enjoyed the bottle I sent to you.

01:22:18.000 But that is true.

01:22:19.000 And you know what?

01:22:19.000 A good way for a wife to get a husband in a fight, I know this, and I know it with my dad, with any man I know, or a partner, is if you feel as though you've come up short, and then to say, oh, I'm sure you did great.

01:22:32.000 Oh, I'm sure...

01:22:33.000 For a woman to say, or a partner, for all of our listeners out there, Chad with AIDS, love you, to say, I'm sure you did fine.

01:22:40.000 And you know that they have no idea what the situation is.

01:22:43.000 Even if you do think that you get mad because it rings hollow.

01:22:47.000 I used to say this to my wife.

01:22:49.000 I'm like, don't say that because you have no idea.

01:22:50.000 Maybe I did screw up.

01:22:51.000 No, I didn't.

01:22:52.000 But maybe I did.

01:22:53.000 But when you say that, and then I know and I tell you that I didn't screw up and that I was dealt a bad hand today.

01:22:59.000 And you say, hey, cheer up.

01:23:01.000 It rings hollow.

01:23:02.000 Because you're just saying, they're there.

01:23:04.000 It's like, I don't want you to be a cheerleader.

01:23:05.000 I just want you to just, I don't want you to doggy pile on my enemies.

01:23:07.000 Maybe I really screwed up.

01:23:09.000 Yeah.

01:23:09.000 And it's okay to call it out.

01:23:11.000 Exactly.

01:23:12.000 Well, not call out, but okay to certainly bring forward, you know, hey, maybe you can do this better.

01:23:16.000 Now, on the flip side, women get mad at that. 1.00

01:23:19.000 Everyone knows that.

01:23:19.000 Women go, listen, I just want to be able to vent and know that you're listening.

01:23:23.000 I don't want you to offer solutions to problems.

01:23:25.000 These are some of the biggest fights I had with my wife in the first couple of years. 0.99

01:23:28.000 She was like, I just need to know that you're listening.

01:23:30.000 I don't need you to offer a solution.

01:23:31.000 Whereas men feel better if it's not a they're there, but there's some kind of solution-oriented conversation. 0.99

01:23:38.000 We know that.

01:23:39.000 This is a part of our genetic makeup.

01:23:41.000 But self-esteem is the they're there.

01:23:45.000 It is the universal pat on the back.

01:23:46.000 And these same people saying, they're there, you should have self-esteem, are telling you, you can't pay for your own health care.

01:23:51.000 You need the government to create a mandate.

01:23:53.000 You need publicly funded insurance.

01:23:55.000 They're saying, you can't save for your own retirement.

01:23:58.000 You need Social Security.

01:24:00.000 You need the government to tell you how to save your money.

01:24:02.000 They're telling you that you can't find a good job, that you can't move up.

01:24:05.000 It's the 1%. 0.95

01:24:06.000 The cards are stacked against you.

01:24:08.000 You've been dealt a bad hand.

01:24:09.000 You need us.

01:24:11.000 But by the way, you should feel...

01:24:12.000 You can accomplish nothing...

01:24:14.000 Without us, don't you feel good about yourself?

01:24:18.000 There's nothing wrong with femininity either, but isn't it funny how, at least this is purely anecdotal, but all the really super far-left social justice warrior type of friends in my life, people I know, all of them have strands of femininity that they present.

01:24:32.000 The way they carry themselves out, they are the cat men.

01:24:35.000 Yeah.

01:24:36.000 They are, and it's like, there are some weird parallels there between, and there's nothing wrong with femininity when it's a woman, and marriage works great, and you can make it, it could be a beautiful thing.

01:24:45.000 Again, because consoling is important, especially that balance with kids.

01:24:48.000 Men can be pretty harsh with kids.

01:24:50.000 Sure.

01:24:50.000 I know my dad will do that with me, and he'll be like, oh.

01:24:53.000 But you did screw up though, right?

01:24:54.000 You know, when you're a kid, you don't want to hear that.

01:24:56.000 As a kid, yeah, it's tough.

01:24:57.000 But as mom would be the, they're there.

01:24:59.000 That's great.

01:24:59.000 But it's not great when creating a society.

01:25:02.000 And this self-esteem movement, the big irony to me is that it tells you you can't accomplish anything.

01:25:07.000 And boy, gee golly, shouldn't you feel great about it?

01:25:10.000 And I think that if you believe that and if you vote for the people who tell you that you can't accomplish anything, to me, again, voting is just like voting with your dollar when you go and you decide to buy something.

01:25:20.000 In that voting booth, it's like today's modern sacrificing a ram. 0.98

01:25:25.000 There aren't a lot of sacrifices.

01:25:26.000 There aren't a lot of moments of permanence today.

01:25:30.000 A vote is one of them, where you put that in there and you don't get it back.

01:25:34.000 You are voting right there.

01:25:36.000 You are truly putting a stamp on it.

01:25:38.000 This is what I believe.

01:25:40.000 And if you put a stamp on it and say, this is what I believe, I believe that everybody else has to cover my mistakes.

01:25:46.000 I believe that I can't provide for my family and myself.

01:25:49.000 I believe that it's society's job to shoulder the burden for me.

01:25:54.000 I don't think you should have self-esteem.

01:25:56.000 We have gotten to the point it's still the same.

01:25:57.000 It ties into everything.

01:26:00.000 It's so crystal clear.

01:26:00.000 Think about this.

01:26:01.000 We have people, Netflix and Disney, going back and scrubbing scientific facts from 1990s science videos.

01:26:11.000 Why?

01:26:11.000 Because it could hurt someone's self-esteem.

01:26:15.000 It's not.

01:26:16.000 Well, the science was wrong.

01:26:17.000 It could hurt someone's self-esteem.

01:26:19.000 So we're against this bill because it could hurt someone's self-esteem and they need all this free stuff.

01:26:24.000 We need to go back and remove this idea that your biological sex is determined by chromosomes.

01:26:29.000 Why?

01:26:29.000 Because it could hurt someone's self-esteem.

01:26:30.000 We don't believe that people are capable of handling any criticism or any opposing viewpoint, which is largely why Patrick Moore, atmospheric science, sorry, PhD in ecology, his debate requests go completely unanswered from the left.

01:26:42.000 There's a reason that we believe in a form of voices.

01:26:44.000 There's a reason that we believe in a form of open debate.

01:26:47.000 Because you know why?

01:26:48.000 Most conservatives tend to have good self-esteem.

01:26:50.000 And they're okay accepting win, lose, or draw.

01:26:52.000 In my experience, the people I hang out with, the Andrew Klavans, the Ben Shapiros, the people in this room, we don't expect to win every time, but we expect to be given a chance at bat.

01:27:01.000 The progressive left wants you to start at third base and tell you that you've deserved it.

01:27:07.000 And you know that you didn't even bunt.

01:27:09.000 You didn't even get a walk.

01:27:11.000 And that is something that is incredibly corrosive.

01:27:13.000 I'm really glad to see people rejecting it, but I do want you to think about it as you move on in your week and think about other people in your lives, other people who sit there and talk about self-esteem or who might be far leftists.

01:27:23.000 And anytime a conversation comes up and you see this sort of congruent through line of someone else needs to fix this, I don't believe in myself, this could offend somebody, bring it in on the self-esteem movement.

01:27:35.000 Well, you must really believe that these people have no self-esteem.

01:27:38.000 Well, what do you mean?

01:27:38.000 Well, if you think someone's going to kill their self because of a Bill Nye video, you really don't think a lot of the transgender community.

01:27:43.000 What, what, what, what?

01:27:44.000 Man, you must really think so little about yourself.

01:27:46.000 Well, what are you talking about?

01:27:47.000 If you don't believe that you can purchase health insurance at your age, which might cost you about $120 a month, you must really think that you can't provide.

01:27:54.000 What, what, what, what?

01:27:56.000 Oh man, gosh.

01:27:57.000 You must really have no faith in your abilities.

01:27:59.000 I mean, you have a college degree, but you're demanding that the government set some arbitrary, artificial minimum wage that's going to cause hyperinflation because you simply don't believe that you can move up in the workplace?

01:28:10.000 That's sad.

01:28:10.000 Have you thought about seeing someone?

01:28:11.000 What, what, what?

01:28:13.000 It all comes down to people not believing in themselves and telling everyone else that they should believe in themselves and reach for the stars.

01:28:19.000 There's a star.

01:28:20.000 Well, hold on.

01:28:21.000 Let us get that for you.

01:28:23.000 And I think that's no way to live.

01:28:25.000 And that's why we do this show.

01:28:26.000 And that's why we keep fighting back.

01:28:28.000 That's why Mug Club exists. 1.00

01:28:29.000 You know why?

01:28:29.000 Because I think it's sad.

01:28:31.000 And I think telling people that they deserve self-esteem when it's not earned This is a modern concept.

01:28:37.000 Self-esteem, if not earned, rings completely hollow.

01:28:41.000 It's a lie.

01:28:42.000 Just like Ben Carson was talking about, we talked about that this week, with Urban Housing.

01:28:49.000 He said, thank you, my stroke mouth factor.

01:28:52.000 Where he said, no, we don't want to make it super comfortable.

01:28:53.000 We want to encourage ambition.

01:28:55.000 We want to encourage people to get out of these situations.

01:28:57.000 To provide someone with a life of comfort, but with no ambition, under the guise of, hey, you should feel good about yourself no matter what, is to rob someone of, like what not KJR was talking about, is to rob someone of the most basic and the greatest joys that life has to offer.

01:29:13.000 I think that.

01:29:14.000 Don't rob yourself of it.

01:29:16.000 Don't shortchange yourself.

01:29:17.000 We'll see you next week, Mug Club members, on Monday, Thursday, for the Cheapskates. 0.97
