On this week's episode of Drunk Tank, the crew talks about the latest in the Trump-Comey saga, and a goat that may or may not have been born with an alien brain. Plus, a story about a goat who was born without an eye.
00:03:33.000And we'll be talking about the Trump-Comey situation.
00:03:34.000Russia, we did a timeline on Monday, but some things have changed, so we didn't want to touch on it every single day or we would have no shows.
00:03:49.000Illegal immigrants have been arrested by ICE. U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement, they've arrested more than 41,000 individuals, and that's 37.6% more compared to a comparable segment of 2016.
00:09:46.000So, the problem is he can make leftists right just by making these constant mistakes.
00:09:52.000On the flip side, you know, there was a fight on CNN about this.
00:09:55.000When every single source is unnamed, when every single source is anonymous, I get you have to protect your sources, I understand that, but at a certain point, if this is going to get legal, a source is going to be revealed.
00:10:12.000What also bothers me is Donald Trump not just having a team huddle before he goes on Twitter and completely contradicts his national security advisors.
00:11:18.000They're running a business saying, you can't scratch your mind for yours to get you out of obstruction of justice.
00:11:23.000I don't think he's been obstructing justice.
00:11:24.000What I do think is this has shown that before the end of his term, he is a liability.
00:11:29.000He's a liability because he doesn't think before he speaks.
00:11:31.000And he's been allowed to get away with that for his whole life because, think about it, from the moment he was able to understand money as a concept, every relationship he's had has been someone subservient to him.
00:12:03.000What really worries me is they're going to say it's his lack of experience.
00:12:06.000I think someone can go into office as a business person with lack of experience.
00:12:10.000But a business person who came from the middle class or lower middle class, who built up a product or service and created a business and employed people, it's very different from someone who was leveraging loans, eminent domain, filing Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
00:14:23.000And so it makes people who otherwise would be thinking critically of some of Donald Trump's mistakes to completely gloss over them because the media has put him on his heels so much when they were so soft on Obama.
00:16:07.000She's like, nine times out of ten, that's what it is.
00:16:09.000She has yet to see someone who didn't know that you could get condoms for 25 cents at a truck stop.
00:16:15.000So that's important to note here with Planned Parenthood because this is their constant argument.
00:16:19.000I remember when I was a kid, they said, well, black Americans don't have access to computers in their libraries, so they don't know about birth control.
00:16:24.000And now they just say, well, black Americans don't know.
00:18:00.000So I love how they show the black woman, by the way, with this towel over her, and this is the one with breast cancer, so they're checking her.
00:18:06.000Yeah, by the way, we have more employees, and Planned Parenthood has mammogram machines.
00:18:43.000But their incentive is to try and get the person to either have the baby, they provide adoption services, they provide support for single mothers, all of that.
00:18:51.000And they very often find that women go in there with the idea of abortion and can be very easily convinced to not do so.
00:18:57.000As a matter of fact, they're often pressured by a boyfriend.
00:18:59.000The most common scenario is they knew about birth control, didn't use it, and a boyfriend doesn't want to have the baby, so the woman goes along with it.
00:19:04.000And very often they are encouraged to either keep the baby, give it up for adoption, and more of these women leave, go to school.
00:19:25.000There are parents right now lined up who are trying to get kids and who can't.
00:19:28.000Planned Parenthood is just as incentivized to get them to kill their baby.
00:19:34.000So whether you walk into a Planned Parenthood or some other crisis pregnancy center, which provide better healthcare, better resources, and better references, that almost will determine, statistically, whether you abort your baby or not.
00:20:19.000Yeah, to pull on the heartstrings, which is interesting because actually they went with Joss Whedon, but they had another direction with taking a filmmaker.
00:20:25.000Well, the first filmmaker screen test was almost as tasteful.
00:25:35.000So my family originally came over with William the Conqueror in 1066 in the Battle of Hastings.
00:25:41.000My understanding is that we were fairly alpha to a bunch of half-starving Irish peasants, ended up being awarded some land.
00:25:49.000And then I had, I think it was a great-grandfather who, strangely enough for an Irishman, enjoyed the bottle quite a bit and ended up trading off land for liquor.
00:25:58.000And thus we were cast forward into the world to make our way among the normies.
00:26:03.000And so far I actually think it was a very, very good change on the family tree.
00:26:07.000Yeah, well, he's what we would call an outlier for an Irishman.
00:26:13.000So, okay, so I'm really glad to have you on the show.
00:26:15.000Obviously, you're a big presence on YouTube.
00:26:41.000I have two minds about it, Steve, so I'll tell you what I think and then you guys let me know what you think, of course, right?
00:26:46.000So the first thing is I have sympathy for the people who've got payroll to meet, who've got bills to pay and so on and who are relying on this.
00:26:52.000And I've seen people, you know, big famous YouTube guys, they're posting like 90% reduction, 95%.
00:26:58.000I even saw one 98% reduction and I'm pretty sure his light went out during the actual show because I couldn't even pay the electricity bill.
00:27:05.000So like the Grinch with hooks and some wire, yeah.
00:27:17.000On the other hand, I really like that the left, if they're the ones behind it, and I think it's fairly safe to say that they are.
00:27:24.000I love that the left is not making an argument, but is instead doing what the left does in general, attack your reputation and try and destroy your source of revenue.
00:27:32.000There is a fight for Western civilization, which I also like to call civilization, which And it's not going to be pretty.
00:27:39.000I love the fact that they're getting lazy, that they're running to the government, that they're running to advertisers rather than getting better arguments and taking us on in the ring.
00:27:46.000If you're a boxer, you really love it when the other guy sits on his ass, stuffs Cheetos into his face and doesn't train because everyone's going to have to get into the ring at some point.
00:27:53.000I love the fact that we're getting leaner and meaner while they're getting fatter and lazier.
00:27:57.000Yeah, actually a regular guest on the show, Chael Sonnen, he's an MMA fighter, and all these MMA fighters used to try and act virtuous.
00:28:02.000They'd say, well, I hope my opponent is a, I hope he's the best Anderson Silva I've ever fought.
00:28:06.000And Chael Sonnen would go, why would I say it?
00:28:09.000Why do I want to fight the best Anderson?
00:28:10.000I want to fight a sickly, ill-prepared, underserved, undercoached Anderson Silva, kick his ass and go home without a scratch.
00:28:46.000But if you look at their active support, YouTube's active support of the Young Turks and Samantha Bee and Trevor Noah...
00:28:52.000I think it's pretty clear that they've bet on some liberal horses and the other liberal horses get screwed, but there's not a single conservative or right-leaning horse in the stable.
00:29:14.000We own this particular platform, and they've managed to transcend any kind of objectivity with regards to Facebook and Twitter and other platforms.
00:29:22.000So yeah, this is our neck of the woods.
00:29:24.000Now, I think that what they've done in the attempt to appear more fair is they've obviously demonetized controversial stuff as a whole.
00:29:32.000But the problem is, of course, as you know, Stephen, leftist stuff is generally mainstream these days.
00:29:36.000And so if you're going to start hitting controversial stuff, you're going to disproportionately hit non-leftist.
00:29:42.000And, of course, it does help that it promotes the mainstream media who are considered to be authentic news, practical news, regular old, got to be honest news.
00:29:51.000And so the mainstream media is monetized and is available in searches and is promoted.
00:29:55.000But they're generally on the left as well.
00:29:57.000I mean, the last holdout was Fox, and it looks like they're crumbling now as well.
00:30:01.000So if you're going to just say, well, mainstream media is fine, that automatically is, to me, at least a leftist bias to begin with.
00:30:07.000Oh, I think so, especially with the moving goalposts, right, with what's considered offensive.
00:30:11.000The truth is, right now, if you believe that you are born biologically a male or female, that's considered offensive.
00:30:15.000That can be filed as hate speech, and you're not going to find leftists who say that.
00:30:20.000Now, I know you and I would disagree on probably a multitude of issues, probably 50-50, where we'd agree and disagree.
00:30:25.000Probably, I would say, maybe a few years ago, we would not be talking as much.
00:30:29.000We'd probably be seen as more so on opposite sides of the fence.
00:30:32.000Do you think, though, that just because of how intolerant and narrow-minded the left has become, that it's created a bigger tent for sort of conservatives, right-wingers, I guess you would say libertarian philosophers, I don't want to misrepresent you, but, you know, you're not the, I guess, sort of a conservative in the traditional sense, yet here we are, and it doesn't seem like the left can even do that.
00:30:53.000Well, all I want is for the conversation to continue.
00:30:56.000The conversation called civilization, where you bring reason, you bring evidence, you bring your best rhetorical and skills to a conversation, you debate, and it is in that furnace, it is in those sparks that the sword gets sharpened.
00:31:09.000And of course, I'm talking about the allegorical sword and all that, but I just want the conversation to continue.
00:31:14.000When you've got people on the left, you know, when you've got them throwing rocks, when you've got them planning acid attacks at right-wing gatherings or non-leftist gatherings, when you've got them setting fire to policemen in Paris, well, that kind of shuts down the conversation.
00:31:27.000You know, I've chatted with liberals on this show, people on the left on this show.
00:31:30.000Wherever there's a civilized conversation, man, I'm there.
00:31:35.000But when you have people who want to pull fire alarms, who want to stop speakers from coming to campuses, publicly funded, publicly funded, Yeah.
00:31:42.000Well, then I think we have a common enemy.
00:31:44.000There are those of us who want to have the freedom to disagree and converse, and there are those of us, those over there, who want to shut everything down and impose kind of martial law in the realm of ideas.
00:31:54.000And I think we can all get together and say, you know, that guy in the choir, you know, who brings the air horn and a sheep and keeps rotating its hips slowly to make it sing, that guy's making us all sound bad.
00:32:04.000That guy's got to go so we can get back to some harmony and sing-offs or rap-offs or whatever.
00:32:10.000It is a multi-ethnic audience here, so I appreciate you injecting the rap, the hip-hop culture, because that's important for us to maintain our base.
00:32:40.000And he's, I'm like, he is from a, well, he's a half Jew who played a paraplegic in the Degrassi show who now, he's a butter soft bitch who now sounds like he's from Memphis.
00:32:51.000I'm like, how does this fakery get through the rap industry?
00:32:54.000As a Canadian, I can't get my hand around it.
00:32:56.000Poor people don't have access to Google.
00:33:16.000But over the last couple of years, I've had, I dare say, an evolution towards a massive and deep appreciation of not just my Christian heritage, but the West's Christian heritage.
00:33:26.000And I've actually found that I like Christians a lot more than atheists.
00:34:04.000Believe me, we've had to deal with this.
00:34:05.000So the fact that Christianity stands for a smaller state which allows people to pursue moral choices and get to heaven that way means that I'm far more in alignment with Christian ideals and Christian philosophy than I am with atheists who seem to want to get rid of God so that they can blow the state up to, like, biblical proportions.
00:34:22.000Well, you know, it's very interesting that you said, because I have seen that, and I've seen you talk about that, and I think it's very thoughtful.
00:34:28.000And the reason I brought it up is because, yeah, I think a lot of people...
00:34:30.000I mean, I've been on YouTube for a long time, and so most Christians on YouTube, I would say from probably about 2009 until 2015, we didn't really get a seat at the table to represent our own views.
00:34:41.000It was angry atheists who kind of dominated YouTube who would represent it for us.
00:34:44.000Like, they don't believe in evolution!
00:34:46.000We didn't get to say, hold on, hold on, that's not true.
00:34:55.000But I think you have a better grasp, I think, on probably sort of the fundamental concepts of Christianity than, like, not get Jared and I have talked about.
00:35:01.000Some social justice warrior Christians who take Christ, give unto Caesar what is, render unto Caesar what is Caesar's, as give it all to Caesar and do it by force.
00:35:10.000But it's interesting that we can find common ground there today because the left is, again, so intolerant.
00:35:16.000Christians and atheists kind of coming together just as free thinkers and And that just really interests me.
00:35:20.000I feel like that's been an acceleration in the last year and a half, two years, where atheists and Christians have found common ground against the left blob.
00:35:31.000It's one of the few religions that is primarily spread by the word and not by the sword, unlike some others.
00:35:36.000And so the fact that Christianity is a conversation has far more in common with philosophy.
00:35:42.000Then somebody who's an atheist who wishes to spread his ideas through the power of the state atheism to the degree that it aligns itself with state power is a coercive.
00:35:52.000uh, religion, uh, just as communism was a coercive religion, communism's traditional hatred for Christianity was the hatred of a self-directed conscience-based ethic that stood in the way of the expansion of state power.
00:36:05.000It was like, like how the, um, how the mafia would hate a cop, you know, well, the cop stands to the expansion, he stands against the expansion of the mafia.
00:36:13.000And so, uh, I find myself when it comes to my particular dedication, which is, you know, the non-aggression principle, personal property rights, self-ownership and so that dovetails very nicely.
00:36:23.000And to be honest, you know, I thought all of this stuff was original, but the more I looked in sort of my own history and my own heart, Steve, the more I realized that it came out of my Christian upbringing, this idea of the individual conscience that you don't run to the state, that you have conversations with people, that you reason with people as best you can and try and convince them to be good, rather than say, you've got to help the poor, and if you don't give me half your income, you're going to jail.
00:36:46.000And of course, I pillaged a lot of that and took pride in it.
00:36:48.000But the honest truth, when I sort of sat down and really thought about it, was if I hadn't been raised as a Christian, I don't really think I would have ended up with that starting place, if that makes sense.
00:37:10.000He's on the show, Professor Alec Ryrie, but he does talk specifically more so about Protestantism and of course the history of Martin Luther, where he wasn't just standing up so much against the church, if you look at actually kind of a political establishment of that day.
00:37:23.000And even going back to, you know, if you go into the Bible, the Pharisees and Sadducees, and he talked about how specifically Protestantism was founded on this idea of being deeply skeptical and questioning authority.
00:37:33.000And obviously when that turns into accept the church authority, that becomes a problem.
00:37:37.000But the way I was raised with Christian parents, they always encouraged me to, you know, I wasn't raised Catholic.
00:37:43.000It wasn't this person's word is divine or this person is infallible.
00:37:47.000Although I understand that relates only to spiritual issues.
00:37:49.000It was always, hey, listen, yeah, question anyone, anything you hear in church, question it, ask me questions.
00:37:55.000And I don't know that necessarily my Islamic friends or where I was in Montreal had that upbringing.
00:38:03.000Well, but this is the challenge, right?
00:38:05.000I mean, so skepticism, which was the foundation of the scientific method and so on, and skepticism also was the foundation of the Industrial Revolution, because sort of way back in the day, there was such a tight control under Catholicism of the economy.
00:38:18.000Believe it or not, there's these wild stories about if you were walking through a market, like in sort of 14th, 13th century and so on, if someone sneezed, Right.
00:38:37.000just a decent person to stop and say, bless you.
00:38:39.000And then you might fall into a conversation where the guy can sell you something.
00:38:43.000So sneezing was considered an unfair competitive practice, and you weren't allowed to do it.
00:39:11.000This is the new printing press, right?
00:39:13.000There was all of these texts that were held in private, in secret, in foreign languages, and you weren't allowed to read them for yourselves.
00:39:20.000And now, then with Luther translated the Bible to the vernacular so that people could read it and discuss for themselves and think for themselves and reason for themselves, give people access to the primary text, let them think properly, For themselves.
00:39:32.000Well, let people think for themselves is the foundation of the modern world.
00:39:37.000Stop being told what to think outside of government schools, the mainstream media, academia, etc., etc.
00:39:42.000And this is the new Protestant revolution, I think, what's going on on the Internet, where we can have these conversations directly plug into the minds of people with no intermediary, no censorship.
00:39:53.000And this, going back to the monetization issue, Stephen, this is what demonetization is supposed to do.
00:39:58.000It's supposed to get you to start self-censoring.
00:40:01.000Ooh, do I really want to spend three days researching and producing this video if it turns out I got a 50-50?
00:40:06.000So the soft censorship is the real problem and you just have to grit your teeth and drive through that.
00:40:11.000We'll find a way to flourish and survive because I think we have...
00:40:19.000Philosophy, thinking, conversations is a process.
00:40:22.000As long as we continue with the process passionately and with integrity and with honesty, I don't think there's anything that can stop us because there's no putting this genie back in the bottle.
00:41:00.000An important facet here that a lot of people gloss over, you know, atheists and Christians can respect and adhere to the same process and come to different conclusions.
00:41:09.000So I think it's actually pivotal that you said that, that the process is what matters.
00:41:12.000And again, then you have leftists who come in and go, oh, this is a process, and they toss it out, you know, with the aborted baby in a wastebasket.
00:41:17.000Listen, you've been a big President Trump, obviously, advocate, fan.
00:41:22.000The general consensus is the last couple weeks have been kind of tough.
00:41:36.000I just had a call-in show with this recently, and a guy called in, and he said, Oh, you know, I have problems with my girlfriend.
00:41:42.000She thinks that we want to have babies.
00:41:45.000She wants to have babies, and I never really wanted to have babies, blah-de-blah-de-blah, and she's bringing all this stuff up, and it's driving me crazy.
00:43:30.000Here's the issue here with Donald Trump.
00:43:31.000He's hanging his team out to dry by not having a cohesive message together, and it makes them look stupid or it makes them look incompetent when you have Kellyanne Conway going on saying, no, no sensitive information was discussed.
00:43:42.000Now, I'm not talking about classified information.
00:43:47.000But then when he tweets out, yes, I did discuss sensitive information, they need to get into a huddle and make sure they're on the same page because they give more validity to completely unsourced, completely unsubstantiated claims from the left by just giving them, I wouldn't even say an inch, they're giving them a foot and the left's going to take 10 miles.
00:44:05.000And I just wish you were a little more tactful.
00:44:07.000You know, you're relatively, I mean, Compared to Donald Trump, the sort of modicum of fame or notoriety that we have, right?
00:44:13.000But as someone who's a philosopher and seems interested in psychology, you've probably encountered – this is what I see as an issue as far as behavioral patterns.
00:44:20.000You've probably encountered people who already recognize you, right?
00:44:36.000Well, I think I have it on a bumper sticker somewhere.
00:44:38.000But you understand that these people, they interact with you, right?
00:44:41.000We would agree differently than people who've known you for a long time.
00:44:43.000Well, ever since Donald Trump has been of age to the point where he can understand money, every relationship he's ever had with someone has effectively been that.
00:44:50.000It's been a money relationship where people are, to some degree, enamored with him.
00:44:55.000And I think you see that sometimes in not having people around him who might criticize him, who might provide him with some valid criticism to correct, because we see him making some of these miscommunication mistakes in a row.
00:45:05.000And for us, that's kind of what we sat down and realized this week.
00:45:08.000Almost all of his relationships as an adult, since he's been old enough to have these adult relationships, have been with people beholden to him to some degree.
00:45:16.000And I do think that's a problem, and I hope they get some outsiders in there just so that they can get the story straight because it does get tough to follow.
00:45:24.000So he met with the Russians, and he talked about stuff that wasn't classified, and that's perfectly fine.
00:45:33.000I mean, there's nothing wrong with that.
00:45:35.000The interesting thing is that some of the information that was leaked to the mainstream media appears to be more classified.
00:45:40.000In other words, it was the people doing the leaking who may potentially have broached some classified topics, not Donald Trump in his meeting with the Russians.
00:45:56.000You know, the wall is of interest to a lot of people and this idea of like, well, did he say something untoward in some meeting with the Russians?
00:47:05.000We understand that with journalism, right?
00:47:07.000But when CNN and New York Times, when they're all unnamed sources, when they're all...
00:47:10.000Listen, if they want to take any kind of legal action, at some point a source is going to have to be revealed, and no one wants to stake their reputation on it.
00:47:29.000You know, if you had literally thousands and thousands and thousands of people combing over everything that you said and did, just trying to find something that they could get a shiv in through, that would be a pretty tough life to have, right?
00:47:43.000I mean, that would just be a very, very tough existence to sort of wend your way through.
00:47:48.000And so, is the left going to find some contradiction from here or there, was one thing said, and then another term was used...
00:48:27.000I think we need to try and drag people's attention away from this constant bat screeching, hysterical media and just get people back to the bigger issues.
00:48:35.000'Cause I'm concerned that some people as a whole are kind of feeding into and fanning the flames.
00:48:42.000I don't think the left has much of a point about anything.
00:48:44.000I do think this week they have some – not the left.
00:48:46.000I do think any – I think some detractors have some points, and I try and hear what their points are and say, okay, you know what, maybe you have a point there.
00:48:54.000I don't think – You know, for example, we can talk about it another time.
00:48:58.000But I don't think I'm fanning the flames or giving it more oxygen than Donald Trump's Twitter.
00:49:02.000I think if we want to give it less oxygen, I think just having a small meeting before going out there half-cocked with a tweet that contradicts his team, that's what I'm saying.
00:49:09.000I think we could fan the flames less if they were just a little bit tighter.
00:49:13.000Because the last thing you want to do is some slip-up.
00:49:15.000All of a sudden makes the Young Turks write about anything by accident.
00:49:41.000I sell a couple of books, but no merchandise and all that.
00:49:44.000So, yeah, if people want to support, of course, you know, like, subscribe, share, and so on.
00:49:47.000And, of course, I would recommend this for your show as well to anybody who listens to this from my side of the aisle.
00:49:52.000But, yeah, youtube.com slash freedomainradio or freedomainradio.com.
00:49:56.000And, you know, listen for a while, like, subscribe, share, the usual thing.
00:49:59.000Oh, by the way, I One last little story.
00:50:01.000So the other day, I heard this story about a kid who was a little two, three-year-old who was going to bed, going to bed, and he goes up the stairs and he says, please like, subscribe, and share.
00:50:10.000Because his parents had been watching so much YouTube that he thought that meant goodbye.
00:54:03.000For me, it's been great having been involved, having rheumatoid arthritis, having been involved with the Arthritis Foundation for over a decade now.
00:54:11.000It's been nice getting to tell my story and becoming, I like to say, a celebrity amongst the GIMP community.
00:54:17.000Really one of the breakout stars of it.
00:54:19.000Well, that was the last time you were on to cover that magazine.
00:54:27.000We apologize for previous cover model, Matt Eisman's comments.
00:54:30.000No, it's funny because I've said that and I say it in a loving way that we all struggle with joint pain and for some of us it's a little more severe.
00:54:40.000But That's the entire reason that I'm on the cover of that magazine.
00:54:45.000That's why I competed for Arthritis Foundation on Celebrity Apprentice.
00:54:49.000I think it's important for people to tell their stories, particularly for men and for guys who I'm still relatively young, not compared to you guys, but...
00:55:00.000For people who are out there who are suffering from this disease, it can be kind of isolating.
00:55:04.000I think it's important for people to know that there are others out there who have rheumatoid arthritis and are still leading full lives.
00:55:11.000I'm not competing on Ninja Warrior, but I talk about people who compete on Ninja Warrior.
00:55:15.000I was going to get your plug in there.
00:55:17.000At Matt Eisman on Twitter, host of American Ninja Warrior, and they have Celebrity Ninja Warrior coming up.
00:58:22.000I mean, my thing is, I just, I really do feel as though today the left is incapable of laughing at themselves.
00:58:25.000I mean, when you look at how much flack we'll get for Donald Trump jokes today, Samantha Bee, Seth Meyers, they are incapable of making jokes about whether it's Hillary Clinton, whether it's Nancy Pelosi, like when something is...
00:59:07.000I will tell you, with television, we've learned there are innumerable variables, and it's impossible to know what's going on.
00:59:14.000I think it is unfortunate, because I feel the same way, where you're starting to hear very much one side...
00:59:24.000I feel like when you look at the country, Trump, you know, it may not be 50%, but a lot of people supported the president and support these points of view.
00:59:40.000And I feel like to have it consistently be one side, you end up eliminating a lot of the audience.
00:59:43.000Speaking of one side, is it bright on one side or did you have a stroke?
00:59:46.000Because one of your eyes is repeatedly closing.
01:01:09.000Because it's everything should be, you know, when they did the episode with Muhammad and drawing Muhammad, I thought good for, you know, it's easy to think about the Christians and Jewish people.
01:01:22.000Yeah, Comedy Central came down on them and that was a thing.
01:06:06.000A big reason for that, too, is a lot of people are saying, well, you know, I just don't know if I want to pay the, you know, it ends up being five-something dollars a month.
01:06:13.000Especially, it's always challenging when we take an unpopular viewpoint and people get offended.
01:06:16.000You know, with the Trump thing, I can already see some tweets coming.
01:06:31.000Now that takes on a different angle depending on who's in charge of the country, because with Barack Obama, for his ideas to make it, for his legislation to be pushed forward, the country overall would have to do poorly in the long run.
01:06:44.000That's what I believe as far as socialism.
01:06:46.000But no matter who's at the tiller of the ship, I want to see the country do well.
01:06:49.000And the way the country does well is if we follow the same principles that made us a great country.
01:06:53.000Free enterprise, rugged individualism, personal responsibility, of course, morals and ethics, which a lot of people don't like to get into, but as Stefan Molyneux has talked about, that's a huge foundational principle of Western society.
01:10:08.000If nothing else, I am so glad that people have seen, because we talked about this for years.
01:10:12.000If you go back to our closing segment about two years ago, I would tell people, you know, don't so much watch just MSNBC because you know they have a bias.
01:10:21.000But what bothers me is CNN, is the bias by omission, is the lying and what they choose not to cover.
01:10:26.000And that's the problem with CNN. And you see it now.
01:10:28.000Now, everyone, basically, CNN and MSNBC are interchangeable.
01:10:32.000And we don't want to do that with this show where we choose not to make jokes about a topic just because, ooh, that could offend some people on the right or the left.
01:10:39.000I think that's about as good as you can do.
01:10:41.000I think it's as good as you can do in your personal life and as good as we can do with a show.
01:11:00.000I honestly, you know, CNN went out, or Walter Cronkite and Dan Rathers tried to act like my god journalists, and now we know that they're not.
01:11:05.000Well, there's never going to be a discovery where you go, did you know that Stephen is biased as a conservative?
01:11:18.000It's certainly a lot better than lying to yourself and lying to your audience as CNN and the New York Times have done for a long time.
01:11:25.000It's certainly better than lying to yourself and the people who pay you to keep them informed when you deliberately keep them in the dark if it doesn't set your narrative.
01:11:32.000I have much more respect for even a Rachel Maddow or even a Samantha Bee.
01:11:36.000Nah, not Samantha Bee, because she tries to claim that we're just going after comedy when she's not.
01:11:39.000She's a liberal Canadian socialist in the United States.
01:12:12.000Also, I'm going to tell wiener jokes because I find them funny.
01:12:16.000I think you need to do that with anyone out there.
01:12:18.000If you think that's the wrong approach, if you think people, human beings, are capable of being objective, truly objective, without any biases, tweet me at S. Crowder.
01:12:29.000I don't necessarily know that it's possible, and I don't necessarily know that it's a virtue to try and act as though it is.
01:12:36.000I don't think it's an honest approach.
01:12:38.000And I think that what we do with this show is also how we try and approach our life, except when it comes to rompers.
01:12:45.000In that case, it's just an embarrassment all around, and everyone should feel great shame, as you should if you wear them in your daily life.
