Louder with Crowder - #171 OMG TRUMP IMPEACHMENT?!?! Stefan Molyneux | Louder With Crowder

00:00:00.000 - - Tell me about Bug Club!

00:00:07.000 Why did he still operate on YouTube?

00:00:10.000 A lot of free content for a premium service!

00:00:14.000 Or perhaps you should ask why they need to create a paid service.

00:00:18.000 If YouTube kept its word in the first place...

00:00:22.000 At least you can talk!

00:00:24.000 Who are you?

00:00:25.000 It doesn't matter who Mug Club is. 0.73

00:00:28.000 What matters is our plan.

00:00:31.000 No one cared who Muck Club was until I put on the makeup. 0.93

00:00:35.000 YouTube just bans your channel! 0.98

00:00:37.000 Will you and Muck Club just die?

00:00:40.000 It would be extremely painful. 1.00

00:00:42.000 You seem like a big tranny. 1.00

00:00:44.000 For you. 0.97

00:00:47.000 Was getting flagged part of your plan?

00:00:49.000 Of course.

00:00:53.000 YouTube opted to demonetize our channel.

00:00:57.000 In favor of the Young Turks. 0.95

00:00:59.000 Well, congratulations!

00:01:01.000 You got caught!

00:01:02.000 So that's the next step of your master plan!

00:01:05.000 Well, you're flagging only to awareness to your authoritarian practices on YouTube.

00:01:12.000 My Club was created for the people to join and support authentic creator-generated content.

00:02:44.000 I can't even speak clearly.

00:02:45.000 It's getting to my brain.

00:02:46.000 Draw your own conclusions.

00:02:47.000 Are we good?

00:02:48.000 No.

00:02:49.000 Go on.

00:02:49.000 At G. Morgan Jr.

00:02:50.000 He picked that outfit.

00:02:52.000 Woo! 0.99

00:02:54.000 Hey, by the way, before we get to anything else, next week is going to be the free seven-day trial for those on YouTube.

00:02:59.000 Watching this on YouTube right now, people who are not Mug Club members, we do the daily show.

00:03:03.000 A lot of people are saying, well, I want to try it, but I can't be bothered to go off-site.

00:03:08.000 Because there is a seven-day free trial over there.

00:03:10.000 If you go to lottoscreditor.com slash Mug Club or CRTV, but we are going to do seven full, well, sorry, seven.

00:03:14.000 Next week, Monday through Friday, all the episodes will be free.

00:03:17.000 Because we care.

00:03:18.000 Because we care.

00:03:19.000 About the cheapskates.

00:03:20.000 Yes, exactly.

00:03:21.000 And because YouTube is trying to squeeze us out, so you don't know what you're missing.

00:03:24.000 Great guest today, Stefan Molyneux.

00:03:25.000 Yep.

00:03:26.000 Molyneux, but I'll say it the right wrong way.

00:03:28.000 And we have Matt Eisman.

00:03:30.000 So we're our most requested guests.

00:03:31.000 Yes, we're excited.

00:03:33.000 And we'll be talking about the Trump-Comey situation.

00:03:34.000 Russia, 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.

00:03:44.000 No.

00:03:45.000 And we'll get into that in a minute.

00:03:46.000 So, in other news, 40,000.

00:03:49.000 Illegal 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.

00:04:03.000 That's awesome.

00:04:04.000 This is the silver lining.

00:04:06.000 Yes, this is the sliver of hope.

00:04:08.000 A special investigator was tasked with rooting out and finding the illegal aliens, or as it's more commonly known, Googling Home Depot.

00:04:17.000 That's...

00:04:20.000 Bing will do in a pinch.

00:04:21.000 That's entreatment.

00:04:23.000 This is another, I swear to you, true story.

00:04:25.000 Cyclops' one-eyed goat.

00:04:27.000 This goat was born in India, and, well, let's roll the clip so you know it's real. 1.00

00:04:32.000 Six days ago, on this farm in India, there was a very rare birth.

00:04:37.000 A one-eyed goat.

00:04:40.000 The condition which causes this is called Cyclops.

00:04:44.000 And this is true.

00:04:46.000 Indian villagers started worshipping the goat because they see it as a deity.

00:04:51.000 That sounds familiar, by the way.

00:04:52.000 I've heard that sound before.

00:04:55.000 I've just...

00:04:58.000 That's it.

00:04:59.000 That's what it was.

00:05:00.000 It's either Krishna incarnated or it's David Bao.

00:05:05.000 Dr.

00:05:05.000 David Bao.

00:05:06.000 They think he is a deity incarnate. 0.99

00:05:09.000 When asked for comment regarding being a deity incarnate, the one-eyed goat shit himself and ran into a fence post repeatedly. 0.98

00:05:16.000 But these two villagers are holding out hope that this is a sign of the ultimate fulfillment of prophecy yet to come. 1.00

00:05:23.000 The goat with two assholes. 1.00

00:05:26.000 Fingers crossed. 1.00

00:05:29.000 And I give the sign on to you, he shall be called Wrigley.

00:05:33.000 Double the pleasure.

00:05:34.000 So, a company came up, an English company?

00:05:38.000 Is it English or Japanese?

00:05:39.000 Sounds Japanese.

00:05:39.000 I don't know, it sounds Japanese.

00:05:41.000 They have created, and will begin to sell, the world's first talking sex doll. 0.97

00:05:48.000 Oh, jeez. 0.96

00:05:49.000 Because that's why people buy weird sex dolls. 1.00

00:05:52.000 I want some lip. 0.93

00:05:55.000 The inventor has also claimed that this sex doll will have 18 personalities. 0.97

00:06:00.000 18 personalities. 0.99

00:06:01.000 That's to fulfill the long-standing fantasy of screwing James McAvoy from Split.

00:06:05.000 Apparently people really want 18 personalities, also known as Every Girl After Tequila. 1.00

00:06:11.000 That's true.

00:06:15.000 I don't get the points.

00:06:16.000 It's like 10 grand, too.

00:06:17.000 I know.

00:06:17.000 It's not cheap.

00:06:18.000 And 18 personalities for a small, phenomenal upgrade fee, you can actually get the doll to stalk you and boil your kid's pet rabbit.

00:06:24.000 So that's...

00:06:25.000 A worthy upgrade.

00:06:27.000 Yeah.

00:06:27.000 By the way, there's a software update immediately released on getting it to shut the hell up.

00:06:31.000 That was the first.

00:06:32.000 It's iOS.

00:06:35.000 Don't ignore that one.

00:06:36.000 Star Trek!

00:06:38.000 This is also in the new Star Trek series.

00:06:41.000 If Star Trek were playing on a jumbotron in my backyard, I wouldn't lift the shade.

00:06:45.000 This is a new series that's going to be released.

00:06:47.000 It's the sixth incarnation of Star Trek.

00:06:49.000 It's already being titled Star Trek Discovery.

00:06:53.000 That's what they've rested on.

00:06:55.000 Not on the list of anticipated discoveries.

00:06:57.000 Sex with Not Your Hand.

00:07:01.000 To be followed by Star Trek 7, Leaving Mom's Basement. 0.99

00:07:04.000 Star Trek 8, Talking Sex Doll.

00:07:07.000 You saved up.

00:07:08.000 You made hits.

00:07:09.000 Okay.

00:07:10.000 Trump, this is the situation this week.

00:07:12.000 So we did a timeline earlier.

00:07:13.000 This is what everyone wants.

00:07:14.000 And by the way, we have a bet going.

00:07:16.000 The Vegas betting odds have put Donald Trump's chances of being impeached in his first term at 60%.

00:07:20.000 Yeah.

00:07:21.000 So, what do you think?

00:07:23.000 This isn't fake news.

00:07:24.000 This is the vaguest betting odds.

00:07:26.000 Like we said yesterday, money has a way of making people bring out corruption and honesty.

00:07:29.000 It could also be brutally honest.

00:07:31.000 Yes.

00:07:31.000 I mean, the guy's not going to fall on us.

00:07:32.000 The guy's not going to just, well, I hate Donald Trump, so I'm going to...

00:07:35.000 He's going to create a bet where he can't possibly win money.

00:07:39.000 I thought that's the first time there has been a greater chance of him being impeached, those betting odds right now.

00:07:43.000 What do you think?

00:07:44.000 We'll place our own bet.

00:07:46.000 So, we'll bet.

00:07:47.000 What do you bet?

00:07:47.000 Do you think Donald Trump was impeached first term?

00:07:49.000 So, it's...

00:07:50.000 He's giving the odds on it?

00:07:51.000 Yeah, 60% odds that he will.

00:07:53.000 No.

00:07:54.000 No?

00:07:54.000 I'll take that money every day.

00:07:55.000 Okay.

00:07:55.000 Yeah, I don't think he'll be impeached either.

00:07:57.000 I bet no.

00:07:58.000 Edward the Sound Guy bets no.

00:07:59.000 Not Gay Jared? 0.91

00:08:00.000 I think...

00:08:01.000 I don't think he'll be impeached.

00:08:03.000 I would bet he'll resign.

00:08:05.000 Resign?

00:08:06.000 You bet he'll resign.

00:08:07.000 I would bet he will.

00:08:07.000 The last thing he would do is resign.

00:08:09.000 And if you lose the bet.

00:08:09.000 No.

00:08:10.000 He was signed for two marriages already.

00:08:12.000 I don't want to put it past him, dude.

00:08:14.000 Yeah, but everybody does that.

00:08:15.000 If he resigns, it's admitting that he was wrong.

00:08:17.000 Okay, whoever loses the bet has to walk down a crowded street in their mani-panties.

00:08:21.000 For those who don't know, when we do nude scenes at Lauder with Crowder, we wear many panties so it looks like we're nude.

00:08:26.000 Define crowded.

00:08:27.000 As crowded as we can find it.

00:08:28.000 Oh, jeez.

00:08:29.000 Alright, so let's give you a timeline for those who missed it.

00:08:31.000 Some people will say, can you just compile this because it's hard to make sense of it, I understand.

00:08:34.000 May 9th, Donald Trump fires Comey.

00:08:36.000 Okay, so that was people were saying, well, this is clearly trying to obstruct justice with the FBI investigation in Russia.

00:08:42.000 Okay, that's not necessarily the case.

00:08:44.000 Then Trump meets with the Russians, okay, and he was accused of leaking classified information.

00:08:51.000 His team goes out and says, well, he didn't leak classified information.

00:08:53.000 He didn't even address sensitive information.

00:08:55.000 Donald Trump tweets out that he did discuss sensitive information.

00:08:58.000 Not classified information.

00:08:59.000 That's important because one is a legal term.

00:09:01.000 By the way, he's a president.

00:09:02.000 He can declassify whatever he wants.

00:09:04.000 And one is just you probably shouldn't discuss issues that relate to national security with the Russians.

00:09:09.000 Then, of course, what happened is Trump asked Comey.

00:09:12.000 You can get rid of the prompter, by the way.

00:09:13.000 Trump asked Comey for the Flynn investigation to end.

00:09:17.000 That's alleged.

00:09:18.000 That's a memo.

00:09:19.000 And they wrote about that in the New York Times.

00:09:20.000 And then, of course, now there's a special counsel for the Russia investigation.

00:09:22.000 A couple of things here.

00:09:25.000 I do think that this is showing us some leadership flaws with Donald Trump.

00:09:30.000 Has he broken the law?

00:09:31.000 It does not seem that way.

00:09:33.000 But he is not being cohesive with his message.

00:09:36.000 He's sending them out with talking points, and then he's contradicting them.

00:09:38.000 I feel bad for Sean Spicer.

00:09:40.000 I feel bad for Kellyanne Conway. 1.00

00:09:41.000 I used to think Sean Spicer was an idiot. 1.00

00:09:43.000 I just don't. 1.00

00:09:43.000 I think he has an impossible job. 1.00

00:09:45.000 Yeah.

00:09:46.000 So, the problem is he can make leftists right just by making these constant mistakes.

00:09:52.000 On the flip side, you know, there was a fight on CNN about this.

00:09:55.000 When 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.

00:10:05.000 Yeah.

00:10:05.000 So, what the left does is they just, anonymous, we heard this, do you deny the allegations?

00:10:11.000 That really bothers me.

00:10:12.000 What also bothers me is Donald Trump not just having a team huddle before he goes on Twitter and completely contradicts his national security advisors.

00:10:20.000 What do you think?

00:10:21.000 How bad has this been for Donald Trump?

00:10:24.000 Yeah.

00:10:29.000 sources, by the way, were two former people associated with this.

00:10:32.000 They're not people that are currently in the deal.

00:10:34.000 So I'm just like, come on, how reliable is this?

00:10:35.000 And then for her to get up and yell like that at this guy saying, well, who are the sources?

00:10:39.000 That's a reasonable question.

00:10:40.000 Yeah.

00:10:41.000 So I don't think anything's going to come of it though.

00:10:43.000 I really don't.

00:10:43.000 Well, I mean, what were you saying, Jerry?

00:10:45.000 You were saying he's kind of running the government as he ran his business.

00:10:49.000 Now, there's nothing wrong with...

00:10:50.000 I think it's better to run the government like a business than a non-profit as a community organizer from Chicago did.

00:10:55.000 We were talking about this yesterday.

00:10:57.000 He's never...

00:10:59.000 He's handling this exactly how you expect Donald Trump and his businesses to handle running an office.

00:11:05.000 And everything's favors for favors.

00:11:07.000 It's fine when you're skirting the law in your own business and being kind of, you know...

00:11:07.000 He doesn't really...

00:11:11.000 Yeah, that is true. 0.81

00:11:12.000 Dishonest.

00:11:13.000 But it's a whole different thing when, you know, allegations of obstruction of justice are coming forward.

00:11:17.000 And that's a whole different thing.

00:11:18.000 They're running a business saying, you can't scratch your mind for yours to get you out of obstruction of justice. 0.91

00:11:23.000 I don't think he's been obstructing justice.

00:11:24.000 What I do think is this has shown that before the end of his term, he is a liability.

00:11:29.000 He's a liability because he doesn't think before he speaks.

00:11:31.000 And 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.

00:11:41.000 He can buy or sell people.

00:11:43.000 They're going to do what I like because I pay their salary.

00:11:45.000 Same with his administration.

00:11:46.000 You're seeing him fire people if they criticize him.

00:11:49.000 You're seeing him fire people just because he doesn't like them.

00:11:51.000 He's using them politically.

00:11:52.000 I don't think he's used to having adult relationships with people who are his equal because he's always had a leg up.

00:11:57.000 Now, there's nothing wrong with being born into wealth.

00:12:00.000 But I do think, you know, listen.

00:12:03.000 What really worries me is they're going to say it's his lack of experience.

00:12:06.000 I think someone can go into office as a business person with lack of experience.

00:12:10.000 But 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.

00:12:24.000 It's a different business model.

00:12:26.000 Remember when people criticized Mitt Romney because they were saying, oh, he's baby capital.

00:12:29.000 That's different.

00:12:30.000 All he does is go in and gut these businesses and make them more profitable.

00:12:33.000 Well, that's kind of what we needed with government, someone who had that kind of business experience.

00:12:37.000 And the kind of business experience Donald Trump has, you can see him trying to run government that way.

00:12:42.000 And I hope he takes some advice from people who can help him.

00:12:45.000 And I think there's a problem right now if people say, oh, he's not joining the swamp.

00:12:51.000 Like with Comey, he just fired him in much of a way, the same kind of fashion he would have fired an employee that was not.

00:12:58.000 In much the same way you would have fired an employee who refused to toe the line.

00:13:08.000 He didn't do it in a way that...

00:13:10.000 This is an independent FBI director of the United States. 0.91

00:13:14.000 He was a douche businessman. 0.84

00:13:14.000 He's now becoming a little bit of a douchey president. 0.84

00:13:16.000 Are we surprised?

00:13:16.000 Well, he did it in a way that wasn't even consistent with what he told his team to tell the press.

00:13:20.000 I agree.

00:13:20.000 They were like, well, no, this letter was written.

00:13:22.000 He's like, ah, screw the letter.

00:13:22.000 I was going to fire him anyway.

00:13:23.000 I didn't like him.

00:13:24.000 And it's just like, you know...

00:13:25.000 Again, a leader should make the people who follow him look better.

00:13:29.000 He should make them look smarter than they are.

00:13:31.000 He should want to elevate the people who work for him more than himself.

00:13:33.000 That's what a good leader does.

00:13:35.000 And so he's not obstructing justice.

00:13:37.000 I want to see the guy do well, but I think for the guy to do well, he needs to stop giving these gifts to the left.

00:13:41.000 And I would like to see him elevate his team as opposed to shifting them around when they do something he doesn't like.

00:13:46.000 Do you think he knew he wasn't under investigation by the FBI? Yeah, I think...

00:13:50.000 Do you think he knows the difference?

00:13:52.000 Yeah, I do.

00:13:53.000 I think he knows the difference.

00:13:55.000 I don't think Donald Trump's unintelligent.

00:13:56.000 I don't think he's super intelligent.

00:13:57.000 I think he's of average intelligence.

00:13:59.000 And I think he's out of touch because of the life that he's lived.

00:14:01.000 And I think that you're seeing...

00:14:03.000 Yeah, and you're seeing some of those consequences.

00:14:05.000 And I think the media is...

00:14:06.000 This is a big witch hunt.

00:14:08.000 It's completely a liability.

00:14:11.000 So it's just not a good situation.

00:14:14.000 It's complicated because you come from Barack Obama where the media swept everything under the rug.

00:14:19.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:14:20.000 And the contrast makes it so much worse than...

00:14:22.000 Yes.

00:14:23.000 And 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.

00:14:32.000 So I understand those dynamics.

00:14:34.000 And it's just been an exhausting week.

00:14:36.000 Speaking of which, okay, Planned Parenthood has a new video out.

00:14:40.000 At the tiller of this advertisement.

00:14:42.000 You know, it's one of those things where you wouldn't realize until you...

00:14:44.000 Hold on a second.

00:14:45.000 I'm watching this.

00:14:45.000 This is evil.

00:14:47.000 You're watching a PSA for Planned Parenthood, and then you realize what they're promoting is evil.

00:14:51.000 Joss Whedon, Avengers fame.

00:14:51.000 Josh...

00:14:53.000 I guess going back to Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

00:14:55.000 Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

00:14:56.000 I like that.

00:14:57.000 Directed, wrote, I don't know, created this Planned Parenthood spot that people are praising.

00:15:02.000 Let's go through it and see just why.

00:15:06.000 So here we lead off...

00:15:09.000 Dramatic music.

00:15:11.000 Sounds just like a movie.

00:15:12.000 Well produced.

00:15:13.000 Sounds just like a motion picture.

00:15:14.000 It's a reverse tier.

00:15:15.000 Tears.

00:15:16.000 It's a reverse tier.

00:15:17.000 Screwed me up.

00:15:17.000 So you're seeing right now everything is occurring in reverse.

00:15:20.000 This is the theme of the advertisement for Planned Parenthood.

00:15:23.000 Very bad. - I'm sorry.

00:15:33.000 So it looks like they're talking about breast cancer.

00:15:35.000 We'll come back to that in a minute. 0.93

00:15:38.000 Right away, no shame in painting black Americans in a negative light. 1.00

00:15:42.000 Apparently Joss Whedon.

00:15:43.000 Planned Parenthood.

00:15:44.000 Planned Parenthood.

00:15:45.000 That's what they've been doing since the beginning of time. 1.00

00:15:46.000 Margaret Sager thought that they were stupid. 1.00

00:15:48.000 Thought that they were less, I guess, less evolved human beings. 1.00

00:15:52.000 If you look at some of her writing, she believed in eugenics.

00:15:54.000 That's one thing, too.

00:15:54.000 My wife works at a crisis pregnancy center.

00:15:57.000 Everyone who comes in in 2017 knows about birth control.

00:15:59.000 So before they get to the whole birth control thing, no one buys that, okay?

00:16:03.000 A lot of people who come in, Just didn't want to use it.

00:16:06.000 That's it.

00:16:07.000 She's like, nine times out of ten, that's what it is.

00:16:09.000 She has yet to see someone who didn't know that you could get condoms for 25 cents at a truck stop.

00:16:15.000 So that's important to note here with Planned Parenthood because this is their constant argument.

00:16:19.000 I 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.

00:16:24.000 And now they just say, well, black Americans don't know.

00:16:26.000 How? 0.99

00:16:27.000 How uneducated, how ignorant must you think black Americans are to say that in 2017 they don't know about birth control? 0.99

00:16:34.000 This is a soft racism of life. 1.00

00:16:36.000 Yeah, soft racism.

00:16:37.000 By low expectations.

00:16:38.000 Alright, let's keep going with this advertisement as though it's going really well.

00:16:43.000 More reverse.

00:16:46.000 Oh, scholarship.

00:16:47.000 Can't let a human life get in the way of that.

00:16:51.000 You have women's studies to get to. 1.00

00:16:53.000 Oh, hold your regret.

00:16:54.000 Hold your regret.

00:16:59.000 So, again, this is a clear-cut example that abortion is sacrifice at the altar of self.

00:17:08.000 We've talked about it.

00:17:09.000 This commercial is making it compassionate and beautiful.

00:17:11.000 My scholarship!

00:17:13.000 As she holds a living being. 0.99

00:17:15.000 But if we go in reverse, you can kill it! 1.00

00:17:17.000 You can kill it! 1.00

00:17:18.000 Let's continue with this advertisement. 1.00

00:17:24.000 See, the problems would be solved if they walked through the doors at Planned Parenthood.

00:17:28.000 Look, sex education. 1.00

00:17:30.000 For those who don't have Bing.

00:17:35.000 Really?

00:17:35.000 I didn't even know.

00:17:36.000 I was having sex.

00:17:37.000 I never even heard about birth control.

00:17:39.000 Thank you, Planned Parenthood.

00:17:40.000 Oh, look.

00:17:40.000 I love this, by the way.

00:17:41.000 Look at this.

00:17:42.000 They gloss over that.

00:17:44.000 They show the black woman with a rag over her.

00:17:47.000 They go back to her?

00:17:48.000 Yeah, I think they come back to it.

00:17:49.000 Do they?

00:17:52.000 Hold on a second.

00:17:54.000 She's going to school. 0.75

00:17:55.000 We're so proud of our little murderer.

00:17:58.000 They don't go back to it.

00:17:59.000 Alright, that's enough.

00:18:00.000 So 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.

00:18:06.000 Yeah, by the way, we have more employees, and Planned Parenthood has mammogram machines.

00:18:10.000 That's true.

00:18:10.000 They cannot provide adequate breast cancer screenings.

00:18:14.000 When you say Planned Parenthood doesn't provide mammograms, they go, oh, it's this right wing.

00:18:16.000 Nope, nope.

00:18:17.000 They never have.

00:18:18.000 They cannot provide mammograms.

00:18:20.000 Period.

00:18:21.000 Period. 0.95

00:18:22.000 No one told that black woman that. 1.00

00:18:23.000 No! 0.92

00:18:25.000 What would it touch you?

00:18:26.000 Come on, don't spoil it.

00:18:27.000 Yeah, she's still playing apparently in this video. 0.98

00:18:29.000 So, just the dishonesty.

00:18:31.000 Here's the deal, too.

00:18:31.000 My wife works at a crisis pregnancy center, okay?

00:18:34.000 People come in.

00:18:35.000 There's not Planned Parenthood.

00:18:36.000 And, yep, I will tell you, full disclosure, it is more of a faith-based crisis pregnancy center.

00:18:41.000 They do provide birth control.

00:18:42.000 They provide sex education.

00:18:43.000 But 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.

00:18:50.000 They do all of it.

00:18:51.000 And they very often find that women go in there with the idea of abortion and can be very easily convinced to not do so.

00:18:57.000 As a matter of fact, they're often pressured by a boyfriend.

00:18:59.000 The 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.

00:19:04.000 And very often they are encouraged to either keep the baby, give it up for adoption, and more of these women leave, go to school. 1.00

00:19:11.000 They're actually inspired.

00:19:12.000 Planned Parenthood's Yeah.

00:19:21.000 where she works to get them to provide this baby for adoption. 1.00

00:19:24.000 By the way, there are foster parents.

00:19:25.000 There are parents right now lined up who are trying to get kids and who can't. 0.99

00:19:28.000 Planned Parenthood is just as incentivized to get them to kill their baby. 0.99

00:19:34.000 So 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.

00:19:45.000 How is that not evil?

00:19:47.000 It's absolutely evil.

00:19:49.000 And they don't do anything good.

00:19:51.000 They just basically scar women for life. 1.00

00:19:52.000 The girl that walked into the college scene after that, she had the abortion. 1.00

00:19:55.000 Oh, good.

00:19:55.000 Let's see how that works out in the next few years.

00:19:57.000 And then I got a PhD in social studies!

00:20:01.000 Ahhhh! 0.99

00:20:03.000 But here's the thing.

00:20:04.000 They go with the cinematic feel, so it's okay.

00:20:07.000 They were dead set.

00:20:08.000 If you look at the articles, they were dead set.

00:20:09.000 They wanted to make it look like a film.

00:20:11.000 They were really married to the idea of a film producer from film, not television.

00:20:18.000 To pull on the heartstrings.

00:20:19.000 Yeah, to pull on the heartstrings, which is interesting because actually they went with Joss Whedon, but they had another direction with taking a filmmaker.

00:20:25.000 Well, the first filmmaker screen test was almost as tasteful.

00:20:34.000 Bye bye baby, I'll just abort you so. 0.69

00:20:42.000 Bye bye baby, you just had to go. 0.76

00:20:54.000 No consequence.

00:20:57.000 I'll just toss you away. 0.99

00:21:01.000 Bye bye baby. 1.00

00:21:06.000 Throw you in the waste. 1.00

00:21:09.000 No responsibility. 0.99

00:21:11.000 I only think of me.

00:21:13.000 And just because I can, I'll abort my baby.

00:21:19.000 Bye bye baby It must seem so unfair Bye bye baby It's just I don't care What a lead.

00:21:47.000 and Stefan Molyneux coming up next than Matt Eisman.

00:21:49.000 We'll be right back.

00:22:19.000 We'll be right back.

00:22:49.000 We'll be right back.

00:23:19.000 We'll be right back.

00:23:42.000 All right.

00:23:43.000 Glad to have our next guest.

00:23:45.000 Nothing has done well today with this.

00:23:47.000 Actually, Pogo.

00:23:48.000 Pogo is a fan of this.

00:23:49.000 I think when he was on the show, he talked about him.

00:23:51.000 One of the most requested guests.

00:23:53.000 Here's the backstory.

00:23:54.000 I thought for sure he would never come on the show.

00:23:56.000 I didn't, because I thought, when we first started the show, remember we would send out requests and everyone said no?

00:24:00.000 Yeah.

00:24:02.000 He did say no when we were starting.

00:24:04.000 A long time ago.

00:24:04.000 Including me, just coming to work.

00:24:05.000 And then we saw that he's a secret member of the Mug Club. 0.93

00:24:09.000 And I followed him for a while.

00:24:11.000 Pogo likes him.

00:24:12.000 People have requested him.

00:24:12.000 There we go.

00:24:14.000 Irish by way of Canada.

00:24:16.000 Stefan Molyneux.

00:24:17.000 Stefan Molyneux.

00:24:17.000 You can follow all...

00:24:19.000 You can follow us up at freedomainradio.com.

00:24:21.000 Did I get that right, Stefan?

00:24:22.000 That's, you know, as far as an American goes, that is a fairly good thwack at the French syllables.

00:24:27.000 And I, you know, given the very intimidating T-shirt you have on, I'm just going to say, that was perfect, my friend.

00:24:33.000 Thank you.

00:24:33.000 Good job.

00:24:34.000 Well, it's Stéphane Molyneux.

00:24:35.000 I can say it, but I was in Montreal.

00:24:37.000 Do you find this in the United States?

00:24:39.000 You try and say it the right, wrong way when saying something in French?

00:24:43.000 Like, lingerie is not a French word.

00:24:46.000 So I'm like, lingerie?

00:24:49.000 The first time I read it?

00:24:51.000 And they're like, what are you talking about?

00:24:52.000 You mean lingerie?

00:24:53.000 It's like, oh, that's how you say it.

00:24:55.000 Okay.

00:24:56.000 Well, so the other day I did a show where I was mentioning, what's the French phrase for déjà vu again or something like that?

00:25:01.000 And of course a whole bunch of helpful commenters said, you know, that is French.

00:25:04.000 I just wanted to help you out with that.

00:25:07.000 Steve Martin, he said, he has a certain, I don't know what.

00:25:11.000 I don't know what.

00:25:13.000 So, uh, and there was a guy actually, David Pride, where he talked about people using French words that they were erotic.

00:25:18.000 He was like, you know, people say, you know, I like sleeping au naturel.

00:25:22.000 Do you think that anyone in Paris right now is saying, oui, moi j'aime dormir boc naked?

00:25:29.000 Doesn't have the same, uh, same effect.

00:25:31.000 But why a French name if you're Irish?

00:25:34.000 Well, this goes way back.

00:25:35.000 So my family originally came over with William the Conqueror in 1066 in the Battle of Hastings.

00:25:41.000 My understanding is that we were fairly alpha to a bunch of half-starving Irish peasants, ended up being awarded some land. 0.86

00:25:49.000 And 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.

00:25:58.000 And thus we were cast forward into the world to make our way among the normies.

00:26:03.000 And so far I actually think it was a very, very good change on the family tree.

00:26:07.000 Yeah, well, he's what we would call an outlier for an Irishman. 1.00

00:26:13.000 So, okay, so I'm really glad to have you on the show.

00:26:15.000 Obviously, you're a big presence on YouTube.

00:26:18.000 Everyone's been talking about this.

00:26:20.000 We'll get into kind of some Trump issues later, topical stuff.

00:26:22.000 But YouTube, the demonetization scandal, I guess it's going on.

00:26:26.000 You've been on top of this.

00:26:28.000 What's your take on it?

00:26:29.000 Because we've tried to express the nuance with our audience.

00:26:32.000 YouTube is free to do whatever they want.

00:26:34.000 But they are changing the game on content creators who help build the site.

00:26:38.000 And that's my issue with them.

00:26:41.000 I 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?

00:26:46.000 So 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.

00:26:52.000 And I've seen people, you know, big famous YouTube guys, they're posting like 90% reduction, 95%.

00:26:58.000 I 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.

00:27:05.000 So like the Grinch with hooks and some wire, yeah.

00:27:08.000 Yeah.

00:27:09.000 We'll be doing the show outside from now on because nature's lighting is better.

00:27:13.000 And so I think that it's really, really tough for the people who've got that kind of stuff.

00:27:13.000 Yes, exactly.

00:27:17.000 On 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.

00:27:24.000 I 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.

00:27:31.000 That is a confession of weakness.

00:27:32.000 There is a fight for Western civilization, which I also like to call civilization, which And it's not going to be pretty.

00:27:39.000 I 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. 0.95

00:27:46.000 If 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. 0.98

00:27:53.000 I love the fact that we're getting leaner and meaner while they're getting fatter and lazier. 0.98

00:27:57.000 Yeah, 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.

00:28:02.000 They'd say, well, I hope my opponent is a, I hope he's the best Anderson Silva I've ever fought.

00:28:06.000 And Chael Sonnen would go, why would I say it?

00:28:09.000 Why do I want to fight the best Anderson? 1.00

00:28:10.000 I want to fight a sickly, ill-prepared, underserved, undercoached Anderson Silva, kick his ass and go home without a scratch. 0.99

00:28:18.000 That's how I feel about YouTube. 1.00

00:28:21.000 It's interesting that you say the left, because we had Karen Strawn.

00:28:23.000 Some people are saying, well, it's not a political issue.

00:28:25.000 And you can tell me what your take is on it.

00:28:28.000 Now, I understand there are people...

00:28:29.000 Gosh, what's his name?

00:28:30.000 I forgot his name.

00:28:31.000 Pat...

00:28:33.000 Patrick Moore?

00:28:35.000 Pac-Man is his nickname.

00:28:35.000 No, no, no.

00:28:35.000 Pac-Man.

00:28:37.000 I don't know.

00:28:37.000 I guess he's a liberal.

00:28:38.000 And he was demonetized.

00:28:40.000 Now, I do think that this has affected some liberal channels that take on controversial subjects.

00:28:45.000 I'm willing to acknowledge that.

00:28:46.000 But if you look at their active support, YouTube's active support of the Young Turks and Samantha Bee and Trevor Noah...

00:28:52.000 I 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.

00:29:01.000 I mean, you can't find one.

00:29:02.000 So I do think it's a combination of both, but they don't want right-wingers to have a seat at the table.

00:29:06.000 Do you think that's ill-founded or have you seen that?

00:29:09.000 Oh, non-leftists own YouTube.

00:29:12.000 I mean, it's our domain.

00:29:13.000 It's our hood.

00:29:14.000 We own this particular platform, and they've managed to transcend any kind of objectivity with regards to Facebook and Twitter and other platforms.

00:29:22.000 So yeah, this is our neck of the woods.

00:29:24.000 Now, I think that what they've done in the attempt to appear more fair is they've obviously demonetized controversial stuff as a whole.

00:29:32.000 But the problem is, of course, as you know, Stephen, leftist stuff is generally mainstream these days.

00:29:36.000 And so if you're going to start hitting controversial stuff, you're going to disproportionately hit non-leftist.

00:29:42.000 And, 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.

00:29:51.000 And so the mainstream media is monetized and is available in searches and is promoted.

00:29:55.000 But they're generally on the left as well.

00:29:57.000 I mean, the last holdout was Fox, and it looks like they're crumbling now as well.

00:30:01.000 So 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.

00:30:07.000 Oh, I think so, especially with the moving goalposts, right, with what's considered offensive.

00:30:11.000 The truth is, right now, if you believe that you are born biologically a male or female, that's considered offensive.

00:30:15.000 That can be filed as hate speech, and you're not going to find leftists who say that.

00:30:19.000 Which brings me kind of to a point.

00:30:20.000 Now, I know you and I would disagree on probably a multitude of issues, probably 50-50, where we'd agree and disagree.

00:30:25.000 Probably, I would say, maybe a few years ago, we would not be talking as much.

00:30:29.000 We'd probably be seen as more so on opposite sides of the fence.

00:30:32.000 Do 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.

00:30:53.000 Well, all I want is for the conversation to continue.

00:30:56.000 The 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.

00:31:09.000 And of course, I'm talking about the allegorical sword and all that, but I just want the conversation to continue.

00:31:13.000 You've been flagged.

00:31:14.000 When 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.

00:31:27.000 You know, I've chatted with liberals on this show, people on the left on this show.

00:31:30.000 Wherever there's a civilized conversation, man, I'm there.

00:31:33.000 I'm in, like Flynn.

00:31:35.000 But when you have people who want to pull fire alarms, who want to stop speakers from coming to campuses, publicly funded, publicly funded, Yeah.

00:31:42.000 Well, then I think we have a common enemy.

00:31:44.000 There 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.

00:31:54.000 And 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.

00:32:04.000 That guy's got to go so we can get back to some harmony and sing-offs or rap-offs or whatever.

00:32:09.000 Yeah, well, I appreciate you.

00:32:10.000 It 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.

00:32:17.000 I do.

00:32:19.000 We just had four black guys. 0.88

00:32:21.000 I'm tuning out! 0.96

00:32:22.000 No, actually, I'm tuning out to my home fellows.

00:32:24.000 Yes, yes.

00:32:25.000 That's how it goes, right?

00:32:26.000 I believe so.

00:32:28.000 I try not to appear too old and out of touch on these kinds of shows, so...

00:32:32.000 Well, if you're Canadian, you appear old enough to touch no matter what. 1.00

00:32:35.000 It's like, that's the one thing, you know, well, Drake is from your neck of the woods there in Canada.

00:32:39.000 Drake. 0.96

00:32:40.000 And 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. 1.00

00:32:51.000 I'm like, how does this fakery get through the rap industry? 0.98

00:32:54.000 As a Canadian, I can't get my hand around it.

00:32:56.000 Poor people don't have access to Google.

00:32:58.000 Yes.

00:32:58.000 That's the problem here.

00:32:59.000 I only have Bing.

00:33:01.000 So, okay, sorry, we've gotten off track.

00:33:03.000 Yeah, you know, I'm glad to hear you say that.

00:33:05.000 Because, well, for example, I know you're, would you say atheist?

00:33:08.000 Would you, I don't want to, some people don't like the term atheist.

00:33:10.000 You're an atheist, I'm a Christian.

00:33:12.000 Well, here's the thing.

00:33:12.000 Is that a fair?

00:33:14.000 Here's the thing.

00:33:15.000 Philosophically, I'm an atheist.

00:33:16.000 But 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.

00:33:26.000 And I've actually found that I like Christians a lot more than atheists.

00:33:31.000 OK.

00:33:32.000 Who tend to be kind of high strung, kind of aggressive, often underemployed and gravitate enormously towards the left.

00:33:40.000 And statistically, this is true.

00:33:43.000 And so my sort of particular concern is that what I love about Christianity is to focus on the individual conscience.

00:33:48.000 And you can't point guns at people and make them good.

00:33:52.000 The moment you introduce force.

00:33:52.000 Right.

00:33:53.000 In the Christian theology into somebody's moral behavior, boom, out goes the morality.

00:33:57.000 You know, it's like introducing force into dating.

00:33:59.000 Suddenly you're just a creep in a windowless van.

00:34:01.000 Yeah. 0.99

00:34:01.000 All of a sudden it's rape. 0.99

00:34:03.000 I know.

00:34:04.000 Believe me, we've had to deal with this.

00:34:05.000 So 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. 0.66

00:34:22.000 Well, 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.

00:34:28.000 And the reason I brought it up is because, yeah, I think a lot of people...

00:34:30.000 I 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.

00:34:41.000 It was angry atheists who kind of dominated YouTube who would represent it for us. 1.00

00:34:44.000 Like, they don't believe in evolution!

00:34:46.000 We didn't get to say, hold on, hold on, that's not true.

00:34:48.000 You know, we didn't get to say...

00:34:49.000 The Pope has accepted evolution!

00:34:51.000 Yeah!

00:34:51.000 Yeah, and I didn't even say it.

00:34:52.000 A long time ago.

00:34:53.000 I'm not a big Pope guy either.

00:34:55.000 But 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.

00:35:01.000 Some 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. 0.77

00:35:10.000 But it's interesting that we can find common ground there today because the left is, again, so intolerant.

00:35:16.000 Christians and atheists kind of coming together just as free thinkers and And that just really interests me.

00:35:20.000 I 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.

00:35:28.000 Well, this is the thing.

00:35:29.000 So Christianity is a conversation.

00:35:31.000 It's one of the few religions that is primarily spread by the word and not by the sword, unlike some others.

00:35:36.000 And so the fact that Christianity is a conversation has far more in common with philosophy.

00:35:42.000 Then 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.

00:35:52.000 uh, 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.

00:36:05.000 It 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.

00:36:13.000 And 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.

00:36:23.000 And 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.

00:36:44.000 That is not part of my upbringing.

00:36:46.000 And of course, I pillaged a lot of that and took pride in it.

00:36:48.000 But 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.

00:36:57.000 No, it does.

00:36:58.000 And that's really interesting to hear, actually.

00:37:00.000 Because not necessarily...

00:37:01.000 Well, actually, have you read at all Alec Ryrie, professor?

00:37:04.000 He was on the program.

00:37:05.000 And is it Protestantism?

00:37:07.000 What's the name of the book?

00:37:08.000 Protestantism, the Western...

00:37:10.000 He'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.

00:37:23.000 And 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.

00:37:33.000 And obviously when that turns into accept the church authority, that becomes a problem.

00:37:37.000 But the way I was raised with Christian parents, they always encouraged me to, you know, I wasn't raised Catholic.

00:37:43.000 It wasn't this person's word is divine or this person is infallible.

00:37:47.000 Although I understand that relates only to spiritual issues.

00:37:49.000 It was always, hey, listen, yeah, question anyone, anything you hear in church, question it, ask me questions.

00:37:55.000 And I don't know that necessarily my Islamic friends or where I was in Montreal had that upbringing.

00:38:01.000 Probably not.

00:38:02.000 They were probably killing people.

00:38:03.000 Well, but this is the challenge, right?

00:38:05.000 I 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.

00:38:18.000 Believe 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.

00:38:37.000 just a decent person to stop and say, bless you.

00:38:39.000 And then you might fall into a conversation where the guy can sell you something.

00:38:43.000 So sneezing was considered an unfair competitive practice, and you weren't allowed to do it.

00:38:47.000 You weren't allowed to find these.

00:38:49.000 So there was such a tight control over the economy.

00:38:51.000 And then the Protestants, of course, came along with this massive skepticism.

00:38:54.000 The foundation of Protestantism was something's really gone wrong with religion.

00:38:59.000 And let's stop having the priest yell at us in Latin, and let's actually start reading stuff for ourselves.

00:39:04.000 And this is, you know, I did this show years ago, but this is a direct parallel to what you and I and others are doing on the internet.

00:39:10.000 This is the new Gutenberg.

00:39:11.000 This is the new printing press, right?

00:39:13.000 There 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.

00:39:20.000 And 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.

00:39:32.000 Well, let people think for themselves is the foundation of the modern world.

00:39:36.000 Stop being told what to do.

00:39:37.000 Stop being told what to think outside of government schools, the mainstream media, academia, etc., etc.

00:39:42.000 And 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.

00:39:53.000 And this, going back to the monetization issue, Stephen, this is what demonetization is supposed to do.

00:39:58.000 It's supposed to get you to start self-censoring.

00:40:01.000 Ooh, do I really want to spend three days researching and producing this video if it turns out I got a 50-50?

00:40:06.000 So the soft censorship is the real problem and you just have to grit your teeth and drive through that.

00:40:11.000 We'll find a way to flourish and survive because I think we have...

00:40:14.000 The truth of the process on our side.

00:40:16.000 The truth of the conclusion, who cares?

00:40:18.000 It's like science.

00:40:19.000 Philosophy, thinking, conversations is a process.

00:40:22.000 As 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.

00:40:31.000 Yes, I agree.

00:40:32.000 You've got to rub it before it breaks.

00:40:33.000 Gutenberg analogy.

00:40:35.000 We haven't gotten that on the show.

00:40:36.000 We've gotten the Hindenberg.

00:40:37.000 Quite a few times with this program.

00:40:40.000 It's just referring to your guns with that t-shirt.

00:40:43.000 No, hold on a second.

00:40:44.000 See, because if your audience...

00:40:45.000 This is a romper.

00:40:46.000 I don't wear tank tops.

00:40:48.000 That would be douchey.

00:40:50.000 Stefan.

00:40:51.000 That would be embarrassing, Stefan.

00:40:53.000 Okay, we do have to get going here because I could talk about this all day.

00:40:55.000 And one thing I do want to touch on.

00:40:56.000 You said the process is really what matters.

00:40:58.000 I think that's an important...

00:41:00.000 An 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.

00:41:09.000 So I think it's actually pivotal that you said that, that the process is what matters.

00:41:12.000 And 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.

00:41:17.000 Listen, you've been a big President Trump, obviously, advocate, fan.

00:41:22.000 The general consensus is the last couple weeks have been kind of tough.

00:41:26.000 What's been your view on it?

00:41:27.000 I'm exhausted with it all.

00:41:30.000 Well, Steve, that's because you're listening to the media, and the first thing you want to do...

00:41:34.000 Have you ever had it in your life?

00:41:36.000 I 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.

00:41:42.000 She thinks that we want to have babies. 1.00

00:41:45.000 She 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.

00:41:50.000 So I'm like, Okay, put her on.

00:41:51.000 And then she says...

00:41:53.000 Well, you know, for the first two years, he was saying, oh, here's what our babies are going to be called.

00:41:56.000 And here's what, you know, I want two boys and a girl and this, that and the other.

00:41:59.000 And so once you get the other side, it all kind of...

00:42:03.000 No longer makes any sense what the first person is saying.

00:42:05.000 You're getting the side from the media, particularly around this Comey memo.

00:42:08.000 The Comey memo, you know, something that someone wrote at some point in the past.

00:42:13.000 Nobody's actually seen it.

00:42:14.000 All that happened is the New York Times had someone who claims to be having inside knowledge read parts of this memo to them.

00:42:22.000 It's not interference in an FBI investigation.

00:42:25.000 It's not any kind of illegal action.

00:42:27.000 It's just him saying, hey, I wish the best for my friend.

00:42:31.000 I hope that it doesn't go too far, you know, this kind of stuff.

00:42:33.000 It is not any kind of torturous interference.

00:42:35.000 It is not anything illegal.

00:42:37.000 And if it was, Comey's in deep crap, because Comey is supposed to report any interference in FBI investigations.

00:42:44.000 And if he didn't, that is actually illegal. 0.66

00:42:47.000 And he could be brought up on charges.

00:42:48.000 He could lose his license to practice law.

00:42:50.000 If Trump did something that was illegal and Comey didn't tell him, tell anyone, didn't.

00:42:55.000 And now it's just floating up, what, right after the guy got fired?

00:42:57.000 He didn't even tell the guy who's the acting director of the FBI. And so Comey himself has said, nobody interfered in investigations.

00:43:04.000 The acting FBI director has said, nobody interfered in investigations.

00:43:07.000 This is a media-generated panic scandal that's just designed to appeal to the base.

00:43:12.000 But we all get it.

00:43:13.000 The Dems don't like democracy when it doesn't go their way.

00:43:16.000 And now they want to change the outcome of the election.

00:43:18.000 So they're manufacturing all of this stuff.

00:43:20.000 Well, I don't think...

00:43:20.000 No, no, I understand.

00:43:21.000 I don't think it's totally...

00:43:22.000 No, no, no.

00:43:23.000 I don't think it's...

00:43:24.000 I don't think it's entirely manufactured, and I certainly wouldn't say that we're only getting one side of the media.

00:43:27.000 My issue is more so Donald Trump.

00:43:30.000 Here's the issue here with Donald Trump. 0.98

00:43:31.000 He'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. 0.99

00:43:42.000 Now, I'm not talking about classified information. 0.99

00:43:44.000 By the way, he's president.

00:43:44.000 He can declassify whatever he wants.

00:43:46.000 So I want to make that clear.

00:43:47.000 But 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.

00:44:05.000 And I just wish you were a little more tactful.

00:44:06.000 We were talking about this today.

00:44:07.000 You know, you're relatively, I mean, Compared to Donald Trump, the sort of modicum of fame or notoriety that we have, right?

00:44:13.000 But 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.

00:44:20.000 You've probably encountered people who already recognize you, right?

00:44:23.000 And they come up and they're fans.

00:44:24.000 They behave with you very differently. 1.00

00:44:27.000 All I do – sorry to interrupt, but I basically just grab them by the pussy. 1.00

00:44:30.000 Yes, yes, yes. 1.00

00:44:31.000 Because it's really, really important to milk that fame for what it's worth.

00:44:34.000 Yes, yes.

00:44:35.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:44:36.000 Well, I think I have it on a bumper sticker somewhere.

00:44:38.000 But you understand that these people, they interact with you, right?

00:44:41.000 We would agree differently than people who've known you for a long time.

00:44:43.000 Well, 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.

00:44:50.000 It's been a money relationship where people are, to some degree, enamored with him.

00:44:54.000 He's famous.

00:44:54.000 He's wealthy.

00:44:55.000 And 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.

00:45:05.000 And for us, that's kind of what we sat down and realized this week.

00:45:08.000 Almost 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.

00:45:16.000 And 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.

00:45:24.000 So he met with the Russians, and he talked about stuff that wasn't classified, and that's perfectly fine.

00:45:32.000 Yes.

00:45:33.000 I mean, there's nothing wrong with that.

00:45:35.000 The interesting thing is that some of the information that was leaked to the mainstream media appears to be more classified.

00:45:40.000 In 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.

00:45:49.000 So I, you know, I don't care.

00:45:51.000 Right, but he said, they said they were talking about sensitive information.

00:45:53.000 I want immigration law to be enforced.

00:45:54.000 If taxes can be lowered, fantastic.

00:45:56.000 You 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?

00:46:03.000 Like, this is nonsense.

00:46:05.000 It doesn't matter.

00:46:08.000 The one thing I do think matters though is, I'm not talking about classified, we agree on that.

00:46:14.000 What I'm saying what matters is as far as, because the Vegas odds have gone to a 60% chance of him being impeached.

00:46:18.000 Now, these are the Vegas betting odds.

00:46:20.000 They get it right, they get it wrong sometimes.

00:46:22.000 And I think the reason they're seeing that is, again, not that he talked about classified information.

00:46:27.000 But the concern is that he sent out people, his subordinates, with marching orders that he then contradicted, you know, an hour later.

00:46:35.000 And that makes them look really bad.

00:46:36.000 And that's not something that a good leader does.

00:46:39.000 And that comes with experience.

00:46:40.000 But my point is, when they say, no, no sensitive information was discussed, no information regarding terrorism.

00:46:45.000 Or when he says, when they say, you know, listen, we had written a formal letter to fire coma.

00:46:48.000 And he says, absolutely.

00:46:49.000 Ah, who cared about the letter?

00:46:49.000 I was going to fire him anyway.

00:46:50.000 And contradicts the memos that they've been given.

00:46:53.000 My issue is just, I hope he gets that leadership just a little tighter so the left doesn't take the ball and run with it.

00:46:59.000 And say, look, smoke, smoke, smoke.

00:47:01.000 Yeah, look, look, smoke.

00:47:01.000 Because it doesn't seem like there is.

00:47:03.000 All of these sources are unnamed.

00:47:04.000 And you have to protect your sources.

00:47:05.000 We understand that with journalism, right?

00:47:07.000 But when CNN and New York Times, when they're all unnamed sources, when they're all...

00:47:10.000 Listen, 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.

00:47:16.000 So I think it is mostly fakery.

00:47:19.000 I just think it gives them a little too much leeway as far as a leadership ability.

00:47:24.000 That's my criticism.

00:47:26.000 Well, okay.

00:47:26.000 Let me sort of give you a counterpoint.

00:47:27.000 Let me know what you think.

00:47:28.000 Sure.

00:47:29.000 You 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?

00:47:43.000 I mean, that would just be a very, very tough existence to sort of wend your way through.

00:47:48.000 And so, is the left going to find some contradiction from here or there, was one thing said, and then another term was used...

00:47:54.000 Why give any of it oxygen?

00:47:56.000 That's my question.

00:48:17.000 giving some of this stuff oxygen.

00:48:19.000 What does it matter if, well, one person says the word sensitive, sensitive doesn't mean classified, it just means delicate.

00:48:24.000 So who cares what was said in that meeting?

00:48:26.000 It doesn't matter.

00:48:27.000 I 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. 1.00

00:48:35.000 'Cause I'm concerned that some people as a whole are kind of feeding into and fanning the flames.

00:48:40.000 Well, they've got a point about this.

00:48:42.000 They've got a point.

00:48:42.000 I don't think the left has much of a point about anything.

00:48:44.000 I do think this week they have some – not the left.

00:48:46.000 I 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.

00:48:54.000 I don't think – You know, for example, we can talk about it another time.

00:48:56.000 We have so much to get into.

00:48:58.000 But I don't think I'm fanning the flames or giving it more oxygen than Donald Trump's Twitter.

00:49:02.000 I 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.

00:49:09.000 I think we could fan the flames less if they were just a little bit tighter.

00:49:13.000 Because the last thing you want to do is some slip-up.

00:49:15.000 All of a sudden makes the Young Turks write about anything by accident. 0.90

00:49:19.000 God forbid.

00:49:19.000 It's not happened yet.

00:49:20.000 I don't think it will, but I just don't want it to happen at some point in the next four years.

00:49:24.000 That's my nightmare.

00:49:26.000 Stefan Molyneux, freedomainradio.com.

00:49:29.000 Hey, speaking of demonetization, how can people support you right now?

00:50:01.000 So 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.

00:50:10.000 Because his parents had been watching so much YouTube that he thought that meant goodbye.

00:50:16.000 Well, I think the kid needs a nanny. 1.00

00:50:21.000 Freedomainradio.com.

00:50:22.000 I think YouTube is his nanny.

00:52:30.000 You can watch it on the go.

00:52:31.000 It's actually, we're going to a new platform because of the people who joined It's going to be a whole lot better than YouTube's platform.

00:52:37.000 And it's what allows us to keep fighting back on YouTube and keep creating the free content, like Stefan was talking about.

00:52:42.000 He lives off of the donations.

00:52:44.000 He keeps it going by the donations that you send, and that's what keeps him on YouTube fighting back.

00:52:49.000 It's what keeps YouTube conservative territory.

00:52:52.000 The left may not like it, but we own...

00:52:55.000 That plot of land, pretty much.

00:52:57.000 We don't technically own it, but you get it digitally.

00:52:58.000 Like the digital agricultural revolution.

00:53:10.000 Just less.

00:53:11.000 just less all right You know what?

00:53:22.000 I would say glad to have our next guest, but I will tell you, I think he suffers a little bit from overexposure these days.

00:53:27.000 He does.

00:53:28.000 Because I go to my rheumatologist.

00:53:30.000 Lo and behold, who do I see?

00:53:33.000 Matt Iceman on the cover of Arthritis Today.

00:53:37.000 What's the conversation like with your agent?

00:53:39.000 They're like, hey, you hurt.

00:53:40.000 How can you tell me suffering from overexposure in that outfit there, Bruno?

00:53:46.000 Well put.

00:53:47.000 I mean, Dean Cain didn't even wear that back in the 80s.

00:53:51.000 No, that's true.

00:53:52.000 I wish Dean Cain had worn nothing.

00:53:54.000 This is my third time on the cover of Arthritis Today magazine.

00:53:57.000 I know.

00:53:57.000 I put my pants on one leg at a time.

00:53:59.000 I'm still human.

00:54:00.000 And it's extremely painful.

00:54:03.000 For me, it's been great having been involved, having rheumatoid arthritis, having been involved with the Arthritis Foundation for over a decade now.

00:54:11.000 It's been nice getting to tell my story and becoming, I like to say, a celebrity amongst the GIMP community.

00:54:17.000 Really one of the breakout stars of it.

00:54:19.000 Well, that was the last time you were on to cover that magazine.

00:54:23.000 Sold them all.

00:54:25.000 The next byline is just an apology.

00:54:27.000 We apologize for previous cover model, Matt Eisman's comments.

00:54:30.000 No, 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.

00:54:40.000 But That's the entire reason that I'm on the cover of that magazine.

00:54:45.000 That's why I competed for Arthritis Foundation on Celebrity Apprentice.

00:54:49.000 I 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...

00:55:00.000 For people who are out there who are suffering from this disease, it can be kind of isolating.

00:55:04.000 I think it's important for people to know that there are others out there who have rheumatoid arthritis and are still leading full lives.

00:55:11.000 I'm not competing on Ninja Warrior, but I talk about people who compete on Ninja Warrior.

00:55:15.000 I was going to get your plug in there.

00:55:17.000 At Matt Eisman on Twitter, host of American Ninja Warrior, and they have Celebrity Ninja Warrior coming up.

00:55:23.000 When's that happening?

00:55:25.000 It's May 25th.

00:55:26.000 It's part of Red Nose Day. 0.56

00:55:28.000 It's actually, it's going to be us.

00:55:30.000 It's Bear Grylls running wild.

00:55:32.000 He's going to have Julia Robertson.

00:55:33.000 There's going to be a live telethon.

00:55:35.000 And Oscar and I will be out there in New York.

00:55:37.000 It's been nice.

00:55:38.000 I think NBC has really started to show a lot of attention and appreciation to Ninja Warrior.

00:55:46.000 It's like we're the booty call that's now becoming a girl. 0.86

00:55:48.000 They take out You must have a great agent.

00:55:52.000 You guys want Matt Heisman!

00:55:54.000 He's the kid!

00:55:57.000 It's Gilbert Gottfried, apparently.

00:55:59.000 I was going to say, it's John Lennon!

00:56:01.000 Heisman once, Aberdeen Prentice.

00:56:02.000 Now you need to use him more.

00:56:04.000 Yes.

00:56:05.000 Also, I need work.

00:56:08.000 Okay, listen, speaking of that, NBC, great.

00:56:08.000 Sorry.

00:56:10.000 Unlike those pieces of human crap at ABC, you were talking about this. 0.98

00:56:14.000 Tim Allen, you know, I run into him quite a bit every now and then in the summer. 0.95

00:56:18.000 I don't know him at all.

00:56:19.000 I think he also is one who refused to do our show along with Stephen Molyneux.

00:56:23.000 I I can't figure it out.

00:56:25.000 Well, Last Man Standing was cancelled.

00:56:27.000 And you've been following this.

00:56:28.000 I mean, it was the second highest rated comedy over there at ABC, and it won its time slot regularly.

00:56:33.000 Yeah, it's interesting.

00:56:35.000 You know, the thing I heard was that actually because of the show's success, sometimes the show's success can work against it.

00:56:42.000 You get to the point where I think he's heading into the season six or season seven.

00:56:46.000 Six, yeah.

00:56:47.000 And the problem with success, salaries go up, costs go up.

00:56:50.000 And what I'd heard was that the show was actually becoming prohibitively expensive because everyone deserved higher salaries.

00:56:58.000 Yeah.

00:56:58.000 That was the story that I heard and that I hope to believe.

00:57:01.000 You know, the one that I think Tim feels actually happened was he expressed some conservative beliefs.

00:57:06.000 Right.

00:57:06.000 That he expressed some conservative beliefs and maybe wasn't as artistic about it anytime you invoke 1930s Germany.

00:57:13.000 Yeah.

00:57:13.000 But the show was really right-leading.

00:57:16.000 The show was constantly throwing jabs at Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.

00:57:20.000 Also Donald Trump.

00:57:21.000 I will say this to people out there.

00:57:24.000 Find a more fair show than here.

00:57:26.000 We legitimately make fun of everyone.

00:57:28.000 I have five Roger Ailes jokes here that I could not use today.

00:57:33.000 That's how this show operates.

00:57:34.000 And I'm amazed that Last Matt Standing made it as long as it did.

00:57:38.000 To me, that's why I like your show.

00:57:42.000 I feel there's a balance there.

00:57:44.000 You're open.

00:57:45.000 You and Joe Rogan, I think, are two of them.

00:57:47.000 You're underrated as interviewers in that I think you invite people in who have views that are all across the spectrum.

00:57:58.000 And I think you genuinely listen to them and engage them.

00:58:01.000 And for me, that's what I like.

00:58:03.000 I don't want to hear an echo chamber.

00:58:05.000 I want to hear someone who hears different points of views and who either pokes holes in them or realizes their own mistakes.

00:58:12.000 But in either way, hopefully your knowledge base is growing.

00:58:15.000 And unfortunately, as I look at it, I just don't see a lot of that going on.

00:58:19.000 And it just feels claustrophobic.

00:58:22.000 I mean, my thing is, I just, I really do feel as though today the left is incapable of laughing at themselves.

00:58:25.000 I 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...

00:58:38.000 Right.

00:58:38.000 It's t-ball for them.

00:58:40.000 They choose to sit it out.

00:58:41.000 I am amazed.

00:58:42.000 I'm like, how can you even remotely consider yourself a consistent comedian with this?

00:58:46.000 It's okay to have a point of view.

00:58:48.000 And you're seeing this with Last Man Standing.

00:58:50.000 Like, every other show is super far left.

00:58:53.000 And this is a show that makes fun of both sides, has a more middle American bent.

00:58:57.000 And it's gone.

00:58:58.000 I don't buy the salary thing.

00:58:59.000 If you have a winning product, you figure out how to make it work.

00:59:03.000 What's your opinion?

00:59:04.000 Well, it is.

00:59:06.000 It's certainly suspicious.

00:59:07.000 I will tell you, with television, we've learned there are innumerable variables, and it's impossible to know what's going on.

00:59:14.000 I think it is unfortunate, because I feel the same way, where you're starting to hear very much one side...

00:59:24.000 I 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.

00:59:40.000 And I feel like to have it consistently be one side, you end up eliminating a lot of the audience.

00:59:43.000 Speaking of one side, is it bright on one side or did you have a stroke?

00:59:46.000 Because one of your eyes is repeatedly closing.

00:59:48.000 Oh, no.

00:59:50.000 So, this eye drips.

00:59:53.000 I have a lazy eye.

00:59:54.000 It's the craziest thing. 0.99

00:59:55.000 Oh, damn it. 1.00

00:59:55.000 Now I'm a jackass. 1.00

00:59:56.000 People go, where are you looking? 0.99

00:59:58.000 I've never seen you do that before, though.

00:59:59.000 I end up on very right eye dominant, but I tend to do that.

01:00:03.000 It's my Clint Eastwood look. 0.99

01:00:04.000 Damn it! 0.99

01:00:05.000 Now I feel horrible. 1.00

01:00:06.000 There's an empty chair over there.

01:00:07.000 No, it's one of those things.

01:00:09.000 You're going to lose your career over this.

01:00:11.000 All the people with lazy eyes are going to protest you.

01:00:14.000 This deserves to be demonetized.

01:00:15.000 This deserves to be demonetized. 0.88

01:00:17.000 He said gimp. 0.97

01:00:18.000 I made fun of him for his lazy... 0.81

01:00:19.000 Listen.

01:00:19.000 Come on, okay?

01:00:20.000 If you're looking for embarrassment, alright, get a load of that, okay?

01:00:23.000 I'll make fun of myself more.

01:00:24.000 I just...

01:00:24.000 I really, for me, I think comedy, nothing should be sacred.

01:00:29.000 I'm one of the...

01:00:30.000 Look, my comedy, I'm pretty straight-laced, but I love listening to people like Doug Stanhope or Jim Norton who talk about the most...

01:00:39.000 Off-limits subjects, but are funny about it.

01:00:42.000 And I feel like there shouldn't be any taboos.

01:00:44.000 We should be able to laugh at everything.

01:00:46.000 And the best comics can say things completely antithetical to your beliefs, but it's so funny.

01:00:51.000 And there's some logic to it, some truth to it.

01:00:54.000 And I feel like comedy has been getting...

01:00:57.000 I don't like to see comedy thought-policed.

01:01:00.000 And again, I feel like every point of view...

01:01:03.000 Either South Park is the best to me, where it's either we make fun of everything, or we make fun of nothing.

01:01:08.000 Right.

01:01:09.000 Because 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.

01:01:22.000 Yeah, Comedy Central came down on them and that was a thing.

01:01:23.000 And there was a realization for them.

01:01:25.000 Yeah, I hope, you know, with Last Man Standing, it's sad to see that.

01:01:28.000 And it is sad to see them.

01:01:29.000 I mean, you expect it from networks.

01:01:31.000 And unfortunately, that's actually seeping into the stand-up comedy world.

01:01:33.000 We've talked about that with Jim Norton.

01:01:35.000 We've talked about that with Nick DiPaolo.

01:01:36.000 And that's what worries me.

01:01:37.000 You expect it from ABC. You know, hey, shut up and fly right. 0.99

01:01:40.000 But hopefully, like we were talking about with Stephen Molyneux, it's the self-censorship.

01:01:44.000 I would hate to see comedy change because people just don't want to take the risk because they're afraid of those repercussions.

01:01:49.000 We do have to get going.

01:01:50.000 American Ninja Warrior at Matt Eisman.

01:01:52.000 He won Celebrity Apprentice.

01:01:54.000 And go pick yourself a copy of Arthritis today.

01:01:58.000 That better not be in the bathroom with Jerry. 0.81

01:02:00.000 It will not be flagged.

01:02:02.000 I tell you that.

01:02:03.000 We'll be back.

01:02:04.000 Wrapping this up after this.

01:02:05.000 There's music.

01:02:06.000 Thanks, guys.

01:02:07.000 It's Pogo.

01:02:08.000 One, two, three.

01:02:14.000 And now for the Diary of Sean Spicer.

01:02:17.000 Entry 934.

01:02:20.000 Dear Diary, feels good to write over here again.

01:02:24.000 Tumultuous weeks like this, it's time where I find solace in all of the familiarities of everyday life.

01:02:31.000 Like you, a glass of red wine on my bed, nestling into my pillow.

01:02:37.000 Sweetie?

01:02:57.000 I'm busy.

01:02:59.000 Stay tuned for more Diaries of Sean Spicer.

01:03:03.000 We'll be right back.

01:03:32.000 There's a lot of current in this studio.

01:03:46.000 Taking you every which way.

01:03:47.000 It's weird.

01:03:47.000 I don't know why.

01:03:49.000 The timing of the last segment with that kind of thing.

01:03:51.000 The romper acts like a sail.

01:03:53.000 It catches it.

01:03:54.000 You don't want to be wearing a romper when you're caught in a riptide.

01:03:56.000 No.

01:03:57.000 Thanks to Matt Eisman. 1.00

01:03:58.000 I feel like such an ass. 0.98

01:03:58.000 What a nice guy. 0.98

01:04:00.000 I was sure, because we've never done that before.

01:04:02.000 I had no idea.

01:04:03.000 I had no idea.

01:04:05.000 I don't know.

01:04:05.000 It was a layup, like, you know, oh, did you have a stroke?

01:04:09.000 No, it's a sunlight. 0.99

01:04:11.000 You're not a jerk, but you play one on TV. And it just turns out, oh, he has a neurological system. 0.99

01:04:18.000 There have been few more embarrassing moments on the show.

01:04:21.000 Tweet us your stories.

01:04:22.000 I'm sure people out there have similar stories of assuming and making jokes and it doesn't go so well.

01:04:27.000 Pregnant or something like that. 0.51

01:04:28.000 Yeah. 0.99

01:04:29.000 Or retarded. 1.00

01:04:30.000 I've had that. 0.85

01:04:31.000 To me. 0.68

01:04:33.000 People thought I was retarded.

01:04:34.000 I've told you that story.

01:04:35.000 They perhaps thought I was autistic.

01:04:38.000 When I was convinced.

01:04:40.000 Yeah.

01:04:41.000 It just turned out it was really boring.

01:04:44.000 School was really boring.

01:04:45.000 I'm like, oh, no, he's not.

01:04:45.000 I didn't like it.

01:04:47.000 This kid doesn't have a disorder.

01:04:48.000 He just doesn't like school.

01:04:50.000 Otherwise known as a boy.

01:04:52.000 Yes.

01:04:53.000 Otherwise known as a boy.

01:04:54.000 So what are we going to do?

01:04:54.000 I don't know.

01:04:54.000 I just want to drug him?

01:04:57.000 Give him some narcotics?

01:04:58.000 That's what we do, right?

01:04:58.000 That's what we do now.

01:05:00.000 Oh, man.

01:05:01.000 Stefan Molyneux.

01:05:01.000 We'll have to have him back.

01:05:03.000 It was so nice, honestly, to support the Mug Club.

01:05:05.000 So do go to Free Domain Radio.

01:05:07.000 And listen, even though I disagree with Stefan on a lot of stuff, I want to see people supporting him.

01:05:11.000 I want to see more voices out there.

01:05:12.000 And like I said, it's amazing how wide this tent is.

01:05:14.000 Think about this week's show.

01:05:17.000 Yeah, this week's show.

01:05:18.000 The shows, but this week's show, collectively.

01:05:20.000 But Stefan Molyneux, Matt Eisman.

01:05:22.000 Who else have we had this week?

01:05:24.000 We had...

01:05:26.000 Gosh, I'm trying to remember.

01:05:28.000 You know what's weird?

01:05:28.000 Once we get to the one show, I'm just on the next show.

01:05:30.000 Oh, that's right.

01:05:30.000 We have Lauren Southern.

01:05:31.000 By the way, so next week we do have Gavin.

01:05:34.000 I think we have Pogo back.

01:05:36.000 We have Tommy Loren in studio.

01:05:39.000 I think Sheriff Clark?

01:05:42.000 Yeah.

01:05:42.000 So, and again, tell all your friends, by the way, those who are members of Mug Club, we appreciate it so much, but tell all your friends.

01:05:47.000 Next week, every single episode is for free on YouTube so you can see what a daily show is like.

01:05:50.000 You know, we want you to go to bed with a smile on your face thinking of Not Gay Jared. 0.96

01:05:54.000 We're going to, by the way, we'll have a Farrah Fawcett poster available in the lotofcluttershop.com of Not Gay Jared.

01:06:00.000 You can just put them on the ceiling, do with it what you will.

01:06:03.000 Once you purchase it, it is yours!

01:06:06.000 A 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.

01:06:13.000 Especially, it's always challenging when we take an unpopular viewpoint and people get offended.

01:06:16.000 You know, with the Trump thing, I can already see some tweets coming.

01:06:19.000 Some people are mad.

01:06:19.000 Some people like the fact that we approached it in a balanced way.

01:06:23.000 I want to see the guy do well.

01:06:25.000 I want to see the country do well.

01:06:26.000 I think most people understand this.

01:06:28.000 In this show, we want to see the country do well.

01:06:31.000 Yeah.

01:06:31.000 Now 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.

01:06:44.000 That's what I believe as far as socialism.

01:06:46.000 But no matter who's at the tiller of the ship, I want to see the country do well.

01:06:49.000 And the way the country does well is if we follow the same principles that made us a great country.

01:06:53.000 Free 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.

01:07:05.000 Sure.

01:07:06.000 Hopper Wishbone, by the way, taught us about that yesterday.

01:07:08.000 That'll be up on YouTube for those who missed it.

01:07:09.000 The separation of church and state, often misconstrued.

01:07:12.000 It's not in the Constitution.

01:07:13.000 You'll see the video, Hopper Wishbone.

01:07:15.000 Aren't you a good actor?

01:07:17.000 Hey, he doesn't like me right now.

01:07:18.000 Don't bother me.

01:07:19.000 Don't bother me.

01:07:20.000 I'm busy.

01:07:21.000 But I will say this.

01:07:22.000 I can already see some tweets of people who are mad.

01:07:24.000 We were talking about this with Matt Eisman.

01:07:26.000 Genuinely, when I watch Samantha Bee and I watch Trevor Noah and I watch Seth Meyers, and by the way, I think Seth Meyers can be funny.

01:07:32.000 I think Stephen Colbert can be funny.

01:07:33.000 I do not think Samantha Bee has ever been funnier Trevor Noah.

01:07:37.000 No.

01:07:37.000 But I do not ever see them go after the left.

01:07:41.000 Surely not to the same degree where we go after conservatives or the right or Donald Trump.

01:07:45.000 It never happens.

01:07:47.000 I'm like, you cannot tell me as a comedian that there is nothing to go after there.

01:07:47.000 And it gets me so...

01:07:51.000 And I don't think there's another show out there more fair.

01:07:56.000 I really don't.

01:07:57.000 The one thing that I will take pride in with this show, we don't go out there and boast about our ratings.

01:08:01.000 We're the best.

01:08:02.000 We don't do any of that.

01:08:03.000 We don't release the numbers.

01:08:03.000 But I do tweet made us cry or tweet at not kid Jared.

01:08:06.000 Is there a show out there that you think is more fair in its disposition and its approach to Donald Trump?

01:08:13.000 For someone who admits that we're conservative.

01:08:15.000 But from the right of the law, we're very straightforward about our point of view.

01:08:18.000 But I really do think that we go to pretty great lengths to try and be at least even-handed with our jokes on this show.

01:08:23.000 We have a legitimate commitment to actual comedy.

01:08:27.000 Yeah.

01:08:28.000 Also a legitimate claim to Gerald using the chainsaw outside.

01:08:33.000 What is he doing?

01:08:34.000 No, we're installing a new generator in a studio.

01:08:37.000 So now you can hear him.

01:08:38.000 Something about Gerald comedy?

01:08:38.000 What did you say?

01:08:40.000 What did you say?

01:08:40.000 Nothing about Gerald comedy.

01:08:42.000 Those two generally mix.

01:08:44.000 Oh, you said something about this show.

01:08:45.000 Legitimate claim to comedy?

01:08:46.000 That's the word I'm looking for.

01:08:46.000 Legitimate...

01:08:49.000 We do things for comedy's sake because we love comedy.

01:08:52.000 We don't write things off limits like Samantha Bee clearly does.

01:08:57.000 Right.

01:08:57.000 By the way, the Times Square incident...

01:09:00.000 You know, we don't know a whole lot at this time, so we just haven't tried to talk about it.

01:09:03.000 Obviously, thoughts and prayers out to those who were hurt.

01:09:06.000 Roger Ailes.

01:09:07.000 We wrote a ton of Roger Ailes jokes, which did not make air.

01:09:10.000 And again, it's not because I hate Roger Ailes, but I know that people will be really upset, so we'll probably make him next week.

01:09:16.000 And I don't dislike Roger Ailes.

01:09:19.000 I don't hate any of the...

01:09:20.000 If we joke about something, that doesn't mean I hate them.

01:09:22.000 No.

01:09:22.000 Or if we criticize him, I don't hate Barack Obama.

01:09:26.000 I don't hate Donald Trump if I think he could use some advice in leadership ability.

01:09:31.000 I don't hate Trevor Noah.

01:09:34.000 Samantha Bee's getting there.

01:09:35.000 I don't hate her.

01:09:37.000 But certainly not to make a joke about them.

01:09:39.000 Yeah, I mean, Roger Ailes, I mean, you know, it's just family.

01:09:42.000 Yeah.

01:09:42.000 You know, that's all I have to cope with.

01:09:44.000 I think that's the best you can do.

01:09:45.000 Especially in the media light as it's going to be.

01:09:48.000 What? 0.99

01:09:48.000 Yeah, well, I watched on CNN that little fat gay bald guy. 0.99

01:09:51.000 What's his name? 1.00

01:09:51.000 Fat gay bald guy on CNN. You know who I'm talking about. 1.00

01:09:53.000 And right away, they were just the first thing they talked about with Roger Ailes was a sexual harassment issue.

01:09:58.000 Yeah.

01:09:58.000 But they're news.

01:09:59.000 This wasn't a joke.

01:10:00.000 It's just all the accusations of sexual harassment. 1.00

01:10:03.000 You tasteless bastard. 1.00

01:10:06.000 You're the competing news network. 1.00

01:10:07.000 Do you know how this looks?

01:10:08.000 If nothing else, I am so glad that people have seen, because we talked about this for years.

01:10:12.000 If 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.

01:10:21.000 But what bothers me is CNN, is the bias by omission, is the lying and what they choose not to cover.

01:10:26.000 And that's the problem with CNN. And you see it now.

01:10:28.000 Now, everyone, basically, CNN and MSNBC are interchangeable.

01:10:30.000 They understand how biased they are.

01:10:32.000 And 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.

01:10:39.000 I think that's about as good as you can do.

01:10:41.000 I think it's as good as you can do in your personal life and as good as we can do with a show.

01:10:44.000 I will never lie to you.

01:10:45.000 But what's Roger Ailes up to now?

01:10:47.000 Stop it.

01:10:49.000 Stop.

01:10:49.000 Is he busy?

01:10:50.000 No.

01:10:50.000 Stop.

01:10:51.000 Where is he at?

01:10:52.000 Stop.

01:10:52.000 Stop with the, you know they're writing the show map, and if I glance down, I'm going to have to read them.

01:10:58.000 I think it's as good as you can do.

01:11:00.000 I 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.

01:11:05.000 Well, there's never going to be a discovery where you go, did you know that Stephen is biased as a conservative?

01:11:10.000 Yeah.

01:11:10.000 We never lie about that.

01:11:12.000 And I think you try and be honest.

01:11:14.000 You try to acknowledge your own biases and challenge them.

01:11:16.000 That's as good as you can do.

01:11:18.000 It'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.

01:11:25.000 It'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.

01:11:32.000 I have much more respect for even a Rachel Maddow or even a Samantha Bee.

01:11:36.000 Nah, not Samantha Bee, because she tries to claim that we're just going after comedy when she's not. 1.00

01:11:39.000 She's a liberal Canadian socialist in the United States.

01:11:42.000 I think we should deport her.

01:11:42.000 Hopefully ICE gets a hold of her.

01:11:45.000 But I have much more respect for even a Keith Olbermann, where you know where he's coming from.

01:11:48.000 I have much more respect for somebody who can look themselves in the mirror and say, gosh...

01:11:54.000 I'm not going to lie.

01:11:54.000 Yeah, you know what?

01:11:55.000 You're a liberal.

01:11:55.000 You know what?

01:11:56.000 You're a conservative.

01:11:56.000 You know what?

01:11:57.000 You have an agenda.

01:11:57.000 We are conservative.

01:11:58.000 Absolutely.

01:11:58.000 I'm more right-wing, libertarian conservative.

01:12:01.000 I'm not the biggest Trump fan, you know, in the primaries, but I want to see the guy do well.

01:12:04.000 I want to see the country do well, certainly after the last eight years of Barack Obama.

01:12:08.000 I want to see our course be set straight.

01:12:11.000 That's where I'm coming from.

01:12:12.000 Also, I'm going to tell wiener jokes because I find them funny. 1.00

01:12:16.000 I think you need to do that with anyone out there.

01:12:18.000 If 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.

01:12:29.000 I 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.

01:12:35.000 Because you're just not...

01:12:36.000 I don't think it's an honest approach.

01:12:38.000 And I think that what we do with this show is also how we try and approach our life, except when it comes to rompers.
