Louder with Crowder - #178 TRUMP PULLS OUT! Gov. Mike Huckabee and Ann McElhinney Guest | Louder With Crowder

00:00:01.000 Bilkowski

00:00:10.000 BABY KING

00:01:26.000 It's June!

00:01:28.000 which marks Louder with Crowder's second annual Cultural Appropriation Month, where we learn and appreciate all the great cultures this globe has to offer.

00:01:38.000 This week, we travel to the ancient, honorable, if sadistic culture of Japan. 1.00

00:01:45.000 Music Alright, glad to be with you.

00:02:12.000 That is Cultural Appropriation Month.

00:02:15.000 By the way, sake is terrible.

00:02:17.000 It is awful.

00:02:18.000 Because anybody knew, I don't want to vilify an entire nation's beverage of choice. 0.99

00:02:22.000 That deserves to just die with Kamikaze. 0.99

00:02:26.000 It sucks, but have another sip. 1.00

00:02:29.000 We are going to take a wine. 0.99

00:02:31.000 And hold it a little beverage.

00:02:31.000 Yes.

00:02:34.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:02:35.000 Make a taste of rankin' shit. 1.00

00:02:37.000 Producing in the in-video studio as always is Jared, who is not gay. 1.00

00:02:41.000 You sure?

00:02:41.000 Sailor Jared today.

00:02:43.000 You can leave him your tweets at NotGayJarred on Twitter or me at S.Craddle with your comments, your thoughts, I fulfill my legal obligations, your own conclusions.

00:02:50.000 I'm not even convinced about anything anymore.

00:02:50.000 You good?

00:02:52.000 No.

00:02:53.000 Who knows what the topsy-turvy world will live in. 1.00

00:02:55.000 At G.Morgan Jr., how are you, sir?

00:02:57.000 I don't know what that is.

00:03:00.000 It's like Ryu over here.

00:03:01.000 It's like Ryu in the short bus.

00:03:04.000 Ryu doesn't even look like Ryu.

00:03:04.000 Yeah.

00:03:06.000 Ryu has brown hair.

00:03:08.000 Oh, that's awesome.

00:03:09.000 And then Ken with the blonde hair.

00:03:10.000 I got my headphones all hung up here.

00:03:12.000 Hey, by the way, we have Governor Mike Huckabee on the show today.

00:03:15.000 And then Anne McElhinney on the show because, of course, she is a Gosnell book fan.

00:03:20.000 You mainly know her, but she did Not Evil Just Wrong as it related to climate change. 0.57

00:03:23.000 And, of course, that's in the news today.

00:03:24.000 And A Fract Nation. 0.88

00:03:25.000 Fragnation! 0.78

00:03:26.000 Fragnation has talked a lot about environmental issues.

00:03:29.000 And with the Paris Accord, since we're talking about that...

00:03:31.000 Oh, by the way, little known fact.

00:03:33.000 To learn about cultures is to appreciate cultures.

00:03:35.000 And that's why we do Cultural Appropriation Month.

00:03:37.000 It is to appreciate cultures.

00:03:40.000 Is what respect looks like.

00:03:41.000 I don't know if you know this.

00:03:42.000 The Japanese male, the average height, is four foot nine.

00:03:47.000 What?

00:03:48.000 Four foot nine, yes.

00:03:49.000 Fully grown?

00:03:50.000 And they tend to have an IQ that's on average four points higher than their European counterparts, but an inability to love. 0.99

00:03:58.000 So, learning.

00:03:59.000 Learning always about the Japanese people.

00:04:01.000 He gives and takes away.

00:04:02.000 Listen, I think you've got to keep your eye on them.

00:04:05.000 Cuts both ways.

00:04:06.000 I know, forgive and forget, but Pearl Harbor...

00:04:09.000 That's going to sting for a while.

00:04:11.000 While we're talking about Trump, Paris.

00:04:13.000 Yes.

00:04:14.000 The Paris Accord, we talked about this yesterday.

00:04:15.000 Trump held his press conference today to discuss his position on the Paris Accord.

00:04:22.000 For those who don't know, he decided to pull out.

00:04:28.000 Okay, but how many of you have frankly seen the Paris Accord?

00:04:31.000 Okay, it's awful.

00:04:33.000 Is that all you get for your money?

00:04:34.000 Okay, it seems like such a waste of time, truthfully, and if that's what it's all about, Paris, if that's what you call moving up...

00:04:44.000 And I pull it out.

00:04:47.000 Pull it out.

00:04:52.000 Next question.

00:04:53.000 That's a man who sticks to his guns.

00:04:54.000 That is a man who sticks to his guns.

00:04:57.000 Respect.

00:04:57.000 And I think, I give praise where it's due.

00:05:00.000 Good on you, President Trump.

00:05:01.000 We'll talk about that with Governor Huckabee.

00:05:03.000 I know he has some opinions on that.

00:05:04.000 And good guy.

00:05:06.000 Good guy, Governor Huckabee.

00:05:07.000 Fun guy.

00:05:08.000 Hey, in other news, in Lebanon...

00:05:10.000 They banned the Wonder Woman film.

00:05:13.000 By the way, Nakei Jared and I and Courtney Scoss will be reviewing this film tomorrow.

00:05:17.000 We'll get that up on YouTube or for those who watch Morning Grinders who get the full review.

00:05:20.000 Sure.

00:05:21.000 Lebanon banned the film and this has been trending all over the place.

00:05:25.000 Originally it was believed that they banned it because of Godot, the lady who plays Wonder Woman, her Israeli nationality, which of course is at war.

00:05:32.000 I'd convert to hang out with her.

00:05:33.000 Well, I don't think...

00:05:34.000 I don't know why you convert to Judaism.

00:05:35.000 I don't even know which...

00:05:36.000 Messianic Jew.

00:05:37.000 Yeah, I don't know.

00:05:38.000 Way to step on the joke early on there.

00:05:40.000 Sorry about that.

00:05:41.000 So it was originally believed to be banned because of Gadot's Israeli nationality in their war with Lebanon.

00:05:48.000 But the Lebanese ambassador later clarified that it was actually a lack of realism with the film.

00:05:54.000 Oh.

00:05:54.000 As Wonder Woman was allowed to drive.

00:05:56.000 They said there's no way their people would ever buy that.

00:05:58.000 Oh, yeah.

00:06:00.000 He also cited test screenings leaving audiences really confused at the lack of her third act honor killing.

00:06:06.000 People were expecting it.

00:06:07.000 She expressed so many opinions!

00:06:10.000 There's no way that would happen.

00:06:12.000 Nothing worse than a disappointing plot twist.

00:06:14.000 Except for one at G. Morgan Jr.

00:06:17.000 I'll step on a joke in a minute.

00:06:18.000 Just steps on it.

00:06:18.000 Just right out there, right out of the chute.

00:06:22.000 It's like Pearl Harbor all over again.

00:06:23.000 It's like now I know what Pearl Harbor was like.

00:06:26.000 Black Lives Matter was awarded the Global Peace Prize from the Sydney Peace Foundation.

00:06:26.000 Here's another news.

00:06:33.000 This is not a joke.

00:06:35.000 Do they know?

00:06:35.000 Yeah, I don't think...

00:06:36.000 There's not a hint of irony.

00:06:37.000 And this is the statement they released.

00:06:39.000 The Sydney Peace Foundation said, This is the first time a movement and not a person has been awarded the Peace Prize.

00:06:45.000 A timely choice.

00:06:46.000 Climate change is escalating fast.

00:06:48.000 Increasing inequality and racism are feeding divisiveness.

00:06:51.000 And we are in the middle of the worst refugee crisis since World War II. Yet many establishment leaders across the world stick their heads in the sand or turn their backs on justice, fairness, and equality.

00:07:01.000 Apparently that has something to do with Black Lives Matter.

00:07:02.000 What the hell does that have to do at all?

00:07:04.000 Yeah, we're going to give the award to Black Lives Matter.

00:07:06.000 How do you justify this?

00:07:08.000 There's climate change going on!

00:07:10.000 And there's about justice and equality!

00:07:13.000 And 2017, y'all!

00:07:15.000 BLM! Because they stand head and shoulders above the rest.

00:07:19.000 We salute you, Black Lives Matter.

00:07:22.000 Music by Ben Thede

00:07:51.000 That's right.

00:08:02.000 Race knows no bounds when it comes to the feels. 0.91

00:08:05.000 Thank you, Black Lives Matter.

00:08:07.000 And thank you for legitimizing the Global Peace Prize.

00:08:07.000 I felt it.

00:08:10.000 We'll keep an eye on that one for years to come.

00:08:14.000 Speaking of which, Huffington Post, this one actually got not gay Jared Scott.

00:08:18.000 He was so upset about this.

00:08:20.000 As we said, we try to not attribute motive.

00:08:23.000 Sometimes people get things wrong.

00:08:24.000 Huffington Post blatantly lied with his article.

00:08:26.000 They blatantly lied.

00:08:27.000 Let me set it up for you.

00:08:29.000 They've been using the recent Portland stabbing to try and push this narrative of white supremacists and try and revive this idea that it's like American History X out there on every boardwalk.

00:08:39.000 Despite the fact, by the way, the guy was a Bernie voter, but meh.

00:08:42.000 Yep.

00:08:42.000 Inconvenient.

00:08:43.000 So to the extent of their pure dishonesty, Huffington Post wrote a piece on this.

00:08:47.000 Because, listen, they're concerned about white supremacy.

00:08:49.000 They actually wrote these words to form these phrases.

00:08:52.000 After a white supremacist killed six people at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin in 2012.

00:08:56.000 So they're going back to 2012.

00:08:58.000 That's a hint.

00:08:59.000 So you know there's a hint.

00:09:01.000 You want me to go reach back to find any kind of act of terror or killing in the name of Islam? 0.99

00:09:06.000 I don't even need to turn a page.

00:09:07.000 It's right there.

00:09:08.000 It's on the cover of the book.

00:09:10.000 There's no time.

00:09:11.000 I don't even need a timer. 0.97

00:09:12.000 My Fitbit tells me about my pulse less frequently than Muslims kill people in the name of Islam. 1.00

00:09:22.000 2012, after another white supremacist slaughtered African-American churchgoers in South Carolina, after militia extremists occupied a federal wildlife refuge in Oregon, after radicalized military veterans murdered police officers in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and Dallas, after three members of a crusader militia were arrested for plotting to attack him...

00:09:38.000 Okay.

00:09:40.000 Something there sticks out.

00:09:41.000 Did you not notice that there's a sleight of hand there?

00:09:43.000 They just throw this all in.

00:09:45.000 First off, they throw it in under the premise because this recent guy's a white supremacist...

00:09:49.000 That's not necessarily...

00:09:50.000 Again, Bernie guy. 0.99

00:09:51.000 The guy seems like he was deeply mentally disturbed.

00:09:55.000 Baton Rouge, the guy was a Moorish sovereign citizen member. 0.97

00:09:59.000 By the way, he was also a black guy. 0.90

00:10:01.000 So pretty hard to be a white supremacist. 0.90

00:10:03.000 When they mention Dallas, the guy who carried out the Dallas cop killings was a member of the new Black Panther Party amidst the Black Lives Matter rhetoric.

00:10:12.000 Give them a peace prize.

00:10:13.000 Even the source that HuffPo uses, this one...

00:10:17.000 Point to just that.

00:10:19.000 So either...

00:10:20.000 But I'm a white supremacist, though!

00:10:21.000 But they're veterans!

00:10:22.000 He identifies, he identifies.

00:10:23.000 So they're right-winged, though.

00:10:24.000 That's exactly...

00:10:25.000 That's a good point.

00:10:26.000 Yeah.

00:10:26.000 Their implication here is that if you're a veteran, you must be some kind of an extremist or white supremacist.

00:10:31.000 And you look at that.

00:10:32.000 You look at Napolitano not long ago, remember, wanted to put tea-partiers, right-wingers, veterans on potential lists for domestic terrorism.

00:10:40.000 As though they're a greater risk.

00:10:40.000 Yeah.

00:10:41.000 And they always have to reach way, way back.

00:10:43.000 Timothy McVeigh, of course, has cited in the article.

00:10:45.000 Of course. 0.85

00:10:47.000 I know that people are just going to say, well, isn't it just hypocritical for you to say, well, mental health is a condition when it's not Islam, and then when it's Islam, you say it's terrorism? 0.90

00:10:55.000 No. 0.79

00:10:56.000 No, it's not.

00:10:56.000 And let me tell you why.

00:10:57.000 The reason that Huffington Post had to fabricate these stories as acts of white supremacy is because there aren't enough of them.

00:11:03.000 It's because...

00:11:05.000 Most of these killers, they had completely incoherent values to begin with. 0.58

00:11:09.000 So if you look at a guy who was a Bernie voter, he was a Black Lives Matter supporter, but then he hated Muslims and he was saying it was our country.

00:11:13.000 If you look at Dylan Roof, who was an atheist and he was a Confederate, but then he might have been a liberal.

00:11:17.000 You look at the Facebook pages.

00:11:18.000 These people have had completely...

00:11:19.000 There's no unifying set of ideas.

00:11:21.000 No, there's no unifying set of ideals whatsoever.

00:11:24.000 As contrasted with... 0.99

00:11:27.000 The prescription of killing non-Muslims in Islam as per the founder of the feast, Muhammad. 0.96

00:11:34.000 There's no conflicting ideas. 0.98

00:11:36.000 People aren't confused.

00:11:38.000 It's very clear.

00:11:39.000 And that's why they're killing people in record numbers. 0.73

00:11:41.000 So is it hypocritical for me to say, you know what, when someone says Allahu Akbar, I'm killing in the name of Islam, that's Islam. 0.99

00:11:46.000 And when someone else says I'm killing because my toaster said black people are bad... 1.00

00:11:51.000 He's mentally ill. 1.00

00:11:52.000 No, I don't think it's hypocritical. 1.00

00:11:53.000 No, it's completely fair.

00:11:55.000 And I don't see why this is...

00:11:56.000 I see this all the time on Twitter with these social justice warriors trying to point out these anomalies of things to say.

00:12:02.000 See, Christians do it too.

00:12:04.000 Right, no.

00:12:04.000 But it's so easy to debunk and say, look, okay, that's great.

00:12:09.000 He's a Christian who screwed up. 1.00

00:12:10.000 But if you look at his mission, you can easily debunk that with what we believe, what the Bible says. 0.99

00:12:15.000 Islam is kind of like, no, actually, that's pretty consistent.

00:12:18.000 And for the very last time, Timothy McVeigh was not a Christian! 0.92

00:12:21.000 No, he was not.

00:12:22.000 Okay, sorry, I just had to get that off my chest.

00:12:23.000 Wait, what was he, though?

00:12:24.000 I don't know.

00:12:25.000 For a little while, he was a little bit Catholic, and then he kind of leaned toward his own deal.

00:12:29.000 He even came back at the very end and said, no, I'm not.

00:12:31.000 I'm not a Christian.

00:12:32.000 Which I will say...

00:12:34.000 That was a class act for him to come out and say that.

00:12:36.000 He was like, you know what?

00:12:37.000 He cleared the air.

00:12:38.000 I don't think it's fair.

00:12:39.000 He didn't have to do that.

00:12:40.000 He didn't have to do that for us.

00:12:41.000 And he did.

00:12:41.000 No.

00:12:42.000 The most infuriating thing about this was that when I went to that page to read this article, I couldn't stop the video from playing.

00:12:48.000 Oh, on Huffington Post?

00:12:49.000 Yes, it was.

00:12:49.000 Huffington Post, I now hate you for another reason.

00:12:52.000 It's the autoplay video.

00:12:52.000 It plays and you can't push pause.

00:12:54.000 It says it's processing.

00:12:55.000 It's not processing, it's playing.

00:12:56.000 Buzzfeed and Vox and Huffalo.

00:12:57.000 It's that autoplay video. 1.00

00:12:58.000 It's a cheap way to get a play, jerks. 1.00

00:13:00.000 It is terrible. 1.00

00:13:00.000 Hey, speaking of cheap trick, Donald Trump tweeted out the word k-f-f-f-f-f. 1.00

00:13:07.000 So this is the national scandal right now. 0.87

00:13:10.000 Impeach him!

00:13:11.000 Get him out! 0.98

00:13:12.000 He misspelled coverage on Twitter.

00:13:14.000 Now, to be fair, it does worry me, A, that he doesn't have his autocorrect on his keyboard.

00:13:20.000 Some people do better without the autocorrect.

00:13:22.000 He needs the autocorrect.

00:13:24.000 It does worry me that not only did he not think to check his tweet before he put it out on Twitter, not only does it worry me that nobody caught it, but that they refused to fix it for a long time.

00:13:38.000 All of those things worry me.

00:13:39.000 I understand that indicative of a chaotic administration or some character issues, right?

00:13:45.000 I'm not concerned about it at all.

00:13:48.000 Do you know how many times I've done this?

00:13:49.000 Yes, I know, but that's because you're not the president of the United States. 0.97

00:13:53.000 It's true, but one follow-up like, damn autocorrect, like we've all done, would have been fine. 0.97

00:13:57.000 Right, but he didn't do that. 0.92

00:13:58.000 I bet you he sent out a memo trying to get people to convince the country that it's an actual word before he just concedes.

00:14:05.000 Like, ah, tell them it's a word.

00:14:06.000 It's from an old Slavic.

00:14:08.000 That's what he did.

00:14:09.000 He tweeted it out.

00:14:09.000 He said, anybody, who can tell me what the word means, basically, in a tweet?

00:14:13.000 Sean Spicer says...

00:14:14.000 I was like, oh, a small group of people know exactly what he meant.

00:14:18.000 That's the problem.

00:14:19.000 He proves all the jokes right.

00:14:21.000 Remember when Melania was slapping away his hand and all the jokes were, I'm sure he'll have some great excuse for this, that she was actually whispering away the West Nile virus from his hand instead of just saying, hey, they had a tiff on the plane and she wasn't having it.

00:14:35.000 Well, hey, people are focused on that and not the other failures that he's got, so hey, that's cool.

00:14:40.000 My point is, I'll give them that.

00:14:42.000 However, The left should take that and say, isn't it kind of concerning that these people are so careless?

00:14:47.000 Fine, if you talked about that, most people would probably agree.

00:14:49.000 The problem is that this has been, for at least now, an 18-hour news cycle, non-stop, top trends, CNN panels on experts and political strategists and correspondents coming in.

00:15:01.000 They got the graphs.

00:15:02.000 Yes, the graphs.

00:15:03.000 How do we do that?

00:15:04.000 There's a 2% likelihood that he would misspell context.

00:15:07.000 And really, if you look at the possible misspelling, see if he possibly actually missed the V here and there, he actually was trying to write Nazi!

00:15:16.000 They're making a national scandal out of an error that was likely made late at night at 12.30 a.m.

00:15:23.000 on the crapper.

00:15:25.000 Excuse me, Mr.

00:15:26.000 President?

00:15:26.000 Don't bother me.

00:15:27.000 Okay, frankly, I'm very busy.

00:15:30.000 Yes, I understand.

00:15:30.000 It's an urgent matter.

00:15:32.000 Okay, listen, go come back.

00:15:35.000 I have so much paperwork to do.

00:15:37.000 Frankly, the paperwork is amazing.

00:15:41.000 I understand, but sir, it's an urgent matter because you misspelled the word coverage on Twitter.

00:15:45.000 We'll have to get ahead of the game. 0.99

00:15:46.000 Oh, shit. 1.00

00:15:50.000 Ivanka bought the single ply again. 1.00

00:15:57.000 And no more trips to India, okay?

00:15:59.000 Put that on my calendar.

00:16:00.000 If they want...

00:16:00.000 I'm not going to India any...

00:16:02.000 They can send one of those son of a bitch ambassadors, okay? 1.00

00:16:09.000 Not that bad. 0.99

00:16:09.000 I'm going to change out this jacket in the middle of the break for a leather jacket that doesn't have 14 layers. 0.99

00:16:13.000 Are you, like, sweating your butt? 0.75

00:16:14.000 Oh my gosh, this is terrible. 0.99

00:16:16.000 It's worse than the Cosby sweater.

00:16:18.000 It was like a hockey bag.

00:16:21.000 Okay, to go macro here, we often do this on a Thursday.

00:16:25.000 I think this is important because a lot of people have been talking kind of about Venezuela.

00:16:28.000 And they...

00:16:29.000 Why are you laughing?

00:16:30.000 I don't know.

00:16:31.000 You said Venezuela. 1.00

00:16:33.000 You're a horrible human being. 1.00

00:16:33.000 That's a joke, right? 1.00

00:16:35.000 People are dying in the streets.

00:16:37.000 I'm laughing because of people who...

00:16:39.000 Well, where we're going with this segment.

00:16:41.000 You're laughing.

00:16:41.000 See, that's foreshadowing.

00:16:43.000 It's foreshadowing.

00:16:44.000 I screw up jokes.

00:16:45.000 We've been talking about Venezuela now for a while.

00:16:48.000 But people have been talking about it sort of in little snippets, and you don't get the whole picture, right?

00:16:52.000 Venezuela is collapsing, okay?

00:16:54.000 Venezuela is a disaster.

00:16:56.000 Like Naki Jared said, it's a joke.

00:16:57.000 And it's a shining beacon on a hill. 0.82

00:17:02.000 Of feces that is socialism.

00:17:03.000 It is an exact example of how socialism always ends up where it takes a country.

00:17:09.000 And the reason I want to talk about this today is because it's constant moving of goalposts.

00:17:14.000 Whether it's communism, socialism, big government, it's constant moving of, well, it'll work, we just, they didn't do it right.

00:17:19.000 They're doing it right, or we're going to do it right.

00:17:22.000 Well, here's the thing.

00:17:22.000 Let me make a case here.

00:17:24.000 I want to hang people on their words.

00:17:26.000 People sometimes need to be accountable.

00:17:27.000 People were praising Chavez And using Venezuela as their example for the success of socialism in the modern world.

00:17:35.000 This was the example they used.

00:17:38.000 Don't believe me?

00:17:39.000 Let's go to Noam Chomsky.

00:17:41.000 Darling intellectual love child of the left.

00:17:43.000 He was praising Venezuela for a long time.

00:17:46.000 Was actually asking all of his constituents to look to it and teach it as an example of successful socialism.

00:17:52.000 You had celebrities who were praising Chavez and mourning his death.

00:17:54.000 Jeremy Corbyn.

00:17:55.000 You had Michael Moore who claimed that Chavez actually reduced poverty, eliminated 75% of extreme poverty.

00:18:01.000 You have Oliver Stone.

00:18:02.000 And of course, there's Chavez's favorite pool boy-in-chief.

00:18:07.000 Who can forget the repeated claims and cries of Sean Penn?

00:18:13.000 He is one of the most important forces we've had on this planet.

00:18:22.000 And I will wish him nothing but that great strength he has shown over and over again.

00:18:29.000 I do it in love.

00:18:38.000 And I do it in gratitude.

00:18:40.000 Okay.

00:18:40.000 Yeah, the clip gets worse.

00:18:42.000 The clip gets worse.

00:18:43.000 I didn't believe it.

00:18:43.000 You told me that.

00:18:44.000 I watched.

00:18:45.000 Oh, gosh.

00:18:45.000 Yeah.

00:18:45.000 It gets worse.

00:18:46.000 You can go and watch the whole video.

00:18:48.000 He condemns Americans who act as though he's a dictator.

00:18:48.000 He praises him.

00:18:51.000 He says, this is one of the most beautiful elections.

00:18:53.000 These are people who are being pulled out of poverty.

00:18:55.000 How dare you criticize Chavez, my dear friend.

00:18:58.000 And no one in the world has been more inspirational.

00:19:01.000 Yeah, and El Chapo's his great brother.

00:19:03.000 Yes, yes.

00:19:05.000 They both wear fantastic shirts.

00:19:07.000 The results?

00:19:08.000 Well, let's look at the results of Mr.

00:19:10.000 People are starving.

00:19:10.000 Inspirational.

00:19:11.000 There's rioting in the streets.

00:19:12.000 Three different university studies have shown that the average Venezuelan this year has lost 19 pounds.

00:19:18.000 It's a great diet.

00:19:19.000 19 pounds.

00:19:20.000 It works every time.

00:19:21.000 And here's what's important, because now you'll have all of it.

00:19:24.000 It's kind of like the people who say, well, actually, no, I was never on board with that version of socialism.

00:19:29.000 Now people will say, well, no, I, I, well, Venezuela, it's because of Goldman Sachs is having to notice it today.

00:19:34.000 It's because of capitalism in other countries.

00:19:36.000 It's because of interference.

00:19:37.000 It doesn't, no, I was never on board with the, with the Venezuelan socialism.

00:19:40.000 That's not a fair example.

00:19:42.000 So they're wrong there.

00:19:42.000 Okay.

00:19:44.000 Put that one on the board.

00:19:45.000 Okay.

00:19:46.000 But let's go to the examples that they point to right now, because I want you to hang me on my words.

00:19:50.000 I want you to timestamp this, come back and fact check all of us.

00:19:54.000 Now they're moving on from Venezuela.

00:19:56.000 Bernie Sanders did this in his campaign.

00:19:57.000 They've pivoted.

00:19:58.000 So they point to all of the Nordic, the Scandinavian countries, places like Denmark and Finland, right?

00:20:03.000 That's what Bernie Sanders said.

00:20:04.000 Well, actually, no, no, no.

00:20:05.000 That's the example.

00:20:06.000 These are the examples.

00:20:07.000 Europe, you know, these are the places where socialism has worked to a degree.

00:20:11.000 Okay.

00:20:12.000 Let's remember that.

00:20:13.000 Now, they're not as bad as Venezuela yet.

00:20:16.000 But I predict that they're all going to collapse in some form of similar fashion.

00:20:20.000 Let me paint it for you this way.

00:20:22.000 Socialism has never, ever worked, okay?

00:20:24.000 And it hasn't worked for a few reasons.

00:20:26.000 We'll get into the moral reprehensibility of it and how it just goes completely counter to the human condition, unlike free enterprise.

00:20:30.000 It doesn't harness the power of the human condition.

00:20:33.000 It actually stifles it.

00:20:34.000 But, outside of that, there are three main reasons.

00:20:38.000 Number one is freedom.

00:20:39.000 Of course, socialism removes, systematically, freedoms until you have none left.

00:20:43.000 Then, two, socialism invariably throughout history has always harmed countries economically, domestically.

00:20:49.000 And then finally, it has reduced these countries to completely insignificant pissants in the form of global impactors.

00:20:57.000 Socialist countries don't provide a whole lot to the rest of the world.

00:21:00.000 So let's go to the first portion.

00:21:02.000 Freedom.

00:21:03.000 Well, let's point to these countries that people, okay, there is no freedom in Europe.

00:21:07.000 Germany?

00:21:07.000 You don't have freedom of speech.

00:21:08.000 It's not a part of their law.

00:21:10.000 Certainly in the UK, we talked about a guy who was arrested for singing Kung Fu Fighting.

00:21:13.000 Do you have any idea what would happen to us?

00:21:16.000 In these countries, Germany has strict no shopping laws.

00:21:20.000 And not what you can do, but what you are not allowed to do as a business.

00:21:24.000 You're not allowed to open during these hours.

00:21:25.000 You're not allowed to shop in these locations or open your shops.

00:21:29.000 It is unbelievably stifling.

00:21:31.000 And, of course, with the UK, here's something.

00:21:33.000 We're talking about freedom.

00:21:34.000 There's no actual common law right to self-defense.

00:21:36.000 In the UK, it's illegal to even purchase a product which is made to cause injury.

00:21:41.000 Yeah.

00:21:44.000 Let alone fact.

00:21:45.000 Doesn't stop the people who are really looking to cause injuries.

00:21:48.000 No.

00:21:48.000 But it does stop the law-abiding citizen who says, Oh dear, I won't buy that frying pan because I'd have a good mind to whack this robot over the head with it.

00:21:56.000 Please rape my wife. 1.00

00:21:57.000 Yeah, let's subsidize rapists. 1.00

00:21:59.000 But ban the tools to prevent rape.

00:21:59.000 Yeah.

00:22:02.000 The police even cautioned against using a dye that you could spray.

00:22:05.000 Now, don't put it in the eyes, because that could then be intended to cause harm, and even though the product doesn't cause harm, you did.

00:22:09.000 If you do use this dye, it could sting, causing poor eyes at a temporary moment.

00:22:15.000 Walk a mile in his shoes. 0.72

00:22:17.000 Remove the raging erection, of course, but walk a mile in his shoes, and you'll find it's not quite easy with that dye in your face. 1.00

00:22:23.000 By the way, would you like to rape me also? 1.00

00:22:24.000 Sure. 1.00

00:22:26.000 Bond, here is a condom.

00:22:26.000 Mr.

00:22:28.000 You will need this.

00:22:29.000 Someone should have done that, though.

00:22:31.000 Because Bond would just be walking out just riddled with venereal diseases.

00:22:35.000 Okay.

00:22:35.000 So, freedom.

00:22:36.000 There is no freedom.

00:22:37.000 Socialism cannot lend itself to freedom because it values a collective over the power of the individual.

00:22:41.000 Economic outcome.

00:22:41.000 Alright.

00:22:43.000 Well, again, we see what happens with Venezuela, we see what happens with all of these other socialist countries, and they move the goalposts all the time.

00:22:48.000 They tried to point to Canada for socialized healthcare for a long time, until they tried to move it.

00:22:52.000 So right now, what's really popular is to point to a lot of these Scandinavian or these Norwegian countries.

00:22:57.000 Denmark is a great example they point to.

00:22:59.000 Denmark has suffered immeasurably.

00:23:00.000 Denmark has had unbelievable growing pains as far as their economy.

00:23:04.000 And if you want to talk about income inequality, Denmark has put taxes that are absolutely so stifling, people can't even, average middle class citizens can't afford a car due to 180% tax.

00:23:16.000 180% tax on cars in Denmark.

00:23:16.000 Jeez!

00:23:19.000 And Bernie Sanders said, 180% tax is a human right!

00:23:24.000 It's a human right.

00:23:25.000 I know some people are going to argue over which Bernie is more accurate.

00:23:28.000 Godfrey.

00:23:29.000 But it's gotten to the point where socialists here, because they had to correct course in Denmark, they realized their socialist economy was not working, people weren't working.

00:23:37.000 The Danish Prime Minister specifically said, because of Bernie Sanders and his ilk, stop calling a socialist.

00:23:43.000 We aren't that anymore.

00:23:45.000 We are moving toward a market economy out of necessity.

00:23:49.000 It's like you misgendered him.

00:23:51.000 He's a little triggered.

00:23:52.000 We do not identify as socialist anymore, okay?

00:23:54.000 Good lord.

00:23:55.000 Yes, we've gotten it wrong for centuries, but we think we're going to get right for the next decade.

00:23:58.000 Like France. 0.86

00:23:58.000 We'll change it up. 0.86

00:23:59.000 Then we'll go back.

00:24:00.000 European youth, their unemployment is 40-50%.

00:24:04.000 Europe is just, they're drowning in the cost of welfare bills. 0.75

00:24:07.000 The World Bank actually, this is a quote, Europe accounts for a massive 58% in global welfare spending while accounting for 7.2% of the total population of the world.

00:24:19.000 That is a huge problem.

00:24:21.000 And if you look at their GDP spent on welfare benefits in certain countries like Greece or places like Sweden, where a disproportionate number of able-bodied men do not work.

00:24:29.000 If you look at Sweden, which is one of the main economic drivers in the new industrialized world, as soon as they put in their new form of socialism, you look 1970s onward, it's inconsequential.

00:24:39.000 They're no longer on the radar of the global economy.

00:24:41.000 Not as they were.

00:24:44.000 And here's something, too, that's really important.

00:24:46.000 Before we get to the global positive impact, they talk about income inequality is eliminated.

00:24:50.000 Well, okay.

00:24:51.000 Do we believe that government, as a general rule, tends to go above and beyond, or do they tend to cut corners, right?

00:24:56.000 Even if you're a Democrat or Republican, what do you tend...

00:24:58.000 Do you think government...

00:24:59.000 There's a reason it's called bureaucracy.

00:25:01.000 Let's simplify this.

00:25:02.000 Have you been to the post office?

00:25:04.000 Yes.

00:25:04.000 Have you been to the DMV? You gotta take a number, though!

00:25:08.000 I did yesterday.

00:25:10.000 So...

00:25:10.000 They're not good anymore.

00:25:12.000 You gotta take another one.

00:25:12.000 They're not good anymore.

00:25:14.000 You're closing in 20 minutes.

00:25:15.000 This is going to be bad.

00:25:16.000 This is going to be bad.

00:25:16.000 Someone's going to come in here shooting and everyone's going to act like they don't understand.

00:25:18.000 They're going to say they didn't see it coming.

00:25:19.000 I saw it coming.

00:25:23.000 They say, what's the easiest way?

00:25:24.000 If you believe the government cut, you know, they cut corners.

00:25:27.000 What's the easiest corner to cut if you're looking to reduce income inequality?

00:25:30.000 Is it to create more wealth?

00:25:33.000 Is it to make everybody richer?

00:25:34.000 Or is it a little bit easier just to tax more people, take their stuff, give it to someone else so that people are more equally poor?

00:25:41.000 That's what happens always in socialist economies.

00:25:44.000 People can say, well, there's more income disparity in the United States.

00:25:48.000 Okay, if you have 10% of a $1 million pie, that's less fair, but wouldn't you rather have that than 50% of a $1,000 pie?

00:25:59.000 If you could have, let's say,.001% of the total American economy's revenue, wouldn't you take that over 2% of Venezuela's?

00:26:10.000 The point is, capitalism-free enterprise, we've talked about this, creates a bigger pie.

00:26:15.000 But because of people's selfish nature and selfish bureaucrats looking to cut corners, trying to appease them, it's a lot easier to say, look what he has more Yeah, but his ten is worth a fraction of what it would be if you had less and you allowed him to make more.

00:26:33.000 Socialist governments do not create more wealth.

00:26:36.000 They remove it.

00:26:37.000 And as you see with Venezuela, then they blame the business owners. 0.51

00:26:40.000 For leaving!

00:26:41.000 Yeah, and by the way, invariably, your 50% of the pie will be worth much less.

00:26:46.000 Yes.

00:26:47.000 Right.

00:26:47.000 Fast forward 10 years.

00:26:48.000 In socialist countries.

00:26:49.000 It's like diluting the stock in a company.

00:26:51.000 They run out of toilet paper, like in Venezuela.

00:26:53.000 Yes.

00:26:53.000 They don't have toilet paper anymore.

00:26:54.000 They don't have toilet paper.

00:26:55.000 And by the way, it's not that extreme, obviously, in places like Denmark or places like Germany or places, you know, and we are talking about very small, entirely homogenous populations.

00:27:03.000 They don't use Sweden anymore because of already.

00:27:03.000 Yeah.

00:27:06.000 Uh-oh.

00:27:08.000 But invariably, that will happen.

00:27:08.000 Awkward.

00:27:10.000 The collapse, the kind of collapse you see with Greece, the kind of collapse you're seeing with Venezuela.

00:27:13.000 Again, these are places that were always heralded from the left as, look at these, look at socialism, it can work.

00:27:20.000 And then they switch their tune.

00:27:21.000 And then Greece happens.

00:27:22.000 And then Greece happens.

00:27:23.000 This is what it ends up.

00:27:24.000 And then it comes down to global, especially for the ultimate irony for the left is they're globalists.

00:27:30.000 Well, there is no more global positive impact when you become a socialist country.

00:27:33.000 For example, Swedes right now, they're purchasing more and more private insurance in Sweden because the government is so bad at it.

00:27:40.000 I know I shouldn't need to tell you about Cuban hospitals, but I do because Michael Moore said they were actually something to revere.

00:27:46.000 They're obviously terrible.

00:27:47.000 So if you look at...

00:27:49.000 Here's the thing.

00:27:50.000 If a government of a country is completely incapable of providing rudimentary health care to its citizens, okay?

00:27:57.000 It's kind of like on a plane.

00:27:58.000 Put your oxygen mask on first so you can help somebody else.

00:28:03.000 They don't have any oxygen.

00:28:05.000 They have no capability of getting it.

00:28:06.000 They're not going to help anybody else on the plane.

00:28:09.000 If you can't provide basic services to your people, or even allow them to create an economy that allows them to afford these services, you have no chance of helping the rest of the world with Curing diseases, creating modern medical advancements, technological advancements.

00:28:23.000 It's because of free enterprise in the United States that you're able to watch this either on your television or the internet or on your smartphone and you go pop some popcorn in your microwave, turn on a light bulb and maybe flip over to Seinfeld.

00:28:34.000 It's because of the Unite-- oh, also, you don't have polio or rickets.

00:28:38.000 You're welcome.

00:28:39.000 And that's because if not, if there's something in there that wasn't directly from the United States, certainly from a free enterprise capitalist system.

00:28:47.000 Capitalism, free enterprise, doesn't just help those who live in the country under its umbrella.

00:28:51.000 It is the only way to positively impact a global economy.

00:28:54.000 Now, the final step with this is, even if none of this were true, even if you could point to any example of socialism working, of people doing better, of income inequality being eliminated and everyone being wealthy, of healthcare parameters being better. 0.98

00:29:08.000 Even if your country wasn't sucking on the teat of every other country as you suck on the teat of your country. 0.98

00:29:12.000 Let's take this, a socialist country that... 0.99

00:29:16.000 Has its own military that's powerful enough that they don't have to rely on another country like, say, the United States.

00:29:20.000 A socialist country that has such a booming economy where they have a surplus and they can tax their citizens at a rate that is fair.

00:29:26.000 A socialist country that is so far along the economic trail that they are innovating and willfully giving that and distributing it and benefiting every other country in the world.

00:29:35.000 Let's assume that there's a socialist country that exists like that.

00:29:37.000 Guess what?

00:29:38.000 It still doesn't change the fact that it was built on theft.

00:29:41.000 It was built on a crime. 1.00

00:29:43.000 Even if you take that money and you give it to a charity, but you took that money by punching someone in the face and holding him at gunpoint, you, my friend, are an immoral, reprehensible bastard. 0.99

00:29:55.000 And we are going to call you on it, just like we are with these celebrities who pointed to Venezuela. 0.98

00:30:01.000 Well, that house of cards came toppling down.

00:30:03.000 How long do you think it's going to happen for these other countries they're pointing to now?

00:30:06.000 Place your bets.

00:30:06.000 Tweet me at S. Crowder and him at Not Gay Jared.

00:30:09.000 Ignore the stupid uniform. 1.00

00:30:10.000 We have Governor Mike Huckabee coming up next. 1.00

00:30:11.000 I'm ditching this jacket.

00:30:13.000 And we're good.

00:30:31.000 That's it.

00:30:32.000 Okay.

00:30:32.000 Jared, is that a minute and a half?

00:30:34.000 A minute and a half.

00:30:35.000 Okay, I'm going to go to the bathroom. 1.00

00:30:39.000 Shit, shit. 1.00

00:30:41.000 Talk to me next, right? 1.00

00:30:42.000 Uh, yes.

00:30:42.000 Why don't I get more face time on this show?

00:30:56.000 All the feedback says the fans like me more than knock A.J. Why did I always give him so much face time when people find him annoying and they only liked him the one time invited him in the dress?

00:31:09.000 Why the lights so bright on in here?

00:31:12.000 Why does Steven Cooper so cold?

00:31:16.000 Why don't more people join my club?

00:31:19.000 Don't they know that there's a support through my club that allow my master, Steven, to fix my leg?

00:31:25.000 Maybe if they knew that my club would support my health, and my leg, and all my teachers, they would join more.

00:31:33.000 Plus, it's pretty affordable for 69 for students and military, but...

00:31:37.000 Well, I know I'm just a dog.

00:31:40.000 Oh boy, that uncle, boy, did not get hurt.

00:32:06.000 Alright, there we go.

00:32:07.000 I had to take off the glass because I realized I was cleaning the glasses.

00:32:09.000 They do get foggy.

00:32:11.000 You just take them off.

00:32:12.000 Especially when you're...

00:32:14.000 Dive bombing your plane to certain to death.

00:32:16.000 Very glad to have our next guest on.

00:32:18.000 He's been on the show quite a few times.

00:32:19.000 I used to work with him when I was there at Fox News, do his show.

00:32:22.000 One of the genuinely nicest guys I've worked with behind the scenes.

00:32:26.000 And I say that because I have a big mouth.

00:32:28.000 And I've been very open about when people are horrible behind the scenes.

00:32:31.000 This guy is pretty much what you see is what you get.

00:32:34.000 At Gov Mike Huckabee.

00:32:35.000 Thank you for being here, Governor.

00:32:37.000 Well, thank you, Stephen, and I'm just so delighted that I'm not having to play the role of the kamikaze pilot today.

00:32:42.000 I've been down that road a few times.

00:32:44.000 It's not much fun crashing into a carrier, so you're welcome.

00:32:50.000 Well, I don't think you take a road to a carrier, but it's a flight trajectory, but either way, the sentiment remains.

00:32:55.000 It's a glide path that does not end well, to put it that way.

00:32:58.000 Yes, exactly.

00:33:00.000 And, okay, well, speaking of which, the Paris Accord, that's why I wanted to have you on.

00:33:04.000 It seemed as though this was just tailor-made for you.

00:33:06.000 The Paris Accord, no-go, polling out.

00:33:11.000 A lot of people just say, oh my gosh, how good, you don't have to do something about climate change.

00:33:15.000 Yesterday we went into the ramifications of it, how many American jobs would be lost, what it would do to third world countries, the amount of actual deaths that would be observable.

00:33:22.000 So people can go back and watch that.

00:33:23.000 What is your sentiment on this?

00:33:26.000 Is this a huge victory, minor victory?

00:33:30.000 Governor Mike Huckabee has the floor.

00:33:32.000 Well, let me say this, Stephen, to quote a great line from the greatest love story of all time on film, Casablanca.

00:33:38.000 We'll always have Paris.

00:33:40.000 Look, this whole nonsense about how this was going to save the world, save the planet.

00:33:46.000 No, it really wasn't.

00:33:47.000 The U.S. has taken a number of steps to reduce carbon emissions.

00:33:53.000 And while most of the pompous anchors on television, including Fox, will tell everybody that there is no doubt There's an absolute of the science here.

00:34:06.000 There really isn't.

00:34:07.000 And very credible scientists have said, look, it may be that we are seeing an acceleration of global warming, and it could be because of various human factors, and it could be contributing to it.

00:34:17.000 But the true answer is, we don't know the full extent, and it's not quite as cut and dried.

00:34:22.000 Now, let me take a quick side trip.

00:34:25.000 There's something in the scientific world that is cut and dried, and that's when life begins.

00:34:29.000 Life begins at conception.

00:34:31.000 So the same people who say that there are deniers of science and they're not willing to accept science, they've yet to accept the science of biology when it comes to when human life is created.

00:34:42.000 So I just find the arrogant, snobbery, the incredible sense of smugness that approaches this is very off-putting.

00:34:54.000 Let's assume for a moment that everything that the left says about global warming and that the science is absolutely correct.

00:35:03.000 The fact is the United States, as I said, has been making significant strides, far more so than China, far more so than Russia, than the Middle Eastern countries.

00:35:13.000 So we have contributed far less to carbon emissions than other countries.

00:35:19.000 And for us to have entered into this, and here's my simple point.

00:35:22.000 If this was such a fantastic deal, why didn't President Obama take it to the Senate and sell it?

00:35:30.000 Because after all, isn't he the most skillful salesman in the history of the world?

00:35:34.000 A man who got a Nobel Peace Prize before he was barely sworn in as president because of the anticipation of what he was going to do?

00:35:42.000 So he's that good.

00:35:44.000 Then he should have taken this to the Senate, made it to the treaty.

00:35:46.000 It would have been very difficult for Donald Trump to have undone a treaty.

00:35:50.000 Didn't do that because he knew that maybe the science was not on his...

00:35:55.000 It's a bogus deal.

00:35:57.000 Well, first off, when we talk about science, I think the litmus test is where are you on the idea of 72 genders and intersectional quantum physics as is being taught at the University of Arizona.

00:36:06.000 So I think you still might be a flat earther yet, Mr.

00:36:09.000 We all need to learn.

00:36:09.000 Huckabee.

00:36:10.000 I do believe that there's an X and a Y chromosome, and that really determines are you male or female.

00:36:16.000 You've got some nerve on you.

00:36:17.000 I think it's fairly clear they're male and female.

00:36:21.000 There's a binary choice.

00:36:23.000 Now, there may be some people who have various issues.

00:36:27.000 I've known people who have had total surgery, complete reassignment.

00:36:31.000 But this idea that I can just think myself into something and identify with it, You know, I'm going to think myself into having paid all my taxes before I pay any next year, and I'm going to identify as a full-blown taxpayer.

00:36:45.000 You sound like Bernie Sanders.

00:36:48.000 Yes, you do.

00:36:49.000 You sound like Bernie Sanders.

00:36:51.000 You just convinced yourself.

00:36:53.000 Sorry.

00:36:55.000 Oh gosh, Bernie Sanders.

00:36:57.000 We have the actuary tables because the Young Turks want him to run. 1.00

00:37:00.000 It's over 25% likelihood that he would die in his first term.

00:37:03.000 Now the talk is Joe Biden's going to run and he's going to be a year older, so we could put the Bernie too old to rest now, as the chink says. 1.00

00:37:09.000 Let it never be said that the DNC is the party of old white people.

00:37:13.000 Let me just say that I'm refreshed by this notion that the Democrats are reaching deep out into the future to get their bench.

00:37:21.000 And the average age of their candidates between Hillary and Bernie and Elizabeth Warren and Joe Biden is going to be somewhere north of 75.

00:37:29.000 So I think that it just shows that if you're a young person and you're looking for someone to lead you into the future, why wouldn't you pick somebody?

00:37:37.000 You know, who is probably closer in behavior to the people at the beginning of life drooling and wetting themselves than it would be for the people who are at the peak of their lives.

00:37:49.000 Yes, that's true.

00:37:49.000 Also, if you put Bernie Sanders in a rocker, he just screams at the wall incessantly.

00:37:54.000 So he's very, very similar.

00:37:55.000 It is sad to watch.

00:37:56.000 He didn't change much.

00:37:58.000 Can you imagine his mom?

00:37:59.000 I don't know.

00:37:59.000 He just keeps screaming that rattles are a human right.

00:38:03.000 So with this deal, a thing that a lot of people don't understand, let's assume for a second the science is in.

00:38:10.000 Let's assume all of this.

00:38:11.000 Let's assume global warming, humans are the sole cause of it, and it's going to be a catastrophe.

00:38:17.000 Let's assume that NASA didn't just come out and say, actually, we're going to have a half a degree cooling over 50 years, but then it's going to go back to a degree of warming over 100 years.

00:38:23.000 Let's assume all of this.

00:38:25.000 Is there any definitive proof?

00:38:28.000 Again, we're talking about science, right?

00:38:29.000 So science needs to be something that you observe that you can test either in some laboratory or recreate the result.

00:38:34.000 Is there any definitive proof that this accord would do anything to change climate change?

00:38:41.000 No, I don't think there is.

00:38:43.000 And that's part of the reason I think the president made the right decision by saying we're going to pull out of this accord.

00:38:47.000 He didn't say we're going to see if we can trash the environment or we're going to see if we can pollute the air and the water and make You're going to hear that from the left.

00:38:56.000 You'll hear that from some of the globalists.

00:38:58.000 But that's not what he's saying.

00:38:59.000 He's simply saying, we also have to have people who have jobs, who have an income, who have a way to put bread on their table and clothes on their back.

00:39:08.000 And the Paris Accords were going to have such an impact, particularly on poor people.

00:39:12.000 And I find this interesting, Stephen.

00:39:14.000 Liberals always say they're the champions of the poor, but when you raise people's electricity rates by 20% and people can barely pay their electricity at the bottom of the economic food chain, how is that helping them?

00:39:25.000 When you make it so that people lose jobs and employers have to cut back on the number of jobs they offer, so that means more people out of work, greater levels of unemployment, more dependency upon government rather than dependence upon their own industrial activities of hard work, How does that help poor people come out of the hole?

00:39:46.000 And I'm going to be very blunt with you.

00:39:47.000 I grew up poor, so I know a little about this.

00:39:50.000 I get so tired of people whose last names are Kennedy and Kerry and Rockefeller, all of whom are on the Senate Energy Committee, who lectured me one time when I was testifying before them when I was governor, and they were lecturing me about poverty.

00:40:06.000 And finally, after a few minutes of this, I just paused and smiled, and I said, I've got to tell you, this is a big day for me because I never, ever thought in my life I'd be sitting in front of three billionaires listening as a kid who grew up in a little rent house, never understanding that I would one day be lectured about the nuances of poverty by the three of you guys.

00:40:28.000 Right.

00:40:29.000 Well, it's like people being prescribed how to run an economy and how the government can take control of manufacturing and distribution by people like Marx who've never actually worked a job.

00:40:38.000 Many people have no idea that these people never contributed to an economy.

00:40:41.000 Whenever Governor Mike Huckabee says, I'm going to be blunt for a minute, I'm always waiting for him to just one day be like, son of a!

00:40:46.000 But it's just always very polite.

00:40:48.000 So the blunt is really just, let me be very eloquent here.

00:40:50.000 Well, then Salon would go after him, and that would just be a real career killer.

00:40:54.000 Yes!

00:40:54.000 Salon went after Governor Mike Huckabee for May.

00:40:56.000 I don't remember what the joke was.

00:40:57.000 Listen, some of your jokes land, and you would be the first to say, like, some of them don't.

00:41:01.000 It wasn't your finest material.

00:41:02.000 I read it, I was like, eh.

00:41:03.000 But I'm going, you defended a serial pedophile, Salon.com, three times!

00:41:09.000 Three times! 0.75

00:41:09.000 What hell, hell universe did I somehow step into where you get to take the moral high ground with Governor Mike Huckabee? 0.75

00:41:16.000 So, do you read them regularly and comment?

00:41:18.000 Is it on your radar?

00:41:20.000 They don't like you.

00:41:21.000 Comment to the people who don't deserve my time or attention.

00:41:24.000 I'll read a sampling from time to time, but mostly, I tell people, I do my tweets for my amusement and their amazement.

00:41:32.000 And if they're not amazed, then they're probably not amused.

00:41:35.000 If they're not amused, they shouldn't follow me.

00:41:37.000 Here's what I find funny.

00:41:38.000 I'll send something out, and immediately, within seconds, somebody will say, you're irrelevant.

00:41:42.000 Nobody's paying attention to you.

00:41:44.000 Delete your account. 1.00

00:41:45.000 I'm thinking, well, idiot, you're paying attention to me. 1.00

00:41:47.000 So much so that within seconds of my tweet, you're jumping all over it. 1.00

00:41:51.000 So I must mean something to you.

00:41:53.000 And last time I checked, Congress had not passed a law that required anybody to follow me on Twitter.

00:41:59.000 It's totally voluntary.

00:42:00.000 Yes.

00:42:01.000 If you really want to throw them for a loop, just have, like, put up a gif of someone flipping the middle finger.

00:42:05.000 Like, is this, did Mike, did Governor Mike Huckabee get hacked?

00:42:07.000 Who is this?

00:42:08.000 Here's the thing, they went after Ted Cruz for a Twitter joke recently, too.

00:42:12.000 I really think they hate, they hate so much when conservatives look like regular people.

00:42:16.000 Well, you know what?

00:42:17.000 To the point where we have actually, so we have bits on this show, and remember our 911 call?

00:42:21.000 Yeah.

00:42:22.000 So we did a 911 call.

00:42:23.000 On our show, it does pretty well.

00:42:24.000 We have a really big demo audience for a conservative audience.

00:42:27.000 Well, it got many, many, many millions of plays because someone cut just the sketch from the show with no accreditation to us.

00:42:34.000 And all of a sudden, when people didn't know it came from a conservative, it was mega, mega viral.

00:42:38.000 So the comedy stands on its own.

00:42:40.000 But then when they just said, well, you're not funny because you're conservative.

00:42:42.000 It's the common attack they use.

00:42:44.000 With Donald Trump and Jimmy Fallon, they didn't like People, like conservatives, feeling like they are relatable.

00:42:50.000 Everyday people.

00:42:50.000 Yeah.

00:42:50.000 Just like, you know, funny, making jokes, cracking.

00:42:53.000 They'd rather us be really stiff and rigid and...

00:42:55.000 Yeah.

00:42:56.000 ...and unrelatable.

00:42:57.000 Which is funny, because you were...

00:42:58.000 I mean, you...

00:42:58.000 I don't know how well you know Seth Meyers, but during that first campaign, you were on SNL, and I remember you had this hilarious bit.

00:43:04.000 Not good, Jared.

00:43:04.000 You were too young.

00:43:05.000 But you had a bit where he was still running for president.

00:43:08.000 It was about superdelegates, and Governor Huckabee didn't know that superdelegates were only for Democrats.

00:43:12.000 It was really funny.

00:43:13.000 The timing was perfect.

00:43:14.000 So...

00:43:15.000 At that point, because let's be honest, at that point there was no mathematical possibility for you to win, all of a sudden they were like, oh, Governor Mike Huckabee's funny. 0.99

00:43:23.000 But if you're a threat, he sucks, he's not funny. 0.95

00:43:25.000 Have you noticed that pattern? 0.99

00:43:26.000 Sure.

00:43:27.000 I mean, that's part of the deal.

00:43:28.000 But I find that liberals, for the most part, don't have much of a sense of humor unless they're making fun of people that disagree with them.

00:43:34.000 They don't have any self-depreciating humor.

00:43:34.000 Right.

00:43:36.000 They simply are devoid of that.

00:43:38.000 Look, I know that some of my jokes—you mentioned this, Stephen, so I'll confess.

00:43:42.000 Some of them don't always land.

00:43:43.000 Some of them are a lot like the North Korean missile program, you know?

00:43:48.000 Some make it off the launch pad and some don't.

00:43:50.000 Right.

00:43:51.000 No, hold on a second.

00:43:51.000 That is a horrible analogy, and that is to shortchange any of your jokes that do work.

00:43:55.000 I don't think they've ever had one function, Governor Huckabee.

00:43:58.000 Okay, well, but the fact is, I think conservatives, for the most part, are happy people.

00:44:04.000 You know, we kind of know who we are.

00:44:06.000 We're cool with that.

00:44:07.000 And we know that a lot of people don't agree with us and even hate us for it, but we don't lose sleep over it, and we don't get all worked up, and we don't have to be on medication over it.

00:44:17.000 Well, some people are, but that's just because, again, we're happy and we like to have a good time.

00:44:17.000 Yeah.

00:44:22.000 Governor Huckabee, it adds to it.

00:44:24.000 You never drink on a bad day.

00:44:26.000 That's what we always hear.

00:44:27.000 That is the rule.

00:44:28.000 Governor Huckabee, so you said, you know, we were talking about this right before air, during the break.

00:44:31.000 You said this administration is kind of one for two because we have the Paris Accord.

00:44:36.000 Great.

00:44:37.000 But you were obviously a big advocate for the, you know, United States Israeli embassy, and that's not going through.

00:44:42.000 Explain to people who may not be aware of what it is we're talking about and what the president's policy is regarding that right now.

00:44:49.000 Stephen, a brief history.

00:44:51.000 Back in 1995, the Senate voted 95 to 2.

00:44:57.000 To officially move the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and recognize Jerusalem as the legitimate ancestral capital of the Jewish state.

00:45:05.000 It really was not even controversial at the time.

00:45:08.000 There was a provision that was stuck in there.

00:45:10.000 And the provision was that the president, every six months, could sign a waiver that would delay the move of the embassy for that six-month period.

00:45:18.000 Well, since 1995, that's 22 years, every six months a president has signed the waiver.

00:45:23.000 Bill Clinton did it, George Bush did it, Barack Obama did it.

00:45:27.000 Donald Trump campaigned on the promise that he would move the embassy.

00:45:31.000 So, Frank, I thought he might do it on January 21st.

00:45:35.000 And I strongly recommended to him that he did, and I felt that that would have been a powerful statement to the world.

00:45:41.000 He didn't.

00:45:42.000 He was in Jerusalem last week.

00:45:44.000 I was there as well for this 50th anniversary, the jubilee anniversary of the reunification of Jerusalem.

00:45:50.000 Great opportunity to announce the embassy coming.

00:45:53.000 He didn't.

00:45:54.000 A lot of disappointment in Israel over that.

00:45:56.000 They really thought, why do you come on the 50th anniversary if you don't acknowledge Jerusalem as the capital?

00:46:01.000 Okay.

00:46:02.000 Comes back July.

00:46:03.000 June 1st is the deadline.

00:46:05.000 That was today.

00:46:06.000 And he signed the waiver.

00:46:07.000 So it's, you know, six months.

00:46:09.000 It's so tossed out there.

00:46:11.000 Two questions I was going to ask.

00:46:12.000 Sorry, before we, two questions.

00:46:14.000 A, why is that so important to the Jewish people, to people out there who may not understand?

00:46:17.000 I mean, if they say, well, it's, is it just symbolic?

00:46:20.000 And then number two, why do you think President Trump signed that waiver when he promised that he wouldn't?

00:46:26.000 Well, I think it's important.

00:46:27.000 It's not just important to Jewish people.

00:46:29.000 I think it may be as important, if not more so, to evangelicals in the United States, people that were the reason Donald Trump is president.

00:46:36.000 And that's why I don't think he fully comprehends that support for Israel among evangelicals ranks right up there with pro-life as a non-negotiable.

00:46:47.000 And it's a very important issue.

00:46:49.000 Now, people say, well, why?

00:46:51.000 Because if we don't recognize that there is a special place geographically that the Jewish people have laid claim to as their ancestral eternal homeland, and Jerusalem, the only people for whom it has ever been a capital, the Jews, ever, the only people for whom it has ever been a Right.

00:47:09.000 But it was their capital 3,800 years ago.

00:47:12.000 And it's the only country in the world where we don't locate our embassy in the designated capital of that country.

00:47:20.000 So it's not symbolic.

00:47:21.000 It is substantive.

00:47:22.000 And it's a way in which we say that we don't just give lip service and respect Israel, but we actually respect them and we respect their capital.

00:47:31.000 Well, I think that's important.

00:47:32.000 First, I think that's important for people to note, because we will have people, a lot of folks who watch the show who are libertarians who say, well, I really am against this idea, this foreign policy of putting Israel's interest above our own.

00:47:42.000 And I understand that.

00:47:43.000 I don't think we do that.

00:47:44.000 But I also think that you could be more of a non-interventionist saying, all right, let's stop funding everybody in the Middle East, which would mean...

00:47:50.000 Less to Israel. 0.74

00:47:51.000 But if you add up cumulatively what we give to countries who want to wipe them off the face of the map, it could be a net positive. 0.80

00:47:56.000 It's totally a tenable position for someone to think that and also understand that, by the way, yeah, they should be allowed to have their capital in Jerusalem.

00:48:05.000 Next one, why do you think President Donald Trump didn't?

00:48:08.000 Because the left will obviously, even though they couldn't care less about Israel, they'll try to be saying, well, it's because of his business interests now with people who don't like Israel.

00:48:14.000 That's what they will run with.

00:48:16.000 Yeah, it all goes back to Russia and Assad and Yeah, or Saudi Arabia.

00:48:19.000 So what would you think his reasoning is?

00:48:22.000 Well, I think it's very simple.

00:48:23.000 He is surrounded by a lot of people who have convinced him that he is the great negotiator and he can sit down with the Palestinians and Israelis and make a deal.

00:48:32.000 Sign up.

00:48:34.000 And, you know, maybe he can.

00:48:36.000 But here's what I don't think so many people around him who are advising him understand.

00:48:41.000 They tend to think that this is a diplomatic issue, a geographical issue, a political issue, an economic issue, an international issue.

00:48:50.000 It is not.

00:48:50.000 No.

00:48:51.000 It is ultimately a theological issue.

00:48:53.000 And this goes not back to the 1917 Balfour Agreement or the 1948 Independence of Israel or the 1956 War with Egypt or the 1967 Six-Day War, the 1973 Yom Kippur War.

00:49:07.000 Stephen, this goes back to Isaac and Ishmael.

00:49:10.000 And if you don't take it back there and understand where the conflict has its roots, Then you can sit down at every table in the world and you're not going to come up with some lovely agreement that people are going to honor.

00:49:24.000 I think that's one blind spot we've talked about with President Donald Trump.

00:49:28.000 And you could, of course, disagree.

00:49:29.000 We never want to be disrespectful to someone who works directly with him.

00:49:31.000 But since he's been an adult, this has kind of been my theory sometimes where he has his missteps since he's been old enough to understand the concept of money.

00:49:40.000 Well, you know, you're famous, right?

00:49:41.000 So when people meet you and they're fans, it's a very different kind of interaction.

00:49:45.000 Right away, it's an entirely different dynamic.

00:49:47.000 Psychologically, it changes people.

00:49:48.000 Since he's been old enough to run a business, right away he's had enough money, and people have typically been in relationships where they want to get a piece of that, or he can control them in some way, or there's a money relationship.

00:50:00.000 Typically, when he's been doing business deals, he's been doing them with people who are in business.

00:50:05.000 They want to make a deal.

00:50:06.000 I don't think he understands yet that Hamas... 0.90

00:50:09.000 No, it's in their charter to wipe out Israel. 0.99

00:50:12.000 They have no interest in a deal.

00:50:13.000 None.

00:50:14.000 That's their core belief.

00:50:15.000 No deal. 1.00

00:50:16.000 Kill Jews. 1.00

00:50:18.000 It's as simple as that. 1.00

00:50:19.000 And they can promise it.

00:50:21.000 By the way, in their own code...

00:50:23.000 Telling a lie is a perfectly acceptable moral position if it gets you what you want.

00:50:29.000 So even if they sit down at the table and say, oh, absolutely, we're going to behave.

00:50:32.000 I mean, look at the Iranians. 1.00

00:50:33.000 They've never kept a promise in 38 years since the radicals have taken over in Iran. 0.70

00:50:38.000 Not once.

00:50:39.000 Not one time.

00:50:40.000 Why on earth would anyone believe them?

00:50:40.000 No.

00:50:42.000 Unless you're incredibly gullible, like Obama was, who made a deal with the Iranians, thinking that they're going to, oh, of course they're going to keep it. 0.97

00:50:49.000 Yeah.

00:50:49.000 So they give them hundreds of millions of dollars, and what do they do?

00:50:52.000 They immediately laugh in our face, and they go about accelerating everything they can do to build a nuclear weapon.

00:50:58.000 I feel like Iran's propositions that were put on the table when Barack Obama was president, it was nothing but a dare.

00:51:04.000 And for some reason, they were constantly going, he's going to sign it!

00:51:07.000 Can you believe it?

00:51:08.000 What more do I ask for?

00:51:10.000 He's doing it!

00:51:12.000 I feel like that was the entire...

00:51:13.000 Put it in the free ice cream.

00:51:15.000 Put it in the stick.

00:51:17.000 That's what's ironic.

00:51:18.000 I mean, this is a country that when they sign anything, they sign it on flash paper.

00:51:22.000 So, not hit ourselves.

00:51:24.000 They're never going to keep an agreement because they don't think they have to.

00:51:27.000 Right.

00:51:28.000 I know.

00:51:28.000 I guess that's the same thing.

00:51:29.000 They probably gave it to Barack Obama.

00:51:30.000 Like, yeah, sign with this.

00:51:31.000 It's the Invisible Ink!

00:51:33.000 Can you buy it every time with this guy?

00:51:35.000 All right.

00:51:36.000 On Twitter, very entertaining.

00:51:38.000 I highly recommend you follow him because he's unchained these days.

00:51:41.000 He's not beholden to anyone.

00:51:43.000 He does it for his own enjoyment.

00:51:44.000 That's when you see the best, Governor Huckabee.

00:51:46.000 At GovMikeHuckabee.

00:51:48.000 Governor, thanks so much for making the time.

00:51:50.000 I know it's a busy day for you.

00:51:51.000 It's a pleasure to be with you, Stephen.

00:51:53.000 Thank you very much.

00:51:54.000 And right after this, we have...

00:51:55.000 Oh, Anne McElhinney!

00:51:56.000 Irish.

00:51:56.000 Irish!

00:51:57.000 Most of the very sucky. 1.00

00:52:07.000 Just a little racist pun there. 0.99

00:52:11.000 Most mugs do suck, but I'll tell you what doesn't. 0.98

00:52:13.000 The Ladder with Crowder hand-edged mug. 0.95

00:52:20.000 I don't want to hear them.

00:52:22.000 It's $99 annually.

00:52:23.000 It's $69.

00:52:24.000 Even if you're a white belt, you're technically a student, like Adji Morgan Jr.

00:52:28.000 is there.

00:52:29.000 $69 for students, veterans, active military.

00:52:42.000 But it is what allows us to continue operating for free on YouTube.

00:52:45.000 You're seeing a lot of conservatives uploading less content to YouTube, moving to other sites, and sometimes you can't find them.

00:52:51.000 The big irony is that joining the Mug Club and supporting the premium content is what allows us to fight back on YouTube, on the free platform.

00:53:00.000 Because, Young Turks, we're coming for you! 1.00

00:53:02.000 We're coming for you, right?

00:53:03.000 And not only that, there's a dozen people here at Lotter with Crowder who are employed.

00:53:22.000 You get to support all of it.

00:53:25.000 Including my drug habit.

00:53:26.000 Yeah, and of course you get to support Not Gay Jared's drug habit, and what he really means is Rolaids. 0.72

00:53:34.000 $99 annually or $69 for students, veterans, active military.

00:53:39.000 Also, announcement, we are going to be in Ireland next week.

00:53:43.000 We're going to Ireland!

00:53:46.000 Pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

00:53:47.000 Also domestic terrorism.

00:53:49.000 There's a lot going on in Ireland.

00:53:50.000 We'll be broadcasting from a pub.

00:53:52.000 It's cultural appropriation month.

00:53:54.000 Who knows where we will end up next?

00:53:56.000 Next, it could be some third-world country like Detroit.

00:53:57.000 ladderwithcounter.com slash mugclub.

00:54:01.000 Alright, glad to have our next guest. glad to have our next guest.

00:54:23.000 It's cultural appropriation because appropriating other cultures is to appreciate their cultures.

00:54:28.000 We're learning about Japan today.

00:54:30.000 Little known fact when it comes to Japan.

00:54:33.000 I'm waiting.

00:54:33.000 They have a 94% attempted suicide rate.

00:54:37.000 And the rate of hermaphrodites is actually 18 times the global average.

00:54:42.000 Knowledge is power.

00:54:43.000 Yeah, knowledge is power.

00:54:44.000 The more you know, our next guest, we are very glad to have her on.

00:54:48.000 She's been on the show a lot.

00:54:48.000 She's a favorite.

00:54:50.000 Well, actually, her culture is next week because we told people we're going to be in Ireland broadcasting from Ireland next week.

00:54:58.000 A local pub down there, and we're going to be appropriating Irish culture and McElhinney.

00:55:02.000 Oh! 0.60

00:55:04.000 Gosnellbook.com.

00:55:05.000 Everyone should go out and check it out.

00:55:06.000 It is doing incredibly well, despite the New York Times trying to act as though it doesn't exist.

00:55:10.000 Anne McElhinney, thank you for being with us.

00:55:12.000 It's very good to be here.

00:55:14.000 Thank you so much.

00:55:15.000 I cannot believe you're going to Ireland and you didn't invite me.

00:55:18.000 Oh my God, I want to know about the pub.

00:55:20.000 I want to know where you're going.

00:55:21.000 I'm going to send people down.

00:55:23.000 Well, we...

00:55:23.000 Honestly, I would never go anywhere else in Europe at this point.

00:55:27.000 Very few places.

00:55:29.000 But Ireland doesn't play that game.

00:55:31.000 Ireland does not do the... 0.99

00:55:32.000 We're welcoming it in all the migrants and the rape. 1.00

00:55:35.000 We're fine with it. 0.97

00:55:36.000 Doesn't happen in Ireland.

00:55:37.000 So I feel pretty safe.

00:55:39.000 Well, maybe a little bit of it, but...

00:55:41.000 Don't feel too safe in Ireland, by the way.

00:55:44.000 Just don't feel too safe in Ireland.

00:55:45.000 You'd be surprised at some of the ideas that they have there.

00:55:48.000 So just...

00:55:49.000 Comforting.

00:55:51.000 It is comforting.

00:55:52.000 It is comforting. 1.00

00:55:52.000 The problem is we're going to dress up Jared in the most offensive stereotype possible to see how quickly he gets his ass kicked. 1.00

00:55:58.000 Fabulous. 0.99

00:55:59.000 Okay, so Anne, obviously we've talked about the Gosnell book.

00:56:03.000 People need to go out and read this.

00:56:04.000 We were talking about BuzzFeed and their just crazy abortion propaganda.

00:56:08.000 But let's go to a lighter note here.

00:56:11.000 You mentioned, you just said you had two fabulous Trump derangement syndrome stories.

00:56:16.000 I have.

00:56:16.000 I have two.

00:56:17.000 Yeah.

00:56:17.000 Okay.

00:56:18.000 Unbelievable.

00:56:18.000 So the first one is, so as you can see with the light here, I'm living now in Southern California.

00:56:22.000 I'm living in the Hollywood Hills with all the people who live in the Hollywood Hills.

00:56:25.000 Yeah.

00:56:25.000 And I thought, you know, when I moved to Southern California, I'm an Irish girl.

00:56:29.000 I thought, you know, I should try and soak up a little bit of this culture of these strange people who live in Southern California.

00:56:34.000 Yeah.

00:56:35.000 So someone offered a meditation class in the neighborhood.

00:56:37.000 And I thought, you know what?

00:56:38.000 I'm going to go to the meditation class.

00:56:39.000 I go to the meditation class.

00:56:40.000 Very nice.

00:56:41.000 Everyone was very nice.

00:56:42.000 I was the favorite in the class.

00:56:43.000 Everyone liked me because I'm Irish.

00:56:45.000 Everyone likes you.

00:56:46.000 I can't think of anyone who doesn't like you until they hear about your ideas.

00:56:49.000 Oh, behave! 0.82

00:56:50.000 Behave!

00:56:50.000 So they're all there, and I'm thinking if they only really knew who I was, they really mightn't like me so much, but they're always saying how much they like me.

00:56:57.000 And they did a meditation, and one day we did one meditation with like...

00:57:00.000 I want you to breathe in, breathe in, breathe in all the negativity, breathe in all the negativity, and then push love, push love into it.

00:57:07.000 And so they did that, right?

00:57:08.000 For five minutes, I was having a ball.

00:57:09.000 I was pulling in that negativity.

00:57:11.000 I was pushing out that love.

00:57:12.000 And then they went around the room, how did you get on?

00:57:14.000 How did you get on?

00:57:15.000 And I'm there in my lovely meditative state, feeling very zen, and the first person said, Well, that was really good for me, you know, because I was breathing in all the hatefulness, all the anger and the hatefulness from the Trump supporters, and I was pushing love into it.

00:57:30.000 And I'm sitting there going...

00:57:33.000 And then they came to the next person.

00:57:34.000 Did you push her down?

00:57:35.000 And the next person said the same thing.

00:57:37.000 And they all started saying, oh my God, that's exactly what I did.

00:57:41.000 I was feeling the same thing. 0.95

00:57:42.000 I was pushing love into those hateful Trump supporters.

00:57:45.000 And by the way, I was thinking in my head of those hateful Trump supporters that I love.

00:57:49.000 Those people that I love.

00:57:51.000 People who are evangelical Christians and gorgeous people.

00:57:55.000 Anyway, so that was my first story.

00:57:57.000 My second story...

00:57:58.000 Next time if that happens, so here, I bet you you can bait that situation into happening again, because it's not all too uncommon.

00:58:04.000 I know in yoga that, you know, breathe this in, push this down.

00:58:06.000 So when they say I was pushing down the Trump haters, what I want you to do is walk right up to them and just start pushing that person down physically.

00:58:12.000 Oh, wow!

00:58:14.000 We think alike!

00:58:15.000 It's a bit of horror.

00:58:17.000 Anyway, I decided, you know what, I don't want to fight in every context that I'm in, so I never pretended who I was, and I stopped going to the meditation task.

00:58:24.000 My next story is from this weekend, because now that I live in the Hollywood Hills, I get invited to posh dinner parties, and I got invited to a very nice posh dinner party.

00:58:32.000 Well, careful, because then a gay guy wants your husband to take his keys, so careful. 1.00

00:58:37.000 One of the people at the dinner party was a very, and I don't want to identify this guy, and you'll understand why. 0.86

00:58:42.000 A very famous doctor.

00:58:44.000 Let's just put it that way.

00:58:45.000 A great man who does wonderful healing and a great, great person.

00:58:48.000 Do I know him?

00:58:50.000 You wouldn't know him, but people in your community might know him.

00:58:54.000 Doctors might recognize who he was, so I don't want to say.

00:58:56.000 All his life, he told me, very nice guy.

00:58:59.000 All his life, he has voted Democrat.

00:59:01.000 All of his life.

00:59:02.000 Until this election.

00:59:04.000 Where he voted for Trump because he couldn't vote for her because of Israel.

00:59:08.000 This guy is Jewish.

00:59:09.000 So great, great, great for having the dinner party.

00:59:11.000 He said, you know what?

00:59:12.000 Really amazing.

00:59:13.000 I was saying to him, yeah, but you know what's amazing?

00:59:15.000 The Trump derangement syndrome.

00:59:16.000 He said, I've got a story for you.

00:59:18.000 He just spoke recently at a conference in a foreign country.

00:59:22.000 I won't even identify the country because I'm very conscious of not identifying this man.

00:59:25.000 And so at the conference, he met an American colleague.

00:59:28.000 In the midst of the conversation, he told the colleague that he had voted for Trump.

00:59:32.000 So later on, they're in this beautiful hotel in a very posh place, whatever, and he comes down to the bar and sees a huddle of people, including this American man, and they're pointing at him.

00:59:41.000 They're pointing at this eminent doctor, this healer, this amazing guy who's saving lives every day.

00:59:48.000 They point at him.

00:59:49.000 And he's pointing, and the man who's pointing is the American, surrounded by French people. 0.92

00:59:54.000 And guess what they did? 0.99

00:59:55.000 They raped him. 1.00

00:59:56.000 They spat on the ground. 1.00

00:59:58.000 They spat on the ground.

01:00:00.000 These are eminent doctors, healers, and this is how they react to Trump. 0.64

01:00:09.000 Madness.

01:00:09.000 It's all over the place.

01:00:10.000 It's hilarious.

01:00:11.000 We have a neighbor here, and so we're driving around the neighborhood.

01:00:14.000 We're driving around the neighborhood.

01:00:15.000 All of the poshest houses, the most expensive houses, had the Bernie signs on them.

01:00:20.000 The next ones down had the Hillary Clinton signs. 1.00

01:00:24.000 My husband wanted to put a Trump sign up, but I said no.

01:00:27.000 That's who I am, Stephen, because I didn't want the house to be burnt down.

01:00:32.000 But anyway, we're driving around, driving around, and it's very dangerous driving around here, and we nearly had a car accident.

01:00:37.000 What do we see in a house around the corner?

01:00:39.000 A big Trump sign.

01:00:41.000 And I'm thinking...

01:00:42.000 What?

01:00:43.000 And Phelan and I both said, we've got to call over and see that guy.

01:00:47.000 We have got to go and visit that guy.

01:00:48.000 Yeah, careful, he probably has a gun.

01:00:50.000 Next time we go by, the Trump sign's gone.

01:00:53.000 And then we call by later, and the Trump sign is up, and he's got it all secured with, like, with really secure wire, and it's, like, really impossible to remove.

01:01:01.000 So Phelan calls up to the guy's house, knocks on the door.

01:01:05.000 Long story anyway, but they had a gate and whatever, and they were scared.

01:01:09.000 The daughter of the house came out and said, is this a trap?

01:01:12.000 Anyway, we've become a big friend of that guy, and he is a Trump supporter, and he is up here.

01:01:17.000 And, you know, we have to huddle together because it's a hostile environment.

01:01:21.000 We're in a hostile environment here. 0.97

01:01:23.000 It is a hostile environment out there, and you're in a land of crazy people.

01:01:26.000 And you still do have to be careful approaching some of the Trump side.

01:01:28.000 They probably have a gun, and there's a more likelihood that you are blown away.

01:01:32.000 I wouldn't blame him if you're on his lawn.

01:01:34.000 He hears someone with a funny accent saying, I support Trump.

01:01:37.000 Ah, there's no Trump where you come from.

01:01:40.000 I know you're kind.

01:01:41.000 I know you're kind. 0.99

01:01:42.000 You people, you're the white people who actually do commit terrorism, Irish. 0.99

01:01:45.000 Yeah, yeah. 0.99

01:01:46.000 Oh, exactly.

01:01:47.000 Well, let's, no, no, no.

01:01:49.000 No, no, no.

01:01:50.000 Okay, it's never too soon.

01:01:51.000 It's never too soon.

01:01:53.000 Go out there and zip or find a migrant raper. 1.00

01:01:56.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:01:57.000 Gosh, yeah, the French.

01:01:59.000 The French.

01:01:59.000 We can just talk in generalities here about that.

01:02:02.000 We have never gotten more flack than our stands on climate change.

01:02:05.000 And I've been very reasonable.

01:02:07.000 I'm not saying there isn't climate change.

01:02:08.000 I'm not saying that humans aren't even contributing to it.

01:02:11.000 The question is, is it catastrophic?

01:02:14.000 Is it imminent?

01:02:15.000 And is there anything we can do about it?

01:02:17.000 Okay, the closest thing that people are saying they can do about it.

01:02:20.000 Well, I was there at the summit before.

01:02:21.000 It was a Kyoto Protocol.

01:02:22.000 Now it's the Paris Accord.

01:02:23.000 There's no proof that it would do anything at all, and the United States would be disproportionately bent over and paying for it.

01:02:31.000 If I say that, and you say that, we make the economic argument, we make the argument, listen, this is actually going to hurt a lot of people, put people out of work in the first world country, and kill people who need energy to survive and they can't afford it in the third world country. 1.00

01:02:46.000 On a scale from 1 to 10, obviously you did Not Evil Just Wrong.

01:02:49.000 People need to go watch it.

01:02:50.000 How bad is this deal?

01:02:53.000 It's crazy bad.

01:02:55.000 The good example to really point out to people, so who's really compliant here?

01:02:59.000 Who's bending over backwards here to go with these cords, with these kind of measures?

01:03:04.000 The Germans. 0.62

01:03:05.000 And here's what we need to know about the Germans. 0.99

01:03:06.000 They're bad.

01:03:08.000 The Germans are using 40%. 0.97

01:03:10.000 40% of their energy is produced by coal.

01:03:14.000 40%.

01:03:15.000 Yeah.

01:03:15.000 Because of the fact that they've got rid of their nuclear, and because of the fact that wind and solar are so unreliable.

01:03:20.000 So 40% of their energy has been produced by coal, and their emissions, these awful emissions, these awful CO2 emissions that we're meant to be all so terrified about, have gone up by 50% in Germany.

01:03:31.000 Yeah.

01:03:31.000 The price of electricity in Germany, so the price of electricity in 2012 here in the United States per unit was about 12 cents here in the United States.

01:03:41.000 In Germany, I think the latest numbers, yeah, 35 cents.

01:03:44.000 As you say, that is going to disproportionately affect the poor.

01:03:49.000 But here's the kicker.

01:03:50.000 Here's the big kicker.

01:03:52.000 Here in America, where we are not complying with any of this nonsense, guess what's happening to our evil emissions?

01:03:58.000 Down, down, down, down, down.

01:04:00.000 Do you like that movement?

01:04:01.000 I like that down, down, down.

01:04:02.000 It looks like an early boy band.

01:04:05.000 Or Hitler's symbol for the Jews.

01:04:07.000 And that's caused by fracking.

01:04:09.000 Because of fracking, the CO2 emissions have just plummeted here in the United States.

01:04:13.000 Fracking is a miracle.

01:04:14.000 It's a fracking miracle there, Stephen.

01:04:16.000 And hold on a second, hold on a second, hold on a second. 0.99

01:04:17.000 Because you're also not even taking into account how fewer emissions there are when we're not dependent on foreign resources for energy, where they don't have an EPA. They don't care about it.

01:04:26.000 Here's what's so crazy, and this is what I love about it.

01:04:27.000 If I could have N. McElhinney on every single day, I would.

01:04:30.000 But here's the thing.

01:04:31.000 We were talking about this yesterday.

01:04:32.000 We have Sven Computer as our intern from Germany.

01:04:34.000 And he talked about, you know, they actually have to sell their energy off at a negative price rate.

01:04:38.000 Everything that you just said, we talked about yesterday.

01:04:40.000 Oh, sorry.

01:04:41.000 I'm sorry.

01:04:41.000 No, no, no, no, no.

01:04:42.000 But here's the thing.

01:04:43.000 Most people haven't heard of it.

01:04:44.000 And they're like, well, why haven't I heard of it?

01:04:46.000 It's because they're just not having the conversations.

01:04:48.000 And I hope that's the value of the show for a lot of people.

01:04:50.000 You and I have these conversations off air.

01:04:53.000 And you know what else, Stephen?

01:04:54.000 The other factor in this is that if America continued in that Paris Accord or whatever, if they continued in that vein with all those agreements, right, the Americans would comply because we're law abiding.

01:05:08.000 The Chinese, you know, I saw a headline, you know, the Chinese, no matter what, the Chinese lied about SARS. They lied about SARS and let their own population die. 1.00

01:05:19.000 And it made it to Toronto.

01:05:20.000 It made it to Toronto.

01:05:21.000 That's who they are.

01:05:22.000 And that's who the Canadians are.

01:05:23.000 We had SARS in Toronto, at the Toronto airport.

01:05:26.000 It didn't make it to the States because we didn't fall for it.

01:05:28.000 But Canadians, they're so tolerant of everything, including SARS. They tolerated SARS. Yeah, yeah.

01:05:34.000 The idea that people that agree to this accord, the idea that they should all be treated equally, that they should all be treated the same, that they're all going to comply.

01:05:44.000 Like, seriously, that the Chinese, you know, that anyone would trust anything that the Chinese would sign. 1.00

01:05:50.000 I've been in China.

01:05:51.000 I've been in Beijing.

01:05:51.000 We can't I'm saying the government.

01:06:12.000 Yes.

01:06:13.000 And yes, Gosnell Book.

01:06:14.000 Gosnellbook.com.

01:06:15.000 Go to Gosnellbook.com.

01:06:17.000 You know, it's really interesting.

01:06:18.000 So the New York Times.

01:06:19.000 We love the New York Times.

01:06:20.000 The New York Times.

01:06:21.000 Willie Parker.

01:06:22.000 Dr.

01:06:22.000 Willie Parker.

01:06:23.000 Okay, but we do have to wrap, so go with this.

01:06:25.000 The Christian abortion doctor. 0.61

01:06:27.000 Mark you, Stephen.

01:06:28.000 Christian abortion doctor.

01:06:29.000 If that isn't an oxymoron, I don't know the definition of an oxymoron.

01:06:33.000 But the New York Times could not love him more.

01:06:37.000 They have done profiles of him.

01:06:39.000 Our book was a bestseller.

01:06:41.000 It sold out everywhere in 24 hours.

01:06:43.000 And guess who didn't review the book?

01:06:44.000 Guess who didn't review the book?

01:06:46.000 And guess who left it off where it should have been on the New York Times?

01:06:49.000 We did eventually get on the New York Times bestseller list, but not where we should have been.

01:06:53.000 Lots of people are reading it.

01:06:54.000 And by the way, the one thing I would say as well is I did an audio version of the book, Stephen, and a lot of people are buying that for people maybe traveling in their car.

01:07:01.000 I hope Philem didn't narrate that.

01:07:04.000 I hope your husband did.

01:07:05.000 He said he hopes Philem didn't narrate that.

01:07:08.000 No, I know.

01:07:09.000 You always are very abusive about it.

01:07:11.000 I understand him perfectly.

01:07:17.000 It's like Brad Pitt from Snatch.

01:07:19.000 Okay, we do have to go.

01:07:20.000 Anne McElhinney and her husband, Philem McElhinney, they both work together, do great stuff.

01:07:24.000 Gosnellbook.com.

01:07:25.000 Please go read it.

01:07:26.000 We have to go and wrap this show up on a nice ribbon.

01:07:29.000 Oh, there it is.

01:07:30.000 One, two, three, four, three, four, five, four, five, one, two, three, four.

01:07:35.000 Many of you are still unaware of the items available at louderwithcrowdershop.com.

01:07:41.000 Not only do they make you look and feel better, but they serve a multitude of purposes.

01:07:46.000 Like our Socialism is for fag shirts, assisting in identifying potential allies. 0.99

01:07:50.000 I found that shirt very offensive. 0.96

01:07:53.000 I think it's pretty funny.

01:07:57.000 Or our Bad Hombres Firearm t-shirt, helping you know who to avoid.

01:08:02.000 Am I to take that shirt to mean that you support some kind of firearm registry?

01:08:10.000 Or this one.

01:08:11.000 Hey, look, it's my face.

01:08:12.000 I hate it.

01:08:14.000 Though louderwithcrowdershop.com isn't for everyone.

01:08:18.000 But can I buy the mug from the shop without joining the mug club?

01:08:21.000 No!

01:08:39.000 It's better to have loved and lost.

01:08:42.000 It's better to have loved and lost.

01:08:46.000 Captain John Rucard than ever to have loved at all.

01:08:49.000 I'm going to say, thank you so much, by the way, to Anne McElhinney.

01:08:52.000 We will be in Ireland next week, so there will be no show on Wednesday.

01:08:56.000 No show on Wednesday.

01:08:57.000 And we will be broadcasting live from Ireland on Thursday.

01:09:01.000 That'd be good.

01:09:01.000 Thursday, we'll be broadcasting live from a local pub.

01:09:03.000 We may even be sober.

01:09:05.000 There is perhaps, and I'm pretty sure that you can guess which culture we'll be appropriating next week.

01:09:10.000 Take a wild guess, but you won't guess the other three.

01:09:12.000 We're unlucky in that there have been five weeks in June now, last month and this month.

01:09:17.000 Five Thursdays in June.

01:09:18.000 Are there five Thursdays this month again?

01:09:19.000 Yeah, there's five Thursdays. 1.00

01:09:20.000 You lucky bastards. 1.00

01:09:21.000 I know. 1.00

01:09:22.000 You just get more and more of the cultural privilege month, and we've been hearing your requests.

01:09:25.000 Frankly, stop winning.

01:09:26.000 We can't stop winning.

01:09:28.000 Thank you so much to Governor Mike Huckabee.

01:09:30.000 I think next week we're going to have Lacey Green on. 1.00

01:09:32.000 That'll be good.

01:09:33.000 That'll be good.

01:09:33.000 We've criticized Lacey Green a lot.

01:09:35.000 Apparently she's having dialogues with people from the other side of the aisle. 1.00

01:09:37.000 Sorry, this is stupid. 1.00

01:09:38.000 I can't do it. 0.85

01:09:40.000 I wanted to see how much I could ruin you taking me seriously, though let's be honest at the point in this program.

01:09:47.000 Especially if you've had some sake.

01:09:48.000 I still don't get the sake thing.

01:09:50.000 I know someone out there is going to be furious saying, you haven't had the right sake.

01:09:52.000 No, it's just terrible.

01:09:53.000 It's an awful beverage.

01:09:54.000 We just need to admit that some cultures have inferior... 0.99

01:09:57.000 For example, Japan has inferior hornets because they're killer hornets. 0.98

01:10:01.000 They kill people. 0.69

01:10:02.000 They paralyze people.

01:10:03.000 Our hornets are better because they only slightly stink.

01:10:07.000 Your rice wine is worse...

01:10:11.000 Than all other wines.

01:10:12.000 Not just our wine, but France's wine, Italy's wine, Michigan's wine even.

01:10:18.000 It is so bad, Japan. 1.00

01:10:19.000 I don't know who you've tricked.

01:10:21.000 By the way, this is the official position of Lotto the Crowder.

01:10:25.000 They should know this out there.

01:10:26.000 Yeah, sake is awful.

01:10:27.000 They should be aware about this.

01:10:28.000 It's the official position.

01:10:30.000 It's like flat, sweet beer.

01:10:33.000 That's what it is.

01:10:34.000 It's like all the elements...

01:10:35.000 Think about this for a second.

01:10:36.000 Beer, it should be hops, barley, yeast.

01:10:39.000 You know, it could be wheat, right?

01:10:40.000 But hops, typically malted barley.

01:10:42.000 The Bavarian purity laws don't allow for a whole lot else. 0.98

01:10:44.000 But then you have these American adjuncts with all awful Bud Light and that kind of crap. 0.98

01:10:48.000 The Miller that is just terrible. 0.95

01:10:50.000 And it's because there's corn and there's a lot of rice in it because it's cheaper.

01:10:54.000 So take all the elements that you don't like about cheap, watery domestic beers.

01:10:59.000 Remove the carbonation.

01:11:01.000 And that's snarky. 0.97

01:11:02.000 Are you saying you never get enjoyment out of just something you know is pure crap beer? 0.97

01:11:09.000 It's pretty hard.

01:11:10.000 It's pretty hard.

01:11:11.000 Trader Joe's simpler times I can do, but their Pilsner is not bad.

01:11:14.000 No.

01:11:15.000 Every once in a while, I'll go on record.

01:11:17.000 Bud Light Lime. 1.00

01:11:18.000 You are disgusting. 1.00

01:11:19.000 You don't like beer. 1.00

01:11:20.000 Not good here.

01:11:20.000 He doesn't like beer.

01:11:22.000 He likes to act as though he likes beer when he talks to other people.

01:11:24.000 He once made fun of me for drinking gin cocktails when he cannot have a sip of whiskey.

01:11:28.000 I enjoy fine gin, also whiskey.

01:11:30.000 You don't have to, but just don't lie about it.

01:11:32.000 You don't drink beer.

01:11:33.000 You don't drink whiskey.

01:11:33.000 Also, you have an innie.

01:11:36.000 You have an innie wiener. 0.50

01:11:38.000 Um... 0.91

01:11:40.000 Anyways, tweet me whatever your favorite beers are at S. Crowder, at Not Gay Jared. 0.87

01:11:44.000 Tell us what your favorite...

01:11:45.000 Yeah, Simpler Times Pilsner I will do.

01:11:47.000 And if there is absolutely nothing else, for example, I'm at a wedding or something, I'll do a standard Budweiser.

01:11:54.000 I won't do a Bud Light or anything.

01:11:56.000 I'll do a standard Budweiser.

01:11:57.000 It's better than Miller High Times.

01:11:59.000 It's better than Coors Banquet.

01:12:00.000 I'll do a standard if I have to, but I don't like it.

01:12:03.000 And it's maybe like once a year.

01:12:04.000 It's never good.

01:12:04.000 No, it's never very good.

01:12:06.000 Well, I'll do a Labatt or like a Molson, but Molson Canadian is not the same we have in Canada.

01:12:09.000 We have Molson Dry and Molson Export.

01:12:10.000 Who knew?

01:12:11.000 You had a point that you wanted to make.

01:12:12.000 We usually do kind of, we wrap up the week with our closing thoughts, though tomorrow we have the Wonder Woman Review, both me and Nakei Jared.

01:12:18.000 You had something that you were talking about.

01:12:21.000 Today, you wanted to express.

01:12:23.000 So let's try and make sure you use words.

01:12:24.000 Words.

01:12:25.000 In fact, this is important because it's about words.

01:12:27.000 And I think the importance of words.

01:12:29.000 We talked a lot about this this week with abortion.

01:12:31.000 We debunked a BuzzFeed video and kind of the abortion kind of myths going on in that video and the lies.

01:12:36.000 That's right, it was BuzzFeed.

01:12:36.000 It wasn't Fox.

01:12:37.000 It was BuzzFeed, yeah.

01:12:38.000 You're right.

01:12:38.000 This is an awful week, by the way.

01:12:41.000 And we talked a lot about...

01:12:43.000 Well, you hear the statement a lot.

01:12:45.000 I hope you never have to make that decision.

01:12:47.000 We've had guests on even said, you know, I hope, you know, I never had make, it was the hardest decision of my life, people who've had abortions or gone through divorce, you know, it was hard.

01:12:53.000 And I was thinking a lot about words.

01:12:54.000 It's usually said in a way that's very pious, like, well, I hope you never have to decide to get an abortion.

01:12:58.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:12:59.000 I hope you never have to decide on divorce.

01:13:01.000 It was the hardest decision of my life.

01:13:03.000 Right. 1.00

01:13:03.000 Killing my baby. 1.00

01:13:04.000 It's like, well, you say that in a way that makes me think I should revere you for your hard decision-making skills. 0.99

01:13:10.000 Right.

01:13:11.000 But you made the wrong decision.

01:13:13.000 Morally, you made the wrong decision.

01:13:16.000 And I was thinking about that a lot.

01:13:17.000 People use it, and I think we should be really careful about when we hear people and the words they say, and sometimes we can lose it in tone sometimes, and we miss, like, oh, wait, pause.

01:13:29.000 No, no.

01:13:30.000 That was a hard decision.

01:13:31.000 I would praise you if you chose the right thing.

01:13:33.000 That would be hard.

01:13:34.000 Like, hey, you had every reason to abort your baby.

01:13:36.000 Everyone's telling you you should, but you chose not to.

01:13:39.000 If it was a hard decision, I commend you.

01:13:41.000 Or you're going through a divorce.

01:13:43.000 Hey, every reason to leave my spouse, every reason to leave it.

01:13:46.000 It was a hard decision in my life, but I decided to work through it and press through it.

01:13:50.000 And that's noble.

01:13:51.000 And I was thinking a lot about that.

01:13:52.000 And you know what?

01:13:53.000 And a good point.

01:13:54.000 It's more than you don't even realize you just said decision, but on the plus side, when you're actually making the positive choice, really it's defined by a series of actions.

01:14:02.000 So divorce was the hardest decision of my life.

01:14:06.000 Fixing my marriage was an ongoing process.

01:14:09.000 It was the most difficult process of my life.

01:14:12.000 Having an abortion was the most difficult decision of my life.

01:14:15.000 Having my baby and taking care of it or giving it up for adoption and supporting it and nurturing it the way that it needed to, that's an ongoing process.

01:14:24.000 So often when people say that, it's a pious, they're trying to set this up, right?

01:14:28.000 It's almost always in a tone, and don't let this happen.

01:14:31.000 I used to have this happen a lot when I was young, and I will tell you, I've definitely matured, I've learned some things, and if I could tell my younger self, hey, there are a few mistakes that you could correct, I actually would have listened.

01:14:41.000 I was always someone who was pretty teachable, but I would have people who would say, ugh, You're a baby.

01:14:46.000 You don't know anything.

01:14:47.000 But what's interesting is, even whether I was at Fox or when we started this show, when we were at local radio shows, when they would say the same thing, that age always changes with their age.

01:14:57.000 In other words, you're just a baby.

01:14:58.000 Talk to them two years later.

01:14:59.000 You're 26.

01:15:00.000 You don't know anything because they're two years older.

01:15:03.000 And so these are people who don't feel solid in their ideas.

01:15:05.000 They don't believe that their decisions have been the right ones.

01:15:08.000 They don't believe that their actions have been the most productive ones.

01:15:12.000 And so their trump card is, you don't know and it's something you can't change because I'm older than you and that's always going to be the case.

01:15:19.000 You don't know what it's like to have an abortion. 1.00

01:15:22.000 Well, you're right.

01:15:23.000 It's kind of like people saying, you can't have an opinion.

01:15:26.000 You haven't had kids, so you don't know.

01:15:28.000 And the kid's running around with the curling iron stuffing in its mouth, you know, putting the blow dryer in the towel.

01:15:33.000 I know that's bad.

01:15:35.000 I'm not telling you how to raise your kids, but I would like to see them not die.

01:15:40.000 Also, I don't want them kicking my back of my seat on an airplane.

01:15:42.000 It's really annoying.

01:15:44.000 My mom dealt with that this last week, and she almost David Dowd the guy.

01:15:49.000 Yeah.

01:15:50.000 It's like, get a hold of your kids.

01:15:54.000 That's a really good point.

01:15:55.000 It is a good point, and people often say that, and it's usually said in tandem with...

01:16:01.000 Oh, by the way, I made a bad decision.

01:16:02.000 Because you know what?

01:16:03.000 It's not the same tone where someone says, you know what?

01:16:06.000 Keeping my baby, when I had every reason, you know, a baby with Down syndrome, or we didn't know that it would make it, keeping my baby was one of the hardest things I ever did, but it's the most rewarding.

01:16:17.000 It's very different from the flip side.

01:16:19.000 Someone saying, well, it was the hardest decision I ever had to make, and I hope you never have to make it.

01:16:23.000 Yeah, this isn't who wants to be a millionaire.

01:16:24.000 It was a really hard decision.

01:16:26.000 A or C, I was pretty confident it was one of them.

01:16:28.000 I had to choose.

01:16:29.000 It's not the same.

01:16:30.000 There's not a moral equivalent.

01:16:32.000 There is a moral equivalency between the wrong answer there.

01:16:35.000 But when these really big moral life choices, there's not an equivalency between the two decisions.

01:16:40.000 Right.

01:16:41.000 And I do think that generally, not always there are exceptions, but the person who says, you know what, it was the hardest thing I ever did to stick out my marriage after whatever happened, or after we weren't communicating, my husband was traveling, or it was very hard for me to...

01:16:54.000 To decide to have that baby because it was the right thing to do.

01:16:57.000 Usually it's followed by, ask me about it.

01:17:00.000 They talk about it.

01:17:01.000 On the flip side, abortion was the hardest decision I ever had to make. 0.98

01:17:05.000 And you don't have a right to an opinion and shut up and get off me! 1.00

01:17:09.000 Right? 0.97

01:17:09.000 Same thing, divorce. 0.97

01:17:10.000 Divorce is really hard.

01:17:11.000 I don't want to talk about it.

01:17:13.000 Usually when someone makes the right decision, they...

01:17:16.000 You know.

01:17:17.000 And we were talking about this with Stephen Mullen.

01:17:18.000 You know if you've made the right decision.

01:17:20.000 People inherently know sometimes.

01:17:21.000 Not always.

01:17:22.000 That's where you need some kind of outside determining.

01:17:25.000 Whether it's a deity or you like to say it's simply laws.

01:17:28.000 I know atheists will say, ah. 0.95

01:17:29.000 We talked about this with Jordan Peterson said, do you think people really don't know, have a sense of absolute truth?

01:17:35.000 Or do you think people just BS their way through life saying, I'm living my truth?

01:17:38.000 I don't think they really believe it.

01:17:39.000 I really do think with most things in life, people have something inside of us that knows what real truth, definitive truth is.

01:17:49.000 Or they know that it exists.

01:17:51.000 They don't necessarily know what that is, but they know that it exists.

01:17:54.000 Yes. 0.96

01:17:54.000 And that's a good point, and I think that's important, because if they know that it exists, but they don't know what it is, that's where you see the manipulation of, uh, tone, I'm pious, you don't know, you don't have the experience, no vagina, no opinion. 0.96

01:18:07.000 Another thing, we were talking about this, I don't know if we, we didn't end up making the show, but Huffington Post wrote about Donald Trump, they were saying, he's going, if Donald Trump has his way, he's going to allow religious employers to forego the birth control mandate.

01:18:21.000 In other words, what the, interesting that they use the word allow.

01:18:24.000 So if someone doesn't really know what the truth is, the truth is that the government has no right and no authority and was never intended to have the authority to force a religious organization or employer to provide what they believe are abortificants, regardless of your view on abortion.

01:18:38.000 But the language they use, Donald Trump would allow these organizations to keep their own money as opposed to paying for abortions.

01:18:45.000 Kind of like when they say, was it Elizabeth Warren, Donald Trump, President Trump wants to steal from the Pell Grant.

01:18:52.000 Well, interesting you use the word steal.

01:18:54.000 Where'd you get the money?

01:18:55.000 Now see, the reason they're using the language is because people have an understanding that there's an inherent truth.

01:19:01.000 That truth exists.

01:19:02.000 Why?

01:19:03.000 Because they're saying, well, stealing is wrong.

01:19:05.000 Stealing is wrong.

01:19:05.000 You use the word steal.

01:19:06.000 Okay, that's wrong.

01:19:07.000 But they also know that people don't know what that truth is.

01:19:10.000 So they've applied a semi-truth.

01:19:12.000 Steal.

01:19:13.000 Yeah, that's bad.

01:19:14.000 And they're stealing from the money that we took stealing from people.

01:19:18.000 But the word steal, yeah, that's bad.

01:19:20.000 Yeah.

01:19:21.000 So they prey on that.

01:19:23.000 And they prey on less transparency.

01:19:25.000 And that's something we've always got to do.

01:19:26.000 We're going to have Lacey Green on next. 0.99

01:19:27.000 We had Mark Duplass on.

01:19:28.000 We're always trying to invite leftists on.

01:19:30.000 I truly do believe that the solution to most problems out there, if we're actually trying to get to real truth, like Nakajir was talking about, you've got to eliminate the you don't know, you couldn't possibly know, you're young, you're inexperienced, and we've also got to eliminate the half-truths.

01:19:47.000 If we want to get to, okay, is there real truth?

01:19:49.000 And I think most people do know that there is.

01:19:51.000 The solution is transparency and open conversation.

01:19:55.000 And guess what?

01:19:55.000 That doesn't mean it's always civil.

01:19:57.000 That's the big irony of this show.

01:19:59.000 I mean, the intro for years in this show was I said, civility?

01:20:01.000 How about honesty?

01:20:02.000 But we have returned liberal guests who will never go on other conservative shows because even though we don't value civility above honesty, guess what?

01:20:12.000 We employ civility on this show.

01:20:13.000 We try to be respectful because our goal is to get to truth, and we believe that it's a more effective way.

01:20:17.000 Most of the time, sometimes you have crazy people who come on the show and just want to yell, and you have to make an example of them.

01:20:23.000 But if we want to get to absolute truth, what the truth is, like we were talking about with Jordan Peterson, The solution is pretty simple.

01:20:31.000 More transparency, more research, more education, informing people more.

01:20:36.000 That means less elitism.

01:20:38.000 The wonderful thing is in 2017, there's no need for elitism.

01:20:42.000 All information is at everybody's fingertips.

01:20:45.000 Whether you're a member of Mensa or you're riding a short bus with a room temperature IQ, you can figure out what the truth is and you're more equipped to deal with it The more conversations you've had, the more people you've interacted with.

01:20:58.000 So go and do that this week.

01:21:00.000 Just make sure you're not wearing this getup because that tends to shut down conversation and it's a shame because it's mostly comfortable.
