00:02:08.000 Glad to be with you.

00:02:14.000 This week is The Culture of India.
00:02:16.000 A little known fact about India.
00:02:18.000 Swear to you, this is true.
00:02:19.000 50% of Indians defecate out in the open.
00:02:21.000 That's true.
00:02:22.000 100% true.
00:02:23.000 It's a great country.
00:02:24.000 Also, Dalsham, not a good choice in Street Fighter 2.
00:02:28.000 What?
00:02:29.000 Don't be fooled by the stretchiness.
00:02:30.000 You think the stretchiness, then you realize he is weak as a yogi from India who doesn't eat beef.
00:02:35.000 Producing with me in video studio, as always, is Jared, who is not gay.
00:02:38.000 Follow him on Twitter at notgayjared and be at scrowder.
00:02:40.000 That's my legal application story on Conclusions Weekend.
00:02:45.000 At G. Morgan Jr.
00:02:46.000 is here.
00:02:46.000 Hey!
00:02:47.000 MrSimplifiedWine.com, what's the wine of the day?
00:02:49.000 We have a curry-favored wine from southern India.
00:02:52.000 Sound gay!
00:02:54.000 Also contaminated.
00:02:55.000 So, we have great...
00:02:57.000 I think I ripped a button on this, honestly.
00:02:59.000 Yeah.
00:03:00.000 Oh, jeez.
00:03:00.000 These are itchy as hell, by the way.
00:03:02.000 Francine Wardrobe.
00:03:02.000 She's not going to be happy.
00:03:03.000 No.
00:03:05.000 I did.
00:03:05.000 I broke something.
00:03:07.000 Where's the button here?
00:03:08.000 That happens.
00:03:10.000 The show must go on.
00:03:11.000 This is not a good opening.
00:03:11.000 We have Dave Cullen on the show.
00:03:13.000 Dave Rubin.
00:03:14.000 That's going to be a lot of fun.
00:03:15.000 We're just Dave-ing the hell out of there.
00:03:17.000 Also, Dave Rubin has a gay lover named Dave.
00:03:21.000 And I'm going to ditch the mustache.
00:03:22.000 Oh, I didn't see this.
00:03:25.000 He manages 7-Eleven.
00:03:26.000 Well, that makes sense.
00:03:26.000 We'll get letters.
00:03:27.000 I'm an owner.
00:03:31.000 Franchise that bitch!
00:03:32.000 Thank you.
00:03:32.000 Come again.
00:03:33.000 I took pride in the American dream.
00:03:36.000 Take a penny, leave a penny?
00:03:37.000 No, thank you.
00:03:38.000 No, thank you.
00:03:38.000 So, we'll have them on, and of course, we are going to get to this infamous New York Times piece today that talks about the shooting that occurred yesterday.
00:03:47.000 The politicization has already occurred.
00:03:49.000 You saw us talk about this yesterday, but it's occurred.
00:03:52.000 It's in the New York Times.
00:03:53.000 This is why they call it fake news.
00:03:55.000 We'll get into all of that and more, but right now, let's talk about other news.
00:03:58.000 Interesting story.
00:04:03.000 The lengths we go to for you.
00:04:05.000 Just for you.
00:04:06.000 And it's hard for me to speak, so if people are listening to the audio version are saying, why does this sound like that?
00:04:10.000 It's because this glue has glued my face shut.
00:04:12.000 It's like yesterday.
00:04:12.000 Swedish hospitals, this is a true story, are testing defibrillators delivery via drone.
00:04:19.000 Nice.
00:04:20.000 They're dropping defibrillators via drone.
00:04:21.000 It's a flying spider.
00:04:21.000 This is true.
00:04:22.000 They say speed kills, and they found that they've been able to deliver the defibrillators in an average of five minutes...
00:04:29.000 We don't have them.
00:04:30.000 We just die.
00:04:32.000 In 5 minutes, 21 seconds, that's compared to the 22 minutes on average for the ambulance.
00:04:38.000 That's great.
00:04:39.000 So that does make a lot of sense.
00:04:41.000 I commend them for that, for being innovative.
00:04:43.000 By the way, the drones have been doing the Lord's work in Sweden for a long time now, as they've been using them to airdrop rape whistles.
00:04:51.000 This will save you.
00:04:52.000 Air traffic control, nightmare.
00:04:54.000 I was trying to get to that, but the hair engulfed and just down.
00:04:57.000 Dropping rape whistles.
00:04:58.000 We have a rape whistle drone.
00:04:59.000 Do we have clearance for it?
00:05:00.000 Everyone needs clearance!
00:05:01.000 I don't know.
00:05:02.000 There's so much of it.
00:05:04.000 By the way, little known fact, it doesn't really work because it turns out in Sweden, this is where cultural appropriation matters because there are cultural differences.
00:05:12.000 Here we think of what a rape whistle is, but actually in Sweden it acts like a dog whistle.
00:05:16.000 Rape whistles actually just serve to attract more rapists.
00:05:19.000 Beep!
00:05:20.000 111, what's your emergency?
00:05:22.000 Yeah, I need help.
00:05:23.000 Uh, I am being attacked by rapists.
00:05:27.000 Okay, now did you use the rape whistle?
00:05:29.000 We care drop with the drones.
00:05:30.000 Yeah, I used the rape whistle.
00:05:32.000 You care drop with the drone.
00:05:34.000 But now, the problem is, there's only more rapists?
00:05:38.000 Now there are so many of them.
00:05:44.000 I don't know what they expected!
00:05:47.000 Sweden, with the raids, has been on a very rocky road for a long time.
00:05:51.000 Now it's even infecting the locals.
00:05:56.000 No, Swedish chef, how far you've fallen.
00:06:04.000 I used to look up to you.
00:06:06.000 Yoko Ono just got...
00:06:08.000 Today.
00:06:09.000 She finally got a credit because she claims she was helpful in writing the song Imagine.
00:06:14.000 So she officially got a writing credit for the song Imagine.
00:06:19.000 So that's why it sucks.
00:06:20.000 Yeah, yeah, that sheds some light on the story.
00:06:22.000 Whenever I say that, people are like, how could you say that?
00:06:24.000 Not only, it's just the melody isn't anything special, but it is a horrible song if you actually listen to it.
00:06:30.000 It's changing now.
00:06:31.000 Apply the words.
00:06:32.000 It sucks.
00:06:33.000 It's total collectivism.
00:06:34.000 And by the way, here to deliver, and I used to get crap, but here to deliver a more accurate version of Imagine is our very own show favorite, Owen Benjamin.
00:06:44.000 Owen!
00:06:44.000 Thank you Steven.
00:06:45.000 I always liked the song Imagine by John Lennon until I really listened to the lyrics and then I noticed some stuff.
00:06:52.000 So here's my impression of my reaction to the lyrics of Imagine by John Lennon.
00:07:08.000 Didn't you write this in a 30 million dollar apartment?
00:07:13.000 It's easy if you try.
00:07:16.000 I don't even have to try John Lennon, I'm actually poor.
00:07:20.000 No hell below us.
00:07:24.000 So then what's stopping me from shooting you?
00:07:28.000 Above us only sky.
00:07:30.000 Then where is my nana?
00:07:34.000 Imagine there's no countries.
00:07:37.000 Then why'd you move to America and not Nigeria, you limey bastard?
00:07:42.000 Do you even pay our taxes?
00:07:44.000 It isn't hard to do.
00:07:47.000 Then get out of America if you don't believe in countries!
00:07:51.000 It's actually an infuriating song about communism written by one of the richest people in America at the time.
00:07:59.000 So, yeah.
00:08:02.000 Congratulations, Yoko Ono.
00:08:04.000 Thank you, Owen.
00:08:05.000 We appreciate it.
00:08:06.000 In hindsight, the original.
00:08:07.000 It sucks!
00:08:08.000 It sucks!
00:08:09.000 You suck!
00:08:09.000 You're nothing!
00:08:10.000 You're no talent!
00:08:12.000 Never be good.
00:08:12.000 If you were any good, you'd go and get yourself a gig.
00:08:16.000 Instead of getting assassinated in front of your Upper West Side penthouse and ruining everyone's rest of the day.
00:08:21.000 Sad voice.
00:08:22.000 That costume.
00:08:24.000 We've tried to get him on the show.
00:08:26.000 I don't think we will.
00:08:27.000 He's a far-left feminist.
00:08:28.000 All right.
00:08:29.000 Surprised.
00:08:30.000 Virginia Governor Terry McAuliffe.
00:08:33.000 I've got to make sure I've got his name right.
00:08:34.000 He claimed at a press conference that gun violence kills 93 million Americans.
00:08:41.000 I have long advocated.
00:08:44.000 This is not what today is about, but there are too many guns on the street.
00:08:48.000 We lose 93 million Americans a day to gun violence.
00:08:52.000 I mean, I've long talked about this.
00:08:54.000 And I know what you're thinking.
00:08:55.000 That sounds bad on its surface, but surely that was just a one-time gap.
00:08:59.000 But this, obviously, with 93 million people a day, it's just something.
00:09:04.000 See the guy in the background?
00:09:06.000 Like, yeah, yeah, that's right.
00:09:07.000 Of course.
00:09:08.000 By the way, when questions on his blatantly fallacious numbers, the governor claimed he was dyslexic.
00:09:14.000 And when they informed him that dyslexia only affects letters, not numbers, he drank a bucket of salt water, crapped himself, and went unconscious.
00:09:19.000 So, don't expect a ton of...
00:09:23.000 A reasonable response.
00:09:24.000 But 93 million Americans, one of those things sometimes we think, it seems so high that you're like, maybe there's something that I'm missing.
00:09:29.000 So here to make sure we get this right is our on the field fact check reporter.
00:09:33.000 Yes, our on the field fact check reporter because he couldn't do this from home.
00:09:44.000 So, Lotta with Crowder, on the field, fact check reporter.
00:09:47.000 I think you're there.
00:09:48.000 Can you answer me?
00:09:49.000 Is his claim that 93 million Americans lose their lives to a gun every day?
00:09:53.000 Is that true?
00:09:54.000 What?
00:09:55.000 I believe we've cleared that up.
00:09:56.000 Thank you very much, Mr.
00:09:57.000 fact check reporter on the field.
00:09:58.000 It's always useful.
00:10:09.000 It's always useful to have people out in the field.
00:10:11.000 I think we'll make good use of him.
00:10:13.000 Busy street, too.
00:10:14.000 He just goes in the field and uses his iPad.
00:10:17.000 Really, it's just a travel expense.
00:10:20.000 Clever one.
00:10:21.000 Good gig if you can get it.
00:10:22.000 Clever.
00:10:22.000 Alright, so this is, we have to get to our guest soon, but this was a New York Times, this is why people use the term fake news.
00:10:27.000 This was in the New York Times, we read it this morning, we knew right away, we wrote about it loudwithcudder.com, the politicization in the wrong way about this tragedy.
00:10:36.000 Not the politicization in the way that the guy was a radical leftist Bernie supporter who wanted to kill people because of their political beliefs, but politicization with gun control.
00:10:45.000 So, there was a piece called Rhetoric and Bullets, written by Charles M. Blow in the New York Times, and it's so riddled with bullcrap.
00:10:57.000 Gentlemen, I think this requires a conference call.
00:10:59.000 Drops call.
00:11:00.000 Hello, Commissioner Bullshit.
00:11:07.000 Bullshit, man.
00:11:08.000 Oh, it's Crowder!
00:11:09.000 How'd he get this number?
00:11:10.000 I don't know.
00:11:10.000 I told you not to give it out at parties.
00:11:12.000 We'll talk about that later.
00:11:14.000 Never mind that.
00:11:15.000 Hey, bulls**t, man, have you been reading this article here at the New York Times?
00:11:19.000 Have you seen that today yet?
00:11:20.000 Yes, of course I read the New York Times article.
00:11:22.000 Bulls**t, man, you don't think I'm on this?
00:11:24.000 Uh-huh.
00:11:25.000 Okay, hold the phone for me.
00:11:27.000 Yes.
00:11:29.000 Not so tiny, Kenny, if I'm in the receipt.
00:11:31.000 There we go.
00:11:32.000 Yes.
00:11:33.000 No, the very first paragraph reads, in 2011, after Representative Gabby Giffords of Arizona was gravely injured and six others were killed by a shooter in Tucson, they opened the column by Yeah, but what else does it go on to say?
00:11:55.000 Yes, Republican personalities and officials in the wake of Barack Obama's election had spoken openly about the Second Amendment remedies and being armed and dangerous and revolution, but it was not possible to connect the dots between that irresponsible talk and Tucson Tudor.
00:12:11.000 See, he says connect the dots, but do you notice something?
00:12:14.000 The quotes have no references, are completely unsubstantiated, and does not bullshit!
00:12:20.000 Yeah, well, it definitely does seem as though, uh, as though it's pretty clear, I'd agree.
00:12:26.000 I know, he clearly knows the motive.
00:12:28.000 Hold on, let me skip that.
00:12:29.000 Okay, then he writes, as Kathy Waldman wrote for Slate last June, this is the New York Times, and one of the first source links in the piece is Slate!
00:12:40.000 That's his first reference?
00:12:41.000 That is bullshit!
00:12:43.000 Give me the phone.
00:12:44.000 Really?
00:12:45.000 Slate?
00:12:45.000 That's a first one.
00:12:47.000 That's not surprising though.
00:12:48.000 Does it get any worse?
00:12:49.000 Oh, it gets worse.
00:12:50.000 Okay.
00:12:51.000 Couple paragraphs down.
00:12:53.000 He writes, the shooter, identified as James T. Hoskinson, appears to have had strong liberal, anti-Trump, anti-Republican views.
00:13:01.000 Sounds like we're going in the right direction.
00:13:03.000 But then he says, among other things, he was a volunteer for the Bernie Sanders campaign.
00:13:05.000 I like where this is going.
00:13:06.000 But at the time of this, Yeah, that seems like a pretty obvious pivot if a stretch of a point.
00:13:23.000 I know, that was pretty bad.
00:13:24.000 Okay, hold on, hold on.
00:13:25.000 There's more.
00:13:26.000 It gets worse.
00:13:27.000 Let's see.
00:13:27.000 Bullshit.
00:13:29.000 Bullshit.
00:13:30.000 Okay, here's some real bullshit.
00:13:32.000 He writes without a hint of irony in this paragraph, and I quote, What I abhor is ideological exploitation that reduces these acts to a political sport and uses them as weapons to silence political opponents and their rhetoric.
00:13:49.000 What's wrong with bulls**t boy?
00:13:51.000 Bulls**t man!
00:13:51.000 I have a lack of self-awareness headache!
00:13:54.000 Oh!
00:13:55.000 Quick!
00:13:56.000 Take his anti-bulls**t pills!
00:13:58.000 Take two and call me in the morning.
00:14:00.000 Wait!
00:14:01.000 With your body weight, take one.
00:14:02.000 Do you take two?
00:14:03.000 Oh, s**t!
00:14:04.000 You'll just sleep a while.
00:14:06.000 Okay, he then goes on to write.
00:14:09.000 As the Washington Post reported, Wednesday's shooting was the 154th shooting so far this year in America.
00:14:17.000 That's 154 mass shootings in just 165 days.
00:14:20.000 Violence, particularly gun violence, is the American fact.
00:14:23.000 The American shame.
00:14:25.000 What?
00:14:27.000 BUSH! And he ended up the transition into this, okay?
00:14:31.000 The very next paragraph.
00:14:32.000 This country has a violent culture.
00:14:34.000 Yes, that's true.
00:14:36.000 We do have a violent culture in one place.
00:14:39.000 It's cool.
00:14:40.000 And then right here, he's politicizing this issue by denying the fact that the shooter was a Bernie Sanders supporter.
00:14:48.000 Instead, pivoting to gun control to politicize the both.
00:14:52.000 It's so much bullshit.
00:14:54.000 Okay, you sound like you're getting a little, you sound like you're getting a little worked up.
00:15:00.000 I can't hear you.
00:15:00.000 I can't hear you that well.
00:15:02.000 What's going on there? - No, I didn't get all that because bulls**t boys in a fetal position Hold on.
00:15:10.000 Write another paragraph.
00:15:12.000 He says, Yeah,
00:15:54.000 I hear you bullshit, man.
00:15:55.000 It definitely does seem as though there's been a culture of violence.
00:16:00.000 It does seem like there's been a shift in tone.
00:16:02.000 You know, you do have to wonder how much of it for which the left is culpable, if at all.
00:16:07.000 Well, that's very astute, because the answer to that violence might be right here.
00:16:12.000 He concludes the article by writing in some rhetoric is necessary and real.
00:16:17.000 I believe Donald Trump and Republican-elect Congress are attempting to do very serious harm to the country and its most vulnerable citizens.
00:16:23.000 And I will never stop saying so in the strongest terms I can summon.
00:16:27.000 For many people, this isn't an abstract policy debate between partisans.
00:16:32.000 For them, these debates, like about repealing the Affordable Care Act, for example, is about life and death.
00:16:38.000 But that has nothing to do with promotion of physical violence.
00:16:40.000 It has everything to do with protecting the country from administrative and legislative violence.
00:16:47.000 Oh, bullshit!
00:16:49.000 On a stick with a Swedish rape whistle!
00:16:52.000 What the fu- Oh, okay, so, um, and it goes on- That the Republicans are trying to legislate violence against its citizens, and then wonders why its leftist citizens react violently.
00:17:08.000 If they leave their systemic violence against citizens, that is, I call it an authoritarian regime, and the response to act violently is appropriate that this is so much bullshit, I can't hear it!
00:17:18.000 And I don't want you calling this number again!
00:17:21.000 It's a commissioner bullshit explosive!
00:17:24.000 Okay, thank you, bullshit man.
00:17:26.000 Thank you.
00:17:27.000 No, I, yeah.
00:17:28.000 Ah, right, well, that's, I think, I think he's done.
00:17:30.000 He is very helpful, but you know what?
00:17:32.000 The man is very passionate.
00:17:33.000 And sometimes that's just part of the struggle.
00:17:35.000 We have Dave Cullen coming up next, and then Dave Rubin.
00:17:38.000 We have Dave Cullen coming up next, and then Dave Rubin.
00:18:08.000 We have Dave Cullen coming up next, and then Dave Rubin.
00:18:38.000 We have Dave Cullen coming up next, and then Dave Rubin.
00:19:02.000 We have Dave Cullen coming up next, and Dave Rubin.
00:19:32.000 Dave Rubin.
00:19:56.000 All right, glad to have our next guest on the program.
00:20:00.000 We missed him!
00:20:01.000 We missed him completely.
00:20:02.000 When we were in Ireland, and we were going back and forth on Twitter direct message.
00:20:04.000 His YouTube channel, I hope I get this, I'm going to get the number wrong, is youtube.com slash L-A-C-K 78.
00:20:11.000 Dave Cullen on the Twitter, what is Dave Cullen F-F? C-F. C-F. Dave, at Dave Cullen C-F, at Dave Cullen C-F, at Dave Cullen C-F, because now three times we'll make up for it.
00:20:20.000 Dave Cullen, thank you for being on the show, sir.
00:20:22.000 Thank you for having me, Stephen.
00:20:24.000 What happened?
00:20:25.000 Why'd you just put on that creepy voice?
00:20:26.000 I have no idea.
00:20:27.000 My professional speaking voice.
00:20:30.000 I need to appropriate Englishness or something.
00:20:32.000 This is cultural appropriation night again, is it not?
00:20:34.000 This is, yes.
00:20:35.000 India today, because to appropriate is to appreciate one's culture.
00:20:39.000 Right.
00:20:39.000 Fantastic.
00:20:40.000 Yeah, we go all out.
00:20:42.000 This is Texas Week.
00:20:46.000 Yeah, Texas.
00:20:47.000 A lot of Indians have relatives who live there.
00:20:49.000 A lot of Indians in those neighborhoods because of the tech jobs.
00:20:51.000 To a certain point where it's just like, there are neighborhoods that are entirely Indian.
00:20:55.000 The only markets are Indian markets, which, I mean, it's good.
00:20:58.000 You know what to find.
00:20:59.000 Delicious stuff.
00:21:00.000 Curry everywhere.
00:21:01.000 Mr.
00:21:01.000 Cullen, first off, why did you not come out and see us in Ireland?
00:21:06.000 Well, firstly, I only find out that you're in Ireland when you message me and DM said, hey, come on out to the show.
00:21:13.000 We're starting in an hour and a half.
00:21:15.000 That's true.
00:21:16.000 I'm three hours.
00:21:18.000 It's not a big country, but I'm three hours away.
00:21:18.000 That sounds like you.
00:21:22.000 I don't know what happened there.
00:21:23.000 But I've got to ask, you went to Ennis.
00:21:26.000 Yeah.
00:21:27.000 Why there?
00:21:28.000 You went straight to the Cliffs of Moher, and then you went to Ennis.
00:21:30.000 Yes.
00:21:31.000 Okay, so Senator Rick Santorum's daughter was getting married, and so there was a big wedding there at the Drummond Castle.
00:21:38.000 So, yeah, we were there, and so that kind of dictated where we had to be.
00:21:38.000 Yeah.
00:21:42.000 And then this one bar, pub, was it Lucas Bar?
00:21:46.000 Lucas Bar.
00:21:46.000 And Ennis said, sure, we'll host you.
00:21:48.000 And the guy was really nice.
00:21:49.000 For someone, he was personally left, but was really respectful and let us broadcast from there.
00:21:54.000 So it was kind of determined by who would have us.
00:21:58.000 I just would have loved if you'd gone to Moneygall.
00:22:01.000 You know of Moneygall?
00:22:02.000 I don't.
00:22:03.000 You don't?
00:22:04.000 Oh my god.
00:22:05.000 I can't believe you don't.
00:22:06.000 So Moneygall is this very small, rinky-dink rural town in the middle of nowhere on the border of Offaly and Tipperary.
00:22:13.000 And it's basically the entire town has become a shrine to Barack Obama.
00:22:19.000 Well, how could I not know?
00:22:19.000 Oh.
00:22:20.000 You should write travel commercials.
00:22:21.000 Yes, yes.
00:22:23.000 It's very enticing.
00:22:25.000 I can't wait.
00:22:27.000 So basically, they have American flags.
00:22:29.000 I have to go and see this because he visited there.
00:22:31.000 That was his ancestral home.
00:22:32.000 And they have American flags on the other side of the street.
00:22:35.000 And every store, the hardware store, the pub, the restaurants, everything is something Obama in the name now.
00:22:40.000 And it was hilarious when he was here because he went to MoneyGall.
00:22:44.000 And he went to see the ancestral house.
00:22:46.000 So he goes in, and the thing is, they're like, this must be very moving for President Obama to finally see the ancestral home of his relative.
00:22:55.000 Okay, very tenuous connection to his relative.
00:22:57.000 This was not the original home, okay?
00:22:59.000 This building had been demolished 150 years ago.
00:23:03.000 So he was just walking into someone, random person's house.
00:23:03.000 Really?
00:23:07.000 You know, this must have been the original Wi-Fi connection that they had back in the 80s.
00:23:12.000 As you can see, that's the Xbox 360 controller back then.
00:23:15.000 They didn't even have one.
00:23:17.000 It was still 360.
00:23:20.000 Sorry, I know Irish people will get mad if we even do the accent.
00:23:22.000 But any time I talk about someone, I do impressions of what they sounded like.
00:23:25.000 Like people selling stones at the cliffs of Moor.
00:23:27.000 By the way, really boring stones.
00:23:30.000 We sell stones, like limestones.
00:23:34.000 I've never seen it.
00:23:36.000 I've never been to the Cliffs of Moher.
00:23:37.000 I've done very little tourism in my own country.
00:23:39.000 Do you have sapphire?
00:23:40.000 No.
00:23:40.000 No, no sapphire.
00:23:41.000 Just your basic, just your granite.
00:23:43.000 We have granite stones.
00:23:44.000 It's like, why are you selling these?
00:23:46.000 Why are you here?
00:23:48.000 Because I got to show off at 10.30 to work.
00:23:51.000 Nothing was open.
00:23:52.000 I'll say this about Ireland.
00:23:53.000 Nothing was open in multiple towns until 9.30.
00:23:56.000 They laughed at us when we said we wanted to get coffee at 8.
00:23:59.000 I'm sure it's probably different in downtown Dublin, but it seems like that was pretty normal across the rest of Ireland.
00:24:06.000 Yeah, Dublin is as cosmopolitan as anywhere.
00:24:09.000 I often joke now that there's a large Irish community in Dublin, actually.
00:24:13.000 Everything is open relatively early, so it's...
00:24:18.000 Yeah, I mean, it's like a mini London in that sense.
00:24:21.000 But when you're out west, particularly, it's as rural as it gets.
00:24:23.000 So it's a very much slower pace of life, which I'm quite fond of when I do some traveling around the country.
00:24:30.000 Listen, I get that.
00:24:31.000 I will tell you this.
00:24:31.000 I never want to insult a country land, but because so many people are saying it is life changing and a lot of these people at the wedding, they would go back every year.
00:24:40.000 Ireland was good, but, you know, it could just be because it went to the cliffs of Mormon.
00:24:40.000 Like, I'm good.
00:24:44.000 It was raining.
00:24:45.000 It's nice, but I don't need to come back again.
00:24:50.000 Namely, just because it just...
00:24:51.000 We have all of that in the States.
00:24:53.000 Like, I thought the country...
00:24:54.000 If you actually see, like, New England in the fall, or even, like, northern Michigan, the dunes and the cliffs that we have, we have a lot of that topography.
00:25:01.000 So I was expecting something, I guess...
00:25:04.000 I guess I was expecting more like the Highlands, which of course, you know, that's Scottish.
00:25:08.000 But a beautiful country.
00:25:09.000 People were very, very nice.
00:25:11.000 One thing we talked about, and you could probably, you'd probably know about this better than I would, when asked individually, you know, if people watch our live broadcast from the pub, people were much more right-leaning than they thought.
00:25:21.000 But then they would say, you know, you screwed up!
00:25:23.000 Vote Hillary Clinton next time!
00:25:24.000 And then it was like, wait, hold on a second.
00:25:25.000 You just said we need to do something about Islamic terrorism and radicalization in Ireland.
00:25:29.000 Why is there that disconnect there?
00:25:32.000 There's always a kind of a hedging, I find.
00:25:33.000 You've got to remember, political correctness, that little worm that gets in your head, like it's a virus, it still operates in people's minds, I think.
00:25:42.000 So they will say things to you and be quite honest, and they'll say, oh, you know, this, this, and whatever, but then they'll always hedge.
00:25:48.000 They'll pull back just a little bit.
00:25:49.000 Oh, no, but I'm all for, you know, I'm not racist, but my country is changing before my very eyes.
00:25:54.000 They always pull back just a little bit.
00:25:56.000 So with the media here and what's happened in college campuses as well, we have much of the same stuff.
00:26:02.000 It's a little bit on a lower boil than what you have in Canada and the United States.
00:26:06.000 But it's very left.
00:26:10.000 There's nothing positive that will ever be said by RT News or TV3 or any of the other mainstream publications here or any of the Irish Times or The Independent about Donald Trump.
00:26:19.000 It will always be something negative.
00:26:21.000 And I think it does have an effect on people.
00:26:23.000 Well, you just said less so maybe than the United States and Canada.
00:26:25.000 You would think your media is less left-leaning than our media?
00:26:28.000 No, I mean the colleges probably aren't quite as...
00:26:31.000 Okay.
00:26:32.000 They don't quite have the weaponized leftist autism that you guys have.
00:26:36.000 Yeah, it's the left by default position, not necessarily the we're going to try and stab a policeman with a flagpole and a silver nail because we're Antifa type people.
00:26:45.000 Yeah, we have some Antifa guys, and I actually had my first threat from Antifa only a few weeks ago, so obviously I'm doing something right.
00:26:55.000 Is that why I have the beard?
00:26:56.000 Is it like padding?
00:26:57.000 Or would it act like grip tape and make the shock absorb directly to create blunt force trauma in the brain?
00:27:02.000 It's like the whole side of Velcro.
00:27:03.000 Yes!
00:27:04.000 He loses his fist in my face, yeah.
00:27:08.000 So, okay, so where do you think this goes then with Ireland?
00:27:10.000 Because you're saying it's not as bad in the colleges.
00:27:13.000 And I did find, I will say, funny enough, the one guy who was an absolute dick...
00:27:18.000 Remember who said, he didn't want to talk to me, he would only talk to my wife, even though she's far more to the right than I am, but she's hot.
00:27:23.000 He was from London, remember?
00:27:26.000 He was from London, and he just hated Donald Trump and said he wanted to see him die.
00:27:30.000 But all the Irish people who disagreed were still pretty respectful, which surprised me considering how default left they were, not aggressively left.
00:27:40.000 Would you say that's more common there, or is that transitioning now where they're becoming like American social justice?
00:27:46.000 Maybe they're just drunk.
00:27:46.000 Maybe they were drunk.
00:27:47.000 Who knows?
00:27:48.000 Who knows?
00:27:49.000 There is, but I think...
00:27:52.000 It's strange.
00:27:53.000 I mean, maybe it's just he's coming from the UK and they've had political correctness a hell of a lot longer than we have.
00:27:58.000 But I think in general, there has been a breakdown.
00:28:02.000 And this is something that I know you've spoken to Stefan Molyneux about as well.
00:28:06.000 Ireland used to have this presence of being quite monolithic with respect to the Judeo-Christian values and Catholicism, almost obviously to an extreme.
00:28:16.000 And the Catholic Church had a very cast iron grip on pretty much everything.
00:28:20.000 Yeah.
00:28:20.000 But I think that we've surrendered that by degrees gradually.
00:28:26.000 And there are some people...
00:28:28.000 In a way, I think of...
00:28:31.000 Ireland less like a future Sweden, which it may very well be.
00:28:34.000 Yeah.
00:28:34.000 But more like the way I keep hearing people saying Texas.
00:28:38.000 Texas is becoming more liberal because a hell of a lot of people from California moved to Texas.
00:28:42.000 And they're starting to bring the right.
00:28:43.000 So my Uber driver this morning was from.
00:28:45.000 I think you probably heard that on this show.
00:28:47.000 Yes.
00:28:48.000 Yes.
00:28:48.000 We talk about it a lot.
00:28:49.000 Sorry.
00:28:50.000 Continue.
00:28:50.000 Yeah.
00:28:50.000 No, I think it is.
00:28:52.000 And so I think it's just a matter of time before you're going to see that critical mass.
00:28:56.000 But look, I mean, I try and avoid talking politics in the pub when I do.
00:29:03.000 It's always kind of very hushed whispers if I meet a like-minded soul, you know, who's like, yeah, you know, feminism or social justice or Trump or whatever.
00:29:13.000 We can't say anything.
00:29:14.000 We can't say that.
00:29:15.000 So it's tough.
00:29:16.000 And most everybody has bought into the political correct lie.
00:29:20.000 The Scotsman didn't care at the pub.
00:29:22.000 Remember he was the one guy who came up and said, what do you think?
00:29:23.000 He said, I like Trump!
00:29:26.000 Because he's a f***ing man!
00:29:28.000 And he just didn't care.
00:29:30.000 It was the drunken Scotsman came in and he was like, I don't know if that's just part of their culture.
00:29:34.000 He just couldn't care less if the people in the bar wanted to kick his ass.
00:29:40.000 We had to hustle him off.
00:29:42.000 So, you know, it's a shame that you talk about that.
00:29:43.000 And then I want to get to the YouTube front.
00:29:44.000 But you mentioned sort of Catholicism having an iron fist in Ireland.
00:29:48.000 You know, in Quebec, that was the case.
00:29:49.000 I was raised in Catholic public schools.
00:29:52.000 And obviously, if you look at people who identify more as people who believe in God or are Christians, far, far lower all across Europe than in the United States, where we had no state-enforced religion or denomination.
00:30:03.000 And so often people think, we're going to actually have a Catholic apologist come on and talk to me about this.
00:30:08.000 They confuse this as anti-Catholicism when I say, actually, no, I just need you to understand this.
00:30:13.000 Anywhere the Catholic Church has ruled politically, it's lent itself to corruption, and then people reject faith.
00:30:23.000 Yeah, yeah, no it is.
00:30:25.000 A classic example of that might have been, this is perhaps one of the more controversial videos that I uploaded, but it was with respect to the 2015, it was the gay marriage referendum that we had here, the marriage equality referendum.
00:30:39.000 And I think a lot, the only real, somewhat credible, no side campaign was the Catholic Church.
00:30:48.000 And I think a lot of Irish people felt This has always been my theory as to why Ireland has become as liberal as it is.
00:30:53.000 It was a pendulum swing against the Catholic Church.
00:30:55.000 They thought it's a zero-sum game.
00:30:57.000 In order for the Catholic Church to lose, and they must lose, we must vote yes, because they're no.
00:31:02.000 And that was just simply that.
00:31:04.000 And so I think it's very similar to what you're describing.
00:31:08.000 It was a case of, look, you lose the vote.
00:31:10.000 Look, I'm an atheist myself, but I've passed the angry atheist phase, I think a little bit like Stefan, because I know you guys spoke about this recently on the show.
00:31:17.000 Sure.
00:31:17.000 And it's a little bit a case of, look, the values were useful with respect to family and building a civilization as a key pillar of your nation, and we've surrendered that.
00:31:30.000 So I think what you end up having is this values vacuum.
00:31:34.000 and it's going to be filled by relativism and relativism is just simply going to say well if all cultures are basically created equally then we have to accept the culture that is intolerant of every other culture yeah so if you tolerate that what do you think is going to happen that one is going to be the dominant one so that's ultimately the fear is that in a sense that this moral relativism that we have now from the left is a transport vehicle a trojan horse that will that will enable the shariaization of your country what What kind of secularization we've talked about creates a vacuum.
00:32:03.000 In Islam, if you look at their political prescription, they talk about filling those vacuums and how to do so.
00:32:08.000 And it's penetrating in the Christian communities where you see people taking verses saying the idea that all humans are created equal.
00:32:14.000 Sure.
00:32:15.000 And then, like you said, All cultures must be also equal.
00:32:20.000 All ideas must be created equal, and they're not.
00:32:23.000 Final point, because I'm surprised how quickly this feels like it's going along.
00:32:26.000 We have to bring you back, and next time we're in Ireland, if it happens, or if you're stateside.
00:32:30.000 Let me ask you this.
00:32:30.000 Do you think because you've seen this happen in Europe, Because I've noticed this, a lot of sort of classical liberal atheists in Europe are those who fight the most for freedom of speech and against political correctness, particularly on YouTube.
00:32:42.000 You've covered this really well in a very fair approach to what YouTube is doing and how they're demonetizing videos and the self-censorship.
00:32:49.000 Do you think you have maybe an extra sensitivity because you've seen it happen culturally, kind of where you live, and now you're seeing it happen online, digitally?
00:33:02.000 You mean that we kind of feel like, hey, they're just coming after us specifically?
00:33:06.000 Yeah, well, like you said, all cultures and ideas are created equal, right?
00:33:09.000 This is the idea kind of in Europe.
00:33:11.000 Therefore, that means you can't offend any of these cultures or ideas, and that's the stance YouTube's taken, and obviously Facebook, and you've talked about that.
00:33:18.000 Oh, yeah, no, absolutely.
00:33:20.000 As I've said before, the community guidelines of these social networks are...
00:33:24.000 I mean, it's easy for a government to simply place pressure on a corporation and say, change your community guidelines, because ultimately, if you look at them, they are the future laws set in stone.
00:33:31.000 It's harder and takes a little bit longer with, you know, political bureaucracy to get laws passed.
00:33:36.000 But, you know, you look at what's there with respect to hate speech on Twitter or Facebook or YouTube, and you are reading the future legislation of your countries, which is what you're seeing in the likes of Canada with Bill C-16 or...
00:33:49.000 Bill 89 or M103 or whatever it might be, or the hate speech laws that are being brought into the UK. You're reading what will rule you in the future, I think.
00:33:59.000 Yeah.
00:33:59.000 And do you think that that'll be self-correcting because of the market on YouTube?
00:34:03.000 I mean, conservatives, people like you and even myself, they dominate the YouTube political sphere right now.
00:34:07.000 It's not even close because there's been such a pendulum swing back.
00:34:10.000 Do you think YouTube will have to respond to market forces or do you think they'll commit digital suicide?
00:34:15.000 I think they will commit digital suicide, and I'll tell you why.
00:34:18.000 I wouldn't have thought that if they weren't focused on developing YouTube TV. And I still think that YouTube TV will create a two-tier YouTube.
00:34:26.000 So you're going to have this new on-demand streaming service that they're developing for ridiculous $35 a month, and they're placing, I think, more of their eggs in that basket.
00:34:34.000 You've got to remember that YouTube is not profitable for Google.
00:34:37.000 And also, on YouTube TV, the only YouTube aspects of it are the heavily curated trending feed.
00:34:46.000 So you and I don't rank there, and also YouTube Red.
00:34:49.000 So I'm not really seeing this love for the...
00:34:54.000 Grassroots content creators that built the platform and made it what it is right now.
00:34:57.000 So I'm not convinced that we're going to have a long-term future on this platform, but thankfully there are others emerging.
00:35:02.000 Well, that's why we created Mug Club, and Stefan Molyneux is a member of CRTV, because we still think it's very important to be on YouTube since they hate us, since it is so left.
00:35:13.000 Ironically, having people support us off-site, pay for premium content, is what allows us to create more free content.
00:35:19.000 Now, where can people support you?
00:35:22.000 On Patreon, for now, I guess, which is one system.
00:35:26.000 And, you know, if you want to throw me a dollar over on Vidme, which also has a kind of similar system for premium subscriptions.
00:35:33.000 Yeah, and maybe we can talk about Offair, because we're going to, obviously, we have everything at CRTV.com and lottowithcrowder.com, but we'll want to get it on another video platform, because right now it's YouTube and Facebook, and it's awful.
00:35:43.000 It's awful.
00:35:44.000 Dave Cullen, thank you so much, sir.
00:35:45.000 We'll have to have you back soon.
00:35:46.000 next time we're in the same country, which could be never.
00:35:48.000 Yes.
00:35:48.000 Many of you are still unaware of the items available at louderwithcrowdershop.com.
00:35:58.000 Not only do they make you look and feel better, but they serve a multitude of purposes.
00:36:03.000 Like our Socialism is for fag shirts, assisting in identifying potential allies.
00:36:07.000 I found that shirt very offensive.
00:36:11.000 I think it's pretty funny.
00:36:15.000 Or our Bad Hombres Firearm t-shirt, helping you know who to avoid.
00:36:19.000 Am I to take that shirt to mean that you support some kind of firearm registry?
00:36:27.000 Or this one.
00:36:28.000 Hey, look, it's my face.
00:36:30.000 I hate it.
00:36:32.000 Though LotterWithCrowderShop.com isn't for everyone.
00:36:36.000 But can I buy the mug from the shop without joining the mug club?
00:36:38.000 No!
00:36:39.000 The rest of you, check out the merchandise at lotterwithcrowdershop.com today.
00:36:43.000 All right.
00:36:58.000 Glad to have our next guest on the program.
00:37:03.000 Unfortunately, he's calling today from Pittsburgh.
00:37:05.000 We can't tell because he's got the Lieutenant Cabretti glasses.
00:37:08.000 You know him for the wonderful show, Rubin Report.
00:37:11.000 We've loved watching Mr.
00:37:13.000 Rubin come along the trail here.
00:37:15.000 What are you doing in Pittsburgh, though?
00:37:17.000 Well, Crowder, I don't like to brag, but I am in Pittsburgh right now.
00:37:22.000 You know, some people vacation on islands.
00:37:24.000 People go to Hawaii, you're Cabo, you're Cancun, that sort of thing.
00:37:29.000 I go to Pittsburgh.
00:37:30.000 I'm actually here.
00:37:31.000 I'm with ARI, the Ayn Rand Institute, and I did a live Reuben report last night for about 500 people, all talking about free speech.
00:37:39.000 Although, if you judge by the YouTube comments, it just means that I'm now, I've even further dissented into far-right speech.
00:37:46.000 Alt-right, white supremacist.
00:37:48.000 You know, your kind of stuff, Crowder.
00:37:49.000 Yes, exactly.
00:37:50.000 Because I'm hanging out with these people.
00:37:52.000 Even though I'm meeting just great, lovely, young college kids who all want to fight for free speech and your ability to think on your own, which apparently is a far-right rallying cry these days.
00:38:02.000 Well, I will say this, though.
00:38:03.000 I mean, you said you're a centrist, kind of, more center-left still.
00:38:08.000 You think the Liberal Democrat Party has left you.
00:38:11.000 But, I mean, you do have to admit, Ayn Rand Conference, you're kind of going the other direction on that one.
00:38:15.000 That's a curveball, even for your audience.
00:38:18.000 Well, no, you know, it's funny.
00:38:19.000 These guys, they approached me.
00:38:20.000 I had had your own Brooke, who you should definitely have on your show sometime.
00:38:24.000 He's the president of the organization.
00:38:26.000 I had had him on my show and just had a chat like I would with anyone else, with you or anybody.
00:38:31.000 And they had approached me and just to say, you know, do you want to do some stuff on colleges about free speech?
00:38:35.000 And I said, look, if we don't have to agree on all the economic stuff, if I don't have to be an objectivist myself, if we can just do free speech and if we agree on that, then that to me supersedes everything else.
00:38:46.000 So, yeah, I'm getting some flack for hanging out with them, but I don't regret it.
00:38:50.000 And you know what it's like if you do anything, if you do anything with associate with anyone.
00:38:55.000 That your intellectual opponents don't want you to, you're going to get hate.
00:38:59.000 So I leave my judgment up to myself, which I'm probably harsher than these morons anyway.
00:39:04.000 Well, you know, I've actually gotten that recently from, believe it or not, we talked about this, Catholics.
00:39:09.000 Just because I've talked about, you know, how I'm not a Catholic and I was recently at a Catholic wedding.
00:39:13.000 It was beautiful.
00:39:13.000 It was in Latin.
00:39:15.000 But I still don't agree with some of the theology.
00:39:17.000 And I said, you know, someone can come on and convert Crowder.
00:39:20.000 We can make a thing of it.
00:39:20.000 And people are like, why is your anti-Catholic bent showing?
00:39:22.000 I'm like, hold on, hold on, hold on.
00:39:23.000 I was at a Catholic wedding, like at table number two in Ireland, where they gave out rosaries.
00:39:29.000 I'm not anti-Catholic.
00:39:30.000 I just don't agree with all of it.
00:39:32.000 So everyone's got their own thing.
00:39:34.000 It seems like everyone's free speech until it's their thing.
00:39:37.000 I wonder if that still applies to some of these college students.
00:39:40.000 Yeah, well, of course it does.
00:39:41.000 Look, we all have ideological consistencies.
00:39:44.000 Dare I say, Crowder, even you and I, perhaps if somebody was to delve deep enough into the minds of the two of us, they might find something intellectually inconsistent.
00:39:53.000 I don't know off the top of my head.
00:39:55.000 But yeah, I mean, look, you know, it's funny you say that about Catholics, because I lately I'm getting a ton of email from Catholics and Christians in the middle of the country saying, Saying, wow, it's just refreshing to hear of a liberal that isn't just condemning us to hell, so to speak.
00:40:09.000 That's actually listening to us.
00:40:11.000 And, you know, that's why I've had Bishop Aaron from the Archdiocese of L.A. on my show.
00:40:15.000 And just today we posted an interview with Rabbi David Wolpe from Sinai Temple in Los Angeles.
00:40:21.000 And I'd be happy to talk to an imam or whoever, or an atheist or whatever.
00:40:25.000 Well, we've had Imam Chowder on the show.
00:40:26.000 Wanted me to die.
00:40:27.000 So that kind of went about as I expected it to.
00:40:29.000 Great guy.
00:40:29.000 Good buddy of mine.
00:40:30.000 Yeah, yeah.
00:40:31.000 We had to create an entirely new account just to call him.
00:40:34.000 Remember we put in those, like, Bitcoins to buy credits?
00:40:36.000 Use my account.
00:40:37.000 And the first thing he goes, we're calling, so where are you calling from?
00:40:39.000 We're like, oh, you know, West.
00:40:43.000 Wait a minute.
00:40:44.000 So you were basically funding terror?
00:40:47.000 No, no, no, no.
00:40:48.000 We didn't fund him.
00:40:49.000 With Bitcoin.
00:40:49.000 It was for us to be able to purchase Skype credits to call him.
00:40:53.000 Yeah, I wouldn't give him any money.
00:40:56.000 The man hasn't earned it.
00:40:58.000 Well, you know, depending who you ask, I guess.
00:41:00.000 Different strokes for different folks.
00:41:01.000 Let me ask you about this today.
00:41:03.000 Today, now, we know what happened yesterday.
00:41:05.000 We know what happened with the shooting.
00:41:07.000 We're talking about the first one.
00:41:08.000 Thank God no one was killed except for the scumbag who brought the rifle to a baseball game.
00:41:14.000 We kind of knew right on the outset.
00:41:17.000 There were enough reports.
00:41:18.000 I kind of thought it was suspect when he shot at the Republican dugout.
00:41:23.000 I thought that was a giveaway.
00:41:24.000 It wasn't a general spray and spray.
00:41:27.000 Are these Republicans or Democrats?
00:41:29.000 I'm going to shoot at that dugout.
00:41:31.000 But we may never know this young man's motives.
00:41:34.000 This comes in the wake of...
00:41:37.000 Antifa.
00:41:38.000 This comes in the wake of the Kathy Griffin who has every right to do what she did.
00:41:41.000 This comes in the wake of assassination of Trump at Shakespeare in the Park and CNN's Fareed Zacharias says it's a masterpiece.
00:41:47.000 I remember when they tried to blame Gabrielle Giffords on Sarah Palin because she had a congressional map with targets of seats that were up for grabs.
00:41:55.000 Do you think, as someone who's more of a centrist, I truly believe that there is a tone shift and there's a culture of violence that is okayed by the left today, which concerns me.
00:42:06.000 I mean, look, this is basically what I've been talking about for the last three years now, that the liberals are abandoning liberalism, which is based in logic and reason and live and let live.
00:42:17.000 They're abandoning it for progressivism, which, of course, as you know, is this collectivist ideology.
00:42:22.000 And that way, anyone that turns against it has to be purged out.
00:42:25.000 So the language, because they use these words of racist and bigot and homophobe and all this stuff, because they label everyone that they disagree with, not We're good to go.
00:42:51.000 I did a video at the beginning of the year, I think it was my first video of the year, where I said that 2017 is going to be the year of misdirected anger.
00:42:59.000 And I think that's very obviously what's happening.
00:43:02.000 These guys have now, they've tacitly endorsed it.
00:43:05.000 The language, look, I defended Kathy Griffin's statements, I defended Bill Maher's statements, which is a whole other thing, you know what he got in trouble for a couple weeks ago.
00:43:14.000 The play is, it's all kind of gross.
00:43:16.000 The play is kind of gross.
00:43:17.000 What Kathy did is kind of gross.
00:43:19.000 But I am a free speech absolutist.
00:43:21.000 You have to take that in the context of art.
00:43:23.000 But to your bigger point, yeah, they have been slowly going in this direction where if you keep saying Trump is Hitler, all of these people are Nazis, the GOP is all full of evil people and the conservatives are all trying to kill everybody.
00:43:39.000 And hate minorities.
00:43:40.000 Well, then, of course, you're going to get people doing this.
00:43:42.000 Well, let me ask you this.
00:43:43.000 Just point blank.
00:43:43.000 Let's say you believed right now.
00:43:45.000 OK, let's say you actually believed that Trump was a Nazi, meaning you actually believe Trump was Hitler, meaning he was killing innocent people who or political dissidents.
00:43:54.000 And you believe he was doing it in massive numbers.
00:43:56.000 Wouldn't violent steps be appropriate if that were the case?
00:44:01.000 Well, there's an interesting philosophical discussion to be had on that, that, you know, if Hitler, if you knew years before what Hitler was going to do, would it be ethically or morally responsible or right?
00:44:12.000 But I don't think that applies here, because I'm saying if you already knew that he was doing it now, which is basically what the left is saying, my point is, of course you can excuse reacting violently if you think Trump is killing Jews or blacks or liberals or whatever.
00:44:24.000 If you think that, if you genuinely think that, Yeah, you're going to act out violently.
00:44:28.000 I know that if I believed Barack Obama was gassing Christians because he was a secret Muslim born in Kenya, if I actually believed that, I'd be like, okay, there needs to be more than a harsh letter.
00:44:38.000 And, you know, I do wonder how much of it is them just wanting an excuse to act out versus people who've actually bought into the rhetoric and believe it like this shooter.
00:44:48.000 It's hard to delineate now.
00:44:49.000 Well, look, let's be clear about this.
00:44:52.000 First off, is it true?
00:44:53.000 I don't want to spread a rumor, but I heard that this guy might have volunteered for the Sanders campaign.
00:44:58.000 That's true.
00:44:59.000 Yes.
00:44:59.000 Bernie Sanders acknowledged it.
00:45:01.000 Of course!
00:45:02.000 Okay, so I've been running around over here, so I'm a little behind.
00:45:06.000 So, okay, so if that's true, and then I saw all his Facebook posts and all that stuff.
00:45:10.000 Yeah.
00:45:10.000 Well, imagine if it was reversed and this was a guy who volunteered for Trump and had all, you know, Infowars and Crowder and blah, blah, blah and all this stuff.
00:45:20.000 See what I did there?
00:45:21.000 I see what you did there.
00:45:22.000 I dig it.
00:45:23.000 I can appreciate the gem.
00:45:25.000 Wait, by the way, can we pause for a second?
00:45:26.000 Because you are seriously culturally appropriating something with that show right now.
00:45:30.000 It's Cultural Appropriation Month because to appropriate is to appreciate cultures and this week is India.
00:45:35.000 Oh, okay, okay.
00:45:36.000 Sorry.
00:45:36.000 Again, I'm a little behind on things here.
00:45:38.000 So look, if it had been the reverse, and it was a guy that volunteered for Trump and all that, and we saw all the sites he was on, everybody, we know what the narrative would be.
00:45:48.000 Everybody would be going bananas.
00:45:50.000 Everybody would be demanding Trump apologize and all that.
00:45:53.000 And it's like, look...
00:45:53.000 Sure.
00:45:55.000 This is what the left has been cultivating.
00:45:57.000 I don't blame Bernie for this.
00:45:58.000 I only blame the person who did it and the ideology where it came from.
00:46:02.000 This is why I've been spending so much time on the left, and I think I'm saving some of the refugees of the left, the people that don't want to be zombified.
00:46:10.000 But there's a huge battle here.
00:46:13.000 Well, I think it is something that, and the reason I think that now you're at this Ayn Rand Summit, people say, that's extreme!
00:46:19.000 I don't think it is.
00:46:20.000 But I think the reason that there's kind of this natural trajectory for everyone who is no longer a hardcore leftist.
00:46:27.000 I will say this.
00:46:28.000 You could walk right in there right now.
00:46:30.000 You could walk in the College of Republicans and just yell out, I'm gay and I like gay marriage, and you would never fear violence.
00:46:38.000 We had to fear being pro-right-to-work states if we went to union rallies.
00:46:43.000 We had to fear going to, you know, the Occupy Wall Street if we said that we don't believe in the policies of Barack Obama.
00:46:50.000 Conservatives have always had to fear violence if they go into leftist territory, whereas it does happen, but it's not the rule.
00:46:58.000 And every person who was a former liberal who we've had on the show or I've talked with personally has said there is a different tone where now that I'm on the right or even center, I fear I have to keep my head in a swill when I go to the leftist stuff if I disagree.
00:47:12.000 And we talked about it yesterday.
00:47:13.000 We talked about how even the people that are labeled far-right extremists like the Portland Stabber, like the Dylann Roofs, registered Democrats.
00:47:21.000 Yeah.
00:47:22.000 Bernie supporters themselves.
00:47:24.000 Yeah.
00:47:24.000 Yeah, and look, we're not private investigators, so you don't want to go garner and glean too much information from what the guy had on Facebook or any of that stuff.
00:47:32.000 You have to wait and see.
00:47:33.000 But you can take some taste from that.
00:47:36.000 But your point is totally right.
00:47:37.000 Look, I did a thing, as I said, 500 people there last night.
00:47:40.000 I got a standing ovation.
00:47:41.000 I was making jokes about being gay married.
00:47:43.000 Now, the point though that you're getting to is because these ideologies, whether you fully buy objectivism or not, is irrelevant.
00:47:51.000 But any ideology that's more based in the individual and in liberty You're going to be more tolerant of other people.
00:47:58.000 So for me, I only get invited to colleges from the Young Republicans, Conservatives of Tomorrow, the Students for Liberty, blah, blah, blah.
00:48:07.000 I never, I mean, I kid you, not zero crowd or zero invites from Democrat this, progressive that, anything.
00:48:15.000 Gay married, pro-choice, pro-legalization of marijuana.
00:48:18.000 I'm against nation-building.
00:48:19.000 I'm against the death penalty.
00:48:21.000 So who is the tolerant side, you know?
00:48:23.000 Yeah, I know.
00:48:24.000 And here's one thing I do appreciate about you.
00:48:26.000 You know, we had Mark Duplass on a second time.
00:48:29.000 We had him on, and then I know he started making the rounds, which we're really happy to see him do.
00:48:33.000 But I know the second time we had him on, he said some things that I disagreed with.
00:48:37.000 I said, well, you know what, Mark?
00:48:37.000 I appreciate you coming on the show, but I have to correct that because that is factually inaccurate.
00:48:41.000 And he was a little taken aback.
00:48:43.000 He thought, well, I don't want to be combative.
00:48:45.000 I just want to listen.
00:48:46.000 And I appreciate that.
00:48:47.000 But I do think listening is only valuable if it is in search of truth.
00:48:52.000 And I do appreciate that even if you have people on your show, you're civil, but you're one of the few people who is civil and will still challenge guests and still ask questions and take an opposing viewpoint without being like, you're a dick!
00:49:02.000 So I do appreciate it about you.
00:49:04.000 Um...
00:49:06.000 That's why, just real quick, I mean, that's why I will always consider you more of an ally than people that supposedly are on my team that don't share that sentiment about what conversation is all about.
00:49:17.000 You know, we don't have to agree on everything at all.
00:49:21.000 The fact that we could do this, and I know you're a decent guy, and guess what?
00:49:23.000 We live in a freaking pluralistic society of 300 million people.
00:49:27.000 Guess what?
00:49:28.000 You've got to learn to tolerate other opinions.
00:49:30.000 Unless you want to live in North Korea or in Germany 1942.
00:49:34.000 Yeah.
00:49:35.000 Or North Korea, I think.
00:49:37.000 Any 42.
00:49:38.000 Just take any two.
00:49:40.000 Take any year ending or starting with two.
00:49:42.000 Any time on the clock with the 200.
00:49:44.000 Okay.
00:49:45.000 Or France 2017.
00:49:47.000 Oh, God, yeah, I know.
00:49:49.000 And Bernie thinks this is fresh.
00:49:50.000 He thinks European socialism is fresh and new.
00:49:52.000 That's another topic we discussed this week we'll get back into.
00:49:55.000 Hey, Rubin Report on YouTube, where people can find you.
00:49:57.000 Final question.
00:49:58.000 I know you said you joke about being gay married.
00:50:00.000 When you get gay married, do you exchange mirror-polished glasses?
00:50:08.000 You know, it's really, it's so sad here, because my life, outside of whatever the hell this is that I do, is so boring and regular, and we eat dinner, and we watch Seinfeld, and we go to sleep, and then we wake up and walk the dog.
00:50:24.000 I will forever picture you doing those things with these cobra glasses.
00:50:28.000 They are just absolutely hypnotizing.
00:50:31.000 Good on you.
00:50:32.000 You like that?
00:50:32.000 Isn't that nice?
00:50:33.000 They're very nice.
00:50:34.000 I just, you know, you are so generally kind of reserved.
00:50:38.000 The bling is a little unexpected, but you know what?
00:50:40.000 It works.
00:50:41.000 It works.
00:50:42.000 A little leave in Las Vegas.
00:50:43.000 I'm trying to be intimidating here on the mean streets of Pittsburgh, you know?
00:50:46.000 Yeah, intimidating with your glasses and your white iPhone.
00:50:49.000 He's in the worm, Tommy.
00:50:50.000 All right, that is YouTube.com slash Reuben Report.
00:50:53.000 Thank you for taking the time, sir, and stay safe, because I hear they're aggressive.
00:50:56.000 We'll be right back.
00:50:57.000 I just done that one.
00:51:01.000 The son of the queen.
00:51:02.000 You are going home.
00:51:05.000 Home Body Break with Stephen Proud and Not Gay Jerry.
00:51:10.000 Summer's a great time to be active and enjoy some of your favorite activities outside, like riding a bicycle.
00:51:17.000 Even better, it's a great time to take a new friend.
00:51:20.000 But most important, safety first.
00:51:23.000 Ensuring that people are wearing the right gear to ensure a pleasurable and injury-free experience.
00:51:29.000 It's also paramount to learn the proper safety hand signals.
00:51:33.000 For example, this means I'm turning left.
00:51:36.000 This means I'm turning right.
00:51:39.000 And most importantly, this means stop.
00:51:42.000 Now that we've taken the proper measures, it's time to stay safe and have fun.
00:51:47.000 Stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, stop!
00:51:59.000 Oh my god!
00:52:05.000 Home Body Break with Steven Crowder and Not Gay Jared.
00:52:09.000 Sponsored by Mug Club.
00:52:11.000 I don't know what that is.
00:52:34.000 I was trying to be flexible.
00:52:35.000 I picture their dances require a lot of flexibility.
00:52:39.000 They do.
00:52:40.000 I have no idea.
00:52:41.000 Apparently not super flexible as a culture, though, as seen by defecating in streets.
00:52:44.000 50% of Indians defecate wherever.
00:52:47.000 By the way, little known fact.
00:52:49.000 I know people are going to get really mad.
00:52:50.000 So 50% of Indians go out in the open.
00:52:54.000 True story, I swear as well.
00:52:56.000 For the first time ever...
00:52:58.000 Hopper got sick and defecated.
00:53:01.000 He had an accident in the house.
00:53:02.000 He used the corner.
00:53:05.000 So we're going to talk from...
00:53:06.000 Let's consider it, Breed.
00:53:09.000 Thank you so much, Dave Rubin, Dave Cullen.
00:53:10.000 Please follow them, support them.
00:53:12.000 And big week next week.
00:53:14.000 Next week we have, we'll be in New York.
00:53:16.000 We'll be broadcasting from New York because we're going for a YouTube conference.
00:53:19.000 Some of it's super secretive, but I think we're the only conservatives who have been invited out there to this summit.
00:53:23.000 So we'll be broadcasting on Wednesday from New York City.
00:53:27.000 Gavin McGinnis will be with us.
00:53:28.000 I think my lawyer Bill Richman will be with us.
00:53:31.000 We have a, well, I think we have Annie Cyrus on Monday.
00:53:34.000 And then Tuesday we have a full one-hour discussion with Dennis Prager.
00:53:37.000 So sit down, people People liked him so much on the show.
00:53:39.000 They said, listen, I would love it if you could have a long-term sit-down with him.
00:53:42.000 He's a guy whose brain I just love to pick.
00:53:45.000 He knows his stuff.
00:53:46.000 And it's funny, you know, before Dr.
00:53:49.000 Peterson and a lot of people have really found – they've found a lot of satisfaction, a lot of personal growth in people who will – They administer sort of these long-form videos or pieces of content.
00:54:01.000 They'll actually sit and listen, which, remember when the internet started?
00:54:03.000 There was no way.
00:54:04.000 They're like, no, it's short.
00:54:05.000 Always got to be short.
00:54:06.000 Short, short, short.
00:54:06.000 To the point where now YouTube, actually, their monetization is based on length.
00:54:09.000 They want things to be longer.
00:54:11.000 Yeah.
00:54:11.000 And they actually were incentivizing people by putting in more commercial breaks.
00:54:14.000 Which is funny because Facebook doesn't seem to get that.
00:54:16.000 They still seem...
00:54:17.000 The Facebook platform lends itself to really short...
00:54:19.000 Because it's the tender span of...
00:54:21.000 You know, like, it's there and gone.
00:54:22.000 Because it's scrolling through a timeline.
00:54:24.000 Timeline.
00:54:24.000 But that's not the general thing across the internet as a whole.
00:54:28.000 And you know what?
00:54:28.000 That's actually, that's proof positive that people who actually, oh gosh, my hair, there's no way to get this right after the wig.
00:54:33.000 No.
00:54:34.000 During the breaks I got, and now it just went, it's just, it's hard because of the headphones.
00:54:37.000 I give up.
00:54:38.000 That's one thing.
00:54:39.000 Indians, they have luscious, thick hair.
00:54:41.000 Good on them.
00:54:42.000 And mustaches.
00:54:43.000 Can't grow beards, though.
00:54:44.000 But this is proof positive.
00:54:45.000 Whenever someone says, oh, this culture is lost, I remember talking with some relatives who said, these kids, they have an attention span of 30 seconds.
00:54:52.000 That's all you can do.
00:54:52.000 I read a study that that's all they'll watch an online video for.
00:54:54.000 That was true when it started.
00:54:56.000 But here's the thing.
00:54:56.000 When an entire generation of people grow up with a technology that was new to you, they adapt, and the technology adapts.
00:55:03.000 Another example, remember pop-ups?
00:55:05.000 Remember how intrusive pop-ups were?
00:55:06.000 Now, if you go to a news site or something, you occasionally get a pop-up or pop-under ad, which really aggravates me.
00:55:12.000 I'm not talking about a pop-up sign-up for a mailing list.
00:55:14.000 We all kind of expect that.
00:55:15.000 You close it.
00:55:16.000 Remember when you started?
00:55:17.000 When you did your little Netscape Navigator as a kid?
00:55:20.000 It was horrible.
00:55:20.000 It was just pop-up after...
00:55:21.000 It was a roll of the dice every time you went to a new URL. Yeah, by the way, my first experience of that was...
00:55:26.000 I grew up VeggieTales fan.
00:55:29.000 Oh, no.
00:55:30.000 I thought LarryBoy.com might have been a good thing to...
00:55:35.000 Turns out it just riddles your page with pop-ups.
00:55:37.000 It's like your hard drive has AIDS, only there is no cure.
00:55:40.000 There's no Magic Johnson.
00:55:41.000 You live with it.
00:55:42.000 Your computer was done.
00:55:43.000 That got better.
00:55:44.000 People adapted.
00:55:46.000 Kind of like there were no young conservatives on YouTube when we started.
00:55:49.000 Sometimes things get better.
00:55:51.000 And I know the doom and gloom sells everybody.
00:55:53.000 Ad space and the conservative side.
00:55:55.000 But I will say this.
00:55:56.000 I really do have a lot of hope for...
00:55:59.000 For our generation, for generations that follow.
00:56:01.000 I do.
00:56:01.000 I absolutely do.
00:56:02.000 Technology has gotten better.
00:56:03.000 Kids have become more safe online.
00:56:05.000 They're more protected.
00:56:05.000 Yeah, there's some bad that comes with it.
00:56:06.000 I think people are disconnected with social media.
00:56:08.000 But I think you're going to see the next generation, they've grown up with social media that they go, ah, it's kind of old hat.
00:56:13.000 And their thing will probably be to get in drum circles.
00:56:16.000 Everything old is new again.
00:56:18.000 One thing I will say, we're getting letters already.
00:56:19.000 We're getting tweets about the cultural appropriation.
00:56:21.000 Yes, we did it.
00:56:22.000 And yes, I don't expect to have a show at a mainstream network anytime soon.
00:56:24.000 I'm okay with it.
00:56:26.000 I'm fine with it, alright?
00:56:29.000 But one thing is, by the way, we also have Michael Voris coming on the show to convert me to Catholicism.
00:56:34.000 That actually made the rounds.
00:56:35.000 I said if anyone, you know, wants to come on, we can discuss Catholic theology because I had a few people who said if you were a truth seeker, you'll become a Catholic.
00:56:43.000 We're going to do a full show.
00:56:45.000 Convert, crowd, or weak.
00:56:46.000 And I do mean that genuinely.
00:56:47.000 I think we have way more in common than we do differences.
00:56:49.000 But this would be a good way to discuss theological and philosophical differences.
00:56:53.000 By popular demand, it's happening.
00:56:54.000 By popular demand.
00:56:55.000 Michael Vorce.
00:56:56.000 And also something, hopefully, atheists can leave something from.
00:56:59.000 It should be interesting to learn the differences in certain, I guess you would say, verticals of Christianity.
00:57:04.000 But I will say this.
00:57:06.000 When this happened, and people were talking about converting Crowder to Catholicism, that was why, if you thought there was no kind of segue in my brain, I remember in the comments section, some people were saying, you know, I really, or with Jordan Peterson, or you'll probably get it with Dennis Prager.
00:57:17.000 You know, I really wish Crowder just stopped joking.
00:57:20.000 I really wish they stopped joking over there.
00:57:22.000 Him and Jared are smart.
00:57:23.000 I just, it's just, it's just too much.
00:57:25.000 I just wish they were more serious.
00:57:26.000 They could do a lot of good if they were more serious.
00:57:29.000 First off, that's not going to happen.
00:57:31.000 Now, if you watch the hour-plus interview with Jordan Peterson, it is pretty serious.
00:57:35.000 And actually, if you compare it to other interviews with any famous YouTubers, ours got into much deeper theological discussion.
00:57:41.000 He even said as much.
00:57:43.000 I mean, they were more challenging questions.
00:57:45.000 People here are actually pretty educated.
00:57:47.000 I wouldn't say black belt IQs, but certainly above the room average.
00:57:52.000 Same with Dennis Prager.
00:57:53.000 Yeah, we're going to try and keep it funny.
00:57:54.000 This is an entertainment program, but this is something that I think is important on the right.
00:57:59.000 You cannot, and this happened with this Catholic post where people were saying, I wish you were more serious.
00:58:04.000 You could do better if you were more serious.
00:58:05.000 You cannot bitch.
00:58:07.000 You cannot complain about the fall of Western civilization culture and say, you know, the youth, they've been corrupted through decadent or through entertainment and through film and through music.
00:58:18.000 That's all these kids care about.
00:58:20.000 Look, they don't know what it's like anymore.
00:58:22.000 They don't know what a hard day's work is like.
00:58:23.000 They don't know what the real world is.
00:58:24.000 Everything with them is entertainment.
00:58:26.000 We've lost them because of a corrupt culture.
00:58:28.000 You cannot give the culture that much power and then strip conservatives or the right wing of using it.
00:58:34.000 You can't do that and then say, you know what, you'd be a lot more effective if you sermonized.
00:58:39.000 That's one thing.
00:58:40.000 And you know what it is?
00:58:41.000 You don't believe it.
00:58:42.000 People out there, because a lot of followers say this too, where they say, you know, I watch this or my pastor and we love your show, but then some people in the church complain and say, why are you watching this?
00:58:51.000 And, you know, what do you say to him?
00:58:52.000 Do you think it might be more effective?
00:58:54.000 Listen, I think there are some people out there who are more effective being serious.
00:58:56.000 And I also think that some people, there's a particular person who emailed me this week asking if he thought that maybe he should abandon his approach, that he was kind of the funny guy and wasn't taken seriously, but was pretty smart and he felt bad about it.
00:59:09.000 No, I don't think you need to.
00:59:11.000 I think humor and entertainment is an incredibly valuable tool.
00:59:14.000 And the right has empowered it by making it out to be the big bad boogeyman.
00:59:18.000 But then, when the right is able to be just as powerful, they condemn it and they condemn you.
00:59:23.000 So if that's who you are, and that's who we are on the show, you should be authentic to that.
00:59:27.000 That's the one thing where conservatives have lost so much ground, is they've expected, if you go to a college Republicans meeting, certainly 10 years ago, I don't know what it's like now, it looked like a Tucker Carlson Jr.
00:59:37.000 lookalike convention.
00:59:38.000 I'm talking pre-non-bowtie Tucker Carlson.
00:59:41.000 You know, the gimmick with the bowtie and the plaid jackets, kind of Don Cherry, that Tucker Carlson era.
00:59:45.000 No one looked different, no one acted differently.
00:59:48.000 And that's a bad thing.
00:59:49.000 And I think the reason you're seeing this upswing and you're seeing on YouTube this conservative fighting back, this battlefront where we're actually winning is because think about it.
01:00:00.000 Dave Rubin, Dave Cullen, think of whoever else.
01:00:04.000 You know, Milo obviously is somebody.
01:00:06.000 You have someone like a Tommy Loren.
01:00:07.000 You have someone like an Owen Benjamin.
01:00:09.000 There are so many different people and so many different voices.
01:00:12.000 I don't think it's a coincidence that only since that has happened, some black guy was one of them.
01:00:18.000 That only since that has occurred that you've seen conservatism and the ability to communicate its ideas to a new generation bloom.
01:00:26.000 So, to the person who emailed me, no, I don't think that if you're known as the funny guy, and people don't take you seriously, I don't think you need to change your approach.
01:00:34.000 Just like we're not going to change our approach.
01:00:36.000 The reason that we've taken this approach, how many times have you heard?
01:00:39.000 Think about it.
01:00:40.000 The Lies and the Reconcerted Answer, The Daily Show.
01:00:42.000 All late night show.
01:00:43.000 It's all left wing, everything.
01:00:44.000 It's just Samantha Bee, The Daily Show, Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Kimmel.
01:00:47.000 You hear them bitch about it all the time.
01:00:49.000 Well, guess what?
01:00:50.000 You have it now.
01:00:52.000 Here we are.
01:00:52.000 This is it.
01:00:54.000 If you have a problem with it, you're just somebody who likes to bitch professionally.
01:00:58.000 And that's fine to do in the comment section on this show, really, because we don't expect everyone to like this.
01:01:02.000 I'm surprised as many people watch this show as they do.
01:01:06.000 But don't do it in your churches.
01:01:08.000 Don't do it in your social groups.
01:01:10.000 Don't do it in your schools.
01:01:12.000 Don't do it in your college Republicans group, where if someone there is a little different, and someone likes to have a laugh, and someone likes to bring some levity to a situation...
01:01:21.000 Don't condemn them.
01:01:22.000 Don't tell them I need to be more serious because that's creating this.
01:01:26.000 That's piety and it's false.
01:01:27.000 That doesn't help anybody.
01:01:29.000 So think of someone maybe this week going forward in your life.
01:01:32.000 Maybe you've done that.
01:01:33.000 Or maybe you've felt people who've done that to you.
01:01:36.000 Tell them, no, listen, you know what?
01:01:37.000 I'm not going to do it your way.
01:01:39.000 Don't do it somebody else's way because they say so.
01:01:42.000 And if you are telling other people to do it your way, we're not talking about principle or the message, but if you find yourself ever telling someone they need to change their packaging...
01:01:52.000 And I'm sure I'm guilty of this at some point.
01:01:53.000 There have probably been people, you know, everyone pushes buttons.
01:01:55.000 I'm certain someone who's pushed mine.
01:01:57.000 But if you find yourself doing that, or if you find yourself in a situation where someone is doing it to you, stop it or stop them.
01:02:04.000 And tell them, okay, I don't have to do things your way.
01:02:07.000 You know why?
01:02:08.000 Because America, not India.
01:02:10.000 By the way, more cultural appropriation next month, tomorrow is Morning Grindr for Mug Club members, and we'll see you Monday for Mug Club members.
01:02:17.000 If not, you're cheap.
