Louder with Crowder - #189 EVERYONE'S WRONG ON HEALTHCARE! Mark Levin | Louder With Crowder

00:00:00.000 The Front in Breiter Formation It's the point to speak, the Front in Breiter Formation.

00:00:10.000 The enemy took Zossen to Starnsdorf.

00:00:13.000 The enemy is now on the north, between Frohnau and Pankow.

00:00:18.000 The enemy is coming to Lichtenberg-Marsdorf-Karlshorst.

00:00:23.000 With the attack of Steiners, everything will be fine. 1.00

00:00:30.000 My commander...

00:00:31.000 ...Steiner...

00:00:37.000 Steiner konnte nicht genügend Kräfte für einen Angriff massieren.

00:00:40.000 The Angriff Steiner is not successful.

00:00:42.000 It remains in the room Keitel, Jodel, Krebs and Bogdorf.

00:01:05.000 The Angriff Steiner is not successful.

00:01:19.000 That was a buffet!

00:01:21.000 The Angriffe Stein, that was a buffet!

00:01:24.000 Who sent you?

00:01:25.000 That's your spade.

00:01:27.000 You're my fate.

00:01:28.000 You're my fate.

00:01:29.000 So weit is this.

00:01:35.000 That's it!

00:01:37.000 That's it! 0.98

00:01:40.000 The whole Generality is nothing more than a giant, a ruthless, ruthless, violent!

00:01:46.000 My Führer, I can't let the soldiers for you...

00:01:49.000 I'm sorry!

00:01:52.000 My Führer, what you're saying is unbearable!

00:01:54.000 The Generality is the greatest German army!

00:01:58.000 It's no honor!

00:02:01.000 You call me General, because you've been given years to the military academy, only to learn how to hold a hammer and a hammer!

00:02:10.000 It's been a long time for the military action.

00:02:14.000 It's been a long time for me.

00:02:17.000 It's been a long time for me.

00:02:18.000 I've done it!

00:02:23.000 I've done it!

00:02:26.000 I want Stalin!

00:02:27.000 I was from the academy.

00:02:34.000 And yet I have been on me.

00:02:39.000 I have been destroyed all over Europe.

00:02:42.000 Verrater.

00:02:49.000 From all of the beginning, I've been beaten and beaten!

00:02:54.000 There was a great revenge for the German people! 1.00

00:02:59.000 But all of these Verräter will pay!

00:03:02.000 With their own blood, they will pay!

00:03:06.000 They will save their own blood!

00:03:10.000 Please, please.

00:03:12.000 Now calm down.

00:03:14.000 My orders have been spoken in wind.

00:03:25.000 It's impossible to go under these circumstances.

00:03:31.000 It's out.

00:03:36.000 The war is lost.

00:03:39.000 But if you believe that I leave Berlin, please beware. 0.98

00:03:52.000 I'll throw a little bit in the head. 0.65

00:03:54.000 Don't do anything you want. 0.89

00:04:03.000 Don't do anything you want.

00:04:31.000 Don't do anything you want.

00:04:45.000 It's June, which marks Lauder with Crowder's second annual Cultural Appropriation Month, where each week we appreciate and teach you about new and exciting cultures.

00:04:56.000 This week, we take you to the lovely, cold, if sadistic, culture of Germany! 1.00

00:05:04.000 Oh, du schöner Westerwald Über deine Höhen pfeift der Wind so kalt Jedoch der kleinste Sonnenschein Bringt tief ins Herz hinein That's the sound of the weekend, or the downfall of...

00:05:26.000 Human civilization, depending which decade.

00:05:29.000 Of course, Germany. 0.90

00:05:30.000 Germany!

00:05:31.000 We're glad people are trying to guess, by the way.

00:05:32.000 They will never guess the final week, next week of cultural appropriation.

00:05:35.000 So send in your costumes.

00:05:36.000 Best costume.

00:05:38.000 We'll tweet who's along with Germany, and you'll win this pipe. 0.99

00:05:44.000 We have Mark Levin today, and we have Sven Computer, our very own intern, who is a cybernetic organism, will be on later to give us some fun facts about Germany.

00:05:53.000 We are blessed.

00:05:54.000 Because to learn about cultures, to appropriate cultures, is to appreciate cultures.

00:05:57.000 Producing with me in video studio, as always, is Jared, who is not gay. 0.98

00:06:00.000 Follow him on Twitter at NotGayJarid.

00:06:02.000 Me, at S. Crowder, with your thoughts, your comments, your questions.

00:06:04.000 I fulfill my legal obligations.

00:06:05.000 Draw your own conclusions.

00:06:06.000 Are we good? 1.00

00:06:07.000 That's NotGayGretchen, you bitch. 1.00

00:06:09.000 We, whoa, whoa, right off the bat. 1.00

00:06:11.000 And Sound Guy Edward has shut off that shark hunting light for crying out loud.

00:06:14.000 At G. Morgan Jr.

00:06:15.000 over here on the Twitter.

00:06:16.000 How are you?

00:06:16.000 I'd just like a male-sized costume next time.

00:06:19.000 That hat?

00:06:20.000 Well, it's the white legs.

00:06:22.000 You don't like the hat?

00:06:22.000 It's the white legs, yeah.

00:06:24.000 What, is that supposed to be German?

00:06:25.000 No, it's not.

00:06:25.000 I'm just, you know, making it up as I go.

00:06:27.000 I know one accent.

00:06:28.000 Everything devolves to one. 0.95

00:06:30.000 It's the hat for a midget stripper. 1.00

00:06:31.000 I don't, it's like, it's a five foot two midget stripper hat, apparently. 0.98

00:06:35.000 Do we have Alice Cooper's Poison?

00:06:36.000 Just start playing it and let him get to work.

00:06:38.000 Just, This is what happened.

00:06:40.000 So, we have Mark Levin, we have my lawyer, Bill Richmond.

00:06:43.000 We were in New York directly meeting with YouTube, and I mean the heads of YouTube.

00:06:48.000 We're talking about legal, controversial content.

00:06:50.000 I have better news.

00:06:51.000 We're out of New York.

00:06:53.000 We're out of New York.

00:06:54.000 I know.

00:06:55.000 We have a lot of fans in New York, and God bless you.

00:06:58.000 This is the only ray of sunshine.

00:06:59.000 People love New York until they actually leave New York.

00:07:02.000 That's the thing.

00:07:03.000 It's true.

00:07:03.000 And the people who love New York, who don't live in New York, are hipsters who just want to scrape by and take pride in it.

00:07:08.000 So Mark Levin and I, lawyer Bill Richman, we'll talk about it.

00:07:10.000 We have some exclusive audio from our meeting.

00:07:12.000 We'll tell you what our outlook is.

00:07:14.000 And then, of course, Sven Computer, we'll be talking about the health care bill.

00:07:17.000 Today.

00:07:18.000 Talk about it with Mark Levine, and we'll also give you an entire rebuttal as to why Vox is wrong.

00:07:23.000 But news of the day.

00:07:23.000 News of the day.

00:07:24.000 First off, Vox is wrong?

00:07:25.000 Qatar Airways, did you know this?

00:07:27.000 Yes.

00:07:27.000 They're interested in a 10% stake in American Airlines.

00:07:31.000 Of course they are.

00:07:31.000 Apparently they made an offer.

00:07:32.000 This is, it's been trending all over today.

00:07:35.000 Yeah.

00:07:35.000 And it does come, we don't know if it'll happen, it comes with some caveats for American Airlines.

00:07:40.000 Which honestly, I thought they would be unreasonable.

00:07:43.000 Pretty understandable.

00:07:44.000 So if we're on international flights to the Middle East, they want halal meals.

00:07:46.000 That's not too out of the question.

00:07:48.000 That's kind of a given.

00:07:49.000 They want what they call modesty chairs for the women. 1.00

00:07:52.000 Again, traveling internationally.

00:07:54.000 I don't agree, but I can see why.

00:07:56.000 I can understand why.

00:07:57.000 What's a modesty chair?

00:07:58.000 The reason that was odd, though, was they actually wanted it to be a prerequisite for everyone to turn on all their electronic devices immediately after takeoff, which seemed as though it was a back door.

00:08:09.000 That's one for you, Katar.

00:08:11.000 You got us with...

00:08:11.000 Fool us once with Clockboy.

00:08:14.000 Fool us twice with your terrorism. 0.90

00:08:17.000 That's still shame on you. 0.95

00:08:18.000 It's always shame on you.

00:08:19.000 It's really not shame on us.

00:08:20.000 You always lose.

00:08:21.000 It's still Qatar. 1.00

00:08:22.000 You guys suck. 1.00

00:08:23.000 Donald Trump? 1.00

00:08:24.000 He said this is all over today.

00:08:25.000 He wants to put solar panels on the wall.

00:08:28.000 On the border wall.

00:08:29.000 That's creative.

00:08:30.000 That'll pay for it.

00:08:30.000 Yes.

00:08:31.000 Which he says will help it pay for itself.

00:08:32.000 Of course, this has the left conflicted.

00:08:34.000 Yeah, they do.

00:08:35.000 Over their hatred of the border wall, but their love of alternative green energy, which has put them in quite the self-loathing pickle, Which explains the latest video from BuzzFeed. 0.88

00:08:46.000 Lady like fat chicks, try seppuku. 1.00

00:08:49.000 By the way, it was really hard for us to find out how to spell seppuku. 0.87

00:08:52.000 I think it's seppuku.

00:08:53.000 Is it seppuku?

00:08:54.000 Seppuku!

00:08:56.000 I don't even know.

00:08:57.000 Where were you on Japanese Cultural Appropriation Week?

00:09:00.000 Today you're doing Irish Watch.

00:09:01.000 Two weeks from now, he'll have a perfect German accent.

00:09:03.000 I'm like three weeks behind usually.

00:09:05.000 Good lord.

00:09:06.000 Worthless.

00:09:07.000 NASA wants to probe Uranus in search of gas.

00:09:13.000 There's nothing to add there.

00:09:14.000 That was an actual headline from Yahoo News.

00:09:16.000 That's it.

00:09:18.000 Buzzfeed.

00:09:19.000 They just had bed bug infestation. 0.96

00:09:22.000 And I don't want to take pleasure in someone's misfortune.

00:09:26.000 Can we?

00:09:27.000 Listen, this isn't the first time for BuzzFeed.

00:09:29.000 I mean, they've been plagued with these kind of challenges for a while.

00:09:31.000 There was the electrical fire last year.

00:09:33.000 It was a really big deal.

00:09:34.000 And of course, being in New York, they had the rat problem to deal with a few months ago.

00:09:38.000 And then, of course, there was the anonymous mist that killed all their firstborn sons.

00:09:42.000 That one seemed really, I mean, almost as though they should take it as a warning sign.

00:09:49.000 Six more to follow.

00:09:51.000 Six.

00:09:51.000 All right, before we get to the Trump health care bill, I can guess that's what we're having Mark Levin on.

00:09:56.000 When it comes to politics, the guy knows it.

00:09:58.000 So Dennis Frager was on, the cultural lens, the political lens, the constitutional lens.

00:10:02.000 Mark Levin knows it.

00:10:04.000 Gene Morgan Jr., what are your thoughts here on the health care bill that was officially introduced today?

00:10:08.000 Yeah, it doesn't seem to address a lot of the concerns that we have.

00:10:10.000 It seems like a half measure, and Ted Cruz kind of said as much.

00:10:13.000 It doesn't lower premiums enough, but it tries.

00:10:16.000 Right.

00:10:16.000 So I think they're trying to get there, but...

00:10:19.000 Can't you get this right before you introduce it?

00:10:21.000 Well, that's not Ted Cruz's problem.

00:10:22.000 It doesn't lower premiums enough.

00:10:24.000 That's his quote.

00:10:25.000 No, that's not the only thing.

00:10:26.000 He has the path to yes.

00:10:27.000 It's about freedom.

00:10:28.000 It's about actually repealing Obamacare.

00:10:31.000 That's the issue.

00:10:32.000 It still keeps a lot of Obamacare alive.

00:10:34.000 Right.

00:10:34.000 So, I get it.

00:10:35.000 Yeah, you know the lying Ted is going to come out soon.

00:10:39.000 I'm waiting for the tax of Ted Cruz.

00:10:40.000 He's lying Ted again.

00:10:42.000 Right.

00:10:42.000 Which is what, you know...

00:10:43.000 Our problem is, you kind of said you're going to repeal it.

00:10:46.000 Yeah, I know.

00:10:47.000 Repeal the place!

00:10:48.000 With the same thing.

00:10:50.000 I do.

00:10:51.000 I think it's a pipe dream, though.

00:10:52.000 Thank you.

00:10:53.000 There's an annulment right away.

00:10:54.000 Yeah, repeal and replace.

00:10:55.000 You think it's a pipe dream?

00:10:56.000 I think it is.

00:10:56.000 I think it's such a big change, you can't just repeal it.

00:11:00.000 Vox has this to say.

00:11:02.000 Their actual title was...

00:11:05.000 The bill might as well be called to poor people pay more for worse insurance.

00:11:10.000 That's what they said it is in one sentence.

00:11:12.000 I'm cool with it.

00:11:14.000 No, here's what it actually is.

00:11:15.000 People who've been subsidized by hard-working, tax-paying Americans who've seen their costs skyrocket might finally be asked to bear just a little bit of the burden.

00:11:25.000 That's the truth.

00:11:27.000 That's the truth.

00:11:28.000 You can just say, well, look, poor people are going to be expected to pay more.

00:11:31.000 No, what you're saying is people who have effectively been paying nothing...

00:11:36.000 Won't necessarily get a free ride.

00:11:38.000 And that's not even necessarily the case, because if you're in the Obamacare bracket, it depends where you are.

00:11:41.000 It can be awful.

00:11:42.000 There are private health sharing programs out there, one of whom may become a sponsor, so we're not going to recommend them yet.

00:11:48.000 But God forbid anyone has skin in the game.

00:11:51.000 God forbid you have to pay your fair share.

00:11:53.000 I seem to remember that line.

00:11:55.000 God forbid you have to pay a share.

00:11:58.000 I can't spare a share.

00:11:59.000 So here's the truth.

00:12:01.000 Premiums, okay, have increased an average of 25% every year.

00:12:04.000 45% this last year.

00:12:06.000 Okay?

00:12:07.000 45% in a year.

00:12:09.000 Deductibles are average right now at $6,000 per person, $12,400 per family.

00:12:14.000 We don't talk about the millions who've been kicked off of Obamacare.

00:12:16.000 We'll talk about that later on, because this whole headline is, poor people are going to have to pay for health care, and look at all the people who want to steal your health care.

00:12:25.000 Here's the divide, too, as we talk about this. 0.85

00:12:27.000 People out there who work for a living and pay for their own insurance know that it sucks.

00:12:32.000 Unfortunately, there's a huge portion, nearly half of population in America who could be working, who could be providing for themselves, want the government to do it. 0.98

00:12:40.000 So they're watching this thinking, I'm a dick. 0.99

00:12:42.000 The people who are watching this who actually work and support their families think that they're dicks. 1.00

00:12:48.000 There's the great divide. 1.00

00:12:50.000 Filled with dicks. 1.00

00:12:52.000 Okay, so they write this at Vox. 1.00

00:12:54.000 Tough to walk on.

00:12:54.000 The Affordable Care Act's promise was that with the help from subsidies, you wouldn't have to spend more than a set percentage of your income on health insurance.

00:13:02.000 And then they say if premiums rise in your area, so too will subsidies.

00:13:06.000 As though that's a bad thing.

00:13:09.000 So too will subsidies.

00:13:11.000 Here's the deal.

00:13:12.000 Everything is more expensive because of subsidies.

00:13:16.000 Now, this doesn't necessarily remove the subsidies.

00:13:18.000 This is the thing, too.

00:13:18.000 The stuff that we don't like about this bill is all of the compassionate health care views that liberals have been pushing.

00:13:24.000 That pretty much stays.

00:13:25.000 You look at the mandates, you look at the affordable care, the program, it's still there because we have cowards who claim to be Republicans who aren't really doing the right thing. 1.00

00:13:34.000 But then Vox is also wrong and Ezra Klein is just a pandering moron. 1.00

00:13:38.000 I wouldn't say he's a moron. 0.99

00:13:40.000 He's actually a smart guy. 1.00

00:13:41.000 I just think the guy is so misguided.

00:13:42.000 So we know what happens with subsidies.

00:13:44.000 We've talked about it this week.

00:13:45.000 Subsidies skyrocket energy costs.

00:13:48.000 We talk about green energy.

00:13:49.000 It can be two, three, four, eight, ten times the cost for this energy if it's subsidized than standard energy.

00:13:55.000 Of course, student loans.

00:13:56.000 People pander on this all the time.

00:13:58.000 Bernie Sanders with student loans.

00:14:00.000 Student tuition prices are unbelievably expensive because of subsidies.

00:14:06.000 Let me explain to you how this works.

00:14:07.000 I've said it I don't know how many times, but I guess today we have to go back through remedial subsidies.

00:14:13.000 Subsidies 101. 1.00

00:14:15.000 You're an idiot, 101. 1.00

00:14:16.000 You should be paying your own way, 101. 1.00

00:14:18.000 I don't know why I still have to tell you this, 101.

00:14:21.000 Please, dear God, leave the country, 101. 1.00

00:14:23.000 You threatened to move to Canada, please do, 101.

00:14:27.000 Let's say we set a price for college.

00:14:30.000 Okay, so this is their quote.

00:14:32.000 You would never have to spend more than a set percentage of your income on health insurance.

00:14:36.000 Okay, so let's do that with a subsidy. 1.00

00:14:37.000 I make $10,000.

00:14:39.000 Okay, the government says, you never pay more than 10%.

00:14:41.000 I'm just using figurative numbers here.

00:14:42.000 You never pay more than 10%.

00:14:44.000 Of your income for health insurance.

00:14:45.000 So that's $1,000 per year.

00:14:46.000 You never pay more than $1,000 per year.

00:14:48.000 Okay, we'll pay the rest.

00:14:50.000 It's $5,000 per year though, the insurance company says.

00:14:53.000 He only has $1,000 but it's $5,000.

00:14:56.000 The government says, we'll give you the $4,000.

00:14:57.000 Did I say $5,000?

00:14:59.000 I meant $20,000.

00:15:02.000 19,000, please!

00:15:03.000 That's what happens with student loans.

00:15:05.000 Hey, how much can you afford for school?

00:15:07.000 Well, I don't know.

00:15:08.000 10,000 a semester?

00:15:09.000 Okay, and the government says, that's all you can afford.

00:15:11.000 We're going to create an unaffordable college grant.

00:15:14.000 We'll fill in the rest.

00:15:16.000 Hey, I can only afford about 10,000.

00:15:17.000 College goes, well, that's amazing!

00:15:20.000 Because here at the University of Texas...

00:15:22.000 It's 30,000.

00:15:23.000 You have 10, you would think you're, but there's a grant that's 20.

00:15:27.000 So we'll take your 10, we'll take your 20, we'll take care of you.

00:15:31.000 That's what happens with the subsidies.

00:15:33.000 It's why anywhere, when people talk about industries that they can't stand, what do they usually talk about?

00:15:38.000 Health insurance?

00:15:39.000 Yep.

00:15:40.000 Airlines?

00:15:41.000 Yes.

00:15:42.000 I'm trying to think.

00:15:42.000 What else?

00:15:43.000 Banks.

00:15:43.000 Banks?

00:15:44.000 These are not industries that are bastions of libertarianism where there hasn't been government intervention.

00:15:50.000 It's a lot like surplus.

00:15:53.000 With unions and surplus, how that money's mismanagement gets so easily out of control because there's money on the table.

00:15:59.000 You've got to take advantage of the money on the table or else it's gone.

00:16:02.000 So it's just...

00:16:03.000 Simple.

00:16:04.000 We've got to move relatively quickly because Fennig and Peter's going to win.

00:16:06.000 Okay, so they write this.

00:16:07.000 Once the Medicaid expansion is repealed, Republicans get to work on Medicaid itself.

00:16:11.000 Here is something that's important that Vox...

00:16:13.000 They wrote this here, but if you hear them talking on cable news, they say they want to cut Medicaid.

00:16:18.000 They don't.

00:16:19.000 First off, that's not necessarily a bad thing.

00:16:21.000 They don't.

00:16:21.000 What they're talking about is the expansion of Medicaid that is occurring will slow down at five years.

00:16:31.000 So like an ever-expanding universe, Donald Trump is such a heartless prick that they want to say, all right, five more years of untouched, unfettered growth where you can do whatever you want.

00:16:43.000 And then after that, we're going to have to rein it in a little bit.

00:16:45.000 They're not cutting off Medicaid.

00:16:47.000 So let's be clear with that.

00:16:49.000 They're not cutting Medicaid.

00:16:50.000 It's stopping the continuing expansion in five years. 0.99

00:16:53.000 By the way, the truth is, Medicaid sucks.

00:16:56.000 One-third of all doctors in the United States won't take Medicare or Medicaid.

00:16:59.000 Anyone here who has parents who are on Medicare, it's the same problem.

00:17:02.000 My in-laws, they can't find good doctors. 0.97

00:17:04.000 It's free, and it's a human right, but it sucks. 1.00

00:17:09.000 It sucks. 1.00

00:17:09.000 It's terrible. 1.00

00:17:10.000 It doesn't work.

00:17:10.000 It's broken.

00:17:11.000 This is the part that never comes into the equation with the left.

00:17:14.000 It's like, you bring up, well, what about the fact that it's really awful, that doctors won't take it?

00:17:17.000 What about the fact that premiums have gone up?

00:17:18.000 Well, hold on.

00:17:19.000 But it's a right, though.

00:17:20.000 Well, hold on a second.

00:17:21.000 We need to go back to the conversation of rights versus commodities 101.

00:17:24.000 Hey, hey, hold on.

00:17:25.000 Listen up.

00:17:25.000 Stop looking at Bernie.

00:17:26.000 Here's the deal. 1.00

00:17:27.000 Medicaid sucks. 0.99

00:17:28.000 It's broken. 1.00

00:17:29.000 And they're back to looking at something shiny.

00:17:32.000 It's a good way to get old people to vote for you, though. 0.99

00:17:34.000 It is a good way to get old people to vote. 0.99

00:17:35.000 They're going to leave you on the street to die.

00:17:37.000 Well, then I'll vote for you. 0.99

00:17:38.000 Old people are gullible. 1.00

00:17:40.000 Stop.

00:17:40.000 I love old people.

00:17:41.000 Don't be ageist.

00:17:42.000 That is ageist.

00:17:43.000 I don't even know what to call you today.

00:17:45.000 Okay.

00:17:45.000 So they talk about that.

00:17:46.000 Then they say once they get to work on Medicaid itself, tying the amount it can spend to an inflation index that lags behind how much health care actually costs.

00:17:54.000 They complain about this in the Vox article.

00:17:56.000 Yeah.

00:17:58.000 It does lag behind the inflation of health care.

00:18:02.000 Well, who's responsible for that?

00:18:05.000 The hyperinflation of healthcare over the last few years is because of your subsidies and the Affordable Care Act.

00:18:12.000 That's why premiums are up 42% this year.

00:18:14.000 That's why we're paying a $12,400 deductible.

00:18:18.000 Who's fault?

00:18:18.000 It will be tied to an inflation.

00:18:21.000 It's like...

00:18:22.000 If you just start printing more money tomorrow, and then you bitch about inflation going from 2% to 20%, and you blame it, you can't blame it on me!

00:18:31.000 You're the one printing the money!

00:18:33.000 Nothing can keep up with those costs.

00:18:34.000 You can't peg it to anything.

00:18:37.000 All right, this is their final claim here from Ezra Klein.

00:18:39.000 The bill he has written leads to more people who aren't covered.

00:18:42.000 The premiums, deductibles, and co-pays people actually pay for the health care will skyrocket.

00:18:46.000 More people will end up in bad insurance that has deductibles so high that it's really not worth much to them.

00:18:52.000 Okay, here's the thing.

00:18:54.000 It might be a crappy plan.

00:18:55.000 Maybe costs will go up.

00:18:57.000 Let's say he's right.

00:18:58.000 Let's say everything he just said there from his crystal ball is correct, Mr.

00:19:02.000 Klein in Vox.

00:19:05.000 We're still no worse off!

00:19:07.000 That's exactly what has happened since the Affordable Care Act.

00:19:10.000 Premiums, deductibles, co-pays.

00:19:13.000 They've all gotten worse.

00:19:14.000 Everyone who works for a living knows that.

00:19:16.000 That's why they voted your guys out.

00:19:18.000 You lost because you thought your lies worked.

00:19:21.000 And people who actually pay for health care.

00:19:23.000 Hold on a second.

00:19:24.000 Wait.

00:19:25.000 My insurance premiums went up 42% this year, and they saw you pandering to college students who are 25 years old who don't want to pay for anything, and people who don't even pay taxes getting free health care. 0.92

00:19:37.000 It sucks now!

00:19:39.000 People can't afford it now! 0.99

00:19:41.000 It doesn't matter what we try!

00:19:44.000 By the way...

00:19:45.000 That's what I thought he was describing, the current situation.

00:19:47.000 That's exactly...

00:19:48.000 I was with him for a second.

00:19:49.000 I was like, wait a minute.

00:19:50.000 Oh, he's talking about the current...

00:19:51.000 Wait, hold on a second.

00:19:52.000 He's talking about the proposed bill?

00:19:53.000 Because I'm looking at a 45% increase to deductibles.

00:19:56.000 Also, again, when no one talks about this, they always talk about, look at all these millions of Americans.

00:19:59.000 You'll have 27 million or 40-something million Americans uninsured.

00:20:03.000 25 million people.

00:20:05.000 Lost their health care plan because of the Affordable Care Act.

00:20:08.000 Now, here's the difference.

00:20:09.000 These people don't matter to the Democrats because these people were likely middle class.

00:20:14.000 They were paying for their own health care and they could no longer afford it.

00:20:17.000 Their premiums went up 25%, 42%.

00:20:19.000 Their deductible for a family of four went to $12,600 because it was no longer affordable.

00:20:23.000 So they lost their health care plan so that they could subsidize other people who never paid for it or intended to purchase a health care plan anyway.

00:20:30.000 We never talk about the tens of millions of people who got so screwed that they lost their plans.

00:20:36.000 We only care about the deadbeats who didn't buy it in the first place.

00:20:40.000 Did I miss it?

00:20:41.000 I think that about captures it.

00:20:43.000 Okay, I think that about captures it.

00:20:44.000 So, we have to actually...

00:20:46.000 So, really glad to have him on.

00:20:48.000 He's been an intern for us.

00:20:49.000 We are lucky.

00:20:49.000 Let's go to Sven Computer.

00:20:53.000 What's your name in totality?

00:20:59.000 It's almost hard to read.

00:21:00.000 It is almost hard to read.

00:21:01.000 The Germans make everything difficult. 1.00

00:21:03.000 But we've talked about this.

00:21:04.000 Fetching data.

00:21:05.000 Fetching data with our intern, hopefully soon to be hired, if we can get him stateside.

00:21:09.000 But it's actually, he's a cybernetic organism who does a lot of our research.

00:21:13.000 And because we're doing Germany, we wanted to have some information.

00:21:16.000 Lighten the audience.

00:21:17.000 Sven Computer, thank you for being here with us.

00:21:20.000 Thanks for having me.

00:21:21.000 Okay, great.

00:21:22.000 Thank you, Sven Computer.

00:21:24.000 So, let's hear it.

00:21:25.000 Give us some facts about your homeland where they've created you in Germany that maybe the audience might not know.

00:21:31.000 Yeah, so I think to start with would be that there are 81 million people living in Germany, so that's the largest population of Europe.

00:21:39.000 Oh, there you go.

00:21:40.000 Okay, Jared, did you know this?

00:21:41.000 That's interesting.

00:21:43.000 Yeah, okay.

00:21:44.000 Yeah, also there are no punishments for prisoners who try to escape prisons, because German government and the courts, they acknowledge that it's actually a human instinct to be free.

00:21:56.000 So, there you go.

00:21:57.000 Yeah, well, Sven Computer, that's interesting.

00:21:59.000 I think it's a horrible policy, but it's interesting for us to learn.

00:22:02.000 Yeah, learning is appreciating.

00:22:05.000 Okay, so, also, there was a German chemist named Fritzawa, maybe you know him.

00:22:11.000 He invented the first mass-producible fertilizer.

00:22:14.000 Oh, well, my wife is... 0.99

00:22:15.000 Yeah, he got a Nobel Prize.

00:22:16.000 My wife is a green thumb, guards a lot, so she probably uses the benefits of the whole world. 1.00

00:22:21.000 Yeah, great.

00:22:23.000 Yeah, he then went on to invent mustard gas and help kill millions of people in the World War. 0.94

00:22:28.000 Wait, wait, what?

00:22:29.000 The same guy?

00:22:30.000 That sounds horrible, Sun Computer.

00:22:32.000 Yeah, also, you can drink a different German beer, brewed under the German purity law, for 15 years every day.

00:22:38.000 There you go.

00:22:39.000 Okay, well, that's getting back on track.

00:22:42.000 That's more of fun facts.

00:22:43.000 Fun facts, yeah, fun facts.

00:22:44.000 Yeah.

00:22:46.000 So, also, hamburgers got their name from the German town, Hamburg.

00:22:49.000 That's interesting, you know, because we talked about that.

00:22:52.000 There's no ham in hamburgers.

00:22:53.000 Hamburgers, which is...

00:22:54.000 I always confuse that.

00:22:55.000 You call me out on it.

00:22:56.000 No ham.

00:22:56.000 We call them cheeseburgers.

00:22:57.000 Cheeseburgers.

00:22:58.000 But Hamburg, this location, makes sense.

00:23:00.000 Oh, thanks, computer.

00:23:01.000 Yeah.

00:23:02.000 Also, Hitler killed his dog with a container of cyanide, and then he shot the five puppies in the head.

00:23:08.000 Oh my god, that sounds horrible.

00:23:10.000 We've gotten away from fun facts again, Sven Computer.

00:23:13.000 This is the problem when there's lack of a conscience in a database.

00:23:20.000 Germany is also the world leader in hacking, if you didn't know. 0.91

00:23:24.000 It's estimated that 90% of Of worldwide cyber-attacks carried out from Germany and coordinated from here.

00:23:30.000 And, you know, these attacks can include hacking power grids, you know, blackouts, and also gas attacks, if you don't know.

00:23:38.000 That doesn't...

00:23:39.000 Svet Computer.

00:23:42.000 Svet Computer, unfortunately, has to shut down now.

00:23:45.000 So, have some fun.

00:23:47.000 Bye.

00:23:47.000 Svet Computer, we're gonna try and be back after this.

00:23:51.000 It's right, computer!

00:23:53.000 There are a lot of people in this music.

00:24:09.000 Very few.

00:24:14.000 - It's a bad way! - Look at this! - Look at this music! - It's a bad music! - It's a bad music! - It's a bad music! - Why did you come here?

00:24:27.000 I thought it will be much better.

00:24:30.000 And very bad music.

00:24:34.000 I thought it will be much better.

00:24:36.000 I've been going to go here and it will be much better.

00:24:40.000 But at this time it did not succeed.

00:24:43.000 First of all, the music is not very popular.

00:24:46.000 What's the direction?

00:24:48.000 What's the direction?

00:24:50.000 What direction?

00:24:56.000 Thank you.

00:25:26.000 I was just aching for an excuse to launch that and I just thought the Street Fighter theme song, perfect.

00:25:33.000 It's my sonic boom.

00:25:35.000 Only, it's a hat from a country that is an absolute shell of its former self.

00:25:40.000 Can't fight back at all against anything.

00:25:42.000 Can't fight back at all against internal threats.

00:25:44.000 So, speaking of which, this man knows our country.

00:25:47.000 And let me say this first before I get in here.

00:25:48.000 He's going to do the whole, like, ah, gee shucks, you guys are great.

00:25:50.000 No, no, listen, we're okay.

00:25:52.000 On our best day, we're okay.

00:25:55.000 He's one of the top radio hosts in the country, and I will say this.

00:25:57.000 Not only that, but whenever we ask him to show up and he gives us a time, he always does, which you know, not good, Jared, is very rare.

00:26:05.000 And it's always the local guys, the small guys who just make our jobs difficult.

00:26:09.000 He has a new book, Rediscovering Americanism.

00:26:12.000 You can see it right there behind him.

00:26:13.000 He has a show every day at CRTV.com.

00:26:15.000 The great one, Mr.

00:26:16.000 Mark Levin.

00:26:16.000 Thank you for being with us, sir.

00:26:18.000 Steve, I appreciate it.

00:26:19.000 You're terrific.

00:26:20.000 And by the way, your dad's a great guy, too.

00:26:22.000 So we appreciate that.

00:26:23.000 See, yesterday Gavin was getting all up in my grill saying, why do you talk so much about your dad?

00:26:27.000 Well, now we know.

00:26:28.000 What do you get with your dad?

00:26:29.000 Yeah, what is that thing?

00:26:30.000 I don't know.

00:26:31.000 I have a good relationship with my dad.

00:26:33.000 Mr.

00:26:33.000 Levin, okay.

00:26:34.000 I know you have a lot to say about this.

00:26:36.000 I follow you on political issues a lot.

00:26:38.000 I'll say this.

00:26:38.000 I'm not really a political guy.

00:26:40.000 I'm more of a cultural guy.

00:26:41.000 When it comes to constitutionalism and the law, specifically Supreme Court cases, I am just, my search history is Mark Levin, Mark Levin.

00:26:49.000 So let's talk about the health care bill here from Republicans today.

00:26:53.000 Seems like neither side is really informing people on getting it right.

00:26:57.000 Vox said it was horrible, but not for the same reasons that actual conservatives might not be thrilled.

00:27:03.000 Please, bestow upon us your genius.

00:27:05.000 Well, here's the thing.

00:27:06.000 First of all, we have to stop looking at this as a Republican, Democrat, Liberal, Conservative thing.

00:27:11.000 The bottom line is this.

00:27:13.000 This bill is 97.9% Obamacare.

00:27:17.000 That's what it is.

00:27:18.000 Now, they adjust some things and they talk about things that are going to happen five years from now and eight years from now.

00:27:24.000 Now, you know that's not going to happen.

00:27:25.000 The massive expansion of Medicaid.

00:27:28.000 Medicaid is a massive entitlement program.

00:27:31.000 25% of every state budget is used to pay Medicaid.

00:27:36.000 And then the federal government matches it.

00:27:38.000 So this is how they get more people on health care.

00:27:41.000 They push them into a welfare program.

00:27:43.000 So what they've done is they redefine poverty.

00:27:46.000 So 138% of the poverty rate is now poverty.

00:27:52.000 People who are 350% above the poverty rate are now going to get what they call tax credits.

00:27:57.000 You know what a tax credit is?

00:27:58.000 It's a screwdriver.

00:27:59.000 It's a subsidy.

00:28:01.000 So they're going to subsidize that.

00:28:02.000 Who else are they subsidizing? 1.00

00:28:04.000 The insurance companies, because they're going broke under Obamacare, because it doesn't make sense.

00:28:08.000 It's not an insurance program.

00:28:10.000 So, people are going to be subsidized.

00:28:12.000 Insurance companies are going to be subsidized.

00:28:14.000 We're subsidizing it.

00:28:16.000 Our premiums will stay high.

00:28:17.000 Our deductibles will stay high.

00:28:19.000 And they have not introduced free market competition.

00:28:22.000 Here's my view.

00:28:24.000 An insurance company should be able to offer whatever plan they want to, and we should be able to buy whatever plan we want to.

00:28:30.000 I don't need politicians and bureaucrats in between me and my decisions.

00:28:35.000 The left believes in choice when it comes to abortion.

00:28:38.000 They call that a choice.

00:28:39.000 But when it comes to picking a health care plan, why can't I have a choice?

00:28:43.000 When you go into a car dealership, do they say, okay, here's the three government-approved cars that you can pick?

00:28:49.000 No, I want this car, I want that car, I want this, I don't want that.

00:28:53.000 Okay, when buying a toaster, a car, a refrigerator, we have all these choices.

00:28:57.000 When buying healthcare, the federal government says, We have to approve what you can have, and insurance companies, you can't provide this, you can't charge this, you can't offer this.

00:29:08.000 It's ridiculous.

00:29:09.000 Well, here's one thing I think is important that you kind of skimmed over, and this is because I think you live in a world where a lot of people, they have a baseline level of information. 0.61

00:29:17.000 Most Americans don't, because the way liberals are selling this, and the way Vox did, they said they're repealing the Medicare bill.

00:29:23.000 Expansion, which you just said the opposite.

00:29:25.000 Now, what's important is what they're going to do, sorry, the liberals have been saying, the left has been saying, they're repealing Medicare.

00:29:31.000 They're going to dismantle Medicare. 0.97

00:29:33.000 No, no, no.

00:29:33.000 They're going to stop some of the expansion starting in, I think, 2024, right?

00:29:38.000 Isn't that the wordplay that's going on here?

00:29:40.000 Well, first of all, Medicaid.

00:29:41.000 Oh, Medicaid, sorry, yes.

00:29:42.000 And that said, what is Medicaid?

00:29:45.000 Medicaid is a welfare program.

00:29:47.000 It was started in 1966 to take care of people who really have no means of caring for themselves.

00:29:52.000 Right.

00:29:53.000 It's not intended to be an insurance program for tens of millions of able-bodied Americans, and yet that's what's happening.

00:29:59.000 You know, when they say this bill cuts Medicaid, first of all, Medicaid ought to be cut.

00:30:04.000 So let's start from that perspective.

00:30:06.000 Yes, exactly.

00:30:07.000 Number two. 0.98

00:30:09.000 They're not going to cut a damn thing. 0.97

00:30:10.000 They don't even start cutting for eight years. 0.51

00:30:13.000 Now does anybody really, or it's five years, does anybody really believe five years out, even if the Republicans control the Congress, that anybody's going to cut anything?

00:30:21.000 I'll tell you why they won't.

00:30:23.000 They can cut it today and they haven't done it.

00:30:26.000 They could repeal Obamacare today and they haven't done it.

00:30:29.000 Why do we think when more and more people are going to be sucked into this disastrous entitlement, then suddenly they'll have the political wherewithal to do something about it?

00:30:39.000 They're not.

00:30:39.000 What's following the student loan crisis, to use their term, right?

00:30:42.000 It's the exact same thing.

00:30:44.000 Yeah, student loans are too expensive.

00:30:45.000 More subsidies, more grants.

00:30:47.000 And so then colleges, we've talked about this on the show a lot because of a lot of college kids who watch.

00:30:50.000 They say, why is school so expensive?

00:30:52.000 Listen, if you say I can only afford $10,000, then the government says, we're going to make up for that.

00:30:56.000 We're going to pay the rest.

00:30:58.000 The school says, did I say $10,000 tuition?

00:31:00.000 I meant $30,000.

00:31:01.000 More subsidies, please.

00:31:02.000 Government support inflation.

00:31:03.000 And there we are.

00:31:04.000 And that's what's happened.

00:31:05.000 By the way, the percentage of doctors who flat out won't take Medicaid has also skyrocketed.

00:31:10.000 And even with Medicare, my in-laws have had problems with doctors who will accept Medicare.

00:31:14.000 You know, the Vox headline was, "This healthcare bill will crush poor people, making them pay more." What it really should read is, no, the people who've been paying absolutely nothing, the people who've been subsidized by the hardworking American taxpayer, in an ideal world, not with this bill, at some point, might be asked to bear some of the burden.

00:31:33.000 My premiums have gone up.

00:31:34.000 I know their premiums have gone up.

00:31:36.000 I'm sure yours have.

00:31:37.000 Deductibles, premiums up, they're doubling.

00:31:39.000 Well, let me ask you a question.

00:31:40.000 Why would we develop an entire national healthcare system that is focused almost exclusively on the poor?

00:31:47.000 Is that how we do things in this country?

00:31:49.000 We manufacture cars for the poor?

00:31:52.000 We build buildings for the poor.

00:31:55.000 Well, we do.

00:31:56.000 They're called projects, and they're usually not referred to in the positive sense. 0.88

00:31:59.000 When someone says, I'm from the projects, usually means I'm from a crap hole.

00:32:03.000 But I mean, assisting the poor is one thing. 0.94

00:32:05.000 But you don't destroy an entire healthcare system.

00:32:12.000 In order to, quote unquote, help the poor.

00:32:15.000 Because what happens?

00:32:15.000 You get Venezuela, we all become poor.

00:32:17.000 That's what happens.

00:32:18.000 So, we need to start talking smarter.

00:32:21.000 What we need is more competition, more choices, cheaper policies.

00:32:25.000 If I just want a policy that covers certain things, like some horrific disease or illness you might get, then I should be able to purchase that.

00:32:33.000 On the other hand, if I don't want that kind of coverage, I want a different kind of coverage, great.

00:32:37.000 If I'm a single guy, I don't want to pay for pap smear tests.

00:32:40.000 All these things should be available.

00:32:42.000 There's no reason why insurance companies can't offer a hundred different types of plans, and we, the American people, can make the decision. 0.98

00:32:51.000 I'm tired of this idea that we're too stupid to decide stuff. 0.96

00:32:55.000 And yet, when you look at the Internal Revenue Code, how the hell are we supposed to do our taxes? 0.99

00:32:59.000 We're smart enough to vote for people, but we're not smart enough to make decisions about our own healthcare?

00:33:04.000 This is a liberty issue.

00:33:06.000 This is a choice issue.

00:33:07.000 It is a family issue.

00:33:08.000 And the bottom line is this.

00:33:10.000 The Republicans do really nothing effective about it except one thing.

00:33:14.000 They eliminate some of the taxes.

00:33:16.000 Now, I'm for eliminating some taxes, but they don't eliminate the expenses.

00:33:20.000 So who's going to pay for that?

00:33:22.000 You, your generation, and the generations to come.

00:33:25.000 We have over $200 trillion in unfunded liabilities.

00:33:28.000 This is going to add to it.

00:33:30.000 Yeah, well, you're right, too.

00:33:31.000 I mean, I can't get my thyroid medication covered, but I have diaphragms, free diaphragms out there.

00:33:35.000 I'm using them as tinker toys right now in my office.

00:33:37.000 How's that working out?

00:33:38.000 They're fantastic.

00:33:39.000 In absence of Legos or Kinex, diaphragms work.

00:33:43.000 Well, you know, it's interesting that you say that.

00:33:45.000 You talk about it being a liberty issue.

00:33:46.000 You talk about also how they want to cut taxes but not cut some of the expenses.

00:33:51.000 It's not hard.

00:33:51.000 Listen.

00:33:52.000 We have a spending problem.

00:33:54.000 And you've been remarkably consistent on President Trump, by the way.

00:33:57.000 You obviously weren't huge on him in the primaries.

00:33:59.000 You support him where he's right.

00:34:00.000 You criticize him where fair.

00:34:01.000 I think we try to do that as well.

00:34:04.000 I don't understand why we're not talking about...

00:34:07.000 During the election cycles, they're always talking about tort reform and opening up insurance across state lines.

00:34:12.000 Now, I know that's in a different phase, obviously.

00:34:14.000 Right now, we're talking about the bill.

00:34:15.000 I know it comes a little bit later on.

00:34:17.000 I haven't heard people talking about that for a couple of months.

00:34:20.000 Deafening silence.

00:34:21.000 Why is it so different from the campaign rhetoric?

00:34:24.000 It's just, it's constant fumble from Republicans.

00:34:27.000 And I hate to be that guy going, two parties, man, it's all corrupt, because there's a huge difference between Republicans and Democrats.

00:34:32.000 I'm sorry, hold on a second, let me calm down.

00:34:34.000 This is what happens when Mark Levin comes on.

00:34:35.000 He gets amped up, I get amped up, and then the audience has a heart attack.

00:34:40.000 But why are we not hearing the same kind of solutions that we heard for eight years under President Obama?

00:34:46.000 That's a great point, and I'll tell you, not to hawk my new book, but what the hell, I'll hawk it.

00:34:52.000 Go for it!

00:34:53.000 And the tyranny of progressivism.

00:34:55.000 I'll tell you why.

00:34:56.000 Because we live in a post-constitutional period, really a post-capitalist period, where we tolerate the Constitution, where we tolerate capitalism, but the main job of the federal government today is redistributing wealth.

00:35:08.000 That's what it does.

00:35:10.000 That's clearly not a constitutional power.

00:35:13.000 The Republican Party campaigns one way and it governs another way.

00:35:16.000 And I'm going to tell you why.

00:35:17.000 The left, you're right.

00:35:18.000 The left is cuckoo left wing.

00:35:21.000 That's where they are, and they can't go far enough to the left.

00:35:24.000 No matter what they get, no matter what they nationalize or centralize, it's never enough.

00:35:28.000 Why?

00:35:28.000 Because it can't work.

00:35:29.000 And so the solution is less freedom, less choice, less prosperity for the individual.

00:35:35.000 The problem with the Republican Party is it is a progressive party.

00:35:39.000 It is not an individual party, capitalist party.

00:35:42.000 It's not that anymore.

00:35:44.000 It may talk about it on the fringes.

00:35:45.000 It may help.

00:35:46.000 It may have tax cuts here and there.

00:35:48.000 But you can't name a single major left-wing entitlement or program that's been created that they've really done anything about.

00:35:56.000 Either curtail it, or cut its funding, or eliminate it.

00:36:00.000 No department, no agencies.

00:36:01.000 As a matter of fact, they create departments and agencies.

00:36:04.000 Whether it's OSHA, the EEOC, and the EPA, and on and on and on.

00:36:08.000 They won't even entertain these discussions when they're in Washington, D.C. Now, why?

00:36:12.000 Because a hundred years of progressivism has devoured the civil society.

00:36:17.000 And so we're government-centric rather than individual-centric.

00:36:21.000 And this is what I talk about and write about.

00:36:23.000 And not to get too into the weeds, where does this thinking come from?

00:36:27.000 The thinking comes from certain philosophers.

00:36:30.000 Rousseau, Hegel, Marx, and others to some degree.

00:36:33.000 And they have succeeded.

00:36:34.000 Well, where does our position come from?

00:36:36.000 Individualism, republicanism, private property rights, the Declaration of Independence.

00:36:40.000 Well, they have great philosophers, too.

00:36:42.000 Aristotle, Cicero, Locke, Montesquieu.

00:36:45.000 I think, and maybe I'm wrong, but I think we've got to get back to debating the ideas, talking about our ideals, talking about our principles, because we can win this debate.

00:36:55.000 I don't expect Mitch McConnell to even entertain it or even understand it at this point, and I don't expect it out of the White House.

00:37:01.000 But you and I, in social media, on radio, on TV, in our families and communities, we have got to get back to this, because people are not learning this in college, they're not learning it in high school.

00:37:11.000 Do you want to be free?

00:37:13.000 Do you want to be prosperous?

00:37:14.000 Or do you want to be bullied and coerced the rest of your life?

00:37:17.000 That's the bottom line.

00:37:18.000 Here's the thing, and I hate to break bad news to you.

00:37:21.000 Well, here's the silver lining.

00:37:22.000 Generation Z, younger than us, they're the most... 1.00

00:37:24.000 Stop coughing, Jared.

00:37:26.000 We have a gentleman on this show, and you're ruining it with your coughing. 0.87

00:37:29.000 And he's got cholera.

00:37:30.000 Yes, yes, exactly.

00:37:31.000 It's the air of cholera.

00:37:33.000 Not a great film, by the way.

00:37:34.000 No.

00:37:34.000 So, you assume that people want to be free.

00:37:38.000 Now, Generation Z, they're actually pretty conservative, and by that I mean they're more conservative at that age bracket than baby boomers. 0.76

00:37:44.000 They're still going to lean liberal, but baby boomers were incredibly liberal, so I have hope for them.

00:37:48.000 But, if you look at the actual voting contingency, Things that you would think are self-explanatory.

00:37:53.000 We talk about this a lot.

00:37:54.000 And this is sometimes we get into a conservative echo chamber where you think you're going to say, hey, don't you want to be free?

00:37:59.000 Don't you care about liberty?

00:38:01.000 Do you want to give all that up for some free, subsidized, crappy health care?

00:38:06.000 And there are a lot of people who say, yeah, the free stuff sounds good.

00:38:10.000 And that's the problem.

00:38:11.000 They're not even ashamed of it.

00:38:14.000 This is a great point, and here's what I think has happened.

00:38:17.000 Again, I discussed this, and it's this.

00:38:21.000 You and I view individualism one way, and they view individualism another way.

00:38:25.000 You and I view liberty one way, and they view liberty another way.

00:38:31.000 And that's by construct on the left.

00:38:34.000 For the left, individualism isn't like you and I think.

00:38:37.000 The circle of liberty around the individual.

00:38:39.000 We want to be left alone.

00:38:40.000 We have unalienable rights.

00:38:41.000 We want to be able to prosper and do what we want to do.

00:38:43.000 For the left, for Rousseau, Hegel, Marx, Schumer, Pelosi, and all the rest of them, But individualism is only something that can really be brought forth through the collective, through the community.

00:38:55.000 That's why you hear Bernie Sanders go on about free this and free that for the individual.

00:39:00.000 But they don't believe in individualism.

00:39:02.000 They believe in collectivism.

00:39:03.000 Yes.

00:39:03.000 The same with liberty.

00:39:04.000 There's different...

00:39:06.000 Arguments about liberty.

00:39:07.000 There is a positive liberty and a negative liberty.

00:39:09.000 Now, what's positive liberty?

00:39:11.000 Positive liberty is supposedly the government creating conditions to give you freedom.

00:39:17.000 I'm not talking about republicanism in the Constitution.

00:39:20.000 I'm talking about handouts and welfare and so forth.

00:39:22.000 You can only be free if you get that.

00:39:24.000 Whereas there's negative liberty.

00:39:26.000 What does that mean?

00:39:27.000 Actually, it's the right liberty.

00:39:29.000 And what that means is the liberty to be left alone, as long as you don't affect somebody else's liberty, but the liberty to be left alone.

00:39:37.000 The issues of liberty and individualism and what we mean by property and so forth, I know it seems like a daunting task, but we have to begin to have these discussions and engage.

00:39:47.000 At the college level, on every other level we possibly can.

00:39:50.000 Or you're exactly right.

00:39:51.000 People are going to say, hey, look, I can be free and be on Medicaid.

00:39:55.000 Hey, I can be free and get a government check.

00:39:58.000 Hey, I can be free.

00:39:59.000 I can have iPhones, go to the movie, eat whatever the hell I want. 0.94

00:40:02.000 Plus, screw the rich guy.

00:40:04.000 And we have to explain why, no, actually you can't.

00:40:07.000 And that's actually a viral clip that I remember we rebutted and went, funny enough, two years ago at Fourth of July from the newsroom where Jeff Daniels, he's asked what's great about America, and it's this smug, you know, it's Sorkin, right?

00:40:07.000 That's a good point.

00:40:17.000 He's still around.

00:40:18.000 Well, no, this is a while ago, but Sorkin's a brilliant writer, writes some unbelievable dialogue, but of course he's very left.

00:40:23.000 And he's sitting there, and in the rant he says, I don't know what you talk about American freedom.

00:40:27.000 There are plenty of places that have freedom.

00:40:28.000 France has freedom.

00:40:29.000 Belgium has freedom.

00:40:30.000 And he names a bunch of places, and we ran through it and just tried to contrast with people how much less freedom they have than the average American.

00:40:37.000 I was raised in Canada.

00:40:38.000 We just had this discussion with an Uber driver.

00:40:40.000 I said, you don't understand.

00:40:42.000 Freedom of speech doesn't exist outside the United States.

00:40:44.000 He said, well, come on.

00:40:46.000 They can criticize the government.

00:40:47.000 I said, no, they can't.

00:40:48.000 You can be jailed, and you can be jailed for offensive speech.

00:40:51.000 As a matter of fact, you're most often jailed for offensive speech.

00:40:54.000 And on the cultural level, if anything, our job is to try and engage people on that level where they haven't even looked at it through that lens.

00:41:00.000 And then I know, obviously, when it comes to the constitutional level, understanding our history.

00:41:03.000 For me, when I was going through college, Liberty and Tyranny back then was a book that was like a handbook.

00:41:08.000 And I haven't read this one yet, but I know Rediscovering Americanism.

00:41:11.000 I've heard great things about it.

00:41:13.000 And if the language confuses you, I will say this.

00:41:15.000 Mark Levin is great with that.

00:41:16.000 For example, you'd say, I'm pro-state's rights, but a lot of people didn't understand what statist and federalist meant.

00:41:22.000 To me, federalist was a beer.

00:41:24.000 A great beer.

00:41:25.000 It was a beer called the Federalist.

00:41:26.000 But when you read his book, he puts it in terms you can understand and learn that next level.

00:41:30.000 Hey, where's the best place for people to buy it, Mark?

00:41:33.000 Well, right now, Amazon.com.

00:41:35.000 It's there.

00:41:35.000 You can pre-order it there.

00:41:37.000 And come Tuesday, it'll be everywhere.

00:41:39.000 But right now, if you want to pre-order it...

00:41:39.000 You can get it anywhere.

00:41:41.000 By the way, I checked.

00:41:42.000 It's 40% off.

00:41:44.000 You can go to Amazon.com.

00:41:46.000 And let me sell you my chamois while I've got it.

00:41:49.000 But seriously, I think it's my best book.

00:41:52.000 I think you're going to like it a lot, Steve.

00:41:53.000 Is there an audio version of it?

00:41:56.000 Yes, I did the first chapter and the last chapter.

00:41:58.000 And people said to me, why don't you read the whole thing?

00:42:00.000 You want to know the truth?

00:42:01.000 I have asthma.

00:42:02.000 I can't read the whole thing out loud.

00:42:04.000 I read it to myself.

00:42:05.000 So I do the first chapter and the last chapter, but there is an audio.

00:42:09.000 You're like Peggy from Lord of the Flies by the third chapter.

00:42:11.000 I have a beautiful voice too.

00:42:12.000 I don't want to confuse everybody reading all the chapters.

00:42:15.000 Oh my gosh, I would kill to have you do the audiobook and just call someone a dummy in the middle of it, just to see if they're listening.

00:42:22.000 Mark Levin, CRTV also as well, where you can go see his daily show, buy his book.

00:42:26.000 Mr.

00:42:27.000 Levin, thank you so much.

00:42:28.000 We must go.

00:42:28.000 We really appreciate it.

00:42:29.000 Hope people buy it.

00:42:30.000 God bless.

00:42:31.000 Thanks, Steve.

00:42:31.000 Many of you are still unaware of the items available at louderwithcrowdershop.com.

00:42:48.000 Like our Socialism is for fag shirts, assisting in identifying potential allies. 0.99

00:42:53.000 I found that shirt very offensive. 0.96

00:42:56.000 I think it's pretty funny.

00:43:00.000 Or our Bad Hombres Firearm t-shirt, helping you know who to avoid.

00:43:05.000 Am I to take that shirt to mean that you support some kind of firearm registry?

00:43:13.000 Or this one.

00:43:13.000 Hey, look, it's my face.

00:43:15.000 I hate it.

00:43:21.000 But can I buy the mug from the shop without joining the mug club?

00:43:24.000 The rest of you, check out the merchandise at lotterwithcradershop.com today.

00:43:24.000 No!

00:43:28.000 And I don't want nobody to...

00:43:36.000 Want nobody's. 0.74

00:43:38.000 And I don't want nobody's.

00:43:42.000 You got that right.

00:43:43.000 And I don't want nobody Alright, glad to be back.

00:43:49.000 Rare that we have guests in studio.

00:43:50.000 Last guest we had in studio, I think, was Tommy Loren.

00:43:51.000 Tommy Loren was the last one. 0.83

00:43:52.000 Caught a lot of crap for that. 0.55

00:43:54.000 People thought we were too nice to her, and people thought we were too mean to her, so... 0.99

00:43:58.000 Make up your mind! 0.99

00:43:59.000 Screw you hard. 0.97

00:43:59.000 But glad to have our next guest on. 0.97

00:44:01.000 He's been on the show quite a few times.

00:44:03.000 It's my half-Asian lawyer, Bill Richman.

00:44:05.000 If you need someone to protect you, bring up his lower third there. 0.99

00:44:08.000 Wait, is he half your lawyer, or is he half-Asian and a lawyer?

00:44:12.000 No, he's half-Asian.

00:44:12.000 He's half-Asian.

00:44:13.000 So he's your full-time lawyer.

00:44:15.000 Yes, but he can pass for Latino. 0.95

00:44:17.000 Half-Asian, all Crowder. 1.00

00:44:18.000 Yes, he's all on Team Crowder.

00:44:21.000 Do you use that to your advantage, the Latino thing, when you need to? 1.00

00:44:23.000 Absolutely.

00:44:24.000 Where would it help you?

00:44:24.000 Yeah?

00:44:26.000 In some of the lesser-known malls in St.

00:44:29.000 Louis in high school, I would sometimes act like I just worked there in doing certain lower-tier jobs, some would consider, in order to escape notice.

00:44:38.000 Okay.

00:44:38.000 And then once you moved to upper management, you just fired everybody and hired Asians.

00:44:42.000 Exactly.

00:44:42.000 Yes.

00:44:43.000 Well, they protect their own.

00:44:45.000 So, for people who don't know, we said we were going to talk about this.

00:44:47.000 We were gone to New York City for the YouTube conference.

00:44:50.000 We talked about it before we left.

00:44:52.000 We were kind of...

00:44:52.000 I wouldn't even say skeptically optimistic.

00:44:55.000 I would say skeptical in general.

00:44:57.000 And...

00:44:59.000 I think now we can say it.

00:45:00.000 We didn't really say we were bringing our lawyer, and then we just said you worked with the program.

00:45:04.000 True.

00:45:05.000 But we did think that there was just going to be a setup because they were going to hit us with a bunch of copyright claims, and boom, you're out of here.

00:45:12.000 I think all of us feared that, right?

00:45:13.000 Well, that was a concern.

00:45:14.000 I mean, given how some of the other social media platforms have not been ashamed to talk about their targeting of the right, we thought that that might have been a possibility.

00:45:24.000 Yeah.

00:45:24.000 So, we get there.

00:45:26.000 We thought we were the only conservatives.

00:45:27.000 Allison...

00:45:28.000 Okay?

00:45:29.000 She made me correct this from the tweet.

00:45:30.000 We weren't...

00:45:31.000 It was nothing but conservatives.

00:45:32.000 Yeah.

00:45:32.000 Which really means it was us, the PragerU people, and then there weren't really many other YouTube folk.

00:45:37.000 Yeah.

00:45:38.000 Which is odd, because they just never...

00:45:39.000 They never...

00:45:40.000 I don't think at any point just...

00:45:43.000 Addressed that.

00:45:44.000 Addressed that.

00:45:44.000 It was all conservatives.

00:45:44.000 So we thought it was going to be like D-Day.

00:45:45.000 Yeah.

00:45:46.000 Pontoon boats, you know, just everyone gone, you know, walking around carrying your own arm and ringing in your ears.

00:45:51.000 We thought, oh no, this is going to be bad.

00:45:54.000 Um...

00:45:55.000 Like Jared said, we were sitting there, I remember, for the first half of the day going, this could just be an orientation for first-time YouTubers or people who do makeup tutorials.

00:46:03.000 Yeah, it was a little bit of basic content.

00:46:05.000 A little bit of it was quite a snooze about the basics of copyright, which obviously we've been well-versed in that for quite a while.

00:46:12.000 But it took a turn about halfway through the day.

00:46:15.000 Well, it did take a turn, and a big part of that was a lady who you spoke with, one of the heads over there at YouTube Legal Policy. 0.97

00:46:20.000 And what was interesting was she actually remembered you and myself.

00:46:23.000 She did.

00:46:24.000 She actually had some first-hand knowledge about the whole Shia LaBeouf Museum of the Moving Image dispute, and knew that it was an issue that created some consternation at YouTube.

00:46:35.000 Well, because it was a gray area for them, and they removed the feed, they put it back up, then they removed it again, but she did seem pretty reasonable, unlike one of the earlier lawyers.

00:46:46.000 So before we get, I would say, what would you say first off?

00:46:49.000 We'll play a clip.

00:46:50.000 The end of the day.

00:46:51.000 Conclusion, then we'll work backwards.

00:46:53.000 Positive?

00:46:54.000 Positive.

00:46:54.000 And I said this.

00:46:55.000 I said at the end of the day, they paid a lot of money for people to come out there.

00:46:58.000 Yeah.

00:46:58.000 So either it had to be a photo op where they tend to screw everybody or they are legitimately looking to rebuild the relationships there.

00:47:07.000 Yeah.

00:47:07.000 Because I don't think any middle ground there really makes a lot of sense because they spent a lot of money.

00:47:11.000 I mean, it's New York City.

00:47:12.000 Housing that many people.

00:47:13.000 Bringing them out.

00:47:14.000 It's not a cheap ordeal.

00:47:17.000 So it's a little expensive just for a photo op.

00:47:19.000 I tend to believe it was a positive takeaway.

00:47:22.000 Okay, and Bill, this is a legal expert.

00:47:25.000 My thought was they either had Oscar-worthy performers or they actually cared because some of the folks that we spoke with, from Allison to Katie to Alex to a few of the others, seemed to genuinely want to hear us out and they weren't dismissive.

00:47:39.000 They said they understood.

00:47:41.000 Yeah.

00:47:41.000 I would say so, too.

00:47:42.000 I thought overall it was positive.

00:47:43.000 You know, obviously there's been the Tranny Bane saga.

00:47:46.000 We've been always bringing up whenever there is this kind of more so culture of censorship.

00:47:52.000 We can't really use the term censorship, but YouTube claims it's an open and free platform, and there were some scary times there.

00:47:57.000 So I would say, yeah, it was really conciliatory, it seemed, at the end.

00:48:00.000 They realized they had made some mistakes, and we've seen differences in our channels.

00:48:04.000 They couldn't stop talking about it.

00:48:05.000 You could tell something that dripped through YouTube.

00:48:07.000 You could tell something, yeah.

00:48:08.000 Everyone's like, yeah, that was a really rough few weeks.

00:48:10.000 That was a really rough few weeks.

00:48:12.000 And the theme for people who work on YouTube out there, we've had Stephen Molyneux on, Colin, Dave Rubin, was that they understand now they're not going to be CNN. They're not going to be Fox News online.

00:48:23.000 The audience rejects it, so they need to dance with the one they brought.

00:48:26.000 And...

00:48:27.000 They need to somewhat have some conservative voices.

00:48:30.000 I understand, though, for YouTube, that's also really hard.

00:48:31.000 Outside of what we do in Prager University, a handful of channels, really, there aren't a lot.

00:48:37.000 There's certainly not in the realm of Samantha Bee, Trevor Noah, Conan, Kimmel, Fallon.

00:48:41.000 It's all left.

00:48:42.000 Seth Meyers.

00:48:44.000 So I get their quandary.

00:48:45.000 One thing I will say, and then we'll talk about YouTube more so, they did have a guest speaker.

00:48:51.000 So I don't want to give away too much information, but she runs one of the biggest news channels on YouTube, deals with a lot of news, political issues, controversial issues, certainly much more profane than us.

00:49:01.000 Not FCC compliant.

00:49:02.000 As a matter of fact, when they played a clip at the expo, they were like, let's run some of your news, and then it was just like N-word, N-word, M-F-er. 0.89

00:49:09.000 Oh, let's turn that down with a room full of white people. 1.00

00:49:12.000 So, no secret to controversy.

00:49:15.000 But left-wing.

00:49:17.000 I asked a question when they opened it up to Q&A, and I think this was the turning point, because before this, everyone was just kind of...

00:49:24.000 It was generic.

00:49:25.000 They weren't addressing the elephant in the room.

00:49:27.000 This girl made the mistake of answering a question honestly, and we want to be honest with you guys.

00:49:32.000 YouTube has been very good to us, but here's someone who didn't work for YouTube, runs a Big Left News channel.

00:49:37.000 Go.

00:49:37.000 So since you mentioned that you're video-based...

00:49:40.000 Have you, I mean, you're dealing obviously with a room here of the evil right-wingers.

00:49:44.000 We've all been a part of this YouTube apocalypse revenue with news channels.

00:49:48.000 And so even though our watch times, I don't know about everyone here, but our watch times are up, retention is up, engagements are up, you know, revenue is down dramatically.

00:49:57.000 Have you seen that with your channel?

00:49:58.000 No, to be completely honest.

00:50:00.000 Sorry.

00:50:01.000 So maybe we can talk to your person to get our next election stream featured.

00:50:05.000 There you go.

00:50:06.000 That's it.

00:50:07.000 Everything is far worse content.

00:50:09.000 No, to be honest, you should not have been honest, sweetheart.

00:50:11.000 No, you should not have been honest.

00:50:12.000 She just got done.

00:50:13.000 It was our first stream ever, something political, and YouTube streams on the homepage, our election livestream.

00:50:21.000 It has like a million plagues or something.

00:50:22.000 Our presidential debates, half a million, half a million, 700,000.

00:50:24.000 So we had been doing it without the aid of YouTube, and they decided to feature her. 0.98

00:50:28.000 And I feel like there were people in the back of the room going, damn it.

00:50:33.000 And after that, they kind of were more forthcoming about, okay, yeah, some stuff's been going on. 0.96

00:50:37.000 There definitely came a break there and where there was some acknowledgement, some hand wringing in a positive way to say, maybe you guys guessed this is why you're here.

00:50:46.000 Maybe you didn't know that initially, but we're trying to mend fences.

00:50:50.000 And there were a couple conservative people who worked there at YouTube, to be fair.

00:50:52.000 That's true.

00:50:53.000 And some people who were more left, and I got the sense there were some people there who were kind of left who worked at YouTube, but they're not as far left as the people who really wanted to change the policy and ban everything as hate speech.

00:51:02.000 You told me, actually, we didn't talk since then.

00:51:04.000 You said they've actually changed their controversial subject to their policy.

00:51:07.000 So some of the language that was very subjective, some of the very broad language about things that are offensive or not, have been dialed back.

00:51:14.000 And they've actually provided more detail about their policies.

00:51:17.000 So over the last couple of months, we were told by some higher-up folks at YouTube that that change was going to happen in response to some of the complaints, some of the things that we had been saying on the show and otherwise.

00:51:27.000 And it looks like that's coming to fruition, which would tend to support YouTube's position that they want to be a more neutral platform, even when they're getting hit by...

00:51:40.000 What's crazy to me is if they want to talk about making more money, YouTube's not profitable.

00:51:44.000 And I spoke with someone there, and I don't think Jared was with me, but you can see the lights go on.

00:51:48.000 I said, listen, you have every different creamer known to man here.

00:51:53.000 Every different espresso bean, every single origin tea leaf.

00:51:57.000 Did you open the milk thing?

00:51:58.000 Yeah.

00:51:59.000 The milk container for their coffee?

00:52:01.000 It was almond milk, cashew milk, organic everything.

00:52:06.000 Yeah.

00:52:07.000 Milk side there.

00:52:08.000 It was exactly what you'd expect YouTube Google to be.

00:52:11.000 And at one point I went to go to the bathroom and it's like everything was clear, like sleeper.

00:52:14.000 And there's these clear doors and I can see the bathroom symbol.

00:52:17.000 And so I go to open it and this lady stops me like right in the chest. 1.00

00:52:21.000 She looks at me and she goes, ho! 1.00

00:52:22.000 You don't have a badge.

00:52:23.000 Like, I was Himmler.

00:52:24.000 I mean, she was so unbelievably offended.

00:52:27.000 We were rallied in this back room.

00:52:29.000 So we were kind of rallied as cattle back there for a bit.

00:52:31.000 We were a little bit afraid.

00:52:32.000 But I do think, having watched it now, I spoke with someone there.

00:52:37.000 I said, listen, if you want to make money...

00:52:40.000 It's not a sponsorship problem, but my channel, you're watching this right now, you'll probably see an ad for Muslim Singles, or Gay Cruises, or Bernie Sanders.

00:52:48.000 And I'll see ads for the NRA, or I'll see ads for the USCCA, or some more conservative causes, but they just don't run on my channel.

00:52:56.000 I'm saying, you've spent this whole day trying to impress us with all your algorithms, all your software, all the tech that you have.

00:53:02.000 All your young turks. 0.97

00:53:04.000 All your young turks. 0.97

00:53:06.000 And you can't get rid of the Muslim singles ads on my channel, the hijab. 1.00

00:53:10.000 That would be pennies on the dollar for us, which we've seen.

00:53:13.000 But here's the thing.

00:53:14.000 For every subject that they think is controversial, you know, as a lawyer, there are advertisers who will pay that much more to be involved with that.

00:53:21.000 In other words, if YouTube's saying, well, Second Amendment stuff is very controversial...

00:53:25.000 Any gun manufacturer, any firearm manufacturer, any ammo company would pay extra to get in front of that audience.

00:53:32.000 They would.

00:53:32.000 I don't know what YouTube's thinking.

00:53:35.000 That's where you go, is it ideological, or do you think they're in such a bubble there?

00:53:38.000 And I felt like this.

00:53:39.000 Some of them were in such a bubble.

00:53:41.000 We have to allow.

00:53:42.000 You don't want a tribute motive.

00:53:43.000 I think they maybe just missed it.

00:53:45.000 And that might be it.

00:53:46.000 In a big organization, you kind of think about the echo chamber that we've seen a lot of on both sides, but particularly on the left.

00:53:52.000 And then you figure where are these people based, where are the company, where are the voices coming from that are influencing their decisions?

00:53:58.000 And it's perhaps no surprise that they have a blind spot as to how conservative voices are being treated on their platform.

00:54:06.000 Yeah.

00:54:06.000 Also, one of their lawyers was Asian, so it seemed like you two had that kind of going on.

00:54:09.000 We did.

00:54:10.000 We did.

00:54:10.000 We actually secretly made fun of every white person in the room and knew that you'd all be speaking some type of Asian language within the decade.

00:54:16.000 Yes, some type of Asian language.

00:54:20.000 Probably not Okinawan.

00:54:21.000 Is Okinawan a language or do they just speak Japanese?

00:54:23.000 Is there a language?

00:54:24.000 An Okinawan language?

00:54:25.000 They just speak winning.

00:54:27.000 They just speak winning?

00:54:28.000 That's how we do it.

00:54:28.000 Well, when it comes to karate tournaments and training up young Italians.

00:54:31.000 Okay, so the Outlook, YouTube, we would all say positive.

00:54:35.000 Yes.

00:54:35.000 Positive.

00:54:36.000 Facebook, still crap. 1.00

00:54:38.000 Still crap. 1.00

00:54:38.000 Facebook, still crap. 1.00

00:54:40.000 And we still have some cards up our sleeve with the Facebook, right? 1.00

00:54:42.000 We do.

00:54:43.000 We do.

00:54:43.000 We have some interesting things in the works.

00:54:45.000 Yeah, we do.

00:54:46.000 For people who don't know, the Facebook, we were named as the page to throttle along Ted Cruz for President and the Chris Kyle Foundation.

00:54:52.000 And we worked most of it out, but there have been some shenanigans.

00:54:57.000 Some things that raise eyebrows and wonder if things are actually changing.

00:55:00.000 Now again, big organization.

00:55:01.000 Maybe the left doesn't know what the right hand's doing, but given that they've been on notice, it's a wonder how these things continue to happen.

00:55:08.000 Especially since they just got a guy, they helped get a guy sentenced to death in Pakistan.

00:55:12.000 They send their investigative...

00:55:13.000 How did you think it was going to go?

00:55:14.000 That's my question.

00:55:16.000 Pakistan said, like, we need help to find out people who are abusing the platform.

00:55:19.000 And Facebook said, yeah, we're going to send an investigative assistant to the government of Pakistan.

00:55:25.000 How did they get Eddie Haskell'd with that?

00:55:27.000 I don't know.

00:55:27.000 How did they get fooled?

00:55:29.000 I don't think they got fooled.

00:55:31.000 Am I completely off?

00:55:32.000 Does that play into some safe harbor issues that are going on with some of these companies?

00:55:36.000 Is that why they conceded to trying to help out?

00:55:39.000 No, that was a politically correct kind of virtue signaling.

00:55:41.000 We're going to help people in the Middle East and remove blasphemy from Facebook.

00:55:45.000 I just don't think...

00:55:46.000 I don't think they're well-versed enough in the Quran to understand or actually understand that Islamic countries are hellholes. 1.00

00:55:52.000 They are absolute crap holes where human rights don't exist. 0.99

00:55:55.000 I don't think if you told Zuckerberg, like, actually, women can't drive in Saudi Arabia. 0.98

00:55:59.000 I think Mark Zuckerberg is a genius when it comes to tech.

00:56:01.000 I bet you he doesn't know that law.

00:56:02.000 I bet you he doesn't know that there are blasphemy laws where you die in Pakistan.

00:56:05.000 So I bet you when he made that executive decision to send someone over to Pakistan, which sent chills down my spine, genuinely, where he said, yeah, we'll send someone over to help you guys with the blaspheming. 1.00

00:56:15.000 I think Mark Zuckerberg thought, like, oh yeah, they're going to hold hands and have a meeting.

00:56:19.000 I don't think he knew that they were going to slit his throat.

00:56:21.000 You don't think Pakistan was trying to hold Facebook accountable for those things?

00:56:25.000 No, no, I think Facebook was just trying to play ball.

00:56:28.000 That makes sense.

00:56:28.000 I'm not surprised either way.

00:56:29.000 I just, legitimate question.

00:56:31.000 It's like we said, it's the oppression Olympics.

00:56:33.000 It's who's the most oppressed class of that day.

00:56:35.000 I think some terrorist attacks went on. 0.90

00:56:36.000 They had some bad PR, so Facebook said, oh, don't worry, we'll take care of you, just like Germany with the migrant rape. 0.99

00:56:42.000 Okay, Bill, so this is a good lesson, I think, on people, what YouTube did.

00:56:45.000 Bring people out.

00:56:47.000 They should have had the conversation a little earlier on the outset, but once we did, it was productive, and you're going to be back to keep the audience posted?

00:56:54.000 Absolutely.

00:56:55.000 What do you expect to happen?

00:56:56.000 I expect more conversations.

00:56:58.000 That's such a generic answer.

00:57:00.000 What do you think about that?

00:57:01.000 I don't know what he's talking about.

00:57:03.000 I do know that the guy can drink.

00:57:05.000 He can't. 1.00

00:57:05.000 Holy crap. 1.00

00:57:07.000 He can drink and the guy can act. 0.99

00:57:11.000 Oh, we talked about that. 0.97

00:57:13.000 By the way, if you want good service in New York City, we talked about this yesterday, but it was for the superfans behind the paywall, just act gay. 0.90

00:57:19.000 They did not like you at the speakeas where we went to. 0.91

00:57:22.000 They hated Jared from the outset.

00:57:24.000 And then when Bill and Jared said they were just recently married in Vermont and looking for places to take cool wedding pictures but not super touristy, they couldn't serve you quickly enough?

00:57:33.000 They took a drink off the bill?

00:57:34.000 They did.

00:57:36.000 They brought in a friend to come tell us better wedding places.

00:57:39.000 That's true!

00:57:40.000 They did bring in a friend!

00:57:40.000 And she was Asian!

00:57:42.000 Which I think was pretty presumptuous.

00:57:44.000 Yeah, it was.

00:57:44.000 She was very awkward.

00:57:46.000 Exceedingly awkward.

00:57:47.000 She was like, oh, well, if you're, um, uh, are you in Brooklyn?

00:57:52.000 Oh, you're, well, you're in Chelsea.

00:57:54.000 There's a great park.

00:57:55.000 And we're just like, sweetheart, sweetheart, it's okay.

00:57:58.000 No one has a secret GoPro.

00:57:59.000 It's cool.

00:58:00.000 It's cool.

00:58:00.000 You're good.

00:58:01.000 You're good.

00:58:01.000 I do notice Asians treat each other very differently.

00:58:03.000 It's like there's a secret handshake, like they're completing the Christian fish. 1.00

00:58:05.000 All right.

00:58:06.000 Bill Richmond, my half-Asian.

00:58:08.000 Where am I? Why are we talking here?

00:58:09.000 Big shot?

00:58:09.000 All right.

00:58:09.000 Keep him in there.

00:58:10.000 My half-Asian lawyer.

00:58:12.000 PCRfirm.com.

00:58:13.000 Really great people.

00:58:13.000 And I will tell you this about the law firm where he works.

00:58:15.000 This is not an infomercial.

00:58:16.000 He had last minute.

00:58:17.000 He said, yeah, you can plug my firm.

00:58:19.000 He looks at risk as a sliding scale, which we need with our brand.

00:58:23.000 Any lawyer can say no.

00:58:24.000 He finds solutions.

00:58:26.000 Thank you very much, sir.

00:58:27.000 Have you back soon.

00:58:27.000 Glad to be here.

00:58:30.000 Home Body Break with Stephen Crowder and NotGage Eric.

00:58:47.000 Summer's a great time to use the pool and cool off, but it's not for everyone.

00:58:51.000 I'm not a confident swimmer.

00:58:52.000 And that's why there are a few key safety tips you have to follow first before you take part in your summer refreshment.

00:58:58.000 The proper flotation devices and a positive attitude go a long way to ensuring a pleasant pool experience.

00:59:07.000 And fencing off the danger zones is a must to ensure that the aquatically challenged don't find their way in. - The wings were . - Shit. 0.95

00:59:21.000 - Oh shit. - Shit. - I don't know how has that happened, they should put me at the fence up. 1.00

00:59:25.000 That's not a real fence.

00:59:26.000 That's where we put the fence in.

00:59:28.000 You're supposed to know that he's not going there.

00:59:30.000 The wings weren't just... 0.92

00:59:32.000 Home Body Break with Steven Crowder and Not Gay Jerry. 0.72

00:59:41.000 Sponsored by Mug Club.

00:59:43.000 Join today at louderwithgrider.com slash micro.

00:59:46.000 Thank you.

01:00:17.000 Of course, the authentic Vans sneakers that you see in old Bavarian.

01:00:22.000 You know, Bavarian music sounds a lot like Mexican.

01:00:25.000 Was that Bavarian?

01:00:25.000 Are you sure that was?

01:00:26.000 I promise it was.

01:00:27.000 It sounds a lot like a mariachi band.

01:00:29.000 I thought that was polka, what I just heard.

01:00:31.000 No, that was traditional German, beautiful music from the Germans.

01:00:37.000 It was beautiful music from a keyboard somewhere in Schenectady.

01:00:41.000 It's funny because they have a lot in common with the Mexicans.

01:00:44.000 The Mexicans can't stop hopping the border and the Germans can't stop letting them all in. 1.00

01:00:48.000 It's true. 0.88

01:00:49.000 Also, lots of crime.

01:00:51.000 Lots of crime. 1.00

01:00:52.000 The Mexicans commit the crimes. 1.00

01:00:53.000 The Germans are the victims of the crimes. 1.00

01:00:55.000 They just keep allowing it.

01:00:56.000 They just keep allowing it to happen.

01:00:57.000 Sorry, Sven Computer.

01:00:59.000 Beep, boop, boop. 1.00

01:01:00.000 Really, thanks so much to Mark Levin for being on the show.

01:01:02.000 Glad to have him.

01:01:02.000 Thanks so much to Bill Richman.

01:01:04.000 Hey, to go back to that, and next week we have a great week, and then we're off for the first week ever since the inception of this show.

01:01:13.000 Well, certainly since this show, but I think since you and I have been in the den.

01:01:17.000 I don't think we've ever taken a week off.

01:01:19.000 This is a first.

01:01:20.000 Yeah, it's a first.

01:01:21.000 It's going to be the fourth.

01:01:22.000 We'll have a couple of videos for you on the YouTube channel, probably up on CRTV. But 4th of July, my 30th birthday, actually.

01:01:31.000 You're so old.

01:01:32.000 I know, I feel so old.

01:01:33.000 So, big one.

01:01:34.000 Big one, I have a big anniversary coming up.

01:01:35.000 So I will not be here the week after next.

01:01:38.000 And you can send your hate tweets.

01:01:40.000 Hopper's filling in, though.

01:01:41.000 Hopper's filling in.

01:01:42.000 Yeah.

01:01:43.000 Let's look at it.

01:01:44.000 Pretty much just mauls the camera.

01:01:45.000 That's it.

01:01:46.000 That's it.

01:01:46.000 The camera's just going to be chewed down to a saliva snub.

01:01:50.000 I don't even know if saliva is a word.

01:01:51.000 Let me go back to the YouTube thing.

01:01:52.000 We had bits that we rewrote.

01:01:56.000 For today.

01:01:57.000 We had literally Hitler and the YouTubin. 0.98

01:01:59.000 And the reason we didn't was because we were asked by some people at YouTube, they said, listen, give us some time here.

01:02:04.000 We really are trying to work on this.

01:02:06.000 And let me tell you what, we've talked about this, we preach it, even though we're really frustrated because everyone makes their living.

01:02:12.000 We're...

01:02:14.000 We're fortunate enough to have Mug Club, and how many of you have joined, and CRTV, so we're not entirely dependent on YouTube.

01:02:20.000 If we didn't, if people out there didn't join at Mug Club, 69 for students, we wouldn't be able to do this.

01:02:25.000 This would be gone, this show would be gone, it wouldn't exist.

01:02:27.000 So if you really do like the show, if you like the free content, you have to join if you want to stick around.

01:02:31.000 But they did say, so we would be really in a bad space if YouTube had continued down this path, but they said, we get it, and just give us some time.

01:02:40.000 So we are going to give them some time, but let me tell you something.

01:02:43.000 A lot of conservatives there, and Ben Shapiro will tell you this because people were there who were friends with Ben Shapiro.

01:02:49.000 I've never felt so alone as when I'm in a room often with conservatives.

01:02:54.000 I used to think I was in college, but you expect it.

01:02:56.000 You expect to be surrounded by liberals.

01:02:58.000 You expect it when I was in the entertainment industry.

01:02:59.000 But once I got around conservatives or college Republicans or I would speak at functions, I felt more alone.

01:03:03.000 Because I have people come up who say, you know what you need to do, so you need to joke less and be more serious about, or they would be afraid to discuss something that was controversial or offensive.

01:03:12.000 We actually had that.

01:03:14.000 We had a guy behind me after they opened it up to Q&A. When I asked a question, and then I'll explain the question, he said, yes, I have a less salacious question.

01:03:23.000 Remember that?

01:03:24.000 So what was my question?

01:03:26.000 Well, again, I don't want to throw YouTube under the bus.

01:03:29.000 I think they're going to do well.

01:03:30.000 This was a lawyer there who didn't officially work with YouTube, had worked with Viacom.

01:03:34.000 She was talking about copyright, and she was saying, you know, when you're criticizing something, when you're using a clip from something, first off, they always just say, the safe bet is just don't do it.

01:03:43.000 As all good lawyers say, which is why we love ours.

01:03:45.000 Do makeup tutorials instead.

01:03:47.000 Or at one point they said, make sure your parody is really complimentary.

01:03:50.000 Yeah, that works for us.

01:03:52.000 She was like, this parody of Girls did okay because it was SNL and it was really complimentary.

01:03:59.000 And I said, yeah, what if we're not SNL and we hate the show Girls?

01:04:03.000 Yeah.

01:04:05.000 Cricket.

01:04:05.000 I guess you're kind of out of luck.

01:04:07.000 Cricket.

01:04:08.000 But this was the question.

01:04:09.000 She was talking about criticism and fair use.

01:04:11.000 And this is a big thing on YouTube out there.

01:04:13.000 And I will say, people who are heads of legal policy at YouTube seem to get it.

01:04:16.000 And Bill Richman is going to be working in D.C. on our behalf, fighting for online safe harbors and freedom of speech.

01:04:22.000 My question was this.

01:04:24.000 I said, OK, when you're talking about criticisms, you said don't take clips that are truly the heart of the original clip.

01:04:31.000 And I said this in a room full of YouTube executives and this lady, and I said, well, for example, two days ago, YouTube featured a video from BuzzFeed Ladylike where they painted with their period blood. 0.53

01:04:42.000 So, considering I don't really understand the controversial guidelines, which we'll get to in a moment, I don't know where painting with your period blood lines up, but since I would want to address the heart of this video, namely criticize this post-modernist art of them painting in their period blood...

01:04:58.000 Would that be considered fair use?

01:04:59.000 Because I am taking the heart of the issue.

01:05:01.000 Their whole video centered around them painting with their period blood.

01:05:04.000 Where would that line up if I wanted to issue a criticism of them painting with their period blood, which YouTube featured?

01:05:10.000 And this is where you could hear some conservatives there go, Now, I don't want to talk about painting with period blood.

01:05:18.000 Here's why that was important.

01:05:19.000 And Jared was there with me.

01:05:20.000 It was important for everyone at YouTube and all these lawyers and people who wanted to sit us down and give us nice muffins and people who wanted a free trip to New York.

01:05:29.000 Now, if we weren't going to get our questions answered, it was going to be a waste of time and that's not why we flew halfway across the country.

01:05:36.000 I wanted everyone there who took part in featuring this content to To hear exactly what it is.

01:05:43.000 Just like the ultrasound with an abortion. 0.57

01:05:46.000 Truth tends to revolt the left.

01:05:50.000 I bet you people who featured it didn't watch women painting with their period blood. 0.97

01:05:54.000 I don't know anyone who's made it through that entire video.

01:05:55.000 It was featured on YouTube.

01:05:57.000 Millions of plays.

01:05:58.000 It's not getting that on its own.

01:05:59.000 It's because of the support that has come from social media, from people at the top.

01:06:04.000 And that's after that, you know, the guy said, well, I have a less salacious question.

01:06:08.000 Yeah. 0.91

01:06:08.000 And I thought that every conservative there would go, yeah, yeah, hey, isn't this ridiculous? 0.91

01:06:15.000 We're releasing PragerU videos, or we're sitting here dressed in Bavarian Germany lederhosen. 0.99

01:06:21.000 This is more controversial than women, who are the most profane, disgusting human beings and everything, painting with their menstruation. 1.00

01:06:29.000 It was important to contrast that. 0.95

01:06:31.000 And sometimes that's what this program is.

01:06:33.000 If it seems like it's a blunt force trauma, that's by design.

01:06:38.000 Sometimes you just have to bring the truth to the forefront.

01:06:40.000 And I think we tiptoe around it, and that's the difference between content and context.

01:06:45.000 If you look at what we do, it's very rare that contextually we're just going, let's just talk about, period, let's just be disgusting.

01:06:51.000 This is the world we live in.

01:06:53.000 And it's a world that the left digitally has created.

01:06:55.000 And Christians and conservatives and libertarians and think tank activists and the pseudo-intellectuals, they miss it.

01:07:03.000 And they lose because of that.

01:07:05.000 And I know a lot of you out there, you know, the muckrakers online at YouTube...

01:07:10.000 You get it.

01:07:10.000 And that's what's changing.

01:07:12.000 Only when that has changed, and we've seen that on YouTube, only when, I don't want to say trolling, and you don't need to go and post racist memes.

01:07:19.000 That would be problematic.

01:07:20.000 That would be problematic.

01:07:21.000 That was another thing.

01:07:23.000 We sat there, and they used the word problematic at YouTube so many times.

01:07:27.000 That hint of irony.

01:07:28.000 And then you and I laughed out loud.

01:07:31.000 We did.

01:07:31.000 And then everyone else was laughing that we were laughing.

01:07:34.000 You know, because most people in the room, conservatives, who are out there championing your freedom of speech, I'm not throwing anyone specifically under the bus, there were some good people there, but they zip.

01:07:45.000 You know what you need to do when someone says problematic or someone says trigger warning or safe space or microaggression in a sentence?

01:07:51.000 Seriously?

01:07:54.000 Like Robert De Niro at the theater in Cape Fear.

01:07:56.000 That's what you need to do.

01:08:03.000 So they go, why are you laughing?

01:08:04.000 And you explain to them why.

01:08:07.000 And that's what happened at YouTube.

01:08:08.000 And that's what the second half of the day was entirely different because we openly said, listen, this is a waste of time.

01:08:13.000 We are all right wing here.

01:08:15.000 And everyone is terrified that you're going to remove us, that you're going to try and silence the voices, that you're going to remove our sponsorships, that you're going to flag us as hate speech.

01:08:23.000 And you're sitting here showing us your cool studios.

01:08:26.000 And again, some people there by the end were fantastic.

01:08:29.000 So my bone to pick is not with people at YouTube, but I hate that us, the silly comedians with a show like this, went in among people with far greater intellectual power than us.

01:08:41.000 And we had to pave that way for people to speak boldly.

01:08:44.000 That's true.

01:08:44.000 And you notice there's a couple people there who were emboldened by us just dropping the pears on the floor and letting them speak like, oh yeah, that is why we're all here, isn't it?

01:08:54.000 There's a lot of bull crap going on.

01:08:56.000 There were obviously the PragerU guys, all of them at Daily Wire. 0.99

01:08:58.000 There were some cool people from American Enterprise Institute.

01:09:02.000 And if I'm missing people, don't send me an angry email.

01:09:05.000 But there were some people out there who were clearly upset.

01:09:08.000 Remember when one person said, what's the not gay thing?

01:09:12.000 What's that about? 0.99

01:09:14.000 And I was a total jackass. 0.96

01:09:16.000 It was at that point where I said... 0.99

01:09:17.000 Oh, by the way, yeah.

01:09:18.000 You wore your Not Gay t-shirt around the... 0.74

01:09:19.000 Yes, I wore my Not Gay t-shirt to Google.

01:09:21.000 Yeah.

01:09:21.000 And I just...

01:09:22.000 Do you remember what I answered?

01:09:24.000 I don't remember, actually.

01:09:25.000 And I said, yeah, it's a humor thing.

01:09:29.000 It's not going to be explained.

01:09:31.000 The fact that someone would ask a conservative a hint of irony with some mild offense at the not gay Jared theme.

01:09:38.000 So this is just something that you need to know.

01:09:40.000 It's not always the left who's behaving so poorly behind closed doors.

01:09:43.000 Some people at YouTube have, but there's some people that are really trying to make corrections and we will keep you posted.

01:09:47.000 Sometimes it's that they're so far off the beam and none of the people who should be representing you or your voice Even try to step him back in line.

01:09:56.000 And just think about that with your elected officials and representatives and people in media.

01:10:00.000 You would be amazed.

01:10:01.000 You think there's someone at the tiller of the ship?

01:10:04.000 You're going, well, there's someone who knows more than I. There's someone who can go in on my behalf.

01:10:08.000 Often there isn't.

01:10:09.000 And they don't.

01:10:11.000 So if you think someone's at the tiller of the ship, but you're not getting the results that you want, guess what?

01:10:15.000 Grab the tiller of the ship.

01:10:17.000 Get there and take it on yourself.

01:10:19.000 That is one thing that I will say.
