00:05:54.000 music plays music plays

00:05:58.000 music plays music plays

00:06:02.000 That's about how much snap is coming your way today.

00:06:29.000 Ooh.

00:06:30.000 Ooh.

00:06:31.000 Like Nakajir, throwing that jab in Courtney's face when they do their kickboxing match. 1.00

00:06:35.000 I'm trying to get it going on.

00:06:37.000 We've got some incredible guests today.

00:06:37.000 Why?

00:06:39.000 We have Elon Musk.

00:06:41.000 We have Ryan Bader.

00:06:42.000 We have Blair White. 0.83

00:06:43.000 We have Ben Shapiro.

00:06:45.000 And we have Owen Benjamin.

00:06:46.000 Owen Benjamin, I believe, later on with Little Diddy.

00:06:48.000 Little Diddy.

00:06:49.000 So, big show.

00:06:50.000 A lot of news to get to.

00:06:51.000 A lot of news to get to with North Korea that's been happening, and of course Iran.

00:06:54.000 We haven't talked about it that much this week because we wanted to see it play out.

00:06:58.000 Spoiler alert.

00:07:00.000 Not very well.

00:07:02.000 Producing with me in video studio, as always, is Jared, who is not gay. 0.98

00:07:05.000 Follow him on Twitter at NotGayJared.

00:07:05.000 Meet us, crowd, with your comments, your thoughts, your photoshops.

00:07:07.000 We got a great photoshop recently with a portrait of me with Hopper and the Kramer thing.

00:07:12.000 I guess it's not a photoshop so much as a painting.

00:07:15.000 Send them! 0.85

00:07:16.000 We love them.

00:07:16.000 We're going to get that up in the studio.

00:07:17.000 I fulfill my legal obligations drawing conclusions.

00:07:19.000 Are we good?

00:07:19.000 Good, I appreciate that.

00:07:20.000 G Morgan Jr.

00:07:21.000 at GMorganJrSimplifiedWine.com.

00:07:23.000 He drinks a lot.

00:07:24.000 I do.

00:07:25.000 Usually he'd be considered a wino, but you slap a title on him, sommelier, and all of a sudden he has more taste buds.

00:07:30.000 What's the wine of the day?

00:07:30.000 Perfect.

00:07:31.000 Chateau Saint-Michel Ethos.

00:07:32.000 Chateau Saint-Michel Ethos.

00:07:34.000 Chateau Saint-Michel.

00:07:35.000 So you say Michelle, so it sounds like a girl's name.

00:07:37.000 Hey Sven, what's the overlays?

00:07:37.000 There you go.

00:07:39.000 Ah, see, I almost did it.

00:07:39.000 Are you ready?

00:07:42.000 I almost did it, because I was giving you hope.

00:07:44.000 See, I was giving you hope.

00:07:45.000 What in the world just happened?

00:07:46.000 I was giving you hope.

00:07:47.000 I'm ready, beep beep.

00:07:48.000 As a sign of peace, in the Iranian sense, I want to... Ah!

00:07:54.000 That was pretty good.

00:07:57.000 You can go straight to where Angela Merkel dwells.

00:08:00.000 Is this Walther's shirt day and I didn't get the memo?

00:08:02.000 No, I don't know.

00:08:03.000 By the way, Walther, don't say that you didn't get more than you paid for.

00:08:06.000 I do love their firearms.

00:08:07.000 Question of the day before we move on. 0.97

00:08:09.000 In relation to North Korea and Iran, Why should the USA give a rat's ass as to what other countries think about us, our responsibilities, our military, what we need to give to NATO? 0.86

00:08:19.000 Haven't we reached the point, regardless of whether you like President Trump or not, have we reached the point where we say, you know what, Germany? 0.92

00:08:24.000 You know what, France?

00:08:26.000 You know what, insert any country that's not the United States here, especially Canada?

00:08:31.000 You've lost your say!

00:08:34.000 I'd love to see what you... I genuinely... I must have asked this question before.

00:08:34.000 Comment!

00:08:37.000 Of course.

00:08:38.000 Never.

00:08:38.000 I've never asked it.

00:08:39.000 Thank you for saving the entire world.

00:08:40.000 Well, we have to move on to more important news before we get to that.

00:08:43.000 Roman Polanski apparently came out and he dismissed the hashtag MeToo movement as mass hysteria from NBC News.

00:08:51.000 In an interview with the Polish Newsweek, the director said that the Me Too reckoning is an example of, quote, collective hysteria that occasionally grips society, leading people to react mostly out of fear.

00:09:01.000 Yes, responded to throngs of underage girls he sodomized on Quaaludes.

00:09:07.000 Quaaludes.

00:09:08.000 Roman Polanski, was Bill Cosby not available?

00:09:10.000 You couldn't get Woody Allen on the payroll?

00:09:14.000 Quaaludes. 0.97

00:09:16.000 Millennial rape victims are so spoiled. 1.00

00:09:17.000 Yes. 0.99

00:09:18.000 So spoiled.

00:09:19.000 Somebody who should just keep their head down.

00:09:20.000 Roman Polanski.

00:09:21.000 Of all people.

00:09:21.000 Gosh.

00:09:22.000 Hashtag shut up. 0.99

00:09:23.000 It's like, listen. 1.00

00:09:25.000 You managed to avoid arrest. 1.00

00:09:27.000 Shut up, take the W, and go away. 1.00

00:09:28.000 Okay? 1.00

00:09:31.000 It could get a lot worse for you.

00:09:32.000 And people report this like it's real news, like, and up next, Dylan Roof speaks out on gun control now.

00:09:36.000 Yes, exactly.

00:09:38.000 I'll be, I'll stay tuned.

00:09:39.000 A woman on Huffington Post, I don't know any other way to, it's hard for me to explain this in a way.

00:09:44.000 Yeah, this is interesting.

00:09:46.000 That provides context.

00:09:46.000 I'm gonna do my best.

00:09:47.000 So at HuffPo, this lady is now saying that theme parks fat shame guests when they don't let them enjoy all the rides.

00:09:54.000 This is a direct quote says, while safety is often the given reason that fat people are excluded, it's clear that companies are actually just keeping the general public safe from our fatness.

00:10:03.000 I refuse to take on the additional guilt of not having gotten into Harry Potter until I was 35.

00:10:07.000 Okay, first off, those listening terrestrially, I want you to think of the words that I just spoke in the order I spoke them to form that sentence. 0.99

00:10:15.000 Kill yourself! 0.98

00:10:18.000 Because it's worse than Stephen King's The Mist. 1.00

00:10:21.000 You don't want to be here for the rest of this.

00:10:22.000 That's low.

00:10:24.000 The fact that you wanted to get on the Harry Potter world?

00:10:26.000 So this girl was right, this was the person who was banned I guess from Harry Potter world for being so fat.

00:10:31.000 I've been on those rides by the way.

00:10:33.000 They're not very girthy.

00:10:33.000 Yeah.

00:10:34.000 No.

00:10:35.000 Okay.

00:10:35.000 Yeah.

00:10:36.000 No.

00:10:36.000 I can bear it.

00:10:37.000 And I was next to a girthy person there.

00:10:38.000 So I'm surprised.

00:10:39.000 If this person couldn't fit, then I must have been really bad.

00:10:42.000 But then a person at Huffington Post was writing about it, chiming in, like velociraptors communicating over their fatness.

00:10:48.000 And she wrote, I'll admit that despite the annoying J.K.

00:10:51.000 Rowling vs. Native People scandal that I doubt you've heard anything about, but I followed because I'm Native.

00:10:57.000 So this is the author at Huffington Post, right to the fat Native American victim card. 0.99

00:11:05.000 Bitch needs a smallpox tarp, okay? 1.00

00:11:07.000 I am so, I mean, I just, I cannot, I'm reading people at Huffington Post who I can't stand, write about people who I can't stand, for you. 0.99

00:11:15.000 Because you can't be bothered.

00:11:17.000 Because you don't want to read Huffington Post, and I don't blame you.

00:11:20.000 And if you think that's like somewhere deep in the article, no, she led.

00:11:23.000 She led, that was the lead.

00:11:24.000 That was the lead.

00:11:25.000 Which is funny, you don't even really think of indigenous people as fat, generally.

00:11:29.000 But this writer, HuffPo, she claims to be a part of the, I want to make sure I get this right for fear of HuffPo writers, claims to be a part of the Minicapache tribe, which actually from its native tongue translates to, one who requires the north wall to her apartment be broken down when she has a stroke.

00:11:47.000 A peaceful journey into the afterlife, young coronary.

00:11:52.000 May you be kept safe till you see the great Red Chief, Ronald Weasley.

00:11:56.000 How... How... How fat are you that you couldn't make it to the venture through Hogwarts? 0.99

00:12:06.000 You disgusting ragwell. 1.00

00:12:07.000 They didn't typically have enough food to get all that fat. 1.00

00:12:09.000 Come on! 0.61

00:12:09.000 You live in a privileged age. 0.61

00:12:11.000 Another story.

00:12:12.000 People aren't gonna like this.

00:12:12.000 A flaming rabbit has now been blamed officially for sparking Saskatchewan wildfire.

00:12:17.000 This comes from my homeland.

00:12:19.000 So, for those who don't know, a planned fire was carried out by a fire department at Beardy's in Okemese's Creek Nation.

00:12:26.000 Unfortunately, after a controlled burn was conducted and thought to be extinguished, a rabbit on fire lit another adjacent section of bush.

00:12:36.000 They should have never let that little prick volunteer his tribute.

00:12:41.000 It's in the name! 0.89

00:12:42.000 What did you expect Saskatchewan?

00:12:43.000 Do you know how pissed Smokey the Bear is?

00:12:48.000 I trusted you!

00:12:49.000 You were one of us!

00:12:51.000 You were in the commercials!

00:12:52.000 I trusted you!

00:12:53.000 I made you famous!

00:12:54.000 You were like a brother to me.

00:12:57.000 Oh, the FUD is flame-throwing rabbits. 1.00

00:13:00.000 Hey, a Texas school is now making headlines.

00:13:02.000 And we're going to get to Iran and North Korea, trust me. 1.00

00:13:04.000 But it's been a long week.

00:13:06.000 They're making headlines for their tradition of birthday spankings.

00:13:10.000 It comes from a CVS local station in Texas.

00:13:13.000 It's been a tradition for eight years at Alvord Elementary School for Principal Bridget Williams to give students, quote, birthday spankings.

00:13:21.000 Until recently when parents complained, calling it inappropriate.

00:13:25.000 Kinda.

00:13:28.000 Many parents defended Principal Williams with parents like Heather Redder saying they're not used to a small town community and that's what we are.

00:13:36.000 People that move here from the big city they don't realize they're not used to this because a lot of people have been moving from the big city into Texas for the economy.

00:13:42.000 So it's true and it's changed the culture.

00:13:44.000 The practice has since been exchanged with birthday quote light choking and putting your hand in its mouth.

00:13:49.000 So that's It's almost like you're exchanging one for something worse.

00:13:54.000 You know, Woody Allen's just like, can I go back and major in that?

00:13:56.000 Yes.

00:13:56.000 Is that a program?

00:13:58.000 And Roman Polanski is saying, stop your bitching! 0.98

00:14:01.000 Do you need a guest lecturer?

00:14:02.000 Because I'm an expert in the field.

00:14:04.000 I don't think they have guest lecturers at grade schools.

00:14:06.000 Listen.

00:14:07.000 They do have guest spankers, though, apparently. 0.95

00:14:09.000 That's right.

00:14:10.000 Would you like to spank our children? 1.00

00:14:12.000 I mean, listen, I think we're pansified. 0.94

00:14:15.000 And you and I read this going like, oh, jeez, birthday spankings?

00:14:18.000 Wow.

00:14:18.000 I thought it was a guy that was doing it.

00:14:18.000 Wow.

00:14:20.000 Alright. 0.99

00:14:22.000 Someone search that principal's office because I guarantee you there's a poster on the wall like Shawshank where you're gonna carve out a hole and find a sex dungeon in there. 1.00

00:14:30.000 In other news... 0.95

00:14:32.000 Principal Dufresne, New York mayoral candidate, Cynthia Nixon, came out and said that pot could be a form of reparations in black neighborhoods. 1.00

00:14:40.000 Yeah, that's good.

00:14:41.000 So Nixon on Saturday told Forbes, we have to make sure that communities that have been harmed and devastated by, because sometimes people say you're afraid to do the black lady voice because of political correctness, I just don't think of it, so you're welcome, have been devastated by marijuana arrests get the first shot at this industry.

00:14:57.000 It's a form of reparations.

00:15:00.000 And Reverend Al Sharpton, I kid you not, came out and tweeted, quote, let's bring this, you have it?

00:15:05.000 It's been computed, let's bring this up.

00:15:07.000 I'm for legalizing marijuana and I like Cynthia Nixon, but putting pot shops in our communities is not reparations. 0.99

00:15:17.000 What the black community needs most at this moment are teleprompters. 1.00

00:15:23.000 To build a movement of resistance, but resist we much.

00:15:28.000 We must, and we will must, about that be committed.

00:15:36.000 It's like, and boom goes the dynamite.

00:15:38.000 He's worse than I am!

00:15:41.000 Note to Cynthia Nixon, when Al Sharpton calls you out for race baiting, you're too hot. 0.99

00:15:45.000 It's too hot, you bet.

00:15:46.000 Huffpuff pass.

00:15:49.000 Put the pot away.

00:15:52.000 You gotta respect the game.

00:15:52.000 So genius.

00:15:54.000 Respect the game.

00:15:56.000 We're campaign managers.

00:15:57.000 We're Redmen.

00:16:03.000 Speaking of the chronic, Dr. Dre just lost a trademark battle with a gynecologist called Dr. D-R-A-I, Dr. Dre.

00:16:14.000 Yeah.

00:16:15.000 This comes from the BBC, the case was first... 2015 is when the case first came up, when gynecologist Dreon M. Birch tried to trademark the name Dr. Dre.

00:16:24.000 The other Dr. Dre, this sounds confusing, objected, saying the similarity could cause, quote, confusion, especially as his near-namesake wanted to sell audiobooks and seminars under the moniker.

00:16:33.000 Hey, okay, listen.

00:16:34.000 What's that, what?

00:16:35.000 Dr. Dre, you're not a real doctor, and you're also not a real Dre.

00:16:41.000 That's very true.

00:16:42.000 Dr. Dre should now be known as illegally unlicensed charlatan Andre.

00:16:49.000 Also, it turns out Snoop Dogg is not even a real dog, but surprisingly is a proctologist.

00:16:53.000 Yeah.

00:16:53.000 Aww.

00:16:54.000 That's what we call a twist.

00:16:54.000 That's a good one.

00:16:56.000 That does not look fun.

00:16:57.000 Oh, and River.

00:16:58.000 He likes to Snoop them dogs.

00:16:59.000 Yes.

00:17:00.000 Get on up in there.

00:17:02.000 Do some time in prison there, Doc?

00:17:03.000 I'm up, yeah, B-U-T-T.

00:17:05.000 So vape pens, apparently now too, are exploding in people's faces.

00:17:09.000 This is a pandemic.

00:17:11.000 Exhibit A, story from this week, this guy.

00:17:13.000 This is Idaho car salesman Andrew Hall, formerly an enthusiastic vaper.

00:17:18.000 But Andrew has vowed to quit smoking for good after his vape pen blew up in his face.

00:17:22.000 The explosion happened over the weekend.

00:17:24.000 When Andrew was enjoying a few tubes of electronic smoke while getting ready for work, Andrew wrote on Facebook that he was vaping in his bathroom.

00:17:31.000 When his vaping exploded, he posted from the hospital ICU ward.

00:17:35.000 He Facebooked and then posted from the ICU.

00:17:39.000 It was thought to be a faulty battery, though a new scientific investigation actually, this is commonly, it's been happening a lot throughout the country, really, reveals that it's actually chemical combustion that occurs when nicotine reacts with too much douche.

00:17:50.000 You drew me in there, punk.

00:17:52.000 What does it take to start a national conversation about vape culture?

00:17:57.000 I don't know.

00:17:58.000 Did you see the explosion, by the way?

00:18:00.000 For people who are listening, audio, or people who... Go look at the picture.

00:18:03.000 There's, like, the drywall is gone.

00:18:04.000 There's soot all over the wall.

00:18:06.000 What was he vaping?

00:18:07.000 An Acme firecracker?

00:18:09.000 With the Roadrunner in the bathtub with a plunger?

00:18:11.000 I'm gonna Instagram this.

00:18:14.000 It's so bad, the explosion.

00:18:17.000 Lost... His teeth were everywhere.

00:18:21.000 I kind of hate vapors anyway.

00:18:22.000 And when he was asked, too, what's the crazy thing, when he was asked if he was concerned about his teeth as much as the damage to the wall or what bothered him most, he said, oh, he wasn't so much concerned about his teeth, quote, as much as my flat-billed, semi-sideways baseball cap, which I wear indoors because I never had a dad.

00:18:40.000 Though he was no stranger to actually losing teeth due to, quote, people always punching me in the face for my flat-billed, semi-sideways baseball cap that I wear indoors because I never had a dad.

00:18:54.000 This is why fathers matter.

00:18:54.000 Always go back to daddy's.

00:18:56.000 Yes, this is why.

00:18:57.000 I want to feel bad for this guy, but I don't feel bad for him.

00:18:59.000 No, I don't feel bad for him.

00:19:00.000 I don't like vapors.

00:19:01.000 They feel like they can do it anywhere.

00:19:02.000 I'd have a person do it in a wine tasting.

00:19:04.000 I don't really care.

00:19:05.000 If they'd rather vape explosively, they'd better do it.

00:19:10.000 Decrease the surplus vaping population.

00:19:13.000 I say don't change a thing.

00:19:14.000 Speaking of things that people are going to get mad about, Elon Musk, I know you guys all, he's your darling.

00:19:14.000 Perfect product.

00:19:20.000 He's better known for Tesla, some would say, and SpaceX is now starting a candy company.

00:19:25.000 He tweeted out that he's starting a candy company and it's going to be amazing.

00:19:29.000 When people thought it was a joke, he later went on to say, quote, super serious.

00:19:32.000 So, you know, this is a topic that's been capturing the public's attention, and we wanted to talk with him about it.

00:19:40.000 I believe we have Elon Musk here.

00:19:42.000 Mr. Musk, thank you for being with us, sir.

00:19:42.000 Do we have him?

00:19:44.000 Thanks for having me, Steven.

00:19:46.000 Absolutely.

00:19:46.000 So Elon, the first question this begs, candy industry.

00:19:50.000 Why?

00:19:50.000 To disrupt the can industry is one of the few that has been stagnant for decades.

00:19:54.000 As a matter of fact, in our lifetimes, the can industry has remained almost completely unchanged, immured by the agriculture and industrial revolutions, let alone digital.

00:20:04.000 I'm having a little trouble with your accent. 0.84

00:20:06.000 Which is what I plan to disrupt with my new confection, Steven.

00:20:09.000 You know, you keep saying that.

00:20:10.000 I'm not entirely sure what that... Wait, what are you doing?

00:20:13.000 I thought about pop rock.

00:20:15.000 Delicious and renewable.

00:20:17.000 Yeah, I'm not... I don't think that's exactly going to catch on, uh, Mr. Elon.

00:20:21.000 I don't think that's going to be a wild... Which will also be complemented by our new wind turbine fields, entirely off-gummy.

00:20:28.000 See, I don't think that your target demographic, namely six-year-olds, are going to be overly concerned with... with that.

00:20:33.000 With renewable energy.

00:20:34.000 I... I... Or these ring pops!

00:20:37.000 Yeah?

00:20:38.000 Which can launch you into space.

00:20:40.000 That sounds insp... expensive.

00:20:41.000 It's very expensive.

00:20:42.000 Of course, subsidized.

00:20:44.000 Mr. Musk, what do you say to critics that this is just a move to distract from the fact that you may be removed as a chairman at Tesla soon?

00:20:44.000 Ah, well, of course.

00:20:51.000 That this could be a little bit of smoking?

00:20:52.000 See, people who change the world will always have critics.

00:20:55.000 To them, I simply say...

00:20:57.000 Come with me and you'll be in a world of pure imagination.

00:21:04.000 Take a look and help me with all your subsidization.

00:21:14.000 I have a flair for showmanship, but I truly do think we'd have more common ground on this than you would expect.

00:21:20.000 Okay, alright, I'm willing to listen.

00:21:21.000 How's, uh... If you want me to make paradise Simply open up your wallet Anything you want to, I'll do it Want me to change the world Just a few billion... Yeah, that's pretty much what I expected.

00:21:39.000 That's enough!

00:21:39.000 Elon Musk, everybody!

00:21:41.000 I don't... Yeah, I don't... No, I don't need to think about it.

00:21:43.000 Cut him off.

00:21:44.000 I don't think we need to have Elon Musk on the program anymore.

00:21:44.000 Cut him off.

00:21:48.000 It's a big name, though.

00:21:49.000 Have you noticed, by the way, I don't ever see you, Sven, and Elon in the same room.

00:21:52.000 Hmm.

00:21:54.000 I don't know.

00:21:54.000 I don't like it.

00:21:55.000 Hey Sven, update us.

00:21:56.000 So now we're going to get to the topic of the day, which I know everyone here has strong opinions on.

00:21:59.000 Of course, of course.

00:22:01.000 North Korea, Iran, this all went down this week.

00:22:04.000 And then, of course, Angela Merkel entered the fray today.

00:22:06.000 Of course, Germany. 0.90

00:22:07.000 So it's this amalgamation of foreign policy, clustered F, the likes of which we haven't seen.

00:22:12.000 Sven, update us here.

00:22:13.000 What's happened here this last week with North Korea and Iran?

00:22:16.000 Because I know you've got the overlay.

00:22:17.000 Yeah, well this last week what basically happened is that we, that the United States, I shouldn't say we, because I'm... You're part of the problem, sir!

00:22:26.000 Okay, we'll allow it.

00:22:28.000 That Mike Pompeo got the hostages back from North Korea, and as well... President Trump pulled out of the Iran deal.

00:22:37.000 Exactly, we pulled out of that deal, and there's a meeting with Kim Jong-un in Singapore, June 12th.

00:22:41.000 So it was going really well until President Trump said that he treated those three really well. 0.99

00:22:44.000 Damn it! 0.99

00:22:46.000 Exactly. 0.99

00:22:47.000 He had like the epic win and you had to kind of ruin it a little bit.

00:22:50.000 But you've got to separate the fact, yeah exactly, take the W and walk, President Trump. 0.82

00:22:53.000 You've got to separate the fact that he says some dumb things versus our position in the globe right now.

00:22:58.000 I hear this all the time, people saying like, oh the United States is more respected internationally.

00:23:02.000 I don't really know if that's the case.

00:23:04.000 And we certainly weren't respecting the sense of being feared or respected by people like Kim Jong-Un.

00:23:04.000 No.

00:23:08.000 Sorry, they're saying we're respected less internationally.

00:23:10.000 They were saying we're respected more internationally with Barack Obama.

00:23:12.000 I want to make sure I get that right.

00:23:14.000 And it was absolutely the opposite.

00:23:14.000 The tweets will come.

00:23:14.000 No, no, no.

00:23:16.000 Just being rolled by the rest of the world doesn't mean that you're being respected by them, right?

00:23:19.000 You need somebody in the office who can wield the power a little bit.

00:23:22.000 Well, I think they attributed it purely to the fact that he went on to What, a year's long apology tour?

00:23:26.000 Oh, much longer than that.

00:23:27.000 All the nations?

00:23:27.000 Yeah, much longer than that.

00:23:28.000 It was an eight-year apology tour.

00:23:30.000 He was saying that we want to be like those guys.

00:23:31.000 We don't want to be like those guys!

00:23:32.000 Sorry!

00:23:32.000 We're better!

00:23:33.000 And then they did a bowing encore.

00:23:36.000 So, for example, North Korea.

00:23:37.000 Obama tried for years to come up with a way to stop their nuclear program.

00:23:40.000 Then he basically handed 1.7 billion dollars to Iran for no apparent reason.

00:23:40.000 He failed.

00:23:46.000 The Israeli spies, finding out that they continued, surprised their nuclear program. 0.80

00:23:49.000 So, Donald Trump pulled out of the Iran nuclear deal, okay?

00:23:54.000 Which, of course, all the left, they were praising it.

00:23:56.000 They thought that this was a way to try and avoid some kind of a conflict.

00:23:58.000 So, when the news broke that President Donald Trump... You can confirm this is authentic, right Sven Computer?

00:24:04.000 Yes, this is from memory TV.

00:24:06.000 Burning an American flag here, just so you know. 0.93

00:24:09.000 Death to America! 1.00

00:24:10.000 Death to America! 0.98

00:24:11.000 And they're about to get burned, which always happens. 0.62

00:24:13.000 This is how they reacted.

00:24:30.000 First off, I couldn't put a character like that in one of our sketches for fear of being

00:24:33.000 protested due to negative stereotypes.

00:24:36.000 Secondly, that is absolutely a fire hazard at bare minimum.

00:24:39.000 Thirdly, that deal was the gateway to peace.

00:24:41.000 Thank God there weren't any rabbits lying around.

00:24:47.000 The gateway to peace.

00:24:48.000 The gateway to peace, this deal.

00:24:49.000 Listen, this is, that's how you know they're the Eddie Haskells of the world.

00:24:52.000 They had no intention of ever honoring the deal.

00:24:55.000 They had no intention of ever respecting.

00:24:57.000 They never had respect for the United States or the deal.

00:24:59.000 They were lying to you, taking what they could get.

00:25:01.000 It's not like someone all of a sudden, right, has a flash of genius moment.

00:25:04.000 Oh, you know what?

00:25:05.000 I want to work with the New Orleans.

00:25:06.000 It seems like America isn't the burden!

00:25:08.000 Burn the flag! 0.92

00:25:09.000 It doesn't happen overnight. 1.00

00:25:10.000 You were always a dick. 0.99

00:25:11.000 Look, not to throw Sven Computer under the bus again, but we made a similar kind of deal prior to World War II with another German. 0.99

00:25:18.000 And that stings.

00:25:18.000 That's true.

00:25:20.000 Sorry, Sven slash Musk.

00:25:20.000 Didn't work.

00:25:21.000 Now, President Trump is being blasted, of course, for being crazy and reckless. 1.00

00:25:26.000 Maybe you need to be a little bit crazy. 0.99

00:25:29.000 Maybe you'd be crazier than the other guy in some of these countries. 0.99

00:25:31.000 Now, President Trump may not be a, let's even give the argument to people who say, may not be a great man, may not be a good guy personally, but how in the hell, I've heard people calling him a bully now, how in the hell can you paint a guy as a bully who's pushing around the dictators who starve and torture their citizens and perform forceful abortions? 0.97

00:25:51.000 Call him at the very least an anti-hero.

00:25:55.000 Deadpool was great.

00:25:57.000 Let's see the version with Trump. 0.97

00:25:59.000 You lose the moral high ground when you commit forceful abortions and starve your own people and convince them that you can control their mind and when you throw gays off rooftops and when you have death for apostasy. 0.96

00:26:10.000 You don't get to call somebody else a bully.

00:26:11.000 And this is something that's very new, by the way.

00:26:12.000 For people, they look back and they see, I just forgot his name, Gary Oldman's performance.

00:26:17.000 Winston Churchill.

00:26:19.000 First off, he was not elected.

00:26:20.000 A big reason. 1.00

00:26:20.000 He was a prick. 1.00

00:26:21.000 I know there are other geopolitical reasons. 0.99

00:26:23.000 Everyone hated him.

00:26:23.000 People forget that.

00:26:25.000 But do you think Churchill was a bully to Hitler?

00:26:28.000 You think he was great Santini-ing, throwing little Adolf to basketball?

00:26:32.000 No, I'm not crying.

00:26:32.000 Stop!

00:26:34.000 I promise I'll clean my eyes.

00:26:38.000 My dear father, when you come home, you can't stop the drinking.

00:26:42.000 Honestly, it doesn't matter if you're more effective, you cannot be the bully.

00:26:47.000 And this is the problem, the left just hates success.

00:26:49.000 The left hates success.

00:26:50.000 They assume the underdog has the moral high ground.

00:26:52.000 Whether it's Palestine, whether it's a look at that voice crack.

00:26:55.000 Palestine!

00:26:56.000 Who wants to play with a Charlie in the box? 1.00

00:26:59.000 Call yourself Jack, dumbass. 1.00

00:27:02.000 We'll talk in another show about the squirt gun and only shot jelly. 1.00

00:27:05.000 I can solve that problem for you.

00:27:07.000 Merkel, just came out to give you proof, just complained that Germany can't be under the United States umbrella anymore.

00:27:13.000 She said, it is no longer such that the United States simply protects us, but Europe must take its destiny in its own hands.

00:27:18.000 That's the task of the future.

00:27:21.000 First off, German leader telling Europe what it should do.

00:27:24.000 I understand that it could throw up some red flags.

00:27:27.000 But she's making her point for...

00:27:27.000 Just go with it.

00:27:29.000 Us.

00:27:30.000 When people talk about President Donald Trump as a bully, and we're talking about the United States, guess what?

00:27:35.000 There is no Germany-Iran deal.

00:27:37.000 There is no Ireland-Iran deal.

00:27:39.000 We are the only country that people are talking about when they're talking about the Iran deal.

00:27:43.000 Why?

00:27:44.000 Because we keep the free world safe, and we keep the rest of the world in check.

00:27:50.000 We only care what Donald Trump has to say about North Korea. 0.98

00:27:53.000 No one gives a rat's ass what Angela Merkel has to say about North Korea. 0.99

00:27:56.000 So you know what? 0.99

00:27:56.000 I'm tired of caring what anyone else thinks about how we handle Kim Jong-un. 0.99

00:28:01.000 The only person who could possibly be intimidated by Kim Jong-un would maybe Justin Trudeau.

00:28:04.000 If you were to take the average, just the national average male, line up a hundred, none of them would be intimidated by Kim Jong-un.

00:28:13.000 Trudeau is a miracle!

00:28:17.000 When you want to know, countries have been defying the 2% NATO minimum for years.

00:28:23.000 They've been ignoring it.

00:28:23.000 The U.S.

00:28:24.000 picks up the slack.

00:28:25.000 They pay the bill for national defense.

00:28:27.000 We've been paying for all these cuts, and this is what bothers me.

00:28:30.000 When you look at the Iran deal in North Korea, three hostages gone.

00:28:33.000 Look at Iran burning the American flag.

00:28:34.000 And then, next week, when we forget about this, Germany's going to talk about how they provide free health care, refugee asylum, and free college.

00:28:40.000 Oh yeah?

00:28:41.000 What's your Navy?

00:28:42.000 It's a tugboat with an Uzi replica?

00:28:43.000 We're hoping for a Boston Whaler!

00:28:45.000 We're hoping for a Boston Veiler! 1.00

00:28:47.000 You're welcome, Germany.

00:28:47.000 Thank you!

00:28:49.000 And by the way, you were making this point in the pitch meeting.

00:28:51.000 Yes, B.B., but what you have to understand is that what we are to you is France to us, B.B.

00:28:57.000 Yes, exactly.

00:28:59.000 Exactly.

00:29:00.000 Or France to anyone.

00:29:02.000 Greece to anyone.

00:29:03.000 That's true.

00:29:04.000 Just about anyone these days.

00:29:06.000 I'm getting a little tired of providing peace for the rest of the world and then being vilified for it.

00:29:10.000 And then paying for it as well.

00:29:12.000 How many countries is it now?

00:29:13.000 What, Japan?

00:29:13.000 As you are economically to France, Germany, think of that national security.

00:29:16.000 That's you to us.

00:29:17.000 It's the same situation.

00:29:18.000 Yeah.

00:29:19.000 I'm getting a little tired of providing peace for the rest of the world and then being vilified

00:29:23.000 for it.

00:29:24.000 Exactly.

00:29:25.000 And then paying for it as well.

00:29:26.000 How many countries is it now?

00:29:27.000 What's Japan?

00:29:28.000 Don't we provide all the defense for Japan?

00:29:30.000 We provide all the defense for Japan.

00:29:31.000 Basically everybody.

00:29:32.000 I mean, there was a study Sven was talking about that Russia could take over a significant swath.

00:29:36.000 Yeah, I think it was a 2016 study.

00:29:37.000 It was conducted by NATO and it came out that they would need 60 hours to take the Balticum.

00:29:44.000 Giant swath.

00:29:45.000 That's like an extended weekend.

00:29:46.000 60 hours.

00:29:47.000 By the way, it would take significantly less time for the United States to take Canada.

00:29:51.000 80% of their population within 100 miles of the U.S.

00:29:53.000 border, they have 10% of the population of the United States.

00:29:55.000 You know, we would just walk up to that border and say, I mean, do you really want to do this?

00:29:59.000 No, no, just come on in.

00:30:00.000 Come on, yeah.

00:30:02.000 Do you have true doubt?

00:30:03.000 America's an imperialist... I'm okay with a little imperialism now.

00:30:07.000 How about either we be an imperialist nation, or no, just have nothing to do... we don't protect any other countries at that point.

00:30:14.000 By the way, people say, isn't that a bit reductive?

00:30:15.000 What's wrong with being reductive when we're dealing with people, when we're dealing with countries who, without nuclear weapons, commit gross violations of human rights?

00:30:25.000 Killing Christians, Jews, Where's the middle ground? 1.00

00:30:29.000 What's wrong with being reductive, saying they shouldn't be allowed to have nukes, and we won't do co- I'm not okay with these countries having non-safety scissors. 0.99

00:30:41.000 Much less any red buttons.

00:30:42.000 Israel shot down Iran's missiles.

00:30:42.000 No.

00:30:44.000 No casualties.

00:30:45.000 Everyone gets mad at them.

00:30:46.000 It's proof the left just absolutely despises success.

00:30:49.000 Because they truly believe that if you are an underdog, you automatically have the moral high ground.

00:30:54.000 How in the world could you be upset otherwise?

00:30:57.000 We're not bombing Iran.

00:30:59.000 We're just not doing business with them.

00:31:04.000 That would be like getting mad that you showed up for a Tupperware party, you find out that the lady is a Nazi who just gassed a bunch of Jews and threw some gates off a rooftop and said, you know what?

00:31:04.000 Evil.

00:31:13.000 I'm not buying a three-piece set. 1.00

00:31:15.000 And everyone's going, you're a dick. 1.00

00:31:18.000 We're just not going to do this. 1.00

00:31:19.000 It's tough for where our parties are going to.

00:31:21.000 We're just going to put them in the corner.

00:31:23.000 I am so tired of this.

00:31:25.000 It's constant.

00:31:26.000 It's constant.

00:31:27.000 Iran was a moderate Muslim country in the 70s.

00:31:29.000 Then we had Turkey.

00:31:31.000 We had Egypt. 0.67

00:31:31.000 Yeah, that worked out like a charm. 0.67

00:31:32.000 Then it was Morocco, until all of a sudden their Olympians refused to shake hands with the Jews at the Olympics. 0.96

00:31:38.000 And then we had Indonesia, Malaysia, record church burnings.

00:31:41.000 Bye.

00:31:42.000 We're not bombing them.

00:31:43.000 We're just saying we're not going to do business with you.

00:31:45.000 Think about Israel.

00:31:46.000 We talk about this with Israel.

00:31:47.000 The left gets so furious at Israel when you talk about how it really effectively has the current map that it has today.

00:31:53.000 People say, look at all the land they gained. 0.95

00:31:55.000 Syria, Egypt, Jordan said let's wipe off Jews from the face of the map. 0.99

00:32:00.000 I am absolutely amazed. 0.91

00:32:02.000 To me, okay, you don't need to be an imperialist nation, right, just going out taking over stuff because it's 2018.

00:32:07.000 But certainly in a defensive war, people want to wipe you out and you win.

00:32:11.000 You take their stuff and you move on down the trail.

00:32:15.000 North Korea, you should be grateful that we aren't simply calling you the 51st state.

00:32:21.000 Iran, what are you going to do?

00:32:23.000 What are you going to do if we decide that we don't want you anymore?

00:32:26.000 You know what, I'm okay with it.

00:32:27.000 I'm at that point where if I read tomorrow like, oh, the United States just dropped a mushroom cloud over Iran, but you know what, that's fine. 1.00

00:32:34.000 70% of them are okay with death for apostasy.

00:32:36.000 Yeah, but what about the 30%?

00:32:37.000 They shouldn't have let it get to 70!

00:32:39.000 They shouldn't have let it get to 70!

00:32:41.000 You let it get to a majority or even a plurality, guess what?

00:32:45.000 You don't get to sit at the adults' table.

00:32:47.000 You have to go sit at the kids' table.

00:32:48.000 Doesn't mean we're gonna kill all of you, but we're certainly not gonna do commerce with you, or treat you as equals, or try and appease you for peace. 1.00

00:32:55.000 You're burning the flag, I can't, burning the American flag, anti-freedom, anti-anything-that-isn't-your-sick-twisted-demented-Muslim-way-of-life-pieces-of-shit. 1.00

00:33:09.000 There's a link, we'll have Ben Shapiro after this. 1.00

00:34:53.000 This day's long enough.

00:34:55.000 What's so rough with your day?

00:34:57.000 You look like you've done a lot of Percocet.

00:34:59.000 Like, there's a glass in your eyes.

00:35:00.000 Yeah, it's just, it's been a long day, man.

00:35:02.000 It's just been a long day.

00:35:03.000 I can't even talk about some of this stuff on the air.

00:35:05.000 That was probably the thing I probably shouldn't have said on the air.

00:35:05.000 I mean, I killed a guy.

00:35:08.000 Yeah, for a smart guy, you let that one slip pretty quickly.

00:35:13.000 This is why my lawyer says I shouldn't talk to the cops, but now that it's already out there.

00:35:18.000 Like President Trump, I will go talk to Robert Mueller just as much as I please.

00:35:21.000 Thank you very much.

00:35:23.000 So is it just personal stuff, or is it stuff that's going on in the news that has you so pissed off?

00:35:26.000 Oh no, the news is fine.

00:35:28.000 I mean, honestly, the news is better than fine.

00:35:30.000 I like that President Trump is doing excellent things on the foreign policy front, which is great.

00:35:35.000 He has this interesting view of the world, President Trump, where everybody is a winner or a loser, and that doesn't work well in economics because there can be mutual winners when you and I are trading products and services, but it does work really well in foreign policy, it turns out, because it turns out that if Iran loses, everybody wins.

00:35:50.000 Yes.

00:35:53.000 I just got done saying that right before this.

00:35:55.000 People will often say, well that's reductive.

00:35:59.000 What's wrong with being reductive with a nation that commits gross violations of human rights when they don't have a nuclear arsenal?

00:36:05.000 There is no middle ground.

00:36:06.000 Again, this is the part that's hilarious to me.

00:36:08.000 Everybody's like, well, you know that Iran nuclear deal was preventing them from getting a nuclear weapon, and those moderates, they were really being emboldened by the nuclear deal.

00:36:14.000 It's like, well, you know what?

00:36:15.000 If they want to be moderate, you know what they could do?

00:36:17.000 They could just give up their nuclear weapons.

00:36:18.000 went without a deal, and just stopped funding terrorism.

00:36:21.000 In fact, I did an entire piece on this yesterday at my website, Daily Wire, where we talked specifically

00:36:27.000 about the, I'm sorry about that, but you know, just because we're wildly more successful

00:36:32.000 than anything else out there.

00:36:33.000 This is absolutely true, there's no doubt about it, because you employ slave labor.

00:36:37.000 It's amazing what you can do with children at computers in Bangladesh.

00:36:40.000 Well, I mean, you're wondering why I had a bad day, Our contract just got tossed in the garbage.

00:36:45.000 But in any case, one of the things I was saying is that there are only a couple of nations in human history that have had nuclear weapons or were developing nuclear weapons and gave them up.

00:36:53.000 One was in 1993, South Africa gave up their nukes.

00:36:56.000 And the other was in 2003, Gaddafi gave up his incipient nuclear program.

00:37:00.000 Both of them did so as a show of good faith to the world.

00:37:02.000 It wasn't that we came along and said, here's a bunch of money.

00:37:05.000 Now will you give up their nukes? 1.00

00:37:06.000 Because that would be stupid. 0.99

00:37:07.000 Then they would just say, well, I'll keep the money and develop my nukes. 0.99

00:37:10.000 Instead, it was a bunch of regimes attempting to moderate themselves first, and then as a symptom of that moderation, they were saying, here's our nukes. 1.00

00:37:16.000 So, trying to say that Iran was going to moderate because we gave them a bunch of cash is stupid. 0.97

00:37:20.000 If they wanted to moderate and have a bunch of cash, they could do so without any agreement at all. 0.99

00:37:24.000 Right.

00:37:24.000 You know, a comparison would be a plea bargain, if you're talking about South Africa, if you're talking about Gaddafi, versus sort of Kramer versus Kramer, Dustin Hoffman with the kid in the ice cream tub just saying, don't you do it!

00:37:33.000 Don't you do it!

00:37:35.000 That's the big difference.

00:37:36.000 There is a big difference.

00:37:37.000 One occurred before, and one occurred after.

00:37:39.000 And here's the thing, like I just talked about.

00:37:40.000 We're not nuking them.

00:37:41.000 We're not bombing them.

00:37:42.000 We're just not going to do business with them.

00:37:45.000 We're just going to isolate them.

00:37:47.000 I mean, even liberal parents just make their kid have a timeout or put them in the corner.

00:37:50.000 We're not even spanking them! 1.00

00:37:52.000 And let's be real about this.

00:37:53.000 It is providing Israel the option to spank them, which I think is a good option. 1.00

00:37:56.000 It's providing this newfound alliance of Israel, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, UAE, the capacity to actually fight back against Iranian aggression.

00:38:04.000 Because what the Iran deal really did mostly was it said to any of those nations, if you do anything against Iran, you're in breach of this agreement.

00:38:10.000 You've destroyed world peace.

00:38:12.000 By Trump saying, listen, this agreement's no longer here, then it becomes very clear who are the violators of the Peace in the Middle East.

00:38:18.000 And that was obvious for anybody who had half a brain anyway, since Iran has taken over Syria. 0.93

00:38:22.000 They've now taken over Lebanon. 0.96

00:38:23.000 They've taken over most of Iraq. 0.95

00:38:25.000 They've taken over Yemen. 0.73

00:38:27.000 They've taken over the Gaza Strip, too.

00:38:29.000 I mean, for the amount of funding they're giving to Hamas.

00:38:32.000 Why was this controversial in the first place?

00:38:34.000 I will say, to Obama's credit, It was Barack Obama who created the alliance of Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan, Israel, and the UAE.

00:38:40.000 He did so completely unintentionally, just like every other good thing he did unintentionally. 0.99

00:38:44.000 But this was mostly Obama's doing, because by kissing Iran's ass, he put everybody else in a position where they had to suddenly ally with each other in order to face down Iran. 0.98

00:38:51.000 Yeah, but you know that's very temporary, and if we look back and something happens, no one's going to blame the alliance that you just mentioned. 0.99

00:38:56.000 They're just going to blame the Jews.

00:38:58.000 Yep.

00:38:58.000 I mean, that's just the way it goes.

00:39:01.000 You're wondering why I'm having a bad day every day is to blame the Jew day. 1.00

00:39:04.000 That's just the way it goes around here.

00:39:05.000 We were just talking about that when you're talking about, you're talking about, uh, obviously the, uh, listen, Israel gave up land in defensive wars.

00:39:13.000 This is where people talk about it like, I'm not paid by the Jews.

00:39:16.000 I would take the money and I would talk about big Jew money. 0.94

00:39:19.000 But when you talk about Syria, Jordan, Egypt, and they said, we're going to wipe them off for being Jews. 0.71

00:39:23.000 I'm amazed that you didn't just take all their stuff.

00:39:25.000 But my point is, in the realm of history, to look back and listen, let's be honest.

00:39:29.000 Do we really think that Saudi Arabia and Israel are going to be allies for a long time?

00:39:32.000 No, I think Jews could be left holding the bag long term, which is always what worries me with these temporary alliances. 0.87

00:39:37.000 They never last with Islamic countries. 1.00

00:39:40.000 I mean, I think that's true, but I also think that this is the best position Israel has been in in its entire history, insofar as there are now a bunch of states that are suddenly saying, you're our allies, you're not our enemies.

00:39:49.000 I mean, the Saudi Arabian leader, Mohammed bin Sultan, literally said to the Palestinian leadership, take the deal that's on the table or sit down and shut up.

00:39:55.000 And that's an amazing, amazing thing.

00:39:58.000 And it also demonstrates, by the way, how a lot of these countries were using the Palestinians as pawns for so long.

00:40:02.000 Because they obviously don't care about the stuff enough to actually abide by their previous principles.

00:40:08.000 It was always a ruse. 0.96

00:40:08.000 It was always, we're going to use this as a club against the Jews. 0.96

00:40:11.000 Well, now it turns out we need to use the Jews as a club against the Iranians. 1.00

00:40:14.000 So that goes immediately by the wayside. 0.51

00:40:15.000 Well, that's my point.

00:40:16.000 Pragmatically, they're in the best place that they've been in a while.

00:40:18.000 But doesn't it make you a little bit leery just to trust someone with the name Muhammad?

00:40:24.000 Well, no?

00:40:25.000 No?

00:40:25.000 Not necessarily?

00:40:27.000 He's not being honest.

00:40:28.000 This is because he's angry.

00:40:30.000 No?

00:40:31.000 Yes, absolutely.

00:40:32.000 How many Jewish Israelis are named Mohammed?

00:40:35.000 Probably not many.

00:40:37.000 That's a weird question.

00:40:38.000 I'm sure not a lot of Jewish Israelis named Jesus either.

00:40:40.000 This is true.

00:40:41.000 No, I'm just saying, I mean, I'm just saying they're in a good place right now.

00:40:44.000 I'm just, I'm always worried because it's very temperamental.

00:40:47.000 But for the Jews, now is good. 1.00

00:40:49.000 Yes.

00:40:50.000 Okay.

00:40:50.000 If we could have just taken now, like throughout human history, that would have been fine.

00:40:54.000 Because it turns out that now is usually us getting killed.

00:40:54.000 Yes.

00:40:56.000 So, as long as we're not being killed.

00:40:58.000 And they're a bunch of, like, temporary alliances.

00:41:00.000 Turns out, better than no alliances at all.

00:41:02.000 Exactly.

00:41:02.000 Friends!

00:41:03.000 Better than people attempting to kill you.

00:41:04.000 So I'll take it, you know?

00:41:05.000 It's not exactly next stop latke stands across the Middle East, but, you know, you'll take it.

00:41:09.000 You take the W at this point.

00:41:10.000 That's today's lesson.

00:41:11.000 Take the W when you can take it.

00:41:14.000 You know, it's funny that you mention this, good versus bad, and kind of on the world stage.

00:41:17.000 That being said, on economics, let's kind of get rid of the tariffs and stuff, which we agree on.

00:41:21.000 The tax cut, though, is remarkably popular.

00:41:24.000 So when you combine that with this, with foreign policy, and Iran just did us a favor by burning the American flag in their government there after the deal was ripped up.

00:41:30.000 It's like, oh, OK, maybe you were Eddie Haskell-ing it, and you never, this wasn't exactly the portal to peace.

00:41:36.000 Do you think this spells potentially re-election for Donald Trump?

00:41:39.000 Tax cuts popular, you know, foreign policy.

00:41:41.000 If it were just policy, then the answer would be clearly yes, right?

00:41:44.000 I mean, 57% of Americans now say that the country is moving in the right direction.

00:41:47.000 It's almost impossible to see a situation where somebody does not win re-election under those circumstances.

00:41:52.000 The economy continues to boom.

00:41:54.000 The tax cuts are very popular.

00:41:55.000 The regulatory cuts are having a solid impact on businesses.

00:41:59.000 He's seeing success in his North Korean negotiations so far.

00:42:02.000 He's seeing his success in creating this Saudi-Egyptian-Israeli-Jordanian alliance.

00:42:07.000 All of this stuff is really, really good.

00:42:09.000 And so on policy, it's very hard to argue with the results that President Trump's administration has been getting.

00:42:14.000 The real question is going to be every election is between two people.

00:42:17.000 And unfortunately, Donald Trump still is the guy, right?

00:42:21.000 And so the question is going to be when it comes to 2020, and you see a lot of Donald Trump being Donald Trump, are people inured to it, which could actually help him, or are people going to be, you know, shocked all anew when it turns out that there's somebody on the other side who is not the worst candidate in American history?

00:42:35.000 Like, I think that there's a solid chance Democrats will pick somebody garbagey for 2020 because there are just so many candidates for them to choose from.

00:42:40.000 That is going to be my follow-up question.

00:42:41.000 Who do you think is the likely picker if you narrow it down to a field of three to five?

00:42:46.000 If you were to say three to five, I would probably say Kamala Harris for the intersectionality of it all.

00:42:52.000 Joe Biden for the, you know, Obama and the stasis and back to normalcy campaign, and maybe Elizabeth Warren from the Bernie wing, unless Bernie runs again, which would be good.

00:43:05.000 I mean, at this point, there are no upper age limits to presidency of the United States.

00:43:09.000 I mean, the skeletons from Holy Grail are actually filings for Super PAC approval.

00:43:16.000 Yes, yes.

00:43:16.000 I love how Matt Damon is no longer bitching about the actuary tables if Bernie Sanders is going to run again.

00:43:21.000 All of a sudden, it's all quiet on the Damon front.

00:43:24.000 Okay, we have an unbelievable show.

00:43:26.000 Of course, we just had Elon Musk.

00:43:27.000 We have Ryan Baer.

00:43:28.000 We have Owen Benjamin.

00:43:28.000 We have Blair White.

00:43:29.000 You just mentioned North Korea.

00:43:29.000 Let me ask you this.

00:43:32.000 That's also a big plus this week.

00:43:34.000 A little disappointed when President Trump afterwards said he was great to these three people.

00:43:34.000 Like I said, big strides.

00:43:38.000 It's like, oh, just take the ball and leave.

00:43:41.000 But it is a victory.

00:43:43.000 Listen, I mean, it seems like right now.

00:43:44.000 Yeah, no question.

00:43:45.000 I mean, there's no question that's a victory. 0.99

00:43:47.000 It is to the point where Trump says that sort of stuff where, like, our capacity for outrage is now gone because, like, okay, so Trump said something real dumb. 0.99

00:43:55.000 Shocker. 0.97

00:43:56.000 Like, wow, he said they were treated real nice by North Korea.

00:43:58.000 Like, that's because he says that kind of stuff.

00:44:00.000 I'm sure that everything is magnificent, everything is the best, everything is really nice.

00:44:03.000 Okay, we get it.

00:44:03.000 Like, but here's the bottom line.

00:44:05.000 Those three guys are standing on the tarmac with Trump, and Trump made that happen, and Obama did not make that happen.

00:44:09.000 So that is a point in Trump's favor.

00:44:12.000 Now, the real question is going to be what happens in June.

00:44:14.000 Right.

00:44:14.000 So there are a couple of possibilities with what's going to happen in June.

00:44:18.000 Is this going to be a situation where Trump kind of bends over backward because he feels like he's been given some goodies by the North Koreans?

00:44:23.000 Or is this a situation where they're looking to come to the table not because they love President Trump or are scared by President Trump, but because their nuclear mountain just imploded in North Korea? 0.53

00:44:31.000 The fact is that they had a testing site and that site completely degraded.

00:44:35.000 It completely fell apart.

00:44:36.000 And immediately they started talking with South Koreans.

00:44:38.000 So it's quite possible that Trump could have just become like the luckiest president ever.

00:44:41.000 Right.

00:44:42.000 That suddenly their nuclear program just unilaterally combusted.

00:44:45.000 It just randomly exploded.

00:44:47.000 And Trump's like, wow, look what I did.

00:44:49.000 Yes.

00:44:49.000 And that's fine with me.

00:44:50.000 I mean, sure, good. 0.99

00:44:51.000 He's like a Chauncey Gardner who just walked into the right place at the right time in North Korea as Dom DeLuise just running through as the set from Blazing Saddles comes down like, oh, damn! 0.97

00:45:00.000 Yeah, we'll talk now. 0.96

00:45:02.000 Which is why it's so remarkable to me that Justin Trudeau got stared down by this guy.

00:45:06.000 You could take a sample size of any country You know what?

00:45:11.000 I'll even throw Saudi Arabia into the mix.

00:45:13.000 And you would not find a man intimidated by Kim Jong-un.

00:45:16.000 Justin Trudeau is a marvel, because he, for some reason, played ball.

00:45:20.000 That dude is intimidated by a table, like a butter knife.

00:45:24.000 I mean, really, Justin Trudeau has about as much intimidation factor as Lena Dunham clothed.

00:45:32.000 There's not a lot of intimidation factor there.

00:45:34.000 Let me ask you this, because I know you're not a big fan of Trump personality-wise, but you have to be on a deserted island, okay?

00:45:40.000 President Donald Trump or Prime Minister Justin Trudeau?

00:45:44.000 On a desert island?

00:45:45.000 Yeah.

00:45:45.000 Well, I mean, oh, that's... You thought you were having a rough day.

00:45:51.000 Yeah, the only reason I'd say Trudeau is because you could take all of his stuff and leave him to die. 1.00

00:45:57.000 Make him your coconut, bitch. 1.00

00:45:59.000 Right, exactly. 1.00

00:46:00.000 If it's just the two of us and it's up to survival, I feel like Trump's big, but he's, I think, a scrappy fighter.

00:46:06.000 He's got about 100 pounds on me and a lot of interior rage.

00:46:10.000 I doubt my own capacity against President Trump stuck on a desert island.

00:46:15.000 Do not get between that man and what he wants.

00:46:17.000 Justin Trudeau, however, as you just say, was stared down by Kim Jong-un.

00:46:20.000 Yeah, I feel I have a slightly better shot with, like, I could appeal to his feminine side or some such.

00:46:25.000 Yes, exactly.

00:46:26.000 Or you could challenge him to a pull-up contest, and then when he loses, just force him to be your indentured servant.

00:46:32.000 I know, he's ripped.

00:46:33.000 I mean, he's one of these guys. 0.96

00:46:34.000 No, he's skinny fat.

00:46:35.000 He has the body of a pregnant woman without the bump. 0.97

00:46:38.000 It is absolutely a shame.

00:46:40.000 I forgot, I was talking to Mr. Atlas over here, Steven Crowder.

00:46:44.000 Yes, Charles Atlas.

00:46:45.000 That's because someone kicked sand in my face, and then I did the isometrics that I bought in the back of a comic book.

00:46:49.000 But you're a pull-up machine, a CrossFit pull-up machine, right?

00:46:52.000 Didn't you say you could do something like 30, 40?

00:46:53.000 That's exactly right.

00:46:54.000 And I don't bench, just CrossFit.

00:46:56.000 30, 40 pull-ups?

00:46:57.000 Yeah, I can knock out about 40 pull-ups in a row.

00:47:00.000 Kip-ups. 0.70

00:47:00.000 But that's still impressive. 0.70

00:47:01.000 That's still very impressive.

00:47:03.000 How dare you?

00:47:04.000 How dare you, sir?

00:47:05.000 It's a different dynamic.

00:47:07.000 But listen, it is absolutely very impressive.

00:47:10.000 And I just always thought about that because a lot of people don't know that about you.

00:47:12.000 Alright, people can of course watch The Ben Shapiro Show at the Daily Wire.

00:47:15.000 It won't show through your suit, Ben.

00:47:17.000 For a smart guy, you make some bad choices.

00:47:19.000 That's why I'm doing it.

00:47:21.000 It's unverifiable, my friend.

00:47:23.000 You think I hadn't thought that through?

00:47:24.000 Yes!

00:47:26.000 How many markets are you syndicated to now?

00:47:28.000 On radio?

00:47:29.000 Yeah, so the podcast is now syndicated to, I believe, 40 plus markets.

00:47:33.000 And we are in five or six of the top ten.

00:47:35.000 So that's really exciting.

00:47:36.000 Absolutely.

00:47:37.000 And it's fantastic.

00:47:38.000 And he's part of the Westwood One podcast network, which, you know, our free show on Thursdays.

00:47:41.000 We're with them now, too.

00:47:42.000 So see some new sponsors pretty soon.

00:47:44.000 Mr. Ben Shapiro, at Ben Shapiro.

00:47:46.000 Thanks so much for being here.

00:47:46.000 I'm sorry you were having a bad day.

00:47:48.000 Hopefully we made it a little bit worse.

00:47:49.000 Oh, you made me feel so much better, Steven.

00:47:51.000 Who booked this thing?

00:47:52.000 Yes, Blair White after this.

00:47:54.000 Oh, it's about that time on the show where Home and Boy should do the library for mug

00:48:04.000 club.

00:48:05.000 Oh.

00:48:06.000 But he's too lazy.

00:48:07.000 I betcha he's just gonna exploit old Hopper.

00:48:09.000 A lot of withcrudit.com says Mug Club is only $99 for people who are 69 if they're students, veterans, or active military.

00:48:16.000 And I betcha if they knew that it's used to fix my leg and buy me all the cheeses... ...that they wouldn't have any problem joining.

00:48:23.000 But maybe some people know and they don't care.

00:48:26.000 I'm so tired of people who don't care and don't join at louderwolfcrowder.com flash mob club.

00:48:32.000 I'm so tired.

00:48:35.000 What's going on? 0.98

00:48:37.000 Horse s***. 0.98

00:48:38.000 Thank you, Mr. Shapiro. 0.84

00:48:56.000 Always glad to have our next guest.

00:48:58.000 I don't know that we've spoken since, well, you can follow on the Twitter, Ms.

00:49:04.000 Blair White.

00:49:04.000 Ms.

00:49:05.000 Blair White.

00:49:05.000 She doesn't have Ms.

00:49:07.000 Ms.

00:49:08.000 Blair White.

00:49:09.000 I know sometimes people get that wrong.

00:49:10.000 And of course, Ms.

00:49:12.000 Blair White on the Instagram.

00:49:13.000 Blair, have you been on the show since we were last on Rogan kind of talking about you and my mom and all that?

00:49:20.000 I don't think so.

00:49:21.000 I think the last time I saw you was the Christmas special, and then we were gonna do something else for the Oscars, but my scheduling was messed up, but it's been a minute, yeah.

00:49:28.000 Yes, this is true.

00:49:29.000 Yes, we were talking about how my mother was not super familiar with the transgender community, and with the language barrier, she was incredibly confused.

00:49:39.000 Really?

00:49:39.000 I would have never known.

00:49:40.000 But she was, miscommunications abound.

00:49:43.000 And- I would have never known, she was so nice.

00:49:46.000 She is an absolute sweetheart.

00:49:47.000 Now, Blair, we don't have a ton of time because we got this, we got Elon Musk

00:49:51.000 and we got Ryan Bader, and we have such a big show today.

00:49:53.000 But I do know this, I was actually just following this recently and it's what brought you to mind.

00:49:57.000 So, drag con is a thing.

00:50:00.000 And it's like, it's sort of like Comic-Con for, I don't know if the term drag queen is derogatory,

00:50:04.000 but I know you're not gonna care so much because they've all threatened to kill you if you attend.

00:50:09.000 Am I mistaken?

00:50:11.000 Yeah, so it's RuPaul's Drag Con.

00:50:12.000 It's here in LA and it's kind of like a big LGBT convention based on the show RuPaul's Drag Race and kind of everyone in LA goes.

00:50:20.000 And they invited me to go and wanted to give me like a talent pass, VIP to do the red carpet and all that stuff.

00:50:20.000 Yeah.

00:50:27.000 And people have absolutely like lost their minds.

00:50:31.000 I've gotten so many threats of violence of worse than violence.

00:50:35.000 It's just insane.

00:50:37.000 Well, because RuPaul got in trouble, remember, for using the word tranny.

00:50:41.000 This is RuPaul.

00:50:42.000 Yeah, RuPaul is hacked all the time, too.

00:50:44.000 Because RuPaul isn't... Most drag queens actually aren't very politically correct because, you know, they're messes. 1.00

00:50:50.000 They're in costume, right?

00:50:53.000 Yes, I wonder why you might not curry their favor.

00:50:56.000 So, what's this?

00:50:57.000 You're still going?

00:50:59.000 Oh, hell yeah, I'm going.

00:51:00.000 I'm going.

00:51:02.000 Friends flying in town that are coming with me.

00:51:03.000 I'm going to have security and stuff.

00:51:06.000 I really don't care.

00:51:07.000 I feel like it's kind of, it comes with the territory of what I do at this point to get threats like that.

00:51:11.000 Yeah.

00:51:12.000 And I tend to stand on principle.

00:51:14.000 I'm just going to go.

00:51:15.000 I really don't care.

00:51:15.000 Let me ask you this, because we've talked about this before.

00:51:17.000 You know, there's, for people who don't know, there's obviously transvestites, drag queens, and there's transsexuals, and then there's transgender.

00:51:24.000 And some people like yourself, transgenders, have gone through multiple procedures. 1.00

00:51:27.000 And some people are basically just drag queens who call themselves transgender.

00:51:31.000 How do we, at DragCon, is this mostly just men who dress up like women, or has it become a hotbed for the transgender community as well?

00:51:40.000 Honey, every hot mess trainee at LA goes to it as well. 0.99

00:51:44.000 It's just like a big LGBT thing.

00:51:46.000 It's based around drag queens, which are just performers, but everyone on the spectrum goes to this thing. 0.98

00:51:52.000 So it'll be interesting.

00:51:53.000 It's not really my genre.

00:51:55.000 People aren't going to be super friendly to me there, but...

00:51:58.000 Are most drag queens, like, are they gay? 1.00

00:52:02.000 Are they interested? 0.93

00:52:03.000 What is the deal? 0.95

00:52:06.000 Yeah, they're usually just gay men. 0.83

00:52:08.000 There are some, I went to a show one time and there was a female drag queen, just a biological woman, just dressed up, kind of extra. 0.72

00:52:20.000 Some extra red tape and some hair dye.

00:52:21.000 I mean, what do you do?

00:52:22.000 Yes.

00:52:23.000 Everything's so arbitrary, you know?

00:52:25.000 I feel like none of it makes sense anymore. 0.97

00:52:29.000 The biological female drag queens, though, are usually messes. 1.00

00:52:32.000 They're really untalented. 0.98

00:52:34.000 I don't really like them.

00:52:36.000 Okay, this begs the question. 0.86

00:52:37.000 I don't mean to be an ass here. 0.93

00:52:39.000 What would be considered talent for a drag queen? 1.00

00:52:43.000 Are we talking fire-breathing drag queens? 1.00

00:52:44.000 Are they doing magic tricks?

00:52:46.000 The only drag queen I ever saw... There are really some crazy ones. 1.00

00:52:50.000 I've seen some be on stilts coming out ten feet tall.

00:52:54.000 There's probably fire-breathing ones.

00:52:55.000 I don't know.

00:52:56.000 Usually the talent is limited, but there's those small occasions where it's like, oh, they're doing something.

00:53:00.000 Which came first?

00:53:02.000 The stilt-walking?

00:53:03.000 Like, how can I take this to the next level?

00:53:05.000 I don't know!

00:53:06.000 Or was it like... I don't know!

00:53:08.000 It's a very...

00:53:09.000 But I feel like this has brought people like you and myself closer together, because I was confused.

00:53:14.000 And then at one point, like, transgenders were like, well, you shouldn't be so confused.

00:53:16.000 And I was like, well, look at the rule book.

00:53:19.000 I'm a little more confused.

00:53:20.000 And now I have more people going, I'm confused too.

00:53:23.000 Because I don't, I don't, you know, listen, I always beg some questions.

00:53:27.000 The only drag queen I ever met, you remember this, was that my wife had the bright idea at a Valentine's Day to go to a burlesque show. 1.00

00:53:35.000 And there was one very large, like, Samoan drag queen. 1.00

00:53:40.000 Oh, you told me this.

00:53:41.000 And he just walked out and beelined for me like a laser beam.

00:53:46.000 And I was like, no, just move along down the trail.

00:53:49.000 Now, this guy had no talent.

00:53:50.000 This guy just put on some tassels and walked over and was like the Buffalo Bill from Silence of the Lambs.

00:53:55.000 And he was doing this right by my table.

00:53:57.000 And I was like, listen, you gonna do some stand-up?

00:53:59.000 You gonna do some improv?

00:54:01.000 The guy did nothing.

00:54:01.000 And unlike the chicks there, he would have had to get pretty darn close to even get some contact.

00:54:05.000 Yes, but he got the biggest cheers.

00:54:08.000 Some of the chicks there would have had to get pretty close too. 1.00

00:54:10.000 Yeah.

00:54:11.000 Not a lot of... It was a shallow talent pool, Blair.

00:54:14.000 This is the main point.

00:54:16.000 Very much.

00:54:17.000 I like when they're at least a little funny, you know?

00:54:19.000 No, this guy didn't sing.

00:54:20.000 I think he just mouthed words to a song, and that was it.

00:54:25.000 And he got all these cheers, like, well, you're cheering for nothing!

00:54:28.000 He's done nothing!

00:54:29.000 You've also gotten death threats from vegans and vegetarians, which I have as well, because I had Lierre Keith on, because you're no longer a vegan.

00:54:35.000 So you're getting it from all sides, Blair.

00:54:38.000 Getting it from every end, very much that.

00:54:41.000 Yeah, so I made a video about how I stopped being vegan.

00:54:43.000 I was vegan for about 10 years.

00:54:46.000 And I feel like being vegan's probably good for a two-week cleanse cycle, but once you hit that decade mark, I think things start declining.

00:54:55.000 And my health took a definite dip.

00:54:58.000 I was deficient in so many things, and I said, okay, screw it, I'm done doing this.

00:55:02.000 At that point, it was just habit anyways.

00:55:04.000 So I was like, okay, I'm just gonna change my diet.

00:55:06.000 Made a video about it, and I feel like I was very polite.

00:55:08.000 Yeah.

00:55:09.000 Usually I'm not, but I was in that video.

00:55:10.000 You're not always.

00:55:11.000 I feel like I was very nice.

00:55:12.000 And there was just dozens and dozens and dozens of response videos of people just losing their minds over it.

00:55:18.000 Okay, so what's your status now with the vegans?

00:55:23.000 Who are you more afraid of?

00:55:24.000 Is it an angry drag queen slash vegan chain gang? 0.97

00:55:28.000 Is it an alliance?

00:55:30.000 At this point, let's see.

00:55:31.000 Every group that hates me. 0.98

00:55:33.000 Vegans, drag queens, trans people, Black Lives Matter. 1.00

00:55:38.000 Islam. 0.99

00:55:38.000 That one has to be quiet because they could hear. 0.99

00:55:42.000 You know, I just did a debate for the New York Post with a Muslim girl and I was a little shook.

00:55:48.000 Yeah.

00:55:49.000 That'll be out soon.

00:55:51.000 Uh, yeah.

00:55:52.000 Honestly, as far as I'm concerned, all the right groups hate me. 0.67

00:55:54.000 The Muslims you gotta look out for, but I mean, the vegans, they don't have the energy to carry out anything. 1.00

00:55:54.000 Yes. 1.00

00:55:58.000 No, they don't, they don't have the, they don't have the vocal endurance.

00:56:00.000 Yes.

00:56:01.000 Yeah.

00:56:01.000 They can type, but they can't chase you.

00:56:03.000 Right.

00:56:04.000 Exactly.

00:56:05.000 Well, you know, that's actually a good, you would probably be much more on top of your health because you see doctors regularly, obviously with your, you know, when you're doing hormones, anything like that.

00:56:11.000 I mean, men who are doing, aging men who go through the hormone replacement therapy, these are people who would be more on top of this than people who just release some YouTube videos.

00:56:18.000 And what bothers me, Listen, people can be healthy and be vegans, but there is a lot of bad health advice coming from the vegan community.

00:56:25.000 And it's dogmatic.

00:56:27.000 And yeah, we had Lierre Keith on, who was a former vegan.

00:56:29.000 We got so many death threats.

00:56:29.000 Remember on the show?

00:56:30.000 I felt bad for Lierre, who was a liberal on the show, but she became more conservative because of all the death threats she got from the angry vegans.

00:56:38.000 That'll do it.

00:56:39.000 I mean, it is crazy how everyone suddenly becomes a doctor, a nutritionist, when in reality, the reason I stopped being vegan was because I went to a doctor.

00:56:48.000 Right.

00:56:49.000 You know, everyone thinks they're an expert on it, and it really is like a religion.

00:56:53.000 Yeah.

00:56:54.000 Well, I stopped doing green smoothies because I went to a doctor.

00:56:56.000 My thyroid got really... Because if you do a lot of raw greens, particularly if you have a thyroid issue, the oxalates in the greens, it's actually really rough on your thyroid.

00:57:03.000 So my doctor just said, he's like, listen... And he's super... And I also go to a place that's just preventative care, where these doctors, you know, they do a scan every year to check you for cancer, check your overall health.

00:57:13.000 I highly recommend everybody do that to some degree.

00:57:15.000 And they just said, listen, The truth is, cook your vegetables.

00:57:18.000 The perfect thing would be to have your meat, whatever your complex carbohydrate is, in a limited amount, and if you could steam your vegetables, that's great.

00:57:26.000 But raw vegetables, we know some people don't react to them well.

00:57:29.000 That's all, and the problem was fixed.

00:57:30.000 My blood work got better.

00:57:31.000 Final question, Boy Scout issue.

00:57:33.000 I've been following that this week.

00:57:34.000 What do you think about girls in the Boy Scouts? 0.91

00:57:37.000 Oh my God, so what they did was they changed the name of the Boy Scout to, what was it, Scouts BSA or something?

00:57:43.000 Was that it?

00:57:44.000 Yeah, BSM thing.

00:57:45.000 Yeah, I mean, I'm of the opinion, there have been many, many studies to corroborate it, that young boys and girls do quite well developmentally when they are, you know, involved in activities with just their gender, so... Right.

00:57:58.000 It's really not something that I'm for.

00:58:01.000 Did the Girl Scouts change their names, too?

00:58:03.000 No, the Girl Scouts aren't happy about it.

00:58:05.000 The Girl Scouts aren't happy about it.

00:58:06.000 And let me ask you this, because I think transgenders are allowed in either the Boy Scouts or the Girl Scouts, or both.

00:58:12.000 As a transgender person, but you obviously have strong opinions on transitioning children, what's your opinion on Girl Scouts there being like, well, listen, we want a girl-only space, period. 0.98

00:58:21.000 It seems to me like that's a reasonable request, because boys are gross. 0.95

00:58:25.000 It is reasonable. 0.99

00:58:27.000 And boys are gross. 0.84

00:58:28.000 It's such a conundrum because obviously, one of the things I've been very outspoken about is that I'm against children transitioning. 1.00

00:58:36.000 The fact that I'm against it doesn't change the fact that they're there.

00:58:39.000 And so it does, it makes you sad that young kids can't participate in stuff.

00:58:45.000 But at the same time, I think when you're at that young age, I think it is better just to stick with the biological sex and, like, if you've been transitioning since you were, like, six, I disagree with that so heavily. 0.54

00:58:55.000 By the time you're 13, if you want to join some kind of thing, maybe.

00:58:58.000 Never developed puberty of your biological sex, but... Well, that doesn't happen even if you're not transgender if you're in the Boy Scouts. 0.96

00:59:04.000 When you're 13, it halts puberty.

00:59:06.000 It's effectively an alternative to puberty blockers.

00:59:10.000 When you're only a couple years away from the draft age, listen, whittling in the woods with a gimp bracelet, that's not quite cutting it.

00:59:17.000 Okay, it is Ms.

00:59:18.000 Blaire White.

00:59:18.000 Ms.

00:59:19.000 Blaire White.

00:59:20.000 Want to make sure people get that right.

00:59:21.000 Also on Instagram, Blaire.

00:59:23.000 I am going to be watching for videos from, of course, YouTube.com slash BlaireWhiteX.

00:59:27.000 Sorry, I forgot that one.

00:59:28.000 With DragCon.

00:59:29.000 Keep us updated.

00:59:30.000 Thank you so much for coming in.

00:59:32.000 Thank you so much for having me.

00:59:33.000 Bye guys.

00:59:34.000 Okay, we'll have Ryan Bader after this.

00:59:35.000 Ooh, fighting!

00:59:36.000 Welcome to Wild At Law on the Nature Network, narrated by Jasper Pronunciation.

00:59:58.000 Oh, the male silverback gorilla.

01:00:00.000 A pure picture of power, speed, and a package of elegance.

01:00:06.000 You know what?

01:00:07.000 I swear, that gorilla reminds me of my old college roommate.

01:00:11.000 It's uncanny. 0.99

01:00:12.000 Dammit, Jasper, just do the lines. 0.99

01:00:14.000 No, no, no, no, really. 1.00

01:00:15.000 It'd be great if we could do like a side-by-side and just bring in... Don't say it.

01:00:20.000 Don't say what?

01:00:21.000 Just drop it, move on.

01:00:21.000 The name of your roommate.

01:00:22.000 Come on.

01:00:23.000 No, no, it's nothing bad.

01:00:24.000 He was a great roommate and he was built like a brick outhouse.

01:00:27.000 It's just the resemblance here is striking between this gorilla and... Don't.

01:00:33.000 Now, don't what?

01:00:34.000 Don't say the name.

01:00:37.000 Jasper?

01:00:40.000 My roommate Tyrone!

01:00:42.000 Stay tuned for more Wild and Wild on the Nature Network.

01:00:46.000 Narrated by Jasper Propp.

01:00:49.000 Thanks for watching!

01:00:53.000 Thanks for watching!

01:00:57.000 Subscribe for more! 0.99

01:01:01.000 All right, just want to make sure that I have some moves so the next guy doesn't kick my ass. 0.99

01:01:05.000 I always get a little bit nervous when we have guests who don't, you know, obviously we have a lot of MMA fighters on the show, but they're friends of the show. 0.92

01:01:10.000 It's true.

01:01:11.000 Leaning more politically, you never know if they're comfortable.

01:01:13.000 But he has a Black Rifle coffee shirt, so I don't think he's going to be that offended at the kind of content on this show.

01:01:18.000 I have found him for a while.

01:01:19.000 You can follow him on the Instagram and the Twitter, at Ryan Bader.

01:01:22.000 Mr. Bader, thank you for being here, sir.

01:01:24.000 Oh, thanks for having me.

01:01:25.000 I am super glad to have you.

01:01:26.000 Look at this.

01:01:27.000 Now, are you just standing there to make your arm look bigger?

01:01:30.000 Yeah, I'm just trying to get a little gun show over here.

01:01:32.000 Yes, exactly.

01:01:33.000 Well, for people who don't know, you are fighting Saturday the 12th in San Jose against King Mo.

01:01:39.000 There's a Bellator tournament, people who follow the show should know, for the heavyweight champion of Bellator.

01:01:44.000 We've had Matt Mitriona, we've had Chael on, and you're fighting King Mo.

01:01:49.000 How do you feel being in this tournament?

01:01:50.000 You've won at light heavyweight for a long time.

01:01:52.000 I did.

01:01:53.000 Self-proclaimed king, you know, fighting Muhammad the wall. 0.98

01:01:57.000 You know, I'm a light heavyweight champ.

01:01:59.000 I defended it.

01:02:00.000 So I felt like I did feel like I needed to defend that belt before moving into the heavyweight division.

01:02:07.000 So I did that.

01:02:08.000 And I was told, you know, hey, you can keep your light heavyweight belt, but would you be interested in doing a heavyweight tournament, Grand Prix style tournament?

01:02:16.000 Without knowing any of the guys, if it was one night, if it was over time, and we said, yes, let's do it.

01:02:22.000 I wanted to fight heavyweight.

01:02:23.000 I want to try to be a two-division champion.

01:02:27.000 That's not done a lot in mixed martial arts.

01:02:30.000 And so for me, it was a no-brainer.

01:02:31.000 It's done even less at the higher weight classes.

01:02:34.000 A difference between 155 and 170 is very, very different from 205 to 265.

01:02:40.000 But yeah, any night, I didn't even know the person, I would have been like, I have a bronchial infection.

01:02:46.000 I don't know.

01:02:46.000 Can we do modified rules?

01:02:50.000 What are you walking around at now, Ryan?

01:02:53.000 I'm about 230 right now, and so I don't have to cut weight this week, which is a big plus for me.

01:02:57.000 It pulls that stress of me doing an interview with you right now.

01:03:02.000 I would be Thinking about I need to cut 15 pounds out of my body by tomorrow morning, right?

01:03:09.000 And I'm excited to see how I feel without having to take that out.

01:03:13.000 It's got to do something to your performance, right?

01:03:15.000 And so I'm fighting Mo.

01:03:17.000 He's probably the smallest guy I've ever fought.

01:03:19.000 You know, but in this tournament, I go out there and win.

01:03:22.000 I'm fighting Matt Mitrione, who I know, he's a friend of mine, he's a friend of yours.

01:03:26.000 Big dude.

01:03:27.000 He's a big dude.

01:03:28.000 That's why I'm jumping into the heavyweight tournament.

01:03:31.000 Yes, exactly.

01:03:31.000 Well, yeah, exactly.

01:03:34.000 Self-professed king, and then we have Matt Mitrione.

01:03:37.000 I remember King Mo got in trouble for having an oxygen inhaler in his corner one time, which I just thought was so funny.

01:03:42.000 It was like, of all the performance-enhancing drugs, he got popped those, taking an oxygen inhaler.

01:03:46.000 Which they found out later, I don't even think works.

01:03:48.000 But I'm glad to hear that you think your performance will be better.

01:03:50.000 Not so sure after appearing on this show.

01:03:52.000 This sucks your soul right out of you.

01:03:54.000 I'm sorry, it's louder with crowd.

01:03:56.000 No, you're fine, you're fine.

01:03:57.000 Actually, I think we're a good luck charm.

01:03:58.000 I think everyone who has appeared on this show has won their fight afterward.

01:04:02.000 Chael has won.

01:04:02.000 I'll take that.

01:04:03.000 Chael won.

01:04:04.000 He beat Vanderlei.

01:04:06.000 I don't remember Jake Shield's next fight.

01:04:08.000 Who's the guy from Brooklyn?

01:04:11.000 Who am I thinking of?

01:04:11.000 From Brooklyn?

01:04:12.000 I have no idea who you're talking about.

01:04:13.000 George St.

01:04:14.000 Pierre beat Michael Bisping.

01:04:15.000 So, you know what?

01:04:16.000 You're welcome.

01:04:17.000 Hey, I'll take it.

01:04:18.000 I'll take the luck.

01:04:19.000 I'll keep a nice shelf here for the belt.

01:04:22.000 Now, you and King Mo have a history going back into college, right?

01:04:25.000 Yeah, you know, he's older than me.

01:04:28.000 About three or four years older than me.

01:04:30.000 I was a freshman at Arizona State University.

01:04:32.000 I went out there.

01:04:33.000 And, um, you know, my, my cornerman were Aaron Simpson who fought in the UFC.

01:04:38.000 Um, another guy named Eric Larkin that it's a big, big time national champion wrestler.

01:04:41.000 They knew who I was facing.

01:04:43.000 I didn't really know.

01:04:43.000 I walked out there and this dude jumped and he literally jumped over my head and I turned around and look at my cornerman and they're just cracking up laughing, you know?

01:04:52.000 And then I went out there and he proceeded to, uh, tech me, which means they beat me by 15 points or more.

01:04:57.000 Basically the worst thing that could happen.

01:05:00.000 Sounds pretty rough.

01:05:01.000 Yeah, it's terrible.

01:05:02.000 And so now, you know, 16, 17, 18 years later, I'm still competing.

01:05:07.000 He's still competing.

01:05:09.000 And I get to get that back.

01:05:10.000 You know, I get to go out there and redeem myself.

01:05:13.000 And I've done that a few times.

01:05:14.000 I wrestled Phil Davis in college.

01:05:17.000 He ended up beating me a close match.

01:05:18.000 And then I ended up beating him in two mixed martial arts fights.

01:05:21.000 So I think this is the ultimate competition.

01:05:23.000 Right.

01:05:24.000 Well, I mean, you're a lot bigger than him now, so it's like you're a late bloomer, only you're an angry late bloomer.

01:05:29.000 I have a question for you, and I don't want this to be a sore spot, but obviously he's in the news everywhere.

01:05:33.000 You fought Jon Jones, and he won that encounter.

01:05:37.000 I figured your segue, because you lost to King Moe, I figured this was a perfect time to enter with something else that I'm sure will anger you.

01:05:43.000 And now they seem to be throwing the book at him.

01:05:44.000 The guy's popped hot now so many times.

01:05:47.000 Do you think that changes his legacy?

01:05:50.000 What's your opinion on that, having fought John Jones?

01:05:53.000 Because it's not a one-time offense.

01:05:54.000 I mean, this is a guy who can't get his act together.

01:05:58.000 Yeah, I mean, listen, he's probably one of the best fighters of all time.

01:06:01.000 Yes.

01:06:01.000 With, you know, physical specimen, his talent is off the charts, you know, and he's never lost a fight.

01:06:08.000 Technically, he got DQ'd one, you know, one fight, but he's never actually lost a fight.

01:06:13.000 Yeah, I do think it's gonna tarnish his legacy.

01:06:16.000 He's been it wasn't a one-time thing It's been multiple multiple things and plus he's he's he's been out for a while And you know that allowed a guy like Cormier to come in and take over that take over a spot Basically and Cormier is a good guy now, you know and yeah You know so that definitely tarnished your legacy for sure if there's a one, you know one time mistake and Everybody makes mistakes.

01:06:39.000 All right, hey guys, I'm sorry.

01:06:39.000 You talk it up.

01:06:41.000 But then you come back and something else happens.

01:06:43.000 Yeah.

01:06:43.000 It gets to the point where with the latest thing, it's almost like you can't be... Well, let's be clear.

01:06:50.000 Again, right?

01:06:51.000 The first act was hitting a pregnant lady while high and then running. 0.95

01:06:51.000 Yes. 0.95

01:06:55.000 And then several tests positive afterward.

01:06:58.000 And these positive tests came after being a motivational speaker to kids.

01:07:01.000 Like, I cleaned up my life.

01:07:03.000 But you pop hot three times from now!

01:07:06.000 Wait for reparations!

01:07:08.000 You know, you see this a lot though, Ryan, and we've had fighters on this show talk about it, the defense too, from a lot of these guys.

01:07:14.000 I don't know that John has said this, but the majority of athletes are on this, and so it really doesn't affect the legacy.

01:07:20.000 In contrast to people like George St.

01:07:21.000 Pierre who never tested positive.

01:07:23.000 What would you say to those people?

01:07:24.000 Is that true?

01:07:25.000 Do you think a majority or plurality of people are using something?

01:07:28.000 Or do you think we're at the point where it doesn't really matter that the playing field is evened?

01:07:33.000 You know, especially in the UFC, that's... I mean, you've seen performance.

01:07:37.000 You've seen bodies change.

01:07:38.000 Yes, yes, you have.

01:07:40.000 It's crazy.

01:07:41.000 You have one guy that's totally ripped at weigh-ins. 0.95

01:07:43.000 He's an animal.

01:07:44.000 And then... And I've fought these guys, too.

01:07:46.000 And then you get in the cage with them when USADA came, and it's been a year, maybe, and they're not taking their stuff.

01:07:53.000 And maybe it's not really doing anything physically to them, but mentally, up here, they're not on it anymore.

01:07:58.000 And so, you know, for me, I remember one fight in particular, I was going out there.

01:08:02.000 The guy popped before and got caught and whatnot.

01:08:07.000 And I remember going in there and just breaking him.

01:08:10.000 You didn't have any spirit.

01:08:11.000 The fight left.

01:08:12.000 This was after the testing, you mean?

01:08:14.000 Yeah, after the testing started.

01:08:16.000 In UFC, with the USADA testing, I do believe it's cut down tremendously.

01:08:22.000 But in the early days, Oh, come on.

01:08:26.000 Yeah, look, in the early... I mean, listen, I don't want to name names, but Vitor Belfort was fighting at heavyweight, now he can barely tip the middleweight scale.

01:08:32.000 The guy was walking around at 220 with, like, your veins in his nipples, for crying out loud.

01:08:37.000 So it really is insane, the early days. 0.92

01:08:39.000 Now, there are both different opinions on that.

01:08:41.000 Well, hopefully, listen, we wish you the best with this fight.

01:08:43.000 Appreciate it.

01:08:44.000 Sorry, we just had B-roll of you teaching how to stuff a double leg takedown naked. 1.00

01:08:47.000 I wish we could have talked about that more.

01:08:49.000 But you look good, Ryan.

01:08:50.000 I appreciate it.

01:08:51.000 So testing or not, that was a video that I'm sure we'll get a lot of feedback from the female fans. 0.98

01:08:55.000 People can follow you at RyanBader.

01:08:58.000 And where can they tune in to watch this fight?

01:09:01.000 So it's going to be on Paramount Network.

01:09:02.000 It was an old Spike TV.

01:09:03.000 It's 6 p.m.

01:09:05.000 Pacific Standard Time.

01:09:07.000 And great card.

01:09:08.000 And then we're going to cap it off, be the main event.

01:09:10.000 And the winner's moving on to fight Dimitrion.

01:09:13.000 And I'm going to throw my hat in there to be a two-division champion and go out there and win this whole tournament.

01:09:19.000 Well, I can't watch if it's between you, Chael, or Mitch Reown.

01:09:22.000 I'll just sit on the sidelines.

01:09:23.000 I can't.

01:09:24.000 Matt and I are friends, too, you know?

01:09:24.000 Well, it's funny.

01:09:26.000 And he texted me. 0.99

01:09:27.000 He's like, hey, can't wait to punch you in the face in October. 0.93

01:09:29.000 That sounds like a healthy relationship. 0.97

01:09:31.000 Yeah, it's good.

01:09:32.000 AtRyanBeta, we wish you luck, sir.

01:09:32.000 We have to go.

01:09:34.000 We'll talk with you again soon.

01:09:35.000 Appreciate it, guys.

01:09:35.000 Bye.

01:09:36.000 Yes, sir.

01:09:37.000 Every day, comedians like Steven and Jared here just want to make you smile.

01:09:52.000 And Sven Computer, he just needs to have the electric bills paid.

01:10:00.000 He's a computer for God's sake.

01:10:03.000 These boys need your help. 0.99

01:10:05.000 They don't have a big budget, unlike Jimmy Kimmel, who still manages to suck. 0.98

01:10:12.000 Do the right thing. 0.99

01:10:13.000 Hi, I'm lesbian Sarah McLachlan.

01:10:19.000 For $99 a year, you can join the Mug Club, and keep the lights on, and keep the comedy going. 0.99

01:10:27.000 Because if you don't, I will euthanize these people. 0.98

01:10:31.000 I'll put them down like the animals they are. 1.00

01:10:35.000 Don't think I won't. 1.00

01:10:37.000 I'm a lesbian. 0.98

01:10:38.000 I'm crazy. 0.99

01:11:37.000 I just drowned our sound guy. 0.61

01:11:38.000 If you're in the water, you just die.

01:11:42.000 Breaststroke, sidestroke, fancy diving to backstroke?

01:11:46.000 No, you just die.

01:11:47.000 You have to be on top of the water.

01:11:48.000 I didn't know this.

01:11:49.000 Also, very hard stroke is the butterfly stroke, if you've never done it.

01:11:51.000 Not the information I thought I learned.

01:11:53.000 I don't know how Phelps does it.

01:11:54.000 But thank you so much to, of course, Elon Musk, Ben Shapiro, Ryan Bader, Blair White, unbelievable, Owen Benjamin.

01:12:01.000 We hope he doesn't euthanize us.

01:12:02.000 No.

01:12:03.000 We have an unbelievable week next week.

01:12:04.000 You know, I was like 23 years old before I realized that when people talk about euthanasia, they weren't just bitching about kids in Nike shoe sweatshots.

01:12:11.000 I'm not going to lie about that.

01:12:13.000 I thought that too.

01:12:14.000 I was like, why is everyone, just let the kids be kids.

01:12:17.000 Let them be!

01:12:18.000 So what if they're Asian? 0.99

01:12:19.000 I thought that when I got in college.

01:12:21.000 To be fair, when I got into college, I was 16.

01:12:23.000 Because I was a year younger than the way the school system works.

01:12:26.000 But I got there and I remember, it was one of those things where we were having a discussion in humanities class and we were talking about euthanasia and the wave came over where the context hit me and I realized I had no idea.

01:12:36.000 Yeah, I had a friend who was doing a report on euthanasia and I'm like, that's boring as hell.

01:12:42.000 Euthanasia. 0.99

01:12:44.000 It sucks. 0.99

01:12:45.000 M. Thesis. 1.00

01:12:47.000 M. Thesis.

01:12:48.000 But I like their pokey sticks.

01:12:49.000 I have one Chinese friend who has it in his lunchbox. 0.98

01:12:51.000 That's pretty cool.

01:12:54.000 I don't know.

01:12:54.000 I had a lot of Asian friends.

01:12:56.000 Actually, it's funny.

01:12:57.000 At Centennial, it was.

01:12:58.000 The Asians only hung out with Asians, almost. 0.95

01:13:00.000 And then the Middle Eastern Muslims almost exclusively hung out with Middle Eastern Muslims.

01:13:05.000 But they hated the Jews, so that was their common bond. 0.98

01:13:09.000 But it was funny. 0.99

01:13:10.000 The Jew b****es, was that your crowd? 1.00

01:13:11.000 Yes, that was how they referred to me until they found out I wasn't Jewish. 0.98

01:13:17.000 No, I remember that, though.

01:13:18.000 It's very different from here. 0.54

01:13:19.000 Even in the United States, you have neighborhoods where they bitch about segregation. 1.00

01:13:22.000 But then in places like Montreal, where it's not a melting pot, you may have people all in the same school, but they are completely self-segregated.

01:13:31.000 It was very, very rare to see an Asian, a Chinese girl, or a Korean girl.

01:13:31.000 Yeah.

01:13:35.000 We didn't have a ton, but we had some Chinese.

01:13:37.000 I don't think we had any Japanese people at our school.

01:13:39.000 We had a lot of Chinese people, and we had quite a few Koreans.

01:13:43.000 I don't think, as a matter of fact, I don't think I can ever remember any of them being with a guy who was not the same race.

01:13:48.000 All the Haitians do. 1.00

01:13:49.000 All the Haitians fare. 1.00

01:13:50.000 The Haitians? 1.00

01:13:50.000 Yeah, French Canadians hate them because they're racist as hell. 1.00

01:13:53.000 Yeah, because they speak French. 0.98

01:13:54.000 A lot of Haitians came over to them.

01:13:55.000 I didn't have them in my school because I was in an English school at that point.

01:13:58.000 And we had very, very few black students. 0.93

01:13:59.000 That was lame. 0.97

01:14:00.000 I just wanted to point out the racism of Canada. 0.96

01:14:01.000 Yeah, the racism of French Canada.

01:14:02.000 Didn't you hear?

01:14:03.000 It doesn't exist outside the United States.

01:14:05.000 The United States is the only country in 20... We invented racism.

01:14:07.000 We invented it.

01:14:09.000 We invented slavery and melanin. 0.83

01:14:11.000 You were making a point here right before we came back with the drowning dance earlier.

01:14:16.000 We were talking about why do we care what other countries think.

01:14:18.000 And I'm not saying that that is necessarily the fulcrum as to how we're going to dictate foreign policy.

01:14:25.000 No, of course you have to take things into consideration, but it is a genuine question.

01:14:29.000 Why do we care so much?

01:14:30.000 And I think we're learning that lesson right now with the U.S.

01:14:32.000 and nations in the world as a whole.

01:14:34.000 But I think a mark of maturity in your own personal life is just Figuring out which opinions matter, which ones do not.

01:14:40.000 Yeah.

01:14:40.000 Which people do you owe something to?

01:14:42.000 Which people do you owe your best to?

01:14:43.000 And which people... They don't owe... I don't owe anything to them.

01:14:47.000 Yeah.

01:14:47.000 They don't deserve a part of me.

01:14:49.000 If I can throw them a bone, then I will.

01:14:51.000 Wink wink, I ran.

01:14:51.000 Right.

01:14:54.000 I appreciate, by the way, you said give my best and you pointed to me.

01:14:54.000 What?

01:14:58.000 He said he was going to give a part of him to me.

01:14:58.000 He did this.

01:15:00.000 That was a mistake.

01:15:01.000 Yes.

01:15:02.000 Also...

01:15:04.000 No, I think it's a good point.

01:15:05.000 Being able to determine who you owe and who you don't.

01:15:08.000 Because that's one thing, too.

01:15:10.000 You have some people that do what feels good.

01:15:12.000 You don't owe anyone anything.

01:15:13.000 Well, that's not true.

01:15:14.000 And by the way, the Obama thing that you didn't build, that of course is infuriating.

01:15:19.000 As individualists, there is no self-made man.

01:15:22.000 There are always other people who have helped him, whether it's a wife, whether it's employees, whether it's a team, whether it's someone who encouraged him, whether it's a mentor.

01:15:29.000 I understand that absolutely.

01:15:31.000 And you do owe that person something.

01:15:32.000 If only it's respect.

01:15:33.000 Sometimes you owe someone respect.

01:15:35.000 Sometimes you owe them a debt of gratitude, right?

01:15:38.000 And that's part of being an adult, is figuring out who you owe and who you don't.

01:15:42.000 But you don't owe the whole world a favor.

01:15:43.000 There's a lot of people you don't owe anything.

01:15:44.000 There's a lot of people that you do not owe a favor.

01:15:47.000 Just because they're knocking on your door doesn't mean you have to open it.

01:15:49.000 You know a good example?

01:15:50.000 We owe, everyone watching this, we owe you.

01:15:52.000 We do owe you for tuning in.

01:15:54.000 I've always felt as though we owe you.

01:15:57.000 Now we don't owe you doing exactly what you request every single day.

01:16:00.000 What we do owe you is doing this program to the best of our abilities, absolutely.

01:16:03.000 That's why you see we don't rest on our laurels and we try to constantly do something new, innovate.

01:16:07.000 That Glen Gary Glen Ross intro was extremely difficult.

01:16:11.000 We had to call an audible because we couldn't get an office.

01:16:13.000 We constantly are trying to, like we say, every single performance, re-earn your approval.

01:16:17.000 But this also flies in the face.

01:16:18.000 And this is something, too, I had a lot of questions.

01:16:20.000 We had Mark Driscoll on the show this week for people who aren't Mug Club members.

01:16:23.000 Mark Driscoll.

01:16:24.000 We had Naomi Wolf.

01:16:26.000 Some great guests for people who have not yet joined.

01:16:28.000 And I know if you're hitting the notification bell and not receiving them, really the only way at this point is to join Mug Club.

01:16:33.000 If you bookmark this page and you're using Google Chrome, good luck.

01:16:35.000 It's going to be replaced with CNN pretty soon.

01:16:39.000 Something else, too, you know, this idea of you don't owe the world anything, you don't owe anybody anything.

01:16:44.000 There's this idea, too, a lot of people ask, I asked a question with Mark Driscoll, how do you balance being authentic, we were talking about this as a Christian, how do you balance being authentic with still also trying to be a good witness, still also trying to be a productive example, right?

01:16:57.000 Because you have some people who are pious, they just act like they've never done anything wrong, and that doesn't help anybody at all.

01:17:02.000 I always felt ostracized from the church as a kid because of people like that, because they'd hear me and they'd say, well, he said a bad word.

01:17:07.000 I'd be like, Yeah, but you forced your girlfriend to have an abortion. 1.00

01:17:11.000 The pastor just doesn't know about it. 0.60

01:17:13.000 You're far worse than me saying the S-word.

01:17:15.000 I just happen to be a youth grouper.

01:17:17.000 I always had this sense of justice, so I would get really mad at that.

01:17:20.000 People who try to hide all of their mistakes, their misdeeds.

01:17:24.000 But then you have this message now that everyone should just take pride in it because you don't owe anyone anything.

01:17:29.000 And how do you balance that?

01:17:30.000 I can't remember who it was.

01:17:32.000 I don't know if it was Pink.

01:17:33.000 I don't know if it was Rihanna.

01:17:35.000 It was some female pop star who was saying, I don't care. 1.00

01:17:38.000 I don't know the world or anything.

01:17:39.000 You're beautiful.

01:17:40.000 Show the world who you are.

01:17:41.000 That was all of them.

01:17:42.000 Yes, it was all of them.

01:17:44.000 Show who you are.

01:17:44.000 Scars and all.

01:17:46.000 And I think this is a good way to look at it, because I've struggled with this, and I've tried to be honest with you guys about a lot of my shortcomings and issues that I struggle with.

01:17:52.000 I've talked about some of my problems, my personal problems sometimes.

01:17:54.000 Sometimes I've talked about health problems and how I've gotten through them, health

01:17:58.000 mistakes that I've made, mental health issues, dealing with anger. So a scar is a

01:18:02.000 good example. Just show the world your scar and be proud of it. Well, hold on a second.

01:18:05.000 Okay, let's go with that.

01:18:06.000 What is a scar? A scar is tissue that's healed.

01:18:09.000 It was a wound and it's healed. So you're not going forward and telling people, you

01:18:14.000 don't need, it's not authentic to be proud of it before it's a scar.

01:18:17.000 It's taking pride in how you healed that scar.

01:18:20.000 Oh, you know what?

01:18:21.000 I was incredibly overweight.

01:18:22.000 I was unhealthy.

01:18:23.000 I was on the trail to diabetes.

01:18:24.000 But look, that tissue scarred over.

01:18:27.000 I got my health in control.

01:18:28.000 I was depressed.

01:18:29.000 I was bipolar.

01:18:30.000 I thought I had issues mentally, so I went and I sought help.

01:18:34.000 And I surrounded myself with better people.

01:18:36.000 I started making better decisions.

01:18:37.000 And look, that's a scar.

01:18:38.000 That healed.

01:18:39.000 So let me show, look at this scar.

01:18:42.000 You can heal it too.

01:18:43.000 That's very different from just saying, hey, listen, I'm fat, and I'm a turnip, and I'm proud.

01:18:49.000 That's not a scar.

01:18:50.000 That's bleeding all over the carpet.

01:18:52.000 That's an open wound.

01:18:53.000 There's a big difference.

01:18:54.000 We know all those people who just like, you look at them, you're like, are you?

01:18:57.000 Are you ever planning on getting your life together?

01:18:59.000 Right.

01:18:59.000 Are you ever?

01:19:00.000 Don't judge.

01:19:01.000 Don't judge.

01:19:02.000 I'm authentic. 0.97

01:19:03.000 No, you're just a mess. 1.00

01:19:05.000 You're just a life suck. 1.00

01:19:06.000 Yes, and you're bleeding like a ram. 1.00

01:19:08.000 You're just, you're bleeding all over the carpet.

01:19:09.000 I don't want you.

01:19:10.000 That's very different from a scar.

01:19:11.000 And so if you're looking at this, and that's one thing we try to do with this show.

01:19:14.000 Listen, I'm a Christian.

01:19:14.000 I'm not a good, I'm not a perfect example.

01:19:16.000 I talk about that all the time.

01:19:17.000 I try to be open about my faith.

01:19:18.000 If you want to talk about it, great, we can talk about it.

01:19:20.000 I try not to proselytize.

01:19:21.000 There are enough podcasts out there that do that, and they're not open about their faults.

01:19:26.000 But, I'm never going to take pride in sin or bad behavior or a wound.

01:19:31.000 That is, I think, the delineation that people need to be able to make.

01:19:35.000 Using what you've overcome to help other people overcome it.

01:19:39.000 Or, a lot of people say they have to learn the hard way.

01:19:41.000 Not everyone has to learn the hard way.

01:19:43.000 I don't want people to learn the hard way.

01:19:45.000 That's why you show them your scars.

01:19:47.000 This, I have a small scar here.

01:19:48.000 You know what that was?

01:19:49.000 That was chicken pox.

01:19:50.000 I was told not to itch it.

01:19:52.000 I itched it.

01:19:53.000 So do you know what I tell my nephew and niece?

01:19:55.000 Don't hit your chicken pox!

01:19:57.000 Right?

01:19:58.000 That's what I tell them.

01:19:59.000 I had this scar here.

01:20:00.000 What is it?

01:20:01.000 My left or my right?

01:20:02.000 I don't know.

01:20:02.000 The surgeon did such a good job, I can't even see it.

01:20:04.000 It's an appendectomy. 0.99

01:20:06.000 I ate like crap. 0.99

01:20:07.000 I ate nothing but Pop-Tarts. 0.98

01:20:08.000 So I tell people, don't do that.

01:20:09.000 You might not need an appendectomy.

01:20:11.000 Do you have any scars?

01:20:12.000 Any significant scars?

01:20:12.000 I have some significant scars from my surgeries.

01:20:14.000 Oh yeah, that's right.

01:20:15.000 Well, there's nothing really you can do about that.

01:20:17.000 Here's a scar.

01:20:18.000 This was from punching through drywall.

01:20:20.000 Warning! 0.98

01:20:20.000 Okay? 0.98

01:20:21.000 Okay?

01:20:21.000 Scarred.

01:20:22.000 Healed over.

01:20:22.000 When you... If I dealt with anger issues, what hurts is when you pull back.

01:20:27.000 Drywall is sharp.

01:20:29.000 I have a scar right here from running into my own center playing flag football.

01:20:32.000 I tell people that all the time.

01:20:33.000 Every day.

01:20:33.000 Don't do that.

01:20:34.000 How do you heal it?

01:20:34.000 There you go.

01:20:35.000 Don't be a stupid person. 1.00

01:20:36.000 Don't be a stupid person. 1.00

01:20:37.000 Get your anger issues in control and don't punch drywall. 1.00

01:20:40.000 It hurts. 0.99

01:20:41.000 I'm not gonna go, hey, look, look at me, I'm proud that I made a stupid mistake and punched through drywall because I didn't control my temper, and now I'm bleeding, look at this, you need to accept me. 0.92

01:20:50.000 And they go, oh, you're bleeding right here all over my fresh towels. 0.91

01:20:54.000 Oh, what?

01:20:55.000 You're judging?

01:20:56.000 Yes!

01:20:56.000 And it's okay to judge.

01:20:58.000 It's okay to make judgments, and it's okay to have scars.

01:21:01.000 But you shouldn't take pride in being a walking, festering open wound.

01:21:05.000 And that's what I was getting at with Pastor Mark Driscoll, and we had a lot of questions from people saying, you know, listen, man, I find struggle with that balance in life.

01:21:14.000 I find struggle with being open about my mistakes, but also wanting to set a good example for people, or also not wanting to fall back into those mistakes.

01:21:21.000 There is nothing wrong with a scar.

01:21:23.000 I think absolutely you should show the world your scars.

01:21:25.000 But that also, by the way, it's redundant.

01:21:27.000 This same pop star, I don't remember who it is, said, look, I am perfect the way I am, scars and all.

01:21:31.000 No, that's redundant.

01:21:32.000 You have scars, which means you're not perfect.

01:21:35.000 You're not helping anyone by saying, look at my scars, I'm perfect.

01:21:37.000 Be honest about the fact that they are imperfections or you are lying to yourself and you are lying to the people you could potentially help. 0.98

01:21:45.000 Stop with this stupid analogy of the scars. 0.98

01:21:47.000 Scars heal. 1.00

01:21:48.000 Heal your wounds, then you have something to be proud about.

01:21:51.000 Otherwise, guess what?

01:21:52.000 The rest of the world, even if they say they're not in these message boards or support groups, they're going to be judging you. 0.99

01:21:57.000 And they have every right to judge you because you're a walking open wound who hasn't gotten your crap together. 0.99

01:22:03.000 Scars, great. 0.99

01:22:03.000 Wounds, not so much. 0.99

01:22:04.000 Next week, by the way, I think it's going to be a good show.

01:22:07.000 It could also be, the entire week could be one big pustule of an open wound.

01:22:12.000 You never know, that's the roll of the dice.
