Tucker Carlson and Jim Acosta have a heated exchange of words about each other. Plus, we have an update on the mass shooting in Thousand Oaks, California, and a special guest appearance from an Islamic PR rep for ISIS.
00:03:53.000People are like, well, you know, you think it's okay to revoke Jim Acosta's press badge, so then it's okay to do the kill the beast there at Tucker Carlson's house.
00:05:00.000Well, the least surprising news of the week.
00:05:02.000Jim Acosta finally has his White House press credentials pulled.
00:05:06.000The decision came after the now, of course, notorious standoff between him and President Donald Trump during press conference Wednesday when he wouldn't give the microphone back to an intern.
00:05:15.000Now, of course, listen, on the right, or most on the right, see this as a given, while those on the left see this as Donald Trump driving his final nail into the coffin of modern journalism.
00:09:07.000We just step back and go, well... Let nature take its course here.
00:09:11.000I really would have thought, you know, you wouldn't think the explosion, you'd think it's Mexican tap water would be the high risk factor there.
00:09:40.000By the way, I want this man to be a guest on the show, so Shirako, Shirako, however it's pronounced, please, we would welcome you.
00:09:46.000He had his channel deleted for sharing a clip in which he fed a suffragette feminist to an alligator in the latest Red Dead Redemption 2 game.
00:09:55.000You know, I can't really do it justice.
00:11:07.000Then his YouTube channel was reinstated, and I swear to you, he actually came back in the very first video, or one of the first videos, it's called Deporting a Mexican, and he played a game, now there's like a Red Dead Redemption, so this guy just doesn't care.
00:11:19.000And it's a good idea, there's actually a strong debate going on in the gaming community, because if this is a violation of guidelines on YouTube, then everything is a violation of guidelines on YouTube.
00:11:27.000Do you have any idea how many people you kill in these games and most of them are men?
00:12:42.000No, it's like people with Canada, they have no idea that British Columbia is nowhere near Montreal.
00:12:46.000Finally, in sadder news, Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg was actually hospitalized for fracturing some ribs in a fall.
00:12:54.000According to the statement, Ginsburg, 85, experienced discomfort after she was going home Following the fall, I was admitted to George Washington University Thursday morning for observation and treatment.
00:13:04.000And actually, an EMT on the scene is a Mug Club member and snuck us a video of the justice before bringing her to the hospital.
00:14:43.000I don't know that I agree, but actually, we're receiving word right now that the notorious Ruth Bader Ginsburg's rib is actually not doing so well.
00:16:29.000No, because, you know, if she falls asleep, you can, like, snicker and make jokes about her, but you're still awake, so we can't make fun of you until you leave.
00:17:01.000We talked about Jim Acosta, we talked about Tucker Carlson, but Let's kind of get into the realm here of identity politics in the wake of the blue wave, as it's been called, I guess, by the left.
00:17:11.000Like we said, see yesterday's analysis.
00:17:14.000But in the wake of these elections, people are trying to read into something, I think, that isn't there exactly, and then push agendas that don't make sense.
00:18:19.000It's like the opposite of when you purchase a gun, which by the way, I'm not one who sees racism under every rock, but when you go to purchase a firearm, it has Caucasian, black, and then it has Latino, and then afterwards it has non-Latino.
00:21:19.000So it would stand to reason that they don't all make it to the highest levels of government.
00:21:23.000Though 68.5% do make it to the highest levels of the WNBA.
00:21:27.000Well look, if Fox is gonna be calling people out, why don't they have a little bit more diversity on their staff instead of gay, lispy, Latino males?
00:21:49.000Yeah, but... I'd be really surprised... But gaydar is usually, people usually, when they're looking and they're saying gaydar, so that's not... Yeah, well, we're hearing, so that's... Yeah, that's like... You're looking... That's like queer flicks.
00:22:03.000Again, they're just picking something to complain about and saying, oh, well, they represent this number of the population, so they should represent this percentage of the electorate.
00:22:13.000And by the way, it changes every single year from straight male to gay, not at Vox, but from straight male to gay male, from white to black, from male to female.
00:22:21.000I mean, you could follow a district, you could follow over the last 30 years, and you would find something different.
00:22:26.000And you certainly would find some diversity of thought, unless it's in California or in New York, but that's really what we should be talking about here.
00:22:32.000But again, Vox just, you need to vote for more women because, why?
00:22:36.000They make up 50% of the population, okay?
00:22:44.000Well, no, they've actually done studies in the most egalitarian countries in the world.
00:22:47.000These gender gaps actually spread out further.
00:22:50.000So in places where they have the most opportunity, the most equality, women tend to segregate themselves in careers and fields and industries more so than we see now.
00:23:02.000So if you say 75% of females are in this workforce, and there's only 10% over here as engineers, in the most equal societies in the world, that gap is actually larger.
00:23:12.000It doesn't get narrow, which is what you would expect, because they would have more opportunities, they're treated more equally, and it doesn't narrow at all.
00:23:18.000It actually gets larger, because people self-select out of these things most of the time.
00:23:21.000We have to move on from women and black women to the more important, more pressing issue.
00:23:27.000LGBT women make up about 2.5% of the U.S.
00:24:38.000And most people probably go, now, doesn't mean that you're less than, doesn't mean that I think you should be the victim of a hate crime, but it means that if somebody is really weird, a good example, Leslie in Austin.
00:24:48.000People remember him, he used to wear short shorts, you'd see his buttcheeks.
00:26:28.000You think this is going to convince everyone who's watching?
00:26:30.000You think a chart saying that women tend to care, not about national security, not about the primary purpose of government, keeping its citizens safe, that the fact that they couldn't care less, that that's going to, I guess, appeal to more voters?
00:26:46.000Look, I understand that politicians are going to pander to their audience and they're going to talk about the things that are important to them, but if I see climate change and there's 50-some-odd percent of women talking about it and not saying it's a hoax, I'm not voting for that person, or at least challenging it as being the 95 or 98 percent of all scientists agree kind of thing.
00:27:02.000So if I see that on somebody's talking points, I'm like, I don't know if you know what you're talking about.
00:27:45.000There's even evidence that women make better lawmakers.
00:27:48.000One study found that female lawmakers bring in 9% more federal spending for their constituents than their male counterparts.
00:27:55.000And that's on top of the fact that women lawmakers sponsor more bills than male legislators.
00:28:00.000So in case you're confused, yeah, Vox is saying that women make better lawmakers exclusively because they increase federal spending and bureaucracy and red tape.
00:28:27.000Yeah, but when you say it that way, you say it like it's a bad thing.
00:28:31.000The perfect example of Vox right here just assuming that everyone consuming any and all media is a far leftist.
00:28:37.000And this is why I just think there's this divide.
00:28:39.000It's not even because of people obviously trying to break down Tucker Carlson's door or Antifa dragging people out of cars and beating them up.
00:28:45.000It's because of an out-of-touchedness, a blind spot that is growing so large.
00:28:50.000I think they sat around and said, yeah, we really need to get people to vote for more women.
00:28:53.000Yeah, let's tell them that they spend more and create more bills and they care about climate change and not the military.
00:30:19.000Well, look, I wish they would have been supportive of women candidates, I don't know, maybe when Sarah Palin was running as the first vice presidential candidate.
00:31:10.000She's not a whore obviously, but I wish that the support would have been there.
00:31:13.000I mean the only thing that people could do when she was running for president was make fun of her.
00:31:17.000I thought that we would have the kind of, and I don't mean this in a bad way, but I thought if there was going to be a woman card, something that got women to go out and vote in a way that they hadn't for Republicans in a long time, it would have been the first vice presidential candidate that was a woman, that was a female.
00:31:33.000Because she wasn't super qualified and because John McCain wasn't a great candidate.
00:31:38.000Republican women actually care about qualifications and actually care if you represent their values.
00:31:42.000Now, that being said, I think Sarah Palin would have made a better vice president than Joe Biden, namely because she doesn't, you know, molest biker children.
00:31:49.000But on the other side, Cortez, she's not qualified.
00:32:22.000Out of the examples even that they use in there, I think they have Senator Marshall Blackburn, staunch conservative, I think led the investigation into Planned Parenthood.
00:32:30.000Remember the Salem Baby Parts, those videos?
00:32:32.000And then another one of those examples is that Omar lady, who is an extreme leftist Muslim, which might seem almost to be an oxymoron, loves abortion, hates Israel, and is opposed to cutting insurance payments of convicted terrorists.
00:33:50.000You can have wider birthing hips and not want 4,000 people coming from the Honduras and the Caribbean, invading your country, not wanting them showing up, knocking on the door and getting right in.
00:34:01.000You can be a woman and actually think all of these things.
00:34:04.000You can hold all of these values dear.
00:34:06.000But the left wants to, no, no, hold on a second.
00:34:08.000If you have oversized mammaries, I think men actually have mammaries.
00:34:12.000Apparently, apparently Steven Seagal's lactated.
00:34:15.000I read a story about how men apparently can lactate.
00:39:35.000As a character, Larry the Cable Guy, sometimes it's easier...
00:39:38.000I know when we do characters here on the show, sometimes you feel invincible because you're like, well, I'm not necessarily saying that.
00:39:43.000But I think it also surprised some people with some of your tweets recently talking about kind of comedy, the state we're in, the ability to make some cerebral points that maybe people... Yeah, go ahead.
00:39:54.000Look, I'm not a... Look, you're not an idiot to play an idiot.
00:39:59.000I mean, you gotta be pretty... Look at Steve Martin.
00:40:44.000They grew up in the lifestyle that I grew up in.
00:40:48.000And so, when I started doing stand-up, It was regular standup.
00:40:53.000I had, you know, in Steve Martin's book, Steve Martin in his book that he, I remember when he was talking about the process of standup and he says, it takes a good 10 years for you to really find out who you are and to be comfortable in what you're doing.
00:41:10.000You know, I, uh, I started doing characters and, and I did all kinds of characters.
00:41:16.000And then one night I did this cable installer and it was funny.
00:41:20.000And I remember after I got done doing it at the comedy corner in West Palm Beach that night, David Spade and Rob Schneider were there and I got done doing the character and they both came up to me and said, man, that's hilarious.
00:41:35.000That's what that could be a Saturday Night Live character.
00:45:12.000There's no funny conservative comedians.
00:45:15.000And even when you present them with facts, and the way I say facts is, here's how you can determine how a comedian is successful by the free market.
00:45:28.000The free market dictates who they think is funny and who they think isn't funny.
00:45:34.000And if you go by the free market, There's a lot of funny conservative comedians out there.
00:45:40.000And I even I even text out, you know, said they put out on the Internet a few years ago, the top 20 selling comedy artists in the history of the sound scan era.
00:46:16.000So when you look at the facts, obviously, there are Well I think, and this lends itself to kind of what else you were talking about, and where they sort of leverage this.
00:46:27.000The media right now, you talk about Netflix and Hulu and Amazon Prime, it's really dominated now, it's become kind of like three main networks again.
00:46:33.000And they're actively pushing, they're not going to include a lot of conservatives typically.
00:46:37.000We've had people on the show who've talked about that.
00:46:39.000What was this, just Nanette, was a recent special, what did she say?
00:46:43.000I'm not going to do jokes because there's nothing funny about being humiliated.
00:46:47.000Actually, there's a ton funny about being humiliated.
00:51:20.000Last question, subject to everyone's mind that we of course cannot talk about, but it occurred after we originally spoke about you coming on the program.
00:51:28.000You've been in the national news recently for a story that you probably didn't want to be.
00:51:33.000When you saw these images, when you read the news, were you surprised?
00:51:41.000And, you know, they said that, you know, and I got to say that They had like a get-her-done, somebody put a get-her-done on one of those things that were sent out in the mail.
00:51:54.000And it wasn't spelled right, first of all.
00:51:56.000I don't think get-her-done is usually spelled right, so at that point it's tomato-tomano.
00:52:05.000But you know, it just frustrates me and irritates me.
00:52:09.000Whoever does anything like that is pathetic and they should spend the rest of their life in jail.
00:52:14.000I you know, I the my phrase get her done has been around.
00:52:18.000I've been saying it since I had a copyrighted 91 and it's been used from everybody from Little League baseball teams to football teams to kids in hospitals.
00:52:29.000I don't know how many times that's been the rallying cry and cancer hospitals for these kids, but it's a great phrase.
00:52:37.000It's intended to be empowering for people that are We don't want to continue on that because we're not going to give him any more attention than it's worth.
00:52:50.000But it was, listen, it was the elephant outside the envelope that we had to address.
00:54:54.000It is surprisingly affordable, and it's what allows us to keep doing this show every single day, and things like Change My Mind, Crowder Confronts, you know, all the things that you've come to know and love.
00:55:02.000But if you don't want them, that's okay.
00:55:04.000We can just have Mahmood al-Mahmood take over, because I'm pretty sure that he's in a panel somewhere, some kind of a board with Susan Wojcicki.
00:57:20.000Main qualities, expert in Photoshop, also After Effects and Premiere.
00:57:25.000Needs to be a master at image comp, color correction, particularly something called... I don't know what photo bashing is exactly, but I know that it's a thing you need to know.
00:57:32.000Obviously, you have to be a fan of the show.
00:57:35.000Familiar with the show, have a congruent sense of humor, timing, and story flow through video editing and creative choices.
00:57:40.000So the reason we're being very specific here is because a lot of the times people send an email and go, I have no qualifications, I can't do any editing, but I really like the show.
00:57:47.000We're like, I appreciate it, but we can't necessarily hire you.
00:57:50.000We will have some PA positions opening up soon, and that's something that if you're less skilled in editing or you're less seasoned, we bring in a lot of people.
00:57:57.000As a matter of fact, you were effectively a PA when you first came in.
00:58:00.000Climbed something else you must be willing to relocate and soon if not don't waste the wonderful staff time here
00:58:07.000because they had to relocate They're in charge of relocating people if you don't have to
00:58:11.000be where the studio is located So if you if it's like well, I will I not relocate then
00:58:16.000this probably isn't the position for you You must be able to work under tight deadlines work
00:58:20.000This is still I'm steel manning you here as Owen puts it making
00:58:23.000This is the most difficult possible scenario because we don't want you to, we have too many, we have like hundreds and hundreds of resumes from the last time.
00:58:30.000So we're trying to filter this out because we want to find the right person to help the folks that are in the edit bay.
00:58:33.000Tight deadlines, work well with others, be capable of implementing constructive criticism.
00:58:37.000And listen, work long and hard until the project is done.
00:58:40.000This isn't the same, it's not like most workplaces.
00:58:42.000There aren't weekends if a project is not done because people want to kill you.
00:58:45.000So if all of this still sounds like you, This is what you need to do.
00:58:49.000You need to send an email to IAMYOUREXPERT at louderwithcrowder.com.
00:58:54.000You are to title your email, IAMTHEEXPERTYOUSEEK-2378.
00:59:02.000So again, quote, this is exactly what you sent, IAMTHEEXPERTYOUSEEK-2378.
00:59:07.000Include some sample Photoshops or examples of your incredible photo bashing skills along with a resume, reel or portfolio if you're mainly a Photoshop expert, and three reasons why you should be hired above Everyone else, failure to do so, failure to follow any of these instructions will result in immediate dismissal of your submission.
00:59:27.000Courtney was, but it was also very specific.
00:59:28.000She's like, I don't want to look through 500 more resumes, and if I see another dick pic, I'm like, I'm sorry, Courtney, that you had to go through that.
00:59:48.000We do have another Life Advice program that will be occurring, and I changed my mind, like we talked about.
00:59:53.000And this is something, actually, I had, kind of, this is the last segment of the week, which we often... I don't even know, it became, was it Crowder Closes?
01:00:03.000It's just something that we've done for a long time.
01:00:04.000The last segment of the week is kind of an opportunity to talk with you guys and hopefully offer something a little more earnest that other shows don't necessarily do.
01:00:11.000This is something I actually asked to have framed.
01:00:13.000I have this bookmarked on my computer.
01:00:17.000And I'm actually going forward and I'm going to have this framed in my office.
01:00:36.000Unmaking of a Conservative Pundit at Daily Beast.
01:00:38.000One of the biggest news websites at the time.
01:00:40.000And I remember her... This is when I learned about journalism, too, where things that I thought were off the record ended up being on the record.
01:00:47.000And this was entirely written to... I don't know why it was written.
01:01:25.000It was something I didn't really like to talk about for a while.
01:01:28.000So before this show would have existed or us, we were about to cross over the 3 million subscriber mark, it would be something that if anyone even brought up would sting.
01:01:35.000I don't really want to talk about that.
01:01:36.000That's one thing I will say I appreciate about President Donald Trump, because he has these hit pieces all the time.
01:03:03.000And we see envy is, like we talked about, the left is really, they cloak envy as empathy.
01:03:10.000And I think it's one of the most common human traits.
01:03:12.000It's the one that we need to guard our heart against probably the most is envy.
01:03:16.000I know certainly myself, I can't speak for anybody else, I know it's something that comes very naturally to be envious.
01:03:21.000How often do we see someone, I don't know, a starlet or a star, and you're like, oh man, they have it all, and then all of a sudden they go to rehab.
01:03:46.000The show that you see didn't even exist.
01:03:47.000The pre-daily show, remember, hashtag never daily, that didn't even exist.
01:03:51.000And not only is there something, you know, there's self-doubt that everybody has, but this journalist, I learned the hard way, this journalist, this authority figure, was publicly declaring me to be a wash-up.
01:04:05.000So I have the self-doubt going, like, maybe, man, you're 20, you're 25, and you've peaked.
01:04:09.000I don't know if you, I don't know what you go from.
01:04:11.000And then someone else is saying, hey, the whole world, front page, he's peaked.
01:04:34.000There's nothing more crushing, I will tell you, that's why I have this here, and that's why I will have it framed in my office, to remind me there's nothing more crushing than having someone else publicly confirm your self-doubt.
01:04:45.000You can take it to a smaller... Maybe, I don't know, you're self-conscious about your weight and someone tells you to get on a treadmill, you fat bastard.
01:05:46.000By the way, I won't say they're entirely wrong.
01:05:48.000You can let it crush you, or you can say, screw them.
01:05:51.000Maybe you break off from the world's most successful cable news channel, and you're filled with crippling fear and doubt because you don't know the next step.
01:05:59.000And then maybe a front-page journalist declares you dead to the world.
01:06:29.000Make no mistake, right now when everyone else, I think this is why I talk about this so often, when they're calling for civility, and they're calling for unity, I'm not.
01:06:37.000I'm not calling for violence, I'm not calling for rudeness, but I am calling for everyone who's out there who's been silent, or who's scared, or who's been mocked, or intimidated, who's been accused, I don't know, of being a gang rapist, you don't need to hold hands and sing, screw them!
01:08:06.000You're going, man, I don't know what I can do for the rest of my life.
01:08:09.000I've got nine months here where I've got to sit and just kind of stew on this decision and hope that I stepped out in faith and hope that it's right.
01:08:16.000And someone calls up and says, hey, you know what?
01:08:17.000I'm doing a piece, a profile piece on you.
01:08:55.000You can choose to let someone else not only dictate the next chapter of your life, not only write the next portion of your book, but you can choose to let someone stop you from writing it yourself.
01:09:11.000It's certainly not any less virtuous than this idea of unity out there that we try to feign as though we're going to find common ground with people who want us dead, with people who want us completely incapable of seeking gainful employment, people who want the world to think that we're gang rapists.
01:09:26.000I think that you sit down, determine what you want in life, chart a course, make a plan, And if the people don't fit in with that plan, if these people are trying to stop you from reaching your goal, guess what?
