00:00:00.000 Hey, your regularly scheduled programming will start in a minute.

00:00:03.000 My half-Asian lawyer Bill Richman is here.

00:00:05.000 Wanted to give you an update.

00:00:06.000 Some news?

00:00:07.000 We have some news.

00:00:08.000 So, if you remember, our Dr. Trump video was taken down.

00:00:11.000 A copyright claim.

00:00:12.000 Digital Millennium Copyright Act claim by Warner Chappelle.

00:00:16.000 And it's over.

00:00:17.000 It's back up.

00:00:18.000 Go see the video.

00:00:19.000 It is back up.

00:00:20.000 That means that there are no strikes on our channel and we're going to re-upload it because we re-uploaded it as a separate clip with a new intro.

00:00:26.000 Some more updates coming next week.

00:00:27.000 Thank you guys so much.

00:00:28.000 Of course, your support at Mug Club is what makes this possible and to have this very expensive lawyer on retainer. 0.65

00:00:33.000 And we'll be moving to a new space here as well.

00:00:35.000 Updates on that.

00:00:36.000 And then we'll be doing more Golden Tickets hiring.

00:00:38.000 Golden Ticket hirings?

00:00:39.000 I don't know.

00:00:40.000 Enjoy the show.

00:01:36.000 Uh, Maverick?

00:01:39.000 Looks like you have company on your tail.

00:01:40.000 When did Zuckerberg get here?

00:01:42.000 As long as there are people spreading misinformation, this is going to be an ongoing conflict.

00:01:46.000 Well, this complicates things.

00:01:52.000 Seems like my invite got lost in the mail.

00:01:54.000 Too cute, Mattie! 0.99

00:01:55.000 Tell them to put the Zima on ice. 0.98

00:01:57.000 Now the party's started.

00:01:59.000 I got a call that some boys were trying to do a woman's job.

00:02:02.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:02:03.000 I've heard it all before.

00:02:38.000 Ah, hell.

00:02:40.000 Looks like you have a Wachowski on your file.

00:02:44.000 We have community guidelines.

00:02:46.000 Anything that promotes hate, we will take it down.

00:02:48.000 This day just keeps getting better and better.

00:02:51.000 I wouldn't be so sure.

00:02:53.000 I can't shake her!

00:02:56.000 Aw, shoot! 1.00

00:02:57.000 She's locked onto me!

00:03:40.000 Hey Jack, you know the difference between precedent and precedence?

00:03:49.000 I don't have answers to that.

00:03:50.000 Because I'm about to set one. 1.00

00:03:54.000 Right on your ass. 1.00

00:03:59.000 Ha ha ha! 1.00

00:04:00.000 He got all of that one!

00:04:16.000 Me.

00:04:17.000 Don't worry boys.

00:04:24.000 Looks like I'm gonna have to do this the old-fashioned way.

00:04:51.000 Do you read me, Half-Asian lawyer Bill Richmond? 0.69

00:04:55.000 You boys didn't think you could get rid of me that easy, did you?

00:04:58.000 Half-Asian Bill, you're alive! 1.00

00:05:02.000 Yeah!

00:05:02.000 We thought you were a goner, Half-Asian Bill!

00:05:04.000 And miss all those fillable hours?

00:05:06.000 Not a chance!

00:05:09.000 I'm just glad you're okay.

00:05:11.000 Just checked your laddy a long ago.

00:05:13.000 Looks like you'll be landing in Palo Alto before beer clock.

00:05:17.000 Palo Alto? 1.00

00:05:21.000 Oh, shit. 1.00

00:05:22.000 I'm far away to hell. 1.00

00:05:24.000 I'm fading to blue. 0.96

00:05:26.000 I'm running to hell. 1.00

00:05:30.000 You're a strange animal. 1.00

00:05:48.000 That's what I know. 1.00

00:05:50.000 I know. 1.00

00:05:52.000 You're a strange animal. 0.93

00:05:54.000 I got to follow.

00:05:56.000 I'm a species.

00:06:00.000 You you

00:06:04.000 That's called a man who took the old KFC ads too literally.

00:06:06.000 You're not supposed to actually consume your fingers, Harold.

00:06:11.000 Very good.

00:06:11.000 We have Ben Shapiro on the show today.

00:06:13.000 What we're talking about is the BBC controversy, the walkout controversy.

00:06:16.000 Everyone has some opinions.

00:06:17.000 Tweet in yours.

00:06:19.000 In third chair, of course, is our half-Asian Larry Bill Richmond.

00:06:22.000 How are you?

00:06:22.000 Hello, friends.

00:06:23.000 Thank you very much.

00:06:24.000 How are you, Quarterback Garrett Hoodpest?

00:06:26.000 What's up, dawg?

00:06:27.000 And that's terrible.

00:06:28.000 I'm embarrassed.

00:06:29.000 That was way better than last time.

00:06:31.000 No, it's not.

00:06:32.000 Don't give him that.

00:06:32.000 Mirrorball rosé, my friend.

00:06:35.000 But it's yellow.

00:06:35.000 It doesn't look pink at all.

00:06:37.000 It is pink.

00:06:38.000 I think it's turned.

00:06:39.000 I don't see it at all.

00:06:40.000 The idea that wine only gets better.

00:06:42.000 Don't agree with it.

00:06:43.000 But a 20-year-old rosé.

00:06:45.000 What's your question of the day?

00:06:46.000 What's been your experience here with the recent abortion bills discussing it?

00:06:49.000 Seems like people just want to, their minds are exploding on social media, but I want to know what it's been like for you in the day-to-day, and what do you think about the Alabama and Georgia abortion laws?

00:06:59.000 I'm genuinely curious.

00:07:00.000 Seems like there are people on all sides here.

00:07:02.000 Did I give it away?

00:07:03.000 There you go.

00:07:05.000 Oops.

00:07:06.000 I was trying to foreshadow.

00:07:07.000 You're just like, this is how it ends!

00:07:09.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:07:10.000 I just skipped to the end, man.

00:07:11.000 Let's get right to it.

00:07:11.000 All right.

00:07:12.000 This week, Elizabeth Warren refused a Fox News Town Hall invite. 0.96

00:07:15.000 In case you didn't know, by the way, we're going to be talking about the abortion law.

00:07:18.000 I don't know if I said that.

00:07:18.000 The question should have been alluding to it.

00:07:20.000 Unless Gerald Lew the whole deal off.

00:07:22.000 OK, this comes from Politico.

00:07:23.000 The 2020 candidate denounced the cable network as a, quote, hate for profit racket that gives a megaphone to racists and conspiracists.

00:07:29.000 What?

00:07:30.000 Not hyperbolic at all.

00:07:31.000 Instead she's doing more low-key town halls like this random clip you see on a bus That literally you don't have to be yes, that's Geraldus looking embarrassed for her She's just like you Yeah Her Instagram is my wife's favorite thing. 0.63

00:07:51.000 If ever I walk by the living room, my wife is going, like this, watching.

00:07:56.000 Oh, is it Elizabeth Warren's Instagram?

00:07:58.000 She goes, yeah, and the Hodgetwins just commented on it, and this is rough.

00:08:01.000 That's why they made the word cringe.

00:08:03.000 If you listen, we actually have an exclusive audio leak.

00:08:06.000 There were different angles, and if you listen, not everyone was thrilled.

00:08:11.000 There she goes again. 1.00

00:08:12.000 You suck! 1.00

00:08:15.000 Hey lady, make like Rosa Parks and sit the f*** down! 1.00

00:08:19.000 Turning to entertainment, PBS's Arthur... 0.99

00:08:23.000 Mr. Ratburn, the teacher, he came out as gay and got married on the season 22 premiere.

00:08:27.000 This comes from TV Line.

00:08:28.000 The news comes out in an episode titled Mr. Ratburn and the Special Someone.

00:08:33.000 Now, this comes as little surprise to most with longtime fans.

00:08:36.000 They're setting Mr. Ratburn's obsession with cleanliness, fashion.

00:08:38.000 In episode 246, Mr. Ratburn gets AIDS.

00:08:42.000 That one was in which Spinky also controversially joined ISIS, which seems as though it was kind of a giveaway.

00:08:47.000 So it seems, yeah, it seems a little bit, um...

00:08:49.000 What did you get?

00:08:51.000 Uh...

00:08:53.000 Oh...

00:09:05.000 So...

00:09:07.000 What is that, um...

00:09:09.000 I don't know, we just found it in the studio.

00:09:11.000 It's a Seagull button.

00:09:12.000 Seagull?

00:09:13.000 Yeah.

00:09:13.000 Yeah, go.

00:09:20.000 Yeah.

00:09:27.000 In international news, uh...

00:09:32.000 free bikes are being given out to fat people by the NHS.

00:09:35.000 This comes from the Mirror in the UK there.

00:09:36.000 Regular cycling is more effective at cutting the risk of heart disease than many drugs, so the NHS is giving out bike rides based on a prescription basis. 0.99

00:09:45.000 A lot of people are praising the move, Fitness, though there are actually some detractors claiming that this quote further stigmatizes fat people, with others complaining that quote, these bikes taste like shit. 0.99

00:09:58.000 I kind of think we're too stupid to live at some point. 0.99

00:10:01.000 Like, all these, like, salt regulations and sugar regulations, like, they're doing everything they can to make us not die. 1.00

00:10:06.000 They ate the bikes.

00:10:07.000 Did you catch them?

00:10:10.000 Oh, the tuffy is delicious!

00:10:14.000 I prefer fixies! 0.99

00:10:19.000 I hate all of you! 0.99

00:10:19.000 I saw a big town rush! 0.99

00:10:22.000 Was that the one with Joseph Gordon-Levitt on a fixed evening?

00:10:24.000 I don't know.

00:10:25.000 Hey, by the way, Stick with International News Business Insider just recently published a profile on Mohammed bin Salman, the Crown's Prince.

00:10:32.000 He's become a controversial figure.

00:10:34.000 Particularly in the fall of 2018, when he faced a global outcry over the death, of course, of Jamal Khashoggi.

00:10:39.000 We don't want to judge, though, he's trying to reform Islam, and that's a very challenging task.

00:10:44.000 Sponsor to the show, and we're very grateful, of course, that will have no effect at all on our editorial decisions.

00:10:49.000 According to Vice, by the way, it's problematic that medical textbooks overwhelmingly use pictures of young white men since the latest.

00:10:57.000 So, according to the author, depicting the same body over and over again as white, male, and athletic isn't the best way to teach future doctors.

00:11:04.000 She pointed to renowned medical journals that have been published, such as the New England Journal of Medicine, the Journal of Aging and Health, and the DSM 14 words, which seems like that's not the guy who's there to help you.

00:11:16.000 No wonder they have a problem with this. 0.96

00:11:19.000 Oh my gosh, you know if it was full of black guys, it'd be like, that's right, another black brother dead in a book. 1.00

00:11:23.000 You're just showing dead black guys. 1.00

00:11:24.000 What? 0.99

00:11:24.000 They would have a problem either way. 0.99

00:11:25.000 What are you talking about?

00:11:26.000 That's exactly what I mean.

00:11:27.000 Renounce, renounce, renounce.

00:11:30.000 That's what they would say.

00:11:31.000 I don't think you get what the 14 words are.

00:11:34.000 You wouldn't have tied that bit there.

00:11:36.000 I mean, I didn't go to medical school, but I'm pretty sure a lot of those pictures are guys without skin on.

00:11:42.000 But I can tell those muscles look white.

00:11:44.000 Why does it matter?

00:11:45.000 I have no idea.

00:11:47.000 It's not white.

00:11:48.000 You can tell by the tibias.

00:11:49.000 Finally, a child discovered, and the gate, notably, that it's slow.

00:11:54.000 Wow.

00:11:54.000 Child discovered $40,000 worth of meth inside a box of Legos.

00:11:59.000 What?

00:12:00.000 Yeah, this comes from Huffington Post, because that's...

00:12:02.000 That's about what we use them for.

00:12:05.000 That's what they're for, I mean, let's be honest.

00:12:06.000 Free women, they actually, they found the box at a consignment shop and they gave it to a small child who opened the box.

00:12:12.000 According to the article, was likely very disappointed.

00:12:16.000 Or was he?

00:12:16.000 I'm not convinced.

00:12:18.000 Whoa! 0.71

00:12:18.000 Awesome! 0.71

00:12:20.000 Yeah!

00:12:22.000 Pew pew pew pew pew!

00:12:24.000 Pew!

00:12:26.000 Pew!

00:12:28.000 For the first time, Lego has joined forces with

00:12:32.000 Meth Amphetamine, so that you too can save the world!

00:12:36.000 Oh Oh, no!

00:12:41.000 Lego methamphetamine.

00:12:43.000 Yes, you're unstoppable.

00:12:51.000 I'm sorry.

00:12:59.000 These human interest stories, I just love them.

00:13:01.000 I just love them.

00:13:02.000 How much is 40?

00:13:03.000 How do you have to speak for Granny Mac? 0.87

00:13:05.000 I think that's my favorite Mac Smith VA kid.

00:13:08.000 Toothless toddler on toothless toddler Mac.

00:13:12.000 It makes it so much more fun.

00:13:17.000 So much more.

00:13:18.000 And by the way, uh...

00:13:21.000 Because a lot of this has been demonetized, we have a new YouTube channel.

00:13:23.000 If you want to subscribe to it, Crowder Bits.

00:13:25.000 It's a YouTube channel.

00:13:26.000 I didn't pick the name.

00:13:27.000 We just upload.

00:13:28.000 That'll probably go up there.

00:13:29.000 A lot of you have been asking for bits, sketches, or kind of short segments that maybe sometimes you want to share, and you don't want to necessarily use the whole show.

00:13:36.000 So let us know what you want to see up at Crowder Bits.

00:13:39.000 Again, I didn't name it.

00:13:40.000 Last week's trivia contest winner was Timberley Rigel, So correct me if I'm wrong, Colton Wade's significant other is Josephine.

00:13:46.000 That's right.

00:13:47.000 So we're going to be sending you a t-shirt and a half-Asian Bill's helmet, his Top Gun helmet, because he refused to put it on. 0.96

00:13:52.000 Don't send that.

00:13:53.000 That's a great helmet.

00:13:54.000 I know.

00:13:54.000 No.

00:13:55.000 No.

00:13:57.000 At first, you did a great job, Corda Black, Garrett.

00:13:59.000 He does a lot of the props, but the half, the one and the two are very far away from the dividing line.

00:14:04.000 I had to make the space up.

00:14:05.000 I couldn't quite tell.

00:14:07.000 I thought I was counting Asians to go to sleep. 1.00

00:14:11.000 There it is.

00:14:11.000 A little sweat on the inside.

00:14:13.000 That's it.

00:14:14.000 None of them are girls, by the way.

00:14:16.000 Counting.

00:14:17.000 One boy Asian. 0.87

00:14:18.000 Two boy Asian.

00:14:20.000 Oh, there's a disappointment.

00:14:21.000 First time.

00:14:22.000 Hey, you're wrong.

00:14:23.000 They're all disappointments.

00:14:26.000 All right.

00:14:26.000 God, they're all disappointments.

00:14:29.000 So we want to hear from you, and I'm really glad that half-Asian lawyer Bill Richman is here because we'll be talking about the abortion laws.

00:14:34.000 This has been trending for two days now.

00:14:36.000 And, of course, Georgia and Alabama.

00:14:38.000 There's been so much misinformation out there.

00:14:41.000 It really has been driving me nuts.

00:14:42.000 And I don't just want to say, oh, it's driving me crazy.

00:14:45.000 It's wrong.

00:14:45.000 I want to let you know as to why it's incorrect.

00:14:49.000 And I want to know what, I guess, intellectual fallacies you've seen most out there.

00:14:53.000 So here are a couple of claims that I've seen most.

00:14:56.000 One of them, let's go right off the bat.

00:14:59.000 They've been claiming everywhere, by the way.

00:15:01.000 And AOC kind of claimed it, but it was people said they misinterpreted her tweet.

00:15:05.000 I don't know, I'll give it to her borderline.

00:15:07.000 You don't need AOC on this one because everyone else has been saying that these laws constitute jailing women for murder. 1.00

00:15:15.000 If a Georgia resident plans to travel elsewhere to obtain an abortion, when she comes back, she could face 10 years imprisonment.

00:15:22.000 Don't you love how one said 10 and one said 30?

00:15:26.000 Whom are you going to imprison?

00:15:27.000 Every woman who's had a fertilized egg pass through her? 1.00

00:15:30.000 I don't know, Mr. Mechanical Engineer Guy.

00:15:35.000 But specifically because they've kind of thrown in Georgia and Alabama, but they both specifically criminalize the act of performing the abortion outside of the listed parameters. 0.65

00:15:46.000 Exactly.

00:15:46.000 That would be a difference.

00:15:47.000 They're just actually calling abortion what it is, right?

00:15:50.000 They're calling abortion something that is ending a human life now and saying that there might be a penalty for performing that.

00:15:55.000 Well, they very clearly express banning the person who's performing the abortion, which brings us actually to their subsequent claim that the Georgia bill, they claim, has loose language that could maybe lead to the prosecution of women who take an abortion pill or who travel to other states or who even miscarry.

00:16:10.000 This is one we've been hearing a lot.

00:16:11.000 Miscarriage under these laws. 1.00

00:16:12.000 How stupid is that? 1.00

00:16:13.000 Well, here's the thing. 1.00

00:16:14.000 I've been doing a lot of research since four in the morning, so I'm not that sharp today.

00:16:19.000 But even in the scary old pseudo handmade tale days, and I know it's this post-apocalyptic future, but I don't, I stopped watching after episode two, okay?

00:16:26.000 Hold your hate mail. 0.99

00:16:27.000 I couldn't do it when they were saying like, slut shame, slut shame, slut shame. 0.99

00:16:31.000 That's literally, was that what they were saying? 1.00

00:16:32.000 Shame, they were shouting shame, shame, shame, shame.

00:16:35.000 I'm like, what?

00:16:36.000 This is, she was banging Don Draper.

00:16:39.000 That's where I know her.

00:16:41.000 And she was the president's daughter.

00:16:42.000 If you go back to, let's say, a real... Before Roe v. Wade, okay? 0.81

00:16:48.000 Maybe Handmaid's Tale.

00:16:48.000 I don't want to get bogged down in the details.

00:16:50.000 Crappy show.

00:16:51.000 There have only been two recorded incidents of women being charged with any kind of crime associated with their abortion, okay?

00:16:57.000 One was in 1911 and one was in 1922.

00:17:01.000 Unless I'm wrong about this, throughout the entire history of Anglo-American Western law, only one woman was ever charged with the crime of self-abortion.

00:17:10.000 That specific crime, 1599.

00:17:12.000 You have to go back to the 1500s.

00:17:14.000 No woman ever in the history of modern Western law, as far as I know, let me know if I'm wrong, has been charged with a crime for miscarrying.

00:17:24.000 Yeah.

00:17:25.000 I've not seen it.

00:17:26.000 Do you know?

00:17:27.000 Again, $15.99 one time.

00:17:29.000 At one point it was, well, you know, maybe before Roe v. Wade people weren't being locked in a slammer because they were taking a pill.

00:17:36.000 That's not what was happening.

00:17:37.000 You got to kind of reach far back to find something like that.

00:17:40.000 1599 that's crazy the argument that would be made to it is like oh my gosh

00:17:44.000 They're gonna have back alley abortions and she's people are gonna do self abortions now so that they can get around 1.00

00:17:48.000 it look I would rather deal. I know this is gonna sound harsh. I

00:17:50.000 would rather deal with back alley issues I would rather deal with people wanting to do their own

00:17:55.000 abortions and find ways to figure that out Then deal with a killing spree that we have right now, 1.00

00:17:59.000 right?

00:17:59.000 Yeah, I would rather deal with those things look if you are so afraid

00:18:03.000 I don't want I don't want to deal with any of it So I don't want to say I agree people are going to take

00:18:06.000 that out of context and say oh you're saying you want that No, I'm not saying that I want back alley. I'm saying if

00:18:09.000 you're giving me a choice I'm gonna look at the mortality rates for pregnant women up 0.97

00:18:12.000 until Roe v. Wade. It was very very low There were not a lot of self-performed abortions. Did it 0.97

00:18:17.000 happen? Yeah, but it's not like that. What was that to me more film?

00:18:20.000 I just forgot it. It's something about a house you're talking about. Yeah, there's a house and all the different

00:18:23.000 women had abortions Yeah, it's fun for the whole family

00:18:26.000 But look I think I think if you are so scared that you are willing to go out and have an abortion by a doctor that

00:18:32.000 You have no idea if it's clean if it's sanitary if it's safe or you're willing to try to perform an abortion on 0.99

00:18:36.000 yourself Maybe stop before having sex or use contraception. This is

00:18:41.000 not rocket science If it's that impactful for you... Sounds to me like you're condoning rape. 0.75

00:18:45.000 Bill, it looks like you're hitting your light there.

00:18:48.000 Legally, he's wrong.

00:18:49.000 But I'm right there with you in the terms of if you have a legitimate concern about people performing self-abortions, let's say that you see abortion as one of those options so that they can do it in a safe, clean environment, but you should also be in favor of the other ways to prevent abortions from happening or being necessary, such as abstinence.

00:19:10.000 Or through other means.

00:19:12.000 Contraceptives, yeah.

00:19:12.000 Yeah, contraceptives, that type of thing.

00:19:13.000 And so, you know, I get it.

00:19:14.000 There's definitely going to be some on the right who have said that they're against contraceptives because it encourages sex.

00:19:19.000 And that's one view.

00:19:21.000 It's not a mainstream view.

00:19:22.000 It's not a mainstream view. 1.00

00:19:23.000 It's stupid. 0.99

00:19:23.000 But that's the point is that, you know, but it's not okay to be in favor of abstinence or to say that abstinence is a legitimate way to not have to have an abortion. 0.99

00:19:31.000 Yeah.

00:19:31.000 It's the only legitimate way.

00:19:32.000 It's the only guarantee.

00:19:33.000 It's the only guarantee.

00:19:34.000 They're like, abstinence only doesn't work.

00:19:36.000 Abstinence only works.

00:19:38.000 I think you're confusing, you're moving the words around.

00:19:40.000 Now I'm not saying we only teach people about abstinence, but if you do want to teach them, the only way to avoid an STD, STI, or unplanned pregnancy, the only way is abstinence!

00:19:47.000 It's guaranteed.

00:19:48.000 Nothing else is foolproof.

00:19:49.000 And thank you Alyssa Milano for the sex strike. 1.00

00:19:50.000 That's fantastic.

00:19:51.000 She is saving people from having to have abortions right now. 1.00

00:19:54.000 Luverderm and old episodes of Charm for Her Husband!

00:19:58.000 Sweetie, you gave away too much of it for free!

00:20:00.000 I can hold out!

00:20:01.000 It's like the hockey strike!

00:20:02.000 By the way, hit the notification bell.

00:20:04.000 Some Midwesterners love that hockey reference.

00:20:07.000 Bookmark the page because notification bells don't mean a whole lot if you're subscribed.

00:20:09.000 Of course, join Mug Club and iTunes.

00:20:12.000 Leave a review rating there.

00:20:14.000 Here's another thing, too, that people have been saying, that it's just right-wing extremism and that it's completely unprecedented.

00:20:19.000 That's actually from Salon.

00:20:20.000 They actually wrote about how they will try to put you in jail for misc.

00:20:23.000 This actually, this is something I think people don't understand.

00:20:26.000 We have pretty liberal laws regarding abortion.

00:20:28.000 The majority of European countries actually have abortion bans after 12 weeks, and a lot of them require a waiting period after consulting with a doctor.

00:20:36.000 Yeah, well, I mean...

00:20:37.000 God forbid you have to wait five days before you potentially end a human life.

00:20:40.000 And so there's some really cool, just stay with me for a second.

00:20:42.000 Gallup did some really interesting studies on this.

00:20:44.000 Everybody thinks that the abortion is, pro-choice is by far the thing that people want.

00:20:48.000 No, it's really about 48-48 right now.

00:20:50.000 And even then it's using the most broad terminology.

00:20:51.000 In the broad terminology, right.

00:20:52.000 So if you drill down, people actually say that they would rather have it legal under some circumstances.

00:20:57.000 And the people that are in favor, 50%, roughly 50% some circumstances.

00:21:02.000 Around 29% say under any.

00:21:04.000 So that's even a smaller group.

00:21:05.000 The people that say under certain circumstances, 38% of that group, plus throughout history, back into the early 90s, said in very limited situations.

00:21:15.000 If you drill down into the numbers, there are not that many people out there who actually favor under any circumstance abortions.

00:21:20.000 Right.

00:21:21.000 But they make you, the media makes you think.

00:21:22.000 They're just on Twitter.

00:21:23.000 That's just in the plus or minus margin of error and really just Elizabeth Warren with a meat cleaver and a baby at the end of the table. 1.00

00:21:28.000 We eliminated her. 1.00

00:21:29.000 It skewed the polling data.

00:21:31.000 Geez.

00:21:33.000 Rasmussen didn't think it was valid.

00:21:35.000 That's a voter we won't get.

00:21:36.000 I don't understand this.

00:21:37.000 I don't understand this, though, either.

00:21:38.000 At least it's intellectually consistent for these people who say, abortion, period, on demand, no questions asked.

00:21:43.000 Because to me, either it's a tragedy, or why should it be rare?

00:21:48.000 Exactly.

00:21:48.000 Who cares?

00:21:49.000 Why would you want it to be?

00:21:50.000 Does anyone want pap smears to be rare?

00:21:51.000 Nope.

00:21:51.000 No.

00:21:51.000 Does anyone want doctor checkups to be rare?

00:21:53.000 No.

00:21:53.000 Does anyone want people removing swollen tonsils to be rare?

00:21:56.000 No.

00:21:57.000 So either it's a tragedy, or who cares whether it's rare?

00:22:01.000 So I'm glad that at least right now we're having this conversation openly and honestly.

00:22:05.000 Another claim, this is a big fear-mongering claim from the left, and it's not entirely, by the way, unfounded, that this is going to 100% lead to the overturning of Roe v. Wade.

00:22:14.000 Setting up a potential showdown in the highest court of the land.

00:22:17.000 Obama's new abortion law, the strictest in our country, is setting up a direct challenge to Roe versus Wade.

00:22:23.000 Donald Trump said in the third debate with Hillary Clinton, if I get two or more appointments to the Supreme Court, automatically, that's the word he used, automatically Roe v. Wade will be overturned.

00:22:34.000 And I think the president was exactly right.

00:22:37.000 Roe v. Wade is gone.

00:22:38.000 Not according to Kavanaugh.

00:22:40.000 And every woman in Alabama who gets pregnant is going to be forced to give birth soon. 1.00

00:22:45.000 Okay, so here's the thing.

00:22:48.000 Forced, oh no.

00:22:50.000 Some people would like to see it overturned, probably a lot in Alabama.

00:22:53.000 We know for a fact, yes, a lot in Alabama.

00:22:55.000 That's a separate issue from the argument.

00:22:57.000 There's a few common misconceptions about Roe v. Wade and what would happen if it were overturned.

00:23:03.000 All states place restrictions, or most states place restrictions, regulations on abortions outside of the federal purview.

00:23:08.000 Texas, they wanted to ban abortion after 20 weeks, which Elizabeth Warren famously opposed because she's a moral lady. 0.99

00:23:15.000 Everyone has the hill they're willing to die on.

00:23:18.000 What's yours?

00:23:19.000 The hill littered with dead babies.

00:23:21.000 Yeah, it's the dying hill.

00:23:23.000 That's why I thought it was most appropriate.

00:23:25.000 The hill I want to die on is the dying hill.

00:23:29.000 Colorado, 34 weeks.

00:23:31.000 Virginia, 25 weeks.

00:23:32.000 And these laws often make... Bill, you probably know about this.

00:23:35.000 Half-Asian Bill. 0.89

00:23:36.000 They make it to higher courts.

00:23:37.000 Yeah, so there's truth to that.

00:23:38.000 Yeah, they do.

00:23:39.000 I mean, the case itself allows to have different restrictions based on the trimesters.

00:23:44.000 That was the kind of fundamental, you know, practical application of it.

00:23:47.000 And so we have always, since Roe vs. Wade, had limitations.

00:23:50.000 And really, again, I think it goes back to your point, which is where if you really do think it's as easy as clipping a nail and it's as, you know, morally irrelevant as clipping a fingernail then you should just be you're probably more consistent to just say it should be allowed always.

00:24:04.000 Right.

00:24:05.000 And in these other states essentially to say oh that Roe versus Wade may be challenged well Roe versus Wade was a is a very complex opinion it sets different types of restrictions at different trimesters and it also has a certain basis in the 14th amendment the right to privacy and so you can you can maybe parse some of those.

00:24:20.000 Can you explain that because that's something a lot of people don't No, they think that Roe v. Wade says there's a constitutional right to abortion, and they think that in the Constitution there's some interpreted right to abortion.

00:24:30.000 So what the 14th Amendment, which was the basis of the opinion, is saying that yes, here you have the Constitution through the Bill of Rights which says Or rather through an amendment, it wasn't in the Bill of Rights.

00:24:41.000 But to say you can have a right of privacy, which that word isn't actually there, but it's interpreted as one of the rights that are broadly enumerated in the 14th Amendment.

00:24:49.000 And then from that derivative right, right to privacy, you then have a further derivative, sub-derivative right, that says that your body and being able to do what you were going to do with your body.

00:24:59.000 And I think intellectually, at a very high level, a lot of people wouldn't understand.

00:25:02.000 I mean, there's a lot of libertarian fans of the show who would say, your right to privacy allows you to put in your body whatever you want, or to be able to do with your body whatever you want.

00:25:10.000 So it's not like that entire spectrum of arguments doesn't make sense.

00:25:12.000 No, and by the way, I think that's a valid argument.

00:25:14.000 I think libertarians, you say, not only do I think pot should be legal, but I think someone should be able to shoot heroin in their house if they want to.

00:25:20.000 I think it's very hard to argue against that constitutionally.

00:25:22.000 It's a compelling argument.

00:25:24.000 But the difference becomes when, for example, you have a different heartbeat.

00:25:28.000 You're hurting someone else in there, and where you draw a line, again, under the libertarian philosophy, you would draw a line where you're hurting someone else and those types of things.

00:25:36.000 And that's where, even on the question of what you have a right to privacy for, your right to privacy doesn't extend to what you can do to other people.

00:25:44.000 No, it's a really, really loose Not tied there.

00:25:47.000 Even Ruth Bader Ginsburg, who's likely dead, admitted that Roe v. Wade is a byproduct of quote, heavy judicial interventionism.

00:25:54.000 That's what she said, okay?

00:25:56.000 So I want to make sure that people understand.

00:25:57.000 Her own words.

00:25:58.000 Yes. 0.61

00:25:59.000 And she's dead.

00:26:00.000 This is Weekend at Bernie's all over again.

00:26:07.000 This is more so a generalized claim.

00:26:10.000 We hear about abortion a lot, but they have been banging on all cylinders when it comes to this one here.

00:26:15.000 These two laws specifically, that this is about regulating a woman's body. 1.00

00:26:19.000 There's no law like this against men.

00:26:22.000 Democratic woman in the legislature tried to fight back. 1.00

00:26:25.000 State Senator Vivian Figures introduced an amendment to make vasectomies a felony, noting that there are no laws regulating what a man can do with his body.

00:26:35.000 That's screechy.

00:26:35.000 Who are you to tell me what to do with my body?

00:26:39.000 It's my decision.

00:26:40.000 It's not yours. 0.78

00:26:44.000 Wait, hold on a second.

00:26:45.000 Men can have no say? 1.00

00:26:46.000 None?

00:26:47.000 In what women do with their bodies? 1.00

00:26:48.000 So you want to undo Roe v. Wade?

00:26:52.000 Who was filling the courts, sweetheart? 1.00

00:26:54.000 You want to lose the right to vote?

00:26:55.000 Because who gave you that one?

00:26:56.000 Many of you didn't even want it!

00:26:58.000 You didn't want bucket duty in the draft! 0.61

00:27:00.000 By the way, there are plenty of laws like this that apply to men.

00:27:03.000 Here's actually something.

00:27:04.000 Let me ask you this.

00:27:04.000 Can you name me, genuinely, a comparable instance where it doesn't?

00:27:09.000 So, they compare a vasectomy, right, to the heartbeat bill.

00:27:12.000 Vasectomy, it's your appendage. 1.00

00:27:13.000 It's your DNA.

00:27:14.000 You can do what you want with your body.

00:27:15.000 Just as, by the way, no one out there cares about you getting your tubes tied.

00:27:19.000 No one out there cares about getting a pap smear.

00:27:20.000 This one leftist was tweeting on Twitter, like, oh, so now we're going to have laws about men are going to decide what we do with our pap smears, how often? 0.99

00:27:28.000 Why do you think it is that none of us care about any of those things?

00:27:28.000 Well, hold on a second.

00:27:32.000 Because a vasectomy is not ending a heartbeat.

00:27:36.000 By the way, not yours.

00:27:37.000 Another heartbeat.

00:27:38.000 So let me ask you this.

00:27:40.000 If we all acknowledge, when we're talking about a heartbeat, Bill, that you're stopping a heartbeat, and it's not the mom's heartbeat.

00:27:45.000 The mom doesn't have two hearts. 0.99

00:27:46.000 She's not a medical marvel.

00:27:49.000 At least most of them, right?

00:27:50.000 I would think so.

00:27:51.000 Dr. Ben Carson isn't having to come in and separate all of them.

00:27:55.000 So my question to you is, if you're ending a heartbeat...

00:27:58.000 Whose heartbeat are you ending?

00:28:01.000 And can you point me to any instance, any example, where a man can legally stop the heartbeat of another human being?

00:28:09.000 Innocent, non-violent, let's not get into war here.

00:28:11.000 Can you name me any example?

00:28:12.000 More importantly, can you name me one example that would allow men to do that exclusively?

00:28:17.000 Meaning men would be allowed to stop someone else's heartbeat and women wouldn't be. 0.78

00:28:22.000 That's the only way that your argument holds water.

00:28:25.000 Or the other argument, what about a man should have an equal right?

00:28:29.000 If it's equality, right?

00:28:30.000 As opposed to just one gender over the other, or flipping the script so that one is taking advantage of the other.

00:28:36.000 Again, if you even assume that the opposite is true, would that mean that a man has an equal right to say, hey, we had sex, you definitely have to take Plan B?

00:28:45.000 And if you have a face in you, you definitely have to get rid of it.

00:28:48.000 I mean, that extension, that right, has to extend to a man if you're gonna follow that track.

00:28:53.000 No, but it's her body. 1.00

00:28:54.000 How dare you?

00:28:55.000 Well, right.

00:28:56.000 I mean, and then you say, oh, well, it's her body.

00:28:57.000 Okay, fine.

00:28:58.000 There's a reason why you have to stop and say, stop its heartbeat.

00:29:02.000 Stop her heartbeat. 0.87

00:29:03.000 Stop his heartbeat.

00:29:04.000 Instead of just saying, stop all the heartbeats.

00:29:06.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:29:07.000 Well, look, it's a great point to talk about the heartbeat and saying that it's a separate heartbeat, right?

00:29:11.000 Because what we're dealing with here is somebody who is saying, Every part of my body is under my control, and this thing that is inside of me is not a person.

00:29:20.000 Right?

00:29:21.000 Fine.

00:29:21.000 If you want to have that argument in that debate, that's fine, because at some point it becomes a viable human being outside of the womb.

00:29:27.000 We can talk about that.

00:29:27.000 Well, that's a whole macro discussion.

00:29:29.000 Again, there's no consistent line to draw outside of conception, but yeah.

00:29:32.000 But I'm saying that's fine.

00:29:33.000 But now with these heartbeat bills, what you're saying is they're making a very fine point and saying, that's a second heartbeat that you can't stop and think that it's just a clump of cells.

00:29:41.000 It's not a clump of cells anymore.

00:29:42.000 That's where the argument is now.

00:29:44.000 Or we're all clumps of cells and it doesn't matter.

00:29:46.000 Like literally nothing matters anymore.

00:29:47.000 Exactly, so then why would we want it to be rare?

00:29:49.000 It's nihilism.

00:29:50.000 Who cares?

00:29:51.000 Here's something else that I genuinely am curious to hear people's opinions on, because I asked my wife this the other night.

00:29:57.000 Women out there, can you think of... I mean, I'm sure women from a long time ago can say, sure, because if I spoke out, my husband gave me a fresh one.

00:30:05.000 I understand that, right?

00:30:06.000 The Wonder Bread era.

00:30:07.000 Let's talk about today.

00:30:09.000 Can you think of any issue today Where as a woman you are told you're not allowed to have an opinion exclusively because you're a woman?

00:30:17.000 If we're going to say, oh, if it were vasectomies, men could do it.

00:30:20.000 Well, hold on a second.

00:30:21.000 No.

00:30:21.000 Men are not allowed to stop another human being's heartbeat.

00:30:23.000 In any instance, the only people who are allowed to do that are women. 1.00

00:30:26.000 It's an exception to the rule.

00:30:27.000 The only exception where it's permissible to end another autonomous being's heartbeat is for women. 0.96

00:30:32.000 So let me ask you on the flip side.

00:30:34.000 Are you ever told as a woman that you cannot hold an opinion or you are not entitled to an opinion exclusively because you are a woman?

00:30:42.000 Women who are watching, listening, let me know.

00:30:44.000 I can't think of any.

00:30:45.000 Could be my male privilege.

00:30:46.000 Genuinely, can anyone here think of any?

00:30:47.000 My wife couldn't. 1.00

00:30:49.000 She said, I'm honestly, I'm never told that I can't have an opinion on any issues.

00:30:53.000 She said rape, economics, men's health, any issues, like all of it.

00:30:58.000 Well, and this was the thing that she did at the end where she was kind of crying and pointing into the camera saying, it's my body, it's not yours.

00:31:04.000 You could have used that for slaves and people did.

00:31:05.000 It's my property, not yours. 0.99

00:31:06.000 Right.

00:31:07.000 Right?

00:31:07.000 That's the same exact argument that was being used.

00:31:09.000 And it was bad then too.

00:31:10.000 And it's still bad now.

00:31:11.000 Right.

00:31:12.000 And so, we do have to get to Ben Shapiro in a little bit, but they're claiming that these bills would imprison mothers.

00:31:16.000 They won't.

00:31:17.000 These bills are completely unprecedented.

00:31:18.000 They're not.

00:31:19.000 These bills don't take into account the health of the mother. 1.00

00:31:21.000 They do.

00:31:21.000 This is the start of overturning Roe v. Wade.

00:31:24.000 Well, not exactly, but potentially.

00:31:26.000 That's a conversation we may have, but let me ask you this.

00:31:29.000 None of this matters.

00:31:31.000 What if these states, to people here who are upset about these bills, particularly like the Elizabeth Warrens of the world, Kamala Harris, the entire DNC platform.

00:31:37.000 Yeah, of course.

00:31:39.000 There's no intellectual diversity there at all.

00:31:42.000 What if these states, let's say Georgia, Alabama, had passed an abortion bill that made exceptions for rape and incest and the life of the mother, they already make that exception, and they banned abortion at only 12 weeks, requiring a five-day waiting period?

00:31:57.000 Would liberals support it?

00:31:58.000 Do you think they'd support it then?

00:32:00.000 Or do you think you guys would protest it?

00:32:02.000 She and her husband did what they thought was best for their baby girl.

00:32:06.000 They got an abortion in the third trimester. 0.98

00:32:09.000 Reproductive rights are about health. 1.00

00:32:12.000 They are about safety.

00:32:13.000 This is an existential fight for the right and liberty to control your own body.

00:32:18.000 Abortion cannot just be theoretically legal.

00:32:21.000 It has to be literally accessible.

00:32:23.000 Yeah, I feel like it's a basic human right that nobody gets to use your body without your consent.

00:32:29.000 That's funny.

00:32:30.000 What?

00:32:30.000 That's real funny.

00:32:31.000 What about jamming forceps in it?

00:32:35.000 It is a normal part of women's medical lives. 1.00

00:32:40.000 So far, succeeding in limiting our access to exercise our constitutional right.

00:32:46.000 It's not a constitutional right.

00:32:47.000 By the way, these are the same people who don't believe in the constitutional right to keep and bear arms, which actually is a constitutional right.

00:32:54.000 When we're talking about amendments, it's number two, right next to number one, which includes, by the way, freedom of speech, which you also don't believe in.

00:33:04.000 You've heard of stepping over dollars to pick up pennies?

00:33:06.000 You're stepping over rights to grab ones that don't exist.

00:33:10.000 Freedom of speech, let's move that over here.

00:33:12.000 Right to bear arms, I don't really like it because David Hogg was in a Michael Moore film.

00:33:15.000 14th Amendment, right to privacy, therefore you can have an abortion at 32 weeks, says Elizabeth Warren. 1.00

00:33:20.000 This one I'm pretty confident on.

00:33:23.000 It really is absolutely remarkable to me.

00:33:24.000 And by the way, I want to make sure that I'm clear.

00:33:25.000 That context of the first Elizabeth Warren clip, she was talking about parents who had a late-term abortion because the baby was going to have a congenital, I believe, a heart defect.

00:33:33.000 So I don't want to be accused of taking her out of context.

00:33:37.000 Here's the thing.

00:33:37.000 It doesn't matter.

00:33:39.000 That's not why she was opposing a 20-week abortion ban. 0.99

00:33:42.000 You need to understand this, okay?

00:33:43.000 If they say, well, hold on a second.

00:33:45.000 We need exceptions on this.

00:33:46.000 There's no exception for rape or incest.

00:33:48.000 All right, hold on a second.

00:33:49.000 You're against a 20-week ban.

00:33:50.000 So how about on the flip side?

00:33:51.000 Would you only extend the abortion beyond 20 weeks in cases of rape, incest, or, for example, a congenital heart defect, serious birth defects, the health of the mother?

00:34:01.000 That's not what Elizabeth Warren proposed.

00:34:03.000 They don't make those exceptions.

00:34:03.000 No, not at all.

00:34:04.000 You can't have it on one side of the coin and not on the other.

00:34:08.000 It really is remarkable to me.

00:34:10.000 And again, the intellectual consistency.

00:34:14.000 Why should it be rare?

00:34:14.000 Who cares?

00:34:16.000 Exactly.

00:34:17.000 If it doesn't mean anything.

00:34:18.000 And also the fear-mongering that really bothers me.

00:34:20.000 You hear the right accused of fear-mongering quite a bit.

00:34:24.000 They're the right fear-mongers.

00:34:25.000 It's based on fear.

00:34:26.000 Let's be honest.

00:34:27.000 What do conservatives fear-monger on?

00:34:29.000 Terrorism?

00:34:31.000 Socialism?

00:34:32.000 9-11?

00:34:34.000 Arab Spring? 0.55

00:34:35.000 Socialism?

00:34:35.000 ISIS?

00:34:38.000 Venezuela?

00:34:39.000 Instead of fear-mongering, I call that a heads up?

00:34:43.000 You'll look at the left's fearmongering.

00:34:46.000 Climate change?

00:34:46.000 What is it?

00:34:48.000 Polar ice caps were supposed to be gone, by the way.

00:34:50.000 The entire world was supposed to be in famine, aside from North America and parts of Europe.

00:34:54.000 Florida's supposed to be gone.

00:34:56.000 No more fish.

00:34:56.000 No more coral reef.

00:34:57.000 Not saying there's no climate change, but the catastrophes certainly haven't happened.

00:35:00.000 Abortion.

00:35:01.000 If you ban abortion, you're going to be jailed for miscarrying. 0.99

00:35:04.000 So, whereas the right fearmongers gives you a heads up based on things that have actually happened and are currently happening across the world, the left fearmongers Fear mongers on things that can't be proven, never happen, and they move on to the next thing.

00:35:14.000 No one in this country has been regularly arrested for having abortions or for miscarrying.

00:35:20.000 If you accept that wholesale, you have bought false fear mongering.

00:35:24.000 It's not even close to the truth.

00:35:26.000 And at least we can correct that.

00:35:27.000 We can get to the conversation of abortion at large.

00:35:29.000 But hopefully, I've assisted you.

00:35:33.000 If I haven't, then I've just wasted a lot of your time and you're probably waiting for Ben Shapiro anyways because it's going to be a barn burn.

00:35:38.000 That's my favorite small Jewish man.

00:35:40.000 We should not talk.

00:35:43.000 Fa la la la la la. 0.99

00:35:45.000 Wish we could go far.

00:35:48.000 Heat interviewer.

00:35:50.000 Hey there, viewer.

00:35:50.000 Maverick here.

00:35:53.000 And I don't play by anyone's rules.

00:35:55.000 Not YouTube's, Twitter, or Facebook.

00:35:59.000 That's because I have only one rule that I respect.

00:36:02.000 And that's that I join Mug Club. 0.56

00:36:04.000 You can join Mug Club too, and be a rebel like me.

00:36:06.000 Join up and have the freedom to be your own man.

00:37:35.000 It's not a performance.

00:37:36.000 It's about feeling the music move through me.

00:37:39.000 Namely, my fingers.

00:37:40.000 The music movement is limited to the fingertips, like a father-in-law at a wedding.

00:37:47.000 Not my father-in-law.

00:37:49.000 Very glad to have our next guest.

00:37:50.000 I know that he's a busy man and he's traveling around the country, so his time is limited.

00:37:54.000 His new book, The Right Side of History, How Reason and Moral Purpose Made the Great West,

00:37:58.000 he's been making the rounds talking about it.

00:38:01.000 And I was in the subject of a little bit of controversy this last week, which we'll talk

00:38:04.000 about.

00:38:05.000 Mr. Ben Shapiro, how are you, sir?

00:38:06.000 I'm doing okay.

00:38:07.000 How are you, dude?

00:38:08.000 I am doing all right.

00:38:09.000 So, you know, we were talking before the break.

00:38:11.000 I never know how to broach this subject.

00:38:13.000 So let me kind of, because you never know if it's a sore spot.

00:38:16.000 Like, I talked with a fighter one time and asked him about a fight that was a loss for him.

00:38:19.000 And I'm not saying this is comparable in that sense, but he, you could tell he got pissed.

00:38:24.000 And I thought, oh, I thought that was a good question.

00:38:25.000 I thought it was compelling.

00:38:27.000 And this was a heavyweight who didn't like me after that.

00:38:29.000 So this happened on the BBC.

00:38:31.000 I think we have some B-roll here.

00:38:32.000 The guy's name, is it Neil Brennan?

00:38:35.000 Andrew Neil.

00:38:36.000 Andrew Neil.

00:38:38.000 That's the issue.

00:38:40.000 I think Brandon was a fighter.

00:38:42.000 I don't know who I'm thinking Neil Brennan.

00:38:44.000 So listen, I think that a lot of the criticism there that's been lobbed against you obviously I think is unfair.

00:38:50.000 And I think some of it is constructive.

00:38:51.000 What's your overall view on this since people have been talking about it?

00:38:54.000 Yes, I mean, I think that, you know, there are certainly some things I regret about this interview.

00:38:58.000 I tweeted out the stuff I regret about the interview.

00:39:00.000 And then there's some stuff I really don't regret about the interview.

00:39:02.000 The stuff that I regret is, you know, I'm in the middle of a book tour and we're doing a lot of book interviews.

00:39:06.000 And the producers for BBC approached us and they said, We want to have you on to discuss the book.

00:39:11.000 And I figured, OK, normal book interview, even if it gets a little bit antagonistic,

00:39:15.000 that's totally fine.

00:39:16.000 I mean, I just did an interview with Vox where Sean Illing opposes a lot of the ideas in

00:39:20.000 the book.

00:39:21.000 We did a long half hour interview about it because he was asking questions about the

00:39:23.000 book.

00:39:24.000 So I figured, OK, no problem.

00:39:25.000 It's busy days.

00:39:26.000 We sit down.

00:39:27.000 I'll tell you, I read the Vox interview.

00:39:28.000 Let me tell you why I thought it was risky, because it was in writing.

00:39:31.000 It wasn't a video.

00:39:32.000 And any time that happens, especially with someone like you where a lot of it is read through tone, I thought, ooh, they could make that a hatchet job.

00:39:38.000 But I actually thought it came out pretty well.

00:39:40.000 But it's not something I would do when I know it's just in print.

00:39:42.000 Yeah, no, I mean, honestly, I'd rather do live video typically, not even tape, as with the BBC.

00:39:47.000 But in any case, You know, so it was a lazy decision on my part.

00:39:51.000 I didn't know anything about the guy who was interviewing me.

00:39:54.000 I heard him in my ear, obviously.

00:39:55.000 I have no idea who Andrew Neil is.

00:39:56.000 I don't follow British politics all that closely, truthfully.

00:39:59.000 So we sit down and we start the interview and his opening question is really antagonistic.

00:40:06.000 He starts asking about the barbarity of pro-life positions and he starts asking, Isn't this Georgia policy bringing us back to the dark ages?

00:40:12.000 He mischaracterizes the Georgia law itself.

00:40:14.000 And I figure, OK, I know who this guy is, obviously. 1.00

00:40:17.000 Idiotic move. 1.00

00:40:18.000 I have no idea who the guy is. 1.00

00:40:19.000 That's the entire problem.

00:40:20.000 And so I assume, just like any journalist who asks that sort of question in the US, this person is on the left.

00:40:25.000 Well, it turns out that Andrew Neil is apparently famously on the right there, although I assume not on the social right there.

00:40:30.000 So I start pushing at him, prodding at him there.

00:40:33.000 So mistake number one, didn't know who he is.

00:40:35.000 And that was a mistake.

00:40:36.000 And, you know, You gotta own that.

00:40:38.000 I tweeted out, even before the interview aired, that I had no idea who he was.

00:40:41.000 I apologized for saying that he was on the left when he is not, in fact, on the left.

00:40:44.000 So that was mistake number one.

00:40:45.000 I'm somewhat familiar with him, even though I just got his name wrong.

00:40:47.000 He said Neil.

00:40:47.000 I need to find out who Neil Brennan is, because Neil Brennan is a person and is in my head.

00:40:51.000 There's Chris Brennan was a fighter who I trained with once, and then there's a guy named Neil Brennan.

00:40:54.000 No idea where.

00:40:55.000 But I know who he is a little bit, because, you know, obviously in Canada, we're a little bit more closely tied with the parliamentary system.

00:41:01.000 I had no idea. 0.99

00:41:01.000 He is more conservative, but he is kind of a dick. 0.99

00:41:04.000 So that part you didn't get wrong, but continue. 0.97

00:41:07.000 So that brought us to the second part of the interview.

00:41:10.000 Well, he eventually starts basically browbeating me with the idea that I've said things that I regret in the past.

00:41:16.000 Well, yeah, I mean, so have most of us who've been in politics.

00:41:19.000 I have a column that I referenced twice in the interview.

00:41:22.000 This interview, by the way, is about 16 minutes.

00:41:24.000 And so he mentions all this stuff.

00:41:27.000 I say twice.

00:41:28.000 I've got an entire column.

00:41:29.000 It's famous.

00:41:29.000 I posted it online.

00:41:31.000 all about this sort of stuff that I've said that I regret or that I've explained,

00:41:34.000 and he won't allow me to explain any of the comments, and I start to get frustrated.

00:41:37.000 This is when I make the second thing that I regret, which is I went to the ego play. So again,

00:41:41.000 based on the assumption that this guy is just some BBC schmuck and not a famous guy, I say, 0.97

00:41:47.000 you know, well, you know, I'm famous and you're not, which is always a bad move. 0.99

00:41:50.000 Always a dumb move. 0.94

00:41:51.000 And of course I regret that one. 1.00

00:41:53.000 That, that, that was stupid also. 0.98

00:41:55.000 Now here's the thing I don't regret. 1.00

00:41:56.000 There's no question he was badly motivated, right?

00:41:58.000 I mean, the entire line of questioning was, you're a bad person. 0.81

00:42:00.000 I'm going to smear you. 1.00

00:42:01.000 You're a bad person. 1.00

00:42:03.000 If I start to answer, he interrupts, you're a bad person, over and over and over. 0.99

00:42:06.000 Here's all the bad things that you've said.

00:42:07.000 And I keep saying, yeah, I've said things I regret.

00:42:09.000 Yeah, here's how I explain this one.

00:42:11.000 He keeps referencing a column I wrote in 2012.

00:42:13.000 I say, can you ask me something from the last five years?

00:42:15.000 Or why don't you read, I don't remember everything I've written.

00:42:16.000 Why don't you read me a column?

00:42:17.000 Well, Bill Martin did that exact same thing.

00:42:18.000 He had his flashcards and he was bringing up old tweets from you.

00:42:21.000 I mean, this is something they always do.

00:42:23.000 Yeah, and again, the thing was, I wasn't in that headspace.

00:42:26.000 So it's funny, people are like, Shapiro gets blown away in debate.

00:42:29.000 Well, this was an interview, right?

00:42:30.000 It was scheduled as an interview.

00:42:32.000 Like if you were a debate, you prep like it's a debate.

00:42:34.000 I wasn't prepped.

00:42:35.000 The failure of preparation.

00:42:36.000 Is my fault.

00:42:37.000 So it's a successful ambush for him.

00:42:38.000 So it's a win for him.

00:42:39.000 Here's the thing I don't regret getting up and walking out.

00:42:41.000 I don't regret for a heartbeat.

00:42:43.000 I do not regret it for a second.

00:42:44.000 The fact is that he was badly motivated.

00:42:46.000 He was looking for the gotcha moment.

00:42:47.000 He he felt he got the gotcha moment just by asking all these questions and refusing to listen to the answers.

00:42:52.000 He didn't ask a single question about the substance of the book at all.

00:42:55.000 It took him 17 minutes to get to the point where he apparently was about to ask that question.

00:42:59.000 And I felt like, you know what, I have I do have a basic rule.

00:43:02.000 And this is true in any conversation.

00:43:04.000 I've said this a thousand times in my speeches.

00:43:06.000 My basic rule is, when someone is intent on defaming your character, you have no obligation to continue with the conversation.

00:43:12.000 That's what he was doing, and so I was out.

00:43:14.000 And by the way, this idea that this was just an honest line of questioning, his own producer tweeted out after this whole thing was over that this is why you should have people like Shapiro on so that you can Basically attack their character.

00:43:25.000 I mean, he tweeted that out himself.

00:43:27.000 Isn't it kind of funny that they're... I don't regret getting up and walking out because, again, it was an ambush, so he gets a win for the ambush.

00:43:33.000 Can I offer, while I have you in a mode here, while I have you in a mode talking about, like, the breaking down of Ego, if I may, I may offer a little word of it.

00:43:39.000 The only thing I would say about your walkout, this is the performance art of it.

00:43:43.000 In my opinion, if you're gonna walk out, walk out.

00:43:46.000 Like, light off a big ol' mouth cannon and walk away laughing.

00:43:49.000 Because at that point, you were trying to walk out respectfully.

00:43:51.000 You know, you were pissed, but you'd just be like, ah, you know what, dude?

00:43:54.000 You know, no. 1.00

00:43:55.000 Go f*** yourself. 1.00

00:43:56.000 And you walk out. 1.00

00:43:57.000 That's how I- if you're gonna walk out.

00:43:59.000 To me, if you're gonna walk out, make it a serious walk out.

00:44:02.000 just short of slapping your Doniger on the table.

00:44:05.000 But I was trying to be polite. 0.97

00:44:07.000 Here's the thing, and this is the part that always kills you.

00:44:09.000 I was trying to be polite even at the end, you know?

00:44:11.000 And then I tried to be polite after that by kind of joking about, okay, well,

00:44:15.000 you got me Ben Shapiro destroyed and all of that.

00:44:17.000 And apparently politeness is not invoked. 0.99

00:44:20.000 But again, I'll freely admit, this one went like crap for me. 0.99

00:44:24.000 It was not a great show. 0.99

00:44:25.000 I didn't think it went like crap. 0.98

00:44:26.000 I just think that people are so, listen, everyone, people who don't enter the arena, they're always looking to fault someone who does, right? 0.98

00:44:31.000 They're always looking for you to fault.

00:44:33.000 And I would say it's certainly not your best performance, but I don't really think it was. 0.99

00:44:35.000 I think the guy was being a dick. 0.97

00:44:37.000 And I don't think the left can have it both ways where they say, well, in the BBC, in the UK, or they talk about Canada. 0.98

00:44:41.000 I go, oh, oh, you're talking about unbiased journalism in Canada, where it's funded by the government, where our prime minister literally promised $150 million to the CBC if he won.

00:44:49.000 Surprise, he won!

00:44:50.000 No, no, you can't say that they're unbiased, that it's true journalism, that they ask tough questions, and then have an interview where he spends 14 minutes on your Twitter and not on the book.

00:44:59.000 That's also not substantive.

00:45:00.000 Listen, I agree with all that, but, you know, I figure that, listen, I hold myself to a higher standard, and so if I don't live up to that standard, then that's the way that it goes, right?

00:45:09.000 I mean, that's my fault, again.

00:45:10.000 My first rule is you gotta research the person who you're debating.

00:45:13.000 My fault was, I didn't.

00:45:14.000 And so you get shown up if you don't research the person you're debating.

00:45:17.000 That's a mistake, and, you know, hopefully it doesn't happen again.

00:45:18.000 Well, people do this all the time, you know, when it's like Cenk Uygur, like, oh, this is what you know about, but I'm like, hold on, Cenk, you were on stage with him, and your own audience started booing you when Ben was debating you. 0.98

00:45:27.000 This is what bothers me, is the dog is the pig pile on people.

00:45:30.000 Or people have said this about me, because we do change my mind, which isn't a debate.

00:45:32.000 They go, well, when you're not debating high school kids, like, well, hold on a second.

00:45:35.000 We've debated professors, scientists on the show.

00:45:38.000 Naomi Wolf has come on this show, and I know that you have, if people can run a search.

00:45:41.000 People just want to mischaracterize.

00:45:43.000 Yeah, now you're hitting on a pet peeve of mine, which is all the media coverage, which was, you know, he'll debate college students, but as soon as he gets in the ring... Okay, I've had on the Sunday special, Andrew Yang, we discussed UBI.

00:45:54.000 We were adversarial about it, but friendly.

00:45:56.000 I've had on Sam Harris.

00:45:57.000 I've had a public debate with him on his own podcast.

00:45:59.000 I was on Bill Maher's show.

00:46:00.000 I've debated Cenk publicly.

00:46:02.000 I've debated Black Lives Matter publicly.

00:46:03.000 Socialist Shama Sawant publicly.

00:46:05.000 I've debated gun control publicly.

00:46:06.000 I've debated more than pretty much anybody that I know.

00:46:09.000 People on the left.

00:46:10.000 And I have discussions with people on the left so frequently that literally the day that this interview was taped, that interview with Vox came out, right?

00:46:16.000 And again, Sean Illing disagrees with me, but it was a perfectly nice, cordial conversation.

00:46:20.000 in which we decided to get to the issues at the heart of the book.

00:46:22.000 And I think, by the way, if you want an informative back-and-forth on the book, that's a good place to start.

00:46:26.000 So, you know, the interview... Now I feel bad, because I haven't asked a whole lot about the book.

00:46:32.000 I'm the bad guy here.

00:46:33.000 I'm not a journalist, but I haven't asked about the book.

00:46:35.000 Tell us about the book, because the book, obviously, is about kind of how to have these conversations.

00:46:42.000 For people who don't know, I think we have an overlay here of your book.

00:46:44.000 Yes, I mean, the book is basically asking the question, why is it that we live in the most prosperous, freest time in world history, And yet we're sort of beating each other up.

00:46:51.000 And the answer is that we don't have shared fundamental universal beliefs anymore.

00:46:56.000 What were those shared fundamental universal beliefs at the heart of Western civilization?

00:46:59.000 Why are they good?

00:47:00.000 Why did they produce this good, free, prosperous world?

00:47:03.000 And what are those beliefs that we should be reacquainted with?

00:47:05.000 And why did we lose those universal principles?

00:47:07.000 So it really is sort of a pop history of philosophy in 250 pages or less.

00:47:11.000 It's not the world's easiest read, but I think it's pretty informative and pretty And pretty useful, and I think it answers some important questions.

00:47:18.000 More important questions than, how about this crappy tweet you sent in 20 times?

00:47:21.000 Though those questions can be funny, and if they ever pull mine up, I'll just have to, my response will just have to be, did I write that?

00:47:26.000 That sounds like something I would say.

00:47:28.000 Yeah, that's pretty bad.

00:47:31.000 That's why I'll never run from this.

00:47:33.000 They'll hold a standard of a joke of comedy against me.

00:47:36.000 And that's happened before, too, where people have taken statements.

00:47:38.000 And I go, well, you can't take that statement, literally, just like you can't take a statement I made as a drunk Nick Nolte dressed as Rosa Parks in a sketch, seriously.

00:47:44.000 There's a difference between the commentary and the bits.

00:47:48.000 It's a little bit alarming that you just used the word Western civilization, because as we were reading on Salon, that's a dog whistle for white supremacy. 0.95

00:47:55.000 Yeah, white supremacists. 0.67

00:47:56.000 Yeah, exactly. 0.97

00:47:57.000 Well, as we all know, white supremacism, that's my thing.

00:48:00.000 I mean, I will notice a slight media imbalance.

00:48:04.000 So the interview with the BBC got, you know, all this coverage.

00:48:07.000 That's fine.

00:48:07.000 Totally fine.

00:48:08.000 The week before, the FBI arrested somebody for threatening to kill me and my family, and it got five stories, none of them from national publications.

00:48:14.000 Right, of course.

00:48:15.000 That's pretty, you know, just worth noting.

00:48:17.000 Yeah, I remember when we did the Crowder Confronts of someone who threatened to, I think, was it the one who firebombed?

00:48:22.000 Oh, wanted to slash our tires or firebomb our van.

00:48:24.000 And we confronted this person, like, hey, by the way, really quickly, we're not advocating violence.

00:48:27.000 I just would really like it if you take down this call to bomb my team in my van.

00:48:31.000 And the Austin Chronicle, the lady wrote, like, the taller, intimidating, muscular Steven Crowder intimidates this poor, small transgender. 0.66

00:48:38.000 Why didn't you mention that this person tried to bomb my van?

00:48:41.000 Or she's like, well, I did mention that you alleged that.

00:48:43.000 No, no, no, no.

00:48:44.000 Here it is.

00:48:45.000 Here's the post.

00:48:46.000 Like, well, I see that you're alleging that.

00:48:48.000 No, this person says I did it.

00:48:50.000 It really is.

00:48:50.000 There really is a disproportional response of the media, kind of as we just covered this week

00:48:55.000 with the top hoaxes.

00:48:56.000 We have Brett Kavanaugh as a rapist, the Russia conspiracy hoax, Jussie Smollett, and then all these other hate crimes.

00:49:02.000 Hey, speaking of hate crimes, uh, Tlaib, obviously from my wonderful home state of Michigan, what's your- this went back and forth this week where she talked about her, uh, was it set- was it calming feeling?

00:49:12.000 Yeah, calming feeling.

00:49:13.000 Yeah, yeah, calming.

00:49:14.000 Uh, when she thinks about the Holocaust, and people said you took- people were saying conservatives had taken this out of context.

00:49:19.000 When I read it, In its entirety, I thought, well, that only makes it worse.

00:49:23.000 Because she said, I get a sense, I get a calming feeling because I think of how we provided a safe haven, even though it was against our will.

00:49:30.000 And obviously it restricts us of our humanity.

00:49:31.000 So hold on a second, you don't sound like a willing party here.

00:49:34.000 Um, what do you think is the accurate read on that when we remove the political ping pong?

00:49:38.000 So I don't think that her saying that the Holocaust gave her a calming feeling was her saying, yeah, I feel calm about the murder of 6 million Jews. 0.90

00:49:44.000 That's obviously not what she's saying.

00:49:45.000 The part of it that's bad is when she completely recasts the history in a way that is not only ahistorical, but anti-historical.

00:49:51.000 The Palestinian Arabs were the original inhabitants of the land.

00:49:54.000 The Jews have no connection with the land. 1.00

00:49:55.000 The only reason the state of Israel was created was because of the Holocaust.

00:49:58.000 And then we Palestinian Arabs, we worked to integrate them and bring them in. 0.99

00:50:02.000 Every aspect of this is just sheer crap. 0.60

00:50:04.000 And the problem is that it does back the anti-Semitic narrative that the Jews have no place in Israel, that they are a European colonialist implant, and that the Palestinian Arabs are the true victims When it comes to the foundation of the state of Israel, despite the fact that the Palestinian Arab leadership sought to work with Hitler to impose a final solution in the Middle East, despite the fact that the Palestinian Arabs worked with the British mandate to prevent Jewish immigration to Israel, to British mandate Palestine. 0.97

00:50:28.000 In the middle of the Holocaust. 0.52

00:50:29.000 And there she is proclaiming that the real victims in all of this were the Palestinian Arabs.

00:50:34.000 I mean, again, it plays into an anti-Semitic narrative because she's an anti-Semite, but anybody who's reading the calming Holocaust thing in the way that I spoke about earlier, that obviously is a misread.

00:50:43.000 It's a misread, but I also don't understand why she said it.

00:50:47.000 What does she mean by calming feeling?

00:50:48.000 I think that John Podhoretz had a great piece on this at commentary.

00:50:51.000 He basically said she thought she was saying something nice.

00:50:54.000 The Holocaust is bad. 0.99

00:50:55.000 She's saying something nice.

00:50:57.000 So when she says that she had a calming feeling, she means the Holocaust is bad, but it makes me feel better about all of the evils that you did to me when I think about the evils that were done to you and how we were the victims of you healing from that. 0.83

00:51:09.000 Makes me feel better. 0.52

00:51:09.000 She thought she was saying something nice, but she's an anti-Semite. 0.52

00:51:11.000 That's not really possible.

00:51:12.000 Well, I always thought too, going back to the tweets, if someone were to pull out one of my old tweets, I think I had a tweet that was a joke, like a modern Islamic, it was about Islamic governments. 0.98

00:51:20.000 Islam in 20, this might have been 2016, basically Nazis who beat their wives.

00:51:25.000 And people were like, how dare you make that comparison? 0.85

00:51:27.000 Well, let's take Hamas. 0.96

00:51:28.000 Let's take these organizations.

00:51:29.000 They believe, you don't think if they could exterminate Jews right now, if they had the ability to wage a new Holocaust, of course they would. 0.98

00:51:35.000 And, you know, they beat their wives. 0.59

00:51:37.000 Nazis, I'm sure some of them did, but it was an exception, not the rule. 0.74

00:51:40.000 We can give them that.

00:51:43.000 I'm not even going to go here, man.

00:51:45.000 I am not even going to touch this.

00:51:47.000 People don't talk about the alliance between a lot of the Islamic world and the Nazis.

00:51:50.000 That is certainly true. 1.00

00:51:51.000 But that is the point of Tlaib's idiocy. 0.97

00:51:53.000 And the fact is that Haj Amin al-Husseini, the mufti of Jerusalem, he has like love letters from Himmler. 0.98

00:51:59.000 In the middle of the Holocaust, talking about, like, we really hope to wipe this Jewish threat off the planet, and thanks for your help. 1.00

00:52:04.000 So, that's pretty great.

00:52:06.000 And they were playing a game of telephone with tin cans and a string with Henry Ford.

00:52:09.000 And he was like, what?

00:52:10.000 What?

00:52:10.000 Can I get in on this?

00:52:11.000 And then people said, yeah, I guess that's true. 0.90

00:52:13.000 Very notorious anti-Semite.

00:52:14.000 Did you know that about Ford?

00:52:15.000 I didn't know that at all.

00:52:16.000 Oh my gosh, yeah, really some pretty rough stuff when you look back.

00:52:19.000 You know what, dude?

00:52:19.000 Honestly, I can't take this interview.

00:52:20.000 I'm out.

00:52:21.000 I gotta be gone.

00:52:21.000 Are this what's another walk-off?

00:52:25.000 I'm going to be a walk-off.

00:53:03.000 Asian Gold!

00:53:05.000 Hey, whoever put this s*** on social media, just keep in mind I also have to represent this company in accordance with law.

00:53:11.000 I feel like I'm riding a horse. 0.99

00:53:13.000 Everyone shut up! 1.00

00:53:16.000 Yeah, shut up! 1.00

00:53:19.000 Please stop shaking your second whip! 1.00

00:53:28.000 No, that didn't take too long.

00:53:30.000 It didn't take too long.

00:53:31.000 Neither did you.

00:53:32.000 Hands are frozen.

00:53:33.000 Well, you know what?

00:53:34.000 I'm going to go get a drink.

00:53:39.000 I hear you boys!

00:53:40.000 Needed a half a... Right on your ass. 1.00

00:53:46.000 Deep in your goalie. 1.00

00:53:48.000 No longer gonna be able to show my face in court.

00:53:50.000 Okay, continue.

00:53:51.000 How we do it, baby, don't...

00:53:56.000 Why...

00:53:58.000 Not again. 1.00

00:54:08.000 Break yourself, fool! 1.00

00:54:17.000 If you don't join Mug Club, Maddie will die. 1.00

00:54:20.000 I'm sorry.

00:54:25.000 breasts AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

00:54:44.000 AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA 🎵 Outro Music 🎵

00:54:57.000 🎵 Outro Music 🎵 Thanks for watching!

00:55:30.000 That's called the man who doesn't realize it enough.

00:55:32.000 You can't purge a flight helmet, dummy.

00:55:35.000 It was a Japanese kamikaze.

00:55:37.000 Purge?

00:55:38.000 Yeah, purge.

00:55:38.000 Don't you know how to purge?

00:55:39.000 When you scuba dive?

00:55:40.000 You pull it off.

00:55:41.000 Then you blow under pressure.

00:55:45.000 Billets have a really small head. 0.98

00:55:46.000 How does this fit?

00:55:48.000 You put it on over his headphones?

00:55:50.000 Hold on, let me get this right.

00:55:51.000 By the way, thank you so much to Ben Shapiro. 0.97

00:55:54.000 Even though, you know, a little bit of a dick move there. 0.95

00:55:58.000 What do you expect? 0.99

00:55:59.000 I'm very uncomfortable.

00:55:59.000 Do you think I just stick with it and keep the helmet on?

00:56:04.000 We have to get ready.

00:56:04.000 Yeah.

00:56:04.000 By the way, Cultural Appropriation, oh, I should let you know, next week, this whole show is going to be hosted by none other than Bernie Sanders.

00:56:11.000 That's true.

00:56:12.000 The entire program.

00:56:14.000 Guest segments, everything.

00:56:15.000 I'm going to be off.

00:56:16.000 Bernie Sanders will be sub-hosting.

00:56:17.000 And then, of course, June, Cultural Appropriation Month, because to appropriate is to appreciate.

00:56:22.000 This is where we appropriate a new culture every week.

00:56:25.000 Every time.

00:56:25.000 And bring you the wondrous creations that cultures have to offer across the world.

00:56:29.000 Send in, either here on YouTube or TweetMeAtUs Crowder, the cultures you want to see. 1.00

00:56:33.000 Now we're up to what?

00:56:34.000 It's been three years now.

00:56:35.000 Yep, three years.

00:56:36.000 It's been three or four.

00:56:37.000 It's either twelve... It's been three, I think.

00:56:39.000 Oh, we got a lot.

00:56:40.000 Three years.

00:56:40.000 And what it was, was one of those years had five... Yes.

00:56:45.000 Did we have five Thursdays?

00:56:46.000 Was that the way it worked out?

00:56:47.000 I mean... I don't know.

00:56:50.000 I don't know, but one week... I'm not a calendar guy.

00:56:51.000 I remember one week, one month, we said, oh no, we have an echo.

00:56:55.000 We forgot there was another Thursday in June.

00:56:58.000 It's the last day!

00:56:59.000 Oh no.

00:57:00.000 And then I think we just got lazy and did like Sweden or something.

00:57:03.000 Go look up Cultural Appropriation Month Sweden and see, watch Sally Cohn get mad at me.

00:57:10.000 Really excited for next week.

00:57:12.000 A lot of big, it was the blow-up reptiles.

00:57:15.000 I just remember the look where she's like, oh this is fun until it dawns on her, oh this is really messed up.

00:57:25.000 Okay.

00:57:26.000 Crowder closes in this silly hat. 0.91

00:57:27.000 Too cute, man. 0.98

00:57:28.000 He pulls it off well.

00:57:29.000 That's a great example.

00:57:30.000 People talk about privilege.

00:57:31.000 Girls wear, you know, giant sunglasses. 1.00

00:57:32.000 They look cute.

00:57:33.000 Guys wear them. 0.99

00:57:34.000 They look like they're retarded. 1.00

00:57:35.000 They're trying to cover up a bender. 1.00

00:57:36.000 You wear that helmet. 0.97

00:57:38.000 It's disgusting. 0.78

00:57:38.000 It's still cute. 0.78

00:57:39.000 I wear it.

00:57:40.000 I look like I have to sit over here.

00:57:41.000 I look like it's a... You should get to sit over there.

00:57:43.000 It's a retard crash helmet. 1.00

00:57:45.000 I look like there should be... I look like these corners should be nerfed.

00:57:50.000 All right.

00:57:51.000 So I've... Crowder closes.

00:57:56.000 Straight face.

00:57:58.000 I've talked about truly living in your purpose.

00:58:01.000 We've talked about that on the show quite a bit.

00:58:02.000 And we get a lot of messages.

00:58:03.000 You know, we do the Life Advice to Love, Tough Love segments here for those who are Mug Club members. 1.00

00:58:07.000 We don't really upload them to YouTube.

00:58:09.000 But as a good rule of thumb, and I was talking with Manny and Tim about this, there's kind of a rule.

00:58:16.000 If you cannot describe your concept, your business, or your point of view, if you cannot give someone that pitch in a couple of phrases, you really maybe haven't thought about it so well.

00:58:26.000 So let me try and distill this.

00:58:28.000 Good rule of thumb.

00:58:29.000 People talk about living in their purpose.

00:58:30.000 How do they figure out?

00:58:33.000 You'll find yourself invaluable to someone else.

00:58:38.000 When you make yourself invaluable to someone else, let me put it really simply, you want to find yourself, this is a term we hear a lot, get really, really good at something.

00:58:48.000 My friend Brian Callan has talked about that.

00:58:49.000 You want to figure out what you're about, get excellent at something.

00:58:53.000 Make yourself irreplaceable.

00:58:56.000 And by the way, it doesn't have to be big.

00:58:57.000 It doesn't have to be irreplaceable to a ton of people. 0.98

00:59:00.000 You can make yourself invaluable to your boss, to your kids, to your employees, to your church, Little League because you're the best damn coach they ever saw. 0.97

00:59:06.000 I don't know. 0.95

00:59:07.000 But irreplaceability breeds trust.

00:59:11.000 And when you find more people are entrusting you with more responsibility, that's when you get to show

00:59:17.000 people what your true character is.

00:59:19.000 Otherwise, you never know.

00:59:20.000 When someone says, oh, that's, you need to get that done?

00:59:23.000 You need to get X done or Y?

00:59:25.000 Oh, give that to Bob. 0.51

00:59:26.000 No one does it better.

00:59:27.000 It'll feel great, but you'll also be in the hot seat.

00:59:31.000 And there are these sound bites that we hear all the time.

00:59:33.000 You know, you hear a lot of athletes say this, or like Oprah, you know, it's not what you do when you win that defines you, but how you come back from a loss.

00:59:41.000 Or sometimes, I've heard it the other way, too, where they say, well, losing is easy, winning is hard.

00:59:45.000 Staying on top, you figure out what you're made of.

00:59:48.000 Neither is true.

00:59:50.000 You want to find out what you're made of?

00:59:52.000 You want to find out who you are?

00:59:53.000 It's what you do with trust.

00:59:55.000 When someone trusts you, you are effectively both signing a character check.

01:00:00.000 Think of it that way.

01:00:01.000 A character check of accountability, responsibility, expectations.

01:00:04.000 He's signing the front, you're signing the back of it.

01:00:07.000 Think of every great athlete or world leader.

01:00:11.000 It could be from Wayne Gretzky, something as trivial as something like hockey, to Winston Churchill.

01:00:15.000 They were all defined by their wins as much as their losses.

01:00:18.000 It's not either scenario that defines you.

01:00:21.000 But in both instances, by the way, they were entrusted with doing their best.

01:00:25.000 Someone trusts from leading people to a Stanley Cup, leading the team to Stanley, to losing seasons.

01:00:29.000 That defined Wayne Gretzky.

01:00:32.000 The failures of Gallipoli to the victory in World War II.

01:00:37.000 We talk about Churchill.

01:00:38.000 These were people in positions which carried great intrinsic trust because of their expertise, because of their excellency, and because they could be counted on to do their best.

01:00:49.000 You know who never gets entrusted with a whole lot?

01:00:51.000 The mediocre.

01:00:53.000 The good enoughs.

01:00:54.000 So if you can't explain it to me right now, in one phrase, two phrases, I'll give you at most two phrases, you haven't thought about it hard enough.

01:01:02.000 I'm about to ask you a question.

01:01:03.000 Okay?

01:01:04.000 You ready?

01:01:05.000 What are you really good at?

01:01:10.000 Think about it.

01:01:10.000 What do others, or what do you think, what should others entrust to you specifically?

01:01:19.000 If you don't know all the self-help books and silent retreats in the world, they're not going to help you.

01:01:23.000 You need to figure it out.

01:01:25.000 Find out what makes you X1.

01:01:27.000 Find out who trusts you and what they trust you with.

01:01:30.000 You'll find out who you are.

01:01:32.000 And that's something you can control. 1.00

01:01:33.000 All right, I'll see you next week without this stupid helmet. 1.00

01:01:36.000 It hurts. 1.00
