00:00:45.000 You're running for press, you socialist cheat.

00:00:58.000 Avoiding the shows where you'd have to speak of this communist fear you want here at home. 0.61

00:01:09.000 You climbed down a rope of blankets and sheets, evaded the guards, you land in this creek.

00:01:16.000 It's time to get back to the old folks' home. 1.00

00:01:23.000 I'm reading your plan over again And there's not a word that I comprehend

00:01:30.000 Except when you shine in love, Bernie, always With the impact word

00:01:58.000 How you made it out you

00:02:03.000 Seriously, is there somebody anywhere who can explain how you got out?

00:02:12.000 Your bedroom window, how did it break?

00:02:21.000 You left the pills that you need to take.

00:02:24.000 I hope you don't have another seizure.

00:02:27.000 You climbed down a rope, a blanket to cheat. 0.99

00:02:34.000 Evaded the guards, you communist creep. 0.98

00:02:37.000 I wish I knew you were back in the home A voice in your head, corns on your feet 1.00

00:02:48.000 And you tip like crap! 1.00

00:02:49.000 Because you're so cheap, if I don't need a gun, you don't need free home 1.00

00:02:55.000 Well, as for now, I'm gonna watch the saddest man And sit alone and wonder how you made it out

00:03:22.000 Oh Seriously, is there somebody anywhere who can explain how

00:03:31.000 you got out?

00:03:33.000 Your hair is everywhere Screaming instability along with your stare 0.93

00:04:31.000 You're a strange animal That's what I know You're a strange animal I've got to follow

00:05:07.000 I'm a species That's a drummer I like to call Just Snares! 0.54

00:05:14.000 Nothing else.

00:05:16.000 I'm only playing the snares.

00:05:18.000 It's in the name.

00:05:19.000 Just Snares here.

00:05:20.000 Hey, huge show today.

00:05:22.000 We have the Hodge Twins on the program. 0.98

00:05:24.000 They've been making the rounds in the conservative movement now, which is very disconcerting.

00:05:32.000 We're the ones who opened up that box.

00:05:34.000 We'll be talking about the Nobel Peace Prize and Greta Thunberg, which leads me to question of the day before I introduce, of course, the regulars.

00:05:41.000 Do you pay attention at all to who gets awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, and has it ever occurred to you?

00:05:47.000 That it's a sham.

00:05:48.000 That it is totally... I mean, you seem like the Wizard of Oz, you peek behind the curtain, only it's a bunch of globalist socialists who want to destroy the world.

00:05:57.000 I'll be making the case later on, as rumors circulate, that Greta Thunberg will be winning. 0.77

00:06:01.000 We don't know it yet as of the time of this taping.

00:06:04.000 We have my half-Asian lawyer, Bill Richman, in with us.

00:06:05.000 How are you, sir?

00:06:06.000 Wonderful.

00:06:06.000 Hello.

00:06:07.000 Good.

00:06:07.000 Born a black Garrett.

00:06:08.000 How are you?

00:06:08.000 Show me your good pass.

00:06:09.000 What's up, dawg?

00:06:09.000 That is awful.

00:06:11.000 I think your dad's probably Indonesian, not black. 0.60

00:06:13.000 What's the wine of the day, Gene Morgan Jr.?

00:06:14.000 Wow, insult.

00:06:15.000 Just an isosceles.

00:06:16.000 Just an isosceles.

00:06:17.000 In medical terms.

00:06:18.000 Okay, what makes an isosceles triangle?

00:06:21.000 It has two sides of equal length.

00:06:23.000 Well, that's incredibly uninteresting.

00:06:24.000 Okay.

00:06:24.000 I googled it.

00:06:25.000 Moving on.

00:06:27.000 So really, I do want to hear about you at the Nobel Peace Prize.

00:06:29.000 We'll be talking about that a little more later on.

00:06:31.000 But first, leading the news, Skrillex had a baby with Marvel Comics Mojo.

00:06:37.000 Mojo.

00:06:38.000 Yeah, Mojo.

00:06:39.000 And this happened.

00:06:40.000 Oh! 0.60

00:06:41.000 Uh huh.

00:06:46.000 Woo! 0.99

00:06:49.000 The slogan for that event was, all trans lives matter? 0.95

00:06:56.000 Question mark.

00:06:57.000 I don't even know how they marketed it.

00:06:59.000 That is so terrible.

00:07:03.000 It's the stuff that gives children nightmares.

00:07:07.000 Of course, by the way.

00:07:08.000 I want to take a serious moment. Our thoughts and prayers obviously go out to Bernie Sanders,

00:07:08.000 Doctor!

00:07:11.000 who suffered a heart attack this week, which unfortunately is leading questions now into

00:07:16.000 his candidacy. It should be noted that it does thankfully seem like it was minor. Was

00:07:21.000 Senator Sanders likely to return to the campaign trail? And he's turned lemons into lemonade.

00:07:25.000 I do respect that about him. He's been using this opportunity to raise campaign funds through

00:07:29.000 sales of his limited edition Bernie operation.

00:07:31.000 Doctor, I've got campaign financing!

00:07:35.000 You've got larceny in your heart!

00:07:37.000 Your arteries are clogged!

00:07:39.000 Operation!

00:07:40.000 You should have taken jogs!

00:07:42.000 Your back is off the charts!

00:07:42.000 Operation!

00:07:45.000 Operation!

00:07:46.000 You need a baboon heart! 1.00

00:07:48.000 Operation.

00:07:49.000 Remove the pieces and collect your fee.

00:07:52.000 But don't touch the aortic valve!

00:07:59.000 Operation by Bernie Sanders.

00:08:04.000 Now, many of you are probably asking, did the question occur to us whether this was too soon?

00:08:09.000 It did!

00:08:12.000 And we went ahead with it anyway.

00:08:13.000 And I want to be really clear what that means.

00:08:15.000 That means scheduling the shoot, preparing the green screen, procuring the costumes, finding a rubber heart, photoshopping an operation game.

00:08:24.000 There were many crossroads, opportunities, where we could have stopped.

00:08:28.000 We could have turned back, but we never did.

00:08:31.000 So I just want you to know that if you're still here with us right now, you saw the ride, you bought a ticket anyway.

00:08:39.000 This ain't no pony ride, lady. 0.96

00:08:40.000 By the way, a little bit of, I don't want to say irony, it's not really ironic.

00:08:45.000 Alanis Morissette was wrong about that with the song. 0.78

00:08:47.000 Coincidentally, the same procedure that Bernie Sanders had the same day, three to, I believe, eleven weeks in Canada.

00:08:53.000 Oh, great system.

00:08:54.000 And in the UK, I think it's seven weeks.

00:08:56.000 Except if you're a senator, if you're a member of parliament, you get it right away.

00:08:59.000 But it's free.

00:09:00.000 Because nothing's elitist about that.

00:09:02.000 Special treatment and all.

00:09:04.000 Also in political news, Ilhan Omar officially filed for divorce from her husband, Ahmed, amid affair allegations showing once again that sibling rivalry knows no bounds.

00:09:15.000 Can you imagine using the defense, yeah, I married my brother, but I divorced him, so I'm okay?

00:09:20.000 Is that really what she's going to be telling people?

00:09:23.000 We should be clear, this is not her brother.

00:09:25.000 She was married to another person who was her brother, but we really just want to focus on the fact that she banged her brother.

00:09:34.000 I feel like that's the takeaway.

00:09:35.000 I think that was the lead, yeah.

00:09:37.000 Don't you have, when you build a legal case, you have a few kind of tenets, you're like, this is the most, this is the central theme.

00:09:43.000 Sure, yeah, you've got some lead points, you're in top contention, and you go strong with it, and she goes strong with being your brother.

00:09:49.000 Yeah, pretty much.

00:09:50.000 She goes strong with the brother, yeah.

00:09:51.000 It seems to me that intercourse with biological brothers should be right at the top of the list. 0.83

00:09:54.000 It should be, should be.

00:09:55.000 It's noteworthy.

00:09:58.000 In what some are calling long overdue reform for the church, Pope Francis is now considering lifting the celibacy requirements for priests.

00:10:05.000 Oh, very nice.

00:10:06.000 Which, yeah, good news for actually specifically Cardinal McCarrick's controversial take an altar boy, leave an altar boy bodega tray.

00:10:12.000 So he is thrilled.

00:10:13.000 Oh man.

00:10:16.000 It could be one long day.

00:10:17.000 And there are some people who I know take an altar boy, but they never leave an altar boy.

00:10:22.000 They never leave an altar boy.

00:10:24.000 That's what just brought off a pedestal here.

00:10:25.000 You could get worse, and then that was it.

00:10:27.000 Oh my gosh.

00:10:29.000 Truly raised by wolves.

00:10:30.000 It's kind of a very misguided policy by the Catholic Church, I think. 0.53

00:10:30.000 Terribly. 0.53

00:10:34.000 Sorry if any Catholic fans are offended.

00:10:37.000 But at the very least, it was misguided.

00:10:38.000 It could have been a land grab.

00:10:40.000 Yeah, could have been a land grab.

00:10:41.000 And what it turned into is abusing children.

00:10:42.000 Yeah, well, it didn't turn into a land grab.

00:10:44.000 It was.

00:10:45.000 Turned into a bleep grab.

00:10:46.000 We'll bleep it.

00:10:47.000 People don't know what I said.

00:10:48.000 You don't know what I said.

00:10:50.000 Operation!

00:10:54.000 Van Nickel, this has been all over the news, Van Nickelback saw a 569% surge in downloads, I think on LimeWire, after 1 to 5.

00:11:04.000 I can't track that.

00:11:05.000 1 to 6.

00:11:08.000 After Donald Trump tweeted a meme, HuffPost said the surge happened after the president shared a doctored clip of Nickelback's photograph music video.

00:11:15.000 Of course, most outraged by the tweet was Creed.

00:11:20.000 Anyone have any comments on that?

00:11:26.000 Can you tweet my picture?

00:11:29.000 Can you make me relevant?

00:11:37.000 They were so happy.

00:11:38.000 They were so happy.

00:11:39.000 I am still on Friendster.

00:11:45.000 I bet all on Zanger.

00:11:49.000 Oh, bad idea.

00:11:50.000 Gerald B's on Grindr.

00:11:54.000 That would make sense. 0.99

00:11:55.000 Cause he likes men's other butt. 1.00

00:12:01.000 Someone tell his fake wife. 1.00

00:12:04.000 That's a beard.

00:12:05.000 That's a segment.

00:12:08.000 How's that voice doing?

00:12:08.000 Please come back, Creed.

00:12:10.000 It's only for me.

00:12:11.000 Come on, Scott.

00:12:12.000 We love it.

00:12:13.000 Come on.

00:12:13.000 I don't want to say it.

00:12:14.000 If I mention them, I feel like they're Candyman.

00:12:16.000 If I mention their name three times in a mirror, they'll show up like, Did you call my name, yeah?

00:12:23.000 Is there a bar mitzvah?

00:12:29.000 I don't know.

00:12:30.000 I assume that's what they're doing.

00:12:31.000 They're just waiting right behind the mirror.

00:12:33.000 The soul-sucking performances for kids.

00:12:35.000 They're going to be dropping their mixtape with Will.i.am and the other black-eyed pea who does this. 0.93

00:12:41.000 And it is going to be lovely.

00:12:43.000 Speaking of lovely, here's a cute story about animals.

00:12:45.000 The Houston Zoo has unveiled a new webcam that broadcasts live footage from the exhibits 24-7.

00:12:51.000 Except for actually between 1.30 and 2 a.m.

00:12:56.000 when the producers are up against a deadline, struggling to fill in the audience.

00:13:01.000 So this has come in handy for A Little Late with Lilly Singh.

00:13:03.000 Growing up, sex was so confusing.

00:13:05.000 Here are the things that I thought were actually true. 0.95

00:13:08.000 I thought that girls had dozens of holes, and then when a boy picked the right one, the prize would be a baby. 1.00

00:13:14.000 You know exactly what I'm talking about!

00:13:24.000 That's what we call in the industry, seat fillers. 1.00

00:13:27.000 It seems like torture.

00:13:29.000 Hey, she's one of you, Bill.

00:13:30.000 I mean, you know, Asian is very broad.

00:13:31.000 You proud of that?

00:13:33.000 You proud of your contribution?

00:13:34.000 You had fireworks, noodles, and that broad.

00:13:37.000 Yeah, she's awesome. 1.00

00:13:41.000 Nothing makes everything else seem funnier than Lilly Singh.

00:13:44.000 Hey, do we have the next Photoshop?

00:13:46.000 No, we do not.

00:13:47.000 It was too rough.

00:13:48.000 We had to cut it.

00:13:49.000 Really?

00:13:49.000 Yeah, I will say this.

00:13:50.000 We had to cut it.

00:13:50.000 It revolved around Jeffrey Chimpanzee.

00:13:54.000 But we did realize, you can show someone having their aortic valve being torn out, but the second you have a chimpanzee in a suit with a silver wig hanging itself with a bed sheet, people just think it's sad.

00:14:07.000 We have standards.

00:14:08.000 Here comes PETA suing you, basically, right?

00:14:12.000 I guess moving into, I guess this next door, I guess it's entertainment?

00:14:14.000 Hello?

00:14:15.000 Is this Brendan?

00:14:16.000 Hi, this is Kim Kardashian.

00:14:16.000 Yeah?

00:14:16.000 Let's go with that.

00:14:17.000 Let's stretch.

00:14:18.000 Noted prison reform activist Kim Kardashian.

00:14:21.000 She tweeted her support of Brendan Dassey, the kid from Making a Murderer.

00:14:26.000 Do you guys remember Brendan Dassey?

00:14:28.000 She reached out to Dassey to notify him of her support in a phone call obtained exclusively

00:14:33.000 by us here at Latter With Crowder.

00:14:34.000 Hello?

00:14:35.000 Is this Brendan?

00:14:36.000 Yeah?

00:14:37.000 Hi, this is Kim Kardashian.

00:14:38.000 Yeah?

00:14:39.000 And I don't know if you saw, but I tweeted that I support you.

00:14:48.000 Bye.

00:14:49.000 Yeah?

00:14:51.000 Yeah.

00:14:53.000 Yeah?

00:14:54.000 Yeah.

00:14:56.000 Yeah?

00:14:58.000 Yes.

00:15:00.000 Oh. 0.99

00:15:02.000 So, do you wanna make a sex tape? 0.99

00:15:06.000 I can answer that. 0.99

00:15:07.000 She probably does.

00:15:08.000 Yeah.

00:15:09.000 No, no, no.

00:15:10.000 She doesn't.

00:15:10.000 They already have one.

00:15:11.000 You can't do the sequel yet.

00:15:13.000 That's true.

00:15:14.000 You can't do the sequel yet.

00:15:15.000 It doesn't work that way.

00:15:16.000 Memento.

00:15:17.000 Come on.

00:15:17.000 That was one of those.

00:15:18.000 Did you guys watch Making a Murder when that came out?

00:15:20.000 Oh my gosh.

00:15:20.000 Yeah.

00:15:20.000 That was one of those things.

00:15:21.000 Talk about just setting a narrative that was false.

00:15:24.000 Maybe he didn't do this, but what they don't tell you is the guy was guilty of sexual assault multiple times.

00:15:28.000 The guy dipped his cat in motor oil and burned it alive.

00:15:31.000 Definitely a bad guy.

00:15:31.000 What?

00:15:32.000 Yeah, think about that.

00:15:33.000 Not even Hitler did that stuff.

00:15:34.000 If Donald Trump had done that, people wouldn't be complaining about the cops planting some keys in a Chevrolet Cavalier or whatever it was, a RAV4.

00:15:43.000 They wouldn't be complaining about that. 0.99

00:15:44.000 They would say, kill Donald Trump by any means possible if he boiled the cat alive. 0.96

00:15:49.000 Don't take that out of context and say, don't send it to Donald Trump. 1.00

00:15:51.000 Kill Donald, that's not what I'm saying.

00:15:53.000 No, it's already clipped. 0.98

00:15:54.000 Which is an analogy at this point.

00:15:56.000 What are you doing?

00:15:57.000 The guy from New York?

00:15:57.000 Making sure they know.

00:15:58.000 No!

00:15:59.000 No talent!

00:16:00.000 I like Gerald's comparison of burning a cat in motor oil as worse than Hitler.

00:16:04.000 No!

00:16:05.000 When he was a kid, Hitler killed animals and put them in his, like, uh, his drawers and his, you know, where his clothes were. 0.87

00:16:11.000 And I was like, that's... Yeah, but it's not like... It's worse than, like, boiling him alive is worse!

00:16:15.000 Practically a good guy.

00:16:16.000 Where did you go to school?

00:16:19.000 Killing an animal with, like, a gun is different than boiling it alive.

00:16:22.000 I will say this, while that is disturbing... Your whole digging technique... They both die, but one's really painful, the other one's not! 0.91

00:16:27.000 Just stop.

00:16:27.000 Nobody's with you on this.

00:16:30.000 No, listen, I don't want to hang up on Jill.

00:16:32.000 Jill's not wrong, I just don't think that for anyone else... I don't think our most significant grievance with Hitler is the cat.

00:16:38.000 It's not.

00:16:38.000 It's the beginning of it, though!

00:16:40.000 It's the beginning.

00:16:41.000 I don't think that's a primary concern.

00:16:42.000 But that was the primary concern.

00:16:43.000 It's in later work.

00:16:46.000 We got to this kid early enough.

00:16:48.000 In the history books, the cat breeder maybe would be a guest writer in the foreword.

00:16:54.000 But it's not a chapter.

00:16:56.000 A driver in a car crash is now being accused, this is a story that came from Orlando, of offering the victim free food at Chili's if the victim didn't call the police.

00:17:06.000 Which is scary when you think about it.

00:17:08.000 Even more sinister, had the victim called the cops, the man threatened to take them to Applebee's.

00:17:13.000 Look, they have great chips at Chili's. 1.00

00:17:16.000 We've had some good long conversations there where you kick my ass if you do. 0.97

00:17:19.000 I actually like, I've used to like Chili's, but have you been there recently? 0.99

00:17:22.000 No.

00:17:22.000 They have plastic silverware now and you order on like a, but it's not even an iPad.

00:17:25.000 It's like a little, it's like an Amazon Fire.

00:17:28.000 That doesn't work?

00:17:28.000 Yeah.

00:17:29.000 Yeah, they got them on sale.

00:17:31.000 It's totally different.

00:17:32.000 You know why?

00:17:32.000 Because millennials, and this is one thing, millennials are good about this, they're not going out to franchises when they can pay the same amount and get something better and support a mom and pop business.

00:17:40.000 I think all the Chili's have closed.

00:17:42.000 I haven't seen one lately.

00:17:43.000 Not all of them, but a lot of them have closed.

00:17:45.000 Well, apple bees, my wife and I, we used to have the two for $20.

00:17:48.000 Yeah.

00:17:49.000 And we were poor, so we'd go for a night.

00:17:50.000 And what happens with apple bees is they sort of suck you in with one good appetizer.

00:17:54.000 The spinach artichoke dip, have you had that?

00:17:56.000 Yeah.

00:17:56.000 It's very good.

00:17:57.000 So you go, you're like, oh, there's a happy hour, I'll have a beer.

00:17:59.000 And you're with some friends, and you have the spinach artichoke dip, and you go, you know what?

00:18:02.000 This is really good.

00:18:03.000 I should give apple bees a shot. 0.99

00:18:05.000 And so you go there for the dinner, and you think, the sirloin's got to be about on par with the spinach artichoke.

00:18:09.000 No.

00:18:09.000 It's not even close.

00:18:10.000 It's complete trash. 1.00

00:18:10.000 Nothing else. 1.00

00:18:11.000 Like, there's top sirloin.

00:18:13.000 It has a hole in the middle where they cut it out.

00:18:14.000 Sphincter surly I don't know what they do. It's just has a hole in the middle where they cut it out

00:18:19.000 It's just sinew with a gap finally

00:18:23.000 There's the latest of course impeachment drama before we get to the Nobel Prize in the Hodge twins

00:18:27.000 Democrats are considering distorting the voice and the appearance of the whistleblower at the center of this.

00:18:34.000 House Democrats are looking to prevent the whistleblower from being identified, fearing Republicans could leak who it is.

00:18:41.000 Obviously, based on the previous whistleblower not having first-hand knowledge, people are questioning the validity of these whistleblowers.

00:18:48.000 Some in House leadership are actually concerned That there could be a weakness here, and it could actually be the current one, maybe a White House plant or troll.

00:18:57.000 Listen, this Ukraine thing, frankly, is small potatoes, okay? 1.00

00:19:01.000 I know where the real skeletons are buried, truly.

00:19:03.000 Listen, if you're going to impeach, all you need to do is look at- B-b-boy! 1.00

00:19:07.000 B-b-boy! 1.00

00:19:08.000 Howard Stern's penis! 1.00

00:19:09.000 B-b-boy! 1.00

00:19:11.000 You had me!

00:19:12.000 Got us again.

00:19:15.000 It's amazing to me that Democrats are more concerned with distorting the image of the whistleblower than they are with actually verifying the whistleblower and validating the claims.

00:19:23.000 I'm kind of confused, Bill.

00:19:24.000 Maybe you can help with this.

00:19:26.000 If you've already released the transcript of the phone call, how is it possible to have a second whistleblower for the phone call?

00:19:33.000 I don't understand.

00:19:35.000 Sorry, I'm a lawyer, not a magician.

00:19:38.000 It's like coming in and saying, oh, I'm a whistleblower for Steven's episode he did last week that everybody saw.

00:19:42.000 Like, well, we'll just look at the episodes.

00:19:43.000 We don't need you.

00:19:45.000 What's interesting about it is that it's widely acknowledged that the whistleblower doesn't actually have first-hand knowledge.

00:19:49.000 Right.

00:19:50.000 So who cares?

00:19:50.000 It's like literally just finding anyone off the street and just saying, well, I would like for you to just make things up.

00:19:56.000 Yeah.

00:19:57.000 I mean, this wouldn't ever work in a court of law.

00:19:59.000 I mean, it's not actually evidence, but.

00:20:00.000 Right.

00:20:01.000 It's like, wait, hold on a second.

00:20:02.000 Are you really a whistleblower or are you just presenting?

00:20:06.000 The prestige.

00:20:07.000 This is almost worse than killing the cat in oil. 0.99

00:20:10.000 I shot Trump in the Ukraine, and I smoked crack! 0.99

00:20:13.000 Thank you! 0.98

00:20:14.000 Thank you.

00:20:15.000 Washington Post says we'll keep you anonymous for this one.

00:20:19.000 Source close to the White House.

00:20:20.000 All right, let me ask you guys.

00:20:21.000 How many of you had done research on the Nobel Peace Prize before this?

00:20:25.000 Just a little when Barack won it.

00:20:27.000 Yes.

00:20:27.000 And mostly I saw your rap video.

00:20:29.000 And I honestly, I will say this.

00:20:31.000 I felt bad when Barack Obama won it because I did that Peace Prize video.

00:20:34.000 So I did some research.

00:20:35.000 I thought we had done a segment on this here at the show and we hadn't because I've talked about it quite a bit.

00:20:39.000 So I want to tie this into why everything wrong with Greta Thunberg, why she is just the worst. 0.99

00:20:45.000 I'm not going to say anything that could get me banned. 0.80

00:20:46.000 She's just the pits. 1.00

00:20:49.000 But when it comes to Barack Obama, how many months had he been president?

00:20:53.000 I don't remember the exact amount of time.

00:20:53.000 It was very quick.

00:20:55.000 They had nominated him and were talking about it well before even that point.

00:20:57.000 Well, I think they were playing politics.

00:20:59.000 And honestly, I felt like Barack Obama was thrust into it.

00:21:02.000 Like, I think he woke up and said, good news, Mr. President, you won the Nobel Peace Prize. 0.98

00:21:06.000 He was like, this sh**. 0.97

00:21:08.000 You're probably right. 0.99

00:21:09.000 I'm never going to hear the end of it.

00:21:11.000 Donald Trump's going to ask for my long form.

00:21:12.000 This is not going to go well.

00:21:15.000 My Peace Prize application is going to come out.

00:21:17.000 I don't think he wanted it.

00:21:18.000 He knew he didn't deserve it.

00:21:19.000 I think, if anything, he knew the problems of not just going with merit.

00:21:22.000 If you're just saying, oh, I want to play politics, I want to check boxes, I want to go for the media, you're going to inevitably make decisions that even make the people who have been selected I think Obama was that way.

00:21:34.000 I think he realized he hadn't done anything at that point to deserve it, and then it really watered down the prize and made it something it wasn't.

00:21:40.000 Because he is a connoisseur of reaching high positions of authority without having done anything.

00:21:43.000 Yes.

00:21:44.000 Voting presence has its benefits.

00:21:46.000 Also, academic records sealed.

00:21:49.000 How do you get to Occidental and then Harvard?

00:21:52.000 How do you do that?

00:21:53.000 I have no idea.

00:21:53.000 How do you do that?

00:21:55.000 Still, we're all trying to find out.

00:21:57.000 We're trying to figure it out.

00:21:59.000 Where are the documents?

00:22:00.000 Let's give some context here.

00:22:02.000 Let's not go chemtrails.

00:22:07.000 So everything we're about to say regarding the Nobel Peace Prize is legitimate.

00:22:11.000 I cannot vouch for whatever Court of Black Garrett says.

00:22:16.000 Let's give some context here.

00:22:17.000 This 16-year-old, obviously, Greta Thunberg, for those of you who forget, she is continuing to make headlines.

00:22:21.000 This week, for being the favorite, we don't know right now, at the time of this taping, the Nobel Peace Prize.

00:22:27.000 So she's been nominated for her outstanding work.

00:22:31.000 And just honestly, fantastic.

00:22:34.000 The pinnacle of excellence on the climate change stuff, you know, all that business.

00:22:39.000 And she spoke this week at the ongoing Extinction Rebellion protest, which is a thing, I guess, in London.

00:22:44.000 And we will never stop fighting.

00:22:44.000 Here you go.

00:22:46.000 We will never stop fighting for this planet, and for ourselves, our futures, and for the futures of our children and grandchildren.

00:22:54.000 That's my dad. Dad?

00:22:54.000 What?

00:23:09.000 Your dad is one of the clowns from Rob Zombie's horror films. 0.99

00:23:12.000 And conservatives say the left is satanic. 0.99

00:23:16.000 We're going to put on devil costumes and a white, but there's something really disconcerting about white dreadlocks. 0.92

00:23:22.000 It is, yeah. 0.65

00:23:23.000 It's very diabolical.

00:23:24.000 This doesn't seem right.

00:23:26.000 Oh my god. 0.99

00:23:27.000 It's like a troop of actors that were unemployed got bored one week and they're like, let's go do stupid stuff that means nothing. 0.99

00:23:32.000 And here's what I want to sort of drive home. 0.98

00:23:33.000 We're going to get into some details.

00:23:34.000 A lot of people don't know the history necessarily of the Nobel Peace Prize and the winners, but it's going to be announced I think tomorrow.

00:23:40.000 This whole The whole thing is a fraud, and it really is what bothers me is that it's about optics.

00:23:40.000 It is a sham.

00:23:45.000 Now, this is different from prizes in science, prizes in, I think they have, what do they have, science, is it physics?

00:23:50.000 They have physics, economics.

00:23:51.000 They have literature, they have economics.

00:23:52.000 Don't ask me to lie.

00:23:53.000 But they haven't awarded an economics prize every year.

00:23:55.000 It actually seems to be awarded the least consistently.

00:23:57.000 I don't know why.

00:23:58.000 So I'm not talking about, but the peace prize in and of itself, it's not about who is most deserving.

00:24:04.000 It really is about optics, and that is something that at a certain point you just have to say, well, this serves no purpose.

00:24:08.000 So if we're talking about climate change, right, let's go with that.

00:24:11.000 Let's go with cleaning up the environment.

00:24:12.000 Let's assume that humans can affect it.

00:24:15.000 Let's assume that in some intergovernmental panel we could stop the 1.6 degree warming, which I would not be able to discern if that happened in the studio.

00:24:23.000 Oh my goodness.

00:24:24.000 Oh my god.

00:24:25.000 Okay, then how about giving it to Boynton Slatt?

00:24:29.000 He's a 25-year-old Dutch inventor, entrepreneur, CEO of, I think the company is Ocean Cleanup?

00:24:34.000 Ocean Cleanup.

00:24:34.000 Yeah.

00:24:35.000 He's been working on cleaning up plastic pollution from the ocean since he was 16.

00:24:38.000 Oh, practical.

00:24:39.000 Just this week, he announced, after five years, over 250 models, he has this autonomous plastic retrieval system, and it's successfully retrieving debris from the ocean right now.

00:24:50.000 That's awesome.

00:24:50.000 You mean he doesn't just talk?

00:24:51.000 He actually does something?

00:24:51.000 No!

00:24:52.000 You hear all that, and you go, oh, okay.

00:24:54.000 Point taken.

00:24:56.000 Counterpoint.

00:24:57.000 You all come to us young people for hope.

00:25:01.000 How dare you?

00:25:03.000 You have stolen my dreams, my childhood, with your empty words.

00:25:09.000 And yet, I'm one of the lucky ones.

00:25:13.000 People are suffering.

00:25:15.000 People are dying.

00:25:17.000 Entire ecosystems are collapsing.

00:25:21.000 We are in the beginning of a mass extinction, and all you can talk about is money and fairy tales of eternal economic growth.

00:25:31.000 How dare you?

00:25:32.000 That's so painful to watch.

00:25:35.000 By the way, she also got it for economics.

00:25:36.000 She was getting that this year.

00:25:38.000 Oh, nice.

00:25:38.000 Get outside, Smith and Hayek!

00:25:41.000 I have a legitimate question.

00:25:42.000 How in the world would you get a peace prize for even if she solves global warming? 0.99

00:25:47.000 Like how's that a peace prize?

00:25:49.000 It doesn't seem to fit the category.

00:25:51.000 So what you're saying is that the rules are shifting.

00:25:53.000 I have a procedural question.

00:25:55.000 Objective point here.

00:25:56.000 Well, I think, to understand that Greta Thunberg is winning this prize because, instead of awarding it to real problem solvers, and I do think, even if I disagree with the politics, if someone is actively trying to solve a problem, great!

00:26:07.000 This is all about politics.

00:26:08.000 It used to be for people like Martin Luther King Jr., Mother Teresa, I think it'd be tough to argue with that, like when you think of... Yeah, no.

00:26:14.000 I'm not a Catholic, we're not Catholics, but like, Mother Teresa did some pretty good stuff.

00:26:17.000 Pretty good lady. 0.91

00:26:17.000 I don't have to agree with her on all church doctrine. 0.91

00:26:20.000 Right.

00:26:20.000 I'm a Mother, color me a Mother Teresa fan.

00:26:24.000 Celebrate her entire catalog.

00:26:26.000 Cancel.

00:26:27.000 Hashtag.

00:26:28.000 How dare you.

00:26:29.000 Susan Wojcicki has her finger on the button.

00:26:30.000 Is this?

00:26:31.000 Can I cancel?

00:26:32.000 I'm not sure.

00:26:33.000 Yes.

00:26:34.000 But then we look at the 20th century and it just, it took a turn.

00:26:37.000 So in 1994, let me give you a few examples.

00:26:39.000 You know who won the Peace Prize, Nobel Peace Prize in 1994?

00:26:44.000 Finger on the beat button.

00:26:45.000 Yasser **** Arafat.

00:26:49.000 And I say that to punctuate it.

00:26:50.000 Yes, the founder of PLO.

00:26:51.000 Pioneered, pioneered the terrorist technique of hijacking planes.

00:26:55.000 Murdered 47 people.

00:26:57.000 Innovative to be sure.

00:26:58.000 He was the Steve Jobs of terrorism.

00:27:01.000 Put a little black turtleneck on him, make him a fruitarian. 0.58

00:27:03.000 You couldn't tell the difference.

00:27:04.000 Where did Steve Jobs go?

00:27:05.000 I don't know.

00:27:06.000 Shave the beard.

00:27:06.000 Yes sir!

00:27:09.000 I should have known it was you, yes sir.

00:27:11.000 Oh my gosh.

00:27:12.000 But apparently when you're an actual terrorist, and by the way, is this hyperbole?

00:27:16.000 No.

00:27:17.000 When you're an actual terrorist, you get prizes just for quitting your hijacking habit a little bit.

00:27:23.000 Taking a break.

00:27:24.000 He's the Eddie Haskell of Nobel Peace Prize winners.

00:27:27.000 Killed 47 people, then looks to the committee and goes, gee, your dress looks really great, Mrs. Cleaver. 1.00

00:27:33.000 Kill him. 1.00

00:27:34.000 If he shows up to accept the prize, kill him. 1.00

00:27:35.000 Can we kill him? 1.00

00:27:36.000 Can we kill him then? 1.00

00:27:38.000 Not all people, just terrorists who kill 47 people. 1.00

00:27:40.000 Just him.

00:27:41.000 I don't want to kill the next guy I'm going to talk about.

00:27:43.000 I just don't like him.

00:27:44.000 So I want to make sure that I'm very clear.

00:27:47.000 Operation!

00:27:53.000 In 2007, Al Gore won for his efforts to, I want to make sure I read the quote, disseminate greater knowledge about man-made climate change and to lay the foundations for the measures that are needed to counteract such change along with doing stuff with masseuses.

00:28:05.000 I think more lying, I think, is what the prize was for.

00:28:07.000 No, he didn't lie to the masseuses.

00:28:08.000 He told them what he wanted.

00:28:09.000 Well, he told them what he wanted.

00:28:11.000 He lied to us.

00:28:12.000 And Hansie.

00:28:13.000 You know, the subtitle here was The Invent of the Internet, so... Well, and pants.

00:28:17.000 That was pretty good, you know.

00:28:19.000 I usually get more peaceful when I watch cat videos, so...

00:28:23.000 For you, that's a cooking show.

00:28:26.000 Well, I mean, I'm hungry all the time. 1.00

00:28:28.000 Can we retroactively take these away when it is proven that these people are morons? 1.00

00:28:32.000 We're going to go ahead and take your prize. 1.00

00:28:33.000 Well, effectively, Al Gore got a peace prize for lying.

00:28:36.000 Yes.

00:28:36.000 That's it.

00:28:38.000 Yeah.

00:28:38.000 But now I just can't get out of my head that Bill, half-Asian Bill Richmond is watching a cooking show with cats.

00:28:43.000 Is there like an Asian Guy Fieri who's like, I'm gonna soak this Siamese in vodka! 1.00

00:28:48.000 Ho ho! 1.00

00:28:49.000 We're back to killing cats again, really?

00:28:51.000 No, not killing, eating.

00:28:51.000 No, no, no.

00:28:52.000 Diners, drive-ins, and jarring dissidents!

00:28:55.000 Ho ho! 1.00

00:28:56.000 There's a difference.

00:28:59.000 Racism is fun!

00:29:00.000 It's a great show!

00:29:01.000 I like to have a racist laugh. 0.96

00:29:02.000 Don't forget Barack Obama.

00:29:04.000 Of course, when we talked about that, Barack Obama was awarded the Nobel Prize for his extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples.

00:29:12.000 He wasn't even a year into his presidency.

00:29:14.000 I don't remember the exact length of time.

00:29:15.000 Little did they know that he would be the first president to be at war for all eight years of his two terms.

00:29:22.000 People say, first president?

00:29:23.000 Yes.

00:29:24.000 That's a bad record to ask for, though.

00:29:26.000 For an anti-war president.

00:29:28.000 No, no, but what most unfortunately here is he never used drones to kill anyone.

00:29:34.000 No.

00:29:35.000 That's really critical for us to remember.

00:29:37.000 I think that was also noted in a footnote.

00:29:39.000 No, it was just a mystery.

00:29:41.000 It was fake news.

00:29:42.000 He was just twitching.

00:29:43.000 He was twitch live streaming.

00:29:44.000 He likes to push other buttons.

00:29:44.000 It was an accident.

00:29:46.000 Yeah, he thought it was a game.

00:29:47.000 And out of all those... It's like some realistic jihadi game. 0.98

00:29:51.000 The worst though, lest you still think, well, I don't know, you know, Al Gore, Obama, Yasser Arafat, I guess I can see it.

00:29:56.000 I mean, I can't, but, you know, whatever floats your boat.

00:30:00.000 Here, maybe this will convince you, tip you over the edge.

00:30:03.000 2012, the Nobel Peace Prize was awarded to the European Union.

00:30:10.000 Not a specific member, not the head of it, not like a spearhead, just the European Union.

00:30:17.000 What does that even mean?

00:30:18.000 How does that happen?

00:30:20.000 How full of yourself do you have to be to give a prize, essentially to yourself, to the European Union?

00:30:25.000 We love it.

00:30:26.000 It's wonderful.

00:30:27.000 I do find it interesting, as you know, all the criticism on the left about Citizens United and other cases that say that corporations can donate and have the ability to exercise certain rights because they're a reflection of people, and just the outrage on the left about that.

00:30:38.000 And yet, an entire discombobulated government body created out of whole cloth that has been an unmitigated disaster that everyone's fleeing from.

00:30:48.000 Do you remember what was happening in 2012?

00:30:50.000 Economies were failing, entire countries were going bankrupt in the European Union, but a prize is definitely in order.

00:30:56.000 It's feel good.

00:30:57.000 They needed the gold.

00:30:58.000 I will tell you, I don't fully understand the European Union, because, you know, Pantelis works for us, he helps write, and he's Greek, he blames the Germans, and then the Germans blame the Greeks, and I just think, just bomb that whole area.

00:31:08.000 It's the Greeks.

00:31:09.000 It's the Greeks' fault, for sure. 1.00

00:31:10.000 Just destroy it.

00:31:12.000 It is remarkable, too, while we're talking about the Peace Prize, you know, the United States fought off, obviously, Europe, right?

00:31:18.000 We fought off the old king.

00:31:20.000 We're doing this special next week.

00:31:21.000 We have this thing with Winston Churchill.

00:31:22.000 A parody of Darkest Hour will be the intro.

00:31:24.000 And what's funny, when you listen to that speech, though, he does talk about how if Great Britain falls, that the British Empire will continue the fight.

00:31:31.000 And I'm going, isn't that kind of, like, I get that you didn't gas Jews.

00:31:35.000 That's better.

00:31:36.000 But, like, the British Empire, you did commit some atrocities.

00:31:38.000 A little bit.

00:31:39.000 Like, you're really just saying, we want our empire to continue, and we don't want the Nazi empire. 0.93

00:31:42.000 They're kind of just trying to do what you did, only, you know, supercharged with evil.

00:31:47.000 When you consider it, like, the United States is the only country throughout the history of mankind... By the way, European Union?

00:31:52.000 United States?

00:31:52.000 Peace Prize.

00:31:53.000 Never got it. 1.00

00:31:54.000 The United States kicked the ass of the British. 1.00

00:31:56.000 Most countries would then say, alright, we're crossing the Atlantic, and we're taking over their countries and stealing their sh**. 1.00

00:32:02.000 Not to mention Canada. 0.98

00:32:04.000 Canada still exists!

00:32:05.000 Could you imagine in the old world?

00:32:08.000 We're the only country who could take over every single other... and we don't!

00:32:12.000 And then people try to say, well, you're a nation, but right now we're talking about this, for example.

00:32:15.000 Abandoning, right?

00:32:16.000 And we'll talk about this more next week.

00:32:16.000 The Kurds.

00:32:17.000 I always wait for more evidence as it relates to international sort of foreign policy, because we don't know what's going to unfold.

00:32:24.000 But think about it for a second.

00:32:26.000 Why is it not just another United States?

00:32:28.000 We don't do that.

00:32:30.000 The Ottoman Empire, the Greek Empire, the Romans, any time they could take land, they took it. 0.98

00:32:30.000 Britain didn't do that. 0.98

00:32:36.000 So did the British. 0.96

00:32:37.000 We never got a peace prize.

00:32:38.000 I'm just saying, I'm not sore about it, but I'm kind of sore about it.

00:32:42.000 No, I mean, you know, and what's even better is not only are we not going out there to create new states, of course someone's going to say, oh, we're trying to install democracy in governments that don't want it.

00:32:51.000 Okay, yeah.

00:32:52.000 You know, fans of democracy.

00:32:54.000 But we're even trying to get rid of it.

00:32:55.000 I mean, there's an active movement to just drop California back to Spain, so we're actually reducing our land grab. 0.99

00:33:02.000 We're going overseas and trying to clean up your shit. 0.99

00:33:04.000 I'm sorry, that's exactly what's happening. 0.99

00:33:06.000 You make a mess of things, we come over to try to make sure you drunk people don't fight, and then you get pissed at us.

00:33:11.000 And the people most upset about dropping California back to Spain are Mexicans, because they'd have to relearn Spanish. 0.99

00:33:17.000 I mean, soon it's going to be the Nevada-California border.

00:33:20.000 Mi pito! 0.75

00:33:21.000 Do you mean penne?

00:33:22.000 Catalan.

00:33:23.000 That's the only word I know.

00:33:24.000 Catalan. 1.00

00:33:26.000 Penis. 1.00

00:33:57.000 All right, here's another point about Greta Thunberg. 0.52

00:34:00.000 I guess it's kind of a hybrid of the Nobel Peace Prize.

00:34:03.000 Let's go back to why Greta Thunberg is just a pits. 1.00

00:34:07.000 For one, and this isn't her fault, she's a child, right?

00:34:11.000 We're talking about giving away a prize.

00:34:12.000 Now listen, I'm not saying, please let me be clear, I'm not saying that we should never listen to young people, like David Bowie and such, like I get it.

00:34:18.000 These children that you spit on as they try to change the world.

00:34:25.000 I don't listen to British Empire music.

00:34:29.000 I'm still on Friendster.

00:34:31.000 Yes, that's where we're at.

00:34:32.000 Here we go.

00:34:33.000 And Metallica.

00:34:34.000 We're back.

00:34:36.000 You pussed out on Metallica last time, buddy.

00:34:38.000 You don't get a second bite of Seattle.

00:34:39.000 What happened to Ask Jeeves?

00:34:41.000 I thought it was a surge.

00:34:44.000 It made my life better.

00:34:46.000 Okay.

00:34:51.000 Netscape never gave it up.

00:34:53.000 It's really just Cree.

00:34:54.000 It's just people like, they just have no access to modern technology.

00:34:58.000 My point is, I'm not saying that you should never listen to young people.

00:35:06.000 I think that we can learn a lot from young people.

00:35:07.000 I really do.

00:35:08.000 But allowing them to dictate policy?

00:35:12.000 I mean, my biggest problem here is that they use these children as human shields to be immune from criticism.

00:35:19.000 They did it with David Hogg.

00:35:20.000 And let me tell you this, Republicans do it too.

00:35:23.000 At CPAC, remember, I had to introduce Jonathan Crone, who was like the conservative.

00:35:27.000 How do we pronounce this their way?

00:35:28.000 Is it Wunderkind?

00:35:30.000 Wunderkind.

00:35:31.000 I always hear it Wunderkind, but we're American.

00:35:34.000 It's like Wienerschnitzel. 0.85

00:35:35.000 It's just like España. 1.00

00:35:38.000 F*** you, Spain. 1.00

00:35:39.000 I'm gonna change that. 1.00

00:35:40.000 We are like that.

00:35:41.000 That's pretty much what we do.

00:35:42.000 By the way, they do it with us.

00:35:43.000 We all do it.

00:35:44.000 I'm sorry for the bleep button.

00:35:47.000 But Republicans do it too.

00:35:48.000 I introduced Jonathan Cronin.

00:35:49.000 I remember I got into trouble because I was talking about it on Red Eye, and I said, you know, I think it's... I'm always uncomfortable with a 12-year-old sort of Alex B. Keaton lookalike, because I think they're really parroting what their parents are telling them to say, and there's a very strong likelihood that he will end up being a pot-smoking hippie at Berkeley.

00:36:06.000 I was right about all of it, except he went to Columbia.

00:36:10.000 And then there was another, I can't remember his name, there was a young black conservative who was making the rounds, wanted to be, I think we had him on once, but then he was supporting Ted Cruz, then he was supporting Bernie Sanders, and then he went back to Trump.

00:36:22.000 There is a lot of, I don't want to say grifting, but the thing is, there is an open avenue to push the gimmick of being young.

00:36:28.000 And a lot of politicians... Could you say their opinions aren't developed yet?

00:36:32.000 Yes.

00:36:33.000 And by the way, you can be a person who already has established your values.

00:36:38.000 My values aren't all that different from when I was 14 or 15 or 16.

00:36:42.000 But you shouldn't be given a national platform.

00:36:46.000 And I certainly don't think that you should be allowed to dictate policy, international policy, when you have yet to make income.

00:36:52.000 Well, think about it.

00:36:54.000 It's trying to make the messenger immune to bolster the message, right?

00:36:57.000 You're saying if this thing was to stand, if the words she was saying were to stand on their own, that anyone should be able to say them.

00:37:03.000 It shouldn't take the youths of Europe to come up and say, hey, this is what it is to give it extra credibility.

00:37:10.000 But whenever they say those other things, it never gets this kind of attention and certainly doesn't get any kind of credibility.

00:37:15.000 I mean, if you went up at a UN climate panel and you just said, Yeah, you ruined my dreams. 0.78

00:37:22.000 They'd be like, I don't think half-Asian Bill's retarded. 1.00

00:37:24.000 I think they would. 0.92

00:37:26.000 They would be wondering, why is my hair braided?

00:37:28.000 Why am I wearing a pink dress? 1.00

00:37:30.000 And why am I talking like an idiot? 1.00

00:37:32.000 Yeah, it just wouldn't make any sense. 0.99

00:37:34.000 I thought the Veruca Salt lookalike convention was next door.

00:37:39.000 By the way, he's also, like, he should not place because he does not look like Veruca Stealth at all.

00:37:44.000 Did all those children die in that film?

00:37:45.000 you know.

00:37:45.000 Yes.

00:37:46.000 Who's the German kid? 1.00

00:37:47.000 Oh my gosh.

00:37:48.000 Augustus Gloop.

00:37:49.000 Augustus Gloop.

00:37:50.000 Did all those children die in that film?

00:37:54.000 Yes.

00:37:55.000 No, they died.

00:37:56.000 They're all dead.

00:37:56.000 That's awful.

00:37:57.000 Yeah, sorry.

00:37:58.000 All except for Charlie.

00:37:59.000 Willy Wonka killed all of them.

00:38:00.000 Yeah, he did. 0.72

00:38:00.000 He promised them free chocolate and then committed murder. 0.72

00:38:03.000 Yeah, welcome to the real world.

00:38:05.000 All right.

00:38:05.000 Oh, God.

00:38:06.000 But yeah, you're right.

00:38:07.000 They really are holding themselves.

00:38:08.000 They are immune to criticism.

00:38:09.000 Just watch this leftist lose his mind at the slightest criticism of Greta Thunberg.

00:38:15.000 You're a grown man and you're attacking a child. 0.91

00:38:17.000 Shame on you.

00:38:18.000 She's trying to do what she thinks is right.

00:38:20.000 And by the way, now, all right, relax.

00:38:22.000 Skinny boy, I got this.

00:38:24.000 You're freaking out, not me. 0.98

00:38:25.000 Knocking a child. 0.98

00:38:28.000 Bring a skinny boy, insults him. 0.97

00:38:29.000 Yeah, right, yeah. 0.98

00:38:31.000 Okay, just, you're just gonna act just because I banged your mom. 0.91

00:38:34.000 Calm down. 0.99

00:38:38.000 All right, slow your roll, Jew! 1.00

00:38:40.000 Why are you doing this?

00:38:43.000 At first, I was like, oh, is he complimenting him?

00:38:45.000 I was like, oh, no, it's an insult.

00:38:46.000 OK, he's going to the insult.

00:38:47.000 How is that an insult?

00:38:48.000 I don't get it.

00:38:48.000 Context clues.

00:38:49.000 Context clues.

00:38:49.000 I don't really understand this.

00:38:50.000 Or an athletic person who could run and defend himself.

00:38:52.000 Just calm down.

00:38:53.000 Skinny boy. 0.98

00:38:54.000 All right, man who has a 40-yard dash that would be competitive at the combine, piss off! 0.95

00:39:00.000 That's a nice guy. 0.97

00:39:04.000 You're not fit to hold Greta's braid.

00:39:10.000 Let's compare that with the treatment of, if you remember, the Covington children.

00:39:15.000 Swift backlash against the behavior of those Kentucky teens who traveled to Washington this past Friday on a school trip to attend the March for Life.

00:39:23.000 The diocese of Covington Catholic High School, where some of the boys attend, condemning their actions, saying in a statement, this behavior is opposed to the church's teachings of dignity and respect.

00:39:33.000 The matter is being investigated and we will take appropriate action up to and including expulsion.

00:39:39.000 Yeah, I mean the behavior of simply standing there smiling while they're being berated by black Hebrew Israelites. 1.00

00:39:45.000 What's happening? 0.99

00:39:45.000 That is gross. 0.99

00:39:46.000 Black Hebrew Israelites! 1.00

00:39:47.000 What's happening?

00:39:48.000 That was broke.

00:39:49.000 The Hebrew is a right! 1.00

00:39:50.000 I thought you were him beaking my link.

00:39:54.000 So kind.

00:39:55.000 And it makes it all the way up to the diocese? 0.76

00:39:58.000 Shouldn't you be more concerned that those kids that they weren't had sex with, that people didn't make sex with them?

00:40:04.000 Like, that would be my concern.

00:40:06.000 Just saying!

00:40:07.000 Take an altar boy, leave an altar boy. 0.53

00:40:09.000 The main difference here...

00:40:10.000 is that they didn't choose.

00:40:13.000 When you talk about the company, they didn't choose to be in the spot.

00:40:15.000 They were just there.

00:40:15.000 Well, how can you?

00:40:16.000 No, I actually think that you can point out a double standard

00:40:19.000 and say that one is defensible.

00:40:21.000 A, they didn't do anything wrong.

00:40:22.000 Not that Greta did anything wrong, necessarily.

00:40:24.000 I think her opinions are wrong.

00:40:26.000 I think her parents have done something wrong.

00:40:29.000 But when you compare it, the company gets it.

00:40:31.000 It was someone with a phone who took it out of context, and then their lives were ruined.

00:40:34.000 Greta decided to thrust herself into the spotlight.

00:40:37.000 And so I do believe that there's a certain level of criticism, which is valid at that point.

00:40:42.000 You certainly shouldn't be immune from it just because of your age if you decided that you are going to be the Torchbearer.

00:40:49.000 That's just my thought.

00:40:49.000 And I think, yes, we should be more forgiving of children.

00:40:53.000 Absolutely, they make mistakes.

00:40:54.000 But they shouldn't all get a pass, right?

00:40:58.000 If a kid murders somebody, we don't try them as an adult.

00:41:01.000 We're like, you know what, though?

00:41:03.000 Timmy?

00:41:04.000 Naughty, naughty.

00:41:06.000 A little bit more stern than that.

00:41:08.000 You're going to be on the news.

00:41:12.000 And it's not gonna be fun.

00:41:13.000 If you are gonna go out and represent any position, I don't care what your age is, you need to know your stuff.

00:41:17.000 You need to be steeped in this.

00:41:20.000 She basically just got pissed off and started skipping school on Friday to protest. 0.99

00:41:23.000 And maybe she's done some research, but there is no way that she is capable of going out and giving a speech that has any substance.

00:41:29.000 Look at what she said.

00:41:30.000 You've stolen my dreams.

00:41:32.000 You've stolen my future.

00:41:33.000 We're on the edge of an extinction.

00:41:35.000 And none of that's true!

00:41:36.000 And everybody's like, so brave.

00:41:39.000 So what's interesting is even American law as it relates to the First Amendment has a concept of if you thrust yourself into the light it's called being a public figure or a limited purpose public figure.

00:41:49.000 So even a person who's private who decides to actively put themselves into the light is now at a different standard for defamation, slander, libel,

00:41:57.000 those types of things.

00:41:59.000 And it's a natural outgrowth of, of course, the King's Law that we've derived some of

00:42:03.000 our laws from.

00:42:04.000 And the concept is very clear.

00:42:05.000 If you choose that, you're giving up a certain level of ability to say, oh, I shouldn't be

00:42:10.000 criticized.

00:42:11.000 The law doesn't talk about the criticism part, but being able to say, hey, we're going to

00:42:15.000 attack your ideas and push back on them and criticize them.

00:42:19.000 And I think what you said is perfect.

00:42:20.000 It's not that she did something wrong per se.

00:42:23.000 She's, you know, subjecting her parents, putting her out there, but we definitely have to criticize the ideas, and it's hard not to criticize those ideas without criticizing the vessel as well.

00:42:33.000 Let me clarify.

00:42:34.000 This is everything wrong with the concept.

00:42:38.000 This is everything wrong with the circus that is Thunberg.

00:42:41.000 Okay?

00:42:42.000 Not necessarily her.

00:42:43.000 So another point, everything wrong about it. 0.99

00:42:44.000 She's the mental issue. 1.00

00:42:46.000 Can we not say mentally ill? 0.98

00:42:48.000 As someone who's suffered from mental illness, I've been pretty open about it.

00:42:51.000 Thunberg is diagnosed with Asperger's syndrome, also obsessive-compulsive disorder, and a new one for me, selective mutism.

00:42:58.000 And I know what you're thinking. 0.91

00:42:59.000 Selective mutism sounds like bullsh**. 0.97

00:43:01.000 We'll come back. 0.98

00:43:03.000 She was also said to suffer from severe depression, eating disorders, and panic attacks.

00:43:09.000 Here's my question.

00:43:10.000 This is not about her, I'm not condemning her for struggling with whatever, being, what do they call it?

00:43:14.000 Neurodiverse?

00:43:16.000 I don't know.

00:43:16.000 If she's struggling with depression, and as someone who has struggled with depression, it's a mental illness.

00:43:20.000 Doesn't mean that it needs to be debilitating, but I think we should be honest about this, and I don't think we should silence people for bringing it up.

00:43:26.000 I am not at all condemning Greta for struggling with whichever one of these afflictions she may have.

00:43:32.000 But why would anyone in their right mind use her as a political pawn knowing that she responds so poorly to stress?

00:43:41.000 This clip is sad.

00:43:43.000 ...create a safe passage to...

00:43:47.000 Sorry, my brain is not working correctly.

00:43:52.000 Yeah.

00:43:54.000 And look, I hate to hear that cheer.

00:44:04.000 She goes, I'm sorry, my brain is not working.

00:44:06.000 And they cheer.

00:44:07.000 Like, listen, I'm sorry if you're an adult and you say, I'm sorry, my brain is not working.

00:44:10.000 People don't cheer.

00:44:10.000 Right?

00:44:11.000 And people are saying, well, give her a break.

00:44:12.000 English is her second language.

00:44:13.000 She's autistic. 0.99

00:44:14.000 You know what I say?

00:44:15.000 Yes.

00:44:16.000 Yes.

00:44:16.000 English is her second language.

00:44:17.000 She's autistic, depressive, obsessive-compulsive, has anxiety-driven selective mutism. 0.96

00:44:22.000 Let's give her a break by not thrusting her into an international spotlight where she 1.00

00:44:26.000 will be forced to talk with multiple people and face justifiable criticism on a global

00:44:32.000 scale.

00:44:33.000 Let me posit something here, okay?

00:44:36.000 I do believe, let me be really clear, I do believe in autism.

00:44:39.000 I think it's an Asperger's.

00:44:40.000 Some people are saying it's not a thing.

00:44:41.000 ADHD, I understand.

00:44:42.000 Depression, yes.

00:44:43.000 I'm not one of those people who thinks it's made up and it's all in your head.

00:44:46.000 Selective mutism, I don't know anything about.

00:44:48.000 Has anyone else here heard about that before?

00:44:50.000 Okay, I've never heard anything about it.

00:44:51.000 But I will say about all of the others, Asperger's, ADHD, I think we can also agree that a lot

00:44:57.000 of these issues, they're overly diagnosed and kids are overly medicated.

00:45:01.000 I think those two things can be true.

00:45:03.000 So the parents are obviously the ones guiding the ship that leads to these diagnoses.

00:45:08.000 The same parents, by the way, who dress her in the Antifa flag, lest you forget.

00:45:15.000 But if you were to pick a person off a rack, right, and pick any mental affliction that you could, in an attempt to make them immune from criticism, this is what you would pick.

00:45:24.000 Think about it.

00:45:25.000 You'd say, well, hold on a second.

00:45:26.000 She's autistic, so she can't speak well. 1.00

00:45:28.000 She's manic-depressive.

00:45:29.000 She has anxiety, so she may not be able to perform.

00:45:31.000 And she has selective mutism, so she won't answer your questions. 0.62

00:45:35.000 Also, antifa.

00:45:37.000 So she might throw a bottle at your head. 1.00

00:45:39.000 You never really know.

00:45:40.000 The other part of that is also think about someone who would be the most likely to be susceptible to the type of brainwashing.

00:45:49.000 Ready to accept whatever is said without facts and then to give an emotional plea.

00:45:55.000 I think that she's actually feeling the emotions that you see there, but are those emotions based on any facts?

00:46:00.000 I think that's a very different thing.

00:46:02.000 And there was more outrage over Michael Noe's comment pointing out that she had mental illness.

00:46:06.000 Not making fun of her for it. 1.00

00:46:08.000 Not making a point about her being stupid and she can't talk. 1.00

00:46:11.000 Just pointing out. 1.00

00:46:11.000 By the way, that wasn't Oppo Research that revealed it. 1.00

00:46:14.000 It was a book that her mom wrote that revealed all of that.

00:46:16.000 That wasn't like we had to go out and dig up stuff on her.

00:46:18.000 We're just reporting it.

00:46:19.000 And nobody's pissed off at the parents?

00:46:21.000 Like, come on guys.

00:46:22.000 You don't see this as manipulation?

00:46:23.000 I think it's borderline child abuse.

00:46:24.000 It could end very badly.

00:46:25.000 And cancelled.

00:46:26.000 By the way, point number four that's wrong with Greta Thunberg is the cultism, right? 0.99

00:46:30.000 This cult of personality.

00:46:31.000 Maybe the most bizarre aspect of this is they're actually celebrating Greta as some sort of saint.

00:46:36.000 We've said this for a while, that the left's new religion is just secular humanism.

00:46:40.000 It's earth worship.

00:46:41.000 It's Gaia.

00:46:41.000 It's climate change alarmism, right?

00:46:44.000 You want to solve the problem, kill all people. 0.99

00:46:46.000 That's what it is. 0.99

00:46:47.000 Let's consider the context here.

00:46:48.000 NBC, they've now launched a website.

00:46:51.000 Where you can confess your climate sins.

00:46:53.000 What?

00:46:54.000 Really.

00:46:55.000 Oh my gosh.

00:46:55.000 Hey, hey, hey, hey, multinational billion-dollar corporation NBC, you first.

00:47:00.000 How about that?

00:47:03.000 How many, how many people with, how many people had to develop that website when they were drinking from aluminum Red Bull cans and having caffeine farts?

00:47:14.000 Those are a thing?

00:47:15.000 I'm just saying, did you need to do the box set of the office?

00:47:19.000 Couldn't you just put them in a vanilla envelope?

00:47:21.000 Let's just be real here.

00:47:22.000 We're talking about sacrifices you guys can make the most, right?

00:47:26.000 We talk about taxing the rich.

00:47:27.000 Well, how about we talk about the people who waste the most as far as plastic, as far as emissions, space.

00:47:34.000 How about you confess first and change it up?

00:47:37.000 Now we have op-eds.

00:47:38.000 They're referring to Greta as Joan of Arc.

00:47:41.000 Climate activists have been portraying her as Mary or Christ and Sarah Silverman

00:47:45.000 both Yeah, what was the Sarah Silverman in blackface or not

00:47:51.000 No, this was just normal Sarah. I didn't see the clip. So it was Sarah Silverman and horse face. Okay

00:47:57.000 And the Church of Sweden they've declared her the successor of Jesus Christ, which is odd considering that Silverman

00:48:06.000 doesn't even believe in Jesus Christ Yeah, right

00:48:09.000 What why do you have to like push this person to sainthood like

00:48:13.000 I don't understand why you're looking for... I don't think this is Greta's fault that people are doing this, right?

00:48:17.000 I think people are just stupid. 1.00

00:48:18.000 They're just really, really stupid. 1.00

00:48:20.000 You're the second coming of Moses. 1.00

00:48:23.000 I don't want to be the second coming of Moses.

00:48:24.000 I don't think he understands.

00:48:25.000 The point is, I'm a Jesus guy.

00:48:27.000 I don't want to be a pirate.

00:48:28.000 It's just odd to me that someone who's an atheist Jew sees the second coming of Christ. 0.98

00:48:32.000 Hey, you've got to give Greta Thunberg some credit here. 1.00

00:48:34.000 I mean, it takes a lot to make someone see someone else as God, okay?

00:48:37.000 It's true.

00:48:38.000 And to believe in it.

00:48:38.000 No!

00:48:39.000 In this case, it doesn't take a lot.

00:48:40.000 It takes somebody saying, Keeps telling my dreams.

00:48:43.000 Like, that's all it is.

00:48:44.000 Why do they sound like the kids from Flowers in the Attic?

00:48:47.000 He never came for us, mother!

00:48:49.000 All right, I think it's a final point here.

00:48:51.000 Point number five, we do have to get to the Hodgkin Institute. 0.88

00:48:53.000 Greta, this is one of her... She is a fraud. 1.00

00:48:56.000 The idea, what's been built around her is fraudulent.

00:48:59.000 She made headlines that she was sailing, right?

00:49:01.000 Instead of flying to the United States to avoid emissions.

00:49:03.000 Here's something they don't tell you.

00:49:04.000 Her crew, not one or two, her whole crew then had to fly back. 0.81

00:49:10.000 Life is reducing more missions than it would have just taken to fly her there in the first place.

00:49:16.000 You sailed across the Atlantic on your own.

00:49:18.000 Congratulations, you get a peace prize.

00:49:19.000 Oh wait, you just rowed the sailboat while the crew operated it and then flew back.

00:49:28.000 It's remarkable.

00:49:29.000 Again, all of this is a photo op.

00:49:31.000 It really is propaganda.

00:49:32.000 And then after all that, of course, she attended the UN Climate Change Action Summit and she filed a complaint against five countries.

00:49:38.000 We should get right on that.

00:49:39.000 That's good.

00:49:39.000 Not among them, by the way.

00:49:41.000 China!

00:49:42.000 Sorry, Bill.

00:49:42.000 Biggest producer of CO2 emissions.

00:49:44.000 I don't know who you got to talk to there, but put it in the suggestion box.

00:49:47.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:49:48.000 Bad on human rights, bad on climate.

00:49:51.000 I think one of the interesting things is when you dive into the process for this, so people don't know this, you know, most people think, oh, you know, Alfred Nobel, he's Swedish.

00:49:59.000 All the other awards are given by a Swedish committee.

00:50:01.000 The Peace Prize is given by a Norwegian committee.

00:50:04.000 The Nordic government gets to choose who's on that committee, and the guy who was proposing that the European Union be an awardee.

00:50:10.000 He's still on the committee now.

00:50:12.000 There are two members.

00:50:14.000 A minority of this five-person committee is actually pro-conservative.

00:50:18.000 But we'll see how the actual votes come out when things come out.

00:50:20.000 Because the clear change has been that they're willing to do this for politics as opposed to anything else.

00:50:26.000 That was incredibly insightful, but you lost me at Swedish and Norwegian because I don't understand the difference.

00:50:30.000 I think if you look at the Swedish chef versus... yeah.

00:50:34.000 Vikings?

00:50:34.000 Vikings is what?

00:50:35.000 I don't know.

00:50:36.000 I do know that Green... yeah.

00:50:40.000 Iceland is very nice.

00:50:41.000 Greenland.

00:50:42.000 Covered with ice.

00:50:42.000 Yeah.

00:50:43.000 I found that out from Muddy Ducks, too.

00:50:44.000 The girl who was dating Gordon Bombay when they went out for ice cream.

00:50:46.000 So, let me just tell you.

00:50:47.000 That is word for word.

00:50:49.000 I don't know why I remember this.

00:50:50.000 It's... I'm probably more disturbed than Greta's parents.

00:50:54.000 Impossible.

00:50:55.000 In many ways.

00:50:55.000 I don't blame Greta.

00:50:56.000 I really don't.

00:50:57.000 I want to be really clear here, lest we be banned.

00:50:59.000 Or for the opera.

00:51:00.000 I have no idea.

00:51:01.000 You know what?

00:51:02.000 Fair play.

00:51:05.000 I do blame the parents and the people, all people who use children as political pawns.

00:51:09.000 If anything, I wish that I could talk to Greta and tell her that these people, just like we said this about David Hogg, and look, where is David Hogg now?

00:51:18.000 These people are going to use you up, Greta. 1.00

00:51:21.000 Chew you and spit you out. 0.98

00:51:23.000 The end result of political wunderkinds perfectly mirrors that of child stars.

00:51:28.000 The most valuable skill that Greta needs to acquire in life right now, right now, Greta if I could talk to you, it's not confidence, it's not boldness, it's not bravado, it's discernment.

00:51:38.000 Specifically discernment In who to trust.

00:51:41.000 That's gonna be big for you, sweetheart.

00:51:43.000 I really don't want to see you go the path of David Hogg or Corey Haim.

00:51:47.000 All right, we have the Hodgetwins coming up after this.

00:51:50.000 I'm looking forward to it, but have your finger on the beat.

00:51:53.000 Ha ha! 0.86

00:51:57.000 This is for all you lovers out there.

00:52:00.000 Ha ha! 0.86

00:52:04.000 You're not my dad.

00:52:07.000 Watch this and more at our other channel, Crowder Bits.

00:52:12.000 Dude, you are so bad at this game. 0.98

00:52:19.000 I just keep killing you over and over again. 1.00

00:52:21.000 Yes! 1.00

00:52:21.000 That's what you get, man. 1.00

00:52:25.000 You need some kind of training or something.

00:52:26.000 Somebody get your skills up.

00:52:28.000 I'm gonna look at some tutorials and stuff.

00:52:30.000 Yeah, you need it.

00:52:33.000 Hello?

00:52:33.000 Yes?

00:52:34.000 The police?

00:52:35.000 Yes.

00:52:36.000 That is the correct address.

00:52:38.000 Aye, I'm the police.

00:52:44.000 Is that the guy?

00:52:46.000 Yes, it is.

00:52:47.000 What did I do?

00:52:48.000 We got a complaint about you making terrorist threats. 1.00

00:52:51.000 I quote, I'm going to kill you over and over again. 1.00

00:52:55.000 Raise red flag. 1.00

00:52:56.000 Come on, it was just trash talk. 0.99

00:52:58.000 Dude, tell him. 0.98

00:52:59.000 His gun's in the other room, I believe.

00:53:02.000 It's good enough for me.

00:53:03.000 Some of you may be concerned with what you're hearing about red flag laws.

00:53:07.000 You need to protect yourself from being on the wrong side of a red flag law.

00:53:11.000 That's why you need firearms legal protection.

00:53:14.000 With our 24-7 emergency hotline and plans designed specifically for the firearms owner,

00:53:19.000 firearms legal protection is the best legal protection you can have for self-defense.

00:53:23.000 Did he say dingle dine?

00:53:35.000 Dingle-down, I think.

00:53:35.000 Dingle-down?

00:53:36.000 I don't know. 1.00

00:53:37.000 I mean, I've heard of white Americans who are out of touch with black culture, but that's just ridiculous. 0.98

00:53:42.000 I don't know. 0.97

00:53:42.000 How are we supposed to know what dingle-down is? 0.97

00:53:44.000 What kind of terminology is that? 0.99

00:53:46.000 Canadians are the worst at it. 0.99

00:53:47.000 Canadian black people, it's like this hybrid of them wanting to be American. 1.00

00:53:51.000 I didn't know they had black people up there.

00:53:52.000 Very few. 0.98

00:53:53.000 Most of them are just Haitian, and French Canadians can't stand them because they're racist. 0.99

00:53:56.000 But we had a few black kids who would create this lingo, and it was a hybrid of Canadian as well as American, and that's when it started to chill. 0.90

00:54:04.000 Like, yo, dude, that's so chill.

00:54:06.000 I think that's a thing now.

00:54:07.000 Another one was, that's jokes.

00:54:09.000 Someone said that to me once, and I said, that's funny.

00:54:11.000 They said, man, that's jokes.

00:54:12.000 I said, what?

00:54:13.000 Okay.

00:54:14.000 But jokes, what are you talking about?

00:54:15.000 Like, do you mean joke as in a verb?

00:54:17.000 And I don't know what he was talking about.

00:54:18.000 And we weren't friends.

00:54:19.000 He's like, yeah.

00:54:20.000 So I guess the liberals won.

00:54:22.000 They divided and conquered through language yet again. 0.87

00:54:24.000 That's jokes.

00:54:25.000 What does that mean?

00:54:25.000 All right.

00:54:26.000 Maybe our next guest can help us.

00:54:27.000 Crowd favorites.

00:54:28.000 You know them.

00:54:29.000 You love them.

00:54:29.000 You can follow them at Hodgetwins.

00:54:31.000 Before I bring them on, I'm going to toss to a clip.

00:54:33.000 You can follow them at Hodgetwinstour.com because they're speaking live quite a bit.

00:54:37.000 And they're doing more of that now since YouTube apparently is giving them similar treatment as our It's all going around.

00:54:42.000 But I was – listen, let me set this context before we bring them on.

00:54:46.000 The first time we had them in the studio, they were like, man, I don't know, because they weren't out of the – they weren't really conservative, right?

00:54:53.000 They kind of were just – I thought military entrepreneurs, they might instinctively be more traditional, successful.

00:55:00.000 And I think I read an interview with them in like the Rob Report, which is basically like a – it's like a magazine about yachting.

00:55:06.000 I don't know, maybe they have a yacht.

00:55:07.000 But now, it seems as though they've crossed over entirely, because I caught this, the full video, we just have a clip of them headlining the Black Leadership Summit, I believe, from Turning Point, USA.

00:55:19.000 Here you go, here's a quick clip.

00:55:20.000 Just the other day, this lady on Instagram called me a boot-licking Uncle Tom. 1.00

00:55:24.000 I was like, man, why can't I just be an Uncle Tom? 0.98

00:55:27.000 I gotta lick their boots too. 1.00

00:55:31.000 All right. 0.97

00:55:33.000 I think they're here.

00:55:34.000 Hodge twins Keith and Kevin, can you hear me, sirs?

00:55:36.000 Yes, loud and clear.

00:55:38.000 Thank you for having us.

00:55:39.000 Well, you are welcome.

00:55:40.000 You don't have to lick my boots.

00:55:41.000 Listen, it's okay.

00:55:42.000 You're already here.

00:55:43.000 Thank God!

00:55:44.000 We gave you a good plug.

00:55:46.000 What happened here?

00:55:48.000 You were sort of pulled into this kicking and screaming, and now I see you headlining a summit from one of the most reviled right-wing organizations in the world.

00:55:59.000 Tell us the transition.

00:56:00.000 How did that occur?

00:56:02.000 Well, it started with you about a couple years ago.

00:56:04.000 I'm sorry.

00:56:04.000 Remember when you grabbed us on that show, you just stuck us in the corner and said, come on, do it.

00:56:11.000 That's right.

00:56:12.000 And then you said that one of you said that you voted for Mitt Romney.

00:56:14.000 And I think he got some flack for that. 0.75

00:56:17.000 Yeah, it turns out he's a rhino. 0.98

00:56:20.000 He's a fake Republican. 0.98

00:56:21.000 Right.

00:56:22.000 I think that whole Obama thing was a setup.

00:56:24.000 Really? 1.00

00:56:24.000 He ran against two rhinos and a horrible white woman. 1.00

00:56:30.000 I guess so. 0.99

00:56:30.000 Pretty much everyone loses. 0.99

00:56:32.000 Let me ask you this.

00:56:33.000 First off, before we move on to TPUSA and what you're doing, you guys have had some stuff happen on YouTube, right?

00:56:39.000 You had a video removed for hate speech?

00:56:41.000 Is that what I'm hearing?

00:56:42.000 Second video removed for Hate Speaks.

00:56:45.000 It was the Pete Buttigieg video.

00:56:47.000 We did a video because he was on The Breakfast Club talking to Charlemagne Tha God.

00:56:51.000 I still don't know why they call him Tha God.

00:56:53.000 It should be Charlemagne Tha Fool, but we did a video because... Why is it called Charlemagne?

00:56:58.000 I mean, that's a historical reference.

00:56:59.000 Like, do you think he knows?

00:57:00.000 He's trying to latch onto it.

00:57:01.000 I don't know.

00:57:02.000 Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt your story.

00:57:03.000 I'm just out of touch, white guy.

00:57:04.000 Continue.

00:57:05.000 Trying to talk here, Steven!

00:57:06.000 Apologies.

00:57:10.000 Well, we did a video on Pete Buttigieg on Breakfast Club.

00:57:12.000 He was actually using the Bible to try to advocate for abortion.

00:57:18.000 We did a video.

00:57:19.000 I didn't say anything too mean.

00:57:21.000 I was just paraphrasing from the Bible. 0.99

00:57:24.000 I said, Thou shalt not stick of thy mushroom tippers in thy ass. 1.00

00:57:28.000 That's all I said. 1.00

00:57:32.000 And I told him to shut up because he don't even have sex with women. 0.99

00:57:34.000 And you don't even have the right to begin with. 0.98

00:57:38.000 I think men need to have more rights because right now, if you're in a relationship with a woman, you could get in a huge argument. 0.85

00:57:45.000 Right?

00:57:46.000 And that woman, six, seven, eight months, can go get an abortion. 1.00

00:57:48.000 And I don't have no say so. 0.99

00:57:50.000 That's why I'm telling Pete Buttigieg, shut up! 0.99

00:57:52.000 Yeah.

00:57:53.000 I don't necessarily know how you make that leap to, hey, men should have a say in what we do with our offspring, to mushroom tip in sphincter.

00:58:00.000 Which, thank you, though, for repeating exactly what it was that got your video removed on my program.

00:58:06.000 Yeah.

00:58:07.000 We're getting notifications.

00:58:08.000 I appreciate it, guys.

00:58:09.000 This video's a goner.

00:58:13.000 Yes, and I think you were calling actually, you know, Darren, my dad is the booker for the show.

00:58:18.000 Did you call asking about the half-Asian lawyer?

00:58:21.000 Is that what I heard?

00:58:22.000 Yeah, I said, man, what's up with this half-Asian dude lawyer, man? 1.00

00:58:27.000 Because we got over 200,000 subscribers on our Conservative Twins channel now, and you got a second strike.

00:58:33.000 We're on the verge of losing that channel for hate speech.

00:58:36.000 Yeah, which is amazing.

00:58:37.000 Wow.

00:58:39.000 All that work that went into this channel, it's on the verge of being taken down.

00:58:42.000 Because you know the third strike, they delete your channel.

00:58:45.000 Yeah, right.

00:58:45.000 So it's frustrating.

00:58:47.000 Well, I will say half-Asian lawyer Bill Richmond is plenty busy with me, but I'll see what he can do. 1.00

00:58:51.000 Maybe he can sort of feather you into the LGBTQ lawsuit against YouTube. 0.84

00:58:56.000 Yeah, see if he can find room for half-black guys, you know? 1.00

00:58:58.000 Yeah. 0.99

00:58:59.000 Apparently YouTube didn't see you're 23 and me, otherwise they'd be shaking in their boots, which you would subsequently lick. 0.91

00:59:04.000 Let me ask you. 0.72

00:59:05.000 You have to.

00:59:06.000 That's just them's the break.

00:59:07.000 Sorry.

00:59:08.000 You didn't choose to be born into that skin. 1.00

00:59:11.000 What was it that happened?

00:59:13.000 Not only YouTube has gotten upset with you, but you lost followers from doing some of your political videos, which surprised me because it seems like your audiences are packed now when you perform live.

00:59:23.000 Yes, none but white people. 0.84

00:59:27.000 Like, when we came out the closet, right?

00:59:29.000 We came out the closet about a year and a half ago.

00:59:31.000 Yeah.

00:59:31.000 We was doing it to help black people, show black people you don't have to vote based on your skin color.

00:59:35.000 Yeah.

00:59:35.000 Right?

00:59:35.000 And our shows used to have a whole lot more color to them.

00:59:38.000 But now when we get to our show, man, it looks like a Bruce Springsteen concert.

00:59:42.000 It's like a handful of black people.

00:59:44.000 It's diverse.

00:59:44.000 Yeah, when we was at Turning Point USA, I thought I walked into the Twilight Zone.

00:59:48.000 It was a number of black people wearing MAGA hats.

00:59:53.000 That's what I was trying to do, man.

00:59:54.000 weird to me.

00:59:55.000 And you know what's crazy?

00:59:57.000 They looked so happy.

00:59:58.000 Man, it looked like Trump had just gave them reparations or something.

01:00:01.000 It was amazing.

01:00:02.000 But I was so happy.

01:00:04.000 That's what I was trying to do, man.

01:00:05.000 I was trying to help black people come out and perform in front of a bunch of black folks

01:00:08.000 wearing MAG hats.

01:00:09.000 Yeah.

01:00:10.000 And I think it was important because, you know, you have a lot of people who sort of

01:00:14.000 come up through the ranks as, I'm a black conservative.

01:00:16.000 That's my thing.

01:00:17.000 You guys, I mean, Reg is actually here right now, one of our researchers, who is a very, very strong guy.

01:00:22.000 He's competed in powerlifting.

01:00:23.000 He's been a fan of yours for a long time.

01:00:24.000 When we brought you in, you didn't come up as black conservative commentators.

01:00:28.000 You were successful black entertainment artists who then came out of the closet as conservatives.

01:00:34.000 So you stood to lose something, which is why I think it was harder and I think is more helpful to people out there.

01:00:40.000 It's one thing to look at it as a career path, like, oh, I know, if I say the right things as a black conservative, I can get some speaking engagements.

01:00:47.000 You guys actually lost some fans in the process.

01:00:49.000 Yeah, like, that's one of the biggest comments we get from black people. 1.00

01:00:52.000 Y'all just doing it for the money.

01:00:54.000 I didn't need money to do this.

01:00:55.000 I mean, I just did this because that's how I feel.

01:00:57.000 I want to share ideologies with people.

01:01:00.000 But a lot of people, well, black people, they think we're doing it for money.

01:01:03.000 Yeah, I was already selling out shows.

01:01:04.000 We sell out shows across the world.

01:01:07.000 I'm genuinely doing this because I believe in it.

01:01:09.000 I didn't need the followers.

01:01:09.000 I didn't need the fans.

01:01:11.000 I was just trying to help a lot of stupid black people. 1.00

01:01:13.000 Man, I'm not that smart. 1.00

01:01:14.000 What you wanted to help the black community, and this is an interesting way to do it,

01:01:18.000 did it ever occur to you that maybe perhaps just fake a hate crime? 0.90

01:01:22.000 Man, I'm not that smart. I should have.

01:01:27.000 Because it seems like that's a quick path to victory now.

01:01:30.000 I mean, you know, bleach and... I wouldn't even want to say rope.

01:01:34.000 It's like a bungee cord that would be used for a dog crate, a dog kennel that he had.

01:01:39.000 Did you see that video when Jesse Smollett finally had the rope?

01:01:41.000 It was like, that's not even a real rope! 0.94

01:01:43.000 The whole thing was ridiculous. 0.97

01:01:45.000 Looked like shoestrings. 0.99

01:01:47.000 And there was a black guy, I think, what was it, Georgia?

01:01:52.000 I guess he had an ice cream shop and a pizza place, right?

01:01:55.000 Business wasn't doing so good.

01:01:57.000 So he breaks into his own business and vandalizes the place, right?

01:02:01.000 On the wall, he paints monkey.

01:02:03.000 A swastika. 0.65

01:02:04.000 A swastika. 0.65

01:02:05.000 And of course, he had to go with the N-word, right? 0.59

01:02:08.000 But to seal the deal, to put the cherry on top, he painted on the wall Make America great again. 0.99

01:02:16.000 This country is so great right now, you got black people committing fake hate crimes. 1.00

01:02:21.000 Hate crimes on themselves. 1.00

01:02:22.000 Yeah, it does.

01:02:24.000 Do you usually see these crimes in the news and think, probably fake?

01:02:27.000 Have you reached that point now where you tend to lean toward, it's fake until proven otherwise?

01:02:32.000 Soon as I see that they put MAG on the walls, I know it's fake, because Make America Great Again does not stand—that slogan's not for—to bring back slavery.

01:02:41.000 That's what the TV's told black people.

01:02:43.000 So when I see a black person victim of a hate crime, I know they did it. 1.00

01:02:47.000 Yeah.

01:02:47.000 Like that one incident with Mike Brown.

01:02:49.000 He said, hands up, don't shoot.

01:02:51.000 I was like, what innocent man walks down the street and cop pulls over and says, hands up, don't shoot?

01:02:56.000 I would say if I just robbed somebody.

01:03:00.000 I'll be like, uh, excuse me officer, what seems to be the problem today? 0.88

01:03:06.000 But you would just do that to distract him while you reached for his gun and clubbed him with it.

01:03:11.000 I would imagine.

01:03:12.000 Let me ask you this, though.

01:03:14.000 Have you ever encountered, and it doesn't mean that this doesn't happen, but encountered to the degree that it's fake, those kinds of racist actions or hate crimes?

01:03:23.000 Like, have you ever actually encountered someone who has painted, I don't know, a Nazi swastika in your bathroom or written MAGA on your Chevrolet Cavalier?

01:03:34.000 Never!

01:03:35.000 Never.

01:03:36.000 I've never seen a swastika unless it was on a computer.

01:03:40.000 A teabag never went anywhere in public since I was born.

01:03:42.000 Seen a swastika, Nazi.

01:03:44.000 I've seen the n-word in bathrooms.

01:03:46.000 Yeah, but it's not just a public bathroom.

01:03:49.000 I've seen, um, the last time I was called the n-word by a white woman is when I was driving in California.

01:03:55.000 I didn't see her cut off. 0.99

01:03:56.000 I damn near killed her, right? 0.99

01:03:57.000 You kind of deserved it. 1.00

01:04:00.000 So she pulled up, you, yeeeaaah! And I was like, you tell him, baby! Once you watch where you go, you dumb! Nyeh! 1.00

01:04:09.000 So I kind of had that one coming. But that was like 12 years ago. Yeah. Yeah. So did you, I guess your strategy

01:04:20.000 with this, uh, this hit here on the show is you were going to bring us down with you and ensure that our channel gets

01:04:25.000 removed as well.

01:04:26.000 Oh, there's the strike.

01:04:29.000 I need somebody to go with me.

01:04:31.000 Yes. Well then I can't champion your cause once you're gone.

01:04:35.000 You still need me here.

01:04:36.000 You want me on this line. 0.80

01:04:37.000 Then kick us both out.

01:04:38.000 Now how did Turning Point USA...

01:04:39.000 Leave! 0.99

01:04:40.000 Go ahead, sorry.

01:04:41.000 What was that?

01:04:42.000 Well, I'm just wildly entertained, so honestly, the questions are a formality at this point.

01:04:45.000 So if you just, you can just take the ball and run with it.

01:04:47.000 But how did Turning Point USA come around?

01:04:49.000 Because that's really sort of more of a traditional Republican organization.

01:04:53.000 Like, that's not what you guys do.

01:04:54.000 You guys do stand-up.

01:04:55.000 You guys did videos and fitness stuff.

01:04:57.000 So when I saw that, it was like I was in the Twilight Zone.

01:04:59.000 I'm going, well, hold on a second.

01:05:01.000 Do the people at TPUSA, have they ever seen the Hot Twins live?

01:05:05.000 Yeah, your dad seen me.

01:05:06.000 I seen your dad in the crowd when we came to Texas.

01:05:09.000 Your dad was just like...

01:05:12.000 That was a great show.

01:05:14.000 We definitely had to clean up our act before we did this.

01:05:20.000 We didn't curse or anything.

01:05:22.000 We gave a speech, made it funny.

01:05:24.000 I definitely do what I do on stage.

01:05:27.000 We didn't do what we did on stage.

01:05:29.000 We changed it up a lot.

01:05:30.000 Yeah, we're actually professional.

01:05:32.000 We're behaving like white men. 0.90

01:05:34.000 Actually, we first ran into Charlie Kirk at the airport.

01:05:37.000 Yeah.

01:05:37.000 Really?

01:05:38.000 Yeah, we met him in the airport.

01:05:39.000 We put up a picture on Instagram.

01:05:41.000 He always said he wanted to get us to talk.

01:05:43.000 I was like, no, you don't.

01:05:47.000 We've been going back and forth with Candace Owens on Instagram.

01:05:51.000 They invited, they reached out to my agent.

01:05:54.000 I said, hey, let's give it a try.

01:05:56.000 It's either going to be very, very good or very, very bad.

01:06:00.000 That could be a road to Kanye then.

01:06:02.000 Maybe you could have, you guys are starting a new podcast, right?

01:06:04.000 Maybe Kanye could be your first guest.

01:06:07.000 Oh, that'd be cool.

01:06:08.000 Yeah, I guess it would be cool.

01:06:09.000 Very interesting.

01:06:11.000 You don't have to be that white. 0.89

01:06:12.000 Still keep a little bit of you. 0.72

01:06:16.000 Be Abercrombie Black. 0.97

01:06:18.000 Be black enough that we get where you're coming from, but you don't intimidate white people. 1.00

01:06:23.000 Abercrombie Black is being gay. 0.99

01:06:29.000 No, being Abercrombie Black in the black community is Uncle Tom Black. 0.99

01:06:34.000 We call it Uncle Tom's Cabin.

01:06:36.000 All right, well listen, we're going to go to a WebExtended.

01:06:38.000 I could listen to you guys all day, but it is HodgeTwins, at HodgeTwins on Twitter, HodgeTwinsTour.com.

01:06:43.000 Before we go to the WebExtended, for people who are not in Mug Club, where are your next dates for people to look for?

01:06:49.000 HodgeTwinsTour.com, and we got a YouTube channel.

01:06:52.000 Hopefully it's not been deleted yet.

01:06:54.000 Conservative Twins.

01:06:55.000 Right, okay.

01:06:56.000 Are there any cities coming up very soon?

01:06:58.000 We're in Texas in November.

01:07:00.000 We're going to San Antonio, Arlington, Dallas. 0.96

01:07:05.000 We're trying to go back to Austin, but that's a liberal shithole.

01:07:08.000 That's the Portland of Texas.

01:07:11.000 Yeah, pretty much.

01:07:12.000 Houston?

01:07:14.000 Yeah. 0.92

01:07:14.000 I don't think you can call that place a liberal shithole on the show, man. 0.92

01:07:17.000 Have some respect.

01:07:18.000 Oh yeah, because that's the biggest gripe we have with this interview.

01:07:22.000 I'm sure Wojcicki at this point.

01:07:23.000 That's the bridge too far.

01:07:24.000 She has her finger on the ban-cancel button.

01:07:27.000 She's like, uh, no.

01:07:28.000 Inward, no. 0.88

01:07:30.000 Mushroom tip and butthole, no. 0.92

01:07:32.000 Austin!

01:07:34.000 What happened to free speech, man?

01:07:35.000 You used to say whatever you want, now you can't say anything.

01:07:38.000 And we're not saying whatever we want.

01:07:40.000 I mean, if I say whatever I want, I can understand, but I'm just talking.

01:07:44.000 Yeah, I'm just making jokes.

01:07:46.000 We can't even make jokes anymore. 0.99

01:07:47.000 These people are crazy. 0.62

01:07:49.000 Yeah, well, it seems to me that that's the reaction from a lot of folks. 0.99

01:07:51.000 We were just talking about, like, Quarter Black Garrett was recognized in New York by a black guy and was a big fan.

01:07:56.000 He just said, Quarter Black!

01:07:58.000 I'm all black! 0.94

01:07:59.000 And we were like, oh okay, here you go. 0.67

01:08:01.000 And then he took his wallet, which we thought was distasteful.

01:08:04.000 Nothing like perpetuating the original stereotype.

01:08:05.000 Alright, at Hodgetwins, HodgetwinsTour.com.

01:08:08.000 We're gonna go to the web extended, but for those on YouTube, we're gonna wrap it up!

01:08:11.000 Biddy-bid! 0.96

01:08:12.000 Thanks again to everyone who supported us and joined up at Mug Club.

01:08:21.000 Please do, if you want the show to continue, ladderwithcredit.com slash Mug Club.

01:08:24.000 And outside of Mug Club, which keeps the lights on, our longest-running sponsor, our main sponsor, I'm really excited to talk about here today, Walther.

01:08:32.000 You know, I've talked about this before.

01:08:33.000 There are all kinds of great firearms out there. 0.91

01:08:35.000 They have the balls to sponsor the show.

01:08:36.000 We just ask that you try the Walther if you're in the market for a firearm. 0.94

01:08:39.000 But they're actually doing right now what they're calling a Fall Comfort Carry Giveaway.

01:08:44.000 I don't necessarily know what that means or where the title came from, but one lucky winner is going to receive one Walther PPS M2 pistol.

01:11:45.000 Can't give it to them for free.

01:11:46.000 But I think people could see it on the soles, so we'll blur that out.

01:11:50.000 But I do like these boots.

01:11:51.000 They're fun boots.

01:11:52.000 They're fun boots because they have a zip.

01:11:53.000 They're not super cowboy-ish.

01:11:55.000 They don't have the Cuban heel. 0.97

01:11:56.000 That's what they call it.

01:11:57.000 I don't know why they call it a Cuban heel.

01:11:59.000 I don't know.

01:12:21.000 Patrick's Day McStravaganza, so at least twice a year.

01:12:24.000 So you can put your school in the running.

01:12:26.000 Okay.

01:12:26.000 Close this up, because I'm getting very near the end of this now.

01:12:29.000 You know, I hear this all the time, okay?

01:12:32.000 And I just heard it the other day.

01:12:35.000 And it kind of bothered me.

01:12:37.000 It was a girl telling her friend, you deserve to be happy.

01:12:42.000 And it was used as a springboard to this idea now that everyone deserves to be happy.

01:12:49.000 We hear that a lot.

01:12:50.000 Everyone deserves to be, you deserve to be happy.

01:12:52.000 Here's the thing.

01:12:53.000 Individually, many people, many of you deserve to be happy.

01:12:58.000 As a universal rule, absolutely not.

01:13:02.000 I think not.

01:13:03.000 Not everyone deserves to be happy.

01:13:07.000 Now, you probably believe it.

01:13:08.000 You probably believe that you deserve to be happy.

01:13:10.000 Here's the thing.

01:13:11.000 No, you don't.

01:13:12.000 You do not deserve to be happy.

01:13:14.000 And let me tell you what I'm talking about.

01:13:16.000 I think it's incredibly corrosive and damaging if people actually believe this.

01:13:19.000 Not just on a societal scale, but on a personal one.

01:13:23.000 By definition, deserve is a transitive verb.

01:13:25.000 Outlining something of which you are worthy or for which you have merit.

01:13:30.000 Not everyone, by that definition, deserves to be happy.

01:13:33.000 As a matter of fact, this is uncomfortable.

01:13:35.000 Some people, some of you, Many of you, actually, deserve to be distinctly unhappy.

01:13:42.000 People who do bad things.

01:13:43.000 People who make bad decisions.

01:13:44.000 People who hurt other people.

01:13:46.000 Do they deserve to be happy?

01:13:48.000 And I think it's important to highlight this, not only because it's narcissistic, not only because it's just wrong, but because this one simple, this myth, this lie that we tell ourselves that people think of as sort of a benign greeting card slogan, if believed, can ruin you.

01:14:06.000 Doom you for all time.

01:14:09.000 I've talked about the idea that you're perfect the way you are.

01:14:11.000 That's a lie.

01:14:12.000 But Pink wrote a song about it, so everyone seems to believe it now.

01:14:15.000 If you're starting off point in life, it's predicated on this notion that you deserve to be happy simply through the qualification of having a pulse.

01:14:24.000 Not only is it going to lead you astray through how it dictates your actions, it'll also remove the lens of self-criticism that's required to improve as a person.

01:14:34.000 It will ultimately rob you of the tools that you need to achieve true happiness.

01:14:39.000 Here's the truth.

01:14:40.000 Happiness is earned.

01:14:42.000 Happiness, it's a yield.

01:14:45.000 Think of it as an investment, okay?

01:14:46.000 If you invest well, if you're disciplined, if you treat people well, if you take the right actions, you gain interest.

01:14:53.000 You get more back.

01:14:55.000 By the way, as a side note here, Dennis Prager has talked about this.

01:14:57.000 I do believe, I'll talk about this another day, that it's your moral obligation to attempt to be happy.

01:15:02.000 I don't mean to be selfish at the cost of others, but to live a life with a grateful heart and a joyous countenance.

01:15:06.000 Why?

01:15:07.000 Because, again, Dennis Prager said this.

01:15:09.000 This is not original.

01:15:09.000 I want to be really clear.

01:15:10.000 All credit to him.

01:15:11.000 He's talked about it for a long time.

01:15:12.000 If you could do one thing that would guarantee you, people around you, your friends, your family, that they would be happier right now, would you do it?

01:15:20.000 Well, you can.

01:15:21.000 It's by being happy.

01:15:22.000 It's by smiling more.

01:15:23.000 So it is a worthy goal.

01:15:24.000 I want to be clear about that.

01:15:25.000 Going back to happiness, thinking of it as a yield, though.

01:15:28.000 A return on investment.

01:15:29.000 Let's say you don't invest.

01:15:31.000 And by that I mean you don't invest in improving yourself, living a virtuous life.

01:15:35.000 Above all else, you don't invest in serving others.

01:15:39.000 Why would you ever think that you're worthy of reaping the benefits?

01:15:42.000 Let's go a step further.

01:15:43.000 What should you reap?

01:15:47.000 If you don't invest in those ideas, those actions, that lifestyle, what do you think you deserve?

01:15:53.000 And I say this in part Again, because I was inspired by this conversation between two women.

01:15:58.000 One was going through a divorce and her friend told her, she said, sweetie, you just, you, sweetie, you deserve to be happy.

01:16:05.000 Now, as far as I could tell, okay, this wasn't a divorce due to domestic abuse, infidelity.

01:16:11.000 It was more so along the lines of it just wasn't working.

01:16:13.000 I don't have all the ins and outs.

01:16:15.000 So let me just be clear here, but we probably know people like this.

01:16:18.000 The decision, though, was that it wasn't working, and so this woman would make a life-altering decision predicated on the idea that she wasn't happy and she deserved it. 1.00

01:16:27.000 Do you see the irony there?

01:16:31.000 And I'm not just talking about the fact that, as a general rule, divorce does not lend itself toward long-term happiness.

01:16:37.000 Statistically, quite the opposite.

01:16:38.000 But I'm not even—let's put that on the shelf.

01:16:40.000 This woman was justifying a decision that would knowingly harm another human being, her husband, potentially irreparably, Through the notion that she deserved happiness.

01:16:51.000 Why?

01:16:52.000 What parts of that action merits happiness?

01:16:56.000 I'm going to hurt someone else because I deserve to be happy?

01:16:59.000 And then I had to wonder how many decisions were made based on this false, evil idea that everyone deserves happiness that ultimately led to this situation in the first place.

01:17:08.000 Just using this as an example here.

01:17:10.000 By the way, it could have been a two-way street in this relationship.

01:17:12.000 Maybe he didn't want to sit down and listen to her talk about her problems.

01:17:15.000 Why?

01:17:15.000 Because it made him happier to play video games.

01:17:18.000 And guess what?

01:17:19.000 He deserves what he gets, if that's the decision he makes.

01:17:21.000 Maybe she didn't support his dreams because it would cut into the time of her hobbies, which would make her happy.

01:17:28.000 And she thinks she deserves that.

01:17:29.000 Maybe they never went to marital counseling because they'd rather hang out with friends, which, in the moment, made them happier, and by God, they deserve that happiness.

01:17:37.000 You don't deserve happiness.

01:17:39.000 It's not a birthright.

01:17:40.000 And this goes back to the fundamental difference between the right and the left, okay?

01:17:44.000 Today's progressive left, they believe in enforcement of equal outcomes because everyone deserves to be happy.

01:17:50.000 Conservatives, constitutionalists, like whatever you want to call us, like myself, we believe in freedom because everyone has a birthright to enjoy the opportunity of pursuing happiness that they deserve.

01:18:01.000 But again, deserve by definition means earned, and here's my challenge to you this week, okay?

01:18:06.000 If you're watching, you're listening, and you find yourself unhappy, if you're happy, move on down the trail, okay?

01:18:11.000 Good for you.

01:18:13.000 If you're unhappy, have you asked yourself why?

01:18:15.000 Now, barring mental illness, okay, so don't try and hang me on that here, I understand these are extenuating circumstances, barring that.

01:18:21.000 If you're not happy, ask yourself why.

01:18:24.000 Take a minute, And then I want you to answer two questions for me right now.

01:18:28.000 Okay?

01:18:29.000 One, why are you unhappy?

01:18:32.000 What is it that's going on in your life?

01:18:35.000 What results are you seeing that are making you unhappy?

01:18:38.000 Question number two, this is a tough one.

01:18:40.000 If you're unhappy, do you deserve it?

01:18:46.000 Okay?

01:18:47.000 I want you to retrace the steps that led you to this point, the decisions you've made.

01:18:51.000 Do you really feel that you deserve happiness?

01:18:54.000 Or maybe, just maybe, are you getting right now what you actually deserve?

01:18:58.000 And I don't offer this up as judgment, okay?

01:19:01.000 Because here's the good news.

01:19:02.000 Just like getting yourself out of debt or recovering from an injury, you can earn happiness.

01:19:06.000 It's never too late.

01:19:08.000 You are never beyond redemption.

01:19:10.000 No matter where you are in your life, you can turn it around and start taking steps to being truly happy right now, today.

01:19:17.000 Now when I say to be truly happy, because happiness is earned, I mean that.

01:19:23.000 I mean earned happiness.

01:19:25.000 Honest happiness.

01:19:26.000 Otherwise, it's just hollow and fleeting and you're lying to yourself.

01:19:30.000 You may not deserve to be happy today, but you can be starting tomorrow.

01:19:39.000 Hopefully that helps.

01:19:40.000 Look at it that way.
