Louder with Crowder - #60 Ben Shapiro, Milo and Iowa Coin Toss Czar | Louder With Crowder

00:00:00.000 You've found yourself at the junction where worlds meet.

00:00:05.000 Politics.

00:00:06.000 Civility.

00:00:07.000 How about honesty in this country, folks?

00:00:09.000 Entertainment.

00:00:10.000 I don't like entertainment.

00:00:12.000 And a whole bunch of other stuff.

00:00:14.000 It's about having a healthy body image.

00:00:17.000 You have a very unhealthy body.

00:00:18.000 You should have a horrible body image. 0.94

00:00:19.000 Not a big moment for the market.

00:00:22.000 We are definitely going to get letters.

00:00:24.000 You're listening to Talk Radio's Strangest Animal. 0.97

00:00:28.000 You're a strange animal.

00:00:32.000 You're getting louder with Crowder. 0.99

00:00:35.000 But you're a strange animal. 0.88

00:00:37.000 I've got to follow. 0.91

00:00:39.000 Oh, I'm in the spiritus.

00:00:43.000 And that sound.

00:00:45.000 It sounds like God is talking to me with my echo in my headphones.

00:00:49.000 Louder with Crowder, we're coming to you.

00:00:51.000 That sound means it's the weekend.

00:00:52.000 Producing with me in the video studio, as always, is Jared, who is not gay. 0.96

00:00:58.000 You can follow him at Not Gay Jared.

00:01:01.000 I have fulfilled all my legal obligations.

00:01:04.000 And you can draw your own conclusions.

00:01:06.000 We good?

00:01:06.000 I appreciate that.

00:01:07.000 We are good?

00:01:08.000 I appreciate that.

00:01:08.000 We're good.

00:01:08.000 What is that echo that I was hearing?

00:01:11.000 I'm a borderline retarded. 0.98

00:01:13.000 That's hate speech. 1.00

00:01:14.000 That's hate speech.

00:01:15.000 That's okay because it's self-degrading hate speech.

00:01:19.000 Yeah, I had the wrong fader up.

00:01:20.000 Are we good now?

00:01:21.000 Oh, we're good.

00:01:22.000 We have it working?

00:01:23.000 Oh, we're good.

00:01:24.000 Well, listen, this is a big day for Lotta with Crowder.

00:01:26.000 To people listening terrestrially, of course, this is the first video live stream.

00:01:31.000 So people can either be watching this right now on LottaWithCrowder.com or the YouTube's, hello, full-on video live stream.

00:01:37.000 Not Gay Jared has been working on this all day.

00:01:39.000 So to those listening at our wonderful home station in Wham, our affiliates, WEZS New Hampshire, WJHC in Florida, Cone, Alaska, Patriot Northern Michigan, Traverse City, all the others out there, thank you! 0.99

00:01:56.000 Ken, thanks to the beauty of the event. 0.99

00:01:58.000 Has the audience seen you yet?

00:02:00.000 Show them.

00:02:01.000 They have not seen my little mug. 0.95

00:02:02.000 Tell me that guy is not gay. 1.00

00:02:05.000 Tell me you buy that. 0.94

00:02:07.000 Not gay. 1.00

00:02:07.000 But of course, legally. 1.00

00:02:11.000 Okay.

00:02:12.000 Big week, obviously.

00:02:13.000 Well, big show.

00:02:13.000 Iowa.

00:02:14.000 We're going to have Ben Shapiro on.

00:02:16.000 Milo Yiannopoulos.

00:02:17.000 Courtney Kirchhoff will join us after that.

00:02:19.000 We also have the Iowa caucus official coin toss czar on later this evening.

00:02:24.000 They have czars for so many things.

00:02:25.000 They have czars for everything.

00:02:26.000 Which is crazy.

00:02:27.000 Yeah, all things.

00:02:28.000 I didn't know.

00:02:29.000 All things have czars.

00:02:29.000 I didn't know.

00:02:30.000 So big thing, obviously, Iowa.

00:02:32.000 Iowa was won by Ted Cruz.

00:02:36.000 Not only Ted Cruz, but Rubio had a surprising showing.

00:02:40.000 Rubio by a spanking. 0.99

00:02:41.000 Cruz by a spanking. 0.99

00:02:42.000 By a spanking. 0.99

00:02:43.000 By a spanking. 0.99

00:02:44.000 Drink your caffeine because your brain's not working yet. 0.96

00:02:47.000 You have the wrong fader.

00:02:51.000 Here's the deal.

00:02:52.000 Of course it's been marred by controversy now with Ted Cruz.

00:02:55.000 And we'll be talking about that with Ben Shapiro later.

00:02:57.000 He's a Jew, Cheryl! 0.99

00:02:59.000 And then we'll be talking about that with Milo Yiannopoulos, who's a gay. 0.99

00:03:04.000 You said it so nonchalantly. 0.91

00:03:07.000 Yeah, well. 0.96

00:03:08.000 He's one of the gays. 1.00

00:03:09.000 Yeah. 0.99

00:03:09.000 This is gay stuff. 0.99

00:03:10.000 Pardon my French, but you're an a**hole. 1.00

00:03:14.000 It's true. 1.00

00:03:14.000 Yep. 1.00

00:03:15.000 Well, I'm talking about you.

00:03:16.000 Oh. 1.00

00:03:17.000 A**hole. 0.96

00:03:18.000 So. 0.98

00:03:19.000 Taken.

00:03:20.000 Trump lost.

00:03:21.000 Now, of course, everyone was talking about how he was winning the polls before that.

00:03:25.000 And this is a big deal.

00:03:26.000 Listen, wherever you line up, whether it's Trump, whether it's Ted Cruz, this is pretty important.

00:03:32.000 Because now you've fallen to one of two camps.

00:03:34.000 You buy everything that Trump's been selling wholesale, that there was a controversy that the Cruz campaign went out and told everyone Carson was dropping out of the campaign, and the only reason that Ted Cruz won was because of voter fraud.

00:03:47.000 So you believe that, and we'll get to that, and maybe you do believe that, and that's fine.

00:03:51.000 Or you believe something else.

00:03:55.000 Which is what I believe.

00:03:56.000 And let me tell you why I believe this.

00:03:57.000 Now, it does seem that there were some volunteers from Cruz's campaign that came out and told people, hey, it looks like Carson is suspending his campaign.

00:04:08.000 Because it came from CNN, which came from Carson himself talking about going to Florida.

00:04:13.000 That comes from volunteers.

00:04:14.000 Now, I've been to enough of these political rallies and these CPACs and these kinds of events that they're incredibly disorganized.

00:04:22.000 And all it takes is one person in a chain of command to say something in the quizlings.

00:04:26.000 Okay, they follow along, they do it!

00:04:29.000 So, I'm not willing to believe...

00:04:31.000 Copy your VP! Copy your VP! Yes, you can, intern number five from Lynchburg, Virginia.

00:04:39.000 So I'm not inclined to believe it goes.

00:04:40.000 We don't have any evidence that that went to the top.

00:04:42.000 Listen, if Ted Cruz personally said, hey, I want you to lie and tell everyone that Ben Carson dropped out, and the only way I will win this is through ill-gotten gain, screw Carson, we need to take out Trump.

00:04:54.000 If that happened, I don't want Cruz to win.

00:04:58.000 And he's a bad person, if that happened.

00:05:01.000 We have no evidence that that happened, okay?

00:05:03.000 And something else, too, Carson actually did better than we thought in the polls.

00:05:08.000 Up to 2% better than the polls beforehand.

00:05:11.000 Rubio did.

00:05:11.000 As a matter of fact, everybody did better.

00:05:15.000 Aside from Donald Trump.

00:05:16.000 So, and I know people watching this on YouTube right now are going, Stephen doesn't like Trump?

00:05:22.000 What is this?

00:05:23.000 What is this?

00:05:25.000 No, listen, I've never been a big fan of Donald Trump.

00:05:27.000 There are a lot of people I can vote for in clear conscience, and Trump's been invited on the show.

00:05:31.000 Here's what I think happened.

00:05:33.000 And you can correct me if you think I'm wrong here, not Gay Jared. 1.00

00:05:36.000 I think a lot of people, and we were just talking with Gavin McGinnis about this, I think a lot of people, there are a lot of great things about Trump that I supported about Trump.

00:05:44.000 No political correctness, shining a light on the political establishment, George Bush fighting back.

00:05:49.000 I get that.

00:05:50.000 I appreciate all that.

00:05:51.000 I think a lot of people appreciated that.

00:05:53.000 And I think a lot of people also realize he's not fit to be commander-in-chief.

00:05:57.000 And so if you look, it's not just Cruz.

00:05:59.000 It's not just Rubio.

00:06:00.000 It's not just – it's everybody.

00:06:02.000 If you look, it would seem that there's a certain percentage of Trump hat-wearing, bumper sticker, make America great again campaign fanatics who went in and when it came time to pull the lever said – Jokes over Cruz.

00:06:24.000 Jokes over Rubio.

00:06:24.000 Or...

00:06:27.000 I think that is much more likely than every conspiracy.

00:06:31.000 Here's my thing with Donald Trump and Dickerson.

00:06:33.000 You can tweet me at S. Crowder. 0.96

00:06:34.000 We don't have the live chat going on YouTube because you're all animals.

00:06:38.000 But you can tweet me at S. Crowder. 0.99

00:06:40.000 Or you can tweet it, not gay, Jared. 0.92

00:06:41.000 Has Donald Trump ever attacked Ted Cruz on his ideas yet? 0.98

00:06:47.000 I mean, I know he's he's Canadian, so he's unfit. 1.00

00:06:49.000 Goldman Sachs.

00:06:51.000 All these results should be nullified.

00:06:53.000 No, Ted Cruz did not wait.

00:06:55.000 Donald Trump actually was.

00:06:57.000 But we have that.

00:06:59.000 Has there ever been any debate where he's really gone after Cruz aggressively over his ideas?

00:07:04.000 Tweet me at S. Crowder.

00:07:05.000 As Ben Carson says, I want to know.

00:07:07.000 I want to know.

00:07:09.000 Don't you just love it when Ben Carson gets get out?

00:07:12.000 I love it so much.

00:07:13.000 Have anyone seen his college transcripts?

00:07:16.000 Why are you asking that?

00:07:17.000 I want to know!

00:07:19.000 I want to know!

00:07:21.000 Do you see I want to know?

00:07:23.000 He's like that reporter who goes ghetto in five seconds.

00:07:26.000 Oh, that's the funniest thing ever.

00:07:28.000 That's Ben Carson, Dr.

00:07:29.000 Ben Carson.

00:07:30.000 Well, listen, Dr.

00:07:31.000 Ben Carson's from Detroit to a single mom and tried to stab somebody.

00:07:35.000 When they say he's not black enough about the Colin Powells, about the Condoleezza Rices, they even try to pull it with Herman Cain.

00:07:41.000 It's like, listen, Dr.

00:07:44.000 Ben Carson's from Detroit to a single mom and tried to stab somebody, okay? 0.98

00:07:50.000 He's all-star black. 0.95

00:07:51.000 He's not playing in the feeder system.

00:07:55.000 But has Donald Trump attacked Ted Cruz on ideas yet?

00:08:01.000 I can't think of anything.

00:08:01.000 Gosh.

00:08:03.000 I can't think of anything.

00:08:04.000 And if it is, it's certainly maybe 10%.

00:08:05.000 And this is one thing, like I've said, you know, at least with the Bernie Sanders, I respect him.

00:08:10.000 And I respect Ben Carson with this immensely.

00:08:12.000 I don't want him to win.

00:08:12.000 He's not my guy.

00:08:15.000 They really haven't gotten into the personal attacks.

00:08:19.000 And honestly, Ted Cruz didn't.

00:08:21.000 He'll be back on the show, Senator Ted Cruz.

00:08:22.000 Remember when he first came on and I asked him about Trump?

00:08:24.000 He said, I'm not going to get into that.

00:08:25.000 At that point, he had not done anything.

00:08:28.000 His biggest mistake was beating Trump in the polls.

00:08:30.000 He had not done anything.

00:08:31.000 And at that point in time, his chances of any kind of winning was really pretty much a long shot.

00:08:36.000 He's come a long way since then.

00:08:37.000 He's come a long way since then.

00:08:39.000 But we talked about he had a strong ground game in Iowa.

00:08:41.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:08:42.000 So that's what's most concerning to me.

00:08:44.000 And listen, regardless of where you line up on politics, right, we always hear people say, oh, I'm tired of same old, same old.

00:08:49.000 We're going to talk about same old, same old politics.

00:08:51.000 It's the personal attacks and running someone to the mud and not talking about ideas and not making progress.

00:08:56.000 So why is that OK when one person does it and another person doesn't do it? 0.97

00:09:01.000 Listen, Bernie Sanders, I think he's insane.

00:09:04.000 I think he's out of his mind with free everything with the health care at the college. 0.85

00:09:07.000 But he has not run a dirty campaign.

00:09:11.000 He's been very, very...

00:09:12.000 And when you think about the Clintons, that is an easy opponent.

00:09:17.000 So much material.

00:09:19.000 My opponent's plans are unrealistic.

00:09:22.000 And then Bernie Sanders, this broad kill the guy.

00:09:25.000 That's it? 0.93

00:09:26.000 That's it!

00:09:27.000 Mic drop.

00:09:28.000 Just walk off.

00:09:30.000 So I do respect that about Bernie Sanders.

00:09:31.000 I do respect that about Ben Carson.

00:09:34.000 Well, I want you to tweet me.

00:09:35.000 Let me know what you think happened.

00:09:36.000 We'll get a poll up here on Twitter.

00:09:38.000 You think that all of this is ill-gotten gain?

00:09:40.000 Here's one thing, the one thing about Donald Trump that I think everyone can agree on if you're being objective.

00:09:46.000 He's never met a victory that wasn't wholly legitimate, and he's never met a defeat that wasn't entirely foul play.

00:09:55.000 Before this, I never heard him say a single poll was rigged against him, that he was winning, right?

00:09:59.000 I'm winning every poll.

00:10:01.000 Listen, we're going to win so much, you're going to be sick of winning.

00:10:04.000 We're going to win so much, you're going to be sick of winning.

00:10:10.000 Okay?

00:10:10.000 And then, the second, the vote matters, and he loses.

00:10:16.000 This is rigged.

00:10:17.000 Nobody cares about the vote.

00:10:18.000 There's no reason for it.

00:10:20.000 Same thing.

00:10:20.000 If a poll changes, that poll's rigged.

00:10:22.000 That's all it is.

00:10:23.000 It's entirely personal.

00:10:25.000 And that's just something.

00:10:26.000 I don't know why people don't see it.

00:10:29.000 I don't know why people do not see that with the guy.

00:10:33.000 And the pandering.

00:10:34.000 You know, the two Corinthians.

00:10:36.000 This is what you like, right?

00:10:37.000 Liberty.

00:10:38.000 That's the whole thing.

00:10:39.000 That's the whole thing.

00:10:40.000 That's it.

00:10:40.000 That's the point.

00:10:41.000 He just struck him as a guy who decided to run for office.

00:10:46.000 And he's like, ugh.

00:10:48.000 I should probably pick up a handbook on the conservative stuff.

00:10:52.000 Yeah.

00:10:53.000 Second Amendment.

00:10:54.000 That's what you like, right?

00:10:56.000 You know, guns.

00:10:57.000 That's for you, huh?

00:10:58.000 That's what you're into?

00:10:59.000 Yeah.

00:11:01.000 Everything he talks about just seems that way.

00:11:03.000 It's just like 2 Corinthians about everything.

00:11:05.000 It's just 2 Corinthians is the most blatant and hilarious of all of them.

00:11:09.000 It is pretty funny.

00:11:10.000 Well, then he goes and talks about divorce.

00:11:11.000 And he goes, except none of you will get divorced.

00:11:13.000 Because none of you, because I know, because you're Christian, right? 1.00

00:11:15.000 That's what you like.

00:11:15.000 That's the whole thing.

00:11:17.000 All right, how long do we have to the end of this segment here?

00:11:20.000 About 30 seconds.

00:11:21.000 About 30 seconds?

00:11:22.000 I'm not hearing any music.

00:11:23.000 Does that mean you forgot to hit the finger?

00:11:24.000 It's coming?

00:11:24.000 No, it's coming.

00:11:25.000 It's going to be good.

00:11:26.000 All right, well, to people watching this, and we have commercials that run live if you're listening terrestrially.

00:11:30.000 We have commercials that run in the live video stream, and they are not FCC approved.

00:11:36.000 But I tell you what, we're going to stay here and fight it out in the cesspool that is YouTube.

00:11:40.000 We'll be back.

00:11:41.000 Everybody was kung fu fighting. 0.99

00:11:44.000 Those kids were fast as lightning. 0.99

00:11:49.000 In fact, it was a little bit frightening.

00:11:54.000 But they fought with expert timing.

00:12:03.000 Whoa, Jared, what are you doing? 0.99

00:12:05.000 Shoot bad guys. 0.99

00:12:06.000 AR-15. 1.00

00:12:06.000 With what? 1.00

00:12:07.000 Where'd you get it?

00:12:08.000 AR-15.com.

00:12:10.000 Oh, there's another one.

00:12:11.000 You got him.

00:12:11.000 Kaboom.

00:12:12.000 Thank God for AR-15.com.

00:12:12.000 Yeah.

00:12:14.000 They have AR-15 and accessories for sale and the best advice there is on the web.

00:12:19.000 Oh, no, there's another one.

00:12:20.000 Kaboom.

00:12:20.000 You got him.

00:12:22.000 Yeah.

00:12:22.000 With your what?

00:12:23.000 AR-15.

00:12:24.000 From where?

00:12:25.000 AR-15.com.

00:12:25.000 That's the best place to go, and that's the takeaway, because this commercial's about to stop!

00:12:29.000 And now time for Gentle Insults with Dr. Ben.

00:12:38.000 Ben Carson.

00:12:39.000 I would certainly acknowledge that Dr.

00:12:43.000 Rand Paul has been one of the most consistent figures in the party.

00:12:47.000 And I do have respect for his consistency on the issues.

00:12:51.000 And I don't think that anybody else should have anything but the most admiration for someone to be as consistent as him. 0.94

00:13:01.000 Hopefully they don't allow anything from that to be taken away by the fact that he does come across sometimes like a bitchy toilet bowl brush. 0.99

00:13:13.000 This has been Gentle Insults with Dr. 0.96

00:13:16.000 Mr. Benny Carson.

00:13:17.000 The End 1.00

00:13:47.000 people think I'm stupid for you. 1.00

00:13:48.000 Oh, my God. 1.00

00:13:50.000 Did that go out on radio?

00:13:53.000 Your duck lips?

00:13:54.000 Did your duck lips comment go out on radio?

00:13:55.000 We're back from the break. 0.98

00:13:56.000 Damn it, this is the problem with the live stream, and now we're going to lose affiliates. 0.96

00:14:02.000 Ladder with Crowder, we are back. 0.98

00:14:04.000 Ben Shapiro coming up after the break, which I'm pretty excited about.

00:14:08.000 People watching the live stream now, by the way, for those listening terrestrially, have seen Not Gay Jared for the first time.

00:14:14.000 The feedback, Sam Schur says, 100 times better than SNL commercial skits.

00:14:18.000 The high angle lens has a slimming effect.

00:14:20.000 Ben Carson impression is spot on.

00:14:22.000 People love the AR-15 ad.

00:14:23.000 They should know that my camera's white balance is not the best.

00:14:26.000 I'm actually a lot more tan than I appear.

00:14:27.000 Watch Jared and his feminism mannerisms confuse one's gaydar. 0.99

00:14:31.000 Conclusion drawn.

00:14:35.000 This is why we have the best fans.

00:14:36.000 It's fair.

00:14:37.000 It's fair.

00:14:38.000 Oh, by the way, I figured out the voice of God so I could do it on command.

00:14:42.000 Really?

00:14:43.000 Yeah.

00:14:43.000 Okay, hold on.

00:14:44.000 Give me a voice of God.

00:14:45.000 The voice of God. 1.00

00:14:46.000 Jared, your sexual lifestyle is immoral. 0.99

00:14:51.000 That's pretty awesome. 0.99

00:14:53.000 That was pretty good.

00:14:55.000 That's pretty good.

00:14:56.000 Okay, I want you to bring this up on screen.

00:14:58.000 Something that's really important here, we're talking about establishment a lot.

00:15:01.000 And I think it's important for us to define what that means, because that's a term.

00:15:06.000 Now, being anti-establishment doesn't inherently make you anti-conservative, doesn't inherently make you virtuous.

00:15:13.000 So when we're looking at candidates right here, do we have this up on the screen?

00:15:17.000 So really quickly, I have a list of candidates and percentage of their donations that are smaller donations, meaning donations that haven't just come from giant PACs or donors.

00:15:29.000 To his credit, Bernie Sanders, I don't think they count unions here, unfortunately, is up there.

00:15:33.000 Ben Carson, Mike Huckabee, Carly Fiorina, Ted Cruz.

00:15:37.000 Those are the top five, right, with Ted Cruz coming from small donations about 42% of the time.

00:15:46.000 That's important because when people now, the whole attack, right, in the Republican primary from Donald Trump is just establishment.

00:15:52.000 But Donald Trump, he's been endorsed by Bob Dole, Scott Brown, and now Jimmy Carter just came out this week.

00:15:57.000 And Jimmy Carter, I mean, God bless him, you know, he's got the...

00:16:00.000 Why are you laughing?

00:16:02.000 I don't know.

00:16:03.000 That guy.

00:16:04.000 Are you laughing about his...

00:16:06.000 You're laughing about his disease?

00:16:08.000 Is that why you're laughing?

00:16:09.000 No, cancer's never...

00:16:10.000 I mean, it's usually kind of funny. 0.99

00:16:11.000 Damn it, first thing he gets to. 0.99

00:16:13.000 It's the gift that keeps on giving the whole year. 1.00

00:16:20.000 Did we just make cancer jokes?

00:16:22.000 That's not allowed.

00:16:23.000 There's only a second segment.

00:16:24.000 This is bad.

00:16:25.000 This is a bad start.

00:16:26.000 Well, listen, we already had...

00:16:27.000 When my dad had cancer, we had people send in their best cancer jokes.

00:16:30.000 You know what my favorite cancer joke is?

00:16:32.000 Someone sent this to me.

00:16:32.000 My dad had cancer.

00:16:33.000 The surgery has been removed.

00:16:34.000 My favorite cancer joke is a guy goes into the doctor.

00:16:37.000 Doctor says, okay, got some bad news.

00:16:40.000 You've got cancer and you've got Alzheimer's.

00:16:43.000 And the patient says, could be worse.

00:16:45.000 At least I don't have cancer.

00:16:50.000 What I love about that joke is it's such an old-timey old man joke, drinking Schlitz at the bar, but it's also really dark and twisted.

00:17:01.000 It has the best of both worlds.

00:17:04.000 So Jimmy Carter came out, and the funny thing he said about Trump is the reason he would rather see Trump than Cruz is because Trump has no principles.

00:17:09.000 It's totally malleable.

00:17:12.000 So here is something that is.

00:17:14.000 Yeah, Chris Christie, Jeb Bush, John Kasich, Martin O'Malley, Hillary Clinton.

00:17:18.000 These are people, and Donald Trump, funnily enough, towards the bottom of that list, these are people who have giant, big blocks of cash, meaning coming in from people who are probably big businesses, big PACs.

00:17:29.000 Jeb Bush is a perfect example, right?

00:17:31.000 You and I have talked about this.

00:17:32.000 How is Jeb Bush still in this?

00:17:34.000 Nobody I know likes him.

00:17:35.000 Now, if you want to talk about establishment, Jeb Bush or Chris Christie, you could accurately lob that accusation.

00:17:42.000 Right?

00:17:43.000 That's absolutely true.

00:17:44.000 When it's just coming from some big money people really like them, but nobody else likes them.

00:17:44.000 Yes.

00:17:49.000 It's kind of like conservative content out there right now.

00:17:53.000 The reason we've done pretty well, and I'm incredibly grateful, is it's determined by the audience.

00:17:53.000 Right?

00:17:57.000 I once had a producer say, you know, radio actually is not about the audience.

00:18:02.000 You're just selling the audience.

00:18:02.000 It's about the sponsor.

00:18:04.000 And so that's what's happened.

00:18:05.000 That's why conservative radio has gotten so one note.

00:18:08.000 A lot of wealthy people in the Republican Party are dying off.

00:18:10.000 They're out of touch and they don't know what people want.

00:18:12.000 So they support people like Jeb Bush, Chris Christie.

00:18:14.000 I have this on the screen.

00:18:16.000 Nobody in the Republican Party likes Ted Cruz.

00:18:19.000 He's the most reviled, hated member of the Republican Party because he called Mitch McConnell a liar.

00:18:25.000 Here's the deal.

00:18:26.000 You may not like him, okay?

00:18:29.000 You may think he's arrogant, and I think that's a valid criticism with Ted Cruz.

00:18:32.000 People could feel that way because he called people liars.

00:18:35.000 He basically was willing to shut down the government when Republicans said this is a bad idea.

00:18:38.000 He said, nope, don't care, I'm going to do it. 1.00

00:18:40.000 I like that because I'm an arrogant ass. 0.99

00:18:43.000 I have no problem with people saying, hey, hey, you should play ball. 0.99

00:18:47.000 And I take my ball and go home.

00:18:49.000 I understand that people don't like that about Ted Cruz.

00:18:52.000 But what you can't do is say, nobody in the republic, nobody likes him.

00:18:56.000 And then say, and he's establishment, okay?

00:18:59.000 I am fighting him because he's a career politician.

00:19:01.000 Someone like a Ted Cruz has done everything he claimed he would do when he went in.

00:19:04.000 He was elected, went, did what he claimed.

00:19:05.000 Now, you may not like it.

00:19:06.000 That's fine.

00:19:07.000 But when we say establishment, this is important because it's something that's used for mindless people right now.

00:19:12.000 Very unintelligent people throw it around just as a term.

00:19:15.000 And you know this, Jared.

00:19:17.000 We work with lottowithcrowder.com.

00:19:18.000 We do stories every day, and we get ripped off.

00:19:20.000 We constantly have to compete with clickbait.

00:19:22.000 Anytime you put in BAM! BOM! That's going to hurt the establishment, you're guaranteed a ton of clicks.

00:19:30.000 Yes.

00:19:31.000 I think that's why it's so easy for them to just take the Donald Trump stuff and just conflate it with all the establishments against Trump.

00:19:38.000 It's like double time for clicks.

00:19:41.000 But it's important.

00:19:41.000 So we'll have it up on the screen.

00:19:43.000 We'll have it up at lottowithcrowder.com.

00:19:46.000 This gives you an idea as to who is really establishment, who's getting big money donors.

00:19:49.000 I'm surprised to see Carly Fiorina is high up there because everyone was told that she was getting all the people who jumped from Jeb. 0.99

00:19:55.000 But this week...

00:19:57.000 Rand Paul.

00:19:58.000 I like Rand Paul.

00:19:58.000 He had like a toilet hairbrush, but I like him.

00:20:02.000 Who else was out?

00:20:03.000 Rand Paul.

00:20:04.000 Ben Carson just suspended his campaign.

00:20:07.000 And who else?

00:20:08.000 Who else?

00:20:08.000 Huckabee, Rand Paul.

00:20:09.000 Someone else went out.

00:20:09.000 Santorum.

00:20:10.000 Santorum.

00:20:11.000 Which, surprisingly...

00:20:12.000 That he endorsed Rubio.

00:20:13.000 They're both Catholics.

00:20:15.000 That's true.

00:20:16.000 I mean, that's more of who I would have thought of.

00:20:18.000 We're birds of a feather.

00:20:19.000 We communion together.

00:20:21.000 The same in the rain or sun.

00:20:23.000 The Catholics.

00:20:24.000 Go ahead.

00:20:24.000 That's what they do.

00:20:25.000 I would have thought after he attended the whole Trump rally thing, ditched the primetime debate.

00:20:31.000 He may have gone Trump.

00:20:33.000 It was kind of confusing.

00:20:34.000 Full disclosure, I know the Santorms pretty well, and I was surprised by that.

00:20:39.000 We've had his daughter, Elizabeth, on this program.

00:20:41.000 Lovely girl.

00:20:42.000 Lovely gal, that Elizabeth Centaur. 1.00

00:20:47.000 But I do think that as those people drop out, the lion's share of those people are going to anyone not named Trump right now.

00:20:53.000 Whether you like it or not, I think Trump's popularity is about as high as it's going to be.

00:20:59.000 And he has the highest unfavorability rating of any president ever.

00:21:04.000 Sitting or running in the last 20-something years at 60%.

00:21:08.000 George Bush, at his absolute worst, did not have a disapproval rating of 60%.

00:21:12.000 So that's going to be tough to overcome.

00:21:18.000 You know what?

00:21:19.000 We're going to bring on Ben Shapiro after this to cut through this and get this video stream working well.

00:21:23.000 Lotto with Crowder.

00:21:24.000 Stay tuned.

00:21:24.000 And now it's time for your Dating Advice Minute with Bill Cosby.

00:21:42.000 Music Now, this week's letter comes to us from Allen, Michigan, from Gay Jerome.

00:21:50.000 Gay Jerome says he has a problem with his boyfriend no longer lusting after him as he felt they did when they first met.

00:22:01.000 Now, the toucan sounds fun!

00:22:03.000 I'll solve a two-for-one margarita knife!

00:22:07.000 Yeah, if that happens to the best of us, I will give you some advice.

00:22:14.000 I don't know a whole lot about the two jarreds and the gay jarreds and where's the pitch and the catcher and who's doing the pudding pap and who's doing... 1.00

00:22:22.000 I don't know about that, but I do know how to help relationship advice.

00:22:28.000 Give yourself Some drugs.

00:22:32.000 And then you're going to want to get yourself some coffee, maybe like the mocha, the vanilla, get yourself some of the flavoring to cover it up, but it's very important.

00:22:43.000 Gotta remember that he cannot be looking when you put the drugs in his coffee or you're gonna have a problem.

00:22:53.000 What you do is maybe you say, hey, I'm gonna make you some special coffee.

00:22:59.000 It might be a good idea for you to maybe first go to the proxy, make the peepee, and then you drug him or then you go around the brashy-a-bop. 0.92

00:23:07.000 This has been your Dating Advice Minute with Bill Cosby.

00:23:14.000 . . . . . .

00:23:26.000 Thank you.

00:23:56.000 I'm going to do the thing.

00:23:59.000 You said I wanted to I ain't got a thing to prove to you And I am so sorry about that.

00:24:16.000 For people who are watching the live stream, things went out and you had to watch Hopper sit.

00:24:21.000 I swear to you, that was the actual Hopper cam.

00:24:23.000 He is positively inert.

00:24:26.000 People didn't believe me, but I'm so glad to bring on our next guest.

00:24:29.000 We finally have him on, and he's a lawyer, a scholar, and a gentleman.

00:24:35.000 Ben Shapiro, glad to have you with us.

00:24:37.000 Yeah, glad to be here.

00:24:38.000 Just sorry I can't see you, Stephen, because that was going to make my evening of Yes, of course.

00:24:43.000 Well, right now I have this horrible homeless beard, and not gay Jared's going to be fired, of course, for the technical difficulties. 1.00

00:24:43.000 I know. 1.00

00:24:48.000 You know, it's funny, Ben.

00:24:49.000 We've had so many requests for you to be on.

00:24:51.000 Actually, Ben Shapiro was on this show before it was a show, when it was just a YouTube channel.

00:24:57.000 You were on to talk about primetime propaganda.

00:25:00.000 Remember that?

00:25:00.000 Oh, yeah.

00:25:01.000 I mean, listen, Stephen, you and I go all the way back to you actually trying out your Brazilian headlocks on me in my condom. 0.60

00:25:08.000 And you had a hernia. 0.61

00:25:09.000 I did have a hernia.

00:25:10.000 You had a hernia.

00:25:13.000 I remember that. 0.99

00:25:15.000 Not gay Jared is the second gayest thing. 0.89

00:25:18.000 Well, that's because you, well, no, what ended up being gayers, you went with Krav Maga instead, which is just... 0.99

00:25:23.000 That's true.

00:25:24.000 And that didn't work out.

00:25:25.000 No, it's just...

00:25:26.000 And that lasted for like six weeks. 0.91

00:25:28.000 And then it was CrossFit, which may be even gayers. 1.00

00:25:30.000 Oh, gosh. 0.76

00:25:31.000 Yeah, you're doing snatches for reps until you snap your spine up.

00:25:34.000 Yeah.

00:25:35.000 Well, listen, so full disclosure, people know Ben was actually acted as my lawyer on several contracts.

00:25:39.000 And he can tell you, I just said, I was like, listen, these people came and they want to give me this money.

00:25:44.000 You're a lawyer and you're Jewish.

00:25:46.000 I hear that's good, right?

00:25:47.000 He's like...

00:25:48.000 Vince, I'll take care of you.

00:25:50.000 It was basically Breaking Bad.

00:25:51.000 Yes, exactly, pretty much.

00:25:53.000 But it worked out.

00:25:53.000 I didn't end up getting hurt.

00:25:55.000 As a matter of fact, you know this, a lot of people in the conservative movement don't even own the rights to their own name.

00:26:00.000 It's owned by someone else.

00:26:01.000 It's trademarked.

00:26:02.000 And I don't know if it was you or just Divine Intervention, but that's actually never happened with me.

00:26:07.000 I've managed to maintain the rights.

00:26:08.000 I think I trademarked it a long time ago.

00:26:10.000 Well, I mean, I'm not the world's worst lawyer, so I did protect you somewhat.

00:26:13.000 This is true, but now you're doing a lot more speaking and you have your own podcast.

00:26:17.000 Where's the best place for people to find it, Ben?

00:26:19.000 You go to dailywire.com.

00:26:20.000 That's my website.

00:26:21.000 So I'm still editor-at-large over at Breitbart, but I'm editor-in-chief of Daily Wire, so that's more reflective, I think, of sort of my views on a general level because I assign more pieces there.

00:26:31.000 And then I have a radio show in the mornings on Carol 870 out here, and then obviously the podcast, which you can get it at iTunes, you can get it off SoundCloud, all the usual places.

00:26:40.000 Right.

00:26:41.000 Well, yeah, and I know people can get the videocast, which it's not a nightmare like ours is quite.

00:26:45.000 So, okay, Ben, we were just sort of talking about this.

00:26:49.000 I don't know.

00:26:50.000 Milo will come on.

00:26:50.000 I don't know.

00:26:51.000 Not gay, Jared. 1.00

00:26:51.000 Can we get them both on or no? 1.00

00:26:53.000 It'll have to be one or the other?

00:26:54.000 Yeah, I think so.

00:26:55.000 Which might be good, because some of Milo's audience might not be fans of Ben.

00:26:59.000 I was talking about this today.

00:27:00.000 I have been getting just a rash of anti-Semitic comments, and I'm not Jewish, and If you were, you'd automatically be the center on the Jewish basketball team.

00:27:12.000 Gary Goleman has that bit about how they had a reinforced rim at the Jewish Cultural Center.

00:27:17.000 He's like, there have been two broken rims in the history of the NBA, not one from a 4'9 Jewish boy. 1.00

00:27:25.000 Have you noticed a big uptick in this?

00:27:28.000 Well, it really only started when I started becoming critical of Trump.

00:27:31.000 So my original view of Trump was that he wasn't conservative, but he was hitting some of the right people.

00:27:36.000 So I was enjoying him hitting a lot of the right people.

00:27:38.000 I remember that.

00:27:39.000 I remember thinking it was odd, because I said those same things, but you seemed more emphatically pro-Trump.

00:27:45.000 But...

00:27:46.000 No, I mean, it really wasn't that I was emphatically pro-Trump.

00:27:48.000 I was just anti the media that was attacking Trump for the wrong reasons.

00:27:51.000 It was one thing to say Trump wasn't conservative.

00:27:53.000 Totally agreed.

00:27:54.000 But some of the hits on Trump were illegitimate.

00:27:56.000 And so I sort of tried to at least be objective enough to take out media hits on whichever candidate.

00:28:01.000 I mean, when they went after Ben Carson, for example, over the West Point thing, I was the one who really debunked the West Point story.

00:28:08.000 And that saved his candidacy at the time.

00:28:10.000 For what end, no one really knows.

00:28:12.000 And now, you know, I feel like I'm in the same place with Cruz because there's the Carson and the Trump and now the Rubio campaigns all hitting Cruz over this.

00:28:19.000 I don't know how much cursing you want on your podcast.

00:28:21.000 Well, no, this goes out to a bunch of stations on Terrestrial as well.

00:28:25.000 Oh, okay, so we'll be fair here.

00:28:26.000 So, yeah, so these BS charges that Cruz was responsible for voter fraud.

00:28:31.000 And basically, in the last three weeks...

00:28:33.000 It's not even well-done charges.

00:28:35.000 Do it! 0.97

00:28:35.000 No, it's ridiculous. 0.97

00:28:36.000 It's ridiculous. 0.99

00:28:37.000 On a legal level, okay? 0.99

00:28:38.000 Putting on the Jewish lawyer hat. 0.84

00:28:40.000 On a legal level, this is absurd.

00:28:42.000 And on a moral level, it's absurd, too.

00:28:44.000 I mean, when the news first broke that Ben Carson was skipping Iowa and New Hampshire and South Carolina and heading to Florida to pick up his laundry, like there are no laundromats in Manchester, New Hampshire.

00:28:55.000 You know, when that happened, everybody on the Internet did the same exact thing, which was, okay, his campaign's over.

00:28:59.000 This is just Could you imagine the white privilege that would be bandied about if a white person went back to Florida to change clothes?

00:29:08.000 That's exactly right.

00:29:09.000 If Ben Shapiro were running for office going, I'm flying across the country to change clothes, your privilege is showing.

00:29:17.000 I even tweeted out a Google map of all the Macy's in town for Ben Carson and all the dry cleaners in Manchester for Ben Carson.

00:29:24.000 I doubt that the best neurosurgeon in the country has seen shops at Macy's.

00:29:28.000 Though John Edwards, I don't know if you remember that, John Edwards used to get these designer suits and he would cut out the tag and put in a fake JCPenney tag so he could seem like one of the people.

00:29:36.000 Did you know that?

00:29:37.000 Well, we know that Donald Trump doesn't like Macy's because Macy's banned his ties.

00:29:41.000 The ties that were made in China, mind you.

00:29:43.000 Correct.

00:29:44.000 Correct.

00:29:45.000 But what's so absurd about this whole thing with Trump, to get back to your original question, is that I started off as kind of lukewarm on Trump, like he's hitting some of the right people.

00:29:53.000 He's a hammer in search of a nail.

00:29:55.000 That means sometimes he hits a nail and sometimes he hits a puppy.

00:29:58.000 But as long as he's hitting a nail every so often, then better...

00:30:00.000 here than not.

00:30:01.000 And then in the last two months, he really just started to go wild, not just against Cruz, which who cares, but against Cruz on non-conservative bases.

00:30:10.000 So all of a sudden, Cruz was a bad guy because he wasn't in favor of quasi-universal health care.

00:30:16.000 Cruz was a bad guy because he was born in Canada.

00:30:18.000 Cruz was a bad guy because Cruz was too right-wing and nobody liked him in the Senate.

00:30:22.000 Like, I care if somebody's liked in the Senate.

00:30:24.000 And this I found frustrating.

00:30:25.000 And as soon as I started getting critical of Trump, then all of a sudden I started getting exactly what you've been getting, which is, oh, you're a coxervative. 0.99

00:30:31.000 Oh, you're, you're, you're somebody who's, this is because you're a Jew, all you, you're Jews coming out and all this stuff. 1.00

00:30:37.000 And it's like, well, first of all, my Jew is always out.

00:30:39.000 I mean, like I wear this thing right here, this yarmulke.

00:30:41.000 I wear it all the time.

00:30:42.000 Don't take it off. 0.97

00:30:42.000 You're going to lose your Jew powers. 0.97

00:30:44.000 Well, exactly.

00:30:45.000 For those two seconds right there, I was vulnerable.

00:30:47.000 But fortunately, I'm in the protection of my protocols of the elders.

00:30:50.000 I picture it like a tea kettle, where you take it off and the steam goes out, only it's pure cash for the Jews. 1.00

00:30:56.000 Well, that's why I only take it off in the privacy of my own home.

00:30:59.000 I don't want to share that cash.

00:31:00.000 No, of course not.

00:31:01.000 You and your secret Jew gold. 0.98

00:31:03.000 Yeah, I do feel a kinship, I think, with the Jews because I've been the target of so many anti-Semitic comments. 0.95

00:31:10.000 I mean, not gay Jared knows, all the time.

00:31:12.000 I'm like, well, remember that one time I did that video on U of M and the guy yelled at me as some Zionist gulag? 0.71

00:31:17.000 He said, you Jew?

00:31:18.000 And I said, I'm not Jewish. 0.83

00:31:20.000 He goes, well, you look Jewish.

00:31:21.000 And it didn't make the cut because we knew that people would run with us and say it was anti-Semitic.

00:31:25.000 But what I said to him, I said, like, you meet a lot of 6'3", 225 Jews, do you? 0.75

00:31:30.000 Exactly.

00:31:30.000 He was just like, oh, Zionist gulag.

00:31:34.000 He called me a gulag, so I don't even know what he meant.

00:31:37.000 People give me the Jew thing a lot, and my automatic response on Twitter is yes. 0.96

00:31:43.000 And they'll say, like, Jew!

00:31:44.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:31:45.000 That's when you look at them and you see...

00:31:47.000 I knew the great people dead from 1966! 1.00

00:31:50.000 Who the f*** are you? 0.99

00:31:51.000 That's exactly right. 1.00

00:31:54.000 Where did you get the first clue?

00:31:56.000 Was it the name Ben Shapiro?

00:31:58.000 Could you come up with a more Jewish name?

00:32:01.000 There is a wing of the internet that is being, I would say, forwarded by certain people on the right.

00:32:08.000 It would be interesting to talk to Milo about this.

00:32:10.000 I know Milo and you and I, I think, have differences on this.

00:32:13.000 But there's a whole contingent of the alt-right.

00:32:16.000 I don't want to say it's the entire alt-right because I don't know the entire alt-right, but it's certainly a significant percentage of the alt-right that the minute you turned against Trump, all of the latent anti-Semitism came out.

00:32:27.000 So I was sort of like the good Jew until I started coming out against Trump.

00:32:32.000 And the minute that happened, it was, oh, well, he's in the pay of his Zionist masters. 0.93

00:32:35.000 And it's like, well, no, all the people who pay me aren't Jewish, actually.

00:32:40.000 Well, what was really bizarre was I did this thing on, first off, you're Jewish, okay? 0.99

00:32:45.000 Hitler. 0.57

00:32:46.000 Is there anything about Hitler's policies that were right-wing conservative?

00:32:49.000 Yes, no.

00:32:50.000 No.

00:32:51.000 Okay, exactly.

00:32:52.000 I just want to make sure there's someone far smarter than me who said it.

00:32:55.000 I did this and I wrote about it.

00:32:56.000 We talked about the 80% tax.

00:32:57.000 We talked about the gun control, socialized healthcare.

00:32:58.000 And so you had two responses.

00:33:00.000 You had leftists who were furious saying Hitler was a national socialist.

00:33:04.000 And, you know, democratic socialism is still mob rule, which eventually will favor the nationalists because they're the majority, right?

00:33:10.000 That's the whole problem with democracy over republic.

00:33:14.000 So they were really mad saying Hitler was not liberal.

00:33:16.000 And then there's a strong contingency of people who, of course, call me or you a conservative, who were mad because they also want to claim Hitler was not liberal and that he made Germany great again.

00:33:26.000 I'm not kidding.

00:33:27.000 These are actual tweets.

00:33:28.000 Hitler made Germany great again. 1.00

00:33:32.000 I've never seen this before, certainly not so openly.

00:33:35.000 And I've talked about this.

00:33:36.000 I do think a big...

00:33:37.000 The big responsibility of this is from the left.

00:33:39.000 The pendulum has, by its nature, had to swing further the other way.

00:33:43.000 Do you think this is just sort of a natural reaction to the politically correct authoritarian speech police?

00:33:48.000 Yeah, I mean, I think what's happened is that a lot of the people who are anti-establishment assume they're conservative because they're anti-establishment.

00:33:54.000 So they look at the political correct regime that has been created, and their immediate response is, I hate those people, so I'll side with the people on the other side.

00:34:01.000 But they're not necessarily on our side.

00:34:03.000 I mean, they're not necessarily conservative.

00:34:04.000 A lot of them are in favor of big government intervention in the economy.

00:34:07.000 A lot of them are in favor of high trade tariffs.

00:34:10.000 A lot of them are in favor of a tiny military.

00:34:13.000 So I'm not sure what exactly is so traditionally right-wing about any of this.

00:34:18.000 I mean, as far as the National Socialist thing and the Nazis being right-wing, the truth is that that was a meme that was originally started by communists.

00:34:23.000 I mean, if you're a communist, everybody is right-wing.

00:34:25.000 And so by communist lights, the Nazis were right-wing because if you're on the extreme left, then anything to the right of you is right. 0.60

00:34:32.000 But certainly Hitler didn't consider himself a right-winger by any stretch of the imagination.

00:34:36.000 He just considered himself anti-communist.

00:34:38.000 Well, I think he just considered himself anti-anything, not Hitler.

00:34:42.000 Well, I mean, there's truth to that, but he had a coherence ideology.

00:34:45.000 That's true.

00:34:45.000 And if you read his book, I mean, it's pretty clear what that coherence ideology was, and it's much more similar to modern international leftism than it is to anything traditionally conservative.

00:34:55.000 It's always fascinating.

00:34:56.000 I entirely agree with you, but then it gets really hard to make that argument, and then they go, well, actually, and they point to Trump making it about...

00:35:02.000 The thing is to me that I don't understand about the alternative right, and correct me if you think I'm wrong here, I've always been under this impression that...

00:35:08.000 Again, School of Breitbart, Malkin, people like Nick Searcy, you know, people who adopted children.

00:35:12.000 I got so much guff for saying I would adopt a black child today. 1.00

00:35:15.000 Like, so much crap that you wouldn't believe. 1.00

00:35:17.000 Why is that controversial? 0.99

00:35:18.000 I'm confused.

00:35:19.000 Well, because I'm a cuck-servative.

00:35:22.000 I was ultimately the impression that it wasn't about race.

00:35:24.000 It was about America being a set of ideals.

00:35:26.000 Because unlike a lot of these European nations, we are not really a race of people.

00:35:29.000 We are a melting pot of people from all different kinds of walks of life.

00:35:33.000 I know most of those were generally white.

00:35:35.000 But as long as you learn the language, as long as you subscribe to the American ideals, that's what we were trying to conserve.

00:35:41.000 Conservatism.

00:35:42.000 Conserve the ideas of America.

00:35:44.000 Not whiteness. 0.99

00:35:46.000 And it seems that maybe you just have a generation of people who are a little bit younger who don't really grasp that.

00:35:51.000 Do you think that's a component here?

00:35:53.000 I think that there are a lot of people who are ignorant of history.

00:35:55.000 I think there are a lot of people who are ignorant of philosophy and constitutionalism, and I think there are a lot of people who are lacking in values. 0.89

00:36:00.000 I also think that we've reached the point in American life where we're reverting to a pathetic tribalism, and it's true across the board. 0.95

00:36:07.000 You see people who are just identifying by tribe as opposed to by ideas, and that's really sick. 0.97

00:36:12.000 I mean, I think that's true for a lot of black folks. 0.91

00:36:14.000 I think it's true for a lot of white folks.

00:36:15.000 It's always been bizarre to me.

00:36:17.000 I'm a Jew, but I don't think of ethnic Jews as anything special. 0.96

00:36:21.000 When people make a big deal out of the fact that Sandy Koufax was a Jew, this has no bearing for me because he doesn't subscribe to my ideology as far as I know.

00:36:30.000 Certainly Noam Chomsky doesn't, and if Noam Chomsky were drowning in a river somewhere and somebody who was not Jewish who agreed with me was drowning in that same river, I would save the person who agreed with me.

00:36:40.000 I wouldn't save Noam Chomsky.

00:36:41.000 I don't care whether he's ethnically Jewish. 1.00

00:36:42.000 That's a stupid question. 1.00

00:36:43.000 You just said you would let Noam Chomsky drown in a river. 1.00

00:36:47.000 Yeah, I would.

00:36:49.000 I mean, if I, listen, I wouldn't let Noam Chomsky drown in a river if he were the only alternative, but if there were two people, I could save one.

00:36:56.000 You have to go to a break.

00:36:57.000 What if it was a puppy and Noam Chomsky?

00:37:01.000 Normally, I always save the human being, but in case of Noam Chomsky, I save the puppy.

00:37:04.000 That's fair.

00:37:04.000 All right, we have to go to a break, and we want to bring you back.

00:37:06.000 Ben Shapiro, DailyWire.com.

00:37:08.000 Thank you, brother.

00:37:09.000 Stay tuned for more Louder with Crowder.

00:37:13.000 What are you signaling to me?

00:37:14.000 Have I missed the break here with this live stream?

00:37:16.000 Is that what's happening, Jared?

00:37:17.000 Did you not do your math properly?

00:37:19.000 Are we still on live?

00:37:20.000 We're still on live.

00:37:21.000 We're still on live?

00:37:21.000 Am I supposed to hear the music come in?

00:37:23.000 Am I going to hear the music come in eventually here?

00:37:25.000 You do realize that you are fired.

00:37:27.000 And not in the sticky sense, in the real sense.

00:37:28.000 Ladder with Crowder will be back.

00:37:30.000 Ladder with Crowder.

00:38:00.000 Ladder with Crowder.

00:38:09.000 I'm Perry Mofferson.

00:38:11.000 In the wake of his triumphant victory in Iowa, Ted Cruz's party is not long-lived as his main rival for the GOP nominee, Donald Trump, accuses him of foul play.

00:38:24.000 We have a feed from Mr.

00:38:26.000 Trump's press conference as we split.

00:38:29.000 Frankly, Cruz didn't win anything.

00:38:32.000 Okay, listen, do you know what he did?

00:38:34.000 Do you know what Cruz did?

00:38:35.000 He went to caucus, and he told them.

00:38:37.000 He told them that caution was dropping out.

00:38:39.000 He told them I supported Obamacare.

00:38:40.000 He told them so many things about how would I support him.

00:38:42.000 He said I supported Obamacare.

00:38:44.000 He went out there, and I don't know if you know this, frankly.

00:38:46.000 Okay, I'm getting reports.

00:38:48.000 Then it's a pre-6-10-1, okay?

00:38:50.000 Anytime you put a button, and you hit the button.

00:38:52.000 And then you come back to the place where, okay, but we'll get together for elections.

00:38:56.000 I mean, come on, Hillary Clinton's going to be up for election? 1.00

00:38:58.000 And you kind of go back to that ideologically pure place, and then you realize everybody's still an evil prick.

00:39:04.000 An earthquake warning is in effect.

00:39:15.000 If it is mild, find a doorway.

00:39:17.000 If it's a stage four or higher, find an open area.

00:39:21.000 If it's a stage six, you're f- Whoa, Jared, what are you doing? 0.99

00:39:31.000 Shoot bad guys! 0.99

00:39:33.000 AR-15! 1.00

00:39:33.000 With what? 1.00

00:39:34.000 Where'd you get it?

00:39:35.000 AR-15.com!

00:39:36.000 Oh, there's another one!

00:39:37.000 Kaboom! 0.99

00:39:38.000 You got him!

00:39:39.000 Yeah!

00:39:39.000 Thank God for AR-15.com!

00:39:41.000 They have AR-15 and accessories for sale and the best advice there is on the web!

00:39:45.000 Oh no, there's another one!

00:39:46.000 Kaboom! 0.99

00:39:47.000 You got him!

00:39:48.000 Yeah!

00:39:49.000 With your what?

00:39:50.000 AR-15!

00:39:51.000 AR-15.com!

00:39:51.000 From where?

00:39:52.000 That's the best place to go, and that's the takeaway, because this commercial's about to stop.

00:39:56.000 And we are glad to be back again.

00:40:16.000 I am getting multiple tweets to fire Not Gay Jared. 0.93

00:40:19.000 Fire Not Gay Jared. 0.99

00:40:20.000 This is a disaster.

00:40:21.000 Your live stream is going off the rails. 0.65

00:40:23.000 Not Gay Jared is fired.

00:40:24.000 We can hear Ben Shapiro over your Perry Matheson, over Donald Trump.

00:40:28.000 So the people have spoken.

00:40:29.000 We might have to put up a poll here and see if we want Not Gay Jared to be fired. 0.95

00:40:32.000 Ben Shapiro, I'm so sorry that you've been dragged into this.

00:40:35.000 Oh, no, no worries.

00:40:36.000 I mean, as long as people heard me cursing a blue streak, they know I'm cool and down with the phone.

00:40:39.000 Well, you weren't cursing a blue streak, but you were actually baring your soul.

00:40:42.000 For those listening terrestrially, on the commercial break, sometimes you can hear things that you can't hear terrestrially.

00:40:48.000 And Ben was talking about this.

00:40:49.000 Listen, Ben and I both were pretty young when we got started.

00:40:52.000 I mean, I was the youngest contributor ever to Fox when I was 21.

00:40:56.000 Am I allowed to say that Ben helped me with my contract with every single entity at that point?

00:41:01.000 Yeah.

00:41:02.000 Like you said...

00:41:02.000 Yeah, and I was a syndicated columnist when I was 17, and I know that both of us...

00:41:05.000 There you go.

00:41:06.000 You have to one-up me.

00:41:07.000 You have to one-up me.

00:41:08.000 Of course, dude.

00:41:09.000 Come on.

00:41:10.000 But for both of us, this is what I was saying.

00:41:13.000 For people who are trying to hear what I was saying over the terrible commercial during the break, what I was actually saying was that you start off in this movement when you start off young.

00:41:21.000 As an ideologue, somebody who really is a true believer.

00:41:24.000 And then you realize that most of the people in the movement are actually awful.

00:41:27.000 And then you sort of become cynical and you realize so many people are just nasty and in it to make a buck.

00:41:33.000 And then you think, okay, well, at election time, at least, we'll sort of get our act together and we'll come back to, okay, we got to beat Hillary Clinton.

00:41:39.000 We got to find the most conservative person who can win.

00:41:41.000 We're on the same page.

00:41:42.000 And then you just are disillusioned all over again.

00:41:45.000 And it is massively depressing.

00:41:47.000 And it's happening candidate by candidate and group by group.

00:41:50.000 And every time I think I hate the establishment more, I realize that I hate the media more.

00:41:55.000 And then I realize that the grassroots are screwing everyone.

00:41:57.000 And it's terrible.

00:41:58.000 And I always considered myself an anti-establishment, pro-grassroots guy.

00:42:02.000 And I still do. 0.92

00:42:03.000 But I really feel like this whole thing has just turned into a massive clown show.

00:42:07.000 And it's depressing.

00:42:08.000 I know some people are listening right now, hearing Ben Shapiro, and they're thinking to themselves. 1.00

00:42:12.000 Everything that guy just says is bullshit. 0.98

00:42:15.000 So, not going to make a lot of friends with that. 1.00

00:42:18.000 I agree with you, though.

00:42:20.000 I remember talking with Andrew Breitbart when he was filling in for, I think, Dennis Miller.

00:42:24.000 Remember when Rubio beat Crist?

00:42:26.000 What a big deal that was.

00:42:28.000 That was a big anti-establishment victory.

00:42:30.000 And then people can actually go and look at footage from years ago where I was talking to people.

00:42:34.000 You know, whenever I would do stand-up comedy, they'd always open to this Q&A. And I mean, I've been doing stand-up since – well, I've been doing stand-up since I was 18.

00:42:42.000 But now in the conservative side, people ask these Q&As and they would go, who's the next person?

00:42:47.000 And I remember for years, right, it was Bobby Jindal.

00:42:49.000 Well, not for years, for months.

00:42:50.000 And then it was Marco Rubio.

00:42:51.000 And then it was Ted Cruz.

00:42:52.000 And I would always tell them, listen, it's not the guy.

00:42:55.000 There is no the guy.

00:42:56.000 The guy will always change.

00:42:57.000 And I remember actually about this would have been a year and three months ago when I was talking to an audience in Flint, Michigan.

00:43:04.000 Don't drink the tap water, by the way.

00:43:05.000 And I said, listen, last year you would have said Marco Rubio was the guy.

00:43:09.000 And everyone goes, no, boo, Ted Cruz, Ted Cruz.

00:43:12.000 This is a room of about 700 people who came out to watch this show in St.

00:43:16.000 Clair Shores.

00:43:17.000 And I wonder how many of them right now would say Ted Cruz is the guy.

00:43:20.000 I wonder how many of them would even admit to having said Ted Cruz is the guy.

00:43:23.000 It does come down to a messiah complex, and I do find it somewhat ironic that the same people who claim that someone like me, who is a cuck-servative, or you, who actually just speak on issues, whether it's popular or not.

00:43:37.000 I sign my own checks.

00:43:39.000 I know you work for some other companies.

00:43:39.000 You're an entrepreneur.

00:43:42.000 At the same time, they call us weak cuck-servatives, but then get mad when we speak out against someone who might be more popular.

00:43:47.000 It's an irony that I think is lost on them.

00:43:49.000 I think that's true.

00:43:50.000 And it's annoying because, again, I've defended Trump when I thought that Trump was right, or at least when I thought he was being unfairly maligned.

00:43:58.000 And I've really, I think, done my best to do this.

00:44:00.000 But, you know, I don't want this to turn into a sob session.

00:44:02.000 I think that it's more important to say, okay, where can we go from here?

00:44:04.000 And I think that, and I'll be frank with you, I am the most pessimistic person on the right side of the aisle.

00:44:10.000 I am deeply pessimistic.

00:44:11.000 I think that we're going to lose the election.

00:44:13.000 I think that it doesn't matter who we nominate.

00:44:15.000 I come with terrible tidings.

00:44:16.000 Take the yarmulke off and see if you become more positive.

00:44:20.000 Hold on one second.

00:44:21.000 Is everything bright now?

00:44:22.000 Whoa! 0.71

00:44:23.000 Whoa! 0.71

00:44:24.000 I'm seeing things in a whole new light!

00:44:27.000 This is manna, people!

00:44:29.000 Why are we bitching? 1.00

00:44:30.000 Whoa, what's...

00:44:31.000 Wait, like, there's light in this room and I'm feeling sort of sick. 0.97

00:44:37.000 Oh, no, no, things suck again.

00:44:39.000 I don't know what happened there for a second. 1.00

00:44:42.000 You're a self-loathing Jew, Ben! 0.99

00:44:45.000 Is it the whole thing? 1.00

00:44:46.000 Whatever.

00:44:47.000 Here's the problem.

00:44:48.000 If you want to build a movement, build a movement.

00:44:50.000 If you want to pretend to build a movement, do what you're doing right now.

00:44:52.000 Because the right keeps...

00:44:54.000 They've always been like this.

00:44:55.000 We run election to election.

00:44:57.000 We just worry about what's right in front of us.

00:44:59.000 And then we lose.

00:45:00.000 And then we say, oh, well, it's just that makes it more urgent that we win the next election.

00:45:04.000 So we have to get the most electable guy.

00:45:06.000 We have to find the guy who's most electable.

00:45:07.000 And that guy will save us.

00:45:08.000 He'll ride in like Reagan on a white horse.

00:45:10.000 And it never happens that way.

00:45:12.000 Reagan rode in on a white horse, and it still didn't save the country for long.

00:45:15.000 I mean, he delayed sort of the inevitable slide.

00:45:18.000 And the fact is that if you want to build a movement, then you need to start...

00:45:21.000 If we have to...

00:45:22.000 Again, my pessimistic view.

00:45:24.000 If we're going to lose this time, and I don't know that we are, but let's say that we are.

00:45:27.000 Hold on a second.

00:45:27.000 This is a very negative segment.

00:45:29.000 What is your problem, you insensitive a**hole? 0.99

00:45:33.000 Lighten it up. 0.99

00:45:35.000 Give us something to go on here, Ben.

00:45:37.000 They're looking to you with the higher IQ to give them hope.

00:45:40.000 The problem is, the reason that I have the higher IQ than everybody who's watching is because I don't give you hope.

00:45:47.000 The prophets get stoned in the temple.

00:45:48.000 That's how this works.

00:45:50.000 The bottom line here is that you do need to start from the premise that a movement needs to be built, and that movement needs to be built on ideas, not on temporary coalitions of power, because the left builds movements on ideas.

00:46:04.000 There's a reason that Bernie Sanders...

00:46:05.000 It's competing with Hillary Clinton for who can be more socialist, and then they get in power and they push their agenda. 1.00

00:46:10.000 I really think the difference between the left and the right is this easy.

00:46:13.000 In 1972, George McGovern gets destroyed by Richard Nixon.

00:46:16.000 The left sees that as a pivotal moment and moves to the left.

00:46:19.000 The right looks at 64, and we got Reagan out of 1964 and Barry Goldwater's loss, and we still say, oh boy, we can't have 1964 all over again.

00:46:27.000 That would just be horrible.

00:46:28.000 No, it's about the movement that you build, not about the singular election in which you engage.

00:46:34.000 Alright, well let's go to something fun.

00:46:35.000 You think Hillary Clinton killed a guy?

00:46:38.000 I'm not sure.

00:46:39.000 I don't think Hillary Clinton killed the guy.

00:46:41.000 I think that if she had the strength in her arthritic fingers to do it, she probably would. 0.92

00:46:46.000 But I don't think that she killed the guy.

00:46:48.000 I talk about that a lot.

00:46:50.000 Like they've never heard of Vince Foster.

00:46:50.000 People go, who?

00:46:53.000 Yeah, I don't think she killed Vince Foster. 0.98

00:46:56.000 If she were going to kill somebody, it would be one of Bill's rape victims. 1.00

00:46:58.000 Well, I think you might be next on that list. 0.99

00:47:01.000 All right, Ben Shapiro, we've got to get going pretty soon.

00:47:02.000 Where's the best place for people to find you?

00:47:04.000 Go to dailywire.com and check everything out.

00:47:06.000 All right.

00:47:07.000 And Ben, we will have you back when this is not a disaster and Nakey Jared will be fine.

00:47:11.000 Okay, so I'll be back in a couple of years.

00:47:12.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:47:12.000 All right.

00:47:13.000 Ben Shapiro, thank you very much, good sir.

00:47:16.000 Coming up after this break, that means we're going to have Milo Yiannopoulos.

00:47:21.000 And we'll see how that one goes.

00:47:23.000 My guess is it could get a little rowdy.

00:47:29.000 Could get pretty rowdy, right, Nakey Jared? 0.99

00:47:32.000 I'm busy looking for other jobs.

00:47:34.000 Yeah, I know.

00:47:35.000 I don't know how long we have until a break now.

00:47:37.000 So, Mylonopolis when we come back. 0.95

00:47:38.000 Stay tuned.

00:47:40.000 Stay tuned.

00:48:08.000 Oh, hey, Lyle.

00:48:09.000 Didn't see you there.

00:48:10.000 What are you doing?

00:48:10.000 Hey, I'm just relaxing and enjoying my 1978 Baldo, a fine beverage after a fine game of racquetball at the Wimbledon.

00:48:18.000 There's no more quality establishment than the Wimbledon, you know.

00:48:21.000 That sounds fun.

00:48:22.000 I don't really know a whole lot about wine.

00:48:24.000 That's why I go to simplifiedwine.com, or I just call their number.

00:48:28.000 What's that number, Jared?

00:48:29.000 844-297-WINE. Oh, where'd he come from?

00:48:33.000 His voice aggravates me.

00:48:34.000 I have him chained to a caravan.

00:48:36.000 For simpletons like me who don't know a whole lot about wine, just what I like, it makes it easy.

00:48:41.000 I either get to call, go to the website, talk with a sommelier, list what I like, what I don't like, my budget, and can have it shipped directly to my door, or gift-wrapped and sent to a friend.

00:48:51.000 It doesn't get any simpler than that.

00:48:53.000 Simplified wine, you say?

00:48:54.000 I prefer more of a barrier to entry. 1.00

00:48:57.000 I know you do, Lyle, but you're an elitist bastard. 0.98

00:48:59.000 That's why for simpletons like me, I prefer simplifiedwine.com or just calling 844-297-WINE. 0.99

00:49:06.000 You've found yourself at the junction where worlds meet.

00:49:20.000 Politics.

00:49:21.000 Civility?

00:49:22.000 How about honesty in this country, folks?

00:49:24.000 Entertainment.

00:49:25.000 I don't like entertainment.

00:49:27.000 And a whole bunch of other stuff.

00:49:30.000 It's about having a healthy body image.

00:49:32.000 You have a very unhealthy body.

00:49:34.000 You should have a horrible body image. 0.96

00:49:35.000 Not a big home improvement market, Detroit.

00:49:37.000 We are definitely going to get letters.

00:49:40.000 You're listening to Talk Radio's Strangest Animal. 0.97

00:49:44.000 You're a strange animal. 0.95

00:49:46.000 That's what I know. 0.99

00:49:48.000 You're getting louder with Crowder. 0.99

00:49:51.000 But you're a strange animal. 0.73

00:49:53.000 I got to follow.

00:49:57.000 Oh, I'm in the speedy test.

00:49:59.000 We'll be right back.

00:50:00.000 Oh, you know what that means.

00:50:02.000 That sound means that we are in the second hour.

00:50:04.000 Glad, thank you.

00:50:05.000 Tweets all over the place that Nakia Jared should be fired. 1.00

00:50:08.000 The good news is there are thousands of people listening online right now.

00:50:11.000 It's the live stream.

00:50:12.000 One of them is no doubt hiring.

00:50:14.000 Excited to bring on our next guest, was supposed to be on last week, violently ill, Milo Yiannopoulos.

00:50:21.000 Thanks for being on, sir.

00:50:23.000 Thank you, Angel.

00:50:24.000 How are you?

00:50:25.000 Oh my gosh, I didn't reveal until...

00:50:28.000 Look at you.

00:50:29.000 Look at the new pump.

00:50:30.000 You're going rockabilly.

00:50:31.000 Oh, you like it?

00:50:32.000 Well, I do.

00:50:33.000 I think you're kind of stealing my style.

00:50:36.000 You think I'm stealing my style?

00:50:37.000 I've never had another haircut.

00:50:38.000 I hate that it's now trendy.

00:50:40.000 Is this your haircut?

00:50:41.000 Is this what you have?

00:50:42.000 Pretty much, except I just don't overdo it.

00:50:45.000 If I were trolling the bars, I would do it like yours.

00:50:48.000 The problem is now when I go in, I say, listen, give me this.

00:50:51.000 And they go, oh, and they try and cut it like yours because that's the trend. 0.55

00:50:53.000 I'm like, no, no, I don't want it as exaggerated.

00:50:55.000 Yours isn't exaggerated.

00:50:56.000 You go big.

00:50:57.000 You know, I just wake up like this.

00:50:58.000 I mean, other people tell me stories about hours spent in the salon.

00:51:02.000 I just wake up and I look like this.

00:51:03.000 Well, you were coughing up a lung from some seafood poisoning, from what you told me, so hopefully you're feeling better.

00:51:08.000 I had, well, I went for a very beautiful meal, which was a lovely tasting menu, yadda yadda, but I think the oysters were maybe a bit bad, so I was supposed to be doing a pre-record with you, and I was kind of like spontaneously having stomach convulsions on the side of the motorway, so I'm sorry we didn't get to do that, but hey, you got me live even better.

00:51:27.000 We'll talk about that afterward.

00:51:29.000 So, rough week for you, Milo.

00:51:32.000 It was a rough week.

00:51:33.000 I saw your tweets when Trump lost the caucus.

00:51:36.000 You were not thrilled.

00:51:37.000 No, no, no, no.

00:51:37.000 Oh, daddy.

00:51:38.000 Daddy's fine.

00:51:39.000 Daddy's fine.

00:51:40.000 Listen, nobody cares about Iowa. 0.99

00:51:42.000 Nobody gives a shit about it. 0.98

00:51:43.000 They haven't picked a nominee since 2000. 0.98

00:51:45.000 This goes out to FCC stations, so let's keep the language to...

00:51:49.000 Oh, I'm sorry. 0.95

00:51:50.000 I know what you guys do in your seedy little gay bars with your bug chasers. 1.00

00:51:56.000 Deplorable and disgusting homosexuals. 1.00

00:51:57.000 It is deplorable. 1.00

00:51:58.000 Hey, can you for once...

00:52:00.000 Do you think I'm a cuck-servative, Milo?

00:52:03.000 Yes, but I am too, so it's okay.

00:52:05.000 Really?

00:52:06.000 You are too?

00:52:07.000 Yeah, no, no.

00:52:08.000 I mean, some of the people who use that word like me, but I still am one.

00:52:13.000 I did a test.

00:52:14.000 There's like a seven-question, like a questionnaire, and I think, like, strong support for Israel, like, immediately puts you in the coxervative box, so I'm busy as well. 0.98

00:52:26.000 And I think being a fag doesn't help. 1.00

00:52:28.000 It doesn't help. 1.00

00:52:30.000 What else?

00:52:31.000 There's some other thing that I believe in that they don't like.

00:52:33.000 Oh, like...

00:52:35.000 I suppose I would be probably kind of neocon on foreign policy because I'm quite hawkish. 0.99

00:52:40.000 You get a pass because you're flamboyantly gay. 0.85

00:52:43.000 Yes, but I think the alt-right, who I have many sympathies with, by the way, I like in many ways, I think they tend to be fairly anti-war, anti-expansionism. 0.97

00:52:55.000 Except they love Hitler. 0.76

00:52:58.000 Well, I think that most of, I know, I think that the press has completely got that wrong.

00:53:02.000 No, no, I'm talking about my timeline right now is literally nothing but pro-Hitler comments from the alt-right.

00:53:08.000 Yeah, but they do it because it gets to you.

00:53:09.000 Oh, no, it doesn't get to me at all.

00:53:11.000 They do it because they support Hitler. 0.91

00:53:13.000 It's got to you because you're bringing it up. 0.94

00:53:15.000 Look, these people are professional trolls on the internet.

00:53:19.000 Why do they send Jonah Goldberg of National Report?

00:53:22.000 No, I've never coached them.

00:53:24.000 Why do they send Jonah Goldberg of National Review horrible things about Jews?

00:53:28.000 Because he never shuts up about it when they do.

00:53:31.000 People don't troll because it doesn't work.

00:53:33.000 People troll because they get under people's skin and they fly off the handle.

00:53:37.000 You've got to remember, a lot of these are 17-year-old kids, for God's sake.

00:53:41.000 And they don't have any living relatives through the Second World War.

00:53:46.000 So you would, of course, say there's nothing wrong with me saying I would adopt a black child.

00:53:52.000 Why would there be anything wrong with that?

00:53:53.000 Oh, there you go. 1.00

00:53:53.000 Oh, you're a cuck. 1.00

00:53:54.000 How dare you? 1.00

00:53:56.000 I want chocolate babies, too.

00:53:58.000 I just think they're funny.

00:54:00.000 And also, I think I have a better chance of not having to pay for college because I get a scholarship.

00:54:06.000 I've been trying to get pregnant with my black people. 0.99

00:54:07.000 Stop it! 1.00

00:54:09.000 Stop it! 0.99

00:54:10.000 These are good people watching right now, Milo.

00:54:14.000 It's like a weird episode of that Arnold Schwarzenegger movie with him and the fat guy.

00:54:20.000 Oh, twins?

00:54:21.000 That's what he looks like!

00:54:23.000 Milo Yiannopoulos is dressed like the twins cover.

00:54:27.000 They had those Hawaiian shirts.

00:54:28.000 I don't think I was born then, or I wasn't old enough to see that, I don't know.

00:54:31.000 What are you talking about?

00:54:32.000 You're older than me.

00:54:33.000 Stop it.

00:54:34.000 I'm not older than you.

00:54:35.000 Just a little known fact for people out there.

00:54:37.000 Anytime I book Milo Yiannopoulos for this show, even if he's available, he's going to tell you that he's not available.

00:54:44.000 And flip it on you.

00:54:46.000 Why are you saying that?

00:54:47.000 Absolutely true.

00:54:48.000 Literally, if I could bring up the email thread.

00:54:51.000 Okay, this time tomorrow?

00:54:52.000 And he sends his assistant in.

00:54:54.000 I'm having dinner at this time.

00:54:56.000 You know this, love.

00:54:58.000 No, no, no, because you asked for me at a time when I was supposed to be having supper, and, like, I have, like, two evenings to myself a week these days, right?

00:55:07.000 I try to, like, I try to keep, I don't have, I can't, like, I can't claw Sunday back, so instead I have, like, two evenings a week of me time.

00:55:13.000 Do you call it supper or dinner?

00:55:16.000 Well, because I was schooled properly, I call it supper. 0.99

00:55:21.000 You also don't pronounce your R's, you smug prick. 0.99

00:55:28.000 What do you think I should be saying? 0.98

00:55:29.000 No, I just wonder, because supper in French, soupé, it comes from French.

00:55:32.000 So it's just, Diné is a whole, and they bastardize Diné, so I don't know.

00:55:36.000 It's cool, probably, just because I speak three languages.

00:55:38.000 I love it when Americans pretend to understand European languages.

00:55:42.000 Well, I was raised in Canada.

00:55:43.000 I spoke color with a U, so I'm a half-breed. 0.93

00:55:45.000 Oh, awful.

00:55:47.000 Awful.

00:55:51.000 This is why I'd never come on your show, because I don't like appearing in public with Canadians. 1.00

00:55:55.000 This is true.

00:55:55.000 Listen, no one is proud of it, okay?

00:55:58.000 No one's proud of being Canadian, especially now with Trudeau.

00:56:02.000 Oh my gosh.

00:56:04.000 So, okay.

00:56:05.000 I didn't want to interrupt.

00:56:06.000 So where are you feeling this week?

00:56:09.000 You said you feel fine?

00:56:10.000 Because I know you've talked about Trump, but you even said on the Rogan podcast, you're not really hoping he wins.

00:56:15.000 You like the show.

00:56:16.000 Well, I'm on the fence about that now, because I'm starting to get really into...

00:56:19.000 I mean, the more I find out about the American Republican establishment and the American political establishment generally, the more I realize it's just like ours in London, and the more I want to see it hurt.

00:56:28.000 But they endorse Trump.

00:56:31.000 The more I want to see it suffer.

00:56:33.000 No, I mean, they're coming round to the idea that they might have to pretend to tolerate him because they think he's controllable and they don't think Cruise is.

00:56:43.000 Truthfully, though, wouldn't we admit that's kind of a testament to the fact that Cruise has pissed so many people off because he does his own thing, whether you like it or not?

00:56:50.000 Yeah, yeah, and he should wear that as a badge of pride.

00:56:54.000 I certainly would.

00:56:56.000 Yeah, for sure.

00:56:57.000 He's like the straight version of you.

00:57:01.000 No, no, no, no.

00:57:03.000 Because he's...

00:57:04.000 No, there's something slightly amphibian about Ted Cruz.

00:57:06.000 Like, if you touched his hands, they'd be sort of clammy and cold.

00:57:10.000 He's kind of like Mr.

00:57:11.000 Rogers with a Dracula's Widow peek.

00:57:13.000 I can't warm to him, and I don't know why.

00:57:16.000 I think he may just be like one of those people that you can't empathize with.

00:57:20.000 He's just like a brick wall emotionally, and I just can't get inspired by him.

00:57:24.000 He's not like Daddy, is he?

00:57:26.000 He's no Daddy. 0.92

00:57:26.000 No, it's insight from a sociopathic narcissist, so that's a good analyst. 0.92

00:57:30.000 Well, you know, poachers make the best gamekeepers, so I'm just letting you know I see him as a sort of fellow sociopath.

00:57:37.000 How do you see this playing out in Britain, right, as someone who comes in from Europe?

00:57:41.000 Europe's fallen.

00:57:42.000 You know that.

00:57:42.000 We know that.

00:57:43.000 Are they too close to the forest to see the trees, or do they see this and go, you know what, Trump might be right about some things?

00:57:50.000 Brits don't like Trump because they don't like the brashness of his particular style of American conspicuous consumption and unapologetic brashness.

00:58:01.000 Europeans, and particularly Brits, don't like that at all.

00:58:04.000 So they sort of instinctively know they don't like him, and then they search for reasons...

00:58:10.000 Search for reasons they can say they don't like him that are a bit more publicly acceptable than I don't like brash people, which is the truth.

00:58:17.000 So they'll say, for example, he's an Islamophobe or he's a racist or whatever.

00:58:19.000 We have this grotesque, terrible spectacle of our MPs in Parliament wasting taxpayer money.

00:58:25.000 And that's where people like me, who have defended Trump on those issues, that, you know, what was it, duck, frump, whatever, that fake social justice warrior thing.

00:58:33.000 He has the right enemies most of the time.

00:58:37.000 He does, and this is why I wish you guys would get on board the train a bit more often, or at least just acknowledge this more often, because I know you hate him as a serious candidate, but I judge people by their enemies, and there is nobody, with the possible exception of me, that annoys the progressive left as much as the dear, sweet daddy.

00:58:55.000 Well, I've been doing it back since 2009, when Trump was a Democrat, and I think, I don't know what you were doing, but I've pissed them off for a long time.

00:59:02.000 Trump's a Democrat.

00:59:04.000 Well, he was against anti-Islamic speech about half a year ago.

00:59:09.000 Okay, whatever.

00:59:10.000 I don't think if his particular policy positions are why people vote for him anyway.

00:59:14.000 So if you're trying to interrogate him on the basis of ideological consistency...

00:59:17.000 No, I think you're right.

00:59:18.000 If people like him, it has nothing to do with...

00:59:18.000 I think you're right.

00:59:20.000 You don't understand him and you don't understand his voters if you're trying to interrogate him according to policy positions.

00:59:25.000 No, not policy positions.

00:59:26.000 I'm just talking about the free speech position.

00:59:27.000 You know, it's a Pam Geller thing.

00:59:28.000 I think it would be great if we point back to that.

00:59:31.000 I get the feeling that he's not as robust on free speech as I would like, but I believe that he can be educated on that.

00:59:35.000 I have had some, you know, on what little he said, for example, about technology and video games, which is an area that, the two areas that I'm into, his positions aren't perfect there, but that's only because I think they haven't really been fleshed out and gone through yet.

00:59:48.000 I think on free speech, he's sort of wavered slightly, and as you know, I'm a...

00:59:52.000 Yes, well, that's all I want to go before we go to the break.

00:59:54.000 In England, Europe, is free speech making a comeback, do you think, or is it gone forever?

00:59:58.000 No, it never will.

01:00:00.000 Really?

01:00:00.000 There's a chance in America, because you have the First and, thank God, the Second Amendment, that basically protects your rights and your freedoms, that we don't have anything comparable in Europe.

01:00:11.000 We don't have anything similar, and we don't have any...

01:00:16.000 Nobody in the public square is sticking up for freedom of speech and nobody serious is sticking up for sort of free intellectual inquiry and honest open discussion.

01:00:26.000 You do see it in America and you see a lot everywhere in America, even if the current establishment run by progressives in academia, media, publishing and news is is in the opposite direction.

01:00:37.000 There is at least a huge body of people in public life who are saying, whoa!

01:00:41.000 I know you're busy, and we do have to go to a break because this is syndicate.

01:00:45.000 So where's the best place for people to find you, Milo?

01:00:47.000 Oh, you can find me on Twitter at twitter.com slash Nero for as long as I'm still allowed to have it.

01:00:51.000 And he will be in Michigan performing soon, and we'll be working on some videos.

01:00:55.000 Milo, thank you so much for being here.

01:00:57.000 We will have you back again soon.

01:00:58.000 Ladder with Crowder.

01:00:58.000 Stay tuned.

01:01:33.000 An earthquake warning is in effect.

01:01:36.000 If it is mild, find a doorway.

01:01:38.000 If it's a stage four or higher, find an open area. 0.99

01:01:43.000 If it's a stage six, you're f***ed. 0.99

01:01:46.000 If it's a stage six, you're f***ed. 0.99

01:02:15.000 You're giving me the God echo. 0.99

01:02:16.000 What is that?

01:02:18.000 What is that?

01:02:18.000 It's the coolest thing ever.

01:02:19.000 And actually, I don't even know if they can hear it.

01:02:21.000 It might just be special for us.

01:02:23.000 For us?

01:02:23.000 I don't know.

01:02:24.000 People tweet me at escrowder.

01:02:26.000 Are you hearing the God echo?

01:02:28.000 Because I'm hearing that in my own headphones.

01:02:30.000 Now it's gone.

01:02:31.000 I don't want it on.

01:02:31.000 Take it off.

01:02:32.000 I don't want it on.

01:02:33.000 You hear enough God in your own brain.

01:02:36.000 You really need to get your act together.

01:02:37.000 I do need to get your act together. 1.00

01:02:38.000 Fat, drunk, and stupid is no way to go through life, sir. 1.00

01:02:42.000 I gotta figure that out. 1.00

01:02:43.000 I don't know how we planned all day, all day to do this. 0.99

01:02:47.000 Are you mental? 0.97

01:02:48.000 I don't know. 0.99

01:02:51.000 Speaking of which, I want to talk about this other story.

01:02:54.000 By the way, Democrat debate happening.

01:02:56.000 Who cares?

01:02:57.000 I love how they just put these things when no one's going to watch them.

01:02:59.000 It doesn't even trend on Twitter, the Dem debate.

01:03:02.000 I didn't know it was going on at all.

01:03:03.000 In fact, it just kind of pops up and it's just kind of like, oh, rumors.

01:03:07.000 They ran the one opposite at home and Ronda Rousey, and then they ran the other one, was it like on a Sunday night?

01:03:12.000 I think the next one is on Super Bowl Sunday, and I think they're running it on Fox Sports 4.

01:03:20.000 Okay, so you may not have heard of this story.

01:03:23.000 By the way, in the bottom of the hour, we're going to have the Iowa caucus coin toss czar.

01:03:30.000 Jared is screwing with something.

01:03:32.000 So get off of politics a little bit.

01:03:34.000 A little bit of a surprise here.

01:03:35.000 I have this up on my screen.

01:03:37.000 We wrote about this at ladderwithcredder.com.

01:03:39.000 Girl Scouts are allowing cross-dressing boys to join.

01:03:43.000 That's fantastic.

01:03:45.000 America!

01:03:46.000 Go America! 1.00

01:03:46.000 So next time you buy some Girl Scout cookies, some Thin Mints, some Samoas, Might be a penis lurking around that corner. 1.00

01:03:56.000 Could be the Mickey Rourke Diner with the popcorn bucket on the first date, only with a box of Samoas.

01:04:01.000 So do not reach to that bottom horizontal row of Samoas, because it's not quite the Cracker Jack surprise you're used to.

01:04:09.000 Let me read this story for you.

01:04:13.000 I like to sell cookies because it's very nice to sell cookies, she told BuzzFeed News.

01:04:18.000 She is a he. 1.00

01:04:19.000 She is a he. 1.00

01:04:21.000 But when Stormy, who is transgender, started knocking on neighbors' doors near her home in Heron, Illinois, one man turned her away, saying, nobody wants to buy cookies from a boy in a dress. 1.00

01:04:35.000 What is your problem, you insensitive asshole? 1.00

01:04:39.000 I know, okay, this is a story from BuzzFeed. 1.00

01:04:43.000 I love that this guy said this to a child.

01:04:47.000 Some boy came up who was clearly a boy trying to sell him some Samoas, and he just said, no, this is not going to happen.

01:04:56.000 That dog won't hunt. 0.99

01:04:57.000 I'm not buying Girl Scout cookies from a boy in a dress. 1.00

01:05:00.000 So what happens?

01:05:01.000 It goes to the Washington Post, it goes to BuzzFeed, an LGBTQ support group from Idaho sent out for a call for support.

01:05:08.000 While out selling cookies, Stormy was met with negativity, no orders, and even one less-than-kind person.

01:05:14.000 As a parent, this made me angry.

01:05:15.000 As a parent of transgender children, this made me livid. 1.00

01:05:18.000 Hold on a second.

01:05:19.000 This is what I find very bizarre. 0.71

01:05:21.000 Transgender children? 0.88

01:05:23.000 Plural?

01:05:26.000 Listen, ma'am.

01:05:27.000 Your kids? 1.00

01:05:28.000 Are you crazy? 1.00

01:05:29.000 Those guys are retards! 1.00

01:05:30.000 Okay, they're not normal. 1.00

01:05:32.000 This is not normal to have several transgender children. 1.00

01:05:35.000 People do not realize how incredibly rare that is.

01:05:37.000 That is unbelievably rare.

01:05:38.000 That's like everyone in Rent having AIDS in the film.

01:05:42.000 They're like, it's society's fault.

01:05:43.000 No, something's going on that's a little bit bizarre here.

01:05:45.000 I have an image here up on my screen of the boy in a dress.

01:05:49.000 Listen, that's a boy in a dress. 0.65

01:05:53.000 Milo's prettier.

01:05:56.000 And if people think this sounds absurd, here's the thing with the alt-right or whoever it is, leftists who are anti-authoritarians but they still believe in high taxes or the Bernie Sanders.

01:06:05.000 This is the next logical step.

01:06:07.000 You can say now it's not the case.

01:06:09.000 We talked about, what's her name, the Norwegian girl who wanted to be a cat, Stephanie, the 52-year-old man who claims he's a 6-year-old girl.

01:06:17.000 You said that people were absolutely absurd when they talked about the unprecedented same-sex marriage, basically declaring that men and women were fundamentally interchangeable.

01:06:24.000 You said, no, there's no slippery slope. 1.00

01:06:26.000 That's just fear-mongering, conservatives are ignorant. 1.00

01:06:28.000 Well, here you go. 1.00

01:06:30.000 This is the next logical step.

01:06:32.000 And something that people don't think about, and Courtney Scoffs, follow her at Courtney Scoffs, who's brilliant, who writes for me.

01:06:39.000 We're talking about this boy in a dress, right? 0.88

01:06:42.000 What about the girls in the Girl Scouts?

01:06:46.000 What are Girl Scouts?

01:06:47.000 Do they go on camping trips?

01:06:48.000 I don't know.

01:06:48.000 My sister's in the Girl Scouts.

01:06:49.000 I know nothing except for I'm expecting a large package of cookies.

01:06:53.000 Soon.

01:06:53.000 My father-in-law got kicked out of the Boy Scouts because he only joined for the knife.

01:06:57.000 And the second he got a knife, he threw it at a kid.

01:06:59.000 They kicked him out.

01:07:01.000 I, in Canada, this is true, we had beavers.

01:07:03.000 That'll happen.

01:07:04.000 That'll happen.

01:07:05.000 Do you have that in the States, beavers?

01:07:05.000 We had beavers.

01:07:07.000 I have no idea what you're talking about.

01:07:10.000 It was before Boy Scouts.

01:07:14.000 And it was before Boy Scouts.

01:07:15.000 It was like the next level.

01:07:16.000 You were Beavers, then you were Cub Scouts, then Boy Scouts.

01:07:18.000 And there was this...

01:07:19.000 You want to talk about authoritarianism.

01:07:20.000 There was this woman on a power trip. 1.00

01:07:22.000 This is a true story.

01:07:23.000 My dad or my mom can tell you.

01:07:24.000 True.

01:07:25.000 100%.

01:07:25.000 I was two weeks past the join period.

01:07:28.000 My brother was older, and so he had joined Beavers.

01:07:31.000 And I thought, well, I didn't even know about it.

01:07:33.000 That sounds cool.

01:07:34.000 Jordan's in there.

01:07:34.000 I want to be in there.

01:07:35.000 It sounds fun.

01:07:36.000 And so I told my parents I wanted to join.

01:07:38.000 They said, okay, Stephen wants to join Beavers.

01:07:40.000 And so they went and they said, well, he can't.

01:07:42.000 It's past the sign-up period. 0.90

01:07:45.000 And my mom, you know, French Canadian, well, that's ridiculous. 1.00

01:07:47.000 And the kid, it's too weak. 0.99

01:07:48.000 He wants to go join the beaver, okay?

01:07:50.000 You're going to, you know, put his name in the hat and they do the scary Halloween with the, put your hand in the spaghetti, tell them it's brain, you know?

01:07:57.000 And that's fun.

01:07:59.000 That's what they do.

01:08:00.000 Remember that spaghetti haunted house?

01:08:01.000 You put your hands together like...

01:08:02.000 Oh, my parents were livid one time.

01:08:03.000 Brains and the grapes.

01:08:05.000 Because my parents, you know, grew up like, you know, Christian conservative and they came home like...

01:08:08.000 They didn't tell us that they were going to do that.

01:08:10.000 You put your hands in grapes.

01:08:12.000 They didn't inform us.

01:08:13.000 A Harry Potter book?

01:08:13.000 What's next?

01:08:15.000 Oh, goodness.

01:08:16.000 So, yeah.

01:08:17.000 And this woman said, no, he can't join us.

01:08:20.000 Pass the date.

01:08:21.000 And then my dad finally went to the board for Beavers.

01:08:24.000 This is absurd.

01:08:25.000 And I swear to you, this lady stood up to the board and said, Stephen will join Beavers over my dead body. 1.00

01:08:33.000 And you think I'm like Larry David?

01:08:35.000 My dad argued and argued and argued until he won.

01:08:37.000 And I was in Beavers.

01:08:39.000 I've met him just enough that I can absolutely picture that.

01:08:41.000 He just argued.

01:08:42.000 And I think he got that lady fired. 1.00

01:08:45.000 I remember we went on camping trips.

01:08:46.000 I don't know if Girl Scouts do.

01:08:47.000 Same thing, the Olympics are going to allow transgender people to compete in the Olympics. 1.00

01:08:51.000 I get that the guys want to...

01:08:52.000 You don't even have to get the sex change.

01:08:54.000 I get guys want to put on a dress, but what about the women who will be absolutely massacred in contact sports? 0.99

01:09:00.000 Or the women when they're out in their sleepovers and their slumber parties. 0.96

01:09:04.000 Think about a pillow fight with the Girl Scouts, only you're putting a boy in there? 0.95

01:09:09.000 It's going to be loaded up with steel-toed boots, knocking the hell out of those broads. 1.00

01:09:13.000 Ladder with Crowder, we'll be back to talk about something less weird.

01:09:16.000 Maybe.

01:09:16.000 Maybe. Maybe.

01:09:46.000 Maybe. Maybe. Maybe. " Welcome to Coo News.

01:10:01.000 News with a Super Coo Approach. 1.00

01:10:04.000 I am your host, Phil Coo.

01:10:07.000 This week, Dr.

01:10:22.000 You know I don't want no damn Maxwell house here in the green room. 0.97

01:10:24.000 I can't drink. 0.98

01:11:57.000 Thank you so much to our home stations, WAM in Ann Arbor, Patriot Voice, Northern Michigan, all over Florida, New Hampshire.

01:12:04.000 That's pretty big coming up.

01:12:05.000 By the way, the Dem debates...

01:12:06.000 Speaking of New Hampshire.

01:12:07.000 Speaking of New Hampshire, the Dem debates are going on. 0.99

01:12:09.000 Apparently, Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders are just losing their crap over each other. 1.00

01:12:14.000 That's fantastic. 0.99

01:12:15.000 Whenever I hear Bernie Sanders lose his mind, I think of that guy who got really mad outside of the Met.

01:12:19.000 You are everything that's gone wrong in this world!

01:12:19.000 Do you remember?

01:12:22.000 You are self-consumed, no talent, mediocre piece of shit! 1.00

01:12:26.000 If any of you haven't seen this, there's this guy who looks like... 1.00

01:12:29.000 He looks like a midget version of Andre the Giant. 1.00

01:12:31.000 And the guy is playing the trumpet.

01:12:33.000 He's like...

01:12:33.000 It's so funny to watch.

01:12:34.000 It's so funny.

01:12:35.000 And this guy just freaks out. 1.00

01:12:38.000 You miserable presumptuous, no talent! 1.00

01:12:40.000 Stop! 1.00

01:12:41.000 He just absolutely loses his mind.

01:12:44.000 And it's nothing offensive. 0.51

01:12:45.000 He just thinks the guy's a mediocre musician.

01:12:47.000 Not even like he's bad.

01:12:50.000 And he's not that bad.

01:12:52.000 He's not great, but he's not like...

01:12:52.000 I mean, he's not like...

01:12:53.000 Not like terrible.

01:12:55.000 Even like high school band.

01:12:56.000 Yeah, not like when you hear somebody first pick up a violin and you're like, Ugh, it sounds like a cat dying.

01:12:59.000 You know, a cat's dying.

01:13:00.000 This wasn't that bad, but he was just so offended.

01:13:04.000 I knew the Grateful Dead from 1966! 0.99

01:13:07.000 Who the f*** are you?! 1.00

01:13:10.000 But apparently Bernie and Hillary are losing their minds. 0.99

01:13:13.000 I can't really comment on it because we're running this program, and of course it's always hard to do research.

01:13:18.000 People might be listening to this syndicated on the weekend.

01:13:20.000 You might not be hearing it live, but for people hearing it live, they can update us on the Twitter at S. Crowder.

01:13:25.000 Here's something I wanted to talk about.

01:13:27.000 Speaking of Bernie Sanders, when people talk about the 1%, and we've talked about this sort of economic authoritarianism, right?

01:13:34.000 They talk about public company CEOs.

01:13:36.000 That's what's thrown around a lot.

01:13:38.000 Oh my gosh, the salaries, they're increasing when wages are stagnant.

01:13:44.000 When we're talking about the 1% or even the 0.1%, The vast majority are not public company CEOs who are screwing people through corporate boards.

01:13:53.000 When you're talking about 1%, you're talking about household income annually of $400,000, right?

01:13:57.000 That's the 1%. 0.86

01:13:58.000 The overwhelming majority are entrepreneurs, they're business owners who've created a better product or a better service.

01:14:06.000 They're not some kind of a CEO who you want to hate, except for Apple.

01:14:09.000 Apple notwithstanding.

01:14:10.000 We never talk about the Apple.

01:14:12.000 And believe me, I understand that big bank CEOs are terrible.

01:14:16.000 I don't believe in too big to fail.

01:14:17.000 The West Indies Trading Company employed a fifth of population earth.

01:14:20.000 They went bankrupt.

01:14:21.000 I've talked about that with Mark Madsen.

01:14:22.000 I think we talked about that with Sargon of a cat.

01:14:25.000 But the vast majority are business owners and entrepreneurs who, despite all of the alternatives available to you, the consumer, have convinced you to give them your money in exchange for their product.

01:14:37.000 Through competition, Most of these people have won your dollar to become a part of the 1%.

01:14:43.000 You've made them a part of the 1%. 0.94

01:14:46.000 And they're not big bank CEOs.

01:14:49.000 So when you eliminate the big bank CEOs, let's take away the rhetoric, and they're a tiny, tiny, tiny fraction of the wealthy that you think you hate.

01:14:57.000 You're talking about punishing people who provide you with nearly everything you use or enjoy.

01:15:05.000 From franchise owners down to, you go to your local Starbucks, you go to your local Bigby.

01:15:09.000 Oh God, I threw up!

01:15:11.000 Coffee?

01:15:12.000 They're not a sponsor.

01:15:13.000 Bigby will never be a sponsor.

01:15:16.000 Go to a local mom-and-pop coffee shop?

01:15:16.000 Don't get me started.

01:15:19.000 What about your grocery store?

01:15:21.000 What about these microphones that we're using?

01:15:23.000 We ordered these from a great store, Sweetwater, in Michigan.

01:15:26.000 All of those things.

01:15:27.000 What are your headphones?

01:15:29.000 Where are they coming from?

01:15:30.000 What about your glasses?

01:15:31.000 The lenses?

01:15:32.000 Did you go to an optometrist?

01:15:33.000 All of these people, if they're successful, if they've been around for, I don't have the exact number in front of me, I think it's somewhere between 5 and 10 years.

01:15:40.000 If you've gotten these from a business that have been around for more than 5 years, let's call it 10 years, that owner is part of the 1%.

01:15:50.000 And those are the people you're vilifying.

01:15:52.000 Those are the people the left wants you to hate.

01:15:55.000 And they want you to think there's unfair corporate influence in politics.

01:15:58.000 That's another thing.

01:15:59.000 When people don't understand Citizens United, you should go check out How the World Works.

01:16:02.000 Lee Dorn did a great video on it.

01:16:03.000 It's not about giant PACs and corporate money.

01:16:07.000 We've talked about the giant influence that unions have.

01:16:09.000 And nobody wants to talk about that.

01:16:12.000 What it was with Citizens United was about a...

01:16:15.000 A group of people who made a film that was anti-Hillary.

01:16:17.000 I think it was called Hillary the Movie or Clinton the Movie.

01:16:19.000 And basically certain people in the government wanted to shut it down.

01:16:22.000 And the Supreme Court ruled, you know what?

01:16:25.000 Groups of people, corporations, are still entitled to their First Amendment rights.

01:16:29.000 Still have the right to express freedom of speech.

01:16:31.000 So if you want to do – now there are ways with finance reform, campaign finance reform, there are ways to fix some of the problems there.

01:16:38.000 I agree with you.

01:16:40.000 But to do it with Citizens United is to basically say that, you know what, because we don't like corporate influences in elections, we want to give that right to the federal government to determine who can and who cannot have a voice. 0.68

01:16:52.000 And this is something that's so important You know, I get the sense that a lot of conservatives, a lot of people on the right, and I understand it, have seen so many executive actions, have seen so much authoritarianism coming from the left, from Barack Obama, that they're at this point, I mean, you'll read it, they just say, just screw them. 0.98

01:17:07.000 Just screw them. 0.99

01:17:08.000 Don't be a cuck-servative. 1.00

01:17:09.000 Screw them. 0.99

01:17:09.000 Let's just put in our own guy who's going to do this. 0.99

01:17:11.000 Let's put in our own guy who's going to do all of his executive orders.

01:17:15.000 That is scary to me.

01:17:16.000 And the reason it's scary is because having been selectively – I guess you could use not the term prosecuted legally, but having been selectively targeted politically – this has happened in the past, be it financially or not having your day in court.

01:17:31.000 A lot of people have had this.

01:17:32.000 A lot of people have experienced this.

01:17:34.000 Anyone works for a conservative nonprofit under the Obama administration.

01:17:38.000 Your reaction should be – Such mortification.

01:17:43.000 It is so terrifying that you don't want to see that happen.

01:17:46.000 Because whether it's Barack Obama or Donald Trump, all it takes is the guy you don't like coming in next and having that power.

01:17:54.000 So if you give, whether it's Donald Trump, I don't really think Ted Cruz would do it.

01:17:58.000 I don't know about Rubio.

01:17:59.000 I don't think Ben Carson would do it.

01:18:00.000 But if you want to give Trump all that authority because you just want to screw Barack Obama, well, guess what?

01:18:05.000 What if he's a one-term president?

01:18:07.000 And now you've set a precedent. 0.99

01:18:08.000 And the guy who comes in does all of the crap you don't want to see. 0.96

01:18:12.000 And you're on the wrong side of that. 0.98

01:18:14.000 So it is important to realize that at any point, if this has been turned, if selective prosecution of the law, censorship of speech has been used by the government on either side, even if you like the enemies on that list, even if you like the fact that those people are targeted, those are the kinds of people you want to see targeted, even if it's giant, fat, disgusting Tess Holliday, Pudding, oozing from her pores.

01:18:39.000 And you're saying, yeah, I like seeing her targeted, but they can target you next.

01:18:43.000 That is important, and that is something that I hope everybody realizes, because that pendulum swings both ways.

01:18:50.000 Something I think that's really funny, too, we talk about these taxes, and we talk about taxing the wealthy 1%.

01:18:55.000 I think a lot of people out there just aren't even aware of basic economics, aren't even aware of, you know, when I talk about this with our audience, we'll talk about supply-side economics.

01:19:04.000 And, of course, you know, Paul Krugman has sort of tried to already debunk that, and you talk about why that's inaccurate.

01:19:08.000 But you realize a lot of people, I'm sure Nat Gay Jared understands this, in a generation, haven't even gotten that far down to the branch of the debate.

01:19:15.000 So if I say, for example, like the Laffer curve, does that mean anything to you?

01:19:20.000 It does only because of our previous conversations, though.

01:19:22.000 So there are people out there who don't know the Laffer curve, and Paul Krugman debunked it by acknowledging it.

01:19:27.000 Now, Paul Krugman is just, at New York Times, is the ultimate straw man builder so he can destroy it, right?

01:19:33.000 Some people, they try and say conservatives simplify the Laffer curve.

01:19:36.000 Two is from Art Laffer.

01:19:37.000 Right about some things, wrong about some things.

01:19:41.000 Leftists try and simplify it to, oh well, people just believe that all tax cuts pay for themselves.

01:19:46.000 No, here's a Laffer curve, okay?

01:19:47.000 Let me kind of give you an idea.

01:19:48.000 If you tax people at 0%, government revenue will be 0%, right?

01:19:53.000 But if you tax people at 100%, government revenue will be 0%.

01:19:56.000 Somewhere between there is an ideal point of taxing.

01:20:04.000 If you go past that point, there's a point of diminishing returns.

01:20:08.000 Now, depending on who you ask and depending on what the GDP is, depending on the current economic climate in the country, that can vary.

01:20:13.000 Somewhere between 30 to, I think, some people will cite 70% as far as highest marginal tax rates.

01:20:18.000 Now, here's the point, though, too.

01:20:21.000 Then it comes down to a moral issue.

01:20:23.000 Let's say you tax people at 30%.

01:20:26.000 And you get X amount of government revenue.

01:20:28.000 Well, let's say you see a 2.5% increase in government revenue if you increase that tax to 70%.

01:20:33.000 Is that worth the moral reprehensibility of taxing people at 70%?

01:20:38.000 Great example, too, is Hauser's Law.

01:20:40.000 Do you know about that?

01:20:41.000 I do not.

01:20:42.000 Or Hauser's Law.

01:20:43.000 Hauser's or Hauser's.

01:20:44.000 I've heard of it, but I've never dug into it.

01:20:46.000 I don't know, depending on who you talk to.

01:20:47.000 That's another example.

01:20:48.000 It doesn't really matter what the tax rates are.

01:20:50.000 Government revenue...

01:20:52.000 Hovers around 19%.

01:20:53.000 And even when you look at tax revenue as high as 90%, although no one actually paid that.

01:20:59.000 We've talked about that in previous episodes.

01:20:59.000 Don't believe that myth.

01:21:01.000 If you're watching this in a live stream, subscribe on iTunes or SoundCloud to take this on the go.

01:21:05.000 It's not true.

01:21:05.000 People do not pay the 90% tax rate under FDR. It still hovers between 18 and 21 percent.

01:21:12.000 No matter what you tax people, that's how there's a lot.

01:21:15.000 And there's no escaping it.

01:21:16.000 Now, some people might say, well, actually, that's not true, because when we tax people at 70 percent, the revenue actually went up to 19.5 percent as opposed to 18.1.

01:21:26.000 There's a point of diminishing returns that people need to understand.

01:21:29.000 I hate to get wonky, I hate to get dry on the economics with you, but I think a lot of people, we have a lot of listeners who are younger, don't understand that it is not a linear equation.

01:21:38.000 Tax people more, you get this much more revenue.

01:21:40.000 No, you tax people more.

01:21:41.000 A good example is Bernie Sanders, right?

01:21:43.000 Everyone says, well, there won't be any tax raises at all until you're earning $250,000.

01:21:47.000 Well, that's not true.

01:21:49.000 You have a 2.5% mandatory insurance premium.

01:21:52.000 And we've eliminated...

01:21:54.000 Let me use this as an example.

01:21:55.000 Jared, do you know what happens when you sleep?

01:21:58.000 Sorry, about like REM and all that business?

01:22:00.000 Or about memory?

01:22:02.000 Well, memory.

01:22:03.000 When you sleep, a lot of people don't know this.

01:22:05.000 What happens is when you go to sleep, this is how you build your memory.

01:22:09.000 Your mind sorts through new information learned during that day and compares it...

01:22:14.000 These are sound effects.

01:22:15.000 We don't have it on the soundboard.

01:22:18.000 With information you've had.

01:22:20.000 I said, okay, what works?

01:22:21.000 Does this jive?

01:22:22.000 How does this fit in?

01:22:23.000 Let me put that in the memory bank.

01:22:26.000 That's why you don't need to understand every issue.

01:22:28.000 You don't need to know the ins and outs.

01:22:30.000 And that's one thing you'll see a lot with people who try, I guess sort of the pseudo-intellectuals.

01:22:34.000 I talk about these people.

01:22:36.000 They try and drag you into some deep waters.

01:22:38.000 Let's say you have a debate on fracking.

01:22:39.000 They go, well, what do you think about Denton County in the 18th District in Zoensil with Farmer Lawton?

01:22:47.000 What do you think about that?

01:22:48.000 Of course no one's going to know that, right?

01:22:50.000 And so they think they win the argument.

01:22:52.000 Same thing with economics.

01:22:53.000 They'll try and bring up something that happened in, I don't know, some inconsequential country like Barbados with some housing collapse and go, well, you don't know about that, son.

01:22:59.000 You consider yourself educated?

01:23:00.000 Yeah, I do.

01:23:01.000 You don't need to know all those things.

01:23:02.000 What are you about Section 5, Article 8?

01:23:03.000 Have you been keeping up on that one?

01:23:04.000 Have you been keeping up on that one?

01:23:05.000 No.

01:23:06.000 I had that at a show.

01:23:07.000 You were there at my stand-up show.

01:23:08.000 I goes, what have you been doing with Article 5?

01:23:10.000 He goes, have you been staying on top of it?

01:23:11.000 I just looked at him and I said, no.

01:23:13.000 Well, you really should.

01:23:14.000 I said, thank you.

01:23:15.000 Have a nice one.

01:23:16.000 Everyone wants to feel important. 0.72

01:23:17.000 So if they feel like they've got you on something they don't know, and you can feel silly.

01:23:21.000 It used to happen to me when I'd be like, I should know all of these things.

01:23:24.000 You can't.

01:23:24.000 What you need to know are basic fundamentals, just like any sport.

01:23:29.000 Fundamental information, right?

01:23:30.000 Get that in your brain.

01:23:31.000 Read Soul. 1.00

01:23:32.000 Actually, a great book, John Stossel's Myths, Lies, and Downright Stupidity. 0.98

01:23:35.000 An atheist, libertarian, so they're as straight down the middle as you can get.

01:23:40.000 Read these books.

01:23:41.000 Get your basic information, okay?

01:23:43.000 So you have that baseline of information.

01:23:45.000 And when you learn new information, you can contrast it.

01:23:48.000 Same thing, you need to have a worldview.

01:23:49.000 When people say, I don't believe in isms. 0.97

01:23:51.000 It's just silly.

01:23:52.000 Everyone does. 0.58

01:23:53.000 They're lying to themselves.

01:24:14.000 Even if it did, your worldview says that it's still wrong to eliminate competition, to put private businesses out of business, and ensure only one option for healthcare, the government option.

01:24:27.000 So you know it's wrong.

01:24:28.000 You have baseline information to socialize healthcare work, learn about countries like Canada, what's happening in Europe and the collapse in medical research, and then you can piecemeal the new information that comes in.

01:24:39.000 That's the best way to handle it.

01:24:41.000 Have your baseline information and a worldview, and it makes it easier to process some of this stuff, because a lot of the information out there is flat out untrue, and some of it is a little too complex for some of you to understand.

01:24:53.000 Not for me or Ben Shapiro, because, well, listen, we're freaking geniuses.

01:24:57.000 Gosh, we'll come back. 0.89

01:24:59.000 We'll talk more about the Dem debate and, I don't know, trannies. 1.00

01:25:02.000 Stay tuned.

01:25:02.000 Lotta with Crowder.

01:25:03.000 Oh, hey, Loudoun. Loudoun.

01:25:28.000 Didn't see you there.

01:25:29.000 What are you doing?

01:25:29.000 Hell, I'm just relaxing and enjoying my 1978 Goldau, a fine beverage after a fine game of racquetball at the Wimbledon.

01:25:37.000 There's no more quality establishment than the Wimbledon, you know.

01:25:40.000 That sounds fun.

01:25:41.000 I don't really know a whole lot about wine.

01:25:43.000 That's why I go to simplifiedwine.com, or I just call their number.

01:25:47.000 What's that number, Jared?

01:25:48.000 844-297-WINE. Oh, where'd he come from?

01:25:52.000 His voice aggravates me.

01:25:53.000 I have him chained to a caravan.

01:25:55.000 For simpletons like me who don't know a whole lot about wine, just what I like, it makes it easy.

01:26:00.000 I either get to call, go to the website, talk with a sommelier, list what I like, what I don't like, my budget, and can have it shipped directly to my door, or gift wrapped and sent to a friend.

01:26:10.000 It doesn't get any simpler than that.

01:26:12.000 Simplified wine, you say?

01:26:13.000 I prefer more of a barrier to entry. 1.00

01:26:16.000 I know you do, Lyle, but you're an elitist bastard. 0.98

01:26:18.000 That's why for simpletons like me, I prefer simplifiedwine.com or just calling 844-297-WINE. And now time for Gentle Insults with Dr. 0.99

01:26:32.000 Ben Carson.

01:26:34.000 Well, you see, Mr.

01:26:35.000 Blitzer, I understand why one can maybe feel that way, but I think if you take my comments in context as a neurosurgeon, you'll see that I was looking at it objectively.

01:26:46.000 Just like I believe if someone were to look at your match on Celebrity Jeopardy objectively, it would not be dissimilar to an incident of rape in an alleyway the way that Andy Richter handled you on an intellectual level.

01:27:02.000 And I think the sort of demagoguery can go either way, and I don't think it's conducive toward a better dialogue, considering that in the figurative sense, you were sexually assaulted on Celebrity Jeopardy.

01:27:15.000 This has been Gentle Insults with Dr.

01:27:18.000 Ben Carson.

01:27:19.000 Ben Carson.

01:27:49.000 All right, glad to bring on our next guest.

01:27:54.000 Do we have him on not gay, Jerry? 0.97

01:27:55.000 I think he's there.

01:27:56.000 I think he's there.

01:27:56.000 Okay, we have him here.

01:27:57.000 Obviously, a lot happened this last week in Iowa, so I'm pretty excited to get this exclusive interview with the Iowa caucus coin toss czar, James.

01:28:08.000 Are you with us, James?

01:28:10.000 I am, and thanks for having me on your show, Stephen.

01:28:14.000 Well, we're glad to have you with us, so this must have been a busy week for you.

01:28:19.000 Oh yes, it was very, very busy.

01:28:22.000 It was actually my first time working the Iowa caucus, and I might say it was very exciting.

01:28:29.000 It was very exciting.

01:28:31.000 Would you say it was an overall positive experience?

01:28:33.000 I think so.

01:28:35.000 I think it was very much a festive atmosphere, and I felt like I got to be part of something great.

01:28:43.000 Right.

01:28:45.000 You only worked on the Democratic side, right?

01:28:47.000 Not the Republican side of the Iowa?

01:28:49.000 Okay.

01:28:50.000 So you were working on the Democratic side.

01:28:52.000 And that, explain for the listeners who might not know, that was a very, very close race, correct?

01:28:59.000 Yes.

01:29:00.000 As you know, as you've probably heard in the news, is that it was so close between Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders.

01:29:10.000 It's a hard name.

01:29:12.000 It is a hard name to say.

01:29:15.000 But it was so close that it was too close to call.

01:29:19.000 Okay, so let me ask you this.

01:29:21.000 That's what a lot of people thought.

01:29:22.000 As a matter of fact, Bernie was saying on Twitter that he suspected some things were less than kosher, that things were very close.

01:29:31.000 So how was it finally determined when a race is so close with the Iowa caucus?

01:29:38.000 Well, in a situation like that, you know, the experts, we get together, and we have to look at the race and proceed in a very cautious, Legally binding fashion.

01:29:52.000 And we decided to, you know, flip a coin.

01:29:59.000 So you flipped a coin.

01:30:00.000 That's the legal process that occurs in Iowa.

01:30:03.000 Yes.

01:30:04.000 That is what we do to determine the winner of the caucus.

01:30:09.000 Okay, and coin flipping, this is the legal terminology.

01:30:13.000 I guess I won't spend too much time geeking out over that.

01:30:17.000 So, Bernie and Hillary was determined by a coin toss. 1.00

01:30:21.000 But it was determined by quite a few coin tosses, and I'm sure you've read about this.

01:30:26.000 It seems that Hillary, you've heard this now, Kate Jarrett.

01:30:29.000 I have seen many memes.

01:30:31.000 May have won an abnormal percentage of those coin tosses.

01:30:35.000 In fact, six.

01:30:37.000 Is that not true?

01:30:39.000 That is correct, and I see what you're getting at, but let me explain.

01:30:44.000 I think once you hear the procedure, you can understand how it could have not been botched in any way.

01:30:52.000 The procedure in determining the winner.

01:30:55.000 Maybe that's helpful.

01:30:57.000 Walk me through it.

01:30:58.000 Okay.

01:30:59.000 Well, first, with my right hand, I make a fist, and I take my thumb, and I place it between my index and middle finger.

01:31:09.000 This is to create enough pressure and leverage to place the coin above my thumb so that I can push it up far enough into the air into a flipping motion, okay?

01:31:24.000 I think I see where this is going, but I'll let you finish because I'm hoping it's something different than I'm anticipating.

01:31:31.000 And once the coin is into the air, my fist turns into an open-faced palm Underneath the coin in the air to catch the coin.

01:31:42.000 Once the coin lands into my palm, which is, you know, a very tricky situation, but it landed in my palm every single time, I will place my open-faced palm onto my closed-faced palm on my left hand, on the back of my hand, to reveal the winner.

01:32:05.000 And in this case, it was Tails.

01:32:08.000 And we had assigned the tails to Hillary Clinton, and she won the caucus. 0.98

01:32:14.000 So I was...

01:32:16.000 Okay.

01:32:19.000 That's it.

01:32:20.000 There's nothing beyond that.

01:32:21.000 I thought you were going to...

01:32:22.000 You said a process.

01:32:23.000 That just sounds like a basic coin flip you'd see at a hockey game.

01:32:27.000 Well, you see, at a hockey game, it's very different.

01:32:30.000 They just flip it into the air, let it land on the ice.

01:32:33.000 And the ice is a totally different factor.

01:32:35.000 It is not the same.

01:32:37.000 Would the ice, some level of friction you think would change the outcome?

01:32:42.000 Well, on the ice, it could slide either way.

01:32:45.000 You know, it's not as accurate as my procedure.

01:32:48.000 Okay.

01:32:49.000 What if you get a shaky palm?

01:32:52.000 Well, that is why we tend to not hire people with shaky palms.

01:32:58.000 But in that case, it would go to a retoss.

01:33:02.000 It would go to a retoss.

01:33:03.000 Okay.

01:33:03.000 And did you have any retosses with this problem?

01:33:06.000 Nope.

01:33:07.000 We did.

01:33:08.000 We decided to go best two out of three, and the first three went to tails to Hillary Clinton, and we knew that there was not a chance in hell that that could happen three times in a row.

01:33:22.000 So we decided to go to six, and she won all six.

01:33:27.000 Sorry, you're saying she won all six.

01:33:28.000 All six were two out of three, so six times three, or you did three and then just continued to the six?

01:33:35.000 We just continued to the 6th, and I must say that Lady Luck was shining on Hillary Clinton that night. 0.97

01:33:43.000 Is that what you would, this is again, is this a technical legal term, Lady Luck?

01:33:48.000 Yes, that is a legal term.

01:33:50.000 You don't have to, you know, worry about it.

01:33:53.000 I know, I don't want to get off into the weeds with something that, you know, our listeners may not be able to understand.

01:33:58.000 Can you understand why some people might say that that seems suspicious?

01:34:03.000 I understand how people can say that, but like I said, it was a very technical procedure, and the outcome was the outcome.

01:34:03.000 I understand.

01:34:11.000 Okay.

01:34:14.000 Still, there were a lot of memes with...

01:34:16.000 Are you sure?

01:34:16.000 I mean, what are the chances of it being a prank coin or something like that?

01:34:20.000 I mean, you know, there are a lot of conspiracy theorists out there.

01:34:22.000 It just seems very unlikely.

01:34:24.000 A prank coin?

01:34:26.000 I've never heard of such a thing.

01:34:27.000 What do you mean, a prank coin?

01:34:28.000 Well, it's like a double-sided coin.

01:34:30.000 You know, you throw the coin, it's tails no matter what.

01:34:33.000 I assure you it was not a prank coin.

01:34:35.000 I have it right here in my pocket.

01:34:37.000 Let me retrieve it.

01:34:39.000 And reveal that it is a...

01:34:41.000 not a...

01:34:43.000 Oh.

01:34:45.000 Oh.

01:34:48.000 Uh-oh.

01:34:51.000 James, you still there?

01:34:52.000 Sales on both sides.

01:34:54.000 That sounds like a disaster.

01:34:54.000 Yes, I am.

01:34:56.000 Are you going to be involved with any other primary states?

01:34:58.000 I do not believe so after this.

01:35:01.000 All right.

01:35:02.000 Louder with Crowder.

01:35:03.000 We'll have you back.

01:35:03.000 James, thanks.

01:35:04.000 People, stay tuned after this break.

01:35:06.000 And now it's time for your Dating Advice Minute with Bill Cosby.

01:35:19.000 Thank you.

01:35:20.000 This week's letter comes to me from Russell.

01:35:27.000 From Atlanta, Georgia.

01:35:28.000 He says that he has a problem.

01:35:33.000 We're getting the little Mr.

01:35:37.000 Russell to come out to help the big Mr.

01:35:39.000 Russell.

01:35:41.000 Now, Russell, there's nothing to be embarrassed about.

01:35:45.000 We've all had something like that happen.

01:35:48.000 But sometimes, what do you do?

01:35:50.000 Sometimes it can be diet.

01:35:53.000 Sometimes it can be driven by stress.

01:35:57.000 What you gotta do is get your doctor to give you the pills.

01:36:02.000 This pill's gonna bring little Russell out to play, but then you need another pill for your wife so you can just live into the coffee and you can... 1.00

01:36:10.000 This has been Your Dating Advice Minute with Bill Cosby.

01:36:20.000 Oh, hey, Lyle.

01:36:21.000 Didn't see you there.

01:36:22.000 What are you doing?

01:36:22.000 Oh, I'm just relaxing and enjoying my 1978 Baldo, a fine beverage, after a fine game of racquetball at the Wimbledon.

01:36:30.000 There's no more quality establishment than the Wimbledon, you know.

01:36:33.000 That sounds fun.

01:36:34.000 I don't really know a whole lot about wine.

01:36:36.000 That's why I go to simplifiedwine.com, or I just call their number.

01:36:40.000 What's that number, Jared?

01:36:41.000 844-297-WINE. Oh, where'd he come from?

01:36:45.000 His voice aggravates me.

01:36:47.000 I have him chained to a caravan.

01:36:48.000 For simpletons like me who don't know a whole lot about wine, just what I like, it makes it easy.

01:36:53.000 I either get to call, go to the website, talk with a sommelier, list what I like, what I don't like, my budget, and can have it shipped directly to my door, or gift-wrapped and sent to a friend.

01:37:03.000 It doesn't get any simpler than that.

01:37:05.000 Simplified wine, you say?

01:37:06.000 I prefer more of a barrier to entry. 1.00

01:37:09.000 I know you do, Lyle, but you're an elitist bastard. 0.98

01:37:11.000 That's why for simpletons like me, I prefer simplifiedwine.com or just calling 844-297-WINE. You've found yourself at the junction where worlds meet. 0.99

01:37:24.000 Politics.

01:37:25.000 Civility?

01:37:26.000 How about honesty in this country, folks?

01:37:28.000 Entertainment.

01:37:29.000 I don't like entertainment!

01:37:31.000 And a whole bunch of other stuff.

01:37:34.000 It's about having a healthy body image.

01:37:36.000 If you have a very unhealthy body, you should have a horrible body image.

01:37:39.000 Not a big home improvement market image, right?

01:37:42.000 We are definitely going to get letters.

01:37:44.000 You're listening to Talk Radio's Strangest Animal. 0.97

01:37:48.000 You're a strange animal. 0.95

01:37:50.000 That's what I know. 0.99

01:37:52.000 You're getting louder with Crowder. 0.99

01:37:55.000 But you're a strange animal. 0.88

01:37:57.000 I've got to follow. 0.69

01:38:00.000 Oh, I'm in this speedy test.

01:38:05.000 We're back.

01:38:06.000 Even though I'm back in the third hour.

01:38:10.000 Cough button. 0.81

01:38:13.000 Oh, I forgot this.

01:38:15.000 I need to hold the cough button.

01:38:17.000 And they can still hear you through my mic, so...

01:38:19.000 It's a key detail.

01:38:20.000 It's key!

01:38:20.000 It is.

01:38:22.000 For people watching the live show, of course, producing with me in studio, as always, is Not Gay Jared. 0.96

01:38:27.000 He is not gay. 0.55

01:38:28.000 I've legally fulfilled my obligations, but you can draw your own conclusions. 0.96

01:38:31.000 Not Gay Jared, give him a shot of you there. 1.00

01:38:33.000 Let him see you.

01:38:34.000 For those, uh...

01:38:35.000 Come on.

01:38:37.000 Come on.

01:38:38.000 What you don't know is that that red curtain is covering up Liza Minnelli autographed records.

01:38:45.000 I thought we talked about that with the legal agreements.

01:38:48.000 Okay.

01:38:50.000 Liza Minnelli was part of it?

01:38:51.000 You know I can't keep them at home.

01:38:52.000 That's true.

01:38:55.000 At least you can seal carry.

01:38:56.000 You can protect your Liza Minnelli records from everything.

01:39:01.000 All right.

01:39:03.000 I always forget now, too, that we have the camera going on for our wonderful affiliates doing this terrestrially.

01:39:07.000 So, Dem Debates, but we have Obama visiting...

01:39:11.000 Those Dem Debates.

01:39:12.000 Dem Debates, der.

01:39:21.000 Guilty.

01:39:22.000 So Obama visited a mosque this week and lectured Americans about hate.

01:39:27.000 I have it here up at ladderwithcrader.com.

01:39:29.000 We have the whole speech.

01:39:34.000 Okay.

01:39:34.000 I've been talking about Islam for a long while.

01:39:39.000 This is obviously a political move.

01:39:41.000 Was it the Islamic Society of Baltimore?

01:39:45.000 Something really long and obnoxious like that. 1.00

01:39:47.000 Something long and obnoxious in a crap hole city. 0.99

01:39:50.000 Which? 1.00

01:39:51.000 Crap old city. 1.00

01:39:52.000 Mind you. 1.00

01:39:53.000 Who's running for mayor?

01:39:54.000 Who's running for mayor?

01:39:55.000 Hold on a second.

01:39:56.000 Does anyone out there, you can tweet me, do you know who's running for mayor?

01:40:00.000 Do you know who's running for mayor?

01:40:01.000 I'm going to say DeRay!

01:40:03.000 DeRay.

01:40:05.000 Gay Black Lives Matter DeRay apparently filed the paperwork to run for mayor of Baltimore.

01:40:13.000 Can you imagine? 0.75

01:40:14.000 I don't know what he thinks he can offer that city.

01:40:16.000 I mean, he's going to be just pulverized. 0.98

01:40:20.000 Sexually. 0.91

01:40:21.000 That'll be the first time a city official would have hooves. 1.00

01:40:26.000 That is an evil, evil man.

01:40:30.000 So, have you been to Baltimore? 0.99

01:40:32.000 It looks like someone just vomited a city. 0.99

01:40:33.000 Baltimore is a horrible city. 0.98

01:40:35.000 I have a friend who lives there. 0.92

01:40:37.000 Funnily enough, an Asian friend. 1.00

01:40:39.000 So it's...

01:40:40.000 Well, there's no central...

01:40:41.000 Second generation Asian friend.

01:40:42.000 Well, his parents moved here from Laos.

01:40:45.000 And so, very different culture.

01:40:47.000 Very different moving to the old Baltimore.

01:40:49.000 Good stories.

01:40:49.000 That's...

01:40:50.000 There's no planning. 0.93

01:40:51.000 When you look at it, it's just like, okay, here's a house right next to a 7-Eleven, right next to a hooker den. 0.88

01:40:58.000 There shouldn't be a hooker den right there, but there's a hooker den. 1.00

01:41:01.000 Martin O'Malley is very proud of that. 0.78

01:41:02.000 And Martin O'Malley is wildly proud of it, that he's disarmed his citizenry. 0.94

01:41:06.000 Baltimore is an awful, awful city.

01:41:08.000 I don't want to vilify it. 0.68

01:41:09.000 We probably have a lot of listeners in Baltimore.

01:41:12.000 Get out.

01:41:13.000 Get out to Baltimore.

01:41:14.000 Detroit, Baltimore, Cleveland, St.

01:41:17.000 Renounce it!

01:41:17.000 Louis.

01:41:18.000 Renounce it!

01:41:19.000 These are not places you should be. 0.99

01:41:22.000 And I can hear the alt-right right now going, it's because they're black. 0.99

01:41:24.000 No, it's not because they're black. 0.99

01:41:26.000 It's because of the ideas.

01:41:27.000 It's because of the far-left ideas and the ideology that has run those cities forever.

01:41:32.000 Okay?

01:41:33.000 Welfare programs, more and more money to public schools and unions, a disarmed citizenry.

01:41:40.000 These places are awful.

01:41:42.000 Back to Barack Obama meeting with...

01:41:44.000 I sounded like Obama.

01:41:46.000 The way I said it, it was short.

01:41:48.000 Obama.

01:41:49.000 My brain is tired.

01:41:50.000 As we do it with the video, I've got to be on.

01:41:50.000 This is different.

01:41:52.000 I'm glistening.

01:41:53.000 I look like a 90-year-old catcher's mitt.

01:41:56.000 This is terrible.

01:41:57.000 This is a disaster.

01:41:58.000 Here's the thing. 0.95

01:41:58.000 Obama's talking about Muslims and the hatred from the United States, right? 0.95

01:42:02.000 Now, we need to stop this.

01:42:04.000 Um...

01:42:05.000 I've not heard him talk about the discrimination toward Christians when it deals with bakeries or bed and breakfasts, right, because they don't want to serve people. 1.00

01:42:16.000 Is there something wrong with your beverage?

01:42:17.000 You're looking at it as though you got sick.

01:42:18.000 No, no, it's just brain freeze.

01:42:21.000 Brain freeze?

01:42:21.000 Yeah, it was pretty cold.

01:42:22.000 It came out of the freezer.

01:42:25.000 You don't hear President Obama.

01:42:26.000 He makes it a priority at the Baltimore Islamic Society to talk about Islam and the hate, but he doesn't talk about Germany.

01:42:32.000 He doesn't talk about Jews.

01:42:33.000 Jews face discrimination in the country way more statistically speaking.

01:42:35.000 Well, openly by Muslims. 0.95

01:42:37.000 Yeah, openly by Muslims. 1.00

01:42:38.000 Muslims hate the Jews. 0.99

01:42:40.000 But even in this country, way more discrimination, hate crimes against the old Jews. 0.99

01:42:48.000 Yeah, of course. 0.99

01:42:49.000 Which is why they're so angry when you can't even play a, you know, a damn trumpet the right way. 0.99

01:42:53.000 Am I hearing a beeping? 0.99

01:42:54.000 No, that's in your head, buddy.

01:42:57.000 I'm hearing a beeping.

01:42:58.000 Did I have a stroke?

01:43:00.000 You look like it.

01:43:03.000 I'm hearing a beeping going on.

01:43:04.000 Yeah, let's talk about the Jews. 0.55

01:43:06.000 Let's talk about Christians and their businesses being run out on rails.

01:43:11.000 Why doesn't he ever talk about Germany or Sweden? 0.99

01:43:13.000 Sweden is the rape capital of the West. 0.97

01:43:15.000 All of this is happening. 0.93

01:43:16.000 For the first time, Europe is going, guys, we've got to spend billions here to get these borders up.

01:43:20.000 We can't have this open passing through.

01:43:22.000 We've got to do something about this because it's become a problem.

01:43:25.000 Even the most politically correct countries in Europe have acknowledged there's a problem with it.

01:43:30.000 What about all the covered-up sexual assaults in Germany and Cologne? 0.98

01:43:35.000 Oh, all of that happened because of Muslims. 1.00

01:43:39.000 Well, again, we talked about the transgender situation before, right? 0.96

01:43:43.000 The boy selling Girl Scout cookies.

01:43:45.000 Men who want a Lorena Bobbitt, their Doniger, now competing in the Olympics as females.

01:43:50.000 Well, you don't want to discriminate.

01:43:51.000 You're cruel.

01:43:52.000 Okay, what about the women who have to wrestle Alexander Caroline in a dress? 0.68

01:43:56.000 What about the girls who want to have their slumber party and now have to deal with Nicholas, the Girl Scout?

01:44:05.000 Jasper.

01:44:06.000 Jasper.

01:44:07.000 What about the women who've been sexually assaulted in record numbers, undeniable correlation, all across Europe?

01:44:16.000 Was it a byproduct of their Islamophobia?

01:44:20.000 They had it coming because they didn't wear hijabs. 1.00

01:44:23.000 You have mayors in Germany right now asking parents to have their 10-year-old children wear parkas and funny hats.

01:44:30.000 Again, because the mindset is, in order to be so tolerant of Islam right now, it's the same racism as you see with affirmative action.

01:44:36.000 It's that prejudice of lowered expectations.

01:44:38.000 We don't expect Islamic men to control themselves. 1.00

01:44:42.000 Oh, you weren't wearing a hijab. 1.00

01:44:45.000 And he had an erection. 0.99

01:44:47.000 What was he supposed to do? 1.00

01:44:48.000 Not have sex with you? 0.94

01:44:51.000 I mean, what choice did he have? 1.00

01:44:53.000 You were wearing a turtleneck and jeans, and he wanted to rape you. 1.00

01:45:00.000 Draw your own conclusion, dummy. 1.00

01:45:02.000 What do you think is coming down the pike? 0.97

01:45:04.000 Hint, it hurts.

01:45:08.000 It's not going to be comfortable.

01:45:09.000 My point is, any time you try and act as...

01:45:13.000 We need to prevent the marginalization of this group.

01:45:14.000 You're going to marginalize someone else.

01:45:17.000 And we are at the point where the minority has screamed so loudly.

01:45:20.000 We're talking very, very, less than single digit percentage point here of transgender, of social justice warriors, of angry fat feminists, of other kin, that we are marginalizing everybody else. 0.76

01:45:35.000 Listen, women aren't big fans of having to compete against men. 1.00

01:45:39.000 They're also not big fans of being raped by Muslims in record numbers all across Europe. 0.99

01:45:46.000 Why don't we talk about it? 0.98

01:45:47.000 And then we talk about rape culture here in the United States?

01:45:50.000 The fact that Barack Obama in today's climate decided to stop by the Islamic Society of Baltimore is emblematic of everything that is wrong.

01:45:59.000 It's someone who doesn't want to deal with the real issues.

01:46:02.000 And it's a reason why Trump has had so much popularity, and I acknowledge it, and there's value in that.

01:46:05.000 Someone who's just willing to say, hey, let's call this out, right?

01:46:10.000 That needs to happen.

01:46:11.000 Anytime Barack Obama says something now, you have Donald Trump. 0.99

01:46:14.000 Everything that guy just says is bull****. 0.99

01:46:16.000 And that's good. 0.99

01:46:17.000 I wish it were someone more principled saying it.

01:46:23.000 Obama, has he visited a synagogue?

01:46:26.000 Has he done this?

01:46:27.000 Barack Obama?

01:46:28.000 I don't think Bill Ayers would be a fan of that.

01:46:31.000 He may have driven by one.

01:46:32.000 He may have driven by one.

01:46:33.000 Well, careful with that language when you're talking about an African-American gentleman.

01:46:33.000 In Detroit.

01:46:36.000 Oh, that's true.

01:46:37.000 That's your hate speech. 1.00

01:46:38.000 Jews! 1.00

01:46:39.000 Break yourself, fool! 1.00

01:46:40.000 It's Obama! 1.00

01:46:41.000 Coo-coo-coo-coo-coo-coo! 1.00

01:46:44.000 That's going to become a gif.

01:46:45.000 That's the gif of the show.

01:46:47.000 That's the gif of the show. 0.87

01:46:48.000 Listen, Jews are disproportionately targeted for hate crimes simply because they're Jews.

01:46:52.000 I can't recall Barack Obama lecturing Hollywood for their anti-Christian bias.

01:46:56.000 The whole deal is anytime we see an Islamic terrorist in a film, we're supposed to feel guilty and how unfairly are they represented.

01:47:04.000 I think they're perfectly represented. 0.94

01:47:06.000 As a matter of fact, I want to see more Muslim terrorists in films. 1.00

01:47:08.000 I get so angry. 0.99

01:47:10.000 I don't know about you.

01:47:11.000 Whenever I see a film and it's like, there's this terrorist plot to blow up the White House.

01:47:14.000 Really?

01:47:15.000 Yes.

01:47:16.000 And the terrorist is played by Gerard Butler, part of the Swedish extremist front.

01:47:19.000 And you're like, oh, God.

01:47:21.000 You know, based loosely on a true story.

01:47:23.000 And you look up the true story and it was Farouk Mohammed.

01:47:25.000 Which accent will they have this time?

01:47:28.000 Gerard Butler and Liam Neeson are the worst.

01:47:30.000 I get so upset when Brits talk about how Americans can't do the English accent.

01:47:30.000 Yeah.

01:47:34.000 I go, listen, your best actor, Michael Caine, has never come close.

01:47:37.000 There's only a few, I think, British actors who can really pull off the American accent.

01:47:42.000 Well, I think there's probably a lot more Americans who can pull off the British. 0.97

01:47:45.000 Even the one who does it better, Tom Hardy, it's always kind of the same guy, unless he has the Bane mask.

01:47:50.000 You know who's probably the best?

01:47:52.000 It's Hugh Laurie.

01:47:54.000 Hugh Laurie's pretty good.

01:47:55.000 He's a talented guy, too.

01:47:56.000 He plays the piano.

01:47:57.000 Joel Edgerton's pretty good with it.

01:48:00.000 A lot of people don't know who Joel Edgerton is.

01:48:02.000 I know he is.

01:48:02.000 I'm trying to think.

01:48:03.000 Does he play a Brit in anything?

01:48:03.000 I don't think about...

01:48:06.000 I can't think of him.

01:48:07.000 I can't think of him.

01:48:07.000 I don't think many people even know that he's American.

01:48:12.000 I don't know.

01:48:13.000 We got off track.

01:48:14.000 We got off track.

01:48:14.000 We're talking about Muslims.

01:48:15.000 You picked the wrong week to quit sniffing glue.

01:48:18.000 We need to get back on track talking about the Islamic Society.

01:48:22.000 Tweet me at S. Crowder how you feel about this.

01:48:24.000 Am I just overreacting?

01:48:25.000 I think that with Europe falling and with...

01:48:27.000 Listen, Europe is falling and it's entirely due to Islamic immigration, okay? 1.00

01:48:33.000 And we shouldn't have that problem in the United States because it's not a racial thing.

01:48:36.000 This is the perfect example of being able to say, no, we exclude your ideology.

01:48:39.000 It's not a race because Islam isn't a race.

01:48:41.000 It's an ideology, right? 0.65

01:48:43.000 We can say another ideology is hateful. 1.00

01:48:47.000 Listen, you better bake those gay wedding cakes. 1.00

01:48:49.000 If you're not willing to come here and obey our laws and not rape our women, we don't have time for you. 1.00

01:48:49.000 But we can't say, you know what? 1.00

01:48:55.000 I don't.

01:48:57.000 We're going to bring on Courtney Scoffs after this Raise the Estrogen Level. 1.00

01:49:00.000 Stay tuned.

01:49:01.000 Stay tuned.

01:49:30.000 breaking those on Lauerwef Crowder.

01:49:33.000 I'm Perry Matheson.

01:49:35.000 We again take you to Donald Trump's press conference as he lobs his accusations of foul play at Senator Ted Cruz.

01:49:44.000 Frankly, this is a travesty.

01:49:44.000 Okay, listen.

01:49:46.000 Okay, of justice.

01:49:47.000 Okay, people here in Iowa, right, they want to vote.

01:49:50.000 Okay, I have been better for Iowa, truthfully, than anybody else has ever been for Iowa.

01:49:54.000 I've talked about, okay, how I would be for ethanol subsidies.

01:49:57.000 Okay, listen, Ted Cruz isn't for ethanol subsidies.

01:49:59.000 He doesn't care about the farmer.

01:50:00.000 Listen, I've always been big on corn, okay?

01:50:03.000 We used to have corn on the cob, we'd have cream corn, we'd have corn on spinach, okay?

01:50:06.000 I eat so much corn, they call me the corn-eating machine, is what they call Trump there at the Trump Towers.

01:50:10.000 Ted Cruz doesn't like corn.

01:50:12.000 Okay, I even, we've even heard that Ted Cruz, okay, He doesn't even eat corn.

01:50:18.000 He doesn't eat wheat.

01:50:19.000 Come on.

01:50:20.000 You're going to run for president of the United States, you don't eat corn or wheat?

01:50:24.000 The farmers did not vote for Ted Cruz.

01:50:26.000 This is ill-gotten gain.

01:50:27.000 All of these precincts, frankly, they voted for Ted Cruz.

01:50:30.000 We have reason to believe that they set out a violation of voting policy and they lied to their constituency.

01:50:37.000 This is a foul victory.

01:50:39.000 None of these delegates should be counted for Cruz.

01:50:41.000 Well, if the whole state's been foul play, what about your delegates?

01:50:44.000 Well, we believe that those delegates are legitimate.

01:50:46.000 Okay, we have no reason to believe that there's anything wrong.

01:50:48.000 And, uh, and, and, uh, we should keep them.

01:50:50.000 Well, there you have it.

01:50:51.000 for breaking news on water low crawler i'm parry mathletophan glad to be back and And of course, Not Gay Jared.

01:51:20.000 You can follow him on the Twitter.

01:51:21.000 If you want him off the chopping block, tweet me at SCrowder.

01:51:25.000 Because he is gone.

01:51:27.000 Because we have one of our regular guests, my most brilliant writer, and we don't even have our intro song.

01:51:31.000 So, Not Gay Jared, are you ready? 0.94

01:51:33.000 Give her the intro song. 1.00

01:51:37.000 I can't remember what it is.

01:51:38.000 Oh, well.

01:51:39.000 No, you know exactly what it is.

01:51:42.000 Darth Courtney?

01:51:44.000 Darth Courtney.

01:51:45.000 I think Courtney should sing it.

01:51:46.000 No, no, no.

01:51:47.000 She can't speak until I introduce her.

01:51:49.000 It's the Darth Vader theme song.

01:51:51.000 I keep thinking.

01:51:53.000 That's not it, though.

01:51:55.000 That's not it.

01:51:55.000 Go ahead.

01:51:57.000 Okay, so I want to bring on my next guest.

01:52:00.000 Do it or you're fired.

01:52:01.000 I'm not even joking.

01:52:06.000 Please hire me.

01:52:08.000 I need help.

01:52:10.000 Courtney Kirchhoff is here.

01:52:12.000 I can stop it.

01:52:13.000 It's embarrassing.

01:52:14.000 Courtney, thank you.

01:52:15.000 Look at this with the jacket.

01:52:17.000 I know.

01:52:18.000 It's new.

01:52:18.000 You like it.

01:52:19.000 It is nice.

01:52:20.000 It's feminine.

01:52:20.000 Pink.

01:52:21.000 Upping my girl power.

01:52:23.000 Upping your girl power.

01:52:24.000 So for people who don't know, a lot of the stuff that goes up on the website, Courtney is my senior editor at the site.

01:52:30.000 She writes a lot.

01:52:31.000 She's very intelligent.

01:52:33.000 And you've kind of had a turning point.

01:52:35.000 So with Iowa, let me ask you this, firstly.

01:52:38.000 Do you think Ted Cruz personally sent out the order to tell everyone that Ben Carson, his campaign had been stopped and that they should vote for him instead, and that's why he won?

01:52:51.000 I do not believe that.

01:52:53.000 He was probably way too busy trying to get out as many votes as he could, doing interviews.

01:53:01.000 Those kinds of things don't come from the top.

01:53:03.000 It sounded like it was just volunteers.

01:53:07.000 Who did it?

01:53:08.000 I can't see Ted Cruz sitting there stroking a cat in a chair with wings on it going, you know what we're going to do?

01:53:18.000 We're really going to screw Ben Carson by saying he's canceled his campaign.

01:53:22.000 Do it now.

01:53:23.000 Sneaky.

01:53:24.000 Indeed.

01:53:27.000 I just don't see that.

01:53:29.000 With his...

01:53:29.000 Well, you...

01:53:30.000 Mr.

01:53:30.000 Rogers, with his sweater and his...

01:53:33.000 These are not valid arguments that you don't see it, Courtney.

01:53:37.000 We expect it better from you.

01:53:38.000 What is this?

01:53:39.000 You're supposed to come in and bring us up a notch.

01:53:41.000 I just don't... 0.86

01:53:41.000 Well, I mean, contrast that with Donald Trump, who did compare Ben Carson to a pedophile. 0.86

01:53:48.000 Right. 0.98

01:53:48.000 So Ben Carson, as the pedophile, and Donald Trump saying, oh, Ben Carson, he was so screwed by Ted Cruz. 0.98

01:53:55.000 Well, A few months ago you were comparing him to a child molester. 0.99

01:54:00.000 So wait a second.

01:54:01.000 Not Gay Jerry was at a show with me when I did stand-up and someone came up and just said, you know, I just, I trust Trump.

01:54:06.000 I said, well, why?

01:54:07.000 I just trust him, you little, you know.

01:54:09.000 And I said, okay, but why?

01:54:10.000 That's not an argument.

01:54:11.000 He said, he's the only good man and Ben Carson. 0.99

01:54:13.000 I looked her in the eyes and said, well, Ben Carson has sex with little children. 1.00

01:54:17.000 How dare you? 1.00

01:54:18.000 How could you say that? 1.00

01:54:20.000 I said, he's a pedophile. 0.99

01:54:21.000 That's what Trump said. 0.99

01:54:22.000 That's what Trump said.

01:54:23.000 I don't believe the media.

01:54:26.000 I said, call my wife a bimbo. 1.00

01:54:28.000 Go ahead.

01:54:29.000 Oh, she seems very nice.

01:54:31.000 Yeah, but just call her a bimbo. 1.00

01:54:33.000 Who would do that?

01:54:34.000 Donald Trump did.

01:54:35.000 I don't believe the media!

01:54:38.000 And then she put her dentures in a water jar, which I didn't even know still happened. 0.84

01:54:43.000 But that was what she did.

01:54:44.000 That was probably taking it a little too far.

01:54:46.000 Her?

01:54:48.000 That's your insult to her. 0.99

01:54:49.000 That's ageism.

01:54:50.000 No, it wasn't an insult.

01:54:51.000 She actually carried around with her.

01:54:53.000 It was like a Nalgene bottle for dentures.

01:54:55.000 You're not supposed to say it.

01:54:57.000 That's just gross.

01:54:58.000 Then she drank it.

01:54:58.000 Yeah.

01:54:59.000 I thought, well, that was weird, but I guess there's some kind of a, it's like a Bear Grylls.

01:55:02.000 She was recycling, but maybe she was recycling. 1.00

01:55:06.000 I was talking with, we can come back to this, because I was talking with Not Gay Jared about this.

01:55:10.000 And you liked Trump.

01:55:12.000 At one point I liked Trump.

01:55:14.000 I liked what he was doing, I would say.

01:55:15.000 I was never a supporter of him, but I said, okay, there's some value here.

01:55:18.000 People can go back on the site and see that.

01:55:21.000 But has he...

01:55:23.000 Can you recall any instance where he's gone after Ted Cruz on ideas and not something personal?

01:55:31.000 Oh, no.

01:55:32.000 He has...

01:55:33.000 That they're reaching all the way into the barrel for this, which is just politics.

01:55:40.000 If you get a report from CNN saying that Carson's doing something very unusual and not continuing on the campaign trail, he's going to go back to Florida to get some new clothes.

01:55:50.000 This is politics.

01:55:52.000 So that Trump is using this.

01:55:55.000 Against Cruz?

01:55:56.000 It means he has nothing else to go on.

01:55:58.000 Cruz is Canadian. 1.00

01:55:59.000 Cruz is a nasty guy. 1.00

01:56:01.000 Goldman Sachs. 1.00

01:56:02.000 Nobody likes him.

01:56:03.000 Has he gone after him on anything that he's done in the Senate?

01:56:07.000 No.

01:56:09.000 I can't recall.

01:56:10.000 And you can't either, not Gay Jared?

01:56:13.000 No.

01:56:14.000 I mean, I don't watch, I mean, there's so much, you know, more than watching a lifetime of rallies and stuff, but not on a public, like, broad platform.

01:56:23.000 It really is.

01:56:23.000 I'm searching.

01:56:24.000 I want people, please tweet me at S. Crowder.

01:56:26.000 I just can't remember.

01:56:26.000 The closest thing I know is, you know, he said Ted Cruz was against Amnesty, which he always was.

01:56:31.000 And he said, now he's taking my place and he's copying me.

01:56:34.000 That's the closest thing to politics, which is that's an important thing people need to understand on the amnesty issue.

01:56:39.000 Ted Cruz was always against amnesty.

01:56:41.000 The reason he signed on to that bill is, okay, hold on a second.

01:56:43.000 If this bill is going to go through, we have to at least carve out no amnesty.

01:56:47.000 Sorry, not amnesty.

01:56:49.000 No path to citizenship at all if you came here illegally. 1.00

01:56:53.000 And Donald Trump tried to claim credit for that.

01:56:56.000 That's the closest thing that I know.

01:56:58.000 I'm trying to think if there's anything else where Donald Trump has attacked his ideas.

01:57:01.000 But has he done that with Ben Carson?

01:57:06.000 I don't think so.

01:57:07.000 Do you consider child molestation a public, like a really big political...

01:57:11.000 And the belt.

01:57:11.000 Well, Nambla's influential.

01:57:12.000 They just passed the NRA as the biggest special interest donors.

01:57:18.000 Nambla.

01:57:19.000 No, it's true.

01:57:21.000 You didn't know the age of consent is nine?

01:57:24.000 Sorry, that's Saudi Arabia.

01:57:26.000 Okay, so Courtney.

01:57:28.000 So how do you think this is going to...

01:57:29.000 Okay, we only have a minute.

01:57:29.000 Well, we have...

01:57:30.000 How do you think this is going to play out?

01:57:31.000 Do you think this is going to play in favor for Trump?

01:57:33.000 Or do you think this is going to hurt him?

01:57:34.000 Do you think this is going to hurt Ted Cruz?

01:57:37.000 It's hard to say because people who like Trump still like Trump.

01:57:42.000 I don't know that anything he does is going to change their minds.

01:57:47.000 They're very emotional about him.

01:57:49.000 Whether or not it's going to hurt Ted Cruz, it might, especially as other candidates start dropping out of the race and there are votes to be collected.

01:57:58.000 So I don't know if it's going to hurt Ted Cruz.

01:58:00.000 I hope not.

01:58:00.000 I like Ted Cruz.

01:58:01.000 Yeah, I like him too.

01:58:02.000 And he'll be on the show probably to talk about some of these issues.

01:58:05.000 We're supposed to have Rubio, I think, too.

01:58:06.000 I don't know.

01:58:07.000 I don't book these guests anymore.

01:58:10.000 I don't like doing it.

01:58:11.000 I don't even like it when Courtney's on, and she's on all the time. 0.96

01:58:14.000 We'll be back with Courtney.

01:58:14.000 Alright, we have to go to a break.

01:58:16.000 We'll talk about the first female combatant.

01:58:18.000 For those of you who don't know, it's a pretty funny story.

01:58:21.000 Ladder with Crowder.

01:58:21.000 Stay tuned.

01:58:22.000 We'll be right back.

01:58:52.000 We'll be right back.

01:59:22.000 or higher, find an open area.

01:59:25.000 it's a Stage 6, Whoa, Jared, what are you doing? 0.99

01:59:35.000 Shoot bad guys! 0.98

01:59:36.000 AR-15! 1.00

01:59:36.000 With what? 1.00

01:59:37.000 Where'd you get it?

01:59:38.000 AR-15.com!

01:59:40.000 Oh, there's another one!

01:59:41.000 Kaboom! 0.99

01:59:42.000 Thank God for AR-15.com!

01:59:42.000 Yeah!

01:59:44.000 They have AR-15 and accessories for sale and the best advice there is on the web!

01:59:48.000 Oh no, there's another one!

01:59:50.000 You got him!

01:59:50.000 Kaboom!

01:59:52.000 Yeah!

01:59:52.000 With your what?

01:59:53.000 AR-15!

01:59:54.000 AR-15.com!

01:59:54.000 From where?

01:59:55.000 That's the best place to go and that's the takeaway because this commercial is about to stop!

02:00:02.000 This is my old white guy dance. 0.57

02:00:25.000 For people watching the live stream, this is how the old white people in the old whitish side of my family dance at weddings.

02:00:34.000 For those of you who don't know, little known fact, Not Gay Jared was in the end of the tour with Jason Segel and Jesse Eisenberg.

02:00:42.000 And do it again.

02:00:43.000 You can see him in one scene dancing just like that.

02:00:43.000 Get the camera on you.

02:00:47.000 And I don't know if the director out there, we have a lot of people who work in the entertainment industry who listen to the show.

02:00:53.000 If you're listening or if you're watching this, you should have fired Not Gay Jared as an extra on the spot. 0.99

02:00:59.000 You should have hauled him out in front of the actors and rubbed his nose in the crap. 0.99

02:01:03.000 You just know they had to get to that point. 1.00

02:01:04.000 They'd be like, you serious?

02:01:05.000 We have no other shots we could use.

02:01:07.000 We have no other shots.

02:01:08.000 You literally ruined the film.

02:01:11.000 Really?

02:01:11.000 You're for serious.

02:01:12.000 Can't Rosen roll any other parts?

02:01:14.000 That's fun, though.

02:01:15.000 We are back with our good writer.

02:01:18.000 Courtney Scoffs is where you can find her on Twitter. 1.00

02:01:20.000 We have a tweet actually about you, Courtney, from Dick Morris.

02:01:23.000 Can you show your feet?

02:01:25.000 Those are weird.

02:01:27.000 Can you show your feet?

02:01:29.000 Those are so weird.

02:01:30.000 On the live stream segment.

02:01:31.000 What's funny is I know it's not...

02:01:32.000 How far does your seat recline?

02:01:33.000 I know it's not Dick Morris, but we've had an ongoing joke about Dick Morris liking feet because it's well known.

02:01:39.000 And so someone actually, I think, created an entire account around this just to razz Dick Morris.

02:01:44.000 That's fantastic.

02:01:45.000 It is great, and I respect the guy's troll game.

02:01:47.000 Well done, Dick Morris, but I don't think you'll see Courtney's feet.

02:01:51.000 Courtney, we talked about this with you, your first time on the program, about women being able to enlist in the military in active combat.

02:02:00.000 Well, the first female combatant, first one, you wrote about this at ladderwithcrader.com.

02:02:07.000 What happened?

02:02:08.000 Give us the scoop, darling.

02:02:11.000 Well, she enlisted. 0.89

02:02:12.000 She got so much praise because she was so brave, and she's just breaking through the glass ceiling.

02:02:19.000 And yes, all women.

02:02:20.000 She went through basic training.

02:02:22.000 She signed up as an engineer, went through basic training.

02:02:25.000 For some reason, she was on convalescence for a little while, and then one day later, she was out of there and has yet to report for duty.

02:02:33.000 It's been about...

02:02:36.000 I think it's been about a couple weeks.

02:02:39.000 And it's...

02:02:40.000 I think it's been about a month.

02:02:40.000 Well, no.

02:02:41.000 And after 25 days when you don't report, you're considered...

02:02:44.000 She thought it was going to be fun and she showed up.

02:02:46.000 She's like, where are they going to be in the army? 1.00

02:02:48.000 The price is wrong, bitch. 1.00

02:02:50.000 And that's funny. 1.00

02:02:52.000 Yeah.

02:02:52.000 Do I get to shoot a gun?

02:02:54.000 Because I want to shoot a gun. 0.99

02:02:55.000 I really want to shoot a gun. 0.99

02:02:57.000 Is it... 0.99

02:02:57.000 But is it like... 0.99

02:02:58.000 Does it have like wet because the black is scary?

02:03:00.000 I just find it...

02:03:00.000 Why are you laughing so hard now?

02:03:02.000 She could have gone AWOL. She might be dead.

02:03:02.000 I just...

02:03:06.000 Oh, God.

02:03:07.000 Right, so as I was writing the post, I think...

02:03:10.000 We don't know yet.

02:03:12.000 I hope she's not in a ditch somewhere, but I'm going to make fun of her anyway. 0.93

02:03:15.000 Well, obviously we hope she's not in a ditch, and we honor anyone who serves their country, but...

02:03:21.000 It got to pat you at least like a week.

02:03:23.000 I think Stalker Jim tweeted us, how did they figure out she went AWOL? Did the independent review of the performance of her troop all of a sudden skyrocket?

02:03:32.000 I know this is not indicative and you have plenty of women who don't go AWOL who will do fine, right?

02:03:37.000 And obviously there are outliers.

02:03:39.000 But every now and then you get a story that is just so straight down center plate.

02:03:43.000 I mean, you've got to go with it, right?

02:03:46.000 The first one, it's because people made such a big deal about it.

02:03:51.000 And she's gone.

02:03:53.000 She hit the road, Jack.

02:03:56.000 else are you aware of this maternity leave from military moms yeah Yeah, let's propose. 0.98

02:03:56.000 Something else. 0.98

02:04:06.000 I'm sorry.

02:04:07.000 It's really embarrassing when women start insisting, like, I want maternity leave so that, you know, I want to be in the military, but I also want to have babies. 1.00

02:04:19.000 When you're on, I can just play with the soundboard.

02:04:24.000 Oh, it's embarrassing.

02:04:25.000 Why don't you go back to your home on Whore Island? 1.00

02:04:28.000 It wouldn't be a corny second if that didn't show up at some point.

02:04:31.000 It didn't show up at some point.

02:04:32.000 I feel so bad because I know her parents are tuning in.

02:04:35.000 And imagine that, just being like your daughter has made it.

02:04:36.000 She's put on this nice pink blazer.

02:04:39.000 She's called in.

02:04:40.000 She's done her makeup.

02:04:41.000 She's very pretty.

02:04:42.000 She's just a very elegant woman.

02:04:44.000 And then you tune in and go, my daughter is on this live stream of this popular show.

02:04:48.000 you go back to your home on whore island and that's why we do this show you know what you gotta keep pressing your children reach for the stars reach for the it won't always happen your first time sometimes you have to go back to your home if you aim for the stars at the very least if you miss you'll land on whore island so courtney um yeah maternity leave the thing about the military is it was a perfect microcosm for an apolitical atmosphere and And having entertained the troops several different times, they talked about that a lot. 0.83

02:04:48.000 And the first thing you hear is... 0.83

02:05:18.000 Even, you know, after Barack Obama came in when we were doing these interviews in Guantanamo Bay, I remember them going like, listen, you know, a lot of us, they're not really fans of this guy, but they're not going to tell you because we're not allowed to talk about this.

02:05:28.000 So it was really tough to get them to speak on camera.

02:05:30.000 They had to be politically neutral because this was their commander-in-chief.

02:05:34.000 He's not really our commander-in-chief.

02:05:36.000 That's a term that's sort of, I guess, misappropriate.

02:05:39.000 He's their commander-in-chief.

02:05:41.000 He is effectively the leader of the military, which protects the free world.

02:05:45.000 And so politics were not supposed to be involved.

02:05:47.000 And now we've got the gay, the trans issues, women in there, in combat, maternity leave. 0.98

02:05:54.000 As a woman, Courtney, does this make you feel safer?

02:06:01.000 No.

02:06:02.000 That's not enough.

02:06:04.000 Okay, so when we talked about with Ripto, right, we said the purpose of the military is to kill people and break things.

02:06:13.000 Yes. 0.93

02:06:15.000 Nails not included for the feminists out there. 1.00

02:06:18.000 Breaking a nail is not part of it.

02:06:21.000 No, it doesn't count.

02:06:22.000 And if you want to be in the military, fine. 0.98

02:06:24.000 You need to be able to kill people and break things and do it really well.

02:06:30.000 It is not supposed to be a petri dish for social experiments. 0.96

02:06:36.000 Remember that episode of the Wonder Years where the older brother, who was this butch bully, he couldn't get into the military and he was crying because he had flat feet?

02:06:45.000 Like, you weren't allowed.

02:06:46.000 Oh, you should tell Dick Morris.

02:06:48.000 Is Dick Morris...

02:06:49.000 Well, I don't know.

02:06:50.000 Dick Morris...

02:06:50.000 I think he wants the arch because, you know...

02:06:53.000 Stop it! 0.99

02:06:54.000 You know.

02:06:56.000 But, you know, at that point, they never even considered women for active duty.

02:06:59.000 Or, nope, you wear glasses.

02:06:59.000 It's like, well, you have flat feet.

02:07:00.000 You can't be a pilot.

02:07:01.000 Now it's like...

02:07:03.000 Ah, you're 30-60% weaker than the average male and you can't do the pull-ups or meet the PT requirements. 0.99

02:07:09.000 Sure, we want you.

02:07:10.000 That's a startling change.

02:07:12.000 I don't know about you.

02:07:13.000 For the military, I want a rough, tobacco-chewing, leather-necked hunter who would be shooting something... 1.00

02:07:20.000 Leather-necked, lesbian. 1.00

02:07:23.000 That's the one thing about lesbians. 1.00

02:07:24.000 They're never like the movies. 0.95

02:07:25.000 In the movies, it's like, wow.

02:07:26.000 And then in real life, let's go buy plaid shirts in Orvis.

02:07:29.000 Yeah.

02:07:30.000 Let's talk about that.

02:07:32.000 That drives me crazy.

02:07:33.000 You're a pretty girl.

02:07:34.000 Because you can't find the shirts anymore.

02:07:36.000 I go to look for the shirts.

02:07:37.000 I want a plaid shirt once in a while. 0.99

02:07:39.000 You shave and people think you're a lesbian. 1.00

02:07:41.000 They think you're the older sister from Roseanne.

02:07:43.000 It's been mistaken once or twice.

02:07:45.000 Maybe twice.

02:07:47.000 Yeah, you know, I don't get it.

02:07:48.000 Like, if I were gay, I'd be attracted to, like, Sargon.

02:07:51.000 I wouldn't be attracted to...

02:07:52.000 I mean, if you're a woman, right?

02:07:54.000 You're attracted to men.

02:07:55.000 I am a woman.

02:07:56.000 But if you were attracted to women, it would be because you don't like men.

02:07:58.000 So you'd think you would be attracted to someone like my wife, or my wife would be attracted to someone like you. 1.00

02:08:03.000 Someone feminine. 0.63

02:08:04.000 Yeah.

02:08:06.000 Not Rosie O'Donnell.

02:08:09.000 No.

02:08:10.000 Objectively, as a woman. 0.73

02:08:12.000 Is Rosie O'Donnell...

02:08:13.000 Is there something I'm missing?

02:08:16.000 I don't...

02:08:17.000 See, okay.

02:08:18.000 This is...

02:08:19.000 Maybe we're getting...

02:08:20.000 The only answer is...

02:08:22.000 No, God!

02:08:24.000 No, God, please, no!

02:08:26.000 No!

02:08:28.000 No!

02:08:30.000 You have to let that one play out.

02:08:31.000 Okay, get into it with Rosie.

02:08:33.000 What were you going to say?

02:08:35.000 Well, with lesbians in general, they're nothing like how they're portrayed in film. 1.00

02:08:40.000 These beautiful statuesque models. 1.00

02:08:42.000 Pornography. 1.00

02:08:44.000 Yeah, that's not who lesbians are. 1.00

02:08:46.000 When you see lesbians in real life driving the Subaru Foresters, they're overweight, they're dumpy, they've got really butch, short haircuts, they're unattractive. 1.00

02:08:58.000 And I know that they're all going to come out with knives against me for saying this, but sometimes I think that they're lesbians because they couldn't get them. 0.99

02:09:05.000 There's actually a mailing list.

02:09:06.000 There's a mailing list just for them.

02:09:08.000 We set up a P.O. box.

02:09:12.000 Please send your knives.

02:09:13.000 No, they're not sending their knives.

02:09:16.000 They're going to come after you with knives. 0.83

02:09:17.000 That's no value.

02:09:18.000 They send you anthrax in an envelope.

02:09:20.000 And that's what...

02:09:21.000 Mostly I'm scared if they try to sit on me because they're so big.

02:09:24.000 Well, that's part of their practices.

02:09:26.000 So when it comes to...

02:09:27.000 It hasn't made sense to me, and I actually had explained to me by a conservative pundit who was gay and said, well, once you open the doors, you expand your horizon sexually, then you're able...

02:09:37.000 These norms are broken down.

02:09:39.000 And again, that makes the case that, okay, then there can be no anti-slippery slope argument.

02:09:43.000 You're basically saying you're removing all barometers to attraction and natural human interaction as it relates to sexuality.

02:09:50.000 And so now you're a lesbian who hates men, but you like women who look like men. 1.00

02:09:54.000 Otherwise, it's nonsensical. 0.99

02:09:56.000 Right.

02:10:00.000 And see, that's what's really weird about feminism. 1.00

02:10:02.000 When the feminists are talking about how much they hate men, then they turn around and start looking like men. 1.00

02:10:07.000 So...

02:10:08.000 They've defeated their own argument.

02:10:10.000 But you're a strong woman.

02:10:11.000 You're independent. 0.98

02:10:12.000 You are such an organization Nazi. 0.83

02:10:15.000 I mean, you and my wife are the strongest women I know as far as professional and have your goals and you're driven. 0.88

02:10:22.000 So why does someone like you, what is it that makes you so anti-feminist? 0.99

02:10:27.000 Because people would think you're right in that wheelhouse.

02:10:30.000 No. 0.98

02:10:32.000 Feminists are wimpy. 1.00

02:10:34.000 They... 1.00

02:10:36.000 I guess I don't need feminism. 1.00

02:10:38.000 I don't need modern feminism. 1.00

02:10:41.000 I don't need third wave feminism, because I can do things for myself. 1.00

02:10:44.000 And if a guy says something that I find offensive, I don't go crying about it.

02:10:50.000 I also think some of these women have never had a man say anything complimentary to them, so they don't want other women having compliments from men either.

02:11:01.000 I think that's a dirty little secret of the third wave feminists. 1.00

02:11:05.000 They want to perceive everything as rape culture because no one has ever said to them, you look hot today.

02:11:10.000 This is true.

02:11:12.000 Also, you don't hate wieners.

02:11:14.000 You don't fear them.

02:11:16.000 I know.

02:11:18.000 Are you going to play the Whore Island?

02:11:20.000 Well, no, not yet.

02:11:21.000 We'll play it on the way that you go off.
