On this week's episode of Talk Radio's Strangest animal, host Stephen Crowder is joined by best-selling author Brad Thor and neurosurgeon Gerald Morgan to talk about the recent visit to Cuba by President Barack Obama and what it means for relations between the United States and Cuba. They also discuss the latest in the Ted Cruz and Donald Trump saga, and how it affects the country.
00:01:26.000So we do have, of course, best-selling author Brad Thor will be on, our good friend Gerald Morgan, who teaches on Islam, and you can guess why we'll have him this week.
00:02:31.000So we'll have Brett Doerr, we'll have Joe Morgan, we have Catherine, Sergeant Catherine coming on, because another story not a lot of people talked about got lost in the shuffle.
00:02:39.000The Marines are now requiring mandatory sensitivity training.
00:03:25.000It's going to be the I am Kate to the Republican primary Kardashians.
00:03:30.000And at the end of it, you're just going to want to, I mean, cork your forks like in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels because you will be tempted to just jam them repeatedly into your eyes.
00:05:55.000That's pretty typical of immigrants, legal immigrants.
00:05:57.000So, in trying to pander and create a new victim class with illegal immigrants, you know, they get mad about Trump pointing it out and the wall, or Ted Cruz.
00:06:07.000Both of them have been talking about illegal immigration, by the way, not just Donald Trump.
00:06:10.000But I support both people whenever they talk about it, provided they, you know, present feasible solutions.
00:06:18.000In trying to build up the class of illegal immigrants...
00:06:21.000They throw legal immigrants under the bus.
00:07:22.000The United States, we've been really mean to them.
00:07:25.000Well, what they don't show you are the people in the gulags who've spoken out against communist government who are having pokers jammed into guests.
00:07:33.000What they don't show are the people whose parents were actually jailed or had their instruments taken away because Che Guevara decided that rock music was no longer allowable under a government.
00:07:45.000By the way, Che Guevara, we talk about this, a lot of people wear this stupid little t-shirt, you know, Che Guevara, him, you know, who's about 120 pounds soaking wet in his stupid fringy pubic hair beard that a man should be ashamed of.
00:08:03.000That should be the first sign of a guy who has poor judgment.
00:08:06.000He looked in, he saw the little Taco Bell dog chihuahua fringy pubic hair mustache and beard that makes his face look like your nether regions and said, yeah, this is a good decision.
00:08:17.000People who wear that shirt, the Che Guevara shirt, they don't understand that they might as well be wearing a shirt of Hitler.
00:08:21.000This is a guy who was a revolutionary, motorcycle diaries.
00:09:39.000You could probably take a picture of any president at some point who's waving, and behind them, maybe there's someone in a Che Guevara t-shirt, or maybe if they're in a country, you know, where you find some communist symbolism.
00:09:54.000And not only is it Barack Obama, there's no one in his inner circle of friends saying, Ooh, gosh, you have a communist executioner behind you.
00:10:10.000Barack Obama doesn't think Che Guevara is offensive because he's just like every douchebag you knew in college who smoked mead with his professors and talked about communism's beautiful in theory, man.
00:10:24.000But you think you're going to do that by going in and watching a baseball game with a government who, by all evidence we have, still probably kills people for speaking out against them.
00:10:34.000At the very least, jails them and takes their family away.
00:11:16.000She said, oh, okay, can you scratch that here?
00:11:18.000I'll give you cash she's like no no no no no no no no no you would have thought that she was about to get shot Because she knew, and she told him, if anyone found out that she told him she doesn't get the tips, or that she's getting tips and cash, There's going to be some serious...
00:14:50.000Anyway, the point being, right after Brussels, and we have the tweets up there, they're complaining, oh, really disappointed that the world is way more offended at the Brussels attack than Turkey.
00:15:00.000This is politically incorrect, but let me clue you in as to why people are more offended, why it's, I guess, more alarming when this happens in Brussels than Turkey.
00:16:05.000What it means is that it's not surprising.
00:16:07.000And rather than getting mad at Americans or Europeans for not being as outraged, maybe you should get a little, maybe direct that anger toward the ideology that breeds the rampant, constant, non-stop terrorism throughout the entire Islamic world that has desensitized us to begin with.
00:16:27.000We don't feel as bad about it because you're a country that is largely Muslim.
00:16:32.000Because you're a country, a lot of these countries, you're countries that support Sharia law, or you're countries that treat women as second-class citizens, or you're countries that throw people off rooftops for speaking with a lisp.
00:16:42.000We don't feel as bad about the terrorism because you're an Islamic country.
00:16:46.000The things that we have fought for in government, regardless of terrorism, now I'm not talking about just terrorism, the things that, I don't know, Belgium, France, certainly the United States has fought for in a government, you've constantly resisted.
00:18:08.000I think it's finally being deconstructed a little bit, this myth that the United States brings terrorism on themselves because of them being interventionists abroad.
00:18:17.000Now listen, generally speaking, I'm more non-interventionist.
00:18:23.000I believe in a strong national security, but I believe the first question to ourselves if we go into a country is, is it in the United States' best interest as far as security?
00:20:24.000Maybe sometimes it shouldn't be affordable to everybody.
00:20:26.000They want to sell you that they can control everything.
00:20:30.000And so that flies in the face of the idea that there's evil in this world.
00:20:33.000Let me give you an idea as far as child marriage and rape.
00:20:37.000It's a rampant problem in the Islamic world, namely because Muhammad himself raped a heck out of a six-year-old girl, Aisha, his favorite wife, but he maybe only raped her when she was nine.
00:21:49.000We're really trying to run a positive campaign, and I'm glad to see members of the press coming together as opposed to being just divisive.
00:21:57.000So, uh, you, yes, for the first question.
00:22:46.000I ain't gonna win the cause that you'll run.
00:22:50.000I don't give a hoot about what you think.
00:22:54.000All right, I'm glad to come back with this next guest.
00:22:58.000He's just had horrible luck on Louder with Crowder.
00:23:01.000Not Gay Jared is the single most unprofessional producer in all of radio, and I'm just stuck right now because, for reasons I can't disclose...
00:24:03.000They've been laying into you Not only, obviously, Trump fans and people who, I don't know, they don't like you, but now we have this Brussels this week.
00:24:12.000So you've written a lot about sort of your novels centered around, I guess, sort of national security issues.
00:24:19.000Do you think we're going to wake up here?
00:24:20.000Do you think people are going to wake up?
00:24:21.000Do you think this is going to be the straw that breaks the camel's back?
00:24:51.000And I look to Europe a lot because there's so much happening over there.
00:24:55.000But we don't seem to learn any lessons in this country.
00:24:58.000Whether it's the entitlement state and the failures therein, whether it's terrorism, whether it's the immigration issues they're having over there, it is a big wake-up call.
00:25:21.000Just like Fort Hood was workplace violence for years.
00:25:24.000Well, we did a video on that on Vox, on gun crime, and it was one of the most misleading videos out there.
00:25:29.000You can go see it on YouTube, where they switch graphs from per capita to overall numbers, and it's no longer a comparison.
00:25:36.000And then instead of using countries that are, they say the UN's top ten most developed nations, and all of a sudden Japan isn't in there, or South Korea, and The United States, they just tailor it so it has the highest suicide rate.
00:25:49.000And they were talking about how, look at all these deaths causes.
00:25:53.000And they had AIDS, because apparently that's a big killer.
00:28:49.000But do you think people are at the stage where they're willing to see it as so?
00:28:54.000Or do you think it's just, well, it's workplace violence, it's gun violence.
00:28:57.000Are we still going to put our head in the sand?
00:29:00.000Well, it depends on who you mean by who.
00:29:03.000I mean, if it's the average American citizen, they're not even plugged into the political process.
00:29:07.000I mean, that's one of the funny things, is you and I retweet each other all the time, and I'm looking at your stuff and you're reading mine.
00:29:13.000And I think it was Sean Davis or Ed Morrissey who wrote this great piece about...
00:29:21.000We're so politically active and we know everything that's going on and we know who the candidates are and what the policies are and all this stuff and we think that because this stuff is so important everybody else should be as tuned in as we are and that's not the case so when it comes to terrorism There are some really great men and women in our intelligence agencies and law enforcement and the special operations community, in particular in the military, that are tuned in, that are concerned about this stuff.
00:29:47.000But I think the average American and a lot of the politicians are just out to lunch.
00:29:52.000If we can't even call it Islamic terrorism or terrorism that's driven by the Quran and the Hadith, we're never going to get anywhere.
00:30:02.000I think you're mostly right, but I also think that's what kind of gives me a little bit of hope.
00:30:05.000Like you said, a lot of people aren't plugged in, and I think that the cultural pendulum is swinging the other way, and that even for those people who aren't plugged in, they're calling BS and the multicultural pro-Islam BS. They're not really listening to Hillary Clinton at this point.
00:30:23.000So I think even people who aren't plugged in politically, most people, whereas at one time they were going to jump right on the Islamophobia train, I think you're going to have more people take the default position of, yeah, Islam's a problem.
00:30:36.000Well, you didn't hear Samuel L. Jackson jumping up this time in Brussels saying, I hope it was white guys.
00:30:58.000He didn't get in trouble in his circles, but he got a lot of attention that he wanted it to be white people and he was all, you know, hangdog when it was Muslims.
00:31:19.000It's like somebody kind of shivved Bill Cosby.
00:31:23.000So it goes, it's kind of that loud thing.
00:31:25.000Or it's like Bill Cosby didn't get the pill into the coffee in time and he had to spend the night alone at the bar.
00:31:30.000And then he becomes Samuel L. Jackson's.
00:31:32.000It's like that Viagra commercial for, what was the Italian car for the Fiat, that the guy loses his Viagra out the window and it ends up going into the Fiat thing, except Bill Cosby's all upset because it's Rohypnol.
00:31:44.000Wait, was this commercial for a Fiat or for Viagra?
00:31:48.000No, it was a Fiat commercial for the beef.
00:31:51.000And this old man was about to pop his Viagra in Italy, and this young mistress, and the tab goes out the window and ends up in the gas tank of the Fiat, and it plumps out and gets all sporty and lowered to the ground.
00:32:03.000Wow, that sounds like a terrible commercial.
00:33:05.000It's funny because it is, as a writer, it's very, very solitary.
00:33:10.000I mean, I deal with my publishers, I deal with my editor, and the people at Simon& Schuster are all fantastic, and it runs the gamut, believe it or not, of political ideology.
00:33:21.000So you've got people who are Hillary Clinton supporters, people who are Cruz, Trump supporters, it's all across the board.
00:33:28.000And as far as what other authors are doing, I can think of one right now who is a particularly...
00:33:34.000I'm not going to mention the guy, but you could...
00:33:36.000I mean, the terrorist could come in and wipe out his whole family, and he still wouldn't say, Muslim terrorism.
00:33:41.000So I don't necessarily know that it's had an impact on authors, but in all fairness, there's kind of a key group of guys that I talk to, and they're across the board politically, and There's a lot of that stuff that we just avoid.
00:34:08.000Are you really finicky before you send it to them that everything is or are there still typos or maybe like parentheses aren't perfect or do you make sure it's perfect so the editor has very little work?
00:34:18.000No, I mean, I try to make it as clean as possible when I'm writing it, and then my wife reads it once, and she's an amazing editor.
00:34:25.000So my wife catches a lot before it even gets to my editor in New York.
00:34:29.000So I think my editor gets a very, very clean first draft, and she still catches stuff.
00:34:34.000And then there's a copy editor that goes through with a ruler line by line and still catches more.
00:34:39.000So it's more important for me to get a great, exciting story on the page than to get all the commas right.
00:34:45.000And actually, Stephen, I'm not that good.
00:35:52.000Did you write at Big Hollywood back when it was Big Hollywood?
00:35:55.000I did a couple of things for Big Government, Big Peace, several of the bigs when Andrew was still alive.
00:36:00.000Okay, so a little, yeah, a little bit for that, because the first thing was bighollywood.breitbart.com because someone else was sitting on Big Hollywood, and I remember back then I was there with Adam Baldwin and Shapiro, and it was a grand old time.
00:38:18.000Thank you for being back with us, sir.
00:38:19.000You said you wanted to talk about how politics is downstream from culture.
00:38:23.000Yeah, Andrew Breitbart talked about that a lot.
00:38:26.000And that's why I was talking about how I think regardless of whether people are politically plugged in or not, I think culturally there's been a real swing with Islam.
00:38:35.000And like them or not, I think the Donald Trump phenomenon can be explained by people saying, okay, you know, I'm just going to be offended.
00:38:41.000You want to accuse me of being racist, sexist, homophobic?
00:39:29.000Listen, when Trump first got in the race, and I won't go off on a Trump rant here, I was on TV saying I thought it was an excellent addition to the Republican primary because if it drew people's attention to the Republican platform, that was fantastic.
00:39:45.000So I actually thought, as Trump was telling people he was conservative, that he was going to talk at least about conservative principles in government, so limited government and self-reliance and these kinds of things.
00:40:27.000These things are important to me as an American.
00:40:31.000You follow me on Twitter, like we said in the previous segment, I follow you.
00:40:35.000It's interesting to watch my numbers on Twitter because I don't necessarily think everybody that follows me on Twitter is actually out reading my thrillers, which is very, very interesting.
00:40:46.000I'll find people that I will tweet out something about, hey, my new book is coming out, and people will be like, oh, you're just in it to sell books.
00:40:52.000And I said, oh, sorry, I'm supposed to be here 24-7 entertaining you with snarky and insightful political tweets, but this is actually how I feed my family, is writing thrillers.
00:41:08.000We're making movies in Hollywood and the people we're dealing with have been terrific.
00:41:12.000But there's not a lot of people who are kind of conservatarian where they want limited small government and, you know, the kind of government to fit the realm and be in the sphere that the founders intended and then to stay out of everything else and return power back to the states so that people can be closer to all of those decisions at their state capitol.
00:41:32.000Big thing for me as somebody who's a patriot, but also in the arts, it's a difficult balancing act.
00:41:37.000And could I sell more books if I just shut up?
00:41:39.000You know, if I wasn't out there talking about shrink government, get away from gun control.
00:41:55.000I saw Larry King once in Los Angeles at a cafe, and I swear to you, they pulled him out of, like, a Jim Hansen museum, and he's just held together with wire and string.
00:42:56.000Alright, so the Dead Authors Podcast is hysterical where they do it at the Groundlings Theater in L.A. Oh, my brother told me about this, yeah.
00:43:05.000One of my favorites is they have a comedian playing Ian Fleming, and the whole idea here is that Paul F. Tompkins is H.G. Wells, and he's got his time machine, and he can go back in time and bring authors to this theater in L.A. and interview him.
00:43:19.000And so Ian Fleming won, and then Anne Frank.
00:43:23.000My brother did send me some clips from Anne Frank.
00:44:31.000Okay, so sorry, we were talking about, oh, we only have a minute.
00:44:33.000Okay, so what do you think is, because we only have a minute left, what do you think is the most important thing now as we move forward in election, Islam, it seems like the world is upside down.
00:44:40.000What's the silver lining for Americans out there from someone like you who works in pop culture?
00:44:46.000Well, I'll tell you, I think one of the greatest things we're seeing is now a pushback on political correctness, which is going to make culture and it's going to make things a little bit more fun.
00:44:55.000We don't have to walk on eggshells all the time.
00:44:58.000And whether, you know, we're not Trump guys in our number one draft pick, but there is value there where people say, oh, okay, you don't have to be political.
00:45:03.000I've considered now like running for mayor.
00:45:05.000And if people could say, hey, did you say this horrendously?
00:45:54.000You know, this left-right paradigm that's been fed to the American public, and this pop culture for profit, media-driven entity is designed to keep you in the sand.
00:46:05.000So that you don't focus on what's really mattering to Americans.
00:46:09.000Which Kardashians on which magazine cover with which ass.
00:46:29.000Hey, if you're listening to or watching this podcast, there's a strong chance that you are not yet following me on Twitter, at S. Crowder, where I'm tweeting all day long.
00:46:40.000I'm ticking off the social justice warriors.
00:46:42.000You should see the amount of hate I get on there.
00:46:44.000Far, far, far worse than any Fat Sports Illustrated model or Black Lives Matter charlatan.
00:46:51.000You get to be entertained and you can chime in.
00:46:53.000Also, if you're following me on Twitter, you can send me your tweets and maybe you'll be lucky enough.
00:46:58.000And I mean lucky enough because I have a lot of followers, okay, that they call me the follower machine to have your tweet to me or not Gay Jared included in our rockinest tweet of the week.
00:49:55.000Those same people who send TV dinners out to the African children.
00:50:01.000When I'm polling here, I'm talking about the general, you know, the median IQ. I'm not talking about somebody who gets, you know, potatoes touching his beef and he crusts his eustachian tube.
00:50:11.000Those outsiders, they really throw off the statistics.
00:55:28.000Ted Cruz personally at no point has insulted Donald Trump's third wife, any of his wives, and Donald Trump personally has insulted Ted Cruz's wife.
00:55:38.000So now the goalposts move, and of course they say, well, it's justified because Ted Cruz is lying, and all of these mainstream conservative sites have, they have these conspiracies from, Ted Cruz has had affairs, Anonymous has said that they have evidence of this, but they also threatened to release it if Ted Cruz didn't drop out before Ohio.
00:55:56.000So I'm wondering why they haven't released it yet.
00:55:57.000Then there's the idea that Ted Cruz's wife is a call girl.
00:56:01.000And then there is this idea that Ted Cruz had an affair with Carly Fiorina.
00:56:05.000These are the rumors that are being circulated.
00:56:07.000And it's because Donald Trump said, I will spill.
00:56:09.000I'll better spill the beans at your wife without ever actually backing anything up.
00:56:12.000So instead of spilling beans, he just said, ha ha ha, your wife is ugly.
00:56:41.000I know we're in an age where people on the internet are so impressed with how many women you can sleep with.
00:56:45.000Here's something that should clue you in.
00:56:47.000If someone is really impressed by the number of people you've slept with, it means it's hard for them to get laid.
00:56:53.000It's only impressive because it's hard for them.
00:56:56.000Growing up, you know, I watched my father have women thrown at him, threw themselves at him.
00:57:02.000He's just a good-looking older guy, has always stayed in shape, articulate, successful.
00:57:06.000And I, this is just a personal opinion, I always had great admiration for how loyal he was and how he always honored my mom and wore his wedding ring.
00:57:14.000That was something that, to me, I thought, hey, you know what, it would be really easy.
00:57:17.000Because when I'm a teenager, you know, some attractive women, you're thinking like, oh, that would be hard to resist that.
00:57:22.000I think that's a quality that I like in a man.
00:57:27.000You may say that sleeping with more women is more valuable, but a lot of people giving crap to Ted Cruz, the only woman who could sleep with him, it's called a marital contract.
00:57:35.000I know your guy doesn't believe in them, and he's had three, and he's slept with other people's wives, but are we really at a point where we want to start making fun of a guy for being married?
00:57:46.000I just don't know why this is happening on the conservative right.
00:57:50.000I'm dumbfounded that the thrice-married, serial, philandering adulterer who owns strip clubs has convinced the Christian right that he's one of them with a verse from 2 Corinthians.
01:02:23.000Someone tweeted me, Barwon Scorpio, you seem to think that Ted Cruz punching out Trump in the back room over his wife would kill his presidential run.
01:04:11.000A lot of Christians, too, they say, well, you know, I believe in freedom of speech and I believe in a lot of young Christians are pro-life, but it seems like Republicans don't want to help the poor and the sickest among us.
01:04:21.000And she talked about her parents having to pay $4,000 for her in an emergency room.
01:04:25.000I'm sorry that you were in an emergency room, Kathleen.
01:06:11.000Don't buy that wholesale, this idea that if people don't want to give you stuff, they're somehow mean.
01:06:15.000That would mean that every single parent who doesn't give their children the things they want is a mean, abusive parent, and I don't buy it.
01:06:22.000Sometimes a parent gives you a cookie if you've been good.
01:06:24.000Sometimes a parent gives you a wooden spoon on your posterior.
01:06:37.000Yeah, because they try to equate the two.
01:06:38.000They try to kind of just bridge the gap between politics and their political views and their Christian thoughts and values.
01:06:44.000And they kind of just think the nice party, the party that's deemed as nice and charitable, must be kind of trying to fit it together with Christianity.
01:07:22.000He was on this show when we asked about the drug issue, and he said that should be left to the states.
01:07:25.000He thought the Supreme Court ruling on marriage was a problem and that states should have the right to determine marriage within their borders.
01:07:32.000So he's a guy who is a Christian, but he's a true federalist.
01:07:38.000I think Rand Paul is actually pretty devoutly a faithful person, but he also doesn't believe that he has the right to tell someone what they can and can't put in their body.
01:07:50.000I'll still talk about drugs not being good for you, but I also don't believe it's my right to tell someone in Colorado that they can't smoke up from a former KFC joint.
01:08:00.000So, hopefully I answered your question.
01:13:20.000And I... I hear sensitivity training because of women, and I think, wow, it just reminds me of, I don't know if you, you have a brother growing up, you have a sibling, and you don't want to, you know, play with them or include them, like you have a friend over, and then your parents make you, and there's this resentment.
01:13:44.000And there already is some resentment, you know, of women.
01:14:15.000And, yeah, I... So it seems to me that if someone would want this training, right, this is being designed for people like you, smaller women who might have some trepidation saying, ooh, I don't know if she can carry that heavy gear, and they're trying to tell the guys, no, no, no, no, no, you can't think that way.
01:14:32.000It seems like it's designed for when men walk through those doors, expect a leather-necked tobacco-chewing dude with a crew cut, and they see you.
01:15:02.000I mean, you know where I stand before on the whole women in combat thing.
01:15:08.000For people who are not listening, she's not very pro-women at the front lines in combat, despite being a female sergeant.
01:15:13.000For those tuning in for the first time.
01:15:16.000No, I was actually on a female engagement team, and in a combat environment and situations, even though it technically wasn't on the front lines, I was in direct support of an infantry unit.
01:15:34.000And it's more than the physical, it's more the dynamic between men and women.
01:17:06.000With that, you get more maturity, and the younger Marines, they fall easier into starting up maybe a relationship or something, which is totally not allowed.
01:17:18.000No, well, it's not allowed even in your basic office place at the coffee machine, but sometimes people are still getting busy by the coffee machine.
01:18:19.000No, it just doesn't seem like a good idea.
01:18:21.000And I was just wondering what people, how men want to make sense of this.
01:18:24.000And it seemed like when I was there, when I entertained the troops, it's been a while now, I haven't done it in a while, they actually weren't even allowed to comment on the president, anything political.
01:18:34.000They said, well, you know what, we're not really supposed to even have an opinion on that.
01:19:08.000It's designed for the smaller woman to tell men, hey, you need to treat them in a way that is respectful and just the same as you would treat any guy.
01:19:15.000Okay, but they're going to do less push-ups and pull-ups.
01:19:33.000The military was meant to be a microcosm of a world without politics, certainly without gender identity politics, where you went in and you got the job done.
01:20:33.000Do you see this as a kind of the macro movement here?
01:20:36.000Of a way of kind of the progressive movement, trying to kind of infiltrate the military in the same way that they've infiltrated the education system, that teachers are coming out, you know, consistently more and more and farther to the left, that our students and stuff are coming out farther to the left.
01:21:19.000They want you to put your children in public school.
01:21:22.000They want the mom to go to work so that you can put the kid in daycare, which should also be publicly funded, according to people like Bernie Sanders and Hillary.
01:21:29.000So they want public schools, the mom working, public daycare, and then free college.
01:21:33.000And if it's not free, either way, you go to college, obviously everyone knows where they lean politically.
01:21:36.000You go into college where it's nothing but leftist professors.
01:21:40.000We wrote about that professor, I think, was it at Dartmouth?
01:21:42.000Peter Singer, who was arguing for bestiality and infanticide.
01:21:46.000This is the kind of stuff they're teaching at your school.
01:21:48.000By the way, professors will fail students for giving the wrong opinion.
01:21:51.000Public school, public daycare, public college, and then hopefully they get them into a job in the social sector, social work, working for the government, or working for a union.
01:22:00.000If you do that, people are bombarded with the same opinion always.
01:22:03.000The one area where they lose control a little bit is the military.
01:22:07.000Like you said, people tend to come out of there more conservative.
01:22:09.000It's just the nature of the beast, right?
01:22:26.000Well, I guess the whole gender thing, the transgender thing doesn't really matter in the military because they're just tossing them into joined groups.
01:22:38.000It was an event once they merged the classes, and every guy was self-conscious because they put you in those little shorts and you have your thigh hair, and the women are taller than you at that point, and they're beating the tar out of the guys in the 8th grade.
01:22:51.000Men's and women's basketball, men's and women's MMA and all that kind of stuff, but we want to put them on the same playing field for the front lines of the country there, so...
01:24:06.000You want to know who I want in the military?
01:24:08.000I want a redneck, leather-faced, tobacco-chewing deer hunter who would be out there shooting something anyway, only you've replaced his hunting rifle with an M16 and that deer with a terrorist and given him a license to kill.
01:24:23.000Those are the people I want out there.
01:24:25.000Those are the people who are useful in the military.
01:24:27.000I don't want a blue-haired, unshaven feminist out there who's going to be looking for a lawsuit so she can make said skull-dipping redneck uncomfortable.
01:24:38.000I don't think it has a place in the military.
01:25:29.000Cosby, I have recently immigrated to Sweden, but I find myself without a woman.
01:25:37.000There's a woman that I really want to take, but the only way I can have the relations with me As if I take it into my own hands and she is not necessarily a willing participant in the baloney bop boop bop!
01:28:41.000Leonardo DiCaprio is claiming that Republicans are anti-science.
01:28:44.000By the way, I'm sure the 30,000 scientists, several thousand of whom were climate scientists, were actually atmospheric scientists, which means I think the number we did the math was over 30 percent of atmospheric scientists proactively signed a petition saying not global warming, climate change was a fraud.
01:29:01.000That assumes that all of them are anti-science, right?
01:29:25.000Leonardo DiCaprio, I will admit that Republicans are anti-science and say that you are much more of a scientific man the moment you admit that biological sex is binary.
01:29:51.000These people are telling you that if you slap on some rubber breasts and walk on into the women's room, you don't even have to do the bottom half.
01:34:28.000There have been reports of human beings bringing pet cats into their household and as a result have experienced urinating and defecation in an unsanitary box, scratches, biting, and overall general dickish treatment towards their human counterparts.
01:37:39.000So I think the thing that frustrated me the most is that I honestly thought to myself, go back to any of the conversations that we have had, that we have recorded, and just play that one again, and it'll explain it.
01:38:01.000Like, it's almost like it's the same kind of syndrome that drives Trump people.
01:38:06.000Nothing's going to make you change your mind about these people.
01:38:09.000No matter what they do, they can blow up every single airport, every single school, every single plane, and you're still going to go, meh, religion and peace.
01:38:27.000I was talking about this with Brad Thor.
01:38:29.000I feel like there's been a shift, though, that most people now, in the general populace, there are more people now who are willing to address Islam for the problem that it is.
01:38:37.000You don't see the pendulum swinging that way?
01:38:40.000I see fanatics on the other side winning arguments, and that scares me just as much.
01:39:32.000Well, radicalized meaning that if you draw concentric circles out, the people that would actually carry out a terrorist attack, and then you go one more circle out that says maybe they're not willing to act, but they approve of that.
01:39:44.000Okay, because it's hundreds of millions who support Sharia law.
01:39:47.000Okay, so 50 million of people who are basically ISIS sympathizers.
01:39:53.000Yeah, when they see the attacks, they're like, I didn't do it, but yeah, get them.
01:40:23.000Well, I mean, that's the scary part to me.
01:40:25.000You and I, we understand when other people are right.
01:40:29.000When somebody says something that's actually correct that we disagree with typically, we're willing to say, yeah, hey, wait a minute, you can't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
01:40:36.000These guys are actually right on this.
01:40:38.000I hate everything else they say, but on this point they're correct.
01:40:41.000And I think that's what we're doing with Islam.
01:41:25.000Post 9-11, when we started allowing the NSA and the FBI and the CIA and those guys to have a lot more freedom, they needed more, but they didn't need as much as they got.
01:41:36.000They started taking away freedoms that we should never have given up.
01:41:40.000I don't know the official organization in Belgium, but from my understanding, I mean, this happened at an airport.
01:41:44.000This happened where we've taken every single precaution, not only nationally, but internationally, to ensure that it doesn't happen.
01:41:51.000It didn't happen at a Greyhound bus station in Flint, you know, where people were a little loopy from drinking some water in the port-a-potty.
01:41:58.000It happened at the airport in Brussels, the metro station.
01:42:03.000These are heavily secured areas, so...
01:46:04.000I think you did a video on that, right?
01:46:06.000We did do a video on the UAE. Morocco, I guess, is kind of inconsequential, but there's still a lot of stuff.
01:46:13.000Listen, if you're going to hold the standard that you hold for Republicans in the United States when you accuse them of hate speech, let's just hold it to that same standard.
01:46:20.000By that standard, Morocco is filled with Nazis.
01:47:41.000I have a Wall Street Journal poll right here.
01:47:43.000Well, no, the newest poll is Quinnipediac.
01:47:47.000No, Wall Street Journal has actually been running a live poll while doing this conference, and now 97.6% of Americans think that you are in fact a piece of s**t.
01:48:40.000You get to be entertained and you can chime in.
01:48:42.000Also, if you're following me on Twitter, you can send me your tweets and maybe you'll be lucky enough.
01:48:47.000And I mean lucky enough because I have a lot of followers, okay, that they call me the follower machine to have your tweet to me or not gay, Jared, included in our rockinest tweet of the week.
01:48:58.000So follow me on Twitter at S. Crowder.
01:49:00.000If not, I don't want to say I have sights on your mother, but...
01:49:44.000Larry Sanders was a monumentally influential show on American television.
01:49:49.000If you liked The Office, if you liked Curb Your Enthusiasm, Parks and Rec, any of those single-camera sitcoms, You owe a lot to Gary Shandling, and I always thought he was funny.
01:49:57.000He was a big influence on me as a child, and one of the few people I could listen to.
01:51:46.000There were more church burnings than there.
01:51:47.000There were mostly Bibles that were being burned to make sure.
01:51:49.000Why do you – because you've heard this, right?
01:51:52.000I mean, they point – I wonder if they point to Indonesia because Barack Obama was raised there and so they feel the need to whitewash it.
01:51:57.000But you've taught, obviously, on Islam and kind of comparing to Christianity.
01:52:03.000I've certainly encountered it in politics.
01:52:05.000I don't know if you've encountered it where, you know, in your milieu, people have always pointed to Indonesia as an example for moderate Islam.
01:52:12.000When I say, name me one, invariably it comes back, for a while they tried to argue UAE, or Egypt, or Turkey, and not so much anymore, and now they always say Indonesia, Malaysia, or Morocco.
01:53:15.000So I spent just a little bit of time there, and Malaysia is one of those countries that says it's Islamic or Muslim, but isn't practicing it quite as much.
01:53:27.000It's more of a cultural thing than it is a religious thing, and that's where you really have to draw the line.
01:53:32.000There are tons of countries out there that say that they're Christian, you know, United States, and we don't act like it for the most part.
01:53:38.000Most people don't know what that means.
01:53:39.000So you could tell them something from the book of Psalms, and they'd be like, yeah, I agree with that.
01:53:43.000You're like, that's not in the Bible at all.
01:55:04.000The further you travel east, I'm sorry, west in Indonesia, so the island of Sumatra, You're going to get more kind of fanatical kind of people there.
01:55:12.000The more that you kind of travel to the east a little bit, it gets a little less, a little less, a little less, and then way east is almost like Christian.
01:56:07.000Yeah, so you get a little bit more traditional Islam and the southern tip of the island of Sumatra, then head a little bit more east, still traditional.
01:56:16.000But the further east you get, it actually, yeah, stop it.
01:56:20.000It starts to get a little bit more actually Protestant Catholicisms in there.
01:57:31.000It's a fully accredited private online school, no Common Core, and absolutely no government funding whatsoever.
01:57:38.000All the classes are taught live online, kindergarten through high school, with real teachers based around the country.
01:57:43.000So through Freedom Project's classical curriculum, students master the basics like math, English, history, science, alongside some more commonly neglected courses like logic.
01:57:51.000You're not getting that in a lot of schools.
01:57:52.000Economics, American Studies, and Latin, all of which foster the long-lost art of critical thinking and create leaders for tomorrow.
01:57:58.000All classes are recorded to be viewed 24-7, and you can get your very own sneak peek of any class or professor at fpeusa.org.
01:58:05.000Open enrollment runs March through July, but classes always fill up fast.
01:58:10.000Now, do you have your GED equivalency, Jared?
01:58:45.000I was walking to my friend's house, and I fell on the sidewalk, and there was this guy there, and I accidentally fell in the sky, and his penis went inside of me, and so I got pregnant, and this mean Republican in my state wouldn't let me get a late-term abortion, and so now I'm pregnant, and I need you to pay for it!
01:59:08.000In a Bernie Sanders presidency, these Americans will be heard, and Bernie Sanders will help them.
02:01:07.000If you don't pose naked every day, you forget it and you kind of have to pick it back up.
02:01:12.000It's a perishable skill, like anything else.
02:01:14.000So we were talking about Indonesia before we went...
02:01:18.000So let's come back to Islam, not only Indonesia.
02:01:21.000I mean, what would be, before we go to Europe here, because I want to get to that, what would be the single most moderate Islamic country, Gerald?
02:01:39.000You want to look for one that's probably more economically viable, not oil-based, but just overall economics are pretty good, because then people tend to run away from these exclusive ideologies that lead to terror.
02:01:55.000A Vietnam or a China or something like that, and we had to fight with communism.
02:01:59.000Of course, communism still reigns in some of those places, but as economics go in and start to change the country, the country starts to change because they're like, wait a minute, this is stupid.
02:02:07.000Are you trying to push this business that if you just give terrorists jobs, they'll stop losing?
02:02:19.000It doesn't build roads out in the desert.
02:02:22.000I don't think that that's true at all.
02:02:24.000I think the point there is that people with a lot of time on their hands typically do stupid things, and I understand that's a valid point.
02:03:26.000I'm glad that Europe kind of hates the United States.
02:03:29.000I feel like we're at a point right now, kind of like I've been vindicated on Johnny Depp, where the United States has been vindicated.
02:03:35.000Where we say, no, it's not really about our interventionism.
02:03:38.000These people want to kill you regardless.
02:03:39.000And they go, no, no, no, we're going to be tolerant.
02:03:42.000We don't think that's going to work out.
02:03:44.000And everyone said they hated us, that we were arrogant, that we were trying to be too strong, and that if we weren't involved in these countries, like them, they would be safe.
02:03:51.000And now Europe has a much bigger terrorism problem than the United States.
02:03:55.000Do you think we're at a point where it's like, okay, we've seen what happens.
02:04:02.000We are in an unfortunate position of having to say, I told you so.
02:04:07.000I don't think anybody wants to be in the position of seeing somebody else make the wrong choice there, but you've seen over and over again in France, in England, obviously we've seen stuff all over the place.
02:04:26.000So a lot of places have just said, you know, let's be nice, let's be accommodating, and there's a certain amount of that that's okay, but the problem is that if you don't recognize that there is a legitimate enemy that wants to see you destroyed, you can never react appropriately to that.
02:04:45.000And by saying that every person that comes in deserves an equal chance at having citizenship or having some rights in your country, it's just not the way things should or really will work out in the real world.
02:04:58.000In fact, you're gonna see more and more and more of this stuff happen Over there, we happen to have a little bit of distance, and that helps us a lot.
02:05:06.000But at the same time, when we say things like, yeah, we want to take in 10,000, 15,000, whatever the numbers are of these people who are refugees, and my heart goes out to them.
02:05:15.000But at the same time, you have to make sure that you protect the people that are citizens of your country in Europe and here.
02:05:21.000Well, even on CNN, they were talking about now leftist CNN is saying, here's why Europe has a bigger terrorism problem than the United States.
02:05:59.000Maybe she was always there and she just didn't tell us.
02:06:01.000But, you know, build the wall and that's it.
02:06:04.000She's a single voter or single issue voter.
02:06:06.000I'm more worried about somebody coming across the border, as porous as it is, with some kind of explosive, some kind of weapons to be able to fund a cell, basically, or to arm a cell, than I am about somebody coming across and taking a job.
02:06:21.000I get that that's an important issue as well, but they just don't rank as the same priority for me.
02:06:26.000And so I do want border security, and I think it takes care of both issues.
02:06:30.000But my main concern is not being blown up.
02:09:15.000I mean, it really has no bearing on the situation.
02:09:17.000You have to deal with the reality that you're faced with.
02:09:20.000And the reality is that there are a lot of people, not every Muslim person feels this way, but I would argue it's because they haven't read their Quran very well, and they don't understand that the book that they say is their holy book.
02:09:34.000It's not an interpretation issue at all.
02:09:36.000And the game changer, and I was talking to one of my clients tonight, the game changer, the thing that we don't understand, Is that people that are willing to die to take out someone are unstoppable.
02:09:47.000If you're willing to die, if you're willing to trade your life for theirs, you cannot stop that from a security standpoint.
02:11:14.000People who believe that it's okay to marry a nine-year-old Whether she wants to or not, consummate it when she's nine.
02:11:24.000People who believe this, people who believe that women need four witnesses if they've been raped to prove it, these people who believe those values are willing to die for them.
02:11:34.000The combination is something that you've never seen in any enemies of war in modern history.
02:11:41.000And I think that's a shocker if people actually knew.
02:12:58.000All right, well, we will bring you again when there's another tragedy, and everyone will want to swallow a knife, but we appreciate you informing us, sir.
02:16:16.000Nigeria happened at the time of this program.
02:16:19.000We don't know a whole lot, so I try and avoid talking about things on air when we don't know much yet.
02:16:24.000Again, because we have the luxury of doing a once-a-week show, and we can actually be more informed if we discuss it, as opposed to simply going on and rambling about something when you have no clue.
02:17:25.000I think there are a lot of people out there who don't know, a lot of Bernie people, a lot of Hillary people, a lot of people out there who aren't malicious, who bought into the lie, right?
02:18:44.000And the way to control people is to...
02:18:46.000What's the easiest way to control people?
02:18:48.000Obviously you can get into the physical, taking firearms away from a populist, but before people, I'm not saying that all liberals are like Hitler, before any regime, whether it's Hitler, whether it's Mao, whether it's Stalin, this is why the First Amendment is so important, right?
02:18:59.000We're not just talking about the ability to protect yourself with the Second Amendment.
02:19:03.000The first thing they do, and the thing they secure more than anything else, is controlling information.
02:19:08.000That's why Cuba doesn't have a free press.
02:19:38.000Progressivism, liberalism, whatever you want to call it, and Islam.
02:19:41.000Here's something else I think that is important.
02:19:42.000Listen, I'm generally a non-interventionist.
02:19:44.000Like I said, I think the main point should be if we go into a country, you go in to win, you kill their leaders, you break stuff, you end it.
02:20:16.000You obviously know ISIS, where they burn people alive in cages, where they rip people's heads off, where they cut their tongues out of their body while they're alive and they cut their eyes out and their arms and their legs.
02:20:28.000In North Korea, the level to which they brutalize Christian dissidents is unbelievable.
02:20:34.000From public humiliation to just wood chips up the thumbs.
02:20:55.000But let's not act like there's a moral equivalency.
02:20:57.000They will take a pregnant woman, of course, if you're a Christian, and put a board on her and people will do a seesaw on the pregnant woman until there's a forced abortion.
02:21:06.000Really, really evil stuff that they have to proactively think about.
02:21:29.000But I'm saying you need to understand it from their perspective before you start vilifying American troops and conservative Americans who believe that we have power and great responsibility.
02:21:38.000That man being burned alive in a cage by ISIS? His only hope, his only prayer, is American Air Force jets or Navy jets coming over and dropping an ungodly firestorm on these terrorist, evil, horrendous bags of human scum.
