Fight for $15 is a movement that's taking over the streets of the major U.S. cities and cities around the country. They want a $15 minimum wage for all fast food workers. But is it a movement or a scam? This week, Not Gay's Jared and his co-producer, Julie Borofsky, explain why they think it's a scam.
00:05:06.000But, I mean, unless we're missing something, we sign up for the email lists, we made the phone calls, Not Gay Jared tried, proactively, to find out where these protests are, and no answer.
00:05:19.000I checked all over Michigan, all over Detroit, Chicago.
00:06:23.000And they are including someone like Not Gay Jared, who they deliberately misled into signing up that he could be a part of their protest, and it was a shutout.
00:06:32.000They do not want anyone to be a part of this.
00:06:37.000The Tea Party, with the March on Washington that happened with Glenn Beck at one point, or the same thing with Jon Stewart when he did the counter protest in Washington, or even Occupy Wall Street, right?
00:06:47.000If you're creating a genuine protest, the whole goal is to get as many people as possible to be a part of a movement.
00:06:55.000And they did the exact opposite of this.
00:06:58.000And I don't know if anyone else has done this.
00:06:59.000I don't know why no one is talking about this.
00:08:29.000If they just keep telling people this is a big movement, lots of things are happening, people are excited, people are pumped, people are marching in the streets.
00:08:35.000Eventually, I don't know, but why wouldn't they want me to show up to something?
00:08:39.000Well, they don't want you to show up because they want to control it.
00:11:40.000I want to talk more about this fight for 15 and this populist bullcrap and this idea that the poor have it so horrible in the United States.
00:13:49.000By the way, Not Gay Jared was very, very nice and gave this money to a homeless man when we were downtown and Coach Mark Ripito was visiting.
00:13:58.000And as we're walking up, because, you know, I'm hobbled, Jared is giving him...
00:14:06.000There's so much that happens in a week.
00:14:07.000There's an argument to go daily with something like this, but we're downtown, so we're pulling up, and we just see, you know, Jared's little dainty hand coming out with a cup and some change.
00:14:18.000Hey, hey, just sit the record straight.
00:17:01.000If you look at people who are successful, if you look at people who have made it beyond minimum wage jobs, in every case, some of them do it in weeks, some of them do it in months, some of them do it in years, they said, I'm going to do what it takes to get beyond this.
00:19:15.000People will walk into a Rite Aid or people will walk into a McDonald's or they'll walk into a local coffee roaster company or a local restaurant and go, yeah, look at Coca-Cola.
00:19:24.000These billionaires, corporate billionaires rigging the system.
00:19:39.000Capitalism has brought more people, has created more moving class structures than any other system ever in the history of the world, particularly America's brand, free enterprise capitalism.
00:19:50.000So it's easy to bitch about the billionaire, but guess what?
00:19:52.000The person who has that fountain machine that you're looking at, bitching about the Coca-Cola because you're thinking about some CEO who has billions, that allowed that guy to open up a franchise, Beaners Coffee or whatever it is, Big B Coffee, and he's able to make good money, upper middle class.
00:20:09.000And it's available to nearly all of you if you're basically competent.
00:20:14.000So instead of bitching about what somebody else has, try and take part in the common thread that connects every single moderately successful American.
00:21:06.000In the wake of controversy regarding Ben Carson's recent statements as a surrogate for Donald Trump's campaign, we take you live to an exclusive interview with our on-the-ground reporter, Jimmy.
00:24:14.000Well, on its surface, people go, what is she saying here?
00:24:17.000She's saying mentally ill people should get guns, but I know what she's saying, and I actually agree with what Julie is saying, so hold your horses.
00:24:34.000Because you mentioned that about Gary Johnson and the cake, and I've talked about it.
00:24:37.000I've always had this sneaking suspicion that Gary Johnson might be a little bit light in the loafers, and so the gay cake thing would stand to reason.
00:26:22.000But I think we might if it's Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton, I don't think there's enough of a contrast where I think a protest vote makes sense at that point.
00:26:32.000And do you do you see a lot of that in this election?
00:26:34.000People who never even thought of that, you think coming into the fold, just going throwing their hands up and they're tired of it?
00:26:42.000I think the Libertarian Party, I think they're probably going to do the best that they've done in decades in this election.
00:26:50.000Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, it seems like no one really likes them that much.
00:26:55.000So I think people are going to go for a protest vote.
00:26:58.000I voted for Gary Johnson in 2012 because I didn't like Mitt Romney or Obama, but now I'm definitely going to vote for a third party because I can't stand any of the frontrunners.
00:27:07.000If it was Rand Paul, would you have voted Republican?
00:27:10.000Yeah, I would have voted for Rand Paul.
00:27:11.000Okay, so even the next closest thing being Ted Cruz, why is that a no-go?
00:27:17.000Um, I like Ted Cruz on some domestic policy issues, but when it comes to foreign policy, he kind of scares me.
00:28:48.000Who answers that question so people go, okay, I can take you seriously, Libertarian Party?
00:28:54.000I honestly think that's one of our downfalls right now because people are so scared of ISIS, all this fear-mongering.
00:29:01.000If you don't say, you know, we're going to go over and defeat ISIS, people think that you're weak on that issue.
00:29:06.000It's one of those really hard you said fear-mongering and I think that's kind of So then okay, so then you need to kind of rationalize why is it fear-mongering?
00:29:13.000That would mean that Isis is not a threat.
00:29:16.000So again that comes back to the question how does a libertarian candidate say it's fear-mongering why?
00:29:21.000I don't think Isis is as big of a threat as the news makes it out to be.
00:29:28.000Of course, in the Middle East, ISIS is a huge threat to those people, but I don't think they're as big as a threat to us as the news makes it out to be.
00:29:35.000Of course, when you say that, people just think, oh, you're just naive on the issue.
00:29:43.000I can understand arguments on that side.
00:29:45.000I mean, I can understand certainly looking back and people saying, well, okay, Iraq didn't work out and that was a mistake, and I can see arguments on both sides, provided they're honest, you know, provided they're not spreading falsehoods like there were no WMDs or something like that.
00:29:55.000If they say, listen, there were WMDs, Saddam out is good, but I don't think we should have done it.
00:30:01.000My question is always, okay, we're here now.
00:30:03.000And that is, I think, an issue, like you said, is disconcerting if people aren't offering a viable solution to deal with it when people are sort of being burned alive in cages.
00:30:16.000Which I'm grateful for, defined yourself as, there are libertarians who are going, okay, good enough is good enough.
00:30:21.000Like you said, Rand Paul, you would have voted for him.
00:30:24.000And I think a lot of libertarians, like at the Libertarian Club when I was in college, you know, they're out of a movement if all of a sudden, right, the libertarian candidate actually has a shot.
00:30:34.000So do you see the libertarian movement kind of taking like a Tea Party approach of taking back the Republican Party, putting in people like Rand or like Justin Amash is a great representative in Michigan?
00:30:45.000Do you think that's the approach, or do you think go boom, full third party and separate and stay that way? - There are different sides to the libertarian movement.
00:30:55.000I think there are people who believe in the Libertarian party, they're gonna go that way.
00:30:59.000And then there's Libertarians who believe that taking over the Republican party is the right way to go.
00:31:04.000I think a lot of Libertarians just kind of got fed up with the Republican party after Ron Paul, after what they did to him.
00:31:11.000And the convention, all those roles, which now are backfiring against the establishment.
00:32:02.000They just wanted to burn the system to the ground.
00:32:04.000And they feel that Bernie Sanders is the best person to do that.
00:32:07.000But also, I've noticed a lot of Ron Paul people going to Donald Trump.
00:32:12.000Yeah, even anarchists who supported Ron Paul going to Donald Trump, which makes no sense to me.
00:32:19.000Well, how do you, like someone like you, who, you know, whether someone disagrees with you or not, has been consistent, you know, see something like the alt-right, which consisted of a lot of libertarians, and now they're sort of nationalist Trump supporters, populism.
00:32:35.000What do you think when you're watching this election unfold, and you see people who claimed your mantle now going Trump?
00:32:43.000I think there are good people who go to Donald Trump, and they do it for the right reasons.
00:33:19.000I wish we could just bring them back and just be like, Be logical.
00:33:25.000I think it's just a lot of anger, and anger's not, you know, the right reason to vote.
00:33:30.000Have you seen, because you have someone like Ben Shapiro, who's conservative, but again, much more libertarian than people would realize if they actually look at what he believes.
00:33:37.000And, you know, they've had him on the show, and obviously Milo, and they've sort of taken two different directions, and Ben's been a target.
00:33:44.000Have you felt some of these people, like you just said, some of the, not all of the alt-right, there are a lot of people who go there for the right reasons, have you felt the wrath of some of these people for remaining libertarian and They're not happy with you?
00:34:20.000There are two different kind of ideas on libertarianism, where some are much more open to, I guess, not necessarily open, but more free borders.
00:34:30.000And then there are some who think, no, it's a problem we really need to fix and take seriously.
00:34:34.000Where do you line up and which candidate, I guess?
00:34:46.000How should libertarians handle that in this election, or how do you see it?
00:34:51.000Honestly, I'm torn on immigration because we do have this huge welfare state, and people come here, and some people just want to get on the government dole.
00:35:00.000Some immigrants do that, but at the same time, there are some immigrants who come here who are very smart, very educated, and come here for a better life, and they do contribute to society.
00:35:13.000For me, I think the biggest issue is...
00:35:20.000How many years it takes to become a legal citizen of this nation.
00:35:24.000I've seen some of my friends go through that system and for me that's the biggest issue that people come here legally and they follow the law, they're good people, but it's just so hard to become a citizen.
00:37:01.000In the wake of controversy regarding Ben Carson's recent statements as a surrogate for Donald Trump's campaign, we take you live to an exclusive interview with our on-the-ground reporter, Jimmy.
00:38:56.000Libertarians complain about that a lot.
00:38:59.000I'm a big fan of the two-party system.
00:39:00.000That's why I asked that kind of question before, if they think about taking swaths of the Republican Party or staying third party and remaining forever pretty ineffectual.
00:39:11.000What do you think and what's the sentiment right now in the true Libertarian community?
00:39:19.000I'm not against the Libertarian Party.
00:39:21.000I vote for the Libertarian Party a lot of the times.
00:39:24.000But I think probably taking over the Republican Party is a more effective strategy.
00:39:29.000Like you mentioned, Justin Amash, Thomas Massey, Ron Paul, Rand Paul, all very Libertarian-leaning who are in the Republican Party and they're doing good.
00:39:40.000I'm not trying to say, and people always get on me and say, oh, Julie's trying to tell us what to do.
00:39:45.000I mean, you can do whatever you want to do.
00:39:47.000Well, that's the problem with libertarians, especially if you have self-professed anarchists who then support Trump.
00:39:51.000They're just, don't tell me what to do, Julie!
00:39:55.000But, you know, the problem is if you're a libertarian party, right, you never win.
00:39:58.000I mean, the whole reason for the two-party system, I come from, I was raised in Canada, parliamentary system, right?
00:40:02.000The reason for the two-party system is to avoid the absolute crap show that you see right now in a primary.
00:40:08.000Where someone who can't get above 35% of the vote can hijack a primary and win a nomination.
00:40:14.000Well, that's what happens if ever you don't have a two-party system.
00:40:18.000You don't have someone who represents even close to a majority.
00:40:21.000I mean, we've had prime ministers in Canada elected with, I want to say, 35%.
00:40:25.000So, I think a lot of libertarians in college, I certainly wouldn't include you there, but a lot of my libertarian friends are like, the two-party system, man!
00:40:42.000Are libertarians as angry as the Trump and the Bernie voters?
00:40:46.000I think third parties give people an alternative.
00:40:48.000Like you said, it's kind of a protest vote, saying that, you know, I don't like any of these two candidates, so I'm going to vote for this person.
00:43:49.000Is that a libertarian viewpoint for states to have the right to say, no, we saw Colorado, we don't want it, and Texas or, I don't know, New Hampshire?
00:45:02.000You're probably on the winning side where more states will legalize it than not.
00:45:06.000Yeah, I hope so, because I think it's an individual freedom issue.
00:45:09.000Also, it's going to save a lot of taxpayer dollars.
00:45:12.000And as you said, I think police officers are even coming around on this issue and saying, no, we have better things to do than bust teenagers for smoking marijuana.
00:45:23.000I certainly think they have better things to do.
00:45:26.000Can we do a web-extended version there?
00:45:28.000Because I think this is an interesting topic.
00:45:31.000I think there's some interesting information that's come out with Colorado.
00:45:34.000But I think we would agree on most of those things.
00:45:36.000So if you're listening to Terrestrially Podcast, extended version Julie Borowski.
00:46:14.000In the wake of controversy regarding Ben Carson's recent statements as a surrogate for Donald Trump's campaign, we take you live to an exclusive interview with our on-the-ground reporter, Jimmy.
00:48:40.000Not Gay Jared, I have this up on my screen, just got another text from the Fight for 15.
00:48:44.000So keep in mind we talked about this in the first hour.
00:48:47.000At no point have any of the multiple forms of contact that Not Gay Jared has given them Actually been alerted as to where or when the events take place.
00:49:42.000Which brings me, we want to talk about the bathroom laws.
00:49:45.000We have so much to get to this week, but of course, the North Carolina, Mississippi, Brian Adams, Bruce Springsteen, and Ringo Starr have canceled their tours in North Carolina.
00:49:57.000Well, I think one of them was a different state.
00:50:22.000We'll talk more about Springsteen and Bryan Adams and why they suck so badly.
00:50:25.000The main thing with Bryan Adams is every time I hear a Bryan Adams song, they're not bad songs, but I'm thinking, oh, that would be a lot better if it weren't Bryan Adams.
00:50:33.000He's the only artist where covers of his songs are better than the original songs.
00:51:04.000This is a protection where not only do they use that bathroom, but businesses have the right to say, no, you use the gender that you are, and It protects businesses, of course, from things like the business.
00:51:17.000Well, we'll get into that because there's so many businesses and examples and people say, well, why are you panicking?
00:51:29.000They try and say it's anti-gay because they're trying to feather in the at-will state, which means I can fire not-gay Jared because I don't like his face.
00:51:36.000The fact that he happens to be not-gay is incidental.
00:51:39.000And it has nothing to do with this law.
00:51:42.000Every state is an at-will state, and then they carve out exceptions.
00:51:45.000I don't like my face, so it would be completely reasonable.
00:51:56.000But I want to get to something that's gone viral this week.
00:51:58.000BuzzFeed video was questions for black people.
00:52:01.000So we're going to do this live right now for those watching the live stream and listening.
00:52:06.000And then, of course, it will be up as a video.
00:52:08.000But BuzzFeed put out this video, questions for black people, of course, entirely black people, based, of course, on stereotyping black people and pigeonholing them and then bitching about how you're stereotyping and pigeonholing them.
00:52:21.000So, yes, I know that I'm white, but I'm going to answer these questions not as a black person.
00:52:27.000Not as a white person, not as someone with a penis, or lack thereof, but using logic.
00:52:32.000let's go through the video if my dad is on fleet did we just mess this and i didn't hear it all right are you cute up there not kid here yep all right let's go to the video why is it a problem uh let's see Is this not going to work?
00:53:25.000Because they want to avoid the exact kind of frivolous lawsuits that are now occurring when men with penises try and use a lady's restroom.
00:55:38.000And one thing I do want to talk about, it's not necessarily about predators, because you can't argue that, namely because we haven't studied, hey, guys with dongs going into women's rooms in the United States, does that result in more sexual assault?
00:55:50.000Understanding the sexually predatorial nature of men, I would guess so.
00:55:54.000But let's not even argue that you don't even need to.
00:55:57.000The overwhelming majority of women are wildly uncomfortable.
00:56:02.000And feel very exposed when people walking, when men walking in there use the restroom.
00:56:08.000There are incredibly, an overwhelming amount of men with daughters are wildly uncomfortable with their daughters being in a restroom with men.
00:56:15.000If you want to talk about rape culture, we don't even need to get to sexual assault, right?
00:56:19.000If a guy looks at you wrong on a campus at Columbia, it's rape culture.
00:56:27.000But tossing a guy in the ladies' room with six-year-old girls?
00:56:56.000Why should we completely, just absolutely run roughshod over the rights of 99.999-whatever percent of Americans for the rights of a very, very small percentage?
00:58:46.000Don't lump me in with the highest suicide rate in the industrialized world, higher than Holocaust victims and American slaves and schizophrenics because they can't accept their basic biology because I have a different preference of friction.
01:02:22.000Well, see, you're clearly coming from a certain place, okay?
01:02:27.000Okay, well, what do you mean I'm coming from a certain place?
01:02:30.000Well, you clearly don't like the guy, okay?
01:02:33.000Now, what I want to know is, like, you know, he's got that comb over, you know, and when it blows over in the wind, you know, his head looks exactly like a d**k, which is what you suck all day long.
01:04:04.000Any of the many, many dozens of people who tried to file police reports at the Lansing Right to Work protest when their tent was cut down and were told that they were unable will tell you that justice isn't always served.
01:04:48.000I don't really have any more opinions on that.
01:04:50.000Apparently, Michelle Fields is filing perhaps a defamation suit, and I know they threaten and say she doesn't want to do that because they'll dig through her past.
01:05:36.000And as someone who has been violently assaulted, as someone who has family members who have been very violently assaulted, I don't like belittling it.
01:05:48.000But if that were my wife, and Lewandowski and I were alone, we have some words.
01:05:55.000One thing, it doesn't change the fact that, listen, I can't speculate because the law happened, right?
01:05:59.000You have to accept that sometimes, okay?
01:06:02.000You may not like it, but you have to accept it.
01:06:04.000I hope I'm being consistent here, because I know the Trump people will either way no doubt be mad.
01:06:09.000And people on the other side understand, listen, you tried to file the charges, was justice served?
01:06:25.000You know, when the protests are at the rally, right, the guy's looking at him, Lewandowski had nothing to say, nothing to do, and then he turns around and it's a yanking of the collar.
01:06:33.000Any guy who's been in the arena, any guy who's wrestled in high school, any person who's ever been a combat or physical contact sport athlete, Knows that's a guy who wants out.
01:06:44.000Knows that's a guy who doesn't want to take.
01:06:46.000And same thing, grabbing a girl when always from behind.
01:07:57.000Like, for example, he only won 45% of Florida, gets away with all 99 delegates.
01:08:04.000So actually, if you look proportionally, Donald Trump proportionally has far more delegates than even the lead that he has.
01:08:11.000And, of course, we know now that that's switched, where he's behind Ted Cruz in the national polls.
01:08:16.000Now, listen, I'm not saying it's a flawless system, but you can complain when it benefits the other guy, and then remain silent when it benefits you.
01:08:25.000Where was Trump when he was saying we shouldn't do winner-take-all?
01:08:28.000He's still banking on winner-take-all in New York.
01:11:23.000You know, if someone out there who, you know, we have people who dissect everything, and they'll be like, they'll claim you're like a Joey Tribbiani.
01:11:29.000Like, that is the worst Mexican accent from a Mexican ever.
01:12:04.000And there's these people out there who think that they don't understand that it's a joke, and so they think that I'm a fake Mexican because, you know, I use a fake accent at first, and then I talk in my regular voice.
01:13:14.000So, Roger Stone, for those who don't know, former Trump active, what do you call him, former Trump operative, he doesn't work with him anymore.
01:13:21.000I think he was the campaign manager or something, or advisor, or strategist.
01:13:25.000What was the official title, do you know?
01:14:36.000And then he directly tweeted you, right?
01:14:40.000Yeah, it was a very nondescript thing.
01:14:43.000I don't want to make a big deal about it, but it is kind of weird because what he tweeted is basically we've been going after him because, at least to us, it's the most obvious thing in the world, right?
01:16:00.000So what he did is he sent this little tweet, and we really go hard on him because he really does seem like kind of a scummy guy, and so I rail on him.
01:16:10.000I just say, this is Trump's lackey, and he's kind of a scumbag.
01:16:14.000And so there was one of the headlines, and he responded.
01:16:17.000He just says, you know, I love you too.
01:16:47.000He stands up against the establishment by posting addresses to people who were elected by their neighbors on a day of rage, a peaceful day of rage, L. Superb.
01:16:57.000Well, that's because, you know, we're taking away their vote, so that's why we deserve to be hunted down with pitchforks and torches.
01:17:07.000And see, this is the thing that kills me, and I'm sure you get the same thing, is that all of these troglodytes, like these illiterate morons, and like we said last time we were talking about, that's not all of them.
01:17:31.000And they come after me, and I'm sure you've gotten this too, where they say that I'm an establishment chill and that the GOP conjured me up and that I'm a product of the establishment.
01:18:04.000But a lot of these hosts, listen, I'll say it.
01:18:06.000Mark Levin, you guys have supported, has been really good about this.
01:18:09.000And you can hear the frustration in his voice.
01:18:10.000But Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity and some of these people on Fox News, when they set it up as though Trump but the establishment, they never say Trump and you know what?
01:18:19.000And strong Tea Party conservatives who don't like him.
01:18:25.000I don't know about you, but that seems to me like someone who's hanging on to a listenership and a dying medium and not being entirely forthright.
01:18:40.000I mean, I think that's kind of what Trump represents.
01:18:43.000It's really weird because Trump represents so much of the criticisms that liberals have been making against conservatives, and he just fulfills them.
01:19:36.000Like if there's a problem, just solve it.
01:19:38.000And I think proper, rational, philosophical conservatism says, hey, sometimes – There are just problems that we need to wrestle with and they're not specifically solvable.
01:19:49.000In fact, one of my heroes is Thomas Sowell.
01:19:52.000I think one of the epitome of conservative thought is this quote from him, which I think is utterly brilliant.
01:20:20.000Every time that you have power and it's collected at the top and they're going to make a huge decision, there's going to be people who are negatively affected by it and there's going to be people who are positively affected by it.
01:20:32.000If somebody is telling you from the left or the right that they have this absolute solution that's going to fix everything, They're usually lying.
01:20:38.000Well, that's antithetical to everything people railed against with Obama, right?
01:20:41.000Like, if people say the number one, well, it's immigration, I'm a single-issue voter.
01:20:44.000You know, if you're going to be a single-issue voter, it should be about the disproportionate amount of power.
01:20:49.000In the last eight years, you could argue, in the last 16 years, George Bush did it too, that has been given to the executive office.
01:21:20.000And there's too many people who – I was really shocked by this.
01:21:24.000I thought that we were the rational party that kind of understood that not everything has a solution and you can make things better or you can make things worse, but you can't positively completely solve everything.
01:21:37.000And Trump comes on the scene and is like, I am going to wave my magic wand and I'm going to fix everything.
01:22:27.000You have those people, and then you have some people who had to do a lot of mental gymnastics, sort of the Christian Tea Party conservatives, or even just the Ron Paul sort of libertarian conservatives.
01:22:38.000And I feel like you're seeing some of those people now go, okay, this isn't what I thought.
01:22:45.000I think even early on, Ron Paul himself said that he wasn't going to endorse anybody because nobody was really espousing the views of libertarianism.
01:22:55.000And I think I'm seeing a little more of those people come around because they're – I don't throw myself in with that crowd completely, but I do agree with them on a lot of things.
01:23:05.000They're very principled about these things and probably – You know, to an extreme, like, that's the fault, is that they're overly principled on a few things, and they want to jettison everything else out, having to do with social conservatism and things like that.
01:23:17.000But in any case, they are actually very principled, and I think what they're seeing is that, you know, this guy is, like you said, the antithesis of what they...
01:23:27.000I think they first thought, we have to go to a break soon, I think, and we can talk about it, we'll come back, you're playing Spot the Tranny, right?
01:23:34.000Yeah, you know, we'll all lose our jobs.
01:23:36.000I think they thought, hey, libertarians, they were pulled between destroying the two-party system, but then they realized this could be actually worse than the rhinos.
01:23:46.000So I understand they were tired of Republicans, like we all were, and then there was another fork where, okay...
01:23:52.000Ted Cruz and Donald Trump are not the typical Republicans.
01:25:11.000I know it may seem counterintuitive, but because you people have been so successful, we actually have the opposite of a quota, and we're going to give your spot to somebody who's worse.
01:25:24.000I know they didn't tell you, but you can make a few phone calls.
01:32:46.000The only way he doesn't get the nomination, and we go to a contested convention, I think, is if the GOP holds the line, and they never hold the line, and they've already given signs that they're a little spineless on this.
01:33:00.000If they actually cared about the principles of conservatism, I think they would have gone after him a little earlier and a little quicker.
01:35:09.000Um, your package seems to have been lost in the mail, as I still do not have all the cheeses.
01:35:19.000But Hopper is willing to overlook this mistake and forgive, provided they are sent promptly to Hopper's P.O. Box by the next commercial break.
01:40:13.000All these old cars are sitting in the driveway, and the GOP, instead of going, look, we can't give these people these cars, why didn't they build somebody from within over the last four freaking years?
01:40:25.000Why did they pick a guy with sense that can communicate?
01:41:23.000You see all these conservative provocateurs or these authors right now who are kind of in their death throes saying, oh, you know, Mexicans, blacks, they talk about these voters.
01:41:41.000You are looking at it the wrong way, and it's a Democrat way of thinking.
01:41:44.000If Republicans just minimize their losses...
01:41:49.000In people under 35 to low double digits.
01:41:53.000Meaning if they lost it, I don't know, 60-40, as opposed to the giant margins by which they're losing them now, they never lose another election.
01:42:02.000It's a much bigger voting base under 35.
01:42:04.000You could even extend that number to under 40.
01:45:12.000Someone telling you, if you think you're a Republican, that your city's far, far, far left policies do not represent the mainstream values of Republican voters, it should be a non-issue.
01:45:29.000It's only an issue for a stupid person who goes, New York values.
01:45:59.000No, you know, I get it to a certain extent because that's kind of how Cleveland is.
01:46:03.000I think it's these northeast cities, I think, more than most kind of have that sort of like we've been through hell and back at our own doing.
01:47:51.000more calls after this hey 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 i'm I'm ticking off the social justice warriors.
01:48:18.000You should see the amount of hate I get on there.
01:48:20.000Far, far, far worse than any Fat Sports Illustrated model or Black Lives Matter charlatan.
01:50:32.000By the way, one thing for people, when you talk about sort of to put it in some context here, my uncle and my brother have gone and taped a lot in India.
01:50:40.000I just want to bring this up real quick.
01:50:42.000And they've worked with some missionaries.
01:50:44.000Just last night, they burned down 20 churches, more than 200 churches in the Olisabang province.
01:50:51.000And I have right here, they want to kill 200 missionaries within the next 24 hours.
01:53:11.000But these are legal drugs that have gone through the scientific process and are some of the most effective drugs known to man.
01:53:17.000And a lot of the time, doctors would probably prescribe these to people, and they're afraid because of the DEA. I don't understand why libertarians don't focus on that more.
01:53:24.000That's where you can make some headway.
01:53:25.000The reason I was thinking about it was because she talked, we talked about drugs with her.
01:53:29.000I was just reading today, I follow mixed martial arts.
01:53:31.000There's a fighter named Lyoto Machida who just got fined for testing for a PED. PED is a performance-enhancing drug.
01:53:38.000Now, Chael Sonnen says every single drug is a performance-enhancing drug.
01:53:42.000If your doctor is giving you a drug that is not performance-enhancing, that's malpractice.
01:53:47.000He cannot give you a performance-hindering drug.
01:53:51.000The drug that was banned, and this is a private organization, USADA, their guidelines are wet, I don't want to get wonky for you, was DHEA. That's something you can, probably many of you watching might even be taking it, or it might be in one of your supplements and you don't even know.
01:54:09.000Certainly if you have older parents or grandparents, it's most likely that some of them are, you can walk right now to Rite Aid, to CVS, and take that.
01:58:49.000He hasn't been on in a while, but a longtime friend, personally, and he was on the show when the first show started, long before syndication, and then several markets complained and pulled us, and then more syndication, and then, of course, more pulling, and then more syndication.
01:59:02.000Ed Morrissey, editor-in-chief at HotAir.com.
01:59:32.000Well, okay, so this is kind of a funny story.
01:59:34.000What happened was right before CPAC, I got a little rash on my lip right up here, and I thought initially, well, I'll just shave around it, right?
01:59:42.000Well, that would have left me with a mustache, you know, right in there, and I thought that was a bad look at a conservative political action conference, so I thought, no, I've got to let the whole mustache grow.
01:59:49.000And then I thought, well, if I'm going to let the whole mustache grow, I need something underneath it, because, you know, with the shaved head and just the mustache, I don't think that would work.
02:00:52.000Okay, and you talk about, you get very strategic in this, talking about what votes determine the Republican election.
02:00:59.000Real quick, just hit us with it, because I know you've been doing the press tour, and then I want to get into something current to tie it into, but Going Red, what's the premise?
02:01:07.000The premise is that in order to win the swing states, the states that Republicans used to win before 2008, Republicans need to get back on the ground and discover who these voters are.
02:01:19.000One of the big reasons why Republicans have lost in 2008 and 2012 is because they were relying on national messaging.
02:01:30.000They had no idea who the voters were in these swing states and these swing counties, seven swing counties and seven swing states.
02:02:20.000If you are talking with the people in these communities, you're finding out what it is that their concerns are in those communities, and then you take the conservative agenda and show how it applies to these issues, to these problems.
02:02:34.000Rather than just saying liberty, liberty, free markets, etc., you go into these different communities and say, hey, you've got a problem with the EPA and the Metropolitan Water District, and it's going to cost you hundreds of dollars a year for the next 20 years out of your pocket, because the EPA...
02:02:48.000won't reconsider a plan for abatement.
02:02:52.000This is the reason why overregulation is bad.
02:02:57.000Not just saying overregulation is bad.
02:04:43.000I'm under the impression, am I wrong, they were out there in August and not a one has changed since August.
02:04:50.000Certainly not since August, and most of the delegate allocation rules are really traditional.
02:04:55.000Colorado changed up a little bit over a year ago, but only just to say that we're not going to have bound delegates.
02:05:01.000The delegate selection process is the same as it's always been.
02:05:05.000This is one of those sausage-making moments in American politics.
02:05:09.000Most of the time, conventions are over before they even start.
02:05:13.000They're just there to celebrate the nomination of the person who we've known for months is going to be the nominee.
02:05:19.000This is the one year in a generation, the one cycle in a generation, where that's not the case.
02:05:24.000And so now, all of a sudden, everybody has to catch up with these rules.
02:05:27.000And a lot of people are being taken by surprise by these rules, but they're really the same rules that have been around for decades, in terms of delegate allocation, in terms of wooing delegates.
02:05:36.000This is the way conventions have always been done when there isn't a clear nominee by the time the convention rolls up.
02:06:02.000Well, that's why I talk about the two-party system.
02:06:04.000I say the two-party system is to avoid a national version of what's happening with these primaries, where someone who can't get above that 35% threshold can take the country hostage.
02:06:13.000And you've seen that in other countries with 30 or 40 parties.
02:06:16.000And I come from Canada with a parliamentary system.
02:06:18.000So I go, listen, two-party system isn't great...
02:06:21.000But it's better than most alternatives, and it's really easy to say, man, corporate influence, but look at this nomination process in a primary.
02:06:30.000Do we really want this kind of a quagmire in general?
02:06:33.000The difference between this system and a parliamentary system is that we iron out the factional issues prior to the general election within the parties.
02:06:42.000In a parliamentary system, not so much Canada, because there's probably only three parties in Canada.
02:07:01.000But you take a look at Israel, and there's like, what, 12, 13 different parties.
02:07:05.000In a two-party system, those parties would kind of be divvied up, and they'd vie for leadership within the party before the general election.
02:08:28.000I actually think that there's going to be a gap of about six weeks between the final primaries and the convention.
02:08:36.000And I think what you're going to find is people are going to put those five or six weeks to pretty good use.
02:08:41.000There's going to be a lot of wheeling and dealing to try to nail this down prior to the convention.
02:08:47.000But even if it goes to the convention and you have seven or eight or ten or fifteen ballots before you get to a nominee, You know, that's okay.
02:08:54.000That's what conventions actually are for.
02:08:56.000They're the backstop for when your primary process doesn't pick a consensus nominee.
02:09:02.000And that's why you elect delegates to go to a convention so that that can be done.
02:09:58.000And bear in mind that the primary schedule was designed this time around to prevent that type of thing from happening as well.
02:10:06.000The idea was to wrap up a nominee early.
02:10:09.000Because remember, the primary kind of stretched out in the 2012 cycle, too, and Mitt Romney ended up taking a lot of damage, even though it was clear that he was going to be more or less the consensus nominee.
02:10:20.000He didn't get it wrapped up until later in the primary.
02:10:23.000And in the meantime, he was taking pot shots from fellow Republicans.
02:10:26.000And then he had to spend all of his primary cash.
02:11:01.000I mean, so they front-loaded the primaries this time, so they didn't have to go through that.
02:11:06.000But the problem was that they had a number of candidates who had viability.
02:11:10.000And so what you've got is this four or five, six candidates that were vying for real votes in the first part of that front-loaded primary.
02:11:19.000And so now what you've got is what's left over, and it's going to stretch all the way to the convention now because there is no consensus schedule.
02:11:26.000Well, that was going to be my final question.
02:14:29.000Usually we don't present other stories in the final segment, but I thought this was pretty important.
02:14:33.000We just wrote about it tonight at louderwithcrowder.com.
02:14:37.000By the way, the BuzzFeed segment that Not Gay Jared, for which you will be fired, we couldn't get working, that'll be up on the website probably tomorrow.
02:14:44.000BuzzFeed released a wildly racist video stereotyping black people, and we're going to just answer their 27 questions that they thought were cute and show you why it's pure dinassery.
02:14:55.000Bill Nye, a video, we have it up at the website, thinks, and he made the statement, that all, not global warming, climate change skeptics should be imprisoned.
02:15:11.000His reason, and he said, for me as a taxpayer and a voter, the introduction of this extreme doubt about climate change is affecting my quality of life as a public citizen.
02:15:21.000I'm glad he said public citizen and not scientist.
02:16:19.000I want to, as noted non-scientist Bill Nye, jail, that includes 30,000 real scientists who actually signed a petition against climate change, let alone the millions of people who aren't convinced of man-made global warming, climate change.
02:16:35.000Now, soon to be global cooling again after the last few years.
02:16:39.000He thinks that all of these actual scientists should be jailed.
02:19:02.000We were talking about a guy like Justin Amash, who I don't agree with him on everything, justifies every single vote he makes on his website and social media page.
02:19:25.000And this is, listen, people will say, well, okay, you know, obviously sometimes we're making arguments on Lauder with Crowder and we're drawing parallels.
02:19:32.000Bernie Sanders' fascism for mediocrity because he wants to socially engineer, right, classes.
02:19:38.000And capitalism and free enterprise, we talked about this, classes are moving.
02:19:43.000Bernie Sanders wants to ensure that doesn't happen.
