On today's show, we have a lot to talk about, including the latest on Donald Trump's trip to Mexico, Colin Kaepernick's contract extension, and much, much more. We also have a new segment called the Sound of the Weekend, featuring our dog, Hopper.
00:01:26.000We have IraqVeteran8888, the biggest firearm channel on YouTube.
00:01:30.000He'll be on to talk about the assault weapons ban under the old Clintons, and in with the new Clintons, what that means, a Hillary Clinton presidency for the Supreme Court, what it means for your firearms.
00:02:27.000We have a lot of inside baseball to talk about that.
00:02:29.000YouTube has decided to start demonetizing videos based on offensive content.
00:02:34.000Right off the bat, we're going to have to talk about Donald Trump and immigration, so we want to save that in the second hour for a longer segment.
00:02:41.000By the way, Tallahassee, Panama City, Florida, two news stations indicating us.
00:03:58.000Number two, having a secure border is a sovereign right and mutually beneficial.
00:04:04.000We recognize and respect the right of either country...
00:04:09.000To build a physical barrier or wall on any of its borders to stop the illegal movement of people, drugs, and weapons.
00:04:20.000Cooperation toward achieving this shared objective, and it will be shared, of safety for all citizens is paramount to both the United States and to Mexico.
00:04:34.000I love how he says, you can tell when he's on book right now, he's being advised to do so.
00:04:49.000I can get on board with this kind of Donald Trump.
00:04:52.000And right afterward, the Mexican president said, actually, no, we discussed that we aren't going to pay for the wall, and his policies could be a threat to all the people of Mexico.
00:05:27.000They want to talk about how bad it is for the United States.
00:05:29.000Let me read you some of Mexico's immigration policy and you tell me if they're racist.
00:05:37.000I'm trying to think of which one to even start with.
00:05:40.000Illegal immigration is a felony and a person can be put in prison for two years.
00:05:46.000Mexicans who help illegal aliens enter the country are themselves considered criminals under the law, and they could be subject to 10 years in prison.
00:05:55.000They also base allowing immigrants in Mexico based on productivity, and they reserve the right for people...
00:06:03.000If they upset the national demographics, the equilibrium of the national demographics, when foreigners are deemed detrimental to economic or national interests, they're not allowed in.
00:06:14.000They're not allowed to come in and be agitators.
00:06:17.000They're not allowed to come in and honestly be a part of a public protest.
00:06:20.000There are even some rules that people don't understand regarding waterfront property.
00:06:24.000You think they would tolerate someone coming into Mexico and burning the flag?
00:06:30.000They're going to have an effigy for you on Dia de la Muerte the next time.
00:06:33.000You're not making it out of Mexico alive.
00:06:56.000You know how people always talk about why don't they have these problems in these European countries, in these Norwegian countries, or in these Scandinavian countries?
00:07:44.000If people are coming to the United States, as the laws in Mexico we've just talked about, if they're coming to produce, if they're coming to be contributors, that's great.
00:07:53.000There was a time in this country, when you talk about the immigrants who came over, whether it was the Italians, the Irish, there was different waves.
00:12:12.000So, Paco, as a progressive, I absolutely think that people like you should be welcomed in the United States.
00:12:20.000I don't think that people of Mexico entering the country need to have any proof of previous employment or have any ambitions for current employment.
00:13:04.000She has to work, pay taxes, go through a lengthy process, and she'll never be allowed to protest or vote, or maybe even own water from property.
00:15:23.000You can find it at lighterwithcredit.com.
00:15:25.000Specifically on climate change and this idea that if you don't accept the fact that humans are causing climate change to a catastrophic level and Bernie Sanders or Hillary Clinton can fix it, you're a denier.
00:15:38.000Specifically the fact that Bill Nye said, well, maybe we should jail climate science deniers.
00:15:44.000The comments were so predictable, immediately people going, oh, I'm going to agree with the 97% of scientists.
00:15:51.000Before they clearly watched the video.
00:15:52.000Here's the thing, you look really stupid if you comment on a video before watching it.
00:15:56.000That consensus comes from really two sources, very small sample sizes.
00:16:01.000There has never been a polling of all climatologists or all atmospheric scientists.
00:19:23.000Go back and watch libertarians or John Stossel making the argument.
00:19:27.000The The argument we always made was peak oil won't occur because of human innovation.
00:19:32.000So the people who work at NOAA, the people who work for the government talking about climate science, who were screaming peak oil the entire time, you can run a quick search and see that all the conservatives on the right, the libertarians, were saying it won't happen because of innovation, because of refining methods that will become more sophisticated, because of things like fracking.
00:19:50.000And now they're saying, well, we were right, but we couldn't have predicted that.
00:21:53.000Well, good thing now is now they're coming out and saying, Oh my gosh, there are fewer oil discoveries than in the last, We have to go to a break and come back to Iraq Veteran.
00:23:15.000We're doing our viewers a service here.
00:23:17.000This water buffalo is not what he presents himself to be.
00:23:20.000Some people might think it's a good-natured, agreeable creature just looking to be pet, when really, he's misleading and just looking for a bar fight.
00:23:27.000What are you even talking about, Jasper?
00:23:29.000I'm talking about one of these things when I was out there with the ex-wife and the children, almost bull-nosed our SUV right over.
00:23:36.000For no reason before that, we were feeding the damn thing.
00:24:44.000Our guests were even dancing a little bit.
00:24:46.000One of my favorite channels to watch, one of the biggest firearm channels on all the interwebs, we have Eric and Chad from IraqVeteran8888 on YouTube.
00:24:54.000Thank you for being with us, gentlemen.
00:25:14.000You're one of the few firearm channels that doesn't shy away from discussing, not necessarily sort of politics, but the issues that matter.
00:26:09.000And then a lot of the statistics that those study groups take into account also include police shootings, gang shootings, things that are going to happen anyway.
00:26:17.000In your society, let's face it, cops have to shoot people.
00:26:22.000They are the people that are designated to deal with crap on a regular basis.
00:26:25.000So, of course, they're going to be put into situations on a regular basis where they may have to use deadly force against a potential subject or whatever.
00:26:33.000And then, you know, it's just one of those things.
00:26:35.000And like the cosmetic features, I do have an A2 here.
00:26:59.000Wasn't it, it was even a little bit more trivial than that.
00:27:02.000Wasn't it if you had two or more of these features, or depending on the combination sometimes, it could be banned or allowed?
00:27:09.000Basically, if it was a semi-automatic firearm and had a series of features that were banned under the 94 crime bill, then the rifle itself was banned.
00:27:18.000But the thing with the 94 bill was anything produced or purchased before 1994 or whenever the ban actually took effect, Was grandfathered in.
00:27:27.000So that's where you get the terms pre-ban and post-ban.
00:27:30.000And the industry just basically, they went with the program and they started producing firearms that coincided with the ban and took off some of these cosmetic features and they still continue to sell drugs.
00:27:54.000H-bars that are not too much different than what I'm holding you, except the sight base wouldn't have a bayonet lug, and they wouldn't be threaded for any type of a flash tire or muzzle device or anything like that.
00:28:04.000Collapsible stocks, I think, were one of the things that were a big deal.
00:28:07.000So here he's got a collapsible stock on this particular M4. That would have been illegal.
00:28:11.000During the ban, these stocks have to be actually pinned in place to a full-length configuration, which doesn't change anything about the operation.
00:28:35.000There's a guy out there that makes these really pretty walnut stocks for ARs.
00:28:41.000I know that sounds weird because you don't associate a pretty piece of walnut with an AR-15, but you could take this gun that I'm holding and put pretty walnut furniture on it.
00:28:50.000You could duracoat it like maybe a flat gray and get rid of the black look to it, and people would automatically, if you just laid them on a table, Along with other hunting rifles, and you ask them, hey, what's the most deadly rifle on this table?
00:29:03.000They would not associate that in that way.
00:29:36.000And, you know, it's really scary to think about it overall, because it goes to show you how gullible people really can be.
00:29:43.000And I think that with the anti-gun mentality, let's just say people that support those kind of measures, a lot of those people are not, you know, unintelligent people.
00:29:57.000They're either ignorant or they're insane or evil.
00:30:00.000So if you don't fit into the group of people who just wants to just blatantly do it for the obvious reasons, maybe you're just a guy that doesn't understand and you're uninformed.
00:30:09.000And you, if you can be brought to kind of see the light, you'll understand that there's really nothing different about it.
00:30:15.000And see, the problem is the anti-gun mentality.
00:30:17.000A lot of these folks, you're talking like the Ivy League people and the guys that graduate from these prestigious colleges up north and everything, and they think, oh, well, everybody in the South's a dumb redneck, and they stereotype gun owners as like rednecks and overalls sitting on their front porch chewing on a piece of straw and watching the sun rise.
00:30:36.000You know, they think we're just a bunch That actually doesn't sound like a bad morning.
00:30:41.000That sounds like a fun morning to be, you know, but the thing is, they think they're a bunch of dumb, uneducated rednecks, and if you ask your average anti-gun guy, who's just your traditional leftist, well-educated anti-gunner, who just thinks he knows everything, if you ask them if they've ever even met somebody in the South, they're probably like, what?
00:32:19.000She wants the entire populace disarmed.
00:32:21.000And the way that they go about doing that is very systematic and small little pieces at a time.
00:32:26.000So with a Clinton presidency or a new Clinton presidency, you could have swings in the Supreme Court, which is where a lot of the rulings on We're good to go.
00:32:57.000If you're talking about the fundamental rights of the people to bear arms, and whether or not that's an individual right, how is that even a thing?
00:33:15.000And it's important, like you're talking about, these Supreme Court cases cut through the social media drama, cut through people writing blogs.
00:33:21.000The four votes against it were not magazine capacity limitations.
00:33:27.000It was, we have to say that based on our interpretation, private citizens have no right to own firearms whatsoever, and it should be left to local jurisdiction.
00:33:40.000You know, I've always believed, and I know to be true, that self-protection and self-preservation is a basic, fundamental human right no matter where you are in the world.
00:33:50.000It doesn't matter where you live, you have a right to defend yourself with at least the same force that everybody around you has.
00:33:56.000So if, I don't know, you're over in a grass hut in somewhere, some third world country, and the other guys have metal sharp sticks, should you have to have wooden sharp sticks?
00:34:06.000I mean, It's really just so terrifying that they think that way.
00:34:10.000And the thing about the anti-gun mentality at the level of people like Hillary Clinton is she's actually not anti-gun.
00:35:02.000We've lost those ideals as a nation and those principles seem to kind of fall into the wayside.
00:35:07.000But there was a time when men were respected Well, she did get an apartment in New York for a few weeks before she became a senator, so she put in the time.
00:36:04.000So she's got these special SUVs that have to be purposely low for her to be able to get in and out.
00:36:10.000And they have to help her up to the podium and help her back.
00:36:13.000And there's been photos that, oh, oddly enough, probably some of the Secret Service guys took that she's been so rude.
00:36:20.000Yeah, here's how you can tell when Secret Service doesn't like you.
00:36:23.000Like Barack Obama, when someone who you know is Secret Service videotaped his workout using three-pound dumbbells for like 40 minutes and leaked it.
00:36:35.000If he's your friend, he goes, alright, we're going to get this right camera angle, we're going to make it look like you're deadlifting 450, okay?
00:36:40.000Instead, you're like, alright, get him doing shrugs with the three pounds and leak it to live leak.
00:37:12.000They've been worse in their carrying out of them, but their foreign policy.
00:37:17.000When it comes to firearms, though, and then we'll go to a break, real quick, is this the most consequential election you think in a long time?
00:37:42.000So there's a little bit, that hurts them a little bit going into it because they know that they have to kind of, you know, act a certain way in order to not, you know, sway things that way.
00:37:52.000But then with Trump, it's like, you know, a lot of people don't like Trump, and I know that, you know, there's not a lot of support, so it's random.
00:39:32.000So you were talking about this before the break because now that we've spent all of our time just defecating on Hillary Clinton, you said with Trump, you'd like to think he's pro-Second Amendment, but Chad, you seem to have some reservations or maybe unsure.
00:39:46.000If you look at some of his past history and just some of the things that he said back in the early to mid-90s and even later on, Trump used to be a Democrat, basically, and he said some things about firearms that were not exactly pro-Second Amendment, but now he's changed face, become a Republican or a conservative in name, and some people think that he's a rhino, which is a Republican in name only.
00:40:10.000And that he's running as a conservative, but really, no matter who wins the election, some people think that we're still going to have democratic ideals in the White House.
00:40:20.000So it's a scary situation because it's that trust factor.
00:40:29.000I would say, I think, listen, I've had those issues, and I think correctly so on things like immigration, where he sometimes kind of pivots on the economy and taxes.
00:40:37.000I think, and correct me if I'm wrong, either Eric or Chad, whoever wants to chime in, with the Second Amendment, it is such a winning issue, and it is one that they cannot risk pissing off their base.
00:40:47.000I think he would have to acquiesce to people like you and myself.
00:40:59.000So, you know, the NRA wouldn't come out and say, hey, you know, we're endorsing Trump for president.
00:41:05.000I'm sure that there's, like, this talk to go on behind the scenes where they probably sat down with him and probably got the skinny and probably thought, okay, this guy has a pretty good chance for the Second Amendment.
00:41:14.000Now, you know, granted, you know, Eric Trump, isn't that his son?
00:41:19.000Eric, I believe his name is Eric Trump.
00:41:24.000And there's been multiple people in the industry that I've dealt with on a regular basis that have, like, shot with him.
00:41:29.000They said he loves guns and everything like that.
00:41:31.000So you can't imagine, like, a gathering of the Trump family getting together and hanging out and a few guns not get broken out and have some fun and do some shooting.
00:41:56.000So the thing is, like, there's a very big difference between, all right, I took a two-shot shotgun and went out and shot crap, and I own an AR-4.
00:42:05.000To the other's perspective, I own an AR and a handgun for self-defense.
00:42:09.000Those are two very different aspects of the Second Amendment, I believe.
00:42:12.000And you've got people who go, yeah, I support the Second Amendment, but do they really understand what it's really about, what it really means in this country that we now have, over the course of the last 20 years, we've seen a huge influx in the self-defense gun culture, the culture of self-defense, the culture of responsibility.
00:42:32.000And I believe that that has come full circle now.
00:42:35.000And there are more gun owners now than ever Who embrace the idea of the culture of self-defense to include women now, you know?
00:42:43.000Well, I would love to get you guys on board, and not that pressure on air, but we're going to do a video with Dave Rubin out in California.
00:42:49.000He has a show on YouTube, pretty popular.
00:42:51.000He's a moderate, sort of gay, center-left.
00:42:55.000I think he just endorsed Gary Johnson.
00:42:59.000I've said, listen, if you know someone who's on the fence who's never owned a firearm, hashtag, and we got it trending, hashtag gift a gun.
00:43:07.000Buy a gun, have it shipped to their FFL, so that way they have to go through the paperwork.
00:43:13.000Because all it takes for someone to know that Hillary Clinton is lying, all it takes to know that someone like Barack Obama is lying, is for that person to have ever bought a gun.
00:43:21.000Whenever they hear someone on TV say, you can get these guns with no background checks, even a liberal but who had a gun given to them as a gift is going to sell...
00:43:30.000And I think that'd be a great thing to get more people on board.
00:43:33.000Just getting other people, even if they end up selling it or trading it in, at least they've had to go through the process and they understand there is a process.
00:43:40.000Yeah, I mean, not only that idea that you're talking about, but also getting them out to the range.
00:43:47.000It's not so much the, like, getting the gun and doing the paperwork.
00:43:50.000Okay, then you go out in your car and you're like...
00:43:52.000No, no, but a two-prong because the lie that you don't need to do any paper, it's easier to get a gun than a toothbrush, and then get them obviously training if they want to use it, but just getting them in the process so they know that's a lie, it's very easy to debunk.
00:44:06.000They know it's not just as easy as going into a grocery store and buying like a little package, like in a meat package with a pistol in it.
00:44:28.000I mean, a gun show, if you buy from a dealer, you still have to be paid for.
00:44:32.000If you have a carry permit, you can buy without going through a background check because you've already been through an extensive federal background check to obtain that carry permit.
00:44:40.000And people do not know the process, and they just think, oh, well, I could just go out and just buy a gun on the street.
00:44:54.000I mean, if you buy a gun online, you can get normally a better price, or if you buy something on Gunbroker that's used, or like Antique or whatever, it still has to ship to an FFL, and you still have to be transferred.
00:45:21.000Well, no, and I'm glad that there are channels out there.
00:45:24.000I think the firearm community, we've talked about this, is a great sort of microcosm for people to see.
00:45:29.000They tend to lean more right, they're more conservative, but they're more free thinkers and they're not just married to the left-right paradigm.
00:45:36.000And so it's more indicative of a diverse sort of, I guess, sort of intellectual diversity you see there.
00:45:42.000And I'm glad to see more people on there.
00:45:44.000So real quick, before we go, where can people best find you?
00:45:48.000Go on to YouTube and just type in IRACVeteran8888.
00:45:57.000We have a series called Gun Gripes where we basically talk about these exact subjects.
00:46:02.000In fact, the spirit of this video makes me think exactly of that.
00:46:06.000you mentioned like forward thinking and kind of open-minded so that that's definitely what we're all about in terms of individualism i mean that's the biggest thing that we we get at is just be an individual don't be a subject be an individual be responsible for yourself right absolutely the The right to basic human self-preservation.
00:46:48.000This week, while the tabloids are trying to keep you distracted with your mind on Donald Trump going down to Mexico, or the feud going on between Kim Kardashian and Taylor Swift as they Instagram pictures of their fat asses, That's just the mainstream media trying to keep you out in the cold from the issues that really matter.
00:47:13.000Like the fact that Hillary Clinton's security detail and their complicit a** munchers in the media are trying to actively cover up the fact that Hillary Rodham Clinton has stage 4 Zika virus.
00:49:14.000YouTube has the right, I want to be clear with this, YouTube has the right to remove anyone they want from their platform and to not monetize videos.
00:49:20.000However, YouTube has never created content, really.
00:49:23.000YouTube has simply provided a platform.
00:49:25.000YouTube would not be a multi-billion dollar entity if not for the people who create content on YouTube.
00:49:45.000Because otherwise there'd be no reason to be on YouTube.
00:49:47.000So to build this business, they courted people to create content, and they courted them under the guise of, hey, open expression, as long as you bring an audience, you can make money.
00:49:57.000Now they're getting greedy and saying, eh, we want all the money, we want more advertisers, we want premium advertisers, so we want to turn YouTube into the Disney Channel.
00:50:06.000And they're going after channels left and right.
00:50:08.000Let me give you some inside baseball from us.
00:50:10.000We were with a studio with YouTube, Studio 71.
00:50:14.000Now, I don't think I'm saying, you know, you always have to be careful because of moral turpitude clauses, so I will only say exactly what has happened.
00:51:27.000I understand this is advertiser-driven, so you need to look at the advertisers, if they're the ones who are creating these guidelines, and list them publicly.
00:51:33.000I don't believe that every single advertiser finds gun to be an offensive word.
00:52:43.000You've probably heard though if you could count on one hand the amount of times that I've said something that wouldn't be allowed on traditional TV. Why is that?
00:53:15.000We try and keep the organic nature of being online, but the professionalism in our language and the ability to articulate a point that you would expect from someone in traditional media.
00:54:21.000By the way, anyone can make a highlight reel.
00:54:23.000That did not take long to come up with.
00:54:25.000And by the way, the only reason we use Kyle Kalinske, I know some of you are fans, is because he addressed me and insulted me in his last video, but then refused to show up for debate.
00:55:23.000And so that's why we don't swear a whole lot.
00:55:25.000And yeah, again, I come from traditional media, Fox News, film, radio, CNN, all of these, you know, BBC, you name the network, I've done it.
00:55:33.000And so they have guidelines and it's somewhat ingrained into me.
00:55:36.000I'm getting texts from Iraq veteran now.
00:55:38.000We're going to have Dave Rubin up next.
00:56:00.000If you like the content, it allows us to get a hold of you.
00:56:03.000If YouTube tries to ban us or if Facebook, as we've had these tussles before.
00:56:07.000And I will say this, if we were to ever go daily, if it were ever to be a part of the discussion, there's not an announcement coming in October or November, we're not going to do a Patreon, a $1 here, a $2 there.
00:56:19.000If we were to ever do it, it would be created in a way so that we could sustain what we do.
00:56:24.000Here's the thing, you can't complain about censorship on YouTube and then not pay for content.
00:56:27.000It would be something in a way that we want to provide such immense value, you would feel compelled to pay.
00:56:52.000But we would take that daily show off of YouTube for reasons like the stream tonight, for reasons like YouTube demonetizing it, so that you can support.
00:57:00.000If you want to support what we do, great.
00:57:01.000We don't try and hawk you a bunch of stuff.
00:57:03.000We don't want your money if you don't want to support the program.
00:57:19.000I think Drudge called them social media ghettos.
00:57:22.000I think the backlash is going to be unbelievable with YouTube because unlike Facebook or Twitter, you know, Facebook, your grandmother's on and they post cat pictures.
00:57:28.000YouTube is entirely dependent on the content.
00:58:23.000I mean socialists in the UK. It's not a part of their platform.
00:58:26.000If you can point me in the United States to any mainstream conservative Republican platform that calls for the banning of offensive speech, I would be shocked.
00:58:37.000Don't reach all the way back for Tipper Gore after Columbine and violent video games.
00:58:42.000Even if you're a liberal, this is one thing, and we'll talk about that with Dave Rewin, you have to acknowledge.
00:58:47.000Private businesses have the right to do this, but it almost always happens when it's run by leftists.
00:58:53.000Speech eventually degrades to the point that it evaporates.
00:58:58.000So hopefully we've crystallized our thoughts, and we're not going anywhere.
01:01:46.000He's been in the news for refusing to stand during the national anthem, talking about how he won't support a country that oppresses black people, cause some waves.
01:02:23.000Maybe you're hurting your cause more than helping it than if you did it in a more productive way.
01:02:30.000Look, Stephen, this is how you make friends.
01:02:32.000You know, when the TSA slows down the airport security line because they want more funding, are the people in line mad at the TSA? No, they love the TSA. They got their hands up.
01:03:36.000See, Colin, this is what we're talking about.
01:03:37.000It seems like you're using these sort of political third rails, you know what I mean, Jared, for publicity, and it just seems a little bit scummy, and you're doing more harm to your cause than good.
01:04:00.000I'm not going to be complicit in a system that works for a privileged class, but not for the common man, which is why, Stephen, I would like to announce on your show, I'm also not taking any tax deductions this year.
01:05:59.000I've also put together a bit of a brain trust of some of my celebrity friends, some of the brightest guys I know, Chris Brown, Ryan Lochte, Paul Krugman.
01:08:26.000We're to do that, like we've talked about, golden ticket, we're going through submissions, there would be more pieces to a whole new pie as far as people being employed.
01:08:38.000There's both people in this election right now, whether it's Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump, the implication is that America isn't great or someone can fix it.
01:08:45.000It really doesn't need all that much fixing.
01:08:47.000It needs someone to get out of the way.
01:10:23.000Crowder, have you ever thought of doing one of those, like, eight-hour, you know, those things on YouTube, those meditation things, just an eight-hour video where they just play some music and then you just see some...
01:10:34.000It's usually psychedelic stuff, but I feel like a good cut of your head, Bob's, Would get people tripping.
01:10:41.000Sounds like a Shia LaBeouf experiment.
01:11:37.000Well, here's my thought on Gary Johnson.
01:11:38.000So I didn't say I'm going to vote for him.
01:11:41.000And what I did was I guess you could call it an endorsement.
01:11:44.000What I basically said in a 14-minute direct-to-camera video was that we desperately, whether you like Trump or you like Hillary or you hate Trump or you hate Hillary or some combination thereof, It is pretty freaking obvious to anyone that has a couple neurons firing in their brain in this country, not that there's many of us left, but there are a couple of us left, and it's pretty obvious to us that we need a third voice in this.
01:12:10.000Gary Johnson is not a perfect candidate.
01:12:12.000He's not even a particularly strong candidate, but some of the things that he talks about, about being socially liberal, so he doesn't care who you sleep with, he doesn't care what you smoke, having low taxes, strong defense, but not to nation build, just so that we don't have to use our defense.
01:13:13.000Either after that, Hillary will have him killed or whatever.
01:13:16.000He won't get in a second one, obviously.
01:13:18.000But there's a couple weeks here where we could get enough juice behind him to get in there.
01:13:22.000I don't even think he would do particularly well, but my point is let's get some of these ideas heard.
01:13:26.000Well, he's used to debating fat strippers at the Libertarian Convention, so making it to the national stage might be a little bit difficult.
01:13:42.000And look, a party that's brought together on liberty, meaning individual liberty, it's hard to get these people with like a unifying principle behind them.
01:13:49.000Well, yeah, and you have that even with the Republican Party, certainly more so than the Democratic Party.
01:13:54.000If you look at the Republican debates, you had all different kinds of people.
01:13:56.000You had black, white, women, older, younger, everything you could imagine.
01:14:00.000It was a very diverse color palette, gender palette, whatever it is that you want to toss in there to the Republican Party.
01:14:05.000Then it was just a bunch of old white people, democratic debates in the primaries, and they agreed on everything.
01:14:11.000Ideologically, you had pro-pot people like Gary Johnson, Rand Paul, who were non-interventionists.
01:14:17.000You had war hawks like Chris Christie.
01:14:19.000You had people who weren't politicians like Ben Carson, Carly Fiorina.
01:14:22.000You had sort of populists like Donald Trump.
01:14:24.000And on the left, they agreed on everything except they bragged about who got the lowest rating from the NRA, and they all just excoriated Bernie for only getting a D minus.
01:14:33.000Yeah, even more so with libertarians, but hopefully people on the left are seeing, hey, it's irrefutable now that there's more intellectual diversity coming from the right at this point.
01:14:42.000Well, look, if you wanted the best situation for both parties, and again, I still think we desperately, desperately need a third party, a viable third party, and that's why I did what I did with Gary Johnson, even if it's not the third party for 2020.
01:14:55.000We just have to put these people on notice.
01:15:28.000He was the only decent one on that stage.
01:15:30.000Well, Jim Webb, it was funny because he came off as like a evil 80s character in a Steven Seagal movie, you know, like an American leader gone rogue or something.
01:15:41.000But he obviously represented a Democratic, you know, the Blue Dog Democrats.
01:16:21.000And I understand where you're coming from, and I agree.
01:16:22.000The Republican Party is broken, and either it needs to be entirely fixed from within, 100% renovated, or some people think with Donald Trump, you just destroy it, scorched earth, and rebuild.
01:16:32.000But I also come from a place like Canada, where you look at the UK. You look at a parliamentary system where you can have someone elected without even close to a majority of the vote because they're so split.
01:16:56.000The two-party system that we have in contrast with parliamentary systems, what we had before, is closer to the ideal than what we had before it.
01:17:06.000So I get what you're saying, but keep in mind that having two parties in our system has nothing to do with our system.
01:17:11.000That's just because these two parties have grabbed the power.
01:17:15.000Our system, there is nothing in our Constitution that says we have to have two parties or anything like that.
01:17:19.000The two parties have grabbed all the power, crushed everybody else, and every year that someone says, oh, I'm gonna vote another way, everyone says, you're gonna throw your vote away, you know?
01:17:28.000So we need to at least, I get it, there are all kinds, we can look at all sorts of, you know, countries in Europe where they have parliamentary systems where the tiniest party that has two mandates can topple an entire government because of what you're saying.
01:17:42.000So I get it that that has its own flaws too, but it's pretty obvious.
01:17:46.000I mean, look, I know you're not thrilled with the two candidates right now.
01:17:49.000I'm pretty sure that if there was a sensible, more libertarian guy, I get it why you may not be...
01:17:56.000Well, I'm guessing you basically like Gary Johnson, right?
01:18:00.000Well, maybe you can help get him out of the closet.
01:18:02.000He just seems to me like he just, he's, come on, he always sits there and he gets so, you ever see him actually debate other libertarians?
01:18:07.000I feel he's a little bit entitled to the nomination.
01:18:09.000When he sat there and debated Austin Peterson, who was the other guy, we had Austin Peterson on the show, he gets snippy and catty and bitchy, and I just find that off-putting.
01:18:19.000I don't like the carbon tax that he's talked about.
01:18:21.000I don't like his running mate stance on Second Amendment.
01:18:24.000And I think the libertarian, the ultimate bullet to their own foot is this sort of open borders policy.
01:18:31.000And that comes from this nerdy pseudo-intellectualism of thinking that immigration is fine, the market will fix it.
01:18:37.000Well, Milton Friedman even addressed this back then, who I think is widely considered more libertarian.
01:18:42.000Listen, it's different to have people immigrating for work opportunity.
01:18:46.000And when you become a welfare state, that's an entirely different issue.
01:18:50.000So I'm pretty strong, pretty harsh on immigration, and that's where I part ways with most libertarians.
01:19:24.000But to that point, he would get up, if we can get him to 15%, just so we can get some of these other ideas heard, yeah, he would be demolished by Trump and Clinton.
01:19:34.000Because she knows her stuff inside and out.
01:19:36.000We know that Trump is just a truck, just plowing through everything.
01:19:43.000I think he would act sort of like the Rand Paul did in the Republican primary, where you had a lot of people getting away from conservatism, promising what they were going to do, how they were going to fix it, and Rand Paul just saying, well, I wouldn't do a thing.
01:20:03.000So if Gary Johnson would serve sort of as a referee in that sense, yeah, I think it could be productive of the conversation.
01:20:09.000What do you say to people who tell you, well, that's a vote for Hillary, effectively?
01:20:14.000Basically what I said in my video is I'm going to support him to get those ideas out there enough to just see if we can get him in the debates.
01:20:21.000After that, after that, I'll reevaluate.
01:20:44.000Let's just try something a little different.
01:20:46.000But one other thing on the party thing.
01:20:49.000Imagine if Trump had got the nomination and then Rand Paul, even though his campaign was terrible and he went out way too early and all that stuff.
01:20:55.000Imagine if he had said, you know what, I'm going to run third party libertarian probably, right?
01:21:00.000And then if Bernie would have said, you know what, whatever deal they gave him, which was obviously a raw deal because he looked so pissed at the Hillary acceptance thing.
01:21:08.000Imagine if he said, you know what, I'm running green.
01:21:26.000There's real diversity of thought, having those four people debate.
01:21:29.000And we have no diversity of thought, really, with Clinton.
01:21:32.000Well, it's interesting you say that, because I think the reason a lot of the alt-right and conservatives who are always Trump, and if you don't explicitly endorse Trump, and I'll never endorse anybody.
01:21:58.000We can see the end of this crap storm.
01:22:01.000But I think the reason conservatives are more upset is if you look at it, once it becomes a four-person race, it actually hurts Trump more than Hillary.
01:22:08.000The libertarian, Gary Johnson, takes more away from Trump than Hillary, which would seem counterintuitive, but if people are looking at the numbers, it's pretty consistent.
01:22:23.000I'm in this because I want to have some sort of battle of ideas.
01:22:26.000And I think if you really want to have a battle of ideas, think about it right now.
01:22:30.000Forget the Republican side, because that's close to your heart.
01:22:33.000So let's just go on the Democratic side, where you do not, did not, and would not ever like Bernie or Hillary, right?
01:22:40.000But imagine if Bernie would have, when they laid down the law with him at the DNC and they had said, you know, you're going to endorse her and you're going to blah, blah, blah.
01:23:02.000And you know whose revolution is here?
01:23:04.000It's the alt-right revolution, because Hillary is now name-checking them.
01:23:08.000So she killed the Bernie revolution, and last week she gave a speech mentioning the alt-right, and now Pepe the Frog is more influential than Bernie.
01:25:35.000Crowder, if either one of us combined have the amount of stuff firing in his brain, in our brains, I don't have to have it now, when we're his age, the guy's just a warrior.
01:25:46.000And we're at the age of, what is he, 112?
01:26:12.000Well, you know, there's something to be said about the daily interview.
01:26:17.000Think about the booking that goes into that.
01:26:20.000You know, today you're interviewing a rapper, tomorrow you're interviewing the Secretary of State, the next day you're interviewing an ex-con, the next day you're interviewing, you know, an actor.
01:26:28.000It's like, you have to really be kind of all over the place and understand enough stuff.
01:26:32.000That's why I like doing the once a week interview.
01:28:12.000Do you think liberals are far more likely, this has been my experience, far more likely to call someone out and hide behind a network or not show up when debate time occurs?
01:28:21.000So this is one thing where I think you're slightly just missing the definition, and it's just because everyone gets sort of in their own thing.
01:28:31.000A real liberal, a classic liberal, no.
01:28:34.000But what you're talking about is people on the left.
01:28:36.000But that's an important distinction, and I know it's kind of splitting hairs sometimes, and people don't even understand really what that means.
01:28:42.000But a liberal, if you were a Google classic liberal right now, basically all it says is that you use logic and reason to come to your conclusions, and you are not...
01:28:52.000So wed to a conclusion that if new information changes, that you won't change.
01:29:42.000They did the whole thing, the 69, the vote.
01:29:45.000Yeah, so they did something, and they wrote about, and I was included in it.
01:29:49.000They had reached out to me to be in some article about the alt-right something, and I declined because I could tell that the article was just going to be bullshit.
01:30:31.000That's not liberal, but that's leftist to do that.
01:30:34.000Okay, well, yeah, and I use the term because it's a term that people understand, but I say those on the left.
01:30:39.000Even then, though, with liberal, I would say, like, we'd released this climate change video, and the response right away was so predictable, they clearly hadn't watched it.
01:30:46.000We said, listen, I'm not the one saying anybody should be jailed.
01:30:49.000I'm not saying the earth isn't getting warmer.
01:30:51.000Calling someone a science denier and deferring to a 97% statistic, which is completely both.
01:30:59.000If you can't make the case, I say in the video, if you can't make the case, you have no business simply deferring to someone who you think makes it for you and calling your opposition an idiot.
01:31:07.000I wouldn't debate a scientist, but I would debate all the commentators who tell everyone else they're not scientists, and I would host a debate between two actual scientists.
01:31:15.000But that's one of those things where a lot of people shut off their mind, and it's dogmatic, it's religious, the neo-environmentalism.
01:31:21.000Well, look, Crowder, not to give away our secret to all of our enemies, but the reason that people like what you do and like what I do is that we are open-minded enough and secure enough to sit across from somebody and have some stuff challenged.
01:31:33.000And I know I don't pretend all the time to know everything.
01:31:36.000I've had Michael Mann on my show, who is one of the leading climate scientists in the world who came up with the hockey stick theory, right?
01:33:06.000Cosby, I have found myself in a predicament of hot water, namely because I have been unfaithful to the wife, to the barber's wife.
01:33:19.000It's because there's some Instagram models with pictures of me.
01:33:24.000More specifically, Mr. Pee-wee-a-boop, down there, down below the belt line.
01:33:30.000He's going to love to say that this is self-inflicted because he can't stop sending pictures of William John Thomas and wants to know how to handle the situation.
01:33:46.000Now, Mr. Williams, Wheeler, I'm at a level with you.
01:33:50.000I don't know a whole lot about the Apple phone and the iComputer with all the technology.
01:33:57.000Back when I was in the game with the new Mac, I was more traditional.
01:36:56.000Whether it's Pierce Morgan, whether it's the Young Turks, whether it's Michael Woods Jr., whether it's the people on whatever the networks are who have Twitters who go after you, their whole goal is to simply bully you.
01:37:12.000Right here, she's not saying, hey, we have a disagreement.
01:38:52.000The fact that this girl understands Gawker will be her attack dogs, she is so confident that they are just as closed-minded and feeble-willed as her that they will go after a Lyft driver for a hula girl, who, by the way, is probably a Democrat himself.
01:39:08.000The reason this went viral is because it's emblematic of the left.
01:39:12.000And I hope people are waking up to it.
01:39:15.000We have more and more people saying, hey, you know, I used to be a liberal...
01:39:20.000Just as Republicans have to accept maybe the monster that they see with Donald Trump, you know, some of them are unhappy with it.
01:41:33.000So Kaepernick, who's not really black, is black because he hates the flag.
01:41:37.000Jerry Rice, who simply said all lives matter, he's not black.
01:41:40.000The reason that may be, by the way, we wrote about it a lot at with Crowder.com, there was a letter sent out to the DNC saying, hey, don't ever, ever, ever, ever say all lives matter.
01:41:48.000That's actually really incendiary, and they acknowledge that Black Lives Matter is a radical group, so they don't want to tick them off.
01:44:13.000He actually, above average in several categories, and on average are a little below in some others, but he'll probably make a minor league team, they say.
01:44:22.000Would he be comparable to other people who would make minor league teams?
01:46:09.000If a coach says, hey, we need that on our team, we need a rallying point, why would you be on board with a Rudy and praise that film and see it as inspiring and not say, you know what?
01:46:18.000Everyone who's been on a team with Tim Tebow says, hey, he's a good guy and he helps the team.
01:46:23.000It's one of those things I'll never figure out.
01:51:10.000Well, I just figured there was no way to ease into it.
01:51:13.000You don't need to let them know the price because then the golden tickets are going to fill up because, I mean, everyone's getting rich off of this.
01:52:08.000Okay, so you go in and I know your type, right?
01:52:10.000You say go getting type A male probably has to be conservative because, I mean, not only of what you do, but I don't see you making it with someone who's not.
01:52:20.000No, it would be hard for me to go long-term with a liberal.
01:52:22.000Someone who's apolitical, maybe, but because this is what I do as a career, you know, what do you do for a living?
01:52:31.000It's not going to go over well when he says, I voted for Bernie Sanders, because at some point he's going to get my last name, he's going to Google me on the first page, it's going to be dear men who vote Bernie Sanders, you're not men at all.
01:52:41.000Not if he changes that last name first.
01:52:43.000This is true, he might change it for you.
01:54:32.000When I showed up for my date, they told me he was a really good dresser and that I should wear something nice, like a summer dress.
01:54:40.000So I went out shopping, got a summer dress, and when I saw my date, he was like Ed Rooney, only with man boobs and a big stomach hanging over his belt.
01:54:55.000Okay, we do have to go to a break on that note.
01:55:10.000For breaking news on Louder with Crowder, I'm Perry Matheson.
01:55:35.000Amidst a brutal attack advertising campaign against his rival Hopper for President 2016, Sheldon Acorns and his squirrel-ceuticals finds himself in the middle of yet another tumultuous sexting scandal.
01:55:51.000These recent graphic images have surfaced, and here on Lover with Crowder we have an exclusive statement from Sheldon himself.
01:56:04.000And, uh, 124 billion of us on here, you shouldn't be surprised.
01:56:07.000And I think it's, uh, fairly clear that Hopper's trying to distract from the real issues, that he has a painkiller addiction, he's unfit for office, and his, uh, running mate is not even American.
01:58:09.000I mean, that's either something like you're doing weird sex stuff.
01:58:13.000It's what I felt like doing back to him, like a hammer fist, like, stop touching me.
01:58:17.000I know I give out mixed signals sometimes, but it's usually...
01:58:20.000I never give out the signal, please touch me.
01:58:22.000So I was there, like, making myself as small as I possibly could be.
01:58:26.000There were two gay guys sitting next to me who, fortunately enough, we provided entertainment for them because after the date, they said, oh my gosh, it was so clear that you were having a horrible time.
01:58:39.000I can't even believe he asked for your phone number.
01:59:58.000I had to run to a ferry one time from a parking lot to the ferry.
02:00:04.000It was probably like a quarter of a mile and I wasn't out of breath and I said, "You shouldn't set me up with somebody who couldn't do the same." If he can't, you know, if it's someone who can't do...
02:00:14.000and I described that he had not taken Kramer's advice and worn the man's ear that evening.
02:00:26.000Okay, so are you giving them another shot, or are you done with this dating?
02:00:31.000Because right now, AR15.com, there are people saying, I mean, the problem is you tow that line of people if they don't like you because you're conservative.
02:00:37.000You're just going to say you're ugly and you suck, and then the people who do like you really like you.
02:01:11.000It's not, you know, I'm an expert at it, and that's kind of why I want to move on, try something else.
02:01:16.000I'd like to try my hand at petty jealousy and passive aggression.
02:01:21.000But the thing is, you know, it's not, if you look at Twitter, you look at the message boards right now, it's not that, and you can tweet her at Courtney Scott, it's not that there aren't suitors, it's, you do have higher standards.
02:02:47.000And they're like, oh, testosterone, pick-up culture, oh, alpha male, this kind of stuff.
02:02:52.000And so those guys go out, and they're just, I mean, these are scared little boys trying to act like men.
02:02:57.000And then on the flip side, and that's a blowback because of feminism, because of this sort of creating androgynous cultures with the social justice left, telling men you should cry, you should be more sensitive.
02:03:35.000they didn't have that good foundation of what a healthy relationship actually is.
02:03:41.000They're not really sure what to do, but it didn't absolve the man of teaching them how to do man stuff.
02:03:47.000Um, and I don't mean chugging beer, but I mean, you know, you know, we were responsible providing.
02:03:52.000Well, we were talking about cussing earlier.
02:03:55.000I don't cuss around women, I don't know, just because, again, it's a way I was raised.
02:04:00.000There are some times, and we've had conversations where, listen, it gets, you know, a joke gets rolling, but I would never act that way with someone I don't know, and I'll just see other guys doing it and talking with a girl, trying to pick them up.
02:05:05.000Those moments you grew up as a man that teach you what it means to care for things, be responsible, take care of others, you know, if it's your mom's thing.
02:05:12.000Well, Courtney, you're a woman, and so obviously your mom taught you how to be a woman, but did your dad teach you What it is to be a man, what to look for in a man?
02:05:20.000Is that why you think you're a little more, I guess people would say picky, but I just think have actual standards.
02:05:24.000Did your dad instill that in you, or is that just something you kind of discovered?
02:05:28.000My mom would pull me and my sister aside every once in a while when she was dealing with my dad and say, she actually said a couple of times, take notes.
02:05:37.000So I think a lot of people haven't had that with their parents.
02:05:49.000So, I have this expectation, I guess, of the person, the man that I marry, to be a provider, to play with his children, to be a good husband.
02:05:59.000These are just, you know, people say they're high standards now, and that, I guess, is.
02:06:22.000Not that I'm the perfect husband, but I will say this.
02:06:24.000Something that people don't really accept now, too, with marriage, and it stems back to millennials, this idea that, you know, you're perfect just the way you are.
02:09:15.000Sprinters, fine, but the long-distance runners, if that's all they do, they always run down this block without shirts, and Jared's been with me, I always yell, get a shirt, with a body like that, get a shirt on!
02:12:48.000People are asking, because I talked about this earlier, with YouTube and how much does it affect our income, people we employ, and we talked about if we were to ever go daily with a network.
02:12:57.000So, I know we've been talking about this, you know, hashtag NeverDaily, and people are saying, hey, listen, stop screwing around.
02:14:11.000We always talk about what's kind of the takeaway.
02:14:13.000A lot of people are talking about, when we look at the tweets, we look at some of the responses saying, you know, hey, that making more pie stuff.
02:14:19.000I didn't invent the making more pie analogy.
02:14:28.000Dave Rubin saying liberalism versus leftism.
02:14:31.000Okay, I know different terminology means different things to all different people.
02:14:35.000So I want you to don't get mad if I say liberal when I mean leftist or conservative.
02:14:39.000You understand what I'm talking about.
02:14:41.000Freedom, anti-authoritarian, conservative, Republican, let's put it on that side, Democrat, liberal, leftist, social, let's put it on that side, and you can understand where I'm coming from.
02:14:50.000A fundamental difference is a finite view of the world.
02:14:54.000A view of this is it, therefore we need to draw from this.
02:14:59.000Whether it's oil, we only have this much energy.
02:15:03.000Whether it is intellectual capacity, we only have these many people.
02:15:10.000Whether it is the economy, we only have so many jobs.
02:16:12.000Right now, there is something on planet Earth that doesn't exist that could exist tomorrow in a way that is quantifiable because of an idea.
02:16:38.000Yeah, there are raw materials, there are sources that, you know, you have to go and you have to send little Chen, unfortunately, to a mine where it's likely going to collapse.
02:16:45.000I don't know, and you have to send the canaries back to make sure he's okay, then you take him out and you make him build a wind turbine.
