On this week's show, we discuss the latest in the Anthony Weiner scandal, including the revelation that the FBI is looking into whether or not to reopen the case against former Congressman Anthony Weiner. We also discuss the new details in the Hillary Clinton e-mail scandal, and why we should care.
00:04:46.000And isn't it great that they're not rigged?
00:04:48.000Because now it means that Donald Trump, and no one really believes that anymore if you actually look at the people who support Trump, they're all citing the polls right now.
00:04:56.000And the thing about the polls is they have followed these controversies to a T. They wouldn't change if they were rigged.
00:05:01.000They may not be accurate all the time.
00:05:13.000Not every poll shows him ahead, but it's put a lot of states into play.
00:05:17.000And if you want to believe the conspiracy theory, and it's a fundamentally very under...
00:05:21.000It's unintelligent that, well, they're oversampling Democrats by 15, so when it's even it means he's up 15.
00:05:25.000Okay, the only way for that to be true is if Donald Trump wins Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, and he wins it by at least 12.
00:05:31.000If that happens, then you're right about the polls.
00:05:33.000If it doesn't happen, I'm right that they didn't try and rig the polls and now go back and try and make it more accurate before election, even though they were doing a plus 15 before.
00:05:41.000I think the totality of the polls have been relatively accurate, and I think that's a great thing because now we see Donald Trump really has a shot.
00:05:49.000And I think, oh my gosh, with Hillary Clinton, this just shows Donald Trump is not without his flaws, but she is the most corrupt being to ever seek office.
00:05:56.000It is unreal, the level of corruption.
00:06:00.000It makes the water look like child's play.
00:06:02.000It does make it look like child's play.
00:10:30.000What's so clear right now is Hillary Clinton is so unbelievably corrupt, and you have Louis C.K., and you have Amy Schumer, and you have Lena Dunham going up saying she's actually a great person.
00:10:41.000And that's what's hurting Hillary Clinton more than anything.
00:10:43.000And that's why we've not done that with Trump because if we say he's great and he's likable and he's run his businesses with aplomb, no one buys it.
00:10:51.000And you lose people who are willing to listen if you're a cheerleader.
00:10:55.000Do you know how many thousands upon thousands of emails and tweets you've gotten saying, you know what, I'm going to vote for Trump now because he's a lesser of two evils.
00:11:25.000And I think that's what's helped Trump recently, is the cheerleading has stopped and people have gone, well, Hillary Clinton is just so damn bad.
00:12:15.000You don't have to be a doomsday prepper to want to be prepared.
00:12:18.000Natural disaster, riots, any kind of civil unrest, it just helps to have peace of mind and know that if you need it, you've got a 30-day supply of food.
00:12:28.000And that's why right now with a promotional offer from louderwithcrowder.com, you can call 888-457-3453 or go to preparewithcr.com.
00:12:37.000That's 888-457-3453 or go to preparewithcr.com.
00:12:42.000You can get your 30-day full supply of food.
00:16:26.000The Obamacare actual people in the program, the enrollees, so Obamacare, the subsidization program effectively, they're going to see their premiums go up about 25%.
00:16:34.000He's asked about that on the interview, and here's where the BS meter starts going.
00:17:52.000We should be in a position where we are providing a greater subsidy for young people to get into the marketplace that can't afford to get in, because when they're in, what that does is bring in a whole group of healthy people into Okay, pause.
00:18:08.000This is what, first off, I love how a solution is.
00:20:01.000If those fixes aren't made, though, the trend line is not, if things stay as they are, no legislation to fix those problems you've identified, then it seems in peril.
00:20:10.000Well, no, I don't think it's in peril.
00:20:12.000It's not working as well as it should, because here's what happens.
00:20:15.000You still have no one can be denied health care for pre-existing condition in or out of the system.
00:20:22.000You still have children being able to stay on their parents' health care until they're age 26.
00:20:27.000You still have women not being able to be charged more than men.
00:21:41.000Female health care is far more expensive.
00:21:43.000So Obamacare, who could have seen this going up?
00:21:45.000Well, you have to take sick people, you can't charge women more even though they use more, and we're going to subsidize it more causing record inflation.
00:22:46.000How do you know it wasn't the Russians?
00:22:48.000Well, we suspected as much until we noticed there was a tattoo on the left cheek which read Donna Brazile rocking it since 1959, which narrowed down the possibilities.
00:24:18.000Because you've been remarkably consistent, and you were critical of Trump in the primaries when he stepped out of line.
00:24:24.000Now you're supporting him where you can.
00:24:25.000It seems like that's pretty rare these days.
00:24:28.000You're either all in, or you're all never Trump.
00:24:33.000Well, I'm all never tyranny, and so you've got to sort through these elections and try and figure out what's the best position or the best candidate we can back.
00:24:41.000We constitutional conservatives, we don't have a candidate in this race, so I don't make any excuses for that.
00:25:26.000And one of the things that has kind of bothered me, the last book I wrote, Plunder and Deceit, which was really for younger people, If you want to resist authoritarianism, you should be resisting centralized, iron-fisted government.
00:27:23.000That's why, I mean, independence, we ought to go back to the founding.
00:27:26.000If we go back to the founding, believe it or not, they were more libertarian, more conservative, more individualism, more private property rights.
00:27:36.000And if we don't send this message, not just to younger people, but to all people, then what the hell do we stand for?
00:27:57.000Freeze distillation is they would take, you know, they'd take the cider and to distill it, what they would, George Washington, this is, which amazes me because they don't make Applejack anymore.
00:28:04.000He used to make this, the best Applejack.
00:28:06.000You take the cider and then you freeze it Leave it out in the snow.
00:28:10.000What happened is the water freezes off and you're left with a concentrated liquor apparently gave the worst hangover because it's not a very refined method.
00:28:19.000Unlike you, Mark, my knowledge is almost entirely useless when put into practice.
00:28:24.000You know, I was talking about that last week.
00:28:25.000There's a disconnect there where I think young people, and maybe that's why, you know, the libertarians have had a real opportunity until what is Aleppo?
00:28:33.000What you're talking about is identified by young people more as libertarianism because their closest example of a Republican sort of conservative would be George W. Bush, not a bad man, but not necessarily someone who adheres to kind of the constitutionalism you're talking about.
00:28:51.000No, I think it's very fair, and One of the things I'm trying to do, and you're able to do it better given that your audience and so forth, is make the point that younger people, all people, but younger people in particular, should be conservatives.
00:29:06.000But the way we talk about conservatism, it sounds like old school.
00:29:10.000It sounds like, you know, stuck in the mud.
00:30:48.000If Republicans just got the under-40 vote, if they just lost it, meaning they only got 40% of that vote, as opposed to 18 to 32, as Donald Trump is, you'd never lose another election.
00:30:59.000If they could get 45% of the under-40 vote, it wouldn't even be close.
00:31:03.000But we're always talking about the black vote, the Latino vote, and going, hold on!
00:31:06.000All racial barriers, gender lines, it's that under-40, it's not even close, and I never hear a strategist talk about it.
00:31:15.000First of all, if you're bringing people into the country who are very poor or illiterate in their own language, the government and the Democrats are opposed to assimilation.
00:31:26.000It's very, very hard to appeal to people like that in any way because there's a lack of communication.
00:31:32.000You have ethnic front groups that are heavily financed by the government or tax-exempt groups, and this is the way they want it.
00:31:40.000hand, it would be nice if Republicans and even conservatives, whoever they are, wherever they are, would start to communicate with people in real life terms and link it to principles.
00:31:50.000So what is the difference between a conservative and a liberal?
00:31:54.000The liberals have somehow created the mindset that they're for liberal stuff.
00:31:59.000In other words, culturally, they're liberal and so forth.
00:32:35.000Younger people should understand and can understand.
00:32:38.000You realize that we are deceiving you and we are plundering your future?
00:32:43.000They talk about free college and free this and free that with a $20 trillion fiscal operating debt, a $200 trillion unfunded liability debt.
00:32:52.000I know that sounds monotonous, but the fact of the matter is it's going to crush you, not me, you.
00:33:04.000And it's funny, when I talk with my grandparents, I guess, rest in peace, or my grandmother-in-law, even if I make the joke, I go, oh, yeah, they got their Social Security check one week.
00:33:27.000And so I think a pivotal moment in the last election, this is me as this, you know, sort of ham-fisted caveman compared to your degrees here.
00:33:35.000When Rick Perry talked about Social Security and he said, listen, it's going to be gone.
00:33:52.000And I realized it was a demographic issue where they were saying, we can't scare older people.
00:33:57.000We need to really pander the Social Security and kick that tin can down the trail.
00:34:02.000And for me, that was a defining moment where, like you said, I felt like I was being lied to by the Republicans in the same way that the Democrats do.
00:34:09.000Well, the thing is, there's really two Social Security funds, and people may not know this.
00:34:14.000The summer before last, the disability fund went broke.
00:34:18.000So it's now being funded by general taxes.
00:34:26.000This is a conversation that we ought to have in a non-election cycle, but conservatives ought to talk about it and not say, we're going to take anything from it, but can we at least have a discussion about what's going on?
00:34:37.000But no, apparently we can't have a discussion about what's going on.
00:34:41.000Part of the problem we have is the Praetorian Guard media.
00:34:44.000I think the WikiLeaks stuff has shown that the media, for the most part, is in the camp of the left and in the camp of the Democrat Party.
00:34:51.000You've got them handing questions during the debate process to Hillary Clinton.
00:34:57.000You've got Borgia at CNN. I always knew she was not so great.
00:35:01.000But you have Borgia at CNN writing Podesta.
00:36:08.000The silver lining here, win, lose, or draw, like you just said, I think people who didn't have eyes to see or ears to hear now, I hear people going, yeah, I see it with CNN. I see it with ABC, NBC, CBS. The media is clearly trying to drag Hillary across the finish line.
00:36:22.000So even if she wins, I think the trust in the media is irreparably damaged.
00:36:26.000Would you say that's at least a plus here?
00:36:29.000Yeah, which is why a few of us are trying to start these little operations to at least compete with it.
00:36:35.000I think the new media is usually pretty good, but I think some of the new media has gotten the old media habits already.
00:39:06.000You're only looking at one third of it, let me tell you.
00:39:09.000Gosh, okay, so you've got the bookcase.
00:39:11.000So this is, for people who don't know, Mark Levin has been on radio for, I mean, longer than I can even remember, written fantastic New York Times bestselling books, but now he has a nightly show at CRTV.com, or really you can get it whenever because it's online.
00:39:24.000So this is the studio, right, for the Mark Levin show at CRTV. This is the studio.
00:39:29.000It's about two-thirds bigger than it needs to be, but here we are.
00:41:37.000And we were talking about the days he was on the Wheaties box and everything like that, when he was in the Olympics and so forth and so on.
00:41:45.000They're sitting there with the executive producer, I guess from the Kardashians.
00:41:48.000My daughter knows everything that's going on, and we left and I said, I don't know what he's doing to his face, but he's starting to look like a girl.
00:42:00.000There was that, you know, obviously there was Bruce Jenner, and there was Caitlyn Jenner, and right in between there was that Tilda Swinton era.
00:42:16.000Did you know this about the trans thing?
00:42:17.000Most of them never actually go through with the surgery.
00:42:19.000And so we had an actual psychiatrist on who's dealt with these people and said, yeah, a vast majority of them don't go through with the surgery.
00:42:25.000So I asked, well, then at that point, she said most of them don't do the hormone replacement therapy.
00:42:29.000I said, okay, so what's the difference between a modern transgender and, you know, a transvestite who just looked like a woman?
00:42:35.000She said, really, none, except we file it as it's, you know, gender dysphoria, and oh my gosh, the letters you would have seen that the psychiatrist got.
00:42:44.000Well, this is always fascinating to me, and...
00:43:39.000But we wanted to start small, get on platforms, get the younger people as well as others.
00:43:44.000And so this is a TV program that you can watch on, you know, your iPhone, your Android, your iPad, your laptop, your PC. Also, Samsung smart TVs.
00:43:57.000We've worked out a deal with them now where you can hit, you'll be in December, you'll be able to hit the icon on the Smart Hub and watch CRTV and watch all the programs.
00:45:00.000We're sick and tired of just the screaming on cable or the left-wing agenda on cable or the pretend news on cable and network news and satellite news.
00:45:10.000So we wanted to give people an opportunity to watch something else.
00:45:14.000And, of course, they're really going to want to watch it if they get it because they're actually paying for it.
00:45:19.000They're not paying for the commercials indirectly.
00:46:06.000For Breaking News on Louder Wolf Powder, I'm Perry Matheson.
00:46:29.000We're taking now live to a Secretary Hillary Clinton press conference in which Hillary discusses the reopening of the FBI's investigation into her email debacle.
00:46:42.000Thank you all for being here, and I think we are on the path to victory!
00:46:50.000And I think that if you look at the situation, it's pretty clear that this investigation has only been reopened under the guise of sexism.
00:50:20.000We'll talk about, some people are asking us on the Twitter there, I think Christian Eldridge was asking us, or Chewbacca's lover, about the Samantha Bee interview with Obama.
00:50:38.000It was one of the most shared things we wrote this week.
00:50:41.000It's no secret that Ladder with Crowder has been censored by Facebook or been targeted for selective oppression by Facebook.
00:50:48.000It's technically not the government, so it's not censorship.
00:50:50.000But that was on Drudge, Gizmodo, you know, it was all over the place that Ladder with Crowder was fingered by Facebook as a page to throttle.
00:50:59.000We're fighting that legally behind the scenes.
00:51:00.000In some ways a metaphoric middle finger.
00:51:30.000One thing, we can't really show the screenshots.
00:51:33.000Google has blocked or suspended louderwithcredit.com from being promoted online, you know, in any kind of ads due to gun-related imagery, and I don't know, they gave another reason.
00:51:43.000I think we have an email sign-up thing there.
00:53:15.000But it's indicative of the collusion that's occurring with Facebook, we know, Twitter, we know, and now YouTube, particularly in this election.
00:53:22.000If you look at the featured section on YouTube, the trending, it's just John Oliver, Seth Meyers, Samantha Bee, non-nonstop HuffPost video, BuzzFeed.
00:53:31.000And what they're doing is clearly targeting us because we're being effective.
00:53:34.000Really, Louder With Crowder is the most effective individual conservative YouTube channel.
00:53:38.000You've got Paul Joseph Watson does great stuff.
00:53:40.000There are some other bigger channels that are parts of non-profits or big networks.
00:53:50.000They've made many, many hundreds of thousands of dollars off of our videos because they've monetized them.
00:53:55.000So they've chosen to court us as users of YouTube as opposed to a different platform by offering to pay people to bring their content there.
00:54:07.000They can kick anyone they want, but you can't entice people by offering them monetary compensation and then selectively targeting voices of dissent.
00:54:15.000So we want you to know if you're subscribed on YouTube, you know, Just join Facebook mailing lists.
00:54:20.000Make sure you have some other fail-safe because every now and then people just aren't getting our stuff and it's out of our control.
00:54:26.000It's not a fear-mongering thing, but it is important to remember that, you know, while this is not government censorship, these are all the same.
00:54:56.000It's happening in this sector, in the private sector first, but it's not too far off and too unrealistic to see them pushing more of this stuff.
00:55:06.000Silicon Valley and the entertainment industry is far more influential than D.C. And that's why we don't get as tied up about the election because...
00:55:14.000Culture is always more important, and regardless of who wins, you're always going to have the Comedy Central, ABC, NBC, CBS, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube.
00:57:04.000You might want to stay tuned for the announcement.
00:57:06.000We are going to give you the opportunity to be more active and take a part in this movement.
00:57:10.000Because I know all of you talk about...
00:57:12.000Twitter and Facebook and you've had pages removed and you've been banned and you've had your colleges block our site.
00:57:17.000Or to our troops, thanks so much who listen.
00:57:18.000A lot of them have to only do it through iTunes direct download because the website's been banned in a lot of countries or even on some military bases and government buildings.
00:57:42.000So it's been a tough week going into election.
00:57:44.000And we are fighting these battles on the legal front.
00:57:47.000So we don't go on social media and talk about it a whole bunch.
00:57:51.000We write about it once typically and then work from behind the scenes.
00:57:53.000We just want you to know that you may not be getting stuff that you're subscribed to right now.
00:57:58.000So wherever you're listening, iTunes right now, Radio Terrestrially, if you're on YouTube or on the website, just join somewhere else or two other places to make sure that you're safe.
00:58:14.000But it is the left who is consistently at the forefront of trying to silence voices of dissent.
00:58:21.000I would never, ever, if I were to have an open platform like YouTube, try and just silence people because I don't want the Young Turks to be in restricted mode.
00:58:28.000I don't want, what's that guy, secular talk who won't show up to debate.
00:58:45.000I mean, for crying out loud, we're playing hipster or hobo or spot the tranny half the time.
00:58:50.000And sometimes it's news political, but this is just the uphill.
00:58:52.000This comes also, I think, a lot from the battle of ideas between conservatism and liberalism, that conservatives generally rely on liberals hanging on themselves by their own words, whereas liberals generally have to rely on the collapse of information, the control of information, that you can't get to it.
00:59:09.000So, by all means, you know, Chink, speak up.
00:59:20.000Like, the FBI has found emails relating to Hillary Clinton's State Department tenure through this laptop.
00:59:28.000They don't know if these emails are relevant to the investigation, but this does look like there's more there with the laptop.
00:59:38.000This is interesting with the FBI and Comey, because the left went from praising him for basically letting Hillary off the hook to now they hate him and they want to prosecute him and conservatives love him.
00:59:50.000I think there's been a bit of a switch there, too.
00:59:51.000I wonder what Tim Kennedy thinks about this, the Code Pink thing.
00:59:55.000We've been getting these anti-military memes, and they're from some pro-Trump people.
01:00:00.000Like, these people just died for oil, vote Trump, which is weird to me.
01:00:04.000I get being anti-war, but there's been some flippings of ideas, which I find interesting.
01:00:09.000We'll talk about Samantha Bee and Lena Dunham next.
01:02:05.000And he draws them in a way that's particularly angry, is the only way to describe it.
01:02:10.000And I said, we're going to have to talk about this with the Elena Dunham video, and I want you to run the search for Carol Dunham pictures from her dad, paintings, and not be Jared.
01:02:20.000He totally tried to play it off like he thought I wouldn't catch it.
01:02:22.000He goes, ah, you know, I just can't import it into the TriCaster, and I think, I said, you just don't want to look at the angry vaginas that her dad draws, right?
01:03:05.000You should be proud your dad's a pervert.
01:03:10.000Yeah, straight white men who created the internet that you're using to distribute this, who created the technology that you're using to draw that, who created the style of artwork that influenced you to create that, who created the phone on which your daughter is tweeting, who created the laptop on which your daughter is working.
01:03:25.000You're sure, of course, women have contributed to it, but, yeah, you know what?
01:03:28.000Straight white men have done a whole lot.
01:03:29.000Not saying gay people haven't, not saying black people haven't, not saying women haven't, but the idea that straight white men need to go extinct, you...
01:05:32.000Well, have you noticed that even like the socialist rally we went to, it's like every person is something different on the checkbox of I'm a, you know...
01:07:58.000It's like, how do you set up a TBS? Click.
01:07:59.000Well, I remember I came home with my ex-girlfriend, and her dad said, we used to watch movies a lot, and her dad said, ah, what did you rent?
01:11:12.000Yeah, this is as miserable as I get right here.
01:11:17.000You were telling us off air, yeah, your face looks all, you're looking like the machinist Christian Bale, for people who don't know.
01:11:22.000He has a big fight coming up in the UFC against Rashad Evans, one of the best light heavyweights of all time, and you are cutting down to 185.
01:11:30.000So you said your calories usually, what, about 6,000 a day?
01:14:15.000And I did a show in Albany, New York, and that, what's his name, not Sheldon Silver, the other guy, who was like, the thing is, it's violent.
01:14:21.000He called in to a local radio show in Albany to debate with me why MMA shouldn't be legal.
01:14:27.000And I just tore him apart and he just hung up.
01:14:33.000People don't realize politically it shows you how much power the unions wield.
01:14:36.000Really quick for people who don't know, the Culinary Union hated the Fertittas who own the UFC because they own the biggest non-union gaming casinos in Vegas.
01:14:43.000And they threw their political weight around in New York.
01:15:12.000I don't think we'll get you into any trouble.
01:15:13.000You've talked about how the UFC needs to do some things.
01:15:16.000And even though, as a conservative, you're not really pro-union, there were some issues that a lot of fighters came together to deal with with the UFC. So it's like, well, I don't want to deal with the culinary union.
01:15:24.000But the UFC did have some issues with a lot of fighters.
01:16:00.000Yeah, for 25 minutes, I humiliated Michael Bisping, and he is the current UFC middleweight champion.
01:16:05.000And that is an insult to every barrel-chested freedom fighter that's proud to be American that we have Michael Bisping as the champion.
01:16:15.000So in addition to being at Madison Square Garden, in addition to fighting Rashad Evans' first fight in New York… A win here, my only loss in the UFC is a super controversial one to Yoel Romero.
01:16:28.000So this big win here, I think, could propel really into a title contention.
01:16:34.000And that would be the easiest fight in the entire division is against Michael Bisbing, the champion.
01:16:40.000So if I get to hopscotch a couple of dudes that are ranked ahead of me and be able to fight Michael Bisbing, now Tim Kennedy...
01:16:48.000We were talking about this when Chael was on, and he actually, I don't know if we talked about it on air, he said, yeah, smart money would be on Tim on that.
01:16:56.000He said, yeah, Tim is just a real, if you look, and I think he even said he scored, I don't know if it was the Jacare fight for you, but he had a lot of kind of stuff to say on the fighting side.
01:17:05.000And he was like, well, you know, he just can't get out of his own way with the UFC and the talking.
01:17:08.000And I was like, well, you know, I think he'd be the first to admit that.
01:17:11.000That's probably why you haven't been in the cage.
01:17:19.000This is a big fight for people who don't know, and it's a big issue, and there's a lot of politics at play with the unions and the sale of the UFC, and for Tim to be able to fight.
01:17:27.000Of course, you know, American, I guess you'd say American war hero.
01:17:31.000We don't like to laud the praise on people.
01:17:33.000So Michael Bisping has gone and entertained the troops.
01:17:35.000Like, he seems like he's grown up a little bit.
01:17:42.000I'm going to have to disagree with you here.
01:17:45.000I think he's the same child of an athlete that he's always been.
01:17:50.000He's an entitled professional athlete.
01:17:53.000I don't think he's ever developed as a fighter.
01:17:56.000And somebody that only is a professional athlete, you see it in the NFL. Fortunately, it hasn't really been that contagious like a virus that has gone into too many other sports.
01:18:08.000But you see these entitled little rich brats that forget what the real world is like.
01:19:47.000And I think those have been some of the things that maybe deteriorated when he got a little bit comfortable wearing a suit and being behind a microphone.
01:20:17.000We can pivot to that because last time you were on this show, you said think about who could – this was when they were still in the primaries.
01:20:23.000Think about who could be president and think about killing yourself.
01:20:27.000So we know that applied to Hillary Clinton, but you, I think you were a Rand Paul guy, if I'm not mistaken.
01:20:45.000A year ago, or not even, eight months ago, when you looked at the potential candidates, I was just like, man, in eight months from now, there's a meme that's going around, and it shows these two guys, When we're in our concentration camps, hopefully we can still be friends.
01:21:02.000And then the second part is it shows a bunch of kids from Red Dawn, and they're like, no, no, I have different plans for the internment camps.
01:21:11.000Trump and Hillary kind of were my worst nightmares for the two potential candidates.
01:21:17.000And just this week, Donald Trump came here to Albuquerque, New Mexico...
01:21:22.000And I had the opportunity to speak at his rally and talk to him, shake his hand, take some pictures with him.
01:21:29.000But I went there like a little negative Nancy.
01:22:38.000At the end of the night, I was confused because I was mad that I was there.
01:22:41.000I was upset that I was going in the first place.
01:22:45.000And then I was confused why I was so impressed with, not the production, but I talked to one of his staff members and his staff member was like, this is the company that I work for.
01:22:56.000I'm like, well, then how did you come and do this?
01:23:04.000He's like, well, because I was the best at what I did.
01:23:07.000And just person after person was like that.
01:23:11.000I wanted to be part of something bigger and greater than myself or I'm the best at what I did and he poached me from the company that I worked at.
01:24:00.000It could be just some outliers, but it seems like there's been a swap.
01:24:03.000And I'm interested to hear military perspective on that, if we think that maybe there's not only a realigning with sort of middle-class voters, but who the military seems to support.
01:24:14.000Although, I mean, they've always supported the republic.
01:26:34.000You know, what he's saying, he's not saying...
01:26:37.000Yeah, he's not saying pull out or he's not saying remove.
01:26:41.000What he said the other night was if we're going to be in a war, if we're going to be in Iraq, if we're going to fight ISIS, if we're going to be in Syria, if we're going to be in Pakistan, if we're going to be in North Africa, we're going there to win.
01:26:50.000So it's no longer we're sending troops over there to sustain some level of democracy that's going to be diminishing over time and costing taxpayers billions and billions and billions of dollars.
01:27:11.000Have you noticed that there is some sentiment, maybe from more new sort of, I guess, populists of the movement who are like, oh, these needless wars and these people died in vain.
01:27:19.000That was kind of pretty big in the Bush years.
01:27:21.000And the last time you were on, you're like, well, no.
01:27:23.000Do you feel that that's a small faction?
01:27:27.000Have you noticed kind of that the tables turn, right, where Hillary's a little more, almost in a way, pro kind of our troops abroad?
01:29:08.000There's nothing there for us to be fighting over.
01:29:11.000So the only reason that we would be there is either to spend money on military stuff or to try to slow down the growth of The radicals and the Islamists that were there.
01:29:25.000Which we did to a degree and for a while that's what we were doing.
01:29:28.000But then things changed where now we're just buying $4 million vehicles and leaving them over there just for the sake of buying them.
01:29:58.000So it becomes like any government bureaucracy where at a certain point it's like, all right, baseline budgeting, we've got to run out the ammo boxes and let's go back and toss a few names on our belt.
01:32:07.000How about we just get the truth and then we make an educated vote about who the best person is to represent our country?
01:32:14.000It takes foreign governments and hacker groups to be able to tell us what the hell is going on.
01:32:20.000So do you think there's been a change where the military used to be pretty, you know, they did not like Julian Assange and now they're like, well, maybe he's doing the Lord's work.
01:36:41.000As a matter of fact, the reason you may be hearing some technical difficulties this week could be because we've had to get rid of some things because of a transition to someplace.
01:36:51.000So just forgive us if it sounds a little bit different, if it looks a little bit different.
01:37:44.000One of the articles that we wrote about that went viral, so Vox, Jared has the image up here, Vox did this sort of experiment, or they wrote about this experiment, male birth control injections.
01:37:57.000So it said, in their defense, here the headline reads, we still do not have male birth control, but no, it's not because men are wimps.
01:38:04.000It was trending all over the place, although the reaction was, it's because men are wimps.
01:38:08.000320 men who participated in the research reported a whopping 1,491 adverse effects.
01:38:14.000Nearly a quarter experienced pain at the injection site, nearly half got acne, more than 20% had a mood disorder, and 15% reported muscle pain.
01:38:20.000Other side effects included testicular pain, night sweats, and confusion.
01:38:23.000One study participant died by suicide in the fine print.
01:38:34.000I've heard women, I actually talked with a waitress at Buffalo Wild Wings today saying, you know, well, why aren't men using birth control?
01:39:23.000I have talked about this time and time again, and we've talked about this, that actually the brain changes occur after cross hormone replacement therapy.
01:39:32.000We've talked about it with psychiatrists.
01:39:34.000So if you're talking about birth control, which is nowhere near as severe as hormone replacement therapy with estrogen for men...
01:39:41.000Do you have any idea how horrible and toxic that is?
01:39:43.000The only difference is here, it suits the narrative for Vox to say, well, you know what, yeah, men have birth control, so women handle it better, so it's good for women to do birth control, not men.
01:39:51.000It doesn't suit their narrative when you say, well, what about estrogen directly injected into their testicles, however?
01:39:56.000Well, no, no, no, the jury's still out.
01:39:58.000No, depression, they talk about suicide in this study.
01:40:01.000Suicide is sky high in the transgender community, and it doesn't get better after cross-sex hormone replacement therapy.
01:41:57.000That's pretty much what these bits were.
01:42:00.000Who'd have thought that promoting Bud Light, which is a horrible beer that's typically only consumed by frat douches and absolute morons who don't understand that there's better beer, people who are easily manipulated by marketing, sorry, Bud Light is the worst beer on the planet.
01:42:13.000And I mean worse than PBR, I mean worse than Stroh's, than bottom shelf.
01:42:18.000There's actually cheap beer that's decent, Bud Light is horrible, and you pay more for that stupid aluminum bottle, which used to be called the can.
01:42:54.000And something else really telling about this, if you look at the numbers, craft beer is taking a much more significant portion of the marketplace.
01:43:01.000That's a generational change where kids want to have more of the lifestyle their grandparents had.
01:43:06.000There's that middle generation where everything was mass consumed, let's keep it cheap, let's keep it easy off a factory line.
01:43:12.000Your grandparents, you know, likely a lot of them made their own beer.
01:43:15.000A lot of them actually had local beer because they didn't have the same kind of mass distribution or your great-grandparents.
01:43:20.000Then it went, everyone drank Schlitz for a while.
01:44:55.000The idea is that there's this movement called Black Lives Matter, thinking that the rest of America didn't seem to understand that Black Lives Matter.
01:45:37.000That's what it tells me about Lil Wayne.
01:45:38.000I bet you behind closed doors, Lil Wayne's a Trump fan and he's tired of the professional victimhood.
01:45:43.000I bet you behind closed doors, you get Lil Wayne ranting.
01:45:46.000I mean, obviously his inhibitions were lowered here, but I picture playing closed doors, you get Lil Wayne going, you know, I'm tired of the Black Lives Matter, man.
01:45:54.000I make money, it's all white girls show up to my concert.
01:45:58.000It'll come at me down here with that dumb mother...
01:46:01.000You know he does not have any tolerance for it.
01:46:58.000But Lil Wayne, I mean, I wonder that with a lot of...
01:47:00.000You have people who peel back the curtain with Larry Elder or Tommy Sotomayor.
01:47:05.000You know, people who are successful, black people, but particularly people like Lil Wayne who've made their success almost entirely from white people.
01:47:13.000Capitalism, again, compassionately, voluntarily supporting Lil Wayne with their dollar.
01:47:18.000To me, there couldn't be any more beautiful, simple, distilled example of bridging the racial divide.
01:48:22.000Well, I was made aware that during your tenure here at Surprise Parties Incorporated, you were notifying all our clients of the impending surprise parties.
01:48:30.000I don't even have to be persecuted, though!
01:48:34.000You understand that as a surprise party planner, the main functional purpose of your role is to ensure that That the party remains a surprise.
01:48:44.000I thought it would help them if I let them know, though.
01:48:46.000Well, we're aware of that, as we've seen that you've emailed not only the people hosting the surprise parties, but all of their subsequent guests as well.
01:51:23.000No, we have actually tapes we're releasing today, tomorrow, and Monday, and Tuesday, and...
01:51:30.000So this is not the last one, although we had a press conference yesterday in North Carolina featuring the video you just saw, this guy comparing black people to Nazis and saying that they're effed in the head if they don't agree with certain politics.
01:51:43.000And it's prompted the senator who's running – this is like the most contested Senate race in North Carolina.
01:51:47.000It's a very tight race in North Carolina.
01:51:49.000In fact, Trump is totally running neck and neck.
01:51:51.000It's prompted the Democratic Senate candidate to return that guy's money.
01:51:55.000And there's a whole bunch of drama there, which I can talk about.
01:51:58.000No, we have videos coming out every day.
01:52:00.000We sort of have this trove of videos that we've held onto for about a year, and we're releasing them right now.
01:52:08.000I know you can't give us too much of a sneak preview.
01:52:10.000Would you say anything more damning is the best yet to come, or is it just sort of you're just going to keep dripping it?
01:52:17.000We're just going to keep dripping it, but the way we work is that we've had a dozen people working full-time, sometimes inside of these different campaigns, embedded as interns, as overseas financial contributors, as donors, as political consultants, and they've built relationships.
01:52:35.000So some of these things are literally just inside the campaign.
01:52:38.000Some of these things are at their private fundraisers because we believe that people are going to be more honest, and it's important for a democracy to show what people actually think and believe about their constituents and how it sometimes opposes what their views are.
01:52:52.000So a lot of this is Senate races and congressional races stuff that we're releasing over the next few days.
01:52:56.000I do the same thing, except I send in Zhang Yi and his journey for Bernie.
01:53:00.000He spent nine hours at a Bernie Sanders rally.
01:53:02.000They rolled him right up to Bernie Sanders, and no one suspected.
01:53:21.000I thought, okay, because in the context, he's basically saying, well, listen, black people who vote Republican are voting against their own self-interest.
01:53:28.000It's effed in the head for them to do that.
01:53:41.000I mean, I think they all have different purposes.
01:53:45.000It probably wasn't as big of an impact as the other ones, but I think this one, it just shows what people actually think and feel about their constituents.
01:53:53.000We showed it to African Americans in North Carolina, and they were outraged, and it's very powerful.
01:53:58.000If you look at the video, the guy goes, so that's what they actually think about us.
01:54:02.000It's prompted a reaction from the senator, but the reason...
01:54:04.000What happened was yesterday, the day before yesterday, Senator Ross, this is a Senate candidate in North Carolina, She was on CNN talking about a hidden camera, hidden audio of the Republican candidate.
01:54:19.000Saying, let's go to target practice and shoot at Hillary's face.
01:54:23.000And this was like a hidden audio of his staff.
01:54:26.000So she was all over TV talking about this.
01:54:38.000So he's talking about, let's go play target practice and Hillary.
01:54:41.000So this was 24 hours before this video came out.
01:54:44.000So it's sort of a guerrilla warfare that Veritas is engaged in because the media is just having a field day.
01:54:49.000Mainstream media is talking about this audio tape so that 24 hours later we release our audio tape showing someone within the other side doing something that's compromising and probably far more inflammatory, right?
01:55:02.000So a lot of the stuff Veritas does on the state level, a lot of stuff is on the local level.
01:55:07.000It doesn't mean there needs to be national news everywhere.
01:55:09.000It means that we get thousands of tips across the country.
01:55:12.000You need to come to my municipality or my state and expose this thing.
01:55:16.000But it certainly is relevant because the media has one standard for Hillary target practice.
01:55:21.000And of course, on this video, they don't want to play it at all because it's very damaging.
01:55:39.000They're just praying there's not another earthquake and Bill shows up.
01:55:42.000Well, do you think at a certain point, though...
01:55:46.000Because some of the videos that you've released, like I said, I'm just being fully honest, like this one wasn't, I watched it and I was like, I get that's important more in North Carolina.
01:55:52.000The other ones that I saw we covered, you know, had a much bigger reaction, I think on a national scale, like you said, and I understand the strategy behind it.
01:55:59.000Do you think, though, that sometimes what you do falls more on deaf ears because of the clickbait culture?
01:56:04.000Because everything's a scandal, everything's a blow-up, and so when there is actually something that's pivotal that you do, it doesn't cut through.
01:56:13.000For example, like when Acorn happened, Everyone had to talk about it because no one was doing it.
01:56:18.000Now you have so many people faking scandals, both on the right and the left.
02:00:55.000It's not our mission to get people buttered, but if you can get someone to resign, that forces and triggers the mainstream media to cover, and that distinguishes maybe what we do from, as you point out, a lot of the stuff online is marketing and hype and aggregation.
02:01:12.0001% of it is actually real investigative journalism, and what we do is risky, it's dangerous, it's hard to scale, it's hard to train the people to do it.
02:01:22.000To not run afoul of the laws, you have to constantly be getting legal advice.
02:01:25.000There's a lot of things that go into making it work.
02:01:27.000Yeah, and like you said, sometimes strategically, you know, for example, we've covered, because obviously this election has been very big for you, but there are some times where you've done some videos that haven't been as big, and we've covered them a lot or with Crowder.com.
02:01:38.000Because we know that it's important, but we also know, man, this isn't going to be a big click piece because we have to do a lot of explaining, provide some context that can't be given in a headline.
02:01:47.000And so when people go out now and they just brag, look at our numbers, but they're not doing the work that's important.
02:01:52.000I mean, we do a lot of original content, and then we also try and feature mainly original content or imperative news.
02:01:58.000I noticed with a lot of those videos, and with, remember live action too, with the, not sure live action, Lila Rose.
02:02:07.000After the first video, a lot of people didn't cover it anymore, and it was still important.
02:02:12.000So there is a point now, I think, that has changed from when you and I, to different capacities, worked with Andrew Breitbart, when it's entirely click-based, sometimes things that are more important get lost.
02:02:25.000Sometimes things that are more important get lost.
02:04:20.000Let me just say that regardless of who wins the election, I think it doesn't matter who wins the election.
02:04:25.000People have to see what's happening behind closed doors.
02:04:27.000That's what our job is, to educate the people, to change the system, because if they had any idea what was actually happening, if the Department of Justice walls could talk, we would be living in a different society because people would...
02:05:23.000I wanted to talk about something, you know, this week, today, actually, getting at Buffalo Wild Wings, this girl who was a feminist, I was talking with her, and she couldn't stand...
02:05:30.000She said, I have to vote for a murderer or a rapist, is what she said.
02:05:34.000And I said, so you do think Hillary Clinton killed people?
02:06:39.000The reason we try and be, even though this is a comedy show, we try and be objective when talking about these issues is because, again, it doesn't do us any favors to say, oh, everyone loves Trump or everyone loves...
02:06:48.000No, the general population are very, very negative on both of these candidates.
02:06:53.000And it doesn't matter how many tweets you put out.
02:06:54.000It doesn't matter what the rallies are.
02:06:59.000So you need to understand how people think, how people feel in order to be able to convince them.
02:07:04.000And our job is not to convince the hardcore Hillary fan or the hardcore Trump fan.
02:07:09.000Our goal is to just provide some information and entertainment to the vast majority of America, 80% of America, who...
02:07:16.000Are not enthusiastic about either of these candidates.
02:07:18.000And this is not to negate your point you just made, but have you noticed, like around here, I've noticed, I don't know if they've been taken down, but I've noticed a couple less Hillary signs the last couple weeks, and I have noticed a few more Trump ones popping up.
02:07:29.000Well, I'm amazed because, well, Western Michigan is way, way more conservative.
02:07:52.000Regardless of that, I do think the silver lining here really with this election is everyone sees that Hillary Clinton is as corrupt of a candidate as there has ever been.
02:08:30.000I think cable news, I think traditional media is going to be less relevant than ever, and so it's our job, meaning you, to carry that torch into the next phase, into the next generation, in a way that's responsible.
02:08:42.000So, to avoid clickbait, to avoid being dishonest, to avoid just making it about dollars, because then we're no better than cable news, but to actually try and seize this opportunity for the better.
02:08:52.000I think that's a wonderful thing, and I'm really excited about that with this election.
02:08:56.000I'm really excited that we'll be doing a live stream November 8th.
02:09:00.000Shapiro, Klavan, Anthony Cumia, Nick DiPaolo, Gavin, Dean Payne.
02:09:19.000This is something that I found curious.
02:09:21.000This comes from Politico by way of RightScoop.
02:09:25.000Hillary Clinton is doing really, really big in Florida with Latinos, a 60-30% advantage over Trump with Florida Hispanics, Puerto Ricans 71-19, which would suggest it's not illegal immigrants, it's not just a Mexican thing.
02:09:38.000But the real thing that I find curious is Cuban Americans, who are the most consistent Republican voting bloc, Probably outside of Mormons in the United States.
02:13:15.000We take you now live to a press conference being held by disgraced former Congressman Anthony Weiner as he addresses the scandals that have unfolded this past week.
02:13:27.000I'm very sorry to my family and constituents and who I may have embarrassed.
02:13:32.000No, Jimmy, we can't get a live mic feed on there.
02:13:37.000It seems that there's technical difficulties with his sounds.
02:13:40.000I'll be forced to provide you with narration.
02:13:43.000Okay, it seems Anthony Weiner is apologizing right now, asking for forgiveness, and appears to be throwing an image on the projector in order to assist with, and it's his dick.
02:18:25.000People don't believe Donald Trump when he says that I'm this great businessman and someone reveals some documents that say otherwise.
02:18:32.000People are more likely to believe someone else praising somebody.
02:18:36.000They are more likely to take that at face value, to believe that that's truthful.
02:18:41.000And you will find, I have seen this throughout my life, having worked with some really high-profile people.
