Gerald and Dave are back with another episode of Louder With Crowder! This week, the crew talks about a woman on a Spirit Airlines flight who fainted on the tarmac and was arrested. Also, the guys talk about the dangers of calling the police in areas where there is a significant amount of crime.
00:06:16.000Yeah, so they bring EMTs on the plane and then they finally take her off the plane even though she didn't want to get off the plane anymore.
00:10:23.000Think of whether they would intervene, whether they would help someone in need, whether they would stand up for what matters, whether they would speak out.
00:10:30.000When they know that they would face some kind of public backlash and understand that at least half of the population are more cowardly than that.
00:10:37.000And I want to really quickly before we go on with this, this is important too because right now you hear, we're just talking about Megan Thee Stallion and all these people saying, I'm fearless.
00:10:45.000And the problem with that is we assume that people who are brave don't have fear, as opposed to teaching young people how to exercise courage, which is doing the right thing in the face of fear, like at a PTA meeting, like with a local police department, like being a juror at the Chauvin trial, like critical race theory.
00:11:03.000So we'll go through quite a few examples, and I want to hear from you.
00:11:06.000You can comment below when you think that this cowardice permeated this country, because like it or not, we have the Second Amendment because this country was founded on courage.
00:12:47.000When they say delusional right, they mean people who believe, for example, that your rights are being encroached upon, that identity politics is sowing division in this country, or that we may need to reform our electoral process.
00:12:59.000You are the guys who, being on the left, they want to do away with the Electoral College.
00:13:02.000and they want to make DC a state. We simply want to have, you know, identification. Tomato,
00:13:07.000tomato, I know you think voter ID is radical. I think changing, you know, DC to a state
00:13:13.000and I think changing the electoral, abolishing the Electoral College, a little more, but
00:13:17.000that's just me. The ABC's of me. I'm, that's me, Mr. Vegas.
00:13:22.000So, here we go to them arguing about the final solution.
00:13:26.000There is a wager being made on the right that they can get enough white people to believe
00:13:35.000that they are targeted, that there has been a perverse culture shift and that they are
00:14:49.000I was about to say, this is all based on Rick Santorum saying that Native Americans didn't necessarily affect what our founding documents represented as a country.
00:16:45.000Don't drink anything from him, though.
00:16:52.000I know that there are a lot of Catholics out there, and I am not Catholic, and I have talked about how I disagree with some of the theology, but I know there are a lot of great Catholics who do not agree with this current Pope on issues that don't relate to spirituality.
00:17:10.000So I want to be clear, this is not an attack on Catholics.
00:18:56.000Jesus was kind of pro-liberty, and the Judeo-Christian foundings of this country were based on the idea of life, liberty, pursuit of happiness.
00:19:01.000So the Pope can take his commie bullshit elsewhere.
00:19:05.000I want to see Catholics being less cowardly because they're afraid that they might offend us.
00:19:08.000And I know that I have so many people who come up and talk about this.
00:19:19.000I think it is When we talk about the perversion or the subversion of American culture, I think it all comes from making people subservient, and it comes from really taking advantage of people's cowardice.
00:19:30.000Yeah, and people like the Pope in a position that is unquestionable.
00:19:33.000Like, you can't question the Pope, necessarily, if you're a Catholic and remain kind of a good Catholic in good standing, right, amongst your peers.
00:19:43.000And they would say, oh, well, he was talking about making sure that we're not You know, self-absorbed in everything that we do and to maybe provide for... You mean like living in a city of gold and having a man whose only job is not to make Pope shoes, not to make red shoes, to make the Pope's exclusively red shoes?
00:20:29.000Well, as a Catholic, part of it is it is based on guilt, a lot of it, and that's why you have this representative that you can't say anything against, and that's what's kind of scary.
00:21:45.000So here is a clip where this officer is calling a Mexican-American, sorry, this lady's calling a Mexican-American officer a murderer and a racist.
00:24:55.000We need to have all of these records unsealed.
00:24:57.000Every cop will tell you that they have on a...
00:24:59.000On an almost daily basis, at least several times a week, someone claiming they're going to have their badge, someone filing a complaint because they didn't want to get a ticket.
00:25:14.000That complaint, if not for him purchasing his own body cam, might be on his record that he threatened to murder somebody and that he was racist toward a woman of color.
00:25:22.000This is a horrible, horrible environment that we've created in the United States, and most people agree, by the way, including most black people.
00:25:29.000Over, what was it, 68% the last time they checked said we want at least as much police presence as we have, or more, but people are afraid to speak out.
00:25:44.000Now her son's in the car with that mom thinking we're going to have cops kill us every time they pull us over and cite us for using our cell phone.
00:28:32.000If we want to see some change, we want to see some things going differently, we gotta get out there and get into these avenues and get in these rooms to try to spark some change.
00:29:15.000He did the march in Washington where George Floyd's brother Spoke.
00:29:19.000By the way, hey, if you're watching right now, hit the notification bell because subscriptions don't mean a whole lot really quickly, and you'll know it's a show Monday through Thursday at 10 a.m.
00:29:40.000Juror number 44, too, as we go through this, said during jury selection that she'd viewed the bystander footage of Floyd and Chauvin, and it left her with a negative view of Chauvin.
00:29:48.000So right away, that's not someone who's going in unbiased.
00:29:51.000Juror number 92 wrote in her juror questionnaire, Floyd didn't deserve to die.
00:29:55.000The police shouldn't have used excessive force.
00:29:57.000That's a conclusion that's already been drawn before she had seen the evidence.
00:30:01.000And this is where it brings us again to the theme of the day, cowardice.
00:31:30.000She knew the case was huge, but Christensen had no idea she would be so close during the trial to another death caused by police near her home in Brooklyn Center.
00:31:40.000So when I came home I could hear the helicopters flying over my house.
00:31:44.000If I stepped outside, I could see the smoke from those smoke grenades going on.
00:31:49.000I had a hard time getting to my house because all the protesters were blocking the intersections and stuff, so I had to go way around just to get home.
00:31:56.000So I was aware, but it did not affect me at all.
00:32:01.000Yeah, she just went through six minutes about stuff that she'll have to be unloading with her therapist for decades to come.
00:32:07.000But no, I wouldn't say that it affected me.
00:32:08.000I went back to my job as the Junk Muppet in Labyrinth.
00:32:14.000We are struggling with cowardice right now.
00:32:31.000We expect, unfortunately, this is a sad state of affairs, the riots and the burning down and the lies from the media.
00:32:38.000The issue right now is people who are not standing up to do the right thing, and we'll get into education in a little bit, and also what's happening with the police force.
00:32:45.000But first off, hey, go to KriderShop.com.
00:32:47.000You can buy this fight-like health kit.
00:32:49.000By the way, we don't mean physically fight.
00:32:51.000We mean that you need to fight everything, sometimes physically fight.
00:32:54.000Like hermit crabs looking for a larger shell.
00:32:56.000If you're living in a Coke can, and you would prefer a larger shell, sometimes you have to fight.
00:36:22.000Because police have been trained to see people of color, gender non-conforming folks, and Muslims as criminals, they often treat victims as perpetrators of violence.
00:36:32.000So if the victim hasn't asked you to call the police, do not.
00:37:48.000All the sources are available at ladderwithcrowder.com.
00:37:51.000The first step is to write down affirming thoughts and beliefs, and this can feel kind of like woo-woo and silly to write these things down, but when you do this before a crisis happens, it really helps redirect your mind when you are starting to feel that crisis.
00:38:06.000So really think about why you want to be safe.
00:38:09.000What parts of your life make you feel the most proud or excited or happy?
00:38:14.000And we need to take action in and by ourselves, you know, in doing things to change that internalization, those mindsets, but also, um, by working with others and creating that kind of community that has less police and needs less police.
00:38:30.000Do you need to do anything about the person shoplifting from Target?
00:38:38.000You start listing things that you can observe with your senses, right?
00:38:41.000These are things that you can see, or hear, or smell, or taste, or touch.
00:38:46.000I think it can be really helpful to massage yourself when you're in a crisis situation.
00:38:49.000It releases that oxytocin that really helps you kind of feel good in your head, and it also kind of makes you be mindful of muscle tension, so massaging your neck or your shoulders.
00:39:01.000Also kind of giving yourself some compression on your chest, kind of simulating a hug.
00:39:06.000You can do little butterfly hugs and butterfly taps.
00:39:15.000So yeah, massage yourself, which obviously brings us to, because you know COPS was canceled, brings us to this week's installment of the rebooted No COPS.
00:40:01.000But only he ran out at the end of the mist.
00:40:07.000So just this last week, by the way, Mayor Bill de Blasio, in case you don't know, America's mayor, he announced that the NYPD will no longer be responding to mental health crisis calls.
00:40:22.000Instead, they're calling social workers.
00:40:26.000First off, you, First off, if you're not a social worker, social workers are about as useless as the person with the poop emoji hat.
00:40:38.000But the issue here is you don't know what kind of drug someone is on, you don't know what kind of a weapon they have, and social workers aren't equipped to deal with it.
00:40:48.000Let's say a situation like Micaiah Bryant.
00:40:49.000You didn't know that she was about to stabby-stab until that last fraction of a second, and Hickok45 Did the neighborhood a favor!
00:41:06.000And by the way, just, I think like days before they released this policy saying, hey, we're no longer going to do this, officers responded to a wellness check.
00:43:38.000Okay, so let's go in here to Critical Race Theory.
00:43:42.000We've done a full segment on this, and by the way, all the sources are available at lottoescutter.com.
00:43:45.000You can type in, if YouTube search is working, crowd or critical race theory.
00:43:49.000We've done more of a deep dive is a term that the kids use on that, but this is important just in the sense of not only critical race theory, there are things that exist in the periphery, right?
00:43:58.000Things that exist in the orbit that are still being implemented in schools.
00:44:02.000Last week, during his joint address to Congress, Former Vice President Joe Biden, he talked about the American family's infrastructure plan.
00:44:09.000And so we assumed that that had to do with bridges and roads.
00:44:12.000He talked about funding, of course, and emphasizing more funding to education.
00:44:16.000So we'll set this up and then explain to you what that means and what is happening.
00:44:20.000The great universities in this country have conducted studies over the last 10 years.
00:44:25.000It shows that adding two years of universal high quality preschool for every three-year-old and four-year-old, no matter what background they come from, It puts them in a position to be able to compete all the way through 12 years.
00:45:18.000I don't think that having kids in school starting at three and paying all the way through 19 or however old, how old, you graduated at 18 in the United States?
00:45:28.000I graduated a year early and we graduated like at 17, I was 16.
00:45:48.000You want 16 years of your life to be spent in education.
00:45:54.000If we were talking about education, like adding up, doing math, your multiplication tables, long division, learning about history, sciences, but that's not what's happening.
00:46:04.000And this is where the agendas are being implemented.
00:46:06.000And this is a problem with some people say, well, you know, we're just printing more money.
00:46:09.000It's not just the X amount of hundreds of billions or trillions of dollars at this point, $6 trillion from his inauguration up to the proposals.
00:46:25.000You didn't read it, because it was 19,000 pages, the only exception being the Green New Deal, which is like four and a half, if you double space and use a size 19 font.
00:46:33.000So what Biden's not telling you is that the Education Department's proposed priorities for schools, and this is from the New York Times, 1619 Project, and work from Ibram X, so here we go.
00:46:43.000Let's talk about the 1619 Project really quickly.
00:46:46.000This is something I want to implement, and this is something you've talked about in the past.
00:46:49.000Yeah, so I mean, what you have to understand about the 1619 Project is that it's basically pulling all of these ideas together, all these different people, and putting it into one kind of theme that says the United States is a racist country to its core.
00:47:02.000That it was founded on racism, that slaves actually came over and founded this country essentially before we got here, and that that has kind of done everything to shape the country that we live in today.
00:47:28.000We're saying that these are people to revere, the founding fathers of this country and the people who started this country, and that's wrong.
00:47:34.000They were actually racist to the core.
00:47:35.000And the only way that we can make this society better is if we teach you the actual racist systemic issues of this country from the beginning.
00:48:15.000And I just had to pick, going into the classes that were in the biggest lecture halls, and I asked this teacher, you can type in Steven Crowder Berkeley if the search engine works on YouTube.
00:48:26.000She said, you know, these slaves were taken from the old world, and they were taken into the new world, and then they were forced to be slaves.
00:48:32.000And I said, yeah, yeah, question, professor who is teaching this exact topic, your area of expertise.
00:48:37.000How many of these slaves were slaves in the old world and were sold into slavery versus, you know, kidnapped with giant nets and turned into slaves?
00:48:43.000She said, that's a very good question.
00:48:54.000And then she talked about how the reason that these people were slaves and that they came over and they were really effective in tilling some of these fields.
00:49:01.000She asked students to go through reasons as to why this might be the case.
00:49:04.000And I said, yeah, could it be because they had experience being slaves in the old world?
00:49:07.000Not excusing it, by the way, but it would seem to be relevant as job experience is the first thing you list on your resume.
00:49:12.000She said, no, I don't think, and she went on some diatribe as to why it was about systemic racism.
00:49:17.000This is a lie that they teach your kids.
00:49:19.000And I sat there and I had a kid next to me afterwards say like, yeah, you know, I wanted to ask that same thing.
00:50:07.000Everyone watching live right now, to all of you, I have no idea, I know it's probably quite a few, just hit that like button because it helps us on YouTube because we do not show up in search or suggested.
00:50:17.000As many of you know right now if you type in Steven Crowder Berkeley.
00:50:20.000It teaches 1619 that American exceptionalism grew out of anti-black racism.
00:50:27.000One of the authors, Matthew Desmond, wrote, in order to understand the brutality of American capitalism, you have to start on the plantation.
00:50:35.000It also sources Kendi's novel, How to be Anti-Racist.
00:52:13.000Well, as far as sex slavery goes, there's still... There's still!
00:52:17.000I mean, people don't realize this for some reason, but slavery still exists in so many ways in the world.
00:52:24.000Well, it exists as basic slavery in the Middle East, and then here you have sex, but you can't talk about that, because then you need to talk about securing the borders, because a huge portion of sex slavery in the United States happens with... What?
00:52:33.000people being trafficked across the border. Can't talk about that. So we don't really care about
00:52:37.000the victims. Again, cowardice. People don't speak out. Just look into sex slavery. Just a little
00:52:43.000bit. I mean, obviously put your safe search on. I'll do some research. Put your safe search on.
00:55:27.000And this is something else, before we go back to tests, just again, going back to cowardice, just a few weeks ago, Grace Church, there was a school teacher there named Paul Rossi, I want to make sure I get this name correctly, correct, sorry, he was relieved from teaching, that means fired, by the way, for writing a New York Post op-ed, and it was titled, We're Damaging Kids with Critical Race Theory.
00:55:45.000So he was fired from his teaching position, okay?
00:55:48.000Just by saying we're damaging kids with Critical Race Theory.
00:55:51.000Again, go do some research on Critical Race Theory.
00:55:53.000White people, bad patriarchy, bad, basically original sin that white people should be ashamed of something that is completely outside of their control.
00:56:00.000And this person wrote, by the way, a very measured column in the New York Post saying, I think we're damaging our kids.
00:56:07.000This is shared, by the way, with about half the country.
00:56:12.000The head of Grace Church, George Davison, was then caught on audio after this guy was fired, during a conversation with Rossi, agreeing with the fact that the school demonizes white kids through critical race theory.
00:56:28.000The fact is that I'm agreeing with you that there has been a demonization That we need to get our hands around in the way in which people are doing this understanding.
00:56:39.000So you agree that we're demonizing kids?
00:56:42.000We're demonizing white people for being born.
00:56:49.000And are some of our students white people?
00:57:45.000But thinking that someone is less than exclusively because of their race, which is what critical theory teaches.
00:57:51.000You'll say, well, no, now we're saying that white people are less than.
00:57:53.000We're just saying they have more to atone for simply through being born white.
00:57:58.000I would say that's being born with extra baggage just because of your race.
00:58:02.000Again, I would say by the definition of racism, it's racist.
00:58:05.000And not even just more to atone for, like there's some original sin that we're born with as being white, is that we are less than because we are inherently racist.
00:58:12.000We're incapable of seeing people outside of the lens of race.
00:58:16.000That's the comment that they're making.
00:59:55.000Because now you've put something on the line, like their job, the way they make a living.
00:59:58.000We're at the point where people are just going to have to be willing to do it.
01:00:01.000It's got to become World War Z, where it's just a mountain of bodies on a wall, where you can't even see the difference between the wall and the body.
01:00:07.000It's just got to be so much that people are going to have to say, look, hey, we're going to run out of people who want to be teachers.
01:00:13.000We can't only take it from the Afro lesbian underwater basket weaving department.
01:00:21.000We are being crippled financially as a society, and that's the eradication of the middle class, and it makes it hard for people to stand up.
01:00:27.000Well, I think what people also need to do is they need to start homeschooling.
01:01:11.000But if you can't, get involved with your school board.
01:01:13.000People around the country right now are starting to go to their school boards and say, enough's enough.
01:01:17.000And if you guys don't change, an entire school board was basically ousted recently and the crowd just was in there saying, look, these are our kids.
01:01:29.000They don't believe that they're your kids.
01:01:30.000They don't believe that you have the right to teach your kids about sex.
01:01:32.000They don't believe that you have the right to teach your kids about morality.
01:01:35.000They don't believe that you have the right to teach your kids about the United States history.
01:01:39.000They don't believe that you have the right to teach your kids about God.
01:01:41.000They don't believe that you have, they believe that they should own your kids from, you just heard it from the former vice president's mouth, 14 years now.
01:03:28.000In California, not just San Francisco, September of last year, California teachers and education organizations, meaning in a lot of cases unions, released a toolkit.
01:03:48.000Again, this is something that people say a lot, like, oh, we shouldn't be concerned with equity, we should be concerned, shouldn't be concerned with equality, we should be concerned with equity.
01:03:57.000You can either have equality, meaning everyone has an opportunity, or you can have equity, meaning forced outcomes, which necessitates the precluding of opportunities for certain individuals.
01:04:36.000You cannot have an exact fixed number of black students and Asian students and white students and reverse what you believe is systemic racism in equality, in equity outcomes.
01:04:46.000See, I'm getting confused myself with Ellen Page yesterday.
01:04:48.000You cannot enforce equity outcomes and have those numbers be consistent without a system designed to exclude specific groups from opportunities that are available to others.
01:05:09.000You can't... If they were saying, we're gonna raise everybody up to the highest level, I think it would still fail, but at least that would be something that would be better than what they're saying, because they're saying, look, everybody has to come down to this level so that everybody has an equal outcome.
01:05:57.000And it also lends itself to specificity, which is also why rice is a very hard crop to cultivate, as opposed to corn in the United States, which is more robust.
01:06:05.000So, if you actually look at the sort of servants in the Asian world who are working in rice fields, very different, far more persnickety crop.
01:06:12.000Anyway, the point is, racial stereotype, Asians tend to be better at math because of statistics.
01:06:45.000I have no idea what X equals and I don't.
01:06:46.000So, Pathway to Equitable Math Instruction in California.
01:06:49.000And again, we're talking about this is what your taxpayer dollars are going to, the toolkit.
01:06:54.000is described as, bring up overlay K, resources and guidance to support black, Latinx, and multilingual students to thrive in grades six through eight.
01:07:04.000First off, just right away, and I hate, you should always check out the sources, but anytime someone unironically writes Latinx, bullshit.
01:07:35.000Look, I know it's like, why are you, because I don't, you know, I don't have, like, Tucker Carlson or Sean Hannity, I don't have a prompter, and I want to make sure that I get this right.
01:07:42.000Again, you have all the sources available to you.
01:07:43.000I encourage you to read up on all of this, because it is a pride-swallowing siege that I will never fully tell you about.
01:07:51.000These are some of the listed ways math perpetuates white supremacy.
01:07:55.000This is on equitablemath.org, page 7, so you can follow along.
01:09:25.000People who are afraid to speak out against the Pope, cowards at this point.
01:09:28.000Catholic, Protestant, Muslim, I don't care.
01:09:30.000Many voices need to speak out against cowardice.
01:09:32.000We're talking about people now saying not only do we need to defund the police, but you shouldn't call the police.
01:09:37.000People who don't speak up and say, hey, that's actually going to victimize people in these urban communities.
01:09:42.000You know who's not going to be victimized by the Black Lives Matter movement and poop emoji hat?
01:09:47.000Z. White people in rural communities, they need the police less than anybody.
