00:04:08.000 You know, I'm finally getting my life on track.
00:04:10.000 Oh, that's nice.
00:04:11.000 Hey, can I get some water in here, please?
00:04:13.000 Yeah, I uh I called American Financing.
00:04:16.000 Oh, good for you.
00:04:16.000 That's great.
00:04:17.000 Yeah, it's true what they say, you know.
00:04:19.000 They uh help me close quickly on my junior cut.
00:04:22.000 Guys, we're gonna start this right back up in about one minute because something happened with splitting the stream to YouTube and Rumble.
00:04:28.000 Of course, we only stream on Rumble the entire show, so head on over there.
00:04:31.000 We're gonna restart the stream.
00:04:32.000 I apologize.
00:04:32.000 I have to redo all of that as though it's original, but you know, it'll be slightly different.
00:04:36.000 Stay tuned.
00:04:46.000 Time to stop.
00:04:47.000 Insiders fighting for insiders.
00:04:50.000 More of insiders fighting for insiders.
00:04:53.000 Time to stop.
00:04:55.000 Insiders fighting for insiders.
00:04:57.000 America first.
00:04:59.000 Love as well.
00:06:42.000 Second.
00:06:43.000 472 second place.
00:06:46.000 Hey, we have makeup back there, too.
00:06:47.000 Man, we can cover up the eye.
00:06:50.000 Yeah.
00:06:51.000 Yeah.
00:06:52.000 Let's just keep that between us.
00:06:54.000 I'm sorry, I lost my cool.
00:06:55.000 Glad to be with you.
00:06:58.000 It's 11 a.m. On a weekday, so that means that we are streaming live as we always do.
00:07:02.000 Though tomorrow we'll be streaming the State of the Union address, a very special evening stream.
00:07:05.000 We haven't done that since election season.
00:07:07.000 Drinking game rules to follow.
00:07:09.000 Today, what we're getting to, Canada, how do you like them apples?
00:07:26.000 A lot of apples come from Canada.
00:07:29.000 Fun fact.
00:07:30.000 Look, and I know you're going to say, hey, that's classless.
00:07:33.000 Bingo.
00:07:34.000 So I don't care.
00:07:36.000 And I think that that's it.
00:07:38.000 I think we're going to look back on this and say this may have been as consequential or close to as consequential as the miracle on ice against the Russians.
00:07:45.000 The United States, Canada, our relationship dynamics need to change.
00:07:49.000 I think they will.
00:07:50.000 And this is really Canada.
00:07:51.000 I'm sorry.
00:07:51.000 It's all you had left.
00:07:52.000 Alberta, notwithstanding, we love you.
00:07:54.000 The rest of you, maybe parts of Saskatchewan.
00:07:58.000 You're awful.
00:07:59.000 You're just the pits.
00:08:00.000 You're the worst, Canada, and you deserve everything.
00:08:02.000 I hope this reverberates through your soul and you feel it for the rest of your days.
00:08:08.000 And by the way, I fully accept that we'll probably lose against you in the future because it's the only thing you have and you're going to work extra hard.
00:08:13.000 So we're going to talk about Canada, the sort of geopolitical dynamics of that game.
00:08:18.000 Mexico, drug cartels, designated terrorist organizations, people through a fit.
00:08:22.000 Now you know why they can destabilize entire countries.
00:08:24.000 Thank God we did it.
00:08:26.000 Very special guest, Warren Smith, will be on later.
00:08:29.000 I think probably him and I share the closest rhetorical style in approaching sort of debates because it's not so much a debate.
00:08:38.000 Very popular online.
00:08:39.000 I've been watching him.
00:08:40.000 Very, very sharp guy.
00:08:41.000 Looking forward to having him on.
00:08:42.000 And my question to you is: which part of Canada is the crappiest?
00:08:48.000 Don't say all of it.
00:08:50.000 We'll take your chat later on.
00:08:52.000 On with the show.
00:08:56.000 And the cat was happily reunited with its family, but the giraffe still remains at large.
00:09:01.000 Now, a word from our sponsors.
00:09:06.000 You know, I'm finally getting my life on track.
00:09:08.000 Oh, that's nice.
00:09:09.000 Hey, can I get some water in here, please?
00:09:11.000 Yeah, I uh I called American Financing.
00:09:13.000 Oh, good for you.
00:09:14.000 That's great.
00:09:15.000 Yeah, it's true what they say, you know.
00:09:17.000 They helped me close quickly on my junior suite, and they even helped me delay two my mortgage.
00:09:23.000 And you know, Greg, can you help me get some of those raisins from my desk?
00:09:26.000 In the second drawer, the one with the pretty lady in the basket on it, the colored one.
00:09:31.000 Yeah, please.
00:09:32.000 You should come over sometime.
00:09:33.000 It's a nice place.
00:09:34.000 I'm going to check it out.
00:09:35.000 It's got parquet.
00:09:37.000 Oh, boy, you should get some nice for my cat.
00:09:38.000 No, no, no.
00:09:39.000 Hold on.
00:09:40.000 I said second drawer.
00:09:41.000 Maybe you should spend the night.
00:09:44.000 Play games.
00:09:46.000 Hold on, quick.
00:09:47.000 Yeah, no, that's right.
00:09:48.000 You got it.
00:09:49.000 Good.
00:09:49.000 You know, on second thought, actually, go next door and get me one of those Chibata sandwiches.
00:09:52.000 That sounds delightful.
00:09:53.000 Boy, I sure could eat.
00:09:54.000 You could always eat.
00:09:56.000 Well, I'm saving $850 a month.
00:09:59.000 Hmm.
00:10:00.000 Well, then maybe you should perhaps consider purchasing your own Shibada with your own money.
00:10:06.000 Like the good little biggie you are.
00:10:09.000 Call American Financing today at 1-800-974-6500 or visit AmericanFinancing.net/slash Crowder.
00:10:17.000 No upfront fees.
00:10:19.000 Frozen as fast as 10 days, and you could even delay up the two mortgage payments.
00:10:23.000 NMLS 1-82-334.
00:10:27.000 America is back.
00:10:33.000 I stood beneath the dome of this Capitol and proclaimed the dawn of the golden age of America.
00:10:42.000 From that moment on, it has been nothing but swift and unrelenting action to usher in the greatest and most successful era in the history of our country.
00:10:54.000 Come get things done.
00:10:56.000 The left, they're going to be giving their counter speech to the State of the Union, and we're going to be covering that.
00:11:00.000 It's the first evening live stream in a long time.
00:11:02.000 Tuesday, February 24th, we will have the drinking game rules.
00:11:05.000 Oh, my drink.
00:11:06.000 Oh, yeah.
00:11:07.000 Swirl that thing like a toilet.
00:11:09.000 Yeah.
00:11:10.000 Live fact-checking, fact-checking with fact-checkers.
00:11:12.000 Fact-checking.
00:11:13.000 None of the political perils.
00:11:15.000 We are going to have the best coverage on earth right here.
00:11:17.000 So please share this out wide.
00:11:19.000 Let your freak flag fly.
00:11:21.000 Let everybody know that this is the place to tune into.
00:11:24.000 Tuesday, February 24th, 8.30 p.m. Eastern.
00:12:07.000 Chorus line.
00:12:07.000 That's right, Billy.
00:12:10.000 By the way, I look at my notes.
00:12:11.000 Sometimes I look at notes from last week.
00:12:13.000 This just says, looking at her interracial white/slash black question mark.
00:12:19.000 I don't know what I was thinking or what I don't know what I meant.
00:12:22.000 Sometimes we just leave notes for you there to mess with you.
00:12:24.000 Yeah, that's exactly.
00:12:25.000 Oh, that's why there's a wiener.
00:12:27.000 You should stop looking at her, though.
00:12:28.000 And it's weird that there's a wiener, it says Gerald, and then there's a disappointed emoji that someone took the time.
00:12:34.000 That's not true to make disappointment, trust me.
00:12:37.000 We got a clip along because Warren Smith is coming out.
00:12:39.000 Sorry about the technical difficulties that we had.
00:12:42.000 So I don't want him.
00:12:43.000 I don't want him to have to wait around.
00:12:44.000 He's a professor.
00:12:46.000 He's an important gentleman.
00:12:46.000 Captain Morgan, CEO, how are you?
00:12:48.000 Fantastics.
00:12:48.000 All smiles.
00:12:49.000 Fantastics.
00:12:50.000 Fantastic.
00:12:51.000 All smiles.
00:12:52.000 I just went right into it.
00:12:53.000 That's okay.
00:12:54.000 It's okay.
00:12:54.000 I still love you.
00:12:56.000 Friday, Saturday, March 20th, 21st Summit City Comedy Club in Fort Wayne, Indiana, which is, by the way, it's in the cards.
00:13:05.000 It's due for a resurgence, Fort Wayne, Indiana.
00:13:07.000 Indiana, yes.
00:13:08.000 We'll be talking about your new NFL team, the Chicago Bears.
00:13:11.000 That's right.
00:13:12.000 Yes.
00:13:12.000 Yes.
00:13:14.000 The Chicago Bears of Indiana.
00:13:15.000 Is that a real thing?
00:13:17.000 It's something like that.
00:13:19.000 It's in the works.
00:13:20.000 We need to do a Stephen No Sports because I haven't been following this for a long time.
00:13:24.000 But it is fun to see Canadians lose at the only thing they have.
00:13:26.000 Oh, it was the only thing.
00:13:28.000 That's the only reason why it's so fun.
00:13:30.000 Yeah.
00:13:30.000 Because you're supposed to win, dude.
00:13:32.000 That's the thing you're supposed to do out of all the things.
00:13:32.000 Yeah.
00:13:34.000 We expect you to win.
00:13:35.000 It's your thing.
00:13:36.000 We don't feel bad when we get sober.
00:13:37.000 We're like, hey, we're second best at this Canadian game.
00:13:39.000 It'd be like, that's pretty cool.
00:13:40.000 It'd be like if Gordon Ramsey woke up tomorrow, like, Hawking Cook.
00:13:46.000 He's getting beat by a waffle house chef.
00:13:50.000 He just gets world starred in one of his three-star restaurants.
00:13:54.000 All right.
00:13:54.000 I don't know what to say.
00:13:55.000 How many stars is a good star?
00:13:56.000 Three is the thing.
00:13:57.000 Three is amazing.
00:13:58.000 Well, see, I nailed it.
00:13:59.000 Still got it.
00:14:00.000 Gavin Newsom is a pandering butthole.
00:14:03.000 He wants you to know that he's black just like you because he's dumb.
00:14:07.000 I'm not, you know, I'm not trying to impress you.
00:14:10.000 I'm just trying to impress upon you, I'm like you.
00:14:15.000 I'm not better than you.
00:14:17.000 You know, I'm a 960 SAT guy.
00:14:21.000 Just like you.
00:14:22.000 And, you know, and I'm not trying to offend anyone, you know, trying to act all there if you got 940.
00:14:30.000 But literally a 960 SAT guy.
00:14:33.000 I cannot, you, you've never seen me read a speech because I cannot read a speech.
00:14:42.000 Maybe the wrong business to be in.
00:14:44.000 Agreed.
00:14:45.000 Yeah.
00:14:46.000 Yeah.
00:14:46.000 Wow.
00:14:47.000 I can't read.
00:14:49.000 What?
00:14:50.000 I can't read, and I did poorly on my SATs, fellow blacks.
00:14:57.000 Just like you.
00:14:58.000 Just in case, like, this is a thing where people say, oh, well, we will tell some jokes, go through some bits that are undoubtedly probably more offensive than that on paper.
00:15:08.000 But in spirit, that tells you what he thinks of you, right?
00:15:13.000 When people ask, where does the racism actually exist on the right or the left?
00:15:17.000 Comment below.
00:15:19.000 You get it, right?
00:15:20.000 We make jokes.
00:15:21.000 They make statements.
00:15:22.000 Yes.
00:15:23.000 Yeah, he really means.
00:15:25.000 And by the way, this is not unique to Gavin Newsom.
00:15:27.000 Just a refresher, he is joining a long line of Democrats who pander to black people by also letting you know that they're not super capable.
00:15:39.000 We have this notion that somehow, if you're poor, you cannot do it.
00:15:43.000 Poor kids are just as bright and just as talented as white kids.
00:15:46.000 Oh, my God.
00:15:47.000 If you ever talk about figuring out whether you're for mayor Trump and you ain't black, I'm proud to be a bartender.
00:15:54.000 Ain't nothing wrong with that.
00:15:57.000 Tell you there's nothing wrong with working retail, folding clothes for other people to buy.
00:16:02.000 That's right.
00:16:03.000 There is nothing wrong with preparing the food that your neighbors will eat.
00:16:08.000 How long do you need that food?
00:16:12.000 I come too far from where I started from.
00:16:16.000 Because she got a fat ass too.
00:16:18.000 You told me that the road would be easy.
00:16:21.000 I'm just like you, my husband cheat.
00:16:23.000 How fun would it be to just stiff arm, hold her head down so she can't get up?
00:16:27.000 My mom was pregnant and divorced a few years later with two kids for no money and just hustled and worked hard riding every day.
00:16:37.000 We are preparing coins.
00:16:39.000 For what?
00:16:40.000 For Thanksgiving dinner.
00:16:42.000 I was 960 or 980 on my SAT.
00:16:45.000 And that was cool.
00:16:46.000 Like my mom's like, it's okay.
00:16:48.000 It's okay to be average.
00:16:50.000 I think if you sign it, you get like four thousand.
00:16:53.000 And it's not an indictment, but I've got four kids all in club sports.
00:16:59.000 And how that's become damn professional.
00:17:01.000 That's pretty penny.
00:17:01.000 Yeah.
00:17:02.000 Right now we have young black kids growing up in the Bronx who don't even know what the word a computer is.
00:17:09.000 They don't know.
00:17:10.000 The sign language lady has to do it.
00:17:10.000 They don't know.
00:17:13.000 Black men are being killed on the street.
00:17:16.000 What is democracy?
00:17:18.000 The trail of broken promises soon leave black communities behind.
00:17:22.000 What does it mean, as you've heard before, to be a black man who loves his country, even if it doesn't love him back in equal measure?
00:17:32.000 What's something that you always carry with you?
00:17:33.000 Hot sauce.
00:17:35.000 Really?
00:17:36.000 Yeah.
00:17:36.000 You know, people are going to see this and say, okay, she's pandering to black people.
00:17:42.000 Okay.
00:17:43.000 Is it working?
00:17:45.000 No.
00:17:48.000 They should have been like.
00:17:50.000 Pull it out right now.
00:17:51.000 Yeah, pull it out right now.
00:17:52.000 Pull out that hot sauce.
00:17:53.000 What do you got?
00:17:53.000 Tabatille, Franks?
00:17:54.000 Louisiana?
00:17:55.000 What are you working with?
00:17:56.000 Yeah, she's not working with anything.
00:17:57.000 Look, I don't even know Frank.
00:17:59.000 I will tell you that this is what the left does, and this is why I would never insult your intelligence.
00:18:04.000 I would never pander to you.
00:18:10.000 Because I'm cool.
00:18:11.000 Dig.
00:18:12.000 Like Hennessy on the rocks at my baby mom's house.
00:18:20.000 I wouldn't do it.
00:18:22.000 No.
00:18:22.000 I wouldn't pander.
00:18:24.000 I would never do that.
00:18:29.000 Because I keep it real fam.
00:18:32.000 As you know by my new mixtape or things of that nature that you have also checked out.
00:18:39.000 It's just offensive.
00:18:41.000 It's unnecessary.
00:18:43.000 Also.
00:18:44.000 Inappropriate.
00:18:45.000 I, as well, didn't do nothing.
00:18:51.000 You know.
00:18:53.000 Let's go to Canada.
00:19:02.000 What was your SAT score?
00:19:03.000 We had a sun demographic shift.
00:19:10.000 The Canadian meltdown over the Olympics.
00:19:14.000 We're going to get into the meltdown from Canada, okay?
00:19:17.000 The double standards and our relationship with Canada.
00:19:22.000 Okay.
00:19:22.000 This is, it's emblematic of our relationship with the world.
00:19:26.000 They will set terms to the game.
00:19:29.000 They will try and implement rules.
00:19:32.000 We accept, we oblige, and then they bitch about it.
00:19:36.000 They will end zone dance.
00:19:37.000 They will gloat.
00:19:38.000 This is Canada.
00:19:39.000 This is a lot of Europe, right?
00:19:40.000 You can compare this to NATO.
00:19:41.000 You can compare this to tariffs, for example.
00:19:45.000 Let me encapsulate it.
00:19:46.000 They blew the national anthem.
00:19:48.000 Okay?
00:19:50.000 We beat them.
00:19:52.000 We post a meme of an eagle stomping on a goose, and that is considered a violation of international law.
00:19:59.000 Apply it to tariffs.
00:20:00.000 They'll apply a tariff on American dairy to the tune of several hundred percent.
00:20:05.000 We turn around and say, okay, we're going to protect our own industries.
00:20:08.000 And then they cry foul.
00:20:09.000 That's why this matters.
00:20:12.000 Well, they cried foul, but it was a picture of stop it.
00:20:16.000 Yes, I get it.
00:20:16.000 They have a point.
00:20:17.000 I don't like it, but I like it.
00:20:20.000 So one year ago, after Canada did defeat the United States.
00:20:25.000 Also, do you realize that we accept the terms of it where we go like, no, okay, you know, it's their thing.
00:20:28.000 They won.
00:20:29.000 Fair game.
00:20:30.000 They should be good at it.
00:20:31.000 We were bummed out, sure.
00:20:32.000 Sure.
00:20:32.000 But, you know.
00:20:33.000 But we didn't say second is the best.
00:20:35.000 We should have really won.
00:20:36.000 We actually won.
00:20:37.000 First is the worst.
00:20:38.000 We didn't do that.
00:20:39.000 So this was about a year ago, I think, after Canada beat the United States.
00:20:44.000 It was this at the Four Nations game.
00:20:45.000 Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wrote this.
00:20:52.000 Sorry, right clip, always right clip.
00:20:55.000 It's not going away.
00:20:56.000 He wrote, you can't take our country and you can't take our game.
00:21:01.000 Well, one out of two is okay.
00:21:06.000 So, yeah.
00:21:10.000 You know this, the United States defeated Canada two to one in overtime.
00:21:15.000 And you may not notice if you are the byproduct of public education or other things of that such nature, but two, motherfucker, is that many.
00:21:31.000 So, it's time for No Canada.
00:21:33.000 No.
00:21:41.000 Marley was dead to begin with.
00:21:43.000 Let's set the stage before we go through all of these different dynamics.
00:21:47.000 References available, links in the description as we do every show.
00:21:50.000 goes without saying Canada, a failed nation, a conquered people, didn't take the loss very well.
00:22:16.000 I call this f king!
00:22:18.000 Seja king!
00:22:22.000 Sejal king!
00:22:23.000 What's he saying?
00:22:24.000 No!
00:22:25.000 I can't hear him, but he's French Canadian, so he's belligerent.
00:22:30.000 So I'm just a little on edge right now.
00:22:32.000 He's got a nose like a dog's wiener.
00:22:36.000 F*** you, buddy.
00:22:41.000 This guy's so pissed.
00:22:43.000 They give the losers teddy bears.
00:22:45.000 Look at him.
00:22:45.000 He's like, what?
00:22:47.000 Nathan McKinnon, hilarious.
00:22:52.000 Yes!
00:22:57.000 This guy's pretty cool, actually.
00:23:02.000 Watch your fingers.
00:23:05.000 By the way, the other guy, the other person I think in front of, they're trying to reason with him as to why that's not a good idea.
00:23:10.000 He's like, hey, don't do that, you'll color gamete.
00:23:17.000 So let's go through the phase Before we get to acceptance, that's my 50-inch.
00:23:24.000 That's it.
00:23:24.000 That's right.
00:23:25.000 That's cost a lot in Canada.
00:23:27.000 A lot of inches.
00:23:31.000 I love how they're talking to Doug Ford right now about this.
00:23:35.000 You guys watch it out there and we'll see what they're doing.
00:23:37.000 I just think it's hilarious.
00:23:38.000 Let's go through the different phases.
00:23:39.000 First off, is, you know, they try to convince themselves Canada, as opposed to accepting the terms that losing is okay.
00:23:44.000 Remember, this is now the men beat the men and the women beat the Canadian women.
00:23:49.000 You remember after the Canadian female team lost, or women's team, I don't know if they allow men to compete, they posted this on X.
00:23:56.000 They wrote, silver shines just as bright.
00:23:59.000 What?
00:24:01.000 No, it doesn't.
00:24:02.000 Actually, no, it doesn't.
00:24:03.000 That's the thing.
00:24:03.000 It doesn't shine just as bright at all.
00:24:05.000 It's not even close.
00:24:06.000 It's in color.
00:24:06.000 It's a reflective metal, I've heard, but that's not shining.
00:24:09.000 That's reflecting.
00:24:10.000 Here's this one.
00:24:11.000 There's a story posted on X said, the checkout clerk at the grocery store just asked me how the hockey game went.
00:24:17.000 When I told her we lost in overtime, she said, Overtime?
00:24:20.000 Then our boys played a good game.
00:24:22.000 I love Canada so much.
00:24:26.000 I love Canada so much.
00:24:28.000 And then I was like, yo, I'm just here to buy cigarettes and abandon my family.
00:24:35.000 You know what I'm saying?
00:24:37.000 I ain't going to be back.
00:24:41.000 I'm coming back.
00:24:42.000 I'm not going to be coming back.
00:24:44.000 Then there's this flat out lie.
00:24:46.000 Dear fellow Canadians, as you know, it's never about who wins.
00:24:50.000 Never.
00:24:50.000 Sometimes it is, though.
00:24:52.000 In all sports, sometimes it is.
00:24:54.000 In the Olympics, it is.
00:24:55.000 And in hockey, it is.
00:24:56.000 In everything.
00:24:57.000 It's about how you carry yourself in tough moments.
00:25:01.000 Are you a gracious winner?
00:25:02.000 Are you a gracious loser?
00:25:04.000 Those are the only things people remember.
00:25:06.000 Hey, anyone remember how the Russians reacted to the miracle on ice in 1988?
00:25:11.000 They were like, ah, that Sakharov guy, he was really ornery.
00:25:15.000 No, people kind of remember the winners.
00:25:18.000 And I get it.
00:25:19.000 You want to be a good sport, but let's not say winning never matters.
00:25:22.000 Let's dust ourselves off and show the world what being Canadian is all about losing.
00:25:28.000 Well, yes, he hinted his profile there.
00:25:30.000 So, you know.
00:25:30.000 Then the captain, Nathan McKinnon, wrote this.
00:25:34.000 He said, You be the judge of who was the better team today.
00:25:36.000 We were.
00:25:37.000 The scoreboard was.
00:25:39.000 Yeah, it's not figure skating.
00:25:40.000 This is not a judge defend.
00:25:42.000 No.
00:25:42.000 Sometimes you'll get this like in a fight where, let's say, a guy is dominating and a cut opens up.
00:25:47.000 And so he loses because they can't allow it to go on.
00:25:49.000 And then he immediately wins the rematch.
00:25:51.000 This is not that.
00:25:52.000 This went into overtime and you were beaten.
00:25:54.000 That's pretty definitive.
00:25:57.000 That's about as definitive as it gets at that point.
00:26:00.000 But they got off and missed more shots.
00:26:02.000 That's right.
00:26:03.000 So the ones that counted.
00:26:05.000 This guy also, Canadians, just listen to the cope.
00:26:08.000 Honestly, if you're an American celebrating that win, you're a casual who doesn't know Puck.
00:26:14.000 That is true.
00:26:15.000 Totally fine.
00:26:16.000 Grow the game.
00:26:18.000 What the hell is that?
00:26:20.000 I don't know Puck.
00:26:21.000 Yeah.
00:26:21.000 But no, we fucking won.
00:26:23.000 Yeah.
00:26:25.000 You fucking loser.
00:26:26.000 Here's the thing.
00:26:27.000 I don't even need to know.
00:26:29.000 I don't know that much about biology or geography or grammar.
00:26:36.000 Yeah.
00:26:36.000 Yeah.
00:26:37.000 But I do.
00:26:38.000 You only need to know L and W.
00:26:41.000 Yeah.
00:26:42.000 And that one's pretty definitive here.
00:26:44.000 And then you have them.
00:26:44.000 Of course, the cope then goes to, as classy as they are, crapping on the United States.
00:26:50.000 So here's a post that was referring to the White House made a post showing a bald eagle on top of a Canadian goose, which was awesome.
00:26:56.000 And so a guy responded saying, the guy who tweeted this is a rapist and a pedophile governing a country chock full of rapists and pedophiles.
00:27:04.000 So Canada still won.
00:27:05.000 Well, let's even go with your premise.
00:27:07.000 That's our eagle pedophiling your goose.
00:27:14.000 The goose was of age.
00:27:15.000 Yeah.
00:27:16.000 Chris Hansen is going to show up and ask the eagle to take a seat.
00:27:19.000 I'm okay with it.
00:27:20.000 Also, that picture is taken from a video.
00:27:22.000 A videographer took a video of a bald eagle and a goose getting into it last year.
00:27:27.000 Yeah.
00:27:27.000 Around the same time as the Four Nations game, and people were nobody of note, but people in Canada were sharing the goose on top of the eagle at one point.
00:27:35.000 So you guys boo the anthem.
00:27:38.000 We post an image.
00:27:41.000 It was okay.
00:27:41.000 You guys defended it.
00:27:43.000 And then you're furious when we do something that, by the way, has been done really in all professional sports.
00:27:48.000 You know, you can see for like you may see a shark eating a panther if they're playing.
00:27:51.000 This is some of the, well, these are mascots, right?
00:27:53.000 The mascots even pantomime fights sometimes.
00:27:55.000 Booing a national anthem would be reason enough to be kicked out of any professional sport, certainly in hockey, just to be clear.
00:28:03.000 So it's the double standard.
00:28:04.000 Just apply that to tariffs.
00:28:05.000 Just apply that to border security.
00:28:07.000 Just apply that to drug trafficking.
00:28:08.000 Just apply that to immigration.
00:28:10.000 Here's another one about America's standing in the world.
00:28:13.000 The arrogance begins.
00:28:14.000 This is why the world hates America.
00:28:16.000 No class.
00:28:18.000 No class?
00:28:20.000 I've got you covered.
00:28:21.000 So we posted meaning the United States.
00:28:49.000 Let's just you know i'll stay behind.
00:28:51.000 We posted, if you bring up Overlay Klaus, 8011, the Eagle.
00:28:55.000 Okay.
00:28:56.000 We had the Eagle on top of the goose.
00:28:58.000 And then this is, oh, they did have a goose.
00:29:00.000 This wasn't shut by their mini ministers.
00:29:02.000 But this is something that they put out there.
00:29:04.000 We responded with our own for a while, right?
00:29:07.000 And once we won, they're furious.
00:29:12.000 These are the people who booed the anthem of our country.
00:29:25.000 That poor guy thinks they're booing him.
00:29:31.000 That's true.
00:29:36.000 Again, if you did that in the NHL, you'd be suspended.
00:29:39.000 You'd be punished for it, just to be clear.
00:29:41.000 In an international game, there isn't the same type of governing body.
00:29:45.000 So they want you to believe that the more egregious sin is us posting this image that they also posted.
00:29:51.000 We just showed you.
00:29:51.000 The only difference is that those from Canada, they were AI.
00:29:55.000 And the one that we posted was from an actual event of an eagle and a goose.
00:29:59.000 There was round one, round two, round three, and so on.
00:30:02.000 And all the rounds had everything in it.
00:30:05.000 Like in boxing, the contestants were getting more and more tired.
00:30:09.000 There were times when it seemed hopeless for the goose and the goose was under the eagle.
00:30:13.000 I thought it was over.
00:30:14.000 However, it was very, very impressive.
00:30:17.000 The goose fought back and came out of that and survived the day.
00:30:21.000 And that's not AI.
00:30:22.000 That looks like AI to me too.
00:30:24.000 And then I ate both of them.
00:30:25.000 And I hated them both.
00:30:27.000 They were delicious.
00:30:28.000 Oh, my gosh, beautiful.
00:30:29.000 They tasted like the fighting spirit.
00:30:31.000 But I won't eat eagle again.
00:30:33.000 Too stringy.
00:30:36.000 11 a.m. Eastern, by the way.
00:30:38.000 That's when we stream in case you're just tuning in right now or you're watching a clip.
00:30:41.000 So apply it to tariffs.
00:30:43.000 It's a double standard.
00:30:44.000 Then apply reality versus their delusion, right?
00:30:48.000 Booing the anthem.
00:30:49.000 Yeah, we're better than you.
00:30:50.000 The reality is we're a more successful country.
00:30:50.000 You have no class.
00:30:52.000 Canada is more poor than Alabama.
00:30:55.000 Now let's go to the sympathizers.
00:30:58.000 Canada, just to be clear, their Prime Minister is a communist, and the liberals in Canada are actual communists.
00:31:04.000 The liberals in the United States are pretty much communists too.
00:31:06.000 Now I want you to be aware of the communist sympathizers amongst your ranks.
00:31:11.000 McCarthy was right, because this is a time where at least we should all be able to come together and be proud, right?
00:31:16.000 The Olympics should be one of those events.
00:31:18.000 That's why sports are supposed to be this sort of uniting universal language.
00:31:23.000 Well, I should say, with borders in your country, meaning you all get behind your guys.
00:31:28.000 You know who knows that pretty well?
00:31:29.000 Like the Russians did that.
00:31:30.000 Those were their guys and nobody else's.
00:31:32.000 Instead, you see people in the United States, traders, like those at HuffPo, writing things like: if waving the American flag or chanting USA turns you off right now, you're not alone.
00:31:44.000 Oh, geez.
00:31:47.000 What?
00:31:47.000 I would say if waving the American flag or chanting USA turns you off right now, that should be an official question in the census that leads to immediate deportation.
00:32:01.000 People say, like, oh, you know, it's not good to say that.
00:32:01.000 Yeah, goodbye.
00:32:03.000 We're not saying crap hole countries, though other countries are crap hole countries.
00:32:07.000 We're not saying that other countries suck, though most do.
00:32:11.000 We're not even saying in this instance that the United States is the greatest country on earth, though it is.
00:32:15.000 See, they'll argue that all those things are too nationalistic.
00:32:18.000 I am.
00:32:19.000 They'll argue that it's ethnocentric, which is a made-up term.
00:32:23.000 But that's not really the sticking point, is it?
00:32:25.000 Just like dreamers with kids, anchor babies, they don't want to deport violent criminals.
00:32:30.000 To the left, waving the flag or chanting USA three letters is a problem.
00:32:38.000 We are not the same, and we are not going to find common ground.
00:32:43.000 And I guess the hero of this game for a lot of people, Jack Hughes, who just spat out his tooth only a few minutes prior, didn't get the memo.
00:32:52.000 This is all about our country right now.
00:32:55.000 I love the USA.
00:32:56.000 I love my teammates.
00:32:58.000 It's unbelievable.
00:32:59.000 The USA Hockey Brotherhood is so strong.
00:33:03.000 And we have so much support from ex-players.
00:33:05.000 I'm so proud to be American today.
00:33:07.000 It's gross.
00:33:09.000 This was such an incredible game to grind out.
00:33:11.000 I mean, you're bleeding right through it just looking at you right now.
00:33:14.000 Can you just talk about how difficult this gold medal was to win?
00:33:18.000 Unbelievable game by Hellabuck.
00:33:20.000 He was our best player tonight by Mile.
00:33:22.000 Unbelievable game.
00:33:24.000 Unreal game by our team.
00:33:25.000 That's just a ballsy, gutsy win.
00:33:28.000 That's American hockey right there.
00:33:29.000 That's a great Canadian team, but we're USA.
00:33:32.000 We're so proud to be Americans.
00:33:34.000 Tonight was all for the country.
00:33:36.000 What does this gold medal mean to USA hockey?
00:33:38.000 It's everything.
00:33:39.000 Like I said, the USA Hockey Brotherhood means so much.
00:33:42.000 Look at these guys.
00:33:43.000 We're such a team.
00:33:44.000 We've been in the air for two weeks.
00:33:46.000 We're such a team.
00:33:47.000 The USA Hockey Brotherhood is so strong, and we're so proud to win for our country.
00:33:52.000 I'm lucky I'm from the best country in the world.
00:33:54.000 And we got great dentists there, too.
00:33:56.000 So I'm lucky I'm American, and they're going to fix me right up.
00:33:59.000 And I just want to be really clear about this.
00:34:01.000 He just said it's a great Canadian team, but I'm proud to be American.
00:34:05.000 Yeah.
00:34:05.000 We won.
00:34:07.000 That was as classy to use the term of these angry, sore losers from Canada as you could possibly be.
00:34:15.000 We waved the flag, and that's a problem.
00:34:17.000 We waved the flag in front of, by the way, members of another nation who booed our anthem.
00:34:23.000 And our behavior is deemed less acceptable.
00:34:26.000 We're not friends.
00:34:28.000 Canada's not a good friend.
00:34:30.000 And I know it's not all Canadians, but it's too many of them.
00:34:33.000 And we're not friends with those in the left here in the United States.
00:34:36.000 We are not friends.
00:34:38.000 We are not part of it.
00:34:39.000 It goes deeper than that.
00:34:41.000 For a society to exist, you have to have a shared society.
00:34:47.000 There has to be something that unites you.
00:34:50.000 If you can't see the flag being waved or the chant of your country after you win an international sporting event, you are not a part of American society.
00:35:02.000 I don't follow hockey.
00:35:05.000 I didn't watch this game live, but at no point would I be, no matter who's president, when Barack Obama was president, you would never hear me complain of people waving the flag or chanting USA.
00:35:16.000 A social fabric has to be a weave, meaning somehow we are connected.
00:35:21.000 We are not, and we cannot with those on the left here in the United States because they would rather be Canada.
00:35:26.000 Let's send them to Canada.
00:35:27.000 Yes, Noodles, you're the biggest hockey fan here.
00:35:29.000 Yeah, I was just going to say, so Jack Hughes scored the overtime game winner, but he referenced Hellebuck their goalie, made 41 out of 42 saves, which is incredible.
00:35:37.000 Canada outshot us 42 to 28.
00:35:40.000 And so that's why they'll say like they won the game.
00:35:43.000 But at the end of the day, like you said, it's the scoreboard, and that's what makes hockey so great.
00:35:46.000 You can be outshot and still show up.
00:35:49.000 Also, just means we got a better rate.
00:35:51.000 Not only that, it also means that sometimes, you know, hey, what happens if you're down towards the end?
00:35:56.000 You pull the goalie.
00:35:57.000 Sometimes you have a more aggressive strategy where if you say, we have a good enough goalie, we are going to be playing a different type of game.
00:36:03.000 In other words, you can find other games where I guarantee you the American team is more aggressive, gets more shots off.
00:36:08.000 Sometimes you can find a faster passing game, right?
00:36:11.000 Where you're distracted.
00:36:12.000 We all know this.
00:36:12.000 You develop different strategies.
00:36:14.000 You'll see that in fighting.
00:36:14.000 CompuStrike will go, well, this guy had twice as much volume in strikes, but he had a quarter of the accuracy.
00:36:22.000 People don't always follow the same strategy every game.
00:36:26.000 That's why we have, thank God, goals.
00:36:30.000 An objective measure.
00:36:31.000 Yes, exactly.
00:36:34.000 And here's something objectively awesome: President Trump's call with the team.
00:36:39.000 One minute.
00:36:41.000 One minute.
00:36:42.000 And by the way, Ed, how are you, say hi, how are you, say hi to him.
00:36:49.000 How you doing, Dan?
00:36:53.000 I have seen hockey goalies have slightly worse games.
00:36:57.000 Unbelievable.
00:36:58.000 And you were all unbelievable.
00:37:01.000 And that team is pretty good.
00:37:03.000 You played.
00:37:03.000 I don't know.
00:37:04.000 Maybe we'll get any time soon, right?
00:37:06.000 And you know, I tell you what, I just told my people two minutes ago, I didn't know they'd be going.
00:37:11.000 I said, we're giving the State of the Union speech on Tuesday night.
00:37:16.000 I could send a military plan or something.
00:37:19.000 If you would like to, it's the coolest night.
00:37:22.000 It's the biggest.
00:37:23.000 We're in.
00:37:26.000 Watch this.
00:37:27.000 We're going to have to bring the woman's team.
00:37:29.000 You do know that.
00:37:33.000 If you could do that, I do believe I probably would be peached, okay?
00:37:40.000 Look, I won't lie to you.
00:37:41.000 They're not as bad as the softball brudge, but some of them are rough.
00:37:45.000 Lots of lazies on those teams.
00:37:48.000 I love that.
00:37:49.000 Before he could even get the words out of his mouth, they knew and they were like, We are in, absolutely.
00:37:53.000 Yeah.
00:37:54.000 Well, compared to the NFL, compared to the NBA, hockey is the least leftist sporting organization out there.
00:38:00.000 And you know what's ironic about that?
00:38:01.000 Hockey is, you may not like the sport of hockey.
00:38:05.000 You may not follow it as much.
00:38:06.000 It is without a doubt the most team-centric sport out there, meaning you will have star players who go out there on a given night and bleed for their team and nothing else because that's what needs to be done that night.
00:38:21.000 People will put their ego aside in hockey.
00:38:24.000 And you can say that there are other sports out there.
00:38:27.000 People argue, you know, soccer, which one requires the most amount of athleticism.
00:38:30.000 You look at Hughes, no other sport.
00:38:34.000 Here's how I am measuring it outside of combat sports, individual sports.
00:38:38.000 As far as a team sport, you could drop any player off from the NFL, toughest, meanest player, any player from baseball, NBA, soccer.
00:38:45.000 You put them in overtime in hockey, knock out their tooth with a hammer and say, go.
00:38:52.000 Not one would accept that.
00:38:54.000 You could take any of those hockey players, put them in any other sports scenario.
00:38:58.000 It doesn't mean they skillfully would do well.
00:38:59.000 They'd get sacked if they were, but they could do it.
00:39:01.000 They would have the mental toughness to do it.
00:39:04.000 There really is a different mindset.
00:39:06.000 So a much more collective mindset as far as a team sport, hockey, compared to others where people hot dog, yet they lean more right.
00:39:14.000 And this is something that I think people need to take stock of this.
00:39:18.000 Conservatives, Republicans, nationalists, right?
00:39:22.000 People on the right, we absolutely believe in preserving liberty and freedom because we also understand our collective duty.
00:39:30.000 That's how Japan misgauged.
00:39:33.000 They underestimated the United States in World War II.
00:39:35.000 They said it's a nation of Playboys.
00:39:36.000 They're all about freedom and decadence.
00:39:38.000 So they're not going to be willing to die the way that you guys are.
00:39:41.000 We were more readily willing to die.
00:39:44.000 Why?
00:39:45.000 Because we were willing to die for freedom.
00:39:47.000 That's the same thing with a lot of these hockey players.
00:39:50.000 They believe in the power of the individual so that that empowered individual can sacrifice himself for his team when the time comes.
00:40:00.000 Don't mistake rugged individualism with us not understanding the importance of the collective because those on the right live their lives in a way that is far less selfish than communists on the left.
00:40:13.000 And the same thing with hockey players in comparison to other sports.
00:40:17.000 The macro here is take what happened, Canada complaining, Canada changing the game, or changing the terms, I should say.
00:40:24.000 Canada bitching about us doing a far more mild response than they did in booing our anthem, and they vilify us.
00:40:34.000 It's the same thing with Europe and NATO.
00:40:36.000 They don't honor their contracts.
00:40:38.000 They don't meet their spending.
00:40:40.000 And when we finally say, you know what, maybe we're going to pull from NATO because we're tired of footing the bill, we're the big bad villain.
00:40:47.000 These people booed our anthem and are furious that we posted an image of an eagle with a goose.
00:40:55.000 By the way, an eagle would kick the crap out of a goose.
00:40:58.000 We all know that.
00:41:00.000 It's not even close.
00:41:01.000 And I feel Canadian geese.
00:41:03.000 You don't even need a picture for that.
00:41:04.000 No, you don't even need a picture for that.
00:41:06.000 One has incredibly sharp talents.
00:41:09.000 All right, we have to go.
00:41:09.000 We're going to go on to Mexico too because we're going south of the border.
00:41:11.000 But before that, you know, by the way, and I would never advise, when you go to Mexico, you can see some shows that at the very least are, you know, uncouth, I guess to say.
00:41:22.000 You guys know what I'm talking about in Tijuana.
00:41:24.000 Don't do that.
00:41:25.000 And, you know, just find a line of work that is a good, honest day's work.
00:41:30.000 That being said, you don't have to do that right now because we are going to roll up the dollar bills and put them in your undergarments.
00:41:35.000 It's time for reverse super chat.
00:41:41.000 There you go.
00:41:41.000 No donkey needed.
00:41:42.000 Blackout coffee.

00:41:53.000 The Strange Animal Brew, that's my blend.
00:41:56.000 I spent a lot of time putting this together.
00:41:58.000 This is what we use here in the office.
00:42:00.000 It's what I use at home when I make espresso.
00:42:03.000 It's the only thing that we use.
00:42:04.000 And let me know what you think about it.
00:42:06.000 They roast it, ship it fresh.
00:42:08.000 They have single serve pods.
00:42:09.000 If you're into that, that's gross.
00:42:10.000 You guys shouldn't do it.
00:42:11.000 But they do provide that if convenience is your God.
00:42:16.000 Go to blackoutcoffee.com/slash crowder.
00:42:18.000 Use the code crowder for 20% off.
00:42:20.000 And really, let me know what you think of Strange Animal Brew.
00:42:22.000 This has been Reverse Super Chat.
00:42:27.000 You're such a coffee snob.
00:42:29.000 Mexico.
00:42:29.000 No, I'm not.
00:42:30.000 This is actually, yeah, it's terrible.
00:42:32.000 This is a good.
00:42:34.000 Like I said.
00:42:34.000 And this isn't a snobby coffee.
00:42:37.000 It's a good medium roast, highly rated, and it'll work in anything.
00:42:40.000 It's not too dark, so it won't gum up your grinder.
00:42:43.000 It took us a long time to make.
00:42:44.000 Also, it's tough.
00:42:45.000 Coffee beans are, you know, they're difficult to get.
00:42:47.000 They are.
00:42:48.000 Because it's a persnickety crop.
00:42:50.000 Anyone here ever had the coffee fruit?
00:42:51.000 You ever actually tasted it?
00:42:52.000 No, no.
00:42:53.000 It's delicious, and we don't use it for anything.
00:42:55.000 It tastes like a watermelon meets a cherry.
00:42:58.000 What you're eating is the seed, and we call it a bean.
00:43:00.000 But like, what are they doing with all the coffee fruit?
00:43:04.000 They're just tossing it?
00:43:05.000 Maybe that was their refuse and they're just like selling it to us.
00:43:07.000 I don't jokes on us.
00:43:09.000 I have no idea.
00:43:09.000 It's delicious.
00:43:11.000 I want, yeah, try it.
00:43:12.000 No way.
00:43:13.000 Try it sometimes.
00:43:14.000 It tastes like a cherry meets a watermelon.
00:43:16.000 People can comment below.
00:43:17.000 You let me know if you've ever had it.
00:43:18.000 All right.
00:43:19.000 You have to spit out the seeds, though.
00:43:20.000 The beans.
00:43:24.000 So we have Orn Smith coming on here in a little bit.
00:43:29.000 One year ago, let me try.
00:43:31.000 One year ago, President Trump designated cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.
00:43:36.000 Now, we've seen that with Venezuela, but he designated specifically Mexican cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.
00:43:41.000 Why?
00:43:42.000 Because they control governments, right?
00:43:45.000 They're effectively transnational actors, and they can destabilize entire countries, regions, in some cases, halves of continents, and use fear, right, as a terrorist organization would.
00:43:58.000 We saw this on full display yesterday.
00:44:01.000 So, first, let's set the stage.
00:44:02.000 Monroe Doctrine, you know this.
00:44:03.000 The Trump administration was very clear that the national security approach, the Western Hemisphere, is ours.
00:44:08.000 And thank God, picture any other country in the Western Hemisphere and tell me you want them at the tiller of the ship.
00:44:14.000 He wrote, The United States will reassert and reinforce the Monroe Doctrine to restore American preeminence in the Western Hemisphere to protect our homeland and access to key geographies throughout the region.
00:44:25.000 So, this is something that is well known.
00:44:27.000 The left, of course, has complained about it.
00:44:29.000 And that means that anything President Trump does must be bad.
00:44:32.000 So, designating foreign drug cartels as terrorist organizations, they also believe is bad.
00:44:37.000 We saw them do it with Venezuela.
00:44:39.000 Now, Mexico, the president there, Claudia Scheinbaum, has repeatedly rejected.
00:44:45.000 She kind of did, but she doesn't really mean it, our intervention.
00:44:51.000 It is necessary to reaffirm that in Mexico, the people are in charge and that we are a free, independent, and sovereign country.
00:44:58.000 Not the cartels, cooperation, yes.
00:45:01.000 Subordination and intervention, no.
00:45:04.000 He has insisted on several occasions that the United States military be able to enter Mexico.
00:45:12.000 And we have said no very firmly.
00:45:15.000 First, because we defend our sovereignty.
00:45:17.000 And second, because it is not necessary.
00:45:23.000 Yeah, the people are in charge.
00:45:28.000 Sure.
00:45:29.000 People are in charge.
00:45:30.000 So, you know, why would you care if a few drug cartels get taken out?
00:45:34.000 Well, this weekend it turned into a war zone because of just that.
00:45:39.000 This is Dan Dix here reporting for Press for Truth coming at you here live in Puerto Vallerta, Mexico.
00:45:44.000 Just had the military driving past me, and as I understand it, I should not be around anywhere where the police or the military are because they are the target right now.
00:46:05.000 I can see the flames underneath that black smoke.
00:46:11.000 Major flames there.
00:46:36.000 That's just people having a domestic dispute.
00:46:40.000 Yeah.
00:46:41.000 No, don't take it down on the $5 rotisserie chickens.
00:46:44.000 Yeah.
00:46:45.000 That's people having a dispute because the people are in charge of their government.
00:46:48.000 That's what I mean.
00:46:48.000 Oh, okay.
00:46:49.000 Yeah.
00:46:49.000 So let me tell you exactly what happened.
00:46:51.000 The Jalisco New Generation cartel, for future, I'll just say CJNG, their leader, El Mencho, was killed by some Mexican security forces.
00:46:59.000 There wasn't any involvement of the United States outside of shared intel, from what we understand, but also there were numbers that came out that there were some American guardsmen, right?
00:47:07.000 No, no, sorry, sorry.
00:47:08.000 These are the National Guard of Mexico.
00:47:10.000 25 were killed during the internal dispute.
00:47:14.000 And there were conflicting reports coming out, so we're still kind of parsing through it, but intel was shared.
00:47:19.000 That's how we helped.
00:47:20.000 Keep in mind, this is the main competitor to the Shinaloa cartel.
00:47:24.000 Yeah.
00:47:25.000 That's El Chapo, for those of you who don't necessarily know follow, if you're not in on the brackets of the drug cartels.
00:47:32.000 And so what is happening is the cartels are now trying to, what, use terrorism.
00:47:37.000 They're trying to retain power over and discourage the government from acting.
00:47:43.000 The people of Mexico are not in charge of their own destiny.
00:47:46.000 It has been for a long time, and you know this, and all of those who are in the know have known this.
00:47:53.000 The drug cartel says jump and the government says how high.
00:47:56.000 It just depends on which drug cartel has the most power at that point.
00:48:00.000 That's why they have been designated foreign terrorist organizations.
00:48:04.000 By the way, El Mencho's henchmen did not go down.
00:48:07.000 I will give them credit where it's due, without a fight.
00:48:34.000 I always forget how terrible that motion picture was.
00:48:37.000 Terrible.
00:48:37.000 So this isn't just a problem, though, for Mexico.
00:48:41.000 Just like if Canada is communist, it's not just a problem for Canada.
00:48:43.000 If Canada has a poorest border, it's not just a problem for Canada.
00:48:45.000 It's a problem for the United States.
00:48:46.000 These cartels are a major threat to the United States.
00:48:49.000 I'm not going to have the libertarian debate about the war on drugs.
00:48:51.000 We live in reality right now, and drug cartels exist, and they do bad things.
00:48:55.000 And if you legalized all drugs tomorrow, they would still exist.
00:48:58.000 They would just do something else.
00:48:59.000 Let me direct you to some facts.
00:49:01.000 Check the references.
00:49:02.000 Here's key fact number one.
00:49:04.000 The CJNG other cartels are not just responsible for drugs of about $100 billion a year.
00:49:11.000 For example, 1 million pills, 77,000 kilograms of drugs were seized by the DEA.
00:49:17.000 But there's also human trafficking, $13 billion a year.
00:49:20.000 Now remember, there were 300,000 children lost under Biden.
00:49:23.000 We don't have the exact numbers to know which ones were directly the result of these cartels.
00:49:28.000 But here's the thing.
00:49:29.000 If you just legalized all drugs, that $13 billion a year in human trafficking would go up.
00:49:35.000 These people aren't drug dealers.
00:49:36.000 These people are criminals and terrorists who happen to make money off of drugs.
00:49:40.000 The idea that they are going to straighten up and fly right if you simply permit their behavior, like they're going to submit an IRS form, is ridiculous.
00:49:50.000 Keep in mind, when you look at, you have a contrast.
00:49:52.000 Former administration, right?
00:49:54.000 Biden, drugs, including fentanyl, skyrocketed.
00:49:56.000 The use, the importation they're in, under President Trump, just this second term, fentanyl deaths are down almost 20%.
00:50:03.000 You look at the border, which of course directly involves Mexico.
00:50:06.000 12 to 20 million completely unvetted illegals.
00:50:09.000 I get it.
00:50:09.000 Some of those are visa overstates.
00:50:10.000 It's hard to get the exact number.
00:50:11.000 Let's round it.
00:50:12.000 Let's give it an even round 15 million.
00:50:15.000 You have gangs taking over entire apartment complexes.
00:50:18.000 Compare that to President Trump.
00:50:20.000 Border crossings down by 95%.
00:50:21.000 Cartel arrests are numbering around 7,000 at this point in time.
00:50:27.000 Key fact number two, there's a reason that these people are considered terrorists.
00:50:32.000 Okay?
00:50:32.000 You saw what they did in Mexico, but they've also been doing this here.
00:50:35.000 So in 2025, Mexican National was charged with terrorism in Texas for providing material to support the CJNG cartel.
00:50:43.000 Grenades, weapons, cash, was arrested in Mexico, extradited to the United States.
00:50:50.000 For some reason, though, even with all of this being said, the left, the same left who says that waving the flag at the Olympics and chanting USA turns them off, you know what else turns them off?
00:50:59.000 Designating cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.
00:51:03.000 This comes from New York Times, Cato.
00:51:06.000 You guys will have all the references.
00:51:07.000 Brennan Center for Justice wrote, the dangerous sweep of Trump's plan to designate cartels as terrorist organizations.
00:51:13.000 I'm sure.
00:51:13.000 But you know what I think is more dangerous?
00:51:16.000 Drug cartels.
00:51:19.000 Wait, I don't know.
00:51:21.000 I mean, labels are kind of worse.
00:51:24.000 Labels, man.
00:51:25.000 Cato wrote, Trump administration shouldn't designate drug cartels as foreign terrorist organizations.
00:51:31.000 I'm sure they have some bullshit, pseudo-libertarian, really illiberal in disguise reason for it.
00:51:37.000 It's because drug cartels are scary.
00:51:39.000 Yeah, that's exactly right.
00:51:41.000 We don't want to misidentify them.
00:51:42.000 New York Times wrote how labeling cartels terrorists could hurt the U.S. economy.
00:51:47.000 What?
00:51:48.000 I mean, I guess we'd lose $100 billion in drugs per year if that's how you want to frame it.
00:51:53.000 At what point do we say these people are just anti-American across the board?
00:51:58.000 They hate, they revile the United States of America.
00:52:01.000 The left is not a part of American society.
00:52:04.000 It is no longer, the Democrat Party is no longer a political party.
00:52:08.000 They don't like the flag.
00:52:09.000 They don't like borders.
00:52:11.000 They don't like us being tough on drug cartels.
00:52:16.000 What do we do?
00:52:17.000 Balkanization almost seems okay to me at this point.
00:52:20.000 I think we may be long overdue for a divorce.
00:52:24.000 And if you say, well, why?
00:52:25.000 Aren't we all Americans?
00:52:27.000 Yeah, but you don't like the flag.
00:52:29.000 If I say, America, your stomach turns.
00:52:34.000 If I say, hey, can't we like, can't we sort of try and clamp down on drug cartels?
00:52:38.000 You go, no, no, no, that's not right.
00:52:40.000 That'd be bad for America.
00:52:41.000 And if I say why, you say, like, what do you, what, what, what, what?
00:52:47.000 How do we find common ground at this point?
00:52:49.000 And of course, these same people bitched about President Trump bombing narco-terrorist drug boats.
00:52:53.000 The Pentagons announced the U.S. blew up another boat in the Eastern Pacific, killing four people, claiming the boat was carrying drugs, but once again, offering no terrorists.
00:53:04.000 We probably saw news that last week the Trump administration took this airstrike on a boat off the coast of Venezuela.
00:53:11.000 First of all, we have no information on who was on that boat or who was killed.
00:53:17.000 It might be, as the Trump administration says, members of a drug cartel.
00:53:21.000 Well, that's some information, isn't it?
00:53:23.000 We don't know.
00:53:24.000 His stated reason for taking the strikes to try to stop the flow of drugs in the United States, it makes no sense as the centerpiece of the counter-narcotics.
00:53:33.000 Guarantee those drugs didn't make it.
00:53:34.000 Maybe in many ways, it's bringing the logic of Gaza into the Caribbean in terms of unaccountability.
00:53:40.000 That man's body generates no pigments.
00:53:42.000 And then expanding of national defense to justify.
00:53:47.000 I saw haven't thought about sexuality.
00:53:48.000 What is in effect just extrajudicial killing?
00:53:51.000 It is about separation of powers.
00:53:53.000 For the folks who wave their Constitution around, read the damn thing.
00:53:59.000 Okay.
00:54:01.000 Who waves the Constitution around?
00:54:03.000 I have.
00:54:06.000 Are you trying to say that the Constitution says that we can't designate any foreign terrorist organizations to be terrorist organizations?
00:54:13.000 Whenever the left says the Constitution, you know they're lying to you.
00:54:16.000 Just to be clear.
00:54:17.000 Whenever someone on the left says, actually, I'm a Christian, but you know they're lying to you.
00:54:21.000 And when we're talking about sinking these boats, like terrorists or no terrorists, it's sink or swim time for Mexico.
00:54:30.000 And if you let me, fan, you know, I can't swim.
00:54:40.000 So let's go to tourism.
00:54:44.000 Yeah, nailed it.
00:54:45.000 Just got some new votes.
00:54:45.000 They love you.
00:54:46.000 Yeah.
00:54:49.000 The traitors in Canada, our greatest friends.
00:54:52.000 Canada.
00:54:53.000 Ah, yeah, they're our greatest friends.
00:54:54.000 So we designate a group, domestic, sorry, foreign terrorist organizations.
00:54:58.000 They take over entire cities in Mexico and show exactly what we told you to be true, that they control governments and that that is a threat to the United States.
00:55:05.000 So what does Canada do, our greatest friend?
00:55:07.000 They encourage their people to go to Mexico.
00:55:13.000 Tourism from Canadians to Mexico, up 12%, down 28% going to the United States, because Canadians believe that it's safer than the United States for them to be in Mexico.
00:55:28.000 Hope you're enjoying it.
00:55:30.000 Your extended stay.
00:55:32.000 Here's a post from Jay Hunter.
00:55:35.000 on X wrote, last week I had a trip book to the U.S., canceled that and went to Mexico.
00:55:39.000 If you're looking for a vacation, I suggest Mexico.
00:55:42.000 The love for Canadians is real down there.
00:55:44.000 And your kidneys.
00:55:45.000 Better food, better people, better country.
00:55:49.000 Papa John's.
00:55:49.000 And they don't.
00:55:52.000 And they don't have an elderly orange rapist felon as a president.
00:55:58.000 Okay.
00:55:59.000 Okay.
00:56:00.000 So the drug cartels of Mexico are better than President Trump.
00:56:03.000 And they're better specifically for Canadians.
00:56:04.000 All right.
00:56:05.000 And the Mexican tourism minister said that Canadians going to Mexico said, I think they are choosing more friendly policies.
00:56:11.000 You know what else?
00:56:12.000 This happened when I was growing up.
00:56:13.000 Canada did this with Cuba.
00:56:14.000 You could actually argue that the people of Cuba, because there are consequences, right?
00:56:17.000 Canadians going, we're going to stick it to the United States.
00:56:19.000 I can't believe they made us a hockey, even though winning doesn't matter, right?
00:56:22.000 It just matters how you live, but we're going to Mexico.
00:56:24.000 They did the same thing with Cuba.
00:56:25.000 The people of Mexico will be under the thumb of the drug cartels as long as Canada does this.
00:56:29.000 That's why countries boycott countries, just to be clear.
00:56:33.000 That's why countries have embargoes.
00:56:34.000 That's why countries have sanctions.
00:56:35.000 Cuba.
00:56:36.000 Canadians have almost single-handedly kept the Castros and their never-ending lineage in power afloat with their tourism dollars when the United States said we're no longer allowing our people to go to Cuba.
00:56:48.000 Do you think the people, let me ask you this.
00:56:50.000 Canadians go, we're going to Cuba.
00:56:51.000 I can get some rum there at 3D free.
00:56:53.000 Whatever the hell it is.
00:56:55.000 Why do you think when Cubans get to America, well over 80% of them vote Republican and conservative?
00:57:01.000 Do you think they're happy to see Canadians go there and every dime they spend goes directly to the fascist, autocratic communist regime?
00:57:11.000 What I'm trying to say is just sticking it to America because you have a jealousy complex, it's not annoying.
00:57:18.000 It kills people.
00:57:22.000 It kills people.
00:57:24.000 I know because I was one of them.
00:57:27.000 I had to go to Cuba.
00:57:28.000 I was one of few Americans who went to both Guantanamo Bay to do some shows for the troops as an American.
00:57:33.000 And when I was young, I had to go to Cuba on a Canadian passport for a Rising Crust pizza commercial, which, by the way, pretty sure was a money laundering scheme.
00:57:41.000 Yeah, I don't see why the Rising Crust is coming out of Cuba.
00:57:45.000 Yeah, I have, well, they needed it to be set during the summer.
00:57:47.000 They needed to blow their budget.
00:57:49.000 And I remember my mom leaving a tip on a bill.
00:57:54.000 And I was a minor, I think it was 16.
00:57:56.000 And I said, mom, you know, if you do that, that's not going to go to her.
00:57:59.000 That's going to go.
00:58:00.000 And my mom said, oh, I'm sorry.
00:58:01.000 Hey, if I put that, did that go to you?
00:58:02.000 And she just kind of, my mom said, you know what?
00:58:04.000 Never mind.
00:58:05.000 Let me write that.
00:58:05.000 I'll give you cash.
00:58:06.000 She said, don't touch the bill.
00:58:08.000 Don't touch the bill.
00:58:08.000 Don't scratch the bill.
00:58:09.000 They'll know.
00:58:10.000 Like she was going to be carried away forever.
00:58:13.000 Forever.
00:58:15.000 Canadians support the government of Cuba.
00:58:17.000 Canadians support the government of Mexico in bed with the cartels while they virtue signal.
00:58:22.000 And those people will never enjoy basic freedoms.
00:58:26.000 But you know what?
00:58:27.000 You have the moral high ground, Canada, because you kill 5% of your population with euthanasia.
00:58:31.000 Now, surprise, Canadians are stuck in Mexico.
00:58:40.000 For all the Edmontonians out there, they were telling us to go over there.
00:58:49.000 But yeah, we all had to run here in Puerto Rico.
00:58:52.000 And by the way, that sucks.
00:58:54.000 If that guy's Canadian, serves you right.
00:58:56.000 Here's what Canadians don't do.
00:58:58.000 Is this right or is this wrong?
00:59:03.000 They can't answer it.
00:59:05.000 It's a godless nation.
00:59:07.000 Ironically, because they still actually have God in their national anthem, which has offended a lot of people, they have no basis to declare what is right and what is wrong.
00:59:14.000 And so, their moral compass is: we don't like America.
00:59:20.000 What will bother America?
00:59:22.000 They can't say that objectively tariffs from the United States and Canadian goods is wrong because they do it.
00:59:29.000 They do it.
00:59:30.000 If they had an objective standard of right and wrong, they would say, Well, we've done tariffs and so they're doing.
00:59:35.000 So, you know what?
00:59:36.000 That makes sense.
00:59:36.000 Maybe we should either all do away with tariffs or just sort of accept these terms.
00:59:39.000 Instead, it's we don't like America, so we should be able to do it, and they shouldn't be allowed to.
00:59:47.000 Canada has not met their NATO spending for decades.
00:59:50.000 Canada wouldn't exist as a country if not for the United States.
00:59:54.000 But instead of saying, Is it objectively wrong for us to sign a contract and not honor it?
00:59:59.000 Do they have a point?
01:00:00.000 They go, Well, we don't like America, they can afford it, so screw them.
01:00:04.000 We're gonna, we're gonna buddy up with China.
01:00:07.000 This is why you're seeing a resurgence in Christian nationalism because people need to be able to govern themselves with an objective standard of truth of right and wrong.
01:00:18.000 Canada doesn't have that.
01:00:19.000 That's why they're killing their own people in record numbers.
01:00:21.000 That's why they are allowing men to compete in women's sports and championing it.
01:00:24.000 That's why they use stupid terms like two-spirited.
01:00:26.000 It's why they implement tariffs and bitch when it happens to them.
01:00:29.000 It's why they boo the national anthem, complain when they see a meme.
01:00:32.000 And it's why they give their dollars to oppressive governments that jail political dissidents while convincing themselves that they have the moral high ground.
01:00:41.000 I really mean it.
01:00:42.000 I really, really mean it.
01:00:43.000 The United States should militarily intervene in Canada because of this and a bunch of other reasons that we've covered.
01:00:51.000 They're actually a national security threat.
01:00:55.000 They're actually a national security threat because we don't share any common ground or language as to what is right and what is wrong.
01:01:03.000 And we are not friends.
01:01:04.000 Alberta, I really hope you guys leave.
01:01:07.000 And we're not saying you have to be the 51st state.
01:01:09.000 We'll just have a relationship with you.
01:01:11.000 But I think our relationship with Canada needs to be done with.
01:01:14.000 It's over.
01:01:15.000 It is an immoral, godless, conquered people who only take, they don't give.
01:01:21.000 Can anyone tell me this?
01:01:21.000 How has Canada benefited the world in any significant measure?
01:01:28.000 They'll say they have a peacekeeping force.
01:01:30.000 Whatever.
01:01:30.000 So do we.
01:01:30.000 It's called the United States military.
01:01:32.000 What have they done?
01:01:34.000 They've had more time than the United States in many ways.
01:01:41.000 You guys may not know this.
01:01:42.000 And they certainly had a leg up because they didn't fight royalty.
01:01:45.000 They bowed to them.
01:01:48.000 Why isn't the rest of the world saying, dear, when an earthquake happens, when a tsunami happens?
01:01:53.000 Why are they saying, dear God, I hope the Canadians help us?
01:01:57.000 You're selfish pricks, Canada, and you mistreat everyone.
01:02:03.000 We are only as valuable to you as the handouts we give.
01:02:06.000 And I don't think we should be doing that anymore.
01:02:08.000 By the way, I know we've gone late, but we are going to continue for a while because we had some technical difficulties.
01:02:12.000 Warren Smith is going to be on the show, but we'll continue to Rumble Premium Mug Club.

01:02:30.000 This next man, let me play the clip before he comes on.
01:02:35.000 You may, many of you are familiar with him.
01:02:37.000 Some of you may not be.
01:02:38.000 Warren Smith on X.
01:02:39.000 It's WT Smith17.
01:02:41.000 And he is on Rumble and YouTube, the Secret Scholar Society.
01:02:45.000 Sorry, I have to read it because it's always hard for me to keep track of Consolidate, Warren.
01:02:49.000 You're a professor.
01:02:50.000 Come on, simple.
01:02:51.000 But he was a teacher.
01:02:56.000 And we're seeing a lot of this now, where you're seeing people from other professions then go into media almost because they're compelled.
01:03:04.000 It wasn't necessarily their choice to do this full-time.
01:03:07.000 For those of you who are unfamiliar, Warren Smith became famous for really being fired for this exchange that he had with a student about J.K. Rowling.
01:03:19.000 And I know what you're thinking.
01:03:19.000 He wasn't fired for this because it's exactly how an exchange with a teacher should go.
01:03:24.000 She said, dress however you please.
01:03:27.000 Call yourself whatever you like.
01:03:29.000 Sleep with any consenting adult who will have you live your best life in peace and security, but force women out of their jobs for starting that for stating that sex is real.
01:03:43.000 So let's pause it.
01:03:44.000 Let's not go with what other people are saying.
01:03:46.000 Let's try and learn how to critically think.
01:03:48.000 So let's analyze the tweet ourselves.
01:03:51.000 So that statement, do you see anything problematic disregarding other people's goodness?
01:04:00.000 She did try and pin some things on a specific group of people.
01:04:10.000 Where does she do that?
01:04:11.000 Can you read that?
01:04:12.000 But force women out of their jobs for stating that sex is real.
01:04:18.000 So when I hear that, I'm interpreting that as meaning if a woman says that, you know, saying that there is a difference between men and female and then being attacked as transphobic.
01:04:28.000 I think that's what she's saying by attacking someone for stating that sex is real.
01:04:33.000 That is exactly what she's saying.
01:04:35.000 Is that transphobic to you?
01:04:37.000 So to me, no.
01:04:40.000 Stating that sex is real is not transphobic.
01:04:43.000 It's just a fact of life.
01:04:45.000 It exists.
01:04:47.000 Fired for that.
01:04:50.000 You know the real reason he was fired?
01:04:52.000 Because by the end of that, the student seemingly changed his mind and re-evalued how he thought.
01:05:00.000 We can't have that in our trusted institutions.
01:05:02.000 Show them you love them.
01:05:04.000 Please welcome Warren Smith to the show.
01:05:10.000 Mr. Smith, thank you for being here, sir.
01:05:12.000 Can you see me, hear me?
01:05:13.000 How are you?
01:05:14.000 I can.
01:05:15.000 Thanks for having me.
01:05:15.000 I'm good.
01:05:17.000 I'm glad that you're here.
01:05:18.000 Look, your set is, it's been upgraded since back then, I noticed, because this is your full-time gig now, right?
01:05:25.000 It is.
01:05:26.000 Yes.
01:05:27.000 Never would have expected it, but it is.
01:05:29.000 Yeah, I see this a lot.
01:05:31.000 People like you who have a realm of expertise, which is what we need, and kind of dragged into this kicking and screaming, not kicking and screaming, but basically you wanted to be a teacher.
01:05:41.000 And through teaching, it was deemed so unacceptable that now you teach online and reach more people.
01:05:46.000 Can you explain to folks who are maybe new to you how that went down?
01:05:51.000 Because I remember they even like seized your computer back then, right?
01:05:57.000 Yeah, so that video we just looked at kind of went viral, I guess.
01:06:03.000 There was, things got very strange literally the day after Pierce Morgan had me on.
01:06:09.000 And then the school's lawyers sat down with me and they were like, well, you didn't break any rules.
01:06:16.000 So congratulations.
01:06:20.000 I hope nothing goes wrong in the future, you know, insinuating you're walking a fine line here, but we don't have anything right now.
01:06:28.000 There was a great deal of pushback from many of the teachers I was working with.
01:06:33.000 There was definitely a sense of anger that most people, they don't want to say it to your face.
01:06:41.000 And I was working with the music teacher.
01:06:43.000 We started recording in this space every Friday.
01:06:46.000 We're like, well, this is interesting.
01:06:48.000 We had been making some videos just for like class lessons and exercises because I was teaching content creation, essentially.
01:06:55.000 Okay.
01:06:56.000 Working with cameras.
01:06:57.000 So it was already the medium I was teaching.
01:07:02.000 And he was telling me stories like, man, they are looking for any reason to get rid of you.
01:07:08.000 So you've really got to be careful.
01:07:11.000 And that went for a while for about a month or two.
01:07:15.000 And I thought there's like an 80% chance they're just not going to renew my contract this summer.
01:07:20.000 And I thought that's what would happen, but it wasn't.
01:07:22.000 And it came out a door.
01:07:24.000 Yeah.
01:07:25.000 Yeah.
01:07:25.000 And they fired it.
01:07:26.000 It didn't help that you mooned the whole faculty from what I hear.
01:07:29.000 Justified.
01:07:31.000 Wow.
01:07:31.000 I mean, and here's the thing: the reason, too, you know, I've watched a lot of your content.
01:07:35.000 And, you know, there's people often say like the debate bro sphere.
01:07:39.000 I'm sure.
01:07:40.000 I'm just using that as an encapsulation.
01:07:42.000 And you, I definitely see you taking more of an approach that's similar to how I do, because I was never a debater.
01:07:49.000 We didn't have debate club in high school as a comedian and started doing the show where mine was always just an approach of the Socratic method.
01:07:56.000 And then sometimes people will say, like, it's just a polite way to sort of trap people, but I noticed that you do that a lot.
01:08:03.000 Can you explain to people, and I don't want to miscategorize, like, it seems like that's your approach.
01:08:08.000 Why do you take it and how fruitful has it been?
01:08:11.000 I think it's because it is intuitive.
01:08:14.000 It is something you can learn and hone, but I think the potential resides with all within all of us.
01:08:19.000 And it just naturally comes out if you're genuinely trying to, if you're seeing these flaws and you're trying to navigate them and you're doing it in an honest way or objectively, it's inevitably going to happen because how else are you going to get through?
01:08:33.000 You're just going layer by layer, peeling the onion back to try essentially getting to the recognition that none of us know as much as we think we know, but it's not a reason not to strive for knowing.
01:08:47.000 But yeah, I think it's ingrained, just similar to language.
01:08:50.000 The capacity is like, I believe it's embedded within the very fabric of reality.
01:08:57.000 Like language, it's ingrained within us, but then we learn the words, the language that you speak, but the capacity to speak, I think we're born with.
01:09:06.000 Yeah.
01:09:07.000 I also think it's the way you applied it is pretty fair because, you know, today it's very easy to try and conduct a conversation for clips, being aware that there will be a clip and a highlight.
01:09:17.000 And sometimes the Socratic method doesn't always lend itself well to that.
01:09:20.000 But if you take the conversation in its totality, it's usually a very fair way to approach it, regardless of where you line up.
01:09:27.000 And have you felt that?
01:09:28.000 Because I would even say you with Nick Fuentes, you interviewed, and people will say, platforming.
01:09:33.000 I always tell people, actually, this is a good one to go watch.
01:09:36.000 You and Nick Fuentes, because it was fruitful, but it wasn't just combative.
01:09:40.000 Yeah.
01:09:41.000 And you just said you're not, you didn't start out as a debater, but I would consider you as one of the top debaters working today.
01:09:47.000 And you use that similar method when you're on college campuses.
01:09:50.000 I mean, those, I've been watching your content for years.
01:09:52.000 That's one of the reasons it's so compelling because it is obviously you have a point of view, but you're fair with them, right?
01:10:01.000 And you're going question by question.
01:10:03.000 But yeah, with Nick Fuentes, yeah, you just it's it's not trying to win.
01:10:12.000 I always try and remind myself, like the only when you're going into these exchanges, there's always this because this could go wrong at any time, and it probably will eventually.
01:10:20.000 But the only solution I've seen is to not try to win, but to genuinely try and gain a better understanding.
01:10:28.000 We're all trying to figure out what is true.
01:10:30.000 And if that's your genuine pursuit, then you're not going to, there's, it's, it's impossible to lose as long as you don't corner yourself on some, no, this is this, I'm, I'm guaranteeing this is right.
01:10:42.000 You just, you're able to adapt and grow.
01:10:45.000 And so that's what happened with Nick.
01:10:47.000 Well, I thought, and I thought it was very productive.
01:10:47.000 Yeah.
01:10:49.000 Same thing for me.
01:10:50.000 Genuinely curious because I've noticed some what I viewed as not only even inconsistencies, but I noticed some sort of divergences with him and myself.
01:10:58.000 I'm going, well, this is reasonable, but if you consider yourself more conservative, how do you hold these beliefs?
01:11:03.000 And there are a lot of people who just went, well, no, no, you just got to attack, attack, attack.
01:11:07.000 Have you seen me interview the first transgender mayor of Texas?
01:11:10.000 Like, it's the same approach, even though I think that's a crazy person.
01:11:14.000 For me, it comes from, and I think there's a little bit, maybe, correct me if I'm wrong.
01:11:19.000 You're a teacher, right?
01:11:20.000 So invariably, you're going to be more knowledgeable than your students.
01:11:24.000 And so you naturally have to sort of bridle that because your job is to teach them.
01:11:29.000 And ideally, I always say if a teacher is good, at the end of the year, every student would be getting close to 100%.
01:11:35.000 We're not trying to trap them.
01:11:36.000 We're trying to get them to understand the material.
01:11:39.000 As a comedian, I want you to deal with hecklers, where it's the fastest path to shutting them down, hopefully, you know, watch their soul evaporate in their body so they stop disrupting the show.
01:11:49.000 I was like, now I can't do that here if my goal is to convince people.
01:11:52.000 I would imagine it's the same thing for you because you're supremely capable in a position of authority as a teacher.
01:11:58.000 You have to go, okay, let me scale this back and meet them on their level.
01:12:02.000 Yeah, in the classroom, it's very different.
01:12:04.000 And I consider it kind of like a blank slate method where you're just analyzing the incoming information and I'm just looking for flaw filters in a way.
01:12:12.000 Usually in all of these debates, that's how I, it's like, I have a, I imagine a little red dial goes off anytime that dial goes off when there is a flaw.
01:12:20.000 Now there's something to pounce on.
01:12:22.000 And you're, and yeah, you're right.
01:12:24.000 There is a time and place to pounce, right?
01:12:27.000 It's now that I'm in this space and occasionally debating with people.
01:12:33.000 Yeah, it can be a, it can be more of a game because they're playing a game.
01:12:37.000 The students are very different.
01:12:38.000 They're coming at it often in a more innocent, genuine way out of ignorance often.
01:12:42.000 Yes.
01:12:43.000 It's very different.
01:12:44.000 And you have to, in the classroom, it's very, it is very important to strive for objectivity because we've seen how that goes awry with a teacher who's leaning to the left heavily, heavily.
01:12:56.000 It's very different than applying the Socratic method.
01:12:58.000 They're being like, no, you're wrong for thinking this.
01:13:01.000 And they don't show, they tell.
01:13:03.000 That's the biggest component because my background is in filmmaking and the laws of narrative, studying screenwriting for years and years and years.
01:13:10.000 And somehow that led me to this point.
01:13:11.000 But all those, a lot of those skills are really useful.
01:13:14.000 I've been realizing that.
01:13:15.000 And you would never think that.
01:13:17.000 But the laws of narrative are the laws of engagement grounded in psychology.
01:13:21.000 And all that is playing into this.
01:13:22.000 So the biggest tip I could give people for a debate is show, don't tell.
01:13:26.000 Like you got to show them why.
01:13:28.000 I can't just tell you you're wrong.
01:13:29.000 Right.
01:13:30.000 And you do a good job of that too in your debates.
01:13:32.000 Well, sometimes I'm a Hammond Egger who kind of just had to do it.
01:13:35.000 The change of mind thing, like we talked about, was that on cable news where I was at Fox News for four and a half years, I said, no one will ever do this.
01:13:40.000 It has to be four minutes in a quadrant view.
01:13:42.000 I said, I kind of think that people would like to see an actual conversation where we hash our ideas out.
01:13:47.000 It wasn't a thing back then, so I didn't really know what to call it.
01:13:50.000 But going back to teachers, professors, since you've been in academia, if you were handed the keys to like a major university, let's say tomorrow, what would be one of like the very first policies that you would either instate or abolish to specifically correct the imbalance like you're talking about there, a viewpoint diversity therein?
01:14:14.000 I would get rid of tenure first because it makes it impossible.
01:14:18.000 And you would have it merit-based, performance-based.
01:14:24.000 I don't know how to fix tuition, but that needs to be solved.
01:14:28.000 I would stop the because that financial structure, when I was in graduate school, 60 to 70%, probably over 70% of the students were directly from China, like because they could pay more money in tuition.
01:14:42.000 I had multiple classes where I was the only American student, and in some classes, the only non-Chinese student, and they would be speaking Chinese in the class.
01:14:49.000 This is in Boston, Emerson College.
01:14:53.000 Yeah, I would not kowtow to the nonsense that we're seeing and allow, I would embrace this technology.
01:15:00.000 I would embrace live streaming.
01:15:03.000 So Penn State, Sam Richards, is doing this.
01:15:05.000 He's the only one I've seen doing it.
01:15:07.000 And he's, I've been talking to him behind the scenes.
01:15:09.000 And I don't think he would mind me saying this, but he's terrified that the college is going to fire him at any point.
01:15:16.000 And so I'm always talking to him, like, man, the kids are hungry to disagree.
01:15:22.000 Let them.
01:15:23.000 He's like, I'm just worried something's going to go wrong.
01:15:26.000 And there's a, but I would embrace this new medium.
01:15:30.000 Let people see what you're doing.
01:15:32.000 Embrace transparency.
01:15:34.000 And that becomes a recruitment tool as well.
01:15:36.000 And just broadcast it.
01:15:37.000 Like his class has become number one for that reason because he just says, we're going to live stream the whole thing.
01:15:42.000 That also does it.
01:15:44.000 That also explains something, you know, inner workings there because change my mind also.
01:15:47.000 They weren't always on campus.
01:15:48.000 The first ones were me with a sandwich board just, you know, in like a town square.
01:15:53.000 It was a call to the professors.
01:15:55.000 We always asked the professors to come out and talk and they never would.
01:15:59.000 But now we have one scheduled with, I believe, UPenn in March.
01:16:02.000 Someone has stepped up.
01:16:03.000 But that kind of explains why so many professors, they were usually the ones requesting we be banned from campus.
01:16:08.000 If it's really a culture of a monolith and bullying behind the scenes, it's one thing for 94% of all donations in higher education to go to the Democrat Party.
01:16:18.000 Like that's definitive.
01:16:20.000 It's another for them to disallow people from even having a different opinion, even if they're using the Socratic method.
01:16:27.000 It's that's really scary to think about.
01:16:29.000 And you said this was, this is when you were in film school, they were all Chinese students.
01:16:33.000 Why do their movies still suck so bad?
01:16:35.000 Yeah, this was graduate school.
01:16:37.000 So I started in 2016, three years.
01:16:40.000 I was in college for nine years.
01:16:44.000 Looking back, I don't regret it because it got me to where I am.
01:16:47.000 I wouldn't recommend it, though, the cost of tuition, everything, especially like I wanted to be a filmmaker.
01:16:54.000 And I had a lot of great experiences, but it's a dying industry.
01:16:58.000 I wouldn't, anyone listening to this who's considering that path, don't do it.
01:17:01.000 There's alternatives.
01:17:02.000 That's what I'm teaching now for Emerson College, which is surprising that they're still letting me do it.
01:17:08.000 But it is like the anti-film school film class kind of, and I just feel like in five weeks, I'll teach you what I really think is most important, everything you need to know, save your money.
01:17:18.000 It's that kind of thing.
01:17:19.000 Yeah, the industry is dying.
01:17:21.000 It's an interesting conversation to have.
01:17:23.000 Mine would be content creation 101.
01:17:25.000 Make sure the thumbnail has tits and I'd see you next semester.
01:17:29.000 That's really what it is.
01:17:30.000 At the end of the day, it's changing.
01:17:32.000 Oh, it's so rapid.
01:17:32.000 Yeah.
01:17:33.000 That's what I'm teaching.
01:17:34.000 Even the algorithms, everything changes where you can have a handbook one month and then the very next month it changes.
01:17:34.000 Yeah.
01:17:39.000 I mean, we had to deal with that with the box at Pocalypse.
01:17:41.000 And I, you know, I did two semesters of film school before I bombed out horribly and just never.
01:17:48.000 I can kind of tell watching your stuff.
01:17:50.000 And that's something I resonate with you with.
01:17:52.000 Where you're like saving private Ryan, those sketches.
01:17:55.000 It's awesome.
01:17:56.000 Thank you.
01:17:57.000 Oh, that went a good direction.
01:17:58.000 I thought you could.
01:17:58.000 I was like, he flunked out.
01:18:00.000 No, you can definitely tell that.
01:18:01.000 I have nightmares about people finding my second semester transcript because I just didn't show up.
01:18:05.000 I was just doing stand-up every night and showing up late in class and writing peanut butter on bread.
01:18:10.000 It's a waste of time, largely.
01:18:12.000 Yeah, plus I was also supremely incapable.
01:18:14.000 So it's both.
01:18:14.000 It's a little bit of both.
01:18:16.000 I doubt it.
01:18:17.000 Yeah, I'm glad someone's here.
01:18:18.000 We brought in what, a metric, an actual ton of sand to do it where we, you know, people have no idea.
01:18:23.000 No, people on the right, it's like it's the podcast.
01:18:25.000 I'm like, well, it's not really what we do.
01:18:26.000 I was just Daniel Day-Lewis's Bill the Butcher for like nine hours last week.
01:18:30.000 That's true.
01:18:31.000 And, you know, it takes a lot of work to make something this silly.
01:18:33.000 Look, speaking of which, I know we had technical difficulties today.
01:18:36.000 I'd love for you to stick with me and take some chats on Mud Club Rumble Premium.
01:18:39.000 But before we go, can you tell people the best place to find you and watch not only your content, but really what I see is online lessons?
01:18:47.000 Yeah, it's on YouTube primarily.
01:18:49.000 And I apologize the handles and names, but Secret Scholar Society or Warren Smith on YouTube.
01:18:55.000 Yeah.
01:18:55.000 That's where I'm focusing.
01:18:56.000 If you want to really generate, you just make all the handles, the professor with tits, and then you will make a killing.
01:19:02.000 For those of you who click that button, we're going to take some chats with Mr. Warren Smith.
01:19:06.000 Let's go, Toolman, go because we have the thing.
01:20:48.000 It's funny.
01:20:50.000 My inner toolman's like, are you ready?
01:20:53.000 Yeah, no, I said, oh, oh, shit, because I just thought of something that has nothing to do with this.
01:20:57.000 It was two things.
01:20:58.000 One, I forgot to tell people who aren't members are going to Tim Poole.
01:21:01.000 And then I also have blood work later today I do.
01:21:03.000 And I forgot.
01:21:05.000 I'm supposed to be fasted and I have honey in my tea.
01:21:07.000 Oh, I thought I just messed it all up.
01:21:11.000 Warren Smith, anyway, he's still here.
01:21:16.000 So, hey, let me ask you this.
01:21:20.000 Have you ever applied the Socratic method to, like, have you ever applied it to any of your own views?
