00:00:26.000 ["Mr. Duncan's Dirt"]

00:00:30.000 Good.

00:00:31.000 Made it.

00:00:33.000 Excellent.

00:00:34.000 Now all you have to do is access that fascist computer mainframe. 0.54

00:00:41.000 This will be too easy. 0.99

00:00:43.000 Smash the fu- Oh my non-conforming, genderless, non-binary, two-spirited god. 1.00

00:00:51.000 What's happening? 0.98

00:00:51.000 Did they find you? 0.98

00:00:52.000 No.

00:00:53.000 They have no search history.

00:00:54.000 Abort! 0.99

00:00:55.000 Abort! 0.99

00:00:55.000 River Moon, get out of there! 0.99

00:00:57.000 At least what you do online is your business.

00:01:11.000 Protect your business.

00:01:13.000 ExpressVPN.

00:01:14.000 There.

00:01:19.000 We'll have to fire him.

00:01:20.000 Yeah.

00:01:21.000 It's more protective.

00:01:22.000 And you know what?

00:01:23.000 The funny thing is we use this ExpressVPN and we have a few sponsors. 0.87

00:01:25.000 Sponsors who have the balls to support the show.

00:01:27.000 We use ExpressVPN, speaking of big tech, with the Tulsi Gabbard stuff long before.

00:01:31.000 We did, yeah.

00:01:32.000 It happened just changing our VPNs and actually seeing the kind of search algorithms that were manipulated.

00:01:37.000 And we're glad to have them as a sponsor.

00:01:38.000 Go to expressvpn.com slash Crowder.

00:01:41.000 And what is it?

00:01:42.000 They get an extra, you get an extra three months free.

00:01:44.000 Three months free!

00:01:45.000 And there have been no data breaches like other VPNs out there who advertise on a lot of podcasts, which is funny because it almost defeats the purpose of a VPN.

00:01:54.000 Kind of like someone who was a member of the press being a press secretary defeats the purpose of an open and fair

00:01:58.000 press music playing...

00:02:00.000 music playing... 0.57

00:02:06.000 You're a strange animal, that's what I know. You're a strange animal, I've got to follow. I'm gonna speed it up. 0.87

00:02:29.000 Mmm. 0.99

00:02:34.000 That's called a damn good sip. 0.98

00:02:37.000 We got a good show for you today, isn't that right, fellas? 0.99

00:02:41.000 We got a damn good show. 0.95

00:02:42.000 Wait, you're not even playing ball! 0.99

00:02:43.000 Alright, I guess I'll plug the Hodge Twins.

00:02:45.000 Let me try this again. 0.69

00:02:47.000 We got a damn good show for you today, isn't that right, fellas? 0.98

00:02:49.000 We got a damn good show. 0.98

00:02:52.000 Yeah. 0.96

00:02:54.000 Hodge Twins, you can follow them, Conservative Twins, and what is it?

00:02:57.000 OfficialHodgeTwins.com?

00:02:59.000 Yeah, that's it.

00:03:00.000 That's our website.

00:03:01.000 And what can people do?

00:03:02.000 They can what?

00:03:02.000 They can support us by buying our t-shirts, merchandise, beard products.

00:03:07.000 By picking out a patriotic t-shirt today.

00:03:10.000 Yeah.

00:03:10.000 Use discount code CIRCLEBACK.

00:03:12.000 Oh my gosh, just don't wear it to a riot.

00:03:14.000 It's impossible to support their business.

00:03:16.000 It's almost like they don't want it.

00:03:18.000 Gerald A. is here, Quarter Black is here, he's accepted amongst no communities. 1.00

00:03:23.000 That's untrue, man.

00:03:24.000 We do have a big show for you today.

00:03:25.000 We have Ted Cruz on, Senator Ted Cruz later on, and I know I told you guys we're not going to be lobbing softballs.

00:03:31.000 Got some tough questions for him on the impeachment, on some of his comments, and hopefully he gives us some answers.

00:03:36.000 We have a lot to get to.

00:03:37.000 We have Gina Carano, we have Mark Cuban, we have the impeachment, a recap of that.

00:03:41.000 Sorry you guys had to sit through the first day of impeachment.

00:03:43.000 That was horrible.

00:03:45.000 The beer helped.

00:03:45.000 Yeah, the beer helped.

00:03:46.000 Well, with them it took half a beer, and they were completely sloshed.

00:03:51.000 That's a white boy beer!

00:03:52.000 It's like, why do you gotta bring race into it?

00:03:55.000 When he just leaned back, he was like, whoa.

00:03:58.000 Although, the Bavarian purity law for brewing methods could be misconstrued as white supremacy.

00:04:04.000 But we're gonna be talking about a lot of it, but first, hey, you know, we of course appreciate our African American, it's Black History Month!

00:04:11.000 Praise!

00:04:12.000 Praise me!

00:04:13.000 There it is! 0.98

00:04:15.000 And we're going to celebrate it by firing a quarter black producer who triggered the wrong... Hey! 1.00

00:04:19.000 It's a trend. 0.96

00:04:20.000 Are you good for moving forward?

00:04:21.000 You got everything in order?

00:04:22.000 Alright, so this is where we educate you on some little known... You all know about Rosa Parks.

00:04:25.000 You all know about Harriet Tubman.

00:04:27.000 Who is that?

00:04:28.000 Harriet Tubman.

00:04:28.000 Very well known.

00:04:29.000 She created the Amtrak.

00:04:33.000 But there's some info that you don't know out there, so give us a tidbit there, Quarterback Garrett.

00:04:33.000 But she did.

00:04:37.000 So, I got this news.

00:04:38.000 Breaking, you know, history.

00:04:40.000 We're making history.

00:04:41.000 Kamala Harris is the first black person.

00:04:43.000 She is the first black person.

00:04:46.000 The cradle of civilization.

00:04:48.000 Lies with Kamala Harris.

00:04:50.000 Just don't look at her.

00:04:51.000 Your face will melt.

00:04:52.000 She's also the first Indian.

00:04:53.000 She's also the first floozy in the office who slept her way to the... It's hard. 0.98

00:04:58.000 I hate it when people... Sexually independent.

00:05:02.000 This has been going on for a long time. 0.97

00:05:03.000 People have been marginalizing black women's work. 0.97

00:05:06.000 And whoring yourself out to politicians for cabinet positions, that is work.

00:05:10.000 It is hard work.

00:05:11.000 It's difficult.

00:05:12.000 Stop marginalizing it.

00:05:15.000 You didn't do it.

00:05:18.000 Walk a mile.

00:05:20.000 And we're going to be talking about... I'm very... Listen.

00:05:23.000 Mass voter fraud is real.

00:05:24.000 Can't say it affected the election.

00:05:25.000 Mass voter fraud is real.

00:05:27.000 We have some interns right now in Vegas doing the trip that we could not afford to do right now with my knee, so we'll have some more verification there.

00:05:33.000 The thing is, I can't make claims that I can't personally verify, and so we can personally verify dozens of the thousands that we've found, and I will swear to that under penalty of perjury.

00:05:43.000 So we have a lot of work going on here behind the scenes.

00:05:45.000 Mass Motor Fraud is real!

00:05:46.000 Change my mind.

00:05:46.000 That's coming up soon.

00:05:48.000 But in the vein, of course, of racism, you all know Aunt Jemima's name and logo has been replaced.

00:05:53.000 This is a big story with Pearl Milling Company.

00:05:56.000 You guys saw this?

00:05:58.000 Yeah.

00:05:58.000 Unfortunately, the replacement bottle was received as equally tone deaf.

00:06:02.000 And that's, well, you know, different times.

00:06:06.000 That actually is an improvement.

00:06:11.000 If you guys think that they're just this way on air, why don't you go to the bathroom together?

00:06:16.000 That's weird.

00:06:16.000 It's okay, it's okay, they haven't had caffeine yet.

00:06:18.000 Look, Timmy and Tommy Tibble, if you guys think that they're just this way on air, they are, they go to the bath- why do

00:06:24.000 you go to the bathroom together?

00:06:25.000 That's weird. It's a twin thing.

00:06:27.000 You wouldn't understand. When it's a onesie.

00:06:30.000 Yesterday they were in my office doing a cameo.

00:06:30.000 What's going on?

00:06:33.000 Yeah, twins, you sure you guys shouldn't be on OnlyFans?

00:06:34.000 They were doing a cameo.

00:06:36.000 And I hear them in my office and I hear like, MAN SHUT UP! 0.98

00:06:39.000 NO YOU RUINERS! 1.00

00:06:39.000 SHUT UP! 1.00

00:06:40.000 And I go in and like my microphone is on the floor. 0.98

00:06:43.000 Everything is on rock.

00:06:45.000 What did you do in there?

00:06:46.000 Those cameos get intense.

00:06:48.000 They do.

00:06:49.000 They seem like a piece of cake, but I don't know.

00:06:52.000 They get tough after a while.

00:06:53.000 Alright, so this is a story obviously that's going on right now.

00:06:55.000 First, let's check in with CNN really quickly.

00:06:58.000 Or is it reform or change of direction?

00:07:00.000 Oh, we're still talking about impeachment.

00:07:01.000 Well, we'll talk about why all of that is false.

00:07:03.000 But the story trending this morning, listen.

00:07:05.000 I want to be clear about this.

00:07:07.000 This isn't an empty gesture.

00:07:08.000 Gina Carano, I've been following her for a very long time.

00:07:10.000 Not only will we have you on the show, I will hire you personally.

00:07:13.000 I'll hire you as a team striking coach.

00:07:15.000 I don't care.

00:07:16.000 If you need a job, we have one for you here at Ladderworth Crowder.

00:07:19.000 There are 70 million plus Americans who have your back.

00:07:22.000 And this is the problem.

00:07:23.000 The leftist mob comes and they destroy people's careers.

00:07:26.000 And what they do is they're basically saying, we want you destitute.

00:07:28.000 We don't want to be able to provide for your family for the rest of your life. 1.00

00:07:31.000 It's effectively, we want you dead. 1.00

00:07:32.000 We want you under a bridge somewhere. 0.98

00:07:34.000 They're doing this with Gina Carano, so Lucasfilm, Disney, they fired Gina Carano from the Disney, the Mandalorian is that show, over posts that they called abhorrent. 0.98

00:07:45.000 Here are the posts that they called abhorrent, we have them right here.

00:07:47.000 Yeah, people were saying she's transphobic, people were saying that she's anti-mask, and people were saying that she's showing Holocaust material.

00:07:55.000 Can you read that for me there, Tokunawa, and read what she wrote?

00:07:57.000 She wrote, listen, and I don't think that you should compare a whole lot to the Holocaust, generally speaking.

00:08:01.000 But this was a valid, she wasn't saying all liberals were Nazis.

00:08:05.000 It's the famous quote, first they came for the Jews. 0.99

00:08:07.000 She was talking about, what we've talked about, the dehumanizing of voices of opposition.

00:08:11.000 How is she transphobic?

00:08:13.000 She said, I want my pronouns today to be beep, boop, bop.

00:08:16.000 Oh, the humanity!

00:08:17.000 She's transphobic because she just didn't want to put her pronouns in.

00:08:20.000 She didn't want to put her pronouns in because they were having pressure for it.

00:08:22.000 Then how is she anti-mask?

00:08:24.000 She showed a picture of a guy wearing a bunch of masks.

00:08:26.000 We did that in a commercial!

00:08:27.000 That's hilarious, come on!

00:08:29.000 And then she basically put a post up saying this is what happens when you... Can you read the part of that post there for me, Tokunawa?

00:08:35.000 Yeah, so Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews.

00:08:38.000 The government first made their own neighbors hate them simply for being Jews.

00:08:40.000 How is that any different from hating someone for their political views?

00:08:43.000 Yeah.

00:08:43.000 Right?

00:08:44.000 Oh, there's context to that?

00:08:46.000 And by the way, the hating of the Jews was married with their political views a lot of the time.

00:08:51.000 They tried to marry it with the Bolsheviks. 0.90

00:08:52.000 And listen, let's not get into all of the Nazism because some people will still tell me that I'm crazy because I think the National Socialist Party is socialist!

00:09:02.000 It's one of those things.

00:09:03.000 But that's how they do it.

00:09:04.000 They lay the groundwork first. 0.52

00:09:05.000 So the minute she comes out to defend herself, you're like, oh, that's a fascist. 0.97

00:09:08.000 She's somebody who's just absolutely abhorrent. 1.00

00:09:10.000 Is that that abhorrent beep-boop-bop bitch? 1.00

00:09:13.000 Right. 1.00

00:09:14.000 How dare she post that and then also prove her point? 0.93

00:09:17.000 Yeah.

00:09:17.000 Right.

00:09:18.000 AOC said the ice camps at the border was our concentration camps.

00:09:21.000 Yeah.

00:09:22.000 So that's the difference.

00:09:23.000 Everybody can use that comparison, unless you're a conservative, apparently.

00:09:27.000 And she actually, she also tweeted out something about the election, right?

00:09:29.000 About election fraud, saying, basically, all we want is to make sure, and it was a longer tweet, but just want to make sure we have free and fair elections.

00:09:36.000 Let's just investigate and make sure everything's good.

00:09:38.000 That's cancel-worthy.

00:09:38.000 So that you don't wake up questioning.

00:09:40.000 And this is the theme of the day, by the way.

00:09:42.000 Disney, mass market in China, we'll get to Mark Cuban refusing to play the national anthem, appeasing communist China, and then of course the impeachment.

00:09:49.000 I mean, you have Eric Swalwell, whose forte is banging Chinese spies! 0.78

00:09:55.000 I think he may be the one person she didn't sleep with. 0.98

00:09:57.000 Go to a dirty Asian masseuse massage parlor and they have his picture on the wall like a dry cleaner as a celebrity regular client. 1.00

00:10:04.000 He's talking about foreign interference? 0.99

00:10:06.000 Eric Swalwell, you bang Chinese spies.

00:10:10.000 That is your legacy. 1.00

00:10:11.000 Anthony Weiner showed his penis. 1.00

00:10:13.000 You have sex with Chinese women. 1.00

00:10:15.000 Could have been worse. 1.00

00:10:16.000 We have several worse today, but China is one of the themes, and they want to cancel this woman, Gina Carano.

00:10:23.000 I've followed her for a long time.

00:10:25.000 No one has a bad word to say about her personally, and this is what they do.

00:10:28.000 They depersonalize people.

00:10:29.000 They dehumanize people.

00:10:31.000 Well, really, she's transphobic.

00:10:32.000 She's not transphobic. 0.95

00:10:33.000 Well, really, she's transphobic, anti-Semitic, which that could not be less anti-Semitic, and anti-mask. 0.98

00:10:41.000 Well, you know what? 0.71

00:10:41.000 You know who else was anti-double-mask? 0.71

00:10:43.000 After he was pro-double-mask and now he's anti-double-mask and now he's pro-double-mask again.

00:10:43.000 Fauci!

00:10:47.000 We're gonna divide him into three masks!

00:10:48.000 And the CDC before they change their stance.

00:10:50.000 Or the NIH director as well.

00:10:51.000 I mean, all these people.

00:10:53.000 Trust the science and ignore your internet time machine.

00:10:57.000 Because science never changes.

00:11:00.000 Two weeks ago!

00:11:01.000 This isn't like forever ago that Fauci was against these two masks.

00:11:04.000 It was one week ago.

00:11:05.000 It was one week ago.

00:11:06.000 I was being generous.

00:11:07.000 It was our first show back.

00:11:08.000 I was trying to be generous.

00:11:09.000 He's like, there's no science for that.

00:11:11.000 And I was like, turns out now I say there is.

00:11:15.000 And I'm Science Guy, so it's true!

00:11:18.000 What does that say about the CDC?

00:11:20.000 Over 40,000 people have died from the coronavirus.

00:11:23.000 If that was true, you took, what, almost a year to tell us that?

00:11:26.000 Yeah.

00:11:27.000 Oh, by the way!

00:11:28.000 Feels like they're wearing two.

00:11:30.000 Our bad.

00:11:30.000 Hey, simple question, and I know people will say this is reductive.

00:11:32.000 If masks work so well, Why haven't they?

00:11:35.000 Some people say, because you haven't worn the mask. 1.00

00:11:37.000 Oh, shut up. 0.99

00:11:38.000 Everyone's been wearing masks. 1.00

00:11:39.000 It looks like a Japanese subway for crying out loud.

00:11:41.000 If it works so well, why don't we shut down?

00:11:44.000 Yeah.

00:11:45.000 It's masks, then social distancing, and now they're still telling people, even if you have a vaccine, you've got to wear a mask.

00:11:49.000 What's the point of getting a vaccine?

00:11:51.000 I don't like needles.

00:11:52.000 You need to get a second vaccine.

00:11:53.000 For fun!

00:11:54.000 You get vaccine for fun, like Eric Swalwell come in here have happy ending, but he have frown face.

00:11:59.000 We say, why you so frown face?

00:12:01.000 We give you happy ending.

00:12:03.000 Why you not happy? 1.00

00:12:06.000 Treasonous bastard. 1.00

00:12:07.000 So! 1.00

00:12:08.000 With Gina Carano, they want you to cancel it.

00:12:10.000 And this is something, too.

00:12:12.000 Gina Carano is what an actual beautiful, brave woman looks like. 0.87

00:12:16.000 And by the way, she could be the face for when people talk about plus-size models. 1.00

00:12:20.000 Not Tess Holliday.

00:12:22.000 Not obesity that puts you at risk of COVID complications.

00:12:25.000 She's an Italian woman who was a professional fighter, who has a base of muscle, and she happens to be a little bit bigger. 1.00

00:12:31.000 She's thick, right? 0.99

00:12:31.000 With two C's? 0.99

00:12:33.000 Man, she fine.

00:12:35.000 I ain't nothing wrong with that.

00:12:35.000 She fine!

00:12:36.000 If you want to have a good time, go watch her weigh-in, where she was two pounds over and they had to cover her with towels, and so she had to strip down. 1.00

00:12:41.000 Oh no.

00:12:41.000 And you can see the guys holding the towels like this one.

00:12:45.000 Don't tempt me, Satan.

00:12:46.000 Don't tempt me.

00:12:47.000 All right, so this is what they want you to believe a beautiful, brave woman looks like.

00:12:50.000 And so because of leftist conditioning and we understand that beauty is societal conditioning. It's time to play.

00:12:55.000 Who's that beautiful brave woman? 0.97

00:12:56.000 All right now I know this will be confusing but keep in mind

00:13:06.000 I always say this that and and if you have children you give them a second to leave 0.99

00:13:10.000 The penis is a veritable truth weatherstick. It is It's true. 1.00

00:13:14.000 It does not lie.

00:13:15.000 It's not societal conditioning.

00:13:17.000 It's not an op-ed in Washington Post.

00:13:20.000 Sometimes very inconvenient.

00:13:21.000 It does not lie.

00:13:22.000 All right?

00:13:23.000 So who is the beautiful, brave woman?

00:13:27.000 Is it A, beautiful, brave woman?

00:13:31.000 Okay.

00:13:32.000 Is it B, No, you know, you gotta give Mitch McConnell points for trying. 0.98

00:13:39.000 Somebody shoot me!

00:13:43.000 They took away Gina's guns. 0.99

00:13:44.000 That's it.

00:13:45.000 Or, as the beautiful, brave woman, C. Yeah.

00:13:49.000 C, C, C. It's gotta be C. What do you guys say?

00:13:49.000 There you go.

00:13:52.000 I have to go with B. Beautiful, brave woman, who is it, guys?

00:13:59.000 C. C, of course. 0.98

00:14:00.000 Nope, you're all racist. 0.99

00:14:02.000 That's too bad. 0.99

00:14:10.000 Why do you guys hate guineas?

00:14:13.000 I'm surprised that areola lady wasn't in the lineup. 1.00

00:14:15.000 I would have thought you guys would have a common bond with Sicily and, you know, the Moors.

00:14:26.000 There's a black man hiding behind her woodshed somewhere down the 23andMe genetic line is what I'm saying. 0.71

00:14:30.000 We are all from the cradle of civilization. 0.82

00:14:33.000 Yep.

00:14:34.000 Wakanda, yeah.

00:14:34.000 Mala Harris.

00:14:38.000 Alright, so now we have, before we get to the impeachment, every single thing that they've presented in the impeachment is either verifiably false, or comes from some anonymous source, or comes from some anonymous source who was briefed on a conversation from an anonymous source.

00:14:51.000 This is journalism.

00:14:52.000 This is why Brian Stelter doesn't want us to have a show. 0.70

00:14:56.000 Also, because, generally speaking, overweight, unattractive, effeminate men shouldn't have shows. 0.92

00:15:02.000 They're worth makeup.

00:15:05.000 Brian's got a little powder on because the lights make me shiny, but it, you know, it's not stelter makeup.

00:15:05.000 They don't do too well.

00:15:09.000 Brian's got lipstick on.

00:15:11.000 Yeah, well that's because of what he was doing in the green room.

00:15:13.000 Yeah, he comes to the studio with makeup so I don't think he can use the excuse that it's just for the studio.

00:15:18.000 Those lights are big in his car.

00:15:19.000 He comes to the studio in a Buffalo Bill outfit and in the green room looks and goes, I want me.

00:15:25.000 So, Mark Cuban attempted to ban the National Anthem, and the NBA said they weren't going to play it before.

00:15:32.000 And I want to read the quote after, but first we're going to go to a little explanation here.

00:15:36.000 So there's been a few things that have happened.

00:15:37.000 Mark Cuban said, we're not going to play the National Anthem.

00:15:39.000 They didn't play the National Anthem.

00:15:40.000 People said, that's kind of weird.

00:15:41.000 What happened?

00:15:42.000 Am I in Communist China?

00:15:44.000 Oh, that's just where you want to market the jerseys. 0.99

00:15:46.000 So, people noticed it was weird, and then the NBA responded by saying, no, we're going to play the National Anthem, and Mark Cuban, you know, took it on the chin like a bitch. 0.98

00:15:54.000 So, then Jen Psaki was asked about it at a press conference from Joe Biden and answered with words spaghetti. 0.92

00:16:04.000 What does President Biden think about the Dallas Mavericks owner Mark Cuban deciding to indefinitely stop playing the National Anthem?

00:16:11.000 Well, I haven't spoken with the President about the decision by Mark Cuban on the Dallas Mavericks, or I should say the National Anthem.

00:16:19.000 But I know he's incredibly proud to be an American and has great respect for the anthem and all that it represents, especially for our men and women serving in uniform around the world.

00:16:28.000 He'd also say that, of course, that part of pride in our country means recognizing moments where we as a country haven't lived up to our highest ideals, which is often and at times what people are speaking to.

00:16:42.000 when they take action at sporting events.

00:16:44.000 And it means respecting the right of people, granted to them in the Constitution,

00:16:47.000 to peacefully protest.

00:16:49.000 That's why he ran for president in the first place.

00:16:52.000 And that's what he's focused on doing every day. 0.91

00:16:55.000 We need to deport all gingers. 1.00

00:16:57.000 It really would solve the problem, I think. 0.96

00:17:00.000 It's rough.

00:17:01.000 You can't have soulless breeding pools.

00:17:03.000 So, joking!

00:17:06.000 Here's the thing there.

00:17:07.000 That made no sense.

00:17:08.000 Just say we support the National Anthem and they should play it.

00:17:11.000 You're the President of the United States.

00:17:11.000 Just stop.

00:17:12.000 This wouldn't have been a controversial issue for anyone.

00:17:15.000 No.

00:17:16.000 This was an easy win for him.

00:17:17.000 Even JFK would have been like, what?

00:17:18.000 Why are all those colleagues complaining about the flag?

00:17:23.000 We gave them the vote, why don't they go out there and dribble the ball? 0.84

00:17:26.000 Well look, the NBA has a policy of playing the National Anthem, and they've done it across the league, right?

00:17:31.000 You're supposed to stand for it, you're not supposed to protest for it, and Adam Silver hasn't enforced that rule, right?

00:17:36.000 So that was the leeway that he gave.

00:17:38.000 And then Mark Cuban comes out and said, no, we didn't ban the National Anthem, it's a part of an ongoing conversation.

00:17:42.000 And I'm like, I don't know, have you played it yet this year?

00:17:44.000 No?

00:17:45.000 Okay, that's banning the national anthem, that's taking it away.

00:17:45.000 No.

00:17:47.000 Right.

00:17:48.000 What reason do you have for that?

00:17:49.000 Here's the reason, and this is what really, he says, we loudly, this was the, from Mark Cuban, the Dallas Mavericks, we also loudly hear the voices of those who feel that the anthem does not represent them.

00:17:58.000 We feel that their voices need to be respected and heard because they have not been.

00:18:01.000 Okay, listen!

00:18:03.000 You guys said for a long time, the kneeling, right?

00:18:05.000 They said, well, listen, it's not that I'm not proud to be American.

00:18:07.000 It's that I want America to live up to our ideals.

00:18:09.000 And I'm a proud American, but I'm not proud of some of our history.

00:18:12.000 Now you're saying that the national anthem doesn't represent you.

00:18:16.000 It never had anything to do with changing policy.

00:18:16.000 This is the thing.

00:18:19.000 It is about anti-American communists in our midst.

00:18:22.000 And when I say that, people say, well, isn't Mark Cuban a billionaire?

00:18:23.000 He's a billionaire, but he wants to get into the Chinese market right now.

00:18:26.000 That's why he wouldn't speak out against the horrible human rights abuses.

00:18:30.000 I think it's overused where people say, if you don't like America, get the hell out, right?

00:18:34.000 And there are plenty of things you don't necessarily have to like America.

00:18:36.000 Correct.

00:18:36.000 For example, Jen Psaki.

00:18:38.000 Gingers.

00:18:39.000 But if you say, I don't feel that the National Anthem, I don't feel our National Anthem represents me, so I don't want to hear it at the game, you should probably find a country, I think in this case it's perfectly appropriate, to suggest you find a country that has a National Anthem you will support and go play there.

00:18:56.000 Good luck.

00:18:57.000 Yes.

00:18:58.000 I love this.

00:18:59.000 Texas wasted no time, by the way.

00:19:00.000 The governor came out, and I think the lieutenant governor came out, and they actually are putting forward legislation saying, look, if you're getting state funding and it's a major sporting event, you are playing the national anthem.

00:19:10.000 It's going to be made into a law, potentially.

00:19:12.000 And the Dallas Stars tweeted out right after that, like, we're playing the national anthem before every single one of our games.

00:19:19.000 Come watch us.

00:19:20.000 Half the players in the NHL are Russian.

00:19:21.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:19:22.000 They're like, ah, it's nice and simple.

00:19:23.000 Why do you Americans hate your homeland?

00:19:25.000 I respect my homeland and we don't even have lowest jeans.

00:19:31.000 I have to fight barefoot toilet paper and still if I hear national anthem while I'm

00:19:35.000 on toilet seat, I piss all over the floor.

00:19:38.000 I have to stand up. 0.78

00:19:41.000 What is wrong with you? 1.00

00:19:43.000 They don't give a rat's ass. 0.99

00:19:44.000 You guys write Black Americans, and you weren't conservative so much until I kind of brought you out of the closet. 0.99

00:19:49.000 I apologize for that, but you guys are doing well.

00:19:52.000 It's working out for you.

00:19:53.000 Even when you were not conservatives, would you have related to Black people who said, National Anthem?

00:19:58.000 I don't feel like it represents me.

00:20:00.000 No, never felt that way.

00:20:01.000 I don't feel like most Black Americans feel that way.

00:20:03.000 Every Black American I talk with, they go, America's flawed, you know, has its mistakes, but it's the greatest country in the world.

00:20:07.000 Yeah, but there's a subset culture within the black community that gets all the TV time. 0.99

00:20:12.000 Yeah.

00:20:12.000 Yeah, like Hollywood.

00:20:13.000 Majority of black people don't feel that way.

00:20:13.000 Yeah.

00:20:15.000 No.

00:20:15.000 But a majority of black people feel delirious speaking out.

00:20:18.000 Right. 0.97

00:20:19.000 For retaliation as well.

00:20:20.000 Yeah.

00:20:21.000 It really is one of those... And how does that help black Americans by just shutting... What you do is you create a wider divide, which is of course what they did prior to the impeachment, and then they want to blame people for reacting to this wider divide.

00:20:30.000 America is flawed, but certainly not as flawed as China. 0.83

00:20:34.000 Disney...

00:20:35.000 Dallas Mavericks.

00:20:37.000 NBA.

00:20:38.000 Are you listening?

00:20:38.000 Ted Lieu.

00:20:39.000 He's Chinese, right?

00:20:41.000 They are flawed. 0.95

00:20:42.000 It's not America. 0.65

00:20:43.000 Unless you think we're giving the NBA too hard of a time, they pulled people out of games that held signs up that said, Free Hong Kong.

00:20:50.000 That was as bad as it got and they actually kicked them out.

00:20:53.000 Right, right.

00:20:53.000 So it's not just like they're whoring for their money on the jersey sales.

00:20:56.000 They're actively silencing free speech on American soil.

00:21:00.000 Could you imagine if the Trump administration were treating black Americans the way the Hong Kong protesters are being treated?

00:21:07.000 Rightfully, they would be passed! 0.74

00:21:08.000 They would absolutely be pissed.

00:21:10.000 And I want to take Mark Cuban's argument to the next step real quick.

00:21:13.000 What is he insinuating is going to happen if people's voices aren't heard?

00:21:16.000 Do you think it's going to frustrate them and maybe think, oh my gosh, our voices aren't being heard so we have to go to the streets?

00:21:21.000 Like they did during the summer.

00:21:22.000 And I'm not saying rioting is okay.

00:21:24.000 Protesting, fine.

00:21:24.000 Rioting, bad.

00:21:25.000 Right?

00:21:25.000 Just so we're all on the same page.

00:21:26.000 Right.

00:21:27.000 But that's what you're implying.

00:21:28.000 I don't know.

00:21:29.000 Is there a similar situation right now that unfolded?

00:21:31.000 Well, it starts with the National Anthem guys and then we're a nation of just Gina Carano's running around.

00:21:37.000 Beep boop boppin' all over the place! 1.00

00:21:40.000 Lookin' hot!

00:21:42.000 What are we, animals?

00:21:45.000 So.

00:21:49.000 It's a joke.

00:21:49.000 I'm a married man.

00:21:51.000 Apple.

00:21:52.000 I mean to be on the show.

00:21:52.000 We would love to have Gina Carino on the show.

00:22:21.000 We have a quick breaking news update for Billy.

00:22:23.000 What's happening?

00:22:24.000 Project Veritas has been suspended from Twitter.

00:22:28.000 Really?

00:22:29.000 Permanently?

00:22:31.000 I don't know if permanently, but Twitter has locked down the accounts of James O'Keefe and Project Veritas for reporting on Facebook of VP Guy Rosen and his statements that Facebook freezes comments in places that algorithms think there may be hate speech.

00:22:43.000 Oh.

00:22:44.000 There may be.

00:22:44.000 That's not scary at all.

00:22:46.000 No.

00:22:47.000 That the world's third big... I don't know what Twitter is.

00:22:49.000 Probably not.

00:22:49.000 But that the world's fourth or fifth biggest company is carrying the water for the world's second biggest company.

00:22:55.000 Don't quote me on the numbers.

00:22:55.000 I don't know they jockey for position whether it's Alphabet, Google, and Amazon, and Apple.

00:22:59.000 The point is, they're all in this... At what point do you say they're in cahoots?

00:23:03.000 Twitter bans a journalist for reporting on Facebook?

00:23:09.000 That'd be like Coke shooting you in the street for reporting on Pepsi.

00:23:13.000 I'm surprised it didn't do it sooner.

00:23:15.000 You know, I'm surprised.

00:23:16.000 I will say this.

00:23:16.000 I hope that James O'Keefe, of course, he usually does follow single-party consent laws.

00:23:20.000 When we were kids, this is what's so scary.

00:23:21.000 When we were growing up, there was something called investigative journalism.

00:23:24.000 Yeah.

00:23:25.000 And it was expected that if people were doing something untoward, or if people were committing a crime, and they were caught on camera, that the public deserved to know about it.

00:23:31.000 Now, you deserve to know nothing.

00:23:33.000 Right.

00:23:34.000 By the way, these are the same people, and I'm not saying you come down on either side of this, but let's say Edward Snowden should be fried, right?

00:23:40.000 These same people are saying, oh, free him and make sure Assange is pardoned and everything else, but by God, we cannot have Project Veritas going into an abortion clinic and actually recording what they say.

00:23:49.000 And why would, why would, why do they support Assange being free?

00:23:52.000 Oh, that's right.

00:23:52.000 That's right.

00:23:53.000 Chicks with penises. 1.00

00:23:57.000 Makes it really easy to line up teams. 1.00

00:23:59.000 I'm sorry, ma'am. 1.00

00:23:59.000 Do you have a penis? 1.00

00:24:00.000 Okay, I'll just stand over here. 1.00

00:24:01.000 That's because I don't want to be accused of hate speech.

00:24:07.000 Hey, my Chinese brethren, right?

00:24:08.000 I'm not a threat to you commies. 0.87

00:24:09.000 Okay, let's go to the Trump-Sham impeachment here. 0.53

00:24:15.000 We followed the whole first day.

00:24:16.000 Yeah.

00:24:16.000 Thank God we don't have to follow the rest of it.

00:24:18.000 I know.

00:24:18.000 And I think that there are fewer and fewer Republicans now who are going to vote for it because the arguments have been paper-thin, but you may not know.

00:24:24.000 And you tell me, this is the question of the day, why do you think that this impeachment is going on?

00:24:28.000 I was making the case that I think it's to make an example of Donald Trump so that anyone outside the beltway doesn't run.

00:24:33.000 It's to intimidate you.

00:24:35.000 It's not just to make sure he doesn't run again.

00:24:37.000 It's to intimidate all of you into not even considering representing your constituency.

00:24:42.000 Because we don't want a government for the people by the people anymore.

00:24:43.000 We want people who have been in the government for 52 years and have to be held up by wires and string.

00:24:49.000 It's entertainment, you know.

00:24:51.000 You tell me why you think this impeachment is going on.

00:24:52.000 There's really no justification at this point, but let's go to a couple of clips that people may not know. 0.89

00:24:56.000 Jamie Raskin, everyone's favorite prick and cheat. 0.52

00:25:00.000 I don't know. 0.62

00:25:01.000 The point is, I'm not a fan.

00:25:03.000 So he opened his argument assuring the jurors that his case would be based, remember this, based on cold, hard facts.

00:25:11.000 Facts!

00:25:11.000 Cold hard facts!

00:25:12.000 You will not be hearing extended lectures from me because our case is based on cold hard facts.

00:25:23.000 It's all about the facts.

00:25:27.000 Cold.

00:25:28.000 Hard.

00:25:29.000 Throbbing.

00:25:32.000 Pulsating.

00:25:32.000 Facts.

00:25:36.000 You said jurors, Stephen.

00:25:37.000 I'm sorry.

00:25:37.000 That was kind of funny to me.

00:25:38.000 I feel like these are impartial.

00:25:38.000 By the way, in the same open argument, I don't know if he presented a clearly selectively edited video.

00:25:44.000 This isn't the worst.

00:25:45.000 This is just to lead in.

00:25:45.000 He did a lot of stuff that he had to fix later on.

00:25:48.000 Clearly selectively edited video to prove that Trump's speech incited violence.

00:25:52.000 Here it is.

00:25:53.000 We're gonna walk down, and I'll be there with you.

00:25:56.000 We're gonna walk down.

00:25:59.000 We're gonna walk down to the Capitol.

00:26:01.000 Can't vote on fraud.

00:26:03.000 And fraud breaks up everything, doesn't it?

00:26:05.000 When you catch somebody in a fraud, you're allowed to go by very different rules.

00:26:12.000 So I hope Mike has the courage to do what he has to do.

00:26:19.000 I mean, it's like, first off, it was made on Windows Movie Maker.

00:26:21.000 Yeah, it was really bad cuts.

00:26:23.000 It's insulting.

00:26:25.000 And the worst you got is, we will walk down to the Capitol?

00:26:28.000 Yeah, I don't even know what they were trying to do there.

00:26:29.000 What are you trying to do?

00:26:30.000 So the impeachment manager, so cold hard.

00:26:32.000 Cold.

00:26:33.000 Cold hard.

00:26:34.000 Vascular.

00:26:35.000 Facts.

00:26:37.000 Standing at attention.

00:26:39.000 Pulsating.

00:26:40.000 Facts.

00:26:42.000 Impeachment manager David Cicilline, I hope I'm getting that right, he presented evidence of a phone call, cold hard facts, between Trump and Alabama Senator Tommy Tuberville.

00:26:50.000 Also, interestingly enough, Brian Stelter's nickname in high school.

00:26:54.000 Hey Tuberville, stop it! 0.85

00:26:56.000 Stop it! 0.99

00:26:59.000 I'm not Tuberville!

00:27:00.000 Nuisance money!

00:27:02.000 Tommy Tuberville, and they were alleging that Trump pressured Tuberville to make additional objections to electoral votes, and then they said that Mike Lee was a witness to the phone call.

00:27:13.000 They presented this, by the way, keep in mind, as evidence if this happens in an actual criminal court, which is a theme we're gonna continue with here, you actually have a problem.

00:27:21.000 The phone rang.

00:27:23.000 It was Donald Trump.

00:27:25.000 And how Senator Lee explains it is that the phone call goes something like this.

00:27:28.000 Hey, Tommy?

00:27:30.000 Trump asks.

00:27:31.000 And Senator Lee says, this isn't Tommy.

00:27:34.000 And he hands the phone to Senator Tuberville.

00:27:38.000 Senator Lee then confirmed that he stood by as Senator Tuberville and President Trump spoke on the phone.

00:27:45.000 And on that call, Donald Trump reportedly asked Senator Tuberville to make additional objections to the certification process.

00:27:54.000 Okay, so this is why they use a lot of anonymous sources, because when they say something that can be fact-checked right away, Mike Lee, like, stopped clipping his nails.

00:28:03.000 That didn't happen.

00:28:05.000 That never happened.

00:28:06.000 He says, like this. 1.00

00:28:07.000 Yeah, he goes, uh, that's bullshit. 0.96

00:28:11.000 And this is the problem with Twitter, by the way, who also bans James O'Keefe, as we just saw, which is the majority of the sources are Twitter or Washington Post op-eds. 0.97

00:28:18.000 Go to ladderworthcreditor.com.

00:28:19.000 We have the whole briefing there.

00:28:21.000 You can check the sources.

00:28:22.000 It will make your head spin like you just ate pea soup and there's an exorcism being performed.

00:28:27.000 It is unbelievable how paper-thin and how illegitimate these sources are being used. So this they

00:28:33.000 said, okay, Mike Lee said that, Mike Lee said I didn't say that. Twitter was fact checking

00:28:37.000 saying, uh, actually Mike Lee did. No, as a matter of fact, he didn't. How do you know that he

00:28:40.000 didn't? Uh, Raskin, cold, hard, throbbing vascular facts had to retract this piece of

00:28:45.000 evidence that was initially submitted.

00:28:48.000 The impeachment manager, Mr. Cicilline correctly and accurately quoted a newspaper account,

00:28:55.000 um, which the distinguished Senator has taken objection to.

00:28:58.000 So we're happy to withdraw it.

00:29:00.000 It's not true on the grounds that it's not true.

00:29:08.000 It's not true at all.

00:29:10.000 He's trying to avoid it, like, uh, we're gonna rescind it.

00:29:12.000 We're just gonna have to take it out.

00:29:13.000 It's like, uh, because it's not true, we're gonna have to take it out for reasons. 1.00

00:29:15.000 Because you're full of shit! 1.00

00:29:18.000 Hey guys! 1.00

00:29:19.000 Hey constituents! 1.00

00:29:20.000 He's full of shit! 1.00

00:29:23.000 We have to retract it because I'm full of shit. 1.00

00:29:25.000 Yes. 0.99

00:29:27.000 Somebody tried to smooth it over.

00:29:28.000 He accurately quoted a newspaper report, and I'm like, well, that should tell you everything you need to know about the newspaper, sir.

00:29:35.000 Just when he said, uh, it's not true, he's like... Do they show people again?

00:29:42.000 What did he do?

00:29:43.000 He says, not true!

00:29:45.000 Ha ha ha!

00:29:47.000 Ha ha ha!

00:29:49.000 So now let's move on to everyone's favorite banger of Chinese spies. 0.97

00:29:54.000 Ugh. 0.85

00:29:55.000 Oh yeah. 0.98

00:29:56.000 I wish I loved anything as much as Eric Swalwell loves betraying his country by banging Chinese spies. 0.97

00:30:03.000 It's a passion.

00:30:04.000 So he came forward to... I don't even know why this guy is in office.

00:30:07.000 I don't either.

00:30:08.000 Talk about impeachable.

00:30:09.000 Why is he even a target of Chinese spies?

00:30:11.000 You're getting nothing from this.

00:30:12.000 I don't even think there needs to be an impeachment trial for Eric Swalwell.

00:30:16.000 Just someone walks forward and goes like, uh, yeah, you know what? 0.98

00:30:18.000 We think you shouldn't be here because, um, he had sex with Chinese spies. 0.99

00:30:20.000 I rest my case. 0.99

00:30:21.000 All right.

00:30:22.000 Guilty.

00:30:22.000 Bye.

00:30:23.000 Let's get herpes lip out of here. 1.00

00:30:28.000 That's not herpes.

00:30:28.000 That's from Gua Sha.

00:30:29.000 It's facial Chinese treatment. 0.94

00:30:31.000 But he has the herpes from all the sex, too. 0.96

00:30:33.000 Oh, yeah.

00:30:35.000 It's both.

00:30:35.000 His picture on the wall, I have his signature.

00:30:38.000 You sound like a half-black, half-Asian female. 0.59

00:30:41.000 Well, that's just because I'm racist.

00:30:44.000 No, he's not.

00:30:44.000 You're doing both of them.

00:30:48.000 I don't know what I'm doing.

00:30:49.000 Up is down, down is up when Eric Swalwell still holds office.

00:30:53.000 And this is him presenting his evidence.

00:30:54.000 He cited a tweet from a Twitter user, Jennifer Lynn Lawrence, to prove that Trump's base was rebelling and committing an insurrection in his name.

00:31:02.000 The Banger of Chinese Spice here, he's talking.

00:31:03.000 It has been an honor to stand up and fight for you and our nation.

00:31:06.000 We will be standing strong on January 6th in D.C.

00:31:09.000 with you.

00:31:10.000 We are bringing the cavalry, Mr. President.

00:31:16.000 We are bringing the cavalry.

00:31:19.000 That was the consistent message.

00:31:20.000 That's what he used to say at the massage parlor.

00:31:22.000 He'd always come in, he'd tell us, he'd bring in the cavalry! 1.00

00:31:26.000 It's just his dick, every time! 1.00

00:31:29.000 So did they write it on the horse? 1.00

00:31:30.000 So here's the thing, do you see that image?

00:31:32.000 It had Donald Trump with the Twitter, and then, uh, that was a fake doctored checkmark.

00:31:36.000 What?

00:31:36.000 Of Jennifer Lynn.

00:31:37.000 Yeah.

00:31:38.000 She's never been, she actually came out and she said she's never been Twitter verified.

00:31:42.000 So the reason they added that was because, again, all of their sources are illegitimate.

00:31:46.000 Not all, but most of their sources are illegitimate.

00:31:47.000 I don't want to speak in absolutism like they do, but there are no repercussions for them.

00:31:50.000 There are for me, even though I'm a comedy host.

00:31:52.000 That checkmark, in order to try and provide gravitas, like, look, it's from a verified Twitter follower!

00:31:58.000 And she says, no, I've never been verified.

00:32:01.000 So that is doctoring evidence, and this is the problem with an impeachment of a private citizen.

00:32:07.000 You don't have Justice Roberts, you have Patrick Leahy, who we've talked about this.

00:32:11.000 He is a witness, a juror, and a judge in this case.

00:32:14.000 In a criminal trial, which is why they didn't want to bring criminal charges, guess what?

00:32:19.000 You doctor evidence, you're going to have some problems.

00:32:21.000 You're going to be held accountable.

00:32:23.000 That is a doctored picture confirmed by the woman whose account was doctored herself.

00:32:28.000 I think they should be bringing this kind of stuff up too, right?

00:32:31.000 I don't know if the guys who are representing Trump are going to bring that kind of stuff up, but going back to what he said, he's saying, look, literally they're going to bring the cavalry, right?

00:32:38.000 That sounds like militaristic.

00:32:39.000 Did they ride in on horses?

00:32:41.000 Did the cavalry actually show up?

00:32:44.000 Did they come in modern day cavalry?

00:32:46.000 What is that?

00:32:46.000 Tanks and stuff?

00:32:47.000 Like pretending we don't have sayings?

00:32:49.000 No!

00:32:49.000 Yeah, exactly!

00:32:50.000 Metaphor!

00:32:51.000 We're going to be there to support you and make our voices heard peacefully and patriotically.

00:32:57.000 That's bringing the cavalry, guys.

00:33:00.000 Sorry! 1.00

00:33:00.000 I had someone try to do that to me once who will remain nameless of the big tech companies where in one of the videos I said, fill your hands you son of a bitch. 1.00

00:33:06.000 It's a line from True Grit. 0.99

00:33:07.000 And they're like, well we took that as a threat of violence. 1.00

00:33:12.000 What, you think I was going to throw you in a snake pit under the moonlight, you idiot? 1.00

00:33:18.000 This is the thing. 1.00

00:33:18.000 There's a double standard here, but the standard that really matters is not just what people say. 1.00

00:33:23.000 Listen, I don't care if someone else uses some kind of analogy, uses some kind of colloquialism.

00:33:26.000 I'm fine with that.

00:33:28.000 My problem is when they present evidence that is clearly doctored and facts that they have to rescind.

00:33:33.000 They can't even say because it's untrue, it burns coming out of my mouth. 1.00

00:33:36.000 It should burn coming out of your mouth because you're a liar. 1.00

00:33:40.000 Also, with Eric Swalwell, of course, he bangs Chinese spies. 1.00

00:33:42.000 I'm also not a fan of his farting habit.

00:33:45.000 That the president used taxpayer dollars to ask the Ukrainians to help him cheat in an election. 0.90

00:33:51.000 You get out now! 0.98

00:33:53.000 All my girls complain you can't go fart in your massage room! 1.00

00:33:57.000 That is crazy.

00:33:58.000 That's not doctored at all?

00:33:59.000 No, it's not.

00:34:00.000 You gotta be talking.

00:34:01.000 You can feel that.

00:34:04.000 Did you hear him pause?

00:34:05.000 He did this like...

00:34:07.000 Yeah.

00:34:08.000 He raised up.

00:34:08.000 Yeah.

00:34:09.000 It actually blew up in the air a little bit.

00:34:12.000 That's powerful.

00:34:13.000 He treated it like he was doing a CrossFit workout.

00:34:15.000 He was betraying the rules.

00:34:19.000 Gotta lighten up before I go on down to Minda Massage Parlor.

00:34:25.000 And these are the people who are impeaching the former president.

00:34:27.000 I get it.

00:34:28.000 The problem with Donald Trump is that he speaks so much, he shoots from the hip, and so they have all this stuff on him.

00:34:32.000 The problem is they don't speak that often, but when they do, it's hysterically bad and untrue.

00:34:39.000 But none of this is evidence against him.

00:34:41.000 They're playing things that make him look mean.

00:34:43.000 At the very worst, he just looks mean-spirited.

00:34:46.000 I don't even think it looks... No, not... What's really severe is they're lying about almost everything.

00:34:51.000 Let me continue on here to...

00:34:55.000 Ted Lieu!

00:34:56.000 Oh boy.

00:34:57.000 By the way, I have a whole bunch of gripes with Ted Lieu.

00:34:59.000 Just look at his Twitter.

00:35:00.000 Okay?

00:35:01.000 Just look at his Twitter.

00:35:02.000 I rest my case.

00:35:03.000 Yeah, it's horrible.

00:35:04.000 Oh my gosh, this guy is so annoying.

00:35:06.000 God. 1.00

00:35:07.000 So, he said, Ted Lieu said that Trump told Mike Pence he would go down, forgive my language, Ted Lieu's just, he's a Bulgarian, he said that Donald Trump told Pence he'd go down in history as a pussy, okay? 0.99

00:35:20.000 This is what Ted Lieu presented, I think you have the overlay right there, overlay C, Tocanowan, good, alright. 0.98

00:35:26.000 Here's a tweet.

00:35:27.000 The quote was taken from a Washington Post article that sourced it from, and I quote, two people briefed on the conversation.

00:35:35.000 It wasn't the two people who had the conversation.

00:35:38.000 It wasn't even two people who were in the room when they had the conversation.

00:35:43.000 It was two people who were briefed on a conversation, which means they probably read one of Ted Lieu's tweets and considered it a briefing.

00:35:52.000 I feel briefed.

00:35:53.000 Think about this.

00:35:54.000 He presents this and he gets released. 1.00

00:35:56.000 I called him a pussy. 1.00

00:35:58.000 From a Washington Post, which of course we know is a liberal rag. 1.00

00:36:01.000 A source briefed on the conversation.

00:36:06.000 This wouldn't be allowed in any court of law.

00:36:08.000 It's called hearsay, right?

00:36:10.000 Objection, that's hearsay.

00:36:12.000 Objection, that's hearsay and I don't like you.

00:36:15.000 And it's not true!

00:36:16.000 It's not true.

00:36:19.000 I actually don't have any problems at all with the word nationalism.

00:36:21.000 and they're like, well, everyone makes mistakes.

00:36:22.000 No, I think there are ulterior motives for Ted Lieu, because let me present, this is the same guy

00:36:25.000 who, by the way, accused Candace Owens of encouraging and inciting white nationalism and Hitler. 1.00

00:36:32.000 I actually don't have any problems at all with the word nationalism.

00:36:35.000 I think that it gets, the definition gets poisoned.

00:36:39.000 Ms.

00:36:39.000 Owen said, quote, if Hitler just wanted to make Germany great and have things run well, okay, fine.

00:36:45.000 The problem is that he wanted, he had dreams outside of Germany.

00:36:49.000 So when people try to legitimize Adolf Hitler, does that feed into white nationalist ideology?

00:36:54.000 What I responded to was that I do not believe that we should be characterizing Hitler as a nationalist. 0.98

00:37:00.000 He was a homicidal, psychopathic maniac that killed his own people. 0.98

00:37:04.000 A nationalist would not kill their own people. 0.98

00:37:07.000 That is exactly what I was referring to in the clip and he purposely wanted to give you a cut-up similar to what they do to Donald Trump to create a different narrative.

00:37:14.000 That was unbelievably dishonest.

00:37:16.000 Ted Luke can never look at a strap-on again!

00:37:19.000 And by the way, after that, Eric Swalwell put him in a wig and invited him to the massage parlor.

00:37:24.000 Don't look at me, don't look at me!

00:37:25.000 Look, I don't think it was prudent for Candace Owens to... Generally speaking, if you bring up Hitler as a comparison or example, use it in the back column.

00:37:33.000 He was clearly misleading people on what she said.

00:37:36.000 I don't even know if he knew.

00:37:38.000 Maybe he's actually colorblind and he has no idea who's sitting in front of him.

00:37:42.000 I'm offended I'm colorblind and I don't want to be associated with Ted Lieu. 0.98

00:37:46.000 You're heavily racist. 1.00

00:37:48.000 The guy is pretty damn stupid. 1.00

00:37:50.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:37:50.000 Here's another one, by the way, we're talking about inciting violence. 1.00

00:37:53.000 What about Ted Lieu where he said that there would be riots if Trump fired Mueller?

00:37:57.000 If the president does go ahead and fire Robert Mueller, we would have people take to the streets.

00:38:03.000 I believe there would be widespread civil unrest.

00:38:05.000 We would?

00:38:06.000 You'd have people riot?

00:38:07.000 No, no, no, no, no!

00:38:10.000 I don't think that he was bringing rioters with him.

00:38:13.000 I don't think he was bringing cavalry.

00:38:16.000 They already had it pre-planned.

00:38:17.000 It was pre-planned.

00:38:18.000 It was pre-planned.

00:38:18.000 But my point is, what about this stand?

00:38:20.000 We will have rioting in the streets.

00:38:21.000 Put that in writing.

00:38:22.000 We will have rioting.

00:38:23.000 Did you not say we will have rioting in the streets?

00:38:26.000 I was talking about a friend, his last name Wee!

00:38:28.000 No, we just meant protesting.

00:38:30.000 Protesting's never gone bad in these communities around the country that feel like their voice isn't being heard because we said their voice isn't being heard.

00:38:37.000 I was talking about Midget, Notorious Midget Triad Leader! 1.00

00:38:40.000 Yang Wee! 0.99

00:38:42.000 He's cute!

00:38:44.000 He's cute!

00:38:46.000 Sometimes put a wig on him, ship him to Eric Swalwell in a box.

00:38:49.000 Just put him in a bottom drawer.

00:38:50.000 He's sleeping for days.

00:38:51.000 He's never gonna live that down. 1.00

00:38:52.000 I like to massage parties, they dick too big! 0.99

00:38:56.000 These are words that Eric Swalwell has never heard. 1.00

00:39:00.000 I don't know everything else.

00:39:02.000 These are words that Eric Swalwell has never heard.

00:39:04.000 They say it to me!

00:39:05.000 They say it to me!

00:39:06.000 They say, oh, you too big.

00:39:07.000 I say, I know it's a problem.

00:39:08.000 Oh, come on. 0.87

00:39:09.000 They say, you get too big.

00:39:10.000 I say, tell me something I don't know.

00:39:16.000 I don't know everything else.

00:39:18.000 Yeah, fair point.

00:39:20.000 Even CNN had to call him at once.

00:39:22.000 When CNN calls you out, it must be really bad.

00:39:25.000 They called him out when he live-tweeted insults during the Jeff Sessions congressional testimony.

00:39:31.000 We have it right here.

00:39:32.000 I am choosing words that the President of the United States uses on his own Twitter.

00:39:36.000 I'm storing those words right back in the administration.

00:39:39.000 Okay, but does that make it right?

00:39:40.000 I mean, do you like seeing the President use words like that?

00:39:42.000 Like, lying Ted, so then you repeat them?

00:39:45.000 Watch this.

00:39:45.000 Is that a grown-up thing to do?

00:39:46.000 Watch this. 0.97

00:39:47.000 I'm going to keep doing it because I do want to highlight how ridiculous it is. 0.97

00:39:49.000 Absolutely. 0.95

00:39:50.000 Is it a grown up thing to do?

00:39:52.000 When they go low, we go high.

00:39:55.000 My view is when they go low, we fight back and I'm going to fight back.

00:40:00.000 When they go low, we stay low?

00:40:03.000 I'm always low!

00:40:05.000 I'm 5'2"!

00:40:06.000 I'm always low! 0.98

00:40:08.000 Well, your mom and I are gonna ground you. 0.99

00:40:10.000 Is that a grown-up thing to do?

00:40:11.000 I don't know!

00:40:12.000 I shop at Jamboree!

00:40:13.000 Yeah, by the way, when you get called up, not just CNN, but the CNN B-Team morning crew that I have to watch before this show... Is that an adult thing to do?

00:40:21.000 I don't know.

00:40:23.000 I haven't been an adult for years.

00:40:25.000 It'd be great if the media did this to all politicians.

00:40:28.000 This country's in a much better position right now.

00:40:31.000 They have a quota where they hit it once a month.

00:40:33.000 They go, alright, we checked a liberal, so we're good.

00:40:36.000 Now we're unbiased.

00:40:38.000 By the way, what kind of logic is that?

00:40:39.000 He did it so I can do it?

00:40:41.000 Have we not gotten out of the 5th grade mentality?

00:40:44.000 Seriously?

00:40:46.000 When Donald Trump does it, it's violence.

00:40:50.000 Inciting violence.

00:40:51.000 We will riot, but when Donald Trump says, fight like hell, it's violence.

00:40:55.000 Hit the notification bell if you're watching right now and you're subscribed, because subscriptions don't necessarily mean a whole lot, and we broadcast Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m.

00:41:02.000 Eastern.

00:41:02.000 Just check in.

00:41:03.000 That's the best way to do it.

00:41:04.000 Here's another one we have.

00:41:05.000 Is it Stacey Plaskett?

00:41:06.000 How do we pronounce her name?

00:41:07.000 It's one of those things I've only read.

00:41:08.000 Plaskett?

00:41:09.000 So again, I'm going through all this here, why you should know that all of these things are verifiably false, okay?

00:41:16.000 You can check the sources at ladderworthcrowder.com.

00:41:18.000 Stacey Plaskett?

00:41:19.000 I think it's Plaskett?

00:41:20.000 Something like that.

00:41:20.000 It's close enough.

00:41:21.000 So, grizzly bears outside Plaskett's candy store.

00:41:22.000 Sounds good to me.

00:41:23.000 Plaskett claimed, this is what she was claiming and this is what they're building as a narrative, that Donald Trump knew about the storming and she said that that is according to an article about an ex-White House insider.

00:41:35.000 An ex-White House and campaign insider, as you'll read, who has known both Scavino and

00:41:40.000 the president for years, said there was no way that Scavino and the Trump social media

00:41:45.000 operation would not have been aware of the plan circulating online to storm the Capitol.

00:41:52.000 Because and I quote, the Trump operation closely monitored the web's darkest corners, ranging

00:41:59.000 from mainstream sites such as Twitter, Facebook, and Reddit, to fringe message boards like

00:42:06.000 4chan and Xchan, now called X-kun, to the Donald.win, an offshoot of a banned Reddit

00:42:15.000 community dedicated to rapidly supporting all things Trump.

00:42:20.000 Now, if you don't know what you're watching, she goes, and I quote.

00:42:25.000 That must be official.

00:42:26.000 Who's she quoting the article was entirely based on anonymous sources.

00:42:32.000 By the way, we just said the word of the day!

00:42:34.000 Comment!

00:42:34.000 Anonymous Sources!

00:42:36.000 It's all about you!

00:42:38.000 Yeah!

00:42:40.000 Ah!

00:42:42.000 I appreciate it.

00:42:44.000 I appreciate it.

00:42:45.000 That's the best thing you can do for the YouTube algorithm right now.

00:42:47.000 Just comment below.

00:42:48.000 If you don't even have a question, you don't want to talk to people, just comment.

00:42:50.000 Anonymous sources.

00:42:51.000 That's the word of the day because everything here is an anonymous sources or non-existent source.

00:42:56.000 By the way, this person, this anonymous source, if that was not bad enough, you know what they just said?

00:43:01.000 They must have known.

00:43:03.000 Right?

00:43:04.000 I have no evidence of them actually knowing.

00:43:06.000 I didn't see them looking at this and go, yep, they saw it, they talked about it.

00:43:10.000 I wasn't briefed on anything that actually happened, but they must know.

00:43:13.000 They must have known because of an anonymous article in Washington Post, which I quote, How can you even print something like that?

00:43:21.000 How can you much less go back and refer to it and go, well yeah, that sounds about right.

00:43:25.000 How could you even print it in the first place?

00:43:26.000 And these are the people who want to silence all of our shows.

00:43:28.000 Keep in mind, Washington Post, Jeff Bezos, CNN, Brian Telter, they're saying you need

00:43:33.000 to get rid of the spread of misinformation and fake news.

00:43:35.000 Really?

00:43:36.000 This is fake?

00:43:37.000 Is this fake news?

00:43:38.000 You presented these at the impeachment, fake Twitter verifications, documents from people

00:43:41.000 who were briefed on conversations when they weren't even there, and other documents sourced

00:43:46.000 from anonymous sources and you can't even pronounce it correctly.

00:43:51.000 X-kun.

00:43:52.000 Oh, God.

00:43:53.000 Give Al Sharpton a run for his money.

00:43:56.000 I was going by Roman numerals.

00:43:57.000 You're still wrong!

00:43:58.000 All by three!

00:44:03.000 But to be fair, to your point, I need to include all of her contacts, because she went on to cite a Donald.Win post with 12 comments as an example of the underground scheme.

00:44:15.000 Is there a Clip Eye? 0.80

00:44:16.000 I think Clip Eye, right?

00:44:17.000 Yeah, Clip Eye.

00:44:18.000 This is an example of a post that was captured from one of the sites dedicated to Donald Trump, that we just talked about, shortly before the site was taken down.

00:44:28.000 Okay.

00:44:29.000 We'll have more than 12 comments this very second that this is archived and we said the word of the day.

00:44:33.000 Just for context.

00:44:34.000 And you can't comment live because that's a liability, but once it's archived you can comment.

00:44:38.000 Here's the truth.

00:44:39.000 The first and only time that image ever appeared on the internet?

00:44:43.000 January 6th.

00:44:44.000 January 6th!

00:44:45.000 So I think they think that Donald Trump is clairvoyant, like Kamala Harris, you know, where she can travel back in time and listen to Tupac before he was a thing.

00:44:52.000 First black person? 0.97

00:44:53.000 First black person.

00:44:53.000 They're holding him to that standard because he clearly would have known it was planned ahead of time.

00:44:58.000 How?

00:44:58.000 By this post that wasn't posted ahead of time with 12 comments.

00:45:02.000 Look, it's Donald dot, wait, that's the message board!

00:45:04.000 It has his name in it!

00:45:07.000 I rest my case.

00:45:11.000 There are more people in the Westboro Baptist Church than looked at that.

00:45:14.000 They have flippers for ears! 1.00

00:45:16.000 I know!

00:45:16.000 That's true.

00:45:18.000 Amazing.

00:45:19.000 Here's another one.

00:45:19.000 This is evidence.

00:45:20.000 And this is something that I missed.

00:45:22.000 Hats off to Lily and Sarah who helped us research this.

00:45:25.000 They also used a video.

00:45:25.000 This was presented and you wouldn't know and I didn't know.

00:45:28.000 Because of black people with their nicknames. 1.00

00:45:29.000 They always have nicknames.

00:45:30.000 So I didn't know that John Sullivan was the same person as Jaden X. And so this is one of the videos they presented from Jaden X. You can clearly see on CNN, this is what they presented as evidence.

00:45:41.000 You can see his watermark in the video.

00:45:43.000 See Jaden X right there?

00:45:52.000 He's a superman!

00:45:54.000 I told you!

00:45:56.000 I told you so, Jaden!

00:45:58.000 You're no more right!

00:45:59.000 That's my order!

00:46:04.000 Alright, there you go.

00:46:04.000 I just wanted to see Jaden X right there.

00:46:06.000 So that's Jaden X, that's John Sullivan.

00:46:08.000 After this we're probably going to change it to Martin Luther Jaden X. Little Jaden X. Red X. I mean, I don't know.

00:46:16.000 It made it hard.

00:46:18.000 I didn't connect the John Sullivan thing and Jaden X. Are you aware of this guy?

00:46:22.000 No, I've never heard of him.

00:46:23.000 But the whole X thing is... You're about to.

00:46:26.000 John Sullivan doesn't sound very... You guys need to get in touch with your roots.

00:46:30.000 I don't want to get in touch with them roots. 1.00

00:46:31.000 Also, I'm sorry about the series Roots.

00:46:35.000 I love that show.

00:46:36.000 That was a fake.

00:46:37.000 It's pretty tough for me to watch.

00:46:38.000 We get it.

00:46:39.000 I enjoyed that show.

00:46:40.000 Really?

00:46:40.000 Yeah.

00:46:41.000 Wow, you really are self-loathing.

00:46:44.000 So this is Jayden X. Jayden X is John Sullivan.

00:46:48.000 This is the source they use.

00:46:49.000 So, better than anonymous.

00:46:51.000 Better than nonexistent.

00:46:53.000 Better than banger of Chinese spies. 0.99

00:46:55.000 But I would still say there might be some bias there because this is what John Sullivan slash Jayden X is all about.

00:47:02.000 What's going on everybody?

00:47:03.000 My name's John Sullivan.

00:47:05.000 I'm from Salt Lake City, Utah.

00:47:07.000 My group is Insurgents USA. 0.98

00:47:08.000 We gotta f***ing rip Trump out of that office right over there. 1.00

00:47:12.000 F***ing pull him out that s***. 0.99

00:47:14.000 Nah, nah, we ain't about f***ing wait until the next election. 1.00

00:47:16.000 We about to go get that motherf***er. 0.98

00:47:18.000 Now, I don't think that that's a misinterpretation of someone saying, uh, we're bringing the cavalry. 0.99

00:47:22.000 No.

00:47:23.000 No, that seems pretty... That sounds almost literal.

00:47:26.000 It sounds like a threat.

00:47:27.000 But congratulations on being the only black man in Salt Lake City, Utah. 0.98

00:47:29.000 So that's good for you.

00:47:30.000 It's a fight, a good fight.

00:47:32.000 What does it stand out?

00:47:33.000 But they're not even concerned.

00:47:34.000 This guy is actually incited.

00:47:36.000 This guy is actually, not just an, I don't know if he incited because he may not have been successful, but called people to violence.

00:47:41.000 Yeah, absolutely. 0.99

00:47:42.000 He's so bad that even Black Lives Matter disowned him, and you know you've got to be really shitty. 0.99

00:47:48.000 Oh, that's rough. 0.99

00:47:49.000 Oh, that hurts.

00:47:50.000 Though after hearing him speak, I understand why he went with Jaden X. It sounds much tougher.

00:47:54.000 It sounds much tougher.

00:47:56.000 By the way, when you're doing a speech like that and you're threatening violence, don't wear a rash guard that shows you look like a famine victim.

00:48:03.000 There's nowhere to surf, you're in Utah.

00:48:05.000 Okay.

00:48:07.000 Here's, by the way, here's part of his Capitol footage that they didn't present, they didn't show you.

00:48:13.000 I never would have imagined that we would be here.

00:48:25.000 Dude, I was trying to tell you.

00:48:27.000 I couldn't say much.

00:48:29.000 You just have to watch my channel.

00:48:33.000 Is this not gonna be the best film you've ever made in your life?

00:48:37.000 Hell yeah.

00:48:40.000 Hell yeah?

00:48:41.000 Hell yeah.

00:48:41.000 Wait, you weren't recording, were you?

00:48:43.000 I'll delete that sh**. 0.98

00:48:45.000 But I didn't record you, did I? 0.97

00:48:46.000 Sorry to make you aware, sweetheart. 0.99

00:48:50.000 He, in fact, did not delete that shit. 0.99

00:48:52.000 Nope. 1.00

00:48:52.000 That is a lie. 1.00

00:48:54.000 To be fair, Mr. X doesn't know where the delete button is.

00:49:00.000 Look, I'm not saying that that proves that there was antifa, that this was staged, but here's the thing.

00:49:04.000 Look, a guy going in there who said, pull that man out of office, which, let's be clear, if he's willing to actually commit a felony, a violent act, a treasonous, violent act against the President of the United States, why would he be uncomfortable lying about him? 0.68

00:49:16.000 Of course they're going to bring him forward to lie, just like the women who lied about Brett Kavanaugh, and then they rescind it, but no one covers that story anymore, so right now they present Jaden X, and then when it comes out that he's a lying piece of crap, and he's actually committed acts of violence, they'll rescind it, and they just won't have any accountability at that point. 0.68

00:49:29.000 But think about this for a second. 0.90

00:49:31.000 That guy is there.

00:49:33.000 What if he shoves somebody?

00:49:35.000 Right?

00:49:36.000 It doesn't need to be a whole group of people.

00:49:37.000 He shoves somebody and someone reacts.

00:49:39.000 We've seen this happen.

00:49:40.000 It changed my mind.

00:49:41.000 It takes one person and that's why you have to have security there.

00:49:43.000 This is the point.

00:49:44.000 It was a powder keg.

00:49:45.000 It wasn't just one group of people. 0.97

00:49:48.000 And you're not being honest about it because I think you know that if people saw that video and they understood the video that you were showing was of a guy goading them on and a guy who had previously called for violence, why would the guy who said, hey, pull the motherfuckers out, let's burn this down, What would stop him from committing violence on that day when he's talking about how great it is? 0.94

00:50:06.000 Or inciting it more than Donald Trump did, right?

00:50:08.000 If you think Donald Trump incited it, we don't think he did, but you don't think he was egging them on as they were heading that way so that he could get, man, the best footage I've ever gotten in my life, right?

00:50:17.000 And be incredibly excited in that moment to be like, I'm gonna make money off of this.

00:50:25.000 Well, that's what dogs do! 0.98

00:50:27.000 Don't call him out for that!

00:50:29.000 Different strokes, right?

00:50:30.000 Okay, all right.

00:50:32.000 Different strokes, right?

00:50:33.000 Ow, my knee!

00:50:34.000 All right.

00:50:35.000 It's better than what's wrong.

00:50:36.000 He wants more.

00:50:37.000 Down.

00:50:40.000 I put the blanket on you and everything.

00:50:41.000 Now you distracted me.

00:50:43.000 It's probably because my blood pressure was going up.

00:50:45.000 Well look, two things can be true in this case.

00:50:47.000 Mike Ross made a really good point about this.

00:50:49.000 I think that you're looking at...

00:50:50.000 No, no, no, going back to this.

00:50:53.000 Everything that we see right now, by the way, is Democrats showing you how bad it was that

00:50:56.000 day.

00:50:57.000 And I will...

00:50:58.000 Granted, there were heroes that day who made sure that people got to safety.

00:51:01.000 There were people that did a fantastic job of being patriots and doing their jobs, right?

00:51:06.000 It was horrible that people broke in and did what they did.

00:51:08.000 It's horrible that people's lives were cost in this, right?

00:51:11.000 That is true.

00:51:12.000 But they're trying to make a connection to Donald Trump that is not true.

00:51:15.000 They're saying this is true and therefore Trump is wrong for doing this.

00:51:19.000 Well this brings me to what I think is the most important point here that hopefully you

00:51:22.000 guys if you're out there we can clip this, get it up because this is a timeline that

00:51:26.000 I haven't heard anyone else talk about and I know people will be upset because anytime

00:51:29.000 you discuss the deaths at hand and you discuss the truth people get mad and they say why

00:51:33.000 are you downplaying the death of the president?

00:51:34.000 That's not what I'm doing.

00:51:35.000 And by the way, of course, we do support people in law enforcement who are doing their job well, and I do think that there are tragedies, and I do think that people who committed unwarranted violence, of course, deserve to be prosecuted.

00:51:44.000 Have I set the context enough?

00:51:47.000 Okay.

00:51:47.000 Because it also matters that the House Impeachment Managers, and it confused me, and I follow this for a living, presented a video that claimed at least seven, and I was like, what happened to five?

00:51:56.000 Seven's a new five?

00:51:57.000 They claim that seven people died.

00:51:58.000 That's not true.

00:51:59.000 Here you go.

00:52:01.000 Okay.

00:52:02.000 That is a lie.

00:52:03.000 Yeah.

00:52:03.000 Now, let me be really clear about this.

00:52:06.000 Ashley Babbitt is a person who we know was shot by the police.

00:52:12.000 Okay, that is a lot.

00:52:17.000 Yeah.

00:52:18.000 Now, let me be really clear about this.

00:52:21.000 Ashley Babbitt is a person who we know was shot by the police.

00:52:25.000 And that's horrible.

00:52:26.000 That's a tragedy.

00:52:28.000 That genuinely makes me sad that that happened.

00:52:29.000 Yeah, absolutely.

00:52:31.000 There were five reported deaths.

00:52:32.000 There were not seven reported deaths initially.

00:52:34.000 Now they changed it.

00:52:35.000 The seven includes two officer suicides, which happened days after the riots.

00:52:40.000 No cause, by the way, is known.

00:52:41.000 Someone who was trampled to death in what was reported as a medical emergency.

00:52:45.000 We don't have all the information on that.

00:52:47.000 Two of the other five died of a heart attack and a stroke, and the times of death cannot be confirmed.

00:52:53.000 Now, the one that they focus on, as far as the officers, Officer Sicknick, he was originally reported to be bludgeoned to death with fire extinguishers.

00:52:59.000 And as everyone here, I'm sure we were all horrified to hear that.

00:53:02.000 And if that did happen, we are in fact horrified to hear it.

00:53:04.000 And if someone bludgeoned him to death with a fire extinguisher, I want to see them fry.

00:53:07.000 Okay?

00:53:08.000 That being said, there was misreporting here, which is cited as a source with the impeachment folks.

00:53:14.000 The reports of his death went to Twitter at 5.54pm.

00:53:18.000 It was a misreport.

00:53:19.000 His time of death was listed at 9.30pm.

00:53:23.000 9.30 p.m., Sicknick's autopsy.

00:53:25.000 It hadn't been released.

00:53:26.000 Reports refuted that he died from blunt force trauma, by the way.

00:53:29.000 It's not been released yet.

00:53:30.000 There are reports that are refuting that already.

00:53:33.000 Here's the thing with Sicknick, too.

00:53:34.000 Because this matters, I'm about to get to the Trump video on the timeline where they try to say that he condoned violence.

00:53:38.000 He texted his brother after returning from the riots, saying that he was okay, but he got pepper sprayed twice.

00:53:43.000 His family later learned he suffered a stroke and that he died on the 7th.

00:53:49.000 The report of his death was at 9 something p.m., I think 9.54 p.m.

00:53:53.000 And by the way, investigators have been completely unable to match the video of him being attacked with the fire extinguisher.

00:54:00.000 They don't have that video of him being bludgeoned to death with a fire extinguisher.

00:54:02.000 And there's a ton of footage.

00:54:03.000 Doesn't mean it didn't happen, but again, you said seven deaths and two were suicides days later, and other ones are unconfirmed and a heart attack and a stroke.

00:54:11.000 Listen, you are standing on the graves of people and politicizing it.

00:54:15.000 This is already tragic enough.

00:54:17.000 This is already wrong enough.

00:54:18.000 It's nowhere near the Black Lives Matter riots as far as damage, as far as deaths, as far as officer casualties. 0.52

00:54:23.000 It's not even close.

00:54:24.000 And you guys encouraged that.

00:54:25.000 We'll have a super count of that on Monday.

00:54:26.000 I bet you they'll probably bring it up in the impeachment.

00:54:28.000 All of Trump's worst versus all of the worst folks saying summer of love.

00:54:32.000 And here's something else that is really important to note.

00:54:34.000 need to be heard and riots are the voices of the unheard.

00:54:37.000 You are the party of encouraging violence and telling businesses in California, you know what, we're

00:54:41.000 not going to, just don't report the theft unless it's a thousand dollar minimum. That's what

00:54:44.000 was happening in California. Okay.

00:54:46.000 So you said seven after we had heard five and here's something else that is really important

00:54:51.000 to note. It was at 2 38 PM after the riots, Trump tweeted this exactly. Please support our capital

00:54:57.000 police and law enforcement. They are truly on the side of our country. Stay peaceful. Now,

00:55:01.000 what they're trying to say is Donald Trump said, we love you to them. Like he said,

00:55:05.000 we love you to riders. You were killing people. Keep in mind that every single one I mentioned,

00:55:08.000 most of them were days later, none of the deaths at this point.

00:55:12.000 So go home.

00:55:12.000 We love you.

00:55:13.000 But you have to go home now.

00:55:15.000 We have to have peace.

00:55:15.000 We have to have law and order.

00:55:16.000 released this video where he said you need to be peaceful and he said we love

00:55:20.000 you because he was at this point talking to people who rioted something got out

00:55:24.000 of hand but at this point there were no deaths yet it wasn't like Black Lives 1.00

00:55:27.000 Matter here's the video so go home we love you but you have to go home now we

00:55:34.000 have to have peace we have to have law and order we have to respect our great

00:55:38.000 people in law and order we don't want anybody hurt that was before any deaths

00:55:44.000 were confirmed after deaths have been confirmed after many many many deaths

00:55:49.000 after hundreds of officer casualties confirmed after billions of dollars in

00:55:51.000 damages you still have leaders of Democrat cities who haven't said that

00:55:55.000 who haven't said you need to go home and stop can you imagine this for a second

00:55:58.000 do you think for a second if it again Again, at this moment in time, context, no one had died yet,

00:56:04.000 there were only injuries.

00:56:05.000 Nowhere near the severity of Black Lives Matter. 0.92

00:56:07.000 Not saying that the attack here is justified.

00:56:10.000 But let's imagine a scenario, okay, where Black Lives Matter breaches, I don't know,

00:56:14.000 let's say breaches the CNN building, let's say breaches some state capital building,

00:56:18.000 and at that point there's no deaths.

00:56:20.000 And they're saying, we need to be heard.

00:56:22.000 Could you imagine, could you imagine any Democrat politicians saying anything other than their voices need to be heard and we need to not be violent, but still we need to listen to them?

00:56:30.000 They wouldn't have spoken as strongly and condemned Black Lives Matter as strongly as Donald Trump did before there was a single life lost.

00:56:37.000 How do I know?

00:56:38.000 Because you've had months and you haven't done it.

00:56:42.000 And a number of people even just thought they were peaceful protests in the first place and defended the rioting even though they could see the cars burning right behind the CNN reporters saying that it was mostly peaceful protests.

00:56:51.000 One quick question, and I don't want to step in anything here, but where are all the people that were saying that police brutality and police shooting people in situations maybe where they didn't need to with Ashley?

00:57:03.000 And a lot of people have brought this up like, was that a justified shooting?

00:57:06.000 And that's a question, I don't know.

00:57:08.000 I haven't seen everything about it.

00:57:09.000 I haven't seen every angle.

00:57:10.000 Ashley Babbit, you mean?

00:57:11.000 When she was shot, I think it was through glass and protesters was obviously at that point turning into rioters and trying to come through.

00:57:11.000 Right, yeah.

00:57:17.000 So I can understand fearing for your life, but if the guy in the Wendy's parking lot that fought two police officers, tossed them like ragdolls, grabbed the taser, ran off and started to shoot a cop, can't be shot, can Ashley?

00:57:28.000 Right.

00:57:28.000 Is it just because she was on the wrong team that day?

00:57:30.000 Exactly.

00:57:30.000 And that's why you don't bring anything up about this?

00:57:33.000 Right.

00:57:33.000 Just curious.

00:57:34.000 Yeah.

00:57:34.000 No, it really is a remarkable double standard, and it's not even close.

00:57:37.000 If you're to weigh the scales of the violence and the carnage and the condemnation, the response from Democrats, it's never been as strong.

00:57:44.000 Listen, it has been over the course of the entire... Summer of Love is a Seattle movie, I believe, referred to it.

00:57:49.000 It's been going on all summer and into the fall for crying out loud.

00:57:52.000 They had to change their merch to seasonal wear.

00:57:56.000 And what happened with Donald Trump?

00:57:57.000 Won!

00:57:58.000 Won, where there were some supporters for Donald Trump.

00:58:01.000 Won!

00:58:02.000 And at this point there were no deaths.

00:58:03.000 And he immediately said, we support law enforcement, you need to go home, you need to be peaceful.

00:58:06.000 He can't say, we love you, but you gotta go home?

00:58:08.000 Do you understand what a hostage negotiation is at that point?

00:58:10.000 At this point there are no lives lost, so let's not make it any worse.

00:58:13.000 We love you guys, we understand why you're upset, but you need to go home.

00:58:16.000 As opposed to the left who says, we love you guys, we understand, and I think that there's a jimboree down the block that you can burn down.

00:58:21.000 Walgreens is very flammable.

00:58:23.000 Yeah.

00:58:23.000 Well, and there's Rand Paul leaving the event, so go mob him.

00:58:26.000 Right.

00:58:27.000 Yeah, go mob him. 1.00

00:58:28.000 And we'll get money together and bail you out of jail if you do it again.

00:58:31.000 Exactly.

00:58:31.000 So you can do it again.

00:58:32.000 Right, right, right.

00:58:32.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:58:33.000 People who repeated, who committed murders, people who committed theft, people who committed rapes who are being bailed out, thanks Kamala Harris, our VP, helping with that bail fund.

00:58:40.000 All right.

00:58:40.000 We do have to get going.

00:58:41.000 We're going to talk with Ted Cruz.

00:58:43.000 I believe we have him.

00:58:43.000 We're going to talk with Ted Cruz in a little bit.

00:58:45.000 Everyone there, remember, word of the day is anonymous sources.

00:58:47.000 Comment your thoughts on impeachment.

00:58:49.000 Seeing this, has it changed your mind at all?

00:58:51.000 Comment, comment, comment.

00:58:53.000 And after Ted Cruz, we're going to go to Mug Club and take your chat.

00:58:55.000 All right, let's get going to the senator.

00:59:01.000 Trump has left office.

00:59:03.000 He's no longer president.

00:59:05.000 At this point, they're simply exercising their primal rage.

00:59:08.000 They hate the man so much.

00:59:11.000 And, you know, you think of the challenges facing this country.

00:59:14.000 I mean, we've got a global pandemic.

00:59:16.000 We have tens of millions of people out of work.

00:59:18.000 I think they need to put their partisan hatred aside and focus on actually working for the American people, getting America back to work, helping small businesses.

00:59:28.000 This is going to be just venting the id of the Democrats.

00:59:34.000 And then it's going to end with failure.

00:59:36.000 In order for the president to be convicted, it takes 67 votes in the U.S.

00:59:41.000 Senate.

00:59:41.000 That's not going to happen.

00:59:42.000 Rather than focus on getting kids back in school and getting tens of millions of Americans back to work, the Democrats want a week of just political theater raging at Donald Trump.

00:59:55.000 And there you have it, of course, that is a clip of our next guest.

00:59:57.000 Political theater, that's the word he used, which is almost an insult to theater.

01:00:04.000 Somewhere Ethel Merman is rolling over in her grave, singing clang clang clang went the trolley.

01:00:10.000 Our next guest, you can follow him on Twitter for as long as they allow him, at Ted Cruz or at send Ted Cruz.

01:00:15.000 His podcast is Verdict with Ted Cruz and his book is One Vote Away, which he hasn't sent us a hard copy yet.

01:00:21.000 Senator Ted Cruz, how are you, sir?

01:00:23.000 I am doing great, and since you're lacking a hard copy of the book, I'm happy to demo it, and we will send you this copy right here.

01:00:34.000 It is in the mail, along with a check.

01:00:37.000 Oh, your book is in the mail, so I can expect that to be lost.

01:00:42.000 Do FedEx, please.

01:00:43.000 Let's go the private route, just to be sure.

01:00:46.000 Okay, so, Senator Cruz, we have a lot to get to, and some tough questions, because I promised my audience that we'd be asking Republicans some tough questions here, and you've got some explaining to do, but not a lot.

01:00:56.000 First, let's go to... I haven't been Ricky Ricardo in a long time.

01:00:59.000 I know, yeah. 0.97

01:01:01.000 By the way, threaten to beat his wife mercilessly.

01:01:03.000 When you watch those old shows, you're like, the good old times.

01:01:06.000 Do you have any idea?

01:01:07.000 Do you watch the Honeymooners?

01:01:08.000 Boom, zoom to the moon, and I'm going to strike you so hard, you will be in orbit. 0.51

01:01:14.000 Yeah, but nobody on Earth. 0.98

01:01:16.000 Yeah, and it was foreshadowing to now the executive action from Joe Biden, where trans males can beat up trans females. 0.72

01:01:22.000 So who knows now?

01:01:23.000 The lines are blurred.

01:01:23.000 on an ice even keel.

01:01:39.000 Tell people what we're watching here.

01:01:41.000 What do you think about this impeachment trial?

01:01:44.000 I mean, I really do think it's a shame.

01:01:45.000 I think that Donald Trump's defense attorney, the first guy, should just walk off a cliff, figuratively.

01:01:52.000 Why is this happening right now?

01:01:54.000 And the constitutionality is your strong suit, but you have both sides.

01:01:57.000 They always have these arguments.

01:01:58.000 Well, the Constitution says this.

01:02:01.000 Give us the rundown.

01:02:03.000 So let me take both pieces.

01:02:05.000 Number one, why is it happening?

01:02:06.000 Because Democrats hate the president.

01:02:08.000 They hate Donald Trump.

01:02:10.000 For four years, that's been the Democratic Party.

01:02:12.000 It's been defined by this pathological... I mean, there's a reason Trump derangement syndrome is a thing.

01:02:18.000 That's who they are.

01:02:20.000 And so...

01:02:22.000 This week, the trial is going to be lots of screaming, lots of pounding on the table, lots of emotional, you know, grasping their ties and, like, looking with big puppy eyes.

01:02:33.000 And there's going to be lots of videos, really heart-wrenching videos.

01:02:38.000 But at the end of the day, it's doomed to failure.

01:02:40.000 They know that.

01:02:42.000 Every senator in the chamber, all 100 senators, know the outcome of this is going to be that Trump's going to be acquitted.

01:02:47.000 They need 67 votes to convict.

01:02:50.000 That ain't gonna happen.

01:02:51.000 There's gonna be somewhere around 55 votes to convict, plus or minus one or two, and then it'll be over.

01:02:59.000 And they're going through this not because they actually want to accomplish what they say they're trying to do, but because they just hate the guy.

01:03:07.000 And there's no reasonable argument, I believe, that this meets the standard For impeachment, the standard is high crimes and misdemeanors.

01:03:18.000 Their argument is that Trump incited the violence.

01:03:22.000 Listen, I was here at the Capitol.

01:03:23.000 I was on the Senate floor when the attack occurred.

01:03:26.000 It was a terrorist attack.

01:03:28.000 It was reprehensible.

01:03:30.000 One police officer was murdered.

01:03:32.000 Every one of those violent criminals should be fully prosecuted.

01:03:36.000 But if you look at what Trump said, and listen, I've been among the first to say that Trump's rhetoric was overheated, that it went too far.

01:03:44.000 I wish he hadn't gone as far as he did.

01:03:46.000 But the Democrats' argument is, using language like fight and win and take back our country, that that is somehow Incitement to violence.

01:03:56.000 You know, if that is true, you better be prepared to line up and indict every single political candidate for office who's ever given a stump speech.

01:04:04.000 The local candidate for dog catcher is right now saying we need to fight and win and take back our country from the dogs. 0.93

01:04:13.000 This is absurd hypocrisy. 0.81

01:04:17.000 They know it, but their anger and rage towards Trump is what's driving it. 0.96

01:04:23.000 Now that being said, I know you're making light of it, but it's no laughing matter when large swaths of Detroit are controlled by packs of roaming wild dogs.

01:04:32.000 It's a serious elected position, and I don't appreciate your tone there.

01:04:36.000 You know, I'll just point out that the great state of Texas, where you and I both reside, the legislature changed the law to legalize hog hunting from helicopters.

01:04:47.000 Yes!

01:04:47.000 Yes.

01:04:48.000 Which may be the coolest... I love Texas.

01:04:51.000 Like, now look, hogs are a pestilence and they destroy crops and they do all sorts of damage, but it is still thoroughly badass, and I'm going to admit to you right now, Stephen, that I I feel completely 0.98

01:05:11.000 Incomplete as a person, until I actually get up in a helicopter and hunt hogs.

01:05:15.000 I haven't done it yet.

01:05:16.000 I'm trying to make that happen very, very soon, and I'll let you know when I do.

01:05:22.000 And so, you know, the wolves that have taken over, those can be dealt with too.

01:05:26.000 Yeah, well they're not wolves, they're just actually wild dogs.

01:05:28.000 That's a perfect example, actually, in Detroit, you know, Michigan, where I spend quite a bit of my time, they had a vote for a wolf hunt in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.

01:05:36.000 I don't know how familiar you are, but that's that's separate by a large body of water.

01:05:39.000 So there are...

01:05:40.000 The UP.

01:05:41.000 Yes, the UP, serious people.

01:05:42.000 We have someone from Wisconsin who works here, even Brendan, and he thinks it should be part of Wisconsin, 1.00

01:05:46.000 but he's a moron. 0.99

01:05:47.000 So they had a vote on a wolf hunt because there was a problem in the UP 1.00

01:05:52.000 and it was voted down.

01:05:53.000 You know why?

01:05:54.000 Because a bunch of hipsters in Detroit coffee shops thought it was mean.

01:05:57.000 They're like, well, the wolves keep the coyote population in check.

01:06:00.000 The UPers said, we're more concerned about the wolves than the coyotes right now.

01:06:05.000 And that's a problem, I think, with a lot of politics.

01:06:07.000 We have Americans who feel their voice doesn't get heard because some people in big cities just, you know, they overrule their vote.

01:06:13.000 Why are people in Detroit voting on a wolf hunt for people in the UP?

01:06:17.000 And that brings us back to the election.

01:06:19.000 Now, you just said, and this is something that I know you've caught some heat for, Donald Trump went too far in his rhetoric.

01:06:26.000 Could you give me some examples?

01:06:27.000 What do you mean by that?

01:06:29.000 Oh, look, I, by the way, that this is not a new sentiment.

01:06:33.000 I think Trump's rhetoric often goes too far.

01:06:36.000 I wish what he said and what he tweets was just ratcheted down a ton or two.

01:06:40.000 I actually think he would have been more effective without all the drama, that there were some unforced errors.

01:06:46.000 And so, listen, with regard to the last election, I think the president's saying over and over again, That the election was stolen.

01:06:54.000 It's overwhelming and completely clear.

01:06:57.000 I actually don't think the evidence backs that up.

01:06:59.000 I think there is serious evidence of voter fraud that needs to be investigated.

01:07:04.000 It's why I stood up on the floor of the Senate and brought together 11 senators calling for an election commission to review the evidence.

01:07:12.000 But I think determinations like that ought to be actually based on evidence and facts and not just stating the outcome you want, which is it was stolen because I say so.

01:07:23.000 I think it's much better to have it actually derived from and connected to the facts.

01:07:28.000 But here's the thing.

01:07:29.000 You know that most of these cases were dismissed, that the evidence wasn't even heard.

01:07:33.000 I mean, the Supreme Court in particular, right, dismissing it on standing.

01:07:37.000 So what does President Trump do?

01:07:38.000 And not just President Trump, but the 70 million Americans who voted for him were saying, well, hold on, there's no due process here.

01:07:44.000 We've shown irregularities and we might be banned from social media if we show these irregularities.

01:07:49.000 How do we say it's not based on evidence when, I know the standard, we're talking about evidence proven in court, but they haven't heard the evidence.

01:07:56.000 Let me ask you this, have you seen, do you believe that you've seen enough evidence to say there have been some serious irregularities and large levels of fraud in the last election?

01:08:05.000 I think there unquestionably have been serious irregularities, and what we know that the Democrats have done in state by state, what they certainly did was change the rules to benefit them.

01:08:15.000 So the move, for example, to universal mail-in balloting.

01:08:17.000 Let's take a state of Pennsylvania, where they moved to universal mail-in balloting.

01:08:22.000 It's contrary to the Pennsylvania state constitution.

01:08:24.000 They ignored the law, and they did it because they understand that for a long time, Mail-in balloting has been the greatest source of voter fraud, that it is susceptible to ballot harvesting, it's susceptible to things like you take a nursing home.

01:08:43.000 When you have universal mail-in balloting, political operatives can go into a nursing home to a bunch of folks who may not be competent anymore to make determinations, and fill out the ballots for them, and mail them in.

01:08:55.000 And by the way, if one of the nursing home residents is stubborn and votes the wrong way from the political operative's view, they can just throw their ballot out.

01:09:03.000 And that's a problem, you know, just a couple of months ago in Texas, A woman was indicted for voter fraud for doing exactly that.

01:09:10.000 Over a hundred ballots she went to nursing home residents to fill out. 0.99

01:09:14.000 Many of them were not competent, were not capable to understand what they were doing, and she was trying to steal votes.

01:09:20.000 And so mail-in balloting is particularly susceptible.

01:09:23.000 And it's not just me that says that, by the way.

01:09:25.000 There was a bipartisan commission a number of years back.

01:09:28.000 It was chaired by Jimmy Carter and James Baker.

01:09:31.000 It's called the Carter-Baker Commission.

01:09:33.000 Jimmy Carter is hardly some right-wing kook.

01:09:36.000 Well, you also have the letter written from Elizabeth Warren and Amy Klobuchar to, I believe it was the parent company of Dominion, not saying that it was the ghost of Hugo Chavez who came back and stole the election, but saying, hey, these machines are not secure in the standards that we require for national elections.

01:09:50.000 Signed, Elizabeth Warren, Amy Klobuchar.

01:09:52.000 So it was okay to say that and post it on social media until recently.

01:09:56.000 Now it's considered treason, I guess?

01:09:58.000 Or a high crime?

01:09:59.000 So listen, what I would say is there is significant evidence that there was meaningful voter fraud that is deeply concerning.

01:10:08.000 And you were right that many of the court cases were decided on procedural grounds.

01:10:12.000 They didn't get to the merits.

01:10:13.000 They didn't get to the underlying evidence because of procedural barriers.

01:10:16.000 It's why, on January 6th, I stood up and led the objection and raised the objection because I said, listen, there's enough evidence, prima facie evidence, on the front to raise a serious concern.

01:10:28.000 We need to appoint an impartial election commission that can consider the evidence on the merits and make a conclusive determination.

01:10:36.000 I still think that would have been the right path to take if we had done that and reviewed it on the merits.

01:10:41.000 You know, you've got nearly half the country that believes the election was rigged.

01:10:47.000 That's not good for the stability, for confidence in our democracy.

01:10:51.000 I think having a process to conduct a fair audit would have been much better.

01:10:55.000 Unfortunately, the Senate didn't agree.

01:10:57.000 Well, I would argue worse for democracy and the trust of our constituency is potentially elections being rigged or unsecure according to

01:11:05.000 Democrats before this election.

01:11:07.000 And I think that a lot of people feel as though their vote doesn't matter going forward.

01:11:11.000 You know, and that asks me because they go, well, listen, if this is what happened in

01:11:13.000 the last election, there's over 30 plus million Americans who feel that way, specifically

01:11:18.000 on election fraud.

01:11:20.000 What do you think the future of the Republican Party is?

01:11:22.000 Because I think you have a lot of people who are mad saying, you do need to fight like hell and people are willing to move on and take this on the chin.

01:11:28.000 And I tell you what, for me, because, you know, we cross-reference.

01:11:31.000 We have an intern with pictures of today's newspaper in Nevada.

01:11:34.000 Addresses that don't exist.

01:11:35.000 We could only go to so many dozens of addresses to show these are not valid addresses.

01:11:40.000 This is a fake vote.

01:11:41.000 We can prove it.

01:11:42.000 I would say it under court and a penalty of perjury because we I've seen this myself.

01:11:47.000 I can't say that I've seen everything else.

01:11:48.000 This is what I can claim in court and no court would admit it as evidence.

01:11:52.000 What's the future of the Republican Party?

01:11:54.000 Do we think there's a place for the Liz Cheney's of the world and the Trump voters of the world?

01:12:01.000 So listen, I think there should be a place for everyone who's willing to vote to save our country.

01:12:06.000 And I do think efforts actually on either side within the Republican Party to purge, either purge Trump supporters or purge those who are skeptical of the President, I think both of those are mistakes.

01:12:16.000 I want to win.

01:12:17.000 I want to get to 50 plus 1. 0.77

01:12:19.000 I want to actually have policies that make sense for our country, that defend our liberties, that protect our free speech and our religious liberty and our Second Amendment.

01:12:27.000 I want those policies in place.

01:12:29.000 And so I think we should be growing the team of supporters.

01:12:33.000 Now, does that mean we give up and stop fighting?

01:12:37.000 Absolutely not.

01:12:38.000 To the contrary, we need to stand up and fight for what I believe in, and what you believe in, and what all of us believe in.

01:12:44.000 We need to fight seriously and effectively.

01:12:49.000 And figuratively!

01:12:51.000 And this is a battle, an electoral battle that will go on.

01:12:53.000 I can't clarify that because when you say fight, I'm not saying take a battle. 1.00

01:12:57.000 You treasonous bastard. 0.99

01:13:00.000 You know, and this is a battle, an electoral battle that will go on. 1.00

01:13:07.000 Defending liberty is not is not easy.

01:13:11.000 Election fraud is a serious threat.

01:13:12.000 I've spent 20 years fighting voter fraud.

01:13:14.000 When I was Solicitor General of Texas, I led the states defending photo ID laws in the states.

01:13:20.000 Right.

01:13:21.000 Voter fraud is a real problem and we need to fight against it.

01:13:27.000 That being said, I do think you sometimes see Republican politicians who say, who use voter fraud as an excuse.

01:13:37.000 I can tell you my approach, what I've been on the ballot, is yes, voter fraud's a problem, we need to fight it and combat it, but for the election coming up right now, here's the simplest answer.

01:13:46.000 Win by a big enough margin that they can't steal it from.

01:13:50.000 And I do think, from the approach of get the job done, that is important.

01:13:55.000 And I'll give you an example where we didn't get the job done.

01:13:58.000 Which is the Georgia Senate runoffs on January 5th.

01:14:01.000 Right.

01:14:01.000 Now I went down to Georgia three separate times and campaigned on the ground.

01:14:05.000 Those were the most important Senate races of our lifetimes.

01:14:08.000 We lost them both.

01:14:10.000 That is what handed the Senate over to Chuck Schumer.

01:14:13.000 The country is going to go through some horrible policies because we lost those races. 0.92

01:14:20.000 What happened in Georgia?

01:14:22.000 All the Democrats showed up.

01:14:23.000 They were angry.

01:14:24.000 They were united.

01:14:25.000 They were invigorated.

01:14:28.000 To jam through the socialist policies that they're getting ready to push through.

01:14:32.000 And our guys stayed home.

01:14:34.000 Our guys were depressed.

01:14:35.000 They were demoralized.

01:14:37.000 And they didn't show up.

01:14:40.000 Well, it's because a lot of them felt like their vote didn't matter.

01:14:43.000 You know, like you just said, win by a large enough margin, you have a lot of people in this country who think that did happen and they could still steal it.

01:14:51.000 We haven't seen the evidence, but I'm just saying I understand how those people feel.

01:14:54.000 I still think they should go out and vote, but it does in some ways for many Americans right now feel like a hopeless endeavor and they just don't feel like Republicans are fighting for them enough.

01:15:03.000 Look, are Republicans fighting enough?

01:15:06.000 No.

01:15:06.000 And that has been a persistent problem.

01:15:10.000 But, we can win, we have won.

01:15:13.000 You look at even this election, where we won most of the close Senate seats, and we gained a bunch of seats in the House of Representatives.

01:15:22.000 But it is about turnout.

01:15:23.000 You know, it reminds me of, you know, John Madden, when he was, you know, you play those video games or watch him announcing football, you know, saying things like, well, you know, if you score more points than the other team, you're going to win the game.

01:15:38.000 That's true in politics too, which is if their voters show up and yours stay home, You're going to lose the election.

01:15:49.000 But it's not true if it's like a boxing match and the guy keeps punching you in the nuts and the ref doesn't call it and then you keep trying to keep it above the belt.

01:15:56.000 I think that's what a lot of people feel that right now, even outside of voter fraud, even that Democrats play dirty.

01:16:01.000 I mean, for crying out loud, Senator Ted Cruz, AOC said you tried to have her murdered.

01:16:06.000 I mean, that is the most absurd thing I've ever heard.

01:16:10.000 By the way, your response.

01:16:11.000 I know you're going to be nice about it, but let's have something that needs to be commensurate with the accusation.

01:16:16.000 She said that you tried to have her murdered.

01:16:18.000 I can't think of something that could inspire one to violence more than a statement like that.

01:16:23.000 Because if I believed you were actually a murderer, you know, Timothy Olyphant, shaved head hitman, I'd probably, I'd probably get physical with you if I believed it. 0.96

01:16:32.000 Look, she, she's unhinged. 0.97

01:16:39.000 But I don't need to respond in kind. 1.00

01:16:42.000 I don't need to scream, you know, ah, you're a terrorist, run away! 0.99

01:16:46.000 Like, it's just, the left has lost their minds. 0.87

01:16:51.000 And I actually think it's much more effective to respond with a smile, to respond with humor.

01:16:58.000 I don't take a screaming socialist who believes that people are trying to have her murdered, I don't take that seriously.

01:17:06.000 I think it's nutty and it's, It's self-parodying.

01:17:11.000 You don't actually have to... I don't think you need to say much other than, well, that's pretty crazy.

01:17:18.000 Here's the problem.

01:17:20.000 You're intelligent, you're too reasonable, and there are a lot of people in the country who aren't, but more importantly, the media doesn't care.

01:17:27.000 After the AOC, you know, it came out that she wasn't there when she was in the, was it the Cannon Building?

01:17:32.000 She was several miles away.

01:17:33.000 We covered this in depth, and the pipe bombs weren't planted anywhere near her, and she kept changing her story.

01:17:38.000 After all this occurred, two days later, I was listening to, I have an ABC News update, and it's kind of set to my podcast stuff, just because I want to hear what they're saying.

01:17:46.000 On Friday, they said AOC described her harrowing experience at the state capitol, and I thought, oh, they're going to address the controversy now, as though it didn't even happen.

01:17:55.000 So I know that you think it's, and I think she's crazy, we know she's certifiable, but the media doesn't treat it that way, and then it's a drip, drip, drip with enough Americans who absorb it, and they think, oh, well, Ted Cruz is an attempted murderer.

01:18:06.000 Yeah, look, there's no doubt about it, and the media is utterly complicit.

01:18:11.000 One of the consequences of the last four years is the media's broken.

01:18:14.000 There is not anything... You look at something like CNN, which is... I tell you, four years ago, you could see them trying to be journalists.

01:18:23.000 They don't try now.

01:18:24.000 They hate Trump so much that they are raving partisans.

01:18:28.000 Nobody argues the media isn't biased anymore.

01:18:30.000 Nobody in the media argues that.

01:18:31.000 I mean, they are...

01:18:34.000 Passionate, vicious partisans and some of the AOC thing, of course, and by the way, AOC, the fact that she's unhinged doesn't mean she isn't dangerous.

01:18:42.000 Her idea, she's an unmitigated socialist, her idea is, look, this is a woman who celebrated driving Amazon out of New York and killing 25,000 jobs.

01:18:42.000 Right.

01:18:51.000 Yeah, with a six-figure average pay.

01:18:54.000 You know, who needs jobs?

01:18:56.000 I mean, these people are The ideas they're putting forward would do enormous damage to our country.

01:19:03.000 And by the way, they're vicious.

01:19:05.000 Part of the reason she's claiming that I tried to have her murdered is this is like Robespierre, the hard left.

01:19:12.000 They want to destroy all their enemies.

01:19:14.000 I mean, they are trying.

01:19:16.000 They're trying to destroy Donald Trump.

01:19:18.000 Why is this impeachment hearing happening? 0.72

01:19:20.000 Because they hate him so much that they figure, let's drive a stake through him.

01:19:23.000 And it's driven by hatred and extremism.

01:19:26.000 And they want to drive a stake through you and me.

01:19:28.000 And they're trying to erase all 75 million Americans who voted for Trump.

01:19:34.000 And right now the media is fully in on it, big tech is fully in on it.

01:19:38.000 I mean, it is, this is the Empire Strikes Back, to shift to a different movie reference.

01:19:43.000 I mean, they are right now, we will crush the rebellion.

01:19:48.000 Was that Darth Vader or was that the Palpatine?

01:19:50.000 I don't know Star Wars.

01:19:52.000 That was Darth Vader, although I probably need to work on my impressions.

01:19:55.000 You may be safe in the 90s.

01:19:58.000 I just don't follow nerd lore, but I understand the reference.

01:20:02.000 But here's the thing, Senator Cruz... And by the way, I don't entirely believe you.

01:20:06.000 I think you probably have the Watchmen graphic novel hidden underneath your desk.

01:20:11.000 You're a recovering nerd pretending to be cool?

01:20:14.000 No, I've talked about this on the show. 0.86

01:20:15.000 I viewed the Watchmen on a flight, and I walked out.

01:20:20.000 That's how much I dislike the Watchmen.

01:20:24.000 I said, can you get that small child, the toddler, to start kicking the TV tray in the back of my chair so it just ruins my train of thought here, distracts me?

01:20:32.000 But here's the thing, now they control three branches of government, the left.

01:20:36.000 Republicans, and I remember when you were here, you know, a few months ago, I said, four years, the biggest issue of our time is big tech, 230.

01:20:42.000 A lot of people don't, Republicans, they didn't do anything.

01:20:44.000 What hope do they have now?

01:20:45.000 Now it's open season.

01:20:47.000 It's going to start with Trump and work its way down to all of us.

01:20:50.000 Look, it is open season.

01:20:51.000 It is profoundly dangerous.

01:20:53.000 Alright, in Congress, all the Democrats are opposed to doing anything about Big Tech.

01:20:58.000 They want them to use their monopoly power to silence and destroy their enemies.

01:21:01.000 So you've got half the Congress that is fully in bed with Big Tech.

01:21:05.000 You then have half the Republicans that are just scared of doing much of anything.

01:21:09.000 So it's only a handful of us.

01:21:10.000 I mean, I've been leading the fight on Big Tech for the last several years.

01:21:13.000 I've chaired hearing after hearing after hearing.

01:21:15.000 I've been pressing for action.

01:21:17.000 Here's the real problem.

01:21:19.000 When you've got all the Democrats and half the Republicans on the other side, you don't have the votes to move something through Congress.

01:21:25.000 So I've proposed all sorts of things.

01:21:26.000 They ain't gonna move because the votes aren't there.

01:21:29.000 So the only hope was the executive branch.

01:21:31.000 Right.

01:21:32.000 For four years, we had the executive branch.

01:21:34.000 And one of the challenges Look, Trump understood that big tech was a problem.

01:21:39.000 He wanted to do something about it.

01:21:41.000 The rest of his administration couldn't actually effectively execute to do something about it.

01:21:46.000 I can tell you in the last four years on this topic, I have sat down and met repeatedly.

01:21:53.000 With President Trump, Vice President Pence, the White House Chief of Staff, the Attorney General, the Deputy Attorney General, the Assistant Attorney General for the Antitrust Division, the Chairman of the Federal Trade Commission, the General Counsel of the Federal Trade Commission, every one of them laying out, here are the steps we need to take.

01:22:08.000 And they did bring a lawsuit against Google, that was good.

01:22:12.000 Right.

01:22:13.000 But that was focused mostly on commercial and anti-competitive conduct Outside of the speech and censorship side.

01:22:22.000 And I could never get the people in the administration executing the policy to get serious about stopping censorship.

01:22:30.000 Trump wanted to.

01:22:32.000 And he'd say, gosh, I wish this would happen.

01:22:34.000 But nobody in his administration was able to be focused and effective and competent and get it done.

01:22:41.000 That's the only way we're going to get it done is with an executive that is ready to act and knows how to act.

01:22:46.000 Because you're saying there are too many Republicans in the Senate who wouldn't take part?

01:22:50.000 Well then how about you and your guys co-write up some legislation and put it on the table and let's find out who those 50 Republicans are and vote them out.

01:23:03.000 So we know who they are.

01:23:04.000 So for example, the Senate Judiciary Committee, we voted on the bill a month or two ago.

01:23:12.000 Alright, I want a list of those names and I want those people voted out because that's the biggest issue of our time.

01:23:23.000 I don't consider it winning if those people... I want a big tent?

01:23:26.000 I don't want those Namby Pambys. 1.00

01:23:27.000 I think that's fair.

01:23:29.000 Look, it is an existential threat.

01:23:32.000 That being said, and by the way, the Biden administration will do nothing because they're bought and paid for by big tech.

01:23:37.000 Those are their supporters, and they want big tech to be worse.

01:23:40.000 It's not even that they won't rein in big tech.

01:23:43.000 The Biden administration is cheering for tech to be worse.

01:23:46.000 Right.

01:23:47.000 So the only answer, frankly, Is win the White House and have an executive who understands the danger and is capable and competent and knows how to use the tools of law enforcement to stop the censorship and silence and abuse of power.

01:24:04.000 Okay.

01:24:05.000 We're going to go behind YouTube just for two minutes with you real quick.

01:24:05.000 So I know you have to go.

01:24:07.000 But listen, we know there's probably a chance that you're going to run in the next election.

01:24:11.000 You're a popular Republican, national figure.

01:24:13.000 Maybe you will, maybe you won't.

01:24:14.000 Well, you make the promise right now that if you run and you win, you will take executive action.

01:24:19.000 To make sure that speech is free and open on these platforms who claim to be platforms.

01:24:24.000 Absolutely.

01:24:24.000 100%.

01:24:25.000 All right.

01:24:25.000 I'm going to hold you to that, and if you don't, you run for president, and if I vote for you and you win, I'm going to accuse you of attempted murder, only it's going to be way more in-depth, and I'm going to have receipts, and there's going to be some very large man named Lyle who works for you.

01:24:38.000 Okay.

01:24:39.000 So really quickly... I will say, if you say murder, you have to... I don't know if you saw the Babylon Bee article that had AOC laying on the ground screaming, So it does seem to me there need to be a few more W's in murder if you're going to say that. 0.63

01:24:54.000 This is true.
