In this episode of the podcast, we continue our annual cultural appropriation month by exploring the words and phrases used to describe the cultural appropriation of the past and present, and how they can be applied to the present and future.
00:15:52.000Fascist, racist, gay, drink twice if it's butt gig, ice, deportation, border, crisis, camps, migrant, fair share, slash, fairness, white, supremacist, Trump, one percent, student loans or debt, marginalized, LGBTQ, parentheses, AAIP, we must act, Klan, parenthood, reproductive rights, women's rights, medicare for all, drink if Kristen DeLaBrande has more than one question, Obama, morality, Gun Control, Yang Gang, Millionaires, Billionaires, Wall Street.
00:16:11.000We'll probably make some up along the way.
00:17:24.000By the way, we strongly expect, that's why you're not hearing the debate right now, it's a watch-along, so tune in your TV to the debate, or on YouTube, because our stream could very likely be removed from NBC, which wouldn't surprise me.
00:17:35.000So Blaze, yeah, you can watch it tonight for free on Blaze, on Blaze TV and the app.
00:17:40.000Also, by the way, we just crossed 4 million subscribers!
00:22:32.000Which doesn't make, like, a sense, because the Democrats are in a position where, at least with the current president, not one of the most popular guys in the world, where if you're ever gonna, like, make a tag for the middle to try and peel off some more votes- It's not hard!
00:24:12.000By the way, tonight we have, I bet you they're going to talk, of course, border crisis, climate change, abortion, economy, education, election interference, guns, health care, immigration, slave reparations, universal child care.
00:24:21.000Because slave reparations is mainstream now.
00:25:10.000So I'm trying to think, when we talk about how some of these people are racing super far to the left, or quickly to the left.
00:25:16.000Pick one person on that stage tonight, one person who you would say, when they talk about the current Democratic Party, and they try to say that they're a party that's a wider tent, one person there, probably Biden, who would have reasonable points of view, who would be more of a centrist.
00:26:08.000The funny thing is, I think Hickenlooper and Bennett are actual moderates, but I don't know which one's Hickenlooper and which one's Bennett.
00:26:13.000Oh, okay, hey, by the way, thank you so much, sweetheart.
00:27:33.000Before we get into this, because we're going to be talking about pure policy when we get to the debates, and that's going to be wildly unfun.
00:27:38.000But did you see that San Francisco, San Francisco not only banned Juul cigarettes, but by the way, their home is San Francisco, and vaping products and nicotine.
00:27:45.000Not only do they ban it for sale in San Francisco, they banned shipping nicotine products to San Francisco.
00:27:53.000You can go in as a tranny and take a dump on a fake mustache in a little girl's room, walk out, smoke a joint, take a crap in the street, but the second you grab a vaping product, you're kicked out of city lines.
00:28:59.000That is a little, that is a little... I think a lot of people picture, uh, Quarter Black Garrett, they think the picture in your wallet of your father is Lester Holt.
00:29:07.000The one that just comes with the stock wallet.
00:29:09.000I'm sorry, Dad, he's watching this right now.
00:29:10.000And Chuck Todd always looks like... Chuck Todd looks like a family of caterpillars just went right onto his beard and just laid a bunch of eggs.
00:29:23.000Wow, you should know a lot about Gillibrand.
00:29:26.000I know we don't want to place too much emphasis on being presidential, but if your headshot makes you look like Ben Shapiro would kick the crap out of you in a street fight... Swallow just looks so funny to me.
00:33:10.000When you look at Americans, and specifically you look at the bottom 20%, not only do they pay nothing in taxes, but when you look at the federal transfers that they see, they pay net negative, meaning federal transfers, welfare, public programs, food stamps, things like that that they get, they pay a net negative of 58%.
00:33:26.000All the way up through the middle class, there's a net negative that they pay an income tax.
00:33:29.000Then you have the top 20% pay 30% of their income in taxes.
00:33:34.00047% of Americans pay no federal income tax whatsoever.
00:33:36.000So when people say, this is a tax break for the rich, it is necessarily a tax break for that remaining half America who pay taxes and don't have net federal transfers.
00:33:47.000This is the big lie that they don't want to tell you.
00:33:49.000That's why Bernie Sanders doesn't want to answer that question.
00:33:52.000Every single person would have to pay more in taxes.
00:33:54.000You want to know how someone would pay more in taxes in the middle class?
00:33:58.000If they paid 1%, they'd be paying more in taxes.
00:40:13.000In other words, for example, everyone here, right, who's worked at this company, Quarter Black Garrett, Audio Wade, Too Cute Maddie, we have Columbia Maddie there.
00:40:19.000I want to ask about Beto's Spanish in not too long.
00:40:24.000Now, if you're a PA at the company, that job is still worth the same amount.
00:40:27.000Of course, it gets an increase because of inflation.
00:40:29.000That being said, people in this company make more money.
00:40:33.000Flipping burgers at McDonald's is still worth about the same amount.
00:40:36.000It still presents the same amount of value.
00:40:38.000But individuals consistently make more.
00:40:41.000And the reason there's a big difference between average hourly earnings versus individual income is it takes into account how long you've been into a job, how young you are.
00:40:48.000And the longer you live, the longer you've been at a company, you kind of hit this arc.
00:40:51.000Right, and I think we have this as an overlay.
00:40:54.000There's an arc, and there's a chart that shows people get huge raises at the middle portion of their career.
00:40:59.000They start off, it stays pretty stagnant.
00:41:00.000Then they move up, and when they get older, it remains relatively stagnant because now they're in the upper echelon of earnings.
00:41:05.000This idea that Americans do not earn more is not true, and I want you to tweet me.
00:41:09.000Use the Crowder hashtag, Crowder Debate Stream, and let me know if you've worked in the same job for 10 years or more, if you have not seen an increase.
00:42:30.000For the same reason they don't want there to be voter ID, because they know that they would see an entirely different voting bloc, right?
00:42:36.000No, we couldn't possibly be bothered to make sure that people are citizens on the census or to vote in the next representative of the United States, the next most powerful leader of the free world.
00:42:44.000For that same reason, they don't want people to pay taxes.
00:42:48.000Because if people pay taxes, guess what?
00:43:40.000He says, right, people are, you know, these innovations are hurting people, and if we give them $1,000, they'll spend it in their local economies.
00:43:45.000Or people will take $1,000, they could spend it on anything, they could spend it on drugs, they could spend it on booze, or they could also, as most people are doing now, spend it on Amazon.
00:43:52.000How do you know they're going to a local craft brewery?
00:47:17.000Well, look, he talks about people needing something beyond high school.
00:47:19.000You know why that became a thing, right?
00:47:20.000A high school diploma used to mean something in this country, right?
00:47:23.000And I know there's been innovations and the demand for skills, but then it became college.
00:47:27.000Okay, everybody has to be shoved into college right now, and we have to subsidize it, which makes all the rates go up, and now you have useless college degrees, so it's post-graduate degrees now that everybody's asking for.
00:47:37.000Hold on, Bernie's yelling about something.
00:47:41.000To me, he doesn't look like an angry old man there.
00:49:55.000They want more and more and more government control.
00:49:57.000They're telling you that you can't make it.
00:49:59.000Now, we're not talking about the extreme of somebody who has a legitimate reason why they're in poverty and all of the wonderful charity cases out there, or charity, not cases, but charities, out there that help those people.
00:50:30.000Universal basic income gives it to everyone.
00:50:32.000Now you end up in a net loss if you're paying a lot of money and you only get $1,000 back, but you're paying $20,000 a year because of the new taxes.
00:50:39.000You just talked about it being $3 trillion.
00:50:40.000Don't worry, Bernie has it figured out.
00:50:42.000And by the way, you know what happens with a VAT tax?
00:50:44.000If you pay a sales tax for your state, it's on top of that.
00:50:48.000Name me one place that's ever had a VAT tax that's A, gone down or gone away.
00:52:20.000And so it opened it up to privatized healthcare because there were a record number of deaths that, by the way, would not have occurred in the United States.
00:54:49.000But there is no doubt that the quality of care is not only better in the United States, but we're the only country, statistically, pretty much, that provides virtually all medical innovation.
00:55:04.000It's almost impossible to go back from.
00:55:06.000Once you switch the system over, It's really hard to build it back up to what it used to be.
00:55:10.000It's really hard to go back to a system where I can go out and pick my own insurance company, because the insurance companies kind of go away to some degree in that, right?
00:55:17.000And the hospital system starts to degrade.
00:55:20.000So if Canada right now wanted to switch everything back over to kind of a free market system, they probably couldn't do it.
00:55:59.000We don't have a discount code going right now because we're actually still backlogged with other mugs, and we're shipping those out, but you can join up.
00:59:07.000But clearly, everyone on this stage, most of them have never worked in the private sector a day in their life outside of god-lover Williamson, who wrote a wildly unsuccessful book.
00:59:17.000They all have inherently altruistic motives.
00:59:19.000So you would have to believe that every single person who works at an insurance company or a health-sharing non-profit, like we use with Liberty Healthcare, right?
00:59:26.000You would have to believe that all of them are somehow evil, but everyone on this stage and the 42 others on stage last night, because they have a D next to their name, are inherently good-hearted.
00:59:44.000As bad as insurance is, if I hate my insurance, right?
00:59:47.000All of us probably have different insurance plans.
00:59:49.000If I hate my insurance, I can go to another plan.
00:59:52.000That being said, if they are president, certainly Bernie, and certainly... I'm trying to remember who has a Medicare for all versus universal health care versus public options.
01:00:51.000And if not, you can just blare it from your headphones and I can probably hear them there.
01:00:55.000I want to hear what Butt Gig is saying because that'll be a good segue.
01:00:59.000And we do ourselves no favors by having 11 million undocumented people in our country be unable to access... We shouldn't have 11 million undocumented people with no pathway to citizenship.
01:02:02.000And about a half, actually no, sorry, it's three-fifths of the American economy.
01:02:06.000Let me ask you this, Dave, because you've obviously talked about former Libyan of the Young Turks and a progressive.
01:02:10.000Back when you were more, or I guess a liberal and you're more of a classical, we get it, we get it, we get it, okay?
01:02:16.000Anyone here, would there have been at any point in your life, anyone up here who you think would have really appealed to you, who you would have voted for?
01:02:22.000Well, it's funny because last night, which was such an absolute debacle and just not one interesting, remotely decent idea, you know, I tweeted out this thing like, are they banned from saying freedom or liberty or capitalism?
01:02:39.000Like, did the DNC say you just can't say that?
01:02:44.000When I was watching it last night, I really realized fully how far off the deep end these guys have gotten.
01:02:49.000I mean, out of this crew, You know, I had Yang on the show, and I think he's a pretty decent guy and has some interesting ideas.
01:02:55.000And by the way, he's against $50 minimum wage.
01:04:23.000He goes by David, anyway, as a first name, and I go by Dave, so, you know.
01:04:27.000No, I meant last name, because I found out that Pete, his husband, took his name, and so if you go and search him, his husband has a very long last name.
01:04:37.000You know, listen, this is just a room full of sorry straight guys who are wondering, how does that work?
01:04:50.000Here's the thing, you just mentioned it sort of economically, right?
01:04:52.000They want to take all of your money and take over the economy.
01:04:55.000Now, it seems to me when you became more sort of, when you left the left, you say they left you, you sort of came into it more so from a free speech angle, but it seems like you've gotten, I hate to use the word, progressively more sort of economically libertarian or conservative.
01:05:13.000I mean, if anything, that's the one thing I say I've shifted on.
01:05:15.000Most of the liberal things I believe in are the same things that I've always And if you're a true liberal, you can argue most of your liberal things, say gay marriage and legalizing weed.
01:05:24.000You can argue them from a libertarian perspective, which I think is much saner, actually.
01:05:28.000But the one place I shift on, for sure, is economics.
01:05:46.000They're not perfect, but they basically make sense.
01:05:48.000And they give you the opportunity to do what you want with your money and your life.
01:05:53.000And these guys all think, I mean, watching it right now, this endless parade, this clown car up there, like, they think that they know how to run your life better than you do.
01:06:02.000And it's like, if you had a problem, which one of these people would you really want to call?
01:06:44.000Crowder, I'm going to go eat Chinese food now.
01:06:46.000I know you think that somehow makes it gay, but it's just regular Chinese food.
01:06:49.000No, it doesn't make it gay, but you know what?
01:06:50.000It's going to be very much like this debate in that once you're done with it, 15 minutes later, you're going to want to do it all over again.
01:08:56.000They want to just let everyone be granted immunity, become American citizens, and close the books.
01:09:02.000We're saying, don't let them in in the first place.
01:09:04.000And by the way, when we're talking about people in cages, again, that goes back to Clinton and the Flores Consent Policy, which Barack Obama violated because he saw it as an incentive to discourage illegal immigration by caging kids with their parents.
01:09:14.000I want to make sure we understand this.
01:09:42.000They can't call on justice to help them if they're being robbed or if they're being exploited in some way because they're living in the shadows.
01:12:58.000How about 32-week abortions, Butt Gig, that you support?
01:13:02.000How about every senator here who voted against the infant-the-baby's-born-alive act, which just guaranteed health care to babies who were already born from surviving botched abortions?
01:13:14.000Oh, you're saying that God has a problem with rule of law, like borders?
01:13:19.000Do you think, by the way, do you think God, this is one thing that is remarkable to me, they act like there was no pragmatism in the Bible.
01:13:24.000Do you think that Jesus didn't have a basic understanding of geography, Jesus of Nazareth?
01:13:42.000Well, and by the way, I can't believe that he just called on the name of God to say, I can't believe that we would have children separated from their families.
01:15:49.000They've swapped the elitism that you saw with Hillary Clinton, right, and the big donor class, and basically the big democratic elites, and they've swapped that in not looking out for Americans in being an elitist party to illegal immigrants and non-contributors.
01:16:02.000So Americans don't I really think that a guy like Bernie Sanders wins New York and California and does horribly in swing states because of his policies.
01:16:18.000I don't think there's a lot of support for his stuff.
01:16:21.000I think a lot of the support that he's getting is just like it was last time in the primaries and that's it.
01:17:09.000This is Jim Norton, who sent in a video with the most American thing he could... Oh, first trivia is, what cigar did Bill Clinton famously use?
01:17:28.000Jim Norton right now and a quick break with the most American thing you can think of.
01:17:31.000We'll be back after this with Jon Stossel.
01:17:46.000I think my favorite thing about being an American, the quality in us that I cherish the most, is how we talk about valuing free speech while at the same time joining a social mob and targeting and trying to CANCEL!
01:19:33.000Coming up through our 4th of July break, Louder with Crowder's American History Master Class.
01:19:39.000Featuring historian David Barton, hosted by yours truly, each day we'll dive into a new topic complete with context and one-of-a-kind historical artifacts that I'll try desperately not to break.
01:19:49.000In-depth discussions on the history of the First Amendment, the Second Amendment, the Revolutionary War, and the history of the United States Navy.
01:19:56.000That's a new installment each day, all week, July 1st through 5th.
01:20:00.000Don't miss it, unless you hate America.
01:24:15.000By the way, I'm pretty sure that Nancy Pelosi, like if I had to bet my bottom dollar, she smacked him around like the pharmacist in It's a Wonderful Life with butt gig.
01:24:27.000I'm pretty sure that Nancy Pelosi at some point put rat poison in the wrong pill and Pete Buttigieg was like, I know you didn't mean to do it!
01:24:50.000I hope you are looking forward to another Democrat debate where they can try out their crazy language skills and prove to everybody that they do not in fact speak the language they're trying to speak.
01:25:00.000That was probably my favorite part from last night's debate.
01:27:39.000The other thing is, you know, I don't have a problem with Rachel Maddow moderating a Democrat debate, but if Sean Hannity moderated a Republican debate, Rachel Maddow would go bananas.
01:31:19.000I know that people are jealous of your metabolism because when you come home after work, you've talked about how you eat as much popcorn and chocolate as you want.
01:31:45.000Well, this is what happened after we watched Sabrina the Teenage Witch, and then 2020 would come on, and I remember going, oh, that's the guy who probably pisses everyone else off at the ABC halls.
01:31:56.000Now, where can people see your five-minute videos you were talking about, Jon Stossel?
01:31:59.000Where's the best place for people to see it?
01:32:06.000It's nice and concise, like the old gimme-a-break days, not the long It looks like this is some kind of homemade makeshift Raelian cult back there.
01:33:17.000Or do you think it's too early to tell, Mr. Stossel?
01:33:21.000Well, it's clearly too early to tell, and who I think is sort of irrelevant.
01:33:27.000But the best guide is not the polls, but the bettors.
01:33:31.000Because anybody can say, I think it's this person.
01:33:33.000But the people who put their money where their mouths are, if you get enough of those people, and you go to the bookies and calculate the odds. It's not
01:33:42.000perfect, but it's the most accurate predictor. And I'm just putting it up on my phone.
01:34:46.000Not only that, but I remember I made the argument at a Thanksgiving table, I can't remember which book it was in, where you were the one who introduced me to this, that someone should be allowed to sell their kidney if they want to.
01:34:55.000And I think you made the point that when you think of a kidney donor, or you think of an organ donor, the surgeon is making money, the person who's receiving the transplant is obviously benefiting from it, the only person who is not compensated in this transaction is the one who's giving up an organ.
01:35:09.000And that made me become more libertarian.
01:35:12.000Well, whatever works, because another good example, lots of people die because something like a hundred thousand people are waiting for kidneys.
01:35:21.000And we have donors who do it out of altruism, but it's not enough.
01:40:16.000So don't try and get all high and mighty when you talk about changing voting demographics when you don't believe that someone should have to present the same ID they would if they wanted to purchase this keg to vote for the leader of the free world.
01:40:25.000Or to go and check out a book in the library.
01:41:07.000I will say though, the reason I think, because John Stossel was talking about, maybe we can bring the volume up a little bit, the reason Joe Biden lost some points, this is kind of king of the hill, and everyone's going after him, not because he's at the top, but you know what?
01:41:19.000Because there's a contrast between Barack Obama and Donald Trump, and everyone knows that that's a weak spot because the country was in a much worse situation with Barack Obama's president. So by proxy they
01:41:28.000can copy-paste that onto Joe Biden. Right now he's having to defend all of
01:44:00.000It's tough to keep track of Georgia, Alabama.
01:44:03.000What he just said is, no restrictions on abortion period.
01:44:06.000Bernie Sanders believes in abortion up to nine months if it's inside the birth canal.
01:44:12.000And keep in mind, every single person on the stage who had the ability to vote, voted against the Babies Born Alive Act.
01:44:19.000Which simply would protect babies who had already survived abortions and already been born.
01:44:23.000So while they try to portray this as though the heartbeat bill is super extreme, let's be clear here.
01:44:28.000These people, many of whom receive all kinds of funding from pro-abortion organizations, Planned Parenthood themselves, pushed against any rollbacks to abortion just to 20 weeks.
01:44:37.000Every single person who could vote on this, on this stage, supports abortion up until the moment of birth, and in many cases, after.
01:44:45.000After birth, if they've survived an attempted abortion.
01:44:48.000So let's be clear about who the extremist is here.
01:45:00.000Yeah, at a parking lot that turned out not to be the thing.
01:45:02.000If you're upset about people having migrant children being kept in cages, quote unquote, you better be pissed off about a child being born and left on a table to die.
01:48:26.000So middle class people will be hit by things like the Paris Accord more than anyone else in this country.
01:48:31.000We're talking about the billionaire class.
01:48:32.000But guess who's going to be hit more than American middle class?
01:48:35.000People in third world countries who have to work an entire month just so they can have enough fuel to hopefully cook a can of beans over an ironing board, put over a barrel garbage can fire.
01:48:49.000It would cost trillions of dollars and scientists, hold on we need to go back to science because that's what she said, scientists have even come out and said this won't solve the problem even if everybody does every single thing that we've said to do.
01:51:25.000The toxic landfill that's created from solar, how do you think they get these unbelievably expensive rare materials, the mining that they do?
01:51:48.000Now I'm distracted because my dog is just adorable.
01:51:52.000Hey buddy, I know you love the United States, but the problem is they're going to say you're a white supremacist.
01:51:56.000Look, you don't want to watch the movie Chernobyl, the series Chernobyl on HBO and think that tells you everything that you need to know about nuclear.
01:52:02.000Go to a country that actually does it and implements it and does it safely and does it effectively.
01:52:23.000Lots and lots and lots and lots of people die.
01:52:25.000There's a number, I think, that you're going to be able to pull up, a statistic that shows that a lot more people die from the other things.
01:53:21.000And there are plants that can actually recycle part of that waste and reuse it.
01:53:24.000So they cut down big time on the waste.
01:53:25.000And if you're worried about Chernobyl saying that thousands and thousands of people died or were affected by it, they were, but guess what?
01:53:31.000No, no, there were not thousands of people who died.
01:53:35.000There were less than a hundred attributable to the actual explosion, but afterwards there were thousands of people that had their lives cut short.
01:56:59.000Mr. Yang, I'd pass a $1,000 freedom dividend for every American adult starting at age 18, which would speed us up on climate change, because if you get the boot off of people's throats, they'll focus on climate change.
01:58:58.000While we could destroy any other culture or country on the face of the earth, America Does not, has not, and will not, because we have made a moral obligation to help, and to continue to help.
01:59:13.000And at the end, that's really who we are.
02:01:17.000Then you take You take meat, like cow, from the old world, and then you take tomatoes and peppers from the new world, you know, like South America, the Andes, wherever.
02:01:28.000Then you take cheese, which they say started in Turkey, but don't tell the Swiss that, and don't tell the French that either!
02:01:34.000Oh my God, I don't want to start a cheese war.
02:01:36.000Either way, put it all together, wrap it in a flour or corn tortilla, and you got yourself a Mexican burrito.

02:05:31.000I mean, come on, you're looking at a guy who immigrated from Holland to the United States with his family to live the American dream and I'm doing it.
02:05:37.000Listen, I'm even making a video right now for one of the greatest shows in America.
02:05:42.000Too bad I can't watch football because that's pretty American, right?
02:06:30.000If you want this content to continue, because, you know, Vox wants us gone.
02:06:35.000And so the Young Turks, after we just crossed 4 million, they know by the time, by the time we get to September, October, we're coming for you Armenian genocide!
02:06:44.000What else was I, was I about to mention anything else?
02:09:52.000By the way, people who are listening, you do have to tune in your television or another YouTube tab to the NBC debates because they will remove us if we run it full screen.
02:09:59.000So people who are complaining like, we can't hear it, that's because we can't play it for you.
02:10:05.000But I do want to hear what they have to say.
02:10:07.000...another one of these down the line.
02:10:08.000And this is what this question is, which is, you're likely going to have to reset a relationship between America and another country or entity if you become president because... Entity.
02:10:21.000Marianne Williamson's like, I had an encounter once.
02:10:23.000Because the relationship we have right now is too strong.
02:13:03.000I understand you need some medics and some chefs, but if we were to only pull back our combat troops, we're kind of hanging some IT guys out to dry.

02:15:48.000The most American thing is my California mug, my flag pins, my hat,
02:15:53.000having the autograph of the 45th president of the United States, sleeping under an American flag.
02:15:59.000Having the Holy Bible, the Constitution, and the Pocket Constitution.
02:16:03.000Having a Ronald Reagan autograph, a flag wallet, the Capitol, the Supreme Court, the Statue of Liberty, and Saturn V. Having a flag to place the National Anthem.
02:16:15.000Now that's the most American thing out there.
02:16:20.000Well, it would be the most American thing out there if you had the right mug.
02:21:04.000You know, it's almost like Consultant said, you know, I like Hillary Clinton, but she's too authentic, she's not scripted enough, and she's too likable.
02:21:11.000Our rights are under attack like never before.
02:21:13.000And that's the problem with Republicans who want to repeal...
02:27:28.000That does matter, because it tells you what they believe to be the American ideal, and it also tells you what they believe to be their voting base ideal.
02:27:35.000It assumes, Donald Trump assumes that people believe in themselves.
02:27:39.000It assumes that America is successful, that people understand this is the most successful nation in the world.
02:27:43.000Right now, tonight, They couldn't even pivot.
02:27:45.000They had to act as though the middle class is shrinking.
02:27:48.000They had to act as though unemployment is at record high.
02:27:51.000They had to act as though the economy isn't working.
02:27:53.000They had to act as though we weren't safer than we were before.
02:27:56.000They have to act as though everyone out there is downtrodden, incapable, and helpless.
02:28:01.000Because they require that of you to be elected.
02:28:05.000Democrats can only be elected if your life sucks.
02:28:08.000When people's lives are going well, When the American dream, or certainly when people feel at least and believe that the American dream is alive and well, Republicans tend to win.
02:28:16.000When they think that they need a leg up, they vote for Democrats.
02:28:18.000Right now we have a rip-roaring economy that's the best that our generation has ever seen, and it amazed me because I thought, well, maybe we'll have to come in and sort of explain it away, right?
02:28:26.000So we have some prep here for them trying to explain it away, you know, saying that Americans are working four jobs, which also isn't true.
02:28:32.000So I had some of these talking points that I assumed they would use Yeah.
02:28:36.000and address the economic prosperity that we're facing.
02:28:38.000Instead, they just said the economy sucks. They just said, right everybody, isn't this
02:28:44.000And I think that that is going to come across as really tone-deaf with most
02:28:49.000Americans. But let me know what you think. Comment below. I'm so grateful that it
02:28:53.000has not been removed tonight. G. Morgan Jr., Quarter Black Garrett, thank you so much.

02:31:01.000Folks, my favorite thing about American culture is we're the only country in the world that counts chasing the American dream as exercise, where you can go into the same building for a big gulp and a dialysis machine.
