Dave Landau fills in for Joe Rogan, and the guys discuss the death of Karl Marx, crypto-currencies, the moon landing, and more. Plus, a new song from the band Tootsie Rollers.
00:02:04.000And it was so potent, along with the marijuana cigarette that he was smoking and blowing in my face, and I started dry heaving like Alex Jones at the Bumpiss Mites.
00:02:15.000I think tomorrow we're going to be running that.
00:02:17.000It's just talking with people at Roe v. Wade, seeing what they know, on the streets, unedited.
00:02:21.000Kind of like it changed my mind, only it's not sitting down at a table.
00:02:24.000Just let people run with it and see what they believe.
00:02:27.000Spoiler alert, most people don't really know what the Roe v. Wade thing is.
00:02:31.000But today we're going to be talking about a lot, specifically Karl Marx communism, because of Ron DeSantis in Florida, honoring the deaths of the hundreds of millions of people who've died under communism.
00:02:40.000And my question to you before we move on is, you know, how's your portfolio looking today?
00:02:54.000I'm not anti-crypto, but I'll talk about it.
00:02:55.000We'll talk about, obviously, there's been a big crypto crash.
00:02:57.000It's just, I think it's a very volatile, it's really a volatile commodity, and it's not necessarily the safest hedge against inflation, as you're seeing right now.
00:03:04.000And I think sometimes people sell it as something that it isn't necessarily.
00:04:49.000Before any of them were famous, you have Tom Cruise, you have Emilio Estevez, you have Ralph Macchio, Rob Lowe, Patrick Swayze, Diane Lane, This is before any of them were famous.
00:05:01.000I don't know who cast that film, but they should cast all films from here on out.
00:05:05.000Okay, before I move on to anything else, no one is happier about us seeing women treated with a greater level of fairness in today's society than us here.
00:07:54.000And, hey, by the way, really quickly before we move on, Walther, you know, is the official firearm sponsor of Live with Crowder Studios.
00:07:59.000Let me do this so it's not one of those rust situations.
00:08:01.000This is, for people who wonder what I carry, this is the The Walther Patriot.
00:08:05.000It is very, this is expensive because it's custom made, but now the new PDP that you guys can buy, they put in the same slide serrations, the super train slide serrations, and it now has this same exact trigger, which if you go back and watch when I was shooting...
00:09:18.000I think that's Johnny Boy bringing in some coffee here today.
00:09:21.000I have no problem with you investing in crypto.
00:09:24.000My problem is just like when people sell gold and tell you that it's a sure thing and it's a hedge against inflation.
00:09:29.000It's something that is incredibly volatile and I've seen a lot of people get screwed because they've taken money out of their portfolio and just said, I'm putting it all in crypto because someone on the dark web told them to.
00:12:01.000Monday's Financial Stability Report, the Federal Reserve said, Elevated and persistent inflation coupled with a sharp rise in interest rates are among the greatest near-term risks to the U.S.
00:12:13.000Okay, so that's the Federal Reserve, and I really don't like them.
00:12:17.000Inflation is expected to stay at over 8% in April.
00:12:21.000If you use the same indicators we used under Carter, it could be as high as 14% because we decided, well, we'll just change some of the metrics that we use.
00:12:36.000When people talk about taxing the wealthy or more, and they say, Republicans don't want tax, they don't want tax breaks for the middle class, that's actually, first off, that's just factually incorrect.
00:12:44.000Second, look, If you are talking about taxing the rich more, printing more money, more government programs, more government spending, it inevitably leads to more inflation.
00:12:53.000And if your wages are not outpacing inflation, that is a tax on you, the middle class.
00:13:20.000And of course, because of the increased interest rates, unemployment is expected to go up.
00:13:25.000That's also something that we're looking at here in the near future.
00:13:27.000We have that overlay from the Wall Street Journal.
00:13:29.000So, in no small part due to the crappy economy, the good news is that Democrats are on track to get blown out in November.
00:13:36.000That's why they want to make it a Roe v. Wade thing and lie to you and say that Republicans want to ban abortion and they want to put their hands on your uterus or something like that.
00:13:42.000In a generic ballot, Republicans are leading Democrats.
00:14:51.000But the left wants to use it not only to gin up riots, the left wants to use it to intimidate you into silence, and the left wants to make a certain percentage of the population believe that if Republicans win, they're going to take your rights away.
00:16:04.000Take that off of the table, have that conversation with your friends and family, eliminate that issue, and then you get back to the economy, then you get back to where we are on the international stage, and it's not even close.
00:16:16.000Yeah, very few people even believe the nine-month thing.
00:16:19.000When I've told them that, I'm like, no, I'm telling you, it's nine months.
00:16:25.000Democrats can't put a limitation because half of their base believes in that.
00:16:29.000When we spoke with people yesterday and you spoke with the hardline Democrats and we brought out a fetal chart and said, look, just tell me where the line is.
00:16:35.000They said, I don't believe in any limitations.
00:16:36.000You're like the one crying with a name?
00:16:42.000And the hardline Democrats, and you'll see them, the feminists, the people who are really aggressive, the guy who looks exactly like he smelled, you'll see this tomorrow, you'll see we have a few installments, they said no limitations at all.
00:16:53.000And they said they would be mad if Democrats agreed to any limitations.
00:16:56.000So that's 50% of the Democrat voting base.
00:17:00.000They try and say the Republican Party is controlled by the extremist wing because they believe in no limitations on constitutional carry.
00:17:06.000Is it more extreme to believe that someone should have the right to carry a handgun?
00:17:10.000Or, to believe that you should be able to have an abortion all the way up until nine months and including birth, because that's half of the Democratic Party.
00:17:16.000It's why no Democrat on the national stage will, will firmly state where there should be limitations on abortion, because they can't.
00:17:25.000They are beholden to those extremists.
00:17:27.000Remove the Roe v. Wade issue from the table, just requires a little bit of education.
00:17:58.000They were drawing coat hangers in the street.
00:18:00.000I was like, do they need to be right outside of Kavanaugh's house?
00:18:03.000That's CNN going, here's where he lives!
00:18:06.000So now these people march over to Alito's and they've been harassing him based on the leaked opinion, which of course doesn't bother the left at all even though it's a serious crime, of Roe v. Wade.
00:18:15.000Here are the kind and peaceful protesters.
00:23:11.000Again, because I think what is happening here and what we think is happening here is there is an effort to distract from what the actual issue here, which is the fundamental rights I don't think they're at the same level.
00:23:22.000We don't think they're at the same level.
00:23:24.000So they're not at the same level, but would you agree that it's still worthy of condemnation?
00:23:27.000Well, look, I think there has been a call for an investigation by leaders of the Supreme Court.
00:23:32.000Decisions on that and how it will be perceived will be made by the Department of Justice and others.
00:23:36.000And that's certainly their space and right to make that decision in government.
00:23:41.000But at the same time, what we've also seen, Peter, is many Republicans who are trying to overturn a woman's fundamental rights try to make this about the leak.
00:23:51.000This is about women's health care and women having access to health care and making choices with their doctors.
00:23:56.000Now, I had my suspicions, and I was wondering why they were... I didn't know exactly why, but we've confirmed why she is, in fact, so protective of the leak.
00:24:05.000This is right up their... This is right up their alley.
00:24:30.000This is, to be fair, that was from a week ago.
00:24:34.000So, I'm sure she's strongly condemned the leak since seeing the reaction, the violent protests, right?
00:24:38.000She must, she's condemned it strongly since then?
00:24:41.000Does the President plan to condemn the leak of the Supreme Court draft opinion or the doxing of the justices now that we've seen violence unfold?
00:24:51.000Well, I would say that we have been clear, and the President's position has long been, that we should not see protest that takes the form of violence, that takes the form of vandalism, and that threatens anyone.
00:25:03.000That has long been his position for his entire career and continues to be his position.
00:25:08.000Oh, okay, so she's still a turquoise piece of shit.
00:25:10.000And why is she wearing the same outfit?
00:25:12.000You don't wear turquoise on a turquoise background.
00:25:15.000Also, Kamala Harris said they should keep rioting, they should continue it.
00:25:17.000So again, you've set, there's a precedence and a precedent, we can use both, we can apply them here, of you guys encouraging rioting, and now we're seeing it happen as the direct result from your lies.
00:25:27.000They've asked you to condemn it twice, and you haven't.
00:25:29.000You say, well, I think I can point to the record.
00:27:20.000This disclosure is not just an attack on America's foreign policy interests.
00:27:27.000It is an attack on the international community, the alliances and partnerships, the conversations and negotiations that safeguard global security and advance economic prosperity.
00:28:39.000Now, I know she probably meant figuratively, but that's the benefit of the doubt that's not given to, you know, for example, Donald Trump, the sitting president who was removed from all social media platforms.
00:31:03.000So let's contrast Junkin, who's a poofy boy, with Ron DeSantis, who just announced November 7th as Victims of Communism Day.
00:31:14.000Today, I am signing HB 395, which will officially designate November 7th
00:31:21.000as Victims of Communism Day to honor the more than 100 million people
00:31:27.000who have fallen victim to communist regimes across the world.
00:31:31.000Now here's the thing, people will say, why is he doing this? This is political grandstanding.
00:31:39.000For the same reason I'm about to read you some letters from Karl Marx here, which, trigger warning, you're not going to like what Karl Marx believed.
00:31:45.000It's that you need to draw attention to the fact that communism has killed hundreds of millions of people.
00:31:51.000And the next dumbass who tells you that religion is the cause of all wars, just tally up the communism death count, which is a distinctly atheist and racist idea.
00:32:00.000Religion is not the cause of all wars.
00:32:02.000People wanting other people's crap is the cause of all wars.
00:32:06.000Whether it's Native American tribes who were warring, whether it's, you can go back to the Roman Empire, Greeks.
00:32:31.000Attention needs to be drawn to that because for some reason your professors and the kids who always have their hand up in your class and talk about the capitalist system, man, like Helen Keller.
00:32:44.000Did you know that Helen Keller is complete and total bullshit?
00:32:47.000Right now you can Google Helen Keller socialism and read socialist screeds from Helen Keller that just so happen to be the exact verbatim What would you buy if you were even Helen Keller?
00:33:25.000But this is something we've been talking about for a long time, and I do recommend you go and watch Jordan Peterson's two-hour takedown of communism.
00:33:34.000Something was rotten in the state of Denmark.
00:33:36.000Malcolm Muggeridge went over to the Soviet Union to check out how the collectivization of the farms was going, and he found out it was actually pretty murderous.
00:33:45.000Right, because what the Communists did was round up all the successful farmers and rape them and kill them and steal everything they had and send them off to Siberia.
00:33:53.000Which turned out actually to be a pretty bad idea.
00:33:56.000Well, he says things that are just horrible and he's like, which turned out to actually be a pretty bad idea.
00:34:00.000That's what I love about his voice there.
00:34:02.000You know, when you think, take into account the running over people with tanks and the hundreds of millions of people who were executed, all the facets that make up the variables, not cool, man!
00:35:02.000They were pissed off at him, they wanted to cancel him, so they found addiction.
00:35:06.000Isn't that a nice shitty thing to hold somebody down for?
00:35:08.000Isn't it the left who also talks about when we're at a school shooting and stuff and we sometimes talk about mental health but then it's used against people?
00:35:14.000Also sort of like Johnny Depp right now in the trial.
00:35:51.000And by the way, let me talk about Karl Marx a little bit, because a lot of people, since they're bringing awareness to communism, I think we should get to the founder of the feast, Karl Marx.
00:35:58.000Now, I've discussed Karl Marx's writings that you probably had to read in college where someone says it's beautiful in theory.
00:36:05.000But today I want to get into his His personal views that you didn't find in some of the official papers or the books that had been written, which were also far more offensive.
00:36:14.000And I want to sort of juxtapose that with the idea that we're canceling historical figures, whether it's Jefferson, whether it's Washington, now it's Abraham Lincoln.
00:36:20.000So before we get to that, I would recommend you go and watch a few years ago, I did a 20, 20-something minute video specifically on Karl Marx, Life Under Communism.
00:36:30.000In a true free enterprise system, that corruption is mitigated by the concept of competition.
00:36:36.000Now, invariably, when that corruption does occur, repeatedly and systematically, as you see with big banks, big energy, big unions, they can only do so when abetted by big.
00:37:20.000As seen with every communist regime ever, it leads to massive death and totalitarianism every time.
00:37:27.000Okay, so we know about the results, right, the ripple effect of Marx, and then people say, well, Marx, and there's Lenin, and I'm a Marxist, but I'm not a Leninist, and whatever, I don't care.
00:37:37.000Anywhere communism has been tried, it just exclusively death follows.
00:37:41.000And that's the difference when people say, well, some people have died under the capitalist system.
00:37:45.000And they try and tally up everyone who's died from obesity, heart disease, starvation, whatever, over the course of time, as opposed to the direct result of communist policies leading to the death of people, if not just including the actual death marches that had taken place.
00:38:01.000But let's also point to here the hypocrisy, not just the effect of communism, Of cancelling historical figures here in the United States.
00:38:09.000Let me ask you, I'd love to see a comment.
00:38:12.000Have any of you seen, on your college campus, or anywhere in your community, the demand that any type of Karl Marx, whether it be his books, in some places they have statues, they have a little head, you know, on the desk, that's how you know you're important when it's a bronze head.
00:42:07.000Is this enough to pull any of his beautiful in theory?
00:42:09.000Because I don't hear people saying, oh Abraham Lincoln, or George Washington, Thomas Jefferson was beautiful in theory where they wanted to free their slaves upon their death and they believed in them.
00:42:16.000But, you know, it took them a while to get there.
00:42:18.000No, they just removed the statues, they called them racist, they called them white supremacists.
00:42:22.000But they say it still is really beautiful in theory what Karl Marx believed in.
00:42:25.000Well, let's see what he believed in, in addition to the writing which created the ripple effect and led to hundreds of millions of people.
00:42:50.000Because I need to label them with something, because I have the Jews are tricky, I'll get to the blacks here in a second in my 1862 letter to Engels, so it's sort of really more of a bridge, I just said Mexicans are lazy, that's what's lazy on my part.
00:43:14.000So this is from his 1862 letter to Engels.
00:43:18.000It is now absolutely clear to me that, as both the shape of his head and his hair texture shows, he descends from the Negroes, who joined Moses' flight from Egypt, unless his mother or grandmother on the paternal side hybridized Visa, and I'm going to not whitewash this, hybridized Visa Niga.
00:43:39.000Now this combination of German-ness and Jewish-ness with a primarily Negro substance necessarily creates a strange product.
00:44:21.000That's why we have the Che Guevara shirt mocking him.
00:44:24.000Do you know what he said about black people?
00:44:26.000This is the thing that people sort of, they try and say, far right-wing Nazis, far left-wing communists.
00:44:29.000No, no, it's actually really very similar, because for communism to work, they believed that you had to have a society of people who would work, and so it was very puritanical as far as race, and so it was, we need to eliminate this race, we need to eliminate these hucksters, we need to eliminate these liars.
00:44:56.000If you look at actual neo-Nazi groups, and they're very, very few and far between, despite what the media tells you, they believe in socialized healthcare.
00:45:03.000They believe in all sorts of social safety nets and welfare benefits.
00:45:06.000They just believe that it would only work if you got rid of the Mexicans and blacks.
00:46:03.000This is the issue is, if you go back again to the founder of the feast, like we talk about with Islam, are there plenty of great Moderate Muslims.
00:48:08.000Because it's a self-rating system of people saying, yeah, I think my health care is pretty good.
00:48:12.000That's because they don't know anything else.
00:48:14.000Is there an example that doesn't suck with communism or socialism?
00:48:18.000And this is why it's important for people like, just like I said, educate people on Roe v. Wade.
00:48:22.000Ron DeSantis is doing this to make sure that people are aware, because guess what?
00:48:26.000How do you counterbalance, when people say, how do you counterbalance what's going on in college, all these institutions that have been infiltrated?
00:50:20.000We're supposed to have him in ten minutes, see if he can come earlier, but we have some chats, too.
00:50:25.000Okay, well bring us some of the guys in there, bring us some from breaking news, because we don't often have guests, so right now we're just, we hit everything I needed to say about communism.
00:50:32.000Let me know if there's something happening right now in the news.
00:50:34.000CNN is talking about Finland and Sweden being on the verge of joining NATO.
00:51:18.000It's the United States funding the security for the rest of the world.
00:51:22.000When people from Canada, and I was raised in Canada, and it's a shitty place with a shitty Prime Minister, and I wish it was not a shitty place, when they brag about their social safety net and their free health care and insert whatever other free crap there, okay, let's change one variable.
00:51:37.000Okay, Europe, when you bitch about the United States and how we're this world superpower evil blah blah blah blah blah blah blah, yeah, how about you just back pay into net?
00:51:46.000Just pay what you're supposed to pay into net.
00:54:22.000And they're sitting there like, can you believe $300 billion and all sitting there before a committee and they're like, THIS IS TOO MUCH MONEY!
00:54:29.000They're like, please, how much do you want us to print?
00:54:55.000Do you realize how much we're spending?
00:54:57.000I just had someone, this'll come up tomorrow, again, the guy who smelled exactly like he looked, saying, we haven't spent, you know, for example, the United States, we don't spend anything on helping people who are poor.
00:55:08.000And I said, we've spent, hold on a second, we've spent trillions of dollars on the war on poverty.
00:55:20.000Can we agree then that the government clearly isn't spending the money correctly?
00:55:24.000Because if you believe that Elon Musk can solve world hunger with $40 billion, you should certainly be able to solve American poverty with a few trillion dollars if throwing money at it worked!
00:57:56.000Are you glad that you get to keep the beard since you're not, you know, technically... Did you have to shave when you were kind of there, you know?
00:58:04.000Not in office, but part of... You know what I mean.
00:58:07.000No, I think I've had the beard pretty much since my father went into office.
00:58:09.000I think when he wasn't in our corporate offices every day, it sort of gave me a little bit, he's a little bit old school that way, you know, coat and tie and clean shaven and not really my style.
00:58:20.000But, uh, you know, once he went down to Washington, D.C.
00:58:23.000and I was in New York, I just sort of went, uh, free reign.
00:58:36.000Let me ask you, okay, so before we get, I mean, we can talk about whatever you want to discuss here, Don, but I'm sure you probably have some opinions.
00:58:42.000The leak from the Supreme Court here, if you have to wager, do you think it's a liberal or do you think it's a conservative source that leaked it?
00:58:50.000Well, I'm watching the liberals say it's definitely a conservative.
00:58:53.000I'm not sure what it does for them right now to do this, you know, with the disaster that is the Joe Biden slash Democrat policy that's affecting our country right now.
00:59:03.000You know, they have to do something, I guess, to to get their base to turn out.
00:59:08.000And I guess killing babies is is that thing.
00:59:10.000I mean, they have nothing else to campaign on.
01:00:31.000And my conversations with black people were very, now they were Democrat, they initially considered themselves pro-choice, and by the end of the conversation they're saying, okay, I understand it.
01:00:42.000And it's funny because you mentioned this where I asked a black person here, well it was in downtown Dallas, we drove all the way out there, and I said, have you heard that men can get pregnant too?
01:00:51.000And her reaction was just, she went, she did this, she went, I heard that shit!
01:00:58.000And it seems to me that the reason you see these gains with Latinos and with blacks is because they're the moderate wing of the Democratic Party today.
01:01:47.000And so I think, you know, that's why, you know, I think my father's presidency and his involvement in this was so important because it showed other conservatives, like, you know, you don't just have to, like, roll over.
01:02:08.000And, uh, you know, I think that's so fundamentally important to everything that we're doing for, you know, for conservatism to even, uh, be around for a few more generations, because at the rate it was going, it wouldn't have been, uh, because, you know, we made a, we, we made a living out of just losing, uh, and giving up and being like, well, we took the principled approach while they laughed their asses off to the bank each and every time.
01:02:31.000And so it hasn't worked, but, uh, I'm seeing the Democrats do sort of the opposite on that end, and they're pushing away their traditional base, and that's because that traditional base is actually understanding what today's Democrat Party is actually all about.
01:02:48.000What do you think is the most pivotal issue here, you know, going into midterms and then into 2024?
01:02:53.000Having experience with this, and a lot of issues are up in the air, right?
01:02:56.000They try and bring in COVID and they try and bring in Ukraine and then Roe v. Wade, but we just looked at the generic Republican ballot versus Democrats on economic issues.
01:03:04.000What do you think should be the focus?
01:03:05.000Or honestly, not just the focus politically, what do you think is the most important issue facing our country?
01:03:10.000Listen, it's got to be the economy, Steven.
01:03:12.000Like, nothing else matters without that, right?
01:03:16.000Now, we all know the number is actually much higher than that, right?
01:03:20.000They're talking about adjusting the numbers, and they're going to look at it a little bit differently because it's double digits.
01:03:24.000It's probably pushing 25%, but we can't actually say that.
01:03:27.000Because then no one will actually vote for the Democrats.
01:03:29.000So, you know, it's always the economy.
01:03:31.000Like all the blessings that we have, all the, you know, it comes from having a robust economy.
01:03:36.000All the craziness that even the Democrats want to do.
01:03:38.000Like, you know, I guess when you can't feed yourself, you know, it's a little harder to argue about the, you know, innate details of the trans agenda.
01:03:46.000Like it's, It's a little bit, you know, it's all based on that.
01:03:49.000There's other things that are important.
01:03:50.000You know, you don't have baby formula, but, you know, Congress is voting today on spending, you know, $40 billion to help Ukraine so that we can be in a proxy war with Russia.
01:03:59.000I mean, you know, what could possibly go wrong?
01:04:02.000There's no logical reason to some of these decisions anymore, right?
01:04:06.000You talk about, you know, Joe Biden, he's going to tackle inflation.
01:04:08.000He's doing a wonderful job tackling inflation.
01:04:10.000He's like, let's just send, let's print some more money and then we'll send it to a corrupt country like the Ukraine.
01:04:17.000Now, I understand that, you know, Bono and you two are performing there, so that makes everything fine and make it worse.
01:04:22.000They're totally not a corrupt nation, right?
01:04:27.000Like, you know, the notion of, like, they're not even pretending to put, like, American citizens first, even their own base, even the radical wing.
01:05:52.000I was going to say, why do you think so few people have seen it?
01:05:56.000Because when your dad was in office, I mean, I imagine that there's a point where you were at first go, well, this is very gratifying to see how horribly this went.
01:06:04.000But it's got to be at the point where now it's just got to be disgusting to you to see how bad of a job Biden is doing.
01:06:29.000Like, we'll shut down American energy.
01:06:32.000But like, let's, let's negotiate with Iran.
01:06:35.000And Venezuela to get our energy needs, because we need to get it from somewhere, but we won't negotiate with the people of Texas or Oklahoma or Pennsylvania or Ohio, where they actually produce this stuff ourselves.
01:06:51.000I have two questions for you, because you just mentioned the woke thing.
01:06:54.000Look, you and your dad, your family, generally speaking, you were, you know, more, you were conservative and somewhat socially liberal.
01:06:59.000I remember you saying that to a degree.
01:07:01.000But now you also just mentioned the wokeness.
01:07:03.000Have you run out of rope there where you're like, I'm kind of socially liberal, but now when we have, you know, a man with fake tits breastfeeding a kid, you're like, this is not the gay marriage thing in California.
01:07:17.000Well, I don't know that I was ever socially liberal.
01:07:19.000That's not me, but I get where you're going with it.
01:07:23.000Yes, I think there was a time, you know, growing up in New York City where, you know, and working there and being in my 20s there and, you know, spending that time there that I could have those conversations with my Democrat friends and perhaps even argue their standpoint better than they could.
01:07:39.000And hey, no, no, if you're going to argue that point, like, at least maybe try it this way or articulate it this way.
01:07:43.000And oh, yeah, like, I can't even have a conversation with these people anymore.
01:07:47.000Like, they don't even, they can't even articulate their points because once they get going,
01:07:51.000they like stop to think for a second and they're like, yeah, that's lunacy. Like,
01:07:56.000it doesn't make sense, right? The science isn't actually science. We know that science is about
01:08:02.000backing up a narrative that no longer makes sense. And so we pretended science, you know,
01:08:07.000math is racist. It doesn't work anymore.
01:08:11.000And so, like, I understand a time where I could actually communicate with people that had exactly the opposite political, you know, viewpoint that I always had growing up.
01:08:21.000And like, you could have a conversation and you could argue it out.
01:08:24.000But like the the spread, you know, the bid ask is just so far these days.
01:08:30.000And when I look at, you know, the mainstream parts of the Democrat platform, like None of it has to do with issues that actually affect
01:08:54.000That's what it is with the Democrat Party right now.
01:08:56.000I think they're losing those people now, too.
01:09:01.000There was a component where it was like, you were cool, you know, and you're talking in your Lululemon pants, picking up your kid at school.
01:09:08.000And you could be like, you know, you're woke.
01:09:12.000But like, now you look at what it means.
01:09:14.000And like, these people, I mean, they're They're literally voting against the interest and the future of their own children at this point, you know?
01:09:23.000Where are the soccer moms that go there and sit there for hours watching kids chase a ball, that try to get into college now when dudes are gonna be taking their kid's scholarship?
01:10:49.000Oh, it was, day one it was, like I actually, because I did a post about it, and I stopped It was like 87,000 on day one, 120,000 day two, 130-something thousand day three.
01:10:56.000It was close to a million people in a week.
01:11:27.000Because you know, you obviously work with Truth Social, but I heard, you know, obviously your dad's statements that, hey, Elon's a good guy.
01:11:32.000Is this sort of like friendly competition?
01:11:36.000Yeah, listen, hey, listen, I actually believe this stuff, Steven.
01:11:39.000Like, I've been out there sort of, I promise you, like, if there's one thing it would have been much easier for me to do would be to shut the fuck up and just be a business guy from New York City.
01:11:49.000Like, I promise you, there's no real upside to me being out there, being sort of an outspoken conservative, you know, fighting these battles.
01:11:57.000I just had to do it because I actually believe in this shit.
01:11:59.000Like, you know, I have five young kids I want growing up in a country that, like, I recognize.
01:12:04.000And that's not the path of the other side right now.
01:12:08.000So, again, with the stuff that shows me doing well with conservatives, it's like, well,
01:12:14.000because maybe there's so few of us that actually have the balls to step up and say these
01:12:21.000I hope we have a much deeper, you know, bench.
01:12:25.000And I can assure you that we'd actually see real change if it's not just like Donald Trump, Donald Trump and Stephen Crowder, Donald Trump and Donald Trump Jr.
01:12:33.000with Stephen Crowder, you know, three guys.
01:12:35.000Five guys, ten guys going out there, you know, it's easy to channel all the fire on those people, to cancel them and all that stuff.
01:12:41.000I mean, we are up against, you know, we're not in a fair fight.
01:12:44.000But if you get, you know, all 150 million, you know, conservative, let's take half the country and divide it, and there's probably many more independents with what the left is doing, you know, coming over.
01:12:54.000If those people become unafraid, like, there's no question.
01:12:58.000Elections, based on what we are up against, should be like 99.9 to .01.
01:13:04.000You know, when you think about what we're up against, when you talk about the entire force of mainstream media,
01:13:10.000the entire force of big tech and everything that's out there,
01:13:34.000Watching them lose their minds that the notion that they may be competing on a level playing field is truly remarkable.
01:13:42.000I'm watching these guys like, imagine this, like someone could maybe turn up the volume on one side and turn down, like, like, welcome to my world for the last 70 years like what are you talking about?
01:13:54.000They don't even know that it's going on because they're just really happy having sort of an artificial win
01:14:00.000Presented to them every step of the way the second like you actually challenge that they lose their minds
01:14:07.000It's it's special to watch so I'm you know, I'm happy for anything that does it
01:14:11.000I hope you know, I hope people can do the same thing with Facebook and with other platforms that you know
01:14:36.000That's like when we do our live shows, me and Dave, we'll do a venue and it'll be like a couple thousand people, and a huge portion of them are there with Mugs, their Mug Club, where we still get a good amount of viewers, but not nearly what we get across all the platforms like YouTube and Rumble, but they're a really, really engaged audience, and a very supportive audience, and very good people, and so there's value to both, right?
01:14:56.000Casting a wide net, and then having the people who also, you know, it's almost the pay it forward.
01:15:00.000Those are the people who take your message and move it forward.
01:15:02.000My final question before we go to Mug Club.
01:15:04.000Because I have twins now, so when I'm trying to teach them how to speak, they're really young.
01:15:07.000When your dad taught you how to speak, did he teach you doing this?
01:15:12.000Because everyone in the family does this.
