00:00:00.000 *music* What does overpaying on your taxes feel like?
00:00:11.000 *music* About like that.
00:00:20.000 Don't let the IRS bust your balls.
00:00:22.000 Visit tnusa.com slash Crowder or call 1-800-958-1000 for immediate relief and expert guidance.
00:00:32.000 Ooh.
00:00:33.000 Oh, gosh, why did you do that?
00:00:37.000 We'll be right back.
00:01:07.000 We'll be right back.
00:01:19.000 Yeah.
00:01:19.000 Bye.
00:01:20.000 That's the theme of the show today.
00:01:23.000 Speakers are afraid.
00:01:23.000 Okay, good.
00:01:24.000 Whoa, hold on a second.
00:01:25.000 This guy on CNN just crawled out of a sewer.
00:01:30.000 It's like Macaulay Culkin's older brother.
00:01:33.000 Yeah, yes.
00:01:34.000 He looks like Macaulay Culkin had a baby with splinter.
00:01:39.000 Propaganda is a theme of today because you know Joy Reid was fired and that's fun and funny.
00:01:45.000 But the freak out of the left.
00:01:47.000 That this show was of value.
00:01:49.000 And it's a microcosm.
00:01:50.000 We'll get to Rachel Maddow.
00:01:52.000 We'll get to people talking about it.
00:01:52.000 We'll get to Don Lemon.
00:01:54.000 You have what the left...
00:01:56.000 Tell me my left or your right.
00:01:57.000 So should I do...
00:01:58.000 You shouldn't worry about it.
00:01:59.000 Okay.
00:02:00.000 My left or your right.
00:02:00.000 You have the left and then you have reality.
00:02:03.000 And that's really the fracture that we are seeing right now in this country.
00:02:09.000 Is that reductive?
00:02:10.000 Sure.
00:02:11.000 Do you agree with it?
00:02:12.000 Before I explain it, comment below.
00:02:13.000 Do you agree with that?
00:02:14.000 The left...
00:02:16.000 And reality.
00:02:18.000 The left, virtue signal.
00:02:21.000 Until our last dying breath.
00:02:23.000 Males and female sports.
00:02:25.000 Reality, the vast majority of Americans think you're out of your mind.
00:02:28.000 The left, these are great government employees, but we can't slash...
00:02:31.000 The reality, all-time low as far as American trust in their institutions.
00:02:37.000 The left, racist.
00:02:39.000 The right, crime statistical realities.
00:02:42.000 You have been the experiment.
00:02:46.000 Of a multi-decade long propaganda war in this country.
00:02:51.000 And the left now is freaking out.
00:02:53.000 What you are seeing is a manifestation.
00:02:55.000 You're simply seeing the symptoms of the left realizing that it's not working.
00:03:01.000 That's what's happened.
00:03:02.000 Whether it's Hegseth, whether it's Bongino, whether it's Patel, whether it's RFK Jr., or it's Joy Reid being fired, or it's banning Twizzlers from Snap.
00:03:11.000 We really are at a point in this country.
00:03:14.000 It's the left versus reality, and we're going to lay out the top five examples of that.
00:03:18.000 We're also going to talk about the SAG Awards, Den Crenshaw Boulevard, and the potential governorship of Vivek.
00:03:28.000 So there's a lot going on.
00:03:30.000 If at some point today there will be some Indian jokes because we're talking about Vivek, you may see this on YouTube.
00:03:37.000 Head on over to Rumble and watch.
00:03:38.000 It's a weekday show, 10 a.m.
00:03:39.000 Eastern, and those of you who watch on YouTube comment, Have you downloaded the Rumble app?
00:03:45.000 You can download it on your TV, on your phone.
00:03:48.000 We're going to stop streaming to YouTube at some point.
00:03:51.000 Some point this year, we've told you, if you're still a diehard YouTuber, my question to you is, my God, why?
00:03:56.000 And how does it feel to suck?
00:04:02.000 Captain Morgan, good to see you.
00:04:04.000 Good to see you, too.
00:04:04.000 I'm glad to hear that your doctor's appointment went well.
00:04:06.000 It did.
00:04:06.000 Good blood pressure.
00:04:07.000 Well, you stayed longer than you had to.
00:04:08.000 It was a proctologist and Josh Feierstein.
00:04:11.000 Was the doctor.
00:04:12.000 Look at you.
00:04:14.000 I knew I recognized that beard.
00:04:16.000 I recognize it from watching Shogun.
00:04:18.000 They all have beards like this.
00:04:20.000 It's a good show.
00:04:21.000 I aboil him to see what it feels like to die.
00:04:24.000 Yes.
00:04:27.000 That guy's my favorite character.
00:04:28.000 It's a godless culture that doesn't value human life.
00:04:31.000 Let's go.
00:04:34.000 Really quickly, so we're going to do a whole segment on the left versus reality, but that includes Joy Reid.
00:04:39.000 Have you guys seen this, though?
00:04:40.000 Don Lemon reacted to this.
00:04:42.000 And again, you have to remember, I know you maybe knew.
00:04:45.000 Do you know this?
00:04:45.000 Don Lemon had, my God, a show on CNN. Think of that propaganda.
00:04:52.000 CNN tried to convince you that anyone on Earth actually wanted to watch Don Lemon in primetime.
00:04:59.000 Yeah.
00:05:01.000 That's what we lived.
00:05:02.000 And now he has gone full bore insane in regards to Megyn Kelly having made comments on Joy Reid that are very accurate.
00:05:14.000 And Don Lemon, it's almost like a house cat being out in the wild with no claws.
00:05:20.000 Like he doesn't realize if you just throw out the accusation of racism, homophobia, transphobia, but you don't have the protection of Turner Broadcasting, it doesn't work and it ends badly.
00:05:30.000 But here he is trying anyway.
00:05:31.000 Joy Reid is a woman.
00:05:32.000 Megyn Kelly is a woman.
00:05:33.000 She's supposed to be all about women.
00:05:35.000 You know, supports women.
00:05:36.000 Okay, so this is what she said.
00:05:38.000 Remember when Joy Reid laughingly mocked white women tears as pathetic and offensive to her?
00:05:43.000 Who's crying now, Joy?
00:05:45.000 Good riddance to the absolute worst person on television and shame on NBC for letting it go on this long.
00:05:52.000 And she has a, you know, she is an axe to grind when it comes to MSNBC and also, you know, this whole, she's racist, right?
00:06:01.000 I'm going to give you the evidence.
00:06:02.000 Pause!
00:06:03.000 Hey, Don, I don't know if you know how this works, Mr. Lemon Party, but online, you actually do have to give the evidence.
00:06:11.000 But you won't.
00:06:11.000 Let's continue.
00:06:14.000 Supposedly learned from and then spent every day after apologizing for it and being fired for it, then spent every day proving the point that she is a racist.
00:06:22.000 Show it.
00:06:23.000 No, Megyn Kelly.
00:06:26.000 The worst person on television was fired from NBC and the Today Show.
00:06:33.000 A few years ago, and that's Megyn Kelly.
00:06:35.000 Let me just say to Megyn Kelly, in my 30-some years as a journalist, in my 50-some years as a person of color, go f*** yourself.
00:06:44.000 Okay?
00:06:45.000 Well, that would do better on OnlyFans than if you...
00:06:48.000 Does he not know his own age?
00:06:50.000 Is he wearing a 50-something year...
00:06:52.000 Is he wearing a velour black hoodie?
00:06:54.000 It might.
00:06:55.000 I don't know.
00:06:57.000 Yeah!
00:07:02.000 He's like, run DP me, now!
00:07:09.000 I don't have to provide...
00:07:09.000 This is the issue, right?
00:07:10.000 These people come and they start swimming in these waters.
00:07:13.000 Don, you don't have the protection of a network with you.
00:07:14.000 Let me tell you how this works.
00:07:15.000 You have to provide evidence.
00:07:16.000 You have to provide value.
00:07:17.000 I get that you're trying to do the whole social drama for clout.
00:07:19.000 It's new to you.
00:07:21.000 But if you don't have any receipts, this doesn't go really well for you.
00:07:24.000 And I don't know if you've been looking at the polling coming from the American public.
00:07:27.000 They're done.
00:07:29.000 They're done with your claims.
00:07:30.000 They're done with the accusations of racism and homophobia.
00:07:34.000 What they do is they actually circulate.
00:07:37.000 They create these propaganda campaigns.
00:07:39.000 People in media wanted you to believe that Megyn Kelly was racist.
00:07:42.000 Right?
00:07:43.000 So they campaigned with that.
00:07:45.000 They created an entire campaign to make you believe that she was racist and then hang that on your neck going, see, see, everyone knows you're racist.
00:07:51.000 No, no, no.
00:07:52.000 You made up that lie.
00:07:54.000 I don't know if you remember.
00:07:55.000 The reason that Megyn Kelly was fired was for the oh-so-racist comment that she made regarding being effectively a fan of Diana Ross.
00:08:04.000 We have the clip.
00:08:05.000 There was a controversy on the Real Housewives of New York with Luann, and she dresses Diana Ross, and she made her skin look darker than it really is, and people said that that was racist.
00:08:15.000 And I don't know, I felt like, who doesn't love Diana Ross?
00:08:18.000 She wants to look like Diana Ross for one day.
00:08:20.000 I don't know how, like, that got racist on Halloween.
00:08:23.000 It's not like she's walking around in general.
00:08:24.000 I have not seen it.
00:08:26.000 That was it?
00:08:29.000 Call her Mrs. David Duke.
00:08:31.000 Jeez.
00:08:32.000 And this is the thing.
00:08:32.000 You have people out there who believe that Megyn Kelly is...
00:08:34.000 I know what you're thinking.
00:08:36.000 There must have been something else.
00:08:37.000 Nope!
00:08:38.000 That's the statement.
00:08:39.000 Comment below.
00:08:40.000 You may like Megyn Kelly.
00:08:41.000 You may not like Megyn Kelly.
00:08:42.000 She's been a friend to the show.
00:08:44.000 I agree with her on a lot.
00:08:44.000 I disagree with her on some.
00:08:46.000 But to say that she's racist, that's what got her fired.
00:08:52.000 Wow.
00:08:53.000 Well, Don Lemon's whole premise to his argument was, hey, their genitals are the same.
00:08:57.000 They should be friends.
00:08:58.000 Yes.
00:08:58.000 That's literally how he started that clip.
00:09:00.000 Right.
00:09:01.000 Yeah, exactly.
00:09:02.000 Well, that's how you view sex life, so.
00:09:03.000 Yes.
00:09:05.000 Just mashing.
00:09:07.000 My son with his Tonka trucks.
00:09:09.000 All right.
00:09:11.000 I don't think this ends well for Donald.
00:09:13.000 Poor guy.
00:09:13.000 He goes from CNN. He goes from CNN to then have a show.
00:09:16.000 He had a show on X. For like half a minute.
00:09:19.000 Poor guy.
00:09:19.000 Nah, dude.
00:09:20.000 He's got money and he's been spewing this propaganda for years.
00:09:23.000 Nah, poor guy.
00:09:24.000 He's been spewing something.
00:09:24.000 Screw him.
00:09:25.000 He tried to sell a book.
00:09:26.000 Tried to sell a book.
00:09:27.000 And then he does the man in the street stuff.
00:09:28.000 And I've never seen a man.
00:09:30.000 Who does his own man-on-the-street interviews get owned by unsuspecting subjects and then think that it's a wise decision to upload it himself?
00:09:41.000 Yeah, that's the worst part.
00:09:42.000 You keep that to yourself.
00:09:44.000 Yeah, you keep it to yourself.
00:09:45.000 Learn from it, move on.
00:09:46.000 I mean, it's always, you know, we were sort of performing without a net when we did things like Change My Minds.
00:09:51.000 We're like, well, we sit, barring trolls who sit down and, you know, start screaming something insane.
00:09:56.000 We're like, we upload it, unedited.
00:09:57.000 That's the rule.
00:09:59.000 It's tough to do, but he does edit, and he still uploads them.
00:10:04.000 Guys, can we bring that?
00:10:04.000 Let's bring up a highlight later on of Don Lemon's greatest owns of man on the street.
00:10:08.000 It's just so much fun.
00:10:10.000 Something else here while we're talking about this.
00:10:13.000 Can we move?
00:10:14.000 Okay, good.
00:10:16.000 Yeah, Lemon's old news.
00:10:17.000 Mr. Representative Dan Crenshaw.
00:10:19.000 Now, full disclosure, he's been on the show.
00:10:21.000 Okay.
00:10:22.000 Been on the show quite a bit.
00:10:23.000 We've been friendly.
00:10:23.000 All right.
00:10:25.000 And I think this is being somewhat overblown.
00:10:28.000 But I also think that people who are a little bit tired of Mr. Crenshaw have good reason to be because he's not showing the telltale signs of a man with great wisdom.
00:10:42.000 So here's how the story started.
00:10:44.000 I believe someone who was interviewing him at CPAC said Dan Crenshaw said that he would kill Tucker Carlson.
00:10:50.000 And then Marjorie Taylor Greene, who's never met drama she didn't like, circulated and said that you made a threat to Tucker Carlson.
00:10:55.000 Now, Dan Crenshaw didn't make a threat to Tucker Carlson.
00:10:57.000 He said something.
00:10:58.000 Fine.
00:10:59.000 But he outright denied it.
00:11:01.000 And then there's a clip.
00:11:03.000 Now, it's not just that there's a clip.
00:11:04.000 It's that there's a clip of Dan Crenshaw saying this while he knows he's on camera, taking off his mic.
00:11:10.000 And seems to double down.
00:11:12.000 Like, people have said, how many times they're like, ah, I could kill you, Gerald!
00:11:14.000 You know?
00:11:14.000 Or you're like, ah, I could kill Josh, right?
00:11:16.000 Or you say, ah, I can't believe you did this, so I could kill you.
00:11:20.000 Whatever.
00:11:21.000 But to double down, when you know there was just a blinking red light, so it's likely still a blinking red light, like, no, no, no.
00:11:28.000 I mean it.
00:11:29.000 I'm serious.
00:11:31.000 It just seems to me ill-advised.
00:11:35.000 But you watch the clip and judge for yourself.
00:11:37.000 Thank you.
00:11:39.000 Have you ever met Tom?
00:11:40.000 We've talked a lot.
00:11:43.000 If I ever meet him, I'd kill him.
00:11:47.000 No.
00:11:48.000 He's the worst person.
00:11:49.000 So I hear if I ever meet him, I would kill him.
00:11:52.000 Yes.
00:11:53.000 He's the worst person, something, something.
00:11:54.000 Effing kill him, I think.
00:11:55.000 He said definitely kill him?
00:11:56.000 Effing.
00:11:56.000 I would effing kill him.
00:11:57.000 I think he was effing.
00:11:58.000 Yeah.
00:11:58.000 I could be wrong.
00:11:59.000 It doesn't seem to me like a person who's particularly stable.
00:12:01.000 Now, we invited him on the show.
00:12:03.000 Tucker Carlson responded to him.
00:12:05.000 Hey, if you want to host it in neutral territory.
00:12:09.000 It's quite dumb.
00:12:11.000 Assume the mic is hot.
00:12:13.000 And by the way, don't deny it.
00:12:15.000 Look, let's say I were to say, I don't know, if someone caught me in a hot mic saying like, oh boy, I'd really, you know, figuratively like to bitch slap Don Lemon.
00:12:23.000 And it got out there, okay?
00:12:24.000 You confront me about it.
00:12:25.000 Go ahead, ask me, Gerald.
00:12:26.000 Stephen, did you say that you would figuratively like to bitch slap Don Lemon?
00:12:30.000 Yeah.
00:12:33.000 Yeah.
00:12:34.000 Okay.
00:12:34.000 Like, for real?
00:12:37.000 Maybe.
00:12:38.000 Just do that!
00:12:41.000 Just own it!
00:12:42.000 Who cares?
00:12:43.000 And you know what's worse, though, to me, is anyone out there acting like you've never said, oh, I could kill this person, or oh, I want to kill this person.
00:12:48.000 Do you think he was actually threatening Tucker Carlson?
00:12:51.000 No, no.
00:12:51.000 Does he always have the tough guy act and try and rest on his military laurels?
00:12:54.000 Yeah, absolutely.
00:12:54.000 He came on this show, started mocking me for being able to deadlift more than me.
00:12:59.000 Will you kill me where I stand?
00:13:01.000 I don't know.
00:13:02.000 Give it a shot!
00:13:04.000 Could happen!
00:13:06.000 Yeah, I think he's just, he's hurt.
00:13:09.000 Yes.
00:13:09.000 You know, he's hurt.
00:13:10.000 Something Tucker did.
00:13:11.000 I don't know the whole drama situation.
00:13:13.000 You mean because of his bad positions on a lot of issues?
00:13:15.000 I think.
00:13:16.000 Maybe it's because he looks better in a vest.
00:13:18.000 I don't know why he's dressed like he's playing Clue.
00:13:23.000 I will kill, I'll kill Tucker Carlson with this candelabra!
00:13:27.000 In the study.
00:13:28.000 Yes.
00:13:28.000 But he doesn't mean it.
00:13:30.000 He just means, yeah, I hate that guy and I would like to fight him.
00:13:33.000 Yeah.
00:13:33.000 But sometimes it doesn't come out like that because you get emotional or you're mad.
00:13:36.000 Somebody asks you a question you weren't ready for and you go, yeah, I can kill him.
00:13:39.000 Like yelling at a teenage girl, which he's also...
00:13:41.000 It just doesn't really...
00:13:42.000 He doesn't seem like...
00:13:43.000 You should just come out and say that, though.
00:13:44.000 Yeah.
00:13:44.000 Like, yeah, yeah, I don't like it.
00:13:45.000 Yeah, no, I don't like that.
00:13:47.000 Yeah, I said that.
00:13:47.000 I didn't mean I'm not going to actually kill him.
00:13:49.000 Obviously, I'm a senator.
00:13:51.000 He's the...
00:13:51.000 Come on.
00:13:52.000 I just mean, like, I'll challenge him to a fight.
00:13:54.000 Right.
00:13:55.000 Or a duel.
00:13:56.000 Yes.
00:13:56.000 In Texas.
00:13:57.000 Mutual combat.
00:13:58.000 There you go.
00:13:59.000 My money would be on Dan Crenshaw if there was an actual fight.
00:14:02.000 That doesn't go well for Tucker Carlson.
00:14:05.000 I prefer Tucker Carlson as a host, probably in this argument of ideas generally.
00:14:10.000 I don't agree with either of them.
00:14:12.000 But as far as a physical fight, if I were a betting man, I'd bet on Crenshaw.
00:14:19.000 I bet I'm a Navy SEAL with one eye.
00:14:21.000 Yeah, I would too.
00:14:22.000 I mean, you don't know.
00:14:24.000 Maybe Tucker could be really evasive.
00:14:26.000 He could be like a Pernell Whitaker, right?
00:14:27.000 Because you know that Crenshaw doesn't have the depth perception.
00:14:30.000 You'd think there's five of me, Crenshaw.
00:14:32.000 I can't!
00:14:37.000 SAG Awards!
00:14:42.000 Last night, Jane Fonda used her acceptance speech at the Screen Actors Guild.
00:14:48.000 To fearmonger against Trump's America, SAG. No.
00:14:57.000 Here's a clip.
00:14:58.000 And by the way, again, remember, Jane Fonda, a very long time ago, you have been the experiment.
00:15:03.000 You've been subject to decades-long propaganda.
00:15:07.000 You're just finding out about it now.
00:15:09.000 Welcome.
00:15:10.000 The water is warm.
00:15:11.000 And we'll get to Jane Fonda's past for those of you who don't know.
00:15:13.000 Make no mistake, empathy is not weak or woke.
00:15:17.000 And by the way, woke just means you give a damn about other people.
00:15:20.000 Back to empathy.
00:15:22.000 A whole lot of people are going to be really hurt by what is happening, what is coming our way.
00:15:31.000 And even if they're of a different political persuasion, we need to call upon our empathy and not judge.
00:15:41.000 Hey, you're about to give its last beat.
00:15:46.000 I had a big tent when I watched those workout tapes in the 90s.
00:15:53.000 Oh, I've never slept in a tent.
00:15:56.000 Oh, watch this.
00:15:57.000 like apartheid or our civil rights movement or Stonewall, and asked yourself, would you have been brave enough to walk the bridge?
00:16:06.000 Would you have been able to take the hoses and the batons and the dogs?
00:16:12.000 Would you have been brave enough to walk the bridge?
00:16:14.000 We don't have to wonder anymore.
00:16:16.000 Who is she talking to?
00:16:18.000 Because we are in our documentary moment.
00:16:21.000 This is it.
00:16:23.000 And it's not a rehearsal.
00:16:26.000 The hoses, the dogs, the batons?
00:16:28.000 I don't know.
00:16:28.000 Would you, Jane?
00:16:29.000 Let's try it out.
00:16:29.000 You feel like a piece of pie at the local diner, bitch?
00:16:33.000 Give up a slice.
00:16:34.000 Nobody agrees with her there.
00:16:36.000 People are kind of nodding like, what is she talking about?
00:16:38.000 I think we have to clap.
00:16:40.000 Look, it's been propaganda for a long time.
00:16:43.000 I'm sorry.
00:16:44.000 Comparing the actual plight of an entire race of people who did face systemic discrimination because of an immutable characteristic, the melanin level in their skin, is not the same.
00:16:54.000 It's not comparable as...
00:16:57.000 Property sharing to people of a different preference of friction.
00:17:00.000 It's not the same as biological males wanting to beat the shit out of women in their own sports.
00:17:07.000 It's propaganda.
00:17:08.000 It's been propaganda for a long time.
00:17:10.000 You're just seeing it now because it's so absurd.
00:17:13.000 The left, this idea of progress, it's progress for progress's sake.
00:17:17.000 There's no value backbone.
00:17:19.000 That's why first principles do matter.
00:17:21.000 It does matter.
00:17:22.000 People who say I take issues on an individual basis all the time, that's a fool.
00:17:26.000 That's a fool.
00:17:26.000 That's a fool's errand if you don't have an ism, if you don't have a worldview.
00:17:30.000 The left doesn't have any kind of a moral framework, and so it's progress for the sake of progress.
00:17:35.000 And so now they're at the point where they...
00:17:38.000 Does anyone out there...
00:17:39.000 Let's say that you're socially liberal.
00:17:41.000 Do you believe that today's trans movement, LGBTQAAIP +, no joke, movement, is comparable to the Civil Rights Act?
00:17:53.000 Does anyone actually believe it?
00:17:55.000 Yeah, I'm brave enough to walk across the bridge because they're not hosing anybody down.
00:17:59.000 Yes, exactly.
00:18:00.000 Yeah.
00:18:00.000 They're not burning down buildings, entire streets.
00:18:03.000 Yeah.
00:18:04.000 They're not arresting people for being trans.
00:18:07.000 They believe their job is, and we'll get to government workers, is virtue signaling.
00:18:11.000 Yeah.
00:18:11.000 This is not a dress rehearsal!
00:18:14.000 How much was your dress?
00:18:17.000 While you're helping the downtrodden, the poor, right?
00:18:21.000 You're alleviating their plight.
00:18:23.000 What are you doing?
00:18:23.000 That's kind of the quiet part out loud, right?
00:18:26.000 Right.
00:18:26.000 It's not a dress rehearsal.
00:18:27.000 This is the real fake scenario that we're filming.
00:18:32.000 This is the real movie.
00:18:33.000 Yeah, exactly.
00:18:34.000 This is the real propaganda video.
00:18:36.000 I tell you, hurt is coming our way because everyone is going to be allowed to speak freely.
00:18:43.000 More women will be allowed to defend themselves with firearms.
00:18:47.000 There will be more opportunities for women in sports.
00:18:51.000 How about the women that are being hurt?
00:18:53.000 The last four years.
00:18:55.000 Yeah, exactly.
00:18:56.000 I don't think they're ever going to make a documentary about a man who could go take a dump in a women's restroom because he put on a wig and a muumuu.
00:19:01.000 I really don't think there's any character out there that's going to be played in 20 years.
00:19:06.000 June 13th is The Mustache.
00:19:09.000 It'd be a fun movie trailer.
00:19:11.000 Dropped a deuce.
00:19:12.000 And by the way, for those of you who don't know Hanoi Jane, she's called Hanoi Jane.
00:19:17.000 She was nicknamed that, I believe, by Rush Limbaugh.
00:19:18.000 She earned that nickname because she was pushing propaganda for Vietnamese Communists.
00:19:24.000 She traveled with North Vietnamese on a propaganda tour.
00:19:28.000 She posed with this North Vietnamese here, yeah, famous anti-aircraft gun.
00:19:31.000 She denounced American imperialism and she said, actually, you know, if you see what they're doing, their conditions are great.
00:19:36.000 They're actually not what the United States propagandists want you to believe, right?
00:19:41.000 That big thing was the Hilton.
00:19:42.000 It was referred to as the Hanoi Hilton because there were people saying, oh, it's propaganda.
00:19:46.000 Just so you know, American soldiers, and by the way, plenty of Vietnamese people, We're treated to these conditions at the Hanoi Hilton.
00:19:54.000 I believe that we have some pictures right here.
00:19:57.000 Yeah, there's an actual video out there right now of the Hanoi Hilton.
00:20:00.000 They were shackled.
00:20:01.000 They had metal bars that were rammed down their throats during interrogation.
00:20:05.000 That was just a dress rehearsal.
00:20:06.000 Right, yeah, it's just a dress rehearsal.
00:20:07.000 Yes.
00:20:08.000 And she called tortured prisoners back then hypocrites and liars.
00:20:13.000 And today she's telling you, same person, She's over the hill so it's easy to dismiss her.
00:20:18.000 What I'm telling you is she was an A-lister back then and people believed her.
00:20:22.000 Enough people believed her that they were spitting on American troops when they came home.
00:20:26.000 Your opinions on Vietnam do not matter.
00:20:28.000 The good news is very few Americans believe the celebrities now because they're pushing the same propaganda.
00:20:33.000 There's no such thing as male and female.
00:20:35.000 There are countless genders.
00:20:37.000 Hunter Biden laptop not real.
00:20:40.000 Donald Trump fascist.
00:20:42.000 Conservatives racist.
00:20:44.000 Right?
00:20:44.000 They're pushing the same exact thing.
00:20:46.000 Propaganda.
00:20:47.000 And by the way, the reason we're able to talk about this is because of Rumble.
00:20:51.000 We don't make a dime off of YouTube because YouTube favors people like the Lemons, like the Colbert's, like the Fonda's, and it's $99 annually.
00:21:00.000 Rumble Premium is Mug Club.
00:21:02.000 Mug Club is Rumble Premium, or you can try it for $9.99 a month, 100% more show, the entire catalog, and download the app.
00:21:08.000 there are more people watching youtube right now on tv than on their um devices and the rumble app is great you can install it on your device you can cast it or on your tv i highly recommend it rumble we own live it's time to cut the cord to youtube i guess just cancel youtube anything there's no cords i don't think there's no cords to cut yeah no you're good you seem trying to think there could be what you have zero f's i don't care i guess i'm at this point I love it.
00:21:36.000 You're like irritated.
00:21:38.000 There's a part of you that goes like, oh, they're trying to trust something else.
00:21:40.000 I mean, Megyn Kelly is racist.
00:21:41.000 You know what?
00:21:42.000 Hey, look, if someone trusts something else or if someone says I said something racist or sexist or homophobic, it's probably me.
00:21:47.000 I think we're just annoyed, man.
00:21:49.000 I'm tired of getting reached at by people who are, for lack of better words, less than me.
00:21:55.000 Yeah, exactly.
00:21:57.000 Well, you got money and you were on a show for years and years and years.
00:22:00.000 You think that makes you somebody?
00:22:02.000 Right.
00:22:02.000 You think that makes your opinion worth more?
00:22:04.000 Especially when it's cropped up.
00:22:06.000 It wasn't built from the ground up.
00:22:07.000 When they say woke is empathy, no, woke is ruining people's lives and ending their livelihoods.
00:22:13.000 Do you have any idea how many children?
00:22:15.000 I don't actually know the number, by the way, just so you understand.
00:22:18.000 This isn't like a rhetorical question where I know the answer.
00:22:20.000 I don't.
00:22:22.000 How many children were then thrust into poverty because one of their parents lost their job because of a tweet?
00:22:29.000 Or because of an opinion that you may disagree with.
00:22:32.000 The woke mob ended livelihoods.
00:22:34.000 And we need to stop separating your life from your livelihood.
00:22:40.000 Wars were fought for less.
00:22:42.000 Wars were fought over plots of land because it could be farmed.
00:22:46.000 The woke mob, the woke brigade, is not empathetic.
00:22:51.000 We use the term cancel culture.
00:22:53.000 People use that term.
00:22:54.000 I don't use it a whole lot.
00:22:54.000 You are ending someone's livelihood and you're doing it through means that you know are dishonest.
00:22:59.000 It's not empathy.
00:23:01.000 Because even if you thought it was empathy, you don't.
00:23:05.000 Let me prove to you that you don't.
00:23:06.000 How many black people do you think you saved by canceling Megyn Kelly?
00:23:10.000 Now I know Megyn Kelly had a big fat contract and a golden parachute so you don't feel bad for her and she's doing really well.
00:23:14.000 What about the guy who's working At a local franchise and he's a shift manager and someone has an axe to grind.
00:23:20.000 So they say that he's racist and he loses his job.
00:23:24.000 That's happened countless times.
00:23:26.000 Let me ask you this.
00:23:26.000 How many black people does that help?
00:23:29.000 How many trans people?
00:23:30.000 Hey, how many trans people are helped by the fact that Hooters has to declare bankruptcy because some crazy gender-bending moron decided to sue them because they were too fat to put on orange shorts?
00:23:42.000 Who does it actually help your empathy?
00:23:45.000 A penis looks good in those shorts, though.
00:23:47.000 It does.
00:23:48.000 It does.
00:23:49.000 It's snug.
00:23:52.000 Looks good to me.
00:23:54.000 No!
00:23:54.000 It's like a security blanket.
00:23:55.000 I won't let you say that.
00:23:57.000 It's like, are you wearing a cup?
00:23:58.000 Oh, wow.
00:23:59.000 No.
00:24:00.000 That's all Crowder.
00:24:02.000 No!
00:24:03.000 Right at table height?
00:24:05.000 Yes, no.
00:24:06.000 It's a cup.
00:24:07.000 It's a cup.
00:24:08.000 If there was no cup, frankly, I could...
00:24:11.000 I could put on some, I could bolt some on and then pass for a woman.
00:24:13.000 Yes, I'll take the sausage.
00:24:16.000 Actually, in my case, I'd be like, baked beans.
00:24:22.000 Hard-boiled egg?
00:24:23.000 Soft-boiled.
00:24:25.000 They serve boiled eggs.
00:24:27.000 I have no idea.
00:24:28.000 So gross.
00:24:30.000 It's a game.
00:24:31.000 No, I go to Hooters for pickled eggs.
00:24:34.000 It's called Peckers.
00:24:37.000 All right.
00:24:38.000 Here's the bulk here.
00:24:40.000 Some kids call this a deep dive.
00:24:42.000 Let's unpack.
00:24:43.000 We've always called these meat segments.
00:24:44.000 All the references are publicly available.
00:24:48.000 Because there's meat on the bones.
00:24:50.000 We're going to use something current as a springboard, but again, I want to lay out the case that what you are dealing with right now is the left diametrically opposed to reality.
00:24:59.000 I don't know where their own belief of their propaganda, because it's been so long...
00:25:04.000 I don't know where that stops and the new propaganda begins.
00:25:07.000 Because people pushing the propaganda know that it's not true.
00:25:10.000 And there's certainly quite a bit of that.
00:25:13.000 But then when the new generation comes in, they sort of believe the propaganda because they didn't play a role in crafting it.
00:25:20.000 So that's a question that I have for you.
00:25:22.000 I don't know the answer.
00:25:24.000 I just know that there is a lot of propaganda right now that people are weaving and they know that it's false.
00:25:32.000 Okay, so yesterday we did a time to close for Joy Reid, but she had one more rant in store for us.
00:25:46.000 I've been through every emotion from, you know, anger, rage, disappointment, hurt, you know, feeling that, you know, guilt, you know, that I let my team lose their jobs.
00:26:01.000 But in the end, where I really land.
00:26:04.000 For reference, here's a video of her half-brother figuring out where to land.
00:26:08.000 It's 2025 there, too.
00:26:25.000 Let's continue with Joy Reid.
00:26:27.000 Really land and where I've landed on today is just gratitude.
00:26:33.000 Just pure gratitude.
00:26:36.000 But also that my show had value.
00:26:39.000 And that...
00:26:41.000 Are those tears of gratitude?
00:26:46.000 That what I was doing had value.
00:26:50.000 Had value.
00:26:51.000 And in the end, I'm sorry, I try not to cry on TV. This is kind of like me on TV, so I apologize.
00:26:57.000 And then it mattered.
00:27:00.000 Okay.
00:27:01.000 In case you guys have forgotten, this is the same person talking about it.
00:27:03.000 It had value and can't believe it from a show that was propped up.
00:27:06.000 It had no value.
00:27:07.000 We'll get to the numbers.
00:27:08.000 Just last month, Reid was laughing at conservatives for thinking they were censored.
00:27:13.000 This is the same person.
00:27:15.000 Why would conservatives think fact-checking is biased against them?
00:27:21.000 I mean, what are you sharing if you keep getting fact-checked?
00:27:26.000 For false information.
00:27:29.000 Think about it.
00:27:31.000 What were conservatives sharing on Meta that was getting flagged so much?
00:27:36.000 Hunter Biden laptop?
00:27:37.000 Are they spreading?
00:27:38.000 Full hair.
00:27:38.000 COVID. False information.
00:27:42.000 And why were they so eager?
00:27:44.000 And why are Republicans in general so eager to end the idea of fact-checking?
00:27:50.000 What are they trying to share?
00:27:52.000 What is the motivation for not wanting it?
00:27:55.000 To be fact-checked.
00:27:57.000 Just something to think about while you're noodling things.
00:28:02.000 What do they want to share?
00:28:03.000 Well, we'll get to your ratings and we'll share those.
00:28:06.000 No, that's her value.
00:28:08.000 Yeah, exactly.
00:28:09.000 She does have, you say zero value, but her show did have value.
00:28:12.000 Yeah.
00:28:13.000 And it was in the negative.
00:28:14.000 Yes, it was in the negative.
00:28:16.000 Below zero.
00:28:17.000 Value.
00:28:18.000 These people say, freedom of speech does not mean freedom of reach.
00:28:21.000 So they support the throttling, shadow banning, and removal of conservatives who have actually built something from the ground up.
00:28:27.000 Think about it.
00:28:28.000 People like Joy Reid.
00:28:29.000 People like Rachel Maddow.
00:28:30.000 Would forbid you right now from tuning in and watching this of your own volition, but they feel slighted when a giant network was propped them up because they're a valuable propaganda tool to said network.
00:28:42.000 They think that's a slight because they feel so entitled to be on broadcast television.
00:28:47.000 You don't have the right to watch this.
00:28:49.000 They have the right to that airtime.
00:28:51.000 Does that make sense?
00:28:52.000 So let's draw these comparisons for you.
00:28:55.000 Okay.
00:28:56.000 The left.
00:28:57.000 All right?
00:28:58.000 Perfect.
00:29:00.000 They will tell you, and then we'll go to reality.
00:29:02.000 Joy Reid was fired because of racism.
00:29:05.000 Where Joy Reid's show, The Readout, ended tonight.
00:29:09.000 And Joy is not taking a different job in the network.
00:29:12.000 She is leaving the network altogether.
00:29:14.000 I will tell you, it is also unnerving to see that on a network where we've got two, count them, two non-white hosts in primetime.
00:29:22.000 Who cares?
00:29:23.000 Both of our non-white hosts in primetime are losing their shows, as is Katie Fang on the weekend.
00:29:30.000 And that feels worse than bad.
00:29:32.000 Give up your spot.
00:29:33.000 No matter who replaces them.
00:29:34.000 That feels indefensible.
00:29:36.000 Well, okay, it feels indefensible.
00:29:38.000 Here's the reality.
00:29:40.000 It's defensible because last week Joy Behar averaged 59,000 viewers in the demo.
00:29:46.000 Holy cow!
00:29:48.000 Whoa!
00:29:50.000 Whoa, that's really bad.
00:29:52.000 It's down 70% from the 2024 highs?
00:29:55.000 That means her highs in the demo sucked!
00:29:59.000 Make that, plus that up by 70%.
00:30:01.000 Dude, they'd be better off showing OxyClean commercials.
00:30:03.000 Yes!
00:30:04.000 Yes, they would.
00:30:05.000 Brain Rot would perform better.
00:30:07.000 And that guy's dead!
00:30:08.000 Yeah.
00:30:09.000 Show the old ones.
00:30:09.000 Who cares?
00:30:10.000 My other thing was Billy, I don't know.
00:30:12.000 Billy Mays.
00:30:13.000 Billy Mays.
00:30:14.000 That's right.
00:30:14.000 So, it feels indefensible because they're women of color, non-white.
00:30:19.000 You're a lesbian.
00:30:20.000 Do you count?
00:30:21.000 Do you fill some kind of VDI spots?
00:30:24.000 She doesn't fill any holes.
00:30:25.000 She told on herself, no matter who they replace them with, well, what if they replace them with a black, balding woman who wears wigs all the time and Fang, I'm assuming, is Asian on the weekend.
00:30:36.000 If I'm wrong, I apologize, but with the last name of Fang, it kind of narrows it down.
00:30:39.000 What if they replace him with another Asian person?
00:30:41.000 Yeah, Wang.
00:30:42.000 Replace Fang with a Wang.
00:30:44.000 What if they replace them?
00:30:44.000 I don't understand.
00:30:45.000 What if they replaced them with another lesbian Burt Ward on HGH look-alike?
00:30:51.000 Right?
00:30:52.000 That'd be baby steps forward, wouldn't it?
00:30:54.000 Burt Ward was Robin.
00:30:55.000 I was saying that she looked forward.
00:30:56.000 If she's so upset about it, she should give up her time slot.
00:30:58.000 She should.
00:30:59.000 She absolutely should.
00:30:59.000 If she wants to put herself out there and preach to the rest of us, maybe she should take a step down and be a real virtue-signaling hero.
00:31:05.000 So their defense is worse than bad.
00:31:08.000 It's indefensible.
00:31:09.000 Because she's black?
00:31:10.000 Because she's Asian?
00:31:11.000 I mean, I get that Eric Swal will probably try and bang her, but I don't understand how that makes her a good host.
00:31:15.000 It's indefensible.
00:31:16.000 It's defensible through the ratings.
00:31:18.000 You, meaning the left, they want to make sure the people right now watching, listening, you can't do that.
00:31:22.000 Because Reuters, AP, WAPO, PolitiFact say so.
00:31:26.000 They're the fact checkers, by the way.
00:31:28.000 Also, still no word on whether Ilhan Omar banged her brother.
00:31:30.000 I'll tell you she did.
00:31:31.000 But the fact checkers say, I don't know, it's still up in the air.
00:31:34.000 They don't want you to be able to choose to tune in here.
00:31:38.000 But it's indefensible to fire someone who has potentially the worst ratings ever in cable news history.
00:31:47.000 Potentially, only because we don't have records going back far enough.
00:31:50.000 Yes.
00:31:50.000 By the way, you did say Joy Behar a minute ago instead of Joy Reid.
00:31:53.000 Admonish me.
00:31:53.000 So there needs to be an admonishment.
00:31:55.000 Admonish me.
00:31:56.000 Give it to him.
00:31:57.000 You're just manifesting.
00:31:59.000 Admonish.
00:31:59.000 Here we go.
00:32:00.000 I like it.
00:32:03.000 I don't know that...
00:32:04.000 We gotta find something else.
00:32:05.000 When you like your punishment, it makes it very ineffective.
00:32:07.000 Yeah.
00:32:08.000 I do.
00:32:09.000 Dude, I spanked my son one time and he laughed.
00:32:11.000 Oops.
00:32:12.000 I was like, I can't spank my son anymore.
00:32:14.000 No, no, that's not good.
00:32:17.000 There's a laundry list of reasons as to why that's unhealthy.
00:32:20.000 Yeah.
00:32:22.000 No.
00:32:23.000 I don't want to unpack it.
00:32:24.000 No, no, no.
00:32:25.000 Everything's fine.
00:32:26.000 We don't need to unpack it.
00:32:27.000 Now, let's move on to the next one.
00:32:31.000 Because this is just joy, read, okay?
00:32:32.000 But it's just, again, it's a symptom.
00:32:34.000 The left versus reality.
00:32:35.000 The left.
00:32:38.000 Using Rachel Maddow again.
00:32:40.000 That Donald Trump, this is the statement they were making last week.
00:32:43.000 Again, it's all about being a frontrunner, telling you, hey, hey, hey, hey, you can't support this guy.
00:32:49.000 Donald Trump, don't you know?
00:32:50.000 Everyone else, the cool kids all hate him.
00:32:53.000 He's now super unpopular.
00:32:55.000 He is unpopular.
00:32:57.000 He is historically unpopular.
00:33:00.000 Wrong.
00:33:00.000 He is the least popular president in the history of modern polling at this point in his presidency.
00:33:06.000 Della Volpe at Harvard, who's very good.
00:33:08.000 I used to think, once I saw a Harvard youth poll, I discounted it.
00:33:12.000 I've come to say it's a pretty damn good poll.
00:33:15.000 Pretty good guy.
00:33:16.000 He's going from 53 approval to under 30 to 39. That's a collapse.
00:33:22.000 Is it possible the honeymoon is ending?
00:33:24.000 Propaganda.
00:33:25.000 Because there's been four different polls that have come out recently that all show Trump.
00:33:32.000 His approval rating dropping.
00:33:34.000 Either way, let's take a look at Trump's numbers right now.
00:33:36.000 This is his net approval rating.
00:33:38.000 These are polls.
00:33:38.000 Four of them released over the last week.
00:33:40.000 And you might notice there's a lot of red on the screen and a lot of negatives.
00:33:44.000 I notice there's a big, giant, dishonest pussy on the screen.
00:33:47.000 That guy loves his screens.
00:33:49.000 Yeah, he does.
00:33:50.000 A screen and a screen and a screen.
00:33:51.000 Yeah, I have one, too, on my iPad.
00:33:53.000 There's nothing new about it.
00:33:54.000 If you notice, this red is red.
00:33:56.000 Yes, exactly.
00:33:57.000 But Gerald can't, because he's colorblind.
00:33:59.000 Oh, right.
00:33:59.000 Stop it.
00:34:00.000 So again, that's designed to...
00:34:01.000 Defeat you morally.
00:34:03.000 Here's the reality.
00:34:07.000 President Trump has surprisingly impressive ratings.
00:34:11.000 Not that it matters, not that it determines the success of a presidency, but even their argument is based on a lie.
00:34:16.000 The most recent one, the Harvard-Harris poll, has his approval rating at 52%.
00:34:19.000 Now, they cherry-pick polls.
00:34:22.000 If you look at the spread, his approval rating is still pretty damn good.
00:34:26.000 Better than in his first term, from all metrics that we have available to us.
00:34:29.000 But Harvard-Harris has actually conducted these polls for a while.
00:34:33.000 So with polls, you have to pick one that actually has some kind of a track record where you can compare apples to apples.
00:34:37.000 So this is significantly higher than it was in his first term.
00:34:40.000 Let's look at another poll.
00:34:41.000 Americans who believe that the country is moving in a positive direction.
00:34:44.000 Right now it's 42%.
00:34:45.000 That's a plus 14 increase from last month, meaning that is going up.
00:34:49.000 Here's something else they don't tell you.
00:34:50.000 President Trump, his cabinet picks, which are a reflection of his administration, obviously, also have favorable numbers in the polls.
00:34:59.000 And some of them didn't beforehand.
00:35:01.000 For example, Vance was underwater in the campaign at some points.
00:35:04.000 He's at a plus four.
00:35:04.000 RFK is at a plus nine.
00:35:06.000 Tulsi's at a plus three.
00:35:07.000 Bondi's at a plus one.
00:35:08.000 Propaganda.
00:35:11.000 That's what you're dealing with.
00:35:13.000 Joy Reid's show adds value.
00:35:15.000 Propaganda.
00:35:16.000 I'm saying lie.
00:35:17.000 Jane Fonda.
00:35:19.000 Oh, actually, it's the Americans who are liars.
00:35:23.000 Donald Trump is losing favorability.
00:35:26.000 You're alone.
00:35:27.000 You're isolated.
00:35:28.000 Propaganda.
00:35:29.000 Let's move on to the next one.
00:35:30.000 The left!
00:35:31.000 What they tell you is that, oh my God, can you believe this?
00:35:36.000 Doge Elon Musk and this administration, everyone knows this, they are targeting valuable, hard-working public servants, and it's wrong.
00:35:46.000 What does the public stand to lose with these widespread layoffs?
00:35:51.000 We are important, and we do important work.
00:35:54.000 We're impactful.
00:35:55.000 I picked diapers off the side of the road, toilet paper, beer bottles, cigarettes.
00:35:59.000 Did you eat it?
00:35:59.000 Name it so you didn't have to see it.
00:36:01.000 I served as the Chief of Safety and Emergency Management at the Philadelphia VA. I used to be a NEPA coordinator for the Wrangell Ranger District of the USDA Forest Service.
00:36:12.000 As the only aquatic ecologist at the largest reservoir in the United States, my job was mostly to monitor for water quality, for recreational uses.
00:36:20.000 He's a pool guy.
00:36:23.000 You put your dipstick in the reservoir once a week?
00:36:26.000 What?
00:36:27.000 I do this with my hot tub.
00:36:29.000 Check the pH.
00:36:31.000 $170,000 a year.
00:36:32.000 Yeah.
00:36:33.000 Well, the reason that they're worried is because they know it's not a real job and they can't use that on their resume.
00:36:37.000 Yes.
00:36:38.000 There's not another place they can go and do that work.
00:36:41.000 So they want you to believe that everyone in the country, right?
00:36:44.000 And again, this is all designed to isolate you.
00:36:47.000 You're in the minority.
00:36:48.000 People need to support their public servants.
00:36:51.000 It's the most American thing you can do.
00:36:53.000 The most American thing you can do is criticize them and not trust them, in my opinion.
00:36:56.000 But here's the reality.
00:36:58.000 You are not alone.
00:37:00.000 The average American's distrust in federal institutions, the distrust is at all-time high.
00:37:06.000 Their trust in institutions is at all-time low.
00:37:09.000 It's 28%.
00:37:11.000 Oof.
00:37:12.000 28% trust?
00:37:13.000 Yeah, 28% trust in federal institutions.
00:37:16.000 And by the way, it's terrible if you look at intelligence agencies.
00:37:20.000 You can go.
00:37:20.000 Again, references available for every single show.
00:37:22.000 I highly recommend that you peruse them so that you can admonish me.
00:37:26.000 I'll give you my private cell.
00:37:28.000 Trust in the mainstream media, legacy media, is also at an all-time low.
00:37:35.000 31%.
00:37:35.000 And I should clarify, too, trust of our institutions is at near all-time low.
00:37:40.000 Mainstream media is complete all-time low.
00:37:42.000 But at this point...
00:37:43.000 Yeah, but they got the Trump bump a little bit.
00:37:44.000 It's like, ah, thank goodness Trump is coming back into office.
00:37:47.000 And the reason the left wants it is they want to preempt.
00:37:49.000 Because they know that you are actually in the majority.
00:37:52.000 And they want you to feel like you don't have a leg to stand on.
00:37:54.000 And they want people like Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to be vilified when they reflect what you, in poll after poll, the average American know to be true, that you have no reason to trust legacy media.
00:38:05.000 media.
00:38:06.000 He handles it beautifully.
00:38:06.000 Why did you expect an underqualified, retired lieutenant general to be the next chairman of the joint?
00:38:12.000 I'm going to choose to reject your unqualified question.
00:38:18.000 Who's next?
00:38:18.000 I mean, I'm not gay.
00:38:22.000 But if I was.
00:38:24.000 He's on the exemption list.
00:38:26.000 We've got a producer here with six Emmys who yearns for him.
00:38:35.000 Yearning.
00:38:35.000 Yearning for him.
00:38:36.000 There is a burning in her loins.
00:38:39.000 It's okay.
00:38:40.000 It's natural.
00:38:41.000 Now, this is where we are.
00:38:44.000 There's the left and there's reality.
00:38:46.000 Do you guys understand that this is the sort of the dynamic that we have found ourselves in for a very, very long time?
00:38:56.000 The only new variable is that now you're Able to fact check it, which is why they want to place on a pedestal exclusive fact checkers who do their bidding.
00:39:05.000 I don't know if you know this.
00:39:07.000 You're the fact checker.
00:39:09.000 It's you.
00:39:11.000 They don't want that.
00:39:12.000 Which brings us to the next point.
00:39:14.000 The left versus reality.
00:39:18.000 This one is self-explanatory, but it unfortunately still has to be said that trans athletes Men, in women's sports, it's the civil rights issue of our time, and everyone knows it.
00:39:29.000 Later this afternoon, President Trump will sign his latest executive order targeting transgender rights, this time banning trans athletes from competing in girls and women's school sports.
00:39:40.000 MAGA, as I said, is explicitly a Nazi ideology, and they are coming after trans rights.
00:39:46.000 Trying to legislate away the trans community.
00:39:50.000 Those people deserve...
00:39:52.000 So that was a transgender cyclist and the creator of the douchey hipster starter kit.
00:39:59.000 I think that's Doc Holliday.
00:40:00.000 Or Wyatt Earp, one of the two.
00:40:02.000 I'll be your gash, Barry.
00:40:04.000 Now, handlebar mustache, and he made a point, she made a point to put the bicycle, the fixie behind them.
00:40:11.000 Like, just in case you didn't realize I was a total unlikable prick.
00:40:14.000 Yeah, oh, I also hate you on the road.
00:40:17.000 Get off my TV and get out of my lane.
00:40:21.000 Quit wagging your butt at me, you weirdo.
00:40:24.000 Why do you guys all meet up at Starbucks on Wednesday mornings?
00:40:26.000 I hate it.
00:40:27.000 Yes.
00:40:27.000 Well, I think they use third wave coffee roasters.
00:40:30.000 They would turn up their mustachioed handlebar nose at Starbucks.
00:40:35.000 Do you notice, too, with trans, and I know we have to continue with this montage because we're making the point, again, the point is that they're saying it's a trans issue of our time, but do you notice that when females become male, like trans, they're transgenders, they don't just, they never come out looking like...
00:40:46.000 Josh or Tim or Gerald.
00:40:47.000 It's always some kind of a douchebag.
00:40:50.000 It's always a hipster with handlebar mustaches.
00:40:52.000 It's always Chaz Bono with a chin-strap beard.
00:40:54.000 It's always some negative stereotype of a guy who the rest of us wouldn't want in our locker room, not because they're trans, but because they're a self-important dick.
00:41:01.000 Wallet chains and Jordans.
00:41:03.000 Yeah, exactly.
00:41:04.000 This is what guys do, right?
00:41:06.000 We wax our mustaches and we ride fixie bicycles.
00:41:09.000 The shitty ones.
00:41:10.000 Johnny Depp bracelets.
00:41:12.000 Yeah, exactly.
00:41:14.000 You chose a low-rent guy to be called?
00:41:17.000 Obsessed with truth.
00:41:19.000 Yes.
00:41:19.000 I've always believed I was a man.
00:41:22.000 Fine.
00:41:23.000 So, let's continue with the montage.
00:41:24.000 It's a right, whatever, whatever.
00:41:26.000 Those people deserve as much as the rest of us to be able to play sports.
00:41:30.000 This is part of a systematic attack by the Trump administration on transgender people.
00:41:36.000 Not just youth, but people of all ages.
00:41:40.000 Okay, trans DJ Khaled.
00:41:42.000 Basically, he worked on the HIV project as well.
00:41:45.000 It's not a project!
00:41:46.000 It's a pretty simple process!
00:41:48.000 Stop screwing, guys!
00:41:50.000 At truck stops, problem solved!
00:41:51.000 Problem solved.
00:41:52.000 Or 50 Cent Rubber.
00:41:54.000 Or taxpayer subsidize, prep bills, all that stuff.
00:41:57.000 Because, you know, you can't be held accountable for your behavior.
00:42:01.000 Here's the reality.
00:42:03.000 Americans aren't buying it.
00:42:04.000 They want to isolate you.
00:42:05.000 They want you to feel like you're some kind of a fascist, like you're some kind of a Nazi, like you're anti-trans, that you have a phobia, which I guess you get over through touch therapy if you're Eddie Murphy on a corner in Los Angeles.
00:42:16.000 Most recent New York Times poll on banning men in women's sports.
00:42:20.000 New York Times poll.
00:42:22.000 79% support it.
00:42:25.000 Including 67% of Democrats.
00:42:29.000 Wow.
00:42:29.000 The other 21% don't know how to play sports.
00:42:31.000 Yes, exactly.
00:42:33.000 And by the way, that's an upward shift.
00:42:35.000 Remember how people, again, the doomers out there.
00:42:38.000 And I've seen a lot of them because I've been around since 2008. You can go check the blue bed sheet on YouTube saying things only get worse.
00:42:44.000 We're at the worst point.
00:42:45.000 No, no, no, no, no.
00:42:46.000 Here's a swing.
00:42:48.000 Anyone who tells you this last election was about the economy, they need a CAT scan.
00:42:52.000 There's a reason that Donald Trump, Randy, Kamala is for they, them, Donald Trump is for us, because, yeah, the culture issue was a bigger one.
00:43:02.000 It was common sense.
00:43:03.000 It was what everyone knows to be true versus propaganda.
00:43:08.000 That's what this election was about.
00:43:10.000 It's not hero worship for Donald Trump.
00:43:13.000 They're basically avatars for the rest of us.
00:43:15.000 Enough Americans, 79%, said, yeah, yeah, this is too far.
00:43:19.000 This is too far.
00:43:20.000 The left is still on the side of propaganda.
00:43:22.000 It's a civil rights issue.
00:43:24.000 We are not buying it.
00:43:26.000 And I'm glad that you say that I seem like I don't have F's to give this morning, and that's true.
00:43:31.000 President Trump didn't.
00:43:32.000 We ran this yesterday, but I always want to rerun it in dealing with Maine's governor who believes that her job primarily, or her primary role, is virtue signaling.
00:43:44.000 Watch her do it.
00:43:44.000 The NCAA... Has complied immediately, by the way.
00:43:48.000 That's good.
00:43:48.000 But I understand Maine.
00:43:50.000 Is Maine here?
00:43:51.000 The governor of Maine?
00:43:53.000 Are you not going to comply with it?
00:43:56.000 I'm complying with state and federal laws.
00:43:59.000 Well, we are the federal law.
00:44:01.000 You better do it.
00:44:02.000 I am the law.
00:44:03.000 Because you're not going to get any federal funding at all if you don't.
00:44:05.000 And by the way, your population, even though it's somewhat liberal, although I did very well there, your population doesn't want men playing in women's sports.
00:44:14.000 So you better comply, because otherwise you're not getting any federal funding.
00:44:20.000 Good, I'll see you in court.
00:44:21.000 I look forward to that.
00:44:22.000 That should be a real easy one.
00:44:25.000 And enjoy your life after governor, because I don't think you'll be in elected politics.
00:44:32.000 I just love RFK. Isn't that clip just trying to look comfortable?
00:44:35.000 I didn't see him.
00:44:36.000 He's just sitting there like...
00:44:37.000 Gross, dad.
00:44:43.000 Do you need some ice for that?
00:44:47.000 Burn!
00:44:50.000 If anyone is watching from Maine, I want to know how you feel.
00:44:54.000 If you're parents or if you just got out of school, I want to know how would you feel about that?
00:44:59.000 Your governor saying she's okay with losing federal funding just so that a couple dudes can dominate the track or dominate a volleyball court?
00:45:09.000 It's worth a couple kids?
00:45:12.000 Yeah.
00:45:12.000 By the way, they can still play sports.
00:45:15.000 They just can't beat up on chicks.
00:45:18.000 Are you willing to lose federal funding for that?
00:45:20.000 It's only a handful.
00:45:22.000 Yeah, but displacement isn't only a handful.
00:45:24.000 Second is different from first, and third is different from second, and fourth is different from third.
00:45:28.000 And if you were going to be third and now you're sixth, guess what?
00:45:33.000 That changes the course of your life.
00:45:37.000 Oh, you know, as the left calls it, empathy.
00:45:39.000 Woke.
00:45:40.000 Let's go to the final one that we are dealing with right now.
00:45:43.000 And this kind of, it comes off of what we were dealing with yesterday.
00:45:46.000 It's just so funny.
00:45:47.000 Amy Klobuchar.
00:45:49.000 The left.
00:45:51.000 The propaganda.
00:45:53.000 Is that, you know, for crying out loud, this is abusive.
00:45:56.000 It's toxic masculinity.
00:45:58.000 It's patriarchy.
00:45:59.000 It's fascism.
00:46:00.000 It's, insert whatever here, it's abusive to ask workers what kind of work they're doing.
00:46:07.000 Elon Musk ordered federal employees who have been working from home to report to the office this week.
00:46:14.000 Ordered them to explain why they should have a job next week.
00:46:18.000 By giving him examples of what they accomplished last week.
00:46:21.000 He demanded five examples by midnight tonight.
00:46:24.000 The morale is, of course, abysmal right now.
00:46:27.000 We are being told we're not worth the money that is spent on us.
00:46:31.000 This is just another step in the dehumanization and harassment.
00:46:37.000 Of employees who have only worked to serve the American people.
00:46:41.000 Chris Kirkpatrick's not aging well.
00:46:43.000 Now.
00:46:43.000 I'll just say, that's the guy that women trans do.
00:46:46.000 Yes, exactly.
00:46:47.000 That's the dude.
00:46:49.000 I went into the barbershop and I said, give me these Xerxes.
00:46:53.000 Now.
00:46:54.000 That's the propaganda.
00:46:55.000 They want you to believe that you're in the minority if you think people should, you know, be held accountable for their jobs.
00:47:00.000 Here's the reality.
00:47:02.000 All references available.
00:47:03.000 And one of these references is...
00:47:05.000 Quite a bit of fun.
00:47:05.000 I highly recommend you check it out.
00:47:07.000 The Reddit Fed News, the Reddit that exists at the message board.
00:47:12.000 This is from two years ago, just so you know.
00:47:15.000 The reality is that a lot of federal workers don't do anything.
00:47:18.000 Why?
00:47:18.000 Because they've said so.
00:47:19.000 They've since gone in and deleted their posts.
00:47:21.000 So this was a question on the Reddit feed there of Fed News.
00:47:26.000 It said, how many hours do you spend a day or week working?
00:47:29.000 Here are quite a few answers.
00:47:31.000 Probably 20 to 25 a week, sometimes more, sometimes less.
00:47:34.000 How could it be less?
00:47:37.000 There's no reward for working hard and no punishment for being lazy.
00:47:41.000 New rules!
00:47:43.000 Here's another one.
00:47:44.000 I rarely hit 40 hours a week of actual work.
00:47:46.000 Most weeks, it's 20 hours a week of real work.
00:47:49.000 The other 20 are prep, reading, or thinking while staring at the screen.
00:47:53.000 Another one.
00:47:54.000 Honestly, I find it hard to not be bored.
00:47:56.000 I can finish.
00:47:57.000 All my tasks before lunch and I'm really just sitting there waiting for someone that needs help.
00:48:02.000 This was all over.
00:48:03.000 This was a message board, effectively, a form, a subreddit where people were talking about their experiences working for the federal government and they've since been wiped because those same people now want to push the propaganda.
00:48:13.000 I work so...
00:48:14.000 I work hard.
00:48:15.000 I work just as hard as anyone else and I deserve this job.
00:48:18.000 You don't deserve the job and you don't work hard.
00:48:20.000 I haven't seen a 40-hour work week since I was a teenager.
00:48:27.000 There's no way to cut, Stephen.
00:48:28.000 How dare you?
00:48:29.000 By the way, I want us to fact check this.
00:48:31.000 I think not one agency uses over 50% of the space that they have, which means that we are paying for people that are not doing their job, and we're paying for space that they don't even use.
00:48:40.000 Yeah.
00:48:41.000 Insane.
00:48:44.000 How much work do you think those 78,000, whatever the number is, plus new IRS employees are doing?
00:48:53.000 To be fair, I don't really want them to do a ton of work.
00:48:55.000 I got some things I'm trying to hide.
00:48:57.000 Right.
00:48:57.000 No, that's exactly right.
00:48:58.000 I wouldn't say that on air, Josh.
00:49:00.000 We are live.
00:49:00.000 And I just don't want them to exist.
00:49:03.000 And then we went through this yesterday where the left thinks this is a dunk.
00:49:07.000 This shows you how out of touch they are.
00:49:08.000 They're so separated from reality.
00:49:10.000 They think that you, you, the average American worker working, you know, not in the public sector, in the private sector, that you'll be impressed.
00:49:18.000 You'll be impressed by their list of accomplishments.
00:49:21.000 Amy Klobuchar over the last week.
00:49:23.000 Five things I did last week, Mr. Musk.
00:49:26.000 One, successfully asked you to rehire 300 nuclear and avian flu workers you accidentally fired.
00:49:31.000 I'm sure he got right on that because of you.
00:49:33.000 Number two, pressed you to pay attention to rising household costs.
00:49:39.000 Okay, number three.
00:49:40.000 Stand up for vets!
00:49:41.000 Well, sit back down, you fat bitch.
00:49:43.000 Did you notice they were orbiting you?
00:49:44.000 Number four.
00:49:45.000 Fought against your tax cuts for the rich, alright?
00:49:48.000 Five.
00:49:48.000 Stood with Ukraine instead of Russia.
00:49:49.000 So hold on a second.
00:49:50.000 Your accomplishments this last week are your opinions?
00:49:54.000 The two of them were just standing.
00:49:55.000 Yeah.
00:49:57.000 I mean, I'm a fat guy, but standing's not one of the hard things I do every day.
00:50:01.000 And they try and act like they're fighting for you.
00:50:04.000 Send a tweet.
00:50:05.000 Think about this.
00:50:06.000 You have people who are maimed in battle who keep going, and you're like, no, no, not until they, not until I'm dead.
00:50:12.000 I'll fight with my last breath.
00:50:14.000 Like, you know, I could very easily be sitting, but I will not.
00:50:19.000 Some people sit.
00:50:20.000 I'll stand.
00:50:21.000 Sometimes.
00:50:22.000 Sometimes I'll sit.
00:50:22.000 I mean, you know, I'm not a machine, but sometimes I won't sit.
00:50:26.000 I'll stand.
00:50:26.000 I'm willing to do that for you.
00:50:28.000 Number three, stood up for vets.
00:50:31.000 I didn't see Governor Abbott doing that.
00:50:37.000 And by the way, Eric Swalwell posted one through five fight fascism.
00:50:43.000 Did he really?
00:50:44.000 Well, I think he was saying find fascism.
00:50:46.000 It's in a Chinese spy's vagina.
00:50:48.000 Me so sorry!
00:50:50.000 What a dumb tweet, dude.
00:50:52.000 Here's a video.
00:50:53.000 I believe he actually had a video to accompany it.
00:50:54.000 Oh, good.
00:50:56.000 Oh, okay.
00:50:57.000 There you go.
00:51:00.000 Fought fascism!
00:51:02.000 Fought fascism!
00:51:03.000 Okay.
00:51:04.000 So you didn't...
00:51:05.000 Eric Swalwell adds a plug.
00:51:06.000 By the way, I guess that's on his list!
00:51:08.000 You had that video made!
00:51:09.000 No, no, he did one thing five times.
00:51:12.000 Yes, one thing five times.
00:51:13.000 By the way, they're talking about it right now on CNN. Oh, watch.
00:51:15.000 Look, look at this.
00:51:16.000 They're talking about this right now.
00:51:17.000 What have you done?
00:51:19.000 Watch, I guarantee you I know what they'll say.
00:51:20.000 They'll say, and then there were other heads of departments, for example, Cash Patel saying, please, no more replies because they are so disorganized.
00:51:27.000 No, what they're saying is we have enough right now.
00:51:28.000 They needed to find out just how much waste there is.
00:51:31.000 And at a certain point, when you have a bunch of people who are clearly making stuff up, you go, all right, I think we get the gist here.
00:51:38.000 This is where we are, the left versus reality.
00:51:44.000 Is there any more clear examples?
00:51:46.000 Anyone out there?
00:51:46.000 A genuine question.
00:51:47.000 Anyone out there impressed with Amy Klobuchar's five accomplishments of the week?
00:51:51.000 Genuine comment.
00:51:53.000 How do you fight fascism?
00:51:55.000 I mean, I know how my grandfather did it.
00:51:58.000 Yeah.
00:51:58.000 Right.
00:51:59.000 Shooting Nazis.
00:52:00.000 Yeah.
00:52:01.000 Right.
00:52:02.000 But how does Eric Swallow fight...
00:52:04.000 I want to know.
00:52:05.000 That's the whole point of the email.
00:52:06.000 Okay, great.
00:52:07.000 You follow fascism.
00:52:08.000 Good.
00:52:08.000 Thank you.
00:52:09.000 Now, what does that mean?
00:52:10.000 What is it you do here?
00:52:12.000 Yes, exactly.
00:52:13.000 How did you do...
00:52:14.000 What is it, an email you wrote?
00:52:15.000 Or you went out...
00:52:16.000 Were you killing people?
00:52:18.000 Were you fighting?
00:52:20.000 Did you commit murder?
00:52:20.000 Were you shooting people in the streets?
00:52:22.000 Were you...
00:52:24.000 He just chugs himself.
00:52:25.000 Were you physically fighting?
00:52:28.000 Were you organizing something with a Chinese spy?
00:52:31.000 How did you fight it?
00:52:35.000 They think this is going to land well.
00:52:37.000 Yes, please, lean in.
00:52:38.000 We were sitting there going, oh my god, just to listen.
00:52:41.000 Trump on Musk's email.
00:52:42.000 I thought it was great.
00:52:43.000 Of course.
00:52:44.000 Let's see what he's saying.
00:52:45.000 People are not answering because they don't even exist.
00:52:49.000 That's how badly...
00:52:51.000 Various parts of our government were run by and especially by this last group.
00:52:56.000 Of course, there is no evidence that there are vast numbers of federal employees who do not exist.
00:53:01.000 I'm sure there's email addresses that weren't scrubbed.
00:53:05.000 I think he's being dramatic, and then these guys go, oh, there's emails that don't get scrubbed.
00:53:11.000 People leave, they get fired, and then email stays, and then it's in the directory.
00:53:15.000 That happens all the time.
00:53:16.000 Donald Trump is making the point that it's inefficient, that we don't know what's going on.
00:53:19.000 Up next, we are going to fact-check Donald Trump's claim regarding ghost employees.
00:53:25.000 Yes.
00:53:25.000 There's no evidence of that.
00:53:28.000 This is the same line they use.
00:53:29.000 There's no evidence of widespread voter fraud.
00:53:32.000 Really?
00:53:32.000 Well, who's going to look into it?
00:53:33.000 Thanks, guys.
00:53:34.000 There's no evidence that Ilhan Omar married her brother.
00:53:37.000 What's that, a marriage certificate?
00:53:39.000 We don't know.
00:53:40.000 It's up in the air.
00:53:42.000 Well, just hold on.
00:53:43.000 Just look at it.
00:53:44.000 I hate these people.
00:53:46.000 So, and we have to do this here at this company.
00:53:48.000 We do.
00:53:49.000 We were talking about what we had done yesterday, five things just before.
00:53:53.000 And then we also realized that we have a lot of weird things that we have to do at this office that aren't quite typical of most offices.
00:54:01.000 So we had all of our employees reply with a list of things they did here at the office last week.
00:54:07.000 And that brings us to this week's 7 Plus 1. And by the way, all of these are actually...
00:54:21.000 Reality-based, just to be clear.
00:54:23.000 Things that actually had to be done.
00:54:24.000 7 plus 1, things we actually had to accomplish at Loud Earth Crowder last week.
00:54:29.000 Number 7, Captain Morgan.
00:54:31.000 Edited the background for the James Carville interview to reflect the background of every James Carville interview.
00:54:37.000 Yeah, look, and we nailed it.
00:54:41.000 We nailed it.
00:54:42.000 By the way, there were like four edits until we said, no, that's the background.
00:54:46.000 We actually got it.
00:54:46.000 I think you could have had some more sacking jowls, but...
00:54:48.000 Yes, that's about it.
00:54:50.000 A wicker chair, maybe?
00:54:52.000 Schmutz in your mouth, but yeah.
00:54:53.000 Number six, we actually had to do this.
00:54:55.000 Return Tim's Mowgli diaper to dry cleaning.
00:54:58.000 Yeah.
00:55:01.000 That was a teaser for you guys.
00:55:03.000 Sneak peek.
00:55:04.000 Yeah, that's a release shot, but it was soiled.
00:55:07.000 Seven plus one things we actually had to do.
00:55:09.000 Fighting fascism, not amongst them.
00:55:11.000 We don't have the time.
00:55:11.000 Number five, Mr. Fierstein.
00:55:14.000 Finalized, John Oliver is a pussy stinger.
00:55:16.000 Yeah.
00:55:17.000 I am a pussy, and that is frankly a wild thing to say.
00:55:20.000 I'm telling you, I am a pussy.
00:55:21.000 Oh, sorry if this is how you found out, but I'm telling you that I am a pussy.
00:55:28.000 Time well spent, I say.
00:55:30.000 Yes.
00:55:31.000 You're keeping your job after that one.
00:55:33.000 Takes a lot of work.
00:55:36.000 Number four, Captain Morgan.
00:55:38.000 We found Lane a nice white girl.
00:55:40.000 Yes.
00:55:41.000 Yes.
00:55:42.000 And he changed in front of her in a phone booth.
00:55:44.000 To which he flexed.
00:55:46.000 Yeah.
00:55:47.000 It looks like he's saying, I can't hear you.
00:55:49.000 Yeah.
00:55:50.000 Louder for Lane.
00:55:51.000 He's asking her, he's like, hey, is the bathroom over there?
00:55:55.000 Behind me?
00:55:57.000 Oh, no, wait.
00:55:58.000 Do you mean, sorry, is it there?
00:56:00.000 Oh, sorry.
00:56:02.000 These are all based on real things, by the way.
00:56:06.000 Number three.
00:56:08.000 Filed expense reports for reimbursements for visits to Twin Peaks, Tilted Kilt, Tight Ends, Bikinis, Bone Daddies, Bottoms Up, and Redneck Heaven for the research on the Hooters segment.
00:56:19.000 But you guys didn't even go to Hooters.
00:56:22.000 There's not a Hooters for like 47 miles around here.
00:56:25.000 Oh.
00:56:26.000 All right.
00:56:27.000 Okay.
00:56:27.000 Number two.
00:56:28.000 Hey, Steven.
00:56:29.000 How long does it normally take to get reimbursed?
00:56:33.000 I don't know.
00:56:34.000 Maybe two or three weeks, I think.
00:56:37.000 Number two.
00:56:38.000 Hey, Stephen.
00:56:40.000 Is that going to be direct deposit?
00:56:42.000 It's probably direct deposit, Billy.
00:56:44.000 Okay, that's probably a question for accounting.
00:56:46.000 Thank you.
00:56:48.000 Number two.
00:56:49.000 Had to curate embarrassing soundbites for this week's soundboard.
00:56:53.000 Drop off my penis, you know.
00:56:58.000 Hey, that took a while for Billy to do.
00:57:01.000 It takes a while.
00:57:02.000 You have to go through the show, find it, isolate it, cut it, get it into the soundboard, and then find the perfect time to chip away at his self-esteem.
00:57:11.000 There's like a whole bracket system.
00:57:13.000 That's right.
00:57:13.000 It's like March Madness.
00:57:14.000 I feel like it's an inefficient use of time.
00:57:18.000 The audience would disagree.
00:57:19.000 You and this guy on CNN right now who's clearly smelling farts.
00:57:24.000 He's always smelling farts.
00:57:29.000 And the plus, sorry, and the number one thing that we actually had to do this week took a long time because these things have to be manufactured and they have to be put into distribution was we designed new merch available for a 10% discount at CrowderShop.com.
00:57:40.000 Yeah.
00:57:41.000 Okay.
00:57:42.000 Promo code penis, you know.
00:57:44.000 Promo code doge.
00:57:45.000 Yeah, fine.
00:57:46.000 Thanks.
00:57:46.000 I see.
00:57:47.000 Yeah.
00:57:48.000 Promo code doge, Gerald.
00:57:49.000 I mean, really, no respect.
00:57:50.000 Yeah, well, the plus one is reminding Gerald whose name is on the frickin' wall.
00:57:53.000 That's been this week's 7 plus 1. I think we've made our point.
00:58:05.000 By the way, while you're dealing with the feds, don't let tax issues overpower you.
00:58:09.000 You need to have an agent.
00:58:11.000 Agents, they have direct preferred lines to the IRS. Talk to one.
00:58:14.000 Go to tnusa.com slash Crowder.
00:58:17.000 April 15th, just around the corner.
00:58:19.000 The worst day of the year!
00:58:23.000 That was a pretty weak throw.
00:58:26.000 It's anti-Christmas.
00:58:27.000 It's anti-Christmas.
00:58:28.000 It is anti-Christmas.
00:58:29.000 It's what April 15th is.
00:58:30.000 The International Day of Rape.
00:58:33.000 Whoa!
00:58:33.000 I didn't have that on my Google Calendar.
00:58:36.000 I think it's just the National.
00:58:37.000 It's just the National.
00:58:37.000 It hasn't gone international yet.
00:58:38.000 You can admonish me.
00:58:39.000 You can admonish me.
00:58:40.000 I deserve it.
00:58:41.000 It's the National.
00:58:41.000 to talk to.
00:58:43.000 She's not always wrong.
00:58:49.000 Yeah.
00:58:53.000 All right.

00:59:08.000 Last night in Cincinnati, the world's favorite other Indian in the cupboard, Vivek Ramaswamy, announced his bid, and not a surprise, for Ohio governor.
00:59:20.000 And that is why today I am honored to announce that I am running to be the next governor of a great state at the heart of the greatest nation known to mankind.
00:59:31.000 The state where I was born and raised.
00:59:34.000 The state where Apoorva and I raise our two sons today.
00:59:38.000 A state whose best days are still ahead.
00:59:41.000 I am honored to announce my candidacy to serve as the next governor of the state of Ohio.
00:59:49.000 The other thing is, he said he was going to, you know...
00:59:52.000 Be a governor for all people, and he's not going to be combative.
00:59:57.000 Doesn't really track with the body language and the tone.
01:00:00.000 I will not be combative!
01:00:02.000 The great state!
01:00:03.000 Well, why are you mad that it's great?
01:00:05.000 The greatest state!
01:00:07.000 I'm just hoping it brings back the Cleveland Indians.
01:00:09.000 It changes the logo to a different India.
01:00:13.000 One that does this a lot.
01:00:15.000 I think that'd be fun.
01:00:16.000 It'd be perfect with the big foam hands.
01:00:18.000 At the very end of the game.
01:00:19.000 Thank you.
01:00:20.000 Come again.
01:00:22.000 That was a bad call.
01:00:25.000 Outside.
01:00:26.000 Ball four.
01:00:27.000 Get my beer helmet.
01:00:28.000 Ball eight.
01:00:29.000 Ball twelve.
01:00:31.000 It's cap night.
01:00:33.000 Now.
01:00:33.000 You cannot steal a base.
01:00:35.000 You have to pay for it.
01:00:36.000 That's right.
01:00:37.000 You cannot rob a home run.
01:00:38.000 You have to pay for it a home run.
01:00:39.000 The good news is today, the base is 2-4-1, just for you.
01:00:45.000 But you have to make decisions.
01:00:46.000 Right now, I'm giving you that deal because I like you.
01:00:52.000 So he has, right now, as far as the early polling, he's at 46%.
01:00:59.000 So that's pretty good.
01:01:02.000 But that brings us to Vivek's actual beliefs.
01:01:04.000 Look, he's been here on the show quite a few times.
01:01:06.000 He's been a friend of the show.
01:01:07.000 He's been here in the studio.
01:01:08.000 I like Vivek.
01:01:08.000 Yeah.
01:01:10.000 There are some issues that he's presented that give me pause, to be clear.
01:01:14.000 So here would be my top questions.
01:01:16.000 And I would love, especially this is one of those scenarios where if you comment below, if you leave your question, there's a good chance that Vivek will need to answer it, especially if you're from Ohio.
01:01:24.000 And I know that he will.
01:01:26.000 He does speak to his constituents.
01:01:27.000 The first one would be, hey, Vivek, what's your view on immigration, namely H-1B visas?
01:01:34.000 Vivek has waffled on that quite a bit, and that's an issue for a lot of Americans.
01:01:38.000 He used H-1B visas for his businesses quite a few, I believe, 29 times.
01:01:43.000 And he once referred to the H-1B system as a scam and then seemed to, along with Elon Musk, say we should just uncap it.
01:01:51.000 Because America can't compete?
01:01:53.000 That's a concern.
01:01:54.000 Hopefully your voters get an answer on that, because I'm not entirely clear.
01:02:00.000 Right?
01:02:00.000 That brings us to another question.
01:02:01.000 Will you be prioritizing American workers?
01:02:04.000 So he did tweet out, the reason top tech companies often hire foreign-born and first-generation engineers over Native Americans isn't because of an innate American IQ deficit, a lazy and wrong explanation.
01:02:14.000 A key part of it comes down to the C-word culture.
01:02:17.000 Tough questions demand tough answers, and if we're really serious about fixing the problem, we have to confront the truth.
01:02:22.000 More movies like Whiplash, fewer reruns of Friends, more math tutoring, fewer sleepovers, more weekend science competitions, fewer Saturday morning cartoons, more books, less TV, more creating, less chilling, more extracurriculars, less hanging out at the mall.
01:02:33.000 Okay, that isn't bad in and of itself.
01:02:35.000 But saying that, look, if these tech workers, if these brilliant tech workers, or I should say, if the best in the world come from India, my question still remains.
01:02:47.000 And I know this will be seen as racist and I'm okay with it.
01:02:49.000 If that's true, why does India still look like India?
01:02:54.000 And I know what they say about culture, but I say, yes, yes.
01:02:56.000 But why does India look like India?
01:03:00.000 And they'll say, yeah, but the truth is they have more colleges.
01:03:01.000 And I say, yeah, well, that's actually not true.
01:03:02.000 That's complete propaganda bullshit.
01:03:03.000 But why does India still look like India?
01:03:11.000 Maybe they could use a TV. Yeah.
01:03:14.000 More books.
01:03:15.000 Yeah, more books.
01:03:16.000 In India, they need more toilets.
01:03:19.000 So my issue here is, again, this is a big concern.
01:03:22.000 I've seen some people kind of, Kind of splitting here.
01:03:26.000 I understand that sometimes you have very particularly skilled roles that require people that maybe can't be found stateside.
01:03:35.000 It's pretty rare, few and far between.
01:03:36.000 We already laid out the plan to solve the H-1B issue, and I think it's actually a viable plan.
01:03:42.000 But I do think it's important.
01:03:43.000 I do think it's...
01:03:44.000 Kind of a threshold for people who are in the Make America Great Again movement.
01:03:49.000 I don't think that you can hold the two views that we need to make America great by bringing in people who have no interest in making America great but want to send money back home.
01:03:59.000 So I'm not saying that's his view, but it is unclear.
01:04:03.000 Views on economics, great.
01:04:05.000 Views on free speech, great.
01:04:07.000 He's great on a lot of issues.
01:04:08.000 The immigration issue is...
01:04:09.000 One I'd be concerned about.
01:04:12.000 Another question I would have for Vivek is, can I have the contact info for your personal trainer?
01:04:16.000 See, that's why he's so trim.
01:04:25.000 That's why he's so trim, unlike Illinois Governor Pritzker, who starts his morning with different burpees.
01:04:31.000 But yeah, well, you know, hey.
01:04:37.000 Chris Christie's like, oh, thank God there's someone else.
01:04:40.000 I had too much Giordano's.
01:04:44.000 I had a deep dish all night.
01:04:46.000 I was sleeping with a deep dish in my pants.
01:04:48.000 More of a Lou Malnati's guy, but okay, fine.
01:04:51.000 Anybody seen that John Fetterman around?
01:04:52.000 That guy's weird.
01:04:57.000 Another question I would have for Vivek, and I think these are important questions.
01:05:00.000 We're now at the point where we can ask these questions.
01:05:01.000 What does it mean to be American?
01:05:04.000 Is an important one.
01:05:05.000 In case those of you don't remember, like this was a good example of kind of a separation or schism with sort of the MAGA, I should say, Republicans and people who think that some of it has been, the waters have been muddied.
01:05:18.000 This is Vivek and Ann Coulter.
