Quarter Black's lawyer Bill Richman joins the show to talk about all the evidence of voter fraud in the Michigan primary election. Plus, a New York Times columnist encourages people to move to Georgia just to vote for the Democrats.
00:01:09.000Everyone, quarter black, audio-weight, Gerald A., but it's really important that my half-Asian lawyer Bill Richman is here because we are going to go through the 234 pages of sworn affidavits just in the state of Michigan.
00:01:42.000Before we get to that, this is something, just before we get into anything else, also we're passing the Young Turks today, which is kind of, we'll do a little celebration, but this is something In case you wondered if the left was beyond parody, I just wanted to leave with this and we'll go back to it with Georgia voter fraud, but this is a New York Times columnist, Thomas Friedman, the lesser Friedman, encouraging people, this was last night, to move to Georgia just to vote for Democrats.
00:02:12.000I hope everybody moves to Georgia, you know, in the next month or two, registers to vote, and votes for these two Democratic Senators.
00:02:21.000Now, in a vacuum, what does that matter?
00:02:24.000I actually made that statement two days ago on this show as a joke, solely because I know it's highly illegal.
00:02:34.000So here's a clip from me two days ago.
00:02:38.000I am this close to calling every single Louder With Crowder viewer and everyone here to go rent out a timeshare or apartment in Georgia and voting the shit out of those runoffs!
00:02:49.000I'm this close to just doing it, but I know that we would be caught.
00:02:55.000I made a joke about doing something illegal.
00:02:57.000I made a joke about the fact that we would be caught doing something illegal.
00:03:01.000Two days later, the New York Times columnist encourages people to do something illegal.
00:03:06.000By the way, half-Asian Bill, is it illegal?
00:03:11.000There's a process by which you can actually move to a state and become a registered voter, but the time frame and what they're specifically suggesting is a no-no.
00:03:20.000Not only is there evidence of voter irregularities and fraud in the election, but if you could minority report this right now, you would arrest him for committing voter fraud months from now!
00:04:42.000Which one do you think is the most egregious?
00:04:45.000We'll be going through state by state next week so you can kind of have it as a catalog and a reference point because we've been doing it as the info comes in but I do understand it's tough sometimes especially when they say well there's no evidence of any kind of voting irregularities and you're like well there's so much but where do I go?
00:05:01.000And let me know, comment right now, take a second, pause it if you're watching this in the archive, and then come back to it, let me know if your mind changes after you see the Michigan affidavits.
00:06:35.000But I've got to say, those protesters were pretty spot on.
00:06:37.000I mean, if there's anyone who's the party of white supremacy, it's definitely Biden.
00:06:43.000And his slave-owning first POS candidate VP.
00:06:48.000Well, I mean, look, between the two of them, one of them has thrown more minorities in jail for victimless crimes than the other, and it's her.
00:06:56.000And one of them has had their direct ancestors enslave more people than anyone in this room.
00:08:26.000I mean, a lot of people have had to fill them out, you know, where you go to the bank, or you go to a notary, and that person is a witness, they take down your name, they do the signature, so you have a record of making sure.
00:08:35.000It's a long process, it's been around for a while.
00:08:38.000You know, we're now doing some digital signatures, which is the electronic version of that, but essentially saying, like, there has to be a penalty if we're going to rely on these words.
00:08:46.000It's a central part of how the legal system works is that you can trust
00:08:49.000that someone isn't going to just put false information in a statement. And so
00:08:52.000there are two different systems. You have the state and the federal. At
00:08:55.000the federal level the penalties are wide-ranging depending on the circumstance,
00:08:58.000but you could generally have about up to five years in federal prison. And that's
00:09:03.000for, yeah, perjury applies to sworn affidavits just like being under oath in
00:09:06.000court. It does. I mean when you are making an under oath statement in writing in
00:09:09.000an affidavit it is the equivalent of sitting on the stand with a judge
00:09:12.000there and making a statement again under oath. So in the state of Michigan,
00:09:16.000which is where these affidavits are from, they actually have even more strict
00:09:19.000penalties. It can be up to 15 years and it's a felony.
00:09:23.000You would have to believe that these affidavits are false.
00:09:27.000You would have to believe that someone was willing to give up not only more than a decade, potentially, of their own freedom, but also all the other things that go along with being a felon and the rights that you lose.
00:09:37.000Yeah, and you don't want to be Michigan's next Ilhan Omar.
00:09:42.000The point is, their affidavit's their hands on the Quran.
00:09:44.000You were about to say something there?
00:09:45.000I was gonna ask you, so when somebody makes a statement like that, doesn't somebody say, are you willing to sign an affidavit under oath saying that this is true?
00:11:19.000If any of this is incorrect, if they can prove it's incorrect, this person is in trouble.
00:11:25.000The person who made the statement, absolutely.
00:11:26.000If they're making factual, material statements that are false, they will be likely found to have committed perjury.
00:11:34.000So here's the other part is, so people will say, oh well, you know, the people who are signing it have no idea, they're just being told to sign this stuff.
00:11:41.000But actually suborning perjury, so going out and procuring perjury, is perjury itself.
00:11:47.000It's also within the perjury statute as a crime.
00:11:50.000Here's the thing, even if you ask for someone to make a false statement, and they don't even make the false statement, that's punishable.
00:11:56.000Well that's why I was getting into like where these things came from.
00:12:00.000The entire process of it is made that has penalties that are involved and so like for that one just you know being you know being very straightforward if you look at that statement the question is always gonna be this is like what you asked the question of what is the way it's supposed to be right and what is the way it's being done And what is the legal way to do it in the way it's being done?
00:12:18.000There are reasons why you have to rerun ballots if they're not read.
00:12:55.000It'll probably take you a couple of hours.
00:12:57.000On page 25, page 116, page 122, page 138, page 158, page 185, we have over six eyewitnesses testifying that ballots not in the voter database were just entered using a fake birth date of 1-1-1900.
00:13:19.000And this is also, interestingly enough, this is an excuse that's often used when we talk about dead voters going, well, sometimes they just enter in the 1900 as a birthday.
00:13:29.000That's also not a legitimate vote if it doesn't match the birth date of the person in question.
00:13:35.000You're not supposed to correct it on your own.
00:13:36.000Because there's one person here who said that their son voted who's dead twice.
00:13:40.000Now, all the local news said that that had been disproven, but they didn't actually provide sources to it being disproven.
00:13:45.000What I had read was they said, well, sometimes if they're part of a new township that's created, they'll just give them like a birthday, like 1900.
00:13:58.000We have a new town that's going to hand out birthdates now.
00:14:01.000And so here's the thing, there were some examples where, you know, the birthdate was illegible, they put a like a placeholder birth date in there of 1900,
00:14:11.000and then they go back and they follow those up.
00:14:12.000And so even if, I mean, this is the entire problem I have with anyone going, no, there's no fraud at all,
00:14:18.000there's no irregularities, we shouldn't look at any of this, just crown Biden and move on,
00:14:22.000is there are legitimate irregularities that the system is already set to review.
00:14:27.000So we're not saying, hey, do an extraordinary review, don't do anything that's abnormal,
00:14:32.000canvas the districts, look at the votes, check the ballots, check the things that are irregular,
00:14:37.000And let the chips fall where they may.
00:14:40.000This is something I want everyone to know.
00:14:42.000In Georgia, for example, and keep in mind, too, the Georgia Secretary of State, this isn't... anyone involved, even if they're Republican, they don't want to say, yeah, I was involved in the most incompetent voting process Exactly.
00:14:55.000So they're not necessarily going to be looking as aggressively as possible, regardless of political affiliation, because it reflects badly on them as well if they didn't catch it.
00:15:04.000But this is something that was overlooked, and I would say even on our show we didn't have enough time.
00:15:08.000In Georgia, people just think, oh, it's just a recount.
00:15:10.000Explain to people what the canvassing is, the recount, how that's different, a manual recount, and why it could change things dramatically and catch fraud.
00:15:17.000Because it's not just going, all right, recounting, and there might be a difference in a few votes.
00:15:21.000Well, it's looking at, in every state, the ballots are a little different.
00:16:18.000Every state does it a little bit differently.
00:16:20.000All we're saying is do the process you normally do.
00:16:23.000And in an election where it's not that close, no one pays attention.
00:16:27.000But just because you didn't know canvassing happens, and that canvassing is required, and a vote certification is happening, and reviewing the irregularities and checking to make sure they're right, doesn't mean that that hasn't already been the process.
00:16:36.000That's what I think this comes down to if people believe that this is legitimate or not.
00:16:40.000For example, just because you didn't know that canvassing happens, just because you didn't know, for example, like, I think that vote should count, but he wasn't born in 1900.
00:16:55.000I don't care what Detroit Free Press told you.
00:16:57.000If you were born in 1967 and it says 1900 and it doesn't match your voter registration, that is not a legitimate vote because we cannot know what is accurate or not.
00:17:07.000And I think we've just gotten so used to the media calling an election and we just trust, oh, okay, those are the results.
00:17:12.000And we had no idea this entire process went on until around December 14th, I think, when they actually say, yep, votes certified in each one of the states.
00:17:40.000Because usually the process is used but media will call it and they work with local officials and they go okay we have a general we think we have an accurate count.
00:18:15.000If they were saying, hey, listen, keep calm, all is well, winning Florida by double digits, by twice the margin of last time, I think last time was 1.5, it was 3 point something, I don't know the total tally.
00:19:06.000I'm just asking questions regarding the facts with my creepy riff-raff.
00:19:14.000So one thing I would say is very interesting, because I've talked to a lot of people, I think I've mentioned this before, before the election, you know, there's not a lot of court going on these days, so I'm like not getting my fix of adversarial conversations than I would normally do.
00:19:25.000You call me up at 2 in the morning just to argue.
00:19:32.000And so I would go talk to a bunch of folks, and I'm still doing that today, and a lot of folks on the left, like folks who are just openly, they support Biden, they go, we need to count the votes.
00:19:42.000They're like, I don't want to have to answer to someone and say, oh, we just won because we shuffled it under the bed.
00:19:49.000But that is not what you're hearing on CNN.
00:19:52.000They're like, I'm looking around and seeing these headlines.
00:19:55.000But less than half of America believe Biden won.
00:20:33.000I had a friend who got arrested because, or he was detained because he accidentally caught a species of fish in Lake Michigan that you were not allowed to fish.
00:20:42.000And he legitimately could claim ignorance because everyone could.
00:20:47.000He was a professional hockey player, and they said, like, ah, you can't do that.
00:21:23.000There are also numbers coming in that there are a disproportional number of ballots that just had Biden and Harris, and I can't verify this, but it hasn't really largely been disputed, where it's just Biden and Harris and not the rest of the ticket, which is very weird.
00:21:38.000It pisses me off more than just about anything else because that was what they assured us would be the backstop.
00:21:43.000They said, no, no, no, mail-in ballots are fine because we can check the signatures and that will be fine.
00:21:49.000And just to go, well, eh, I don't know, you put an X over here and a Y over there, that's fine.
00:21:53.000They did fix it because we've talked about this long before this show about how many votes could be compromised because a lot of ballots either didn't have signatures or the signatures didn't match, but now they just said...
00:23:25.000Well, I'm going to tell you guys, I think you're making a big mistake even referring, you know, in any way to think that this is going to be a Biden presidency.
00:26:08.000A poll watcher saw poll workers duplicating ballots to incorrect precincts in order to run through two ballots for one person.
00:26:16.000And they said that they observed this repeatedly about 20 to 30 times.
00:26:20.000So of all the different allegations, this is one of the ones that I think is a very much, like there's no innocent explanation for that.
00:26:28.000If they saw what they saw, and I realize they've signed and said that this is what they saw, but look, having worked in law you see people who, everyone will see the same scene and remember things a little bit differently, or there's some explanation, but that's one of the ones where it's really hard to think of how could there be an explanation.
00:26:43.000You saw the ballot, it had a precinct, you saw another ballot, it had the same person with the same votes but with a different precinct, and then they both get run through, right?
00:26:51.000There's no legitimate explanation for that.
00:26:53.000And it's one of the examples that we have to get to the bottom of.
00:26:57.000Let's say that the presidential election doesn't change.
00:27:00.000Let's say that the swing states, the battleground states, they are what they are and Trump doesn't end up winning.
00:27:05.000There's still a lot of other ballots that matter.
00:27:08.000We're coming into a 2021 redistricting cycle.
00:27:11.000The state legislatures are the ones that determine that.
00:27:13.000So knowing that the ballots for those less popular candidates or less popular races is really really important especially when you've already
00:27:24.000had people who conceded and then they were like oh by the way you won by a
00:27:27.000thousand he's like oh you're bullshitting ah think about this for a second how would you not want to
00:27:31.000investigate an election where you had a six thousand vote slip just a flip and they go well
00:27:36.000we caught it so the system works Well, hold on a second.
00:27:39.000You caught it in one district and you're claiming it works?
00:27:42.000I would prefer that it didn't happen at all.
00:27:44.000Seems it's an oversight that 6,000 votes were miscounted for the wrong guy entirely.
00:27:49.000And we also have another in Michigan, a Republican who conceded and then they found out actually won by 1,000 votes, which in that district is a lot.
00:28:14.000I mean, if someone here came forward with proof that Gerald had groped them once, and I was like, well, how do you know?
00:28:21.000And I see videographic evidence of his hand sliding up a thigh, and then another one is just a videographic evidence of him later on surfacing himself in the bathroom.
00:28:59.000I don't understand where they get the no evidence claim.
00:29:01.000They can not like the evidence, they can not like what they're seeing and think maybe it's not going to change the overall, but there is evidence that stuff happens.
00:29:10.000By the way, hit the notification bell speaking of irrefutable evidence because subscriptions don't mean a whole lot on YouTube and the notification bell goes straight to your mobile app and tells you, or your phone, your mobile app, I don't know.
00:30:25.000And this is a question that I did have for you, Half-Asian Lawyer Bill.
00:30:29.000How many of these things, if you do a hand count, can be found versus not?
00:30:32.000So for example, this is one you can find if they all have the same signatures.
00:30:34.000But if some of these secret ballots have been destroyed, there are some things that could be covered up afterward.
00:30:41.000Right, so one of the hardest ones are ballots that don't actually make it into the system.
00:30:45.000So if they never got received and that's, you know, if there are ballot boxes or drop-offs and they just don't get collected or they get dumped or they get sorted before they're taken in, it's really hard because you don't have anything in the counting, right?
00:30:57.000The counting presumes that you already have, but there's not really anything you can do about that at this stage.
00:31:05.000So in some states they keep a record of when it was actually received and they went through a process where it was stamped.
00:31:11.000Though as we saw there have been questions about where they stamped appropriately on that day or not.
00:31:15.000Sometimes they're dated in the ballot itself.
00:31:18.000So for example you know that it was sent the day before the election and then somehow it got in and had a date from the day two days before the election.
00:32:11.000Bill, when have you ever seen that outside of a horror movie and that's only because people are acting in the exact opposite way that someone would react in their life?
00:32:21.000Especially when you're supposed to be observing what's going on behind that glass.
00:32:25.000But also the guidance that they were given, Bill.
00:32:27.000The guidance that says, even if the signature doesn't match, even if it doesn't have a signature, even if the postmark isn't clear, even if it is after the deadline, go ahead and accept that.
00:32:35.000Go ahead and say that that is a legitimate valid.
00:33:20.000You're not just talking about every individual's home.
00:33:23.000These ballots are collected in basically what are giant ballot farms, effectively, right?
00:33:28.000And then if it's covered up in Bristol Board and they don't let anyone in, then okay, well, now you know that you're screwed.
00:33:33.000Well, think about a state like Arizona.
00:33:34.000You have Maricopa County that far exceeds almost every other county in terms of numbers.
00:33:38.000So you could make it look like very little of a problem by framing it like, well, one of 34 counties had We had a 2% error rate in the counting of ballots for one candidate versus another, or 2% of them didn't actually get in, or 2% of them had irregularities that we ignored despite saying we counted them.
00:33:59.000But then you go and you're like, okay, well, but how many is that 2% and how much is that 2% against the rest of the, oh, oh, it actually is 11% because of the number of people.
00:34:08.000So, you know, you have to look at the objective numbers and also the percentage.
00:34:13.000We're just giving you an idea, and people say, well, how can the county affect it?
00:34:52.000If you talk with Michiganders, right, people who don't actually live in Detroit, just like, if we could just annex that shit and send it to Canada, who would be better off?
00:35:00.000Because they know how much influence it has and how corrupt it is for crying out loud.
00:35:08.000I don't know that we've had a mayor, I think probably two out of three mayors in Detroit have been investigated if not arrested.
00:35:15.000That guy Kwame who was mayor in Detroit, his wife may or may not have killed prostitutes who he had in the mayor's mansion and he tried to flee, they caught him at the Dallas airport, remember?
00:35:24.000Not only is he a criminal, he's stupid.
00:35:34.000Get an international flight, you moron.
00:35:37.000So, Gerald, to your point about the instructions, there have always been issues where you worked in one state, and then you moved to another state, and then you're in the next election, and you're helping to work, and the instructions are different.
00:35:48.000Or the instructions have changed because of the rules, or there were a lot of last minute legal rulings that were had, and you've got to communicate that to lots of people who the last time they did this was the last cycle two years ago, and the instructions were a little bit different.
00:36:01.000So when you have legitimate claims of questions about instructions being given correctly or the process not being done according to the instructions that were given, you have to be able to answer those.
00:36:24.000And now we are going to come back in just 30 seconds with actually potential new voter fraud as expressed by the New York Times and the Yang Gang.
00:37:47.000Just if it gets trending, it'd just be a nice little cherry on top.
00:37:50.000But if you go to ExpressVPN.com slash Crowder, I want to make sure I get this right, you get three months free, an extra three months free.
00:38:34.000It doesn't matter if I'm watching Anthony Cumia, if I'm listening to a Bill Burr podcast, or Nick DiPaolo, it could be Ben Shapiro, it always suggests Seth Meyers.
00:38:56.000A lot of folks are like, hey, wait a minute, we've got big tech, we've got big data, they're out there, they're taking all this information, they're selling it, and they're making these online profiles.
00:39:03.000One of the best ways to just carve back a little bit of that is using ExpressVPN.
00:39:08.000You don't even have to use it when you're doing secret stuff, or stuff that has to be, whether trade secrets, or work, or confidential.
00:39:14.000You can just use it during your everyday browsing and other things like that, whether fetish or otherwise.
00:40:20.000Well, he didn't make the drive to Ferguson.
00:40:22.000There's a great old Norm Macdonald joke.
00:40:24.000It's that ping pong is the only sport named after its inventor.
00:40:30.000But my dad is very good at ping-pong, but my Chinese grandmother, so on my mother's side, was better than him and would beat him regularly.
00:40:38.000I think really the moral of the story is I'm terrible at ping-pong.
00:40:41.000No, you're actually pretty good at it.
00:40:43.000I would imagine your Chinese grandmother does it while chain-smoking cigarettes and then swallowing them backwards because it's just an old age way.
00:40:50.000Let's see right here really quickly CNN before we go to the next version of election fraud.
00:40:54.000We will know the final Arizona tally soon.
00:40:57.000Trump counts Arizona vote count while dismissing other results.
00:41:00.000This is one of those things they just go without context.
00:41:18.000That doesn't mean that nothing wrong has happened with Arizona because of course there were military ballots that came in late, there's some just ballots that didn't come in on time at all.
00:41:25.000But it's not just hypocritical because you go, oh you know what, maybe that state did it right and that state didn't.
00:41:32.000He's also not contesting the results in New York, to be clear.
00:41:38.000He's not only contesting states where he lost, we're only talking about states where there's verified evidence of nefarious activity, which again, you say does not exist.
00:41:46.000So someone watching this not understanding the contest goes, well it's hypocritical.
00:41:50.000No, no, no, no, he's not contesting all states, just the ones where we have verifiable proof of some bullshit.
00:41:56.000Again, to minority report this, the left is now being open about committing voter, I don't know, voter fraud!
00:42:48.000Now, I actually think this is more important because when people talk about Kamala Harris with a tiebreaker in the Senate, people don't realize the VP has a tiebreaking vote.
00:42:56.000But keep in mind that when we're talking about the number of Republicans in the Senate, it still is including Mitt Romney.
00:43:34.000He encouraged people to move to Georgia to vote in the runoff.
00:43:39.000Everybody moves to Georgia, you know, in the next month or two, registers to vote, and votes for these two Democratic senators.
00:43:47.000That guy looks like Dennis Farina banging someone who sells meatball sandwiches.
00:43:53.000It looks like a character of something.
00:43:56.000So that, and then I want to go through Andrew Yang, sorry, but Andrew Yang tweeted a similar strategy, let's call it, where he said, everyone who campaigned for Joe should get ready to head to Georgia.
00:44:31.000So his thing seems much more closer to what would be voter fraud.
00:44:35.000And it's not just fraud to go and do it, but to encourage someone or purchase their vote, which has been suggested that, oh, you could pay people to go down and cast their vote.
00:44:44.000Like Chelsea Handler with 50 Cent by offering him sexual favors to vote for Biden?
00:45:01.000But it would put a smile on their faces.
00:45:04.000But I will say, and this is something that's very important, is the fight isn't over with regards to this runoff.
00:45:09.000So when Andrew Yang is saying, hey, he's going to go there and help, and they're going to increase the number of people that are out there doing not ballot counting or ballot canvassing, but door-to-door vote canvassing to make sure that people are
00:45:42.000Well, by the way, just because I know it's different from state to state, a spokesperson for the Georgia Secretary of State's office, we're back to there, they oversee voter registrations.
00:45:49.000They did cite a state law that is a felony to vote in Georgia elections if you are not a legal resident or if you're just residing in the state briefly with the intention to vote and then move away.
00:45:59.000I was joking when I said that two days ago because I knew it was highly illegal.
00:46:04.000I thought it was so obviously illegal, like, you know, when I joke about, like, killing a hobo, throwing him in the Ozarks.
00:46:49.000Because it should just be based on the popular vote.
00:46:51.000That's what's best representative of Americans.
00:46:53.000You think that most representative of Georgians is a bunch of the Yang Gang moving into a timeshare, sleeping on beanbags so they can throw their vote and then go on their merry way?
00:47:58.000I mean, even the Wall Street Journal was publishing articles about how you could go and get established there.
00:48:03.000And the Georgia government has maintained, like, look, there is a process for which you would have to establish residency.
00:48:09.000But even if you do end up establishing residency, but your entire point was just to come in, establish residency, vote, and leave, that's still illegal.
00:48:17.000So it's not only, I mean, if you want to come in and work on a campaign, you can do that.
00:48:21.000And in fact, that's, I think, what Andrew Yang is trying to do versus Bushy McMeatballs.
00:48:28.000Go down there, do your vote, and then move away.
00:48:33.000Or just go down there, don't even establish a true residency.
00:48:35.000Because, for example, you could get a Georgia driver's license.
00:48:38.000So you have to give up your driver's license from another state, get it there, and go through those steps.
00:48:42.000There are a couple different ways to establish residency in Georgia, but you can't just go in, vote, and roll out.
00:48:48.000I just wish that I had the life of a complete lack of accountability, because I remember We were moving from Michigan to Texas, and I remember talking with my accountant, and asking about voting absentee, and I said, hey, we're talking about how we pay taxes, right?
00:49:01.000And he said, well, actually what you really would have to prove is that you are in this state for more than six months out of the year, so it relates to taxes, and specifically it relates to voting.
00:49:50.000So we wanted to say that government bureaucracy makes me sick, so I was going to drink Epicoc, but like 20 of us, and go into the DMV and just be vomiting uncontrollably.
00:49:59.000And it turns out that could technically be misconstrued as vandalism of federal property.
00:50:40.000Were you looking at your phone or were you just that disappointed?
00:50:42.000No, I was trying to see if there were any other sources that were also encouraging and there are a ton of people who are saying just move to Georgia.
00:50:58.000Like, when yesterday, I think it was yesterday, the Secretary of State was talking and they didn't show it, it was happening on their street.
00:51:07.000There's a level of blind where things are not voter fraud or they're not illegal but they're just clearly intended to game the system and thus immoral, right?
00:51:20.000And so I feel like we've only heard about this for every day of the last four years about one party being The moral party and the other one not.
00:51:28.000And now to say, well, we're just going to go ahead, get a bunch of people registered, have them all come here, say that they're staying, and then influence the election and essentially game the system to take the Senate.
00:51:40.000Okay, maybe you didn't do something illegal if you jumped through all the hoops, but you definitely did something wrong.
00:51:46.000Well, except the Secretary of State saying it is illegal in Georgia.
00:52:37.000But we do find it funny when the CNN gets burned down by the people.
00:52:40.000Fire doesn't go up a building, does it?
00:52:42.000They were reporting on it like please stop and then they found out that the reason and Pete
00:52:46.000Marauders were breaking down the building was because it was a police precinct in that same building
00:52:50.000Oh, yeah, just get that there in the second floor. Yeah, they don't even care about seeing
00:52:54.000Under his desk. It was a 50s bomb drill. Yeah, fire doesn't go up a building does it so we're safe on the fifth floor
00:53:01.000I have no idea. All right Listen, this is something else we have to get to.
00:53:04.000It's a long time coming, but this, right now, today or tomorrow, we will have officially surpassed the Young Turks on the YouTube as the number one independent news channel.
00:53:15.000all. Oh my goodness. Oh there it is. Yay. I can't drink from my mouth. So here's the deal. I thought this was going
00:53:51.000This was back on YouTube when there were no conservatives, right?
00:53:54.000There were no conservatives, it was all edgy atheists and liberals and Young Turks were sort of seen as, I guess, counterculture somehow.
00:54:01.000And they were actually going after me, and they actually went after my friend Lee Dorn, who at the time, he's a lawyer, who has a small channel of like 50,000 subscribers.
00:54:10.000So I remember thinking like, ooh, one day I'll show you.
00:55:09.000What matters is passing the Young Turks.
00:55:10.000And then I realized that doesn't really matter.
00:55:13.000And I told you, I made this promise to you guys, once we pass the Young Turks and overall subscribership, that I will no longer be using them as a source to rebut.
00:55:22.000I will no longer be making fun of them.
00:55:24.000I will, at the end of this show, retire once and for all my chain compression and my costume because I don't want to be a bully.
00:55:33.000This is kind of like right now it's like as a kid you know you imagine showing up to your bully and going back and telling him what's what and then he's got a potbelly and he's bald and he's divorced and like that's kind of what this is but I still have to do it.
00:55:48.000Because what happened was they attacked me early on and then what really bothered me, you understand, I was a little young kid when the Union assault happened in Lansing, Michigan.
00:55:57.000I'm giving you the saga of Stephen Crowd and the Young Turks.
00:55:59.000I had gigabytes of footage that I tried to submit to the local DA or the local police.
00:56:04.000They said that I couldn't submit it because I was no longer in Lansing.
00:56:07.000I didn't live in Lansing, which of course I found out later is untrue.
00:56:09.000So none of my evidence was submitted, but the Young Turks actually did a video claiming that they had watched the footage and I committed a crime, which the local district attorney used as evidence.
00:56:56.000And then after, when they did this, and the DA said, or I don't know if it was district attorney, if it was prosecuting attorney exactly, said, like, well, I watched from the Young Turks commentary, and it was pretty clear that Stephen had pushed the gentleman first.
00:57:08.000I didn't know what was happening, and I wasn't even there.
00:57:10.000Um, and my evidence had never been submitted.
00:57:12.000So I did upload this so you can see for yourself unedited two simultaneous angles of this assault footage, uh, which YouTube then labeled age inappropriate so no one could see it.
00:58:45.000And I remember this was the first time in my life where they had this huge platform, right, the Young Turks, and I felt very powerless because I was like, well, here, I'm going to upload the unedited footage.
01:00:21.000I don't even know if they were buddies, but the guy, that's where the bacon grease joke came from, because he would bring his own jar of bacon grease.
01:01:02.000So then what I did was I actually did a sketch as Cenk Uygur with all of the big YouTubers at the time, so like Alex Jones, Lauren Southern, Ben Shapiro, Milo Yiannopoulos, and I gave them the video.
01:01:11.000I said, just upload it to your own channel.
01:01:27.000They were speaking with an expert at Google who was like, what's this targeting pixel?
01:01:31.000I'm like, you don't even have to worry about that one.
01:01:34.000And of course they were rightfully furious because this, for a period in time, a glorious period in time, when you were to click and watch a Young Turks video, you saw one of these sketches as an ad before it.
01:01:45.000When you use the f-word, you know it's real talk.
01:02:19.000I keep in mind the context of that, which for people who might be... Dave Rubin worked for the Young Turks, left them, which already kind of grinded their gears, then had a pretty successful YouTube channel.
01:02:30.000I produced a video as Cenk Uygur with Dave Rubin, let Dave Rubin upload it to his channel, and then I also ran these as advertisements before Young Turks did.
01:02:39.000This is when they truly began to love you.
01:02:43.000And then I still, though, no response.
01:02:46.000We only would hear through the grapevine that they didn't like it.
01:02:47.000And then I was no longer allowed to run them as ads.
01:02:51.000And I really, really wanted to get my hands on Shane Weger, the Young Turks, and I couldn't.
01:02:57.000So this is probably one of the most cringe... I've talked about the most uncomfortable I've ever been in my life.
01:03:02.000And it was when I did this, and I'll give you the full story after this clip, but the only way that I thought I could actually physically be in the same room and engage in some kind of debate with Cenk Uygur was to crash a South by Southwest panel in Austin with Cenk Uygur as As Cenk Uygur, I apologize for the cringe.
01:04:39.000Was dressed up, I had actual bacon grease, because I had a jar that we kept our cooking grease, and I actually used it because I wanted to be, I wanted a Daniel Day-Dulis it, right?
01:04:47.000And I put it, and I'm waiting in the bathroom, and I had heard that Bill Nye was out in the hall for some reason, and I knew that I was going to, I think it was like Ballroom B in the Marriott, so I'm waiting in the bathroom, and then I get a text saying, crap, crap, crap, he's at the other Marriott.
01:05:48.000I have dressed up as actual women, and you copy-pasted your little hate speech there.
01:05:54.000And this, you may not know, the bacon grease, you know, I actually had to use bacon grease because, little known fact, like, Cenk Uygur, uh, he, he, he, everyone knows that, okay, he's a guy who likes to eat.
01:07:15.000And here's, and then the only time that in like I would say eight years the Young Turks actually ever addressed me publicly was of course a lie.
01:07:23.000And what it was was, I actually found this, this is really, and I know for some people maybe this is inside, but this is just, this kind of matters to me because it's sad.
01:07:32.000This is me saying goodbye to something that helped shape who I am.
01:07:37.000It was the Christine Blasey Ford saga, and it's an accomplishment.
01:07:40.000It's something that I hope is on my headstone, that I was called a garbage person by Anna Kasparian, where they lied and took a joke out of context and immediately lost tens of thousands of subscribers.
01:08:59.000But if you say anything or if you make a joke or something that you think could be taken out of context, just make sure you say it so that if people extend that clip 30 seconds in either direction, they go, oh, well, now I know what he's saying.
01:09:10.000That's a rule that I follow, and it's one that the young Turks, I guess, have never heard of.
01:09:36.000The attorney's story contradicts Ford's.
01:09:37.000An attorney that originally said Ford would testify is now, I think, saying that she's not going to testify, was put in retainer on August, at which point she took a lie detector test for an accusation she claims she was never going to make publicly at all.
01:09:47.000Should be noted investigators are saying that there is still the noted possibility of Ford being a dirty lying whore.
01:10:11.000And I think this is why they've lost so many viewers and it's kind of sad even though we've tallied up thirty-something, forty-something million dollars in investment.
01:11:23.000But I think they took it out of context because they don't want people to know, even though they've become social justice warriors today, their track record, the Young Turks, specifically of misogyny.
01:11:35.000the way that they treat women without irony.
01:16:10.000And so we actually considered at one point just making this show all of the content exclusive to Mug Club and earning a living, but like, well, you know what?
01:16:19.000I guess it's just an uphill battle where we'll never be able to have the kind of influence that the left would be able to have because there just isn't that ability.
01:16:25.000So that's an actual conversation that had taken place, and it was a real heart-to-heart that I had to have with even my wife, going, hey, you know that stuff that I really wanted to set out and accomplish?
