Louder with Crowder - 🔴 How Trump Buried Leftwing Media & Conspiracy Talk

00:00:00.000 *Music* Now I'm glad you called.

00:00:15.000 This is nice.

00:00:18.000 Yeah, I am too.

00:00:19.000 I really miss this.

00:00:23.000 Hey, Dad.

00:00:25.000 Remember when you scored all those touchdowns in the state championship game?

00:00:30.000 Yeah.

00:00:31.000 I love it, man.

00:00:32.000 I was really proud of you then.

00:00:35.000 Love you son.

00:00:36.000 Love you too.

00:00:39.000 But that's not how the reunion really went down.

00:00:42.000 You see, Timmy never played in that state championship.

00:00:46.000 He never even made the team.

00:00:48.000 You see, his parents suffered from crippling debt and skyrocketing inflation, and they were never able to buy that nice new house on the east side.

00:00:55.000 Their debt led to marital stress culminating in a messy divorce, leaving Timmy to raise himself while mom was working three jobs.

00:01:02.000 Let's see how the reunion actually went down.

00:01:09.000 Give me your phone and your wallet, old man. 0.95

00:01:11.000 I don't have anything on me.

00:01:12.000 Hurry up!

00:01:14.000 Timmy?

00:01:15.000 Is that you?

00:01:17.000 Dad?

00:01:18.000 Tim, I've missed you so much.

00:01:19.000 It's been 15 years.

00:01:22.000 I've missed you too. 0.99

00:01:24.000 Now give me your f***ing money. 1.00

00:01:46.000 Music by Ben Thede

00:02:16.000 Music by Ben Thede That was a solid 20 degrees.

00:02:32.000 Worked.

00:02:34.000 I had to stop with the hot beverages.

00:02:35.000 Glad to be with you.

00:02:36.000 We have a lot to get to this morning.

00:02:37.000 If it sounds like I'm moving quickly, it's because we have Alex Jones on the show today.

00:02:42.000 So we have him on the show.

00:02:43.000 And a good lead into that is, you know, people now are saying, hey, conspiracy theories are really just truth.

00:02:48.000 Add time.

00:02:50.000 So we're going to go through the top five conspiracy theories that have turned into reality.

00:02:54.000 Hold on, I have to adjust my headphones.

00:02:55.000 They're a little bit low.

00:02:55.000 I don't know why.

00:02:57.000 It's you.

00:02:58.000 So top five, in my opinion, and I would love for you to comment below, which conspiracy theory turned out to be true that had the biggest impact on you.

00:03:07.000 And by that I mean, did you start being more mistrustful of government?

00:03:11.000 Did you start giving more credence to quote unquote conspiracy theories?

00:03:15.000 And believe me, I'm not saying that because some conspiracies have proven to be true, that it means the earth is flat, we didn't land on the moon.

00:03:20.000 not what I'm saying.

00:03:21.000 And that's the sound of the comment section going nuts because of five Brigaders. 0.74

00:03:26.000 Can we talk about that?

00:03:28.000 We are also going to talk about Caitlin Clark, the basketball player.

00:03:32.000 Now she's trying to go woke. 0.99

00:03:34.000 She's bending the knee because she's afraid of the marauding, angry black lesbians, is my theory. 1.00

00:03:40.000 There's a lot of them. 1.00

00:03:41.000 And right now it's just a conspiracy theory.

00:03:42.000 But I bet you in five years it'll prove to be true. 0.99

00:03:44.000 She'll be like, yeah, I didn't want to get my ass beat. 1.00

00:03:47.000 More. 0.99

00:03:47.000 Or she got a new agent. 0.99

00:03:49.000 Yes.

00:03:50.000 We have some news to get to, too.

00:03:51.000 Just a morning news roundup this morning.

00:03:53.000 We are going to announce at the end of the show the brand new mug, Those Who Were Mug Club, now Rumble Premium.

00:03:58.000 We now have a co-promotion mug between Rumble Premium and Mug Club.

00:04:02.000 So, you know, the OG mug is gone, but we have a new one for you.

00:04:06.000 So, I think I got it all.

00:04:08.000 Captain Morgan, CEO, how are you?

00:04:09.000 I'm doing well.

00:04:09.000 How are you?

00:04:10.000 I'm fine.

00:04:10.000 Yeah.

00:04:11.000 This virus is going around the office.

00:04:12.000 It just kind of lingers, too.

00:04:13.000 I'm telling you, I think the clear has, like, I don't have any symptoms aside from I have a fever, but my nose is clear.

00:04:18.000 But I just have a fever at night.

00:04:19.000 I've done much better than my wife, but I use the clear all the time.

00:04:22.000 Well, that's because you keep checking her temperature.

00:04:24.000 And when you hear this...

00:04:25.000 She's hot! 1.00

00:04:29.000 It's Josh Feierstein, December 21st, Bricktown Comedy Club, one of my favorite comedy clubs in the country.

00:04:34.000 How are you, sir?

00:04:35.000 I'm good, I'm good.

00:04:36.000 I'd like to say a shout-out real quick.

00:04:37.000 My dad, it's his birthday today.

00:04:39.000 Happy birthday, Dad.

00:04:40.000 Aw, nice.

00:04:41.000 Somewhere in his 60s.

00:04:42.000 Oh, okay.

00:04:43.000 Well, I'm glad you did your research.

00:04:44.000 Yeah, you care.

00:04:45.000 Yeah.

00:04:46.000 Yeah, I love ya.

00:04:46.000 You're a good son.

00:04:48.000 Thank you.

00:04:49.000 Put a number up.

00:04:49.000 I'd like to hear it from him someday.

00:04:52.000 Well, that's not going to happen.

00:04:54.000 All right, Mr. Chapin.

00:04:55.000 A lot going on in the news, and we can't hit all of it.

00:05:00.000 You can comment.

00:05:00.000 You think Jay-Z did it?

00:05:02.000 Now, we'll talk about that tomorrow, because we're chasing down some leads there.

00:05:08.000 And by that, I mean, yes.

00:05:10.000 Now, you know what?

00:05:12.000 Let's just make sure we hit all the stories that we need to.

00:05:15.000 It's time for a morning news roundup.

00:05:17.000 Didn't know which way we wanted to go with that.

00:05:32.000 *laughter* It seemed too corporate.

00:05:34.000 Yeah.

00:05:34.000 We had to mess with it a little bit, yeah.

00:05:36.000 That's when we had a consultant come in who was working for News Corp.

00:05:39.000 He's like, you gotta do it this way!

00:05:40.000 Okay.

00:05:41.000 Oh, I get it.

00:05:42.000 You're just looking out for the folks.

00:05:43.000 Now, first story, the left-wing media has completely collapsed since the election.

00:05:49.000 Ratings are awful.

00:05:51.000 And I mean the kind of awful where if they were not working hand-in-hand with big government and big tech, they would no longer exist.

00:05:56.000 So MSNBC is down 22%.

00:05:59.000 They're primetime numbers just since October.

00:06:02.000 Fox is even down 16%, which is up 16%.

00:06:06.000 Sorry, I'm sorry.

00:06:07.000 Admonish me.

00:06:07.000 Admonish.

00:06:08.000 I meant to correct that because MSNBC, CNN down 13%.

00:06:12.000 Fox.

00:06:14.000 Admonish.

00:06:15.000 Admonish.

00:06:18.000 You're not supposed to enjoy it so much.

00:06:19.000 I don't know what happens.

00:06:21.000 It's almost as much as I enjoy you taking my temperature.

00:06:24.000 Which one's oral?

00:06:25.000 So, from the mouth, Ralph.

00:06:28.000 16% Fox News is up.

00:06:30.000 And these are just primetime numbers.

00:06:31.000 If you look at the overall numbers, they are absolutely abysmal.

00:06:34.000 Less than you watching right now because they measure it through a different system.

00:06:39.000 CNN, by the way, was so bad last week that it finished behind the Food Network.

00:06:47.000 Their primetime viewership was 360-something thousand viewers.

00:06:52.000 So to give you an idea, that number was worse than, yeah, the Food Network.

00:06:55.000 Also, the History Channel, HGTV, and Hallmark Mysteries.

00:07:01.000 Wait, wait, wait.

00:07:02.000 Hallmark Mysteries?

00:07:03.000 I thought they only did the cheesy Christmas movies.

00:07:05.000 I don't know, but either way, Melissa Joan Hart is getting a royalty check.

00:07:08.000 Oh my gosh.

00:07:09.000 That's true.

00:07:10.000 History Channel.

00:07:10.000 This is the place that, by the way, did a whole documentary on the veracity of mermaid claims.

00:07:18.000 And like 70 seasons of ancient aliens.

00:07:20.000 Yes.

00:07:21.000 By the way, I don't know if you know this, they're still hunting Hitler.

00:07:25.000 So, and this is, you know, this is one of those things that we've told you this.

00:07:29.000 When 2020 happened, that election, we watched it with you.

00:07:32.000 More of you signed up for Muckla.

00:07:35.000 More of you tuned in because you were galvanized, right?

00:07:37.000 That's the big difference between the right and the left.

00:07:39.000 The left, they're front runners.

00:07:41.000 If they don't see themselves as the big dog, they just, they deflate like a bully. 0.99

00:07:46.000 They're a bully. 0.50

00:07:47.000 Their bullying didn't work, and so now they've gone back into their cave. 0.97

00:07:52.000 They're scared.

00:07:53.000 They may regroup, but I don't know if they recover from this, and I also don't know what CNN expects when they're creating content like this.

00:08:01.000 I might be deported because I'm a naturalized citizen.

00:08:04.000 And Stephen Miller, who is Donald Trump's deputy chief of staff, has said that they're going to embark on a denaturalization program.

00:08:11.000 So I could be deported, my citizenship could be taken away, and my children could be deported.

00:08:17.000 Because they have birthright citizenship.

00:08:19.000 So this is not what the country voted for.

00:08:21.000 Let's be very clear.

00:08:23.000 Americans voted for Trump because of groceries, because of lowering costs.

00:08:27.000 He has not talked about that one bit.

00:08:30.000 What this country did not vote for is to deport the 11 million undocumented immigrants who do critical work for our economy, who have injected $7 trillion into our economy.

00:08:42.000 And what Americans want is a solution to immigration. 0.63

00:08:46.000 I'm sorry, did that walking pair of MC Hammer pants just say that Donald Trump never talked about immigration and deporting people?

00:08:56.000 Wrong.

00:08:57.000 I'm pretty sure that was a main tenant.

00:08:59.000 It was almost like it was an issue that he's been talking about since before he ran in 2016 and you called him racist and now he has overwhelming public support, including from Hispanic Americans to deport people.

00:09:11.000 And by the way, there's a huge difference between birthright citizenship where people go, oh, touchdown, baby.

00:09:15.000 Ah, isn't that great?

00:09:16.000 Now I have an anchor baby.

00:09:17.000 And going through the naturalization process where many of those people know more about the United States than people born here in this country.

00:09:24.000 I know quite a few Cuban Americans who came in, they are more proud to be American and they know more about civics than people here in this country.

00:09:31.000 So they try and expand this threat to something that's not real.

00:09:35.000 I don't think anyone's buying what they're selling.

00:09:36.000 It's not just that they're liberal, it's that they're dishonest.

00:09:39.000 What do you think even a liberal tunes in and thinks?

00:09:42.000 They go, okay, well, I agree with you, but wait, you just said Donald Trump didn't talk about deporting people. 0.97

00:09:47.000 You were complaining.

00:09:48.000 You told us we should all be afraid before the election because he was racist, going to deport people.

00:09:52.000 Even people who agree with CNN can't watch them anymore.

00:09:55.000 Here's another story.

00:09:56.000 The Daily Wire, actually, maybe up for sale, maybe not, was reported that Fox Corp was looking at acquiring some conservative or right-leaning podcasts like All In, Megyn Kelly, The Daily Wire.

00:10:11.000 I believe there was...

00:10:13.000 A statement that said, you know, Daily Wire is probably not up for sale, but it would be a billion to buy it.

00:10:18.000 So it said we're not closed off to an offer.

00:10:20.000 Jeremy Boring there, CEO, said it's easy to imagine a strategic partnership with Fox or someone like Fox that could be mutually beneficial.

00:10:28.000 I think that we complement Fox and don't compete with Fox.

00:10:32.000 Who knows?

00:10:33.000 I know Brett Cooper just left there, so there are a lot of shakeups happening right now in media.

00:10:37.000 Another big one, we'll have him on the show later, Alex Jones.

00:10:40.000 Just had a big win.

00:10:41.000 Yeah.

00:10:42.000 Yesterday.

00:10:43.000 And he's still been broadcasting.

00:10:45.000 Ever since.

00:10:45.000 So I think a lot of people don't understand how bankruptcy works.

00:10:48.000 Yeah.

00:10:49.000 Exactly.

00:10:49.000 They just think it means, oh, everything's shut down immediately.

00:10:51.000 You're going through a process.

00:10:53.000 This is obviously, this was a political witch hunt.

00:10:55.000 It'd be interesting.

00:10:55.000 I don't know if this could qualify for some kind of a pardon, but it would be fun.

00:11:00.000 Ha ha ha!

00:11:01.000 I don't think there's a bankruptcy pardon.

00:11:02.000 No, I know.

00:11:02.000 It's pretty funny.

00:11:03.000 I know.

00:11:03.000 Just something.

00:11:04.000 You know, step in and blackmail.

00:11:06.000 We're going to give him a billion dollars.

00:11:07.000 Yes.

00:11:09.000 Exactly.

00:11:09.000 Just reverse it.

00:11:10.000 So there was a judge who blocked The Onion, right?

00:11:13.000 The Onion wanted a purchase who has become increasingly left, The Onion.

00:11:16.000 As they have been split and sold and purchased, they went from a satire news site to becoming a parody of themselves, which allowed the Babylon Bee, the more reasonable version, to emerge.

00:11:28.000 That's how irrelevant The Onion has become.

00:11:29.000 Once upon a time, they were very funny.

00:11:30.000 They wanted to buy Alex Jones' Infowars.

00:11:34.000 Really, just as kind of a troll job, and a judge blocked it, which I believe we have a clip of Alex Jones.

00:11:41.000 Rolls out the same barrel his father used.

00:11:45.000 Sorry, it's easy to make that mistake.

00:11:47.000 Here's the clip.

00:11:48.000 Barrel-chested. 0.99

00:11:49.000 A U.S. judge on Tuesday stopped the paradigm to cite The Onion from buying conspiracy theorist Alex Jones' Infowars website...

00:11:57.000 At the end of a two-day hearing in Houston, bankruptcy judge Christopher Lopez rejected Jones' claim that the auction was plagued by collusion.

00:12:04.000 However, he ruled that a November bankruptcy auction did not result in the best possible bids because the trustee running the auction failed to encourage back-and-forth bidding between The Onion and a Jones-affiliated company, which was the runner-up.

00:12:18.000 So Alex actually addressed this on X this morning.

00:12:21.000 Which is just funny.

00:12:23.000 You don't think of Alex Jones as a morning guy, but his head pops off the pillow, and he's Alex Jones.

00:12:29.000 Like, at full tilt.

00:12:31.000 Yeah, immediately.

00:12:32.000 Coffee is not necessary.

00:12:33.000 I said I want a breakfast in bed!

00:12:36.000 I want to thank everyone who has stood with myself and the InfoWars crew as we weathered the total deep state assault in the last nine years.

00:12:42.000 I could not have done it without any of you.

00:12:45.000 I salute you.

00:12:46.000 Alexander Emrick Jones.

00:12:48.000 His middle name is Emrick.

00:12:49.000 Yeah.

00:12:50.000 That's cool.

00:12:50.000 Typically that's when people become assassins that we call them by their full name.

00:12:54.000 Yeah.

00:12:55.000 He's going to be joining us here at the end of the show to discuss the judges ruling the future of Infowars and, yeah, some conspiracies.

00:12:59.000 I don't know if Mission Control pulled that clip, the funniest clip from the courtroom drama that I just love.

00:13:03.000 They're still looking.

00:13:04.000 Yeah, they're looking.

00:13:06.000 He can't help himself but be Alex Jones.

00:13:08.000 Before we move on to Lily Phillips here, we did talk about this at the beginning of the show.

00:13:13.000 AmericanFinancing.net slash Crowder.

00:13:14.000 Let them help you save hundreds of dollars a month on average.

00:13:19.000 No upfront fees.

00:13:20.000 You can close in 10 days.

00:13:22.000 I've been through this process.

00:13:23.000 It is extremely difficult right now.

00:13:26.000 Make sure you have an expert in your corner.

00:13:28.000 Just go to AmericanFinancing.net.

00:13:32.000 The NMLS number is 182334, the number we always have to say for some unknown reason.

00:13:38.000 But they can still do pharmaceutical ads, so I don't know how it works.

00:13:41.000 Is it 182334?

00:13:43.000 Yeah, I think so.

00:13:45.000 Lily Phillips, what do you think, Josh?

00:13:48.000 Whoa, that's quick.

00:13:50.000 I think...

00:13:53.000 I don't know.

00:13:53.000 I don't have a segue.

00:13:54.000 I don't have anything nice to say.

00:13:57.000 My mom told me if I don't have anything nice to say. 1.00

00:13:58.000 This is human garbage. 0.98

00:14:00.000 Thank you, Vicky, for the assist. 0.98

00:14:02.000 So, look, and I want to be clear about this here.

00:14:06.000 We talked about this last week, and many of you tuned in and many of you sounded off.

00:14:09.000 Lily Phillips, right, she's the woman who is planning to sleep with a thousand guys in 24 hours. 1.00

00:14:15.000 Now, I know that it may seem like I was harsh on her, and I think it's deserved.

00:14:20.000 Because I think a lot of damage is done with this, certainly to young women.

00:14:24.000 I think the porn culture is damaging to young men, too, and we'll get to that.

00:14:30.000 If you look at a lot of the comments here, there was a recent documentary released when she, previously, she slept with 100 guys in 24 hours.

00:14:38.000 I think it's important as Christians for us to remember that, look, if we don't believe that people can be redeemed, and that doesn't mean that your past is erased, doesn't mean that it's not an indicator of future behavior, but if we don't believe that people can be redeemed, then we serve a useless God, right?

00:14:54.000 That's the entire basis of our faith.

00:14:58.000 Is confession, is redemption, and, you know, the fruits of the tree.

00:15:04.000 So, it does rub me, I would say, all of us here are the wrong women. 1.00

00:15:08.000 People, I get, you want to dunk on someone.

00:15:09.000 And yes, you need to showcase evil for what it is.

00:15:12.000 Especially when someone is promoting it to other people.

00:15:15.000 But to act as though this person cannot make better decisions moving forward, I don't necessarily think is helpful because then you close the door to what it is that hopefully we're all fighting for and striving toward in the first place.

00:15:26.000 So this week there was this documentary.

00:15:29.000 It's pretty heartbreaking.

00:15:30.000 And this is where you see, when the curtain is pulled back, you know what?

00:15:35.000 You would see the same kind of heartbreak.

00:15:38.000 For Fat Pride activists, for a lot of abortion activists, people shouting their abortion.

00:15:43.000 You see this with a lot of trans activists who then want to detransition.

00:15:47.000 You don't know how the story ends.

00:15:49.000 And in the media, we give the attention, or I should say the media does tend to give the attention to people in the middle of their biggest mistakes, because that gets the clicks.

00:16:00.000 And you don't tend to hear about either the redemption or the fallout.

00:16:06.000 The fractures that have taken place after through choosing that kind of a life.

00:16:10.000 So this is a portion of this documentary where Lily Phillips is talking about the first time she slept with 100 guys in 24 hours.

00:16:20.000 And my heart breaks for anyone who would follow her lead.

00:16:26.000 I think somehow I was like feeling so like robotic like by the I think like the 30th you know like when we're getting on a bit I've got like a routine of like how we're gonna do this and like it just sometimes you'd like disassociate and be like you know like it's not like normal like when they'd kind of be like oh like we've only had two minutes or three minutes and you said five on the message.

00:16:50.000 Did someone say that to you?

00:16:51.000 Yeah and obviously just makes it feel so bad.

00:16:55.000 Do you think you should feel bad about that?

00:16:58.000 I guess when you've promised something to people who support you, it's kind of hard to let them down.

00:17:06.000 But it's up to you, right?

00:17:08.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:17:09.000 I don't know if I'd recommend it.

00:17:11.000 Pause it really quickly.

00:17:12.000 I think if you're a different...

00:17:15.000 I don't think she's being disingenuous there.

00:17:17.000 There is a pathology for some people who have to actually be pleasers and really just crave acceptance often because they weren't given the kind of attention or usually healthy masculine love growing up where she feels bad for not allowing men who will never see her again or care about her.

00:17:38.000 They're mad because they don't get to penetrate her for all of five minutes. 0.98

00:17:42.000 Because she has to move on to the next man-whore. 1.00

00:17:46.000 So I want to be really clear here, too. 0.99

00:17:48.000 These men who take part are awful as well.

00:17:53.000 Let's just be really, really clear.

00:17:54.000 And of course she wouldn't recommend it.

00:17:55.000 Because she knows it's bad.

00:17:56.000 She won't say that when it's the veneer out there.

00:18:00.000 She's trying to say, no, this is my choice.

00:18:02.000 I'm proud.

00:18:02.000 She's not.

00:18:03.000 It's very clear she feels bad about it, and this is why she wouldn't recommend it.

00:18:06.000 Let's continue.

00:18:07.000 Different type of girl. 0.99

00:18:08.000 It's very like...

00:18:11.000 It's kind of like being a problem in a sense of like...

00:18:14.000 Kind of.

00:18:15.000 It's just a different...

00:18:15.000 It's exactly that.

00:18:19.000 ...feeling.

00:18:20.000 I don't know how to explain it, like... 0.92

00:18:21.000 It's not like just having s*** with someone. 0.96

00:18:25.000 Yeah, yeah. 0.98

00:18:26.000 Just one in, one out.

00:18:28.000 Like, it feels...

00:18:29.000 intense.

00:18:30.000 The word you're looking for is wrong.

00:18:32.000 Are you even processed?

00:18:32.000 Do you think what's happened?

00:18:35.000 Not yet.

00:18:37.000 God, I won't forget the stage users.

00:18:41.000 Everything is about feel.

00:18:43.000 Feel.

00:18:44.000 And this is why you don't follow your heart.

00:18:47.000 Because your heart can be easily led astray.

00:18:50.000 Your feelings cheat.

00:18:52.000 They lie to you all the time.

00:18:54.000 And sometimes you even feel conviction, and you can cheat by stuffing that down and convincing yourself that there's another reality.

00:19:03.000 That's true.

00:19:04.000 And so you see some of these posts on social from people saying, you got your 15 minutes, Lily Phillips, all it cost was your soul.

00:19:10.000 She has no soul left.

00:19:12.000 This shows how sick, and I agree, this shows how sick our society has become, but someone posting Lily Phillips will probably end up killing herself, if we're being honest.

00:19:20.000 Look, and I'm not one to ever, I'm not outraged, I'm not offended.

00:19:24.000 What I'm just saying is...

00:19:26.000 You do see some of these people now who don't include the pursuit of spreading the good news, the pursuit of people being redeemed and just want to dunk.

00:19:39.000 Yeah.

00:19:39.000 And you do.

00:19:39.000 There needs to be shame.

00:19:41.000 Because sometimes it's not about the person you're dealing with, it's about the people watching.

00:19:44.000 And if she's going out and she's saying this is my choice and it's a valid choice for everyone out there, yeah, yeah, that needs to be shut down.

00:19:51.000 But it also needs to be met with an alternative.

00:19:54.000 Yep, the first thing Jesus did was point out people's sin, and it was go and sin no more.

00:19:59.000 He didn't just hang out with sinners his whole life.

00:20:01.000 He said, you think if they were still prostitutes, if they were still tax collectors, and I love that tax collectors were put in the same class as prostitutes in the Bible, you think you would have been hanging out with them? 0.88

00:20:09.000 No. 0.79

00:20:10.000 No, but it doesn't mean that you revel In people destroying their life.

00:20:16.000 And a big part of this, just like we talked about with Jordan Neely, you see it manifests itself in different ways.

00:20:22.000 What about the parents?

00:20:23.000 Where are the parents?

00:20:25.000 And there's an argument right now where people are saying, I think she's lying here.

00:20:27.000 I don't think she is, which is even more troubling. 0.95

00:20:30.000 According to this woman, her parents are supportive of being a prostitute, to use her words. 0.93

00:20:39.000 What is your parents' deal? 0.99

00:20:42.000 No, they're like so, so proud.

00:20:44.000 Like, I generally have proof.

00:20:46.000 My dad texted me, like, literally yesterday, saying I'm so proud of you.

00:20:49.000 I love you so much.

00:20:50.000 Like, they're fully supportive and things like that.

00:20:52.000 My mum's actually, like, seen my OnlyFans.

00:20:54.000 She sees what I do.

00:20:56.000 To, like, a certain extent, not the videos.

00:20:58.000 Oh, yeah.

00:20:59.000 That must be a little uncomfortable.

00:21:01.000 I'm not, like, sending my mum the sex tapes, like, watch this.

00:21:04.000 Now, we were sitting here during the run-through going like, oh, I bet you they're not.

00:21:07.000 Some people thought that maybe she's lying.

00:21:08.000 I don't think she's lying.

00:21:09.000 I don't think she's lying.

00:21:11.000 And that's a real problem.

00:21:13.000 A lot of parents think that it's their job to just make their kids happy.

00:21:16.000 I just want my kids to be happy.

00:21:17.000 Well, of course you want your children to be happy.

00:21:19.000 Of course you want your sons and daughters to be happy, but that's not your only job.

00:21:22.000 Happiness is very different from purpose, fulfillment, pleasure, virtue.

00:21:27.000 These are different things.

00:21:28.000 You can have pleasure that's, again, disguised as happiness, but it doesn't mean anything, and it's very temporary.

00:21:35.000 You can be Happy, meaning you're getting pleasure, from going through the entire horizontal row of Oreos.

00:21:41.000 And then you can convince everyone that you're proud and people can be healthy at any body shape.

00:21:45.000 Guess what?

00:21:45.000 That's not actual fulfillment.

00:21:47.000 That's not true happiness.

00:21:49.000 I bet you people here, hey, it would bring you pleasure to sleep with every single Dallas Cowboys cheerleader. 1.00

00:21:54.000 I get it.

00:21:55.000 Some people are going to say not all of them, but the point remains.

00:21:58.000 But that wouldn't...

00:21:59.000 That wouldn't actually be fulfilling.

00:22:02.000 That would be a violation of myself.

00:22:05.000 When you have some parents, I just want them to be happy.

00:22:06.000 No.

00:22:07.000 Your job is to raise your children and prepare them for the world so that they don't make decisions just based on short-term happiness.

00:22:16.000 That's not the only job that you have as a parent.

00:22:18.000 You don't want them to be miserable, but you want them to find happiness To find fulfillment in things that are virtuous.

00:22:24.000 We used to understand that.

00:22:26.000 That's why we discipline children.

00:22:27.000 And it wasn't considered unloving to discipline your children.

00:22:31.000 Whether it's a timeout or, yeah, whether it's a spanking.

00:22:33.000 Why?

00:22:34.000 Because you know that that behavior is not going to ultimately lead to a happy life.

00:22:38.000 So I see this quite a bit.

00:22:40.000 I was just watching a Christmas story last night.

00:22:43.000 And I was seeing the dad.

00:22:44.000 We were like, getting back, Randy!

00:22:46.000 Then there's a scene where he's opening the Red Ryder BB gun and Darren, I think Darren McGavin was the name of the actor, is watching his son and he has this joy because he wants to make his son happy, that moment of happiness, but he also washes his mouth out with soap when he swears.

00:23:01.000 Why?

00:23:02.000 Because that's not how you behave.

00:23:03.000 We don't do that in this house because it's not right.

00:23:06.000 You need both if you love your children.

00:23:08.000 Saying, yeah, go bang a thousand guys makes you a bad parent.

00:23:14.000 And saying, yeah, and you know what?

00:23:15.000 Hold yourself out as a model for other women out there is really bad.

00:23:20.000 Before we get into this discussion, and I want to give the floor to you, Gerald, look, this is not inconsequential.

00:23:26.000 As far as being in porn, it's tied with higher suicide rates, depression, an astronomical drug overdose rate.

00:23:33.000 Incredible STD rates, right?

00:23:35.000 Ninety percent of porn stars have general herpes.

00:23:37.000 And then there's the dangers of consuming too much porn. 0.87

00:23:39.000 You have erectile dysfunction in people who are younger and younger. 0.64

00:23:43.000 You have increased rates of sexual violence. 0.99

00:23:45.000 You have premature ejaculation.

00:23:46.000 You have anxiety.

00:23:46.000 You have people who no longer are able to find sexual satisfaction in real relationships.

00:23:50.000 I'm not saying that thinking naked people Our beautiful is the same.

00:23:55.000 I'm talking about tab in a tab in a tab in a tab of a hardcore pornography. 0.75

00:23:58.000 And the people who advocate for pornography, they talk about this commercialized capitalist society and Instagram and the shortening attention span and how damaging it is.

00:24:06.000 For some reason, that all disappears when it comes to the world's greatest natural dopamine hit that we know of, which is sexual arousal. 0.99

00:24:16.000 And before you say hypocrite, yep. 0.97

00:24:18.000 Every guy here, I guarantee you, has either dabbled or watched a lot of pornography because it's 2024 and it's unavoidable. 0.98

00:24:25.000 You want to make that argument?

00:24:27.000 Okay, fine.

00:24:27.000 It doesn't mean that these points are any less true.

00:24:30.000 You have the floor.

00:24:32.000 And I agree.

00:24:33.000 It's really sad watching this this time.

00:24:36.000 Seeing this, I think, is just very heartbreaking.

00:24:39.000 As a father, I don't have any daughters, but as a father...

00:24:42.000 I'm thinking of my child and the time that I spent with them and then them going down this road.

00:24:46.000 You know that that road does not lead to life.

00:24:48.000 There's only death down that road.

00:24:50.000 And I don't mean necessarily just physically, though that could be a possibility because of depression and all kinds of things that can come from this, regret, inability to find happiness in the future.

00:25:00.000 It leads to all kinds of problems.

00:25:02.000 But what I want to encourage people to do is, and we do this the wrong way most of the time, and I don't mean we just like us on this show, I mean just in general.

00:25:09.000 We stick with the truth.

00:25:10.000 We're really good at telling people what the truth is.

00:25:12.000 That's the dunking part, right?

00:25:14.000 It's a terrible decision. 1.00

00:25:15.000 You're a terrible person. 1.00

00:25:16.000 This is the horrible thing that you're doing. 1.00

00:25:18.000 I can't believe you're doing it.

00:25:18.000 That's the truth.

00:25:19.000 But we don't have love that comes with it.

00:25:22.000 You need the truth and love.

00:25:23.000 In all of these situations, it's really easy to go after somebody and say, this is a horrible person.

00:25:27.000 But it's very hard to go, this is a horrible thing that this person is doing.

00:25:31.000 And I am going to now pray for this person.

00:25:33.000 I hope that there's redemption for this person.

00:25:35.000 I hope that there is an aha moment where this person goes, my goodness, I have gone down this terrible road.

00:25:40.000 I can't undo that, but I can at least turn away from that.

00:25:43.000 And we don't do a very good job of that.

00:25:45.000 And I think that's something that I'm sure I fall victim to online as well.

00:25:49.000 It's very easy just to dunk on people, but praying for people, praying for Joe Biden and Kamala Harris.

00:25:54.000 Praying for Nancy Pelosi.

00:25:55.000 Praying for people that you vehemently disagree with.

00:25:57.000 Praying for Putin to do better.

00:26:00.000 Praying for a dictator not to kill his.

00:26:02.000 I pray for Putin to get a bigger table.

00:26:03.000 There you go.

00:26:04.000 But he's already gotten that.

00:26:05.000 So, you know, prayer is answered.

00:26:06.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:26:07.000 I think that's the part that we miss in all of this.

00:26:10.000 And that's the heart that we have to find.

00:26:11.000 We have to find our soul.

00:26:13.000 Because guess what?

00:26:14.000 She may lose her soul like you said in this.

00:26:16.000 This may be something that she never turns away from.

00:26:18.000 But you might lose yours as well in condemning her and not ever bringing the love to the table.

00:26:24.000 So don't act like it's only on her.

00:26:27.000 The people out there spewing hate and nothing but hate and nothing but hate just to try to get some clicks. 1.00

00:26:32.000 Do you think you're any less of a whore? 1.00

00:26:34.000 You're not. 1.00

00:26:35.000 Also something else that I would add, too.

00:26:37.000 Yeah, I agree.

00:26:38.000 But I also understand people out there saying, this is going to be relevant to the future man that at some point she will want.

00:26:43.000 Absolutely.

00:26:44.000 I think that too many Christians are too soft. 1.00

00:26:46.000 Well, the Lord has thrown it as far as the eye.

00:26:50.000 You can't even see it.

00:26:51.000 That's not true.

00:26:52.000 God has.

00:26:53.000 It is relevant to her future relationships.

00:26:55.000 And this man, and yep, then you run into feminism, where this woman, who clearly didn't have a father, is going to need to, I'm going to get people mad at this, is going to need a man to train her. 1.00

00:27:05.000 And by that, meaning a man, if there is a man out there, it's unlikely, who actually loves her and is willing to do the work, she's going to have to trust him and follow him and submit to him because she doesn't know what she is doing.

00:27:16.000 But we can't do that anymore either because that's sexist.

00:27:18.000 Guess what she needs? 0.90

00:27:19.000 A little frickin' patriarchy. 0.91

00:27:22.000 That's what I mean. 0.81

00:27:23.000 Yes.

00:27:24.000 Well, she's in England.

00:27:25.000 Islam is everywhere, so let's go around the corner. 1.00

00:27:26.000 So anyways, that's that documentary out there.

00:27:28.000 Yeah, speaking of documentaries, I actually just got the footage of an audition I did over the weekend.

00:27:34.000 Really?

00:27:34.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:27:35.000 What movie?

00:27:36.000 Groundhog Day 2. They're finally redoing it.

00:27:38.000 Tim, do you have the footage?

00:27:39.000 Yeah.

00:27:40.000 Okay, so we're ready for the last audition for Groundhog Day 2. Is there a Josh Feuerstein out there?

00:27:50.000 Okay, I guess that's right. 1.00

00:27:51.000 Get you stupid girl off! 1.00

00:27:59.000 You can't even do that to me! 1.00

00:28:00.000 What are you gonna do, huh?

00:28:02.000 No, not the team!

00:28:03.000 NOT THE TEA!

00:28:05.000 Hi, I'm Josh.

00:28:13.000 NOOOOO! 1.00

00:28:15.000 *laughs* That might be why I have a sore throat.

00:28:19.000 Yeah, it might be.

00:28:19.000 You're the one who started this.

00:28:21.000 You're going to have to pay for that shirt.

00:28:22.000 Yeah, also the rabies shots for the office.

00:28:24.000 Off of a furball.

00:28:25.000 And right now, we are going to...

00:28:26.000 This is the first time announcing the unveiling of the new Rumble Premium mug.

00:28:31.000 So, we heard you.

00:28:32.000 We've been working on this.

00:28:33.000 You can bring it up there, tool man.

00:28:36.000 Boom! 0.99

00:28:36.000 Rumble Premium mug. 0.99

00:28:38.000 Here you go.

00:28:44.000 You can click that button below or ladderwithcrowder.com slash mugclub.

00:28:48.000 I don't know if we have Rumble Premium or just join on the Rumble channel, so Mug Club is Rumble Premium.

00:28:55.000 You add all the other content.

00:28:56.000 That's what supports Mug Club undercover.

00:29:01.000 Try it for $9.99 a month, but you only get the mug if you do the annual.

00:29:04.000 That's right.

00:29:05.000 You only get the mug if you do the annual.

00:29:06.000 Because it is expensive.

00:29:06.000 And we will email you.

00:29:08.000 So we've had to work on a new system to be able to claim your mug and do this.

00:29:11.000 It's taken us a little bit longer, so just be patient with us.

00:29:14.000 We'll email you.

00:29:14.000 You'll be able to go and get your mug and get everything taken care of.

00:29:17.000 It'll be fantastic.

00:29:18.000 And convert your mug club over there on Locals to Rumble Premium.

00:29:22.000 It's free.

00:29:22.000 There's a video up there where you just, boom, now you just watch on Rumble.

00:29:26.000 You never miss a thing.

00:29:27.000 You don't have to go off-site anymore.

00:29:29.000 It is so much more convenient.

00:29:30.000 You can watch on your TV, on an app, or, you know, whatever.

00:29:33.000 All right.

00:29:33.000 There you go.

00:29:34.000 Let's go to this really quickly before we get to conspiracies.

00:29:36.000 Caitlin Clark.

00:29:38.000 White girl. 0.99

00:29:42.000 Time named this broad her athlete of the year.

00:29:46.000 And then it went from like, oh, nice story to woke in record time, which brings us to Gerald No Sports.

00:29:52.000 All right, Gerald, I'm going to let you finish.

00:30:05.000 I'm gonna let you finish.

00:30:06.000 See, every time you say that...

00:30:07.000 But naming a woman Athlete of the Year is the silliest story of all time, but here you go. 0.97

00:30:14.000 And we're going to begin with the Athlete of the Year.

00:30:18.000 Past winners include legends like Simone Biles, LeBron James, Lionel Messi.

00:30:22.000 This year, they chose someone who truly changed the game in her sport.

00:30:27.000 Times 2024, Athlete of the Year is...

00:30:30.000 Caitlin Clark, obviously.

00:30:34.000 Obviously.

00:30:34.000 I don't know that it's obvious.

00:30:36.000 Obviously.

00:30:37.000 Obviously it's the lady who didn't make the Olympic team. 1.00

00:30:39.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:30:40.000 Yeah.

00:30:41.000 Oh, come on, Josh.

00:30:42.000 Look, this is an athlete, like if you're looking at it within her sport, having an impact on it, being kind of a cultural phenomenon, like there's all kinds of reason for that.

00:30:50.000 But look, instead of just kind of like taking this moment and enjoying this moment, Caitlin Clark did something that we tell people never to do.

00:30:57.000 Never try to appease the woke mob because they I came after her very hard. 1.00

00:31:00.000 And we've got a quote from what she said.

00:31:02.000 They were coming after her because she was a white woman. 1.00

00:31:04.000 And it's like, that's not bi.

00:31:05.000 She's popular, guys.

00:31:06.000 Read her quote.

00:31:07.000 Because she's really good.

00:31:08.000 So here's what she said.

00:31:09.000 I want to say that I've earned every single thing.

00:31:11.000 But as a white person, there's privilege. 1.00

00:31:12.000 Son of a bitch. 1.00

00:31:13.000 A lot of those players in the league that have been really good have been the black players. 1.00

00:31:18.000 The league has kind of been built by them.

00:31:21.000 The more we can elevate black women, that's going to be a beautiful thing. 1.00

00:31:24.000 Yeah.

00:31:25.000 It's actually built by the NBA. It's built by men. 0.90

00:31:29.000 It's built by charity because nobody really wants to watch the WNBA, so it had to be propped up for a little while.

00:31:35.000 Caitlin Clark, you've done a great job of bringing it around a little bit.

00:31:37.000 Of course, though, she's only kind of parroting...

00:31:40.000 Yeah, she feels that she has to now because the amount of pressure that she...

00:31:43.000 By the way, it's 70% black in the WNBA. I don't know the percentage of lesbians. 1.00

00:31:46.000 I would imagine similar.

00:31:48.000 A one-to-one ratio, I think?

00:31:50.000 Yes, and for those of you who don't...

00:31:51.000 This is...

00:31:52.000 This is the kind of rhetoric and, by the way, the kind of bows that she's... 1.00

00:31:56.000 ...to deal with.

00:32:00.000 Clark...

00:32:00.000 ...is called.

00:32:03.000 The question is, will they call it...

00:32:06.000 Unnecessary.

00:32:07.000 Check all those boxes, and she's straight, and she's white. 0.99

00:32:11.000 Yes, this all makes up for what is considered to be a marketing phenomenon for a lot of people.

00:32:19.000 Why did it take a Catelyn Clark for all of this to pop off in terms of the conversation?

00:32:24.000 Pause real quick.

00:32:26.000 Let me ask you this, Jamil. 0.98

00:32:29.000 How large of a market do you think there is for black lesbians? 1.00

00:32:33.000 Huge! 0.99

00:32:34.000 No, I mean, because she's white. 1.00

00:32:35.000 Yeah, the majority of the country is white.

00:32:39.000 Who do you think wants to watch black? 1.00

00:32:41.000 Let me be really clear with men's sports.

00:32:43.000 Race doesn't really matter. 0.94

00:32:44.000 Men watch men's sports because they want to see the best on earth.

00:32:46.000 That's it.

00:32:46.000 The whole reason my sports team is to say hopefully ours is the best in the country.

00:32:50.000 The best on earth.

00:32:51.000 Women don't tend to watch sports. 1.00

00:32:53.000 But how big of a market do you think there is for black lesbians? 1.00

00:32:57.000 Because the only people who want to watch black lesbians play basketball at a mediocre level. 1.00

00:33:01.000 I would imagine largely black lesbians. 1.00

00:33:03.000 You just answered your own question and you look stupid. 1.00

00:33:08.000 Let's continue. 1.00

00:33:10.000 And I know I'll go down the history.

00:33:11.000 I'll look back in 20 years and be like, yeah, the reason why we watching women's basketball is not just because of one person.

00:33:17.000 It's because of me, too, and I want y'all to realize that.

00:33:19.000 Caitlin's coming.

00:33:24.000 There's more than just that that are coming.

00:33:25.000 What will the league have in store for them when they get there?

00:33:29.000 Look, SVP, reality is coming.

00:33:35.000 Oh, yeah.

00:33:36.000 But I do think that she is more relatable to more people because she's white, because she's attractive. 1.00

00:33:43.000 And unfortunately, there still is that stigma against the LGBTQ plus community.

00:33:49.000 Yes, yes, the stigma.

00:33:51.000 Like, at what point do you go, hold on a second, hold on a second. 0.99

00:33:54.000 I don't give a rat's ass about your civil rights struggle anymore. 0.99

00:33:57.000 Okay, you guys can't, black people couldn't vote. 1.00

00:34:00.000 That's a bad one. 0.99

00:34:01.000 That's on us.

00:34:02.000 We get it.

00:34:02.000 But we corrected it.

00:34:03.000 Slavery, awful.

00:34:04.000 But it was fixed, right?

00:34:06.000 Talking about interracial, I get it.

00:34:08.000 I understand.

00:34:09.000 Okay, it was corrected.

00:34:10.000 And then you get to, even if you want to get to gays, can't marry, okay, fine, you make that argument. 0.96

00:34:14.000 But at this point, you're complaining because people are choosing not to watch a subsidized league of lesbian black basketball players? 0.92

00:34:24.000 Like, what do you think?

00:34:25.000 Clearly they're not being stopped.

00:34:27.000 There's no moment in that Disney movie like, let the black guy play ball! 1.00

00:34:32.000 It doesn't happen!

00:34:34.000 It's just, no one's watching it!

00:34:35.000 You know what the problem is?

00:34:36.000 It's not a stigma!

00:34:37.000 It's uninteresting!

00:34:38.000 It is uninteresting, and the problem is, it makes the news when a WNBA player dunks. 1.00

00:34:43.000 Yes!

00:34:44.000 Okay?

00:34:44.000 Yes, we talked about it here before.

00:34:45.000 I'm not talking about a good dunk, I'm talking like, oh no!

00:34:48.000 She got up!

00:34:49.000 It's like, oh, that's a groundbreaking moment.

00:34:51.000 Fantastic.

00:34:52.000 That's air butch. 0.98

00:34:52.000 There ain't nothing in the rules. 0.98

00:34:54.000 It is. 0.99

00:34:55.000 That says black lesbians can't dunk. 1.00

00:34:58.000 Look, Josh, I know that you and I have disagreed a little bit about this, and really, you don't even think she deserves the award at all. 0.99

00:35:06.000 No, because there's a lot of people who are more deserving, I think, and it just comes down to simple things.

00:35:12.000 Humor me, if you will.

00:35:14.000 Stephen, do you mind if we do a time travel thing?

00:35:16.000 And you be, 35 years in the future, you be Shohei Otani, I'll be your grandson.

00:35:23.000 Shohei Otani, you'll be like...

00:35:24.000 I'll be the grandson, you'll be Shohei Otani.

00:35:26.000 Okay, yeah, alright, yes, yes, I will.

00:35:27.000 well.

00:35:27.000 And we'll time travel into the future.

00:35:29.000 Grandpa Shohei?

00:35:42.000 No!

00:35:43.000 Wait!

00:35:44.000 Grandpa...

00:35:44.000 You...

00:35:46.000 Grandpa Shohei?

00:35:47.000 Wait!

00:35:49.000 Wait for Grandpa Shohei.

00:35:52.000 Grandpa Shohei?

00:35:53.000 Yes.

00:35:55.000 So you're saying in 2024 you signed the largest baseball contract in history and then bridged Japanese and American cultures by creating the most popular World Series broadcast, most watched of all time, and you hit 50 home runs, stole 50 bases, and won a World Series?

00:36:12.000 Hey, is it?

00:36:14.000 And you didn't win Time Magazine's Athlete of the Year?

00:36:17.000 No, no, no, no.

00:36:18.000 Well, then who won?

00:36:20.000 Great shame.

00:36:21.000 Who won, then?

00:36:23.000 Basketball player who cannot dunk.

00:36:27.000 Oh.

00:36:28.000 Yeah, great shame indeed, Grandpa.

00:36:31.000 Great shame indeed.

00:36:32.000 Yeah.

00:36:32.000 Your only option is Seppuku.

00:36:34.000 Seppuku.

00:36:36.000 Seppuku.

00:36:37.000 Seppuku, yeah.

00:36:38.000 Should I have rehearsed?

00:36:40.000 Alright, let's go back to it.

00:37:00.000 I'm sorry.

00:37:03.000 By the way, don't think that that's our pitch to join Rumble Premium.

00:37:05.000 That is not the best that we have.

00:37:08.000 I mean, not always.

00:37:09.000 As seen by the fact that I'm clearly still in the dark.

00:37:12.000 Yeah, Tim's working on it.

00:37:13.000 You get one of those every couple weeks.

00:37:15.000 Also, you know, it's also just the money.

00:37:16.000 Like, Caitlin Clark, the average game as far as viewership, 1.78 million.

00:37:21.000 WNBA, their average game was 394,000.

00:37:23.000 I mean, that's like the Hallmark Mysteries at that point.

00:37:25.000 And let's be really clear, too.

00:37:28.000 Appeasing the woke mob is futile.

00:37:29.000 It never works.

00:37:31.000 Every time it's taken place and someone has tried to...

00:37:34.000 Guess what?

00:37:34.000 They come for you, whether it's the Cuomos, whether it's...

00:37:37.000 I mean, I'm trying to think here as to who has done it at some point in time.

00:37:40.000 You saw it with Zuckerberg.

00:37:42.000 You saw it with Jack Dorsey.

00:37:43.000 I mean, you saw it with Jeff Bezos.

00:37:46.000 There's no way.

00:37:47.000 It just doesn't work.

00:37:48.000 Just be who you are.

00:37:50.000 Just say, you know what?

00:37:51.000 I'm really good.

00:37:53.000 Make yourself the heel.

00:37:54.000 Go, yep, I guess I'm like Brock Lesnar. 0.96

00:37:56.000 I'm a jacked white boy. 0.98

00:37:57.000 Deal with it. 0.92

00:37:58.000 Just say, I'm a good basketball player.

00:38:00.000 I'm white.

00:38:01.000 If that bothers people, all right, fine. 1.00

00:38:02.000 I'm sure there are a bunch of butch-cutted black lesbians who are pissed off about it. 1.00

00:38:06.000 Tune in. 1.00

00:38:06.000 Watch me smoke them. 1.00

00:38:08.000 That's it.

00:38:08.000 You don't really watch it otherwise.

00:38:10.000 And by the way, really great deals right now.

00:38:12.000 CrowderShop.com.

00:38:13.000 We've got a special.

00:38:14.000 You've got to go back up.

00:38:14.000 I can't see that.

00:38:16.000 Well, I just wanted to move on.

00:38:17.000 I know we have to move on.

00:38:18.000 But listen.

00:38:19.000 Just CrowderShop.com.

00:38:20.000 It's on the lower 30s.

00:38:20.000 Two shirts, two hats.

00:38:21.000 There you go.

00:38:22.000 Go today.

00:38:22.000 No promo code needed.

00:38:23.000 Let's go to this, because this is something that is big in our culture at large right now.

00:38:26.000 A lot of people feel as though, hold on a second, what else is not true?

00:38:32.000 Because what is yesterday's conspiracy theory is today's accepted historical fact, and we're going to have Alex Jones on in just a little bit.

00:38:40.000 Well, we just got a note on that.

00:38:42.000 He had a little bit of a legal thing.

00:38:44.000 Oh no, what happened?

00:38:45.000 He's okay.

00:38:46.000 Don't worry, but he's not going to be able to join us.

00:38:48.000 He's not going to be able to join us?

00:38:49.000 No, he's not.

00:38:50.000 He has a legal thing.

00:38:53.000 I'm sorry.

00:38:54.000 I just found out.

00:38:55.000 It's not a sketch, but just found out.

00:38:57.000 No, literally two seconds ago.

00:38:58.000 Do we have a quick be right back?

00:39:01.000 Don't we have an election?

00:39:02.000 Is there something we can put up for 20 seconds just so I can talk with Joe?

00:39:04.000 Because when I hear legal things, my blood pressure just shot up.

00:39:07.000 He's okay.

00:39:08.000 We're okay.

00:39:08.000 Nobody's going to die.

00:39:09.000 I'm just going to hit this dump button for a second.

00:39:10.000 Okay, dump button for just one second and I'm gonna find out what it is.

00:39:29.000 Alright, okay.

00:39:30.000 It's alright.

00:39:31.000 Maybe.

00:39:32.000 I just don't like how cryptic you are with things.

00:39:34.000 Well, I don't want to give away too much information.

00:39:37.000 You're not a magician.

00:39:39.000 Yes, exactly.

00:39:42.000 What's in the box?

00:39:44.000 Now can I tell people to go to crowdedchef.com?

00:39:46.000 Oh, ladies and gentlemen, the prestige!

00:39:48.000 Can I do it?

00:39:50.000 No, I want to get to the top five conspiracy theories.

00:39:53.000 So, yesterday's conspiracy theory is today's historical fact, right?

00:39:55.000 And I want to ask you, which one opened your eyes the most?

00:40:00.000 I've been through this.

00:40:01.000 Look, I've told you guys that I used to be more of a libertarian, and I certainly thought, ah, that sounds a little bit outlandish.

00:40:06.000 I tried to approach everything as skeptically as possible, and as logically as possible, and sometimes you kind of trap yourself with that, where you sort of look at the odds, and you go, that just seems like there's no way it could be true, So, let's go through this, actually.

00:40:24.000 Top five conspiracy theories, in my opinion, that turned out to be real in curious coincidences.

00:40:32.000 I think.

00:40:33.000 Maybe.

00:40:34.000 And the reason that these are important, too, is because they shape how we view foreign policy.

00:40:54.000 They shape how we view our government.

00:40:57.000 And the top one, number one, I will tell you, is actually not necessarily a conspiracy theory.

00:41:03.000 It's just something that most Americans didn't know.

00:41:04.000 And I found out later on.

00:41:06.000 I said, do we actually do that?

00:41:07.000 And it made me lose all trust in...

00:41:10.000 The virtuous nature of our government, which when I grew up I kind of believed to some degree.

00:41:16.000 Still a conservative, so I believe they should be limited.

00:41:17.000 All right, number five.

00:41:19.000 This is one that you've probably heard of.

00:41:21.000 The claim here is...

00:41:24.000 Well, the Gulf of Tonkin incident, right?

00:41:26.000 The claim was that August 4th, 1964, that the Vietnamese attacked a U.S. naval destroyer, right, the USS Maddox, in international waters, and that led to the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution, which involved the United States getting heavily involved in Vietnam, escalation, right?

00:41:41.000 So this was a big catalyst for it.

00:41:43.000 Like, oh my gosh, this is basically them declaring war on us.

00:41:47.000 Here's the truth.

00:41:49.000 The United States government claim was untrue.

00:41:54.000 As far as the attack.

00:41:55.000 So the conspiracy was, that was effectively a false flag, and now the left tries to gaslight you and say, oh, the term false flag, or you're using that, you don't believe that shootings happen?

00:42:03.000 No, no, no.

00:42:04.000 This was a false flag in that it was orchestrated, or the claim, by the United States government. 1.00

00:42:09.000 There was collusion, and there was skepticism right away from naval officers, even President Johnson, who stated, hell, those damn stupid sailors were just shooting at flying fish. 1.00

00:42:18.000 LAUGHTER And in 2005... 1.00

00:42:23.000 So you're going back to the Vietnam War.

00:42:25.000 You're going back to the 1960s.

00:42:28.000 And then in 2005, it finally gets verified.

00:42:31.000 And they go, oh, okay, yeah, that's true.

00:42:32.000 It was a false flag event.

00:42:33.000 41 years later, it's fine.

00:42:35.000 Hey, imagine if you find out 40 years from now that, I don't know, let's just...

00:42:41.000 And I'm not saying this is the case.

00:42:43.000 Vegas shooting was a false flag event.

00:42:46.000 I'm not saying that it was.

00:42:47.000 I'm just giving you...

00:42:49.000 Do you understand that there were laws that were changed?

00:42:51.000 State laws in relation to that?

00:42:53.000 Whether it's bump stocks?

00:42:54.000 Taking something less consequential than the Vietnam War.

00:42:58.000 You guys want to talk about time?

00:43:00.000 What kind of alternate reality do you think we split off into if people didn't actually believe that?

00:43:04.000 If it had been questioned at that point, if voices of dissent had not been stifled and silenced?

00:43:09.000 Number four.

00:43:10.000 I hadn't heard this one, by the way.

00:43:11.000 The Gulf of Tunkin?

00:43:11.000 No, I hadn't heard that it...

00:43:13.000 So wasn't it the second attack that they were talking about?

00:43:15.000 The second attack.

00:43:16.000 So the first attack...

00:43:17.000 The first attack was very small.

00:43:18.000 It was small, and it may not have been where they said it was, maybe not in international waters, which makes a difference, I guess, to some degree.

00:43:23.000 But I had no idea the second one was just like basically, it almost seems like, hey, deep state, let's go to war.

00:43:29.000 Yeah.

00:43:29.000 Let's figure out a way to get in.

00:43:31.000 And in 2005, when they finally verified it as a false flag, that's, I mean, Vietnam veterans are still alive.

00:43:36.000 Yeah.

00:43:36.000 I mean, they're lively.

00:43:38.000 They're spry.

00:43:38.000 Yeah.

00:43:39.000 We had the draft because of this.

00:43:40.000 They're watching this and going, yeah, exactly.

00:43:42.000 Some people were forced into this war, watched their best friends die right next to them.

00:43:45.000 Yep.

00:43:45.000 And then they're going, oh...

00:43:47.000 Thanks.

00:43:48.000 How's my VA claim doing?

00:43:50.000 Right.

00:43:50.000 Yeah.

00:43:51.000 It dictates how we live now.

00:43:53.000 We got hippies because of this. 0.95

00:43:54.000 Son of a gun! 0.67

00:43:56.000 It's true. 1.00

00:43:57.000 You bastards! 1.00

00:43:57.000 And by the way, all the references are available. 1.00

00:43:59.000 Link in the description, livewithcredit.com.

00:44:01.000 We do that every day.

00:44:01.000 It's very important with these because I also know people can go down a rabbit hole and then say, well, then nothing is true.

00:44:06.000 You know, gravity is not real.

00:44:07.000 That's not what we're saying.

00:44:08.000 Test it out.

00:44:10.000 Find a building, test it out, let us know how it goes.

00:44:12.000 One story.

00:44:13.000 Conspiracy theory number four.

00:44:15.000 Epstein Island.

00:44:16.000 So here's what the left will do.

00:44:18.000 They'll take something that maybe is false, that's similar, like some of the lore surrounding Pizzagate, right?

00:44:25.000 Remember that?

00:44:25.000 And they go, see, you can't reason with these people on the right.

00:44:30.000 They think there's some kind of secret cabal run by political elite who are sexually trafficking or abusing children and minors.

00:44:39.000 That's what they did.

00:44:39.000 That was their claim.

00:44:41.000 There's no way this could happen.

00:44:42.000 Well, here's a refresher.

00:44:43.000 So where did this conspiracy theory start?

00:44:46.000 Apparently, some alt-right folks were combing through Clinton campaign emails hacked by Russia and published by WikiLeaks.

00:44:53.000 And notice there seems to be more references to pizza and pizzerias than they had expected.

00:44:59.000 Which can only mean one thing. 0.87

00:45:02.000 Secret sex ring.

00:45:04.000 There's a difference between a conspiracy and an agreement.

00:45:07.000 A conspiracy is what villains do.

00:45:11.000 An agreement is what adults do.

00:45:13.000 Look around the country.

00:45:15.000 Wouldn't you agree we need some more adults? 0.96

00:45:18.000 So WikiLeaks, Alex Jones, and the subreddit subgeniuses, and I mean this in the nicest way possible, grow the f*** up. 0.99

00:45:35.000 You know who needed some adults would probably be those underage sex slaves at Epstein Island. 0.96

00:45:40.000 And not only was no one reporting on it, but it was actually being buried when reporters tried to shine a light on it.

00:45:46.000 I bet you they really would have liked some adults, Mr. White Knight.

00:45:49.000 Yeah, I know what you're talking about.

00:45:50.000 You don't like the fact that people on subreddits may have some theories that are incorrect.

00:45:55.000 But to simply dismiss all of it while people are being sex trafficked, I don't know if you get to shout from your ivory tower, get up on your high horse.

00:46:03.000 So this is where we were, right?

00:46:04.000 Ten years ago.

00:46:06.000 Epstein Island.

00:46:07.000 It was basically a conspiracy theory.

00:46:09.000 Alex Jones only.

00:46:09.000 That's what we were told.

00:46:11.000 Right-wing conspiracy about all the sex cabals.

00:46:14.000 They put it all in one big pile.

00:46:17.000 And the media, at that point, still gushed over Epstein, I would imagine, because of his powerful friends.

00:46:21.000 Here's a 2003 Vanity Fair piece.

00:46:23.000 My iPad is going absolutely nuts.

00:46:25.000 What's happening?

00:46:26.000 There's a Siri thing?

00:46:27.000 It is. 1.00

00:46:28.000 You're screwed. 0.99

00:46:29.000 Stop it, Siri. 1.00

00:46:30.000 Don't say the name!

00:46:32.000 It started listening when you said Epstein.

00:46:34.000 Did you notice that?

00:46:36.000 Yeah, it did.

00:46:37.000 So for guys that you can see, I have here, I don't really have prompter, I just have an iPad with notes when I read these quotes, and when we just mentioned Epstein, I'm not joking.

00:46:45.000 No, no, no.

00:46:47.000 When you mentioned Alex Jones again, it finally came on.

00:46:50.000 Yeah, it just came on.

00:46:51.000 Am I going to get arrested?

00:46:53.000 I don't know.

00:46:56.000 Probably, let's be honest.

00:46:58.000 I think Alex has your iPad text.

00:46:59.000 All I know is this shirt is more relevant today than ever, and every day I get to say that.

00:47:04.000 Like, every new day, I'm like, yep, he was right on more stuff.

00:47:06.000 So it's not only that no one had an interest.

00:47:09.000 There were people behind the scenes, and yes, Alex Jones saying, this is going on.

00:47:12.000 And then you had people like Colbert out there going, let's be adults.

00:47:15.000 I just hate the evil of the left. 0.96

00:47:17.000 It is evil.

00:47:18.000 Remember they go, look, they want you to fear open borders that they say they're not bringing their best.

00:47:23.000 Donald Trump says they're not saying that. 0.58

00:47:25.000 Racist.

00:47:25.000 Hold on a second.

00:47:27.000 What about the sex traffickers?

00:47:29.000 Do you realize there are more slaves right now on earth?

00:47:33.000 Than ever in recorded history.

00:47:35.000 It's over 40 million.

00:47:35.000 You know that, right?

00:47:37.000 And a huge portion of them are sex slaves. 0.99

00:47:38.000 You know that. 1.00

00:47:39.000 More slaves right now on Earth.

00:47:41.000 Total number than in recorded history.

00:47:43.000 And you want to tell us to grow up?

00:47:44.000 You're going to condemn the people who are trying to track down leads to figure out who's trafficking some of these sex slaves?

00:47:51.000 Grow up.

00:47:52.000 Maybe it's not a pizza parlor.

00:47:53.000 Maybe it's a whole godforsaken island.

00:47:57.000 And the media not only didn't cover it, They're writing puff pieces about Epstein.

00:48:02.000 2003, Vanity Fair.

00:48:03.000 It's titled, The Talented Mr. Epstein.

00:48:06.000 Well, hold on.

00:48:07.000 I hated that Disney movie.

00:48:08.000 I was about to say, isn't that kind of a bad thing to do?

00:48:10.000 Because wasn't the talented Mr. Ripley like a killer?

00:48:12.000 Yeah, but if you read the piece, it's relatively flattering.

00:48:15.000 But hold on.

00:48:16.000 Didn't Tim, did you say there was a picture of Colbert?

00:48:19.000 I don't have it, but yeah, I'm pretty sure there's a picture of him at Comic-Con.

00:48:22.000 What are you saying, though?

00:48:24.000 That he was at the place that he's...

00:48:27.000 No, no, I understand, but what are you saying?

00:48:28.000 Just stop it.

00:48:28.000 Let's not derail it.

00:48:29.000 Yeah, thanks for derailing the segment, Gerald.

00:48:31.000 That's real great.

00:48:32.000 You're welcome.

00:48:33.000 Keep producing.

00:48:34.000 Here's the truth.

00:48:38.000 There was a sex island.

00:48:39.000 I'm sure you guys know that.

00:48:41.000 We learned that in 2019. It's like, hey, adults have entered the building.

00:48:45.000 Hey, there's a sex island here! 1.00

00:48:48.000 Did he ever say sorry? 0.89

00:48:49.000 Did he ever apologize?

00:48:50.000 No.

00:48:51.000 No, none of these people did.

00:48:52.000 If they say sorry, apparently you were all growing the F up.

00:48:55.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:48:55.000 And by the way, this is the same media who buried the Clinton-Lewinsky scandal.

00:48:59.000 Remember, that's how Drudge came to be, because every single major media outlet passed on it, because they were doing the bidding of Bill Clinton.

00:49:06.000 And, um...

00:49:07.000 A lot of powerful people.

00:49:09.000 I mean, you have, obviously, the Clintons.

00:49:11.000 You have a long list of people.

00:49:12.000 It's always weird when you see a flight with Bill Clinton, Kevin Spacey, and Chris Tucker.

00:49:16.000 That's an odd combination, but I don't know if they went to the island.

00:49:19.000 Chris Rock, Chris Tucker?

00:49:20.000 It was Chris Tucker.

00:49:20.000 Tucker?

00:49:21.000 Chris Tucker.

00:49:21.000 Don't touch his radio.

00:49:22.000 Yeah, it was Chris Tucker, Bill Clinton, and Kevin Spacey on the same plane quite a few times.

00:49:26.000 I don't think they were doing anything, but just to be clear.

00:49:28.000 I love Chris Tucker's interview.

00:49:30.000 It is definitely a real place.

00:49:31.000 And, by the way, a lot of people here probably...

00:49:34.000 It's...

00:49:36.000 It's well documented on camera, this place.

00:49:40.000 Oh.

00:49:43.000 Hey! 0.99

00:49:44.000 That's why he's mad.

00:49:46.000 Let's go to conspiracy here, number three.

00:49:50.000 There are quite a few.

00:49:52.000 There are sub-conspiracies, right, that have proven to be true with COVID. Again, all references available.

00:49:56.000 The Claim!

00:49:58.000 That COVID was a natural virus that mutated and absolutely was not from a lab.

00:50:05.000 You were banned if you insinuated it.

00:50:07.000 We were removed from social media platforms because we stated it.

00:50:11.000 If you were an expert, even more of these to say, well, are you an epidemiologist?

00:50:16.000 Well, no, I'm not, but there are plenty of epidemiologists who actually say there's no way that this virus occurs in nature, but they were removed.

00:50:22.000 Because your government's looking out for you.

00:50:23.000 And now we get to the truth.

00:50:26.000 The House subcommittee, just this month confirmed, came from a lab.

00:50:32.000 how many years later?

00:50:33.000 Hey, does that change how we handle COVID?

00:50:36.000 Hey, let me ask you this.

00:50:37.000 Does that change how we handle COVID if we know that it could have been bioengineered?

00:50:39.000 Does it change the fact that the media said Donald Trump was a racist when he called it the China virus?

00:50:46.000 In other words, at that point in time, would you be less concerned with him pointing the finger at China, which I don't even know how that's racist, and more concerned with the nation, an adversarial nation, who potentially engineered it and released it?

00:50:59.000 Do you think it changes not only perception, but the next step we take moving forward?

00:51:05.000 That's why the press, when they do the bidding of the government, is the enemy of a free and informed people.

00:51:12.000 Another claim as it relates to COVID, right?

00:51:15.000 They just insisted at this point in time that lockdowns We're needed to stop the spread of COVID. And so many people believe this.

00:51:22.000 Even conservatives were calling me when we did two-a-days during the lockdown saying, you can't do that.

00:51:25.000 It's irresponsible.

00:51:25.000 Everyone's going to die.

00:51:26.000 I was like, meh, I'll chance it.

00:51:30.000 He loves us.

00:51:31.000 He really loves us.

00:51:32.000 And he only lost four people.

00:51:34.000 Yeah.

00:51:35.000 There were four that I wanted to lose.

00:51:37.000 So...

00:51:38.000 And this is all under trust the science, trust the science, the science.

00:51:41.000 And the science likely came from a bat sandwich at a wet market to this can live on surfaces. 0.95

00:51:48.000 Remember everyone was sanitizing their packages.

00:51:51.000 UPS packages?

00:51:52.000 Come on! 0.61

00:51:52.000 UPS packages. 0.61

00:51:54.000 Pickleball became popular because literally they would keep pickleball courts open in Nevada because you could clean the ball and you couldn't clean a tennis ball.

00:52:01.000 That's a big reason that pickleball became very popular.

00:52:03.000 That's how crazy we were at that point in time.

00:52:08.000 Then trust the science went to, and of course we have to lock down, of course we have to shut down businesses, and we have to shut down local markets, but keep Walmarts and keep Costco's open.

00:52:16.000 We have to shut down plant nurseries, but keep weed shops open in Michigan.

00:52:19.000 This was all trust the science, the lockdowns.

00:52:23.000 That is science.

00:52:24.000 And let me tell you this, too.

00:52:25.000 You know when I really knew it was BS? Was when Fauci said, don't try and make hand sanitizer at home because it doesn't work with liquor at home.

00:52:35.000 And I said it on the show, I said, no, no, what he means to say is it doesn't work if it's vodka, if it's 40% alcohol.

00:52:40.000 Because you need about 60% alcohol.

00:52:42.000 Hey, guess what?

00:52:42.000 You can buy Everclear.

00:52:44.000 Or you can buy cask-strength bourbon and dilute it to 60% alcohol.

00:52:47.000 And then what happened when we needed more sanitizer?

00:52:49.000 Guess where it came from?

00:52:51.000 Distilleries.

00:52:53.000 I told you this when Fauci came out and said, you cannot make hand sanitizer at home.

00:52:57.000 I said, yep, I'm not a scientist.

00:52:58.000 Showed you the science.

00:52:59.000 As long as you have 60% alcohol and some way to create friction here, you will be able to use it as a sanitizer.

00:53:08.000 I wasn't a scientist.

00:53:09.000 Trust the science.

00:53:10.000 And these same guys said, lockdown.

00:53:11.000 Hey, think it would have helped you if you could have gone and purchased some alcohol and made hand sanitizer at that point in time?

00:53:18.000 Maybe?

00:53:19.000 Here's the truth.

00:53:22.000 We now know that authorities knew at that time when they were telling you this.

00:53:26.000 Lockdowns were going to be catastrophic.

00:53:28.000 They would hurt the economy.

00:53:30.000 They would hurt our health, first and foremost, and school children, and that it had no actual effect on the spread.

00:53:36.000 We know that now.

00:53:36.000 They knew it then.

00:53:38.000 They knew it then.

00:53:39.000 The science knew it then.

00:53:41.000 They certainly knew the ramifications.

00:53:43.000 They certainly knew the negative outcomes.

00:53:44.000 They didn't know that it would have no effect.

00:53:47.000 They knew it would probably have a negligible effect.

00:53:50.000 They did it anyway.

00:53:52.000 Hope it was worth it.

00:53:53.000 For those of you who have children who didn't go to school for two years, they're just conspiracy theorists.

00:54:00.000 We need adults in the room.

00:54:01.000 Right, Colbert?

00:54:03.000 And by the way, you know how you know it's true?

00:54:05.000 Not just the sources, the empirical that we provide for you, but yeah, in this case the anecdotal is also quite substantiating.

00:54:11.000 The Varma story that we covered.

00:54:13.000 Remember, he was the COVID architect in New York.

00:54:16.000 He was locking people down.

00:54:18.000 You and your children couldn't go to school while he was having sex parties and strong-arming everyone to get vaccinated.

00:54:25.000 I actually was the one who convinced the mayor to make it a man group. 0.86

00:54:29.000 Like, New York City found out that you were having sex partings during COVID? Yeah. 0.86

00:54:33.000 It would've been a big deal.

00:54:35.000 Yeah, it would've been a real deal.

00:54:36.000 We went to some underground dance party underneath the bank in Wall Street.

00:54:41.000 And we were all rolling, we were all taking Mali, and everybody's high, and I was so happy. 0.97

00:54:46.000 Because I hadn't done that in like a year and a half, like a year or whatever.

00:54:50.000 But I was looking around being like, what are we going to be seasoned?

00:54:54.000 Because this was not COVID-19.

00:54:56.000 So the way we do it in public health is we make it very uncomfortable to be unvaccinated.

00:55:02.000 I don't expect the education to change your behavior.

00:55:04.000 I'm just going to make it really hard for you to do your job.

00:55:07.000 You can't get a job.

00:55:08.000 You can't go to a restaurant. 0.99

00:55:10.000 If you can't go to school, it's like, f*** it, I'm just going to get vaccinated. 0.72

00:55:13.000 So was it technically, like, kind of forcing people?

00:55:16.000 Yeah.

00:55:17.000 You force people by making them really uncomfortable.

00:55:22.000 And who knows the level of STDs at those pharma sex parties.

00:55:27.000 Luckily, it was all actually documented on camera.

00:55:30.000 That makes sense.

00:55:32.000 That makes double sense.

00:55:33.000 I never hold a glass like that.

00:55:34.000 That's not true.

00:55:36.000 That's where they got their molly. 0.94

00:55:37.000 Sigh.

00:55:38.000 Keep rolling, rolling.

00:55:40.000 Sensing a theme.

00:55:41.000 And we all had to live through this.

00:55:43.000 COVID is probably the biggest awakening that I've seen in the public.

00:55:48.000 Here's one to me that is absolutely insane that no one is talking about more.

00:55:52.000 This is number two.

00:55:54.000 The claim.

00:55:57.000 And you see this a lot.

00:55:59.000 And people just accept it.

00:56:01.000 I will say this.

00:56:02.000 This one is so pervasive that it's actually the premise of how we run government.

00:56:08.000 We absolutely need every dollar that we spend right now.

00:56:12.000 There's nothing we can sacrifice.

00:56:13.000 What do you want to do?

00:56:14.000 You don't want roads?

00:56:15.000 You don't want firefighting services?

00:56:17.000 What?

00:56:17.000 You don't want a military?

00:56:17.000 That's what you hear if ever you go, hey, is there any way that we could trim anything back?

00:56:20.000 It seems like our debt's kind of ballooning here.

00:56:23.000 They tell you every single dime that we have now, we absolutely need, and we need more.

00:56:30.000 That's the claim.

00:56:33.000 Oh, which one is it?

00:56:34.000 There we go, Mike.

00:56:35.000 Yes, indeed, the goose is getting fat.

00:56:37.000 We have a big bill here because we have big needs for our country.

00:56:41.000 For the well-being of our troops, for the preservation of our national security, for the tens of millions of Americans who look to the federal government for a wide range of basic services, Democrats and Republicans must work together to fully fund The federal government.

00:56:58.000 For our country, Madam Speaker, and our communities in the long term, Congress must enact an omnibus funding package.

00:57:05.000 Oh, okay.

00:57:06.000 Well, we need that money.

00:57:08.000 That's always what you need.

00:57:08.000 Gotta have it.

00:57:09.000 Oh, yeah.

00:57:09.000 Well, do you believe in roads?

00:57:10.000 For the children.

00:57:11.000 Then you believe in socialism.

00:57:12.000 Yeah.

00:57:12.000 Here's the truth.

00:57:13.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:57:14.000 Okay?

00:57:14.000 Not only do they not need all those dollars, but the new Government Accountability Office report, okay?

00:57:20.000 Uh...

00:57:22.000 This is not in doubt.

00:57:25.000 The only portion that's in debate is how bad it is in any given year.

00:57:31.000 But at the bare minimum, in any given year, the amount of fraud, meaning money that we have no idea where it is, how it's been used, or where to track it.

00:57:40.000 $233 billion to $500 billion a year just from 2018 to 2023 alone.

00:57:49.000 That's just federally too, isn't it?

00:57:51.000 Yep.

00:57:53.000 Let's round it.

00:57:54.000 $400 billion a year.

00:57:56.000 This is like ghost money.

00:57:58.000 I'm not saying people go, oh, it looks like maybe actually this wasn't used appropriately.

00:58:02.000 Money that can't actually be tracked.

00:58:05.000 We don't know where it is.

00:58:06.000 So let's call that $400 billion.

00:58:08.000 Hey, you don't think that just starting with that, we could trim $1.5 trillion easily from the budget?

00:58:16.000 That would be a gimme. 0.99

00:58:17.000 Just bring forward the shrimp on a treadmill and that kind of shit. 0.99

00:58:20.000 All of that. 0.99

00:58:21.000 Bring it forward.

00:58:22.000 $500 billion?

00:58:23.000 We don't know where it is?

00:58:26.000 That's insane.

00:58:27.000 Do you have any idea what you are paying in taxes?

00:58:31.000 Picture all of your taxes.

00:58:33.000 Just disappeared.

00:58:35.000 You think, I pay my taxes, great, it's gone.

00:58:38.000 Now, it's gone.

00:58:39.000 $500 billion a year.

00:58:40.000 And they want us to believe that we absolutely cannot do without 100% of this budget.

00:58:47.000 It's not a conspiracy.

00:58:49.000 This is unilaterally agreed upon and proven.

00:58:54.000 And to me, that's probably the worst one just because that's the basis of our government.

00:58:58.000 When we sit down and have a vote, it's how much more are we going to spend?

00:59:00.000 Very rarely cut.

00:59:01.000 Yeah.

00:59:02.000 It's not even including waste.

00:59:03.000 Like, projects that we shouldn't be spending money on.

00:59:06.000 Right.

00:59:06.000 Just strictly fraud.

00:59:07.000 Yeah.

00:59:07.000 That's somebody defrauding us.

00:59:08.000 That's us going, oops, lost the money.

00:59:11.000 Sorry about that.

00:59:12.000 Yeah.

00:59:12.000 Like, that is absolutely insane.

00:59:13.000 So I'm really glad for Doge, Elon Musk, and Vivek.

00:59:16.000 Like, they're probably going to find, what did he say?

00:59:18.000 He wanted to cut a couple trillion dollars from the budget?

00:59:20.000 Yeah.

00:59:21.000 I think with $500 billion as a starting point. 0.89

00:59:23.000 And people like Colbert go, this is clown, but we need some adults.

00:59:25.000 You know, I thought we needed some adults when we, oh wait, we lost $500 billion this year. 0.91

00:59:29.000 It's gone.

00:59:30.000 Where are the adults?

00:59:32.000 You're the adult.

00:59:33.000 They bought islands.

00:59:34.000 How do you fix it?

00:59:36.000 The gaslighting that takes place.

00:59:37.000 They want you to believe us.

00:59:39.000 This is absurd.

00:59:39.000 Here's the number one for me.

00:59:41.000 And it's hard for me.

00:59:42.000 There really isn't a claim because this was just buried.

00:59:46.000 And this is a fact that has actually been apologized for on behalf of our government.

00:59:50.000 But when I heard this, I was kind of embarrassed that I didn't know about this.

00:59:55.000 And I'd love for you to comment when you see this, if you did.

00:59:57.000 You probably do if you watch this program.

01:00:00.000 But I didn't for a long time, until the mid-2000s.

01:00:03.000 Let's just go with the truth, I guess, at this point.

01:00:06.000 The United States government conducted experiments on Guatemalans by knowingly allowing 5,000 Guatemalans To contract STDs and withholding treatment.

01:00:20.000 They did this in 1946. And part of the way they spread this was by putting prostitutes into the prison system in Guatemala. 0.99

01:00:30.000 Put prostitutes in there, ensured that STDs would spread across Guatemala and withheld treatment. 1.00

01:00:36.000 Just to see what would happen.

01:00:38.000 A White House Bioethics Commission has revealed gruesome new details about American-run venereal disease experiments on unsuspecting Guatemalans from 1946 to 48. The testing focused on sexually transmitted diseases and involved U.S. medical officials intentionally infecting Guatemalan sex workers, prisoners, soldiers, mental patients without their permission in order to study the effects of penicillin.

01:01:06.000 The New York Times reports, quote, when some of the men failed to become infected through sex, the bacteria were poured into scrapes made on the penises or faces or even injected by spinal puncture.

01:01:18.000 Gee.

01:01:19.000 And you can go and look at the record.

01:01:21.000 Barack Obama apologized for this in 2010. I believe that Hillary Clinton apologized for it even earlier than that.

01:01:27.000 This happened.

01:01:28.000 Does that make you question your government a little bit?

01:01:31.000 Their humanity? 1.00

01:01:32.000 They gave Guatemalans STDs and then encouraged them to have lots of sex. 1.00

01:01:37.000 Luckily, it was all documented on camera. 0.99

01:01:41.000 Mm-hmm.

01:01:42.000 Mm-hmm.

01:01:42.000 Yep.

01:01:43.000 Come on.

01:01:44.000 Ah, man.

01:01:46.000 Guys.

01:01:46.000 Gerald.

01:01:47.000 I know what you're thinking.

01:01:47.000 Well, you know, Guatemala, who cares?

01:01:49.000 I don't know if you know this.

01:01:50.000 The United States, they did this to Americans, too.

01:01:53.000 An SED experiment in Tuskegee, Alabama.

01:01:55.000 This is in 1932. Your government deliberately lied to 600, at least, black men.

01:02:03.000 About treating them for syphilis just to study the effects of untreated syphilis.

01:02:08.000 So they withheld medication from over 600 black men just to see what syphilis does to the human body.

01:02:14.000 And in case you don't believe me, believe Bill Clinton in 1997, who apologized for this experiment on our own people.

01:02:20.000 I did not have sexual relations with that woman. 0.99

01:02:25.000 Sorry, right clip.

01:02:26.000 Here's him apologizing.

01:02:27.000 On behalf of the American people, What the United States government did was shameful.

01:02:34.000 And I am sorry.

01:02:38.000 I guess that covers it.

01:02:39.000 I think it's okay, though.

01:02:42.000 We did let those guys fly.

01:02:43.000 So we made it up to them.

01:02:45.000 Sorry about all the...

01:02:46.000 What did we give them?

01:02:47.000 Sexual disease? 0.89

01:02:48.000 Yeah, that's our bad.

01:02:49.000 Syphilis?

01:02:49.000 Sorry about the syphilis.

01:02:50.000 Here's an airplane.

01:02:51.000 This was never a conspiracy, but it is to me because the media never covered it.

01:02:55.000 Can you imagine?

01:02:57.000 People are talking about George W. Bush and Katrina. 0.98

01:02:59.000 Remember, George Bush does not care about black people.

01:03:01.000 Talking about how your government isn't looking out for you.

01:03:03.000 And by the way, I agree in a lot of cases.

01:03:05.000 Why wasn't this shouted from the rooftops everywhere?

01:03:11.000 How many of you know this?

01:03:13.000 Check the references.

01:03:14.000 That, to me, is as evil as...

01:03:15.000 It almost gives credence to the other dictators or fascists or totalitarians across the globe who go, oh, you think your government's so good?

01:03:24.000 Yeah.

01:03:24.000 You go, yeah.

01:03:26.000 Yeah. 0.99

01:03:26.000 Yeah, we've done a lot of crap. 0.99

01:03:30.000 And that doesn't mean that every single person in government is bad, but for this to have taken place, and then for you to be blamed for being mistrusting of them, I think you should be as mistrusting of every institution as humanly possible. 0.59

01:03:44.000 Why?

01:03:45.000 Because it's 2024. And any other position would be illogical.

01:03:50.000 A bonus conspiracy, and this is one that just dawned on me last night and has been eating at me, which brings me to double secret coincidences.

01:04:16.000 And he was going to be on the show here today, Mr. Alex Jones, a friend of the show.

01:04:20.000 But I wonder if he couldn't be on the show today because of a legal call, an emergency legal call that he had to get on, or because he was too busy acting in the American classic A Christmas Story?

01:04:35.000 Move a little bit to the right.

01:04:38.000 That way.

01:04:39.000 Just a little more to the right.

01:04:45.000 More! 0.72

01:04:45.000 That's it! 0.72

01:04:46.000 No, stop! 0.98

01:04:46.000 Right there, that's wonderful. 0.98

01:04:48.000 Hey, Park, what is that?

01:04:50.000 He's wearing a Cartman hat, too.

01:04:57.000 laughter - That's fantastic.

01:05:01.000 You got that Christmas story money, don't you?

01:05:03.000 That's the thing.

01:05:04.000 I don't know.

01:05:05.000 I've always defended him.

01:05:05.000 I don't think he's a grifter, but he's getting the right hand knows not what the left hand is something something doing.

01:05:11.000 He got himself a legman.

01:05:12.000 He's got a union card, that guy.

01:05:13.000 I don't know where else he's been, but that is him in A Christmas Story.

01:05:16.000 I have no doubt about it.

01:05:19.000 And it makes me very skeptical of any of his claims as we move forward.

01:05:24.000 Not everything's a conspiracy, right?

01:05:25.000 We know that.

01:05:25.000 Not everything's really a conspiracy.

01:05:26.000 But I do think that a healthy skepticism of government is good.

01:05:29.000 I don't just think it's a good idea.

01:05:30.000 I think it's necessary.

01:05:31.000 Yeah, I think when someone in a place of power says, trust me, I think you should be skeptical.

01:05:35.000 No, you say no.

01:05:37.000 Yeah.

01:05:37.000 You don't say yes.

01:05:38.000 You don't just say I'm skeptical.

01:05:40.000 You just say no.

01:05:40.000 How about no?

01:05:42.000 Absolutely not.

01:05:42.000 How about you prove to me that you're not?

01:05:45.000 It can be followed by two questions that are most effective.

01:05:47.000 Yeah, trust me.

01:05:50.000 Why?

01:05:50.000 Well, because I have a degree, because I'm an epidemiologist and whatever.

01:05:54.000 So the first question is why.

01:05:55.000 The next question is, so?

01:06:00.000 They don't have an answer.

01:06:02.000 Trust me.

01:06:02.000 I've been in the room with these.

01:06:03.000 They do not have an answer.

01:06:04.000 Trust me.

01:06:05.000 Wait, no.

01:06:06.000 I can't trust you.

01:06:07.000 I can.

01:06:08.000 Will you provide sources?

01:06:09.000 No, but don't trust me.

01:06:10.000 Trust the sources.

01:06:11.000 Trust the references.

01:06:12.000 Ah, there we go.

01:06:12.000 I wouldn't trust anyone out there who doesn't provide the references to you every single day.

01:06:16.000 Every claim they are making...

01:06:17.000 I mean, we used to do that.

01:06:18.000 Think about it.

01:06:18.000 We went from school when we were kids, where you had a bibliography, where you had references, and you were actually...

01:06:24.000 I don't know if you had to do this in school.

01:06:26.000 I was taught how to actually check references, how to cross-reference, right?

01:06:30.000 Yeah.

01:06:31.000 And then when it comes to media, the press, when it comes to government making claims, we don't do that anymore.

01:06:39.000 We do it to find out how the little bug went kachoo when I'm in the second grade, but not when we're just supposed to trust you on the single biggest violation of fundamental human rights in the United States in the form of lockdowns and vaccine mandates. 0.59

01:06:52.000 Wait, you're not going to provide me with anything?

01:06:55.000 And you're going to remove the voices of people who are?

01:07:00.000 Yeah, I certainly think that when we're at that point and someone says, trust me, the answer is, why?

01:07:06.000 A list of qualifications.

01:07:08.000 So, especially when it comes to science.

01:07:11.000 Science is not governed by consensus.

01:07:12.000 It is governed by what is correct.

01:07:13.000 There can be consensus that the earth is flat, and if one person is right, that's the science.

01:07:20.000 It's like the creepy elf from Polar Express at the end when the kid wants his present and he goes, give it to me, trust me.

01:07:27.000 I'm like, I don't think I trust this golem. 1.00

01:07:29.000 I don't remember that person in Polar Express.

01:07:31.000 Oh yeah, because you blocked it out of your mind.

01:07:32.000 Did I? Yeah, it's disturbing.

01:07:34.000 There's a troll person in Polar Express?

01:07:36.000 Yeah, little hobo elves. 1.00

01:07:37.000 They're weird.

01:07:38.000 Are they bad?

01:07:39.000 It's an odd movie.

01:07:40.000 No, they're not bad.

01:07:40.000 It's just that time where the animation was really weird.

01:07:44.000 They're just sketchy slaves.

01:07:45.000 Yeah, pretty much.

01:07:47.000 By the way, we do have that Alex Jones clip before we go to Rumble Premium Mug Club.

01:07:50.000 Oh, and by the way, hey, the one thing I want to say on CNN right now, Hegseth meets with three Trump critics on Capitol Hill.

01:07:56.000 How many of these people confirmed people like Merrick Garland?

01:07:58.000 Can we cross-reference the critics, the people who are holding out on Hegseth?

01:08:01.000 Not saying he's perfect.

01:08:03.000 How many of them confirmed all kinds of liberal appointments, right?

01:08:07.000 Anyone who's done that, I'm done with those people.

01:08:11.000 How about that?

01:08:12.000 That's where I am at this point.

01:08:13.000 So this is a clip from Alex Jones during the trial where Alex Jones simply could not help himself.

01:08:18.000 He was very disciplined.

01:08:19.000 This is just one of those clips that I find to be hysterical every time I watch it.

01:08:25.000 There's going to be an objection.

01:08:27.000 Can I get my questions out?

01:08:29.000 When it's the same form, second time, the inference is, it's going to also be objectionable.

01:08:33.000 I didn't say Parkland was fake.

01:08:34.000 I didn't say Evaldi was.
