In this week's episode, we discuss the recent death of the Iranian Prime Minister, the Iran situation, and fake news. Subscribe to my channel CROWNDER to get notified when I deconstruct the newest episode of RUMBLE!
00:03:06.000I don't know if you know this, the Ayatollah kind of runs things.
00:03:09.000You don't fully need to understand the intricacies of the Iranian government to know that if the Ayatollah says, go fund Hamas, they do it.
00:03:16.000So we'll talk about that and we'll kind of talk about the system of government and what this guy has done.
00:03:20.000And I don't know if you know, did you know this, that you are funding terrorism?
00:04:06.000And we're going to be talking about fake news today, not only with the Iranian president, but a story about sea turtles that I saw on Instagram that just had me livid.
00:04:19.000Someone ripped someone's true story about a sea turtle, lied about it, and got something like 40 million more plays than the original story, and it's a lie.
00:04:27.000And we have some stats on fake news out there, because it actually is a problem.
00:04:30.000It's not the way the left has tried to tell you it's a problem, but it is a problem, and hopefully give you some tools to identify it.
00:04:35.000All right, Captain Morgan, number two, how are you?
00:06:54.000I have literally convinced myself at this point, based on everything that everyone's telling me, my therapist, my family, my friends, that I'm just doing everything wrong.
00:07:58.000All of my friends Okay, so a couple things here.
00:08:09.000Of course, my heart goes out to you, but this person is gorgeous, obviously, objectively.
00:08:16.000So that means that either you're insane, or you have insanely high standards.
00:08:22.000I'm sorry, there's no reason for a woman in her mid-to-late twenties, who's beautiful, To be venting to Instagram about how she cannot find a guy.
00:08:30.000You say, I just want someone like my friends.
00:08:32.000I guarantee you there's a guy out there who will love you, who will treat you well.
00:08:35.000The problem is he may be 5'9 and only make $55,000 a year.
00:08:41.000There is that guy there for you right now.
00:09:29.000But this lady, I guarantee you, by the way, I guarantee there's at least one guy that she knows personally watching that video that's going...
00:09:39.000Yes, probably a guy of average height, average build, relatively successful, has some stability in his life, but is uninteresting.
00:09:47.000There's no reason for you to be, unless you really do have to work on yourself a whole lot, or you have insanely high standards.
00:09:55.000It's not, like, that is the situation.
00:09:57.000I also have a really big problem, and so I actually laid out a scenario for you where I'm like, maybe what happened is she lived the life that everybody told her, like, go out, be single, do your thing, don't worry about it, and then got around to it like, oh my gosh, I'm 27, 28, 29, I better start kind of thinking about this if I want to have kids and want to pursue marriage and all my friends are getting married, oh my gosh, and freaked out, and then went on and had high standards.
00:10:19.000I think if that's the case too, I think that's also a problem, but here's, I want to, she said, how much harder do I have to pray How much more do I need to manifest?
00:10:40.000No, it's not in any book of the Bible, first, second, or third of any of it.
00:10:44.000She basically said, too, at How Hard... It's not about praying hard.
00:10:49.000God has a plan for your life, and there's a permissive will.
00:10:51.000There's a lot of different ways that that can go, and it's not you sitting there going, God, if I'm only good enough, can you please send somebody?
00:10:57.000But this is pop culture Christianity at its worst.
00:11:00.000It convinces single men and women that if you're only doing this, if you only do that, if you only pray hard, and if you only go to this conference and give that money and serve in that country, God will bring your mate.
00:11:14.000Or you can find your mate in those situations, but don't buy the prosperity gospel BS that tells you you just have to manifest harder, that's not how it works.
00:11:28.000It's, you are perfect, you are enough, it's that life.
00:11:31.000In other words, if you're right, if you're right as far as, let's say, living the life, okay, then we're back to insanely high standards.
00:11:36.000If you were in your late 20s and you lived that life, second adolescence, and you want someone your age who didn't, they're probably married!
00:12:59.000At the beginning of that video, she also mentioned, she goes, everyone's telling me that I'm doing this wrong, and I'm doing that wrong, and I'm doing this wrong, and I'm doing that wrong.
00:13:06.000At some point, when do you look inward?
00:13:10.000At what point do you go, well, how do I, okay, okay, well, I'm doing everything wrong.
00:14:13.000It's not a gossip that women tend to damage through other people, through manipulation or gossip, because they don't physically fight as much.
00:14:19.000Men, it's, hey, you stepped over a line, you can't do that, and you come to blows.
00:14:24.000A boss says, hey, that was a bad job, and I'm sure that that happens with women too, but we don't get the sugar-coated version.
00:14:29.000If you're on a sports team, my God, you're told that you are wrong all the time.
00:14:32.000So you can't go through life getting to your 30s as a man without having had to take accountability in a team environment.
00:14:40.000You don't get to say, everyone says I'm wrong.
00:14:41.000It's, I was wrong and I faced consequences, and you correct it, or you decide not to.
00:14:46.000So I hope that this woman gets it right.
00:14:48.000I hope that this woman does look inward, and maybe it's insanely high standards, Or maybe there's a little bit of the clinical insanity.
00:14:56.000Maybe you boiled someone's pet rabbit.
00:14:57.000And I know most women don't want to hear this, but maybe she should, uh, try and, uh, chill.
00:15:22.000Where everyone is... I guess then it was adapted to a screenplay.
00:15:26.000Where everyone is scrolling around in Alphabet Village in New York City and using drugs with dirty needles, intravenous drugs, and then they get AIDS.
00:15:37.000And then, they're going, there's actually a line in the film.
00:15:39.000This is when I got up, walked out, and then walked back in because I was like, it's going to torture me if I don't see how it ends.
00:20:54.000I don't know if you know this, but fentanyl actually harms a lot of- sometimes you don't need anything else to happen other than just fentanyl, let alone more than three times the fatal dose.
00:21:02.000It's almost like we have an epidemic of fatal fentanyl overdoses.
00:21:11.000And just so you know, we did this a long time ago, and of course we got flack for it, but I stand by it.
00:21:15.000We showed you, in case you want to watch, we'll put the link in the description, that the knee alone, Chauvin's knee alone, would not, at this point in time, George Clooney said, if you're going to sit down, or sorry, get down on the ground for nine minutes here, you're willing to let someone kneel on your neck for nine minutes, I'll allow Chauvin to be declared not guilty.
00:21:34.000I did exactly that, and it was most mildly uncomfortable.
00:21:39.000It's time for me to go outside and live on concrete.
00:21:43.000Knee on neck slash shoulder for nine minutes.
00:23:20.000There are black, but black cops are very, they are the most at-risk group as far as, uh, well, almost any profession in the country, and they're at significantly higher risk than other cops, uh, as far as being targeted.
00:23:30.000Here's, here's another truth, by the way, that, uh, police officers, they're not out hunting black men, to be clear, they're actually 18 and a half times more likely to be killed by a black suspect than killing a black suspect themselves.
00:23:42.000Again, that reference is available 18 and a half times More likely to be killed by a black suspect than to kill a black suspect.
00:23:51.000Not to mention this study that came out of Harvard.
00:23:53.000I don't know if you know the guy who conducted this study.
00:24:29.000Yeah, but the media will not ever, ever, ever report on that stuff because all they did was tell us that black people were being killed at will by police officers.
00:24:37.000Did he also say all this in front of the flag from Congo?
00:24:41.000I think that is the place where they're literally selling people and enslaving their own people for batteries?
00:26:20.000You may experience individual racism, but as far as systemic racism, black Americans are actually given special treatment not afforded to any other demographic in this country right now, aside from maybe illegal immigrants.
00:26:30.000And by the way, I have my gripes there, too.
00:26:34.000Black students, for example, in the bottom 40% when they're going to Harvard, the bottom 40% of their class, they have a 19% chance of being admitted. This is like applicants? Yes. Like they're
00:27:53.000I think affirmative action is actually cruel.
00:27:55.000Just like I think it would be cruel to put someone with a physical disability on an oil rig.
00:27:59.000They shouldn't be there if they are not qualified and they're more likely to get hurt.
00:28:03.000So this is where we are, and you can sound off.
00:28:07.000I'd love to hear, especially if you're a young black American who worries about affirmative action having benefited you, is that something you struggle with?
00:29:09.000It's the same guy that did it last time.
00:29:12.000This would be by far the best performance for a Republican candidate among black voters in a generation, two generations, probably since 1960.
00:30:47.000Doesn't it, hold on, something just crossed my mind.
00:30:48.000This may be really stupid and I may get raked over the coals for this, but doesn't, given what we said about admissions and everything else, doesn't going to an all-black college give up one of your Benefits?
00:33:01.000Unfortunately, a lot of, and yes, a lot of people on the right went out and told you that George Floyd pointed a gun at a pregnant lady's belly.
00:33:49.000And it seems inconsequential, but apply it to any news event.
00:33:52.000April 21st, this account explaining the universe on Instagram posted this video that got millions and millions of plays, 47.8 million plays to be clear, and I don't know how many millions of interactions, that involved this harrowing rescue of a sea turtle.
00:35:12.000So, first off, I watched it, and I thought it was probably fake, because sea turtles don't... they don't save other sea turtles from jellyfish that way.
00:35:21.000They don't have a memory of what happened.
00:35:23.000Also, when I watched it, I'm going, hold on, that diver's not the one who rescued the sea turtle, and it looks like a different sea turtle.
00:35:28.000Now... Yeah, what if the frat boys get a scuba suit?
00:35:33.000But here's the thing, the original story, and I found this because the person who posted the original story commented on this on Instagram and said, that's not true though, this is actually, I was the one in the water, that was my story, I posted it, but that's not what happened.
00:35:46.000And by the way, this can also misinform people as to sea turtle behavioral patterns, but Take this and apply it to elections.
00:37:46.000It seems like this is the real video by the Dodo and the Native Explorer.
00:37:49.000The issue here is, think about this for a second.
00:37:52.000If people are willing to do this with something that seems inconsequential, that doesn't matter, I am telling you, as someone who has been in this industry for two decades, This happens all the time.
00:38:03.000Remember that number where they said 2.7 million new voters without ID or 2.4 million in Texas?
00:41:14.000As we discuss foreign governments here, you have China, you have Russia, Iran, they lead the way in spreading misinformation and it's not necessarily about Donald Trump that could try to make you believe.
00:41:25.000They, for example, okay, China, Russia, Iran, 400 articles that were spread on social media about the campus protests in the first two weeks of the protests.
00:41:36.000As far as stealing content, and this happens all the time, happens with us, happens with other people out there, and I know great, great content creators.
00:41:43.0002018 study actually showed that 40% of traffic to Facebook went to pages that pretty much entirely steal content.
00:41:51.000TikTok actually has tutorials on how to steal other people's content.
00:41:55.000It's a click farm business to make money by lying to you.
00:42:48.000I won't actually follow any profiles, I won't watch any programs that just say things with no references whatsoever.
00:42:54.000Because anyone can say anything at any time, and you need to be given the tools to fact check it.
00:42:59.000Whether it's a sea turtle, or it's a pipe bursting in Atlanta, Georgia, in the middle of the night, in an election.
00:43:06.000Yeah, and I think it's really important, too.
00:43:08.000We've talked about this the whole time.
00:43:11.000Use us as a source because we give you all of our sources, but find other ones, too.
00:43:14.000This is a problem that we have to clean ourselves.
00:43:17.000Too many people fall victim to this and very quickly just run through a timeline and go, yes, yes, repost, yes, like that, comment on this, and don't even question the provider.
00:43:26.000I keep seeing the same people talking about the same stupid things.
00:43:31.000and I'm going like I can't trust this person for anybody all right I'm gonna mute that person so
00:43:34.000that I don't see their stuff anymore because I know they're just putting stuff out there that
00:43:37.000they don't even know anything about. So that's what it has to that's what has to be done but
00:43:41.000also on X with Elon Musk with community notes that's one of the ways that you can actually
00:43:46.000do it and and it's not perfect I mean it's got a lot of problems with it but at least it's trying
00:43:50.000to solve the problem. I would actually say this as it relates to news you you should sooner watch
00:43:55.000a leftist liberal Marxist news resource that provides all the references than a right-wing
00:44:31.000It's a big deal for people who, Imagine that guy.
00:44:34.000If you go out there, you're actually studying sea turtles, you get a boat, you spend all this time, and some other guy makes 20 times the revenue that you do by lying about it and claiming it as their own.
00:46:13.000Well now I can't tell that joke anymore because people have seen it everywhere.
00:46:16.000Well there are going to be some lawsuits incoming because as a comedian you actually own the copyright, you own the literary copyrights and the spoken word copyrights.
00:47:17.000But the Iranian president Raisi was Now, this doesn't change a whole lot, but it is significant.
00:47:30.000Raisi of Iran was killed when the helicopter crash took place in I believe it was northwestern Iran, which is, you know, it's not the best area of Iran, but it's up and coming.
00:47:41.000Let's just show you pictures from Iran's state TV.
00:47:45.000Just a couple of minutes ago, they confirmed the death of President Raisi and the foreign minister, Amir Abdullian, in a helicopter crash.
00:49:15.000So the country's actual Supreme Leader released this statement on X saying, With deep sorrow and regret, I have received the bitter news of the martyrdom of the People's President, the competent, hard-working Haj Saeed Ibrahim Raisi and his esteemed entourage.
00:49:36.000What, did the Jews invent fog and have fog lasers that killed him and now he gets to be a martyr because his helicopter crashed because a frickin' O-ring went out?
00:50:31.000He also was president over a time, there were a bunch of, there were these huge mass protests, you may not remember this, after there was this death, Masha Amini, for those who don't remember, Amini died after being arrested for not wearing a hijab.
00:52:36.000So, for example, the Obama nuclear deal with Iran was $1.7 billion, and then former Vice President Biden unfroze $6 billion in Iranian oil revenue.
00:52:46.000That money goes directly, or in a lot of ways, goes directly to terrorism.
00:52:50.000Now, some of that money is still locked in Qatar, one of the other biggest funders of terrorism And Qatar, the single biggest donor to American universities of any foreign entity, not even close.
00:56:43.000You haven't heard of the new, it's Christian Dior parachute.
00:56:49.000So the story's going to dominate the news cycle, but just look, what's really happening is, okay, the president was a douchebag, the Ayatollah is a douchebag, not much will change, but that's not going to stop social media from sensationalizing it, lying to you about it, and that happens whether it is the former vice president On the economy, they will lie to you about this and try and tell you that things are going well.
00:57:10.000They will lie to you about the Ayatollah, about the Iranian president, or sea turtles.
00:57:15.000It doesn't matter as long as people can make a profit and that's why we do what we do and we appreciate your support because all this is funded by you and we don't need To do that.
00:57:25.000We can make jokes, but we don't need to present you with fake news as though it's real.
00:57:29.000I know what some of you are going to say.
00:57:30.000Hey, I don't believe that that was actually the president.
