00:02:58.000 Draw your own conclusions.

00:02:59.000 You get it.

00:02:59.000 Hold on a second here.

00:03:00.000 My headphones.

00:03:01.000 I think any new headphones.

00:03:02.000 My headphones here are what are active.

00:03:03.000 We need a headphone sponsor.

00:03:04.000 All right.

00:03:04.000 Glad to be.

00:03:05.000 Yes.

00:03:05.000 What we're doing right now.

00:03:06.000 Watch.

00:03:06.000 I'm going to come in with Beats.

00:03:09.000 Nice.

00:03:10.000 He's a billionaire.

00:03:11.000 Dr. Dre.

00:03:12.000 Beats.

00:03:12.000 Yeah.

00:03:13.000 It's not my day.

00:03:14.000 I didn't know Chris Brown did headphones.

00:03:16.000 Right.

00:03:18.000 Well that was a mirrored headphone line from Rihanna called Bruise.

00:03:22.000 Guaranteed not to fall off in a beating.

00:03:24.000 It's got a lot of bass!

00:03:27.000 Alright, sorry we're starting a little late today because there's been some breaking news, some developments here with Spotify and the Joe Rogan situation.

00:03:33.000 Before I move on to anything, my question to you is...

00:03:37.000 What do you think about the Joe Rogan Spotify situation and the apology?

00:03:42.000 Is it caving?

00:03:43.000 Do you think that there's... I think he's absolutely sincere, but do you even think that if someone is sincerely apologetic that this is how you handle it?

00:03:51.000 Of course, I think you know where we line up.

00:03:52.000 We've been in this exact situation before.

00:03:55.000 We're talking about that.

00:03:55.000 We'll be talking about GoFundMe, the communists at GoFundMe, what they've been doing here to try and stop the Canadian Freedom Trucker convoy.

00:04:03.000 There's a lot to get to.

00:04:04.000 There is a lot to get to.

00:04:05.000 It's a busy week, and as you know, I will not be here Wednesday.

00:04:08.000 Dave Landau will be filling in.

00:04:10.000 Crawdaddy will be in third chair because of some things with the half-Asian Kraken. 1.00

00:04:13.000 That's all I can talk about.

00:04:15.000 But by the way, live show Monday through Thursday.

00:04:17.000 That's the best way you can tune in.

00:04:19.000 You can hit the subscription and all that notification bell, but the best thing is tune in Monday through Thursday.

00:04:23.000 It's at 10 a.m.

00:04:24.000 Eastern.

00:04:25.000 Considering moving it a little later, because some people have asked us to, but right now it's 10 a.m.

00:04:29.000 Eastern, and if we're not here, you can watch on Rumble, you can watch on Mug Club, unless we tell you that we are not here, we're still streaming live.

00:04:37.000 There you go, you got that going on?

00:04:38.000 Okay, perfect.

00:04:40.000 All right.

00:04:41.000 Before we move on, we've got to get right into it.

00:04:43.000 Gerald A. is here.

00:04:44.000 How are you?

00:04:44.000 I am well.

00:04:44.000 A little pissed.

00:04:45.000 This weekend was full of news that I didn't like.

00:04:47.000 Right.

00:04:48.000 So we'll be getting to that.

00:04:49.000 How are you?

00:04:50.000 I'm okay.

00:04:50.000 You know what?

00:04:50.000 For the first time, I slept in this morning.

00:04:53.000 And by that, I mean I slept like 6.45.

00:04:58.000 Do you have an alarm clock that plugs into a wall still?

00:05:01.000 Is that your excuse?

00:05:02.000 I have an internal clock, usually.

00:05:04.000 But then I hit the snooze.

00:05:07.000 So I'm okay, and you know him, you love him.

00:05:10.000 Actually, I will be doing some shows with him, touring with him.

00:05:13.000 He's taping his special at the Majestic this Saturday.

00:05:15.000 Don't ask for no more tickets.

00:05:16.000 There are two shows sold out.

00:05:17.000 But I will be with him March 26th in Evansville, Indiana, April 16th.

00:05:22.000 Royal Oak, Michigan.

00:05:22.000 You can see all the dates at louderwithcrowder.com slash tour.

00:05:25.000 Those are almost sold out.

00:05:26.000 We might be adding some shows this week.

00:05:29.000 Dave Landau, how are you, sir?

00:05:30.000 Ahoy! 0.99

00:05:31.000 Good, how about you?

00:05:32.000 Well, he already asked.

00:05:33.000 Oh, never mind.

00:05:34.000 Yeah.

00:05:35.000 He wanted to... I don't know, I said the whole slept-in thing.

00:05:37.000 Yeah, your biological clock.

00:05:38.000 Mine's ticking.

00:05:40.000 Your biological clock!

00:05:41.000 Our marriage!

00:05:42.000 Yes, mine is... Is there anything else? 0.99

00:05:45.000 I missed my... Is there any more shit that I could pile on top of this? 0.99

00:05:49.000 Is it possible? 0.99

00:05:51.000 Name that movie reference.

00:05:52.000 You guys can comment below.

00:05:53.000 Oh, that's easy.

00:05:53.000 Come on.

00:05:55.000 Okay, so before we move on to everything else, and you must be excited taping your special this week.

00:05:59.000 I actually am, yeah.

00:06:02.000 At the Majestic in Dallas.

00:06:04.000 That's a historical theater.

00:06:04.000 It's a gorgeous, gorgeous theater.

00:06:06.000 I'm really excited about it.

00:06:07.000 I think it's like 1,800 seats and it just sold out.

00:06:08.000 We added a show, so thank you guys.

00:06:10.000 This is what makes this program uncancelable.

00:06:14.000 We'll be talking about all this with Rogan, but you know, we're not employees to anybody.

00:06:19.000 Run this.

00:06:20.000 I've always owned this.

00:06:21.000 We have great partnerships.

00:06:23.000 And we are funded by actual viewers like you.

00:06:25.000 Lottowithcredit.com slash Mug Club.

00:06:27.000 Mug Club.

00:06:27.000 It's $99 annually.

00:06:28.000 $69 for students, veterans, active military.

00:06:31.000 And we take your chats.

00:06:32.000 We do an extra full hour of show every day.

00:06:33.000 Okay.

00:06:34.000 Let's move on.

00:06:36.000 Go ahead.

00:06:36.000 No, no, no.

00:06:37.000 I'm just glad somebody worked very hard on the architecture of such a wonderful building so I could tell penis jokes in it. 0.99

00:06:42.000 Yes. 0.99

00:06:43.000 Ah, yes.

00:06:44.000 Exactly.

00:06:44.000 We worked hard on that.

00:06:45.000 Blueprints.

00:06:46.000 Also, by the way, I didn't tell you we have a couple of hecklers in the wings.

00:06:48.000 Like, oh, who writes these horrible jokes?

00:06:53.000 My heart hurts.

00:06:55.000 That's just me.

00:06:59.000 I'd rather be home staving off death.

00:07:01.000 Oh.

00:07:02.000 Now, this, Luda, stop walking through the show map here.

00:07:08.000 I can see a little cursor.

00:07:09.000 This is a weird Monday.

00:07:11.000 This video has been making the rounds this morning showing Catholics in Poland defending

00:07:15.000 the, they have the gall, if you will, to defend the nuclear family, as we know, as Black Lives 1.00

00:07:21.000 Matter refers to it, in need of destruction.

00:07:24.000 How many Polaks does that take? 0.99

00:07:26.000 Oh, jeez.

00:07:26.000 Well, you know what, I tell you what, the Polak jokes are done because they're now like, we okay, we see how this ends.

00:07:31.000 No more.

00:07:32.000 Yes.

00:07:33.000 Oh, yeah, you want to open borders?

00:07:34.000 Okay, good luck.

00:07:36.000 No, we do not.

00:07:36.000 Any name that is Shaka Makalada, you're not welcome in Poland.

00:07:40.000 I think you understand why.

00:07:41.000 We protect our women, okay? 0.90

00:07:45.000 It's not that we are racist, it's that we don't want you to rape six-year-old girls, so you stay on that side of line.

00:07:51.000 We have line here in Poland. 0.96

00:07:53.000 We've been through this before.

00:07:54.000 No more.

00:07:57.000 Tellin' ya.

00:07:58.000 The Poles, they have a backbone.

00:08:00.000 Phenomenal accent for Polish people. 1.00

00:08:01.000 Oh yes, yes, stupid Polack joke, that's right. 1.00

00:08:04.000 How many border crossings you have this week? 1.00

00:08:06.000 Shut up! 1.00

00:08:08.000 It's just the Kazakh heckler. 1.00

00:08:13.000 So Catholics in Poland defending the nuclear family, they're being harassed by LGBT... You know what? 0.97

00:08:17.000 I'm just gonna say gay umbrella... I'm not going down that line of LGBTQAIP. 1.00

00:08:23.000 I'm not gonna be... It gets too long.

00:08:25.000 Someone will put together a highlight reel in 10 years like the equivalent of me saying the n-word because I didn't include the Q-A-A-I-P. 1.00

00:08:30.000 I don't care.

00:08:31.000 I don't apologize. 0.97

00:08:32.000 Here's some Polacks defending traditions from these angry gay activists. 1.00

00:08:36.000 I thought those were dogs. 1.00

00:08:44.000 They're barking.

00:08:46.000 In a manner of... Oh, wow.

00:08:49.000 Your moms must be so proud.

00:08:51.000 Yes, this is great PR for you.

00:08:59.000 We hold flag and you look like freaks. 0.84

00:09:05.000 Thank you for making our point. 0.93

00:09:06.000 You look like street urchins from a glow stick Joel Schumacher Batman scene. 0.80

00:09:11.000 Good for you.

00:09:14.000 You get free tote bag with barking.

00:09:16.000 I don't understand the barking.

00:09:17.000 Where did that come from? 1.00

00:09:18.000 Hey, this woman barks like a bitch. 1.00

00:09:21.000 I can say it because she is barking like a bitch. 1.00

00:09:25.000 It's because they're stupid. 1.00

00:09:28.000 Thank you for clarifying. 1.00

00:09:30.000 My preferred pronouns for you are screw and you.

00:09:33.000 How about that? 0.98

00:09:34.000 How about go screw and yourself? 0.99

00:09:36.000 She. 0.99

00:09:38.000 It.

00:09:41.000 How do they think that's being effective?

00:09:45.000 Like, I know what we'll do, we'll bark like dogs!

00:09:47.000 That will get them! 0.68

00:09:48.000 No, we're gonna dress up like Halloween and then go bark at them like dogs and make every point they're trying to make.

00:09:53.000 You know there's one guy that's like, finally a barking bagpipe band!

00:09:59.000 I've been waiting for it forever!

00:10:00.000 Oh, wait, this isn't that?

00:10:01.000 First Coldplay... Well, I'll take what I can get.

00:10:04.000 Gosh, imagine being that Scot going into battle who had to play the bagpipes.

00:10:07.000 You know they're taking you out first.

00:10:09.000 Oh, yeah.

00:10:10.000 By your own soldiers.

00:10:11.000 Hey! 0.99

00:10:12.000 You're breaking the rules of engagement! 0.98

00:10:14.000 Yes, but we have person with drum and trumpet, and you have sound like dying cattle, so we shoot first.

00:10:20.000 You're just sitting there nervously, going out there in the front lines like, and you're sure they won't shoot me, right?

00:10:27.000 They seem getting madder!

00:10:30.000 No, no, you're fine, you're fine, you're fine.

00:10:32.000 Keep going.

00:10:35.000 It seems weird that you actually put a target on my chest.

00:10:38.000 It's part of the uniform.

00:10:39.000 Just a wee bit further.

00:10:40.000 They're just barking out there.

00:10:42.000 The LGBT.

00:10:43.000 Did you just hear?

00:10:44.000 Q-P-E-T-A All right, as we continue with international politics, and we'll tie this into the fact that the United States government wants you to just take their word for everything.

00:10:55.000 They are the experts on medicine.

00:10:56.000 They are the experts on what will be a false flag.

00:10:58.000 They are the experts on what should and should not be allowed on Spotify.

00:11:01.000 They are the experts on who and who should not be deplatformed.

00:11:04.000 So before we get that, Saturday Night Live, of course, did more bidding from the government.

00:11:08.000 I'm laughing already.

00:11:09.000 Comedy?

00:11:10.000 Are we sure?

00:11:11.000 I really like it when Catherine McKinnon does that smile. 0.99

00:11:14.000 Every time.

00:11:16.000 Every time.

00:11:20.000 So SNL recently did this sketch about the Russian disinformation about the Ukraine.

00:11:26.000 How long, how much of this do we have to watch?

00:11:30.000 All right, by the way, before I talk about this, there's a couple of angry people on CNN right now saying U.S.

00:11:30.000 I don't know.

00:11:36.000 officials warn Russia could invade Ukraine any day.

00:11:39.000 Here's the thing. 0.99

00:11:40.000 The Ukraine officials say that's bullshit. 0.99

00:11:45.000 Not so much. 0.98

00:11:45.000 We'll get to that, but you see synergistically them operating, all the media, the government, and then of course SNL. 0.98

00:11:52.000 Here's the question.

00:11:53.000 How do all of them get it wrong?

00:11:56.000 How do all of them get it wrong, together?

00:11:58.000 What are the chances of CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, Jen Psaki, former Vice President Joe Biden, and SNL getting this wrong?

00:12:07.000 Did they have a meeting behind our back and say, let's just screw everything up?

00:12:12.000 So, here's the SNL sketch about Russian disinformation.

00:12:19.000 Mr. President, the situation in Ukraine is growing tenser by the hour.

00:12:30.000 Putin has amassed over 100,000 troops at the border.

00:12:33.000 We're even getting some reports that Russia has already invaded, but those are from the same people who said Tom Brady retired.

00:12:40.000 So, take it with a grain of salt.

00:12:43.000 What about the NATO forces?

00:12:45.000 Are they ready to back us up?

00:12:47.000 He sounds more like George Bush than Biden.

00:12:49.000 Germany, they're staying out of it. 0.99

00:12:51.000 Oh man, Germany doesn't want to go to war.

00:12:54.000 You know it's bad.

00:12:56.000 Sir, if I may, Russia's military presence may be the least of our problems. 0.69

00:13:01.000 We've been tracking the spread of Russian disinformation in Ukraine, and there are some lies Ukrainians don't know what to believe anymore.

00:13:08.000 Russia tried that during our last election too, but it didn't work.

00:13:12.000 Well, 40% of Americans think you lost the election, so I kinda did.

00:13:18.000 Is he George C. Scott?

00:13:19.000 Take a look at these posts that are circulating on Ukrainian Facebook.

00:13:24.000 Is she Kamala?

00:13:24.000 She can't be.

00:13:25.000 She's not Indian. 0.99

00:13:26.000 on Russian troops. She's not Indian. Russian forces surrounding Ukraine just to give it big hugs. 0.54

00:13:34.000 Ukrainian president horny for drama, wants war, slap me harder daddy. 0.97

00:13:42.000 I'm gonna break my New Year's resolution and say it. 0.99

00:13:44.000 Milwaukee!

00:13:46.000 They're also bringing our country into it. 0.59

00:13:49.000 Why is he doing Bush Jr.?

00:13:50.000 I don't know why he's doing Bush Jr., and the thing is, it's not accurate.

00:13:54.000 The reason the George Bush impression was funny was because there was some truth.

00:13:56.000 The truth would be, you know, if he had a shart stain halfway up his back right now, and he didn't know where he was.

00:14:02.000 But they can't do that on SNL because, you know, they're buddies.

00:14:04.000 They're drinking buddies.

00:14:05.000 In real life, he would have had eight strokes already.

00:14:07.000 Yes!

00:14:08.000 worst way. I'm a junior at a vicious girls high school and y'all work for me now. 1.00

00:14:15.000 Let's just do something fun and simple that everyone can get behind like a drone

00:14:20.000 strike. Okay, okay, Mr. President, I think your generation can learn a lot from mine. Like, we don't believe in drone

00:14:27.000 strikes. We believe in breaking down our enemies psychologically. You've been doing it for years, SNL.

00:14:33.000 Yes!

00:14:36.000 That's how they got Khalid Sheikh Mohammed to talk.

00:14:38.000 They were saying, alright, we're gonna put on seasons 19 through 24 of SNL.

00:14:42.000 No, no, okay, I'll tell you, the bomb's in the children's school.

00:14:45.000 Okay, I give.

00:14:46.000 I don't understand what I just saw.

00:14:48.000 I don't understand it either.

00:14:49.000 This is the problem with, look, and whether we understand it or not, you have to acknowledge that it's a joke, that it's comedy.

00:14:55.000 Okay, fine.

00:14:55.000 However, there does...

00:14:57.000 There does need to be a kernel of truth to it to be funny, right?

00:15:01.000 For the same reason that people are outraged over some of the comments that Joe Rogan has made, there's a kernel of truth to the things that he says, and it offends people, it upsets people.

00:15:09.000 This doesn't make sense.

00:15:10.000 You can't parody Joe Biden and not acknowledge what the vast majority of Americans know, that he's not in his right mind.

00:15:17.000 Absolutely.

00:15:17.000 Well, the biggest laugh that they got was at the very beginning when the general said, Mr. President, and everybody's like, ha ha!

00:15:24.000 They must be some of that 40% who are victims of Russian disinformation campaign.

00:15:28.000 Whoops.

00:15:29.000 Yes, no, that's why Americans think that the most free, fair, secure election of all time might have had some foul play, because they spent $13,000 on Facebook ads, the Ruskies, that's what it is. 0.74

00:15:40.000 It's like Red Dawn with laptops, that's what happened.

00:15:43.000 Yeah, okay.

00:15:43.000 Slap Me Harder Daddy wouldn't have been irreverent in 1975 when the show came out.

00:15:49.000 Right, I know.

00:15:49.000 I mean, that's bad.

00:15:50.000 You're pushing the limits there, are you?

00:15:52.000 Yeah, really.

00:15:52.000 I'd have a special guest, Carol Burnett, and then I'd have someone or someone else come out from laughing, SOCK IT TO ME!

00:16:00.000 So this is all despite the fact, you know, talking about Russian disinformation, that Ukrainian president, or as, you know, he's labeled an unauthoritative source by Twitter, YouTube, and President Zelensky accused the West of causing, quote, panic over Russian invasion, said the threat was real but not imminent as the U.S.

00:16:16.000 has explained in a comment that he made a source close to Zelensky also quipped, quite frankly these Americans are safer in Kiev than they are in Los Angeles or any other crime-ridden city in the United States.

00:16:30.000 Oh wow.

00:16:31.000 He's not wrong. 0.53

00:16:31.000 That seems to be pushing back kind of hard. 0.53

00:16:34.000 Have you been to LA?

00:16:35.000 What did we do to deserve that?

00:16:37.000 Yes, no, this is Kiev, oh no, it's, you know, it's no Skid Row, but I hear that Jamie Foxx plays mean violin, so trade-off!

00:16:45.000 It's very good.

00:16:46.000 For crying out loud.

00:16:47.000 And so last week, too, talking about Russian disinformation, this is what, you know, SNL

00:16:52.000 has gone along with.

00:16:53.000 And of course, this is what all of big tech has gone along with.

00:16:55.000 And we're going to talk about GoFundMe, what's happening with Canada.

00:16:58.000 This is when people say it's not censorship unless the government is silencing you.

00:17:03.000 That's not true anymore.

00:17:04.000 When the government is saying, we want big tech to eliminate these voices, or we want big tech to mislabel these voices, or label them as disinformation, when they are calling out and having meetings with these people, they are acting as an arm.

00:17:19.000 They are acting as thugs for the government.

00:17:22.000 This is unprecedented.

00:17:23.000 This is no longer a libertarian argument if private business can do whatever they want, because they are beholden not only to people in our government, but foreign governments.

00:17:31.000 Like you see what happened with GoFundMe, shutting down a protest where zero acts of violence have ever been committed, by the way.

00:17:37.000 Not $3 billion in damages like Black Lives Matter, none of that. 0.98

00:17:40.000 Not like dozens and actually hundreds of felonies and thousands of casualties that had taken place, or sorry, hundreds of casualties and many thousands of felonies.

00:17:48.000 I mix that up, don't want to be mislabeled disinformation because I'm going off the cuff here.

00:17:53.000 This is an entirely peaceful protest and GoFundMe decided they were going to take, steal their money.

00:17:58.000 We'll get to it.

00:17:59.000 So anyway, last week, State Department, going back to Russia, the spokesperson, Ned Price, and I say spokesperson because I don't know Ned's preferred pronouns.

00:18:06.000 I think it would be Puss and E. Big capital E. It's a shim. 1.00

00:18:12.000 Yes.

00:18:13.000 He gave this answer when AP reporter Matt Lee asked him about a Russian false flag campaign and he said, yeah, we really have, this is a really imminent threat.

00:18:22.000 And they said, okay, and what proof do you have?

00:18:24.000 He said, well, I just said it.

00:18:25.000 And that's the kind of accountability they expect from the press.

00:18:28.000 Watch.

00:18:29.000 What evidence do you have to support the idea that there is some propaganda film in the making?

00:18:36.000 Matt, this is derived from information known to the U.S.

00:18:39.000 government, intelligence information that we have declassified.

00:18:43.000 I think you know.

00:18:43.000 Okay, well, where is it?

00:18:45.000 Where is this information?

00:18:46.000 It's declassified.

00:18:46.000 It is intelligence information that we have declassified.

00:18:49.000 Well, where is it?

00:18:49.000 Where is the declassified information?

00:18:52.000 I just delivered it.

00:18:54.000 No, you made a series of allegations and statements.

00:18:57.000 Would you like us to print out the topper?

00:18:58.000 Because you will see a transcript of the typing that you can print out for yourself.

00:19:02.000 That's not evidence, Ned.

00:19:03.000 That's you saying it.

00:19:04.000 That's not evidence.

00:19:05.000 I'm sorry.

00:19:06.000 Sorry.

00:19:07.000 What would you like, Matt?

00:19:18.000 You just see that moment on his face where he just wants out.

00:19:21.000 He's like, oh, I'm not going to get through this.

00:19:23.000 And that's for those who remember the Boom Goes the Dynamite clip, where you can see the moment that the kid mentally checks out.

00:19:29.000 Please get me off.

00:19:29.000 It's like punchline.

00:19:30.000 Tom Hanks, someone help me!

00:19:32.000 Exactly.

00:19:33.000 His entire thing, he goes on and on and on on this, telling that guy, because I said it, that is the proof that you need that it's real.

00:19:40.000 He's like, well, hold on.

00:19:41.000 You just said you declassified something.

00:19:42.000 Show me the receipts.

00:19:43.000 Right.

00:19:44.000 And he would never do it.

00:19:45.000 Just kept pointing back.

00:19:46.000 So who's spreading disinformation?

00:19:48.000 And at the very least, let's say we don't know that it's disinformation.

00:19:50.000 Okay, that's fine.

00:19:52.000 This is the White House.

00:19:54.000 This is your government.

00:19:55.000 And they are deliberately obfuscating providing information.

00:19:58.000 By the way, all references from today's show and every show available at loudearthcracker.com.

00:20:01.000 The link is in the description.

00:20:02.000 Not saying we get everything right, but we try to make sure that you are able to do your own research and that you can call us on it.

00:20:10.000 Take my word for it.

00:20:12.000 Even LeVar Burton had a couple six-year-olds to substantiate it.

00:20:17.000 I'm just surprised that we actually had a reporter pushing back.

00:20:20.000 Saying, no, no, no, sorry, we can't just take your word for it.

00:20:23.000 You can't just say it.

00:20:24.000 Where's the evidence?

00:20:25.000 Just show us the evidence if it's obvious.

00:20:27.000 Because you guys said everything about Russia when Donald Trump was president.

00:20:30.000 We just took it as being gossip.

00:20:32.000 And then we know that it was false.

00:20:33.000 And then all of these intelligence agencies say this as well, and so we took it as gospel.

00:20:37.000 And you can go back if you want.

00:20:38.000 If you want to use George W. Bush, weapons of mass destruction is what everybody wanted to plaster.

00:20:42.000 I know that there were other things going on, but we took it as gospel.

00:20:44.000 Right.

00:20:45.000 We have a reason to question government.

00:20:46.000 It's a good thing.

00:20:47.000 Well, no, the government are the experts, and this is the problem.

00:20:49.000 When people say, trust the science, what do you mean?

00:20:51.000 Coming from the CDC?

00:20:52.000 Oh, you only trust government scientists?

00:20:54.000 Now, I'm not saying that every single government scientist is corrupt, but what I'm saying is when you declare the only experts, and this is what is happening when things are being mislabeled, And the White House is calling for Joe Rogan to have his

00:21:06.000 podcast be mislabeled when he has doctors on.

00:21:08.000 What they are saying is anything that goes against the government-established science,

00:21:12.000 which by the way goes against itself from six months ago, needs to be mislabeled.

00:21:16.000 The barometer here that's being used for YouTube, Facebook, including Instagram, Twitter, Big Tech,

00:21:23.000 is the government.

00:21:24.000 That's the fact check mechanism, and these are the people in charge of it.

00:21:27.000 By the way, best thing you can do is we talk about comments.

00:21:29.000 Smash the like button if you're on YouTube right now.

00:21:32.000 If you want to make sure that this gets through that algorithm and people find it, which they still probably won't, I still just ask that you smash that like button.

00:21:38.000 Smash it hard like Brian Seltzer in the green room with the makeup artist.

00:21:42.000 No, no, no.

00:21:43.000 I didn't specify the gender.

00:21:44.000 No, he didn't.

00:21:45.000 Joe Rogan.

00:21:46.000 Beautiful wife.

00:21:47.000 This is a conversation here that we need to... Beautiful wife, he doesn't like looking at. 0.99

00:21:52.000 Can't stand to go home to.

00:21:53.000 Can't every day.

00:21:54.000 It's a slow drive.

00:21:57.000 He has mirrors on the ceiling just so that he can look at himself because he's, you know, that's all he sees.

00:22:01.000 Parks down the street for three hours.

00:22:06.000 Eating Wendy's.

00:22:07.000 Honey, it was a long night. So sorry. Gotta go to sleep.

00:22:09.000 Oh yeah, I had to see you later at the office.

00:22:11.000 There's just nothing more that I love than coming home to you, hopefully being on a business trip.

00:22:16.000 Oh, man.

00:22:18.000 Oh, you're here.

00:22:18.000 Oh, gee.

00:22:19.000 I had to sleep on the couch again, and the pillows that I put in the shape of a guy.

00:22:23.000 She's cooking naked with an apron. She's like, I know what I'm gonna do for Brian when he comes home.

00:22:28.000 Which, by the way, ladies, always a crowd pleaser for your husband, just so you know. 0.95

00:22:31.000 Not Brian Stellish.

00:22:32.000 That's not, you could have like a grief burn.

00:22:34.000 You should, you should, could you put on like a, like a polar fleece?

00:22:38.000 Yeah, that is not sanitary.

00:22:39.000 You could get germs in my big delicious food.

00:22:43.000 He's buying her Valentine's lingerie.

00:22:45.000 He's like, look, it's a parka from REI!

00:22:49.000 Would you like your favorite meal?

00:22:50.000 Dessert?

00:22:51.000 It's a full barka!

00:22:54.000 I will have the baked Alaska with a side of a baked Alaska.

00:23:01.000 The second one I'll put in my purse to go.

00:23:04.000 So.

00:23:06.000 Alright.

00:23:07.000 Let's talk about... Completely straight.

00:23:09.000 Guys, I'm super straight!

00:23:10.000 Stop it, you guys!

00:23:12.000 I'm reliably straight. 0.97

00:23:14.000 It's a heterosexual man bag.

00:23:16.000 Yes. 0.90

00:23:16.000 Yes, of course. 0.90

00:23:17.000 Sometimes you need a place to put your keys and... Stuff.

00:23:20.000 You know. 0.99

00:23:21.000 And your Rolodex of strange male prostitutes. 0.99

00:23:23.000 Exactly. 1.00

00:23:24.000 And your black book of men you don't have sex with that you have sex with. 1.00

00:23:29.000 list of guys that I would never have sex with. 1.00

00:23:32.000 Ever. Because I love my wife more than any... I love my wife more than any... thing. 0.78

00:23:42.000 These are not keys to a series of condos.

00:23:45.000 Now, why do you have this list of cardinals?

00:23:50.000 Stop it! 0.99

00:23:53.000 So, um...

00:23:55.000 I'm confessing, Skelter!

00:23:56.000 Now, let's talk about Joe Rogan.

00:23:58.000 This is something that obviously happened this weekend, but I think some people have missed the mark.

00:24:04.000 I'm not going to lie, I was upset.

00:24:06.000 Yes.

00:24:06.000 I was angry with... no, with Joe as well.

00:24:11.000 And I'll explain to you why.

00:24:12.000 I'm more angry, of course, with the people who've tried to... I hate to use the term cancel culture, but the people who've tried to destroy his life and his livelihood.

00:24:19.000 Now, Joe Rogan is bigger than them, so good for him.

00:24:21.000 It shouldn't affect him.

00:24:23.000 I hope he understands the power that he has.

00:24:25.000 Unfortunately, he's caved a little bit, and I just... That makes it harder for everybody else, and I have a lot of respect for Joe.

00:24:32.000 I think he's a good guy.

00:24:33.000 I've spent some time with him.

00:24:34.000 So it's always hard for me, just full disclosure, to be objective when I know somebody.

00:24:39.000 Um, so Joe Rogan has, uh, you know, gotten in trouble.

00:24:42.000 Last week it was about COVID misinformation, and do you know how you know that it wasn't about COVID misinformation?

00:24:47.000 Because when that didn't work, now they decided they're going to, oh, you know what, actually, look, he's also racist.

00:24:52.000 Someone put together a montage out of context of Joe Rogan having said the n-word in case you guys have missed it, uh, and you must be living under a rock at this point, or, you know, Or just hiding out from your home like Stelter.

00:25:05.000 What's going on?

00:25:06.000 If he emerges, there's going to be six more weeks of winter street fairs.

00:25:12.000 Six more weeks of gay pride fest. 0.61

00:25:15.000 Hot dog eating contests.

00:25:19.000 Oh my gosh, he just has that tape of Kobayashi on a loop like a morphine drip.

00:25:22.000 He loves it.

00:25:23.000 I'm just training.

00:25:27.000 So here is Joe Rogan, the hit piece that they put together, which really if you look at every clip individually is not a hit piece of him saying the n-word over the last 12 plus years. 0.98

00:25:35.000 Nigger. Aw, you've already said nigger. D is just like nigger. 1.00

00:25:38.000 Nigger. She's calling you a nigger. It's like this boy that he's a nigger, starts calling them niggers. 1.00

00:25:43.000 Nigger. There should be a word like nigger. Especially the word nigger. That's our nigger. Niggers. He says nigger. 1.00

00:25:50.000 Guy a nigger. And there are niggers. Start saying nigger. 0.99

00:25:53.000 Chris Rocker team, I know exactly what you're doing. Nigger. 1.00

00:25:56.000 Say nigger and he couldn't say nigger. This tape was already out I think. 0.99

00:25:59.000 Uh, no, no, they added to it, but you can watch all those.

00:26:03.000 Right away when I watch, I go, oh, that's him quoting a Chris Rock routine.

00:26:05.000 Oh, that's him telling a story about a racist who called someone an n-word.

00:26:07.000 Oh, I know that where he's talking about, hey, how this word is different in the English language.

00:26:11.000 Here's the thing.

00:26:12.000 Oh, I thought he was ordering coffee.

00:26:13.000 Yes!

00:26:15.000 Oh, you mean this was out of context?

00:26:16.000 That's crazy.

00:26:17.000 I thought he was saying goodnight to his kids.

00:26:20.000 Oh, so strange.

00:26:22.000 It's almost like they did it on purpose to make him look bad.

00:26:26.000 It's almost like that, yeah.

00:26:28.000 Here's what it is, though, too.

00:26:29.000 It's not that they think he's a racist.

00:26:31.000 Look, they don't think that Joe Rogan is a racist, because you know who wouldn't be upset by this?

00:26:35.000 An actual racist.

00:26:36.000 You're not going to use this against a Robert Byrd type because they just go, like, yeah, I said it, because they're still saying it, they don't care.

00:26:41.000 They use this against people who they know are not racist so that they have to defend themselves as not racist.

00:26:47.000 They wouldn't use it against an actual racist.

00:26:48.000 This is not a mode of attack that would be used.

00:26:51.000 against someone like whoever, a David Duke, a Robert Burd, someone who was actually in the Klan.

00:26:55.000 They wouldn't use it.

00:26:56.000 When you see this line of attack, you know that it is exclusively used against someone who they know is not racist because that person will be forced into defending themselves as not being a racist.

00:27:07.000 Now Joe Rogan issued an apology.

00:27:09.000 with which I strongly disagree. Yeah. And I'll explain to you why I think it was very thoughtful,

00:27:14.000 though. And I think the way that he delivered the apology was as well delivered as an as an

00:27:18.000 ill-advised apology like this could be delivered. But for people who missed it, he posted this on

00:27:23.000 his Instagram. And we'll have, of course, links to all the full clips. Lot of credit with the

00:27:27.000 sources, the references. Here's your organs. Hello, friends.

00:27:30.000 I'm making this video to talk about that a terrible neck or no neck, regretful and

00:27:37.000 shameful thing that I've ever had to talk about publicly.

00:27:40.000 There's a video that's out that's a compilation of me saying the N-word.

00:27:45.000 It's a video that's made of clips taken out of context of me, of 12 years of conversations on my podcast, and it's all smooshed together, and it looks f***ing horrible, even to me.

00:27:57.000 Now, I know that to most people, there is no context where a white person is ever allowed to say that word, nevermind publicly on a podcast.

00:28:08.000 And I agree with that now.

00:28:10.000 I haven't said it in years.

00:28:12.000 But for a long time, When I would bring that word up, like if it would come up in conversation, instead of saying the N-word, I would just say the word.

00:28:22.000 I thought as long as it was in context, people would understand what I was doing.

00:28:26.000 Like that context was part of the clip we were talking about Red Fox, how Red Fox said that word on television in the 1970s, and how times have changed so much since then.

00:28:37.000 Or about how Richard Pryor used it as one of the titles of one of his albums.

00:28:42.000 Actually two albums.

00:28:44.000 That this can be a teachable moment for anybody that doesn't realize how offensive that word can be coming out of a white person's mouth in context or out of context.

00:28:58.000 My sincere and humble apologies.

00:29:01.000 I wish there was more that I could say, but all of this is just me talking from the bottom of my heart.

00:29:08.000 It makes me sick watching that video.

00:29:10.000 And there was also something about a Planet of the Apes joke that he made where he, you know... Yeah, which I mean, in fairness, he was on Ambien and they're gonna overdose him and then next season his show's just gonna be called The Rogans with John Goodman.

00:29:22.000 Yes!

00:29:26.000 Surprise cameo from Whoopi.

00:29:27.000 It's not about race!

00:29:30.000 I think genuinely, I understand what he's saying.

00:29:33.000 I genuinely do.

00:29:34.000 But I just feel that this shows that it's being, you know, this is being forced.

00:29:40.000 I feel, I don't know, I just feel it's being forced to make you feel this way.

00:29:44.000 Right.

00:29:45.000 Yeah.

00:29:45.000 They want you to believe that this is how you feel.

00:29:48.000 Yeah.

00:29:51.000 I don't understand why saying it coming out of a white person's mouth.

00:29:58.000 It doesn't matter whose mouth it comes out of.

00:30:01.000 I disagree.

00:30:03.000 I would say the inverse is true.

00:30:05.000 That the only time it should be considered completely impermissible is if you are using it in a racist context, accusing someone, calling someone the n-word.

00:30:14.000 If you're quoting a Richard Pryor album, I don't think so. 0.63

00:30:16.000 He actually, the name of the album, he said that he named these albums to screw with white people. 0.86

00:30:20.000 He wanted to make them uncomfortable. 0.96

00:30:21.000 Of course!

00:30:21.000 Who am I to rename his art?

00:30:23.000 Who am I to sing along with Tupac or sing along in my car with Kanye and say, and Word?

00:30:29.000 It's almost offensive to the artist because this is something that's meant to be consumed by many people.

00:30:33.000 There's a huge difference between the context of quoting somebody or the context of actually being supportive of a black person's art and the context of using it To deliberately insult somebody.

00:30:44.000 And by the way, my entire life, I have never once heard a white person say it in its racist context outside of one time at a Bob Evans in Virginia, and I told you I was incredibly surprised because it was that abnormal.

00:30:54.000 Let me just say this about Joe Rogan here.

00:30:56.000 His Planet of the Apes joke that he made.

00:30:58.000 Okay.

00:30:58.000 Now, I've been on Joe Rogan's show a bunch of times, and I've been talking about this for a long time.

00:31:02.000 Keep in mind, I've been dropped by managers back in 2009.

00:31:05.000 Agents.

00:31:05.000 I had problems with meetings with people at Viacom.

00:31:08.000 And I remember saying, This is what's happening.

00:31:10.000 They're going to come for you.

00:31:11.000 And so many people who were on this show, and even I think the first time I appeared on Joe Rogan saying, no, not with comedy.

00:31:17.000 Comedy is the last bastion.

00:31:18.000 It's different.

00:31:19.000 So they didn't believe it.

00:31:20.000 Joe Rogan was imprudent back then to make his Planet of the Apes comment joke, not because the joke is impermissible, not because the joke is that offensive, not because anything he said was offensive, but he was imprudent because he thought they wouldn't come for him.

00:31:33.000 He said that.

00:31:34.000 He said that before.

00:31:35.000 They always will come for you.

00:31:36.000 And now, I believe he is wrong to apologize because that's done under the guise that they have any Of course they don't.

00:31:47.000 It was COVID, now it's this, you apologize for this, they're just going to move on to something else.

00:31:52.000 And this makes it more difficult for other people because it sets a precedent where people think they have to apologize for things that do not require an apology.

00:31:59.000 I think he was wrong back then to think that they wouldn't come for him, and I think that he's incorrect right now to apologize.

00:32:04.000 Look, even if you think you're wrong, and I want to be clear about this, this is a difference There's a difference between a consensual relationship and an abusive relationship, a loving relationship and an abusive relationship.

00:32:16.000 In a loving relationship where both parties are actually trying to make a relationship work because they care about each other, when you think you're wrong, you apologize.

00:32:24.000 It's a very good rule to follow.

00:32:27.000 If you're married, if you're in a long-term relationship, be quick to apologize, be quick to forgive.

00:32:30.000 You do that, The relationship works no matter what happens quick to apologize quick to forgive quick to say you're sorry recognize your faults quick to give grace an abusive relationship is where someone is trying to gaslight you someone is trying to manipulate you into apologizing and then they will use that to hammer in your faults because they have no interest in

00:32:49.000 and accepting your apology in the first place.

00:32:52.000 That's what's happening now.

00:32:53.000 This is not a loving relationship.

00:32:54.000 This is not the left wanting Joe Rogan to recognize some faults and improve upon it

00:32:59.000 so they can have a working relationship going forward.

00:33:02.000 This is a relationship where they want to destroy him, where they want to take everything that he has.

00:33:06.000 So here's the deal.

00:33:07.000 Even if you think you're wrong, people out there, even if you think you're wrong, even if you do regret it,

00:33:15.000 if you were in a loving relationship, sure, you apologize.

00:33:18.000 You don't apologize in front of the enemy, even when you think you're wrong.

00:33:22.000 Down the line!

00:33:24.000 But if Winston Churchill thought that he made some strategic errors in World War II, you don't say, man, I made a mistake while Hitler's still on the march. 0.90

00:33:30.000 Afterward, you say, maybe this would have been a better idea.

00:33:33.000 So I actually don't even agree.

00:33:34.000 If you think you're wrong, a lot of people say, if I think I'm wrong, I need to apologize.

00:33:37.000 Not right now.

00:33:39.000 You don't do it right now.

00:33:41.000 Because they're not going to forgive you.

00:33:44.000 They're just going to use it to attack you. 0.83

00:33:46.000 You do not bend the knee to the mob ever, even if you think you are wrong.

00:33:52.000 You do it later on.

00:33:53.000 That's just the ABC.

00:33:54.000 Those are the ABCs of me.

00:33:55.000 That's what I think.

00:33:56.000 You guys can comment below and let me know what you think.

00:33:59.000 If you're in a relationship with someone you care about, you apologize.

00:34:01.000 If it's someone who's seeking to hurt you, you don't apologize.

00:34:04.000 You don't show weakness at that point in time.

00:34:06.000 And here's the thing.

00:34:07.000 It's not just Some people on Twitter.

00:34:10.000 This is the, and we've been through this, we're going to go back to the Vox Apocalypse and talk about it because I've lived this exactly, exactly when people tried to get us removed from YouTube here.

00:34:19.000 And then I was mentioned by sitting senators and CNN, the exact same thing, a hit list, a reel, and we survived it.

00:34:27.000 So let's look at this sort of gaggle of bullies, Jim Acosta and Brian Stelter.

00:34:34.000 Hear them talking about how Joe Rogan should be kicked off Spotify.

00:34:38.000 What does Joe Rogan now say?

00:34:41.000 He is now apologizing, and we're going to find out if that's enough for Spotify, the company that has an exclusive distribution deal with him.

00:34:47.000 Jim, this is all coming to light because of the recent controversy about anti-vaccine rhetoric on Rogan's podcast.

00:34:53.000 How are the two related?

00:34:54.000 They're not.

00:34:55.000 They decided to quit the service.

00:34:56.000 One of them, India Aree, pointed out this video, this compilation video, and pointed

00:35:00.000 Oh boy.

00:35:01.000 out that the language Rogan has used around race in the past is just as or maybe even

00:35:05.000 more problematic than his rhetoric about vaccines.

00:35:09.000 Typically, in the past, when a video like the one at the beginning of this segment that

00:35:15.000 we aired of Joe Rogan saying the N-word repeatedly over and over and over again over the course

00:35:19.000 of many of his episodes, I mean, that would be enough for somebody to lose their job.

00:35:25.000 There are many examples, including in Hollywood and entertainment, where people have lost

00:35:30.000 their roles for less than this.

00:35:32.000 And that may be why Spotify is being so quiet.

00:35:34.000 At the same time, I want to recognize there are reasons why Rogan has lots of fans, millions

00:35:38.000 of fans, people wanting Yeah.

00:35:45.000 Okay.

00:35:49.000 Couple of things.

00:35:50.000 First off, there are a few flaws there.

00:35:51.000 Do you notice he said people were unsubscribing?

00:35:53.000 Really?

00:35:54.000 Do you have those numbers?

00:35:55.000 They're not available.

00:35:57.000 Where's the misinformation label?

00:35:59.000 People aren't subscribing because of what Joe Rogan said?

00:36:00.000 Are you sure about that?

00:36:03.000 And by the way, does it counterbalance all of the new paying subscribers because Joe Rogan was signed to Spotify?

00:36:08.000 That's misinformation right there.

00:36:09.000 And he's saying other people have been cancelled for saying far less. 0.80

00:36:12.000 Well, here's the thing, Joe Rogan's not an employee, dummy!

00:36:16.000 Joe Rogan's not an employee of Spotify.

00:36:17.000 They have some kind of, whatever it is, a distribution deal, a licensing deal.

00:36:20.000 He's not like you.

00:36:21.000 He's not a patsy for the higher-ups hoping for Jeff Zucker's job.

00:36:25.000 People need to understand this difference.

00:36:27.000 And certainly of all, most of all, my God, Joe Rogan!

00:36:30.000 I hope that Joe Rogan understands he can't be fired by these people.

00:36:34.000 Look, this is the same thing.

00:36:35.000 I'll get into what happened with us.

00:36:37.000 No unemployed?

00:36:38.000 I don't have an employer.

00:36:39.000 I am the employer.

00:36:41.000 Some people sign the backs of checks.

00:36:42.000 Some people sign the fronts of checks.

00:36:44.000 And the only reason I'm able to do it is because of you, the viewer.

00:36:47.000 Not like PBS where we say viewers like you, but then we get tens of millions of dollars in federal funding.

00:36:52.000 Just you.

00:36:53.000 We're not funded by a foreign caliphate.

00:36:54.000 We're not funded by someone at CNN who tells us what to say.

00:36:57.000 It's Mug Club.

00:36:58.000 You guys can join up.

00:36:58.000 Lodderwithcrowder.com slash Mug Club.

00:37:00.000 We appreciate the support.

00:37:01.000 You'll always have free content here on YouTube as long as it's a loud rumble, but we do an extra hour of show that we know we can never do on YouTube every single day.

00:37:09.000 This is the only way that we make revenue and some sponsorships with sponsors who have the balls to not run off, right?

00:37:15.000 But yeah, but yeah, I'm with you.

00:37:16.000 No, I just think you're absolutely right about all of it.

00:37:18.000 I think that when it comes down to apologizing to a mob, it doesn't matter.

00:37:23.000 If he's apologizing to black people specifically who were offended for using the n-word, that's one thing, but I don't believe that he ever used it maliciously.

00:37:31.000 So the reason why he thought he was untouchable, which I don't believe that he thought he was untouchable to be honest, I think it was because At one point, comedy was supposed to be all in context.

00:37:42.000 Right.

00:37:42.000 Comedy cannot exist unless it's within context.

00:37:45.000 Right.

00:37:45.000 And if anything is looked at as a joke, it is a joke, and it's that simple.

00:37:48.000 That's why you would love it if everything that we did was looked at like it was supposed to be.

00:37:54.000 And I don't think he, to clarify if people think that that's what I was saying, I was never suggesting that he thought he was untouchable, but exactly what you said.

00:37:59.000 Here's the deal.

00:38:00.000 I lived in a very different world.

00:38:01.000 Right.

00:38:01.000 Where back when I was 19, I was banned from a college because this is a, when I was 19 years old, so it would have been 2000, Seven?

00:38:10.000 I was banned from a ladies' footlocker, but that's... Go on. 1.00

00:38:13.000 Well, see, that's okay, because now I'm allowed in every ladies' footlocker, because I just set the Penn State records. 1.00

00:38:18.000 But he thought... And I was always telling people, look, you're saying that, that comedy is untouchable in context, because you haven't gone through what I've gone through.

00:38:27.000 You don't know.

00:38:28.000 Right now, what I am saying is permissible, but it's going to get worse.

00:38:31.000 I've had this conversation with many comedians, and comedians would be on this show and say, no, I don't think that's what's going to happen.

00:38:36.000 Comedy...

00:38:37.000 I've lived it.

00:38:38.000 I've had agents drop me.

00:38:39.000 I've had managers drop me.

00:38:41.000 I've been banned from school.

00:38:42.000 I've been banned from comedy clubs.

00:38:43.000 I've had bookers complain.

00:38:44.000 At this point, it's a clean act, but I would say things that would be considered politically incorrect.

00:38:49.000 And I experienced it.

00:38:50.000 And I was trying to sound the alarm, saying, Before the term existed.

00:38:54.000 The social justice warriors are coming!

00:38:56.000 And they're going, no, it's not going to happen in comedy.

00:38:58.000 Yes, it will.

00:38:58.000 And if it hasn't happened for you yet, it's either because that Overton window hasn't been moved far enough yet, or you are not big enough yet.

00:39:05.000 That's the only reason they are coming for...

00:39:09.000 All of you, and it's not because they actually think that you're racist.

00:39:12.000 What they want to do with Joe Rogan is this.

00:39:14.000 What they want to do is Joe Rogan has to go interview Francis Ngannou or Curtis Blades or someone like that after a UFC fight, and he's afraid, does this guy think I'm a racist because he saw something out of context?

00:39:23.000 What they want to do is, again, it's like an abusive relationship, alienate you and isolate you from all of the people who were your friends who now may have this misconception of you.

00:39:32.000 That's a big component of this too.

00:39:35.000 Yeah.

00:39:35.000 They wanted to do it with me and make it seem like I was homophobic.

00:39:37.000 This is what they wanted to do.

00:39:38.000 And, you know, that being said, I mean, you know, it's like a spider.

00:39:41.000 Like, I don't want to have to touch it! 0.76

00:39:42.000 You're not afraid of gay people at all. 1.00

00:39:45.000 That's the stupidest term. 1.00

00:39:46.000 Does anyone know anybody who is afraid of homosexuals? 1.00

00:39:49.000 It's the stupidest term. 1.00

00:39:50.000 Again, it's a made-up term just to silence you fearfully into submission. 1.00

00:39:54.000 Now, let's remember this.

00:39:56.000 In context, I don't know if you know who else has said this, and I don't think... I think he's a racist for different reasons, but...

00:40:04.000 Former Vice President Joe Biden. 0.99

00:40:06.000 Hard R. We already have a nigger mayor, we don't need any more nigger big shots. 1.00

00:40:11.000 What? 0.99

00:40:12.000 Weird.

00:40:13.000 And by the way, he's still saying it.

00:40:15.000 Is he on Spotify still?

00:40:16.000 He's still saying it. 0.98

00:40:19.000 Nigger here next. 1.00

00:40:22.000 Not to mention, he uses the F word, you know, what he says about the Nazis. 1.00

00:40:25.000 Nazi fags. 1.00

00:40:27.000 Now look. 1.00

00:40:28.000 Fairness, though, his brain is firing.

00:40:30.000 Yes.

00:40:33.000 Yeah, just every human being on this planet, everybody has said vile things.

00:40:38.000 Everybody has said awful things.

00:40:40.000 We are all human beings.

00:40:41.000 Right.

00:40:41.000 Everybody makes mistakes.

00:40:42.000 Everybody does things right and wrong.

00:40:44.000 And when I even see that video, I go, yeah, a lot of that's just people talking.

00:40:47.000 Right.

00:40:48.000 Yeah.

00:40:48.000 Sorry, that's just the reality.

00:40:49.000 If you're sitting there throwing stones at somebody, there's no part of this that is genuine.

00:40:56.000 No.

00:40:56.000 The only part of this is to take control.

00:40:58.000 Well here's a good example of that is you know we were talking about context and of course the left says there is no context in which it's permissible.

00:41:03.000 So now people have been circulating the former Vice President Joe Biden video but if you look it's been defended by people on the left.

00:41:09.000 They say right here's a headline from media Joe Rogan defenders have been circulating videos of Joe Biden saying the n-word.

00:41:14.000 Here's the full story and it goes on to explain the context of it and why it's permissible.

00:41:20.000 So oh so context applies To the sitting former vice president, but context doesn't apply to a comedian on a podcast who, by the way, was saying it in a far less pernicious way.

00:41:28.000 This is the point.

00:41:29.000 It's not about whether it's wrong.

00:41:31.000 It's not even about the context.

00:41:33.000 You don't apologize.

00:41:34.000 They're not demanding an apology of former vice president Joe Biden.

00:41:37.000 Right.

00:41:38.000 Because, well, context.

00:41:39.000 But you're demanding one of Joe Rogan.

00:41:41.000 Not only that, you're demanding that he lose his livelihood because you don't care about the context.

00:41:45.000 Don't apologize to those people. 0.77

00:41:46.000 They're animals.

00:41:47.000 Well, and when we had the Kyle Rittenhouse trial— Isn't that the total opposite?

00:41:49.000 Yeah.

00:41:51.000 We had the trial on for Kyle Rittenhouse, the guy that ran around saying, shoot me inward, shoot me inward, right?

00:41:56.000 We actually said, we want you to see this.

00:41:58.000 You mean the BLM advocate?

00:42:00.000 Can we pause one second?

00:42:01.000 I want to hold your thoughts.

00:42:02.000 This right now, Pete Buttigieg is on CNN, look at this.

00:42:04.000 It says, Delta CEO asks Justice Department to put unruly passengers on no-fly list.

00:42:11.000 Do you see the problem now?

00:42:12.000 That's not a free market.

00:42:13.000 How many bailouts has Delta received, by the way?

00:42:16.000 You want to look at the companies that received the most amount of bailouts?

00:42:17.000 You have banks, you have car companies, you have airline companies.

00:42:21.000 These are the industries, of course, that Americans know and love.

00:42:23.000 Now, they're saying they're asking the Justice Department to put unruly passengers on no-fly list.

00:42:28.000 Well, what if you have a medical condition and you don't put a mask on?

00:42:30.000 We've had videos circulate where those people have been asked to exit a plane.

00:42:33.000 I'm not talking about people punching each other!

00:42:35.000 That's different.

00:42:36.000 Right?

00:42:36.000 Obviously Spirit Airlines is not making this request because that's their clientele.

00:42:39.000 Or the Golden Corral, neither one.

00:42:40.000 Send your unruly mother- Send them on over to Spirit! 1.00

00:42:43.000 If you want the big front seats, you better put up your dukes.

00:42:46.000 Well, they just merged with Frontier, so... This is the Wild West up out in this bitch! 0.99

00:42:46.000 Right. 0.99

00:42:51.000 Delta got $5.4 billion, by the way.

00:42:53.000 $5.4 billion, and now they're saying, hey look, you bailed us out.

00:42:56.000 Justice Department, can you get rid of these unruly passengers? 0.99

00:42:59.000 We know that Delta is a woke company.

00:43:00.000 You've seen what they've been doing in the past.

00:43:02.000 And now, how do they define unruly?

00:43:04.000 It's already illegal to start a fight.

00:43:06.000 It's already illegal to make a bomb threat.

00:43:08.000 It's already illegal to actually cause a disruption on a commercial airplane.

00:43:13.000 You know that, right?

00:43:13.000 That's the law.

00:43:14.000 It's just like hate speech.

00:43:15.000 It's already illegal to violently threaten someone.

00:43:18.000 It's already illegal to call people to violence.

00:43:20.000 But then we establish, no, no, we mean speech that people don't like.

00:43:22.000 So I want to see what they're asking here and what Pete Buttigieg is,

00:43:26.000 oh look, he must be using his Rogaine.

00:43:27.000 You looked at at a moment like this.

00:43:29.000 And at the same time, we also have to recognize that there's clearly something deeper that's going on

00:43:35.000 in our society that makes anybody think that it's acceptable or tolerable to behave this way.

00:43:40.000 You simply should not behave this way on an airplane.

00:43:42.000 You shouldn't behave this way on the ground either.

00:43:44.000 But in air travel, it's a unique risk.

00:43:47.000 And it's especially important that we're backing up flight attendants and flight crews

00:43:51.000 that are essential workers.

00:43:52.000 They have been heroes in our travel and transportation sector through this pandemic.

00:43:57.000 They deserve respect.

00:43:58.000 They deserve support.

00:43:59.000 And of course, they deserve respect.

00:44:00.000 You mean the rudest people on the planet?

00:44:10.000 We've never seen this in our lifetime.

00:44:12.000 We've never seen this in our lifetime, the amount of control from only a handful of big companies, and they are so blatantly comfortable with letting you know that they are working hand-in-hand with the government to eliminate from society people who have a specific point of view.

00:44:25.000 The half who elects presidents.

00:44:26.000 You were saying something about Joe Rogan.

00:44:27.000 I was saying, yeah, so when Rosenbaum was running around earlier in the day and they had video of him shouting, shoot me, inward, right?

00:44:33.000 We had that and we played that and they were bleeping it and we're like, no, no, no, no, no.

00:44:37.000 We need you to see what he actually said because the context of what was going on really matters.

00:44:42.000 You don't need to have this bleep to cover it.

00:44:45.000 Joe Rogan, in most of those, was quoting other people and what they were saying.

00:44:50.000 I understand that you don't like a word.

00:44:52.000 I get it, that it's Voldemort. 0.76

00:44:54.000 Nobody can say it other than black people or when you're singing a song or in the private of your own home, apparently, because they said you can't say it and have another black person see it, right? 0.99

00:45:02.000 You can't say it in public or, my God, on a podcast. 0.90

00:45:05.000 It is totally unbelievable that there is a word that is okay for some people to say and other people to say in quoting them and go, wait a minute, you're white, you can't say that, right? 0.67

00:45:14.000 How is that not racism?

00:45:15.000 I don't mean anything by the word, by the way.

00:45:17.000 I'm only saying what Tupac said.

00:45:19.000 They want you to believe that the person who quotes in praise of a black artist, someone who quotes that is just as racist as the person who's beating the slave in roots.

00:45:30.000 Exactly.

00:45:31.000 They want you to believe it's the same.

00:45:32.000 It doesn't make any sense.

00:45:33.000 You're talking about Red Fox and Richard Pryor, who broke the mold in the 70s as black comedians following, you know, like Cosby and Dick Gregory, who was, I mean, I would probably say the pioneer of that kind At least Cosby never used the N-word.

00:45:45.000 No, it's very, very, very true.

00:45:47.000 You know what's crazy?

00:45:48.000 His stuff's still on Spotify, by the way.

00:45:49.000 He was an OBGYN that worked out of his basement on the Cosby Show.

00:45:53.000 Who knew?

00:45:54.000 Wow, that is weird.

00:45:54.000 Worked from home.

00:45:55.000 No, but when you look at that, though, you're like, of all the professions to pick, why did his recliner have stirrups?

00:46:01.000 All he did was leave just little seedlings.

00:46:03.000 Yeah, little breadcrumbs.

00:46:06.000 Little breadcrumbs all the way.

00:46:07.000 Little roofies.

00:46:09.000 Maybe just a little trail of rubies all the way up after my basement and my den.

00:46:14.000 Pick them up as candy if I got a gingerbread house.

00:46:17.000 I'm just a monster.

00:46:19.000 Don't pull your pants down and don't use the n-word. 1.00

00:46:22.000 I'm gonna rape you. 1.00

00:46:25.000 You know, it's not just Bill Cosby who's still on Spotify. 1.00

00:46:28.000 R. Kelly, still on Spotify.

00:46:30.000 Marilyn Manson is still on Spotify!

00:46:31.000 Exactly! 0.95

00:46:32.000 What the hell's the matter with you? 0.89

00:46:33.000 The people who are pulling off of Spotify are just anybody who wants attention. 0.95

00:46:37.000 It's like, oh, Chumbo Wumba wants to take a stand? 0.97

00:46:43.000 Talking to Darren, he's like, yeah, Hermits Hermits is finally coming out.

00:46:46.000 Lara Trump polled, she's like, I'm pulling my podcast from Spotify and they're just, they're stuck, went up 9,000%.

00:46:53.000 Maroon 5 said, get them off or we're going to add our music to Spotify.

00:46:56.000 Oh no.

00:46:57.000 Oh God.

00:46:58.000 Was it Hathaway?

00:46:59.000 We'll be banned.

00:47:01.000 Oh no.

00:47:02.000 Oh God.

00:47:03.000 Was it Hathaway?

00:47:04.000 Hardaway?

00:47:05.000 Yeah, no, Penny Hardaway has a podcast and he's also removing that.

00:47:10.000 Penny-wise?

00:47:13.000 Oh, Marcy Playground's gone.

00:47:15.000 I'm sorry, Joe.

00:47:16.000 We just gotta cut ties.

00:47:17.000 We're done.

00:47:18.000 It's just, everything behind... We try to walk away, but we can't.

00:47:25.000 He tried to say the word and he stumbled.

00:47:28.000 Now it's clear, Spotify, we're still here.

00:47:34.000 I'm tired of hearing everyone say... It's so stupid. 1.00

00:47:40.000 It's a comic. 1.00

00:47:42.000 Here's the thing.

00:47:43.000 I knew this was going to happen.

00:47:45.000 I was sounding the alarm.

00:47:47.000 And let me tell you how I know.

00:47:49.000 I only know one way to handle things just so people understand.

00:47:52.000 Maybe there's a more tactful way to do it.

00:47:55.000 Just not the way I do things.

00:47:56.000 It's a Mack truck, you pull out the emergency brake.

00:47:59.000 That's about the only way I know how to be successful at anything in life.

00:48:02.000 I'd like to learn a greater skill set where I can have some more finesse, but I'm not there yet.

00:48:07.000 Vox.

00:48:09.000 Of course, partnered with NBCUniversal, one of the biggest companies in the world, tried to do this with yours truly for people who have missed it.

00:48:16.000 This is, sorry, the Vox Adpocalypse happened.

00:48:19.000 It was a big deal.

00:48:20.000 I'm sorry to all the creators who were harmed.

00:48:21.000 They created a new set of rules, the Crowder Rule, because it wasn't a violation of any guidelines.

00:48:26.000 And then there's advertiser-friendly guidelines.

00:48:28.000 Now there's the borderline content in the industry.

00:48:30.000 People refer to that as, behind closed doors, the Crowder Rule.

00:48:33.000 Sorry!

00:48:34.000 It's all your fault.

00:48:35.000 And this is exactly what they did to me back in 2019.

00:48:39.000 I appreciate that they put the reel together because, you know, now I don't need to address it anymore.

00:48:44.000 Before we get to the video, with our favorite, favorite lispy sprite from Vox.

00:48:49.000 It's ridiculous! 0.86

00:48:50.000 It's bonkers! 1.00

00:48:51.000 You're being given a free pass as a crappy writer because you're gay. 1.00

00:48:54.000 That's the center line on his little queer graph there. 1.00

00:48:57.000 Well, now the graph is queer? 0.89

00:49:00.000 Violence, filth. 0.97

00:49:02.000 Okay, so the little queer could eat his chips all nonchalantly. 1.00

00:49:05.000 This is what Mr. Gay Vox wants to do. 0.97

00:49:13.000 Mr. Lispy Queer from Vox. 0.99

00:49:16.000 Even his hand movement in fast motion is gay. 1.00

00:49:21.000 Now we're here with the short-haired angry lesbian on Skype. 1.00

00:49:23.000 Two gay guys sitting there eating a banana. 0.99

00:49:26.000 We get the symbolism there. 0.94

00:49:27.000 The truth is hiding in a closet two weeks later, probably along to his next Pride Parade outfit. 0.95

00:49:32.000 This guy on the gay, semi-Latino Vox... Oh, okay, so I'll just name you a little queer. 1.00

00:49:36.000 Alright, I can't deal with this Sprite anymore. 0.82

00:49:37.000 Okay, he just sashays across without a... Like, just... Oh! 0.97

00:49:40.000 The gay Vox Sprite is wrong! 1.00

00:49:43.000 Now he could be a tranny, Your Honor! 1.00

00:49:45.000 How many lispy, angry sprites of Vox sashay across your screen and try and tell you otherwise? 1.00

00:49:51.000 You, by the way, the gay Mexican guy. 1.00

00:49:53.000 The gay Latino v-neck. 1.00

00:49:54.000 Gay Mexican. 1.00

00:49:55.000 Mexican gay guy used to work. 0.99

00:49:56.000 Mexican gay Latino there at Vox. 0.97

00:49:58.000 Gay Latino from Vox. 0.99

00:49:59.000 The token Vox gay atheist sprite with surprisingly, surprisingly flaccid chest considering how thin he is. 0.98

00:50:05.000 It is very bizarre to me. 0.93

00:50:06.000 Ad hominem?

00:50:07.000 Yes? 1.00

00:50:07.000 You are gay. 1.00

00:50:08.000 That feels less at gay people and more at one guy. 0.99

00:50:11.000 Right.

00:50:11.000 And by the way, we did plenty of critiques of other people at once, too, but it was also because, you know, the guy's handle was Gay Wonk.

00:50:18.000 Yes, it was Gay Wonk. 0.93

00:50:19.000 We used those terms.

00:50:20.000 And of course, the grossly offensive 1940s term, sprite.

00:50:24.000 Yeah.

00:50:24.000 By the way, YouTube co-produced.

00:50:54.000 Just a show with Vox, we later found out.

00:50:56.000 I found that out when I was at the movie theater.

00:50:58.000 I was at the movie theater, and they were announcing some new show on YouTube, and it was Vox something, and it was YouTube producing.

00:51:03.000 I'm like, what?

00:51:04.000 Oh! 0.60

00:51:05.000 Of course!

00:51:06.000 So, here's the thing.

00:51:07.000 After that, Same thing as with Joe Rogan.

00:51:09.000 The media, sitting senators, politicians were forced to address and some were calling for me to lose my ability, because they can't fire me, but lose my ability to broadcast freely to you.

00:51:24.000 We heard the allegations from Mr. Carlos Maza, who uploaded a video on Twitter with a compilation.

00:51:31.000 Who works at Vox.com.

00:51:32.000 Who works at Vox.com, yes.

00:51:35.000 As they speak in front of a Vox-sponsored replay.

00:51:39.000 Different video pieces from Steven Crowder's channel, putting them together, right, and asked us to take action.

00:51:48.000 Like, again, I want to say there were many videos, and I looked at the, you know, certainly at the compilation video.

00:51:53.000 So when the team said, we believe this is non-violative, this doesn't violate our rules, you agreed with that?

00:51:57.000 Well, let me explain to you why.

00:51:58.000 If you interrupt me again, I will speak to the manager.

00:52:03.000 I agree that that was the right decision.

00:52:05.000 YouTube dragged its feet before taking any action against conservative commentator Stephen Crowder.

00:52:12.000 Despite being informed of Crowder's two-year homophobic harassment campaign against journalist Carla... Harassment!

00:52:19.000 We've also got Carlos Maza.

00:52:21.000 He's the host of the series Strike Through on Vox.com.

00:52:24.000 He says he's been harassed for years by this controversial YouTuber named Steven Crowder.

00:52:29.000 He recently tweeted a whole montage of offensive so-called jokes.

00:52:33.000 YouTube was about to start Pride Month and rock the rainbow colors and claim to care about LGBT people and they were Helping this guy build an audience base of four million subscribers whose only real content was making fun of me for being queer. 0.97

00:52:46.000 Why are you gay? 0.99

00:52:47.000 Yeah, that was our only content. 0.99

00:52:49.000 And by the way, YouTube was helping us.

00:52:51.000 They just could not stop helping us build that platform.

00:52:53.000 What if it was just the one person who I know sits right behind the camera that when they talk and go LGBTQ, they go... 0.97

00:53:04.000 The Hodgetwins came in, Don Lemon had on a show like, man we were in an airport man, and then we walk into the hotel, CNN's on the screen, and we just see Steven and his dad going queer, queer, queer, queer! 0.93

00:53:14.000 And Don Lemon go, disgusting. 0.95

00:53:18.000 Because he called my dad! 0.92

00:53:20.000 It was Carlos Maza that was disgusting, I think.

00:53:23.000 Well, he got fired from Vox and all this stuff.

00:53:25.000 And look, it was never about that guy.

00:53:26.000 I don't wish him any ill will.

00:53:27.000 The issue was... Why did he get fired from Vox?

00:53:29.000 I have no idea.

00:53:30.000 But the point is, Vox, it didn't work.

00:53:30.000 Producing terrible content.

00:53:32.000 YouTube, Google took a nosedive, actually, when they did that.

00:53:35.000 The Vox apocalypse happened.

00:53:36.000 Yeah.

00:53:37.000 And I mean, you know, you guys want to go... People have already put together the hit reel.

00:53:42.000 You know, good luck.

00:53:43.000 Here's what I think now.

00:53:46.000 Um, we survived, we grew through it, and of course at that point we had a record number of you guys signing up, Mug Club subscribers, and that usually is what happens because you understand that not only, uh, it's the only way that we can continue to survive, and we have a lot of you now, surprising amount of you watching at Mug Club, uh, I think probably now because you also, you know, you get like an hour of extra show.

00:54:05.000 Yeah.

00:54:06.000 But you know that it could go away at any moment.

00:54:07.000 So we did apologize, but this is how I think Joe Rogan and everyone moving forward just It worked for us.

00:54:16.000 The blueprint.

00:54:17.000 This is how we apologized.

00:54:19.000 I would also like to apologize to Drake, the rapper, for referring to him as a quote, butter soft bitch, and claiming that his only redeeming quality as a performer was when he was shot into permanent paralysis on Degrassi.

00:54:31.000 I'd also like to apologize to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg for implying that she's long been deceased.

00:54:37.000 And even though I don't have verifiable proof to the contrary, I do realize my observations were conducted in poor taste and ill-timed.

00:54:44.000 I'd also like to retract my comment about Representative Dan Crenshaw, implying that his mugshot would, quote, resemble that of an angry pirate shift manager in a Brooks Brothers catalog store, and that it would be, quote, the stuff of children's nightmares.

00:54:59.000 To my dear friend and esteemed colleague Ben Shapiro, I sincerely apologize for implying

00:55:03.000 that you're a greedy shekel hoarder. I'd like to issue an apology to Tess Holliday 1.00

00:55:08.000 for incorrectly implying that her blood type was biologically comparable to that of Pudding.

00:55:12.000 She's both brave and beautiful, and I should have done more to celebrate that.

00:55:16.000 Also, an apology to the Jell-O Pudding Corporation for associating their product with Tess Holliday.

00:55:22.000 That's the only way I know how to do it!

00:55:26.000 So sorry.

00:55:27.000 Smash that like button right now if you're watching on YouTube.

00:55:29.000 And I think what just happened is back then I had a tan.

00:55:32.000 It's not like I aged 20 years and 5.

00:55:34.000 No, it didn't happen.

00:55:35.000 Not at all.

00:55:36.000 By the way, I know that we're not supposed to mention these guys, but there's another compilation floating around out there of other people.

00:55:41.000 I'm not saying their name.

00:55:42.000 If you watch this show, we've buried them in the past.

00:55:46.000 Just look at that.

00:55:46.000 Is it my OnlyFans?

00:55:48.000 YouTube, you've got another problem.

00:55:51.000 If Rogan's a problem for Spotify, then that's gotta be a problem for YouTube, right?

00:55:54.000 Which, by the way, you might want to change the URL from OnlyFans.com slash DaveSaysTheNWord to just throw him off the scent.

00:56:01.000 But I thought people find it spicy when I do.

00:56:03.000 Well, they do find it spicy, but I don't know if the juice is worth the squeeze.

00:56:07.000 Also cancelled South Park.

00:56:08.000 It's just me pulling up and yelling it at bus stops. 1.00

00:56:11.000 And your ass kicked. 1.00

00:56:14.000 Just me being beaten. 1.00

00:56:15.000 Then pulling up on the tarmac to Spirit.

00:56:17.000 Hey! 0.99

00:56:18.000 Hey guys.

00:56:19.000 And then the next shot is just you in an ambulance.

00:56:22.000 Dave here again.

00:56:22.000 I'm on the south side no matter what city it is.

00:56:25.000 I'm about to get the shit kicked out of me in front of cricket wireless. 0.99

00:56:28.000 I'm at the corner of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King Boulevard. 0.98

00:56:31.000 This ought to be fun.

00:56:32.000 Let's roll these dice.

00:56:34.000 Going to the Golden Corral to take the last stake.

00:56:36.000 Yeah.

00:56:37.000 Heading on in.

00:56:40.000 What spirit seed is mine?

00:56:41.000 We're gonna find out in a minute.

00:56:42.000 I'm about to send back this Popeye's chicken sandwich, see how it goes.

00:56:45.000 I'm about to purchase the last one and let everyone know.

00:56:55.000 It's all just jokes.

00:56:57.000 And what I think, you know, look, if I like Joe Rogan, go ahead and just keep supporting who you support.

00:57:05.000 The fact that this is like, sounds like we're going into war is so weird.

00:57:10.000 Like, life is not that bad.

00:57:11.000 It's just a podcast.

00:57:12.000 Right.

00:57:13.000 Listen to who you want to listen to, enjoy it, and I'm really glad that you support us, you support Stephen, who has the balls to keep doing his show, even when I'm just shocked that I even watch these clips and these people are talking about you. 0.70

00:57:26.000 It's so weird, man.

00:57:27.000 This is what they want to do, and you know, just like Joe Rogan, obviously we're not as big as Joe Rogan, but certainly bigger than any Any show on CNN and any late night show as far as you viewers in the demo, and they want to eliminate it.

00:57:40.000 And that's really what it comes down to.

00:57:42.000 They want to eliminate competition, and they have the assistance and the full support of the United States government, and that is what's scary.

00:57:51.000 Yeah, the United States government is becoming a mafia strongman.

00:57:54.000 Basically you just call these guys when you have a problem and they come in and fix it with the power that they have.

00:57:58.000 But everything that Dave just said, watch whatever you want to watch, listen to whatever you want to listen to, that's what they want to take away.

00:58:04.000 That's what they want to take away.

00:58:04.000 That's why if you type in Steven Crowder changed my mind abortion maybe they fixed it you'll find something from PBS.

00:58:09.000 They make it so you can't even find what you want to find and that's why we always tell you Monday through Thursday 10 a.m.

00:58:14.000 Eastern.

00:58:14.000 You guys have to tune in.

00:58:16.000 Bookmark it.

00:58:16.000 Best thing you can do is subscribe over at Rumble Mug Club because even if you subscribe, even if you hit the notification bell, You may not find this show.

00:58:26.000 That's the issue.

00:58:27.000 People are not allowed to choose.

00:58:29.000 That was what we thought would be the beauty of the internet, right?

00:58:31.000 Well, there's no more gatekeeper.

00:58:32.000 The gatekeepers are the same as always, and now they're more powerful than ever because they learned, oh, wait a second, it's no longer the FCC.

00:58:38.000 We can just have the government declare something misinformation.

00:58:41.000 It doesn't have to actually be set guidelines or regulations that we understand, like you did on radio or television.

00:58:47.000 And worse than the FCC is the mob now, who works hand-in-hand with big tech and often people in government, to Try and eliminate your career, even though there's no actual violation.

00:58:56.000 Yeah.

00:58:56.000 And don't be like The Rock, who was like, oh, I totally side with Rogue, and then all of a sudden was like, no, no, I don't.

00:59:03.000 That man stood by the movie Jungle Cruise.

00:59:05.000 Yes.

00:59:07.000 I'd rather be sodomized with a Coke bottle while being called a chalk demon for an hour and a half than watch that movie.

00:59:12.000 Well, Dave, how did you know what Stelter did Tuesday?

00:59:14.000 You have to pay for that, typically.

00:59:16.000 I see.

00:59:17.000 It's called Tipsy Tuesday.

00:59:18.000 Yes.

00:59:19.000 Face me well.

00:59:21.000 I'd like to share the world a coke.

00:59:24.000 A coke and a smile for me.

00:59:26.000 For perfect harmony.

00:59:29.000 One in the front.

00:59:30.000 One in the rear.

00:59:32.000 There's one thing for sure.

00:59:33.000 I'm not queer.

00:59:37.000 Reliable sources.

00:59:39.000 That's me.

00:59:40.000 Now.

00:59:44.000 Yesterday, going on with this, now we have GoFundMe.

00:59:47.000 So here's the thing, are you free on Spotify?

00:59:48.000 Well, not really.

00:59:49.000 Are you free on YouTube?

00:59:49.000 Well, not really.

00:59:50.000 Are you free on Facebook, Twitter?

00:59:52.000 Now, what about GoFundMe, which was supposed to be, again, all of you.

00:59:55.000 GoFundMe! 0.99

00:59:56.000 It's supposed to be FundMe!

00:59:57.000 YouTube!

00:59:58.000 FundMe!

00:59:59.000 YouTube!

00:59:59.000 It's supposed to be about you, not CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, not Viacom, NBC, Universe, none of that.

01:00:04.000 GoFundMe was supposed to be anyone could go out there and start raising money.

01:00:08.000 What happened?

01:00:09.000 The screws got tightened.

01:00:11.000 Let's tighten the vice a little bit here. 0.97

01:00:13.000 There was the Freedom Convoy, of course, in Canada.

01:00:15.000 The biggest uprising that I've ever seen as far as a peaceful protest in Canadian government.

01:00:21.000 Finally.

01:00:22.000 And they raised $10 million, actually.

01:00:25.000 But, you know, before we go to that, let's show you How the arms of government are treating entire... The police acknowledged not one act of violence.

01:00:36.000 Let's see how the Ottawa police government is treating these protesters.

01:00:41.000 They came in and they were taking the fuel.

01:00:44.000 They were having force there and not letting anybody in.

01:00:47.000 Taking fuel from protesters?

01:00:48.000 Yeah.

01:00:49.000 With their weapons.

01:00:52.000 Looks cold there.

01:00:53.000 Yeah, not letting anybody in.

01:00:55.000 They're taking the fuel out of the trucks.

01:01:06.000 Not out, but they can't resupply them.

01:01:09.000 Yeah, they're seizing them.

01:01:11.000 The police also, by the way, lest you think that's been taken out of context, the police announced anyone trying to supply protesters with any materials would be subject to arrest.

01:01:19.000 Now I could understand that, for example, like if it was Black Lives Matter and, you know, pallets of bricks. 1.00

01:01:24.000 Sure.

01:01:24.000 Yeah, of course.

01:01:26.000 Or, you know, like pipe bombs, that kind of thing.

01:01:28.000 Or, you know, anything that might be used to burn down a wall, greens.

01:01:30.000 But when there's never been one single act of violence, it's just truckers honking their horn.

01:01:36.000 They did vandalize the Terry Fox Memorial by draping it with a flag.

01:01:40.000 They'll never untie that.

01:01:41.000 And then they took it off.

01:01:42.000 Never.

01:01:44.000 So this is the kind of horror that has been seen at these protests in Canada.

01:01:47.000 And again, really what it comes down to is you either believe in the idea of peaceful protests or not.

01:01:53.000 And in Canada, you don't really have First Amendment protections, but contrast with Black Lives Matter, Seattle, CHAZ, CHOP, all of these For crying out loud, the Women's March had more acts of violence and vandalism, and people don't say we need to stop supplying them, so GoFundMe was trying to steal. 0.93

01:02:09.000 Let me be clear, steal.

01:02:10.000 There was $10 million raised for these truckers at GoFundMe.

01:02:14.000 And GoFundMe was trying to steal it. 0.98

01:02:16.000 Now there's a little bit of a happy ending here, but not entirely.

01:02:19.000 GoFundMe took down the Freedom Convoy 2022 page on Friday, claiming the protest was now an occupation.

01:02:25.000 That's important, the word occupation, because they don't care. 0.84

01:02:28.000 GoFundMe originally stated that donors had two weeks to ask for a refund before it was redistributed to, quote, credible and established charities.

01:02:36.000 And we'll get to what those have been there from GoFundMe in the past.

01:02:39.000 By the way, one's an actual occupation.

01:02:43.000 So this redistribution plan got a lot of people upset.

01:02:48.000 Of course, DeSantis, being the bulldog that he is, the Florida governor said that they were going to be investigating for fraud.

01:02:54.000 There are a lot of AGs that said, all right, this is something we're going to do.

01:02:57.000 So then GoFundMe immediately reversed their course and said everyone will be automatically refunded.

01:03:01.000 Now, what would have been best is if GoFundMe said, all right.

01:03:04.000 Of course we're going to allow the GoFundMe, what's supposed to be an independent platform for raising money.

01:03:09.000 We're going to allow it to go to the people who haven't committed an act of violence and they're peacefully protesting their government.

01:03:13.000 Instead, by the way, you think the Canadian government didn't know about this?

01:03:17.000 You don't think there were some calls that were made?

01:03:19.000 It's not a conspiracy when you have Jen Psaki saying, we think Spotify should do more.

01:03:23.000 You don't think that Trudeau made a call from his bunker to GoFundMe?

01:03:27.000 I can't substantiate that.

01:03:29.000 I just believe it to be so.

01:03:32.000 Has he come out of hiding yet?

01:03:33.000 No.

01:03:34.000 Has anybody actually seen Trudeau?

01:03:35.000 Well, there's gonna be six more weeks of blackface. 1.00

01:03:37.000 Oh, no.

01:03:38.000 He's been hiding $10 million of shoe polish.

01:03:40.000 Been hiding a banana.

01:03:40.000 Yes!

01:03:42.000 Kiwi stock just went up, but their supply chain went down.

01:03:45.000 That's totally acceptable again, and that's in context.

01:03:47.000 Yes.

01:03:48.000 Let's look at some other conservative, right-leaning people causes that GoFundMe removed. 0.57

01:03:52.000 Again, you don't live in a free society if the rules are not applied equally.

01:03:55.000 Right.

01:03:56.000 It's not that we have rules, it's not that we have laws.

01:03:58.000 How would you feel if there were laws, and people actually complain about more black Americans being caught for minor drug offenses.

01:04:04.000 That's true, there's a little more to that story because usually these are offenses that are congruent with either other offenses simultaneously, or there have been multiple offenses before, especially if you look at Clinton instating the three-strike law.

01:04:14.000 But that being said, I understand why people are upset, and if you believe that black people are simply being arrested for smoking some marijuana, Even though they smoke it at the same rate that white people do.

01:04:22.000 The point is, that would be injustice.

01:04:23.000 Why?

01:04:24.000 Because we have a law, but it's not being applied equally.

01:04:26.000 Now imagine if it were more severe than that, and the law said white people can smoke marijuana and black people can't. 0.83

01:04:34.000 Not that it was being enforced unequally, but that was the law.

01:04:37.000 That's what we're seeing here with these big tech platforms who are arms of the government.

01:04:41.000 You are not free just because you have laws.

01:04:45.000 You are only a free country if the law is applied equally.

01:04:49.000 So let's look at GoFundMe.

01:04:50.000 They discontinued Kyle Rittenhouse.

01:04:52.000 They discontinued an anti-vaccine mandate lawsuit.

01:04:56.000 They discontinued Trump rally fundraisers.

01:05:00.000 And the company vowed in January 2021 that they would continue to remove fundraisers that, quote, spread misinformation about the election, promote conspiracy theories, and contribute to or participate in attacks on US democracy. Now let's compare attacks on US democracy.

01:05:15.000 Well that makes sense. Here are the other ones that they actively supported.

01:05:18.000 Black Lives Matter riots. Jacob Blake, the man who by the way his

01:05:22.000 I don't know wife, his partner was the one who called because he had raped her and she 0.93

01:05:26.000 called the cops when he was there kidnapping his own children and he tried to 0.90

01:05:28.000 attack the cops with a knife. Jacob Blake.

01:05:30.000 That was allowed to stay on.

01:05:31.000 There was bail money for pedophiles.

01:05:33.000 Not to mention Chaz Chop.

01:05:36.000 So we're talking about an occupation.

01:05:37.000 Oh, wait, wait, wait.

01:05:38.000 That sounds... That's an actual occupation.

01:05:41.000 Yeah.

01:05:41.000 Where they set up roadblocks and handed out guns and everything.

01:05:43.000 And declared it an autonomous zone.

01:05:46.000 By the way, also lit stuff on fire.

01:05:48.000 There were also multiple people murdered in Chaz Chop.

01:05:51.000 This is not news to anyone.

01:05:52.000 References available at LottoCrowder.com.

01:05:53.000 You can go back and watch our entire episode.

01:05:55.000 These were allowed to stay, but truckers Most of whom are vaccinated, but are protesting a government mandate entirely peacefully.

01:06:05.000 It's not even an accusation that they haven't been peaceful.

01:06:09.000 Getting removed.

01:06:11.000 Is the law, are the rules applied equally?

01:06:16.000 That's what this is about.

01:06:17.000 And the answer is absolutely not.

01:06:17.000 Yeah.

01:06:19.000 And I think this pissed me off more than anything over the weekend.

01:06:22.000 Because if GoFundMe can take money from people, and like you said initially, saying we're going to redistribute it, fine.

01:06:28.000 Look, if you're going to be a socialist and you're not going to allow us to do anything, if you're going to be a communist, whatever, the authoritarian, fine.

01:06:34.000 We get it.

01:06:34.000 We understand who you are.

01:06:35.000 We've got other people we can go to to get funds to causes that we support.

01:06:39.000 You don't just get to give that to other people.

01:06:41.000 Because people gave you money.

01:06:43.000 You immediately give it back.

01:06:45.000 And that's where people were.

01:06:45.000 They were like, look, we'll do chargebacks on it.

01:06:47.000 Which would have been fantastic.

01:06:49.000 Do you know how many thousands and thousands of chargebacks would have happened to them?

01:06:52.000 That would have destroyed part of their business.

01:06:54.000 That would have been great for everything.

01:06:55.000 Can you explain to people who don't know what chargebacks mean?

01:06:57.000 A chargeback on a credit card thing, it's like, they've taken my funds and they're not using it for what, like if somebody comes and buys wine, And I charge them for wine they didn't actually buy.

01:07:05.000 You can charge back and it would actually hit me.

01:07:07.000 I would have to pay that back to the credit card company.

01:07:09.000 So I would be left holding the bag.

01:07:10.000 Hey Johnny Boy, sorry my guy out there, make sure that we call up Gerald's wine clientele list.

01:07:15.000 I have something I'd like to talk to them about.

01:07:17.000 Exactly.

01:07:17.000 But this only happens because of the pressure.

01:07:19.000 It's like when you sell a kid oregano.

01:07:21.000 Yeah, well, you know, and he charges you back.

01:07:22.000 You don't use your credit.

01:07:23.000 What are you, writing a check?

01:07:26.000 I do.

01:07:28.000 Jerry Springer did.

01:07:29.000 I want to hear from you, the people who comment, because I know we have a lot of libertarian people.

01:07:33.000 Do you think this is still a question of the free market?

01:07:35.000 I think it's silly at this point.

01:07:37.000 No, not at all.

01:07:37.000 Go make your own, okay?

01:07:39.000 I'll go build my own platform.

01:07:39.000 Well, you know what?

01:07:39.000 I will.

01:07:41.000 I'll start out with GoFundMe.

01:07:42.000 Oh, GoFundMe removed you.

01:07:43.000 Well, you know what?

01:07:43.000 I'll create an app.

01:07:44.000 Well, the Apple Store removed you.

01:07:45.000 Well, I guess I'll start a channel.

01:07:47.000 Well, they removed you.

01:07:49.000 I think I'll stay alive in my truck.

01:07:50.000 Well, we can't give you gas even though it's freezing cold.

01:07:53.000 Or food.

01:07:53.000 Or anything else.

01:07:54.000 And by the way, one thing we didn't mention, Shopify, one of the largest online e-commerce platforms in the universe.

01:08:00.000 No, Steven Crowder, you can't sell merchandise through it.

01:08:03.000 Oh yeah, that's true.

01:08:04.000 I've been banned from Shopify.

01:08:04.000 There's a bad shirt.

01:08:05.000 No, it wasn't a bad shirt.

01:08:06.000 They said they didn't like what I said.

01:08:07.000 Ah!

01:08:08.000 Oh, okay.

01:08:08.000 Yeah.

01:08:09.000 You can go to CrowderShop.com.

01:08:10.000 We have a different... By the way, people who are talking about how some shirts have been... Yeah, we've had to change vendors.

01:08:16.000 Thrice.

01:08:17.000 Thrice.

01:08:18.000 Because people said, oh, we don't want to be... We don't like what you say.

01:08:20.000 Yeah.

01:08:21.000 Alright.

01:08:22.000 That's fine.

01:08:23.000 But this is what happens.

01:08:25.000 This is how it starts.

01:08:26.000 And then they feel emboldened, of course, by the government.

01:08:28.000 If you're Delta, you just saw it.

01:08:29.000 Delta says, well, we've got the full backing of the United States government.

01:08:33.000 Great.

01:08:34.000 Do you think there's going to be an investigation into GoFundMe from the federal government?

01:08:38.000 No, of course not.

01:08:38.000 They're doing their bidding.

01:08:39.000 Do you think that former Vice President Joe Biden, do you think Nancy Pelosi, do you think any of these people want to push for transparency laws with big tech?

01:08:47.000 No, they want to push for more regulation so that they can have more control over these companies.

01:08:50.000 When you talk about fascist authoritarian governments, People tried to say that Donald Trump was a fascist.

01:08:56.000 Donald Trump never tried to shut anyone, didn't try to shut these places down.

01:09:00.000 He was saying they need to lose their tax-exempt status because they need to be, they need to pick.

01:09:03.000 Are they a public platform or are they a publisher?

01:09:05.000 They need to stop censoring.

01:09:07.000 Right now you have a government telling people to censor.

01:09:11.000 So if you believe that only the government can censor, what happens when the government is telling other people to censor. And of course they have

01:09:17.000 the purse strings where they can say, if you censor, we'll give you a little bit of a tax break

01:09:20.000 here. If you censor, we'll make sure we have a meeting, we'll have a summit, and

01:09:23.000 you'll be included. If you don't, well, you know what? We don't know what's going to happen

01:09:27.000 to you. It would be a shame if you woke up with concrete shoes. It would be a shame if somebody

01:09:32.000 investigated your companies and found some infractions. No, instead they audit Dave Landau.

01:09:38.000 Exactly!

01:09:39.000 That is what they do.

01:09:40.000 That is absolutely what they do.

01:09:42.000 There's this other site.

01:09:43.000 For lots of money.

01:09:44.000 Yeah, so here's a silver lining.

01:09:46.000 You guys can go and support them.

01:09:47.000 It's GiveSendGo.

01:09:49.000 Hold on, GiveSendGo.

01:09:50.000 They've already raised 4.3 million dollars.

01:09:54.000 That's fantastic.

01:09:55.000 So if you want to go, we have the link.

01:09:56.000 Give.

01:09:56.000 Send.

01:09:57.000 Go.

01:09:57.000 For me?

01:09:59.000 Screw this Go Fund for this convo.

01:10:01.000 Never ever use them again.

01:10:02.000 Don't ever send them any money again.

01:10:04.000 If anybody wants some money from you, find a different way.

01:10:07.000 We're running late here today, so tomorrow we'll talk about Biden and his silly comments about the firearms.

01:10:13.000 Was he wrong again?

01:10:13.000 Yeah, he was wrong again.

01:10:16.000 He thought it was a flashlight.

01:10:17.000 I'm sorry.

01:10:21.000 You know what?

01:10:22.000 Look, you can't just go by rallies like Donald Trump would do, but there's a level of enthusiasm.

01:10:27.000 I mean, Dave, you were the highest selling white comic ever at the Denver Imprint.

01:10:32.000 White comic?

01:10:32.000 I just found out, yeah.

01:10:33.000 That's racist.

01:10:34.000 Why would you even have that category?

01:10:36.000 Well, the point is black comics are generally better, so it's graded on a curve.

01:10:39.000 Yeah, it's true.

01:10:39.000 And they tend to support their own people, so they draw very well in comedy.

01:10:42.000 Absolutely.

01:10:43.000 It's absolutely true.

01:10:43.000 I mean, have you seen Tyler Perry's pocketbook?

01:10:46.000 That's true.

01:10:47.000 He does a great Madea.

01:10:48.000 The guy makes a billion dollars in Madea, too.

01:10:50.000 He doesn't even need the Chinese market.

01:10:51.000 It's Madea's pocketbook.

01:10:53.000 Yes, it is Madea's pocketbook.

01:10:55.000 It's a deep pocketbook.

01:10:55.000 His wallet's pretty thick.

01:10:56.000 Madea has the same purse as Brian Stelter.

01:10:59.000 Oh, my lord.

01:10:59.000 Now, I think this is it.

01:11:02.000 Well, people have misused the term cancel culture.

01:11:06.000 I don't want to say anything.

01:11:07.000 People have gotten tired of the term cancel culture.

01:11:10.000 Let's stop using the term cancel culture.

01:11:11.000 What I'm talking about is people attempting to remove your ability to make a living.

01:11:16.000 This is an attempt to ruin, to destroy lives.

01:11:19.000 That's really what it is.

01:11:20.000 Cancel culture, people are like, oh, you're not canceled if you're still on Spotify.

01:11:24.000 No, look, they're trying to ruin Joe Rogan's life.

01:11:28.000 privately through things that he said on a public platform, by the way, in the open.

01:11:33.000 They're trying to destroy your life privately.

01:11:36.000 They're trying to remove, in Canada, all of this.

01:11:39.000 There's a through-line.

01:11:41.000 Them not allowing gas to get to these truckers is the exact same as the government saying, Spotify, you need to do more to throttle Joe Rogan.

01:11:48.000 It's the exact same as them creating the Crowder rule over at YouTube for borderline content and Senator Hirono saying, why didn't they remove this person?

01:11:54.000 It's all a symptom of the same problem.

01:11:58.000 And it's no longer about the free market versus the government.

01:12:00.000 I understand that at one point people would say, well look, if you don't like that restaurant, don't shop there.

01:12:04.000 If you don't like this show, don't watch it.

01:12:06.000 Sure, got it.

01:12:07.000 But the government wasn't saying...

01:12:09.000 Yeah, but this market's going to be allowed.

01:12:11.000 We're going to allow only Tom Thumbs.

01:12:13.000 We're going to make sure that Kroger is subject to separate regulations.

01:12:16.000 That would be what we're dealing with right now.

01:12:18.000 They didn't used to say, you know what, we're going to make sure that every single television can get ABC, but they can't get NBC back when there were only three stations.

01:12:26.000 Now we have that, actually.

01:12:27.000 Imagine if the government did that.

01:12:29.000 But the government has come out now and said, you know what?

01:12:31.000 One America News is misinformation.

01:12:33.000 And guess what?

01:12:33.000 They're dropped from cable providers.

01:12:34.000 Imagine if they'd done that with NBC.

01:12:36.000 Think that would have changed the landscape for ABC and CBS?

01:12:39.000 And by the way, what kind of messaging do you think would come from ABC or CBS?

01:12:43.000 I had to watch this in Canada.

01:12:44.000 I'll leave you with this.

01:12:45.000 And then we're going to play They Don't Make Them Like They Used To on Mug Club.

01:12:48.000 There's no way we could play that here on YouTube.

01:12:52.000 In Canada, I don't remember the exact numbers.

01:12:54.000 But I know I'm close, so I'll make sure afterwards that we have these numbers and the references available.

01:12:58.000 They were campaigning for Canadian Prime Minister.

01:13:01.000 This is before Trudeau, Prime Minister Blackface made it in. 0.70

01:13:04.000 And I believe, if I'm not mistaken, someone from the NDP said that if they won, they would give like a hundred million dollars, maybe it was 75 million, but a huge sum of money to the CBC.

01:13:13.000 For Americans, what's the CBC?

01:13:15.000 It's the only news, effectively, that we had in Canada when I was growing up.

01:13:18.000 It's the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

01:13:20.000 So a candidate Who's running for office was saying, if I win, you're going to get more money.

01:13:25.000 How do you think they're going to cover him?

01:13:26.000 But then Trudeau came in and I think if the other person said $75 million or $100 million, Trudeau added like 50% and he said, I'll give $150 million to CBC.

01:13:36.000 Oh boy.

01:13:36.000 Who do you think got the favorable coverage?

01:13:40.000 That's the issue.

01:13:40.000 When these networks, when these powerful companies believe That they can get not only favorable financial incentives, but treatment in an uneven playing field, of course they're going to do the bidding.

01:13:53.000 Because it's not just about money, it's about power and the power enables you to make more money.

01:13:58.000 Spotify, Facebook, Twitter, Google, YouTube.

01:14:02.000 Now we see GoFundMe.

01:14:03.000 You can add Patreon to that list.

01:14:06.000 If they know that the government has their eye on them and that the government will give them a leg up and eliminate their competition as we've seen, or at least Call for it.

01:14:14.000 Give them the support publicly.

01:14:15.000 Guess what?

01:14:16.000 They're going to be emboldened, and they're only going to be emboldened to do the bidding of the government.

01:14:23.000 All the Bernie bros out there, all the people who are liberals who complain about campaign finance, who complain about Citizens United, who don't fully understand what Citizens United was about, and you complain about corporatism.

01:14:33.000 Where are you on this?

01:14:35.000 Where are you on this?

01:14:38.000 There's no more clear example of crony capitalism outside of maybe the big bank bailouts, which I know you guys think was necessary, too big to fail, just like Elizabeth Warren, right, with BlackRock.

01:14:49.000 Where are you on this?

01:14:50.000 Does this not scare you?

01:14:51.000 Where are the code pinks?

01:14:53.000 We're the people who were against the Patriot Act when George Bush was president.

01:14:56.000 This is so much worse.

01:14:58.000 This is so much more of an abuse of power.

01:15:00.000 It's unprecedented in American history.

01:15:02.000 And if you go along with it, or if you apologize to these people, you are apologizing to evil.

01:15:07.000 Because people who do not have a heart for forgiveness, the Bible talks about that, those are evil people.

01:15:11.000 Smash that like button if you're watching here on YouTube right now.

01:15:14.000 It helps with the algorithm.

01:15:15.000 Comment below.

01:15:16.000 Do you apologize?

01:15:17.000 Even if you think you're wrong, I think you know where I line up.

01:15:22.000 And, uh, we're going to play.

01:15:23.000 They don't make them like they used to.

01:15:24.000 So, YouTube, you know what?

01:15:26.000 Thank you, but not really.
