It's Black Friday, and we're talking about it on the first episode of the new season of Loud and Crowder! This week, the boys discuss Black Friday and whether or not it's a racist holiday. They also talk about the new Black Friday craze, and why they think it's wrong to base a holiday on race.
00:02:18.000You know it's wrong to base a holiday on race and tell people to love a place you've never been, you'll never go, you know it's not your home, I want to go, I want to go, but it's not until I'm found!
00:04:21.000Today we're going to be talking about a lot.
00:04:22.000I don't know if you know this, but the Senate is gay, sodomy is in, heterosexual sex is out.
00:04:27.000We're going to discuss the Flying V, Vivek Ramaswamy, Vivek versus Van Jones, whereas we have also gone in versus Van Jones, and if you watch the Black and White and the Gray Issues, I talked about Van Jones being upset with Vivek, and not a single black person knew who Van Jones was, so there's that.
00:05:13.000There is a way to... Let me ask you this, a comment would help.
00:05:17.000Do you think that you are fighting right now, when we say fight like hell, to preserve the United States of America, to preserve Western civilization, or at this point are you fighting to make sure that you know who's going to be there to rebuild?
00:05:34.000Both are potentially possible, but I think that it's time to maybe accept that there might need to be some rebuilding.
00:05:40.000That maybe the country that you knew, the civilization that you knew, may not be around for your children and it's going to have to be rebuilt.
00:07:48.000Because when we were young, you had to have a crappy one that could only turn left, or you could get one of the better ones, but the battery life lasted about four minutes.
00:07:55.000Yeah, with no wheel or no steering capabilities, yeah.
00:07:58.000Yeah, now even the cheap ones that are 39 bucks, like I have a little bat wheels car for my son, and it works way better than the super expensive RC cars we'd have to get at Radio Shack.
00:08:06.000So no, it doesn't make you a bad person, it makes you a bad father.
00:08:29.000That means head on over to Rumble, but what you should ensure... Let's see, what are you about to say?
00:08:32.000Let's all be careful on how we just... is write a letter to Santa, so that Santa gives your son the RC car, and it doesn't have to be packaged, where it can have just a little, you know, tag that says, from Santa, you know, I built this personally.
00:10:59.000But Sean Strickland, you know, he's a loose cannon, and he made fun of this guy, implying that him and his coach were gay because they do all kinds of weird warm-ups, things like that, which I think is fair play between fighters.
00:11:08.000The flip side is the other guy, Mark Duplessis, commented on the fact that Sean Strickland has been very open that he had an alcoholic, abusive father.
00:11:17.000Now, Sean Strickland should expect this when he talks as much trash as he does, but I'm sure that that strikes a nerve, and I do think that's a little bit of a different level from saying, hey, you and your coach playing touch butt in the park, or whatever it is.
00:11:28.000So this is what led to their fight, this is what happened at the press conference the day before.
00:12:58.000Then he also talked about Kobe Covington and I know a lot of people out there are circulating Kobe Covington because he showed up in a George Washington outfit that he purchased at Party City.
00:13:08.000I'm amazed that some conservatives have been—the man is a fraud.
00:13:11.000And this is the problem with trash talk, just for trash talk's sake.
00:13:14.000It's why I'm considering getting off of all of it and just wiping the slate clean on New Year's, saying, you want to know what I have to say?
00:13:22.000Everyone is trying to—so let me present Kobe Cummington.
00:13:25.000He goes out and he hits a couple of buzzwords.
00:13:27.000He says, Donald Trump made America great, inflation was better, and our borders, and I fight for our troops, and the election was rigged, rigged, rigged.
00:14:02.000We've created this culture where everyone is trying to appeal, and there are so many people out there who do this, appeal, appeal to the algorithm.
00:14:08.000And the crazy thing about the algorithm these days, this is the society that we live in that keeps me up at night.
00:14:47.000It's a machine telling you, this works, this doesn't work, and people are scrolling through saying, not, do I have some kind of investment in this person?
00:16:32.000Now you combine that with the fact that, hey, Big Tech, Facebook, YouTube, Instagram, Twitter, up until recently, you think they have a vested interest in the actual kind of content you want to consume?
00:16:43.000Or you think they're going to abuse that power once it's all been consolidated?
00:16:46.000And I'm telling you, it's all being consolidated to influence, to determine what it is that you're able to view.
00:16:52.000We've seen the White House call for it.
00:16:55.000And so you have dumbasses, frauds, like Kobe Covington, who don't sell pay-per-views, by the way, say, MAGA, Trump, great!
00:17:01.000And some people go, oh yeah, okay, like.
00:17:33.000You have these comics out there now, who are rated R. You can go and see them.
00:17:37.000NC-17, XXX, they'll be humping a stool, and then I see them on their Instagram clips, and to make sure that they're not censored, they bleep out the word sex and spell it in the subtitles S-E-G-G-Z.
00:17:55.000If I'm saying rape is wrong, guess what?
00:17:57.000You will not see this on Instagram with the word rape bleeped out.
00:17:59.000We used to fear the FCC and a few guys in sweater vests, which we thought was going to be some kind of nanny state censorship bullshit, and instead we live in a society where comedians have to edit out the word sex regardless of content because you're not being censored by the FCC, but everybody!
00:19:57.000And someone takes credit for it and they make millions of dollars with these profiles without ever creating a thing.
00:20:05.000They have cancer of the funny bone and the creative bone.
00:20:09.000And these people dictate what it is that everybody consumes.
00:20:12.000Not to mention, albeit the funny bone, but... You will.
00:20:17.000I'm not saying I'm going to get off of social media, but we might just want to hit, boom, wipe the slate, delete everything that's existed, and direct people to where they can go in and see some shit in context.
00:20:33.000We have lost context in this society, and that's why I don't want to go and do some show where I'm in a quadrant view for four minutes, but I'll sit down at a black barbershop with eight people where I could have just a hailstorm of black fists and feet if I say the wrong thing.
00:20:50.000I'm more comfortable doing that than having something clipped with a gotcha.
00:20:53.000No one's trying to have a conversation.
00:20:55.000Not to mention, that content dilutes all of it.
00:20:57.000Whether it be comedy, or whether it be a fight presser or whatever, that guy coming in acting like that, it totally dilutes all the real good trash-talking, not the other one, trash-talking, and good banter back and forth, and a good drama, good story.
00:21:53.000I just want to live and die by what I say that I believe here, not by something that someone clips out of context, and that's the industry.
00:22:00.000It is determined By hacks and people who know how to tweak and work social media and have never actually created anything or met a fan of their content.
00:22:11.000That's a fundamental shift in the landscape of how we consume media.
00:22:15.000And I think, I think if you're to, if you're going to put a finer point on what is wrong and why people are so uninformed and why people are so disconnected, I think it's that big fake computer brain called the algorithm that everyone just wants to feed.
00:23:36.000Garden has released a statement after ousting one of his staffers due to their alleged involvement in a sex tape
00:23:42.000The sex tape was leaked on the social media platform X. The video allegedly shows the staffer and another man having sex in the Hart Senate office building.
00:23:51.000I wouldn't mind seeing her Senate room meeting tape, yeah?
00:23:54.000What do you want, like a DNA confirmation?
00:24:33.000Earlier last week, this Cherovsky, I hope I'm pronouncing that correctly, allegedly approached a Jewish GOP representative, Max Miller of Ohio, and said to him, free Palestine.
00:24:44.000Now, we now know it was a euphemism for his uncircumcised penis.
00:24:51.000In fairness to the staffer, who was obviously a little disturbed, it's not like there are many roofs left in Palestine for him to be thrown off of.
00:24:58.000So, you know, it's a short... Here's a couple.
00:25:05.000Now, Cherovsky said, of both of these incidents, he said, this has been a difficult time for me, as I have been attacked for who I love to pursue a political agenda.
00:25:14.000While some of my actions in the past have shown poor judgment, like, I would say, having Gay anal sex in the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing room and filming it.
00:25:27.000He went on to say, I love my job and would never disrespect my workplace by having anal sex in the Senate Judiciary Committee hearing room and filming it.
00:26:31.000We care when you move it into public office and you're sodomizing somebody while telling us that you would never disrespect- I love how the same- write the same defense.
00:26:52.000They make you feel guilty as if you're some kind of bigot or homophobe because you think you shouldn't be having sex in the Senate hearing room.
00:27:01.000If it was two straight people, you probably wouldn't.
00:28:29.000Vivek had some choice words for Van Jones, who, by the way, no black people know.
00:28:37.000I spent a lot of time, every time I do Black and White on the Gray Issues, I say Van, and they have no idea who he is.
00:28:43.000Which is why I've often said I don't think that there's a single group of people in the history of this country who are more overly represented in media without being represented at all.
00:28:50.000Joy Reid, Whoopi Goldberg, Van Jones does not represent the average black American.
00:28:55.000And to prove that, well we'll build our case, but we want to support the Flying V.
00:29:16.000Well let me just be clear, Van Jones, we'll show the clip, Van Jones said that Vivek was so disrespectful that he was literally shaking.
00:29:23.000Is there anything, not to say that you're not black enough or anything, but is there anything less black than shaking over like a fat joke about Chris Christie?
00:29:36.000So Vivek called out Van Jones for his comments that he made regarding the previous debate.
00:29:43.000I say that on that last debate stage to a bunch of Republicans that are shaking in their boots.
00:29:48.000These are the things you're not supposed to say in the Republican Party even today.
00:29:52.000And then you get the mainstream media.
00:29:55.000You got this character Van Jones on CNN afterwards saying, this is the rise of an American demagogue who's going to live 50 years longer than Trump.
00:30:45.000But it also shows you when you look at the TPUSA crowd, you know, where, like, people who are, you know, writers for, they're like bloggers on some kind of a publication that nobody reads, and they come Stomping out with fireworks, and a pyrotechnics display, like they're the heartbreak kid, and it's like, no one is there for you, and then they clip it and put it up, look at all the people who love me!
00:31:03.000Like, that just shows you how people are starved for something at least semi-genuine.
00:31:08.000Like, they reacted to that way more than, let me deliver red meat lines so I can plan my presidential run in 2034, or whatever the, I don't know what the election cycle is, it's probably 2032, I have no idea, the point remains.
00:31:22.000Because people are going, can we stop having to sanitize everything and cut it for a clip for a social media fake brain algorithm?
00:31:30.000By the way, here's a clip from Van Jones that Vivek is referring to, which I would argue is the least black moment for a media representative of all time.
00:31:38.000And the smug, condescending way that he just spews this poison out is very, very dangerous because he won't stop Trump, but he's going to outlive Trump by about 50 years.
00:31:51.000And you're watching the rise of an American demagogue that is a very, very despicable person.
00:31:57.000And I literally, I was shaking listening to him talk because a lot of people don't know that is one step away from Nazi propaganda coming out of his mouth.
00:32:25.000And you were like, did I just do that?
00:32:27.000By the way, and it wasn't just this comment, to be clear, Van Jones was mad at all of the vague aura of being disrespectful, but this is something that particularly bothered Van Jones, these comments where he said, the Great Replacement Theory is not some grand right-wing conspiracy theory, but a basic statement of the Democratic Party's platform.
00:33:35.000Now, some people may use it in regards to race, but there is more to it than that, and I will tell you the idea that Westerners, the idea that people who love this country and what it's meant to be are being replaced proactively, that's absolutely true.
00:33:49.000You can call that replacement theory, but don't believe me.
00:33:52.000Believe your lion eyes and ears and let the Democrats tell you for themselves.
00:33:56.000It seems harder and harder to ignore that the echoes of replacement theory In a few years we're going to be a majority brown country.
00:34:08.000White people will not be the majority in the country anymore.
00:34:11.000This will be the first generation ever in American history in which whites will be a minority of the generation at some point.
00:34:19.000As of 2007, every year babies being born in this country, whites now are the minority.
00:34:24.000In 2044, everyone is going to be a minority.
00:34:27.000As the demographics change, as white people become the minority in the country, which is coming.
00:34:46.000The white population is declining for the first time in history in America, while the number of multiracial Americans have more than doubled.
00:34:54.000So we live in a country where the demographics are changing, it's becoming less white.
00:36:13.000And I want to go back to the point that you just ranted on is why they can get away with doing this to the bank because when he says great replacement theory or the replacement theory or he says the January 6th was an inside job and he tries to explain it but the CNN lady continually cuts him off for minutes while he's trying to give you the context behind what he's saying.
00:36:32.000It's because they don't want the context out there.
00:36:35.000Because he's not saying what they think he's saying, the one step away from Nazi propaganda.
00:36:41.000He's saying something that we're saying.
00:36:43.000This is what y'all have been telling us for years, Democrats.
00:36:45.000Well that's often, for example, like something like Piers Morgan was known for doing.
00:36:48.000We would cut you off, try and frame you in with a very specific question, and I may be on his show here in the next couple of days.
00:36:54.000Hopefully it's a productive discussion.
00:36:55.000I usually don't like doing these shows because I don't believe in them.
00:36:58.000That's why we do Change My Mind, that's why we do what we do here, because I actually enjoy and find some value in real conversations, but they try and cut you off.
00:37:06.000Oh, so you mean racist, you mean racist, you mean... No, you listen to what they say.
00:37:09.000They're talking about replacing people who love this country with people who want free things.
00:37:15.000Now, just to be clear, I would rather have 10 migrants from Uganda who take the naturalization oath and want to start businesses, work hard, and love what this country is about.
00:37:26.000I would rather have 10 of those than one Swedish socialist.
00:37:29.000But the reality is, we're not getting a massive influx of Swedish socialists.
00:37:34.000We're getting a lot of people from South America who are not fleeing oppressive governments, but they see a social safety net of free stuff That the left dangles like a carrot saying, ah, ah, you want free stuff?
00:37:44.000You have to vote for all the depravity that comes with it.
00:37:47.000That's the replacement that is taking place.
00:37:50.000And it's exacerbated by the same leftists who run your social media, who run the information of 90% of what you read.
00:38:14.000Some of the most, and I don't know if you've experienced this as well, some of the people that I've run into that are the most Proud to be here.
00:38:20.000Most thankful for what we have are people who came from somewhere else where it was objectively worse.
00:38:40.000That's not necessarily true today, even from those same places, because a lot of people today, there's a huge difference between, for example, the Irish, the Jews who came to America, the Italians, when it was Go risk it!
00:40:27.000They said, yeah, they have job placement, they have that at least in prison, I mean, it often doesn't work, but at least they have it.
00:40:31.000I said, great, but right now you go collect your check, there's no drug test, and you don't ever have to prove that you're going back to work.
00:40:38.000Some people will say you do, but let's be honest, you don't.
00:40:40.000That's how you have people on the welfare system for 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 years.
00:40:51.000Go out and talk to people, not through a screen.
00:40:54.000You'll be amazed as to the common ground.
00:40:57.000The problem that is happening, this brings us to a macro segment here that we really want to touch on, is the West is being, if it's being conquered, it is being conquered from within.
00:41:16.000And that includes a lot of Western Europe, to be clear.
00:41:18.000It's Western civilization undoing everything that we have done To make this the place, particularly the United States, the place where everyone wants to come.
00:43:32.000So that was O Canada being performed in Punjabi.
00:43:35.000Now let me be very clear here, I have to say it's one of the many official languages in India because in another example of where I think Western society should do it right, I say one of the languages in India because there are 22 official languages in India.
00:43:52.000I didn't even know that was up on earth.
00:43:54.000There's Hindi, there's Punjabi, there's Bengali, there's also English.
00:43:56.000So hey, if there's also English in India, just speak English!
00:45:25.000And the inclusive part is every single person who also speaks Punjabi, who's there at the game, can now take part in your culture and hear the national anthem in your language before you punch each other's teeth out.
00:45:40.000That didn't even sound good either, Stephen.
00:46:14.000I think it was someone who was maybe on Piers Morgan, maybe was on someone else's podcast saying, oh, I'm so tired of talking about the trans issue.
00:46:23.000It's people pushing back and saying you can't allow men and women sports because you pushed it.
00:46:29.000Don't gaslight people into saying why are you talking about this because you changed it.
00:46:33.000If you say now we're going to sing the national anthem in all of these other languages, by the way some of these languages exclusively spoken in countries that share nothing in common with our values, the pushback, the pushback is not keeping it relevant.
00:46:47.000It's that you didn't even allow a conversation to take place.
00:46:57.000In Minnesota, they've now just released a new concept for the state flag.
00:47:03.000The fringe is the entire Democrat party and the entire progressive left who run all of the major platforms with the exception of sometimes Twitter slash X and of course Rumble, which is more of a media site.
00:47:18.000So this is from Minnesota representative Mike Freeberg.
00:47:21.000He's leading this flag redesign and he called the current state flag a cluttered genocidal mess.
00:48:23.000But the idea is that it's largely, or at one point was largely, a white state.
00:48:28.000So to have a Native American, as majestic on horseback as he may be, I have to say that this is a genocidal mess before someone comes down on me for not calling out the clearly not racist flag.
00:48:39.000None of this is based on positive change.
00:48:42.000It's based on everyone trying to step through a minefield and avoid being punished.
00:48:53.000When no one wakes up anymore and says, how do I actually make this place better?
00:48:56.000But they wake up and say, dodge that bullet, which one's coming at me today?
00:49:02.000So while we're talking about this, Native Americans, as though I haven't heard any Native Americans be outraged, certainly not enough of a percentage for the flag to be changed, one of the staunchest defenders of Native rights was an insane person, and the governor of Minnesota,
00:49:18.000commonly referred to as the bod, Jesse Ventura.
00:49:21.000I think we all need to take a look in the mirror, Larry, and remember, unless you're
00:49:25.000a Native American, you're an immigrant.
00:49:28.000And I think we white people have lost sight of that fact, that we were immigrants too.
00:49:32.000I haven't because I marched in the protest Sunday against the Washington nickname for the NFL and it was a wonderful protest.
00:49:40.000We exercised our First Amendment rights.
00:49:42.000There was no pepper spray, no chemicals used, no confrontations.
00:49:48.000We got our point across and it showed the greatness of America Sunday in marching in Minnesota against the Washington nickname of the NFL.
00:54:08.000Your flipper children belong to me now.
00:54:13.000I don't want, look, do you want to live in a country where Ilhan Omar and Rashida Tlaib get to claim that they represent more Americans, and then an asshat like Kevin McCarthy says the Democrat Party at least represents America more than our Republican country?
00:54:29.000This is, look, when we talk about the replacement theory, or people talk about identity, It has nothing to do with race.
00:54:38.000I should say it has very little to do with race.
00:54:40.000It doesn't have nothing to do with race, to be clear.
00:54:43.000It just so happens that a lot of people coming to this country now tend to be coming from South American countries or Middle Eastern countries, so sure, they're different than the majority of the racial makeup here, which is largely white, and they don't share the same values, but it brings you back to the same place.
00:54:56.000A lack of identity in this country when it comes to values.
00:55:55.000Of course they freed him upon their death.
00:55:56.000That was the only way to do it back then.
00:55:57.000Then we go to Teddy Roosevelt, who created the first national parks program, which you guys should be thrilled about, even went to Abraham Lincoln.
00:56:04.000So it's not enough in this country for Abraham Lincoln, who might have held slightly racist views, sure, because he was a product of that time, but freed the slaves.
00:56:11.000But we want to bring people in from countries where they still have slavery.
00:57:13.000The left in trying to pander and change this country into something that it is not for a very specific subset of a generation of people It doesn't work anyway!
00:57:23.000They'll never be proud of this country!
00:59:21.000In combat, are you gonna be like, look, I swear, if they give me this food one more time, and by the way, that guy, he keeps shooting at night, and I can't sleep.
01:03:07.000It was just like, yeah, and you're like, hey, I'm proud of my country, Air Force movies, Fantastic Jets, the United States leading the way, great.
01:03:16.000With Top Gun Maverick, everybody's like, oh, thank God, we finally had a movie that didn't take a steaming dump on America, and it actually performed incredibly well.
01:03:24.000Like, there's a huge group of people that just want to be proud of their country, and they have plenty of reason to be proud of their country, but the media tells them they don't.
01:03:34.000Antagonists that are, like, military characters, like a colonel or an admiral, like a hard-ass that just ruins all the fun and no one likes him.
01:05:50.000The progressive left, they are actively attempting to erase the identity of this country.
01:05:56.000They do so by erasing flags, historical monuments, wanting to change the Constitution, our Bill of Rights, and then they appeal to immigrants who have no desire to be American whatsoever, while browbeating you for being proud of your American heritage, and then of course condemning you if you talk about the replacement theory, which they have actively admitted.
01:06:47.000And I asked you earlier in the show, in case you've tuned in later, do you think that you are fighting to preserve the United States of America now, or do you think that now you're really just keeping an eye out for who's going to help rebuild?
01:07:10.000To give you an A-B comparison, Michelle Obama, when her husband became president, I use the term loosely, when her husband became president, she said, for the first time, I actually felt proud of my country.
01:07:26.000I will tell you this, for the first time in my lifetime, I would say the last year, two years, really post-COVID, and the rapid expansion of LGBTQAIP And racial theory, black liberation, theology.
01:07:46.000For the first time in my adult life, I don't know that I'm proud of what we've become.
01:07:55.000She had never been proud to be American, and she only became proud to be an American when her husband became president.
01:08:03.000I have always been proud to be American and love this country, but for the first time, I worry if we look back on the historical record for the first time in my life, I might say, hey, in a lot of instances there, we were wrong and maybe we were the bad guy.
01:08:32.000The monster, the screens, the algorithm, when that's off, there's a huge difference between the society that we lived in where you tuned into Carson and you shut it off.
01:08:41.000And the next morning you got up, you ate your breakfast, you went to school, you went to
01:08:43.000work, you spoke with people, you went out, you were a part of some social clubs or sporting
01:08:47.000activities, part of society, and then maybe you watched a couple of shows.
01:08:51.000Charlie Rose, maybe Carson, maybe Letterman, went back to...
01:08:54.000That's not the same as you get up, you look at a screen where you are being indoctrinated.
01:09:00.000When you're at your school, your job, you're largely looking at a screen.
01:09:03.000And if you're not, you're thinking about looking at that screen.
01:09:05.000And when you get home, you are looking at that screen.
01:09:08.000It's the first thing many people see when they wake up in the morning.
01:09:11.000It's the last thing they see when they go to bed.
01:09:13.000And it's the number one thing that is always on their mind.
01:09:17.000And that is a portal to a monster that has no humanity by design.
01:09:45.000We went from long form to shorter form to several second form.
01:09:50.000We went from newspapers, and I get it, they were always biased, we went from books, stories by the campfire, to newspapers, to reading blogs and online articles, to just headlines, to now just captions that again have to feed this God-forsaken, and I don't use that in vain, God-forsaken algorithm because there is nothing holy there.
01:10:22.000That there's nothing to be proud of in this country.
01:10:24.000Well, you know what, if you look around, maybe not today, there's a lot to be proud of.
01:10:27.000If you get off those social media ghettos for a second, do a little bit of research, this whole planet, this whole globe was fundamentally changed by one country that left the world's greatest superpower one century to become the only world superpower the next century.
01:10:42.000It's never been done before or since, not even close.
