00:00:01.000 Hey there, glad to be with you.
00:00:02.000 Sometimes we do these cold opens.
00:00:04.000 You know, this is the last week of free mug club months, so if you want this to continue, we do encourage you to go and sign up.
00:00:10.000 But I want to take an opportunity to talk about something here.
00:00:13.000 I know, don't look at this, I just went midget height.
00:00:17.000 People often talk about mental health in this country, and they only do it when either a celebrity dies, or there's a shooting and it's thrown around like a political football.
00:00:25.000 And it's very generalized.
00:00:27.000 And in meeting some of you this weekend, there was one person in particular who discussed with me that, you know, this show has helped this person.
00:00:34.000 And thank you to that lady whom I spoke with at, I'll just say it, Quick Trip.
00:00:38.000 It wasn't Racetrack.
00:00:41.000 Maybe you want to take a second to talk about this.
00:00:43.000 We talk about mental health.
00:00:44.000 It's often very generalized.
00:00:45.000 And what people will often say, you'll see whether it's on CNN or somewhere else, they say, you know, don't be afraid to go get help.
00:00:50.000 And by the way, that still stands.
00:00:52.000 Just to be clear, you should get help.
00:00:56.000 Help is good.
00:00:57.000 By the way, it's the red tide.
00:00:58.000 I'm sick here today in case you're wondering about my voice.
00:01:01.000 But I also understand That some of you out there may not know where to go for help.
00:01:08.000 You, right now, may feel like you can't afford help, or maybe you're in a rut and that first step seems monumental, to go into an office, to meet somebody, do a pre-interview and get some help.
00:01:18.000 Well, let me tell you something.
00:01:19.000 I've done it.
00:01:20.000 I've been getting help, for lack of a better word, for most of my adult life, and hopefully I can impart some of that help here, without you taking that first step, which I encourage you to do.
00:01:32.000 First let me describe what sometimes this feels like, and ask yourself if it's you.
00:01:40.000 Some people are just wired this way.
00:01:42.000 And by the way, sometimes rewiring needs to take place, and you can do it, but it's a matter of degree.
00:01:48.000 But for some people out there, joy is harder maybe to come by for you.
00:01:53.000 People often talk about depression or anxiety.
00:01:55.000 Let's put a finer point on it.
00:01:57.000 Is joy harder to come by for you as it is for some people?
00:02:00.000 And that's just a fact.
00:02:01.000 Some people aren't naturally as joyous.
00:02:05.000 For me, I often experience joy through other people.
00:02:09.000 It's why I always liked coaching more than competing.
00:02:11.000 It's why I love doing Change My Minds rather than debates.
00:02:14.000 It's why we do the show the way that we do because bringing you joy is kind of one of those things that for me does help part those clouds and it imparts a sense of purpose.
00:02:26.000 Does this describe you?
00:02:28.000 For me, sometimes my personal victories don't feel as big as maybe They are, to an outside observer, and the failures, no matter how small, feel cataclysmic.
00:02:41.000 Does that describe you?
00:02:44.000 Is that what you're dealing with?
00:02:45.000 Okay, so if you haven't gotten help yet, let me tell you what I do believe is the biggest help and has been the biggest help for me by far.
00:02:53.000 Even though these are just some steps, not a solution, and the show is meant to be helpful, meant to actually in a tangible way, in a quantifiable way, help you live your life.
00:03:04.000 I'm completely confident the steps I'm about to outline will help everyone, not cure everyone, but help everyone and at the very least do no harm.
00:03:11.000 They're not capable.
00:03:12.000 of doing harm. And just for reference, yes, there are longer books out there that will
00:03:18.000 help you more in depth. Jordan Peterson's 12 Rules for Life, fantastic. This is not
00:03:22.000 a panacea or a replacement, but this is how I can best distill and offer, I guess, that
00:03:27.000 first rung on the ladder. It's three things. Again, if this describes you.
00:03:31.000 Number one, your overall health.
00:03:33.000 Nutrition, physical activity, sleep.
00:03:35.000 If you haven't even tried that, let alone dialed it in, do that first.
00:03:39.000 Okay, before you take a pill, and I'm not saying that there's no appropriate scenario to take a pill, dial in your physical health.
00:03:44.000 It will help everyone.
00:03:47.000 And with that comes, more importantly, structure and discipline to achieve that, which brings me to number two.
00:03:52.000 I want you to try a 60-day challenge here.
00:03:56.000 This isn't a meme, it's not owling, nothing like that.
00:03:58.000 It's not Tide Pods.
00:03:59.000 I want you to try 60 days doing these things.
00:04:02.000 Your mental health, meaning your physical health, your diet, your exercise, your sleep.
00:04:07.000 And I want you to change your mind to a mindset of get up and do it anyway.
00:04:10.000 Okay?
00:04:12.000 Try it for 60 days.
00:04:13.000 Switch your mindset to that of, it sounds simple.
00:04:17.000 But do the steps required to do this to get up and do it anyway.
00:04:21.000 Don't feel like getting out of bed?
00:04:22.000 Get up and do it anyway.
00:04:24.000 Don't feel like going to the gym?
00:04:25.000 Get up and do it anyway.
00:04:26.000 Don't feel like calling your mom, which you know you owe?
00:04:31.000 Get up and do it anyway.
00:04:34.000 The same, by the way, applies to the rest of these.
00:04:36.000 If you don't feel like taking time to contemplate, to recover, to plan, get up and do it anyway.
00:04:43.000 For 60 days, try that.
00:04:45.000 And then I want you to combine this with, I've talked about this before, but I think it's important and worth reiterating, number three, gratitude.
00:04:52.000 And I don't mean this like some Pinterest quote.
00:04:56.000 I get it.
00:04:57.000 Everyone has their cross to bear.
00:04:59.000 For some of you, right now, watching, listening, it's worse than others.
00:05:03.000 Some of you have had some tough breaks, too.
00:05:06.000 But every day, and I do this through prayer, often my prayers are simply giving thanks.
00:05:11.000 I want you to actually go through this mental exercise and not just say, oh, I'm thankful.
00:05:18.000 What do you have to be grateful for?
00:05:22.000 Do you have a roof over your head?
00:05:24.000 Are you able to feed yourself every day?
00:05:26.000 Do you have children that you love?
00:05:27.000 Do you have family that you love?
00:05:29.000 Do you have a good friend?
00:05:30.000 Do you have one good friend?
00:05:34.000 And sometimes it's hard for us to identify the blessings that we do have when we're in a rut, and no one understands that more than me.
00:05:41.000 It's not lost on me.
00:05:42.000 If you find yourself in a rough bind, I want you to do this.
00:05:44.000 Picture a world in which you remove even the small amount of comfort or goods that you have.
00:05:50.000 If you're watching or listening to this, let me ask you, what would your life look like if you couldn't?
00:05:56.000 Something simple.
00:05:56.000 If you couldn't afford a phone, tablet, TV, internet, whatever it is that you use to enjoy this, do you have children?
00:06:05.000 There are people out there whose children right now have been kidnapped, never to be seen again.
00:06:11.000 I cannot imagine anything worse.
00:06:13.000 Watched a film this weekend where that took place, made me sick to my stomach.
00:06:17.000 It's probably the worst fear I can imagine.
00:06:19.000 Is that not you?
00:06:20.000 Are your children safe?
00:06:21.000 Are they even in a country where they largely can be safe?
00:06:25.000 Maybe you don't have kids.
00:06:27.000 What if your best friend right now, your one good friend, was just diagnosed with terminal cancer?
00:06:31.000 Would that change your life?
00:06:33.000 Would that change your life?
00:06:35.000 Are you grateful that that's not the case today?
00:06:39.000 And I know there are different severities to this, but if you can imagine in any way something important to you right now being stripped away, and that can happen to any of us at any given moment, would you appreciate it more?
00:06:54.000 Because then if you do, you not only start to focus, but elevate the things in your life that you appreciate, you start to value them.
00:07:00.000 And then you tend to create or at least recognize the other things of value in your life.
00:07:05.000 Part of this was inspired by the fact that yes, it's this red tide. 0.89
00:07:08.000 Sick.
00:07:09.000 It's not the worst that I've had. 0.93
00:07:11.000 Worse than COVID for sure.
00:07:12.000 That was a walk in the park.
00:07:14.000 When you're sick, you ever notice it's almost impossible, like, to think of anything else?
00:07:19.000 You know, you have a headache, throat, body aches, whatever it is.
00:07:21.000 All you can think about is your inability to do things that you would normally do in your day-to-day life.
00:07:26.000 Just yesterday night, I was thinking, hey, remember breathing?
00:07:32.000 That was great.
00:07:35.000 Remember when I could breathe without all this?
00:07:36.000 Yeah, breathing was a lot of fun.
00:07:38.000 Then once you recover, you ever experience this?
00:07:40.000 The rebound effect?
00:07:41.000 You feel like King Kong.
00:07:43.000 Maybe you notice your strength in the gym.
00:07:44.000 It feels like those weights are sailing, sailing out of there.
00:07:47.000 Maybe it's your mental acuity, but there is that rebound effect.
00:07:50.000 But to you right now, if you're not sick right now, how often do you say to yourself, man, isn't it great to not be sick?
00:07:56.000 I have so much energy and ability, relatively speaking, or do you take it for granted?
00:08:02.000 See, gratitude is not just about recognizing serious issues that need addressing or your improvement.
00:08:09.000 But that sickness rebound that I'm talking about, I'm talking about feeling and thinking that way every day before it's stripped from you.
00:08:18.000 Preemptively create your own rebound effect, not after.
00:08:21.000 So no, I do not have all the answers.
00:08:23.000 That's not what this is about.
00:08:24.000 I hate it when people go on Instagram and say, just one more rep, whatever.
00:08:28.000 That's not what this is.
00:08:30.000 But if you are looking for some answers, just for some improvement, for 60 days, try these three things.
00:08:36.000 One, take care of your health.
00:08:39.000 Two, get up and do it anyway.
00:08:40.000 Switch your mindset to that.
00:08:41.000 And three, list what you are grateful for, what you appreciate as often as you can do it.
00:08:46.000 And then after that, hopefully, you go get some help.
00:08:48.000 Because life gets better.
00:08:50.000 Things get better.
00:08:52.000 And yes, you cannot control everything.
00:08:54.000 That's absolutely true.
00:08:56.000 But there are things you can control right now to make your life better.
00:08:59.000 60 days.
00:09:02.000 Start now.
00:09:03.000 Immediately.
00:09:04.000 Try it.
00:09:05.000 Love you.
00:09:05.000 On with the show.
00:09:09.000 I don't know what to say.
00:09:11.000 Really.
00:09:13.000 It all comes down to today.
00:09:15.000 Now either we heal, as a mug club, We're in progressive hell right now, gentlemen.
00:09:26.000 Believe me. 0.99
00:09:28.000 And we can stand around and get the s*** kicked out of us. 0.98
00:09:34.000 Or we can claw our way back into the light. 0.99
00:09:39.000 We can climb out of hell.
00:09:42.000 Now I can't do it for you.
00:09:44.000 I'm too old.
00:09:47.000 I mean, I look at all these young muglovers' faces, and I think...
00:09:54.000 I made every wrong choice a late-twenties, early-thirty-year-olds guy could make.
00:10:01.000 I I, uh... I pissed off all the social media giants.
00:10:09.000 I pushed away every Hollywood agent who's ever represented me.
00:10:15.000 You know, when you come out as a conservative, Things get taken from you.
00:10:21.000 I mean, that's a part of life.
00:10:24.000 But you only learn that part when people start calling you a Nazi.
00:10:31.000 And you find out that life is a game of inches.
00:10:38.000 And so's Mug Club.
00:10:41.000 They're trying to shut us down.
00:10:44.000 The inches we need are everywhere around this muck club. 0.98
00:10:49.000 In this muck club, we fight for that inch. 0.91
00:10:55.000 In this muck club, we tear ourselves to pieces, throw ourselves at super videos, we change minds, and we even make trombones for that inch. 0.82
00:11:07.000 Because we know, when we add up all those Mug Club ballots, and all those minds change, that's gonna mean the f***ing difference between winning or losing! 0.98
00:11:21.000 And either we vote now as one Mug Club, or we get banned. 0.65
00:11:29.000 That's individual.
00:11:32.000 That's Mug Club, guys.
00:11:36.000 That's all it is.
00:11:40.000 Now!
00:11:42.000 What are you gonna do?
00:11:44.000 Join Mock Club today!
00:11:54.000 Hey! 0.99
00:11:56.000 or die as individuals. 0.67
00:11:59.000 I'm going to play a little bit of this.
00:12:38.000 Ah, delicious.
00:12:39.000 That's not going to solve this red tide, though.
00:12:41.000 What's going on with my throat?
00:12:43.000 I don't think the red tide is doing me any favors.
00:12:47.000 Glad to be with you.
00:12:47.000 A lot of opens.
00:12:49.000 We have a lot to get to today.
00:12:51.000 Riots in Chicago.
00:12:52.000 I know what you're thinking.
00:12:54.000 This is a rerun.
00:12:55.000 I've seen this.
00:12:55.000 No, no, no.
00:12:56.000 This is live.
00:12:57.000 New riots.
00:12:57.000 You can bring up CNN there.
00:12:58.000 See?
00:12:58.000 Nothing up our sleeves.
00:12:59.000 It's new riots.
00:13:00.000 It's new Chicago.
00:13:02.000 It's a new branding effort.
00:13:03.000 Something else, too.
00:13:04.000 We've talked about this for a while.
00:13:06.000 And what's funny is actually, like, my ears are so blocked up right now that, like, nothing sounds right in my ears.
00:13:12.000 Oh, you sound fine to me.
00:13:13.000 Do I sound normal?
00:13:14.000 Yeah.
00:13:14.000 You sound like you're in the Mario level underwater.
00:13:16.000 Remember I told you about this a long time ago?
00:13:20.000 And we were actually suspended from YouTube for the title of it, that they're coming for your kids, the trans, the LGBTQ AIP.
00:13:28.000 Well, now it's very clear.
00:13:29.000 You always need to ask yourself, what would the left do?
00:13:31.000 What would Democrats do?
00:13:32.000 Not what happens nationally, what happens when they have power completely unfettered?
00:13:36.000 You see what's happening in Washington State.
00:13:38.000 And the bill now that is going through, you know, it went from the state house, was amended, now it's going back through, it looks like it's going to pass, is as evil as it gets.
00:13:46.000 It's as evil as it gets and it is.
00:13:48.000 I think we're all going to die.
00:14:18.000 Ha ha ha ha!
00:14:19.000 That was your weekend?
00:14:20.000 It's possible that we all die.
00:14:21.000 I was fooling around with a chat GPT and I was like, this is way more than a Furby. 0.94
00:14:28.000 I'm doing well.
00:14:28.000 Apparently, you're not, though.
00:14:29.000 We're all gonna die.
00:14:30.000 Yeah, apparently.
00:14:31.000 Well, I mean, eventually.
00:14:32.000 Nobody gets out of this game alive.
00:14:33.000 No, exactly.
00:14:34.000 That's the thing.
00:14:35.000 It's all a game.
00:14:35.000 Oh, by the way, tomorrow on the show, we have Jim Brewer on the show.
00:14:38.000 This is the, of course, you know, the last month of free Mug Club Month.
00:14:41.000 Lionelscrowder.com slash Mug Club.
00:14:43.000 Last week, sorry.
00:14:44.000 Free Mug Club Month. 0.95
00:14:45.000 You're sick. 0.89
00:14:45.000 We'll give you a pass. 0.89
00:14:46.000 You can give me a pass.
00:14:48.000 And then we have in third chair actually here today is Pops Crowder.
00:14:51.000 How you doing, sir?
00:14:51.000 I'm doing great.
00:14:52.000 You mentioned Jordan Peterson, and I thought, did I forget to make my bed?
00:14:58.000 Took me off my game.
00:14:59.000 Mom doesn't make the bed? 1.00
00:15:01.000 She was in it.
00:15:03.000 We're gonna make it with her in it?
00:15:05.000 I mean, you can.
00:15:06.000 Your side.
00:15:06.000 Saran wrap her to the pillow?
00:15:08.000 Gerald, on any given Sunday clip, would Jamie Foxx be an actual football player?
00:15:13.000 No.
00:15:14.000 No?
00:15:15.000 Not at all.
00:15:15.000 His head was below the shelf level of the...
00:15:19.000 Like a changing area.
00:15:20.000 You could pick some guys that can, you know, actually look like football players.
00:15:23.000 Like Garrett.
00:15:24.000 Yeah, Garrett fit better than any of those guys.
00:15:26.000 Yes, he did.
00:15:26.000 Quarterback did.
00:15:27.000 Hey, my question of the day, by the way, to you, is what would you do if your significant other came out as trans?
00:15:33.000 What?
00:15:33.000 Would you be phobic?
00:15:36.000 I don't know how that plays into the vows.
00:15:38.000 How does that play into vows there, Gerald, in Christian theology?
00:15:43.000 I don't believe.
00:15:44.000 I believe it mentions it somewhere near the back.
00:15:50.000 I think there's an out clause somewhere.
00:15:52.000 A reasonable clause.
00:15:53.000 And we have more on Mug Club today.
00:15:55.000 We have Hipster Hobo.
00:15:56.000 We have Quip of the Week.
00:15:57.000 And of course, if you join Mug Club, you get all of Nick DiPaolo's show and more content coming.
00:16:01.000 And you said you're fine.
00:16:02.000 That's not true, Pop Scratter.
00:16:03.000 You were the one who gave me this. 1.00
00:16:04.000 You were sick. 0.99
00:16:05.000 I didn't give you the red tide, though.
00:16:06.000 Were you guys kissing?
00:16:07.000 What's going on?
00:16:08.000 I just got rid of my lozenges.
00:16:11.000 He had a visit with the Dalai Lama.
00:16:13.000 Oh yeah. 1.00
00:16:16.000 That's right, we have a 7 plus 1 on the Dalai Lama, because he likes having sex with kids. 1.00
00:16:20.000 Oh, wow. 1.00
00:16:20.000 So, I mean, I said he likes it. 1.00
00:16:22.000 Doesn't sound like Buddhism at all.
00:16:24.000 Well.
00:16:24.000 So before any of that, last week, now non-binary artist Sam Smith did a whole demon, fat, trans thing in his Tour de Force performance.
00:16:37.000 Wait, where'd it go?
00:16:37.000 There it is.
00:16:40.000 That's Sam Smith?
00:16:46.000 That's Sam Smith.
00:16:47.000 That's awful.
00:16:49.000 He looks like Boy George VIII, Boy George.
00:16:55.000 That's Sam Smith?
00:16:56.000 The power of Christ compels you!
00:16:58.000 Do we have a side-by-side?
00:16:59.000 Sam Smith was a good-looking chap.
00:17:01.000 He got pretty rough looking.
00:17:03.000 Oh my goodness.
00:17:04.000 Like the Queen of England now.
00:17:08.000 She's dead, by the way.
00:17:10.000 He means Camilla.
00:17:12.000 It really is, now it really is like a physical disease, leftism.
00:17:16.000 It really, yeah, it changes you.
00:17:18.000 We should do a before and after.
00:17:19.000 We've got Riley here.
00:17:20.000 We should do, like, if she went down the left. 0.73
00:17:23.000 Oh, yes.
00:17:24.000 Yeah, absolutely.
00:17:26.000 No, I don't want to do that because all of you in the comments, in the chat, you know, Riley, she was obviously the lovely lady in the California video.
00:17:32.000 You meant to be complimentary, but you were largely committing sexual assault.
00:17:37.000 She's married.
00:17:37.000 Yes.
00:17:38.000 And she's married. 0.94
00:17:39.000 Even the compliments are disgusting. 0.74
00:17:40.000 That is Sam Smith!
00:17:42.000 She got great reviews in that though.
00:17:43.000 She did a really good job.
00:17:44.000 She got disgustingly great reviews. 0.98
00:17:45.000 That's the problem.
00:17:46.000 You know what I love about that?
00:17:48.000 I didn't hear a lot of people cheering.
00:17:49.000 I heard some.
00:17:50.000 Let me see it again.
00:17:51.000 He had to... Let me see it again.
00:17:53.000 Are you sure?
00:17:53.000 Yeah, one more time.
00:17:54.000 You suck! 1.00
00:17:55.000 I mean, there's some. 1.00
00:18:01.000 By the way, there's no choreography or rhythm.
00:18:03.000 No.
00:18:04.000 That's the thing.
00:18:04.000 It's just like, ah, it's enough.
00:18:05.000 I'm going to put this on there.
00:18:07.000 Like, I think it's enough, like, like pomp and circumstance.
00:18:09.000 The costume speaks for itself.
00:18:11.000 That's all.
00:18:12.000 Shock without the talent.
00:18:12.000 We don't need any actual, yeah.
00:18:13.000 Come on, some theater here.
00:18:15.000 It's a performance.
00:18:15.000 Just go like Macho Man and it comes out MONODROUS IS SEATING WHEEL
00:18:19.000 🎵 Listen brothers
00:18:30.000 Nobody more macho than Sam Smith.
00:18:34.000 I did a James Bond song.
00:18:36.000 Oh, yeah.
00:18:37.000 You should be wearing more clothes.
00:18:40.000 That was a national treasure.
00:18:41.000 Macho man. 0.61
00:18:42.000 He's savage. 0.89
00:18:43.000 He was.
00:18:43.000 I just love that guy.
00:18:44.000 That guy inspired me when I was a kid.
00:18:46.000 Like, what is this?
00:18:48.000 This is a real thing?
00:18:49.000 Mine was the Von Erics.
00:18:50.000 I thought the iron claw actually worked.
00:18:52.000 Oh, really?
00:18:53.000 Yeah, it doesn't.
00:18:53.000 Yeah, no, that's the problem.
00:18:54.000 That's what I got into.
00:18:55.000 I tried to do the claw and then got knocked out.
00:18:56.000 No, really?
00:18:57.000 No.
00:18:58.000 Well, there are Asian martial arts that think it actually works.
00:19:02.000 Exactly.
00:19:03.000 Monkey Claw! 0.99
00:19:03.000 I have dim mark! 0.99
00:19:04.000 What does that mean? 1.00
00:19:05.000 Means I go like this on neck, you kick my ass! 1.00
00:19:08.000 Oh! 1.00
00:19:09.000 I guess you want more! 1.00
00:19:10.000 You kick my ass! 1.00
00:19:11.000 There's reason for weight classes! 1.00
00:19:15.000 There's a reason for weight classes, little railroad worker! 1.00
00:19:19.000 Oh yeah!
00:19:21.000 Is he the guy that wore the tourniquet on his biceps to pump them up?
00:19:24.000 No, that was Ultimate Warrior.
00:19:25.000 Oh, yeah, that was the Ultimate Warrior.
00:19:26.000 That was Ultimate Warrior.
00:19:26.000 Macho Man Randy Savage was fantastic.
00:19:28.000 Hey, by the way, it's a live show Monday through Friday, 10 a.m.
00:19:31.000 Eastern.
00:19:31.000 Just so you know, don't worry about notifications because they don't work on YouTube.
00:19:36.000 Anyway, let's just get into, I guess, let's get into Chicago riots.
00:19:38.000 If you see, I should let you know, we have the YouTube dump button.
00:19:40.000 We had to hit it in the intro today.
00:19:42.000 If at any point, if you're not watching on Rumble, head on over to Rumble.
00:19:44.000 If you see and hear this on YouTube, That means that it's still running.
00:19:51.000 You can see all of it on Rumble.
00:19:52.000 Okay.
00:19:53.000 Let's go to Chicago first.
00:19:57.000 Wonderful.
00:19:57.000 Just a skip and a hop away from your hometown of Detroit.
00:20:01.000 Sister City.
00:20:02.000 It wasn't a one trick pony though, like Detroit.
00:20:04.000 Right.
00:20:05.000 Yeah.
00:20:05.000 I don't think we're allowed to say sister anymore.
00:20:06.000 Sister City.
00:20:07.000 Yeah.
00:20:07.000 It's just a, it's a non-binary city.
00:20:10.000 It's a city that could be a chick or could be a guy on any given day. 1.00
00:20:14.000 Oh yeah.
00:20:15.000 The Step City.
00:20:16.000 Yes.
00:20:18.000 So, on Saturday night, hundreds of teens swarmed downtown Chicago for a good old-fashioned burn down the city.
00:20:32.000 Oh, sorry, wrong clip.
00:20:37.000 Sudan.
00:20:38.000 That's international news, we're not doing that right now.
00:20:40.000 Here's the footage from the riots in Chicago who can never get anything right by design.
00:20:45.000 Wait for it.
00:20:54.000 Wait until it becomes World War Z. Watch, they start running toward the camera.
00:21:05.000 At that point, you'd run away.
00:21:10.000 Mostly peaceful.
00:21:12.000 Now, now you notice by the way the one thing that makes everyone there scatter?
00:21:30.000 Later! 0.71
00:21:31.000 Gunshot.
00:21:32.000 That's the one thing they make sure that you can't have in Chicago.
00:21:35.000 I'm not saying go on the street as a vigilante.
00:21:37.000 I'm saying to protect your own house as it gets looted and burned, right?
00:21:40.000 A lot of people watch this and they go, hey, they're out there, they're rioting.
00:21:43.000 Do you take into account that people can be in buildings that are burned that happened with the riots?
00:21:48.000 Do you remember the story of the man who knew that his wife and daughter were in an apartment that was being burned and the fire department couldn't get there?
00:21:54.000 It's not just about these people needing space to destroy.
00:21:57.000 And by the way, there's nothing new in Chicago.
00:21:59.000 The new mayor is going to do exactly what the old mayor did.
00:22:02.000 There is no way for it to improve.
00:22:03.000 That's the theme of today, by the way.
00:22:06.000 What does the left Do when left completely unfettered, not within the systems of checks and balances.
00:22:12.000 We see it with Detroit.
00:22:13.000 We see it with Chicago.
00:22:14.000 Yeah, I was in Chicago actually, um, gosh, going to a Notre Dame game in October and we were at a light in 15, 20, 30 motorcycles.
00:22:22.000 Should have run the light.
00:22:23.000 No, no, no, no.
00:22:24.000 Here's the thing.
00:22:24.000 It turns green for us.
00:22:25.000 They come through doing wheelies and everything else.
00:22:27.000 Not one single person honked.
00:22:29.000 Not one person tried to pull out.
00:22:31.000 Like there was this degree of like, if I do something here that's wrong, there's no one here to protect me.
00:22:36.000 No, of course not.
00:22:38.000 And if you protect yourself, you'll be the criminal.
00:22:39.000 On like Michigan Avenue, like up by the lake, like it wasn't like some small hole of Chicago.
00:22:44.000 Well, this is why.
00:22:44.000 How do you get that many people to do that out there?
00:22:46.000 They're not concerned about the cameras, they're running toward them.
00:22:48.000 They're saying, hey, did you get my close-up?
00:22:50.000 They are doing this in plain sight.
00:22:53.000 There's a boldness that comes with that as a result of policy.
00:22:56.000 This is just 10 days after the soft-on-crime new mayor-elect Brandon Johnson was announced as mayor, soon to be mayor.
00:23:05.000 Here's what he said.
00:23:06.000 He said, it is unacceptable and has no place in our city.
00:23:09.000 Good.
00:23:09.000 End statement.
00:23:11.000 However, it is not constructive to demonize youth who have otherwise been starved of opportunities in their own communities.
00:23:21.000 No, no, no.
00:23:22.000 They just burned down their own communities.
00:23:25.000 They have plenty of opportunity to run around and riot and loot.
00:23:28.000 I just saw it.
00:23:29.000 It is not productive, constructive to demonize youth.
00:23:35.000 I disagree.
00:23:36.000 I think it's incredibly constructive to demonize youth.
00:23:41.000 I think it's incredibly constructive to punish youth, to discipline youth.
00:23:45.000 Especially when I think it might even be constructive to try them as adults.
00:23:49.000 I don't know.
00:23:49.000 Is that just me?
00:23:50.000 Comment below.
00:23:51.000 Like if you agree, if you're there on YouTube, or hit the rumble button.
00:23:54.000 Remember when I was a kid, I used to discipline me there, Pops Crotter?
00:23:57.000 From time to time.
00:23:58.000 The wooden spoon used to make me pick it.
00:23:59.000 If I picked the small one, you got a bigger one anyway, which almost seemed like it wasn't really a fair decision.
00:24:04.000 I wonder why the Democrats have starved them of opportunities.
00:24:07.000 Yes.
00:24:08.000 Good point.
00:24:08.000 I don't know, what policies could they possibly have in place?
00:24:11.000 By the way, I just want to know, would it be okay to go to the store owner whose store was looted and just say, well, hey, these are just kids, guys.
00:24:16.000 I'm sorry, they didn't have opportunities in their community.
00:24:18.000 Yeah.
00:24:19.000 Is that going to heal that situation?
00:24:20.000 It's not constructive.
00:24:21.000 I don't know if anybody was hit by the gunfire, but maybe the person that was shot, can you ask them that as well?
00:24:25.000 What they mean is it's not constructive to demonize.
00:24:27.000 Well, first off, so what they're saying, it's not constructive for you to say bad things.
00:24:31.000 I think it would be constructive for you to protect your house and home and your business.
00:24:34.000 By that I mean use of force.
00:24:35.000 Just to be clear, I'm not advocating going out and committing violence again, but I certainly think that you're entitled to use force to defend yourself.
00:24:42.000 Most states recognize that, and that includes violence.
00:24:44.000 Yeah, people are burning down your store, but they don't even want you to say bad words.
00:24:48.000 So what it's about, this is all about, this is the theme here that has been going on for the last several, you've heard me say it, it's about turning law-abiding citizens into criminals and criminals into voters.
00:24:58.000 Can you imagine anyone, left or right, in the 60s or 70s seeing that saying,
00:25:04.000 well, you know what, really though, it's not constructive to demonize them.
00:25:06.000 Even back then they had to feign people in the Democrat Party, like, well, they shouldn't riot.
00:25:10.000 Who are they blaming? That's what I want to know.
00:25:13.000 Well, take a wild guess.
00:25:15.000 Who are they blaming?
00:25:16.000 They've had control of these cities without opposition for generations.
00:25:19.000 Well, I think they're blaming...
00:25:20.000 They want to buy the votes for the people that have been starving them of opportunities in their communities.
00:25:25.000 Well, the mayor-elect blames the police, as seen by the fact that he was a major proponent of defunding the police, of defund the police, quote, prior to his election.
00:25:34.000 The President of the United States, the former President of the United States, I'm sorry, President Barack Obama, took it one step further as well, and basically said that the effort of the defund police movement lost an audience because of of that um that slogan i guess is what he's calling it which which i don't look at it as a slogan it's actually it's an actual real political goal
00:26:03.000 He backtracked and said, no, no, I didn't mean defund the police.
00:26:05.000 Yeah, but what about when you said it's not a slogan, you actually think it's a political goal, meaning defund the police?
00:26:09.000 He said, stop that.
00:26:10.000 It's not constructive to demonize me.
00:26:13.000 That was last week, sir.
00:26:15.000 But that's in my past.
00:26:16.000 Yeah, that's in my past.
00:26:19.000 Well don't worry, it's Mayor Ain't Nothin' Gonna Change!
00:26:21.000 Ain't nothin' gonna change!
00:26:22.000 We'll compare his policies in real life.
00:26:24.000 And by the way, in other news for the city, Walmart permanently closed four Chicago stores on Sunday, saying that the stores have lost tens of millions of dollars because you can only have grape drink on a five-finger discount for so long.
00:26:37.000 I'm sorry.
00:26:38.000 Admonish me.
00:26:39.000 Yes, it's purple drink.
00:26:40.000 It's purple drink.
00:26:42.000 Admonish.
00:26:44.000 It's purple drink for all you Kangs. 1.00
00:26:47.000 Sugar, water, purple.
00:26:49.000 Remember that.
00:26:50.000 And don't forget, this is Ronnie mostly while talking about this, so the same thing applies here.
00:26:54.000 Yes, who do they blame?
00:26:55.000 They blame the cops.
00:26:56.000 Who do they blame?
00:26:57.000 They blame Walmart.
00:26:58.000 Here's Ronnie Mosley.
00:27:01.000 He's, I guess, from the 21st Ward.
00:27:04.000 Ronnie Mosley, Alderman-Elect from the 21st Ward. 0.97
00:27:06.000 Of course, I was not familiar with him before he said this dumbassery.
00:27:10.000 He blamed Walmart for the closures. 0.94
00:27:14.000 It is all the corporate citizens that come into our community and ravage our community.
00:27:19.000 Okay, common.
00:27:20.000 And Walmart, you should be absolutely ashamed of yourselves.
00:27:24.000 You are the reason that our communities lack the investment that they have.
00:27:31.000 Did you hear that lady? 0.98
00:27:33.000 Stand before God, or ashamed before God.
00:27:36.000 I'm like, okay.
00:27:37.000 Walmart should be ashamed before God?
00:27:39.000 Really?
00:27:41.000 You want to take it up with the Walton family?
00:27:43.000 I just watched World War Z of criminals in the middle of your city. 0.85
00:27:47.000 You mean everything isn't free in Walmart?
00:27:49.000 It was The Walking Dreads!
00:27:54.000 They should not lock up the socks at Walmart!
00:27:56.000 They should not lock up the hair color!
00:27:59.000 They should not lock up the shampoo at Walmart! 0.71
00:28:02.000 Where are we gonna get a razor butt lotion? 0.99
00:28:05.000 What?
00:28:08.000 So here's the question.
00:28:10.000 How did Chicago get here?
00:28:11.000 They think they want, and you can comment below, spoiler alert, they want you to blame the police.
00:28:16.000 They want you to blame Republicans.
00:28:17.000 They want you to blame, also remember when they blamed guns coming in from Indiana?
00:28:21.000 Hey, hey, wouldn't Indiana Well, instead of Gary, have the problem that Chicago does.
00:28:28.000 It's like, all the guns are coming in from Indiana ruining our state!
00:28:33.000 Have you looked at their state? 1.00
00:28:34.000 Shut up! 1.00
00:28:35.000 There's barely a city near you in Indiana. 1.00
00:28:38.000 South Bend is the first real place you get to.
00:28:41.000 It's all about abdicating personal responsibility and anyone who's fooled by this shell game 1.00
00:28:45.000 at this point, I'm sorry guys, you really are morons. 1.00
00:28:48.000 If you're in Chicago and you think you can blame this on the police, you think you can 1.00
00:28:52.000 blame this on Donald Trump, I think you're probably past hope.
00:28:56.000 So let's recap the Chicago policies.
00:28:58.000 In 2020, the Cook County DA, Kim Fox, dropped charges on 29 people.
00:29:02.000 9.9% of felonies.
00:29:04.000 Wow!
00:29:04.000 That was compared to the previous DA of 19%, which by the way is still pretty damn high.
00:29:09.000 That's very high.
00:29:10.000 2022, Illinois became the first state to eliminate cash bail.
00:29:13.000 K, 2022, foot pursuit was not allowed for anything besides violent felonies.
00:29:19.000 And arrests in Chicago are at historic lows, which by the way, is a really hard metric because you can't really take into account how many people would have been arrested who weren't being arrested.
00:29:28.000 I don't know if they had counted those videos that we just showed you and said, yep, that should have been arrest, arrest, arrest, arrest, arrest.
00:29:34.000 So 2005, arrest rate was 31%.
00:29:35.000 2021, arrest rate 12.3%.
00:29:40.000 And the homicide rate is the highest that it's been in over 20 years in Chicago.
00:29:46.000 Those are great policies.
00:29:47.000 And the policies from this new mayor are the exact same.
00:29:49.000 What is it?
00:29:49.000 It's defund the police.
00:29:50.000 And now he says, well, not really defund the police, restructure police.
00:29:53.000 It's blame corporations.
00:29:55.000 It's more gun control, right? 0.52
00:29:56.000 He wants red flag laws. 0.95
00:29:58.000 The funny thing is, when you look at the policy of this new mayor, he says, I'm going to change a city.
00:30:02.000 Change what?
00:30:03.000 It's the same thing as the previous mayor.
00:30:05.000 Ain't nothing going to crime! 1.00
00:30:06.000 You can keep that shit! 1.00
00:30:08.000 Vote for me! 1.00
00:30:09.000 The only difference is... WALMART! 1.00
00:30:11.000 Go, motherfucker! 1.00
00:30:13.000 Vote for me! 1.00
00:30:14.000 People are like, ah, he's talking my language.
00:30:15.000 You want jobs at Wal-Mart?
00:30:17.000 No.
00:30:18.000 Not on my watch.
00:30:18.000 And haven't they just matched Detroit, where 80% of all murders go unsolved?
00:30:23.000 I don't know if it's 80%.
00:30:24.000 I know it's very high.
00:30:25.000 And again, that's a hard metric because they just say, uh, is this an unsolved murder?
00:30:28.000 They go, I don't know.
00:30:29.000 Let's just not file that one.
00:30:30.000 Okay.
00:30:32.000 We'll leave it.
00:30:33.000 What's the point of all these awards?
00:30:35.000 Homeless guy. 0.93
00:30:36.000 Screw it. 0.52
00:30:37.000 That's the evidence from the murder case.
00:30:39.000 What is it?
00:30:39.000 What is this?
00:30:39.000 Like when he looks back on the past, he's like, at least I'm not a lesbian.
00:30:43.000 Is that it?
00:30:45.000 Mayor Lightfoot was like, okay, you guys are the same otherwise.
00:30:49.000 Vote for me because I don't look like a catfish.
00:30:53.000 Everything else is the same.
00:30:54.000 No catfish eyes.
00:30:55.000 No more Beetlejuice.
00:30:57.000 Then they told him, like, you won. 0.99
00:31:00.000 He's like, you bullshitting. 0.99
00:31:01.000 My portfolio don't grow! 1.00
00:31:05.000 It is a crap hole, Chicago. 0.99
00:31:07.000 It used to be a cool city. 1.00
00:31:08.000 It's not.
00:31:09.000 It's not even safe right now in tourist spots.
00:31:11.000 Used to be Ferris Bueller's Day Off.
00:31:13.000 That was Chicago.
00:31:14.000 Wonderful place you can go hang out.
00:31:15.000 Now you don't.
00:31:16.000 Trust me.
00:31:16.000 And about to be passed by Dallas as the third largest city in the country.
00:31:22.000 Dropping like a stone, Dallas is growing like crazy.
00:31:25.000 You know who needs to drop a stone?
00:31:27.000 Is that Sam Smith.
00:31:29.000 How much is a stone? 1.00
00:31:30.000 It's a stupid measurement system. 0.99
00:31:31.000 I'd be like, okay, I weigh about 225, so that's like a hundred something kilograms. 1.00
00:31:37.000 And then people are like, it's 2.7 stones.
00:31:40.000 It doesn't sound very good.
00:31:41.000 Someone lost weight.
00:31:41.000 It's like, oh my gosh, look, you're withering away.
00:31:43.000 Yeah.
00:31:43.000 How much did you lose?
00:31:44.000 I lost 0.01 stone.
00:31:46.000 A stone is 14 pounds.
00:31:48.000 Oh, it'd be a lot more.
00:31:49.000 I was off.
00:31:49.000 Yeah.
00:31:50.000 Way off.
00:31:50.000 I don't know.
00:31:51.000 I don't believe it.
00:31:52.000 Okay.
00:31:54.000 Smash the rubber button if you're watching.
00:31:55.000 That was pretty fast, though, by the way.
00:31:57.000 That was pretty fast.
00:31:58.000 Good for you.
00:31:58.000 Good for you.
00:31:59.000 14 pounds.
00:31:59.000 Who picked that measurement?
00:32:00.000 I don't know.
00:32:01.000 It really doesn't matter.
00:32:02.000 It's an increment.
00:32:03.000 Who cares?
00:32:03.000 Well, it's hard to measure.
00:32:05.000 I don't want to be rounding decimals for weight.
00:32:11.000 We're more offended by that than Chicago.
00:32:12.000 I just round my height down.
00:32:13.000 I'm like six foot two and three quarters.
00:32:15.000 I just say six two instead of six because I don't want someone to like put me up on the measuring stick like, oh you say you're six three?
00:32:20.000 So I just say six two.
00:32:20.000 Fine.
00:32:21.000 What if it was stone?
00:32:22.000 I know stone is weight.
00:32:22.000 The point is, SNL is a propaganda wing.
00:32:27.000 So this brings us to C in Chicago, if the left has their way unfettered, C Detroit, C San Francisco, and I want to use SNL here as a jumping off point because it really has become, this is propaganda by the way, and this is why comedy is largely dying on the networks, and that'll bring us to Washington, what's happening with the trans bill, which is, I don't want to say trans bill, what's happening with the child abduction bill, let's call it that, child abduction bill, the bill to abduct your children from you if you don't put them on puberty blockers or give them a sex change.
00:32:54.000 Let's start- I apologize, my voice is gross. 0.97
00:32:56.000 Does it make me sound somewhat sexy though?
00:32:59.000 No.
00:33:00.000 No.
00:33:01.000 Not to any of us.
00:33:02.000 I don't have that much on me.
00:33:03.000 Get that red tie.
00:33:04.000 I'm not a fan of the red tie.
00:34:01.000 Which works if you're making fun of it.
00:34:04.000 That's something to celebrate.
00:34:06.000 Look at the big bruise.
00:34:08.000 Well, as you know, I've been wanting to come to Update and talk about trans people, but I have for a much longer time than that wanted to fly down from the ceiling.
00:34:16.000 We wanted you to identify as Owen Hart.
00:34:18.000 Owen Hart.
00:34:19.000 Expectations.
00:34:20.000 Owen Hart.
00:34:32.000 so so
01:15:05.000 That's what is most concerning.
01:15:07.000 It's not, what do they do when there are checks and balances?
01:15:10.000 What do they do when those don't exist?
01:15:11.000 So guess who the checks and balances are?
01:15:14.000 It's you.
01:15:15.000 We're going to continue this conversation as well as Hipster or Hobo.
01:15:17.000 By the way, this is the last month.
01:15:19.000 You can hear my voice.
01:15:20.000 It's like the last week.

01:15:53.000 As long as we can pick whichever bathroom we dump. 0.96
