00:01:33.000 I I

00:02:03.000 It's aggressive it's an angry ship today's theme is you have been lied to

00:02:10.000 Now, I know they say don't attribute to malice or can be chalked up to ignorance.

00:02:15.000 Bring up the rundown.

00:02:16.000 Okay, you've been lied to.

00:02:17.000 No, that's not the rundown.

00:02:18.000 That's the black guy in CNN.

00:02:18.000 There you go.

00:02:21.000 No, we'll go through the jury process, what's taking place with President Donald Trump.

00:02:28.000 You can take a guess where that one's headed.

00:02:30.000 NPR.

00:02:31.000 People are talking about this.

00:02:32.000 We had a segment ready yesterday.

00:02:33.000 I was kind of surprised to see a lot of people, even on the right, but people who have defined themselves as classical liberals, saying NPR, they've really gone off the rails.

00:02:42.000 Boy, have they changed.

00:02:44.000 No, they have not.

00:02:45.000 You have been lied to.

00:02:46.000 NPR has always effectively been a wing of propaganda for the government.

00:02:53.000 And I'm going to bring you those receipts.

00:02:54.000 I've always known it.

00:02:55.000 I come from Canada.

00:02:56.000 That's where I was raised, where we had the CBC, Canadian Broadcasting.

00:02:59.000 You don't have to go to Venezuela to know how state media functions.

00:03:03.000 And of course, that's what NPR and PBS here in the United States do themselves.

00:03:08.000 Let me ask you this.

00:03:09.000 Let me, before anything else, why oh why?

00:03:12.000 And I understand it, corporate media problem, especially now in the age of algorithms, clickbait.

00:03:15.000 I get it, not lost on me.

00:03:17.000 You always serve a master.

00:03:18.000 But why would you assume that someone who is beholden, who requires big government to

00:03:23.000 function could ever be objective?

00:03:27.000 It's just that now, and thank God for this, you have the ability to see it!

00:03:32.000 It's not new, it's just maybe worse, and you can see it.

00:03:36.000 So, let's dispel this narrative that, oh man, the Democrat Party left me.

00:03:41.000 Nope!

00:03:42.000 Nope!

00:03:42.000 You just weren't aware.

00:03:43.000 Oh, NPR, they used to be objective.

00:03:46.000 Nope!

00:03:47.000 Not true.

00:03:48.000 Our justice system in this country.

00:03:49.000 Nope!

00:03:50.000 Nope!

00:03:50.000 Not true.

00:03:52.000 You've been lied to for a very, very long time.

00:03:53.000 That's the theme today.

00:03:54.000 So, I might get a little bit upset, but it's going to be a lot of fun, too.

00:03:57.000 If at some point today, if you're still watching on YouTube, don't know why, and you see this, Head on over to Rumble.

00:04:05.000 It's a live show, weekdays, 10 a.m.

00:04:06.000 Eastern.

00:04:06.000 You know, back in the day, remember when you had TV Guide?

00:04:08.000 Al Roker was usually on the cover?

00:04:11.000 Just set the time so you don't have to worry about some artificial brain on TikTok putting us next to breasts.

00:04:18.000 All right.

00:04:19.000 Captain Morgan was here yesterday, and then he left promptly.

00:04:22.000 I can't blame him.

00:04:23.000 So back in his spot, who's been very helpful when you see him, when you hear him.

00:04:28.000 You mostly thank him for his service.

00:04:30.000 Yes, you do.

00:04:31.000 Yes, you do.

00:04:32.000 Don't be modest.

00:04:34.000 You can watch his comedy special, American, on Mug Club.

00:04:36.000 The first Mug Club comedy special, more to come.

00:04:39.000 jfirestein.com for his dates.

00:04:40.000 Josh, how are you, sir?

00:04:41.000 I'm good.

00:04:42.000 I'm good.

00:04:43.000 I'm glad to be back in Gerald's chair.

00:04:45.000 Hopefully, it's a permanent spot.

00:04:47.000 Oh, I didn't realize Gerald C. is there, too.

00:04:49.000 You're a duo.

00:04:50.000 It's like a TLC show.

00:04:53.000 Yeah.

00:04:54.000 And in third chair, this is always fun.

00:04:56.000 In third chair, it's always a fun sounding board.

00:04:59.000 He made one thrust and I appeared.

00:05:00.000 He is... Give me some credit.

00:05:04.000 Okay.

00:05:07.000 They call him Three and a Half Minute Pops.

00:05:09.000 Pops Crowder, how are you?

00:05:11.000 Fantastic.

00:05:12.000 I don't recognize that guy over there in Gerald's chair, though.

00:05:14.000 He's bearded one day, then not.

00:05:16.000 Then a Hitler stache, then not.

00:05:18.000 No, there's... People don't know.

00:05:21.000 Well, he tends to wear one in his private time.

00:05:26.000 I tend to do a little cosplay.

00:05:28.000 He has the biggest balls on the planet.

00:05:31.000 Hitler did have a set.

00:05:32.000 I mean, he used them for evil, don't get me wrong.

00:05:35.000 Hitler's bad, just to be clear.

00:05:36.000 I just want to make it very, very clear.

00:05:38.000 Hitler, absolutely terrible.

00:05:40.000 Yeah.

00:05:41.000 I know, you know, we take Fridays off, you've heard, but yes, there might be something with Firestein Hitler coming down the pipe.

00:05:47.000 There might be.

00:05:47.000 I'd be wearing something different, not this brass pro shop that I I don't know how to fish, but I got a nice shirt.

00:05:57.000 Do you go shopping with a gaggle of lesbians?

00:05:59.000 No, just a couple.

00:06:01.000 Yeah, I imagine they, well, they shop at Orvis, I believe.

00:06:03.000 Right, Pops Crowder?

00:06:04.000 I wore an Orvis shirt forever, and he wouldn't let me hear the end of it.

00:06:07.000 Yeah, I don't know why.

00:06:08.000 I don't know what that is.

00:06:09.000 It's a place.

00:06:10.000 Drove a Subaru, too, but what?

00:06:11.000 Yeah, yeah, he did.

00:06:13.000 He didn't drive a Subaru, but I did mistake him for a lesbian.

00:06:16.000 Okay, let's go to Canada.

00:06:18.000 Speaking of lesbians, you know about the Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau.

00:06:22.000 Now, this is very sad.

00:06:23.000 I'm letting you know this woman is dying.

00:06:26.000 This is an old lady in Canada who's dying.

00:06:29.000 But talk about sticking the landing with her last words.

00:06:34.000 Here's a clip of Grandma in Canada making sure that she's heard.

00:06:38.000 Well, folks, the doctors told me that I'm on my way out.

00:06:47.000 Meaning I'm dying.

00:06:50.000 And you know what?

00:06:51.000 I'm so damn happy that I'll finally get Justin Trudeau out of my life.

00:06:59.000 Perfect.

00:07:00.000 She's a pump!

00:07:03.000 We actually have live audio feed of her reaching St.

00:07:06.000 St. Peter's Gates.

00:07:07.000 It's okay, you're still learning the ropes, Billy.

00:07:14.000 It was a solo arrival.

00:07:17.000 It was summer.

00:07:21.000 The bit was they were happy to have her.

00:07:25.000 We know that by the confetti.

00:07:27.000 But the confetti just feels so lonely.

00:07:31.000 St.

00:07:31.000 Peter's Trumpet was a little out of order.

00:07:33.000 Do you need a minute?

00:07:36.000 No, I'm good.

00:07:38.000 I thought for a minute there she was going to be praising Trudeau for the euthanasia program.

00:07:41.000 No, no, that's why she flipped him the bird by living.

00:07:44.000 Yeah.

00:07:44.000 You know, by choosing to die naturally.

00:07:46.000 Hey, isn't that a crazy thought in 2024?

00:07:49.000 I'm about to go out.

00:07:50.000 Yes.

00:07:50.000 Meaning I'm dying, eh?

00:07:51.000 I'm about to go out.

00:07:51.000 Yeah.

00:07:56.000 Well, you know what, good for her.

00:07:58.000 And hey, you know what, Paul Lievre, I think it's probably time for you to maybe make a visit here to the show.

00:08:03.000 I know that we've sort of run in the same circles, communicated a bit, but it looks like Canada's going to have a tectonic shift with their politics.

00:08:10.000 And that'll tie into what we're doing with NPR here a little bit later, because they do have entirely publicly funded broadcasting.

00:08:18.000 Which means they have no objective news.

00:08:19.000 Let's go to President Trump's, the jury selection going on right now.

00:08:23.000 This is day three, okay?

00:08:25.000 And one juror, I guess, has just been, you saw us, I believe it was yesterday, or was it two days ago, where we found the actress, Josh?

00:08:33.000 Yeah, two days ago, the bathroom troll lady.

00:08:35.000 Bathroom troll lady, which we have set up for Bad Movie Lines, where she said, I just can't do the nine to five.

00:08:40.000 Yeah, I wouldn't be able to do the jury 9-5 because I'm unemployed.

00:08:44.000 I can't do those hours.

00:08:45.000 That's why I have my dad fund my apartment.

00:08:47.000 Yes, exactly.

00:08:49.000 So, we're dealing with Manhattan, right?

00:08:51.000 But one juror, I guess, has actually just been removed, which seems like, hey, they must have been really bad.

00:08:57.000 We've just learned that the judge has dismissed one of the seven jurors seated on Tuesday after she expressed concerns about her ability to be fair and impartial.

00:09:08.000 That means six more jurors and six alternates must now be chosen.

00:09:18.000 I love how they say that as though it's like a surprise.

00:09:20.000 I don't think they're going to find 12 jurors that are actually objective.

00:09:28.000 Well let's give you this, this is one of those 10 million people, you can't find 12.

00:09:31.000 Jury of your peers.

00:09:33.000 I don't see how anybody can not have an opinion on Donald Trump.

00:09:36.000 The problem is the peers in New York City Suck.

00:09:40.000 Yeah.

00:09:41.000 That's a problem.

00:09:41.000 What do you do when your peers are assholes?

00:09:45.000 It's a good place to have that trial.

00:09:46.000 Yes.

00:09:47.000 I don't think that's where it all went down, the supposed charges.

00:09:50.000 No.

00:09:50.000 Well, here we have, let me go through some of these jurors for you.

00:09:52.000 And you tell me if these people seem like they can be unbiased.

00:09:54.000 And I've always tried to be very straightforward with you.

00:09:56.000 Everyone is biased.

00:09:56.000 I am biased.

00:09:57.000 I think that you're lying to yourself if you say that you cannot be unbiased.

00:10:00.000 So, juror number two.

00:10:01.000 Okay, this person gets their news from the New York Times, CNN, Google, and Facebook.

00:10:07.000 Let's look at juror six.

00:10:08.000 Lives in Chelsea.

00:10:09.000 Works were not confirmed, but it seems to work for Disney.

00:10:12.000 Gets their news from New York Times and TikTok.

00:10:15.000 My god.

00:10:16.000 It's possible she may have been the one who was just dismissed.

00:10:18.000 Now let's also look at the voting demographic in Manhattan.

00:10:21.000 You're talking about over 80%.

00:10:23.000 Over 80% when you're looking at Manhattan.

00:10:27.000 What is this?

00:10:28.000 That's showing New York, Rochester.

00:10:29.000 That's showing the whole state.

00:10:30.000 But Manhattan was 86% for Biden.

00:10:33.000 That's a lot of nuts!

00:10:33.000 Jeez.

00:10:34.000 86% for Biden.

00:10:38.000 And someone who gets their news from TikTok and the New York Times.

00:10:41.000 And here's the thing, it's a great trick that the left pulls, kind of like making you think that NPR was objective.

00:10:45.000 They'll say, what's the problem with this?

00:10:46.000 What, they get their news from the New York Times?

00:10:47.000 Do you have a problem with the New York Times?

00:10:48.000 Yes.

00:10:49.000 Mm-hmm.

00:10:50.000 Yes, I do.

00:10:52.000 If someone actually has a subscription to them, unironically, that is a problem.

00:10:55.000 You think someone who's getting their news from the New York Times, from TikTok, someone who may work for Disney, where by the way, it is part of the hiring protocol to ensure that they do not share the values of middle America?

00:11:05.000 Yes.

00:11:06.000 Yes, I do.

00:11:07.000 I do think it's disqualifying.

00:11:08.000 One juror, actually, on their Twitter, they found a video of the person, the juror was recording a video of a celebration in the Upper West Side of the 2020 election when Donald Trump lost.

00:11:19.000 And they showed it to the judge, and the judge said, what am I looking at?

00:11:22.000 How is this relevant?

00:11:24.000 Take a guess!

00:11:25.000 Take a guess!

00:11:28.000 These are the lies that we have to deal with.

00:11:30.000 We all have to act like, oh yeah, no, they can be objective.

00:11:32.000 Really?

00:11:32.000 You're getting your news from TikTok, the New York Times?

00:11:35.000 You live in Chelsea?

00:11:36.000 You're uploading a video.

00:11:37.000 You went through the process.

00:11:39.000 You took the time to record people celebrating the supposed defeat of Donald Trump.

00:11:45.000 Tweeted out, I believe the text included was, this is just such a New York moment and this person is going to be objective.

00:11:51.000 This person would have no vested interest in ensuring that Donald Trump can't run for office, would be ineligible for office.

00:11:58.000 How do we know that that's the goal?

00:11:59.000 Because those same people you just saw on MSNBC and the entire lineup at CNN have said that's the goal.

00:12:06.000 It'd love to be a part of it.

00:12:08.000 If I can help convict this guy and affect the election, that'd be awesome.

00:12:11.000 I could celebrate once more.

00:12:13.000 Right.

00:12:13.000 Yeah.

00:12:14.000 So you guys, let me comment below.

00:12:15.000 Well, there shouldn't be a trial, but if you have to pick these jurors, wouldn't you just go by demographic?

00:12:20.000 Male, Upper East Side, kind of hedge your bets.

00:12:23.000 Not that you're going to get somebody who's like-minded, but at least less If you want it to be fair.

00:12:30.000 Yeah, if you want it to be fair.

00:12:31.000 The best one I see actually is juror number four is originally from Puerto Rico, has lived in the Lower East

00:12:35.000 Side for the last 40 years, has actually a family, kids, I believe works in IT.

00:12:40.000 That's someone who I would look and say, okay, this person could be a wild card.

00:12:43.000 This person could be somebody who, a Hispanic man.

00:12:47.000 They tend to favor Trump, as we see through the demographics lately.

00:12:51.000 Has a family.

00:12:52.000 That's getting as conservative as you might find, really, in New York City.

00:12:56.000 No IMDB profile?

00:12:57.000 No IMDB profile.

00:12:59.000 No bathroom trolls.

00:13:01.000 Hasn't taken part in any mumblecore.

00:13:02.000 Yes!

00:13:04.000 Let's go on to something else, too.

00:13:06.000 This is kind of a cultural shift.

00:13:07.000 You know Caitlin Clark in the WNBA?

00:13:09.000 Did you get a good crack there, Josh?

00:13:11.000 Yeah, did you hear it?

00:13:12.000 Oh, yeah.

00:13:12.000 I didn't hear it, no.

00:13:13.000 Did you hear Mike?

00:13:14.000 Yeah, I was starting to distract you.

00:13:14.000 He just cracked his neck.

00:13:17.000 I don't think... No, I thought... I just had a little crick.

00:13:19.000 I got jealous.

00:13:20.000 I wanted to do it, but I couldn't, so I wanted to cut to you, but I was still on camera, so that I could do it.

00:13:20.000 Oh.

00:13:25.000 Did Gerald C. help you?

00:13:25.000 Go to Josh.

00:13:27.000 Hey, one of these days, I'll crack my ears on air.

00:13:27.000 Oh, that was a good one!

00:13:29.000 Really?

00:13:30.000 I can crack, I can pull my ear and crack it.

00:13:31.000 Let's do it later on Chat Thursday.

00:13:32.000 Yeah, we'll do it later.

00:13:33.000 We're gonna get cauliflower.

00:13:34.000 Mug Club, we're looking at you!

00:13:37.000 It's kind of gross.

00:13:39.000 This is what you subscribe for.

00:13:40.000 So yesterday there was an exchange here with Caitlin Clark.

00:13:45.000 You know, basketball player, very good.

00:13:47.000 Best collegiate player, I think, arguably ever.

00:13:50.000 White.

00:13:51.000 White girl.

00:13:52.000 So.

00:13:53.000 Yeah, I know.

00:13:53.000 Wait a minute.

00:13:54.000 And look, okay, before, let me just, I will acknowledge my bias here.

00:13:58.000 I'm going to acknowledge Pops Crowder's bias, okay?

00:13:58.000 You know what?

00:14:01.000 This is one of those where you're like, eh, is there a little bit of racism?

00:14:04.000 Because my dad walks into the room, he goes, have you seen this Katelyn Clark?

00:14:08.000 I go, what?

00:14:09.000 And he goes, she's playing at Iowa and she's just cleaning up.

00:14:12.000 She's the best, she's the best girl basket, college basketball player of all time.

00:14:15.000 I'm like, Dad, I'm guessing she's white.

00:14:19.000 Well, you did say that.

00:14:20.000 Yes, I did.

00:14:21.000 Otherwise, why would you be following women's basketball?

00:14:27.000 It's the story behind it.

00:14:29.000 I was around during the Larry Bird era where if Larry were a black player he'd just be another average guy.

00:14:34.000 Here we have it now.

00:14:35.000 Best female basketball player ever.

00:14:37.000 Yeah.

00:14:37.000 It's not open to opinion.

00:14:39.000 She'd beat Pistol Pete Maravich if you guys are... The record, yeah.

00:14:42.000 The record.

00:14:43.000 In a one-on-one he would smoke her.

00:14:44.000 Of course, but I mean in terms of points.

00:14:46.000 If he was playing against women too.

00:14:47.000 And so she's getting all the racial slinging and you know.

00:14:53.000 Luka Doncic here in Dallas, same thing.

00:14:56.000 Best guy in the league, and it all comes down to race all the time.

00:14:58.000 That's where we are.

00:15:00.000 It's very unfortunate, but it's a big story.

00:15:01.000 I understand.

00:15:02.000 It's a reaction because people say, oh, they really do use identity politics even in sports.

00:15:06.000 We talk about, hey, how about affirmative action in the NBA?

00:15:08.000 It's kind of something that's done as a joke, but the truth is you do see people get a little bit territorial with that sometimes, some of the commentators out there.

00:15:15.000 Not everyone, of course.

00:15:16.000 There are people who say the best player is the best player.

00:15:18.000 But I think that's also why it's been a lightning rod.

00:15:20.000 You can comment below.

00:15:21.000 Let us let us know what you think about Caitlin Clark If you do think that's a good frustrated

00:15:25.000 I think they get frustrated because they're like oh now you want to watch because of because of the white girl

00:15:30.000 Okay, yeah, really coming from I don't agree with it, but you know

00:15:33.000 But you know what?

00:15:35.000 I mean, it's the same thing, you know, when there's a... I'm sure it would happen if there's a black guy, like, in swimming.

00:15:40.000 It'd be like, did you guys hear about Jamal Phelps?

00:15:40.000 Oh, for sure.

00:15:43.000 The guy... He's black?

00:15:46.000 Six gold medals, no weed.

00:15:48.000 He has wings like an albatross.

00:15:48.000 My God!

00:15:51.000 Nearly drowned.

00:15:54.000 He's never wet.

00:15:57.000 There's been this clip going around that some people, and I saw this from Barstool Sports, saying was sexist.

00:16:06.000 An interaction with a reporter and Caitlin Clarke.

00:16:08.000 So right here we've gone to another form of identity politics.

00:16:11.000 Some are even calling for this guy to be fired.

00:16:13.000 It brings us to a new segment, Is This Sexist?

00:16:16.000 What's wrong with being sexy?

00:16:21.000 Sexist!

00:16:22.000 Alright.

00:16:24.000 This is the first installment.

00:16:26.000 It just happens all the time.

00:16:29.000 There are going to be more.

00:16:30.000 Because we always, we sit back here and we're going like, why is this, is this sexist?

00:16:34.000 Is this a blind spot?

00:16:35.000 I just, I don't see it as sexist.

00:16:38.000 Even, again, we poll the women in the office and they're like, no, no, absolutely not.

00:16:42.000 Maybe the, well, Josh has some opinions here and I think they're, you know, I think they're valid.

00:16:46.000 I think there are multiple ways to look at this.

00:16:49.000 I don't think sexism is one of the legitimate ways.

00:16:52.000 So, this is a reporter, Greg Doyle, I guess from the Indy Star, and he was asking Caitlin Clark a question at, I guess, her first major press conference.

00:17:02.000 Hi, Caitlin.

00:17:05.000 Greg Doyle, Indy Star.

00:17:07.000 Real quick, let me do this.

00:17:10.000 You like that?

00:17:12.000 I like that you're here.

00:17:13.000 I like that you're here.

00:17:15.000 I do that at my family after every game, so.

00:17:17.000 Okay, well let's start doing it to me and we'll get along just fine.

00:17:21.000 So, question is... And for those of you on audio, get your minds out of the gutter.

00:17:26.000 He was doing this.

00:17:27.000 The Bieber heart.

00:17:28.000 He was saying this.

00:17:29.000 He'd do this.

00:17:30.000 Yeah, I do that with my family.

00:17:32.000 We'll be just fine.

00:17:34.000 I was surprised at the outrage.

00:17:36.000 Dave Portnoy tweeted out, Caitlyn Clark's Indiana Fever career begins with Greg Doyle being a sexiest, he wrote, pervert.

00:17:43.000 I assume sexist, but I don't want to put correct words in his mouth.

00:17:47.000 Introductory press conference.

00:17:49.000 Indy Star Sports, do something about this.

00:17:53.000 Is this sexist?

00:17:55.000 What do you guys think?

00:17:58.000 Was it flirtatious?

00:18:00.000 Sure.

00:18:02.000 Do you see that with female reporters and athletes all the time?

00:18:05.000 Yes, more than I can count.

00:18:07.000 I don't know.

00:18:08.000 Is it sexist because she's a woman and she's cute?

00:18:10.000 And he kind of let it be known that he thought she was cute?

00:18:14.000 He was being flattering?

00:18:17.000 I don't get it.

00:18:18.000 Is he seeing her sexist?

00:18:19.000 Would it mean he sees her as less than or treats her differently just because she's a woman?

00:18:23.000 He's treating her the way that female reporters often treat male athletes.

00:18:27.000 Am I missing something?

00:18:29.000 See, I don't think that he was hitting on her.

00:18:31.000 I think he's just an awkward, uncharismatic dude.

00:18:36.000 Yes.

00:18:37.000 And it just came out like a weird guy desperately flirting with an athlete.

00:18:43.000 Yeah, that's it.

00:18:44.000 He just did this.

00:18:46.000 Yeah, if you could do that to me, it would be just fine.

00:18:48.000 He was trying to make a joke in the moment, and he's obviously not a funny man.

00:18:51.000 I mean, he shouldn't have started licking his nipples.

00:18:53.000 That's where it went wrong.

00:18:53.000 That's right.

00:18:54.000 Part of it, but... Yeah, maybe it comes down to charm?

00:18:57.000 I think he wanted part of that $83,500 salary she's pulling.

00:19:03.000 Hey, 72.

00:19:05.000 I saw the numbers.

00:19:07.000 At least it wasn't the Mike Tyson exchange.

00:19:09.000 Yeah, he didn't bite her.

00:19:10.000 I think that this just meant, like, as a fan.

00:19:12.000 He was so glad she was now the franchise.

00:19:18.000 Come on.

00:19:19.000 That's welcoming.

00:19:20.000 I don't want to be disrespectful, but... If he did it to a dude, then we'd be talking about that.

00:19:24.000 Well, we'd make fun of him.

00:19:25.000 I don't see that happening to dudes that often.

00:19:27.000 I watch football and baseball and a little bit of basketball, but you said it happens in fighting sometimes, but those guys are half naked.

00:19:33.000 It happens all the time.

00:19:34.000 At weigh-ins, there's a towel.

00:19:35.000 Yeah, they're almost naked.

00:19:36.000 They're bolts coming out.

00:19:37.000 Have you seen Conor McGregor in shorts?

00:19:39.000 He is showing that off.

00:19:40.000 Yes, he is.

00:19:41.000 He might be a lightweight in the ring, but he's a heavyweight in the bed.

00:19:43.000 I know, I know.

00:19:44.000 Good for him.

00:19:46.000 But other sports, I don't hear that.

00:19:47.000 I don't hear really flirty.

00:19:48.000 In hockey, they had to change the rules to give you an idea because men would give it... I saw Eric Lindros give an interview to a female reporter in the Philadelphia Flyers locker room with his penis out!

00:19:57.000 But where were her hands?

00:19:59.000 On the mic.

00:20:00.000 No, her hands were not... That's the important part of this.

00:20:05.000 That's right.

00:20:06.000 It's not basketball, Dan.

00:20:07.000 Yeah.

00:20:08.000 It just changed the rule, right?

00:20:09.000 The towel rule.

00:20:11.000 You gotta put on a towel.

00:20:12.000 Or they're greys, they call them, which is your undergarments, under your equipment.

00:20:16.000 Now, I will say, that one, you have a point.

00:20:18.000 I'm kind of surprised that that even had to come up.

00:20:20.000 And I'm surprised that anyone was outraged.

00:20:22.000 Like, a bunch of French Canadians, like, how am I gonna do my interview without my p**** out?

00:20:27.000 It's make me feel free.

00:20:29.000 I will say, she looked uncomfortable.

00:20:30.000 I think that's where it comes from, is that she looked uncomfortable, it was awkward, and it seems like it's an inappropriate, awkward moment, and I think he's being blown out of proportion by calling it sexist, I don't think anyone's holding her back from anything, I don't think anyone's sexualizing her, I don't think anybody's objectifying her at all, I think it's just an excited, I think it's a guy who reports, he's a beat reporter for a WNBA team, and he finally has something to be excited about, they have the best player in the league, Yeah, no, I think you're right.

00:21:01.000 I do often go, oh, look, okay, I have a mom, I have a daughter.

00:21:03.000 Hey, I get it when my daughter's older, if a guy, if I were to see a guy and say, oh, yeah, you know this, hey, if you do this with me, we'll be alright.

00:21:11.000 I would go, okay.

00:21:13.000 That's a pretty gentlemanly way, even if he is, for example, trying to be a suitor.

00:21:18.000 Alright, there's nothing inappropriate about that.

00:21:21.000 You know, it's not like, come on over here, Katelyn Clark.

00:21:25.000 Get over here, you basketball bitch.

00:21:29.000 It doesn't sound like that.

00:21:30.000 I don't think he deserves to be fired.

00:21:33.000 It feels like Dave's implying that he should be fired.

00:21:36.000 He said, hey, Indy Star, what are you going to do about this pervert?

00:21:38.000 Like, he should be fired and let go from his job that, I don't know, I mean, covering a WNBA team, I don't know how much that can make you.

00:21:45.000 May seem like a personal vendetta.

00:21:47.000 Maybe he doesn't like this reporter.

00:21:48.000 I don't know.

00:21:49.000 If this is sexist, again, just believe your lying eyes and ears.

00:21:53.000 Here's exactly what happens when the gender roles are reversed.

00:21:56.000 I'm a primetime player.

00:21:57.000 I came through when it counted and got my second TV.

00:21:59.000 I got one for my living room now and one for my bedroom.

00:22:02.000 Do you really need two?

00:22:03.000 I mean, can I have one?

00:22:04.000 Well, you're really good at reading people's minds and anticipating their moves.

00:22:07.000 It probably really helps with women.

00:22:09.000 It does.

00:22:11.000 It does.

00:22:11.000 Fifth double-double in the last six games.

00:22:13.000 Do you feel as good as you look?

00:22:16.000 And not appreciate that you have a better manicurist.

00:22:18.000 Yeah, man, the drip's in.

00:22:19.000 And with all due respect to your significant other, it is hot.

00:22:23.000 Shavkat Rachmanov.

00:22:25.000 That man.

00:22:26.000 He just needs chills.

00:22:28.000 And by the way, before people get out, the point is, none of that should be outrageous.

00:22:33.000 She's being funny.

00:22:34.000 She's being cute, Sanko.

00:22:36.000 She's a great reporter.

00:22:37.000 It's her job.

00:22:38.000 It's fine, okay?

00:22:40.000 Not everything is meant to harm you or cause discomfort.

00:22:43.000 Let me ask you this, and if you want to say it's unprofessional, Sure.

00:22:47.000 You have to apply that across the board, then.

00:22:49.000 It's unprofessional for them to say, you're cute, you look hot, are you feeling as good as you look?

00:22:54.000 Does this work with the women?

00:22:56.000 There can be no flirting.

00:22:56.000 Apply it across the board.

00:22:58.000 There can be no ad-libbing in sports journalism.

00:23:02.000 Or you have to acknowledge that it's not harassment, that it's not assault.

00:23:06.000 And then we have to decide, okay, then how can men make their interests known to women?

00:23:12.000 There are deeper consequences here at play.

00:23:15.000 Let's take a bird's eye view here.

00:23:17.000 Somewhere close to 30 to 40 percent of men under the age of 30 are not going to get married. Why?

00:23:21.000 They're afraid. They're leaving the dating because of this.

00:23:24.000 If a man can't say, oh, I love it. Yeah, you do this. Hey, well I

00:23:28.000 You would you like to grab coffee? Without it being seen as inappropriate, guys are just going to say, all right

00:23:34.000 I'm done. Then I'm not I'm not going to to fire my shot anymore. Do you realize that with with...

00:23:39.000 I don't think he's firing a shot. No, I don't think he is, but I'm saying even if that were the case it wouldn't be...

00:23:43.000 It's for radio.

00:24:02.000 Yeah.

00:24:03.000 Have you seen print journalists?

00:24:04.000 Yes, it's quite rough.

00:24:06.000 Yeah.

00:24:07.000 I think perverted is like former vice president, you know, stroking six-year-olds faces and sniffing them as they try to escape.

00:24:13.000 As they try and throw the gator roll on him.

00:24:17.000 He's done it like three times this week.

00:24:19.000 We can't even do it this week in Pine.

00:24:20.000 The guy can't stop.

00:24:22.000 Holding the hands of like six kids yesterday.

00:24:23.000 You know, men are terrified.

00:24:25.000 It's a 50-50 shot.

00:24:27.000 Depending where I am in this country.

00:24:28.000 If I hold the door open, if a woman says thank you, or if a woman says I can do it myself.

00:24:34.000 That's the kind of culture that we're creating.

00:24:37.000 Do you want to live in that?

00:24:38.000 Comment below.

00:24:39.000 Women, do you think this is better for you?

00:24:41.000 The other day there was a woman carrying some heavy bags.

00:24:42.000 I said, hey, do you look like you could use a hand with it?

00:24:45.000 She said, oh no, shit, I've got it, but thank you.

00:24:47.000 She said, thank you very much for offering.

00:24:49.000 I said, you know what?

00:24:50.000 I spoke with her.

00:24:50.000 I said, it's a, I gotta let you know, I felt like I was taking a risk saying that because I've had people chew me out.

00:24:55.000 She goes, what?

00:24:56.000 Who would do that?

00:24:57.000 And I'm like, talk to your friends.

00:25:00.000 Yeah.

00:25:00.000 Talk to your friends.

00:25:01.000 Start policing around to your friends.

00:25:03.000 As soon as she started talking, I imagined heavy bags as being her boobs.

00:25:09.000 You're an awful person.

00:25:10.000 Everything you said was so wrong!

00:25:12.000 Can I help you carry those things, ma'am?

00:25:16.000 It's the sexist.

00:25:17.000 Josh went full perverted.

00:25:18.000 Sixties and new fifties!

00:25:21.000 Daddy's hungry!

00:25:22.000 It's a hypothetical!

00:25:24.000 I'm just...

00:25:26.000 It didn't help that I was dressed like a giant baby for no reason.

00:25:29.000 Yes, you took your pacifier out and said, replace it.

00:25:35.000 I just followed her for the next two blocks going... A homeless guy did that to my wife in LA?

00:25:44.000 It was so funny and then for like the next two years, whenever my wife's in a bad mood I'd go

00:25:48.000 Unfortunately Doyle had to apologize He wrote a column saying, this is where I was convinced I was harmless and right when a woman I deeply respect told me, but Caitlin Clarke is a young woman and you don't talk to a young woman the same as you would a young man.

00:26:10.000 Um, okay.

00:26:12.000 I thought, I was under the impression that we were supposed to treat Women and men the same, according to feminism?

00:26:19.000 Now, I don't.

00:26:20.000 I don't subscribe to that.

00:26:21.000 There are things that I say to my male friends that I probably wouldn't say.

00:26:25.000 But I do think there is something to be said for this, is you treat women with respect, as far as it relates to respect, with the exact same level of respect that you would grant to a man.

00:26:33.000 Meaning, it's based on how he's earned it.

00:26:35.000 Men start with, and this is true, men start with each other.

00:26:38.000 There's a baseline level of respect, okay?

00:26:40.000 And then, there are different tiers.

00:26:43.000 It depends on the kind of a man they are, right?

00:26:45.000 We don't laud men who we don't know with respect and say, oh my gosh, you're beautiful.

00:26:49.000 We don't do that with any men.

00:26:50.000 And I do, women out there, I think seeing a man treat you, I'm not saying the jokes, sure, locker room talk exists, but if you see a man who is an absolute germ, right, with his buddies, and then, I just really respect women, that's your signal right there.

00:27:04.000 That is a red flag, and that is what you see on the feminist left.

00:27:08.000 That is, the problem is inauthenticity.

00:27:10.000 It's a lie, which is the theme of the show today.

00:27:12.000 If they're relatively similar in how they interact with you and their male colleagues, you probably are safe.

00:27:19.000 That's my opinion.

00:27:21.000 What do you think, Pops?

00:27:23.000 I agree.

00:27:24.000 Those female reporters had those players blushing.

00:27:27.000 Yes.

00:27:28.000 They were affected by those comments.

00:27:29.000 They couldn't answer right away.

00:27:29.000 Yeah.

00:27:31.000 Right.

00:27:31.000 They were taken off guard.

00:27:33.000 And, oh, by the way, this brings us to the WN- Joe, former Vice President Biden, got in on the women's sports debate.

00:27:38.000 No, not talking about men beating the hell out of them, which he also supports, with this gem.

00:27:44.000 He said, women in sports continue to push new boundaries and inspire us all.

00:27:49.000 But right now we're seeing that even if you're the best, women are not paid their fair share.

00:27:53.000 Anytime someone says fair share, you know they're a dick.

00:27:58.000 It's time that we give our daughters the same opportunities as our sons, and ensure that women are paid what they deserve.

00:28:05.000 Women in sports continue to push new boundaries and inspire us all.

00:28:07.000 which by the way sounds an awful lot like something he said about athletes with disability.

00:28:11.000 Iris all uh are they disabled because they're not dunking so i don't know like what

00:28:30.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:28:31.000 Nobody undercuts his own argument.

00:28:32.000 He said they need the same opportunities as men, and then they need to be paid their fair share.

00:28:37.000 So they need the same results.

00:28:40.000 There's his problem.

00:28:41.000 He doesn't even see that as a problem.

00:28:42.000 Yeah, well if they need the same opportunities, then we would need to, if we need to equalize it, we would need to have biological men compete against superhuman men.

00:28:52.000 Because that's what women are facing right now in college sports.

00:28:55.000 They need the same opportunities.

00:28:57.000 Throw some linebackers in there in a wig.

00:29:00.000 Just get rid of weight classes entirely.

00:29:02.000 Yes, exactly.

00:29:04.000 It's progress for the sake of progress.

00:29:06.000 It cannot be consistent.

00:29:07.000 That's where we are.

00:29:08.000 How does Joe Biden sit there with a straight face and tweet out, women need the same opportunities men do as far as sports, at the same time as supporting biological males in women's sports?

00:29:19.000 Well, he didn't tweet that, to be clear.

00:29:23.000 I mean, he's got, like, interns and people who run his office.

00:29:26.000 Josh, is there a WNBA team in D.C.? ?

00:29:29.000 Yes, they're called... No, I don't think so.

00:29:31.000 I don't care what they're called.

00:29:32.000 They're called the embezzlers.

00:29:35.000 I wonder if Biden has ever supported that.

00:29:36.000 Biden, are you a season ticket holder?

00:29:38.000 Yeah.

00:29:39.000 Go watch it!

00:29:41.000 Women don't watch it.

00:29:42.000 Be the change you seek, dummy.

00:29:45.000 So here's the claim that you'll see from them all the time.

00:29:48.000 And we've done this before, but this bears repeating.

00:29:51.000 That WNBA players don't get paid enough.

00:29:56.000 She was selling drugs.

00:29:56.000 Boo hoo.

00:29:57.000 deal. Four years. And she's she's well paid. Britney Griner had to go to Russia because

00:30:03.000 of how poorly we pay and have always paid in this sport.

00:30:07.000 Boo hoo. She was selling drugs.

00:30:09.000 $338,000. So she gets in 2025, 78,000. 2026, 85,000. 2027, 97,000. So she would qualify

00:30:22.000 for low income housing in San Francisco. What?

00:30:27.000 Is she playing in San Francisco?

00:30:30.000 She'll be paid less than the average salary of a union nurse, teacher, or cop.

00:30:36.000 $76,000 is not enough for someone you are looking to be the face of the league going forward.

00:30:44.000 No other professional sports league would do something like that, and it's a shame.

00:30:48.000 You made the point that it was kind of funny how they inadvertently... Yeah, they exposed themselves to how bad inflation is.

00:30:56.000 That $76,500... I looked at that number exactly.

00:30:57.000 $76,535 is $6,535 more than I was making a year ago.

00:30:58.000 So you qualified for low-income housing in San Francisco!

00:30:59.000 And I thought I was doing pretty damn good!

00:31:01.000 I owned a home and everything!

00:31:02.000 Well, you know what?

00:31:03.000 That money goes pretty far.

00:31:04.000 five hundred thirty five dollars more that i was making uh...

00:31:07.000 uh... your ago so you qualified for a lot of housing in san francisco that i

00:31:11.000 was doing pretty good i don't know how many everything we know what that money

00:31:15.000 goes pretty far in gary indiana yes should

00:31:18.000 Just to be clear.

00:31:19.000 Now, here's the truth.

00:31:20.000 At least he doesn't play for Washington, D.C.

00:31:21.000 He's not in Gary.

00:31:22.000 How far is that from Indianapolis?

00:31:23.000 I have no idea.

00:31:24.000 There's nothing good in Indiana.

00:31:25.000 By the way, this is going to be a huge boon to the economy in Indiana, because what people fail to realize is Indiana is very close to Chicago, to major cities in Michigan.

00:31:34.000 So as opposed to major cities in the middle of a state, like people are going to be coming in from out of state to see her.

00:31:38.000 That's actually going to have an impact on the state economy.

00:31:41.000 As far as the claim that they don't make enough money, here's the truth.

00:31:45.000 The WNBA doesn't generate any money.

00:31:48.000 So, the annual revenue, to give you an idea, the WNBA, it's around $180 to $200 million.

00:31:52.000 That's their gross revenue.

00:31:53.000 The NBA is $10 billion.

00:31:57.000 Wait, with a B?

00:31:57.000 Right.

00:31:59.000 Yes, with a B. The TV rights, okay?

00:32:01.000 The WNBA, $65 million.

00:32:03.000 Okay, that seems pretty... The NBA, $2.8 billion.

00:32:08.000 Two-thirds of the WNBA money is directly from a joint deal with the NBA.

00:32:16.000 Even those numbers are fluffed by the male side of the sport.

00:32:19.000 By two-thirds.

00:32:21.000 Oh my goodness.

00:32:22.000 Let's go on to another claim here that they're making.

00:32:25.000 Here's a claim that WNBA players, they want to be paid their fair share, their same portion, as NBA players.

00:32:34.000 We are not asking you to get paid what the men get paid.

00:32:37.000 We're asking you to get paid the same percentage of revenue.

00:32:39.000 Shared.

00:32:40.000 You know what I'm saying?

00:32:40.000 Okay.

00:32:41.000 So that's a huge misconception.

00:32:42.000 That's a huge misconception.

00:32:43.000 For sure.

00:32:43.000 Because every video is like, oh this person gets paid this, this person gets paid that.

00:32:47.000 So I want to be really clear about that.

00:32:48.000 I don't think I should get paid the same as LeBron.

00:32:52.000 Good.

00:32:52.000 Yeah, neither should most of the NBA players.

00:32:55.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:32:56.000 So, he's kind of the best.

00:32:57.000 Here's the truth.

00:32:59.000 If we're talking about being paid their fair share, alright, she's talking about gross revenue, so it's true.

00:33:05.000 The WNBA, right, the players make about 20% of the gross revenue from the league.

00:33:09.000 Whereas the NBA, they make about 50% of the gross revenue.

00:33:12.000 We gave you those numbers.

00:33:13.000 I don't know if you know this, there's a big difference between gross revenue and net.

00:33:17.000 Here's the issue.

00:33:18.000 In reality, the WNBA loses money.

00:33:22.000 So the NBA net profit is about $3 billion a year.

00:33:27.000 The WNBA net profit is negative $10 million a year.

00:33:32.000 So if they want to be paid the proper percentage, the WNBA players will now be paid in invoices.

00:33:40.000 I thought we were talking WNBA.

00:33:45.000 What was that?

00:33:48.000 Isn't their season like four months?

00:33:50.000 I have no idea.

00:33:52.000 They work less than teachers, I think.

00:33:53.000 Well, there's like nine teams in the league.

00:33:56.000 As of 2018, the WNBA has never turned a profit.

00:34:00.000 Those are the last financials.

00:34:02.000 I'm not very transparent with them.

00:34:03.000 All references are available at ladderwithcredit.com.

00:34:05.000 This is the theme.

00:34:06.000 Feminists, third-wave feminists, and people on the left, they don't want what they deserve.

00:34:11.000 I deserve my fair share.

00:34:13.000 Do you really?

00:34:14.000 Do you really want your fair share?

00:34:17.000 Do you really want what that minimum wage job actually pays without the artificial inflation that we see by these mandates, either coming from the federal government or state government?

00:34:27.000 Do you really want your fair share?

00:34:29.000 WNBA players, do you really want your fair share as it relates to percentage of the profits?

00:34:34.000 Hey, you want to benefit in the profits?

00:34:36.000 You're also on the hook for the liabilities.

00:34:39.000 How about that?

00:34:40.000 Do you really want your fair share?

00:34:41.000 Do you really want fairness in being treated just like a man?

00:34:45.000 Because I see a lot of the things that you say, and for some reason, you don't get slapped.

00:34:49.000 I'm not advocating slapping women.

00:34:50.000 I'm saying if you were a man, that would be exactly the case.

00:34:53.000 I'd like to make the same money as Dave Chappelle, but tickets aren't coming in.

00:34:57.000 Not the same level as Dave?

00:34:59.000 None of us are!

00:35:00.000 And he's a black guy!

00:35:02.000 I don't understand any of this anymore!

00:35:05.000 Oh wait, that's right, Richard Pryor.

00:35:06.000 Oh wait, hold on a second, that's right, Eddie Murphy.

00:35:08.000 Oh, that's right!

00:35:08.000 When things are allowed to operate organically, it seems that in some cases, actually minorities, are overly represented through skill and talent.

00:35:17.000 They get what they deserve.

00:35:19.000 Notice you don't hear a lot of black people complaining that there's a discrepancy in comedy?

00:35:26.000 Why?

00:35:27.000 You actually do hear that quite a bit.

00:35:28.000 You hear from black lesbians.

00:35:29.000 You don't hear from black men.

00:35:31.000 You do not hear from black men as a movement.

00:35:33.000 There's no march being started that comics need to... 40%!

00:35:37.000 Last time I checked, 40% of the top 10 comics of all time were black.

00:35:42.000 40 games they play.

00:35:42.000 40 games from mainstream... I don't know for a fact, but I believe the NBA is 82.

00:35:48.000 Oh my gosh!

00:35:50.000 Oh my god.

00:35:51.000 If it is 82, they play literally half the games and want to be paid the same amount.

00:35:54.000 That's insane!

00:35:55.000 I just read the other day that they said, let's see how Kaitlyn handles the WNBA grind.

00:36:00.000 Grind, 40 games of them?

00:36:03.000 A couple practices a week.

00:36:04.000 I don't know, they probably practice every week.

00:36:05.000 She's already ordering Mai Tais.

00:36:07.000 Yeah, can confirm, NBA is 82 games a year.

00:36:10.000 82 games?

00:36:10.000 They play less than half of the NBA games.

00:36:13.000 They literally play the NBA off-season.

00:36:16.000 Literally.

00:36:17.000 That actually, that should work out for basketball fans.

00:36:19.000 Like, if you love basketball, you watch the NBA, boom, it's over, what's next?

00:36:23.000 It's like NFL, XFL.

00:36:24.000 There you go.

00:36:25.000 WNBA.

00:36:25.000 Watch it.

00:36:26.000 Well, you want to be treated just as the men, as Isaiah Thomas pointed out, WNBA players, we'll grant this, are just as skilled as NBA players.

00:36:34.000 So, Candice, let me ask you this question, because you have a similar skill set to A.D., with the exception of, you know, his jumping ability, dunking, and everything else, but... Wrong!

00:36:44.000 Such a passive-aggressive burn!

00:36:48.000 What's left?

00:36:49.000 such a passive-aggressive burn do you skate well?

00:37:01.000 you're just as good as a doctor as anybody else I mean, with the exception of your surgical skills, your knowledge, your residency, and... Isaiah's the guy that made the Larry Bird comments, as you know.

00:37:09.000 Yeah!

00:37:10.000 No, I know.

00:37:11.000 Very racial.

00:37:12.000 He's also a troll, though.

00:37:13.000 He just likes to get people riled up.

00:37:14.000 I don't know how many MPPs Larry won.

00:37:15.000 Shoutout to Gomo.

00:37:16.000 He played into Gomo.

00:37:17.000 Oh, did he?

00:37:18.000 Yeah.

00:37:19.000 It's okay, you want to be treated exactly the same?

00:37:23.000 Alright.

00:37:24.000 That's a big part of it.

00:37:25.000 I don't know if you know this, people really want to watch men who can do- they want to watch athletic freak shows.

00:37:29.000 That's what professional sports are.

00:37:30.000 Have you ever actually walked into the locker room or been around an NBA team or an NFL team?

00:37:37.000 They are actually- it's almost like all of- and by the way, this includes people of all races.

00:37:41.000 I'm talking about these crazy super athletes.

00:37:43.000 You can also take World's Strongest Man.

00:37:46.000 They are closer to gorillas than they are to you as the average human male.

00:37:51.000 It's not even close.

00:37:53.000 They're like at least a whole half-human larger, two times faster.

00:37:58.000 These are people who are picked because of their God-given athletic ability.

00:38:01.000 Of course, they refine it.

00:38:04.000 Go stand in a room, and you can do this with strongmen, you go to like the Arnold Classic, go in a room with Brian Shaw, Hafthor, Eddie Hall, you could put them in a lineup, you and a gorilla, and an alien would land today and think that Hafthor And Brian Shaw were of the species of the gorilla.

00:38:25.000 Because that's what sports is.

00:38:27.000 It's not about being the same.

00:38:29.000 You pay for the greatest athlete.

00:38:31.000 Jumping is kind of big.

00:38:32.000 Dunking is kind of big.

00:38:34.000 So if you don't have those abilities, you'll be paid like the men who can't do it in the NBA.

00:38:38.000 The problem that we run into with this equality issue is that there are more men who've walked And I know what you're going to say.

00:38:45.000 More men who've been to space?

00:38:46.000 No.

00:38:46.000 More men who've been to the moon?

00:38:48.000 There are more men who've walked on the moon than women who have dunked ever!

00:38:55.000 On a standard rim?

00:38:58.000 By a significant margin.

00:39:00.000 Yes!

00:39:01.000 I just did the math.

00:39:03.000 That $76,000 is $153,000 over $154,000 if they play a full season.

00:39:05.000 I didn't even think about this element of the equation.

00:39:05.000 Yes!

00:39:06.000 $34,000 if they play a full season.

00:39:08.000 Yes!

00:39:09.000 I can't, I didn't even think about this element of the equation is that they're playing half

00:39:15.000 the games.

00:39:16.000 Right?

00:39:17.000 At a ten, at a ten million dollar level?

00:39:19.000 Wow.

00:39:20.000 Think about that.

00:39:20.000 Yeah.

00:39:21.000 And by the way, this also has to do with market demand.

00:39:23.000 There's someone who transcends these sports, like Caitlin Clark.

00:39:25.000 Here's the beauty of this.

00:39:27.000 She's going to get paid.

00:39:28.000 Why?

00:39:29.000 Because people want to watch her.

00:39:31.000 Now, relatively speaking, she's incredible with the competition that she's facing.

00:39:34.000 While she was at University of Iowa, she was paid around $3 million when you look at the endorsements.

00:39:39.000 She's looking at an eight-figure deal with Nike alone that could include her own shoes.

00:39:42.000 So there are people who are willing to pay if you are really good.

00:39:46.000 If you are someone who they think is a good ambassador.

00:39:48.000 You're paid what?

00:39:49.000 What?

00:39:49.000 Your worth!

00:39:49.000 What?

00:39:51.000 Isn't that what equality is supposed to be?

00:39:53.000 This is where we see.

00:39:55.000 Equal opportunity versus ensured equal outcomes.

00:39:59.000 That's the issue with the WNBA and it's the same issue that you see with wealth redistribution, whether it's a socialist country, a communist country or the current DNC.

00:40:06.000 You cannot support equal opportunity and then demand equal outcomes.

00:40:10.000 You do have to pick one.

00:40:12.000 You have to pick one because they cannot coexist.

00:40:14.000 And let's be honest, a lot of people are just pissed that a white girl from Iowa is the only thing who's bringing attention to women's basketball.

00:40:20.000 I get it.

00:40:21.000 She's taking advantage of the notoriety, and she's actually going to be starring in another endorsement deal in the upcoming Spaceman.

00:40:26.000 That's going to be a big deal.

00:40:27.000 Good for her.

00:40:28.000 A little tired of the remakes.

00:40:28.000 Oh, nice!

00:40:31.000 Ticket sales don't lie.

00:40:32.000 And by the way, it provides clarity here, the market, after exhaustive research.

00:40:39.000 Uh, and looking at the ticket sales, it's clear what sports fans are willing to spend their cash on.

00:40:45.000 Men.

00:40:47.000 Top.

00:40:48.000 Men.

00:40:50.000 The good news is you can solve the problem of today's greatest civil rights infractions.

00:40:56.000 Just pay for some tickets to the WNBA.

00:40:59.000 And enjoy it.

00:41:00.000 Enjoy it!

00:41:01.000 Yeah, get some popcorn, a hot dog.

00:41:03.000 Yep!

00:41:03.000 Go there!

00:41:04.000 Souvenir, park the car.

00:41:05.000 Absolutely.

00:41:06.000 Buy a shirt.

00:41:07.000 And revenue.

00:41:07.000 Yep.

00:41:08.000 And to answer your question, yes, they do validate parking.

00:41:12.000 They actually don't, but it's quite cheap.

00:41:14.000 Yes!

00:41:15.000 Almost free!

00:41:18.000 It's amazing what kind of deals you can get out there.

00:41:20.000 It's like going to a single A baseball game.

00:41:21.000 Yeah.

00:41:22.000 It's the only place where you can... They're not paid well either.

00:41:23.000 You can call one of the coaches and say, where do I park?

00:41:25.000 They'll say, anywhere in the street is fine.

00:41:27.000 I mean, screw it.

00:41:28.000 Park in left field.

00:41:29.000 Yeah, that's a good point though, Josh.

00:41:29.000 We don't care.

00:41:30.000 Minor pro sports.

00:41:32.000 Male minor pro sports.

00:41:33.000 That's pretty fun.

00:41:34.000 I mean, you take your family.

00:41:35.000 It's high level.

00:41:36.000 It's not the best.

00:41:37.000 You can get a dog, a Coke, a beer, and park the car, and a souvenir for the kids, and it's a day out or a night out, and it's good enough.

00:41:45.000 We used to go to Tacoma Rainiers games all the time.

00:41:47.000 AAA team in Tacoma.

00:41:48.000 Oh, AAA is right on the cusp of... You get pro players.

00:41:52.000 I got to watch All-Stars pitch, you know, 20 feet away from the plate.

00:41:56.000 Wouldn't good AAA teams beat maybe non-playoff contending Major League teams?

00:42:01.000 They're that good.

00:42:01.000 I'm going to get the Oakland A's right now, because they're not doing so great.

00:42:05.000 No, it's a great, yeah, I love those little, you can probably, the WNBA probably has something like that.

00:42:09.000 Minor Pro Hockey is a blast.

00:42:10.000 We used to have a four ticket deal.

00:42:12.000 You get four tickets and four Chick-fil-A sandwiches on Sunday, which was, they're closed on Sunday, so I think they're Saturday's chicken, but it was still a deal.

00:42:19.000 That's true.

00:42:20.000 I thought you were going to say it was a false promo, where it's like, get your free Chick-fil-A on Sunday.

00:42:25.000 Ah, it's closed!

00:42:26.000 It's a real deal.

00:42:28.000 Those waffle fries are disgusting.

00:42:30.000 It's a bad chicken sandwich promo, we're not going to lie.

00:42:32.000 The chicken sandwich promo with no chicken sandwich.

00:42:35.000 We need to get our marketing experts on this.

00:42:38.000 And you know what you're talking about too?

00:42:40.000 Those players are happy to be paid.

00:42:42.000 To have an opportunity.

00:42:43.000 Kind of like when you're doing comedy.

00:42:45.000 You know if you're an emcee or you know if you're middling at a certain point, you're getting stage time.

00:42:49.000 People are not there to see you.

00:42:50.000 You take the check.

00:42:51.000 It's very different once you reach a certain level and you can draw people and you can sell tickets.

00:42:55.000 The equation changes.

00:42:57.000 This whole thing about fair share, it really is anti-biblical and that's kind of what we're seeing with everything.

00:43:02.000 And I mean this, we are told as Christians to be grateful.

00:43:07.000 And the idea is to be grateful and content, but not necessarily ever satisfied.

00:43:12.000 It's okay to strive for more, because if you are grateful for what you have, but not satisfied, you start with a base, man, I'm grateful.

00:43:19.000 Whatever it is, I have a roof over my head.

00:43:21.000 Even if you don't, you're grateful.

00:43:23.000 Everything else is earned.

00:43:25.000 It's really the prescription, as far as what Christians believe, and this is why we go back to, you cannot be a Bible-believing Christian and think that you're entitled to a fair share just because you say so.

00:43:36.000 You are entitled to what you earn, and you need to be grateful for what you have.

00:43:40.000 And we see it play out in real life.

00:43:41.000 Those people with that mindset, guess what?

00:43:43.000 They're happier, and they tend to be more successful.

00:43:45.000 Go read books on any of the wealthiest, any of the most successful athletes.

00:43:49.000 All of them.

00:43:50.000 All of them were grateful, and all of them were borderline obsessive-compulsive.

00:43:55.000 about trying to achieve more and so they worked their asses off. This idea of someone just being

00:44:01.000 born with it, whether it's a billionaire being born with daddy's money in a trust fund, it almost

00:44:06.000 never happens. You'll find some people who have millions right in a trust fund, but as far as the

00:44:10.000 most successful, the elite of the elite, the idea of Michael Jordans, of Wayne Gretzky's, of anyone

00:44:14.000 like, of Brian Shaw who we've had in the show, George St.

00:44:16.000 Pierre, you look at any of these elite people, all of them were grateful for anything they had and

00:44:22.000 boy did they work their ass off because they were afraid that it would either slip through

00:44:26.000 their fingers or they wouldn't earn it.

00:44:29.000 How about that mindset?

00:44:30.000 You know what?

00:44:31.000 Have that mindset and maybe you'll achieve great things.

00:44:33.000 Also, us here, we're very grateful.

00:44:35.000 We're about to go into NPR.

00:44:55.000 But that actually happened.

00:44:56.000 We'll roll that clip again in Mug Club.

00:44:59.000 Rough time for PBS back then.

00:45:01.000 You, Mug Club, we are beholden to you, not to a bunch of sponsors, and certainly not to the government who gets to ensure what we can and can't say.

00:45:08.000 You can go to lightoffcutter.com slash Mug Club.

00:45:11.000 $89 annually.

00:45:12.000 You can go Mugless for Nine dollars, you get Nick DiPaolo's show every day, this show, Friday show, a whole hundred percent more of show daily, you get, gosh, it's been expanding so much, you have Hodge Twins, you have Guns and Gear, you have Brian Callen, and of course you have the investigative unit, more to come.

00:45:26.000 We can't do any of this without you.

00:45:28.000 As opposed to NPR, who can't do anything without taxpayer dollars.

00:45:32.000 So!

00:45:33.000 I'm sorry, real quick, this is a really funny headline on CNN.

00:45:35.000 More than a dozen Kennedy family members to endorse President Biden over RFK Jr.

00:45:39.000 Well.

00:45:40.000 It's just kind of funny.

00:45:41.000 It's like, even his family's like, nah.

00:45:44.000 Cousin Bob?

00:45:44.000 Nah.

00:45:45.000 Come on, guy.

00:45:46.000 Can you maybe just consider not endorsing anybody?

00:45:52.000 Go neutral.

00:45:53.000 Just, yeah, just don't stab me in the back.

00:45:57.000 Again.

00:45:58.000 I don't think I'm asking the world for a hand with the world here.

00:46:01.000 Just don't, don't, don't hurt me.

00:46:05.000 He sounds like a weaker Nick Nolte.

00:46:07.000 He does.

00:46:08.000 That's shitty.

00:46:08.000 Poor guy.

00:46:09.000 That's shitty.

00:46:09.000 I know.

00:46:10.000 If you're his family, just say nothing.

00:46:12.000 Yeah, they'll come out publicly and, yeah.

00:46:16.000 You know what, this is a separate conversation.

00:46:17.000 Before we go to NPR, that's kind of my code.

00:46:19.000 I don't know about you, with your spouse, or with your family.

00:46:21.000 Even if they're wrong, you go to bat for them, and then quietly you say, like, hey, you know, you really probably shouldn't have said that.

00:46:27.000 You know, like, hey dad, that might have been slightly tinged with racism.

00:46:30.000 But I won't say it publicly.

00:46:36.000 Comment below.

00:46:37.000 It's like if you're in the circle of trust, you don't go out and do that.

00:46:43.000 You handle your business privately.

00:46:45.000 That's what we used to do as men and honestly as decent women.

00:46:49.000 Now everything is mudslinging in the public when there are affairs that should just be kept private.

00:46:54.000 Like endorsing the opposition to your son and or brother or cousin.

00:46:59.000 What a shitty family!

00:47:01.000 Well, they took him out of the trust.

00:47:03.000 A whole bunch of them were murdered.

00:47:05.000 Isn't it amazing though, you know how people say family look alike?

00:47:09.000 That Canadian, that Kennedy, that cast comes through the family all the way, generationally.

00:47:15.000 It's the curse.

00:47:16.000 You see one, several generations removed, they look like a Kennedy.

00:47:20.000 It is an amazing thing.

00:47:21.000 It really is.

00:47:22.000 It's scary, too.

00:47:23.000 And they did, they killed people.

00:47:25.000 So, let's go to NPR.

00:47:29.000 Why don't you... What?

00:47:30.000 What happened?

00:47:32.000 Pops Crotter, before we go on here, this is the narrative that's going out is with the new, you know, Uri Berliner, who wrote this op-ed and kind of exposed the ultra, ultra wokeness of NPR.

00:47:43.000 A lot of people out there right now are saying, yeah, man, this has really changed.

00:47:46.000 They've gone off the rails.

00:47:48.000 You've been around a while.

00:47:49.000 We've talked about this.

00:47:49.000 Has NPR ever been neutral?

00:47:52.000 No, but you said earlier that they're there to do the bidding of the government.

00:47:56.000 Right.

00:47:57.000 They're there to do the bidding of the Democrat Party.

00:47:57.000 They're not.

00:48:00.000 Yes, that's a good point.

00:48:01.000 When Trump was in office, they were still, they were so biased the other way, and now they're just happy that Biden's in and they're doing his bidding, but they're always left.

00:48:09.000 Let me ask you this, were they also the same way with George W. Bush?

00:48:12.000 Yeah.

00:48:13.000 With the wars and with Senior?

00:48:13.000 Oh yeah.

00:48:16.000 Yeah.

00:48:17.000 Yep.

00:48:17.000 Same?

00:48:18.000 Yeah, it was remarkable.

00:48:18.000 They absolutely were.

00:48:19.000 I want to know.

00:48:20.000 Everything was anti-corruption, you know, with the government.

00:48:23.000 We have a corrupt government.

00:48:24.000 And then when Barack Obama came in, all of a sudden the government was inherently virtuous.

00:48:27.000 Also, he upped their funding.

00:48:28.000 And Donald Trump said he was going to cut their funding.

00:48:30.000 So did Mitt Romney.

00:48:31.000 He said he was going to cut their funding because he doesn't believe it's a legitimate role of government.

00:48:33.000 So think of the brilliant racket that this is.

00:48:36.000 And anyone who tells you they've gone left now, I used to love them, has not been paying attention.

00:48:41.000 It's a good point, Pops Crowder.

00:48:43.000 They have to not only do the bidding of the government, but they have to do the bidding of the party in government who will continue to fund them.

00:48:50.000 And there's one party that will do that, and I've experienced this in Canada.

00:48:53.000 So this started, and I'm going to get to quite a bit here for those of you who don't know the history of NPR.

00:48:59.000 It was early, Uri Berliner wrote this op-ed about NPR, okay?

00:49:04.000 He wrote this op-ed about how concerned he was, how far left they were, how they had these blind spots, how there was no intellectual diversity.

00:49:11.000 NPR rivals Pravda.

00:49:11.000 Okay.

00:49:13.000 All right, so let's go through here the recent whistleblowing, why people are talking about it, but the history of the NPR and the Democratic Party, and who is running NPR now, and why that's a problem, specifically when you understand the influence they have with Our government officials, and with Big Tech, who basically are the only people left who view them as legitimate.

00:49:39.000 So you have this guy, Berliner, and like any good whistleblower, by the way, their identity and motivation is still unknown.

00:49:47.000 So that's, yeah.

00:49:48.000 And then it got leaked and it was the living twin of Anthony Bourdain, which seemed to surprise people.

00:49:53.000 It's like, it's not even... Oh wow, he looks sadder than Bourdain.

00:49:56.000 Well, he works at NPR.

00:49:57.000 It's pretty hard.

00:49:58.000 Yeah.

00:50:00.000 So this is what he said in the Free Press.

00:50:01.000 He said, what's notable is the extent to which people at every level of NPR have comfortably coalesced around the progressive worldview.

00:50:07.000 And this, I believe, is the most damaging development at NPR, the absence of viewpoint diversity.

00:50:12.000 He highlighted a few major problems.

00:50:14.000 This focus on DEI after the death of George Floyd and some story selection.

00:50:18.000 He said that they constantly were harping on the debunked Russia collusion hoax.

00:50:22.000 Even after they knew it was a hoax and then they just kind of gradually made it disappear.

00:50:28.000 They were actively focused on disproving the COVID lab leak theory and this new CEO said that she would speak with the government when she worked at Wikipedia back then in order to determine what was considered misinformation.

00:50:40.000 They actively silenced you and actively lobbied the government to silence you and scientists during COVID who said this may not be coming from a wet market and a bat.

00:50:51.000 That's what's been happening.

00:50:52.000 They buried the Hunter Biden laptop story, and the influence, you think about that, that influenced Twitter, that influenced Facebook, that influenced big tech, because NPR was seen as a shining beacon of journalism.

00:51:02.000 It's always been a lie that they've tried to keep alive so they can use, just like using Snopes, PolitiFact, Reuters, as an official fact checker, who by the way, as far as I know, to this day, still don't know if Ilhan Omar married her brother.

00:51:16.000 She did.

00:51:20.000 And then this guy, Berliner, resigned yesterday.

00:51:22.000 He was suspended without pay for this expose. He said, I'm resigning from NPR, a great American

00:51:26.000 institution where I've worked for 25 years. I don't support calls to defund NPR. You should.

00:51:31.000 I respect the integrity of my colleagues and wish for NPR to thrive and do important journalism.

00:51:35.000 But you just wrote in your article that your colleagues were cowards and there was no

00:51:38.000 intellectual diversity. And they met you with ambivalence when you suggested that you should

00:51:42.000 have different viewpoints. This is the problem. This is the problem with the left and people.

00:51:46.000 So I'm glad this guy did it. Don't embrace him as a hero.

00:51:48.000 He still can't get past this cognitive He did stand up here, and we do want to respect his bravery.

00:51:53.000 by a new CEO whose divisive views confirmed the very problems at NPR I cite in my free

00:51:58.000 press essay."

00:51:59.000 He also released, well, it's sad whenever someone loses their job, let's be clear, when

00:52:05.000 they're released from their job.

00:52:06.000 So, you know, he did stand up here and we do want to respect his bravery.

00:52:11.000 Thank you very much, Mr. Berliner, in memoriam.

00:52:14.000 I tried to call out NPR, put in the egg, it didn't work.

00:52:20.000 It doesn't even matter. They're all lip drugs like Catherine Barr. But they pretend it doesn't really matter.

00:52:35.000 He really does look sad. He looks like the guy left on the bus when Moscow and the Hudson defected.

00:52:42.000 Well, he worked for NPR for seven years.

00:52:47.000 This sucks the soul from your body.

00:52:49.000 So this new CEO, and we'll get to her, Catherine Marr, she downplayed the complaints and of course attacked the messenger.

00:52:55.000 She said, asking a question about whether we're living up to our mission should always be fair game.

00:53:00.000 After all, journalism is nothing if not hard questions.

00:53:04.000 Well, it's something.

00:53:05.000 You can still ask questions.

00:53:06.000 They don't always have to be hard.

00:53:07.000 But I understand the point.

00:53:08.000 I'm always hard.

00:53:09.000 Questioning whether our people are serving our mission with integrity based on little more than the recognition of their identity is profoundly disrespectful, hurtful, and demeaning.

00:53:19.000 Let me read that again.

00:53:20.000 Based on little more than the recognition of their identity.

00:53:23.000 Oh, you mean like your hiring practices?

00:53:25.000 I don't know.

00:53:28.000 It's not fixable.

00:53:29.000 What did she call it?

00:53:30.000 She called it disgusting.

00:53:32.000 Disgusting?

00:53:33.000 Sorry, disrespectful, hurtful, and demeaning.

00:53:36.000 I was hoping she used three words that would make the acronym DEI.

00:53:41.000 Close.

00:53:42.000 D-H-D.

00:53:43.000 Do something with that, Josh.

00:53:45.000 Die-hard douches?

00:53:46.000 Okay, there we go.

00:53:47.000 Close enough.

00:53:48.000 I don't know if it applies to a woman.

00:53:49.000 You tried to Conan Nome-y.

00:53:50.000 I did, a little bit.

00:53:53.000 It would have been great if it was DEI.

00:53:54.000 Honestly, I would have been like, how did I miss it?

00:53:56.000 I know.

00:53:58.000 This person came out and right away, his question, well, that's exactly what he did.

00:54:02.000 He questioned your ability to live up to the mission because of the fact that you were hiring exclusively based on identity.

00:54:09.000 But good hard question.

00:54:11.000 Yeah.

00:54:12.000 Your question would have been appropriate if you didn't ask it.

00:54:18.000 This is where we are with NPR.

00:54:20.000 And by the way, this comes on the heels of a story you may not know of a more moderate liberal who was fired from NPR earlier this year for not being far enough to the left.

00:54:30.000 Good morning, I'm Frankfort Bellman and this is NPR News.

00:54:34.000 Today we discuss our pop culture happy hour in which we envision a too near future that we are assisting in creating here at NPR.

00:54:41.000 Stephen King, Are you f***ing kidding me?

00:54:43.000 on a recommended authors list, even though the justification escapes us, and Beyonce

00:54:43.000 All this s***.

00:54:48.000 defies gender norms and breaks down barriers.

00:54:51.000 For the invention of modern country music, and I'm receiving a note right here that...

00:54:57.000 Are you f***ing kidding me?

00:55:01.000 All this s***.

00:55:02.000 Now, after all the s*** I've eaten here, under the name of news, every f***ing Mongolian

00:55:10.000 throat singing conference.

00:55:13.000 Lesbian f***ing f***ing duo!

00:55:15.000 Oh, by the way!

00:55:15.000 Hey!

00:55:16.000 Hey, Bradford!

00:55:18.000 Your wife's not a d***!

00:55:19.000 Guess how I know!

00:55:24.000 Oh, by the way, this has been going on for so long, you can go back to 2015 when this was syndicated on radio and we would have to fill a bunch of commercial spots 16 minutes an hour because no one wanted to listen nationally to like Ypsilanti, Ford.

00:55:37.000 We would just make these sketches.

00:55:38.000 We did a series of NPR sketches pointing out their leftist bias.

00:55:42.000 Way back then, you could actually get it wherever you listen to your podcasts.

00:55:46.000 There's Spotify, Apple, Google, I believe Amazon Prime does it now, and we'll upload that as a portion of the Lost Tapes.

00:55:52.000 I think there might be an installment of like four or five.

00:55:54.000 So there you go.

00:55:54.000 Let me give you some history on NPR here.

00:55:57.000 Founded in 1967.

00:56:00.000 Part of the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

00:56:02.000 They've grown to over a thousand stations across the country.

00:56:05.000 In some cities, they have actually more than one station.

00:56:09.000 so they can be your prime, at some periods of time in this country, they were your primary

00:56:09.000 Viewers like me?

00:56:13.000 two news sources on radio, depending where you were.

00:56:16.000 Let's look at their funding.

00:56:17.000 In 2024, PBS and NPR together received over $500 million from the federal government.

00:56:24.000 And viewers like me?

00:56:25.000 Oh.

00:56:26.000 well.

00:56:26.000 As well!

00:56:28.000 They want to tell you!

00:56:29.000 I didn't get a tote bag.

00:56:31.000 No.

00:56:32.000 No.

00:56:33.000 I would hope not.

00:56:34.000 They also still haven't solved, uh, is it muscular dystrophy?

00:56:36.000 What is it that, uh, Jerry?

00:56:37.000 Yeah.

00:56:38.000 Yeah, they still haven't solved MS.

00:56:39.000 I don't know, I guess it's going to more... That's not MS, but it's MD.

00:56:42.000 Oh, MD.

00:56:43.000 Boy, we're bad with the acronyms today.

00:56:45.000 We are a big swing and a miss with the acronyms.

00:56:47.000 Look at the political contributions.

00:56:49.000 So $500 million comes in from the government, alright, and then the vast Majority of contributions from these employees go to who?

00:56:57.000 Democrats.

00:56:57.000 Who?

00:56:58.000 Examples?

00:56:59.000 2020, 92% contributed to Democrats.

00:57:02.000 Let me give you a history of their liberal bias, this beacon of objective journalism. 1977.

00:57:08.000 Jimmy Carter increased the funding to public broadcasting.

00:57:11.000 I'm sure that wouldn't affect their content whatsoever.

00:57:13.000 When the government says, we'll give you more money, sorry, one party, you wouldn't have a vested interest in that party remaining in power, would you?

00:57:20.000 Especially when you look at 1981, Ronald Reagan actually tried to cut NPR funding.

00:57:26.000 Then we go to the 1990s and you have Clinton who successfully actually fought off the Republican efforts to defund public broadcasting.

00:57:33.000 Now keep in mind a big reason that this was happening was because they were so biased and they were such a primary source of news and the rest of the media trying to take part in this agreed-upon lie convinced you that NPR was a good place to get and it actively harmed one political party.

00:57:52.000 They were being funded by one political party as glorified hitmen to harm the other one.

00:57:58.000 Whether you're a Republican or Democrat doesn't matter.

00:58:00.000 These are the facts.

00:58:01.000 It is absolutely true.

00:58:03.000 500 million, 92% contributions, Carter increased funding, Reagan tries to cut it, Democrats largely block it, Clinton fights off Republicans trying to defund NPR.

00:58:12.000 It goes all the way through Donald Trump.

00:58:14.000 2003, let's go here.

00:58:16.000 NPR ombudsman, a guy named Jeff Dworkin, admitted NPR's liberal bias openly.

00:58:23.000 He said the Bill O'Reilly interview only served to confirm the belief in NPR's liberal media bias by coming across as pro-Al Franken at that point.

00:58:30.000 Part of the interview was regarding that.

00:58:32.000 Then you look at 2011.

00:58:34.000 Barack Obama, what did he do?

00:58:36.000 Well, he proposed increasing NPR and PBS's funding.

00:58:39.000 By the way, this was during a recession, mind you.

00:58:42.000 So you may think, hey, I kind of like NPR.

00:58:44.000 All right, but there was a record level of unemployment.

00:58:47.000 People's 401ks disappeared.

00:58:51.000 NPR, PBS, they always say this, like with COVID, we're all in this together.

00:58:55.000 Really?

00:58:56.000 What budget cuts did you get?

00:58:58.000 After the crash.

00:58:59.000 Oh no, that's right.

00:58:59.000 NPR?

00:58:59.000 PBS?

00:59:01.000 You're insured that won't happen as long as one party is in power.

00:59:05.000 Then in 2011, because remember, Barack Obama had this stimulus bill.

00:59:09.000 It was record spending.

00:59:11.000 Americans were pissed off with it.

00:59:12.000 The Tea Party came to beat.

00:59:13.000 The Tea Party was saying, hey government, you need to rein in Right, your authority here, because you're spending and we can't afford it, we don't want these taxes.

00:59:21.000 In other words, they're actually protesting things like NPR, bloated government.

00:59:26.000 If you were to look at non-necessities to trim from government, NPR, PBS, right?

00:59:32.000 Barney would have to be at the top of that list!

00:59:36.000 So then in 2011, in response to a populist movement demanding shrinking the size of government, The NPR fundraising executive Ron Schiller, of course,

00:59:46.000 hated the Tea Party, and he actually was caught on a live mic in a Project Veritas

00:59:51.000 thing.

00:59:52.000 Now let me just translate this for you.

01:00:19.000 Thank you.

01:00:21.000 White, okay, majority of the country is white.

01:00:23.000 Middle America, what they mean is people who aren't us in New York, DC, San Francisco, Los Angeles.

01:00:28.000 Gun-toting, someone who owns a firearm.

01:00:32.000 They're denigrating all of you!

01:00:35.000 And by the way, he was trying to get money, at this point, from who he thought was the Muslim Brotherhood.

01:00:41.000 He hates you!

01:00:43.000 If you have a gun!

01:00:45.000 More than the Muslim Brotherhood.

01:00:47.000 So, we've gone from the 1960s, we've gone from, uh, sorry, 1970s, and Jimmy Carter, all references available, link in the description, LotOfCredit.com.

01:00:55.000 Let's keep going here through 2014.

01:00:56.000 There was a Pew study that showed NPR was more left-leaning than MSNBC, CNN, BuzzFeed, and Huffington Post.

01:01:04.000 Jeez.

01:01:05.000 God.

01:01:06.000 That's hard to do.

01:01:07.000 14 reasons why.

01:01:08.000 Yes.

01:01:08.000 Post article.

01:01:10.000 Think about that.

01:01:11.000 14 reasons why NPR is more liberal than us.

01:01:12.000 Yes.

01:01:13.000 Think about, and remember that was to go, oh Fox News, Fox News, Fox News.

01:01:15.000 People, people are just buying hook, line, and sinker.

01:01:17.000 What's happening on Fox News?

01:01:18.000 Okay, that's one network.

01:01:21.000 Now here's the thing, Fox News was pretty openly conservative.

01:01:24.000 Okay, now we have NPR.

01:01:26.000 More left-leaning than MSNBC, CNN, BuzzFeed, HuffPost.

01:01:28.000 Okay, Fox News versus MSNBC, CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, BuzzFeed, Huffington Post.

01:01:35.000 And they're complaining about it.

01:01:36.000 And they convinced you that the boogeyman was Fox News.

01:01:39.000 NPR was more left-wing than Fox News, according to this Pew study.

01:01:44.000 They were more extreme than their political extremist boogeyman, who they held out.

01:01:49.000 This is all a lie.

01:01:51.000 In case you need more proof, these headlines, you know, I think the funding matters, I think the history matters, but these headlines are really funny because they're unironic.

01:02:01.000 From NPR?

01:02:02.000 Trans inmates need access to gender-affirming care.

01:02:06.000 Pause!

01:02:10.000 Well, one reason was so they would stop having sex with the female inmates with their male genitalia.

01:02:15.000 They're still going to have sex with the female inmates, Josh.

01:02:17.000 Oh, okay.

01:02:18.000 Just in a different way.

01:02:19.000 Oh.

01:02:19.000 You know, they'll still have a smile on their face.

01:02:21.000 Send me a strap-on.

01:02:23.000 Trans inmates need access to gender-affirming care.

01:02:27.000 I'm going to continue with more headlines, but let's go through this just for a moment.

01:02:30.000 Okay, so you have NPR.

01:02:32.000 You have public broadcasting who declare themselves a need of the public.

01:02:37.000 We start with the legitimate role of government.

01:02:39.000 Just put yourself really quickly.

01:02:40.000 Okay?

01:02:40.000 Time warp.

01:02:41.000 Let's go back to Washington, Jefferson, Adamans.

01:02:44.000 I hereby answer you.

01:02:45.000 What do you believe is the legitimate role of government, sir?

01:02:48.000 Well, it is Well, we need public broadcasting.

01:02:53.000 I don't know, 500 million should do the trick.

01:02:55.000 And it is the role of the government to ensure that trans inmates have access to gender-affirming care and it is reported by said public broadcasting.

01:03:04.000 Even in these lean times of recession, we must keep in mind the necessity of legitimate government, you know.

01:03:12.000 At what point do you say, okay, if you can't cut this shit from the government, you can't cut shit!

01:03:19.000 You can't cut a broadcasting wing that is pushing for, by the way, policy, meaning your taxpayer dollars.

01:03:27.000 Who do you think pays for these prisons?

01:03:28.000 Who do you think is going to pay for gender-affirming care for trans inmates?

01:03:32.000 We are so far off the beam.

01:03:35.000 Let me read you some other headlines.

01:03:39.000 Transitioning from Jack to Jackie.

01:03:42.000 You're evil!

01:03:43.000 You're evil, NPR!

01:03:45.000 You are evil!

01:03:47.000 You have to think one of the other founders would have piped up, oh please, do say, what is gender-affirming care, sir?

01:03:52.000 Yes, well... And you'd have to describe it.

01:03:55.000 Let me ask you, Mr. Adams, which one, what, me?

01:03:57.000 No, I'm talking to your brother.

01:03:58.000 Um...

01:03:59.000 Ah, what are your thoughts on...

01:04:07.000 Yes!

01:04:08.000 Hear, hear!

01:04:09.000 Now what are your thoughts on chicks with dicks?

01:04:14.000 There's no choice!

01:04:15.000 No, come on.

01:04:16.000 They would definitely be for letting three-year-olds cut off their thing when they just found it.

01:04:23.000 Three-year-olds already got a job feeding the chickens.

01:04:27.000 They switched their entire morning beverage from tea to coffee because of a tax!

01:04:34.000 You think they'd want NPR to be funded to the tune of $500 million so they could put out propaganda that three-year-olds can transition?

01:04:45.000 Here's another one.

01:04:46.000 Thinking about non-monogamous relationships.

01:04:49.000 A beginner's guide.

01:04:50.000 How about the end guide?

01:04:53.000 Which is, don't do it!

01:04:56.000 It sounds like this headline was written by, like, vampires.

01:04:59.000 Yes!

01:05:01.000 Thinking about orpheus and living forever?

01:05:03.000 It's the lost lady boys!

01:05:03.000 Cult leaders.

01:05:09.000 There is no neutral.

01:05:11.000 Nice white people can still be complicit in a racist society.

01:05:14.000 Oh, isn't that brilliant?

01:05:16.000 Using government funding for the propaganda to make no one can disprove it because you can't disprove a negative like this.

01:05:23.000 Look, you are still complicit in a racist society.

01:05:25.000 Well, hold on a second.

01:05:26.000 I don't think I am.

01:05:27.000 I have a black adoptive child and you wouldn't know!

01:05:31.000 You'd have no way of knowing.

01:05:32.000 Take my word for it because we get 500 million dollars from the government to tell you that.

01:05:36.000 Well, checkmate.

01:05:38.000 Plus, it was written by a white person, so you can trust it.

01:05:40.000 Yes, exactly.

01:05:42.000 And to prove that they don't care about meritocracies at all, remember they tried to get their hooks in AM Radio?

01:05:46.000 They couldn't pull an audience, and they thought it was unfair.

01:05:46.000 Yeah.

01:05:49.000 Yep, the left.

01:05:50.000 Well, because what they did is they said, AM Radio said, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, we need the fairness, we need to provide equal time, as though NPR was neutral, right?

01:05:58.000 Now, if you actually looked at it, it was disproportionate time to NPR and all the other news outlets, just like you saw with MSNBC, CNN, right?

01:06:07.000 NPR.

01:06:08.000 They are one and the same, but they point to Fox News.

01:06:10.000 They vilify you for being open about your point of view.

01:06:13.000 They lie about it.

01:06:14.000 I don't care if you're left.

01:06:16.000 I don't care if you're... Just don't lie about it.

01:06:17.000 NPR has been lying.

01:06:20.000 For about half a century at this point.

01:06:22.000 AM radio was dead.

01:06:22.000 There was nothing happening there.

01:06:24.000 That landscape was over and conservatives built it back up to the tune of many, many, many millions in that audience.

01:06:30.000 Rush is really responsible for it.

01:06:31.000 They couldn't stand to see one person with a dissenting point of view.

01:06:35.000 Hey, he took a dead medium, Rush Limbaugh, and he made it something entirely by himself at that moment in time.

01:06:42.000 If you can't handle that, oh that's right, it's Pravda.

01:06:45.000 You want to completely eliminate political opposition.

01:06:48.000 This brings us to the new CEO that Berliner was complaining about.

01:06:51.000 And by the way, first off, before I go through any of this, shout out to Chris Ruffo who has done an unbelievable amount of legwork on this.

01:06:58.000 I think you can follow him on X at RealChrisRuffo.

01:07:01.000 He did digging through social media, found some old clips, TED Talks, so I know a lot of people are sort of sharing these clips.

01:07:07.000 And then uploading their own watermarks to it.

01:07:11.000 I want Mr. Rufo to know that we recognize the amount of work that he's done and we appreciate it.

01:07:14.000 So here's the new CEO is Catherine Marr, right, for NPR.

01:07:18.000 Now, what is she?

01:07:19.000 She's from a wealthy family.

01:07:20.000 She has multiple university degrees.

01:07:21.000 Of course, board seats on a bunch of nonprofits and she was at Wikimedia, which is associated there with Wikipedia.

01:07:27.000 So let's look at what she believes.

01:07:30.000 In complaining about the criticism, right, from this man, he writes a column saying, hey, I think that we've gone around the bend here, there's no intellectual diversity, I think that NPR is becoming relatively extreme.

01:07:40.000 She says, I can't, her response is, you know, as a weak woman would, not all women, this is a weak woman, when a woman goes, just because of identity?

01:07:48.000 How dare you?

01:07:50.000 Oh, that's, you hear that?

01:07:51.000 That's the sound of not having an argument.

01:07:52.000 Don't care about your tits.

01:07:54.000 So, what beliefs does this woman hold, CEO of NPR, that gets $500 million in government funding?

01:08:00.000 Well, she thinks that the First Amendment is a challenge to policing speech.

01:08:06.000 The number one challenge here that we see is, of course, the First Amendment in the United States is a fairly robust protection of rights, and that is a protection of rights both for platforms, which I actually think is very important that platforms have those rights, To be able to regulate what kind of content they want on their sites, but it also means that it is a little bit tricky to really address some of the real challenges of where does bad information come from and sort of the influence peddlers who have made a real market economy around.

01:08:37.000 Now keep in mind, this brave woman, this brave woman who speaks truth to power, this First Amendment makes it challenging to find out where misinformation comes from.

01:08:45.000 She said bad information, she did not say misinformation.

01:08:47.000 She said bad information, which means not good, not mine.

01:08:50.000 Right, exactly.

01:08:51.000 We have some very clear examples of that when she was at Wikimedia.

01:08:53.000 For example, bad information was coming from whistleblowers in China who disappeared forever.

01:09:00.000 When they said, this didn't come from someone eating a bat sandwich, it came from a lab named Preemptively.

01:09:08.000 After the virus.

01:09:10.000 Before the virus.

01:09:11.000 And who did she go to?

01:09:12.000 Well, yeah, I know I said preemptively.

01:09:13.000 I'm kind of a minority reporting it.

01:09:16.000 She said, no, no, and we had to get rid of this.

01:09:18.000 And who did she consult with?

01:09:20.000 The government.

01:09:21.000 No vested interest in ensuring that you don't know of their lie to you, or let's remove lie, that they were wrong.

01:09:29.000 Government came out, official line was, came from a wet market, bats.

01:09:32.000 He had people in China saying, no it didn't.

01:09:34.000 He had scientists saying, no it didn't.

01:09:36.000 When this woman was there at Wikimedia during COVID, she made sure that was disinformation.

01:09:41.000 Why?

01:09:42.000 Consulted with the government.

01:09:43.000 Thank God, with the government and the funding, you can bypass that challenging First Amendment.

01:09:47.000 Which government?

01:09:48.000 Because I think Donald Trump was president at that time.

01:09:50.000 Yes, she was.

01:09:51.000 Well, she did it before and then after Donald Trump.

01:09:53.000 And at that point, you're not dealing with Donald Trump, right?

01:09:55.000 You're dealing with the Fauci's of the world.

01:09:55.000 That's the swamp.

01:09:57.000 You're dealing with the CDC.

01:09:58.000 The Deep State, I was told, did not exist.

01:09:59.000 Yes, did not exist.

01:10:00.000 The WHO, who don't acknowledge that Taiwan even exists.

01:10:03.000 It's a figment of your imagination.

01:10:05.000 That's how you determine what is objective.

01:10:06.000 And, of course, who's paying you.

01:10:09.000 We'll get to Donald Trump in a second because, boy, does it make it clear when you look at just the political candidates.

01:10:13.000 Here's another one of her points of view.

01:10:15.000 All references available at lateralwithcredit.com, unless you think that I'm not including context.

01:10:19.000 She sees the truth.

01:10:20.000 Now, some people have said that journalism is the pursuit of truth.

01:10:25.000 Well, the good news is NPR What?

01:10:27.000 sees the truth as a distraction.

01:10:29.000 For our most tricky disagreements, seeking the truth and seeking to convince others of the

01:10:36.000 truth might not be the right place to start.

01:10:40.000 In fact, our reverence for the truth might be a distraction that's getting in the way

01:10:48.000 of finding common ground and getting things done.

01:10:51.000 We acknowledge there are many different truths.

01:10:54.000 And so in the spirit of that, I'm certain that the truth exists for you.

01:10:59.000 And probably for the person sitting next to you.

01:11:03.000 But this may not be the same truth.

01:11:06.000 I am sorry for what I'm about to say.

01:11:12.000 I don't like her.

01:11:15.000 And this is the beauty of what the left does.

01:11:17.000 And I will say this, it's kind of like the greatest trick the devil's ever pulled is convincing that he doesn't exist, right?

01:11:22.000 Convincing the world he doesn't exist.

01:11:23.000 That's what the left does with their biases.

01:11:26.000 And they start with something foundational that unfortunately people want to embrace because it's a Hallmark card and it sounds good.

01:11:33.000 I'm sure you have many truths.

01:11:34.000 Nope!

01:11:35.000 That's wrong.

01:11:36.000 I was watching Dirty Dancing a while ago, and at one point the girl, not Juliette Lewis, but... You're gonna let that slide?

01:11:44.000 Okay.

01:11:45.000 Alright.

01:11:45.000 Watching Dirty Dancing.

01:11:46.000 I like an underdog story.

01:11:47.000 Okay.

01:11:51.000 Plus, you never took me to the Catskills.

01:11:53.000 How else am I going to see the weirdest-looking people in America?

01:11:53.000 That's right.

01:11:57.000 Well, she says to her dad... We all look like Jackie Basin.

01:11:59.000 I don't know why that is.

01:12:00.000 Or Milton Berle, yeah, in that movie.

01:12:01.000 Do you remember in that part of the Declaration of Independence, or was it the Declaration of Independence, or was it the preamble, where they say, we hold many truths to be self-made up?

01:12:14.000 I don't remember which document that is, but somebody can probably help me.

01:12:17.000 You know the thing.

01:12:18.000 Well, she starts with that.

01:12:19.000 Many of you, you know, you all have different truths.

01:12:21.000 Okay, I'll bring this.

01:12:22.000 This is foundational to where we are now, where you go, how did we go this far?

01:12:25.000 I was watching Dirty Dancing, and she says to her dad, when he's upset about her doing something, she says, you're my dad, and if you love me, you have to love all of me.

01:12:34.000 Wrong.

01:12:35.000 Wrong.

01:12:36.000 That's one of the most corrosive ideas that we see in today's society.

01:12:42.000 What does that mean?

01:12:42.000 Hey, if you love someone... Hey, women, you love a man, okay?

01:12:46.000 But he doesn't shower much.

01:12:47.000 Do you have to love that about him?

01:12:49.000 Or do you tell him, get your ass in the shower?

01:12:51.000 Get your ass in the shower.

01:12:52.000 The idea that if you don't love everything about me, you don't love me.

01:12:55.000 What is that actually saying?

01:12:56.000 I'm perfect.

01:12:57.000 There's no need for self-improvement.

01:12:59.000 I am God.

01:13:00.000 I've put myself on the altar.

01:13:02.000 I'm perfect.

01:13:03.000 I'm God.

01:13:03.000 You better accept it or you don't love me and I'll get the rest of the world to love me.

01:13:07.000 I'm perfect the way I am.

01:13:08.000 You are not perfect the way you are.

01:13:10.000 You are flawed.

01:13:11.000 You are sinful.

01:13:12.000 And by the way, you are to improve yourself every single day.

01:13:17.000 That's what you are called to do as a human being.

01:13:19.000 Same thing here.

01:13:20.000 We have many truths.

01:13:21.000 No, you don't.

01:13:22.000 No, you don't.

01:13:22.000 There is objective truth.

01:13:24.000 Now, there's a process, that's why we use the Socratic method here, to try and get to the truth, and sometimes that's difficult.

01:13:29.000 Especially in the modern era of statistics, and yes, fake news.

01:13:32.000 But we do have to start foundationally with, there is truth, and that's what we are seeking.

01:13:37.000 When you start off with, well, any truth can be just as true, that's how you go to what?

01:13:44.000 And children can transition because their truth is they believe that they're a girl.

01:13:48.000 And you see headlines from NPR about three-year-old Jack turning into Jackie.

01:13:51.000 You want to know where it starts?

01:13:53.000 Let me tell you where it starts as far as abortion all the way up until and including birth period.

01:13:57.000 If you love me as a woman, you love all of me and everything about me.

01:14:01.000 Lie.

01:14:02.000 Correct it there.

01:14:03.000 You know what?

01:14:04.000 Truth is subjective.

01:14:05.000 Lie.

01:14:06.000 You address it there and start fighting like hell at that point, guess what?

01:14:10.000 You don't get to three, six, eight-year-olds transitioning, or babies being left in waste paper baskets who've survived abortions.

01:14:18.000 Or, you don't get to $500 million in funding for Propaganda broadcasting like NPR so that they can get your children to transition and actively lobby for that kind of policy.

01:14:29.000 You don't get that far if you say, no, no, wait, there's a legitimate role of government, that's beyond it.

01:14:33.000 No, no, wait, you're not perfect, you have a lot of flaws.

01:14:36.000 No, no, wait, there is objective truth.

01:14:37.000 They are brilliant in laying down these foundational, just these cliches, these catchphrases that people accept.

01:14:46.000 And I see conservatives accept them because it makes them feel good in the moment.

01:14:49.000 It's evil.

01:14:50.000 I'm perfect the way I am?

01:14:51.000 That's evil.

01:14:52.000 There is.

01:14:53.000 Everyone's truth is equal.

01:14:54.000 Sounds good.

01:14:54.000 That is evil.

01:14:55.000 You believe it, you're following evil.

01:14:58.000 Here's another example of what she believes.

01:15:00.000 She says, free and open knowledge.

01:15:02.000 Actually, and this is brilliant because it also is foundational in ensuring that they never have to debate their ideas.

01:15:08.000 Free open knowledge, open discussion, it actually reinforces racist power structures.

01:15:13.000 I have come to the opinion and the perspective that free and open was a way of looking at the world that was inherently limited relative to what we were trying to achieve.

01:15:23.000 Free and open has the best of intentionality, but in the end, what free and open often ended up doing, particularly in the case of Wikipedia, was really recapitulating many of the same power structures and dynamics that exist offline prior to the advent of the internet.

01:15:39.000 Talk about useless word salad from a useless person.

01:15:43.000 While still holding the idea that she is smarter than everybody in every room.

01:15:47.000 I know.

01:15:48.000 For sure.

01:15:49.000 You know how you know?

01:15:49.000 I know.

01:15:51.000 Because they want to be able to talk down to everybody and go, like, you guys, you can't handle the truth.

01:15:54.000 Right.

01:15:56.000 We should have the truth.

01:15:59.000 Don't seek it.

01:15:59.000 It's a distraction.

01:16:00.000 Yeah.

01:16:01.000 You simple-minded, dumb, idiot Americans.

01:16:04.000 Let us tell you our truth.

01:16:04.000 You can't handle it.

01:16:07.000 Yes, we are the arbiters of truth.

01:16:07.000 Yes.

01:16:08.000 And by the way... And they like this?

01:16:11.000 Yeah.

01:16:12.000 You want to be insulted like that on a daily basis by a condescending bitch like this?

01:16:12.000 They want this?

01:16:18.000 No, it's completely called for.

01:16:19.000 And talk about privilege.

01:16:20.000 Did you see that resume?

01:16:21.000 Yeah, I know.

01:16:22.000 My goodness.

01:16:23.000 Talk about privilege.

01:16:24.000 Starting on third base.

01:16:26.000 And by the way, we're looking out for you.

01:16:28.000 We're going to make you aware of the corrupt corporate interests in media.

01:16:33.000 500 mil, the taxpayer?

01:16:34.000 Yeah.

01:16:35.000 No, we don't have any strings attached.

01:16:36.000 Hey, we need people like this show deplatformed.

01:16:40.000 That's why they've actually gone after Mug Club.

01:16:43.000 We rely on your support.

01:16:44.000 They want to eliminate your ability to support the kind of content creators that you want.

01:16:47.000 Why?

01:16:48.000 Because only they should exist.

01:16:51.000 $500 million in government funding.

01:16:53.000 And let's go to her Twitter.

01:16:54.000 It's just all so hilarious.

01:16:55.000 Like, I thought maybe this was sort of a Borat thing for an unlikable feminist.

01:17:01.000 Because these are her actual tweets.

01:17:03.000 We make the references available.

01:17:05.000 The nice thing is I'm a woman, so, quote, venture capitalist.

01:17:09.000 Twitter will ignore me entirely, so!

01:17:12.000 So!

01:17:13.000 So she literally writes like, so!

01:17:13.000 Exclamation mark.

01:17:17.000 Wow.

01:17:17.000 America is addicted to white supremacy and that's the real issue.

01:17:21.000 Oh, that's the real issue, Catherine.

01:17:23.000 While you sit on your pedestal of supremacist... Why did she write it all in parentheses?

01:17:30.000 Why did she dot her eyes with hearts?

01:17:33.000 Is she quoting someone?

01:17:34.000 She's adorable.

01:17:35.000 That's white supremacy.

01:17:37.000 Well, not only, she didn't say that, hey, there's maybe some systemic racism.

01:17:40.000 She said, America is addicted to white supremacy and that is not a real issue.

01:17:46.000 Not an issue.

01:17:47.000 That is THE real issue.

01:17:50.000 Good thing she sits on a pedestal of 500 million dollars in government funding, because a lot of you Americans may think that the real issue is, I don't know, the ability to feed your family, the ability to make decisions on your own, the ability to read the kind of content and pursue the truth in a way that is unbiased.

01:18:07.000 You know, your First Amendment rights, your Second Amendment rights, record inflation.

01:18:07.000 Freedom!

01:18:11.000 You may think that those are some of the real issues.

01:18:14.000 No, there's only one Real issue.

01:18:16.000 The real issue.

01:18:17.000 And that is not white supremacy.

01:18:18.000 It's America's addiction to white supremacy.

01:18:20.000 If you question it, good luck because she'll work hand-in-hand with the government and big tech to have you silenced.

01:18:25.000 Here's another one.

01:18:26.000 Airline business class demographics are such a pet peeve of mine.

01:18:30.000 In the lounge and on... First off, that means the bitch was in the lounge.

01:18:35.000 Yeah, I know.

01:18:37.000 Every bit of this is her being inside, just because you have racism.

01:18:40.000 Just because you're addicted to meth doesn't mean everyone's addicted to meth.

01:18:44.000 Airline business class demographics are such a pet peeve of mine.

01:18:49.000 By the way, I go in there with gym shorts and a t-shirt with stains on it.

01:18:52.000 Nice!

01:18:52.000 And I use their showers.

01:18:53.000 I paid for it.

01:18:54.000 It's $500.

01:18:55.000 Anyone can pay for it.

01:18:55.000 It's $500.

01:18:56.000 Good for you, as you should.

01:18:57.000 Their curtain's not going to stop you.

01:18:59.000 I'm a scumbag.

01:18:59.000 I'm in there too, baby.

01:19:00.000 It's not a force field.

01:19:02.000 There are no plasma cannons.

01:19:03.000 Oh, there's a curtain.

01:19:04.000 I'm taking a dump.

01:19:08.000 Talk about privilege.

01:19:09.000 Airline business class demographics are such a pet peeve of mine.

01:19:13.000 I get it.

01:19:13.000 Oh, okay.

01:19:14.000 You're talking about the stresses that come with air travel.

01:19:17.000 For most Americans, not you, their pet peeve is being shuttled like cattle to the back of coach where they have a beautiful view overlooking the stall and have to avoid a flurry of Spirit Airlines slash world star hip-hop fists.

01:19:32.000 I'm so sorry that the Amex Black Lounge was so rude to you in the lounge and on the plane.

01:19:39.000 Usually 80% male, usually white.

01:19:42.000 That's not true.

01:19:43.000 The lounge is full of people that are not male and white.

01:19:46.000 They work at the bar or they refill the eggs.

01:19:51.000 Or they're her.

01:19:52.000 I'm kidding.

01:19:52.000 But seriously, do you think that airlines are going, no, you can't buy this ticket.

01:19:59.000 Right.

01:20:00.000 No!

01:20:00.000 They just want your money.

01:20:01.000 They don't care what you're white or male or... It's just, but that's her pet peeve.

01:20:04.000 That's what really gets her goat.

01:20:06.000 Hey, go ask a goat farmer what gets his goat.

01:20:09.000 Maybe you'll learn about your privilege.

01:20:10.000 Yeah.

01:20:11.000 Such a limousine liberal.

01:20:12.000 I know.

01:20:13.000 Oh my god, it's... She also tweeted this.

01:20:16.000 That COVID bivalent booster is a marvel and I'm so glad, so damn glad I know I'm going to feel better tomorrow.

01:20:23.000 So we also know that she has no idea how fucking boosters work!

01:20:29.000 Even the people selling them don't say, well the good news is you're going to feel right as rain tomorrow.

01:20:34.000 The best case scenario that they're going to give you outside of you might feel a little bit off for a couple of days is, I don't know, I think you'll probably be alright.

01:20:42.000 No one is telling you that you're going to feel better from a booster.

01:20:45.000 But, no one can tell her that because she, remember, she's established.

01:20:49.000 She knows how therapeutics work.

01:20:51.000 Yeah, I don't think she does.

01:20:52.000 I think what she's really upset about is that she doesn't get to see these minorities.

01:20:55.000 She wants to see them like they're zoo animals or something.

01:20:57.000 She's like, put them on display for me in the lounge, in the business class.

01:21:01.000 Lady, if you want to see some black people, just go to McDonald's.

01:21:03.000 There's one in every airport, I promise.

01:21:06.000 Oh my word.

01:21:07.000 She's going to get that fascinated by you, racist hag.

01:21:09.000 Yes.

01:21:10.000 But these poor folks that donate to get their tote bag, and if they just knew that she makes, I think it's $6.50 a year plus, and 93% of Yeah, I don't know.

01:21:10.000 Sorry.

01:21:27.000 You'd probably see a lot less coming in from white people, considering that you said they are addicted to white supremacy and they are the real issue and you don't want them in airport lounges.

01:21:37.000 I don't know how many of them are donating to NPR, but I'm willing to bet that if I go to Spanish Harlem, I'm not going to find a very long donor list.

01:21:47.000 Here she is declaring her support for Democrats and, of course, against Donald Trump repeatedly on Twitter.

01:21:53.000 But let me just lay this out for you here because, again, I just don't want you to miss the point and think that, oh man, journalism has gotten bad.

01:22:01.000 There's never been objective journalism in this country.

01:22:01.000 No!

01:22:04.000 And even if you want to make the argument, certainly not NPR.

01:22:08.000 NPR is an active threat.

01:22:11.000 To your freedom.

01:22:12.000 I'll say that again in case you try to accuse me of being hyperbolic here.

01:22:17.000 NPR is an active threat to your freedom as an American.

01:22:21.000 Because let's be clear here.

01:22:22.000 She's railing against Donald Trump.

01:22:23.000 I don't know if you know this.

01:22:24.000 Donald Trump actually wanted NPR funding to go to zero.

01:22:28.000 You know, the appropriate amount.

01:22:30.000 So she's actively railing against The candidate for one political party who doesn't believe that NPR is a legitimate role of government.

01:22:42.000 The other party promises to fund them.

01:22:44.000 So what we have is a long and storied history of one party exclusively promising to fund and then funding to the tune of hundreds of millions of dollars public broadcasting who then go out and do the bidding of this party to the tune of 92% if you actually look at their own funding and then if you look at these headlines you look at their political support entirely 100% beholden To the Democrat Party, they purge their company from anyone who has any other type of political persuasion.

01:23:10.000 They eliminate the ability, not only are they not objective and funded by the government, but she told you that free and open dialogue is actually counterproductive.

01:23:19.000 So they now have established that, hold on a second, we have the cover of government, sorry, the Democratic Party, to ensure that we never have to debate our ideas.

01:23:26.000 We simply get to spout them from the pulpit because the government approves them and big tech works alongside of us.

01:23:31.000 And I'm going to actively campaign against the party and the man who doesn't want to fund me.

01:23:39.000 They are not kind of incentivized to lie to you.

01:23:43.000 NPR is required.

01:23:46.000 Their business model is predicated.

01:23:48.000 Their spreadsheets are predicated on how they convince you to accept progressivism.

01:23:54.000 And it always has been!

01:23:56.000 That is an active threat.

01:23:58.000 That is an active threat to you, the American public.

01:24:01.000 Even more, it's an active threat to... It really is an active threat to the Democratic Republic that we have here in the United States.

01:24:10.000 That's an active threat to anyone who actually simply wants to present opposing points of view.

01:24:15.000 This is terrifying when you think about it, and they're amidst their death throes, and they're going to get more aggressive, and they're going to have more meetings with the White House press corps, whoever it is, to ensure that you are silenced.

01:24:29.000 And you want to know how this ends up?

01:24:29.000 Think about that.

01:24:30.000 Do you want to know how this ends up?

01:24:32.000 Canada.

01:24:35.000 This is exactly what happened.

01:24:35.000 Canada.

01:24:36.000 Trudeau, son of Adele Castro, promised when he was running When he was running, he promised more funding to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

01:24:47.000 Right?

01:24:47.000 He was running and he said, I'm going to give you more money.

01:24:51.000 And the Conservative Party wanted to reduce, of course, funding to the CBC.

01:24:56.000 Guess who got the favorable coverage from the CBC?

01:24:59.000 Polls shifted.

01:25:01.000 Yes.

01:25:03.000 He got the favorable coverage.

01:25:04.000 He won.

01:25:07.000 Look at Canada right now.

01:25:09.000 The country's in complete disarray.

01:25:10.000 The guy wouldn't be able to get more than 30% of the vote even though he legalized weed across the country and had a bump.

01:25:17.000 People who thought they were liberal have become so disenfranchised right now because they were lied to.

01:25:25.000 But guess what?

01:25:26.000 The damage is done.

01:25:27.000 It's too late right now for Canada.

01:25:29.000 They can correct course a little bit.

01:25:31.000 But not enough.

01:25:33.000 You want to know how it ends up if a place like NPR isn't defunded?

01:25:37.000 PBS?

01:25:38.000 You end up with Canada.

01:25:40.000 It's the closest example that you can have to the United States, and nothing is going well there right now.

01:25:47.000 You can look at their housing crisis.

01:25:49.000 You can look at the healthcare system, which by the way, of course NPR has pushed for socialized healthcare.

01:25:53.000 Let's look at every single policy.

01:25:54.000 Socialized healthcare?

01:25:55.000 NPR's pushed for it.

01:25:57.000 Increased tax?

01:25:58.000 NPR's pushed for it.

01:26:00.000 Rescinding the Bush tax cuts?

01:26:01.000 NPR's pushed for it.

01:26:02.000 Hyatt corporate tax?

01:26:04.000 NPR's pushed for it.

01:26:06.000 Sandra Fluke, remember that?

01:26:07.000 Free birth control?

01:26:08.000 NPR's pushed for it.

01:26:09.000 Remember Hobby Lobby provided only, I believe, 16 out of 21 forms of birth control?

01:26:14.000 But from their religious viewpoint, they had a crisis of conscience and wouldn't provide the remaining three or four.

01:26:19.000 Don't quote me on that.

01:26:20.000 It was somewhere around there.

01:26:21.000 NPR talked about them being corrupt.

01:26:23.000 NPR talked about it being fascism.

01:26:25.000 Hey, the election?

01:26:27.000 Russia collusion hoax?

01:26:28.000 NPR pushed for it.

01:26:29.000 Suppressing the Hunter Biden laptop?

01:26:31.000 NPR pushed for it.

01:26:33.000 The questioning election results should be impermissible on social media?

01:26:37.000 NPR pushed for it.

01:26:38.000 COVID maybe came from a lab?

01:26:40.000 Nope, can't talk about that.

01:26:41.000 It only came from a bat.

01:26:43.000 A bat sandwich.

01:26:44.000 NPR pushed for it.

01:26:45.000 Lockdowns maybe don't work?

01:26:47.000 Nah, lockdowns are the way to go.

01:26:49.000 NPR pushed for it.

01:26:50.000 Hey, the vaccines, well first off when Donald Trump was president, Operation Warp Speed, would you take the vaccine if the vaccine came out when Donald Trump was president?

01:26:57.000 Just like Kamala Harris, Joe Biden, absolutely I would not take it.

01:27:00.000 NPR pushed for it.

01:27:02.000 Then when it was made available and Joe Biden was, you know, You know, the former vice president sitting in office saying, you need to get vaccines, you need to get boosters.

01:27:08.000 NPR pushed for it.

01:27:09.000 Wait a second, the VAERS system has seen more complications than we've seen at any point in our lifetime?

01:27:13.000 Hold on a second, could there be more complications with experimental mRNA injection?

01:27:17.000 No, no, no, no, no.

01:27:18.000 It's safe, it's been tested, even though it hasn't.

01:27:20.000 NPR pushed for it.

01:27:21.000 Seeing record number of men under the age of 30 with myocarditis?

01:27:24.000 No, let's silence it.

01:27:25.000 Sorry, I misspoke.

01:27:26.000 for it, change the algorithm so that people don't become more radicalized.
