Louder with Crowder - 🔴Trump & Big Balls are Coming for Washington: What it Means to Federalize DC

00:01:43.000 I want to point out first that I'm very happy to be here this evening.

00:02:21.000 Thank you.

00:03:20.000 Welcome to the lineup live on Rumble.

00:03:22.000 That's 9 a.m. Eastern to 7 p.m.

00:03:24.000 Eastern.

00:03:25.000 You don't need to change that dial.

00:03:26.000 You got me.

00:03:26.000 Then after you're going to have Tim Poole, Russell Brand, Jeremy Coring, you're going to have Nick DiPaolo.

00:03:30.000 You're going to have Andrew Wilson.

00:03:32.000 You don't need to change a dial if you used a dial.

00:03:34.000 Welcome, viewers of Bongino Army from Vince.

00:03:36.000 We appreciate it.

00:03:37.000 We're not doing the Latin thing anymore.

00:03:38.000 Somalia has Starlink.

00:03:40.000 WNBA sucks. 1.00

00:03:41.000 And I don't know if you know this, but Washington, D.C., hey, the report card is in.

00:03:46.000 It's terrible.

00:03:47.000 The policies from the left have led to people, including Big Balls from Doge, by the way, prayers with him for his recovery, getting the crap beaten out of them, getting murdered in record numbers.

00:03:56.000 And it's time to federalize Washington, D.C., which is kind of weird as it exists as this municipality, but I haven't really followed local politics there much since the mayor was caught doing crack with prostitutes.

00:04:09.000 On with the show.

00:04:24.000 So, William, thank you for coming.

00:04:26.000 Gay William.

00:04:27.000 I'm sorry, Gay William. 0.83

00:04:28.000 Thank you for coming to my office today.

00:04:33.000 It's fabulous.

00:04:34.000 Minimalists.

00:04:35.000 It's masculine. 0.89

00:04:36.000 I like it.

00:04:37.000 Thank you so much.

00:04:37.000 You know, you pick up a tchotchki here.

00:04:39.000 Yeah, why am I here?

00:04:41.000 Well, the reason I brought you here is because we've received several complaints from staffers that you've been heavily disparaging Puerto Ricans in Puerto Rico.

00:04:49.000 And I think that this is out of character for you.

00:04:52.000 It's very self-deprecating.

00:04:53.000 Self-deprecating?

00:04:54.000 Hold on a second.

00:04:55.000 I'm not Puerto Rican.

00:04:56.000 But, you know, on the show, Steven says all the time, you keep my Steven's name out of your damn mouth.

00:05:02.000 William Kalen.

00:05:03.000 Okay, thank you for sitting back down.

00:05:04.000 And I'm sorry.

00:05:06.000 I think we got off on the wrong foot there.

00:05:07.000 So you're telling me that you're not from Puerto Rico.

00:05:10.000 Do I look stupid and ugly?

00:05:12.000 No, no, no, no, not at all.

00:05:13.000 I just, you're not from the island of Puerto Rico, then I just want to make sure.

00:05:17.000 Call me Puerto Rican one more time, Samuel, and I swear to God.

00:05:23.000 So you're not from that island.

00:05:25.000 You're from a. 0.90

00:05:26.000 Correct.

00:05:26.000 I'm Cuban.

00:05:27.000 I'm not a murderer, and I'm not Ricky Martin.

00:05:30.000 Okay.

00:05:32.000 Well, the point I made still stands.

00:05:34.000 You can't just disparage an entire island of people who've made a very important contribution.

00:05:39.000 Name one.

00:05:41.000 Jennifer Lopez?

00:05:43.000 Pig.

00:05:44.000 You mentioned Ricky Martin.

00:05:46.000 Sucker.

00:05:46.000 Okay.

00:05:48.000 Shakira?

00:05:48.000 Ah, Puerto Rico wishes.

00:05:50.000 Five or six million people.

00:05:51.000 I'm sure there's someone else who's important.

00:05:52.000 Five or six million stewed people.

00:05:54.000 Okay, well.

00:05:55.000 Are you Jewish?

00:05:56.000 Yes, yes, I am.

00:05:58.000 Sam, Sammy, Samuel.

00:06:00.000 You wouldn't rate Nel Brooks over the cold for a joke, would you?

00:06:03.000 Oh, absolutely not.

00:06:04.000 He's a national treasure.

00:06:06.000 So those comments you said earlier were all made in just then, right?

00:06:10.000 Serious as a heart attack.

00:06:11.000 Puerto Ricans are the worst. 1.00

00:06:13.000 But let me be the first to say your suit is fabulous.

00:06:17.000 Your tailor needs a raise.

00:06:18.000 Alright, who's the snitching Puerto Rican lover out here in that f***ing suit? 1.00

00:06:42.000 *Music* You're a strange

00:06:58.000 animal, that's what I know.

00:07:00.000 You're a strange animal, I've got to fall.

00:07:07.000 *Music*

00:07:22.000 Look, I'm glad to be with you, but I'm not glad.

00:07:26.000 Why, Stephen?

00:07:26.000 It's International Ripoff Crowder Day.

00:07:30.000 Got the wrong orders that we ordered online.

00:07:32.000 My tire warranty thing.

00:07:34.000 You know what that I don't want to name names because they have a chance to make it right, but 4,000 miles and they're bald.

00:07:42.000 And they're bald.

00:07:43.000 I told you about this, right?

00:07:44.000 I'll tell you this story: the tire place.

00:07:46.000 Tire place.

00:07:47.000 They screw you at the tires.

00:07:48.000 It's a 40,000 tire warranty.

00:07:49.000 I replaced tires in January and then took it back and they're like, oh, we can't because you drove 12,000 miles.

00:07:54.000 I'm like, what?

00:07:55.000 There's no possible way.

00:07:56.000 I drove 4,000.

00:07:57.000 You shot most of that time.

00:07:58.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:07:59.000 And then I have a receipt from the oil change and from the dealership.

00:08:01.000 I'm like, you literally reduced my by 3,000 miles.

00:08:06.000 There's no way.

00:08:07.000 You just, you wrote down an eight as a zero.

00:08:09.000 You're like, oh, I don't know.

00:08:10.000 We'll have to look at our machine.

00:08:11.000 It's like, it sounds like you're trying to screw me.

00:08:12.000 Anyway.

00:08:14.000 Anyway, all right.

00:08:15.000 It's the principle of the matter.

00:08:16.000 It's a principle.

00:08:17.000 You don't have a platform to talk about this.

00:08:19.000 Yeah.

00:08:19.000 I'm not going to name it.

00:08:20.000 They have a chance to make things right.

00:08:21.000 They have a chance to make things right.

00:08:22.000 But they're trying to say that they don't have to the warranty.

00:08:25.000 Like, you didn't come get an alignment at 5,000.

00:08:27.000 No, I'm doing it at 4,000 miles, dummy.

00:08:29.000 All right.

00:08:30.000 Question: Should we federalize DC?

00:08:33.000 You know, let me ask you, should I name this tire place?

00:08:37.000 That's a better question.

00:08:38.000 Should I name the tire place?

00:08:40.000 Look, Feierstein Tires has a good reputation.

00:08:43.000 I won't have you sully our name.

00:08:45.000 We wrote the right number.

00:08:46.000 The finest in Schenectady, sir.

00:08:48.000 All right.

00:08:49.000 Gerald, Captain Morgan, CEO.

00:08:50.000 You doing well?

00:08:51.000 I'm doing better than you.

00:08:52.000 Well, it's just, you know, like, is this the thing that bothers you?

00:08:55.000 Like, you can go through traumatic events, but what really causes you to snap is when it's a universal language.

00:08:59.000 Someone's Screwing you.

00:09:01.000 Yes.

00:09:01.000 And you're like, hey, I'm not trying to do anything wrong here.

00:09:04.000 I just, I drove 4,000, and my tires are bald.

00:09:08.000 Can you do the right thing?

00:09:10.000 No?

00:09:11.000 Now I have to kill all of you.

00:09:14.000 Name that movie line.

00:09:15.000 And Friday, Saturday, August 22nd.

00:09:18.000 Not a real threat.

00:09:18.000 I'm not going to hurt anybody.

00:09:19.000 22nd, 23rd at Helium Comedy Club in Portland, Oregon.

00:09:22.000 Go support live comedy.

00:09:23.000 Go watch him very funny man.

00:09:24.000 Josh Feierstein.

00:09:26.000 How is your penis?

00:09:29.000 Well, Gerald, it's doing quite nicely, actually.

00:09:32.000 Oh, don't encourage him.

00:09:34.000 What a weird question to ask me right off the top of the show, Gerald.

00:09:39.000 Where'd you get this guy?

00:09:40.000 I don't know.

00:09:42.000 AI.

00:09:42.000 I found him.

00:09:43.000 That's not AI.

00:09:46.000 That was clearly you, Gerald.

00:09:47.000 I don't even know why.

00:09:50.000 You know, I don't want to, but if I have to, if I'm contractually obligated, I will show you.

00:09:56.000 No, you're not.

00:09:58.000 I'll reread it.

00:09:58.000 No, I'm not going to.

00:09:59.000 I'll just show you.

00:09:59.000 No.

00:10:00.000 You're absolutely not expecting.

00:10:01.000 I'm okay with it.

00:10:01.000 No, you're not.

00:10:02.000 But you do not.

00:10:02.000 Because I'm an NDA.

00:10:03.000 You do need to come into my office after 5 miles for an alignment.

00:10:08.000 I'll let you know now it's all the time.

00:10:11.000 Down in the wires.

00:10:12.000 Yes.

00:10:13.000 All right.

00:10:13.000 Context that doesn't make any sense.

00:10:16.000 To palate cleanse.

00:10:18.000 Thanks, Gerald.

00:10:18.000 To palate cleanse.

00:10:19.000 Here's something funny.

00:10:20.000 It's the 80th anniversary of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.

00:10:24.000 Do you say Hiroshima or Hiroshima?

00:10:26.000 Comment below.

00:10:28.000 Of course, this changed the course of history.

00:10:31.000 Some people think that it was a threat and that we shouldn't have done it.

00:10:33.000 Some people think that it actually saved more lives than it lost.

00:10:35.000 We're not going to get into all of that, but to mark this solemn, if funny to some people, not us, occasion, here is a short documentary today in history.

00:10:45.000 On August 6th, 1945, with the payload secure, finally, American forces braced themselves for a day that will be remembered throughout history in taking the most drastic measures possible that would forever alter the course of history.

00:10:59.000 In the direction of this war, Hiroshima and Nagasaki were designated as the first two targets for the atomic bomb.

00:11:07.000 Caught off guard with the wolves closing in, the Japanese emperor was notoriously quoted as responding, direct.

00:11:25.000 Yes.

00:11:26.000 They just found the recordings.

00:11:31.000 I think it's great he said it in English.

00:11:35.000 It's for the American audience.

00:11:40.000 I'm sure he did say that.

00:11:45.000 Are we going to have a moment of silence?

00:11:47.000 Not so much.

00:11:50.000 That's one of those things I get at 4.45 in the morning where I had to pull over.

00:11:54.000 I was laughing last year.

00:11:55.000 You guys let me know if that's just me.

00:11:58.000 That's 80 years ago.

00:11:59.000 Come on.

00:11:59.000 That's my humor encapsulated.

00:12:03.000 All right.

00:12:04.000 Here's another.

00:12:07.000 Japanese guys are pretty cool, though.

00:12:09.000 There they are.

00:12:10.000 We did a joint training thing with them with some shooting at the range, some sniper rifles and stuff.

00:12:15.000 It was really cool.

00:12:16.000 We bonded at lunch over throwing hot dog weenies at each other.

00:12:19.000 That's right.

00:12:19.000 You told me.

00:12:20.000 They do all kinds of weird stuff with hot dogs.

00:12:22.000 It's a big thing there.

00:12:23.000 Is it really?

00:12:24.000 They take hot dogs and they do like, this is like puffer fish, hot dog, or whatever the hell they do.

00:12:28.000 They get it over there.

00:12:29.000 Yeah, they get it.

00:12:30.000 What do they do?

00:12:30.000 Hot dog origami?

00:12:32.000 I have no idea.

00:12:33.000 They get after it.

00:12:33.000 The Japanese, hey, look, Japan should be for the Japanese.

00:12:36.000 You guys preserve your culture.

00:12:38.000 We appreciate it.

00:12:39.000 And you know what?

00:12:39.000 You've gotten a lot of things right.

00:12:41.000 Eventually, hopefully, it becomes a Christian nation and you'll improve the blind spots. 1.00

00:12:45.000 All right.

00:12:46.000 Hey, question for you.

00:12:47.000 And I want to be clear about something.

00:12:50.000 I challenge you to find us ever just going, ah, this person's fat.

00:12:53.000 That's not what this is about.

00:12:55.000 The obesity epidemic in children is a very new thing as far as being this severe.

00:13:00.000 Okay.

00:13:01.000 And so sometimes when you're facing a problem, especially one that not only is currently a burden on our healthcare system, not only do we have the first generation, we're expected to live a shorter lifespan than the previous generation, which really defies all of human history.

00:13:15.000 As far as what we have recorded, you have to ask yourself, okay, why?

00:13:19.000 Why are people, when they have more access to healthy food, more access to information, the ability to exercise, gyms are more affordable than ever, home gyms are more affordable than ever.

00:13:28.000 Why are we living Shorter, why are we more unhealthy?

00:13:32.000 And why, with the information superhighway, are we dumber?

00:13:35.000 Right now, I can't answer the second one, public education.

00:13:39.000 As far as the first one, I have a hunch.

00:13:41.000 Maybe it's because this is the first time in human history where we have been telling everyone, hey, you're healthy at any size.

00:13:49.000 It is all the same.

00:13:50.000 The most important thing is that you feel good about your poor health.

00:13:56.000 You have any kids?

00:13:58.000 Hold on, pause.

00:13:59.000 I can't see this, so yeah, I can read it.

00:14:01.000 So, for those listening, Josh, you can, because the screen's too small for me.

00:14:04.000 All right, Josh, you can read this and let's play.

00:14:08.000 Yes, I genuinely love myself.

00:14:12.000 But aren't you unhealthy?

00:14:14.000 Don't you want to be skinny?

00:14:17.000 Ellipses, I see that.

00:14:20.000 Just because I'm plus size doesn't mean I'm not healthy.

00:14:22.000 Yes, it does.

00:14:23.000 Just get healthy and eat healthy and work out.

00:14:26.000 You'll love yourself.

00:14:27.000 I don't need to be.

00:14:28.000 I don't need to lose weight to genuinely love myself.

00:14:31.000 But you don't look healthy.

00:14:32.000 You are heavily obese.

00:14:34.000 And heavy.

00:14:35.000 Just because I'm heavy doesn't make me unhealthy.

00:14:38.000 Come on.

00:14:43.000 What do you not understand?

00:14:45.000 All of it?

00:14:47.000 Apparently, biology.

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

00:14:49.000 And you know, that would be the response of honest doctors.

00:14:54.000 Well, just because I'm heavy doesn't mean I'm unhealthy.

00:14:56.000 And just because I'm heavier that I'm morbidly obese doesn't mean that I'll have health problems.

00:15:00.000 The doctor would go, I don't understand what you're saying.

00:15:04.000 You want me to just write on the prescription pad, whatever, and give it to you and go on your merry way.

00:15:08.000 What do you want me to do here?

00:15:09.000 Dude, just reading that really made me want to lose weight.

00:15:13.000 It felt like it was me saying it.

00:15:17.000 I was like, just because I'm heavy doesn't mean I'm unhealthy.

00:15:21.000 And again, it's not, hey, she's overweight.

00:15:23.000 No, it's not just that.

00:15:24.000 She's telling all of you and your kids.

00:15:26.000 And by the way, these are the kinds of people who run public education.

00:15:29.000 All sizes are healthy.

00:15:31.000 Let's do away with the presidential fitness test. 0.97

00:15:33.000 Let's do away with standards in the military.

00:15:34.000 Let's just tell everyone the most important thing is to feel good.

00:15:38.000 And by the way, they don't feel good because there's weight in their heart.

00:15:42.000 At one point, their heart's just going to go.

00:15:46.000 That's what's going to happen.

00:15:48.000 So she said this in the video, or was it captioned?

00:15:50.000 She said, I don't need to lose weight.

00:15:52.000 I genuinely love myself.

00:15:54.000 Ah, logical fallacy alert.

00:15:58.000 It's the false dichotomy.

00:16:00.000 Let's be clear.

00:16:01.000 Let's read this.

00:16:02.000 Two choices are presented when more might exist.

00:16:04.000 And the claim is made that one is false and one is true, or one is acceptable and the other is not.

00:16:10.000 No one is saying that you have to hate yourself if you are overweight.

00:16:14.000 You don't have to choose between loving yourself or accepting yourself to whatever degree and becoming healthy.

00:16:21.000 I don't know if you know this, but the healthiest people in the world, the most successful people in the world, can always find room for self-improvement.

00:16:28.000 That used to be our culture here.

00:16:31.000 That was often referred to as American exceptionalism.

00:16:33.000 Now, you have a lot of room, not much room, but you could improve depending on the size of the room.

00:16:41.000 You could improve.

00:16:43.000 No one's saying you have to hate yourself, but you should probably be less than satisfied with the health outcomes.

00:16:49.000 And you certainly should be less than satisfied with those health outcomes for our children.

00:16:54.000 Shouldn't we care about our kids enough to teach them how to live a longer and healthier life? 0.98

00:16:58.000 If your child was sick, if your child had the flu, would you not help them?

00:17:03.000 Would you not treat them?

00:17:04.000 Would you not give them medicine?

00:17:05.000 Would you not get them rest?

00:17:06.000 Would you not bring them chicken soup or whatever it is?

00:17:08.000 But if your child is morbidly obese, the most important thing, if your child, if your child had, I don't know, cancer, progeria, would you say, well, it doesn't matter about the most important thing is just to love yourself.

00:17:18.000 Well, that's a thing.

00:17:19.000 It's not the most important thing.

00:17:20.000 And no one's saying they have to hate themselves.

00:17:22.000 Right.

00:17:22.000 This woman goes by the Catherine Renee on Instagram and has made a whole career off of modeling plus-size hammocks.

00:17:31.000 Here she is getting ready for summer.

00:17:33.000 Are we caring to like the cutout for the two pieces?

00:17:36.000 I love blue is 100% my color.

00:17:38.000 Yes, it is.

00:17:39.000 It's like the ocean.

00:17:41.000 Yeah.

00:17:42.000 Or the sky.

00:17:43.000 Every color.

00:17:44.000 Every single bathing suit I try on is an XXL.

00:17:46.000 I feel like a baddie.

00:17:48.000 Yes.

00:17:50.000 I thought this was so cute, but I didn't know how it was going to look.

00:17:52.000 Cutsy, don't be afraid of the baddest.

00:17:54.000 Like a London bus.

00:17:57.000 Horizontal strides.

00:17:59.000 My body dominates those.

00:18:01.000 Dominates.

00:18:02.000 Okay.

00:18:04.000 I love this one.

00:18:06.000 I love the bootcare.

00:18:07.000 Very pretty.

00:18:08.000 Very sexy.

00:18:09.000 Don't talk, so talk to me.

00:18:11.000 Here's the other thing.

00:18:12.000 First off, by the way, youth obesity has gone up from 2012 to 2021, 9.7% to 19.3%.

00:18:18.000 If we throw around the term epidemic, that's an actual epidemic.

00:18:20.000 Yeah, F you parents.

00:18:21.000 Yeah.

00:18:22.000 That's an actual epidemic, to be clear.

00:18:24.000 Also, 13 different kinds of cancers are directly linked to obesity.

00:18:27.000 We're seeing a rise, for example, in colon cancer in young people, even though tobacco use and alcohol use has gone down.

00:18:32.000 In other words, that's not enough to counterbalance the rampant obesity.

00:18:37.000 It's a serious problem, but something else.

00:18:39.000 Do you remember like when people were really good?

00:18:41.000 Do you remember when we just didn't say, I'm hot, I'm sexy?

00:18:44.000 Yeah.

00:18:44.000 Even good-looking people, it was assumed.

00:18:46.000 It was poor form to go, aren't I hot?

00:18:49.000 Aren't I sexy?

00:18:50.000 But these people now have come and deared it to, aren't I?

00:18:52.000 And it's a load, it's a trick question.

00:18:54.000 Aren't I hot?

00:18:55.000 Aren't I sexy?

00:18:56.000 Don't answer, honestly.

00:18:57.000 Yeah, it's like that guy who introduced himself, like, hey, I'm Josh.

00:19:00.000 I'm cool.

00:19:01.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:19:02.000 You're probably not.

00:19:02.000 Definitely not cool.

00:19:03.000 Yeah, you're probably not.

00:19:05.000 You're no James Dean.

00:19:06.000 Yeah, you want to be annoyed.

00:19:08.000 Speaking of uncool, she got her husband in on the act, and he seems to like it.

00:19:12.000 My husband wants to show you his outfit of the day, so you better be fing nothing.

00:19:15.000 He's so new, big.

00:19:17.000 Tell them your outfit.

00:19:18.000 Yeah, I'm sure he wanted to do this.

00:19:20.000 I'm Mike Wazowski.

00:19:21.000 I hate him!

00:19:23.000 He conceived Scarlett in this.

00:19:25.000 That makes me feel good about myself.

00:19:28.000 Hike him up.

00:19:29.000 Hike me up.

00:19:34.000 Am I done now?

00:19:35.000 Good job, baby.

00:19:37.000 And by the way, after that, she went on to having sleep apnea while awake.

00:19:42.000 This is where we need to bring back patriarchy. 0.56

00:19:44.000 This is what I mean.

00:19:45.000 That husband should be like, hey, you're looking a little, you're looking, you can't not just fit into your wedding dress, you can't fit into a dress.

00:19:52.000 It's a problem that we need to dress you in tarps. 0.99

00:19:55.000 He should be like, yeah, what are you saying?

00:19:56.000 Yeah, I'm saying that you're much bigger than when we met and it's unhealthy.

00:20:00.000 And if we're going to raise kids, I don't want them to look like you. 1.00

00:20:02.000 You need leadership.

00:20:03.000 You're not healthy.

00:20:04.000 Yeah, instead of enabling it.

00:20:05.000 Yes.

00:20:05.000 Was that a humiliation ritual for him or something like that?

00:20:08.000 Like, what is that lady, like 5'5 and that heavy? 1.00

00:20:12.000 I don't know.

00:20:12.000 Well, when she steps back in the camera, you get like a kind of a perspective on the shower.

00:20:16.000 Yeah.

00:20:16.000 It's like, listen, what are we doing here?

00:20:18.000 What is this guy allowing this stuff for?

00:20:20.000 Let me ask you.

00:20:22.000 I could get into some stats and I could, but let me just give you one point and you'll know that this is true.

00:20:27.000 You ever see the in-memoriam for athletes, you know, or for actors or when people are celebrating someone who's really old as a celebrity?

00:20:33.000 Let's say it's Betty White, whoever it is. 1.00

00:20:35.000 And when they pass, everyone mourns them.

00:20:37.000 Yeah.

00:20:37.000 Name me one who was an obese elder celebrity.

00:20:41.000 One, who was a morbidly obese elder who lived into old age.

00:20:46.000 One.

00:20:49.000 Your body's trying to tell you something.

00:20:50.000 You're dying.

00:20:51.000 Let's call this what it is.

00:20:52.000 You are dying and you're advocating that other people make the same decisions that will lead them to an early death.

00:20:59.000 The advocating is the bad part.

00:21:00.000 That's the problem.

00:21:01.000 Of course.

00:21:02.000 I'm not going to judge people's lifestyle, whatever.

00:21:05.000 But the fact is that she is living this lifestyle and encouraging other people to live that lifestyle.

00:21:09.000 Oh, you can love yourself.

00:21:11.000 Yeah, you can love yourself.

00:21:12.000 You can also love yourself enough to make a change or for your husband or for your kids.

00:21:17.000 Yeah.

00:21:18.000 Because I'm going through that.

00:21:20.000 But she has this page where she has all these different outfits and it's all at any size.

00:21:24.000 It's all these different posts saying, oh, you know, this is what you can wear.

00:21:28.000 This is how you can look great.

00:21:30.000 This is, I recommend this for you.

00:21:31.000 So she's built a lifestyle in a brand now that's reliant on her being that heavy. 0.72

00:21:35.000 Right.

00:21:36.000 Yeah.

00:21:36.000 So now she, if she wants to pay her mortgage, if she wants to keep her lifestyle up, she has to continue this.

00:21:41.000 Yeah.

00:21:41.000 For how long?

00:21:42.000 I don't know.

00:21:44.000 Well, not that long.

00:21:44.000 And we see that a lot.

00:21:46.000 And I'm going to counter that.

00:21:47.000 Well, I will tell you this.

00:21:49.000 Look, especially after the shirt, I gained 25, 30 pounds.

00:21:52.000 You know, I couldn't move.

00:21:53.000 And my joints hurt more.

00:21:54.000 My blood pressure went up.

00:21:56.000 I didn't feel blood in your lungs, though.

00:21:58.000 That's true.

00:21:59.000 It was four and a half liters.

00:22:01.000 But the point remains, you don't feel good.

00:22:03.000 Just how about this?

00:22:05.000 Also, if someone is advocating a lifestyle, just to be clear, that's easy, that anyone can do, and that contrasts with someone advocating for something that maybe requires some effort on your part.

00:22:15.000 This is a general rule.

00:22:17.000 Usually the one advocating some kind of effort or discomfort, but promising reward in the long term is correct.

00:22:25.000 Just so you guys know, as a general sort of rule to use, is wait, hold on a second.

00:22:29.000 Who's the one Advocating instant gratification and acceptance regardless of outcome.

00:22:33.000 Okay.

00:22:34.000 Who's the one saying that I can actually take ownership of this and make decisions and be accountable and actually improve my life in the long term?

00:22:41.000 Who's advocating delayed gratification?

00:22:42.000 I'm going to go with that one.

00:22:44.000 That's what I'm going to do.

00:22:44.000 Well, yeah, yeah, you guys can follow me on Instagram.

00:22:47.000 I'm going to document it.

00:22:48.000 Sorry, I was going to be some shirtless pictures.

00:22:50.000 But yeah.

00:22:51.000 Don't be sorry.

00:22:52.000 I said on the scale last week and I was like, oh, dude.

00:22:57.000 Yeah, too much.

00:22:58.000 I appreciate it.

00:22:58.000 I was like, yeah, so I've been running for the last week and a half.

00:23:01.000 We're going to shrink America. 0.69

00:23:02.000 Yeah, yeah.

00:23:03.000 I'm going to shrink America.

00:23:04.000 You're going to counter that kind of like maintain your healthy, because I've never loved myself.

00:23:08.000 Well, I'd assume that even when you lose weight, you could end up, you don't love yourself regardless.

00:23:12.000 There's less to love.

00:23:12.000 Especially when you get ripped off on tires.

00:23:16.000 What do I have?

00:23:17.000 Screw me tattooed on my forehead.

00:23:18.000 Fortunately, her and her husband did make a day trip to the beach, and she jumped off the pier.

00:23:38.000 No.

00:23:40.000 Not again.

00:23:43.000 Hey, Josh, where can people follow you to follow that?

00:23:45.000 Josh underscore Firestein on Instagram.

00:23:47.000 On Instagram.

00:23:48.000 Are you going to be using Jacked Up Fitness to do some work?

00:23:50.000 Yeah.

00:23:51.000 I'll be working out in the gym.

00:23:52.000 I'll post some videos here and there and what I'm doing, what I'm working on.

00:23:55.000 It doesn't need to be complicated either, guys.

00:23:58.000 Look, I guarantee you, guarantee if you take that person and just count the calories in versus calories out, there's your answer.

00:24:05.000 I guarantee you.

00:24:06.000 There might be some other contributing factors.

00:24:09.000 Without fail, that is what is going on.

00:24:12.000 Just eat a little bit less.

00:24:13.000 You know what's reasonably healthy and move a little bit more.

00:24:17.000 Really, just do that.

00:24:19.000 Try and do some strength training twice a week.

00:24:21.000 I'm not trying to get it myself.

00:24:22.000 Everyone should be doing it, especially if you understand the burden on our health care system, especially if you care.

00:24:30.000 We talk about what kind of a world do we want to preserve for our kids, and they want to advocate for every eco policy and green new deal.

00:24:35.000 Well, how about advocating that they don't kill themselves for a lifetime of horrible decisions?

00:24:42.000 It's not a small thing.

00:24:44.000 The culture that is permissive to unhealthy, hedonistic, gluttonous decisions in the name of tolerance, that's a culture that is doomed to crumble, that is doomed to fail.

00:24:57.000 It's a symptom of a greater problem.

00:24:59.000 Speaking of problem, Somalia, I know that place, that silly, awful place. 1.00

00:25:05.000 Why are we talking about them?

00:25:07.000 Well, they're now getting Starlink.

00:25:09.000 Oh, boy.

00:25:11.000 Seriously.

00:25:12.000 Toolman, run it. 0.99

00:25:14.000 The Starlink of Ben Somalia. 0.54

00:25:18.000 Ilhan Oma, seventh cousins can all search for husband brothers.

00:25:24.000 What accuse required to use it?

00:25:26.000 Scam as well abuse it.

00:25:28.000 Just ban them along with India. 1.00

00:25:34.000 He lived it.

00:25:35.000 It's okay.

00:25:37.000 There's no evidence of that.

00:25:38.000 So Elon Musk announced the service on X. He said, Starlink is not available in Somalia.

00:25:44.000 And five people cheered.

00:25:46.000 Yes.

00:25:47.000 And magically, in the last 24 hours, pirate attacks have been down by 135%.

00:25:52.000 I wonder what could be occupying their time.

00:25:54.000 Oh, that makes sense.

00:25:57.000 Come on.

00:25:59.000 Every chance we get, Ilon Omar married her brother.

00:26:04.000 I think the banging part is more.

00:26:06.000 Hey, consummating.

00:26:07.000 Consummating.

00:26:08.000 Oh, sorry.

00:26:08.000 Consummating.

00:26:09.000 Well, language.

00:26:10.000 It's a covenant.

00:26:10.000 Allegedly.

00:26:11.000 It's a covenant, good sir, with flippers.

00:26:13.000 Now, to give you an idea, Starlink is going to cost $390 for the equipment and a $70 monthly fee in Somalia.

00:26:23.000 Well, that's kind of a problem because the GDP per capita is $766.

00:26:26.000 Couldn't even find the income statistics.

00:26:31.000 You could eat or not eat, I think, at that level.

00:26:34.000 Although half of Somalia, at least half of the people there, seem to be connected to the internet.

00:26:40.000 15% of them estimated to be on social media.

00:26:43.000 Well, I should clarify, half of them on social media are, in fact, fitness influencers.

00:26:47.000 And that's the look how happy she is.

00:26:55.000 She looks like she loves herself.

00:26:57.000 At any weight, Josh.

00:26:58.000 At any weight.

00:26:59.000 And it got To Somalia before South Africa.

00:27:02.000 Think about that for a second.

00:27:03.000 Elon Musk said that South Africa wouldn't allow Starlink because it's not a black-owned business.

00:27:08.000 He says there's a policy there, but I've got to imagine that Somalia is not super amenable to policies that favor the Western world.

00:27:17.000 I can't imagine they're less discriminatory.

00:27:19.000 Yeah, I don't think they like us all that much right now.

00:27:21.000 I don't think they like us a whole lot either.

00:27:22.000 Well, they're too busy fighting each other.

00:27:23.000 But hey, Starlink.

00:27:24.000 Yeah, but the internet is a powerful tool.

00:27:27.000 Brings us all together.

00:27:28.000 We can expect more scam calls.

00:27:30.000 Son of a gun.

00:27:31.000 India, you're going to get a run for your money. 1.00

00:27:33.000 Can't wait for that different accent.

00:27:35.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:27:36.000 I don't even know how to identify.

00:27:37.000 I'm just like, is this a guy from Captain Phillips?

00:27:39.000 Otherwise, I can't.

00:27:40.000 I wouldn't know.

00:27:41.000 Yeah, I don't know.

00:27:42.000 Somalian? 0.86

00:27:43.000 I don't know.

00:27:43.000 It just sounds like generically not American.

00:27:45.000 Is he Somalian?

00:27:46.000 I don't know.

00:27:47.000 That guy got screwed.

00:27:48.000 His first role got nominated for an Oscar, and then he was expecting a career in rom-coms, didn't pan out.

00:27:55.000 Isn't he running for mayor?

00:27:57.000 He got tight cast.

00:27:58.000 Yeah, of course he did.

00:28:00.000 Look, I'm so much more than a pirate.

00:28:03.000 I could do action.

00:28:04.000 I could be like John Wick.

00:28:07.000 John Finn.

00:28:08.000 All right.

00:28:09.000 WNBA.

00:28:10.000 I know.

00:28:10.000 Don't say who cares.

00:28:13.000 This story has been going around, but it's been getting worse.

00:28:17.000 What kind of story?

00:28:19.000 Everything becomes a gate now.

00:28:20.000 And I don't like that everything is a gate because Watergate wasn't really even a gate.

00:28:23.000 When you know what Watergate was, we went to 3-3.

00:28:26.000 It's just, it really wasn't.

00:28:27.000 It's child's play compared to today.

00:28:29.000 But I understand.

00:28:30.000 I'm using the nomenclature that you understand.

00:28:32.000 So WNBA right now is experiencing dildo gate. 0.86

00:28:36.000 And you can see the object, the block right there.

00:28:40.000 The object comes that green bounces.

00:28:42.000 That green face.

00:28:43.000 The green dildo.

00:28:45.000 It's like their Detroit Red Wings octopus.

00:28:47.000 I'm not sure where it came from.

00:28:52.000 Hold up.

00:28:53.000 Stoppage for another dildo.

00:28:55.000 Got a whistle away from the basketball.

00:28:58.000 Watch this.

00:29:03.000 So it's been going on quite a bit.

00:29:06.000 And, you know, just in case you haven't been taking women's sports seriously. 0.98

00:29:10.000 I haven't.

00:29:11.000 Last Friday, Sophie Cunningham, who's in the W, she tweeted this out.

00:29:16.000 She said, stop throwing dildos on the court. 1.00

00:29:18.000 You're going to hurt one of us.

00:29:21.000 And then late last night, after another one happened, she actually responded to her own expo saying, this did not age well.

00:29:29.000 And here's the video as to why.

00:29:31.000 Four here before halftime.

00:29:33.000 Oh, look out.

00:29:36.000 Something just came up to the floor.

00:29:39.000 That's what's the wording.

00:29:42.000 Just feeling as the free throw is the They're always kicking it.

00:29:47.000 No one else will pick it up.

00:29:48.000 No.

00:29:50.000 They don't like penises in the WNBA, Josh. 1.00

00:29:52.000 Come on.

00:29:52.000 Surprise obvious ones for that.

00:29:55.000 Ew, penis. 0.97

00:29:56.000 Someone coming out with a hazman.

00:29:57.000 And it's always, just so you know, it's a trend.

00:29:58.000 It's always lime green.

00:30:02.000 That's fun.

00:30:02.000 I know.

00:30:02.000 Last time, you guys, we got a lot of feedback with the Shrek thing, and it was childish, and we apologized.

00:30:07.000 So a different angle of this incident was released, which now we actually have seen revealed the real culprit.

00:30:14.000 So for the Valkyries to actually play that, I was shocked.

00:30:18.000 Jordan Canada didn't know something too long before.

00:30:22.000 We're going to get to DC Crime.

00:30:25.000 It's a comedy show.

00:30:26.000 It's a slow news day.

00:30:27.000 And culture.

00:30:29.000 Very slow.

00:30:29.000 Oh, no, that thing came out pretty fast.

00:30:31.000 That did.

00:30:33.000 Did.

00:30:34.000 It's propulsion dynamics.

00:30:36.000 So here's me, Mr. Pinky.

00:30:38.000 Here you go.

00:30:41.000 Why is it always green?

00:30:46.000 All right.

00:30:49.000 So here are some stats because you probably want that in this segment.

00:30:53.000 WNBA viewership is $794,000 per game, which is up 21% from last year.

00:31:00.000 Good for them.

00:31:00.000 And that's still significantly better than CNN primetime ratings, just to give you an idea.

00:31:06.000 $538,000.

00:31:07.000 It's still a fraction of the NBA, but still better than CNN.

00:31:11.000 And you know what?

00:31:11.000 If the WNBA players, if they stop making the argument, we want to be paid as much as the men, no.

00:31:16.000 But if they made the argument, hey, we should be paid at least as much as Brian Stelter, that would be a more convincing argument.

00:31:22.000 There you go.

00:31:23.000 Somebody else who's failing right now.

00:31:25.000 They're still losing money, but they're going to turn around.

00:31:27.000 By the way, I know what you're going to say.

00:31:28.000 It's all because of the fever.

00:31:29.000 No.

00:31:30.000 And you take them out, they're still beating CNN.

00:31:32.000 Even without Caitlin Clark.

00:31:34.000 Who's the fever?

00:31:34.000 Indiana fever.

00:31:36.000 Oh, Caitlin Clark.

00:31:37.000 I love that you acted as though everyone should know that.

00:31:39.000 Yeah, don't assume that.

00:31:40.000 No, no, no, no.

00:31:41.000 No, I said some of you will say.

00:31:43.000 And those people who would say that they know who the fever is.

00:31:45.000 Yeah, there's like two people.

00:31:46.000 Like seven or eight, maybe.

00:31:46.000 Gerald's one of them.

00:31:47.000 I got off.

00:31:48.000 No, I am not.

00:31:49.000 I hate the WNBA. 1.00

00:31:50.000 I got it.

00:31:51.000 The only prescription is bad basketball.

00:31:53.000 Yeah.

00:31:57.000 It's just silly.

00:31:59.000 Dildos hadn't been thrown on the floor.

00:32:00.000 Nobody would be talking about you right now.

00:32:01.000 That's my question.

00:32:02.000 Do you think it's a psyop to actually increase their viewership?

00:32:05.000 Because I think people now, they're tuning in not for the passing, not for the team.

00:32:09.000 They're tuning in for the lime green dildos. 0.53

00:32:11.000 Is that, I don't know.

00:32:12.000 I don't follow.

00:32:13.000 Gerald, you know, WNBA. 1.00

00:32:15.000 Is that more dildos than dunks this year?

00:32:18.000 I think it's more dildos than dunks ever.

00:32:20.000 More men have walked on the moon than women talked in the WNBA.

00:32:26.000 I mean, there's a couple of people that can do it.

00:32:27.000 It's very unimpressive right now because it like barely gets over the rim, but I haven't seen it or heard about it happen in one of the games.

00:32:33.000 Maybe it has.

00:32:34.000 I don't know.

00:32:35.000 It's a boring sports.

00:32:36.000 Professional sports.

00:32:37.000 There's only one purpose, to see who the best is among us.

00:32:40.000 That's it.

00:32:40.000 That's all it is.

00:32:41.000 And I'm sorry, women aren't. 1.00

00:32:42.000 And if people want to go to it and watch the game, if they have a family-friendly environment other than the flying dildos for some reason, then, you know, fine.

00:32:49.000 Yeah.

00:32:49.000 But go for it.

00:32:50.000 But I just, I'm just, I'm tired of this argument.

00:32:52.000 I don't know.

00:32:52.000 Even then, just go to medieval times or something.

00:32:54.000 There you go.

00:32:55.000 Why would you go to the WNBA? 1.00

00:32:56.000 You can throw a dildos. 0.97

00:32:57.000 You're not going to be able to do that.

00:32:57.000 You're going to go, guys.

00:32:58.000 That's the point.

00:32:58.000 You're not going to take toddlers to the WNBA.

00:33:00.000 And they're like, these are my fondest memories, father.

00:33:02.000 No, probably not.

00:33:03.000 I'm just like, what the hell?

00:33:04.000 I couldn't spring from medieval times.

00:33:05.000 They give you a whole half-roasted chicken.

00:33:09.000 It's good.

00:33:10.000 The food's not bad at medieval times.

00:33:11.000 Sucks.

00:33:12.000 Don't get concussed like I did.

00:33:14.000 All right.

00:33:16.000 Also, the red guy sucks.

00:33:18.000 Yeah.

00:33:19.000 I got a little overzealous when I went.

00:33:22.000 Apparently I cussed at the red knight. 0.78

00:33:24.000 But, you know, he was so smart.

00:33:29.000 So here's the thing.

00:33:30.000 We're talking about, look, and this is, we do have the luxury because there's been a lot of winning, right?

00:33:34.000 There's been a lot of winning, and there have been some missteps.

00:33:36.000 But now you have the opportunity to sit back and say, okay, what kind of a country do we want to be for the next decade, the next half a century, the next century, right?

00:33:46.000 Okay, what brought us here?

00:33:48.000 Why are we seeing an improved scenario for Americans right now economically as far as national security, right?

00:33:53.000 There's a different tone in the country.

00:33:54.000 There's a shift.

00:33:56.000 So let's take inventory.

00:33:57.000 All right.

00:33:58.000 What do we want to do?

00:34:00.000 What should we set as the baseline?

00:34:02.000 A good rule of thumb is do the opposite of what the left has done when they are in power.

00:34:06.000 Don't ask yourself, what does the left do?

00:34:08.000 What do Democrats do on the national stage?

00:34:10.000 Ask yourself, what would they do with unfettered power?

00:34:13.000 Now, you can look to Canada and see that.

00:34:15.000 You can look to certain parts of Europe, or you can look to these sort of petri dishes, these microcosms, these cities that have been run by progressive leftists for a very, very long time, and you get a good idea.

00:34:25.000 So that's going to bring us here to D.C. Let me just set this up for you because Donald Trump is talking about federalizing the security issues there in D.C. D.C., why do we find ourselves here?

00:34:36.000 Does this apply to the country?

00:34:37.000 Soft on crime policies.

00:34:39.000 Okay.

00:34:40.000 You see this in all kinds of cities, not just D.C., but San Francisco, New York, Detroit, places like St. Louis.

00:34:45.000 And you see the results as far as skyrocketing crime, not in a vacuum compared to the rest of the country.

00:34:50.000 It's much worse in these cities as the direct result of their policies.

00:34:54.000 It's time for D.C. Capital of Crime.

00:34:56.000 We're going to be right here.

00:34:58.000 We ain't going nowhere.

00:34:59.000 Welcome to D.C. Welcome to D.C. We And you know, this does matter.

00:35:08.000 And I get it, D.C. is complicated.

00:35:10.000 We'll sort of get into why we can federalize it because I don't even know what you could consider it the United States.

00:35:15.000 It's one of those type of things.

00:35:17.000 But it's been getting bad for a long period of time.

00:35:21.000 And it's supposed, look, it's where our capital is.

00:35:23.000 It's where our presidents live.

00:35:26.000 We should be putting our best foot forward.

00:35:28.000 And I don't think it's out of line for someone like the president of the United States to look out his window and say, you know what, we should probably clean this place up, especially when you understand this is the direct result of proactive policy from the left.

00:35:40.000 So this is now making the rounds everywhere.

00:35:44.000 Someone was brutally beaten in D.C. Actually, someone trying to be a hero stepped in in the middle of a carjacking and then was gang beaten.

00:35:51.000 Take a guess on the suspects.

00:35:52.000 And the person who ended up being gang beaten, now it's emerged, it was Doge's infamous big balls.

00:35:59.000 Remember him?

00:36:00.000 Justin, confirming President Trump's claim that our former Doge employee was attacked on the streets of D.C. last night.

00:36:06.000 Multiple sources telling Fox News that Edward Kornstein was violently beaten in D.C. Elon Musk says Kornstein, also known by a colorful nickname, was, quote, beaten to the point of concussion while trying to save a woman from a D.C. assault.

00:36:22.000 First off, hats off to him.

00:36:24.000 Yeah, no kidding.

00:36:25.000 And the fact that they just addressed this, like, oh, you know, this happened, and he was beaten.

00:36:30.000 Okay, who are the suspects?

00:36:33.000 Why no information on that?

00:36:34.000 Take a guess.

00:36:35.000 Comment below.

00:36:36.000 When you don't get any information on the suspects, whether it's a shooter, whether it's a gang beating, do you make an assumption?

00:36:42.000 Russian nationals.

00:36:43.000 Yeah.

00:36:44.000 Yeah, it's probably those Mennonites. 0.94

00:36:46.000 Time magazine, this is how they described that incident.

00:36:50.000 They said the large testicles nicknamed 19-year-old who reportedly used to provide, quote, tech support to a cybercrime ring, became a special employee of the Social Security Administration in May.

00:37:00.000 How about you guys are outraged over everything?

00:37:02.000 You're outraged over pronouns.

00:37:04.000 You're outraged over border security.

00:37:07.000 You're outraged over people exercising their freedom of speech.

00:37:09.000 How about outrage over someone being gang beaten in our nation's capital because of the policies from the people who you support as representatives?

00:37:19.000 How about that?

00:37:19.000 How about outrage over that?

00:37:20.000 Not just Doge.

00:37:23.000 Also, in a twist, turns out the carjacker, the attacker, also had big balls as seen by the recently released footage of suspect.

00:37:38.000 He should have been on a watch list or something.

00:37:41.000 Let's me know who he was now.

00:37:42.000 I like how they thought Big Balls was...

00:37:48.000 I didn't let it go.

00:37:49.000 I self-censored.

00:37:51.000 He censored themselves.

00:37:52.000 They didn't want to say big balls.

00:37:53.000 They said large testicles. 0.61

00:37:54.000 Yeah.

00:37:55.000 Which is worse.

00:37:57.000 Sounds like a medical condition.

00:37:58.000 Yeah, I'm thinking about balls when you say that.

00:38:01.000 Yeah.

00:38:01.000 Well, let's be honest, we all often do.

00:38:05.000 So President Trump responded.

00:38:07.000 And of course, what the left does is they, this is the, I hate to use it, but the gaslighting, right?

00:38:12.000 They enact policies that lead to rampant crime that harm citizens, you, the American worker, the American taxpayer.

00:38:19.000 And then when the person who you elected to office says, we need to do something about this, they go, oh, fascist.

00:38:25.000 No, no, this person has a mandate of the masses.

00:38:27.000 And a big part of that is, yeah, immigration.

00:38:30.000 But tied into that, crime.

00:38:31.000 Americans are tired of having to deal with crime in their cities when something can and should be done.

00:38:36.000 It's one of the few legitimate jobs of the federal government, which is why President Trump has said, hey, you know what?

00:38:40.000 Maybe it's time to federalize the city.

00:38:42.000 I have to say that somebody from Doge was very badly hurt last night.

00:38:46.000 You saw that a young man who was beat up by a bunch of thugs in D.C. And either they're going to straighten their act out in the terms of government and in terms of protection, or we're going to have to federalize and run it the way it's supposed to be run.

00:39:00.000 This is an important thing that many of you may have missed.

00:39:04.000 During the Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown years, do you guys remember on CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNBC, MSNBC, when they had control, the left of all legacy media?

00:39:14.000 They said that thug was a dog whistle.

00:39:16.000 Right.

00:39:17.000 If you use the term socialist, you really meant the N-word.

00:39:19.000 If you said thug, you really meant the N-word.

00:39:20.000 To the point where on YouTube, they would censor some videos if you used the term thug.

00:39:25.000 I had a video removed on YouTube during the Black Lives Matter protests, the riots, the early ones.

00:39:30.000 Hands up, don't shoot, for referring to them as low-life thugs.

00:39:33.000 What's next, suspect?

00:39:34.000 Yeah.

00:39:35.000 No, actually, yes.

00:39:36.000 Actually, yes.

00:39:37.000 I had a conversation with executives at YouTube who said, you know, for example, there's a gray area.

00:39:43.000 I don't think that, you know, showing or reflecting crime statistics should be seen as prejudice, but that's not a gray area.

00:39:51.000 What?

00:39:52.000 Those are stats.

00:39:53.000 So you have a president now who just said unabashedly, thugs.

00:39:56.000 Good.

00:39:57.000 That's a shift.

00:39:57.000 That's a good thing.

00:39:58.000 People used to have to tiptoe around it.

00:40:00.000 So please don't underappreciate that.

00:40:02.000 He added on truth.

00:40:03.000 He said, crime in Washington, D.C. is totally out of control.

00:40:07.000 Local youths, quote, and gang members, some only 14, 15, and 16 years old, are randomly attacking, mugging, maiming, and shooting innocent citizens at the same time knowing that they will be almost immediately released.

00:40:24.000 They know it.

00:40:25.000 Law in D.C. must be changed to prosecute these minors as adults and lock them up for a long time starting at age 14.

00:40:33.000 The most recent victim was beaten mercilessly by local thugs.

00:40:37.000 If this continues, I am going to exert my powers and federalize the city.

00:40:44.000 Can he do that?

00:40:46.000 Actually, yeah, there are ways to do that.

00:40:48.000 And you actually have more of a say in what happens in DC than most cities because the city legislature doesn't really control it because of the sort of gray area that it is.

00:40:58.000 Speaking of big balls, before we move on that, Josh, you know, it also takes a pair of big balls to cut class like you did the other day.

00:41:04.000 Ooh, do you think anyone noticed?

00:41:07.000 Firestein Firestein Firestein Feierstein.

00:41:20.000 He's homeless.

00:41:22.000 My best friend, sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with this girl who saw Josh getting his house repossessed last night.

00:41:31.000 I guess it's pretty serious.

00:41:34.000 Thank you, Steve.

00:41:36.000 No problem whatsoever.

00:41:37.000 Call the pros at American Financing Today at 1-800-974-6500 or visit AmericanFinancing.net/slash Crowder.

00:41:45.000 NMLS 182-334.

00:41:48.000 If you start today, you may even delay up to two mortgage payments.

00:41:51.000 Morgan.

00:41:54.000 Morgan.

00:41:57.000 Big balls.

00:41:58.000 Also, I will say, just a quick word of the sponsor.

00:42:00.000 We're very happy with them.

00:42:01.000 If you are currently sort of finalizing a mortgage, you can still also use them as a reference point, and you may even get a better deal with the people you're with.

00:42:09.000 I had a friend do that where American Financing beat it.

00:42:11.000 And they said, no, no, no, wait, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't go.

00:42:14.000 We'll do it here.

00:42:14.000 So I've known a lot of people who have been helped, genuinely, at least give them a shot.

00:42:19.000 They're good people.

00:42:19.000 I've talked to them.

00:42:20.000 Let's go through.

00:42:21.000 Really quickly, can I just go back to so we have the president kind of characterizing what happened?

00:42:26.000 Yes.

00:42:27.000 Just so that I understand it, because it's almost lost in this story.

00:42:30.000 A woman was being carjacked.

00:42:32.000 Big balls to the rescue. 0.86

00:42:34.000 Have all the fun you want with the jokes on that one, right?

00:42:36.000 Stops the carjacking.

00:42:38.000 Gets beaten up for his troubles.

00:42:40.000 And the teens run off.

00:42:41.000 Okay.

00:42:42.000 Is the word hero being thrown around?

00:42:45.000 Is the word hero saves woman from carjacking being thrown around in the media right now?

00:42:50.000 Or is it basically, well, he was one of those Doge kids that has a weird nickname and so it's just some guy that got beat up.

00:42:56.000 Yeah.

00:42:56.000 Because I, for one, want more people.

00:43:00.000 In fact, when 10 people try to go and attack somebody like that who's stopping a carjacking, I want 100 people from the neighborhood to make sure those 10 guys learn how to fly really quickly off of this hero.

00:43:12.000 Yep.

00:43:12.000 That's what I want.

00:43:13.000 Should we be encouraging people to actually stand up and police a little bit of their own communities to just to a small degree?

00:43:18.000 I understand there's limits, but just to a small degree.

00:43:20.000 What's the Bible verse they will call good evil?

00:43:23.000 Evil good?

00:43:24.000 Evil good.

00:43:25.000 Yeah, I think we've reached that point.

00:43:26.000 I'm waiting for everyone in D.C. to turn into a pillar of salt because that guy's a hero, not a fat pride model activist.

00:43:32.000 They'll call them brave.

00:43:34.000 This guy actually risked life and limb against a gang to help someone he didn't know.

00:43:38.000 But because he's of the wrong political persuasion, what were you going to say, Noodles?

00:43:41.000 I was going to say research just sent in that the carjacking victim was apparently him and his girlfriend.

00:43:48.000 Oh, his girlfriend?

00:43:48.000 Okay.

00:43:49.000 They're looking for an Epsir.

00:43:50.000 Either way, she's still a lady, right? 1.00

00:43:53.000 She's lady parts. 1.00

00:43:53.000 Exactly. 1.00

00:43:55.000 I assumed.

00:43:56.000 Big ball.

00:43:57.000 Did they get ball or did he stop it?

00:44:01.000 I don't know if they got off with the car.

00:44:02.000 It doesn't matter.

00:44:02.000 He fought.

00:44:03.000 No, he did.

00:44:03.000 He fought.

00:44:04.000 I believe they did not get the car, but they won't say hero.

00:44:06.000 And the way that the newscasters are talking, by the way, the headlines sound, it's almost as if they cut off the beginning where I said, hey, good news.

00:44:13.000 Right.

00:44:14.000 Yeah.

00:44:14.000 No, you're exactly right.

00:44:16.000 What kind of a society do you want to live in?

00:44:17.000 What kind of a country do we want?

00:44:18.000 Now, the left then goes, we can't have a vigilante culture.

00:44:22.000 Okay, but it's also not vigilanteism to fight for what is yours and to fight for the people you love.

00:44:28.000 You know what?

00:44:29.000 I would rather have a culture that errs on the side of vigilanteism than a culture that decides, you know what, we just have to allow crime to go on unfettered in the name of justice, in the name of equity.

00:44:42.000 Everything is in the name of equity.

00:44:43.000 Here's a job that you didn't earn.

00:44:45.000 Equity.

00:44:46.000 Hey, you know what?

00:44:47.000 Here's some freedom that you rightfully should have lost after committing violent crime.

00:44:50.000 Why?

00:44:51.000 Equity.

00:44:52.000 I get it.

00:44:52.000 Some people have some tough breaks.

00:44:53.000 I understand that.

00:44:55.000 I also don't, you guys can comment on this.

00:44:58.000 I don't agree with the idea that prison and that our justice system should just be focused on rehabilitation.

00:45:04.000 I think primary, the first thing that happens is punishment and then rehabilitation if we can, but punishment is what is most necessary as the first deterrent.

00:45:14.000 You've made your decision.

00:45:15.000 So let's get to how we got here.

00:45:17.000 First, let's go through the why.

00:45:19.000 All references are available, links in the description.

00:45:21.000 In D.C., right?

00:45:22.000 Crime is terrible.

00:45:22.000 We'll get you some stats.

00:45:23.000 But why?

00:45:24.000 Well, you can trace it to no cash bail in Washington, D.C. 88% of D.C. defendants are released.

00:45:32.000 No bail being paid.

00:45:34.000 Jeez.

00:45:35.000 Yeah, just go.

00:45:36.000 And their justification is like, well, most of them show up for the court anyway.

00:45:39.000 Yeah, but some don't.

00:45:41.000 And the ones who don't are likely the worst among us, right?

00:45:44.000 Because they've already chosen to break the law.

00:45:46.000 Also, I don't care.

00:45:48.000 I don't care.

00:45:48.000 There needs to be some skin in the game.

00:45:50.000 There needs to be some punishment.

00:45:51.000 So 88% of D.C. defendants, no bail.

00:45:54.000 Then you have the policy.

00:45:55.000 They refuse to prosecute crimes.

00:45:57.000 Up to 67% of arrests in D.C. are not prosecuted.

00:46:01.000 That is not in line with the rest of the country.

00:46:03.000 How's that even possible?

00:46:04.000 That's insane.

00:46:04.000 And of course, you've seen the guest.

00:46:05.000 Well, we didn't actually mean defund the police.

00:46:07.000 Yeah, yeah, no, actually, they did.

00:46:08.000 And you can look at the reforms to the police in Washington, D.C. They limited police searches.

00:46:12.000 They banned chokeholds completely.

00:46:14.000 They removed officers just for basic allegations of misconduct in civil lawsuits.

00:46:19.000 And what's the result?

00:46:20.000 They have the lowest number of officers in D.C. in 50 years.

00:46:25.000 Wow.

00:46:25.000 50 years.

00:46:26.000 I'm guessing it's not a lower population.

00:46:28.000 Nope.

00:46:29.000 It's not proportional.

00:46:30.000 So if you're a criminal in D.C., you go, hey, there are fewer officers than ever before.

00:46:35.000 They're afraid to do anything because I can just accuse them of patting me on the ass or whatever it is and they'll be put on leave.

00:46:40.000 Also, they're probably not going to prosecute my crime.

00:46:42.000 And worst case scenario, I don't need to pay any cash and I can just revolving door my criminal ass out of here and right back into mugging somebody else.

00:46:52.000 At what point do you say correlation does not equal causation?

00:46:55.000 So that's the why.

00:46:56.000 And this is the what.

00:46:58.000 This is what that's gotten you in D.C. This can be applied, by the way, to places like Detroit, to places like Chicago.

00:47:04.000 D.C. is just really, really bad.

00:47:06.000 If D.C., to give you an idea, if it were a state, it would have the highest homicide rate in the United States.

00:47:14.000 Jeez.

00:47:15.000 Wow.

00:47:16.000 The highest in the country.

00:47:18.000 In 2023, D.C. had the single highest spike of violent crime out of any cities.

00:47:24.000 And that's three times the percentage increase of second place, a distant second place, Memphis, which also sucks.

00:47:31.000 And Memphis is really, really bad.

00:47:32.000 Memphis is terrible.

00:47:33.000 And I know people, the left, they're trying to say in the FBI, they've tried to massage these statistics, right?

00:47:37.000 People try to say, well, that was because of COVID.

00:47:39.000 No, actually, all crime in D.C. is still significantly higher than pre-COVID levels.

00:47:43.000 Sorry, Democrats.

00:47:44.000 You can't keep using that crutch for this long.

00:47:48.000 So other cities saw a spike.

00:47:49.000 Again, who would you thank for that?

00:47:51.000 Who would you thank for the spike across the country, right?

00:47:53.000 COVID policy, lockdown, social distancing, shutting down businesses, where you basically have major cities that are becoming ghost towns.

00:47:59.000 Who was responsible for that?

00:48:00.000 Who would you say is more responsible for the universal increase in crime during COVID?

00:48:06.000 Would you say conservatives who didn't want lockdowns?

00:48:08.000 Conservatives who wanted to keep their businesses open?

00:48:10.000 Conservatives who didn't believe in writing checks to people who weren't working?

00:48:14.000 Which one is more likely?

00:48:16.000 And then after COVID, where do you still see the increased crime?

00:48:20.000 Is it in suburban areas?

00:48:22.000 Is it in rural areas?

00:48:23.000 Is it in cities that are more red?

00:48:25.000 There are really almost no red cities, I think, aside from maybe Oklahoma City in the country.

00:48:29.000 Where do you see the crime rate higher than it was pre-COVID?

00:48:33.000 At a certain point, you have to say, okay, who is responsible for this?

00:48:37.000 And let me give you some clear examples too in D.C. Sometimes you look at stats on a paper and you go, oh, okay, well, that happened.

00:48:42.000 No, no, people's lives are being lost in record numbers.

00:48:46.000 People are being beaten within an inch of their life.

00:48:49.000 And it's entirely preventable.

00:48:52.000 In most of these cases, almost entirely preventable.

00:48:54.000 Let me walk through a couple.

00:48:56.000 July 1st, remember this one?

00:48:57.000 2025, congressional internal Eric Tarpinian Yakim.

00:49:02.000 I hope I'm getting that right.

00:49:03.000 He was killed, D.C., after he was caught in crossfire.

00:49:07.000 There were two teenage boys on bicycles just to his left, and there was an SUV with as many as four people inside.

00:49:14.000 As that SUV made the turn here onto M Street, according to police, at least two gunmen, masked gunmen, got out of the vehicle, and one with a rifle opened fire.

00:49:26.000 Eric Tarpinian Jackham was hit once in the abdomen with what appears to be a round from a rifle?

00:49:32.000 An uninvolved person who lost his life in D.C. And so no mayor, no police chief, no mother, father, community member ever wants to hear that.

00:49:44.000 And I want to kind of walk, that was a congressional intern, right?

00:49:49.000 The next one that I'm going to bring to you is someone who's a former Trump official.

00:49:53.000 So when people say Donald Trump fascist, let me ask you this.

00:49:56.000 If you had one, two, three, 10 work colleagues and friends who were murdered or mugged and you could do something about it, would you?

00:50:05.000 Is that fascist?

00:50:07.000 January 9th, 2024, this is the former Trump official Mike Gill shot, killed in a carjacking spree.

00:50:14.000 Carjacking, didn't we just talk about that?

00:50:16.000 Yeah.

00:50:16.000 35-year-old Alberto Vasquez Jr. was killed in that same spree, by the way.

00:50:20.000 February 9th, 2023, Democratic Representative Angie Craig of Minnesota assaulted in the elevator at her apartment.

00:50:27.000 July 10th, 2016, well, this one, Seth Rich was absolutely not killed by Hillary Clinton.

00:50:32.000 So I don't know why we put that in there.

00:50:33.000 That was a mistake.

00:50:34.000 Sorry about that.

00:50:35.000 So think about this for a second.

00:50:36.000 You have the personal experience, the personal connections, and you can look at the statistics.

00:50:41.000 Okay, now D.C. has a decision to make, and they've made it.

00:50:45.000 Do we do something differently?

00:50:46.000 They've doubled down.

00:50:48.000 So can you, can the federal government, do anything about it?

00:50:53.000 Do you want your city to be like D.C.?

00:50:55.000 Do you want your city to be like Detroit, to be like Chicago, to be like St. Louis, to be like Memphis?

00:50:59.000 If you vote for Democrats, that's exactly what you'll get because they've told you that.

00:51:03.000 Good news is you actually have a say in D.C. So we were doing some research this morning and laying the brain.

00:51:09.000 A lot of this was, I didn't know a lot of this before today.

00:51:13.000 The federal government already has different levels of control over D.C., so the president can use his power regarding the D.C. police and the National Guard during emergencies, to be clear.

00:51:23.000 There are things known as budget riders, and that allows Congress to basically decide to determine how D.C. spends its funds.

00:51:31.000 There was one that happened with the regulating marijuana, the marijuana industry.

00:51:34.000 Well, they didn't want to, basically it was from, I believe it was Harris Ryder that said they basically couldn't regulate marijuana.

00:51:41.000 It was probably a bad idea.

00:51:42.000 Probably wasn't in that city.

00:51:43.000 But people don't really know this, that they have to get their budget approved by Congress.

00:51:47.000 Right.

00:51:47.000 So when they want money for something or when they want to get a budget approved, they don't just do it like we normally do it in other cities around the country.

00:51:53.000 They have to go to Congress.

00:51:53.000 Right.

00:51:54.000 Much more complicated process because then politics gets played with that.

00:51:57.000 Pick your favorite issue.

00:51:58.000 And if it comes up in D.C., they'll talk about it.

00:52:01.000 So there's your power right there.

00:52:02.000 Yeah.

00:52:03.000 Well, here's the thing, you know, in your city, it's usually the local city council, right?

00:52:06.000 Your state determines it.

00:52:08.000 Since this is your capital, are you an American?

00:52:11.000 This is your capital.

00:52:13.000 Nationally, you have a say.

00:52:15.000 How do you want to present our capital to the world?

00:52:18.000 Good news is you can do something about it, and your representatives can, if they're not cowards.

00:52:22.000 Congress can overturn laws.

00:52:24.000 So in 2023, the Senate overturned some new portions of the D.C. criminal code.

00:52:29.000 So this can be done.

00:52:30.000 The 1973 Home Rule Act, it actually established some levels of self-governance for Washington, D.C. So that means that to fully federalize the city, Congress has to repeal it.

00:52:41.000 But they can.

00:52:42.000 Yes.

00:52:42.000 They can.

00:52:43.000 It can't just be undone by a city council.

00:52:45.000 This is the capital of the nation, your nation, and it's an embarrassment.

00:52:50.000 Yeah, I'm sorry.

00:52:51.000 I don't think they should have any self-governance control.

00:52:54.000 There is, I mean, when you look at the crime stats, when you look at the just look at the city itself, you start to wonder like, oh, okay, what are we really doing here?

00:53:03.000 Tucker Carlson made this point, and I don't agree with a lot of what he's saying right now, but he's talking about other world capitals, and he's talking about Moscow specifically.

00:53:11.000 And I get it.

00:53:12.000 It's like a Potemkin city. 0.83

00:53:13.000 Like, I understand it's not all real, right?

00:53:15.000 It's just like Gavin Newsom, whenever they had the Asian communities coming in for that conference where they completely cleaned up the entire city and got rid of all the homeless people. 1.00

00:53:23.000 I understand it's kind of like that, except on a permanent basis in Moscow.

00:53:26.000 But his point's not wrong in that our city doesn't look like the capital city of the greatest nation on earth.

00:53:32.000 It doesn't fit right now.

00:53:34.000 And we've tried it their way long enough.

00:53:37.000 We have to change it.

00:53:38.000 Our capital city does not represent the makeup of this country.

00:53:41.000 No.

00:53:41.000 It doesn't.

00:53:42.000 It represents leftist, leftist elites in power.

00:53:45.000 It is the swamp.

00:53:46.000 And this is what happens when the swamp determines criminal codes.

00:53:50.000 This is what happens when the swamp has that kind of control.

00:53:54.000 And let me ask you, you know, it's how you look at the world.

00:54:00.000 And by the way, the best way to stay in touch, follow me on Rumble, download the Rumble app, follow me there.

00:54:04.000 Don't be beholden to some algorithm.

00:54:06.000 This would never be allowed on YouTube.

00:54:07.000 I had videos removed on YouTube for reciting crime statistics.

00:54:10.000 And they said some other conservatives don't.

00:54:12.000 I said, well, I do.

00:54:12.000 So that's why we stream exclusively live on Rumble now.

00:54:16.000 Let me paint for you a scenario.

00:54:19.000 And this is real because I've had this conversation with individuals, including leftists, conservatives.

00:54:25.000 A mugging is in process or a carjacking, some kind of a violent crime.

00:54:30.000 Okay?

00:54:30.000 The man in question could be someone like Big Balls, right?

00:54:35.000 Has a gun.

00:54:37.000 Let's say there's five perps.

00:54:39.000 There's five, so 10.

00:54:41.000 They come up.

00:54:43.000 They don't hurt him yet, but they say they're going to beat him up.

00:54:45.000 Give me your car.

00:54:46.000 Give me your money.

00:54:46.000 And blam, blam, blam, he shoots them because he's with his woman.

00:54:50.000 Let me ask you this: do you view that man as committing a sin?

00:54:56.000 Or do you view that man as one committing an act of heroism?

00:55:02.000 That's the difference.

00:55:03.000 That's the difference in worldview.

00:55:05.000 When people say, I'm not left or right men, I'm not Republican, ask yourself that.

00:55:09.000 Because if you ask a room full of Democrats, they will not say hero.

00:55:13.000 They'll say, oh, it's a tragedy.

00:55:14.000 I don't believe it.

00:55:15.000 I don't believe that it's a tragedy.

00:55:16.000 I believe that if you put someone in a situation where they could even potentially die, be maimed, or you know what, be hurt in a way that they don't want, you forfeit your right to live.

00:55:28.000 Yep.

00:55:29.000 Yeah.

00:55:30.000 A lot of people just going to say, oh, man, it's a car.

00:55:32.000 No, it's a lesson.

00:55:33.000 Yep.

00:55:34.000 It's an opportunity to make sure the rest of the community knows this is not acceptable behavior.

00:55:39.000 Yeah.

00:55:40.000 Sorry.

00:55:40.000 Do you want a culture where you tiptoe around and acquiesce to criminals?

00:55:45.000 That's what you have in D.C. And not just D.C., by the way.

00:55:47.000 You can look at other leftist strongholds like Memphis, St. Louis, Baltimore, Birmingham, Albuquerque, Detroit, but they're running out of people to kill.

00:55:54.000 Do you want that kind of a city?

00:55:57.000 Or do you want a country where criminals are afraid?

00:56:01.000 They're afraid that they might get shot.

00:56:02.000 They're not afraid of the cops.

00:56:03.000 They're afraid of you, packing heat.

00:56:05.000 And I mean that.

00:56:06.000 That's not a small.

00:56:07.000 Have that conversation.

00:56:09.000 Have that conversation with your friends who are liberal.

00:56:11.000 Paint that scenario.

00:56:13.000 Man is getting mugged.

00:56:14.000 Someone just asks for his car, his watch, his wallet.

00:56:16.000 He's out on the town with his wife.

00:56:19.000 Pulls out his gun and shoots him.

00:56:21.000 Shoots five of them.

00:56:22.000 Make it extreme.

00:56:23.000 They all die.

00:56:25.000 What would you say to that?

00:56:27.000 If their answer is anything other than, well, I'm glad he lived.

00:56:33.000 They don't view America the same way.

00:56:35.000 They don't want to live in the America that you want to live in.

00:56:38.000 You guys get that.

00:56:39.000 There's a huge divide.

00:56:40.000 And I'm not going to try and act like we find common ground on a lie.

00:56:44.000 I want to see criminals blown away if our representatives will not do what they're supposed to do, which is punish them, put them in prison, and make it as uncomfortable as possible.

00:56:55.000 That's great.

00:56:56.000 I hope our government, I hope our police force does that.

00:56:59.000 I hope the authorities do that.

00:57:00.000 If not, I hope that you protect yourself and your kin.

00:57:05.000 And it's not even a sad story to me.

00:57:07.000 It's not.

00:57:08.000 No, it's not.

00:57:09.000 By the way, I have a few more details on what actually happened in this situation, right?

00:57:12.000 So we had Big Balls and I guess his girlfriend or significant other, they were walking to their car.

00:57:18.000 Apparently, these people, he heard a comment about their taking the car or something like that.

00:57:21.000 So he pushed his girlfriend into the car to save her and was then beaten.

00:57:27.000 So obviously they were going to carjack.

00:57:30.000 That's still a hero's move.

00:57:31.000 Of course it is.

00:57:32.000 Local man saves his girlfriend.

00:57:34.000 There's so many ways you can approach this in a positive light.

00:57:37.000 Yeah.

00:57:37.000 And it just makes me wonder why.

00:57:38.000 Why not?

00:57:39.000 Why not approach this in a positive light?

00:57:41.000 Yeah.

00:57:41.000 Why not shine a light on somebody doing something that's selfless in this case, saving his girlfriend?

00:57:46.000 You have no idea what's going to happen to you.

00:57:48.000 Yeah.

00:57:48.000 Assume the worst.

00:57:49.000 And by the way, that's an act of heroic masculinity.

00:57:52.000 When we talk about masculinity and we talk about feminism, you look at that. 0.98

00:57:56.000 Big Balls doesn't look like he's a guy who would intimidate anybody.

00:57:59.000 That is an act of that man fulfilling his duties.

00:58:02.000 All right, I put my life on the line.

00:58:04.000 I'm the one who answers if something goes bump in the night.

00:58:06.000 I'm the one who takes the bullet.

00:58:08.000 He took a beating and made sure that she was safe.

00:58:10.000 I don't care how much he can bench press.

00:58:13.000 That's the kind of masculinity that we should and need to be encouraging.

00:58:18.000 But we can't.

00:58:19.000 Because if that expectation is set, then we also have to have expectations of women. 1.00

00:58:24.000 Because he does that, was a Chris Rux that means dad gets the big piece of chicken.

00:58:28.000 That means that you follow His lead in that relationship.

00:58:31.000 Why?

00:58:32.000 Because he just took a gang beating for you.

00:58:35.000 So what he says goes, happy wife, happy life.

00:58:38.000 Happy king, happy kingdom.

00:58:39.000 How about that?

00:58:39.000 Why?

00:58:40.000 Because I got the shit kicked out of me and you got to basically get a.

00:58:43.000 Is that new?

00:58:44.000 Did you just make that?

00:58:45.000 I haven't heard happy kingdom before.

00:58:47.000 I don't think so.

00:58:48.000 I can't take credit for it, but it's just this whole thing.

00:58:49.000 We've centered everything.

00:58:51.000 This crime policy, it is the byproduct of feminism. 1.00

00:58:55.000 You understand that too.

00:58:56.000 Just like biological men and women's sports. 1.00

00:58:59.000 80-something percent of men opposed it.

00:59:01.000 70-something percent of women supported it. 0.97

00:59:03.000 Slower now.

00:59:05.000 Yeah.

00:59:05.000 Because they go, oh, we're empathetic.

00:59:08.000 Well, let me bring up that picture again of big balls.

00:59:12.000 Bring up that picture.

00:59:13.000 Bring up the picture of a big ball, or was it in the video?

00:59:16.000 I've got it.

00:59:17.000 Oh, I've got an overlay.

00:59:18.000 There you go.

00:59:18.000 There's what your empathy gets you, feminist Democrats.

00:59:21.000 There's your empathy right there on display.

00:59:24.000 Now, that breaks my heart.

00:59:27.000 You know what wouldn't?

00:59:28.000 Every single juvenile suspect looking like that.

00:59:33.000 I would feel zero parts bad.

00:59:35.000 Comment if you agree.

00:59:38.000 Because it's not an equivalency.

00:59:39.000 One guy who didn't deserve it, beaten within an inch of his life, that's terrible.

00:59:42.000 People who mug someone, I don't care if they're in a grave.

00:59:48.000 That's how society always operated.

00:59:50.000 Doesn't mean you go.

00:59:51.000 I am not advocating going out and Charles Bronson death wishing this thing.

00:59:55.000 What I am advocating is that we all have a mind's eye on the culture that we want in this country and that you have these conversations to understand the fundamental difference in the worldview.

01:00:03.000 We understand that human beings are flawed.

01:00:05.000 We understand that human beings are sinful.

01:00:06.000 As a Christian, that's, for me, the only way that we can rectify this.

01:00:10.000 The left views people as inherently good, and maybe they've had some tough breaks.

01:00:15.000 Okay, how do you reconcile that with people who chose that day to go out and carjack innocent civilians and when they didn't get what they wanted, beat a man within an inch of his life for doing nothing more than protecting his woman?

01:00:30.000 They'll say they don't.

01:00:31.000 They'll say, well, that's terrible.

01:00:32.000 Yeah, yeah.

01:00:33.000 Are you going to change the policies?

01:00:35.000 They never do.

01:00:36.000 They never do.

01:00:37.000 Also, for the record, D.C. has never had a Republican mayor.

01:00:41.000 There have been more mayors who have smoked, crack, and/or allegedly killed strippers in the mayor's house than Republicans who have been mayors of D.C. So you cannot try and blame this on us.

01:00:53.000 Hey, Stephen, since we're on the topic of federalizing D.C. and talking about Congress and their powers and stuff.

01:00:58.000 Yeah, I started doing a deep dive into Congress this morning, and I was like, I just kept thinking about how weird-looking these people are.

01:01:06.000 Sure.

01:01:06.000 And I. You made another list, didn't you?

01:01:09.000 Yeah, I made a list.

01:01:10.000 Music.

01:01:11.000 We'll see you next time.

01:01:16.000 All right, Josh, what's the list?

01:01:18.000 So this is this week's top five weirdest-looking members of Congress.

01:01:23.000 Okay, all right.

01:01:24.000 At number five, we have South Carolina Democrat and former king of Wakanda, James E. Clyburn.

01:01:29.000 Wow, that is uncanny.

01:01:30.000 Yeah.

01:01:31.000 That is uncanny.

01:01:31.000 Rest in peace.

01:01:32.000 Cool man, bring up a hold on the overlay until he hits the punchline, okay?

01:01:39.000 At number four, we have Illinois Democrat and former Notre Dame linebacker Nikki Budzinski.

01:01:45.000 Oh, well, yeah.

01:01:46.000 Oh, Jesus.

01:01:46.000 It's a real Budzinski.

01:01:47.000 That's Nikki Budkiss.

01:01:48.000 Oh, Jesus.

01:01:49.000 Looks like Michael Biglia.

01:01:50.000 A little bit.

01:01:52.000 A little bit.

01:01:52.000 All right.

01:01:52.000 Number three, Arizona Democrat and John Hammond's twin brother who fell off the table at birth, Ron Barber.

01:01:59.000 Let me see.

01:02:00.000 Who needs a barber? 1.00

01:02:01.000 That is.

01:02:02.000 I think he has a barber.

01:02:03.000 It's just, it's an anvil.

01:02:06.000 How do you have that flat of a head?

01:02:07.000 Yeah.

01:02:08.000 Was it like his first attempt at clones?

01:02:10.000 I have no idea.

01:02:11.000 That's disconcerted.

01:02:11.000 It's uncanny, though.

01:02:12.000 All right, number two.

01:02:13.000 At number two, Ohio Republican, whose name and head are both screaming, it's a toupee.

01:02:20.000 Troy Balderson.

01:02:21.000 Oh, well, that's unfortunate.

01:02:23.000 Come on.

01:02:24.000 Was ball.

01:02:28.000 I got to look it up and be like, no, that's real.

01:02:30.000 That's a real name.

01:02:31.000 That's real.

01:02:31.000 Just go by a stage.

01:02:32.000 No, the hair is not real.

01:02:33.000 The name is real.

01:02:34.000 The hair is very not real.

01:02:36.000 It was hard to choose a photo.

01:02:38.000 And coming in at number one, South Carolina Republican and lady at the party who just realized she shit her pants, Sherry Biggs. 1.00

01:02:48.000 Yeah.

01:02:50.000 I have to go.

01:02:51.000 That's a nightmare.

01:02:52.000 My right-hand running away.

01:02:55.000 It would just be assumed guilty.

01:02:58.000 She could also look like the last living descendant Of Medusa.

01:03:01.000 She could.

01:03:02.000 She absolutely.

01:03:02.000 All right.

01:03:03.000 Not turning anything to stone.

01:03:04.000 Well, we appreciate the impromptu.

01:03:06.000 This has been Josh made a list.

01:03:08.000 Made a list.

01:03:13.000 And we're going to continue with this and more.
