Louder with Crowder - Trump Declares Iran War Almost Finished: Did we Win? Feat. Guest Prof. Jonathan Zimmerman

00:00:00.000 Dunton, I've never had fun, the hurry ride that says, Someday a boo.

00:00:05.000 And does the same.

00:00:08.000 Never done, I've never had fun, the hurry ride that says, Someday a boo.

00:00:15.000 Do you trust me?

00:00:16.000 Chut up and say to me, Have my now wonderful time, my girl should say, Lamb, father, and does the same. 0.91

00:00:25.000 Chut up and say to me, Have my now wonderful time, your girl should say, Lamb, father, and does the same. 1.00

00:00:31.000 I'm going.

00:00:34.000 I ran away from fruit and I am not going back.

00:00:37.000 Fruit and I am not going back.

00:00:40.000 You should, you should.

00:00:42.000 I ran away from fruit and I am not going back.

00:00:47.000 Let's make some magic.

00:00:53.000 Gasper Gavard.

00:00:59.000 When I husband, give it to the girl. 0.99

00:01:12.000 Gavard.

00:01:15.000 When I husband, give it to the game, gasper Gavard.

00:01:23.000 There's this girl. 0.59

00:01:26.000 I've never fun.

00:01:28.000 Are you that says someday a boon?

00:01:32.000 No time in my life, have you?

00:01:34.000 I've never.

00:01:42.000 I ran away, hump fruit, and I am not going back.

00:01:46.000 Fruit, and I am not going back. 0.97

00:01:49.000 You should, you should hump fruit.

00:01:51.000 I ran away, hump fruit, and I am not going back. 0.69

00:01:54.000 Hump fruit, and I am not going back.

00:01:57.000 Oh, oh, oh, why?

00:02:35.000 your hundred truckets at the bell metrics, and your hundred truckets at the bell metrics.

00:02:42.000 What are you doing?

00:02:43.000 Just play along.

00:02:44.000 Do come to when I need mood.

00:02:44.000 Whoa!

00:02:47.000 Dying.

00:02:49.000 Husband, if you're against Hoggified, bending the last. 1.00

00:02:53.000 Do come to when I need mood. 0.97

00:02:56.000 Dying.

00:02:57.000 Husband, if you're against Hoggified, bending the last. 1.00

00:03:01.000 Do come to when I need mood. 0.97

00:03:12.000 Dying.

00:03:14.000 Husband, if you're against Hoggified, bending the last. 1.00

00:03:22.000 Yes, see, I can kind of do that, but not really.

00:03:25.000 Oh.

00:03:27.000 Yes, I was dancing with my titties.

00:03:30.000 Glad to be with you.

00:03:31.000 Welcome to the lineup live on Rumble, 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Eastern.

00:03:36.000 I believe we're always adding content and some new announcements to be coming.

00:03:39.000 Hey, the ladies are added again. 1.00

00:03:41.000 We're going to talk about today Supergirl.

00:03:43.000 I don't know if attacking your male audience has ever worked.

00:03:46.000 I do know.

00:03:48.000 No.

00:03:50.000 And that we're going to talk.

00:03:51.000 Hey, Iran, maybe coming to a close. 0.76

00:03:53.000 What do you think?

00:03:54.000 Where do you think we are?

00:03:55.000 I said, hey, let's give this three months and then let's evaluate.

00:03:58.000 I believe we're at day 32, so we have some updates and quite, I guess I should say, novelty.

00:04:03.000 Is that a word?

00:04:04.000 Novelty?

00:04:05.000 Probably not.

00:04:06.000 Professor Jonathan Zimmerman is going to be on the show.

00:04:09.000 I am going to be debating him April 10th at UPenn, right around, I believe it's in Philly.

00:04:17.000 Is it in Philly proper?

00:04:18.000 It's right around Philadelphia.

00:04:19.000 It's an awful place, but he's a nice man.

00:04:21.000 Hey, we've had about 10 professors back out.

00:04:24.000 This is 10 years in the making, 10 schools, and we're going to actually show you some of the communications with professors who agreed to do it, PhDs.

00:04:32.000 Ivy League, and then they laid out their demands, and then they backed out.

00:04:36.000 This is the only guy who was willing to show up.

00:04:39.000 Hopefully, we get more who come forward, but let me ask you, why do you think that is?

00:04:44.000 We've always been asking professors at the Change My Minds.

00:04:47.000 That's how it started.

00:04:48.000 We just sort of gave up hope because no one would show up.

00:04:52.000 They were more interested in banning us.

00:04:53.000 We're going to have Zimmerman on to kind of get the lay of the land and tell you guys what to expect.

00:04:57.000 But Iran, Supergirl, Professor Zimmerman, nice guy, but I will not hesitate.

00:05:04.000 Intro.

00:05:17.000 Well, kids, here's another story from Dr. Hoffman's Pretty Stories and Funny Pictures book.

00:05:23.000 This one is the story of Augustus who would not have any soup.

00:05:28.000 Okay?

00:05:30.000 Augustus was a chubby lad. 0.57

00:05:32.000 Fat, ruddy cheeks, Augustus had. 0.97

00:05:35.000 Ooh, that's fat shaming.

00:05:37.000 Well, it gets better.

00:05:38.000 And everybody saw with joy the plump and hearty, healthy boy.

00:05:43.000 See, it's not fad shaming after all.

00:05:45.000 He ate and drank as he was told and never let his soup get cold.

00:05:50.000 But one day, one cold winter's day, he screamed out, Take the soup away.

00:05:57.000 Oh, take the nasty soup away. 1.00

00:05:59.000 I won't have any soup today.

00:06:02.000 I don't know.

00:06:02.000 Something's wrong with the soup, I guess.

00:06:04.000 Next day, now look.

00:06:06.000 The picture shows how lank and lean Augustus grows.

00:06:11.000 Look.

00:06:11.000 See?

00:06:13.000 This could be marketed.

00:06:16.000 Yet though he feels so weak and ill, the fellow cries out still, Not any soup for me, I say.

00:06:25.000 Oh, take the nasty soup away. 1.00

00:06:27.000 I won't have any soup today.

00:06:30.000 Now, you know, this is either some really, really horrible soup or a terribly effective, very marketable weight loss.

00:06:39.000 The third day comes.

00:06:40.000 Oh, what a sin to make himself so pale and thin.

00:06:44.000 Yet when the soup is put on the table, he screams as loud as he is able.

00:06:49.000 Not any soup for me, I say.

00:06:51.000 Oh, take the nasty soup away. 1.00

00:06:53.000 I won't have any soup today.

00:06:57.000 This is just terrible.

00:06:58.000 Look at him.

00:07:00.000 Now the fourth day is come.

00:07:02.000 He scarcely weighs a sugar plum.

00:07:05.000 He's like a little bit of thread.

00:07:07.000 And on the fifth day, he was dead.

00:07:12.000 So, gallon of milk a day.

00:07:16.000 You kids remember that.

00:07:18.000 Gallon of milk a day.

00:08:07.000 Strange animal, drink up the phone.

00:08:14.000 I'm just speeding to school.

00:08:15.000 We have a guest, so we have to get through this.

00:08:17.000 Quick question Which of the Ivy League schools produces the most insufferable subversive communists?

00:08:24.000 You guys comment.

00:08:25.000 Because we reached out to all of them.

00:08:25.000 Let me know.

00:08:27.000 Which one is that?

00:08:27.000 Notre Dame.

00:08:28.000 Oh, I don't think I'm going to.

00:08:30.000 It's not true.

00:08:31.000 What's not true?

00:08:31.000 That's not Ivy League?

00:08:34.000 Ouch.

00:08:35.000 Yowza! 1.00

00:08:37.000 Okay.

00:08:38.000 Whoa! 0.71

00:08:39.000 Poison Ivy League, maybe.

00:08:41.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:08:42.000 What the fuck? 1.00

00:08:42.000 See you at it. 1.00

00:08:45.000 No, I'm just going to let Gerald carry this because he loves to pop in and say nothing.

00:08:45.000 You're not doing that.

00:08:49.000 So I'm like, yeah, go ahead.

00:08:50.000 What's your point?

00:08:51.000 I didn't say nothing.

00:08:51.000 He wanted to make this all about Notre Dame on the out.

00:08:53.000 That was a little jabby.

00:08:54.000 That was actually my fault.

00:08:55.000 No, no, but then it's his fault for making it all Notre Dame centric.

00:08:58.000 Like, you have to have a follow up.

00:09:00.000 I didn't have anything.

00:09:01.000 You got anything to diss the Rangers? 1.00

00:09:03.000 Yeah, you should have been like, you didn't go to college, stupid. 1.00

00:09:06.000 Yeah, that's a good point. 1.00

00:09:07.000 I didn't go to college.

00:09:08.000 Exactly. 0.99

00:09:08.000 I'm an uneducated swine. 0.99

00:09:10.000 Right. 1.00

00:09:10.000 Then you could use your skill set and he could use his skill set, which is harming his knee, and then you could shoot him. 1.00

00:09:17.000 He would probably win. 1.00

00:09:19.000 Put you out of your misery. 0.95

00:09:20.000 Business prize. 0.72

00:09:20.000 That's why you run this. 0.72

00:09:21.000 Captain Morgan, CEO, how are you?

00:09:23.000 I was better before all that.

00:09:24.000 Well, it's going to get better because we got to.

00:09:26.000 It's a lotterwithcreditor.com slash tickets, I believe.

00:09:29.000 Tickets will be available starting noon today for the debate at UPenn.

00:09:32.000 It's not a huge venue, so get those tickets while they last.

00:09:36.000 And of course, there'll be screening to make sure that you are not a terrorist.

00:09:42.000 Some screening.

00:09:43.000 Yeah.

00:09:44.000 Hopefully more than some, Gerald.

00:09:45.000 There's some.

00:09:46.000 I left that to you.

00:09:48.000 Friday, Saturday, April 24th.

00:09:50.000 25th at Comedy Avenue in Lawton, Oklahoma.

00:09:53.000 Maybe let's make sure they're screening there too.

00:09:56.000 Josh Firestein, how are you?

00:09:57.000 No screening.

00:09:58.000 Terrorists welcome at my show.

00:09:59.000 Nice.

00:09:59.000 Oh, man.

00:10:00.000 Yeah.

00:10:00.000 Nice.

00:10:01.000 Yeah.

00:10:01.000 I like to bring the enemy to me.

00:10:03.000 Well, the good news is if you welcome terrorists, it's going to be nothing but white conservative males. 0.95

00:10:03.000 Yeah. 0.95

00:10:08.000 It'll be great crowd work.

00:10:09.000 Yes.

00:10:09.000 It's going to be a lot of fun.

00:10:11.000 Comedian destroys terrorists.

00:10:14.000 Comedian bombs.

00:10:15.000 Just American history ex hecklers. 0.80

00:10:17.000 Means not welcome.

00:10:19.000 I'm up here doing some stuff.

00:10:19.000 What?

00:10:19.000 What are you?

00:10:21.000 All right, before we get to anything else, speaking of universities, researchers at Northwestern University, they designed this prototype robot that can still function.

00:10:29.000 I'm using this term loosely after taking damage.

00:10:33.000 This is when people talk about research on campus, they're talking about stuff like this.

00:10:42.000 It's Bambi.

00:10:45.000 That's more Bambi's mom. 1.00

00:10:46.000 Now we're making robots that are made of robots, which is why I call them metamachines.

00:10:52.000 So these robots are made out of modular parts that are themselves robots.

00:10:59.000 And this means that if one part of the body is lost, it's lost.

00:11:04.000 Not even with much force.

00:11:06.000 It survives.

00:11:07.000 It's weaker than a pinata at a child's party.

00:11:07.000 It continues.

00:11:10.000 So we really wanted to create robots that.

00:11:11.000 There's worse direction than a Roomba.

00:11:14.000 Or a lady. 0.92

00:11:15.000 We evolved these robots to move themselves through the world with a little bit of athleticism.

00:11:22.000 A little athleticism?

00:11:24.000 Than any other module that's been on land, more athletic than any other evolved robot has been.

00:11:32.000 I don't know about that.

00:11:34.000 Do you think these people, do you think they feel like ever, do you think they ever just look up?

00:11:37.000 Like, it's like this guy has been at his workbench since 1998 and looked up.

00:11:41.000 He's like, what's that?

00:11:42.000 What?

00:11:43.000 Chat GPT?

00:11:44.000 When did that happen?

00:11:45.000 I've been working on the robot that does this all this time.

00:11:48.000 I'm using rusty tubes over here.

00:11:50.000 You have robots now that vacuum mop and then empty themselves and hot wash and dry their own mops? 0.98

00:11:56.000 Ah, Crap, it's almost like my research is irrelevant. 0.62

00:12:00.000 It doesn't even do anything, it would fly, it doesn't do anything. 0.98

00:12:03.000 Other robots, like this is the most revolutionary robot, yeah.

00:12:06.000 Other robots do things, yeah, they do stuff.

00:12:09.000 Some build cars, yeah, maybe gets there, yeah, wherever there is.

00:12:12.000 It's like if you hit this thing.

00:12:14.000 With a twig, it can still flop to the nearest place where it'll also flop.

00:12:20.000 The thing's totally malfunctioned in an inch of snow.

00:12:23.000 It's done.

00:12:24.000 Yeah.

00:12:25.000 Like maybe Time Cop can travel back and just like knock that guy out. 1.00

00:12:31.000 Do something because this is stupid. 0.99

00:12:33.000 The good news is when we have to serve our future robot overlords, and you always have to find a weak spot, lightly tap it with a stick. 1.00

00:12:33.000 Hit it with a. 1.00

00:12:41.000 Yes.

00:12:42.000 You'll be aces.

00:12:43.000 Actually, you could just walk at like a halfway brisk pace and get away from it and be fine.

00:12:47.000 Yes, it doesn't even have guns.

00:12:49.000 No, it looks like it has old barrels on it, but it's not even a weapon.

00:12:53.000 It doesn't do anything.

00:12:53.000 If it had guns, it would just be flopping with a musket.

00:12:56.000 Why did it not be accurate?

00:12:57.000 Nothing more.

00:12:58.000 By the way, we also know what inspired how the robot moves.

00:13:02.000 We're making robots.

00:13:04.000 This is Gaia.

00:13:05.000 I'm going to.

00:13:24.000 The 19 other bits that have included.

00:13:25.000 Hey, here's the next thing we want to talk about.

00:13:28.000 So, first off, let me ask you Has there ever been a time where female leads attacking their largely male audience has fared well for the movie?

00:13:37.000 Can you give me a single example?

00:13:40.000 And I get it.

00:13:41.000 I get it.

00:13:42.000 Men can be very competitive, they can be very possessive.

00:13:46.000 Sometimes they can be quite exclusive of women. 0.95

00:13:48.000 And we always know that these masculine problems have always plagued the fan base.

00:13:53.000 Of Supergirl, because that is the latest film where the lead actress is complaining about what a victim she is. 1.00

00:14:00.000 And so if the movie fails, it's actually your fault.

00:14:02.000 It's time for Entertainment Minute.

00:14:13.000 So before I get to the lead actress, Alcock is her, I believe, is her last name.

00:14:19.000 Millie.

00:14:19.000 Millie Alcock.

00:14:21.000 Before I get to her comments here to preemptively excuse the likely failure of the film, it's possible.

00:14:27.000 Let's look.

00:14:28.000 At the trailer, and first just ask yourself, hey, does this seem like it's for me?

00:14:33.000 I'm worried you're not going to find your people.

00:14:35.000 Yeah, well, that's the thing, Clark.

00:14:38.000 I have no people.

00:14:41.000 Well, yeah, Clark.

00:14:42.000 What?

00:14:44.000 Based on how she looks, I think her people live in the sewer. 1.00

00:14:47.000 What can I do?

00:14:48.000 Never seen my dog.

00:14:49.000 This does not look like this is going to end well for you guys.

00:14:53.000 Oh, yeah, I get it.

00:14:54.000 Oh, that's not true, isn't it?

00:14:59.000 Revenge.

00:15:01.000 It won't take your pain away.

00:15:17.000 Aren't you the dips from that dive bar?

00:15:19.000 Funny.

00:15:21.000 That's what I've been calling you.

00:15:23.000 Touche.

00:15:25.000 Oh, that's... that's fun.

00:15:28.000 She's gonna show you how.

00:15:29.000 The lady's going to show you how to do a man's job. 1.00

00:15:32.000 She can, more fast than a locomotive, can leap buildings in a single bend and can stick her whole fist in her mouth. 1.00

00:15:39.000 It's okay.

00:15:40.000 You're going to see how awful she is as a person, so you won't feel bad about it.

00:15:42.000 At least I will say this.

00:15:44.000 You know, watching that, I feel like I've seen that film before.

00:15:46.000 At least it looks better than She Hulk.

00:15:57.000 She shouldn't be collecting disability.

00:15:59.000 That's another job she could do. 1.00

00:16:00.000 She's the Hulk. 1.00

00:16:02.000 Don't worry.

00:16:02.000 Just make her mad.

00:16:03.000 Why she's disabled. 1.00

00:16:05.000 What's your disability?

00:16:06.000 You can expect this kind of content every day, live at 11 a.m.

00:16:09.000 I wonder if the professor is tuning in right now.

00:16:12.000 So, the lead actress, Alcott, here's.

00:16:14.000 Here's the prestige.

00:16:16.000 Word is that this film may not be as successful as people were initially anticipating.

00:16:21.000 I have no idea.

00:16:22.000 Hey, hopefully it's a good film and it does well.

00:16:24.000 But she did say that she expects backlash.

00:16:27.000 Why?

00:16:28.000 Because she's a female superhero. 1.00

00:16:30.000 She said, she sends this to, she gives this interview to Vanity Fair.

00:16:34.000 She said, it definitely made me aware that simply existing as a woman in that space is something that people comment on. 0.91

00:16:42.000 Hold on a second.

00:16:43.000 Existing as a woman, In the space of Supergirl? 0.62

00:16:48.000 We expect that one to be a couple.

00:16:49.000 I mean, it used to be where they would go, Men are sexist. 0.85

00:16:52.000 Like, they don't think there should be a female James Bond.

00:16:54.000 And it was absurd. 0.59

00:16:55.000 And we kind of went, Yeah, you know, Diveston could be a black guy. 0.82

00:16:57.000 Sure, why not?

00:16:58.000 I mean, I just held up.

00:16:58.000 I mean, you know, I prefer a nice white James Bond, but sure, fine, who cares?

00:17:02.000 Now it's like Supergirl.

00:17:03.000 It's clear that men have a problem with existing as a woman in the space of Supergirl.

00:17:09.000 And she went on to say, We have become very comfortable having this weird ownership of women's bodies. 1.00

00:17:15.000 I can't really stop them.

00:17:17.000 I can only be myself.

00:17:19.000 Ownership over women's bodies. 1.00

00:17:23.000 So let me get this straight.

00:17:25.000 Men, or by the way, I'm sure plenty of women who are fans of Supergirl, fans of the franchise, fans of the comic series, if they comment, that's tantamount to them thinking they own your body?

00:17:39.000 Like, have you seen how many write ups there have been about every single male superhero, specifically their workout regimens, what they did to get in shape, the grueling workouts?

00:17:48.000 The diuretics they have to take, the trend balone that they don't tell you about.

00:17:52.000 And she just, you know, she's an average woman there. 1.00

00:17:54.000 Okay, she's Supergirl. 1.00

00:17:55.000 It's really weird.

00:17:56.000 They feel like they own my body.

00:17:58.000 This sounds like someone who is preemptively trying to use the sexism excuse for a film that may not work out that well.

00:18:07.000 There was no controversy.

00:18:08.000 Same thing with Captain Marvel.

00:18:10.000 Same thing that we saw with Star Wars.

00:18:11.000 Same thing with Jennifer Lawrence. 0.95

00:18:12.000 We're going to get to all these examples.

00:18:13.000 Of course, Rachel Ziegler.

00:18:15.000 There would be none if you didn't bring it up.

00:18:17.000 Just say, yeah, I'm excited to play Supergirl.

00:18:19.000 And have you ever heard this from a man where how many women talk about Henry Cavill or they compare the different Chris's?

00:18:25.000 Like, it's just amazing how women think they own our bodies. 1.00

00:18:29.000 It's tough to exist as a man in this space.

00:18:31.000 It's Supergirl.

00:18:32.000 You're a superhero in this superheroine.

00:18:37.000 Just play it.

00:18:38.000 And say, hey, I hope the fans really enjoy it.

00:18:40.000 I had a lot of fun making it.

00:18:41.000 That's what the guys do.

00:18:42.000 Right.

00:18:43.000 Don't complain about anything.

00:18:44.000 She's convoluting it with fans being upset when they replace a man with a woman. 1.00

00:18:49.000 Right.

00:18:49.000 Like a comic book that wasn't, like a character that wasn't man.

00:18:52.000 There was a few shows recently that came out where characters were either made trans, they were either made gay when they weren't, or they were made a woman when they were actually a man.

00:19:00.000 This is super cool.

00:19:01.000 She's been around since the 50s.

00:19:02.000 It's a book written by a guy in the 50s.

00:19:05.000 Yeah.

00:19:06.000 This is just an excuse.

00:19:07.000 We expect it.

00:19:07.000 This is misanthropy.

00:19:08.000 This is someone, this person despises men.

00:19:11.000 She's looking for a reason to blame men for something over which they're blameless.

00:19:17.000 Like men don't, I haven't heard any outrage about this whatsoever until she brought it up.

00:19:22.000 These people, those in Hollywood, They don't like you.

00:19:25.000 They can't stand you.

00:19:26.000 And they will use every opportunity to take pot shots.

00:19:29.000 Case in point, let me give you another example.

00:19:30.000 This is something that we've been hearing quite a bit of from women in the entertainment industry. 1.00

00:19:34.000 Like, it's really hard being an actress.

00:19:37.000 In Hollywood, it's not, it definitely is not a place for women. 1.00

00:19:40.000 What?

00:19:41.000 And especially action heroes.

00:19:43.000 I had Jennifer Lawrence said that prior to the Hunger Games, remember this?

00:19:47.000 There had been no female action leads. 0.96

00:19:50.000 I remember when I was doing Hunger Games, nobody had ever put a woman in the lead of an action movie because it wouldn't work. 0.99

00:19:57.000 We were told girls and boys can both identify with a male lead, but boys cannot identify with a female lead.

00:20:05.000 Oh, absolutely.

00:20:06.000 And it just makes me so happy every single time I see a movie come out that just blows through.

00:20:14.000 Every single one of those beliefs and proves that it is just a lie to keep certain people out of the movies.

00:20:21.000 Well, hold on a second.

00:20:22.000 Proves it.

00:20:23.000 You just talked about, before we get to why this is verifiably untrue, you can check all the references.

00:20:27.000 We make them available every single show, and I'm going to rapid fire them.

00:20:29.000 She said, you know, it's harder for boys to relate to a female leap. 1.00

00:20:32.000 Well, I actually probably agree with that as far as an action hero, right?

00:20:37.000 Young boys, the reason that they're obsessed with monster trucks and dinosaurs, it's just everything else is more powerful than them.

00:20:43.000 So they are looking to the examples.

00:20:46.000 That which is most powerful.

00:20:47.000 That's how young boys think, man, when I get older, I'm going to be big.

00:20:49.000 I'm going to be strong.

00:20:50.000 I won't be picked on.

00:20:51.000 So it's hard for them to relate to women because they know how physically frail they are in comparison to men.

00:20:57.000 But she just said women can relate to male leads. 0.99

00:20:59.000 And so clearly that needs to change.

00:21:01.000 And we're now exposing the truth.

00:21:04.000 What truth?

00:21:05.000 You just said what it is.

00:21:06.000 And by the way, Hunger Games had two.

00:21:08.000 You had female, you had male. 0.81

00:21:10.000 As far as no female action leads, okay, let me disabuse you of this. 1.00

00:21:16.000 Alien.

00:21:16.000 Big one.

00:21:17.000 Kind of a big franchise.

00:21:18.000 Ripley in there.

00:21:18.000 Sarah Connor.

00:21:19.000 Terminator 2, Charlie's Angels, Tomb Raider, both the original and the Redux, Resident Evil, Underworld, and even the original Wonder Woman till you ruined it.

00:21:29.000 Well, she's a guy, so. 1.00

00:21:36.000 Nice.

00:21:36.000 So then they point to this.

00:21:38.000 How delusional.

00:21:38.000 She had to create her own glass ceiling.

00:21:40.000 Right.

00:21:41.000 Probably had men come do it, actually. 1.00

00:21:42.000 Exactly right.

00:21:43.000 Can you fix this?

00:21:45.000 I had to get through, but then I broke it.

00:21:46.000 That's kind of drafty.

00:21:47.000 Do we have any glaziers?

00:21:49.000 Yeah.

00:21:50.000 So they ignore those.

00:21:52.000 And then they want to point to the failures as well, it must just be because of women. 0.99

00:21:56.000 That would be like Ryan Reynolds saying, Yeah, the Green Lantern was a failure because he's a guy.

00:22:01.000 No, there's Deadpool.

00:22:02.000 There's an example of doing it right, doing it poorly.

00:22:04.000 We just gave you examples of plenty of female action leads who did it right, or at least were accepted, were celebrated.

00:22:10.000 And then there are failures like Captain Marvel, She Hulk, Snow White, Star Trek, the Ghostbusters female one, the Rings of Power, Ocean's Eight. 0.82

00:22:19.000 You could look at that and say the common denominator.

00:22:22.000 The common thread is woman, but we just gave you nearly as many examples of female action leads that were successful. 0.99

00:22:27.000 So then let's look.

00:22:28.000 What is the through line with these?

00:22:30.000 Why do you think Captain Marvel, She Hulk, Snow White, Ghostbusters, Rings of Power?

00:22:35.000 What might suggest that one could have predicted their failures?

00:22:41.000 Oh, that's right.

00:22:42.000 Doing exactly what is happening with Alcock now and Supergirl.

00:22:46.000 It never works out well.

00:22:49.000 You've preemptively insulted half of your audience.

00:22:52.000 You know, the half that needs to sign your paychecks.

00:22:54.000 And it doesn't matter what it is.

00:22:56.000 It doesn't matter what.

00:22:57.000 If they don't have a grievance, these feminists in Hollywood will make one up. 1.00

00:23:03.000 This next one is a new one on me, but I would just want to bring this one to your attention because it's a perfect example.

00:23:08.000 Rachel Ziegler, I know, I've talked about her before.

00:23:10.000 Somehow this one eluded me.

00:23:12.000 She said that it was hard growing up as a Latina, she's Polish mostly, because she only saw Eurocentric actresses promoted and that women, Latina women, just typically didn't get that kind of a spotlight.

00:23:27.000 What?

00:23:28.000 When I was younger, my approach to beauty was a lot more shaped by what I was witnessing.

00:23:36.000 Pause.

00:23:37.000 Right.

00:23:38.000 Because the mainstream vision of beauty excludes Latin women.

00:23:46.000 Like, big pieces of media.

00:23:48.000 So it was who was on magazine covers, who was in the beauty commercials, who was in movies, and was considered like the most beautiful movie star at the time.

00:23:57.000 Right.

00:23:57.000 It was definitely very Eurocentric as I was growing up.

00:24:02.000 And being a young Latina, that's hard because not a lot of people looked the way that I did.

00:24:06.000 No, they looked actually Latina.

00:24:07.000 They didn't have eyebrows like I did, they didn't have dark eyes like I did.

00:24:10.000 So as I've grown up, I've really been able to find it within myself, which is really nice.

00:24:17.000 You mean your Polish self?

00:24:19.000 I know, part Colombian, which is basically Spanish.

00:24:22.000 She's mostly European, to be clear. 1.00

00:24:25.000 There's just people on the magazines.

00:24:26.000 Okay.

00:24:27.000 Right, yeah.

00:24:28.000 We needed to break through this glass ceiling. 0.91

00:24:31.000 Because white men, just to be clear, white American men were holding Latino women down. 1.00

00:24:37.000 Like, sure, you ugly piece of shit. 1.00

00:24:38.000 All right, let me give you some examples here. 1.00

00:24:40.000 Okay.

00:24:40.000 Jennifer Lopez, Selma Hayek, Rosie Perez.

00:24:43.000 Penelope Cruz, Rosario Dawson, Eva Longoria, Eva Mendez, Jessica Alba, Sophia Vergara, Michelle Rodriguez, what's the other one?

00:24:50.000 Anna de Armas.

00:24:51.000 By the way, I think six or seven of them were rated most beautiful person alive several years.

00:25:00.000 And historically, this isn't even new, by the way.

00:25:02.000 You can go back to Sophia Loren, you can go back to Raquel Welch, Rita Hayworth, Lupe Velez.

00:25:09.000 Also, just what we're talking about objectively.

00:25:12.000 So here's the thing, right?

00:25:13.000 When people go, men, women, oh, the gender wars. 1.00

00:25:14.000 No, no.

00:25:15.000 Truth does matter, objectively.

00:25:18.000 Is a legitimate grievance as far as discrimination that Latina women have been held down because of their ugliness. 1.00

00:25:27.000 Well, we just gave you the actresses. 1.00

00:25:29.000 It's almost like they're disproportionately represented.

00:25:31.000 Also, 25 Latina women crowned Miss Universe.

00:25:35.000 25!

00:25:37.000 But here's the other problem, though, too.

00:25:38.000 By the way, by the way, in other words, I don't know if you know this, Latina women are pretty much A OK with almost everybody. 1.00

00:25:45.000 Yeah, statements like that got people, like white guys looking at each other like, hey, were you the one that said that bullshit? 0.99

00:25:49.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:25:50.000 You were the one that said that?

00:25:51.000 Which one of you said that? 1.00

00:25:52.000 Stupid shit. 1.00

00:25:53.000 Yeah, which one of guys, come on, we want more of them. 1.00

00:25:56.000 We want more to come out of the woodwork.

00:25:58.000 Have you been to Venezuela?

00:25:59.000 It's like you could just pick, go, you, Miss Universe.

00:26:02.000 Done.

00:26:05.000 Okay, it's a far cry from Poughkeepsie.

00:26:08.000 Here's a nice dress, learn to sing. 0.95

00:26:09.000 Pick any city in Brazil.

00:26:11.000 Yes, they're going to be hot.

00:26:14.000 But here's the thing don't go too far.

00:26:15.000 Don't go too far and say that Latino women tend to be beautiful, which is universally agreed upon, because then you're fetishizing them. 0.86

00:26:21.000 There are a bunch of articles about this too.

00:26:23.000 There's a bunch of articles about people because a lot of men out there fetishize.

00:26:27.000 They like Latina women. 1.00

00:26:30.000 Correct.

00:26:31.000 Correct.

00:26:33.000 Guilty.

00:26:34.000 I mean, yes.

00:26:36.000 Daisy Fuentes, we talked about that.

00:26:38.000 Daisy Fuentes was one growing up.

00:26:39.000 Eva Mendez was another woman. 1.00

00:26:41.000 So Ryan Gosling is.

00:26:43.000 So, okay.

00:26:43.000 There aren't enough Latina women who are represented amongst really the category.

00:26:48.000 The competition is being pretty.

00:26:50.000 That's Miss Universe, and that's being rated most beautiful woman in the world. 0.92

00:26:54.000 Usually, People Magazine or one of those.

00:26:56.000 The competition is being pretty.

00:26:58.000 Latina women tend to win a lot, But that's also a problem because that means that if men prefer Latina women, you know, beautiful, thick hair, olive skin, curves, well, that's a problem. 1.00

00:27:10.000 It's a fetish.

00:27:11.000 You're fetishizing us.

00:27:13.000 And that could lead to sexual assault as well.

00:27:16.000 It is a very Latina thing, though.

00:27:18.000 You don't think I'm pretty?

00:27:20.000 No, stop looking at me.

00:27:21.000 Right, exactly.

00:27:22.000 Exactly, kind of.

00:27:24.000 But they like it because nobody knows what Latinas like more.

00:27:28.000 Than this white guy.

00:27:29.000 I certainly know more than Ziggler. 0.98

00:27:30.000 She's mainly Polish.

00:27:33.000 I love how she said it was Eurocentric and she's European. 0.98

00:27:36.000 Listen, why don't they just shut up and earn it? 1.00

00:27:39.000 That's how this happens.

00:27:40.000 You want to push women's rights, whatever that means, forward a million miles and get more representation? 1.00

00:27:46.000 Shut up, earn it, do a great job, and studios will put more movies with you in the lead than otherwise. 0.53

00:27:54.000 It's like a boxer going, I didn't lose because I wasn't as good. 0.99

00:27:57.000 It's because he's black and I'm white and it's just racism. 0.84

00:28:00.000 No, he hits you hard. 0.98

00:28:01.000 And you fell down unconscious.

00:28:03.000 Also, by the way, the forgotten race that's actually been discriminated against Asians.

00:28:09.000 Let's just look at the most beautiful person.

00:28:11.000 It's very rarely a South Korean.

00:28:13.000 Yeah, they're not about it, they're just getting stuff done despite Lane's votes.

00:28:18.000 Can you imagine a Filipino woman watching that interview?

00:28:20.000 Like, what?

00:28:22.000 What?

00:28:25.000 We've been chasing, we have Spanish names, we were chasing you. 0.98

00:28:28.000 I've been skipped over like 19 times for an average Latina.

00:28:33.000 Granted, she's probably prettier than me because they have a leg up. 1.00

00:28:38.000 Well, you know, in the end, she'll just be fetishized. 1.00

00:28:42.000 So, in conclusion, the feminist left, you wonder why men are like, we're just checking out now. 1.00

00:28:46.000 Take this.

00:28:46.000 Okay, distill it down, apply it to the dating pool.

00:28:49.000 If you're a guy who shows up, and what's your opinion on Supergirl?

00:28:52.000 I don't know.

00:28:52.000 Do you have a problem with it being a woman?

00:28:55.000 Do you realize that there aren't enough Latinas being represented amongst most beautiful people on earth?

00:29:00.000 Well, I don't know about that.

00:29:01.000 But also, do you know that Latinas face an undue amount, a disproportionate amount of discrimination through fetishization because people find them really hot?

00:29:11.000 You're like, what do we want to do here?

00:29:13.000 Do you want to split the bill?

00:29:14.000 Is this over?

00:29:15.000 Yes, I'm done.

00:29:18.000 You guys let me know.

00:29:19.000 Hey, Latina women there, do you think you've been disproportionately represented? 1.00

00:29:22.000 And do you think that Ziggler is going to correct it?

00:29:24.000 How about Alcock?

00:29:25.000 Have you guys thought that you know what Supergirl really needs is not to be a girl and she's ruined it for you?

00:29:32.000 You guys let me know because they need to bring up, generate controversies where they don't exist.

00:29:36.000 And then they'll accuse you of creating controversy by responding.

00:29:40.000 This is to help.

00:29:42.000 You don't have to ruin Star Wars, you don't have to ruin Snow White, you don't have to ruin Miss Universe.

00:29:47.000 Don't change a thing.

00:29:49.000 Keep the bikini contest. 1.00

00:29:50.000 We don't give a shit about your talent show. 0.98

00:29:53.000 I'm sorry you feel so uncomfortable in this space as a woman. 1.00

00:29:56.000 We're going to replace you with a trans woman. 1.00

00:29:57.000 Yes, exactly. 0.90

00:29:58.000 We're going to replace you.

00:29:59.000 This is the one time I'm on board with that.

00:30:02.000 You know what?

00:30:03.000 Let's just play this safe.

00:30:04.000 All right?

00:30:06.000 The next Wonder Woman is going to be a Thai lady boy. 0.99

00:30:08.000 Okay?

00:30:09.000 That work?

00:30:09.000 Everyone happy?

00:30:10.000 Fortunately.

00:30:11.000 I wonder if she's a woman. 1.00

00:30:16.000 Sorry.

00:30:16.000 That is so lazy, Josh.

00:30:18.000 Is it lazy?

00:30:19.000 A little bit.

00:30:21.000 All right, well, Invisible Jet is just a Harley that she can't ride. 0.99

00:30:25.000 It's like when they do the pony thing, she's just not working the clutch like Alan Richson in a fight.

00:30:34.000 I guess Wonder Woman will be.

00:30:36.000 I guess I wonder if I'll be taking the bus.

00:30:39.000 Fortunately for them, a lot of these women, they'll never have to worry about, you know, a mortgage, those in Hollywood, unlike most Americans. 0.95

00:32:44.000 I have quite a few friends who I was just fortunate enough to.

00:32:47.000 Where they were going through purchasing a house and got a good deal on it.

00:32:50.000 Is that an AI Indian voice?

00:32:51.000 I don't know.

00:32:52.000 No, we hired somebody.

00:32:53.000 Honestly, if my choice comes down to an H 1B or AI, I am going AI.

00:32:57.000 Yeah.

00:32:58.000 So let's get to the next conversation.

00:33:00.000 By the way, thank you very much for the raid.

00:33:02.000 You guys, welcome in.

00:33:03.000 We appreciate it.

00:33:04.000 And we'll be sending you on to the next show as well.

00:33:06.000 We're going to talk about Iran.

00:33:09.000 So let me ask you this if Iran ended today, the conflict with Iran, or next couple of days, what would be your verdict?

00:33:16.000 I'm going to go through the.

00:33:19.000 The pros and cons with kind of where we stand right now, but I've tried to be as consistent as humanly possible with this.

00:33:29.000 I said, hey, you know what?

00:33:30.000 I think that President Trump has earned our trust on this at this point.

00:33:34.000 Everyone was saying World War III or Iraq.

00:33:37.000 I said, hey, we may find out over time that that is a comparison, a legitimate comparison, or we may find out that it's not.

00:33:45.000 We brought you examples like Panama, Grenada, to be clear, where we said, there are plenty of examples of conflicts that don't go on that long.

00:33:51.000 So I said, you know what?

00:33:53.000 Let's give it three months.

00:33:54.000 Give it three months, and then we can actually evaluate where we stand.

00:33:59.000 Three months, and we are still on the countdown.

00:34:01.000 I know you have a wrong fatigue.

00:34:02.000 Look, I'm going to stake my claim here.

00:34:04.000 Three months.

00:34:05.000 Okay, how about that?

00:34:10.000 And right now, we are on day 32.

00:34:13.000 32.

00:34:16.000 This is one from the outset.

00:34:17.000 Listen, my mind can be changed.

00:34:19.000 And you've seen it happen in real time 11 a.m. Eastern.

00:34:22.000 Every weekday, you guys can tune in.

00:34:24.000 So we were told, and this is the standard that we need to use here because.

00:34:27.000 I even was just reached, someone reached out from the Telegraph saying, hey, we'd like to talk about sort of the civil war on the right over Iran.

00:34:35.000 I do not think that this is worth a civil war or people impeaching Donald Trump.

00:34:40.000 And the standard by which we have to judge this is there was one side that was screaming World War III, nuclear fallout, and Iraq as the only comparison.

00:34:52.000 Worse than Iraq, yeah. 1.00

00:34:53.000 Worse than Iraq. 1.00

00:34:54.000 It could be, let's say this ends within the three month span.

00:34:58.000 For most conflict, you often have people who are peacekeepers there to help with transition.

00:35:01.000 That's not the same as a quagmire like Iraq over the course of a decade. 0.97

00:35:06.000 But Iraq, World War III, or even people compared it to World War II, saying it's going to be worse than World War II, or it could end up being about as significant as Bosnia Kosovo.

00:35:19.000 Anyone look back on that and go, that's what destroyed America?

00:35:24.000 We were never able to recover from that.

00:35:26.000 And I know there are differences, and I know that it's not a direct comparison, but I think it's a more apt comparison.

00:35:31.000 If this wraps up in the next coming weeks, then Iraq or World War III.

00:35:35.000 Is that fair?

00:35:36.000 Is that a fair statement?

00:35:37.000 Whether you agree with it or not, the declaration that this is World War III or exactly like Iraq, if it ends within the next month or two months or week, would you compare it more to something like Bosnia, Kosovo, other conflicts that were not forever wars?

00:35:53.000 So President Trump spoke with reporters yesterday and he said, and I know he kind of goes back and forth, it's part of a negotiating tactic, that we expect to be out of Iran in Two or three weeks.

00:36:03.000 We knocked out.

00:36:04.000 Excuse me?

00:36:05.000 Pardon me if you're wrong.

00:36:07.000 The U.S. will be gone or done with the war until the war ends.

00:36:09.000 I think we're two or three weeks.

00:36:10.000 We'll leave.

00:36:12.000 There's no reason for us to do this.

00:36:14.000 We're negotiating with them right now.

00:36:16.000 They've been, again, we have had regime change.

00:36:19.000 Now, regime change was not one of the things I had as a goal.

00:36:22.000 I had one goal.

00:36:24.000 They will have no nuclear weapon.

00:36:26.000 And that goal has been attained.

00:36:27.000 They will not have nuclear weapons.

00:36:30.000 But we're finishing the job.

00:36:32.000 And I think within maybe two weeks, maybe a couple of days longer to do the job.

00:36:38.000 But we want to knock out every single thing they have.

00:36:40.000 Now, it's possible that we'll make a deal before that because we'll hit bridges and we've hit some.

00:36:46.000 We'll hit some bridges.

00:36:47.000 We've got a couple of nice bridges in mind.

00:36:50.000 Beautiful bridges.

00:36:51.000 If they come to the table, that'll be good.

00:36:53.000 But it doesn't matter whether they come or not.

00:36:55.000 We've set them back.

00:36:57.000 It'll take 15 to 20 years for them to rebuild what we've done to them.

00:37:01.000 They have no Navy, they have no military.

00:37:04.000 Now, I know what some people are saying, and I understand this is a legitimate criticism or conversation.

00:37:08.000 Well, maybe they weren't anywhere close to nuclear capabilities.

00:37:14.000 Okay, the IAEA did not say that.

00:37:16.000 Iran themselves said, and I get that they lie, so you can't take that at the word. 0.95

00:37:20.000 But again, that was used to be the predicate for, and this is to enrich the military industrial complex, was one, or this is so that we can have a never ending war, a forever war for Israel. 0.71

00:37:30.000 This is doing the bidding of Israel. 0.98

00:37:31.000 We're going to kill everybody. 0.99

00:37:34.000 American soldiers are going to be on the ground. 1.00

00:37:36.000 Your children will die for Israel. 0.99

00:37:38.000 Right?

00:37:38.000 So that was, has that happened?

00:37:40.000 If none of those things happen, and if it's not World War III, and if it's not even comparable to Iraq, Would you say, okay, this is a disagreement, but you know what?

00:37:49.000 It was done.

00:37:50.000 They got out.

00:37:51.000 Seems to me that we have a difference of opinion.

00:37:52.000 These used to be the kinds of conversations over which we could have a disagreement.

00:37:57.000 And you didn't go for impeachment or say that Kamala Harris would be the exact same.

00:38:04.000 Right.

00:38:04.000 And again, this has been always their stated goal, not just ensuring that they cannot develop a nuclear weapon, but ensuring that they don't get to the point where we wouldn't be able to stop them.

00:38:15.000 Meaning, as they work on nuclear weapons, they would have the ability to protect it, create effectively.

00:38:21.000 A protective dome once they get past that point of no return, there's nothing we can do, it's just a matter of time.

00:38:26.000 Rubio reiterated this, talking about how that has been the mission.

00:38:31.000 And if they leave, then that would mean that they were telling the truth.

00:38:35.000 Otherwise, what would be the incentive?

00:38:37.000 Here he is.

00:38:38.000 Many Americans are asking, why did the United States have to attack Iran now?

00:38:43.000 Well, let me explain.

00:38:45.000 Iran wants to have nuclear weapons, of that, there is zero doubt.

00:38:48.000 If what they truly wanted, which is what they claim, is nuclear energy, Well, they could have nuclear energy like all the other countries in the world have it, and that is you import the fuel and you build reactors above ground.

00:38:59.000 That's not what Iran has done.

00:39:01.000 They build their reactors and their facilities deep in mountains away from the public glare, and they want to enrich that material.

00:39:09.000 The same equipment that they could use to enrich material for energy, they could use to quickly enrich it to weapons grade.

00:39:15.000 We were on the verge of an Iran that had so many missiles and so many drones that no one could do anything about their nuclear weapons program in the future. 0.98

00:39:23.000 That was an intolerable risk.

00:39:25.000 Under no circumstances can a country run by radical Shia clerics with an apocalyptic vision of the future ever possess nuclear weapons. 0.97

00:39:32.000 This was our last best chance to eliminate that conventional threat, that conventional shield that they were trying to build.

00:39:39.000 And the president made the right decision to wipe it out now.

00:39:42.000 That is the goal of this operation, to destroy their conventional missiles and their drone program so they can't hide behind it and finally have to deal with the world seriously about never, ever having nuclear weapons. 0.86

00:39:54.000 And I know what people are going to say.

00:39:55.000 Well, they're doing, well, why can't they fix all the problems at home?

00:39:57.000 Did you guys just see the judge who ordered that 900,000 illegal aliens have to be reinstated through the CBP1 app?

00:40:05.000 It's very difficult to do things domestically.

00:40:09.000 I know this is crazy.

00:40:10.000 It's easier to bomb a terrorist regime than it is.

00:40:16.000 To actively get enough of a coalition to deport all illegals in this country. 0.97

00:40:20.000 It shouldn't be that way.

00:40:22.000 Now you're just going to hurt the terrorist feelings.

00:40:24.000 Right.

00:40:24.000 That's true.

00:40:25.000 That's true.

00:40:25.000 And you know what?

00:40:26.000 I'm OK with it.

00:40:27.000 So, according to Intel reports, if this is a forever war, well, about two thirds of Iran's missiles are either destroyed, damaged, or buried, meaning they're not usable.

00:40:37.000 About two thirds.

00:40:38.000 About half of Iran's 60% enriched uranium, well past the 20% sort of point of no return, still buried.

00:40:45.000 That's a problem.

00:40:46.000 Their air defense, 80% destroyed.

00:40:49.000 Their navy, about 92% of their large vessels destroyed.

00:40:53.000 And this is where this is interesting to me.

00:40:56.000 I don't think communication has been great, but I also understand there's information that I can't know as it relates to war and national security.

00:41:03.000 You saw these European allies say, We will not get involved.

00:41:07.000 Even say, We actually now are agreement to allow the United States to set up shop.

00:41:11.000 We're not going to allow that to take place anymore.

00:41:14.000 While it was catastrophic for those in Europe, far more than us, for the Strait of Hormuz to be closed.

00:41:20.000 So, with this now, Donald Trump is able to go, okay, Navy's gone, their Air Force is gone, most of their missiles are gone.

00:41:26.000 They're at this point, we've castrated them effectively.

00:41:30.000 You didn't want to, you guys take care of it.

00:41:33.000 You guys now, you know, you're an ally, start upholding your end of the bargain.

00:41:37.000 There's some value there, there's some real exposure along with these conversations we've had regarding NATO.

00:41:42.000 So, the Strait of Hormuz, let's talk about that.

00:41:44.000 President Trump specifically addressed what is going on there, and I believe we have a clip.

00:41:49.000 Problem with the Strait, a guy can take a mine, drop it in the water, And say, oh, it's unsafe.

00:41:55.000 It's not like you're taking out an army or you're taking out a country.

00:41:59.000 He can drop it.

00:42:00.000 Or he can take a machine gun from the shore and shoot a few bullets at a ship.

00:42:04.000 Or maybe an over the shoulder missile, small missiles.

00:42:10.000 That's not for us.

00:42:11.000 That'll be for France. 0.99

00:42:13.000 That'll be for whoever's using the strain.

00:42:16.000 But I think when we leave, probably that's all cleared up.

00:42:18.000 Today, I heard tremendous numbers of ships were sailing through.

00:42:22.000 From what we're seeing, there are more ships going through right now.

00:42:24.000 We don't know exactly why or how many.

00:42:26.000 He posted.

00:42:27.000 Reiterated that on truth.

00:42:29.000 This is something that, if you guys know, Donald Trump has talked about how the international coalition, they've really just sort of been allowing us to bear the burden.

00:42:39.000 And that can't happen anymore.

00:42:40.000 He wrote All of those countries that can't get jet fuel because the Strait of Hormuz, like the United Kingdom, which refused to get involved in the decapitation of Iran, I have a suggestion for you.

00:42:53.000 Number one, buy from the U.S., we have plenty.

00:42:58.000 And number two, build up some delayed courage, go to the Strait, and just take it.

00:43:03.000 You'll have to start learning how to fight for yourself.

00:43:05.000 The USA won't be there to help you anymore, just like you weren't there for us.

00:43:11.000 Oh, the shoes on the other foot.

00:43:15.000 Iran has essentially been decimated.

00:43:18.000 The hard part is done.

00:43:19.000 Go get your own oil, President DJT.

00:43:22.000 Also, it looks like the UK has answered the call by sending in the Royal Navy to the Strait.

00:43:33.000 Man, I don't even recognize you anymore.

00:43:36.000 No, just really quickly.

00:43:37.000 So, it goes into one of their other leverage points the straight of four moves.

00:43:40.000 If they ever got pushed too far, a deal wasn't going the way they wanted to, they could absolutely shut off the world's oil supply through the straight of four moves.

00:43:48.000 This takes that out.

00:43:49.000 Why do you think we went after 92% of their large boat Navy?

00:43:53.000 Right.

00:43:53.000 Why do you think we did that?

00:43:54.000 Right.

00:43:55.000 Look, it's part of the plan.

00:43:56.000 You may disagree with it, and I understand that, but the comparison, I keep wanting to bring us back.

00:44:02.000 Was Iraq and World War III. 0.86

00:44:05.000 Gas prices went up to $4 a gallon.

00:44:07.000 Terrible.

00:44:08.000 Highest since 2022.

00:44:10.000 Could drop back in a month.

00:44:12.000 But let's compare that to Europe.

00:44:15.000 It's so bad there that their governments essentially told their citizens not to travel.

00:44:21.000 And they also tried to enact this is what they said voluntary demand saving measures with particular attention to the transport sector.

00:44:29.000 40% of Europe's diesel jet fuel comes through that strait.

00:44:32.000 So while it's been very inconvenient for the United States, I'm not happy about gas prices either.

00:44:36.000 That's why I think we need an exit strategy.

00:44:38.000 It is catastrophic for Europe, who failed to, refused to get involved.

00:44:44.000 And I understand, well, they wouldn't have been put in a situation if the United States didn't do it.

00:44:47.000 It was a matter of time, guys.

00:44:48.000 Yes.

00:44:49.000 It was a matter of time, just like it was a matter of time until those in Europe had a problem with Russia and wanted to fund the other side of the war by supporting Ukraine while still purchasing their energy from Russia.

00:45:02.000 Did we not just learn that their missiles were capable of hitting most of Europe?

00:45:05.000 Yes.

00:45:06.000 Yes.

00:45:07.000 You're welcome.

00:45:08.000 So let's go through what would we be looking at if the war ended today, tomorrow, this week?

00:45:14.000 Okay.

00:45:15.000 Here are sort of the pros their missile shield, their nuclear program, setback.

00:45:20.000 To the point where, if they decide to act up again, we could just drop a few airstrikes and set them back again.

00:45:27.000 So, that's a good thing.

00:45:28.000 They're definitely not anywhere near as much of a threat.

00:45:30.000 And I know many people believe that they're not a threat, but okay.

00:45:33.000 The credibility from the United States as far as our threat to act, now they believe it.

00:45:40.000 Remember, we were talking with Iran, talking, They killed many, many, many Americans on multiple occasions. 1.00

00:45:49.000 And we said, we're not going to do this.

00:45:50.000 And instead, what ended up happening was we unfroze billions of dollars.

00:45:53.000 We actually handed them a billion dollars in cash when you look.

00:45:55.000 At the Obama administration.

00:45:56.000 And now we've said, no, you know what?

00:45:58.000 We're not going to go along with you anymore. 1.00

00:46:00.000 We're just going to kill a lot of you. 0.99

00:46:02.000 This also places the onus on our allies who've relied on the United States. 1.00

00:46:05.000 Hey, you are the guys who need this energy.

00:46:07.000 Guess what?

00:46:08.000 You guys need to protect it.

00:46:10.000 Or you can start buying from us.

00:46:12.000 Isn't that crazy that I just said that phrase out loud?

00:46:14.000 Isn't it nuts when you think about it that these European nations are getting energy from Russia, from a strait that's controlled by Iran, instead of Just, hey, displace it, recalibrate, purchase it from the United States. 0.66

00:46:30.000 Not only are you not supporting us, not only are you not paying your fair share with NATO, not only are you not linking arms militarily, but you won't even support this nation financially for something that you already need and are buying anyway.

00:46:47.000 That to me is pretty important, exposes allies and puts them in the hot seat.

00:46:52.000 There are definitely cons.

00:46:54.000 It's unpopular politically.

00:46:56.000 Definitely won't bode well for the midterms, especially when people are saying that no matter what, they will try and convince you that this was a forever war and somehow it just didn't work out.

00:47:03.000 It was going to be World War III.

00:47:04.000 It was Iraq. 0.68

00:47:05.000 You still have people who believe that.

00:47:06.000 Of course, we've had some U.S. service members killed.

00:47:08.000 That's terrible.

00:47:08.000 It's always a tragedy.

00:47:10.000 We've had some instability as far as energy prices.

00:47:12.000 That's terrible.

00:47:13.000 The biggest con, I would say, is the depletion, and Elaine and I were talking about this this morning, of high end offensive and defensive weapon systems.

00:47:21.000 So if there's some other major conflict that takes place right now, we could be caught with our pants down, depending on the scenario.

00:47:28.000 All the more reason for Europe to step up.

00:47:30.000 Hey, we're going to be out of pocket for a while, Europe, so you might have to handle yourself.

00:47:34.000 We're setting our email to auto respond out of office.

00:47:40.000 Defend yourself.

00:47:41.000 Yeah.

00:47:42.000 So that's where we are.

00:47:43.000 Yeah.

00:47:43.000 And like I said, three months, give it three months.

00:47:46.000 Is that reasonable?

00:47:48.000 And do you leave room for if three months from the start of this conflict, we're pretty much out and the goals, the missions that this administration stated? Are mostly accomplished and were not in a forever war.

00:48:03.000 Do you leave room to acknowledge that, okay, maybe not Iraq, maybe not World War III?

00:48:10.000 What I want them to acknowledge is maybe I was wrong again.

00:48:13.000 Maybe Donald Trump, President of the United States, deserves a little bit of, I don't know, the benefit of the doubt from his past statements, from his past actions, from his track record in dealing with these.

00:48:23.000 Maybe he knows a little bit more than you.

00:48:25.000 Maybe he's better at doing this than you are, and not everything is World War III.

00:48:28.000 And by the way, we're going to hold you to what you said.

00:48:30.000 Don't pivot and say, well, it's bad for us in the region now.

00:48:32.000 I know you said that that might happen, but you said troops on the ground.

00:48:35.000 You said worse in Iraq.

00:48:35.000 So just remember that.

00:48:37.000 And hold us three months.

00:48:39.000 What do we think would be a more valid comparison?

00:48:42.000 I would say, you know, like Bosnia and Kosovo, because that's kind of something that.

00:48:46.000 You know, I was obviously really young, but it was largely airstrikes, and then we had people on the ground, and there were some fights, but it was mainly rebuilding right at that point.

00:48:56.000 Peacekeeping.

00:48:56.000 Yeah, peacekeeping.

00:48:58.000 I think that would be more comparable to this current Iran conflict than Iraq, if you're going to pick one.

00:49:04.000 And does anyone say that was the reason for impeachment, and that's what destroyed the United States?

00:49:10.000 The primary difference is that Iran is more of a threat globally than what we were dealing with there. 0.97

00:49:14.000 But I think it's more, yeah, I think it's more apples to apples.

00:49:18.000 And I know that people say collect $7,000 from the Jews, even though I was told that to collect $7,000 from the Jews was because we'd have American blood in the soil of Iran and it would be a forever war.

00:49:27.000 So I don't really know how I'm going to get that Jew money, but, you know, let them know to give me a call. 0.95

00:49:33.000 We might be, by the way, running out of some pretty critical munitions, but that doesn't mean your portfolio has to run out of some of your assets.

00:49:40.000 So go to lwcgold.com, see if you've qualified for a no fees for life IRA.

00:49:45.000 Thanks to True Gold, it's gone up about 77% over the last year.

00:49:48.000 Not saying only buy gold.

00:49:49.000 No.

00:49:49.000 But the news of this stuff right now is pushing everything higher.

00:49:52.000 So, gold included.

00:49:52.000 Yeah.

00:49:53.000 So, check it out.

00:49:55.000 Trump tends to do pretty well in these situations.

00:49:57.000 I think he's speaking tonight at nine.

00:49:58.000 I believe he is.

00:49:59.000 As well to address the nation.

00:50:00.000 So, it could be pretty big news on this.

00:50:01.000 Hopefully, we'll see.

00:50:02.000 Speaking at nine tonight.

00:50:03.000 And I will be speaking actually, a debate.

00:50:07.000 So, Change of Mind started in 2016.

00:50:11.000 Maybe the first one broadcast was 2017.

00:50:13.000 I think we did a test run or two.

00:50:15.000 When we started it, I always wanted to sit down with professors, hoped for it, reached out, never took place.

00:50:21.000 The point where we kind of, okay, we just sort of gave up hope.

00:50:24.000 I guess we'll just have to do this on random streets in downtowns or with students.

00:50:29.000 Sometimes we would do it with, you know, professionals that ended up morphing into black and white and the gray issues.

00:50:33.000 But April 10th at UPenn, I will be, I guess, having hosting.

00:50:38.000 Actually, I'm not hosting.

00:50:39.000 We have a separate moderator.

00:50:40.000 It's.

00:50:40.000 There you go.

00:50:41.000 Yeah.

00:50:41.000 They pick the school.

00:50:42.000 They pick the moderator.

00:50:43.000 They pick the terms.

00:50:44.000 And we will actually have a debate, a discussion.

00:50:48.000 So easy a student can do it.

00:50:50.000 April 10th, UPenn, 7 p.m. Eastern.

00:50:53.000 Change my mind.

00:50:54.000 It's the next chapter.

00:50:58.000 Hey, YouTube, what you're about to watch is a new segment we call Change My Mind.

00:51:02.000 Open campus, a college campus.

00:51:03.000 Sure, it's an open campus.

00:51:04.000 We can do whatever we want.

00:51:04.000 Yeah.

00:51:05.000 You can do whatever you want.

00:51:06.000 You can protest.

00:51:07.000 Any professor, you pick.

00:51:09.000 Any professor.

00:51:10.000 Yeah.

00:51:11.000 Or set up a dialogue how you think it would be best or most fair.

00:51:11.000 And you know what?

00:51:14.000 Forgive me, or your sources.

00:51:16.000 What do you usually read?

00:51:17.000 CNN, Twitter.

00:51:20.000 CNN, Twitter, and a lot of professors probably here.

00:51:22.000 Probably.

00:51:23.000 I think you're somewhat parroting from what you've learned from your professors.

00:51:27.000 And so I don't think.

00:51:29.000 Well, I mean, I would agree with you that.

00:51:31.000 Data from CNN and Twitter and professors is wrong.

00:51:34.000 Liberal professors and students, you've seen it, they start yelling.

00:51:37.000 What statistics are you reading?

00:51:39.000 The statistics of, according to the FBI.

00:51:47.000 We don't have any professors willing to debate.

00:51:47.000 Incorrect.

00:51:49.000 If you know professors here would be willing to, we would be more than happy.

00:51:52.000 Honestly, no, I don't.

00:51:56.000 You've been failed as students.

00:51:58.000 You've been failed.

00:51:59.000 It's time to go straight to the top to the people who failed you.

00:52:04.000 When we started Change My Mind, the idea was back in 2016.

00:52:07.000 The more I went on campus, the more I saw the failures of the institutions.

00:52:11.000 And I want to be really clear about something this was never designed to mock.

00:52:15.000 Denigrate or dunk on students who don't know any better.

00:52:19.000 It was always designed to highlight the failures of the institutions.

00:52:22.000 We're actually going to be starting formal debates with professors at schools.

00:52:26.000 Or we can have a civil dialogue and maybe get to the root cause as to why you've been failed as students.

00:52:39.000 Free speech and why you should give a damn, Jonathan Zimmerman.

00:52:43.000 Why should we give a damn?

00:52:45.000 Well, we should give a damn because free speech has been at the heart.

00:52:48.000 Part of every movement for change in this country.

00:52:51.000 Racial and gender and sexual contemporary perspective.

00:52:54.000 Sex education, I discovered it was precisely the opposite.

00:53:08.000 That's right.

00:53:09.000 Starting noon today, lotoscredit.com slash tickets.

00:53:12.000 We'll be taking some questions from the audience.

00:53:14.000 So just to give you some backstory here 10 schools we reached out to, I believe, eight Ivy League.

00:53:22.000 This is 10 years in the making.

00:53:24.000 10 years we've been trying, and it's been a no no where we decided we're really going to be aggressive to try and get this done because a lot of students would ask us, Why won't you come in and have these conversations with professors?

00:53:33.000 Believe me, we've tried.

00:53:34.000 And in this case, we named it publicly 10 schools.

00:53:37.000 There were two who said, Yeah, I think so, at Berkeley, and then they dropped out.

00:53:42.000 And then we had one at Harvard with a professor.

00:53:45.000 We thought, Oh, okay, great.

00:53:47.000 And then they listed their terms, which are so absurd that you understand this wasn't done in good faith.

00:53:53.000 In the end, we ended up with only one professor. 0.93

00:53:55.000 At UPenn, Jonathan Zimmerman, who was very gracious, accepted it, the only one with the balls to show up.

00:54:00.000 But I'm going to actually show you the terms, the kinds of conversations that had taken place with other professors, so you understand just how much they have tried to avoid and control dialogue.

00:54:12.000 But one did accept.

00:54:25.000 All right, here are the conditions.

00:54:28.000 One professor.

00:54:29.000 At Harvard demanded.

00:54:31.000 I'm going to read these to you.

00:54:32.000 And we've tried to remove any identifying information because lawyers.

00:54:38.000 So they wrote this.

00:54:41.000 They would agree to do it.

00:54:42.000 By the way, your school, you pick the moderator.

00:54:45.000 We've offered suggestions as far as terms, but you guys can actually pick them.

00:54:50.000 Agreed.

00:54:51.000 And then some caveats.

00:54:52.000 Prior to posting or distributing the debate recording, Crowder's team shall provide the participant, meaning the professor, and their designated team with copies of debate recording for review and approval.

00:55:03.000 The Crowder team will not post or distribute debate recording without the participant's prior written approval.

00:55:08.000 I guess the concept of live was lost on them.

00:55:10.000 Yeah, a little bit.

00:55:11.000 At any time after approving debate recording or other event media, the participant, meaning professor, objects to the continued use or distribution of such content.

00:55:18.000 The participant may notify the Crowder team in writing, specifying the content and the basis for the objection.

00:55:24.000 Upon receipt of such notice, the Crowder team shall promptly remove the specified content from all platforms under its control within two business days, provided the objection is made in good faith. 0.99

00:55:36.000 Hey, Harvard professor, can you fuck off enough? 0.98

00:55:42.000 No to all of it. 1.00

00:55:44.000 But this is exactly the kind of teaching that we see with kids.

00:55:47.000 Remember, regretful PNV? 0.98

00:55:48.000 As far as sex, it's rape if you regret it. 0.99

00:55:48.000 Yes. 0.99

00:55:51.000 This person, this professor, teaching kids in an Ivy League, wanted to retroactively remove consent as a term from a live broadcast.

00:56:02.000 What this tells me is that these professors, with the exception of Zimmerman, and I give my hats off to him, all the respect in the world, this professor. Is trying to get away with exactly what they have always gotten away with.

00:56:14.000 Yeah.

00:56:15.000 Anyone here want to argue that that makes sense?

00:56:18.000 Do you think this person isn't controlling this kind of conversation in the classroom on campus?

00:56:23.000 I can tell you they are because we've been banned from campuses from people precisely like that.

00:56:27.000 Welcome to the real world.

00:56:27.000 Yeah.

00:56:28.000 You can't afterwards go, hey, I looked bad.

00:56:30.000 Right.

00:56:31.000 And therefore, I want to remove consent.

00:56:32.000 Just really quickly, I want to clarify the tickets are this afternoon.

00:56:34.000 They will be available.

00:56:35.000 That's what I said.

00:56:36.000 You said noon, so I want to make sure people don't go at noon and look.

00:56:39.000 This afternoon, sorry.

00:56:40.000 This afternoon.

00:56:41.000 Thank you for disrupting my time.

00:56:42.000 Reminder it's the Annenberg Sorry Center for Performing Arts in Philadelphia.

00:56:46.000 Well, back to what I was talking about.

00:56:46.000 All right.

00:56:48.000 Lawyers contact me, so.

00:56:50.000 I get it.

00:56:51.000 Got a lot of owls in there last night.

00:56:53.000 So, this professor doesn't live in the real world.

00:56:53.000 I know.

00:56:57.000 This is kind of the disconnect that hopefully we can address.

00:57:00.000 Imagine anyone who's not a professor or in higher education making these kinds of wild demands in the real world, in actual business dealing.

00:57:16.000 Hey, Gerald.

00:57:18.000 I took a couple days.

00:57:18.000 Yeah.

00:57:20.000 I went over everything I thought about it, and I know what I want to demand for my new contract.

00:57:26.000 All right, shoot.

00:57:27.000 Well, besides all the financial things, I think we're on good terms there.

00:57:31.000 I also want your office.

00:57:36.000 You want to switch offices?

00:57:38.000 That's not what I said.

00:57:39.000 I want your office.

00:57:44.000 You want your office and my office, Josh?

00:57:48.000 Yes.

00:57:49.000 Oh, and the ability to control your mic when we're live on the show.

00:57:52.000 And add sound bites whenever I do this.

00:57:54.000 Okay, listen, Josh.

00:57:55.000 Like, I'm a reasonable guy, right?

00:57:57.000 But I don't think this is going to work out.

00:58:12.000 Wow, art of the deal.

00:58:13.000 That's a pretty good deal, actually.

00:58:14.000 No, no, that is not what we agreed to.

00:58:16.000 You do not have control of my mic.

00:58:18.000 Yes, Gerald, that's exactly what we agreed to.

00:58:20.000 No, no, it is Josh.

00:58:23.000 Yeah, no, Gerald, actually, it does.

00:58:24.000 It looks like he actually does have control of your mic.

00:58:26.000 Watch this.

00:58:27.000 Watch this.

00:58:27.000 Hey, I've been with men and I am not ashamed of that at all.

00:58:31.000 Straight from the horse's mouth.

00:58:32.000 I'm sorry, Gerald.

00:58:33.000 Here you go.

00:58:34.000 I'll take it off.

00:58:35.000 Do this.

00:58:35.000 Yeah.

00:58:36.000 Thank you.

00:58:40.000 I also have the ability to shock him whenever I want.

00:58:42.000 I love that.

00:58:42.000 That's great.

00:58:43.000 I love that.

00:58:44.000 And you know what?

00:58:44.000 Save that.

00:58:45.000 Toolman, save that as a preset so you can get in some of that action, some of the shocking Gerald action.

00:58:50.000 I'm way ahead of you.

00:58:54.000 This is great.

00:58:55.000 I like this.

00:58:56.000 It feels like Ivy League in here.

00:58:58.000 He almost cursed.

00:58:59.000 We do, though, have a.

00:59:01.000 Guests to get to, and everyone we want, of course, welcome him because he has made this possible.

00:59:05.000 The only one.

00:59:07.000 The debate is going to be April 10th, maybe more of a conversation, 7 p.m. at the Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts, UPenn, louderwithcrowder.com, slash tickets.

00:59:15.000 Starting this afternoon, please welcome Professor Jonathan Zimmerman.

00:59:23.000 Oh, sorry, Professor. 0.93

00:59:24.000 There was a stinger playing a silly horseshit before you came on. 0.97

00:59:27.000 Welcome, sir. 0.98

00:59:28.000 Can you see us and hear us?

00:59:30.000 Yes.

00:59:31.000 Thanks for having me.

00:59:32.000 Thank you for being on.

00:59:33.000 I'll keep it because I know we'll be there for an hour and a half, so I won't keep this going on for too long.

00:59:38.000 But I just want people to know you are a professor of history of education, UPenn Graduate School of Education.

00:59:43.000 You've written quite a few books, including Who's America, Culture Wars in the Public Schools, Too Hot to Handle, A Global History of Sex Education, The Case for Contention, Teaching Controversial Issues in American Schools, Campus Politics, What Everyone Needs to Know, Free Speech, and Why You Should Give a Damn.

00:59:58.000 I mean, so many books.

01:00:00.000 Let me ask you why do you think you're the only one who said yes?

01:00:08.000 Well, look, I can't speak for any of my colleagues who said no.

01:00:11.000 All I can tell you is why I said yes, right?

01:00:14.000 And the reason I said yes is because I believe in dialogue across difference.

01:00:18.000 Steve, I'm a liberal Democrat.

01:00:20.000 And I know that you are not.

01:00:20.000 I know.

01:00:22.000 That's true.

01:00:23.000 And that's precisely why we should talk to each other, because that's how I think people learn.

01:00:29.000 I generally don't learn from people I agree with, I learn from people I disagree with.

01:00:33.000 Yeah.

01:00:34.000 And I think that, especially right now with the country so polarized, it's important for people that have different points of view to converse with each other.

01:00:42.000 Yeah.

01:00:43.000 No, I think that's a healthy perspective.

01:00:44.000 I don't learn that much from people who agree with me, but it makes me feel big.

01:00:48.000 Like, I can hurt the little man.

01:00:49.000 So, I like having yes men around me.

01:00:51.000 Well, let me ask you the problem is, I'm reading these books.

01:00:55.000 I'm like, yeah, sure.

01:00:56.000 I agree with it.

01:00:57.000 So, I know some people will be asking, well, why are you having this?

01:01:00.000 It doesn't sound like it'll be much of a debate.

01:01:02.000 And I think we both agree that freedom of speech, I mean, I don't want to put words in your mouth, is paramount, is very important.

01:01:07.000 And, like you said, we're very polarized as a nation.

01:01:09.000 I think maybe where we'll find disagreement, hopefully, in offering solutions, is maybe the root cause of it or where we think we should move forward.

01:01:18.000 Does that seem like how it's going to go?

01:01:20.000 Yes.

01:01:20.000 I agree with that.

01:01:21.000 And on the second point, Steve, one place where we may disagree, and note I said may because I'm not sure, is my own claim that the Trump administration is now restricting free speech in all kinds of harmful ways.

01:01:32.000 I don't debate, or I should say, I don't doubt your essential premise that universities have done a very poor job of both defining and protecting free speech.

01:01:42.000 And they've often been in the place of censoring it.

01:01:44.000 So we agree on that.

01:01:46.000 But we both had moms, and I believe our moms taught us that two wrongs don't make a right.

01:01:52.000 And I believe that the Trump administration has forgotten that and is now engaging in its own forms of censorship.

01:01:58.000 And I know that that is a perspective that someone who is obviously leans more left.

01:01:58.000 Yeah.

01:02:03.000 And again, I never want to miss, but you said you're a classical liberal Democrat.

01:02:06.000 Yeah, I think that'll be a healthy disagreement to have, and we can get into that.

01:02:10.000 My mom did, but she's French Canadian, so she wasn't able to say it.

01:02:12.000 She would treat too wrong in the tree, you're going to go the wrong way.

01:02:17.000 I'd say, okay, mom, I think I get it.

01:02:21.000 But yeah, so.

01:02:24.000 And I don't want, because I don't want you to tip your hand or anything like that, obviously.

01:02:27.000 Would you mind for the audience maybe listing some examples of where you think, you know, two wrongs, the Trump administration really clamping down on freedom of speech?

01:02:36.000 Well, I mean, you know, these executive orders about how schools can't teach this thing called critical race theory, this thing called gender theory, whatever those are, because of course the order doesn't define them.

01:02:48.000 I think that's a terrifying prospect.

01:02:50.000 I can see all kinds of reasons to object to critical race theory, but I can't see a reason for an administration, which, by the way, Has said that schooling should be a state and local concern to issue a White House order clamping down on that kind of expression.

01:03:05.000 That just seems completely hypocritical to me.

01:03:07.000 Okay.

01:03:08.000 No matter what you think about critical race theory. 0.91

01:03:10.000 Yeah, I think it's silly.

01:03:11.000 But I also understand your perspective. 0.93

01:03:14.000 I think that silly ideas should be allowed to be expressed. 0.83

01:03:17.000 So I agree with that.

01:03:18.000 I think the context, I think we probably, there'll be a lot of contextual dialogue regarding freedom of speech where we're discussing the government or we're discussing businesses who maybe perhaps have.

01:03:26.000 Relationships with the government where those lines get blurred.

01:03:29.000 But I agree, I definitely don't want to see it, though.

01:03:32.000 I think that many people on your campus would think that I'm just like a hair shy of supporting a religious oligarchy.

01:03:37.000 It's not true, but it kind of is.

01:03:41.000 Well, look, again, I can't speak for them.

01:03:43.000 I think that there's also been some misrepresentation about the political atmosphere and sentiments on campuses.

01:03:51.000 I think if you watch certain shows, I'm not going to say which ones, you might imagine that it's just all these flaming Marxists.

01:04:00.000 That is not true.

01:04:01.000 It is true that professors lean left, absolutely, but they lean left in like voting for Bernie or Obama.

01:04:08.000 That's different from being a Marxist.

01:04:10.000 By the way, there are Marxists on campus.

01:04:12.000 Yes.

01:04:13.000 But they are a minority.

01:04:14.000 Yeah.

01:04:15.000 So, this idea that we're all these kind of crazy radicals is just false. 0.58

01:04:19.000 What we are are liberal Democrats, which is different from being a crazy radical. 0.88

01:04:23.000 Well, okay.

01:04:24.000 And I think I agree with you on some of those premises and disagree on some, which is, again, we need people to actually show up so they can hear.

01:04:30.000 And I'll just, you know, but just listen, if it comes down the line, it's you or me, I will not hesitate.

01:04:35.000 The problem is these always end up being friendly.

01:04:37.000 It was kind of a debate, but you guys actually were productive.

01:04:40.000 People now look for the clickbait.

01:04:42.000 And that's one thing we don't do here.

01:04:44.000 We provide all of our references.

01:04:45.000 Well, look, I mean, yes.

01:04:46.000 Yes, sorry, go ahead.

01:04:48.000 Steve, I think one other place, just to show my hand, one other place we may disagree is about Trump himself and his behavior.

01:04:54.000 And let me just show my cards here.

01:04:57.000 I am a deep opponent of President Trump, but not because of his policy positions, because I think most of those policy positions are arguable.

01:05:05.000 And when I say arguable, I mean reasonable people can disagree about them. 0.68

01:05:08.000 I think a border wall is a silly idea, but I don't think everybody who wants a border wall is silly.

01:05:14.000 If you think about something like tariffs, we've been arguing about tariffs since Alexander Hamilton.

01:05:18.000 So, my distaste, my loathing for Trump has actually nothing to do with his policy positions.

01:05:23.000 It has to do with the way he flouts the norms of civic dialogue that you were referring to earlier.

01:05:30.000 That's what I object to about Trump.

01:05:32.000 He is the president of the country, and almost every day he does or says something that I believe flouts the norms we need to converse with each other.

01:05:42.000 Yeah.

01:05:42.000 That's why I object to him.

01:05:45.000 I think that's a lot of people hold that position.

01:05:50.000 I think that the norms that we've seen on campus, I mean, you see this from a professor, I think they're at least equally corrosive because I don't think that the norms are corrupt.

01:06:00.000 I agree with that.

01:06:00.000 I mean, here's the bottom line.

01:06:02.000 I agree with you, right? 1.00

01:06:03.000 He calls people morons, dummies, a low IQ, and we call people transphobes and homophobes and misogynists, right? 1.00

01:06:10.000 But it's the same in the sense that it's the substitution of name calling for argument. 1.00

01:06:15.000 But again, two wrongs don't make a right.

01:06:17.000 Just because we've used silly slurs to clamp down on free speech doesn't mean we still.

01:06:22.000 It's the president of the United States doing it.

01:06:23.000 And by the way, he is the president, and that matters too.

01:06:26.000 Like, I'm not the president, right?

01:06:28.000 He is.

01:06:28.000 He's the leader of the nation.

01:06:30.000 Mm hmm.

01:06:31.000 No, I agree with you on that.

01:06:32.000 And I also, you know, I've had my hands full with some of those on the right right now where you're discussing, you know, for example, Iran.

01:06:38.000 I think that there are reasonable positions to be held on both sides of that.

01:06:41.000 To me, we've reached a point when you talk about polarization.

01:06:43.000 Like, I don't know if you were watching earlier.

01:06:45.000 I said, hey, when it started, I said, give it three months.

01:06:47.000 Because everyone was saying World War III, everyone was saying Iraq.

01:06:49.000 I'm like, Iraq isn't the only comparison. 0.78

01:06:52.000 My perspective is there's information I can't know.

01:06:54.000 As it relates to national security, by the way, we would both have to acknowledge that.

01:06:57.000 They can't tip their hand with war.

01:06:58.000 I said, after three months, then we can determine if it's a forever war and if it's impeachment worthy.

01:07:03.000 That's all.

01:07:04.000 And I think that there are reasonable people on both sides.

01:07:07.000 But people saying we are at a nuclear holocaust, it is going to be Iraq, that gets the clicks.

01:07:11.000 And so I really do appreciate you accepting.

01:07:16.000 It'll be a debate, but I think it'll be productive and respectful.

01:07:19.000 And I wish there were more of you out there.

01:07:23.000 Thank you.

01:07:23.000 All right.

01:07:24.000 Yeah. 1.00

01:07:25.000 And by the way, screw you. 1.00

01:07:26.000 Yes, absolutely. 1.00

01:07:27.000 Screw you. 1.00

01:07:27.000 And you're a piece of shit. 1.00

01:07:29.000 By the way, where can people buy said pieces, said piece of shit's books? 1.00

01:07:33.000 Where can they go buy your books? 0.99

01:07:37.000 Jeff Bezos sells them, obviously.

01:07:40.000 All right.

01:07:40.000 And, you know, most Barnes and Nobles do.

01:07:42.000 Yeah.

01:07:43.000 All right.

01:07:44.000 There you go.

01:07:45.000 That is Zimmerman, Professor Zimmerman, the face that Candace Owens sees in her nightmares.

01:07:50.000 Thank you very much.

01:08:04.000 Arena Zrutska, taken down.

01:08:08.000 That's a story that's kind of been on social media, but I think, I don't know that it's been covered at all.

01:08:12.000 And mainstream media.

01:08:13.000 I wonder if it's being discussed in academia.

01:08:15.000 So we are going to cover it.
