Louder with Crowder - USAID Shredding Conspiracy | What Everyone's Getting Wrong with Half Asian Lawyer Bill Richmond

00:00:00.000 Not incredibly unbroken sentence, moving from topic to topic, no one had a chance to interrupt, it was quite hypnotic.

00:00:08.000 *Dial-Ambil* Mr. Diplo.

00:00:31.000 DiPaolo.

00:00:32.000 Doctor who reads at a fifth grade level.

00:00:35.000 DiPaolo.

00:00:36.000 Is that Sicilian?

00:00:38.000 No, it's not Sicilian.

00:00:40.000 It's Italian.

00:00:41.000 Interesting.

00:00:42.000 Mr. DiPaolo, I would like to conduct today for you a Rorschach test.

00:00:48.000 Please tell me what you see when you look at this photograph.

00:00:53.000 That's a vagina.

00:00:55.000 Interesting.

00:00:56.000 What do you see when you look?

00:00:59.000 At this photograph.

00:01:00.000 That's the same vagina.

00:01:02.000 Hmm.

00:01:04.000 Interesting.

00:01:05.000 I would like to try for my one final test, examining this photograph.

00:01:11.000 That's the same vagina.

00:01:12.000 What are we doing here?

00:01:13.000 Mr. DePaulo, it is my formal diagnosis that you are, in fact, obsessed with vaginas.

00:01:20.000 I'm obsessed.

00:01:21.000 You're the one showing me pictures of your wife's box.

00:01:23.000 The joke's on you are not married.

00:01:25.000 This is a picture of a box.

00:01:27.000 From a hobo who I found in East Germany.

00:01:30.000 She was forced to sell her body to feed her family.

00:01:33.000 She now lives in the gutter along with the crabs and silt.

00:01:37.000 And you said she sold her box to mean her vagina or the cardboard box?

00:01:42.000 Mr. DiPaolo, I don't know why you asked me questions to which you already know the answer.

00:01:48.000 Is this a defense mechanism you find yourself using frequently?

00:01:53.000 Absolutely.

00:01:53.000 It's worked out well.

00:01:55.000 I made almost $1,800 on Comedy Lash.

00:01:58.000 And he saw this as a measure for success, the $1,800.

00:02:03.000 For 1,800 times, he had sold a portion of his soul, which he will never yield back.

00:02:10.000 Did I say that out loud?

00:02:12.000 Yes, you did, doctor.

00:03:04.000 No one knows how this one's going to go today.

00:03:06.000 When I was walking in, I saw Elaine the Brain in front of a computer just yelling, No, no, no, no, no, no, no!

00:03:12.000 So, I don't know what's gone wrong.

00:03:16.000 We'll find out.

00:03:16.000 But we'll find out.

00:03:19.000 Enjoy the show.

00:03:19.000 There's a lot that has been going on where it's kind of a grab bag today.

00:03:24.000 A border bill passed almost unanimously.

00:03:27.000 I believe 402 to 1 yesterday.

00:03:30.000 Take a guess who the 1 is.

00:03:32.000 Comment below.

00:03:33.000 Take a guess.

00:03:34.000 Don't cheat.

00:03:34.000 If you're watching this in the archive, just pause and then guess.

00:03:38.000 We're going to get into...

00:03:39.000 We have a Hollywood Minute, but this is about celebrity podcasts.

00:03:41.000 We have Anthony Mackie.

00:03:43.000 We have Michelle Obama.

00:03:45.000 We have...

00:03:46.000 Who else?

00:03:47.000 Oh, Gavin Newsom.

00:03:48.000 We have Snow White.

00:03:50.000 What's going on with Disney?

00:03:51.000 I am convinced that this is a money laundering scheme for politicians.

00:03:55.000 And comment if you think, Gerald disagrees with me.

00:03:58.000 I think the rule should be that no one who is in elected office should be able to have sponsors on a podcast or should be able to have guests who are seeking a position of influence.

00:04:09.000 They can have a conversation with people, but we all know, right, how many politicians offer quid pro quo if we have them on our show?

00:04:15.000 Imagine if you're a governor, right?

00:04:17.000 And it's a really easy way to just have a sponsor come in and pay, oh yeah, we're paying Michelle Obama a million dollars an ad, even though there's only 25 people who watch it.

00:04:25.000 Just like speaking.

00:04:26.000 USAID's out.

00:04:27.000 Podcasts and mattress firms are in.

00:04:29.000 Yes, exactly.

00:04:30.000 Exactly.

00:04:30.000 We're going to be sponsoring a lesbian funk podcast in Serbia, and it'll cost us $18 billion.

00:04:35.000 You see my point?

00:04:36.000 See, Noodles gets it.

00:04:39.000 And we also have a Hardly Legal with my half-vision lawyer, Bill Richman, later on.

00:04:43.000 I know you guys love him.

00:04:43.000 He's going to be back to give us a little bit of a wrap-up.

00:04:45.000 And if at some point today you see this, which I guarantee you will, why are you watching on YouTube?

00:04:51.000 Head on over to Rumble.

00:04:52.000 It's a live show, weekdays, 10 a.m.

00:04:54.000 Eastern, and we do have a major announcement.

00:04:56.000 This Friday, we will be streaming wide.

00:04:59.000 This Friday, the 14th, I believe, at 11.30?

00:05:04.000 11.30.

00:05:04.000 11.30 Eastern.

00:05:06.000 Watch Dan's show prior.

00:05:08.000 Dan's last show.

00:05:09.000 I will say it involves death.

00:05:11.000 Death?

00:05:12.000 Mm-hmm.

00:05:14.000 What legal questions on your mind?

00:05:15.000 Comment below.

00:05:15.000 We'll have them for my half-aging lawyer a little bit later on.

00:05:18.000 Gerald, Captain Morgan, and Funniest Man Alive, Nick DiPaolo, is here.

00:05:22.000 Co-hosts Music Hall.

00:05:23.000 Friday, Friday, Friday.

00:05:25.000 Admonish me.

00:05:26.000 Admonish me because I need it.

00:05:28.000 Admonish me because I deserve it.

00:05:29.000 Do it.

00:05:30.000 He wants it.

00:05:31.000 Friday.

00:05:32.000 Give him what he wants.

00:05:33.000 Friday.

00:05:34.000 Admonish.

00:05:38.000 April 25th.

00:05:40.000 Alright.

00:05:41.000 Doing well, Nick?

00:05:44.000 I have no idea what we are running headfirst into.

00:05:47.000 A whole bunch has changed.

00:05:51.000 It seems like it.

00:05:52.000 Here's one.

00:05:53.000 We wanted to have a dubbing of this, but we can't.

00:05:56.000 So for people listening in audio, go watch this.

00:05:58.000 This is a viral video that tells a sad story of fading love.

00:06:04.000 And I guess it's sort of just captivating the internet as a whole.

00:06:06.000 But, you know, fading love happens, and it's sad.

00:06:09.000 That's why you have to work at it.

00:06:11.000 But the reason for this fading love...

00:06:14.000 I don't want to lead the witness.

00:06:16.000 I think it's probably not for the reasons that the poster had likely intended for you to interpret.

00:06:24.000 See if you can catch what I mean.

00:06:31.000 Pause.

00:06:34.000 He stopped hugging me back.

00:06:35.000 That's because he couldn't get his arms around you.

00:06:39.000 He stopped hugging me back.

00:06:41.000 Well, yeah, because you're nine sizes away from the wedding dress.

00:06:44.000 Continue.

00:06:47.000 Can't reach your back.

00:06:48.000 He literally leans away from me in pictures.

00:06:51.000 Okay.

00:06:57.000 Seeing the picture of when they got married, I guess I understand it more.

00:07:00.000 He leans away from me in pictures.

00:07:02.000 He can't get around you.

00:07:04.000 He can't get close to you.

00:07:05.000 I mean, he can't put the stools that close together.

00:07:07.000 That's just, and I don't know, I don't know what caused this.

00:07:10.000 Might I direct you to the aisle that has the ringdings in the local Piggly Wiggly?

00:07:14.000 Like, I get, and people will say this is wrong, and it's, I don't care.

00:07:19.000 Look, it's one of those, you need to maintain yourselves out of respect for each other.

00:07:25.000 That's a real thing.

00:07:26.000 She was sitting there just watching for eight months.

00:07:29.000 Yes, exactly.

00:07:30.000 Father walked her down the fucking ding-dong aisle to give her away at the wedding.

00:07:36.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:07:37.000 They didn't take it to the wedding.

00:07:39.000 They each had custom eclairs.

00:07:43.000 She also looks like she got way more liberal in some of the things she did.

00:07:47.000 I'm just inferring here.

00:07:48.000 The short hair.

00:07:49.000 Who is here saying the tattoos?

00:07:51.000 No, no one knows.

00:07:52.000 But it's like, I don't know why the love faded.

00:07:54.000 Why is it always just one of those?

00:07:55.000 Because this is another way to blame.

00:07:57.000 He looks miserable.

00:07:58.000 He looks miserable.

00:07:59.000 Take a few guesses.

00:07:59.000 Yes, he does.

00:08:00.000 I'm not saying he's a saint, you know, but you look like a different person.

00:08:05.000 Let me ask you.

00:08:06.000 Don't you think that's part of it?

00:08:07.000 I mean, it used to be, right?

00:08:09.000 People make fun of their grandma and be like, well, you should always be within two sizes of your wedding dress.

00:08:12.000 Oh, shut up, grandma!

00:08:14.000 And she was getting banged more at 95 than you are now because she understood the lay of the land.

00:08:19.000 And if she dies, it's not as much of a tragedy.

00:08:20.000 It's not as much of a tragedy.

00:08:22.000 Gotta be rough on the hips at 95. Well, it's gonna, the coroner's gonna take three hours to wipe the smile off her face.

00:08:29.000 That's right, yeah.

00:08:31.000 She went out happy.

00:08:32.000 It's this idea now that love just happens and if it fades, Oh, it just fades.

00:08:37.000 No, we understand that you have to work at it.

00:08:40.000 And part of that is men are visual creatures.

00:08:42.000 People get sick.

00:08:44.000 But I hate that when they say that.

00:08:46.000 You gotta work at it.

00:08:46.000 I already got a fucking job.

00:08:49.000 Alright?

00:08:50.000 You work at it.

00:08:51.000 Well, imagine this guy.

00:08:52.000 He has to moonlight as a caterer.

00:08:57.000 Hope your next husband's Jersey Mike.

00:09:00.000 Let's grab...

00:09:03.000 Next story here.

00:09:04.000 Oh, okay.

00:09:04.000 This one is fun.

00:09:06.000 This border bill.

00:09:07.000 So this happened, I guess, on Monday.

00:09:10.000 The House passed H.R. 495, and it's a bill that basically forces Customs and Border Protection, the agency, to take action on, because we've now found out this is a problem, on secret tunnels that exist under our border, border and it was voted upon unanimously except for one holdout.

00:09:29.000 Nays are 402.

00:09:33.000 The nays are 1.

00:09:35.000 Two-thirds being in the affirmative.

00:09:36.000 The rules are suspended.

00:09:37.000 The bill is passed and without objection, the motion to reconsider is laid on the table.

00:09:42.000 And I'll get to the holdout.

00:09:45.000 I'm sure you can guess.

00:09:47.000 Pick four names in your head.

00:09:48.000 Yes, it's one of those.

00:09:50.000 But after the vote, the author, Representative Eli Crane from Arizona, he wrote on X. He said, I thought for sure everyone was going to vote yes on my bill this evening.

00:09:59.000 402-1 is still pretty solid, though.

00:10:02.000 I like this guy just for that.

00:10:04.000 That's still pretty good, I guess.

00:10:06.000 And it's like, yeah, but who was it?

00:10:08.000 Rashida Tlaib.

00:10:08.000 It was Rashida Tlaib.

00:10:09.000 Oh my gosh.

00:10:10.000 That was my, that hairy bitch.

00:10:14.000 Unbelievable.

00:10:15.000 Because I'm thinking tunnels, Gaza, Palestinians, she's all for tunnels.

00:10:18.000 I thought, yeah, I thought maybe we were talking about some other member of the squad.

00:10:22.000 But yes, that's your guess.

00:10:23.000 And now it seems like...

00:10:25.000 Crockett is just, I mean, she's outdoing them all.

00:10:27.000 She definitely is trying to out-squad the squad.

00:10:30.000 She walked in and said, hold my Colt 45. From her privileged private school background.

00:10:36.000 How does somebody like that, look what we went from the John Adams and George Washingtons to...

00:10:41.000 Yeah.

00:10:41.000 Betty Crockett.

00:10:43.000 Well, there's quite a bit in between, but yes, that is a very valuable contrast.

00:10:46.000 Imagine Adams to Crockett.

00:10:48.000 Yeah, we've been devolving to that.

00:10:51.000 She's a street hooker.

00:10:52.000 Just imagine that at a meeting, like, well, I believe that we should discuss this.

00:10:55.000 It's like, bitch, you're wearing funny hat and shit.

00:10:57.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:10:58.000 I was wrong.

00:10:59.000 What?

00:11:00.000 Aren't you a Rhodes Scholar?

00:11:02.000 She went to Harvard, something like that.

00:11:04.000 So Rashida Tlaib.

00:11:05.000 Rashida Tlaib is the holdout.

00:11:06.000 Now, people can have disagreeing.

00:11:08.000 Points of view, right?

00:11:10.000 We can find some differences, discuss them, but there's a reason that this was, and this almost never happens unanimous except for one person, and you have to ask why.

00:11:19.000 We are dealing with tunnels under our border.

00:11:22.000 At this point, we're not discussing dreamers.

00:11:25.000 We're not discussing anchor babies.

00:11:27.000 We are discussing what is clearly a national security threat.

00:11:31.000 There's really no other purpose outside of circumventing.

00:11:35.000 Our national security.

00:11:36.000 In case you don't know, Rashida Tlaib is an awful human being.

00:11:41.000 Let's just go through some greatest hits.

00:11:42.000 2016 remember interrupting a trump uh campaign in detroit don't you love how she don't you love how she only jumps once the guy grabs her and She's like walking backwards and then when he touches her, she jumps off.

00:12:04.000 Showing off her big flabby tits.

00:12:06.000 Ew.

00:12:07.000 I'm not kidding you.

00:12:08.000 That's what that was about.

00:12:09.000 I know.

00:12:09.000 Ew.

00:12:12.000 You're both saying the same thing.

00:12:14.000 I know.

00:12:14.000 Damn it, boys.

00:12:15.000 The fight's out there.

00:12:16.000 All right.

00:12:16.000 I'm not fighting.

00:12:17.000 I love her.

00:12:18.000 2019. This one's going to get a nickname.

00:12:20.000 2019, she said she was going to go after President Trump and impeach the MFer.

00:12:26.000 I remember this.

00:12:27.000 And when your son looks at you and says, Mama, look, you won.

00:12:31.000 Bullies don't win.

00:12:32.000 And I said, baby, they don't.

00:12:33.000 Because we're going to go in there and we're going to impeach the mother******.

00:12:37.000 That must be good!

00:12:40.000 And by the way, she was even censured by the House for directly anti-Semitic rhetoric.

00:12:45.000 Well...

00:12:45.000 Come on, it shouldn't...

00:12:47.000 You're surprised that someone named Rashida Tlaib hates the Jews.

00:12:52.000 Tlaib, Tlaib, Tlaib.

00:12:53.000 Is she a senator or congresswoman?

00:12:55.000 What a congresswoman, right?

00:12:56.000 How many times has she gone through...

00:13:00.000 People voting to put her back in.

00:13:02.000 Too many.

00:13:02.000 That's a good question.

00:13:03.000 How the fuck is she still around is my question.

00:13:05.000 Well, she's in an area where there are a lot of people in Michigan who would vote for her.

00:13:08.000 I understand that, but not that much.

00:13:09.000 They have the Muslim call to prayer.

00:13:11.000 Yeah.

00:13:11.000 Broadcast in the community.

00:13:12.000 Yeah, no, I understand that.

00:13:13.000 I understand that, too.

00:13:14.000 But, you know, the Guineas had Mulberry Street.

00:13:17.000 They didn't always vote in it.

00:13:18.000 You didn't organize as well.

00:13:19.000 Yeah.

00:13:20.000 I think the Rascal Flatts sang about that.

00:13:22.000 She also, by the way, she hasn't released a statement.

00:13:24.000 She hasn't released a statement explaining her no vote at all.

00:13:30.000 Don't you think when you're the only holdout, make your stand, make it clear.

00:13:34.000 I'm sure she will at some point in time.

00:13:35.000 It'll make no sense.

00:13:36.000 By the way, in unrelated news, Israeli Defense Forces, they estimate that Hamas dug up to 450 miles of underground tunnels in Gaza.

00:13:45.000 In case people were wondering.

00:13:47.000 That's pretty amazing.

00:13:49.000 That was tough work.

00:13:50.000 What are you doing back there?

00:13:53.000 I'm digging a hole.

00:13:53.000 I'm a digger.

00:13:54.000 Digging for what, Josh?

00:13:55.000 Oh, I just dug a little shortcut tunnel for you to the studio.

00:13:59.000 You're welcome.

00:14:02.000 That's...

00:14:02.000 I actually think this is like a serious compromise to the structural integrity of the foundation.

00:14:08.000 It'll be fine.

00:14:08.000 Just watch your step when you get out of here, alright?

00:14:10.000 Yeah.

00:14:11.000 I don't think that Josh should be...

00:14:13.000 He's not qualified to be building any kind of a tunnel.

00:14:16.000 Well, he's not qualified to build anything at all.

00:14:19.000 And don't worry, we'll get it fixed.

00:14:21.000 I'm sorry.

00:14:22.000 I mean, if I roll back like eight inches, I'm going to just, yeah, this is not safe.

00:14:26.000 You know what?

00:14:26.000 Give it a try.

00:14:27.000 Let's see.

00:14:27.000 No, I don't want to.

00:14:28.000 Digger, please.

00:14:30.000 Meanwhile, in Maine, you know all about this.

00:14:33.000 Maine?

00:14:34.000 Yes, I do, actually.

00:14:35.000 How much time did you spend in Maine?

00:14:36.000 I spent four years, a year in solitary.

00:14:42.000 No, college, four years.

00:14:44.000 Yeah.

00:14:44.000 Did you ever go to Old Orchard?

00:14:46.000 Oh, yes.

00:14:47.000 Did you see all the dirty French Canadians?

00:14:48.000 Yeah, with their little Speedos on, they're 111 years old.

00:14:51.000 Jesus, I threw up in my mouth one time.

00:14:54.000 I didn't realize that Old Orchard was like white trash central, because I grew up and all my relatives in French are like, oh yeah, it's special for summer, we go to Old Orchard.

00:15:04.000 Very nice.

00:15:05.000 And then I found out it's like a permanent carnival.

00:15:09.000 Yeah.

00:15:10.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:15:12.000 I thought it was like the Four Seasons.

00:15:14.000 I sat on a lady's face from Montreal.

00:15:16.000 She was going to guess my weight.

00:15:19.000 Unfortunately, she did it in kilograms.

00:15:21.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:15:22.000 Like 82. 82. Old Orchard.

00:15:28.000 It's very classy, man.

00:15:29.000 That's what I thought growing up.

00:15:31.000 Someone from Maine, comment below.

00:15:32.000 You know, people get shot.

00:15:33.000 That is a beautiful state, I got to tell you.

00:15:34.000 You go up the coast?

00:15:36.000 My God.

00:15:36.000 No, yeah.

00:15:37.000 It's unbelievable.

00:15:38.000 It's just hard to deal with the voices.

00:15:41.000 How are you doing?

00:15:43.000 That was a transition because in Maine, MaineWire just uncovered an interesting video from Maine State Rep.

00:15:51.000 I want to make sure I get this right.

00:15:52.000 Deka Dalek.

00:15:59.000 We Somalis living outside Somalia must always prioritize our country, Somalia.

00:16:06.000 This is not memory TV. And think of developing our country, Somalia.

00:16:13.000 This must be done especially by the Somalis abroad, such as those in the U.S. Hey, let me ask you this.

00:16:19.000 At what point do you consider it...

00:16:23.000 Treason.

00:16:23.000 Are we getting close?

00:16:24.000 Can you guys comment?

00:16:25.000 Is that a gray area here?

00:16:27.000 Someone basically circumventing or kind of subverting our government to try and improve a foreign country at the cost of Americans?

00:16:39.000 Are we getting pretty close?

00:16:41.000 I think that's pretty close.

00:16:43.000 I think it's pretty close.

00:16:44.000 And by the way, if you are doing your best to develop Somalia, you suck at it.

00:16:48.000 Very much.

00:16:48.000 Somalia, to give you an idea, just since 1991, 350,000 to a million people died due to a civil war and famines.

00:16:55.000 Thank God.

00:16:56.000 It's a hotbed of piracy.

00:16:58.000 And by the way, it's the home of Al-Shabaab, an Islamic terror group that controls huge, huge, huge swaths of the country.

00:17:07.000 I will say, though, that being said...

00:17:08.000 She's a pretty effective pirate.

00:17:10.000 This is a pretty good example of pirates.

00:17:11.000 Yes, it is.

00:17:12.000 Was she in Maine, did you say?

00:17:13.000 Yeah, Maine.

00:17:14.000 That thing is in Maine.

00:17:15.000 That's Maine.

00:17:16.000 What more evidence do you need to know that Islam's trying to take over the world?

00:17:19.000 What the fuck is that doing in Maine?

00:17:21.000 Seriously.

00:17:23.000 Are you kidding me?

00:17:24.000 I'm not kidding you.

00:17:25.000 And she's openly saying we have to look out for Somalia first.

00:17:28.000 Could you imagine if she just went to Somalia and said, yeah, yeah, cool, I want to be representative here or whatever, you know, captain of the ship.

00:17:33.000 But we're going to think about America and we're going to take your...

00:17:36.000 Booty, and we're going to give it to United States representatives.

00:17:39.000 But it is piracy.

00:17:40.000 She's gotten on board our ship and taken our stuff.

00:17:43.000 That's true.

00:17:45.000 Why Maine?

00:17:45.000 Who dropped her off in Maine?

00:17:47.000 She couldn't have done that on her own.

00:17:49.000 I don't know.

00:17:50.000 I'd imagine Blackbeard.

00:17:52.000 I don't know who dropped her off.

00:17:53.000 Enough about her sister.

00:17:55.000 Oh, my God.

00:17:58.000 She's dressed like she just came out of a manger.

00:18:00.000 You know, welcome to America.

00:18:03.000 Kneeling next to a lamp for the last 10 years.

00:18:05.000 Stupid bat.

00:18:08.000 Good relationship.

00:18:13.000 Hey, by the way, like we said, major announcement.

00:18:15.000 Tune in after Dan Bongino, or tune in to Dan Bongino.

00:18:18.000 It's his last show on Rumble at 11 a.m.

00:18:23.000 Eastern, and then we are going to be going live around 11.30 this Friday.

00:18:26.000 It's a major announcement.

00:18:28.000 Tune in to Dan Bongino's last show.

00:18:30.000 Show him you love him.

00:18:31.000 This is going to be tomorrow.

00:18:33.000 A lot is going to be.

00:18:34.000 It could be actually the potentially biggest day in the history of this show, and you, Mug Club, which is now Rumble Premium, we're very grateful.

00:18:42.000 A lot of moving pieces, but wow, it's an exciting time.

00:18:46.000 By the way, after one hell of a PR tour, Disney's live-action Snow White is finally, I know, you were wondering, it's going to be hitting movie theaters next week.

00:19:00.000 And that brings us to, you know what, today there's so much to get into culturally, it's time for an entertainment minute.

00:19:16.000 So let's start with now and then I'll give you the then as to why this has been such a disaster for Disney.

00:19:22.000 So, the Snow White star Rachel Zegler, you all know how I feel.

00:19:26.000 She told Vogue Mexico, which I'm kind of surprised that there's Vogue Mexico.

00:19:30.000 I didn't know that either.

00:19:31.000 Are all top 10 fashion tips ponchos?

00:19:34.000 It's semi-formal.

00:19:42.000 A little bit.

00:19:42.000 So.

00:19:43.000 She told Vogue Mexico.

00:19:45.000 I just can't take it seriously.

00:19:47.000 Vogue Mexico.

00:19:48.000 I get it.

00:19:49.000 I know there are some people in Mexico who have helicopters.

00:19:51.000 El Vogo.

00:19:51.000 So Vogue Mexico.

00:19:53.000 She said the controversy over this film was due to...

00:19:56.000 Passion.

00:19:57.000 In case you ever wondered if there are liberal women who refuse to ever take accountability.

00:20:02.000 She said, I interpret people's feelings about this film as passion for it and what an honor to be able to be part of something that people are so passionate about.

00:20:09.000 We're not always going to have the same feelings as everyone around us, meaning the entire viewing public.

00:20:16.000 And all we can do is put our best foot forward.

00:20:19.000 By that you mean entitled and browbeating and proselytizing.

00:20:23.000 It's just...

00:20:25.000 I don't think that Hollywood can ever get it right.

00:20:27.000 But here is Ziegler putting both of her best feet forward.

00:20:30.000 Like a feminist.

00:20:31.000 What was this?

00:20:33.000 Was this Academy Awards?

00:20:34.000 Anyway, feminist Conor McGregor.

00:20:39.000 Who the f*** is that guy?

00:20:44.000 It's a weird walk for a weird broad, and I don't like her.

00:20:46.000 It is, and it's really mean to put her next to Gal Gadot, who's absolutely stunning.

00:20:50.000 Yeah.

00:20:51.000 It's not fair.

00:20:53.000 We argued about that, but...

00:20:55.000 Here's the thing.

00:20:57.000 For those of you who have forgotten right now, yes, this is...

00:20:59.000 So, people are upset and people are not looking to watch this film, Snow White, because they're passionate and she's thrilled to be a part of something and she's just doing her best.

00:21:10.000 Well, okay.

00:21:11.000 You could believe that or you could look at the fact that she has been sabotaging this film for years at this point.

00:21:19.000 Ew!

00:21:20.000 In this sort of pursuit of entitlement.

00:21:24.000 It's no longer 1937, and we absolutely wrote a Snow White that is saved by the prince.

00:21:30.000 She's not going to be saved by the prince, and she's not going to be dreaming about true love.

00:21:34.000 She's dreaming about becoming the leader she knows she can be.

00:21:37.000 Our rights are on the line, folks.

00:21:40.000 Our reproductive rights.

00:21:42.000 Ugh.

00:21:43.000 Come on.

00:21:44.000 Go get Cheshire Cat.

00:21:45.000 Go vote blue.

00:21:46.000 And if you disagree with this sentiment...

00:21:50.000 Just hit the unfollow button.

00:21:52.000 Wow, what a scene.

00:21:53.000 I don't need your business.

00:21:54.000 Thanks.

00:21:55.000 The original cartoon came out in 1937, and very evidently so.

00:21:59.000 There is a big focus on her love story with a guy who literally stalks her.

00:22:06.000 Weird.

00:22:07.000 Weird.

00:22:07.000 So we didn't do that this time.

00:22:09.000 You don't particularly see people who, you know, look like me or are me playing roles like that.

00:22:15.000 So it was definitely, when it got announced, it was a huge...

00:22:18.000 You mean your guess is as good as mine?

00:22:20.000 Trending on Twitter for days because all of the people were angry.

00:22:24.000 And so it was like...

00:22:26.000 You mispronounce passionate.

00:22:28.000 Yes.

00:22:28.000 It was this awakening of...

00:22:30.000 The people that we need to educate.

00:22:30.000 The people that we need to love into awareness.

00:22:35.000 Love them in the right direction.

00:22:37.000 Yeah, because there's nothing more effective than 19-year-olds educating the rest of the voting public while yelling, OK, Boomer.

00:22:44.000 This is someone who is as entitled as...

00:22:47.000 You know, I don't need your business.

00:22:48.000 You know what?

00:22:49.000 Maybe Disney does.

00:22:50.000 Maybe you're a tool.

00:22:52.000 You're a pawn in this film.

00:22:54.000 You didn't write it.

00:22:55.000 You didn't direct it.

00:22:56.000 You have nothing to do with the creation of Snow White.

00:22:57.000 You should shut up and do the job.

00:22:59.000 This is the issue.

00:23:00.000 These people, and this is the difference between a business owner or someone who does very well for themselves in the private sector to become wealthy.

00:23:09.000 This person was born looking a certain way and has a God-given ability to lie for a living.

00:23:16.000 That's really what acting is, to pretend.

00:23:18.000 They didn't earn it the same way, and so it comes with this entitlement.

00:23:23.000 That's the problem.

00:23:24.000 So now she's saying, I just think it's because people are passionate.

00:23:27.000 Also, another slew of problems.

00:23:30.000 The movie went over budget.

00:23:31.000 Went over about $250 million to make the film before marketing.

00:23:37.000 They had the whole dwarf midget issue where they decided they weren't going to have any midget actors.

00:23:43.000 They were having DEI-inspired magical creatures to replace the dwarves.

00:23:47.000 Then you had that Peter Dinklage.

00:23:48.000 Peter Dinklage complained about it.

00:23:50.000 He won on a podcast, and he's like the most famous, successful dwarf ever.

00:23:55.000 And he wouldn't be if he was not a dwarf saying, it makes no sense to me.

00:23:59.000 You're progressive in one way, but you're still making that fucking backwards story about seven dwarves living in a cave together.

00:24:04.000 Have I done nothing to advance the cause for my soapbox?

00:24:07.000 I guess I'm not loud enough.

00:24:08.000 Well, it's hard.

00:24:08.000 We can't hear you.

00:24:09.000 You're down there low.

00:24:10.000 The sound doesn't travel.

00:24:11.000 You're an angry elf.

00:24:11.000 He needs two soapboxes.

00:24:13.000 Yeah.

00:24:14.000 And then Disney said, like, okay, look, we'll split the difference.

00:24:19.000 Some of you want us to hire actual dwarf humans.

00:24:22.000 And then we thought we would have CGI magical creatures.

00:24:25.000 How about this?

00:24:26.000 We'll still offend the dwarves, but we'll CGI dwarves.

00:24:30.000 So we'll guarantee no employment for little people while getting rid of this other component that warranted CGI. It was the worst decision they could possibly make.

00:24:39.000 They tried to do a bunch of different versions, including one where Snow White was a lesbian, one where she didn't need a man and she goes off like a Harold and Maude type thing.

00:24:49.000 Even one, a new version, called Snow White ate the seven dwarves because they wanted to capture that.

00:24:54.000 Oh boy.

00:24:56.000 Wow.

00:24:59.000 Ziegler herself.

00:24:59.000 That was all just a way to get to Photoshop.

00:25:02.000 She complained about the original plot.

00:25:04.000 She was siding with the Free Palestine protesters.

00:25:07.000 Dear God, I've never wanted someone to simply be here on a green card more.

00:25:11.000 She trashed Trump voters nonstop.

00:25:13.000 We actually have one of her posts really quickly.

00:25:16.000 Oh, do we have this?

00:25:17.000 Yeah.

00:25:17.000 All right.

00:25:19.000 Here, let's do this.

00:25:21.000 She hopes Trump supporters find no peace, I think, was one of the highlights of this.

00:25:25.000 It's kind of a long post, boys.

00:25:27.000 Well, they won't if they go to the multiplex this weekend.

00:25:31.000 Another four years of hatred.

00:25:33.000 How do I deal with this?

00:25:35.000 Those people are the people who elect presidents and people who go and pay for the ticket sales.

00:25:40.000 Look, you can have a different opinion.

00:25:41.000 This is about telling you that you are a worse human being for disagreeing.

00:25:47.000 They can't hate you and want your money at the same time.

00:25:50.000 It is an exploitative, abusive relationship.

00:25:53.000 America's relationship with Hollywood has been an abusive relationship.

00:25:56.000 For a long time.

00:25:57.000 That's what it is.

00:25:58.000 People think it just started with Trump.

00:26:00.000 This has been going on forever.

00:26:02.000 That's 60 years.

00:26:04.000 And isn't this appropriation when you take something like Snow White?

00:26:07.000 Yeah.

00:26:08.000 Let's redo the Cosby show with a bunch of albino fucks.

00:26:12.000 I mean, seriously, I'm sick of...

00:26:14.000 They take Elton John songs and they butcher them.

00:26:16.000 Yeah.

00:26:17.000 That's a YouTube dump.

00:26:24.000 Keep it on Rumble.

00:26:26.000 Now...

00:26:26.000 Yes, please.

00:26:28.000 This is also the issue, too, is...

00:26:32.000 It doesn't work.

00:26:33.000 Here's the thing.

00:26:34.000 It doesn't work.

00:26:34.000 Like Nick just said, it's been going on for a long time.

00:26:36.000 Now in the era of social media, these people expose themselves and you're seeing that they don't have the influence they thought they did.

00:26:42.000 There's a very big difference between having a follower or a two-second scan view on X or Facebook and actually having people who care about your perspective, who value your input and are willing to follow.

00:26:55.000 These people do not have that.

00:26:56.000 They don't.

00:26:57.000 The House of Cards is tumbling down.

00:27:00.000 And now the premieres are being scaled back for Disney.

00:27:03.000 They completely scrapped the UK premiere.

00:27:06.000 In Los Angeles, there's going to be no media on the red carpet.

00:27:10.000 They're afraid that they're going to be asking about the Israel-Palestine conflict.

00:27:13.000 Isn't it funny that at the same time Legacy Media complains with investigative journalists and online journalists being allowed into the press pool, they're now shutting out all media.

00:27:23.000 You're seeing this from the left.

00:27:24.000 It's all about trying to control the message because they know that it's been rejected.

00:27:29.000 Disney right now, they're relying on influencers.

00:27:32.000 Very, very limited talk show appearances to promote the film.

00:27:36.000 One source told The Hollywood Reporter they've been going through the motions on Snow White, all but saying, we need to get this thing over with.

00:27:45.000 And from all because of the actress you chose, Disney.

00:27:49.000 You know what?

00:27:51.000 You voting with your dollar helps.

00:27:53.000 I can tell you, voting with your dollar, for example, Mug Club, and you can click that button if you want to join Rumble Premium, $99 a year, $9.99 a month.

00:28:00.000 You can try it.

00:28:00.000 If you don't like it, Don't stay, okay?

00:28:03.000 But we're supported by viewers like you.

00:28:05.000 It helps in that regard.

00:28:06.000 But long-term boycotting, not a temporary boycott of a day, it makes a difference.

00:28:12.000 It changes the cultural landscape where these giant corporations, they don't have the flexibility that people online do.

00:28:19.000 They have to adapt to what they view as American mainstream.

00:28:23.000 They need to know that you are American mainstream.

00:28:25.000 Disney's starting to realize it.

00:28:27.000 It just comes down to whether they want to be a profitable company or Propagandists.

00:28:32.000 And I don't know the answer yet.

00:28:33.000 I do know they have $45 billion in debt.

00:28:37.000 They are struggling.

00:28:38.000 Their theme park attendance is down.

00:28:40.000 Their subscribership is down $700,000 since October 2024. They only have...

00:28:46.000 They don't have anywhere near...

00:28:48.000 I know their cash is down on hand by $8.6 billion, considering their debt of $45 billion.

00:28:54.000 This film would need to make over $400 million to break even.

00:28:58.000 It won't.

00:28:58.000 I guarantee you it will not.

00:29:00.000 They're gonna try.

00:29:01.000 It's the latest in a laundry list of problems for Disney.

00:29:06.000 And we're gonna get to, this also segues into the Michelle Obama podcast, the Anthony Mackie podcast, Gavin Newsom.

00:29:13.000 The landscape has shifted so much.

00:29:15.000 You know, you see on election night, this was the most watched place on earth.

00:29:18.000 Thank you very much.

00:29:19.000 We appreciate it.

00:29:20.000 You could have chosen anywhere.

00:29:21.000 When you put Disney, or when you put Michelle Obama, or when you put...

00:29:26.000 Captain America Light or Captain America Dark.

00:29:29.000 When you put them on the same playing field as everyone else online, they lose.

00:29:34.000 They lose!

00:29:35.000 And that's why you have big tech places like YouTube, Google, once upon a time, of course, Facebook, of course, TikTok, or Apple, Spotify.

00:29:46.000 Not X so much anymore.

00:29:48.000 That's why you see them...

00:29:50.000 Putting their thumb on the scales of the algorithm because they know that these people are not interesting and you don't want to hear from them.

00:29:57.000 And so they try and game the system.

00:29:59.000 Disney is trying to game the system.

00:30:01.000 They've had these problems for a very long time.

00:30:02.000 They've been woke.

00:30:03.000 They've been thrusting this in front of you, shoveling it down your throat.

00:30:08.000 And like Nick said, it's nothing new.

00:30:10.000 Do you remember the Jungle Book when you look back?

00:30:14.000 It was awful messaging.

00:30:15.000 It was basically grooming, and we didn't even realize...

00:30:18.000 Who knew?

00:30:18.000 Here's a clip of the original cartoon Jungle Book.

00:30:23.000 So just try and relax.

00:30:27.000 Yeah.

00:30:29.000 Cool it.

00:30:30.000 Fall apart in my backyard.

00:30:33.000 Because let me tell you something, little wretches.

00:30:36.000 If you act like that bee acts, uh-uh.

00:30:40.000 You're working too hard.

00:30:42.000 Don't work!

00:30:44.000 What?

00:30:44.000 Don't go back to your family!

00:30:46.000 Don't wear pants!

00:30:50.000 And we talked about this, for those of you who are Rumble Premium members, you've already seen this, but we talked about this, and I think that we need to show the entire world.

00:31:00.000 It's actually worse than that.

00:31:02.000 I know you've seen the more recent live-action Jungle Book, but they had done screen tests that were more faithful to the original.

00:31:09.000 The original live-action Jungle Book Boy, I'm sure glad we're spending so much time together.

00:31:29.000 Oh, of course, kid.

00:31:31.000 Stick with me and I'll never steer you wrong.

00:31:33.000 Sure gets lonely out here.

00:31:35.000 Not a parent around for miles.

00:31:37.000 What?

00:31:38.000 Tiger!

00:31:38.000 Not a tiger around for miles.

00:31:41.000 But...

00:31:41.000 How do I become a man?

00:31:43.000 Oh, kid, it's easy.

00:31:45.000 Just...

00:31:46.000 Look for the bare necessities, the simple bare necessities.

00:31:52.000 Forget about your worries and your strife.

00:31:56.000 I mean the bare necessities.

00:31:59.000 Just rest your little head on me.

00:32:01.000 Pretty soon you will feel very nice.

00:32:05.000 Wait, what?

00:32:06.000 Problem?

00:32:08.000 I don't know.

00:32:09.000 Something doesn't seem quite...

00:32:11.000 Right.

00:32:12.000 Oh, no, that's just societal conditioning.

00:32:15.000 You have to forget all that.

00:32:17.000 Let me show you the bare way.

00:32:21.000 Look for the bare necessities.

00:32:24.000 Listen to my recipe.

00:32:26.000 Forget about your home and prior life.

00:32:30.000 I mean the bare necessities.

00:32:33.000 Let me use my extremities.

00:32:36.000 Pretend just for a moment you're my wife.

00:32:39.000 Wait, what?

00:32:41.000 Problem?

00:32:42.000 Wife?

00:32:43.000 Oh, that's just playing pretend, Mowgli.

00:32:46.000 It's...

00:32:47.000 It's fun.

00:32:50.000 It's the bear way.

00:32:53.000 Wherever we wander, wherever we roam, it'll be much farther, far away from home.

00:33:02.000 My body's buzzin' hot for thee I'll teach you about the birds and bees When we're under the stars, romance and take a glance We'll dance no pants and maybe try this wig off Nope I see I've crossed a line

00:33:23.000 We should have seen it We should have seen it all along.

00:33:38.000 Yes.

00:33:43.000 Those perverts.

00:33:45.000 How dare they make that?

00:33:47.000 Do you have days where you feel really bad about yourself?

00:33:50.000 A little bit.

00:33:50.000 So let me ask you this.

00:33:52.000 Is this one of them?

00:33:55.000 What do you think of Disney's live-action adaptations?

00:34:00.000 You fond of Aladdin with Will Smith as a rapping genie?

00:34:04.000 That one was fun.

00:34:05.000 Appropriation.

00:34:07.000 How did that one perform?

00:34:08.000 Yeah, I don't think it did very well.

00:34:10.000 The Beauty and the Beast.

00:34:11.000 This is a true story.

00:34:13.000 I'll give you some inside baseball.

00:34:14.000 Bill Maher, he has a screener to do his show, and I don't think you've ever done his show.

00:34:18.000 Big surprise.

00:34:18.000 Bill Maher likes to have people who are really easy to tee off on.

00:34:21.000 So his booker for the show reached out and was putting me through the process.

00:34:26.000 Now, granted, I know Bill Crystal or David French, so I would have no reason to be on the show.

00:34:31.000 I'm not at that level.

00:34:32.000 But they asked me, like, hey, what would you like to talk about?

00:34:35.000 And this was when the hashtag Oscar's so white was going on.

00:34:38.000 I said, well, you know, I just find it.

00:34:39.000 I don't know.

00:34:40.000 Right now, the number one trend is, Oscar's so white, and I just saw Beauty and the Beast, where Mary J. Blige, in 1740's slavery France, gets to turn into a bookcase while she's a queen.

00:34:50.000 She said, so you want to talk about Disney?

00:34:52.000 What about Russia?

00:34:53.000 I was like, well, what about Russia?

00:34:54.000 Is there something that you know that I don't?

00:34:55.000 And, of course, I was never on the show.

00:34:59.000 That's one thing.

00:35:00.000 It doesn't work.

00:35:02.000 I get it.

00:35:03.000 Matt Damien is Genghis Khan.

00:35:05.000 That's a problem.

00:35:05.000 But we're going to act like people in that era?

00:35:08.000 Would be anything other than Slaves Disney.

00:35:10.000 Come on, pick a lane.

00:35:12.000 They're kind of ruining some of these big names, too.

00:35:14.000 I mean, it's Snow White and the Seven Dwarves.

00:35:16.000 One of the most ubiquitous stories out there, and you're going to take it and ruin it?

00:35:19.000 That's intentional.

00:35:21.000 I don't think they're ruining it on purpose.

00:35:23.000 No, I don't think they're ruining it on purpose.

00:35:25.000 You're a priest.

00:35:26.000 You're wrong.

00:35:27.000 You're wrong.

00:35:28.000 So they're trying to lose money.

00:35:29.000 You're not trying to go out of business, guys?

00:35:32.000 Go ahead, Nick.

00:35:34.000 I made this point before on this show.

00:35:37.000 When you put that much money to something and not expect it to make money, that is propaganda.

00:35:42.000 Like ESPN, they destroyed that brand completely, unless you want to watch a housewife and a Chinese lady.

00:35:48.000 Disney's not in the propaganda business.

00:35:50.000 Can I finish my thing there, Father?

00:35:52.000 I'm not being very Christian when you're interrupting.

00:35:54.000 That was a comma?

00:35:55.000 You've got to tell me these things.

00:35:56.000 Oh my God, you sound like me when I'm fighting with my wife.

00:35:59.000 She's like, I was about to say that.

00:36:00.000 Yeah, but at least she's kept her trim figure.

00:36:02.000 Yes, she has.

00:36:03.000 That right hand will do that.

00:36:04.000 Listen.

00:36:07.000 My point was, before Imbecile interrupted, yeah, they don't care.

00:36:13.000 They blew up ESPN, all right?

00:36:15.000 It's a money-losing property, yet they're still going with it.

00:36:19.000 So I take that as, you know, it's propaganda.

00:36:22.000 We're not looking to make a profit on this.

00:36:24.000 Exactly.

00:36:24.000 Well, they're willing.

00:36:25.000 We would rather break even and make some money.

00:36:29.000 And push this agenda long term than make films that generate the most money.

00:36:33.000 Gerald, how do you get the $45 billion in debt?

00:36:36.000 I think it's worse.

00:36:36.000 I think they think people will actually like the direction that they're going.

00:36:40.000 Nope.

00:36:40.000 Not anymore.

00:36:41.000 They're trying to force people.

00:36:43.000 They're trying to engineer people.

00:36:45.000 Comment below what you think.

00:36:46.000 They're trying to engineer people into liking it, even though they...

00:36:48.000 Well, can we talk about it, Noodles?

00:36:51.000 I don't know if you...

00:36:52.000 Because, Noodles, you were in the machine.

00:36:54.000 You worked for the Beast, right?

00:36:55.000 I worked for ESPN for just shy of a decade.

00:36:58.000 Yeah.

00:36:58.000 I watched this go from ESPN being sports, being kind of guy-centric, you know, something that was what it turned into, and yeah, I watched it turn year after year and get worse and worse, and this Snow White thing has been going on for years.

00:37:14.000 It's just one piece of it.

00:37:16.000 And that's a big reason that he left, and then jumped right back into it.

00:37:19.000 Here's what's changed, though.

00:37:21.000 The only thing that's changed recently, the whole...

00:37:25.000 Trump, the whole Trump effect on this country, you know what I mean?

00:37:29.000 So it's going to get even more severe for them, I would think.

00:37:32.000 That would be a true litmus test if they continue to stay the course with Trump in office.

00:37:38.000 You know what I think it is with President Trump?

00:37:39.000 Think about this.

00:37:40.000 You had George W. Bush, you had Mitt Romney, you had John McCain.

00:37:43.000 I think the real reason that they have the Trump derangement syndrome is because for the first time there's a president, or even, by the way, a nominee, who...

00:37:52.000 Trump far more accurately represents the American voter.

00:37:55.000 In other words, George W. Bush kind of a rhino.

00:37:57.000 When they see Donald Trump, they're like, oh wait, these are the people.

00:37:59.000 We really have to fight back now because we need to make sure they don't think that it's mainstream.

00:38:03.000 The country has platformed Trump, and that means they've platformed you.

00:38:09.000 That's the big difference.

00:38:10.000 That's all it is.

00:38:11.000 We'll see if they make any corrections to it or not.

00:38:13.000 But I think they thought people would go along with this better.

00:38:17.000 For sure there's an agenda.

00:38:18.000 We know that.

00:38:18.000 We've heard the executives talk.

00:38:20.000 For sure they're trying to get people to go that direction.

00:38:22.000 I don't argue that at all.

00:38:23.000 But they also are in the business of making money.

00:38:25.000 They have shareholders to be responsible to.

00:38:26.000 They thought they would make money on this crap.

00:38:29.000 That's why.

00:38:30.000 I think you might be right.

00:38:31.000 And that might be the last.

00:38:33.000 But I think this is the...

00:38:35.000 Hopefully.

00:38:36.000 If it's not, it's solid evidence that they don't care about it.

00:38:39.000 The one thing I was going to say is there's actually documented...

00:38:45.000 Proof?

00:38:45.000 Proof of them saying, like, the fandoms.

00:38:48.000 That's a tough word to find in your repertoire, isn't it, Noodles?

00:38:50.000 The franchises that they took over, things like Star Wars, Marvel, things like that.

00:38:53.000 They've said the fandom is the problem.

00:38:56.000 Yes, exactly.

00:38:56.000 So that's exactly it.

00:38:58.000 Well, I don't disagree with them on Star Wars.

00:39:00.000 Star Wars fans are sometimes the worst.

00:39:02.000 Remember the black woman?

00:39:03.000 I think she worked at Disney.

00:39:04.000 She said, yeah, we gated up.

00:39:06.000 Yeah, yeah, yeah.

00:39:07.000 We gated up.

00:39:08.000 She was laughing about it.

00:39:09.000 And they're losing money left and right in it now, but they don't have the support culturally that they had.

00:39:14.000 They didn't, but they do have a lot of financial backing and influential backing.

00:39:18.000 Here's the thing.

00:39:19.000 They have Hollywood, D.C., yeah, Hollywood, D.C., right, media.

00:39:24.000 All of that has been 90%, by all the statistics we have available to us, left.

00:39:29.000 And we're going to get to these podcasts in a second.

00:39:30.000 Michelle Obama, Gavin Newsom with the podcast.

00:39:33.000 And it's not going to work anymore.

00:39:35.000 That's why they're trying to shut us out.

00:39:37.000 That's why...

00:39:37.000 Do you know that 98% of our...

00:39:41.000 Viewership traffic on YouTube is from you bookmarking.

00:39:45.000 We don't show up in search.

00:39:46.000 We don't show up in browse, suggested.

00:39:48.000 We can reach no new people.

00:39:50.000 We can run no ads.

00:39:52.000 It's basically TV guide viewing.

00:39:53.000 They do that and they still lose.

00:39:55.000 Imagine what it would look like if it was a fair playing field.

00:39:58.000 And by the way, the best way to stay in touch, download the Rumble app.

00:40:01.000 Download the app and follow me on Rumble.

00:40:04.000 We send out notifications, meaning the Rumble app, when we're live.

00:40:07.000 That's it.

00:40:08.000 Rumble.

00:40:08.000 We own live.

00:40:09.000 We've got to get back to an actual community where people can sit down and watch and share something together as opposed to 30-second scrolling because that's what they're banking on.

00:40:18.000 They're banking on you having a shorter attention span and being dumber because the longer the left talks, the less...

00:40:25.000 Incredible.

00:40:26.000 They are.

00:40:27.000 Let's go to this money laundering scheme.

00:40:29.000 I mean, podcasts for all these.

00:40:31.000 It's a fair point.

00:40:32.000 I mean it.

00:40:33.000 I think this whole thing is a...

00:40:34.000 Remember how the Clintons would get a quarter million dollars to speak in front of Goldman Sachs, right?

00:40:39.000 It's just a way to buy influence.

00:40:41.000 It's the same thing with these podcasts now.

00:40:43.000 If you look at Michelle Obama, we're going to get to this in a second.

00:40:46.000 They have these sponsors and they only have a few thousand plays, right?

00:40:49.000 A sponsor can pay, I don't know, a hundred thousand.

00:40:51.000 They can pay whatever.

00:40:52.000 They probably pay a lot.

00:40:53.000 Yeah, if someone's running an audit, they'll go, yeah, but...

00:40:55.000 That's not actually standard for this amount of viewers.

00:40:57.000 They go, yeah, yeah, but we want to be associated with the Obamas.

00:41:00.000 That's another way these people build up their massive wealth.

00:41:03.000 It's not just insider trading, but the revenue and the influence and the coverage that you are seeing from these podcasts, every single actor, every single producer, every single politician has a podcast these days.

00:41:15.000 The influence doesn't match the views.

00:41:18.000 The views are largely fraudulent.

00:41:21.000 That's also why we say, head on over to Rumble because if nothing else, The views are real.

00:41:25.000 And the live viewers are real.

00:41:26.000 Rumble is real.

00:41:28.000 A lot of this is a parlor trick.

00:41:29.000 So, if you didn't know this, Michelle Obama, her brother, Craig Robinson, started a new podcast this week.

00:41:36.000 It's called IMO. And, sorry, that's the wrong podcast, but it's an easy mistake.

00:41:43.000 Easy mistake to make.

00:41:45.000 Here's actually, I believe, the trailer for the podcast.

00:41:48.000 I am Michelle.

00:41:49.000 And I am Craig.

00:41:51.000 And Craig here is my big brother.

00:41:53.000 He's done a lot of everything in life.

00:41:55.000 Business, coaching, basketball, television.

00:41:58.000 He's always been one of the very few people I can turn to whenever I need just about anything.

00:42:05.000 And you all know my sister Michelle, or Mish as our family has always been.

00:42:09.000 Do they?

00:42:09.000 We are so excited for you to listen to our brand new podcast.

00:42:13.000 It's called IMO with Michelle Obama.

00:42:16.000 Wait, wait, wait, wait.

00:42:17.000 Hold on a second.

00:42:18.000 Why is she dressed like she should be digging on the railway like Cool Hand Luke?

00:42:22.000 What is this?

00:42:26.000 Obviously, she's in jail.

00:42:28.000 What this podcast here has is a failure to communicate.

00:42:32.000 To anyone!

00:42:34.000 So, debut episode.

00:42:37.000 Astounding 41,000 plays.

00:42:39.000 No word on the reception on Rumble yet.

00:42:42.000 Here are some...

00:42:43.000 Were you about to say something?

00:42:44.000 I'm just saying, you're right.

00:42:46.000 That's the impetus for money laundering.

00:42:49.000 Also, they looked at the Joe Rogans and the Adam Carollas and said, hey, we don't do this.

00:42:54.000 We've got to get into this.

00:42:56.000 Yeah, I know.

00:42:56.000 That was part of it.

00:42:57.000 That's what they do.

00:42:58.000 But it's not going to work.

00:43:00.000 It's not going to work, but they'll get a ton of money for it.

00:43:02.000 That's small.

00:43:03.000 The difference.

00:43:04.000 Right.

00:43:04.000 Rich people.

00:43:05.000 Yeah.

00:43:05.000 We actually have a list of the sponsors of the show.

00:43:07.000 And again, it makes no sense.

00:43:08.000 So 41,000 plays.

00:43:09.000 On the premiere episode.

00:43:10.000 Usually you actually have a Grace episode.

00:43:12.000 Your first episode, there's that curiosity.

00:43:14.000 So they'll have to chase the clicks and they'll have to have some controversial guests.

00:43:18.000 But outside of that, the numbers will consistently most likely do this.

00:43:21.000 Here are some highlights from the opening episode with Michelle Obama and Craig Robinson.

00:43:26.000 I was a bond trader salesperson in investment banking.

00:43:31.000 Hold on, pause.

00:43:31.000 Pause, pause.

00:43:31.000 He looks like Pinot Noir from the unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.

00:43:36.000 Yeah.

00:43:36.000 Wow.

00:43:37.000 That's who I thought he was.

00:43:38.000 Does he get lipstick on?

00:43:39.000 Another gay black guy.

00:43:41.000 I'm just joking.

00:43:41.000 He has a kid straight as an arrow.

00:43:42.000 Let's go back to the clip of the episode.

00:43:45.000 I was a bond trader, sales person in investment banking and finance and big time job.

00:43:53.000 Really good living.

00:43:55.000 And I was contemplating...

00:43:58.000 Suicide.

00:44:01.000 Stopping that to go be an assistant coach.

00:44:05.000 On a basketball team.

00:44:06.000 He's basically saying, I'm going to go from being a millionaire to working for nothing.

00:44:11.000 So you're a good person.

00:44:13.000 We get it.

00:44:13.000 Which seems to be our overall M.O. Both you and me.

00:44:16.000 What?

00:44:17.000 Pause.

00:44:18.000 Really?

00:44:18.000 That's your M.O.? But instead you decided to start banging a junior senator about whom we knew nothing and became president.

00:44:24.000 So I guess you went a different direction.

00:44:26.000 Let's continue with the propaganda.

00:44:27.000 Keep them company.

00:44:28.000 Well, Barack, you know, he had to adjust to what on time was.

00:44:33.000 Because he was on that island time.

00:44:36.000 Translation, black people are late.

00:44:37.000 When it's time to leave, it's 3 o'clock.

00:44:39.000 He's getting up and going to the bathroom.

00:44:42.000 Dude, dude, like 3 o'clock departure means you've done all that.

00:44:47.000 Just get me out of here.

00:44:49.000 I'm standing with my fox telling these stupid jokes, you know, next to a turkey.

00:44:56.000 So by the time we got to the last year, the last turkey pardoning, they were done.

00:45:01.000 They were just like, I'm out.

00:45:03.000 I'm not going.

00:45:04.000 No, we get it.

00:45:06.000 The kids would rather be doing something.

00:45:07.000 You can't always be smoking weed at Coachella.

00:45:08.000 So, at least, and here's where we get to, I believe it's money.

00:45:13.000 And my opinion is, if you are a current politician, if you're a president, if you're a senator, if you're a governor, you should not be allowed to have sponsorships on a podcast or host people who are seeking.

00:45:25.000 Elected office.

00:45:26.000 Why?

00:45:26.000 It's a problem.

00:45:27.000 Why?

00:45:27.000 I'm telling you exactly why.

00:45:28.000 Because people can use it to funnel money to you.

00:45:30.000 They do.

00:45:30.000 There's arbitration.

00:45:31.000 There's ways to do that already.

00:45:32.000 Why?

00:45:33.000 Also, they can then curry favor as far as policy.

00:45:37.000 It opens you up to all kinds of insider trading.

00:45:40.000 They can already do everything you just said.

00:45:43.000 Great, so make it worse, the reverse Nirvana fallacy.

00:45:45.000 Also, how many politicians reach out to us and go like, hey, if you have us on, we'll do XYZ. That's why we have very, very few of them on.

00:45:51.000 Very, very few of them on.

00:45:52.000 If you are a governor and you have a leg up, where, by the way, you can also get a bunch of funding from either NGOs or these non-profits that prop up this podcast, you can then...

00:46:00.000 Put your hands on the scales as far as the next election for a senator, the next election for a representative of the House.

00:46:06.000 They already do that!

00:46:06.000 They already do all of this.

00:46:08.000 Let governors have podcasts and make millions of dollars in fraudulent advertising and guarantee that they'll maintain a position.

00:46:15.000 Nice strawmanning of my position, but what I was going to say is actually make it public.

00:46:19.000 So I agree with you that this is rife for corruption.

00:46:21.000 Fine, we're on the same page there.

00:46:23.000 Make all of what they get paid from sponsors public.

00:46:25.000 Make all of the associations with any guests public.

00:46:27.000 Because you're saying that they could bring a guest on and tip the scale.

00:46:30.000 They could do that anyway.

00:46:31.000 They could associate with...

00:46:32.000 They could go on somebody else's podcast with this guy and prop him up.

00:46:34.000 I don't think they should be in broadcast.

00:46:35.000 I think if you're going to be a public servant, you should be giving up that other aspect of your life to serve the public.

00:46:40.000 I like them being able to talk directly to the public in this format.

00:46:42.000 They should.

00:46:42.000 You can talk with someone.

00:46:43.000 You can talk to the audience.

00:46:44.000 You can go on.

00:46:45.000 Talk by yourself or answer questions from your voters.

00:46:48.000 Going on there and bumping elbows with other politicians, with other celebrity influencers, and collecting...

00:46:53.000 A podcast isn't much different than a radio show, and we know how liberal radio shows have gone in the past.

00:46:59.000 Well, that's fair.

00:47:00.000 And again, because it's alternative media.

00:47:02.000 They've had a stranglehold on media.

00:47:03.000 But here's the thing.

00:47:05.000 No views, no interest, no fans, but that doesn't change the fact that the sponsorships are top tier.

00:47:12.000 This episode is brought to you by Rivian and Pinesol.

00:47:16.000 This episode of IMO is brought to you by Cologuard, a non-invasive colon cancer screening test.

00:47:23.000 The Cologuard test is a one-of-a-kind way to feel more in control of your colon cancer screening.

00:47:29.000 Oh, I thought he said Cologuard.

00:47:31.000 With none of the prep that's required of a colonoscopy.

00:47:34.000 That didn't work.

00:47:34.000 This episode of IMO is sponsored by Chase Homelending, committed to supporting you all the way home with...

00:47:42.000 Smart digital home-buying tools and resources.

00:47:44.000 Why is he dressed like Dr. Zayas?

00:47:47.000 See that, by the way?

00:47:48.000 Chase.

00:47:49.000 Oh, yeah.

00:47:49.000 Chase, the place that debanked wrong thinkers.

00:47:51.000 Oh, great.

00:47:52.000 Yeah, of course they want to bump elbows.

00:47:53.000 And God knows how much they paid for a podcast that has $40.

00:47:58.000 I bet it was insanely priced.

00:48:00.000 That's bad, right?

00:48:00.000 You want to know how you know it's propaganda?

00:48:02.000 Remember Diageo?

00:48:03.000 They control 80% of the world's advertising?

00:48:05.000 They told Rumble that unless Rumble removed our show, they would never advertise.

00:48:09.000 Even though they didn't have to advertise on our show.

00:48:11.000 Even though they know that views are real on Rumble.

00:48:14.000 It's like magazines for a long time as they were dying.

00:48:17.000 They were just buying up subscriptions from each other so that they could sell magazine ads.

00:48:21.000 I'm telling you, this whole thing is a Ponzi scheme.

00:48:24.000 It's a money laundering scheme.

00:48:26.000 It's going to come out.

00:48:27.000 Mark my words.

00:48:28.000 Mark it for a crowd or call it.

00:48:29.000 Somewhere in the next 10 years, we're going to find out about the corruption and money laundering, funneling, washing that you see in podcasts with celebrities and politicians.

00:48:39.000 But enough about...

00:48:39.000 You think it's going to be around 10 years from now?

00:48:41.000 The industry will, not these people.

00:48:44.000 Radio Free America, come on.

00:48:45.000 It did great.

00:48:46.000 They're going to...

00:48:47.000 They're going to collect a bunch of money and pass...

00:48:49.000 Let's go to Gavin Newsom.

00:48:50.000 So, you know, he's the governor of California, in case you've forgotten.

00:48:52.000 Now he has...

00:48:53.000 Also a podcaster.

00:48:54.000 Yeah, he does.

00:48:54.000 He has enough spare time, apparently, when he's not paying for brawn busts of himself.

00:48:58.000 That's true.

00:48:59.000 Exactly.

00:49:00.000 So according to the podcast description, it's time to have honest discussions with people that agree and disagree with us.

00:49:06.000 It's time to answer the hard questions and be open to criticism and debate without demeaning or dehumanizing.

00:49:13.000 One other.

00:49:14.000 Did he write one other?

00:49:17.000 I don't know.

00:49:17.000 It could be a typo here.

00:49:19.000 So, here's something.

00:49:20.000 You just said the key word in there is honest.

00:49:23.000 Honest.

00:49:24.000 Alright.

00:49:25.000 I'm going to have a rapid fire fact check for you because this one is...

00:49:29.000 Whoa.

00:49:31.000 It's one that is so bad, the claims that he makes, especially when you take into account the description that he added with more false claims.

00:49:38.000 I woke up and I asked myself, did I dream that?

00:49:42.000 Did I dream that?

00:49:42.000 He didn't actually say that, did he?

00:49:44.000 No, no.

00:49:44.000 He actually did.

00:49:45.000 Gavin Newsom claimed with, I believe, McSavage on the show that Florida taxes are actually overall higher than California.

00:49:55.000 He was saying, actually, California, we actually have lower taxes on middle-class Californians.

00:49:59.000 And actually, the quality of life and cost of living is better in California.

00:50:02.000 Well, you know what?

00:50:02.000 Don't take my word for it.

00:50:04.000 Here he is actually saying this with a straight face.

00:50:07.000 We have the highest tax rate, but not the highest taxes in America.

00:50:11.000 Who has the highest state tax?

00:50:12.000 Tax rate.

00:50:14.000 The vast majority of people are not you.

00:50:15.000 They're not the 1%, which means 99% of other people...

00:50:18.000 I'm subsidizing them.

00:50:20.000 No, but at the end...

00:50:20.000 Well, we'll get to that.

00:50:21.000 But the bottom line, places like you use Florida, they tax their low-wage workers more than we tax our high-wage workers.

00:50:27.000 Yeah, but Gavin, I shouldn't be punished for succeeding.

00:50:30.000 And he posted it on X where he talked about...

00:50:32.000 I don't know if you have this.

00:50:33.000 He talked about more...

00:50:34.000 More expensive energy costs in Florida.

00:50:36.000 Excuse me, who was that?

00:50:37.000 Savage, right?

00:50:38.000 Savage, yeah.

00:50:39.000 So there's his post.

00:50:40.000 Higher taxes on poorest families, he says.

00:50:42.000 Higher energy bills, meaning Florida.

00:50:44.000 Higher car insurance bills.

00:50:46.000 Lower wages.

00:50:47.000 Higher uninsured rates.

00:50:48.000 So he adds all of that on top of that claim that actually people pay far more taxes in Florida.

00:50:54.000 Okay, let me go through this because I know you're thinking, he must be basing it on some truth.

00:50:58.000 He's not.

00:50:59.000 Income tax.

00:51:00.000 Florida.

00:51:01.000 None.

00:51:01.000 California.

00:51:02.000 Their top rate?

00:51:03.000 13.5%.

00:51:05.000 13.3%.

00:51:06.000 Sales tax.

00:51:07.000 So you might think, okay, maybe there's no income tax.

00:51:09.000 But I bet you the sales tax.

00:51:10.000 Okay, Florida.

00:51:11.000 The average?

00:51:12.000 6.9%.

00:51:13.000 California?

00:51:14.000 8.8%.

00:51:16.000 Now you might be thinking, okay, well, property tax.

00:51:19.000 That's the one where there's a slight in Florida.

00:51:21.000 It's 0.79.

00:51:22.000 On average in California, it's 0.71.

00:51:25.000 But again, if you look at the average home price, it's almost twice the amount.

00:51:30.000 Florida, $433,000.

00:51:31.000 California, $869,000, which also means that low-wage workers are far less likely to ever own a home.

00:51:43.000 He tweeted out higher energy bills.

00:51:44.000 This is another one.

00:51:45.000 This is the lie.

00:51:46.000 Again, you have to believe that he's either really, really stupid or you understand that he's lying to you.

00:51:50.000 In Florida...

00:51:51.000 There are obviously greater heating bills.

00:51:53.000 It's very temperate in California.

00:51:55.000 A lot of people don't even have air conditioning in California if they live close enough to the water in your, let's say, in San Diego.

00:52:01.000 In Florida, it's humid.

00:52:03.000 It's mucky.

00:52:03.000 Let's look at the cents per kilowatt hour.

00:52:06.000 Florida, it's 14.2.

00:52:09.000 Yeah, there we go.

00:52:09.000 I'm reading this here.

00:52:10.000 California, more than double.

00:52:12.000 30..55.

00:52:15.000 Well, hold on.

00:52:15.000 Lower-wage workers don't pay for electricity or things like sales tax, right?

00:52:18.000 Right, exactly.

00:52:19.000 It's not going to hit them.

00:52:20.000 So higher sales tax, income tax, higher energy costs, and then, of course, you also have gas prices.

00:52:27.000 Florida averages about $3.

00:52:29.000 California averages closer to $5.

00:52:31.000 $4.67.

00:52:33.000 Jeez.

00:52:34.000 He talked about...

00:52:35.000 He talked about car insurance.

00:52:37.000 The only difference...

00:52:37.000 Okay, Florida, it's about $4,000.

00:52:39.000 California, it's $3,000.

00:52:40.000 But you have hurricanes in Florida.

00:52:43.000 Plus, you have old people.

00:52:44.000 Old Jew drivers.

00:52:45.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:52:47.000 All right, fine.

00:52:48.000 You got us on car insurance.

00:52:50.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:52:50.000 You really want to hang your hat on that one?

00:52:52.000 Yeah.

00:52:54.000 Actually, what's funny is he said uninsured.

00:52:56.000 I don't know what he means.

00:52:56.000 The rate of uninsured drivers in Florida is about 15.9% in California.

00:52:59.000 It's 17, so it is higher.

00:53:02.000 Maybe he meant health insurance?

00:53:03.000 Maybe he did.

00:53:04.000 I don't know.

00:53:05.000 The bottom line is there is no case to be made that California taxes its people less than Florida.

00:53:12.000 Now, I'm giving you all those numbers, but really there's only one that matters.

00:53:15.000 Net loss of population in California, net gain in Florida.

00:53:19.000 So what people are living, this is why the left can't sustain itself and they have to switch their messaging.

00:53:25.000 Because it doesn't track with reality.

00:53:28.000 And at a certain point...

00:53:30.000 When your entire state says, yeah, this isn't working, and you're looking at a net loss versus a net gain of hundreds of thousands of people, it's no longer anecdotal.

00:53:39.000 And businesses, too.

00:53:41.000 And businesses, of course.

00:53:42.000 Huge.

00:53:42.000 Not to mention, by the way, things like COVID death rates.

00:53:45.000 Florida had 34.4 per 100,000 people.

00:53:48.000 And in California, somehow, even though Florida is the oldest place on Earth, in California, it was 37.8.

00:53:54.000 How do you have more people die in California than Florida?

00:53:57.000 Florida is death's waiting room.

00:53:59.000 Yeah, because you have people coming over from countries where they haven't even cured dandruff.

00:54:03.000 That's why.

00:54:05.000 You know?

00:54:07.000 They're saying the Somalis don't have cells.

00:54:09.000 Never wear black without the blue.

00:54:14.000 Never be black without the blue.

00:54:16.000 And then here's another one, and I just wish that people held this guy more accountable because he just, you know, he's charming and he gets away with that.

00:54:23.000 He was speaking with Charlie Kirk, and I was hoping he would be pressed on the COVID deaths and on the COVID lockdowns for schools.

00:54:32.000 He threw out a compliment and then they moved on.

00:54:36.000 Literally last night, trying to put my son to bed.

00:54:38.000 He's like, no, Dad.

00:54:40.000 I just, what time?

00:54:41.000 What time's Charlie going to be here?

00:54:42.000 What time?

00:54:42.000 And I'm like, dude, you're in school tomorrow.

00:54:44.000 He's 13. He's like, no, no.

00:54:45.000 This morning, wakes up at six up.

00:54:48.000 Then he's like, I'm coming.

00:54:49.000 I'm like, he literally would not leave the house.

00:54:52.000 Did you let him take off school?

00:54:53.000 No, he didn't.

00:54:53.000 Of course not.

00:54:54.000 He's not here for a good reason.

00:54:55.000 But the point is the point.

00:54:56.000 You canceled school for like two years.

00:54:57.000 Once one, the point is the point.

00:54:59.000 But now watch.

00:55:00.000 Which is, you are making a damn dent.

00:55:03.000 Thank you.

00:55:03.000 I'm kidding.

00:55:04.000 No, but I know.

00:55:05.000 But I appreciate that.

00:55:06.000 I mean, it's the reason you're here.

00:55:07.000 No, again, Charlie Kirk does that, but I would be like, oh, thank you for the comment.

00:55:11.000 But seriously, why do you destroy children's schooling for years to come, an entire generation?

00:55:16.000 I'm not kidding.

00:55:17.000 Not kidding at all.

00:55:19.000 It was a great point.

00:55:20.000 We were like, oh, Charlie Kirk goes in.

00:55:22.000 Yes, good.

00:55:22.000 My son likes you.

00:55:23.000 No!

00:55:24.000 No!

00:55:25.000 I'm just kidding.

00:55:27.000 Like me.

00:55:27.000 I just, you know, and this guy's going to handpick the people he sits down and talks with.

00:55:31.000 He doesn't want anything to do with people like...

00:55:34.000 Yeah.

00:55:34.000 Anyway.

00:55:35.000 Let's go on to another podcast, unless anyone has more to add there, Gavin Newsom.

00:55:38.000 That's going to be a cornucopia of material for us.

00:55:41.000 Anthony Mackie.

00:55:42.000 Don't say who.

00:55:43.000 He's the new Captain America, but you don't care?

00:55:47.000 So...

00:55:47.000 He had some, I guess, viral moments on the Pivot podcast.

00:55:52.000 Now, let me just say something here.

00:55:53.000 I like what he said.

00:55:55.000 In this first clip, where he discusses masculinity, it doesn't really surprise me when you understand in the black community in America, they actually appreciate traditional gender roles far more.

00:56:05.000 They haven't been guilted into hating them yet.

00:56:08.000 But then, of course, he can't help himself from corroding Western values in his discussions about success.

00:56:15.000 First, here's the good.

00:56:17.000 Mackey's take on masculinity.

00:56:18.000 In the past 20 years, we've been living through the death of the American male.

00:56:24.000 They have literally killed masculinity in our homes and our communities.

00:56:28.000 For one reason or another.

00:56:30.000 But I raise my boys to be young men.

00:56:33.000 And however you feel about that, you feel about that.

00:56:36.000 But my boys will always be respectful.

00:56:38.000 They will always say yes sir, yes ma'am.

00:56:40.000 No sir, no ma'am.

00:56:41.000 They will always say thank you.

00:56:42.000 They will always open a door for a lady.

00:56:44.000 They will always make sure that their mother is taken care and provided for.

00:56:48.000 They will always be men.

00:56:51.000 And that's always since they were two years old.

00:56:54.000 Oh, he's the one that raises boys like that.

00:56:56.000 You make sure these doors are locked every night.

00:56:59.000 This alarm is on.

00:57:00.000 You text me or you call me every night before you go to bed and you wake up.

00:57:04.000 I love that.

00:57:05.000 Because we're men.

00:57:06.000 I love it.

00:57:07.000 If I'm not there to protect, he got to be there to protect.

00:57:09.000 Because you can have all the money in the world, climb through the window, that money means nothing.

00:57:13.000 You can have all the celebrity in the world jump through the door, that celebrity means nothing.

00:57:17.000 So for me, it's always that idea of American masculinity is very different.

00:57:21.000 Yeah, I agree with everything he just said.

00:57:24.000 And you know what?

00:57:24.000 If we could get back to that.

00:57:25.000 Now, I have no idea if he practices all of it or everyone on that panel.

00:57:29.000 But I agree with that.

00:57:30.000 He left out the little tidbit as they will always say yes or sir because if they don't, mom beats the shit out of them.

00:57:35.000 Have you ever seen that in public where a kid's like, what?

00:57:38.000 And smacks him or as a white mom will be like, hey, excuse me, you really, I think that you need to be more respectful.

00:57:43.000 Like, screw you, mom, go to hell!

00:57:45.000 Like, well, I hear that you're not feeling very heard right now.

00:57:47.000 Well, I think a smack, you know, works.

00:57:50.000 I am with you on that.

00:57:52.000 So he, I agree with that.

00:57:54.000 I agree with everything that he just said.

00:57:55.000 But now he can't help but...

00:57:58.000 After DEI-ing his way into Captain America and saying that he didn't really think Captain America was about America or something, he just can't help himself from going full leftist on the idea of merit and success.

00:58:11.000 We're lying to our kids, dog.

00:58:14.000 And I think that's a big problem in our community.

00:58:17.000 We tell our kids that...

00:58:19.000 And this is fresh on my heart.

00:58:21.000 Like, I literally just came to this conclusion last night.

00:58:23.000 We tell our kids, if they do right, and they make the good grades, and they go to the programs, and they will become successful.

00:58:29.000 If you work hard enough, your work will be paid off.

00:58:32.000 And that's not true.

00:58:35.000 Success is given.

00:58:37.000 It's not earned.

00:58:39.000 Because you can be the most brilliant.

00:58:42.000 If one person don't tap you, each one of y'all!

00:58:46.000 There were people who could hit harder, who could catch better, who could run faster.

00:58:49.000 Nope.

00:58:49.000 But somebody said, you.

00:58:52.000 Not true.

00:58:53.000 You're the one.

00:58:53.000 Maybe for actors.

00:58:54.000 And the other 50 behind you fell off.

00:58:57.000 You know what I mean?

00:58:59.000 And because of that, I don't know what that emotion or that feeling is.

00:59:06.000 It's the scary thing.

00:59:07.000 Because I went to all the programs.

00:59:09.000 I've done Broadway.

00:59:10.000 I've done off-Broadway.

00:59:11.000 I've been in the business 24 years.

00:59:13.000 I've been in two Academy Award films.

00:59:15.000 I've done independent films.

00:59:16.000 You're arguing against yourself, stupid.

00:59:18.000 Now I'm Captain America.

00:59:22.000 So now what?

00:59:23.000 Yeah, here's the thing.

00:59:25.000 Not only is he incorrect, outside of, like I've said, the exception is actors.

00:59:30.000 Kind of like there's no rape culture in the United States.

00:59:32.000 The exception is Hollywood.

00:59:34.000 And maybe D.C. No, no.

00:59:36.000 In the United States, it's merit-based.

00:59:38.000 The exception is Hollywood.

00:59:40.000 There are very few other jobs in which the primary qualification is your facial structure and you have no ability to change it, right?

00:59:50.000 It's basically a birthright.

00:59:52.000 The success in Hollywood for a lot of people, sure, there's some talent, sure, there's working.

00:59:56.000 But a lot of it is luck.

00:59:57.000 It's not the same thing in starting an oil rig.

00:59:59.000 It's not the same thing in learning a trade.

01:00:02.000 It's not the same thing in starting a franchise business in the middle of Oklahoma.

01:00:05.000 It is not.

01:00:06.000 But he just told an entire generation of kids, hey, doesn't matter what you do, you have no control over your own destiny.

01:00:14.000 Which not only is morally reprehensible, but I understand because he has to be a professional victim considering he's a multi-millionaire for something he hasn't earned.

01:00:22.000 It's also the exact opposite.

01:00:25.000 Of what he just said regarding success one month ago.

01:00:30.000 It means everything.

01:00:32.000 I mean, look, my grandfather was a sharecropper.

01:00:34.000 My dad was a roofer, and I'm Captain America.

01:00:38.000 Benjamin E. Mays said we study agriculture so that our kids can study math and science, so that our grandkids can study the arts.

01:00:47.000 That's the American dream.

01:00:49.000 So it sounds like you're saying work really hard so you can help your kids.

01:00:53.000 Have a better life.

01:00:55.000 But why?

01:00:56.000 Considering that success is not earned?

01:00:57.000 None of that matters, right?

01:00:59.000 It's whether some wealthy white guy picks you or not.

01:01:02.000 No, it's not about how fast you throw a ball.

01:01:04.000 It's not about your hitting average.

01:01:06.000 It's about someone choosing you for success.

01:01:08.000 That may be the case, Mr. First Black Captain America.

01:01:11.000 That may be the case.

01:01:13.000 That someone picked you because they wanted to socially engineer you.

01:01:16.000 It may be the case that you fill a quota, but it's not the case across the rest of this country, and that's why the voting patterns are so different in Hollywood and D.C. in media and the rest of the country.

01:01:28.000 This is probably...

01:01:30.000 If not the most, it is absolutely right there in top one or two.

01:01:33.000 Most corrosive things that you can tell, especially the black community right now.

01:01:38.000 Doesn't matter how hard you work.

01:01:39.000 Doesn't matter if you put the effort in and go to the classes and do all these things.

01:01:43.000 If you don't get picked, you're not going to be successful.

01:01:45.000 One, define what success is because you can get ahead by working hard.

01:01:49.000 Some people may have more talent than you.

01:01:50.000 Some people may have better lucky breaks than you.

01:01:53.000 I get it.

01:01:54.000 Some people may catch a coach's eye.

01:01:56.000 Sometimes that turns out to be a real bad thing, by the way, if you're in middle school and your coach has a big glass window in the basketball locker room like mine did.

01:02:02.000 But you can catch a coach's eye in a good way as well and get a scholarship somewhere and not have to earn it.

01:02:07.000 That is the worst thing that you can possibly tell the black community is that success is not earned.

01:02:11.000 You're not lying to people.

01:02:12.000 And by the way, the examples that you used, football, we put...

01:02:17.000 People accused of murder on the field because they're the fastest people with the highest hitters.

01:02:23.000 Ray Rice punched his wife and tried to get back on.

01:02:26.000 We had Michael Vick, who did dogfighting, got another chance because he was so...

01:02:33.000 Talented and good.

01:02:35.000 Are you sitting there in a room of football players saying there were people that were faster than you and could hit harder?

01:02:40.000 And they're like, no, there wasn't.

01:02:41.000 No, there wasn't.

01:02:42.000 No, I was one of the best.

01:02:43.000 And guess what?

01:02:43.000 The minute that I wasn't one of the best, they went out and got the best.

01:02:46.000 And I became a former NFL football player.

01:02:50.000 And they have a ton of examples.

01:02:52.000 And I mean, the Tiger Woods didn't work hard.

01:02:55.000 Or even LeBron James, who I hate.

01:02:58.000 You know what?

01:02:58.000 The guy worked his ass off.

01:03:00.000 He also was a great chemist.

01:03:04.000 But I mean, that is the most insane statement.

01:03:07.000 Like you said, so corrosive.

01:03:09.000 Yeah.

01:03:10.000 No, and by the way, let me show you in real time.

01:03:12.000 And usually we do chat Thursday today, but we're going to do a Hardly Legal with Bill Richman because we do have a big announcement.

01:03:17.000 We'll be taking chats tomorrow, so we're going to continue this.

01:03:19.000 But I'll tell you, there are real-world consequences to this.

01:03:22.000 Yeah.

01:03:23.000 And you have an entire generation of largely young black Americans.

01:03:27.000 You have the flip side with white people where they think, hey, maybe I didn't deserve this.

01:03:30.000 They work really, really hard to earn their keep and then think, yeah, but it must just be privilege.

01:03:34.000 Then you have a lot of young black Americans who, because of DEI, who, because of affirmative action, will never truly believe in themselves again.

01:03:42.000 That is what Mackey is saying with that message.

01:03:45.000 Don't believe in yourself because there's nothing you can do.

01:03:49.000 And here's one woman, one young lady, who bought it.

01:03:53.000 I remember this.

01:03:54.000 You should be able to go to any college.

01:03:57.000 Right.

01:03:58.000 It's just, I don't know...

01:03:59.000 Did you work hard?

01:04:00.000 Oh, yes, sir, I did.

01:04:01.000 And you wanted to go to UT? Yes, sir, I did.

01:04:04.000 That makes me happy.

01:04:06.000 That's what I want to see.

01:04:07.000 It's just...

01:04:08.000 And I don't want to see it because you're black.

01:04:11.000 Yeah.

01:04:11.000 I want you to know that it's because you worked hard.

01:04:13.000 And to me, that's a racism of soft expectations.

01:04:18.000 You know, imagine if you're a black student who didn't score so well, right?

01:04:21.000 Had a lower SAT score, didn't score so well.

01:04:23.000 And you know that you're in the university as a diversity applicant.

01:04:28.000 That's self-doubt.

01:04:29.000 And that's what I'm saying.

01:04:30.000 I don't want you to have it.

01:04:31.000 To me, it seems so sad to have for the rest of your life to go, man, did I really deserve this spot?

01:04:36.000 And she didn't know.

01:04:37.000 Yeah.

01:04:38.000 She wasn't able to answer if she did.

01:04:41.000 You guys think that's a good thing?

01:04:44.000 We used to want public figures to be inspiring, if nothing else.

01:04:48.000 Not dishonest, but in this case, he's uninspiring and inaccurate.

01:04:53.000 That's the worst combination humanly possible.

01:04:56.000 Tell you what's a good combination, the fabrics that we use.

01:04:58.000 Yeah, only the best.

01:05:00.000 And the logos that you see at crudershop.com, support and style.

01:05:02.000 I guess we have a hat.

01:05:04.000 Do we have a hat?

01:05:05.000 We're doing a hat.

01:05:05.000 Oh, there we go.

01:05:06.000 Strange animal hat.

01:05:07.000 Okay, all right.

01:05:08.000 Will it frisbee?

01:05:10.000 Oh, sorry.

01:05:11.000 I almost decapitated noodles.

01:05:13.000 Wow.

01:05:14.000 All right.

01:05:15.000 What is that?

01:05:15.000 Oddjob?

01:05:16.000 No, he throws a shoe, not a hat.

01:05:17.000 Who throws a hat?

01:05:18.000 No, Oddjob was a hat.

01:05:20.000 The parody was the shoe.

01:05:21.000 Sorry.

01:05:22.000 I watched more Austin Powers than I did Bond.

01:05:24.000 A lot of legal questions, by the way, this week.

01:05:27.000 And we don't really have the ability to address these every day.

01:05:30.000 Also, I'm not a lawyer, and frankly, I would get it wrong.

01:05:33.000 So that brings us to the second edition, by popular demand, with my half-Asian lawyer, Bill Richmond, Hardly Legal.

01:05:45.000 All right.

01:05:46.000 And by the way, hardly underscore legal on YouTube and Kim Jong Bill on Instagram.

01:05:52.000 You have this as an actual podcast where you answer people's legal questions, right?

01:05:55.000 Yeah.

01:05:55.000 People call in all the time.

01:05:57.000 Real Americans, Real Issues.

01:05:58.000 They're anonymous.

01:05:58.000 We help them.

01:05:59.000 We got comedians on as well, so laugh along the way.

01:06:01.000 Can they sue you if you give them legal advice and they lose?

01:06:05.000 We're not giving them legal advice.

01:06:06.000 Oh, okay, good.

01:06:07.000 But we're giving them some guidance, and then we get them to lawyers.

01:06:09.000 Okay.

01:06:10.000 Can they sue?

01:06:12.000 Anyone can sue anyone.

01:06:13.000 Okay.

01:06:13.000 Can you make fun of them?

01:06:15.000 We sometimes have to make fun of them.

01:06:17.000 Most of the time people call in with their own side of the story, but they're such a shitbag, you can't help but call them out.

01:06:24.000 Isn't your real last name, Sue?

01:06:28.000 We do have one here, actually, yesterday, and I want to get your opinion on this.

01:06:32.000 A street, not really even protest, a street speaker was in the middle of a brouhaha.

01:06:38.000 It went horribly wrong.

01:06:40.000 Now there are some questions as to how this happened.

01:06:42.000 I'm curious to get your take.

01:06:45.000 But you need to try less being like somebody you're not and start to humble yourself and be somebody that God made you to be.

01:06:52.000 He didn't make a man to be a woman.

01:06:55.000 He made the man to be a man.

01:06:57.000 He didn't make the woman to be a man.

01:06:59.000 He made the woman to be a woman.

01:07:01.000 And this is the truth.

01:07:03.000 What are you going to do?

01:07:04.000 Come attack me now?
