00:02:19.000 It's called a quick sip because I don't really feel like doing it right now

00:02:22.000 I'm squeezing.

00:02:23.000 Yeah, I know.

00:02:24.000 I know they're Yakuza. 0.52

00:02:25.000 I'm squeezing a stress ball today.

00:02:27.000 It's actually a great little stress ball.

00:02:28.000 It's from Iron Mind, the green.

00:02:30.000 I mean, look, you'll hear it.

00:02:32.000 Hear it?

00:02:33.000 It's heavy.

00:02:33.000 Wow, that is heavy.

00:02:34.000 Ow! 1.00

00:02:35.000 That's it.

00:02:35.000 Ha ha ha ha ha!

00:02:36.000 Ah!

00:02:36.000 Wings it at Dave.

00:02:38.000 All right.

00:02:38.000 We'll try and start with levity because it is a dark day.

00:02:41.000 It's a dark day in American history, and if we can make today fun for you, if we can make today entertaining, well then, I guess we're not the failures that our parents thought we were.

00:02:50.000 A lot of stuff going on.

00:02:52.000 First off, the Navy now.

00:02:53.000 Good to see they have emphasis on priorities, obviously.

00:02:56.000 They are going to start using the proper pronouns.

00:03:01.000 Because that was a problem.

00:03:02.000 Really?

00:03:02.000 And a gun control bill just passed the Senate.

00:03:05.000 We're going to give you the names of the Republicans.

00:03:08.000 Or the spineless weasels.

00:03:09.000 Weasels technically have spines.

00:03:10.000 Spineless worms.

00:03:14.000 All worms are spineless, that's redundant.

00:03:16.000 And break down why things that sound good on their surface, why they hurt you.

00:03:21.000 And I don't mean in a figurative sense, I mean in a very real, literal sense.

00:03:25.000 Could cause you grave physical harm, not to mention strip you for constitutional rights.

00:03:29.000 And that's sort of the theme today because we now also see what happens when good guys with guns, meaning law-abiding citizens, cannot protect themselves when they are not allowed their God-given rights.

00:03:39.000 We have an Ivalde update with the police.

00:03:42.000 Who lied.

00:03:43.000 About a lot.

00:03:45.000 When people say Bush lied, people died, how about these police lied and children died?

00:03:49.000 And, uh, look, there's no other way to put it.

00:03:51.000 It's cowardice.

00:03:52.000 It's cowardice.

00:03:52.000 We have a cowardice problem in this country.

00:03:56.000 We have a cowardice problem with Republicans and the gun control bill.

00:03:58.000 We have a cowardice problem with police.

00:04:01.000 And even if some police wanted to go in there, into the unlocked door where they had ballistic shields, by the way, and we'll get to all these details, even if they wanted to, they were too afraid to stand up to their boss.

00:04:12.000 They're too afraid to stand up to police unions, which is something that people don't want to mention.

00:04:16.000 Sure, I back the blue in many ways, but you don't back all of the blue.

00:04:21.000 You know, maybe there's some racist cops out there, too.

00:04:22.000 Maybe there are, and maybe the unions help cover it up sometimes.

00:04:24.000 Sometimes that happens, absolutely.

00:04:25.000 It's not the epidemic they make you believe.

00:04:28.000 But it's also not exclusive to race.

00:04:30.000 Police lie to protect themselves, just like everyone lies to protect their jobs.

00:04:33.000 The problem is when you're dealing with municipal employee unions who are funded by your tax dollars and there's nothing you can do about it.

00:04:40.000 And it's a pretty tough pill to swallow when your kids are dying behind doors in a school.

00:04:45.000 And they even stop a dad trying to save his dying wife.

00:04:48.000 That's another story that just came out, by the way.

00:04:49.000 Good guy with a gun.

00:04:49.000 Dad.

00:04:50.000 Wanted to go in and protect those kids.

00:04:52.000 Wanted to go in and save his wife.

00:04:53.000 Wasn't allowed to do it.

00:04:54.000 But hey!

00:04:54.000 You know what?

00:04:55.000 The good news is we have a bunch of Republicans and Democrats who will sign a bill into law that will allow more of that to happen.

00:05:01.000 Also mammals, there are some mammals, we have some research, Thomas Finnegan, they're able to breathe anally.

00:05:06.000 Really?

00:05:08.000 Wow, that's a little palate cleanser.

00:05:09.000 Yeah.

00:05:10.000 I wouldn't, that's probably not fair.

00:05:11.000 Mouth to mouth.

00:05:12.000 That's a poor choice of words on my part, I agree.

00:05:16.000 So before I get to this, what kind of punishment do you think that the coward police officers in Uvalde should face?

00:05:22.000 There needs to be punishment.

00:05:25.000 We're going to be talking about cowardice and punishment.

00:05:27.000 Unfortunately, we often think of cowardice as something to be dismissed, as something to just be sort of pitied.

00:05:31.000 No, it warrants punishment.

00:05:33.000 Cowardice leads to death. 0.99

00:05:38.000 Often, not the death of the coward. 0.86

00:05:39.000 That's the problem.

00:05:40.000 It's usually the coward who causes the death of other people.

00:05:43.000 And we see that directly today.

00:05:45.000 So, hey, by the way, I know right now it's tough to buy, but the tour, Rebels of the Cause, we are in cities.

00:05:53.000 You can go to lineupwithcrowder.com slash tour.

00:05:54.000 It's in the fall.

00:05:55.000 We are in Phoenix.

00:05:56.000 Ahoy! 0.99

00:05:57.000 Houston.

00:05:58.000 Ahoy! 0.99

00:05:58.000 Charleston, West Virginia. 0.99

00:06:00.000 Ahoy.

00:06:00.000 Nashville.

00:06:01.000 Ahoy.

00:06:02.000 Just added a second show at 9.30 p.m.

00:06:04.000 in Nashville because the first one is not quite sold out, but there aren't a lot of tickets with four people, so kind of singles left.

00:06:12.000 Nine Ahoys.

00:06:13.000 Red Bank, New Jersey.

00:06:14.000 Ahoy.

00:06:15.000 Ahoy.

00:06:15.000 And Baltimore.

00:06:16.000 Okay.

00:06:19.000 So.

00:06:21.000 Ahoy.

00:06:23.000 The good thing is here, before we get to what's going on with the gun control bill and our children dying as a result of Cowardice and, by the way, just forbidding people of their fundamental... What is a gun?

00:06:34.000 Let's ask it.

00:06:35.000 What is a gun?

00:06:36.000 It's the right to defend yourself in the year 2022.

00:06:38.000 It's not just fisticuffs.

00:06:39.000 It's not blades.

00:06:40.000 If you do not have the right to own a firearm, you do not have the right.

00:06:44.000 You are being stripped of your God-given right to defend yourself and your family.

00:06:49.000 That's what a gun means.

00:06:52.000 But the good thing is we have an emphasis on priorities here in this country.

00:06:55.000 Speaking of guns, the Navy.

00:06:57.000 The military. 0.98

00:06:59.000 Perfect, because it's about to get really gay. 1.00

00:07:01.000 Yep. 0.81

00:07:02.000 Turns out they were right. 0.86

00:07:04.000 You can bang a guy named Steve in the Navy.

00:07:07.000 Ask him his pronouns first.

00:07:09.000 Boy, did they really carve themselves out a niche, the village people.

00:07:12.000 And it happened before major gay awareness was there, so it happened under straight Americans' eyes, like Liberace. 0.57

00:07:17.000 They were like, oh yeah, it's just a bunch of guys in chaps. 0.99

00:07:19.000 Yeah, we were all singing the song.

00:07:20.000 It's just so easy to sing.

00:07:22.000 Yeah, they had like a construction worker, a leather man.

00:07:25.000 I like how there's just a leather man.

00:07:27.000 Yeah, exactly.

00:07:27.000 Everything else makes sense, and then leather man.

00:07:30.000 Leather man.

00:07:31.000 There was one big ad for Leatherman Tools.

00:07:33.000 Yeah.

00:07:33.000 There was also a Gerber.

00:07:36.000 It's just leather.

00:07:37.000 What is his profession?

00:07:38.000 That's what I mean.

00:07:38.000 It's just a leather.

00:07:40.000 It's like, okay, I see you're Native American.

00:07:41.000 I see you're a... That's also not a profession.

00:07:44.000 No, but at least it's a thing.

00:07:47.000 Actually, you are paid to be Native American, so technically that's a profession. 0.98

00:07:50.000 But yeah, when you're a leather man, you're just into deviant sex in dirty parts of San Francisco in the 1970s. 0.98

00:07:57.000 What's your job? 0.99

00:07:57.000 I'm just here to be titillating. 0.99

00:07:59.000 His original costume had a ball gag, they thought that was a little much, so they pulled that off.

00:08:02.000 Cop, construction worker, profession, and an entire race of people.

00:08:06.000 Native American.

00:08:06.000 Let's do that.

00:08:08.000 Yeah, watch Can't Stop the Music, the Village People movie, and I guarantee you by the end you'll have a lower T-cell count.

00:08:15.000 Something stopped that music.

00:08:17.000 Watch it and you need chemo.

00:08:19.000 Alright, so the Navy has now taken on all of these, well they've taken on challenges historically, you know, Okinawa.

00:08:26.000 Midway.

00:08:27.000 The movie was not very good.

00:08:28.000 Not at all.

00:08:29.000 But it was made.

00:08:32.000 Now, the Navy has a new battlefield.

00:08:36.000 Not like the Air Force with stretchy maternity suits. 0.63

00:08:41.000 They have a new training video!

00:08:43.000 Can't wait for us to die.

00:08:47.000 It's gonna be maverick. 0.74

00:08:48.000 Goose is just a lady in her third trimester. 0.99

00:08:52.000 Crying out loud.

00:08:54.000 Baby's just liquefied in the body from the G-forces.

00:08:57.000 Oh, this was a good idea.

00:08:58.000 That's how Goose died.

00:08:59.000 They weren't using his pronouns when they were talking to him.

00:09:02.000 No, the G-forces that give birth to soup.

00:09:05.000 There's no Goose here.

00:09:08.000 I believe there's a first term you're supposed to use.

00:09:10.000 And he's dead.

00:09:11.000 Yep.

00:09:11.000 Oh.

00:09:13.000 Talk to me, Z. Now there's a new training video designed to create safe spaces in our Navy using what is most important in the field of battle, uh, appropriate pronouns. 0.51

00:09:23.000 Hi, my name is Johnny and I use he, him pronouns.

00:09:25.000 Hi, and I'm Conchie and I use she, her pronouns.

00:09:28.000 And we're here to talk about pronouns.

00:09:30.000 What is a pronoun?

00:09:31.000 A pronoun is how we identify ourselves apart from our name.

00:09:36.000 And it's also how people refer to us in conversations.

00:09:39.000 Using the right pronouns is a really simple way to affirm someone's identity.

00:09:43.000 It is a signal of acceptance and respect.

00:09:47.000 If it's a signal of acceptance and respect, how do we go about creating a safe space for everybody?

00:09:53.000 That's a good question.

00:09:54.000 A really good way to do that is to use inclusive language.

00:09:57.000 Instead of saying something like, hey guys, you can say, hey everyone, or hey team.

00:10:03.000 We're making sure America isn't a safe space.

00:10:05.000 Another way that we could show that we're allies and that we accept everybody is to maybe include our pronouns in our emails or, like we just did, introduce ourselves using our pronouns.

00:10:17.000 Oh my gosh, fantastic work guys.

00:10:19.000 Great, great job team.

00:10:21.000 Did anyone know, was Omaha Beach, was that a safe space?

00:10:25.000 Sir!

00:10:26.000 How safe was it?

00:10:26.000 How dare you call me by the... Pile!

00:10:31.000 You look good.

00:10:32.000 Yeah.

00:10:32.000 Looking good.

00:10:34.000 I don't... It's unbelievable.

00:10:35.000 You can't even refer to your rifle as she.

00:10:37.000 No.

00:10:41.000 Plane names are gone.

00:10:42.000 All that fun.

00:10:43.000 Why?

00:10:44.000 Well, here, the good news is that right now, we're one step ahead of the game.

00:10:49.000 China is commissioning new aircraft carriers heading towards Taiwan.

00:10:55.000 Russia is essentially threatening to blow up Lithuania.

00:10:59.000 So they're strengthening their military, and if you see their recruiting ads, it's very, very different.

00:11:02.000 But the good thing is, we take a softer style approach.

00:11:06.000 um, and uh, as a matter of fact, so soft that the United States military and uh, these uh, the Russian Chinese 0.83

00:11:12.000 Chinese military They've they've come together to form a joint military

00:11:15.000 recruitment video. Um, there you go. But what would I do if I?

00:11:19.000 misgender someone Some people may be going through the process of discovery

00:11:33.000 and they are not ready yet to tell you what their pronouns Are and that's okay

00:11:37.000 There's no easy way out There's no shortcut home

00:11:46.000 So I should just lead with my pronouns and they may follow or not and if they don't then I can 0.83

00:11:53.000 just continue to use gender-neutral language.

00:11:55.000 There's no easy way out There's no shortcut home

00:12:02.000 The argument was if you look like a female then it's she-her because that's what's normal 1.00

00:12:07.000 and if you make me call you something else then you're infringing on my rights.

00:12:11.000 There's no easy way out There's no shortcut home

00:12:18.000 There's no easy way out Giving in can't be wrong

00:12:27.000 I don't want to testify I don't want to drag you down

00:12:36.000 But I'm feeling like a prisoner Like a stranger in an old name town

00:12:44.000 I see Some names are very difficult to pronounce, but do you know what is very easy to pronounce?

00:12:50.000 She, he, they.

00:12:53.000 Thank you, Bangladeshi Sammy Davis Jr.

00:12:55.000 Listen, great acting.

00:12:58.000 Find the most effeminate man.

00:12:59.000 Just call him, just call him babe, babe.

00:13:01.000 Mr. Z Jankos.

00:13:03.000 So.

00:13:04.000 And Z danced for her.

00:13:07.000 Him.

00:13:08.000 Oh my gosh.

00:13:12.000 By the way, you know what?

00:13:13.000 Whenever you see in those videos, they say, that's a good question.

00:13:16.000 It means that it's not.

00:13:17.000 Very much so not.

00:13:18.000 It means it's not a good question that they have to reinforce.

00:13:20.000 That's a good question. 1.00

00:13:21.000 It means, that's a really stupid question. 1.00

00:13:23.000 I can't believe that you would ask. 1.00

00:13:24.000 Also, it's just, and if someone looks like a woman, yeah, because that's how we describe all trans people.

00:13:30.000 Yeah, what if they don't?

00:13:32.000 Like every trans person I've ever seen in real life with the exception of Blair White. 0.99

00:13:36.000 What about that?

00:13:37.000 What if they don't look like a woman and they still demand to be called a woman? 1.00

00:13:41.000 What are the rules on that?

00:13:44.000 Sammy?

00:13:45.000 What if they look like both?

00:13:46.000 You make him the gym teacher and you call him coach until you figure it out.

00:13:50.000 Right.

00:13:51.000 Or a Disney executive producer.

00:13:52.000 Correct.

00:13:52.000 Can we just say shipmate and be done with it?

00:13:54.000 This would have been very easy to solve.

00:13:56.000 Okay, if you want to solve this... Can't say mate because that suggests reproductive biological processes.

00:14:00.000 Nope.

00:14:00.000 Not at all.

00:14:01.000 Doesn't.

00:14:01.000 This really has to stop, right?

00:14:05.000 Uh, when we all die.

00:14:06.000 Yeah.

00:14:09.000 When Skynet Falls Judgment Day is just gonna be a guy in a dress with lipstick on the fence. 1.00

00:14:13.000 Let's have a new carrier SS penis. 1.00

00:14:17.000 Pronouns means you're not there. 1.00

00:14:20.000 Yeah.

00:14:20.000 Right.

00:14:21.000 You would think so.

00:14:22.000 Well, that's what they're for.

00:14:23.000 Also, it would be very confusing in battle where it's like, are we getting reinforcements?

00:14:27.000 Like, yes!

00:14:28.000 They're coming over the hill, sir! 0.99

00:14:29.000 And that just means one trans person with a handgun. 1.00

00:14:34.000 I said, what? 0.97

00:14:34.000 You said they! 0.97

00:14:35.000 They are here!

00:14:36.000 They is here!

00:14:38.000 They is here to save you.

00:14:39.000 What are you not getting here?

00:14:40.000 Why is that a weird sentence? 1.00

00:14:42.000 Did you not watch our stupid-ass video? 1.00

00:14:44.000 Yes. 1.00

00:14:46.000 This is supposed to be a safe space.

00:14:48.000 All right.

00:14:49.000 Well, your friend's dead now.

00:14:50.000 Yeah.

00:14:52.000 I understand that, but yeah, we're all bleeding.

00:14:54.000 Yeah.

00:14:56.000 What would you like me to call you as you bleed out?

00:14:58.000 Because men can free bleed too.

00:15:00.000 Oh my god.

00:15:01.000 Okay, how about you?

00:15:02.000 Can we just have a friendly fire incident right now?

00:15:04.000 Can you just... Frank out!

00:15:06.000 I told you I could get my period.

00:15:08.000 That's a chest wound.

00:15:10.000 Yes. 0.93

00:15:11.000 That is nowhere near where vagina would be. 1.00

00:15:13.000 I can die! 1.00

00:15:14.000 A happy Z!

00:15:17.000 Tell my wife slash husband I lovesy.

00:15:20.000 Give me more morphine.

00:15:21.000 I'll find they.

00:15:24.000 They died before.

00:15:25.000 More estrogen pills, sir.

00:15:27.000 Give it to him.

00:15:29.000 It is mail. 0.99

00:15:30.000 I want big breasts at my funeral. 1.00

00:15:35.000 M-Mama! 1.00

00:15:36.000 Father!

00:15:36.000 Mama!

00:15:37.000 Father!

00:15:38.000 I can't remember!

00:15:41.000 We should just remake Private Ryan.

00:15:44.000 Come on guys!

00:15:44.000 Z's!

00:15:44.000 Come on Z's!

00:15:48.000 This is too much.

00:15:50.000 This is too much!

00:15:51.000 How hard is it to just call somebody she, he, him, her, hi, him, zee, zir, zim, zam?

00:15:57.000 Yeah, when are we gonna get to basic weapons training?

00:15:59.000 Oh, that's not a thing anymore.

00:16:00.000 No, we don't do that.

00:16:01.000 We don't do that.

00:16:02.000 That's aggressive.

00:16:02.000 Well, you do not do that.

00:16:03.000 That's toxic masculinity. 1.00

00:16:05.000 When we go into China, we just start misgendering them.

00:16:09.000 That'll take a month.

00:16:10.000 Bring them to their knees.

00:16:12.000 And it takes a long time to misgender them, because it's hard to tell them apart. 0.80

00:16:16.000 Well, they said some names are hard to pronounce, and I was like, well, that's perfect. 1.00

00:16:19.000 Alright, let's get to the... I think we've done our part here, because now we have to get to the gun control bill in Uvalde.

00:16:26.000 Okay.

00:16:28.000 You think these Republicans... You can just comment.

00:16:29.000 You think these Republicans should be voted out?

00:16:32.000 I think you know where I line up.

00:16:34.000 And what is it that you've heard about this bill, exactly?

00:16:37.000 We've spent some time with it this morning.

00:16:38.000 You know what, I just have some questions on it.

00:16:40.000 So, let's first...

00:16:42.000 Brief you for those of you who don't know.

00:16:44.000 Tuesday, June 21st, a day which will live in infamy.

00:16:47.000 The Safer Communities Act passed a simple majority vote and it's going to proceed in the Senate.

00:16:53.000 The bipartisan Safer Communities Act came out just about an hour before we came on the air tonight.

00:16:58.000 Now, according to a statement, the bill, quote, will not infringe on any law abiding Americans' Second Amendment rights, unquote.

00:17:06.000 The bill includes state funding to implement so-called red flag laws.

00:17:11.000 It also includes enhanced background checks for people 18 to 21.

00:17:15.000 It addresses the so-called boyfriend loophole with that nexus between domestic violence and gun violence.

00:17:21.000 And it also closes a number of legal loopholes that have to do with buying guns in criminal proceedings.

00:17:29.000 Okay, we'll go back to Clip F in a little bit.

00:17:31.000 I love how he mentions boyfriend loophole.

00:17:33.000 Now, the bill doesn't say that, to be fair, but the media wants to just drill it into you. 0.99

00:17:37.000 Hey, how about crazy stalker bitch loophole? 1.00

00:17:39.000 How about that? 1.00

00:17:39.000 How about Amber Heard loophole? 1.00

00:17:41.000 By the way, women commit domestic abuse at far higher rates than men, but they want to say boyfriend loophole. 0.98

00:17:46.000 Domestic abuser man loophole.

00:17:48.000 So let me first just give you A briefer.

00:17:51.000 And then some questions I think you all need to ask.

00:17:52.000 So at least 14 Republicans are expected to help pass this bill.

00:17:56.000 Let me give you the names.

00:17:56.000 Mitch McConnell in Kentucky.

00:17:58.000 Gone.

00:17:59.000 Lindsey Graham, South Carolina.

00:18:00.000 Gone.

00:18:01.000 John Cornyn, Texas.

00:18:02.000 Gone.

00:18:02.000 Tom Tillis, North Carolina.

00:18:03.000 Gone.

00:18:03.000 Susan Collins, of course, should be.

00:18:05.000 Maine.

00:18:05.000 Gone.

00:18:06.000 Lisa Murkowski, Alaska.

00:18:07.000 Gone.

00:18:07.000 Bill Cassidy, Louisiana.

00:18:09.000 Good name, but gone.

00:18:10.000 Roy Blunt, Missouri.

00:18:11.000 Gone.

00:18:11.000 Richard Burr, North Carolina.

00:18:13.000 Gone.

00:18:14.000 Rob Portman, Ohio, gone.

00:18:15.000 Shelley Capito, West Virginia, gone.

00:18:17.000 Joni Ernst, of course, Iowa, gone.

00:18:19.000 Todd Young, Indiana, gone.

00:18:20.000 And Mitt Romney, Utah, it's a marvel that he has not been gone yet. 1.00

00:18:24.000 Utah, get your crap together. 0.99

00:18:28.000 She was right. 0.99

00:18:29.000 So, here's what we're looking at in the bill.

00:18:31.000 All references are available at loudearthcrowder.com.

00:18:35.000 Provides grants for state crisis intervention programs.

00:18:38.000 That's a nice way of saying red flag laws. 0.98

00:18:39.000 You're familiar with those.

00:18:40.000 We've gone over them.

00:18:41.000 Individuals targeted under the provisions have a right to defense, but they have to pay for it.

00:18:44.000 Must be nice.

00:18:46.000 They say that there have to be penalties for abusing the system, but guess what?

00:18:49.000 It goes to the states, and any state can define it.

00:18:53.000 Domestic violence.

00:18:53.000 They have a new, what they call the serious partnership, is what I believe the loophole, or serious partner loophole.

00:18:58.000 The media says it is a boyfriend loophole.

00:19:01.000 So what does this mean?

00:19:02.000 Because it used to be for husbands, wives, the term dating relationship means a relationship between individuals who have or have recently had a continuing serious relationship of a romantic or intimate nature.

00:19:12.000 Well, that's very clear.

00:19:12.000 That can't be abused.

00:19:13.000 Not at all.

00:19:16.000 And background checks for those under 21.

00:19:20.000 It's already a thing.

00:19:23.000 But now it's double.

00:19:24.000 Now it's double.

00:19:25.000 Doubly.

00:19:25.000 They're going to tighten the regulations for trafficking weapons, performing straw purchases, and by the way, includes many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many, many billions of dollars in unnecessary spending.

00:19:39.000 Okay, so let me go through this a little bit.

00:19:42.000 It sounds good on its surface.

00:19:43.000 Red flag laws. 0.70

00:19:44.000 People say, well, yeah, we can all be on board.

00:19:45.000 Red flag laws. 0.94

00:19:46.000 People who are mentally unstable. 0.51

00:19:50.000 People who are, yeah, mental health. 0.90

00:19:51.000 Okay, good.

00:19:51.000 And that's just sort of, that's sort of used as a cudgel.

00:19:54.000 Yeah, mental health.

00:19:55.000 Okay.

00:19:56.000 Let me cycle through a few.

00:19:57.000 I have a question.

00:19:59.000 All right?

00:20:00.000 Question.

00:20:01.000 What exactly constitutes a red flag?

00:20:06.000 Let's be clear about that.

00:20:07.000 Is that clearly defined?

00:20:08.000 Keep in mind, this goes back to the state.

00:20:09.000 So what is the red flag law?

00:20:11.000 Who determines who is mentally unfit?

00:20:15.000 Does this bill make it very clear?

00:20:16.000 Hey, this is what a red flag is.

00:20:18.000 There has to be something you have to be ment... For example, right now we have a clear... We have a clear hurdle that needs to be cleared. 0.72

00:20:24.000 You know, you have to be adjudicated mentally defective.

00:20:26.000 Yeah.

00:20:27.000 In a court, that's good.

00:20:28.000 Well, now a red flag is anyone can flag you.

00:20:30.000 Your neighbors.

00:20:30.000 Okay.

00:20:31.000 Alright, so your neighbors can flag you and that almost seems like it could be, you know, just right for abuse.

00:20:39.000 What are the punishments?

00:20:40.000 For someone who falsely uses red flag laws.

00:20:42.000 Is that clearly outlined in the bill?

00:20:43.000 No.

00:20:44.000 Oh, wait a second, the bill just says there must be punishments, but, you know, it goes to the states.

00:20:49.000 So, New York, maybe, for example, they can violate, they can remove your constitutional right to carry a firearm, to defend yourself, because some, I don't know, some scorned lover, someone you had a one-night stand with is mad at you, you lose your right to defend yourself, and then it's whoopsies, what, New York may implement a fine?

00:21:11.000 I would be on board maybe.

00:21:12.000 Look, let's have a compromise.

00:21:13.000 There needs to be a give and take.

00:21:15.000 What's the give?

00:21:16.000 We know what you take.

00:21:16.000 You take guns.

00:21:17.000 You take rights.

00:21:18.000 Red flag laws. 0.70

00:21:19.000 What's the give?

00:21:20.000 Someone abuses it ten years in a federal penitentiary?

00:21:23.000 Can we do that?

00:21:25.000 Can we have very clear punishments for abusive red flag laws?

00:21:29.000 Because if you don't, this is a violation of your fundamental rights. Yeah and

00:21:34.000 just to be clear we are not opposed to states being able to make their own rules in certain

00:21:38.000 situations but the states are going to be making rules on a law that shouldn't exist right this

00:21:42.000 law should not exist nationally for these very reasons also states shouldn't be making rules

00:21:46.000 that contradict the second amendment.

00:21:49.000 Right.

00:21:49.000 Like it shouldn't be there in the first place.

00:21:51.000 I'm generally a federalist.

00:21:52.000 This is one of the few areas it's not a state issue.

00:21:54.000 Yeah.

00:21:54.000 No, it's not a state issue because this is not some random law that was passed by Congress 15 years ago and upheld by the Supreme Court erroneously.

00:22:01.000 This is something in our founding documents that we've said is important to us existing as a country.

00:22:06.000 Right.

00:22:06.000 We can be another country if we want to have a different law, different group of amendments.

00:22:09.000 That's fine.

00:22:09.000 But we're not that country.

00:22:10.000 Yeah.

00:22:11.000 For example, they try and say, oh, infringing on your rights by using the wrong pronouns on a carrier.

00:22:17.000 Can you imagine?

00:22:18.000 How dare you?

00:22:19.000 What about infringing upon your rights if you are living in a violent area of town in, I don't know, New York or Los Angeles?

00:22:25.000 I'm just picking them randomly.

00:22:27.000 Or Chicago, where they have incredibly strict gun laws.

00:22:30.000 Is that not an infringement of your rights?

00:22:31.000 Your ability to defend yourself?

00:22:33.000 Hey, by the way, I know they're not convenient today.

00:22:35.000 They're not really a valuable tool, a valuable pawn for you.

00:22:40.000 Remember the Stop the Asian Hate?

00:22:41.000 Stop the Asian Hate?

00:22:43.000 Seems to me that maybe in a place like California, where these blue states will obviously enact incredibly restrictive gun laws, might make it harder for them to defend themselves.

00:22:51.000 They might have a word or two about that.

00:22:52.000 Yeah.

00:22:57.000 There's no audio on this.

00:22:58.000 Oh, gee.

00:22:59.000 Oh.

00:22:59.000 Oh, wow.

00:23:00.000 It sucked. 0.98

00:23:01.000 What happened? 0.99

00:23:02.000 Wrong pronoun?

00:23:03.000 Yeah, that's what I think.

00:23:04.000 Yeah.

00:23:05.000 It is ma'am.

00:23:06.000 Goodness.

00:23:07.000 So then they also say there's the serious relationship loophole.

00:23:13.000 Serious partner loophole.

00:23:14.000 Sorry.

00:23:15.000 Play clip F again.

00:23:16.000 This is where they say boyfriend loophole in the media.

00:23:18.000 It addresses the so-called boyfriend loophole.

00:23:22.000 Yes, you so-called it that.

00:23:23.000 Is it just boys though?

00:23:27.000 Yeah, in the Washington Post, they said it.

00:23:29.000 With all the new sexy pronouns, it's just the boys?

00:23:33.000 Yeah, it's just the boyfriend loophole.

00:23:34.000 Doesn't make sense.

00:23:39.000 Loopholes are for the boys!

00:23:41.000 Yes.

00:23:42.000 So, hey, I have a question.

00:23:44.000 Question for ya.

00:23:47.000 What are we talking about here?

00:23:48.000 What is this loophole?

00:23:49.000 Now, I understand domestic violence, meaning if someone is an actual serial abuser, you know, statistically more likely to be a woman. 0.78

00:23:54.000 Statistically even more likely to be a lesbian woman. 1.00

00:23:57.000 All references available at lottoesquire.com and you can also go to batteredlesbians.org and give generously.

00:24:02.000 We've set that up.

00:24:04.000 My question is what constitutes, we know right now that it already exists if you're convicted.

00:24:09.000 Right now, if you're convicted of domestic abuse, you can't own a firearm if you domestically abuse your wife or domestically abuse your husband.

00:24:18.000 So what is this?

00:24:18.000 Well, this expands it.

00:24:20.000 It allows the states to expand it to any degree that they want where it just can be a serious partner, which can really just mean anyone you've dated.

00:24:28.000 And by the way, it's really easy.

00:24:31.000 You don't have to be convicted.

00:24:32.000 Someone can just get a restraining order by going before a judge and saying, hey, he hit me, and abuse that system, and you lose your right to defend yourself.

00:24:39.000 But we've never seen that, Mattress Girl.

00:24:41.000 We've never seen that, UVA.

00:24:43.000 We've never seen that, Duke Lacrosse.

00:24:45.000 We've never seen that, Amber Heard.

00:24:46.000 That's a very real scenario where, let's say if they lived stateside, as opposed to their castle, their chateau in France, where Johnny Depp Could have had his right to own firearms removed because of something that we know is false from Amber Heard.

00:25:00.000 That's a very real scenario.

00:25:02.000 And by the way, it happens all the time.

00:25:03.000 Comment below if you're one of those guys or if you're one of those women.

00:25:06.000 Usually happens to guys.

00:25:09.000 Well, the process to get it back is painful.

00:25:12.000 Well, the process to get it back if you're convicted is very long, but that's... That, yes.

00:25:18.000 But even if you're innocent, this is one of those things you're guilty until proven innocent, almost.

00:25:23.000 Like, somebody can go and make an allegation against you, and then you can have your gun rights taken away, and then you have to go and prove No, wait a minute.

00:25:29.000 That's wrong.

00:25:30.000 I never did any of this.

00:25:31.000 I never said any of that.

00:25:33.000 By the way, we only dated, we only went out twice.

00:25:36.000 That was not a serious relationship.

00:25:39.000 You know?

00:25:39.000 It's so subjective now.

00:25:41.000 And they actually said in the bill, they were having a really hard time defining this.

00:25:44.000 Or in the article about the bill.

00:25:46.000 They were having a really hard time defining this and they couldn't come up with a good way to do it.

00:25:49.000 So instead of actually doing their jobs and figuring out a way to define this to make sure that it wasn't put onto the states, they just said, we have no idea.

00:25:56.000 We'll let them decide.

00:25:58.000 Yeah.

00:25:58.000 By the way, do you ever just wonder when you look at these, you go, hundreds of billions of dollars to just say, Hey, State, do that.

00:26:04.000 Put my name on that.

00:26:05.000 You're like, well, how does that cost hundreds of billions of dollars?

00:26:06.000 You just wrote a sheet of paper.

00:26:07.000 Well, there's this paperwork and then you have to file it.

00:26:09.000 You're not doing anything!

00:26:11.000 There's a filer.

00:26:12.000 Usually when I file something, it is around half a bill.

00:26:16.000 Yeah.

00:26:16.000 Well, you know.

00:26:17.000 This is a good law where it's just like, I'd like to get a firearm.

00:26:20.000 Have you been in a relationship with someone?

00:26:22.000 Yes.

00:26:23.000 Please get out of my store. You know what? Something we're not talking about either.

00:26:26.000 We've gone through this and now people have had a chance to dissect it and kind of understand

00:26:30.000 what it says. The senators that voted on this got this bill two hours before the vote.

00:26:35.000 I was going to say they didn't dissect it. And somebody made a snarky remark to like a

00:26:38.000 fifth grader could have read it in about an hour and I'm like it's not about reading a bill it's

00:26:42.000 about comprehending the bill and understanding the unintended consequences in the bill. Fact

00:26:46.000 checking the bill to make sure these things are true and then also all the stuff in the bill that

00:26:50.000 doesn't have anything to do with gun control at all. By the way name one of these provisions in

00:26:55.000 here that potentially could have stopped the shooting. And remember before you say he was

00:26:59.000 18 year old and had a rifle he also had handguns. He could have gone into that building with handguns

00:27:04.000 as well. Right.

00:27:05.000 That would have happened.

00:27:06.000 He had them.

00:27:07.000 Shouldn't have had them.

00:27:08.000 That was illegal.

00:27:08.000 That was already illegal.

00:27:10.000 Tell me what would have stopped this.

00:27:13.000 What are you doing?

00:27:14.000 The police?

00:27:16.000 We'd like to think so.

00:27:17.000 Yeah.

00:27:17.000 But no.

00:27:18.000 No.

00:27:18.000 Well.

00:27:19.000 No.

00:27:19.000 That didn't work.

00:27:20.000 Ballistic shields?

00:27:20.000 No.

00:27:21.000 No.

00:27:21.000 We'll get to that.

00:27:22.000 Oh boy.

00:27:23.000 Yeah, those things are, you know.

00:27:24.000 Can't have that.

00:27:25.000 An armed guard.

00:27:26.000 So it sounds good.

00:27:27.000 What constitutes domestic abuse?

00:27:28.000 Hey, look.

00:27:29.000 Women. 0.81

00:27:30.000 Let me put you in this picture, because let's be honest.

00:27:32.000 Statistically, women are more likely to be domestic abusers, but women are far more likely to file restraining orders and abuse a system to accuse someone of being a domestic abuser. 0.78

00:27:38.000 That is a fact, okay?

00:27:40.000 References available at ladderworthcreditor.com.

00:27:41.000 But let's say you're a woman who is now dating a guy. 1.00

00:27:45.000 Or is married to a man. 0.97

00:27:47.000 Who has a crazy ex-girlfriend. 0.80

00:27:49.000 This is an unrealistic scenario. 0.98

00:27:50.000 I know, women, you've never had to deal with the crazy ex of your boyfriend who is falsely accusing him of abuse.

00:27:57.000 And now your man can't have a gun in your house to protect you and your kids.

00:28:02.000 Do you see the problem?

00:28:03.000 Do you see the unintended consequences?

00:28:04.000 Look, you start with constitutional rights.

00:28:08.000 Period.

00:28:08.000 You have the right to own a firearm.

00:28:10.000 And then, if people violate other people's constitutional rights through force, if people violate the law, not new laws that you create, but constitutional laws, that's the only way that someone would forfeit any right to a firearm.

00:28:23.000 By the way, I love how they say, this would not affect law-abiding citizens at all.

00:28:27.000 Well, guess what?

00:28:27.000 You were a law-abiding citizen yesterday in Rhode Island.

00:28:29.000 No, you're not.

00:28:30.000 Whoops.

00:28:30.000 It goes into effect July 1st.

00:28:32.000 But my point is this.

00:28:32.000 Ten round magazines.

00:28:34.000 Yeah.

00:28:34.000 Now illegal.

00:28:35.000 You were legal.

00:28:36.000 You were a law-abiding citizen, but now you're not.

00:28:38.000 You can own a gun, but we've neutered it.

00:28:39.000 Right.

00:28:40.000 Essentially.

00:28:40.000 So I hope you took really good training, middle-of-the-night shooting practice.

00:28:44.000 And this is at the same time, I believe it's, is it New York or California where they're not allowing police to pursue criminals on foot?

00:28:50.000 That just came out.

00:28:51.000 I think it was Chicago, was it Chicago or LA?

00:28:54.000 We'll have to find it.

00:28:55.000 We'll have to find it.

00:28:55.000 They just did it because it's like, oh, because the last couple of times we've chased people that pulled guns on us, we shot and defended ourselves.

00:29:01.000 Right.

00:29:01.000 And we don't, that just looks bad.

00:29:03.000 So we want them to, you know, just run off into your neighborhood where, of course, you're not allowed to have firearms.

00:29:08.000 Well, what we've looked at is San Francisco, and it looks like that all those free, you know, lootings, they look good.

00:29:13.000 And here's another one where people, they say straw purchases, and this has often been used interchangeably with the gun show loophole.

00:29:18.000 Here's my question.

00:29:20.000 What does this bill actually do?

00:29:22.000 How does it change the laws of straw purchases?

00:29:26.000 What is a straw purchase?

00:29:29.000 Now let me be clear about this.

00:29:30.000 This is one thing that really confused me.

00:29:31.000 I tried to spend time with the bill this morning and I couldn't make sense of it.

00:29:34.000 And let me explain to you why.

00:29:35.000 It doesn't make sense!

00:29:38.000 So, here's what it is.

00:29:39.000 A straw purchase.

00:29:41.000 For example, I've done this where I've had classic firearms or something like that and I've transferred them.

00:29:46.000 I've had my half-Asian lawyer do a bill of transfer to family members.

00:29:49.000 Things like that.

00:29:50.000 This is something that happens.

00:29:51.000 Okay.

00:29:52.000 That's legal to do.

00:29:53.000 People try and act as though that's a gun show loophole where you simply go to a gun show or you go online and just a bunch of people are transferring you firearms.

00:29:59.000 Right.

00:30:01.000 It is already illegal, just to be clear, for example, let's say I had an old single-action revolver, like an old Navy revolver, and transferred it to my dad as a gift, okay?

00:30:10.000 It would already be illegal for me to do that if he cannot legally own a firearm, meaning if he's a felon, right?

00:30:17.000 We'd both be on the hook.

00:30:18.000 It's already illegal.

00:30:21.000 So this doesn't make the transfer what people consider the gun show loophole.

00:30:25.000 It doesn't even make that illegal.

00:30:27.000 It just makes it more illegal-er if I transfer privately to a criminal relative or friend.

00:30:35.000 It's double secret illegal.

00:30:37.000 Exactly!

00:30:39.000 It all makes sense.

00:30:40.000 And it adds, by the way, it adds.

00:30:43.000 Exportation.

00:30:45.000 So in other words, it's now extra illegal for you to transfer off the books guns to the Mexican drug cartel.

00:30:53.000 That needed to be... Because they're having a problem finding them. 0.96

00:30:58.000 What am I going to do with all my records?

00:31:01.000 I don't know, man.

00:31:02.000 No one's left unscathed in this one.

00:31:04.000 I have all my books.

00:31:07.000 What's the point of being a bookkeeper if you don't have evidence?

00:31:10.000 Making it more illegal-er.

00:31:11.000 More illegal-er.

00:31:13.000 Because people think, oh, red flag laws, that's very clearly defined.

00:31:15.000 No, it's not.

00:31:16.000 Oh, wait, the domestic abuser law.

00:31:17.000 I can't believe we didn't have that in the books.

00:31:18.000 We already do.

00:31:19.000 They're just a clear-cut legal definition.

00:31:21.000 Oh, wait a second, they're going to close the loophole where you can't do private transfers.

00:31:23.000 You can.

00:31:24.000 They're just going to make it illegal to give it to criminals, which was already illegal anyway.

00:31:27.000 And by the way, none of this is at a federal level.

00:31:29.000 It kicks it to the states.

00:31:31.000 Right.

00:31:32.000 And this is the thing, this is the thing here, okay?

00:31:35.000 This is not a state issue.

00:31:38.000 And I'm someone who believes that the states are great, great little science labs where you can just, fine, you guys want to legalize hallucinogenic mushrooms?

00:31:46.000 Great!

00:31:47.000 Texas can say that they don't want to do that.

00:31:49.000 You guys want to have a different property tax?

00:31:51.000 Fine.

00:31:52.000 You guys want to have a different school system?

00:31:53.000 You guys want to allow school vouchers?

00:31:54.000 Great!

00:31:54.000 States have the right to do these things.

00:31:55.000 States do not have the right, for example, to tell you that you can't speak out against the government.

00:32:00.000 States do not have the right to tell you that your First Amendment no longer applies.

00:32:04.000 They can't do that because it is one of your fundamental human rights.

00:32:07.000 What does that mean?

00:32:08.000 People will say, oh, rights are just a...

00:32:10.000 Rights are just an illusion, the idea of God-given rights. 0.96

00:32:13.000 Well, look, even if you think that, that's still how we recognize them here in this country, and it's a very different form of recognition than in other countries.

00:32:18.000 That's why we're the only one with the First Amendment, and we're the only country with the Second Amendment to protect it.

00:32:22.000 This is not a state issue. 0.58

00:32:25.000 So the shitty little libertarians who are in an internship at a think tank, who say, ugh, it's a state thing. 0.93

00:32:31.000 It's not. 0.98

00:32:31.000 This is not one. 0.98

00:32:32.000 I'm not saying all libertarians, but I'm saying there are some who've made that argument.

00:32:34.000 This goes to the states.

00:32:37.000 None of this should go to the states.

00:32:38.000 And let me be really clear about something, too.

00:32:41.000 Something that's really been bothering me lately is the false pseudo-intellectual platitudes that you hear.

00:32:45.000 People say, oh, freedom is just an illusion.

00:32:47.000 You know what?

00:32:47.000 That may be.

00:32:48.000 But you know what's a greater illusion?

00:32:50.000 The idea of security here in this country.

00:32:53.000 The idea that you're going to protect people by removing guns.

00:32:57.000 Hey, the idea of security.

00:32:58.000 You believe the TSA can actually stop a terrorist attack?

00:33:01.000 You have any idea how easy it would be?

00:33:05.000 Do you think the FBI is keeping you safe?

00:33:08.000 Security here in the United States, which is the constant, it's the constant cloud of security threats that allows this government to violate you of your fundamental rights.

00:33:17.000 It really is an illusion.

00:33:18.000 You can comment below.

00:33:19.000 Does anybody really believe that this government can keep us safe? 0.98

00:33:23.000 Keep us safe both from external threats with the military that uses the proper pronouns, and by proper I mean improper pronouns, and from internal threats like, I don't know, school shooters who leave doors unlocked and police are too big of a pu- they're too big of a of a troop of pussies to do anything about. 1.00

00:33:35.000 You really think that security is real? 0.87

00:33:37.000 So look, if you want to say that freedom is an illusion, and you hear this and I was taught this in college, okay, but you know what?

00:33:43.000 If the government says that I'm free from their shackles, I'm not enslaved to the government, at least that allows me the illusion of being enslaved to God.

00:33:50.000 Enslaved to my family, my life.

00:33:53.000 So if it's an illusion, at least it's an illusion with some degree of choice.

00:33:57.000 We have no choice over whether the government efficiently does their job to prevent me from being gunned down or not.

00:34:03.000 Freedom's an illusion.

00:34:04.000 No, security, safety is an illusion.

00:34:06.000 That's why you can't enforce it.

00:34:10.000 Well, and they've never been able to do that.

00:34:11.000 They've never been able to do it, and our founding fathers knew it, and that's why they said, you have to have the right to do this, and also to make sure that these guys don't get too big of a head and think they can just tell you to do whatever they want, which is what they're doing right now.

00:34:22.000 And a lot of Republicans, if you're out there and you're a conservative and you're saying that this is, a step needs to be taken, there's a reason that there's been a logjam with gun bills, because the last one didn't really do anything, even though they'll tell you that it did.

00:34:34.000 We have stats to prove that it didn't.

00:34:36.000 And if you're going to start to try to make a difference with guns in America, start with criminals.

00:34:43.000 All you're doing is taking guns out of law-abiding citizens' hands, or at least people that you can just throw under the bus and say, because of a red flag, we're gonna make sure you don't have a gun.

00:34:50.000 It does nothing!

00:34:51.000 Well look, that no-fly list worked like a charm.

00:34:53.000 Just ask Stephen Hayes, the political commentator, whose name I guess sounded exactly like well-known Sharia law enthusiast Stephen Hayes.

00:35:01.000 No, when you go through TSA at LaGuardia, there's a never forget thing with 9-11 and it's like, you know that was a bad day for you.

00:35:08.000 I don't know why you're hanging that up like, remember?

00:35:08.000 Right.

00:35:10.000 Remember when we failed at our job?

00:35:12.000 That's why we have jobs now.

00:35:13.000 We let this guy go through.

00:35:15.000 I got on a plane accidentally with wire clippers and a bottle of Ballastol.

00:35:20.000 Yeah, I had a knife on it.

00:35:22.000 That's a combustible gun cleaner. 0.95

00:35:24.000 The guy, I remember TSA, the guy saw the wire clippers.

00:35:29.000 He was like, big nail clippers.

00:35:30.000 I was like, you're just going to put that back?

00:35:33.000 First he's making fun of you, and second, what?

00:35:36.000 Big nail clippers.

00:35:37.000 I think he was touched.

00:35:38.000 I had an underwear bomb.

00:35:39.000 It did not function properly. 0.61

00:35:40.000 The guy next to me beat the crap out of me. 0.55

00:35:44.000 That's how they do it in Detroit.

00:35:45.000 Hey, by the way, if you're watching, I have no idea if this is still on YouTube right now.

00:35:48.000 This is a live show Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m.

00:35:50.000 Eastern.

00:35:51.000 You can watch on Mug Club, you can watch on Rumble.

00:35:53.000 If we are not on YouTube and we do not let you know, go watch it on Mug Club.

00:35:56.000 And we have an extended show here today, of course, an hour most days on Mug Club.

00:36:00.000 Today's show might go a little bit late.

00:36:03.000 Let me bring you to this.

00:36:03.000 All right.

00:36:06.000 So, I'm trying to think of how to...

00:36:10.000 There's no good way to approach this.

00:36:12.000 There's no good way to approach this.

00:36:14.000 But this does tie into the idea of a gun control bill.

00:36:16.000 And I'm just going to say this.

00:36:17.000 Any Republican, not just, I'm not just talking about a vote.

00:36:20.000 Any Republican, any conservative commentator, I have a rule, you know this, where you don't, no friendly fire.

00:36:25.000 I typically try and avoid criticizing people who I think are mostly conservative, even though I disagree with them on issues.

00:36:32.000 Anyone who supports this, you will be in our crosses.

00:36:34.000 Figuratively, of course.

00:36:37.000 It's gonna be ugly.

00:36:39.000 Just so you know.

00:36:40.000 It's about time now that, and I'm a cultural guy, going to use this platform to make sure, don't care who you are, don't care if you've been on the show, don't care if you're a friend, if you are on board with these red flag laws, if you are on board with what is in this bill, if you even so much as allude or infer anything other than total opposition, we're going to make sure that every single person watching and listening knows your name.

00:37:02.000 I just want to be clear, the game has changed.

00:37:06.000 Here's why.

00:37:08.000 Tuesday there was a testimony on the Uvalde shooting, and this was Colonel, I think, Steve McGraw, the Texas Director of Public Safety.

00:37:16.000 And there's a story of a man, Uvalde, when people say, oh, a good guy with a gun?

00:37:21.000 Yeah.

00:37:22.000 A man whose wife was a teacher was dying.

00:37:27.000 He tried to get in and save her, and he was actually detained and disarmed.

00:37:33.000 By the police who are busy not doing their job.

00:37:35.000 Here's a clip.

00:37:36.000 Not a just random good guy.

00:37:36.000 Yeah.

00:37:37.000 Officer Weiss whose wife called him and said she was she was been shot and she's dying

00:37:43.000 So certainly those things and what happened to him was he tried to move forward into the hallway his he was he was

00:37:50.000 detained And they took his gun away from him and escorted him off

00:37:53.000 the scene Yeah, not a just random good guy an officer

00:38:00.000 Mm-hmm was detained Well, guess what?

00:38:03.000 to go and save his wife. Can you imagine getting a phone call from your spouse or from somebody

00:38:09.000 that you love dearly if you don't have a spouse. Hey I've been shot and I'm dying. I know you're

00:38:14.000 probably 50 feet away in the hallway. This is what turns law-abiding citizens, no law-abiding

00:38:19.000 citizen. Well guess what? I'm just gonna, if that man, let's just be honest here because people will

00:38:24.000 try and say I'm an extremist with this comment and I want everyone in this room right now to answer

00:38:28.000 honestly because I'm going to step on a limb.

00:38:29.000 If you're that man and your wife is calling you, or your child is calling you saying, I am dying, and you are on the other side of that door, and you have a gun, and someone is trying to detain you, would you hesitate to shoot that person out of the way?

00:38:41.000 Would anyone here hesitate? 0.83

00:38:42.000 I'd wing them.

00:38:43.000 Get them out of the way.

00:38:43.000 Whatever I have to do to get in there.

00:38:45.000 Because they just turned you into a criminal.

00:38:47.000 They just turned you into a criminal by trying to save your wife's life, or at least be able to speak some last words to her. 0.90

00:38:54.000 I'm not saying you should go around shooting cops at all. 0.99

00:38:57.000 What I'm saying is that guy, who was an officer, was now forced to decide between last words with his wife, the love of his life, or Well, you know, you just hear these stupid people at the NRA, the idea of a good guy with a gun stops a bad guy with a gun. 0.99

00:39:12.000 That's just a fantasy, a myth. 0.98

00:39:12.000 fourth grade teacher. She was one of the two teachers who was killed. So this brings us 0.98

00:39:16.000 to you don't have you do not have a corner on outrage left.

00:39:21.000 Right? And this is a claim that they'll often make, but make after these shootings.

00:39:24.000 Well, you know, you just hear these stupid people, the NRA, the idea of a good guy with a gun 1.00

00:39:28.000 stops a bad guy with a gun. 1.00

00:39:29.000 That's just a fantasy, a myth. You're not trained. Okay, well, let's go through a few

00:39:34.000 examples in the last three days. But first, today in the New York Times, between 2000

00:39:38.000 and 2021, mass shootings were stopped 22 times by a bystander shooting the attacker.

00:39:45.000 22 times!

00:39:46.000 And that's in a place, guess, we were talking about a lot of places like New York where people don't own guns.

00:39:51.000 That's where a lot of these mass shootings take place.

00:39:55.000 And that number would be higher if more people were carrying firearms.

00:39:58.000 Not to mention the two to three million defensive uses of firearms each year, compared to tens of thousands of homicides, mostly gang-related.

00:40:06.000 And to hear right now, to shut this down forever, I just had, and Kevin here, a researcher, did some really fantastic work, because we've gone through how many examples there are of good guys with a gun, but these are just a few examples here within the last week or so.

00:40:23.000 Defensive uses.

00:40:24.000 Particularly women. 0.71

00:40:25.000 Here's yesterday.

00:40:28.000 A woman in Natchitoches, if I'm pronouncing this correctly, Natchitoches, Louisiana, shot a man invading her bedroom.

00:40:36.000 My guess is he wasn't selling Girl Scout cookies.

00:40:39.000 Not a serious partner. 1.00

00:40:41.000 You son of a bitch. 1.00

00:40:46.000 Former lover. 1.00

00:40:47.000 Part-time lover.

00:40:50.000 Uh, yesterday, Clearwater, Florida.

00:40:52.000 A woman shot a man entering her bedroom.

00:40:54.000 Again, I'm noticing a trend here.

00:40:56.000 Hey, what about rape culture? 0.99

00:40:57.000 Stop rape culture. 1.00

00:40:58.000 Well, here's a good way.

00:41:00.000 Here's a good way, and it's not through Believe All Women. 1.00

00:41:02.000 That lends itself to stupid laws, like the Boyfriend Loophole Law. 0.97

00:41:06.000 How about the Allow All... How about instead of Believe... Hashtag Believe All Women, Hashtag Allow All Women to Defend Themselves. 0.99

00:41:13.000 How about that?

00:41:14.000 Novel idea.

00:41:15.000 June 19th, Phoenix, Arizona.

00:41:17.000 Um, a woman, uh, was being assaulted by her boyfriend.

00:41:21.000 Shot.

00:41:22.000 Shot him. 1.00

00:41:23.000 Or shot at him. 0.96

00:41:24.000 I don't know if she hit him. 0.96

00:41:25.000 Women aren't always the best at aiming. 1.00

00:41:25.000 Yeah. 1.00

00:41:26.000 That's okay.

00:41:27.000 Baby steps.

00:41:30.000 So that's just from the last... Leave your men.

00:41:31.000 Have you seen the bathroom here?

00:41:33.000 Come on, guys.

00:41:35.000 That's just from the last couple of days.

00:41:37.000 Yeah.

00:41:38.000 And this happens millions of times per year.

00:41:42.000 And you just saw a clear example with a man who... I don't know that he would have saved his wife.

00:41:46.000 Not saying he would have.

00:41:48.000 Doesn't matter.

00:41:49.000 It could not be less relevant.

00:41:50.000 Deserve the chance.

00:41:51.000 Well, yeah, it's 0% though if you do nothing.

00:41:53.000 Yeah.

00:41:54.000 Or stop, so.

00:41:56.000 Well, and if I'm not mistaken, one of these teachers that died, died on the way to the hospital.

00:42:03.000 I don't know for sure, but yeah, I read that in some of the reports and so if that is in fact true,

00:42:07.000 and I don't know that it was this one, it may have been one of the, you know, the only other teacher

00:42:10.000 that was killed, but if that's true, then time mattered.

00:42:13.000 Right. Even if he, even if he couldn't do anything to prevent her being shot, obviously she had

00:42:17.000 been shot at that point, he could have gotten pressure on a wound. He could have gotten a shot. He

00:42:21.000 could have gotten a shot.

00:42:21.000 He could have dragged her out and gotten her to a medic.

00:42:23.000 He could have given her a fighting chance, said last words.

00:42:25.000 All of these, like, you could not keep me back.

00:42:28.000 Like, there's nothing that I wouldn't do to get to my wife who's been shot and called.

00:42:33.000 I can't imagine getting that call.

00:42:35.000 There would just be nothing you could do.

00:42:35.000 Yeah.

00:42:36.000 And you know what?

00:42:40.000 Whatever it is that he could have done, coulda, woulda, shoulda, would have been more than what the cops did, which was nothing.

00:42:45.000 Nothing.

00:42:47.000 Not something.

00:42:48.000 I know what some of you are thinking.

00:42:49.000 Right.

00:42:50.000 Something?

00:42:50.000 No.

00:42:51.000 Mm-mm.

00:42:52.000 Well, they stood in the hallway.

00:42:53.000 Yeah.

00:42:53.000 They did, looking... With an aggressive posture.

00:42:56.000 Not really.

00:42:57.000 Not really that aggressive.

00:42:57.000 Not even that.

00:42:58.000 They were standing like Vanity when learning how to walk.

00:43:00.000 They were behind a brick wall, like, kind of peering out occasionally to an empty hallway.

00:43:04.000 Right.

00:43:04.000 It was really exciting.

00:43:06.000 Yeah.

00:43:06.000 Is it lunch yet?

00:43:07.000 Yeah.

00:43:08.000 Mmm.

00:43:08.000 I wonder if the bell will ring and he'll go out of the classroom.

00:43:11.000 Listening to gunfire.

00:43:13.000 Yeah.

00:43:13.000 Yep.

00:43:14.000 That you clearly wasn't an automatic weapon, meaning they could have gone down there and at least one of them could have got him.

00:43:21.000 Oh, but it would be dangerous for officers.

00:43:24.000 Then you shouldn't be an officer.

00:43:25.000 Draw his fire. 0.99

00:43:27.000 What the hell? 0.98

00:43:28.000 So, all right. 0.94

00:43:29.000 Let's get to the Uvalde.

00:43:31.000 I say Uvalde because I say it in the right Hispanic way. 0.99

00:43:33.000 Uvalde.

00:43:34.000 I don't care.

00:43:35.000 An update here on Uvalde.

00:43:36.000 And I want, uh, you know, this is one of those, I very rarely use the word disgusted.

00:43:42.000 That's the easiest thing for pundits to say, you know, these like talking heads. 0.98

00:43:44.000 Disgusting. 1.00

00:43:45.000 This is disgusting. 0.99

00:43:47.000 I honestly was sick to my stomach this morning reading about this.

00:43:50.000 Is it just me?

00:43:51.000 Am I into this too deep at this point?

00:43:55.000 I found myself literally nauseous this morning when reading about this with Uvalde and what the cops did.

00:44:03.000 Here, what do we have here, this first clip?

00:44:05.000 What's the next clip?

00:44:05.000 It's Colonel Steve McGraw, he called the police chief's response, that's right, he called it an abject failure here before Texas Senate special committee hearing.

00:44:15.000 And then we'll get into, this is important, the claims that were made, and I'll need you to admonish me, and I'll explain to you why, the claims that were made then, that everyone believed, including people in this room, versus what we know now.

00:44:29.000 Because this, you don't need a conspiracy To see the ugliest side of humanity.

00:44:37.000 And I mean that. 0.99

00:44:38.000 The ugliest, most cowardly side of humanity. 0.99

00:44:41.000 And yes, that applies to every police officer. 0.99

00:44:44.000 Don't care if you wanted to do the right thing?

00:44:45.000 You didn't.

00:44:48.000 Here's a colonel doing it.

00:44:50.000 There's compelling evidence that the law enforcement response to the attack at Robb Elementary It was an abject failure and antithetical to everything we've learned over the last two decades since the Columbine Massacre.

00:45:04.000 Three minutes after the subject entered the West Building, there were a sufficient number of armed officers wearing body armor to isolate, distract, and neutralize the subject.

00:45:16.000 The only thing stopping a hallway of dedicated officers from entering Room 111 and 112 was the on-scene commander.

00:45:24.000 Who decided to place the lives of officers before the lives of children.

00:45:28.000 One hour, 14 minutes and 8 seconds.

00:45:32.000 That's how long the children waited and the teachers waited in rooms 111 to be rescued.

00:45:40.000 And while they waited, the on-seat commander waited for radio and rifles.

00:45:47.000 Then he waited for shields.

00:45:49.000 Then he waited for SWAT.

00:45:52.000 Lastly, he waited for a key that was never needed.

00:45:54.000 And that's it.

00:46:15.000 After murder, one, two, three, four.

00:46:18.000 Some of them were entirely preventable.

00:46:20.000 Yeah.

00:46:21.000 I don't mean through some sort of abstract idea of a law somewhere.

00:46:26.000 I mean, no, there were people there with the equipment they needed to stop a threat, to stop a murderous psychopath from killing children, and they didn't.

00:46:35.000 So let's go through exactly what that is.

00:46:37.000 What we were told back then, right?

00:46:40.000 We were told that the gunman was already inside a locked classroom.

00:46:45.000 By the way, really quickly, admonish me.

00:46:48.000 Everyone here.

00:46:48.000 Admonish everyone in the studio.

00:46:50.000 We all believed that.

00:46:51.000 Remember this?

00:46:52.000 We all did.

00:46:53.000 Sounded reasonable.

00:46:54.000 We all believed that the door was locked.

00:46:56.000 Yeah.

00:46:56.000 And I remember even talking about this thing, well maybe we need to make some kind of breaching tool to be standard with police officers as opposed to having to wait for SWAT.

00:47:03.000 We'll get to that too because I was also wrong about that.

00:47:06.000 It turned out that tool was a hand.

00:47:08.000 Yes.

00:47:10.000 These are technical terms that Dave knows that we need not concern ourselves with.

00:47:13.000 That's why we have him as our technical door opening advisor.

00:47:16.000 That's what I do.

00:47:17.000 They just needed to pull a Harry from Home Alone and go, Or a push.

00:47:21.000 Right?

00:47:22.000 Light push.

00:47:23.000 If only there had been a breeze!

00:47:25.000 So remember, Chief Arredondo, he claimed that he tried dozens of keys from the hallway.

00:47:29.000 And here's an actual quote.

00:47:31.000 Each time I tried a key, I was just praying.

00:47:34.000 Lock him up with a key and throw it away.

00:47:37.000 How about that?

00:47:38.000 Because it's not just... Oh, each time I... That's a lie.

00:47:41.000 That is a lie.

00:47:42.000 That's a lie because... Well, how do we know?

00:47:44.000 Here's what we know.

00:47:45.000 Now...

00:47:48.000 It wasn't.

00:47:49.000 It can't lock from the inside.

00:47:51.000 The classroom door, was it locked or not locked?

00:47:54.000 You cannot lock this door from the inside of the classroom.

00:47:58.000 That's also a problem.

00:47:59.000 There's nothing a teacher could do to lock the door inside the classroom.

00:48:01.000 The teacher can come outside the classroom, as the requirement is, to lock the door with a key, only with a key, and this right here, by turning it, you know, and locked into the locked position. And I can

00:48:16.000 actually have the door of another, this is this came from the west building, one of the doors

00:48:21.000 right here, and I can demonstrate that if you'd like at this time, Mr. Chairman. So the teacher

00:48:26.000 could not even lock the classroom door from the inside? That's correct. There's no way to lock the

00:48:31.000 door from the inside. There's no way for the subject to lock the door from the inside. I just

00:48:36.000 have to make a point really quickly here, because he's hiding behind the fact that, oh, I was waiting

00:48:41.000 on keys.

00:48:42.000 Look at the statement that we put up in the overlay.

00:48:44.000 77 minutes after this began.

00:48:47.000 It went on for 1 hour and 14 minutes.

00:48:53.000 77 minutes they finally were able to unlock the door.

00:48:57.000 Trying a dozen keys.

00:48:58.000 What is it, the janitor from Rocky and Bullwinkle?

00:49:00.000 Yeah.

00:49:00.000 Takes seconds, by the way.

00:49:01.000 So what were you doing for the other 75, 76 minutes?

00:49:07.000 You can't hide behind, the door was locked, even though we know it couldn't possibly be locked from the inside.

00:49:11.000 How many minutes in an average lifetime?

00:49:12.000 I don't know, but I hope he spends them behind bars.

00:49:14.000 Yeah.

00:49:15.000 So, this brings us to THEN what we were told.

00:49:20.000 Police didn't hesitate.

00:49:22.000 Here's Chief Arredondo.

00:49:24.000 Not a single responding officer ever hesitated, even for a moment, to put themselves at risk to save the children.

00:49:30.000 Here's what we know now.

00:49:32.000 Beyond any shadow of a doubt.

00:49:33.000 Instead of even trying to breach.

00:49:36.000 No, I'm not saying unsuccessfully breach.

00:49:38.000 Right, right, right, right.

00:49:39.000 Instead of even attempting to breach.

00:49:45.000 19 officers waited in the hallway with an unlocked door.

00:49:52.000 Waiting at the command of Chief Arradondo.

00:49:54.000 And this is the problem.

00:49:56.000 When weak—you know, Jordan Peterson has said this, and we've all talked about it—when weak people get into positions of power, that's a weak man, Chief Arradondo.

00:50:03.000 And unfortunately, because you have a chain of command, people have to follow a weak man.

00:50:09.000 Unbelievable.

00:50:09.000 By the way, also, even if the door had been locked—okay, here's another thing that we know—now, even if the door had been locked, they actually had—you can hit the no—they had a Halligan crowbar.

00:50:20.000 With them to break it open.

00:50:21.000 So they didn't have that.

00:50:22.000 So we were told they didn't have the tool.

00:50:23.000 They didn't have the tool.

00:50:24.000 They didn't need the tool.

00:50:25.000 They just needed to jiggle the handle.

00:50:27.000 By the way, if they were like, oh, we could have been shot through the door.

00:50:27.000 Yeah.

00:50:30.000 Did you see the guys with the big clear plasticky things?

00:50:32.000 Yeah.

00:50:33.000 Those are called ballistic shields.

00:50:34.000 You know what they do?

00:50:35.000 Right.

00:50:35.000 They stop or at least help you defend yourself against somebody shooting at you.

00:50:39.000 Right.

00:50:39.000 Right?

00:50:39.000 You could have walked.

00:50:40.000 You know who didn't have the ballistic shields?

00:50:42.000 Kids.

00:50:42.000 Teachers.

00:50:43.000 You know who also didn't have the ballistic shield?

00:50:45.000 The man they disarmed and detained who was trying to go in and save his wife.

00:50:48.000 This is also... Don't underestimate this.

00:50:50.000 Let me ask you something really quickly.

00:50:51.000 Because people talk about this with guns.

00:50:52.000 Oh, a good guy with a gun?

00:50:53.000 You're saying you're more effective than a cop?

00:50:55.000 Yes.

00:50:55.000 Let me explain to you why.

00:50:57.000 Do you know what your kid needs better than you?

00:51:01.000 Better than a cop?

00:51:02.000 Sorry.

00:51:02.000 Do you know what your kid needs better than a cop?

00:51:04.000 Do you know what your kid needs better than a teacher?

00:51:07.000 Hey! 0.99

00:51:08.000 Would you say that you're more willing to go to extremes to save your child's life?

00:51:12.000 Then the local crossing guard.

00:51:16.000 Why aren't we accounting for that?

00:51:20.000 It's not just a good guy with a gun.

00:51:21.000 How about a motivated person with a gun?

00:51:23.000 Not motivated by a pension, a Cadillac pension with benefits, so long as they make sure to stay away from the calamities of the world that they're paid to serve and protect.

00:51:35.000 Why don't we discount that?

00:51:37.000 Hey, maybe, you know what?

00:51:38.000 Maybe I'm not great with a gun, but I'm willing to put myself in the line of fire to save my kids.

00:51:44.000 You're not!

00:51:45.000 Yeah.

00:51:45.000 What about this?

00:51:46.000 How about we put the 19 parents in that hallway whose kids were in that classroom, and let's see if they waited from 3 minutes to an hour and 14 minutes to go in unarmed.

00:51:55.000 Let's just not even give the parents guns.

00:51:57.000 Every one of them would have gone into that room to stop this with no weapons at all.

00:52:02.000 So we're trying to.

00:52:03.000 Yeah.

00:52:05.000 No, but the good thing is the cops are doing their job stopping them.

00:52:07.000 Oh yeah, well, I mean, that was the important part.

00:52:09.000 Yeah.

00:52:10.000 By doing nothing.

00:52:11.000 Yeah, by doing nothing.

00:52:12.000 Guarantee you, I would bet my life on it, pick the parents of the 19 kids, meaning I'm assuming that some of them have never shot a gun in their life.

00:52:20.000 Ever.

00:52:21.000 Give those 19 parents guns, put them in the halls, that shooter gets stopped.

00:52:24.000 That shooter gets stopped.

00:52:24.000 Yeah?

00:52:26.000 Well, what makes me think that?

00:52:27.000 I think they probably would have tried to open the door.

00:52:30.000 I think they would have been willing to enter the door, I think quite a few of them would have been taken out, and eventually one of them would have gone to the shooter.

00:52:37.000 I like the odds better.

00:52:37.000 But you know what?

00:52:39.000 And this is the problem with, you know I've always said this, we all have a worldview.

00:52:47.000 And if your worldview includes the belief that human beings are inherently flawed, are inherently sinful, are inherently looking out for their own best interests, then you have to be a conservative because the last thing you want to do is centralize the power of those people.

00:53:02.000 At least with a free enterprise system, it's mitigated.

00:53:05.000 If someone's corrupt over here, well, guess what?

00:53:08.000 You don't have to buy their product or service.

00:53:10.000 There's at least some competition.

00:53:11.000 The problem is when it's centralized government and they have a monopoly.

00:53:15.000 Like, for example, Security.

00:53:18.000 For example, the police force.

00:53:19.000 I'm not saying that we go out and make it a private police force and have mercenaries.

00:53:24.000 But what I am saying is, hey, we see when there's corruption, when there's weakness, and it's centralized.

00:53:24.000 That's not what I'm saying.

00:53:30.000 There's no way to safeguard against it.

00:53:35.000 The intruders in your house!

00:53:36.000 The intruders in your house!

00:53:38.000 The police were there!

00:53:40.000 I would actually argue they're an accessory to murder in stopping the father and the mothers who tried to go in and save those kids.

00:53:49.000 Again, am I in this too deep?

00:53:51.000 Is it just me?

00:53:52.000 Does that sound too extreme?

00:53:53.000 I think that the cop who stopped the man who was going in to save his wife with a firearm is bordering on accessory to murder.

00:54:04.000 I agree, actually.

00:54:05.000 And you know what?

00:54:09.000 No one wants to acknowledge what the problem is.

00:54:10.000 Hey, we're all the people talking about rooting out corruption.

00:54:12.000 No, not defund the police.

00:54:13.000 I'm not saying defund the police.

00:54:15.000 How about we make police accountable?

00:54:18.000 Oh, wait a second, wait a second.

00:54:19.000 Now we're dealing with unions.

00:54:21.000 Well, defunding police sure isn't helping.

00:54:23.000 Right.

00:54:23.000 I mean, you have people leaving the force early, you have good cops that don't want to do it, you have good people that don't want to do it, and you end up with this.

00:54:30.000 There's going to be more of this, though, with lower wages.

00:54:32.000 Yeah.

00:54:33.000 I mean, this is what's going to happen.

00:54:35.000 Make it performance-based.

00:54:38.000 And by performance-based, I don't mean civilian interactions.

00:54:41.000 This is a big dirty secret, too, that no one wants to talk about with police.

00:54:45.000 Some of these municipalities are based on civilian interactions.

00:54:47.000 You're actually considered a better cop if you give out eight speeding tickets in a night than if you stop one rapist.

00:54:51.000 Right.

00:54:52.000 So how about we change this with the police?

00:54:54.000 Let's start with this.

00:54:54.000 Common ground?

00:54:56.000 We don't need to defund anything.

00:54:57.000 Let's just keep the money where it is.

00:54:58.000 Let's just say we don't touch the money right now.

00:55:01.000 Yeah.

00:55:01.000 Make it performance-based.

00:55:03.000 Get rid of the unions.

00:55:05.000 And you're not a tax collector for the state.

00:55:06.000 You're there to serve and protect.

00:55:07.000 Yeah, it's a point system.

00:55:09.000 You know, tickets are maybe one point.

00:55:10.000 Stopping a rape is maybe a hundred.

00:55:12.000 Yeah.

00:55:13.000 You get an office party.

00:55:14.000 There you go.

00:55:15.000 Maybe a cake.

00:55:16.000 Stop a shooting, you get some paid leave.

00:55:18.000 There you go.

00:55:19.000 Not because you beat some old lady with a crowbar accidentally because she was carrying a firearm and you get paid leave as your punishment.

00:55:27.000 We do have a problem with the police here in this country.

00:55:29.000 Not all police, but look, just like I talked yesterday about women, white suburban women who are now going, I can't believe the formula shortage, I can't believe it, men competing in women's sports.

00:55:38.000 We called out white suburban women yesterday. 1.00

00:55:40.000 I know, it was a little hard on you.

00:55:42.000 Rightfully so.

00:55:43.000 Guess what?

00:55:43.000 You need to clean ranks.

00:55:44.000 Cops?

00:55:45.000 You have to do it too.

00:55:47.000 You have to do it now.

00:55:49.000 Any cop who doesn't come out now and say, this is disgusting, and we need reform of the police to make sure that this does not happen, you're part of the problem.

00:56:00.000 This is one of the few areas where you could actually argue that science equates to actual violence.

00:56:08.000 Silence, when you look at it, silence from all those officers who didn't say, hey, hey, maybe we should go in.

00:56:16.000 People died.

00:56:18.000 And you know what?

00:56:19.000 I know. 0.99

00:56:19.000 This sucks. 0.99

00:56:20.000 I hate to say it. 0.99

00:56:21.000 I know that some of these cops are dealing with guilt.

00:56:23.000 Believe me, it's not lost on me.

00:56:24.000 You're dealing with guilt.

00:56:25.000 I pray that we don't.

00:56:27.000 I really do pray that we don't see these officers end up committing suicide, which is not an altogether uncommon likelihood after scenarios like this.

00:56:34.000 I know they're dealing with trauma and stress, but you don't get to get off the hook, man.

00:56:38.000 Sorry.

00:56:39.000 Sorry.

00:56:40.000 Kids died that didn't have to because you didn't do the one job you're assigned to do.

00:56:47.000 It's not to create seatbelt laws.

00:56:49.000 It's not to enforce helmet laws.

00:56:53.000 That's not what you're there to do.

00:56:57.000 You're there to protect the lives of the most, particularly the most helpless among us, and protect our constitutional rights.

00:57:04.000 So if you're not going to protect, if the police aren't going to protect the most vulnerable among us, at least allow us to do it.

00:57:11.000 And instead we have a bill coming down the pike that says less of that.

00:57:14.000 Less of that, more centralized power to the cops.

00:57:15.000 Oh, and to the military, by the way, which includes psychopaths who would rather discuss myriad gender pronouns than their actual job.

00:57:24.000 Hey, this really comes down to maybe that it could be, let's just, let's just redefine job roles.

00:57:28.000 We do that here in this, uh, yeah.

00:57:30.000 If I just came onto this show today and you just heard the themes on it and I just, you said what he's doing, but I don't feel like doing my job today.

00:57:38.000 It's just I don't feel like doing it.

00:57:39.000 But you have one job.

00:57:40.000 Yeah, but I don't want to though.

00:57:43.000 I don't want to do it.

00:57:44.000 So let's define job roles.

00:57:46.000 Let's define job roles for teachers.

00:57:48.000 Let's define job roles for police officers.

00:57:49.000 How about the military?

00:57:50.000 I think your primary job as a police officer is to protect.

00:57:53.000 And by protect, what does that mean?

00:57:54.000 Protect citizens.

00:57:54.000 And by protecting the citizens, you protect their God-given constitutional rights.

00:57:58.000 And to serve.

00:57:59.000 Hey, doesn't that go back to some Christian principle?

00:58:01.000 Serving?

00:58:02.000 People who serve the best among us?

00:58:04.000 I don't know.

00:58:04.000 Something like that.

00:58:05.000 I believe it says it somewhere in the back.

00:58:06.000 Hey, military. 1.00

00:58:07.000 Your job is to kill and break shit. 1.00

00:58:11.000 Your job is to make... Your job is not... This is the thing. 1.00

00:58:15.000 Maternity suits. 0.87

00:58:17.000 I'm sorry.

00:58:19.000 Maternity suits for pregnant female pilots. 0.99

00:58:22.000 Gender pronouns.

00:58:23.000 Your job in the military is not to create a comfortable space for a diversity inclusion seminar. 0.99

00:58:30.000 Your job is to make the other guy's space, pardon me, as uncomfortable as fucking possible. 0.97

00:58:37.000 Well, and get used to extreme discomfort. 0.99

00:58:40.000 Yes.

00:58:40.000 From what I've heard from everybody that's ever served.

00:58:43.000 I have an idea right now.

00:58:45.000 Yes.

00:58:46.000 If you raise your hand and you say, I am so glad we're doing the pronouns thing, or thankfully I can have somebody, immediately you are removed from the service. 0.59

00:58:54.000 We do not require your services any longer.

00:58:57.000 If you're putting your tag in the email of my pronouns, if you introduce yourself, hi, I'm Gerald, he, Yeah.

00:59:04.000 Nobody's going into combat if that's their thing.

00:59:06.000 Sorry.

00:59:07.000 You know what you should be called?

00:59:08.000 Whatever your sergeant feels like calling you that day.

00:59:11.000 And you better pray it's not an embarrassing nickname that sticks.

00:59:14.000 And you better snap too when he calls you that.

00:59:16.000 Alright?

00:59:17.000 That's how this works.

00:59:18.000 I'm sorry.

00:59:19.000 This is not the military that we need.

00:59:20.000 Do you know what nickname sticks?

00:59:22.000 This is like a common thing in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu.

00:59:24.000 Whichever one you hate the most.

00:59:25.000 Oh yeah.

00:59:26.000 The one you've pushed back on the most.

00:59:27.000 Nobody gets T-Bone.

00:59:28.000 Right.

00:59:29.000 Nobody gets T-Bone.

00:59:30.000 Nobody gets T-Bone.

00:59:32.000 You look like Coco the Grinch.

00:59:33.000 T-Bone! 1.00

00:59:35.000 Name that reference! 0.62

00:59:35.000 T-Bone! 0.62

00:59:36.000 In comment below. 0.97

00:59:37.000 Speaking of disgusting.

00:59:38.000 Yes. 0.62

00:59:39.000 Uncomfortable.

00:59:40.000 Yes.

00:59:41.000 Unsightly.

00:59:41.000 Uncomfortable.

00:59:42.000 Yes.

00:59:42.000 Turns out that there's a study now, it was published in the Journal of Clinical and Translational Resource and Technology.

00:59:50.000 I don't know.

00:59:51.000 Insight?

00:59:51.000 Is that the name?

00:59:52.000 Do I have that right?

00:59:53.000 It sounds right. 1.00

00:59:54.000 It sounds really stupid though. 0.99

00:59:56.000 This is true. 1.00

00:59:57.000 Yes.

00:59:57.000 This is science.

00:59:58.000 This is 100% true.

00:59:58.000 Trust the science.

01:00:00.000 Follow it.

01:00:00.000 Maybe not this science.

01:00:02.000 Follow your nose.

01:00:05.000 Wear a mask too.

01:00:06.000 Don't do the Cocoa Puffs.

01:00:11.000 Fruit Loops?

01:00:12.000 Poopy Crisp.

01:00:14.000 Researchers have found, in layman's terms, basically, mammals can potentially breathe through their buttholes.

01:00:20.000 It's science.

01:00:24.000 And I didn't believe it.

01:00:25.000 Wow.

01:00:27.000 Turns out, I think, well, I don't know.

01:00:29.000 I still don't believe it, so interested to find out more.

01:00:32.000 We now go to our on-the-ground correspondent, Thomas Finnegan.

01:00:35.000 Hey! 0.99

01:00:45.000 Hi Stephen.

01:00:46.000 Hey, Thomas.

01:00:47.000 Hi. 0.61

01:00:48.000 You may have seen in recent news regarding anal breathing. 0.92

01:00:51.000 Yes, what is it? 0.96

01:00:52.000 Anal breathing. 0.73

01:00:53.000 Reptiles and amphibians, they have the ability to breathe underwater through their cloaca, which acts both as their anus and their...

01:01:02.000 They're buh buh buh buh. They're in their pussy. Scientists have done experiments with mammals by putting them under 1.00

01:01:09.000 water and oxygenating them through the anus with a 61% increase survival rate.

01:01:15.000 That just sounds like drowning. That's just 61% longer of drowning. What are you doing right now?

01:01:20.000 Allow me to demonstrate. I'm, uh, no. Is this... Finnegan!

01:01:26.000 Thomas, you cannot breathe through your ass, Finnegan. 1.00

01:01:30.000 We should let him try. Finnegan, can he hear me? Does he have a mic? 1.00

01:01:34.000 yeah Uh, he can't hear you.

01:01:38.000 Well, valiant effort.

01:01:40.000 Well, he'll bounce back.

01:01:50.000 He always does.

01:01:50.000 Yeah.

01:01:51.000 He just, the butt needs to be higher out of the water.

01:01:53.000 I think so.

01:01:53.000 Yeah.

01:01:54.000 Just not arced correctly. 1.00

01:01:56.000 Somebody needs to give him ass to ass. 1.00

01:01:58.000 Yeah. 0.99

01:02:00.000 I mean, It's science.

01:02:02.000 I mean, what, is that not how you save someone?

01:02:04.000 I think that's how you save someone.

01:02:05.000 Yeah, he was not part of the 61%.

01:02:07.000 That's almost like when you use one of those toilet seats, it has like the soft cover.

01:02:10.000 That's what it feels like.

01:02:11.000 So when you see a beautiful girl choking in a restaurant, you're like, I'll save her. 1.00

01:02:14.000 I mean, he was kind of waterboarding himself with his ass. 1.00

01:02:18.000 Yeah, it's true. 0.99

01:02:19.000 It was ri- well he was ri- water. He was more water hoarding.

01:02:22.000 Hey, by the way, Dave's gonna be in Columbus, Ohio July 15th and 16th, uh, at-

01:02:32.000 And I'm gonna be in, is it Spokane Comedy Club?

01:02:35.000 Yeah, Spokane.

01:02:37.000 We added a show on Thursday.

01:02:39.000 I think it should be Spokane.

01:02:43.000 But it's Spokane.

01:02:44.000 But Spokane sounds way cooler.

01:02:46.000 Yeah, uh, what are we gonna, what are we playing?

01:02:47.000 Oh, oh, oh, okay, there's no way we can play this on, because I know what we're doing today.

01:02:51.000 So, uh, YouTube Rumble, thank you very much, but YouTube, we're about to go play Hipster Hobo for Mug Club only.

01:02:56.000 And you guys, look, share this show if you're watching here on YouTube right now.

01:03:00.000 I know I was a little, little, little pissed off today, but hopefully we still made it work for you.

01:03:05.000 Sometimes I really need to get, I need to make sure that every day I come in I'm, you know, even-tempered.

01:03:10.000 Yeah.

01:03:12.000 Angry.

01:03:14.000 I prefer you. 0.96

01:03:15.000 Ladies, call me Ed Norton because I will be your mediocre Hulk. 1.00
