00:00:30.000 He's done it again.

00:00:38.560 My friend, Steven Crowder, oh, he's been a very naughty boy.

00:00:43.700 He's in trouble now and not just a little trouble,

00:00:47.220 not just like YouTube going to censor a couple things he says.

00:00:50.960 He's in like permanently get banned from YouTube and lose his entire career and platform and voice

00:00:58.420 kind of potential trouble.

00:01:01.100 And I hate to say it, it's actually sort of our fault here at The Daily Wire.

00:01:07.540 Steven, thank you for coming on.

00:01:09.400 Thank you for putting me in a fight for my life.

00:01:12.900 I appreciate it.

00:01:14.460 So this, just to give a little context here, The Daily Wire, we have prided ourselves on making a business

00:01:20.780 mostly out of silly clickbait headlines and, you know, just like 10 ways that we destroy the libs and stuff like that.

00:01:27.940 But recently we have, because the site has been very successful and we're very grateful to all of the members,

00:01:34.220 we have invested in actual investigative journalism, which the right rarely does.

00:01:38.080 We usually use the investigative journalism from The New York Times or The Washington Post.

00:01:41.980 And then we try to take out all the bias and take out all the craziness.

00:01:45.400 But we actually broke a story ourselves, which is that in Loudoun County,

00:01:48.860 a girl was raped allegedly in a bathroom by a guy who sometimes wears a skirt.

00:01:56.100 And the story here is obviously that these transgender bathroom policies are probably not the best idea.

00:02:01.680 And further, the story is that the school covered it up and they denied it.

00:02:05.980 But now even The Washington Post has to acknowledge it.

00:02:08.440 You talked about this news story that actually happened in reality.

00:02:14.740 Yeah.

00:02:15.160 And now you don't get to be on YouTube because of it.

00:02:17.920 Pretty much, yeah.

00:02:18.780 And by the way, I really do appreciate the work that you guys did.

00:02:21.360 I did reach out to your senior, I guess, editors there.

00:02:23.840 And I said, look, I need to have some kind of confirmation.

00:02:26.620 I know you can't reveal all of this publicly because they are minors.

00:02:29.900 But that the rape kit was conducted and that the police confirmed it.

00:02:33.960 And so what I saw certainly seemed as though you guys had done your due diligence.

00:02:37.260 So I don't know when you say allegedly when there's a rape kit.

00:02:39.740 We did a full hour, just to be clear, for people who are wondering.

00:02:42.220 We have a heart strike on the channel right now.

00:02:43.760 So we cannot stream to YouTube.

00:02:45.440 For people who are wondering where we are, of course, Mug Club.

00:02:48.500 We have merch at Fight Like Hell, CrowderShop.com.

00:02:52.220 We're at Rumble, Apple, Spotify.

00:02:54.280 We'll be back in a week.

00:02:55.780 But what happened is we did an hour show on the Loudoun County story.

00:02:58.560 Because it does get a little complicated when you understand the timeline and you're going,

00:03:01.860 wait a second, there were two rapes?

00:03:03.600 Yes, there were.

00:03:04.340 Wait a second, the father was in trouble for complaining about the rape?

00:03:08.420 Yes, he was.

00:03:09.340 So we thought this was really a pivotal story.

00:03:12.020 And sometimes people say, hey, don't get bothered with the culture wars.

00:03:15.000 This is actually the most important subject of our time.

00:03:17.600 And this kind of encapsulates it.

00:03:19.740 And I'll explain why.

00:03:21.000 We did that for about the hour show.

00:03:23.140 Most of it was devoted to Loudoun County.

00:03:24.420 That was on, when was that?

00:03:26.620 Was that Thursday?

00:03:28.020 Was that Tuesday, Wednesday?

00:03:30.220 Yeah, this was just a couple of days ago.

00:03:32.460 This was Tuesday.

00:03:33.400 Sorry.

00:03:33.720 Yes.

00:03:33.980 Okay.

00:03:34.300 So the strike came from, I believe, a show last Thursday.

00:03:36.780 But it came immediately after the Loudoun County show, which was poised to hit a million

00:03:40.920 viewers within the day for the whole show.

00:03:43.600 And what they struck us for was a story we covered last week where there were transgender

00:03:50.820 individuals have been declaring in record numbers that they are females going into female

00:03:55.480 prisons.

00:03:55.960 And now in California, they have pregnancy protocols and a woman got impregnated in a

00:04:01.760 California prison.

00:04:03.140 And so the joke was on YouTube where we said, so on transgender inmates, female brave and beautiful

00:04:08.880 inmates, a woman got pregnant, immaculate conception.

00:04:13.680 And we did a sketch where the angel came to Mary and said, be not afraid for she'll be assigned

00:04:18.740 on to you.

00:04:19.140 She said, a virgin birth.

00:04:20.040 And he said, it was actually Alex Jones who was the angel.

00:04:23.140 He said, no, you'll be sexually assaulted by your transgender cellmate repeatedly.

00:04:27.560 That was the joke.

00:04:28.820 Now there's a carve out on YouTube for comedy, to be clear.

00:04:32.840 People need to understand this.

00:04:33.960 The joke was we never insinuated that they were anything other than a beautiful and brave

00:04:37.860 female, which is of course absurd.

00:04:39.760 Um, the language that came from the lawyer though, it was immediately after the Loudon

00:04:43.960 story, but they said, we're going to hit you retroactively for this.

00:04:47.860 The language said you are not allowed to express, you know, violence against individuals and

00:04:52.420 said, or indicate or indicate that transgender individuals may pose a rape threat to women.

00:05:00.620 That's game, set, match.

00:05:01.940 They're not, they're not capable of doing it.

00:05:04.020 It's not, they're physically incapable of ever.

00:05:06.140 When, when Husky Hank walks into the women's bathroom, he is not physically capable of

00:05:10.980 harming a woman.

00:05:11.540 According to YouTube.

00:05:12.860 He's not, you can't talk about specific instances.

00:05:14.840 And some people are saying, well, you should be able to speak about specific instances,

00:05:17.780 but you shouldn't be able to voice the broad concern.

00:05:20.360 I disagree.

00:05:21.200 Let me explain to you why there were over a hundred parents, as you guys reported in

00:05:24.720 Loudon County, right?

00:05:25.620 Who said, Oh, a rape.

00:05:27.260 Oh, a second rape.

00:05:28.680 We're concerned antenna up.

00:05:30.580 And they wanted to protest this policy saying, we believe that this poses a sexual assault

00:05:37.380 threat to our young daughters, right?

00:05:39.760 That's why the parents lined up.

00:05:41.140 You can say that in the town square.

00:05:43.060 You can say that in a municipal meeting.

00:05:45.280 If you say that on YouTube, if you say that on Facebook, you're banned, you're gone.

00:05:49.360 And here's the issue of speaking with Ben Shapiro about this.

00:05:52.460 You could say male, of course, males pose a threat to, uh, to, to, to female, uh, inmates

00:05:58.620 or classmates, insert whatever here.

00:06:00.760 The problem is the language game where now it's, you can't even say biological male is

00:06:05.200 hate speech.

00:06:05.780 All right, I'll use your term transgender.

00:06:07.520 You can't say that they could pose a threat to women because they're women.

00:06:10.580 Well, what do you do?

00:06:11.540 This literally makes it so nobody can oppose any policies.

00:06:14.800 And here's the thing.

00:06:15.800 We're doing some research now.

00:06:16.780 It is terrifying the amount of small channels that have covered your story or that have

00:06:22.020 covered similar stories who are gone.

00:06:24.280 I'm fortunate.

00:06:25.100 I'm blessed.

00:06:25.660 People have supported us with Mug Club.

00:06:26.960 You have Daily Wire, but what about the people who never get a chance to grow?

00:06:31.900 That's the issue.

00:06:32.720 And this is their new policy from, by the way, the one solace I find is very, very expensive

00:06:37.060 legal counsel who had to watch that entire episode and watch the sketch and do a writeup.

00:06:42.220 So at least, at least I have that.

00:06:44.460 That is a silver lining in a storm cloud.

00:06:46.780 This, to me, seems like an acceleration of something that happened to me.

00:06:50.380 It was either a week or two ago.

00:06:52.480 I played a clip from the CDC director, Rochelle Walensky.

00:06:56.260 And the CDC director in this clip says that the coronavirus can be spread by people who

00:07:03.280 have the vaccine, which is something that we all know.

00:07:05.560 That's obviously true.

00:07:06.160 That's the argument for why the vaccinated people should wear the masks, is that they

00:07:09.400 can still transmit the virus.

00:07:12.060 I just quoted her.

00:07:14.160 I just, I had the scientific authority, one of the top three in the world, according to

00:07:20.920 the liberal establishment.

00:07:21.880 I just use her words.

00:07:23.280 I was told that this was a violation of the YouTube policy because YouTube says you are

00:07:29.120 not allowed to say that the vaccine does not prevent transmission of the virus, even

00:07:32.960 if you're the director of the CDC.

00:07:34.700 So that, obviously, outrageous.

00:07:37.020 This, an even greater acceleration of that, you are reporting on a very important news story

00:07:42.660 that the left was suppressing, that the school was suppressing, that threatens young women

00:07:48.760 and girls.

00:07:50.180 And because of that, you could, yes, hopefully you'll be back next week, but you could permanently

00:07:55.420 lose your child.

00:07:56.980 We absolutely could.

00:07:58.140 And here's the thing.

00:07:58.920 I want to be clear.

00:07:59.740 They didn't say it's the Loudoun County story.

00:08:01.820 They picked something that was a comedy sketch that was milder from the previous week.

00:08:06.120 It happened immediately after the show.

00:08:08.540 I mean, YouTube has been gunning for us for years because, you know, okay, we are the most

00:08:12.860 watched conservative show on YouTube.

00:08:14.580 We're the most, look, we're the most watched conservative show in the demo of all time.

00:08:19.640 It's not even close.

00:08:20.500 The next closest second is Tucker Carlson.

00:08:22.520 We do three times as much.

00:08:23.440 I don't talk about these.

00:08:24.200 The reason I talk about this right now is because this is an attack on people who watch the

00:08:27.940 show.

00:08:28.360 This is an attack from YouTube saying, no, no, no, no, no.

00:08:30.860 We're going to auto play Seth Meyers.

00:08:32.340 No, no, no, no.

00:08:32.800 This guy can't be Colbert.

00:08:34.180 No, no, no, no.

00:08:34.700 This is hate speech.

00:08:35.700 They really don't want what we do to get out there.

00:08:38.920 And the issue here is they have framed in language so much that it doesn't allow one

00:08:44.320 side to speak.

00:08:45.260 A genuine thought exercise for people out there.

00:08:47.700 Let's say you're a parent.

00:08:49.140 Okay.

00:08:49.300 You are a parent and you want to express concern over a new transgender bathroom policy because

00:08:54.460 two people were raped in Loudoun County.

00:08:56.620 How do you express your concern over that policy online?

00:09:01.180 With the rules they just set out, you cannot imply there is a rape threat.

00:09:04.960 You can't do it.

00:09:06.420 And so when people say, oh, it's a culture war thing, way more important than taxes.

00:09:09.760 Yes.

00:09:10.100 So it's obviously this is the fight.

00:09:12.700 I mean, if you're not going to fight this fight, then who cares?

00:09:16.000 Who cares if you're going to like slightly reform the administrative state?

00:09:18.360 It's not going to do anything.

00:09:19.800 But, but it's, it's not even as though we're just talking about online, you know?

00:09:25.220 Well, look, look, you can't voice your opinion on this public matter online, but you can do

00:09:30.000 it offline.

00:09:30.540 So what?

00:09:30.880 I'm going to go get a bell and start swinging it in the village square.

00:09:33.700 No, the, the public square in our society today is online.

00:09:37.540 And specifically it's on Google and YouTube, which is owned by Google and it's on Facebook

00:09:42.420 and to a lesser degree, it's on Twitter and that's it.

00:09:44.900 And these oligarchs control.

00:09:46.440 I love that slight to Twitter.

00:09:48.220 It's true.

00:09:49.120 I love that slight to Twitter.

00:09:50.340 Jack Dorsey is always, he's always like, Hey guys, what are you doing?

00:09:53.300 Do you want to go get some, uh, some, uh, shrimp fajitas?

00:09:56.600 And they're like, Jack, come on, go, go back to, go back to Castaway.

00:10:01.080 It's not even close.

00:10:02.040 If people look at the stock, it's not even close.

00:10:03.900 It's not, it's not.

00:10:04.740 And so if you, if you control speech in self-government, in a Republic, you control the whole thing.

00:10:11.940 So right now, what are we supposed to do?

00:10:13.700 I mean, I, I, I'm furious.

00:10:15.340 I can, I can yell about this until I am blue in the face, but we, we need to make these content

00:10:20.120 decisions and we have a little more breadth here because our platforms are bigger.

00:10:23.660 As you say, the smaller channels that are, they're just being snuffed out in the crib.

00:10:28.080 So what are we supposed to do?

00:10:29.500 If, if YouTube comes out and says, you're not allowed to say X, Y, and Z, do you, do

00:10:37.080 you try to twist your language?

00:10:38.960 Do you go along?

00:10:39.660 Do you take a brave, courageous stand and then get your channel shut down?

00:10:42.600 What are we supposed to do?

00:10:43.920 I won't do it.

00:10:44.680 And I'll tell you why I won't do it.

00:10:45.700 I've never implied that all transgenders are rapists.

00:10:47.820 I've never implied that all transgenders are a rape threat because I don't believe it.

00:10:50.620 I've never implied it.

00:10:51.480 I wouldn't say it.

00:10:52.300 I've had transgender individuals on my show.

00:10:53.960 A lot of times people are confused by how loving and kind I am to them and gracious as a host.

00:10:58.460 And they go, oh, so you must not believe what you talk about with transgenders.

00:11:00.920 No, I absolutely do.

00:11:02.220 I also love you as a person, as we're supposed to show love through Christ.

00:11:05.680 That's what we're supposed to reflect.

00:11:07.160 But absolutely, biology is a real thing.

00:11:10.040 And I won't go along with this language.

00:11:11.440 We will fight it legally.

00:11:12.580 We are continuing to stream on, I was about to say YouTube, on Rumble and on Mug Club,

00:11:18.260 where we have people who support us.

00:11:19.440 You know, a lot of the times people say, go and create your own platform.

00:11:21.840 Well, it's not possible when they lock you out.

00:11:24.180 Here's an experiment I want everyone to do, okay?

00:11:26.920 Search for anything specific right now on YouTube.

00:11:30.740 It used to be, the reason for the protection, let's say for YouTube, it was a search engine,

00:11:34.720 right?

00:11:34.960 You search for something, you found it.

00:11:36.520 This is true.

00:11:37.180 This is a true story.

00:11:38.280 I have this like townhome that we're using for employees who come in and Airbnb.

00:11:43.200 And I'm a coffee snob.

00:11:45.300 So I was like, wait, the person can't use this whole pour over.

00:11:47.340 Well, I'm not going to get a Keurig because I don't want to be one of those guys.

00:11:50.440 My mom gave me a Nespresso machine.

00:11:52.660 You're Italian, you know.

00:11:53.500 So she gave me a Nespresso machine.

00:11:55.340 I love Nespresso.

00:11:56.860 Okay.

00:11:57.260 Well, I hate it.

00:11:58.000 But you're, so you're like Olive Garden Italian, I guess.

00:12:01.020 You should have a machine with dials and copper like Willy Wonka.

00:12:04.540 But if you're doing Nespresso, all right, it's a never ending bread bowl.

00:12:06.860 Those endless breadsticks are delicious.

00:12:07.640 I won't.

00:12:08.260 Anyway.

00:12:08.380 That was Jesus's last miracle at the last supper was the never ending salad bowl.

00:12:13.520 So it's just never ends.

00:12:15.540 He's like, I'm Jesus.

00:12:16.300 What do you think?

00:12:17.140 So anyway, she gives me this Nespresso machine.

00:12:19.500 I'm like, okay, how do I use this?

00:12:20.820 I go and search on YouTube Nespresso Pixie machine.

00:12:24.340 And I knew there was a danger because I was putting Pixie in the name, right?

00:12:26.700 But I searched Nespresso Pixie machine and two results come up and then a bunch of results

00:12:33.020 of late night comedy, political stuff, other coffee, but nothing to do with Nespresso.

00:12:38.560 Today on YouTube, it cannot be used as a search engine.

00:12:43.180 It's not possible.

00:12:45.200 It is entirely now a curation and they will hide behind the algorithms, but their algorithms

00:12:50.700 are determined by policies that say you can never even indicate that transgenders may pose

00:12:55.960 a rape threat to women.

00:12:57.980 So I'm talking about coffee.

00:12:59.480 It doesn't matter.

00:13:00.580 But what if someone types in Loudoun County rape, they might get two results of the truth.

00:13:06.240 So when people say, go and build your own YouTube, go and build your own Twitter or Facebook,

00:13:10.060 it's not possible because these entities are one and the same with government right now.

00:13:15.100 They're more powerful than the Roman empire.

00:13:16.840 And so we have to do what you do.

00:13:18.160 And we do, you have daily wire and you're also on YouTube because

00:13:20.660 you want to reach people.

00:13:21.580 And we have mug club and listen, we will fight like hell on this.

00:13:25.140 We always will.

00:13:25.920 We'll fight it legally.

00:13:26.660 We will fight it in the public square and people who think that they aren't coming for

00:13:30.340 you.

00:13:30.520 Look, this is you, anyone who is watching right now.

00:13:35.580 If you think that you have the right to say, I'm concerned for my daughter going into a changing

00:13:41.860 room with a biological male, which by the way, you're also not allowed to say now they're

00:13:45.340 considering that hate speech.

00:13:46.500 They want a new term instead of biological male.

00:13:48.040 If you are at home and you're saying, I want to voice my concern, YouTube, Facebook, Twitter

00:13:53.100 is saying, you won't be able to, period.

00:13:56.500 That's terrifying.

00:13:57.760 What I don't understand here is how they can say with a straight face that transgender individuals

00:14:04.500 or biological men, as opposed to what, psychological men or spiritual men, or I don't know, whatever

00:14:09.040 jargon they want to use, how they can say that they don't pose any threat to women when

00:14:15.160 they're in places where women are changing or, you know, otherwise sort of vulnerable.

00:14:19.400 They don't pose any threat.

00:14:20.840 Zero.

00:14:21.340 You're telling me, you're telling me Google that whether it's a man or you want to call

00:14:26.660 him not a man or you want to call him whatever jargon you have, it's impossible for him to

00:14:31.980 pose any kind of, what are you talking, I mean, that's just so indefensible.

00:14:35.280 So how do they, how do they get away with it?

00:14:37.740 Well, your first mistake, your premise is flawed.

00:14:40.160 You said, how do they say it with a straight face?

00:14:41.460 They say it with an angry lesbian face.

00:14:43.200 Let's be honest.

00:14:43.800 Those are the people who are saying this in Silicon Valley and angry gay faces.

00:14:47.720 Vastly overrepresented here where, look, they're going to have a transgender walkout at Netflix

00:14:51.940 on October 20th, if we're talking about the demographics of the population, right?

00:14:57.660 Because now they want, if black people make up 12% of the American population, they should

00:15:01.620 make up at least 12% of the Oscars.

00:15:03.080 They make up exponentially more compared to the population in Silicon Valley.

00:15:08.320 They're going to walk out on Netflix.

00:15:10.420 First off, Eddie Murphy is going to be circling that walkout in a limo.

00:15:14.640 I mean, that is just absolutely a perfect scenario for him.

00:15:17.440 Probably Hugh Grant, a little bit going back to the nineties here, but yeah, I don't, they

00:15:21.300 don't say it with a straight face.

00:15:22.580 They're not trying to actually avoid people's feelings being hurt.

00:15:26.280 There is absolutely a deliberate attempt to control language.

00:15:31.020 And too many conservatives have conceded ground and say, oh, it's about the deficit.

00:15:35.040 Listen, all of those things matter.

00:15:36.820 But if the idea of man and woman, I believe it says, I believe that's described in the Bible

00:15:43.640 somewhere near the back, man and woman.

00:15:46.340 If that ceases to be, I am not an alarmist.

00:15:49.760 People know I've always been sort of what they say, a happy warrior, silver lining.

00:15:53.200 If we cease to have man and woman, there will be no country left.

00:15:57.520 There is no more Western civilization.

00:15:59.700 And look, absolutely there should be no hate speech.

00:16:02.580 And I don't want to use the term hate speech.

00:16:04.160 Absolutely.

00:16:04.700 You shouldn't walk up to a transgender individual and chastise them or treat them any more poorly

00:16:09.660 than you would anybody else.

00:16:10.880 You should love them.

00:16:11.460 You should treat them with respect.

00:16:12.540 I believe that a lot of these people, especially when you look at a 42% attempted suicide rate and

00:16:17.120 the post-operative status, is not any better.

00:16:19.960 We just talked about the Ministry of Justice in the UK.

00:16:24.000 59% of male to female transgender inmates have committed sexual assault.

00:16:30.360 59% only males there.

00:16:32.600 It's 16%.

00:16:33.660 Biological females.

00:16:34.980 It's 3%.

00:16:35.860 So the numbers are off the charts.

00:16:37.420 If you look at this, I do think that there's a group of people in need of love and help.

00:16:41.920 But how do you love and help someone if there's a 60% sexual assault rate, Ministry of Justice

00:16:46.260 UK, we have our references available on the website, in prison.

00:16:49.820 How do you help them if you don't say, look, look, there's something here that maybe isn't

00:16:55.140 working.

00:16:55.520 We need to correct.

00:16:57.360 You can't do it.

00:16:58.220 Well, just, you know, we talk about these sort of statistics and a lot of these I actually

00:17:02.340 hadn't heard before.

00:17:03.260 So it's, you know, this is Ministry of Justice in the UK.

00:17:06.660 It's a specific prison study and it shocked me.

00:17:09.960 Yes, no, and so that's all very important.

00:17:13.180 There's also this ontological issue, which is men are not women.

00:17:18.180 Men who think that they're women are delusional and they should be corrected and they should,

00:17:22.260 it's not compassionate to allow them to live in lies and it's not compassionate to force

00:17:28.300 society to indulge those kinds of delusions.

00:17:30.800 And this is common sense and everyone agreed with it until about five minutes ago.

00:17:34.560 And you're not allowed to say that anymore.

00:17:36.460 And, and YouTube is enforcing it to varying degrees on different people.

00:17:40.220 And right now you're in the hot seat.

00:17:41.440 So then the question to me is, let's say that they just, they just finally had enough

00:17:47.420 of you, Mr. Crowder, and you've pissed them off one too many times.

00:17:52.040 What, what happens is, is that the end of Louder with Crowder?

00:17:57.060 Or is, I mean, is there, does it mean you're not going to have a show anymore?

00:17:59.940 Does it mean you're not, what, what is it?

00:18:01.380 What does it look like if they actually?

00:18:02.900 We're still, no, we're still streaming to give you an idea.

00:18:06.340 We were streaming.

00:18:06.960 And of course there are larger numbers on YouTube where there used to be way larger numbers

00:18:10.340 because people would find us through the algorithms.

00:18:12.180 That's not possible.

00:18:13.140 But yesterday we were streaming the show off of YouTube and we still had over 60, 64,000

00:18:17.960 live viewers at any given second, which, you know, turns to a rolling average, which will,

00:18:21.760 which will be in the high six figures or in the million range without YouTube.

00:18:25.980 So no, although it's really important to me to reach the unreached, you know, our average

00:18:30.640 viewer is a 28 year old male or woman, and that doesn't happen.

00:18:34.140 YouTube right now is saying over a million, over a million, 20 something year olds are tuning

00:18:39.380 in every show for over 40 minutes.

00:18:43.240 Whoa.

00:18:43.800 We've never had that.

00:18:45.020 It's okay when they're off on Fox news and they're selling a gold and, and, and Tom Selleck's

00:18:49.580 telling you, this isn't my first rodeo to try and steal your home, right?

00:18:52.560 They're okay with that.

00:18:53.520 They're not okay with these messages getting out right now.

00:18:56.200 People like you, people like Ben, people like myself reaching a new audience.

00:18:59.940 And by the way, doing it in a way that is not only accurate, but fun.

00:19:03.460 Look, this is a comedy show.

00:19:04.820 I'm a comedian.

00:19:05.640 I'm probably going to start touring again with Dave Landau once I'm no longer exhausted with

00:19:09.060 lawsuits, but, um, we are so meticulous because we know we're in the hot seat with

00:19:14.160 references and sourcing.

00:19:15.120 I don't know that there's any other program out there who provides every single reference

00:19:19.840 from on air in a, in a very, uh, uh, formatted way on a website so that everyone can peruse

00:19:26.800 them.

00:19:26.980 And 90% of them are completely neutral sources like PubMed, or they're coming from polls like

00:19:31.860 Zogby.

00:19:32.440 And if we use a bias source, we use a liberal source.

00:19:34.880 We make it all publicly available.

00:19:36.440 As a matter of fact, we've seen a huge website increase just from people going and clicking

00:19:41.100 through the references, which is what I want them to do.

00:19:45.120 I want people to read more.

00:19:47.540 I want our show to be an hour and I want them to spend two, three, four hours researching

00:19:52.200 for themselves.

00:19:53.200 Meanwhile, shows that lie show Jimmy Kimmel.

00:19:56.540 Did you see that?

00:19:57.140 Jimmy Kimmel unironically used media matters and slate as a source.

00:20:02.920 And there's no problem with it.

00:20:04.620 And he wasn't making a joke.

00:20:06.000 I mean, I, you know, come on, that's that do I, I don't need to specify.

00:20:09.320 It's been a long time.

00:20:10.640 Yes.

00:20:11.180 Redundant, not make me Jimmy Kimmel, not making a joke redundant.

00:20:14.200 It's like a jumbo shrimp, but he didn't make a joke.

00:20:16.900 He was making a point from media matters.

00:20:19.340 Look, people out there, this is a bit, if you watch Michael Knowles, you watch Ben Shapiro,

00:20:22.860 you watch, they are coming for you, even if your children are being raped.

00:20:28.640 And I don't mean me too, someone, or even Chris Cuomo grabbing someone's ass in front

00:20:34.400 of her husband, which by the way, I don't know why that husband didn't beat the tar out

00:20:37.860 of Chris Cuomo.

00:20:38.380 I am talking about forcible rape verified by a kit and then done again.

00:20:45.040 And if you are a parent, you are the one who will be vilified for expressing concern.

00:20:50.360 Look behind you, people.

00:20:52.480 That's the Orwellian line.

00:20:54.580 And I mean it.

00:20:55.660 It's like that, that meme from the Trump 2020 campaign is the best meme of the whole campaign

00:20:59.760 where it's this, that picture of Trump.

00:21:01.440 And he says, they're not coming for me.

00:21:03.520 They're coming for you.

00:21:04.440 And I just happen to be in the way.

00:21:06.280 And that's what's happening.

00:21:07.120 And it's not just for the smaller creators on YouTube.

00:21:09.120 It's for any parent who wants to speak out against these preposterous policies.

00:21:13.920 It's for any ordinary American who doesn't like the way the ruling class is governing.

00:21:18.740 And it's to this point you made, Stephen, it's about the discovery.

00:21:22.580 I agree.

00:21:23.860 If YouTube brings the hammer down, you'll be fine.

00:21:26.680 And you're going to keep 100% of your audience.

00:21:29.580 And you might even grow the audience a little bit because it would be a news story.

00:21:32.100 But you are not going to have access to the growth of the audience that everyone else

00:21:37.120 is going to have access to with new people discovering this stuff.

00:21:39.840 It will be siloed.

00:21:41.040 It will be ghettoized.

00:21:42.260 It will be ostracized from society, which is, I think, the long game here for the left,

00:21:47.520 which is why I'm glad you're making a little bit of a ruckus on this.

00:21:50.600 One more thing.

00:21:52.000 It's mental warfare, Michael.

00:21:53.500 It's mental warfare.

00:21:54.380 You know, it's the Nazis saying, and I'm not saying that YouTube are Nazis,

00:21:56.880 when the Nazis would say, all is lost.

00:21:58.980 We have taken your bases, right?

00:22:00.700 They would go out and pump it through all of these small channels out there,

00:22:03.760 all of these smaller creators who are influenced.

00:22:05.900 Look, there's a term in comedy, like, oh, that guy's a Dave Attell baby.

00:22:09.380 That guy's a Mitch Hedberg baby, meaning a comedian who came up in that generation,

00:22:12.300 was influenced.

00:22:13.280 There's a Ben Shapiro baby.

00:22:14.360 There's a Michael Knowles baby.

00:22:15.400 There's certainly a Crowder baby because I've been here since 2009 when there were no conservatives.

00:22:19.680 They're coming up.

00:22:20.960 And if the leaders get taken, if the leaders get picked off or just influences,

00:22:25.260 I don't consider myself a leader, that demoralizes them.

00:22:28.520 What chance does the kid with 10,000 subscribers have?

00:22:31.440 That is what they are doing right now.

00:22:33.380 They're trying to pick off the generals.

00:22:35.200 And they're coming not just for content creators.

00:22:38.080 They're coming for parents.

00:22:39.080 They are coming for daughters.

00:22:40.340 Listen, if you're a woman in 2021,

00:22:43.580 you're going to have to shut up and take it on the chin.

00:22:46.880 That's what they're saying.

00:22:48.480 Right, right.

00:22:49.480 It's blunt, and it's offensive, and it's outrageous, and it's obviously true.

00:22:54.040 Steven, we've got to leave it there.

00:22:55.840 Keep me posted.

00:22:56.720 We're going to stop doing journalism now at The Daily Wire so we don't keep getting you in trouble.

00:23:00.360 We're going to stop reporting on any actual facts and relevant news stories, at least for a while.

00:23:07.460 We have to at least stop it for a week so they don't ax you completely.

00:23:10.960 But everyone, if you have not done it already, this should be the wake-up call.

00:23:14.480 Go do it.

00:23:15.260 Head on over to Mug Club.

00:23:16.480 Go head on over to any channel, any alternative channel that is going to allow you to continue to see Mr. Crowder's content

00:23:23.980 because we can't rely on the big entities here.

00:23:28.460 They are turning their attention on the voices that they think are the most dangerous to the liberal narrative.

00:23:33.680 And at the moment, that happens to be Mr. Steven Crowder.

00:23:36.560 Thank you, sir.

00:23:37.260 See you next time.

00:23:38.660 Thank you.

00:23:39.260 Someone has my eye shadow?

00:23:40.180 Have a great day.

00:23:40.440 Have a great day.

00:23:41.060 Bye-bye.

00:23:42.360 Bye-bye.

00:23:47.980 Bye-bye.

00:23:48.180 Bye-bye.

00:23:48.480 Bye-bye.

00:23:48.600 Bye-bye.

00:23:49.320 Bye-bye.

00:23:56.960 Bye-bye.

00:24:07.400 Bye-bye.
