	you You found yourself at the junction where worlds meet Politics.
	Civility?
	How about honesty in this country, folks?
	Entertainment.
	I don't like entertainment!
	And a whole bunch of other stuff.
	It's about having a healthy body image.
	If you have a very unhealthy body, you should have a horrible body image.
	It's not a big home improvement market in Detroit.
	We are definitely going to get letters.
	You're listening to Talk Radio's Strangest Animal.
	You're a strange animal.
	That's what I know.
	You're getting louder with Crowder.
	But you're a strange animal.
	I get to follow.
	Oh, I'm in the speedy to see.
	Oh, you know that sound?
	That is the sound right now.
	Of the weekend, I am your host, Stephen Crowder.
	You can, of course, follow everything I do at lighterwithcrowder.com.
	Producing with me in studio video livestream, as always, is Jared, who is not gay.
	You can follow him on Twitter at NotGayJarred.
	I've fulfilled my legal obligations.
	Draw your own conclusions.
	We good?
	We're good.
	We're good.
	We are good.
	the band.
	We're good.
	We're good.
	Big week.
	Big week this week.
	A lot of crazy stuff going on.
	And we'll get to all of that.
	So we do have, of course, best-selling author Brad Thor will be on, our good friend Gerald Morgan, who teaches on Islam, and you can guess why we'll have him this week.
	On theology, on philosophy.
	He's also a rocket scientist neurosurgeon.
	The guy's relatively accomplished.
	Well, he's really, I mean, he's really good on Islam stuff especially.
	He follows, you know, all the charities that go on and kind of just the good things going on in the community, which is...
	On Islam?
	On Islam.
	It's a great thing to keep up with, so...
	It doesn't take a lot of spare time.
	No.
	If you really want to stay up to date on Islamic charities...
	It's a gift that keeps all good.
	You just did it.
	You just did it.
	There's none.
	Islamic charities for anyone who's not Muslim, it doesn't exist.
	There's no, like, Islamic children's fund.
	It's not Christian children's fund anymore.
	I see that Santa Claus guy with a beard.
	It's something else.
	Remember all those commercials?
	Yeah, with him walking down the sad street.
	Yeah, for just the price of a cup of coffee a day.
	Coffee's gone up, so the commercial's kind of...
	I feel like a bad person.
	When I watch it, I'm thinking I'm paying way too much for coffee.
	Yeah, exactly.
	That's the big takeaway.
	So we'll have Brett Doerr, we'll have Joe Morgan, we have Catherine, Sergeant Catherine coming on, because another story not a lot of people talked about got lost in the shuffle.
	The Marines are now requiring mandatory sensitivity training.
	Specifically gender sensitivity training.
	So we have a former sergeant from the military coming in, and she has some strong opinions on that.
	So this week we had Obama going to Cuba.
	That happened.
	It seems like years ago, because Brussels happened.
	Of course, our thoughts and prayers are out with everyone there.
	And then, of course, there's the debacle with Donald Trump and Ted Cruz's wife going on right now, this whole election thing.
	We'll get to that further on down the trail.
	I mean, there are no winners in this.
	No, it's just one long reality show.
	It just never ends.
	It is just absolutely...
	You just keep renewing the seasons.
	Yeah.
	And you're like, ah!
	I didn't know I had another one in it, but...
	And the general's just going to be a spinoff.
	Oh, gosh, I know.
	It's going to be the I am Kate to the Republican primary Kardashians.
	And at the end of it, you're just going to want to, I mean, cork your forks like in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels because you will be tempted to just jam them repeatedly into your eyes.
	So Obama-Cuba was a big trip.
	A lot of people maybe forgot about that.
	That happened earlier this week.
	Barack Obama, our president, visited Cuba.
	So everyone praised this as progress for relations, which have been, I guess, cold for a long time.
	Little known fact, a lot of people think I'm Canadian.
	I was born in Detroit but raised in Montreal, so I have both an American passport and a Canadian passport.
	Dual citizen.
	And I've been to Cuba.
	I've been to both Guantanamo Bay and I've been to Havana.
	Havana is not what they showed you in Miami Vice.
	It is a crap hole.
	It is a horrible place.
	Never has there been a place blessed with such incredible natural beauty makes so little of it as Cuba.
	That's what I can say about that.
	We went to Havana.
	We went down to, gosh, I don't remember the names of the beaches, but I got horribly sick.
	That's never something, you know, no one goes to Belgium.
	No one goes to France.
	No one goes to the United States, you know, and expects to get horribly sick.
	You go to Mexico, it's expected, right?
	You're going to try and avoid it, but it's just reality.
	It's going to happen at some point.
	You are going to have serious problems in one of your Orifis.
	Same thing with Cuba.
	They just hand you a bottle of Imodium when they stamp your passport going in.
	I thought that was unusual.
	The one hand is Imodium and the other is taking your wallet.
	So Obama went to Cuba.
	Now here's one thing.
	This is something we'll talk about today, an overarching theme, and we've talked about this on the website.
	The left loves to build up victims, right?
	They love to praise people and say, oh, don't you want to help these people?
	Look at these poor downtrodden people.
	And what they always do is ignore the real victims who simply aren't painted as victims because they're successful.
	So we've talked about this.
	We've had my mother on the show.
	My mom is a legal immigrant.
	She came to the United States.
	She didn't speak a word of English when she met my dad.
	She learned it.
	She works here.
	She pays taxes.
	You will not find somebody who is a stronger advocate for strict immigration laws and enforcing the ones we have.
	She can't stand.
	She can't stand when people can't speak English.
	You know, I learn it, and I come here, I learn English, it's not my language.
	I talk it, people, they come, they speak.
	Hey, do you speak Spanish?
	No, I don't speak Spanish!
	I learn English, why can't you?
	And she gets so mad.
	That's pretty typical of immigrants, legal immigrants.
	So, in trying to pander and create a new victim class with illegal immigrants, you know, they get mad about Trump pointing it out and the wall, or Ted Cruz.
	Both of them have been talking about illegal immigration, by the way, not just Donald Trump.
	But I support both people whenever they talk about it, provided they, you know, present feasible solutions.
	In trying to build up the class of illegal immigrants...
	They throw legal immigrants under the bus.
	Well, we feel bad.
	These people just want to come here for a better life.
	And then we're told that we're racist because we're saying, no, no, no, no, no.
	Come through legally as someone like my mother did.
	Well, why is the Mexican, who has a geographical advantage, somehow granted more leeway or supposed to be given more slack...
	Over someone like my mom or someone like many parents out here.
	You can tweet me at S. Crowder if you come from a family of immigrants who came here legally.
	One is deemed a victim solely because they suck at being successful.
	That's why.
	If they run a business, if they come here, they become legal.
	Well, they're not a victim anymore.
	Now you just take their stuff, right?
	Because they're not the people.
	We've talked about that.
	Same thing with Cuba.
	Oh, Barack Obama wants to go.
	These government, you know, this country, they've been, there's an embargo.
	They need us.
	Look, we can't be the bad guy.
	And so he wants to go in and talk with Castro.
	And he poses in front of a poster of Che Guevara.
	Victims.
	Castros.
	Victims.
	The government of Cuba.
	The United States, we've been really mean to them.
	Well, what they don't show you are the people in the gulags who've spoken out against communist government who are having pokers jammed into guests.
	What they don't show are the people whose parents were actually jailed or had their instruments taken away because Che Guevara decided that rock music was no longer allowable under a government.
	By the way, Che Guevara, we talk about this, a lot of people wear this stupid little t-shirt, you know, Che Guevara, him, you know, who's about 120 pounds soaking wet in his stupid fringy pubic hair beard that a man should be ashamed of.
	Listen...
	I'm not a guy who grows...
	I swear, I don't grow a full beard.
	I don't go a full Duck Dynasty.
	I recognize my limitations.
	Che Guevara.
	That should be the first sign of a guy who has poor judgment.
	He looked in, he saw the little Taco Bell dog chihuahua fringy pubic hair mustache and beard that makes his face look like your nether regions and said, yeah, this is a good decision.
	People who wear that shirt, the Che Guevara shirt, they don't understand that they might as well be wearing a shirt of Hitler.
	This is a guy who was a revolutionary, motorcycle diaries.
	No, you dummy.
	He was a communist executioner.
	This guy killed people.
	And not only because they were dissenters, and he stood before the UN and said, kill without trial?
	Of course, we'll continue to kill without trial.
	Leftists, of course, support this man.
	He was Castro's executioner.
	He hated black people.
	He said the Negroes were lazy.
	He wanted people to be pure-blood European Spanish.
	And he broke down the wall to his office just because he personally enjoyed watching the firing squad at work.
	Go to ladowithcrowder.com.
	Go Google this.
	Che Guevara was an ass, okay?
	There was nothing good about him.
	He was Hitler without the charm.
	By the way, he was found in, gosh, Bolivia?
	I'm pretty sure it's Bolivia.
	Didn't fire a bullet.
	Che Guevara never fought an armed populace for revolutionary.
	It's really easy to be a war revolutionary when you're just stealing people's stuff and walking in with a gun and shooting them.
	If I walk in right now and not gay Jared's producing and I blow them away, it doesn't make me a great gunfighter.
	It would also just be an average Tuesday.
	It would be an average Tuesday.
	Little known fact, Jared regenerates tissue very quickly.
	So, Barack Obama, taken, there's a picture taken of him in front of Che Guevara, standing there with his head held high.
	Now, I get it.
	There can be an accident, right?
	You could probably take a picture of any president at some point who's waving, and behind them, maybe there's someone in a Che Guevara t-shirt, or maybe if they're in a country, you know, where you find some communist symbolism.
	I get that.
	He was standing there in front of a mural.
	Posing.
	Sitting there.
	Knew the picture was taken.
	And not only is it Barack Obama, there's no one in his inner circle of friends saying, Ooh, gosh, you have a communist executioner behind you.
	Maybe you should...
	Let's take a few steps to the left.
	Get someone from the Sears catalog who shows you how to pose and just have him step you over.
	But these people believe in this.
	Barack Obama doesn't think Che Guevara is offensive because he's just like every douchebag you knew in college who smoked mead with his professors and talked about communism's beautiful in theory, man.
	So we're there with Che Guevara.
	Yeah, okay, we want to feel bad.
	Cuba deserves to do better.
	Absolutely.
	But you think you're going to do that by going in and watching a baseball game with a government who, by all evidence we have, still probably kills people for speaking out against them.
	At the very least, jails them and takes their family away.
	Let me give you a story from Cuba.
	This is a true story.
	I went down there with my mom.
	Shooting a commercial when I was a kid.
	It was like one of these things, end of year, and this production company had budget.
	So they said, ah, well, let's go to Cuba to shoot this.
	It was stupid.
	It was a McCain pizza commercial.
	Rising Crust Pizza.
	Could have been shot anywhere.
	Anyway, we go down there, and we are staying at a hotel.
	And my mom, God bless her, didn't realize what a communist government is really like.
	So she writes a tip.
	She's been writing a tip on the check at the hotel.
	Until someone told her, you realize they don't get those tips.
	I said, what?
	I said, they don't get those tips.
	They don't give them those tips.
	No one's allowed to get tips.
	So my mom goes, oh, oh, I'm so sorry.
	She goes, hey, if I put that there, do you get that?
	And the woman said, no.
	She said, oh, okay, can you scratch that here?
	I'll give you cash she's like no no no no no no no no no you would have thought that she was about to get shot Because she knew, and she told him, if anyone found out that she told him she doesn't get the tips, or that she's getting tips and cash, There's going to be some serious...
	This woman was terrified.
	Pleading with my mom, who was trying to give her a tip.
	This is a few years ago.
	So if you want to talk about the victims, it's not the Castros.
	It's not the Che Guevara social justice warriors.
	It's the people of Cuba who are still getting screwed, regardless of Obama's PR tour.
	Ladder with Crowder.
	We'll be back.
	Everybody was kung fu fighting.
	Those kids were fastest lightning.
	In fact, it was a little bit frightening.
	But they fought with expert timing.
	This is breaking news of the Lawler with Crawler.
	I'm Perry Matheson.
	We now take you live to the historic meeting of President Barack Obama and Raul Castro in Cuba.
	Barack, I am so glad to see you.
	It's been too long.
	Welcome to Cuba and this opening of communication for this great historic moment.
	Thank you.
	I'm glad to be here.
	So what do you want to see first?
	Cigars, the women, the gulags, Havana, your choice.
	Now, did you just say gulags?
	Don't be silly.
	Here's a cigar.
	Very good.
	Sound like you just said gulags.
	You will not speak out.
	Now, what's going on back there?
	Don't be silly!
	No!
	It is not what you think.
	We're making a lot of progress.
	What's going on back there?
	It's nothing!
	Come, come!
	I am going to take you to my face.
	You will never believe the size of these shrimps, okay?
	We'll keep you updated as this historic event unfolds.
	On Waller with Crowler, I'm Perry Mathelton.
	On Waller with Crowler, I'm Perry Mathelton.
	And Twitter is blowing up tonight.
	This is bizarre.
	It's bizarre for Twitter to be blowing up.
	Who knows what's going on?
	It's been a busy week.
	It's been a busy week.
	I'm wondering if we should talk about...
	Yeah, let's talk about Trump and Cruz later.
	And we have to address it because it's in the news, but...
	I don't feel like talking about it.
	I'll be looking forward to getting Brad Thorne next.
	So, Brussels happened this week, and we will have Gerald Morgan on to talk about it.
	Did you see all the tweets about Turkey and people who were all mad about it?
	Did you see all that?
	I'm actually a little out of loop on that one.
	So, Casey wrote about this at the site.
	We both kind of wrote about it, but it's really her baby.
	Turkey, when this happened in Brussels, they were complaining, saying...
	Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
	I saw that.
	Because there have been terrorist attacks in Turkey.
	And right away, whenever this...
	In Paris or Brussels...
	What happened after Paris?
	There was another attack.
	Was it Turkey?
	No, it was something in Africa.
	I can't remember, I think, where.
	Or was it Turkey?
	It was somewhere else in the Islamic world that there was another terrorist attack.
	Yeah.
	Anyway, the point being, right after Brussels, and we have the tweets up there, they're complaining, oh, really disappointed that the world is way more offended at the Brussels attack than Turkey.
	All right.
	This is politically incorrect, but let me clue you in as to why people are more offended, why it's, I guess, more alarming when this happens in Brussels than Turkey.
	It's because you're Muslim.
	No, there's no more explanation.
	It's because you're Muslim.
	It's because 98% of Turkish people identify as Muslim.
	Now, in the free world, in the westernized world, I say free because Europe, you know, we're kind of, we're using it technically.
	It's abnormal.
	In places where 6% Muslim, 8% Muslim, it's abnormal what happened in Belgium.
	They don't accept that.
	They don't tolerate that.
	They want human rights.
	They've fought for human rights.
	It's the rule rather than the exception in the Islamic world.
	It's not news.
	Now, the reason we don't mourn it every time it happens in Turkey, whether it's Iran, Saudi, anywhere, is because we have desk jobs.
	We don't have the time in the day.
	It happens all the time.
	This year alone in Turkey, I think there's been five or six bombings.
	It happens all the time.
	Does it mean that life is any less valuable?
	No.
	What it means is that it's not surprising.
	And rather than getting mad at Americans or Europeans for not being as outraged, maybe you should get a little, maybe direct that anger toward the ideology that breeds the rampant, constant, non-stop terrorism throughout the entire Islamic world that has desensitized us to begin with.
	Sorry!
	We don't feel as bad about it because you're a country that is largely Muslim.
	Because you're a country, a lot of these countries, you're countries that support Sharia law, or you're countries that treat women as second-class citizens, or you're countries that throw people off rooftops for speaking with a lisp.
	We don't feel as bad about the terrorism because you're an Islamic country.
	The things that we have fought for in government, regardless of terrorism, now I'm not talking about just terrorism, the things that, I don't know, Belgium, France, certainly the United States has fought for in a government, you've constantly resisted.
	Freedom of speech.
	People being allowed to convert trade between religions freely.
	Freedom of sexuality.
	To do whatever you want.
	You fought against that.
	And that breeds the atmosphere where there are constant bombings.
	You guys have bombings more often than my dad checks his Fitbit.
	So yeah, we don't feel as bad.
	Oh yeah, I guess it happened in Turkey.
	But in Belgium it's a big deal.
	It's also a big deal because Belgium, France...
	They tried to be tolerant and liberal, and they let you in, and they kind of screwed the pooch.
	You're seeing this with Germany.
	We talked about this.
	If you look at Germany, the elections, the far right-wing nationalists that are coming up now, well, for Germany.
	I mean, the nationalism is disconcerting.
	I understand it.
	The pendulum swings the other way.
	With Belgium.
	When people say the United States causes this, they talk about this a lot, right?
	Well, if the United States didn't destabilize the Middle East.
	Okay.
	So it's the United States.
	Yeah, yeah, Islam is mad at the Western world.
	It's you guys.
	Okay.
	Canada?
	Belgium?
	France?
	Denmark?
	Greece?
	Spain?
	Pick it.
	Pick it.
	So anyone in the free...
	Germany?
	Sweden?
	Did they earn their rape capital of the West through their interventionism in Iraq?
	I hope people understand this.
	I think it's finally being deconstructed a little bit, this myth that the United States brings terrorism on themselves because of them being interventionists abroad.
	Now listen, generally speaking, I'm more non-interventionist.
	That's what I liked about Rand Paul.
	To a degree, it depends.
	I believe in a strong national security, but I believe the first question to ourselves if we go into a country is, is it in the United States' best interest as far as security?
	Not nation-building.
	Is it in the best interest of the United States?
	That's what I think.
	But Belgium, what do you think they say to these people who blew them up?
	Well, we were liberal!
	We let you in!
	We tolerated you!
	Ow!
	Ow!
	We're feeding you!
	Ow!
	Ow!
	What do you think?
	What did you think would happen?
	Did you think if you were nice enough to them that this wouldn't happen?
	And by the way, I'm not talking about the Belgian people.
	They've turned on this.
	It's the Belgian government, right?
	It's Germany.
	They're letting these people in against the will of the people.
	They're letting these migrants in against...
	And people are tired of it.
	People are tired of it.
	People have opened their eyes, and what once was only whispered about Islam, everyone now goes, yeah, you know, it's a real problem.
	Yeah, it's a real problem.
	I just don't think they can be brought into the modern world.
	That used to be hate speech.
	Now it's simply a statistically observable fact.
	And Belgium is...
	I think you're going to see a lot more of this.
	Unless you start cracking down on it.
	Sorry, Europe.
	Europe mocked us for all...
	Right?
	Remember after...
	Europe mocked us.
	Oh, Samaria.
	They're arrogant.
	They're bringing this on themselves.
	Well, did you guys?
	Because...
	Here it is.
	I don't know.
	You've gotten that.
	I mean, you've got that probably all the time from your friends, right?
	Well, if the United States didn't do A, the terrorists wouldn't do XYZ. It just doesn't work that way.
	I don't know where that all started, that the world works that way with the Islam world, and it just doesn't.
	I mean, look, historically, it's always been that way.
	Right.
	The left wants to...
	Because their sell, right?
	The sell from Barack Obama, the sell from Bernie Sanders, is they point to things that are just reality, right?
	Healthcare should never be so expensive.
	Never?
	Maybe sometimes it should be expensive.
	College should always be affordable.
	Always?
	Maybe sometimes it shouldn't be affordable to everybody.
	They want to sell you that they can control everything.
	And so that flies in the face of the idea that there's evil in this world.
	Let me give you an idea as far as child marriage and rape.
	It's a rampant problem in the Islamic world, namely because Muhammad himself raped a heck out of a six-year-old girl, Aisha, his favorite wife, but he maybe only raped her when she was nine.
	You look at a girl.
	We were at a place, Rusty Taco, and we were looking at this girl.
	She was so cute.
	She came out of this ballet class, a girl with her slippers, and she just wanted everyone to see her.
	And we all thought, oh my gosh, this girl is so cute.
	Just every one of us was talking about how adorable she is.
	We looked at her.
	Any guy in there, any dad would have done anything in the world for her.
	Someone else looks at that child and thinks, how can I exploit her?
	How can I harm her?
	That's their first thought.
	Some people are evil.
	Understand that.
	And understand you can't reason with evil.
	Reason with the people you can.
	And don't waste your time on those who can't.
	Speaking of reasonable, Brad Thor, after this.
	Stay tuned.
	This is John Kasich's Ask Me Anything, and I approve this message.
	Glad for everyone to be here.
	We're really trying to run a positive campaign, and I'm glad to see members of the press coming together as opposed to being just divisive.
	So, uh, you, yes, for the first question.
	Yes, thank you, Mr.
	Kasich.
	Uh, first question.
	Why are you such a piece of s***?
	Now, now that's, you really think that's necessary?
	It is a valid question.
	Well, I don't think it is.
	I think it is.
	Well, I don't.
	But I do.
	Well, I mean, I really don't think I am.
	Stay tuned for more of John Kasich's Ask Me Anything.
	I'm John Kasich, and I approve this message.
	I'ma do the things that I wanna do.
	I ain't got a thing to prove to you.
	I ain't gonna win the cause that you'll run.
	I don't give a hoot about what you think.
	All right, I'm glad to come back with this next guest.
	He's just had horrible luck on Louder with Crowder.
	Not Gay Jared is the single most unprofessional producer in all of radio, and I'm just stuck right now because, for reasons I can't disclose...
	You love me.
	It's out.
	This gentleman was on before.
	People were saying, where's the video online?
	We didn't have the video.
	And then Not Gay Jared kept him waiting for an inordinately long amount of time.
	His latest book, he sells them like hotcakes.
	Best-selling author, I don't know how many times.
	Foreign Agent is the book, BradThor.com.
	That's B as in Bradley, T as in Thor's hammer.
	BradThor, just go BradThor.com.
	BradThor, thank you, sir.
	You're welcome.
	Good to be with you.
	Yes, well...
	I'd like Jared's home address, okay?
	Just slide that to text it to me after the show.
	You and every sprite in San Francisco.
	I don't blame you.
	Or should I say bears?
	I don't know.
	I think the bears are the ones who like them.
	Okay, so listen.
	I mean, you and I have been following each other for a while, and I follow you on Twitter every now and then.
	That's kind of how I stay.
	I look, peer into the window of people's lives, which is funny because it's not real life.
	But you have been...
	They've been laying into you Not only, obviously, Trump fans and people who, I don't know, they don't like you, but now we have this Brussels this week.
	So you've written a lot about sort of your novels centered around, I guess, sort of national security issues.
	Do you think we're going to wake up here?
	Do you think people are going to wake up?
	Do you think this is going to be the straw that breaks the camel's back?
	Europe is falling.
	We're seeing this sort of actually scary right-wing nationalism in Germany.
	Or do you think it's just another day at the office?
	It's a great question.
	Europe should function as the canary in the coal mine.
	And for your listeners who don't know me and haven't read my books, I write thrillers.
	So my job is entertainment.
	Toes in the sand, book in the hand kind of a thing.
	Think Clancy or Ludlum.
	That's the style of stuff that I do.
	And I look to Europe a lot because there's so much happening over there.
	But we don't seem to learn any lessons in this country.
	Whether it's the entitlement state and the failures therein, whether it's terrorism, whether it's the immigration issues they're having over there, it is a big wake-up call.
	It should be.
	In fact, San Bernardino should have been, back in December, an even bigger wake-up call for this country.
	Well, you know, San Bernardino, according to Barack Obama, is still gun violence.
	Right, exactly.
	Just like Fort Hood was workplace violence for years.
	Well, we did a video on that on Vox, on gun crime, and it was one of the most misleading videos out there.
	You can go see it on YouTube, where they switch graphs from per capita to overall numbers, and it's no longer a comparison.
	And then instead of using countries that are, they say the UN's top ten most developed nations, and all of a sudden Japan isn't in there, or South Korea, and The United States, they just tailor it so it has the highest suicide rate.
	And they were talking about how, look at all these deaths causes.
	And they had AIDS, because apparently that's a big killer.
	No, it's not.
	Terrorism.
	Don't worry, Jared.
	You're safe.
	Well, it depends.
	And then he still works in my office.
	I don't know if he can catch me from coughing, but I'm concerned.
	And then...
	Career-killing interview!
	This is it.
	Can I get a T in this?
	This is why people come on the program.
	Next time we'll have you play newest gender pronouns and we will urinate on the ashes of the career that was once Brad Thor's.
	We just got a request today.
	I'm not kidding.
	From I Am Kate.
	Asking if they could run one of our videos.
	Like if they could use it in the reality show.
	It's been great publicity for you.
	I don't know.
	There are several reasons because I'm not the only one in the video.
	I can't disclose it.
	I'm like, I'm fine with it, but I don't want to hurt this other guy who's in the video.
	But I don't know.
	Caitlyn Jenner seems like a decent guy, you know?
	Listen, I met him before he became Kate.
	I met him at Sirius when I was on book tour one year before he was going over to London for the Olympics.
	And we sat there and talked about the Republican Party and talked about politics.
	And it was a great – Bruce Jenner, Caitlyn Jenner, very smart person.
	Yes.
	Well, I always felt so sad watching – like I once saw an episode of The Kardashians.
	That alone is enough to pity the poor guy.
	Well, that's it.
	You watch it, and the kids have no idea that their dad was an absolute rock star.
	Like, he was the pinnacle.
	Everyone had a poster of him on there.
	He was the perfect male.
	He was like, oh, he's a dumb idiot.
	I was going, that's Bruce Jenner!
	And now you slap some boobs on him, and he's a superstar all over again.
	So you're saying it's genuine, the conservatism with Bruce Caitlyn.
	Oh, yeah.
	No, I felt it was.
	We had a great talk about everything.
	And super guy.
	I mean, it was short.
	It was five minutes in the lobby with me waiting to go on one of the shows.
	But we chatted.
	I really enjoyed talking with him.
	Super, super bright guy.
	Great American.
	Obviously represented this country incredibly well in the Olympics.
	So I enjoyed my time.
	My whole five minutes.
	It's serious.
	That was back before black guys in track really became a thing.
	Because the records have substantially changed.
	Well, is it the Iranians that run women?
	You know, they kind of pull the whole East German thing.
	Yeah.
	And are they going to rewrite all the records now that they want?
	Well, now they hate him because he still wants to vote Republican.
	So they're not going to give him any slack.
	Well, not only does Caitlyn want to vote Republican, Ted Cruz doesn't hate Donald Trump, but prefers Ted Cruz.
	That's even worse to the left.
	How dare you?
	It is funny when you go back and watch the Bruce Jenner race, there's one black guy.
	You're like, well that changed quickly and apparently they realized that they were faster than Bruce.
	So we're talking about San Bernardino.
	It's still listed as gun violence, not terrorism.
	So you say Europe might be the canary in the coal mine.
	It should be.
	But do you think people are at the stage where they're willing to see it as so?
	Or do you think it's just, well, it's workplace violence, it's gun violence.
	Are we still going to put our head in the sand?
	Well, it depends on who you mean by who.
	I mean, if it's the average American citizen, they're not even plugged into the political process.
	I mean, that's one of the funny things, is you and I retweet each other all the time, and I'm looking at your stuff and you're reading mine.
	And I think it was Sean Davis or Ed Morrissey who wrote this great piece about...
	We're so politically active and we know everything that's going on and we know who the candidates are and what the policies are and all this stuff and we think that because this stuff is so important everybody else should be as tuned in as we are and that's not the case so when it comes to terrorism There are some really great men and women in our intelligence agencies and law enforcement and the special operations community, in particular in the military, that are tuned in, that are concerned about this stuff.
	But I think the average American and a lot of the politicians are just out to lunch.
	If we can't even call it Islamic terrorism or terrorism that's driven by the Quran and the Hadith, we're never going to get anywhere.
	We're never, ever going to fix it.
	I think you're mostly right, but I also think that's what kind of gives me a little bit of hope.
	Like you said, a lot of people aren't plugged in, and I think that the cultural pendulum is swinging the other way, and that even for those people who aren't plugged in, they're calling BS and the multicultural pro-Islam BS. They're not really listening to Hillary Clinton at this point.
	They're going, okay, this is enough.
	There's a trend here.
	So I think even people who aren't plugged in politically, most people, whereas at one time they were going to jump right on the Islamophobia train, I think you're going to have more people take the default position of, yeah, Islam's a problem.
	Well, you didn't hear Samuel L. Jackson jumping up this time in Brussels saying, I hope it was white guys.
	Remember?
	That was his big thing after Sam Bernardino.
	I hope it's white people.
	And they went, aw, damn it.
	No, no, no.
	That's what he says when they were cast in a new film.
	He's talking about the director because he doesn't want to be another Spike Lee piece of crap.
	No, but he did say that about Sam Bernardino.
	He got in a lot of trouble.
	He didn't get in trouble in his circles, but he got a lot of attention that he wanted it to be white people and he was all, you know, hangdog when it was Muslims.
	My dad can't stand Samuel L. Jackson.
	It's just one of those guys who rubbed my...
	Every time my dad sees him, like, the Capital One commercial goes on, I then get annoyed by my dad.
	He's like, why is he always angry?
	Why is this his shtick?
	It's annoying.
	What do you have in your wallet?
	It's like somebody kind of shivved Bill Cosby.
	So it goes, it's kind of that loud thing.
	Or it's like Bill Cosby didn't get the pill into the coffee in time and he had to spend the night alone at the bar.
	And then he becomes Samuel L. Jackson's.
	It's like that Viagra commercial for, what was the Italian car for the Fiat, that the guy loses his Viagra out the window and it ends up going into the Fiat thing, except Bill Cosby's all upset because it's Rohypnol.
	Wait, was this commercial for a Fiat or for Viagra?
	No, it was a Fiat commercial for the beef.
	Oh, okay.
	And this old man was about to pop his Viagra in Italy, and this young mistress, and the tab goes out the window and ends up in the gas tank of the Fiat, and it plumps out and gets all sporty and lowered to the ground.
	Wow, that sounds like a terrible commercial.
	It works in Italy.
	They sell everything in Italy through pure sex.
	You ever seen Mexicans sell cars?
	It's just breasts.
	You're like, hey, hey, hey!
	And it's a woman.
	She's like, hey, it's Honda!
	And you're like, well, okay, whatever.
	I'll buy it.
	It's absolutely true.
	We learned this in college.
	Yeah, it's all guys look at.
	Well, no, specifically in Latin American countries and then, of course, in Italy, Spain, it's just that's the way they market.
	And then you have certain countries where they market through technology like Germany.
	And I think it's in the United States.
	Action tends to work.
	Sex and action, specifically.
	Anyway, sorry.
	Speaking of action, we can get back to Islam.
	You work in, obviously, an industry that's very left-leaning.
	Not as much as, say, obviously, like film and TV exclusively when you're writing.
	Do you sense a shift among your peers as writers, as professional writers who were far left?
	Do you think they're catching on?
	You know, I don't know.
	It's funny because it is, as a writer, it's very, very solitary.
	I mean, I deal with my publishers, I deal with my editor, and the people at Simon& Schuster are all fantastic, and it runs the gamut, believe it or not, of political ideology.
	So you've got people who are Hillary Clinton supporters, people who are Cruz, Trump supporters, it's all across the board.
	And as far as what other authors are doing, I can think of one right now who is a particularly...
	I'm not going to mention the guy, but you could...
	I mean, the terrorist could come in and wipe out his whole family, and he still wouldn't say, Muslim terrorism.
	So I don't necessarily know that it's had an impact on authors, but in all fairness, there's kind of a key group of guys that I talk to, and they're across the board politically, and There's a lot of that stuff that we just avoid.
	We don't talk about it.
	I think the guys that are writing about Muslim terrorists have seen it the entire time and the guys that write about other things haven't.
	Let me ask you a question because you're a really accomplished writer.
	You have an editor.
	Are you really finicky before you send it to them that everything is or are there still typos or maybe like parentheses aren't perfect or do you make sure it's perfect so the editor has very little work?
	No, I mean, I try to make it as clean as possible when I'm writing it, and then my wife reads it once, and she's an amazing editor.
	So my wife catches a lot before it even gets to my editor in New York.
	So I think my editor gets a very, very clean first draft, and she still catches stuff.
	And then there's a copy editor that goes through with a ruler line by line and still catches more.
	So it's more important for me to get a great, exciting story on the page than to get all the commas right.
	And actually, Stephen, I'm not that good.
	I'm one of the worst spellers.
	If it wasn't for spellcheck, man, my family would be starving.
	Well, I ask it because Courtney, one of our writers, she's very good at that.
	We're a ragtag crew, so it's either me or Courtney who's proofing it.
	I always wonder what authors.
	I had someone who was a bestselling author one time send me when we were going out to dinner, and it was through email.
	And I couldn't, it was, it was, it was, I couldn't even read it.
	And I was going, there was no period, there was no punctuality, there was no capitals.
	And I'm going, well, maybe I'm being too hard on myself.
	That was all, that was just a personal thing.
	So, no, apparently, you hear that, Jerry Brad?
	Brad Thor's perfect.
	Um...
	We have a minute left, so we have to, I don't know how we have to wrap this up before we go to the next segment.
	Because that's the thing, when you have a minute left, you don't want to cut Brad Thor off because he's Brad Thor.
	He's Brad Thor.
	He's squashed my nuts into oblivion.
	What do you want to talk about when we go after the break so that we please you and you don't take our show off the air?
	Let's talk about politics being downstream of culture.
	Andrew Breitbart's famous line.
	Andrew Breitbart, the man, or the trademark?
	No, Andrew Breitbart, the man.
	Okay, that's true.
	Did you write at Big Hollywood back when it was Big Hollywood?
	I did a couple of things for Big Government, Big Peace, several of the bigs when Andrew was still alive.
	Okay, so a little, yeah, a little bit for that, because the first thing was bighollywood.breitbart.com because someone else was sitting on Big Hollywood, and I remember back then I was there with Adam Baldwin and Shapiro, and it was a grand old time.
	Fellas.
	Fellas, fellas.
	All right, Jay, we're going to a break.
	Okay, all right, louder with Crowder.
	Stay tuned.
	Stay tuned.
	I'm Perry Matheson.
	We now take you live to the historic meeting of President Barack Obama and Raul Castro in Cuba.
	Yes!
	Eat, drink!
	How's your shrimp?
	Did I not tell you they have the best shrimp?
	That's pretty good shrimp.
	He likes it!
	I told you!
	I'm glad to be here, but I do want to talk about human rights.
	Sure, sure!
	Human rights!
	What is that?
	You say tomato?
	I think you have a hot phone call on the dissident f**k!
	We all have our opinions!
	He likes the shrimp!
	Now, see, that's what I'm talking about.
	Listen, Barack!
	Okay?
	We want to start new.
	We wouldn't want you to try and culturally appropriate us, man.
	You don't understand.
	We have a long-standing tradition in Cuba of jamming hot pokers up dissidents.
	See, now that's going to be a speed bump if we're going to open up lines of communication.
	Okay, okay.
	We'll talk about it.
	Don't take so serious.
	Let's go out.
	We can do some trust-building exercises, huh?
	That sounds progressive.
	We'll keep you updated as this historic event unfolds.
	On Waller with Crowler, I'm Perry Matheson.
	You're a strange animal, that's what I know.
	But you're a strange animal, I've got to follow.
	Oh, I'm in the spiritus...
	All right, glad to be back with a guest.
	Bradthor.com.
	That means it's Brad Thor.
	Thank you for being back with us, sir.
	You said you wanted to talk about how politics is downstream from culture.
	Yeah, Andrew Breitbart talked about that a lot.
	And that's why I was talking about how I think regardless of whether people are politically plugged in or not, I think culturally there's been a real swing with Islam.
	And like them or not, I think the Donald Trump phenomenon can be explained by people saying, okay, you know, I'm just going to be offended.
	You want to accuse me of being racist, sexist, homophobic?
	Fine.
	Fine.
	Let's go with that.
	I don't care anymore.
	Here's Donald Trump.
	And even though maybe a lot of people don't necessarily support everything he says, it's just that pendulum swinging.
	Now, anger isn't the best reason to vote, but I think you're seeing that.
	I think you're seeing that with Islam.
	I think you're seeing that with guns.
	I think you're seeing that with feminism and free speech.
	So I think culturally those are four winning issues right now.
	Do you feel that way?
	Or what do you think is more important, I guess, culturally as far as influence when compared with the micro-political climate of today?
	Jeez, that was a mouthful of a question.
	It was a mouthful.
	I was trying to sound wordy because you're such a successful author.
	What I really should say is, Brad, do you like guns and stuff?
	You like guns and stuff?
	Listen, when Trump first got in the race, and I won't go off on a Trump rant here, I was on TV saying I thought it was an excellent addition to the Republican primary because if it drew people's attention to the Republican platform, that was fantastic.
	Sure.
	So I actually thought, as Trump was telling people he was conservative, that he was going to talk at least about conservative principles in government, so limited government and self-reliance and these kinds of things.
	I thought maybe he'd talk about the Constitution a little bit and stuff like that.
	Maybe I would hear him...
	Fool you!
	Yeah, fooled you.
	He got you!
	You thought I was going...
	Got him!
	Ah!
	I had said, I'd been on Lou Dobbs' show, and I had said, listen, I'm happy to have Trump in the race.
	In fact, if Snooki wants to get in and she'll talk about Republican policies, be glad to have her.
	And of course, yeah, shame on me.
	I got fooled on that.
	But it is, for me...
	These things are important to me as an American.
	You follow me on Twitter, like we said in the previous segment, I follow you.
	It's interesting to watch my numbers on Twitter because I don't necessarily think everybody that follows me on Twitter is actually out reading my thrillers, which is very, very interesting.
	I'll find people that I will tweet out something about, hey, my new book is coming out, and people will be like, oh, you're just in it to sell books.
	And I said, oh, sorry, I'm supposed to be here 24-7 entertaining you with snarky and insightful political tweets, but this is actually how I feed my family, is writing thrillers.
	And it's a tough business.
	It's tough to be in popularity.
	We're making movies in Hollywood and the people we're dealing with have been terrific.
	But there's not a lot of people who are kind of conservatarian where they want limited small government and, you know, the kind of government to fit the realm and be in the sphere that the founders intended and then to stay out of everything else and return power back to the states so that people can be closer to all of those decisions at their state capitol.
	Big thing for me as somebody who's a patriot, but also in the arts, it's a difficult balancing act.
	And could I sell more books if I just shut up?
	You know, if I wasn't out there talking about shrink government, get away from gun control.
	Lou Dobbs is still alive?
	Oh, come on.
	Lou is a...
	He is a really good guy.
	I have enjoyed doing...
	I saw Larry King once in Los Angeles at a cafe, and I swear to you, they pulled him out of, like, a Jim Hansen museum, and he's just held together with wire and string.
	I couldn't believe it.
	So skinny.
	I sat next to him.
	I was on the treadmill next to him at a hotel when I was in L.A., and, you know, he's walking.
	He's got a squawk man on, and he's listening to some music, and then all of a sudden you hear, Boise, Idaho!
	Have you seen his show, Jared?
	No, I haven't.
	The new internet show?
	Have you seen it?
	He interviewed Andrew W.K. And he's just like, it's the most uncomfortable thing.
	He was like interviewing Jenna Marbles from YouTube.
	He's like, so, this internet, here to stay!
	Steve, I gotta throw two plugs out here because you're a comedian and I know you like to laugh.
	I am binging on two things right now that I find absolutely hysterical.
	One is a podcast called the Dead Authors Podcast.
	And are you familiar with these guys?
	No, I'm not.
	I'll need to look it up.
	Alright, so the Dead Authors Podcast is hysterical where they do it at the Groundlings Theater in L.A. Oh, my brother told me about this, yeah.
	Yeah, it's hysterical.
	One of my favorites is they have a comedian playing Ian Fleming, and the whole idea here is that Paul F. Tompkins is H.G. Wells, and he's got his time machine, and he can go back in time and bring authors to this theater in L.A. and interview him.
	And so Ian Fleming won, and then Anne Frank.
	My brother did send me some clips from Anne Frank.
	It was funny.
	It's so funny.
	So that's the first one.
	And then the second one that we just stumbled on on Showtime is David Steinberg's series Inside Comedy.
	And it's fantastic.
	And I just got to meet David Steinberg via Twitter this week.
	I did a tweet saying how I'm binging it.
	I love it.
	And Steinberg tweeted me back saying, I've been a big fan of your books for a long time.
	And it's one of the reasons how I know you is from Twitter.
	That's See the anti-Semitism?
	I say Larry King and he just tries to find a way to work in Steinberg.
	Oh, I know another Jew!
	Virtue signaling!
	I'm not anti-Semitic!
	Oh, whatever.
	They tweeted me once.
	We're close.
	Next thing you know, the forward for his book is going to be written by David Duke.
	Listen, no, I went to a predominantly Jewish high school.
	I'm an honorary member of the tribe.
	I've been to more high holidays than I have Christian holidays, I tell everybody.
	Oh, well, okay.
	No, it is funny.
	If you watch the Larry King show, Andrew W.K., he was interviewing me.
	He's like, Andrew W.K., what's the rumor that you're not real?
	It's like some Illuminati conspiracy.
	The guy's out of his mind.
	Okay, so sorry, we were talking about, oh, we only have a minute.
	Okay, so what do you think is, because we only have a minute left, what do you think is the most important thing now as we move forward in election, Islam, it seems like the world is upside down.
	What's the silver lining for Americans out there from someone like you who works in pop culture?
	Well, I'll tell you, I think one of the greatest things we're seeing is now a pushback on political correctness, which is going to make culture and it's going to make things a little bit more fun.
	We don't have to walk on eggshells all the time.
	I think you're true.
	And whether, you know, we're not Trump guys in our number one draft pick, but there is value there where people say, oh, okay, you don't have to be political.
	I've considered now like running for mayor.
	And if people could say, hey, did you say this horrendously?
	And I go, yeah, it sounds like me.
	Yes, I did.
	Boise, Idaho!
	Yeah, Boise, Idaho!
	Let's move on to Steinberg.
	Okay, bradthor.com.
	Brad, thanks for being here, brother, and we'll have to have you back with no more technical glitches.
	Yeah, right.
	Brad Thor, Liner with Crowder.
	Stay tuned.
	Stay tuned.
	Former Governor of Minnesota here, Jesse Ventura.
	The bod.
	You know, this left-right paradigm that's been fed to the American public, and this pop culture for profit, media-driven entity is designed to keep you in the sand.
	So that you don't focus on what's really mattering to Americans.
	Which Kardashians on which magazine cover with which ass.
	I'll tell you who the ass is.
	It's you, the American public, for letting a string still being pulled on your ass.
	Know the facts!
	Hey, if you're listening to or watching this podcast, there's a strong chance that you are not yet following me on Twitter, at S. Crowder, where I'm tweeting all day long.
	I'm ticking off the social justice warriors.
	You should see the amount of hate I get on there.
	Far, far, far worse than any Fat Sports Illustrated model or Black Lives Matter charlatan.
	So listen, it's free.
	You get to be entertained and you can chime in.
	Also, if you're following me on Twitter, you can send me your tweets and maybe you'll be lucky enough.
	And I mean lucky enough because I have a lot of followers, okay, that they call me the follower machine to have your tweet to me or not Gay Jared included in our rockinest tweet of the week.
	So follow me on Twitter at S Crowder.
	If not, I don't want to say I have sights on your mother, but...
	Oh, she's dead?
	You're just saying that because I made a mom joke.
	No, she's really dead?
	then, well, you kind of walked into it.
	You've found yourself at the junction where worlds meet.
	Politics.
	Civility?
	How about honesty in this country, folks?
	Entertainment.
	I don't like entertainment.
	And a whole bunch of other stuff.
	It's about having a healthy body image.
	You have a very unhealthy body.
	You should have a horrible body image.
	Not a big home improvement market in Detroit.
	We are You're a strange animal!
	You're getting louder with Crowder.
	Glad to be back, everyone.
	Of course, the second hour, you can follow, if you're listening terrestrially, you can go to ladderwithcrowder.com for the live stream.
	By the way, WKMQ, Missouri.
	Thanks for picking up the program.
	Another station, wonderful station out there in Missouri has picked up the program.
	Producing with me in studio, as always, is NotGayJarred.
	Follow him on Twitter at NotGayJarred.
	I fulfill my legal obligations.
	Draw your own conclusions.
	Are we good, Jared?
	I appreciate that.
	We are good.
	Brad Thord.
	Good guy.
	Good guy, yeah.
	Seems like a smart guy.
	Seems like a smart guy.
	Probably knows a lot of words.
	He uses the best words.
	He's going to use the best words.
	All right, so we have, and then coming up after this, in this hour, we're going to have Sergeant Catherine.
	Who will be calling in, talking about the mandatory sensitivity training in the military, and then, of course, Gerald Morgan.
	After that, all right, it's kind of obligatory.
	Obligatory?
	Obligatory.
	Some people still say obligatory.
	How do you say it?
	Tweet me, that's Crowder.
	Obligatory.
	You say obligatory, yeah.
	I think it was a lot of Canadians who said obligatory.
	Well, they're wrong about split everything, so I wouldn't take their word for it.
	When Google Maps gives you a R-O-U-T-E... A route.
	Not a route.
	You don't say route.
	Is that an American-Canadian thing, or are there Americans who say route?
	I've heard a lot of Americans say route, too.
	A lot of Americans have said route.
	Just like tour or tour.
	There's a lot of words out there that kind of like...
	Who says tour?
	Tour?
	Yeah, this band's going on tour.
	Tour?
	Who says that?
	A lot of people.
	A lot of people.
	Normal people with functional IQs.
	No, they're not intelligent.
	But they're out there.
	Are these people who can feed themselves?
	It depends on the day.
	We'll say that.
	Okay, that's my question.
	Those same people who send TV dinners out to the African children.
	When I'm polling here, I'm talking about the general, you know, the median IQ. I'm not talking about somebody who gets, you know, potatoes touching his beef and he crusts his eustachian tube.
	Those outsiders, they really throw off the statistics.
	So, I don't know.
	They throw off the media.
	Okay.
	So, let me kind of set the...
	A table for you here.
	A lot of people are furious about this.
	Listen, I've talked about this.
	Donald Trump is not my draft pick, obviously.
	But I've defended him where I think he's right.
	There are things that I like about him.
	Him insulting people's wives for not being as attractive as his third wife is not one of them.
	Now, people, well, why don't you bring up the fact that Ted Cruz insulted his wife first?
	Because he didn't.
	It's not true.
	And I got a lot of flack last week.
	Why are you sticking up for John Kasich?
	Listen to the podcast.
	It's almost a guarantee that every single episode, we make fun of John Kasich in a way that is very unfriendly.
	That being said, truth still matters.
	George Soros did not give him $500,000.
	I got pretty ticked off with Rubio at one point.
	That being said, you'll never see it louder with Crowder, us running a conspiracy that Marco Rubio is a billionaire gay sex toy.
	Because truth still matters.
	That's just where I line up, and I think that's the same here with Ted Cruz and Donald Trump.
	So, Donald Trump posted on Twitter that basically, he put up a picture that said...
	No need to spill it.
	He retweeted it.
	Someone else created this picture saying a picture is worth a thousand words and it had a picture of Melania Trump.
	Is it Melania?
	Melania, I think.
	Melania, I don't know.
	Now you're saying it like John Mulaney.
	A picture of Melania and it had an unflattering picture of Heidi Cruz basically saying, ha ha, my wife's hotter than your wife.
	It was a slam to her looks.
	Now, Heidi Cruz is not a bad-looking woman, either.
	No.
	Listen, any older woman, you can find at an angle, and it's not going to be flattering.
	Any older man at that point.
	Donald Trump doesn't know what an older woman looks like because he trades them in more often than his cars.
	I mean, it would be more fair to compare first wife versus first wife, I think.
	You know, my wife's better looking.
	Well, which one?
	Or is it someone else's wife, the people you were sleeping with?
	You know, that still matters to me.
	So, this went up.
	Donald Trump was going after Ted Cruz's wife, and this was Ted Cruz answering today.
	Let's roll it.
	It's not easy to tick me off.
	I don't get angry often.
	But you mess with my wife, you mess with my kids, that'll do it every time.
	Donald, you're a sniveling coward, and leave Heidi the hell alone.
	So will you support him as the nominee?
	Okay, let's go.
	I'm gonna beat him.
	I love it.
	He says, I'm going to beat him.
	And then pause.
	For the nomination.
	For the nomination.
	And you're sitting there, he's like, I'm going to beat him.
	And you're like, no, no, no, no, no.
	No, hell no!
	You want him to keep going.
	Oh, I know.
	It's just such an awkward question to ask, too.
	You know, just like...
	Right.
	What, the crap?
	The crap?
	So, the Trump camp, of course, they lie in Ted.
	People don't do research here.
	Listen, nobody is spotless, okay?
	There are some things about Ted Cruz.
	We've criticized him.
	We've got a lot of flack that I don't like about Ted Cruz.
	But...
	The argument that Trump camp is using is, well, why don't you address it like that Ted Cruz attacked Trump's...
	No, he didn't.
	There was a PAC, an anti-Trump PAC. There are a lot of anti-Trump PACs, by the way.
	Anyone can create a PAC, and anyone can create a Twitter page for that PAC. Okay?
	So it was an anti-Trump PAC that had no affiliation with Ted Cruz whatsoever.
	Legally, they can't have affiliation.
	They can't be talking to Ted Cruz.
	Well, but to be fair, PACs, people will argue, there's a Mitt Romney PAC. Sure.
	I think there are Ted Cruz PACs that exist.
	This wasn't one of them.
	This is an anti-Trump PAC. But legally, they're not allowed to even coordinate with the candidate themselves, legally.
	No, they're not.
	Not to say it doesn't maybe happen.
	Yeah, and by the way...
	We've kind of dealt with that, having booked presidential guests.
	You know, you have to go through the right channels.
	So it was a PAC, unaffiliated with Ted Cruz, ran an image.
	It was an image that Trump's third wife took by herself for, I think, was it GQ? GQ. GQ. Naked.
	Lovely looking woman naked.
	Donald Trump.
	I mean, listen, we've all seen your wife naked.
	Everyone in America has seen your wife naked.
	So we share that experience with you.
	And, you know, she looks pretty good.
	So it showed her self-picture.
	I mean, she gets naked for money.
	That's what Donald Trump's wife did.
	Donald Trump's third wife gets naked for money.
	And it said, this is your next first lady.
	Or you could vote Ted Cruz on Tuesday.
	So there was an image with this caption, a meme, that they ran as an ad on Facebook.
	Donald Trump uses that.
	It wasn't even a dirty meme that got off some encrypted phone.
	I mean, this is all over Facebook.
	It was all over Facebook, and it had nothing to do with Ted Cruz.
	Even Sean Hannity, who reported that it was from Ted Cruz, apologized for it.
	People who reported it issued retractions and corrected it.
	So now that changes again to, well, Ted Cruz didn't condemn it.
	Listen, you can't condemn everything.
	Now people say, well, why are you good on Trump about the protesters?
	First off, I didn't blame Trump for the violent Bernie protesters.
	That being said, it's a poor argument, okay?
	A PAC, unaffiliated with Ted Cruz, ran a meme online and ran it as a Facebook ad that Ted Cruz never saw, never cleared.
	Donald Trump personally said, Deck him, lay him out, I want to punch him in the face, I'll pay your legal fees.
	It's a little different.
	Ted Cruz personally at no point has insulted Donald Trump's third wife, any of his wives, and Donald Trump personally has insulted Ted Cruz's wife.
	So now the goalposts move, and of course they say, well, it's justified because Ted Cruz is lying, and all of these mainstream conservative sites have, they have these conspiracies from, Ted Cruz has had affairs, Anonymous has said that they have evidence of this, but they also threatened to release it if Ted Cruz didn't drop out before Ohio.
	So I'm wondering why they haven't released it yet.
	Then there's the idea that Ted Cruz's wife is a call girl.
	And then there is this idea that Ted Cruz had an affair with Carly Fiorina.
	These are the rumors that are being circulated.
	And it's because Donald Trump said, I will spill.
	I'll better spill the beans at your wife without ever actually backing anything up.
	So instead of spilling beans, he just said, ha ha ha, your wife is ugly.
	That's kind of where we are.
	I didn't really want to have to talk about it.
	We have to talk about it.
	Tweet me at us, Crowder, as to what you think about it.
	I think, listen, if I am the guy who they're...
	And by the way, people get mad at anyone who wants to defend their wife saying you're a social justice warrior?
	Listen.
	It's not a social justice warrior thing to defend your wife.
	I can't think of anything more masculine than defending your wife's honor.
	At all.
	I can't.
	I know we're in an age where people on the internet are so impressed with how many women you can sleep with.
	Here's something that should clue you in.
	If someone is really impressed by the number of people you've slept with, it means it's hard for them to get laid.
	It's only impressive because it's hard for them.
	Growing up, you know, I watched my father have women thrown at him, threw themselves at him.
	He's just a good-looking older guy, has always stayed in shape, articulate, successful.
	And I, this is just a personal opinion, I always had great admiration for how loyal he was and how he always honored my mom and wore his wedding ring.
	That was something that, to me, I thought, hey, you know what, it would be really easy.
	Because when I'm a teenager, you know, some attractive women, you're thinking like, oh, that would be hard to resist that.
	I think that's a quality that I like in a man.
	I think it's a good character trait.
	You may say that sleeping with more women is more valuable, but a lot of people giving crap to Ted Cruz, the only woman who could sleep with him, it's called a marital contract.
	I know your guy doesn't believe in them, and he's had three, and he's slept with other people's wives, but are we really at a point where we want to start making fun of a guy for being married?
	I mean...
	I just don't know why this is happening on the conservative right.
	I'm dumbfounded that the thrice-married, serial, philandering adulterer who owns strip clubs has convinced the Christian right that he's one of them with a verse from 2 Corinthians.
	You know, I just don't like fakery.
	That's all.
	And I understand that people think Ted Cruz comes across as disingenuous.
	He does.
	Even there, I think that was genuine.
	When he was on the show, remember during the break, we were kind of like, hey, hey, Senator, loosen up a little bit.
	It's just the way he is.
	Some people are like that.
	So I understand the criticisms on both sides.
	Anyway, that's what's happening.
	You can tweet me at us, Crowder, what you think.
	Our wives, fair game.
	And what would you do if someone was making fun of your wife when you're running for president, calling her ugly?
	Would you let it slide?
	Would you talk back?
	Would your presidential run be over because you'd just be beating his ass in the dressing room?
	I don't know.
	You tell me.
	I know what my dad would have done.
	I think my wife is used to it.
	You've seen it.
	We've gotten a lot of stuff from my wife because she's been on the show, so we kind of expect it.
	It's sad that this is the state of American politics.
	We're talking about people's wives.
	Who aren't even, like, really involved in the election process for these guys.
	Well, Ted Cruz's wife is a surrogate.
	They show up to things, but, I mean, that's...
	They don't seem like they're fair game to me.
	Right.
	Well, Melania shows up naked, so, you know, she does provide some moral support for people at the protests.
	Lotta with Crowder.
	Crowder will be back to talk about Disney.
	This is John Kasich's Ask Me Anything, and I approve this message.
	All right, again, I'm trying to keep the spirit of being positive.
	I'm not going to take the lowest road to the highest office in the land.
	Yes, you over there.
	Yes, thank you, Mr.
	Kasich.
	First question, why are you such a piece of s***?
	Now, I'm pretty sure I already answered that question.
	Yeah, I wasn't listening, so...
	Oh, see, I think that's the problem.
	Nobody in America is listening to each other.
	Nah, we're listening.
	Just not you, man.
	Well, I've listened.
	I really don't think I am.
	Yeah, but new poll coming out from Quinnipiniac shows that 89% of Americans sent you a piece of s**t.
	Hey, come on!
	Really?
	Stay tuned for more of John Kasich's Ask Me Anything.
	I'm John Kasich, and I approve this message.
	Okay, business time.
	Really simple.

	We'll be right back.
	All right.
	All right.
	We are back with a few stories.
	Man, we have so much to talk about this week.
	That's the problem with the once a week show.
	Sometimes something happens and you're like, how are we going to fit this into a show?
	But it's better than having to make stuff up when you have a daily show and you're doing like four hours.
	It's just fabricating news right and left.
	Sometimes they're just scraping the bottom of the barrel.
	Oh, yeah.
	Oh, yeah.
	Sometimes these hosts brag that they don't do show prep.
	We don't do show prep.
	Well, you just don't have any respect for your audience.
	Why do you hate your constituency?
	Why do you hate them so?
	They pay your salary.
	Someone tweeted me, Barwon Scorpio, you seem to think that Ted Cruz punching out Trump in the back room over his wife would kill his presidential run.
	Odd notion.
	Hmm.
	Someone said, interesting, actually, Cruz folks attacked his wife.
	People believe that Ted Cruz personally attacked Donald Trump's wife.
	That takes a special kind of stupid.
	Alright, so I do have an email here.
	From Kathleen Kostler.
	I'm not entirely sure.
	She sent a really long email.
	And I told her I would answer her on today's program.
	She was asking me about Canadian health care, all these things.
	And some positive feedback, but some negative feedback.
	She asked me, because I called Leonardo DiCaprio a dumbass.
	Respectfully?
	No, very disrespectful.
	Oh, okay.
	Don't worry.
	You don't need to clear it up.
	I've...
	I made my bed here.
	I'll sleep in it, okay?
	She said, as a Christian, do you think Jesus would call Leonardo DiCaprio a dumbass?
	I don't know if Jesus would.
	But he'd be thinking it.
	And Jesus called people fools.
	I get this a lot.
	Like, hey, you know, why do you insult people if you're a Christian?
	First off, this isn't a Christian show.
	Okay, I never hold myself out as an example to follow for modern Christendom.
	I'm open about my faith, but if you are looking for a pervert example, move on down the line.
	I'm not your guy.
	I try.
	But Jesus called people fools.
	And that's a big deal, too.
	A lot of people think Jesus never insulted anybody.
	When people say, what would Jesus do?
	Let them know that...
	Could be whooping ass and destroying the temple.
	That happened too.
	I mean, this idea that he was just a total hippie.
	Totally an option.
	Yeah, it's totally, like, it's on the table.
	So he called people fools, which is far worse than dumbass.
	If you look at it historically, a fool was calling someone's entire character into question.
	Dumbass is kind of a flippant word to make fun of somebody.
	And so, yeah, I'm perfectly fine with it.
	This person asked me, too.
	We've talked about this, Jared.
	A lot of Christians, too, they say, well, you know, I believe in freedom of speech and I believe in a lot of young Christians are pro-life, but it seems like Republicans don't want to help the poor and the sickest among us.
	And she talked about her parents having to pay $4,000 for her in an emergency room.
	I'm sorry that you were in an emergency room, Kathleen.
	But you've bought into a lie.
	Let me explain it to you.
	You've bought into a lie that Republicans don't care.
	It's not that they don't care.
	It's that they believe in different solutions.
	Now, you mentioned Medicaid in your email.
	That doesn't work very well.
	Social Security doesn't work very well.
	The numbers don't add up.
	You and I, I'm assuming, we're around the same age.
	You won't be getting Social Security just like I won't be getting Social Security.
	When Republicans say, hey, Social Security is broken, if they badmouth it, it's not because they don't want to help people.
	It's because they know that the promises from the left are false.
	As far as your parents having to pay $4,000 for you in an emergency room, listen, my deductible is more than that.
	I have a very high deductible, catastrophic insurance.
	My insurance company pays 100% after that with a low premium.
	Okay?
	And my wife and I stay healthy.
	It is not the job of the taxpayer to ensure low-cost health care for everybody.
	And that being said, you say that Republicans don't have answers.
	They do have answers.
	They talk about opening up insurance across state lines.
	They talk about tort reform.
	So if you believe that Republicans haven't talked about answers, there have been proposals pushed.
	Before the legal channels available in our current system of government, that of course have been completely struck down by the left.
	So if you believe that Republicans haven't done anything, you've bought into a lie.
	And I would advise you read some smarter people and probably get some smarter friends, because that's simply not true.
	It's easy to say, hey, because Republicans don't think it should be free, by the way.
	Free means free for you.
	Free means free for me, not free for somebody else.
	Somebody else is paying for this.
	To say that, man, Republicans don't want me to get this for free, therefore they don't care about people, it's not true.
	They want the systems to work, and they care about the people who are making it free for you.
	So that's something that's important.
	Don't buy that wholesale, this idea that if people don't want to give you stuff, they're somehow mean.
	That would mean that every single parent who doesn't give their children the things they want is a mean, abusive parent, and I don't buy it.
	Sometimes a parent gives you a cookie if you've been good.
	Sometimes a parent gives you a wooden spoon on your posterior.
	Both are signs of love.
	And both are equally productive.
	This is something you get a lot from particularly young Christians.
	You've noticed this.
	Oh, yeah.
	Yeah, because they try to equate the two.
	They try to kind of just bridge the gap between politics and their political views and their Christian thoughts and values.
	And they kind of just think the nice party, the party that's deemed as nice and charitable, must be kind of trying to fit it together with Christianity.
	And it doesn't work.
	I don't know.
	It's funny to watch them try.
	Right.
	Right.
	No, it can't function.
	And like you said, sometimes you have to put your Christian hat on and sometimes your American hat on.
	I think Rand Paul has been pretty good about that.
	I think Ted Cruz is pretty good about that.
	Ted Cruz is obviously deeply Christian.
	Of course, people have attacked him for it, like Drudge and Breitbart and other conservative outlets for being too Christian.
	And that's the right.
	Listen, if you don't like someone who's too Christian, of course you shouldn't vote for them.
	But he's also kept it limited.
	He was on this show when we asked about the drug issue, and he said that should be left to the states.
	He thought the Supreme Court ruling on marriage was a problem and that states should have the right to determine marriage within their borders.
	So he's a guy who is a Christian, but he's a true federalist.
	He's a true constitutionalist.
	Same thing with Rand Paul.
	I think Rand Paul is actually pretty devoutly a faithful person, but he also doesn't believe that he has the right to tell someone what they can and can't put in their body.
	I fall along those lines.
	I'll still talk about drugs not being good for you, but I also don't believe it's my right to tell someone in Colorado that they can't smoke up from a former KFC joint.
	So, hopefully I answered your question.
	Thank you for the email, Kathleen.
	We appreciate it.
	And we're going to go back to making Wiener jokes after this.
	Is it Sergeant Catherine right after this?
	Yeah, I think so.
	She's coming up the next segment?
	Yep.
	Gosh, we are clipping along.
	Okay, so let me set the stage for you before we come in.
	We'll talk with Sergeant Catherine.
	For those not watching, she's adorable.
	Video live stream.
	Former sergeant in the military.
	And right now there is mandatory sensitivity training in the United States military.
	So social justice warriors and feminists have somehow invaded the military.
	I was hoping it'd be the other way around.
	I would have loved to see the United States military just invade feminist conventions.
	Just go nuts.
	Yeah!
	Martial law on the feminists.
	I don't support carpet bombing, with a few exceptions.
	Feminists being on that list, and I don't think that's unreasonable, it's certainly not an untenable position.
	I know people are going to get mad.
	This is why I don't endorse a candidate.
	Someone's going to say, did you get an endorsement from this man who says...
	You should carpet bomb feminists?
	I did say that.
	It sounds like me.
	Lotto with Karate.
	All right, we'll be back.
	We'll be back.
	This is breaking news on the Lower Whale Crawler.
	I'm Perry Matheson.
	We now take you live to the historic meeting of President Barack Obama and Raul Castro in Cuba.
	Okay, this is great.
	This is team building.
	We did this back with the firing squads with Che and Fidel.
	Okay, you promise you're going to catch me?
	I promise I'm going to catch.
	Okay, no tricks now.
	Okay, I'm going to fall back.
	I'm not looking.
	Okay, I'm putting my hand over my face.
	He got me!
	The guy!
	This guy!
	I'm good to my work.
	You are!
	I love that about you.
	Okay, now my turn.
	You're going to fall back.
	Are you ready?
	You're going to catch me?
	Of course!
	I'm ready!
	Fall back!
	Okay, I got you!
	Hey, Barack!
	Barack!
	Okay, someone get the hot poker.
	We'll keep you updated as this historic event unfolds.
	On Waller with Crowler, I'm Perry Matheson.
	Whoa, Jared, what are you doing?
	Shoot bad guys!
	With what?
	AR-15!
	Where'd you get it?
	AR-15.com!
	Oh, there's another one!
	Kaboom!
	You got him!
	Yeah!
	Thank God for AR-15.com!
	They have AR-15 and accessories for sale and the best advice there is on the web!
	Oh no, there's another one!
	Kaboom!
	You got him!
	Yeah!
	With your what?
	AR-15!
	From where?
	AR-15.com!
	That's the best place to go, and that's the takeaway, because this commercial's about to stop!
	We are here.
	We are dancing to Happy Songs.
	So glad to have this next guest.
	She used to listen to the show.
	We used to hear from her more often, so I'm glad to hear that she's okay.
	She's not living in a bomb shelter somewhere like Cloverfield Lane.
	I have to see that.
	Sergeant Catherine House, are you with us, ma'am?
	I'm here.
	Okay, we're glad to have you with us.
	Thank you.
	This is the first time I've seen you, for those watching the live video stream.
	So thank you for being with us.
	Now, you were a sergeant.
	And can you say which branch?
	Yep, it's in the Marine Corps.
	Okay, so you are in the Marine Corps.
	Okay, so have you been following this going on right now, the unconscious bias training?
	You know, until you messaged me, I hadn't heard about it yet.
	Sometimes I go offline for a while.
	Yeah, I know.
	It's probably been pretty toxic lately.
	It's soul-crushing.
	Yeah, I just, you know, it gets exhausting.
	So you can only take so much.
	Okay, well, basically it's mandatory kind of sensitivity training.
	That's what I call it.
	But it's unconscious bias.
	We have it right here.
	Topics include how people prejudge others based on factors such as race, gender, and the principles of institutional change.
	So this is mandatory now because women are going to be on the front lines.
	So let me ask you this.
	When you were there...
	Was there anything like this in the Marines?
	Did they have to give them special treatment and coach the men?
	Or was it everyone fall in line?
	You're all a number like it's kind of supposed to be.
	Right.
	When I was in, it was more the first...
	It was more...
	You're just a number.
	And that's the way it was supposed to be.
	And, you know, we're all one color.
	We're green.
	Right?
	And there's dark green.
	And there's light green.
	But we're all green.
	And it doesn't matter.
	And, yeah, it's really upsetting to see what's happening.
	Just because...
	And I... I hear sensitivity training because of women, and I think, wow, it just reminds me of, I don't know if you, you have a brother growing up, you have a sibling, and you don't want to, you know, play with them or include them, like you have a friend over, and then your parents make you, and there's this resentment.
	And there already is some resentment, you know, of women.
	Of women in the military?
	Yes.
	Okay.
	Did you feel that when you were there?
	You know, sometimes, but sometimes it's warranted.
	And every female Marine was an individual case.
	Well, you're not a particularly large woman.
	You're petite.
	I'm very petite.
	I'm only five feet.
	So I'm very small.
	And, yeah, I... So it seems to me that if someone would want this training, right, this is being designed for people like you, smaller women who might have some trepidation saying, ooh, I don't know if she can carry that heavy gear, and they're trying to tell the guys, no, no, no, no, no, you can't think that way.
	It seems like it's designed for when men walk through those doors, expect a leather-necked tobacco-chewing dude with a crew cut, and they see you.
	Right.
	And one thing that they taught us in the Marine Corps is know your Marines' limitations.
	And so you're supposed to recognize that Marine, whether it be male or female, can't carry that load.
	So you give that Marine a job that they can do.
	But the thing is, when...
	I mean, you know where I stand before on the whole women in combat thing.
	For people who are not listening, she's not very pro-women at the front lines in combat, despite being a female sergeant.
	For those tuning in for the first time.
	No, I was actually on a female engagement team, and in a combat environment and situations, even though it technically wasn't on the front lines, I was in direct support of an infantry unit.
	And it's more than the physical, it's more the dynamic between men and women.
	I find that's more destructive.
	Right.
	Right.
	Well, that's what they're trying to shut off here.
	And you've talked about this.
	It's not just that, listen, you're five foot and you're obviously, you know, you're not rotund.
	So I'm sure we'll get plenty of comments of people, you know, you're a married woman, so people should know that.
	But obviously it might be harder for you to carry some of these packs.
	And men will say, oh my, let's not overburden her because men naturally want to protect women.
	So this is what this is about.
	They're saying, no, no, no, don't prejudge.
	Basically, to guilt men from their natural instincts, well, simultaneously, as you know, lowering PT requirements.
	So men don't know what to do.
	Right.
	Yeah, it's very confusing for them because, you know, they want to treat us the same way, but then, you know, most of us can't do...
	The same things physically, and there's no way.
	I mean, we had some Amazon women who were very muscular and actually kind of built like men that could lift that much.
	But then you have, I'm telling you, beyond the physical, it's a personality factor, too, because it gets...
	Especially the younger Marines, which most are.
	I was kind of older going in.
	I was actually 27, 28 when I was over there.
	And that's actually older.
	Sure.
	With that, you get more maturity, and the younger Marines, they fall easier into starting up maybe a relationship or something, which is totally not allowed.
	No, well, it's not allowed even in your basic office place at the coffee machine, but sometimes people are still getting busy by the coffee machine.
	Right, right, and it messes with...
	It messes with unit cohesion like nobody's business.
	And you get love triangles and you get this.
	I was very fortunate because I had one...
	My co-worker, my partner, my female partner that I was...
	Embedded in the infantry unit with, I was very fortunate.
	She was another, on the older side, female who was married and very faithful and very professional.
	So I didn't run into some problems that other females ran into.
	You make it sound like it's General Hospital with guns.
	Well, it basically is.
	Yeah, it gets really...
	It gets...
	I don't know, in the weeds.
	It just does.
	Right.
	Yeah, well, you know...
	It's just not a good idea.
	No, it just doesn't seem like a good idea.
	And I was just wondering what people, how men want to make sense of this.
	And it seemed like when I was there, when I entertained the troops, it's been a while now, I haven't done it in a while, they actually weren't even allowed to comment on the president, anything political.
	They said, well, you know what, we're not really supposed to even have an opinion on that.
	I'm losing you.
	Well, I'm sorry that you're losing me.
	Are you gone?
	Did we lose Catherine?
	I guess she can't hear me.
	She's frozen right now.
	Alright, well let's let her go, not KJ. Catherine, thank you for being with us.
	We'll have to bring you back.
	Her little one was awake, and I think it was a little bit tough for her, but not someone you'd expect to be a Marine Sergeant.
	No, not at all.
	And it's kind of funny just seeing a different perspective that you don't normally get from people.
	Right.
	She's not the kind of person you would pick out for.
	The kind of training is designed for her.
	Exactly.
	That's what people don't understand.
	It's designed for the smaller woman to tell men, hey, you need to treat them in a way that is respectful and just the same as you would treat any guy.
	Okay, but they're going to do less push-ups and pull-ups.
	So there's that.
	But everything else is the same.
	In the running, they're going to have a longer time for running.
	And don't give them too much heavy stuff to carry because, you know, listen, also they're going to need some time for feminine hygiene.
	But aside from that, you treat them exactly the same.
	It's a really tough position.
	The military was meant to be a microcosm of a world without politics, certainly without gender identity politics, where you went in and you got the job done.
	That's why they shave your hair.
	That's why you're put in the same uniform.
	You know, when people talk about, well, that's actually in a military, you are supposed to be a number.
	You are supposed to be somewhat mindless.
	When you're in a platoon, you are supposed to act as a unit.
	Not mindless in that you're supposed to be dumb, but you're supposed to be mindless in that you don't act on your own volition.
	You act in the best interest of the team, and you take those commands from the top down.
	That's how the military works.
	But now we want to make it about...
	And by the way, that's a good thing in the military.
	Obviously, freedom of speech, being an individual outside of the military, but people need to fall in line.
	That is how the military has operated.
	All of those things are designed to make you into nothing more than a number, and then you become one unit.
	That's how they bond.
	I mean, if anyone has known anyone in the military, they have friends for life.
	Oh, yeah, absolutely.
	Now, do you see this?
	I was thinking about this.
	Do you see this as a kind of the macro movement here?
	Of a way of kind of the progressive movement, trying to kind of infiltrate the military in the same way that they've infiltrated the education system, that teachers are coming out, you know, consistently more and more and farther to the left, that our students and stuff are coming out farther to the left.
	It's kind of just the natural bent.
	Do you see that?
	I mean, you know the military produces a lot of conservatives.
	Yeah.
	People that come in and go in maybe kind of not knowing where they are, generally seem to come out more conservative than not.
	It seems to be the trend.
	Yes.
	I mean, if I'm creating leftist tactics...
	It seems brilliant to me.
	You know, start with, you know, sensitivity training and then move on to...
	It's the one place.
	You know, get the transgenders out there and make it just the norm in a wing of the political left.
	Well, here's the beauty of the left, right?
	What they want.
	They want you to put your children in public school.
	They want the mom to go to work so that you can put the kid in daycare, which should also be publicly funded, according to people like Bernie Sanders and Hillary.
	So they want public schools, the mom working, public daycare, and then free college.
	And if it's not free, either way, you go to college, obviously everyone knows where they lean politically.
	You go into college where it's nothing but leftist professors.
	Oh, we should talk about that.
	We wrote about that professor, I think, was it at Dartmouth?
	Peter Singer, who was arguing for bestiality and infanticide.
	This is the kind of stuff they're teaching at your school.
	By the way, professors will fail students for giving the wrong opinion.
	Public school, public daycare, public college, and then hopefully they get them into a job in the social sector, social work, working for the government, or working for a union.
	If you do that, people are bombarded with the same opinion always.
	The one area where they lose control a little bit is the military.
	Like you said, people tend to come out of there more conservative.
	It's just the nature of the beast, right?
	Or more libertarian.
	You don't see a lot of bleeding heart leftists in the military.
	They exist, but we're making generalizations here because I know I'll get an email.
	You're right.
	That's the one place.
	Gosh, we've got to get a foothold in there.
	And here we are.
	What about...
	Do we toss...
	Well, I guess the whole gender thing, the transgender thing doesn't really matter in the military because they're just tossing them into joined groups.
	We didn't even do...
	Phys-ed with women.
	Co-ed physical education.
	No.
	It was an event once they merged the classes, and every guy was self-conscious because they put you in those little shorts and you have your thigh hair, and the women are taller than you at that point, and they're beating the tar out of the guys in the 8th grade.
	It's embarrassing.
	But that was an exception.
	Men's and women's basketball, men's and women's MMA and all that kind of stuff, but we want to put them on the same playing field for the front lines of the country there, so...
	Yeah.
	America.
	Right.
	So not in high school.
	I don't know.
	Is gym phys ed?
	Is phys ed entirely co-ed now in high school?
	Is that the rule?
	I would imagine it would have to be.
	I was homeschooled, so I mean, it was just kind of whatever we wanted.
	Yeah.
	I didn't exercise much, apparently.
	Well, your phys ed, sex ed, and music was all one and the same course because Jared learned to play the organ.
	We're going to let that sink in.
	Jared doesn't know what that means.
	I know what that means.
	Okay, we know what that means.
	I'm looking it up right now.
	Organ is an instrument.
	It also can be a bodily part.
	Oh.
	Good lord, dude.
	Like lungs.
	You are usually not on your game tonight.
	Fool this man!
	Fool!
	Send him your hatred.
	Deserved it.
	Well, I'm sad we lost Catherine, so we have this up at ladderwithcrader.com.
	Um...
	It's one of those situations where you go, okay, it's not about what's happening just today, right?
	What will happen two, three years down the line, four, five years down the line, once we have the numbers and it's too late?
	We already know that all mixed combat groups do much—they fare much more poorly than exclusively male.
	We know that.
	We know that beyond any shadow of a doubt.
	Let me put it this way.
	You want to know who I want in the military?
	I want a redneck, leather-faced, tobacco-chewing deer hunter who would be out there shooting something anyway, only you've replaced his hunting rifle with an M16 and that deer with a terrorist and given him a license to kill.
	Those are the people I want out there.
	Those are the people who are useful in the military.
	I don't want a blue-haired, unshaven feminist out there who's going to be looking for a lawsuit so she can make said skull-dipping redneck uncomfortable.
	I don't think it has a place in the military.
	Is it sexist?
	Ah, yeah.
	Let's go with that.
	Okay?
	Let's just go with that.
	Line it with Crowder.
	All right, we'll be back to talk Leo DiCaprio.
	And now it's time for your Dating Advice Minute with Bill Cosby.
	Thank you.
	Now this next letter comes to me from Munum in Sweden.
	And he writes, Mr.
	Cosby, I have recently immigrated to Sweden, but I find myself without a woman.
	There's a woman that I really want to take, but the only way I can have the relations with me As if I take it into my own hands and she is not necessarily a willing participant in the baloney bop boop bop!
	Mother!
	It sounds like you've got it under control!
	This has been your Dating Advice Minute with Bill Cosby.
	When it's time to party, we will party hard.
	We'll be right back.
	All right, we are glad to be back.
	And we lost, of course, Sergeant Catherine.
	Glad she was with us.
	We will have Gerald Morgan on next, talking about Islam.
	So before we get back to Islam, which we do want to talk about, Leonardo DiCaprio is in the news today.
	It's so sad because he's such a good actor.
	You kind of hate to hate him, but it makes it so easy.
	It's tempting.
	Kind of enjoyable.
	Yeah, I know.
	It is one of those things where you're like, gosh, can you just be good at what you do?
	And Leonardo DiCaprio is very good at what he does.
	Of course, he did steal that Oscar from a deserving black gentleman.
	Don't you forget that.
	And he talks today about how, not today, this week, he accused Republicans of being anti-science.
	This is his exact quote.
	We have it up here at lightedwithcredder.com.
	I have it on my computer in front of me anyway.
	We should not have a candidate, Leonardo DiCaprio says, who doesn't believe in modern science to be leading our country.
	Climate change is one of the most concerning issues facing all of humanity, and the United States needs to do its part.
	Alright, so we've written about Leonardo DiCaprio.
	Obviously there's the hypocrisy, right?
	The guy has six multi-million dollar mansions.
	If he wanted to, him and James Cameron, all these Hollywood people, they could lead the charge.
	Certainly more than even people in Congress.
	They have a lot of money.
	Instead, they use that money to buy cars and houses, and they fly around in private jets.
	In his defense, probably very expensive Tesla, you know, eco-friendly cars that no one else can afford but him.
	Wow, he's very nice.
	Teslas are nice cars, but you still can't do a road trip.
	The maximum mileage is about 250 miles.
	Yeah, there's room for you and a ham sandwich, so that kind of sucks.
	There's not a lot of room in Teslas?
	I don't think so.
	I think there are now.
	I think they're more luxury sedans.
	It's not like a Prius.
	That thing's like a shopping cart with a computer in it.
	That's true.
	And everyone who can't drive decided, I'm going to drive a Prius.
	So the obvious joke is that Leonardo DiCaprio is a hypocrite.
	We've touched on that.
	We get that.
	But anti-science.
	Leonardo DiCaprio is claiming that Republicans are anti-science.
	By the way, I'm sure the 30,000 scientists, several thousand of whom were climate scientists, were actually atmospheric scientists, which means I think the number we did the math was over 30 percent of atmospheric scientists proactively signed a petition saying not global warming, climate change was a fraud.
	That assumes that all of them are anti-science, right?
	It's not just Republicans.
	There are plenty of people who acknowledge some problems with climate change.
	Also, if you read the quote directly, we have it at ladderwithcreditor.com.
	Leonardo DiCaprio conflates weather with climate, which is an easy way to tell whether someone is a dumbass.
	So the obvious pitch is he's a hypocrite.
	But anti-science?
	All right, I'll tell you what.
	Leonardo DiCaprio, I will admit that Republicans are anti-science and say that you are much more of a scientific man the moment you admit that biological sex is binary.
	How about that?
	These people are telling us that we're anti-science?
	They believe that those penises or vaginas are a figment of your imagination.
	Right?
	These people are telling you that if you slap on some rubber breasts and walk on into the women's room, you don't even have to do the bottom half.
	You're a woman.
	I think they just live in a fake world too much, too often.
	They just don't know the difference anymore.
	Right.
	It just all kind of just bleeds and runs together.
	I don't know.
	These are the people who tell you that a six-month-old fetus is not a life.
	That a human being growing you with its own DNA, with its own central nervous system, with its own organs, that it's not a life.
	That it's merely a parasite.
	Right.
	They're telling you that these people don't want anyone in third world countries to have access to GMOs.
	They don't believe that GMOs have in any way helped enhance yields with food crops.
	They're going to tell Republicans they're anti-science because of one issue, climate change?
	It's just, what space-time warp did I fall into?
	Is Tim Curry going to come out dressed as a tranny?
	Where am I? What time warp did I fall into?
	I don't know, but if you see a rabbit with a clock, I think you're screwed.
	If you see a rabbit with a clock?
	Yeah.
	By the way, speaking of Leo DiCaprio, Johnny Depp, can we get off the hype train now?
	Have I been vindicated?
	I've been saying this for years.
	Everyone goes, Johnny Depp is brilliant.
	I go, no, he's not.
	People put on a bunch of makeup and he plays a creepy gay character.
	You know his agents call him and they say, hey, we got this new role for you.
	Mmm.
	Can I make it a creepy gay role?
	I don't know.
	Think about it.
	Pirate.
	Creepy gay pirate.
	Willy Wonka.
	Creepy gay Willy Wonka.
	Barber.
	Creepy gay barber.
	Mad Hatter.
	Creepy gay Mad Hatter.
	What was the recent one?
	I'm trying to think the most recent one that he did.
	He did the Black Mask one that was...
	Oh, that was fine.
	It was all kind of...
	It wasn't as bad.
	You know, you take away the makeup and stuff.
	He's alright.
	He's just not that great.
	But get him out of the creepy gay role, he never gets a nomination.
	Did you see Transcendence?
	That was a terrible movie.
	I didn't want to see Transcendence.
	I thought, you know, finally we got one, you know, it's not the creepy gay, pale-faced, you know, doofy role.
	And it just sucked.
	It was terrible.
	Well, I can imagine it was terrible.
	You have a horrible taste in movies.
	Well, it was the director-photographer who did all the Batman movies with Christopher Nolan.
	So I thought, ah, there's some hope here.
	This guy's learned from Christopher Nolan.
	You go to a film because of the director of photography...
	No, no.
	Well, I do sometimes.
	But this is his directing debut.
	Yeah.
	That movie.
	Yeah.
	Most of the time, directors of photography make horrible directors.
	Oh, we know that now.
	I know that now.
	No one told me before.
	Yeah.
	If anyone tells you, oh, he's a director of photography, we're really proud that he is helming this film.
	That means they couldn't find the real director and this guy said, I'll do it.
	So if they tell you, get excited.
	Everything that guy just says, bull****.
	Okay, it's not true.
	So, Johnny Depp, I feel vindicated about that now.
	I think everyone's sort of caught on.
	They're in on the gag.
	If there's not another Pirates of the Caribbean rolling around, you're just going to get The Rum Diaries or Transcendence.
	But Leonardo DiCaprio is a good actor.
	It's one of these things, they just say, well, Republicans are anti-science, and people just believe it.
	Listen, instead of just saying someone is anti-science, how about you prove climate change?
	Does Leonardo DiCaprio want to get on the stage and debate someone?
	No, he's not going to do that.
	He won't do that.
	He's not qualified to do that.
	So all he does is say that they're anti-science.
	Instead of arguing the points, you're just anti-science.
	And this is a guy, by the way, who believes that you can change your gender with some fake rubber bitties.
	So I just feel, I think, that it's getting tired.
	You think Republicans are anti-science if they deny, if they...
	Here's the thing.
	They're not even denying climate change.
	A lot of them, by the way.
	They're saying that they don't believe men, man, is the main cause of it.
	And they don't believe that it will have such catastrophic results that it's the most immediate threat facing our nation.
	And even if they did, they don't believe the United States could fix it.
	Because guess what?
	We're not the main emitters of carbon.
	You think China gives a rat's rear end?
	Oh, gosh.
	If we just raise the cost of everything to be green, they don't care.
	They're going to beat their kids in the Apple factory or have them making more Nikes.
	They don't care about the ozone layer.
	Carbon emissions.
	Is Joe Morgan coming on next?
	Uh, one more.
	Gerald Morgan.
	After this.
	Lotter with Crowder.
	Stay tuned.
	Stay tuned.
	This is a cat warning.
	There have been reports of human beings bringing pet cats into their household and as a result have experienced urinating and defecation in an unsanitary box, scratches, biting, and overall general dickish treatment towards their human counterparts.
	This has been a cat warning.
	You've found yourself at the junction where worlds meet.
	Politics.
	Civility.
	How about honesty in this country, folks?
	Entertainment.
	I don't like entertainment.
	And a whole bunch of other stuff.
	It's about having a healthy body image.
	You have a very unhealthy body.
	We are definitely going to get letters.
	You're listening to Talk Radio's Strangest Animal.
	You're a strange animal.
	That's what I know.
	You're getting louder with Crowder.
	But you're a strange animal.
	I got to follow.
	Oh, I'm in a speedy just as hell.
	All right, we are going to right this ship.
	Back in the third hour, producing with me in studio, as always, is Not Gay Jared.
	Follow him on Twitter, draw your own conclusions.
	I'm assuming we're good because we have to bring on our guest.
	We're good, not gay.
	We're ready to roll.
	Noted neurosurgeon, scholar, gentleman, rocket scientist.
	Gosh, he's just so smart.
	He's just very accomplished, but his area of expertise, outside of neurosurgery, it's more of a hobby.
	Is Islam, theology, religion.
	He studied them.
	He's a world traveler.
	He's been across the globe.
	Gerald Morgan, thank you for being with us, sir.
	It's a pleasure to be here, sir.
	Thank you.
	Actually, it sucks to be here.
	You know why it sucks to be here?
	Because I usually come on when idiots run amok in the world, and that has happened yet again.
	That's true.
	It's never like, hey, this has been a great week, Gerald.
	Come on, let's just have some fun.
	Talk about the new Ben& Jerry's flavor.
	No, anytime.
	Absolutely.
	Let's pontificate on gay Jared's not gayness.
	Yeah, hey, careful, careful, careful.
	I said not gayness.
	I could be legally liable.
	Anytime someone sees that Jared's going to be on the show...
	They're not thrilled.
	So, Gerald, you texted me this week after Belgium, Brussels.
	Yeah.
	And you said you were just like all caps, which is abnormal because Gerald is usually a more insightful gentleman.
	I'm a very tame texter.
	Yeah, caps lock is not the mark of an intellectual, generally speaking.
	More so the mark of an anti-Semite.
	But I digress.
	You said, what is it going to take for people to wake up?
	Yes.
	You don't always text me because there's so many Islamic attacks.
	What was it that got your goat so much about this?
	Could you imagine if he texted you after every single one?
	I would just never get anything done.
	Your phone would just never stop lining up.
	Well, like I said, that's why we don't talk about the ones in Turkey.
	It would just be going off like a Yahoo News alert.
	Yahoo News is still a thing.
	Yes, it's still a thing.
	So I think the thing that frustrated me the most is that I honestly thought to myself, go back to any of the conversations that we have had, that we have recorded, and just play that one again, and it'll explain it.
	Ah, here's another terrorist attack.
	Can't jump to conclusions about who did it or why.
	That would be bad of us.
	That would actually be racist.
	And I just, I don't know.
	Like, it's almost like it's the same kind of syndrome that drives Trump people.
	Nothing's going to make you change your mind about these people.
	No matter what they do, they can blow up every single airport, every single school, every single plane, and you're still going to go, meh, religion and peace.
	Yeah, I buy that.
	I'm in.
	Terrorism has no religion.
	Hashtag.
	Right.
	Yeah.
	Except it does, and it's Islam.
	So you think...
	I was talking about this with Brad Thor.
	I feel like there's been a shift, though, that most people now, in the general populace, there are more people now who are willing to address Islam for the problem that it is.
	You don't see the pendulum swinging that way?
	I see fanatics on the other side winning arguments, and that scares me just as much.
	Wait, you mean Muslims or leftists?
	No, leftists.
	Well, I don't even know what to call them, really.
	When people come out and say that we should ban Muslims from immigrating to this country, I think that's incredibly stupid.
	But I understand the sentiment.
	I guess you get a little frustrated at some point.
	But there are plenty of options in between here and there to make sure that we curtail radical Islam.
	And you and I have had great conversations about this.
	We know that Islam, as it is practiced, if you read your Koran, it's not a peaceful religion.
	But let's put all the people who don't know their Korans aside and focus on the 50 or so million in the world that do.
	And are radicalized.
	That's the number, by the way.
	And figure out a way to deal with them.
	You're saying radicalized.
	You mean active terrorists?
	Well, radicalized meaning that if you draw concentric circles out, the people that would actually carry out a terrorist attack, and then you go one more circle out that says maybe they're not willing to act, but they approve of that.
	Okay, because it's hundreds of millions who support Sharia law.
	Okay, so 50 million of people who are basically ISIS sympathizers.
	Yeah, when they see the attacks, they're like, I didn't do it, but yeah, get them.
	That kind of thing.
	That's different from the group that promotes Sharia law.
	They may not necessarily agree with the tactics to get there, but they agree with the end goal.
	Right.
	Okay.
	So 50 million.
	Okay, so sorry, I'm sorry.
	Go ahead and continue with your analogy.
	That's a lot of people.
	I don't know if you know, 50 million.
	Well, I mean, I'm trying to think how many more that is than the 16 at the Westboro Baptist, if you carry the one.
	About 50 million.
	Divide by five.
	50 million minus 16.
	Yeah, that's the easier way to do it.
	Well, I mean, that's the scary part to me.
	You and I, we understand when other people are right.
	When somebody says something that's actually correct that we disagree with typically, we're willing to say, yeah, hey, wait a minute, you can't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
	These guys are actually right on this.
	I hate everything else they say, but on this point they're correct.
	And I think that's what we're doing with Islam.
	These guys do have an agenda.
	There is a plot going on.
	There are precautions that we need to take, but that doesn't mean throwing everybody in an internment camp Like we did the Japanese.
	That was a horrible thing.
	And we shouldn't do anything like that.
	And that's what you hear.
	So when you say that it wasn't a terrible thing.
	Well, she said maybe it's for their own protection, probably.
	I don't know that that was true.
	And maybe it was to protect the country.
	But if we are not based on the principles and the core values that we were founded on, then we don't have a country.
	All we have is a reactionary state that's going to run to comfort no matter where we can find it.
	And that's Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, Donald Trump.
	Name every bad possibility that we've had.
	And that's what we've done.
	Post 9-11, when we started allowing the NSA and the FBI and the CIA and those guys to have a lot more freedom, they needed more, but they didn't need as much as they got.
	They started taking away freedoms that we should never have given up.
	I mean, it doesn't work.
	I don't know the official organization in Belgium, but from my understanding, I mean, this happened at an airport.
	This happened where we've taken every single precaution, not only nationally, but internationally, to ensure that it doesn't happen.
	It didn't happen at a Greyhound bus station in Flint, you know, where people were a little loopy from drinking some water in the port-a-potty.
	It happened at the airport in Brussels, the metro station.
	These are heavily secured areas, so...
	It doesn't work.
	My problem is if we're going to take security measures, like you said, maybe they need a little bit more.
	They didn't need the permission to spy on people, but it was done in a politically correct way that we all knew wouldn't be offensive.
	It didn't include profiling.
	It didn't include looking at religions.
	Listen, profile by religion, last name, and I don't know, maybe if they play cricket.
	I don't like cricket players.
	That's more Indian, but yeah.
	I have a theory.
	No, no, no.
	You're making it a racist thing.
	I'm not...
	I don't know why...
	What do you mean, you people?
	I was simply...
	What do you mean, you people?
	A sport that involves...
	No, it's an activity that can take several days.
	I don't trust you.
	You don't have enough going on in your life.
	That's what I said.
	This is true.
	Okay, go ahead.
	So here's what typically happens in the known universe.
	When people have a problem, the first thing that they do is say, hey, I wonder if anybody else has this problem.
	You find somebody else that has this problem.
	Is there anybody in the world that is hated more by Islamic countries than the Jews?
	No.
	Israel is hated more than anybody.
	Okay, so let's look at what Israel does and start to learn a few lessons there.
	You don't see the mass attacks like this in Israel.
	They don't play the game.
	They understand that there's an enemy, and sometimes that enemy looks like your neighbor.
	And you've got to be very, very careful how you deal with that thin line.
	Well, there are plenty of attacks, to be fair, in Israel.
	They're stabbing attacks.
	They're not mass attacks like airports being blown up, bus stations, things like that.
	They blow up buses occasionally.
	You will see some of that when the crossings.
	Obviously, there's nothing you can do about some of that.
	But you don't see these massive attacks like that because they profile.
	Oh, my gosh.
	That's terrible.
	You're just labeled as somebody who's insensitive.
	And I think that's the European culture that you're seeing that allows this kind of thing to go on.
	It's not that they weren't secured.
	It's impressive, too, because the last names over there and the beards, it's all much more similar.
	With Israel?
	With Israel and Palestine.
	So the profiling tactics, they've gotten pretty good at it.
	They're sharp.
	You put them in a lineup, I'm going to be honest, and I'm going to have a tough time telling someone from Tel Aviv from the Gaza Strip.
	It's going to be tough.
	It's not going to be an easy, it's not going to be a gimme round of one of these things that's not like the other.
	You're like, oh, I don't know.
	Yavka, there we go.
	We're good.
	We're good.
	Yes, exactly.
	Here's the lineup.
	Turn to your left.
	Turn to your right.
	Just turn around completely, please.
	Okay, there's the Jew.
	So, Jared took that.
	It took a little while.
	Next game on Slotter Counter, spot the Jew.
	Spot the Jew.
	We'll just have Ben Shapiro on and go, found him!
	Found him.
	A lot of people think I'm Jewish, right?
	I have a kinship because I get all kinds of anti-Semitic remarks.
	Okay, so, Joel, but that's true.
	But the thing is, in Israel, if you've ever taken a...
	You've been to Israel.
	No, unfortunately.
	Really?
	Oh, I know.
	I mean, you've been to Singapore, what, Malaysia?
	Indonesia, Cambodia, Vietnam.
	Yeah.
	So only the Asian place.
	The largest Islamic country in the world, by the way.
	Indonesia?
	Indonesia, yeah, the island of Sumatra.
	Yep.
	They can have good coffee.
	The Middle East has nothing on them, let's put it that way.
	You know, it's funny, it was always listed as one of the countries when I would talk about, well, show me some moderate Islamic countries.
	By the way, anyone out there, tweet me at S. Crowder, they would point to Indonesia, and both you and Naki Jarrett have been there.
	I'm sorry, I'm laughing.
	Purely anecdotal, but it's a scary place from the moment I landed off the ferry there.
	I mean, it's just like the presence of just like, it just feels thick and heavy and dark and kind of creepy.
	I don't know.
	Purely anecdotal.
	Well, the odor is there too, for sure.
	Don't get me wrong.
	It's not a racist thing.
	It's because of the country.
	They don't have, they're not advanced.
	Weird plants.
	Weird plants.
	I feel like everything there is a little bit weird.
	They also have the really expensive coffee.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, they do.
	But you don't know anything about that because you don't drink coffee.
	I'm very proud of that.
	Badge of honor.
	I'll wear it.
	Okay.
	Well, let's just keep Gerald on for a few seconds because I want to talk about Indonesia because a lot of people use that, Gerald.
	And then we can come back to Europe.
	I think Morocco, Indonesia, UAE are what they point to.
	UAE is really, really easy.
	I think you did a video on that, right?
	We did do a video on the UAE. Morocco, I guess, is kind of inconsequential, but there's still a lot of stuff.
	Listen, if you're going to hold the standard that you hold for Republicans in the United States when you accuse them of hate speech, let's just hold it to that same standard.
	By that standard, Morocco is filled with Nazis.
	Also, it might be filled with Nazis.
	I just don't know Morocco that well.
	Gerald Morgan will bring you back, talk more about Islam, And, gosh, you know what?
	I haven't scanned this office for bombs in a while.
	Not gay, Jared.
	Let's take this break and make the most of it.
	It's a good call.
	Good call.
	Ladder with Crowder.
	We'll be right back.
	This is John Kasich's Ask Me Anything, and I approve this message.
	All right, now time to take some questions regarding some issues that concern real Americans.
	We need real solutions.
	Yes, you, sir, over there.
	Yeah, first question, Governor Kasich.
	Why do you think it is that the perception in American politics, as polarized as it is, is still that you're a piece of ****?
	Now, doesn't anyone want to ask me about foreign policy or...
	Well, we'll get to that, but this is an important one to start off with.
	Well, I don't know that I believe that's the case.
	It is the case.
	I have a Wall Street Journal poll right here.
	Well, no, the newest poll is Quinnipediac.
	No, Wall Street Journal has actually been running a live poll while doing this conference, and now 97.6% of Americans think that you are in fact a piece of s**t.
	Are you sure about that?
	Yes, it says 200,000 responses, uh, who checked the box, piece of human s***.
	Well, who's running these polls?
	Stay tuned for more of John Kasich's Ask Me Anything.
	I'm John Kasich, and I approve this message.
	I'm John Kasich.
	I'm ticking off the social justice warriors.
	You should see the amount of hate I get on there.
	Far, far, far worse than any Fat Sports Illustrated model or Black Lives Matter charlatan.
	So listen, it's free.
	You get to be entertained and you can chime in.
	Also, if you're following me on Twitter, you can send me your tweets and maybe you'll be lucky enough.
	And I mean lucky enough because I have a lot of followers, okay, that they call me the follower machine to have your tweet to me or not gay, Jared, included in our rockinest tweet of the week.
	So follow me on Twitter at S. Crowder.
	If not, I don't want to say I have sights on your mother, but...
	Oh, she's dead?
	You're just saying that because I made a mom joke.
	No, she's really dead?
	well, you kind of walked into it.
	I'm going to do the things that I want to do.
	I ain't got a thing to prove to you.
	I ain't going to wear the clothes that you're lying.
	I don't give a hood about what you think.
	Hey, by the way, before we go back to our guest, honor Gary Shandling, actually, a comedian who passed away this week.
	Very sad, very funny guy.
	Larry Sanders was a monumentally influential show on American television.
	If you liked The Office, if you liked Curb Your Enthusiasm, Parks and Rec, any of those single-camera sitcoms, You owe a lot to Gary Shandling, and I always thought he was funny.
	He was a big influence on me as a child, and one of the few people I could listen to.
	We are back with Gerald Morgan.
	I wanted to say one quick thing.
	During the break, my wife texted me.
	Wife number one, by the way.
	She's been to Morocco, and she got groped several times.
	And she was with her group.
	She did a semester abroad when she was in college.
	She got groped.
	She said it was really, really actually not a very safe place.
	That's entirely anecdotal.
	Gerald Morgan, you're back.
	Let's talk about Indonesia.
	Yes, Stephen.
	Indonesia.
	Why are you talking this way?
	I'm just playing.
	Sorry.
	We don't bring you on to play.
	This is a serious program and you're a serious guest.
	Yes, absolutely.
	Have some self-respect, sir.
	I have very, very little, but it's mostly your fault.
	Okay, go ahead.
	So Indonesia is a very interesting country.
	I spent, I don't know, probably about a week in Indonesia, somewhere right around there.
	And, I mean, you want to look at a country that is incredibly oppressive.
	There's about 203 or 4 million people that identify as Muslim.
	Most of it's Sunni.
	And then you've got some concentration of Shia.
	What's your language with the FCC, sir?
	That's true.
	It's very oppressive, very dark, very, I don't know, very backwards as far as economics are concerned.
	And I'm not dogging anybody's culture.
	They can do whatever they want to do.
	But, I mean, there were fires raging everywhere.
	It really felt like the armpit of the universe for me.
	And I was out in the country, so I get it that it may be different in cities, and I'm not dogging anybody from Indonesia.
	Perfectly fine human beings, I'm sure.
	Well, those fires you saw were churches.
	Well, yes.
	There were more church burnings than there.
	There were mostly Bibles that were being burned to make sure.
	Why do you – because you've heard this, right?
	I mean, they point – I wonder if they point to Indonesia because Barack Obama was raised there and so they feel the need to whitewash it.
	But you've taught, obviously, on Islam and kind of comparing to Christianity.
	Yeah.
	I've certainly encountered it in politics.
	I don't know if you've encountered it where, you know, in your milieu, people have always pointed to Indonesia as an example for moderate Islam.
	When I say, name me one, invariably it comes back, for a while they tried to argue UAE, or Egypt, or Turkey, and not so much anymore, and now they always say Indonesia, Malaysia, or Morocco.
	Why is that, if this is the case?
	It's because no one's been there.
	You just name a place, it's like, ah, nobody's been there.
	My life sucks!
	I really do think that's the one thing, the ingredient.
	I mean, people go to Malaysia.
	I went to Kuala Lumpur and spent just basically the night, went downtown.
	It was really cool.
	Cool buildings.
	Yes, very tall, very tall buildings.
	It was interesting, but you basically have...
	Hold on, was that our obligatory praise for Malaysia?
	That was it.
	I'm just trying to fill my duty as a co-host.
	Before we rip into it, cool buildings, though.
	Cool buildings, really cool.
	They kind of connect to the top.
	I had a good kebab.
	Great insight, Nagi, Jared.
	Great insight.
	He's not the best color man in the business for no reason.
	So Malaysia, you were there.
	Sorry, go ahead.
	Continue.
	So I spent just a little bit of time there, and Malaysia is one of those countries that says it's Islamic or Muslim, but isn't practicing it quite as much.
	And so you don't...
	It's more of a cultural thing than it is a religious thing, and that's where you really have to draw the line.
	There are tons of countries out there that say that they're Christian, you know, United States, and we don't act like it for the most part.
	Most people don't know what that means.
	So you could tell them something from the book of Psalms, and they'd be like, yeah, I agree with that.
	You're like, that's not in the Bible at all.
	And they wouldn't know.
	So you got to understand that's kind of what you're talking about.
	When you get to a place like Indonesia, they practice their religion a lot more.
	It's a much more ingrained part of their life.
	And so you start to see some of the oppression.
	For example, when we were out in public, the guys that I was with had been there.
	They said, hey, when you bless the meal, right, just a normal kind of thing, do it with your eyes open.
	We don't want anybody to see that we're praying.
	Because that's a marker.
	You know, you're a white guy in their country praying.
	You're probably not a Muslim.
	You're most likely a Christian there to do that kind of thing proselytizing.
	Just tell them you're Cat Stevens' brother.
	I don't know that they would know.
	Say, yeah, I'm Cat Stevens slash Yusuf, Islam's brother.
	And listen, when I get some downtime, let's go kill Salman Rushdie.
	You'll blend right in.
	They would be all for it.
	It's an easy sell to blend in, Gerald.
	I'm taller than a lot of the people, so it wasn't an easy sell in most of those countries.
	Well, you're taller than most people here in the United States.
	You're tall for a Viking.
	You're certainly tall, I would imagine, in Malaysia.
	I stood out, no pun intended.
	Okay, I see.
	Don't try and take over my job.
	Oh, sorry.
	You're the smart guy.
	I'm the foil.
	Yes, my apologies.
	Okay, so that's Indonesia.
	Well, hold on.
	Are we done talking about Indonesia?
	Do you have any specifics, or did we want to go back to Islam as a whole?
	Well, let me just say this.
	The further you travel east, I'm sorry, west in Indonesia, so the island of Sumatra, You're going to get more kind of fanatical kind of people there.
	The more that you kind of travel to the east a little bit, it gets a little less, a little less, a little less, and then way east is almost like Christian.
	Really?
	Yeah, so different islands.
	So these guys are not one blob of people, really.
	Right.
	Different groups of people separated, obviously, by islands that are in islands.
	I'm surprised about Sumatra, though, because, you know, all that fair trade coffee comes from Sumatra.
	I don't think it can be fair if there are radical Islamists selling it to you.
	You realize there's one little patch of little hipsters with mustaches and bow ties, and they're just...
	Breaking in the coffee.
	Being beaten at night.
	It happens.
	They were tourists at once.
	Got captured.
	The rest is history.
	And great coffee.
	Now they're making Starbucks holiday dark roast.
	And there's no out clause in their contract.
	I didn't know that about Sumatra.
	I didn't know that that would have been more...
	So if you go toward like Bali...
	Yeah, so you get a little bit more traditional Islam and the southern tip of the island of Sumatra, then head a little bit more east, still traditional.
	But the further east you get, it actually, yeah, stop it.
	It starts to get a little bit more actually Protestant Catholicisms in there.
	It just depends.
	How is that allowed if you can't pray at a table?
	Well, it's a different island, and so it's really hard to enforce rules if most of the people don't care on that island.
	Okay, well that makes sense, but I'm sure it's probably not necessarily entirely legal for them to practice their faith freely.
	No, no, no.
	No, no, no, no.
	It sounds so innocent.
	We are talking legalities, sir.
	Right.
	No, we are talking about under Islamic government.
	50 million people, ISIS sympathizers, hundreds of millions of people.
	Ben Shapiro's talked about that.
	We've done a video on that.
	People who believe you should die if you leave the faith.
	So let's not whitewash us.
	Gerald Morgan will be back with us after this break.
	break.
	Stay tuned.
	Steven Crowder here.
	Hey, Jared, what are you doing?
	I'm just having trouble getting through this book.
	That's because you can't read.
	I know.
	You should have used Freedom Project Academy.
	Freedom what?
	Yeah, Freedom Project Academy.
	Just go to FPEUSA.org.
	It's a fully accredited private online school, no Common Core, and absolutely no government funding whatsoever.
	All the classes are taught live online, kindergarten through high school, with real teachers based around the country.
	So through Freedom Project's classical curriculum, students master the basics like math, English, history, science, alongside some more commonly neglected courses like logic.
	You're not getting that in a lot of schools.
	Economics, American Studies, and Latin, all of which foster the long-lost art of critical thinking and create leaders for tomorrow.
	All classes are recorded to be viewed 24-7, and you can get your very own sneak peek of any class or professor at fpeusa.org.
	Open enrollment runs March through July, but classes always fill up fast.
	Now, do you have your GED equivalency, Jared?
	No.
	Is that important?
	I think so.
	I mean, you might want to give them a call.
	That's FreedomProjectAcademy at FPEUSA.org.
	I'm Bernie Sanders, and I approve this message.
	In my travels across this country, I hear too many stories from Americans whom the system has failed.
	Thank you so much, Mr.
	Sanders.
	I love what you do so much.
	I was walking to my friend's house, and I fell on the sidewalk, and there was this guy there, and I accidentally fell in the sky, and his penis went inside of me, and so I got pregnant, and this mean Republican in my state wouldn't let me get a late-term abortion, and so now I'm pregnant, and I need you to pay for it!
	In a Bernie Sanders presidency, these Americans will be heard, and Bernie Sanders will help them.
	Not good enough, America!
	All right, I am glad to I am glad to be back.
	with you.
	Back with Gerald Morgan.
	We got some tweets.
	Some people apparently think I've missed facts regarding the Ted Cruz Donald Trump wife debacle.
	Please tell me which facts I've missed.
	If you believe that those facts are Ted Cruz started it, you are an idiot.
	Gerald, are you with us?
	I am here, sir.
	Have you been paying attention to that, by the way?
	The picture?
	Yeah, well, which one?
	Yeah, the Donald Trump basically pointing out Ted Cruz's wife as uglier than his wife was kind of his thing.
	Yeah, well, she also is real, probably hasn't slept around with a lot of people or posed nude in any way.
	I don't care if Trump's wife does that.
	It's just, you know, then that's, I guess, fair game.
	But I don't know.
	You don't bring that in.
	He doesn't exactly have a character person standing next to him in these photos.
	Why would you ever pick a fight?
	He would claim that Ted Cruz did because some Pac-Man associated with him ran an ad about Melania's self-nude portrait as an ad.
	Oh, I think she took the picture, right?
	And she let it get out there.
	She didn't take the picture.
	The picture was taken?
	Yeah, she laid naked for the picture, which is a skill.
	Unfortunately, it is also a perishable skill.
	And that's when Donald Trump trades you in.
	Typically.
	Yes, typically.
	It's like riding a bicycle.
	If you don't pose naked every day, you forget it and you kind of have to pick it back up.
	It's a perishable skill, like anything else.
	So we were talking about Indonesia before we went...
	So let's come back to Islam, not only Indonesia.
	I mean, what would be, before we go to Europe here, because I want to get to that, what would be the single most moderate Islamic country, Gerald?
	You would know better than I would.
	I've searched high and low.
	Maybe there's something I miss.
	If you had to pick one and say the most, what do you think it would be?
	That's a pretty tough question.
	You want to look for one that's probably more economically viable, not oil-based, but just overall economics are pretty good, because then people tend to run away from these exclusive ideologies that lead to terror.
	So if you look at, say...
	A Vietnam or a China or something like that, and we had to fight with communism.
	Of course, communism still reigns in some of those places, but as economics go in and start to change the country, the country starts to change because they're like, wait a minute, this is stupid.
	Are you trying to push this business that if you just give terrorists jobs, they'll stop losing?
	No, no, no, no, not at all.
	Jobs for jihadis.
	Jobs for jihadis?
	It's a make-work job.
	It doesn't build roads out in the desert.
	I don't think that that's true at all.
	I think the point there is that people with a lot of time on their hands typically do stupid things, and I understand that's a valid point.
	You have to give that.
	But that does not excuse or validate what they're doing.
	I would say something like Morocco, probably.
	I think Turkey in parts has been, and in parts has been horrible.
	So it just depends.
	It really does.
	Well, give it five years, and we could probably all say agree on Germany.
	We're getting there.
	Disregard the rape.
	Of course.
	We'll disregard that, but that's still moderately healthy behavior for a lot of them.
	In German?
	That's progress.
	Well, listen, you can't hold them accountable if a woman goes out in anything short of a parka and a ninja suit.
	What choice did he have?
	Okay, so you're up.
	With a bit of sin not to.
	They wouldn't make it one second in Texas, my friend.
	One second.
	No, they wouldn't make it one second in Texas.
	Okay, so we go to Europe, right?
	And I was talking about this.
	Europe has been on this appeasement path for a very long time, places like Belgium, right?
	I'm running a column right now.
	It should be up tomorrow.
	I'm glad that Europe kind of hates the United States.
	I feel like we're at a point right now, kind of like I've been vindicated on Johnny Depp, where the United States has been vindicated.
	Where we say, no, it's not really about our interventionism.
	These people want to kill you regardless.
	And they go, no, no, no, we're going to be tolerant.
	We don't think that's going to work out.
	And everyone said they hated us, that we were arrogant, that we were trying to be too strong, and that if we weren't involved in these countries, like them, they would be safe.
	And now Europe has a much bigger terrorism problem than the United States.
	Do you think we're at a point where it's like, okay, we've seen what happens.
	The United States was right.
	We are in an unfortunate position of having to say, I told you so.
	I don't think anybody wants to be in the position of seeing somebody else make the wrong choice there, but you've seen over and over again in France, in England, obviously we've seen stuff all over the place.
	Spain has had problems as well.
	Dearborn.
	So a lot of places have just said, you know, let's be nice, let's be accommodating, and there's a certain amount of that that's okay, but the problem is that if you don't recognize that there is a legitimate enemy that wants to see you destroyed, you can never react appropriately to that.
	And by saying that every person that comes in deserves an equal chance at having citizenship or having some rights in your country, it's just not the way things should or really will work out in the real world.
	In fact, you're gonna see more and more and more of this stuff happen Over there, we happen to have a little bit of distance, and that helps us a lot.
	But at the same time, when we say things like, yeah, we want to take in 10,000, 15,000, whatever the numbers are of these people who are refugees, and my heart goes out to them.
	Don't get me wrong.
	But at the same time, you have to make sure that you protect the people that are citizens of your country in Europe and here.
	Well, even on CNN, they were talking about now leftist CNN is saying, here's why Europe has a bigger terrorism problem than the United States.
	And they went through a bullet point.
	A big reason was open borders closer to Syria that the United States doesn't have.
	But let's go on down the logic trail.
	It's not that hard for a migrant to hitch a ride to Mexico and just cross on over a non-wall.
	So we need to be realistic that that's something that needs to be done.
	And it's not racist.
	It does come down to national security.
	It does.
	And honestly, that's the bigger thing for me.
	I know there's a lot of crazy Ann Coulter followers out there who, I'm sorry, she's just gone off the deep end for me.
	I don't know what happened to her.
	Maybe she was always there and she just didn't tell us.
	But, you know, build the wall and that's it.
	She's a single voter or single issue voter.
	I'm more worried about somebody coming across the border, as porous as it is, with some kind of explosive, some kind of weapons to be able to fund a cell, basically, or to arm a cell, than I am about somebody coming across and taking a job.
	I get that that's an important issue as well, but they just don't rank as the same priority for me.
	And so I do want border security, and I think it takes care of both issues.
	But my main concern is not being blown up.
	Right, not necessarily finding a job.
	Well, most of that stuff to blow up can be found at Home Depot.
	All you need is the right person in the will to make it.
	I mean, for a lot of these things...
	Well, look in Europe.
	Look at all these mass...
	You know, they don't include these in gun violence, all these mass bombings, right?
	They're not included.
	When the leftists, they try and compare gun crime or violent crime.
	They exclude the Islamic countries because, well, the United States has more gun crime than the rest of the modernized world.
	Not even modernized world.
	They use some UN list of developed worlds.
	So Japan and South Korea, those places aren't even in there when they use suicide or gun crime rates.
	So they don't include Islam there, but then they want to include Islam when they want to say, hey, it's not backwards.
	Let's be tolerant.
	They want to have it both ways.
	They don't have guns.
	They just blew stuff up.
	It's like a bat belt.
	Instead of shark repellent, it's anti-Christian jihad bombs that go off.
	It's not that hard to build.
	Let me zone in on something here, Gerald, because today you're being very diplomatic about it.
	So you're talking about acknowledging evil, right?
	Acknowledging an enemy.
	You can talk about ISIS, or you could have talked about al-Qaeda.
	There's always going to be a new group.
	You know the Quran.
	You know Muhammad.
	Islam.
	Islam the religion.
	Islam the ideology.
	At its root, is it evil?
	Absolutely.
	I don't think there's any question to this.
	At the root of it, it's absolutely evil.
	When Muhammad was in the cave, he said a dark spirit grabbed him and said, recite.
	When's the last time an angel of light did that?
	Like, I don't understand.
	And he actually came back to his wife and said, hey, this really crazy thing just happened to me.
	I think it was a demon.
	And she's like, no, no, no.
	I think it was God.
	Why don't you go back?
	I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
	Exactly.
	I don't understand it, Stephen.
	What kind of terrible wife tells him to go back?
	That wife is clearly up to no good, trying to whack.
	She was looking for a new husband, I think.
	Exactly.
	She was looking for the trade-in.
	I'm going to get lots of tweets on this.
	I'm sorry, guys.
	Truth is truth.
	I mean, you want to read the history, it's there.
	I'm not making this stuff up.
	Well, it's important to note, we have a lot of atheists, too, obviously.
	Listen, if you're an atheist, right, and somebody comes to you and says, I believe I saw an angel.
	Oh, what did I tell you?
	Oh, he told me to be good and to love everyone.
	Or, oh, he told me it brings me tidings of great joy.
	Even if you're an atheist, that's very different than someone else.
	Hey, I think I just spoke with Satan and I'm supposed to kill people.
	Right?
	Let's just talk about it from a pragmatic standpoint.
	Are you an Uber driver?
	Yeah.
	But I'm going to cloak it in this thing called a religion of peace.
	It means submission.
	Right.
	Yeah, well, I think that's important for people to know because they try and say, like, here's the thing.
	You can believe it's all a fairy tale, right?
	But people have done some really crazy stuff in just being inspired through stories or being inspired by lies.
	It doesn't matter if God doesn't exist.
	To someone who's purely talking about their own personal security in the earthly sense.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	I mean, it really has no bearing on the situation.
	You have to deal with the reality that you're faced with.
	And the reality is that there are a lot of people, not every Muslim person feels this way, but I would argue it's because they haven't read their Quran very well, and they don't understand that the book that they say is their holy book.
	And you can read it.
	It's in black and white.
	There is no question about it.
	It's not an interpretation issue at all.
	And the game changer, and I was talking to one of my clients tonight, the game changer, the thing that we don't understand, Is that people that are willing to die to take out someone are unstoppable.
	If you're willing to die, if you're willing to trade your life for theirs, you cannot stop that from a security standpoint.
	Ask the Secret Service.
	Somebody who's willing to go out and try something drastic like that, they have a very high chance of success.
	It's a dangerous thing.
	And most people don't understand why Islam does that.
	They think they're just so oppressed and so worried about their future that they're willing to die, and that's not it at all.
	No.
	The only way you're guaranteed to go to heaven, the only way is to die in jihad.
	That you're guaranteed.
	Yeah, exactly.
	Well, it's like fighting Tyler Durden.
	He wants to bleed all, you don't know where I've been!
	That's the Islamic jihad.
	They want to get beat up.
	They're punching themselves in the parking lot.
	And that's interesting that you say that.
	I remember when I was younger, I said, well, these are the most devout Muslims, right?
	These are the people who claim to be, who are waging these jihads.
	They're flying planes in the buildings.
	And almost all of them are drinking and going to strip clubs.
	And I have Muslim friends who don't do that.
	You know why?
	Because it's a free pass.
	They have a whole pass on that because they're about to go into jihad.
	Almost universally, all of these people who do these suicide bombings, they have their Mardi Gras beforehand.
	And they're just, you know, they're looking up ankle pornography.
	They haven't seen them in a while.
	These people need ankle pornography.
	You know, they go to strip clubs.
	Right, yeah.
	They're not laying out their prayer rug at that point, like, praying five times a day.
	I'm going to the Spearmint Rhino.
	I've got a free pass to the big guy, as long as I take out a few white folk with me.
	I think a lot of people miss that, and I think when you combine, listen.
	Yeah, they don't know that.
	People who believe that it's okay to marry a nine-year-old Whether she wants to or not, consummate it when she's nine.
	People who believe this, people who believe that women need four witnesses if they've been raped to prove it, these people who believe those values are willing to die for them.
	The combination is something that you've never seen in any enemies of war in modern history.
	And I think that's a shocker if people actually knew.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	And if you look at Christians, you're right.
	We are told to be kind to one another.
	We don't always do a great job of that, so sometimes we're our own worst enemies.
	But our deal is believe in Jesus as the Messiah, right?
	We're in Easter season right now.
	We've got Good Friday tomorrow.
	Believe that he died, rose again for our sins, and ascended to heaven is who he said he was.
	And you're in.
	There is no other stuff here.
	There's no more things that need to be done.
	Obviously, it should change your life if you truly do believe that.
	But in Islam, you can be the most devout Muslim, and you can take care of everything that you're supposed to do.
	And at the end of the day, if you don't die in jihad, it's basically up to the mood of God.
	Allah, in their vernacular, right?
	It's up to his mood whether you get it or not.
	Stephen, that would be terrifying to me.
	If I actually believed in a heaven and a hell, that would be absolutely terrifying for me.
	Because I would never know.
	He would hate Tuesdays, that's for sure.
	Yes, he would absolutely hate Tuesdays.
	The 72 virgins are not necessarily guaranteed to be female, not gay.
	Although technically you could dress him up as one.
	Wow, yeah.
	My mood would be underwiser.
	Androgynous, not gay Jared in the afterlife.
	This is true.
	All right, Gerald, we have to let you go.
	People can follow you at G. Morgan Jr., right?
	G. Morgan Jr., yes, sir.
	All right, well, we will bring you again when there's another tragedy, and everyone will want to swallow a knife, but we appreciate you informing us, sir.
	Absolutely.
	Have a good night.
	Thank you, Liderworth Crowder.
	Crowder, we'll be back to wrap this all up for you.
	We'll be right back.
	- Breaking news on the Lower Will Crawler.
	I'm Perry Matheson.
	We now take you live to the historic meeting of President Barack Obama and Raul Castro in Cuba.
	Uh...
	No...
	No, where am I? Hey, Barack!
	He's up, you guys!
	Hey, you took a bad fall!
	What happened?
	I don't know.
	I think your blood sugar got low or something.
	Oh, my backside hurt.
	Yeah, it was a rough one.
	Now, why am I hooked up to this colostomy bag?
	I don't know.
	I think you have IBS or something.
	You might want to get it checked out.
	Hey!
	Could you give me a small favor, Barack?
	I guess so.
	Okay, I just need you to sign this, taking Cuba off the official list of funders of terrorism.
	You know, we don't need that kind of piano.
	We're going to be friends.
	Maybe I should have someone else look at us before I sign anything.
	Okay, of course.
	Well, you need to call your wife.
	You took a phone.
	You didn't have your phones cut off.
	You know, come on.
	I just need you to sign it for just me.
	It's Raul.
	Oh.
	Alright, I'll sign it.
	An initial here.
	And we need you to take a picture with serial mass-murdering racist Che Guevara.
	Just for PR. Che Guevara?
	I don't know about that.
	You get a free ticket!
	Sold!
	We'll keep you updated as this historic event unfolds.
	On Waller with Crowler, I'm Perry Matheson.
	We'll be right back.
	On Waller with Crowler, I'm Perry Matheson.
	Not Gay Jared just lost his headphones.
	He got a little rambunctious in the dancing.
	You did, Not Gay Jared.
	It was a good dance.
	I think I'm worked out for the week here.
	It's a good song.
	I can avoid the gym for a whole other week now, which is fantastic.
	Four months.
	So, you know what?
	We should do rockin' a tweet of the show.
	We'll do it next week.
	We'll bring back some more of the games next week.
	I've been traveling a lot, so we don't have as much of the tech stuff set up for you, but we had some great guests.
	A lot we were talking about.
	We covered Leo DiCaprio.
	Brussels happened this week.
	Nigeria happened at the time of this program.
	We don't know a whole lot, so I try and avoid talking about things on air when we don't know much yet.
	Again, because we have the luxury of doing a once-a-week show, and we can actually be more informed if we discuss it, as opposed to simply going on and rambling about something when you have no clue.
	Though five bucks says Islam.
	Yeah, I'm going to...
	So you're telling me there's a chance.
	A hundred percent.
	A hundred percent.
	Oh, it's a hundred percent.
	You should go more than five bucks.
	That's all I got.
	That's all you paid me this week.
	That's all I paid you this week.
	Well, there was the Cheetos.
	There was the Frito-Lays.
	Yeah, we don't know a lot about it, but of course you can bet.
	And I know that Samuel Jackson is praying it's a white guy.
	Nigeria, I wouldn't bet the house there, Sammy.
	One thing that is important, and we were talking about this, and I received some emails and tweets today.
	Why do you think the left joins up with Islam so much when all of their values fly in the face of things that leftists claim they support?
	I think it comes down to control.
	I think there are a lot of people out there who don't know, a lot of Bernie people, a lot of Hillary people, a lot of people out there who aren't malicious, who bought into the lie, right?
	They think they want to be tolerant.
	Many people probably believe genuinely that Christian conservative Republicans are more of a problem than Islam.
	There are a lot of people out there who have bought that.
	And I blame them for not being educated, but I don't think they're malicious.
	Then there are people like Hillary Clinton.
	Then there are people like Bernie Sanders, like Barack Obama.
	Obviously, they know better.
	They've had their Homeland Security briefings.
	Obviously, they understand the evil that is straight from the pit of hell or whatever you believe that is Islam.
	But for political expediency, they have to keep their constituency in the dark.
	So there are two groups of people, and you need to know that there are people who can be convinced.
	People who just don't know, you can read them a few verses from the Quran.
	You can send them some of our videos, or Ben Shapiro's videos.
	Our videos are designed to be digestible, and we source them at ladderwithcredit.com in 30, 40.
	We have some videos with an incredible amount of references, which of course doesn't matter.
	People just say we're lying because we're paid by the Koch brothers.
	Those guys are handy when you want a paycheck.
	Those Koch brothers are handy when you check.
	Funding your Twitter and stuff.
	I had to stop wearing my Koch brothers Flava Flav clock with the big K because it was kind of a dead giveaway.
	But I think it comes down to control.
	And Islam is a big system of control.
	Leftists want control.
	And the way to control people is to...
	What's the easiest way to control people?
	Obviously you can get into the physical, taking firearms away from a populist, but before people, I'm not saying that all liberals are like Hitler, before any regime, whether it's Hitler, whether it's Mao, whether it's Stalin, this is why the First Amendment is so important, right?
	We're not just talking about the ability to protect yourself with the Second Amendment.
	The first thing they do, and the thing they secure more than anything else, is controlling information.
	That's why Cuba doesn't have a free press.
	Or Venezuela.
	Of course, I don't think Nazi Germany had a free press.
	North Korea is just booming with free press.
	A huge blogosphere.
	Yahoo News is huge over there.
	You don't realize that, but it's huge.
	In North Korea.
	Yeah, we're banned in Islamic countries.
	People on military bases, they were saying depending on which Wi-Fi they're using, they can't get on.
	So I do think it comes down to control.
	Otherwise, it's unjustifiable.
	It's unjust.
	There's no way for the two to mesh.
	Progressivism, liberalism, whatever you want to call it, and Islam.
	Here's something else I think that is important.
	Listen, I'm generally a non-interventionist.
	Like I said, I think the main point should be if we go into a country, you go in to win, you kill their leaders, you break stuff, you end it.
	That's what I think.
	If the United States is going in, you go in.
	If you're in a fight, you're in the fight at that point.
	Otherwise, don't do it.
	So yeah, I think the United States needs to be selfish when it comes to that.
	What I do hope people take into consideration, though, is the lie that the United States is this evil empire.
	We're just going over there.
	We're nation building and this is bullcrap.
	The United States is the biggest empire there is.
	We have an article up at ladderwithcrader.com.
	Let me explain to you.
	You obviously know ISIS, where they burn people alive in cages, where they rip people's heads off, where they cut their tongues out of their body while they're alive and they cut their eyes out and their arms and their legs.
	In North Korea, the level to which they brutalize Christian dissidents is unbelievable.
	From public humiliation to just wood chips up the thumbs.
	Seesaw abortions, forced abortions.
	For those of you who don't know what it is in North Korea, seesaw abortion.
	If you have children listening, I would advise you cover their ears or turn down the radio right now.
	This happens in North Korean prison camps.
	Just because you want to say, well, listen, the United States has no business there.
	Maybe.
	But let's not act like there's a moral equivalency.
	They will take a pregnant woman, of course, if you're a Christian, and put a board on her and people will do a seesaw on the pregnant woman until there's a forced abortion.
	Really, really evil stuff that they have to proactively think about.
	And let me tell you something.
	That woman getting a forced abortion in a North Korean prison camp, her only hope is seeing American troops coming over that hill.
	She's not waiting on the British.
	She's not waiting on the Turkish.
	She's not waiting on the French.
	Her only hope in life is that the United States decide enough is enough.
	Am I saying that makes it the United States job?
	No, I'm not.
	But I'm saying you need to understand it from their perspective before you start vilifying American troops and conservative Americans who believe that we have power and great responsibility.
	That man being burned alive in a cage by ISIS? His only hope, his only prayer, is American Air Force jets or Navy jets coming over and dropping an ungodly firestorm on these terrorist, evil, horrendous bags of human scum.
	That's their only hope.
	So you need to understand this.
	I'm not saying it's our job.
	But when we go off and act as though the United States is taking their oil, let's put this into context.
	These people are facing brutal torture, oppressive regimes.
	They have no rights.
	Those people, guarantee, you ask them, what do you want to see?
	It would be, be rescued by the Americans.
	It's their only hope.
	Because we're the only ones who can do it.
	Does it mean it's our job?
	No.
	But there is some responsibility that comes with being a country, the only country who's had its crap together for decades.
	Let's put that into context next time someone tries to act as though the United States is no better than ISIS. And send them an article.
	Light it with Crowder.
	We'll see you next week.
