	BABY KING
	It's June!
	which marks Louder with Crowder's second annual Cultural Appropriation Month, where we learn and appreciate all the great cultures this globe has to offer.
	This week, we travel to the ancient, honorable, if sadistic culture of Japan.
	Music Alright, glad to be with you.
	That is Cultural Appropriation Month.
	By the way, sake is terrible.
	It is awful.
	Because anybody knew, I don't want to vilify an entire nation's beverage of choice.
	That deserves to just die with Kamikaze.
	It sucks, but have another sip.
	We are going to take a wine.
	Yes.
	And hold it a little beverage.
	Yeah.
	Make a taste of rankin' shit.
	Producing in the in-video studio as always is Jared, who is not gay.
	You sure?
	Sailor Jared today.
	You can leave him your tweets at NotGayJarred on Twitter or me at S.Craddle with your comments, your thoughts, I fulfill my legal obligations, your own conclusions.
	You good?
	I'm not even convinced about anything anymore.
	No.
	Who knows what the topsy-turvy world will live in.
	At G.Morgan Jr., how are you, sir?
	I don't know what that is.
	It's like Ryu over here.
	It's like Ryu in the short bus.
	Yeah.
	Ryu doesn't even look like Ryu.
	Ryu has brown hair.
	Oh, that's awesome.
	And then Ken with the blonde hair.
	I got my headphones all hung up here.
	Hey, by the way, we have Governor Mike Huckabee on the show today.
	And then Anne McElhinney on the show because, of course, she is a Gosnell book fan.
	You mainly know her, but she did Not Evil Just Wrong as it related to climate change.
	And, of course, that's in the news today.
	And A Fract Nation.
	Fragnation!
	Fragnation has talked a lot about environmental issues.
	And with the Paris Accord, since we're talking about that...
	Oh, by the way, little known fact.
	To learn about cultures is to appreciate cultures.
	And that's why we do Cultural Appropriation Month.
	It is to appreciate cultures.
	Is what respect looks like.
	I don't know if you know this.
	The Japanese male, the average height, is four foot nine.
	What?
	Four foot nine, yes.
	Fully grown?
	And they tend to have an IQ that's on average four points higher than their European counterparts, but an inability to love.
	So, learning.
	Learning always about the Japanese people.
	He gives and takes away.
	Listen, I think you've got to keep your eye on them.
	Cuts both ways.
	I know, forgive and forget, but Pearl Harbor...
	That's going to sting for a while.
	While we're talking about Trump, Paris.
	Yes.
	The Paris Accord, we talked about this yesterday.
	Trump held his press conference today to discuss his position on the Paris Accord.
	For those who don't know, he decided to pull out.
	Okay, but how many of you have frankly seen the Paris Accord?
	Okay, it's awful.
	Is that all you get for your money?
	Okay, it seems like such a waste of time, truthfully, and if that's what it's all about, Paris, if that's what you call moving up...
	And I pull it out.
	Pull it out.
	Next question.
	That's a man who sticks to his guns.
	That is a man who sticks to his guns.
	Respect.
	And I think, I give praise where it's due.
	Good on you, President Trump.
	We'll talk about that with Governor Huckabee.
	I know he has some opinions on that.
	And good guy.
	Good guy, Governor Huckabee.
	Fun guy.
	Hey, in other news, in Lebanon...
	They banned the Wonder Woman film.
	By the way, Nakei Jared and I and Courtney Scoss will be reviewing this film tomorrow.
	We'll get that up on YouTube or for those who watch Morning Grinders who get the full review.
	Sure.
	Lebanon banned the film and this has been trending all over the place.
	Originally it was believed that they banned it because of Godot, the lady who plays Wonder Woman, her Israeli nationality, which of course is at war.
	I'd convert to hang out with her.
	Well, I don't think...
	I don't know why you convert to Judaism.
	I don't even know which...
	Messianic Jew.
	Yeah, I don't know.
	Way to step on the joke early on there.
	Sorry about that.
	So it was originally believed to be banned because of Gadot's Israeli nationality in their war with Lebanon.
	But the Lebanese ambassador later clarified that it was actually a lack of realism with the film.
	Oh.
	As Wonder Woman was allowed to drive.
	They said there's no way their people would ever buy that.
	Oh, yeah.
	He also cited test screenings leaving audiences really confused at the lack of her third act honor killing.
	People were expecting it.
	She expressed so many opinions!
	There's no way that would happen.
	Nothing worse than a disappointing plot twist.
	Except for one at G. Morgan Jr.
	I'll step on a joke in a minute.
	Just steps on it.
	Just right out there, right out of the chute.
	It's like Pearl Harbor all over again.
	It's like now I know what Pearl Harbor was like.
	Here's another news.
	Black Lives Matter was awarded the Global Peace Prize from the Sydney Peace Foundation.
	This is not a joke.
	Do they know?
	Yeah, I don't think...
	There's not a hint of irony.
	And this is the statement they released.
	The Sydney Peace Foundation said, This is the first time a movement and not a person has been awarded the Peace Prize.
	A timely choice.
	Climate change is escalating fast.
	Increasing inequality and racism are feeding divisiveness.
	And we are in the middle of the worst refugee crisis since World War II. Yet many establishment leaders across the world stick their heads in the sand or turn their backs on justice, fairness, and equality.
	Apparently that has something to do with Black Lives Matter.
	What the hell does that have to do at all?
	Yeah, we're going to give the award to Black Lives Matter.
	How do you justify this?
	There's climate change going on!
	And there's about justice and equality!
	And 2017, y'all!
	BLM! Because they stand head and shoulders above the rest.
	We salute you, Black Lives Matter.
	Music by Ben Thede
	That's right.
	Race knows no bounds when it comes to the feels.
	Thank you, Black Lives Matter.
	I felt it.
	And thank you for legitimizing the Global Peace Prize.
	We'll keep an eye on that one for years to come.
	Speaking of which, Huffington Post, this one actually got not gay Jared Scott.
	He was so upset about this.
	As we said, we try to not attribute motive.
	Sometimes people get things wrong.
	Huffington Post blatantly lied with his article.
	They blatantly lied.
	Let me set it up for you.
	They've been using the recent Portland stabbing to try and push this narrative of white supremacists and try and revive this idea that it's like American History X out there on every boardwalk.
	Despite the fact, by the way, the guy was a Bernie voter, but meh.
	Inconvenient.
	Yep.
	So to the extent of their pure dishonesty, Huffington Post wrote a piece on this.
	Because, listen, they're concerned about white supremacy.
	They actually wrote these words to form these phrases.
	After a white supremacist killed six people at a Sikh temple in Wisconsin in 2012.
	So they're going back to 2012.
	That's a hint.
	So you know there's a hint.
	You want me to go reach back to find any kind of act of terror or killing in the name of Islam?
	I don't even need to turn a page.
	It's right there.
	It's on the cover of the book.
	There's no time.
	I don't even need a timer.
	My Fitbit tells me about my pulse less frequently than Muslims kill people in the name of Islam.
	2012, after another white supremacist slaughtered African-American churchgoers in South Carolina, after militia extremists occupied a federal wildlife refuge in Oregon, after radicalized military veterans murdered police officers in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, and Dallas, after three members of a crusader militia were arrested for plotting to attack him...
	Okay.
	Something there sticks out.
	Did you not notice that there's a sleight of hand there?
	They just throw this all in.
	First off, they throw it in under the premise because this recent guy's a white supremacist...
	That's not necessarily...
	Again, Bernie guy.
	The guy seems like he was deeply mentally disturbed.
	Baton Rouge, the guy was a Moorish sovereign citizen member.
	By the way, he was also a black guy.
	So pretty hard to be a white supremacist.
	When they mention Dallas, the guy who carried out the Dallas cop killings was a member of the new Black Panther Party amidst the Black Lives Matter rhetoric.
	Give them a peace prize.
	Even the source that HuffPo uses, this one...
	Point to just that.
	So either...
	But I'm a white supremacist, though!
	But they're veterans!
	He identifies, he identifies.
	So they're right-winged, though.
	That's exactly...
	That's a good point.
	Yeah.
	Their implication here is that if you're a veteran, you must be some kind of an extremist or white supremacist.
	And you look at that.
	You look at Napolitano not long ago, remember, wanted to put tea-partiers, right-wingers, veterans on potential lists for domestic terrorism.
	Yeah.
	As though they're a greater risk.
	And they always have to reach way, way back.
	Timothy McVeigh, of course, has cited in the article.
	Of course.
	I know that people are just going to say, well, isn't it just hypocritical for you to say, well, mental health is a condition when it's not Islam, and then when it's Islam, you say it's terrorism?
	No.
	No, it's not.
	And let me tell you why.
	The reason that Huffington Post had to fabricate these stories as acts of white supremacy is because there aren't enough of them.
	It's because...
	Most of these killers, they had completely incoherent values to begin with.
	So if you look at a guy who was a Bernie voter, he was a Black Lives Matter supporter, but then he hated Muslims and he was saying it was our country.
	If you look at Dylan Roof, who was an atheist and he was a Confederate, but then he might have been a liberal.
	You look at the Facebook pages.
	These people have had completely...
	There's no unifying set of ideas.
	No, there's no unifying set of ideals whatsoever.
	As contrasted with...
	The prescription of killing non-Muslims in Islam as per the founder of the feast, Muhammad.
	There's no conflicting ideas.
	People aren't confused.
	It's very clear.
	And that's why they're killing people in record numbers.
	So is it hypocritical for me to say, you know what, when someone says Allahu Akbar, I'm killing in the name of Islam, that's Islam.
	And when someone else says I'm killing because my toaster said black people are bad...
	He's mentally ill.
	No, I don't think it's hypocritical.
	No, it's completely fair.
	And I don't see why this is...
	I see this all the time on Twitter with these social justice warriors trying to point out these anomalies of things to say.
	See, Christians do it too.
	Right, no.
	But it's so easy to debunk and say, look, okay, that's great.
	He's a Christian who screwed up.
	But if you look at his mission, you can easily debunk that with what we believe, what the Bible says.
	Islam is kind of like, no, actually, that's pretty consistent.
	And for the very last time, Timothy McVeigh was not a Christian!
	No, he was not.
	Okay, sorry, I just had to get that off my chest.
	Wait, what was he, though?
	I don't know.
	For a little while, he was a little bit Catholic, and then he kind of leaned toward his own deal.
	He even came back at the very end and said, no, I'm not.
	I'm not a Christian.
	Which I will say...
	That was a class act for him to come out and say that.
	He was like, you know what?
	He cleared the air.
	I don't think it's fair.
	He didn't have to do that.
	He didn't have to do that for us.
	No.
	And he did.
	The most infuriating thing about this was that when I went to that page to read this article, I couldn't stop the video from playing.
	Oh, on Huffington Post?
	Yes, it was.
	Huffington Post, I now hate you for another reason.
	It's the autoplay video.
	It plays and you can't push pause.
	It says it's processing.
	It's not processing, it's playing.
	Buzzfeed and Vox and Huffalo.
	It's that autoplay video.
	It's a cheap way to get a play, jerks.
	It is terrible.
	Hey, speaking of cheap trick, Donald Trump tweeted out the word k-f-f-f-f-f.
	So this is the national scandal right now.
	Impeach him!
	Get him out!
	He misspelled coverage on Twitter.
	Now, to be fair, it does worry me, A, that he doesn't have his autocorrect on his keyboard.
	Some people do better without the autocorrect.
	He needs the autocorrect.
	It does worry me that not only did he not think to check his tweet before he put it out on Twitter, not only does it worry me that nobody caught it, but that they refused to fix it for a long time.
	All of those things worry me.
	I understand that indicative of a chaotic administration or some character issues, right?
	I'm not concerned about it at all.
	Do you know how many times I've done this?
	Yes, I know, but that's because you're not the president of the United States.
	It's true, but one follow-up like, damn autocorrect, like we've all done, would have been fine.
	Right, but he didn't do that.
	I bet you he sent out a memo trying to get people to convince the country that it's an actual word before he just concedes.
	Like, ah, tell them it's a word.
	It's from an old Slavic.
	That's what he did.
	He tweeted it out.
	He said, anybody, who can tell me what the word means, basically, in a tweet?
	Sean Spicer says...
	I was like, oh, a small group of people know exactly what he meant.
	That's the problem.
	He proves all the jokes right.
	Remember when Melania was slapping away his hand and all the jokes were, I'm sure he'll have some great excuse for this, that she was actually whispering away the West Nile virus from his hand instead of just saying, hey, they had a tiff on the plane and she wasn't having it.
	Well, hey, people are focused on that and not the other failures that he's got, so hey, that's cool.
	My point is, I'll give them that.
	However, The left should take that and say, isn't it kind of concerning that these people are so careless?
	Fine, if you talked about that, most people would probably agree.
	The problem is that this has been, for at least now, an 18-hour news cycle, non-stop, top trends, CNN panels on experts and political strategists and correspondents coming in.
	They got the graphs.
	Yes, the graphs.
	How do we do that?
	There's a 2% likelihood that he would misspell context.
	And really, if you look at the possible misspelling, see if he possibly actually missed the V here and there, he actually was trying to write Nazi!
	They're making a national scandal out of an error that was likely made late at night at 12.30 a.m.
	on the crapper.
	Excuse me, Mr.
	President?
	Don't bother me.
	Okay, frankly, I'm very busy.
	Yes, I understand.
	It's an urgent matter.
	Okay, listen, go come back.
	I have so much paperwork to do.
	Frankly, the paperwork is amazing.
	I understand, but sir, it's an urgent matter because you misspelled the word coverage on Twitter.
	We'll have to get ahead of the game.
	Oh, shit.
	Ivanka bought the single ply again.
	And no more trips to India, okay?
	Put that on my calendar.
	If they want...
	I'm not going to India any...
	They can send one of those son of a bitch ambassadors, okay?
	Not that bad.
	I'm going to change out this jacket in the middle of the break for a leather jacket that doesn't have 14 layers.
	Are you, like, sweating your butt?
	Oh my gosh, this is terrible.
	It's worse than the Cosby sweater.
	It was like a hockey bag.
	Okay, to go macro here, we often do this on a Thursday.
	I think this is important because a lot of people have been talking kind of about Venezuela.
	And they...
	Why are you laughing?
	I don't know.
	You said Venezuela.
	You're a horrible human being.
	That's a joke, right?
	People are dying in the streets.
	I'm laughing because of people who...
	Well, where we're going with this segment.
	You're laughing.
	See, that's foreshadowing.
	It's foreshadowing.
	I screw up jokes.
	We've been talking about Venezuela now for a while.
	But people have been talking about it sort of in little snippets, and you don't get the whole picture, right?
	Venezuela is collapsing, okay?
	Venezuela is a disaster.
	Like Naki Jared said, it's a joke.
	And it's a shining beacon on a hill.
	Of feces that is socialism.
	It is an exact example of how socialism always ends up where it takes a country.
	And the reason I want to talk about this today is because it's constant moving of goalposts.
	Whether it's communism, socialism, big government, it's constant moving of, well, it'll work, we just, they didn't do it right.
	They're doing it right, or we're going to do it right.
	Well, here's the thing.
	Let me make a case here.
	I want to hang people on their words.
	People sometimes need to be accountable.
	People were praising Chavez And using Venezuela as their example for the success of socialism in the modern world.
	This was the example they used.
	Don't believe me?
	Let's go to Noam Chomsky.
	Darling intellectual love child of the left.
	He was praising Venezuela for a long time.
	Was actually asking all of his constituents to look to it and teach it as an example of successful socialism.
	You had celebrities who were praising Chavez and mourning his death.
	Jeremy Corbyn.
	You had Michael Moore who claimed that Chavez actually reduced poverty, eliminated 75% of extreme poverty.
	You have Oliver Stone.
	And of course, there's Chavez's favorite pool boy-in-chief.
	Who can forget the repeated claims and cries of Sean Penn?
	He is one of the most important forces we've had on this planet.
	And I will wish him nothing but that great strength he has shown over and over again.
	I do it in love.
	And I do it in gratitude.
	Okay.
	Yeah, the clip gets worse.
	The clip gets worse.
	You told me that.
	I didn't believe it.
	I watched.
	Oh, gosh.
	Yeah.
	It gets worse.
	You can go and watch the whole video.
	He praises him.
	He condemns Americans who act as though he's a dictator.
	He says, this is one of the most beautiful elections.
	These are people who are being pulled out of poverty.
	How dare you criticize Chavez, my dear friend.
	And no one in the world has been more inspirational.
	Yeah, and El Chapo's his great brother.
	Yes, yes.
	They both wear fantastic shirts.
	The results?
	Well, let's look at the results of Mr.
	Inspirational.
	People are starving.
	There's rioting in the streets.
	Three different university studies have shown that the average Venezuelan this year has lost 19 pounds.
	It's a great diet.
	19 pounds.
	It works every time.
	And here's what's important, because now you'll have all of it.
	It's kind of like the people who say, well, actually, no, I was never on board with that version of socialism.
	Now people will say, well, no, I, I, well, Venezuela, it's because of Goldman Sachs is having to notice it today.
	It's because of capitalism in other countries.
	It's because of interference.
	It doesn't, no, I was never on board with the, with the Venezuelan socialism.
	That's not a fair example.
	Okay.
	So they're wrong there.
	Put that one on the board.
	Okay.
	But let's go to the examples that they point to right now, because I want you to hang me on my words.
	I want you to timestamp this, come back and fact check all of us.
	Now they're moving on from Venezuela.
	Bernie Sanders did this in his campaign.
	They've pivoted.
	So they point to all of the Nordic, the Scandinavian countries, places like Denmark and Finland, right?
	That's what Bernie Sanders said.
	Well, actually, no, no, no.
	That's the example.
	These are the examples.
	Europe, you know, these are the places where socialism has worked to a degree.
	Okay.
	Let's remember that.
	Now, they're not as bad as Venezuela yet.
	But I predict that they're all going to collapse in some form of similar fashion.
	Let me paint it for you this way.
	Socialism has never, ever worked, okay?
	And it hasn't worked for a few reasons.
	We'll get into the moral reprehensibility of it and how it just goes completely counter to the human condition, unlike free enterprise.
	It doesn't harness the power of the human condition.
	It actually stifles it.
	But, outside of that, there are three main reasons.
	Number one is freedom.
	Of course, socialism removes, systematically, freedoms until you have none left.
	Then, two, socialism invariably throughout history has always harmed countries economically, domestically.
	And then finally, it has reduced these countries to completely insignificant pissants in the form of global impactors.
	Socialist countries don't provide a whole lot to the rest of the world.
	So let's go to the first portion.
	Freedom.
	Well, let's point to these countries that people, okay, there is no freedom in Europe.
	Germany?
	You don't have freedom of speech.
	It's not a part of their law.
	Certainly in the UK, we talked about a guy who was arrested for singing Kung Fu Fighting.
	Do you have any idea what would happen to us?
	In these countries, Germany has strict no shopping laws.
	And not what you can do, but what you are not allowed to do as a business.
	You're not allowed to open during these hours.
	You're not allowed to shop in these locations or open your shops.
	It is unbelievably stifling.
	And, of course, with the UK, here's something.
	We're talking about freedom.
	There's no actual common law right to self-defense.
	In the UK, it's illegal to even purchase a product which is made to cause injury.
	Yeah.
	Let alone fact.
	Doesn't stop the people who are really looking to cause injuries.
	No.
	But it does stop the law-abiding citizen who says, Oh dear, I won't buy that frying pan because I'd have a good mind to whack this robot over the head with it.
	Please rape my wife.
	Yeah, let's subsidize rapists.
	Yeah.
	But ban the tools to prevent rape.
	The police even cautioned against using a dye that you could spray.
	Now, don't put it in the eyes, because that could then be intended to cause harm, and even though the product doesn't cause harm, you did.
	If you do use this dye, it could sting, causing poor eyes at a temporary moment.
	Walk a mile in his shoes.
	Remove the raging erection, of course, but walk a mile in his shoes, and you'll find it's not quite easy with that dye in your face.
	By the way, would you like to rape me also?
	Sure.
	Mr.
	Bond, here is a condom.
	You will need this.
	Someone should have done that, though.
	Because Bond would just be walking out just riddled with venereal diseases.
	Okay.
	So, freedom.
	There is no freedom.
	Socialism cannot lend itself to freedom because it values a collective over the power of the individual.
	Alright.
	Economic outcome.
	Well, again, we see what happens with Venezuela, we see what happens with all of these other socialist countries, and they move the goalposts all the time.
	They tried to point to Canada for socialized healthcare for a long time, until they tried to move it.
	So right now, what's really popular is to point to a lot of these Scandinavian or these Norwegian countries.
	Denmark is a great example they point to.
	Denmark has suffered immeasurably.
	Denmark has had unbelievable growing pains as far as their economy.
	And if you want to talk about income inequality, Denmark has put taxes that are absolutely so stifling, people can't even, average middle class citizens can't afford a car due to 180% tax.
	Jeez!
	180% tax on cars in Denmark.
	And Bernie Sanders said, 180% tax is a human right!
	It's a human right.
	I know some people are going to argue over which Bernie is more accurate.
	Godfrey.
	Godfrey.
	But it's gotten to the point where socialists here, because they had to correct course in Denmark, they realized their socialist economy was not working, people weren't working.
	The Danish Prime Minister specifically said, because of Bernie Sanders and his ilk, stop calling a socialist.
	We aren't that anymore.
	We are moving toward a market economy out of necessity.
	It's like you misgendered him.
	He's a little triggered.
	We do not identify as socialist anymore, okay?
	Good lord.
	Yes, we've gotten it wrong for centuries, but we think we're going to get right for the next decade.
	Like France.
	We'll change it up.
	Then we'll go back.
	European youth, their unemployment is 40-50%.
	Europe is just, they're drowning in the cost of welfare bills.
	The World Bank actually, this is a quote, Europe accounts for a massive 58% in global welfare spending while accounting for 7.2% of the total population of the world.
	That is a huge problem.
	And if you look at their GDP spent on welfare benefits in certain countries like Greece or places like Sweden, where a disproportionate number of able-bodied men do not work.
	If you look at Sweden, which is one of the main economic drivers in the new industrialized world, as soon as they put in their new form of socialism, you look 1970s onward, it's inconsequential.
	They're no longer on the radar of the global economy.
	Not as they were.
	And here's something, too, that's really important.
	Before we get to the global positive impact, they talk about income inequality is eliminated.
	Well, okay.
	Do we believe that government, as a general rule, tends to go above and beyond, or do they tend to cut corners, right?
	Even if you're a Democrat or Republican, what do you tend...
	Do you think government...
	There's a reason it's called bureaucracy.
	Let's simplify this.
	Have you been to the post office?
	Yes.
	Have you been to the DMV? You gotta take a number, though!
	I did yesterday.
	So...
	They're not good anymore.
	They're not good anymore.
	You gotta take another one.
	You're closing in 20 minutes.
	This is going to be bad.
	This is going to be bad.
	Someone's going to come in here shooting and everyone's going to act like they don't understand.
	They're going to say they didn't see it coming.
	I saw it coming.
	They say, what's the easiest way?
	If you believe the government cut, you know, they cut corners.
	What's the easiest corner to cut if you're looking to reduce income inequality?
	Is it to create more wealth?
	Is it to make everybody richer?
	Or is it a little bit easier just to tax more people, take their stuff, give it to someone else so that people are more equally poor?
	That's what happens always in socialist economies.
	People can say, well, there's more income disparity in the United States.
	Okay, if you have 10% of a $1 million pie, that's less fair, but wouldn't you rather have that than 50% of a $1,000 pie?
	If you could have, let's say,.001% of the total American economy's revenue, wouldn't you take that over 2% of Venezuela's?
	The point is, capitalism-free enterprise, we've talked about this, creates a bigger pie.
	But because of people's selfish nature and selfish bureaucrats looking to cut corners, trying to appease them, it's a lot easier to say, look what he has more Yeah, but his ten is worth a fraction of what it would be if you had less and you allowed him to make more.
	Socialist governments do not create more wealth.
	They remove it.
	And as you see with Venezuela, then they blame the business owners.
	For leaving!
	Yeah, and by the way, invariably, your 50% of the pie will be worth much less.
	Yes.
	Fast forward 10 years.
	Right.
	In socialist countries.
	It's like diluting the stock in a company.
	They run out of toilet paper, like in Venezuela.
	Yes.
	They don't have toilet paper anymore.
	They don't have toilet paper.
	And by the way, it's not that extreme, obviously, in places like Denmark or places like Germany or places, you know, and we are talking about very small, entirely homogenous populations.
	Yeah.
	They don't use Sweden anymore because of already.
	Uh-oh.
	Awkward.
	But invariably, that will happen.
	The collapse, the kind of collapse you see with Greece, the kind of collapse you're seeing with Venezuela.
	Again, these are places that were always heralded from the left as, look at these, look at socialism, it can work.
	And then they switch their tune.
	And then Greece happens.
	And then Greece happens.
	This is what it ends up.
	And then it comes down to global, especially for the ultimate irony for the left is they're globalists.
	Well, there is no more global positive impact when you become a socialist country.
	For example, Swedes right now, they're purchasing more and more private insurance in Sweden because the government is so bad at it.
	I know I shouldn't need to tell you about Cuban hospitals, but I do because Michael Moore said they were actually something to revere.
	They're obviously terrible.
	So if you look at...
	Here's the thing.
	If a government of a country is completely incapable of providing rudimentary health care to its citizens, okay?
	It's kind of like on a plane.
	Put your oxygen mask on first so you can help somebody else.
	They don't have any oxygen.
	They have no capability of getting it.
	They're not going to help anybody else on the plane.
	If you can't provide basic services to your people, or even allow them to create an economy that allows them to afford these services, you have no chance of helping the rest of the world with Curing diseases, creating modern medical advancements, technological advancements.
	It's because of free enterprise in the United States that you're able to watch this either on your television or the internet or on your smartphone and you go pop some popcorn in your microwave, turn on a light bulb and maybe flip over to Seinfeld.
	It's because of the Unite-- oh, also, you don't have polio or rickets.
	You're welcome.
	And that's because if not, if there's something in there that wasn't directly from the United States, certainly from a free enterprise capitalist system.
	Capitalism, free enterprise, doesn't just help those who live in the country under its umbrella.
	It is the only way to positively impact a global economy.
	Now, the final step with this is, even if none of this were true, even if you could point to any example of socialism working, of people doing better, of income inequality being eliminated and everyone being wealthy, of healthcare parameters being better.
	Even if your country wasn't sucking on the teat of every other country as you suck on the teat of your country.
	Let's take this, a socialist country that...
	Has its own military that's powerful enough that they don't have to rely on another country like, say, the United States.
	A socialist country that has such a booming economy where they have a surplus and they can tax their citizens at a rate that is fair.
	A socialist country that is so far along the economic trail that they are innovating and willfully giving that and distributing it and benefiting every other country in the world.
	Let's assume that there's a socialist country that exists like that.
	Guess what?
	It still doesn't change the fact that it was built on theft.
	It was built on a crime.
	Even if you take that money and you give it to a charity, but you took that money by punching someone in the face and holding him at gunpoint, you, my friend, are an immoral, reprehensible bastard.
	And we are going to call you on it, just like we are with these celebrities who pointed to Venezuela.
	Well, that house of cards came toppling down.
	How long do you think it's going to happen for these other countries they're pointing to now?
	Place your bets.
	Tweet me at S. Crowder and him at Not Gay Jared.
	Ignore the stupid uniform.
	We have Governor Mike Huckabee coming up next.
	I'm ditching this jacket.
	And we're good.
	That's it.
	Okay.
	Jared, is that a minute and a half?
	A minute and a half.
	A minute and a half.
	Okay, I'm going to go to the bathroom.
	Shit, shit.
	Talk to me next, right?
	Uh, yes.
	Why don't I get more face time on this show?
	All the feedback says the fans like me more than knock A.J. Why did I always give him so much face time when people find him annoying and they only liked him the one time invited him in the dress?
	Why the lights so bright on in here?
	Why does Steven Cooper so cold?
	Why don't more people join my club?
	Don't they know that there's a support through my club that allow my master, Steven, to fix my leg?
	Maybe if they knew that my club would support my health, and my leg, and all my teachers, they would join more.
	Plus, it's pretty affordable for 69 for students and military, but...
	Well, I know I'm just a dog.
	Oh boy, that uncle, boy, did not get hurt.
	Alright, there we go.
	I had to take off the glass because I realized I was cleaning the glasses.
	They do get foggy.
	You just take them off.
	Especially when you're...
	Dive bombing your plane to certain to death.
	Very glad to have our next guest on.
	He's been on the show quite a few times.
	I used to work with him when I was there at Fox News, do his show.
	One of the genuinely nicest guys I've worked with behind the scenes.
	And I say that because I have a big mouth.
	And I've been very open about when people are horrible behind the scenes.
	This guy is pretty much what you see is what you get.
	At Gov Mike Huckabee.
	Thank you for being here, Governor.
	Well, thank you, Stephen, and I'm just so delighted that I'm not having to play the role of the kamikaze pilot today.
	I've been down that road a few times.
	It's not much fun crashing into a carrier, so you're welcome.
	Well, I don't think you take a road to a carrier, but it's a flight trajectory, but either way, the sentiment remains.
	It's a glide path that does not end well, to put it that way.
	Yes, exactly.
	And, okay, well, speaking of which, the Paris Accord, that's why I wanted to have you on.
	It seemed as though this was just tailor-made for you.
	The Paris Accord, no-go, polling out.
	A lot of people just say, oh my gosh, how good, you don't have to do something about climate change.
	Yesterday we went into the ramifications of it, how many American jobs would be lost, what it would do to third world countries, the amount of actual deaths that would be observable.
	So people can go back and watch that.
	What is your sentiment on this?
	Is this a huge victory, minor victory?
	Governor Mike Huckabee has the floor.
	Well, let me say this, Stephen, to quote a great line from the greatest love story of all time on film, Casablanca.
	We'll always have Paris.
	Look, this whole nonsense about how this was going to save the world, save the planet.
	No, it really wasn't.
	The U.S. has taken a number of steps to reduce carbon emissions.
	And while most of the pompous anchors on television, including Fox, will tell everybody that there is no doubt There's an absolute of the science here.
	There really isn't.
	And very credible scientists have said, look, it may be that we are seeing an acceleration of global warming, and it could be because of various human factors, and it could be contributing to it.
	But the true answer is, we don't know the full extent, and it's not quite as cut and dried.
	Now, let me take a quick side trip.
	There's something in the scientific world that is cut and dried, and that's when life begins.
	Life begins at conception.
	So the same people who say that there are deniers of science and they're not willing to accept science, they've yet to accept the science of biology when it comes to when human life is created.
	So I just find the arrogant, snobbery, the incredible sense of smugness that approaches this is very off-putting.
	Let's assume for a moment that everything that the left says about global warming and that the science is absolutely correct.
	The fact is the United States, as I said, has been making significant strides, far more so than China, far more so than Russia, than the Middle Eastern countries.
	So we have contributed far less to carbon emissions than other countries.
	And for us to have entered into this, and here's my simple point.
	If this was such a fantastic deal, why didn't President Obama take it to the Senate and sell it?
	Because after all, isn't he the most skillful salesman in the history of the world?
	A man who got a Nobel Peace Prize before he was barely sworn in as president because of the anticipation of what he was going to do?
	So he's that good.
	Then he should have taken this to the Senate, made it to the treaty.
	It would have been very difficult for Donald Trump to have undone a treaty.
	Didn't do that because he knew that maybe the science was not on his...
	It's a bogus deal.
	Well, first off, when we talk about science, I think the litmus test is where are you on the idea of 72 genders and intersectional quantum physics as is being taught at the University of Arizona.
	So I think you still might be a flat earther yet, Mr.
	Huckabee.
	We all need to learn.
	I do believe that there's an X and a Y chromosome, and that really determines are you male or female.
	You've got some nerve on you.
	I think it's fairly clear they're male and female.
	There's a binary choice.
	Now, there may be some people who have various issues.
	I've known people who have had total surgery, complete reassignment.
	But this idea that I can just think myself into something and identify with it, You know, I'm going to think myself into having paid all my taxes before I pay any next year, and I'm going to identify as a full-blown taxpayer.
	You sound like Bernie Sanders.
	Yes, you do.
	You sound like Bernie Sanders.
	You just convinced yourself.
	Sorry.
	Oh gosh, Bernie Sanders.
	We have the actuary tables because the Young Turks want him to run.
	It's over 25% likelihood that he would die in his first term.
	Now the talk is Joe Biden's going to run and he's going to be a year older, so we could put the Bernie too old to rest now, as the chink says.
	Let it never be said that the DNC is the party of old white people.
	Let me just say that I'm refreshed by this notion that the Democrats are reaching deep out into the future to get their bench.
	And the average age of their candidates between Hillary and Bernie and Elizabeth Warren and Joe Biden is going to be somewhere north of 75.
	So I think that it just shows that if you're a young person and you're looking for someone to lead you into the future, why wouldn't you pick somebody?
	You know, who is probably closer in behavior to the people at the beginning of life drooling and wetting themselves than it would be for the people who are at the peak of their lives.
	Yes, that's true.
	Also, if you put Bernie Sanders in a rocker, he just screams at the wall incessantly.
	So he's very, very similar.
	It is sad to watch.
	He didn't change much.
	Can you imagine his mom?
	I don't know.
	He just keeps screaming that rattles are a human right.
	So with this deal, a thing that a lot of people don't understand, let's assume for a second the science is in.
	Let's assume all of this.
	Let's assume global warming, humans are the sole cause of it, and it's going to be a catastrophe.
	Let's assume that NASA didn't just come out and say, actually, we're going to have a half a degree cooling over 50 years, but then it's going to go back to a degree of warming over 100 years.
	Let's assume all of this.
	Is there any definitive proof?
	Again, we're talking about science, right?
	So science needs to be something that you observe that you can test either in some laboratory or recreate the result.
	Is there any definitive proof that this accord would do anything to change climate change?
	No, I don't think there is.
	And that's part of the reason I think the president made the right decision by saying we're going to pull out of this accord.
	He didn't say we're going to see if we can trash the environment or we're going to see if we can pollute the air and the water and make You're going to hear that from the left.
	You'll hear that from some of the globalists.
	But that's not what he's saying.
	He's simply saying, we also have to have people who have jobs, who have an income, who have a way to put bread on their table and clothes on their back.
	And the Paris Accords were going to have such an impact, particularly on poor people.
	And I find this interesting, Stephen.
	Liberals always say they're the champions of the poor, but when you raise people's electricity rates by 20% and people can barely pay their electricity at the bottom of the economic food chain, how is that helping them?
	When you make it so that people lose jobs and employers have to cut back on the number of jobs they offer, so that means more people out of work, greater levels of unemployment, more dependency upon government rather than dependence upon their own industrial activities of hard work, How does that help poor people come out of the hole?
	And I'm going to be very blunt with you.
	I grew up poor, so I know a little about this.
	I get so tired of people whose last names are Kennedy and Kerry and Rockefeller, all of whom are on the Senate Energy Committee, who lectured me one time when I was testifying before them when I was governor, and they were lecturing me about poverty.
	And finally, after a few minutes of this, I just paused and smiled, and I said, I've got to tell you, this is a big day for me because I never, ever thought in my life I'd be sitting in front of three billionaires listening as a kid who grew up in a little rent house, never understanding that I would one day be lectured about the nuances of poverty by the three of you guys.
	Right.
	Well, it's like people being prescribed how to run an economy and how the government can take control of manufacturing and distribution by people like Marx who've never actually worked a job.
	Many people have no idea that these people never contributed to an economy.
	Whenever Governor Mike Huckabee says, I'm going to be blunt for a minute, I'm always waiting for him to just one day be like, son of a!
	But it's just always very polite.
	So the blunt is really just, let me be very eloquent here.
	Well, then Salon would go after him, and that would just be a real career killer.
	Yes!
	Salon went after Governor Mike Huckabee for May.
	I don't remember what the joke was.
	Listen, some of your jokes land, and you would be the first to say, like, some of them don't.
	It wasn't your finest material.
	I read it, I was like, eh.
	But I'm going, you defended a serial pedophile, Salon.com, three times!
	Three times!
	What hell, hell universe did I somehow step into where you get to take the moral high ground with Governor Mike Huckabee?
	So, do you read them regularly and comment?
	Is it on your radar?
	They don't like you.
	Comment to the people who don't deserve my time or attention.
	I'll read a sampling from time to time, but mostly, I tell people, I do my tweets for my amusement and their amazement.
	And if they're not amazed, then they're probably not amused.
	If they're not amused, they shouldn't follow me.
	Here's what I find funny.
	I'll send something out, and immediately, within seconds, somebody will say, you're irrelevant.
	Nobody's paying attention to you.
	Delete your account.
	I'm thinking, well, idiot, you're paying attention to me.
	So much so that within seconds of my tweet, you're jumping all over it.
	So I must mean something to you.
	And last time I checked, Congress had not passed a law that required anybody to follow me on Twitter.
	It's totally voluntary.
	Yes.
	If you really want to throw them for a loop, just have, like, put up a gif of someone flipping the middle finger.
	Like, is this, did Mike, did Governor Mike Huckabee get hacked?
	Who is this?
	Here's the thing, they went after Ted Cruz for a Twitter joke recently, too.
	I really think they hate, they hate so much when conservatives look like regular people.
	Well, you know what?
	To the point where we have actually, so we have bits on this show, and remember our 911 call?
	Yeah.
	So we did a 911 call.
	On our show, it does pretty well.
	We have a really big demo audience for a conservative audience.
	Well, it got many, many, many millions of plays because someone cut just the sketch from the show with no accreditation to us.
	And all of a sudden, when people didn't know it came from a conservative, it was mega, mega viral.
	So the comedy stands on its own.
	But then when they just said, well, you're not funny because you're conservative.
	It's the common attack they use.
	With Donald Trump and Jimmy Fallon, they didn't like People, like conservatives, feeling like they are relatable.
	Yeah.
	Everyday people.
	Just like, you know, funny, making jokes, cracking.
	They'd rather us be really stiff and rigid and...
	Yeah.
	...and unrelatable.
	Which is funny, because you were...
	I mean, you...
	I don't know how well you know Seth Meyers, but during that first campaign, you were on SNL, and I remember you had this hilarious bit.
	Not good, Jared.
	You were too young.
	But you had a bit where he was still running for president.
	It was about superdelegates, and Governor Huckabee didn't know that superdelegates were only for Democrats.
	It was really funny.
	The timing was perfect.
	So...
	At that point, because let's be honest, at that point there was no mathematical possibility for you to win, all of a sudden they were like, oh, Governor Mike Huckabee's funny.
	But if you're a threat, he sucks, he's not funny.
	Have you noticed that pattern?
	Sure.
	I mean, that's part of the deal.
	But I find that liberals, for the most part, don't have much of a sense of humor unless they're making fun of people that disagree with them.
	Right.
	They don't have any self-depreciating humor.
	They simply are devoid of that.
	Look, I know that some of my jokes—you mentioned this, Stephen, so I'll confess.
	Some of them don't always land.
	Some of them are a lot like the North Korean missile program, you know?
	Some make it off the launch pad and some don't.
	Right.
	No, hold on a second.
	That is a horrible analogy, and that is to shortchange any of your jokes that do work.
	I don't think they've ever had one function, Governor Huckabee.
	Okay, well, but the fact is, I think conservatives, for the most part, are happy people.
	You know, we kind of know who we are.
	We're cool with that.
	And we know that a lot of people don't agree with us and even hate us for it, but we don't lose sleep over it, and we don't get all worked up, and we don't have to be on medication over it.
	Yeah.
	Well, some people are, but that's just because, again, we're happy and we like to have a good time.
	Governor Huckabee, it adds to it.
	You never drink on a bad day.
	That's what we always hear.
	That is the rule.
	Governor Huckabee, so you said, you know, we were talking about this right before air, during the break.
	You said this administration is kind of one for two because we have the Paris Accord.
	Great.
	But you were obviously a big advocate for the, you know, United States Israeli embassy, and that's not going through.
	Explain to people who may not be aware of what it is we're talking about and what the president's policy is regarding that right now.
	Stephen, a brief history.
	Back in 1995, the Senate voted 95 to 2.
	To officially move the embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and recognize Jerusalem as the legitimate ancestral capital of the Jewish state.
	It really was not even controversial at the time.
	There was a provision that was stuck in there.
	And the provision was that the president, every six months, could sign a waiver that would delay the move of the embassy for that six-month period.
	Well, since 1995, that's 22 years, every six months a president has signed the waiver.
	Bill Clinton did it, George Bush did it, Barack Obama did it.
	Donald Trump campaigned on the promise that he would move the embassy.
	So, Frank, I thought he might do it on January 21st.
	And I strongly recommended to him that he did, and I felt that that would have been a powerful statement to the world.
	He didn't.
	He was in Jerusalem last week.
	I was there as well for this 50th anniversary, the jubilee anniversary of the reunification of Jerusalem.
	Great opportunity to announce the embassy coming.
	He didn't.
	A lot of disappointment in Israel over that.
	They really thought, why do you come on the 50th anniversary if you don't acknowledge Jerusalem as the capital?
	Okay.
	Comes back July.
	June 1st is the deadline.
	That was today.
	And he signed the waiver.
	So it's, you know, six months.
	It's so tossed out there.
	Two questions I was going to ask.
	Sorry, before we, two questions.
	A, why is that so important to the Jewish people, to people out there who may not understand?
	I mean, if they say, well, it's, is it just symbolic?
	And then number two, why do you think President Trump signed that waiver when he promised that he wouldn't?
	Well, I think it's important.
	It's not just important to Jewish people.
	I think it may be as important, if not more so, to evangelicals in the United States, people that were the reason Donald Trump is president.
	And that's why I don't think he fully comprehends that support for Israel among evangelicals ranks right up there with pro-life as a non-negotiable.
	And it's a very important issue.
	Now, people say, well, why?
	Because if we don't recognize that there is a special place geographically that the Jewish people have laid claim to as their ancestral eternal homeland, and Jerusalem, the only people for whom it has ever been a capital, the Jews, ever, the only people for whom it has ever been a Right.
	But it was their capital 3,800 years ago.
	And it's the only country in the world where we don't locate our embassy in the designated capital of that country.
	So it's not symbolic.
	It is substantive.
	And it's a way in which we say that we don't just give lip service and respect Israel, but we actually respect them and we respect their capital.
	Well, I think that's important.
	First, I think that's important for people to note, because we will have people, a lot of folks who watch the show who are libertarians who say, well, I really am against this idea, this foreign policy of putting Israel's interest above our own.
	And I understand that.
	I don't think we do that.
	But I also think that you could be more of a non-interventionist saying, all right, let's stop funding everybody in the Middle East, which would mean...
	Less to Israel.
	But if you add up cumulatively what we give to countries who want to wipe them off the face of the map, it could be a net positive.
	It's totally a tenable position for someone to think that and also understand that, by the way, yeah, they should be allowed to have their capital in Jerusalem.
	Next one, why do you think President Donald Trump didn't?
	Because the left will obviously, even though they couldn't care less about Israel, they'll try to be saying, well, it's because of his business interests now with people who don't like Israel.
	That's what they will run with.
	Yeah, it all goes back to Russia and Assad and Yeah, or Saudi Arabia.
	So what would you think his reasoning is?
	Well, I think it's very simple.
	He is surrounded by a lot of people who have convinced him that he is the great negotiator and he can sit down with the Palestinians and Israelis and make a deal.
	Sign up.
	And, you know, maybe he can.
	But here's what I don't think so many people around him who are advising him understand.
	They tend to think that this is a diplomatic issue, a geographical issue, a political issue, an economic issue, an international issue.
	It is not.
	No.
	It is ultimately a theological issue.
	And this goes not back to the 1917 Balfour Agreement or the 1948 Independence of Israel or the 1956 War with Egypt or the 1967 Six-Day War, the 1973 Yom Kippur War.
	Stephen, this goes back to Isaac and Ishmael.
	And if you don't take it back there and understand where the conflict has its roots, Then you can sit down at every table in the world and you're not going to come up with some lovely agreement that people are going to honor.
	I think that's one blind spot we've talked about with President Donald Trump.
	And you could, of course, disagree.
	We never want to be disrespectful to someone who works directly with him.
	But since he's been an adult, this has kind of been my theory sometimes where he has his missteps since he's been old enough to understand the concept of money.
	Well, you know, you're famous, right?
	So when people meet you and they're fans, it's a very different kind of interaction.
	Right away, it's an entirely different dynamic.
	Psychologically, it changes people.
	Since he's been old enough to run a business, right away he's had enough money, and people have typically been in relationships where they want to get a piece of that, or he can control them in some way, or there's a money relationship.
	Typically, when he's been doing business deals, he's been doing them with people who are in business.
	They want to make a deal.
	I don't think he understands yet that Hamas...
	No, it's in their charter to wipe out Israel.
	They have no interest in a deal.
	None.
	That's their core belief.
	No deal.
	Kill Jews.
	It's as simple as that.
	And they can promise it.
	By the way, in their own code...
	Telling a lie is a perfectly acceptable moral position if it gets you what you want.
	So even if they sit down at the table and say, oh, absolutely, we're going to behave.
	I mean, look at the Iranians.
	They've never kept a promise in 38 years since the radicals have taken over in Iran.
	Not once.
	Not one time.
	No.
	Why on earth would anyone believe them?
	Unless you're incredibly gullible, like Obama was, who made a deal with the Iranians, thinking that they're going to, oh, of course they're going to keep it.
	Yeah.
	So they give them hundreds of millions of dollars, and what do they do?
	They immediately laugh in our face, and they go about accelerating everything they can do to build a nuclear weapon.
	I feel like Iran's propositions that were put on the table when Barack Obama was president, it was nothing but a dare.
	And for some reason, they were constantly going, he's going to sign it!
	Can you believe it?
	What more do I ask for?
	He's doing it!
	I feel like that was the entire...
	Put it in the free ice cream.
	Put it in the stick.
	That's what's ironic.
	I mean, this is a country that when they sign anything, they sign it on flash paper.
	So, not hit ourselves.
	They're never going to keep an agreement because they don't think they have to.
	Right.
	I know.
	I guess that's the same thing.
	They probably gave it to Barack Obama.
	Like, yeah, sign with this.
	It's the Invisible Ink!
	Can you buy it every time with this guy?
	All right.
	On Twitter, very entertaining.
	I highly recommend you follow him because he's unchained these days.
	He's not beholden to anyone.
	He does it for his own enjoyment.
	That's when you see the best, Governor Huckabee.
	At GovMikeHuckabee.
	Governor, thanks so much for making the time.
	I know it's a busy day for you.
	It's a pleasure to be with you, Stephen.
	Thank you very much.
	And right after this, we have...
	Oh, Anne McElhinney!
	Irish!
	Irish.
	Most of the very sucky.
	Just a little racist pun there.
	Most mugs do suck, but I'll tell you what doesn't.
	The Ladder with Crowder hand-edged mug.
	For those who are members, we had the free week last week, ladderwithcrowder.com slash mug club.
	You can send your complaints to NACA, Jared.
	I don't want to hear them.
	It's $99 annually.
	It's $69.
	Even if you're a white belt, you're technically a student, like Adji Morgan Jr.
	is there.
	$69 for students, veterans, active military.
	Listen, the amount of people who joined after getting to watch the show for a week was incredible.
	Thank you so much.
	When you joined, not only...
	You can see The Daily Show, and you can see Jared's show, and there's some bonus content every week, including outtakes.
	But it is what allows us to continue operating for free on YouTube.
	You're seeing a lot of conservatives uploading less content to YouTube, moving to other sites, and sometimes you can't find them.
	The big irony is that joining the Mug Club and supporting the premium content is what allows us to fight back on YouTube, on the free platform.
	Because, Young Turks, we're coming for you!
	We're coming for you, right?
	And not only that, there's a dozen people here at Lotter with Crowder who are employed.
	If you want to talk about growing the economy and jobs, it's a small business.
	There are a dozen people at this show.
	Of course, you get access to all the other shows, Mark Levin, Michelle Malkin.
	Gosh, there are a handful more people, and there are more joining every day, especially after this last free week trial.
	We had a lot of people join, so you'll be seeing some new shows soon.
	You get to support all of it.
	Including my drug habit.
	Yeah, and of course you get to support Not Gay Jared's drug habit, and what he really means is Rolaids.
	So you can join at louderwithcrowder.com slash mugclub.
	$99 annually or $69 for students, veterans, active military.
	Also, announcement, we are going to be in Ireland next week.
	We're going to Ireland!
	Pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.
	Also domestic terrorism.
	There's a lot going on in Ireland.
	We'll be broadcasting from a pub.
	It's cultural appropriation month.
	Who knows where we will end up next?
	Next, it could be some third-world country like Detroit.
	ladderwithcounter.com slash mugclub.
	Alright, glad to have our next guest. glad to have our next guest.
	It's cultural appropriation because appropriating other cultures is to appreciate their cultures.
	We're learning about Japan today.
	Little known fact when it comes to Japan.
	I'm waiting.
	They have a 94% attempted suicide rate.
	And the rate of hermaphrodites is actually 18 times the global average.
	Knowledge is power.
	Yeah, knowledge is power.
	The more you know, our next guest, we are very glad to have her on.
	She's been on the show a lot.
	She's a favorite.
	Well, actually, her culture is next week because we told people we're going to be in Ireland broadcasting from Ireland next week.
	A local pub down there, and we're going to be appropriating Irish culture and McElhinney.
	Oh!
	Gosnellbook.com.
	Everyone should go out and check it out.
	It is doing incredibly well, despite the New York Times trying to act as though it doesn't exist.
	Anne McElhinney, thank you for being with us.
	It's very good to be here.
	Thank you so much.
	I cannot believe you're going to Ireland and you didn't invite me.
	Oh my God, I want to know about the pub.
	I want to know where you're going.
	I'm going to send people down.
	Well, we...
	Honestly, I would never go anywhere else in Europe at this point.
	Very few places.
	But Ireland doesn't play that game.
	Ireland does not do the...
	We're welcoming it in all the migrants and the rape.
	We're fine with it.
	Doesn't happen in Ireland.
	So I feel pretty safe.
	Well, maybe a little bit of it, but...
	Don't feel too safe in Ireland, by the way.
	Just don't feel too safe in Ireland.
	You'd be surprised at some of the ideas that they have there.
	So just...
	Comforting.
	It is comforting.
	It is comforting.
	The problem is we're going to dress up Jared in the most offensive stereotype possible to see how quickly he gets his ass kicked.
	Fabulous.
	Okay, so Anne, obviously we've talked about the Gosnell book.
	People need to go out and read this.
	We were talking about BuzzFeed and their just crazy abortion propaganda.
	But let's go to a lighter note here.
	You mentioned, you just said you had two fabulous Trump derangement syndrome stories.
	I have.
	I have two.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Unbelievable.
	So the first one is, so as you can see with the light here, I'm living now in Southern California.
	I'm living in the Hollywood Hills with all the people who live in the Hollywood Hills.
	Yeah.
	And I thought, you know, when I moved to Southern California, I'm an Irish girl.
	I thought, you know, I should try and soak up a little bit of this culture of these strange people who live in Southern California.
	Yeah.
	So someone offered a meditation class in the neighborhood.
	And I thought, you know what?
	I'm going to go to the meditation class.
	I go to the meditation class.
	Very nice.
	Everyone was very nice.
	I was the favorite in the class.
	Everyone liked me because I'm Irish.
	Everyone likes you.
	I can't think of anyone who doesn't like you until they hear about your ideas.
	Oh, behave!
	Behave!
	So they're all there, and I'm thinking if they only really knew who I was, they really mightn't like me so much, but they're always saying how much they like me.
	And they did a meditation, and one day we did one meditation with like...
	I want you to breathe in, breathe in, breathe in all the negativity, breathe in all the negativity, and then push love, push love into it.
	And so they did that, right?
	For five minutes, I was having a ball.
	I was pulling in that negativity.
	I was pushing out that love.
	And then they went around the room, how did you get on?
	How did you get on?
	And I'm there in my lovely meditative state, feeling very zen, and the first person said, Well, that was really good for me, you know, because I was breathing in all the hatefulness, all the anger and the hatefulness from the Trump supporters, and I was pushing love into it.
	And I'm sitting there going...
	And then they came to the next person.
	Did you push her down?
	And the next person said the same thing.
	And they all started saying, oh my God, that's exactly what I did.
	I was feeling the same thing.
	I was pushing love into those hateful Trump supporters.
	And by the way, I was thinking in my head of those hateful Trump supporters that I love.
	Those people that I love.
	People who are evangelical Christians and gorgeous people.
	Anyway, so that was my first story.
	My second story...
	Next time if that happens, so here, I bet you you can bait that situation into happening again, because it's not all too uncommon.
	I know in yoga that, you know, breathe this in, push this down.
	So when they say I was pushing down the Trump haters, what I want you to do is walk right up to them and just start pushing that person down physically.
	Oh, wow!
	We think alike!
	It's a bit of horror.
	Anyway, I decided, you know what, I don't want to fight in every context that I'm in, so I never pretended who I was, and I stopped going to the meditation task.
	My next story is from this weekend, because now that I live in the Hollywood Hills, I get invited to posh dinner parties, and I got invited to a very nice posh dinner party.
	Well, careful, because then a gay guy wants your husband to take his keys, so careful.
	One of the people at the dinner party was a very, and I don't want to identify this guy, and you'll understand why.
	A very famous doctor.
	Let's just put it that way.
	A great man who does wonderful healing and a great, great person.
	Do I know him?
	You wouldn't know him, but people in your community might know him.
	Doctors might recognize who he was, so I don't want to say.
	All his life, he told me, very nice guy.
	All his life, he has voted Democrat.
	All of his life.
	Until this election.
	Where he voted for Trump because he couldn't vote for her because of Israel.
	This guy is Jewish.
	So great, great, great for having the dinner party.
	He said, you know what?
	Really amazing.
	I was saying to him, yeah, but you know what's amazing?
	The Trump derangement syndrome.
	He said, I've got a story for you.
	He just spoke recently at a conference in a foreign country.
	I won't even identify the country because I'm very conscious of not identifying this man.
	And so at the conference, he met an American colleague.
	In the midst of the conversation, he told the colleague that he had voted for Trump.
	So later on, they're in this beautiful hotel in a very posh place, whatever, and he comes down to the bar and sees a huddle of people, including this American man, and they're pointing at him.
	They're pointing at this eminent doctor, this healer, this amazing guy who's saving lives every day.
	They point at him.
	And he's pointing, and the man who's pointing is the American, surrounded by French people.
	And guess what they did?
	They raped him.
	They spat on the ground.
	They spat on the ground.
	These are eminent doctors, healers, and this is how they react to Trump.
	Madness.
	It's all over the place.
	It's hilarious.
	We have a neighbor here, and so we're driving around the neighborhood.
	We're driving around the neighborhood.
	All of the poshest houses, the most expensive houses, had the Bernie signs on them.
	The next ones down had the Hillary Clinton signs.
	My husband wanted to put a Trump sign up, but I said no.
	That's who I am, Stephen, because I didn't want the house to be burnt down.
	But anyway, we're driving around, driving around, and it's very dangerous driving around here, and we nearly had a car accident.
	What do we see in a house around the corner?
	A big Trump sign.
	And I'm thinking...
	What?
	And Phelan and I both said, we've got to call over and see that guy.
	We have got to go and visit that guy.
	Yeah, careful, he probably has a gun.
	Next time we go by, the Trump sign's gone.
	And then we call by later, and the Trump sign is up, and he's got it all secured with, like, with really secure wire, and it's, like, really impossible to remove.
	So Phelan calls up to the guy's house, knocks on the door.
	Long story anyway, but they had a gate and whatever, and they were scared.
	The daughter of the house came out and said, is this a trap?
	Anyway, we've become a big friend of that guy, and he is a Trump supporter, and he is up here.
	And, you know, we have to huddle together because it's a hostile environment.
	We're in a hostile environment here.
	It is a hostile environment out there, and you're in a land of crazy people.
	And you still do have to be careful approaching some of the Trump side.
	They probably have a gun, and there's a more likelihood that you are blown away.
	I wouldn't blame him if you're on his lawn.
	He hears someone with a funny accent saying, I support Trump.
	Ah, there's no Trump where you come from.
	I know you're kind.
	I know you're kind.
	You people, you're the white people who actually do commit terrorism, Irish.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Oh, exactly.
	Well, let's, no, no, no.
	No, no, no.
	Okay, it's never too soon.
	It's never too soon.
	Go out there and zip or find a migrant raper.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Gosh, yeah, the French.
	The French.
	We can just talk in generalities here about that.
	We have never gotten more flack than our stands on climate change.
	And I've been very reasonable.
	I'm not saying there isn't climate change.
	I'm not saying that humans aren't even contributing to it.
	The question is, is it catastrophic?
	Is it imminent?
	And is there anything we can do about it?
	Okay, the closest thing that people are saying they can do about it.
	Well, I was there at the summit before.
	It was a Kyoto Protocol.
	Now it's the Paris Accord.
	There's no proof that it would do anything at all, and the United States would be disproportionately bent over and paying for it.
	If I say that, and you say that, we make the economic argument, we make the argument, listen, this is actually going to hurt a lot of people, put people out of work in the first world country, and kill people who need energy to survive and they can't afford it in the third world country.
	On a scale from 1 to 10, obviously you did Not Evil Just Wrong.
	People need to go watch it.
	How bad is this deal?
	It's crazy bad.
	The good example to really point out to people, so who's really compliant here?
	Who's bending over backwards here to go with these cords, with these kind of measures?
	The Germans.
	And here's what we need to know about the Germans.
	They're bad.
	The Germans are using 40%.
	40% of their energy is produced by coal.
	40%.
	Yeah.
	Because of the fact that they've got rid of their nuclear, and because of the fact that wind and solar are so unreliable.
	So 40% of their energy has been produced by coal, and their emissions, these awful emissions, these awful CO2 emissions that we're meant to be all so terrified about, have gone up by 50% in Germany.
	Yeah.
	The price of electricity in Germany, so the price of electricity in 2012 here in the United States per unit was about 12 cents here in the United States.
	In Germany, I think the latest numbers, yeah, 35 cents.
	As you say, that is going to disproportionately affect the poor.
	But here's the kicker.
	Here's the big kicker.
	Here in America, where we are not complying with any of this nonsense, guess what's happening to our evil emissions?
	Down, down, down, down, down.
	Do you like that movement?
	I like that down, down, down.
	It looks like an early boy band.
	Or Hitler's symbol for the Jews.
	And that's caused by fracking.
	Because of fracking, the CO2 emissions have just plummeted here in the United States.
	Fracking is a miracle.
	It's a fracking miracle there, Stephen.
	And hold on a second, hold on a second, hold on a second.
	Because you're also not even taking into account how fewer emissions there are when we're not dependent on foreign resources for energy, where they don't have an EPA. They don't care about it.
	Here's what's so crazy, and this is what I love about it.
	If I could have N. McElhinney on every single day, I would.
	But here's the thing.
	We were talking about this yesterday.
	We have Sven Computer as our intern from Germany.
	And he talked about, you know, they actually have to sell their energy off at a negative price rate.
	Everything that you just said, we talked about yesterday.
	Oh, sorry.
	I'm sorry.
	No, no, no, no, no.
	But here's the thing.
	Most people haven't heard of it.
	And they're like, well, why haven't I heard of it?
	It's because they're just not having the conversations.
	And I hope that's the value of the show for a lot of people.
	You and I have these conversations off air.
	And you know what else, Stephen?
	The other factor in this is that if America continued in that Paris Accord or whatever, if they continued in that vein with all those agreements, right, the Americans would comply because we're law abiding.
	The Chinese, you know, I saw a headline, you know, the Chinese, no matter what, the Chinese lied about SARS. They lied about SARS and let their own population die.
	And it made it to Toronto.
	It made it to Toronto.
	That's who they are.
	And that's who the Canadians are.
	We had SARS in Toronto, at the Toronto airport.
	It didn't make it to the States because we didn't fall for it.
	But Canadians, they're so tolerant of everything, including SARS. They tolerated SARS. Yeah, yeah.
	The idea that people that agree to this accord, the idea that they should all be treated equally, that they should all be treated the same, that they're all going to comply.
	Like, seriously, that the Chinese, you know, that anyone would trust anything that the Chinese would sign.
	I've been in China.
	I've been in Beijing.
	We can't I'm saying the government.
	Yes.
	And yes, Gosnell Book.
	Gosnellbook.com.
	Go to Gosnellbook.com.
	You know, it's really interesting.
	So the New York Times.
	We love the New York Times.
	The New York Times.
	Willie Parker.
	Dr.
	Willie Parker.
	Okay, but we do have to wrap, so go with this.
	The Christian abortion doctor.
	Mark you, Stephen.
	Christian abortion doctor.
	If that isn't an oxymoron, I don't know the definition of an oxymoron.
	But the New York Times could not love him more.
	They have done profiles of him.
	Our book was a bestseller.
	It sold out everywhere in 24 hours.
	And guess who didn't review the book?
	Guess who didn't review the book?
	And guess who left it off where it should have been on the New York Times?
	We did eventually get on the New York Times bestseller list, but not where we should have been.
	Lots of people are reading it.
	And by the way, the one thing I would say as well is I did an audio version of the book, Stephen, and a lot of people are buying that for people maybe traveling in their car.
	I hope Philem didn't narrate that.
	I hope your husband did.
	He said he hopes Philem didn't narrate that.
	No, I know.
	You always are very abusive about it.
	I understand him perfectly.
	It's like Brad Pitt from Snatch.
	Okay, we do have to go.
	Anne McElhinney and her husband, Philem McElhinney, they both work together, do great stuff.
	Gosnellbook.com.
	Please go read it.
	We have to go and wrap this show up on a nice ribbon.
	Oh, there it is.
	One, two, three, four, three, four, five, four, five, one, two, three, four.
	Many of you are still unaware of the items available at louderwithcrowdershop.com.
	Not only do they make you look and feel better, but they serve a multitude of purposes.
	Like our Socialism is for fag shirts, assisting in identifying potential allies.
	I found that shirt very offensive.
	I think it's pretty funny.
	Or our Bad Hombres Firearm t-shirt, helping you know who to avoid.
	Am I to take that shirt to mean that you support some kind of firearm registry?
	Or this one.
	Hey, look, it's my face.
	I hate it.
	Though louderwithcrowdershop.com isn't for everyone.
	But can I buy the mug from the shop without joining the mug club?
	No!
	The rest of you, check out the merchandise at louderwithcrowdershop.com today.
	It's better to have loved and lost than ever to have loved at all.
	Come cheer up my nights.
	Come cheer up my nights.
	It's better to have loved and lost.
	It's better to have loved and lost.
	Captain John Rucard than ever to have loved at all.
	I'm going to say, thank you so much, by the way, to Anne McElhinney.
	We will be in Ireland next week, so there will be no show on Wednesday.
	No show on Wednesday.
	And we will be broadcasting live from Ireland on Thursday.
	That'd be good.
	Thursday, we'll be broadcasting live from a local pub.
	We may even be sober.
	There is perhaps, and I'm pretty sure that you can guess which culture we'll be appropriating next week.
	Take a wild guess, but you won't guess the other three.
	We're unlucky in that there have been five weeks in June now, last month and this month.
	Five Thursdays in June.
	Are there five Thursdays this month again?
	Yeah, there's five Thursdays.
	You lucky bastards.
	I know.
	You just get more and more of the cultural privilege month, and we've been hearing your requests.
	Frankly, stop winning.
	We can't stop winning.
	Thank you so much to Governor Mike Huckabee.
	I think next week we're going to have Lacey Green on.
	That'll be good.
	That'll be good.
	We've criticized Lacey Green a lot.
	Apparently she's having dialogues with people from the other side of the aisle.
	Sorry, this is stupid.
	I can't do it.
	I wanted to see how much I could ruin you taking me seriously, though let's be honest at the point in this program.
	Especially if you've had some sake.
	I still don't get the sake thing.
	I know someone out there is going to be furious saying, you haven't had the right sake.
	No, it's just terrible.
	It's an awful beverage.
	We just need to admit that some cultures have inferior...
	For example, Japan has inferior hornets because they're killer hornets.
	They kill people.
	They paralyze people.
	Our hornets are better because they only slightly stink.
	Your rice wine is worse...
	Than all other wines.
	Not just our wine, but France's wine, Italy's wine, Michigan's wine even.
	It is so bad, Japan.
	I don't know who you've tricked.
	By the way, this is the official position of Lotto the Crowder.
	They should know this out there.
	Yeah, sake is awful.
	They should be aware about this.
	It's the official position.
	It's like flat, sweet beer.
	That's what it is.
	It's like all the elements...
	Think about this for a second.
	Beer, it should be hops, barley, yeast.
	You know, it could be wheat, right?
	But hops, typically malted barley.
	The Bavarian purity laws don't allow for a whole lot else.
	But then you have these American adjuncts with all awful Bud Light and that kind of crap.
	The Miller that is just terrible.
	And it's because there's corn and there's a lot of rice in it because it's cheaper.
	So take all the elements that you don't like about cheap, watery domestic beers.
	Remove the carbonation.
	And that's snarky.
	Are you saying you never get enjoyment out of just something you know is pure crap beer?
	It's pretty hard.
	It's pretty hard.
	Trader Joe's simpler times I can do, but their Pilsner is not bad.
	No.
	Every once in a while, I'll go on record.
	Bud Light Lime.
	You are disgusting.
	You don't like beer.
	Not good here.
	He doesn't like beer.
	He likes to act as though he likes beer when he talks to other people.
	He once made fun of me for drinking gin cocktails when he cannot have a sip of whiskey.
	I enjoy fine gin, also whiskey.
	You don't have to, but just don't lie about it.
	You don't drink beer.
	You don't drink whiskey.
	Also, you have an innie.
	You have an innie wiener.
	Um...
	Anyways, tweet me whatever your favorite beers are at S. Crowder, at Not Gay Jared.
	Tell us what your favorite...
	Yeah, Simpler Times Pilsner I will do.
	And if there is absolutely nothing else, for example, I'm at a wedding or something, I'll do a standard Budweiser.
	I won't do a Bud Light or anything.
	I'll do a standard Budweiser.
	It's better than Miller High Times.
	It's better than Coors Banquet.
	I'll do a standard if I have to, but I don't like it.
	And it's maybe like once a year.
	It's never good.
	No, it's never very good.
	Well, I'll do a Labatt or like a Molson, but Molson Canadian is not the same we have in Canada.
	We have Molson Dry and Molson Export.
	Who knew?
	You had a point that you wanted to make.
	We usually do kind of, we wrap up the week with our closing thoughts, though tomorrow we have the Wonder Woman Review, both me and Nakei Jared.
	You had something that you were talking about.
	Today, you wanted to express.
	So let's try and make sure you use words.
	Words.
	In fact, this is important because it's about words.
	And I think the importance of words.
	We talked a lot about this this week with abortion.
	We debunked a BuzzFeed video and kind of the abortion kind of myths going on in that video and the lies.
	That's right, it was BuzzFeed.
	It wasn't Fox.
	It was BuzzFeed, yeah.
	You're right.
	This is an awful week, by the way.
	And we talked a lot about...
	Well, you hear the statement a lot.
	I hope you never have to make that decision.
	We've had guests on even said, you know, I hope, you know, I never had make, it was the hardest decision of my life, people who've had abortions or gone through divorce, you know, it was hard.
	And I was thinking a lot about words.
	It's usually said in a way that's very pious, like, well, I hope you never have to decide to get an abortion.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I hope you never have to decide on divorce.
	It was the hardest decision of my life.
	Right.
	Killing my baby.
	It's like, well, you say that in a way that makes me think I should revere you for your hard decision-making skills.
	Right.
	But you made the wrong decision.
	Morally, you made the wrong decision.
	And I was thinking about that a lot.
	People use it, and I think we should be really careful about when we hear people and the words they say, and sometimes we can lose it in tone sometimes, and we miss, like, oh, wait, pause.
	No, no.
	That was a hard decision.
	I would praise you if you chose the right thing.
	That would be hard.
	Like, hey, you had every reason to abort your baby.
	Everyone's telling you you should, but you chose not to.
	If it was a hard decision, I commend you.
	Or you're going through a divorce.
	Hey, every reason to leave my spouse, every reason to leave it.
	It was a hard decision in my life, but I decided to work through it and press through it.
	And that's noble.
	And I was thinking a lot about that.
	And you know what?
	And a good point.
	It's more than you don't even realize you just said decision, but on the plus side, when you're actually making the positive choice, really it's defined by a series of actions.
	So divorce was the hardest decision of my life.
	Fixing my marriage was an ongoing process.
	It was the most difficult process of my life.
	Having an abortion was the most difficult decision of my life.
	Having my baby and taking care of it or giving it up for adoption and supporting it and nurturing it the way that it needed to, that's an ongoing process.
	So often when people say that, it's a pious, they're trying to set this up, right?
	It's almost always in a tone, and don't let this happen.
	I used to have this happen a lot when I was young, and I will tell you, I've definitely matured, I've learned some things, and if I could tell my younger self, hey, there are a few mistakes that you could correct, I actually would have listened.
	I was always someone who was pretty teachable, but I would have people who would say, ugh, You're a baby.
	You don't know anything.
	But what's interesting is, even whether I was at Fox or when we started this show, when we were at local radio shows, when they would say the same thing, that age always changes with their age.
	In other words, you're just a baby.
	Talk to them two years later.
	You're 26.
	You don't know anything because they're two years older.
	And so these are people who don't feel solid in their ideas.
	They don't believe that their decisions have been the right ones.
	They don't believe that their actions have been the most productive ones.
	And so their trump card is, you don't know and it's something you can't change because I'm older than you and that's always going to be the case.
	You don't know what it's like to have an abortion.
	Well, you're right.
	It's kind of like people saying, you can't have an opinion.
	You haven't had kids, so you don't know.
	And the kid's running around with the curling iron stuffing in its mouth, you know, putting the blow dryer in the towel.
	I know that's bad.
	I know that's bad.
	I'm not telling you how to raise your kids, but I would like to see them not die.
	Also, I don't want them kicking my back of my seat on an airplane.
	It's really annoying.
	My mom dealt with that this last week, and she almost David Dowd the guy.
	Yeah.
	It's like, get a hold of your kids.
	That's a really good point.
	It is a good point, and people often say that, and it's usually said in tandem with...
	Oh, by the way, I made a bad decision.
	Because you know what?
	It's not the same tone where someone says, you know what?
	Keeping my baby, when I had every reason, you know, a baby with Down syndrome, or we didn't know that it would make it, keeping my baby was one of the hardest things I ever did, but it's the most rewarding.
	It's very different from the flip side.
	Someone saying, well, it was the hardest decision I ever had to make, and I hope you never have to make it.
	Yeah, this isn't who wants to be a millionaire.
	It was a really hard decision.
	A or C, I was pretty confident it was one of them.
	I had to choose.
	It's not the same.
	There's not a moral equivalent.
	There is a moral equivalency between the wrong answer there.
	But when these really big moral life choices, there's not an equivalency between the two decisions.
	Right.
	And I do think that generally, not always there are exceptions, but the person who says, you know what, it was the hardest thing I ever did to stick out my marriage after whatever happened, or after we weren't communicating, my husband was traveling, or it was very hard for me to...
	To decide to have that baby because it was the right thing to do.
	Usually it's followed by, ask me about it.
	They talk about it.
	On the flip side, abortion was the hardest decision I ever had to make.
	And you don't have a right to an opinion and shut up and get off me!
	Right?
	Same thing, divorce.
	Divorce is really hard.
	I don't want to talk about it.
	Usually when someone makes the right decision, they...
	You know.
	You know.
	And we were talking about this with Stephen Mullen.
	You know if you've made the right decision.
	People inherently know sometimes.
	Not always.
	That's where you need some kind of outside determining.
	Whether it's a deity or you like to say it's simply laws.
	I know atheists will say, ah.
	We talked about this with Jordan Peterson said, do you think people really don't know, have a sense of absolute truth?
	Or do you think people just BS their way through life saying, I'm living my truth?
	I don't think they really believe it.
	I really do think with most things in life, people have something inside of us that knows what real truth, definitive truth is.
	Or they know that it exists.
	They don't necessarily know what that is, but they know that it exists.
	Yes.
	And that's a good point, and I think that's important, because if they know that it exists, but they don't know what it is, that's where you see the manipulation of, uh, tone, I'm pious, you don't know, you don't have the experience, no vagina, no opinion.
	Another thing, we were talking about this, I don't know if we, we didn't end up making the show, but Huffington Post wrote about Donald Trump, they were saying, he's going, if Donald Trump has his way, he's going to allow religious employers to forego the birth control mandate.
	In other words, what the, interesting that they use the word allow.
	So if someone doesn't really know what the truth is, the truth is that the government has no right and no authority and was never intended to have the authority to force a religious organization or employer to provide what they believe are abortificants, regardless of your view on abortion.
	But the language they use, Donald Trump would allow these organizations to keep their own money as opposed to paying for abortions.
	Kind of like when they say, was it Elizabeth Warren, Donald Trump, President Trump wants to steal from the Pell Grant.
	Well, interesting you use the word steal.
	Where'd you get the money?
	Now see, the reason they're using the language is because people have an understanding that there's an inherent truth.
	That truth exists.
	Why?
	Because they're saying, well, stealing is wrong.
	Stealing is wrong.
	You use the word steal.
	Okay, that's wrong.
	But they also know that people don't know what that truth is.
	So they've applied a semi-truth.
	Steal.
	Yeah, that's bad.
	And they're stealing from the money that we took stealing from people.
	But the word steal, yeah, that's bad.
	Yeah.
	So they prey on that.
	And they prey on less transparency.
	And that's something we've always got to do.
	We're going to have Lacey Green on next.
	We had Mark Duplass on.
	We're always trying to invite leftists on.
	I truly do believe that the solution to most problems out there, if we're actually trying to get to real truth, like Nakajir was talking about, you've got to eliminate the you don't know, you couldn't possibly know, you're young, you're inexperienced, and we've also got to eliminate the half-truths.
	If we want to get to, okay, is there real truth?
	And I think most people do know that there is.
	The solution is transparency and open conversation.
	And guess what?
	That doesn't mean it's always civil.
	That's the big irony of this show.
	I mean, the intro for years in this show was I said, civility?
	How about honesty?
	But we have returned liberal guests who will never go on other conservative shows because even though we don't value civility above honesty, guess what?
	We employ civility on this show.
	We try to be respectful because our goal is to get to truth, and we believe that it's a more effective way.
	Most of the time, sometimes you have crazy people who come on the show and just want to yell, and you have to make an example of them.
	But if we want to get to absolute truth, what the truth is, like we were talking about with Jordan Peterson, The solution is pretty simple.
	More transparency, more research, more education, informing people more.
	That means less elitism.
	The wonderful thing is in 2017, there's no need for elitism.
	All information is at everybody's fingertips.
	Whether you're a member of Mensa or you're riding a short bus with a room temperature IQ, you can figure out what the truth is and you're more equipped to deal with it The more conversations you've had, the more people you've interacted with.
	So go and do that this week.
	Just make sure you're not wearing this getup because that tends to shut down conversation and it's a shame because it's mostly comfortable.
