Home Body Break with Steven Crowder and Not Gay Jared.
The Winter Olympics can inspire anyone to want to get in shape.
But you don't have to wait for that fresh coat of powder.
That's right! Your local skating rink is a great place to stay fit and have fun.
Today, we're going to be learning how to figure skate.
I'm uncomfortable on the ice.
And always remember, as with any new athletic endeavor...
Safety first!
Now before you move on to any advanced tricks, it's important to take a few laps and stretch those cold muscles.
Hey!
Ow!
Home Body Break with Steven Crowder and Not Gay Jerry sponsored by Mug Club.
This is a video of the Mug Club.
Great show tonight.
Huge show. Unbelievable show.
We have Nigel Farage. Of course, the pimp.
The pimp from the UK. The Westminster pimp.
Big daddy. And then we have Stephen Molyneux on, who's, I guess, the pimp of YouTube?
I'm not entirely sure. Or Freedom Media?
Maybe Canada. We have Owen Benjamin.
A little ditty from Owen Benjamin. And we have some new information to get to.
Big show. New and from Really Big Show.
Producing with me in video studio, as always, is Jared, who is not K. Follow him on Twitter at notkjared.
Me at escrowder with your comments, your thoughts, your photoshops.
We don't love them, but we'll allow them.
I fulfill my legal obligations.
Jarring conclusions. Are we good? Jar Jar Binks is his authority.
Yes, absolutely. At gmorganjr, simplifiedwine.com.
Delivered straight to your door. What's the wine of the day?
Wine of the day is Bella Gloss Las Alturas.
Bella Gloss? Bella Gloss.
I'm pretty sure you pronounced that incorrectly.
Then again, what would I expect? Sven Computer, ready for overlays?
Good evening. Ready as always.
He doesn't seem ready at all.
It almost seems as though he is ill-prepared.
Almost like we just booted him up.
And we'll be talking today, of course, quite a bit about the CNN scripting of the town halls.
I know what you're thinking.
Illuminati crisis actors. No, that's not the direction we're going.
What are you doing? There you go. Right away.
Dead quiet. Did you see this earlier?
Nakajir put his computer on a corner.
Right there, next to water.
Why would you take that risk? I live on the edge.
Yes, but it's not even like a fun edge.
It's the physical edge. It's the literal physical edge.
I have watched him wet himself at the sight of a Honda Cub, but then he will take a needless risk.
It doesn't even add. There's no reward.
I don't even understand this. I don't know.
Speaking of reward, Falcon 9, SpaceX's latest expedition, finally launched today, and Feminist Hermat.
Like this headline from NBC, the patriarchal race to colonize Mars is another example of male entitlement.
They write, and I quote, it is the same instinctual and cultural force that teaches men that everything and everyone in their line of vision is theirs for the taking.
You know, just like walking up to a woman and grabbing her by the pussy.
I love how this isn't just proof that yesterday's Salon Slate is today's NBC. I know, it's NBC. NBC. At what point do you say, ah, maybe it's not fringe.
It's NBC. Front page.
Headline. Look, as much crap as we gave him, Elon Musk just put a rocket in space, okay?
He just mashed your fat feminist paw on a keyboard and hit autocorrect.
Theory! Did you mean to say patriarchy?
Hell yeah! Oh, yeah, I did.
White penis. Gosh.
You can't do anything anymore.
No, you can't do anything. In her defense, Elon Musk might have been pushing this one a little bit.
It does seem like he's trying to instigate.
Oh, gosh. That's our president.
It's almost like they should have blurred that.
And it only cost you $400 billion.
Oh, cheap. Worth it.
Just grab that solar system.
When you say, when will feminists be mad about everything?
No. Yesterday. Can you imagine landing on the moon with feminists today back then?
Oh, yeah. Look at those giant penises going into ours.
That's one small step for man.
And one giant...
We say people kind.
A lawyer in Dortmund...
Is now pressing charges over...
This comes to us from Sven Computer, from a German...
Of course. How do you pronounce this, Sven Computer?
Dortmund? No, no.
Deutsche Welle. Deutsche Welle.
Okay, from Deutsche Welle. Thank you. You are dismissed.
A lawyer in Dortmund is now pressing...
They're pressing charges over being repeatedly sent prank pizzas.
LAUGHTER So far in Dortmund, Grohl has received more than a hundred unwanted pieces from different suppliers.
You know, Michael Moore has wet dreams about that problem.
But you know what? The movie rights have already been secured because he's taking the law into his own hands.
The court will wait for an answer.
If Lieutenant Kendrick didn't place an order for two meat lovers sent to my house, then why did his number show up in the call log?
For you. No, I didn't order a large Hawaiian.
No, I have requested to be removed from this delivery list.
Please do your research when I have requested you to do your research.
Colonel, Lieutenant Kendrick ordered the Mountain Dew Code Red, didn't he?
Because that's what you told him to do!
And when the pizza got old, you sorted standing Jimmy John's!
You voted your zip code!
You added the spread of alfalfa!
You ordered the cookie combo!
Colonel Jessup, did you order the sandwiches?
You don't have to answer that question.
I'll answer the question.
You want answers?
I feel I'm entitled.
You want answers? I want the truth!
You can't handle the truth!
It's a sad statement in our legal system.
I hope he finds what he's looking for.
An angry cow beat up a British tourist yesterday.
So that sounds fun. Comes to us from Daily Mail.
A tourist was left bloodied and bruised by a ferocious cow which became angry after this lady sang it a Black Eyed Peas song.
Amused by how large the creature was, she jokingly began singing the popular song My Humps of Black Eyed Peas.
Now the cow... And I quote, unamused by her rapping, suddenly charged at her with its horns.
Most saddened by the story, but still thrilled that their name is finally back in the news, the Black Eyed Peas.
By the way, this cow is awesome. I'm now a vegan.
That's what took it. That took it right there.
Can you imagine if Fergie herself sang the song?
It should be dead. It should be dead.
It should be dead. Trying to be sexy to the cow.
What's going on here?
There's nothing sexy about this.
There's nothing good about this, Fergie.
Gosh, I don't know. It does make you...
The Black Eyed Peas. It's kind of like...
I remember when the first Star Wars came out, episode one.
Everyone now loves to act as they hated it.
Back then, people loved it.
I hated it. I always hated the Black Eyed Peas.
I feel vindicated.
Did you see them? Was it the Super Bowl they were at a couple years ago?
It was the worst thing I've ever seen in my...
It feels like yesterday.
The wounds are so fresh.
Even Lady Gaga was when she did the Spider-Man.
Oh, yeah. She put on actually a pretty good show.
You could just tell she hadn't balanced it.
Someone hadn't calibrated it.
She put on a few pounds. I was born this way.
I'm gonna die this way.
A carjacker. Carjacker story.
These are always fun carjackers. By the way, I'm from Detroit.
We invented carjacking. You're welcome.
That's our gift to the world. Made his victim drive to Wendy's on the way to a drug deal.
We're going to get to CNN and their fake news.
Brett Engle was charged with felony aggravated robbery and abduction for carjacking woman with a box cutter.
Seems self-explanatory. He then forced her to go to an ATM to take out $200.
Police then say that the suspect had the woman drive to a nearby Wendy's and forced her to buy him something to eat.
Didn't go Dutch. No split seats.
Then the 84-year-old brought him to a gas station before finally driving him to a White Castle where he appeared to be conducting a drug deal.
So most upset by the ordeal is White Castle for finding out that they're not serving food fit for drug dealers.
It's so disappointing for them.
I can attest to this.
It's so insulting. He added 10 years to his sentence to avoid White Castle.
And it wasn't like that much of an upgrade.
It wasn't like, no, no, we're going to Houston's.
It was Wendy's.
There's that much of a discrepancy.
This is a guy who's going to prison because he didn't know what Uber was.
Yeah. So much trouble.
Take different Ubers. Go UberX.
Do the carpool. They can't track you.
Look, he's smarter than us. We stopped at White Castle.
We did when we were driving from Michigan to Texas.
Really not fun. Very odorous, but a very distinct odorous.
Tweet me at S. Kreider if you notice this.
I was talking about this. Everyone else was like, no, no.
White Castle, it leaves a distinct afterburn.
And I don't just mean like, oh, you ate a bunch of greasy food.
There's something very peculiar about White Castle and what it does to the human condition.
This guy was like, I ain't going there. My poop smell like hamster cages.
Ain't no way. We left and came back so that they could turn on the fryers.
Oh, that's right. We waited.
We waited for 10 minutes at White Castle.
Gosh, we had opportunities everywhere.
It's going to be bad decisions. If that were on our record, there's no way we'd be buying a gun.
A doctor who denied sex abuse.
Well, this doctor has denied sex abuse.
This comes from, I think, Canada.
By saying his belly was too big.
He lost his license subsequently.
Apparently the excuse didn't necessarily work.
So Ontario's medical regulator, they've revoked the lessons of a buried dermatologist who argued that there was no way, he had complaints, that he could have possibly rubbed his penis against his female patients, particularly their breastal area, because of his large belly.
I'm trying to be clean here, but this is the actual story.
So his argument was that I couldn't have done it because I haven't done push-ups.
And the panel actually was unable to conclude, after expert examination, mind you, whether his penal area had actually made contact with patients.
So it was inconclusive, because if the gut don't fit, it probably didn't touch your tit.
That's what they're saying. Another guilty man gets off.
Can you believe that? Imagine that that's your argument.
I mean, you just have to have given up on life.
Yeah. It's like you're cornered.
You're just like, uh, uh, uh, no!
I couldn't have committed sexual harassment.
Really? Why is that? Because I'm disgustingly morbidly obese.
Have you seen me? I have erectile dysfunction, I'm unattractive, and my belly gets in the way, and I would like to be free to go, Your Honor.
I haven't seen my penis in years.
There's no way I could have done it.
No way. There's no way.
Imagine him trying to just approve that, just like those poor infomercials.
Yeah, like a remote.
Like, I just, I can't even, Your Honor, there's gotta be a better one.
Tired of old cell phones?
You can't use? There's got to be a better way to commit sexual assault.
Technology today. Gotta be a way.
Yeah, I don't know what it is. This is a great intro to Nigel Farage.
So here's the one thing. We're going to talk about CNN. This is in the news, obviously.
CPAC is going up. By the way, no, we're not coming to your CPAC party.
Everyone's been asking. We're not there.
And a lot of people, I know...
We're hanging out here and we have our own lanyards.
Yes, exactly. We have our own lanyards.
We have the VIP++++ pass.
What does that mean? Free clean canteen.
So, Florida, obviously.
And I don't even want to name the shooter.
You've seen the kids who've been trotted out.
Yeah. 17 kids have been trotted out.
Now, one kid came out who was supposed to speak at the town hall.
And he said that CNN rejected his town hall question on armed guards and that it ended up being scripted.
That's what the kid said. So the message is, you know, please listen to the children.
Why don't the children have a voice?
Shut that little bitch up, please.
Not that one. Not that one.
Not that one. CNN went as far as calling the kid a liar on Twitter.
They wrote, there is absolutely no truth to this.
CNN did not provide script questions for anyone on last night's town hall, nor have we ever.
Okay, CNN. If you would have said last night's town hall, the kid might have been in a pickle.
Because maybe he didn't save your Google Doc, right?
Maybe he didn't save the question that you sent him and you could wiggle out of it.
But when you say, nor have we ever.
Put yourself up. A little bit of a backdoor.
I mean, it's like the first thing you learn in political science is just don't speak in absolutes.
Oh, yeah, yeah. You don't need a conspiracy for this, by the way, okay?
CNN has a long history of scripting, and that's why they've been catching flack for it.
Don Lemon's all torn up about it.
I need a little bit more balance in work life.
I'm a bad person today.
Don Lemon is now an actual lemon.
Just a bitter little fruit.
Drunk on air. He's looking old, Don Lemonade.
He really does look like dead Johnny Mathis.
He's just decayed really fast.
I don't know. He's got those Don Lemonades.
In every way. That one will be seen in the Twitter section.
So here's CNN. I don't want to get into the whole crisis actor thing because that's a conspiracy.
You don't need a conspiracy theory that you can't prove verifiably beyond all shadow of a doubt when you have the truth.
The truth should be enough. CNN has a long history with this.
Donna Brazile. Right?
They shared debate questions.
Hillary Clinton campaigned while working at CNN. We know that.
Michelle Malkin revealed a long time ago, she talked about the systemic problem, I think, with the CNN town halls having Democratic operatives and activists plants as undecided voters.
I mean, it's not really all that out of the realm of possibility when you consider we did the Antifa thing and the media just didn't want to pick up on it at all.
Oh, yeah, yeah. This is the lies by omission.
Right, exactly. Yeah, and you had guys like Chris Cuomo.
I think Sven Computer has that over there.
Oh yeah, do you have that? Do you have that, Sven Computer?
Of course we have it.
Okay, yeah. Chris Cuomo, the CNN pull-away in chief.
Except nobody, the kid said, I actually went in, didn't actually buy the gun, and walked out without filling any paperwork out.
But that's what he retweets, and then he doesn't go back and correct the story.
Turns out the kid walked in, looked at it, and said, yeah, with an expired license, and he's like, I got it.
Look at the rate of fire!
Also my biceps.
Yeah. I was like, gosh, this is the kind of story that sways opinion, though.
Yeah, no, exactly. And Cuomo knows, but he's pushing an agenda.
There's scripting that has been going on for a long time, and then there are lies by omission that they don't even realize their inherent biases.
We've talked about that with what occurs on campus.
I think some of it comes out of malice, and I think some of it comes out of they just don't even know.
I think maybe this person who issued the CNN statement didn't know about the Donna Brazile thing.
Didn't know about Candy Crowley and what happened with Mitt Romney.
Maybe this person didn't know.
Maybe it was the same person who was bitching that Elon Musk sent a penis rocket ship in the sky.
I have no idea. Media...
You want to know why there is no trust?
In American institutions, which ones you're asking?
All of them now? It's because of things like this.
We have never, ever, ever, ever, ever provided any scripted questions.
Except... If you were to ask me, if you were to say, hey, Stephen scripted an interview with Nigel Farage, I would say, no, no, no, listen, of course not.
Now let me show you, I have a list of questions where I ask Nigel Farage what he's doing at CPAC, and later on I'll be asking him those questions.
Here they are. And then we go off book.
I just have a... I would tell you that.
That's what happens. But I would not say, no, no, no, we've never, ever, ever, ever written down any questions at all.
No, it's just not true.
It's such a lie. And the difference is CNN is having the guests asking the questions scripted.
A host should be prepared, right, Chris Cuomo?
So they trot out the kids.
And this is a conversation. Someone corrected me on Twitter today.
And they were right.
I said, you know, listen, of course everyone has the right to be heard.
And... Yeah.
Yeah. Now, I don't hate these kids. I think one of them, for sure, is definitely a political opportunist.
He was tweeting from the school, or sorry, doing the Instagram video.
That's why I just don't like using kids as gimmicks.
They do that at CPAC, too. I don't like kids being involved in politics.
We just try and avoid it on this show.
So Seth MacFarlane, though, tweeted this out.
This is the narrative. Just like Christopher Titus when he was on the show.
show. Don't you care about kids? Seth MacFarlane tweeted, the American right is
terrified of the students of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High.
The students who rapidly turned themselves into activists after 17 of their
fellow student and teachers were murdered have become the most visible face of
this new phase of gun debate and conservatives are livid. Okay, so we're
afraid of kids?
It used to be you don't care about kids, now we're afraid of kids.
How many kids have they trotted out?
How many kids were at the town hall?
Anywhere from 15 to 20?
Let's say 30 tops.
What about the other all students at the high school?
Who haven't been on the news.
What about the kids who've actively come out and said, hey, you know what?
I'd like to talk about it. I actually disagree with what some of these kids are saying.
I actually think that this is something that could have been avoided.
I think there's some policies that could be changed.
For example, putting this in the database nationally.
The next background check. This guy had 39 calls to the house.
I think shot a chicken with his gun.
There have been other kids. No, no, no, no.
Not so fast. Right?
Kids with opinions they agree with.
Trot him on out. Steve, okay.
You tell me this. What were you going to say?
Oh, at some point there had to be a grooming process for that.
Of course. Combing through who has the political viewpoint that they want to push for.
Exactly. At some point that had to occur.
That is the truth. Now the lie that people run with, unfortunately, the crisis actors go, this kid is paid.
Yeah. Yeah. Just put him in a school for years to lay low until there's a shooting.
No, what happened is the kid decided he can get on TV. Kids get attention just like a kid who gets a laugh.
And so he keeps repeating this stupid joke because he keeps getting attention.
That's what happens with these kids.
And then they stutter over their lines and they get some scripted dialogue.
That happens in a lot of these interviews, especially with inarticulate kids who don't understand the Second Amendment.
But it's just funny. You tell me this, okay?
Kids with opinions on gun control, some of whom weren't even in the same wing of the high school, they're more relevant?
Then Stephen Williford, who KILLED the active shooter, who shot him with his own AR-15?
No one wanted to interview Stephen Williford!
Remember that? Yeah, throw his opinion in the trash.
No one! We had him on the show! We had it exclusive because no one was calling!
So you bring up the girl with the buzz cut.
You bring up the girl who looks like the Minority Report oracle to yell at Dana Lash in a CNN town hall.
Don't hate the girl, I'm just describing what happens.
Why is her opinion more relevant than Stephen Wilford?
And by the way, you don't allow emotive reactive adults to determine policy, certainly not as it relates to human rights.
Why would you let a child?
It's one thing that always struck me funny was that the leftists, they want to trot children out there because it's this idea that you can't say no to kids, right?
It's like a little kid with little puppy eyes.
It's like, you can't say no to the kids, right?
But they don't realize that this whole rest of America is like, no, actually, I think what the problem is we need to say no to kids more often.
Yeah, say no all the time. Yeah, no all the time.
A little six-year-old wants a penis.
No. No little Sally.
I want puberty blockers.
Oh, would you deny her that? Yes, I would.
Yes. But she also wants to deny you your fundamental right to self-protection in the Second Amendment.
Would you deny her want?
Yes, I would. Why do you hate Jill?
I don't hate her. I think she's wrong.
Also, that one's kind of stupid.
Doesn't mean I hate kids.
Some kids are wrong. Some kids are right.
What bothers me is when the left decides that the only kids who deserve a voice are those who agree with them.
I do not believe for a second that there is not a single person who would go out there who would counter.
I mean, this happened after 9-11.
It happens after every show.
And here's the thing. I mean, do we have that overlay spent computer from the Young Turks?
Oh, Jesus. This is when they jump.
Look at this. Do you support a federal ban on assault weapons?
85% no on the Young Turks.
To be fair, I think they were probably infiltrated somewhat.
I think they were probably... But it is the single losingest issue, gun control.
Particularly with young liberals.
That's the one issue where they'll break ranks right now.
They are actually probably the most pro-firearm, pro-Second Amendment generation to have come along in a long time.
This is removed from Michael Moore's bowling for Columbine.
This is removed from the assault weapons ban.
They realized how silly it was because now they've been educated.
And you realize how far away they get from, like, arguments that would really actually persuade people.
Cenk is just basically throwing out in his tweet just liberal buzzwords of, you blamed, he said, the person at CPAC blamed everyone but the guns.
It's like, of course.
Yes. Exactly.
Because the guns are the only inanimate object in this equation.
Like, should we have been blaming, like, Haitian families?
Or, like, maybe some, I don't know, Peruvian families?
He said American families. Oh, American families.
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just throw these out there.
They're so out of touch. Were you going to say something there, Gerald?
Yeah. I hate when the left throws kids into the narrative.
Remember when PPAC, they were holding up the signs?
Did you say PPAC? Did I say that wrong?
Planned Parenthood is what I meant. Sorry.
Remember when they did that? They were holding up the signs about abortions and it's like a little five-year-old on the side of the road.
I'm like, why does the left always co-op children in emotional situations to try to make a point every single time?
It is an emotional...
I had someone say, I think it was recently, say like, well, so you think that your right to own an assault weapon is more important than a woman's right to control her own body?
Okay, hold on a second. I can do this too.
Yes, I believe that my right and my wife's right to protect her life and to protect the life and limb of her family is more important than the right of a woman to kill a baby.
Okay. We can play that game.
Stop the press. The difference is we don't trot out kids to make the arguments.
Because we know that kids don't fully understand where rights come from.
Kids don't fully understand what the Constitution is.
Kids don't fully understand anything at this point.
It doesn't mean that you hate children.
If you think they're wrong, or you don't want to listen to them, or you don't want them to determine policy, you let us know, though, in the comments section, what do you think about this?
Do you think it's politicization?
Or do you think it's just giving kids a platform and letting them vent?
Is this healthy? Is it healing?
I will say this. This is the reason they are jumping on it right now.
It is such an unpopular issue.
Gun control, certainly as proposed by the left.
By the way, it's not about bump stocks.
It's not about AR-15s. Look at their proposal.
Look at Hella v. D.C. It is about the fundamental right to own a firearm, period.
Look at the legally dissenting opinion saying you don't have a right to own a gun.
Those were the arguments. It had nothing to do with semi-automatic or rate of fire.
It had to do with the fundamental right.
Do you, according to the Second Amendment, have the right to own a firearm?
That's what it's about. That's what the policy is about.
I don't think 12-year-olds should be determining what that looks like in the future.
But we do have to get going because a very important man, Nigel Farage, coming up.
And then Stephen Molyneux. Home Body Break with Steven Crowder and Not Gay Jared.
The Winter Olympics provide us with a time to watch some sports that we might not otherwise typically enjoy.
It also gives some often underappreciated roles their time to shine.
One of the most underappreciated roles in all of hockey is that of the goalie.
Many consider him to be the lifeblood of the team.
That's why today, Not Gay Jared will be learning the skill of goaltending.
But as with any new athletic endeavor, safety first!
Now even more so than some other athletic endeavors, proper safety equipment when being a goalie in hockey is key.
You'll need the proper shin, elbow, hand, and face protection.
Now the goaltender has to use all points of his body as tools to protect the net, from his feet all the way to the tips of his hands.
As with any new sport, remember to walk before you run.
Get a feel for the net, your space, and make sure that...
Oh my god! Home Body Break with Steven Crowder and Not Gay Jerry.
Sponsored by Mug Club.
Live read time. We only do one per week.
And really grateful, obviously, our longtime sponsor, Walther Firearms.
You can check them out at waltherarms.com.
I know people saying, are you really going to advertise firearms at this point?
Absolutely. We're certainly not shying away from them because they haven't shied away from us.
Listen, you've heard me talk about their firearms before.
We wanted them to be a sponsor for a long time before they did.
Come to the show. Just because we like their stuff.
Love their stuff. I used to be a revolver guy, the lever action you saw.
If you're going semi-automatic with a pistol, as far as well, I guess, obviously revolver.
Let's not even get into that conversation, nor a caliber war.
But if you're going to go with a pistol like this, I really, I can't recommend them highly enough.
So you've heard me talk about them, right? I'm really excited they have a new product.
I've said if you're going to get one firearm for concealed carry, This is the one you get, the Walther PPS. These are all unloaded, by the way.
We take proper precautions.
Single stack, really thin, really easy to conceal.
If you're going to have one firearm, particularly if you just want one for your house, you want a handgun as opposed to a shotgun rifle, the Walther PPQ. Google right now, just Walther PPQ review.
You can't find a negative one.
It's universally agreed upon.
It has the smoothest trigger, which makes it super easy to fire.
We played horse. Yeah.
The shooting range. Yeah.
I had Brand X next to it, and we completely ditched Brand X. Yeah, we completely ditched Brand X very quickly.
So, if you're going to get one home, that.
If you're going to get one to carry that.
Now, if you're only going to get one, period, that's what their new product is for, and I'm really excited about it.
Here, let me show you. Unloaded.
Okay. There you go. See it?
Can they see on the camera? I hope so.
Get back close. Okay. All right.
There you go. This is the Walther PPQ subcompact.
So this is actually a double stack.
It's right between the two. As you can see, it's smaller than the full-size PPQ. Not quite as small as this one, but it's really small.
It's really easy to conceal. In fact, actually, depending on which magazine configuration you have, it is smaller.
Exactly. Yeah, exactly.
This is actually smaller, not as far as width.
But basically, if you're going to get one, this has a 10 plus 11 round capacity.
You get the trigger that you get on the PPQ. You have all the great qualities.
And it's just, again, it's a jack-of-all-trades at that point.
If you're only going to get one, this is the one I recommend you get.
And here's another reason why. Here, really easy to conceal.
I just had it in a holster. I've had it all show.
Or you can change it out.
I have this, again, empty.
Let's just make sure you see. Empty.
Okay. Change it out with a...
I don't know if you can see this. That's a 15.
Full size magazine. And now you've got 15 plus 1 in that same firearm.
So it has the capacity of this, and it's almost as concealable as this.
As a matter of fact, I was asking Walther a long time ago.
I emailed one of the guys saying, could you make a PPQ subcompact?
Because it's so easy to shoot.
It's like it's glued to your hand.
They're not in stores everywhere.
So if you have a dealer near you, again, Walther supported us.
They're a company with balls.
So at a certain point, listen, SIG is great.
Glock is great. Are you picking BMW? Are you picking Mercedes?
Are you picking Porsche? It's a matter of preference.
I like the Walther personally.
I think it's better than any other fire I'm out there.
That's why I went after them as a sponsor, and they've supported this show, and they haven't backed down in times when people have encouraged them to.
So just go to your local dealer. Tell them you want to try the Walther or local gun range.
A lot of times they have them available to shoot.
Really excited. If you only get one, a lot of people out there say, if I'm only going to get one right now, I can only afford one, I would say get their new one.
Hands down. The PPQ Subcompact, because you get the best of both worlds.
And that's really what it's all about.
Louder with Crowder Studios is protected exclusively by Walther and Hopper.
Today I didn't even have to use my AK. I gotta say it was a good day.
All right, our next guest, this is the man.
We love him on the show. He's one of our favorite guests.
When he was there, he put the PIMP back in British Parliament.
Love him. I wish we had him when I was in Canada, parliamentary system.
Mr. Nigel Farage, thank you for being with us, sir.
Thank you. Good to be here again.
Yeah, well, yeah, you sound so enthusiastic.
Remember off-air here, I said, can you hear me, Mr.
Farage? He said, yeah.
I was drinking my water, you know, forgive me.
I don't envy you at all.
At CPAC, I'm sure everyone wants your time.
You're like the only guy there who could probably throw a good party.
Is there an after-party with Nigel Farage somewhere going on?
Oh, you bet your life there is.
In fact, to be honest with you, the last 25 years of my life's been a party because whilst I've been serious about my politics and taking on the establishment, I'm wanting there to be change.
Do you know something? If it's not fun doing it, it's not worth doing.
That's a good point. I do love that life philosophy.
So let's ask, what kind of fun are you having at CPAC? What are you doing there?
What's Nigel Farage bringing as a message?
Well, the real message I'm bringing is, please, please, America, do not judge my country and my people by the mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, and by Jeremy Corbyn, the Marxist leader of the Labour Party, because what we've got here, we've got the left in Britain being constantly abusive about Trump, about America, saying that if the president comes to visit our country, they'll organise mass protests.
And actually, that is not the view of most British people.
You know, President Trump's popularity, his ratings are going up in the UK and indeed around the world.
And he's been to Paris, he's been to Brussels, he's been to Rome, he's been all over the world.
And particularly given...
That America is the biggest investor in the UK. The UK is the biggest investor in America.
Not to mention the fact that President Trump's mother was Scottish.
We want Trump to come to the UK and let's sit down and start talking about trade as soon as we possibly can.
That explains that we went to Ireland.
We broadcast from Ireland.
There was a drunken Scotsman there drinking Budweiser who, we'll hit the censor button, but he came in.
We were talking with these Irish people at the time who did not...
They said they didn't like Trump, but they agreed with his policies.
This one guy came in. He was Scottish.
He said, I love Trump!
We said, really? Will you come over? Because he's a f***ing man!
He was half... It was the one Scotsman in the bar.
And everyone on the live stream would skyrocket.
I want that guy at our party.
Every party. All the parties.
What would you say would be, like, it can't be reflected in statistics, because every Brit I talk with, they go, yeah, listen, I mean, Trump, he says some stuff, and I wish he stopped tweeting, but we wish we had someone like him here.
We're really not that anti-Trump.
It's not reflected in statistics, though, because people often, when polled, say...
No, no, no, no. I'm not on board with President Donald Trump.
Would you say it's a plurality of people in the UK? Would you say it's 50-50?
Oh, look, you know, for many, many times over the last 13 months or so, I've wondered whether I was the only President Trump supporter in the entire United Kingdom.
Because even the Conservative Party, the so-called Conservative Party in Britain, you know, never have a nice word to say about him.
But what I've noticed over the course of the last few months, and particularly with Trump's overseas trips and overseas speeches, you know, take Davos just a few weeks ago, is I think what people are saying is, look, for the British, they find Trump a bit brash.
They find him a bit kind of loud, a bit out there, a bit, if I dare say it, New York.
That's who he is.
And it's a kind of a style of politics that we're not really used to.
But what I'm now getting from people in the UK is they're beginning to say, do you know what?
We're beginning to understand it.
We're beginning to get it.
Here we've got a president who is pro-business.
Here we've got a president who is deregulating.
Here we've got a president who's put through some massive tax cuts.
And here we've got a president that spreads optimism.
Compare that to the leader of Germany, Angela Merkel.
I mean, if you're feeling down, just watch Merkel on television.
In what world is Merkel conservative?
Maybe you can set us straight on Europe.
How does that pass through the filter, Merkel conservative?
Well, I think the truth of it is that most conservative parties in Europe have completely surrendered over the last quarter of a century.
They've become centre parties and the liberal parties and mild socialist parties have become hard left.
Europe itself has shifted considerably to the left.
And a lot of that to do with the influence and power of the European Union.
And that's why what you've got is the fight back.
And in many ways, Brexit was the first example you've seen of that fight back.
That phenomenon crossed over here with Trump winning.
And now what you've got You've got the traditional mainstream parties moving to the left and moving down in the opinion polls, and you've got new challenger parties, quite a lot on the centre-right, who are now gaining in ground.
European politics is changing very quickly, and I can tell you this, that the revolt Oh dear, yeah. The sort of modern day Che Guevara or whatever he is.
Yes, exactly. You mean they find him in South America with a rifle that was never fired saying, I'm worth more to you alive than dead!
And you see his cowardice. Here's the thing.
I have to be careful because I would like him to be on the show.
But he is a man, obviously, huge celebrity in the UK, then carried it stateside.
And it's fascinating to me on his YouTube channel right now where he does this show, no one watches it except two episodes that included conservative guests.
And this is something I find interesting because I know he talked to you very disrespectfully about, you know, your rhetoric.
And he talks constantly.
He was talking with Jordan Peterson about, you know, the mainstream media and the corporate elite.
These are the people you can't make fun of, love.
And I'm sitting there going, hold on a second. How many hundreds of millions of dollars were spent on Creating this brand that is Russell Brand from MTV, from Viacom, from Universal Studios.
The media supported him, didn't support you.
And he acts as though you were a part of the mainstream media establishment and he was rebelling against you.
But now, on equal footing, people don't watch him without the hundreds of millions.
Have you seen that shift too, culturally?
Yeah. Oh, look, you know, one thing I've noticed in the European Parliament That if the pro-EU politicians want to get lots of hits on YouTube, they've got to criticise and condemn me.
And then they get loads and loads of hits.
Exactly. Because people are bored with them and bored with what they have to say.
And I think your analysis is quite right.
Actually, with the agenda he's promoting, whatever Russell Brand says, he's actually campaigning for Goldman Sachs and for the big multinationals and for this undemocratic form of government based in Brussels that is called European Union.
And a form of government, That if Hillary Clinton had become your president, she wanted you to be part of as well.
So thank God for what happened on November the 8th, 2016.
Oh, absolutely. And thank God for paving the way with Brexit.
If Hillary Clinton were president, Russell Brand would probably be on her advisory board.
Can you imagine? I agree.
And a thing that keeps me up at night.
But we would love to have him on the show.
Russell Brent, I know you are busy, Mr.
Farage. You don't have anything specific to plug, so Nigel underscore Farage on Twitter.
We love following you.
We love what you've been doing.
And please stay safe and have fun partying at CPAC. Thanks for making the time good, sir.
I sure will. Thank you very much, guys.
Thank you. God bless. We'll be back. Step on it.
The media says we gotta listen to the kids who are currently eating Tide Pods.
Just for fun.
You Children don't know anything.
Why would we listen to them about guns?
If you have balls with no hair, You will not care what you say to me.
Why are we listening to children?
Are people crazy?
The left thinks we should listen to the kids if it is important.
But the left always says you can kill them if their mom is pregnant and not really feeling it.
If you've never worked a job or had a broken heart If you can't buy smokes at a Quickie Mart I will not listen to what you say to me Why are we listening to children?
Are people crazy?
Children are great, but they don't know anything.
We're supposed to be protected by adults like us with things like guns.
Have a great day.
I'm just the worst. Come on.
We are the worst. Challenge accepted. We can go whiter.
It's like if Steve Jobs did a PBS special to teach kids about hip-hop.
Hey, kids! Hip-hop can be technologically advanced!
Say no to drugs! Here's the U2 track.
Yes, hold on. Let me... Yes, exactly.
Oh gosh, I forgot about the U2 tracks.
I called like five people that day going, did someone hack my phone?
I would never have U2 on my phone.
You follow our next guest on the Twitter at Stephan Molyneux, YouTube.com slash Free Domain Radio.
His new book, well not new, The Art of the Argument dot com.
We did a whole series, a couple of mock debates, so you can go read that.
Stephan Molyneux, how are you, sir?
I'm very well. How are you doing, Steve?
I am doing okay. Now, is that the Chinese collar there?
No, okay. Just all black, so I can't see the contrast.
No, just straight up, Collar.
I thought you were just starting to get into the Eastern mysticism or something.
That always happens when a professor comes in and they choose the Chinese.
Collar, you're like, come on.
I'm getting an F. You can get a Marxist boot print on your ideological forehead.
That's why it's human. That is immediate.
What's funny is... Fucking Peter Joseph's dress for a shot in one of his documentaries is like, oh, here comes the Mao.
Yeah. Yes, exactly. I had a professor that was actually, not a professor, drama teacher in high school.
Her name was Mrs. Gendron.
She actually was a great drama teacher.
She knew a lot. I learned a lot about sort of controlling your body, acting on stage.
But she, one point when she was, I don't remember what we were arguing about.
I think it was maybe Native Americans.
And I just said something, and she said, oh, that's so right-wing!
I was 12, and I went home, and I said, Dad, what is this?
She yelled at me that I was right-wing.
That's how I learned it. It was from my Asian-collared drama teacher.
Yeah, cultural appropriation.
Which segues nicely into our conversation, the civility of the left.
At 12 years old, my drama teacher was berating me.
How have you been this week, Stephan?
Well, I have been enjoying watching your interactions with some lovely leftist, open-minded people who love reason and evidence on campus.
And this is the thing that to me is, I'm not left-wing, I'm not right-wing, but I do enjoy spending time with people who don't call me Satan for having different perspectives, opinions, facts, reason, evidence, data.
This to me is one of the great challenges.
Like, it has become...
Like the religious warfare that plagued Europe for a couple of hundred years, where the difference of opinion is not a difference in interpretation, it's not a difference in source data, it's not a difference in reasoning, good or bad.
It is good versus evil.
To disagree with me is evil, and that is fundamentally a fragmented, It's the holy horror of Christendom when you had the Anabaptists warring with the Swingalians, warring with the other Protestants and the Calvinists and so on, and everybody was trying to kill each other for 300 years, because to disagree was evil.
And it's so weird to me that the largely secular and atheist left is manifesting some of the worst and most deplorable habits of extreme fundamentalist religiosity while all the time claiming to be rational and secular.
First off, I appreciate you attempting to reappropriate the term deplorable.
I see how you fit that in there.
Secondly, if you don't want to be referred to as Satan, unfortunately, you have the gray patch that grows in this way.
You're going to have to dye that. Thirdly, no, I think you are absolutely correct.
Here's something else, too. I'll talk about this later in the program.
To disagree is evil, but acts of evil, as we just saw in Florida, blamed on inanimate objects.
There is a fundamental incapability of accepting that evil exists and acknowledging it for what it is when it's clear, when we should all agree, hey listen, someone mass murdering people, that is evil.
No, no, no. At that point, it's just, it's maybe mental illness.
It's about the gun laws. No, no.
Let's talk about it from evil first, and then let's move on.
But when it comes to disagreeing, for example, male privilege is a myth, well, that's evil.
And that's what I find so crazy about it.
It would be one thing if they just refused to acknowledge the concept of good and evil all around, but they don't.
Oh, man. These people use the dead more than voodoo magicians.
Because what they do is, if people had done their job...
You know, do your damn job and we can have our freedoms, right?
If the FBI had done their job after being repeatedly warned about this guy, I was just reading this morning that one of the families he was staying with told the cops, oh, this guy had guns to people's head if they had done the jobs.
The police had been called 39 times to his house because of elder abuse or child abuse, because of like random horrible stuff that was going on.
There was ample warning.
If those laws had been enforced, shooting a gun in the neighborhood, blowing up chickens with his gun, if that law had been enforced, this guy would have been off the streets.
So the fact that the police don't do their job, the fact that the FBI don't do their job, the fact that 16 child services was called and should have been doing their job, the fact that 16 different bureaucratic layers didn't do their job, well, that means you lose your fundamental rights to own a gun.
Come on! If the government can't do its job, they will do a terrible job of restricting gun ownership anyway, so why should one series and layers of government incompetence lead to another?
Stripping of rights. No, just have them do their jobs and we won't have these problems.
Sounds to me like Stefan Molyneux doesn't care about children.
Doesn't care. That's what it sounds like to me.
Sounds like Satan, Mr.
Satan. Bloods on your hands, Mr. Satan.
Has blood in his hands. Wait, wait.
The mask slips.
Slips. The mask slips.
It's all a front. For 51 years it's been a front.
Yes, exactly. Lay low.
Lay low for 51 years.
And then just come out of the woodwork.
No, it really is...
It's a long, bald con, let me tell you that.
Yes, exactly. I will appreciate your commitment to character.
Daniel Day-Lewis could learn a thing or two.
It is remarkable.
Of course, I think you answered your own question.
They don't want to acknowledge the fundamental incompetence of government.
And of course, they have a penchant for stripping people of actual fundamental human rights like that of self-preservation.
And I will say this. Listen, you know, people talk about disagreeing.
I've disagreed with some people on the right in the sense that a lot of them go too far and say, well, oh, it's a mental health issue.
No, no. It's a violent past issue.
It's a past of violent transgressions because...
We don't want the government to be able to say, well, you know what?
You took Xanax as a teenager.
You can't purchase a firearm now.
I know plenty of people who have mental health issues.
And one thing, too, I don't want people out there to not pursue mental health assistance for fear of losing their rights.
That's something that's lost. And I know the right is looking to counter the left, and so they sort of simplify it.
Well, hold on a second. Let's look at this person, like you said, 39 notifications, including violent actions.
And by the way, this should all be on a background check.
Just got my new Walther background check.
Asked you any felonies, any violent misdemeanors, or domestic abuse.
It just wasn't reported.
This is why I like Trump. He just sidesteps all of it.
Just goes after bump stocks. Bob Stux.
Because belt loops is too hard to say.
Here's the funny thing too.
I don't like this mental illness stuff too because mental illness, let's just say it's a little bit of a fluid term.
I mean, how many psychologists and psychiatrists out there who think that Trump is mentally ill?
Right. And would love to take away his rights.
How many boys stuck in terrible girl-centric schools with really biased anti-boy female teachers a lot of time?
And that bias has been very clearly recorded.
It's like, oh, you have mental illness.
You must now take amphetamines because you're not fitting into a terrible school that hates you for being male.
And it's like, I don't know.
It's such a slippery definition.
What is mental health? I mean, under the Soviet Union, you were mentally ill if you didn't love communism.
Clearly you needed to have force tranquilizers shoved up your nose because you weren't adapting to an insane environment.
Yeah, yeah. It's way too slippery a term.
Like, oh, having trouble taking away people's rights?
Well, we'll just slap an arbitrary label called mental illness on them and next time.
You know. And the problem is the right concedes that ground because they want to stand constitutionally in the Second Amendment as they should.
They go, yeah, yeah, hold on, mental illness.
They go, no, hold on a second. We want people to be mentally healthy.
We want people to get help if they need help.
And we don't want them to be afraid to do that for fear of losing their rights.
Like you said, I mean... I have family members who lost two parents very quickly, and someone prescribed them antidepressants.
Now, that's a bad doctor.
It doesn't mean that this person is bipolar, certainly not with comorbidity.
Does that prevent them from being able to ever defend themselves?
This is something that a lot of people throw out, and they try and act as though it's common ground.
Like, oh yeah, let's agree, mentally ill people.
It's not okay to say hashtag not all Muslims, but then hashtag all mentally ill people.
There's a big spectrum, as it were.
And also, many people who claim to be on the spectrum who really aren't.
Maybe that's the silver lining there.
People will stop claiming to be on the spectrum. Like, I have Asperger's.
Well, now you can't buy a gun. No, no, no, wait!
I'm just an a**hole! I'm just a a**hole!
I'm just a a**hole! I just cold-hearted.
Well, here's the thing, too. Everyone should understand this, that mental health is going to become the new Nazi.
Because you know how that game worked over the last couple of years.
You hate Nazis.
Yeah, yeah, Nazis are bad.
Yeah, I hate Nazis too.
Nazis are the worst. You agree with me?
Yeah, yeah, Nazis are the worst.
Psyche, you're a Nazi!
And so that is why we don't want that.
So it's going to be like, yeah, mentally ill people shouldn't have guns.
Okay, take that argument.
That's fine, right? Oh, everyone on the right is mentally ill.
No guns for... You know how this definition works.
They get you to agree with the worst thing around, and then they expand that definition to include everyone except themselves.
That is an old con that's been going Yeah, exactly.
That's a good point. And when people say, oh, that doesn't happen, it can happen very, very quickly.
And it's also why I don't want President Trump or his administration to have the ability to determine that, just as I wouldn't want Barack Obama's administration.
I want the guy in office who doesn't want the job, who wants to do as little as humanly possible.
This knee-jerk reaction.
And by the way, this is why this happens right in the States.
I know up there in Canada, you guys don't have the rights of protecting yourself, unfortunately.
You use a Lego gun and it instills fear in a criminal, and all of a sudden you guys can beat Gun ownership's pretty high in Canada, man.
You may be less than fully informed of that.
But anyway, go on. Well, not in Quebec, where I was from.
In Quebec, it was insanely difficult.
We knew one person ever growing up who had a handgun, and it was like, oh my god, it's in the magical mystery closet.
Yeah, but they speak French, so...
This is true! This is true!
We have French art, and we're still smarting over the French Revolution, so clearly it takes a little while to get over that jumpiness regarding all of that.
That's true. And we can classify the French as mentally ill, certainly French Canadians, on the spectrum.
But yeah, no, it is remarkable that this is, they jump.
They pounce right now because it is a wildly unpopular issue.
I don't know if you saw the Young Turks. I thought it was hysterical that they put out due support and assault weapons ban, and 83% of their audience said no.
Yeah. I think?
I don't trust them on a lot of things.
Certainly not when it comes to determining my rights.
You learned how to make chocolate milk yesterday.
You think you're informing policy today?
I don't think so. I don't think so.
So, Stephan, though, the question to you is, why don't you care about children?
Well, this comes down to this question of root causes.
And I always find that the left loves to play whack-a-mole with effects, which ends up with your rights being whacked away.
And they refuse to deal with root causes because a lot of times the root causes are people who vote for the left.
So what are some of the root causes around school shootings?
Well, one thing that's in common of the entire list, I think it was 26 people that CNN put out of school shooters, only one of those 26 school shooters had been raised from birth by his biological father.
Maybe we found something that might be a bit of a clue, which is fatherlessness.
Maybe a lot of these kids, of course, are on these psychotropics, these SSRIs, these mind-altering substances, which have labels about how dangerous they can be in terms of suicidality, homicidality, uncontrollable rage, and so on.
We've got these kinds of issues.
And we've got alienation within neighborhoods, neighborhoods fragmenting to some degree due to diversity, a loss of neighborhood trust, a loss of community trust, The schools are getting worse and worse, and bullying is a big, huge problem in schools that administrators rarely ever deal with effectively.
You've got families fragmenting all over the place.
You've got a sense of nihilism because kids know how much they're being born into, like $100,000 worth of debt.
Just to be born, $1.7 million worth of unfunded liabilities.
There's a lot of root causes and root problems to do with this, but the left doesn't want to deal with that because the left wants to fragment the family, so they don't ever want to point out to the negative effects of fragmenting the family.
The left loves single moms because single moms vote for the left.
They vote for big government because they're not out there in the marketplace for the most part.
They're sucking up government goodies.
So the left doesn't want to alienate their base, but unfortunately it's a lot of their base that's contributing to this stuff, so then they make it a right-wing issue to take away guns because they don't want to deal with the root causes they've supported for the last 50 years.
And I think, listen, we do have to get going here, but I think you boiled it down.
That root cause, the main cause before anything else, like you said, aside from one, is fatherlessness.
And that's where you can get to correlation causation.
People go, well, they're on these antidepressants.
Well, a lot of them are because they're mentally disturbed because they weren't raised with a father.
So before you get down the trail, boom.
Like you said from birth, no dad.
We've talked about that. It determines whether you're likely to graduate from high school, go to college, have a successful marriage, have successful relationships, have healthy relationships, go to college, end up in prison.
All of these things is daddy in the home.
Thank you, daddy, for coming by.
That is Stephan Molyneux, theartoftheargument.com.
We appreciate you, sir.
But again, if you don't want the Satan label...
The beard. Maybe I do, maybe I don't.
We'll leave that in the maybe.
Sweet 28.
This is a good day to pop.
Blue eyes, I'm gonna kill it.
Viewer discretion is advised.
Bad girls, what you want?
What you want?
What you want me to do?
When they show up, they come for you.
Oh, my god.
Bad girls, bad girls, what you gonna do?
What you gonna do when they come for you?
Bad girls, bad girls, what you gonna do?
What you gonna do when they come for you?
Feminist Cops is filmed on location with the brave, strong women of law enforcement.
All suspects are innocent until proven guilty in a court of law.
Hi officer, is there a problem?
Yeah, do you know how fast you're going there, sir?
Uh, no, I'm sorry, I don't...
Jeez. Do you let anyone on the force these days?
Excuse me, I met the PT requirements.
I did a 30 second dead hang.
Okay, I'm sorry, just you're really small.
But, I mean, you're very pretty. Watch it!
I can do 40 push-ups!
Are those male push-ups or girl push-ups?
It is 2018, you pig.
I can't believe you would ask me that.
Are you a natural brunette?
Are you a natural jerk?
Okay, that is it.
I'm gonna go get my supervisor.
Is your supervisor male or female?
Oh, you wait here.
You just wait here. Bad girls, bad girls.
Whatcha gonna do?
What you gonna do when they come for you?
Don't know why I actually hold my breath.
I don't know. Not healthy.
I could exact that whole thing.
Not healthy to do. It's funny, you know, yesterday's show, for those who aren't Mug Club members, we had a full show, of course we do a full show every day, ladderwithcudder.com slash Mug Club, and I was exhausted, even though I had slept more.
Last night, two hours of sleep.
Feel fine. Really? Keep my mule?
I don't know, I guess. Eyes go cross-eyed?
Fall out of hell? They go back.
I don't know. I don't know.
Thank you so much to Stefan Molyneux and, of course, Nigel Farage.
Next week, we have, I know we have Jim Norton, Paul Joseph Watson, Chuck Woolery, David Barton, and, oh, the lady, Maria Del Rosso.
Ooh. Who really disagreed with me.
Feminists who really did not like my Change My Mind.
That's one thing that's pretty funny to me, the Change My Mind segment that we did.
There were a bunch of articles out there, and we'll call everyone out by name soon enough, so that's okay.
We'll invite them all on the show to come on one by one.
They'll get 30 minutes each. But everyone wrote about the tweet, the picture, which became kind of a meme, and some of them were pretty funny.
But they never showed the video. No.
This man, Steven Crowder, who's a far-right troll, decided to get people upset on campus about male privilege, and he got his s**t dragged across the internet.
Oh, is that what happened? Roll the tape.
I decline. It's the same thing that happened with the pro-gun one.
We're going to do another one of those, by the way.
Remember, they were like, can you believe he just went and he just tried to get a rise out of students?
Did you watch the hour video where we sat there and talked with students?
I find that... I was busy.
Isn't it ironic now where they go, it's time to have a conversation.
That's all we do.
All we do is have a conversation.
Constantly. Constantly. An open invitation to most people.
Of course, there are some exceptions.
There's going to be one guy with an egg profile on his Twitter right now.
Two followers. You said you didn't invite anyone.
Picture me. Picture me.
In a wool blanket. You don't want to find me.
You don't want to find me. But we've been having a conversation this whole time.
But, like, it's novel. To the left right now.
Well, they hate it. I mean, that's why they tried to shut it down so fast when they were there with their little feminist gender studies professors creating a safe space.
Yeah, that's another thing. From your words.
They talk about male privilege.
Articles out there saying, hey, this is an example of male privilege that Stephen Kreider is able to set up a tent on campus.
Really? Really?
It's male privilege that we had to secure a permit, set up a table ourselves, get assaulted sometimes, and often get kicked off despite getting the proper paperwork anyway?
That's male privilege? All right.
I think you've conceded some ground here.
Our male privilege sucks.
So we have a lot going on next week.
I think one thing that's really lost, and I was up last night.
It was a big reason I couldn't sleep. We talked about this last week, where you line up on rights.
But I think something that we were just touching this with Stefan Molyneux, something lost in all of this, the new dialogue, having a conversation, as you see with CNN in the town hall, and everyone talking about gun control and mental illness and maybe it's the medication and...
We're losing sight of something fundamental, and that's creating this moral equivalency of violence.
Violence, they are not morally equivalent.
What Steven Williford did with his AR-15, there is no moral equivalence to what this horrible person who we won't even name on the show did in Florida.
That's not something you hear people talking about a lot.
When you just blame the inanimate object, when you blame a pill, not only do you lose sight of what evil is, You're doing a fundamental disservice to young Americans, teaching them that all violence is equal.
That's the problem I've always had with no tolerance policies in school.
A bully could be beaten on you.
This is what it was at Centennial High School.
And you shove him off and you both get suspended.
You both get the same sentence.
You know, there's a film out there right now I was talking about with Boss Rutan this week called Ice Guardians, I think, on Netflix.
And they're talking about hockey enforcers.
And we have some good family friends who are enforcers in the NHL. So this is something that's been going on.
They've been trying to get rid of fighting and hockey for a long time.
And something they've realized, actually, there are more concussions.
Only 5% of concussions in hockey came from the enforcers, right?
Sidney Crosby now has had more concussions and more injuries.
He's the best player in the NHL, for those who don't follow, in one season than Wayne Gretzky had his whole career.
Why? Because of Semenko, because of Marty McStorley.
Back then, he wouldn't be traded without Marty McStorley, who was an enforcer.
Now, what was Marty McStorley's job?
Just to be violent, pretty much.
He was a good hockey player, but it was, you rough up Wayne Gretzky, he hurts you.
Why? Because there were bad people on the ice, cheap players, often Swedes, as Don Cherry says, Swedes, cheapest players there are on the bench.
They would cheap shot Wayne Gretzky because they'll take a five-minute penalty.
They'll take a fine. What they won't take is a beating from Semenko or a beating from Marty McSorley.
In the media, what they used to do, they did this with hockey.
We follow this a long time.
My dad's a big hockey guy, of course, in Canada.
They would show someone taking a cheap shot, like cross-checking or elbowing a guy in the face, and go, look, we need to remove the violence in hockey.
But those were never the enforcers.
The people who did that were always the cowards.
And you see more of them now because there's no retribution.
There's no accountability. Sure.
So in removing accountability, the point here is that guy elbowing, that guy cross-checking, that is an immoral person willing to commit an act of violence, and he's going to take the fine, he's going to take the five-minute penalty.
The only way to stop that person, that person's immoral, evil-violent action, is with an equally virtuous violent action.
Violence never solves problems.
No, sometimes it does solve problems.
The boy responsible for this shooting committed an act of evil.
Okay? An evil deed through a violent act.
It is about the action and the intent behind the action.
It's not just about the object.
It's not just about the upbringing.
It is about his actions.
Your actions define you.
And in this case, the motive matters.
That's why we have laws.
That's why there's murder first degree.
There's manslaughter, which sounds far worse, but it's actually far less.
We blame the gun. We blame mental health.
We don't want to blame our moral shortcomings.
We don't want to examine evil.
And the truth is, there can be virtuous violence, and there can, just as surely, there can be peaceable evil.
Violence was used to liberate us as a country and to liberate others from slavery.
Let me ask you this. When we're talking about violence, have you really thought about evil, good, evil, good, violence, peace?
What's more virtuous? Violent liberation of slaves?
Or... Peacefully submitting to enslavement.
Violent protection of your women and children or peaceful surrender of them to evil men.
I think a lot of people, they're pointing to proactive evil violence and they blame the utility because it allows us all to avoid our passive acts of evil every day.
Particularly in the media.
You commit media, particularly the entertainment industry, we know this, very, very peaceful, very peaceably you commit acts of evil when you don't blow the whistle on systemic sexual assault or pedophilia.
You commit evil when you look away when a man is abusing his wife, as happens rampantly in Hollywood.
Some of you commit evil when you look away when some other man is abusing your wife, like every single man who knew it was happening with Harvey Weinstein.
You commit evil very peaceably every day when you turn away from someone being hurt.
We all do it. Or from someone in need.
But it's an evil that only you know.
Because you're evil. The evil is in you.
It's in me. We all have evil in us.
This goes back to the fundamental question that Dennis Prager talks about.
You're evil. I'm evil.
It is in us. But truly evil people, everyone has evil in them, but evil people, people who allow it to overtake them, will do anything to avoid looking in that mirror.
They want to believe that they're essentially good.
That's the big irony. Evil people believe they're essentially good.
Generally speaking, good people acknowledge evil.
That they could become evil people.
Bad people essentially believe they're good even though their actions speak otherwise.
So what do they do? They blame the tool.
Don't show me the mirror.
It's the AR-15.
It's the bump stock. It's the Second Amendment.
It can't be me. I read again recently when we were doing some research.
I think it was Sean Penn. And he talked about destroying all of his guns.
One of his girlfriends, I think, maybe took him and turned him in some art piece.
And he said, I realized it was time to destroy all these cowardly killing machines.
Really? Really?
Cowardly? Guns have souls now, Sean Penn?
Maybe you're a coward.
Really, Sean? What about a woman home alone?
And a rapist breaks in.
Is she cowardly? To want to protect herself?
These are the talking points. Oh, man, man with a gun.
Little dick. What about a woman?
Protecting herself from rape. Man trying to get in.
Coward? Get an alarm system.
Doesn't have the money for it. Now he's in the house.
Get a dog. She's allergic.
He's up the stairs. Because you're an evil prick.
She can't have a cowardly killing machine to stop from being forcibly raped.
A lot of people are blaming the AR-15.
As we know, many of them have never touched one.
A lot of these people are in the AR-15. They're not afraid of it.
They're not necessarily afraid of the AR-15.
That's something, too, a lot of conservatives say, no, they're not afraid of it.
They're afraid of evil. They're probably afraid of themselves a little bit.
They should be. What would they do with an AR-15?
How would they wield that power?
Most people aren't afraid of being powerless.
I don't know where this quote comes from. I think it was, I don't know who said it, and I don't want to be quoted as misquoting somebody else.
You can see I said it. Yeah, exactly.
I'll just say I'll attribute it to Naki Jinn. Most people are not afraid of being powerless.
They're afraid of being granted power.
They're afraid of being more powerful than they realize.
That's why most people willingly give up power every day.
People willingly give up their power every day.
To their employees. To their government.
Just give me my 9 to 5.
I'll take security over freedom.
Just take the taxes and take care of my retirement.
I don't have to make my own decisions.
They give over power all the time.
So what would these people, what would many Americans who've never touched one, what would they do with a killing machine?
Would they save lives?
Like Stephen Williford?
Would they take them? That's the ultimate question that we're asking here.
That's where people line up on this issue.
That's what determines how you answer this fundamental question.
Because throughout history, humans have virtuously and violently both saved lives.
And throughout history, we've peaceably, passably signed death warrants for millions of innocent people.
Peacefully, mind you. This conversation isn't about bump stock.
It's not about AR-15. It's not about Zoloft.
It's not about the potential. of what an AR-15 could do.
It's not about the potential of what modifications someone could make to a gun.
It's about the potential of evil in every single human being and how to safeguard against it.
And that's what it comes down to.
Do you believe, like the hockey enforcer analogy to bring it back around, do you believe that human beings inherently have an evil strain in them?
Not all people are evil.
Not all people are good. Most people have some of both.
Do you believe that? Is that reasonable?
Can we find common ground? Do you believe that most people have some of both in them, that yin and yang, good and evil?
And do you believe that that evil can warp and grow out of control?
Do you believe every single human being is capable of evil?
How do we safeguard against it?
Do you believe that the only way to safeguard against people who are willing to cheap shot, who are willing to commit massive acts of violent evil, Are other people willing to commit acts of virtuous violence?
Or do you want to be the person who just peaceably surrenders your rights?
Who peaceably commits an act of passive evil by looking away?
That's a decision you have to make.
That's what this conversation is really about.
