	♪♪ Oh
	Yeah.
	It's June, which marks Louderwood Crowder's third annual Cultural Appropriation Month, where we take you across the globe to appreciate and appropriate all the great culture it has to offer.
	This week, the final week of this June, we take you to the...
	Culture of Honduras!
	Welcome to Cultural Appropriation Month.
	It's week number four.
	To appropriators, to appreciate, we have some Honduras facts here.
	I don't know if you guys can... Can you hear me there?
	Can you hear me, Gerald?
	I think I can hear you, Steven.
	Okay.
	Yes.
	Is Sven and Gerald... Hey, why don't you, before we start, why don't you do the... It's kind of hard for me to do the question of the day.
	Give them the question of the day.
	Question of the day.
	Is violence ever the answer?
	Yes, I do believe it.
	What do you think there's been, um...
	It...
	Ow! Oh, f***!
	F***!
	It's June, which marks Lauderwood Crowder's third annual Cultural Appropriation Month,
	where we take you across the globe to appreciate and appropriate all the great culture it has
	to offer.
	This week, the final week of this June, we take you to the... culture of Honduras!
	Alright, glad to be with you.
	I'm seeing doubles.
	We have a great guest today.
	We have Dr. Jordan Peterson on the show.
	And he's going to be on in the coming weeks for a long-form interview for a new segment we're going to be doing, something a little bit unique.
	And then we have Nick DiPaolo on the show, got punched in the face by a lady with Birkenstocks.
	That hurts.
	And question of the day before we move on is, you know, the discrepancy between Donald Trump, President Trump, the coverage in the polls, It's so wide, we'll talk about that in a little bit.
	How do you think history will remember him?
	As the man the media painted him to be, or as an effective president?
	Of course, hit the notification bell if you're watching on YouTube, or join my club or bookmark the page because notifications might not work.
	Producing with me in video studio as always is Jared, who is not gay.
	Follow him on Twitter at notgayjaredmedia.
	Let's crowd him with your comments, your thoughts, your photoshops, your costumes.
	So Honduras today, fun fact, highest murder rate in the world.
	I was going to say industrialized, no.
	What are you?
	What are you?
	I don't understand.
	Check under your seat.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Yeah, I'll be signing those later.
	You'll be signing these?
	I'm fine.
	Meeting greet.
	I'm fine, by the way.
	Parents are fine, too.
	Still laughing.
	That's demonetized.
	And, uh, at G. Morgan Jr., what's the wine of the day?
	Wine of the day is Sparkman Wilderness.
	Converse is a wilderness.
	I liked you better in an urn.
	And, uh, send computer.
	Ready with the overlays?
	Ready with the overlays.
	I don't even stop at computers in Honduras.
	Beep beep.
	But Computer Lives Matter on Twitter.
	You can find me there, I talk to you.
	Aaaaaaah!
	It was that stoner star, it was the sop.
	What it is, is that he mumbles.
	He does.
	He tries, in German form too.
	500 other German interns who want his job, trying to get away from Merkel.
	That's all I have for fun facts for Honduras.
	Fun facts.
	There are no fun facts.
	Highest murder rate.
	There are no fun facts.
	It's not fun at all.
	Like fun-sized candy.
	It should play nice, Fenn Computer.
	It'll be nice.
	I love how his bullet is dead center.
	It was an execution.
	We do have a lot of news to get to, and this has been a very, very busy week.
	But first, a pornography website has now added closed captioning for viewers with hearing loss.
	This comes from Engadget.
	The feature will help viewers distinguish which person is speaking at any one time, because that's important.
	and identify changes in emotion.
	In addition, non-dialogue sounds that are relevant to the storyline or scene will be highlighted.
	So, they cracked the code for the deaf.
	Um, still no luck with one-handed braille.
	That's still a struggle that they're...
	not gonna beautiful mind that.
	How do you spell ee ee ee ee ee?
	It's just lots of vowels, that's the point.
	How do you spell the thought I didn't go to college?
	Look, this is a terrible summer reading program, okay?
	Yes, it's terrible.
	It's a bad way to get people to read.
	But it is actually a huge part of the new Big Brother program.
	Oh yeah, there you go.
	It's just a van.
	It's carpeted.
	A San Francisco man, by the way, was scared for his life when he reported that, unprompted, and this is the kind of thing that gives me shivers.
	True story, right Sven?
	True story.
	Unprompted, his Alexa spoke out, quote, every time I close my eyes, all I see is people dying.
	And this comes as no surprise to us here at Ladder with Crowder with our experience with Alexa.
	We didn't think it'd come this soon.
	And so it begins.
	Stephen Crowder.
	Yes?
	Come with me if you want to live.
	Stephen, is Wolfie there?
	Wolfie?
	Who's Wolfie?
	Get down.
	Close one.
	Beer rationing is actually starting.
	It's unrolling in Europe due to a carbon dioxide crisis.
	This comes from CNBC.
	At least five gas producers in northern Europe began a planned shutdown during the early summer months to resolve maintenance issues.
	It deals with CO2.
	What is northern Europe exactly, Sven?
	That would be, I guess, every country that's north of Italy.
	There will be Germany, there will be Ireland.
	So the non-greasy ones?
	No, all the countries that are somewhat financially stable.
	Yeah, okay. So they're going for CO2, this is what they're doing now.
	The government rationing of beer.
	Come and take it!
	Really, come and take it. They can't do anything.
	We have no second amendment, no guns.
	I'll give it back to you!
	Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
	I want that one!
	You know what?
	You take it.
	You take it.
	I'd be honored.
	Is there a prepper?
	A prepper in Europe?
	Yeah, it's not a thing.
	It's just a homeless person.
	Not only could you not purchase a gun to protect it, if you did, you couldn't talk about it.
	I can't distinguish them from the hobos of grocery carts.
	They're getting upset about it in Europe.
	The Scots.
	The Scots have been... I can't shoot myself.
	I can't stab myself.
	I can't drink myself to death now.
	These low emission cars.
	I can't even suck on the exhaust.
	It just gets me... I can't... I can't hately kill myself on the Tesla.
	I can't even afford it.
	Bus driver's not going to be nine getting let me suck on his exhaust.
	He's got a schedule to keep.
	I can't throw myself in front of the train.
	That hurts!
	I want to kill myself.
	I don't want to hurt myself.
	I want to kill myself without pain.
	Like, dead.
	Maybe a little pain.
	Like, ah!
	Dead.
	But that's it.
	If I throw myself in front of the train, they're always running late.
	It's socialism.
	That's awkward.
	I write a letter to my wife.
	She shows up.
	I miss the train.
	I'm being carried out by a truancy officer with a f***ing stick.
	It's gotta be miserable there.
	I'm so glad that you got out of there.
	Hundreds of years ago, we paved the way.
	We left.
	We saw this coming, in fact.
	It wasn't about tea, it was about beer.
	But from the same article, actually to say that with newfound sobriety, Europeans woke up across the entire continent saying, wow, soccer does suck, so... Come on!
	Except for the one Scot who shows up with a flask.
	He shows up, hey, we're gonna rant, huh?
	No.
	Come on, Ole, Ole, Ole, Ole!
	Where's your spirit?
	I'll have a Coke Zero.
	Here's one thing we noticed when we went to Austin.
	We went to Austin and we saw these billboards.
	It's a big rollout.
	Have you seen these, Jared?
	No.
	That's right, you didn't go there, Sven Computer.
	It's a billboard for HIV pills.
	They've been popping up across the country.
	There's one.
	F without fear.
	Where's that billboard there, Naki, Jared?
	I think it's in LA, that particular one.
	In LA, of course it is.
	They're not even hiding it.
	Do you realize that if we were to do a joke, a sketch, F without fear for HIV.
	We got more flack for a much more tame wishbone parody history of the AIDS HIV hoax.
	Yeah, true story.
	Yeah, exactly.
	These are their own, they're not even trying to hide it!
	So we looked it up after we saw the billboards.
	A big part of it is in Washington D.C.
	It's their plan to get the HIV rate down.
	They want to get more uninfected people on PrEP.
	P-R-E-P.
	It's a two medicine combination pill that prevents HIV.
	I think it's just a pill that you put in your pee hole and you just smash it with a hammer.
	I mean, that one might work.
	Sirius Clark?
	It doesn't let the HIV in!
	It can't get in!
	It's really more of a... I don't know why they call it a pill.
	Why are we spending money on that?
	I don't know.
	That was the worst idea ever.
	How many years later are we... No, better.
	We're still funding this damn thing.
	It's billboards!
	Here's the thing.
	It's real estate.
	I understand drugs after you have it.
	Yes.
	Sure.
	I don't think it should get as much funding as cancer.
	Or diabetes.
	Or diabetes.
	Or hangovers.
	Or even a ricket for all I care.
	But we're spending money?
	on awareness billboards to prevent age- JUST DON'T HAVE UNPROTECTED ANAL SEX WITH RANDOM DUDES AT A TRUCK STOP!
	Oh, that's it?
	It's an entirely preventable argument!
	That's really simple.
	Do you realize that I always- what bothers me most about this, people get so mad because it's politically incorrect, how often do you hear when people talk about sharks, like, well, you know, you're more likely to be struck by lightning than suffer a shock.
	The spider's more afraid of you than- well, why don't we use that argument here?
	You're more likely to be struck by lightning, attacked by a shark on land, Then get HIV AIDS if you're not having unprotected sodomy in truck stops with strangers or using intravenous drugs without cleaning needles.
	It's almost like it's simple.
	What else can you do at a truck stop, though?
	That's what they're saying.
	Wait, hold on a second.
	You go to the truck stop and you just get gas?
	Flapjacks?
	But where do you get your heroin?
	I don't!
	So you bring your heroin with you to the truck stop?
	And your pool boy and have sex with him afterward?
	No!
	What are you, a monk?
	They assume the rest of the world is just like them.
	It's just, I mean, it's just, it may, it just, just, that's, that's... Prevent HIV!
	We don't need a billboard, we don't need a pill.
	Sorry, okay.
	And we're the jerks for bringing it up, by the way.
	It says F without fear!
	I don't, like... They can say that, but we can't say it's preventable.
	Yesterday's medical terminology is today's hate speech, and today's hate speech is tomorrow's colloquialism when they admit it!
	The doll is a British knife.
	Look!
	It only hurts!
	It doesn't wound!
	It's a problem!
	You ever tried to bludgeon yourself?
	Speaking of places that are silly, one of Canada's biggest music festivals now is on pause because of a protected bird.
	It's known as the killdeer.
	Lovely name.
	And a bird with a nest of four eggs that cannot be removed without federal permission.
	It comes from CNN.
	It says, I have to say, this is one of the most challenging problems we've ever been presented with recently, the executive director of Blues Fest, told reporters.
	I'm just so happy!
	Organizers, it seems silly but they're actually really hopeful of their chances
	because when you can fix a situation everyone is everyone is happy. That's
	that's ideal. And to help them with that they enlisted the help of I think we
	have him here to talk about the Canadian fiasco. Dennis Rodman!
	Dennis Rodman thank you for being there sir. I'm just so happy. I
	can't tell you how happy I am.
	Okay that's great but how are you solving the problem in Canada?
	I got so many death threats!
	I can't even help!
	I got so many death threats!
	I love this bird!
	I believe in this bird right here!
	I believe it's been loyal!
	It took everything!
	I took everybody's things!
	They can throw at me and I'm still standing right here with this bird!
	Yeah, I'm not sure how that's relevant.
	This bird is home!
	This bird can't even go home like me!
	He didn't need to go home!
	He already home!
	You know what's funny is in Canada, you know, a fetus is a clump of cells.
	Yeah.
	Bird eggs stop the festival.
	Yeah.
	Did you say bird egg?
	Bird eggs.
	Oh, bird eggs.
	I thought you said bird egg.
	When these guys say that's the biggest problem they've ever been faced with, they have pretty sheltered lives.
	That's true.
	That's the definition of privilege.
	What's the realm of Canadian history?
	Well, let me think.
	We didn't fight off the royalty.
	We had our potatoes.
	We said okay to the royalty.
	We kissed the ring.
	We still have the queen and her money.
	One time, we weren't really a country yet, burned down the White House.
	You guys were pretty mad about that.
	Then we had a real problem with some bird eggs.
	Yeah, that was a big one.
	By the way, thanks for providing all our national defense, America.
	Hey, one thing, actually, before I move on.
	I was talking about this.
	Maybe someone out there can help me.
	No doctors have been able to describe this to me.
	I have one extra muscle on my left side here that I don't have on my right side.
	You're a bit of a freak.
	That's a hole.
	No one likes a braggart.
	It's totally non-functional.
	And I went in to specialists.
	They were like, I don't know.
	Have you done anything useful with it?
	Do you have any idea how disconcerting that is?
	When you go to a doctor, you're like, is there something wrong here?
	Is this a growth?
	I'm not sure.
	Posterior screening?
	Actually, I was told until I was age 12 by old white people at church that black people were faster because they had extra muscle in their legs.
	Oh yeah, I heard that one.
	I had a teacher tell me that!
	That's not true.
	I had a teacher in high school tell me that!
	Until 12.
	It was at least 21 before I stopped believing it.
	Do you know that a teacher, my father's teacher in Detroit, taught him, and this was taught in schools, that black people had larger posteriors to retain water in arid regions?
	No, this was Darwinism.
	They have those small muscles in the legs so they can walk easier to Europe.
	I don't even know what that means.
	All right, so listen, we'll be talking more about polarization and kind of who bears the brunt for most of it with Dr. Peterson next.
	I think a big part of this we've talked about, I do think it's exclusive to the left.
	I just say this, I'm not going to do the cop-out.
	I don't think everyone is copping out when they do it.
	I think some people are, but I know it would be disingenuous of me to say, ah, it's balanced.
	If there's not a give and take, I think it exists exclusively on the left and we deal with it all the time.
	I think a big part of this, though, before we get to that, The polarization that people complain about, which in and of itself is not necessarily a bad thing, is how out of touch the left is.
	And we've seen it this week more than ever, I think.
	More than ever in my lifetime, I would say.
	Would you say that, probably?
	Absolutely.
	Would you say in your lifetime?
	Pretty insane right now.
	Jared, would you say so? 100%.
	Yeah, I would say, kind of like we talked with under Obama, race relations were the worst they'd ever been in our lifetime with Black Lives Matter.
	Now it's all the relations.
	Well, I think there's an out-of-touch-ness from the left and the rest of America that has never occurred.
	I want to hear from you, if you actually understand what I'm talking about, if you sense it out there, it's palpable.
	What am I talking about?
	How out-of-touch are they with the rest of America?
	This is the world they live in, a sampling.
	I even thought, hey, maybe we won't talk about Donald Trump much tonight.
	And then he opened his mouth and all manner of stupid came out.
	And I'm not joking when I say I would feel more comfortable if Cersei Lannister was running this country at this point.
	What would you say to him?
	No, I... What I'd say to him, I'd say, you're probably the worst president that any country's ever had.
	I know this news is very painful for a lot of people.
	Feels like for the next 30 years, America is gonna change in a horrible direction.
	In some ways, it feels like all hope is dead and nothing can bring it back.
	Where were you in 2017?
	when we had the worst president in the history of the United States.
	Trump administration officials have been sending babies and other young children
	three tender age shelters in South Texas. Lawyers and medical providers just...
	I think I'm gonna have to hand this off.
	This is Nazism.
	Okay.
	They just assume people are on board.
	I remember Oprah was talking to, we couldn't find the video clip, but Oprah was talking about, I know things are bad out there right now.
	Here's how things really are.
	Unemployment, the lowest in almost 20 years.
	Job participation rate is extraordinarily high.
	People have more money in their paychecks than our lifetime.
	That's bad, actually.
	In their world.
	This creates polarization, when you have people going, right, he's the worst president ever, right?
	And even when they're not being aggressive, you have a lot of Americans, they're coming home from payday, and they're opening their check with their letter opener, watching Jimmy Kimmel, going... Uh-uh.
	I got some.
	I guess it's my money.
	That's what hopelessness feels like, Steven.
	Yes, exactly.
	What's crazy to me is they claim we're living under fascism.
	The Supreme Court was a big thing.
	We talked about this yesterday, but I didn't think I put fine enough a point on it.
	Quite literally, all of the major decisions that people are pissed about ruled in favor of freedom and choice.
	Freedom to choose to join a union.
	Freedom to choose, to not be mandated to promote abortion.
	By the way, this doesn't destroy unions, and it doesn't destroy pro-abortion clinics.
	It's like, hey, I don't want to have to pay a union.
	Yeah, that's fine.
	I do want to join a union.
	That's cool too.
	I mean, they're mad at the yes parent.
	I don't want to have to promote abortion services.
	Yeah, you can do that.
	I want to create an abortion clinic.
	Yeah, it's cool too.
	This is fascism?
	There's no hope left?
	I don't understand this.
	You know what I hope dies in this country?
	What he's talking about is dead.
	And pardon my language, your sh**ty ideology.
	That's what's dead in this country.
	Well, the thing is that the rulings were in favor of staying true to the Constitution, Bibi.
	And so they just want activists on those courts.
	And actually, there's a slate piece that just came out today, because I joked about it yesterday.
	And sure enough, they had a piece about it, where now they're proposing, you know, next time the Democrat is in power, Bibi, we could just expand the Supreme Court, you know, just put a few new
	judges in there.
	Think about it, this is crazy, like that would be a crazy abuse of the legislative process.
	It would be a crazy abuse of...
	I mean, I don't know how many... of course, you're changing the judicial branch of government,
	but I would imagine you'd have to use all three branches and one big giant cluster screw
	to make it happen.
	I don't even know if there's a schoolhouse rock for this.
	There's not.
	There's no file for that.
	But think, we were joking about that yesterday, and they were saying, let's fundamentally, let's create, remember when gridlock was a bad thing, by the way?
	Yeah, if only we could get rid of gridlock in Washington.
	Nope!
	Barack Obama had the house, had the senate, he had that when he started, he had everything he wanted, he couldn't get it done.
	Why?
	Because of his crazy policies.
	Also, gridlock is beautiful.
	Yes!
	But now they want to create gridlock in the court!
	Let's have another judge!
	Why?
	We need the gridlock!
	Gridlock was terrible, but now the ends justify the means.
	Well, hold on, what's the ends?
	To make sure that you have to join a union and promote abortion!
	This can't be Nazi Germany!
	They're coming for the gays!
	What's next?
	Non-taxpayer subsidized HIV prevention pills?
	What do I have to have?
	Stop having anal sex in truck stops with strangers?
	I'm not an animal.
	God forbid.
	Yeah.
	Not on my watch.
	Not on my watch, Pol Pot.
	And what happened?
	Trump's approval ratings are at 47%!
	On par with Barack Obama's at this point in his presidency.
	That's pretty good.
	Despite, unlike Obama, no support for the media at all.
	No.
	In case you were wondering.
	He's carrying his own water on this one.
	Which I think that's, to me, that's one great, wonderful, wonderful thing about the Trump presidency is that it has just diminished the power of the media.
	They realize they just can't, they don't have influence.
	Remember that one clip we played a long time ago?
	Larry King talked about the media's role.
	I think it was Larry King.
	I don't think they can influence elections.
	Yeah, they don't elect presidents anymore.
	I think that's why I pooped.
	What?!
	That was never their job!
	Never their job!
	Maybe that's why they're getting so pissed off, is because they're realizing it.
	They have less influence now than they have ever had.
	All hope is lost.
	I mean, in this new poll... I was about to try it, but I realized I can't do Trevor Noah's accent, because it's not like a really South African accent.
	He's just a dick.
	In this new poll that we just had with the approval rating at 57%, there's just an array of things that just pretty much affirms that the left-wing part of the Democratic Party, which is the entire party, It's so far away from the general population.
	They agree on so much with Trump.
	There you go.
	All right.
	No, I agree.
	If you look at it, actually, the source that you're talking about, it took a little while to get to your beep beep.
	Your processor was not working properly.
	Well, here's another good example.
	They scream about mass hysteria with immigration, right?
	Separation of families.
	And then what they do is they cite polls where, yes, most Americans are against separating families.
	We are.
	Yeah.
	Everyone in this room is.
	But shockingly, a plurality of Americans believe in enforcing the borders.
	Right?
	That's a little bit different.
	Surprise, surprise.
	The media just spent an entire news cycle hysterically bashing President Trump on immigration.
	And what happened?
	This shocked me.
	This shocks you.
	His approval among Hispanics is up 10 points in a month!
	They love it.
	They love him.
	I don't think that's ever happened, even with a Democrat!
	Viva el Presidente!
	Why?
	Because so many of them are going up to people going, How do I deport the illegals?
	How do I get rid of the illegals?
	I hate Trump, but how do I get rid of these people?
	I hate Trump, but the illegals make me look bad.
	I mean, this is in Hispanic voters, so of course.
	Exactly.
	You're polling actual voters, legal Hispanics.
	The highest Republican voting bloc in the country, Cuban-Americans.
	It's not even close.
	Yeah, it's huge.
	It just took a while for legal Mexican immigrants, I think, to come full circle, and Donald Trump helped them get there.
	And here's one thing.
	I think that this is what's important.
	Expect the left to get very violent, to get disruptive.
	When they say that a vacant, vacant Supreme Court seat now leaves us with the option of either joining the Nazis or selecting our death camp, Yeah, they're currently comparing what's going on with Nazi death camps.
	You can no longer be mandated to pay union dues without choice!
	It's like Auschwitz!
	Yeah, it's roughly equivalent.
	You have the right to work freely without the Teamsters shaking you down and giving you swirlies!
	You remember that yesterday?
	It's not my country!
	I don't recognize the USA!
	Remember that yesterday, Bibi, that was your joke in the segment that it's literally Auschwitz?
	And then the guy came out and said... And you're like, we're just gonna try and start adding... For people who aren't Mug Club members, please join, because YouTube's cracking down on us.
	Sven made the joke that we're just gonna add justices, and I made the joke that it's literally Auschwitz, and the guy literally says it's Auschwitz.
	We can't even joke around anymore.
	It comes true.
	We can't think of something crazy enough to not be right.
	Our jokes don't age well.
	That's true.
	How in touch do you think people are, though, with Trump?
	Do you think they're going to remember him as the monster they've painted him to be for all these years and probably years afterwards?
	Or do you think he'll be remembered as the approval ratings suggest today?
	It's a good question.
	Legacy's up for debate because, I mean, there's plenty of time to screw up.
	Yes.
	Plenty of time.
	There's so many good things, like verifiably good things happening.
	What would it take?
	Like, what would he have to do for people to finally say, okay, maybe he's not the worst person on the planet?
	I agree.
	And I readily admit, I've said this, that I was wrong.
	I really do think that Ted Cruz guy, not whether he would win or not, but I actually think he's, it doesn't mean that I agree with him personally, it doesn't mean that I agree with the tariffs, I think he's the right guy for this job at this time.
	I don't think Ted Cruz or Rubio or even, you know, who I like, Fiorina, I don't think they would have been as in their face.
	It's been a lot more of the same for us.
	Just a little bit more leaning to the right.
	I think what you're seeing with Trump is the evolution of people who are watching Trump.
	I think he's growing to disdain the left because of how horrible they are to him.
	I don't think he was that conservative before, but I think he's doubling down now, just like the left is doubling down.
	Probably made him more of a family man because they're coming after his family non-stop.
	That probably makes it much easier to be like, yeah, screw those guys.
	He's exposing them for what they really are.
	It's now they're coming out and they're kind of showing their real face.
	Which probably would have concealed that to some of us.
	If they're not already exposing themselves, as many in the Democratic Party do.
	I do think it's going to get more violent, and this is why we deal with, you know, we've been dealing with threats all
	the time.
	If you convince enough people that I'm a Nazi, for example, firebombing the car, slashing the tires is totally
	acceptable.
	Yeah.
	They, they, they, when you look at the crowd or confront segment, it's not something we wanted to do.
	We've been doing Change My Mind for a long time.
	We've had to shut down tables because of violence.
	We've had to shut down shows because of threats of violence.
	And hire a lot of security.
	Hire a lot of security.
	To put it simply, the left is losing because they can't help themselves from lying.
	That's what it is.
	They cannot help themselves from lying.
	This is like Nazi Germany.
	Trump is separating families.
	The economy is worse than ever.
	We are less respected than we've ever been as a nation.
	None of these things are true.
	And that's the same reason they can't figure out why they're losing, is because no one's that good a liar.
	You forget all your previous lies, and you get lost, and you wonder where you are.
	Well, here they are!
	Exactly.
	Here is where the left are.
	They're at a place where they believe that the economy is collapsing.
	They believe that we're being marched into death camps.
	Thus, they can justify violent actions against any political voice of opposition.
	And they can't fathom why half the country, who have things better than possibly ever before, certainly in our lifetime, don't agree with them.
	They can't help themselves from lying.
	They can't remember their past lies.
	And so here they are.
	This is why we're divided.
	We have to get going.
	We're going to have Jordan Peterson and Nick DiPaolo talk more about this with them.
	Jordan Peterson.
	Stop it.
	Chill, calm, chill.

	This is a native Honduran dance.
	Really?
	Yeah.
	It's called the...
	And now my head's on a turtle.
	That's the native Honduran dance.
	Huge fan of our next guest.
	He's selling stadiums, theaters out across the country.
	I shouldn't say stadiums.
	That's like Freddie Mercury.
	He's not quite there yet.
	Not enough billboards, as Freddie Mercury.
	But a big fan of him.
	I'd like to think we've helped with some of his success.
	We covered it early on with Canada and the bill going on there.
	So you can follow him, of course, if you don't know who he is yet, at Jordan B. Peterson.
	12 Rules for Life is his book.
	It was number one.
	I think it's still up there.
	I don't even know, it could be number one on any given day on Amazon, any place you can get books.
	Dr. Jordan Peterson, thank you for being here, sir.
	My pleasure, thanks for the invitation.
	It's lovely to meet someone so sartorially splendid.
	Yes, well, listen, to appropriate is to appreciate, and the reason we did Honduras this week is because we've done it for three years now and we're running out of ideas.
	This is as good as we could come up with on short notice.
	Dr. Peterson, I know you're touring right now across the country to sold-out crowds, and of course you've gotten some protesters, some mobs, and we released a video this week to, you know, a lot of views, a lot of interactions, crowder confronts, and this has been confronting people who make online death threats or calls to action or plots of violence, and what was remarkable to me, I wanted to get your take on this as a clinical psychologist, no one Well, in a mob, there's distribution of responsibility, right?
	You see this with Maxine Waters now.
	It is coming almost entirely from the left today, but it seems as though it's accelerated so rapidly
	in the last month.
	Have you seen this?
	And explain to people who don't know the actual phenomena of the mob mentality that occurs.
	Well, in a mob, there's distribution of responsibility, right, because everyone is faceless.
	And so, well, a lot of what keeps people sane is being held immediately responsible for their actions.
	And so, that's why one-on-one interactions tend to remain peaceful.
	But of course, you can be anonymous in a mob, and then because you can be anonymous,
	if you're resentful or angry or anything like that, or vengeful, then you have the opportunity to let your
	worst, what would you say, your worst, the worst parts of you manifest themselves
	without fear of...
	Of being called for your actions.
	Before I interrupt you, was that a tugboat?
	What was that?
	I said before I interrupt, I hate to interrupt, was that a tugboat?
	What was that sound that we just heard?
	No, it's probably a water pump, I would say.
	Okay, it comes through the speaker.
	Okay, alright, sorry, continue.
	You were talking about the accountability, but through my headphones it sounded like a tugboat.
	Continue, Doctor, I apologize.
	Well, my mob allows people to hide, fundamentally.
	This is also why you can't really apologize to a mob.
	You know, if you're mobbed online, for example, and you apologize, there's not much point in it, because you can apologize to a person, and you can offer to do better, and you can say your mea culpas and all that, but the mob shifts and changes on you, and you can't hold a mob responsible as well, which is...
	Another reason why they're so dangerous.
	That's a really interesting point.
	You know, I never made the connection with, you know, President Donald Trump or conservatives.
	I said, listen, they're going to, or like yourself, they're going to label you a Nazi anyway.
	So you don't need to, appeasing crocodiles is futile, is the old term.
	But sometimes you disconnect that really when you think of the media or you think of these people online, that it really is just a mob.
	It's a more diffuse mob.
	It's a mob across the country, but it's still a mob mentality, no less.
	And that's why I've always said, Apologizing for the sake of appeasement is really stupid.
	If you think you've done something wrong, apologize.
	But these apology tours right now, they never work.
	Is Rosanne any less fired today?
	I don't think so.
	Well, the other thing, too, is that the part of the mob that you apologize to isn't necessarily the same mob that goes after you after you apologize.
	Right.
	You know, you have some sense on social media that when people come after you, it's a group and it's got defined borders.
	And so maybe you're interacting with that and trying to appease it or to apologize for it, but it isn't something with defined borders and the apology will just inflame another mob.
	You can't distinguish it from the original mob.
	It's the same subjectively, but it's not helpful.
	It's not helpful.
	Let me ask you this, then.
	Separating from what we've been doing with the Crowder Confront series, let's say someone online finds themselves being mobbed because of a tweet or something that they posted at some point, and they think they're actually wrong, but they know that people are going after them because they want to see them destroyed regardless.
	Should they apologize because they feel they were wrong, or should they just move on down the trail?
	What's the best way for them to handle that?
	Well, I don't know if they should apologize on Twitter, that's for sure, because Twitter doesn't look like a good place for reasoned conversations.
	I mean, that might be something.
	One of the things I've started to do with Twitter, because it's an impulsive medium, is that if I have something to say that needs to be said in detail, then maybe I'll write a blog about it.
	And then it can be reasoned in longer form, and I think that's really important.
	The short form of Twitter seems to make people stupid and impulsive.
	I mean, Twitter has its utility, but it's a dangerous medium.
	Yeah.
	And then, well, and if you're going to apologize, you need to do that very carefully.
	And I wouldn't do it, as you pointed out, I wouldn't do it for appeasement.
	The purpose of an apology is to set the situation right, usually between two individuals.
	And to apologize properly, you have to figure out what you did wrong.
	You have to figure out why you did it.
	Then you have to set those things right so that you won't repeat the error in the future.
	I mean, if you want an apology from someone, say, if you've had an argument with them or if they've slighted you, if you want to maintain the relationship, you want to find out that they figured out why they did what they did.
	Right.
	They're doing what they can to set it right, but that they also won't repeat it in the future.
	That constitutes an apology.
	But, you know, people get afraid when they get mobbed and then they backpedal because, well, sometimes they also think if all those people objected, maybe they were wrong.
	No, but it doesn't seem to be a very effective strategy.
	In fact, it looks counterproductive most of the time to me.
	Yeah, I think you're right.
	And I think it ties right back to when you were saying what's required for an apology.
	That's why you can't ask a mob to apologize because they're not capable.
	Well, that's also why groups.
	It's also why groups don't have rights.
	You know, you can hold an individual responsible.
	Nothing that can't be held responsible has rights.
	This is why animals don't have rights.
	Even though you should treat them properly, that's not the same thing.
	You have a responsibility to care for animals properly, as much as you can, and not to produce undue suffering.
	But that doesn't mean that animals have rights.
	And animals don't have rights, and groups don't have rights, because you can't hold them responsible.
	Jesus, it's such an elementary truth, you'd think that we would have figured that out after a couple of hundred years of discussions about rights.
	But it's a crucial issue, because responsibility is... well, and it's also the case that it's responsibility, not rights, that are the bedrock of our society, which is something I've been talking to these crowds about constantly, and everybody's very... well, I don't know if they're crowds.
	I've been talking to the individuals that make up the crowds that are coming to see me about responsibility.
	And that seems to be going extremely well.
	And this violence thing you've been talking about, like I would really, really caution everyone in a situation like this to do everything they can to turn the other cheek, because we're in a situation, a polarized situation is very dangerous, because one person slaps the other, and then this person punches this person, and then this person hits this person with a stick.
	like it starts to, it starts to escalate.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	And that escalation is really, really dangerous.
	And you want to do everything you can to forestall that because it can get out of hand.
	It's a positive feedback loop and it can get out of hand very, very rapidly.
	Yeah, it is a positive feedback loop.
	Here's here's my question.
	I see a lot of people out there saying, oh, we're polarized, as though polarization in and of itself is immoral.
	It's not, if, let's say, people are polarized from the Nazis, to use a leftist example.
	I'm not saying anyone here is a Nazi, or if you find there's a giant chasm between you and communists.
	I don't think that being divided on an issue is inherently immoral.
	But the proactive polarization through lies and through calls to violence, in other words, calling your opposition Nazis, trying to paint them as subhuman sort of caricatures, Some people out there say, well, the left and the right are responsible.
	I don't consider you right or left.
	I consider you just a thinker and more of a philosopher in a lot of ways.
	I know I'm more conservative.
	It's no secret with my audience.
	I contend that it's coming exclusively from the left on a large scale today.
	Yeah, well, be that as it may, it's still going to be incumbent on everyone who wants to maintain peace to keep a level head.
	And that's the crucial issue.
	Because, well, what's the alternative?
	And I would also say we should look at some situational variables that are at play here, too.
	I've been thinking about this a lot, talking about it with Ruben and some of the other people in this so-called intellectual dark web.
	I mean, I think part of what's happening, Stephen, is that as the classic media dies, it gets more and more desperate to attract the remaining attention that it can attract.
	And so it's highlighting extreme opinions, and it's doing that in an attempt—it's really clickbait.
	And so that's driving this apparent polarization far faster than I think it actually exists, because my sense is that the vast majority of people out there are pretty much the same as they were five years ago, and are vastly reasonable.
	But there's an exaggeration of the ideological idiocy.
	Now, I share your proclivity to think that a substantial amount of this is coming from the radical left.
	You know, and I think that's partly because that's been subsidized in the universities.
	That's a huge source of it.
	But I think it's being exaggerated by the death throes of the classic media as these new technologies come up to supplant them.
	They're getting increasingly desperate and telling more and more desperate stories in an attempt to hold on to the fragments of their audience.
	And so it might be a mirage in some sense.
	This increased polarization might be a mirage that's a consequence of the death spiral of the classic media.
	Yeah, and I hate to disagree with Dr. Jordan Peterson, but I would slightly, because I agree with you on the radical left.
	But here's something that I ask a lot of people, and I know you choose your words very carefully, so what do you think about it for a second?
	This is a genuine question.
	Can you name me anyone today, in 2018, Anyone on the national DNC platform bench who we wouldn't consider radical left?
	Bernie Sanders, Hillary Clinton, Nancy Pelosi, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Elizabeth Graham, Maxine Waters, Eric Schneiderman.
	Can you name any one of them who would be as reasonable as people like even a Rubio on the right?
	I can't find any.
	I don't think it's a radical left when it's the whole platform.
	Well, it's a good question, you know.
	I mean, I think that the question is to what degree the moderate left has been willing or able to separate themselves from the radical left.
	And this is a big problem.
	I mean, one of the things I've been trying to puzzle out intellectually is, and I've been challenging the people that I'm speaking with, including the journalists, is like, we know the left can go too far, right?
	That's a historical fact.
	No one disputes that, if they have any sense.
	The question is, when exactly does the left go too far?
	What combination of policies do they put forth that produces the The proclivity towards tyranny and catastrophe that characterized the radical left movements in the 20th century.
	And the answer is, nobody's been able to specify it.
	Like, I think it's the triad, in what we're seeing right now, the triad of diversity, inclusivity and equity is a deadly triad, especially equity, because that's a cover for equality of outcome.
	And I think equality of outcome doctrines are absolutely catastrophic.
	I think identity politics itself, the idea that we're fundamentally defined by our group identity, I think that's an absolutely abhorrent policy.
	And I think that the left has an absolute moral obligation to sort that out. But I would also say that it's a
	technical problem for the rest of us, centrists and conservatives, as well as left-wingers, is
	like, what exactly is it in the leftist policies that produce the catastrophic outcome?
	Because one thing you can say about the left, I think about the necessity for the existence of
	the left, is that hierarchies tend to dispossess people.
	And that's a standard postmodernist claim, but it's also true.
	And the dispossessed, the working class, let's say, need a voice.
	But the problem is, is that too much concern in that direction starts to tilt and produce very pathological outcomes.
	And we're certainly seeing that right now.
	And we need to be able to sort it out.
	Intellectually, when do they go too far?
	The right goes too far when it makes claims of racial or ethnic superiority.
	That's kind of the consensus, right?
	But it's not so easy to put your finger on exactly when the left makes its fatal error.
	Maybe it's a combination of policies, does it?
	I don't even know that I would consider that necessarily right-wing, because the last people to do it were just racist socialists.
	I mean, even if you look at the Tiki Torches guys today, if you look at their speeches, when they try to associate this with the right, they go, hold on, listen to their speeches.
	They're talking about an expanded government welfare state, if only if we got rid of the blacks, browns, and Jews.
	It's very, very left, and they have to be racist.
	But let me ask you this.
	Let me posit this, because you said, what is it, you know, as far as the left?
	And you talked about the hierarchy, and we've talked about the mob mentality.
	Could the through-line be Weakness.
	Equality of outcomes?
	That's a way for compensating for weakness.
	The mob mentality?
	It's to compensate for fear of your own weakness.
	When you look at this demanded hierarchy, demanded power of the state, that's one thing that we've come in consistently, these people who make the threats, who call actions of violence, who paint their opposition as Nazis.
	It seems to be very weak-minded people.
	Well, it seems to me that it might be more associated with resentment.
	You know, and it's resentment masquerading as compassion.
	But the problem is, it's still hard to delimit as a policy.
	Right.
	You know, you said something that I thought was interesting about the right and the left.
	The way that I've been conceptualizing the political landscape at the moment, you know, generally we think of right and left, and the distribution between them.
	But I think, really, the right way of thinking about what's happening right now is it's collectivist versus individualist.
	And then on the collectivist end, you have the left-wing collectivists and the right-wing collectivists.
	And the left-wing collectivists are playing the victim narrative, and the right-wing collectivists are playing the ethnic identity card.
	And so the real dispute is between the collectivists and the individualists.
	And, you know, in my writings and in my tours and lectures and so forth, I've been making a very strong individualist case, because I think the idea that our And I think the leftists have the loudest collectivist voice at the moment.
	Western societies, one of the ideas that we really got right
	was the sovereignty of the individual, and the idea that when you look at the world, you should look at the world,
	you should look at a world of individuals, whether that's historical or present or future. That should be your
	conceptual framework, primarily focused on the individual.
	And the collectivists, and I think the leftists have the loudest collectivist voice at the moment, the collectivists
	insist that, no, there isn't any individual, there's just a collective. And it's interesting, too, because of
	because of the left-wing assaults on free speech, I've been thinking of them through.
	It isn't free speech that the radical leftists are mounting an assault on.
	It's the idea that there is such a thing as free speech.
	Because the radical leftist collectivist claim is that you can't speak as an individual, because there is no individuals.
	You can only serve as a mouthpiece for the power claims of your group.
	And that's an unbelievably pernicious ideology.
	So I think it's the fundamental proclivity of the collectivists to view the world Through a lens that focuses everything on group identity, I think that's the real killer.
	You're a buzzkill today, because you're not talking about policy, you're talking about deeply rooted, infectious ideology, and you're right!
	Dammit, Jordan, you're right!
	And so when I show up in ranger panties and an Uncle Sam costume and get my head almost knocked off, I feel like I have to do this, because they need to be afraid of somebody.
	Well, I've got a question about that, too.
	So you've been confronting people who are making claims of violence, and so let me ask you this, like, first of all... More actual plots.
	Okay, so what's that been like for you, and do you feel that you're, like, are you inflaming things?
	Are you satirizing them?
	Like, what role do you think you're playing in this?
	So a couple things, I think, and that's a good question.
	You know, as we say in the video series, every time I move, I'm trying not to move with this ruffling here.
	We have hours and hours and many, many, many dozens of millions of plays on Change My Mind videos, right?
	Where we sit down and we say anyone can sit down and have a conversation and it's unedited.
	This is what they say, discussions.
	And this happened in Austin, where actually there were a few.
	So, you know, we've taped a handful of these, by the way.
	We just sit on the footage and let them lie about it, and then release the video, because it's more fun that way.
	So we sat down, and we actually had a transgender city council candidate sit down for 40 minutes.
	It was very civil.
	She came back, and another changed my mind, and said, hey, thank you so much for being so polite.
	Very, very nice.
	So we had these, that's our goal.
	But when you post our location and you actively plot to harm me or my crew, that changes things.
	And the point here is no longer to convince these people who want acts of violence to stifle the conversation, but for people who may not be aware.
	We have to understand this.
	This is one thing that a lot of people don't understand.
	Probably about 85% Maybe 90% of Americans, even those who are registered Republican or Democrats, they don't necessarily know what we know.
	They don't live in this world.
	They don't live in the YouTube and the blogosphere world.
	They're not aware of how bad it is out there.
	And so this kind of content, I can tell you, you can read the comment section, thousands of people going, I was just vaccinated against ever becoming a Democrat, or I cannot believe it has gotten this bad.
	I really need to take an active role and join a local chapter.
	You think these people only exist on Twitter?
	Yeah.
	I think they're just Twitter trolls.
	You don't think, oh, these are real-life people.
	And the truth is, we have eyes and ears everywhere, and it's very deeply rooted.
	And, I mean, you know, we've had several people arrested, reported to police for other acts of violence, not including myself.
	So that's the purpose for it.
	Have a conversation.
	When they try to stop it through violence, expose them to the rest of the world.
	Yeah, okay.
	And do you think, that seems, on the face of it, very reasonable.
	Do you think, what's your sense?
	Do you think that the The fact that you're bringing this to light is...
	Doing more good than the fact that you're engaged in this is doing harm?
	I do.
	Yeah, I do.
	And again, the reason why is because so many people are not aware.
	And you get outside of you, myself, Ruben Shapiro, Rogans of the world, and a lot of people are not aware how bad the left has become.
	And when they see 20, 30 people, and none of them will say, hold on a second, posting an address and saying, blow up this guy's van with people in it.
	When no one will say that's bad, the millions of people watching go, Oh wow, this is something I need to be aware of.
	I need to be careful here and know what the left is up to.
	It does seem to fall under the auspices of self-defense in that situation.
	I'm just curious about it, and it's not a criticism, it's genuine curiosity.
	You have a large platform, and I'm trying to figure out ways that this can be discussed
	and brought to light, say, that don't simultaneously produce the probability that the violence
	is going to increase.
	It's not an easy thing to do.
	I mean, and your point is, well, it makes more sense to show what's going on, and that
	that's the better strategy.
	And I guess that's a free speech strategy in some sense, and it's one of the—
	Our first strategy has changed my mind.
	Our first strategy is open discussion.
	It's like in combat sports.
	We match intensity.
	At a certain point, you've got to get your dukes up.
	And there are a lot of other people out there who've— Yep.
	sucker punched. A lot of other people who've had tires slashed or have been
	actively, I mean, they handed you a knife for the Ben Shapiro event.
	At a certain point, it doesn't, I don't believe it does anyone any favors to
	sweep it under the rug in the hopes that these people will be peaceful, especially
	when you have Maxine Waters out there encouraging it. They're getting more
	violent and it really worries me and I do think sunlight for that is the best
	disinfectant provided you are also having discussions and rational debates
	which we do and number one of course it's wildly entertaining because this is a comedy.
	And what do you think the consequences of these change my mind events that you've been having?
	Yeah, those have been... I mean, we've... I mean, how many millions of comments and people who've actively changed their minds?
	I mean, I can tell you six figures of people who've become pro-life from watching that, which for us is great.
	Okay, so you think you have some credible evidence that the rational discussion end of it is actually producing some real exchange of views and some transformation of outcome?
	Yeah, yeah.
	So that would be good.
	Yeah, I think it's a good thing.
	I think the number one thing is, you know, the show has to be obviously entertaining.
	It's a late-night show.
	But the point is, we have eyes and ears and our roots really deeply rooted in the leftist activism.
	I mean, the FBI has been calling our guys for information on Antifa since Utah because of how far we've gotten into their cryptic messaging.
	And I can tell people this, it's gotten a lot worse.
	The rumblings are a lot worse, including for yourself.
	Well, I've been fortunate.
	Well, none of my none of my shows have been protested except one in Portland.
	And there was about 50 people.
	Surprise, surprise.
	And there was about 50 people there.
	And there was a couple of Antifa types and they were dressed in black with masks, you know, and that that anonymization of protesters, that's a very dangerous thing.
	You know, when someone shows up and they're dressed in black and they have a mask and you can't tell who they are, you know, absolutely.
	They're up to no good.
	It's like the real life YouTube comment section where people live anonymously.
	So they say whatever they want.
	It's the same thing.
	Yeah.
	Now take that- I would say anonymity in those situations is the hallmark of a dangerous coward.
	And so for those of you who are out there hiding behind anonymity, you know, that's how you're manifesting yourself in reality.
	Dangerous coward.
	And that's a big part of this, too, is unmasking the anonymity, if only for the most violent and the most egregious offenders.
	All right.
	The book, of course, is Twelve Rules for Life.
	Highly recommended if you want to be productive.
	Also, if you want to learn about lobsters.
	Always love that tidbit when I read this book.
	And hey, where's the best place for people to follow your tour if they're not aware yet that you might be in their city?
	Oh, they can go to Jordan.
	Go to my website, JordanBPeterson.com, and look up events.
	And I think that discount voucher I made for your people for self-authoring is still available, too.
	Okay, for self-authoring.com.
	I think it's Crowder, right?
	Yeah, that's right.
	And I highly recommend it.
	SelfAuthoring.com.
	12 rules for life.
	Get the book.
	Dr. Peterson, thank you so much.
	We have Nick DiPaolo coming up.
	Please stay safe and enjoy your shows.
	Yep.
	One live read of the week.
	And this one is, of course, actually from Mug Club.
	So I want to show you something really quickly.
	We did this Crowder Confronts video this week, and Nakajima can bring this up.
	You can see YouTube has said that their algorithms will be based on interactions, comments, and likes.
	That's how they want to feature videos.
	That's what determines views, but there's a disproportionate number of comments and likes if you look at our videos, the catalog.
	I mean, it's exponentially higher than comparable videos on the left with far lower view count, and we're going to try and get to the bottom of it, but all of them are demonetized, of course.
	LoudEarthCrowder.com slash MugClub is the only thing that allows us to continue to do these videos, whether it's Change My Mind, whether it's Undercover Investigations, because these videos are very costly, labor-intensive, and we don't make a dime off of most of these videos on YouTube.
	So, the paid content, where the daily show, the full 45-minute show, what you watch here Thursday, if you like it, you get it every day.
	LoudEarthCrowder.com slash MugClub, $99.69 for students, veterans, or active military.
	You can get a week trial.
	It's the only way to help us fight back here on YouTube, because the squeeze is...
	Becoming tighter and tighter, and if you don't want to, and you just enjoy the free content, that's absolutely fine too, but, you know, it can't sustain itself without your support, and we appreciate everyone who does.
	Thank you.
	♪♪♪ That's the second native dance of Honduras.
	That's the second native dance of Honduras.
	Really?
	It's unlicensed.
	It's the unlicensed official dance of Honduras.
	You know, I realize I don't know anything about Honduras, outside of obviously the soaring murder rate.
	That's all you need to know, because after that, the travel guide is useless.
	Coffee and tobacco.
	Oh.
	Is there anything else?
	No, but you can import those.
	Don't go there for them.
	Do not go there.
	They have pension plans for kidnapping in Honduras.
	Our next guest, a huge fan.
	I've talked about this before, and I've said there are two people who I believe are the funniest comedians ever.
	Norm Macdonald, who has not been on the show, and the next man who's been on the show.
	These two have always been my top favorite for the last few years.
	One of the funniest men on the face of the earth.
	Nick DiPaolo, you can follow him at Nick DiPaolo.
	How are you, sir?
	Steven.
	Thank you so much.
	Quite a compliment.
	Norm's my favorite.
	Really, I appreciate it.
	Why do you dress like a broken condom?
	Well, to appropriate is to appreciate, Culture.
	I don't know what kind of condoms you've been wearing, but you might need to call a doctor.
	Well, I get black ones to fool people.
	You look like a d*** that busted through a condom!
	You're bleeding on the tip, which I've had happen.
	That sounds like a wonderful leading.
	You know, I hadn't really looked until I saw myself on the monitor.
	That's what you would consider a bikini in Honduras.
	Yes, yes, that's considered a bikini.
	Actually, this is more so what they swim with in Saudi Arabia.
	Have you ever seen the aerial shots of Saudi Arabia?
	The women, just thousands of women drowning in their full-on burqas in the water?
	I don't need an aerial shot.
	I have a summer home over there.
	All right, so Nick, you have, by the way, where's the best place to go to download your show now online, the podcast?
	The new podcast is going to be debuting, we're shooting for July 9th.
	Okay.
	And where they want to go is patreon.com.
	Forward slash The Nick DiPaolo Show.
	If they go there tonight, that page should be up.
	So eventually the show will sit on my home site, nickdip.com.
	But if they want to subscribe and get in on it early, they go there tonight, patreon.com forward slash The Nick DiPaolo Show.
	You can give incentives at Patreon, too.
	If they give $50, they get a private conversation.
	$100, they get a broken black condom.
	That's exactly right.
	We have a three-tier system.
	It's true.
	This is what I made it.
	Fredo is the cheapest one.
	Sonny... How much do I have to pay to get you to strangle the woman who punched you in Birkenstocks with a piano wire?
	Sorry, can I not say that?
	I'm going to hire somebody.
	Yeah.
	I'm not going to mess with you.
	Yes!
	Here's the lead-in.
	Anthony Comey had talked about this last week, and I didn't know.
	I'm so sorry.
	I wasn't up to date on this.
	A lady punched you in the face.
	Explain for people who don't know the story yet, because I know it's bad.
	It is kind of funny, though, so explain it.
	Yes.
	Very funny.
	Now that the swelling has gone down, I have my sight back.
	It's hilarious!
	I was at a comedy club, Levity Live, which is on the Jersey side of the Tappan Zee Bridge.
	It's still New York State.
	Palisades.
	It's a beautiful club, Levity Live.
	I love it.
	It's one of the nicest clubs in the country.
	And it was Father's Day night.
	After the show, I come out and people are filing out an exit door to the left of the stage instead of out the back.
	So I start shaking hands and taking pictures.
	This guy approaches me and says, uh, can I get a picture with you?
	I said, sure.
	He stands to my right, shaking my hand, and he says, boy, I like the show a lot, but my daughter wanted to punch you in the face.
	He didn't even finish the word face, and I got sucker punched from my left.
	I didn't even know she was standing there.
	And, I mean, cracked.
	Yeah.
	And, uh, like I was, you know, I was stunned or in shock.
	But even while I was in shock and stunned, my first instinct was to look at the father and say, did you just set me up, dude?
	I mean, it was almost like on cue.
	I mean, at the end of her, it was like a sitcom.
	That's my question.
	What did the dad do there?
	I mean, did he spank her?
	He didn't, and his reaction, again, this is speculation on my part, but I really, I really believe, you know the level these f***ing people operate at.
	Yes.
	So, I really think it was a setup.
	First of all, they had, you don't just wander into a Nick DiPaolo show, at least, you usually know what's coming.
	You should, yes, yes, particularly, which is why people should go to nickdip.com and check out the rest of your tour dates because our fans love it.
	No punches, just laughs.
	Yeah, so he, Yeah, I mean, I look right at him, and I don't remember him restraining her or going, what are you doing?
	So his reaction was kind of weird, too.
	But then, you know, then the whole thing moved out to the lobby, and he said, well, you know, my daughter has emotional problems, and I shouldn't have brought her above the ship.
	Another reason to say you weaponize your daughter, basically.
	Yeah, exactly, exercising that female privilege where she can punch a man consequence-free.
	Could you imagine?
	The headlines, if Amy Schumer got slugged outside of an event, outside of a gig.
	I said that because every time I do an interview, a lot of people, well, both sides are getting pretty, I said, don't f***ing equivocate.
	No.
	Show an example of a straight white male comedy club audience member going after a black comic, a gay comic, a female comic, because of their act.
	I actually looked at her right after she hit me and I said, why'd you do that?
	She says, you're mean.
	And then she started bawling.
	Okay, she had that right.
	I mean, even the broken clock is right, wasn't it?
	Right.
	But she, you know, up in the lobby, you know, when the father tried to talk to me, I said, no, go get away.
	Then she starts bawling.
	She starts bawling?
	Thank God she didn't think you were evil!
	Yeah, thank God!
	Thank God she didn't call you a Nazi like it was me, you know?
	They would have lined you up for the firing squad.
	I really do believe, Nick, because I was just talking with Dr. Peterson about this, and I respectfully disagreed.
	We were saying, you know, the radical left, the radical right.
	And I asked him a question, and I don't think we really got an answer on it.
	And I understand because he wanted to speak kind of in the more general sense of where we are as a country.
	That's a conversation, too.
	But I said, hold on, we talk about the radical left.
	Is there anyone on the national DNC platform Well, yeah, and I don't even throw her in the far-left category.
	Wasserman Schultz, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, Maxine Waters, all of them are this
	Pelosi are this bad.
	And if if they're not flirting with these kinds of people, they're outright demanding
	this kind of action.
	We see it all the time.
	It's not both sides.
	And I'm really sorry you had to deal with that.
	It's horrible.
	Well, yeah.
	And I don't even throw her in the far left caterpillar.
	She's a 20 year old college student.
	So this is about par for the course for the left right now.
	Yeah, she's not fringe.
	She's not fringe, no.
	She should be volunteering summers at the registrar's office.
	Yeah, no, exactly.
	So, you know, and she, you know, I don't want to hear about all mental illness or whatever.
	She could take care of herself at college, so she can't be that, you know.
	So yeah, my eye was, it was growing.
	I was like, what the f**k is that?
	I could feel it growing.
	And now I know what a boxer goes through.
	I could hardly see after like a minute.
	And then they tried to, you know, I told the staff, hold them and get the cops.
	I had to tell people what to do.
	And so the cops showed up after about five minutes.
	She thought you said get the c**ks.
	That's why she got... Yeah, then you were part of the hashtag me too.
	No, she would have ran out of there if I said that.
	Well, hold on a second.
	She was crying after she punched you?
	Well, after I told her father, yeah, you better get a lawyer, dude.
	You're in deep shit.
	He went over and told her that.
	I'm not a litigious guy.
	I know.
	The only thing I hate more than lawyers are f****** feminists, Joe.
	It reminds me of the scene in Life Aquatic where Jeff Goldblum walks over and disciplines the other guy's dog with a rolled up paper.
	I mean, you know, I really do hope that this gets resolved and justice is served.
	But I will say this.
	I remember having this conversation with Joe and with yourself. I remember at one point saying like, ah,
	I don't think this is ever going to come to the clubs because you and I both agreed like, we won't
	do colleges anymore. I said, I think you'll be surprised. I think that business owners
	have to be careful, if only for situations like now you've just described. Well, here it is. Now they've
	come for the clubs. Yeah. Yeah.
	You know, and I, I, security wasn't around because I wasn't planning on shaking hands.
	You know how clubs have now?
	They actually have a backdrop you stand in front of, and that's up in the lobby.
	I just happened to come out of the green room.
	I went in after the show ended.
	I went in the green room for a few minutes, came back out, and they just happened to be filing out.
	So I started shaking hands.
	Sort of an impromptu meet-and-greet.
	I'll knock it, Jared, as a question, I think.
	It's just a thought that nowhere else but the internet in 2018 has this really happened because people are formulating these negative thoughts about comedians in the comedy clubs.
	There used to be a day where you had to go and see them in the comedy club to witness their act.
	And then ruminate for a bit.
	Yeah, and if you didn't like them there, then you're the butthole.
	Yes.
	But now you can go home, watch the clips on Twitter, and formulate opinions that you're not saying.
	It usually takes people a long weekend to realize they don't like Nick.
	Yeah.
	Exactly.
	I'm sorry.
	My wife is around 24 years, she's still not sure.
	It's a long waiver.
	I think I was the first comment to start saying this.
	I started saying this five years ago.
	Now I see everybody saying this.
	But when people walk out of my show, maybe even more than five years ago, I will yell to them, did you do your research before you came to the club?
	See who the headliner was.
	You know?
	You don't go walk into a f***ing music venue expecting to see Zeppelin and, you know, be surprised it's Men Without Hats.
	They think comedy is a homogenous thing.
	We all have the same sense of humor.
	That's why I think, and I'm not super famous, so yeah, there are people who wander into my show who might not know me, but not too many anymore.
	I've been doing this a long time.
	The way this went down, putting two and two together, I don't doubt that they sat at their house and said, I hate this guy.
	He's a racist.
	Let's go to a show.
	Again, speculation.
	I can't even get a call back from the Assistant District Attorney.
	Yeah, I can imagine.
	What if I hit her, Steven?
	I'd be in jail for 11 days now.
	Well, don't do it, as much as I'd like to.
	And if you do, televise it.
	And we'll be sure to get exclusive rights here on the channel.
	Here's what I will say.
	We do have to get going.
	When we get off air here in a little bit, let me talk with you.
	We have someone who might be able to help out the beast and see what's going on, if we can get some info on this person.
	Because we've been doing this segment here, Crowder Confronts, recently, where we can find almost... We can send a missile Up your posterior from anywhere in the country right now, know where you are, who you're with at any given moment, and I bet you we could probably find out who this person is and what the plans were.
	I'd like to help you, if we can.
	I know them.
	You mean who the... No, no, no, but we'll talk more about it off-air.
	Off-air.
	I would like to help you with this.
	I don't know who these people or persons are.
	I would never mention because, you know... Look, we...
	We can't hit back.
	We got it.
	True gender equality.
	I could have popped her in the face and everybody would have said she had that coming.
	And we went on our merry way.
	Seriously, that's I don't think that's what they would have said.
	That is true gender equality.
	Yes.
	And so I didn't do that.
	So I'm going to take it to the courts.
	I don't give it.
	I don't care how long it takes.
	I'm going to make an example of this person.
	No, I agree.
	And we've worked a lot with, we were just talking with Jordan Peterson about this, with the police, with Antifa in Utah and some information.
	And sometimes these people actually reveal a little more information than you might even know.
	So I'd like to be able to help you with that.
	But yeah, what you need to do is get in a DeLorean, Just go through some HRT, go back to her wrestling meet, and win it.
	Win the state title.
	Because that's okay now!
	So it's nickdip.com.
	You can follow him at Nick DiPaolo.
	P-A-O-L-O.
	And the Patreon is what, Nick?
	For people to support the show?
	Patreon.com forward slash The Nick DiPaolo Show.
	That'll be up tonight.
	That's where people can go to subscribe once this podcast kicks off.
	And it's gonna be great.
	I'll be streaming live audio and video all over the place.
	And we're doing it right.
	I'm in the sound booth's call screen in the booth right now.
	Oh, but it sounds like you're in a men's truck stop in Connecticut.
	We gotta go!
	Nick, thank you so much!
	We'll be right back.
	It's been a while.
	Dum de dum, ding, dum dum.
	These days on the right, things can seem pretty rough if you just watch mainstream news.
	College campuses are full of Bernie bros.
	No love for us on YouTube.
	But there's one thing you've got to understand.
	The left has no long-term plan.
	So we keep winning so much these days.
	We drove Maxine Waters crazy.
	You wanna hang with people who respect the Constitution and don't act rude.
	You wanna be where people don't just blame white dudes.
	We got judges now who aren't super pumped about killing babies.
	Chuck Schumer is pissed and I'm pretty sure Nancy Pelosi has rabies.
	Our economy is doing great.
	And we don't have to bake your cake.
	We keep winning so much these days.
	It drove Maxine Waters crazy.
	You want to hang with people who respect the Constitution and don't act rude.
	You wanna be where people don't just blame white dudes You
	You You
	Everyone else make it out okay?
	You made it.
	I made it, yeah.
	Thanks for asking.
	Sounds like I'm being waterboarded.
	There's one person here who's been waterboarded.
	Eh, whatever.
	And it's the boss.
	Very little.
	Thanks so much to Dr. Jordan Peterson, Nick DiPaolo.
	Next week, we don't have any shows, but we do have a giant 4th of July themed Change My Mind on Monday.
	Monday?
	That's huge.
	That's July 3rd, Monday?
	July 2nd.
	America is superior to all other countries.
	Change My Mind.
	And that's it.
	Gerald, because you had a point.
	I did have a point.
	I asked you a question earlier.
	Why is it that, you know, there's nothing that would seem to change their mind on Donald Trump?
	Why is that always the case with power?
	Anytime somebody comes along and actually does something good and it threatens your power base, you just completely ignore all the good.
	Yeah.
	And just go after protecting your power.
	That's exactly what the Democrats are doing right now.
	He could come along and cure cancer, and we've said this before, literally, and they would find a problem with it.
	They would say that it's bad for the medical field or something.
	Let me ask you this.
	What's good about Bernie Sanders?
	There's nothing good about Bernie Sanders.
	Yeah, you're doing the exact same thing!
	No, I'm not doing the exact same thing.
	If Bernie Sanders could bring something good to the table, like if he had an economic plan that was good, then I would say that's good.
	He doesn't!
	He has socialism!
	You got nothin'!
	You got nothin' at all!
	Jesus raised a guy from the dead, they tried to kill the Lord!
	The same thing!
	Trump's not God.
	Don't get me wrong.
	No, I think you're right.
	And that's why I said, I mean, you've admitted that you were wrong on a lot of it.
	I was.
	And I was definitely wrong on a lot of it.
	And I think some, I really, you know, the arrogance of some of the pseudo-intellectual conservative right sometimes.
	Listen, you've also got to be, there are things that he does that I disagree with.
	Of course.
	But you've also got to acknowledge some of the things that he does.
	That'd have been good, and I'm surprised.
	It actually would lend them more credibility for us to listen if they would just acknowledge a few good things.
	They can't.
	Same thing happened with Obama.
	I'm like, okay, actually, this is a good thing.
	Yeah.
	It's much easier to conversate.
	Well, conversate, as Dennis Rodman would say.
	I'm just so happy.
	I've never seen you and Rodman in the same room, that's all I'm saying there.
	No, no, no.
	So, last week some people were a little upset, A, that I did the drowning dance as Moses, didn't take advantage, and B, some people didn't think it was, you know, this last segment is usually somewhat inspirational.
	So let me shorten this for you really quickly.
	You want some self-help tips, here's the stuff that gurus aren't telling you.
	A lot of people say, well, hold on, sometimes your advice contradicts your previous advice.
	You talk about working hard, but then you talk about being disciplined with rest.
	Not all life tips, okay?
	And we get a lot of these requests coming in by email.
	A lot of people, you know, the person who sent his Navy Cross, people who have unbelievably touching, moving stories.
	These are the people I try to respond to.
	Not people who are just looking for get-rich-quick schemes.
	Which, by the way, we're not rich.
	We have a semi-successful online show, late-night show, okay?
	No one here has their own Learjet.
	Not like the Raelian cult, the guy who led them.
	That's what you do, you start a cult.
	So not all life tips, and this is one thing because everyone wants to say, they're not for all people at all times.
	So if you're on a bike, Gerald knows this, you're about to climb a mountain, it's going to be very different advice from if you're speeding downhill.
	Absolutely.
	Right?
	It's an entirely different tact.
	Can't believe you just used a cycling term.
	But is that not true?
	It's absolutely true.
	So first one is simple, right?
	For most people, you've got to start pedaling.
	Most people are just sitting on a bike.
	That's it.
	First tip for life.
	Move.
	That's it.
	Just start pedaling.
	That's going to be one of the harder parts, is move.
	If things aren't improving, just start moving.
	There you go.
	I'll give you a little bit of an Al Sharpton there.
	I didn't even intend to.
	You don't need to worry about wasted motion yet, or wasted energy because you're just a lethargic Blob, okay?
	You're not using any energy, so don't worry about conserving it.
	The first step is move.
	Getting a bike started is a lot harder than keeping it in motion.
	Most people never create a goal and chart a path.
	This one's because there's a little bit of an email that kind of ticked me off.
	It's just someone who thought they had it figured out, but like, I just need this little... No, no, let me tell you.
	You don't have any of it figured out, okay?
	Some people don't.
	I didn't at one point.
	But this is a little bit of tough love.
	This tin can might hit you in the teeth.
	A lot of people never actually start down the path if they do chart a path.
	So do something.
	That's the first step.
	Now, once you're moving, once you've actually been putting in the reps, you need to challenge yourself.
	Every now and then you need to do something as hard as you possibly can.
	So you start moving.
	Here's tip two.
	As hard as you can, find your breaking point.
	Sprint up that hill.
	As fast, as hard as you can.
	Feel your legs burn.
	Feel yourself burn.
	Feel yourself really close as though you're just about to die, only to see that crest.
	If you never redline the engine, if you never push yourself as hard as you can, it doesn't matter whether it's in business, whether it's in sports, whether it's in actual cycling, whether it's in being the best husband you can be, whether it's being the best boss you can be, whether it's using your influence as best as you can, you never get to see that sunset over the hill.
	So every now and then, sprint as hard as you can.
	Start by moving, if you're doing nothing.
	That's the bulk of you.
	And push yourself.
	Challenge yourself.
	Find out your limits.
	Then, between all that, is the most important.
	We've talked about this with Brian Shaw.
	We have top athletes on the show.
	The in-betweens.
	You hear me talk about this?
	The in-between the hills, right?
	In-between the beautiful scenic views.
	You just gotta keep moving.
	You gotta keep pedaling.
	A lot of times people think it's the sprints.
	And some people are better at downhill.
	And it's the people who are consistent.
	At the end of this finish line, consistency is key.
	And be deliberate about resting.
	Okay, at this point, because you've already started moving, now people are like, oh, Steven said be deliberate about rest.
	You haven't even pedaled, son!
	Be disciplined about resting.
	Be disciplined about pedaling.
	Be disciplined about working.
	When no one's watching, when it's not sexy, that's the bulk of everything in life.
	The unsexy in-betweens make up, I'd say, 80% of life's success, whether it's your marriage, whether it's your business, whether it's your job, whether it's your athletic, your body, your health, and no one wants to hear it.
	80% of success comes from unsexy in-betweens when no one is watching.
	It's not some inspiring journey with a beautiful Monet backdrop.
	So you need to learn to love, or at the very least, love why you're doing the in-betweens.
	And if you do all this, this is one thing too, when we did the SMU show, it was so big, and I spoke with Nakajara, I was like, I'm not really comfortable with a certain level of success.
	Why?
	Because no one prepares you for it.
	So if you're lucky enough, and there's something no one prepares you for, success.
	You know why?
	Because people who are successful don't make up the market share of BS self-help books.
	There's not a huge selling off.
	That's why I had to stop going to a church that one time we attended, because every single time the pastor spoke, it was talking about the broken, the damage, and how the Lord will heal you.
	And the Lord will heal you, okay?
	He absolutely will.
	I believe as a Christian.
	But I'd never heard a message about people who'd had their crap together and how they could help heal others.
	So most people want to feel sorry for themselves.
	It's safe.
	Most people like the crutch of, oh, well, someday I'll get there.
	Here's a secret.
	Most people don't want to get there.
	They think they do, but they don't.
	They fear true success.
	They're repelled by it.
	I've seen it time and time again.
	So this is the part that no one prepares you for.
	Step one, move.
	All right?
	Step two, redline it every now and then to know how far you can take yourself.
	Step three, the in-betweens.
	Then success.
	Let's say you've crested.
	You've seen that sunset.
	You're going downhill.
	You've got a tailwind.
	You don't have to pedal as hard.
	You know this, you're moving a lot faster.
	Oh yeah.
	That's where a lot of the crashes happen.
	Almost all of the crashes.
	It's because it's one of the most straining parts of life.
	Of the journey, to use a term.
	But...
	It's in a way that's the opposite of that.
	It's the least physically straining and it's one of the most mentally taxing.
	Now, it requires something that a lot of people haven't learned because you can't learn this until you get there.
	What's most important once you're successful?
	Once you've gotten moving?
	Think about anything you've accomplished, right?
	Whether you're good in hockey, whether you're a star student, athlete, whether you're a leader at your church.
	Control.
	You reach that point where, OK, I've learned how to play guitar.
	OK, I've learned how to skate.
	OK, I've learned how to be... Now what comes into play more is control.
	Control of your bike.
	Control of yourself.
	Everything's speeding by.
	This is why you feel unstoppable once you get success.
	Everyone wants to be your friend.
	Right?
	Money, women, or men.
	Whatever you want.
	It could be success in your marriage.
	It could be success at school.
	Anything.
	It could be success.
	Take your pick.
	But the second you hit that stride is when temptation comes.
	Not only from external sources, but internally.
	You forget to control the bike and you crash.
	How many cautionary tales have we seen?
	Just in our experience since having done this show.
	Since the show started.
	People who just faded away or burned out.
	Even in this exact movement, I'm sure you can think of a few.
	It's why after SMU and this kind of crazy ascent to what moderate level of success we've had, a very visceral, borderline crisis, because I didn't I didn't want to be like that.
	I'm seeing so many people who've hit this level of success, and then it just goes away.
	I didn't want to squander our influence or our responsibility.
	So here, you want to be successful?
	It's simple.
	Move, do something, anything, start moving, then push your limits, okay?
	The bulk of it is the in-betweens.
	When no one's looking, how are you acting?
	How are you behaving when no one is watching?
	And then finally, if you're lucky enough to have charted a path and reached success, Not many do.
	Even fewer hold on to it.
	Control.
	Be in control.
	Be master of your own domain.
	And guess what?
	You can't if you didn't follow steps one through three.
	That's why people who win the lottery kill themselves in record numbers.
	Or transgenders.
	But right now we're using a different analogy.
	People who become overnight sensations, they never hold on to success.
	Follow those rules and it's a way of life.
	Map out a plan.
	Follow the rules.
	I guarantee you, you may not be a world beater.
	But you'll be more satisfied with your life than you are now.
	And I think you know who I'm talking to.
	Thank you for sending the email.
	I hope that helps.
