I wish I could say that none of us saw this coming, but all of us for sure did.
We knew it was in the cards for a lot of people.
We'd already been demonetized quite a bit.
He demonetizes his own videos to sell more mugs.
In the era of deplatforming, it's becoming harder to know who to trust.
Before he completely fabricated a conspiracy, I thought Owen Benjamin was a friend.
So I couldn't make sense of why I would spread what is clearly a lie.
Because as anyone would tell you who works with me, I'm an amazing person.
Who, Steven?
Yeah, he's alright.
So why would Owen lie like that?
It didn't make sense.
Furthermore, it's well known that he has the attention span of a Pomeranian.
So he couldn't have woven this tapestry of lies alone.
But who else on the right would want to take down Mug Club?
It was time to look at motive.
Right away, the standout suspect was David Rubin, who has knowingly harbored ill will against my mug club and its tremendous success for a long time.
Catastrophic results?
We can't prove that yet.
People don't agree on that.
So you want to wait till Miami is, uh... Miami's already supposed to be gone, Dave!
To most people, it would seem odd that David, a gay guy, would be so angry.
But few people know.
It's a well-known fact that David Rubin is a homosexual, a disease which afflicts less than 3% of the population, causing him to have unnatural sexual urges toward other men.
It was a large part of his brand.
For David Rubin, though not as big or successful as Mug Club, being gay was big business.
But what if he wasn't telling the truth?
What if gay David Rubin No.
Dave Rubin is definitely gay.
Like, no conspiracy.
Definitely, really, really gay.
that David Rubin is in fact married to a man and is indeed a practicing homosexual.
But there's something else that's been bothering me.
Something that doesn't add up. Maybe I've been looking in the wrong place all along.
No. Dave Rubin is definitely gay. Like, no conspiracy.
Definitely, really, really gay.
Are those real? What?
Are those real?
It's a valid question.
What the hell is wrong with you?
Coming on this show is a mistake.
You're an a**hole.
What?
I don't, I don't... ow! S***!
k byee
Wrong pronouns again.
Remember, legally a man.
This is true.
So you don't have to be uncomfortable anymore.
What pronoun do we use for someone who hits the microphone?
I'm good. Wrong pronouns again, remember, legally a man.
This is true.
So you don't have to be uncomfortable anymore.
What pronoun do we use for someone who hits the microphone?
Idiot.
Boss.
Let's go with Z.
Yesterday, Lauren, for those who aren't Mud Club members, came in in a beautiful dress and we all felt horrible and so we shamed her right away and said, dress down.
Please.
We appreciate it.
We were in like PJs.
By the way, I know we're going to have Tommy Robinson on the show.
We don't have him for obvious reasons.
The guy has a lot going on, but we do have Cairns Drawn!
We do have Stefan Molyneux.
We also have Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Samantha Bee.
Not exactly.
Producing, actually doing a really good job this week, is Quarter Black Garrett.
You are in fact a Quarter Black, that's right.
I am, I appreciate it.
Show the fans that they can know.
Trust you, that's terrible.
We're going to lose the entire Black audience, all four percent.
And what's the wine of the day, Edgy Morgan Jr.?
I had to bring an extra large bottle for you heavy drinkers.
This is Long Shadow's Pirouette.
Long Shadow's Pirouette.
Why is it an extra large bottle?
Why do they sell it in that format?
Because when it comes to wine size, it really doesn't matter.
I feel like it's something that I would see on Pinterest from a mom that I don't like.
Wait, no, this is really good.
I am only having my one serving of wine a day, and I have the giant sifter here.
The glass.
Mommy needs her special juice.
Yes, exactly.
I ate fruit for dinner.
Yeah, yeah, hopefully your kids have a pool without a fence.
And hopefully you're buying wine for me.
By the way, question of the day, we're going to be talking quite a bit about Me Too and some of the latest frauds involved thereof.
A few months into this now, we've seen a shift.
We've noticed a shift in the temperature, a change in the temperature toward the movement.
So how do you balance being supportive of the victims, of course actual victims, while not automatically throwing anyone who's ever been accused under the bus?
No questions asked.
Let me know.
Let us know.
We'll be talking about it, and I think we'll be talking about it with Karen Straughan.
Actually, Lorne will be fill-in hosting for me with Karen Straughan, just because I can.
Leading the news though, You'll love this, Lauren.
I have no idea why.
It's a new study on eco-sexuality.
Did you know that was a thing?
I didn't want to know that was a thing.
I feel like you're going to tell me anyway.
I am.
With the earth.
Taking the earth as a lover raises a number of legitimate concerns regarding non-human consent as well as sexuality.
This comes from Sage Journal.
Good lord.
Seems like it would.
It seems like this would raise a lot of questions.
I've heard of objectum sexuals, like that lady who married the Eiffel Tower.
There's an actual trend now because someone, I guess, a tree.
People now have been falling over trees, tree huggers.
So mentally unstable.
Well, that's what you say.
So this is the new progressive frontier.
This is where we are.
And we actually now go live to a press conference being held by a representative from the other side of the spectrum who disagrees with them.
Their spokesperson is about to take the podium.
Thank you for coming as an ambassador of the Tree 2 movement.
I am a personal survivor of eco-sexual assault and a self-professed strong fembotanist.
I am appalled at the lack of compassion, self-awareness, or accountability as it relates to the ongoing sexual abuses of my treeple without consent.
Largely because they cannot consent.
This has been an ongoing struggle.
Which triple Americans sadly learned to live with, but with the recent events occurring at Kevin Spacey's nursery and the widely publicized herbicide of Harvey Weinstein's potted ficus, we can no longer stay silent.
Because that plant had a name.
His name was Ficus.
Ficus Morningwood.
And he was my friend.
And for fear of the ramifications, to my everlasting shame, I stay quiet.
But not anymore.
We will be silenced no more.
The TreeTube movement is here to be heard and here to stay.
I will now open the floor for any questions you may have.
Yes?
Bro, is your name really... Hardwood?
I don't know what they were expecting.
I don't know what Lauren was expecting.
Her face did this.
Something other than what she's hearing, I think.
You should have known better, Lauren.
Sorry.
You had a point, Gerald.
It's definitely your fault.
Flip along, brother!
I've regretted coming here since the moment I touched you.
Yes, I apologize.
So going back to yesterday's conversation, where exactly would the front hole be?
With a tree?
On the earth.
Well, explain context for people who I said going back to yesterday!
Not everyone is joining Mug Club because there's a bunch of poor asses out there on YouTube who can't afford $69 a year, which is a problem.
Which is definitely a problem.
Stop doing the Starbucks.
Lauren, do Gerald's job for him.
What's the context of front hole?
I have to be the one to explain this?
I get to explain Front Hole and what was the question?
You are privileged with the task of explaining it.
Well, friends, you must know by now that using the proper terms for genitals is a very offensive thing to do because not everyone can have vaginas.
I thought you were going to avoid saying it.
I was going to, and then I realized I couldn't.
My brain was going, it was like going through words, scrolling, and I'm like, nope, nope, I got nothing.
I really thought you were going to avoid it.
This was not my fault.
So we covered it yesterday, they want us to call them front holes.
Yes.
Yeah, front holes.
And you know what?
We're probably not gonna.
In other news, Jon Stewart, by the way, came to the aid of two goats on the run in Brooklyn.
This comes from the New York Post.
The comedian-turned-farmer rescued the two rogue goats caught running around on the N train tracks.
So, the two goats are actually taken to an upstate sanctuary, where they'll... This is a feel-good story.
They're gonna be taken care of, cared for, well-fed, then groomed and given a late-night talk show.
Donald Trump is a f***ing piece of s***.
Buh.
Michael Cohen can suck my f***.
I don't even know which context those beliefs would be necessary.
It almost seems like someone writing this program is horribly confused between goats and sheep.
Or that's all we have the wardrobe for.
Thank you, Lauren, for tolerating.
By the way, hit the notification bell, join MugClub, or subscribe on iTunes if you want to listen to this audio on the go.
That was a good Samantha Baugh.
I'm pleasantly surprised.
She's going to come back to haunt me.
It will.
Don't ever run for office.
Oh, that's awesome.
But do appear in Sharknado 5.
That'll reverse course for you.
The only thing that makes me feel better.
Colter, you and I now.
That's significantly worse.
Speaking of animals, by the way, a Chinese man was fined for releasing pigeons on the highway.
If you're wondering how could this go wrong, let me explain to you how.
So he told police he'd been keeping 60-70 pigeons, but he decided to set them free, and he said he chose the highway because it was a wide open space.
Full of cars!
Yeah, in case you didn't know how this would end.
I set them free!
Not exactly.
About half of them survived.
But look, let's not be too picky here.
This does come from a country that eats dogs, so this is a step in the right direction.
Wait, are there dogs in China or is it just Vietnam?
No, it's China.
The whole festival was in China when we talked about it.
Really?
Yes!
They have like an entire dog-eating festival.
Another reason to not like them.
And people, they inflate their currency, and they eat man's best friend.
They eat the pooches.
Have you ever seen those posters of vegans where they're like, at which point do you side?
Do you decide which ones are food?
And they have a picture of like, cat, dog, pig, cow, da da da.
Everyone puts, because vegans are trying to say like they're all beautiful animals, but everyone just puts the line
before pig.
Like this one.
I draw the line at tasty.
They turn junk into bacon.
They're amazing.
Take those same vegans and show them a fetal chart and watch them explode like a fembot in Austin Powers.
Hey, speaking of which, did you know that there's an all-female SWAT team now?
What?
Yeah, being deployed to protect the Indian Prime Minister.
This comes from MSN.com.
They're expected to play a major role in the security detail for the Prime Minister's address on Independence Day after being inducted by the Delhi police.
Oh my gosh.
It just sounds funny, Delhi police.
We're protecting all you see!
Good, good for you.
Not exactly the Hope Diamond, but an all-female security detail I know might seem odd, sorry about this Lauren, but we do try to keep an open mind here at Lotto's Crowder, hence why you're in the studio, if not a little bit of tokenism.
So we've decided to look at the pros and cons in this week's Eye on India.
So the pros and cons of an all-female swat team.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There are definitely some pros.
I know you thought, this is not a woman-hating club.
No.
We've been pretty welcoming.
Oh, I hate women.
Apparently I didn't get the memo.
Just gay men?
My only friends are gay men, yes.
It seems like you have a lot of gay male friends.
Yeah.
Why?
They're the only people that talk to me.
Well, that's questionable.
You had a safari yesterday with my wife?
She likes you!
Maybe she's a gay man.
Have you asked?
Believe in yourself, Lauren.
That's all you need.
There's a little self-belief.
I have asked in a multitude of ways.
So there are some pros for an all-female SWAT team in India.
A pro, for example, highly proficient in the art of passive-aggressive dialogue.
Very useful.
It's mental warfare.
Another pro, they're 23% more cost-effective.
Oh yeah, with the pay gap.
Love it.
23% more cost-effective.
Another pro, long-distance swimming.
Okay.
A lot of people didn't know that.
You didn't know that?
Did you know that?
Long-distance swimming.
Did you know that women are better at long-distance swimming?
How do you not know this?
It's the one physical thing you are better at than men, and you don't think... It's the only thing?
It's the only thing?
As far as a sport!
Yeah!
They're better than men at long-distance swimming.
Women are actually... I... I... I... I... I... I had no idea.
I didn't know.
If, like, if I... Put it this way.
If women were better at almost all the sports than men, and then we had one thing, like, we would be clinging to that.
I guess you just have healthier egos.
Um, cons, of course, cons to an all-female SWAT team.
Vulnerable when cold and the units forget their jackets.
That's one, yeah, that definitely is.
It's chilly.
Next con, unit often incapable of being able to even?
Yeah.
It seems a little odd on the battlefield, putting them at the front lines.
Another con, unit available.
They're unavailable four to six days out of the month.
That seems obvious.
We can move on.
Another con, pull-ups.
Yeah, pull-ups is right there.
And the final con is every other physical activity, unfortunately, for an all-female SWAT team.
Outside of long-distance swimming.
Outside of long-distance swimming.
I mean, if this is like a water attack, they're golden, right?
It's gonna say sharks.
Sharks.
You gotta save the Prime Minister from sharks.
From sharks?
What is he doing swimming?
I don't know.
Can Indians not swim?
I didn't say that.
You're putting words in my mouth now.
So let's see.
We've offended the Chinese, the Indians.
We got time to offend everybody else.
Don't worry.
Look, here's the thing.
I say go for it.
If this guy gets assassinated, it's his own damn fault at this point.
If he picks our all-female crew, go for it, prove the model, or don't.
The 600-meter Olympic swim team.
Yeah, exactly.
How could this go this way?
On land.
He didn't have the foresight.
Maybe it's a trade-off.
He's like, nice view, 15% more likely to die.
I'll take the coin toss.
It's just Bollywood film star.
It's just Bollywood film stars.
Yeah, exactly.
Yes, yes, that's a better state.
Before he dies.
Finally, a Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, is now defending his recent racist attack.
I mean, I guess his...
He called this heckler racist.
You know what, let's just roll this clip right here and I'll explain to you.
So that's what my entire maternal family members sound like.
My whole mom's side.
I met them, he's right.
Yeah, they always sound drunk.
There you go.
So she's asking him about the refugees costing hundreds of billions of dollars to the taxpayer.
And here you go, here he is.
He's saying, this racism plays no role in Quebec.
Now, you don't speak French, do you?
No.
Okay, alright.
So that was just as I was trying to translate.
She's basically saying, hey, what about the cost of the asylum seekers and refugees?
And he just says, yeah, you're racist.
It's extremely frustrating because you've also got the media and just the progressive education system supporting this and saying, yes, it's a racist view to ask about taxpayers' money being wasted on illegal migrants.
It's a racist view to have borders.
It's a racist, extremist view to want to have a nation state with an identity.
That is completely false.
The extremist opinion is Trudeau's opinion.
To destroy borders, to destroy a national identity.
If you don't have those things, you're not a country.
So why are we pretending women like this, who are asking rational questions, are the extremists?
It's a lot harder for Canada, too, because unlike the United States, where our identity was basically a series of ideas, Canada's identity was sort of, you know, kissing the ring of the Queen.
It was a colony.
The United States' identity was never racially tinged.
It was entirely constitutionally based.
People don't understand that.
In Canada or in places like Germany, for them, it was a people.
And so it's a little bit of a tougher transition.
Yeah.
Well, absolutely.
She said it right.
So this woman actually said illegal immigrants in her question.
He originally responded from the podium, immigrants.
But she said, des immigrants illégales.
That's actually what it sounds like.
But did you see what he did?
He replied with, immigrants, your hostility towards immigrants has no place here.
And then later on said the racism.
He immediately changed it back to try to change the word again.
Immigrants aren't a race.
Exactly.
And yeah, illegal and legal are different.
And we were talking about this yesterday.
You said they get all kinds of benefits when they go there.
They get picked up and taken, like, a valet service to a hotel for a little while.
Immediately two years of welfare.
Like, they are getting more money than Canadians, and Canadians are paying for this.
We have Canadians that are struggling, that are on the streets.
We have literally hundreds of thousands of kids in Canada that are below the poverty line, and you're bringing in tons of illegals from America.
Thanks, by the way.
Yeah, you're welcome.
Deal with your own situation.
Don't send them to us.
Yes, I know.
I don't know.
We're sending them north.
I don't know.
We should just send them all to Mexico, even the ones who aren't from there.
Hey, free margaritas!
Go south!
Or send them all to Quebec.
Allez-y, mes gars et les gars!
People don't realize, like, French sounds kind of sexy, right?
But people that think of French, like, people say, oh, I like... Moi, j'aime dormir au naturel, you know?
That's what French Canada sounds like.
Like, ordering potatoes, European French would be like, je veux des pommes de terre, s'il vous plaît.
But in Quebec, it'd be, je veux des patates frites, s'il vous plaît!
That's actually what they sound like.
I'm not even saying words you understand, but I think you hear the difference.
Are they drunk at this point, or is that normal?
It's Tuesday.
But here to give his... Do we have him?
Here to give his side of the story, actually, is Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Prime Minister, are you there, sir?
Thanks for having me, Stephen.
Now, Prime Minister, you were recently criticized... There's no place for racism in Canada.
I didn't ask my question.
I'm sorry.
Sorry reflexes.
Please continue.
You were recently criticized for how you responded to a constituent during a speech.
Yes, she was yelling hate speech.
The question was when the federal government would repay Quebec for the cost that it's incurred as a result of the influx of illegal immigrants coming across the Canadian-U.S.
border.
That was the question that she asked.
Right.
Hate speech, yeah.
How exactly is that hate speech?
Well, I, um... I really hate it when people yell questions at me.
It actually seems like a reasonable question, Prime Minister.
You have to see exactly what she said, actually.
Quarter person of color, Garrett, can you roll clip C?
He doesn't get to ask you that, no.
You don't get to ask him that.
I'm the Prime Minister.
Not at this show, you're not.
What about the question, though?
Do you think that loose immigration laws and incentives for asylum seekers have added to your $1.4 trillion deficit?
Maybe?
You know as well as I do, Stephen, that deficits are not an indicator of long-term economic viability.
But Prime Minister Harper ran a surplus for years!
Off the backs of our First Nations peoples, Stephen.
What was that?
I don't know what's happening.
I feel so ashamed when I think about how far we thought we... This seems like a constant.
Ooh.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, everybody!
That's not going anywhere good.
I still can't believe you got the Prime Minister on.
That's impressive.
I know, I know.
What did you give him?
Like, how'd you get him?
I also can't believe we got a raped tree.
Oh, yeah, that is a sad tale.
That was a good get.
That was a very good get, you know?
I mean, I think you know that he is who he is, right?
That's not offensive to you.
I've accepted it.
I don't talk about Canada.
Canada has no idea how good they had it with Harper.
They really don't understand.
The housing crisis was largely avoided because of his policies.
And they just never appreciated him.
It's much like the Northern Europeans.
They get this like kind of socialism and this diversity, this beautiful utopian mindset because they have all of these other countries protecting them from third world mass immigration.
We have America protecting us.
We don't need an army.
We don't need to worry about the Mexican border.
We have water and America.
So we think, look at our perfect country, you dummies.
We don't have to do any of that.
Not just against immigrants, but also bombs.
Rockets, yeah.
You guys would have a snowball chance in hell against rockets.
I don't know if you know that.
It doesn't end well for you.
If it's a choose your own path book, it's like, oh Canada gets screwed, let me path B.
It's amazing.
We hate America so much.
When I was growing up in school, I used to just tell kids I was American just to see how mad they would get.
They all hate Americans, but as soon as things get rough, oh, America, where'd you go?
We're going to need you over here!
I know you guys have Omaha Beach and the ones, but can we just get Juno?
Juno sounds good.
You can just walk onto that one, right?
By the way, of course, Canada really helped us in World War II.
I'm not belittling that at all, but we actually used to watch footage.
So I'd seen Saving Private Ryan, the film, obviously, and as soon as it went, you know, you're like, oh my god.
And then I watched actual footage in school of Juno Beach, and they actually get off the pontoon boats, and they run into the mist to the point where I'm like, Well, they got up there.
They got pretty far.
They didn't even need berry pepper.
No.
It was pretty easy for them.
I mean, just to be honest.
So, anyway, let's move on to the Me Too movement here.
Recently, two prominent sexual harassment cases, so involving women abusing men, have surfaced.
The other way around.
That can't happen.
Don't be silly.
Well, it does happen every now and then, but usually the guy gets high-fived.
That's the secret we don't let you in on.
So first, I want to make sure I pronounce her right, is it A-Z-E-A Argento?
You know, when it's spelled like, I'm going to say Asia.
Am I the only one?
I think that's fine.
It's A-Z-E-A.
Why?
No.
Don't know-zees!
I'm gonna go rape a guy.
I had eccentric parents.
So, the first one, this is why we're asking you, where you line up on sort of, where the
dividing line is, and it's different for everyone, you want to believe people, of course you
want to come to the aid and protect women who have been victimized, but you also don't
want to ruin people's lives.
So first it was Azia Argento.
She was one of the original leaders of the MeToo movement.
Yeah.
I think she brought forth the rape accusations against Weinstein.
Yeah.
She was one of the first people.
So now it's been exposed that she was having sex with a minor she knew.
And she groomed as kind of a Hollywood mom since he was... Here's the thing with the story.
There's no easy way to... It's not like, oh, a minor, but age... Seven years old.
I think that's below everyone's cutoff.
A little bit, yeah.
I mean, even Muhammad would be like, jeez, that's kind of harsh, okay?
I consummated when she was nine?
Alright?
Oh my gosh.
You know when you offend that guy?
Hold your horses?
Hold your camels before I sexually accost them, but not before seven?
Did I say that about Muhammad?
I did!
I did!
Send your letters.
Send them, not me.
She then, by the way, she paid $380,000 in hush money to keep him quiet.
Don't take my word for it!
Acia Argento paid $380,000 to a young man and he is claiming that Argento sexually assaulted him in 2013 at a California hotel.
So it's official.
In case you were wondering.
I also had it wrong.
Did you hear?
It's Ah-see-ah.
Ah-see-ah.
Yeah.
How did we get it?
There's only three syllables and we got three of them wrong.
It's all her fault and her parents.
The only one we got correct was ah.
You know what was shocking about this?
That CNN actually covered it.
That's what surprised me the most.
Very briefly.
Very briefly, and they didn't do it the right way, but they at least had an audience.
Well then, another one that's important was, uh, Havetel, I think, Ronel, is that how it's pronounced?
Again, I don't know.
I don't even want to try.
An academic who teaches German and comparative literature at NYU.
So even though, here's what's interesting about this.
Do you know the story behind this person?
No, no, we've moved on.
No, no, we've moved on Well, okay, let me clarify for you.
Even though she was supposedly a lesbian, she sexually harassed, twist, a gay male graduate student.
Is that like a double negative making a positive?
Yeah, well this comes from the conservative screed, the New York Times.
So, Habital Rannell then, he said, She pulled him into her bed, she put my hands onto her breasts, and was pressing herself, her buttocks, onto my crotch.
He said she was kissing me, kissing my hands, kissing my torso.
That evening a similar scene played out.
Again, he said, and you know that's a gay man just by his description.
Right, yeah.
He made, she made me put my hands on her breasts!
That's not how it's written.
Oh lord!
Sounds like a regular night.
It sounds like a date!
Actually, that sounds like your fantasy night.
Let's just be honest.
And then she was dressing herself.
Your honor, may the record state that the professor was twerking.
Yes, twerking is the official term.
And yes, he's really gay, because he didn't like it at all.
Here's any of it.
Not one second.
If you see pictures, he might not be gay.
It might just be brilliant cover at this point.
Nice.
Now, were these people excoriated for it?
Like, everyone else in the meetup?
No!
No, not at all.
What do you think happened with them?
Hmm.
Could it be?
You're not used to moving your chin beard.
You have to pretend like you have a chin beard, Lauren.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
Go for it.
There you go.
Think Jafar.
You got it?
Jafar.
I got it.
What happened?
They were defended, of course, by the left.
Why not?
They even received a letter defending her.
What?
Yeah, both.
Both of them, actually.
Signed by a squad of famous academics, including Judith Butler.
You've heard us talk about her.
The mother of all gender studies.
Judith Butler!
The first one to say that gender was a spectrum was Judith Butler.
Even before modern gender theory, it was still kind of like with transgenders or transsexuals, there were two genders you could swap.
Judith Butler was the one who said all of them.
She's the one I hate.
So this is what's so infuriating about this whole Hollywood mess is now that it's like blown up with sexual assault accusations against everyone, every gender, every group, they're suddenly saying the things that conservatives were saying years and years ago, which is Assault accusations are complicated.
You need to make sure you have all the facts before you persecute someone, send someone to jail, or ruin their life.
And it's horrible to rape someone.
No conservative has ever said, great to rape someone.
They've always thought it was bad.
They've just thought, let's get the facts.
Now suddenly, you have Rose McGowan freaking out and saying, oh, my friend's been accused.
Let's be gentle.
Let's be careful.
No, exactly.
All of a sudden we're a little hazy on the rules here.
They all need to be believing now.
I don't know where we line up.
That's exactly what CNN did.
That's how they got it wrong.
They spent the entire segment talking about where they got the documents from and, well, we're not really sure.
We got it from here.
But they didn't speak about the terrible nature of what she actually did.
They spent the whole time kind of skating around it.
Working on a gay guy!
No, but I think there's, and I think it's important to bring up, there are two kind of sides to this MeToo movement.
There's exposing perverts, the Kevin Spacey's of the world, the Harvey Weinstein's granted, and holding them accountable.
Absolutely.
I think we should do more of that.
100%.
A little castration in there.
I'm fine with it for people who've actually done it.
Just to make sure.
That's how men feel.
Men with wives or mothers or daughters, we don't have a secret meeting behind your backs to be like, but secretly we like raping all of them.
No.
It never happens!
Not at all.
I've never once had a guy bring up rape in front of me outside of the context of a joke.
Because if there's nothing else that we've learned from this show, it's that rape is always funny.
The second side to the Me Too movement.
And demonetized.
Quarterback, you have to show Lauren.
She was laughing at that but turning to hide herself.
I'm sorry.
That's our pass.
If you're our quarter hood pass, she's our nether region pass, to quote her.
Genital area.
Front hole.
I love that you cornered yourself into saying the word vagina.
There's so many word cards in my brain.
They come up completely empty.
There's no good word for it for women.
It's like with guys, there's like tallywhacker, pecker, John Thomas.
They're all kind of silly.
But with women, they're all kind of sexualized.
Like there aren't a lot of silly names for them.
Vagina is almost the most polite word.
It is.
It really is.
It's technical.
I've gone and said it again.
I've said it again!
No!
No!
And again with a puff!
Then there's the flip side, of course, which is to weaponize it, right?
A couple of examples here.
So the case of Argento and Ronell, they revealed that this crowd, like you said, they don't believe their own press.
And remember, here's a clip of none other than Hillary Clinton telling you what you should do with anyone who comes forward when it comes to accusations of rape.
You have a right to be heard and you have a right to be believed.
I know you thought that clip might be longer, that's it.
That's absolutely all there is.
Hillary Clinton.
Yeah, yeah.
Really, she's the one that means the most.
She did stuff to you?
And I have a right to be believed.
You know what's funny?
I would much sooner believe you saying it than anyone else in this room saying it.
That's true.
Yeah.
Well, look, with the Urban Meyer story, I mean, that's a big topic right now.
I was really afraid for the guy because I played for him at Notre Dame, he was an unbelievable coach, but everybody immediately was saying this is the end of his career, he's done, and he wasn't even the guy involved in the situation.
Like, I understand that maybe he didn't do everything exactly right, but immediately people were like, he's done, he's out.
I was so pissed off, so thank goodness it was a three-game suspension.
Yeah, Sandusty kind of screwed the pooch on that one, though, so for the rest of all time...
Meyer wasn't doing that!
Whoa!
Whoa!
Time out!
And Paterno knew!
We have a woman in the studio!
Okay, look, b***h is not exactly the worst word we've said on air today.
Okay?
It's the worst word that hasn't been bleeped today.
Let's put it that way.
Okay, yeah.
Do you remember the I regretted my date with Aziz Ansari article?
Do you remember that?
Did you ever read that?
Yes, I feel like that was the end of the Me Too kind of cult following.
And that being said, I hate him!
I think he's an ass, as he's un-sorry.
I do not like him.
He's a huge, arrogant, liberal, ungrateful, immigrant ass.
But they tried to destroy his career over something with very little evidence.
It's not about bringing perpetrators to justice.
No.
It's become, in large part, about demonizing men.
So, when the Me Too movement first broke, remember, It wasn't really about Weinstein.
Immediately, they just used it as a springboard.
It wasn't about blaming individuals.
They blamed, what, toxic masculinity, right?
Of course.
Yeah, I think we even have an overlay here from CNN.
Yep.
Okay.
Anyone now yelling about toxic fake lesbianinity?
But I repeat myself, what happens when it's a lesbian sexual raping a gay guy?
Yeah, we don't even have a file for that.
I'm not sure what we do with it.
Your guess is as good as mine.
The system has to change because the guy, so in these situations, the guy has zero recourse.
Once it's out there that you sexually assaulted somebody, even if it's not true, you can't unring the bell.
Yeah.
Even if these people, like, what can you do after that?
Your name is ruined forever.
Even if an article gets published saying you didn't do it, you're still that guy who was accused of rape or sexual violence.
I know.
It'll never be just as for Kevin Spacey.
You know the truth.
The truth.
You know it.
Shut up.
I was riding on a rail.
Obviously a problem in Hollywood.
Like, yes, there are these ridiculous Me Too claims and they're just as much of a problem with the lying and everything, but sex is a powerful thing.
And this is what people have, they've tried to make it seem like, oh, you can sleep with anyone and it's no problem at all.
Cosmo says it's liberating.
And Jordan Peterson had an interesting analysis when Me Too started.
He said, this is finally going to teach our generation, like, this is something that really psychologically influences people.
This is something that influences society and you need to respect it.
You guys need to stop being so crazy and ridiculous with it.
And this is what's happened.
Hollywood is in shambles because of this one thing that the liberal media tries to tell us is so free and liberating and anyone can do it all the time.
At least, I mean, on the show.
I remember because a lot of people and I was still would welcome her back on the show
But everyone kind of gave her they gave her a hall pass Yeah
And she was just saying well, you know in case you don't realize women like to get laid and I said
I'm not saying that some women don't like to get laid What I am saying is that I believe that women by and large
not all women were making a generalization are not as sexually
Predatorial as men. It's like well disagree fine I don't need a common ground with that right?
Do you think women want to have sex with as many men as human?
Because that is what all men hear.
If a guy is being honest here with no moral compass, sex with as many women as you possibly could?
Yeah.
Everyone else?
But I have a moral compass, thank God.
I love my wife, though.
Yes.
No, I know, I know.
I know, I'm absolutely saying.
But women, are you hardwired that way?
Women, even if they are tricked by media, whatever it may be, schooling, to think you can do whatever you want, I think deep down they know.
Because at the end of the day, after they've been with a guy and the guy says goodbye after Tinder, even if they both agreed to just do a Netflix and chill, they're sad.
They call up their girlfriends.
I've had girls call me after this and they're upset about it.
And they're like, I don't understand why I'm upset.
I don't understand why I'm attached to this guy.
I only met him once.
Well, how far did you go?
Right.
Because that it's literally It's psychologically wired in your body to make those connections, to bond with people.
There's a soul tie that occurs.
You were about to say something there, Quarterblack.
Yeah, I had a friend that did the same thing.
He went on a Tinder date, and things happened, and he felt bad after it.
Just like that.
Yeah, it happens for men too.
That's pretty rare for a guy.
This wasn't a gay guy with a lesbian professor.
No, it wasn't.
No, I do, yeah, I do, listen, and that's because of the moral compass component.
But that being said, guys are hardwired to spread their seed.
It's a goal post moving power grab from the progressive left.
That's the point.
And by the way, it's one that ultimately hurts both sexes.
Certainly women.
Take Henry Cavill, for example.
He said he was afraid to date in the Me Too era.
Right?
And then feminists jumped on him and said, feminists and Bernie Sanders, you have nothing to fear if you're not a rapist!
You Krypton son of a bitch!
Superman just doesn't want to be the next subject of a Rolling Stone article.
That's it.
I feel my power is weakening.
Is it Kryptonite?
No, it's Mattress Girl!
You have nothing to fear if you're not a rapist.
You have everything to fear if you have a penis.
That's the truth right now.
Dating was hard enough when you didn't have to have written consent before you kissed someone, right?
Well, that's what they've been doing with fraternities, too.
By the way, progressives have admitted that the Me Too movement is less about truth than it is about causing what they quote A shift in power imbalances.
That's from the conversation right there.
A shift in power imbalances.
And that's everything.
That'll be the closing segment.
I want to talk about that a little bit more because shifting power imbalances just for the sake of it, you have to figure out who's at the other end of that seesaw when you shift it.
That's really important to know.
And this is foundational for the modern progressive left, like we've talked about.
The underdog automatically has the moral high ground.
And I'm like, here, we have to get going, we have to get going to a Stefan Molyneux here in a second.
I'm like John Oliver, Samantha Bee, or Samantha Buh, or Trevor Noah, who just bitched.
I do want to be solution-oriented, and you touched on this, and I think you're right.
The problem, we're told, is we have a culture of rape.
Okay, let's go along with that premise.
What's the fix?
The solution is the exact same kind of crap that you've been mocking for decades.
Like Mike Pence not going out to dinner alone with a woman.
Who's not his wife?
Like not allowing your teenage daughter or son to go upstairs with the door closed and a box of Trojans?
How about that?
Maybe teaching young people that abstinence, if not until marriage, which I still advocate, that's just a personal decision, it's just me, but at least until you're old enough and in a permanent relationship or a long-term relationship, maybe that could be beneficial.
Like maybe teaching young men to serve and protect young women.
By holding doors for them.
By not allowing them into dangerous situations.
And yes, that includes the front lines of war.
Why?
Because pull-ups.
Like teaching women that motherhood is more important than your business success.
Why?
So they can raise successful, morally upright young men and women of their own.
Maybe like teaching men.
Yeah, men, you don't get off the hook.
How about real masculinity?
Let's throw away the terms toxic masculinity.
How about just real masculinity like being a leader, a good husband, a faithful husband,
and a father who stays with mommy and works through the marital problems even though his
feelings might be hurt.
How about that?
What you call toxic masculinity, I call necessary for the survival of the human species.
And you know what's not necessary for the survival of the human species?
Identity politics, toxic lesbianism, lesbianininism, I don't even remember what it was, I don't even know what you call it, toxic lesbian raping gay student-ism, and man-shaming.
That's not necessary for the preservation of the human species, dummies.
We'll have Stefan Molyneux after this, and then Lauren is going to interview Karen.
That'll be fun, get your lady.
And two and a half and a...
P-O-G-O is virtue.
And now for Hopper Proverbs, sponsored exclusively by Mug Club.
It is said that if you give a dog some cheeses, you feed him for a day.
But if you give a dog a cow, I don't know how to make cheeses, but if I had a recipe and some thumbs, I probably could figure it out.
Just on Mug Club so Stephen can give Hopper more cheeses, because he has thumbs.
Stay tuned for more Hopper Proverbs, sponsored by Mug Club.
All right, very glad to have our next guest.
Actually, Lauren is not here right now.
She had to use the restroom, which actually ties in perfectly.
We're going to leave this conversation off with restroom talk.
You know him, of course, YouTube.com slash Free Domain Radio, as long as they allow him.
And I want to get this plug right.
He's speaking at Phyllis Schlafly's Gateway Eagle Council, St.
Louis, Missouri, September 13th through 16th.
Of course, you see his Twitter there, Stephan Molyneux.
Stephan Molyneux, did I get that right?
That's great.
I'm actually looking forward to the Eagle Forum.
I pretty much assume that they're going to release a rabbit on the stage and I'm going to drop to it on the rafters.
That's the whole approach.
My speech is basically going to be... That's generally the plan.
So, you know, you have to be there or you'll miss the whole experience.
Is that in honor of Phyllis Schlafly?
No, just the name Eagle.
No, I like Phyllis.
I had her on the show a couple of times.
She died, of course, quite recently at the ripe old age of 90-something.
Yeah.
And yeah, very powerful, great woman.
She did a lot of great stuff politically.
She was a mother of the year for her entire estate.
She raised six kids.
Yeah, quite a powerful force in nature, that woman.
A lot to admire.
She had actually a good sense of humor.
I had to introduce her at CPAC one year, so there were about four years in a row where I was this emcee at CPAC, and then I ended up just hating my life, so I stopped.
But I introduced Sarah Palin, and I mentioned, you know, okay, former governor of Alaska, and I said, and she's fine, and people kind of laughed, and then I brought up Phyllis Schlafly, and the very last thing I said about her was, and I should also mention that she's Fine.
And she came out, she was like, oh, funny young gentleman.
I don't think she realized the sexual connotations there.
You were saying before on air that you really enjoy speaking.
Daddy like were your words.
Yeah, so I mean, for a variety of reasons, not least of which being a stay at home dad to a toddler,
but I didn't do much on the road for like half a decade.
And going back out with Lauren to Australia and well, almost New Zealand was fantastic.
I really remember just how much fun it is to play with an audience.
And of course, the audiences in Australia are quite interactive.
And that was a lot of fun.
The Q&A is a great time.
There are a lot of black people in Australia?
I'm sorry?
I said, you mean there are a lot of black people in Australia?
Yeah!
Preach!
See, I invite them to be part of the show, because you've got to give them something they're not going to get by just clicking on a YouTube.
So I want that interactivity, and I want to play back and forth.
So remembering how much I like it, I'm available for children's parties, bar mitzvahs, the usual.
And if people want me to come and speak, oh, I'll do it.
I'll do it.
So yeah, that's why I'm doing the Eagle Forum and got some other stuff lined up as well, because, man, is it ever fun being out in front of an audience again.
I hate it.
I despise it.
I've never liked it.
I feel like I have to do it because people want to come out and see us live and I'm very appreciative of the fans.
But I was a kid who, before an oral, it would feel like I would get the same kind of bandy-leggedness like Bambi's mom before I would go out to jiu-jitsu matches.
Or any kind of a sporting event.
I would get so nervous and I remember feeling like I was going to throw up, but I don't throw up.
I almost never throw up.
So I would just get explosive excrement before every oral when I was a kid.
I don't know why I started doing stand-up comedy.
I always get nervous before audiences.
I envy people like you who don't get the nerves.
No, no, no.
See, it's not that I don't get the nerves.
I do, but it's more excitement.
But my big fear, well, there's two big fears when it comes to public speaking, especially when you're doing like some big, huge area with a very ill-defined stage edge.
Like you don't want to do a full, you know, Steve Tyler and plunge right off the stage and hope that someone catches you.
So I actually like getting there earlier, making friends with the space and making sure I know where the edge is because they never tape it.
And it's just like, good luck, hope I don't plunge somewhere.
And the other is I have this nightmare that halfway through a speech, because I do like an hour usually or more, Halfway through a speech, I'm just...
And I have to pee.
And it's going to come on like a tsunami, you know, and then all I'm going to see is people drinking water and all that kind of stuff.
It's like when I went to go and see the movie Titanic and I had one of these giant float drinks and the entire last half of the movie is people sloshing around in water.
I didn't want to miss anything because I thought, well, it's got to be over soon.
No, it doesn't, because it's the movie Titanic.
It takes actually less time for the ship to sink than for the movie to end.
But yeah, those are my only two big fears.
And you can deal with one by making friends with the space and you can deal with the other by having four pee checks before you go out.
To speak.
So after hearing that anecdote, uh, what I, uh, what I gleaned from it is Stefan Molyneux's gay.
Yeah.
He went to Titanic and was actually afraid to miss a portion of the Titanic.
I was looking for a reason for a bathroom break.
Like, I can't miss Jack.
Not for one moment.
You can't take his eyes off him.
Can you?
Um, no, I, I, I do.
This is back when the, no, this is back when you would roll the dice and you've got at least a 75, 25 split on seeing Kate's boobs in a movie, right?
Because she was just like, this was her audition, was just like flashing.
Yeah, every other one.
You know, this is back in the day when the internet was still pretty primitive and it was worth paying 12 bucks to go see some boobs.
As opposed to Heather Graham, it was in her contract for every single film.
It wasn't a 70-30 split.
It was just, there was no rolling of the dice.
It was really just, you were just like throwing a ball.
I was just throwing a super ball.
I need some pants that are basically made from a headband and roller skates won't hurt, but that's basically how it rolls.
That's pretty much how it goes.
So I know we were just talking about Lauren and how you've been touring, and you have more speaking engagements coming up.
I highly recommend people go check it out.
But let's talk about this.
Also, you're almost gone from YouTube.
I mean, I say that.
You won't be.
And we'll obviously be here to hopefully help you in whatever capacity we can.
And people can find out where to support you.
I'm sure you can tell them.
But how many hard strikes did you get immediately after Alex Jones?
Was it two right in a row?
Well, it was actually immediately after.
Coming back from Australia, you know, we're still trying to tunnel through that Gollum like jet lag that happens.
And basically, yeah, I mean, it was a real drive by, you know, it's like that Samuel L. Jackson character in Pulp Fiction, you know, bang, bang, bang.
And it's just this outlines on the wall behind you because we got Two community guideline strikes for like, I don't know, offensively inappropriate content or however they exactly phrase it.
And yeah, it was pretty rough.
And one of them was on an interview I did with Katie Hopkins, noted British journalist.
And the other was me talking about how white males were dying in the opioid crisis in particular.
So Apparently all that's hateful.
But you know, kudos to YouTube, kudos to the community who fired off thousands of lovely, delightful, positive, and warm messages saying, Hey dudes, not fair.
Back the hell off.
This is an injustice.
And they were taken off the account.
And of course, no, there's never any communication.
You got to read the tea leaves.
you got to just guess what's going on.
But yeah, there was a- You have to throw chicken bones in the toilet.
Yeah.
It really is.
Somebody did the old mass flag and I guess somebody in YouTube thought it was bad
and I guess it went to a higher level of review.
And I mean, I've never had any problems.
You know, 12 years, been on YouTube.
I was like, user number four on YouTube.
And 12 years, no problems.
You go on a tour, you ruffle some feathers, and boom, boom, boom, you get all of this stuff.
But, you know, this is the kind of blowback you naturally get when you're over the top.
They were about to give you your walking papers, like Jack Lemmon and Glen Gary Glen Ross sending you out into the rain.
When I heard about it at first, I was really worried and sad, but I thought, this will probably be rectified.
But I do appreciate... YouTube is for closers!
YouTube is for closers only!
Put that video down!
I do think, and it's something I admire about you and something that we try to draw attention to, listen, we have the ability to reach the highest legal counsel at YouTube-ish, they don't always respond, because of my half-Asian lawyer Bill Richmond on Retainer and because of the fact that we found them and we made contact with them, so then it's even more damning if they don't respond.
But!
What worries me is not what they're doing to you or to myself, because we know there's enough blowback where we can hold them somewhat accountable, but the next guys coming up behind us, the people with the smaller channels.
There are so many stories that we may never even know about, including you and myself, because our inboxes get flooded and we don't have the time to check all of them every day.
That's the kind of thing that keeps me up at night.
Well, you're absolutely right.
I mean, there are the people who are the up and comers and I get messages just like you have people saying, well, you know, I did, I had a channel, I was doing it for six months, it was growing, and then boom, boom, boom, it got vanished.
And this happens to Facebook pages, this happens.
on YouTube and other places.
And, you know, much though I'd love to help everyone, you know, we've got lives and audiences to please and all that.
So yeah, there's a lot of people out there who are not with the kind of size and reach and clout that we have.
And they're getting disappeared and don't have the same kind of recourse.
And that is a real shame because I want the new talent to emerge.
I strongly encourage people to take the swing at trying to affect people positively in the culture wars.
I try and encourage Yeah, well I don't think you can polish down lemon to a shine.
It's always a matte finish at this point.
to wipe out competition, you know?
That's a great challenge to get better, you know?
Why do you wanna wipe out competition?
They polish you to a shine.
Yeah, well I don't think you can polish Don Lemon to a shine, it's always a matte finish at this point.
It's just like the matte finish of near death that is always a point.
There's a Lemon Pledge joke in there somewhere, but I can't quite connect to that.
I just wanted to point that out.
He looks like dead Johnny Mathis.
If Johnny Mathis returned from the grave, it would look like Don Lemon.
You could use him as a stand-in.
And I do hope, listen, people out there, obviously reach as many of the big YouTubers as you can
if your channel is removed.
And we always tell people, obviously, Stephen, you know this, because sometimes we'll get messages like,
hey, I just ran an entire, like we're talking about, I just uploaded Glenn Gleary, Glenn Ross
to my entire YouTube channel, let's do the dance.
Hold on a second.
Most of the time, you usually are violating copyright.
But if you're in the right, you know that you're not.
You know you're doing the right things.
Yeah, do reach out to as many people as possible.
Sometimes they don't get through, but we do want to help you guys.
Really quick, we don't have a ton of time.
We have Karen Straughn coming up.
I think actually Lauren is going to fill in host for me.
We'll see how that goes.
Your recent video was titled The End of South Africa, I believe.
And I know you just toured with Lauren Southern, who did Farmlands, and we were talking about that documentary.
What do you think happens?
Obviously, the title is provocative.
People can go watch it.
But how do you think this all comes down in South Africa?
How do you think it ends?
Well, I mean, I hate to think that it's inevitable, and the title is provocative because I don't want it to be the end of South Africa.
I want people to have enough food.
I want them to have political freedom.
I don't want the government bungeeing in with guns to strip land from people who've been farming it for generations, right?
So, as you know, they changed the Constitution recently to allow for The communist takeover of arms.
And it's like, how many times do we have to see this damn story play out in human history?
For the last 150 years, it's like, oh, these people are doing really, really well.
That's injustice.
That's bigotry.
That's racism.
We're going to redistribute all of their stuff.
And then everybody gets to starve to death.
Fewer than 1% of South Africans of any race care about this land issue.
It's just something that's held up to excuse bad behavior and corruption in government.
It's the equivalent of the Russia collusion story to explain why Hillary lost the election.
It's like, well, the reason that the economy is doing so badly, the reason that South Africa is no longer a net food exporter, but a net food importer, The reason why the Rand is crashing against the dollar, it's because there are too many white farmers.
It's like, no, it's not because of that.
It's because the government is horribly corrupt and inefficient, and they have really racist laws that are there to promote a lot of blacks getting into jobs, to keep whites out of jobs.
It's because they have these massive squatter camps full of whites who are not allowed to work.
It's a really horrible system.
They need to fix the system, but they've had the rot of communism in there for decades, starting before Even the ANC and Mandela got into power.
And if we can find a way to push back against this communist takeover, fantastic.
If we can't, well, they're going the way of the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia.
They're going the way of the communists' takeover in Mao's China and in the Holodomor in Ukraine.
Everyone's going to starve.
And then everyone's going to be sitting there saying, wow, we've got to help all these people.
And it's like, I gotta tell you, from what I'm seeing, man, there's a lot of compassion fatigue about this.
Because, you know, if it's a drought, that's one thing, but if you're starving because you nationalized the farms and stole from everyone, sympathy not massively high, and that's going to be horrible to see.
It's hard to get The Gap to do a campaign for that.
I thought tourism had just died out there because of Leonardo DiCaprio's horrible accent and blood diet.
I mean, that'll do damage to a country's reputation.
Uh, we do have to get going.
I do encourage people to go watch it.
It's, uh, let me make sure.
Phyllis Lafley's Gateway Eagle Council in St.
Louis, September 13th through 16th.
Of course, youtube.com slash freedomainradio.
Stefan, thank you for being here, sir.
We have to go see Ciaran Strawn.
♪♪ All right, there, live every time.
First live read of the week and the last live read.
We only do one live read a week.
louderwithcreditor.com.
That's what keeps this show going.
Lauren has been here, actually, a few days this week.
For those who don't see the daily show, it's 45 minutes every single day.
And you get the clips on YouTube.
$69 annually for students, veterans, or active military.
And it's what allows us to do not only the show, but go on location, do the hidden camera work, do the investigative work.
And we appreciate so much the people who've joined up, especially with YouTube right now.
In the instability, we really are doing a lot better because so many fans have joined up and supported, and we're growing, and we're moving into a new place, and we're going to be confronting more people, more Change My Minds.
Next week is Razor Fist, bringing in, supporting the people who stuck their neck out for us, so we appreciate any support.
You don't have to!
You can watch the free stuff, but it might go away if not enough of you do join up.
Hey, big strong congressman, how's your back feel today?
A little tight, actually.
Oh, no, that's a bummer.
That's a bummer.
I hope no one sneaks into your place at night and changes your street number.
You have it set to 10, I think, right?
Someone change it, baby, to like a 9.5.
How did you know that, man?
Western, motherfucker.
Slightly inconvenient, no one knows why.
Passive aggressive Chinese spy.
There's Ming.
It's better to have love and lust than never to have love at all.
So good at dancing.
Hello everyone and welcome to Louder with Lauren.
And today we are with the wonderful, beautiful Karen Straughn from Girl Writes What and Honey Badger Radio on YouTube.
Karen and I actually haven't seen each other since we went to a slot walk together in Alberta, I think, was it?
Yeah, it was in Edmonton here.
You got to sleep on my couch, which probably wasn't fun.
No, it was a very, very cozy couch.
Now, I understand that you wanted to talk about the Asia, Asia, can't pronounce her name, Argento situation.
One of the first accusers of Harvey Weinstein and one of the founders of the Me Too movement.
And you want to talk about the fact that she has just been accused herself of statutory rape with one of her co-stars, actually a younger male.
It's a little bit of a weird story.
I think the statutory rape thing kind of muddies the waters because, I mean, everybody knows that there are 17-year-olds out there who are capable of consenting to sex, right?
In Canada, our age of consent is 16.
But what really struck me about this particular case is that They met on set when he was seven years old or something like that.
And they have had this, they formed a bond that they both described kind of like a mother-son bond.
And she's still calling him her son and you know, like her sonny boy and all this.
I don't think that's how it works.
It's almost like a Macron situation.
You know the French president with his much older wife that used to be his teacher and they've got this weird, like, mommy-son creepy roleplay thing going on?
Yeah, well, and he describes the situation as something that actually really messed him up.
So, essentially, and she was 37 and he was 17, so that's like a significant Age difference there.
Then you factor in the relationship between them.
That might mess somebody up.
And as the responsible adult in the room, she probably should have, you know, even if he was interested, she should have said, no, no, this is not okay.
So I think the age itself, being under the age of consent, just confuses the real weirdness of this situation, right?
Right.
And TMZ has come out with the photos of them now in bed together, so there were some doubts.
Now people are a little more kind of sure that this did happen.
What do you make of Rose McGowan's comment?
So she came out and said, everyone needs to hold their judgment and be gentle towards Asia Argento.
Well, I think that people should withhold their judgment, for sure, until evidence comes out on any allegations.
But that's not how McGowan was treating anyone else in Hollywood, was it?
That's right.
Or anyone in general.
McGowan was saying, believe all victims, believe all victims, unless they're men.
Yeah, no, that's absolutely the problem, or unless who they're accusing is a woman.
That's the issue that I have, is I would argue in favor of Rose McGowan's approach to this case, that that should be the approach to every case.
But that's not what the Me Too movement is arguing.
I believe survivors.
I believe victims.
Every acquittal is a miscarriage of justice.
Every man who comes out with evidence, or every time something like the University of Virginia you know, Rolling Stone false accusation comes out as false
and is discredited.
That's actually proof of somebody getting away with it somewhere.
So the whole thing is just annoying and it's frustrating and it's hypocritical.
Hollywood is a mess.
I can't even look at it anymore.
It upsets me.
Their lives are all just, they need to sort that out.
Now, something else that is a mess, and you talk about it a lot on Honey Badger Radio, free speech situation.
Famed internet provocateur Count Dankula, who taught his pug dog how to do the Nazi salute, and was brought up on hate speech charges in the UK, has now lost his case and subsequent appeal.
And he is trying to take the case to the UK Supreme Court for a final appeal to see if he has the right to make a joke without being prosecuted, essentially.
Your thoughts?
My thoughts, you know, like when you watch the video, and I did watch the video and I found it hilarious and played it for my kids and they found it hilarious.
Is your dog also a fascist?
Sorry?
Is your dog also a fascist?
My dog is...
I would say she's borderline personality disorder, but she's not extremely political.
But essentially he said, he prefaced the joke with, to play a prank on my girlfriend, I'm going to turn her cute wee dog into the least cute thing I can think of, which is of course a Nazi.
Right, so thinking of the worst possible thing I could turn this dog into, which would indicate that he doesn't like Nazis.
The guy actually also, this is something that the mainstream media never mentions, he has a giant tattoo on his chest of a hammer and a sickle.
That's something the media conveniently forgets when they discuss this case.
I don't think that he's, I think his political views have changed since he got that Permanent badge.
But at the same time, he's definitely not far right.
He's not a fascist.
He's not Not anything like that.
But certainly people in this day and age who just appreciate comedy, humor, free speech, discussing different ideas, they're forced and they're pushed to being in this bizarre sphere, amalgamation of men's rights activists, anti-SJWs, conservatives, libertarians, classical liberals, everyone who's been just forced to support each other's free speech together.
And in some cases support the far left's free speech as well, despite the fact that they want to take all of ours away.
Now, one more thing here I wanted to ask you about.
There's this March for Men that is taking place in Australia, and it has you all up in arms.
Can you tell me a little bit about that?
I don't know much.
It's being organized by a woman named Sydney Watson, who has a YouTube channel.
Oh, yes, I've heard of her.
Yeah, she's not super, super popular.
Like, she's not in the millions of subscribers or anything.
But she's got a good head on her shoulders.
She's conservative.
She's quite similar to you in her views.
Recently there was a young woman killed, Eurydice Dixon, who was raped and murdered while walking home from work at night.
And ever since then, it's just been this constant barrage in the media and in politics, in Parliament, Of calling all men to task over the behavior of those few men who do things like that, and painting all of masculinity as responsible for this, and then essentially saying, well, women shouldn't have to learn how to protect themselves.
Men need to stop raping and killing us, right?
As if all men do this.
And so she kind of got sick of it.
So she decided she was going to have a March for Men.
And of course, all of the rhetoric now is about how she's alt-right, she's a fascist, she's a misogynist, this March for Men, full stop, March for Men, is racist.
Right?
I guess because white men are included in that category, and anything that includes white men is racist, right?
I'm just watching this go down, and she just seems like one of the most solid people.
She gave a solid pitch.
She essentially said women and men should not be at each other's throats.
We are stuck with each other.
We need to learn how to love one another, work together, cooperate, have each other's backs.
This is not a march to slam women.
This is not a march that's political in any way.
Everybody is welcome—men, women of all political stripes.
Just to support men, just to show that men matter.
It's crazy.
I was at a feminist march in the UK before I got kicked out and they started screaming at my cameraman because they said, no men on the march!
No men on the march!
So not only was it a march only for women, no one had a problem with that of course, they wouldn't even let men march with them and screamed and attacked men who came near the march to try and support it or to film it.
So, radio silence on that, and yet this poor girl who's organizing a men's march, absolutely being silent.
Oh, yeah.
And on top of that, there's a counter protest planned between essentially Australia's Antifa and some other feminist groups, the National Union of Students, women's caucus or something like that.
What are they protesting against?
Like, men have issues too.
They have high suicide rates, like, massive.
They're more likely to be killed on the job.
Look at, I saw it was almost parody, like, I'm sure you saw it too, in the UN Women's page on Facebook.
They posted something where it was like, 17% of journalists killed are women.
This is a disaster.
We have to face this problem and address it.
And everyone's kind of sitting there like, Like, wait, doesn't that mean the other 80 some odd percent
Yeah, we gotta get those numbers up.
We gotta get more female journalists killed to make things equal, right?
I mean, I've seen similar things like that.
Globally, 60 million children of elementary school age are out of school.
Half of them are girls.
Well, no duh!
But we're supposed to care more because girls are affected.
And people do care more.
Yeah, yeah.
It's sad, it's sad, but thank goodness we have people like you sticking up for men's rights.
Even though it's tough and you get all the slander, but it's good to have you.
When I was young and I started going to the slut walks before I got into this crazy world, you had my back and now you have Sydney's back, and thank you so much for that, Karen.
But we gotta move on to the next segment, so I'll see you guys later.
Bye!
I did not sleep well last night.
Oh, no!
How come?
It's weird, because I always take Tylenol PM, and it works like a dream.
You know, I accidentally put your normal Tylenol in your PM Tylenol bottle.
I'm so sorry.
Oh, I switched them by mistake.
Oh, no.
You'll probably be slightly less productive in the morning, all because of sorry old Ming.
I'm sorry.
Why would you do that, Ming?
I don't know, shitty old Ming.
I'm sorry.
Stupid, indulgent, wespering son of a... Slightly inconvenient, no one knows why.
Passive aggressive Chinese spy.
That's me.
That's me.
I'm.
so so
That's called the Blake Lively.
Oh my gosh.
If you ever saw The Shallows, this was every single shot of her swimming was this.
And in real life, if she did this with her mouth, she'd lose all her air and the great white would eat her.
Also, by the way, she doesn't have better vision underwater than a great white shark.
Little known fact.
Hey, everyone, show them you love them.
Quarter Black Garrett, what's the Twitter?
Is it QTR?
QTR?
That was too long.
Black Garrett.
Yeah, they wouldn't let me.
Doing a hell of a job there with the TriCaster.
Learning this new stuff.
We appreciate it.
Used to be Key Grip Garrett.
Was always a little bit of a thorn in my side because he was a smart-ass.
You know, he smoked too much.
You kicked that mostly.
I did.
I did.
And of course, Lauren Southern, thank you so much.
And Stefan Molyneux, Karen Strong, thank you.
We really appreciate it.
Next week we are going to have Razor Fist.
Actually, Razor Fist was going to be here this week.
Yes, he was.
And I hope his dad was sick.
He had to take care of him.
Really looking forward to Razor Fist.
And I know we also have Matt Iseman, who's going to be in third chair.
Owen Benjamin again, of course.
Hodge Twins, Bas Rutten.
We might even have Brian, world's strongest man.
I don't even know how we'll fit him in the studio.
I'm so excited.
I don't know how he's going to get through the door.
I have no idea.
We might have to have him with Too Cute Maddie, our female editor.
The only female editor we've ever had.
I'm very proud of that.
It does get awkward in the office sometimes.
Sorry Madison, or Mom if he's dressing me up, but there won't be a show Monday because we are going to be working on Possibly the biggest change my mind we've ever done.
We have some hidden camera stuff.
To give you an example, the team that puts this together, that Crowder Confronts that you saw this week, that was months of following this person.
We have videos that are months in the making, and then sometimes we work on them for months and nothing happens.
So that's what I'm talking about, the new era of the super videos here, because there are enough people at laddusclair.com who've joined up, and if you continue to join up, we can do that.
But it's not like Jimmy Kimmel where I can send out Guillermo I am Guillermo.
I am the Larry Budnum.
I have to go out, and actually we might need to find someone who can do some prosthetics for disguises.
So there's a lot of changes.
Oh, I'm working on that.
So what was it?
MonsterCon?
MonsterPop?
Uh, Monsterpalooza.
Monsterpalooza.
Yeah, I'm gonna be out there looking.
That sounds really sad.
What if you just took me to Monsterpalooza, but I wore a Comic-Con costume, like an Optimus Prime?
That'd be awkward.
Would they be really mad?
I don't know.
I think it's a video.
I'm looking.
I bet there's going to be a lot of them there.
I think we need to do that.
Something that would be completely out of place, but would still seem nerdy, but they would be elitist in their nerddom.
So this is what I want to talk with you about today.
You know, a lot of times people are looking for something.
I'm a 31-year-old guy.
Who gives a crap what I have to say as far as life advice, but it matters to some of you.
So this is something that actually was on my heart this week because I was watching my favorite movie ever.
So all this Me Too, the Black Lives Matter, the democratic socialism, it all spawns from the same evil.
It all comes from this idea of shifting the balance of power simply for the sake of shifting the balance of power.
It's the foundational philosophy of the left.
We all know it.
We've talked about it.
This sort of underdog theory.
It's known by another word.
Envy.
So, one of my favorite films is The Edge.
Have you seen it?
I have not.
I have not.
I want to, though.
I watched the trailer.
Silence.
You keep talking about it.
Silence.
I want to watch it.
As a matter of fact, let me say, the reason why is because it is my favorite film.
It is not maybe.
It is my favorite film, period.
I'll say that.
People give me crap about that all the time.
But go and watch the film.
Comment here.
Let me know what you think.
Whenever I talk with someone about this film, they're like, oh, that's your favorite.
Shouldn't it be Godfather?
Shouldn't it be... I think Chinatown was a better film, by the way.
Who cares about the Quaaludes and the 14-year-old?
It was a good film.
But The Edge is my favorite film.
Everyone comes back and says...
Yeah, it was pretty good.
No one comes back and says, no, I thought it sucked.
So this is one of those ideas where you're conditioned to not like films.
I get it.
There are a couple of lines in the film that might be cheesy.
There are a couple of green screen sequences that maybe don't hold up today.
But I think it's at least the most underrated film of the last quarter century.
And I just found out that the writer, David Mamet, is going to be on the same writer of Glengarry Glen Ross.
He wrote The Edge of the Untouchables.
Is it Ophelia?
I don't know.
He's the most prolific stage writer of our generation.
He's written a lot of great films.
He's going to be on the show.
I cannot tell you how excited I am.
He actually came out of the closet as a conservative with an article titled, I believe it was, I don't have it in front of me, why I'm no longer a brain-dead liberal, New York Times, I believe is where he wrote it.
That's funny.
I could be wrong.
Someone's like, who's New York Magazine?
But I don't know exactly where it was, so someone can maybe let me know.
I don't have a source for this.
I didn't prep for this.
It's like my mouth was getting dry so I had to drink, and that's awkward for people who are listening on audio.
By the way, subscribe on iTunes if you aren't for when you're on the road.
Here's the thing.
He wrote The Edge long before the article where he came out as a conservative.
And this is a big reason I love the film.
There are tons of reasons to love the film, especially when you rewatch it.
It's like a video game where you backtrack and there are Easter eggs.
Nearly every single shot, almost every line of dialogue means something.
But something that is singularly unique about this film, the billionaire.
Played by Anthony Hopkins, the character's name is Charles Morse.
Kind of a spoiler alert here.
Three, two, good.
The billionaire is actually the good guy.
And this relates back to the point I'll be making.
In the realm of cinema where the wealthy person is nearly always the big evil oil baron or the corrupt Wall Street banker, here's this film where Charles Morse, the billionaire, surrounded by artists, photographers, and even minorities, by the way, one of whom just gets the crap of him mauled out of a bear, way worse than the Revenant scene, the standout man of character, the true blue character, is the old white guy.
Patriarchy personified.
Charles Moore, throughout the film, he not only improves people's lives, but he saves them.
And the point is that sometimes shifting the balance of power merely for the sake of it doesn't take into account who's going to get the power once the shift is completed.
Sure, some of the worst people throughout history were powerful.
So were all of the best.
And if we try to strip power from people simply because we perceive them to hold it, as we're talking about now in these articles, you see them with Me Too.
That's the endgame with democratic socialism.
So if we want to strip power just because people have it, that's the reason.
Well, who's going to maintain the balance of power afterward?
Hillary Clinton?
The MeToo charlatans?
The LGBTQAAIP movement?
Feminists?
Just because they aren't Charles Morse?
Something else on the edge that really stands out to me is everyone in the film wants something from this billionaire.
At every turn, he doesn't know who to trust.
He doesn't know their motives.
It's incredibly isolating.
I really highly recommend this film.
There are a lot of undertones here that I could get into.
Hopefully I will with David Mamet when he's on the show.
But it's really easy to vilify people of power or perceived wealth You know why it's easy?
Because it's a lot harder to look ourselves in the mirror for the selfish pieces of garbage that we all are when we want something from those people.
I don't know.
It could be cheaper deodorant while we all vilify Walmart.
It could be cheaper gas when we vilify oil companies.
Or safer streets while we vilify cops.
You know, I've known a few wealthy people in my life.
I've been fortunate enough to know a few wealthy people.
No, I am not amongst them.
But I've seen it happen with them.
People like, um, I don't want to, you know what, okay, Mark, Kerry, Kevin,
all people I've seen with folks tugging at their sleeve, demanding
something of them. You know what happens when these people don't get what they want? Who's a d***, rich jerk?
And that's how the shift of power, just for the sake of it, begins.
It sprouts from the seed of selfishness.
I know people say, where are you going with this?
Because all of us do this.
The difference is it's a foundational principle of the teaching of the modern left.
To use an example, Kevin.
This is a real person.
An incredibly wealthy, I'd like to say, I feel fortunate to say, friend of mine.
I'm always uncomfortable asking him for anything.
Even though he's offered a lot.
You know this guy.
To give you an idea, okay, let me give you some examples here.
I'm trying to make sure they don't reveal identity, but I don't really think they care.
Let me give you two examples.
There are two videos completed here at Louder With Crowder.
This team never would have been able to do, if not for this man, Kevin, lending us his personal plane.
I know it sounds... People go, oh, white people problems.
Listen, yeah, the guy has a plane.
Good for him.
But you know why he lent it to us?
Just to be a blessing.
Just to be a blessing, not only to us, but to you, the fans.
One of them was a Crowder Conference, one of them was the whole YAF Conference because there was no way to get out there commercially and there were over 800 fans in that mess of a ballroom.
I wouldn't have been able to see.
He knew that we needed to get six crew members out to a location.
We couldn't afford to do it in time otherwise.
We wouldn't have been able to.
It was an unbelievable blessing that he, here, And if you don't ask for it, with a lot of these people you'll be surprised as to how generous they are.
It applies to every moment of your life, really.
This is how we tie it back to you.
Think of anyone you've ever really been mad with.
Your dad.
Your teacher.
Maybe your boss.
Your mom.
All people who at those moments in time were in a position of authority over you.
It comes down to submitting to authority, sometimes when appropriate.
The left wants you to submit to authority when it's the right people, based on identity politics, not based on morality.
Whereas, yep, as a Christian, I do believe there's a biblical basis for submitting to authority when appropriate.
So all these people, almost all the people you've probably disliked at some moment in your life had authority over you.
Now think of anyone, on the flip side, who's ever actually really helped you and been there when you needed it.
Someone who actually meant it.
We hear, oh, I got your back, bro.
What does that mean?
What does that mean?
Someone who truly meant it when they said they had your back.
Could it have been maybe your dad?
Maybe that teacher?
Maybe that boss?
Maybe your mom?
Now magnify that.
That's just a wealthy person.
That's just a big-name actor.
That's just a person in some kind of position of authority who, for some reason, you or I or society doesn't like.
And because of that, we automatically assume them to be in the wrong.
Why?
Because we so want them to be in the wrong.
That's what's wrong with democratic socialism.
That's what's wrong with Black Lives Matter, with Antifa, and with the Me Too movement.
It's based on so wanting a specific person or group to be wrong that we will do anything.
We can almost taste it.
And that's the foundation of the left today.
The point here is really there's nothing easier than to vilify people in positions of power or authority or success that we haven't achieved.
Because we haven't achieved it!
It's easier to just hate the people who have.
Some of them are bad people, of course, but it's even harder to look yourself in the mirror and be honest as to why you hate that person.
Is it them?
Is it the idea of them?
Or is it you?
So think of this in your life, if you're listening right now.
There's someone under whose authority, maybe you've been, maybe you've been difficult.
Maybe you've been giving them a hard time.
Maybe you've been vilifying them.
Maybe you're envious of them and you don't treat them so well.
Really, right now, I'm going to give you a second.
I want you to think of one person.
This is an exercise.
Pick one person in your life.
Do you think that person deserves how you treat them?
You think that person maybe has his or her own crap to deal with?
You think maybe that person could use someone to really trust?
Maybe it's a person with a plane!
Point is, it doesn't matter.
You've been thinking of you.
And we all do this.
Make it right.
Go today.
Right now.
Make it right.
Or at least make it right moving forward, starting today.
Because the truth is, there are just as many powerless assholes as there are powerful heroes, and vice versa.
It's human nature.
I'm not trying to shift the balance of power just for the sake of it.
I don't want to restructure society based on envy.
All I want to see are more good guys and girls at the top.
So you know what?
The left wants you to be that guy.
Don't be that guy.
Don't be the guy or the girl clawing at the guy who you envy.
Don't envy!
Aspire to be Charles Morse and watch The Edge and tell me it's not underrated.
