| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Hey, YouTube.
We'll get to tonight's Game of Thrones-themed episode in a second, along with why Ilhan Omar is evil.
I wanted to take a few seconds just to let you know that for the first time, this channel and its videos' organic traffic through YouTube have been drastically reduced.
It's more than demonetization, but right now a direct step in eliminating our ability to reach you, the viewer, at all.
My half-Asian lawyer, Bill Richmond, has reached out to official contacts.
We'll keep you updated, but in the interim, It's never been more important for you to support the show by joining Mug Club at lauderwithcrowder.com slash Mug Club and watching over there.
Please consider it.
If you haven't already, it's the only way this continues.
Enjoy the show.
Lauder with Crowder Studios.
protected exclusively by Walther and Hopper.
Crowd her.
Miss Wojcicki.
Who got your account back up?
It was probably that half-Asian lawyer of yours.
He's always good at fighting copyright strikes.
We should probably talk in the... Is this what you want, Steven?
To point a crossbow at your precious Susan Wojcicki while she sits on a toilet?
I'm just surprised it's not a Walther.
It would be both historically and creatively inaccurate.
You've always wanted me off YouTube, haven't you?
Yes.
But you refuse to let it go.
I respect that.
Even admire it.
You fight for what's yours.
I'd never permanently delete your channel, is that what you fear?
You're far too much fun to permanently take up.
You and your temper tantrums every time we ban your live streams.
You broke them.
What?
I found them in pieces.
Shattered.
Oh.
Your gifts for those Mug Club fools.
I tried to glue them back together with my own hands.
They're just stupid cups.
Say that word again.
And what?
You'll kill the only meal ticket you have?
You hit me with false copyright violations when you knew I hadn't violated any rules.
Why?
Hold up.
Let me finish and we can talk this over in my office.
I can't go back there.
The mugs are in there.
What?
Are you afraid of a few broken cups?
You'll never hit 4 million subscribers.
I will hit 4 million.
I was always going to hit four million.
I just wanted to take a s***.
I can't.
I'm sorry.
You're a strange animal.
That's what I know.
You're a strange animal.
I come to follow.
On your pissy penis.
You you
I have no idea if Jon Snow does this in the Game of Thrones.
Does he flap?
Does he flap to Jon Snow?
I don't know.
Game of Thrones themed episode because my, uh, my crew hates me.
Apparently.
So we have, uh, well, we'll go in a different order here.
Jim Morgan Jr., what's the one of the day?
Wine of the day is Mark Ryan Vionier.
I can rest it on my bosom.
Wishing you were him.
You're probably wishing you were him right now.
And we have Gavin McInnes on the show today, by the way.
Really excited about that.
Gavin McInnes.
A quarter black carriage.
Show him your hood pass.
I drink and know things.
Look, he's a midget.
And we have the Hodgetwins.
Hodgetwinstour.com here.
As the Unsullied.
Do you know your next tour dates?
Yeah, coming up in Ohio.
Somewhere.
All the major cities in Ohio.
You guys don't watch Game of Thrones, huh?
Is this what this is?
You look like I'm going to a gay bar.
Look up The Unsullied after the show, and I'm sure I'll receive a letter later.
Yep, absolutely.
Question of the day, Julian Assange, hero or villain?
While we're at it, Ilhan Omar, who we'll be talking about, villain or villain?
Let me know your thoughts.
I'll go with the second one.
We'll get to Assange and Omar in a second here.
But first, Attorney General Bill Barr, he said that he was going to release the Mueller report, full report, within a week.
This comes from RealClearPolitics.
This process is going very well, and within a week, I will be in a position to release the report to the public.
That's good.
In other news, Brian Stelter has succumbed to a stress-induced coma.
Yeah, so.
Oh, Jesus.
So we're told he's in stable condition and surrounded by people who love him.
Oh, this sucks.
Yeah, there you go.
Took a little, took a little time.
I know what you're thinking, by the way.
We initially were also more excited thinking that it was Attorney General Bill Burr.
Okay, dude.
I'm not saying the president didn't do some fucking horrendous shit.
All right?
Okay, I'm not saying that.
But on the other side of the coin, can we admit that not every false rumor just f***ing fell from the sky?
Okay?
I mean, you guys spread the f***ing rumors!
The pissing prostitutes!
It's brutal!
Right?
Like, well, BuzzFeed said it, and then CNN said it, and now f*** off, you guys are lying to yourselves!
Right?
I really would have.
I think government would have been more interesting.
God, that was dead on.
We should definitely have comedians testify before Congress more often.
We should.
Yeah, it would be a lot more fun to watch at least.
Sometimes they do, like Ted Lieu.
That was terrible.
I'm ashamed of myself.
Back to Julian Assange.
He was arrested at an Ecuadorian embassy in London.
This has been all over the internet.
Everybody knows that.
Everybody knows.
I know.
I just have to say it.
Even though they had an embassy there until he went there.
Officers made the move.
What are you laughing at?
I don't even know what they're laughing about yet.
But I'll take it.
They have some cider in their mugs, the Hodgkins.
And anything above 2% just messes them up.
It's basically Michelob Ultra or die for them.
Officers made the move after Ecuador withdrew his asylum, invited authorities into the embassy, citing the Australians.
They actually cited his bad behavior.
And the biggest complaints was his internet usage, not cleaning up after his cat, and his girlfriend's incessant lobbying for funding for Barbed Wire 2.
So that seemed to... That's not how the embassy works!
They don't fund anything!
Certainly not productions, Pamela Anderson.
By the way, this is one thing, Barb, it made me think about this.
You see Barbed Wire?
Have you seen, did you guys see Barbed Wire when you were a kid?
You remember all the posters though for Pamela Anderson?
Never.
When was it, why did it become considered sexism to be sexually attracted to women?
Like, we didn't put the breasts on the poster.
I understand thinking of a woman as a sex object.
I get it.
But being sexually attracted to a woman... This is a question for the female audience out there.
Do you find it offensive if a guy finds a woman sexy?
We hear that all the time.
That's sexism.
It's sexism to be physically attracted to a sexually attractive woman.
It doesn't mean that we think that's your only quality to offer.
It's nice.
We don't marry you just because of how you look.
It's just the window dressing.
It's the curb appeal.
If I was wearing this wonderful bustom outfit out in public as a female, what would I be asking you to do?
Not look at me?
But thank God they're unsullied because you'd have problems.
I like it.
Right?
All right.
Take that, Lee Gants disease!
I nominate PewDiePie, Donald Trump, and Will Smith!
Okay.
So Michael Avenatti was indicted on, this is a very white program, I get it, Hodgman.
What is that?
They don't know what to do right now.
They're like, what are we saying?
We gotta bring some cola.
He was indicted on 36 charges of tax dodging, perjury, and theft from clients.
It comes from the LA Times.
Grand jury alleges that Avenatti stole millions from five clients.
He used a tangled web of shell companies and bank accounts to cover it up.
So there you go.
36 charges.
Counts.
Alas, the probe into Avenatti has come to an end as we transition to a probe into Avenatti.
In international news, you better call Jesse!
Look, if you're gonna be a slimy criminal, do me a favor.
Avoid the spotlight.
If every, like, gangster movie that's ever been made has taught us anything, it's that if you're gonna break the law and be that guy, do it behind the scenes, where nobody notices.
Don't go on CNN and talk to Stelter!
I love how you all went silent and unison on my punchline.
We did it on purpose!
We let it hang!
We did it on purpose!
Remember, the more fun you have, the more fun they'll have watching.
Let's just make sure we hate doing this show.
In international news, because we're international here, after all, I was raised in Montreal, a Chinese company inaugurated an automatic, this is a real story, I'm sorry, PG-13 warning.
Automatic sperm extractor to help clinics collect one seed from donors who are reluctant to service themselves.
How much it was called, about 500?
Yeah, yeah.
Because that's how you'll solve your birth rate problem, China.
You can actually get those in the store?
Yeah, they sell it in the store.
It's a kiosk that they have.
Because that's how China's going to solve their problems, by being raped by robots.
Oh, man.
Reports, by the way, are actually emerging that these receptacles have customizable digital dirty talk options.
Oh, gosh.
How about you come over here and give Big Robot Mama a boy?
Yeah?
Boy, not a daughter.
No.
We want a boy.
Yeah.
Girl's a bro.
Listen, I'm aroused.
When you have a one-child policy, it is important that it's a boy.
Oh my gosh.
Can you imagine walking up and standing next to that thing, being the guy that it extracts?
Sorry, it just was going in and out.
I was just like, come on, who is the guy who tested this thing?
How does it feel to have the favorite return, Gerald Morgan?
He always has an axe to grind just because he's, you know, he's smart, but, you know, not funny.
And so then he tries to send it the other way.
It's not fair.
It's not right.
And your soon-to-be marriage is a sham.
This is China in a nutshell.
I am the mother of dragons right now.
They work 20 hours a day.
They control a fifth of the world's GDP, but too lazy to masturbate.
That is the Chinese.
No time for self-satisfaction!
Gotta get SATs!
More high on SATs than both Hodgetwins combined!
It can't be one-size-fits-all, though, either, right?
I mean, they gotta have, like, different attachments.
I don't know.
Come on!
They're all this big.
Let's not get into the stereotypes here, because I'm not comfortable with it.
Hodgetwins, you guys agrees, right?
They didn't have to be a different attachment, right?
Oh, definitely!
They're the unsullied.
Plus it would be!
I'll bust that thing up!
Moving on.
I hear the R2-D2 sound from this.
Alright, we get it.
Are we having fun yet?
Finally, a lawsuit claims that TGI Friday's potato skins contain no actual potato skins.
This comes from Reuters.
That's how they know it's a slow news media.
When they're not editing flotillas and trying to vilify Israel, they're talking about TGI Friday's potato skins.
The claim is the company misleads consumers by selling potato skin snacks that contain potato flakes, potato starch, but no skins.
It's actually part of a giant class-action lawsuit.
It also claims that Snickers don't really satisfy Funyuns, don't contain any fun, and that Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez isn't really black.
There's a lot wrong with that.
The Congresswoman's black scent caused quite a stir online this week.
I need everyone to be quiet because we actually, I think, here to address the controversy right now is Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Ms.
Cortez, thanks for being back on the show!
This is what a Congresswoman sounds like!
What up, what up, S.E.!
Okay, what's happening right now?
What you talking about, Stephen?
Congresswoman, we wanted to talk with you about the fallout from your recent appearance at the Al Sharpton event.
Oh my gosh, I know, Stephen.
It was dynomite!
Some say that you may have been pandering to the largely African-American crowd.
Stephen, I've heard the criticism from the haters, and let me just say that's some Okay, all right.
It seems like you might be doing it right now.
Again.
You're the one who panders, fool!
Or should I say manders?
No, let's not.
Let's try and stay on topic here.
Listen, this is what happened with Hillary Clinton before, then Joe Biden, and some might argue the DNC has a long history of trying to play up to different minority groups.
Oh, damn!
Oh, you just got knocked the f**k out, yeah, yeah!
Oh, yo, yo, Omar, we're all stars at s**t!
Okay, what are you talking about?
What's happening?
My man just dropped that d***, clown!
You see that, Holmes?
No.
Sorry, that was on the peripheral there.
I'm very lost at this point.
Anyway, Stephen, code switching is a very common rhetorical tool in community activism.
By communicating in the vernacular of the audience you're looking to motivate, it helps to connect with them on a deeper level.
And I believe you and I both know exactly what that means.
And what's that?
Shoot!
Why you gotta play the fool?
You straight up acting like a... No, no, no, no.
Congresswoman Ocasio-Cortez, everybody.
No, that's enough of that.
You guys come back in and save this here.
Save it.
Let's get rid of her.
There you go.
Oh, what a loser.
You were saying something about Cortez and her voice there.
Yeah.
What was I saying?
Because I had some of that cider.
Man, that was horrible what she did, talking to those black people like, Black people, go, you'll get them, girl!
Yeah!
Right?
It's like, she sees black people as like, Servants.
Servants.
Like, uh, what's his name?
Morgan Freeman on Driving Miss Daisy?
Miss Daisy, I'm gonna make me some water!
He's gonna make himself some water?
Yeah, whenever he had to go to the bathroom in that movie.
I loved that movie.
Come on, Miss States!
We're going to the stove!
The Piggly Wiggly.
Look, nobody there called her on it either.
Exactly what you heard.
You get them, girl, right?
And the other was like, come on!
Come on!
And she just kept going further and further into it and nobody said anything.
Why?
The only people that was upset was white people.
Really?
Who were there?
No, like, on social media.
Nobody black stood up and said anything.
I mean, but he pissed, like, legitimately pissed you guys off?
Yeah.
Right?
Yeah.
Was it just, like, because it's pandering?
Let me ask you this, because, you know... Disrespectfully.
Because your message should be the same for regardless of the group you're talking to.
Right, yeah.
She changed her voice, and I was like...
Let me ask you this, because, you know, my father, Darren, books the show.
Everyone else was afraid to book.
Most guests, surprise, wouldn't appear on the show when we first started.
So he often hangs out and takes you guys to lunch.
Does he ever slip into the black guy voice with you guys?
Because every now and then he does that with black people.
Like, hey, what's happening?
Nah, he kept getting whiter and whiter.
Like, this guy's alright.
He's got a strong message.
We call them places to healthy.
Panic!
That's about as white as you can get.
You guys loved it!
Gluten-free.
You have to be the whitest person in the world to eat gluten-free.
Hey, by the way, this week's trivia contest winner is Sophia Lazarus, who correctly answered that Ben Shapiro was a conservative I made uncomfortable by not wearing pants.
Before we move on to everything wrong with Ilan Omar, Which I should have probably mentioned in the outset.
Because people are going, what are you going to do?
And I think it's necessary to get him to Illinois.
But before that, obviously Game of Thrones this Sunday.
Apparently I'm supposed to do a review of the show, but we may be on the road doing a Change My Mind instead.
Everyone here watch Game of Thrones, you guys watch- I don't get it.
I've seen every single episode, I don't like the show.
You don't like the show?
No, I don't like the show at all.
Why not?
I think it's terrible writing.
No, I mean, tell me why you don't like the show.
Everything about the show is crappy.
Everything about the show is crappy.
When we were picking a scene to parody, we literally couldn't find a single scene to parody because nothing was iconic enough.
It's that dull.
There's no iconic dialogue.
Aside from some getting their head crushed, there's no iconic scenes.
Battle of the Bastards, there are three episodes.
Battle of the Bastards, Red Wedding, and the one where the White Walkers finally show up and they're at the coast.
Those were cool.
And the rest, here's the thing, I really want to like the show.
I really want to like the show.
Tens of millions of people, maybe even more than that, disagree with you.
Vehemently disagree with you.
Yeah, they also watch Transformers 5.
You know what?
That's true.
Are you guys watching at all?
Game of Thrones?
I got a joke in my show.
Oh, I can't give it away.
If you want to see the joke, go to a tour date which has yet to be announced because it had a cider.
It's on the website somewhere, we think.
Somewhere in Ohio this month.
I like shows that are in this kind of rough timepiece.
I know it's fictional, but it kind of portrays the time.
I enjoy that.
I think the writing is actually much better than you give it credit for.
I don't like the amount of sex that it has.
I don't like the amount of violence.
I couldn't care less.
No, it has nothing to do with the sex or the violence.
It's just so weak.
You didn't say it was.
I was giving my opinion.
Everything about it is weak.
It's not true!
I've seen every single episode.
Every single episode.
Fake news.
Fake news.
Okay?
We were just talking about this one.
The angry, short, lesbian girl.
She joins the assassins.
They don't have faces.
What are they called?
The Faceless Men.
They're called the Faceless Men!
You can't get any more creative!
I know!
They're the Faceless Men!
That's gold!
Great writing, George Martin!
It's obviously pretty good writing.
I think you're just being critical.
I think it gets a free pass, along with films like Lord of the Rings.
How does he get a free palette?
Because it's medieval, and people who play Dungeons and Dragons and want to fantasize about a life that they don't live like to feel as though this is cool.
I mean, I'm sitting there, and I'm watching Daenerys get chubbier as each season goes by, getting on dragons.
And she's, OK, hold on a second.
I don't like Daenerys.
She got ripped by Aquaman, and now she's traveling with dragons, and the midget is an alcoholic, and the guy with, I just, and this whole army of people have no balls.
Sounds like the inner cities.
You know nothing, Steven Crowder.
All right.
See, that's how weak the writing is.
The Game of Thrones.
You threw out a reference, and it's that unentertaining?
No, it's because you're confused!
You're confused to get into it.
You look at this.
You threw out a Game of Thrones reference in this entire room.
You could have heard a rat piss on cotton.
That's how unfunny it is.
I guarantee somebody laughed.
Alright, so some context.
Ilhan Omar is the worst.
The absolute worst.
She's the congresswoman from Minnesota, not to be confused with the other oddly named terrorist supporter, Rashida Tlaib, representative from Michigan.
A lot of people get that wrong, so I want to make sure that people understand that.
You guys are familiar with her, right?
Yeah, they're horrible.
They meaning these two women.
But while we're talking about not- not Tlaib, who are we talking about?
Omar.
Omar.
Okay, I wanted to make sure.
That was a pop quiz to see if you were paying attention.
Did I pass?
She's a freshman congresswoman, hasn't really accomplished a whole lot, but you likely already know her name.
Why?
Because the media has been promoting this woman non-stop.
She's been on the cover of Time, Newsweek, Rolling Stone, New York Magazine.
So, she went on Colbert last night, where they discussed, they discussed quite a bit, but they mainly discussed the fallout.
Some of her recently, as she puts it, misconstrued, we'll get to that clip in a second, pro-terrorist, anti-Semitic comments, specifically the ones about 9-11.
Well, hear her say it.
You will have people come after minorities for things that they say they might have insinuated.
No, it's things you actually said.
People like the folks on Fox and Friends that actually say those words.
It's not about insinuation.
People make it their career to go after Fox and Friends.
It's amazing.
There's an entire site, Media Matters, that just, it is just a list, a laundry list of Fox and Friends got this wrong.
This is what they ate for lunch at the Fox, at the News Corp cafeteria.
This is one thing they always say, that you would never hear it about people on the right.
Well, no, you hear it all the time.
By the way, this is what you actually said.
Care was founded after 9-11.
Because they recognized that some people did something and that all of us were starting to lose access to our civil liberties.
Someone did something.
That might be the biggest understatement I've ever heard.
Something went down.
She also, by the way, referred to the Pulse nightclub shooting as a simple misunderstanding.
Pearl Harbor as a whoopsie daisy and said the 93 World Trade Center bombing was nothing more than college hazing with a couple of kids and black cats.
That's not all that's wrong with her.
Let me give you just a few more reasons as to why she's awful.
Here's one.
She's anti-science.
OK?
And you hear this about the right all the time.
In February, the United States Powerlifting Association, they banned male to female transgenders from competing as women.
And it's so funny.
I have this from the story.
As though they need to cite this at all.
Citing men's biological advantages.
Everyone here is going to laugh.
It's like powerlifting.
They had to cite men's biological advantages.
It's almost like it's self-explanatory.
No.
Not to Ilhan Omar.
She sent an angry letter, okay, demanding the Minnesota Attorney General investigate the powerlifting organization.
What?
Stating...
What?!
The myth that trans women have a, quote, direct competitive advantage is not supported by medical science, and it continues to stoke fear and violence against one of the most at-risk communities in the world.
No advantage?!
Someone wants to have a word with you!
you.
He lived as a man until he was, I think, 32, and then decided to beat the hell out of women.
By the way, her quote, most at-risk people, yeah.
In Islamic countries around the world, they are the most at-risk people.
There's not a lot of people that look like me with boobs and a hairy chest in Islamic countries.
Second only to the at-risk people who the men beat the hell out of when they compete in combat.
You're talking about Fallon Fox there?
Yeah, yeah.
No, Omar didn't do that.
We have a lot of faults we can find with her, but I don't want to... But doesn't Omar have enough battles to fight?
She has to pick up the transgender movement?
Well, hold on a second.
This is what's so amazing to me.
Like, you're a United States representative.
Yeah.
And you decide that this is going to be the fight you're going to pick.
With the Minnesota Powerlifting Association.
And saying there's no direct competitive advantage, it's not supported by medical science.
And also, this is what they do, they say, it's not supported by medical science, you have to accept it wholesale.
And then they use the flip side with, if you don't accept climate change, science.
Meaning that the Kyoto Protocol.
Or the Paris Accord will actually fix China's emissions standards.
If you don't buy that, all of a sudden you're anti-science.
But then they say, it stokes fear and violence against one of the most... So here's what that means.
If you say, hold on a second, men who become women actually do have some biological advantages.
They are going to accuse you of committing a hate crime, a race crime.
Right, hate speech.
Because you are driving hatred toward the most at-risk community.
Really?
Actually, all I'm doing is saying that when you're a guy, you're a little stronger than when you're a girl.
Just a little bit.
Just a little bit.
Just saying.
Bone density, fast twitch muscle fibers, reaction time.
We're going to do a whole episode on that because now there have been so many trans people just beating the hell out of women in competitions.
It's the worst thing you can do for female athletes in the world is say, anybody who's a man that wants to compete as a woman now, we're going to break all of your records.
You're never going to win another medal again as long as you compete.
I'll tell you what, I hate to sit with the WNBA going on.
There's one person that can dunk, they'll be God, okay?
Here it comes, baby.
We go, yeah, yeah, we believe.
Here it comes, baby.
Bam!
Methinks Nike regrets doing that retirement jersey for Dwayne Wade so early.
Just give them a weave, they're none the wiser.
Now, next reason, they'll probably end up on the floor at a WNBA game, that or on a Spirit Airlines center aisle.
Here's another one.
She's an anti-Semite.
And by the way, she's not anti-Semite.
She just hates Jews, okay?
Omar says... I thought those were synonyms.
She hates Jews?
No, because anti-Semite can technically include Arabic, and I understand people who say they use it as cover, but you know what?
Let's just say she hates Jewish people.
She says the Jews have hypnotized the world.
The U.S.
is controlled by a cabal of wealthy Jews.
All classic anti-Jewish tropes.
And I know you're going to hear the left say, well, what about King?
OK, score one for you.
All right?
One.
Put that up in the score.
Here's the thing.
There's a difference between, I think, misspeaking, saying something stupid, or even saying something, maybe once, that could be a little earnestly racist or prejudiced coming from a blind spot.
Here's the one thing, too.
It's not just about misspeaking.
I think everyone, black or white, has probably said something that if you look back and say, you know what?
That was a little bit racist, and it came from ignorance, and doesn't mean hatred.
I don't think we should hang people for even that.
No, I definitely agree, and I've definitely done that before.
I said something one time that was kind of offensive to a person that I was with, and I was like, ah, crap, right after it.
I felt bad.
It was them yesterday!
They kicked your ass behind the dumpster!
Look, that's why I have a wig on.
They did a number on my head.
They did.
They did a dance on your head.
Anyway, the point is this happens on both sides, right, when people are in the public eye.
But here's, with Omar, she knows exactly what she's saying.
She repeatedly doubles down on it.
It's not a dog whistle.
We hear that term all the time, dog whistle.
No, she knows exactly what she's saying in the context in which she's saying it.
It's not a misspeak.
It's a worldview.
By the way, a worldview that comes directly from where?
Where?
Can anyone guess?
Where?
What?
The founder of the feast, Muhammad!
Yes, exactly.
Send your paintings at Ask Crowder.
Exactly.
Well, look, it seems like no matter what, Jews and Christians are always fair game.
Jews have been the most persecuted people in the history of mankind, right?
And you have somebody, and really no one else, Jews and Christians, if you say anything about any other group, You're immediately somebody who's either, hate speech, or like she said, you're picking on the most at-risk group of people in the world.
In the 1930s in the United States, we had tons of people that, not anti-Semitism, hated Jews.
That's a better way to say it, right?
In 1939, there was actually a poll that said only 39% of Americans thought that Jews should be treated like the rest of the people in the country.
The year before that, only 60%, or actually 60% thought that Jews were basically bad people, they were scheming, they were connivers, and that they controlled the money supply.
Sixty percent.
That's why when something like this happens, what she says about the Jews, you have to stand up and say, no, we're not going to go back to the place that we were.
It's too easy.
I think she saw the progress the Jewish people had made, and then she saw the Weinstein story as her opening.
He undid about three decades of good Jewish faith.
I mean, for the sake of politics, people are going to turn a blind eye and say, oh, it's OK to pick on Jews.
It's OK to just say that Israel's terrible.
Well, yeah, it's fine, right?
You guys know.
Farrakhan.
You know what I'm talking about.
What's happening?
You know what I'm talking about.
See, that was my dad.
I guess he's been on his best behavior with you.
And if you doubt any of this, by the way, when we're just talking about Jews, because I know there are going to be a couple of people out there in the comments section like, oh, I knew you were working for Benjamin Netanyahu.
Let me go to my next point.
She's actually pro-terrorist.
Before that, though, hit the notification bell because subscriptions don't mean a whole lot.
They mean less than ever on YouTube.
Organic reach has gone down dramatically.

Okay, here's the next reason.
She's actually pro-terrorist.
And I don't mean kinda sorta, she's literally proactively pro-terrorist.
She begged for compassion in ISIS sentencing, voted in support of life insurance payouts for terrorists.
If I'm not mistaken, I think it was after San Bernardino where she wanted to make sure that they still got what, they get what, I get mine Larry, but you killed The vote was 127 to 2.
She was one of the two.
The other guy thought there was an amendment on it that he didn't like, but the rest of the bill was fine.
Yeah, it was two who voted against it, and the first guy said, like, oh, hold on a second, I think this could be misconstrued.
They clarified it, and he said, oh, OK, I was wrong about that.
And she still said, no!
No!
Why?
Because Jews.
So, wait a minute.
A terrorist can go blow himself up, kill millions of, well, hundreds, maybe even thousands of people, and get paid in life insurance?
Yes.
Pretty much.
Well, you can put yourself in a situation.
San Bernardino.
Well, not anymore, but she wanted to make sure that they could.
She wanted him to?
Yes.
They were trying to pass a law that would ban that, that would put certain limits, that it was a terrorist action, and there was no life insurance policy for the insurance company to have to worry about, right?
And she said, no, you can't do that.
If he goes and shoots 27 people and they get shot by the cops, he died.
You have to pay out.
What?
That's what she was saying.
I remember when I saw my life insurance policy, if I killed myself within two years, I wouldn't get the money.
Well, I wouldn't get it.
My family wouldn't get it.
Well, no, you still wouldn't get it if you killed yourself.
But if you committed a terrorist action and the cops took you out, you're aces.
You're aces, yes.
Still good.
By the way, I'm not misusing literally.
Here's a clip.
She laughed literally about Hezbollah, Al-Qaeda, and she said, as we already said, we'll run the clip again because I think it's important that 9-11 was just something some people did.
Just here it is in totality.
The professor said Al-Qaeda.
He sort of, like, his shoulders went up and, you know.
Yeah, he's in command here.
Al-Qaeda, you know.
He's an expert.
It's just a few people burned in cages.
It was founded after 9-11.
Because they recognized that some people did something And that all of us were starting to lose access to our civil liberties.
She also just sounds crazy.
Did something?
Who are you, Rafiki?
Did something?
I don't know!
What do you think they did?
Your guess is as good as mine!
Is that upspeak?
Yeah, she sounds like the Andy Kaufman character from Taxi.
No!
They did something?
Yeah, they blew up a bunch of people on a bus.
No!
She says after 9-11 they had to create C.A.R.E.
to protect them.
C.A.R.E.
is a designated terrorist organization, most notably, by the way, by the UAE, where they still have indentured servitude.
They have a little bit of experience with it.
By the way, just a clarification, C.A.R.E.
was started in 1994.
What did she say?
She said after 9-11.
Oh, yeah.
So, you know, quite a few years.
We don't have enough time to go through all, but look into CARE, look into their ties to Hamas, funneling money to Hezbollah, look into their fake hate crimes that they've perpetrated, all of these hoaxes on the American people, and if you still aren't convinced, remember, this is the organization that brought you Clock Boy.
So, that should be... They helped Clock Boy try to sue Ben Shapiro!
What?
And lost!
That's care!
And funneled money to Hezbollah.
All right.
And here's the first reason why I think she's absolutely awful.
And this might surprise a lot of you.
So this next one, it's a little bit difficult for me to set up.
I don't know exactly how to frame it.
She married her brother.
Now, she actually married her brother.
Rip it off like a bandage.
Yes.
Just say it.
She began her political... Did you guys know this?
Yeah, I knew it.
Did you really know it?
Yeah, I really knew it.
She's horrible.
Yeah, it gets worse, though.
So, when she began local news outlets, they uncovered, early on in her political career, documents suggesting she might have married her brother, presumably to commit immigration fraud.
I think 2Q Maddie has some headlines here.
What?
Biological brother?
Well, yes.
Now, I say suggesting, don't do it, it's only gonna make me mad and I'm on a roll here.
I say suggesting she married her brother because it started with sources which uncovered her ex-husband's name on her marriage and divorce records, okay?
And they happen to be exactly the same as her brother.
Ahmed Nur Sed Elmi, I might not be pronouncing that correctly.
I don't care because America.
Now, some people may say that's just like John Smith over there.
That's why I say it could be suggesting.
We don't know.
I don't know.
Just like Silva in Brazil is like Smith.
But!
Now I'm gonna give you that one.
But if we continue on down the research trail, school records also confirm that the man she married was living in her father's house in high school.
Social media posts show the guy that she claims was her ex-husband now calls her children his nieces.
She refers to them as their uncle.
That's awkward.
That was like a big coincidence.
Who's your favorite uncle?
Papa?
I mean that's really...
She's the cool aunt and their mother.
Now, I consider it beyond the realm of suggestion, however.
All of this, I encourage you to research it.
Go hit the sources that are listed on the page here.
And for people complaining, why didn't you just put it in the description?
It would be too long.
You can see the sources right there on the screen.
Just hit rewind, hit pause.
I do consider it beyond the realm of suggestion, however, when you take into account that her brother's high school enrollment records list his date of birth, April 4, 1985.
OK?
OK.
Anyone want to guess the birth date of her ex-husband according to official marriage documents and divorce proceedings?
What is it?
What is it?
April 4th, 1985!
Oh my gosh!
So please, if you find this too outlandish to be true, I encourage you to look at the evidence for yourself.
It doesn't look good.
The story broke, the guy deleted all of his media accounts, and her response, I remember her official statement, she denied it, and she said a difficult part of my personal history that I did not consider relevant in the context of a political campaign.
She said the insinuations that he's my brother are absurd and offensive.
Okay!
He is your brother.
How about any proof?
How about a shred of proof?
I mean, if people are saying you're banging your brother, wouldn't you offer any proof?
Just trot out your non-brother husband and shut everybody up.
Easy.
Now, is it possible?
Because I have to, in the spirit of fairness, is it possible that she just married a man who happened to have the exact same name as her brother, happened to have the exact same birthday as her brother, happened to live in the exact same house as both her and her brother, and did not be her brother?
If I had an eight ball, it'd say, you're retarded.
it. It is unbelievable. That's worse than banging the goats.
But it is in line with it.
Which, by the way, we don't know what her brother's up to today.
He deleted his social media.
I wonder why.
Both of those could be included in this story.
We have no idea.
And it's a crime.
If she used it for immigration purposes, it's absolutely a crime.
I'm less concerned with that as I am with children with webbed toes.
Yes!
This is like Arkansas.
Sorry.
We do that here.
AOC Press, the Twitter account AOC Press is really funny.
Sometimes they post something.
I didn't say this.
That's why I have to say that.
It's really interesting that she can post a picture of her husband on National Siblings Day.
I thought that was pretty good.
I was like, OK.
This is what bothers me most about Omar, OK?
Now, I'm not doing the Judge Jeanine thing, saying, you wear a hijab?
Does that mean you follow Sharia law?
Do you hate America?
No, no.
But here's the thing.
If you look at the totality of the policies that she supports, if you look at the organizations she supports, these organizations, by and large, support countries that implement Sharia law.
Or they've outright talked about having Sharia law, Sharia courts.
Sharia law is 100% irreconcilable with the Constitution, OK?
And by the way, all of these problems that we're bringing up Brothers, aiding the Jews, being pro-terrorism, they're all congruent with Mohammed's teachings.
That's the issue.
What really bothers me, though, I think most about Ilhan Omar is how much this showcases, it's actually a blessing, I guess, how much it showcases the left's hypocrisy.
Let me paint for you.
Okay, let me paint for you, just to try and drive the point home here, if I could, for a moment, alright?
Put on your imagination cap.
A United States congressman came from the hills of West Virginia, who just hates how all them Jews ruin everything, the Jews control all the banks, the Jews control the entertainment system, and he bangs his sister.
He'd be mocked and booted before Colbert's opening monologue.
That guy is Ilan Omar!
He is Omar!
She just happens to be brown and Muslim.
There you go.
We have Gavin McInnes.
What are you going to say real quick?
I like the guy from West Virginia better.
I like that guy.
Hodgetwinstour.com.
We have Gavin McInnes coming right up.
Yes!
Open your mind.
Open your mind, let us begin our quest to find the new sound.

Last week, we introduced you to the Athene Cunicularia, known by its common name, the Burrowing or Ground Owl.
It lives in parts of North and South America, infesting your grasslands, deserts, and increasingly, your neighborhoods.
Rather than take to the skies like other glorious birds of prey, he chooses to live in the dirt, like a subterranean scumbag.
Of course, many argue it's not our place to question God's creations.
But the Lord has no place here, as the ground owl is clearly the devil's work.
Either that, or the Lord has made a terrible mistake.

I'm not entirely sure, is that cultural appropriation for Pogo to do that?
I'm not sure.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know what constitutes cultural appropriation.
If you're just taking a beat?
If you're sampling?
I have no idea.
Maybe our next guest can answer the question for us.
You know him.
You love him.
It's been a while.
It hasn't been that long.
It's been about a month, month and a half since he's been on the program.
You can go to DefendGavin.com as well as NoHate.com with Miles McInnes.
But right now, today, we have Gavin McInnes.
How are you, sir?
I'm good.
You know, it's a trip.
When I was told, hey, uh, you want to be on Crowder's show, I go, I can't be on Crowder's show.
I'm watching Crowder's show right now.
And then they go, well, just turn on the camera and then you can be on the show that you were just watching.
And I'm like, whoa.
And now I am watching it as well, which is wildly uncomfortable.
So you're watching me, watching you.
Uh-huh.
There is nothing we can do.
Watching me, watching you.
Uh-huh.
Okay.
All right.
I see where this is going, except not really.
Seems to me like you have some new technology, new TriCaster technology that you're just futzing around with over there.
Very confused.
Technology more like.
Oh, well, I don't know how I feel about this.
Are you from Cats?
What's going on with your ensemble?
This is one of the characters from Game of Thrones, apparently.
I've seen every episode and I'm very ashamed.
If you were a Game of Thrones character, Gavin, who would you be?
I'd probably be the midget, because I'm short.
Okay, I guess that's it.
I thought you were being cats because in the new Cats musical they're making it to scale so buildings are gonna be super huge and you know the door will be gigantic and stuff like it is for cats.
That sounds wildly expensive and sounds like it could be a worse disaster than Spider-Man on Broadway.
Remember that when it was opening weekend and the guy just fell and broke his back?
Yeah, people kept dying.
They wanted to make it just like Spider-Man, so they sent actors flying over the audience, and people kept getting broken legs and spina bifida, and some chick got AIDS when a guy cut himself, and eventually they had to shut it down.
That sounds like Spider-Man meets Rent.
Gavin, what is going on?
Or Cats, I don't know, I assume there are dirty needles around the green room somewhere in either one of those productions.
Can you give us any status update on what's going on with your lawsuit against the Southern Poverty Law Center?
It's amazing going through all these court documents and reading all your jokes out of context.
Like, they didn't include my introduction to naked fart yoga on nohate.com.
They didn't include how to fight a baby or my autobiography, How to Piss in Public.
But they have all this really serious jargon, like, and then he called Asians rice balls.
And I'm reading it going, Has it occurred to you that that person was kidding when they said rice balls?
Let's try this, your honor.
Can you tell me of another human on earth in 2019 or any surrounding year Who would use that in a serious way?
These damn rice balls are coming in here, taking our job.
It's not used in that context.
It was obviously a joke.
It may be if there were an uncle who were racist, but didn't know how to use pointed racist language.
You know what I mean?
Yeah, back in my day, we called them rice balls.
And the people of color, we called them, uh, colored people.
Maybe, you know, I could see it.
An Asian immigrant who decided that he was just going to become an anti-Asian racist.
And he was like, we come here.
I don't want me to come here.
I'm so mad at all rice balls.
We are rice balls.
You're a rice ball.
You're a rice ball.
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no!
You, rice ball, no spit for me, rice ball!
That's in your creation, okay?
Shut it!
Alright, yeah, pretty much, that sounds about right.
So, do you have any jokes that you've made that worry you most?
Do you welcome the day in court where you can talk about these things in front of a judge?
Or do you go, ooh, yeah, that one out of context could be troubling?
No, I think I heard, was it Zach Galifianakis?
This one, you may have to beep this, but Zach Galifianakis said, I didn't know s*** was a derogatory term for, I don't know if this is Zach Galifianakis, by the way, but I can't remember who said this joke, but they go, I didn't know s*** was a derogatory term for Asians, and I was skiing, and I was like, hey, do you want to hit the slopes?
And these two s*** got super mad at me.
That's very much like a joke that Sarah Silverman used to make until she slammed the doors behind her and said, now you can't use the word gay.
Hey, a couple of things since you were last on.
What's it been like for you now that we know there's no Russia collusion?
And then I wanted to get into the Candace Owens controversy from yesterday because I'm sure you have some opinions.
Ooh, that's juicy stuff.
Well, the Russian collusion thing Has not wavered.
Have you noticed this?
Right.
Stephen Colbert says, it's time to get our hopes back again, hopes back up again.
Rachel Maddow goes, I hope you enjoyed your victory lap, meaning now that we are going at the ACLU is threatened to sue to get 100% of the report, which doesn't exist in law.
We can't be outing witnesses.
You have a, there's no such thing as a 0% redacted report, but that's what they've demanded or they're going to sue.
Right.
So I think the left, it's sort of like these doomsday cults where they go, the world's going to end on August 19th.
And then on August 20th, you go, wow, you guys must be bombed out.
And they go, no, now there's more members.
Now we're more devoted to the cause.
Yeah.
More obsessed with Russia than ever.
Now we're really invested in our leader being a foreign agent.
That will be a big, big W for us.
No, I think that's a good point.
And the redactions, yeah, I think a lot of people understand how this works.
And it's always ironic to me, I've been watching the West Wing lately, again on Netflix.
And of course, this is where you always see the altruistic journalists that only exist in programs like this.
The left is always obsessed, like BuzzFeed, like most of the original Russia stories, right?
Trump pissing, watching prostitutes pissing on furniture.
I don't remember, the story became convoluted.
But they always say, well, it's very important that I protect my sources.
Release the full report!
All redacted means is that the copy you're seeing isn't 100% the same as the first draft.
And you know, if they release the full report, that missing sentence, that missing one line, that missing tiny word is going to be where all the collusion is hiding.
Right.
They are so, and it's linked to the Candace Owens thing, because it's about this myopic obsession So your stupid theory is that there's Nazis everywhere, lying behind every corner, and that Trump worked with Russia, and Trump's a white supremacist.
And that's my theory, and I don't want to hear anything else.
And you go, where's your proof?
Well, Candace Owens said Hitler wanted to make Germany great.
So Hitler was great?
Is that what you're saying?
What?
Right, yeah.
No, that's not what she said at all.
Also leaves out a big piece of the pie in that the Russians were not necessarily huge fans of the Nazis.
Quite a few people lost their lives in that little scuffle going on there.
No, it is, if there's going to be anything redacted, you know, this is one of, it's like, do you not see that the left, this is lost in them?
It's like, listen, You are the people who talk about alt-right trolls doxing.
We have to redact some information to protect the privacy of people because we're concerned.
Remember, again, you're the ones who wanted to kill kids in MAGA hats, right?
So I think it's a reasonable concern.
As with all legal documents in the history of law, that's how it works, folks.
Has this been the case with your ongoing suit with the SPLC?
And where can people go to find more updates on this?
DefendGavin.com has all the updates.
They had a motion to dismiss.
Tons of other people are getting involved.
We've got on DefendGavin.com, we have well over 6,000 different people contributing to this case.
And I think that is scarier to the SPLC than the money.
Because money is just rich guys writing checks.
But when there's that many people involved, and I've been told from insiders that this house of cards is crumbling.
I think they're outraged.
That their net has expanded so far.
So there are hard-working people at the SPLC with their nose to the grindstone.
And then they get a complaint coming in.
What's this?
Then they read it and go, what the hell are we doing here?
We're persecuting the Knights of Columbus.
They're an extremist group.
People are going to jail.
We're infiltrating social media.
Why are we talking about racism and sexism all the time?
Morris Dees can't keep his paws off me every time I'm at my desk.
So Richard Cohen goes, he's the president, he goes, don't worry, don't worry, don't worry, we're fixing everything.
Gavin is the worst guy in the world.
He's racist and sexist.
We're going to get rid of him.
And Morris Deeds, you're right.
You're right.
He is racist and sexist.
His behavior is not part of our culture.
It's not what we pride ourselves on.
So he's gone.
So they fire him.
And then people go, well, you're kind of corrupt, too.
I mean, you and the head of legal here, you don't seem to know what you're doing.
And they go, that's why we're quitting.
Me and Rhonda Brownstein, the head of legal, we're both quitting.
And we have a black woman taking our place.
The black woman's gonna take over now.
Now are we cool?
I think what you're saying is you just need to hire a black female lawyer, preferably one who's transgender with rickets.
I identify as exactly that.
I don't know how you knew.
I guess you could sense... I just... I figured you get all the Trump cards if you bring a disabled, transgender, woman of color with rickets in there.
Some disease that should be eradicated, you know, by vaccines or vitamin D.
They keep reiterating their own racism and sexism, too.
Like, they got this woman in, and there's SPLC employees.
They have all these bloggers going, this seems like a great direction for the SPLC.
And they just show a picture of her face.
They don't say anything about her policies, anything about her experience.
They just show her gender and her race.
And they go, you see?
We're really doing a good job.
And it's a stark contrast.
It's a stark contrast to what happened with Candace Owens yesterday.
And we talked about this yesterday with the Hodgetwins.
You know, I don't agree with necessarily everything that she said.
And I think anytime you draw any sort of a positive comparison or analogy with Hitler, it's politically ill-advised.
But do we really think for any second there that people sitting there on that committee believe that she supports Hitler's genocide against the Jews?
Do you really think anyone believes that?
You can say she misspoke.
You can say maybe it was an inarticulate comment.
You can say maybe it was distasteful.
But do you really think she supports the death of six million Jews?
Let's comb through the entire continent from top to bottom and ask every single individual about Hitler and try to find one person who goes, I think you did a pretty good job.
I like him.
I think he's a good guy.
You could scour the whole continent with whale's teeth, find filament, go through.
You might find, like, four freaks, and they're not going to be articulate and successful like Candace Owens.
They're going to be morbidly obese with type 2 diabetes, a strange sort of festering corn on his foot, and a tick.
Or they could be one of our fine representatives from the great state of Minnesota.
You want some of this beer, by the way?
You know what, Leo?
Everything's in reverse.
All right, there we go.
Give me a little bit.
I'm going the wrong way now.
This is going off the rails.
No, that actually did happen.
For people listening on audio, you're going to have to go watch this.
This is so confusing.
When we were shooting a video, we were shooting in Texas and we had a sign.
I had a sign that said, not a Nazi, because we had this teacher, Professor Charles Hermes, who repeatedly referred to me as a Nazi.
And as I was taping this stand up, this Muslim guy drove by and said, What?
Are you badmouthing Hitler?
Greatest guy ever, man!
And drove off, so I think maybe you might find more than you bargained for if you peel back some curtains in Dearborn.
Well, he did laugh his head off, though.
No, he seemed pretty serious.
It was more of a maniacal laugh than a sarcastic laugh.
It wasn't like, ha ha ha ha ha, just kidding, bro!
It was more like, ha ha ha ha ha ha, Jews.
That kind of thing.
The SPLC is totally devoted to finding homophobia, sexism, racism, any kind of super-religious dogmatism, extremism, and you show them Islam and they go, excuse me, move, move.
By the way, that guy is being held at a party while playing beer pong.
Wait, no, not him.
His pug.
His pug.
It's enough.
Get out, Miss Omar.
Just let's go for the pug.
All right.
We have to get going here, Mr. McInnes.
It is DefendGavin.com and anywhere else that you want to direct people here as they can follow your ongoing battle with the SPLC.
Another thing I'd love people to check out is IMDB.com.
It's got a huge list of millions of movies.
You can see the cast of who was in the movie, box office.
There's also the parental guide, if you're not sure if your kids want to watch it or not.
They got Animal House there.
They just got a whole bunch of new releases on there.
And it's like rotten tomatoes, but not as fun.
Yes, it is a very valuable resource, and I appreciate you bringing it to our attention.

What do they all have in common?
They're all Walthers, who are a wonderful sponsor to this program.
We can't thank them enough.
And listen, there are a lot of good firearms out there.
We know that you have options.
I personally think that Walthers are the best that you can purchase.
But at that point, it's like a Mercedes, BMW, Saab.

Yeah, he was be-knownced.
He knew.

We have some Change My Minds coming up here pretty soon.
Still not sold on the Game of Thrones review and thanks so much to Gavin McGinnis.
I don't know, we have a ton of stuff going on.
I'm so tired of these wigs of effort we put in for you guys.
The headphone pressed one of these hairs into my ear, and it was like a metal wire, like a wire coat hanger.
I put it there.
Going in.
All right, so this is one of the closing segment, which is the reason some of you are here, and the reason some of you tune out.
All right, that's fair.
I still appreciate both of you being here.
So with YouTube's new algorithms, who knows how long you will be here.
I'm going to offer some advice here, which may seem more reckless than usual.
And I know that before I say it, some of you will hear it and say, Steven, doesn't this fly in the face of everything else you've told us as far as being disciplined, working smart, all of that?
No, let me explain something here.
The fundamentals never change, okay?
So if ever I layer something new on top of what we've discussed, know the fundamentals, discipline, honesty, goals, measurable progress, consistency, all of those things are most important.
Like I said, I've said this before, working smarter, not necessarily harder.
Always leaving the hard option on the table, though.
Always leaving that hard door open.
But any advice that someone gives you can't help you unless you're doing the fundamentals.
The day-to-day, when no one is looking, stays the same.
We're talking about extraneous circumstances here.
We often talk about becoming the kind of man, woman, person, Z, you want to be.
But let me start with something else here.
Let me start with the kind of man, because I'm a man, we'll just continue with man, I know there are women watching.
Let me start with the kind of man you don't want to be.
Don't be the man where something comes up.
Not only is that the kind of man you don't want to be, it's the kind of man no one else wants you to be.
What do I mean by that, something comes up?
Okay, let me ask you, how many of us know this person?
Could be a family member, could be a friend, could be an employer, employee, someone you work with, I don't know.
Someone whom you're relying on for something, doesn't matter what it is.
And, ah, man, something came up.
They're always late.
They don't come through on their promises.
They hand in their work late.
Plans get cancelled.
You have that person in your head?
Take a second.
Okay, now, let me ask you.
Do you admire that person?
Do you respect that person?
Don't be that person.
And I say this because I know that you're probably thinking of someone who's a real deadbeat, maybe a complete dirtbag, but guess what?
You do it too.
I do.
We all do.
The only difference between you and this person you're thinking of right now is that the something-came-up guy did it one too many times and it became a way of life.
Now, we often talk about making excuses.
We hear that a lot.
But here's the thing.
Think of anything you need to accomplish or that you seek to accomplish right now.
You don't need to make an excuse to not do it.
There's almost always a valid reason for it not to be completed.
That's why I hate the term making excuses.
How often have you told someone that they're making excuses and they come back with, well, it's true!
And guess what?
They're right.
There actually was traffic.
The printer did run out of ink.
They actually did get caught up on a work call they couldn't get out of.
People don't make excuses.
People take an out.
And that's why they get so indignant when you tell them that they're making excuses.
Because in their mind, they justify it.
And in reality, they're not technically wrong.
But you're upset because of your expectations of them.
My point is this.
The only difference between you and that person is how many times you've done it.
And you know what?
If you keep that in check, and you stay in line with all the fundamentals we've talked about, sometimes you do have to throw.
This is why I said this advice might seem reckless.
Sometimes you do have to throw caution to the wind, and be the guy who just bulldozes the somethings that come up.
There's always going to be something that comes up, and another, and another, and another, until you find yourself boxed in.
I want to see more people just bulldozing them.
Pick an obstacle.
Really, this is a challenge right now.
Pick an obstacle that's been holding you back.
Pick a fear.
Pick something that's come up, right now.
Go blow past it.
And I know some of you are saying, it's not that simple.
You know what?
Sometimes it is.
Think of when you were a kid.
I remember when we used to get into the lake or the pool in Canada.
It was really cold.
First dip of the season.
And I can remember dipping my toe in, working myself up, pacing back and forth.
And I remember with my brother, we'd say, one, two, three, go!
And neither one of us jumped in.
We'd do it maybe 15 times, three, go!
Until finally, one of us jumped in on three.
But what was the difference?
What changed between the first 14 times and the 15th?
Nothing but my resolve.
It was the same problem.
It was the same barrier to entry.
The water hadn't gotten any warmer.
I just decided that I was going to jump.
Now take that and apply it to a situation of actual consequence in life.
How much wasted time Could that be because something came up?
How many count to threes before you jump in?
Could be years.
And the only thing that's going to change for you to accomplish what you need to do is your resolve.
Just bulldoze the obstacle.
Fix your resolve.
Bite down on the mouth guard.
Tuck your chin.
Swing!
And yeah, listen, I get it.
Some of you are going to have a harder time doing this than others.
You might be at a more difficult point in your life.
A lot of it depends on how long you've been letting this go on.
Who cares?
Right now, bulldoze the obstacle.
Brush off the something came up.
Don't be that guy.
And I say guy because I'm a man.
You know what?
Women don't want a man who when the rubber meets the road, something came up.
Employees don't want a boss who when it comes time for paychecks, something came up.
Bosses don't want employees who when things are... Something came up.
The world, the life you want for yourself does not reward the man or the person who when it comes to fulfilling your purpose, something came up.
So the challenge this week is really simple.
What do you want for your life?
Think specifically of that something that's come up.
Alright?
Think of what you want.
Think of something that's stopped you from accomplishing.
Got it?
Take a second.
Pause it if you need to.
Now bulldoze it.
Period.
Don't be the something-came-up guy.
The world doesn't need any more of him.
