Louder With Crowder Studios, protected exclusively by Walther and Hopper.
And so it will be remembered on August 15th, 2019, by issue of legal decree, half-Asian lawyer Bill Richmond was to be a permanent fixture and third chair on Louder With Crowder.
He's coming for you, the half-Asian arm of the law.
🎵 Bill Richman, this is me 🎵 You two better stop playing games.
Half-Asian bulldog will bring the pain.
There's gonna be a lawsuit.
He swears on his Asian mark.
My club will never be dead and gone.
If you cross, then you know it's on.
There's gonna be a lawsuit.
And this half-Asian is the best in the world.
Half-Asian is the best in the world.
Tonight, he'll win this fight I'm gonna win this fight
I'm gonna win this fight I'm gonna win this fight
I'm gonna win this fight 🎵 Intro 🎵
🎵 Outro 🎵 You're a strange animal
That's what I know I know, I know
You're a strange animal I come to follow
I'm your spirit you
That's called clearing up my bad habit before we go on air.
Thank you so much for being here.
We have Razor Fist on the show today.
We're going to be talking about the economy.
Question of the day before we move on.
Do you think we're facing a recession?
How much do you trust the speculators, the predictors, the shamans, the oracles on Wall Street?
And who do you think would win in a fight between Chris Cuomo and Brian Stelter out of curiosity?
Really, that's code language.
That's a dog whistle.
Who's a bigger piece of crap?
A half-Asian lawyer, Bill Richman, is in the studio with me.
Hi, everybody.
How are you, sir?
Wonderful.
Good to be here.
You look more tan.
You said you've been taking tennis lessons.
I have, I have.
I just get yelled at every day by a Russian instructor.
Well that makes sense because they're quite a bit more coordinated than your folks and
we have, speaking of which, Quarterback Garrett.
What?
I don't know what that means.
And G. Morgan Jr.
still on the pain pills?
Yeah.
Yeah, absolutely.
Still working.
Let's combine that with the wine of the day.
Wine of the day is eternally silenced in honor of you.
Would you?
Yes.
No, this is for silencing you.
So we are going to be talking about Chris Cuomo.
Obviously, it's been a slow news week, and now they're projecting another recession.
Whatever.
I don't really buy it.
But before we get to that, leading the news, President Donald Trump.
This was my favorite story of the week.
It's fun.
President Donald Trump is said to have a strange pen pal diplomacy with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
This comes from Axios.
Trump has sent highly unusual, sharpie-written notes to the Canadian Prime Minister at least twice,
and when those didn't get Prime Minister Trudeau's attention,
apparently our president got a little more creative.
Oh, wow.
Okay, hey, Trudeau.
Trudy.
Okay, hey, I haven't been liking my doodles.
And I understand, frankly, you deserve something more special.
Okay, I'm gonna give you something more special with a full painting, okay?
Let's do a little Trudy.
Maybe a little forest, okay?
And then right here, I think I'm gonna add a nice little d***.
You know what, I don't think that's enough.
I think Let's do another d**k. Just another d**k. And a d**k. And a d**k here.
And with, listen, when you're drawing your d**ks, okay, when I add the ball hairs, you could, it's easy, you could do them, you could do them straight, I could do them straight, you could do them curly, I do them curly.
You know what though?
I look at this, you still, you still look lonely, okay?
Frankly, you could use a friend, so I'm gonna add a nice little Mohammed.
At the bottom right there, nice little Muhammad.
Look at that, we have Muhammad, the Prime Minister of Canada, at a forest full of friendly d**ks.
Just like you like it, okay?
Until next time, keep making America great again.
Happy payday, God bless.
We figured we just wanted to clear the palate right on the outset.
I don't want to be near that forest.
Hold on.
I don't hear any alarm bells.
I think we're fine at least for the remainder of this taping.
And obviously we're still watching the Jeffrey Epstein quote suicide.
We've been following this.
I don't really know what there is to follow.
There's not that much to follow.
A new report though claims that the two guards who were supposed to be watching Epstein fell asleep And then falsified the record.
This comes from the New York Times, so it's real news.
The guards were supposed to check in on him every 30 minutes, but instead they took a nap for three hours.
Highest profile prisoner.
Jealous.
Yes.
They took a nap for three hours.
America's most valuable prisoner was free to kill himself because two federal employees didn't read the tortoise and the hare.
Come on, pace yourself.
Did you ever read Aesop's Fable?
I remember as a kid being taught, my teacher was like, do you remember the lesson of that story?
The moral?
The word hair doesn't have an eye in it.
That's true.
That's also true.
Slow and steady wins the race.
I remember as a kid thinking that can't be true.
No, the real moral of the story is in the middle of a heated race, don't take a nap!
It's very easy.
Who made this a brilliant part of the Hare's running strategy?
Nobody gets cocky enough to take a nap.
That ESPN back then, interviewing him, like, well, I don't know, what do you think went wrong, Mr. Hare?
I don't know, the tortoise was just a better guy today.
Better man, hats off to him.
But looking back around that second term, I could have done without the four hours of REM sleep.
Exactly.
And look, I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but we took a nap.
That sounds way... I mean, seriously, there's just too much here.
I know.
I mean, it almost sounds too dumb to be... I know.
Not true.
It's like a bad B-movie where it's like, oh, we fell asleep for three hours.
No.
Come on.
That and the lady who lived in the shoe was just a slut.
She was a total and complete slut.
Once was a lady who lived in a shoe.
How do you have so many kids that you don't know what to do?
Her husband died.
Here's a hint!
Use a rubber!
That's a jumping off point, shoe lady.
She just regretted them after they were born.
That's the progressive version.
She was Asian.
There once was a lady who lived in a shoe who lived with eternal regret because of her myriad abortions.
The story broke today.
This next story.
Different children's story.
Congresswoman Ilhan Omar and of course Rashida Tlaib who has blocked me.
Which I think is actually illegal.
Half-Asian lawyer Bill Richmond.
Yeah, there's actually some problems with that.
When you're a public official.
Oh really?
Yeah.
Nice.
You can't do it.
And I don't even think I've ever tweeted her.
So she must have gone out of her way to block me.
She sought you out.
She knows who you are.
Well, she is from Dearborn.
This comes from Netanyahu who stated that Israel's law prohibits the entry of people who call and operate to boycott Israel, of which both women actively promote.
So really, this shouldn't be shocking to anybody.
Hello Stephen, are you in there?
I already told you, Omar, you can't come in the studio.
Why not?
Because you're just going to get on the show and tell people not to watch the show.
Yeah, and you support Hezbollah.
Hezbollah?
All right, you're not allowed in here, Omar.
Nope.
And by the way, if I'm not mistaken, their itinerary, I think, read Palestine.
Oh, really?
From Omar.
It didn't even mention Israel.
So why don't you just lobby Palestine to give you your papers?
Yeah, no problem.
They'll let you in.
And the entire article basically was blaming Trump for smearing them with their tweets.
And by the way, it mentioned nothing that these two said about their anti-Israel rhetoric and anti-Jewish rhetoric at all.
Said nothing about that.
Just that they're congresswomen that deserve entry.
I've looked everywhere.
I mean, on CNN, on HuffPo, on WaPo.
I haven't seen a single anti-Israel statement by either of them.
For that, you would have to go to her Twitter, but blocked!
You'd have to read all the other news out there.
Did you, uh, did you block Hezbollah?
Hezbollah!
They're so friendly.
Best friends?
No.
Speaking of the squad, by the way, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez has, uh, this week she picked a fight with Barstool Sports.
This was all over.
The congresswoman responded to anti-union tweets from Barstool's fan, this comes from Fox News, calling them illegal and directing Barstool employees to the AFL-CIO, with the CEO of Barstool Sports responding with, quote, show us your tits.
Oh.
Wow.
Yeah.
We also have this photoshopped because Smooth Manny, who worked here, didn't... We wanted to put this up.
I don't know what this is exactly, but he follows barstool sports.
So for people listening terrestrially, maybe you can make sense of that.
It's gotta be some treasure map.
Was it National Treasure?
I know it.
Yes.
On the bottom of this big gulp is a coded language from Benjamin Franklin.
Who knew?
Amazing.
Behind my Monopoly piece.
Yes, exactly.
That's where Nicolas Cage will find his non-direct-to-DVD sales.
Is there still direct-to-DVD?
What is the equivalent to direct-to-DVD anymore?
Most Netflix movies?
AOC, by the way, didn't miss a beat.
She jumped in, made a fool of herself.
This guy's probably joking anyway.
A lot of times he pokes fun at serious stories in the news, and she jumps in like it's real.
Unsurprisingly, referring to his tweet as racist.
Oh, of course.
So in entertainment news, actor and singer Jared Leto, you know because you're into the comic books, took to Instagram this week to show off his six-pack abs.
You can check it out in the current issue of Gerald Morgan's Browser History.
That said something else earlier!
I said don't explain the jokes!
I didn't explain anything!
There was actually a website... It wasn't an explanation!
Come on, when you're in this, when you are in this studio, come on, you can confirm this half-Asian Bill.
What?
We have to fix your computer from seizing up from all the naked gay pictures on there.
That's not true at all.
Yeah it is, it's just dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun-dun- I had a friend who was eight, maybe he was, I don't know if he was special, but he was deaf in high school, and there was a website, do you guys remember this website, it was like, it was, we're gonna have to bleep it, it was f***.com?
Why would I know that?
So, well the reason why was it was just a website that you would send to people, and it was just nothing but gay pop-ups, gay pop-ups.
And I remember saying this to my friend in high school, and I was on MSN.
Messenger.
We didn't use AOL.
Sorry.
I should have said MSN.
MSN sucks to begin with.
Laying the groundwork.
And I was talking with him, and I said, oh yeah, it's a place where you get video game cheats.
He's like, oh my god, that sounds so cool.
I said, yeah, here you go.
Here's the link.
I remember just sending that little blue highlight link.
And then, no response.
So it went on my merry way.
I thought, well, OK, I guess it didn't work.
20 minutes later, I get a window pop-up.
Oh, my god!
Oh, no!
Steven, you broke my computer!
You broke my computer!
My mom goes see!
And so what's so funny to me is that he was trying to swim through the sea of pop-ups to find my conversation window.
20 minutes.
Sheer panic.
It's a close, close, close, close.
I did that with somebody.
I sent them to Penn Island.
What's Penn Island?
Oh, I don't want to know.
Just think about it.
A similar thing?
Penn Island.
Penisland.
Oh, I thought you were talking about Jeff Epstein's island.
You made me explain the joke.
By the way, you might want to wipe yourself from his call logs.
No, no, he's on the flight logs.
He's on the flight manifests.
Sticking with entertainment, Leonardo DiCaprio, when asked about his favorite Mexican food, he responded that he is a, quote, a pupusa man.
The problem is that pupusas come from El Salvador.
Whoops.
So put that under affected elitist jackass DiCaprio that was so embarrassed by the blunder that he just had sex with a bunch of models.
So that's how he made up for it.
He's a great actor.
He gets a pass.
He's good.
Nah, he doesn't get a pass.
He's a great actor, of course.
Why not?
No.
Pupusas.
Pretty sure there's an underground sex ring and he's a part of it.
We've all made that mistake.
In England, the UK government, this was my favorite story of the week.
I'll explain why afterwards.
They introduced knife-free boxes.
A fried chicken aimed to reduce violent crime.
It's come from more than 321,000 boxes have been distributed to 210 restaurants in England with stories of people who have chosen, so on the box, to pursue positive activities instead of carrying a knife.
Of course there's been outrage on all sides with, you'll pry this from my cold dead fingers, response coming from this Rambo chicken.
He was not, none too happy.
What's so funny, this is a true story.
I was peeing myself laughing.
Because we've often said, like, what's next?
Knife control?
Don't be absurd.
And what made me laugh so hard was after I read this, I said, that's so absurd.
And then I saw the outrage on Twitter.
The outrage was of a man from the UK who saw it as racist.
Because he said, why are they seeking out?
You can go follow us on Twitter.
We wrote about it on the website.
No.
He was saying, why would you seek out fried chicken?
This is racial.
This is profiling discrimination.
So you are no longer allowed to have butter knives with your fried chicken.
And you have basically relinquished all freedoms.
Speech is long gone.
Firearm is long gone.
Now knives are on the docket.
And you're mad because you think it's a race thing.
Europe has fallen.
Good job, guys.
No one asked the most important question here.
Who's using a knife for fried chicken?
No, no, no.
The boxes don't have knives.
What it's talking about is stories that encourage people not to carry knives.
No, it's both.
That's stupid.
No, it's not.
It is both.
I read the frickin' article.
No, you didn't.
I did the research.
You were probably high!
Have you done the research?
You've been on Vicodin for a week and a half!
Don't make me stand on this chair!
Aggressive.
No, it's both!
What I love, though, is in the stories they were saying, yeah, people have chosen to pursue boxing and music instead of carrying knives.
How does that relate at all?
It's insane.
I don't even know boxing and music.
I don't know how boxing is on music where you can't sing Kung Fu Fighting unless you're Asian because you can go to prison.
You can still do those things while carrying a knife!
By the way, I am never without a knife.
These are stories from people who have decided to make more positive life decisions.
What could be more positive than being prepared?
Exactly.
They're saying don't be prepared at all.
That's another question.
What's in your everyday carry?
This is something that's pretty common.
For me, a knife is always in there.
Usually a Swiss Army knife, but people will say, like, well, we're not talking about Swiss Army knives here in the UK.
Well, hold on a second.
We didn't think you were going to get to knife control at all.
We said it as a joke.
Why would we trust you?
Everyone said it'll never happen.
They'll never want to take away all the knives.
Now we're supposed to believe that you stop with locking blades?
Ugh.
This is terrible.
I hate the UK.
The UK has fallen, too.
You can keep it.
That's why we left.
Finally, speaking of the UK, a British Member of Parliament called for an all-female emergency cabinet.
This comes from the BBC.
Caroline Lucas asked females from all parties to join her in stopping a no-deal Brexit, claiming that, quote, women tend to be less tribal.
Except when their cycles sink up, am I right?
Ouch.
Oh, no.
I've been reading Barstool Sports.
Yes.
Yes.
Very informative.
Too much.
Clearly.
There's a little permeation.
A little bit.
And actually, I believe the newly formed Shadow Cabinet is holding a press conference.
Oh.
As we speak.
speak.
By the way, I would much rather be in a fight with a man than a woman.
Yes!
They just try to maim each other.
Well, and you can't do anything in return.
Like, if you win, you lose.
No, I'm not talking about as a man, even as a woman.
Gerald's like, every time!
I never just, I can't!
Even if you win, you totally, you can't!
You just gotta take it!
You totally misread my statement there.
Sorry about that.
And revealed yourself to be a lady beater.
No!
I'm saying you can!
At least with a fight between two guys, you're gonna walk away.
Maybe you have a few bruises.
You know, maybe you have a broken femur if the guy's a Muay Thai fighter.
I have no idea.
But with women, you've basically been scalped.
Your weave is somewhere on the court.
How'd you let her close enough to scalp you, you pansy?
Come on!
Have you ever watched a female fight?
He's not understanding here!
I'm talking about hypothetical women versus women, and he's like, because in his world, he beats women.
He thinks it's okay.
No.
So last week's trivia winner was Rob.
You're just on the defense of this whole episode.
No!
Because he's on drugs.
No!
He's on drugs.
That's what a person on drugs would say.
I can see the twinkle in your eye from here.
No!
Wow.
He severely hurt his back and so he's been on, uh, was it Norco?
A little bit.
A lot of it.
This is not a joke.
Bit of a cocktail.
He reminds me of that lady who screams right after the, uh, you know, the inauguration and, you know, starts to clap with the glasses.
Yeah, it's true, bro.
Sorry.
This is your Colorado lawyer.
This is my lawyer.
Yeah, it's true, bruh.
Exactly, man.
It was.
Not guilty, bruh.
Yeah.
I've tried to say this in the video.
I have dead homes.
Oh, no, no, no.
Homes, that's...
Gosh, you really want to lose in front of a court.
Wow, wow.
That's...
Last week's trivia winner, by the way, was Rob Pierce.
Rob Pierce.
Rob Pierce.
Rob underscore zero Pierce, who correctly identified which celebrity appeared naked in a hot tub with this photo.
So, good for him.
He won.
Let's talk about this really quickly before we move on to Chris Cuomo.
Right now there's a recession panic.
This has been trending all week.
Have you guys been following this?
Yeah, it's about time in the news cycle for that to happen again.
Right.
And I don't even really want to get into it because we might do this on Monday where we get into the numbers a little bit more, do a deep dive as they call it.
Now that's the trend we've been calling the meat segments for a very long time.
But we'll do it Monday if the news cycle stays on it.
I think that it's been a very slow news week and so like, you know what, let's just predict another recession.
Well, going down 800 points is a big deal, but whatever.
Yeah, it's a big deal, but, you know, they've been predicting a recession.
Remember when they claimed that the market would crash?
They claimed as soon as Donald Trump became president, they claimed that it would crash.
And then remember they were going, oh, he thinks 4% growth.
Well?
What do we do now?
And this is all based on the inverted yield curve, by the way, for people who don't know.
And really all that means is that three months effectively a loan to the government, we're
using the term loan, people are going to talk about bonds versus bills and notes, is worth
more than a long-term one.
It's not an accurate predictor.
This is something, if you just need to know one thing, it's only happened about nine times, so it's a tiny sample size.
In many of those times it was a false alarm.
Other times the recession occurred 30 months later.
So did one cause the other.
And by the way, if these people could accurately predict when a recession was coming, they would be wealthy beyond all recognition because they could place that bet in the marketplace and it would be reflected on their balance sheets.
They never do!
No, and since Trump was sworn into office to today, even including those big dumps, it's like up 28%.
We're still up a lot.
We're just giving back some of the gains.
And you know what you'll never hear about is the guys who actually did put their money where their mouth is, actually did predict and then short the market, and then lost their shirts, and are now hiding in Saskatchewan.
I mean, that's just... Yeah, they lost billions of dollars.
You're never going to hear about those guys when they were wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong, wrong.
It was Epstein.
Well, how do you... The whole point, right, is they're supposed to be able to help you with their predictions.
That's really the reason for their job, these speculators.
But if we go, oh, hold on a second.
You're predicting a recession.
Yeah, there's a 20% chance, 30% chance there isn't one at all, and then it could be anywhere from...
Eight months to 30 plus?
What?
How do you plan for that?
Who would ever place that bet?
That's a small margin.
No.
And this is also something I think pretty important.
While the left tries to act like they're the party of you, you know, Bernie Sanders, and we hate Wall Street.
Remember, the Tea Party was a rant from Santelli who was talking about this from the trading room floor about bailing out banks and how we were against it.
And then Occupy Wall Street tried to ride in on these coattails, okay?
This tells you right now, they look at unemployment, record low.
Right?
They look at job participation, record high.
They look at unfilled jobs right now because there's a job surplus.
They ignore that and say, hold on a second, what are the speculators on Wall Street saying?
That's all that matters.
What they use as a litmus test for the economy is not how well most Americans are doing, but what are the predictions?
What is the markets?
What's Wall Street telling them?
And then they try and say that they're one of you.
So just remember that one.
So when they're living up on Wall Street, they're shutting Detroit down.
That song, and they play it at their stupid little rallies when Bernie shows up in Detroit.
Showing up in his crazy clown car for all I know.
Listen, they don't care.
They couldn't care less about it.
And by the way, they should shut both of those things down.
Don't bail out anyone on Wall Street.
Don't bail out GM.
How about that?
There you go.
Yeah, I'm absolutely with you.
And by the way, I don't know why we have this expectation that there's never going to be difficulty in the market.
One, it's an international market.
Things that happen overseas can affect our market.
There's nothing that we can do about it.
And two, you've been dealing with a country, China, who's been floating or not floating their currency they've
been manipulating it for years and it's been killing us and now they're pissed off
that we're going after them. There's going to be some bloodshed on this. Yeah. Just deal with it.
They're going to be better off long term.
Yes. Anyway. That being said Donald Trump was trying to take credit for the economy. I think
that there are. Yeah. It's pretty pretty tangible right.
You can look at a correlation where you go, okay, and I can say this as a business owner.
Hold on.
Businesses have more money because of the tax cuts.
We hire more people.
We're doing that.
You can still apply right now.
Lotofpedder.com.
We still have the golden ticket sweepstakes.
There's a pretty concrete causation there as opposed to correlation.
That's simple to follow, but then when you get into the Federal Reserve and you get into interest rates, predicting these things in the international markets, it's very unpredictable, it's very difficult, and so when people go out there and they try and blame it, or give all credit to one person, listen, I think Donald Trump is playing a dangerous game too, because if you take credit, then you have to take the blame.
Yeah, exactly.
But hopefully we see a little small dip, and then next year in the election cycle, pick up tick, he wins.
Right at the right moment.
Exactly.
That'd be great.
If he was brilliant in playing chess, you know, on ten levels, then fine.
I think there has to be a reality that when it comes to the desperation of the other side in the coming election, there will be a lot of things that will be done to try and destabilize the positive signs that have happened to the economy.
Because there really is no downside, right?
If you're desperate to win an election, you're desperate to kind of countervail the positivity, and specifically the economic positivity of Trump, you're going to do some crazy things.
And a lot of commentators out there And talking heads who actually have been in the places that matter in government related to this are saying wait till later in this fall, wait till early in the spring, and that's when you really start to see the games coming out.
By the way, Bill Maher said that he hoped we had a recession.
I don't know if people know that.
He said, oh, it'll be hard for some people, but it'll be better overall for the country.
Yeah, he does hate America.
I didn't want us to have a recession when Barack Obama was president.
And beyond politics, I don't want us to have any kind of recession.
I don't want to see people lose their jobs.
And that being said, I know people say, well, is that hypocritical because you said we shouldn't
bail out GM?
No, I don't want to people lose their jobs, honestly.
Put it that way.
Honestly.
If you're working for a company, you're costing the company $132,000 plus per year in salary and bennies and dental and LASIK eye surgery, and the company says, oh, you know what?
No one wants to buy our crappy cars.
You don't deserve that job.
Sorry.
That's how it works.
That being said, I don't want to see a recession.
OK.
All right.
Let's talk about something that's more cheery.
We'll get into it Monday.
I predict that by Monday, people are going to move on to something else.
Because when it's a slow news week, they go, recession!
Just like when Donald Trump was becoming president.
Oh, we're gonna see a crash.
If we end the week good, we'll be fine.
Yeah, if we end the week well.
Well, dang it.
English language.
I'm not even from this country.
So for people who, obviously you've been following this, but we didn't have time to get into this because Epstein happened earlier in the week.
Chris Cuomo was recently approached at a restaurant.
The Fredo thing.
Let me refresh your memory.
Punk-ass b****es from the right call me Fredo.
They use it as an Italian aspersion.
Any of you Italian?
Are you Italian?
It's a f***ing insult to your people.
Don't you love how he turns up the Goomba?
It's an insult to your people!
Hey!
Forget about it!
Mama's a pizza pie!
La fangul!
I didn't insult you.
It's like I call you punk b****.
You like that?
Listen, I have a problem with you, man.
You're gonna have a f***ing problem.
What?
What are you gonna do about it?
I'll f***ing throw you down these stairs like a f***ing punk.
That's the moment where he was really trying to perpetuate the negative Italian stereotype and went too far and you can see him look at the camera like, I'm gonna throw you down the stairs and aw crap I'm just one step shy of saying I'm gonna crowbar your kneecaps.
And he's sitting there just like... Gosh, what a punk.
Yeah, well, as he says, punk b***h. There you go.
That's funny when you ask that rhetorical question.
Like, why would you do that when you're trying to fight somebody?
Like, I'm a believer in just either fights, if you're going to fight... Or don't.
Strike or don't.
But don't ask rhetorical questions.
What if I called you punk b***h, huh?
How do you feel?
Just punch him.
Like, what do you mean?
Like, that's the worst thing.
Even if it's, just say punk bitch and boom!
You know, throw one.
Throw your overhand.
I don't care.
Throw a Russian casting punch, bro.
But you're asking, are you expecting an actual answer?
How about I throw you down the flight of stairs?
Answer me!
I wouldn't like that.
I'm not, yes or no.
Do I object?
Please don't.
But by the way, did you see when the guy stepped in between him, he really turned it up a little bit?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm gonna wreck your s**t!
You know, it's like, alright, make sure you stand in between us, alright?
So I don't actually have to do anything.
Hold me back, man.
Hold me back.
Hold me back.
I love it when people jump.
I think the guy who called him Fredo, if he was in fact, and we're hearing reports that maybe he wasn't with his wife and kid.
Listen, I think there's a ceasefire when you're out in public and you shouldn't be berating somebody.
I think the guy who did it was a dick and trying to set him up.
That being said, he of course, Chris Cuomo, should be able to allow cooler heads to prevail.
So that's why it's time for this month's installment of what a piece of s***
So today top five reasons half-asian bill half-asian lawyer bill richman's monitor is broken, so he's leaning
Oh no. Yeah.
We were supposed to do five but we actually had seven and then we just rounded it down to six.
I don't know why.
Number six.
We have videographic evidence for all of this.
Chris Cuomo said that Nathan Phillips, remember the Meth Quest guy?
He actually said on air that Nathan Phillips wanted to diffuse the situation by banging the drum in the Covington kid's face, and the kid made the wrong decision by standing and smiling.
So this is how he frames it.
And he wants you to think that, my God, he's an actual journalist.
Nathan Phillips apparently wanted to diffuse the tension and he walked up to exactly that and surely the kid, Nick Sandman, he doesn't seem to be afraid, but he did make a choice and that was to make it into a standoff.
That was not a good choice.
What?
Was it legal?
Sure.
That's not my test.
And it shouldn't be THE test.
That kid's so great for his s**t, I know!
Is it legal?
Sure.
But that's not my test.
But you know me, I don't have to tell you twice.
He stood there.
No, you know what, you need to tell us many times.
What is your test, Chris Cuomo?
Well, if you need to ask, you're not yet ready to hear.
What?
What are you, some fake Goomba, Mr. Miyagi, you piece of shit?
Wax on.
By the way, it's not only legal, he was in the right.
The guy effectively assaulted him.
And this is what's so important to me, is Chris Cuomo really does, if you see him on Twitter, he claims to be a journalist.
He doesn't, he acts as though there is no kind of bias.
This is what's insane to me.
I don't have a problem if you're right or if you're left.
Just don't lie to me.
Admit it.
Own it.
All right.
Let's go to reason number five.
I think we have a video of this one where he claimed that America first and the term nationalist, these terms are actually phrases equivalent to, not they're bad, not they might be dog whistles, concentration camps.
One point of pushback before I get to you, Angela, you did not have similar problems with the phrase America first, which is equally stained.
Or the word nationalist, which is equally stained.
No, yes, as a matter of fact, I totally disagree that it's a stained word.
As a matter of fact, you may, but you're wrong.
American nationalism, well, no, I'm not wrong.
You don't get to define what nationalism means for me.
I do.
I love it.
Wow.
CNN must watch us succeed.
Their credibility hangs in the balance from an anchor who can be fooled by basic opposite day reverse psychology.
No, no, no!
No, yes!
Yes!
No, yes!
I'm gonna go with yes!
Dead gummit.
Wabbit season.
What a piece of s***!
Not only does he say that it's equivalent to concentration camps, when a guy responds perfectly reasonably, he's like, no, not at all!
Yes, at all!
Yes!
I mean, I'm fairly certain basic argument would tell you that Chris, American Heritage Dictionary, Oxford, Webster's, doesn't get to define the words, but if that's all he's got, I mean... No, he does!
No, he does!
He does get to define them!
He defines them for you.
I'm gonna go with does.
He does.
What is it with him and AOC and concentration camps?
Like, how is nobody raking them over the coals for that stuff?
You get a pass!
You get a pass!
I just wonder what Zucker is saying there when he's sitting in his office in his leather recliner.
He's like, Son of a gun!
Again, again, why?
Chris, how will I take over the human planet if it weren't for the lonely express with your father?
Alright, reason number four.
You know, I should set this up, I just think we'll let the clip do the talking.
He actually thinks that, remember how Donald Trump got all kinds of flack for saying, you know, I'm not talking about the white supremacists or the white nationalists, they should absolutely be condemned, totally, but then he talked about the people who are the president and the people on both sides?
Yeah.
Actually, if you watch more of the context, and we can't provide you with all the context because we don't have that much time, uh, let's just show the clip.
Chris Cuomo, I mean, he thinks Antifa is right.
Talk about Antifa?
I've watched them in the streets protesting in different situations, okay?
There are certainly aspects of them that are true to a cause.
That is a good cause.
They want social justice, they want whatever they want in that context.
What context?
They want whatever they want in that context.
Well, what context?
Social justice.
Well, what does that even mean?
Yes!
Antifa!
Yes!
No!
Changed at the end of a bat.
By the way, did you see he also tweeted out a meme suggesting that D-Day soldiers and Antifa were one and the same.
Wow.
Let's not forget.
Oh my gosh.
That's not cool, bro.
Let's not forget, okay?
If you forget, it's an insult to your f***ing people.
I'll wreck you.
I will wreck you if you forget.
I don't think that's an insult to my people at all.
No, it's not.
No, yes!
Yes, it is!
Yes, it is an insult!
Don't try to confuse me.
Thought you were gonna pass one.
Thought you were gonna pull the wool over the eyes of old Chris Cuomo, huh?
Some nice stairs you got there.
You'd be ashamed of somewhere to fall down them.
What is it?
The stairs?
I mean, I don't know.
There's not even stairs behind me, sir.
What are you talking about?
Was he in a tent?
He was in a tent?
Yeah!
I didn't know tents had stairs!
You would have to build stairs to then break.
Who are you?
Wreck-it Ralph?
Give me a minute and I will throw you down these self-made stairs.
By the way, while we're mocking other people who claim to be journalists, I'm not one!

Here's another example.
Cuomo, actually.
We don't have the clip.
It's a clip and then his Twitter.
He mocks effectively a rape victim who had a gun to defend herself and her children.
She cut an ad for the NRA.
Here you go.
I knew I was going to die and there was nothing I could do.
Now I'm a mother of two.
And if that predator, or anyone else, tries to harm me or my family, they have to come through my firearm first.
And then Chris Cuomo responded with, uh, Only in America, responding to that video.
Yes!
Yes.
Isn't that a good thing?
Thank God.
Correct.
As opposed to the UK, what, she should be throwing chicken strips because she can't even have a butter knife?
Exactly.
She got raped.
She can defend herself now.
Why is this a bad thing?
When we talk about social justice, you talk about equality, I used to talk about it in the Antifa clip, you know, they punch random pastors by at will in the face.
How about equality for women being able to protect themselves?
The only thing that can allow a woman to be stronger than a man is a gun.
But none of this is based on, nothing Cuomo says is ever based on verifiable evidence or truth.
From Russia to the idea that women shouldn't be able to have a gun.
And this isn't one of those tropes that you're actually worse off just for having a gun in the house.
No, you're not.
No, that is not true at all.
It is immediately debunked by simply looking at the defensive uses of firearms in the country every year.
It's that simple.
Yeah.
Alright, any thoughts on this?
No, it sucks.
I'm just mad.
Let's move to reason number two.
This was one that's pretty, I mean, this is particularly s*** for even in the realm of piece of s*** segments.
At least Chris Cuomo, he's got the, you know, he's got, he's not as, he's not as offensively unattractive as Brian Stelter.
Yeah, that's true, that's true.
Like, I get the Chris Cuomo, the nepotism thing, but Brian Stelter, I, I mean, can someone explain it to me in the comment section?
I'm also still not convinced that he's straight.
So anyway, Cuomo did say, this was something else, he said that the offering thoughts and prayers was the equivalent to mocking mass shooting victims.
And then it gets even, if you think, ooh, that's pretty rough for a journalist, it gets even worse.
Here you go.
The only consensus there is, is in a canard, and here it is.
First, I would like to offer my thoughts and prayers.
Because that's what you do when you offer thoughts and prayers.
Seriously?
You mock those who lost loved ones.
What would it take?
How about a stadium full of children of the most influential people in our society all holding puppies?
What if they were all shot and killed?
Would we act?
Oh, don't be ridiculous to suggest something like that.
Is it?
Is it ridiculous?
Oh my gosh.
No!
No, wait, yes!
Yes, it is ridiculous!
Yes, it is.
Wait!
Sorry, Cuomo.
You made it too easy for me.
How in the world does he get away with mocking Christians praying for people?
It's equivalent to mocking for thoughts and prayers.
As opposed to what you're going to do, Chris Cuomo?
What are you going to do?
What are you going to do?
Well, I'll support Uh, the assault weapon ban.
Oh, so you'll send your thoughts to your representatives to support a piece of legislation that makes a gun like this illegal and legal.
Legal, illegal.
Legal, illegal.
Everything else is the same.
So in other words, someone's prayers to the higher power that most people on planet Earth believe in is more silly than you Hoping, wishing, and loving, and hoping, and being a piece of s*** in your mind, hoping that someone signs a bill that won't be effective at all.
And by the way, when he talks about people in a stadium with puppies and we shot, I don't want to talk about a non sequitur, but this is not in the mind of a crazy piece of s***.
But he says, imagine the most influential people in the world.
Yeah.
Well, hold on, that's not, I mean, that's not the crux of this story here, this hypothetical.
It's shooting the puppies.
I don't care if Podesta's holding them.
I don't get it.
Podesta's kids.
I don't understand.
The kids of the most influential people.
None of what he said there makes any sense at all.
It doesn't.
Not at all.
Even if you don't believe in a higher power, somebody praying is about the most that somebody that's removed by a thousand miles can do.
Yeah.
Right?
You should just be like, OK, well, good.
He wants sweeping gun legislation.
No, he wants to get all guns.
He wants to take away your Second Amendment rights.
Right.
And if you go and watch it, you can see him actually talking about it.
And this is what's so dangerous.
You can see him talking about the Australian buyback.
I mean, that doesn't fill his audience in on the fact that it's mandatory.
That is an outright gun ban.
And the real danger here is I don't have a problem with Rachel Maddow, because people know where she lines up.
Some people, namely when we're talking about CNN, people in airports who've apparently had their eyes duct taped open, because that's the viewership we're talking about here, they don't necessarily know that Cuomo is biased.
So this guy goes out there and claims to be an actual journalist, and everything that we've just heard Yeah.
is a narrative that he's allowed to frame.
He goes out there and he decides what information, or at least at one point, right?
And that's why these people, CNN, NBC, Universal, Viacom, all these companies want to make sure
the show like this doesn't exist because at one point in time, all you had was Chris Cuomo.
You think Walter Cronkite was any better?
He was better at disguising it a little bit, but that's what he's doing here.
And case in point, he wants to determine how you view the news.
And not only how you view it, but ultimately what kind of speech is permissible.
Which brings me to, we don't have a video clip, but I think this is the worst thing that Cuomo's ever done.
And again, this goes to him trying to manipulate and control news.
And I'm not talking about some government form of my control.
I got heart!
I got blood pumping through my heart!
I'm a human!
I'm just saying this as a form.
of propaganda.
Oh Alex Jones.
By the way, an exclusive Alex Jones interview available at Mug Club.
It's like a whole hour.
It's great.
Um, because he wanted to reframe language here in saying that 12 year old girls who
don't want to see penises in the locker room are bigots.
Here you go, look at that.
I wonder if she has a problem of her overprotective and intolerant dad.
Teach tolerance.
So there you go, because this is Chris Cuomo, right, and his job, he thinks that, he thinks it's his job to make sure that you know, if you don't follow his brand of tolerance, that you shouldn't have a seat at the table of Western civilization.
That your daughter is intolerant because she doesn't want to see someone's pecker right at face level with her permeable contacts.
No, don't take the- she's not about the magnetic lock- It takes 800 pounds of pressure to open, Omar.
Let's just, let's go.
We have Razor Fist coming up.
I don't want to hear her anymore.
Open your mind.
I'm gonna get it on my face.
Ugh.
So bad.
Open your mind.
Let us begin our quest to find a new sound.
To see this clip and more behind the scene action, check out our new YouTube channel, Crowder Bits.
I think you meant to say behind the scenes, but because you're Asian, you have problems with plurals.
Of course, don't forget Mug Club for those who haven't yet joined.
That's what allows us to keep half-Asian lawyer Bill Richmond on retainer.
I'm expensive.
People have a right to think he actually committed suicide.
People have a right to think that he was murdered.
But the evidence points towards murder.
We know that all the default protections were turned off.
That people heard screaming and yelling and shouting, breathe, breathe, Epstein.
And then he told friends, they're trying to kill me.
Over the telephone, they're trying to kill me.
You got to get me out of here.
I'm not going to commit suicide.
I didn't try to commit suicide.
It's like a string on a sweater.
You pull that string out on that sweater and the whole thing can unravel.
You rightfully explained that most people get recruited by evil because it's a hot secretary, and that's actually how most satanists recruit people, and that's how it begins.
But the way it's been described to me is it's circles of corruption.
They have all the information.
They know where the bodies are buried.
They had underground dungeons, underground passages.
Are you saying you think that Epstein would have been involved with, like, actual human sacrifices at satanic rituals?
Absolutely.
Ahem.
What a complete disaster.
Excuse me, did you just blow in from dressed like a spazville?
How do you walk around looking like that?
Ah yes, there you go.
Now you're ready to fight the man in style.
Louder with Crowder merch.

You know thing in the wake of and we'll be discussing the recent shootings with our next guest this is a stick-up
song might be inappropriate So, that's it.
Some could say.
When I think about it.
Maybe it was a bad choice.
Yeah.
I'm not too affected by it.
Honestly, I feel like I should feel more distraught than I am.
I often feel that way.
I don't know if that makes me a sociopath.
Our next guest, I'm very excited to have him back on.
It's been a while.
I think he has a little bit of a cold because I just was talking to him during the break here, but you know him on the Twitter.
You follow him at RayZorFist with an O. With a zero.
Zero.
See, it's funny, I say O for the number zero.
If I'm doing a number, in my head I was thinking the number.
This is off to a bad start.
The Rageaholic is a YouTube channel, and he actually has a new website, or at least since we last had him on.
It's the-rageaholic.tumblr.com, which, of course, he's just married to horrible names that are unsearchable, I guess.
Mr. Fist, how are you, sir?
I'm fantastic, as long as you don't start using the word Zed there.
Did I tell you that I got kicked out of class in Canada for saying that it was Z?
Really?
Yep.
I remember.
And actually, she became the principal later on of my grade school, so lucky for me.
She was my teacher originally, and she said, it's Zed.
I said, no, it's Zee.
Mrs. Mesher was her name.
I said, no, it's Zed.
It's Zee.
She goes, it's Zed.
I said, OK.
And I walked her through the entire ABCs.
I said, Mrs. Mesher, let's go through this.
A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, and Zed.
Is that the most retarded thing you've ever heard?
And then, of course, you apologized, and they let you be Canadian again.
Yes, pretty much.
No, I did not apologize.
I was also kicked out of my class with Mrs. Lake for stating that there were 50 states.
She claimed there were 52.
People who watch this don't know this.
She said, uh-uh-uh.
She said, don't forget, Hawaii and Alaska.
And I responded, I swear to you, word for word, uh-uh-uh.
Including them, there's 50 states.
And she kicked me out.
She took Obama geography.
Yes, pretty much.
Yeah.
She just got it wrong, too, because she didn't round up to 57, I think was his quote.
So, Mr. Fist, thank you for being here.
So, I wanted to talk with you.
I know last week you kind of ended up being in Shuffle and Representative Dan Crenshaw was on, but obviously I wanted to have you on because in the wake of the shootings, and we'll get to Epstein because I'm sure you have some good material there, I was disappointed to see those on the right, including people in the Trump administration, try to blame it on violent video games.
It felt like we were going back to the era of Tipper Gore.
What were your thoughts on this?
Yeah, well, it's kind of like clockwork at this point.
You've always got... Every single time one of these happens, it's time to play the vidya blame game.
You know, you had the Jack Thompsons back in the day, and then the villagers with pitchforks and torches ran him out of town.
But, like I said earlier this week, what does it say about our society that Our default position after any given tragedy is to blame either semi-automatics or Super Mario.
It's one of those two things.
There's no middle ground, and now we're pairing the two.
You understand?
Like, if video games made your child a murderer, or made you indeed a child murderer, then, you know, what does that make an arcade?
Does that make it Planned Parenthood?
And if video games created gun crime, then why are they at their lowest level in, what, 40, 50 years?
Yeah, but the news made me feel... Video games are selling more than ever.
Yeah, but the news made me feel really upset about the recent shooting, so I think we should disregard the statistics and blame the wildly offensive Italian stereotypes as it relates to Italian plumbers.
Yeah.
Right!
The Fredos, if you will.
Yes!
I wonder if Chris Cuomo would have been just as mad if you called him Mario.
I probably would have.
It would have been great.
That's like the n-word to us, buddy.
I'm not entirely sure.
I'll throw you right down these stairs.
You'd prefer Luigi's Mansion?
Alright, that's... Right up, right up.
By the way, like, anyone else pick it up on the fact that like...
Democrats are a little hazy on whether or not Italians are actually minorities.
You know what I mean?
Right.
Like, when Rudolph Giuliani's standing on a stage with 12 other dudes, you know, he's the whitest guy ever.
Right.
But, you know, Chris Cuomo, who looks whiter than a porn star's ass, he said, oh, you know, he's Joe Pesci in Goodfellas.
Yes, pretty much.
And even then, I'm not sure if he's a minority.
I don't know exactly who or what constitutes a minority.
I have to go by who's champion in boxing.
So if there are no Italian champions in boxing anymore, they can't be that much of an underdog.
It's the secret.
Right?
It's the secret.
No, exactly.
No, historically that's true.
We had obviously Italians, we had the Irish, and actually combat sports are a great indicator of people because it's kind of an individual sport that doesn't cost a lot of money.
And then, you know, the blacks found it, so we lost that one.
Took it over.
You're welcome.
But to return to the issue... Yes, video games, yes, yes.
I'm like, wait a minute.
No, like, gun control... The problem, of course, is invariably that the solution either way is control.
Right.
Right?
Because we're talking about this issue, and it's not coincidental that, you know, your frontrunner, heaven help us all, is Joe Biden, and he... 2013 or so, he had video game violence panels.
Right.
He was going to regulate video games, and then The angry mob shouted him down.
I mean, at the end of the day, if gun control was a solution, shouldn't Los Angeles be like a Star Trek space commie utopia by now?
Yeah.
Like, last I checked, Los Angeles is the only city where a particle warning comes in .45 caliber.
California leads the country in mass shootings, never mind gun crime, and guns are the only thing they hate more than the middle class.
Yes, but if you saw Predator 2, we have that to look forward to.
Why do you think everyone's leaving the state?
I was just out yesterday driving around and I literally played the Count the California License plate game.
California's state bird is a swarm of locusts.
They moved to all the neighboring states and immediately set about ruining it.
They absolutely ruin it.
My question though, I guess too, were you particularly disappointed that you saw it coming, that we saw it coming from this administration?
I mean, I thought that we were somewhat past this because the left had become, they'd had the monopoly on the pearl clutching and blaming video games, but it seems like now since they're trying to shift away from firearms, although they are caving a little bit on some gun control measures, I was just surprised to see them go to video games.
I thought we'd put this to bed.
Well, no, it doesn't surprise me.
Trump's been wrong on this issue for years.
You know what I mean?
Between Biden's video game censorship panels in 2013, you know, Trump's retarded tangent this past week, it's time to accept it.
Blaming Super Metroid for mass shootings, it's not a Republican thing.
It's not a Democrat thing.
It's a boomer thing.
Oh yeah.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
It's a baby boomer thing.
And if Social Security, ska music, and The View have taught us anything, it's that boomers were a mistake.
I don't know that you can lay Ska at their feet.
I feel like that was something a little bit more... We're talking the original Ska.
We're talking OG.
Yeah, also I'd toss Bruce Springsteen in there.
For me, he just ruins Christmas.
Every time I hear that guy, he's not a stylist.
He just has no talent.
Have you?
And this is Scrubs, by the way.
While we've been talking about YouTube censorship, I remember my first show ever, I did this whole rant on Bruce Springsteen.
It was close to Christmas time when I was in Detroit or Ann Arbor, and I found an old interview of Bruce Springsteen, and it's kind of like Al Pacino, where he had Serpico, you know, you go back as original, and he was talking like this, but listen, what am I gonna do, officer?
No, he's...
Talkin' like this!
It was the same thing with Bruce Springsteen.
He sounded like a young Ralph Macchio.
And now all of these interviews are gone.
He was sitting there talking like this about, you know, the theory of music, and now he answers, I'm the boss!
And nothing about him is genuine.
Sorry, this had nothing to do with our interview.
No.
He's not a fan.
Well, he's the kind of guy who gets a tailored blue collar, you know what I mean?
Like, how many millions does this guy have?
He's still selling that I'm the boss thing?
Yes, exactly.
Are you freaking kidding me?
It was like John Edwards.
I'd say, who are you wearing?
And Versace would tell him, Fay JC Penney!
And he would sew it into the back of his suit.
All right, we'll move on to something else that, you know, we have less factual information.
Actually, we have a ton of factual information, but let's get a little conspiratorial.
Epstein, you think that Clinton's put a hit on him?
What do you think here?
A poll just came out, I think from Rasmussen, that the majority of people, or a plurality of Americans, don't think he killed himself.
Yeah, I mean, first off, before we move on to the conspiracy, you have to, at the end of the day, say, you know, You have to celebrate it, at the end of the day.
I mean, let's be real.
This is not a guy that we wanted to remain alive, even though we would have appreciated the information he could have proffered.
So, uh, you know, let's have a quick ding-dong, the diddler's dead.
But, I mean, at the end... Seriously, come on.
No, he is a pedophile.
He had a diddle island.
Yeah.
Right?
He did diddler warm-ups.
Like, he had a whole routine.
It was like a sun salutation on the wall.
Who knew Suicide Watch involved popcorn and hoagies?
That's the thing, really the extant question is, was he murdered, or did he just, and I think this is probably more likely, I mean, the guy's got 1.5 billion dollars.
C**** knows where it came from.
They still don't know.
But he's got 1.5 billion dollars.
Is it more likely that he paid off a guard and was like, hey, like, smuggle me a shiv or something?
Of course, he hanged himself or whatever, but, you know, smuggle me some bull rope, whatever.
It seems slightly more likely that might be the case.
Maybe, I think the intent matters, because I think the records of his recent conversations, if this is a guy who was really intent on blowing the lid off, on revealing who was behind this, on sort of burning the whole ship down, that's a guy who wouldn't kill himself in that cell if you handed him a shiv.
Now, if it's someone who really felt defeated and wanted to clock out, then yeah, that's more likely.
And that should be pretty easy to find, that info.
No, exactly.
The thing that alarmed me was, I don't know if you heard this yesterday, it just came out, Did you hear they're just now getting around to raiding Epstein's little pedopad there on Drilligan's Island?
Yeah, yeah, and they're taking away, like, computers or before-and-after pictures and videos.
Just now!
Like, way to strike while the iron is frozen, my dudes.
And by the way, if there's any more stalwart, upstanding organization with an unblemished record of being dispassionate and apolitical enough to investigate this asshole in the FBI, Right.
You know, let them speak now or forever hold their pee-pee dossier.
Pretty much.
I think when they get there, I think a few people, when they're getting there, you know, there's just a couple agents calling shotgun on who gets the secret DVDs.
Yeah, I was saying, like, I don't know about you, but I can't wait to hand over my guns to the same government responsible for guarding Jeffrey Epstein.
Yes, exactly.
Yeah.
No, I think, and by the way, a little known fact, though, the police response time on Pedophile Island?
8 minutes, 42 seconds.
I don't know how they did it!
I do not know how they did it.
There still are some stalwart among us.
Some white people.
Yes, exactly.
So you think it's more likely that he just offed himself and found a way to get a guard I think that's probably more likely, but you never know.
I do find massively suspicious the fact that his legal team, they were the ones who pushed really, really hard for him to get off of Suicide Watch, it turns out.
And now his lawyers have lawyered up.
Right.
That's a little alarming.
Yeah, exactly.
Their one phone call is to yell out to their partners.
Sid!
Yeah, I'm not gonna waste a quarter here.
I think you know what this is about.
Do you have the paper shredder?
You know what to do.
Exactly.
Wouldn't you know it?
Epstein and Cuomo are in the news again.
At the same time.
A different Cuomo, but you know.
What do you make of the Cuomo reaction?
Because I think, and then we do have to go after this, I think it's a dick move to obviously approach a guy when he's not on air and try and taunt him.
And I think Chris Cuomo should obviously have more control over his reactions.
And I do love how he turned on out of nowhere the Goomba Italian.
That is an insult to our people!
I don't understand the Fredo is an ethnic slur thing.
This I do not understand.
Then again, I have not seen The Godfather, but I don't understand how Fredo is an ethnic slur unless your first name is Al, I guess.
I don't know.
Did you throw that out just to piss off half the audience?
Did you just throw that out because you know the comment section is going to go nuts that you haven't seen The Godfather?
I can already hear him.
I know!
I do not care for the Godfather.
I did not care for the Godfather.
I did not care for the Godfather either.
I'm with you.
I think Chinatown was a better film, even though... You know, then we're back to rape with Polanski!
True.
It's like you just can't step over... You can't step over a rapist in Hollywood without stepping on another rapist!
Oh, I think we lost Razor.
I think we lost Mr. Fist.
I don't know what happened.
Did he unplug his, uh... Hear me?
Oh, now we can hear you.
Now it's a little too loud.
Alright, closing thoughts, because we lost time here and it's my fault.
No, I was just saying, there is absolutely no way in nine nebulous hells that Roman Polanski never stepped foot on that island.
At least once.
There's no way!
Come on, they're giving him standing ovations at the Oscars and nobody can cut this guy a check for a plane ticket.
Come on.
Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised if the autopilot was just tapping him in.
Right, exactly.
Over there at Epstein.
All right, we do have to get going, and I appreciate making the time.
I know it sounds like you have a cold.
Maybe it could just be the cedar pollen.
I have no idea.
The Twitter is at RayZorZeroFist, and the website is a Tumblr there, the-RayJaholic.
Of course, the YouTube channel, RayJaholic.
Mr. Fist, thank you so much, sir.
We always love having you on, and be well.
I love being on.
Thanks for having me.
Oh hey.
I'm just here to tell you, frankly, that if you haven't joined Mug Club yet, I don't know what you're waiting for.
Okay?
It's the best club around, and that's not my opinion.
That's what they say.
Everyone says it's the best club.
That's what they tell me.
Not only do you get access, okay, frankly, to The whole Daily Show, which on YouTube, what you get is not daily.
Okay?
But you also get access to the whole Blaze catalog.
And if that's not enough reason for you, it's the perfect gift to piss Trudy off.
Okay?
Joy Buckler.
Big doosh.
And then finish.
And there you have it.
What's happening?
It's following, like, bright new signs that are coming.
Nice!
Nice!
Why did you fall back?
I got method acting, man.
Lie from above!
No!
No, he pulled my hair!
He stole this from me, my God, yeah!
Okay, so...
We were late in getting B-roll, but we just decided to use that because we had it in our database, so...
Okay, so- That made no sense.
That made no sense.
I'm sorry, I know I'm interrupting you, but- Live on weekday, 6 to 8 PM Eastern, don't miss out on The Young Turks.
Hey there, time for the one live read of the week.
Last week, we didn't even do one.
So, not only do we want to thank, of course, our wonderful sponsor, Walther, and all the other sponsors on the show, but mainly Walther, because they protect the studios.
Of course, for those of you who haven't yet joined, livewithcreditor.com slash Mug Club.
It's 99 annually.
I know I've talked about this before.
69 for veterans, students, active military.
You get this hand-etched mug.
You get the entire Blaze catalog, but you get a lot of content that you don't get here on YouTube.
Probably about 75% more content.
Like this week we had a life advice, we had a scrapyard show,
we have a full exclusive long form interview with Alex Jones, a web extended interview
with Razor Fist, Mr. Fist, all of that available where the YouTube lords don't lurk.
Lotofcutter.com slash Mug Club.
♪♪♪ ♪♪♪
Whew.
That's the gentleman who was worrying about his headphone cord,
when he should have been worrying about the riptide.
Oh, yeah.
So he's dead.
You gotta stay focused when you're out there.
These really aren't so much dances as they are pieces.
It's more like interpretive dance.
Effectively.
It's interpretive dance.
It's interpretive movement.
That's what my high school drama teacher told me about.
By the way, we have an exclusive web extended, of course, with Razor Fist at Mug Club, and we're going to be doing that mostly every week here, moving forward.
Wanted to thank Maximus, the PA who had to leave.
Yes.
We know that a lot of you have seen him on air and really enjoyed him, so we're going to miss him, but he might be back for some sketches every now and then.
Love that guy.
There's a lot to talk about.
I don't really know any good way to sort of approach this topic, but let's just dive right into it.
And hopefully, you know, I can offer some insight here that ends up being helpful to you.
But I understand that when I start discussing this topic, you're going to say, well, how does that help me?
This sounds pretty exclusive to you.
It sounds pretty niche, Steven.
And granted, unless you've actually gotten into a war of words with NBCUniversal Viacom yourself, In Vox, it may sound like it's out of left field, but stay with me here.
So there's been a rumor or news, I guess, circulating that Carlos Maza may have just been fired from Vox.
He may have just left.
I don't know.
And at the time of this taping, I don't think anybody here knows for sure.
Tim pulled out a video.
Let me tell you something that may surprise you.
up at the Blaze if you want to read more about it.
And I've received some requests to talk about it, what I think of it, and there have been
a few comments, people saying they're looking forward to the show, my thoughts, blah blah
blah blah blah blah.
Okay.
Let me tell you something that may surprise you.
I don't take much pleasure in it.
Initially, maybe.
I thought, okay, that's justice.
But if I did, I wouldn't even show it publicly because I'm just, I'm generally not a fan of the end zone dance.
Now, let me clarify.
Am I a fan of Carlos Maza?
Of course not.
But my war, my fight, our war here, this team has never been with him.
He was a tool used by the real culprit here, which is a giant multi-billion dollar media conglomerate, and more importantly, a complicit system that both allows and encourages.
Abuse.
And sure, Carlos Maza has been actively pushing to get this channel outright banned, and that's important.
Keep in mind, demonetization, which did happen, wasn't enough.
They wanted complete banning.
Nothing else would suffice.
And yeah, listen, that's a scary thing.
It was a scary couple of weeks for sure, and that's why it's more important than ever if you want this show to continue to join my club, because the channel could be lights out tomorrow, and, you know, we want to stay in touch with you.
Who is Carlos Maza, really, if not for the national platform of Vox?
Or of Media Matters, I think, before that.
Of all the national interviews, CNN, other cable news outlets, I don't know exactly where he appeared.
All of whom, by the way, they have a vested interest in truly independent channels like ours, being removed from social media.
Who is Carlos Maza really without that kind of support?
And by the way, they need someone like him because they need plausible deniability, right?
NBC, they don't want to be seen as a company whose complaints resulted in thousands of channels, independent channels, being demonetized.
That's bad PR!
And by the way, that happened, and not just to conservative channels.
So what did they do?
They found a willing participant in someone like Carlos Maza, who they could portray as a victim, and they could have do their bidding for them.
And to a degree, it was successful.
Yep, we were demonetized here.
But they weren't successful in their endgame, which was to continue a stranglehold on the market of information.
We're still here.
And when the public backlash became to be too much, they wanted to retreat.
That's what happened with Vox NBC.
And so for them, Carlos Maza had served his purpose.
Frankly, they used him.
And now it seems like they might be disposing of him.
And I think that's sad.
Listen, I do want to be clear.
I'll protect what's mine, my team, people here, and any person trying to rip it away, absolutely.
I will protect it tooth and nail.
But I'd never want to see a person destitute or devoid of prospects.
Let me paint this for you.
What would be the ideal scenario?
The ideal scenario would be for...
Any totalitarian social justice warrior, right?
To see moments like this as life lessons, and for them to maybe recalibrate and find joy and fulfillment in something other than trying to silence voices of dissent with whom they disagree.
And I think it's pretty clear that Carlos Maza hasn't been very happy, he said as much on Twitter, and I genuinely don't think it's possible to be a happy person when your life's focus is entirely about someone else and what bothers you about them.
So two important things here that I think apply to everyone, any of you out there listening.
Hopefully this helps.
You can learn from our saga.
This is all a life lesson in and of itself.
I've talked about it before.
One of the greatest things that you can do to live the happy, fulfilling life that you're looking for is stop focusing on what everyone around you is doing.
Stop focusing on what someone else is doing.
Start focusing on what you need to be doing.
Your abilities.
Your calling.
That's huge.
Number two.
Please, to anyone watching, listening right now, as news emerges, I just ask you kindly, don't end zone dance.
Whatever it is, don't send any mocking tweets to Carlos.
Don't rub it in.
When we're fighting NBC, I think it's NBC Viacom and Disney Universal.
Is it NBC Viacom?
Is it Vox and Disney Universal?
It's hard because they all just merge.
Where are the people who complain about corporations and monopolies when it happens here?
So it's NBC Universal or Disney Universal, NBC Viacom, NBC Vox, right?
Two billion dollar company.
When we're fighting NBC Vox, we're punching up.
And that's not only acceptable, but I believe in many cases morally imperative.
But when you knock an individual off the leaderboard, you don't keep pummeling them.
You've got to respect the tap.
And I'm not saying that anyone here has tapped out, but you just don't keep pounding somebody who you've knocked off the leaderboard.
There's no reason to do that for a few reasons.
For one, it's always prudent to give someone an out.
You don't want to back someone against a wall and create desperation where they sit like Count of Monte Cristo, laying low for 30 years, and then they become your count.
Edmund Duntess.
He pulled one over.
That's what... I bet you Chris Cuomo would be... He would follow that one.
He would have a problem with Edmund Duntess.
Is it Duntess?
Was it there?
AudioWade, you read books.
I don't know.
Never read Count of Money, Christo?
Here's every single obscure book.
It's like 1,200 pages.
Really?
Yeah.
So, let it be known that he can't read long books.
His cutoff is $1,199.
For him, it's got to be really worth it.
That's true.
Um, so yeah, you always want to give somebody an out at any point in life, anyone who's your adversary.
Once you win, you don't want to keep driving it in because nothing good can come of it.
More importantly, it's just the right thing to do.
For the same reason that we don't just host random people or any Twitter handle with an egg, you don't pile on and continue to pummel someone after the bell.
That's something a bully does.
And if we'd be doing that, we'd be turning into the very false accusation that was lobbed against us in the first place.
And by the way, it's not just about public perception of you being a bully, but this is as much about you and your own fulfillment in life, your quiet time.
You're not going to get anywhere in life by punching down.
You just become complacent.
So if you've entered the fray and you've decided that you're going to punch, you're going to be in the fight, you're going to be a puncher, punch up.
At the very least, your focus is on something bigger and greater than yourself.
So, yeah, listen, I want to be clear.
When we pass the Young Turks in viewership and subscribership, we're going to do a livestream party.
We're going to livestream that shit.
We'll make it a whole event.
But once it's done, we didn't get $20 million from foreign caliphates, so that'll be a big victory for us.
Once it's done, though, don't expect me to don the Cenk outfit anymore.
But do expect the network to change tact a little bit and start gunning for us a whole lot more once we pass them.
Guess what?
I don't care.
T-Y-T, basically, my name is the one that shan't be spoken, to change tact a little bit and start gunning for us
a whole lot more once we pass them.
Guess what?
I don't care.
And since we've started this show, we've said, you know what?
We don't know the ceiling.
We're aiming for Kimmel numbers, Fallon numbers.
This is a late night show.
We've talked about that.
The Colberts of the world.
If we're going to provide a late night alternative, we want it to be on par.
We're not there yet, not necessarily even close, but we have a target, and that's what we'll be aiming for.
So until that happens, until the behemoths, they've stopped trying to remove the smaller guys,
rather than compete.
And that is what's happening.
It's big guys trying to remove smaller guys because they don't want to compete in an honest playing field.
Until that happens, the war rages on.
Until the playing field is level, we're not stopping.
And you know what?
I think we've all accepted here that we'll never be getting favorable treatment from the tech giants.
Some could argue it's actually been quite unfavorable.
And so we're just going to have to make our case so strongly, the reach and influence and the quality so undeniable that we're heard.
There is no other way.
And until that happens, I think everyone here, I say this pretty confidently, we're marching forward.
And I'm truly grateful because I can't think of anyone else outside of my team here.
And by the way, you, with whom I'd rather storm the castle.
But listen, I know we're all passionate.
I know we all want to storm the castle.
I understand.
Do your due diligence, be prudent, but leave the bodies.
Don't hoist them up because everyone knows where they lay.
