	You tried to kip out of the thing?
	No, the carrier, he was about to kip out of it on a ledge, and I went... I was trying to get out of a plastic bag, but you get carried around in that shit.
	Listen, it can hold it.
	It's totally fine.
	What's going on?
	The YouTube stream has not started.
	The YouTube stream has not started.
	So where is this?
	Is this streaming anywhere?
	Probably...
	We're on plays?
	Oh, well, you know what?
	Look, folks, can we just restart it all?
	Yeah, we can do that.
	Let's restart it all.
	Let's do it again.
	Wow.
	Well, I wonder why.
	I- You
	You You
	Louder with Crowder is brought to you in part by dot-com You'll look better, but more importantly, you'll feel better.
	Unless you have COVID, then you'll probably die.
	DriverStock.com!
	You're a strange animal, that's what I know.
	You're a strange animal, I know the law.
	You're a strange animal, I know the law.
	That's delicious.
	That is sip number two.
	Hey, just so you know, the technical difficulties really quickly for people on YouTube.
	No conspiracy.
	No.
	Quarter Black Garrett is sick, home.
	He does not have the COVID.
	He's sabotaging it.
	So we have people here, of course, helping, filling in.
	We wish you the best, Quarter Black, with your quarter-singles sale when you come back in.
	Quarter-singles?
	That's so terrible.
	And expect him in a St.
	Jude's advertisement before your local movie showing soon.
	He has an adorable blanket.
	No, so no conspiracy there.
	We just have had some technical issues, but we have a lot to get to today.
	Donald Trump Jr.
	is on the show.
	Boom!
	Really excited about that.
	He's going to be commentating some fights this weekend between Evander Holyfield and Vitor Belfort, so place your bets on the roided-up athlete of your choice.
	And that's not just in case you want to come at me for defamation or slander.
	I don't know which one is written versus uttered.
	Vitor Belfort tested positive in the UFC several times, and Evander Holyfield was part of that steroid ring.
	But you know, they both seem like decent guys.
	Just, you know, mmm.
	All natural.
	And we are going to be talking about quite a bit here today.
	One thing that I really wanted to touch on.
	And I don't know if this is, you know, trending like Chris Pratt, who didn't do anything wrong, but everyone just looking for a scalp on a slow news day, is CNN has been talking about this all day, the ICU bed shortage, the nursing staff shortage, why everything that you, and I shouldn't speak in absolutes, but why absolutely everything you have been told is a lie, is wrong.
	A lot of people out there think COVID has happened, hospitals have been overrun, And that's why there are no beds in the ICUs?
	That's not true.
	And I will explain to you point by point why that is the case.
	We'll also be watching the new Matrix trailer.
	Yes!
	Because my team hates me.
	We have to do something like that.
	So before we get Dave, actually, Dave Landau, how are you?
	I'm good.
	Ahoy.
	Ahoy.
	You have an announcement to make.
	I do.
	But first, actually, just before the show, Gerald A. has an announcement to make of his own.
	Is that okay, Dave?
	Are we good?
	Yeah, go for it, man.
	So yeah, my wife and I are expecting kiddo number two.
	Hey!
	Really?
	I knew this!
	We're going to have another kiddo coming up.
	How far along are you?
	Very early on in the process.
	I think it's right around that 8-10 week range.
	I should know these things more precisely.
	That's early.
	You knew a couple weeks ago.
	Right around your last vacation.
	Exactly.
	If you could time it back, I think Branson.
	Yes, because Branson is a storybook romance.
	Who hasn't made a baby in Branson?
	We went on down to the Dolly Parton Rodeo, a subsidiary of Medieval Times.
	I get a little wet after watching Yakov Smirnoff.
	Yakov Smirnoff, acrobat extraordinaire, and then going on the non-gambling riverboat.
	Listen, there are tons of Crowder fans.
	You can gamble, just not with money.
	You can skip the chips.
	And then I saw the Ripley's Believe It or Not, which gets the crappy leftover like, oh, is that the Stuntman's Judge Dredd costume?
	Yeah, I didn't believe it.
	Congratulations.
	Hey guys, you can leave a comment.
	That's the best way to do it.
	We have obviously usually a comment on issues where we ask you guys questions, but come on, let Gerald know that you love him.
	Give him a congratulations.
	Nice comments.
	Dave also has a major announcement.
	Oh, uh, well we should definitely reverse this.
	I'm gonna be on a fishing show.
	That's cool, too.
	Oh, he's a fan and he's watching.
	No, in seriousness, check out BassSquatchHunter.tv.
	It's on the Pursuit channel, which you can check local listings.
	Starting next week, I'm on the season finale.
	It's my buddy Mike McKinstry.
	It's a really, really fun show, and then it'll be up on YouTube after that, and you can watch me looking for bass.
	Did you catch any?
	Are you supposed to reveal that, or is that like the big thing?
	He was looking for bass, you were looking for...
	Yeah, I was going to do that and then I held off because I got a little eyeball from Steven.
	But yeah, I did.
	I caught, I did catch fish.
	I'm not gonna say many fish.
	Yeah, well, you know, Gerald caught a little more.
	Hey, promo code is CROWDERCOMEBACK.
	You get $20 off a one-year subscription right now if you want to join at Mug Club.
	And Dave is also in the Spokane Comedy Club in Washington this Friday and Saturday at 7.30 and 10.30.
	Okay, before we move on to Larry Elder being hit with eggs by a racist in a gorilla mask.
	I don't think she was a racist.
	I just don't think she could afford a new mask.
	Yeah, still raised.
	It's still wrong.
	I mean, could you imagine someone threw eggs at Barack Obama in a gorilla mask?
	Like, oh, President, blah, blah, blah.
	It would just be awful.
	And rightfully so, like, President, blah, blah, blah.
	Like, seriously, it's just, everything about this is ridiculous.
	Also, I've learned that private security, in some cases, are useless.
	But before we get to that, lefty TikTokers, and the nursing scandal right now, Leftist tiktokers, they want you to know that you can refer to your daughter... This is where we are, okay?
	It's offensive to refer to your daughter as Princess.
	So I don't know if this is considered an unpopular opinion, but if you have a daughter, you need to stop calling her princess if you do.
	The way that Disney has branded the princess is based on her beauty as her most important asset.
	This term also encourages the damsel in distress that needs to be rescued by a man, and it doesn't focus on their intelligence or integrity or any other character trait.
	Why don't we call girls scientist, engineer, doctor?
	Like, why does it have to be something fancy?
	My wife plays a good doctor.
	Yes.
	Oh, princess, what do you mean?
	She involves a hammock.
	No!
	My daughter's father called her princess yesterday, and I had to lecture him again, because we do not use that term in this house.
	My daughter's father?
	Even my own sisters have called her princess.
	I hope you threw your tuna casserole against the wall.
	Don't call her that.
	Maybe I come across as very controlling, but I think it's a very harmful word and she shouldn't look up to that term.
	I hate you.
	No, because we wouldn't want anyone to perpetuate, of course, the stereotype of princess.
	That's not something that we would ever want there.
	You can be a little more timely there, Tim.
	Well, as long as you're a man.
	Yeah, as long as you're a man.
	It's like, oh no, listen.
	Listen, this is just, I believe I'm a woman.
	Really?
	How many transgender individuals Uh, are saying, I want to be a woman.
	Why?
	So I can become a scientist.
	No!
	They want to become a woman so they can have big ol' fake tits and clown makeup.
	Let's be really clear about it.
	Okay?
	And all of a sudden it's like, oh, Caitlyn Jen- Bruce Jenner, is now Caitlyn Jenner, is dressed like a Barbie, wearing a corset with those dimensions, and is wearing a princess tiara.
	But, hey, well no, that's fine.
	Just not for biological women.
	Well, do you see the example she used?
	She's like, oh, princess, what do you need?
	And she's like, why can't we call him scientist doctor?
	Because I don't call my son, oh, scientist, what do you need?
	I don't believe he's ever been to an accredited university.
	I don't believe that she has a degree for me to call her a doctor.
	Also, one!
	It's a bit early to be calling.
	And I love how she referred to her husband as my child's father.
	What is it with labels in you?
	Is that not appropriate?
	Are you not husband and wife anymore?
	That's fine.
	I wouldn't be.
	Well, I hope if you leave that you don't try and take any said finances from your child's father, since you're such a strong, independent woman.
	Yeah, that's true.
	No, no, no, no.
	I want my cake and eat it too.
	I just think everything's terrible.
	Don't call them princess.
	Look, do you know why particularly men will call their daughter princess?
	That's what's most common.
	There's a great book called Wild at Heart, actually, that you should read.
	And it talks about how every young man needs a battle to fight, a dragon to slay, and a
	princess to save.
	That's also why women have been told for a very long time, until recently, that you don't
	just want to give it all away, that you want the man to pursue you.
	Fathers call their daughters princesses because they want to elevate them, and they hope that
	women think highly of themselves, they're young girls, and they develop self-esteem
	so that other men end up esteeming them and treating them as a princess.
	That's the idea.
	The idea is they're saying, you're so special, I'm going to treat you like a princess.
	To act as though that comes from anything other than love.
	By the way, by the way, there have been princesses, there have been queens, who've been very accomplished.
	Yes.
	I don't know why you're knocking them.
	She just doesn't like Disney.
	Why don't you just say that?
	Many liked horses.
	They liked horses?
	And long hair.
	They made good quotes?
	Let them eat cake?
	That's all I got.
	Some are better than others.
	It just doesn't matter.
	You're just pretending to be offended by something.
	Right.
	And then you're going on TikTok trying to lecture them.
	You're a white woman.
	Stop acting like you're not the second worst.
	Your daughter, if you continue down this line, is going to be the absolute worst child.
	In the order of worst, it goes...
	South African prince.
	There you go.
	Princess.
	Your daughter's gonna treat men like garbage because of you.
	And be single until she's 35.
	And then never be happy.
	And then overvalue her sexual value in the marketplace when she's in her 20s.
	Because she's going to think that, well, I believe, I identify as a chemical engineer.
	But you're not.
	No, maybe biochemist.
	But you're none of those things.
	You got a gender studies degree and you dropped out of that and then demanded someone else pay your student loans.
	Are you calling me princess?
	That would be a step up.
	I think you should shut up and hopefully find a nice home and a gutter.
	Now, uh, New World Order is something that does bother me.
	This is trending number three right now.
	What?
	Because someone said the quiet part out loud.
	Uh-oh.
	Doctor... well, Australian doctor.
	I don't know.
	I don't know.
	Does that count?
	I don't know what kind of vetting they do there.
	Come on.
	It's a penal colony.
	What are you getting?
	What are you getting?
	A major in rape and a minor in keelhauling?
	Ugh.
	That's what I call my daughter, major rape.
	Yes, major rape.
	Women can be majors too.
	Yeah, what, you got a problem with majors?
	I'm sorry, the rank is what threw me off.
	So Australian Public Health Chief Dr. Carrie Chant just said this.
	This is why it's trending.
	These words, actually.
	We will be looking at what contact tracing looks like in the new world order.
	Yes, it will be pubs and clubs and other things if we have a positive case there.
	Our response may be different if we know that people are fully vaccinated.
	First off, good on her, good on all of Australia for getting the first signer we've seen without manhands.
	Yeah, that is nice.
	I don't want to say normal.
	At least an average signer.
	It just doesn't need to be like a Seinfeld episode.
	Yeah, a non three-ring circus signer.
	I still think it's fake.
	Yeah.
	They said this out, usually I don't like to get into conspiracy theories because the term New World Order has often been attributed to people who are creating conspiracies.
	Or wrestling.
	But she said this out loud and didn't someone else, wasn't there someone who, I feel like this is something that has actually been talked about.
	You know what this is?
	This is Ivermectin for humans at one of the Nobel Prizes in antiviral.
	And this is inhalable, or these are the tablets, steroids.
	So let me show ya.
	I was gonna do this anyways earlier.
	See this?
	See this, Fauci?
	You see this, Bill Gates?
	I'm gonna kill those prions, you b****** murders.
	Gonna hit me with a bioweapon, you monster.
	You wanna suppress me, you wanna kill me, you son of a b******.
	You b****** damn demon.
	You think I'm easy to kill?
	You damn monster.
	That's a hell of a plug for Topo, is that right?
	Nobel Prize winning for humans!
	Nobel Prize winning for you!
	You know, if it weren't for the movements- I'm glad that's not a beer, I thought it was.
	If it weren't for the movements that actually can't be caught by a 60 frame rate-
	Right.
	Everything you just said is entirely right!
	And he's talking about, he went on to talk about the New World Order.
	That's what he said, in the New World Order.
	And she's like, ah, I misspoke.
	What I meant is One World Government.
	Look, this is something, and we're going to get to some more of what they've talked about on CNN today.
	They want to force you.
	Let's not be confused here that the left believes in your right to choose when it comes to anything outside of murdering a baby inside the womb.
	They don't believe in your right to choose when it comes to what car you can drive, what
	kind of food you can eat, what kind of place you can live in, what kind of transportation
	you can use, drinks, big gulps, nor what you can do as it relates to experimental to new
	vaccines.
	Look, this is the only thing anyone, if anyone talks about the vaccines, this is the issue
	here.
	I think that if you weigh the risks and rewards just like anything else, and you think that
	it's worth the reward, you should take the vaccine.
	And there are some people who cannot.
	There are people with actual medical conditions, like GBS.
	This is something I ran into with my wife.
	It's a nerve condition that she woke up from.
	It was triggered by anesthesia.
	She can't even take a flu shot.
	These things exist.
	And anyone who says that we have long-term studies, you're lying.
	You can't.
	Now, it doesn't mean that there's anything wrong with the vaccine.
	No one is saying that.
	But the problem is when you go out and you so overreach, that it's a lie that people can recognize. Well, guess what?
	That's when you create people who don't trust you. And we'll get to some of those
	demographics here in the country in a second.
	But first, this is something that was, I would say, surprising to me, that it was surprising to
	our government, but it's not. The Taliban announced their new government leadership, and then
	Lincoln.
	I swear to you.
	Blinken was absolutely shocked at their lack of diversity.
	That's not a joke.
	Here's a clip.
	Yesterday, the Taliban named a new interim government.
	We're assessing the announcement, but despite professing that a new government would be inclusive, the announced list of names consists exclusively of individuals who are members of the Taliban or their close associates.
	and no women.
	It just makes common sense.
	We understand the Taliban has presented this as a caretaker cabinet.
	We will judge it and them by its actions.
	The international community has made clear its expectations.
	Yeah, well, look.
	One in one hand and shit in the other, Blinken.
	See which one fills up first.
	We're really hoping the Taliban includes someone.
	This is the difference.
	In the United States, someone loses their office if they don't fervently support a George Floyd mural.
	In the Taliban, they're still enforcing Sharia law and they're going to stone women to death if they're even accused of adultery.
	Hopefully we see some good representation.
	Do you have any idea how much they're laughing at you?
	Oh my god.
	Well, the women can't drive to work.
	That's why they can't.
	It's a transportation issue.
	I love how he's focused on the lack of diversity and not on the fact that there's a country run by terrorists with our tanks and Blackhawks!
	What the hell is the matter with you?
	Yeah, they're terrorists.
	They're not diverse.
	They have our Blackhawks for crying out loud.
	Do you have any idea what they're going to do with the women?
	I can show you the world of Blackhawks.
	Shining, shimmering, bye bye.
	They're going to toss them from Blackhawks.
	This is the actual leader, the supreme leader, sorry, of the Taliban, according to former Vice President Joe Biden.
	Why give them the respect of pronouncing it as they would?
	I think it's funny.
	It's like a joke to me.
	Yeah, to us, not to him.
	But to them, they're dead serious.
	They're like, we don't want to mispronounce the people.
	We don't want to mispronounce the people.
	We could offend the guys who took all of our weapons and murdered people.
	Right, yeah, we wouldn't want to offend the people who mutilate their women and allow them no rights whatsoever.
	So, the Taliban Supreme Leader, Hayyabatullah Ahmad, you know what, I can't pronounce it, the Taliban, the asshole leader of the Taliban, He said, in the future, all matters of governance and life in Afghanistan will be regulated by the laws of the Holy Sharia.
	Hey, by the way, remember when the left said that a Sharia law is not a thing?
	Because Dr. Ben Carson said, I actually believe that anyone who agrees with Sharia law, that it's incompatible with the Constitution.
	And you know why?
	Because Islam, actually, particularly the Quran, is a political prescription just as much as it is a religion.
	It outlines a system of laws, and that is the reason that entire area of the world has never gotten it right when it comes to women's rights.
	They can't.
	I know someone will send me a picture of someone in Iran in the 70s wearing a one-piece.
	Okay!
	They had like three good years.
	It was downhill from there.
	Check in now.
	Yeah, there was a point when that happened.
	Yeah, for like three good years.
	Three good years.
	Write a song about that one, Sinatra!
	But even making that point to you, it's like, yeah, you're just proving exactly what my point is.
	Right.
	They jumped right back onto it and ruined their lives.
	Well, not only do they not have women in government, they also banned the Taliban, women from playing sports.
	With the exception, of course, of the all-female Taliban softball champions.
	So they're pretty, yeah, they're good.
	Yeah, those are...
	The one on the right almost looks like Maddie.
	Not in a bad way.
	They live in a nice three story.
	I'm sorry, they were thrown from a nice three story.
	Oh, that's right.
	They should have known when they were asked to volunteer to play softball.
	I mean, look, can you guys let me in?
	Just comment.
	I was watching this going, are we beyond parody?
	Yes.
	Did anyone out there, here's my question, did anyone out there actually expect the Taliban to be inclusive, not even getting to menstruating persons?
	Did we expect them to be inclusive?
	Women?
	And I know you're thinking, synonym?
	No, it's not, apparently.
	Did anyone actually out there expect them to be fair and to give equal treatment?
	Now, I know most of you are going, rhetorical questions, Stephen.
	And don't get so smarmy in the comment section.
	So, my follow-up question is, did you actually expect the left to expect equal treatment of women?
	Do you think they actually expected that?
	This is what surprises me.
	Like, were they actually blindsided?
	Hell yeah!
	Hey, Mr. Taliban!
	Hey, what?
	What?
	What Yeah, I heard the people also getting the knocks on the door in the dead of night and getting shot in their beds were also a little pissed off that there wasn't more diversity in the assassination squad.
	You know, the Taliban's show on the Peacock has a lot of diversity.
	Oh.
	And I think it's important.
	We have to give credit where it's due.
	It's true.
	Why would you ever even bring it up?
	That's the problem with America.
	We're so woke, we've become just a clown circus.
	Do you understand what is required to kill to win a war?
	This is the thing.
	I don't think Americans have the stomach for it.
	We may not have the time to do the whole woke military segment today, but I don't think that Amer... Do you know what a war... Do you know how you win a war?
	You go in, you destroy all enemies, you level everything, You enslave the women, which is not... I'm not saying it's right.
	This is what happened though since the beginning of time, up until the evil empire that is the United States.
	You take all of their resources and you make sure that it is so brutal, so swift, that no one else even dare speak up about challenging you.
	And instead, we go in and we don't take their resources, we don't take their oil, we try to build up a democracy, and we ask for nothing more than the land in which to bury the dead who died for them.
	Are militaries capable of winning wars?
	Our people at the desks, the people like Blinken's, don't have the stomach for it, and I don't think that Americans have the stomach for winning a war today.
	No.
	We used to have people commit suicide because they could not go to war.
	Because they were not found capable.
	They didn't have the eyesight or they had a body condition.
	We've gone from people now, they don't care.
	They don't care what it costs to be free.
	The older brother in The Wonder Years had flat feet.
	Couldn't join the army.
	He was depressed for like a week.
	Yeah he was.
	I got flat feet.
	But then he bounced back with those Golden Graham commercials.
	He did.
	And using the F word a lot, if you see the movie Monster Squad.
	Yes.
	Watching Wayne just throw out three gay slurs is really something.
	Well, at least Matt Damon stopped.
	So here's another thing.
	A man.
	Larry Elder.
	A woman.
	Yes, a menstruating person.
	A person.
	So Larry Elder, who's running for governor against Gavin Newsom.
	He's been on the show quite a few times.
	I won't have him back until he grows back the mustache.
	He was touring a homeless encampment in Venice.
	First mistake.
	But an insane person!
	He was walking through Venice?
	Yes!
	Just any part.
	Greater Los Angeles area.
	There you go.
	And I warn you that this will be upsetting.
	I don't know what you call this person.
	A person in a gorilla mask attacked Larry Elder, a black candidate for governor, by whipping eggs at him and then assaulted his security guards who were non-violently protecting him all on camera.
	And as of this show right now, as the airing of this broadcast, it is 10 39 A.M.
	Eastern.
	I don't think that anyone has been arrested.
	There haven't been any charges pressed.
	It's on camera.
	Multiple angles.
	Here you go.
	Here's a gorilla mask.
	On the right.
	Throwing.
	Missed.
	That was throws like a girl.
	You f*ing take your guy's hands off me mother f*er.
	Touch me again.
	Touch me again.
	Don't touch her.
	Don't touch her.
	Quintessential feminism.
	Commits assault and then is offended when a man says stop committing assault.
	Alright, we won't call your daughter princess.
	I got it.
	Alright.
	Come on, guy!
	The security should be going through there and just laying people out!
	A white woman yelling at a black man, you're not black enough.
	Right.
	Dressed in a gorilla mask.
	Wouldn't it have been more offensive had she gone Larry Elder?
	I've taken a lot of LSD and I don't know what's real anymore.
	I really don't.
	Every day I wake up, I'm like, that happened, right?
	Was that a nightmare?
	It's a lady, a white lady, in a gorilla mask.
	And then they will say, all domestic, they will say that all political violence is committed from those on the right.
	This person did it to the leading Republican candidate in California, in plain view, with several people backing this broad, I assume, in the gorilla mask, up, and then assaulting security officers.
	Again, it's not that they did this, it's that the left fears no accountability.
	Yeah.
	No retribution whatsoever, and that is not a good path to go down.
	Because guess what?
	Someone's going to start dishing out retribution soon.
	Government, you need to do your job.
	Media, you need to do your job.
	Or the Americans who are tired of getting physically assaulted will do it for you.
	And I pray that it doesn't come to that, but it will!
	Yeah, absolutely.
	I'm kind of offended that she missed from eight feet.
	Well, she's a menstruating person.
	Yeah, these aren't great athletes.
	Exactly.
	Larry Elder should have turned around and been like, time of the month?
	You should have just belted her.
	You should have been like, I'm sorry, I thought you were a gorilla.
	That's exactly what I was going to say.
	Would you have a defense?
	Like, if you got hit, first off, you've been punched.
	Are you allowed to punch back?
	Is it legal in California?
	I don't know.
	California's really stupid.
	But nonetheless, could you be like, oh, I thought, I didn't know you were a woman.
	How am I supposed to know?
	You're behind that mask.
	You'd be anything.
	I'm sorry, princess.
	Well, next time I'll get it right.
	Ah, why?
	Put a tiara on that gorilla mask.
	I would have just acted like it was real and been like, is that a gorilla riding a bike?
	Wow.
	That's insane.
	Just stop.
	Well, Larry Elder, godspeed.
	Yes, I hope you win.
	It's like dressing up as a Nazi and calling someone a Nazi.
	They think they can do whatever they want, and then they just throw it at you.
	You can't call a girl princess, but you can dress up like a gorilla and attack a black man.
	I'll give you one even more.
	Obviously the swastika symbol, which really shouldn't be as offensive as it is because it was originally an Indian symbol for peace.
	No, it was an Indian symbol for peace, the swastika, then it was co-opted.
	However, the hammer and sickle, which resulted in far more deaths now, let me be really clear.
	Nazis, bad.
	Deaths from Nazis, bad.
	Complete condemnation.
	What I'm saying is that was a co-opted symbol.
	It wasn't originally a Nazi symbol.
	However, the Hammer and Sickle is responsible for just as many deaths, and you can go to breweries and pro-labor protests and find the Hammer and Sickle everywhere.
	There is a brewery in Traverse City, Michigan, when we were driving through, and I took my grandmother-in-law there, she was 92, and she looked up and she saw portraits of Stalin and Mao, and she almost had a tear brought to her eye, because she was around for it, by the way, Russian, and said, uh, I've got to get out of here.
	I've got to get out of here.
	Why don't we treat them the same?
	Yeah.
	Tens of millions of people died under that symbol.
	Actually, hundreds.
	It's more like hundreds.
	I was trying to lowball it.
	Let's lowball it and call it somewhere between 50 and 100.
	Well, it's also, look at the skull and crossbones on my lower back.
	That's just to let people know it's a pirate and also my booty hole's poison.
	There might be some plundering afoot.
	There is going to be pillaging.
	Oh my gosh.
	This is something else before we move on here.
	Again, I want to get into the nursing shortage issue and some stories here that I encountered and also Gerald did.
	But before that, look, we have a This Week in Biden.
	Before I go to this, I have never seen a president, I think this is something that cannot be up for debate, I have never seen a president in my lifetime, and I've watched every single major presidential debate, by the way, going back to I want to say Mondale.
	I used to watch them on C-SPAN, and you can watch them online.
	Really?
	Yeah, just because I wanted to see what they were about.
	I've never seen any president abdicate his responsibility as much.
	Every single time Joe Biden goes up and speaks, and he'll be going up and speaking tomorrow.
	He spoke yesterday, he'll speak tomorrow, which is very busy for him.
	Yeah, it's a lot.
	Ten minutes, two days.
	So I want you to watch for this when he comes up later today.
	He always says, they told me.
	I was told.
	Afghanistan, not his fault.
	It was other advisors.
	COVID, not his fault.
	They told me this.
	I'm not allowed to do this.
	I have to do this.
	My advisors have said you have to do X. And so this is just a small portion.
	We could do a clip of this for 10 minutes.
	You can say what you want about Donald Trump.
	Say what you want about George W. Bush.
	They did not say, well, I'm basically a puppet.
	So let me make this as clear as I can this week in Biden.
	If you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't black.
	You guys are bad.
	I'm not supposed to be answering all these questions.
	I'm supposed to leave, but I can't resist your questions.
	I'm supposed to stop and walk out of the room here.
	I'm going to stop.
	With your permission, I'm going to walk into the room because I want to say a little.
	I'm not supposed to take any questions, but go ahead.
	I'm not going to answer again.
	Stand down.
	They gave me a list here.
	The first person I was instructed to call on was Kelly O'Donnell of NBC.
	I'll take your questions and as usual, folks, they gave me a list of the people I'm going to call on.
	So, uh, Jonathan, Associated Press.
	I'm not going to punish anybody, but everyone should pay a fair share.
	I can lay out for you.
	I won't now because they'll shoot me.
	But here's the deal.
	Thank you.
	And I'm happy to take questions if that's what I'm supposed to do, Nance, whatever you want me to do.
	I'm sorry, this is the last question I'll take.
	I'm really going to get in trouble.
	I'm sorry I'm going to get in trouble with staff if I don't do this the right way.
	Jennifer Jacob Bloomberg.
	Thank you very much.
	Thank you.
	Thank you.
	I'm going to get in trouble with my staff.
	Yeah, go ahead.
	I'll pretend that you didn't answer.
	Thank you very much, sir.
	You have often said repeatedly that America is back.
	Yes.
	At the same time, you've kept in place some Trump-era steel and aluminum sanctions.
	And I wanted to ask you, when you're having these conversations with European allies, who are very concerned about these sanctions, how do you justify that?
	And what are your plans?
	120 days.
	Give me a break.
	Need time.
	If you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't black.
	The buck stops...
	He's totally in control.
	We have Donald Trump Jr.
	coming on in 50 minutes, so we're going to move some stuff to Mug Club, by the way.
	You can join Mug Club.
	Crowder, come back, get $20 off.
	Crowdershop.com if you don't want to buy Mug Club.
	And the best way to watch... Quarter Black Garrett's not here.
	The best way to just tune in, because notifications don't necessarily work, is it's a live show Monday through Thursday.
	10 a.m.
	Eastern, we're back on a regular schedule, and of course you get an hour in addition to Mug Club.
	So my question to you, before I move on with this, is...
	Why do you think the media, before we get to this, why do you believe the media is pushing the scare tactic?
	No available beds again.
	We were just, before CNN went to reverse mortgage commercials, they were just talking about in Kentucky extreme measures.
	They've been talking about how we have ICU beds shortages.
	So let me, hold on a second, I want to make sure I get the right montage because we had to cut some stuff short here with Donald Trump Jr.
	coming on.
	Oh no, that's wrong.
	We have to run that clip of the Michael Schmerconish from CNN.
	You want to do that now?
	No, no, no.
	We'll do it for Mug Club.
	You're going to love this Mug Club.
	You're going to lose your mind.
	But, Dave, can you, what are you doing?
	Let's just stop with the, oh, geez.
	Let's are you.
	He's been antsy all show?
	Yeah.
	I'm hungry.
	Okay, well look, look, because you guys can't see, he's shaking his leg and we have some built bars.
	You forbid me from eating in the studio, Steven.
	No, I didn't forbid you from eating in the studio.
	Yes, you did.
	I forbid you from hawking Reese's, who are not a sponsor, to this show.
	We have some built bars out there in the green room.
	Just go.
	Go, go, go, go, go.
	Alright, fine.
	Fine.
	Go, go, go.
	Fine.
	Take off your headphones.
	I have to do that.
	Alright, let him go.
	Hey Dave, you trying out those built bars?
	Yeah, I am.
	Oh, they are symphony of flavors.
	So what flavor is that?
	Looks like it's a birthday cake.
	Why don't you come over and have a taste?
	Alright, really quick before we move on to the nursing shortage, ICU bed shortage lie,
	it is a built bar.
	Let me be really clear here.
	No one needs to eat protein bars.
	And people that, I don't really use a lot of supplements.
	These things taste like candy bars.
	They're really good.
	That's the only reason I eat them is at night I'm like, oh, I want something sweet.
	I eat a built bar.
	The salted caramel is amazing.
	And they're double chocolate.
	Because they actually put real chocolate in the built bar, like coated in dark chocolate.
	Yeah, I eat candy in a hat, actually.
	I don't know if you knew that.
	Yeah, I have a hat for eating candy.
	So, yeah, it's really good.
	But they are really good, actually.
	The mint chocolate one?
	Oh, yeah, that's the one.
	That one, that's the king of mint.
	That's Tocanalan's favorite, and Thomas Finnegan loves the coconut.
	So go to built.com.
	Cryder 15.
	You get 15% off.
	I will say this.
	I was 260, a big part of it was fluid, after the surgery.
	Two weeks.
	I went from 233 the morning of the surgery to 260 in two weeks.
	So I cut out all sweets.
	Then I cut out all carbohydrates.
	I mean, weight still kept going up, so I was panicking.
	Once they removed the fluid, I was down to, like, 238.
	And then all I did was, look, if I wanted to eat something, I just would eat a Bilt Bar.
	And I dropped back down to 230 in another two weeks.
	So, yeah.
	Helped me from eating those Reese's Cups.
	You have 30 pounds of stuff in your lungs, and you're like, I should cut out eggs.
	No idea.
	Maybe, maybe, Michaela Peterson, I should only eat ribeye.
	Why are you throwing up my figure?
	I actually did accidentally go on the carnivore diet.
	You did?
	Well, the only reason was because I was by myself, recovering by myself, and so I would have to grill, like, my own steak, and it was just too much work to make vegetables.
	I was like, I don't like this anyway.
	You're like, I'm just eating two steaks a night.
	I'm like, what?
	I was like, yeah!
	That's your only steak.
	It wasn't on purpose!
	Okay.
	I don't want no broccoli.
	I'm with you.
	It's a lot of work for no flavor.
	Yeah, steaming it.
	I don't know.
	Okay, so let's go through.
	The media has been, of course, talking about the hospital bed shortage.
	This is the main talking point du jour.
	Guys, we may be five minutes late with Donald Trump Jr.
	Let him know.
	Remember, this all started, so we need some context here so this information doesn't exist in a vacuum.
	We prepared for a crazy COVID surge.
	This all started as two weeks To flatten the curve.
	Let's go.
	The U.S. Navy hospital ship Mercy is pulling into the port behind me here in San Pedro,
	California.
	It has 1000 much needed hospital beds, 900 medical personnel, and that is really going
	to help relieve the pressure on L.A. area hospitals during this pandemic.
	Couldn't make their bed when the news was coming?
	You'd think so.
	When COVID-19 cases really started to spike in Massachusetts, the state rushed to increase
	its hospital bed capacity.
	22 News Statehouse reporter Jody Reed joins us live from Boston.
	Jody, there are big questions tonight about whether the measures the state took early on were actually necessary.
	Right now, two out of the four field hospitals in the state remain empty.
	In fact, they never even saw a single patient.
	UK's $6.7 million field hospital at Nutter Fieldhouse is officially closed.
	That word today from UK officials.
	Based on the data we have now, based on the models that have been established that we have now, we don't believe we'll need that field hospital.
	Well, that's because I think in that case, look, that's an exception.
	I don't think people trusted the medical personnel at a place called Nutter.
	Is that Jack Ruby, by the way?
	Where are you going, a nutter?
	No, no, no, I'm going to get my transplant at SACTAP.
	I hear that place is nuts.
	Right?
	I don't know, every time I walk in, they keep doing this, and then they hit me.
	Yeah, it's so strange.
	So childish.
	I keep looking at it every time.
	It's only to ball-sweat you.
	Yes.
	So this was the whole thing, right?
	Flatten the curve.
	They had all of these empty hospitals and buildings.
	I want to make sure you understand, because now People are saying, well, we don't have enough beds.
	Well, that's partially true.
	Partially true.
	But the reason why, it's not just because of COVID.
	It's not just because there was a crazy surge of COVID and we weren't ready for it.
	No, that's actually the opposite of what happened in a lot of these cases.
	So now the claim is hospitals, after you just saw those empty hospitals, for a very, very long time.
	Hospitals have no free beds now and they're overcapacity.
	Here you go.
	South Carolina hospitals are once again reaching their limits due to an influx of COVID-19 patients.
	At the Asate Three Rivers Medical Center in Grants Pass, things are as busy as ever.
	100% of the patients in the ICU suffer from the COVID-19 virus.
	The current COVID surge is still overwhelming the hospital.
	We are perilously close, as you mentioned in the beginning of the segment, of having, in certain areas of the country, getting so close to having full occupancy that you're going to be in a situation where you're going to have to make some very tough choices.
	Okay, so here's something that a lot of hospitals operate close to capacity as a business model, period.
	Yeah.
	OK?
	Dr. Mark Boone, the CEO of Houston Methodist Hospital, he actually explained this in August.
	Now, I'm just using this as a specific example.
	However, this is well known as a business model, for the same reason that we only bought enough studio space
	that we were going to use.
	Right, yeah.
	You don't want a ton of excess capacity.
	You don't want a ton of excess capacity.
	That's not only when you're talking about rent, when you're talking, if you're even buying this property, talking about heating, cooling, utility costs.
	This is how, not to mention staffing, this is very, very commonplace.
	So the context matters.
	Let's have Dr. Mark Boom talk about this from Houston Methodist.
	So I pulled up June 25th, 2019, exactly one year ago, and said, okay, what was our ICU capacity at one year ago today?
	It was at 95%.
	We are highly experienced at utilizing our ICU beds for the sickest of the sick patients, day in, day out, as I've said.
	and it is completely normal for us to have ICU patients that run in the 80s and 90s.
	All the hospitals operate. What's different now of course is that about one in four of
	those ICU patients are COVID patients at our hospital system right now.
	So clearly that means some of the non-COVID ICU care has already been titrated down a little to allow that level to happen.
	But this is an activity we do day in, day out, as I've said.
	So we have many levers in our ability to adjust our ICU usage.
	And I want to get to, because your wife is a nurse.
	She is.
	And we're going to get to your story in a second because it's very important and she gave you permission to talk about it.
	She did, yeah.
	And I had a recent run-in in a hospital.
	A pregnant nurse.
	Pregnant nurse, yeah.
	Which is like most of my Google history.
	You know what I'm saying?
	Twins!
	Now we're also being told that the nurses are burnt out, right?
	That they're burnt out overall, despite the empty hospitals that you just saw, that were built for this, and that this is the reason there is a staffing shortage.
	Again, all of this is being crafted so that you believe in narrative.
	There's a crack in the front line in the battle against COVID.
	Nurses are burned out and considering leaving the profession altogether.
	The state and nation facing a nurse shortage that's only expected to get worse.
	Our health care workers are overworked.
	They're mentally and emotionally exhausted and now some Valley nurses are leaving the profession to pursue other careers.
	On TikTok.
	Alright, that's enough.
	Doctors across the United States are struggling under the burden of a fourth wave of hospitalizations
	and deaths driven by the Delta variant and the close to 40% of Americans who remain unvaccinated.
	It's not because all of them are burnt out, despite what nurses tell you on TikTok.
	Many hospitals were forced to pause all elective procedures, meaning it was all hands on deck COVID, build up new hospitals for COVID exclusively, and stop Stop any treatment for anything other than COVID, even though you just heard, you know, from Houston Methodist, for example, at any point in time, one in four patients may be COVID.
	What would constitute elective procedures, by the way?
	Well, minor things like heart stints, right?
	Heart valve surgery, mammograms, kidney stone removal, hip and knee replacements.
	These were all put on pause.
	Back surgery.
	They were all put on pause.
	And so, what happened was a record number of nurses were laid off.
	They were laid off, or they were furloughed, which is, I guess, basically, they don't technically fire a nurse.
	Yeah, it's like, we don't really want to kind of fire you.
	We're going to call you back in, like, three months.
	Well, see, the issue with that is when I saw furlough with nurses about a year back, I was thinking, like, when they furlough prisoners, which I remember the first time I heard about that.
	For those who don't know, it's someone who's in prison and they let them out for the weekend.
	That happens?
	That's still a thing?
	Yeah!
	He had someone whacked!
	Yeah, he left prison to kill someone.
	He left prison to kill someone, then walked back into his 20x40 cell with a wine cellar!
	So the point is not interchangeable terms.
	Nurses who've been furloughed, nurses who've had their hours cut.
	In April 2020, this is overlay P, a record number, 1.4 million healthcare workers, 1.4 million healthcare workers were laid off or had their hours cut.
	That's insane.
	And of course, many of the field hospitals constructed never had any patients.
	No.
	A lot of the ships didn't have patients.
	77 total at the Mercy.
	I think they need more ghost ships.
	Yes.
	182 total patients for the Comfort New York in New York.
	155 million spent on tents at Stony Brook University.
	Zero patients.
	Oh my gosh.
	So just to be clear, this is a self-inflicted wound.
	They said, we need to flatten the curve.
	We need to flatten the curve and all elective procedures.
	And so then a record number of health care workers were laid off.
	And so what happens is you don't have the staffing for a lot of these beds that are already operating at capacity anyway.
	This is a self-inflicted wound because of mass media hysteria.
	Let's be really, really clear.
	Also, I would make the argument that someone who needs serious cardiovascular surgery should probably be given priority over someone with a milder case of COVID.
	That's just opinion.
	I'm not a doctor, and neither are you!
	Well, I think they should certainly be giving it over zero patients.
	Right.
	They need a heart stint.
	It's like, I'm sorry, there's no one here.
	I can't help you.
	So now the claim is, well nurses are quitting because of now these burdens that come with treating COVID patients.
	So they want you to believe that now, even though there's a record number of layoffs, now a lot of nurses are leaving.
	And that is true.
	Yeah.
	But it's because of, they just can't even.
	This is what they're saying now.
	Clip L1.
	A 2010 LDI study that looked at hospital understaffing in New York and Illinois found that, quote, each additional patient per nurse was associated with significant increases in the odds of nurses reporting poor outcomes, including job dissatisfaction, intent to leave their job, and high burnout.
	The latest surge is pushing his healthcare workers to the breaking point.
	We've had people literally walk off the job because they couldn't take it anymore.
	Somebody walking off of their shift at this hospital.
	We've had people walk off their shift.
	They walked right past 155 empty beds.
	Because they just couldn't take it anymore.
	In the state of Mississippi, some 2,000 nurses have quit since the pandemic.
	It's every day.
	I mean, just people can't take it.
	It's not because they don't want to do a good job.
	We've made it really hard for them with this influx to our healthcare system.
	Okay, let's cut this.
	Let's cut this because this is going to keep going on.
	Stress, burnout, fatigue.
	Actually, no.
	There's another reason that there's a staffing shortage with nurses.
	That nurses are walking off the job.
	There you go.
	I was actually going to ask you, before you comment, what do you think it is?
	A huge portion of nurses are refusing to get the vaccine.
	No.
	At least 153 employees, by the way.
	From Houston Methodists.
	They were fired for refusing the vaccine.
	One third of all nurses at the University of Cincinnati, their medical centers, said that they'd rather quit than get the vaccine.
	In New York, 20% of hospital workers, all hospital workers, Not vaccinated.
	Florida, 42%.
	Nationally, one in four workers have not gotten vaccinated.
	Now, I know you're saying, oh, only 42%.
	Only a third.
	Here's the thing.
	When you've laid off a record number of nurses because you couldn't afford them due to putting basically a moratorium on all treatment that is not COVID, right?
	You're probably overextended because you built new wings that you didn't need with hospitals.
	One third, that's 33%, Yeah.
	nurses refusing to be vaccinated will absolutely have catastrophic results as it relates to a
	labor shortage. That would happen in any industry. Imagine 33% of people at this show gone,
	33% of people in any assembly line gone. That's a huge reason.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	A lot of these things happening at the same time, too, right?
	So this self-inflicted wound with some spikes in COVID, with the problem that people have this mass hysteria that they have to go to the hospital if they have the sniffles, right?
	So this whole like, oh, Delta variant surge thing.
	And it is a surge, absolutely, right?
	But everybody is so scared right now.
	Which I don't understand how there's a surge when 75% of Americans have received at least one vaccine.
	We're not doctors.
	We can't talk about that.
	Don't make an inference!
	That's a conspiracy theory.
	If you go, wait, most people are vaccinated, but there's the same number as last year.
	So many people get sick.
	Who would have ever thought?
	Go ahead.
	I know when I'm freaking out from being busy at a hospital, I have time to stop and talk to the news.
	Let's be really clear here though, because I do want to tell a story here, Gerald, and I'll tell my story there for Mug Club, but you can't also argue that nurses are leaving because, let's say right now, they're not being paid fairly.
	No, as a matter of fact, hospitals want these nurses so badly.
	that it's you know how it's a buyer's market it's a nurse's market right now uh yeah massive sign
	on bonuses upwards of a hundred dollars an hour right these are more than some doctors make
	certainly some uh like i think or other people who are who've been
	who've attended more medical school than nursing.
	People like some anesthesiologists, physicians assistants, Miami area hospitals,
	they're paying 85 to $105 an hour, $1,200 a week in travel expenses.
	Taylor Scott and White is offering a $15,000 sign on bonus.
	Why?
	Because right now there are enough nurses that are not just going, I'm stressed.
	They're saying, I don't wanna get this vaccine.
	Whether you think they're crazy stupid or not, because you'll say that we're not doctors, well, guess what?
	They do work in the medical field, and a significant portion, certainly enough to disrupt the supply chain, of nurses have said they will quit sooner than get a vaccination.
	And Gerald, your wife, is a nurse, and we have permission to talk about this.
	Yeah, yeah, she's a nurse.
	And so when we talked about what people should do with forced vaccines, which is coming up October 1st, I think is the deadline for a lot of people in different hospital systems in the country where they have to have the vaccination or be very, very, very clear about this.
	Be fired.
	There is no grace.
	There is nothing after that.
	You don't go on like some administrative leave.
	You don't have to work from home.
	You are fired.
	You are done.
	There are nurses right now that are just walking off the job.
	Like we've heard stories in the nursing community of 20 people on one shift.
	Saying, we're just gonna leave.
	Yeah.
	In one shift of some of the best of the best workers that these hospitals have leaving and going away.
	And so my wife... Mid-catheter.
	Exactly, like, ah, you're gonna have to take it out yourself.
	It's self-lubricating, though.
	I saw a commercial.
	I'll make it easier for you.
	Hold it on the table, whack it with a hammer, break it like a Kit-Kat.
	Oh, jeez.
	I got an inch in, the rest is up to you.
	So my wife was given the choice, right?
	Okay, get the vaccine or be fired.
	Yeah.
	Your pregnant wife.
	Well, so we didn't know that at the time.
	She's breastfeeding right now.
	We were a little concerned about that.
	There are several reasons that we're worried about this, but we're not anti-vax at all.
	My wife actually made fun of me for saying, hey, you should watch this thing about vaccinations early on in our relationship.
	So it was kind of funny.
	We're not even close to that.
	Then we find out my wife is pregnant, And my wife works from home 100% of the time.
	She never even goes near the hospital.
	And my wife has a note from her OBGYN who said, I would not recommend you take this.
	And she has it from her primary care provider, unsolicited.
	She didn't say, give me a note.
	She said, what do you think about this?
	Yes.
	And then give me a note to that, whatever you say.
	So she's got all of that.
	And she's in her first trimester.
	Do you know what they do with first trimester pregnant women?
	They give you nothing.
	Well, if you're in the Air Force, they give you a stretchier flight suit.
	You need it, right?
	You start to show a little bit of that.
	So they give you nothing.
	They say, look, in the first trimester, you need to be as careful as humanly possible.
	And you know what they're telling my wife right now?
	None of that matters.
	Yeah.
	None of that matters.
	You are going to have to get the vaccine and put your wife... Well, the hospital where your wife works.
	Right.
	Yeah.
	Not her doctors.
	No, no, no, no.
	The hospital where she works.
	I'm not going to... And to be clear, just to be clear, your wife...
	I would assume wouldn't take ibuprofen while she's in her first trimester either.
	My wife won't take ibuprofen while she's pregnant.
	Well, we tell women not to eat soft cheese or shellfish or all of these other things and we're telling them to take a vaccine right now that they have to mandate have to have to have a job.
	Right.
	And by the way, guess what happens if she gets fired on October 1st?
	Healthcare.
	Gone.
	Now my wife's pregnant without healthcare.
	Yeah, well also to be fair, your wife though, tell people this and then we're going to bring Donald Trump Jr.
	on.
	She was offered a job.
	So just to give you an example, because this hospital requires vaccinations, there have been mass walk-offs, and this has been happening at a lot of hospitals, but a hospital that does not require vaccination... Yeah, there's several hospitals that don't require this.
	One of the things was that Miami job was like seven or eight grand a week.
	No, for your wife.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, so tell them.
	I was talking about it in general.
	Your wife was specifically offered what?
	A signing bonus?
	I think it was a signing bonus of like $10,000, but it was through those offers, right?
	So she's in that group.
	She's an ICU qualified nurse, which is the top level that you can be.
	I think it was like a $10,000 signing bonus and a huge hourly rate.
	The bonus rate, or sorry, the overtime rate on that Miami job that we showed?
	$225 an hour.
	$225 an hour in 36 hours is full-time.
	They wanted you to do 48.
	So you can do the math.
	It's an amazing amount of money being offered to people right now because of what the hospitals are doing to themselves for no other reason.
	Literally.
	What reason can you possibly think of for somebody who works from home 100% of the time?
	And you didn't give them an exception.
	If you come to the campus you have to have the vaccine.
	What possible reason could there be?
	Yeah, and then they blame you and say, oh, stop playing politics with science.
	Well, hold on a second.
	The science says that a first trimester pregnant woman should be taking a vaccine with no long-term... Look, that's anything.
	Like you said, when my wife was first trimester pregnant, all of us, we were borderline obsessive, okay?
	It is not unreasonable at this point.
	It doesn't make you anti-vax at all.
	You can say, hey, a 70-year-old who's not pregnant makes sense.
	A 32-year-old who is first trimester working from home?
	It doesn't make sense.
	That is the issue that is going on right now.
	And they're playing politics with science.
	And now we are creating a labor shortage.
	And here's something, too.
	A lot of people out there will offer anecdotal evidence.
	There can be a regional problem.
	In other words, this kind of situation can create a problem, let's say, in Houston, Texas, where they are overburdened.
	Absolutely.
	And you go to a hospital and go, oh, it was crazy full.
	And then you go to a hospital in Miami, and they say, well, you can go to any hospital you want.
	We're running like clockwork.
	Awkward, right?
	So, two things can be true.
	You can anecdotally experience seamless care right now, or horrible care, depending how woke the hospital wants to virtue signal.
	If we have him on, do we have a stinger here?
	Coming on the show right now, of course, we are thrilled to have him.
	He's always a lot of fun, and we get some good stuff, is Donald Trump Jr.
	Stinger!
	How are you, sir?
	I'm doing good.
	How are you doing?
	I'm doing better, thank you for asking.
	You know, it's a little bit tough on the breathing front.
	You look like you're tan and slim.
	Is it less stressful being... Living in Florida is good compared to New York.
	It's just so much more active, naturally.
	It's a little bit better.
	It's a no-brainer.
	Okay, I have so many questions for you.
	First off, you're competing in the fight with your dad this weekend, Evander Holyfield versus Vitor Belfort, right?
	Yes.
	Okay, which roided up guy are you rooting for?
	Well listen, what's sort of funny is when I was talking to my dad about it, we got into some of this because we watched the first one when they did, you know, the Tyson-Roy Jones fight.
	Yeah.
	We watched it from Camp David as like a family and just had a good time and it was sort of amazing listening to my father talk about boxing because you see all the things that he does but you forget that like All those decades in Atlantic City.
	I mean, he hosted, like, UFC 1.
	Yeah, early on.
	He hosted all of those big fights.
	And so I'm listening to him talk about all of these fighters.
	He's like, you know, when that guy was fighting at 187, it was... And I'm just like, oh, my God.
	Like, this is sort of amazing.
	And so his fight knowledge is actually pretty incredible.
	And so, you know, I know the guys over at Triller.
	I was going anyway.
	I've been, you know... And we're like, this could be really fun and really cool.
	And I think it will be.
	So it's Saturday night.
	My father's gonna be commentating on all of those fights, and some of them are friends.
	Tito Ortiz, obviously, he's been a huge supporter politically, but he's been a friend for years.
	I mean, he did, even in his prime, he did The Apprentice and all of that stuff.
	So Vitor Belfort's a friend.
	Evander did a lot with my father in all of those fights.
	Like I said, the most fascinating thing was listening to my father talk about the history
	and how much recall he had about some of the behind the scenes stuff when those guys
	We're fighting in Atlantic City in front of them.
	Yeah, I mean, he's been a combat sport fan for a long time.
	I'm hoping that you and your dad don't get as high as Snoop Dogg and Oscar De La Hoya did at the last one there, commentating.
	I hope you do.
	Yeah, listen, we're two teetotalers, but I imagine it's still Trump and Trump, so there's
	probably, there's not a lot of filter going on in there.
	I mean, that's right.
	You know, Tourette's of, you know, just Tourette's.
	We don't need to throw in.
	I'm sure it's Tourette's of the thumbs over there.
	It's just going to be Tourette's.
	Yeah, we don't need to throw in the shrooms.
	Triller's putting it on.
	You can just check out any of the links on my social media.
	You're beautiful.
	He is beautiful.
	You are beautiful.
	I was like shut up James Blunt.
	So moving away from that, where can people tune in really quickly because this is something
	I will be watching.
	Yeah, it's pay per view on Saturday night.
	Triller's putting it on.
	You can just check out any of the links on my social media.
	It'll take you there.
	But yeah, Saturday night he's going to be commentating on all of those fights down here
	in Fort Lauderdale.
	Just going to be a lot of fun.
	Good card, a lot of friends involved.
	It's just going to be a good time.
	I think a bunch of the even current fighters and some of the UFC guys that are going to be there because so much of that is based in South Florida, they're going to come up and join us and talk, I think.
	Yeah, it sounds like it's going to be fun.
	Now, I'm going to shift gears here a little bit.
	Michael Chandler's going to be there, a couple other guys.
	So it should be a lot of fun getting their commentary as well and just watching those
	guys interact with my dad and myself.
	Yeah, it sounds like it's going to be fun.
	Now I'm going to shift gears here a little bit.
	Obviously with your dad having been out of office, but you guys have been having rallies.
	For me, I wanted to, and obviously I was still recovering, so I haven't spoken with you in
	a while.
	What was it like, or what did you think, with former Vice President Joe Biden attempting to blame his Afghanistan disaster?
	On the Trump administration.
	That for me was... Look, let me tell you where I line up really quickly so that that way we... I think if someone acts like they don't understand the difference between withdrawing American allies, ambassadors, citizens, being protected by the troops, and then taking out the troops last while leveling all of our military bases, if they don't understand the difference between that and withdrawing our military protection before our citizens, I think they're being intellectually disingenuous, but This was something the media really, they even kind of admitted Biden did a bad job, but then they pivoted really quickly and said actually it's Donald Trump's fault.
	What was that like being in your shoes?
	I mean, it was ridiculous.
	I mean, you can even see it in my ears, like, oh wow, they're losing the press.
	And they were desperately trying, but it was so bad, even they couldn't defend it.
	And, you know, you're right, there is a difference.
	I'm not going to sit here and say, oh, no, no, we should have stayed in Afghanistan for the next two millennia.
	No one thinks that, other than maybe the military-industrial complex and some of those DC people that are going to get the Raytheon board seat.
	John Bolton is going to be cryogenically frozen just so we can check in in 2000 years and make sure we're still in Afghanistan.
	But yes.
	Other than those people, no one thinks we should still be at war.
	But you know, I think Joe Biden and really it's a Democrat problem.
	They're so used to the media running cover for them, blaming anyone else, blaming everyone else.
	He didn't think that changing the plan that my father had worked on and negotiated would be a problem, right?
	I mean, he delayed the entire withdrawal till now.
	Now is the fighting season.
	That's when these, you know, animals come out of the caves after a long winter, and they're bored, so they're gonna go fight and kill stuff.
	I mean, you ask any guy that's boots on the ground, and they'll tell you this.
	Uh, you know, so many of my friends that were involved and were fighting over there, they're like, I mean, I can't even believe it.
	Now, our generals probably don't know that because they've been so busy pushing critical race theory and wanting to learn about white rage.
	Right.
	you know, that they didn't think that that would be a factor.
	But Joe Biden was so used to the press covering for him that he was like, hey, man,
	you know what, if I do this, I can delay till September 11th and I can get that incredible photo op, you know, like the
	Kamala Harris photo op a thousand miles away from the border.
	Like, right. As long as you're kind of sort of traveling to the you're on a border.
	It may not be the border.
	It may not be near the epicenter of where the problem is.
	But we check that box.
	We showed off and now we will allow the media to do their job as our marketing
	department. So when he was losing the media, even still, it was like, but think about it.
	You honestly think that Trump would have left, you know, 80 billion dollars worth of equipment.
	Do you honestly think that Trump, if he saw this coming, wouldn't have been droning, you know, the caravans of cars coming in to take it?
	You know, you think he would have maybe pulled out the civilians first?
	I mean, Joe Biden, what he really wanted is he wanted to make it his own.
	He wanted to get the credit for actually doing this.
	So he changed what was a negotiated plan.
	He eliminated all conditions so that he could get a photo op and take full credit for it
	because they're still used to getting credit for doing nothing as long as they're present
	because that's what's happened in our country, in our system.
	That it's asinine.
	I mean, to think that our military, we have generals that got on press conferences.
	We had no way, we had no way of knowing that this could have possibly happened.
	I'm like, I don't know, I'll scroll through Instagram, I'll see videos of some of these, you know, Afghan fighting forces that we, they can't do a jumping jack.
	You know what I'm talking about?
	I know exactly what you're talking about.
	They're on the elliptical with a rocket launcher going backwards.
	I was like, you couldn't see this coming?
	Like, I don't know, like, I could see it coming, and let's just say I know absolutely nothing about this, and I could see it coming.
	Or Blinken, did you hear Blinken's quote?
	We just played that earlier in the show where he said, uh, where, uh, we are concerned that they don't have any women.
	I'm like, well, who the fuck thought that was gonna happen, asshole?
	I did something for, you know, a video for Facebook on this last night, and it's like, Really?
	Like, really?
	Like, you had no idea?
	You're totally shocked that the Taliban didn't turn out to be the all-inclusive and gender-representing administration?
	It's like if you animated South Park and turned it into a real life movie, that is this administration.
	And that's what you get when you have an administration whose only focus has been diversity, meaning You know, it's wonderful that they have this incredibly diverse cabinet.
	Are they competent?
	I don't know.
	It doesn't seem like that was even a criteria.
	Like, if competence, intelligence, knowledge, experience is not a criteria, but like, you know, finding some sort of magical unicorn that checks off a lot of boxes, you know, that's what you get.
	And this is the result of it.
	It's not just Afghanistan.
	You know, it's the border.
	It's inflation.
	It's all of these things.
	And we're getting to the point where even today's insanely biased media can no longer cover for the clown show that is there.
	I mean, you have the Secretary of State on TV not just saying he's shocked, shocked that the Taliban was not as inclusive and diverse.
	I mean, I don't know.
	No, I think you do.
	It's not like they don't have 20 years of experience realizing that the Taliban could give a shit about diversity or inclusion, you know?
	But by the way, that will not stop the UN from putting the Taliban or their representatives on like a Human Rights Council because that's the batshit world in which we live today, Steven.
	You know it's coming.
	No, I absolutely do know that it's 100% coming.
	They're going to have a seat at the table at the UN.
	They'll probably even put them on some like the Council for Women's Rights.
	I mean, Iran, I think was on there and some of these other crazy regimes, like, because we live in a clown world.
	And you know, that's the it's like addiction.
	I think, you know, America's gonna have to hit rock bottom For them to realize it.
	I've said this for months now.
	Every day I wake up and be like, okay, we're at rock bottom.
	Man, we're not even close.
	Like, two weeks ago, I thought we were at rock bottom, and now I'm looking up.
	Rock bottom, and Blinken's like, did someone say auger?
	Yeah, well, I mean, look, if you're our ally, imagine you're an American ally, you know, who's making decisions, you know, under the assumption, the false assumption now, but what would have historically been a good assumption, that America will be there to have your back.
	I mean, we don't even have the backs of our own citizens.
	Yeah.
	We don't even have the backs of the people who helped us.
	Now, that doesn't prevent us from airlifting 100,000 unvetted Afghans, some of whom are on terrorist watch lists.
	Of course.
	Some of whom are convicted rapists.
	We take care of them before we do our own citizens, which is like the most Joe Biden slash really Democrat Party decision ever.
	It's like going back to the Obama-Biden days where it's like you saw him talking about it the other day because Four of the five people that they traded for a trader, Bo Bergdahl, that were in Guantanamo.
	We had five Taliban terrorists in Guantanamo Bay because they were bad guys.
	We traded those five people for a trader who deserted Americans, who had Americans go out and look for him, some of whom were killed.
	We traded to get this piece of shit back.
	We traded five Taliban terrorists, okay?
	And four of them are now sitting on the council!
	Yes, and you know what?
	By the way, let me, that reminds me to fact check myself.
	Yesterday, I said three for Bo Bergdahl.
	It was four.
	We forgot, you always forget that fourth.
	You think they'll use that to de-platform you even if you're helping there.
	Like it wasn't that bad.
	It was only three.
	Yeah, I said three when it was four.
	They'll still fact check you and ding you.
	So let's be clear that it's four piece of shit terrorists for one piece of shit traitor.
	Like that's like the most Obama Biden deal ever.
	I know and they tried to and I will come in here.
	That's like the Democrat Party platform like summed up in one sentence.
	These clowns are now running the Taliban and we're saying, you know, and over the last few weeks, I'm watching the
	Secretary of State.
	I'm watching the generals.
	Well, we are going to have to ask permission of the Taliban to see if maybe we can get our citizens who we abandoned after leaving the dogs, after leaving military equipment.
	And not just military equipment, there's also like a couple M4s.
	I mean, they have freaking Apaches!
	Yeah.
	I know.
	Blackhawks.
	They're selling them to the Chinese who are reverse engineering them and within about two weeks they will have a helicopter that will destroy the Apache after we spent billions in R&D and years developing it.
	The Chinese now will have that.
	They will reverse engineer it to create a better piece of equipment for two cents on the dollar after we spent trillions in development.
	That's how the world works.
	The Chinese are now talking about taking over Bagram Air Force Base that we sunk billions in.
	That would have been a nice place to maybe have a presence essentially on the border of China, but our genius military really focused on white rage and critical race theory and teaching us that diversity will somehow make us a stronger fighting force.
	No one who actually fights understands even remotely how that is possible, but our generals do and they have told us it Uh, distinctly, if you question that, you will be thrown out of the military.
	We've seen that.
	Yeah.
	Now, if you're a, you know, a lunatic, uh, preaching the leftist BS that they're talking about on a daily basis, you will likely be promoted.
	Uh, you know, see them, you see the conservative purge in the military.
	I saw it, I have friends in the SEAL teams, like, literally operators, like, doing, they, they have told me verbatim, they spend more time in diversity training than they do shooting.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	SEAL teams.
	Okay, so imagine what they're doing with like, you know, less elite, you know, forms.
	Imagine who's taking this over when the military is paying for your transgender surgery and
	highlighting it, right?
	You've seen the highlight reels like men's people's videos.
	The I am I am.
	I have incredible anxiety.
	I can barely function in the real world.
	I have no idea what's going on around me, but the CIA was incredibly welcoming, and I am your first line of defense.
	I'm saying, holy shit!
	I mean, remember this?
	You know what I'm talking about, right?
	I know exactly what you're talking about, yes.
	This guy, he's a wonderful person, I'm sure.
	He is probably not capable of going to the supermarket without being in fear.
	He is leading, like, our charges in the intelligence community against, like, China and Russia.
	You think, like, they're looking at that and being like, oh wow, we got a problem here, you think?
	Sweet.
	Like, if you're China, Your plans, which were inevitable, probably, but your plan to take over Taiwan just accelerated.
	Whatever it used to be, it's like 1% of that.
	Yeah, no.
	Within weeks, probably.
	I agree.
	Because they know America's got no balls.
	Well, hold on a second.
	I want to continue that.
	We're going to go here to Mug Club where we can, you know, really let it rip, I guess.
	But no, I agree with you.
	I think they want the military— Am I holding back, Steven?
	No, no, no, it's perfect.
	I just don't want to be accused of being low-energy.
	Yeah, no, it's just with, if we talk about COVID at all, I guarantee you will be removed.
	So I want to avoid that one.
	That's just, that's no longer a minefield.
	It's one big mine with no more fields left.
	Uh, I will say this.
	Yeah.
	They want, they want us to turn the military into, we have great members in the military.
	Like you've talked about, there's different people on the ground and people at desk.
	They want to turn them from, uh, uh, what was it?
	Missing in action to, to that shitty little planeteer with the power of hearts.
	And that's not how it works in the real world.
	We're going to continue with Donald Trump Jr.
	Uh, at Mug Club.
	People join up.
	Crowder, come back.
	You get $20 off YouTube.
