Time Text
It's bad, oh, it's bad, it is, it's bad, oh, it's bad, it is, it's bad.
And now for the adventures of the White Privilege Boy.
And now for the adventures of the White Privilege Boy.
Did you see the look on Mr. MacArthur's face?
Yeah, he didn't know what hit him!
Yeah, it was awesome.
Oh, darn it!
There's Officer Jenkins!
Oh no, what do we do?
I know!
Let's run into that alleyway!
Oh, shoot!
It's a dead end!
Oh, go darn it!
Now, boys, have you three been up to no good?
I don't know what you're talking about, Officer Jenkins!
Well, I've been getting some phone calls.
Does Mr. MacArthur ring a bell?
All right, guys, run!
I got this!
I still have my BB gun!
Oh, Timmy, I'm disappointed.
You know you're not supposed to aim a loaded firearm at an officer.
Yeah?
What are you gonna do about it, Officer Jenkins?
I tell you what I'm going to do to you, Timmy.
First, you're going to put the loaded firearm down.
I'm going to have to call your mother.
But first, we'll go grab an ice cream cone and talk about it.
What do you say?
Okay.
Can I ride in the front of the paddy wagon?
Oh, Timmy.
Usually that's not allowed, but since you're white... Oh, those boys!
What pickle will they find themselves in next?
Stay tuned for next week's installment of Adventures of the White Privilege Boys

Mmmmm, that is a delicious sip.
Not really.
Not all that delicious, honestly.
It tastes like tepid sewer water.
But glad to be with you, because I didn't get to do the sip yesterday, because we had the fireplace that wasn't going, and it was a quagmire.
Look, we have a lot to get to today.
Yeah, everyone's talking about Twitter, everyone's talking about Elon Musk.
We'll talk about Twitter and the Project Veritas, the recent leak, which is hysterical.
By the way, if you're an Indian-American tech engineer and a super hot girl is asking you out on a date, alarm bells.
And asks you questions repeatedly.
And asks you questions repeatedly.
About communism at Twitter.
Especially when she asks for your tax return.
Just that's when you should go, wait, maybe something's happening here!
So, we'll talk about that.
But we also wanted to, we're doing a multi-episode arc here because whenever these tragedies happen, of course what happened in, I mean, which one do we want to pick?
Buffalo, but also Orange County.
Milwaukee.
Unfortunately, people complain about it getting politicized, and the irony is not lost on me that we are addressing the politicization.
Unfortunately, we live in a time and place in this country where you just can't remain silent.
I wish we didn't have to do this, but we do.
And some of this is remedial, but the gun control lies are coming out, as we predicted yesterday.
There would be no doubt.
The left is incredibly predictable.
That's why all of our references are available at ladderwithcrowder.com.
We try to arm you so that you can be prepared with information.
And there are some very common gun control myths that have been rearing their ugly head.
Is it rearing or rearing?
Rearing.
I thought it was rearing.
But I used to think it was chomping at the bit until my friend who was... Champing.
It's champing.
Why is a horse champing at the bit?
It's champing at the bit, but nobody cares.
Yeah, no, it's chomping at the bit.
They both should work.
Yeah, you say chomping, I do too.
Plus, horse girls are crazy, so that's what they say.
If you have a horse, I don't need you.
No, exactly.
Wait, what?
Your dad bought you a pony?
Oooh.
Yeah, that means you're the worst person.
Yes.
Yes, exactly.
You ever had to hang out with horse girls?
All they want to talk about is horses, and they can't fathom a world in which you do not own $50,000 animals.
Yeah.
They brush their steed all day.
Yes.
That's all they do.
Yep.
Yep.
Just see this thing?
I brush it and ride it.
Not to mention that Matt Damon film sucked.
Yes, it did.
Which one?
All of them?
Well, yes, but was it All the Pretty Horses?
Or The Horse Whisperer?
Whichever one where he's the one petting the horse.
I think it's Pretty Horses.
Yeah, I just hope that someday he walks behind one and doesn't put his hand out like that.
I saw an illegal film of the same name.
Yes.
Oh.
All the Sticky Horses.
Yes, well this was... No, he was on a mission strip.
Yes, it was about glue.
So, uh... Poor Elmer.
We want you to be able to combat disinformation out there.
And these are not new arguments, unfortunately, from the left, because they have no valid arguments.
Actually, their island is shrinking as it relates to gun control.
But they just become more vehement, and that's what you are seeing.
When your arguments aren't strong, you just have to shout them more forcefully.
We're seeing that from the left.
Everything from high-capacity magazines to once upon a time it was tipper gore and video games, and now it's social media.
There's nothing new under the sun.
We'll be talking about that if we get removed because it's one of those sensitive topics.
Look, unless we tell you that we are not doing a show here on YouTube, Monday through Thursday, 10 a.m.
Eastern, we are streaming live, so we're at Rumble or Mug Club, right?
Where you get an extra 45 minutes.
Today we go down the Reddit rabbit hole about a transgender sleepover, which we could never tell on YouTube.
Not a chance.
It is hysterical and disturbing.
Why?
Because it's abnormal.
The Sleepover.
Slumber Party Massacre Genitals.
Yes.
Slumber Party Devil Mastectomy.
Calvin Klein Ad.
It's just a Bluto Blutarski with a scalpel.
Yeah.
Penis fight.
Alright, before we get to all that and more, Gerald A. is here.
How are you, sir?
I am well.
Did you stumble on my name?
I was about to say Gerald B. Wishful thinking.
I just got so used to the thing that I killed live on air.
I'm well.
How are you, sir?
I'm doing okay.
I hurt my neck again.
I don't know that I care now that you have a pony.
I know, I don't care.
Just like we don't care about girls with horses, so it's okay.
And then he's my Dave!
Whoa, whoa, whoa!
You can follow him on Twitter, at LandauDave.
Him and I are on tour.
You can go to livewithcowder.com slash tour.
There are still tickets left for the early show we added June 18th, Colorado Springs, Father's Day weekend.
Some people call him Daddy, Dave Landau.
Ahoy!
How are you?
And that Davey is a fine...
That David is a fine... I was trying to train Joe Louis to bark on command.
He's a lady!
I don't know why I thought... Very much a dad joke?
I think that's better than a dad joke.
That is a Vegas showroom.
That'll get you an act.
At the Golden Nugget.
Hopefully he doesn't attack me like Siegfried.
I was trying to help him.
So I ate his face.
We have to talk about that.
We'll also be talking about the new White House press secretary.
It's a miracle.
She's worse than Jen Psaki.
And before that, this backyard hero, and we want to start it off a little light, went hard in this next clip, but then we have to guess, I haven't watched it, what happens next.
I love this dude.
Okay, so I'm supposed to guess what happens next?
What happens next?
Does a dog knock him off the table?
I hope so.
Okay.
Does he front flip and shatter the folding table?
Okay.
Or does his mom come outside and yell at him to get a job?
Oh, by the way, I should ask you guys, before we do this, comment below my question.
I want to ask you, what do you think you're going to miss most about former Press Secretary Jen Psaki?
Look, no one is without redeeming value.
That's true.
So really, I know you're going to try hard, but try.
I'm going to say Well, the obvious one is he front flips and shatters a folding table.
What do you say to that?
I think so too.
I'm going to say his mom comes out and yells at him to get a job.
Yeah.
I'm a fan, so I don't want to... Oh, you know what happens?
Oh, I know this guy.
He's fantastic.
Okay.
I love how he's like, don't try this at home!
Well, where are you?
He's a juggalo.
He's a huge Insane Clown Posse fan, and he goes whoop whoop and does stunts.
All right.
I'm going to say a dog knocks him off the table.
Let's go see what happens F this ass
Yeah!
AHHHHH!
I'm f***ing done!
It's every video.
He has so many of these.
He's going for another one?!
He's the best!
I love how he's going for a lower one.
Usually the rule of entertainment, there's escalation.
And so he's like, now I'm gonna do, now I'm gonna take a break.
I'm gonna do a little bit smaller one.
Alright, so we have to guess what happens next, Okinawa.
Yeah, what happens next?
Does he jump onto the printer and break his arm?
Oh god.
At the table he's standing on cracks and he falls.
Or does he take his pants off?
Well, Dave already knows.
What do you say, Gerald?
I'm saying pants off.
Pants off with your pants off, baby!
I really hope that he... Don't do that again.
I really hope that he does not break his arm, but I'm willing to bet the way this is going that that's what happened.
His catchphrase is F this S F. He goes woof woof.
It's every video.
It's the best.
It's like Super Dave, but he's really getting hurt.
Mr. Fuji is just his autistic interpreter.
Alright, let's see what happens next.
Woop! Woop!
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Oh my god!
I'm f***ing over!
I'm f***ing broke my arm now!
AHHHHHHHHH!
AHHHHHHHHH!
Did he actually break his arm?
Who is he mad at?
Nobody!
Just be upset with your own decisions.
He's just a juggalo who does these stunts.
Shouldn't someone be looking out for him?
Juggalo?
What is that, Dave?
That's an insane clown posse fan.
You've never heard of a juggalo?
No.
It's like a dead head for the Grateful Dead or a parrot head for Jimmy Buffett.
Are they all like this?
Pretty much.
I mean, a large portion.
It's a spectrum of juggalos.
There's different ones.
Some are cool.
Oh, there's more to it?
I mean, this guy's awesome.
Oh no, there's tons of videos of if you ever want to just watch a guy jump onto a table of broken glass.
Why would you do that?
Because it's hilarious!
This is a cry for help!
No, it's not!
Well, look.
The cry for help's after he breaks his arm on a printer.
That's really more of a call for help.
I honestly felt bad for him at first when I saw this like a couple years ago.
Now that this is this is a fresh one but he's been doing this a long time but then you realize no he really is just this guy.
Oh, okay, wow, that makes it better.
Yeah, it makes it hilarious.
Well, look, because we're going to be talking about mass shootings, that was a bit of a palate cleanser.
Yeah, and he's getting sponsored by, like, Hewlett-Packard.
Is he really?
Break our printers?
Oh, the guy makes bank off of toner.
He goes to the ER, they're like, oh, you again.
Mr. Inkjet.
Are you the guy whose insurance dropped you eight times?
I wonder how that happened.
You're deductible as IQ points.
Okay, speaking of IQ points, so now we have a new press secretary.
And I gotta tell ya, I am a Karen Jean-Pierre fan.
Is it Kareen, Karen?
We're gonna call her Karen.
Kareen.
So, Karen Jean-Pierre made her debut yesterday, and it was every bit as... Here's the thing.
I always said this about Jen.
I didn't like Jen Psaki, but she was good at lying.
Yes, very.
She was very effective.
Very good at being soulless.
Very good at saying circle back.
Yes.
Circle back.
This one, Jean-Pierre.
Yes.
Not so much.
A lot of boxes there were checked.
Yes.
I am obviously acutely aware that my presence at this podium represents a few firsts.
I am a black, gay, immigrant woman, the first of all three of those to hold this position.
I would not be here today if it were not for generations of barrier-breaking people before me.
I stand on their shoulders.
If it were not for generations of barrier-breaking people before me, I would not be here.
But I benefit from their sacrifices.
I have learned from their excellence, and I am forever grateful to them.
Representation does matter.
You hear us say this often in this administration, and no one understands this better than President Biden.
Yeah, no one understands diversity better than former Vice President Joe Biden.
The oldest white guy to have ever achieved office.
If she were to go and say, I'm a gay, black immigrant, you'd be like, huh?
This is America.
Don't forget immigrants.
Yes, don't forget immigrants.
It's good to see Corbyn Blue's getting work.
Don't worry about those gas prices.
She's black and gay.
But by inflation.
There you go.
Hey, speaking of inflation.
She had some wise words, and by that I mean not on that topic too.
But how does raising taxes on corporations lower the cost of gas, the cost of a used car, the cost of food for every day?
That's a good question.
So look, I think we encourage those who have done very well, right, especially those who care about climate change, to support a fair tax code that doesn't change, that doesn't charge manufacturers, workers, cops, Builders, a higher percentage of their earnings, that the most fortunate people in our nation, and not let that stand in the way of reducing energy costs and fighting this existential problem, if you think about that as an example.
It's a support for basic collective bargaining rights as well, right?
That's also important.
But look, it is, you know, by not, without having a fairer tax code, which is what I'm talking about, then all, Okay, so let me first examine that non-answer.
This is when you're a classist as she is.
And whether she believes it or not, this is what they have to sell to the American people because they actually have sold out the American middle class.
It's like a racist where every answer is, 60.6% of households paid no income tax.
the Jews. Every single answer is, it's rich people. We need to take their money. Yeah,
but how does that help people who don't have a lot of money and everything is costing?
We're going to take other people's money. It's the answer to everything. Here's why
it doesn't work. Take into account that in 2020, when you take account for federal transfers,
which means, you know, sort of like social safety nets, welfare programs, 60.6% of households
paid no income tax. Wow. Now the top 25% of earners already pay 87% of all income taxes.
The bottom 50% they pay only 3%.
Just to be clear.
Wow.
To be fair, though, filling the stilettos of Jen Psaki was never going to be an easy job.
No, it was not going to be an easy job, but not a good task.
Especially when she was triple white.
That's true.
Thank God she checks all the other boxes.
Also, by the way, economists have even verified that Donald Trump's tax cuts benefited the middle class more than anybody.
It didn't benefit the ultra-wealthy.
Here's the thing.
The middle class are the people who end up footing the bill.
I understand what you're talking about, that ultra-wealthy billionaires, they put their money offshore a lot of the time and they don't pay a ton in taxes.
We want to sort of pivot that to capital gains.
That also will affect the middle class, if you're talking about people who are retiring.
Do you really want to have to pay capital gains on money that you've already paid taxes on?
So, they offer these solutions that aren't solutions.
They just want you to be greedy.
They say that it's greedy for people to want to keep their money, but it's not greedy for you to want to take their money, regardless of how it was earned.
Keep in mind, on the answer of inflation, only the government can create inflation.
Think about this for a second.
Computers, are they more expensive or less expensive?
Smartphones, now you can get them for free.
Generally speaking, consumer goods become more affordable as businesses become more efficient and the demand increases.
It's in the business's best interest to make goods or services more affordable to more people.
You can't print money.
You can't create government programs.
You can't tax businesses to raise the cost of goods and services.
Only the government can do that.
Only the government can create and exacerbate inflation.
And her answer is take more money from rich people.
My money printer's getting pretty good.
Well, because that guy jumped on it on a table.
Yeah, he's not going to be able to afford any more printers to buy to jump on.
How's he going to get the tables?
One, it was an incoherent answer.
She rambled on.
And two, he asked, how is raising taxes going to fight inflation?
Which it won't.
Well, she didn't say it would.
No, she said... That's true.
She didn't read that it would.
She didn't answer the question at all, and she didn't answer any questions, I think, at all.
No, she didn't answer any questions.
Well, that's her job, though.
No, her job is to spin.
Her job is to... You know what you say?
You say, look, I understand that inflation is high right now, but by doing X, we get Y. Right.
And you put your talking points in, and what she did was ramble on about cops and saying how it's not fair and how people do this and that, and it was incoherent, and she stumbled over every other word doing it.
Yeah.
Spin shitty.
That's not good.
Now maybe it's her first day and she's got jitters because her only qualifications were what she listed off the top.
I have no idea.
But she didn't do a good job of answering a question.
She did do a good job though after that of swiffering the podium.
Oh jeez.
Oh boy.
The note of Jen Psaki.
Look, we always have to honor people who we see as worthy rivals.
And so Jen Psaki, we will miss her.
And it's time to we've done this for every single candidate and every major political figure.
Jen Psaki, thank you for your service.
It's time to close.
I did ask our team about this.
You or someone else may have asked about this the other day.
And I think I have something on it here.
One moment.
Lots to say about COVID.
No doubt about it.
So... Thanks for your patience.
Thanks for your patience.
Let's see.
I think I have something on it here.
I think I have something on it here.
One moment.
One moment.
Let me, let me, let me, um.
So let's see.
Let me, let me, let me, um, talk to our team about it.
I'm going to miss that solace monster.
Yes.
I just realized the interpretation of, uh, um, is far longer than the word.
It's just an aggravated face, really.
Well, it's her and she was like... That was awesome.
Honestly, she looked best.
It was great.
She's cute, too!
Yeah.
It's very rare that you find a cute signer.
No, especially, yeah, especially these days.
Especially these days.
Usually they have hands that could crack a crab.
Yeah, they really just open a coconut, break it in half with their bare hands.
So, uh, speaking of cute...
This coming Sunday.
And this is why, look, you need to protect your children.
Okay, parents?
You need to protect your kids.
If you put your kids in public school at this point, it's tantamount to child abuse.
But also, a lot of parents think the schools will raise their kids.
The school will raise your kids.
The church will do your job.
You cannot even rely on the church.
Well, I say even on the church.
You should never rely on the church.
You should never rely on the school.
You need to do your job as a parent, because now the first ever Youth Pride Conference is going to take place at Naples United Church of Christ in Florida, where they're going to have drag shows.
So here you see it.
The event is intended for LGBTQ youth.
Seeking to explore LGBTQ-related issues, such as forbidden queer literature, as you see that there, inclusive sex education for four-year-olds, and then political action and advocacy, because, well, there's your superdelegate.
They also offer a seminar on how to navigate the challenges of becoming a pillar of salt.
Yes.
Sure.
Right.
You might be asking yourself, how many flamethrowers should I bring?
Yeah.
It's a struggle.
Mine was internal, though.
I meant juggling.
Juggling flamethrowers?
We're in the juggling mood.
And look, come on, look, this is one of those things that I know it's easy for me to sit on my high horse that's champing and try and act like we didn't have some of this when we grew up.
We all remember these kinds of sermons and drag shows when we used to go to church.
Yeah, of course.
And so the Lord bestows upon us, all of us, So the thing is, we think that times have changed, but times haven't changed.
Times haven't changed as much as we think.
No.
Max Butterbutts! Max! Come on out here!
Max Butterbutts! For Jesus!
So the thing is we think that times have changed, but times haven't changed. Times haven't changed as much as we think.
No, Max was found dead I believe in a hotel three weeks ago.
Yeah, I know, but that, we didn't want to bring people down right away.
Oh, sorry.
No, we wanted to show the performance.
He's an adult now.
Yeah, I don't know about this, but I hope that this church loses its tax-exempt status.
Yeah, he's grown up.
He hasn't had sex in years.
I don't think there should be a write-off for seven-year-old titty tassels, Reverend.
How can you possibly?
Reverend Alaskan Thunder... I mean, it's just, like, honestly, this is just permeating everywhere, and this is a big...
This is the thing, okay?
It's very easy to be mad at people who are acting exactly as you would expect them to, those on the left.
But you need to hold your own accountable.
If this is happening in your church, and there are just not enough people, to simply ask, what?
You need to find a new church!
Oh god, I still hurt some surgery.
It's still the worst thing.
What's this?
I don't like this.
That's a little weird.
I don't... I don't... Oh, sounds like someone's having allergy problems!
Well, I have another problem now.
Who are you?
I'm Auntie Pollen!
I appear when men in their mid-thirties begin yelling and cursing when they sneeze!
Dude, I've met this lady.
She's pretty cool.
She's got, like, this spray that makes your chews disappear.
It's so good to see you again, Dave!
I hope that cute little nose of yours is still allergy-free!
Shut up, you two-timing whore!
Well, I don't... This... Yeah, I don't know what's... Let's keep this for after the show.
What's this magical spray you have?
It's called Clear!
Oh.
This is clear?
What do I put it?
Put it in your nose.
There you go.
You know, I was skeptical.
I was skeptical because this is deeply disturbing, but this actually, this works really, my nose
isn't ticklish at all anymore.
I can breathe.
What's this called again?
Fentanyl!
Really?
That's not funny guys, I can die.
Guys, people are dying from fentanyl.
It's not a joke.
I'm kidding.
It's called clear.
Clear, spelled with an X?
Yes, because it's made with xylitol.
Clear will moisturize your nasal passages, even on your worst allergy day.
Well, thank you.
Thank you for showing me the clear way, Auntie Pollen.
This is the way.
Well, thank you, everyone.
I must run.
Oh, do you validate a party?
Not for transgender wings, no.
No, we don't.
Yeah, no.
You can leave.
leave bye okay she's not transgender oh I don't know I was just an idiot woman I
was fooled by the beard thanks mr. Barnum go wash your nose By the way, these people became a sponsor to the show after I talked about how I've been using them for a long time during the COVID.
You know, they actually have studies that you can go read on their website at clearwithanx.com.
Read up the studies and what it does for your nasal.
You think about it, you brush your teeth, you wash your face.
You have any idea what you're breathing in?
Especially in this studio?
So, it's got some xylitol in it and it works.
It creates like an antimicrobial film.
Anyway, so you can go buy it at Amazon, most pharmacies.
Clear.
Wonderful sponsor.
Works really well.
I just use it before I get in the shower.
I mean, my housekeeper's not a big fan of it, but... She just hasn't tried it yet.
I like it.
I like it.
Let's move on to this.
Now we're going to talk about gun control and what's happened in the wake of the shooting, and a big censorship push.
Hey, I would appreciate it right now, if you guys are watching, share.
Just hit the share button.
Now YouTube decides that sharing is awesome.
Someone have a Kleenex?
I'm going to need Kleenex.
I actually sprayed too much of that in my nose.
That was a pretty good toss.
I mean, come on.
Oh, there you go.
See, that's what happens.
You put that stuff in your nose and it clears out your sinus.
No, it really doesn't.
You just blow it out.
Listen.
Hold on, guys.
Listen.
That's clear.
It clears out your sinus?
It really works.
Unintended, sorry.
Your sinus?
Nasal?
So, um, this is of course expected in the wake of the Buffalo shooting.
And, uh, they're, they're, they're pouring on not only a hefty dose of gun control, of course, but now they want to sort of mix it up with some white supremacy.
And I'm going to go through the most common claims, or the claims that you're hearing in the media, and then give you the truth.
But before you hear this, I'd like you to comment below and tell me the, uh, The most common gun control claims that you hear made.
For example, especially if you're a student, or if you're in a workplace that's particularly liberal, like a non-profit, or whatever it was, Church of Christ?
Whatever it was.
What was it?
Some church.
Naples Church something.
I don't know.
Church of Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Yes.
Oh boy.
LDT for short.
Yes.
It's a joke, LDS people, okay?
It's not, we're not actually, we don't think that that's your church.
We know you'd never allow someone that creepy in.
Oh, yeah.
Right.
Yeah.
I don't think it's you guys.
No, of course we don't think it's you guys for crying out loud.
I think you're the last people to... Right.
Really.
Yeah.
It's just Jehovah's non-testifying witnesses.
No, just a taint joke, really.
Oh.
So... You're welcome, Charles.
Thank you, Dave.
You can go to church twice this week.
I will have to.
Gosh, can you imagine showing up in confessional and that's what's looking through the little spotted door?
Oh, Lord!
Oh my gosh, you first.
How about some hot gossip?
Yeah.
Let's talk about the Kardashians.
I don't want to.
No, I need to confess my sins.
Me too.
Why is there a hole here?
It's confessional.
That's what we do.
Why is there a disco ball?
Just to make you comfortable.
Are you comfortable?
No.
Why is this vibrating?
All right.
So, uh, the wake of the Buffalo shooting, this is in its horrible tragedy, of course, it's been condemned, but there have been other shootings that have taken place that the media really hasn't talked about.
By the way, called it with Orange County.
A little bit.
Chinese national hates the Taiwanese.
Chinese guy hates the Taiwanese.
Who could have seen that coming?
Who could have seen that coming?
And specifically targeting a Taiwan church.
I think John Cena is responsible.
He is.
So let's, before the bodies have assumed room temperature, you got the gun control rhetoric with white supremacy sprinkled in.
Here you go.
This can occur anywhere.
It's not just Buffalo.
It's how to make people all across this country feel safe.
It's not just African Americans.
It's how to make people in urban America, suburban America, and rural America feel safe.
The only way to do it is to really get to the point of sensible gun control in this country, to end hate speech on the internet and social media, to stop the proliferation of hateful ideology.
Those are the ways that we make black people feel safe in Buffalo, that we make people feel safe all across this country.
Pivoted from gun control to social media, happiness is a warm tweet.
Now, it would be really important to mention here, before we get to anything else, and we have a lot of claims that we need to address, if you only remember one, this is the most recent year for FBI crime reporting, and by the way, the FBI is not even necessarily reliable, so whatever you're seeing, you can take it with a grain of salt, meaning it's probably worse.
There were 13,600 gun murders, gun homicides total.
There were 1.67 million defensive uses of firearms.
So that's a difference of 1.5 something million.
I didn't round the one.
So just keep in mind, whenever someone says, if it saves one life, well, they're willing to take at least a million lives In a good year, to be clear.
Is that just America?
That's just the United States.
Just the United States.
Wow.
Yeah, 1.67 defensive uses.
And people think that the homicide is a lot higher than it is.
It's 13,000 gun homicides.
Yeah.
That's really not nearly as high as people think.
No, and we would love for that number to be lower, but just look at the 1.67 million.
Yeah.
You're telling those people that they no longer have a right to do that.
that number for a second because there have been other estimates higher than between two and three
million so this is the FBI claiming that and it's very hard to measure defensive uses of firearms
because often the gun is never even fired. You were about yeah oh no I was gonna tell you like
also with the white supremacy thing Gerald saw this article too it said can you believe a day
after the Buffalo shooting white people were entertained by black people by watching basketball
this was an actual article This was an article.
Actual article that came out.
This is white supremacy is what they said.
This is what white supremacy looks like.
People watching other people play a game because white people are watching black people.
Well I guess what, do NBA players, if they're so against white supremacy, would they want to be unemployed?
They do, I think.
That would be better than being on the plantation like Colin Kaepernick said about the NFL.
Yeah, slavery.
The same thing for the NBA.
Well and the whole idea of that, they're contractually obligated.
I think there's probably one or two white guys left in basketball.
I think there's an Asian, he's real tall.
Yeah, and but also like think about the the money that creates for people who work for companies that sponsor it
Even the vendors that work there the people that have to clean the bathrooms the people that take care of parking
There's all kind of kinds of things that have to keep the world turning
Yeah It's completely unfair to just all of a sudden stop that
take away those jobs from all those people and then blame it on white
Supremacy just so you can just completely gaslight the rest of the country
It also doesn't make any sense to just unemploy a bunch of black people, that's where, probably the area where they have the highest median income on earth.
Exactly, it makes no sense.
By the way, little known fact, Larry Bird was in fact kidnapped on the Mediterranean coast and he was victim to the North African slave trade.
That's why he's so good.
Now, let's get to some of their claims here.
Here's a claim that they make.
Okay?
That more gun control would have prevented this shooting.
This is one of the claims that they're making right now.
So MSNBC, the political commentator and former Obama undersecretary of state, Richard Stengel.
Stengel?
Stangel?
I always forget the name.
Stengel.
He was under Obama as the Secretary of State.
Okay.
Tweeted this.
The flaw in the system is Now, that's the claim.
Here's the truth.
But what's legal?
That an 18-year-old, any 18-year-old can legally buy a military-style assault weapon.
Hashtag gun control now.
Now that's the claim.
Here's the truth.
That is a lie.
So New York already has very strict gun control.
Let me rattle these off for you so you understand.
According to Giffords Law, which by the way, not a conservative source, reference is available at lotofcutter.com.
It's the Giffords Law Center for New York is what it is.
They have different states.
New York has the sixth strongest gun laws in the country.
Hmm.
Okay?
Sixth strongest gun laws in the country.
Let me hit you with another truth here that you probably should know.
The shooter's gun was already illegal in New York.
He modified a Bushmaster XM-15ES illegally, which is very easy for anybody to do, which makes it an assault weapon according to New York law.
So, it's already illegal, it's already impossible to get.
He bought a firearm and he modified it in a place that has some of the strictest gun laws in the country.
Also, here's a really important truth that I think you need to know.
We've talked about this in the past, that over 90, depending on the estimate, anywhere from 90 to 97%, let's call it an even 90% of mass shootings occur where gun-free zones.
Now, that's the empirical.
The anecdotal is this shooter specifically chose this location because...
I don't understand why they go directly to nobody should have this military-style assault weapon.
We've talked about this before several times.
armed civilian was limited to a 10-round magazine or cucked firearms. Which brings us to another
clip. Were you about to say something? I was just about to say I don't understand why they they go
directly to nobody should have this military style assault weapon. We've talked about this before
several times. Nobody can define that term. Nobody. Well it's not a real term.
No, that's what I'm saying.
It's like hate speech.
It's like, okay, we'll define it.
Nobody can define it, and so you're trying to say that nobody should have the right to buy any firearm that we don't like.
Well, here's what they try and do.
Or that's effective.
Here's what they do.
Assault rifle is a term.
Assault rifle is a military term that usually refers to a rifle with burst fire mode.
Right, a selector switch.
Now, I'm just kind of giving you a layman term here.
There's more to it than that, but assault rifle is an actual term that's defined, and it's actually used as a descriptor in the military.
Assault weapon is something they expanded upon to trick you to go, oh, we're talking about folio.
No, we're not.
No.
No, we're not.
By the way, I'm carrying an assault weapon.
And there are many assault weapons in the studio, just so you know, at any given moment.
You can assault anybody with almost anything.
But I mean, in New York, this gun, this handgun, this Walther, is an assault weapon.
Yeah.
This would be illegal in New York.
It's a very, very common gun.
It's just a little more badass because it's customized.
Now this brings us to the next claim, of course, that they will make.
There's a dragon on it.
Fits like Nicolas Cage in a face-off.
I said, can you do that for me?
I want the castor troy.
Now, they'll say it's the magazine.
We need to ban high-capacity assault weapon magazines.
And this is what they try and do.
They try and make it look like rifles with these high-capacity magazines are responsible for most shootings.
Here's a quote from Democrat and Chronicle.
It says, large magazines, or those containing more than 10 rounds, played a role in at least 86 mass shootings since 1980.
Well, why did they pick 1980?
Why did they pick that number?
Well, let me hit you with a truth.
Handguns are actually responsible for the vast majority of shooting deaths.
I know what some of you are going to say.
Liberals are watching this going, well, we need to ban handguns.
Most reasonable Americans are saying, well, we can't just ban all handguns.
So I know that I'm giving ammo to those who want to ban all guns, like the Beto O'Rourke.
I don't think most Americans want this to be illegal.
So, in 2020, the United States, handguns accounted for 59% of all murders.
Long-barreled weapons, so meaning like rifles, shotguns, depending on which one you're talking about, 3% of all murders.
So I know what you're doing, you're doing the math going, well, hold on a second, is that 62%?
Well, that's because all murders, not just gun homicides.
But of all murders, only 3% are committed using long guns like rifles.
And out of 400 million guns in the United States, only 20 million are assault weapons, and that's also a stat I just look grain of salt because it's not really easily defined.
I'm just using the stats that are available to us.
I'm just letting you know that that stat is kind of bullshit.
It's the best one I could come up with.
Yeah, fair.
It's the best terrible stat that we could find.
Yes.
In fact, this is one of those things that people talk about, 10 round magazines.
Now, for example, when my brother lived in California, he was limited to certain magazines.
Look, let me show you guys something, okay?
Here, so I'll take this out, just so everyone check this beforehand so you can see.
Right, Alec Baldwin, just so you guys are clear.
Where's the least liked person in the studio?
So again, just showing you guys so everyone can see here.
Make sure, Tim, that they see this is unloaded.
So this is, in fact, this is a 17-round magazine.
Okay, that's true.
Just a standard handgun.
It's not really all that big or scary.
But let's say it's 10 rounds.
Okay?
Click, click, click, click, click, click, click.
I didn't count 10, but let's imagine I count 10.
Click, click, click, click, bang.
Now it's 20 rounds.
That fast!
That fast!
It's a good reload.
It's pretty easy.
It doesn't make any sense.
Like, their argument is not... He just wanted to brag.
He has some skills there.
He does.
The argument is that, okay, if we just limit the number of... I broke this magazine, by the way, when I was fooling around with it earlier.
Walther, I need you to send me another one.
Go ahead, John.
Throw it in the trash outside of an elementary school.
Where will I have room for my crack pipe?
That's true.
No, I mean, this is the same argument that we get frustrated about every single time, right?
You've got to blame something other than evil people.
Right.
You've got to point to something, and they're pointing to magazine capacity right now.
Right, they're pointing to magazine capacity.
Which just proved is like, okay, fine, you want a split second difference?
Yeah.
Well, and here's the thing, too.
And I understand that it'll be hard to do a reload under stress, which is why it's important.
Here's the thing.
It's more important for the average civilian, the average homeowner, to have a higher capacity magazine than it is for someone who's a mass shooter or someone who's experienced.
Because somebody who isn't used to being under stress is probably going to have a tougher time with the reload than someone who is a serial home invader.
Which brings us to another claim right here that they're about to make.
And they say that nobody needs An assault weapon, and this is not even a new one, but here you go.
Now, I know this has been a hobby horse of mine for a long time.
Got it done once.
We should also ban assault weapons and high-capacity magazines in this country.
For that 10 years we had it done, the number of mass shootings actually went down.
And they still went down after.
Yeah.
Even law enforcement officials.
Have told me and told other champions of this legislation, they sometimes feel outgunned by assault weapons with large capacity magazines.
Let's come back to that.
There's no reason someone needs a weapon of war with 100 rounds, 100 bullets that can be fired That's science, don't worry.
Yeah, it's okay.
It doesn't make it doesn't make sense. You're like, how is this a visual of bullets?
He was picturing a 12 year olds ass and no one needs that kind of a magazine. No one needs those kinds of weapons
We'll tell that to the people of Shanghai That's science don't worry yeah, it's okay. Yeah. Yeah, it's
just doctors beating the shit out of you. Yeah It's the director's cut of the final scene from ET
Oh, here you go.
Here's Yanni.
This poor girl.
I wish she had a gun!
Are you saying that you wish she shot him?
Correct.
Just like I wish that every single woman who's being forcibly raped could shoot their attacker.
Because I want to read those headlines, not defenseless victim left in a ditch.
And the only thing that makes a woman stronger than a man is a gun.
Keep in mind, the left also celebrated Ukrainian citizens taking up arms to defend their country, right?
We also sent something $40 or $900 billion.
I don't know what the number is.
It's a rounding error at this point.
But this is something else.
Biden is so incapable.
You know, I always say the references are available at lightofthecarder.com.
I don't read conservative sources.
If you look at like the last sources, let me even look here, this is a New York Times, right?
The last source before that was Pew Research and ABC, and before that was Democrat and Chronicle.
So we make these publicly available, and I do that because I don't really have an interest in people who are just preaching to the choir.
And it's not lost on me that, you know, about 65% of you are conservative.
We have a significant amount of people who aren't conservative or don't identify as conservative.
But it's of no value for me to address these myths and just point you to conservative or pro-gun sites that use the same arguments and they don't really have to defend them nearly as strongly.
So I am, one thing I'm decent at doing is knowing where they're about to go before they go there.
Joe Biden right there when he said, no, police.
Come on, they're telling me they've been outgunned.
No.
I know exactly what he's referring to.
This is when police largely changed over from service revolvers.
I don't remember the year, but I believe it was a shootout in Miami when the police were outgunned with gang members.
And that's when they changed from revolvers over to semi-automatic weapons.
Now keep in mind, these are police officers, and the revolvers were typically six shots.
Some of them had seven shots.
I know this because I have one of those revolvers.
I have a Smith & Wesson 581, which was developed to be the ultimate police revolver, and it actually is.
Unfortunately, it just came in at the wrong time when they started switching to semi-automatic weapons.
I know exactly who he's referring to.
It's not a cop who told him that because cops have been using semi-automatic handguns for the last several decades.
But that is the reason that they switched over.
And by the way, it wasn't that they were outgunned because the other guys had semi-automatic handguns.
It's that they were outgunned, period, because they only had six shots in their revolvers and reloading was a problem.
Keep in mind, home invasions don't typically occur with one person.
If you're in the house.
There's a difference between someone breaking and entering and a home invasion when you are there.
Let's say two people break in.
Let's say it's three people.
And I love revolvers.
You've got six shots.
In the dark, in a shaky hand?
Be nice to have 17.
Or be nice to have a rifle with 25-40.
And you know who it's nicest for?
A woman.
Or someone who has no chance against the absolute monsters who are breaking into that house knowing that people are home and are willing to commit violence.
Firearms protect the most vulnerable among us.
Okay.
Was that shootout the one where they had the body armor, too?
I think that was L.A., right?
That was L.A.?
Okay, I wasn't sure if it was the same one.
Yeah, that was different.
But that was another one where, yeah, I think they... Well, that was armor and weapons.
Yeah, and they said, let's ban people having the ability to defend themselves from bullets.
Oh!
So, that's a perfect example.
People say, criminals use guns.
Let's ban guns.
And you have some people who are dumb enough to say, okay.
And they go, hey, criminals use defensive tools that keep them from being killed.
Let's ban that for everybody.
Well, just because you banned it doesn't mean the criminal can't get it.
That's the part I don't understand.
But it's also the silliest thing in the world.
It's something that couldn't possibly cause harm.
No.
People don't have the right to have a bulletproof vest?
Yeah.
Well, let me just... Dave, what you just said is exactly right.
So, New York right now, what they're trying to do is get the states around them.
They're blaming the other states for this problem.
We already have laws in place.
We're very sure.
Yeah, of course.
That's what they do.
We're blaming the other states because that's where this stuff is coming from.
Chicago blames Indiana.
Well, of course, yeah.
So now we have to expand.
So that only ends if the entire country follows the strictest gun laws that any one state has.
Yes.
That's it.
That's where it goes.
So don't think, oh, this is their problem.
This is California.
This is Connecticut.
This is Chicago's issue with Illinois.
This is what they want for everyone because that's the only way in their minds that it works.
And guess what?
It still doesn't work.
No, it's true.
Next they'll go to Canada.
Unless they do it.
And it's a really tough argument to make, but I understand the case you're making, that Manhattan is a cesspool of filth and sadness because of those people coming in from Westchester and those Amish animals coming in from Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
Oh, that's really what's ruining Manhattan.
Exactly.
It's great that you can't defend yourself with weapons in Manhattan, because nothing dangerous ever happens.
Ever.
No.
No.
Oh, there's no guns, guys, in Manhattan.
Do you know this?
Right.
There's no guns.
No, I know.
None whatsoever.
Nary a gun to be found.
I've never been woken up to the sound of gunfire.
Criminals throw rocks at each other because they have no weapons.
No, that's Crack Rocks, and that's Hunter Biden.
He throws it in his trash outside the grade school.
You can get a gun, though, if you're a criminal.
Oh, it's very easy.
Plenty of them have guns.
Here's another claim that they're going to make, and they're making, that gun violence right now, so they want to combine gun control, and then tell you that gun violence is a problem of what?
It's a white supremacy problem.
Now, I'm sure you probably know that this does not hold water.
Let me ask you, comment below, does that pass a sniff test for anyone?
I would particularly like to hear from black people watching right now.
Do you really believe that gun violence is a white supremacy problem?
You know some stats are coming, but don't be embarrassed.
I just want to know if you buy it, because here's the truth.
Black people kill white people at a much higher rate than white people kill black people.
They also kill black people at a higher rate.
than white people kill black people. So let's look at the murder by race of offender and the victim
from 2019. These are the most recent stats we confirmed from the FBI. White people killed 246
black Americans. Black people killed 566 white Americans.
Keep in mind the population difference.
That means that white people killed less than half the amount of blacks when they make up 76% of the population, but black Americans killed double the amount of whites even though they only make up about 13% of the population.
That is an unbelievable gap.
So if I have to watch another film Where the bully is the white kid in a letterman jacket, or the person breaking in for some home security system commercial, is the white guy with a bolo tie, I'm gonna lose it!
But Steven, it's still white supremacy, sorry.
Oh menace to society, Boys in the Hood, Jersey Drive, you know there were some movies that kind of captured the reality, but that was of course 30 years ago.
And who could forget John Cougar Mellencamp's famous hit, Click Click Boom.
Yep.
He's a...
Sigh.
Laughter.
Huey...
Huey Lewis and the Glocks.
He hasn't been glorifying this for a very long time.
And the blood-soaked news.
And this is the thing, they want white Americans to feel guilty if, for example, after the knockout game and after you see this unbelievable wave of crime that had taken place over the pandemic, the riots, they want you to feel guilty.
We talked about this yesterday.
This is the overarching theme here.
They want you to feel guilty for saying, oh, you know what?
I get a little bit nervous as a white woman in a primarily black neighborhood where my head is on a swivel.
Oh, why is that?
Well, because, you know, I'm exponentially more likely to be shot, raped, or robbed.
Don't say that!
But they encourage black people to live in fear of the white supremacy that statistically is a non-factor.
Right.
Because every single one of the community leaders has been out there saying, the Al Sharptons and everybody saying, white people, white supremacy, racism, that's the problem that you have to be afraid of.
And so if you're a black person and that's the only voice that you're hearing right now, you believe it.
And you go, white people are out to get me.
And so now an entire community fears something that they shouldn't and these communities can no longer hang out.
I don't think most black people actually believe that.
I don't think they do either, but I'm saying if that's the only voice your community is hearing, which a lot of times it is, come on.
A lot of times you're hearing, this is white supremacy, white supremacy.
That's the problem going on in America right now.
It's white supremacy.
They're saying it right now.
The greatest threat in this country right now is white supremacy.
Right.
That's the biggest domestic threat, even though we're headed towards what seems like another summer of love coming our way with riots and protests.
Well, love and rape are used interchangeably.
It's true.
Well, either side coming at you like that creates a gigantic amount of anxiety, which has already been created over the last two and a half years.
I'm not surprised these things are happening at the rate that they are because of what's been going on.
It's all anxiety bubbling to the surface.
But what I would say is the big difference, though, and I agree with you.
The difference is the anxiety that's created one way, for example, if white Americans feel concerned if they're in a primarily black neighborhood, particularly after 2020, the anxiety is statistic-induced.
The anxiety that's being induced in the black community is from leadership lying.
That's the problem.
Look, I think that if you're a white person at a Black Lives Matter riot, whether it's Baltimore, Ferguson, whether it's going on in Dallas...
Yeah, I think you'd be a fool to not be concerned.
Now that does not mean every interaction with black... I've said that my interactions, you know, we do the talking with people, are far more pleasant with the average black American than with the average, you know, American white bitch.
Now here's the thing...
I don't think there is a single group of people in the history of this country who have been more overly represented in media and the entertainment industry while simultaneously having no accurate representation than black people.
What do I mean by that?
You think this speaker?
You think this press secretary is representative of the average black American?
You think Al Sharpton is?
You think what you're seeing on HBO is?
It's not even close!
Go and talk with them.
Go and talk with them.
But they make up a huge percent.
Black Americans make up a huge percent of what we see in media, but it is not emblematic of black American voices.
Primarily, they grow up in Christian households.
Primarily, they tend to be family-centric.
Primarily, they tend to be socially conservative.
And yes, there are issues.
That the black community obviously struggles with, that they need to deal with themselves.
I can't offer solutions because I'm a white guy.
But we're not offering mass shootings of black people.
That's just a statistical inaccuracy.
And that's the problem with sowing division based on a lie and telling people to shut up about the truth.
Truth is, white people are being often record numbers by black people in this country when you look at the crime between races.
Same thing applies with Asians and crimes being committed against them by black people.
These people committing these crimes are not people who are afraid of white supremacy or Asian supremacy.
That's a statistical reality.
And so yes, you have a lot of white people who are afraid.
And so they're less likely to reach across the aisle and speak with people in these communities.
But we need to acknowledge the statistical reality if we're going to address the problem.
We need to stop silencing people from speaking of the truth.
And we need to stop lying to one group of people to try and sow chaos.
Let's go to another claim that they will make here.
I think we're up to claim number five.
And they say now that censoring social media is what's necessary because that's what causes these mass shootings.
Here.
Meanwhile, new scrutiny and criticism of social media tonight as powerful fallout begins in the wake of that gun massacre.
It wasn't just the live streaming of the murders that the accused killer posted while the carnage happened.
It's also the wide open social media sites rife with racism and hatred pushed by white supremacists.
How to deal with all this?
It seems simple, but it is complicated.
As a First Amendment scholar, I have to reinforce it.
We don't have First Amendment guarantees to social media.
Hate that amounts to violence and harming people and taking the lives of people, that's not a question of speech.
That's a conduct that we deem to be illegal.
Look, this is what they do.
They start with a little kernel of truth.
They start with a little kernel of something that's true, where they say, well, yeah, look, of course, no one's saying that people have the right to Twitch stream shootings, dummy!
But then someone like this, and then the governor of New York, not fringe people, say, this is why we need to clamp down on social media.
Well, okay, here's the truth.
That's a really stupid thing to say.
You and Tipper Gore, right?
Remember with the Columbine shooting?
They blamed the Matrix.
They blamed natural-born killers.
They blamed the video game Doom.
And now they're blaming social media.
And I understand what they're saying.
They're trying to say people now are using social media to get famous.
Oh, okay, so social media... Hey, hold on a second.
Do you bear any responsibility?
Media?
Hey, you know what?
Let me point you to an example.
Let's bring up CNN right now.
If someone is committing a mass shooting because they want to become famous, you haven't done anything to encourage that, have you, CNN?
Timothy McVeigh?
Columbine shooters?
Right?
ABC, NBC, CBS, you guys have never given airtime to mass shooters.
Brought up in 99% of all movies that involve mass shootings because we all know it's the media that pushes their name out there.
Exactly.
And gives them the glory that they want.
So now they want to blame...
Whether it's Twitch, or whether it's Twitter, or whether it's YouTube, Facebook, who, by the way, remove these as soon as they go up.
They're removed everywhere on social media, but not from traditional media, not from legacy media.
These dinosaurs that are dying, they're the ones giving it airtime, they're the ones making these people famous, and they want to say that the responsibility lies with you.
For tweeting out CDC statistics or skepticism of the Pfizer vaccine.
So now we need the Ministry of Truth to clamp down.
That's the problem.
The problem is people have guns in New York, people are racist, white supremacy, and this is a social media problem.
Yeah.
It's hate speech again, right?
It's something that's very, very, very hateful.
Yeah.
When the truth is people don't have enough guns.
Right.
And the truth is that media has encouraged this.
Media is what has made people famous.
And the truth is the statistical discrepancy between white and black crimes is something that has not been addressed.
And so it's festering beneath the surface because people know the truth and you're lying to them.
That's the truth.
The black and the white woman hugging right there is an example of what's wrong with the media.
They immediately go to division.
That's the worst possible thing you can do in these situations.
It just creates more of this.
And it took them a second to build that narrative.
Well here's the thing that I'm hoping doesn't happen, but I know that it always will.
So there's a consequence to this, right?
When politicians run to these things and they start pushing a boogeyman, just like they were saying cops are out to kill black people, well that ended up with officers in Dallas, Texas being shot and killed specifically because this person wanted retribution against cops that were out to kill black people.
And that's anecdotal and the empirical is a record number of police casualties and injuries.
Yeah, absolutely.
And so what we're seeing right now is every single politician on the left is running to this issue and saying, yes, that's right, white supremacy and gun control and hate speech.
Guess what that's going to do?
White people are out to get you black people.
Guess what that's going to do?
It's going to push black people to say, I can't take this anymore.
I've got to do something about this.
And again, it's an evil person that's going to go out and do something to get retribution.
But there is a cost, and politicians are screwing around to get votes.
That's it.
That's all they want from this.
They don't care about you.
If they did, they would define gun control laws that would prevent these things from happening, but they can't.
They would define hate speech, but they can't.
It's just votes.
That's it.
The good news is black people don't watch CNN or MSNBC.
And why do they want those votes?
Money.
Power.
All money.
Power.
Well, no, no.
Didn't you just hear Madame Jean-Pierre?
She said, no, we're going to take the money from the rich people.
Ah, yes.
Oh, right, right, right.
Because they're also screwing you.
So if you watch CNN, MSNBC, ABC, NBC, CBS, or listen to any press release that comes from the White House, you would believe that your country right now is a quagmire.
Gas is up.
Inflation is up.
Violent crime is up.
Mass shootings are up because of rich white people.
Ah.
And their tax bill.
By the way, I would just like to point out a couple of years ago, Elon Musk paid the largest tax bill by any person in the United States, $11 billion.
And he's African American!
He is!
Did a fantastic job.
But that was December.
You know what?
They sent it all to the Ukraine and other countries.
Thanks, Elon.
We appreciate that.
Hey, Elon, you know, with that 40, whatever it is, 41 billion dollars to buy Twitter, you could solve world hunger.
What's this, 40 billion to Ukraine?
Why aren't you fixing the starving people?
I gave you 11 billion to help with that.
Yeah, it's not our job.
No, it is.
No, literally, it says you.
I did one of those big checks.
Yeah.
That'd be hilarious, a giant cardboard check that has 11 billion dollars.
And he would, like, create an actual hologram of Ed McMahon because he could to deliver it.
Yeah.
Happy Gilmore, I came in second, but I want a big check.
Well, give me one of those guys.
So, look, you guys can comment.
Which gun myth, gun control or mass shooting myth do you think is the most pervasive?
Because we're going to be doing an arc on this.
We want to talk about this more.
We want to make sure that you go into your college classrooms, that you go to your family dinners and you are prepared to address this.
To do it effectively.
I just think that conservative media has failed so many people.
I really do.
And look, this is primarily a comedy show, I'm honest, but we're very straightforward about it.
That's also why we make the references publicly available.
That's also why occasionally we just go onto the street and talk with people so you can see what those interactions are like.
I grew up in Canada, for the most part.
Didn't have Fox News.
We didn't have AM radio, and so my opinions were formed basically from what I could read, and I got to see John Stossel segments on 20-20 after TGIF.
When I came to the United States, and I was saying, okay, I want to learn how to be able to defend my points of view and how to express them, and I saw the media available, I said, are you serious?
That wouldn't work?
It's the political and cultural equivalent of a keto.
It only works with people who are willing.
You need to learn how to engage with people who disagree with you and that's what we're trying to do this week so that never again will one of these mass shootings occur and you be caught flat-footed with these arguments that have not changed since the 1990s.
They've changed zero.
Okay.
Well, and don't fall into it, too.
Right.
I mean, when you walk around and you say something, you know, if you say something horribly racist or you blame another race or you do whatever it is, remember, that's exactly what they want.
Right.
They want you to buy that.
They want you to be afraid.
They want you to be afraid of the other side.
They want you to be nervous.
They want you to be anxious.
They want you to be scared.
They want you to give up everything, including your rights.
Right.
They want you to think the boogeyman is Robert Byrd.
Yeah.
Real quick question for our guys in the studio here, not in the studio, but in the control room.
They just announced that they've made an arrest in the Dallas shooting of a Korean-owned hair salon.
CNN just covered the entire story.
I didn't hear any mention of race, but it was a Korean-owned salon, and I'm just curious if the race is known.
So if you guys look it up, That just happened.
There was a shooting in a Korean salon.
It happened a couple of days ago.
I don't know how many people were shot.
Remember when one happened?
I don't remember if it was in Texas.
The guy shut up the massage parlor and said it was racially motivated.
I think it was in Georgia or something.
It was because they didn't want to give him handies.
He went to the wrong salon for that.
Yeah, you gotta go to the right place.
This is from an hour ago, but the Dallas Morning News says that the police announced the arrest early Tuesday, but did not provide the suspect's name, so I don't think we're gonna get the race yet if they don't have the name.
Gotcha.
Alright.
I'm just curious!
One guess.
Just curious.
Now... I mean, it could be wrong.
Before we go to the Project Red Josh Twitter, which is fantastic, by the way, I went to an Asian... when I lived in New York City, an Asian massage parlor for a long... Did they walk on it?
I later thought, I might have gone to a dirty massage parlor.
But here's the thing.
I didn't know how this worked.
They were just old ladies.
Like 70 years old.
So I didn't think that's how it worked.
But then I realized once I was in the unbelievable massages, but like gross violation of towel laws.
But then I realized that if they were a dirty massage parlor, I was using them.
Because I was just paying the standard $40 fee for a massage, and they were waiting for a tip.
I'm like, well, see ya!
Bye!
You left with a smile on your face.
Tables turned.
Could be.
I don't know.
I genuinely don't know.
I thought it seemed, you know... Good massage, though?
It was unbelievable.
Oh, great.
Oh, it was unbelievable.
A back room, like a... The place was called the Wack Shack.
Yeah, it's spelled in Chinese.
I don't know what it said.
Who knew?
I only found out afterwards.
Right next to the Golden Pan, delicious.
But there was one 70 year old lady, I went back like the fourth time, she's like, I had never told you this, you are very handsome.
I'm like, well that's weird, but thank you.
Now please touch my naked body.
If I get a massage, I just keep my underwear on, so I think that's the deal.
Yeah.
Right?
Like wherever you go.
I mean, I guess if you're like a massage envy and you're just like naked, there's just a towel over every part but here.
Yes, exactly.
Yes, we're here for a massage.
Put on your saran wrap bodysuit with the hole.
Yeah.
Yeah, I think it's just that's the clue.
It's like, nah, I just, seriously, my neck hurts.
I fly a lot.
Yeah.
Well, there was this place, they had, because they had a front room where you could sit in the chair, where it was just, they just did your neck.
Right, yeah.
It wasn't a weird place.
I mean, there were no separate rooms.
Well, then why do you think it was a dirty thing?
Because she rubbed my nipples.
So, let's go to Twitter.
For money.
She paid me money.
On request.
Okay, all right.
No, Nico's pink like an ice cream cone.
Very cute.
That's a weird analogy, but thank you.
Oh, I mean, I think anybody can be bought.
I mean, trust me, Gerald, anybody can be a sex slave if you pay the right amount.
Yeah, yeah, pretty much.
Except I also don't think that male gigolos are a thing.
I really don't.
No, why would you?
No one pays for that.
No, why?
Just go out.
Just go out and say yes.
Yeah.
Just walk around and go, does anybody want to?
Yeah?
Everyone?
Yeah.
That was hard.
You could be the grossest woman alive and you will still find a guy who's just like, okay.
Yeah.
You don't have to call a gigolo.
Yeah.
Why would anyone pay for it?
You're just, you know what?
The point is fiscal responsibility.
All right.
Now let's move on to, this is another story that has been breaking here, and hats off to Project Veritas did a great job.
This Twitter senior engineer, Siru Murugesan, I don't know if I'm pronouncing it correctly.
I think that's pretty close.
Do you think there's a difference between Twitter's definition of free speech and Elon's definition of free speech?
And then he goes on to say all of the things that we've known to be true, but haven't entirely been able to prove
due to the obfuscation with the algorithms.
But here's some of the footage.
Do you think there's a difference between Twitter's definition of free speech and Elon's definition of free
speech?
Twitter does not belong to free speech.
Elon believes in free speech.
What do your colleagues say about it?
They hate it.
Some of my colleagues are like, left, left.
Left, left, left.
You know, Jobs is a state.
He's a capitalist.
We weren't really operating in a capitalist mode.
We were very socialist, but we're all like...
Bro, it's okay to say it.
You just gotta tolerate it.
It's okay.
The left would be like, no, I'm not gonna tolerate it.
I need a censor.
The left does not.
Ideologically, it does not make sense because we're actually censoring the right, not the left.
So if everyone on the right wing were to be like, Bro, it's okay to say, you just gotta tolerate it.
The left would be like, no, I'm not gonna tolerate it.
I need a censor.
Or else I'm not gonna be able to have a chance.
So this is a public service announcement.
If you look and sound like that, and a girl is interested in you randomly, who's even like a six, you're being lied to.
Just ask Azizan, sorry.
That's him trying to be bad, badass.
He's like, we're communists, fuck!
I am so bad!
Yes, I support the slaughter of a hundred million people!
I'm a Stalinist!
Oh, I'm bad boy!
But I did not order the burger.
No?
This is so bad.
I mean I did, but it's mushroom burger.
I worship it.
I am bad!
Look at my sleeve, I roll it up and put a pack of cigarettes in the t-shirt.
I'm like James Dean!
I'm commie!
Those are candy.
Well, yes, they're Popeye cigarettes, but look!
I'm a prudent bad boy!
You're not very prudent because you just said on camera that you only censor conservatives.
Oh, is that the blinking light?
Oh, yeah.
Why did you keep adjusting your lapel?
I thought it was a fashion choice.
I thought good-looking women were wearing blinking lights in between their titties.
First time I've been so close to them.
I don't deal with people well.
I thought it was like an Iron Man thing that went right there that, you know, powered your sexiness.
I am bad.
I'm co- Do you still want to sleep with the commie?
No?
Okay.
I'm just going to be unemployed, bad boy.
Oh yeah, these guys totally get fired pretty quick.
Elon may keep him because he says, you know, I'm leaning more towards Elon's kind of way of thinking in the video.
Oh, I keep him.
There's a blinking dot on her forehead.
Go on.
Just don't ever give interviews again.
The prophecy is true.
Yes, talking to here.
The prophecy is true.
Oh, my mom's does not blink.
How are these people still tricked?
You know, you give a guy a little bit of attention, a little bit of alcohol, and all of a sudden he's just like, yeah, I'll tell you everything you wanted to know.
You just keep writing the answers down, which is kind of weird, but I'll keep talking.
Yeah, you don't even have to torture men.
Just send in this good-looking woman, and they'll be like, yes!
We're stupid!
Come on!
Just give them the one thing they can't resist.
Right.
You don't even have to give it to them.
You just have to show up in front of them and they'll think that you're giving it to them because they're stupid.
Yeah.
Give them the idea that they might have a chance.
Yeah.
By the way, if you don't think Elon Musk can make this company a little bit better, this guy said he's been working four hours a week, but he's going to try harder because he wants a promotion, but his job currently pays him around $190,000.
Yes.
I am like the reverse Tim Ferriss.
Yes, yes, yes, yes.
They do a great job.
I mean, I'm similar to Tim Ferriss, only I don't actually work.
By the way, do you know what happened under real communism?
If you worked four hours a week, they'd kill you.
Yes, they did, yes.
It was because you were already dead, that's how much you worked.
People don't understand this about communism, that communism was based on the fundamental idea that the workers were working very hard.
Very, very hard for very little.
But everybody had very little.
Yeah.
Everybody had very little except for the upper, upper, upper tier, and so you weren't jealous of anybody else, but you could rat them out if they did something wrong and they would be killed.
So maybe, do you get to keep their stuff?
Was this guy just using, like, the handbook for pickup lines in Silicon Valley?
Did he really think this was gonna work?
We censor conservatives, I'm commie, and I am very unproductive.
Do you want to have sex with me now?
I'm a very lazy adult male.
Piece of shit.
I have six roommates, but I better try harder!
I'll work five hours a week.
I have six roommates.
Well, eight if you count the garage.
But we have roosters.
The pet roosters in Silicon Valley.
I have a cat.
So, you know what?
Good on you, James O'Keefe.
Good work.
I recommend you go to Project Veritas.
Check out the rest of it.
Everyone else has already provided valuable commentary.
Obviously we know.
I mean, we just saw a gain of, I think I saw a gain personally of 250,000 subscribers in the last, like, Twitter followers in the last three weeks.
You can follow me, at S Crowder.
You can follow all of us.
You have at Landau Dave, at G Morgan Jr., and at S Crowder.
And all of a sudden now my tweets are actually getting to you.
Weird how that happens.
It's bizarre.
It's crazy.
Yeah.
I am actually, they often refer to me as the bad boy of Twitter.
See, there goes the bad boy of Twitter.
He doesn't wear a seatbelt or sunscreen.
Dave is wearing my hat.
Yes!
