We were just having a debate here in studio.
Lawnmower Man.
Can you comment below?
Who did Lawnmower Man?
Who made it?
Yeah, was Lawnmower Man, was that Finch?
Was that Cronenberg?
I think it was Cronenberg, but it was Jeff Fahey.
It might have been Finch.
We'll take that in chat later on Mug Club.
All right.
I have a lot to get to today here.
Lest we be pulled from YouTube, I'm just going to tell you right away.
MugClub, lightoffcrowder.com slash MugClub.
Right, $30 off for students, active military veterans.
If you enter in that word, the promo code veteran, military student.
You can also watch us on Rumble, the free show, Monday through Thursday at 10 a.m.
Eastern.
Because I am not calling people today.
I'm not calling you to wanton violence, just to be clear.
But I am calling you to fight back.
I am calling you to protect yourself, and I mean that both figuratively, politically, intellectually, and based on what the left is doing right now.
I do mean literally.
Okay, we are at that point when you look at these calls to action that you see from not only leftist politicians, which are far more severe than anything Donald Trump did, but if you see the actions that are being carried out.
We cannot have another Black Lives Matter riot situation.
All I'm saying is I don't want to see thousands of officer casualties.
I don't want to see dozens of deaths.
We don't need this in this country.
It doesn't have to go that far.
Come on.
Do your job, the left.
And we'll also be talking today about Clarence Thomas, why he's a pump.
I love him.
His top five moments throughout history.
I know that many of you watching right now are younger, so you may not remember how often he has been fighting the Wendigos of the left.
And a very common argument people have asked us to debunk is this idea that banning abortion is racist, that it'll hurt black women more because of, you know, mother mortality rates.
It's not true.
It's hogwash, as it were.
And I'll explain to you why.
Of course, Gerald A. is with me, the best man, better man.
How are you, sir?
I'm fine.
And then Dave, thank you for asking.
Quickest man on his feet, and he is with me on tour.
LatosCutter.com slash tour will be in Houston on September 17th at the Financial Center in Sugar Land, and then Charleston, West Virginia, October 8th.
And there are a bunch of dates there.
You can see there's Phoenix, there's Baltimore, there's Red Bank.
Baltimore, we have our flak jackets.
There's Nashville.
But a lot of those are closer to That's hilarious.
Uh, Sugarland is very big and West Virginia is very big, so, okay.
Doing well there?
Sugarland sounds delicious.
It does.
Yeah.
Houston, one of the most obese cities in the country.
Should be Sugarfoot.
Yes.
Sugarfoot cinema.
Um.
That's hilarious.
Is it really?
No.
It is the most, I think it's the most obese major city in the country.
And it's called Sugar Land?
It's called Sugar Land.
That's bad naming.
It's perfect naming.
Or it's apt naming.
Dead on.
And before we move on here, we're going to be talking about Clarence Thomas, we're going to be talking about the calls to violence, and hopefully you guys can share this.
We'll make it available on social media, just a montage of Those on the left using the words fight, you know talking about people need to fight like hell also that this won't be won through an election.
We'll get to that.
But first, did you know that Justice Clarence Thomas is actually A warlock who pract- did you know this?
Practices black magic.
Yeah.
Y'all are gonna hate what I have to say today.
Clarence Thomas is a blue man.
It's always been true and it's weird that younger people don't know about it.
It was part of the Anita Hill case.
He accused Anita Hill of putting pubic hair on his can of coke to influence him.
His first language was Gullah.
When we say that the Supreme Court has witches, warlocks, workers on it, we mean it.
This is why when people say hex the Supreme Court, do this and that, hex the patriarchy, do things like that, we forget that there are witches and workers on both sides.
What about that chin strap?
Are you not patriarchal?
I'm confused.
These people are using it in very negative ways and I know that Clarence Thomas is one of them.
Now what his wife got going on, somebody will have to tell me, but Clarence Thomas is a hoodoo man.
A hoodoo man.
Clarence Thomas is a hoodoo man.
What are you?
You're wearing a witch's hat, sir ma'am.
Zee George.
That hoodoo that you do so well, Clarence.
Do you really want to hurt me?
Yes.
Yeah.
Stop asking.
Yes.
Isn't that, come on, that's black and, well, I say, I repeat myself, androgynous.
That's black modern trans boy George without a sense of humor.
Indeed.
Let's get a side-by-side for that a little bit later.
That's exactly what that is.
It's Chappelle and Nutty Professor.
Yes.
It's if Chappelle did a boy George sketch.
Yes.
He's a hoodoo man.
We're just gonna let that go, huh?
People asking if you want to hurt me, I don't, it doesn't make sense!
That who do that you do that I do.
I just didn't know that was a thing.
You remind me of the freak.
What freak?
Act like that's a word.
And this has been a constant theme.
We'll be talking about Clarence Thomas.
I want to be clear.
The left didn't try to get rid of him because he was a black man.
And it's overused today.
The left wanted to get rid of Clarence Thomas when he was being appointed to the Supreme Court because he was a very strict originalist.
He was a passionate originalist and so they did use The trope of the hypersexualized black man.
It's just like Brett Kavanaugh.
There's nothing new under the sun.
Only back then, they had nothing.
They had nothing on Kavanaugh, so they made it up.
But what she just said, where he accused Anita Hill of a pew and a Coke can to control him, he made a joke!
He said, ah, what's the short curly on my Coke can?
Is that a pew?
Makes me like him more!
Anita, did you put this on here?
Verbatim did that.
I don't think so.
You know it's something like that.
Ah, who's short and curly?
This is my Diet Coke can.
I don't know, I saw you manscaping in the back.
Ah, you know, you trim the bushes, make the tree taller.
I don't know why he sounds like Tracy Morgan.
I'm gonna be on the Supreme Court!
They're falling out at the end.
I wanna be a justice!
So.
Yeah.
Roe vs. Wade, I wanna make you all pregnant.
Yeah!
I look at you wrong, you get pregnant.
You won't roll my way?
I'll roll your way first!
Then I crash my car.
I got hit by a Walmart truck for the pregnancy test.
I'll judge you till you love me.
And it came up positive!
I'll never tell you what my dad saw on Tracy Morgan Live, just for laughs.
My dad just went, BOOO!
He's like, WHAT?!
He goes, STOP STEREOTYPING YOURSELF!
He's like, OKAY!
He's the worst stand-up comedian I've ever seen in my life.
Alright.
I love that your dad booed.
He booed Tracy Morton.
Yeah, if my dad heckles, he does it deliberately, and he's the kind of guy who will give you a tough time.
He'll go all in, too.
I've watched him heckle by just laughing really hard.
Oh yeah, that's... He's just like... We're like, oh, this guy over here's like... Do the one again!
Do the one again!
How about how blacks are different than whites?
It just ruins their rhythm.
If the comic's a jerk.
Well, of course.
He's not just doing it for fun.
No, no, no, no.
Every time.
For kicks.
It's odd.
It's every time a black man's on stage.
It's weird.
No, no, that was with the white guy, actually.
I'll give you the name after.
You'll know who it is.
I'm sure I, yeah.
I kind of guess.
Yeah, you can probably guess.
So here, let's get to this.
And I want, look, have you noticed this?
And do you think that there actually is a scarier threat of violence and call to action with violence?
You can comment below.
Coming from the left, compared to Donald Trump, or is it just a matter of making them play by their own rules?
I think it's a little column A, little column B.
So, let me refresh your memory for those who haven't tuned in to ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN at any given minute, because they run this, they have this on a loop like a morphine drip.
What happened back then, if you remember when President Trump told all of his supporters to fight like hell, January 6th.
And we fight.
We fight like hell.
And if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore.
Now keep in mind, that is what they consider to be a call to violence, and we'll get to the articles of impeachment in a second, but before we get to what they did to him, and is what they want to do to you, which we're seeing now with January 6th, that retired couple just had their home invaded, it was at least pretty clear Donald Trump went out of his way to make clear what he was calling people to do.
This is what the media doesn't show you.
I know that everyone here will soon be marching over to the Capitol building.
To peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard, today we will see whether Republicans stand strong for integrity of our elections, but whether or not they stand strong for our country.
So two things there.
Can we all agree that it was pretty clear that he was saying peacefully?
Well, it was just because he said it.
Yes.
And he said with your words.
He didn't say with your fists or with your breaking.
And you know what else?
Do you know what he also didn't do?
Even with the figurative call to fight, who was he calling people to fight?
Republicans.
His own party.
He said, to see if they will be strong.
He didn't say, go over there and fight like hell to the nearest, the nearest trans amoeba you could find.
Drop a house on them.
Right.
I want to see their stockings curl up from under the state capitol.
And you were there.
And you.
And you.
They say a lot of people were there.
He said, peacefully, patriotically, make your voices heard and see if the Republicans will stand up for you.
He was calling...
His own party to the mat.
Yeah.
So even if you want to say it was a call to violence, which it wasn't, because you have ears, again all references available at latoscreditor.com, he was very clearly calling people to hold their own party accountable, not to co-commit even figurative acts of violence against political opposition in the street.
I think it's a very important delineation.
So let's look at the articles of impeachment that were filed against him.
Because of that, keep in mind this has never been done before, they impeached a sitting president Twice.
Twice.
Yes.
That's for one of them.
These were the articles.
He willfully made statements that, in context, encouraged and foreseeably resulted in lawless actions at the Capitol, such as, if you don't fight like hell, you're not going to have a country anymore.
So, I love how they say, in context, and then don't provide the context.
Yeah, exactly right.
They're known for that.
And by the way, you know what he said for them to do?
Return the electors to the states until we figure this out.
That was it.
He wasn't saying install me as dictator.
He wasn't saying that Joe Biden couldn't have possibly won the election.
There's no way in the world.
He was very adamant that he thought he won.
Right.
But he's saying return it to the states until we sort this out.
That was his call.
Yep.
That's insurrection?
That's...
And this was before a lot of the BS lawsuits, and by the way we've talked about, we've been at the front of this, there was enough with the changing of the voting laws that violated the Pennsylvania Constitution, there was enough with double voting with ballots that weren't marked properly, there was enough with people who were voting in multiple municipalities that you didn't have to say it was about Dominion voting machines, there was already enough that it happened at that point.
This is before Some people who were grifting got absurd and made unfounded claims.
Now guys, the double ballots were marked properly.
Yes.
They were marked for Joe Biden.
So they impeached him there, saying in context, disregarding the context of peacefully, and they claimed of course that it was, which will then later bring us here to what we're having now, but the left claimed back then it was akin to incitement, sedition.
This mob was in good part President Trump's doing, incited by his words, his lies.
Wrong.
This violence, in good part, his responsibility, his everlasting shame.
And he clearly has indicated that over and over again.
And by inciting sedition, as he did yesterday.
And then yesterday, a culmination of attack on our institutions of democracy.
This time, the Congress itself inciting a mob to attack the Capitol.
Okay, you guys make your own judgments there.
By the way, hey, they're in the control room.
Remember to pull out that old Muppet-Heckler sketch that we have as a recurring thing.
We never ended up doing that, incorporating it.
So more tweets here.
Elizabeth Warren tweeted, Donald Trump incited an insurrection at the U.S.
Capitol.
The House has fulfilled its constitutional duty by delivering an article of impeachment to the Senate.
I don't know why she wrote that.
That's odd.
She makes a lot of money off her casino.
Yes, she does.
Jackpots, by the way, don't pay out if she's renovating her apartment.
That's what I've heard.
AOC made these comments.
To my GOP colleagues, know that this president incited an insurrection against and incited his mob to find, harm, and possibly kill not just Democrats, but you, too.
Didn't mention Democrats there, by the way.
He talked about people holding Republicans accountable.
He will allow opportunities of physical harm against you if you aren't sufficiently loyal to him.
Remove him.
Wait, hold on a second.
Allow?
Allow opportunities of physical harm against you?
Do you mean like catch and release?
Do you mean like violent offenders in New York and these cities who are just, it's just a revolving door like Elf of rapists?
Hmm.
Yeah, I think that's true.
Do you want to know who you want to blame for this?
If you're pissed off that there weren't enough police officers, National Guard, anybody else, Nancy Pelosi would be a great place to start.
She had the power.
President Trump approved her getting whatever she needed.
To defend the Capitol.
Well, she can't be blamed for what she didn't do while she was down in the K-Hole.
By the same logic, AOC is saying, hey, he will incite a mob.
He didn't incite a mob, we have the context for that.
If you want to blame somebody for being in danger that day, blame the people who didn't have enough people there to protect you because it looked like, politically, they knew something was going to happen and it played better for them to let it happen than to have them do it.
By the way, you know, you got the K-Hole reference and he didn't.
I didn't.
Oh, of course I did.
I bet you her biography is going to read the same as Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
I set my way to D.C.
with uppers, downers, laughers, screamers.
Except I bet you her biography, if it's an autobiography, will be about as legible as Stevie Wonder's autobiography.
She's like, nah, I don't know what to do with this.
She a doctor writing like that?
So that's them saying that Donald Trump was calling people to violence.
You just saw those clips.
That brings us to now!
Where, um, it doesn't only look like they're taking a page out of Donald Trump's playbook, I would argue, and I want to hear from you, because you can both sides this thing, that it's far worse.
It's a sad day for the country in my view.
But it doesn't mean the fight's over.
The Supreme Court does not get the last word the people do.
and we are going to fight back.
While Republicans seek to punish and control women, Democrats will keep
fighting ferociously to enshrine Roe v.
Wade as fight the law of the land.
Fuck you, SCOTUS!
We will be out by the thousands.
We will be out by the millions.
We're going to make sure we fight by the right to control our own lives.
Shut it down! Shut it down! Shut it down! Shut it down!
Shut it down!
Shut it down!
We're just so tough over here.
This is going to have massive impact.
And so we are fighting like hell.
It's going to take every single thing we've got.
It's not going to be solved with an election.
It's going to be solved with a fight of a lifetime.
So, let's contrast that with, let's see if Republicans are strong on election integrity versus, this is not going to be solved by an election, it's going to be solved by the fight of a lifetime.
Now, granted, some of those clips, if you take them and they say, uh, and something, by the way, we mean politically.
But again, if you look at the rhetoric, and you look at the results, and they use the words, literally, Whitmer, fight like hell, and many of them say, fight, and take to the streets, not peacefully, in single file fashion, Using the buddy system, march over to the Capitol building to peacefully and patriotically make your voices heard to your own party.
They're saying take to the streets and fight like hell because they want to legislate your wombs.
Hey, are any of these people going to be held accountable?
Any of them going to be?
Whitmer, definitely.
Whitmer has to be banned from Twitter, at least.
Right, Dorsey?
At the very least.
And by the way, that's why you can, right now we're wearing these, Dave has one, Gerald has one, you can buy the Fight Like Hell shirts at CrowderShop.com because I don't shy away from it.
I have no problem with them saying fight.
So long as you allow us to say fight.
And right now, when I say fight like hell, I mean fight back.
There are people with makeshift flamethrowers, we showed you yesterday, at the cops.
Think of this for a second.
Remember every movie that we used to see, a mobster movie, or even if you go back to Breaking Bad, it was like, you shot a cop, you effing moron, you have any idea the heat that's gonna... Now you have these Antifa people flamethrowing police officers.
They're worse than the mob!
Yeah.
I don't know why cops are still the good guys in movies.
Right.
Even when I watch them, I'm like, aren't you guys the ones, you know, pushing the narrative that they're all bad?
I know.
Yeah.
Well, by the way, I have a question.
How is it not trying to destroy democracy by saying, we'll just defy the Supreme Court?
Don't you know that that's why it's there?
It's there to solve the problems that the United States has that can't be solved any other way.
That's why you go through this process to get the final word on an issue.
Right.
That's the Supreme Court's job.
If you say defy the Supreme Court, what's the next step?
The natural next step is that you defy the law in that state and then the Supreme Court has a ruling that is the law of the land and the federal government has to come and enforce.
How do they come and enforce that law?
They tend to come armed.
If you're telling people to defy that because you don't like the ruling, not that it's taking away a Second Amendment riot or the First Amendment riot or changing democracy, you just don't like what they've done, You're calling people to eventually be violent against that.
That's the only natural step.
Of course they are.
And by the way, AOC, her political solution was executive orders.
Like, these people have too much power, they're unelected, they're lifetime appointments, so executive order that!
Hold on a second, let me get this straight.
Roe v. Wade giving the states the authority Giving the elected representatives in each state the authority to create their own abortion laws.
By the way, you can have the most radically pro-abortion laws in California and Colorado if you want.
That is anti-democracy.
But having a president sign an executive order to supersede the Supreme Court, who is supposed to be autonomous, is not?
I'm a little murky on the rules.
Maybe you guys can clarify below.
You can comment for me.
Because I don't know.
It's hard for me to follow.
It's about as hard for me to follow as AOC's left eye.
She seems to have more power than anybody, and I can't figure out why.
Um, sometimes it's just the, uh, she's stupid.
Whoever controls the mob has the power.
Seems to be the truth, though.
And we will poison their souls!
With stupidity!
With AOC!
My mouth is... Your punishment must be more moronic!
This is my idiot.
You deserve this.
Were you about to say something there, Tolkien Owen?
Oh yeah, I know we're talking about Clarence Thomas and I have maybe a good setup clip
because Hillary Clinton, she went to law school with him at Yale.
She was on CBS about two, three hours ago and she had some pretty hyperbolic-
Hold on, wait, wait, wait, wait.
Are you going to show- I just want- you're going to show us a clip of Hillary Clinton?
Yeah.
Do we have a barf bucket?
Yeah, we have one.
I just want to make sure I'm prepared for this.
It's close.
Because, um, you know, I get the crawlies.
Yeah, you can projectile too.
All right.
Everyone ready?
Are her ankles on camera?
I hope not.
Like Miss Piggy.
Oh no.
No cankles, baby.
Miss Piggy dangling from a log singing Rainbow Connection.
I can't do it.
Her ankles.
She should have the leather.
She should have her own leather special.
Just white coffee cans.
Use both of them and connect a string and just, hello, hello!
Alright, so this was Hillary Clinton on CBS two hours ago.
Right now it is 11.53 Eastern.
Two hours ago, talking about her time at Yale with Clarence Thomas.
10.53.
She gets pretty hyperbolic about the consequences that might come from the overturning of Roe v. Wade.
Sorry, I was off by an hour.
We're 9.53 Central.
We're 953 Central. All right, okay, Tocanon. I think...
Go!
You know, people... I went to law school with him.
He's been a person of grievance for as long as I've known him.
Resentment, grievance, anger.
And he has signaled in the past Two lower courts, two state legislatures to find cases, pass laws, get them up.
I may not win the first, the second, or the third time, but we're going to keep at it.
So you're saying people pay attention to this?
Yes, the people he is speaking to, which is the right-wing, very conservative judges and justices and state legislatures.
And the thing that is, well there's so many things about it that are deeply distressing.
You killed the guy.
But women are going to die, Gayle.
Women will die.
I can't believe her husband is attracted to other women.
That's impossible.
Women will die?
Are you talking about your private pilots?
Are you talking about the babies that were aborted?
Probably somewhere around there.
No, I'm talking about the Clinton body count here.
Look at you taking it seriously.
Did she sip out of Kathleen Turner's drink?
Yeah.
Is she talking about Ghislaine Maxwell that she's going to kill in prison?
People will die.
Very soon.
You mean like your busboy?
You mean like your pilots?
You mean like your friends?
You mean like anyone who's in a general vicinity of you if you don't like them?
A lot of people shoot themselves in the back running scared through the woods.
Yes.
Twice.
The average life expectancy for someone who knows the Clintons is, in fact, 32.
If I double tap myself on the back of the head, it wasn't suicide.
It gets to the point where being friends with the Clintons is like being in a Final Destination sequel.
It really is.
The rebar went through his head?
I don't know, it happens all the time.
Never go tanning and be on the Clintons hit list.
How do I get to your cabin, Hillary?
Just follow the truck of sharpened logs.
Yes!
Why are they sharpened like pencils?
I don't know.
Hey Hilary, how did Huma die?
She was getting LASIK surgery, and uh... I don't know.
Meteorite.
Just go tanning near a... a... a... a loose door.
Ah, wood falls and closes it all the time.
Yeah, exactly.
You just at Hillary Clinton's house, you put like a coffee mug and then it shorts the electrical outlet and a piece of glass pins you to the wall and then all the kitchen utensils fall.
Like, seriously, it is a hazard to your health to be friends with that way, and I use that term very loosely.
But again, keep in mind what they are saying.
If the right said this about a black justice, Would be an incredible problem.
No, I'm not saying that they can't criticize Clarence Thomas because they disagree with his originalist philosophy.
However, and we're going to take you on a trip down memory lane here, they did use it as their mode of attack because they didn't like what he stood for.
They said, you know what?
Let's use the sexualized, promiscuous black guy thing.
So this brings us to a segment I'm very excited about.
I've been a fan for a long time that Clarence Thomas is a pimp!
I'm just a civil servant.
Probably should have flipped that.
No, I did.
Yeah, probably.
Alright.
Everybody's heard that song.
So we have top five Clarence Thomas moments and a lot of you may not remember all of these.
I like Clarence Thomas a lot, just to be clear.
The fact that the big outrage was that he made a joke about a pube on a Coke can.
Yeah.
It just makes me, I would rather clerk for him than anyone else.
It's supposed to be everyone else, oh these hallowed halls.
LOOK I GOT SOMEBODY'S ASSHALE ON MY CAM!
Patriarchy.
Yeah.
It's just patriarchy talking.
It's like good, he seems like he has a sense of humor.
Be fun to work with.
Don't you love how they say he's an angry black man?
She says, you know, he was, what was the term she used there?
She tried to say he was, uh, grievous.
Grievous.
I don't even know what she meant.
Okay, Dickens.
He's always had a grievance.
Some would say avarice.
He would fill people with great misfortune.
Yes.
When he would walk near, when he would walk these hallowed halls, I found myself overwhelmed with a sense of dread.
For he was black, you know.
Yes.
He darkened the hallway.
I mean, quite literally.
When I was working night shifts, I could only see his eyes and teeth.
Yeah.
This is Hillary, by the way.
I'm Hillary Clinton, a racist!
Allegedly!
Glad you clarified.
So I like that about Clarence Thomas, and I'm sorry, I won't go along with the idea that just because you're a justice you can't have a sense of humor, or that that is sexual harassment.
It is not targeted sexual harassment.
That being said, they had nothing to go on, so they tried to make a mountain out of that molehill, and of course they incorporated race into it.
So let's go here, number five, and we're going to go kind of in order.
Well, first, let's set this up.
Joe Biden, and you'll see exactly why I love this clip, he was a clueless rube back then who was good for nothing outside of doublespeak and making other people laugh and or say, huh, during Thomas' confirmation.
Finding out what you mean when you say that you would apply the natural law philosophy to the Constitution is, in my view, the single most important task of this committee.
I just want to make sure we all know what we're talking about.
You and I know.
I don't know.
There's a fervent and aggressive school of thought that wishes to see natural law further inform the Constitution.
You know, boy!
And I know, boy!
argued against by the positivist led by judge board
now again that may be lost on all the people you know and i know
what we're talking you know what someone may apply i don't want
like more who leads him in a direction
that is quote liberal you may apply it in a way that lead you to a direction that's
conservative or you may
like any argue not applied at all
but it is a fundamental question is going to be almost impossible
for non lawyers to grasp in an exchange a year.
You know, and I know.
Yeah, when was the last time you practiced law, Joey?
Didn't he attain public office at 28 years old?
I gotta be honest, I'm kind of glad he's losing his mind.
Yeah, well, the thing is because now at least it's unintelligible.
Well, he's crazy, but back then you were just, he's dumb.
Yeah, but you know, Dave, and I know.
You know?
You know here, boy!
And I know, son!
He just pulls out a skull.
You see these three dimples?
All right, Joe, now that's one thing.
No, no.
That's enough.
It makes them subservient.
Joe, please.
Now you go out there, Clarence, and you get me a switch, you hear?
Now here's the thing.
That was nonsensical.
He's so racist.
I know.
It was nonsensical.
And this is when they say he was a grievous person.
Clarence Thomas, I just love he was a happy worry the way he addressed it in this documentary with a smile and it's as perfectly dismissive as you can ask for.
Senator Biden was very focused on natural law.
How did that go?
Who knows?
I have no idea what he was talking about.
All I know is that he was asking me these questions about natural law.
One of the things you do in hearings is you have to sit there and look attentively at people you
know have no idea what they're talking about.
Oh, yo!
Throw your hands in the air if you's a true player.
I love it when you call me Big Papa.
So for homies, get your money playing niggas like puppies.
A grievous person.
Grievous.
Very grievous.
He could have just said, let me see if I can get these headphones on.
I couldn't.
Very grievous.
You have to get your hat back on, Gerald.
Why?
This segment goes on for a while.
It gets worse.
We're not the first people to wear headphones with these hats.
How am I supposed to do this?
I don't know, figure it out, you're white.
Lean it forward.
Lean it forward, it'll work.
Lean it forward and I'll turn off my, like this.
Hold it like you're in the studio.
And don't be shy with your horn work there, Yakuza.
That's his nice way of saying, he's an idiot.
He sounded like an idiot.
That's why.
He's an absolute idiot.
And here's the important thing, too.
You saw this with Kavanaugh.
There's nothing new under the sun.
This guy really was, and it'll bring me to a point that I want to make, I want to close this segment with, that guy there, Andrew Breitbart.
Just so you know, without Clarence Thomas, you wouldn't have had Andrew Breitbart, which you wouldn't have had Breitbart Inc.
It was watching what effectively amounted to, I'll let Clarence describe it, but a public lynching in the town square that turned that man conservative.
So, allowing the left to try and cancel and commit character assault, guess what?
There's value in that when they're so far off the beam.
So this happened with Clarence Thomas early on.
And that's why I think I've always, really, I've read biographies on him.
He's a fascinating character and very consistent with the law.
So let's go to moment number four.
And this is something, again, this is why they hate him so much.
You'll notice a theme.
People who they really don't like are people who completely disregard the elitism.
So this is that time that Justice Clarence Thomas called out the Supreme Court's elitist mentality.
One of the things that happens up here is we tend to be very heavily Northeastern in our mentality.
Eight of the nine of us are from Ivy League schools.
This court doesn't represent all regions of the country.
There's a tendency, there's an easiness to sort of stay, to be almost cliquish in that way with law clerks, etc.
I like the idea of getting out, to be around The citizens, the other citizens in the country, the people who make it all work, the people who put out our fires, the people who build our homes, the people who fight our wars.
I like being around them.
I also like the idea that their kids can come up here and clerk that that they can be a part of all this
Here's the thing Again, that's indicative.
I have to hold this headphone.
That's indicative of a guy who didn't think that he was too good for the rest of you or that the institution was too important to be criticized.
Think about Donald Trump, right?
He stood in the way between the elitists and you.
That's the same thing with Clarence Thomas on that bench.
He doesn't care.
He doesn't care what Hillary Clinton says about him.
He does not care.
A lot of people don't think that Clarence Thomas be what he is, but it do.
He's not bigger than the game.
Which brings me to another point here.
I'm going to have to take off these glasses for this moment.
So we're all dressed like Ric Flair?
Yes.
I'm a little more macho man Randy Savage with the glass scissors.
Let me tell you something, brother, I'm gonna make a Supreme Court decision that'll make your skin crawl, yeah!
Snap into a Slim Jim or a tree off of Tampa Freeway.
This brings us to moment number three, okay?
And this is Clarence Thomas' decision relatively recently in New York State Rifle and Pistol Association versus Brynn, and he dropped the metaphorical hammer saying, The constitutional right to bear arms in public for self-defense is not a second-class right.
This is a through line you'll see.
Look, he's saying we are all citizens of the United States.
He just said that there.
It's not there's the firefighter and there's a policeman or there's the garbage man and then there's me, a justice.
He's saying there is no second-class right.
It's a right or it's not for all people.
That's how it's supposed to work here.
To bear arms in public for self-defense is not a second-class right subject to an entirely different body of rules than the other Bill of Rights guarantees.
That is not how the First Amendment works when it comes to unpopular speech or the free exercise of religion.
It is not how the Sixth Amendment works when it comes to a defendant's right to confront the witnesses against him.
And it is not how the Second Amendment works when it comes to public carry for self-defense.
Damn!
You kind of left me on a limb there, Casey.
I'm so sorry.
Yakuza!
I'm so sorry.
You're still sorry!
I'm sorry!
Notorious PAG.
You can't, you can't.
Just be ready for the next one.
I am.
I thought he was doing it after Cliffs, but hey.
No, it's an incredibly important comment that he made there.
He left no ambiguity for people.
And this is what pisses people off because they're saying he can control what a state can do with the Second Amendment versus abortion where they can't control it.
It's like now it's the state's right for abortion, but you're controlling as the court what they can do.
he's like no you're placing unnecessary restrictions on a right already given
specifically by the Constitution. And I think really important is his word it's
not a second-class right. Yeah. That is a big difference between if you look at
people like the Sotomayors. Now maybe they don't feel this way but they try
and rule that way where they say well we have armed security and we have but it's
different for us because we're you know and you're not and he was saying no no
the fireman has just as much of a right to defend himself as I do as a Supreme
court justice.
Again, it's anti-elitism that you see from Justice Thomas.
Which, by the way, that's not a pimp hat, that's a gay cowboy hat.
But it works.
This brings me to moment number two, and this is just something that I think... Only when he wears it.
Got my name, my last initial on it.
Moment number two.
This is kind of almost a life creed that you hear from Clarence Thomas, but again, if you've read enough of his work and if you've watched enough interviews of him, you will see that this is consistently how he expresses himself.
Where what you do, what actions you take, and the decisions that he makes as a Supreme Court Justice cannot be dictated by societal circumstance or by what people want him to do.
So this is number two.
Here he is dropping some words to live by.
You know, you can be in the middle of a hurricane.
Or you can be on a calm day.
North is still north.
You could be in a thunderstorm.
North is still north.
People can yell at you.
North is still north.
It doesn't change fundamental things.
And in this business, right is still right.
even if you stand by yourself.
I don't think there's a whole lot more to say on that one.
Bye.
This brings us to moment number one.
And this is a big one for those of you who are younger watching.
And you know what?
I'd love to see a comment below.
I know a lot of you, you watching right now, you might be 18.
You might be 22.
You know, the majority of our viewers and listeners are under the age of 30.
So, you may not be as familiar with what they tried on Brett Kavanaugh.
They tried with Justice Clarence Thomas first, only with what they call a whiff of racism.
Mixed in so first off here before we get to I Want to make sure the final clip is which with the final clip is Clarence Thomas Is that is that c2 or is that clip C clip C?
Okay, so I want to hit the other one first.
Yep, so He was accused of sexually harassing not raping Making unwanted advances, making Anita Hill uncomfortable in the workplace.
It's complete bullcrap.
All references are available at lightofthecracker.com.
There were a lot of accusations made about him, too, that he was a regular at a pornography store, a video store, where the timelines couldn't have added up.
Oh, isn't that a trend, like we see with Brett Kavanaugh, because he didn't live in that area at that time.
They tried to make him seem like he was a pervy old black man, you know?
The evil, promiscuous black man who's going after all the white women.
That was their mode of attack.
And the lady at first who made this accusation was anonymous, and if the accusations were true, Thomas would have known who had made them.
Anita Hill admitted to lying at least five times under oath, just to be clear.
And even then, if you look at the accusations that were made, they're really not that bad, even though they're false.
Now, other female colleagues who had worked with Thomas for years, many years, Rose to his defense.
defense.
I spoke with him at least once a day.
He never made an inappropriate advance, uttered an off-color remark, or used coarse language
in my presence.
I was younger and more politically active than Anita Hill.
I was the first person to bring and introduce him to a luncheon with Thomas Sowell and others
at the Capitol Hill Club.
During this entire period, he never made any inappropriate actions towards me or any other
female with whom I saw him.
In addition to working with Clarence Thomas at the Department of Education, I shared an
office with him for two years in this building.
Our desks were a few feet apart.
Because we worked in such close quarters, I could hear virtually every conversation for two years that Clarence Thomas had.
Not once in those two years did I ever hear Clarence Thomas make a sexist or offensive comment.
Not once.
No, no, no.
Now, to be fair, those women might have what you call a sense of humor.
So, they didn't say that Justice Clarence Thomas never made a joke about a short and curly on his Coke can.
How is that sexist, by the way?
Right, yeah.
It's not.
If anything, you'd probably be looking in the direction of the guys.
Like, if I found a short and curly, I'd be like, Dave, I'm looking in your direction.
Huh?
Don't manscape in the office fridge.
I think we all know it's not me.
I'm as smooth as butter.
He's like a hairless mouse.
It's true.
It's true.
So obvious he wasn't talking sexually.
It was probably somebody's hair from their head.
It was like a pube.
Yeah.
That's a good pickup line.
Is this your pube?
Yeah.
Who's been making around the Coke cans again?
Who's this guy?
It's lonely.
I think I need to see the rest of them.
Yeah.
Like, that's what happened.
So even then, again, he had women lining up, lining up, woman after woman, saying, no, that's not true.
And then, of course, you had Anita Hill, who had to say, well, yeah, I did lie under oath a bunch of times.
There was nothing to corroborate it.
There was an investigation.
And this is something, it's a longer clip, but you may not know.
That this happened.
And I want to get into how it affected Andrew Breitbart and myself.
This was very formative for me.
This is a very important time in American history.
This is the first time that you saw this publicly with a black Supreme Court justice.
And this had been going on for a long time.
It was a circus, kind of like Brett Kavanaugh.
Yeah.
Right?
And I'm not sure if these are the opening statements that we have in the clip or the closing statements, but this had been a media circus throughout The entire process, right?
Once it was even announced that he was potentially going to be a pick, accusations, and he had had to endure this.
And Clarence Thomas...
Incredibly articulately, and I think in a very historic way, addressed the false accusations.
He was cancelled and me too'd first.
Senator, I would like to start by saying unequivocally, uncategorically, that I deny each and every single allegation against me today.
I think that this today is a travesty.
I think that it is disgusting.
I think that this hearing should never occur in America.
I think something is dreadfully wrong with this country when any person, any person, in this free country, not just me, any person, would be subjected to this.
This is not a closed room.
There was an FBI investigation.
Just like Kavanaugh.
This is not an opportunity to talk about difficult matters privately or in a closed environment.
This is a circus.
It's a national disgrace.
And from my standpoint, as a black American, as far as I'm concerned, it is a high-tech lynching for uppity blacks who in any way deign to think for themselves.
To do for themselves.
To have different ideas.
And it is a message that unless you kowtow to an old order, this is what will happen to you.
You will be lynched, destroyed, caricatured by a committee of the U.S.
Senate rather than hung from a tree I
Mean that you will hold I
Got blood on my hands and there's no remorse they got blood on my dick cuz I fuck
I'm a nasty nigga when you pass me nigga. Look me in my eye.
Tell me to my fucking face Did you bring it down to be a dead motherfucker?
And I'm out.
Stop, stop, stop, stop.
Sorry about that.
Geez.
Well, let's see if we stop cutting into my cry-humping.
Should have edited the DMX.
He's fired after this.
It just felt appropriate.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Nah, I think that was right.
Yeah, that was about right.
So, I'm going to take off this hat now so I can hear you and you can shut off the speaker,
but this is, think about what he just said there.
The constant through line is no one, not just me.
Yeah.
No one.
It wasn't, I'm the hope and change.
It was no one should go through this.
It wasn't Hillary Clinton.
When I was at this school and we were at the Ivy League, it was no American should have to endure this.
There's no due process.
No.
This isn't a closed room.
This is a message to Americans That if they try and achieve better, if they try and, for example, some people use the analogy now, go off the plantation, particularly for black people, that they will go after you and they will ruin your reputation.
Nothing that any of these black conservatives are saying today is new.
And I'm not saying they shouldn't say it.
No one's saying it better than Clarence Thomas said it.
It was a combination of canceling, due to opinions, Because it was a black man with the wrong opinions, a little bit of Me Too mixed in there, and a little bit of fake news.
All of the above.
Well, what do you think was different about him at Yale?
I wonder what it was.
Oh, you mean that he actually deserved to be there and was, you know, good?
Unlike Barack Obama, who, you know, was never published in the Harvard Review.
Ever.
The only editor of the Harvard Review not published.
The Harvard Journal, sorry.
I remember seeing that.
You can't make these comments in any other forum and not face legal consequences.
His point that he's making, the Senate can just throw out, I mean when they have these committee hearings, they can just throw out whatever they want without evidence.
This is exactly why Johnny Depp sued Amber Heard because it had a demonstrable impact on his career.
Imagine if he doesn't get confirmed.
Imagine if, by the way, and just remember, this is circa racial jungle Joe Biden leading this, right?
Just remember who we're talking about.
To be clear, he said, I don't want my kids raised in a racial jungle.
That's what Joe Biden said back before he installed the pipe cleaners.
Yeah, so let's say he's not confirmed.
What does he go back to doing?
Now you've been branded and confirmed a racist by these people, or not a racist, I'm sorry, a sex offender by these people.
Somebody who's Not even a sex offender!
A guy who made a sex-oriented joke.
Well, turning a slight thing into making you appear to be a sex offender.
Right.
I mean, that was really one of the first times that you saw the news become that weapon.
Yeah.
And even, let's say he did go to a porno video store.
Who cares?
He didn't.
No.
It wouldn't be relevant.
They just decided, what can we bring out that makes this guy look bad?
What can we bring out that he doesn't... Here's what it is.
It's a game of inches where they just want to make you quit.
You saw this using Amber Heard as an example.
They just go, do you really want people to think that you have some penthouse letters?
You really want that going public?
Today it would be, you really want your pictures from iCloud going public?
Or do we settle this?
They just want enough leverage.
You know what?
We might be able to say you went to a porno store.
You know what?
We might be able to say that you made some advances at a black woman.
Hey, you also have a penchant for white women.
We might find some people in college who say that you hit on them at a party.
Do you really want... How about you step back?
That's what we're talking about when we say fight like hell.
Fight like hell is plant your feet now.
Don't step back now.
Clarence Thomas has never Never, to the best of my knowledge, taken a step back.
He's the only person I can say that about.
Yeah, and they did this with Kavanaugh.
We didn't do this with Kagan.
We didn't do this with Ginsburg.
Like, that's not how Republicans—they tend to go after your policies, the decisions that you've made, they bring up questions about those things, but they don't accuse you of rape or making inappropriate sexual advances on employees for saying stuff like that.
But here's the— They ask you why you, you know, smoked crack with a domestic terrorist in college, that kind of stuff.
Here's the through line for me.
January 6 hearings are going on right now.
What they're doing is throwing out accusations.
It's more political theater.
It is not trying to get to the truth of a matter.
In the Kavanaugh situation, in the Clarence Thomas situation, they weren't trying to get to the truth.
They were trying to push a narrative.
Same thing with January 6th.
That's all that's going on.
You can't do that anywhere else.
Right.
Except in these committee hearings.
In these committee hearings, you can do it in media, and professors can do it.
It's professors, fact-checkers, media, and these committee hearings.
I thought you were about to say something, Dave.
Oh.
And this is something I wanted to mention here.
Without Clarence Thomas, there is no Andrew Breitbart.
So, I was one of the first, like, four contributors.
Before it was a Breitbart-y thing, it was a BigHollywood slash Breitbart.com, because it was a Schusting budget, someone else had Big Hollywood, so that was the original Breitbart place.
And there's a place for people in Hollywood, actors, directors, producers, where they could actually write whatever they wanted and they could be conservative and not worry about having an editor ax it.
So in other words, it was like a conservative version of the Huffington Post.
That's how it started.
Andrew Breitbart wasn't always conservative.
And the Clarence Thomas hearings, and this is why sometimes when people say, well why don't you start another non-profit?
Well why don't you just go into schools or create a curriculum?
Because guess what?
Seeing in front, seeing his believing and seeing what was taking place in front of him with Clarence Thomas, a young, primarily left-leaning, I would never say like today, he wasn't like today's progressives, but a primarily left-leaning by default Andrew Breitbart watched it unfold and that was what changed him.
Here's what he said.
It was impossible for me to not recognize that Clarence Thomas being black was part of the story.
How in hell could white Americans, Leahy, Biden, and Metzenbaum, let alone former KKK grand poobah Robert Byrd and Chappaquiddick's very own Ted Kennedy, so arrogantly excoriate this man whose personal narrative, from sharecropper's grandson to Supreme Court nominee, embodied the American dream?
I did not leave the Clarence Thomas hearings a Republican, he wrote.
This was the exact point, though.
I realized, not just that I disagreed with the Democratic Party, but more important, that the media were its dominant partner in crime.
So just allowing the left be as the left do, and shining a light on it, guess what?
We always talk about this with abortion.
Hey, it could be the next cure for cancer.
Hey, it could be the next, insert here, could be the next Churchill.
Could be the next George Washington, right?
We have no idea.
Hey, you know what?
Right now, one of the hundreds of thousands of people across Mug Club, across YouTube, right now, live this second, let alone the millions once this is archived, one of you may be the next Andrew Breitbart.
One of you may be the next Clarence Thomas.
Because you see what's happening, and all that is required is the truth to be contrasted with it.
And that's what we do.
We fight like hell with the truth.
And that's what Clarence Thomas has been doing for a very, very long time.
So once the shine is gone...
And nobody else is talking about Clarence Thomas.
First off, go back and see all of the pieces that we've done on Clarence Thomas in the past.
But I want you to pay attention to him in the future, even if they seem like minute rulings.
And you will find something incredibly consistent.
You will find that Clarence Thomas, throughout his entire career, win, lose, or draw, popular or not, has not made it about him or made it about him being a more capable justice.
He's always made it about, look, we either have these rights and freedoms in this country, meaning everybody does, or nobody does.
And that's why the left has tried to destroy him, and they're trying to do it with everyone now.
All these public figures now, whether you're running for governor, or whether you could be the next Supreme Court Justice.
They did it to Clarence Thomas first.
This has been based Clarence Thomas.
Yeah, Good Ranchers are better.
I don't really know if you want to get, you don't want to get meat from Special Needs Rancher, but... No.
But he's friendly.
He's very, well, he knows how to ranch.
He does know how to ranch.
That's the one thing.
He's a rancher savant.
Yes.
He's too good.
I mean, every now and then he crushes the rabbit.
Well, on accident.
Daily, but yeah, he's got a lot of rabbits.
He's got to eat.
He's got a lot of rabbits to go.
Rabbits make a lot of rabbits.
Rabbit ragu.
So celebrate the 4th of July with 100% American meat.
Right now there's a limited time deal.
You get two free 18-ounce prime ribeyes with the promo code CROWDER.
And those are the ones that I eat the most, the ribeyes.
These are not the ribeyes, are they?
What's this?
You guys gave me the Angus beef, they didn't give me the real ribeyes.
But that's what I love, the ribeyes from Good Ranchers.
And by the way, a lot of meat that you get in the stores, it's not American.
It's coming from overseas, and they come from factory farms.
Good Ranchers are a better price than the grocery store now at this point, especially if you use this promo code.
And you actually know that you're supporting real farmers.
So $70 value if you go to, is it Good Ranchers?
We have it right down there?
GoodRanchers.com slash Crowder.
Enter in the promo code Crowder.
Two free 18-ounce ribeyes.
They are delicious.
There's nothing.
Don't worry.
There's not meat in that box.
There's not?
No, there's not.
Yeah, we ate it.
Okay.
Is it just a dead rabbit?
Okay.
Yeah, the guy put it in there.
It was a little weird.
All right.
So we can move on from this while we're talking about Clarence Thomas.
Can I keep the jacket on, though?
It feels kind of... No, it looks good.
It looks very Elton John-ish on you.
Yeah, exactly.
I love it!
No, keep it on!
Keep it on!
I can't do that.
I can't.
By the way, Tiny Dancer, those lyrics don't make sense at all.
Hold me closer, Tiny Dancer.
Yeah.
The boulevard is not that bad!
What?
Well, I think it's not that bad.
I mean, it's not the worst place.
It's not the worst place.
Is someone handing out tickets for Jesus?
I don't know.
It could be.
Candle in the wind?
Doesn't it change it for you, too, when he's singing about how much he wants to come home to his lady?
Well, yeah.
Not so much.
Yeah, that's when he had all the models at one time.
Right.
And then he was like, ha, that's enough of that.
You know, he got bored with women.
Nick DiPaolo, what I love is he just pulls, for reference, for like a gay man who people acted as though he wasn't gay, Paul Lin.
Oh, yeah.
And I don't know if it's an actual, but Paul Lin was on Hollywood Squares and it was like Liberace and Elton John.
People didn't know that they were gay back then, or at least, you know, they put the blinders on.
But Paul Lin, they asked him something, I think it was Hollywood Squares, like, this is what you do, what you say, when a woman goes overboard on a ship.
And Paul Lin, and Nick DiPaolo said this, it's probably a joke he wrote, Paul Lin said, FULL STEAM AHEAD!
He was so gay.
We can pull up on Mug Club a Paul Linn clip.
Paul Linn is, yeah, he always had the ascot tied sideways.
Right.
Yeah.
He's always smoking.
Why?
You're not married?
I guess I just haven't found the right one!
Yeah, I don't know what it is.
It's also not legal.
Just haven't found Mrs. Right.
Right.
Yes, yes.
Miss Ivy Misses.
Yes.
Well, today it would be just as confusing.
Well, they would do that with Liberace.
They're like, so you're still a bachelor, huh, Liberace?
He's like, yeah.
Well, I'm married to my work, and it's a man named Work.
It goes by Bill.
But I call him Work.
Time to play my concerto on the typewriter.
Let's go to this.
This is something you're hearing quite a bit.
A few of you have asked me to rebut this and you can comment below if this meets your standards because you had asked for this.
This is a claim being made everywhere right now.
The idea that banning abortion is racist.
We dealt with yesterday how white supremacists would actually want as many abortions as possible because black women Uh, commit abortions at a disproportionate rate because they've been targeted that way, but now they're trying to make this argument that banning it is racist because that black women disproportionately suffer from higher maternal mortality rates, and that that'll get worse if you ban abortions.
This is a really lazy argument.
Again, this is their claim right now, uh, and it only requires two minutes of research to understand why.
We make the references available at LotOfCredit.com, especially if you're in college, so you can go check them out for yourself.
Don't take my word for it.
Look how LeVar Burton, when he says it, is like, you don't have to take my word for it.
Great.
Oh, so he's showing us a six-year-old because he believes he has more credibility.
Yes, well.
I like this book!
And LeVar Burton's like, see?
He says it's true.
He's not lying.
He doesn't know anything.
So the claim is that abortions save lives, right, because black women have higher maternal mortality rates.
OK, here's, oh, we have a video.
That's right.
Here's a video of them making that claim.
When you look at the difference between the women of color and the Anglo, so to say, and the disparities in the healthcare alone, before World vs. White was overturned, and the way in which black women and women of color get treatment when it comes to healthcare, now this being a whole other situation.
Well the Supreme Court ruling striking down Roe v. Wade could impact women of color more severely than anyone else.
A Duke University study estimates that a complete abortion ban could increase black maternal deaths by 33 percent.
36 million people and this is a far-right extremist Supreme Court that's making this decision.
Those far-right extremist blacks.
Other people.
Like Clarence Thomas.
And we have a black maternal morbidity crisis here.
Black women are three times more likely to die in childbirth.
1973 was the sepsis Was the sepsis that went along with these with these unsafe
abortions and we have a black maternal morbidity crisis here
Black women are three times more likely to die in childbirth and so they're more likely to play Billy Zane
in the Phantom or the Phantom 2
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha
Here's, by the way, the truth.
Maternal mortality actually is higher among black females.
It is!
That is true.
Yeah, that's not good.
That's true.
But I love how on the left they go, oh, correlation doesn't equal causation.
Well, the good news is with something like this, you can check this out pretty quickly.
You can look and say, okay, is it just because there are a bunch of doctors who secretly are killing black women and giving them worse care?
Or, when it comes to health, health is the easiest sort of, it's one of the easiest areas often, as it relates to diseases and mortality rates, to cross-reference and see where there's some kind of a similarity or overlap.
So, it's true, they do die at higher rates, black women.
But there are several other comorbidities that are related to what they call maternal mortality rates.
And that means, you know, mothers who die or die during birth, okay?
There are other factors that contribute outside of just racism, racism, racism.
Let's look at them.
Some of the highest contributing factors to maternal mortality, and just how much more highly black women suffer from them.
So heart disease failure, that's the number one reason.
Right, for maternal mortality.
Black women suffer from that at two times the rate of white women.
Hypertension is a severe comorbidity, a complication, with pregnancy and birth.
They suffer that at 1.67 times that of white women.
Hematologic disorders, four times that of white women.
Four times that of white women.
Then you can go down the list, things like diabetes.
There are health issues that, yes, affect black women that would contribute to... So, for example, if you look at, you know, a hematologic disorder, okay, four times that of white women.
But the overall maternal mortality rate is 2.5 that of white women with black women.
Also, by the way, why is it three and a half times that of Hispanic women?
Hispanic women live in poverty here.
A lot of Hispanic women don't have access to, you know, the Yale hallway health insurance, whatever it is that Hillary Clinton has, I have no idea.
So heart disease failure, double.
Hypertension, almost double.
Uh, hematologic disorders, meaning we're talking about things that would affect the blood, four times that of white.
Diabetes, you're talking about several multiples.
And by the way, these tragic, of course, outcomes Are the results several things.
First off, genetics.
They do play a role.
Things like anemia.
Yeah, that's true.
Sickle cell is something that doesn't affect white people.
That's not a huge contributing factor, but I'm just using this as an example to say that claiming there's no difference between races doesn't do anybody any good.
And then, yeah, some poor health choice.
Some poor health choices.
Yeah.
So my wife, as a nurse, she's worked with patients at different stages, right?
People who have to make changes or die, or people that just need to make changes to make a better... Yeah, exactly.
Not you, Dave.
Or make their life a little bit better.
And she says this, you can't force somebody to take care of themselves.
And this is one of those things that you just don't factor that in, that people are going to make poor health decisions.
You can't just say, pull on the heartstrings of people and say, black women will die.
Ah, there, it's racist.
We can kind of shoehorn that in.
It's racist for a black judge to agree that the state should have the right to determine what's going to happen.
And not try to actually solve it.
And people buy it.
Well, so many stupid people out there are just looking for that angle.
They're looking for racism to play a part in everything.
Well, they use it as an excuse for everything.
I wouldn't call people stupid, though.
They're just buying what's being sold to them all the time, which is this constant thing, this constant thing of racism.
Everything is racist, racist, racist.
And it's just being sold to you by the news constantly.
By the mainstream media.
You go, is there any accountability at some point?
In other words, the accountability here is with the media.
They go, black women!
Maternal mortality!
Okay, alright.
Why?
Well, because they have all these other health conditions.
Things like heart disease, things like obesity, things like diabetes, things like hypertension.
Yeah, why?
Because of racism!
Why would that be?
Because they, uh, for a while they would say, food deserts!
Now people can order their food online.
Uh, it's because, uh, healthy food is more expensive.
That's not true.
I'm sorry, that's not true.
I won't hear it, that is not true.
You can eat very healthily for inexpensive here in this country.
It's not true.
When I was at my absolute poorest is when I was at my healthiest because I had every
single meal measured down to the gram because I didn't know when my next paycheck was coming
in.
I didn't have time to eat crap.
Is it true that it's a lot easier if you're poor to go to Taco Bell?
Sure.
Is that any cheaper than a bowl of oats with some walnuts or a glass of milk or baby food
or fruit on sale?
No, it's not.
It's not.
It's cheaper to get some canned tuna at home, mix it with, I mean, eat it plain, eat some sardines, eat some oats.
It's not fun!
But it's cheaper, and you can do it.
And by the way, we're seeing this with Latino women who are poor.
They tend to cook at home more.
And by the way, they also have weight problems, but they don't have a lot of these other health problems.
So you can't say racism if it doesn't apply to every race that's non-white.
Because you've also said that we were racist against Latinos, right, when we're dealing with the border issue.
You've also said that we were racist against Asians when we talked about, my god, COVID actually coming from I think Asia!
And now it's just, well, no, no, discount all of them, it's just racist against black people.
At any point is there some personal responsibility if you have all of these health problems at a disproportional rate, which leads to maternal mortality.
Where is there accountability that doesn't stop at me, the white guy, or the white woman, or the taxpayer, being racist?
Right.
And where is this person's video from five years ago, ten years ago, three years ago?
Right.
Because this problem isn't new.
Having a higher mortality rate for mothers in the black community is not a new thing.
Have you been campaigning against this for a long time?
Because as you said, thousands of women are going to die.
So why weren't you trying to save them before if you really do care, or if this is just a convenient argument for you right now?
And by the way, there are solutions out there when it comes to maternal mortality.
Just like I was talking yesterday, I don't believe that in 2022, no one knows about That anybody doesn't know about contraception.
I'm sorry, I don't care if you're the poorest white person from the hills of West Virginia, or if you are from Englewood, California.
I'm sorry, I don't believe that you don't know what a rubber is.
I don't believe that you don't know what contraception is.
I just don't buy it.
I may be wrong.
Statistically, I'm not.
Just like I don't buy in today that, oh, it's a food desert and there's no way for you to possibly get food that's healthy or get some exercise.
Maybe you can't afford a gym membership.
You can go outside.
You know where I trained when I lived in Simi Valley and I was house-sitting?
The park.
It was push-ups and dips and finding a heavy log and doing squats out in the woods.
Where, by the way, I found that there were black widows and then I ended up getting stick legs.
It didn't work out.
It'll help you run, though.
Yeah.
You see one of them?
Oh, it'll help you run.
More of a leap.
Yes.
I had a vertical that, you know, I out-punted my racial coverage.
Yes.
I used to taunt bears.
Yes.
Something you also can't say is that people don't have access to education by googling something or looking online to find information.
So when you get pregnant, one of the first things that you tend to do is to say, Oh, I need to take care of myself in a little bit different way than maybe smoking a pack of parliaments a day.
I've got to make some changes in my life.
It would be cool.
It would be pools, parliaments, Chamberlains, whatever courts you can go in there.
You can go online and find a lot of this information out on what you need to do.
In California, I don't normally extol the virtues of a decision made by people in California.
But they got this one right!
Right.
Now, they cut their mortality rate in half.
The maternal mortality rate.
The maternal mortality rate was cut in half primarily by educating people on two issues.
Preeclampsia and doctors, what they need to do with that.
Nurses, when somebody comes in.
My wife and I educated ourselves on that.
It's literally a matter of minutes to save your baby's life.
It's scary.
It's very, very scary.
But there's a lot of things that you can do to help prevent that.
And also, hemorrhaging.
What to do if there's hemorrhaging.
Those two issues.
That's all they did was educate people on that and it cut it in half.
What was the first one you said?
Preeclampsia.
Preeclampsia.
Explain that for people who don't know.
Preeclampsia is where the baby's head actually, after the mom's water is broken, the baby can come down and actually push on the cord and cut off the circulation to the baby, right?
And so that can be a very dangerous situation.
Literally what we were told.
So we were ready, and I was ready to do this, and the doctor kind of laughed at us.
It's called an Epstein of the womb.
Yeah, exactly.
If preeclampsia had happened, the first thing the woman needs to do, and again, you can find this in two minutes Google searching this.
The woman needs to get on in a vertical head down position as quickly as possible.
And if that still doesn't solve it, we got a fetal heart monitor that was, I think, 60 bucks just because we were at a higher risk, right?
Yeah.
And literally, and this sounds gross.
If you're having to save your baby's life because it's not working, you literally put your hand in and push.
And you've called an ambulance.
Because it's minutes.
It's four or five minutes, most likely, that you have to save your child's life.
And the hemorrhaging, by the way, goes back to you're far more likely to hemorrhage If you have hypertension, if you have issues that relate to, you know, if you have anemia.
If you don't take good care of yourself.
If you have a lot of disorders, yes.
So, you're talking about education as it revolves, as it relates specifically to these instances of giving birth.
But we're also talking about carrying.
Absolutely.
And what makes a huge difference.
If your doctor is not asking you about your diet and exercise first, and giving you prescriptions, you need a new doctor.
You need a new doctor.
That is what needs to be taught in this country across the board.
And then you get into specificity.
I'm not saying that drugs don't serve a purpose.
I'm not saying that some people don't need some help because, like I just said, there are genetic confounding factors here.
Contributing factors here.
That being said, diet and exercise is still, that is the engine, the transmission of the car.
Like you said, California got this right.
They started educating people.
References available at lineofcreditor.com.
Also, while we're talking about this, what matters?
How about we educate people regarding the success of the baby after they're born?
And no, no, no, I don't just mean free stuff here, free school, free internet, free everything.
70% of black children are born outside of wedlock right now.
Only 50% of Hispanic, but it's still significantly higher than the white community.
And that is, by the way, the single biggest contributing factor to poverty, to crime, to being mentally well-adjusted, to having successful relationships of your own, are mommy and daddy in the house together.
That is.
You could dump $18 trillion tomorrow into our educational system, and it would not make a dent compared to having more dads in the homes.
Yeah, absolutely, and that's about unwanted pregnancies, right?
So if you're having a child outside of wedlock, a lot of times that increases the chances that it was an unwanted experience, and we never talk about that.
We never talk about what is happening in communities that we can have an impact on just by educating people, not shaming Not pointing our finger and wagging it at them and saying, we're better than you.
That's not what anybody is saying.
All we're saying is, hey, this will go better for you if you apply these principles and this little bit of knowledge that you have access to, and it will change people's lives.
You think that's going to go over well with the fat private land whale activists?
No, of course not.
Hey, you know what?
You know, you can reduce your chance of coronary heart disease.
By what?
By losing weight?
I didn't say it!
Say it.
I want to hear you say it.
Finish that phrase.
No, I'm just a doctor.
I mean, chopping off a limb.
Can we stand protest and block vitamin D from the sun with an umbrella?
Yes!
Yes.
I would love to see you out there standing.
Our teacher arm fat will block out the sun!
I can't believe they held an umbrella that well.
Unbelievable.
They more so brace it against the sun.
That's true.
So every time you do... Like a fishing rod out there in the...
Deep sea.
Every time you hear these arguments and you don't hear them also saying these things that can save people's lives, they don't care about you.
Right.
They want your vote.
They want you scared.
They are not trying to save your life.
Otherwise, they would be preaching this stuff 24-7 and they're not.
They want the opposite.
They want you dead so they can get your vote.
Well, that's true.
That's true as well.
Look, let's follow the simple logic here.
I mean, it's true though.
They want to scare the crap out of you.
They also want your vote because they'll pretend you're alive.
They want your vote twice!
That would never happen.
Allegedly.
It would never ever happen.
They would never interfere with the safest and most secure votes of Joe Louis in the 2022 election.
Yes, I didn't stare at an intersection in Detroit that voted.
He didn't stop by a red box that had 19 ballots dropped off in it.
Didn't happen.
Really?
That's not a movie.
19 votes and the best of Val Kilmer, Criterion Edition.
Wow.
That's an anthology that I need.
The Salton Sea, well that was underrated.
I did like that.
So I think it is important if we even just look at, let's use their simple stereotype.
I'm not saying this is true, but they go, the Republicans are the party of the rich.
Now that's not really true anymore.
The saint!
Sorry.
Fantastic, I celebrate that.
The Republican Party, it's the party of the rich!
We now know it's the party of the working class, but it's the party of the rich.
That's their base.
Okay.
The Democrats are the party of the poor.
Let's just use that logic.
Then, if it's true, it's not, wouldn't the Republican Party, the conservative movement, it would require that you be rich!
Because they need a base!
And it would require the party of the boar!
Remain poor!
Now, the truth is, the conservative wing is a wing of optimism.
It only works if you understand the evil that is human nature, but you believe in a better future for yourself.
You believe that you can make it.
You believe that you can move up through the social class system, where there is no more class mobility than here in the United States.
It doesn't really exist in Europe, or at least it certainly didn't until the last 50 years.
You believe that you can Decide what's best for your family.
You believe that you can move into a better area.
And the liberal wing has to deny the evil nature of humanity.
That all people are inherently good.
That being said, all people are inherently helpless.
You can't get healthier.
It's because you're black.
You can't get ahead.
You can't expect to get 100 cents on the dollar.
Only 77.
It's because you're a woman.
You're being mistreated because you're LGBTQ AIP.
One, the right, has to acknowledge the evil of humanity.
That's the dark side of it.
You have to acknowledge that human beings are inherently selfish and flawed.
That's why you cannot be yoked to them, but you have to believe that you can achieve better
for yourself.
And one has to deny the evil of humanity so that you can all be yoked together, because
who would want to be yoked with evil?
So you deny that, but then you also have to remain hopeless.
Because gimme gimme, government.
I need, I need.
You need to see that is the two different worldviews.
And you see it when we go through all these stories, whether it's Clarence Thomas, whether it's Roe v. Wade, whether it's black maternal mortality.
Take your pick.
That is the constant through line, and you do have to decide where you line up.
There is no fence sitting here, because then you just end up Vlad the Impaled.
Now, we're going to go to Mug Club and play What's in the Box, which we could never play here on YouTube with Thomas Finnegan.
Dave and I, ladderwithcrowder.com slash tour, Houston, September 17th at the Smart Financial Center in Sugar Land and Charleston, West Virginia, October 8th is the Charleston Coliseum.
These are like 5,000 seat vents.
The Coliseum!
Let's go, West Virginia!
Looking at you, baby.
Let's get some... I said to Gabe William, I was like, there's no way, there's no one there.
West Virginia!
I was like, there's no one there.
He goes, trust me.
Trust me.
And now he's like, look, told you.
And it started filling up quickly.
I was like, oh man, I didn't realize that there was anyone there.
I only watched that episode of Wild Boys and I thought it was a bunch of guys with bottles of wild turkey and ATVs.
So, hey, you know what?
Color my face red.
