Did Red State Kansas JUST Vote to Kill Babies?! | Louder with Crowder

Time Text
I just hope we have another one of those, another one of those Supreme Court victories
so that AOC can get fake arrested.
How many of us were just hoping that that fake arrest turned into a real arrest?
I don't need a handcuffs.
I was like, alright sweetheart, watch your head as you go into the paddy wagon.
Oh no!
I'm sorry!
Now your other eye is googly.
How will we know who you're screeching at?
I'm sorry, let's try this again.
Oh no, I'm sorry!
It chipped a mule tooth.
I'm sure they can fix it up at the feed store.
I'm just not ready to have to take care of another human being.
It's not your fault.
It's the man's fault.
It's not my responsibility.
New York, Baltimore.
The Rebels With a Cause Comedy Tour.
Tickets on sale now at louderwithcrowder.com slash tour.
I'm just not ready to have to take care of another human being.
It's not your fault, it's the man's fault.
It's not my responsibility.
A baby is not the mother's responsibility, baby.
I just want to make sure that I'm making the right decision, you know?
Because I'm so young, and I've got my whole life ahead of me, and I wasn't trying to do this, and it's stupid.
Yeah, baby, it's not your fault that you let a man in you.
So, I should go back to being selfish?
Yes.
Be a selfish woman.
Get rid of your baby.
Plus, it's kind of...not...cute.
Yeah, you got an ugly pre-meat bearded baby.
It doesn't cry.
I think it has Asperger's.
That's gonna be even more expensive.
You're right.
Special schools?
You gotta get rid of it.
Just throw it in the stupid baby river.
Alright.
You're right.
Yeah, there you go.
He doesn't even cry.
I think he has Asperger's.
Kick it!
Go on!
Kick the baby!
Kick the baby basket!
You're free now!
See, puppy?
It's having a great time going down the river.
He's not even scared.
Right.
This was the right choice.
I know it was the right choice.
I wouldn't steer you wrong.
If he's wrong, he's dead.
He's dead.
I'm going to reach out my own best self, own best tale you'd write.
I'll go away, I'll go away.
Well pick me up with golden hands, own best self, own best tale you'd write.
I'll go away, I'll go away.
Oh, oh, oh.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Yeah!
One man's trash.
Got a new slave, everybody.
Got a new slave.
You ever catch a slave this big, Frank?
No, you didn't.
New slave, right here.
Oh, well.
Let's get out of here.
Why don't you cry?
You have Asperger's?
DriverScout.com!
DriverScout.com!
You're a strange animal, that's what I know.
You're a strange animal, I got to follow.
I'm gonna speed it up.
You noticed that was a hollow sip until because I didn't know how hot it was going to be?
The answer's too hot.
You were faking it.
Everything's going to- stop it.
This is a family show.
Now, we, uh, have a lots to get to today.
My fever broke, uh, last night completely, so I'm good.
You slept well, huh?
You know what's funny?
Two things can be true.
I had one COVID positive, one COVID negative, and another COVID positive.
I would gladly take this over any kind of a cold or flu that I've had.
It's just the fever and the fatigue.
Let me know, you know what, comment below.
Before we get to anything, if you've had COVID recently, this is the second time that I've had it, and they've both been very mild.
But I also know it's not pleasant.
Sometimes people are like, oh yeah, you don't want to wear a mask, did you get COVID?
Did you like it?
No, no.
I'm not saying that it's fun.
I'm just saying that you don't shut down the economy and ruin our country for an entire generation because of it.
It's still unpleasant.
Two things can be true.
As a matter of fact, you would almost assume those things to be true.
All right.
Today we have a lot to talk about.
Demi Lovato.
Girl again.
But more importantly, Kansas, speaking of girls and lesbians who for some reason have an incredibly vested interest in abortion.
Kansas just had a vote on abortion.
They're still going to allow abortion.
Spoiler alert.
Up until 22 weeks.
Oh!
Five and a half months!
The horror!
This is just like pre-suffragette!
And then we'll also talk about something that, you know, is kind of near and dear to my heart, the Senate burn pit bill.
You know, people have been talking about how it's kind of been coined for veterans.
It's been misrepresented, of course, and it's been used as political football because Jon Stewart decided to show up and insult some people.
So we're talking about that today, and also hopefully kind of walking you through a logical exercise.
When something doesn't pass a sniff test, like the burn pit bill, Why?
Hopefully you'll learn how to ask some questions and find the answers, and we'll make all of our references available.
Gerald A. is with me.
You good, sir?
I'm doing well.
How are you?
I'm doing fine now.
I didn't sleep, but the fever broke, and now I'm good.
So hopefully I'll be fine tomorrow.
And you know him, you love him, I'll be on tour with him, loudearthquaker.com.
Phoenix, Arizona, September 16th at the Arizona Financial Theater.
Houston on September 17th.
These are the first ones here.
Only a little more than a month away, so get your tickets.
And then Charleston, West Virginia.
That's like an arena.
October 8th at the Charleston Coliseum.
Livewithcredit.com.
Dave Landau, how are you?
Ahoy, good.
How about you, sir?
I'm doing better.
You were sick too, but you had like a sinus infection.
That's what I have.
I'm on antibiotics.
I'm feeling a little bit better today.
Well, what you have to do is take those little inside tip probiotics.
That's what I hear.
But I don't.
Wait, what?
I had someone tell me to take probiotics because, you know, antibiotics.
Sorry if you have children.
Antibiotic-induced diarrhea.
And so I went to the pharmacist.
I said, you know, they told me to get some probiotics.
They said, this is the right one.
And it was the closest I ever came to crapping my pants as an adult.
I went home and I checked it.
It was 80 billion CFUs of pro-regularity.
Oh, the probiotics.
Just make a nice Metamucil shake.
Yes, exactly.
Enjoy yourself.
Eat an entire wicker swing set.
Prune juice.
You're good.
So, my question before we move on.
Rigorous abortion laws.
Do you think if they turned conservatives against each other, Republicans against each other, a lot of people are saying this is a losing issue?
I don't see it, as we'll talk about Kansas.
But before we do any of that, we always love going to our favorite state.
And by that, I mean the worst state.
It's time for New York Empire State of Crime Watch.
Hey, did we change Dave's monitor?
Because I can't see his lovely face.
We had to lower the mic because we couldn't see my face on the screen.
Oh, okay.
But yeah, we did change it.
Well, now I can't see the wonderful pedophile stache.
Hey!
Oh no, this is not... It's a compliment.
It's the highest compliment one can give a stache.
It's true.
It's true.
No, it's okay.
You don't need to change it there, Casey.
It's fine.
It's fine.
I can see the top of his head.
He can look like Wilson.
That's right, Billy.
Avoid homosexuals.
Yes.
That's how you avoid monkey pox.
Yes.
Follow these simple steps.
Number one, don't engage in sodomy with strange men.
Number two, congratulations.
You've avoided monkey pox.
Yes.
Good job.
All right.
Speaking of monkey pox, we're here in New York.
They need more vaccine.
Yeah, hotbed.
And by New York, they mean Chelsea.
They mean about eight square blocks.
There you go.
Targeted.
It is the east side right there.
Yeah.
So, uh, can we just, if law enforcement didn't already have enough of a tough job in New York, uh, thugs in the street, and I think this happened yesterday, if I'm not mistaken, uh, making it harder, of course.
Here you go.
the Wouldn't you just assume they were filming Death Wish 5 if
you walked by this?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I knew it would sound like plastic.
A guy squaring off with a cop?
That's like a bear before hibernation, where they just don't care anymore.
Right.
There is no respect for the general sort of checks and balances of the police officer.
I mean, the mob doesn't hit cops.
No.
Well, not in that way.
No.
Even then, you put a whack on a cop, it's a big deal.
I saw Donnie Brosco.
Just think about that.
It's not that you see these people squaring up and hitting police officers.
What do you mean, these people?
I mean the people in that clip.
What did you mean?
Now, it's that there is no fear of retribution or accountability because of the catch-and-release programs, because of the kind of defunding that we've seen across the country.
They've been emboldened.
We've seen a crime wave in New York.
New York was like Disneyland for a while, and now we're back to the New York of old, where Jason Voorhees is going to show up.
I think we're past it, actually, at this point.
I don't know if it's ever been this bad.
You think it's worse than the 70s?
Honestly, kinda.
I mean, watch the beginning of Taxi Driver where he does his whole speech and you juxtapose it with that and tell me which scenery is worse.
At least he had a sweet hawk.
I don't see the first part.
I don't have enough time.
I abbreviate it.
What were you saying, Jeremy?
Well, it's also what happens when you make the police officers afraid to defend themselves because they could either be sued or they could, God forbid, something really bad could happen.
I mean, those guys' bottles are flying through the air, hitting a cop in the head with a bottle from 50 feet, 30 feet, 20 feet, whatever it is.
Could knock that cop down on the ground.
Could kill him.
It could do a lot of damage.
And so what's the appropriate response?
Well, what we've told police officers is just stand there and kind of take it.
Well, we don't want police officers to have guns.
Now, they do there, but they don't.
If the left again, you always have to think, what would the left have if they were completely unfettered?
No guns.
Okay.
Then they didn't want tasers.
We've covered that extensively.
They didn't want cops to have tasers.
Then they don't want chokeholds.
Right.
What are you left with?
Yeah.
What do you respond to these people with?
Oh, you didn't have to tase this guy.
You didn't have to pull your gun on this guy.
He was just throwing glass bottles at you.
I don't know if it's a legal defense, but if I were a police officer, I would say, correct, I didn't have to.
But I felt like it.
But I did.
Go ahead.
Well, the guy squares off and the cop actually does the same thing right back at him.
That's terrifying.
It is.
The cop shouldn't.
I will say this.
This kind of pose from a cop can escalate it.
Yes.
You know, you don't want to do that.
First off, this exposes you and you're completely rigid and you're not really in a good self-defense stance.
Hope that they train police officers better.
You can deescalate it with your body language.
Nothing would have worked at that point when they were throwing their bottles of Mickey's.
So, um, I think, you know, a nice, nice few ass beatings being administered would be a feel-good ending.
Unfortunately, it didn't go down that way.
But, hey, if you want to see what the left gets, look to New York and Detroit.
But in this case, New York.
This has been Empire State of Crime Watch.
♪♪ You know, I just realized in that New York song,
Jay-Z effectively doxxes Robert De Niro.
Yeah.
Now I'm down in Tribeca, right next to De Niro.
He's like, come on!
That's what I meant!
Come on!
It's a walk-off!
People know where you live.
They look.
That's a problem.
Then they know where I live.
Then they know where I live.
You got a problem.
Yes, you do.
Yes, you do.
You have a problem.
Look at me.
You have a problem.
I had a ponytail for a while.
It wasn't good.
No.
Wasn't good.
Wasn't good.
It was me and Harrison Ford.
Had a meeting.
He went with the earrings.
I went with the ponytail.
We both made mistakes.
Earrings was worse.
Not monkey pox mistakes, but mistakes.
He's probably made some monkey pox mistakes, too.
Oh, I'm sure he has.
Meanwhile, Joe Pesci's just hiding out from the law.
I'll tell it on Mug Club.
I have a story about Joe Pesci where he wouldn't go to California because he didn't understand that you didn't need to be extradited if you just go to a different state.
It involves Ben Shapiro, Joe Pesci, and the LAPD.
Okay, now we'll move on to this.
Demi Lovato, I know you're saying that you don't care.
You do.
No, you don't.
But here's why it does matter, because this does relate to something that we've seen as a larger trend with kids wanting to transition.
When we were kids, right, we would follow a lot of these role models.
I mean, Demi Lovato, was she Nickelodeon or was she Disney?
I have no idea.
One of those pedophile networks, I don't know which one.
Yeah, she was touched by somebody.
Yes, exactly.
She's not an angel.
I said Disney twice.
Her parents left her unsupervised with a producer and multiple leather couches and a trailer.
Disney.
So, Demi Lovato now is saying that she's a girl again.
Remember, she changed her pronouns.
So let's give you the breakdown here, because we covered this back then.
Demi Lovato made this huge announcement regarding her pronouns, and it was absurd then as it is now.
I want to take this moment to share something very personal with you.
Over the past year and a half, I've been doing some healing and self-reflective work.
And through this work, I've had the revelation that I identify as non-binary.
With that said, I'll officially be changing my pronouns to they-them.
I feel that this best represents the fluidity of my gender expression and allows me to feel most authentic and true to the person I both know I am and still am discovering.
Oh, true to the person that she knows she is.
Knows.
Knows she is.
This is that key word because that would then classify that under the category of fact.
But facts change.
And by that, I mean, whatever it is that you want it to mean that day, because let's go to now.
She just announced that she's changed her identity again.
And it turns out that she's just a dumb broad.
I've actually adopted the pronouns of she her again.
So for me, I'm such a fluid person that I don't really... More gelatinous.
I don't find that I am... I'm kind of retarded.
Especially last year, my energy was balanced.
Did you iron your face?
So when I was faced with the choice of walking into a bathroom, and it said women and men, I didn't feel like there was a bathroom for me.
Because I didn't feel necessarily like a woman.
I didn't feel like a man.
I just felt like a human.
And that's what They Them is about for me.
It's just about like, What?
At your core?
Well, speaking of that, it's time for you to work it, sweetheart.
Also, I think it's important to note that you can't base your entire biology, and they want to say gender identity, but let's go back to the old school biology, based on where you want to take a dump.
Yeah.
Hmm.
She's like, ah, I didn't realize there wasn't a bathroom for me.
So what, you wanted to make a deposit in what determines a womanhood?
It's just, it's just so absolutely patronizing.
By the way, in other news, Elliot Page has changed his, her, Z's preferred pronouns now to both douche and bag.
So that is one.
Yeah, it's just, it's an epidemic of them changing.
Which one's the plural?
I'm not sure.
It doesn't matter.
I'm not sure.
So Demi Lovato has over 130 million Instagram followers, right?
130 million impressionable young minds that are paying attention to what you're saying.
And you came out last year and said that this was super important.
I know exactly what I am right now.
Now you come out and say, actually I feel like my energy is balanced.
I feel like I don't have a restroom.
That's the word I would use for her, balanced.
Yeah, exactly balanced.
Well-adjusted.
But here's the thing.
On her Instagram page right now, she still has they, them, she, and she added she, her.
She's a busy gal.
What she is doing now, and I can say she, but you could also say they, is including both sets of pronouns.
So now she has all of them.
Now, and I'm not, I swear to you, I'm not pushing anything on her saying that she's got history of mental illness.
She does.
She's been very open about that.
But given that that is something that she's talked about before, don't you think that you kind of walk with a little bit more caution into subjects like this before you push this out to your hundred million plus followers?
No, and it's not that she does that.
That's not the problem.
The problem is that the media treated it as absolutely legitimate when it happened, as opposed to asking the question that you are asking, which is a perfectly legitimate and a very important question.
And this is what it brings us to.
You know, give me an example.
When I was a kid, I was a little, I was a little, I was a little shit, okay?
Because of Captain Planet, you know, you used to do those PSAs, you said, don't wear fur.
Yeah.
And so my mom had this really nice expensive parka that she got off of this show when she was a wardrobe stylist, and it had fur on the hood, and I was like, I can't wear it, Mom, because it says, don't wear fur on Captain Planet.
I was like, but this is a nice is going to keep you warm when it's negative 30
We were in Montreal. Yeah, and I said no captain planet.
She got really mad. She's like, okay, okay I'll pick off the she did a really crappy job. So it looks
like a pubic hair beard So I still had remnants of the fur around my parka now take
that stupid influence where kids change their minds all the time
and Apply gender theory which is very new modern gender theory
to the mix And of course you can influence young children and even
more so when they don't just see someone who's on Nickelodeon someone who's on Disney
But they see everyone in legitimate media saying oh, yeah, this is a they them
This is a person who's gender fluid this matters because we've talked about this
More and more children are claiming that they're trans. But guess what?
87.5.
87% of kids grow out of it, completely.
They completely grow out of it if you don't do anything.
Keep in mind people like, I was about to say Ariana Grande.
Grande.
It's Demi Lovato.
They all sort of bleed together.
They do.
They will grow out of it if you don't intervene.
These same people were advocating for intervention, by the way.
There are people who actually believe that Child Protective Services should be able to take your kids away if you do not intervene.
If you do nothing, 87% of children grow out of it.
If you put them on puberty blockers, 0% grow out of it.
0%!
That is a very important statistic, considering that 42% of trans, non-binary individuals attempt suicide.
By the way, both pre- and post-transition.
So when you have these people going out there and acting as though this is established science, and you have social media platforms removing people, even episodes of this program!
Jordan Peterson removed from Twitter!
For not using the pronouns that Elliot Page will likely change within the next 20 years anyway.
It gives it legitimacy to kids because it makes it seem as though adults have decided on this.
And here's something we do know.
The FDA just announced that puberty blockers are dangerous.
For kids.
Things like brain swelling and vision loss.
That's a nice way of saying tumor.
Yeah, how do you fix brain swelling?
Drill into the side of the head.
Right, you drill.
Just make sure you die in the right bathroom.
Yep.
Well, that is important.
If you have to go to the bathroom, honestly, and I hate to go back to it, and you have to decide which one to go into, you don't have to go to the bathroom that bad.
I've gone into a ladies' room.
Yeah, I could be a felon, because if there's a mailbox nearby, everything's lost.
I've used buckets.
We've all been in situations where it's like, I have no choice.
I don't care what I feel like in certain moments, I'm using something that has a toilet.
You could have warned me, though, because then I went hitting mailboxes with my bat afterward.
It's that kind of a mailbox.
And I had the rear window open.
You make a great point.
These are impressionable people.
I have projectile diarrhea.
Let's go mailbox.
Let's get back to the important point.
We're children, but this is all very important.
I think that was the important part.
Yeah, exactly.
The children part is the important part.
There's a lot of people that made decisions, and I understand this.
There can be back and forth with people on this discussion, right?
I'm fine.
I don't really care what Demi Lovato chooses to do.
I care about what happens to the people who follow her and go, oh, that's fantastic, because all of the people around, like you said, said, oh, this is to be applauded, this is 100% normal.
She can go and basically transition Verbally.
Right.
She doesn't have to do anything.
We can't have a back-and-forth discussion, but they can have a back-and-forth switch of genders.
They can, but how many kids that follow Demi Lovato, how many people that are fans of Demi Lovato's music and will basically worship at the altar if Demi Lovato went out and said, well, I'm trans now, mom and dad, we need to talk about puberty blockers, or maybe I had a surgery, or think about how many people can't Go and do what she just did.
She just basically said, ah, you know, I think I'm gonna go this way now.
They're like, well, crap, I'm stuck on the ride already.
I think it's just a play.
She wants to be the new Cher, Madonna, Lady Gaga, and have all the gay fans.
But she may have no idea at all!
Well, the problem is, if you're supposed to embrace yourself, they do everything that opposes that.
Right.
It's like pretending you're everything else but you were born with.
How is that a good thing?
I love how we tell women, it's like, you don't need to look a certain way because society tells you.
I think that I'm a woman.
Okay, put on this makeup.
Put on this push-up bra.
Get some fake tits.
You know, it's like, hold on a second.
So when a guy decides that he wants to look like a Barbie doll to perpetuate the stereotype of a girl, it's beautiful and brave.
But we tell girls that they should go out, you know, in flood pants and no makeup.
Which, by the way, is also a problem.
Keep in mind, the UK Children's Gender Identity Clinic, it's now closing.
I guess you would say the largest are certainly at the forefront of this, and they've been advocating and spearheading this.
It's closing after doctors did raise concerns that children were being referred to this gender transitioning pathway way too quickly.
The number went from like 100 something a few years ago to 5,000.
Combine that with brain swelling.
Combine that with vision loss.
Look, we all know.
We all know that this is bad for you.
This is the issue.
The left says follow the science.
Is this the waiting room from Beetlejuice?
Pancake Robin Williams going by on the clothesline.
And I should note, the UK is opening new clinics and stuff, so they're going to offset it.
It's like, you know, it's like cock and offsets.
That's what they're doing.
So the issue here is really that we know it's bad for you.
They say trust the science.
Well, okay.
Why are you eating organic food?
Why are you using BPA-free plastic?
Why are you careful about what you put in the microwave?
Because it might upset your endocrine system.
That's the primary reason.
These are what we call xenoestrogens, right?
People talk about, you don't want these, they put hormones in the milk.
Why would that be bad for you?
If the science is out, when you inject estrogen directly into a little boy's ass cheek, or you give a little girl testosterone so she grows a mustache at 12 years old, why would we care about hormones in Horizon milk?
There's no consistency.
And we say, well, the science is out.
The science really isn't out.
For full-grown women who get breast cancer, for full-grown women who are going through problems with metastasis, what do they do?
Right away they put them on some sort of estrogen blocker, some aromatase inhibitor, to sort of stop that negative feedback loop.
Because we know that it's pro-cancer.
We know that it can create an environment, foster an environment where cancer grows more rapidly, and even worse in young men.
But we don't know!
The only reason, this is a sleight of hand, okay?
The only reason they can get away with saying that is because this is new, and it's experimental, and we don't have the long-term studies on children taking these drugs.
We do know what happens to adults who alter their hormones beyond biologically normal levels.
It's not good.
We've known it for a long time.
There are plenty of long-term studies and more clinical data than you can read in a lifetime.
Just saying.
We don't have it on children.
I'm sure the outcome will be much better.
By the way, if we're removed here on YouTube, you can watch us live Monday through Thursday 10 a.m.
Eastern on Rumble.
You can subscribe to the podcast, the audio podcast on Spotify, Apple, Android.
Of course, Mug Club.
We have an additional full hour of show today.
And it's Parody Week!
The last week of August, first week of September, and that'll be released as an album on Spotify.
All of our parodies.
I can't wait.
Alright, anyone have anything else there in Lovato?
No, I'm as confused as ever.
So are 130 some odd million people, Dave.
Well, I'm just glad that she knows who he is.
She's being true to himself.
She knows who they is.
They is, I'm sorry.
So now let's go to Kansas.
And this is something that's trending everywhere.
It is confusing.
It needn't be so confusing.
Let me just set the stage.
Marley was dead to begin with.
Okay.
Abortion is still the same.
It's basically as though Roe v. Wade never happened in Kansas.
And this is the same in a lot of states, just to be really clear about it.
And I want you to comment below what it is that you've read on this, and if you found yourself a little bit confused.
The way they framed this bill was very confusing.
Yeah, no kidding.
And where do you line up?
If you are pro, you know, the change of Roe v. Wade, or if you're pro-abortion, What do you think about this?
What do you think about the vote on the individual state level?
Because I'm not going to start a march or a protest.
Kansas can do what they want to do.
I agree.
It's a crappy state anyway.
So, August 2nd, Kansas became the first state.
Two votes.
Tornadoes.
Yeah.
That's about it.
Bring you to weird places.
Made a movie about you and it was a witch getting killed by a tornado dropping a house.
Well, Kansas City isn't even there.
I mean, they have one there.
It's the lesser Kansas City.
It's cut in half.
It doesn't make any sense.
What are you guys doing?
It's like East St.
Louis is not really St.
Louis.
It's in Illinois.
I got stranded there one time on a crappy old Taurus.
East St.
Louis.
The ones that didn't have working windshield wipers?
Well, East St.
Louis is the city.
No, I thought you meant the crappy Taurus.
All right.
So, this happened August 2nd.
Kansas became the first state to vote directly on the right to abortion in the post-Roe world.
Hold on a second.
No apocalypse yet.
We'll keep you posted.
Before we go to this clip on Kansasians discussing their opinions on this bill, I don't understand why lesbians are so concerned with abortion.
If they say straight men, heterosexual men, are certainly affected by abortion more than lesbians.
So, as I play this clip, let's also play a little game called Spot the Lesbian.
Let's roll it.
It was kind of intimidating, I'm not gonna lie, but I'm glad I got to partake in this.
Well, actually it was my first time voting too, so I felt like it made a big impact, and I just wanted to be able to help people that maybe are younger and don't really understand what's going on for when they grow up.
I don't think I should have to be coming up here and voting on that.
That should be my right.
But others voted yes.
I want to do what God would have us to do.
And I don't want to be influenced by the course of this world.
A few voters based their choice on religion.
Pro-life lady with her husband.
Black lady.
That surprised the reporter.
I don't believe that abortion should be in the hands of a person.
A person should... Life is created by God.
He is the only one that has the right to bring life or take life.
I voted no because if God gives us the right to choose between good and evil and right and wrong, I think that we should have the ability for that same choice.
Okay, let me just address that really quickly, that last part.
This is where the abortion arguments fall apart.
You know, we do these Change My Minds on a lot of topics.
Everything from Build a Wall, Donald Trump is not a fascist, I am pro-Second Amendment.
The easiest one, honestly, is abortion.
Because it falls apart.
Now, regardless of where someone lines up, there is a very difficult path to an argument for people like that to make.
That last lady, seems like a nice lady in the mask, the black lady, she said, uh, it's only for God to judge.
Well, sure.
We understand what you mean.
Ultimate judgment.
But, hold on a second.
Is it?
Are you saying that it's taking a life?
If so, we go back to question one.
Do we have laws for murder?
Do you believe that only God can judge for grand theft auto?
For arson?
For murder?
No, it doesn't hold water.
You do have to answer whether you believe the act is the termination of a life or not.
And they always avoid it.
Yeah.
In their justification.
So, now, the votes are in.
I think we have a clip.
Kansas voters, the first to vote on an abortion-related ballot measure since the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade.
And frankly, that ruling proved energizing for Kansans who did not want the state constitutional right to an abortion to be undone by the amendment.
It was a state Supreme Court ruling that put that in place.
The amendment itself would not ban abortion, but it would have set the stage for legislative oversight.
All right.
To be clear, Kansas is an overwhelmingly red state, so it surprised a lot of people.
Abortion is still legal in Kansas, just, you know, up until 22 weeks.
It's five and a half months.
Right.
All right.
Are we really going to act as though this is Handmaid's Tale?
If you're Stephen King, that's pretty much it.
At the very end of his quote, he said this wouldn't have made it illegal, it would have just put the power to do that in the hands of the state legislature, not necessarily in the hands of the Supreme Court.
That's all this was, and it was an incredibly confusing vote.
If you read the ballot, you would have had to take some time to make sure, because the way that they worded it, Made you wonder, like, I don't know what is what.
Now, at the bottom, they said, if you vote yes, this is what it means, if you vote no, but I understand human nature, and they're not gonna read... It's like what they did with Prop 8 in California.
Well, they used double negatives, and then they go, yes or no, and you're like, I don't understand.
Then they quoted the Constitution in there, and I'm like, why did you add that?
I get that it's relevant.
Put it down in a quote below all of this so that they can see it separately.
It's like, did anybody, like, did anybody test this?
Oh, you were expecting it to not be nonsensical.
Should you have the right to kill babies?
Yes or no?
Basically the idea was would they have the right to have restrictions like Texas that would come into play before the, that wouldn't have been allowed before the overturning.
I'm getting confused just even saying it.
Before Roe v. Wade you couldn't put in limitations only in the first trimester.
After Roe v. Wade you can.
For example, a heartbeat bill in Kansas, basically the state legislature cannot put any restrictions on it.
Still, abortion.
Kansas, up until 22 weeks, that's five and a half months.
For reference, Kansas, a red state, it became a destination state for abortion tourism in 2020.
It's up 9% by the way, after their Supreme Court's decision.
And by the way, this abortion tourism was almost entirely from people, they were traveling from Texas and Oklahoma to Kansas.
One of the quotes that I read actually said that about 50% of abortions in Kansas were from people out of state.
That's insane.
So the left's next cause du jour.
Remember we went from abortion safe, legal, and rare?
At first it started with abortion, rape, and incest.
Then they said safe, legal, and rare.
Then it became shout your abortion.
Now it's wait, hold on a second, you have to pay as a taxpayer to send people across state lines to get abortion.
That's what they want you to have to subsidize.
There's never going to be an end to it.
Just look at what happens with the gender bender.
You give them an inch, they're never going to stop.
It's why you don't apologize.
Whether you agree with some of their points or not, you just have to say, eh, no, because sooner or later you're going, wait a second, I'm paying for people to travel to Panama to get an abortion at nine months.
How the hell did that happen?
Abortion B&B, the new app.
Yes.
Bermuda abortion.
So let's go through a couple of things here just that will confuse you.
Here's a claim that they are making.
The Democrat governor of Kansas, Laura Kelly, she said, this would throw the state back into the dark ages.
Talking about, you know, the idea if the bill won't have gone through.
Legislators in Topeka with no medical training have no right to make a woman's medical decision.
It must go to the angry lesbians!
Who have no medical training.
Let's go take a poll of those with mullets at Bass Pro.
If you use a turkey baster, you've made the choice to have a kid.
Right.
Yeah.
Yes.
No, I'm not just being honest.
No, of course.
Why would you get pregnant and then be like, I want an abortion for fun?
I just like to have it.
I like to have it for peace of mind, Dave.
Well, by the way, sorry.
I'm sorry.
It must be nice to be cis male.
I don't grant the premise.
It's not, though.
Not anymore.
This is not a medical decision.
No.
This is not a purely medical decision.
This isn't you deciding to have maybe some additional pounds removed or maybe have a facelift or butt implants for those of us not blessed like you are, Stephen, right?
I told you that in private.
This is you deciding to end a life.
That is not a private medical decision.
Is it also a private medical decision to get vaccinated or not?
Yeah.
Do you want to hold the same standard?
We've brought that up before.
I don't think you do.
By the way, all the references are available at LinusKrader.com so you can read the amendment itself.
And like I said, up to 22 weeks.
But something else that's funny, you know what appears there?
The words pregnant people.
I know I saw that.
That's how you know assholes wrote this.
Women and also pregnant people.
Pregnant people must undergo a 24 hour waiting period.
The guy who writes Calvin Klein ads.
Right.
Pregnant person.
You a pregnant man?
Yes.
This doesn't exactly sound like the Dark Ages, Laura.
Let me ask you two, here's a question that I have.
How much money was spent, you know, to preserve the right to kill babies here?
$5.8 million in television, radio, digital ads.
They were spent by the Kansans for constitutional freedom to preserve their right.
Planned Parenthood, $850,000.
Look, here's something I want to talk about really quickly.
I was talking with someone about this the other day.
Men and women have different problems in society.
Okay?
I acknowledge that.
And I think at one point it would be okay to acknowledge that because men and women are different.
Now, I've talked about this in the past.
When you're a kid, people say, boys are smarter than girls, girls are smarter than boys.
Okay.
Here's the truth.
There are probably more women who are, on average, slightly smarter than men.
If you look at the IQ, there's a way the bell curve works.
However, men occupy, because we are extreme creatures, we're extremist beasts by nature, they occupy both ends of the bell curve.
So even if there are more smart women, let's say, on average, than men, at a certain point, there are only male geniuses.
Statistically.
At a certain point, though, on the flip side, there are only male repeat violent offenders.
Okay, that's the problem that we usually have with males in society.
The problems that we have with women.
The problem that most women are dealing with.
And I think this is why conservative women have such a disconnect.
Because we have three, four women who are working out here now.
I know they wouldn't relate to this.
Feminism appealed to the idea with women that you should never have to experience discomfort.
That's how you end up with abortion up to five and a half weeks.
They say, well, are you against my choice?
No, hold on a second.
I'm pro-choice, abstinence, contraception, motherhood, adoption.
What do they say?
Well, I hope you never have to put up a baby for adoption.
That's a really tough choice.
I'm not saying that it's a comfortable choice, but you did make a choice to have sex, assuming it's not rape or incest, which in nearly every case it's not.
Now you have a choice to give up the baby for adoption as opposed to terminating that life.
The only reason that you think that's wrong is because there's this assumption that you are entitled to not be uncomfortable in any capacity.
Same thing with women getting the right to vote.
Well, women got the right to vote, but you didn't have to be drafted.
Why?
Well, you shouldn't have to experience any discomfort.
You had sex, you had a one-night stand, you weren't responsible enough to use a Plan B pill, you weren't responsible enough to use contraception.
You should be able to have an abortion.
Why?
Because you shouldn't have to experience the discomfort Of a baby.
And so, what you see is women have been promised.
They have been catered to.
They have been pandered to.
And it's insulting.
Women.
You let me know.
Comment below if you find it insulting.
That you shouldn't possibly have to deal with discomfort.
We see this in relationships.
80%.
The lowest number you'll find is 76.
The number I believe from... I don't know if it was... I don't know if it was NIH.
I don't know if it was the CDC.
Number of divorces in this country right now.
80% are filed by women.
Okay?
Domestic abuse has gone down.
Cheating has gone down.
Over 70% of women listed as their primary reason for divorce a lack of commitment on the man's part.
We have no fault divorce laws, which means it's always the primary earners.
Yes, you can ask Jeeves.
Usually that's the male.
So you shouldn't have to experience slight discomfort if you go and read on feminist
blogs.
Type in right now, run a Google, run a Bing, if you're on a public library, that old bent
back paper clip who pops up to tell you how to spell words correctly.
Ask Jeeves.
Yes, you can ask Jeeves.
Run a search, feminist blogs, women filing for divorce, and they will consider this a
win.
It's women today are far less likely to remain in unhappy relationships.
Well, we do.
You think that men aren't going through a private hell, women, sometimes in marriage?
Sometimes you make our life difficult.
But statistically, men don't walk nearly as much as women because we have never been promised the right to not experiencing discomfort.
That has never been a right, a promise, even a notion afforded to men.
And so women file 80% of divorces and they walk because they don't like the relationship and I shouldn't be uncomfortable in this relationship.
It's the same issue that we're dealing with with abortion.
And on the flip side, let's look at black Americans.
This is a really good kind of petri dish.
What do you have if you listen to black Americans?
They say, what are the primary problems with young men?
Gang violence, drugs.
Not all black Americans.
It is a disproportionate problem, though, in specifically impoverished black neighborhoods.
Women?
Baby mamas who don't work.
We're on the welfare dole.
So, in one example, it's, you shouldn't have to be uncomfortable, so live off of the government teat for the rest of your life.
In the other, it's men, you are promised nothing, so do whatever it takes.
Start selling drugs, join a gang, because it's sink or swim on your own.
This is the primary divide that we see between men and women.
Men have never been promised the idea that you will never experience discomfort.
That is, if you look at any feminine issue, anyone, take a pick, pick one, abortion.
Free tampons.
You shouldn't have to go through this discomfort of purchasing your own tampons.
You shouldn't have to go through the discomfort.
Whatever it is!
That's a problem.
And it's been used to buy your votes.
And it's harmed women.
And you know what?
You can scream until you're blue in the face and say, yeah, well, we need to reconcile what's happened in the past and we need to make sure that there's justice today for women in the past who didn't have as many rights.
Well, okay, you know what?
Just don't expect to get married because 40-something percent of young men don't want to get married because they see it as an inequitable distribution.
That's it!
You've got a choice to make.
Women are less happy than ever.
I wish my Roomba loved me.
Your Roomba does love you.
less, fewer household chores than ever because it's been more automated, they're making more
money than ever, and they are less happy than ever statistically. Because they will never
catch that dragon they are chasing of a life completely devoid of discomfort.
There you go, that's the end of my... sorry.
I wish my Roomba loved me.
Your Roomba does love you.
What?
What is that?
Sorry, it's just some delicious Bill Bars.
Plus, I like to eat when I'm bored.
Bored?
Then watching this show, you're lucky you don't have a belly like Dave!
Hey, I like Bilt Bars, too.
I eat them after I work out.
Yeah, yeah, you do.
Oh, is that workout the walk you do to or from your car?
He goes up a couple stairs, too.
Oh, yeah, okay.
And you guys are just the epitome.
I'd like to throw you down him!
You're guys just in peak physical shape, right?
Is that you're the epitome of health?
Huh?
Is that... Well, we're old.
Yeah.
What's your excuse?
And Steven, you're not quite benching as much as you used to, huh?
I had chest surgery, so I don't really think that's... Yeah.
That was the... Chest surgery?
Is that because you like to dress up like a woman so much on this show that you decided to just get implants?
Probably just felt right!
Dave's look botched!
I wish this was a wall thread, I seriously do.
Yeah, I really wish this was a wall thread.
Us too!
All right, okay.
I draw the line at death threats.
Gerald?
Got some Bilt Bars here.
Enjoy them after a workout as a meal replacement or while verbally abusing your friends.
Yeah, well, look, you can go to Bilt.com, use the promo code Crowder15, get 15% off.
I need them to actually send me some more.
These are the Bilt Bar Puffs.
They're like marshmallow puffs.
They're actually pretty damn good.
Where'd you get those?
I don't know.
Ah, they're sitting around.
I found them the other day, though.
They're very tasty.
Yeah, they are tasty.
What's the candy bar that has a marshmallow in it?
S'mores.
No, it's the yellow one.
I didn't say what you make by the hemp fire.
You can't commercially sell hemp fire in a box.
No, they have like little Debbie s'mores or something.
Yeah, they do.
Yeah, yeah, but I know one.
They're like the Reese's Cup, but they're marshmallow.
By the way, I don't know if you know it, there is a wrong way to eat a Reese's.
Anally?
Oh, gee.
No, that's actually not the wrong way.
I'll fill you in later.
What I guessed.
It wasn't a bad guess, but it was a wrong guess.
Okay.
I'm glad that's the right way then.
So now we have this, and you know what, this is something that's near to you because you had a dad who was a veteran.
Yes.
Right?
And didn't your, if I'm not mistaken, your dad went, experience, wasn't he around Agent Orange?
It was because of Agent Orange.
He died of soft cell sarcoma, brain cancer, which the government did nothing.
We've been fighting for years about it.
Yeah.
Yeah, the VA.
I know that you ran into problems with it.
of it.
Still do.
Yeah.
Yeah, and it's, we've essentially been roadblocked and I think, uh, yeah, we can definitely
get into this, but I, yeah, this is definitely something that's very near and dear to my
heart.
I think it's important because this is the case with a lot of people, if you have a relative
who's a veteran.
And so this is unfortunately what we see, and it's a very typical ploy, uh, you really
don't see it as much from the right.
And the reason for that is because it's tough for the right to justify a bunch of pork barrel spending, right?
They'll just get voted out by their constituents.
But the poison pill in a bill is something that the left does incredibly well.
Did you know about this?
This is my question to you.
Did you know about the 390 something billion dollars?
In the burn pit bill, you know, for veterans that had nothing to do with veterans.
That's the problem.
It's always the problem is they stuff everything into a bill that has nothing to do with the bill that is actually going to help the people it's supposed to help.
That's exactly right.
So on Tuesday the Senate did pass what was controversial, and it didn't change at all, the PACT Act.
We'll just call it the burn pit bill.
This is a very good day.
A long-awaited day.
A day that should have happened long ago.
and by the way we all would support that if the government screwed up and
harmed our veterans that is a legitimate purview of government
to fix that right to right that wrong especially as it relates to
people who put their lives on the line
here's a clip to fill you in this is a very good day
a long awaited day a day that should have happened long ago
for decades many of our nation's veterans have endured this shameful reality
they went abroad to serve our country bravely got sick from toxic exposure in the line of duty
but came home and learned they didn't qualify for the benefits they needed to
treat their illnesses It is shameful, it is infuriating.
Today we tell our veterans suffering from cancers, lung diseases, other ailments from burn pits, the wait is over for the benefits you deserve.
Okay, so just so you know, people who voted nay, notable Rand Paul, Mike Lee, I'll explain to you why.
The bill failed in the Senate just last week.
It's basically the same bill.
Now, last week, and this is the reason the bill went through and Republicans caved, wrongfully so, Jon Stewart went on his press tour and was ripping people like Pat Toomey and other Republicans for not voting for the bill under what?
Under the guise that you must not care about veterans.
So ain't this a bitch?
Ain't this a bitch?
America's heroes... Did you just point to a public school teacher?
...who fought in our wars... I'm not sure what she is.
...outside sweating their asses off... ...with oxygen... ...battling all kinds of ailments, while these motherfuckers sit in the air conditioning, walled off from any of it!
I'm used to the lies.
I'm used to the hypocrisy.
Senator Pat Toomey won't take a meeting with the veterans groups.
Maybe just because he called him a coward and a mother bugger?
He sends out his chief of staff.
I'm used to the cowardice.
I've been here a long time.
Senate's where accountability goes to die.
These people don't care.
They're never losing their jobs.
Support term limits, Johnny Boyd.
They're never losing their health care.
Pat Toomey didn't lose his job.
He's walking away.
God knows what kind of pot of gold he's stepping into.
Mmm, yeah.
It's ironic that he uses the term pot of gold.
So look, this is what I want to do a mental exercise with you right now.
Because a lot of people have actually, you know, they'll reach out, they'll go through our email contacts on the website, like tips at lightoffcutter.com or something like that, and they'll say, I just, I know that there's something going on with this Burn Pit Bill, the PACT Act, but I don't exactly know what it is because I do think that veterans should be taken care of.
Why are Republicans voting against this?
Okay.
Here are the questions that you should ask.
If something feels off, let's start with figuring out why it feels off.
Does this pass the sniff test?
Basic logical questions.
Okay.
Are Republicans typically the party that don't support veterans?
Is it typically the Democratic Party who want to actually reform the VA, actually increase efficiencies, actually want to create an effective military, not a social justice petri dish?
Are the Democrats the party that have been pro-military, pro-veterans?
Okay, let's ask that.
Does this seem in line with whether you like them or not with what Republicans would do?
Not helping veterans.
Let's ask a follow-up question.
Why would they be willing to commit political suicide for something that seems like a bill that everyone would be on board with?
If you ask those questions, it's pretty easy to get to the answer.
Okay?
The bill.
Four hundred billion dollars.
B-b-b-billion.
I had to say it three times fast before the show because in my mind I want to say million, but that's a rounding error.
Four hundred billion dollars.
Made it into this bill.
Was discretionary spending.
And it was made mandatory.
By the way, has nothing to do.
Nothing.
Nothing whatsoever.
It can be spent however they want.
In this bill.
Here's Pat Toomey explaining it before he was just, you know, insulted by Jon Stewart.
What do you say to those who find it impossible to believe that of all the multi-trillions of dollars in our federal budget, this is where you and Republicans decided to take a stand?
Jeez.
Here's what you need to keep in mind, Jake.
First of all, this is the oldest trick in Washington.
People take a sympathetic group of Americans, and it could be children with an illness, it could be victims of crime, it could be veterans who've been exposed to toxic chemicals, Craft a bill to address their problems, and then sneak in something completely unrelated that they know could never pass on its own, and dare Republicans to do anything about it because they know they'll unleash their allies in the media and maybe a pseudo-celebrity to make up false accusations to try to get us to just swallow what shouldn't be there.
That's what's happening here, Jake.
Yeah, and you read about it on his website, and we have the references available at lateralcredit.com.
You can go and read the bill, right?
You can go and read the act.
I have a question.
Jake Tapper, why didn't you ask maybe a more probing question to get to the heart of the matter instead of trying to paint Republicans as anti-VA?
Why didn't you say, hey, in the Senate, you guys passed this bill earlier this year.
When it went to the House, it was actually changed a little bit and came back to you guys, and that's when you voted no on it.
What changed that made you vote no?
That would have been a real journalistic question.
About 400 billion things changed.
What's $400 billion between friends, Stephen?
Having been part of fighting this when my dad died as a teenager, you look at the Clinton administration, the Bush administration, the Obama administration, the closest we came to getting paid was the Trump administration.
And now we're in this.
They recently just started paying out mustard gas because there's so few people left in connection to where they can cough out a couple dollars for that.
Right.
This is what has always gone on.
They always give so very little to the veterans and slap all this money on the back end.
And I've watched this happen time and time again for 20 years.
Right.
Over 20 years.
Well, and the thing is, it's more pernicious than that because the Democrats know it.
They can only do this because they don't care about the veterans.
Because it's not a voting base for them.
That's why they need to change the military.
That's why they need to have they and them pronouns and stretchy maternity suits for
pregnant seven-month pregnant feminists in the Air Force.
They don't care about the military.
It's not a voting bloc.
And so they're willing to make the sacrifice, meaning sacrifice the health of our veterans,
as long as it makes Republicans look bad.
They want to make Republicans look bad so they don't care about the veterans.
Meanwhile, they know that they don't care about the veterans because they're putting
in $400 billion.
And by the way, this is not the only time this has been done.
All references, again, available at lottocutter.com.
Let me just give you a few off the top of my head more recently.
In July 2022, Democrats right in the House Committee, they voted to insert more funding for the CDC and NIH, remove the Hyde Amendment and the budget bill in March 2022.
Biden's $1.5 trillion spending bill included billions of dollars in pork barrel spending, of course, in Democrat districts.
May 2019, House Democrats added, and this is referred to as a poison pill because they deliberately want to poison it so they can then score political points, bailouts for Obamacare, bipartisan health care legislation.
They added this last minute and then go, what, you don't support health care for people?
What, you don't support the veterans?
No, no, no, that's not what it is!
It's like you're giving me minestrone soup, only there's shit in it.
I don't have a problem with the minestrone soup per se.
It's the shit in the soup.
Oh, you mean the slumber party they had?
Right.
Yeah, that was ridiculous.
Yeah.
And I understand Jon Stewart's rage.
I honestly do.
And I think he comes from a good place, especially with even 9-11 and people that have dealt with it.
I just think that he has to understand that every move forward, just because there's something good in it, doesn't mean it's actually going to bring in the result that you want.
And you can't just blame one party for it.
This is a problem in all of politics.
This is a fault of right and left a lot, but the people you see doing it the most are the Democrats, because they're the most difficult group to get veterans paid out.
And I've experienced this firsthand, and I have a mountain of evidence that can show that.
Yeah, no, you're absolutely right.
What about the $400 billion just going to the actual veterans?
Why would you sandwich that into a bill that has nothing to do with the veterans?
Right there's your problem.
You can fix the problem right there, there's your money.
And John Stewart tries to act as though it's only Republican.
Do we actually think John Stewart doesn't know?
Of course he knows better!
He should be going after somebody like Chuck Schumer who went down to the floor there and just had a moment where he's like, finally!
Chuck, you've been there a long time.
Why just now?
I read the bill.
I spent a lot of time this morning going through line by line.
You're fixing problems back to the Vietnam War and before.
What were you doing with all the other time?
Joe Biden, former Vice President, you were there as well.
Those small children aren't going to Princess Leia chain themselves up themselves.
Chuck Schumer is at every opportunity.
And now he's coming out and saying, oh, finally we're able to do this.
Well, the only people standing in the way of you doing this was you.
Yeah.
So you finally got out of the way.
And your bullshit lateral move, sorry, pardon my language, is not a move forward.
No, it's not.
That's what they have to realize.
That's the same game they play over and over again to get more of taxpayer funding to do whatever they want with.
Why didn't you just decades ago have your freaky little lemony Snicket's hand write this up in a way that was straightforward and would actually help the veterans?
Why don't you drag soldiers over into a conflict that didn't involve us?
Right.
Yeah.
And then afterwards they say, oh, the Iraq War.
It's like, hold on a second, you supported it until you were against it.
This is the issue that all of them have.
And I think that there's a perfectly legitimate position to hold if you were against the war or for the war.
My issue is when you just change it based on where the political winds are blowing and you use veterans as a pawn.
Or you use whoever it is, single moms as a pawn.
Take your pick.
You use our children as pawns with COVID.
We're not pawns to be used by politicians.
This is the problem, the fundamental problem of a government that sees you as subservient to them versus serving them.
By the way, when you send, when we commit to send our troops overseas, the very first dollar in your spending bills goes to them.
Correct.
Your very first dollar.
I don't care if you support the war or not.
The very first dollar, when they come home, goes to supporting them.
That has been the Republican mantra.
There's no way Republicans are standing in the way of this.
There's no way that they deep down in their hearts don't want to take care of that.
Think about this for a second.
Donald Trump, the only president in modern American history to not start a new war, and he's the guy who did most for veteran reform, for VA reform.
It was the first time I got through, I was able to talk to somebody.
I almost had a check written out, and it's not even about the money.
I'll rip the thing up.
I've finally gotten them to at least admit it was their fault.
Well, don't rip it up.
You can at least make it up to cash.
We'll do one of those Happy Gilmore checks and you can rip that one.
But it's just like, take accountability, and they have.
That's the crazy part.
They take accountability, but then the second that it's switched to Biden, it comes back to, well, your mom didn't file the paperwork just right.
Well, she was mentally ill because her husband died.
Yeah.
And she took her life.
And it's like, well, the paperwork wasn't... It's like, what is wrong with you people?
The only way she should have to file it is roll it up and have Chuck Schumer bend over.
Oh, absolutely.
That'd be the best way to submit it.
And rub his face in it.
Rub his face in triple earmarks.
Hey, common ground.
Common ground here.
Question.
Can we all agree that there shouldn't be earmarks in a bill?
Yeah.
We do away with that?
100%.
Just completely?
I remember when I first heard about earmarks.
Do you remember where you were when you first- I remember exactly where I was.
I was in an office in El Segundo.
I was 19 years old when someone actually explained it to me.
And they went through all the technical jargon and they explained it to me in a way that I couldn't possibly understand as just one of those plebs.
And I said, okay, okay.
So basically, it means they can add and whatever else to the bill.
It's like the film Blank Check.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It is, though.
And he was like, well, not really.
And he explained it again.
And I said, uh-huh, uh-huh.
So basically, you can have a bill that's in relation to anything.
Let's say veterans.
Let's say it's a bill in relation to, I don't know, border security.
Security for a guy and his Russian whores in Malibu.
Yeah.
Or his Chinese spy whores.
Eric Swalwell, I don't want to say I'm looking at you.
But come on.
I asked again, so it's just and $100 million, or in this case, I remember saying $100 million more for this.
Today, that's a joke.
We're talking about $400 billion.
Before you fact check me, I think it's like $396 billion, just to be clear.
I rounded up a little bit, so sue me.
Let's all do away with earmarks.
Everyone should be able to agree on that.
Here's a question that I think is fundamental.
Look at that, I just flipped a stupid pen.
Here's a question.
Why did this PAC deck, the burn pit bill is how it's kind of been referred to, why did it pass yesterday if it couldn't pass last week?
There were three proposed amendments from Republican Senators.
They were all rejected.
By the way, these amendments, of course, largely revolved around, ah, wait a second, there's like $400 billion there.
Yeah.
What do you have a problem with that?
We have $400 billion other problems, just to be clear.
Yeah, we're worried about distribution, not the amount.
Right.
Where's it going?
Yeah.
By the way, do you really need to wear a Gucci necklace here on the floor, Schumer?
It's almost like rubbing it in.
It's a Gucci dog tag in honor of the veterans.
Go screw yourself.
So the bill is exactly the same, and Senator Ted Cruz, who's been on the show, is a friend of the show, stated his support for the Pac-Tac and veterans, but he added, I'm disappointed that we couldn't come together to fix the Democrat-created budget gimmick that will allow Congress to subsequently spend another $400 billion on pork, and on top of and completely unrelated to the laudable funding in this bill for veterans harmed by burn pits.
Now it's up to Republicans to clean up this mess by lowering the discretionary cap so that we protect every penny of veterans' funding, but prevent unrelated pork when Republicans retake the majority.
I mean, in other words, basically, Ted Cruz came out and said, this is a really bad deal.
There's money going to other places that we can't control.
But hey, make sure you vote for us in the upcoming elections and we'll fix it.
Ted, we've been doing that for a long, long, long time.
Do you think anything's actually going to happen on this post-election?
Nobody's going to come back and actually put caps on this stuff.
That's not going to happen.
There's money going out the door and everybody wants a piece of it, including you.
And the other Republicans who actually held the line last week and had principles last week on this until the media started to run with the fact that you guys didn't support the VA and y'all didn't have your game ready to come out and say, actually we do and here's a laundry list of reasons why I can say that.
I'll tell you exactly why.
It caved.
They caved because they understand there's a certain portion of their constituency, not all, But there are a lot of veterans out there, just like there are groups of any other American demographic, who are not particularly educated on political issues at this point.
And if you're not paying attention, you are constantly being pandered to, right?
Veteran-owned company.
Veteran bill.
Like, I'm a vet!
Right?
They have their Palme shirt that they drape across their seat in their truck when they're not there.
This is someone who actually knew, who did this.
That is their raison d'être.
And they should be proud of it.
And they are actual heroes, unlike TikTok nurses.
That being said, Republicans don't want to fall on that sword, because veterans have been used, not in the same way for pork barrel spending, but by, I would say, some private companies, a lot of businesses, a lot of corporations on the right, who say, veteran-owned, we're proud veteran-owned, we support our veterans, and 2% of their profits go to veterans.
And so they're afraid of these people getting mad at them, and it's a lot easier to just say, yeah, yeah, yeah, we support all the veterans!
Rather than educating people saying, look, look, look, the reason we have a problem is because of 400 billion dollars.
It's, ironically, the only kind of pork that Schumer doesn't have a problem with.
You're right, though.
It's how they dip their toe, though, into getting a moderate vote to go their way because they know that people will sympathize with it to some degree.
But the reality is, is we do not have the respect for our soldiers that we should.
We're not aware of the fact that we don't even understand patriotism like we should.
We don't have a grasp of what goes on in the world and how dangerous and scary that it actually is.
The reason why Demi Lovato can have 18 different pronouns is because there's not people here that would just kill her in a heartbeat because of these soldiers.
Right.
These are people who have fought and given their lives to our country and they deserve some, just some respect.
Yeah.
And I'm really tired of seeing how much shit they have to go through to get any kind of money in compensation for what they've, for what they've dealt with.
It's pathetic.
You know what, Dave?
Maybe we could, we can talk after the show, but you know, we have some lines with, and just to be clear, I don't endorse politicians on the show.
I'll have politicians on the show specifically if I think they're relevant to an issue.
Could make some calls and it might be good for you to get in front of them.
I would love to.
Yeah.
And by that I mean be yourself and rip them a new asshole.
I'd be happy to.
Yeah.
A second one for Monkeypox.
Yes, exactly.
That, well yeah, well they already have it.
Yes.
No, because look, Dave lives this.
And this is why I've been deferring to Dave.
And by the way, for people who get mad, like, why isn't Dave being funny?
Dave has the right to express an opinion.
He's passionate about this for crying out loud.
Thank God the guy, not thank God he has the right to, but I'm surprised he isn't breaking out in tears.
You can go and find him discussing what his dad went through.
Yeah, it's horrible.
It's hell.
It's hell on earth.
And you know what?
It's one of the few legitimate roles of government.
To protect us both from external and internal threats.
There should be no other spending or social programs until the veterans, the people who have actually fought for this country, are taken care of.
And no, libertarians, that's not supporting a welfare state.
These are people who went out, fought for the country, and especially if you had them breathing in air from the burn pits.
If someone can go on air and allow you to sue your state, whether it's G. Gordon Liddy because of mesothelioma, but if you're a veteran, you're shit out of luck.
William Shatner can have you sue somebody for a slip and fall every day of the week.
I'm G. Gordon Liddy.
Shut up!
I wish the Republicans would have come out and said, oh, OK, here you go.
Guess what?
Here's the real PACT Act.
We're introducing new legislation right now.
It has every single other thing in this bill that supports veterans.
You know the $400 billion that supports veterans?
That's in the bill.
You know what's not in the bill?
The $400 billion that doesn't support veterans.
That's the only difference.
Vote for that.
And they need to say that.
They do need to grow up here and come out and just kind of explain that and just go, this is the problem.
You tag on all this nonsense and then it's not the bill you think that it is.
Right.
It's also why I probably will never run for office.
People have said, you know why?
Jon Stewart has more influence than Ted Cruz does.
For sure.
Think about that.
They just caved.
I do love that Rand Paul didn't.
Yeah.
I do too!
Rand Paul, I will, he is, he's bitchy.
He secured his manhood too.
Oh, maybe all the other Republicans voted for the bill, but not me.
And they're like, why do you have to do that, Rand?
You're making the rest of us look bad.
Well, I didn't come here to make you look good.
I came here to represent my constituents and you're a dyke.
I love Rand Paul.
That's not an insult.
I love that Rand Paul, he's out of shits to give.
Good for him.
Good for him.
He's one of the few guys, he's very slight, but ironically has large, brass, pendulous balls.
Alright, we're going to talk about, speaking of pendulous balls, Ron DeSantis going after the view.
Yeah, there's another thing.
Please, do me a favor, you're watching right now, share the show.
Just hit the share button because the algorithms, if someone searches Louder With Crowder Veterans Bill Byrne pits and even Etch A Sketch uses an iPad pencil with Dave's face, it still won't show up.
It'll be a Demi Lovato video.
So, share the show.
It helps with the algorithm.
Hit a like, comment below.
Dave is in Dayton, Ohio this Friday and Saturday at the Funny Bone.
I have to go to the bathroom.
You're gonna have to hold down the fort here because YouTube, you gotta piss off.
I don't even want to say it.
I gotta do it.
Do it.
