JOE BIDEN & PROGRESSIVES ARE DESTROYING WOMEN! | Louder with Crowder
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Hey, we've got a lot to get to today, but this one is for the girls.
This one's for the ladies.
I just want you to keep an open mind if you're a lady right now watching or listening.
We'll be talking about Joe Biden, of course.
Creepy pedo Joe.
He is what he is, right?
But you can't blame a snake for being a snake.
What I want to talk about today is the advice of no serious guys until you're 30, and that this is echoed from the left.
We've talked about how people will shut down dialogue before it begins.
That's why it's such a pervasive problem when you're dealing with everything's racism, everything's homophobia, everything's sexism, everything is transphobia.
Feminists have really painted women into a corner.
Women who don't follow lockstep with third-wave feminism.
You're seeing the factions that are sort of being created right now because we've been told as men we're not allowed an opinion for a very long amount of time.
I don't agree with that.
We'll express our opinions today, but I want to know I think you need to laser in on a question when you're talking about ideology.
Has any of this, to you out there, if you're a feminist, if you're a first wave, second wave, whatever you want to call yourself, the idea that we value, that women should value profession over family, the idea that we exalt women, that we build up women by telling them that they are equivalent to men in male-dominated areas.
And there's a byproduct there, right?
Is it nature?
Is it nurture?
The idea that we tell women you're just as good as a man at X, when we know it's not true, that you should value X instead of Y, we fundamentally changed what it is that a lot of women seek in life.
And if you believe that gender is a societal construct, you'd have to believe that some of your motivations are a byproduct of societal constructs.
I think the litmus test here is, and this is what we want to get into today, has any of this made your life better?
Are you better off?
Are you happier?
I'm pretty fortunate in that I have a really large sample size with the show that we do, with the tens of millions of people each month.
And we get a lot of letters, we get a lot of comments, and it's a problem that I know.
I hear you, the women who reach out and say, how do I speak with my feminist friend about X?
Because you're shut down as being anti-woman, even if you're a woman at this point.
Look, I don't think we're helping anyone.
I don't think we're helping trans people.
I don't think that we're helping any marginalized class, and I certainly don't think that we're helping women, if ultimately the solutions that are being provided, or ultimately the values that are being espoused, have not made your life better.
A lot of men are frustrated.
They're checking out of the marriage pool.
A lot of young women are frustrated, because they find themselves at 35, 40 years old, having followed the advice of a Joe Biden.
So I just ask that you keep an open mind.
Before you go, ah, mansplaining, and ask yourself, hold on a second.
Is there something being discussed today that may make my life better?
Because women are less happy than ever in modern recorded history.
What we are doing is not working.
And I think that's really sad.
As a father of a daughter, that's what we're going to get into today.
Also jokes about wieners.
Okay, let's do the show.
Trick or treat!
Trick or treat!
Look at you.
You're Spider-Man.
We got a red riding hood.
And what are you?
Are you a dinosaur?
Oh, that is adorable.
Okay, hold on.
I got something for you.
Uncle Steven! You came prepared?
Where the cats at?
No, that's better than candy. That's a three month emergency food supply kit from My Patriot Supply.
Skynet?
It's got everything you need in case of some kind of emergency or natural disaster.
And all the nutrition that you guys need to grow big and strong for when Skynet falls.
Skynet?
Parents didn't tell you about Skynet? When the robots turn on the human race, ending civilization as we know it in
nuclear Armageddon?
Armageddon?
No, don't worry.
You probably won't feel anything.
You'll probably be burned up and vaporized before you even know what's happening.
Besides, it doesn't just have to be Armageddon.
There are a million reasons to be prepared.
Especially when you can get the food supply from prepwithcrowder.com.
Taking $250 off a three-month kit could be anything.
Floods, earthquakes, ice storms, riots, race wars, pestilence.
How are we supposed to carry this?
I don't know.
Maybe that's a question better suited to your future robot overlords.
Smart mouth.
Go to prepwithcrowder.com and save $250 off of any three-month emergency food kit you need today.
That's the lowest price in three years.
Spooky low Spooky low
You're a strange animal That's what I know
You're a strange animal I know the fall
You're a strange animal I know the fall
You're a spooky low Spooky low
Spooky low Spooky low
Oh sorry there's no sip there because I'm writing down a Sorry an important note for today's show
Hmm No vagina, no opinion.
I just crossed it out.
Remember that.
We have a lot to get to today.
We wanted to prepare, you know, we kept our powder dry a little bit because obviously it was trending, you know, former Vice President Joe Biden being The very least creepy with a young girl, but I think there's something more to it that a lot of people have been missing.
So my question to you before we do anything else is, out of all the things that former Vice President Joe Biden has done that are gross, we all agree, which one sticks out to you the most?
Which one in your mind's eye makes you go, oh, that doesn't feel right?
It's a tough choice to make, I know.
It is, yeah.
It's tough.
It was the biker chick on the lap, I think.
It's one of those things where maybe we have to split the baby because there's just so much that is wrong with it.
All right, so we'll be talking about that.
We'll be talking about the failed foreign policy that's going on right now with Saudi Arabia, gas prices, what the left is doing before the midterms, the state of the economy, and of course, on Muggleblue, playing Photoshop or not.
But really, young women right now are miserable.
And it's not a good thing for anybody.
It's not a good thing for women.
It's not a good thing for men.
So, a little bit macro today.
The kids call it, I think, a deep dive.
Don't know if I should use that term today, but you understand where I'm coming from.
Gerald A., how are you, sir?
I'm doing well.
I'm not miserable, and I'm not a young woman.
Good for you.
Well, that's that penile privilege.
I identify as trans.
I don't, in fact.
Well, you said it.
The car?
I can't argue with that, but I can argue with myself, apparently.
The IROC?
Italian retard out cruisin'.
IROC Z, baby!
And you hear him, you know him, you love him.
Fastest man on his feet.
We're on tour here together.
We have two shows that still have tickets left through the end of the year.
November 12th at Ryman Auditorium.
We added a second show at 9.30.
For tickets, go to laddersquare.com slash tour.
Dave Landau, how are you?
Ahoy, good!
Not many left, I just checked.
Yeah, I know.
I just checked, so come to Nashville.
Seriously, it's going to be an amazing show.
It's the balcony seats, I think, that are left.
Yes.
There's a couple in the main, but they're sort of sporadic.
Yeah.
Which I wish they would figure out a way to mash them together so you can sit with your wife.
Well, you think they could do that because there are no seats at the Ryman, it's just the benches.
Yeah.
That's true, you could just have somebody slide over.
Yeah.
Look at that.
That's an amazing theater, isn't it?
Hopefully I don't end up having, like, you know, cardiac arrest on stage, but I will give a camera the finger.
Well, that's all that matters.
It's the Grand Ole Opry.
It's the original Grand Ole Opry.
Isn't that what it is?
Isn't that the original one?
When they changed it?
Well, when you say these things, I don't know.
Yes, I believe so.
I have no idea.
I know it's legendary.
Research!
Right off the bat, could be talking out my rear.
All right.
Let's go to this.
So before we move on, we're really going to spend some time here on Joe Biden's advice to young women and why everything about it is wrong.
But first, and I should warn you, we're not showing you this because it's titillating, which at first glance you might think, why are we showing this?
Just wait till the end.
This 23-year-old TikTok influencer, because that's a job now, is really not known for anything other than showing her breasts for millions of views and dollars.
And guess what?
She has a number one fan.
It's not who you think.
Watch this.
Watch this.
You ready?
Baggy.
Boom!
Hehe That mean a big old snake in that meat, so I hit you with
the bleak Hit you with the bleak
Hit you with- Kids are stupid
So I never thought I'd be advocating for fatherless homes.
We've been wrong this whole time.
Here we are.
That's her dad?
That's her dad.
Is the third person who walks in the police?
Yes, you would hope so.
Good lord.
Just a police cover band who are taking part.
Yeah, just jumping in.
You gotta turn on the red light.
Either way, that psychological trauma's gonna leave a sting.
Oh, yeah.
Wow.
This is where we are right now, because we're so busy, concerned with being friends and accommodating.
We've talked about this narcissism.
What it is that feels right for you.
That's what parenting is now.
It's about supporting whatever feels... I just threw up in my mouth a little.
That made me throw up in my mouth a little bit.
He's encouraging his daughter to be a whore, essentially, for dollars.
I just want to be clear.
Not essentially.
Literally.
Literally doing that.
Imagine that conversation though.
He's at home like, honey, you're not really good at anything.
But you have those.
Yes.
So maybe use those, and I'll even be in your video.
I'm a fan, and I'm like, do you not look at this?
She said you weren't born with much of a brain, you better start using your body.
Yeah, well, she... Yeah.
Honey, you're what they call a 2AM7.
Yes.
And, uh, I think we can make it work for you.
Yes.
At, uh, other times, but yes.
Let's turn your low self-confidence into a feature.
Yes, let's, uh... And I'll dance in there with you.
Yes.
For some reason, all my friends don't talk to me anymore.
Right.
And your... your mother left.
Yes.
My only friend is Child Protective Services.
Yes.
And Johnny wants to know if he can go on a date with you, but he's 57.
And he's your brother.
Yes.
Now... Time to have dinner while somebody monitors it.
Yes.
Yeah, it's a game of Clue.
Guess why she became a stripper.
This is back in our day.
She would have been on the pole in the dead of night in the darkness where she belongs.
What have we done?
Speaking of which, I don't know if there's a segue, here's a clip of former Vice President Joe Biden.
Very important thing I told my daughter and granddaughters, no serious guys until you're 30.
No serious guys until you're 30.
No, I know at first glance that seems really bad, but he also went on to, you know, he's actually qualified as a finishing school instructor.
He went on to teach her etiquette.
I have to go.
No, be polite.
You have to be polite.
Be polite.
That's another rule.
Well, it's good advice.
It's a live show, by the way, Monday through Thursday.
10 a.m.
Eastern, if you want to tune in here, not only on YouTube, and we're off YouTube.
Nothing will make me happier than all of you going over to Rumble.
Of course, Mug Club will be playing Photoshop.
We're not an extra full 100% of the show.
That's a percentage right there.
Or you could just take the show and say it's times two, Monday through Thursday, lightoffcreditor.com slash themugclub.
Ah, boy.
Okay.
Did you see how awkward that girl felt, though?
Yeah, she was very uncomfortable.
Oh, man.
Can we all agree?
I mean, sure, are we—is it conjecture at this point?
Are we speculating?
No.
Yeah, she's uncomfortable.
Yeah, she's uncomfortable.
So is the mom, because you hear her go, yeah, we'll keep that in mind, very, like, angry.
Yeah.
Well, if every girl that he touches, like, instinctively pulls away, that should tell you something.
Yes.
And that's what she's doing.
She's like, uh, I took a picture with the president, but that's all I wanted, Joe.
I didn't want a hand on the shoulder in a creepy way.
Right.
Keanu Reeves takes every picture like he's doing jazz hands.
Yes.
You're not supposed to touch people.
That's kind of the deal now.
Exactly.
Unless it's like with their permission.
Right, you do the hover hands.
Like she has ghost shoulder pads.
Yes.
I do that.
You'll see a lot of pictures of like this.
Or that's why I go like this.
So people are like, why are you doing this?
Or like number one or thumbs up.
It's like so that you can see where the hands are.
Exactly.
Like back when I used to watch Three's Company.
Hands above the covers.
Yeah, that's true.
I put my hand anywhere and I just go, no one will believe me.
Be polite.
Always be polite.
Let me look, genuinely, of course, okay, we'll move on from this, but I do have to ask you, if you're a dad, you have a daughter, if that's your wife, anyone other than former Vice President Joe Biden, let's just get rid of all the white noise here from the media, and oh, you know, this is political theater.
Would you be okay with that if that was your daughter?
Nope.
I really want to hear from you.
And what if you're a young girl?
Would you be comfortable with that?
When we talk about, you know, taking precautions and making sure that women are comfortable, he's just, look behind you!
You've blown way past the line!
I have nieces and a goddaughter and friends with daughters and that made me uncomfortable.
Well, based on his daughter's diary, I think he's probably comfortable with doing a lot more touching than we are.
Which the FBI has not confirmed nor denied.
But they did get mad at the people who stole it and say they stole a real diary.
Thanks for confirming it.
Yeah.
No, you read my diary.
It was a felony.
Yes, exactly.
People who don't know, Ashley Biden talked about showering with her dad beyond the point when it was age-appropriate.
This is not a conspiracy.
She wrote it down.
And the FBI, kind of like with Ilhan Omar banging her brother, Reuters and Snopes, were like, well, we weren't able to confirm it, so it's not not true.
That's kind of your job, is to confirm it.
Just, you know, here's the marriage certificate.
Your guess is as good as mine.
We really don't know.
Oh, Believe All Women?
Well, it's a diary.
Yeah.
It's only an account of what happened.
Just her deepest, most intimate secrets.
The search continues.
Like, where's Waldo?
The diary draped in candy cane wrapping paper in a peppermint farm.
Only instant, traumatized, accurate proof of what just happened.
Right.
I mean, you have the account that she wrote down, Ashley Biden, and then, of course, you have her entire life and behavioral choices as substantiating evidence.
Ah, we can't do that, no.
That's what we call a deadlock for a bet.
So, look, we all know Joe Biden, and I want to ask this, we all know that he's creepy.
I don't want to say pedophile.
Gives off the vibe.
He does.
I cannot confirm that, but it's creepy.
We all know that.
Okay.
But I think people are missing something.
here. And no one's really talked about it. Maybe someone has. The advice that he gives this young
woman is not only indicative of his character, he's trying to use it as an in with a little girl,
it's horrible for women. It really, and this is indicative of the heart of the Democratic
Party, of the people like Joe Biden, of the Kamala Harris.
They don't want you happy.
They don't want you in a, they don't want you to have a fulfilling life with your own
nuclear family, basically your own microcosm of an effective government because they believe it
takes a village.
They want you to be dependent on the village.
So let's go back.
I want to watch that clip again.
Just now I want you to watch this through the lens of listening to his advice.
Oh, very important thing I told my daughter and granddaughter.
I'm tired.
No serious guys until you're 30.
No serious guys until you're 30.
Or when you're past 30, you can just do like Jill and pick me.
Because when you're 30, you can settle down because nobody's gonna want that.
Was someone saying at least?
Yeah, somebody said at least.
Somebody said at least.
Oh, jeez.
You're 21 years past your prime at that point.
Oh, gosh.
You're like Gordie Howe playing with his son.
You're there, but it doesn't matter anymore.
So here's the thing.
It's not just former Vice President Joe Biden.
You see this from a lot of cultural institutions, from people in the media.
Let me read you some headlines.
So from PopSugar, why you should absolutely wait until after 30 to get married.
Brides, I guess, is a magazine.
Why getting married in your 30s is the new normal.
Elite Daily, five good reasons why you should wait until you're 30 to get married.
Author Joy Chen, don't marry before you are 30.
You hear this a lot.
Okay.
So let's walk through this for a second.
And we'll be taking your chat here in Mug Club.
I think this is an important conversation to have.
This means that young women aren't even supposed to look at serious relationships.
Until they're 30.
Now, before I do some math, yes, I get it.
Male privilege, right?
Can we all?
Okay.
White male privilege.
Okay, so we're not supposed to have an opinion.
I get it all.
But there's biology here that does matter.
And it is true.
There is a different standard for women than there is for men.
The consequences are more catastrophic because you do have a biological window and you do have a choice to make.
Men have choices to make in different facets.
You do have a choice to make.
You can't have all of the things.
You can't become a CEO of the most powerful company well into your 30s and then want to be, or you can, but the chances are slim, a mother.
You can't go through second adolescence and then also be equipped, if you only start looking for serious relationships when you are 30, be equipped for a serious relationship.
So let's do some math here.
They're not supposed to start looking.
At serious guys until they're 30.
That's what he said, right?
No serious guys until you're 30.
So the median length of dating, and all references are available at loudmouthcreditor.com, before engagement is about three and a half years.
3.3 years to be exact.
Okay.
So now you're at 33 and a half.
Let's call it 33.
The average engagement lasts 12 to 18 months.
Let's call it a year.
Okay.
Now you're at 34 and a half.
Then the average amount of time that people wait to have children after marriage is three years.
So now you're looking at the low, low, low end, 37 and a half, more likely 39.
So assuming that you follow the former Vice President's advice, Mr. Right, as they call him, if you were to meet the perfect man, meaning immediately when you turn 30, and you have not been looking at any serious relationships, if you hit the lottery and immediately meet Mr. Right, you're still, on average, at the soonest, looking at becoming a mother at 37 years old.
I know some of you are going to say, well, not all women want to be mothers.
Great.
I understand.
This isn't for you.
Your opinion may change in five years, which is something that we'll get to.
But this is a biological reality.
If you follow that advice, 37 years old is when you would be looking at starting your life as a mother.
If you understand the consequences that we're about to go into, just hit the like button.
It helps with the algorithm here on YouTube.
Full disclosure, of course, I think as more Christian conservatives, I don't think that's a good idea.
I don't think you should be getting married at 16 or 18, but, you know, we do believe in the woman of our youth.
That is ideal.
Yeah, absolutely.
Whatever, not Jerry Lee Lewis.
Right.
There's gotta be a happy medium.
There's gotta be a happy medium.
Look, I was a guy who was looking for a serious relationship.
My wife was looking for a serious relationship for a long time, trying to find the right person.
We didn't think it would happen for you.
You didn't.
You thought Coldplay and track lighting spelt something else.
Yes.
And that was a lonely Gerald.
Still spells it.
No, no, no.
No, it really doesn't.
I have a wife now.
Also, the fact that you slept in a race car.
Well, that's a personal choice that I will defend.
Not a bed, just a race car.
Just slept in a race car.
Shot some dinosaur sheets in there.
I'm like, come on, there's no synergy!
It takes time.
Like, really, it takes time to find somebody.
And then, you were in a position where we were, where thank God, my wife is a little bit younger than me, so this works out a little bit better for us, but she was getting closer to that time where, okay, it's going to be more difficult if I wait too much longer.
We had kids.
You know.
We got married.
Met, got married a year later, and then... Then had the largest baby known to man.
Had a giant child, yes.
Yeah.
His name was like, oh, he's one.
I'm like, he's one?!
Yeah.
He was like, how old do you think he was, like three and a half?
I don't know, he's doing pull-ups on the bar.
He's doing the Iron Cross.
I thought he was watching Honey, I Blew Up the Kid, it was just home movies.
I think it's Honey, I Blew Up the Baby.
Honey, I Shrunk the Kid.
Honey, I Blew Up the Baby.
We have to get the canon of Honey series correct.
Then there's Honey, I Got Punched in the Upper West Side for Rick Moranis.
Yeah, Honey, the Knockout Game.
Gosh, that was tragic.
I'll never walk again.
So, 37 years old.
Okay, 37 years old is when you're looking at becoming a mother at this point.
If you follow Joe Biden's advice, that is when 90% of your eggs are gone.
So here you go, the references are available.
I can say these are in published medical journals, but it's not like this is something.
When people say this is agreed upon in the scientific community, when they say that meaning like puberty blockers are mostly okay, well, we haven't tested that yet.
It's still a hypothesis.
No, this is something that you can very easily measure.
So this is something that is agreed upon because it is correct.
We can actually test to see the levels of fertility.
So here's a quote from it.
We estimate that for 95% of women by the age of 30 years, only 12% of their maximum pre-birth NGF population is present,
and by the age of 40, only 3% remains.
Now, birth complications, of course, go up dramatically.
The risk of Down syndrome, 35-year-olds are 4 1⁄2 times more likely than 25-year-olds.
The risk of stillbirth, right, they're about 1.3 times more likely
if you're 35 to 40 years old, compared to people who are 19 to 34.
There are higher risks of gestational diabetes, preeclampsia, premature birth, right,
and requiring a C-section, miscarriages.
Now, here's why I bring this up.
It's not that you have to be a mother to be happy or to be fulfilled as a woman,
but you need to understand that there is an option that becomes a more distant reality the older that you get.
And I don't think that we are doing young women a service by hiding that and by not bringing up the... It's the same thing where we talked about children on purity blockers.
You need to weigh the risks and rewards.
Of course, John Oliver skims past, in some instances, it may lead to sterility.
Well, hold on a second.
That's a pretty serious consequence.
If you think that motherhood is something that you want as a part of your life, you absolutely cannot be waiting to look for a serious guy until you're 30.
Also, something that can't be statistically observed, I'm willing to bet that the kinds of guys who you would want to be a father at the age of 30 are more difficult to come by.
And here's the issue, ultimately.
This is all part of the big lie.
They want to say the big lie that this wasn't the most fair, free, secure election of all
time.
The big lie that you can have it all, that women, you need to reshuffle your priorities,
namely meaning place a premium on workplace success.
It's enslaved women to the workplace and robbed them of some of life's most fulfilling experiences,
namely being a wife, namely being a mother.
Ask women who are mothers.
Not the ones who've had crack babies.
They threw off the curve.
Well, they've made being a mom an inconvenience.
Right.
You know what I mean?
They've turned it into something that it's like, oh, you don't want to do that.
That's going to tie you down.
It's like, do you understand what it means to be a mom or to be a parent, to be a father?
This is not an inconvenience.
This is a life mission for people.
You will never do anything.
I don't care what company you run.
You will never do anything more fulfilling than being a parent.
Ever in your life.
There is nothing on the planet that can do that for you.
Oh, Nana, who hasn't climbed Kilimanjaro.
Or Everest.
Whatever.
But I'm serious.
You can have experiences that are fantastic.
You can do things that leave an impact on civilization for a very long time with inventing new technologies or maybe figuring out world peace.
I don't know.
But you will never do anything like sowing into the next generation as a parent.
And people oftentimes don't find this out until it's way too late.
And you know why?
Because I try and shut down people like Gus because, oh, you're a white male.
As though we're saying this is the only way for you to be happy.
As though we're saying that all women have to be mothers.
No, no, no.
But you need to have a realistic assessment of your options.
And there has been a systematic corrosion of that from the left.
Not only through feminism and free love, right?
And the idea that you can empower women by turning them into more sexually predatorial creatures like men.
That one kind of backfired.
The whole free the nipple.
Boy, that's the greatest reverse psychology that's ever been pulled on behalf of men.
We're going to screw you!
We're going to show it!
Oh no, please don't!
Let me get my camera.
So that, and then of course the pushing of abortion, which by the way can also increase the likelihood of birth complications.
This idea that we liberate women by trying to create them in the image of men.
Women don't often, there are exceptions, just to be clear, want the same things that men want.
Statistically, women have more regrets if they don't have children.
And by the way, there's a lot of data out there.
What we've been doing since the 1960s isn't working.
Women and girls in the Western world are more unhappy than they've ever been over the last 35 years.
There are a bunch of statistics, but some antidepressant use that's up 65% from 1999 to 2014.
Women are twice as likely to use them as men.
I know you can argue that maybe because men don't get help.
Okay.
But again, we're talking about comparing women to then and now.
Suicidality in girls has increased 12% annually from 2007 to 2014.
And then you see on the flip side of that, because of divorce laws, again, a lot of that has been pushed by the left because of this idea that marriage is something that really isn't a binding contract.
Men are checking out of the marriage pool.
Close to 40%.
So if you're looking for a man, no serious guys until you're 40, well guess what?
You're probably looking at about 40%.
At least it's probably higher in men over the age of 30 who don't want to get married.
And now you're scrambling.
You're racing against the clock.
You've been chasing the wrong things.
Isn't it kind of funny that when you watch every Disney film and you see these leftist films, it's always the business owner, right?
If the businessman shows up, he's bad.
It's a Harry Chapin song, right?
Oh, he only cares about business.
Dad can't come to my baseball game because he's at work.
When it's a woman, however, that should be your singular pursuit because that's where you find self-worth.
All I want Especially for my daughter, and I've been thinking about this a lot, is for her to have a choice, and for her to be accurately, now not a choice to kill somebody else, to have a choice as it relates to her own life.
If she wants to go become a CEO and forego being a mom and a wife, fine.
That's her choice.
But I want her to understand the consequences.
And there's been one side that has been cloaking the consequences because they have a financially vested interest in you being enslaved to the workforce or ultimately being beholden to the government.
And that comes in the form of student loans.
I mean, right, there's a litany of examples that we could list for you.
It's really concerning.
And sure, we see creepy Petto Joe being creepy former Vice President Petto Joe.
But the advice is reflective.
Unfortunately, a cultural undercurrent that is making women less happy than ever.
It's not working.
Yeah.
Well, I think Peddo Joe was also, I mean, not Peddo, what did we call him?
Former Vice President, yeah.
Yeah.
Respect the office.
Right, sorry.
May have just been trying to make a joke and, you know, because when he was born, people really only lived to be 30.
Right, yes.
That's why they have like 12 kids, because like, well, four of them will get kicked by a horse.
Yeah, you never know.
Polio's the other four, and then they got to have two more just to make up for the eight that died from horse and polio.
Yep, and that's making a comeback now.
Yeah, big time.
Thanks, Jenny McCarthy.
We appreciate that, yes.
I think there's also a problem with arrested development in our entire generation.
And I say that dressed like this.
But it really is, I think it's Gen X, Millennials, then you go into Gen whatever.
Z. Z. Yeah, we're boomers to them.
It's like, we made you.
That's what I say to millennials.
Like, I'm a millennial.
Like, okay, boomer.
What?
All right.
You take pride in not knowing anything that came before you?
That's weird.
We'll get into that in a month.
It's very upsetting.
Yeah.
But I think there is an element to that where then it becomes, you know, you're going into dating, you're not really, there's not a maturity now that comes until you're 30.
Like, so regardless of where the biological clock is at, you're not ready to do these things because you're just, The growth isn't there.
And I think also when you bring in stuff like pornography, there's that element where the actual sex act is not the same as the thing that you've been getting through puberty, really.
And that's disappointing to men, possibly to women.
I don't know.
We did a segment, Your Brain on Porn, Gary, was it Dr., was it Gary Wilson?
I can't remember his name.
We talked about that, where they've had thousands of sexual climaxes before they've actually had a sexual interaction with a woman, a lot of young men.
And men now are saying, young men are saying, the juice isn't worth the squeeze.
I don't want to be falsely accused of something.
I don't want to be fleeced.
I don't want to lose my shirt.
So you know what?
I'll just play video games and use pornography.
And it is a second adolescence, and you know what a brilliant ploy is?
Hey, make sure that everyone goes to college and it's paid for by the government so that they are basically experiencing four years of glorified alcoholism until 22 at the minimum.
Well, that's what I mean.
You're essentially doing high school twice at this point.
Right.
Because it's really not this institute of higher learning.
At least you would take your college seriously at some point.
You'd party, but even if you watch old movies, it's still about studying to some degree.
And then maybe you'd go on.
But by the time you're 30, you just stop being a kid.
Things have just shifted, and that's how it appears to me.
Yeah, I know it's called second adolescence, but he's saying no serious guys until you're... That means you don't even start thinking about it.
Yeah, absolutely.
And we've just become, I mean, we've been selfish.
Do you always kind of find this funny when you look back at previous generations, people that are in their maybe 60s, 70s, 80s, and they tell you their life story?
My parents got married at 15 and 16.
My dad was working a full-time job when he was 13 years old, right?
Gross violation of childhood.
Just a different mentality.
There were consequences to their actions.
There was responsibility.
There were people telling them that if you want to get ahead in life, you have to work hard.
Nothing's going to be given to you.
Not everybody went to college.
That was looked at as something that, hey, some people can go to college.
I'm going to go learn a skill in a trade and become very good at what I do and make a pretty good, comfortable living for the rest of my life doing it.
Not anymore.
We've told people that you're entitled to everything.
You can be lazy.
Don't do anything serious until you're in your 30s.
You're making terrible life decisions for people and you're doing it for control.
And you're also not celebrating the differences.
We want to celebrate diversity as it relates to, what, race, as it relates to sex, I'm sorry, gender, I'm sorry, sex, as it relates to sexual orientation.
Why do we assume that it's right for all people to go to college and to get a master's degree And to saddle themselves with that, why don't we assume that it would maybe be comparable to the rest of all of human history, that some people, it's perfectly fine, they should maybe join the military, some people should learn a trade, some people should start a business.
Not everyone needs to go to university, but we do know that if you go to university it is going to stall.
Your development on a personal level, as far as relationships.
People tend to not be engaged in long-term relationships, which is different.
A lot of people used to actually have a high school sweetheart or college sweetheart.
Now we've been encouraged.
No, no, go out and experiment.
By the way, that is something biologically is natural for men.
Doesn't mean it's right.
Women typically, the norm, want to have a lot of sex with one guy.
They want to lock down one guy.
That's kind of the goal.
Someone who's a good provider.
Someone who is a good man who will keep their children safe.
And men want to have sex once with a lot of women.
That's the way we're wired.
It doesn't mean it's right.
We have to curb some of our natural basic instincts, right?
It's a constant struggle if you believe that human beings are inherently flawed.
If you believe that everybody is perfect and God doesn't make mistakes is the philosophy, which is totally different from what we're talking about, but that's what they use as cover for everything.
I want to go on Purity Ploggers.
God doesn't make mistakes.
Okay, all right, your justification is as good as mine.
We've empowered women by saying, hey, let's turn them into men.
It's why female action heroes don't work.
They don't work.
Superheroes, okay.
Superpowers, fine.
But you can't empower women by saying that they're just as good as a man at things that men do better than women.
There are things that women do much better than men, of course.
Being physically strong is not one of them.
For proof, see pull-ups.
Yeah.
Like baking, sewing, not having an opinion.
Yep.
Being barefoot in the kitchen.
Yep.
Yeah.
Cutting the lawn.
I used to be able to say being pregnant, but now I guess the field's open on that one.
Yeah, I guess that was ruined yesterday.
You got some competition, ladies, from being pregnant.
Yes, men can get pregnant too.
So I do want to hear from you guys.
We'll be taking your chats a little bit later.
It is concerning to see this kind of advice being doled out and that this is the state of our culture.
Women are miserable.
Men don't want to engage with women.
And you know what?
You lose your society if you lose the nuclear family.
And it has been very clear.
And I can't say that there's a concerted effort where they've all had a meeting behind our backs.
But again, if you look at every single policy, all of them, let's just say through happenstance from the left, if they had their way, would be detrimental, would be corrosive toward the nuclear family.
Talking about abortion.
Talking about divorce laws.
Talking about student loan forgiveness no matter what the degree is and no matter how long you attend university.
talking about the advice of don't get married until you're in your 30s, talking about placing
a priority on the professional workspace as opposed to your personal workspace.
If you look at all the policies coming from the left, maybe it's an accident, every single
one seems to butt up against the idea of a nuclear family.
And this is important because with this country, a lot of people don't understand this.
And this is what I talked about this with Dave Ruhm when we were talking about marriage
a long time ago.
I know you'll say racist white guys.
Okay, whatever.
The Founding Fathers, I think they got some things right.
Most things right.
But they understood that for us to have a limited government society, before federal government, before state government, before municipal government, you had to have self-governance.
And that's why they believed that the nuclear family was the central building block to a free society, and that's why we had marriage laws that encouraged it.
Because they believe that that was what was best for people, for families, for communities.
And now he said, no, no, no, no, we were maybe wrong about that.
Well, what data do you have that says you were wrong about that?
All of the evidence that we have from the last 40 years, it's made women less happy, more suicidal, more miserable.
It's not a good thing.
I think that's really what it boils down to.
Is your life any better?
Or do you think it would be better if you follow the advice of the Kamala Harris's of the world, you know, 1% of the Democratic primary vote?
Hey, I also forgot.
Go to prepwithcrowder.com.
Did you guys see this?
It's the food supply.
Do I have it?
You get $250 off on a 3-month emergency food supply.
Prepwithcrowder.com.
That's actually the lowest price in, what is it, like 10 years?
Something like that?
What was that giant tub you gave the kids for Halloween?
Oh, I don't know what's in there.
Is that like a 3-month supply?
Because that looks like a 1-month supply.
I think I might have put some of the supplies in there and the rest was sand.
What?
I think they're a little underpriced because they know we're all going to need them.
Yes.
You just put glass on the can in there?
Supply and demand.
Alright, so this brings us on to anything else you guys want to hear on the show, we can go on to the economy.
Let's go on to the economy because Joe's screwing that up too.
Yes.
Everything Joe touches recoils.
Have you noticed this is happening with the economy?
It really does.
Economy recoiling.
It's like a schoolhouse rock.
Oh no!
I'm sure there's a schoolhouse rock thing about supply-side economics.
I have no idea.
Oh, he's a creepy pedophile!
I want to stay in committee!
Look at what he's doing to that girl!
Stop touching my panties!
It's just a younger Bill with a bow.
Oh!
He's fondling that female Bill!
Yeah, the dollar bill's just shrinking.
What's happening to me?
Good news, young female Bill!
You've been sold as property to former Vice President Joe Biden.
Oh no!
He's gonna do all sorts of things to you.
Oh boy, we yearn for the days of just being staffed to Bill Clinton.
How far we've fallen with dark times.
Okay.
So yesterday, while eating an ice cream cone, former Vice President Joe Biden said that he wasn't at all, and this is how you see how out of touch they are, that he's not concerned about the economy.
Just listen to him articulate it.
I'm concerned about the rest of the world.
Does that make sense?
Yes.
Our economy is going as hell.
Internally.
Inflation is worldwide.
It's worse off everywhere else than it is in the United States.
So the problem is the lack of economic growth and sound policy in other countries, not so much ours.
And that's having worldwide inflation as a consequence.
Just for the record, just so you know, ice cream cones do create brain freeze, not dementia.
I'm sorry, I didn't- I didn't- I hadn't watched the rest of the- Oh, you hadn't?
The problem is the rest of the world is making bad decisions.
I just know that- Not us!
You know he was told that he'd be rewarded at the end of the day with that waffle cone.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
He was- He's like, I gotta answer questions, but- It's the tonight dope.
Yes.
You think that's gonna bother me?
I've been looking forward to this all day.
Oh, come on, man.
He couldn't even hold taking a bite.
He's like, I got a bite.
I finished my brussel sprouts, now you're ruining- You're ruining my dessert.
I think my teeth might fall.
Come on!
It's soft.
It's easy to gum.
Come on, look at how not crowded this place is.
My economy is great!
The president's in here and no one's in here.
In an ice cream.
That's how great everything's going.
Yes, it's like a school of fish moving around a shark.
By the way, exact same day, Bloomberg Economics projected a not Mostly.
Just high?
A 100% chance of a recession in the next 12 months.
You know, it's really interesting they come out with a prediction of the next 12 months being a recession when we're already in a recession by definition!
Yeah.
Sorry.
Yeah, but this one's super bad.
Yes.
Is it different?
Sorry, you meant to say super sound.
Super sound.
Super strong as hell.
Strong as hell.
Our economy's strong as hell.
It's other places.
They're the problem, not us.
It's like China, who has our money.
Yeah.
I got five million.
My brother and my son.
I'm not supposed to say that.
Did I say that?
They funneled me back a little bit.
I hate Wesley.
You know why our economy's fine?
Because I'm fine.
Yeah.
Yeah, you're maybe not.
You're probably not.
I got money.
I only raise taxes.
I don't have anyone making...
More than, what do I make?
You make $400,000.
Only everybody making more than $400,000 a year.
More than.
And then all the rest of the stuff, I don't need to tell you.
Does no one else see this?
He raised taxes on people exclusively making more than his salary.
Does no one else see that?
How did he just pick it arbitrarily?
He picked, what's the presidential salary?
Anyone who makes more than that.
All right, so September inflation was 8.2%, okay, as far as the year-over-year, and actually there are different metrics.
It's significantly higher.
That's the best number.
They pull out energy prices and food, I believe, to get core inflation, and I'm like, oh yeah, nobody has to pay for those.
The most significant costs?
Yeah.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
I understand that those things vary greatly throughout the year, but in situations where energy prices are going really, really high, and food is high, people still have to pay it, so it's inflation.
So yeah, and by the way, when I adjusted for inflation, wages are actually down.
3% year over year.
So let me give you a few figures on inflation just so you know and then we'll get to why Joe Biden is actually avoiding discussing the economy.
He was cornered here.
People are like 3% that doesn't sound like a lot.
You typically get about a 4 or 5% raise yearly.
That's what most people get unless you're doing something much different than you did the year before.
3 to 5%, sometimes 6%.
Most of your raise is gone from that.
Your purchasing power is down 3%, not including how it's affected by energy.
What do they exclude?
Energy?
And food.
Almost the essentials.
Well, they only pick the things you need to live.
Yes.
Because without heat you die of the cold and without food, you know, you starve.
Well, you know, it's all part of the anti-human climate agenda.
It is.
So, they're anti-human.
They want you dead.
That's the ideal scenario.
And I'm not saying that's why inflation is terrible.
I think it's because they're incompetent.
But let's be honest.
If the Democrats had their way perfectly, you'd be dead and we'd have massive numbers of undocumented migrants as a new voter base.
That is the goal.
Read the Green New Deal.
It's only like four pages.
You can do it in about six minutes.
It's written in crayon.
Yes.
Yes.
On the back of a placemat by AOC.
Right.
Yeah.
And she didn't even get the maze right.
No.
Never does.
So here in, for example, North Texas is an example.
We have inflation figures.
Housing is up 10.6%.
Transportation over 13%.
Household energy is up 31%.
And I'd like to hear your energy costs.
I heard this from Reuters this morning.
I don't have it in front of me.
Like, the utility costs this winter will be 200-something dollars higher than last year.
Comment below what you're seeing as far as your costs right now.
We'll go back to the Jimmy Carter days of just wear a sweater.
Now, let's compare this- Mine's more than doubled.
Has it?
Already, yes.
More than doubled.
Mine's about double already.
Really?
Yes.
Doubled?
Yeah, we haven't even gotten to the worst of it yet.
No.
Doubled.
Ugh.
Mine hasn't doubled, but I'm incredibly cheap.
You're a jerk.
You should suffer as much as I do.
The cold and dark is cheap.
And Stephen liked it.
Oh, that's true.
You do keep your place really cool.
Now, let's compare this.
Here's the thing, where he tries to compare it to the rest of the world.
Yes.
To compare it to the rest of the world.
I have a space heater.
I'm a space heater, but don't worry, I take the edge off, I put a blanket over it.
Right by a bearskin rug.
No problems at all.
And a dehumidifier.
Works wonders.
So, let's compare it to former Vice President, sorry, the former Vice President to Joe Biden.
Let's compare it to President Trump.
Let's not just compare it to the rest of the world, but we do have some A-B comparisons.
Okay.
So, real wages under Biden, they're down, you know, anywhere, we've talked about how you're purchasing power down 3%, but real wages are down 8.5% nationally, according to the New York Post and the Federal Reserve.
Okay, Donald Trump, they were up 5%.
The average salary increase, I don't have the source in front of me, I'm sure you guys can get it there in the edit bay, over $5,000 in the first three years of Donald Trump.
As opposed to, I believe it was $1,000-something under eight years of Barack Obama.
In this case, they're actually down.
Let's look at the gas prices.
Again, while we're talking about the economy.
Under former Vice President Joe Biden, $387.
Under Donald Trump, at a similar point in time in his presidency, $257.
The consumer price index.
Under Biden, it's over 13.2% in two years.
For Donald Trump, it's 7.6% in four years.
for Donald Trump at 7.6% in four years. These are incredibly, this is, I think this is the
most dramatic swing short of World War II that we've seen, certainly in our lifetime in the United States.
Oh, yeah.
It should be going the other way, though.
Right.
So if you had told me right now that Joe Biden was president leading up to COVID and this was what was happening to the economy at the very beginning of COVID becoming a problem, I would expect that.
And then Donald Trump was the guy who came when the economy opened up.
And so, of course, the numbers are going to go up and everything's going to be much better.
When former Vice President Joe Biden came.
Former Vice President Trump.
Yeah, yeah.
No, no.
He has everything, every tailwind you could possibly want.
The world just reopened.
Your numbers should be amazing.
Yeah.
No, we thought that it hit rock bottom, and that was a political ploy.
And now it's down.
Then he came in and we're like, oh my gosh, there's another rock bottom.
There's more rock down at the bottom.
Was that the bitch from The Ring?
There is no bottom.
There is no bottom.
And usually you're judged harshly as a president if you haven't seen the increase to be greater than inflation.
In other words, it consistently goes up wages.
This is almost unheard of of wages going down.
We're talking about your purchasing power in relation to inflation, but usually wages go up.
And you're seen as a failure if they don't go up enough to sort of keep up with the costs of goods and services.
They're going down.
So when we used to criticize, for example, Barack Obama, you'd say, well, if you actually look at the increase in wages, for example, it's only $1,000 under eight years.
Donald Trump over $5,000 in three years.
Now we're saying it's a net negative.
The severity cannot be overstated.
And by the way, this is how you know they're so disconnected from the average American.
The two most important issues right now to voters, according to a new Harvard-Harris poll, Inflation, 37%.
Economy and jobs, 29%.
That's what Americans care about right now.
This is what affects most of you.
That's usually the case in a national election, but it's absolutely the case right now.
And he knows it's terrible when he's not being caught off guard with his butter pecan waffle cone.
Yes.
So he's focusing on everything other than the economy.
Have you noticed?
Before midterms.
He's focused on buying your votes.
So, good example, student loans.
Applications for the $20,000 Student Loan Forgiveness Program.
They opened, I believe it was yesterday, I don't know if it's today.
I think it's going to cost us about $200 million, if I'm not mistaken.
There are different estimates.
But it's going to be, you know, give or take a couple hundred million dollars.
Billions?
Did I say millions?
You said millions.
Oh, I'm an idiot.
Admonish me.
I meant billions.
I think it's the billions.
No, no, it's definitely the billions.
Please, hit the admonish button.
Admonish.
You're like Dr. Evil.
Hold on, hold on.
Let me savor it.
One million dollars.
And everybody just laughs, like, yeah, I got that.
We'll pay, I mean, one hundred million.
Alright, that's better than the topless Tuesday.
That is the greatest reverse psychology.
I was like, guys, don't admonish me.
Ha!
Yes.
Again.
Yes.
Spit in the show, man.
Now.
Oil prices under former Vice President Joe Biden.
This is another example.
He is going to release another 10 to 15 million barrels from the Strategic Reserve, is what he's going to do.
Of course, this is a guy who shut down a lot of drilling, where they say actually increased more drilling on federal land than anyone else, but that's because he shut down more than anyone else.
It's really hard to get a handle on a lot of these numbers because of COVID.
Again, this was by design.
The economy was created so that there could be a rebound effect.
No one really expected there to be no rebound and for it to get worse.
Yeah, you know what we tend to hang on to a lot of oil for in the Strategic Petroleum Reserves?
Wars.
Nuclear wars, potentially.
Or maybe a war in the Middle East.
We tend to hold on to it, but we're at a 40-year low.
I think sometime this month we're supposed to hit the 40-year low number, all because Joe Biden wants to buy your vote.
That's the most important thing.
Here's what I think everyone needs to kind of understand.
Former Vice President Joe Biden and the Democrats, they do not care about you.
And their policies will hurt you.
For example...
Joe Biden tried to pressure OPEC to withhold this decision to cut production until after midterms.
Now, the White House denied it.
He specifically asked until after the midterms.
Why is that so evil?
That tells you that this former vice president does not care that your gas prices go up, that your food prices go up, that your energy prices go up, that they skyrocket.
That's not what bothers him, so long as he wins the midterms.
Think about what that tells you.
It's not how can I solve the problem for Americans, it's how can I hide the problem until the midterms so that I'm not embarrassed.
This is a person who does not care about you, he cares about the greater good of the Democratic Party, which does not look out for the interests of the American people.
We're at that point right now.
Think about Bane, Batman, the Elites when he's going, hey look, can you just hold off until the midterms?
And afterwards you can do whatever the hell they want.
White House denied it.
Then according to the Saudis themselves, they released a document.
It said, the government of the kingdom clarified through its continuous consultation with the U.S.
administration that all economic analyses indicate that postponing the OPEC Plus decision for a month So they didn't say midterms.
But in this release, all references available at lateralcredit.com, it was a decision to postpone it for a month.
Why?
Why just for a month?
According to what has been suggested, who would suggest it, would have had negative economic consequences.
So there's also a lie.
He doesn't care about you.
He says, can you just postpone it until after midterms?
He says, I never said that.
Then the side is going to go like, yeah, yeah, he did say that and we're not going to do it.
I mean, how many times do you have to be caught?
If Saudi's going like, why would we bring it up?
Yes.
I mean, why would we not?
I mean, I didn't pull this out of the blue.
Yes, I didn't even want to discuss this.
This is kind of uncomfortable for me.
This is on you.
You've put me in an untenable position and I'm a terrorist.
Yes.
You mean my car if I lay and then he gets on a camel?
Yes.
Where's my ticking sport coat?
Yes.
Thank you.
Where's my shoe bombs?
I have funny feet.
One is a nine, one is an eleven.
One is a ski.
Snowshoe, really.
The point is, you need not concern... It's a cultural difference.
We do this in Saudi Arabia.
It's fun.
Yes.
Ignore the ticking.
So, in case you're saying, oh, that's racist.
Maybe a little bit.
But here's actually...
The Saudis rejecting Biden's request saying that he would face consequences.
Here's where it comes from.
We should.
We should.
And I am.
Oh, this is him first.
In the process, when the House and Senate gets back, they're going to have to, there's going to be some consequences for what they've done with Russia.
Okay.
Well, the Saudis pushed back.
by offering their own consequences.
And here's the thing, whatever the negative stereotype is that we're not supposed to make jokes about, okay?
Yes.
Anybody that challenges the existence of this country and this kingdom All of us, we are projects of jihad and martyrdom.
That's my message to anybody that thinks that they can threaten us.
I love that guy, he's like, and martyrdom!
Yeah, he's a hype man.
He was auditioning for Saudi terrorist death comedy jam.
That's what was going on right there.
Yes.
And martyrdom!
That's it!
And martyrdom!
Oh, shit!
You effed up, Joe!
You effed up!
I ain't scared of you, Mother Effers.
Just wait until September.
KINGDOM STAR!
laughter laughter
laughter laughter
I'm getting to it.
You're always with the martyrdom.
Go be a martyr.
Go.
I am the one who crafts.
I'm the storyteller.
You come right out of the chute.
I have to build to martyrdom.
Instead of hamburgers, just hummus.
He's like, hold on, hold on.
You do know martyrdom means you die, right?
I'm not sure if we want that on the brochure.
Yes.
Well, no, it's for you, Martyrdom.
You said it.
Yes, not me.
You said it.
I was saying it for you.
Why shouldn't you have taken the role of Martyr Hype Man?
I don't know.
I thought I was Vice President.
No, no, no.
You're Martyr slash Hype Man.
So, here's the thing.
By focusing the policies on appeasing the party right now, which is, this is where we are.
It's diametrically opposed to you.
The American people.
The best interest of you.
He's hurt America and he's made the world a more dangerous place.
Now, I just saw this on CNN where they were saying, you know, Donald Trump, sure, maybe he didn't start any new wars, but we almost had World War III.
Yeah, where?
Russia's threatening nukes now, not then.
If we can't agree that he is the only president in modern American history, factually, who hasn't, who didn't start any new wars, isn't that, I mean, that's a good thing.
It's just really everything is politicking at this point, and unfortunately there is one party that is diametrically opposed to your best interests.
They're more concerned with getting your kids on puberty blockers, and then they blame you and gaslight you for saying, well, why do you care about that?
Aren't there more pressing issues?
Sure, let's talk about the economy.
I can't talk to you about that.
Why not?
Because you're a stranger.
How about an actual war that's coming?
Oh, no, no.
I want to talk about the one that Trump almost started by actually going and talking to dictators and trying to fix the situation.
I hear your concerns, and I want to circle back to that.
Have you seen our new student loan giveaways?
Oh, not bad.
By the way, look, I understand that inflation is normally tied to government spending a lot of times, us pumping too much money into the economy and overheating, but we just don't agree with that.
So we're going to put more money into a really inflated economy.
That should work just fine.
Yeah.
And by the way, a really important point, too, researchers, when we were talking about this, they made this point when Biden says, the crazy MAGA crowd.
That's another thing.
He wants to draw your attention to the crazy MAGA crowd.
I'm not talking about moderate Republicans who I work with all the time.
Zero voted for the inflation reduction.
None.
What does that tell you?
Are all of them MAGA Republicans?
That includes, by the way, the Liz Cheney's of the world.
None.
So who's the extremist?
Can you think of anything?
I honestly can't think of something, I'm sure there is, but nothing comes to mind as far as a greater perversion of being a public servant than asking a foreign government to just put that off, just punt that until midterms so I can win.
I don't care what happens after that.
I can't think of something not only more evil, but that is throwing you under the bus.
Well, that is Barack Obama's playbook.
Do you remember when he said to Putin, after the election I'll have more flexibility?
I'll actually be able to do what I want to do without having to pay the political price for doing it?
Look, Donald Trump understood that when America is strong, the world is a safer place.
Joe Biden and Barack Obama did not understand that.
Fundamentally, when America is strong, the world is a safer place because people are in check more.
They don't have as much leverage on us.
When they do, they can do whatever they want and we can't do anything about it.
When Saudi controls the price at the pump, essentially, because they control how much oil is coming out of these massive production companies in all these different countries, We have to deal with that problem when we're not pumping it here.
We have it here.
Well, yeah.
He understood that.
You can't be a global superpower if nobody's afraid of you.
Right.
You also can't be a global superpower if you're dependent on everyone else.
Here's the thing.
Exactly.
Let's say we didn't have the natural resources.
Let's say that we didn't have access to oil and energy.
There are a lot of smaller countries, for example, in Europe, or even you have these countries, of course, in Africa.
Pick any other continent.
The thing is, we basically are a continent plus Canada and Mexico, I guess.
Eh, whatever.
But the point is, the United States is big enough.
We have everything here.
Not only every climate, but we have pretty much every natural resource that we would need to not only feed our own people, to not only power the energy that we need for our own people, but to be a net exporter of all of it.
Those guys threatening martyrdom and the teddy bears have their picnic hats?
They would not.
It couldn't be less relevant if we just said, you know what?
We're going to open up access to all of our own energy.
And do you think the environment is better off with the Saudis holding all the cards?
It's an issue that obviously boggles the mind, but again, it's all politicking at your expense.
And there's a real problem.
I'm concerned that right now we have people, especially after COVID, the people who saved, the people who are financially responsible.
When you say, well, hold on a second, who's hurt by student loans?
Who's hurt by Insert Entitlement Program here?
How about the people who saved?
How about the people who said, hey, instead of relying on the government for a student loan, I'm going to go to a trade school.
I'm going to save up because I want to become, I don't know, a home provider.
I'm going to rent some property.
Oh wait, there's rent forgiveness.
Oh wait, I'm actually disincentivized from saving because someone else can just have that forgiven through what?
My tax dollars.
It's not a never-ending supply of money.
And we see when push comes to shove behind closed doors, they will take actions, meaning they, this administration right now, that fly in direct opposition to your best interests and, ironically, that means against the best interests of the world.
Yep, I know you may not like it.
I was raised in Canada.
There's an incredible jealousy complex.
If the United States is well off, the rest of the world is well off.
Do you know how I know?
Because you guys had a hissy fit when the United States was maybe considering, under Donald Trump, hauling out of NATO, which was a bluff.
But the point is, NATO is basically, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, let's, the United States, us too.
We want to be protected.
We foot the bill for the rest of the world.
And then we screw our own people.
And you're called a racist if you say, you know what, I just think we should look out for Americans first.
I'm worried about the cultural shift of disincentivizing financial responsibility.
You are punished if you're a contributor, and you are rewarded if you are a taker.
Why?
Because they want to buy your votes.
At least until midterms.
And then the chickens come home to roosters.
Or is it the roosters come home to chicken?
I have no idea.
Share the show.
We're going to go to Mug Club.
If you share it right now, it's caring.
Helps with the algorithm here on YouTube.
And hit like, all that stuff.
Is there anything else that I'm missing?
All right, YouTube.
Do you want to say a channel this time?
Go ahead.
