	Ding.
	Before I get to the drinking game rules, we have Gerald A. in the studio, and he is sick.
	He's playing his flu game tonight.
	I am playing my flu game, but don't worry.
	I came prepared.
	The cure's all that ails ya.
	Yes, yeah.
	I don't think that's actually how it works, but maybe if it's mulled with spices.
	Well, maybe some rum would do that, I don't know.
	Oh yeah, spiced rum, that's right.
	But not all rum is spiced, Gerald.
	Already, he gets it wrong.
	He gets it wrong.
	What kind of pirate are you anyway?
	Well, not a good one.
	I think it's implied.
	Also, to my left, your right, so you have to do this stage.
	You're technically upstage a little bit for the audience.
	We do a little bit of stage terminology.
	Are you playing his theme music?
	Yeah.
	Bring it on.
	It's Brian Cowell.
	He's going to be in New Brunswick, New Jersey.
	See, I'm thinking of the province.
	Stress factory!
	May 11th through the 13th.
	You can go to briancowell.com for more dates.
	Looking forward to tonight?
	I'm excited.
	I have my clipboard.
	I don't know what's on here, but it looks official.
	Well, you would if you did the prep.
	I'm going to lick my finger when I turn the page.
	Now... They don't call him the best color man in the business for nothing, Bob.
	Just don't do it with a comic book, because that takes its street value from $15,000 to nothing.
	I didn't know that.
	I found that out.
	But it's my saliva and I'm a celebrity, so... So, we have a drinking game tonight, by the way.
	Oh, you got to already make an adjustment here?
	You could... What happened?
	Well, I can use my stage voice.
	In the lower third there, Toolman.
	The drinking game rules.
	Let me make sure I have these rules.
	You can play along with us and send in your, I don't know, your sloshed pictures.
	Anytime you hear any of the above, you take a drink.
	If you hear January 6th, if you hear excuse me, if you hear the words indictment or impeachment, anytime there's a thug life moment, and anytime Donald Trump insults the host, you finish your drink.
	Number two, please, because I don't think that was fair.
	I need it.
	Anytime you're here.
	Excuse me.
	Excuse you.
	Excuse me.
	Excuse you.
	You should be.
	I'm excusing.
	No, I excuse you.
	Excuse me.
	I won't be sipping my wine.
	I'll be swilling my wine.
	We also, by the way, because Title 42 is ending, so we actually have some correspondence tonight.
	We have, well, first off, we go now live to the border.
	We have a live border cam.
	Well, that is tough.
	We also have a live Biden cam tonight, so we actually managed to spare no expense.
	We have a camera over there at the White House to see what's going on, and Thomas Finnegan is on the ground tonight at the town hall.
	So what do you guys expect tonight?
	Here's what I will say, and bring it up there in the lower box so that people know it's ready to go there, Toolman.
	I expect the world to remember what they liked about Donald Trump tonight.
	I expect it to be biased, but you have Caitlyn Collins, and I can hear your little boy out there screaming.
	It's a bomb going off.
	Don't worry.
	All right, well, that's fine.
	Hey, look, it's older, fatter Josh Gad on CNN.
	Very good.
	It's Caitlin Collins who's going to be doing this tonight.
	She's had a lot of run-ins with Donald Trump, right?
	I expect there to be intense biases, and we'll be fact-checking that.
	I expect it to be tilted, and I expect them to start with the premise that is alive.
	I've been watching CNN all day, so you don't have to.
	Where they've been talking about Donald Trump losing this civil lawsuit.
	By the way, not sexual assault, battery.
	This is battery.
	And they changed the statute of limitations just last year so that it would extend into Thanksgiving this year so that they could say that's battery.
	They're going to be bringing that up and they were talking about it today and they said, how does this hurt Trump?
	How does this hurt Donald Trump?
	And Jake Tapper said, along with one of his lackeys, well, you know, for people who are always Trump, they'll still be always Trump, but this may affect the Republicans who are mostly focused on winning a general.
	They don't want to acknowledge that the last two polls have Donald Trump beating Biden in a general, and by more than DeSantis.
	Doesn't matter where you line up!
	Those are the, that's the definition of fake news.
	You do not have to start with right now, ooh, all this bombastic prickishness.
	That's why Donald Trump beats Joe Biden by a wider margin, by a heftier margin than DeSantis.
	So I expect them to be biased.
	I expect them to not really face up to that fact right now, because the whole narrative is, if you want Donald Trump, okay, he has his base, but he won't win in a general.
	That doesn't seem to be the case.
	And I expect them to bring up the fake sexual assault.
	And by that, I mean, he wasn't actually, he wasn't actually found guilty of sexual assault, just battery and defamation.
	Yeah.
	Well, and he'll appeal that, I'm assuming.
	I assume you can appeal a civil verdict.
	I don't know, man.
	I'm not a legal scholar over here.
	Get Rackete on here!
	I know, right?
	Exactly.
	Wouldn't you say that people are tuning in, though, to see Trump go off script?
	Because you know he's been coached a certain way, but we want to see more of what he did in the deposition.
	He's just such a loose cannon that you never know, and this could be historic.
	Yeah, I think it's going to introduce people to Donald Trump all over again.
	Which is great.
	It's like renewing your vows.
	It's a must-watch TV, let's be honest.
	CNN!
	And you made a good point why they have Caitlin Collins.
	And by the way, for those who don't know, Caitlin Collins is the one with hairy forearms at CNN.
	Go ahead.
	I thought it was a little bit weird because you've got Jake Tapper and you've got Wolf Blitzer, these two, and it's not because they're men.
	Don't get me wrong, I'll get to that point in just a second.
	They're not men!
	They're not men!
	A lot of the hosts at CNN weren't men, even though they were men, if you know what I mean.
	I think the problem is that you put kind of an attractive, younger woman out there with Donald Trump, so that if Donald Trump pushes back, like his characteristic thing to do is to push back on the news and call them fake news, it'll look like he's beating up on somebody.
	If it's a guy, it's a different story, right?
	Unless it's Stelter, but they don't bring him back.
	You see him talking trash about Tucker?
	Tucker was toxic to Fox News!
	He was hemorrhaging sponsors!
	Have you guys heard of clinical projection?
	I'm straight!
	The number one show in all of cable news was Toxic!
	Oh my god, he's defecting!
	Exactly.
	No, so I think what you'll hear a lot of from Caitlin is if there's a legitimate question asked by a Republican voter, right, in the GOP primary, that's the people that are supposed to be in the room, you'll hear a, well, or actually, right, from her to try to press Donald Trump on something where she would never press Joe Biden.
	And it also helps set her up to ask him about Set it up as though he's guilty of rape or sexual assault, right?
	Yes.
	How do you feel to be a rapist, Mr. Former President?
	Right, exactly.
	Yeah, in so many words.
	And here's the thing you need to understand.
	People will say, oh, you're gaslit.
	Oh, this is just the attack they use against women.
	Jean, is it Jean A. Carroll?
	E. Jean Carroll.
	E. Jean Carroll.
	Her name is E.
	Wait, is her name, is it Jean E. Carroll?
	I think it's E. Jean Carroll.
	Her last name is Carroll.
	Yes.
	And we know that.
	And she was in there somewhere.
	And when I say she's an insane person, look, this is the person who sued Donald Trump decades later for a rape that didn't happen, but sexual battery, which means he touched her and she didn't like it.
	But this is, I have plenty of clips.
	Just see this.
	She's crazy.
	Oh, clip sexy!
	I think most people think of rape as a violent assault.
	I think most people think of rape as being sexy.
	Let's take a short break.
	Think of the fantasies.
	We're going to take a quick break.
	You're fascinating to talk to.
	She's looking at his shoulder for no reason.
	She's looking straight at his chest.
	She's just going, let's see if they think rape is sexy.
	That is the most awkward I have seen him.
	I don't think she knows that Anderson Cooper's gay.
	I think rape is sexy, Anderson.
	She's licking her lips.
	I like me a silver-haired fox.
	He's like, I like... I like dick.
	What's going on?
	Ew.
	What?
	What, were you about to say something, Brian?
	She didn't take her eyes off his delicious torso.
	No.
	To me, you're just a torso.
	To me, you're just a body.
	By the way, the guy right now on CNN, bring this up full screen.
	Do you think that this guy believes he's fooling anybody with that hairpiece?
	Like, do you think that he's sitting there like, yep, it's like Frank Luntz.
	No one's the wiser, they're looking at my shitty sneakers.
	Sir, your sneakers are not in frame.
	Space looks tight for a 50-year-old.
	So, I'm trying to think, what do we think are the most important clips for people to see here?
	I think probably some clips between Collins and Donald Trump.
	Yeah, I think that's probably the best, right?
	So she obviously, she was, I'll go through a couple of things really quickly.
	In 2014, hired by the Daily Caller.
	2017, Daily Caller White House correspondent.
	Moved over to CNN in 2017 and actually said that obviously the Daily Caller, and this is a quote from her, is a more ideologically aligned organization than CNN, which is worldwide and has such a range of coverage.
	Trying to get hired much, I think?
	Right, yeah.
	Seems a little bit weird there, but then she's named 2021 CNN chief White House correspondent.
	Who owned a chief.
	I just want to hear Trump.
	Do you think what's he over under Trump looks at her and goes, you're not my type either.
	Yeah.
	Let's, you know what?
	Tweet in.
	You can tweet me at Ask Crowder.
	Use the hashtag CrowderTownHall.
	Let's see who thinks that's a good, I bet you that's going to happen.
	I got to hear that.
	I guarantee.
	Cause if she starts pressing him, he's going to be honest.
	I'll say it again.
	I don't want to be rude.
	You're not my type.
	You're not my type either.
	I wouldn't want to swoon you.
	You're not, no, excuse me, excuse me, you're not my type.
	Don't take it personally, a lot of people, because my type, frankly, excuse me, is pretty, I like good looking, attractive, I noticed Gerald used that term loosely tonight, Caitlyn, attractive, right?
	Tell me I would never say that and that's my excuse me.
	That's my type and you're frankly not that right Your teeth are too small.
	So it's just it's just personal preference.
	I like pretty women.
	I like feminine women I like women who are good-looking.
	I like women who they're attractive and you're not Ten minutes later she's like, okay.
	So let's show you, this is the person they chose to do this town hall with Donald Trump, who by the way, beats Joe Biden, former Vice President Biden, by a wide margin right now, by even more than DeSantis.
	They're pretty close.
	DeSantis and Donald Trump are within the margin of error as far as by how much they beat Biden, but they are not within the margin of error according to ABC and Washington Post.
	Now two polls in a row in beating Biden.
	So, this is damage control.
	I expect this to be a way to try and kneecap Donald Trump, to try and Tonya Harding him before he gets started.
	And that's why they picked the hairy forum lady at CNN.
	Let's show you a montage of their interactions that have been... contentious?
	You ran your campaign promising supporters that Mexico is going to pay for the wall and that the wall was going to be made of concrete.
	You just said earlier that the wall could be made of steel and right now our government is shut down over a demand from your administration that the American taxpayer pay for the wall.
	So how can you say you're not failing on that promise to your supporters?
	A very nice question, so beautifully asked, even though I just answered it.
	Has any governor agreed that you have the authority to decide when their state is going to back up?
	I haven't asked anybody.
	You know why?
	Because I don't have to.
	I think it was a fake report done by CNN.
	The problem is you don't like the truth.
	So, you know, as far as I'm concerned, I want to go.
	I want to go to the next.
	Thank you very much, everybody.
	Thank you.
	So is she the one, is that?
	That's the one who's conducting this tonight.
	Oh wow, okay.
	And don't remember, or don't forget, they actually brought her in to kind of co-host the morning show that has been so wonderful with Don Lemon and Poppy Harlow.
	Yes, and there's a montage there but we can go to it later because I think we have to.
	We'll go to it later, yeah.
	I don't know if Donald Trump will appear on CNN at all.
	I think I know your opinion, Brian.
	Do you think it's a good idea for him to appear?
	I do indeed.
	I knew he would say that.
	I think you're right because I think, correct me if I'm wrong, I think you're predicating this on reaching other people, right?
	Having a dialogue across the aisle.
	Well, I'm more interested in engaging.
	I like that he's engaging in the belly of the beast.
	And I agree.
	He's in the maw, in the round.
	I agree with that, except for the fact That CNN has no audience if not for Donald Trump.
	It's the same reason that, you know, you don't just debate every single Twitter egg.
	Donald Trump is giving, they need Donald Trump.
	But he can use that to his advantage.
	I'm making your ratings, you need me.
	That to me is a pretty cool card.
	That's a good point, but I think unfortunately they're so short-sighted they don't care.
	They still want to get rid of him.
	Do you not think he should, would you have advised him not to do I think that Donald Trump, he should have done it just independently is what I think.
	At least the first go around.
	He should have done it, for example, he does some stuff on Rumble or whether it be Truth Social.
	So as not to give CNN... Yeah, he should have done it first.
	That way he can, it's almost like shopping.
	Shopping it around.
	People go, oh my gosh, look at what he did.
	He did way bigger numbers than our network could do with him.
	And then he says, you know, who wants some?
	Who wants the biggest numbers at that point?
	Then he can maybe have some influence.
	What about the cachet he gets from being able to beat, or at least engage with people who he knows have a bias against him?
	I don't think that's why he's doing it, though.
	I think he's doing it because he's mad at Fox News, and rightfully so.
	Because I think more damaging than lies, or even lies by omission, which are very damaging, it goes this way.
	What's most damaging with the media?
	Lies.
	Outright lies.
	Bias.
	That would be like MSNBC.
	Okay, but everyone knows what they're getting.
	Lies by omission.
	That would be CNN once upon a time when they had actual ratings.
	Even more dangerous are half-truths.
	And that's what you get at Fox News.
	And I think that Donald Trump feels really burned by that because he knows that they were actively trying To collude against him, to use the word, and they were supposed to be out.
	It's very different when someone puts on your team jersey.
	Yeah.
	Right?
	It ends up being, like in Christianity, apostasy.
	So let's look at Cena.
	They just had their, by the way, lowest rated month in a decade.
	You know what their numbers were during primetime?
	What?
	122,000.
	Ain't close to Crowder!
	Sorry.
	Nary a demo viewer.
	No, I think this was just Bill Devane watching 122,000 times.
	Yep, that's what it says right there.
	So it's terrible, man.
	So lowest rated month, they fired Brian Stelter.
	They fired Don Lemon.
	CNN Plus was cancelled after two weeks?
	Less than a month, I think.
	It was less than a month?
	Yeah.
	So they need Donald Trump, and he really is giving them a leg up.
	You guys comment.
	Look, you tell me what you guys think.
	I have two minds about it.
	I think he should have done it independently first.
	You know what I thought you'd think would have been a great thing to do, and I'm serious?
	He should have said, pay me a million dollars.
	Yes.
	For real.
	Like, you want me on you?
	You want me on you?
	Pay me, pay me, pay me half the advertising revenue.
	You should have demanded what was just awarded to that crazy broad Carol.
	Five million dollars.
	Pay me, I don't know, five million dollars.
	I'll do it.
	Or maybe five million batteries you could give me.
	Pay my legal fees.
	Energizer.
	None of that, none of that generic shit.
	So there's two things that I like about this.
	One, this could be an epic troll, right?
	Because he knows CNN is going to get absolutely lambasted, right, for this.
	And he already has.
	Right.
	And people are going to be mad at him.
	But pair this with he said he's not going to do the first debate and the first debate in August is on what network?
	Fox.
	Right.
	Right.
	So he's it's a bit of a power play, but it's also a pretty cool troll because CNN can't win.
	No, it's true.
	Everybody who likes him is pissed off.
	He knows that they have to watch this ratings spike and then, like a fight in the wind, gone.
	Forever.
	It really is.
	Because it's more painful to have loved, Brian, and lost, they say.
	That's right.
	Touch me again, I love that.
	By the way, your sweater's pilling.
	This is Kashmir.
	Kashmir.
	You know how I say Kashmir?
	Yeah, I do.
	I got it from the Kashmir Valley, everyone.
	I don't even think they call it that there.
	Not true at all.
	I have no idea.
	So use the promo code... So soft on the top, so hard underneath.
	CrowderTownHall.
	Sorry.
	No, that's fine.
	At louderscrowder.com slash MugClub.
	And of course, CrowderTownHall is the hashtag.
	Is she preparing right now?
	The one in the white pantsuit?
	I don't know.
	You were battering me.
	I don't know.
	There's one more minute.
	Donald Trump's like, I'll come out when I'm ready.
	Yes.
	He'll take his time.
	There's a lot of Tony Clifton in Donald Trump.
	There really is.
	He's just sitting back there.
	I'm warping up my vocal chords.
	If he smoked, he would blow the cigarette in your face.
	Boring.
	You know, this makes him look brave though, right?
	Like, he's like, bringing it on.
	He doesn't care.
	You're a disgrace.
	Now I want him to come out as Tony Clifton.
	I know, right?
	That'd be great.
	I just brought Caitlin Collins.
	Think the white pants suit make you look more slim?
	Take the attention off your forearms, huh?
	He should come out in a Biden mask.
	Oh, there's Wolf.
	Lowest score ever on Celebrity Jeopardy!
	Blitzer?
	Huh?
	You know he'd say that, too.
	What, you got negative 1,400?
	Asshole!
	Oh, look, a blank screen on CNN.
	That's not our technical difficulty, just to be clear.
	No, not us.
	Oh, I think this means that they're bringing it in.
	Let's see.
	All right, let's look at their stinger.
	Wow.
	Does he have live intro music?
	No.
	Shit.
	Give me a little more judiciary acquisition we can hear.
	Welcome to New Hampshire, the first GOP primary state.
	We're live here at St. Anselm College for CNN's Town Hall with former president Donald Trump.
	I'm Kaitlin Collins.
	He's here from the back room.
	This president is here to begin.
	Unlike any other in the history of US presidential elections.
	He's the first president in more than a century to seek a return to the White House.
	And he is currently leading the Republican field while also facing multiple criminal investigations and an indictment.
	Just yesterday he was found liable for sexual abuse and defamation.
	No questions are off the table, and we agree to no conditions.
	We're here to get voters the answers that they deserve.
	Our audience is made up of Republicans and undeclared voters who plan to take part in the campaign.
	He's asking a question.
	It's a New Hampshire guy.
	I know.
	Please voters and the issues that they care about there's a black guy. Here we go for President Trump. We'll get a
	second chance. He's asking Please welcome the Republican nomination for President
	Donald Trump Look look at that
	He looks like he just woke up from a nap.
	Do you notice he's looking at the audience and not her?
	That's the dynamic that he deliberately sets up.
	He answers to them, not to Harry Ford and Caitlyn Collins.
	Caitlyn Collins?
	Caitlyn Collins.
	Caitlyn Collins.
	Yes.
	We've got quite a crowd.
	Thank you.
	President Trump, thank you for your time here tonight.
	We have a great crowd here in New Hampshire, a lot of voters with a lot of questions about what your 2024 term would look like.
	More of the same.
	I killed it before.
	Drink.
	You said that you were dominating the Republican race right now, but you were also under active
	federal investigation for trying to overturn the 2020 election results.
	Drink.
	Yeah, again.
	Drink.
	Again, drink.
	Let me hammer.
	Why should Americans put you back in the White House?
	We got 12 million more votes than we had in, as you know, in 2016.
	I actually say we did far better in that election.
	Got the most that anybody's ever gotten as a sitting president of the United States.
	I think that when you look at that result and when you look at what happened during that election, Unless you're a very stupid person, you see what happens.
	A lot of the people... Is that counted as an insult?
	That's insulting the host.
	No wait, that's insulting the host.
	That's drink the whole thing.
	Most people understand what happened.
	I can't do that yet.
	Five minutes in!
	It's a shame that we had to go through it.
	It's very bad for our country.
	All over the world they looked at it.
	And they saw exactly what everyone else saw.
	You look, even if you just look recently, with the 51 intelligence agents, that made a 16-point difference.
	If you look at the FBI... But, Mr. President... If you look at the FBI... Don't interrupt.
	He paused for a second, then decided, no, I'm not gonna.
	Mr. President, back to what you just said there, though.
	It was not a rigged election.
	It was not a stolen election.
	You and your supporters lost more than 60 court cases on the election.
	It's been nearly two and a half years.
	Can you publicly acknowledge that you did lose the 2020 election?
	He's not going to do that.
	If you look at Truth or Vote, they found millions of votes on camera,
	on government cameras, where they were stuffing ballot boxes.
	So, with all of that, I think it's a shame that what happened.
	I think it's a very sad thing for our country.
	I think it's a very sad thing, frankly, for the world.
	Because if you look at what's gone to our country, our country has gone to hell.
	Our borders are bad.
	Our military has been bad.
	You look at the taxes.
	You look at inflation.
	What's happened to inflation?
	It's just destroying our country.
	It's really inflated.
	We've really become, in many ways, a third world country.
	And it's very sad what's happening in this administration.
	This is a strong start for him.
	Yeah.
	He's not done.
	No, he's not.
	He's coming out and he's setting the pace right now where he's listing his accomplishments.
	That contrast is really valuable.
	And that way, he can't allow her to just tilt it.
	Right away she tried to go, oh, election.
	No, he's not. He's coming out, he's setting the pace right now where he's listing his accomplishments,
	that contrast is really valuable, and that way he can't allow her to just tilt it right away to try
	to go, oh, election, and he didn't, okay. But what you just said there, Republican
	officials debunked those claims about fraudulent ballots.
	We want to give you a chance tonight.
	Who? Republican officials in Georgia and every single state.
	There is no, your own election officials, Mr. President. So we wanted to
	give you a chance.
	We're afraid to take on the issue, but we have a big problem in this country. We have elections.
	We have elections that were horrible. If Ron DeSantis doesn't take on election integrity.
	He has not a chance.
	Calling it right now.
	This is what people want.
	people may try and gaslight you.
	♪♪ ♪♪
	...that you're making tonight from voters on this topic.
	I want to bring in Scott Dustin from Concord.
	He works in insurance litigation.
	He's an undeclared voter.
	Oh, gross!
	Someone get him some iodine.
	Scott, what's your question for the president?
	Hi, President Trump. Welcome back to New Hampshire.
	Thank you.
	Will you suspend polarizing talk of election fraud during your run for president?
	No!
	Will I suspend...
	Come on.
	Will you suspend polarizing talk of election fraud during your run for president?
	I talk to Republicans, by the way, conservatives every day.
	Never once would I expect to hear them say, will you suspend polarizing election talk?
	Right, exactly.
	By the way, it's also January 6th, so drink.
	We have our first fact check, actually, if we can get a fact check really quickly here.
	So, 50 of those 60 cases were dismissed before being heard, not lost.
	That's what Caitlin said, you lost 60 cases.
	50, that was great, good job research team.
	50, thrown out, or not even Going to trial.
	Not even being heard.
	Just dismissed.
	They didn't even go through the trouble of changing a statute of limitations and changing the law so they could extend it.
	That takes planning.
	With sexual battery.
	By the way, I do believe he commits sexual battery, this guy, because he keeps going and going and going.
	Let's go to the next one.
	Oh, they're going to a break.
	Oh no, they're not.
	Never mind.
	Just a fake aerial shot for no reason.
	Hey, I guess he had a good answer.
	It's called a crane shot.
	Do you stand by those comments?
	No, no.
	You were able to do certain things.
	I'm not talking about terminating the Constitution.
	I'm talking about cherishing the Constitution.
	The Constitution says that we're supposed to have legal and well-maintained and well-looked-at elections, and we didn't have that.
	I cherish our Constitution, but we have to live up to the Constitution.
	We weren't living up to the Constitution.
	I was just saying, there's no evidence of that election fraud.
	You didn't once tweet... You're supposed to say that, but... That was a horrible election.
	That was a horrible election.
	And unless somebody is very stupid, and I know you very well, you're not stupid at all, but you perhaps are given an agenda or you have an agenda.
	Look, we have to have honest elections in our country.
	We have open borders, we have...
	APPLAUSE You look at what's happening, I mean we have...
	That white guy in the vest looked pissed.
	Look at what's happening on the border.
	Tegetor!
	Take it to him!
	They're being released from prisons, they're being released from mental institutions and we have millions of people pouring into our country and now they're getting rid of title 42 which I put on which kept people out that were sick and And Mr. President, we have a lot of questions about immigration to get to tonight.
	Obviously, that's a big topic, especially given what's expected to happen tomorrow.
	But I want to talk about the influence you have over your voters.
	It's very clear that you are very influential over them.
	You have a lot of impact.
	I've been to many of your rallies and seen it up close, which raised a lot of questions about the influence that we saw that you had on them on January 6th and your support of the attack on Capitol.
	I need more!
	Brian needs more red wine.
	It was the largest crowd I've ever spoken to that was prior to the walk down to the Capitol building.
	We can't all count it in one, right?
	No.
	Got to do it again?
	Send in our new intern because of Title 42.
	It was the largest crowd I've ever spoken to.
	That was prior to the walk down to the Capitol building.
	I don't think, and I've spoken to hundreds of thousands of people.
	I've never spoken to a crowd as large as this.
	And that was because they thought the election was rigged.
	And they were there proud.
	They were there with love in their heart.
	That was an unbelievable and it was a beautiful day.
	And what I was asked to do, I wasn't involved in it very much.
	I was asked to come in.
	Would I make a speech?
	I made a speech.
	I said, walk peacefully and patriotically.
	You know, many different things.
	In fact, I brought a list of things.
	I don't want to bore You never hear that.
	Yeah.
	Calling it now, the media's gonna say, call January 6th a beautiful day.
	Yeah.
	They're gonna start playing Bono.
	Crazy Nancy Pelosi!
	Drink!
	Yeah.
	Really quickly, so in total, three quarters of voters said that they think some fraud occurred, right?
	This poll was conducted shortly after the election, and it's a YouGov.com poll.
	Ah!
	I'm just saying. Three quarters thought that there was...
	a crystal.
	...and soldiers. If they would have taken 500 soldiers, you'd have had a lot of money.
	...and soldiers. If they would have taken 500 soldiers, you wouldn't have had the problem.
	They would have taken 500 soldiers, you wouldn't have had the problem.
	They turned it down.
	And if you look at the Inspector General report, he says they turned it down.
	They made a terrible mistake.
	Well, Chris Miller was your acting defense secretary.
	He says you never gave that order.
	But back to what happened on that day.
	This is conducting an unbiased town hall.
	She's literally refuting him.
	And by the way, wrongly.
	Wrongly.
	She's refuting what is a matter of record with hearsay.
	Well, he said this.
	You want to bring up bitch Cassidy?
	What was her name?
	Cassidy Hutchinson?
	Yes.
	Oh yeah, yeah.
	He said he jerked the wheel.
	I said, really?
	Were you there?
	Well, I wasn't in the car.
	I wasn't in the next zip code, but you know.
	Look what he's reaching in his pocket.
	Alright, he has a list of things he said.
	Here we go, here we go.
	Hey look, Weasley.
	He's got props.
	Uh oh, what's he doing here?
	On January 5th, the day before, I said, please support our Capitol Police and law enforcement.
	They are truly on the side of our country.
	Stay peaceful.
	Stay peaceful.
	This was the day before, and this was in the form of Twitter.
	Now use Truth.
	Truth Social.
	I think it's far superior.
	I hope everybody's on Truth.
	I hope everybody's on Truth.
	If you look, January 6th, at 2.30.
	I am asking for everyone at the U.S.
	Capitol to remain peaceful.
	This is right after, as it was happening.
	But what happened is they took it down.
	I don't know why.
	I think they took it down because it was so good they didn't like it being up there.
	And we didn't know until I got it back, because now I have 90 million people waiting for me to go back.
	But I'm on truth and I'm staying on truth.
	Bring it in, guys.
	We need some wine and we need a beer for Steve.
	Let's go!
	He's so white.
	I think I was.
	Alright everybody, drink.
	I'm gonna refill.
	I'm gonna refill.
	I need my refill.
	Bring it in, bring it in guys.
	We need some wine and we need a beer for Steve.
	I guess no one's paying attention.
	Let's go.
	I'd like my wine please.
	I'm good.
	Mr. President, I looked at the same timeline that you did.
	Once it was clear... No, no, but you didn't report that.
	You know why?
	Because it was taken down.
	We did report it.
	I was reporting that taken down.
	It was taken down.
	But when it was clear to you that they were not being peaceful, you saw them rushing the Capitol, breaking windows, they were hitting officers with flag poles, tasing them, beating them up.
	When it was clear they weren't being peaceful, Why did you wait three hours to tell them to leave the Capitol?
	You already told them to be peaceful before that.
	That's why.
	They do.
	I agree with that.
	But Nancy Pelosi and the mayor are in charge.
	I assume they were able to do their job.
	They weren't.
	Think of the standard.
	He preemptively said be peaceful.
	Then he's out there giving it.
	He asked for them to increase the Capitol Police.
	He made the request.
	Then he's out there and they're saying, why didn't you do it right then?
	We didn't know it was going on on the ground, by the way.
	I didn't know that Feds were going to show up and raid their own Capitol.
	Why didn't you go down there in person?
	Oh, what was the big clap?
	Let me see what he said.
	I'm sorry.
	It was a beautiful video and it said, I mean, I don't want to read it all, but you have to go home now.
	We have to have peace.
	We have to have law and order.
	We have to respect our great people of law and order.
	We love the people of law and order.
	We can't play into the hands of other people.
	We have to have peace.
	Please go home.
	I said that.
	You know what they did?
	They took that down.
	And you know, to this day, it hasn't been put up.
	And the reason is it's so good and so conclusive that all of this nonsense and all of the tens of millions of dollars that have been spent are just wiped away with this one. So fact check for her.
	So DC Mayor Muriel, what is it, Bowser or something like that, Bowser requested unarmed guardsmen
	and said they should not help with the protests and evidence does point to Nancy Pelosi denying
	those requests. Of course. From Donald Trump saying, hey, would you like guardsmen? Nope. Why
	would you do that unless you were ready for something to go on? She's on record as saying no.
	Yeah. Fact check.
	Also, there were many feds there, so you know.
	Yeah, yeah.
	You know that.
	You can call it a conspiracy.

	Let's continue watching this man spank her.
	It's like an athletic center closet.
	What?
	You just give.
	Talking about Ashley Babbitt now.
	Good for him.
	She's stumbling.
	She doesn't know where to go with this.
	Oh, he was bragging.
	There was no good for him and he went on television to stumbling.
	She doesn't know where to go with this.
	The officer was not bragging about the fact that he killed her.
	But one person who was at the Capitol that day, as you know, was your vice president,
	Mike Pence, who says that you.
	The vice president does not have the authority to reject those.
	Are you ready?
	Let's have this one not just now because it's interesting.
	Let's keep it interesting, right?
	I like Mike Pence very much.
	He's a very fine man.
	He's a very nice man.
	He made a mistake.
	His lawyer said, you cannot move.
	I called him the human conveyor belt.
	I said, even if the votes you mean, I talked to his lawyer, even if the votes are absolutely fraudulent, he can't say, yes, sir, he can say that.
	And the Democrats played it and the rhinos played it.
	And then the election was over.
	They told him he couldn't do it.
	And Mike said to me, I can't do it.
	The lawyers told me you can't do it.
	They can't do it.
	But the lawyers were wrong, because right after the election, they all met the rhinos and the Democrats, and they worked out a plan to make sure that future vice presidents don't do What I said you could do.
	That's not what happened.
	You're referring to the Electoral Count Act.
	I've read that.
	There is no authority.
	Legal experts, including Republicans, say that he does not have that authority, Mr. President.
	But I want to move on.
	Why did they change the law, then, saying that you can't do it?
	They didn't change the law.
	They strengthened the law because they were worried about the president's exploiting.
	You could do it.
	That's not what it means.
	They strengthened the law because they had the right to do it.
	I've missed this guy.
	I think Caitlyn thought that this was going to be her coming out party and instead she's
	getting run over by a tank.
	Gerald, your prediction would have been right if she wasn't so caustic.
	That's true.
	She does come across as unlikable right now.
	Just in general.
	She owns no upper lip.
	There's a purity to her outfit.
	Yes, that's true.
	It's called a lie.
	It's as white as the driven snow, Stephen.
	But a black heart.
	I should note that your campaign paid for a recount that happened in Wisconsin.
	It actually had more votes for President Biden by the end of it.
	What's up about recounting?
	That wasn't the problem!
	Uh oh, here we go, here we go.
	Here's a question.
	The dead boss from Scrooge, you're next!
	Go easy on the Bacardi, he always says.
	There's a golf ball at his head, he's great, I love him.
	I do want to get to the audience, though.
	We have questions for you from the audience.
	Wayne Byer is a retired attorney from North Conway.
	Can I get some ibuprofen, please?
	I'm laughing too much.
	I bet you're gonna be like, I have a question!
	What's your question for the President, Wayne?
	Thank you for coming, Mr. President.
	Thank you, Wayne.
	My question to you is, will you pardon the January 6th rioters who were convicted of federal offenses?
	I am inclined to pardon many of them.
	I can say for every single one because a couple of them, probably they got out of control.
	But, you know, when you look at Antifa, what they've done to Portland, and if you look at Antifa, look at what they've done to Minneapolis and so many other, so many other places.
	Look at what they did to Seattle.
	He's doing really well tonight.
	He answered the question, by the way.
	He answered the question clearly.
	He said, for a lot of them, maybe not all of them, and then took the fight to where he's strongest.
	That's the equivalent to a takedown.
	He's like, you know what?
	I don't want to just stick on my feet here because I'm going to try and do the stand back and stand by with the Proud Boys, so I'm going to answer it clearly and then move on to something that I know will resonate.
	Look, you guys comment.
	Send me your comments, Crowder Town Hall.
	I think he's doing a really, really good job.
	My answer is, I am most likely, if I get in, I will most likely, I would say it will be a large portion of them, you know?
	They did a very... And it'll be very early on.
	And they're living in hell right now.
	They're living in hell.
	And they're policemen, and they're firemen, and they're soldiers, and they're carpenters, and electricians, and they're great people.
	Many of them are just great people.
	Mr. President, one of the people who was convicted was a former policeman, but he was convicted of attacking a police officer, I should note.
	But when you said you are considering pardoning a large portion Oh boy.
	Told you.
	Seditious conspiracy.
	That's 100% true.
	Does that include the four Proud Boys members who were charged and convicted of seditious conspiracy?
	I don't know, I'd have to look at their case, but I will say in Washington, D.C. you cannot get a fair trial.
	You cannot. Just like in New York City, you can't get a fair trial.
	Hey, he took it there before she even brought it up.
	Oh, that's a power move.
	That's a power move.
	He just slapped his wiener on the table and said, take a look!
	By the way, so did the court.
	You sexually abused the writer E. Jean Carroll and defamed her.
	You've denied this.
	But what do you say to voters?
	By the way, so did the court.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	My poll numbers just came out.
	They went up.
	I'm the only person in history who had a charge like that.
	And usually you leave office.
	You say, I'm sorry, but I'm going to back home.
	I'm back home to my family and everything.
	I'm going to be resigned.
	My poll numbers went up and they went up with the other fake charge too, because what's
	happening is they're doing this for.
	Election interference.
	This woman, I don't know her.
	I never met her.
	I have no idea who she is.
	I had a picture taken years ago with her and her husband, nice guy, John Johnson.
	By the way, she was funded by a Democrat mega-donor, just to be clear.
	Reid Hoffman.
	The co-founder, yep, LinkedIn, Reid Hoffman.
	Anti-Trumper.
	Yep.
	Huge backer of Hillary Clinton, just to be clear.
	And by the way, there was a deposition where she said that no one was actually paying her legal fees, so that's a lie.
	That's perjury.
	That would be important, you would think.
	And there was a bunch of foul play there.
	I think the most important of which is the fact that they changed the statute of limitations, that he committed no sexual assault.
	It's battery, which means any kind of touching that's unwanted, let's hear Caitlin Collins try and bullshit away.
	No, I don't think so, because I think the whole thing, just so you understand, ready?
	I never met this woman.
	I never saw this woman.
	This woman said I met her at the front door of Bergdorf Goodman, which I rarely go into other than for a couple of charities.
	I met her in the front door.
	She was about 60 years older.
	This is like 22, 23 years ago.
	I met her in the front door of Bergdorf Goodman.
	I was immediately attracted to her and she was immediately attracted to me.
	And we had this great chemistry.
	We're walking into a crowded department store.
	We had this great chemistry.
	And a few minutes later, we end up in a room, a dressing room of Bergdorf Goodman, right near the cash register.
	And then she found out there are locks on the door.
	So she said, I found one that was open.
	She found one.
	She learned this at trial.
	She found one that was open.
	Kind of a woman.
	Meet somebody.
	And brings him up and within minutes you're playing hanky-panky in a dressing room, okay?
	I don't know if she was married then or not.
	John Johnson, I feel sorry for you, John Johnson.
	He's gotta be careful, he's gotta be careful here.
	Just so you understand, if I was walking in, because I was very famous then, and I owned the Plaza Hotel right next door and I owned buildings around it.
	I'm not going into a dressing room of a crowded department store.
	Then I say, if she was being raped, and by the way, they said she wasn't raped, okay?
	That was her charge.
	They found that you sexually abused her.
	Say what?
	They said he didn't rape her.
	And I didn't do anything else either.
	You know what?
	Because I have no idea who the hell she is.
	But, Mr. President, can I ask you, given you're recounting your version...
	And I tell you this.
	Are you ready?
	And I swear on my children, which I never do, I have no idea who this woman is.
	This is a fake story.
	Made up story.
	We had a horrible Clinton appointed judge.
	He was horrible.
	He allowed her to put everything in.
	He allowed us to put nothing in.
	Judge Kaplan was appointed by Clinton in 1994.
	By the way, this has happened across the board with people they don't like.
	They did the same thing to George W. Bush.
	that you had testified. No, it wouldn't have made a difference. This was a rigged deal.
	This was a... my lawyer said... Did you see the deposition?
	I killed it. And by the way, I know, here's what the media wants you to believe. Oh, rigged,
	oh, rigged trial. Oh, I guess everyone's ringing it against you. Maybe you're the
	problem. That's the... by the way, this has happened across the board with people
	they don't like. They did the same thing to George W. Bush. No one can defend themselves.
	We've... yeah. I've lived it.
	What happens is they pile on, and they try and make it seem as though everyone can't be wrong, but it's all coming from the same place.
	Exactly.
	That's what's going on right here, and that's why he's not apologizing.
	Good for him.
	No one can defend themselves against this kind of thing.
	No.
	If someone gets a story and you get nothing, and somebody says after 23 years or whatever it is, there's nothing you can do.
	Right.
	No.
	Fix is in, man.
	The fix is in.
	By the way, really quickly, another fact check.
	Alright, the Electoral Count Act of 2022 changed the Electoral Count Act of 1887.
	It was kind of time to kind of, you know, brush that one up.
	Makes it harder for Congress to challenge the state slate of electors and the VP role now is purely ceremonial.
	So yes, it's a new thing.
	It's a new thing.
	It wasn't purely ceremonial before.
	Now there's power.
	To be fair, there was some argument about it, but there was argument about it enough that they said, we need to make sure there's no leeway here.
	So, you can't say that he was factually incorrect when what he said was factually correct.
	All references are available at LathropSkyler.com.
	There certainly is a gray area, but they eliminated the gray area because they knew it.
	Let's go back.
	A million years.
	Approximately a million years.
	is perhaps a little bit longer than that.
	So you stand by those comments?
	I don't want to lie.
	His million-year comment from the deposition.
	His paleontologist would disagree.
	A rich and famous person has no advantage over anyone else.
	Well, you do have an advantage.
	And I say unfortunately, but that's the way it is.
	You said fortunately or unfortunately.
	Well, fortunately or unfortunately for her.
	We have a lot of audience questions to get to tonight.
	I want to go back to the audience.
	So let's just recap this.
	Oh, hold on a second.
	Let's go.
	She's a Republican activist from Derry.
	She was a New Hampshire delegate for you.
	Love milk!
	What's your question?
	Big fan.
	Hi, thank you so much for coming to New Hampshire to answer our questions.
	My question is regarding the economy.
	Over the past two years, we have seen the prices for everything skyrocket.
	From food to gas to utilities and insurance costs, many people's bills are up several hundred dollars a month, including mine.
	If elected president again, what is the first thing you would do to help bring down the cost to make things more affordable?
	Drill, baby, drill.
	Consummate politician!
	Clear answer.
	Wow.
	No, I would say that's not a political answer.
	That's practical.
	They advise you to not say those things.
	That's a practical answer.
	Just answer with a non-answer.
	That's a truthful, practical answer.
	Well down to $1.87.
	Actually, it fell lower than that in some cases.
	So we're going to talk about gas prices.
	So really quickly, guys, we actually spent a lot of money, spared no expense.
	So really quickly, let's check in with our very first Biden cam and see what former Vice President Joe Biden is up to, because you know this answer.
	If you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't black.
	Alright, and we're back.
	I don't know why we spent that much money.
	Could have predicted how it goes.
	Let's see what Donald Trump... Is he still talking about oil?
	I got you the biggest tax cuts in the history of our country.
	Bigger than the Reagan cuts.
	By the way, if you're watching right now, wherever you are, hit the rumble button, you can hit share, you can hit like, whatever it is, wherever you are right now, hit that.
	You're good to go.
	And China paid a big price. And let me tell you something.
	I took in hundreds of billions of dollars in taxes from China. But prior to covid coming in
	and then I rebuilt the economy again a second time. But we had prior to covid coming in as as
	from China, from Wuhan, which I said it came from Wuhan. Everybody said, oh, you're wrong about
	that. You're wrong. It came from Wuhan. I said it right from day one. So wrong. We had the
	greatest economy in the world.
	Here's the story. They made energy so high and energy is all invasive. It is massive as an
	industry and as a cost. It lifted everything. If you don't, if you made donuts, if you make no
	matter what you did, she might as well not be there. We had inflation, the likes of which I
	guess this is off.
	AOC, we actually have a quote from her, a tweet.
	CNN should be ashamed of themselves.
	They have lost total control of this town hall to be again manipulated into platforming election disinformation defenses of January 6th and a public attack on a sexual abuse victim this audience is cheering him on and laughing at the host.
	Oh yeah, but when she tries to tweet she sees two screens.
	Well that's fair.
	This is why Trump will win.
	There could be millions of jobs lost.
	People right now are struggling, Collins.
	People right now, they're so disconnected from reality.
	People right now can't afford eggs, they can't afford beef.
	People right now, they have their jobs available, but they're shitty jobs because half of the economy, you don't need to fact check that it's not actually half, but the point is, the economy As we knew it was fundamentally changed.
	Restaurants, entertainment venues, these people have lived it.
	And CNN, this is why you just hit an all-time month low in the single 100,000 range.
	I think it was 132,000 was your peak primetime viewership last month because you don't acknowledge what people are living.
	Because they don't know what people are living.
	I think some of them don't.
	I think some of them know.
	And they're trying to re-engineer it anyway.
	They're trying to lie anyway.
	I think some of them are right.
	Maybe hear a forearm girl because she's not dyed in the wool.
	But she's just giving marching orders.
	Come on.
	She's a patsy in a white pantsuit for the higher-ups.
	Yep.
	Good pantsuit though.
	Nancy Pelosi and they were using will violate it will do whatever they talked
	a whole lot different than they do right now I say to the Republicans out there
	congressman senators if they don't give you massive cuts you're gonna have to do
	a default I don't believe they're going to do it before because I think the
	Democrats will absolutely cave Because you don't want to have that happen.
	But it's better than what we're doing right now.
	Because we're spending money like drunken sailors.
	So just to be clear, Mr. President, you think the U.S.
	should default if the White House does not agree to the spending cuts Republicans are demanding?
	We might as well do it now because you'll do it later.
	He's right.
	He's absolutely right.
	You have to make the cut.
	By the way, just to be clear, this is something that CNN was having, they were hosting this today with Biden.
	He just went out and lied.
	Biden just, I believe, yesterday, and then they kept running it today on a loop, he said that he's cut the deficit by $1.7 trillion, and what he tried to do is sort of, he tried to parlay that into the debt.
	Look, the debt is the cumulative, which is over $30 trillion right now.
	The deficit means your profits and losses, basically, on an annual basis, right?
	So it's the year, the spending differential.
	$3 trillion the national debt has increased since Biden took office, just to be clear.
	30 trillion?
	Comparing his 2022 deficit to Donald Trump's 2020 deficit, it was $1.3 trillion for Biden.
	Donald Trump was $3.3 trillion.
	Both presidents, by the way, spent more than they brought in.
	That's a problem that he should address.
	But again, a big part of it was $900 billion was a COVID bill when Donald Trump... They're always going to try and point to his last year, right, to his last portion of his presidency, because that was something that they could engineer under the basis of a pandemic.
	Joe Biden is spending more money, just to be clear.
	Joe Biden's plan increases spending, will increase the debt.
	They don't want to address that, so they say, well, if they're... Joe Biden hasn't answered on cuts.
	He answers to increase taxes.
	Watch him answer the question.
	Always.
	He never actually answers as to what he would cut.
	We don't have a tax problem.
	Even if you think we do, we certainly have a spending problem.
	Right.
	A trillion dollars is $1,000 billion.
	Yeah, and if you add the reparations they want in California, it would be $430-something trillion dollars.
	Just for California?
	Just for California!
	They'd be paid for by blacks from Uganda.
	Racism is expensive!
	Hey, it's Alex Keaton, Lookalike Foundation.
	Hi, thank you for coming.
	This is a bit of a pivot.
	With gun violence and mass shootings in the news cycle recently, I'm worried that state governments and the federal government are going to act to repress gun rights.
	Under your administration, you instructed the Department of Justice and the ATF to ban bump stocks.
	If elected President again, how would you act not only to defend our Second Amendment rights, but to restore rights that have been taken from us?
	That's a good question, and a question that a lot of Second Amendment activists would want to ask Donald Trump.
	He screwed up on that one.
	Let's see his answer.
	Stabilizing braces.
	As you know, the bump socks are actually a very unimportant thing.
	And NRA, I went with them and they said, It doesn't mean anything.
	Actually, all they do is teach you how to shoot very inaccurately.
	So we did that.
	That's what I say.
	It's not a good answer, though.
	No bump stocks in my team.
	It's not a good answer, though, Donald Trump.
	You need a better answer on that.
	But we have a very big mental health problem in this country.
	The broad in the pantsuit knows.
	Zoloft, visit Paxil.
	And we have to protect our Second Amendment rights.
	We have to protect it.
	He leaked his mushrooms.
	Mr. President, you've dealt with a lot of mass shootings when you were in office.
	This year, there have already been more than 200 mass shootings in 2023.
	If you are re-elected, are there any new gun restrictions that you would sign into law?
	Zero.
	I would do numerous things.
	For instance, schools.
	We would harden, very much harden.
	And I also am a very believer.
	I believe in teachers.
	I love teachers.
	I think they're incredible.
	And they love the children.
	Not quite like the parents, but they love the children, in many cases, almost as much.
	Many of these teachers are soldiers, ex-soldiers, ex-policemen.
	They're people that really understand weapons.
	And you don't need 5% of the teachers would be more than you could ever have.
	Have you ever hired security guards?
	But in addition to that have security guards, you have to harden your entrances, you have to make schools safe, and you can make other places safe, but it is a big mental health problem in this country more than anything else.
	And remember, we have 700 million guns.
	700 million.
	By the way, this is kind of remedial for you, I think we're breaking, we have some new Tucker Carlson bombshell.
	Oh yeah, yeah, those did just come in.
	That's right. Yeah, absolutely. That's right.
	Let me see here. What is a Do we know what the Tucker... Do you have it, Hootie?
	The latest Tucker bombshell.
	I do.
	This is breaking right now on Twitter.
	Subject, Tucker Carlson's disregard for workplace sanitization.
	A janitor said Mr. Tucker was tossing a ball of paper into the trash and he missed, and I could tell that he didn't intend to pick it up.
	That's what's on Twitter right now?
	Is there anything else that we have?
	Is there anything else that we have on?
	All right, well, more on that.
	Hashtag Crowder Town Hall.
	$10 off on Mug Club.
	Let's go back to Donald Trump.
	Use your wrist when you throw.
	All of those places are the worst and most dangerous places.
	So that's not the answer.
	No new restrictions that you would sign if re-elected, Mr. President.
	I want you to meet Julie Miles, a registered nurse from Merrimack.
	She's a Republican who voted for you in 2012.
	Let me try and rebut you before I go to the question from the person who asked that.
	I appreciate you answering this question this evening.
	How do you plan to appeal to women voters in New Hampshire who are concerned about the Dobbs decision and how states may change their laws?
	It's such a great question and it was such a great victory and people are starting to understand it now.
	You know that they wanted to bring it back to the states but that was probably the least important part of that victory.
	Getting rid of Roe v. Wade was an incredible thing for pro-life because it gave pro-life
	something to negotiate with.
	Pro-life had absolutely nothing being stuck in Roe v. Wade to negotiate with.
	And now what's happening, and I see it all over, deals are being made, deals are going to be made.
	And look, everybody that was president wanted to get rid and tried to get rid of Roe v. Wade.
	You mean Republicans?
	For 50 years, Republicans.
	For 50 years, this has been going on.
	Actually, a couple of Democrats, too.
	But for 50 years... Also, by the way, Caitlin, it doesn't affect you if you're not a whore.
	If you're not a whore, this doesn't concern you.
	You're concerned.
	She can look at her face, she's concerned.
	A whore!
	A filthy whore!
	Alright.
	Even the exceptions, the life of the mother, rape, incest, like Ronald Reagan believed in the exceptions.
	But I happen to believe that.
	I think it I think it's frankly important to do that.
	But a lot of people are, you know, against that a relatively small, relatively small number.
	But the way the way I look, I think it's very important to say this.
	I consider the other side to be radical because the other side under Roe v. Wade and other things, the other side, they're radical because they will Remember the debate with Hillary Clinton?
	They said, rip the baby out of the womb at the end of the ninth month.
	They will kill the baby in the ninth month.
	If you look at that crazy governor of Virginia from the former governor, where he said, no, the baby will be born and then we'll decide, essentially, whether or not to execute the baby.
	But Mr. President, can we talk about what you would do if you were re-elected?
	But if you are re-elected and you're back in the Oval Office and you get legislation to your desk, would you sign a federal abortion ban into law?
	What I'll do is negotiate so that people are happy.
	But the fact that we were able, I was able, I'm so proud of it.
	We put three great justices on the Supreme Court.
	We have almost 300 federal judges.
	Here's the lesson to anyone else who's going to throw their hat in the ring.
	Caitlin Collins doesn't matter.
	You're not talking to her.
	I've said this many times.
	We've done Change My Minds.
	We've done countless Change My Minds.
	Billions of plays.
	And then we've also done debates on the show.
	It becomes harder and harder to do as people don't necessarily want to have these conversations across the aisle.
	Unless, of course, you're talking about every single Twitter egg.
	But here's the thing.
	You need to recognize the difference between Minds You Can Change and people who are so bought into the lie, they have to propagate it.
	That's CNN.
	That's Caitlin Collins.
	And Donald Trump, for the first time, at least in recent memory, he's identifying the difference.
	He's identifying maybe people who have questions that aren't coming straight from the right in a town hall.
	He's identifying, okay, this is someone who maybe is open to what I have to say.
	This is someone who has ears to hear.
	She doesn't matter.
	Don't cater to the media.
	Bypass them.
	You don't have to cater to them anymore.
	This is a masterclass in bypassing gatekeepers.
	To piggyback on that, would you say he's the first candidate in the history of this country that will actually benefit from how unfairly he's treated by the media?
	The harder they go, the more his ratings will jump because Americans, no matter where they are, like fair play.
	And when they see a violation of fair play, they kind of instead And you know what they really hate?
	They really hate being fooled.
	And I think with Donald Trump, they realize, you know what, we were fooled with a lot of this.
	Propaganda.
	Yeah, I think that's a good point.
	I think he has a valuable tool at his disposal.
	This is great for the country and what's fair for the country.
	But the fact that I was able to terminate Roe v. Wade after 50 years of trying.
	They worked for 50 years.
	I've never seen anything like it.
	They work.
	And I was even so honored to have done it.
	We are in a very good negotiating position right now only because of what I was able to do.
	And remember this again.
	You talk about radicalism.
	People that will kill a baby in the 9th month, or the 8th month, or the 7th month, or after the baby is born, they're the radicals, not the pro-electors.
	Did the same thing with Antifa?
	Did the same thing with abortion?
	Brilliant. Let me hear what she has to say.
	You cannot answer whether or not you've signed a federal abortion ban
	or how many weeks into pregnancy you believe abortion should be banned.
	Can you answer either of those tonight?
	I've given you the answer probably four times already.
	They've never, they've never forced a Democrat to answer for when there is a limit to terminating pregnancy.
	Because every, just to be clear, while we're talking about one thing that Donald Trump missed,
	while we're talking about the radicals, people say, oh, the extreme left, the extreme right,
	right, this is my left, your right, I have to do the stage terms.
	Here's the thing.
	Every single person who has run for the Democratic nomination in the last two elections And other Republican presidents, and others by the way, they wanted to get it out.
	They also wanted to bring it back to the states.
	But bringing it back to the states is a less important issue than the issue that we just talked about.
	That's what Frank Stallone said!
	Take it back to the states!
	Take it back!
	Do-do-do-do!
	By the trash can, he said.
	Is that what he was singing about?
	That's what he was singing about!
	I didn't know that!
	If that bell rings and I'm still standing, I always say... So pathetic.
	I always say have the baby anyway.
	Alright, really quickly, as they're about to go to a commercial break, we spared no expense and I believe that we sent somewhere here, I want to make sure that I have this right, that he's set up and he's ready to go.
	Thomas Finnegan is actually, yep, we have Thomas Finnegan.
	We sent him down to the town hall on the ground for the commercial break.
	Let's go down there and get a minute.
	Hi, Steven.
	It doesn't look like things have kicked off yet, but I'm glad to be here early to catch all of the action as it unfolds.
	Where are you?
	I'm at the Town Hall, of course.
	Yeah, but where are you?
	I'm at the Town Hall in the Hamptons.
	No, no, for the love of, for the love of God, Thomas, you're supposed to be at the town hall in New Hampshire.
	It's politics.
	We're doing politics.
	Donald Trump, presidential town hall in New Hampshire.
	Go there now!
	Go there!
	Go!
	Quick, we're gonna go to, hold on a second, you have a fact check I guess, but really
	quick, hold on, let me just say, Brian Cowan will be in New Brunswick, New Jersey, May
	11 through the 13th.
	If you are on Rumble right now, this is what keeps us going.
	Notice there aren't 20, 30, 40 live reads.
	If you're on Rumble, click that button right down there.
	We're going to continue doing a Mug Club exclusive, by the way, show, after this show on CNN.
	It's $89 if you enter in Crider Town Hall.
	$10 off on the discount code just for tonight.
	Oh, sorry.
	That's right.
	$10 off.
	So $79.
	Wonderful hand-etched mic.
	Can we get like an epic fact check?
	We got a couple here.
	So something that's a little bit more regular.
	Live fact check for the Crowder Town Hall.
	Give it to me.
	Now.
	Now, now, now.
	Give it to me.
	Yeah.
	Tweet check.
	Fact check.
	Trump.
	Trump.
	Fact check.
	Tweet.
	Fact check.
	News!
	There we go.
	Alright, so, nonpartisan committee for a responsible federal budget.
	The U.S.
	national debt will balloon by nearly $20 trillion over the next decade under the spending outlined by President Biden in his $6.9 trillion budget proposal.
	That's a lot of nuts!
	But it's somebody else's money!
	Well, if you put it over 10 years, it doesn't matter.
	Also, mass shootings were lower under Donald Trump by almost half.
	I don't know why she was asking him questions about Biden's policies that have led to more mass shootings because his mass shooting numbers were far lower.
	I can answer that because, excuse me, she's a lying whore.
	If I had to answer that, I would never say that by the way.
	I think she's very nice, but that's what people tell me.
	You don't know my body count.
	She lies and she's a whore.
	Liar, whore, liar, whore, and you know it!
	That's true.
	Thank you, I was buying time.
	Okay, go ahead, Joe.
	No, I think that summarizes some of the fact checks that we're working on right now.
	And by the way, I just want to add an answer to the abortion question.
	My policy on abortion is no.
	Would you sign a federal ban?
	No.
	I don't want to sign a federal ban.
	I want that to be a state power issue.
	I want that to be in the state's hands and I want the state's hand To be moved by the people to do the right thing.
	Right.
	That's what I want.
	I don't want federal overreach in stuff like this, even when I think it's something that benefits me.
	I want it to be in the hands of the state.
	I think Donald Trump should say that.
	He didn't.
	He said that was a less important issue.
	I disagree with that.
	I think states having the ability to decide this stuff is very important because that's exactly what the Supreme Court struck down.
	That's also what a republic is, right?
	Yes.
	I have to go use the uh the little boys room so let's really quickly let's check in really quickly uh and then I'll be back you guys can uh and then you can go after me.
	So again we spared no expense uh for the second time do we have the cameras live at the Biden former vice president Biden White House.
	Okay check it.
	And if you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't black.
	Uhhhhhh...
	HMMM?!
	My butt needs wiped!
	Put it on backwards this time.
	If you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't black.
	Alright, bringing him back.
	By the way, you can't see it, but she's taking a lot of body blows here.
	This has been a little bit rough for Caitlin Collins.
	Thank you very much for that.
	Alright, let's see what the questions are.
	Jennifer, what's your question tonight?
	Good evening, Mr. President.
	Thank you.
	Title 42 is expected to expire tomorrow.
	Yep.
	Our southern border and now our northern border are experiencing record migration.
	I wonder why.
	We learned on May 2nd that the Biden administration plans on deploying 1,500 troops to the southern border.
	Do you agree with deploying troops to the border, and how will a Trump administration slow down the rate of migrants coming across all our borders?
	I want to see what he says here, because there's a lot of BS.
	The troops are behind the scenes.
	They're not on the board for me.
	You're going to have tens of thousands of people pouring into our country, even the judge.
	You know, the judge overruled them when they wanted to terminate it early.
	And he said, you know that you better extend this thing.
	The judge in Texas said, I hope you're going to train this.
	But this is my policy that they're letting terminate because they lost in court.
	They wanted to go earlier.
	You're going to have millions of people pouring into our country right now at a level that nobody's ever seen before.
	These people are sick.
	Anybody that wants this to happen to our country, they're destroying our country.
	We know his answer here.
	This is bad, right?
	So Biden already, just to give you some facts, Biden already has two times as many border encounters as Trump did during his entire time in office.
	We should ask him to take the front door off his house.
	We should absolutely do that, right?
	So currently over 5 million encounters.
	Trump's grand total for border encounters was 2.4 million.
	Also, Greg Abbott, let's bring up this tweet from him.
	I saw this earlier today, so great work team.
	I had no idea.
	No idea.
	He was in a wheelchair.
	I just thought he was really short.
	Damn tree!
	So, Greg Abbott says, great work by Texas National Guard and Texas DPS.
	Biden sent 1,500 troops to the border to do paperwork.
	Texas deployed trained soldiers and troopers to take real action and respond to this crisis.
	So, don't be fooled by 1,500 people going to the border to do paperwork behind the scenes.
	They're doing it administratively.
	Do you want to hear him a little bit?
	Because this is a strong issue for Donald Trump.
	We have to build some more because there are areas like water going through a dam.
	There are some areas where a lot of people are coming.
	You close up one and they come into another.
	And we started another hundred miles of wall.
	In fact, I said to my people, if we start this and don't finish it, and then we had a rigged election, I'm sorry to say it.
	The election was not rigged, Mr. President.
	Greg, you got the horn there, Yakuza, or no?
	We got a horn?
	Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, right here, right here.
	Drink your whole drink, we gotta get a refill.
	Make mine yingling, because I can't handle these Belgians.
	They're high alcohol.
	Look, a country has to have borders.
	True.
	There's never been anything like this happening to our country.
	You built about 52 miles of new wall when you were in office, Mr. President.
	It wasn't the complete wall.
	One other thing that with immigration, with your immigration, it was only about 52 miles of new wall.
	This is what she does.
	Yeah!
	I built some pieces of wood myself.
	Some of the wall was up there and it would be laying in the ground, rusted rotten steel,
	rusted rotten wood.
	And what the radical left crazy Democrats did, if there's a piece of wood laying down,
	they considered that a wall.
	That's a wall.
	I built 30 foot walls that go down seven feet into the ground.
	If there was a little piece of wood sitting in the ground, they said, oh, he's not building
	We already had a wall.
	Because this is the game.
	They're a party of disinformation.
	It's not a game, Mr. President.
	It's about 52 miles of new wall.
	What other immigration policy did you have when you were in office?
	I built new wall.
	I built new wall.
	52 miles of furniture.
	For hundreds of miles.
	CBP, Mr. President.
	What I did is I replaced other wall that was laying down, that was up and rotting in the ground for 30 years.
	Some of it was steel that you couldn't even see.
	Mr. President, it was only about 52 miles of new wall.
	Moving on, another immigration policy you had was the zero tolerance immigration policy that separated families at the border.
	If you are re-elected, are you ruling out...
	Oh, that is insane.
	When you have that clear, and I don't thank you very much.
	And by the way, please send in your love for the team that's helped put this on here tonight.
	No, that's the Flores consent policy from 1997, which by the way, so that you could
	not detain children for more than 20 days.
	Okay.
	This is why Barack Obama actually ended up starting to separate children with their parents
	because he saw keeping children as a deterrent from people coming in over the border.
	The Flores consent policy 1997 signed under Bill Clinton was about children being detained
	at the border, just to be clear.
	And by the way, this is one thing that was a huge point of contention during the debate, was who built the cages, Joe?
	Let's see what he has to say.
	She's full of crap.
	The city is being swamped.
	Los Angeles is being swamped.
	I'm pretty sure I'm right about 99% of it.
	The whole country is being destroyed.
	Millions of people are coming into our country.
	And you know what the number is going to be, in my opinion, by the end of the year?
	Not the 4 million that you hear and the 3 million.
	I think it's going to be 15 million people.
	And in these people, they have no idea where they come from.
	They come from 129 different countries so far.
	120, not just the four that we talked about.
	Mr. President, just to put a button on that, it sounds like what you're saying is that you're not ruling out re-implementing that immigration policy.
	I want to get to another voter.
	Kaitlan Boissoneau is a student here.
	She always has to get the last word in.
	Nothing like perpetuating a negative stereotype, white lady.
	Hello President Trump, thank you so much for coming.
	The current administration has made it clear that we should continue to provide military equipment to Ukraine so that they can defend themselves.
	Do you support this decision and how would you deal with the increasing threat posed by Vladimir Putin?
	First of all, thank you very much.
	It's really nice.
	I would have never let it happen.
	It's an important question.
	So important.
	Because we're giving away so much equipment.
	We don't have ammunition for ourselves right now.
	We don't have ammunition for ourselves.
	We're giving away so much.
	But here's the thing.
	I have to say it to start off.
	No longer matters.
	If I were president, this would have never happened.
	And even the Democrats admit that.
	Putin knew it would have never happened, and his pipeline would have never happened.
	A lot of things would have never happened, but this was never happened.
	And all those dead people, Russians and Ukrainians, they wouldn't be dead today.
	And all those cities that are blown up and disintegrated right to the ground, that wouldn't have happened.
	You know what I love that Donald Trump does?
	What he does, because everyone knows here, everyone knows the Ukraine answer.
	So we have a little bit of a... I love that Donald Trump will answer with specificity tonight.
	Here's what he'll do.
	He'll answer with specificity.
	He'll disabuse people of a certain notion that the moderator, or the conductor, whatever you want to call her, tries to instill in the audience.
	and then he drives it home with something unrelated but also leaves a mark like
	there was tons of dead wood and everywhere this is what happened i
	replaced it they say 52 this is the game that they play they didn't want to fund
	it he'll go through it and then be like termites And then go back.
	Just so, and then people remember that.
	That's right.
	And he's very good at it.
	It's called anchoring.
	Yes, exactly.
	He's a technical terminator.
	I don't know any Democrats who have said that.
	May 11th through 13th, New Brunswick, New Jersey.
	Her question is, would you continue to give Ukraine money and weapons if you're elected?
	What's the answer?
	I have a very good relationship with President Zelensky because, as you know, he backed me up with the phony impeachment.
	Impeachment hoax number one.
	The perfect call.
	The president didn't do anything wrong.
	So I happened to like, so I happened to like, yeah, that's right.
	And it was I was totally exonerated, by the way, just a waste of time.
	He goes, don't side profile her.
	It's cruel.
	I'm helping you.
	It's not fair to her.
	Don't go to side profile, folks.
	That's mean.
	Mr. Drink on the impeachment comment.
	Oh, drink.
	I would sit down.
	Let me just put it this way.
	If I'm president, I will have that war settled in one day.
	24 hours.
	You hear what he just said?
	If I'm president, I'll have that war settled in one day.
	That's the answer.
	That's the answer.
	I'll solve the problem.
	I've talked about this.
	Ukraine is a perfect example.
	He had eight years of Obama, then he had three years of Donald Trump.
	One last year was engineered, of course.
	That's the number they try to point to as far as what they try to point to as his failure for presidency is the engineered pandemic of COVID.
	Um, and then you have another, after this you'll have four years of Biden.
	There's a very stark contrast.
	Let's talk about international policy, because the idea is this guy is just such a loose cannon that we're less safe.
	Hey, what happened under, uh, Barack Obama?
	Something, something, Crimea?
	Oh, yeah, that's something.
	Is it pronounced Crimea?
	Something, something, Georgia?
	And then what happened under, oh, nothing.
	And then we had Ukraine afterwards, because anyone who's been in a schoolyard knows that crazy beats big every time.
	You just have to be a little bit crazy.
	That's right.
	There's value in that.
	Even Kim Jong Un, Kim Jong was going like, I don't know, I don't know this guy, I don't know what he's gonna... You forgot Syria.
	That's right.
	Under Obama.
	Remember, the red line.
	This is the red line.
	And then they do it and they're like, well I mean the red line.
	And it's just like they can't... It was in sand.
	They can't stop.
	They can't stop.
	Getting it wrong.
	The things they try to attack him on, people like him, and then what they try and use as this sort of fail-safe, like, yeah, but international policy.
	You need someone with an even temperament.
	He's proven them wrong through eight, three years, and another four.
	Because the way they describe the world, the way they describe the world is not what we see in our everyday life.
	Right.
	It just doesn't, we're just like, I know, what are they talking about?
	They think that most Americans are going, come on, you better say yes, you're gonna give money to Ukraine!
	Yeah.
	I just sound like Jim Brewer for some reason.
	He made a tremendous mistake.
	He's a smart guy.
	I remember he said he was smart, she was smart.
	Do you still respect him today?
	He made a tremendous mistake.
	He's a smart guy.
	I remember I said he was smart, she was smart.
	They said he said President Xi of China, right?
	He's smart.
	Okay, 1.5 billion people.
	He's the ruler of 1.5 billion people.
	I said, yeah, he's a smart guy.
	How dare he say he's smart?
	Of course he's smart.
	They want you to say he's a stupid person.
	Okay, he's not a stupid person.
	He's very smart.
	He's very cunning.
	And Putin made a bad mistake, in my opinion.
	What was his mistake?
	Let me ask you something really quickly, okay?
	And I'd like to see, maybe we can put, I guess we can't put this to a poll, but you can tweet me and you can use the hashtag CrowderTownHall.
	Would you rather a world where Donald Trump Donald Trump starts with the presupposition that Putin and Xi Jinping are smart, or would you rather a world where former Vice President Joe Biden assumes they're dumb?
	In which world are you safer?
	Good question.
	Because if he's going to be a war criminal where people are going to go and grab him and execute him.
	You know who is smart?
	Hitler.
	Correct.
	Doesn't mean I like him.
	Right.
	I think Einstein was an asshole.
	Doesn't mean he's dumb.
	We're settled.
	And I'm not talking about the money either.
	I'm talking about all the lives that have been, the number of people being killed in that war is far greater than you're hearing.
	When they blow up a city and those buildings come pouring down and then they say two people were injured.
	No, no.
	Hundreds and thousands of people are being killed and we have to get that war settled.
	We have more with former President Trump right after this.
	this we're gonna take a quick break and then we'll be back with questions from...
	and we have a...
	Occasionally we have commercial breaks too.
	We have a commercial break if you want to go to it.
	No, but didn't we...
	We have that...
	We got a new...
	We got a new intern, right?
	With Title 42...
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	...ending.
	And I think we were a little preemptive.
	What you did, Gerald, as CEO, he's the new CEO, might have been...
	I just...
	It might have been illegal, is my point.
	It was my heart.
	But we did want to...
	We have the new intern here.
	Here, yes.
	Si, como estas?
	Uh huh.
	And we just wanted to, sometimes we like to profile people, tell them your story.
	So did you, you came through, was it the golden ticket sweepstakes?
	Yeah, was that it?
	Oh, oh, si, I get vaccination?
	Yeah, we don't, we don't know.
	Yo tengo the vaccine.
	Yeah, we don't care about the vaccine.
	I don't think anyone here is vaccinated.
	Wait, wait, wait.
	That's not a prerequisite.
	Nope.
	But do you... Is that your resume that you sent?
	That's, that's not a resume?
	That's a vaccination card?
	Si, si.
	That vaccination card?
	Oh lord.
	No, but what is your experience?
	How did you get the, the internship?
	Right?
	People want to know.
	Yeah.
	I crossed the border and they say okay.
	Yeah, that's not... No, that's not how it works.
	I'm sorry.
	I may have made a mistake.
	Yeah, is this... We don't care about COVID.
	Do you have... Can you do research?
	Can you do overlays?
	More love?
	Si?
	Yeah, come on, you know, we'll bring him back in.
	We'll bring him back in later.
	Yeah, we appreciate it.
	Golden ticket sweepstakes, really.
	That's not my finest moment.
	No, Gerald.
	I'll do better.
	You're a horrible CEO.
	Well, most of the time.
	Guys, I'm gay.
	All right.
	I think we do have a commercial break.
	Okay, we have a brief commercial break and we'll be back after that.
	These gentlemen have to go to the bathroom.
	I do!

	Pfft!
	Pfft!
	Cough!
	Pfft!
	Pfft!
	Cough!
	Get ready, for now that's what I call Trump!
	In this compilation, your favorite president makes these hits his own.
	Don't go chasing GDP.
	The median income is a better metric.
	And who can forget the Pete Butt gig song?
	Splish splash, they were taking a bath.
	And it was a couple of p****.
	Voted on by the attendees at the weekly White House Talent Show, this collection is sure to make you want to get up and dance.
	Nikki, don't lose my number.
	Might replace Pets with someone else.
	I might.
	Haven't decided.
	Support the police because they work really, really hard.
	News.
	It's all fake news.
	P-I-G-C.
	That's how you spell Hillary!
	B-I-G-C-E-E-N-N-E-N-E-N!
	SYNONYM for HILLARY!
	Welcome to the ****hole called California.
	There's a homeless face.
	Poop all over the place.
	Lots of poop!
	Now that's what I call Trump.
	Now that's what I call Trump.
	So, how can I help you?
	Doctor, my husband and I have tried everything to try and get pregnant.
	Do you have any suggestions?
	I do have something that's worked in the past.
	Okay.
	Oh.
	Oh.
	Okay.
	Oh!
	I think I feel something!
	Wow!
	Thank you, Doctor!
	You're very welcome.
	Every time.
	Paid for by the greatest president in the history of the world.
	Side effects frankly may include being fantastic.
	All right, let's quickly go to CNN.
	I think they're both standing up now, I think.
	So, let's see what they're saying.
	They are standing up.
	Let's change positions.
	Shut up.
	Oh my gosh.
	which is not well known to a lot of people.
	I've read it.
	It does not say that you can take documents with you.
	It says actually that they are the property, the federal government.
	It says you talk, you negotiate, you make a deal.
	It's not criminal, by the way.
	It does not say you can negotiate.
	The Presidential Records Act is not criminal.
	And just so you know.
	It does not say you can negotiate to get a lot of documents.
	Shut up.
	Can I tell you?
	Just so you understand, the Presidential Records Act I took the documents.
	I'm allowed to.
	You know who else took them?
	Obama took them.
	Nixon took them.
	Obama did not take documents.
	That's a Thug Life moment.
	Look at her face.
	Look at her face.
	Oh my gosh.
	I think it's important Mr. President to actually set the record straight here.
	Oh you do?
	They took documents including Vice President Pence.
	When they realized they had documents they turned them back over.
	The difference is that you waited to turn yours over and it was a year and a half that included a subpoena.
	Excuse me, drink.
	It included a raid on my house.
	That's what it included.
	They didn't raid Biden's house.
	They didn't raid Biden's house.
	You know what happened?
	They put him in the house.
	That's the one with the Corvette where the documents were laying all over the floor.
	By the way, fact check this.
	Donald Trump had them locked up in boxes labeled classified.
	Joe Biden had them next to his midlife crisis.
	That's not what the Presidential Records Act says.
	That's not what it says, Mr. President.
	Here's what you should do once though, Donald Trump.
	from when he was a senator and even Democrat senators say I can't believe it
	no I went by the Presidential Records Act that's not what it says here's what
	you should do once though Donald Trump you should say tell me what it says
	Go ahead.
	Take your time.
	Do that.
	You do that, it'll end her career.
	It's a special counsel investigating your document situation, also President Biden's
	document situation.
	When it comes to your documents, did you ever show those classified documents to anyone?
	I would have the right to.
	By the way, they were declassified after... What do you mean, not really?
	Not that I can think of.
	Let me just tell you, I have the absolute right to do whatever I want with them.
	I have the right.
	I was negotiating with NARA.
	Do you know what NARA is?
	The National Archives.
	Extremely, extremely left group of people.
	Extremely left.
	Oh, look at that.
	Look at that RBF.
	They didn't raid my house.
	They didn't raid the house of Joe Biden.
	They didn't raid Obama.
	Joe Biden did it in a subpoena to get those documents back like you did.
	Joe Biden took 1,850 boxes.
	But that's the question that investigators have, I think, is why you held on to those documents when you knew the federal government was seeking them and then giving you a subpoena to return them.
	Are you ready?
	Yeah, what's the answer?
	Can I do you mind?
	I would like for you to answer.
	It's very simple.
	That's why I asked it.
	It's very simple.
	You're a nasty person.
	Oh, drink it, David!
	Oh, my God.
	Step on the rules.
	Sir, sir, finish it.
	I was negotiating, and we were talking to NARA, that's Washington, to bring whatever they want.
	They can have whatever they want.
	When we left Washington, we had the boxes lined up on the sidewalk outside for everybody, people to take pictures of.
	Everybody knew we were taking those boxes.
	And the GSA, Government Service, the GSA was the one taking them.
	They brought them down to Mar-a-Lago.
	We were negotiating with NARA.
	All of a sudden, they raid our house.
	When Biden has his documents, he won't give back the 1850 boxes.
	And you're going to find some real gems in there.
	The National Archives reached out to you to get your documents back.
	Why did you not turn them over when you got a subpoena asking for you to turn them over?
	You're negotiating with them.
	She's hanging in there.
	She's hanging in there.
	No.
	Don't.
	Energy records, Jack.
	We were negotiating with NARA.
	Very nice people.
	But they gotta love our Constitution a little bit more.
	And they shouldn't red flag it, by the way.
	Very nice people.
	We were negotiating with NARA.
	And that's what the Presidential Records Act says.
	Richard Nixon, surprisingly, had problems.
	And he had a lot of problems dealing with NARA.
	And they ended up passing the...
	Drop the historian. It's a historical moment.
	...the Presidential Records Act just for this kind of a thing.
	We were dealing with them.
	My last question on this subject was...
	Excuse me. Excuse me.
	We would have done it, but all of a sudden, they raided the House.
	Now, why hasn't the FBI raided Biden?
	But I just explained to you why.
	It's because he alerted the government that they had those documents and had them come and get the documents from his house.
	My question for you, though, when it comes to documents, do you still have any classified documents in your possession?
	He's so mad.
	Are you ready?
	Do you?
	You ready?
	No, I don't have anything.
	I have no classified documents.
	And by the way, they become automatically declassified when I took them.
	But why?
	Let me ask you a question.
	Why is it that Biden has nine boxes in Chinatown?
	They're declassified if he chooses to say, hey, take a look at this.
	why aren't people- no you cannot say that there's no evidence of that mr
	president and why do they put this guy, jack smith and his group of
	thugs, why don't they put him in charge of that?
	i need to stop you right there because there's no evidence of what you just said there what you're
	referring to there is an office that he had after leaving the vice presidency he had a
	temporary office but i want to ask about another investigation that you're facing
	i guess you don't know the subject i drink and have a buzz off
	which is the one that's happening in georgia where they are investigating there your efforts to overturn the election
	results in the state of georgia
	i did nothing wrong it was the perfect phone call let me finish my question
	With the Secretary of State, Brad Raffensperger, given the fact that there are indictments expected to come in that case this summer, is that a call you would make again today?
	Yeah, I called questioning the election.
	I thought it was a rigged election.
	I thought I'd had a lot of problems.
	I had every, I guess he's Secretary of State, I called.
	Listen to this.
	There are like seven lawyers on the call, many of them from there.
	We're having a call.
	We're having a normal call.
	Nobody said, oh gee, he shouldn't have said that.
	If this call was bad, I question the election.
	You asked him to find you votes.
	No, that's not what he said.
	We just heard the audio tape.
	Yes, and that's not what he said.
	I said you owe me votes because the election was rigged.
	Exactly.
	Context.
	And if this call was bad, why didn't him and his lawyers hang up?
	The place where the pipe burst and they took out the, sorry, not suitcases, because we'll be fact-checked, the cases that look remarkably like carry-on suitcases with ballots.
	Yes.
	During the period of time where they said a pipe burst and there was no one in the building.
	Did they not count those?
	Allegedly!
	They did, they did.
	In the middle of the night.
	He said, come on, you know there was fraud.
	Yes.
	That's the context.
	I was questioning the election.
	They're like, cut the feed!
	Cut the feed!
	Voted twice.
	Thank you very much.
	The bully from every 80s movie.
	I want to get back to the audience, Mr. President, because those are false claims you're making
	about what happened in Georgia.
	Jordan Tulliburger is here.
	He's an undeclared voter from Hollis.
	He voted for you in 2020.
	Jordan, what is your question for President Trump tonight?
	Voted twice.
	Thank you very much.
	I'm a bully from every 80s movie.
	I help manage a private aviation company.
	We crashed.
	You want a job?
	I'm looking for somebody very good.
	I'm not into government interference in private business, but I've seen Republicans going after us, like DeSantis, after Disney.
	What would you do as president to protect us from government interference?
	To protect Disney?
	Well, I'm the one that really wants to protect you.
	All of these fake investigations of me are about election interference.
	They think because I'm leading Biden by 11 points, 7 points, 9 points, I'm leading DeSanctimonious by a lot.
	By 40 points, or 45 points, I think you ought to just relax and take it easy and think about the future, because right now his future's not looking so good.
	I will tell you this, we are really putting it to Biden, but he's putting it to himself.
	I'm glad he focuses back on Biden.
	Yes.
	He is the definition of a pressure fighter, though.
	Yeah.
	Donald Trump.
	Oh yeah.
	And by the way, the way he got out of Afghanistan was the single most embarrassing moment in the history of our country.
	That is correct.
	That is correct.
	And the media never talks about it.
	Oh, let's see, did she defend this?
	Hey, did you ask Hillary Clinton that?
	here in New Hampshire, this is a fundamental question for you.
	You are running in the 2024 race.
	If you are the Republican nominee and you are in that 2024 race,
	will you commit tonight to accepting the results of the 2024 election?
	Yeah, if I think it's an honest election, absolutely I will.
	Will you commit to accepting the results of the election?
	He won't give you an inch.
	The woman answered again.
	If I think it's an honest election, I would be honored to.
	Did you ask Hillary Clinton that? Did you ask Biden that?
	Or did you start a committee along with Elizabeth Warren on election interference and election fraud?
	but back then he said it was russia Remember that?
	Every single Democrat refused to accept the results of the 2016 election.
	They didn't ask those questions.
	accepting the results for Georgia's LBL Cup.
	If it's an honest election, correct, I will.
	Okay, so not committing to accepting the 2024 election results.
	We're acknowledging what happened in 2020.
	Come on!
	We're acknowledging what happened in 2020.
	This is an important conversation with voters to hear and to have.
	Thank you to our audience and to our host.
	I feel like we're bias watchers here.
	Of course we're bias watchers, but I want to see what CNN's commentary is on that because they're gonna have to run interference for her.
	That was a bloodbath.
	Yeah, it was a bloodbath.
	She had no handle on it.
	Oh, there we go.
	Yeah, look, he even pursed his lips.
	He's like, yeah, thank you.
	It was like Bill Burr mocking someone.
	Yeah, yeah, you did great.
	You only just ruined your career, right?
	You'll be back.
	You think you're gonna be saved by your white pantsuit, God?
	He looks so tired and yet he's just as combative as ever.
	Like, not an inch does he give.
	And Anderson is cross-eyed right now.
	First of the 2024 presidential campaign is now in the books.
	He's going to be a dentist.
	Hello from Washington.
	It was an interesting night.
	Mr. Trump's first lie was told Oh boy, here we go.
	tonight with his false claim that the 2020 election was quote a rigged election.
	And by the way, it's only a lie because CNN says so.
	Right.
	The threat to Vice President Pence about Pence's ability to overturn the election,
	about COVID, about the economy and more. He called a black law enforcement officer a thug.
	He said people here in Washington, D.C.
	at Chinatown don't speak English.
	You're trying to make it a racial thing?
	It's unbelievable.
	He was the only person who killed someone on January 6th.
	Unbelievable.
	Other than the five people that you guys said.
	Wow, he had to throw in that.
	He had to throw in black.
	He called a black man a thug who shot someone from how many yards away was it?
	Was it 30?
	It's unbelievable.
	Was it 30 yards away?
	It's unbelievable.
	The black person?
	No, no, no.
	The black officer.
	Five feet.
	But I mean, but I mean, that's so unnecessary.
	That's exactly why CNN loses ratings.
	I'm sorry.
	Ashley Babbitt is crawling through a window.
	He could have gone, boop.
	That's right.
	I was going by what their initial claim was.
	That's right.
	Down the hall.
	He was right next to it.
	Yeah, that's right.
	Come on.
	That's right.
	Jake referenced Manhattan federal jury found him liable of sexually abusing and defaming.
	Fuck you!
	Fuck you!
	No one found him guilty of sexually abusing anyone!
	That right there, just so, I don't know, this right there, is a lie!
	That's a lie!
	He wasn't found- He just said he was just found guilty of sexually abusing- that's a lie!
	He didn't sexually abuse anyone, the jury says- Right.
	It was sexual battery.
	This- okay, just to be clear, I will.
	It wasn't a Donald Trump quote, it was a Stalin quote initially.
	Anderson Cooper, this press, is the enemy of the people.
	They flat out lie in order to try and re-engineer society.
	When Anderson Cooper, sorry, pardon my language, if you have kids watching, they shouldn't be up this late anyway, fuck that guy.
	He was found guilty of sexually abusing, nope, that is a lie, and you either have to believe that Anderson Cooper Is so dumb, he doesn't know that it's a lie, or he is deliberately trying to run interference because his little friend, who he probably has cocktail hour with, or wind down Wednesday parties with, just got her hat handed to her.
	That is a lie.
	It's not even close to the truth.
	It's not even close to the truth.
	So sexual abuse is not the same as sexual battery, then?
	It's just battery and defamation.
	Right.
	Yes.
	I thought it was more the defamation thing, but really quickly, we did run the commercial for PrepWithCrowder.
	I just wanted to make sure that we got that part.
	Can you grab that for me, Brian?
	What's that?
	What do you need?
	Grab that big case right there.
	Yes, big case.
	Really quickly.
	Bring the big thing over to him.
	There's a great deal.
	If you go to PrepWithCrowder... Oh, we have a different discount code going on right now.
	PrepWithCrowder.com, you get $200 of free emergency food kit.
	It's survival gear.
	Yes, free survival gear with a three-month supply of food kit.
	Can I open it?
	No, don't.
	We got, I think, four of those.
	That's just, no, that's a placeholder.
	How long will this last me?
	That's where our intern stores his tobacco pouches.
	I didn't know that.
	Yeah, that has fermented for months.
	But it is PrEP.
	PrEPwithPredator.com.
	Get $200 free of survival gear.
	They have the balls to sponsor this show.
	It's the only sponsor that we've run on this show, I think for weeks by the way right now.
	So do it's you can go and buy these things like at Costco, but the truth is you get a
	better product, better price, their stuff works, and you don't need to worry about some
	zombie apocalypse.
	I lived through the ice storm in Montreal.
	I mean, I remember it was in the dozens, if not hundreds, eventually people died.
	You have the earthquakes that happened in California, any natural disaster, you should
	have enough water for a couple of weeks, you should have some way to heat some food and
	have a couple months or three months of emergency food.
	Everyone should have it.
	You don't have to be some kind of a prepper.
	Let's see what three, three months in this in this three months, three months and $200
	worth of survival gear.
	Wow.
	Feels nutritious.
	A person who from the time I'll take some more seven, I'm blown.
	Can I take this off my you can take it off?
	I mean unless you need it there Uh oh.
	How dare he?
	intentionally to his supporters and plans to do that and I don't really see
	anything that's changed about Trump, frankly. I mean between when he left the White
	House and today. So his aides can say what they want, but Trump is not.
	Some things did change. The economy tanked and Americans know it. So your guy, and yes I
	mean your guy, is losing. Your guy is losing. You just said, think about that for a second.
	You know, George St.
	Pierre used to do this, where people would give him crap, where every opponent he would face, he was a fighter, and some people would talk trash, right?
	And George St.
	Pierre came at it with the idea of, you know, if I just say my opponent sucks, then that means I suck.
	So, no matter who he would say, he's my most dangerous opponent, he's the best guy I fight, he's dangerous, and I have to plan for him.
	What they're saying right now is, Donald Trump is so terrible, how bad must your guy suck if he's losing to him?
	That's amazing.
	Yeah, exactly.
	You're saying that this guy is a liar, he's gonna spew all this kind of hateful rhetoric.
	Well, Trump is the only guy who gets Biden elected.
	If that happens.
	No.
	Donald Trump is beating him by bigger numbers than percentages.
	Do you think he beats him if there's an election today?
	I do.
	Yes.
	100%.
	I mean, assuming that it's a fair and honest election, which, you know, is anyone's guess.
	Donald Trump said, basically saying, like, you're telling me... By the way, they're going to January 6th.
	By the way, I told you they would say this.
	Many of them are great people.
	I said that they would say it was a beautiful day.
	Watch them bring that up.
	Drink.
	And it's really what voters who are not in that room think about it.
	Look, he is who he is, and he is who he was.
	They would vote for him!
	Hold on, let me say this, let me repeat.
	He is who he is, better than you.
	Yeah.
	4148!
	If held today, they would vote for him!
	Stunning things to see, though, in the sad laughter when he was mocking E.G.
	and Carol, really just offending the audience, is the hold he has on the Republican Party.
	And so welcome to the Trump Paradox.
	CNN?
	Reached out to Republican undeclared voters in New Hampshire.
	That is an honest reflection of Republican beliefs in New Hampshire.
	Which is how out of touch you are with America.
	What did I tell you?
	Unbelievable.
	Remember what I told you at the beginning of the show?
	Maybe we can bring it back up for Mug Club.
	I said they are going to fundamentally start With the presupposition, which is a lie.
	They are not going to acknowledge that all of the recent polls have not only Trump beating Biden, but beating him by a greater margin than Ron DeSantis.
	Wherever you line up, that's just a fact.
	And they right now are calling it the Trump Paradox.
	This is what they want.
	They want you to try and have a civil war within the Republican Party where you go, oh, maybe I want Trump, but DeSantis is more electable.
	Here's the beauty right now.
	You can vote for, and I don't care who it is, vote in the primary for who you want to be president.
	Because right now, either one wins.
	Donald Trump by a slightly wider margin than Ron DeSantis.
	I told you they wouldn't acknowledge it because they want to try and act, why?
	Like the MAGA Republicans.
	They want to try and paint the Donald Trump voters as so extreme that they should be separated off, right?
	Sort of pulling like a patriot with Mel Gibson.
	Pick off the commanders first.
	Pick off this very strong faction.
	The faction, by the way, that would vote for him over DeSantis by double digits.
	They want to paint them as MAGA extremists, so it's the Trump Paradox.
	The Trump Paradox is he's beating your guy, period, full stop, and by a little bit more than DeSantis.
	There's no paradox!
	But their idea is to get Republicans who are moderate to say, you know what, maybe it's not worth more of this.
	This is so fatiguing that we should just vote for Biden so we don't have to deal with what's crazy.
	And that is to say that people aren't going to be outraged and angry at how unfairly he's treated and how much they're being lied.
	So think about it this way.
	Think about it this way.
	They already had their chance to go.
	I don't really want to vote for Donald Trump.
	Let's vote for Biden.
	He's the safe alternative.
	Look at the wreckage that is following his presidency.
	So you believe in borders?
	More economic turmoil.
	More strife and war in the country.
	Where's Code Pink?
	All of these things, right?
	All of these things are happening.
	So you no longer have that.
	And I think I was wrong when I said that earlier on.
	Where I said, not tonight, but earlier on in this, I was like, I don't know if Trump has a... Jury found him liable for sexual abuse.
	And they're replaying.
	I wouldn't replay most of that CNN.
	I think they might have found him liable for that.
	I think that might be true.
	They found him liable for battery and defamation.
	Which is also sexual abuse.
	Well, no, battery doesn't have to be.
	It's civilly, by the way, and battery doesn't have to be.
	You've already battered me, I can feel it.
	The problem is they just say sexual abuse as a general term.
	Look, battery, there's also a difference between... How did I lose my...
	Are you shitting me?
	It's like between the car seats.
	Your phone?
	It's gone?
	My research document fell between the seats.
	Don't lose your... There's a huge difference between sexual abuse, and this is what they're trying to do.
	They're trying to make you go, rape, sexual abuse, and not actually look at the case.
	Battery.
	I have the definition here.
	This is battery.
	Feels so good.
	I mean, so bad.
	By the way, it's hashtag CrowderTownHall.
	You get $10 off if you join the night.
	Let's see what they're replaying.
	I'm curious to see what CNN thinks is a win for them tonight.
	The truth.
	That's very true.
	us to put nothing in. Mr. President, you're recounting your version of events here right now to the audience.
	The truth. You referenced the trial. You did not go to the trial and actually
	testified. Do you wish that you had testified? No, it wouldn't have made a difference.
	This is a rigged deal. That's very true. This was a... my lawyer said, sir, you don't have to do it.
	I actually said, I think I should, it would be respectful.
	They said, sir, don't do it.
	This is a fake story and you don't want to give it credibility.
	One thing you did do in this... And I swear, and I've never done that.
	Okay, we're going to bring up that clip again for those who missed it.
	Uh, Carol, I keep getting the, uh, E. Jean Carol, just to be clear.
	E. Jean Carol, the jury said, did not prove rape.
	As a matter of fact, she didn't really prove anything other than sort of defamation, just to be clear.
	And they were pretty liberal with the term battery, again, they changed the statute of limitations.
	But, uh, oh, no, hold on, we have a little, let's, we have a little one, two lanyards.
	We're talking politics.
	We need you to stay out.
	We don't want anyone to be watching on camera.
	Yeah, I'm not gonna cut to it.
	No, he's adorable.
	He's young.
	You don't want people seeing him.
	Absolutely not.
	Toolman's son is about as cute as they get.
	He just wanted to come in and see Danny.
	I know we're going long.
	Sorry, Joe.
	Sorry.
	Looks a lot like me, which is weird.
	But anyway, keep going.
	So she, the jury said... It's fine, it's fine.
	Keep going.
	I'm sorry.
	The jury said, well, you do moonlight as a milkman.
	I do moonlight as a milkman.
	Organic milk.
	Yes.
	I milk it myself.
	It's a milk share.
	Grass fed.
	It's a milk share.
	It's a way to skirt the loss.
	That's why my hands are so rough and big.
	The jury said she couldn't prove rape.
	She didn't prove rape.
	And again, we're going to roll the clip sexy.
	Yes.
	She's a lunatic.
	They won't show you this.
	I think most people think of rape as a violent assault.
	I think most people think of rape as being sexy.
	I'm sorry, what?
	Let's take a short break.
	Think of the fantasies.
	So's your hair!
	We've got to take a quick break.
	If you can stick around, we'll talk more on the other side.
	I like that part!
	She looks like she's been sleeping on that side and she just woke up.
	She looks like Bridget Nielsen on a meth bender.
	Yes, go ahead.
	So they found him.
	So sexual, let's see what it is right here.
	So yes, Mr. Trump sexually abused Ms.
	Carroll.
	Let me read for you what that could be.
	Here's a quick quote from the judge.
	Anything from a gentle but unwanted peck on the cheek To stabbing somebody with a knife could be battery for purposes of a civil case like this one.
	Unbelievable!
	So in other words, it could be me greeting my aunt at Thanksgiving, kissing her on the cheek, or the guy in Warriors saying, maybe we should run a train on you.
	That's incredible.
	They're both the same.
	That's the point, right?
	That's a very broad term.
	And by the way, it's not the same term state to state.
	They're the same if you- The damages, what they're trying to do, the damages are for defamation.
	Which, by the way, is what happened with, what's the name of the professional slut?
	Stormy Daniels.
	That's what happened.
	They tried to say that he defamed her but he couldn't have defamed her.
	That's why she owed his attorney's fees because she said it never happened.
	So for him to call her a liar can't be defamation because she admitted to lying.
	A peck on the cheek is sexual battery if you wear your genitals on your cheek.
	That is true.
	Right?
	Yes.
	So that's old genital cheek Larry.
	That's right.
	Or you have herpes on your cheek.
	I can't remember what it is.
	Demonstrate maybe?
	Just demonstrate and I'm just kidding.
	Yeah.
	You really must be sick.
	He already touched me with his big fingers.
	I can still feel them on my shoulder.
	Let's go to Librarian Stand-In, whoever that is on CNN.
	The rule of law, the justice system.
	You called the Capitol Hill police officer a thug.
	We've already talked about it.
	He was.
	He killed somebody who wasn't a threat.
	What do you call that?
	I expect that bitch's stockings to roll up under a house.
	My phone blew up.
	People were outraged by it and I would end with this.
	Yes.
	No, you were.
	You were the one who thinks they could be a Republican running against him.
	You just saw tonight what you're up against on a debate stage.
	No, Dana, because you had nothing.
	Wow.
	So let's go to Anderson in New York.
	We even talked about what the former president said about Ukraine and Russia in detail.
	Anderson?
	And what Christie said was Donald Trump says he would turn the war on Ukraine in 24 hours.
	He said despite how ridiculous this is, I suspect he would do it by turning over Ukraine
	to Putin and Russia.
	Putin's puppet.
	So let's go to Anderson in New York.
	Anderson?
	Jane, you ignorant slut.
	We'll call you haters.
	I'm Senator Bill Conrad.
	I'm haters from across the partisan spectrum.
	Van Jillens, Kristen Soltis, Anderson, David Axelrod, Alyssa Farrah Griffin, David Urban
	also joining us as Florida Republican congressman.
	I saw this man from the shield.
	That's right. You thought so.
	Everybody's trying to look super smart.
	In one way, my thoughts were summarized by the previous panel.
	But I will say, anyone who has been paying attention and expected Donald Trump to be anything other than what he was tonight, really has misread the situation.
	That is who he is.
	Awesome.
	That is who he is.
	This is childish and ad hominem.
	But it looks like his spread collar is rejecting his neck.
	Holding on for dear life, that button.
	I really don't like Axelrod.
	He's got a weak chin, I'll give him that.
	He's got a weak chin, I'll give you that.
	At least he's letting his... Michael Chiklis.
	Yes, that's it, Michael Chiklis.
	He's got a weak chin, I'll give him that. He's got a weak chin, I'll give you that.
	And that sort of, which authentically is who Donald Trump is, but it does underscore one thing, and I don't use this
	term lightly.
	At least he's letting his...
	Don't bring up the side of the guy from the shield and that guy.
	That's amazing. He is letting his... Michael Chiklis.
	Yes, that's it. Michael Chiklis.
	He's letting his brows grow out, and I appreciate that.
	Yes.
	But if you're a politician and you're just willing to blow through facts and blow through challenges...
	As in Cooper said, did someone say blow through facts?
	...your version of the truth, you know, there's some advantage to that and he's proved it.
	This is the Donald Trump that we have always known.
	He is who he is.
	And if you are a voter who is looking at next November and thinking, you're dreading... She's the Republican strategist and pollster, right?
	She is the balance to this panel.
	Right before we go to socialist Van Jones.
	And then I want to go to our panel here for some thoughts.
	And by the way, I know that we are biased.
	The difference is, we let you know and we make all references publicly available at ladderworthcreditor.com.
	Every single thing we've told you tonight is accurate.
	Specifically around January.
	And I encourage you to fact check us.
	He wants to make the case, look, you think I'm the chaos guy, but actually under Biden, that's chaos, right?
	He talks about the border, crime, gas prices.
	Economy.
	And then he undercuts his own message that he's actually not the chaos guy by saying he would pardon the folks on January 6th.
	You can see what message he's trying to drive.
	He said some people.
	He said, I don't know about all of them because some of them got out of hand.
	And then he talked about Antifa, who you, by the way, you you won't utter their name.
	It's like Voldemort.
	You won't say black.
	You won't talk about Black Lives Matter anymore.
	You won't talk about Antifa.
	Fake classes, he doesn't need them.
	Keep going.
	Donald Trump is unfit, unwell, unimproved, and still good enough to mess you up in a general according to every single recent poll, you dumb, bald-headed prick.
	What does that say about you?
	Unimproved.
	He still beats a guy by 7 points!
	You're being racist.
	But not every single one of them was found guilty, dummy!
	in US courts of seditious conspiracy a criminal thug group called the Proud Boys
	that's an easy no I'm not gonna pardon traitors he wouldn't even give you a
	every single one of them was found guilty dummy just like I wouldn't say
	that every single member of Antifa is a basement dwelling prick
	It's mostly accurate, but it would be a lie for me to say that that's all of them.
	I'm sure you showed up to a couple of meetings.
	I honestly found it jarring to watch.
	Jarring?
	Jarring's a great word.
	He basically alluded to restarting the inhumane family separation policy at the southern border.
	By the way, her qualification was being on MTV's Teen Moms.
	And then he made light of sexual assault and even more horrifyingly some of the audience members laughed.
	You're a stupid dumbass.
	He didn't make light of sexual assault.
	He made light of fake news lying about sexual assault.
	Important policy issues did come up.
	She's jarred.
	Any Republican running for office or considering running for president wants to secure the border.
	They want to bring down inflation.
	They want to deal with the economy.
	They want strong American leadership abroad.
	They will do that without the chaos, the insanity, and throwing our allies under the bus the way Donald Trump was.
	I'm down here at the lone end of the table.
	Come on, bring up the side-by-side of him.
	Oh, there you go.
	What explains the fact to America, maybe Jamie Gangel.
	Do we have a picture of Michael Chiklis?
	Yes, we do have a picture of Michael Chiklis coming up right now.
	You know, half the United States still likes this guy, right?
	You heard John King say, he may be the next President of the United States, right?
	He may be the next President of the United States.
	So, I know there's this, you know, he's a terrible human being.
	It's the same guy!
	It's the same guy!
	Now, when you get to a close-up, look.
	Okay, now, once you go to a close-up, bring him up again, Michael Chiklis.
	Tell me this isn't him.
	It's him!
	That's actually him playing the Trump advisor.
	What's he doing on CNN?
	It's method acting.
	Trump advisor.
	What's he doing on CNN?
	He's...
	It's method acting.
	Trump advisor.
	The movie's called Trump Advisor.
	Next is going to be...
	What's the name of the guy from NYPD Blue who was also in He's Hispanic.
	Dennis Freenhouse.
	No, not Dennis Freenhouse.
	I'm going to stab this pencil in your eye.
	No, it's a guy, he's like Bobby something, his name is super white, but he's like tall, Hispanic, NYPD Blue.
	Gemma.
	Oh.
	Hey Gemma.
	Oh, um, um, um.
	I can't.
	Oh man.
	Jimmy Smits.
	The president in West Wing, Jimmy Smits.
	Jimmy Smits.
	Jimmy Smits.
	You nailed it.
	I stole it.
	That's what they're going to bring up next.
	Alright.
	There he is, there he is.
	Can I just say something really quickly?
	The jarred lady that was speaking just a moment ago, she said, oh, you're going to start that inhumane process of taking kids away from parents.
	OK, let me just say two things.
	One, if you don't want your kids taken from you, do not try to cross the border illegally.
	Second point is do you know why they do that?
	Because a lot of people come across the border with child sex slaves and say they're my children to be able to get special treatment and preferential treatment and they separate you from the parents to make sure that they're not gang raped and also to make sure that the story checks out so maybe if you did a little research you would understand they're actually trying to help Sex.
	Slave.
	Children.
	Escape.
	Who else in this room is a... What are you, a liberal over there?
	Who else in this room is officially jarred?
	I consider myself jarred.
	Cheers to that.
	That was out of line to a jarring degree.
	I can't believe that a professional woman on news set up her response on a panel with, I was very jarred.
	You shouldn't play with the big boys then, sweetheart.
	She said, I found it jarring.
	I found it jarring.
	I find it disorientating, like she just came back from that time warp in Event Horizon.
	Whoa, why don't you cry about it?
	Can we run the fact check too on the wall?
	We actually have exclusive video of Donald Trump and some of the work that he actually did on building the wall.
	Oh, do we?
	Yeah, we do.
	Let's go to it now.
	Wait, which one?
	I'm going for it.
	The one we showed earlier on the show?
	The same one?
	No, no, no, no.
	At least they've got Republicans.
	Oh, oh, that's right.
	Oh, hold on a second.
	Yeah, hold on a second.
	Joe Louis is here.
	We have a break-in.
	Joe Louis.
	Oh We don't have it
	Never mind.
	Wait, wait, wait, wait.
	They can't hear you.
	They can't hear you.
	I'm going to eat him.
	Never mind.
	I was wrong.
	I was wrong.
	Gerald was calling for something I don't have.
	I thought he had it.
	He doesn't have it.
	It's one of my favorite things that we've ever done.
	If we could get that, that would be phenomenal.
	It's the dueling of the beard edger.
	This is a disaster, because initially with Ukraine, Joe Biden wanted to give Vladimir Zelensky... By the way, of course I'm not going to eat a dog, just to be clear.
	And it wasn't until people in Moscow, in Ukraine, here in the United States, said this invasion is wrong, that Joe Biden reversed course.
	Do you want a victory in Ukraine?
	Do you want a victory in Ukraine?
	I'm just trying to respond to everything that's been coming up on the table.
	Last thing, let me say this.
	We spent 22-23 minutes talking about January 6th.
	We could have been talking about a whole lot of other issues instead of doing that for the first half hour or so.
	But let me be very clear.
	What was said in this town hall about National Guard troops that were authorized by Caitlin was wrong.
	I'm on the Oversight Committee.
	I was in two hearings on January 6th.
	Can we give CNN props for at least having Republicans on there?
	Yeah, let's see what he said.
	First, National Guard troops on January 4.
	He followed up in a call with then acting Deaf Secretary of Defense on January 5, trying
	to see where the deployment was on those troops.
	That is testimony in the Oversight Committee.
	Everybody testified in Oversight Committee when Nancy Pelosi was Speaker of the House,
	except one organization, and that was the Capitol Police.
	Did you read the Secretary of Defense's book?
	Because Nancy Pelosi would not allow that.
	I'm tell—well, I'm telling you what was testified to— Notice he's the only one who brought in actual facts—
	Correct.
	And look what he brought up.
	Did you read the book?
	When you can say anything that's not under oath, he's like, I'm telling you what the committee had- What is- Hold on, hold on.
	He testified to under oath in the oversight committee.
	Congressman, can I just ask- There are the facts, go ahead.
	Do you acknowledge Donald Trump lost the 2020 election, correct?
	Again, we're going to continue to talk about 2020- Irrelevant.
	Snuffle up against Trump's snout, that bitch!
	Let me tell you why most voters are frankly kind of tired of y'all bringing this up.
	Inflation.
	more.
	And I'm going to be talking about the 2012 election.
	You guys want me to make a statement?
	What did you say that's factual, Anderson?
	Anyway, who cares?
	This is the beauty of it.
	Why get mad?
	They have 130,000 viewers.
	Totally.
	We had more than them tonight.
	Yes, at any given moment.
	And the live ticker's broken.
	I understand why some people believe it.
	Moving forward into 2024, a couple things are very, very clear.
	The nation is a mess.
	Clear, just like your skin, Anderson.
	Our border is overrun.
	Inflation is crippling every family.
	Republican, Democrat, Independent.
	Those are the facts of the matter.
	Do you think they're all piling on him?
	They're all piling on him.
	But at least CNN has three Republicans on a panel.
	And I understand that you don't feel that.
	No, they have one and two patsies.
	And questions about the last election and the insurrection should be part of the discussion now, but since the president was there... By the way, also notice they put up their lower thirds and not his.
	Yep.
	That's right.
	Liar!
	Get to the point, David.
	and he repeated it again tonight since he was the one who rallied the crowd that stormed
	the Capitol that he celebrated tonight.
	I want to ask you this one thing because I was interested when he was talking about his
	case that was decided yesterday by a jury and he said well that was rigged.
	It was a Clinton appointed judge.
	A lot of Trump appointees...
	By the way, I'll come back to this.
	...obligations of election rigging.
	Should they be trusted because they're Trump-appointed judges or are they rigged too?
	Listen, every candidate that runs for office, everyone, I've run for office, you're allowed to contest the election.
	Where's his lower third?
	We all have that ability.
	They brought up Axel Rodwell.
	This guy was still talking.
	Where's his lower third?
	Do we need a timer?
	Where's his fucking lower third?
	Where's his lower third?
	Still going.
	Where's his lower third?
	Another headline.
	Where's his lower third?
	What I mean by that, people, is his name and his title.
	These people have made up titles.
	They are professional talking heads.
	This is a man who actually serves as a representative.
	Of a voting constituency.
	Of the people.
	And Van Jones.
	Van Jones, lower third.
	Let's hear Van Jones.
	In real time, in front of millions of people.
	It is very, very difficult.
	They brought it up twice!
	They changed it to give him a second title!
	It's incredibly difficult to talk to somebody who is going to say things, sometimes they're true, sometimes they're not true.
	I don't think anybody here thinks that Donald Trump is a paragon of truth-telling.
	I thought Caitlyn did a masterful job.
	She's a matador against a bull.
	Let me do this.
	Since CNN didn't have the balls to do it, we will.
	That's U.S.
	Congressman Byron Donalds proudly representing the Southwest Florida District 19.
	You guys wouldn't put it up.
	We will.
	Good, and Anderson didn't even have to blow a guy to get his chyron.
	Oh, shut up!
	I'm jarred!
	Sexism!
	Here's the thing.
	You know what, Gerald?
	You would have been right if this was 2016.
	People are tired of this shit.
	People are tired of women always claiming the moral high ground by simply saying, I'm jarred.
	I'm jarred.
	I can't... Sexual abuse because he pecked me on the cheek.
	I've been...
	You're jarred and right now it's sexist that he just refuted her with facts.
	Have you read the book?
	It doesn't matter.
	No one cares that you feel jarred.
	You're wrong.
	You're wrong.
	They still haven't put his name up, by the way.
	Chilling, jarred, unnerving, and disturbing.
	They all drive you nuts.
	I actually would say, this is what we wanted.
	I swear to God, if they bring up David Axelrod's lower third, I'm going to lose my mind.
	I'm going to lose my mind.
	His base of power as a lawyer, I'd be deeply concerned.
	No one deserves a lower third less than David Axelrod.
	Is there anything that would exclude him?
	Even if he is someone who Republican voters want back in office because of the things
	he did in terms of policy, like could he go out and kill somebody?
	Is there anything that you would consider beyond the pale?
	Well, this is what people want, so those picadillos we're going to let alone.
	At the end of the day, this is always going to be at the hands of the voters.
	The voters are going to decide who they want to support.
	Polling would dictate that they want to support Donald Trump by a wide margin in the Republican Party.
	I will also say, the ABC polling is pretty clear that Americans writ large want to support him over Joe Biden.
	This is the best guy I've ever seen on CNN.
	As far as a Republican in the territory, he's the best.
	They'll never have him back.
	Or if they have him back, they're going to stack the deck like this.
	Hey, let's have a white... This is what Bill Burr was talking about on SNL.
	Let's have a white woman tell a black man that he doesn't understand what being oppressed is like.
	Was it jarring?
	Was it jarring?
	I hope it wasn't jarring!
	Or perhaps rattling?
	Maybe it was unsettling!
	and it will be very interesting to see do voters who may have forgotten what it felt
	like for Donald Trump to be in the spotlight, do they come away from this feeling...
	Was it jarring?
	Was it jarring?
	I hope it wasn't jarring, or perhaps rattling?
	Maybe it was unsettling!
	Dear God, I hope it wasn't unsettling!
	All those words are used by people who have never been punched in the face.
	Yes.
	So that's what I was just going to say.
	Look, you know, actually, you said if you left tonight, you'd say he did a great job, you know, because he spoke to his face.
	I didn't say he did a great job, I said he spoke to his face.
	He spoke to his face, yeah.
	It's the same guy.
	You were great in The Shield.
	You were great in The Shield.
	Also as good as The Thing and The Fantastic Four.
	Disappointing film, but he gave a great performance.
	He did.
	He did alright.
	Lifted it up a little.
	Right?
	He's going to need to speak to those.
	So let me just kind of clarify something for you, and then we're going to go to Mug Club and take your chats.
	What they just did, and I've talked about this quite a few times, because I got called in, by the way, to the second floor at Fox News, and second floor is where the executives work.
	What David Axelrod just did, it's the opposite of stand-up, right?
	You know the old quote in comedy is, I didn't learn comedy when I learned how to write.
	I learned comedy when I learned how to edit.
	Remember Phyllis Diller said that?
	I think Jay Leno repeated it.
	I don't know the original source.
	But brevity is a soul of wit.
	In cable news, it's the opposite.
	What David Axelrod has been doing, what Van Jones has been doing, what Mrs. Tweety Bird, I've been jarred, is doing, is trying to buy up as much time as possible Before they ask a question.
	They're trying to buy as much, take up as much air time as possible when they have an opponent who they know overmatches them.
	I had this when I would appear on Fox News.
	There was, I had a debate segment for I want to say it was a year with Alicia Menendez, Senator Bob Menendez's daughter.
	Oh yeah.
	And then at a certain point she worked for a company who said you probably shouldn't, don't do this anymore.
	It was every Sunday.
	Sometimes Tucker would actually host it.
	He would fill in hosts for Clayton, Clayton Morris I believe was his name.
	And the other guy was Chip, something Riggs, something Riggs, anyway I'm trying to give
	you an Allison, Allison Camerota.
	So they would do Fox and Friends Sundays.
	And I got called in one time because what would happen is, is they would say things
	like, well, you know, as someone who's been raised in a political family in Washington
	D.C., insert 30 seconds on the clock.
	And then rather than an argument, I remember one time specifically, it was tossed to me.
	She said something like, and I don't know where Stephen got his college degree in the political sciences, and I responded with, never graduated grade school, what's your point?
	And there was dead air.
	And I was called to the second floor because I knew that that was the most effective course of action was to say, I see what you're doing.
	I see you right now.
	Ronnie James Dio this shit.
	I said, I see exactly what you're doing.
	I'm not even going to address the rest of psycho babble that you just spewed for 30 seconds to buy up time.
	I'm going to address what you thought was your argument and try and make it look silly.
	So the audience sees this appeal to authority fallacy.
	I got called into the second floor.
	I said, you know, you can't do that.
	I said, what?
	They said, this has been happening.
	You know, people have been complaining that you're too quick, you're too short.
	Not quick, meaning quick-witted.
	They said, you're too short with your answers.
	Look, there has to be a give and take.
	There has to be a back and forth where you have to take some time.
	They're not used to that.
	This is how we do things.
	And sometimes it would even put us in a quadrant view, even though we were in the same room.
	One time I was with Lanny Davis, or it might have been Doug Schoen, where they wanted us to seem like we were in different cities.
	And I reached from my quadrant into his and said, high five.
	I got called into the second floor for that.
	Yeah, they probably didn't like that.
	It is a parlor trick and they told me don't try and keep the points brief, which is what resonates with people.
	This is the difference.
	Donald Trump resonates with people who will be voting for him.
	That's why you see the polls widening.
	That's why those people don't trust the polls.
	They have a way of doing things.
	They told me you need to do things this way.
	When the American public, and by the way the average viewer, clearly has told them they don't want it that way.
	I was told that I was being too short.
	Imagine that!
	They're going, can you take more air time?
	I'm going, I don't want it!
	But that's because you as a performer, you just know that the minute you start lying, the minute you start thinking that the audience is not as smart as you are, you are in big trouble.
	Yes.
	And the audience, the biggest mistake you can make as a performer is to think that your jokes or your performance or what you're saying is going to be over their head and you have to dumb it down.
	Huge mistake, and that's what I see with CNN all the time.
	They say things that people, including the people that watch CNN, look at and go, it's not jiving with reality, man.
	You're trying to pull a fast one on me.
	That's what they do, especially when they start talking a lot like Axelrod.
	No, I think you're right.
	This is an important technique.
	Just if you see someone saying in 50 words what they can say in five, That person is likely dishonest.
	That's right.
	What you should do, if you want to edu- Gerald, you know this, when we do this show, we've- we've- basic- our blueprint is, watch what they do, and let's do the opposite.
	They don't provide any- any- any evidence, we're going to make sure that all of our references are publicly available.
	Everything is pre-taped and edited, we're going to do it live.
	Oh, they want to take up as much time to make one point as possible, we're going to give you two, three, or four, and allow you to then deep dive it as much as you want, because they don't serve you, they serve themselves.
	It's someone who likes to hear themselves talk.
	That's what you saw tonight, and you saw the con- and by the way, of course Donald Trump likes to hear himself talk, but he's talking directly to the American public.
	He wasn't talking to Caitlin Collins tonight, which I think was a very smart strategy on his part.
	Unbelievably good, yeah.
	Look, you make an example of her so that you convince the people watching.
	You think you're going to convince that broad with the hairy forms?
	There's nothing you can do that can change.
	I bet you she walked off the stage and said, I'm with her.
	I was jarred.
	This was jarring for me.
	And here's something I wanted to kind of go around and then we'll take some chats, of course, at lotofcreditor.com slash Mug Club.
	Here's the real value, I would say, in CNN versus Fox News.
	I used to have to kind of be coy about it.
	Look, you know, I was there for a few years.
	Okay.
	At least with CNN, People see who he's fighting.
	I think Donald Trump understood that if he would appear on Fox News, he would give them a platform, he would legitimize them, and he would legitimize the underhanded attacks.
	I'm telling you that when I was at Fox News, it was a Romney-Obama election.
	It was made known in no uncertain terms.
	That I better get in line for Romney.
	At that point, it was down to, I believe, Gingrich, Romney, Santorum.
	And I told you, I wasn't a huge fan of any of them for a political candidate.
	I think Rick Santorum's a decent guy.
	I spent time with his family.
	So I said, well, at this point, I think he would do better with the Rust Belt voters than Mitt Romney.
	And I was right, by the way.
	And I was told, no.
	Nope.
	Romney's our guy.
	And if you go and watch the coverage, it was very clear.
	They have made it clear, in no uncertain terms, that there is a hit out on Donald Trump, to try and kneecap him, to try and take him out, because he is now, for the first time, and maybe it's a result of ego.
	Light has been shined on Fox News right now for what they are.
	And tonight, at least Don... Sorry, I was about to say Don Lemon.
	At least Donald Trump knew who he was fighting.
	That's important.
	He knew who he was fighting out there.
	He wasn't fighting a ghost.
	And he didn't want to legitimize a fake conservative outlet.
	And by the way, it's not just Fox News.
	You've heard us talk about this.
	I'm not going to go back through it again.
	But you know where we line up.
	It's very important, and by the way, there's a huge value in having battle lines drawn, in having, not saying that all Republicans are good and all Democrats are bad, before you fence-sitters try and tell me, the two-party system, man, go to a parliamentary system, see how that works out, but there is a value in seeing a delineation in team jerseys and going, okay, you know what, hold on, at least I know where CNN lines up because I've heard everything that they've said, and Donald Trump is the other guy.
	You have a whole panel of people A representative from Florida, and Donald Trump is the other guy.
	Whereas on Fox News they would try and say, well you know, it's like the Anna Navarro thing, I'm a Republican except for every single policy, and I hate Donald Trump, and he's racist, and I can't believe Ben Jones took a picture with Candace Owens, I'm a Republican!
	Right?
	There's no, that's so dishonest.
	This is why you rarely hear us go after MSNBC other than to laugh at Joy Reid's latest Swiffer haircut.
	I have no problem with someone who says where they line up.
	I don't.
	The biggest problem I have is with turncoats, is with betrayers, is with people who claim to be something that they're not.
	And at least tonight Donald Trump didn't have to grapple with that.
	And so I think that's a win for him.
	I want to see where you guys line up here tonight.
	I will say this, myself, sorry, I'm leading the witness.
	Unless DeSantis takes it hard to the media on election integrity, unless DeSantis takes it hard to the media on their bias and on, you know, for example, the double standard of classified documents, all that, but particularly election integrity.
	I would vote for Donald Trump in the primaries.
	If Donald Trump performs like he did tonight, it is over.
	I'm not talking about performance, I'm saying that's required for me, that's mandatory for a Republican candidate to say, we need to have election integrity in this country.
	So when I say performance, I don't mean just the performance, I mean answering the hard questions, I mean having the positions that he holds, and also being able to point back and be like, Donald Trump 2019 is what you'll be getting in round two.
	You'll be getting the economy that I brought you for three years before COVID hit and before the world turned upside down, the most kind of jarring experience this generation, if I can borrow a term, has ever experienced.
	You'll be getting Donald Trump 2019.
	And it'll be more fun than ever because the media has been even more exposed and the Biden economy has been more exposed.
	And by the way, really quickly, Joe Biden actually tweeted out There were not fine people on both sides of Charlottesville.
	I don't remember him mentioning Charlottesville, by the way.
	The January 6th rioters were not good people.
	End of story.
	Now, here's the thing.
	Let's keep that up.
	Let's keep that up.
	When people try to say they're the party of nuance, Donald Trump said, I pardoned some of them.
	I pardoned a lot of them.
	I don't know all of them.
	Some of them got out of hand.
	Right?
	That's actually far more couch than saying the January 6th rioters were not good people.
	But it doesn't say there were peaceful people there.
	Yeah.
	The vast majority of whom, outside of federal agents, did not commit crimes.
	That's a very broad brush.
	One is saying, hey, I think a lot of people haven't gotten a fair shake.
	The other is an incitement to violence.
	That right there is an incitement to violence.
	Because if you say that everyone there, January 6th, by the way, was it a quarter million people?
	Was it over 200,000?
	I know that.
	Some estimates had it close to 500,000, depending on who you... Let's use the low number, 200,000.
	You've now told the American public that It's open season on them.
	They're bad people.
	Let's other them.
	Let's dehumanize them.
	Let's treat them subhumanely.
	Let's do that.
	That's what that tweet just did.
	Notice what he didn't say?
	Be mostly peaceful?
	Because he can't say that.
	Kamala Harris didn't say that.
	She said they should continue rioting.
	Yeah, that's the proper response is what Kamala Harris said.
	Look, people want to act like Joe Biden is a nice guy who's just bad.
	No, this is evil, evil shit.
	That right there is evil shit.
	And he should know better if he's President of the United States.
	Well, first of all, the double standard is Jarring.
	And I never use that word.
	And I never use that word.
	But you use it all the time!
	Okay, fine.
	You have to drink.
	Alright, fine, I'll drink.
	But it's just, it's jarring.
	But look, listen, I got two things to say.
	Toolman, you have to drink.
	It would be even better if you were drinking from a jar.
	I know.
	But I prefer my real glass, everyone.
	So you're not a Pinterest wine mom?
	No, of course not.
	Not really.
	This is my real, this is the way I really talk, actually.
	I'm from England, yes.
	I find that jarring.
	I know.
	It should be.
	It's positively unsettling.
	I hate to be so unnerving.
	But, you know, if I could be... The one thing about me, I'm full of verve.
	Yes, yes.
	Oh!
	Right in the genitals.
	He hit me in my privates.
	Battery!
	Battery hit me in my genitals.
	Keep using that voice.
	See what else flies your way.
	I know, an English accent.
	I do believe that was a come on.
	Yes, of course, I know.
	That makes him gay!
	My English accent makes him very horny.
	That makes him gay!
	Well, it makes him break rules.
	You're doing a gay voice and then he says he's going to have a go at you.
	I know, I know.
	That means he likes to have sex with men.
	It's not gay if I'm speaking this way.
	It's gay of him.
	Not you, but him.
	No, this is more recreation.
	It's just college stuff.
	You're one of those homosexuals.
	Yes.
	Okay, sorry.
	It's only gay and queer if you're smiling when you do it, and you know that.
	Or looking in the eyes.
	Or looking in the eyes.
	You can be frowning but looking in the eyes, or you can be smiling and not looking in the eyes, but you can't be doing both.
	Go ahead.
	I'm so confused, but I'm horny.
	Now listen, here's what I'd say.
	I like that the grand experiment is alive and well.
	Democracy is alive and well.
	As long as we have this outrage on both sides, and we have all this stuff, including lies, it's never been different in our republic.
	But I will say this.
	I do think Donald Trump is the most divisive figure in American politics, in the history of our country.
	If I had a choice between Donald Trump and DeSantis, I'm voting for DeSantis.
	However, that's a fantasy.
	Because if you think DeSantis has a chance in the primaries against Donald Trump, you got another thing coming.
	So at the end of the day, this is going to be a redux.
	This is going to be a redux.
	It's going to be Biden-Trump once again.
	And I think that's very winnable because you've got Biden is seen as a proxy.
	He volunteered his, you know, retarded tribute for Obama.
	And you have eight, then you have three, then you have another four of Biden.
	People see the contrast.
	I mean, the media will have to be working overtime, but it doesn't matter anymore.
	It's like a monkey throwing shit.
	Nobody watches them.
	Trump, I will say this, Trump makes people, the left, so angry that it turns them into liars.
	They compromise everything they're about.
	They will do whatever it takes to get that guy out.
	In their book...
	They will do whatever it takes to get that guy out.
	This that's that right there. It's your neck. I think you go for
	Is that what it is?
	It's going to be far worse in 2024 because guys, we have to band together.
	We have to do whatever it takes to save democracy and keep Donald Trump out of office.
	And they'll use that to justify, oh, you're a Trump supporter?
	Bang.
	We already saw that.
	Trump corrupts, he corrupts the left.
	He corrupts the, he corrupts mainstream corporate media because they will do whatever it takes.
	And I think that they are digging their own grave.
	You just touched on something very profound.
	I think you're right.
	And look, by the way, Donald Trump has a lot of flaws.
	You can say the same thing about the Trump sycophants who will never acknowledge anything that he does that is a fault.
	But like you said, he corrupts the left.
	They lose their mind.
	And here's why.
	Because no one would argue this, right?
	Including, they just said it tonight, using words like chaos, using words like Donald Trump has no respect, you know, for the rule of law or order.
	That's what they'll say.
	What do they mean to say, right?
	Ultimately, the synonym for that, the word they mean to use is he's uncontrollable.
	and the left is obsessed with control. They want to control what you eat, they want to control what
	you drive, they want to control what your state, they want to control what level of authority you
	have over your own children, over your own household, they want to control what you learn,
	they want to control who pays for what you learn, they want to control what you can charge for rent
	or if you can charge at all.
	They want to control the past.
	They want to control history.
	They want to control the past, they want to control history, they want to control which history you... They want to control what is considered the truth, and when that's not allowed, they want to control new legislation to determine what is truthful, and we just heard the lies tonight.
	Donald Trump is unco... If there is nothing else of value from Donald Trump, if you're a DeSantis person, and by the way, I like both of them to be clear.
	I want both of them to play a role in national politics.
	Also love the flying V.
	Donald Trump, and I'll leave you with this, and by the way, you can go to lidowwithcrowder.com slash MugClub.
	There's $10 off, it's $79 annually if you use the promo code CrowderTownHall, or if you never got your mug, if you signed up, let's say, a few months ago and, you know, you weren't able to get a refund, you can send in your screenshot, proof of purchase, to freemugclub at lidowwithcrowder.com and we will give you three months free.
	That's how we know how to make it right.
	Look, we are entirely funded by viewers like you and a few sponsors every now and then.
	If there's nothing else to take from tonight, Both the left and the right are saying it, but in two different ways.
	And you can like this, you can love it, you can hate it, you can take it or leave it.
	The left has admitted they are obsessed with control.
	And Donald Trump is uncontrollable.
	And speaking of someone who is imminently controllable, before we go to Mug Club, and by the way, if you're watching on Rumble, just hit that little button right there.
	Right down there, you hit that button, you get to keep watching for another 30, 45 minutes.
	I don't know how long we're going to be going tonight.
	Let's check in our last, we spared no expense, we paid for it.
	We have our own camera right now at the White House.
	Check in what's going on with President Biden.
	And if you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't black.
	Celtic is going down for his nap.
	Bye.
	Ready for night-night.
