| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
🎵Money, money🎵 🎵Yeah🎵
🎵Yeah🎵 Oh! I made it in time. Uh...
Glad to see... what?
This patch just broke my pen.
Glad to be with you today.
A lot of developments since yesterday.
Obviously the Nashville Manifesto, which is available now publicly.
Made some predictions yesterday, and surprisingly they all came true.
But there's quite a bit more to that.
If you didn't understand that the media and big tech is the enemy of a free people, Well, hold on to your butts.
I think today will eliminate any doubt.
Let's get on with it.
Hey, what's that?
Looks like a hatch.
Should we open it?
I think we have to.
It looks old.
Listen, you smell something?
I can't see a thing.
It's too dark.
Hello?
Well, hello boys!
Is it all clear out there?
Claire, how long have you been down there?
Since Y2K.
Did the computers destroy the world?
No!
Not the way you think.
Yeah, it's a long story.
Wait, how have you been surviving down there since before 2000?
Canned beans and pickles.
How have you survived 20 plus years on pickles?
Pickles was my German shepherd.
Gross!
Is there anything you need that we can maybe help you with?
A fresh bucket of s**t. Yeah, we don't have to- Did you say s**t?
Did you say s**t bucket?
Like a bucket to s**t in?
Or should it be like a bucket of s**t?
There's no way.
Do you say- Do you say s**t?
Like a s**t bucket to s**t in?
No.
You want a fresh bucket of s**t?
Yes.
I don't think we should help this lady.
I don't feel good about it.
For God's sake, she's eating her dog.
She's also eating s**t. You don't know that.
She could be doing other things with the s**t. It's not a s**t bucket.
She corrected me and said it's a bucket of s**t. Maybe she's building another... She's not building stairs.
Look, we can't...
Get you a bucket of s***, but I think I can do you one better.
How about a three-month supply emergency food kit from Patriot Supply?
They're the leading brand in emergency food supplies.
And if you go to prepwithcrowder.com... Like on a computer?
Yeah.
Come back when you've got a fresh bucket of s***!
Go to prepwithcrowder.com.
Prepwithcrowder.com.
It is prepwithcrowder.com.
I'm supposed to say it three times, I think.
The media is not going to give anyone a fair shake.
You will see it on display.
They are scared when you look at the recent polls.
They have nothing to off.
These are empty suits.
I'm Stuart Vardy, and I am thrilled to be sitting alongside Ilya Kondarov.
Call, uh, uh, uh, Univision.
52 points.
That's the lead Donald Trump has on you.
Tons of fun.
Look at him.
It's a wax museum.
Change the f***ing hair, put on a dress.
Does anyone actually think that Chris Christie had a good night?
WORLDSTAR!
See, I'm trying to be nice.
Don't call him a fat pig.
Doesn't matter if you're George W. Bush, Ron DeSantis, whoever has an R next to their name is going to get the Trump treatment.
The media is not your friend.
It was the modern version of Procto.
This is the first time I've seen a video of a game that I've never seen before.
It was a little longer because I need a little pep in my step.
We're running on very little sleep here at the show.
Appreciate you being with us.
I know that there are a lot of you with us.
Really quickly, let's just get to the rundown of what we'll be covering today.
We will be discussing the Nashville Manifesto, the release, the aftermath.
Of course, we've been suppressed and outright removed from big tech.
There was a spokesperson who claims to speak on behalf of all the parents.
Who attacked us as well as our source trying to intimidate investigative journalists as well as whistleblowers and
even the Nashville mayor Decided to get in in in line with his weird little balloon
head So a little strange. Let me ask you this right off the bat.
What shocks you most Now that the dust has settled a little bit and then it's
been kicked back up as it relates to the Nashville manifesto the writings
and as anything surprised you most as it relates to The sort of falling out I guess
And we just had some developments this morning, that's why we started a little late, from the New York Times.
All the news that's fit to bullshit.
So we'll get into that and more.
Boy, hey, you know what?
Happy to be here.
I'm glad to be here.
If this means that YouTube suspends us, Facebook gets rid of us, New York Times wants to come after us, the mayor...
We're fine.
I mean, we're not fine.
You know, it's going to be very hard and expensive.
But we're glad to do it for you.
Number two, Captain Morgan, how are you, sir?
I'm doing well.
And hey, by the way, the Do It For You audience out there, thank you so much, Mug Club.
You probably experienced a little blip at the beginning there.
Don't worry about it.
There's so many new people that signed up, and so many of you that are watching right now.
It's pretty big numbers for Mug Club, the strengthening servers every day.
So we're going to be strengthening those today.
There are a lot of you today, so it was a little bit laggy, crashed.
Those watching exclusively on Mug Club, I know if you're in the chat, let us know if it's working for you.
It's a good thing, but we are going to ensure that, you know, we probably have to, I don't know how many more millions to spend on service, but it's a good problem to have.
When you hear this, you know who's in third chair.
You love them?
Most of you.
November 9th.
November 9th, 10th.
I have off days.
I have off days.
At 11th he'll be at Good Night's, don't call it Charlie, at Raleigh, North Carolina, and you can see the rest of his dates at briancallin.com.
And he has a show here on Mug Club on Tuesdays, Off Limits.
Mr. Brian Callin, how are you?
I'm well, my friend.
Good to be on the outside with you looking in at all the hypocrisy.
So let's go.
And craziness.
How long, did you rehearse that in the mirror?
I didn't.
I thought to myself, well I got this, you told me to change my You know, you didn't like it.
Yeah, because you had a name-brand sweater.
They'll sue us!
So cozy, though.
But then I changed it for cashmere.
It is.
It's cashmere.
Oh boy.
I don't even know what it is.
I just know silk comes from worms, so I don't like it.
Okay.
So yesterday, just a recap for those of you who missed it, you can go to ladderwithcreditor.com.
So, let's get started. So, I'm going to go ahead and get started. So, I'm going to go
ahead and get started.
So, I'm going to go ahead and get started.
Be this, this YouTube dump button.
Ha ha!
That means head on over to Rumble, and that's a signal to Mission Control.
You absolutely should have hit that.
You should have already seen it by now.
You should have already hit it, because we are not removed from YouTube, but YouTube is using Rico against us because we're a criminal organization.
I'm the head of it?
We knew the story.
Fredo, at least.
Oh, come on!
We knew that's an insult to your people.
We knew that we get some attention, and we knew that you would if you shared it.
So we made predictions yesterday, and this is something that, if you guys know, My old friend Andrew, this is something that he discussed.
You get to finish the sentences of the left.
You know what they're going to do before they do it.
I didn't expect them to do it as quickly or as dishonestly as they did, and we have some clips here today from some interviews that were conducted that then were released and chopped up.
But yesterday on the show, we said, you know what?
Call us to the mat.
We are going to make these predictions as to how the coverage will play out.
You know what, let's call it.
Like Gerald said, the left won't cover it.
It'll try and get us banned behind the scenes.
That includes, by the way, all of media and big tech.
I would predict that some people on the right will cover it.
Don't know how much attribution there will be because a lot of people don't want to highlight that they haven't covered it themselves.
And you'll probably see some blowback as to, well, you shouldn't have covered this because you could create copycats, right?
That's some of the virtue signaling that you will see.
And I would love to hear from you.
Comment below if that's a line of thought to which you subscribe.
That's how I'm calling it.
Spoiler alert!
I mean, we were right.
Yeah.
There's no prestige.
So, what happened?
The video was removed from YouTube, where they cited us being a criminal organization.
The manifesto has also been banned on all major social media platforms, with the exception of X. There were a couple of warnings that went up, were taken down by X. And of course, not just us, but the manifesto itself was attacked by local and national media.
Repeatedly.
The Covenant spokesperson, who claims to speak on behalf of all of the parents, has attacked us and demanded money, I guess.
And then the mayor of Nashville himself launched an investigation.
But here's something that you're not seeing, okay?
No one, after I would say noon Central yesterday, no one is refuting the authenticity.
It started with, how do we know this is authentic?
Right from maybe about half an hour to an hour.
Then people were jumping on the bandwagon claiming that they had confirmed the authenticity when they would have had no way to do so.
And after that, no one has refuted the authenticity, including the mayor, including the police department.
They are attacking the messenger.
So why would that be?
And I know that there's some people who are new here.
Now there are some people who will buy this lie from this self-appointed spokesperson that this is harming anyone who was involved with the shooting.
Not a lot of people are actually buying that line.
But there are a lot of people out there who are inquisitive saying, well, hold on a second,
it makes sense, manifesto, I mean the National Police Association said that we have the right
to do this, this is based on precedent, look at all the other manifestos.
Why is the media so aggressively trying to bury this?
And that's the same reason that they're attacking this program and all of you, to be clear,
Many of you have lost your accounts for sharing it.
So let me tell you why.
Remember, this is the same group of people, meaning the Media Entertainment Industrial Complex, who handled it this way from the beginning.
So right after the shooting, they were, rather than focusing on accurate reporting and making sure that everyone was kept safe and understanding the motives, understanding the targets, They were tripping over pronouns.
The shooter has been identified as 28-year-old female Audrey Hale.
He said she's a former student of the school and confirmed that Audrey Hale identified herself as a transgender person.
Tonight, nearly a month after Metro Police shot and killed the gunman in that case.
Where Monday a shooter blasted through locked doors using a high-powered rifle.
There it looks like they pass Some type of front entrance.
Police tonight on why they believe the assailant may have had some weapons training.
I want to go to Avriana Patton, a former classmate of the shooter.
She received a direct message from the shooter on Instagram.
Student at the school.
I don't know what grade she's attended or grades, but we do firmly believe she was a student there.
There was she, there was they, there was Aiden, there was Audrey.
By the way, we also have a collage of plenty of other mainstream outlets.
They were trying super hard to make sure they got the pronouns right.
Let's bring up Collage B2.
Look at CNN, New York Times.
Right there.
USA Today.
CNN, here's a quote.
Police have referred to Hale as the, quote, female shooter.
When asked for clarification, a spokesperson told CNN Hale used male pronouns on a social media profile.
The New York Times.
There was confusion later on Monday about the gender identity of the assailant in the Nashville shooting.
The suspect appeared to identify as a man in recent months.
USA Today.
Police on Monday afternoon said that the shooter was a transgender man.
Officials had initially misidentified the gender of the shooter.
This is the point, because you're going to see today, they want to distance themselves from that.
So, I'm going to do that.
Painful?
It is disturbing.
And our hearts go out to the trans community as they are under attack right now.
Tennessee's already under siege.
Transgender community is terrified.
One advocate told NBC News, we are already fearing for our lives.
Now it's even worse.
Pronouns do not kill children.
People with guns kill children.
My fear is that folks will continue to weaponize things against the trans community with this being one of them.
Transgender community and its supporters see a disturbing trend in anti-trans legislation in states across the country.
bathroom bans, pronoun bans, educational restrictions on gender identity topics.
So if a shooter happens to be white but isn't a white superior.
So if a shooter happens to be white but isn't a white...
...then it's a white.
So if a shooter happens to be white but isn't a white...
...then it's a white.
So if a shooter happens to be white but isn't a white...
...then it's a white.
So if a shooter happens to be white but isn't a white...
...then it's a white.
So if a shooter happens to be white but isn't a white...
...then it's a white.
So if a shooter happens to be white but isn't a white...
...then it's a white.
So if a shooter happens to be white but isn't a white...
...then it's a white.
So if a shooter happens to be white but isn't a white...
...then it's a white.
So if a shooter happens to be white but isn't a white...
...then it's a white.
So if a shooter happens to be white but isn't a white...
Yesterday?
And it tells you how everything's going to play out.
It says, Hi there!
My name is Emily Cochrane.
I'm a reporter with the New York Times.
I'm working on a story on Mr. Crowder's publication of the Covenant writings, and just left a press conference where one parent, Brent Leatherwood, was critical of the decision to publish those photos.
He described it as chasing clicks at one point, and said that the proceeds from the video should go to the families.
I mean, you don't even wait to say more money, more money, more money.
I watched the video earlier this morning and will incorporate some of that, but also wanted to make sure Mr. Crowder didn't have any additional comment or response to the pushback.
Thank you.
Now, here's the thing.
The article was released today.
I did respond to this person.
You did?
I did.
They didn't include my response.
Oh.
This is the idea that we were chasing clicks and we should give the revenue, the proceeds, should go to the families.
And let me again read this.
He described it as chasing clicks and that the proceeds from the video should go to the families.
They asked me for comment.
I gave them a comment.
And I was very, very clear.
And I was very careful with my words.
I said, thank you for reaching out.
I appreciate you wanting to be even-handed in your writing process.
In attempting to familiarize myself with your previous writing, I attempted to access more of your past articles, but couldn't make it past the paywall.
Bring it up, overlay C2.
This is, this is, they want to say that they're, and this is the thing, it's the lie, first off right there, it's the lies by omission.
It's the not including the statement.
Why?
Because it makes you look silly, Emily Cochrane.
And then, It's the hypocrisy of accusing you of doing exactly what it is that they're doing.
Hey, the New York Times has subscribers.
They have you paying.
They do.
They're just not doing investigative journalism.
You're paying for an expensive midtown office, is what you're paying for.
Yeah.
You're not actually getting the journalism that you're paying for, certainly not the entertainment.
And all of us had questions.
Flashmuck Club, you know there's a promo code on the website.
You know there's a promo code undercover or subscribe to the New York Times.
We are at least offering you an option.
It's okay for them to do it.
They don't do investigative journalism.
They suppress stories.
They don't actually break any new stories anymore.
And they don't even include the comment that they received last night.
There's no excuse.
Emily, you are lazy and you don't do your due diligence.
Please, you mustn't be afraid to stop perpetuating the original stereotype of female reporter's love.
Don't be fooled.
They don't send you those emails because they want to get more information.
They're not doing any journalism there.
They're basically writing a hit piece and they want you to say something that they can then use against you or take out of context or use half of what you said to make it look like they're right.
Let's apply this to Mr. Leatherwood, who by the way was a parent I believe of someone or children who went to Covenant, who were not shot.
From what I understand.
Thank God.
And you've never heard me say anything other than, I cannot even imagine dealing with that kind of a tragedy.
But I want to know, this person who issued a press conference, are there any other relatives to those victims who got the New York Times treatment?
Where they said, hey, would you like to comment?
And I said, yeah!
Yeah, I'm a parent, I'm an uncle, I'm a mom, I'm a grandparent, I'm a brother, I'm a sister.
I would like to know why this happened and if my relative or friend was targeted.
And that's not included?
You would never know.
You would never know that there was a comment issued if I didn't tell you right now.
And we're going to get to more of that and we are releasing full videos and transcripts today on X from some of the wonderful beacons of journalism that we had to deal with yesterday.
So, let me go to these predictions from yesterday.
Some of these developments.
Which, look, some people would be scared.
Alright, fine.
Mayor, you want to investigate?
FBI?
Go ahead.
Tell me the crime that's committed.
We are assured that this was a felony.
Good!
Make it stick!
Now, let's go back to these predictions that we made yesterday and let's see if they came to fruition.
And it's not, hey, aren't we impressive?
It's the left is so unimpressive.
They are so lazy and predictable that you can see this from a mile off.
So the first prediction that we made yesterday was that Big Tech would of course try to ban throttle sensor shadow ban.
You know what, let's call it.
Like Gerald said, the left won't cover it, or they'll try and get us banned behind the scenes.
That includes, by the way, all of media and big tech.
And what is the net result?
This is exactly what happened.
YouTube removed our video, stating, we wanted to let you know our team reviewed your content, and we think it violates our violent criminal organizations policy.
We have an organization!
You are the mafia, my friend!
We're part of a gang, boys!
We're the underworld!
I love it!
God, how dare you?
Violent criminal organizations.
Maybe they mean the...
Charlie Hunnam does the worst American accent ever.
Hey, we're about to go pick up a shipment of AK-47s.
Yeah, that's how a biker talks.
They said, we know you may not have realized this was a violation of our policies, so we're not applying a strike to your channel.
Well, that's kind of you.
However, we have removed your video from YouTube.
So look.
YouTube.
Okay?
Now this also goes to Google.
Google banned sharing of it.
So that's Alphabet.
So now all of Google, all of YouTube, where people go for their video content, this doesn't exist.
That's a starting point.
Yeah.
And we talked about the Google thing during the show yesterday.
We brought it up for you to see that it said, things are changing very quickly.
No, they're not.
Yeah.
There is a release of information.
That's the only thing that happened, Google.
Then they decided to ban the sharing of it altogether.
You have Reddit.
By the way, Reddit actually would suspend accounts.
That freaks me out a little bit.
For sharing it at all.
So, Meta.
This is Facebook, Instagram, you know, they have the Messenger app.
Banned sharing it entirely.
It says, your post goes against our community standards on violence and incitement.
So, just to be clear, right now you've just added up YouTube, Alphabet, Google.
Meta means Facebook, Instagram, even in your messenger apps.
Messaging people.
Banned.
Suspended.
That sliver of the pie.
Mm hmm.
And see, it's hard to understand the rules because this content is just fine.
We want to get right to that breaking news, an anti-Muslim terror attack in New Zealand.
The Prime Minister there is calling it one of the nation's darkest days.
A gunman attacked two mosques while hundreds of Muslims were praying.
The man who is claiming responsibility and charged with murder is an extreme right-wing white supremacist.
A total of 13 people were shot in what they're calling a racially motivated attack.
In Jacksonville, Florida, four people are dead, including the gunman, after shooting inside a Dollar General store.
Authorities held a news conference just a few moments ago saying the incident was racially motivated.
And they quoted directly from the manifesto, and a lot of those, to be clear.
They want you to live in darkness.
Right.
And that's not a good thing for anybody, whether you're left, whether you're right.
Living in complete darkness with a lack of transparency, darkness isn't good.
We tried to A-B test, we ran an experiment here in the office, and it didn't go well.
Ah!
Captain Morgan, what do you got?
So all of those clips, just so you know, were from the day of the shooting, day after the shooting that we just showed you.
So the media was doing their job and getting the information out to the public and that was not going to be a problem for anybody.
It wasn't going to create any issues.
But also the previous school shooting, obviously Uvalde was one of the most hair-raising experiences we ever had to see happen and unfold.
But the Uvalde Foundation is actually calling for a boycott of this show after the release of the manifesto.
Why?
Why would you be calling for a boycott of a show that discusses the motivations behind a mass shooter so that we can then maybe prevent more mass shootings?
I would think That having some kind of security, having some kind of an understanding of where these people may be coming from would be in everyone's best interest, especially people touched by tragedy, though it may be hard to relive these situations.
Are you saying the same things to the media that cover this story on an anniversary date?
Because next year, when it gets to March, there's probably going to be a story in the media, the one-year anniversary of.
Are we holding them to that same standard?
I seem to remember the Uvalde police chief saying that they were Fine policemen who did a great job on the outset.
Until more video came to light.
Where they waited in the hallways with children dying.
So the transparency is where we all agreed, even found common ground, we need to better equip our police force.
Oh my god!
They're running away from gunfire.
Remember after that we found out that some parents were being tased?
They were trying to break in to save their own kids.
Remember that?
I'm sure Mission Control can bring that up where he said, oh you know they did a great job and maybe we'll see what we could do better.
They did a horrible job.
Yeah, you were covering your butt.
And so at this point, hey, you know what?
Could there have been warnings?
Were there warnings?
Were there people who expressed concern?
We're chasing down some other leads too as it relates to Covenant, just to be clear.
Yeah.
What if it's preventable?
What if this was preventable?
And what if knowing this makes these more preventable in the future?
And this is why we do what we do.
Look, if you want to support it, like we said, if you don't tune into The Daily Show, Brian's Show, Alex Jones' Show, Nick DiPaolo's Daily Show, still, none of this investigative journalism exists if not for you.

Also, if you just want to watch for free, download the Rumble app.
If this hasn't shown you that YouTube hates you, then nothing.
Just download the Rumble app.
It's the easiest thing to do on your mobile phone.
You'll get notifications when things get up.
They will not crumble.
They will not falter.
They will not bend the knee to big tech.
Okay.
Let's go to another prediction here.
And the reason we're doing this is not just as an end zone dance.
It's so that you can see this happening in real time.
See us calling it and see it coming to fruition and know that this is exactly what will happen in your life if you try and speak the truth.
That's the issue.
This may happen in your local school with the teachers union.
It may happen in your local police department with your police union.
It may happen if you work for a company that's valuing DEI scores.
It can happen to any of you.
So watch this happen in real time.
We can fight for you so that you don't have to every single day.
If we're not doing that, we're just stealing your dollar, right?
Like the New York Times with a subscription.
So, another prediction we made.
The second one.
We said, you know what?
Probably what's going to happen, not probably, definitely, we'll get blowback for covering it.
They'll attack the messenger.
And you'll probably see some blowback as to, well, you shouldn't have covered this because you could create copycats, right?
That's some of the virtue signaling that you will see.
I mean, one guess.
The spin cycle, of course, has been massive.
And this is only after it was... Keep in mind, over seven months, dead silence.
Nothing.
You knew nothing.
You had your suspicions, but you heard nothing.
Then this went to the number one trend.
Millions of people saw it.
They had to respond.
Did they respond with saying, this isn't true?
No.
They responded by trying to spin it saying, this hurts people.
By the way, I don't know if you know this, words are violence.
Silence is violence.
I remember when violence was violence, but now violence isn't violence if it's perpetrated against the right people.
So the Nashville media, the local media, it's always cute because some of these people think they actually...
Our journalists.
They had meltdowns over the coverage.
You can bring up this collage there, Matt.
You have a WSM4 Nashville.
WSM4 Nashville.
SMV4.
Says talk show host criticized for releasing Covenant School Shooters writings.
Nonprofit calls for boycott after leak of Covenant School Shooters writings.
Who cares?
It's amazing to me.
I just wonder if the New York Times or one of these mainstream legacy media outlets got a hold of that manifesto and they released it, which I think they would have.
And then I would have liked to have seen that blowback.
It'd be very interesting if there was any blowback at all.
Well, this next guy who I spoke with from WSM4, I guess he's their chief investigative.
Is that his title?
Yes.
I want to make sure I don't get it wrong because I can't tell by the eyeball test.
Chief investigative reporter.
Chief investigative reporter who honed the chief.
Meaning he never leaves the office.
Yes.
His name is Jeremy Finley.
And look, we're actually uploading the entire interview.
to X right now. You can bring this up as an overlay. It is up on X. We will get it up on Rumble,
on our channels. Can you bring it up just there as an overlay so people can see? Go and follow
me on Twitter. The full interview in its full context. Boom.
It's there. Because I want you to see what happens when you sit down. And I knew that this
was going to be an interview where this guy had a little bit of an axe to grind because this outlet,
I believe, had tried to sue to get the manifesto.
Yeah, they were part of it.
They tried to, and they didn't.
No.
So then they were upset that somebody else did.
And by the way, the fact that no one reached out to you locally means they don't trust you.
Exactly, yeah.
So I want you to see how they cut the interview.
And then we'll show you some clips here, but again, full transparency, I want you to go and watch the full interview, also because it's kind of funny.
Here's how WSM4, Nashville's most trusted news, I have no idea if they are.
They might be second most trusted news, but I'm sure they're trusted to some degree.
Here's how they cut the interview and let it.
Crowder admits he is biased and believes he was right to release the writings.
Crowder is no stranger to controversy.
He's been accused of homophobia, misogyny, and racism.
He has remained defiant in the wake of these criticisms and steadfast in his beliefs, including that it's taken too long for Metro Police to release the Covenant shooter's writings.
So all of that is... It's true!
Except it's spelled louder with a U. I don't know if you...
Yeah.
It's not a typo somewhere in an article.
It's in the chyron!
The way he just said that, though.
You've been accused of these things.
Homophobia, etc.
And then it said, and he stands by these beliefs.
Yeah, exactly.
The way they insinuate, you cannot escape that.
But you didn't accuse me.
I will accuse you of being a partisan hack who just isn't honest about it.
Well, people tell you.
Yes, I am biased.
Comment below.
Have you ever heard me say that I am unbiased?
Yeah, exactly.
ever. Have you ever heard the... Now on the flip side, how many times, give or take, have
you heard me say, I am biased? Of course. That doesn't change the fact that I'm
seeking the truth, and we make the references available. My problem is with
people who lie about it. Yeah, exactly. I don't care if Jesus Christ had presented
these documents. I wouldn't be looking at him and saying, well I have a problem
with you or I like you so they must be true.
I would be looking at the documents and seeing what the documents said.
You guys are missing the boat, and it's so obvious that there is no good reason for you doing that.
You're not attacking our commentary on these documents.
You're attacking the very fact that we released them.
The person that released them, which you wanted to do!
Exactly, but how does... Let's assume that you were not only accused of all those things, but guilty of all those things.
Does it change a single word on the page?
I'm probably guilty of at least one.
Well, I'm just saying... Maybe a little homophobic.
I don't know.
We'll see.
You're afraid of homophobes.
Guess what?
If it's Charles Manson who happened to find a manifesto, he's like, I found the manifesto for my cellmate.
You're like, okay, well, I don't think the swastika on the forehead's a good look, but he seemed to check out.
Okay.
It's so irrelevant and it's so obvious what they're trying to do here and I don't know if it's them being pissed off or trying to run cover for maybe these things should never just have seen the light of day because we don't like... Well, local news is an illusion, just to be clear.
Anyone who thinks, ah, the golden age of journalism, there was no golden age of journalism.
Walter Cronkite was a completely biased hack and local news doesn't exist.
It's run by basically three companies, just to be clear.
So here's how they covered The rest, or I guess a portion of this, um, of the interview and how they chose to present it between the five and six o'clock broadcasts.
Local news.
As we said, Crowder has an agenda and I asked what the agenda was for his source in releasing three pages of writings.
And a lot of people thought that it was necessary for, uh, this to be out there.
And there are people involved with the Nashville PD who also believe that, uh, Things haven't been necessarily transparent.
We want that so we can examine it for context, we can use experts to evaluate this.
You have only released three pages and I'm wondering if you think that's irresponsible.
I sincerely don't believe for a second, and I don't think that you do, that any of this would have ever been released if not for what took place today.
I hope if they have more and there's more context, great.
I want to.
Our job here is done.
So let me tell you something.
That wasn't how I answered that question.
By the way, it still kind of stands.
But I didn't answer it in that sequence.
This is another trick that they pull?
That's not how the guy looked when I spoke with him.
Can you guys give me some of the lighting difference?
His hair's on the other side!
And by the way, can you guys get me some of that lighting?
They made this hack look like David Morse!
Pretty good job.
Yeah, they did a very good job.
And I know, and look, and it's silly, you know, because he's obviously hiding what he actually looks like.
There's a reason he's local.
The dishonesty there is when you record an interview and then they go back afterward and re-record their questions.
Now, I won't say that in this case he misrepresented his questions, but they will do that.
You know, a lot of the times people would ask, on The Daily Show, why would they answer those absurd questions?
Because they didn't, right?
Those questions were never asked, and then afterwards they filmed themselves asking those questions.
But here's something they can do.
For example, when I'm doing interview number 3, 4, 5, or you're doing that in a given day, Word whiskers.
He can edit out his word whiskers.
Maybe he mispronounces something.
Maybe one of his sources is not correct.
Maybe he was caught flat-footed and I asked him a question point-blank and there was a very long pause because he didn't know how to answer because he's not equipped for it.
All of those things can be edited out, if not completely wiped from the record, to change the dynamic of the interview that you see.
So here is how I fully addressed the question.
And again, the full video with full context is now available on X.
Here's how I addressed it in its full context when he asked me about just releasing three pages.
As journalists, we want the entire manifesto released.
We want that so we can examine it for context, we can use experts to evaluate this.
You have only released three pages, and I'm wondering if you think that's irresponsible.
Why would that be irresponsible?
Because there isn't a context to it.
What I think is irresponsible is, how long has it been since this shooting?
Uh, roughly at what, eight to nine months?
Yeah, somewhere between, yeah, I think it's late seven, call it eight months, okay?
Who's been involved in this investigation?
I mean, not only the PD, right, but you have the FBI involved, these people saying it's, you know, this information should not get out there, they want this suppressed, uh, but they haven't been able to name any other people of interest with their investigation, and the American public has seen nothing.
We know more about the Christchurch shooting, which, by the way, if you look at that manifesto, it was trolling.
In this case, this is authentic.
This is someone who was deranged.
This is someone who was steeped their entire life, it seems, in the modern progressive ideology.
You know, you don't use the term white privilege unironically before you commit a mass shooting.
crackers. Searly, don't believe for a second, and I don't think that you do, that any of
this would have ever been released if not for what took place today.
And by the way, you can comment below.
I 100% stand behind that.
If we didn't do what we had done yesterday, you'd still know nothing, and I don't believe
you would ever have had anything.
I don't...
...was done. At the very least now, people know they were sold a false bill of goods,
or at least they know the truth was hidden from them.
Yeah.
I just want to be clear.
I absolutely... We would not be having this conversation.
It would still be about victimizing LGBTQ plus people when it was just some person who was mentally deranged.
And keep in mind, again, remember those pronouns we discussed earlier?
They wanted to honor them because they were more concerned?
What about avoiding those landmines when this is before the bodies had even assumed room temperature?
Well now, when they know that this person obviously was motivated by modern progressive ideology, they want to distance themselves.
They're like, no, no, no, no, no, this is just a crazy person, so the pronouns aren't all that important.
Right.
Here you go.
We have heard repeatedly that this was a person that was so mentally ill that there may not be any understanding of why she did what she did because she was so mentally ill.
But I don't have the entire conflict.
I don't have all of her writing.
Why do you say she?
Well, I will say she, because I have interviewed her attorney for the family, and the family refers to her as she, and although she identified as transgender, she's not here to basically describe for herself what she preferred to be.
So at this point, I am going with what the family and how they described her.
But you know, we're also... But why are we taking the family's word for it, right?
Because this person was, I believe, 28 years old.
Right, Aiden is how they last referred to themselves, right?
They were becoming a male, and when they committed the shooting, they identified as a male.
This family... That's right.
...has not seen the manifesto.
Handed it over to the authorities.
Has not seen it.
According to the family, they have not seen the manifesto.
So, when the shooting happened, right, it was a game of walking backwards with landmines, where people were being condemned for using the wrong pronouns.
Now I'm not pulling a gotcha with you.
I'm not pulling a gotcha with you.
So, we're going to go ahead and start. So, we're going to start with the first one. So,
we're going to start with the first one. So, we're going to start with the first one.
So, we're going to start with the first one. So, we're going to start with the first one.
We're talking about this on the news, on all the platforms, just like the other cases.
And you know what they did?
They said, oh, anti-black racism.
That's the only kind of racism, I guess.
Racism against black people is on the rise and we need task forces and we need to kind of send these memos out to all of the DOJ people that we can possibly find to say, hey, be on the lookout for white supremacy.
This thing is on the rise.
Right.
They took steps.
Now, I disagree with what they were doing.
Don't get me wrong.
But they took proactive steps because it was actionable information.
That's the same thing here.
Everybody wants to remain silent.
It's because they didn't get their first guy.
And by the way, the full interview is up on X. And of course, take this opportunity, regardless of whether you join Mug Club or not, just a free program every day in the content.
Rumble, X, Spotify, Apple, wherever you listen to podcasts.
We still do an hour plus for free every single day, and of course there are other shows that go for free.
Nick DiPaolo portion is free, so just don't let them pinch the valve if you're still, you know, YouTube dependent.
Okay, so this kind of brings us to the next portion.
So you have the big tech, okay?
Throttled, banned, outright.
From all of the platforms that exist with the exception of X and Rumble.
And by the way, thank you Rumble.
Yeah.
Couldn't be more happy with the brass set of pendulous balls that they have.
That's what I just have.
I just have the CEO of Rumble, Chris Pavlovsky.
I have him stand on my desk so it does the... Is that a soothing sound?
I'm stressed!
I need the... Those are different things.
Just cup him, cup him.
Don't do that.
So here's the man, Brent Leatherwood.
Now, from what I understand, this person is the parent of someone who was there at Covenant, or of a student at Covenant School, who was not, I don't believe, shot or killed that day.
But I can only, obviously, heart goes out to someone who was involved with that.
It would have to be a horrible experience, I can't even imagine.
So this person, though, is now going out and claiming to represent the parents, the families.
Now, there'd be no way to verify it.
You know who could verify it?
Journalists, but they choose not to certainly not the New York Times.
So this person who is now claiming to be the representative of the families said that the release of the manifesto Was gonna was opening old wounds.
This is the new line of attack unimaginable terror That's how Brent Leatherwood describes the day in March when a shooter entered the Covenant School, killing three kids and three staff members.
His three kids survived the shooting, but his heart aches even more after a conservative talk show host leaked images of the shooter's writings.
Now, the community, the school, families who have already suffered so much were left yet again To deal with this terror.
I don't agree with that.
I just don't.
So, you know what, I understand, but let's let's go through some claims and truth.
I'm not I'm not I'm not saying that he doesn't have a right to be very emotional about this.
Yeah, this is really delicate stuff.
Sure.
You have video of this woman readily available anytime you want, shooting this school up,
shooting through, breaking that window.
I don't...
I don't think I can do it.
Protect our sources with topics that are relevant here as it relates to their security.
That's why you can send your tips to LWCTips at ProtonMail.com.
A lot of them have come in.
Some of the leads we are chasing down right now, the hair in the back of your neck will stand up.
And you know what else?
There are a lot of people out there who they ask you to send in tips and I know you've probably experienced this.
Some folks, they roll over and they give up your name.
That will not happen here.
No.
100%.
And look, do it now.
Like, I don't want these guys to have to relive this any more than is absolutely necessary and forced on them by the police, by the way.
They wouldn't have to be reliving this if the police had just released this manifesto to us when all of this was happening so that we could have an understanding of it, we could move on, we could be done with this.
I want to be done.
I want the entire manifesto out there.
I want it out there now.
I want all of the relevant information to be released Now so that we can take action to prevent this from happening in the future.
And I want these people to be able to go on and live their lives and not have to relive this tragedy again.
But we don't have that right now.
What we have is people getting in the way of that and criticizing anybody who does try to get all of that information out to the public.
Get out of the way, guys.
We have to do this.
We can handle the truth.
We just need it.
I believe it's the National Association of Police that the public had a right to know.
And by the way, this is largely a union supportive organization.
It's not like they're on our side.
We're not the only ones, by the way, who were looking for this.
We're the only ones who actually got it, because we had someone who felt comfortable sending it to us.
Do we have that clip?
We have the Light of Day clip, yeah.
So, keep in mind, claim, let's bring up claim again here, Toolman, just claim, where this, you know, could affect law enforcement's ability to run an ongoing investigation.
The truth, they already determined that there shouldn't be an investigation.
So that being said, do you believe in the authenticity of the pages in those photos, with the knowledge you have?
So in my mind, whether it is direct images, or whether it's something that is inspired by what the shooter thought, wrote, or did that day, all of it is reprehensible, and none of it should see the light of day.
Ah, well there you go.
It's not his choice.
Hey, can I investigate that?
Well, I would let you, but it can't see the light of day.
He's not that authority.
He doesn't have that authority.
It just has to be in that box?
Well, yeah, because if it goes out of the box, you know, light of day, so it stays there.
He also had a message, by the way, for us and you.
You, right now, watching and listening.
He had a challenge for us.
The online shock jock who aired these images, I would challenge him And anyone who amplifies them online, just be a human.
Okay.
First off, that's not really a challenge.
So it was a little broad.
Yeah.
Also, to anyone who has amplified it...
You mean everybody?
And Elon Musk.
By the way, right now we do have some breaking news.
Is this an article?
Hold on, one thing really quickly.
Just one thing before you go to that.
And by the way, there was a poll that was conducted.
I don't know if it was one of these stations that was running it.
Can someone let me know who conducted this poll?
Fox Nashville.
Oh, it was Fox Nashville.
Okay, and they covered this.
So Fox Nashville conducted a poll.
87% of people who answered thought that the manifesto should have been released at the start of the investigation.
87%!
They want you to believe that the 87% of you actually only make up some small 10-5% of the population.
Don't let them gaslight you.
Yeah, Gerald.
It looks like two police officers have been fired, uh, right now over this.
So I'm not sure, like, that's a little long for me to go through all of it.
So guys, give me, give me a condensed version of that.
I need to understand the facts.
Are two police officers being fired today from this?
Let me see that guys.
Alright, you just got word.
Two officers are due to be fired over the release of this page as allegedly the documents were sold by one of... Oh boy.
I don't, uh... I don't know that that is true.
It says they're due to be fired over this, so they haven't been officially fired.
Well, what I do find funny there is, like, I wanted to wait to verify the authenticity because I didn't feel like it represented it accurately, but I'm going to release that two people are due to likely be fired at some point.
Because somebody sold the documents?
This is the problem with... Oh, they're trying to say someone sold the documents?
Pull that back up.
Pull it back up.
I need someone.
Guys, I can't look because I'm looking at my phone.
Allegedly, the documents were sold by one of the officers.
Okay, so here's what I can say.
I don't know where Candace is getting this information.
No one sold us anything.
No.
We did not purchase anything.
And I would tend to say that if they're firing two current police officers for selling documents, they're screwing up.
And they're going to be opening themselves up to liability.
But hey, you know what?
We called ourselves to the mat yesterday and said these are our predictions.
Candace, now obviously I do appreciate her staking her reputation on the line.
And if it turns out that two police officers are fired because they sold these pages to someone else, I can tell you that we never purchased anything.
Then my hat's off to her for staking, because her reputation will be staked on that.
That's a bold claim.
Yeah, so hopefully more information.
Again, this is why more information needs to come out about all of this.
We need to get all this thing out in the public and be done with it and move on with everybody's lives.
But I don't know if anybody's going to be fired or not.
We'll keep our eye out.
Yes, we will keep our eye out.
They want this to exist entirely in darkness.
And remember, as we've told you, and we've run the A-B testing, darkness is not our friend
here.
Alright, and so finally, and you know what, I meant to write a recap down here at the
end just as far as big tech, all of that, so maybe I can kind of help get this on the
map just so we recap everything because I know that there's, it's like drinking from
a fire hose, all the references are available at Lauderwithcrowder.com to people watching.
This brings us finally to, hey, government, the mayor of Nashville, Freddie O'Connell, guess his political persuasion, he now announced So just to, again, banned by the two biggest companies that have ever existed as far as, you know, media in modern history.
Okay.
Banned by them.
And then threatened, of course, by local media.
So we have big tech, then we have media all over the place, New York Times, national media, saying, this is wrong, we don't think this is true.
Then, okay, we verify the authenticity, but this shouldn't have happened anyway.
And now we actually have members of government Attacking the people, attacking the messenger, for a leak that was put in our lap.
So the Nashville mayor, Freddie O'Connell, announced that the city will be launching an investigation into the leak.
He said, I am deeply concerned with the safety, security, and well-being of the Covenant families and all Nashvillians who are grieving.
How does this make them less safe?
What makes people less safe is if you understand a motive And a target, and certainly if you are not conducting an investigation and asking everyone involved with this person, and I would start with their agenda that we posted, then you don't know if it could have been prevented.
Or have at least some idea as to how you might prevent the next one.
And the police stated this regarding to the authenticity of the images, saying that the photographs are not MNPD crime scene images.
Well, no shit.
Of course.
Nobody ever said that they were.
It's like a notebook.
We're not saying you sent them to us from behind the caution tape.
We got the images.
No one is refuting the authenticity.
They're just saying, well, it didn't come from our department.
No one's claiming that you did.
I love that that's the response.
And just remember, this was when these were yet to be confirmed.
And I'm like, huh.
Do you typically investigate things that are not authentic?
I think you just confirmed it to the entire world that these are authentic images.
This was around noon yesterday or so.
Well, and by the way, and he was very nice, the person who I spoke with, we did, we did
try to call to get an official response from the Metro Nashville Police Department.
This is James speaking.
How may I help you?
Hi, James.
This is Stephen Crowder calling.
Is Chief Drake in, please?
He's not available at this time.
Well, this is just regarding a story that your department commented on as it relates to the Nashville Shooters manifesto that was released today.
So, again, that's Stephen Crowder at the number that you have.
Hold on one second.
Let me transfer you over.
Public Affairs Office.
Noelle speaking.
Hi, Noelle.
How are you today?
Doing all right.
You?
I'm doing all right, thanks.
Sorry, I was just transferred to you from James.
I was looking for Chief Drake regarding the Nashville manifesto that was released today.
Your department issued a comment on it, and I'm Stephen Crowder.
I'm the person whose team broke it.
Oh, our department has not issued one yet.
I know that we're working on a statement, but the department here has not.
Hold on one second, okay?
Thank you.
Metro Nashville Police Department is looking to recruit the next class of officers.
Let's join MNPD.com.
Hello.
Hello.
Hey.
Hi.
This is Don Aaron.
Oh, hey Don Aaron.
How are you today?
I'm good.
I was just transferred from James to Noel and I was just put on hold and uh... Okay.
Here you are.
So I'm guessing no one's filled you in?
No.
They just said that you were holding.
Oh, okay, Don.
Well, I'm sorry.
I can see how wires get crossed.
Okay, I have not heard from the Star today, and I don't know if any of my team has heard from the Star.
Well, April on my team did.
Okay.
And I think that was essentially a phone call saying that they had talked to somebody at the General Assembly.
And that was it.
And just to be clear, Don seemed like a very, very nice guy.
This is not at all to say that—this is to say that there might be people interacting with other journalistic outlets
unbeknownst to him.
They don't know what's going on in their own department.
He seemed like a really nice guy.
He was very cooperative.
I just don't want you to think, oh, this guy.
No problem there.
Well, this is because there was an article that we quoted yesterday where the chief said he doesn't know anything about that.
Or basically, the spokesperson for the chief, for Drake, said that.
And we're trying to get some clarification on that.
Right.
So that was the whole setup.
So the only statement now that I guess is official, but I don't believe is coming from someone who would be in charge of issuing a statement like Don, is that the photographs are not MNPD crime scene images.
Well, thanks for the help.
And it seems that these people have already made their minds up.
Again, they made their minds up that you would never see this.
You would never see the truth.
Now that the truth has come out, they have made up their minds that they're not going to address it.
They're going to attack the messenger.
Now, keep in mind, we're talking about this Nashville mayor.
If you want to know, as we led today's show with, why would he not want you to know the truth?
Why would he not want you to know what is in this manifesto?
Why would he not want you to know the motive?
This is what that mayor said the day after the shooting.
Is there any hope that we will get this manifesto?
Because I think the public deserves answers on the why here.
I don't know.
I think that's going to be a choice that's made by police here and potentially other law enforcement and
authorities that are involved. Sure, we want to understand the motive, but I think this is also an
opportunity to look forward to policy, and I'm probably as an individual ready to talk more about
how we prevent these kinds of tragedies, including what the president was talking about yesterday
with regard to renewing the assault weapons ban. No, sure, I would like to know the motive, but
I'm more interested in policy of prevention.
Okay, okay.
Wouldn't the motive determine the policy of prevention?
Right.
In other words, if the motive would be, I just want to have as many guns and shoot as many people as possible because I like guns.
Okay?
Your policy solution would be gun control.
If the motive is, I want to kill white people because of their white privilege and crackers And heteronormative, patriarchous communities.
If that is the motive, you might go, ooh, wait a second, this is being taught everywhere in public schools.
As a matter of fact, I've championed this, so maybe let's put the reins on that a little bit so that we can implement policy based on the motives that we know and the targeting that we know.
Absolutely.
Yeah, but there's also something about what you just said.
If that is a person fighting against, you know, the patriarchy and the entire structure, that's a victim.
That's a revolutionary.
Within the progressive mind, there is something virtuous about a victim.
Even when they pick up a gun and kill children, as you saw in that demonstration where they were holding up seven, there were seven Yeah, exactly.
And there's a whole narrative now going on where when a criminal comes in and has killed people or committed a crime, they are being characterized as victims as well because this is what society, i.e.
America, has done to them.
And so they also deserve compassion.
This is actually what you're fighting.
And if you don't fight it now and speak about it now, it gains a foothold and becomes truth.
I guess 7 victims is quicker to say than 6 victims and 1 act of justice.
And you'll start talking crazy and you'll start saying 2 plus 2 is 16 if you're not careful.
That's what happens now.
Gender spectrum.
That's just accepted.
By the way, I wish I could just edit this show and not do it live, just after the fact, because I just had a word whisker, and I just get to edit all of those out so I sound as though I never misspeak or I never say, uh, or I never flub my words when speaking for two hours.
That's what they do.
That's why a lot of these people now who have podcasts, like all of these celebrities, you go, oh, they're terrible.
When they don't have a whole team of people.
Yeah, look, when they were doing it without writers, Late night?
Oh wow!
Also not that interesting.
No, not that interesting at all.
So let's recap this.
What do we know now?
We here, and I want to be very clear here, this isn't something that I did.
I signed the fronts of the checks, yep, and I wanted to I wanted to keep at least investigative journalism alive that wasn't simply beholden to a non-profit.
There's not a lot of investigative journalism out there.
Of course, you have people like James O'Keefe doing great work, but he can't do all of it.
There needs to be more than just one person.
So, I sign the fronts of checks, and I work with this team of people.
You see me hosting this show every day.
This was their legwork.
This was their legwork.
The Mug Club Undercover Investigative Unit.
They did this.
They've been working.
They've been chasing other leads for a very long time.
Please comment below.
Hit the like button.
Show them your love and support.
I'm proud, not of me, of them.
They broke a story that was buried for seven months.
You've heard of a trail going cold?
This was ice cold.
Then, all of us, meaning everyone here, and you were immediately censored by every single big tech platform that exists, with the exception of X and Rumble.
We were called a criminal organization by YouTube.
We were attacked, misrepresented by local and national media, even going so far as to edit up interviews, take them out of context, to make it seem as though I said something different from what I actually said.
You now have those clips and their full context available.
We were attacked by a spokesperson at Covenant.
He contradicted himself multiple times, asked for money, then the mayor of Nashville is launching an investigation, but no one, since noon central yesterday, has even attempted to refute the authenticity of these leaks.
They're attacking the leaks because they're real.
And the real leaks are available because you wanted them.
And because you support us and what we do here.
Look, we've had a... I ask if nothing else... Hey, we told you.
We have these pages from the manifesto.
We're going to release them.
And we did it.
Our word is our bond.
Just like when we tell you we will protect our sources with our livelihoods.
Thank you.
Expect more of this to take place.
I just don't think it'll be all that different.
New York Times, Washington Post.
It's the same old crap.
And expect them to do it to you in your life.
No matter what.
No matter what situation it may be.
It could be a small instance of truth needing to be told in your office.
But HR doesn't want to deal with it.
It could be something on your own social media page.
It could be something in your department.
Expect this to happen when you speak truth.
It will be about attacking the messenger if it is an opinion that has been deemed impermissible.
And all of this, you need to, just like COVID, just like the elections, right after the shooting, it was, we have no idea, no idea the motive, Then they switched to, it's just a crazy person, tried to get the gender pronouns right.
We really don't know.
Oh wait, we're launching an investigation, which they were not.
It was just like COVID, it was an agreed-upon lie.
It was an agreed-upon lie.
And if one person says, I don't agree with that lie, I will not go along with that lie, they will destroy you and anyone around you.
So we appreciate it.
If you think we've done some handiwork, you can consider joining Mug Club.
We're going to continue taking your chats.
If not, Rumble, Spotify, wherever you want to watch it for free.
And at some point, we ask that you support us.
You can click the button right there to join Mug Club and join in on the chat right now.
Brian Callen's going to be at Good Nights.
