Time Text
Jannikon, oh, how I love Jannikon so much That's an interesting twist. Hmm.
Spank! Do something intelligent!
Thank you.
Hi, I'm Josh Feierstein from Louder The Crowder, and today I'm here to talk to you about Clear Nasal Spray.
This stuff is great.
It works for anything.
Nasal decongestion, an everyday healthy lifestyle, and pretty much anything you can think of, Clear can help with that.
Clear can help with that!
What the hell was that?
What the hell was that?
Carol, why are you crying?
God, Carol.
Clear can help with that.
I'm not crying, man.
It's just allergies.
It just happens this time of year, OK?
Sure, sure.
Well, Clear can help with that, too.
OK.
Oh, hi.
Here.
Clear can help with that.
Ow!
Well, if you're going to be ungrateful, I'll just take my bottle of Clear back and go on my way.
You're a nerve of people these days.
Clear helps with most things, not including loss of limb, extreme hemorrhaging, broken bones,
sucking chest wounds, pancreatitis, bee stings, box jellyfish stings, any other kind of stings,
erectile dysfunction, uromycitis poisoning, brain aneurysm, or AIDS.
ah so
so so
is that how they taste uh wine No.
Good try though.
I'm a little salty.
Not at you.
I'm not crossing.
You know what?
I'm going to give you the rundown and then I'm going to let Gerald have the floor because he feels very passionately about this.
Today we're going to be discussing, okay, this week in Biden, we are going to be discussing the, we're going to be discussing the ICC.
This is in the news.
It's basically an international committee to try and violate international law and they have no teeth.
It's very silly.
They do nothing, but.
It's all for show.
This president, if he had his way, would give them effectively unfettered power.
So you always have to keep these kind of, you know, keep them in your peripheral vision.
And we're going to be talking about a clip that's been getting some steam on the Joe Rogan Show.
It was Nick DiStefano.
Do I have that right, Josh?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Comedian, funny guy.
He was talking about Jesus and I believe the case for Christ.
And, you know, obviously he's newer to the party, makes some points, and unfortunately I think some of them were lost in translation.
It's gaining some momentum now.
It's a few, I think it's two weeks old, but it covers some topics that we've broached here quite a few times.
And, you know, I talked with Mr. Rogan about Jesus a long time ago.
So it's interesting to see him coming along.
So when we talk about Jesus the way we talk about Jesus on the show, at some point you may see this on YouTube.
So head over to Rumble.
It won't be Blasphemy.
It's mostly The Resurrection.
Yes.
Oh, there we go.
I got a strike.
They're not big fans of it.
I don't even know what that is.
That doesn't make any sense.
Also, I have to let you know that it's going to be two weeks of super videos before Cultural Appropriation Month next month.
It's going to be two weeks this month, the last two weeks of June.
And I'll explain to you why.
Because the first two weeks of June, we have talking with people on the street, kind of like changed my mind about the election.
Very interesting.
And we have some long form interviews with General Flynn, Ash Wednesdays.
So we have the great Dictator Dickoff.
Oh, really?
Coming up soon, so it's going to be a busy couple of weeks.
Kevin Morgan, number two CEO.
Before we get to anything else, what is it that has your goat?
I made a very reasonable statement on Twitter.
So there was a teacher, and I don't know any of the details, and I said that.
I was like, look, this just sounds weird, but a 33-year-old teacher slept with a senior boy, which I'm assuming is a 17 or 18-year-old kid, right?
And got 13 years in prison.
And they slept together like 20 times.
And I was like, okay.
No, Gerald, that's not a real story.
You were reading penthouse letters.
No, no, no, I was not.
And I was like, I just, I was a bit, I was a bit floored by it.
13 years is quite excessive.
13 years of your life is, yes, exactly, for something that that kid had 20 smiles on his face for.
And now listen, the first one, shame on you.
Right.
The 19th, 20th, it's, thank you.
You send a gift, you send them Sherry's Berries.
Exactly.
And then people are like, oh, it's the power dynamic or reverse the gender.
No, no, none of that is true.
Like, I understand those dynamics.
And yes, this is morally wrong to me.
Of course.
But to lose 13 years of your life, I'm like, hey, that just sounds a bit much to me.
Like, anybody, what do you guys think?
And it's funny, I'm pissing off all the right people, and you know exactly who I'm talking to right now.
I'm right here, Gerald.
And people who, you know, act conservative.
Didn't go well for you last time you challenged me, bro, so don't come at me again.
Whoa!
But what I'm saying is, everybody else— Gerald McGregor over here, dude.
I'm sorry, I'm just like, this is not the most insane viewpoint to have to go, ooh, 13 years of your life for something that this 17 year old boy who is effectively a man wanted.
Unless of course, and I said this now, if she truly did rape him, then throw the book at her.
I'm fine with that.
Yeah, 20 times, considering the hydraulics that are necessary, doesn't seem like forcible rape.
Is it wrong?
Sure.
Just to be clear, it's wrong just like Hitler is bad.
We all understand that.
Hitler, bad.
Sleeping with your male student, bad.
But 13, it's not the same.
It's because, guys, comment.
Have you been a 17 year old boy?
Do you remember what that was like?
That doesn't mean that you have the moral compass developed yet.
Agreed.
But 13 years seems quite excessive.
It does seem excessive.
Also, is she attractive?
I didn't think so.
Is she possibly attractive?
Yes.
Yes.
Not guilty.
Yes.
She is.
Now look, I get it.
Again, wrong.
I get all that stuff.
But just to have this conversation, I'm like, you've got to be kidding me.
And people are like, just trying to come out and trot out like, I'm a solid Christian.
I can't believe you, Gerald.
I can't believe you'd double down.
Well, I'm going to triple and quadruple down on this.
We'll talk about it more on Friday.
I'll give some of the details.
You just don't believe in the 13 years.
No, I don't.
Should she be fired?
Yes, of course.
Should she ever be able to teach again?
No.
Should there be some kind of penalty?
Yes, absolutely.
I just don't think it's 13 years of your life.
Yeah.
That's all I'm saying.
Yeah.
I mean, really, you could argue that he lost 17 years of his life because it didn't start until he met her.
Jeez.
And I want to know if, like, parents were involved.
Typically, that's what happens in these cases.
Parents get all pissed off and high and mighty.
My 17-year-old boy!
Your 17-year-old boy would sleep with a lug wrench if it could work, alright?
I don't want to hear it.
I think there are ways to make it work.
Trust me, you get mighty creative.
At least you did pre-internet era.
That's all the deep socket stuff.
It's real, it's real.
You just need an adjustable set.
That kid was learning her deep sockets, that's for sure.
Oh, come on now.
Guys, guys.
Oh wow, come on, shallow socket probably.
I got that out of my system a little.
Everyone, everyone, we're not better than this.
No, I understand too.
Look, people say reverse the roles.
Okay.
There's a legitimate time to reverse roles, right, as an argument.
In this case, for example, you don't hear me talk a lot or spend a lot of time on the fact that women commit domestic abuse at a higher rate, physical abuse, than men do.
Significantly.
You'll hear me talk about the fact that they do that with children, single mother households, far more likely for the child to experience physical abuse than in single father households.
But as far as a woman hitting a guy, the reason I don't spend as much time on it, even though, of course, it is illegal and it's just as wrong, let's be honest, that's not what you fear as a man in a relationship.
It's kind of funny when it actually does happen.
What you fear is the abuse of the courts.
What you fear is the social shaming, is the manipulating, is turning... Guys aren't afraid of their wife swatting them, so I'd rather focus on the issue at hand that actually matters.
Sure, the role's reversed, but in that case, it's not an apples-to-apples comparison.
The same thing here.
With an older teacher and a younger girl, first off, they're just — you can't know.
You honestly can't know.
Just because of the biology, you can't know if this was consensual.
I get the argument that if the person is 17, they legally can't consent.
Depends on the state.
But you can't know with a young girl.
With a young boy, 20 times, you know, physically, it would have to be emphatically consensual
If she drugged him, different.
But let's just be honest.
Guys, come on.
Everyone out there knows.
You know how the Tinker Toys work.
In third chair today, you know him, you love him.
When you hear this, it means you can also go watch his comedy special on Mug Club.
Like that segway, how I got out of it.
Josh Feierstein.
Hey, I'm doing good.
Hey, how is your English teacher from high school doing, Gerald?
Do you still talk to her?
I think she's fine.
Has like a 6'4", blonde hair, blue eyed kid.
Yeah.
I'm not sure where that came from.
Well, I guess she had high standards.
I had no hot teachers.
None.
I had like all like older, nasty.
I had one.
Really?
Yeah.
She was exactly who I was picturing, by the way, at that story.
Now, does it mean that I was equipped?
No.
Of course not, but you're a boy.
But if I found myself in a situation where she was like, hey, Steven, yes.
Exactly.
Which is why that's different from a girl.
Girls at 17 are not sitting around thinking like, I just want any guy to sleep with.
Boys are sitting around like, please, somebody say yes!
Yes, exactly.
Help me!
Exactly.
And you need to curb that, and you need to control your sexual impulses.
All those things are true.
13 years, a little bit excessive.
All right.
Speaking of rapists, Klaus Schwab just announced that he's stepping down from his executive position with the World Economic Forum.
In 2025, he's going to be stepping down.
So this was announced this morning.
Would a position open up in hell?
Yes, exactly.
I think the email came with a scratch and sniff.
It's sulfur.
It's sulfur.
And we, just so you know, we've done a whole breakdown on Schwab a while ago, and the WEF, so if you want to learn about that a little bit more, actually, I don't know, do we have this clip?
Yeah, Matt's playing it.
I'll run it.
Okay, so we just wanted to use this opportunity to direct you to the WEF and how they affect your everyday life, and we'll put the link in the description down there.
If you do want to take some time, peruse it, educate yourself, here's a brief clip.
By the way, also, I think we should have a moratorium on any Germans in authority having global opinions on anything.
Maybe a little.
You guys, you know, World War's under your belt?
All of them.
All of them.
Yeah.
Are bad.
So Klaus Schwab, instead of shutting up, took the time to remind us as to who's really in charge.
Let's also be clear.
The future is not just happening.
That's just a scary voice.
The future is built by us.
By a powerful community as you here in this room.
And we've been expecting, Mr. Bond?
We have the means to improve the states of the world.
You have laser shocks.
But two conditions.
All right.
I don't like watching myself in old clips because I can't tell if you guys are talking, if you're talking now or you're talking then.
Yeah, it's been about confusing.
Yeah.
It's weird.
Not a big fan of Klaus Schwab.
No, you shouldn't be.
Or W.E.F.
He really does sound like a villain.
He just can't help himself.
I prefer Les Schwab myself.
Yeah.
I'm a tire man.
I prefer Charles.
Oh.
I have no idea.
I don't know anything about banking.
So!
It's investing.
Yeah.
What?
Charles Wall.
Oh, I'm sorry.
That's your, that's your forte.
Sorry.
Is investing and sex with students.
I think you'd lock in your losses.
We all have our thing.
It's good that you found your niche.
His niece or his niece?
We're not talking about Hunter Biden.
Isn't that crazy that he was sexting his niece and no one really talks about it?
Of course it is!
I mean, it would only be irrelevant if his father wasn't also showering with his daughter.
That's how it is in their family.
Let's go to this really quickly.
This is Making the Rounds, and I just think it crystallizes entitlement, which is honestly perhaps the biggest problem we have in our country.
If you think about it, what soils the country or what corrodes the country?
Entitlement.
People thinking that they are entitled.
Insert whatever it is here.
A degree that they haven't earned.
A job that they haven't earned.
A spot that they haven't earned.
Entitlement allows people to come in and whisk you away on the wings of equity.
Right?
That's what happens.
Equity.
It's not equality.
It's equity.
The same thing you see with relationships.
You see this a lot where people think that they're entitled to a perfect relationship.
They are entitled to the perfect man.
They are entitled to the perfect woman.
They're entitled to the perfect children, even though they don't put in the effort of parenting.
They're entitled to the perfect body.
That's what we used to be, but now they're entitled to claim that they have a perfect body, even though they have a blood type of pudding.
Everything is guaranteed to everyone all the time.
And it appears as though that even extends to obese, belligerent women in exit rows.
Who refuse to take part in the exit row protocol.
Have I set this up clearly?
I hope so.
This was a flight, I believe, out of North Carolina.
It had to be entirely de-planed because there was a passenger who, and this is, the video starts after this, but according to passengers on the plane, many passengers, and quite a few began filming, the woman in question that you will see in the exit row refused to help when asked Hey, will you help in the situation of an emergency?
She said, oh, I'm not going to save anybody.
If something happens, I'm going to save myself.
Now, I don't know if you know this, the FAA regulations actually demand that exit row passengers verbally answer yes.
Yeah.
That they can perform exit rope functions.
And they must do it in English.
Yes.
Which seems... They have to do it in English.
A nod doesn't work.
Uh-huh, doesn't work.
They say, I need a yes or no, sir, ma'am, or zee.
So, she said, no, I'm going to save myself, and then people began rolling the cameras.
Watch the entitlement ensue.
What is the problem?
Because she don't want to tell us her name.
What's the problem?
What's the problem?
We ain't got no problem with that.
We understand we got to help people get off the plane and help Betty White do something about it.
What's the problem?
We agree.
Did you ask her to agree?
You ain't doing your job.
So, pause.
Did you ask her?
Remember, if any of you haven't read Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, and by the way, you can also find this in the Bible, worry about yourself.
You can't control everybody else.
Also, I guarantee that she asked the other lady to agree.
It's not a race thing, I'm willing to bet.
The other lady, black, white, yellow, precious in his sight, I have no idea the race of the other lady.
She probably answered, yes.
You know they found a black guy to ask her nicely.
Yeah.
They're like, Jerome, we got another one.
Frontier spirit!
Frontier.
Look at him.
You know they found a black guy to ask her nicely.
Yeah.
I'm talking about a church because we didn't do anything wrong.
They asked us to do a free...
They're like, Jerome, we got another one.
Frontier spirit.
Frontier.
But we'll talk about it outside.
Look at him.
He's a mother f***ing hard-on.
Look at him.
He's a dumbass.
I love that everybody else is calling her out, but right away it's the victim mindset,
Did you ask her?
Betty White.
Hey, what if the white lady said, will Shaniqua here help?
Which by the way would be lazy and hack.
My point is, so was her comment.
What would happen at that point?
You would have that person probably drafted up for hate crimes.
Absolutely.
Look, I think it's kind of funny in the beginning.
Like, of course not.
I'm saving myself.
And I'm like, okay, that's, that's fine.
But then you follow it up with, yeah, yeah, no, I'll help people and get off the plane.
Look, if you want the extra leg room, you have to potentially die on the airplane.
I think that's reasonable.
That is the deal you make.
You can see the entitlement, too, with her own words, how she would rather say, oh, you ain't doing your job.
She'd rather have someone get fired and lose their job than to just go, oh yeah, you know what?
I'm sorry.
Yes.
Right.
Yes.
I'm sorry, can we please be done with this?
I'm so sorry.
The thing is, you can't be done with it at that point.
Because you have already said, no I won't, alright?
She could have gone to another seat at that point.
They can't allow you to sit in the exit row.
By the way, this could also be solved by not allowing people in the exit row who clearly, no matter how they answer, could not perform the exit row functions.
How'd you like to walk up to that wing in an emergency and see that broad there in charge of your safety?
Can you drag me off the plane?
Nope.
I think the exit row seats should require a push-up and pull-up qualification.
Really?
I'm just saying.
What?
They're just sitting at the gate doing it.
Nope, he's not qualified.
Next!
You don't get to say like, I got a bomb.
I'm just kidding.
No, you said it.
You're off.
You now leave.
I don't understand why people have that entitlement on airplanes.
This is one of those places where you have seen what people do.
There is no grace on this.
You don't mess around on an airplane because people's lives are at stake.
People are already nervous a lot of times when they fly.
I'm not.
I've flown a lot.
You probably not.
But a lot of people, no matter how many times they fly, they get nervous.
So don't screw around.
Just say yes and move on.
This is their environment.
They control it.
Why do you have to be like, no, I'm not going to do it.
Get out of my face.
Where do you think you are?
Yeah.
You think you're at a Chili's?
She literally said that, Gerald.
She goes, what do you think this is?
Yeah.
And I think they were dumbfounded.
They're like, shoot, I don't know.
I think it's an airline where... I'm doing my job.
I think this is the exit route.
Yeah, this is the exit route.
We mentioned that, actually.
We mentioned earlier, right?
Yeah, and you refused to help, and so we're kindly asking you to switch seats, but instead we have to deboard this whole plane because you are an entitled wench.
Yeah, it's not a golden corral.
I see it all the time when I fly, too.
It's always, like, one person annoyed because a flight attendant's like, Sir!
Headphones!
Headphones!
Can I get a verbal confirmation?
Right, yeah.
Every time.
There's no way they miss somebody.
Also, you're not supposed to have headphones because you're supposed to turn off all electronic devices.
If you don't, that's how 9-11 happened.
So!
I don't think that's... That's what it is.
That's not true.
United Airlines is responsible.
It was a few Arabs playing Billy Joel.
That reminds me.
I flew Qatar Air.
They didn't ask me about the exit row at all.
You know, basically, the affirmation is, Allah hu akbar, and you're like, okay, that's fine.
They have slaves under the floorboard.
They pop out and open the door and pop back in.
Yeah.
Go down with the plane.
Only the pilots have parachutes.
Odd.
Weird.
It just goes to show you, you don't always get what you want in life.
As we have learned at our great expense, experimenting with our new AI software in the office, Morning chat GBT.
How are you today?
I don't remember asking you a goddamn thing!
And we spent so much money and the promises were never delivered upon.
It's almost as though it's the opposite of helpful.
We shouldn't have done belligerent Samuel L. Jackson.
We should have done something a little nicer.
We should have read the pamphlet.
And by the way... It was your idea too.
I know, I know.
Speaking of something that is helpful, look, this is one of those, I just want to take a second because we don't do a lot of sponsors on this show.
Clear, you'll notice, they don't sponsor a lot of other shows.
That's because I reached out to them.
This is something that I've used for years.
You can go to clear.com, spelled with an X, xclear.com, xlear.com.
Use the promo code LWC20, you get 20% off of your first purchase.
They also sell spry gum.
It uses xylitol.
You can read the science on their website.
I will tell you this, I've been using it for a long time when I would get colds.
Yeah.
I didn't want to use medicated nasal decongestant.
I used to use it all the time.
I don't use it anymore.
I also haven't taken, this is completely anecdotal, allergy medication now, really, in years.
Yeah.
Yeah.
If it gets really bad, but I used to have to take a daily allergy pill, just spraying my nose twice with this, the science there shows you that it does work.
Anecdotally, it's changed my life.
So, I reached out to them.
Definitely super helpful.
I use it every day, twice a day now.
I always do take an allergy pill, but I still get a few big bouts of really, really bad allergies for at least a weekend or two or three days, but I haven't had that yet.
Right.
This year.
So again, anecdotal, but I love this stuff and it's super inexpensive.
I'm like, yes, please.
I'll do it.
Well, the reason I look, I'm just taking a second to talk about it because on Instagram and on TikTok, people sell you shit.
Oh, yeah.
That that has not been tested.
And by the way, what is on the label is not even what is in the bottle.
These people have been around for a long time.
They've done it honestly.
They've paid for the scientific research.
And they're actually facing a lawsuit over making claims that are legitimate as it relates to scientific research.
Go watch our episode where we did the interview and talk about COVID.
It'll piss you off.
Yep.
It will.
It will.
All right.
It's time for... Look, you guys all know what's going on here with the misspeaks.
This week in Biden.
If you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't black.
My administration is working around the clock to free the remaining hostages, just as we have freed hostages already.
And here with us today is Hersh Goldberg-Poland.
He is not here with us, but he's still being held by Hamas.
He calls!
The erectionists who stormed Capitol Hill, patriots.
Let me ask you, what do you think he would have done on January 6th if black Americans had stormed the Capitol?
We already have a nigger mayor.
We don't need any more nigger big shots.
And when I was vice president, things were kind of bad during the pandemic.
And what happened was, Barack said to me, go to Detroit and he'll fix it.
Well, poor Mayor, he spent more time with me than he ever thought he was going to have to.
I walked the picket line with union workers here in Michigan.
At the same time, Trump went to a non-union stop.
Let me ask you, if he's re-elected, who do you think he'll put on the Supreme Court?
You think he'll put anybody who has a brain?
If you have a problem figuring out whether you're for me or Trump, then you ain't black.
Couple of things.
First off, I did not appreciate that his signer kept signing, hey, hey, hey.
It was a little thrown by the erectionists.
She's like, I'm not sure how to do that one.
It's one of these...
Yeah.
So all in all, the White House had to make nine corrections?
Jeez.
Wow.
Speech.
Like an eight-minute speech.
Wow.
You know what would help with that?
Some clear.
Yes, it would.
It would.
Make them speak better.
It helps with dementia, allegedly.
Now, all politicians are liars, to some degree, right?
Or they're embellishers, or they exaggerate.
I've said this, Donald Trump embellishes.
Something that was, I don't know, a very successful campaign is, the best campaign that's ever happened.
Paul Revere one time said, Trump is coming because people predict it.
Like he will just embellish it.
What?
And it's mixed with jokes.
Joe Biden, and I talked about this on stage, I want to say it's back in 2010 when he was actually vice president.
Look, when you watch that, it's not just a misspeak.
If he said, hey, I was vice president during COVID and then went on with some, you know, historically accurate facts like we had the mRNA injection rollout, you know, we got past lockdown, whatever it is, we had to deal with inflation.
He'd sell you some BS, but you'd say, okay, he accidentally said vice president.
The reason that he said, as Vice President, Barack sent me to Detroit, and we are now about three, four, five lies in, because this is a man, his entire life, you have to remember, in 1988, he had to drop out!
Of the national election, running for president for plagiarism and claiming he was valedictorian when he was in bottom two of his class!
This man isn't a bullshit artist.
He makes up stories that have never happened with people he's never met.
In places that don't even exist, the only way you get that far down the compulsive lying trail is because your entire life suckling at the government teat.
He has not seen a private sector job.
Not one person around him said, huh?
That's why.
It's not a misspeak.
It happens all the time.
I do it all the time.
Of course Donald Trump does it all the time.
You speak for a living, you'll have word whiskers.
Yes, of course.
You'll have flubs.
You don't tell a story.
You don't weave a tapestry of lies that goes on for three or four minutes.
None of which is true!
He is a compulsive liar.
And I mean it in a way that is clinical.
Have you ever known a compulsive liar?
Have you?
Please, comment below.
I knew one kid.
I had one kid in my... and by the way, he was a nice guy.
He was a nice guy.
He was a compulsive liar.
He told me he had a glass bottom boat.
And you believed him?
We didn't even live near a lake.
Yeah, but that's a great comparison because that was a kid, that was a child.
Yes!
They're supposed to, not supposed, but that's what they do.
That's like a characteristic of a kid.
Right.
They make stuff up, they have an imagination.
This guy's 87,000 years old.
I don't know how old he is.
That's an exaggeration.
Not a lie, but an exaggeration.
That's acceptable.
Not acceptable is saying, Joe Biden is 104 years old, and I know because I visited him at the old folks home, and he showed me his birth certificate, and me and the nurse had a really good laugh before I had sex with her.
You're like, whoa, hold on a second.
This sounds to me like you're telling tall tales.
When he said, I walked a picket line, I thought he was going to go, oh yeah, I thought he was going to mention when he was against integration.
Yes, exactly.
Well, he doesn't want to raise his kids in a racial jungle.
Of course.
Not my words, not your words.
All right.
And by the way, none of this happens without your support.
LoudHouseCreditor.com slash MugClub.
It's Military Appreciation Month that is going on for the rest of the month.
10% of all proceeds for every MugClub membership goes to military charities.
Use the promo code military, you get $10 off And it helps us gear up for this election season, which boy, boy, is it looking bad.
Oh yeah.
For Joseph Robinette Biden.
But it needs to continue to look bad.
Yes.
It needs to stay that way.
These things move quickly.
Keep your, uh, your, uh, your foot on the gas.
Now this, this comedian, I want to make sure I'm deroging.
Is it, is it Nick or is it Chris?
I mean, it says Chris.
His last name is DeStefano.
Okay, it's Chris DeStefano.
Chris DeStefano.
Funny guy.
And just because none of this is a criticism.
Oh, it's called Chrissy D. You don't.
He does.
None of this is a criticism here, but we've talked about the historical accounts of Jesus quite a bit on the show, and if you're not a Mug Club member, often Gerald Captain Morgan here will do Apologetics episodes.
And DeStefano was on Joe Rogan, and he was discussing, clearly, a book that he had recently read, The Case for Christ, by Lee Strobel.
Interesting book.
I wouldn't say it's the strongest book out there in making the historical case for Christ, but it's not a bad place to start.
Joe Rogan has evolved a little bit, it seems, in his views on Jesus Christ, and it's one of those things where we're not all going to agree.
But truth is not subjective.
And so you need to start with a historical case, the historical accounts case.
Is there some common ground truth on which we can agree?
Historically, meaning up until I would say the 1980s or 90s, people agreed on the historical figure of Jesus Christ, just a lot of people didn't agree on the divinity.
All right, this is discussed with Joe Rogan, and some points are made.
We just wanted to spend a little bit more time on this.
Let me know if you've seen this below, because a lot of people are sounding off in the comments, and unfortunately it then lends itself to fake news.
Then there are jump cuts that are being uploaded to Instagram and TikTok.
And they're addressing claims that weren't even made, so the references are available, link in the description, and we want to hopefully help clarify.
It really gets my goat is the fake news out there now.
It's gotten so bad so quickly.
Here, we'll go through this point by point.
Here is DeStefano actually using the historical comparison, which we have on this show, to Alexander the Great.
So, like, if I told you, if I said to you, Joe, you believe everything you've heard about Alexander the Great, right?
You believe it.
You believe that, you know, he's fought in these battles.
What they say that you just believe it's Alexander the Great.
I'll read his biography.
You'd say, yeah, sure.
But then you'd be like, oh, but I know I don't believe they made it up about Jesus.
OK, Alexander the Great, because what you'll always hear is, well, the Gospels were written 100 plus years after Jesus died.
Alexander the Great's first biography was written like 300 years after he died.
There's some people who say it like that.
Yeah, somewhere my wife is going, ugh.
Is that an accent thing?
She hates that.
I hate it too.
Jesus?
It's Jesus.
Why do people say that?
I don't know.
Maybe if they learn it from the song.
Jesus loves me.
It's Jesus.
Yes, I know.
You can say it correctly, even in the song.
I think he's not saying it incorrectly.
It's just a different way of saying it.
It's the wrong point to focus on, I'll say it.
Sorry, sorry, sorry.
But this is something, too, that you've talked about quite a bit, that a lot of people say, oh, I don't agree on the historical accounts that Jesus is a historical figure.
Yeah.
Alexander the Great is a good comparison because there's no one refuting the idea that he existed, but there are far more historical accounts and closer to the time of Jesus than Alexander the Yeah, and so we've actually got a chart here.
Just quickly, most people don't understand like what you're saying.
So pull that chart up really quickly.
So this just gives you an idea.
I've had this thing for, I think, like 15 years.
Let's just use Caesar, right?
So this is talking about when these things were written about Caesar, 144 BC, right?
But the earliest actual copy that we have of those writings is from 900 AD.
That's a thousand year gap between when these documents were written and the earliest copy that we even have.
And we only have 10 of them to be able to look and cross-reference and go, is this person telling the story correctly?
If you look at that chart and go down this list, you would just assume like, oh, Caesar, we have a bunch of stuff that's within like 10 years of when Caesar was around.
No, we have something from 1000 years after it was written.
That's a really, really big deal.
Go down to the New Testament we're talking about here.
Those things were written between A.D.
50 and 100.
People that were actually around at the time of Christ were writing those books and people were referenced in those books as saying, and some of you were around and saw Jesus as well.
So it was referring to people there.
We have earliest copies from A.D.
125.
That's a 25 year gap.
Between the earliest copies that we have and when the books were written, and we have over 24,000 copies so that you can make sure what you're reading is accurate.
So if you're going to accept a thousand year gap and 10 copies to make sure that we know what Caesar was all about, you have to then go, well, that makes sense.
Then I would accept that the New Testament that we have today is what was written.
Right.
This is what they actually said.
So that just makes the point very clearly that most people don't realize that those gaps exist for other historical figures they take for granted.
Also, by the way, what ends up happening often is we find new artifacts, we find new historical documents.
Exactly.
There's a lot of stuff that you can find to confirm archaeological evidence, to confirm a lot of this stuff as well.
And I talked with Joe Rogan a long time ago, and I wasn't planning on it when I was on his show, I believe in 2015, he kind of decided to veer the conversation towards Jesus.
And back then he was not, I would say, as receptive to the idea.
I believe he referred to him as a fictional character or imaginary friend or something like that, which was fine.
Okay, funny.
We disagreed.
But I didn't point to Alexander the Great.
You can go and watch it.
A really, really important example is King David in the Bible, because that was a huge argument for people against the historical account.
They didn't think the Davidic kingdom existed.
They didn't think that it existed.
Because there was no evidence.
And I discussed that with Joe Rogan to give you some reference here at 2015.
Is there a possibility of a miracle?
Which you require for the Big Bang, and I require for someone to return from the dead.
I don't necessarily think I require a miracle for the Big Bang.
I think there's missing science.
I think that there's... Look, first of all... And there's missing evidence from the... You know, a good example, right?
This argument you're using right now.
Okay.
I'm not a theologian.
I'm not an anthropologist.
What argument?
But an argument that was used for a long time is kind of what you're saying.
There's no proof of this.
Well, for the longest time, people said, because David was this huge, influential, historical figure, right?
And they're going, well, David, up until 1993, they're going, this is a guy, this giant kingdom, right?
This is the guy.
There should be some historical evidence.
And there's none.
Until 1993, boom, more evidence than you could possibly imagine on David, his name on Marblestone.
Here is David.
Here is his kingdom.
As a historical figure, now nobody denies that he existed.
And the point that we're going to discuss is that, you know, an absence of evidence is not necessarily evidence of absence at that point in time.
Now, you can't use it as an argument.
In other words, you can't say, well, it could happen, but you can point to previous examples, as with David, and say, we thought this for a long time, and then the argument shifts.
And they go, yeah, well, what about, and they'll insert a new argument here.
That was kind of fundamental, For people who denied the historical accuracy or corroboration of the Bible because of how big of an impact someone like David would have had.
Yeah, absolutely.
I mean, you would think that there would be some evidence of his kingdom if it was that influential and it was that big and it was that, you know, impressive and all that stuff.
And it just turns out we hadn't found it yet.
So that's a really good point.
Sometimes you just haven't found the evidence for this yet.
Now, you can't use that and be like, well, you just never found the evidence.
You know, like for something, and just say that it exists, but we did find the evidence for it.
We did have historical writings.
The Bible is a historical book as well, so it doesn't just get completely disregarded because maybe you're not a Christian.
But let me just say this without diving into this.
You are 100% correct.
He does rely on a miracle for the Big Bang.
I know that's going to piss a lot of people off, and they're going to be like, oh my gosh, we're going to talk about that?
No, we're not going to go down that road.
But I'm just saying, it's not like, well, I'm just waiting on further science.
Okay, well, then I'm waiting on further evidence.
You can make that argument on both sides.
No, you're depending on a miracle just like I'm depending on a miracle.
Let's just talk about the miracles.
Right.
Right?
I think it was a really good point that he tried to skirt past.
Well, I think, yeah, that's a good point that you're making.
Well, there's an absence of the science right now.
We're waiting on it.
You're waiting on some more historical evidence.
Yeah.
That's effectively where you are.
And we want to get to the point here where they discuss something very common, where you often find yourself at this impasse, okay, if you accept Jesus Christ as a historical figure, okay, you accept these accounts, you acknowledge that there's stronger corroboration of the accounts, I should say, of Jesus Christ, but then you say, I don't believe in the resurrection.
That's where we're going to get to here.
But first, let's go through this point by point.
DeStefano, I believe in the next clip, is talking about the Gospels and the timeline.
He's close to there, but again, this is not someone who's a theologian.
I really do appreciate him making the effort.
Yes, the Gospels were 70 years later, but they were based off the accounts of people
who were living at that time and up to like 25 years after it.
And they say, oh, well, game of telephone.
I can tell you something goes around the room.
Telephone.
By the time it gets to me, you know, 10 people, what you just said is irrelevant.
It's a totally different thing.
I get it.
But what they said is, because of that ancient thing of, you know, kind of having to pass down these Old Testaments because they couldn't write, it would be like if you're playing a game of telephone, but every person, I check with the person before to make sure the word I'm saying is right.
I agree with what he's saying, but I think he's saying it in a way that is unnecessary.
Because you're saying, oh, the game of telephone, you can't know exactly what they were saying.
And he's talking specifically about Jesus and the New Testament.
We don't have to depend on that.
You're talking about people who were there that wrote it.
That's who we're talking about.
We're not talking about people who are like, hey, I was never a part of any of this.
I was never even around anybody who was there.
I didn't hear the stories even secondhand, even though I wasn't there.
It was like, well, no, I was there.
I saw this.
I did this.
Jesus said this.
Jesus did that.
Right.
Like those are the kinds of records that really we have for the New Testament.
So I thought his point was a little like off the mark there for it, but I understand what he's saying.
It's a culture that is built on passing down history orally.
Right?
And so that culture is obviously going to be different than ours, which is built on passing history down in written form, right?
In video form.
We don't have to be able to remember.
If it was a game of telephone, the Bible would be really dirty.
Because telephone always ends up dirty.
It does.
In my experience.
That's how a 33-year-old teacher ends up sleeping with a 17-year-old boy.
It just happens.
Game of telephone.
No, that's the game of sending pictures of my boobs with my telephone.
Yes, a different game of telephone.
It's really not, really it's your hand computer, it's not really a telephone at this point
in time.
It's just an app on it.
Yes, it is.
Here is Joe Rogan trying to make the point that this could actually just be seen as confirmation
bias.
That's a little bit of confirmation bias because the real problem is like who said it originally.
And who decided what the words were originally?
Okay, that, I get that, which is true, but just for Jesus, this book was saying that the reason why they believe the historical accuracy of it is because basically his haters and the disciples were both saying the same thing.
Right, so that's called enemy attestation.
Typically if you're, like, for example, if you wanted to act like I didn't exist, Stephen, like you killed me, and then you came on the show one day and was like, I'm just not here.
You wouldn't say, Gerald's no longer with us.
You would just act like nothing happened.
And then when somebody's like, hey, where did Gerald go?
You'd be like, Gerald who?
Yes.
Like he doesn't exist.
So enemy attestation is basically saying like the Romans were the enemies of Jesus because he started things that messed up their kingdom, right?
They were causing trouble specifically to Pilate and his rule there.
Basically a revolt.
Yeah, exactly.
Basically a revolt.
Usurper.
And the Romans would have had a vested interest in saying, yes, Jesus, what?
Jesus who?
Or, trotting out the body, right?
They could say, Jesus, we have no idea who he is.
Or, okay, all right, sure.
Well, we crucified Jesus.
Look, he's dead.
This is your God.
They didn't do that.
They said, sure, okay.
Yeah, Jesus, we killed him, and he's not there, but, and then that.
Where the paths diverge.
Right, exactly.
So he's basically saying, like, hey, everybody so far is saying the same thing.
Even the Jews.
Like, there's this guy Jesus.
He's claiming to be the Messiah.
That's what they said.
And he's leading this revolt.
And the Romans are like, yeah, there's this guy named Jesus.
And he was doing this thing with some people about the way or the Christianity thing.
We later said Christianity first.
It was called the way.
And he's kind of leading this thing over there.
So everybody so far is on the exact same page.
Jesus is there at that time doing the things that they're saying he's doing.
Pretty easy.
Right?
Right.
Okay.
Now let's move on to Stefano talking about the resurrection.
A big thing is the resurrection, right?
People say, really?
He f***ing resurrected from the dead?
And you're like, well, everybody agreed.
Haters, Romans, and the Jewish people, everybody agreed he died.
That's 100%.
That's why when they stab him and they say, water, came out it wasn't water, it was fluid from his lungs because he was dead.
And that's what would happen to you or I when we die, is we have this lung fluid that comes out.
So that's what they said, oh, that's water.
And that's what made him divinity.
But it was like a natural thing.
He's dead.
Everyone agrees.
And you say, well, they buried him in a tomb.
And then the next day or three days later, the tomb's empty.
And people like, so, you know, that made up.
And they say 500 people saw him in the town.
Romans and Hebrews.
They saw him over the next couple of weeks.
500 independently sourced people, real corroborated, 500 people saw him.
This one is frustrating to me because the theory that the tomb was empty because people stole the body, you don't understand what happened in Rome, right?
So if you remember the Jews went to him and they put the sign on the cross and everything and it really pissed the Jews off, dig into why that pissed them off because basically it was Yod-Heh-Vav-Heh basically saying that it was God.
It was basically like Pilate's way of digging at them.
But the one thing that he did do was like, go and make this as secure as possible because the Jews expected his disciples to steal the body and claim a resurrection because Jesus said that he was going to rise again in three days, right?
They knew this was coming.
They posted guards and they sealed the tomb, right?
So I don't remember if it was like a string or something like that, but it's sealed in such a way that if it was opened, they would know.
And also the guards were guarding it under penalty of death.
If somebody got past them and stole the body, the guards would be killed.
The guards have a vested interest in saying, nobody shall pass.
I will die otherwise.
There's no record of them being killed, Josh, to answer your question.
But if you are Rome, and your job right now is to go, this guy doesn't exist, here's what you do.
You go in, you take the body under cover of night, and you move it somewhere else, and that's the story that you tell people, but you never tell them where you moved it.
I moved this body because we knew you guys were gonna come and do some shenanigans and try to say that he's the messiah and risen from the dead and now he's your king and now Rome can go to hell, right?
That's what we did.
We moved the body.
You're never gonna know where it is, but this guy is dead and gone.
They didn't say that.
They secured the tomb as best they could and then this guy rose from the dead.
There is no way to get out of it otherwise.
There is no swoon theory.
He was wrong.
Not everybody believes Jesus died.
Islam kind of says he just swooned.
That's true.
You know he got stabbed in the side and he got beaten to death basically but otherwise he was just fine and just needed a Well, that's a problem with ever saying 100%.
Everybody, absolutely.
But that just comes, you know, with experience in this subject.
But yeah, Islam is based on blasphemy.
It's based on the idea that Jesus was not actually executed and is not who he says he is.
So when Muslims get really mad about a cartoon, I say, well, yeah, entire religion based on blasphemy.
And you know what?
We roll with it.
We say, ah, it's not my time in hell.
Like it.
So a few hundred people saw him in town?
Over 500 people.
So what's the counter-theory then?
The counter-theory is Weekend at Bernie's?
Well, I think we have another clip here.
Matthew and Mark are just like, hey, this is my friend Christ.
Look at him.
Doesn't he look great?
And he's like, boy, I had a rough weekend.
Oh, this crown of thorns is falling off.
Put that back up there, Jesus.
I feel better.
Hey, Jesus, do it like we rehearsed.
These are good people.
Let's go, I think he addresses this, or they sort of address the robbery theory in this clip.
The other conspiracy theory is like, well, the disciples robbed his body.
The disciples just robbed his body because they don't want him, they would hand over crucifixion victims to like the wild dogs.
That used to be the way it was.
If you got crucified, throw you in a pit, wild dogs eat you, or leave you on the cross, birds will eat you.
That's how we deal with you.
So they're like, that's why they were taking his body.
Then you see that, well, that's probably not what happened, and the Romans themselves acknowledge there's no body in that tomb that we put in there three days ago.
The body is not there, and we did it.
So in order to save ourselves, we're going to say the apostles robbed it.
But in reality, that's just a conspiracy, because the apostles would have no reason to rob it.
Okay, so we kind of just addressed that point, but this brings us to the final point where I think there was a really I guess there was a misconnection and I've seen, I've perused the comments and you have some people who are sounding off and a lot of people are getting it wrong.
Some people are getting it right.
I think it's this reflex sometimes that you'll see from Joe, and I appreciate that he's open-minded and he's being more receptive, I would say, now than he used to be.
But the idea that, well, hold on a second, why are you saying that?
Why are you saying conspiracy?
And he uses that word, and I think it's important, just keep in mind, there's a huge difference between conspiracy, which, by the way, there can be a provable, verifiable conspiracy.
Let me just give you the definition before I show the clip.
The definition of conspiracy is an act of conspiring together, meaning two or more people.
That's different from a conspiracy theory.
Conspiracy theory is a theory that explains an event or set of circumstances as a result of a secret plot by usually powerful co-conspirators, okay?
There's a difference between the two.
Conspiracy versus conspiracy theory.
So let's go to Joe Rogan right here and just see if you can spot it.
So the Romans think the Apostles robbed the body.
That's a conspiracy.
Why do you say conspiracy?
You're saying a conspiracy to diminish the story.
No, no, no.
I meant conspiracy in the sense of that's what people say as a reason why the... Do the Romans say that?
The Romans have said that.
The Romans said that back then, and then I guess conspiracy is the wrong word, because I'm not... I'm not... Like, it's one story, one explanation, I'll say.
But if you looked at it, like, what's the most logical explanation?
Is the most logical explanation that a dead guy came back to life, or the most logical explanation that someone took his body, because that's what the Romans said?
I'm, just because I'm in, I'm saying that that is the one time... I'm not saying I'm crazy about it, I'm just saying, you know what?
After reading that book...
Warrior Scissor, is it crazier to believe that a dead guy came to life, or that because the Romans said it?
Alright.
And I understand the basis for this, but it becomes a self-defeating premise.
That's an outlandish claim.
It requires evidence of the outlandish claim.
You're the one making the claim that someone was resurrected.
Okay, that's true.
That is an abnormal event.
And so the implication there is, why wouldn't you believe the Romans?
The Romans must have better historical records.
The Romans must prove historically more reliable.
Okay, let's go with that.
Let's assume it's not necessarily correct.
For example, we have very little corroborating documents on Caligula, even though it's funny, the stuff that we do have.
Let's go with it being more historically accurate.
All right, so then we have the Romans saying K was crucified.
K, he died.
All right, the body's not there.
So let me ask you what's more outlandish.
People Who claim to have seen this man, right?
Like you said, hundreds of people who claim to have seen this man after he was dead.
Which is a fact, according to the Romans and historical accounts themselves.
Okay?
Who believe that, and are willing... Am I hearing something here in the studio?
Is it like a television on or something?
Nah, I think it's just audio out there.
Oh, okay.
People who are willing to believe that and die for what they believe to be a supernatural
event, willing to die for someone who they see as a Messiah.
Is that more outlandish?
Because we also have documentation that they died.
Or people knowingly lying, stealing a body, and then being subjected to torture, skinning
alive, boiling, crucifixion, being thrown off a roof for what they know to be a lie.
To me that's more outlandish that people would conspire because either way there's some kind of conspiring.
Either the Romans conspired because they were dealing with some kind of revolt and they were trying to quell an uprising.
They conspired to say, all right, They actually stole the body, because there's no disagreement from both camps here as far as Jesus being crucified and dying.
So the Romans conspired to say they stole the body, or, when you're talking about the disciples, they conspired to create a fake messiah with no financial gain or incentive of their own and were willing to die horrible deaths, knowingly, For a lie.
People will lie to get themselves out of torture and death.
They don't typically lie to jump into a boiling pot.
That's right.
That's a really bad brochure too.
Yes.
Come with us.
You will have no money, no place to lay your head.
Most people will want to kill you and we know that this is a lie.
Yes.
Like, all of this is a lie, and you guys should just do this.
It doesn't make any sense at all.
There is, you know, there's a book called The Evidence That Demands a Verdict, and I can't remember the guy's name.
He wrote it.
Very famous guy.
And it is all of the evidence related to Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection.
And just pulling evidence, like, from outside, it's the medical part of it as well that's described in the Bible.
One of the most In-depth medical kind of descriptions of a crucifixion or a public execution that we've ever had in history Which is very very interesting because you have a lot of details you confirm there But nobody dies for a lie that they know is a lie and you can't really argue your way out of that
There's no real way to do that.
Josh McDowell, thank you very much for evidence that demands a verdict.
Because you can't say, well, they knew it was a lie, but they thought maybe this guy was going to rise again at some later point.
No, the Jews were expecting a conquering king.
They got the suffering servant part first.
They weren't waiting around for somebody to resurrect.
It was a surprise to them.
All the way up to the day that he rose from the dead and showed himself to the disciples, by the way.
All of them.
Right.
Saw Jesus resurrected.
They would have known either A. He actually showed himself to us and he's the real deal so let's go do this thing and it doesn't matter if we get killed.
Or B. He's still dead and we stole his body to make it look like we have something but it's still not playing in our favor because people hate us and persecute us.
They would not have done the lie part.
Eventually they would have fallen away and gone into nothing.
And by the way, this is also not anything new.
So, Joe was saying, well, you just say it's a conspiracy because of the Romans, and people will present the case, right?
Christian apologists, they tend to be pretty good at this because they've gotten a lot of reps, not only currently, but historically.
So, just because the Romans say it.
Well, again, we have to go back to, why would people willingly die, be tortured, suffer for what they know is a lie?
But the reason that Christians have been more effective at justifying rationalizing their faith than any other religion in the
history of the world.
That's when people say, well, we could just point to similar examples
from Egyptian mythology, the idea of resurrection, we could point to... No, and I
mean take all of them. You have not had followers, disciples as good at the
apologetics portion of spreading their faith.
Why?
Because people have done this for a very long time.
They've been very dismissive, and they say, that's absolutely not true.
And they've also executed and persecuted Christians, and it still has always been spread by word of mouth.
The spread of Christianity has required its advocates to say, okay, hold on a second.
I understand that you're dismissing this saying, oh, some guy raised from the dead, or you're saying flying spaghetti monster, or you're going to kill me if I tell you that I believe this to be true.
So allow me to explain to you why I know this to be true.
So even though there were known persecutors of Christians throughout history, early Christianity was not spread by the sword.
It was spread through speech.
It was spread through word of mouth.
Very different from the early days of Islam, where there were no known actual oppressors.
And it was exclusively spread through violence across that entire area of the world.
So Christians have had to get pretty good at this, because it's the only religion that has faced direct persecution, execution, for centuries, without an actual standing army.
How do you grow it?
You have to convince people.
And that's what you're seeing today.
And that is why, to me, it's a self-defeating premise, because these people did it, knowingly facing execution, and they were willing to use their words.
If you want to know why freedom of speech is so important, just look to the initial spread of Christianity.
That's why.
Yeah.
Anything?
No.
Okay.
I think it's pretty good.
I'm glad he was willing to share his story, though, the comedian.
I really, yeah.
He's a funny guy, too.
I recommend people go.
Some of his stand-up is hilarious.
Yeah, and I mean, look, you know, you might be like, talking about Jesus.
Look, it's the most important decision you'll make.
Either it's the biggest waste of time and you should absolutely never listen to anybody talk about Jesus again, or it's going to affect every single thing in your life.
There is no in-between.
And making the case historically, and making the case from the books that we have available, like making just a purely historical case for Jesus, his existence and the potential claims.
God didn't ask you to check your brain at the door.
He basically said, go and search these things out and see if all of this stuff is true.
And I think that's an important part of what we do.
But it's also kind of fun to hear somebody do it on Joe Rogan.
And I also understand the skepticism.
We get it.
Some stories don't hold up.
🎵 Music 🎵 Extra! Extra!
Read all about it, folks!
Cicadas are nature's weirdos!
That's right!
They pee stronger than us, and STD can turn them into zombies!
See?
Read all about it!
They're zombies!
They're sucking the blood!
That's absolutely right!
Had a girlfriend like that once!
Oh, I knew her, too!
Never again!
Well, I did, twice!
What?
There she is now!
Ticatus are blood sucking zombies?
Yeah.
What?
Basically.
I don't understand.
It's a real thing.
No.
Basically, and they burrow and live underground.
Mm-hmm.
Like a coffin.
And they disappear for years.
Apparently there's like, you know, three of them, not three of them, three different kinds of cicadas that are like all coming out at one time right now.
Oh wow.
Ginger Snap, Laying the Brain was talking about that.
He said the world was gonna end.
I didn't quite say that, but.
You know what they call cicadas?
What?
Nature's meteorologists.
Really?
Also nature's zombies, apparently.
Terrifying creatures, too, by the way.
They really are absolutely terrifying.
I don't think they do anything to you, but they just feel scary.
Yeah, they do.
They feel scary.
There's a lot of bugs like that.
I don't think it does anything to you, though.
There's a bug in the office here.
It's in the southwest.
It curls up.
It's almost like a bug, but it's like an armadillo.
What is that?
It's a doodle bug.
I put a bug in your phone.
It's a doodle bug.
It's a different thing.
That's what we found out.
We're working on an expose for the Post.
All right, we want to get to the... Wow.
Get in line.
Yeah, no kidding.
Let's go to the ICC here, because this has been trending, and I know what a lot of you are thinking.
Should I care?
Should I be concerned?
I'll be truthful here.
Not so much.
You should be concerned with the possibility of a rogue administration giving unwarranted and unfettered power to an international criminal court that really has no business even existing.
So if you thought that the UN was bad, and it is, it sucks.
The International Criminal Court, the ICC for short, you'll be hearing me say that quite a bit, is even more useless.
It's legit as those college courts they were yelling about two weeks ago.
Yes.
That's probably what it is.
The ICC is a phoenix.
It's the perfect encapsulation of this joke that is liberal internationalism, which of course is on everyone's minds because Schwab just stepped down from the WF, or he announced he's going to step down.
He pulled a Jay Leno.
And the reason it was trending is because on Monday this international criminal court Issued, oh geez, arrest warrants for Benjamin Netanyahu as well as a Hamas leader, I think it's Yaha Sinwar if I pronounce that incorrectly.
Look, this is a useless person just like the ICC is a useless organization.
On the basis of evidence collected and examined and analyzed by my office, I have reasonable grounds to believe that three senior leaders of Hamas He looks like a guy who would be an actor, who you see in a lot of movies, who you don't know, but you recognize and say, I've seen him in a lot of movies.
He sounds like he's doing an Anthony Hopkins interview.
Look at the lady's frown.
She's just like... Dude, that frown is upside down, dude.
That is an upside down smile.
That is an upside down smile.
I can also confirm today that I have reasonable grounds to believe on the basis of evidence
He reminds me of Brian Cox.
So that self-importance there.
It looks like a fake video.
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Minister of Defense Yoav Galand bear criminal responsibility.
So that self-importance there.
I thought that that it looks like a fake video like it looks like something that people will
be watching on TV in a movie.
You know like the dad would be in the kitchen making eggs while the kids are playing and
that's playing like hey kids quiet down.
The world is ending.
It looked like the speaker was standing in between the couple from American Gothic getting divorced.
They both look grumpy, they look like the people in the photo.
Oh my gosh, he's like, by evidence obtained and reviewed by my office that nobody cares about.
This is a ban.
Yeah, exactly.
They don't have lighting for them, you know?
Well, the ICC also issued these arrest warrants for both sides.
Yeah.
Okay.
And the ICC also has arrest warrants for Vladimir Putin, for Nuruddin Adam, which is the rebel leader of the Central African Republic.
I love the last name Adam.
Yeah.
I'm sure they're going to get right on that.
It's like, we have issued arrest warrants.
Fine.
Good for you.
No arrest warrant for some reason for the leadership of Hezbollah, the Ayatollah, Kim Jong-un, Xi Jinping.
No arrest warrant.
So this is all politically motivated.
It's kind of like an international clickbait committee, only they want the ability to violate international law.
Do they think they're going to be able to extradite people?
No, I don't think so.
I think it's like, hey, we have an arrest warrant.
Could somebody go get them for us?
Yes, yes.
It's like they think Dog the Bounty Hunter's gonna call him up.
I don't know his impression, but... I got Netanyahu here!
Yeah.
Brother, come on.
You gotta get straightened up and fly right, Hamas.
Is that what he sounds like?
I don't know.
I don't know either.
I know his wife has a... Alright.
That's all I know!
That's a heavy bounty.
And he lost his entire career because he used the N-word.
Dogs of the Bounty Hunter.
Remember that story?
Yeah.
That was it.
Same with Paula Deen.
Paula Deen was at a deposition and they asked, have you ever used the N-word?
Have you looked at Paula Deen?
Same thing with Papa John's guy.
It's a leading question if I've ever heard one.
Look at her.
You know the answer is yes.
Just cancel her and we'll be on our merry way.
We're going to talk about this more obviously on Mug Club because we're going over time a little bit, but the International Crime Committee I believe a competing organization?
Yeah, a little bit.
A little different.
It's just a race to the bottom.
They have their own charges to levy.
Today, I'm announcing the filing of applications for warrants of arrest in the name of the International Crime Committee for several world leaders for their crimes against humanity.
These applications are an outcome of independent investigations conducted by my office under the direction of these two miserable sacks of shit behind me.
Without holding any trials, we have found several sovereign leaders to be absolutely guilty of the following crimes.
First, King Charles III, guilty of coercing the entire kingdom into eating beans for breakfast, and for cheating on Princess Diana.
I mean, she had a giant nose, we all know, but some people think she was a bait.
Next, we have Emmanuel Macron of France.
Guilty of marrying his teacher, who is 40 years his senior.
Not at all a babe.
She kind of looks like Liza Abso that's had entirely way too much work done.
Also, for the general malfeasance of being French.
The committee also finds Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau guilty of killing a queen.
See for yourself.
I ain't no soldier because I'm easy come, easy go.
Little high, little low.
Stand me where the wind blows.
Cause I think we're done.
The International Crime Committee also finds Russian President Vladimir Putin guilty
for the crime of not saving enough pussy for the rest of us.
systems.
Thank you.
Last, and certainly not least, we find Xi Jinping, President of the People's Republic of China, guilty of Holy s***, so many things.
So, a couple things.
We're going to continue on Mug Club, an entire segment here on the ICC.
Gets a little bit nerdy.
Yes, yes, exactly.
ICC is a joke, y'all.
What?
Don't end the show on that.
So you can click the button down there if you haven't joined Mug Club yet.

But before we continue with this segment, look, the most important takeaway from that is Justin Trudeau sang that song gayer than Freddie Mercury.
How is that possible?
Yeah.
He made Queen more young.
Yes!
I half expected him to lay down on the piano with the player like, Easy come, easy go.
My dad is Castro.
Well, allegedly.
That's fine.
Allegedly.
A hidden verse.
I know it's wrong.
But I hate him, I really do.
