	We searched for the best home cooks at Lauda with Crowder.
	And now, in our season finale, I, Chef Morton Pansy, will decide who will be Chef Master.
	Gerald, what have you brought me?
	Thank you, Chef.
	I've brought you a parmesan-encrusted cod with heirloom tomatoes, sauteed spinach, and the finest angel hair pasta.
	Wow.
	Absolutely amazing that you've managed to make it this far into the competition.
	You should have won already.
	The prize for worst f***ing cook ever!
	I wouldn't feed this to my dog let alone take another bite myself!
	Disgusting!
	Absolutely f***ing crass!
	Spinnigan, what have you brought me?
	It's a batch of my patience-inspired spaghetti.
	Very well.
	The problem with this dish...
	is that I want more.
	In fact, I'll have some more.
	Amazing.
	Truly.
	You know what's so good about this?
	If my own mum was here, I'd push her down the stairs, yeah?
	Just so I can get more of this.
	Where can I get more?
	Just go to prepwithcrowder.com.
	Save 50 bucks.
	Oh, s***!
	I forgot you were here!
	Anyways, let's see who won.
	Gerald, step forward.
	Your journey at Chefmaster is finished.
	Please, take off your apron.
	and get into the viper pit.

	Go to Preppercrowder.com to get $50 off your four-week emergency food kit.
	Oh, awesome. I actually was the one who declared that they did a bad deal.
	Oh, awesome. Thank you.
	I'm going to get some more.
	Hey, good news.
	Ask and you shall receive.
	You can now listen to Nikki Haley's show live on Sirius XM.
	What?
	But no one had a lot to get to today.
	We're going to be discussing the big three today, okay?
	Issues that get people really upset.
	Abortion, weed, and the n-word.
	You can bring that up there on the rundown.
	N-words?
	It's a tale of two Freudian slips.
	As a matter of fact, we're leading with it.
	You should be familiar.
	We also have Scott Pressler on the show.
	He's going to be on the show.
	He's doing a lot for voter registration.
	I've seen him around for a while and he's really kind of carved out a spot for himself and seems to be doing some really good work.
	Very good work, yes.
	Also, there's some fallout with the Trump, uh, well, alleged or apparent assassination or claimed assassination attempt.
	See, that's what the media is trying to do right now.
	They're trying to memory hole this and we're not going to allow them to do it.

	You can click the link in the description.
	I warn you, I'm not in the best of moods today because of these topics.
	Please, the people who, and by the way, I'm not saying that everyone who uses cannabis is a pothead, but you know who you are.
	Just wait a minute before you start commenting.
	Okay?
	Can you do that?
	Please, comment below.
	I know you've waked and baked, but can you comment below?
	Just a little bit.
	Well, they should be, you know, toned down.
	If they've waked and baked, then maybe they're calm enough to comment.
	Yeah.
	Is it woke and broke?
	Is that woke and broke?
	Woke and broke?
	What?
	I don't think so.
	Woke and broke.
	Anyway.
	Captain Morgan, number two.
	How are you, sir?
	Doing well.
	How are you?
	I'm good.
	Oh, by the way, if at some point today, you know, this is a week, this is a show, weekdays.
	By the way, Nikki Haley, Wednesdays at 8 a.m.
	This is weekdays 10 a.m.
	Eastern, and if at some point on YouTube you see this, just head on over to Rumble.
	Nikki Haley live, Wednesdays at 8.
	Dude, best plugs he's gonna get.
	On SiriusXM.
	A lot of China praise, I'm not going to lie.
	The dishes, of course.
	And you can actually go see him at Film Alley in Terrell, Texas, September 20th.
	It is the wonderful Josh Feierstein.
	How are you, sir?
	I'm good.
	I'm high as hell.
	You know, I woke and boke.
	You woke and boke.
	No, that's not true.
	We're going to get to all of it, but first...
	The internet, uh, really, every now and then you get, you just have, you get, you get some, it's a gift from the internet gods.
	It is.
	Yes.
	You know what a Freudian slip is, right?
	For those of you who don't, well, I don't care, I assume that you do.
	So, this one... This isn't for you.
	Look, you can comment.
	This has gone everywhere.
	We have differing opinions.
	This created a schism in the office.
	The National Review Editor, uh, his name is, uh, I guess he's the Editor-in-Chief.
	I don't know.
	Is he Editor-in-Chief?
	Editor-in-Chief?
	Editor-in-Chief.
	Rich Lowry had a Freudian... I don't know if you would just say Freudian slip on Megyn Kelly's show.
	He just came out and and said the word and it's...
	We have the non-bleak version, right, Toolman?
	Yes.
	It's pretty hard to explain- Now, I'm not going to attack- Hold on, before we run.
	Yeah, set it up.
	Before you actually have the N-Bomb dropped on your show with a hard R, I feel like it does need context.
	Maybe the N-Bomb?
	I think people know at this point.
	I am not going to attack the guy.
	I don't think there's any hate in his heart.
	I don't think he meant to go out and say something racist.
	All of that said, It's a rough go for Rich Lowry.
	I loved, I think it was in that interview where Dana Bash says, you know, the police have gone through 11 months of recordings of calls and they've only found two Springfield residents calling to complain about Haitian migrants.
	Just keep that train rolling, dude.
	Don't say the n-word, don't say the n-word, don't say the n-word.
	I knew this would happen!
	So, it's an accident.
	Mm-hmm.
	Okay.
	Time to change your name.
	Mistakes happen.
	It's your worst nightmare.
	But he then responded to it and his comment was, I began to mispronounce the word migrants and caught myself halfway through.
	Here's the thing.
	Migrant And then, of course, completed with the grrr, migrrr.
	If he was saying, like, if there was a word out there like migrrr, maybe.
	Yes.
	Or if he was trying to talk about the awful lawn pest chiggers, which, of course, that would make sense.
	You'd be like, okay, you're nervous because you're going into it.
	If people aren't familiar with it, they rhyme.
	Migrant.
	I just, I don't know how it comes out that way.
	I mean, is it possible?
	Maybe.
	Again, I'm not saying that he's a racist.
	No, of course not.
	What I am saying is that he would be better off to be like, Ha ha!
	You know, I said it.
	I lost to Tupac right before I did the interview.
	My bad.
	I don't know what you want me to say.
	You know, I said it, and it sucks.
	That's it.
	There's not much you can do with that.
	Do you think, did you buy that?
	He mispronounced something?
	No, no, because you gotta, people were, he wanted to get, he wanted to act like that never happened.
	Because people would cover it all the time.
	There's that Reds broadcaster that said gay city, gay capital of the world or whatever on air on accident.
	Yeah.
	And then he came back and he's like, I will not be on this microphone the next inning and drive to left field.
	Like he just, he addressed it.
	He will address it.
	You don't, just keep going.
	So that one's funny.
	Yes.
	And by the way, yeah, I know he's a little white guy, and you're going to do a lot of that because I'll be talking about abortion today.
	So you're going to say, oh, I'm a little white male.
	Yep, yep.
	Guilty.
	So, relatively harmless.
	Let's just say it's harmless.
	He didn't say it with any hate.
	It's a word.
	It's syllables that are uttered.
	That's all it is.
	That's what we're talking about here.
	It's the intent behind it.
	I don't believe there was any ill intent.
	That being said, I know you're going to say this is a double standard.
	It's not.
	I'm okay with it.
	A 2023 video of the U.S.
	Virgin Islands representative Stacey Plaskett has resurfaced, and looking back at this one though, I don't know if it was just kind of a mispronunciation so much as, you know, revealed through the mouth what dwells in her heart.
	Having Trump not only have had the codes but now having the classified information for Americans and being able to put that out and share it in his resort with anyone and everyone who comes through should be terrifying to all Americans and he needs to be shot.
	That's tough coming from a lady dressed like the parachute we played with in the schoolyard.
	What's that game called?
	I don't know, it's just parachute.
	Parachute?
	So he should be shot.
	Stopped.
	I meant stopped.
	I totally think shot, but stopped is what I meant to say.
	Well it happens to the best of us, you know it doesn't.
	I don't think it does.
	Yeah, it does happen to me last night.
	Hmm?
	Hey!
	So, I'm going to be a teacher.
	I'm going to be a teacher.
	See you later, Tim.
	Okay, love you.
	Oh, hey, Josh.
	Oh.
	Yeah, uh... Hey, Tim.
	Oh, hey Josh.
	Oh.
	Yeah, uh, hey Tim.
	See ya.
	Yeah, that's not a, that's not a Freudian slip.
	I think you're gay.
	Yeah.
	No.
	Gay, gay, gay, gay, gay, gay.
	It's fine.
	Well, that settles it.
	Jim's gay, too!
	It's fine.
	I love you just the same because you're my friend.
	Close one.
	It's so close to friend.
	My, my friend.
	I'm not even going to try to say.
	We're not neighbors.
	This is the perfect time for a plug as any.
	$50 off a four-week emergency food kit.
	Just go to prepwithcrowder.com.
	These people are a great company.
	You don't have to be a doomsday prepper to understand that if it's an earthquake, if it's an ice storm, you know, your power goes out, you should have some water, a way to cook food, and enough of a food supply for a few months.
	Everyone should have it.
	I wish I had it in the Montreal ice storm because family members died.
	Okay.
	What's the promo code?
	Huh?
	What's the promo code?
	Is there a promo code?
	I don't think there is.
	I think you just go to crablycrowder.com.
	Crablycrowder.com?
	Good.
	Gerald, it's not a time for laughing.
	I had people die in the ice storm in Montreal.
	You did?
	Yeah.
	Not you.
	Family.
	Well, he was there.
	I was there.
	You had family die?
	Yeah.
	I fact-checked that.
	That's not true.
	You don't know.
	What a heartbreaker.
	I remember that, it was your uncle, wasn't it?
	It wasn't!
	Yeah, it was on your mom's side.
	I remember, you told me about that.
	I've known you for years, I've never heard this story.
	It was tragic, and Gerald's just laughing it off, man.
	Not on my mom's side, he died on my mom.
	First you lose the X-Bows, then you're... She was trying to drag him to safety.
	Oh, really?
	Also, and then he died, also that Gerald could have a laugh?
	Geez.
	None of this ever happened.
	Yeah.
	Go, go, uh, go, uh, guffaw to Schindler's List.
	All right.
	So...
	Nice word.
	Uh, look, we have to venture into this here because this is making the rounds.
	Dave Portnoy of Barstool Sports makes a lot of good points sometimes, and I understand the point that he's making here.
	So please, look, people, comment below if you think that we are at the point now where we can have a reasonable discussion, an actual conversation surrounding marijuana laws, the ramifications, as, by the way, we have about alcohol.
	Yes, of course.
	The age of purchasing alcohol.
	The effects.
	The legal limit.
	The effects.
	I think they were at that point because at one point no one was allowed to use it and we were too far one direction.
	But now I think some new data has come in and if people are going to be making their own decisions, as you should, I just think it's time to start making perhaps a little more informed decisions.
	So this is the founder of Barstool Sports, Dave Portnoy.
	He put out this video pleading with Floridians to, you know, legalize all marijuana.
	Listen, it's Sunday afternoon, football on TV, pizza on the way, in Massachusetts, smoking a little weed, just enjoying my day.
	Florida, you can't do this.
	In my Miami house, you can't do this.
	Why?
	Freedom.
	It's about freedom.
	Half the states allow this.
	Legal marijuana.
	Florida.
	I want to be able to watch football, eat pizza, and smoke.
	We're all adults here.
	21 plus.
	Make your own decisions.
	It's on the ballot.
	Vote yes on three.
	Legalize recreational weed.
	Come on.
	Where are we, Florida?
	Wake up!
	Wake up!
	Don't tell what other people what to do in their own house.
	We're grown adults.
	It's safe.
	It's legal.
	Over half the states in the country have it.
	Why don't we in Florida?
	I'm a Florida resident.
	I want to be able to smoke in my house, watching football, eating pizza like a human.
	I can do it in Massachusetts.
	Make it legal on ballot day.
	Vote yes on three in Florida.
	Thank you.
	Well, on the plus side, he looks really cool.
	He does look really cool, and it's a fun accent.
	In anticipation, by the way, Disney is developing a new park called Cush Kingdom, but it's not worked out great.
	Oh, that's... Wow.
	It'll show up late.
	Yeah.
	Heck yeah.
	Yes.
	Fantasia's quite popular there.
	Now, okay, there's quite a bit to unpack there.
	Yes, I think you need to be able to make your own decisions.
	I agree with that.
	I do not believe that anyone should be arrested simply for having marijuana, and I think that states have the right to legalize weed.
	And by the way, I also think that there are some therapeutic and medicinal uses for it in limited contexts.
	Or, I should say, in certain contexts where it's been studied adequately.
	Yeah, I also think that there are a bunch of lofty claims that aren't accurate.
	And I think if people are going to be making decisions, not everyone is making a decision simply based on liberty.
	I think it's a valid argument.
	But a lot of people are going to be making their decisions based on the results.
	So let's get to some of the claims that you often run into.
	Well, really, whether they're true or there's maybe a little bit of a gray area, okay?
	Claim that you hear a lot.
	And this is a big one, and I've been hearing this, right, when we were growing up, of course, weed was not legal.
	And everyone's going, well, man, if you just legalize it and you just tax it, then you're just leaving a bunch of... And it's the only time that the left really all of a sudden like...
	They care about liberty, and then they're like, we can tax it.
	Tax it, yeah.
	Brings in a bunch of tax revenue.
	Let me just first off front with this.
	Brings in tax revenue, reduces crime, lowers the use of other drugs.
	What's the other one that we hear?
	Oh, it'll put drug lords out of business.
	These were the arguments that were often used.
	First one is that it brings in huge tax revenue.
	Legalizing marijuana has already created thousands of full-time jobs, and it's raised hundreds of millions of dollars in tax revenue, a lot of which has gone toward public schools.
	So you see, kids, drugs are cool.
	Yeah.
	Now the truth, and by the way, if we follow that line of logic, and I know some libertarians will actually say, yeah, we should do that, you can increase tax revenue if you just legalize and tax anything.
	I mean, then you can, why not heroin?
	Why not prostitution?
	Right.
	I mean, let's just, some people say fine, some people say fine, I understand it, but not everyone will feel that way, so we need to be transparent about where the conversation is taking place.
	The truth is, yeah, Yeah, it's increased tax revenue.
	So, in 2022, states that were taxing marijuana collected a total of around $2.9 billion in revenue.
	Here's the thing though, 40% of that revenue was offset by reductions in alcohol and tobacco tax revenue.
	And here's something that people don't tell you, the increased net costs in a lot of ways.
	It's hard because a lot of people don't have these numbers directly side by side.
	But for example, in Portugal, where they legalized all drugs, you just ended up spending more money on public rehabilitation programs, on re-education programs, on, you know, sorry, just education programs.
	on letting people know how they could responsibly handle drugs.
	They had a significant number of overdoses. They had to deal with costs
	with pollution as far as, you know, drugs and trash being left in the streets.
	And you also have here in the United States some increased costs. For example,
	substance use disorders. It's been up about 17 percent since legalization.
	Okay?
	17%.
	Now I'm not saying there is a direct correlation, just to be clear.
	Or sorry, I'm not saying there's a direct cause, causal link.
	Chronic homelessness?
	It's up 35% since legalization.
	You can look to places not only like Seattle, but you can look to a lot of these cities where the idea that it becomes utopia and young professionals simply smoking weed to relax at the end of the day, which I have no problem with, That's not the end result.
	And genuinely, I'd like you to comment below, if you're in a place where you've seen the before and after, if you would do it again, or if you're happy with the results, or if you feel as though you've been maybe sold a false bill of goods.
	I know a lot of people feel that way.
	Yeah, I was in Denver, just the one anecdotal experience I had, and one of the points we'll get to is like, this just smells terrible.
	A lot of people complain about that.
	They do complain about that.
	Yeah, Dave Portnoy was smoking in his house?
	He's fine.
	I think that's fine, but I think a lot of people would say, okay, well, if you're going to legalize it and do these things, one, don't make a lot of claims that aren't absolutely true.
	Just say that you want to go and get high.
	Fine.
	I understand that.
	Go for it.
	I think there's some debate you can have there.
	But two, put some regulations on it so that it's not around kids.
	Because in Denver, it could be.
	You could be smoking right next to a family if you wanted to.
	There are other rules around smoking, just cigarettes, That would kind of lead the way on, okay, how do we kind of keep this away from certain groups of people that are in a restaurant or things like that.
	There's some easy rules you can put in place.
	Yeah, there are absolutely some easy rules that you can put in place.
	And by the way, in Florida, it's the same thing as Texas.
	He could easily go get a can of not just Delta 8, Delta 9 THC.
	He could easily get a vape.
	And at this point, in a lot of these places that don't have marijuana dispensaries, as long as it's under 0.3% THC, sorry, Delta 9 THC by dry weight, That's why you can buy gummies from Cheech and Chong across the country.
	It's legal to purchase anywhere across the country now, or at least I believe pretty much anywhere.
	There might be a couple states that have basically unenforceable rules against it, but in Florida you can go into a shop and you can still get marijuana right now that would be multiple times more potent than what your parents smoked at Woodstock.
	It's just not a thing.
	I just don't understand why it's still a thing.
	I don't understand why it's still a cause du jour for some people.
	You can take it.
	Fine.
	The issue, the only issue that I've always had is when you tell people that it is without consequences.
	For example, you have people who argue that they should be able to drive high.
	I disagree.
	You can comment below.
	I don't believe that it is conducive towards effective defensive driving, as you probably learned at driving school.
	What if you're a nervous driver and you really just need to calm down to be good?
	Well, that's another thing.
	A lot of people say it calms my nerves, and there's strong evidence to show that it actually makes anxiety disorders worse.
	Really?
	Long term.
	Yes!
	Come on!
	Because you can't deal with your emotions, man.
	Well, that's a big part of it.
	I know people say alcohol, alcohol, alcohol, alcohol.
	Sure, I understand it, but here is the big difference.
	And please tell me if you understand this, I'm going to treat you like an adult.
	Um, alcohol has been, and certainly in Western civilization, has been around for a very long time.
	Prohibition was the exact opposite of what we're doing right now.
	Basically, you had a few people, largely women, who just got the vote, who decided, lips that touch liquor will never touch ours.
	Oh no!
	Have you seen pictures of ladies back then?
	You could smell them from here.
	Wait them out!
	Like, oh no!
	Oh, you mean I don't get to put a peck on that dead tooth?
	Oh man, syphilis is gonna have to wait!
	Dang.
	But they took something people engaged in, a majority of society drank, and tried to ban it.
	That's very different than taking a substance that a small percentage of the population use, marijuana, THC, and then pushing for everyone to view it as harmless.
	Alcohol was never viewed as harmless, and we didn't tell kids to go out and binge drink.
	We never did.
	The issue is that in trying to get something legalized, I do think That a lot of people have been fundamentally dishonest.
	I mean, you can see billboards.
	Wake and bake.
	No one has ever told children or sent the message, hey, wake up and drink.
	We've effectively treated marijuana like an R-rated movie.
	Like, it's fine.
	There's nothing wrong with it.
	It's just something adults do.
	Wake and bake.
	That's very different.
	The difference is alcohol was always treated as something that could be abused and could be harmful.
	Yeah.
	We sold marijuana to people as though it is Consequence-free.
	It's healthful.
	I remember that as a kid.
	People went, it's actually healthy, man.
	It'll prevent cancer.
	Really?
	And cataracts.
	And cataracts.
	It does help with cataracts.
	Glaucoma.
	Not as much as other medication, but you know, it's not as fun.
	It's definitely not as fun.
	Here's another claim that has been made.
	And again, this is just about you.
	If you're going to make your decisions with your state, And if I were voting, I would probably vote to legalize it in my state.
	Just to be clear.
	With very, very strong restrictions.
	Yeah.
	But I think you need to make an informed decision.
	All references available.
	I'll link in the description.
	They said for a long time that legalizing it would actually decrease illicit drug use.
	The idea behind this was people are trying to go get street drugs, and so if you legalize marijuana, they're more likely to use the accessible drug, and you'll have fewer overdose deaths.
	Here's the truth.
	Um, no.
	Now, I can't definitively make the claim that it has increased overdose deaths.
	What I can tell you is that, at best, it has had no effect, and during the same time period, namely between 2015 and 2022, as marijuana has become increasingly legalized, overdoses have more than doubled.
	They've more than doubled, and here's actually a study that I believe comes out of Columbia.
	We have the reference there.
	Adults use marijuana more frequently in these states where there's legal use, and there was a slight increase in problematic use among adolescents, and there's an overall increase in overdose deaths.
	Not saying that's because of marijuana!
	But I am saying that if you were to say, hey, here's a prescription to lower overdose deaths, which is how it was sold, and you saw the overdose deaths double, well, that's a shitty prescription.
	It's like, hey, I'm going to give you this, and it's going to shrink your cancerous tumor.
	And you come back, you say, I actually got twice as big twice as fast.
	My bad!
	It's definitely been a culture shift.
	You can't, like you said, you can't directly attribute the numbers to it, but there's definitely been a culture shift, and it starts around 2012, I think.
	That's when they started legalizing it.
	And it's not lost to me that there are plenty of adults, by the way, high-functioning executives, who relax at night and use THC, as some people may use alcohol.
	But let's be honest, there's a huge portion of this population in this country who are not responsible enough to handle psychotropic drugs if they're completely unregulated and not written through a prescription.
	There are people here who can't handle psychotropic drugs that are written by prescription!
	Here's another claim that has been sold to you.
	That legalizing marijuana will reduce crime.
	That was a big thing, right?
	It's gonna reduce crime because, you know, you have people, you basically, you eliminate the black market.
	Here's the truth.
	It has not reduced crime.
	Okay?
	Still can vote to legalize it on the liberty argument, but not because it reduces crime or reduces overdoses.
	I hope you're following.
	Researchers at the University of Utah, recreational marijuana legalization increased property and violent crime, and retail sales of marijuana were associated with an increase in property crimes overall.
	You also see, by the way, a lot of people thought you would do away with the drug trade.
	Actually, more people are purchasing illicit, I guess, drugs.
	Black market drugs in places like California than ever before because it's so much cheaper due to the taxes, and you see a huge rise in growing operations and trafficking.
	For example, we did that piece in Oklahoma with farms that were basically owned by foreign Chinese entities, right?
	In 2023, Oklahoma produced 64 times the amount of marijuana that residents could consume, and so it's trafficked to other parts of the country.
	They tried hard, though.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	I mean, they really did try to, you know, consume as much as they could.
	Mexican cartels, if they feel as though they're losing money here, they've increased their production of heroin, fentanyl, meth.
	I had this conversation on Red Eye a long time ago.
	If you do it, it'll put the drug cartels out of business.
	I said, oh, oh, so you believe that drug dealers are married to the idea of making money off of pot?
	Or maybe they're married to the idea of working in an illegal trade no matter what and not paying taxes.
	Doesn't matter what.
	Then you just go, okay, legalize heroin, legalize fentanyl, legalize meth.
	Then move on to prostitution, legalize prostitution.
	Guess what they'll do?
	They'll move to underage prostitution.
	Everyone has a line, is the point that I'm making.
	And so when people try and tell conservatives out there, man, I thought you were for liberty.
	Well, you have a line too.
	Everyone has a line, and you need to be able to draw that line in an informed way as to when it has some kind of prevalent harm presented to society.
	And that line can be crossed.
	We saw it in Oregon, where they legalize it.
	First, it says marijuana.
	Great.
	And then a couple years ago, all of a sudden, now every drug is legal.
	And that whole slippery slope argument, you always go, ah, come on, really?
	Weed to heroin?
	And then you're like, oh, shoot.
	Yeah, it's happening in the street, literally.
	Oh, so you're saying you're just going to legalize weed and people are going to be using black tar heroin and shitting in the streets?
	Like, no.
	Yes.
	I'm telling you, there's going to be an app to identify the human shit in the streets.
	Because there already is in San Francisco, so just move it over.
	They're going to create programs where they put bathrooms downtown and they have needle cleanup crews and they have free needle exchanges.
	Yeah.
	There is a line and you can cross it and we've seen it.
	Yes.
	So, again, make your informed decisions, but if you're saying, I'm going to legalize it because it's going to reduce crime, it's going to increase tax revenue, That's not correct, and there may be a directly inverted correlation there.
	Yes.
	So here's another claim.
	Well, really quickly, before you move on on the crime stats, so it is one of the things that I saw, like in California, right?
	They legalized it a long time ago.
	They've allowed people to grow out there.
	They've actually made a documentary on this in some of the mountains, and I believe it's kind of the west coast.
	So Humboldt?
	Yeah, Humboldt, yeah.
	Yeah, yeah.
	So they have people on like four-wheelers with rifles guarding their stuff.
	Oh, yeah.
	You don't see that for grapes.
	You don't see that for wheat or oranges or nectarines or anything.
	You don't see that in any other product.
	There is definitely a criminal element embedded in this community like no other agricultural product that we have.
	Well, it's contributed to a sub-market, if that's even a word, but it's like people will rob these dispensaries and these farms and then they start selling on the streets for a little bit less without the added tax.
	If one thing's for sure, I'm sure that drug addicts are going to pay a little bit extra and taxes for their drugs.
	Yeah, you know how they're gonna get in their car and drive to the- They're gonna be sitting at home with their- with their- what are those called?
	Fagos?
	Don't bash the fagos, dude!
	I paid my fair share!
	I was like, hey man, I got a good- I got a good lineman, I can get you some cheap weed.
	No, no, no, no!
	Let's be responsible!
	Let's do this right!
	Give up your fan, it's rightful due!
	Support a local small business and go down to the dispensary.
	Well, you mentioned the GrowFarm thing, too.
	That illicit stuff, the Chinese people coming in and doing it.
	We did a huge video on that, so go and watch it on our channel.
	But that's another criminal element that you've created in this industry that you have to at least acknowledge.
	Maybe you can deal with it in certain ways, but you can't just turn a blind eye and go, everything's fantastic, it worked.
	Exactly.
	There are pluses and minuses to both sides of this issue.
	That's all I'm saying.
	And there was a period of time where if you said, I don't know if anything you're claiming is going to be true.
	They go, you're paid by Big Pharma, bro!
	Oh right, okay.
	And then I would slip the Percocet back in my pocket and go, probably not at the right time.
	So here's the other claim that is made.
	Marijuana's totally safe and healthy.
	Here's the truth.
	No, it's not.
	Now, in comparison to other drugs out there, of course.
	And in comparison to alcohol just as it relates to overdose deaths, yes, that is absolutely true.
	But I think there's a different standard that needs to be applied when you have billboards and marketing campaigns that say, wake and bake, and by the way, this is medicine.
	I think there's a different... So, is it completely harmless?
	No, it's not.
	And there are, to be clear, medicinal uses for marijuana.
	I'll list them here where it's actually been proven.
	And by the way, in pretty much every state, you're past that threshold.
	You do not need obscene amounts of THC.
	CBD, a higher ratio with some THC.
	THC itself has a therapeutic benefit.
	Cancer patients, the side effects from a lot of those treatments with appetite, wasting, helps.
	PTSD nightmares, for example.
	Night terrors, those type of sleep disorders.
	Seems to help with that.
	Seems to help with neuropathic pain.
	Something like gabapentin.
	Won't help with the pain of an actual inner injury, like an opiate might.
	Pretty much useless.
	But in those instances, it seems like there's medicinal use.
	Like fentanyl!
	Yes!
	Like fentanyl and codeine and morphine.
	Dravet syndrome, someone can correct me here, that's the seizure disorder that's pretty rare with kids.
	CBD does seem to help with that quite a bit.
	And CBD has a lot of benefits, by the way.
	And so does THC in a limited capacity, but if you are going to purchase, you know, three ounces of Alaskan Thunder Pussy, you're not trying to play doctor.
	Just be honest about what it is that you're doing.
	It's all about marketing these days, Josh.
	My biggest issue, and please tell me you understand this, and I know I got into an argument with Joe Rogan on this a long time ago, but you know what?
	I stand by my statement.
	I have a problem with people who get high and drive just like I do people who drink and drive.
	Is that a reasonable complaint?
	Yes.
	Especially when you understand that we don't have the ability to test for THC levels with roadside drug tests with alcohol.
	It's a lot easier with THC.
	It's Jordan fat.
	You'd have to do some kind of a plasma test.
	We haven't figured it out yet.
	In Colorado, marijuana-related traffic deaths They went up 62% following legalization.
	Workplace injuries went up.
	Six to 20% like the year after.
	And again, all the references are available.
	I'm just saying it's not something that is without harm.
	And if you have people out there simply trying to present to you, hey, what are we doing?
	It's safe.
	It's great.
	Do it.
	Okay.
	Maybe don't paint in such broad strokes.
	For the people who like so much to say everything is nuanced, I don't think that everything is nuanced.
	I think there's far less gray in the world than people want to let on.
	And the reason for that is because people want to be offensive or it's hard to say this is right.
	This is wrong.
	That being said, this is an issue where There are pros and there are cons.
	And unfortunately, the cons have been minimized by people who have a vested interest, by the way, in telling you that marijuana is harmless, whether they actually have a financially vested interest or a personally vested interest, because they don't want to acknowledge that there could be potentially any type of ill effects, either to themselves or to society at large.
	We have these petri dishes.
	We have some results.
	There's good and there's bad.
	I just don't think that people should be shut up as though they're in the pocket of Big Pharma if they say, you know what?
	There may be some bad.
	And I say this as somebody who would recommend people try small amounts of THC with a higher ratio of CBD if they have certain ailments.
	I would!
	I believe there's a use for it.
	I just don't like it when folks lie about it.
	I need an entire generation of kids who are going to think there's nothing wrong with it, it's just something that adults do, and when I hit that age it is completely safe and harmless.
	That's not true.
	Accurate.
	Absolutely.
	My dad's a cop in Vegas, and he told me he pulls over so many people, usually from California, he pulls over a lot of people DUI under marijuana, and they don't even know that they're breaking a law.
	Right.
	Which is crazy!
	Like, you didn't think... Dude, I... Look, I smoke a little weed, okay?
	And that's the reason why my Uber Eats bill is off the charts, because I'm like, don't... I'm not gonna have a few beers and drive, I'm not gonna have a few jokes and go... But somebody's gotta be pointing this stuff out.
	You gotta be able to point this out.
	Something else too, we have to allow for individual tolerance, by the way.
	Some people can have a very high tolerance to alcohol, and some people have zero tolerance to THC.
	Some people really don't.
	That's a fact.
	Not everyone responds the same way.
	Especially when it's something that's completely unregulated, where you could have somewhere from 5% THC to 90 in a vape pen.
	That's the difference between a Coors Light and a pint of Everclear.
	Or even an IPA, dude.
	You go that simple.
	An IPA and a Coors Light.
	Some people have different tolerances.
	You might have a high tolerance for marijuana and think, dude, I'm not high.
	Right.
	I function like this.
	Yeah, you do, but you're much slower and your reaction time's off and you're kind of an idiot.
	Yes.
	I mean, we just, like you said, we have to be able to have an honest conversation.
	As a Christian, I might surprise a lot of people out here.
	I would vote yes as well.
	Now, I would want some regulations in there.
	I would want to make sure that we have a society that says, because though I am pro-legalization, I am anti-pot.
	Right?
	I can have both positions.
	Yeah, definitely. As a Christian I could say like, well look, you know, scripturally it says all things are legal,
	but not everything is beneficial.
	Not everything is profitable. And it also says don't be mastered by anything. Don't let anything master you. That
	could be cake.
	That could be alcohol. That could be anything, right?
	So I would say those same, those principles are already there and in place to guide our behaviors. Right, right.
	I don't need a law necessarily taking away rights from everybody to make sure that I feel like those things are taken care of.
	And you know why I know that is because we've had laws in place for a very long time against marijuana, and it has done nothing to slow down the use of marijuana.
	You can't say- Well, it seems like it did slow it down because usage has gone up.
	In other words, once you legalize it, usage does go up.
	No, I'm meaning, like, so if you stopped marijuana from being legal back whenever they did that, I don't think the usage went down over time during it being illegal.
	Now, I know once you legalize it, you make it easier for people to get.
	Yeah.
	You're probably going to increase the usage somewhat.
	I get that.
	But it didn't it didn't take it from 100 to zero.
	Right.
	Right.
	It didn't accomplish the goal because it's illegal.
	It should never happen then.
	Right.
	Well, it still happened.
	And you could you could pretty much get any drug anywhere at any time.
	So tell me that the war on drugs is working.
	It's not.
	We're spending a lot of money on not doing it.
	I would have no problem with it.
	I would have no problem with people, if you were really harsh on crime, and really harsh on people driving under the influence, the problems it's tough to enforce.
	For example, I think open alcohol container laws in a car are complete horse crap.
	I think it's ridiculous.
	I think it should be whether you're inebriated or not.
	They used to have drive-through booze.
	Still do!
	They still do in New Orleans or in Louisiana, yeah.
	If you have a drink at a restaurant or you have an open beer, for example, but your blood alcohol level is effectively nothing, I think it's a BS law.
	I think it gave Moms Demand Action, Mothers Against Drunk Driving, more power than they deserved.
	I think the spirit of the law is you do not put other people at risk because of your bad decisions.
	And having an open bottle of whiskey because you're leaving a New Year's party and you didn't reseal it and put it in the trunk, you shouldn't give the police that kind of authority to pull you over.
	That being said, harsher penalties for DWI.
	Really quickly, go to CNN. I want to catch this lower third.
	I'm sorry. I'm sorry. The IDF, bad-a-mother-evers, right?
	So what they were basically saying is exploding pagers are killing Hezbollah members.
	Oh my God, that sucks for them, because they were so excited to finally have pagers.
	9-1-1, what does that mean?
	Literally, there's... Look, I'm sorry, but if you're a terrorist animal... There was a second.
	There was like a period of... There was a span of two seconds where that Hezbollah terrorist was really cool, like, I think I'm being beeped.
	Uh-oh.
	Looks like I need it.
	1,000 wounded.
	1,000 wounded.
	So if you're a Hezbollah piece of crap terrorist... Wait, did they do it to Hezbollah or to Hezbo...
	Blood to it.
	They did it to Hezbollah terrorists.
	Didn't Hezbollah wonder why they got a giant crate of three pagers?
	Oh, look at these pagers!
	Was it like the size of a suitcase?
	Now I need to find the payphone!
	I'm sorry, but that's a really creative way of... Can you imagine being like, well, how did he go?
	Pager.
	You know, that was... Khabib!
	Khabib!
	Look, it says 8008!
	You know that when someone took a flyer, they didn't want to spend so much money on it, so they didn't want to spring for the cell phone, like, alright, if you say they actually dig the pages, you have my blessing.
	Then they got called, like, a thousand wounded!
	No shit!
	Wow!
	There's a video.
	It's not graphic.
	Okay, alright, it's not graphic.
	Let's see it.
	I mean, you see it go off the guy with the bag right there in the lower corner.
	What the hell?
	Oh no!
	My dick!
	Oh!
	What the?
	I love how he rewinded!
	That guy checks him, he's like, I want to know his brand, so I avoid it.
	Ah, that's what I figured.
	It's a Motorola.
	They haven't worked out the kinks!
	You never get the first edition anything!
	This is like Law Abiding Citizen where they really want to get you, they're going to get you.
	It's like the exploding ink thing at Nordstrom's.
	Were they all doctors?
	Why do they have pagers?
	I gotta know more about this operation.
	How do they plan this?
	How do they distribute it?
	Oh my gosh.
	Free pagers, everybody.
	Here you go.
	And pretty much no one helps him.
	You ruined my dates!
	My figs!
	It's like in a movie where someone gets shot with special effects.
	Squibs.
	Squibs, yeah.
	Let me see it one more time.
	Yeah, definitely.
	We gotta hear it, too.
	He's a terrorist.
	I don't feel bad.
	I think he survived, so we're not reveling.
	Well, I had to full screen it Looking at limes
	What is he doing?
	Looks at him like, alright, he's fine guys, nothing to see here.
	This other guy's like, can I get a mandarin?
	Clean up on aisle four.
	Aw, he ruined the little cuties!
	Is there another one?
	is there another one?
	i'm checking guys i'm sorry because we're about to get into the uh...
	there is another one?
	Scott Kessler is at 1015 just FYI.
	and hey by the way we're not able to do any of this if you guys don't uh...
	join Mug Club to be clear That's why we're able to have these discussions and talk about not only abortion, but whether it's a popular opinion or not, you know exactly where your dollar goes.

	I was also buying Noodle's time to see if this video is super graphic.
	No, it's about the same.
	Is it as funny?
	Listen, hey, all we know is that these people walked away just fine and their backpack exploded and that was it.
	But these are Hezbollah people.
	No deaths.
	No deaths.
	But it's all Hezbollah.
	It's all Hezbollah.
	100% Hezbollah.
	100% Free Pager.
	Guilt free.
	Free Pager and Hezbollah man number two didn't see this coming.
	The alarm.
	I thought that was his pager.
	I did too.
	They ran into each other.
	Don't answer the second one!
	Does that guy have a phone unhooked because he's too cheap to pay for music?
	So he's like, I'll just use the call waiting line!
	Just as good!
	Hold on!
	My wife is paging me on my new pager!
	Ow!
	Let me call LA Fitness and tell them I'm canceling.
	It'll put me on hold for an hour.
	Oh, by the way, I forgot to tell you the big Mud Club Undercover story this Thursday.
	Yes, yes, yes.
	Very big story, one that will make your blood boil.
	I apologize, but it is necessary.
	And you can send your tips between now and election to lwctipsatprotonmail.com.
	We appreciate it.
	Let's go to this new story, Georgia.
	Georgia right now, there was a story recently First off, let's set this up.
	Democrats believe that abortion is the winning issue for them and the losing issue for Donald Trump.
	Okay, you can comment below as to whether you agree with that.
	I also understand that a lot of people have been brainwashed and don't actually understand what abortion is, what viability is, where we have the beginning of human life.
	These are questions that I think need to be asked for you to Actually have a valid opinion.
	For you to hold a valid opinion on abortion, you need to be able to answer when life begins.
	You need to be able to understand viability of a baby, both in and outside of the womb.
	And none of these qualifications require a vagina.
	I just want to be very clear because I'm a white male today.
	Well, you know what?
	I have an opinion on murder, on theft, on arson, and I don't apologize for my off-white penis.
	And you shouldn't.
	There's a new... I mean it's kind of more of a... It's a good color.
	A gradient taupe.
	New story!
	It's seen some sun lately.
	Out of Georgia is giving extra fuel to the left where this is the first preventable death that has taken place because of Donald Trump's abortion ban.
	That's how they're selling it.
	We'll get to the claims and truth.
	According to a new report from ProPublica out today, we know that these bans have also resulted in the death of at least two patients in Georgia.
	This initial reporting focuses on the story of just one of those two patients, Amber Thurman.
	She was a 28-year-old single mother of one.
	You can see a picture of her right there.
	She died on August 19, 2022.
	This is post-Roe America.
	Amber's story is post-Roe America.
	Today would have been Amber Thurman's 31st birthday.
	And she should have lived to see it.
	Okay, so we're going to go through all the claims, but listen to that right there.
	Single mother, then pregnant with twins.
	If you read the articles, she was considering or saying she was going to go back to nursing school.
	Didn't want to have children because, or more children, because of her newfound stability and apartment to which she moved into.
	So let's be really clear as to what it is that we're discussing here.
	There were several steps along the way to make more responsible decisions.
	Again, you can say that's, oh, it's not empathetic.
	I'm sorry.
	Sorry.
	We're at the point now where there's been enough time.
	It's 2024.
	Everyone has access to Google and knows how babies are made.
	Here's the claim.
	She died because Georgia would not perform the abortion.
	Trump and Kemp's abortion ban!
	Okay?
	Here's the truth.
	You can read the very next paragraph in any story where this has been posted.
	She was given abortion pills in North Carolina.
	At the time, North Carolina allowed abortions up to 20 weeks.
	North Carolina now allows abortion, in certain exceptions, up to 24 weeks, according to Planned Parenthood.
	For reference, here's a 21-week-old fetus born.
	Oh, they can be born.
	Yeah.
	So there's life.
	Yes.
	So we're no longer having a discussion about whether you're ending a life.
	Because there was, there were mass protests over saying, all right, let's just put limitations on 20 weeks.
	No, and now you can still do it up to 24 weeks, according to Planned Parenthood, if there are exceptions.
	Of course, you know, these exceptions become broader and broader.
	Here's another claim that they're making, and they're using this story To simply tug on your heart strings but not actually present the facts that matter.
	That this was a preventable death.
	This was a completely preventable death if not for the bed.
	Here's the truth.
	She was given the same treatment as anyone would have been.
	Seeking an abortion.
	Turns out, abortions have complications.
	That's the takeaway here.
	I would have never guessed trying to kill people inside an alive body would be complicated, but... The abortion medication, for example, it carries a risk of serious complications, just to be clear.
	You have been told that abortion is safe.
	It used to be safe, legal, rare.
	Now it's taxpayer-funded, on-demand, period.
	But it's never completely safe.
	And this is not novel.
	The only difference is they're saying, well, this woman had to travel from Jordan to North Carolina.
	Ask yourself, did they do anything differently?
	With this abortion?
	No, so it's not the state law.
	She went to the state where she could have the abortion.
	Here's another claim that they're making.
	If she could have gotten her abortion in Georgia sooner, this wouldn't have happened.
	Again, absolving people of any type of personal responsibility.
	Here's the truth.
	On the day of her procedure, an abortion procedure, she showed up late.
	It was scheduled, she showed up late, and so she was given pills because she missed her window.
	Given the pills that everyone else would be given, had the complications that many people have.
	Let's be really clear about this.
	So, okay, single mother...
	Of course, this is your issue, not hers.
	Didn't want to have more children.
	Seems like she had more sex.
	Okay, this is your issue, not hers.
	Didn't want to go through with it, so wanted to have an abortion, but the states wouldn't allow it.
	This is your issue, not hers.
	Had a scheduled abortion procedure, which, by the way, would be in a timeline that would have taken place if she lived in North Carolina herself anyway.
	Showed up late.
	Your issue, not hers.
	At what point do we start saying, hey, hey, it's not just the doctors, sweethearts, Let's have some personal responsibility.
	I know people get pissed off.
	No apologies for my penis.
	You realize that this is the behavior, I'm sorry, of children.
	Of children.
	And the problem is, real children are the ones who are being murdered.
	Look, there's been enough time.
	There's been enough time at this moment in time, in 2024, there's been enough time for people to figure out how to make responsible decisions in their sexual behaviors and to understand the ramifications of abortion procedures, okay?
	Sorry, at this point, and you know what?
	I don't think this can be fixed so long as there are enough, and I don't even just mean a plurality, a majority of women out there, and I know there are pro-life female activists, but guess what?
	You're not enough to correct the ranks of women right now in this country.
	You know what's never happened in the history of Western civilization?
	An issue like this that has progressively gotten more and more contentious being solved by women.
	Women can't come to agreement on it.
	You have women defending a woman going out and having promiscuous sex repeatedly, creating children without fathers, fatherless households, wanting to do it again, showing up late for an appointment, taking the pill that every single person would take if they were having said abortion being performed.
	There's nothing novel about this procedure.
	Complications had taken place and we're blaming it on Trump.
	You're children.
	People who make these arguments.
	And by the way, there were, I believe, and you guys can fact check me, somewhere around 30 to 35 other deaths from people who took this pill, not attributed to Donald Trump.
	Of course.
	Had complications.
	That year, in 2022.
	The death has nothing to do with the ban.
	Yeah.
	She went to a place where she had an abortion, performed in a facility, legally.
	She didn't have the procedure.
	She got the pills because she showed up late.
	Grow up!
	And not just this person.
	The women out there who clutch to abortion.
	Grow up!
	Maybe you'd make a fine adult.
	But we're not seeing it now.
	And I'm not saying that Donald Trump should go out and campaign on this.
	You guys can comment below.
	Are you a little tired of everyone having to tiptoe around and be nice about all of it?
	Hey, I don't know if you know this, but abortion always carries with it a risk of death 100% of the time.
	Yeah, unless it fails.
	Right.
	Well then you make the child comfortable and see what the parents want to do.
	Right.
	They got one thing right though, it was a preventable death.
	There was a lot of times she could have prevented this.
	Yep.
	The sex, the early noticing, getting there on time, you don't have to take the pill.
	Yep.
	Just be a mom.
	Yep.
	Show up on time.
	She got the same abortion care that she would have if she was in any state.
	Oh, she had to drive four hours.
	The humanity.
	So let's walk through this.
	You can't be expected to understand how contraception or abstinence works.
	You cannot be expected to understand the ramifications of abortion.
	And you cannot be expected, as a woman, to drive three to four hours and show up on time.
	Hey, tell me again about mansplaining.
	Why do you think men sometimes treat women, namely liberal women, like they're children?
	You know why?
	Because so many of them are okay with killing children.
	And I'm sorry, this problem's not going to be solved.
	Women, you've had enough time?
	It's going to take men out there at this point.
	You know what?
	You have to be super prudent with your sexual behavior.
	Because you're on the hook no matter what.
	Women are not willing to have this quote-unquote civil war amongst themselves.
	They're not.
	You have a few pro-life activists who are doing great work, but I'm telling you...
	In Western civilization right now, in the United States of America, there are not enough women who can stand up and correct this problem.
	And I get it, there are some young women, there are some women who are lied to because of the abortion lobbyists, and they don't actually know what is going on.
	That's not the case the majority of the time in 2024.
	You have people who know that it is the termination of a life, and they can't be bothered with it anyway, with the responsibility.
	This is legislating a complete lack of accountability.
	And this story is a perfect example of it, and the media still, because they really don't have the examples that they claim they have, all the back alley coat hanger abortions.
	The example they have is a woman who traveled four hours late for an appointment and had the same abortion medication given to her that would be given to any woman who would be taking abortion medication.
	That's Donald Trump's fault.
	Are you starting to see The projection, the gaslighting.
	That's why you're made to apologize for your genitals, men.
	Because you know what?
	This issue takes some people with balls to stand up and say, ah, okay, we've kind of, we've crossed the Rubicon now.
	I said it like an English person.
	The Rubicon.
	Scheduled.
	It also takes a lot of balls to claim that she died because of a lack of abortion, when in fact she died because of the abortion.
	Right.
	It takes balls to spin that that way.
	Well, you know, if it wasn't for Trump, she wouldn't have had to drive to North Carolina and drive back.
	Like she's deep sea diving and gonna deal with the bends, some kind of decompression sickness.
	She's driving across state lines a couple of hours and she was still late.
	And she got the pills!
	What are the pills, different in Georgia?
	Yeah, exactly.
	These are the same.
	You can read the medications that have been taken.
	And I'm sorry, look, I just think, I can tell you this as someone who has conducted Change My Minds, Many, many, many times.
	I mean, you're talking about dozens of women.
	Had a fetal development chart.
	Where's the line?
	Not one!
	Not one!
	Said, all right, okay, 22 weeks.
	It's a baby.
	It's got a brain, got a heart, beating fingers, nails.
	No, there was one person who was pro-abortion, who had had an abortion, and went to a university, and came on this show, I believe it was two weeks later, saying, you know what, I had to think about it, and I actually regret it, and she had now become pro-life.
	But as far as that fetal chart, and this is when people go, you know, these women are lied to.
	Nope!
	Here's a fetal chart.
	Where's your line?
	Not one.
	I get it, not a huge sample size, just maybe 40 to 60 people?
	And then look at the voting bloc?
	We expect to have a country that is governed by the people who look at a fetal development chart and not one is willing to say, that's the limit?
	You know who else won't give you a limit?
	Kamala Harris, Elizabeth Warren, Hillary Clinton.
	They've been asked point blank, no limits whatsoever.
	Abortions are being performed at 5, 6, 7 months to the tens of thousands in this country.
	The low end is 10,000.
	The low end is $10,000.
	That's a lean year for late-term abortions.
	And people want to tiptoe around it because, oh my gosh, you might piss off suburban white women.
	Well, guess what?
	Don't care.
	And it's worth mentioning, Georgia, by the way, is no stranger to aborting twins.
	You just had an abortion?
	Twins?
	Twins.
	Yeah, double homicide.
	F*** not.
	It's not as funny as it read on paper, but it's still kind of funny.
	That's true!
	Because it's true.
	Yes.
	And I'm all about, look, personal responsibility, right?
	We talked about this.
	There has to be the personal responsibility here.
	And stop with, I don't know what got into our culture and started infecting it saying, you can do whatever you want consequence-free.
	And then you can turn a blind eye, like you're saying, people not willing to put down a line on that and say, no, no, no, no, no, none of those are babies, because if those are babies, then I have to start making decisions in a responsible fashion.
	Because I can't just go out and have an abortion anytime I want.
	Even if it's six weeks, even if it's five weeks, whatever.
	Even if it's the morning after, right?
	Any of those situations, all you have to do is have more personal responsibility and more regard for life and you avoid it.
	And our culture right now preaches the exact opposite.
	Yep.
	We've got your back.
	We'll give you money.
	Don't worry about it.
	You know what you didn't hear in there?
	Dads.
	That woman had a child, and look, it's sad that somebody lost their life, okay?
	Of course!
	But, they made a lot of really bad decisions to get there, and so you can't trumpet this as a case of, oops, this is Donald Trump's fault, didn't happen on her watch, wasn't her fault, right?
	Yeah.
	This person had a child, didn't have a dad in the home.
	I don't know if this was the same father of the first child that gave her twins.
	Take a guess.
	I doubt it.
	He's probably dancing like he's on Mari right now.
	I know, but what I'm saying, right now, women, Men, you've got to start making decisions and being responsible.
	That is the call that Steven is making.
	Be an adult.
	You have to do it.
	And look, if, if, if women are going to be lied to and not do this, and I say lied to meaning like culturally, not about abortion, they're not being lied to about abortion.
	They're choosing to not look at that and go, that's a child.
	I agree a hundred percent, but I think they're being lied to saying you can do whatever you want.
	Consequence free in life, because every single teenager right now is being told that when we were teenagers, we were being told that those chickens are coming home to roost essentially men.
	Stop having sex with them!
	You're not absolved of responsibility in this situation as well.
	Stop!
	No, in fact, they'll blame you for it.
	Yes, exactly.
	They'll blame you.
	You got her pregnant.
	She consented.
	You did it, though.
	They'll blame you, and then they'll blame Governor Kemp and Donald Trump.
	Hey, look, feminists.
	You can't blame men for women having to get abortions according to yourself, and then tell the men you blame that they're not allowed to have an opinion.
	Nowhere else does this take place.
	Oh, really?
	You're white?
	And you think, really?
	Well, you know what?
	You could have an opinion on slavery when I see some more melanin in your skin.
	No!
	It required people in charge who were responsible to say, hey, this is wrong.
	Slavery is wrong.
	We got to stop it.
	If you're not black, no opinion.
	Hey, even if wherever you light up on the women's Suffrage, the right to vote.
	I know there's split opinions out there.
	It took men to go, alright, come on, let's make sure they can vote!
	Hey, I don't know if you know this, men were the ones who legislated domestic violence laws against women.
	Men were the ones who created consequences for infidelity or physical abuse.
	In marriages.
	Adapted those laws!
	This is still a problem right now.
	It's going to have to be solved by men.
	I know women don't like hearing that, but guess what?
	We don't like being blamed for your decisions.
	Hey, here's the issue.
	It's like, a man can make a mistake.
	Here's a problem.
	It robs men out there of redemption.
	A man can maybe go out and not use protection and say, I wasn't responsible.
	But once upon a time, you'd step up and you'd have to do the right thing.
	You either marry the woman, you become a dad.
	If this man says, you know what?
	I feel convicted.
	I need to make better decisions.
	Baby's dead anyway.
	You have no say in it.
	And you gotta live with that guilt.
	I guarantee you.
	Yeah.
	Yep.
	No vagina, no opinion.
	Alright.
	Thank God people didn't say that when you got the vote.
	Thank God people didn't say that when slavery was ended.
	Bunch of white guys.
	Bunch of good white guys.
	There were bad white guys.
	Took some white guys who were good in power.
	At this point in this country, sorry.
	Sorry.
	Women, you've had a say in this and you've silenced people with penises.
	Because I know you can't say men.
	People with penises.
	You've silenced people with penises for too long and you haven't been able to solve your own issues on this.
	And now you're blaming Donald Trump for a woman Who had unprotected sex for at least the second time.
	I'm willing to bet quite a bit more than that.
	Who couldn't be bothered to drive a few hours on time for the abortion procedure.
	And this is the story that's being used to say we need to federally legalize abortion all the way up until and including birth period with no exceptions?
	Okay.
	Color me a person with a penis and a lack of compassion then at that point because I think we are way too far gone.
	Comment below.
	You can let me know if you think I'm out of line.
	I don't think that this is something that Donald Trump should campaign on.
	He's already made his answers clear.
	This is just my opinion.
	Alright.
	Speaking of Trump.
	Speaking of Trump.
	An attempt.
	Yes.
	I don't know if you know this.
	There's been an attempt.
	Maybe.
	On Donald Trump's life.
	But now, they're actually really... And I'll tell you why I think this is happening.
	There it is right now.
	It's apparent.
	Oh, look.
	There you go.
	This guy.
	It's right there.
	Apparent Trump assassination attempt.
	We need everybody from around the globe to stop what they're doing and come here now.
	I think more emotional for me is... Yeah, we played that yesterday.
	Okay, we played that yesterday.
	So, I'll tell you why they're downplaying this.
	Why?
	Because Donald Trump saw a huge bump last time someone tried to take his life.
	Right?
	People kind of, they were galvanized, they coalesced around him.
	They don't want that to happen right now.
	And they feel like they have an out because, ooh, there wasn't a bullet fired yet.
	So, what are they doing?
	Now, they're already trying to set a narrative to downplay this, because my god, this is a very fragile ecosystem as it relates to the election, and anything that may tip things in Donald Trump's favor could be catastrophic goodnight sweet prince.
	So during a press conference, the Secret Service actually gave you some of these further details on assassination attempt of four plots, number two.
	As former President Trump was moving through the Fifth Fairway, across the course, and out of sight of the Sixth Green, the agent, who was visually sweeping the area of the Sixth Green, saw the subject, armed with what he perceived to be a rifle, and immediately discharged his firearm.
	The subject, who did not have line of sight to the former president, fled the scene.
	He did not fire or get off any shots.
	Yeah, you know who didn't have a line of sight too?
	Lee Harvey Oswald.
	has immediately hopped on by media, I mean the left, but I repeat myself. The phrase
	line of sight, didn't have a line of sight! Didn't have a line of sight! Here you go,
	here's a collage, all references available for you. It's now in the headlines. Did not
	have a line of sight! Yeah. Apparent Trump assassination plot, we say apparent because
	he didn't have a line of sight. Yeah, you know who didn't have a line of sight too?
	Lee Harvey Oswald. Until he did.
	Sounds like a good job by the Secret Service to me.
	Yes, they did a good job.
	Donald Trump, just because he was out of sight, he was about to be on the sixth tee box.
	In sight.
	He was about to be on the sixth fairway, if he had a good tee shot.
	In sight.
	He was about to be on the sixth green.
	Really close and in sight.
	Yeah.
	And this guy had been waiting for a long time with, from what we understand, armored plates to protect himself.
	We don't have all the details because they don't want to release all the details.
	We also still don't know how, beyond the fact that of course the Secret Service can't handle a sloped roof, how that man got so close.
	We don't have those details either.
	But this is now what's going, you know, it's catching on like wildfire on social media.
	Here's someone with 408,000 views on an ex-post.
	And just like that, Trump's narrative gets debunked.
	The suspect never shot any bullets and never had a line of sight to Trump.
	It wasn't an assassination attempt.
	Time for the media to move on.
	Here's someone else, angry staffer with 847,000 views.
	No shots fired!
	Never had line of sight to presumptive target.
	At this point, calling us an attempted assassination is like calling egging someone's house an attempted omelette.
	Okay, allow me to disagree because the man had a rifle and was planning on killing him!
	A little bit different from egging someone's house.
	Remember, these are the same people who told you that Donald Trump wasn't shot the right way.
	It could have been a piece of glass from a prompter, which we now know is not true.
	He was barely injured, so just move on.
	Just move on.
	In other words, they only want to make a story of it when this man is dead, which, oh, first they'll go back to what they want in the first place.
	Who would you call it if you caught some kids and bicycles in front of the house with cartons of eggs?
	Call them eggers.
	You'd call it an attempted omelette.
	Especially if it's in Arizona.
	That's a hot place.
	They're doing like this.
	They got the egg in their hand, but they're not trying to egg your house, apparently.
	They're just there holding the egg in that frozen position that makes no sense whatsoever.
	You made a point that made me think of something.
	You said he'd been there a long time.
	I think people say that he was there for like 12 hours.
	I don't know if that's true.
	Can we fact check that research?
	Because I want to make sure.
	Here's the other part to that.
	From everything that I have heard, this was an unscheduled golf round.
	How in the world would this guy know 12 hours in advance about this?
	And you can say, Oh, well, he saw Donald Trump going to the golf course.
	Nope.
	Six holes does not take 12 hours to play.
	Six holes probably takes you about an hour, maybe 45 minutes to an hour and 15 minutes.
	How in the world did this guy know to be there at that time to do this?
	Now, if there's information about this that it was a scheduled trip, then okay, fine, then that explains it.
	But everything I had heard was this was not a scheduled round, that this was publicly available information.
	Well, these same people who are... Sorry, Joshua.
	This guy does this every Sunday.
	Yeah, exactly.
	It wasn't planned at all.
	Oh, come on.
	That's my plan.
	Couple of beers, armored plates along the fence line.
	I watch people with my scope.
	The point here is that this is, look, this is absolutely the byproduct of the rhetoric of accusing Donald Trump of being Hitler and a fascist, where people, this man said, we need to take him out because he's a threat to democracy, to be very clear.
	And so what they want to do now is say, this is an attempt to say, oh, there goes Donald Trump.
	Drama queen.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, he has to bob and weave bullets when he leaves his house.
	But, you know, hey, what happened with the victim blaming?
	Oh, that's right.
	If someone dresses like a prostitute and a man thinks that they perhaps may be alluding to the idea that they're open to sexual activity, that's victim blaming.
	But it's not victim blaming when a man is shot!
	To say that it's his own damn fault.
	Case in point, by the way, Hillary Clinton.
	Last night she was on Rachel Maddow, Hillary Clinton, who by the way is looking more and more like Simon Birch, and she... Uncanny.
	Uncanny.
	She said this.
	I don't understand why it's so difficult for the press to have a consistent narrative about
	how dangerous Trump is.
	Well, the object in this case is Donald Trump, his demagoguery, his danger to our country and the world.
	And stick with it.
	We can't go back and give this very dangerous man another chance to do harm to our country and the world.
	And then of course they asked Donald Trump to tone down his rhetoric.
	Let's be really clear about what's taking place right here.
	The level of... It's no wonder the left always likes to use the term of narcissist and everyone is a serial abuser because that's exactly what they are.
	They're serial abusers.
	On air.
	They said it.
	The media should do what I say.
	Yes, and by the way, they're also at the same time trying to blame Donald Trump and Vance for, and just so you know, um, I'll just, sorry, I'm gonna have to kind of spoiler, uh, they're not real, the bomb threats, uh, but they were blaming Vance and Donald Trump for the bomb threats that we believed at one point in Springfield.
	And now to the firestorm surrounding Springfield, Ohio, which has everything to do with this campaign.
	A city thrust now into the political spotlight after baseless rumors and false allegations spread online about Haitian immigrants who are here legally claiming they are eating pets in that city.
	We are learning of new bomb threats today.
	There, on Friday, a bomb scare forced two elementary schools to evacuate.
	Springfield's mayor now saying, quote, we need help, not hate.
	This is a reference to those unproven allegations now being amplified by Donald Trump and his running mate J.D.
	Vance in the race for the White House.
	Now you probably heard that, or you heard Dana Bash when she interviewed, I say interviewed, Badger, J.D.
	Vance, blaming him for the bomb threats, right?
	You know, let's show that one.
	Can you show the J.D.
	Vance one?
	Let's show a really short clip because, spoiler, again, they weren't real.
	But go ahead.
	I'm not talking about the policies.
	I'm not talking about the very real challenges that Springfield has.
	I'm talking about baseless rumors about Haitians eating dogs and cats.
	And that, after that was said on a debate stage, that is when these bomb threats started.
	And that is a fact.
	So you heard, bomb threat, bomb threat, bomb threat, just like you heard, piece of glass from a prompter, no bullet wound on Donald Trump, just like you hear, no line of sight, you don't hear the other details, right?
	But what you probably didn't know, unless you pay attention and watch the show, and we appreciate you for tuning in, and that's why we appreciate the support from Mug Club, because we're not beholden to engagement farming, is the Ohio governor said that actually all of the bomb threats, all of them, were hoaxes coming from a foreign country.
	At least 33 separate bomb threats, each one of which has been responded to.
	And each one of whom has been found as a hoax.
	So, 33 threats, 33 hoaxes.
	I want to make that very, very clear.
	None of these had any validity at all.
	We have people, unfortunately, overseas who are All right, so there you go.
	And by the way, they should have been tipped off when they phoned in both a bomb threat and an order for broccoli beef.
	Right now, on CNN, they're saying, patrolling troopers, patrolling Springfield schools after 30-plus bomb threats.
	They're keeping the lie alive right now!
	No mention of them being hoaxes and coming from overseas.
	Right.
	None.
	Who are they thinking that it's coming from, though?
	I don't understand the rhetoric.
	I don't understand where the blame is going.
	Yeah, yeah, it's Trump advances, fall for Amplified.
	Right.
	Well, who do they think is making the bomb?
	Are they saying it's the Haitians?
	They want to say it's radical right-wingers.
	Radical right-wingers who are inspired by... Are bomb-threatening schools full of white, black, and Asian kids?
	Yeah.
	I don't really get it.
	It doesn't make sense.
	Well, that's their argument.
	Maybe I should get rid of the migrants.
	Yeah.
	Ah!
	So here's what we actually do know.
	That this person, of course, was noted as a criminal, a person of interest, a rap sheet, a mile long.
	This is someone who was radicalized because they were absorbing non-stop the rhetoric of Donald Trump.
	I mean, just to give you an idea, this is just recently.
	Let's just use this article, a recent article.
	There's so many of them.
	This is from the New Republic, okay?
	This magazine cover directly linking Trump to Hitler.
	It says, today we at the New Republic think we can spend this election year in one of two ways.
	We can spend it debating whether Trump meets the nine or seventeen points that define fascism, or we can spend it saying he's damn close enough and we better fight.
	Let me ask you this.
	Would it not be the moral thing to do to kill Hitler?
	What if he meant 9 or 17 of the points that define a fascist?
	When you tell someone that this man is a genocidal maniac who's going to destroy democracy, those who are slightly unstable, of course, are more likely to commit violence.
	The moral quandary of would you kill baby Hitler is only a quandary because Hitler's a baby.
	No one says, would you kill adult Hitler if you could?
	Because the answer is yes!
	Every single time, yes!
	Adult Hitler!
	Every single day, twice on Sunday.
	And you know how I know?
	The left is more unhinged than the right as far as their violent nature.
	We're going to go to our guests in a second.
	We just covered it on this show.
	You have science that makes it clear as to where life begins, and you have science that makes it clear as to where a baby is viable outside of the womb, and you have people killing said babies to the tune of tens of thousands a year, and you have Christian, fundamentalist, right-wing extremists out there who believe that that is the termination of a life, and they are still Not trying to kill people in record numbers.
	Conservatives are a lot nicer.
	Some may argue too nice.
	That's not a call to violence, to be very clear!
	When the left is calling to violence based on a myth, Donald Trump-Hitler, and the right isn't acting on violence based on the truth that babies are dying to the tune of tens of thousands a year, that's how you know you have two different worldviews.
	That's how you know that, hey, hey, left, hey, hey, hey, today's left, maybe you're the bad guys.
	All right.
	Speaking of, well, good guys, actually.
	This guy, you met him when you were at the RNC, I believe, in Milwaukee, and he's doing a lot of great work.
	Phenomenal work.
	Maybe single-handedly could tip the scales in favor of Donald Trump in the state of Pennsylvania.
	You can follow him on X at Scott Pressler, and he also has the website EarlyVoteAction.com.
	Let's welcome to the show, Scott Pressler.
	Mr. Pressler, I'm sorry that we were late, sir.
	Can you see and hear us?
	Yes, I can.
	Thank you so much for having me.
	Absolutely.
	Well, I know the work that you've been doing, and actually, if you don't mind, I'd like to show a clip for the audience, for people who are not super familiar, because I know that you'll have a lot of them go to earlyvoteaction.com.
	I think we have a clip really quickly for those who are new to Scott, where he's doing work in swing states like Pennsylvania.
	Hey everybody, this is Scott Pressler.
	Oh my gosh, I'm here in Pike County in Milford outside of the post office.
	We just set up a Trump table and the people, if you build it, they will come.
	We are registering voters.
	We are giving out Trump signs.
	The energy is electric.
	People are hanking.
	They're coming around.
	We just registered a guy that moved here from Colorado and he's coming to Pennsylvania, helping to save our country.
	We can do this.
	The energy is on our side.
	The momentum, the passion.
	That's right, baby!
	Let's go!
	Let's go!
	We're gonna do this, guys, so give it your all.
	Give it these next two months.
	Do everything you can to save our country.
	Let's win Pennsylvania.
	Deliver it for Donald J. Trump.
	Let's go!
	And Scott, I wanted to ask because I, you know, obviously I work in this so people are coming up all the time on my radar.
	And I know you came up with social media, but a lot of people sort of come up as social media influencers and then they fizzle out and they don't really do anything.
	It's, you know, just outrage porn.
	And you actually, you know, took the opportunity and started doing something quantifiable.
	Can you explain for people out there kind of how you came into this and what it is that you do now?
	Thank you.
	Well, I got my start in Texas helping to elect Governor Greg Abbott, and so I've been doing this for a decade, but I think people really came to know my story in 2019 when President Trump was talking about the city of Baltimore, Maryland.
	I'm the guy that went into the city and we picked up 12 tons of trash with 200 volunteers in one singular day.
	And I think that put me on their radar because they thought, oh my gosh, this guy actually does something.
	Yes, we're pointing out a problem, trash in the city of Democrat decay and their policies, but we're going to roll up our sleeves and do something positive about it.
	And I think now people are really understanding how important voter registration is.
	And so today, Stephen, is National Voter Registration Day.
	And I want every single one of your Louder With Crowder followers, please, check your voter status today.
	After you're done listening to Stephen, type into the internet, Pennsylvania, check voter status.
	Texas, check voter status.
	Make sure that you're an active voter.
	Registered at your current address, and in a state like Pennsylvania, Florida, Arizona, with your preferred party.
	So if you want to vote this November, especially for Donald Trump, then make sure that you're an active voter.
	But it was really Baltimore that launched me, Stephen, and now I'm focused on delivering Pennsylvania for Donald J. Trump.
	Well, let me ask you this though, because you said Texas, but I detect a Midwestern accent there.
	Yeah, well, I'm actually moving to Pennsylvania just to vote for Donald Trump.
	And so I've spent a lot of time in Wisconsin and Ohio and Pennsylvania.
	But yes, I purchased property in PA because I want people to know how dedicated I am to the cause.
	Do you say roof or do you say roof?
	It depends where I am.
	Yeah, you walk into the wrong bar in Wisconsin, you say roof, it stops like the old El Paso commercials.
	New York City!
	Let me ask you this.
	Tell us more about Pennsylvania because that, you know, a lot of people are saying it could come down to Pennsylvania specifically.
	I know there's a, obviously, is it Averson, Pennsylvania?
	Is a place where you've been doing some work that specific town?
	Tell people out there or educate them on kind of the consequences of Pennsylvania and the difference that people like you can make.
	Well, let's break down the numbers for a second.
	2020 was decided by 80,000 votes.
	I want you guys to remember that number, 80,000.
	So my contention is that there are more of us, more freedom lovers, than there are the liberals.
	And so my goal isn't necessarily persuasion or conversion.
	It's just to get our people out to vote.
	There are 80,000 truckers, Steven, in Pennsylvania.
	Truckers are driving on Election Day.
	They're busy serving us, the American people.
	And so my organization, EarlyVoteAction.com, we're trying to get truckers that may not be home on Election Day, vote by mail.
	Vote early.
	Lock in your votes.
	Next, we have our beautiful Amish in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.
	These people are pro-school choice, pro-family, pro-raw milk, and Josh Shapiro, the Democrat governor, is actually waging a war on farmers' dairy and raw milk.
	And so we are supporting the Amish to vote.
	Now, here's something that people don't know.
	The Amish, Stephen, get married on Tuesdays in November.
	What happens on Tuesdays in November?
	Election day!
	And so we have been making a concerted effort to get the Amish to vote by mail, and we're seeing those numbers translate that Republicans have out-requested the Democrats in terms of mail-in voting in Huntington County and in Mifflin County where we have big Amish populations.
	And two last points that I really want to make is, one, Veterans, Pennsylvania is home to the fourth largest veteran community in the entire country.
	And veterans do not take kindly to stolen Valor Timewalls, nor do they take kindly to Kamala Harris attacking Gold Star families.
	And the last most important point is there are 930,000 hunters in Pennsylvania.
	30% of Pennsylvania hunters are not registered to vote.
	That's the election.
	Forty percent of Wisconsin hunters are not registered to vote.
	That's the election.
	Yep.
	No, you're absolutely right.
	It's a game of inches, and unfortunately there are too many people who are ambivalent about it.
	But I wanted to ask you this about the Amish.
	I know that in some Amish communities, many of them don't vote.
	Is that something that you've run up against because, you know, they believe more in self-governance and not engaging politically?
	And how do the communities differ?
	Because not all Amish people are the same.
	Correct.
	So some differ.
	We have some members of the Amish community that are being bad and kind of defying their bishops and voting anyway.
	Right.
	Okay.
	I think they understand the significance and the gravity of the situation, but I've spent a lot of time with our Amish and Mennonites and listen, these are peaceful people that they believe their time here on earth is ultimately to get to the heavenly kingdom.
	And so when I'm talking to them and they don't want to vote, I use language, for example, do not be so heavenly minded that you are no earthly good.
	And I'm trying to put into perspective to them that while we're here on this earth, we must use our time to stop human suffering, to make life better for people.
	And furthermore, I've spoken to some Amish that are vehemently opposed to voting because they believe that the commander in chief is the person that can start war.
	And when I say, listen, President Trump is the peace president.
	It was under his administration.
	We didn't have new wars.
	And so if you, I understand your religious beliefs.
	I understand that you want peace.
	There is no better way then to to make your voice heard and vote for peace by voting to
	elect Donald Trump because we want to to have global peace through strength.
	And when I talk about those things with the Amish we're seeing them register in
	record numbers.
	But how often do you get the answer like, well pretty wise for a city boy but cut your
	hair and grow a beard? You know I've actually been better accepted with my
	cowboy boots and my long hair and this pretty boy face than I have by liberals
	The Amish have been nicer to me than many liberals, shockingly.
	Yeah, that doesn't surprise me.
	There used to be a comedy club in Lancaster, Pennsylvania.
	It was part of a hotel.
	It was one of the first not-so-great gigs that I did.
	I was worried because I had some Amish jokes back then, but they probably wouldn't show up anyway.
	I'm assuming that paper ballots is what they would be using.
	The Amish.
	Yes, well, we have paper ballots in Pennsylvania.
	Not everybody has voting machines.
	And so that's the beauty of a mail-in ballot.
	We are using the tool of the Democrat, a mail-in ballot, to get the Amish registered and get them to vote by mail.
	And it may very well be the Democratic mail-in ballot that saves Western civilization via our raw milk Amish.
	And that would just be beautiful and iconic.
	Yes.
	I know you've gotten some flack for that because people obviously... I am against mass mail-in voting, but I also understand if it exists there.
	Absentee is different.
	And of course, people are getting married that Tuesday.
	That's... I mean, it's poor timing.
	But I also understand, you know, you can't question the divine.
	But yes, at that point in Pennsylvania, use the tools that you have available to you.
	And I really do appreciate the work that you're doing there.
	You know, we've tried to focus on these key states, and on election night we will have boots on the ground in every single Major city in the key swing states, and maybe we'll be able to touch base with you.
	I'm sure you'll be on the ground in Pennsylvania.
	Before we go, because I know we've run late, Scott, tell people the best place to go and take action.
	Thank you.
	Well, first, I invite you, Stephen, on November 2nd is the last Penn State University football game.
	We would love for you to come to Center County, Pennsylvania.
	People can visit my website, which is EarlyVoteAction.com.
	That's EarlyVoteAction.com.
	I have a state director.
	I have 40 staff.
	If you want me to hire more staff, then please contribute financially at EarlyVoteAction.com.
	Absolutely.
	Now, I know nothing about football, but Gerald is a Notre Dame guy, and I assume that they are rivals, Gerald?
	Eh, we don't really play Penn State all that often.
	Oh, okay.
	All right.
	That's okay.
	Well, if I were to show up, they'd probably beat me.
	It'd be an iconic game, trust me.
	The Penn State home games are insane.
	All right.
	Well, I'll consider it.
	I need to learn the names, positions, and the team, because I know nothing about it.
	But, Scott Pressler, thank you much for your work.
	We'll check back in with you before election, and hopefully have some positive updates for us.
	Hey, thank you, Steven.
	Thanks, Dad.
	Absolutely.
	Scott Pressler, everybody.
	I'm sorry, and I don't mean to... I think I got it.
	Did he just say thanks dad?
	Thanks for having me, I think, real fast.
	Have, have, dad, have, have.
	It's not like the N-word thing that we had earlier where we couldn't really make the word sound right.
	No, I don't mind being his dad.
	No, I'm just saying, like, he didn't say thanks daddy or anything like that.
	It was, I think, thanks for having me.
	It sounded like thanks dad.
	I mean, that's fine.
	It's actually very, it's very complimentary.
	I wouldn't be like, and you're a disappointment.
	Cut your hair and get a job.
	I should have never come back from those cigarettes.
	No.
	It sounded like thanks, Dad.
	I think it did sound like that.
	I think maybe he watched the show and was making it for you to slip joke.
	Well, and I know that we were running late.
	That's what I like to think.
	He seems like a pretty cool, fun guy.
	Yeah.
	Oh, wait.
	Is he still on?
	He just called me Poppy.
	Okay.
	I think it sounds like that's actually what he meant.
	We actually have some updates here regarding Mug Club, but we do need to go there if you can click that button.
	Gerald, you had some updates?
	Yeah, we're going to get there.
