	Hi, I'm Nicolas Cage.
	Hey, Nicholas!
	Or should I say Mr.
	Cage?
	Yeah, which do you prefer?
	You can just call me Nick or Nicholas or Nicky.
	Okay, well, Nicky.
	I don't know what to say.
	You spend too much.
	It's that simple.
	Why are you here?
	Well, we are your accountants, and we actually have to review some purchases with you.
	Look, we get the cars, the Gulfstream jet, even.
	But see, like, here, there's this.
	There's castles.
	With an S. Yeah, plural.
	Castles.
	You're a number cruncher.
	Just crunch the goddamn numbers.
	We look like Houdini.
	Yeah, no one can clean this up.
	Describe it.
	I can't remember.
	I don't know what that means.
	Okay, um, yachts, cobras, shrunken heads, islands, again, multiple islands.
	A dinosaur skull?
	Yep, dinosaur skull.
	Like...
	Give me a million dollars?
	That's not how this works.
	Do you even know what taxes are, Mr.
	Cage?
	I don't think he knows what taxes are.
	No.
	Is there anything else that we should know or you want to tell us?
	I stole the Declaration of Independence.
	Imagine that.
	You know what?
	We're gonna refer you to Tax Network USA because I don't think we can help you and maybe you should look for ways to cut back in the future on spending.
	I wash my face with three kinds of soap.
	Each smelling like a different season.
	And you smell lovely, Mr.
	Cage, but let's try and stick with one from now on.
	Yeah, and don't forget, Tax Network USA. Yeah, I think they'll actually be able to take care of you, really from stem to stern.
	They're experts and much more capable in this scenario of handling your needs, plural.
	Here.
	He's not, though, uh, I don't know what to do with that.
	Uh, Doris, uh, could you send in the bees?
	No, not the bees!
	Not the bees!
	Don't let the IRS take advantage of you.
	Contact Tax Network USA for immediate relief and expert guidance.
	You can call 1-800-245-6000 or visit TNUSA.com slash Crowder.
	To every citizen who's sick and tired of the parasitic political class in Washington.
	Donald Trump is a great threat to our democracy.
	That sucks our country of its blood and treasure.
	Would you have done something differently than President Biden?
	There is not a thing that comes to mind.
	November 5th will be your liberation day.
	November 5th, this year, will be the most important day in the history of our country.
	Because we're not going to have a country anymore if we don't win.
	We had 17 million people who watched the election stream in 2020.
	You were here with us.
	Between now and election, it's a sprint.
	Not just for a national election, it's a sprint for the spirit of this country and your ability to choose what you watch, who you support, and the mere ability to speak.
	There's no guarantee to free speech.
	You can't just spew disinformation.
	With the swipe of my pen, I've charged you with a crime.
	The left is constantly engaged in foul play, but their first choice would be to not have to cheat, right?
	To do it with lies by omission, by using media bias, by throttling searches, right?
	By flat-out censoring searches, as we've seen from Google and YouTube, as we've seen with Facebook and Meta in the past.
	There is no scenario where we approve a platform that has Steven Crowder, Alex Jones, or the like.
	It's lie, lie, lie, cheat.
	We all know who Donald Trump is.
	He will be a dictator on day one.
	Dictator.
	Nazi imagery.
	Adolf Hitler.
	Hitler.
	Hitler.
	As I was saying...
	But when they don't work, they do have some Hail Marys that involve blatant cheating.
	They rigged an election.
	They rigged it like they've never rigged an election before.
	We're in that last lie phase.
	He's the essence of threat to our democracy.
	I took a bullet for democracy.
	Project 2025.
	20-25.
	Project 2025.
	Project 2025.
	I don't know anything about it.
	On January 6th, you told your supporters to march to the Capitol.
	And all hell was unleashed.
	Peacefully and patriotically.
	Make your voices heard.
	The poly markets trend.
	14 points.
	Wow.
	The good news is progress is being made.
	The bad news is that our DOJ doesn't want it to happen.
	I think what you are seeing is them trying to make sure that they can keep this lie alive.
	That's when you can expect some kind of cheating.
	And that's why we are gearing up for the election livestream of the century.
	November 5th, we will have the live electoral integrity map.
	No one will have the data.
	No one will have the ability that we have on that night to call, dispute states, and let you know everything that is going on across this country.
	If there is any foul play whatsoever, huge undertaking.
	If you want to see that, you want to be here with us, there's no reason to tune in anywhere else that night.
	The election livestream of the century.
	Imagine dominoes falling in every state with corruption.
	November 5th, this year, will be the most important day in the history of our country.
	And we will make America great again.
	The election livestream of the century, November 5th, 2024.
	Be there with us.
	fight like hell.
	music
	Good morning, good morning.
	No sip for you.
	The other guy does the sip thing.
	And by the other guy, I mean Stephen Crowder, who will be back in this chair tomorrow.
	Actually, right now, he is preparing to dive on the Titanic.
	He bought Ocean Gate and thinks he can turn it around.
	So we will keep you guys posted on his attempt.
	Better be recording that.
	Yeah, he's made some improvements.
	Okay, good.
	Necessary.
	Made it waterproof.
	He's using a PlayStation controller now.
	Oh!
	That is proprietary information, sir, and you should not be giving it out, but we have a fantastic show for you today.
	Let's hit him with the rundown.
	Tim, tool man.
	Ben Stiller, you know, famous for saying, you know, don't never go full.
	He did.
	He did.
	Yeah, and we'll talk to you about that.
	It's one of the cringiest things that you'll see.
	This man is needing to blink if he needs help from somebody because his apparent 22-year-old daughter is controlling him.
	We're going to talk about Donald Trump and faith.
	If Christians voted, this election would be a walk-off.
	What are you guys doing?
	And then Kamala is a neocon.
	She's basically going to screw up foreign policy around the world with how she's thinking right now and aligning herself with interesting bedfellows.
	Liz Cheney and Dick Cheney apparently is a fan and she's a fan of him now.
	It's like Trump getting support from Tipper Gore.
	Yeah.
	I feel like we're in the upside down, and things just don't make any sense at all right now.
	That's stupid.
	It does not make any sense.
	And we're going to talk to you in Mug Club about the history of Halloween and my hatred for all really demonic movies out there.
	Listen, I understand a lot of you like them.
	I get it.
	I don't.
	I have some reasons for it because I was traumatized as a child by watching too many scary movies at too young of an age at night and having to walk home in the darks.
	So that was a really scary time for me.
	And I've never fully recovered from that moment.
	But if at any point today, Josh or probably, you know, the brain says something bad, you might see this.
	Do us a favor, head on over to Rumble.
	I don't know why you're on YouTube anyway.
	It's a live show weekdays, 10 a.m.
	Eastern time.
	And here is my question.
	What are you dressing up as for Halloween?
	And if you're over 30...
	Do you have any self-respect?
	No.
	Just kidding.
	I'm dressing up.
	No, we dress up as...
	I'm doing a family costume.
	Yeah, we do the family costume.
	I think that's cute.
	You do like a matching family thing.
	What are you guys gonna do?
	Do you know?
	Yeah, me and my daughter, we're going to go as Woody Allen and his wife.
	Oh, really?
	No.
	All in.
	Josh came to play today.
	Pretty scary Halloween, I think.
	That's spooky.
	She's even doing Asian eyes.
	It's fun.
	That's very nice.
	With that, when you hear this...
	You know him, you love him.
	Josh Firestein, October 26th at Bricktown Comedy Club in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma.
	That is coming up, what?
	This Saturday.
	This Saturday?
	This Saturday.
	I'll tell that joke on stage, so sorry about that.
	I have other Halloween jokes, too.
	Do you?
	I just got louder.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Well, don't say all of them now.
	That was hilarious.
	Oh, let's do a hot 30 right now.
	Okay.
	You shouldn't have followed up that joke with that music selection just saying.
	I know.
	Did you say a hot 30 or a hot 13?
	Oh, come on.
	13 going on 30, actually.
	This has gotten off to a great start.
	And when you hear this...
	One of the best games of all time.
	Lane the Brain.
	How are you, sir?
	Not Mortal Kombat, but it's okay.
	Dude, it's better than Mortal Kombat.
	It is absolutely definitively...
	Chat, let us know.
	Mortal Kombat or this thing.
	The very best game.
	Street Fighter 2.
	I'm going to go with Mortal Kombat.
	I'm just going to also let you know I'm going to be sitting out the foreign policy discussion today.
	Oh, good.
	Why?
	Well, in unrelated news, I got a sponsorship deal with Halliburton.
	Oh!
	Yeah, yeah.
	That's it.
	Well, congratulations.
	So your views have evolved?
	They've changed, yeah.
	I've really rethought where I stand on the issues.
	Just got off the phone with Liz Cheney, and all of a sudden, you're on board.
	I guess that's his two-week notice.
	No, no, what happens here is you just get fired.
	All right, well, look, I want to jump into this with Ben Stiller, because...
	I mean, I... Ben Stiller's a funny guy.
	He's done some funny movies.
	There's some iconic moments and iconic movies.
	Some of them I like, some of them I don't like, whatever.
	It's not really even about that.
	It's that this man looks like he's like somebody off camera has his dog if he has one and a gun to the dog's head if Ben doesn't say what he's supposed to say here.
	So it's Ben Stiller, Doug Emhoff, and some other gay guy.
	He's gay, literally.
	It's just Andy Cohen.
	Who went full beta and declared their support for Kamala in the name of feminism.
	All the dads out there, I would say this is the time to really show your support for your daughters.
	What do I love about being a girl dad?
	I love how much smarter she is than all the guys in the world.
	Who the f*** is that guy?
	I can tell that she's going to be a powerhouse.
	She is already.
	That's like Anderson Pooper.
	Is it a two and a half year old powerhouse?
	22 and a half is a feminist.
	Incredibly strong and has really...
	He's been blackmailed.
	I'm the proud dad of Ella over here.
	My vote for Kamala is an investment in my daughter's future.
	I agree, I'm right there with you.
	When the Dobbs decision came out two plus years ago, I heard from Kamala right away and then the next person was Ella.
	She texted me right away, essentially saying we need to fight.
	This is not just an issue for women, this is an issue for men and families.
	But you're not a man.
	Never in my lifetime did I think that we would be having to fight for this and the fight for our own bodies and I think it's really important for the men to step up and show that they actually support us and they're willing to put things on the line to help us.
	Why?
	Isn't feminism all about being strong and kind of doing it on your own?
	Why now are you like, hey, we really need the guys to step up and really show up for us now?
	Why?
	Because she just stopped taking testosterone.
	Listen, is that real?
	Is she something?
	It looks like she was a thing.
	You were messing with me earlier.
	See how I said yesterday?
	I say I do bits with you guys all the time.
	That was a bit.
	I gotcha.
	I can promise you the Dobbs decision will have no effect on L.A. M. Hoffman.
	Yeah.
	If we...
	That's okay.
	Yes, so why does she care so much about it?
	Listen, I'm sorry.
	I am happy to have men stand in the gap on big issues and help and contribute.
	That's fantastic.
	That's kind of part and parcel.
	But your entire thing is built on not needing men.
	Your entire platform is built on rugged independence of women.
	Women can do it themselves.
	Now it's important for men to step up.
	And by the way, those aren't men.
	Those may be good fathers.
	They may be good guys.
	I'm not assassinating their character here, necessarily.
	What I'm saying is...
	Those aren't men.
	That's not what you think of when you think of men.
	When you're describing your two-and-a-half-year-old and saying she's smarter than all the guys in the room, it's a two-and-a-half-year-old, dude.
	Things move around a little bit.
	Stop it with the feminism on a two-and-a-half-year-old that you and your gay lover are now surrogating and raising.
	He's gay!
	I don't think he did that naturally, right?
	He bought a baby.
	I think.
	I don't want to cast aspersions.
	I don't like that.
	I think he is gay, right?
	I don't know.
	I don't know about that.
	Were you messing with me on that too?
	It's a bit.
	He looks gay.
	I don't know.
	I don't know.
	Listen, if he's not gay, he's acting.
	I don't know.
	Chat comment.
	Let us know.
	Let us know if this guy's gay or not.
	His comments are indicative of a real big problem, though, that's kind of serious that I never thought about, is you'll tell men will...
	Everybody will tell little girls that they're perfect and they can do no wrong and you're smarter than all the boys.
	And the same little boys are sitting over here being like, oh, what the hell did I do wrong?
	Right.
	But it's literally everything they do is wrong.
	And so you wonder why we have this massive divide between the sexes.
	Probably because you tell little boys they're all idiots and that dude's...
	Fake baby, that she's awesome.
	And it doesn't help that the men in power and the men that have things are telling young boys that they shouldn't have it.
	Right, yeah, exactly.
	This is everything wrong with her movement, but are you surprised?
	What is Chad saying?
	Chad is saying he's gay.
	Okay, good.
	Well, not good, but I want to be correct here.
	And look, yesterday I did...
	You brought it up, Josh, and so, Tim, we're going to...
	I want to...
	I need a little bit of admonishment.
	Okay.
	You were quick to that.
	You did a bit yesterday.
	And, you know, I didn't support you.
	What is this?
	I didn't support you.
	What are you doing?
	No, you have to wear a collar, Gerald.
	I don't.
	I can support you without a collar.
	Is this a bit?
	I don't think so.
	I think that I have to kiss him now.
	You're welcome to try, Josh.
	I should have said that.
	Don't we get the views up?
	That would be a good bit.
	Josh, I was wrong.
	Okay.
	And I'm sorry.
	Okay, well, yes.
	I appreciate that.
	Thank you.
	Yeah.
	Well, now Gerald looks very fancy.
	Yes.
	I don't really know where to go from here with this.
	You look like Ella Imhoff.
	Yeah.
	I know.
	There we go.
	Right there.
	No, it's not like ties just...
	That's getting in the way of your shirt.
	You gotta get that out of here.
	Josh, I love you.
	And your tie bit was hilarious.
	And I didn't support you in that.
	And now I feel better.
	And a little self-righteous.
	So, if you want to support Crowder, you know, the show.
	You want to support Trump.
	You want to live in style.
	Don't wear a tie.
	I thought you were going to plug ties.
	We have a new sponsor here.
	You're going to love your ties.
	My ties!
	My ties, yeah.
	I love it.
	I do like my ties.
	Yeah, exactly.
	That's exactly what we should be doing.
	So go to CrowderShop.com, grab a shirt.
	I love Tim's.
	Tim's is one of my favorite right now.
	So the Trump Vance 24.
	This is my favorite shirt by far.
	One of our favorite shirts.
	Make sure you're wearing these things out there.
	Again, it's like waving a flag.
	It's a team jersey, essentially, that everybody else can see.
	Or a hat.
	Like Josh has right there.
	Yeah, this is a sick hat, dude.
	Yep.
	Proudershop.com, we have a lot of great stuff out there.
	I think there's one that's a strange animal on it, too.
	I love that one.
	I like strange animal a lot.
	There's certain times where I want to have something in your face, right?
	You want to start a conversation?
	Wear Trump Vance 24.
	That starts a conversation.
	That's kind of a more in-your-face kind of shirt, right?
	There's other times where I'm like, if I want to start a conversation about religion, I wear Jesus is Risen, and I walk around, I guarantee you people will talk to you about it and be like, I like the shirt, or they'll say something, and it starts conversation.
	It's just like a team jersey.
	It's fantastic.
	Do it.
	Crowdashop.com.
	You gotta get a shirt that gets conversation going.
	That's why I wear a shirt that says, why are you looking at me, stupid idiot?
	Oh.
	I wear that at the airport.
	It's just because you want to be frisked vigorously by TSA. I always do.
	It always works, too.
	I'm the bomb.
	Probably not the best shirt to be wearing on a flight, Josh.
	Okay?
	I'm just saying.
	I wouldn't do that.
	We're going to get into a lot about Kamala Harris, foreign policy, the election, everything that's going on right now, and make sure that you guys are up to date on that.
	But before we do, let's check in on the polls right now with the Polymarket Check-In.
	There's only two weeks until election.
	It is absolutely coming up fast, so let's look at the latest election odds.
	I'm not sure what it sounds like.
	Oh, 63.7.
	27.5 points spread.
	Good lord!
	Wait, what?
	It's 27.5 points.
	That is insane.
	Every time we talk about this, I make the analogy to football, but every time it gets more and more of a stretch, if you round up, that's four touchdowns, Gerald!
	It's a four-touchdown lead, basically.
	That's crazy!
	That's absolutely nuts.
	Look, can you bring up the swing states?
	Is there a swing state tab, I think?
	There is.
	Is that easy enough?
	Okay, you can just scroll down to it.
	Look at that.
	Swing states.
	Arizona right now is a walk-off with the odds.
	Again, this is just one variable, right?
	Georgia, walk-off.
	Nevada, walk-off-ish.
	It's closer.
	Michigan and Wisconsin are pretty close, so 59 there, 42 and 41, respectively.
	And then the big one right now that I'm loving is Pennsylvania.
	Pennsylvania.
	Look at that.
	62.38.
	That's fantastic.
	Kamala Harris.
	Wait, wait.
	Did it go the other way?
	It says it weird on the bottom down there.
	Oh, that's the popular vote.
	Sorry, sorry.
	That's popular.
	I thought that was Pennsylvania.
	I was like, what?
	It's the same numbers, but it's different.
	Yeah, 62.38.
	Again, this is not everything, but really, really interesting to check in on this and see how this continues to go.
	What I will...
	Go ahead.
	An important note about that, and I don't want people to get discouraged, I would say probably the closer we get there's going to be a lot of money dumped on Kamala.
	It'll be tightening.
	It'll tighten a lot because why wouldn't you put a lot of money on someone when you have a chance to make more?
	Yeah.
	Definitely.
	I was talking with those guys at Polymarket.
	You can actually trade your bet as well.
	So it's almost like a stock option.
	You're basically buying it, say you buy Trump at 62, and if he wins you get a dollar.
	So you paid 62 cents, you get a dollar for it, so you make whatever spread is there.
	But let's say he goes up to 70, and you want to kind of lock in your game.
	You can sell the 62 to somebody when he's higher than that, and they'll pay kind of some differential for it, too.
	So you can actually trade the bet, which I didn't know going into it.
	So it's a really interesting market.
	It's almost like the stock market with prop bets on every possible imaginable thing here.
	But look, the odds right now, I know they look really bad for Kamala and her campaign, is we think getting desperate, going into panic mode, and they're really...
	They've had some big celebrity endorsements in the very beginning, but right now they're really scraping the bottom of the barrel.
	At it!
	At it!
	Howdy, I'm Colonel Slanders, official spokesman.
	Howdy, I'm Colonel Slanders, official spokesperson of the Democrat Party.
	You know, I failed 1,009 times before I finally succeeded with my secret blend of herbs and spices.
	You know who else failed 1,009 times?
	Vice President Kamala Harris.
	So why don't y'all go ahead and give her 1,010 chance this November, because she's finger-lickin' good.
	This ad's paid for by the Colonels for Harris Family Pack Bucket.
	Oh, it's just a regular pack?
	No, it's a super pack.
	Well, they've banned that in 14 states.
	I'm hungry now.
	I guess if you want more of that, join Mug Club.
	$89 annually, $9 a month to go mugless.
	No, we really do appreciate your support.
	If you have been watching for a long time and you're making the decision, right now is the best time to join leading into the election.
	We are spending a lot of money.
	We are the single source of information on election night.
	We have our election integrity map.
	We're going to be able to see shenanigans going on across the country.
	We have the live data feed that all of the major outlets or most of the major outlets are using to call states.
	So we'll be able to give you those numbers, give you kind of our predictions, and you will not have to go to mainstream media for any piece of information.
	We're also...
	I can't announce all of it yet, but we're...
	Thank you.
	Some very, very interesting things coming up here very quickly.
	And we will have boots on the ground in all of these key states so that when something does happen, not only will it get reported, but we will have people able to verify it, to look into it and see what is going on in these states.
	And we need your help to make sure that we can do that.
	So join Mug Club.
	But also, if you have not signed up for Mug Club Army, do that now.
	Again, you're not going to get spammed with stuff.
	This is only giving you the information that you need to help us on election night to make sure that this election doesn't go the way of 2020 with all of the shenanigans that happened and people thinking that there was absolutely a steal in progress.
	And we just couldn't really do anything about it because we weren't prepared.
	Won't happen again this time.
	Make sure you go to mugclubarmy.com and sign up for that.
	Yeah, go ahead.
	I just want to say one thing to Mug Club, especially working behind the scenes on everything to prep for election.
	There's nothing more that networks like CNN and NBC and all of them want to see than for us to fail in what we're trying to do.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	Because if we succeed in what we are setting out to do, it will revolutionize the way politics is covered in America, full stop.
	But this is something we can only do in tandem with the people that support us.
	We can't do it without you, and we want to do it for you.
	But this is as much a part of what you are doing for us as what we're doing for you.
	So just appreciate all the help that we're getting.
	Yeah, this is a historic night.
	And look, it's not just like saying, okay, we did it.
	We want people to never have to go to mainstream media again.
	Correct.
	Whether it's us or, you know, if you end up watching, you know, in 2028, you end up watching somebody else who tries to do this and there's 30 people that are doing this with the live data.
	And, like, fantastic.
	We have better, secure elections.
	We can make sure that stuff doesn't happen in darkness like it has, we feel like, in the past.
	So make sure that you tune in on election night.
	And that's something, too.
	You know, I didn't plan on talking about this, but on election night...
	Obviously, voting is the most important thing that you can do.
	I think most of the voter registration, unless you have same day or some other rules in states, has gotten kind of winded down a little bit.
	Scott Pressler basically gets to drink some champagne.
	He's done a phenomenal job in Pennsylvania, so we'll keep an eye on how that goes.
	But now it's time to make sure that people actually get out and vote.
	Registering is one thing.
	Voting is another thing.
	And then tell all your friends, November 5th, Tuesday, two weeks from today, make sure they're tuning in here.
	Tell them to tune in, have a good time, get all the information that they need.
	Spread the word so that people know about it, maybe that aren't on social media, that aren't people who watch this election coverage.
	Ask them how they're going to watch the election results and tell them to tune in on November 5th.
	It's going to be a phenomenal show.
	We're going to have a ton of different guests on and crossing streams with a bunch of the other big creators out there because this is about a community of people making a change, not just one organization.
	So we appreciate that.
	All right.
	So this one was an interesting segment.
	The story about Christians not voting was something weird to me, but let me just set this up first with there's one group of people that you probably didn't think of that could actually change the election every single time if only they voted.
	A troubling announcement this week about Christian voter participation.
	According to George Barna and Arizona Christian University's Cultural Research Center, only 51 percent of people of faith say they'll vote in the November election.
	Why are nearly half sitting this one out?
	Barna says they lack enthusiasm for the presidential candidates and they're not getting direction from their churches.
	Lacking enthusiasm for the candidates.
	I understand that.
	I get it.
	No matter what you think of Donald Trump, he is definitely a flawed man.
	I think he would say that.
	He has made some mistakes.
	Maybe he wouldn't say that.
	He'd kind of joke around about it.
	Other people say it.
	Oh, come on.
	Other people say it.
	Made mistakes.
	I'm not sure.
	But he seems to have a little bit different take on faith after what happened to him in July with the assassination attempt.
	I now recognize that it's been the hand of God leading me to where I am today.
	And my faith took on new meaning on July 13th in Butler, Pennsylvania, where I was knocked to the ground, essentially, by what seemed like a supernatural hand.
	And I would like to think that God saved me for a purpose, and that's to make our country greater than ever before.
	I imagine being shot at is going to give you a bit of a moment of pause, a moment of reflection to see maybe what direction your life is heading in.
	Maybe that's one of those times where you're like, okay, let's take stock of where everything is here, because that's a defining moment in anybody's life, no matter what you've been through.
	Being shot at is a big deal.
	And obviously Trump has a message for the church that he has been speaking for years.
	It's not like the first time that he's gone and spoken to a group of Christians.
	He's gone to churches, the prayer breakfasts.
	He's gone to a lot of different things throughout his career.
	And also, I mean, Kamala tried to step foot into a Catholic church, and it went, well, kind of like you would expect.
	Shut up, bitch!
	Oh my god.
	Whoa!
	I hadn't seen that one.
	What happened?
	Nice job.
	That's aggressive.
	I hope there weren't any kids watching.
	Don't eat the biscuits.
	Wow.
	Sorry.
	Oh, hot, hot, hot, hot.
	Don't worry, it's all...
	This girl is on fire.
	Oh, come on.
	A couple Hail Marys should be just fine.
	New study that came out, it actually revealed a lot of apathy among millions.
	And I was surprised by this number, Lane, you were surprised by this number.
	Millions of Christians regarding the election.
	So according to the study, 73 million Christians won't vote in November.
	And when I first heard that, I thought, like, come on, that's got to be like people who just identify as Christian and it's too broad of a category.
	Well, 32 million of them are self-identified Christians who regularly attend service.
	I don't know what regularly means, but it's different than, you know, like a C&E Christian, a Christmas and Easter person who comes to church twice a year, right?
	It's somebody who tends regularly and that's 32 million people.
	14 million evangelical Christians who regularly attend church services.
	So these are big, big, big numbers.
	Evangelicals, by the way, who voted in 2020, they voted overwhelmingly for Donald Trump.
	80% of white evangelicals versus overall, there's 48% of whites that voted for Donald Trump, right?
	So He obviously does very, very well among white evangelicals.
	64% of Asian evangelicals overall, only 26% of Asians voted for Donald Trump.
	So again, he does very well there.
	57% of Hispanic evangelicals overall with Hispanics, it's 36%.
	So 53% of whites, Asians, and Hispanic practicing Christians voted for Trump in 2020.
	Those are shocking numbers.
	Donald Trump does phenomenally well with this group, and they're not getting out to vote because of apathy, and maybe because there's no direction from the church.
	And this brings up kind of a really interesting point for me.
	Because there's this fight in the church over this 501c3 status, right?
	This tax-exempt status that the church enjoys.
	And a lot of people have said that that needs to be revoked on the left because they don't like the fact that churches have tax-exempt status.
	And maybe it's because there are some pastors out there that I vehemently disagree with that are, you know, living lavish lifestyles and there's, you know, million dollar, tens of millions of dollars being spent in ways that they don't agree with and private jets and estates and all kinds of stuff.
	Money in the walls.
	Yeah, money in the walls.
	You know, when you put money in the walls, that's kind of like a different level of wealth, you know, because there's insulation.
	Doesn't it make it bulletproof, too?
	It doesn't make it bulletproof.
	Money may slow it down.
	Well, if you put enough money...
	Yeah, well, not everybody has that kind of money, Tim.
	Well, the guy who puts him in walls does.
	That's Pablo Escobar kind of money right there.
	Yeah, that is Pablo.
	Joel Osteen or Pablo Escobar?
	One of the two.
	One of the two.
	Is there a difference?
	Pick your favorite, you know...
	We should be saying that.
	Oh, I'm going to be Osteen rich.
	Yeah.
	Rappers need to get on this.
	I don't know how to do that.
	What kind of churches are these?
	Are these non-denominational?
	Typically the ones that have that kind of...
	When you see claims being made, and look, I know that there are some false claims being made, but there are some legitimate grievances that people from the outside looking in can go, hold on.
	Like, you're preaching a message of, you know, all of this.
	And it's not that we don't want you to be well taken care of and have, you know, a decent home and, you know, like all of that stuff.
	You don't have to take a vow of poverty to be a Christian.
	But at the same time, maybe money and walls is a bit of a thing.
	And that's usually non-denominational churches are the places that you find that going on.
	But you can see it in maybe some other denominations.
	They call them televangelists.
	Is that a thing?
	That's still a thing.
	There's also much smaller churches doing much dirtier laundering.
	Yeah.
	My dad's a police officer in Vegas.
	He was telling me about there's this one neighborhood in Vegas where they have the highest concentration of churches in one square mile or whatever it is, whatever the distance is.
	Is that where people get married?
	In Vegas?
	No, some of them are churches, but not all because it's part of the strip and then another part of it's not part of the strip.
	I don't know the radius of this square that he was talking about, but yeah, they're all like little churches on the corners that don't have services.
	But they're churches and they enjoy tax-exempts.
	Are they pretty much the donut shop of Central Texas?
	Maybe that's true.
	It's where the gamblers go to not pay taxes.
	They literally just play mahjong in the basements of those churches all day.
	It happens.
	But it's for a good cause.
	Churches like that should go away, obviously.
	If you're gaming the system, fine.
	But people really went after that tax-exempt status because they didn't like the fact that these churches had the ability to speak on...
	Topics that maybe could influence an election.
	And it's really interesting to me that you want...
	It's like, no, no, no, no.
	They're not saying go vote for this candidate.
	But the message that they have is driving people in a direction that I don't like.
	Well, yes, it drives them away from a policy of, you know, killing unborn children towards life.
	And you don't necessarily like that.
	I get it.
	But here's the thing.
	Trump potentially could have 9.4 million more votes from evangelicals.
	16.6 more votes for Trump from practicing Christians if these people turned out.
	That's insane.
	In 2020, shift 43,000 votes in three swing states, and we would be basically coming to the end of a second term for Donald Trump.
	Arizona, the margin was 10,457.
	Georgia, 11,779.
	Wisconsin, 20,682.
	That's way more votes than we need.
	That's one Joel Osteen service.
	That's...
	So wear Trump merch to your service, to your church.
	That's why I wore a Trump shirt to church last weekend.
	It got a lot of comments.
	It will, because there's a lot of people in church that, I mean, I know I have people who at my church are fans of this show and listen to this show and love you guys, appreciate all that you guys do, but it's one of those things, it's not an off-limits topic.
	You're supposed to be involved in what's going on.
	You're supposed to be in the world and not of it.
	That doesn't mean be kind of in the world off to yourself and not of it.
	That means be a part of it.
	Like, participate in this.
	The top reasons that they gave, by the way, for not voting?
	Lack of interest in politics.
	68%.
	Listen very clearly when I say this.
	The two most important decisions you are going to make in your life.
	Number one, who are you going to serve?
	Christ or yourself?
	God or yourself?
	That is the most important decision.
	Even if you don't believe in God, because then it takes out a whole bunch of time spent thinking about a question that doesn't exist for you, right?
	If you do believe that there is a God, am I going to serve this God, that God?
	What God are you going to choose?
	That's the most important decision you can make in your life.
	The second most important decision is who is going to rule me?
	What government am I going to live under?
	What country am I going to live in?
	The second most important decision.
	And here you have the opportunity, thank God, to be able to participate in selecting the people that will represent you.
	And ultimately, you will end up working with.
	Now, in our society, we don't necessarily look at the government as somebody lording their power over us.
	They represent our desires and our will.
	And if they don't, we get rid of them and bring somebody else in.
	But who's going to rule you?
	Is a very, very, very big question.
	Lack of interest can't make 68% of you Christians sit on the sidelines, guys.
	It's a very important deal.
	It would be better, like, if you want to see God's work carried out in the world, isn't it great to have a government that's God-fearing?
	How are you going to have a government that's God-fearing if all of the Christians stay home and don't go vote their principles?
	It's not going to happen in a primary or in the general election.
	The other top reasons, disliking the candidates, 57%.
	I understand that.
	You're not picking somebody to be the messiah.
	You're picking somebody to be the leader of this country based on the options that are available to you.
	Sometimes that means you have to pick the better option, even though you may not like Either option.
	And there's a very clear difference between the candidates right now, and churches should be talking more about this.
	The other thing that kind of relates to that, neither candidate reflected the most important views.
	55% of people said that.
	I get it.
	Do you want more freedom?
	Do you want the freedom to have church?
	Do you want the freedom to make sure that you can protect yourself?
	Do you want the freedom to make sure that babies are protected at the eighth and ninth month?
	Do you want the freedom to make sure that you can go out and earn a living and speak your mind in public?
	There's one side that is for more of that, and there's one side that is for less of that.
	Don't make this too complicated.
	It's a very simple process.
	And pastors need to do a very, very good job at getting their congregations out to vote.
	And they have to tell them, like, look...
	Don't go vote because you think this person is going to be better just for you and your limited needs.
	Think about it with a kingdom mindset.
	Look at scripture and see what scripture says.
	Is Donald Trump going to be the guy that is looked at in scripture as the person that we need to emulate?
	No, of course not.
	That's not what we're talking about.
	Is Kamala Harris?
	No, of course not.
	Again, not what we're talking about.
	But they're policies.
	You can judge a tree by its fruit.
	Look what happened under Donald Trump.
	Look what's happened under Kamala Harris.
	Do you think we should continue going that way, or do you think we should go a different direction?
	Most Christians that turn out to vote overwhelmingly support Donald Trump.
	We need pastors to do a better job of getting people out.
	Yeah, I think when he goes to the argument between candidates, abortion comes up a lot for Christians.
	Like, how could you vote for X candidate?
	It's true, but I think even more on a...
	is more writ large of both parties and i think that was reflected the most in covid um one is about control and one is about you know sort of laissez-faire live and let live you know religious freedom whatever freedom but religious freedom specifically and yes trump was in charge and thank god for federalism but if you look at the states that were ran by democrat government governments how long did they shut down church Much more authoritarian.
	Much more authoritarian.
	And look at the countries where that has taken extreme footholds.
	I know China's an extreme example, but you cannot freely practice your religion there at all.
	Even though it will be the largest Christian nation in terms of population very shortly, they're still forced to practice underground and persecuted for doing so.
	Don't even mention the Middle East.
	The point is, one of these parties trends away from that kind of policy, and one of these parties is inching closer towards it by the day.
	So, if you don't want to see that happen in America, the last best chance for Earth that I can see, before, you know, Jesus is like, alright, enough of this, I gotta come back and do something.
	Obviously, I'm speaking a little bit hyperbolically, but it's not really, it shouldn't be a crazy decision.
	I 100% agree.
	And look, again, I'm not forcing religion on you, but if you are a church member, if you are a pastor, you have a duty to inform your congregation.
	Don't worry about this 501c3 status stuff.
	Understand what the rules are and play within the rules, but don't live in fear of that.
	This is a bigger deal.
	And I understand people can have a question about this who maybe think you're co-opting religion.
	I get it.
	There's some pastors out there who, I think Matt Chandler was one of them, who famously said, when I hear them talking about me, get my name out of your mouth is how he feels.
	But what they didn't show was the other part of that clip where he's like, but the policies on the other side are demonic.
	He had, and it was really balanced.
	He basically said, like, the policies on the left are demonic, and Donald Trump, when he—he feels like Donald Trump co-ops religion sometimes.
	And really, he was talking more about Republicans and conservatives in general, but he said specifically Donald Trump is the candidate right now.
	That's 100% true.
	Sometimes you feel like they only come knocking when they need votes on the conservative side.
	Sometimes that happens with certain candidates.
	I get it.
	And that's a frustrating thing.
	That doesn't mean you go for demonic policies.
	This is the same group that brought you church services?
	Absolutely not.
	Orgies, on the other hand.
	Yes.
	Underground sex parties.
	In New York.
	Varma, you thought that you were done?
	Huh?
	Oh, come on.
	Come on.
	Well, look, I know that all these numbers are shockingly bad, but there is a plan to get the Catholics out to vote, thankfully.
	Oh, yeah, that'll work.
	Nice.
	That's fine.
	Be careful, though.
	You're not supposed to talk in those things.
	Well, you're supposed to talk to the priest.
	That's the whole point of it.
	It's a confession.
	Well, not in the voting booth.
	Oh, that's...
	But no, we're...
	Don't call it outside the lines.
	Anyway, we need more Christians to vote, and it could change the election.
	And look, I get it.
	You don't want to try to, like, religion and politics, right?
	Like, ah, you never talk about religion and politics.
	Those are the two most important conversations you can ever have in your life.
	Of course you're supposed to talk about those two things.
	Start talking about them.
	Pastors, start talking about them.
	Churchgoers, start talking about them.
	Be ready to say, yes, completely imperfect.
	And no, maybe he hasn't completely come around and espouses every Christian view that I have.
	I understand that.
	But name for me a candidate for president that has.
	You can't.
	The great thing about God is that he can use anybody.
	Look at the disciples.
	Look at Paul.
	He murdered people in the name, or essentially stood guard over the coats while he let somebody be stoned to death, the first martyr Stephen, while Persecuting Christianity had a change, and God used him for something great.
	Never underestimate what God can do with people.
	And so, make sure that you get out to vote.
	Make sure that you start talking to people in your community groups, in your small groups, in your Bible studies, if they plan to go and vote.
	And have great conversations with them.
	Again, truth and love always wins.
	But here's Trump's very, very simple message for Christians.
	I'm here tonight to deliver a simple message to Christians across America.
	It's time to stand up and save your country.
	Do it.
	Stand up and save your country.
	By the way, thank you to our sponsor today, Tax Network USA. Do not let your tax issues overpower you.
	I know sometimes that can be a bit chaotic, and it's one of those problems that you would probably rather not deal with, even though you get letters.
	You're just like, ah, just put them in a drawer until something actually...
	You know, there's a lot of celebrities, I hear, that have had some really bad tax issues over the years.
	Maybe we'll get some more interviews for those guys.
	Yeah, I think my mute button was on.
	I hit it.
	They installed the mute button over here for you.
	Oh, I see.
	Well, I'll be talking about that on another podcast soon.
	Son of a gun!
	But no, listen.
	Contact Tax Network USA for immediate relief and expert guidance.
	Trust me, it's better to start handling the problem than it is to just wait for it to go away.
	TNUSA.com slash Crowder.
	TNUSA.com slash Crowder.
	Yeah.
	That's right.
	You can't just go.
	You can't just go.
	Hit it.
	And Josh.
	I thought you had something.
	I'm sorry.
	I thought you put your hand up.
	Yeah, there's a lot of celebrities.
	Yeah?
	Can we move on?
	I'm sorry.
	Sports?
	Do you know any athletes who...
	Didn't Andre Rison end up in crazy?
	There's a few.
	I don't know who that is, but there's been a few athletes.
	You don't know who Andre Rison is?
	No.
	Willie Mays Hayes got in a lot of trouble.
	Stop it.
	That's not a real person.
	Wesley Snipes.
	Thank you.
	Wesley Snipes, I know.
	Wesley Snipes.
	Martha Stewart was one.
	Martha Stewart.
	Well, that was trading.
	That was a trading issue.
	Willie Nelson.
	Willie Nelson's...
	That kind of makes sense, though.
	He's like a rebel country kind of guy.
	Yeah.
	Oh, Shakira.
	Shakira got fried in taxes.
	Did she really?
	Yeah.
	Dang.
	She had to leave Spain because she owed so many taxes.
	I think she's like...
	Hold on.
	You could just do that?
	That's why she went to South America?
	You just wait and then move somewhere else?
	I'm pretty sure she owes like $500 million worth of taxes.
	That's not real.
	Those aren't real dollars.
	Look it up.
	No, no, no.
	I mean, those aren't real dollars.
	That makes sense.
	That's why she released that song called My 1099 Don't Lie.
	It does lie.
	In her case, it does.
	You're right.
	My bank account don't lie.
	Don't have that money.
	I guess I'm moving countries.
	I didn't know that was a thing.
	Speaking of countries.
	Yes.
	So, a lot of...
	There's a lot of news right now coming out of the Middle East and really we don't hear as much about Ukraine or see as much footage on that.
	We hear a lot about the aid packages and we do see the press tours that Zelensky goes on but I haven't seen as much coverage of it.
	It looks a lot like the world's on fire a bit and that's obviously not a good thing but Kamala Harris last night did a country over party town hall with Liz Cheney.
	I know this isn't news, but my mind is in different stages of being blown that this is a match made in some place other than heaven.
	It's unreal.
	It's absolutely insane.
	They're going to look back on this in 50 years and go, what?
	These two people got together?
	Well, when you realize that Kamala Harris will do anything to get power, and when you realize that Liz Cheney will also do anything to stay relevant, because she's irrelevant right now, couldn't even win her own state, it'll make more sense.
	But Kamala Harris actually invoked Pearl Harbor.
	We were once there as a nation.
	And then Pearl Harbor happened.
	Let's remember.
	Recent history.
	Europe remembers it well.
	Then when we got attacked, Pearl Harbor, we jumped in.
	And it is because America jumped in that we were ultimately able to win that war.
	And it should be a constant reminder to us, we have to remember history, that isolationism, which is exactly what Donald Trump is pushing, pull out of NATO, abandon our friends, isolationism is not insulation.
	It is not insulation.
	It will not insulate us from harm in terms of our national security.
	The question was isolation.
	She invoked Pearl Harbor.
	I don't even know what the question was, actually.
	The only reasonable question is, like, can you explain isolationism and how it led to Pearl Harbor?
	Then that answer makes some sense, sort of, because she said the words Pearl Harbor and isolationism in it, and that we won the war.
	But she was asked after that a follow-up question, which I think is a very reasonable question.
	What was the history of what led to Pearl Harbor?
	And she had this to say.
	Whoa, it's packed with some stuff!
	It's packed with some fundamental stuff!
	I say rather articulately.
	Was that a note from your team on the prompter that says, say this articulately, that you just then read?
	Talks like, that's packed with some stuff!
	No, you can't just say that after not articulating something well and then say, but I said it articulately.
	No, you didn't.
	You just said that you did, and that's not the same thing at all.
	And Liz Cheney, by the way, parroted the exact same point accusing the Republicans of being isolationists.
	If you look at where the Republican Party is today, there's been a really dangerous embrace of isolationism.
	Wrong!
	A dangerous embrace of tyrants.
	Lane, is Trump an isolationist?
	There is such a conflation with not being an interventionist neocon to being the same thing as an isolationist.
	No, everybody agrees there are certain theaters that the United States should intervene in at certain times when they benefit the national security interests of the American people.
	Not to nation build wherever we want to because spread democracy and whatever their other cause du jour is.
	There's a middle ground.
	She's speaking of the 1% and the 99%.
	She also doesn't understand what happened in World War II. At all.
	It wasn't like the United States was just sitting over here on our thumbs doing nothing.
	We didn't want to get dragged into another war.
	World War I was a quagmire.
	We waited as long as we could before we finally got involved in that and helped turn the tide of the war.
	You're welcome, Europe, again.
	Then, for World War II, people were like, hey, I just don't want to send our sons over to die again.
	So we're going to basically just fund the entire campaign for Britain.
	We basically saved them.
	And that's fine.
	That's something that we did.
	But that's not an isolationist stance.
	When you're funding them...
	Well, they were considered to be isolationist before the war started, but I think it's not truly isolationist.
	I think some historians would argue that the fact that they stayed out for so long was the reason that the Allies won.
	That's what I was going to say.
	It's something to be said for the fact that that's exactly it.
	We were working on ourselves, making sure that our infrastructure, our military and everything was strong.
	That's the reason that we were able to go out and kick so much ass when we did finally enter Yeah.
	You mentioned it doesn't even make sense because if you're saying, if you're trying to warn us against isolationism, you should have used an example of where we were isolationists and it went wrong.
	Yeah.
	You just used an example of when we had an isolationist point of view and then said, you know what?
	Too much is too much.
	We've been in talks with England.
	We've been in talks with, you know, France and everybody.
	And now we're going to go.
	That we went in.
	So it was like...
	What are you warning us against?
	Yeah, and it's not like, I would argue, and look, I don't want to get into too much depth of the period between the wars, but do you think our isolationism is what caused This problem in Germany?
	No, it was the treaty afterwards, and basically destroying the economy there.
	And maybe we could have had an impact on that if we had just asserted ourselves, I guess, a little bit stronger, but that's not really the point.
	Just to be clear also, this is a discussion on Pearl Harbor, so our activities in the Pacific probably should come into question in this discussion.
	Well, I understand.
	Like our oil embargo and energy embargo.
	Of course.
	Pearl Harbor, and Europe knows this.
	Yes.
	Well, yeah.
	She pivoted to World War II in Europe, and I'm like, you don't even understand the history of what you're talking about there.
	Regardless, it's a nuanced discussion.
	Yes, that she's not equipped to have.
	The isolationist viewpoint in America was very large at the time.
	People like Charles Lindbergh were leading that kind of march, so it did exist.
	She's not fully off base, but she is off base in conflating isolationism with what Trump stands for.
	Exactly, right now.
	So let's look at four key theaters of the world and see how each of the candidates fare, right?
	Because there's a lot of people out there that'll say, she's bringing us to World War III, and I Listen, it's like a car alarm to me at this point, like the World War III thing, because it's so overused.
	Somebody's like, World War III, and then they end up talking about college football or something like that.
	I'm like, that's not World War III. That's maybe a big rivalry, but come on.
	So I just don't listen to it as much, but it's a very real thing.
	Like, it's something that we definitely have to be aware of and make sure we don't kind of accidentally stumble into.
	But let's look at Russia and NATO.
	And first, we'll start out with Kamala Harris.
	She's offered full-throated support of NATO and Ukraine.
	I helped mobilize a global response over 50 countries to defend against Putin's aggression.
	You did, huh?
	And as president, I will stand strong with Ukraine and our NATO allies.
	Full-throated sports been a mission statement for decades.
	Oh, come on.
	There he is.
	There's Ben.
	Stiller's still there like, I'm supposed to be clapping now, right?
	He's like, line!
	Line!
	He's got an ankle bracelet on.
	You fall, come on around.
	That's right.
	Otherwise, those taxes will come back to haunt you.
	I think I figured it out.
	I think he has messed up with his daughter.
	I think that he had a bad relationship with her or something at some point.
	And it was like an absentee father.
	And now she's like, you're going to make it up to me.
	And he's like, all right, I have to do everything.
	I got to go to the Harris campaign.
	I'm a feminist now, I guess.
	Would you just take some money?
	I got a lot of that.
	I could just give you money.
	That'll make us pals.
	You're 22 and a half, because I still count the halves.
	Idiot.
	Since Russia's invasion, the United States has contributed more than any other country.
	Listen to this.
	$175 billion given or committed, right?
	Second place, $30.2 billion.
	$175 billion?
	It's $30.2 billion.
	And by the way, Kamala Harris, your shining accomplishment was getting a bipartisan bill that didn't even make it to a vote on securing the border.
	Actually, it was to give money to people overseas.
	And secure the border, which could have theoretically just been done with an executive action, which is what you guys ended up doing in the first place.
	It wasn't to secure the border either.
	I don't think you had any real desire to secure our border.
	You were more concerned with Ukraine's border with Russia in that bill.
	And a new report from Le Monde also indicates that Biden may invite Ukraine to NATO if Harris is elected.
	And let me just quickly dispel a point.
	Real quick, though, to add that all this in a vacuum could be good or it could be bad, but there's no off-ramp.
	There's no plan.
	It's as long as it takes with no exit strategy.
	That's insanity.
	Right.
	It's just an insane policy.
	We're degrading our enemy.
	The talking point that I've heard is that we are degrading Russia's capability to fight a war because they're focusing a lot of resources and manpower on this, and so they're weaker.
	What happens when a country like Russia becomes weak?
	First off, they've got a lot of nuclear weapons.
	That's not weakness.
	Second off, if they truly do become weak, guess who they start going shopping with?
	People that they didn't necessarily want to be friends with in the past anyway.
	China is one of the alliances that has gotten strengthened there.
	China is probably looking at them like, we're just going to take you over at some point because you have resources that we want.
	But you don't necessarily want them to be so weak that they have to go and find these partnerships with Iran and China and other places and strengthen those alliances that are already kind of existing anyway.
	So it's not necessarily the best point to have an open-ended conflict with them.
	You want to find an off-ramp.
	You want to find a way to have peace and let Russia and Ukraine exist and stop some of the killing that's going on.
	So here's Trump.
	He's committed to ending the war through peaceful negotiation.
	This is a war that has to end, and we're going to get that war ended.
	I'm gonna try, and I think I can, get it ended as president-elect.
	In other words, before I even take over the White House.
	Gotta stop the people from dying.
	Do you think that Ukraine should turn over some of its own land to Russia in order to end the war?
	We'll see what happens.
	What's your message to the ones who do tomorrow?
	We'll see what happens.
	Let's get some peace.
	We need peace.
	We need to stop the death and destruction, don't you think?
	That's a simple message.
	Listen, it's not complicated.
	What are you going to do?
	We need peace there.
	What's your message for him?
	How about some peace?
	It'd be nice if people weren't dying, wouldn't it?
	That's a pretty simple message.
	If we don't go to World War III, Liz Cheney can't retire.
	I know, she's got to live up to daddy's legacy.
	You know what?
	I apologize.
	Think of the Liz Cheney's and her stock portfolio.
	Please.
	Do you mean Dick Cheney, former CEO of the amazing company that is Halliburton?
	That's my plug.
	I don't know.
	It really is.
	He really got an email from Halliburton saying, hey, look, we got some cash, bro.
	Did you ask him where it came from?
	Did it come from Russia?
	Huh?
	It came from that non-competitive government contract for oil infrastructure in Iraq.
	I would love to see Liz Cheney in a helmet.
	What kind?
	In a body armor.
	I'm saying, like, in, you know, combat year.
	I would love to see her on the ground.
	Yeah, let's go.
	You want to fight a war?
	Let's go.
	She probably is like kind of the Russians in World War I where they actually caused more problems because they got in the way.
	Liz Cheney would kind of get in the way and be like, we gotta evac her.
	Now five people get shot trying to save her.
	That sucks.
	Trump said, by the way, 100%.
	He would keep the United States in NATO if everybody pays their fair share.
	And under Trump, the number of countries meeting the 2% minimum jumped from 4 to 10.
	He had a 250% success rate.
	On getting people to pay their fair share.
	Do you know what the fair share is?
	We hear about billionaires and everybody paying taxes.
	At least we're defining it here.
	It's 2%.
	Oh, 2%.
	2% is the country's fair share.
	Of your own military GDP. It's not you're giving 2% to NATO. You're spending 2% on your own defense.
	Build your own walls and military morons.
	I'm tired of the European free letters.
	I know.
	Poor and stupid.
	Let the barbarian hordes take them over.
	Besides the Polish and the Estonians.
	All right, let's turn our attention to the Middle East.
	We've got to land this plane.
	Harris, she removed the Houthis, an Iranian proxy, from the terror list.
	You know, the Houthis, they're the people that are shooting at our ships right now, and pretty much indiscriminately any ships that come near them.
	Global shipping?
	Who needs it?
	By the way, they also tried to send ballistic, I think, missiles into Israel from their little section of the world there.
	It's a goodwill.
	They tried to do a whole lot of stuff.
	It was cute, yeah.
	You removed them from the terror list.
	Gave billions of dollars to Iran for the hostage release.
	Failed to enforce sanctions against said terrible state Iran.
	Which resulted in a windfall of over $100 billion since 2021.
	And I believe over a trillion dollars.
	We'll get to it down here.
	I see it down here.
	A trillion dollars.
	In additional...
	Actually, I'll get to the trillion in a second because these are big numbers, but just think $100 billion windfall since 2021.
	That's fine.
	Trump, he killed the Iranian terror leader, Qasem Soleimani.
	Very isolationist.
	Basically said, boom!
	Did it!
	And then, you know what he did?
	He did a truth post over to those guys and said, gotcha boy!
	And he's just a flaming wreck.
	He died like a coward.
	He died like a dog.
	Beautiful dog.
	Oopsie.
	He's on Highway 57, might want to send an ambulance.
	A dog named Vagina.
	Yes, exactly.
	He did it, and he rubbed their faces right in it, and he put 1,500 sanctions on Iranian oil that cost Iran $1 trillion.
	That's where I was going with the trillion.
	For some reason, I thought the Harris administration had removed so many of those restrictions that there was a trillion-dollar impact there, but it was actually Donald Trump putting regulations on that cost them a trillion dollars.
	I almost misspoke.
	I don't want to have to tie a tie again and have an admonishment.
	Yeah, well, you don't want to do that, because you can only do a single Windsor.
	You just give a tying dig a jerk.
	Really?
	Yeah, it's not a real man.
	A real man doubles that thing up.
	Okay, let's do bow ties.
	Double knotted.
	I don't want to do bow ties.
	I can't tie a bow tie.
	September of this year, after being threatened by an Iranian assassination plot, Donald Trump said, if I were president, I would inform the threatening country.
	I love how he doesn't name them.
	Then he names them, right?
	But he does it in two steps.
	In this case, Iran, that if they do anything to harm this person, we're going to blow your largest cities and the country itself to smithereens!
	Smithereens, folks.
	That's a white catchphrase.
	Iran's like, smithereens, is that one of the books in the Bible?
	Yeah, can we get a translation on smithereens?
	Is this a bad thing?
	Where is smithereens?
	I love that.
	Blow your largest cities.
	That's not good enough!
	And the country itself.
	The entire land.
	Let's go to North Korea because nothing could go wrong there.
	Under Harris, we've had missile tests.
	113 under the Harris-Biden administration.
	Only 56 under Donald Trump.
	And look, I like to make fun of their missile tests.
	It's one more than double.
	It's just a little bit over.
	I like to make fun of their missile tests.
	The scientists that see the rockets go up are all holding each other arm in arm and went...
	They're just like, alright, shoot us, I guess, because that's what happens.
	So I know they're getting much better.
	They are very capable.
	Japan is obviously on guard.
	South Korea on guard against those guys.
	It's going to be crazy if they start doing stupid stuff.
	North Korea has also completely cut ties with the South and moved forward on nuclear development.
	That's no small thing.
	That's a big deal.
	They're sending crap balloons into South Korea.
	That's not the biggest deal right now.
	Well, they declared South Korea to be a hostile state.
	They had to redo their constitution.
	So for the first time, they viewed the South Korean people as a totally separate people, which basically sets the pretext for an invasion and a murdering of indiscriminate civilians.
	Yeah.
	Because they're no longer Korean people in their eye.
	It's a big deal, especially if things go south in Taiwan, then, you know, who knows?
	Well, there's just a lot of these kind of trigger points around the globe that have to be managed.
	We have 30,000 in South Korea, 50,000 in Japan.
	There's Guam, there's Americans that are directly under that missile threat right now.
	Yeah.
	And also Hawaii.
	Who can forget the missile?
	Accidental missile alert.
	That's where Pearl Harbor was.
	The place of Pearl Harbor.
	That's packed full of stuff.
	And fires.
	It's bad.
	Harrison Biden also maintained the only path forward is denuclearization.
	Okay.
	Good luck.
	You know what they do?
	They look at Libya and they're like, hmm.
	Gave up his nukes and toppled.
	So that's, you know, I'm not sure that we're going to do that.
	We may hang on to those bargaining chips.
	By the way, that's the pride and joy, it seems, of the North Koreans is their nuclear program or at least whatever program it is.
	And it looks like they're willing to just kind of give it away to Iran or anybody else who wants it too.
	So that's also a bad thing.
	Let's go to Trump.
	Trump did two things fantastically.
	He belittled And he also was open to dialogue, but he was going to call you fat at dinner.
	The United States has great strength and patience, but if it is forced to defend itself or its allies, we will have no choice but to totally destroy North Korea.
	Rocketman is on a suicide mission for himself and for his regime.
	Big deal.
	His face is hilarious.
	Look what they stole from you.
	Extra funny to me because he looks like a friend of mine.
	Yeah.
	Also, the guy looks like he's looking around like, hey, you guys got appetizers without me?
	Oh, come on, bro.
	That's not good.
	He's hearing the translation come in and hearing the cameras click and he's like, they can't make me look thin.
	There's no way.
	Look at this face.
	What do you think they need to be hiding?
	Are you talking about me?
	Actually, that entire montage perfectly encapsulates what Donald Trump does.
	Goes before the UN, makes a speech, calls him Rocket Man and says the path that he's going down is not a good one, and then shows up and becomes the first president to walk into North Korea and sit down and call you fat at dinner.
	Like, I'm just saying, like, Donald Trump is willing to kind of go, but the entire time he's there, he's kind of flicking the jab at you, making sure that you understand your position, but also saying, hey, look, things can change.
	We can talk.
	But on my terms, right, he held two summits with North Korea and Singapore in 2018, achieved a temporary moratorium on North Korean missile tests, also in Hanoi 2019.
	That fell apart, but he's willing to go and do it, right?
	By the way, dinner is the worst time for someone to call you fat.
	It is, because right before you eat, now you're self-conscious.
	I want to eat...
	No, but I can't, because this turd called me fat.
	I guess I'll just have the salad.
	No, he didn't.
	Jerk.
	He had the bulgogi.
	Let's do China, and then what we're going to do is continue.
	So we're going to do China, and then, Lane, I want to dive into this a little bit more for Mug Club after all of this.
	We'll dive in some here, too, but I know we're running a little bit late.
	I just want to make one 10-second point on denuclearization.
	No matter who gets elected, and I hope it's Trump, obviously.
	Yeah.
	There's going to have to be a fundamental change of policy.
	Hanoi proved that.
	He went in full on the board.
	You got to denuclearize.
	Kim said, we're going to get sanctions relief first.
	They both disagreed.
	They're not giving up their nukes.
	There's got to be a fundamental rethink.
	No.
	Why would you?
	I know.
	It's the only way...
	It's not happening.
	No.
	I mean, I just think that's a non-starter for these guys.
	That's why you can't let Iran get them.
	Yes.
	Because then you run into this problem again.
	Well, and Iran has their finger on the trigger because they hate the Jews.
	I don't know if that's a news flash for you guys.
	So China, Harris.
	Newsflash, buddy.
	Newsflash, pal!
	Newsflash.
	Whoa.
	Whoa.
	Wow.
	That's...
	Nick Fuentes get on the show.
	What?
	What the heck happened?
	HR Sam, I'm sorry.
	I'm not.
	I'm not normally sorry.
	But I'm sorry.
	All right.
	China.
	Harris.
	China is asshole!
	Pretty much.
	China's state outlets have described Harris as mediocre and inexperienced.
	I don't even care.
	They're just making fun of her.
	I think the world should make fun of her.
	But it actually comes with some consequences.
	Under the Biden-Harris regime, China has become extremely aggressive.
	In Taiwan, last week, they had a record number of warplanes, 153, that encircled the island during war games.
	How would that feel to you?
	To be the subject of a war game?
	To be the subject of something called a war game?
	Yeah, so let's play a game.
	I'm going to be the hurricane of war planes and you're going to be the eye of the storm.
	We're all just hanging out with you about to invade your island.
	Ah, psych!
	Maybe, maybe not.
	Who knows?
	That would not be a fun place to live.
	By the way, in the Philippines, they're denying freedom of navigation of Philippine vessels.
	Now listen, I know what you might think about that like, whatever.
	They're literally ramming them.
	If somebody did that to us, we'd probably be a little pissed off.
	If somebody did that to us repeatedly for, I don't know, years now, we'd probably shoot people.
	Gerald, did you ever consider maybe there was just a few accidents?
	It's not.
	There's video of it where they're like...
	Oh, so sorry!
	It's not like random, who cares about the Philippines?
	No.
	Well, first of all, we do have a mutual defense agreement with them.
	And we don't have it with Taiwan.
	Right.
	But second of all, this is just about freedom of navigation of international waters.
	And that is very, very important.
	Wait, wait, wait.
	Who said that they would guarantee that?
	Essentially, throughout the world?
	The United States.
	Oh, that's right.
	So it brings us in in multiple ways.
	This sucks.
	Yes.
	It's a really bad situation.
	I mean, without that freedom of navigation and without free trade, then you have a fundamental rethink of what the global economy is.
	And that affects everybody.
	That affects exporters, importers.
	Pirates would love it.
	Well, the Chinese would love it because they could control all of the trade that went through the South China Sea and through the Western Pacific.
	Yeah.
	Donald Trump on China, first president to address the China problems with trade and IP theft and aggression.
	We have been ripped off by China for a long time.
	Over the last number of years, China has taken out of this country $500 billion and more a year to examine China's policies, practices, and actions with regard to the forced transfers.
	Of American technology and the theft of American intellectual property.
	We have been ripped off by China.
	We've been ripped off by China.
	We are now making it clear to China that after years of targeting our industries and stealing our intellectual property, the theft of American jobs and wealth has come to an end.
	Donald Trump was very strong on China.
	He started a trade war in 2018.
	Trump levied 40% tariffs on $162 billion worth of goods.
	He banned Huawei and ZTE from the United States and also wanted to ban TikTok.
	By the way, those Biden-Harris administration, they hate those tariffs.
	They kept all of those tariffs, or at least the very large majority of them, even though they're now decrying them as a stupid economic tool because it'll just hurt people here.
	He committed billions of dollars in weapons sales to Taiwan so that they could take care of the hurricane.
	He also has been vague on his future commitments to Taiwan strategically.
	Trump suggested to you that the US may not actually have a duty to defend Taiwan.
	That Taiwan maybe should actually pay the United States...
	For protection.
	What should we make of that?
	I thought it was a remarkable moment in the interview.
	You know, we ended up asking, you know, a lot of economic questions about sanctions against Russia.
	And we asked about Taiwan sort of as a throwaway question.
	And he basically came out and said, what has Taiwan done for us?
	You know, we have been Taiwan's insurance policy for years.
	They stole our chips business.
	I'm just not sure it makes sense for us to, you know, keep defending them when China wants them so badly.
	It was a really remarkable moment.
	Yes, that's fantastic.
	Listen, Donald Trump is playing a game here and he's doing it very, very well.
	Because not only did he say Taiwan, essentially, like, you guys need to make sure that you're ready to protect yourself.
	You guys need to make sure that you are absolutely 100% on board with us.
	If we're going to come to your aid, there has to be mutual benefit.
	We get chips, I understand that.
	That's fantastic for us to throw our economy into a tailspin if we didn't.
	But then he balanced it out by saying this to Xi.
	I wouldn't have to use force because he respects me and knows I'm effing crazy.
	That's the kind of leader you want on both sides of the table.
	Strong negotiator, and don't F with me because I'm crazy.
	We're going to talk a little bit more about this.
	If you're not a member of Mug Club, now's a good time to sign up so that you can see the rest of this.
