Time Text
*Music* Alright guys, look, we need a new 1775 commercial.
What do you got?
How about a jingle?
Oh, yeah, see, we're thinking jingle could be good.
Yeah, absolutely.
The best part of waking up is 1775 in your cup.
Uh, that's terrible.
Leave.
This is my office. - 'Cause continue the theme of the jingle, but let's grab some coffee.
Oh, good, yeah.
Okay, jingle.
Jingle.
Oh, what about this?
Don't waste your time on woke coffee.
You've got the 1775. I drank you.
I drank you.
Dude, that was sick.
That's good.
The duet.
Let's go with the duet theme.
The duet is, because we're two of us.
Right.
Why one of us?
We need more coffee.
Okay.
Duet.
Duet theme.
Okay, I got it.
Wake me up!
Oh, I get it.
Okay, you get it.
I'll go, you go.
Wake me up!
1775!
I can't wake up!
1775!
Coffee!
Fill my mug and save me from the woke!
Hell yeah!
Perfect!
More coffee!
This coffee's so good.
It's so good.
It's so good.
Okay.
Oh, I got it.
Wake up!
Pour a cup of coffee in your drink up!
Why'd you brew that coffee on the table?
I wanted to!
Why'd you brew that coffee on the table?
I wanted to!
Why'd your friends just call me on the table?
I wanted to!
Why'd you brew that coffee on the table?
I wanted to!
Oh, I think you must try.
1775, I cry.
'Cause decaf deserves to die!
More coffee.
That's good, that coffee's so good.
Let's thank other bands.
We got Linkin Park, Linkin Park, Linkin Park, Linkin Logs, Linkin Logs.
Tinkertoys!
Come on!
Josh!
Guys!
No jingles, okay?
No jingles, promise me.
Mmm.
Coffee! Coffee! Coffee! Coffee! Coffee! Coffee! Coffee! Coffee! Coffee into your hands, I commit my spirit.
Coffee into your hands.
My, have you awakened me?
In my eyes, awaken me.
In my mind, awaken me.
In my heart, awaken me.

We'll be right back.
Glad to be with you.
I was cleansed this weekend with a stomach bug.
It was a gift.
Eight pounds, I believe, in 2014. I haven't gotten a stomach flu in so long.
And then election night, I was hooked up to two IVs to make it happen.
And then this weekend, I don't know, it could be food poisoning?
Yeah, it was the shawarma shakes.
Is that what it was?
Yes.
From what I understand, you're supposed to juice shawarma, not blend.
You blend your fruit, you juice your shawarma.
Comment below.
Do I have that right?
Gross.
Hello.
You wouldn't know.
I wouldn't.
You're right.
We have a lot to get to today.
I'm just going to let you know.
Dan Bongino, friend of the show.
Kind of a frenemy.
He owes me money.
It's like three dollars.
I'm not betting that I'll be getting it back anytime soon because he has the full power of the FBI and he let me know.
So he, of course, is the, well, basically...
One of the figureheads here at Rumble, and he's going to be the FBI Deputy Director.
We're going to be talking about that.
We have some inside lane info there, of course.
Not a ton, because we didn't know everything that was going on, but I spoke with him this morning.
We're going to be talking about Germany, the elections.
We had boots on the ground in Germany.
Normal boots.
Normal boots.
Not Gestapo boots.
Thank you.
That's not my gripe with Gestapo.
John Oliver?
Doesn't understand how free speech works, so we will probably be removed.
This will probably, at some point today, we'll be doing a rebuttal to him on free speech, on censorship.
Spoiler alert, he's pro-censorship, which is odd for a comic, I know, but it seems to be the norm these days.
So if at some point today his talent agency, managerial company, has this stream removed, you may see this.
Head on over to Rumble.
Weekdays, 10 a.m.
Eastern.
We also have Nick DiPaolo and James Carville on the show for debate.
Wow.
Later on, regarding the current state of the Republican Party, James Carville made a prediction that it would collapse.
I think he's wrong, but I like the car.
How are you, sir?
I'm doing well.
How are you?
I just feel like my skin hurts.
It's the gift that keeps on giving.
Look at this.
Ah!
Wow, so you're a pansy as well as being sick.
I forgot.
We also have Senator Hirono on the show.
Oh, don't forget her.
Oh, great.
Yes.
Is she going to ask you a question?
Quite a few.
Let me ask you two questions.
What should the FBI's number one priority be?
You know, everyone I had on the show, whether it was Rubio, whether it was Lake, whether it was, gosh, I'm trying to remember everyone who we had on this show.
I will not support anyone who doesn't believe in completely demolishing or entirely restructuring the FBI, our three-letter agencies.
I asked that question to everyone who came.
I still stand.
And by it, you comment, what do you think the priority should be for the FBI? And Josh Firestein, you good?
Yeah, I'm good.
That's a weird time to...
Sorry.
I wasn't ready.
I was...
Are you ready now?
You were not good.
How about now?
No, I'm not good, actually.
No, I'm good.
I'm great.
Don't you know, this is like a racquetball.
I'm going to fill Dan Bongino's spot on Rumble.
You watch.
It's faster than racquetball.
This is highlight.
Either way, some Indonesian is getting knocked out by a hard ball.
It's true.
Is Highlight still a thing?
I have no idea, but I know it's going to come back.
After four years, you will take over that spot.
Four years.
Joy Reid.
Don't say who.
Her show is out.
The show is called The Readout.
It's been cancelled.
There's some speculation, though undoubtedly I'm sure that horrible ratings has something to do with it.
Also, very likely, rampant racism, I would imagine, but I don't know.
You can comment below.
We see these people as, you know, worthy adversaries, I guess.
And in honor of Reid's exit from primetime, it's time for the Joy Reid.
Time to close.
Black voters came through for Kamala Harris.
White women voters did not.
This will be the second opportunity that white women in this country have to change the way that they interact with the patriarchy.
Time to close.
Endings and beginnings are ending and beginning.
Gotta be honest, keep it real, this is not the pick that I expected that she would make white, super white, like mayonnaise sandwich on Wonder Bread, white.
This is a state that is overrepresented by white Christians that are going to participate in these caucuses.
All that matters in this election, the only thing that matters in this election, is keeping Donald Trump and Project 2025 out of power.
Time to close.
Endings and beginnings are ending and beginning now.
The idea that any random white guy or right-thinking woman with zero background is inherently superior to any black person or woman, no matter how many degrees or qualifications they have, is a conceit of fascism and ethno-nationalism that, no, we cannot come together around.
If you go to Paris right now, take the Africans out.
Paris won't function.
It just won't function.
They're doing all of the jobs.
A community that I support and that I deeply care about is hurting because of some despicable and truly offensive posts being attributed to me.
I genuinely do not believe I wrote those hateful things because they are completely alien to me.
Time to close.
Endings and beginnings are ending and beginning now.
But if you expect the 73 million who voted for the prosecutor, not the felon, and particularly the 92% of black women who voted for Kamala to give you a cookie for your vote, a trophy, a hug, a high five, you might be asking too much.
Autocracy and fascism are things that are legitimate to be afraid of.
So you may want to step back.
A majority of Gen X voted to turn America into an autocracy.
And to condemn our kids and grandkids to a far-right Supreme Court, probably for the rest of their lives.
I know that it's time for things to close.
I've not been exempt from being dumb or cruel or hurtful to the very people I want to advocate for.
I own that.
I get it. - She never looks like the same person twice No.
Quite the chameleon.
Always a racist, though, no matter the wig.
That is true.
Always a racist.
I'm sure she's being fitted for a nice hood.
Now...
Does that go on like a wig, or how does that work?
I don't know.
I have no idea.
It's like one day she looks like the ugly twin to Halle Berry in the Flintstones, that whole hairdo.
And then the next day she looks like the black and white cookie.
And then the next day she just looks like a serial killer.
Yes.
Mop.
Now, uh, I've heard feminists complain that men have an unfair advantage in being able to grow facial hair, that it's like a cheat.
Huh?
It's a cheat that men grow facial hair, like, you don't know what they really look like.
Um, that woman is permanently playing dress-up.
I know plenty of women with facial hair.
Yeah, well, yeah, Joy Reid.
I give my beard to my mom.
Yeah, come see, she has strong genes.
Anyway.
What?
I said makeup.
I was like, are women kidding me?
Like, everything.
Makeup, you can just shave your head, put on a wig, it's...
Yeah, yeah.
You got all the things.
You got all the cheats.
We got one thing.
A beard.
Facial hair.
And many men can't grow it.
Sorry, Billy.
No.
It's okay.
Actually, you can grow it.
It's just the problem is that you have blonde hair.
It's translucent.
Different places.
Gray hair doesn't look good on blondes.
It's even more insulting for you to say that while your face is shaved.
Yeah.
You're like, I have so much hair on my face, I shaved it.
You know what, Billy?
It's gonna grow back.
All right.
Yours won't.
Speaking of a full head of hair.
Because he had cancer.
But he's okay now.
Dan Bongino.
I don't know how...
Here's the thing.
He looks better than he did before.
I'm not saying that he was faking the cancer.
But he's the only man who I know who came out of cancer looking stronger than he went in, which to me seems very unfair.
This is a compliment to him, lest you be offended on Dan Bongino's behalf, but I think it was fake cancer.
No, he's no Quincy Jones.
No, of course.
The guy just kept doing it.
He made this major announcement.
He was like, yeah, I got cancer, and it was pretty serious cancer.
Kept doing his thing, never stopped.
That's the kind of guy you want as the FBI's new deputy director.
And that is the news that is breaking right now.
The left, of course, is losing their minds.
We'll address that.
But President Trump posted on Truth Social, Great news for law enforcement and American justice.
Sounds like a cartoon.
Great news for law enforcement and American justice.
Same law enforcement time.
Dan Bongino.
A man of incredible love and passion for our country has just been named the next deputy director of the FBI by the man who will be the best ever director, Kash Patel.
Working with our new great United States Attorney General, Pam Bondi, and Director Patel, fairness, justice, law, and order will be brought back to America and quickly.
Congratulations, Dan!
Now, the left is saying, here you go, podcaster now is being in charge of the FBI. Well, okay, first off, that's not true.
They use the term podcaster to try and denigrate, but I certainly would take the qualifications of people like Hag Seth, who happen to be a host, a person like Patel, who happened to appear on quite a few podcasts, a person like Bongino, who happens to have also hosted very successful shows, Over. Purpose.
I was going to go either way.
Not real admiral either.
Yeah, not real.
It worked, yeah.
Not real admiral.
Not quite admirable.
Riff Raff!
Lindsey Graham!
Hybrid baby, psychopath, tranny.
You can YouTube dump, I don't care.
That was their qualification.
That was their qualification.
Just hold it for a minute, we'll see what happens.
Or creating entirely new departments, as you saw, with the Department of Misinformation, with Jankiewicz, so that you could install someone completely unqualified.
Their only qualification was screeching on social media about patriarchy and white privilege.
So, please spare me that these people don't have qualifications.
This guy's just a podcaster.
Bongino, Just for those of you who don't know, he was an NYPD officer from 95 to 99. And from 99 to 2011, he was a Secret Service agent.
So he was able, you may not know this, the reason he went into politics, the reason that you know his name now, that he hosts successful shows, is because he was able to hear and observe Barack Obama behind the scenes.
And he obviously has to be very tight-lipped.
Didn't like what he saw and it inspired him to try and make a difference.
Just so you also know, unlike people on the left, people like Biden, people like Levine, people like Kamala Harris, take your pick.
Dan Bongino is taking a major pay cut to do this.
You guys notice that trend?
Donald Trump, major pay cut.
Someone like Hegseth, major pay cut.
Someone like Dan Bongino, major pay cut.
Meaning, there is another reason.
That they are doing it.
Now you would say, oh, because of power.
This guy has millions of listeners and viewers.
Every day.
Dan Bongino.
He doesn't need the power or the influence.
He thinks he can make a difference.
You may not like him.
You may not say that you believe he's the best person suited for the job.
up.
Okay, you can have an opinion, but to say that he's not qualified, to say that he has no experience, or to say that he's simply trying to wiggle his way into power, it makes no sense.
You're not applying the standard equally.
People like Levine, people like Jankovic, people like Biden would have no income and would have no power if not for your tax dollars.
Dan Bongino and Donald Trump are sacrificing something for it.
Doesn't it?
Doesn't that, by definition, make them more of a public servant?
Comment below.
I think it's a pretty significant difference.
Shows a sense of duty, if you ask me.
That's what I think.
He built something that he has to walk away from now.
Yeah.
That may or may not be there when he gets back.
Like, that's just the risk that he's taking.
Of course.
You're hoping it's there for him, right?
And somebody keeps that seat warm and makes sure that it's there.
But man, he's walking away and going, I'm going to be less popular.
Like, if he was just a normal figure out there, he's going from being...
Incredibly popular and influential to going to this position.
This isn't a step up.
This is service.
It's very important.
Dan's made a really, really good choice for us.
Not necessarily just for Dan.
Dan sacrifices so that we hopefully benefit.
No one knows how this ends up.
I think he's probably going to be pretty good at the job.
I think maybe a legitimate criticism is that he...
He doesn't have as much managerial experience in those rooms, but he does running businesses.
That's one thing that people always just sort of look over.
And I don't know if you know this, but you actually have to manage a business far more effectively than you do a department agency as seen with Doge.
Not with Doge, but what they've exposed.
Do you understand?
That's why I say podcaster, because it makes it sound like, oh, he just shows up with a microphone and a little camera, a little Sony camera, and then he...
Uploads it.
That's not what he does.
So best of luck, Dan.
Please comment below.
Show him some support.
Show him you love him.
And Dan, you owe me $30.
It's $30 now?
Interesting.
Did I say $3 before?
I said $3.
No, I know, but you were wrong.
I was.
It was $30.
You forgot the $0.
And speaking of patriotic, by the way, 1775 Coffee, they are the sponsor today.
Go to...
1775coffee.com slash Crowder.
Use the promo code Crowder.
You get 15% off.
And there's also a chance to win a Tesla.
This is all...
Well, I don't use the dark roast.
$30k!
What?
Oh, I didn't know that.
I don't use the dark roast here.
We use the Peaberry roast.
But it's all we use here at this office, and it's fantastic.
It's good coffee.
No gimmicks.
They're not trying to separate you from your dollar while claiming to be conservative, while supporting Democrat candidates and throwing conservatives under the bus.
I'm looking at you, insert company here.
So, 1775 coffee.
It's genuinely good coffee.
Fresh roasted.
Let's go to the place.
The self-control you just showed.
By not naming.
For those of you who don't remember, there was a company that claimed to be conservative and then showed their true colors to not be conservative and we were almost embroiled in a lawsuit and immediately after the news broke, I was like, well, I'm not running ads anymore and people were saying, well, they're going to sue you because you have to honor it.
I said, okay, well, I just won't address it and I walked onto the show that day and just...
And continued.
Now don't take that out of context and say I'm doing it with 70, 75. I'm not.
It's the best coffee out there.
Let's go to Germany.
I know what you're thinking.
Hey, are they acting up again?
They could be.
It's Germany.
They never quite get it right, but yesterday they came as close as the nation of Germany has in a very, very long time.
They had a massive election.
This election coming up in Germany is incredibly important.
I think it could decide the entire fate of Europe, maybe the fate of the world.
Hiding behind ugly Soviet-era words like misinformation and disinformation who simply don't like the idea that somebody with an alternative viewpoint might express a different opinion or, God forbid, vote a different way or, even worse, win an election.
He also met with the leader of a far-right party known as the AFD. What did all of this accomplish other than irritating our allies?
Why would our allies or anybody be irritated by free speech and by someone giving their opinion?
Who has elections?
Germany.
Oh, Germany.
I wish them luck.
We got our own problem.
Come on, lady, I'm focused.
Did you see his interaction with the governor of Maine?
Mm-hmm.
Who said that she was going to keep men in women's sports.
She's like, really?
Well, you're not going to get any federal funding.
She goes, I'll see you in court.
He goes, I will see you in court.
That'll be a really easy one.
Shut up, silly woman!
I love, he is, this timeline couldn't have occurred at any other point in history.
Do you understand that?
I'm not happy about the 2020 election, don't get me wrong.
But this redemption arc and what we are experiencing, this may be the most consequential time in American history since the Civil War and the American Revolution.
You can comment below if you agree or disagree.
And Germany, you know, they're trying their best to change things.
Now, they're not as consequential of a nation as the United States.
No nation is.
I should move this back.
Speaking of which, it's Austrian.
So, Sunday, we actually had people there, boots on the ground, members of the Ladder with Crowder crew.
Of course, they're supported by you, Rumble Premium members.
Without you, there is none of this where we were able to actually reach out to, speak with, and provide you with exclusive coverage of an international election.
So you have people just, Marley was dead to begin with.
The left says, Uh-oh, Nazis.
Right.
Okay.
What else?
Now, of course, we all get a little bit cautious because when you say Nazis, we go, whatever.
And nobody's going to say, well, German Nazis.
You go, okay, I'm listening.
It's in Germany.
All right.
Okay.
You had my curiosity.
Now you have my attention.
I've done it before.
Yes.
The second place you hear that is Argentina.
You're like, you perk up.
Okay.
Okay.
A lot of them went there.
All right.
All right.
Okay.
Okay.
Still hunting Hitler.
Now, the election major shift.
So the AFD is the alternative for Deutschland.
It's a relatively nationalist party, more right-leaning, conservative, the most right-leaning party in Germany.
They got their highest vote share ever with 20.8%.
That's double what it got in 2021. Okay.
Then the party who got the most votes, the CDU, 28.6%.
So call it 21 and 28% respectively.
Okay.
Then you look at the left part of the SPD, they got 16%, and then the Greens, which would be their equivalent to, like, Jill Stein, I guess, 11%.
Now, with these systems, like in Canada, we have this parliamentary system where you can have someone win an election with, like we've told you, about 30% of the vote.
That's why the two-party system is better, in my opinion.
It's not flawless, but I prefer it to the parliamentary system.
If you look at the potential coalitions...
Even though we're not seeing the two right-leaning parties necessarily become a coalition, there are far more people in Germany who would identify as more right-leaning at this point than left.
That's a big shift.
I didn't know that it could happen for Germany.
AfD, the radical Nazi party, according to the left, is now the second largest party in Germany.
And just like we saw here with Gen Z, younger voters, they broke decisively for the AfD.
Especially young men.
Young men went heavy, heavy.
Young women came, but there's a problem with the young women there, too.
They're actually the only people keeping the liberal parties alive.
Yeah, women and some of the boomer men.
Yeah, the CDU, by the way, that party is supposed to be center-right.
They've actually said...
Along with the other parties, that they're not going to work with AFD. They've basically created what they call a firewall.
And they've told people, like, we're not going to work with these guys.
We're not going to form coalitions.
They may get a ton of the vote.
They may be the second largest party, but we're not going to work with them.
And J.D. Vance actually went there and told them, having firewalls is not democratic.
It's not what the people want, obviously.
So, boomers, when you guys go, this country goes further right.
Ladies, when you wise up to the crap that's going on, because you're the ones being stabbed and raped in this country, you should probably be careful.
Maybe vote for people who are going to protect you.
That country's going to go real hard right pretty fast.
Now, hopefully, again, not too far right.
It is Germany.
We have to be careful.
Well, I'll weave you hard right.
Let's be honest.
Hitler was not really right.
No, it wasn't really right.
It's not right and left like we view it, but he was a nationalist socialist.
You have to view it within the context of the party.
To say that Hitler would be...
Pro-MAGA is silly.
It's dumb.
It's goofy dum-dum talk.
If you look at the policies outside of the racism, and the left has done a good job at making you believe that racism automatically equals conservative, let's just ignore slavery here.
Let's just ignore affirmative action.
Let's just ignore Lyndon Johnson.
Let's just ignore the Model Cities program.
Let's just ignore the welfare state.
Let's just ignore the government's creation of baby mamas, right?
Racism equals conservative.
Okay, take out racism.
You'd be hard-pressed to find a single policy from the Nazis that would bear any resemblance or have anything in common to...
American conservatives today.
That is my stance.
Now, shorthand of that is Hitler was a socialist liberal because it's more fun to say.
Hitler bad, yes.
Yes.
Hitler bad.
The key issues you're seeing in Germany.
And this is how the United States is the tip of the spear.
Because if we hadn't popped our head out, guess what?
It wouldn't happen anywhere else.
And you're going to see a change in Canada as well.
People are fed up.
Mass migration.
Of course.
Immigration in general.
Free speech were really big issues in this election.
You may not know this.
In Germany, people are jailed for hate speech.
That's pretty much everywhere in the world outside the United States, and we would have gotten there if the Democrats had won again.
You would not have freedom of speech.
It would no longer exist.
That is what was at stake.
That's why it was such a monumental election, and I was consistent about it all the way through.
So, those were key issues.
Within hours of landing in Berlin, our reporters here, our team, walked by in Germany.
And just as an encapsulation of all of this, they reported they happened to be where a stabbing had taken place in the street that generated worldwide headlines.
So our people were there.
Here's the video as it occurred in real time.
We're reporting here live on the ground.
There was a stabbing in Berlin right near the Holocaust Memorial.
You can see behind me that the police are out here.
I've heard there's one arrest that has been made.
There's been no motive or indicator of who the suspect is yet.
I just spoke with the police and didn't get much, but journalists around here seem to think there's going to be an update coming very soon.
So stay with me and hopefully we can find out.
And remember, this is just less than 48 hours ahead of the election on Sunday, so...
Quite a welcome to Berlin.
Is there any indication this is an asylum seeker like the recent attacks?
At this moment of the investigation, we don't have any clear evidence for anything.
We don't have a hint on specialties concerning his nationality or his origin.
We just know we arrested a male suspect who had blood on his hands.
That made him fairly suspicious.
I'd say so.
Holding the knife.
We had to make him arrested.
This person is now in custody.
German prosecutors say the suspect in a knife attack at a Holocaust memorial in Berlin is a 19-year-old refugee from Syria.
19-year-old Syrian refugee who also allegedly said he wanted to kill Jews.
Who could have seen it coming?
In my opinion, that makes him suspicious.
Yeah, wasn't it one of those Christian Syrians?
Yes, yeah.
I'm sure he was one of those Christian Syrians.
He had blood all over his hands in the knife.
Saying, I did it, I did it, I killed that man.
And we thought that made him suspicious.
What, maybe he was a butcher?
We don't know.
He walked up and he goes, detectives!
Also, we are still solving the great cookie jar caper, but we do have strong leads with this man who still has his hand physically caught in a cookie jar currently.
We're not sure.
We don't know anything about him, but he was a little tan.
That's right.
I know.
Didn't speak any German.
Didn't speak any German.
That's right.
It was weird.
Also, he really hates Jews.
So, we have to look into that.
It doesn't narrow it down.
I hear you.
Yes.
There's a lot of them.
They've been raping.
Coincidence that it was at the Holocaust Memorial.
Yes.
This is a nation that has been brought to its knees from guilt.
And I get it, Germany.
They should have some guilt.
It's a little bit different from other nations.
Right.
Just a little guilt?
Yeah, but at this point, you end up committing national suicide.
Yeah.
And it's not because of skin brown, skin black.
It's because you are bringing in and welcoming people.
You can't be welcoming someone with an open hand while they waltz in with a knife and say, thanks, I'm going to stab and rape you.
That's what's happened all across Europe.
And to accommodate these people, they jail their own citizens for speaking out against it.
This is how nations fall, from within.
Now, in fairness, the victim in question here didn't take the precautions he could have, as seen from this German PSA. Dead like five times there.
He was cut at least twice.
Oh my gosh.
He hit her before she started stabbing him.
Yes.
And it still would do nothing.
That was a towel, right?
Yes, it was a towel.
It's a towel and you're not even snapping it or wrapping your arm to try and prevent being cut?
You don't put a knot on it.
That wouldn't even stop a mosquito, dude.
Why do we need immigration policy when we have...
The force field of the towel!
Syrians don't know what to do.
Do you like that in your face?
That's right!
That's right!
I didn't wash it on hot!
It's musty!
Is he German Jackie Chan?
Wait till you see what I can do with a rake and a bucket.
Oh my gosh.
And this is where when you say, oh, you gunned...
Yeah, you know what I want to see?
I want to see a woman with a gun blow away a 19-year-old Syrian...
Refugee intent on raping or stabbing.
Yeah.
Oh, guns are more lethal.
Great!
Exactly.
That's the point.
That's the point!
People say these are designed to do one thing.
Yes.
Kill people.
Mm-hmm.
Are you selling me them right now?
Is that what's going on?
Come on!
Meanwhile, somewhere in Europe, someone's going, it's the knives!
Yeah, exactly.
It's always been the knives.
That's right.
It's not the 19-year-old Syrian immigrant who eats Jews.
Cut goes like, we're selling them.
First, we will get rid of the knives, and we will deal with the problem of towels when we get there.
That is next on the list.
And we have lots of lists.
That's right.
You're on one.
We will mandate fabric softener.
It's too bristly.
It's inhumane.
It's like hitting him with a Brillo pad.
We're not monsters.
Now, this...
Watch that again.
That's an actual thing, teaching Germans how to fight back against knife attack.
This is...
You want to talk about...
Okay, I want you, in your head, picture.
White guilt.
Okay?
Open him.
play.
Okay, two major points.
Number one, that is definitely not enough violence to deal with a refugee stabber.
Number two, that is far too much violence for dealing with a willing female person.
The first smack was a solid contact.
The first one was good.
Like, this would not do enough at all for a stabber.
But again, can we just, I'm sorry, watch that first smack.
She's like, okay, I volunteer.
All right, I'll just come at you and sort of choreograph it.
You're like, yeah, yeah, yeah, don't worry.
I got you.
I've done this many times.
Bitch!
What the hell?
He missed the second hit.
He missed like two or three times.
I know.
I know.
Don't run into that guy at the Russian band yet.
He's not even good at it.
Nine!
Nine!
It's his class.
It's like the German great Santini.
What?
Are you going to cry?
Are you going to cry?
Huh?
Cry!
So, what you just saw, those are the kinds of events and videos and PSAs that lead to AFD, what people refer to as the far-right Nazi party.
Having a huge night.
A very, very big night.
What?
But it wasn't complete.
Because I couldn't share it with you.
Oh, we have a video.
Good.
Okay, we are here at the AFD's headquarters currently.
We'll be here as the official results roll in, hopefully speak with some people.
Why do you think so many high-profile figures in America are concerned, and why should Americans be paying attention to what happens here?
We're in somewhat like a war of civilization.
You're seeing the words like Nazi, racist.
Also, like it is normal, you know?
It's the Western values, in our sense, what we are fighting for.
We do not want to give up democracy.
We do not want to give up free speech.
We are going against censorship.
This was one man, actually, and he was writing on X to Robert Habeck that he is a dumbhead.
A dumbhead?
Dumbhead.
Oh, okay, okay, okay.
Dumbhead, that's like a crazy insult.
A few days later, at night time, they came to his house with the police, and they controlled his whole house.
I addressed the Minister for Economic Affairs as an idiot, what he obviously is.
That could be considered an insult or hate speech, what you just said.
Who gets to be part of that German society that the AFD wants to create?
Everybody who is willing to contribute to that society and to respect its rules.
Why are so many young people supporting the party?
I think that the people...
We can see on the streets and in reality what the political decisions in the past have made.
They really see now that it gets more and more dangerous on the streets.
We do not want to, you know, compromise with the Islam war the way we are living.
We want to keep our countries safe and based on Christian values.
We have nothing against people who come here and want to work, for example, because they're qualified.
We have got a problem with those people who come.
We're in Berlin right now.
In Berlin we had a huge attack yesterday as well against the Spanish citizens, Spanish tourists here.
We were there.
We walked past it when it happened.
This person is now in custody.
The here is Stop Migration Pact EU. And it's mean, yeah, because we don't want our party, we don't want any illegal migrants in Czech Republic.
You have to choose your fighters, choose your friends.
You have to pick a side.
We have a change also in Germany, and like you see, we are now the second strongest force.
They just want a perspective for the future.
Thank you.
Check with Slovakian Bill.
Half-check Bill.
I know what the other half is, apparently.
I also love how even in their basic boardroom meeting rooms, that's like that ceiling.
What do you call that ceiling?
Drop ceiling.
You throw pencils into it in high school.
Even their basic drop ceiling, they have to add something futuristic.
Maybe we should have a raking blue light.
Ooh, what about a red light?
No, I will.
That would be my first choice, but you understand the optic.
We think it's best if you start a boardroom meeting where everyone's a little nervous.
It's a cool chromotherapy.
We find a tighter shirt for Lane.
I think he needs something a little bit more...
That is fashion, Gerald!
By the way, we do want to shout out to Naomi.
I believe Sept is the name.
She did a lot of help on the ground.
She was doing a lot of good work in Germany already, but we kind of partnered up.
And I think I understand maybe why Lane went to Germany and decided to partner up.
Potentially.
I mean, he...
I thought he liked Asians.
He makes exceptions.
I thought Lane liked Asians.
No, but she does fantastic work.
I saw some kind of collaboration stuff they were doing.
Well, maybe Lane should stick with his own kind.
Wow.
He just doesn't like American women.
That's right.
He thinks they're entitled, so he likes someone who will be submissive because he's not a real man.
He's not here to defend himself.
Hey, look, that happens.
You leave, this is what happens.
I found out the hard way.
Yeah, that's true.
It's almost like it's a requirement to be unattractive in our politics in many ways.
In other countries, it's a selling point.
On the right, we do a pretty good job with it.
On the left, it's like, ah, soullessness does take, you know, it's toll.
It definitely does.
By the way, we have Hirono on later in the show.
Speaking of hotties.
Stop it.
Definitely a pervert.
So, just like our election here with making America great again, which is, you know, a modern, I don't want to say a modern form of conservatism, it's a return to our roots.
Anyone believe that the Founding Fathers weren't intensely nationalistic?
For crying out loud, they created a nation so that they could be nationalistic because they hated the previous one.
That's the only reason we have a country.
So, of course, the American mainstream media tried to call the AFD Nazis.
Right?
And this is why Vance, Vance, I will say what he has impressed me with, Vice President Vance, is he is now doing what we have been talking about for years.
And this has been sort of, I don't want to say a pet product, but a cause of mine coming from Canada and seeing what has happened there, warning Americans about how the free speech police are coming.
And he's used his international sort of diplomatic position to call them out on it.
Yeah.
And say, why should we be funding the defense of nations who don't share our values at all?
Why should we be funding effectively the defense of nations that jail their citizens for speech?
That jail their citizens for speech, by the way, that sometimes is pro-American.
Think of how perverse that is.
Our media here jumped on the bandwagon because anything that Donald Trump or Vance potentially could like, or if they're supportive of Mogadol, it must mean they're bad Nazis.
Therefore, Nazis, they are Nazis.
Everyone, hey, they're Nazis, just like Donald Trump is a Nazi.
And, oh, by the way, people tried to kill him twice because we called him Nazis.
Well, let's just keep doing it anyway.
Lucky for us, we were able to fact check the Nazi claim in real time.
So I wanted to show you a clip from the New York Times that they just produced.
And I wanted to see what your reaction to this is.
The New York Times put out this video.
Did you see it?
I wanted to show you this one clip.
Should the rest of the world be worried about a big German fascist comeback?
Jawohl!
Aber hallo!
Und zwar so richtig!
Yes!
You should be worried.
The AFD worked and works the authoritarian playbook.
That's ridiculous.
People in Germany want change.
They really want to go to different directions.
They don't want to reduce the speed into the wrong direction.
They want to change the direction and they want to move forward again.
I absolutely don't agree with that.
I think Jan Böhmermann is a leftist and he's really radical in his opinions.
Yeah, I think we're a quite liberal conservative party and we have good positions and we want to make Germany great again.
And you Americans already did with Donald Trump and J.D. Vance.
And I think it's our right to do the same.
It's a narrative that seems to be successful all over the world.
We aren't Nazis.
We just don't fully support liberty, equality and the rule of law.
We aren't Nazis.
We just want white supremacy.
The AFD is not the new Nazi party.
They just want Germany.
Well, you might basically start by asking what a Nazi or a fascist is because 99% of those people who accuse you of being a Nazi or a fascist don't even know what it is actually.
They just know that it is something that goes against their own political belief.
No?
It's just something to attack you.
And by the way, you might attack me in every possible way you want.
I don't fucking care.
You have so many lefties over there, left journalists, and they're trying to bring us down, but...
It doesn't work out, yeah.
This is actually what they're trying the last few years to say we are Nazis, we are racists, we are against the rule of law, but we aren't.
Only what we want to have is a rule of law back.
We want to have protected borders.
We want to have more sovereignty.
We want that our security in our streets should come back again.
They maybe don't understand the difference between the world.
Patriotism and fascism.
It's absolutely a different thing.
So if you are patriotistic, if you want zero tolerance of the illegal migration, if you don't want maybe Green Deal, or if you want to keep your nation in the first place, it has nothing to do with fascism.
It's normal.
By the way, you need to admonish me.
I said Czechoslovakian.
He's Chech.
Different.
So hit me with that.
Hit me with the end.
There you go.
Admonish.
Also, after that video, they did shoot us from the ice sculpture!
Nothing they said seemed extreme.
Everything they said was like, hey, we're just trying to protect our society.
That's it.
Let me ask you this.
When you say fascism, people say fascism, and we know we can bring up the definition of fascism, of course, is people who force others to follow lockstep.
It's an authoritarian form of government, meaning not allowing other people a voice or a seat at the table.
Okay.
If the problem is primarily with immigration, in this case, from Islamic countries, all right, so what these people are trying to protect the country from is people who come from a country where women can't drive, where women are second-class citizens, where Christians are killed, sometimes burned alive in cages, certainly not allowed to read the Bible, where you are not allowed to disagree with their religion unless you want to face death.
So they're protecting against what would undoubtedly be fascism.
I don't see them advocating for any type of fascism.
I don't see any of these people advocating for locking down speech.
I don't see any advocacy for a larger government that will eliminate voices of dissent.
I see voices of dissent in Germany saying, hey, we're tired of you allowing fascism into this country.
And make no mistake, Islam is religious fascism.
It's not just a religion.
It's a political prescription.
For proof, see every Islamic nation ever.
Let me ask you this.
Do you think that Egypt is fascist?
Turkey?
Qatar?
Qatar?
Whatever they call it now these days, I don't care.
Take any, Iran?
Iraq?
Every single Islamic nation, even the ones that are relatively good right now, have practiced and certainly tasted fascism.
And the problem is, the citizens welcome it.
The citizens don't have a problem with the fascism in Islamic nations.
You look at, oh, let's pick a modern one, like Indonesia.
Record church burnings.
Well, they want to go to heaven.
Right.
Yeah.
So we label fascism protecting against religious and ideological fascism.
Think of how the left is really, really good with wordplay.
They're not really good with anything else, but they're good with wordplay.
Pro-choice.
Oh, okay.
Women's rights, when they're talking about trans in sports.
Oh, we're anti-fascist, when the fact is they want to implement control and one voice.
They're brilliant with the wordplay.
And it's this thing, it's like the guy, the police officer saying, we don't know anything about the suspect right now or anything else.
It's like, well, why don't you tell me that he's a 19-year-old or a military-aged Syrian man?
Well, because maybe then you'll look at Syrian people differently.
Maybe I need to, in this present environment in Germany, look at Syrians differently for a minute to protect myself.
It doesn't mean I'm going to discriminate against them.
It just means I might make sure my head's a little bit more on a swivel when I'm around somebody because they get a little stabby.
Right.
And it's not all of them, but you're preventing me from having information that could be very useful.
Information like this.
You said something about Egypt.
What about the Congo?
They just beheaded 70 Christians over the last few days for nothing more than being Christian.
How many of the Congolese do you want to bring into your country?
Certainly not the white apes.
Certainly not a whole lot.
Certainly not the white apes with lasers.
No, those guys definitely have to stay.
They can stay in their volcano where they belong.
Has been very welcoming.
They were very welcoming to our crew as well.
And a number of the politicians there actually had a little bit of a shout out to you.
Maybe seeing if you can come over.
Oh, that's nice.
Yeah.
It's very unfortunate you're not here with us today at this historical moment in Berlin, But maybe you'll find the time, as I said, in three years then.
And join us then.
Ciao, have a nice evening.
Nice show.
See you in Germany next time.
Yeah.
Nice hat.
I'm watching it for many years now.
Is it fair?
Big bye from Germany.
Hi, Steven.
See you next time in Germany.
Hi.
Hi, Steven Cowder.
Hi, Steven.
What's up?
I'm originally from Bosnia, so I can tell you a joke.
The Bosnian guy says we have this new guy at the working place, and he tells everyone he's heterosexual.
We have no idea what it means, but just to get sure, we beat the s**t out of him.
I'm very happy to have you guys here.
Welcome to the AFP party, and I hope to get to know you one day, to know you.
Rachel Dratch?
I love how even the Germans are looking at Lane's Hitler Youth haircut.
Yes, the optics are a little extreme.
Yes, a little bit on the nose.
Blue eyes tall, red hair, and you cut it like that?
Come on.
Read the room.
These Americans are always stealing our trance.
Read the absurdly blue room.
No red anywhere.
Nine on the red.
I'm just confused.
Lane walking is like, is there like a pool light reflecting through the window?
What is happening?
The police here?
Ugh, what a silly place Germany has become.
I mean, I'm glad that these people are making inroads, but the fact is they can't even create a conservative coalition.
Comment below.
Do you guys understand the problem with the parliamentary system?
I know, I think we're kind of past this, but again, on YouTube back in 2008, 2009, it was edgy atheism in the two-party system, man, and I was the only person saying, do you know what a parliamentary system is like?
Do you have any idea how dysfunctional it is?
I know we have plenty of people who watch who aren't in the States.
If you're watching right now, explain to Americans the problem with the parliamentary system because you still have some people here who don't quite get it.
Anyway.
I don't get it.
You've explained it to me a few times and I get lost.
Yeah, it's just basically, if you don't have two parties, right, you have, in the States, you have one party that at least represents as close as you can get to a majority view of Americans.
That's why we have a two-party system.
I get it.
People have different opinions on different issues.
But it's an umbrella.
In a parliamentary system, you can have so many parties that you can have someone win and wield power and then create coalitions with other parties who didn't win a significant enough portion of the vote to implement policy that is not a reflection of the will of the people at all.
What's kind of ironic is for people who talk about preserving democracy, I don't know that there is a more effective...
Quote-unquote democratic system than that of the parliamentary system to do away with democracy.
Democracy could not be less relevant when you're in a parliamentary system once those lines have been drawn.
They create a coalition that you didn't ask for, that you didn't vote for, to push policies that nobody wants.
You'll have policies implemented that maybe 20% of the public even remotely support.
Do you want to live in that kind of a country?
I mean, even here, the worst case scenario, Donald Trump opens, let's say, opens up drilling leases.
Yeah.
And only gets support from 40-something percent of Americans.
Well, it's more than 20!
Yeah.
Absolutely.
Also, keep in mind, too, they have this going on in Germany.
We have these international elections taking place.
And this is, of course, on the heels of the American election.
And James Carville, the Ragin' Cajun, was trending all over Twitter because he predicted that there would be...
An economic collapse.
Sorry, not economic.
Well, he said we would eventually face an economic collapse, but he was trending specifically because he said there would be an administrative collapse, this administration, within 30 days.
Come on.
Within 30 days.
And it was a very bold prediction from the man who said that Kamala Harris would win in a landslide.
He's kind of...
Remember all those bumper stickers, trust Nate Silver, until he said things that they didn't like?
Don't trust Nate Silver.
That's kind of where Carville is, where the left wants to act like he's this guru, he's this oracle, he's an OG, but they don't like a lot of the things that he has to say.
Recently, too.
He's a little pissed.
Yeah, he's not a big fan of the Democrat Party, but he also is a good soldier who steps in line when he needs to.
And so, actually, I believe we have a montage of just this.
And so, Dan, this is what I believe.
I believe that this administration, in less than 30 days, in the midst of a massive collapse.
What?
And particularly a collapse in public opinion.
He's an old guy on Tinder angle.
I would say take Harris over 270 electoral votes.
Let these fools in these crypto markets do something.
and let him drive the betting line into a favorable place and then take advantage of it.
That's what I would do.
I think she's going to win.
What he didn't do was wipe the dribble from his chin in that first clip.
Did you see it?
Play it again.
He has like a crumb there that's just dangling on his chin, like a little bit of dribble.
Yeah, right from the beginning.
Look at this.
With that old guy Facebook angle?
So, Dan, this is what I believe.
I believe that this administration...
It's right there in the corner of his lip.
...in the midst of a massive collapse.
Is he just sucking it up straight from the bayou?
So, actually, and here's the thing.
I actually do appreciate James Carville.
He is kind of more of an old-school Democrat, and we actually...
Do we have them on the line?
We have our very own Nick DiPaolo, who has been open to debates, and James Carville said that he would join him.
him.
So, uh, we have now here on the show, Mr. James Carville and Nick DiPaolo.
Okay.
So as I said, we have our very own Nick DiPaolo on the line.
Uh, Great, thank you.
And please welcome to the show Democratic strategist James Carville.
Glad he's here.
Good morning, Mr. Carville.
All right, the topic for discussion for the both of you.
It didn't have to happen, like Trump said, but because we had idiot Democrats in office.
For the last four years, you know, people that think like Hillbilly Pete over here, we're in a mess, never had to happen.
But everything, life's a negotiation.
We finally have a president who doesn't shit his pants twice a day, take a nap at two in the afternoon.
Who may be the greatest businessman in the history of the planet.
And as we know, the United States is just a company.
So we finally have a CEO running it.
And I'm confident that he will sit down and convince Zelensky.
Trump will talk some sense into him and say, listen, you don't have a shot.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry to cut in your filthy getting.
But did I just hear you say that they're running the United States?
It's a company?
Did I hear this young woman say it's a company?
Speaking of corporate, what kind of corporate do you keep?
Tortellini Twinkle Toes?
This is a problem that we have with political parties here in the United States of America.
Everybody's just cheerleading.
This man's cheerleading so much I want him to do a flip.
Not thinking with his mind anymore.
It's all about partisan politics.
That's what we need less of in America along with greasy dagos.
No need for the ethnic slurs, James.
IQ of a four-year-old brain can.
I will slap the Sicilian off you.
You understand?
Hey, a few silly fairy dusts.
You like having ten fingers and ten toes?
Keep talking.
I asked your mother that last night.
Oh, she did a lot of talking, too, where there was a little bit more moaning and wailing.
Who ever said I took into consideration her feelings?
See, that's what we call right here you've experienced on this program.
Dominating the other party.
And that's all.
This has become his political theater and people like Nick DiPaolo don't think twice about the future of America.
James, your party is upset because the current president is uncovering all the fraud and waste.
And how the taxpayers of this country have been taken advantage of not just for the last four or eight years, for the last 30 years, and your party is upset about it.
It's like somebody going and coming to your house and saying, you know, your neighbor next door's been f***ing your wife where you're gone, and you're mad at him for telling you.
There's no call for that kind of lie.
This man, he's not a gentleman.
Somebody, you know, somebody call this boy Ziti because he's been baked.
And if you talk to the Raising Cajun like that one more time.
I will rip your arms off and literally end your bloodline I apologize that That didn't go as planned at all.
We want to keep these things a little more civil, so we'll bring him back on.
He's a little spicy still.
Yeah, he's a wildcat.
He is.
Oh, they're talking about on CNN how Musk is demanding federal workers justify their jobs or risk being fired.
Yes.
So you mean like every business ever?
Yes.
What would you say you do here?
Do you realize, before I move on here to John Oliver, I was fired from the French-Canadian version of Nordstrom's for juggling promotional sheep.
I had to sit and review myself juggling promotional Christmas sheep on the security footage.
You were successfully juggling them?
Not that great.
Okay.
Well, they might have a point.
Because if you were doing a good job at juggling these sheep, that's a guy you've got to keep around.
They were like, you don't seem to be taking your job very seriously.
I said, at French Canadian Nordstrom's?
I don't know what would give you that idea.
Sorry, you're juggling sheep on camera.
And they play, and it's me.
And I argued with them.
I argued with them until they said they'd give me one more chance to give me my job back, and then quit on the spot.
I'm like, alright, we'll give you one more chance, but it has to be a 180. I'm like, no, I don't want to be here.
No.
Done.
That's your 180. Because I was petty and small-minded even back then.
Made good commission, though.
Now, moving on to what we're talking about fascism.
I would argue that there are plenty of fascists in UK Parliament.
And I would argue that there are plenty of fascists, actually, in the comedy scene, both in Europe and stateside.
What do I mean by that?
I mean people who would eliminate voices of dissent at a moment's notice if they had that ability.
You don't judge a party or an ideological group by merely what they do now.
You judge them by what they would do if they had completely unfettered power.
And I think people like John Oliver, and you can use the umbrella here of big government liberals in Europe, I think they certainly qualify.
I would argue that they are far more fascist than any member of the AFD, member of this administration, or certainly anyone in this studio.
I want to be very clear here.
As we move on in this segment, at no point am I advocating for the removal or censorship of John Oliver.
I don't want to happen to John Oliver exactly what his managing company has done to us, Avalon.
Every time we criticize him, every time we do a rebuttal, which falls squarely under fair use, we get...
We get removed.
That segment gets removed because John Oliver can't handle criticism.
Respect where it's due to Jon Stewart, to even, I would say, Jimmy Kimmel.
They at least leave it up.
John Oliver has every single one removed, and it's manually done.
So, right now, if you are watching, if you are watching on YouTube, please go to Rumble and download the Rumble app.
That's the best way you can stay in touch.
in touch you'll only get notifications when we are live on rumble it's the best way to not be beholden to an algorithm rumble we own live and none of these critiques none of these rebuttals get to take place if not for rumble premium members it's 99 annually you can try it for 99 a month rumble premium is mug club mug club is rumble premium that's why we don't have to worry about being banned removed and you know what neither did dan bongino so that's the kind of guy i want his deputy over there at the fbi
so john oliver is back I'm sorry.
Again, he does a show once a week.
It's a very easy gig.
And so much money that he makes.
This time, as an entertainer, a comedian, advocating on behalf of big tech censorship.
Tonight, let's take a look at the challenges of content moderation.
How Facebook's faced them in the past, and what might have led to its new approach.
And let's start with the challenges.
Because from the very beginning of the modern internet, there were concerns about what was on it.
Time for the latest installment of John Oliver is a Big Fat Pussy.
I am a pussy.
And that is frankly a wild thing to say.
I'm telling you, I am a pussy.
Sorry if this is how you found out, but I'm telling you that I am a pussy god *Crying* *laughs* Favorite singer ever.
It's pretty good.
And for those of you saying that's ad hominem, yes.
It's true, because it's true.
But let me explain to you the context.
I use the term, I do use it as a pejorative.
And by that, I mean that he embodies all of the negative feminine qualities that one would imagine, just like when you call someone a prick, it's a gendered pejorative, in that he is a gossip and he won't deal with confrontation head-on as a man should, and he refuses to not only face criticism or face the people, He accuses, but he actually has them removed from the public square.
I think that is quite cowardly, and I think it makes him...
Now, some of these clips are going to be shorter because maybe they can argue that the clips are too long.
So maybe this will stay on YouTube, right?
Right, Avalon, Don Oliver?
Come on, come on, sack up.
Here's the first claim that he makes here.
All references available, link in the description as we do every single show, something John Oliver may want to consider.
Please peruse them.
Makes the claim that Section 230 gives platforms the ability to moderate without fear, that that's why it exists.
But mostly, it allows them to moderate without fear, which is good, because as scholars will tell you, content moderation is absolutely key to making the internet bearable.
Okay, here's the truth.
That's the exact opposite of what 230 was designed to do.
230 was meant to promote speech, not to censor it.
230 allows these big platforms, big tech platforms, to be treated as de facto utility companies.
So, for example, like public utilities, like your phone service.
Verizon or AT&T, if you guys don't have Pure Talk yet, or T-Mobile, they can't remove you, they can't deny you service if you say, hey, I hope the AFD wins the election in Germany.
Even if they don't like your opinion.
Why?
Because that would be a violation of them being a public utility.
They are not a publisher, like New York Times, who can moderate not only the comments, but whoever actually publishes content on their platform.
So Facebook, YouTube, Google, X, they were being treated far more like a public utility.
That's what 230 was designed to do, which means that comes with the responsibilities of not censoring speech.
So Congress explicitly stated in Section 230, the Internet offers a forum for a true diversity of political discourse, unique opportunities for cultural development, and myriad avenues for intellectual activity.
Here's the really scary truth, is that the left misinterprets that very narrow window of content moderation that is permitted through Section 230, and that's what they focus on.
So there's a very narrow window.
In other words, to say, yeah, so 230 means that you can't moderate content, that you can't censor content outside of these bounds of the law, right?
And they go, well, see, that means that we actually have the right, they should be censoring content.
No, no, no, no, no.
That's like saying, hey, hold on a second, yeah, of course, everyone has to be allowed unless someone's committing a crime.
So no one's allowed!
No.
That's not the point.
Section 230 specifically limits what platforms can moderate without becoming publishers, which means they are not, once they're a publisher, they're not protected from liability.
230 protects them from liability if some, let's say, Nazi posts a comment that actually is Nazi-like.
In other words, YouTube can't be liable for that.
Why?
Because they're a public utility.
They're not censoring.
So it's not their responsibility if it is used as a utility.
Now...
If they censor too much, that means they are effectively communicating a point of view, which means they're a publisher, like the New York Times, like Washington Post.
So, this is the limitation of what they can moderate.
Two content, limited.
That is, quote, obscene, lewd, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable.
That's the catch-all category that the left uses, the otherwise objectionable.
But, it's very clear that...
Otherwise objectionable must relate to the words that directly precede it.
So let me give you an example.
Opinions, for example, on politics, or even opinions that you may not like on vaccines, are not obscene, they are not lewd, they are not lascivious, filthy, or excessively violent.
So otherwise objectionable cannot just apply to anything you don't like, it has to apply to the definitions that are very clearly outlined before it.
Does that make sense?
And you have no recourse.
That is the problem with 230, because literally you basically go 230, 230, 230, 230, all the way up to the Supreme Court, and then first you hope it gets taken by the Supreme Court, then you hope you get a victory.
Right.
They are hiding behind 230. Exactly.
As well.
230 doesn't protect Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube's right.
It doesn't protect their right to say you can't post a story about an mRNA injection side effect.
It doesn't protect them from saying, actually, you know what, you're not allowed to post about information that suggests maybe this virus leaked from a lab.
It doesn't protect them from saying, actually, you know what, we don't like the Hunter Biden laptop story, which we'll get to, so we're actually just going to ban it.
As a matter of fact, that would be a direct violation, and they should be fined billions of dollars.
They should be held liable immediately.
Either they're a publisher or they're a platform.
I have been saying it since 2012, if you want to go back far enough.
Here's another claim that John Oliver makes.
A comedian who doesn't believe in free speech.
That conservatives were never targeted by big tech to censor.
One has been conservatives repeatedly painting normal content moderation as political persecution.
Big tech's out to get conservatives.
That's not a suspicion.
That's not a hunch.
That's a fact.
We've seen these big tech has been censoring us.
The American people are being censored.
Conservatives are being censored.
The information that's flowing to the American people is being censored.
It's just the bottom line.
Okay, that is obviously old bulls**t.
Well, if it's obvious, provide your references.
Yeah.
If it's so obvious, that's right, you never do, aside from when we see an overlay that says salon or slate.
Here's the truth.
Conservatives are very clearly targeted and censored.
Again, this is empirically available through the data.
They're banned at rates that are about four and a half times the rate of those on the left.
Okay, let me give you some quick examples.
President Trump banned from Twitter, Facebook in 2021. 2022, you had Dan Bongino banned from YouTube, now going to be deputy over there at the FBI. Let's just give you some examples.
With us, right?
The Twitter files named us as a platform, as a profile that was to be censored, throttled on their platform.
Obviously, these Twitter files revealed censorship against the 2020 election, questioning it, the COVID lockdowns, the COVID vaccines.
In 2019, we were at the center of the Vox Adpocalypse, where it was proven that we didn't violate any policies, but we were just demonetized, which is why we need your support over there at Rumble Premium, because we don't make any ad dollars on YouTube.
Do you think that that might be?
Some kind of censorship if you allow people to espouse outright communist views on YouTube and be monetized, but you demonetize, ergo throttle, shadow ban a channel that expresses, I don't know, pro-life views, that there are only two genders, those kinds of views, that maybe it wasn't the most free and fair election of all time, those kinds of views.
Also, I believe in 2019, might have been 2018, that's how I met my half-Asian lawyer, Bill Ruspin.
Engadget published an article about demonetization.
There was also an article about Facebook throttling.
Specifically, people named the Chris Kyle Foundation, Ted Cruz for President, Breitbart, and yours truly.
That's how I met my lawyer.
We ended up handling that out of court.
Notice we're still on Facebook.
It was so bad, just us right here.
I don't know if you think that we've said anything objectionable enough to warrant being De-platformed, to warrant being demonetized, to warrant being shadow banned, throttled, to the point where we've had to create our own separate platform.
People said, create your own YouTube.
Well, we have.
Everyone migrate over to Rumble.
YouTube is dead.
It got so bad that the known Marxist senator, Hirono, was outraged that we weren't completely banned.
banned.
It wasn't enough.
YouTube dragged its feet before taking any action against conservative commentator Stephen Crowder, despite being informed of Crowder's two-year homophobic harassment campaign against journalist Carla Mazza.
When YouTube did finally take action, it took the half measure of removing advertisements from Crowder's videos rather than removing him from the platform entirely.
Advertisement.
We called Carlos Maza a lispy queer.
I can say that, right?
Not Carla Maza.
You just deadnamed the lispy queer!
Why would you do that?
He also called himself queer, joked about his lisp, and I think his handle was Gay Wonk.
And he wasn't the only person at Vox who we criticized.
And it wasn't a campaign.
It was more of an adventure.
Also, I didn't just say let's be queer.
I said fairy.
Yes.
Sprite.
I believe light in the loafers.
There are a bunch of terms that were used.
They were all fun.
Who was your campaign manager for this campaign that you put together?
And actually, though, here's the good news.
We will always welcome on Voices.
Yeah.
That differ from our own.
So after six years have passed, we're going to allow bygones to be bygones and hopefully we have her on the line.
We actually have Senator Hirono on the line to comment right now.
Senator Hirono, welcome back to the show.
Hello, Stephen.
Now, before we begin, I want to remind you that this conversation is on the record.
Okay.
And I will hold you accountable.
Well, I expect no less from you.
I wanted to talk with you today about how you encouraged the outright censorship ban on me six years ago.
Well, maybe we can get together sometime and, you know, discuss things further.
I don't know if that has any...
We can have a picnic under the stars.
Well, you can give me a hot lunch.
Okay, Senator.
My lunchbox is ready for you, Stephen.
Senator, that is unbecoming of a public servant.
It's hot and steamy in there, just how you like it.
Oh, my God.
I'll bring some salad.
Well, I don't like a good salad.
And then you can toss it for me.
That's not the definition.
That has nothing to do with a lunch.
Hey, Stephen, do you like Pokeballs?
Actually, yeah.
I mean, I'm not sure how to answer it, but I do actually...
I'm not hearing an answer to my question.
Okay, yes.
Pokeballs are delightful.
I'm a fan.
I'll let you poke my balls, Stephen.
Senator, that is completely inappropriate.
I don't even...
You can be my Bucking Bronco.
No, no.
Would you like to give me a Cleveland, Stephen?
This is just...
This has nothing to do with what we're discussing.
Stop.
And then you can finish with...
I don't want to do that.
No, no, Tim, cut it.
Cut it, cut it, cut it, cut it.
Stephen, I'm horny.
Ah!
That took a turn.
Jesus.
The next claim that John Oliver makes, and they love to do this, they try and steer into it to cut it off at the pass, right?
Conservatives are not being censored.
They are.
The Hunter Biden laptop was inconsequential.
No, it wasn't.
So he tries to say the Hunter Biden laptop was actually never censored.
You dreamt that.
Back in 2020, while Trump was president, social media sites got a warning from the FBI to look out for hack and leak operations before the election.
Then, in October, the New York Post ran a story based on files from a laptop they claimed belonged to Hunter Biden, which had been given to them by Steve Bannon and Rudy Giuliani.
Facebook and Twitter were wary of the story.
Twitter briefly didn't allow people to post links to it, and Facebook allowed the story to be seen and shared, but limited the article's reach.
Only to remove that restriction soon after.
Just that wordplay.
Here's the truth.
It was real, it was authentic, and it would have made a difference in the 2020 election.
They were weary of the article.
Okay, why?
Well, because the FBI reached out to them.
They allowed it to be posted, but they reduced its reach.
Okay, so it doesn't exist.
Just think about that for a second.
They reduced its reach.
So if you post something that is incredibly important...
As far as information to the American public.
And these people, at the behest of the FBI, decide they're just going to limit its reach.
You can post it, but your own subscribers, your own viewers can't see it.
Does it exist?
Yeah, this was a massive story everybody was talking about.
All of a sudden, gone.
And then a week later, they're like, alright, you can post it again.
Wait a minute, why don't you just unfreeze the other post with all the likes, all the mentions, all of the algorithmic favorite stuff that's going on with this thing.
No, no, no, you can repost it.
That's just as good.
No, it's really not.
The reason that it wasn't being allowed to spread was because the FBI, for example, met at least five times with Google alone prior to the 2020 election.
Five times the FBI met with them.
While the FBI had the laptop and they knew that it was legit.
They had already procured the laptop.
It had already been authenticated.
They knew that it was real, and they met five times, just with Google, I'm willing to bet dozens of times, with the heads of big tech to ensure that it wasn't allowed to be a story that the American public knew about.
By the way, this is the laptop that Mayor Giuliani authenticated for the first time, showed it to the world live on our show.
Have you seen the pictures?
Have you seen the pictures of him with the crack pipe?
You're done right, I have.
Oh, wow.
Does he at least look, like, cool?
Unfortunately, I can't show him to you right now, but this is the hard drive they're on right there.
Oh, my word.
I didn't know what I was looking at.
I had a tiny monitor.
And people now saying about Mark Zuckerberg, they're saying, oh, well, he's just doing this now.
He's trying to appease the people in power.
Well, okay, sure.
Sure.
But if he's trying to appease the current administration in power by saying, we are not going to censor.
Opposing points of view on Facebook anymore.
That's different from him having to appease those in power under the Biden administration.
And he admitted to doing that.
He admitted to being pressured by Biden to censor content as it related to COVID, as it related to elections, and he apologized for it.
In other words, the pressure being applied is not for the same reason.
One applied pressure to censor.
One has applied pressure.
To no longer censor.
Can you spot the difference as far as how relevant this was?
Again, no one could reach it at that time, and everyone thought, for a good period of time, what he omits, people thought it was a hoax.
People thought that the story was a hoax.
It was Russian disinformation.
That's what our intelligence agency said.
If they knew at that time, during the election, that it was real, that it was Hunter Biden's laptop, that the content...
And there, it was authentic.
17% of Biden voters would have changed their vote or not voted, and that changes the outcome of the 2020 election.
It's not that it's the only example.
It's the only example where the left was caught irrefutably, and we know that just that one example would have changed the outcome, changed the course of American history.
That's why we point to it, because you'll dismiss everything.
I'll say, that's clearly bullshit as far as censor.
Censorship of conservatives, four and a half times the rate.
As far as demonetization, as far as throttling, Twitter files, Facebook leaks, you'll dismiss it.
This is one you can't dismiss.
So what they do is they skim past it.
Here's another claim that he makes.
And this one's just, he doesn't really have a basis for it, and I'll get to why, but that conservatives actually need to be censored because they're more likely to spread misinformation.
First, to the extent their posts do get flagged more, that's probably because conservatives tend to be more likely to spread political misinformation according to numerous empirical studies.
Okay, here's the truth.
No, they aren't.
Now, I'll start with the exact same study that Oliver cited.
Now, he doesn't publicly post them, so we have to go find them.
It says, it is not yet known whether conservatives are more prone to spread misinformation across virtually all situations.
Well, that's...
That's his own study.
But that doesn't make it obvious.
Right.
I didn't read the page two, Stephen.
I can't be bothered to read what my intern sent me!
Other studies, meaning all other studies, show that sources of misinformation come from both.
The left and the right at similar rates.
Here's the other thing that he's not mentioning to you.
Those who determine what is and what is not misinformation, the fact-checking sites, we now know are radically left.
And they don't rate leftist misinformation as misinformation at all.
Politico, Washington Post, AP, Reuters.
Keep in mind, these are the same places who didn't rate it as misinformation when those on the left were saying, Ilhan Omar didn't marry her brother.
They had the marriage certificate.
They didn't rate Russia collusion as disinformation.
You know what?
Perfect example, Hunter Biden laptop.
It was never rated misinformation, at least not initially, when the story emerged that it was Russian disinformation.
That was, in fact, misinformation.
It was a real laptop that revealed criminal activity of the Biden family.
The left said...
It's Russian propaganda.
These fact-checking sites didn't label that misinformation.
So the fact that we have any studies that show actually it's a split...
It's kind of surprising to me because who's going to call the left on misinformation?
Who's going to conduct that study?
They define it.
That's my problem with hate speech, misinformation, disinformation.
They define what that is and then go, see, you fit in the definition.
Of course I do!
You drew me into it!
You drew the circle around us and said, that is misinformation and disinformation.
And by the way, you forgot 2022, not even being able to cover the midterms because you two kicked us off.
That's right.
YouTube.
Sorry.
YouTube kicked us off.
We weren't...
Biggest election stream of all time.
We weren't able to cover it.
Yeah.
I believe that because you quoted the CDC. Probably.
That was one of them?
No, that was one of them.
But Carrie Lake was the one.
I think she was talking about her own election, which she ended up winning.
The runoff.
Yeah.
Or not the runoff, but the primary.
Right.
Yeah.
By the way, as far as misinformation, references available, this very program was rated as completely untrustworthy.
Not because of facts, but because of jokes.
Look at where we are!
We are worse misinformation than Russia today.
Yeah, they're like, no, they said they had Maisie Hirono on the show, but I think it was a guy.
Yes.
We reached out to them.
They said, well, the insults actually make it less trustworthy.
Humor.
Really?
So that's what justifies it.
Okay, well, here's another fact check.
You fascist cock!
How about that?
There we go.
Oh, we just moved closer to misinformation, even though we're the only ones who actually provide The information is publicly available.
Yep, we make jokes.
There's ad hominem.
It's childish.
We insult.
Guess what?
We also hold all of our information out for everyone to see.
Go check the ones today.
Largely leftist sources.
Just as left as John Oliver to make our point.
Here's another claim that he makes as though it's relevant.
He says, well, it doesn't matter because there are three times as many conservative influencers as liberal ones.
Three times as many explicitly conservative news influencers as liberal ones on the site.
Okay, here's the truth.
Yeah, that's in spite of the left, not because of it.
Sure, we're here, but we weren't here for the 2022 election, and we have been demonetized, unlike those on the left.
So those on the left, like yourself, are favored in the algorithms.
We're technically allowed to be here when we're not suspended, but we're just demonetized and shadow banned.
Which, you know, is what you call fairness.
And by the way, the reason that conservatives moved online early on, it's the same reason that the only way that you know about Monica Lewinsky and Bill Clinton is because of Matt Drudge, the Drudge Report.
All the other major publications, mainstream publications, they had that information.
They had access to it.
They punted it.
Matt Drudge didn't.
Okay?
That's the only reason you know about that story.
Because he went online.
Because no one would cover on ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, MSNBC. No one would touch it.
So conservatives, knowing that they wouldn't get a fair shake in legacy media, immediately jumped on online content for the same reason that Joe Rogan created his podcast online.
Because they didn't play well with legacy media.
So I would expect alternative media, certainly when it's budding, to, yeah, be a platform or platforms that conservatives would seek out because they weren't allowed to be on any platform before that.
And every single, we've done so many segments on this, every single study ever conducted, or examination audit of the finances shows that mainstream media has been left-leaning across all of Western civilization to the tune of 90-something percent.
And then what people on the left said is, well, hold on a second, no one silenced it, you just can't get on these networks.
Okay, we went online.
So, no one's saying you can't be online.
You just can't be on YouTube.
You can't be on Facebook.
You can't be on X. Go and make your own internet.
Well, we did!
We did, and then Truth Social gets banned by governments, and then Rumble gets banned by governments.
We migrated from YouTube, never should have had to, to Rumble, and then governments still try to ban Rumble.
And not just governments, but Diageo and advertising agencies say, hey, Rumble, unless you remove Louder with Crowder, we will never advertise.
We will render your entire company.
Financially insolvent.
Does that actually sound like go and make your own platform?
They constantly move the goalposts.
The only thing that's consistent is they don't want voices with which they disagree.
Exactly.
They don't have control of the space.
That's what they want.
Right.
We created it because they owned all of media.
All of it.
All of the pillars of media were owned by the left.
All right.
We're going to go over here.
You're just mad that we went to the medium that more people watch than you.
You're pissed off that we went, we saw where the puck was going, like you like to say, and we went there and did a better job than you guys.
All we're saying is, don't screw it up.
It's fine.
Come in here and have your bad ideas, so that we can point and laugh at it.
John Oliver, never go away!
Please.
Please, don't go away!
Please, stick around.
To debunk you.
I still miss the days of Samantha Bee.
You do?
Aw.
It was fun.
Aw.
Laziest woman in show business.
Sorry, I mean, beautiful and brave.
Where's the lispy queer woman?
Here's...
The next claim that John Oliver makes.
That, well, here's another justification, I should say.
That there was too much COVID misinformation out there.
And so actually, the Biden administration and big tech, they had to step in and stop it for, you know, the good of the public.
And around that same time, he was also being yelled at by Biden's White House.
Because as the COVID vaccine was rolling out, a lot of misinformation was circulating on Facebook.
Biden himself said at one point of Facebook that they're killing people.
Okay, here's the truth.
We got banned for quoting the CDC death statistics on toddlers comparing the flu versus COVID. We gave you the table from the CDC. Yep.
California's numbers for the last 10 years.
I would ask you, how are we killing people?
How are we killing people in saying that far more children, I believe, under the age of five die from the flu every year than total have ever died from COVID? How are we killing people?
I would argue that you are putting people at risk by lying to them for political expediency.
So he says, Biden was concerned about people dying.
Okay, we quoted the CDC. We were removed.
Suspend it.
Please make the case.
There are hundreds more like them.
How about a governor and doctors from some of the best medical institutions around the world, Governor DeSantis, being removed from YouTube just for talking about it?
Right.
Do you remember that?
Yep.
Well, here's the other truth is that the Biden administration launched...
An unprecedented, in the United States, massive online censorship campaign, even creating a department.
The only reason that department didn't last more than, I believe, three months is because people on alternative platforms were able to cover the corruption of the department.
They even included the kind of content that needed to be censored.
Any evidence that the government may have mishandled the epidemic?
I don't know if you know this, more COVID deaths under Biden than Donald Trump.
How many lives did he save?
He came in starting on third base.
Already had the vaccine, the mRNA injection.
Already had the lockdowns, the flattening of the curve.
Already had all of the information.
We'd already done the social distancing.
People were wearing masks.
Support of the media.
Yeah.
How did Biden...
End up with more deaths under his watch.
Can you explain that one to me?
If he was so busy saving lives?
Hey, maybe because at that point in time, information that actually could help people, like, I don't know, the death tables from the CDC, were being censored.
Think about it.
This is the issue, is when you create, when you censor based on political expediency, guess what?
You do so and you have to place it behind this veneer.
Of public safety, you actually put the public at risk.
Anytime you lie to what is supposed to be a free public, anytime you lie to them, you are putting them at risk.
That's the truth.
The Biden administration lied.
And right now, John Oliver is...
Lying to you.
And he won't allow himself to ever be called on those lies.
This is not ignorance.
This is proactive lying.
I would argue this borders on propaganda.
He will never put himself in the arena to defend the lies because, as we have said, John Oliver is a big old pussy.
I am a pussy.
And that is frankly a wild thing to say.
I'm telling you, I am a pussy.
Oh!
Sorry if this is how you found out, but I'm telling you that I am a pussy.
I like that we cut his head off at the bottom of it.
Yeah, just his little eyes and his nose.
Half his nose.
It's such a bizarre time where comedians are advocating for censorship.
Yeah, I never understood that.
These are the people that, if they were in their time, would be calling Lenny Bruce to go to jail.
Richard Pryor shouldn't be able to say those things to white folks.
George Carlin shouldn't.
Whoa, the seven deadly words.
Yeah.
They would have lost their minds.
Seven words that you can't say on TV. Now that's about 700 words you can't say on YouTube.
You have comedians.
They're bleeping out the word retarded.
Which is retarded.
I had to.
I know.
I know.
But talk about neutering.
I didn't actually do it.
It's just demonetized.
I don't make any money on it.
But I quoted my actual brother who is retarded, has Down syndrome, quoted him saying that.
Boom.
Yeah.
Demonetized.
And people like John Oliver, people like the Sarah Sylvans of the world, they cheer it.
They cheer it.
They don't want to be edgy.
They don't want to break new ground.
They just want to present that way.
And so what do they do?
Oh, okay, let's go make fun of conservatives.
Let's go make fun of Christians.
Yeah, oh, all right.
Okay, you're quite the pioneer there.
You're the tip of the spear.
And we're going to continue, actually.
For those of you who are not Rumble Premium members, we have some updates for you.
You can click that button.
We're going to be playing Bad Movie Lines as well.
Right now they're talking about...
Doge on CNN. We'll get to that in a little bit.
But we also had several Joy Reid sketches with the time to close.
But we also had this little ditty and we didn't run it.
So let's run this before we get in with the updates.
But this is actually a pretty fun...
Yeah, run it.
I'm gonna...
Good evening, everyone.
This is our first chance to be together one-on-one since the election.
Oh, no, I don't want that.
