🔴 False Reality: What Joy Reid's Firing Exposes About The Left
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
*music* What does overpaying on your taxes feel like?
*music* About like that.
Don't let the IRS bust your balls.
Visit tnusa.com slash Crowder or call 1-800-958-1000 for immediate relief and expert guidance.
Ooh.
Oh, gosh, why did you do that?
We'll be right back.
We'll be right back.
Yeah.
Bye.
That's the theme of the show today.
Speakers are afraid.
Okay, good.
Whoa, hold on a second.
This guy on CNN just crawled out of a sewer.
It's like Macaulay Culkin's older brother.
Yeah, yes.
He looks like Macaulay Culkin had a baby with splinter.
Propaganda is a theme of today because you know Joy Reid was fired and that's fun and funny.
But the freak out of the left.
That this show was of value.
And it's a microcosm.
We'll get to Rachel Maddow.
We'll get to people talking about it.
We'll get to Don Lemon.
You have what the left...
Tell me my left or your right.
So should I do...
You shouldn't worry about it.
Okay.
My left or your right.
You have the left and then you have reality.
And that's really the fracture that we are seeing right now in this country.
Is that reductive?
Sure.
Do you agree with it?
Before I explain it, comment below.
Do you agree with that?
The left...
And reality.
The left, virtue signal.
Until our last dying breath.
Males and female sports.
Reality, the vast majority of Americans think you're out of your mind.
The left, these are great government employees, but we can't slash...
The reality, all-time low as far as American trust in their institutions.
The left, racist.
The right, crime statistical realities.
You have been the experiment.
Of a multi-decade long propaganda war in this country.
And the left now is freaking out.
What you are seeing is a manifestation.
You're simply seeing the symptoms of the left realizing that it's not working.
That's what's happened.
Whether it's Hegseth, whether it's Bongino, whether it's Patel, whether it's RFK Jr., or it's Joy Reid being fired, or it's banning Twizzlers from Snap.
We really are at a point in this country.
It's the left versus reality, and we're going to lay out the top five examples of that.
We're also going to talk about the SAG Awards, Den Crenshaw Boulevard, and the potential governorship of Vivek.
So there's a lot going on.
If at some point today there will be some Indian jokes because we're talking about Vivek, you may see this on YouTube.
Head on over to Rumble and watch.
It's a weekday show, 10 a.m.
Eastern, and those of you who watch on YouTube comment, Have you downloaded the Rumble app?
You can download it on your TV, on your phone.
We're going to stop streaming to YouTube at some point.
Some point this year, we've told you, if you're still a diehard YouTuber, my question to you is, my God, why?
And how does it feel to suck?
Captain Morgan, good to see you.
Good to see you, too.
I'm glad to hear that your doctor's appointment went well.
It did.
Good blood pressure.
Well, you stayed longer than you had to.
It was a proctologist and Josh Feierstein.
Was the doctor.
Look at you.
I knew I recognized that beard.
I recognize it from watching Shogun.
They all have beards like this.
It's a good show.
I aboil him to see what it feels like to die.
Yes.
That guy's my favorite character.
It's a godless culture that doesn't value human life.
Let's go.
Really quickly, so we're going to do a whole segment on the left versus reality, but that includes Joy Reid.
Have you guys seen this, though?
Don Lemon reacted to this.
And again, you have to remember, I know you maybe knew.
Do you know this?
Don Lemon had, my God, a show on CNN. Think of that propaganda.
CNN tried to convince you that anyone on Earth actually wanted to watch Don Lemon in primetime.
Yeah.
That's what we lived.
And now he has gone full bore insane in regards to Megyn Kelly having made comments on Joy Reid that are very accurate.
And Don Lemon, it's almost like a house cat being out in the wild with no claws.
Like he doesn't realize if you just throw out the accusation of racism, homophobia, transphobia, but you don't have the protection of Turner Broadcasting, it doesn't work and it ends badly.
But here he is trying anyway.
Joy Reid is a woman.
Megyn Kelly is a woman.
She's supposed to be all about women.
You know, supports women.
Okay, so this is what she said.
Remember when Joy Reid laughingly mocked white women tears as pathetic and offensive to her?
Who's crying now, Joy?
Good riddance to the absolute worst person on television and shame on NBC for letting it go on this long.
And she has a, you know, she is an axe to grind when it comes to MSNBC and also, you know, this whole, she's racist, right?
I'm going to give you the evidence.
Pause!
Hey, Don, I don't know if you know how this works, Mr. Lemon Party, but online, you actually do have to give the evidence.
But you won't.
Let's continue.
Supposedly learned from and then spent every day after apologizing for it and being fired for it, then spent every day proving the point that she is a racist.
Show it.
No, Megyn Kelly.
The worst person on television was fired from NBC and the Today Show.
A few years ago, and that's Megyn Kelly.
Let me just say to Megyn Kelly, in my 30-some years as a journalist, in my 50-some years as a person of color, go f*** yourself.
Okay?
Well, that would do better on OnlyFans than if you...
Does he not know his own age?
Is he wearing a 50-something year...
Is he wearing a velour black hoodie?
It might.
I don't know.
Yeah!
He's like, run DP me, now!
I don't have to provide...
This is the issue, right?
These people come and they start swimming in these waters.
Don, you don't have the protection of a network with you.
Let me tell you how this works.
You have to provide evidence.
You have to provide value.
I get that you're trying to do the whole social drama for clout.
It's new to you.
But if you don't have any receipts, this doesn't go really well for you.
And I don't know if you've been looking at the polling coming from the American public.
They're done.
They're done with your claims.
They're done with the accusations of racism and homophobia.
What they do is they actually circulate.
They create these propaganda campaigns.
People in media wanted you to believe that Megyn Kelly was racist.
Right?
So they campaigned with that.
They created an entire campaign to make you believe that she was racist and then hang that on your neck going, see, see, everyone knows you're racist.
No, no, no.
You made up that lie.
I don't know if you remember.
The reason that Megyn Kelly was fired was for the oh-so-racist comment that she made regarding being effectively a fan of Diana Ross.
We have the clip.
There was a controversy on the Real Housewives of New York with Luann, and she dresses Diana Ross, and she made her skin look darker than it really is, and people said that that was racist.
And I don't know, I felt like, who doesn't love Diana Ross?
She wants to look like Diana Ross for one day.
I don't know how, like, that got racist on Halloween.
It's not like she's walking around in general.
I have not seen it.
That was it?
Call her Mrs. David Duke.
Jeez.
And this is the thing.
You have people out there who believe that Megyn Kelly is...
I know what you're thinking.
There must have been something else.
Nope!
That's the statement.
Comment below.
You may like Megyn Kelly.
You may not like Megyn Kelly.
She's been a friend to the show.
I agree with her on a lot.
I disagree with her on some.
But to say that she's racist, that's what got her fired.
Wow.
Well, Don Lemon's whole premise to his argument was, hey, their genitals are the same.
They should be friends.
Yes.
That's literally how he started that clip.
Right.
Yeah, exactly.
Well, that's how you view sex life, so.
Yes.
Just mashing.
My son with his Tonka trucks.
All right.
I don't think this ends well for Donald.
Poor guy.
He goes from CNN. He goes from CNN to then have a show.
He had a show on X. For like half a minute.
Poor guy.
Nah, dude.
He's got money and he's been spewing this propaganda for years.
Nah, poor guy.
He's been spewing something.
Screw him.
He tried to sell a book.
Tried to sell a book.
And then he does the man in the street stuff.
And I've never seen a man.
Who does his own man-on-the-street interviews get owned by unsuspecting subjects and then think that it's a wise decision to upload it himself?
Yeah, that's the worst part.
You keep that to yourself.
Yeah, you keep it to yourself.
Learn from it, move on.
I mean, it's always, you know, we were sort of performing without a net when we did things like Change My Minds.
We're like, well, we sit, barring trolls who sit down and, you know, start screaming something insane.
We're like, we upload it, unedited.
That's the rule.
It's tough to do, but he does edit, and he still uploads them.
Guys, can we bring that?
Let's bring up a highlight later on of Don Lemon's greatest owns of man on the street.
It's just so much fun.
Something else here while we're talking about this.
Can we move?
Okay, good.
Yeah, Lemon's old news.
Mr. Representative Dan Crenshaw.
Now, full disclosure, he's been on the show.
Okay.
Been on the show quite a bit.
We've been friendly.
All right.
And I think this is being somewhat overblown.
But I also think that people who are a little bit tired of Mr. Crenshaw have good reason to be because he's not showing the telltale signs of a man with great wisdom.
So here's how the story started.
I believe someone who was interviewing him at CPAC said Dan Crenshaw said that he would kill Tucker Carlson.
And then Marjorie Taylor Greene, who's never met drama she didn't like, circulated and said that you made a threat to Tucker Carlson.
Now, Dan Crenshaw didn't make a threat to Tucker Carlson.
He said something.
Fine.
But he outright denied it.
And then there's a clip.
Now, it's not just that there's a clip.
It's that there's a clip of Dan Crenshaw saying this while he knows he's on camera, taking off his mic.
And seems to double down.
Like, people have said, how many times they're like, ah, I could kill you, Gerald!
You know?
Or you're like, ah, I could kill Josh, right?
Or you say, ah, I can't believe you did this, so I could kill you.
Whatever.
But to double down, when you know there was just a blinking red light, so it's likely still a blinking red light, like, no, no, no.
I mean it.
I'm serious.
It just seems to me ill-advised.
But you watch the clip and judge for yourself.
Thank you.
Have you ever met Tom?
We've talked a lot.
If I ever meet him, I'd kill him.
No.
He's the worst person.
So I hear if I ever meet him, I would kill him.
Yes.
He's the worst person, something, something.
Effing kill him, I think.
He said definitely kill him?
Effing.
I would effing kill him.
I think he was effing.
Yeah.
I could be wrong.
It doesn't seem to me like a person who's particularly stable.
Now, we invited him on the show.
Tucker Carlson responded to him.
Hey, if you want to host it in neutral territory.
It's quite dumb.
Assume the mic is hot.
And by the way, don't deny it.
Look, let's say I were to say, I don't know, if someone caught me in a hot mic saying like, oh boy, I'd really, you know, figuratively like to bitch slap Don Lemon.
And it got out there, okay?
You confront me about it.
Go ahead, ask me, Gerald.
Stephen, did you say that you would figuratively like to bitch slap Don Lemon?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
Like, for real?
Maybe.
Just do that!
Just own it!
Who cares?
And you know what's worse, though, to me, is anyone out there acting like you've never said, oh, I could kill this person, or oh, I want to kill this person.
Do you think he was actually threatening Tucker Carlson?
No, no.
Does he always have the tough guy act and try and rest on his military laurels?
Yeah, absolutely.
He came on this show, started mocking me for being able to deadlift more than me.
Will you kill me where I stand?
I don't know.
Give it a shot!
Could happen!
Yeah, I think he's just, he's hurt.
Yes.
You know, he's hurt.
Something Tucker did.
I don't know the whole drama situation.
You mean because of his bad positions on a lot of issues?
I think.
Maybe it's because he looks better in a vest.
I don't know why he's dressed like he's playing Clue.
I will kill, I'll kill Tucker Carlson with this candelabra!
In the study.
Yes.
But he doesn't mean it.
He just means, yeah, I hate that guy and I would like to fight him.
Yeah.
But sometimes it doesn't come out like that because you get emotional or you're mad.
Somebody asks you a question you weren't ready for and you go, yeah, I can kill him.
Like yelling at a teenage girl, which he's also...
It just doesn't really...
He doesn't seem like...
You should just come out and say that, though.
Yeah.
Like, yeah, yeah, I don't like it.
Yeah, no, I don't like that.
Yeah, I said that.
I didn't mean I'm not going to actually kill him.
Obviously, I'm a senator.
He's the...
Come on.
I just mean, like, I'll challenge him to a fight.
Right.
Or a duel.
Yes.
In Texas.
Mutual combat.
There you go.
My money would be on Dan Crenshaw if there was an actual fight.
That doesn't go well for Tucker Carlson.
I prefer Tucker Carlson as a host, probably in this argument of ideas generally.
I don't agree with either of them.
But as far as a physical fight, if I were a betting man, I'd bet on Crenshaw.
I bet I'm a Navy SEAL with one eye.
Yeah, I would too.
I mean, you don't know.
Maybe Tucker could be really evasive.
He could be like a Pernell Whitaker, right?
Because you know that Crenshaw doesn't have the depth perception.
You'd think there's five of me, Crenshaw.
I can't!
SAG Awards!
Last night, Jane Fonda used her acceptance speech at the Screen Actors Guild.
To fearmonger against Trump's America, SAG. No.
Here's a clip.
And by the way, again, remember, Jane Fonda, a very long time ago, you have been the experiment.
You've been subject to decades-long propaganda.
You're just finding out about it now.
Welcome.
The water is warm.
And we'll get to Jane Fonda's past for those of you who don't know.
Make no mistake, empathy is not weak or woke.
And by the way, woke just means you give a damn about other people.
Back to empathy.
A whole lot of people are going to be really hurt by what is happening, what is coming our way.
And even if they're of a different political persuasion, we need to call upon our empathy and not judge.
Hey, you're about to give its last beat.
I had a big tent when I watched those workout tapes in the 90s.
Oh, I've never slept in a tent.
Oh, watch this.
like apartheid or our civil rights movement or Stonewall, and asked yourself, would you have been brave enough to walk the bridge?
Would you have been able to take the hoses and the batons and the dogs?
Would you have been brave enough to walk the bridge?
We don't have to wonder anymore.
Who is she talking to?
Because we are in our documentary moment.
This is it.
And it's not a rehearsal.
The hoses, the dogs, the batons?
I don't know.
Would you, Jane?
Let's try it out.
You feel like a piece of pie at the local diner, bitch?
Give up a slice.
Nobody agrees with her there.
People are kind of nodding like, what is she talking about?
I think we have to clap.
Look, it's been propaganda for a long time.
I'm sorry.
Comparing the actual plight of an entire race of people who did face systemic discrimination because of an immutable characteristic, the melanin level in their skin, is not the same.
It's not comparable as...
Property sharing to people of a different preference of friction.
It's not the same as biological males wanting to beat the shit out of women in their own sports.
It's propaganda.
It's been propaganda for a long time.
You're just seeing it now because it's so absurd.
The left, this idea of progress, it's progress for progress's sake.
There's no value backbone.
That's why first principles do matter.
It does matter.
People who say I take issues on an individual basis all the time, that's a fool.
That's a fool.
That's a fool's errand if you don't have an ism, if you don't have a worldview.
The left doesn't have any kind of a moral framework, and so it's progress for the sake of progress.
And so now they're at the point where they...
Does anyone out there...
Let's say that you're socially liberal.
Do you believe that today's trans movement, LGBTQAAIP +, no joke, movement, is comparable to the Civil Rights Act?
Does anyone actually believe it?
Yeah, I'm brave enough to walk across the bridge because they're not hosing anybody down.
Yes, exactly.
Yeah.
They're not burning down buildings, entire streets.
Yeah.
They're not arresting people for being trans.
They believe their job is, and we'll get to government workers, is virtue signaling.
Yeah.
This is not a dress rehearsal!
How much was your dress?
While you're helping the downtrodden, the poor, right?
You're alleviating their plight.
What are you doing?
That's kind of the quiet part out loud, right?
Right.
It's not a dress rehearsal.
This is the real fake scenario that we're filming.
This is the real movie.
Yeah, exactly.
This is the real propaganda video.
I tell you, hurt is coming our way because everyone is going to be allowed to speak freely.
More women will be allowed to defend themselves with firearms.
There will be more opportunities for women in sports.
How about the women that are being hurt?
The last four years.
Yeah, exactly.
I don't think they're ever going to make a documentary about a man who could go take a dump in a women's restroom because he put on a wig and a muumuu.
I really don't think there's any character out there that's going to be played in 20 years.
June 13th is The Mustache.
It'd be a fun movie trailer.
Dropped a deuce.
And by the way, for those of you who don't know Hanoi Jane, she's called Hanoi Jane.
She was nicknamed that, I believe, by Rush Limbaugh.
She earned that nickname because she was pushing propaganda for Vietnamese Communists.
She traveled with North Vietnamese on a propaganda tour.
She posed with this North Vietnamese here, yeah, famous anti-aircraft gun.
She denounced American imperialism and she said, actually, you know, if you see what they're doing, their conditions are great.
They're actually not what the United States propagandists want you to believe, right?
That big thing was the Hilton.
It was referred to as the Hanoi Hilton because there were people saying, oh, it's propaganda.
Just so you know, American soldiers, and by the way, plenty of Vietnamese people, We're treated to these conditions at the Hanoi Hilton.
I believe that we have some pictures right here.
Yeah, there's an actual video out there right now of the Hanoi Hilton.
They were shackled.
They had metal bars that were rammed down their throats during interrogation.
That was just a dress rehearsal.
Right, yeah, it's just a dress rehearsal.
Yes.
And she called tortured prisoners back then hypocrites and liars.
And today she's telling you, same person, She's over the hill so it's easy to dismiss her.
What I'm telling you is she was an A-lister back then and people believed her.
Enough people believed her that they were spitting on American troops when they came home.
Your opinions on Vietnam do not matter.
The good news is very few Americans believe the celebrities now because they're pushing the same propaganda.
There's no such thing as male and female.
There are countless genders.
Hunter Biden laptop not real.
Donald Trump fascist.
Conservatives racist.
Right?
They're pushing the same exact thing.
Propaganda.
And by the way, the reason we're able to talk about this is because of Rumble.
We don't make a dime off of YouTube because YouTube favors people like the Lemons, like the Colbert's, like the Fonda's, and it's $99 annually.
Rumble Premium is Mug Club.
Mug Club is Rumble Premium, or you can try it for $9.99 a month, 100% more show, the entire catalog, and download the app.
there are more people watching youtube right now on tv than on their um devices and the rumble app is great you can install it on your device you can cast it or on your tv i highly recommend it rumble we own live it's time to cut the cord to youtube i guess just cancel youtube anything there's no cords i don't think there's no cords to cut yeah no you're good you seem trying to think there could be what you have zero f's i don't care i guess i'm at this point I love it.
You're like irritated.
There's a part of you that goes like, oh, they're trying to trust something else.
I mean, Megyn Kelly is racist.
You know what?
Hey, look, if someone trusts something else or if someone says I said something racist or sexist or homophobic, it's probably me.
I think we're just annoyed, man.
I'm tired of getting reached at by people who are, for lack of better words, less than me.
Yeah, exactly.
Well, you got money and you were on a show for years and years and years.
You think that makes you somebody?
Right.
You think that makes your opinion worth more?
Especially when it's cropped up.
It wasn't built from the ground up.
When they say woke is empathy, no, woke is ruining people's lives and ending their livelihoods.
Do you have any idea how many children?
I don't actually know the number, by the way, just so you understand.
This isn't like a rhetorical question where I know the answer.
I don't.
How many children were then thrust into poverty because one of their parents lost their job because of a tweet?
Or because of an opinion that you may disagree with.
The woke mob ended livelihoods.
And we need to stop separating your life from your livelihood.
Wars were fought for less.
Wars were fought over plots of land because it could be farmed.
The woke mob, the woke brigade, is not empathetic.
We use the term cancel culture.
People use that term.
I don't use it a whole lot.
You are ending someone's livelihood and you're doing it through means that you know are dishonest.
It's not empathy.
Because even if you thought it was empathy, you don't.
Let me prove to you that you don't.
How many black people do you think you saved by canceling Megyn Kelly?
Now I know Megyn Kelly had a big fat contract and a golden parachute so you don't feel bad for her and she's doing really well.
What about the guy who's working At a local franchise and he's a shift manager and someone has an axe to grind.
So they say that he's racist and he loses his job.
That's happened countless times.
Let me ask you this.
How many black people does that help?
How many trans people?
Hey, how many trans people are helped by the fact that Hooters has to declare bankruptcy because some crazy gender-bending moron decided to sue them because they were too fat to put on orange shorts?
Who does it actually help your empathy?
A penis looks good in those shorts, though.
It does.
It does.
It's snug.
Looks good to me.
No!
It's like a security blanket.
I won't let you say that.
It's like, are you wearing a cup?
Oh, wow.
No.
That's all Crowder.
No!
Right at table height?
Yes, no.
It's a cup.
It's a cup.
If there was no cup, frankly, I could...
I could put on some, I could bolt some on and then pass for a woman.
Yes, I'll take the sausage.
Actually, in my case, I'd be like, baked beans.
Hard-boiled egg?
Soft-boiled.
They serve boiled eggs.
I have no idea.
So gross.
It's a game.
No, I go to Hooters for pickled eggs.
It's called Peckers.
All right.
Here's the bulk here.
Some kids call this a deep dive.
Let's unpack.
We've always called these meat segments.
All the references are publicly available.
Because there's meat on the bones.
We're going to use something current as a springboard, but again, I want to lay out the case that what you are dealing with right now is the left diametrically opposed to reality.
I don't know where their own belief of their propaganda, because it's been so long...
I don't know where that stops and the new propaganda begins.
Because people pushing the propaganda know that it's not true.
And there's certainly quite a bit of that.
But then when the new generation comes in, they sort of believe the propaganda because they didn't play a role in crafting it.
So that's a question that I have for you.
I don't know the answer.
I just know that there is a lot of propaganda right now that people are weaving and they know that it's false.
Okay, so yesterday we did a time to close for Joy Reid, but she had one more rant in store for us.
I've been through every emotion from, you know, anger, rage, disappointment, hurt, you know, feeling that, you know, guilt, you know, that I let my team lose their jobs.
But in the end, where I really land.
For reference, here's a video of her half-brother figuring out where to land.
It's 2025 there, too.
Let's continue with Joy Reid.
Really land and where I've landed on today is just gratitude.
Just pure gratitude.
But also that my show had value.
And that...
Are those tears of gratitude?
That what I was doing had value.
Had value.
And in the end, I'm sorry, I try not to cry on TV. This is kind of like me on TV, so I apologize.
And then it mattered.
Okay.
In case you guys have forgotten, this is the same person talking about it.
It had value and can't believe it from a show that was propped up.
It had no value.
We'll get to the numbers.
Just last month, Reid was laughing at conservatives for thinking they were censored.
This is the same person.
Why would conservatives think fact-checking is biased against them?
I mean, what are you sharing if you keep getting fact-checked?
For false information.
Think about it.
What were conservatives sharing on Meta that was getting flagged so much?
Hunter Biden laptop?
Are they spreading?
Full hair.
COVID. False information.
And why were they so eager?
And why are Republicans in general so eager to end the idea of fact-checking?
What are they trying to share?
What is the motivation for not wanting it?
To be fact-checked.
Just something to think about while you're noodling things.
What do they want to share?
Well, we'll get to your ratings and we'll share those.
No, that's her value.
Yeah, exactly.
She does have, you say zero value, but her show did have value.
Yeah.
And it was in the negative.
Yes, it was in the negative.
Below zero.
Value.
These people say, freedom of speech does not mean freedom of reach.
So they support the throttling, shadow banning, and removal of conservatives who have actually built something from the ground up.
Think about it.
People like Joy Reid.
People like Rachel Maddow.
Would forbid you right now from tuning in and watching this of your own volition, but they feel slighted when a giant network was propped them up because they're a valuable propaganda tool to said network.
They think that's a slight because they feel so entitled to be on broadcast television.
You don't have the right to watch this.
They have the right to that airtime.
Does that make sense?
So let's draw these comparisons for you.
Okay.
The left.
All right?
Perfect.
They will tell you, and then we'll go to reality.
Joy Reid was fired because of racism.
Where Joy Reid's show, The Readout, ended tonight.
And Joy is not taking a different job in the network.
She is leaving the network altogether.
I will tell you, it is also unnerving to see that on a network where we've got two, count them, two non-white hosts in primetime.
Who cares?
Both of our non-white hosts in primetime are losing their shows, as is Katie Fang on the weekend.
And that feels worse than bad.
Give up your spot.
No matter who replaces them.
That feels indefensible.
Well, okay, it feels indefensible.
Here's the reality.
It's defensible because last week Joy Behar averaged 59,000 viewers in the demo.
Holy cow!
Whoa!
Whoa, that's really bad.
It's down 70% from the 2024 highs?
That means her highs in the demo sucked!
Make that, plus that up by 70%.
Dude, they'd be better off showing OxyClean commercials.
Yes!
Yes, they would.
Brain Rot would perform better.
And that guy's dead!
Yeah.
Show the old ones.
Who cares?
My other thing was Billy, I don't know.
Billy Mays.
Billy Mays.
That's right.
So, it feels indefensible because they're women of color, non-white.
You're a lesbian.
Do you count?
Do you fill some kind of VDI spots?
She doesn't fill any holes.
She told on herself, no matter who they replace them with, well, what if they replace them with a black, balding woman who wears wigs all the time and Fang, I'm assuming, is Asian on the weekend.
If I'm wrong, I apologize, but with the last name of Fang, it kind of narrows it down.
What if they replace him with another Asian person?
Yeah, Wang.
Replace Fang with a Wang.
What if they replace them?
I don't understand.
What if they replaced them with another lesbian Burt Ward on HGH look-alike?
Right?
That'd be baby steps forward, wouldn't it?
Burt Ward was Robin.
I was saying that she looked forward.
If she's so upset about it, she should give up her time slot.
She should.
She absolutely should.
If she wants to put herself out there and preach to the rest of us, maybe she should take a step down and be a real virtue-signaling hero.
So their defense is worse than bad.
It's indefensible.
Because she's black?
Because she's Asian?
I mean, I get that Eric Swal will probably try and bang her, but I don't understand how that makes her a good host.
It's indefensible.
It's defensible through the ratings.
You, meaning the left, they want to make sure the people right now watching, listening, you can't do that.
Because Reuters, AP, WAPO, PolitiFact say so.
They're the fact checkers, by the way.
Also, still no word on whether Ilhan Omar banged her brother.
I'll tell you she did.
But the fact checkers say, I don't know, it's still up in the air.
They don't want you to be able to choose to tune in here.
But it's indefensible to fire someone who has potentially the worst ratings ever in cable news history.
Potentially, only because we don't have records going back far enough.
Yes.
By the way, you did say Joy Behar a minute ago instead of Joy Reid.
Admonish me.
So there needs to be an admonishment.
Admonish me.
Give it to him.
You're just manifesting.
Admonish.
Here we go.
I like it.
I don't know that...
We gotta find something else.
When you like your punishment, it makes it very ineffective.
Yeah.
I do.
Dude, I spanked my son one time and he laughed.
Oops.
I was like, I can't spank my son anymore.
No, no, that's not good.
There's a laundry list of reasons as to why that's unhealthy.
Yeah.
No.
I don't want to unpack it.
No, no, no.
Everything's fine.
We don't need to unpack it.
Now, let's move on to the next one.
Because this is just joy, read, okay?
But it's just, again, it's a symptom.
The left versus reality.
The left.
Using Rachel Maddow again.
That Donald Trump, this is the statement they were making last week.
Again, it's all about being a frontrunner, telling you, hey, hey, hey, hey, you can't support this guy.
Donald Trump, don't you know?
Everyone else, the cool kids all hate him.
He's now super unpopular.
He is unpopular.
He is historically unpopular.
Wrong.
He is the least popular president in the history of modern polling at this point in his presidency.
Della Volpe at Harvard, who's very good.
I used to think, once I saw a Harvard youth poll, I discounted it.
I've come to say it's a pretty damn good poll.
Pretty good guy.
He's going from 53 approval to under 30 to 39. That's a collapse.
Is it possible the honeymoon is ending?
Propaganda.
Because there's been four different polls that have come out recently that all show Trump.
His approval rating dropping.
Either way, let's take a look at Trump's numbers right now.
This is his net approval rating.
These are polls.
Four of them released over the last week.
And you might notice there's a lot of red on the screen and a lot of negatives.
I notice there's a big, giant, dishonest pussy on the screen.
That guy loves his screens.
Yeah, he does.
A screen and a screen and a screen.
Yeah, I have one, too, on my iPad.
There's nothing new about it.
If you notice, this red is red.
Yes, exactly.
But Gerald can't, because he's colorblind.
Oh, right.
Stop it.
So again, that's designed to...
Defeat you morally.
Here's the reality.
President Trump has surprisingly impressive ratings.
Not that it matters, not that it determines the success of a presidency, but even their argument is based on a lie.
The most recent one, the Harvard-Harris poll, has his approval rating at 52%.
Now, they cherry-pick polls.
If you look at the spread, his approval rating is still pretty damn good.
Better than in his first term, from all metrics that we have available to us.
But Harvard-Harris has actually conducted these polls for a while.
So with polls, you have to pick one that actually has some kind of a track record where you can compare apples to apples.
So this is significantly higher than it was in his first term.
Let's look at another poll.
Americans who believe that the country is moving in a positive direction.
Right now it's 42%.
That's a plus 14 increase from last month, meaning that is going up.
Here's something else they don't tell you.
President Trump, his cabinet picks, which are a reflection of his administration, obviously, also have favorable numbers in the polls.
And some of them didn't beforehand.
For example, Vance was underwater in the campaign at some points.
He's at a plus four.
RFK is at a plus nine.
Tulsi's at a plus three.
Bondi's at a plus one.
Propaganda.
That's what you're dealing with.
Joy Reid's show adds value.
Propaganda.
I'm saying lie.
Jane Fonda.
Oh, actually, it's the Americans who are liars.
Donald Trump is losing favorability.
You're alone.
You're isolated.
Propaganda.
Let's move on to the next one.
The left!
What they tell you is that, oh my God, can you believe this?
Doge Elon Musk and this administration, everyone knows this, they are targeting valuable, hard-working public servants, and it's wrong.
What does the public stand to lose with these widespread layoffs?
We are important, and we do important work.
We're impactful.
I picked diapers off the side of the road, toilet paper, beer bottles, cigarettes.
Did you eat it?
Name it so you didn't have to see it.
I served as the Chief of Safety and Emergency Management at the Philadelphia VA. I used to be a NEPA coordinator for the Wrangell Ranger District of the USDA Forest Service.
As the only aquatic ecologist at the largest reservoir in the United States, my job was mostly to monitor for water quality, for recreational uses.
He's a pool guy.
You put your dipstick in the reservoir once a week?
What?
I do this with my hot tub.
Check the pH.
$170,000 a year.
Yeah.
Well, the reason that they're worried is because they know it's not a real job and they can't use that on their resume.
Yes.
There's not another place they can go and do that work.
So they want you to believe that everyone in the country, right?
And again, this is all designed to isolate you.
You're in the minority.
People need to support their public servants.
It's the most American thing you can do.
The most American thing you can do is criticize them and not trust them, in my opinion.
But here's the reality.
You are not alone.
The average American's distrust in federal institutions, the distrust is at all-time high.
Their trust in institutions is at all-time low.
It's 28%.
Oof.
28% trust?
Yeah, 28% trust in federal institutions.
And by the way, it's terrible if you look at intelligence agencies.
You can go.
Again, references available for every single show.
I highly recommend that you peruse them so that you can admonish me.
I'll give you my private cell.
Trust in the mainstream media, legacy media, is also at an all-time low.
31%.
And I should clarify, too, trust of our institutions is at near all-time low.
Mainstream media is complete all-time low.
But at this point...
Yeah, but they got the Trump bump a little bit.
It's like, ah, thank goodness Trump is coming back into office.
And the reason the left wants it is they want to preempt.
Because they know that you are actually in the majority.
And they want you to feel like you don't have a leg to stand on.
And they want people like Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth to be vilified when they reflect what you, in poll after poll, the average American know to be true, that you have no reason to trust legacy media.
media.
He handles it beautifully.
Why did you expect an underqualified, retired lieutenant general to be the next chairman of the joint?
I'm going to choose to reject your unqualified question.
Who's next?
I mean, I'm not gay.
But if I was.
He's on the exemption list.
We've got a producer here with six Emmys who yearns for him.
Yearning.
Yearning for him.
There is a burning in her loins.
It's okay.
It's natural.
Now, this is where we are.
There's the left and there's reality.
Do you guys understand that this is the sort of the dynamic that we have found ourselves in for a very, very long time?
The only new variable is that now you're Able to fact check it, which is why they want to place on a pedestal exclusive fact checkers who do their bidding.
I don't know if you know this.
You're the fact checker.
It's you.
They don't want that.
Which brings us to the next point.
The left versus reality.
This one is self-explanatory, but it unfortunately still has to be said that trans athletes Men, in women's sports, it's the civil rights issue of our time, and everyone knows it.
Later this afternoon, President Trump will sign his latest executive order targeting transgender rights, this time banning trans athletes from competing in girls and women's school sports.
MAGA, as I said, is explicitly a Nazi ideology, and they are coming after trans rights.
Trying to legislate away the trans community.
Those people deserve...
So that was a transgender cyclist and the creator of the douchey hipster starter kit.
I think that's Doc Holliday.
Or Wyatt Earp, one of the two.
I'll be your gash, Barry.
Now, handlebar mustache, and he made a point, she made a point to put the bicycle, the fixie behind them.
Like, just in case you didn't realize I was a total unlikable prick.
Yeah, oh, I also hate you on the road.
Get off my TV and get out of my lane.
Quit wagging your butt at me, you weirdo.
Why do you guys all meet up at Starbucks on Wednesday mornings?
I hate it.
Yes.
Well, I think they use third wave coffee roasters.
They would turn up their mustachioed handlebar nose at Starbucks.
Do you notice, too, with trans, and I know we have to continue with this montage because we're making the point, again, the point is that they're saying it's a trans issue of our time, but do you notice that when females become male, like trans, they're transgenders, they don't just, they never come out looking like...
Josh or Tim or Gerald.
It's always some kind of a douchebag.
It's always a hipster with handlebar mustaches.
It's always Chaz Bono with a chin-strap beard.
It's always some negative stereotype of a guy who the rest of us wouldn't want in our locker room, not because they're trans, but because they're a self-important dick.
Wallet chains and Jordans.
Yeah, exactly.
This is what guys do, right?
We wax our mustaches and we ride fixie bicycles.
The shitty ones.
Johnny Depp bracelets.
Yeah, exactly.
You chose a low-rent guy to be called?
Obsessed with truth.
Yes.
I've always believed I was a man.
Fine.
So, let's continue with the montage.
It's a right, whatever, whatever.
Those people deserve as much as the rest of us to be able to play sports.
This is part of a systematic attack by the Trump administration on transgender people.
Not just youth, but people of all ages.
Okay, trans DJ Khaled.
Basically, he worked on the HIV project as well.
It's not a project!
It's a pretty simple process!
Stop screwing, guys!
At truck stops, problem solved!
Problem solved.
Or 50 Cent Rubber.
Or taxpayer subsidize, prep bills, all that stuff.
Because, you know, you can't be held accountable for your behavior.
Here's the reality.
Americans aren't buying it.
They want to isolate you.
They want you to feel like you're some kind of a fascist, like you're some kind of a Nazi, like you're anti-trans, that you have a phobia, which I guess you get over through touch therapy if you're Eddie Murphy on a corner in Los Angeles.
Most recent New York Times poll on banning men in women's sports.
New York Times poll.
79% support it.
Including 67% of Democrats.
Wow.
The other 21% don't know how to play sports.
Yes, exactly.
And by the way, that's an upward shift.
Remember how people, again, the doomers out there.
And I've seen a lot of them because I've been around since 2008. You can go check the blue bed sheet on YouTube saying things only get worse.
We're at the worst point.
No, no, no, no, no.
Here's a swing.
Anyone who tells you this last election was about the economy, they need a CAT scan.
There's a reason that Donald Trump, Randy, Kamala is for they, them, Donald Trump is for us, because, yeah, the culture issue was a bigger one.
It was common sense.
It was what everyone knows to be true versus propaganda.
That's what this election was about.
It's not hero worship for Donald Trump.
They're basically avatars for the rest of us.
Enough Americans, 79%, said, yeah, yeah, this is too far.
This is too far.
The left is still on the side of propaganda.
It's a civil rights issue.
We are not buying it.
And I'm glad that you say that I seem like I don't have F's to give this morning, and that's true.
President Trump didn't.
We ran this yesterday, but I always want to rerun it in dealing with Maine's governor who believes that her job primarily, or her primary role, is virtue signaling.
Watch her do it.
The NCAA... Has complied immediately, by the way.
That's good.
But I understand Maine.
Is Maine here?
The governor of Maine?
Are you not going to comply with it?
I'm complying with state and federal laws.
Well, we are the federal law.
You better do it.
I am the law.
Because you're not going to get any federal funding at all if you don't.
And by the way, your population, even though it's somewhat liberal, although I did very well there, your population doesn't want men playing in women's sports.
So you better comply, because otherwise you're not getting any federal funding.
Good, I'll see you in court.
I look forward to that.
That should be a real easy one.
And enjoy your life after governor, because I don't think you'll be in elected politics.
I just love RFK. Isn't that clip just trying to look comfortable?
I didn't see him.
He's just sitting there like...
Gross, dad.
Do you need some ice for that?
Burn!
If anyone is watching from Maine, I want to know how you feel.
If you're parents or if you just got out of school, I want to know how would you feel about that?
Your governor saying she's okay with losing federal funding just so that a couple dudes can dominate the track or dominate a volleyball court?
It's worth a couple kids?
Yeah.
By the way, they can still play sports.
They just can't beat up on chicks.
Are you willing to lose federal funding for that?
It's only a handful.
Yeah, but displacement isn't only a handful.
Second is different from first, and third is different from second, and fourth is different from third.
And if you were going to be third and now you're sixth, guess what?
That changes the course of your life.
Oh, you know, as the left calls it, empathy.
Woke.
Let's go to the final one that we are dealing with right now.
And this kind of, it comes off of what we were dealing with yesterday.
It's just so funny.
Amy Klobuchar.
The left.
The propaganda.
Is that, you know, for crying out loud, this is abusive.
It's toxic masculinity.
It's patriarchy.
It's fascism.
It's, insert whatever here, it's abusive to ask workers what kind of work they're doing.
Elon Musk ordered federal employees who have been working from home to report to the office this week.
Ordered them to explain why they should have a job next week.
By giving him examples of what they accomplished last week.
He demanded five examples by midnight tonight.
The morale is, of course, abysmal right now.
We are being told we're not worth the money that is spent on us.
This is just another step in the dehumanization and harassment.
Of employees who have only worked to serve the American people.
Chris Kirkpatrick's not aging well.
Now.
I'll just say, that's the guy that women trans do.
Yes, exactly.
That's the dude.
I went into the barbershop and I said, give me these Xerxes.
Now.
That's the propaganda.
They want you to believe that you're in the minority if you think people should, you know, be held accountable for their jobs.
Here's the reality.
All references available.
And one of these references is...
Quite a bit of fun.
I highly recommend you check it out.
The Reddit Fed News, the Reddit that exists at the message board.
This is from two years ago, just so you know.
The reality is that a lot of federal workers don't do anything.
Why?
Because they've said so.
They've since gone in and deleted their posts.
So this was a question on the Reddit feed there of Fed News.
It said, how many hours do you spend a day or week working?
Here are quite a few answers.
Probably 20 to 25 a week, sometimes more, sometimes less.
How could it be less?
There's no reward for working hard and no punishment for being lazy.
New rules!
Here's another one.
I rarely hit 40 hours a week of actual work.
Most weeks, it's 20 hours a week of real work.
The other 20 are prep, reading, or thinking while staring at the screen.
Another one.
Honestly, I find it hard to not be bored.
I can finish.
All my tasks before lunch and I'm really just sitting there waiting for someone that needs help.
This was all over.
This was a message board, effectively, a form, a subreddit where people were talking about their experiences working for the federal government and they've since been wiped because those same people now want to push the propaganda.
I work so...
I work hard.
I work just as hard as anyone else and I deserve this job.
You don't deserve the job and you don't work hard.
I haven't seen a 40-hour work week since I was a teenager.
There's no way to cut, Stephen.
How dare you?
By the way, I want us to fact check this.
I think not one agency uses over 50% of the space that they have, which means that we are paying for people that are not doing their job, and we're paying for space that they don't even use.
Yeah.
Insane.
How much work do you think those 78,000, whatever the number is, plus new IRS employees are doing?
To be fair, I don't really want them to do a ton of work.
I got some things I'm trying to hide.
Right.
No, that's exactly right.
I wouldn't say that on air, Josh.
We are live.
And I just don't want them to exist.
And then we went through this yesterday where the left thinks this is a dunk.
This shows you how out of touch they are.
They're so separated from reality.
They think that you, you, the average American worker working, you know, not in the public sector, in the private sector, that you'll be impressed.
You'll be impressed by their list of accomplishments.
Amy Klobuchar over the last week.
Five things I did last week, Mr. Musk.
One, successfully asked you to rehire 300 nuclear and avian flu workers you accidentally fired.
I'm sure he got right on that because of you.
Number two, pressed you to pay attention to rising household costs.
Okay, number three.
Stand up for vets!
Well, sit back down, you fat bitch.
Did you notice they were orbiting you?
Number four.
Fought against your tax cuts for the rich, alright?
Five.
Stood with Ukraine instead of Russia.
So hold on a second.
Your accomplishments this last week are your opinions?
The two of them were just standing.
Yeah.
I mean, I'm a fat guy, but standing's not one of the hard things I do every day.
And they try and act like they're fighting for you.
Send a tweet.
Think about this.
You have people who are maimed in battle who keep going, and you're like, no, no, not until they, not until I'm dead.
I'll fight with my last breath.
Like, you know, I could very easily be sitting, but I will not.
Some people sit.
I'll stand.
Sometimes.
Sometimes I'll sit.
I mean, you know, I'm not a machine, but sometimes I won't sit.
I'll stand.
I'm willing to do that for you.
Number three, stood up for vets.
I didn't see Governor Abbott doing that.
And by the way, Eric Swalwell posted one through five fight fascism.
Did he really?
Well, I think he was saying find fascism.
It's in a Chinese spy's vagina.
Me so sorry!
What a dumb tweet, dude.
Here's a video.
I believe he actually had a video to accompany it.
Oh, good.
Oh, okay.
There you go.
Fought fascism!
Fought fascism!
Okay.
So you didn't...
Eric Swalwell adds a plug.
By the way, I guess that's on his list!
You had that video made!
No, no, he did one thing five times.
Yes, one thing five times.
By the way, they're talking about it right now on CNN. Oh, watch.
Look, look at this.
They're talking about this right now.
What have you done?
Watch, I guarantee you I know what they'll say.
They'll say, and then there were other heads of departments, for example, Cash Patel saying, please, no more replies because they are so disorganized.
No, what they're saying is we have enough right now.
They needed to find out just how much waste there is.
And at a certain point, when you have a bunch of people who are clearly making stuff up, you go, all right, I think we get the gist here.
This is where we are, the left versus reality.
Is there any more clear examples?
Anyone out there?
A genuine question.
Anyone out there impressed with Amy Klobuchar's five accomplishments of the week?
Genuine comment.
How do you fight fascism?
I mean, I know how my grandfather did it.
Yeah.
Right.
Shooting Nazis.
Yeah.
Right.
But how does Eric Swallow fight...
I want to know.
That's the whole point of the email.
Okay, great.
You follow fascism.
Good.
Thank you.
Now, what does that mean?
What is it you do here?
Yes, exactly.
How did you do...
What is it, an email you wrote?
Or you went out...
Were you killing people?
Were you fighting?
Did you commit murder?
Were you shooting people in the streets?
Were you...
He just chugs himself.
Were you physically fighting?
Were you organizing something with a Chinese spy?
How did you fight it?
They think this is going to land well.
Yes, please, lean in.
We were sitting there going, oh my god, just to listen.
Trump on Musk's email.
I thought it was great.
Of course.
Let's see what he's saying.
People are not answering because they don't even exist.
That's how badly...
Various parts of our government were run by and especially by this last group.
Of course, there is no evidence that there are vast numbers of federal employees who do not exist.
I'm sure there's email addresses that weren't scrubbed.
I think he's being dramatic, and then these guys go, oh, there's emails that don't get scrubbed.
People leave, they get fired, and then email stays, and then it's in the directory.
That happens all the time.
Donald Trump is making the point that it's inefficient, that we don't know what's going on.
Up next, we are going to fact-check Donald Trump's claim regarding ghost employees.
Yes.
There's no evidence of that.
This is the same line they use.
There's no evidence of widespread voter fraud.
Really?
Well, who's going to look into it?
Thanks, guys.
There's no evidence that Ilhan Omar married her brother.
What's that, a marriage certificate?
We don't know.
It's up in the air.
Well, just hold on.
Just look at it.
I hate these people.
So, and we have to do this here at this company.
We do.
We were talking about what we had done yesterday, five things just before.
And then we also realized that we have a lot of weird things that we have to do at this office that aren't quite typical of most offices.
So we had all of our employees reply with a list of things they did here at the office last week.
And that brings us to this week's 7 Plus 1. And by the way, all of these are actually...
Reality-based, just to be clear.
Things that actually had to be done.
7 plus 1, things we actually had to accomplish at Loud Earth Crowder last week.
Number 7, Captain Morgan.
Edited the background for the James Carville interview to reflect the background of every James Carville interview.
Yeah, look, and we nailed it.
We nailed it.
By the way, there were like four edits until we said, no, that's the background.
We actually got it.
I think you could have had some more sacking jowls, but...
Yes, that's about it.
A wicker chair, maybe?
Schmutz in your mouth, but yeah.
Number six, we actually had to do this.
Return Tim's Mowgli diaper to dry cleaning.
Yeah.
That was a teaser for you guys.
Sneak peek.
Yeah, that's a release shot, but it was soiled.
Seven plus one things we actually had to do.
Fighting fascism, not amongst them.
We don't have the time.
Number five, Mr. Fierstein.
Finalized, John Oliver is a pussy stinger.
Yeah.
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.
Time well spent, I say.
Yes.
You're keeping your job after that one.
Takes a lot of work.
Number four, Captain Morgan.
We found Lane a nice white girl.
Yes.
Yes.
And he changed in front of her in a phone booth.
To which he flexed.
Yeah.
It looks like he's saying, I can't hear you.
Yeah.
Louder for Lane.
He's asking her, he's like, hey, is the bathroom over there?
Behind me?
Oh, no, wait.
Do you mean, sorry, is it there?
Oh, sorry.
These are all based on real things, by the way.
Number three.
Filed expense reports for reimbursements for visits to Twin Peaks, Tilted Kilt, Tight Ends, Bikinis, Bone Daddies, Bottoms Up, and Redneck Heaven for the research on the Hooters segment.
But you guys didn't even go to Hooters.
There's not a Hooters for like 47 miles around here.
Oh.
All right.
Okay.
Number two.
Hey, Steven.
How long does it normally take to get reimbursed?
I don't know.
Maybe two or three weeks, I think.
Number two.
Hey, Stephen.
Is that going to be direct deposit?
It's probably direct deposit, Billy.
Okay, that's probably a question for accounting.
Thank you.
Number two.
Had to curate embarrassing soundbites for this week's soundboard.
Drop off my penis, you know.
Hey, that took a while for Billy to do.
It takes a while.
You have to go through the show, find it, isolate it, cut it, get it into the soundboard, and then find the perfect time to chip away at his self-esteem.
There's like a whole bracket system.
That's right.
It's like March Madness.
I feel like it's an inefficient use of time.
The audience would disagree.
You and this guy on CNN right now who's clearly smelling farts.
He's always smelling farts.
And the plus, sorry, and the number one thing that we actually had to do this week took a long time because these things have to be manufactured and they have to be put into distribution was we designed new merch available for a 10% discount at CrowderShop.com.
Yeah.
Okay.
Promo code penis, you know.
Promo code doge.
Yeah, fine.
Thanks.
I see.
Yeah.
Promo code doge, Gerald.
I mean, really, no respect.
Yeah, well, the plus one is reminding Gerald whose name is on the frickin' wall.
That's been this week's 7 plus 1. I think we've made our point.
By the way, while you're dealing with the feds, don't let tax issues overpower you.
You need to have an agent.
Agents, they have direct preferred lines to the IRS. Talk to one.

April 15th, just around the corner.
The worst day of the year!
That was a pretty weak throw.
It's anti-Christmas.
It's anti-Christmas.
It is anti-Christmas.
It's what April 15th is.
The International Day of Rape.
Whoa!
I didn't have that on my Google Calendar.
I think it's just the National.
It's just the National.
It hasn't gone international yet.
You can admonish me.
You can admonish me.
I deserve it.
It's the National.

Last night in Cincinnati, the world's favorite other Indian in the cupboard, Vivek Ramaswamy, announced his bid, and not a surprise, for Ohio governor.
And that is why today I am honored to announce that I am running to be the next governor of a great state at the heart of the greatest nation known to mankind.
The state where I was born and raised.
The state where Apoorva and I raise our two sons today.
A state whose best days are still ahead.
I am honored to announce my candidacy to serve as the next governor of the state of Ohio.
The other thing is, he said he was going to, you know...
Be a governor for all people, and he's not going to be combative.
Doesn't really track with the body language and the tone.
I will not be combative!
The great state!
Well, why are you mad that it's great?
The greatest state!
I'm just hoping it brings back the Cleveland Indians.
It changes the logo to a different India.
One that does this a lot.
I think that'd be fun.
It'd be perfect with the big foam hands.
At the very end of the game.
Thank you.
Come again.
That was a bad call.
Outside.
Ball four.
Get my beer helmet.
Ball eight.
Ball twelve.
It's cap night.
Now.
You cannot steal a base.
You have to pay for it.
That's right.
You cannot rob a home run.
You have to pay for it a home run.
The good news is today, the base is 2-4-1, just for you.
But you have to make decisions.
Right now, I'm giving you that deal because I like you.
So he has, right now, as far as the early polling, he's at 46%.
So that's pretty good.
But that brings us to Vivek's actual beliefs.
Look, he's been here on the show quite a few times.
He's been a friend of the show.
He's been here in the studio.
I like Vivek.
Yeah.
There are some issues that he's presented that give me pause, to be clear.
So here would be my top questions.
And I would love, especially this is one of those scenarios where if you comment below, if you leave your question, there's a good chance that Vivek will need to answer it, especially if you're from Ohio.
And I know that he will.
He does speak to his constituents.
The first one would be, hey, Vivek, what's your view on immigration, namely H-1B visas?
Vivek has waffled on that quite a bit, and that's an issue for a lot of Americans.
He used H-1B visas for his businesses quite a few, I believe, 29 times.
And he once referred to the H-1B system as a scam and then seemed to, along with Elon Musk, say we should just uncap it.
Because America can't compete?
That's a concern.
Hopefully your voters get an answer on that, because I'm not entirely clear.
Right?
That brings us to another question.
Will you be prioritizing American workers?
So he did tweet out, the reason top tech companies often hire foreign-born and first-generation engineers over Native Americans isn't because of an innate American IQ deficit, a lazy and wrong explanation.
A key part of it comes down to the C-word culture.
Tough questions demand tough answers, and if we're really serious about fixing the problem, we have to confront the truth.
More movies like Whiplash, fewer reruns of Friends, more math tutoring, fewer sleepovers, more weekend science competitions, fewer Saturday morning cartoons, more books, less TV, more creating, less chilling, more extracurriculars, less hanging out at the mall.
Okay, that isn't bad in and of itself.
But saying that, look, if these tech workers, if these brilliant tech workers, or I should say, if the best in the world come from India, my question still remains.
And I know this will be seen as racist and I'm okay with it.
If that's true, why does India still look like India?
And I know what they say about culture, but I say, yes, yes.
But why does India look like India?
And they'll say, yeah, but the truth is they have more colleges.
And I say, yeah, well, that's actually not true.
That's complete propaganda bullshit.
But why does India still look like India?
Maybe they could use a TV. Yeah.
More books.
Yeah, more books.
In India, they need more toilets.
So my issue here is, again, this is a big concern.
I've seen some people kind of, Kind of splitting here.
I understand that sometimes you have very particularly skilled roles that require people that maybe can't be found stateside.
It's pretty rare, few and far between.
We already laid out the plan to solve the H-1B issue, and I think it's actually a viable plan.
But I do think it's important.
I do think it's...
Kind of a threshold for people who are in the Make America Great Again movement.
I don't think that you can hold the two views that we need to make America great by bringing in people who have no interest in making America great but want to send money back home.
So I'm not saying that's his view, but it is unclear.
Views on economics, great.
Views on free speech, great.
He's great on a lot of issues.
The immigration issue is...
One I'd be concerned about.
Another question I would have for Vivek is, can I have the contact info for your personal trainer?
See, that's why he's so trim.
That's why he's so trim, unlike Illinois Governor Pritzker, who starts his morning with different burpees.
But yeah, well, you know, hey.
Chris Christie's like, oh, thank God there's someone else.
I had too much Giordano's.
I had a deep dish all night.
I was sleeping with a deep dish in my pants.
More of a Lou Malnati's guy, but okay, fine.
Anybody seen that John Fetterman around?
That guy's weird.
Another question I would have for Vivek, and I think these are important questions.
We're now at the point where we can ask these questions.
What does it mean to be American?
Is an important one.
In case those of you don't remember, like this was a good example of kind of a separation or schism with sort of the MAGA, I should say, Republicans and people who think that some of it has been, the waters have been muddied.
This is Vivek and Ann Coulter.
