🔴Trump & Big Balls are Coming for Washington: What it Means to Federalize DC
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
I want to point out first that I'm very happy to be here this evening.
Thank you.
Welcome to the lineup live on Rumble.
That's 9 a.m. Eastern to 7 p.m.
Eastern.
You don't need to change that dial.
You got me.
Then after you're going to have Tim Poole, Russell Brand, Jeremy Coring, you're going to have Nick DiPaolo.
You're going to have Andrew Wilson.
You don't need to change a dial if you used a dial.
Welcome, viewers of Bongino Army from Vince.
We appreciate it.
We're not doing the Latin thing anymore.
Somalia has Starlink.
WNBA sucks.
And I don't know if you know this, but Washington, D.C., hey, the report card is in.
It's terrible.
The policies from the left have led to people, including Big Balls from Doge, by the way, prayers with him for his recovery, getting the crap beaten out of them, getting murdered in record numbers.
And it's time to federalize Washington, D.C., which is kind of weird as it exists as this municipality, but I haven't really followed local politics there much since the mayor was caught doing crack with prostitutes.
On with the show.
So, William, thank you for coming.
Gay William.
I'm sorry, Gay William.
Thank you for coming to my office today.
It's fabulous.
Minimalists.
It's masculine.
I like it.
Thank you so much.
You know, you pick up a tchotchki here.
Yeah, why am I here?
Well, the reason I brought you here is because we've received several complaints from staffers that you've been heavily disparaging Puerto Ricans in Puerto Rico.
And I think that this is out of character for you.
It's very self-deprecating.
Self-deprecating?
Hold on a second.
I'm not Puerto Rican.
But, you know, on the show, Steven says all the time, you keep my Steven's name out of your damn mouth.
William Kalen.
Okay, thank you for sitting back down.
And I'm sorry.
I think we got off on the wrong foot there.
So you're telling me that you're not from Puerto Rico.
Do I look stupid and ugly?
No, no, no, no, not at all.
I just, you're not from the island of Puerto Rico, then I just want to make sure.
Call me Puerto Rican one more time, Samuel, and I swear to God.
So you're not from that island.
You're from a.
Correct.
I'm Cuban.
I'm not a murderer, and I'm not Ricky Martin.
Okay.
Well, the point I made still stands.
You can't just disparage an entire island of people who've made a very important contribution.
Name one.
Jennifer Lopez?
Pig.
You mentioned Ricky Martin.
Sucker.
Okay.
Shakira?
Ah, Puerto Rico wishes.
Five or six million people.
I'm sure there's someone else who's important.
Five or six million stewed people.
Okay, well.
Are you Jewish?
Yes, yes, I am.
Sam, Sammy, Samuel.
You wouldn't rate Nel Brooks over the cold for a joke, would you?
Oh, absolutely not.
He's a national treasure.
So those comments you said earlier were all made in just then, right?
Serious as a heart attack.
Puerto Ricans are the worst.
But let me be the first to say your suit is fabulous.
Your tailor needs a raise.
Alright, who's the snitching Puerto Rican lover out here in that f***ing suit?

animal, that's what I know.
You're a strange animal, I've got to fall.
*Music*
Look, I'm glad to be with you, but I'm not glad.
Why, Stephen?
It's International Ripoff Crowder Day.
Got the wrong orders that we ordered online.
My tire warranty thing.
You know what that I don't want to name names because they have a chance to make it right, but 4,000 miles and they're bald.
And they're bald.
I told you about this, right?
I'll tell you this story: the tire place.
Tire place.
They screw you at the tires.
It's a 40,000 tire warranty.
I replaced tires in January and then took it back and they're like, oh, we can't because you drove 12,000 miles.
I'm like, what?
There's no possible way.
I drove 4,000.
You shot most of that time.
Yeah, exactly.
And then I have a receipt from the oil change and from the dealership.
I'm like, you literally reduced my by 3,000 miles.
There's no way.
You just, you wrote down an eight as a zero.
You're like, oh, I don't know.
We'll have to look at our machine.
It's like, it sounds like you're trying to screw me.
Anyway.
Anyway, all right.
It's the principle of the matter.
It's a principle.
You don't have a platform to talk about this.
Yeah.
I'm not going to name it.
They have a chance to make things right.
They have a chance to make things right.
But they're trying to say that they don't have to the warranty.
Like, you didn't come get an alignment at 5,000.
No, I'm doing it at 4,000 miles, dummy.
All right.
Question: Should we federalize DC?
You know, let me ask you, should I name this tire place?
That's a better question.
Should I name the tire place?
Look, Feierstein Tires has a good reputation.
I won't have you sully our name.
We wrote the right number.
The finest in Schenectady, sir.
All right.
Gerald, Captain Morgan, CEO.
You doing well?
I'm doing better than you.
Well, it's just, you know, like, is this the thing that bothers you?
Like, you can go through traumatic events, but what really causes you to snap is when it's a universal language.
Someone's Screwing you.
Yes.
And you're like, hey, I'm not trying to do anything wrong here.
I just, I drove 4,000, and my tires are bald.
Can you do the right thing?
No?
Now I have to kill all of you.
Name that movie line.
And Friday, Saturday, August 22nd.
Not a real threat.
I'm not going to hurt anybody.
22nd, 23rd at Helium Comedy Club in Portland, Oregon.
Go support live comedy.
Go watch him very funny man.
Josh Feierstein.
How is your penis?
Well, Gerald, it's doing quite nicely, actually.
Oh, don't encourage him.
What a weird question to ask me right off the top of the show, Gerald.
Where'd you get this guy?
I don't know.
AI.
I found him.
That's not AI.
That was clearly you, Gerald.
I don't even know why.
You know, I don't want to, but if I have to, if I'm contractually obligated, I will show you.
No, you're not.
I'll reread it.
No, I'm not going to.
I'll just show you.
No.
You're absolutely not expecting.
I'm okay with it.
No, you're not.
But you do not.
Because I'm an NDA.
You do need to come into my office after 5 miles for an alignment.
I'll let you know now it's all the time.
Down in the wires.
Yes.
All right.
Context that doesn't make any sense.
To palate cleanse.
Thanks, Gerald.
To palate cleanse.
Here's something funny.
It's the 80th anniversary of the atomic bomb dropped on Hiroshima.
Do you say Hiroshima or Hiroshima?
Comment below.
Of course, this changed the course of history.
Some people think that it was a threat and that we shouldn't have done it.
Some people think that it actually saved more lives than it lost.
We're not going to get into all of that, but to mark this solemn, if funny to some people, not us, occasion, here is a short documentary today in history.
On August 6th, 1945, with the payload secure, finally, American forces braced themselves for a day that will be remembered throughout history in taking the most drastic measures possible that would forever alter the course of history.
In the direction of this war, Hiroshima and Nagasaki were designated as the first two targets for the atomic bomb.
Caught off guard with the wolves closing in, the Japanese emperor was notoriously quoted as responding, direct.
Yes.
They just found the recordings.
I think it's great he said it in English.
It's for the American audience.
I'm sure he did say that.
Are we going to have a moment of silence?
Not so much.
That's one of those things I get at 4.45 in the morning where I had to pull over.
I was laughing last year.
You guys let me know if that's just me.
That's 80 years ago.
Come on.
That's my humor encapsulated.
All right.
Here's another.
Japanese guys are pretty cool, though.
There they are.
We did a joint training thing with them with some shooting at the range, some sniper rifles and stuff.
It was really cool.
We bonded at lunch over throwing hot dog weenies at each other.
That's right.
You told me.
They do all kinds of weird stuff with hot dogs.
It's a big thing there.
Is it really?
They take hot dogs and they do like, this is like puffer fish, hot dog, or whatever the hell they do.
They get it over there.
Yeah, they get it.
What do they do?
Hot dog origami?
I have no idea.
They get after it.
The Japanese, hey, look, Japan should be for the Japanese.
You guys preserve your culture.
We appreciate it.
And you know what?
You've gotten a lot of things right.
Eventually, hopefully, it becomes a Christian nation and you'll improve the blind spots.
All right.
Hey, question for you.
And I want to be clear about something.
I challenge you to find us ever just going, ah, this person's fat.
That's not what this is about.
The obesity epidemic in children is a very new thing as far as being this severe.
Okay.
And so sometimes when you're facing a problem, especially one that not only is currently a burden on our healthcare system, not only do we have the first generation, we're expected to live a shorter lifespan than the previous generation, which really defies all of human history.
As far as what we have recorded, you have to ask yourself, okay, why?
Why are people, when they have more access to healthy food, more access to information, the ability to exercise, gyms are more affordable than ever, home gyms are more affordable than ever.
Why are we living Shorter, why are we more unhealthy?
And why, with the information superhighway, are we dumber?
Right now, I can't answer the second one, public education.
As far as the first one, I have a hunch.
Maybe it's because this is the first time in human history where we have been telling everyone, hey, you're healthy at any size.
It is all the same.
The most important thing is that you feel good about your poor health.
You have any kids?
Hold on, pause.
I can't see this, so yeah, I can read it.
So, for those listening, Josh, you can, because the screen's too small for me.
All right, Josh, you can read this and let's play.
Yes, I genuinely love myself.
But aren't you unhealthy?
Don't you want to be skinny?
Ellipses, I see that.
Just because I'm plus size doesn't mean I'm not healthy.
Yes, it does.
Just get healthy and eat healthy and work out.
You'll love yourself.
I don't need to be.
I don't need to lose weight to genuinely love myself.
But you don't look healthy.
You are heavily obese.
And heavy.
Just because I'm heavy doesn't make me unhealthy.
Come on.
What do you not understand?
All of it?
Apparently, biology.
I don't understand it.
And you know, that would be the response of honest doctors.
Well, just because I'm heavy doesn't mean I'm unhealthy.
And just because I'm heavier that I'm morbidly obese doesn't mean that I'll have health problems.
The doctor would go, I don't understand what you're saying.
You want me to just write on the prescription pad, whatever, and give it to you and go on your merry way.
What do you want me to do here?
Dude, just reading that really made me want to lose weight.
It felt like it was me saying it.
I was like, just because I'm heavy doesn't mean I'm unhealthy.
And again, it's not, hey, she's overweight.
No, it's not just that.
She's telling all of you and your kids.
And by the way, these are the kinds of people who run public education.
All sizes are healthy.
Let's do away with the presidential fitness test.
Let's do away with standards in the military.
Let's just tell everyone the most important thing is to feel good.
And by the way, they don't feel good because there's weight in their heart.
At one point, their heart's just going to go.
That's what's going to happen.
So she said this in the video, or was it captioned?
She said, I don't need to lose weight.
I genuinely love myself.
Ah, logical fallacy alert.
It's the false dichotomy.
Let's be clear.
Let's read this.
Two choices are presented when more might exist.
And the claim is made that one is false and one is true, or one is acceptable and the other is not.
No one is saying that you have to hate yourself if you are overweight.
You don't have to choose between loving yourself or accepting yourself to whatever degree and becoming healthy.
I don't know if you know this, but the healthiest people in the world, the most successful people in the world, can always find room for self-improvement.
That used to be our culture here.
That was often referred to as American exceptionalism.
Now, you have a lot of room, not much room, but you could improve depending on the size of the room.
You could improve.
No one's saying you have to hate yourself, but you should probably be less than satisfied with the health outcomes.
And you certainly should be less than satisfied with those health outcomes for our children.
Shouldn't we care about our kids enough to teach them how to live a longer and healthier life?
If your child was sick, if your child had the flu, would you not help them?
Would you not treat them?
Would you not give them medicine?
Would you not get them rest?
Would you not bring them chicken soup or whatever it is?
But if your child is morbidly obese, the most important thing, if your child, if your child had, I don't know, cancer, progeria, would you say, well, it doesn't matter about the most important thing is just to love yourself.
Well, that's a thing.
It's not the most important thing.
And no one's saying they have to hate themselves.
Right.
This woman goes by the Catherine Renee on Instagram and has made a whole career off of modeling plus-size hammocks.
Here she is getting ready for summer.
Are we caring to like the cutout for the two pieces?
I love blue is 100% my color.
Yes, it is.
It's like the ocean.
Yeah.
Or the sky.
Every color.
Every single bathing suit I try on is an XXL.
I feel like a baddie.
Yes.
I thought this was so cute, but I didn't know how it was going to look.
Cutsy, don't be afraid of the baddest.
Like a London bus.
Horizontal strides.
My body dominates those.
Dominates.
Okay.
I love this one.
I love the bootcare.
Very pretty.
Very sexy.
Don't talk, so talk to me.
Here's the other thing.
First off, by the way, youth obesity has gone up from 2012 to 2021, 9.7% to 19.3%.
If we throw around the term epidemic, that's an actual epidemic.
Yeah, F you parents.
Yeah.
That's an actual epidemic, to be clear.
Also, 13 different kinds of cancers are directly linked to obesity.
We're seeing a rise, for example, in colon cancer in young people, even though tobacco use and alcohol use has gone down.
In other words, that's not enough to counterbalance the rampant obesity.
It's a serious problem, but something else.
Do you remember like when people were really good?
Do you remember when we just didn't say, I'm hot, I'm sexy?
Yeah.
Even good-looking people, it was assumed.
It was poor form to go, aren't I hot?
Aren't I sexy?
But these people now have come and deared it to, aren't I?
And it's a load, it's a trick question.
Aren't I hot?
Aren't I sexy?
Don't answer, honestly.
Yeah, it's like that guy who introduced himself, like, hey, I'm Josh.
I'm cool.
Yeah, exactly.
You're probably not.
Definitely not cool.
Yeah, you're probably not.
You're no James Dean.
Yeah, you want to be annoyed.
Speaking of uncool, she got her husband in on the act, and he seems to like it.
My husband wants to show you his outfit of the day, so you better be fing nothing.
He's so new, big.
Tell them your outfit.
Yeah, I'm sure he wanted to do this.
I'm Mike Wazowski.
I hate him!
He conceived Scarlett in this.
That makes me feel good about myself.
Hike him up.
Hike me up.
Am I done now?
Good job, baby.
And by the way, after that, she went on to having sleep apnea while awake.
This is where we need to bring back patriarchy.
This is what I mean.
That husband should be like, hey, you're looking a little, you're looking, you can't not just fit into your wedding dress, you can't fit into a dress.
It's a problem that we need to dress you in tarps.
He should be like, yeah, what are you saying?
Yeah, I'm saying that you're much bigger than when we met and it's unhealthy.
And if we're going to raise kids, I don't want them to look like you.
You need leadership.
You're not healthy.
Yeah, instead of enabling it.
Yes.
Was that a humiliation ritual for him or something like that?
Like, what is that lady, like 5'5 and that heavy?
I don't know.
Well, when she steps back in the camera, you get like a kind of a perspective on the shower.
Yeah.
It's like, listen, what are we doing here?
What is this guy allowing this stuff for?
Let me ask you.
I could get into some stats and I could, but let me just give you one point and you'll know that this is true.
You ever see the in-memoriam for athletes, you know, or for actors or when people are celebrating someone who's really old as a celebrity?
Let's say it's Betty White, whoever it is.
And when they pass, everyone mourns them.
Yeah.
Name me one who was an obese elder celebrity.
One, who was a morbidly obese elder who lived into old age.
One.
Your body's trying to tell you something.
You're dying.
Let's call this what it is.
You are dying and you're advocating that other people make the same decisions that will lead them to an early death.
The advocating is the bad part.
That's the problem.
Of course.
I'm not going to judge people's lifestyle, whatever.
But the fact is that she is living this lifestyle and encouraging other people to live that lifestyle.
Oh, you can love yourself.
Yeah, you can love yourself.
You can also love yourself enough to make a change or for your husband or for your kids.
Yeah.
Because I'm going through that.
But she has this page where she has all these different outfits and it's all at any size.
It's all these different posts saying, oh, you know, this is what you can wear.
This is how you can look great.
This is, I recommend this for you.
So she's built a lifestyle in a brand now that's reliant on her being that heavy.
Right.
Yeah.
So now she, if she wants to pay her mortgage, if she wants to keep her lifestyle up, she has to continue this.
Yeah.
For how long?
I don't know.
Well, not that long.
And we see that a lot.
And I'm going to counter that.
Well, I will tell you this.
Look, especially after the shirt, I gained 25, 30 pounds.
You know, I couldn't move.
And my joints hurt more.
My blood pressure went up.
I didn't feel blood in your lungs, though.
That's true.
That's true.
It was four and a half liters.
But the point remains, you don't feel good.
Just how about this?
Also, if someone is advocating a lifestyle, just to be clear, that's easy, that anyone can do, and that contrasts with someone advocating for something that maybe requires some effort on your part.
This is a general rule.
Usually the one advocating some kind of effort or discomfort, but promising reward in the long term is correct.
Just so you guys know, as a general sort of rule to use, is wait, hold on a second.
Who's the one Advocating instant gratification and acceptance regardless of outcome.
Okay.
Who's the one saying that I can actually take ownership of this and make decisions and be accountable and actually improve my life in the long term?
Who's advocating delayed gratification?
I'm going to go with that one.
That's what I'm going to do.
Well, yeah, yeah, you guys can follow me on Instagram.
I'm going to document it.
Sorry, I was going to be some shirtless pictures.
But yeah.
Don't be sorry.
I said on the scale last week and I was like, oh, dude.
Yeah, too much.
I appreciate it.
I was like, yeah, so I've been running for the last week and a half.
We're going to shrink America.
Yeah, yeah.
I'm going to shrink America.
You're going to counter that kind of like maintain your healthy, because I've never loved myself.
Well, I'd assume that even when you lose weight, you could end up, you don't love yourself regardless.
There's less to love.
Especially when you get ripped off on tires.
What do I have?
Screw me tattooed on my forehead.
Fortunately, her and her husband did make a day trip to the beach, and she jumped off the pier.
No.
Not again.
Hey, Josh, where can people follow you to follow that?
Josh underscore Firestein on Instagram.
On Instagram.
Are you going to be using Jacked Up Fitness to do some work?
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'll be working out in the gym.
I'll post some videos here and there and what I'm doing, what I'm working on.
It doesn't need to be complicated either, guys.
Look, I guarantee you, guarantee if you take that person and just count the calories in versus calories out, there's your answer.
I guarantee you.
There might be some other contributing factors.
Without fail, that is what is going on.
Just eat a little bit less.
You know what's reasonably healthy and move a little bit more.
Really, just do that.
Try and do some strength training twice a week.
I'm not trying to get it myself.
Everyone should be doing it, especially if you understand the burden on our health care system, especially if you care.
We talk about what kind of a world do we want to preserve for our kids, and they want to advocate for every eco policy and green new deal.
Well, how about advocating that they don't kill themselves for a lifetime of horrible decisions?
It's not a small thing.
The culture that is permissive to unhealthy, hedonistic, gluttonous decisions in the name of tolerance, that's a culture that is doomed to crumble, that is doomed to fail.
It's a symptom of a greater problem.
Speaking of problem, Somalia, I know that place, that silly, awful place.
Why are we talking about them?
Well, they're now getting Starlink.
Oh, boy.
Seriously.
Toolman, run it.
The Starlink of Ben Somalia.
Ilhan Oma, seventh cousins can all search for husband brothers.
What accuse required to use it?
Scam as well abuse it.
Just ban them along with India.
He lived it.
It's okay.
There's no evidence of that.
So Elon Musk announced the service on X. He said, Starlink is not available in Somalia.
And five people cheered.
Yes.
And magically, in the last 24 hours, pirate attacks have been down by 135%.
I wonder what could be occupying their time.
Oh, that makes sense.
Come on.
Every chance we get, Ilon Omar married her brother.
I think the banging part is more.
Hey, consummating.
Consummating.
Oh, sorry.
Consummating.
Well, language.
It's a covenant.
Allegedly.
It's a covenant, good sir, with flippers.
Now, to give you an idea, Starlink is going to cost $390 for the equipment and a $70 monthly fee in Somalia.
Well, that's kind of a problem because the GDP per capita is $766.
Couldn't even find the income statistics.
You could eat or not eat, I think, at that level.
Although half of Somalia, at least half of the people there, seem to be connected to the internet.
15% of them estimated to be on social media.
Well, I should clarify, half of them on social media are, in fact, fitness influencers.
And that's the look how happy she is.
She looks like she loves herself.
At any weight, Josh.
At any weight.
And it got To Somalia before South Africa.
Think about that for a second.
Elon Musk said that South Africa wouldn't allow Starlink because it's not a black-owned business.
He says there's a policy there, but I've got to imagine that Somalia is not super amenable to policies that favor the Western world.
I can't imagine they're less discriminatory.
Yeah, I don't think they like us all that much right now.
I don't think they like us a whole lot either.
Well, they're too busy fighting each other.
But hey, Starlink.
Yeah, but the internet is a powerful tool.
Brings us all together.
We can expect more scam calls.
Son of a gun.
India, you're going to get a run for your money.
Can't wait for that different accent.
Yeah, exactly.
I don't even know how to identify.
I'm just like, is this a guy from Captain Phillips?
Otherwise, I can't.
I wouldn't know.
Yeah, I don't know.
Somalian?
I don't know.
It just sounds like generically not American.
Is he Somalian?
I don't know.
That guy got screwed.
His first role got nominated for an Oscar, and then he was expecting a career in rom-coms, didn't pan out.
Isn't he running for mayor?
He got tight cast.
Yeah, of course he did.
Look, I'm so much more than a pirate.
I could do action.
I could be like John Wick.
John Finn.
All right.
WNBA.
I know.
Don't say who cares.
This story has been going around, but it's been getting worse.
What kind of story?
Everything becomes a gate now.
And I don't like that everything is a gate because Watergate wasn't really even a gate.
When you know what Watergate was, we went to 3-3.
It's just, it really wasn't.
It's child's play compared to today.
But I understand.
I'm using the nomenclature that you understand.
So WNBA right now is experiencing dildo gate.
And you can see the object, the block right there.
The object comes that green bounces.
That green face.
The green dildo.
It's like their Detroit Red Wings octopus.
I'm not sure where it came from.
Hold up.
Stoppage for another dildo.
Got a whistle away from the basketball.
Watch this.
So it's been going on quite a bit.
And, you know, just in case you haven't been taking women's sports seriously.
I haven't.
Last Friday, Sophie Cunningham, who's in the W, she tweeted this out.
She said, stop throwing dildos on the court.
You're going to hurt one of us.
And then late last night, after another one happened, she actually responded to her own expo saying, this did not age well.
And here's the video as to why.
Four here before halftime.
Oh, look out.
Something just came up to the floor.
That's what's the wording.
That's what's the wording.
Just feeling as the free throw is the They're always kicking it.
No one else will pick it up.
No.
They don't like penises in the WNBA, Josh.
Come on.
Surprise obvious ones for that.
Ew, penis.
Someone coming out with a hazman.
And it's always, just so you know, it's a trend.
It's always lime green.
That's fun.
I know.
Last time, you guys, we got a lot of feedback with the Shrek thing, and it was childish, and we apologized.
So a different angle of this incident was released, which now we actually have seen revealed the real culprit.
So for the Valkyries to actually play that, I was shocked.
Jordan Canada didn't know something too long before.
We're going to get to DC Crime.
It's a comedy show.
It's a slow news day.
And culture.
Very slow.
Oh, no, that thing came out pretty fast.
That did.
Did.
It's propulsion dynamics.
So here's me, Mr. Pinky.
Here you go.
Why is it always green?
All right.
So here are some stats because you probably want that in this segment.
WNBA viewership is $794,000 per game, which is up 21% from last year.
Good for them.
And that's still significantly better than CNN primetime ratings, just to give you an idea.
$538,000.
It's still a fraction of the NBA, but still better than CNN.
And you know what?
If the WNBA players, if they stop making the argument, we want to be paid as much as the men, no.
But if they made the argument, hey, we should be paid at least as much as Brian Stelter, that would be a more convincing argument.
There you go.
Somebody else who's failing right now.
They're still losing money, but they're going to turn around.
By the way, I know what you're going to say.
It's all because of the fever.
No.
And you take them out, they're still beating CNN.
Even without Caitlin Clark.
Who's the fever?
Indiana fever.
Oh, Caitlin Clark.
I love that you acted as though everyone should know that.
Yeah, don't assume that.
No, no, no, no.
No, I said some of you will say.
And those people who would say that they know who the fever is.
Yeah, there's like two people.
Like seven or eight, maybe.
Gerald's one of them.
I got off.
No, I am not.
I hate the WNBA.
I got it.
The only prescription is bad basketball.
Yeah.
It's just silly.
Dildos hadn't been thrown on the floor.
Nobody would be talking about you right now.
That's my question.
Do you think it's a psyop to actually increase their viewership?
Because I think people now, they're tuning in not for the passing, not for the team.
They're tuning in for the lime green dildos.
Is that, I don't know.
I don't follow.
Gerald, you know, WNBA.
Is that more dildos than dunks this year?
I think it's more dildos than dunks ever.
More men have walked on the moon than women talked in the WNBA.
I mean, there's a couple of people that can do it.
It's very unimpressive right now because it like barely gets over the rim, but I haven't seen it or heard about it happen in one of the games.
Maybe it has.
I don't know.
It's a boring sports.
Professional sports.
There's only one purpose, to see who the best is among us.
That's it.
That's all it is.
And I'm sorry, women aren't.
And if people want to go to it and watch the game, if they have a family-friendly environment other than the flying dildos for some reason, then, you know, fine.
Yeah.
But go for it.
But I just, I'm just, I'm tired of this argument.
I don't know.
Even then, just go to medieval times or something.
There you go.
Why would you go to the WNBA?
You can throw a dildos.
You're not going to be able to do that.
You're going to go, guys.
That's the point.
You're not going to take toddlers to the WNBA.
And they're like, these are my fondest memories, father.
No, probably not.
I'm just like, what the hell?
I couldn't spring from medieval times.
They give you a whole half-roasted chicken.
It's good.
The food's not bad at medieval times.
Sucks.
Don't get concussed like I did.
All right.
Also, the red guy sucks.
Yeah.
I got a little overzealous when I went.
Apparently I cussed at the red knight.
But, you know, he was so smart.
So here's the thing.
We're talking about, look, and this is, we do have the luxury because there's been a lot of winning, right?
There's been a lot of winning, and there have been some missteps.
But now you have the opportunity to sit back and say, okay, what kind of a country do we want to be for the next decade, the next half a century, the next century, right?
Okay, what brought us here?
Why are we seeing an improved scenario for Americans right now economically as far as national security, right?
There's a different tone in the country.
There's a shift.
So let's take inventory.
All right.
What do we want to do?
What should we set as the baseline?
A good rule of thumb is do the opposite of what the left has done when they are in power.
Don't ask yourself, what does the left do?
What do Democrats do on the national stage?
Ask yourself, what would they do with unfettered power?
Now, you can look to Canada and see that.
You can look to certain parts of Europe, or you can look to these sort of petri dishes, these microcosms, these cities that have been run by progressive leftists for a very, very long time, and you get a good idea.
So that's going to bring us here to D.C. Let me just set this up for you because Donald Trump is talking about federalizing the security issues there in D.C. D.C., why do we find ourselves here?
Does this apply to the country?
Soft on crime policies.
Okay.
You see this in all kinds of cities, not just D.C., but San Francisco, New York, Detroit, places like St. Louis.
And you see the results as far as skyrocketing crime, not in a vacuum compared to the rest of the country.
It's much worse in these cities as the direct result of their policies.
It's time for D.C. Capital of Crime.
We're going to be right here.
We ain't going nowhere.
Welcome to D.C. Welcome to D.C. We And you know, this does matter.
And I get it, D.C. is complicated.
We'll sort of get into why we can federalize it because I don't even know what you could consider it the United States.
It's one of those type of things.
But it's been getting bad for a long period of time.
And it's supposed, look, it's where our capital is.
It's where our presidents live.
We should be putting our best foot forward.
And I don't think it's out of line for someone like the president of the United States to look out his window and say, you know what, we should probably clean this place up, especially when you understand this is the direct result of proactive policy from the left.
So this is now making the rounds everywhere.
Someone was brutally beaten in D.C. Actually, someone trying to be a hero stepped in in the middle of a carjacking and then was gang beaten.
Take a guess on the suspects.
And the person who ended up being gang beaten, now it's emerged, it was Doge's infamous big balls.
Remember him?
Justin, confirming President Trump's claim that our former Doge employee was attacked on the streets of D.C. last night.
Multiple sources telling Fox News that Edward Kornstein was violently beaten in D.C. Elon Musk says Kornstein, also known by a colorful nickname, was, quote, beaten to the point of concussion while trying to save a woman from a D.C. assault.
First off, hats off to him.
Yeah, no kidding.
And the fact that they just addressed this, like, oh, you know, this happened, and he was beaten.
Okay, who are the suspects?
Why no information on that?
Take a guess.
Comment below.
When you don't get any information on the suspects, whether it's a shooter, whether it's a gang beating, do you make an assumption?
Russian nationals.
Yeah.
Yeah, it's probably those Mennonites.
Time magazine, this is how they described that incident.
They said the large testicles nicknamed 19-year-old who reportedly used to provide, quote, tech support to a cybercrime ring, became a special employee of the Social Security Administration in May.
How about you guys are outraged over everything?
You're outraged over pronouns.
You're outraged over border security.
You're outraged over people exercising their freedom of speech.
How about outrage over someone being gang beaten in our nation's capital because of the policies from the people who you support as representatives?
How about that?
How about outrage over that?
Not just Doge.
Also, in a twist, turns out the carjacker, the attacker, also had big balls as seen by the recently released footage of suspect.
He should have been on a watch list or something.
Let's me know who he was now.
I like how they thought Big Balls was...
I didn't let it go.
I self-censored.
He censored themselves.
They didn't want to say big balls.
They said large testicles.
Yeah.
Which is worse.
Sounds like a medical condition.
Yeah, I'm thinking about balls when you say that.
Yeah.
Well, let's be honest, we all often do.
So President Trump responded.
And of course, what the left does is they, this is the, I hate to use it, but the gaslighting, right?
They enact policies that lead to rampant crime that harm citizens, you, the American worker, the American taxpayer.
And then when the person who you elected to office says, we need to do something about this, they go, oh, fascist.
No, no, this person has a mandate of the masses.
And a big part of that is, yeah, immigration.
But tied into that, crime.
Americans are tired of having to deal with crime in their cities when something can and should be done.
It's one of the few legitimate jobs of the federal government, which is why President Trump has said, hey, you know what?
Maybe it's time to federalize the city.
I have to say that somebody from Doge was very badly hurt last night.
You saw that a young man who was beat up by a bunch of thugs in D.C. And either they're going to straighten their act out in the terms of government and in terms of protection, or we're going to have to federalize and run it the way it's supposed to be run.
This is an important thing that many of you may have missed.
During the Trayvon Martin and Michael Brown years, do you guys remember on CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, CNBC, MSNBC, when they had control, the left of all legacy media?
They said that thug was a dog whistle.
Right.
If you use the term socialist, you really meant the N-word.
If you said thug, you really meant the N-word.
To the point where on YouTube, they would censor some videos if you used the term thug.
I had a video removed on YouTube during the Black Lives Matter protests, the riots, the early ones.
Hands up, don't shoot, for referring to them as low-life thugs.
What's next, suspect?
Yeah.
No, actually, yes.
Actually, yes.
I had a conversation with executives at YouTube who said, you know, for example, there's a gray area.
I don't think that, you know, showing or reflecting crime statistics should be seen as prejudice, but that's not a gray area.
What?
Those are stats.
So you have a president now who just said unabashedly, thugs.
Good.
That's a shift.
That's a good thing.
People used to have to tiptoe around it.
So please don't underappreciate that.
He added on truth.
He said, crime in Washington, D.C. is totally out of control.
Local youths, quote, and gang members, some only 14, 15, and 16 years old, are randomly attacking, mugging, maiming, and shooting innocent citizens at the same time knowing that they will be almost immediately released.
They know it.
Law in D.C. must be changed to prosecute these minors as adults and lock them up for a long time starting at age 14.
The most recent victim was beaten mercilessly by local thugs.
If this continues, I am going to exert my powers and federalize the city.
Can he do that?
Actually, yeah, there are ways to do that.
And you actually have more of a say in what happens in DC than most cities because the city legislature doesn't really control it because of the sort of gray area that it is.
Speaking of big balls, before we move on that, Josh, you know, it also takes a pair of big balls to cut class like you did the other day.
Ooh, do you think anyone noticed?
Firestein Firestein Firestein Feierstein.
He's homeless.
My best friend, sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with this girl who saw Josh getting his house repossessed last night.
I guess it's pretty serious.
Thank you, Steve.
No problem whatsoever.
Call the pros at American Financing Today at 1-800-974-6500 or visit AmericanFinancing.net/slash Crowder.
NMLS 182-334.
If you start today, you may even delay up to two mortgage payments.
Morgan.
Morgan.
Big balls.
Also, I will say, just a quick word of the sponsor.
We're very happy with them.
If you are currently sort of finalizing a mortgage, you can still also use them as a reference point, and you may even get a better deal with the people you're with.
I had a friend do that where American Financing beat it.
And they said, no, no, no, wait, don't, don't, don't, don't, don't go.
We'll do it here.
So I've known a lot of people who have been helped, genuinely, at least give them a shot.
They're good people.
I've talked to them.
Let's go through.
Really quickly, can I just go back to so we have the president kind of characterizing what happened?
Yes.
Just so that I understand it, because it's almost lost in this story.
A woman was being carjacked.
Big balls to the rescue.
Have all the fun you want with the jokes on that one, right?
Stops the carjacking.
Gets beaten up for his troubles.
And the teens run off.
Okay.
Is the word hero being thrown around?
Is the word hero saves woman from carjacking being thrown around in the media right now?
Or is it basically, well, he was one of those Doge kids that has a weird nickname and so it's just some guy that got beat up.
Yeah.
Because I, for one, want more people.
In fact, when 10 people try to go and attack somebody like that who's stopping a carjacking, I want 100 people from the neighborhood to make sure those 10 guys learn how to fly really quickly off of this hero.
Yep.
That's what I want.
Should we be encouraging people to actually stand up and police a little bit of their own communities to just to a small degree?
I understand there's limits, but just to a small degree.
What's the Bible verse they will call good evil?
Evil good?
Evil good.
Yeah, I think we've reached that point.
I'm waiting for everyone in D.C. to turn into a pillar of salt because that guy's a hero, not a fat pride model activist.
They'll call them brave.
This guy actually risked life and limb against a gang to help someone he didn't know.
But because he's of the wrong political persuasion, what were you going to say, Noodles?
I was going to say research just sent in that the carjacking victim was apparently him and his girlfriend.
Oh, his girlfriend?
Okay.
They're looking for an Epsir.
Either way, she's still a lady, right?
She's lady parts.
Exactly.
I assumed.
Big ball.
Did they get ball or did he stop it?
I don't know if they got off with the car.
It doesn't matter.
He fought.
No, he did.
He fought.
I believe they did not get the car, but they won't say hero.
And the way that the newscasters are talking, by the way, the headlines sound, it's almost as if they cut off the beginning where I said, hey, good news.
Right.
Yeah.
No, you're exactly right.
What kind of a society do you want to live in?
What kind of a country do we want?
Now, the left then goes, we can't have a vigilante culture.
Okay, but it's also not vigilanteism to fight for what is yours and to fight for the people you love.
You know what?
I would rather have a culture that errs on the side of vigilanteism than a culture that decides, you know what, we just have to allow crime to go on unfettered in the name of justice, in the name of equity.
Everything is in the name of equity.
Here's a job that you didn't earn.
Equity.
Hey, you know what?
Here's some freedom that you rightfully should have lost after committing violent crime.
Why?
Equity.
I get it.
Some people have some tough breaks.
I understand that.
I also don't, you guys can comment on this.
I don't agree with the idea that prison and that our justice system should just be focused on rehabilitation.
I think primary, the first thing that happens is punishment and then rehabilitation if we can, but punishment is what is most necessary as the first deterrent.
You've made your decision.
So let's get to how we got here.
First, let's go through the why.
All references are available, links in the description.
In D.C., right?
Crime is terrible.
We'll get you some stats.
But why?
Well, you can trace it to no cash bail in Washington, D.C. 88% of D.C. defendants are released.
No bail being paid.
Jeez.
Yeah, just go.
And their justification is like, well, most of them show up for the court anyway.
Yeah, but some don't.
And the ones who don't are likely the worst among us, right?
Because they've already chosen to break the law.
Also, I don't care.
I don't care.
There needs to be some skin in the game.
There needs to be some punishment.
So 88% of D.C. defendants, no bail.
Then you have the policy.
They refuse to prosecute crimes.
Up to 67% of arrests in D.C. are not prosecuted.
That is not in line with the rest of the country.
How's that even possible?
That's insane.
And of course, you've seen the guest.
Well, we didn't actually mean defund the police.
Yeah, yeah, no, actually, they did.
And you can look at the reforms to the police in Washington, D.C. They limited police searches.
They banned chokeholds completely.
They removed officers just for basic allegations of misconduct in civil lawsuits.
And what's the result?
They have the lowest number of officers in D.C. in 50 years.
Wow.
50 years.
I'm guessing it's not a lower population.
Nope.
It's not proportional.
So if you're a criminal in D.C., you go, hey, there are fewer officers than ever before.
They're afraid to do anything because I can just accuse them of patting me on the ass or whatever it is and they'll be put on leave.
Also, they're probably not going to prosecute my crime.
And worst case scenario, I don't need to pay any cash and I can just revolving door my criminal ass out of here and right back into mugging somebody else.
At what point do you say correlation does not equal causation?
So that's the why.
And this is the what.
This is what that's gotten you in D.C. This can be applied, by the way, to places like Detroit, to places like Chicago.
D.C. is just really, really bad.
If D.C., to give you an idea, if it were a state, it would have the highest homicide rate in the United States.
Jeez.
Wow.
The highest in the country.
In 2023, D.C. had the single highest spike of violent crime out of any cities.
And that's three times the percentage increase of second place, a distant second place, Memphis, which also sucks.
And Memphis is really, really bad.
Memphis is terrible.
And I know people, the left, they're trying to say in the FBI, they've tried to massage these statistics, right?
People try to say, well, that was because of COVID.
No, actually, all crime in D.C. is still significantly higher than pre-COVID levels.
Sorry, Democrats.
You can't keep using that crutch for this long.
So other cities saw a spike.
Again, who would you thank for that?
Who would you thank for the spike across the country, right?
COVID policy, lockdown, social distancing, shutting down businesses, where you basically have major cities that are becoming ghost towns.
Who was responsible for that?
Who would you say is more responsible for the universal increase in crime during COVID?
Would you say conservatives who didn't want lockdowns?
Conservatives who wanted to keep their businesses open?
Conservatives who didn't believe in writing checks to people who weren't working?
Which one is more likely?
And then after COVID, where do you still see the increased crime?
Is it in suburban areas?
Is it in rural areas?
Is it in cities that are more red?
There are really almost no red cities, I think, aside from maybe Oklahoma City in the country.
Where do you see the crime rate higher than it was pre-COVID?
At a certain point, you have to say, okay, who is responsible for this?
And let me give you some clear examples too in D.C. Sometimes you look at stats on a paper and you go, oh, okay, well, that happened.
No, no, people's lives are being lost in record numbers.
People are being beaten within an inch of their life.
And it's entirely preventable.
In most of these cases, almost entirely preventable.
Let me walk through a couple.
July 1st, remember this one?
2025, congressional internal Eric Tarpinian Yakim.
I hope I'm getting that right.
He was killed, D.C., after he was caught in crossfire.
There were two teenage boys on bicycles just to his left, and there was an SUV with as many as four people inside.
As that SUV made the turn here onto M Street, according to police, at least two gunmen, masked gunmen, got out of the vehicle, and one with a rifle opened fire.
Eric Tarpinian Jackham was hit once in the abdomen with what appears to be a round from a rifle?
An uninvolved person who lost his life in D.C. And so no mayor, no police chief, no mother, father, community member ever wants to hear that.
And I want to kind of walk, that was a congressional intern, right?
The next one that I'm going to bring to you is someone who's a former Trump official.
So when people say Donald Trump fascist, let me ask you this.
If you had one, two, three, 10 work colleagues and friends who were murdered or mugged and you could do something about it, would you?
Is that fascist?
January 9th, 2024, this is the former Trump official Mike Gill shot, killed in a carjacking spree.
Carjacking, didn't we just talk about that?
Yeah.
Yeah.
35-year-old Alberto Vasquez Jr. was killed in that same spree, by the way.
February 9th, 2023, Democratic Representative Angie Craig of Minnesota assaulted in the elevator at her apartment.
July 10th, 2016, well, this one, Seth Rich was absolutely not killed by Hillary Clinton.
So I don't know why we put that in there.
That was a mistake.
Sorry about that.
So think about this for a second.
You have the personal experience, the personal connections, and you can look at the statistics.
Okay, now D.C. has a decision to make, and they've made it.
Do we do something differently?
They've doubled down.
So can you, can the federal government, do anything about it?
Do you want your city to be like D.C.?
Do you want your city to be like Detroit, to be like Chicago, to be like St. Louis, to be like Memphis?
If you vote for Democrats, that's exactly what you'll get because they've told you that.
Good news is you actually have a say in D.C. So we were doing some research this morning and laying the brain.
A lot of this was, I didn't know a lot of this before today.
The federal government already has different levels of control over D.C., so the president can use his power regarding the D.C. police and the National Guard during emergencies, to be clear.
There are things known as budget riders, and that allows Congress to basically decide to determine how D.C. spends its funds.
There was one that happened with the regulating marijuana, the marijuana industry.
Well, they didn't want to, basically it was from, I believe it was Harris Ryder that said they basically couldn't regulate marijuana.
It was probably a bad idea.
Probably wasn't in that city.
But people don't really know this, that they have to get their budget approved by Congress.
Right.
Right.
So when they want money for something or when they want to get a budget approved, they don't just do it like we normally do it in other cities around the country.
They have to go to Congress.
Right.
Much more complicated process because then politics gets played with that.
Pick your favorite issue.
And if it comes up in D.C., they'll talk about it.
So there's your power right there.
Yeah.
Well, here's the thing, you know, in your city, it's usually the local city council, right?
Your state determines it.
Since this is your capital, are you an American?
This is your capital.
Nationally, you have a say.
How do you want to present our capital to the world?
Good news is you can do something about it, and your representatives can, if they're not cowards.
Congress can overturn laws.
So in 2023, the Senate overturned some new portions of the D.C. criminal code.
So this can be done.
The 1973 Home Rule Act, it actually established some levels of self-governance for Washington, D.C. So that means that to fully federalize the city, Congress has to repeal it.
But they can.
Yes.
They can.
It can't just be undone by a city council.
This is the capital of the nation, your nation, and it's an embarrassment.
Yeah, I'm sorry.
I don't think they should have any self-governance control.
There is, I mean, when you look at the crime stats, when you look at the just look at the city itself, you start to wonder like, oh, okay, what are we really doing here?
Tucker Carlson made this point, and I don't agree with a lot of what he's saying right now, but he's talking about other world capitals, and he's talking about Moscow specifically.
And I get it.
It's like a Potemkin city.
Like, I understand it's not all real, right?
It's just like Gavin Newsom, whenever they had the Asian communities coming in for that conference where they completely cleaned up the entire city and got rid of all the homeless people.
I understand it's kind of like that, except on a permanent basis in Moscow.
But his point's not wrong in that our city doesn't look like the capital city of the greatest nation on earth.
It doesn't fit right now.
And we've tried it their way long enough.
We have to change it.
Our capital city does not represent the makeup of this country.
No.
It doesn't.
It represents leftist, leftist elites in power.
It is the swamp.
And this is what happens when the swamp determines criminal codes.
This is what happens when the swamp has that kind of control.
And let me ask you, you know, it's how you look at the world.
And by the way, the best way to stay in touch, follow me on Rumble, download the Rumble app, follow me there.
Don't be beholden to some algorithm.
This would never be allowed on YouTube.
I had videos removed on YouTube for reciting crime statistics.
And they said some other conservatives don't.
I said, well, I do.
So that's why we stream exclusively live on Rumble now.
Let me paint for you a scenario.
And this is real because I've had this conversation with individuals, including leftists, conservatives.
A mugging is in process or a carjacking, some kind of a violent crime.
Okay?
The man in question could be someone like Big Balls, right?
Has a gun.
Let's say there's five perps.
There's five, so 10.
They come up.
They don't hurt him yet, but they say they're going to beat him up.
Give me your car.
Give me your money.
And blam, blam, blam, he shoots them because he's with his woman.
Let me ask you this: do you view that man as committing a sin?
Or do you view that man as one committing an act of heroism?
That's the difference.
That's the difference in worldview.
When people say, I'm not left or right men, I'm not Republican, ask yourself that.
Because if you ask a room full of Democrats, they will not say hero.
They'll say, oh, it's a tragedy.
I don't believe it.
I don't believe that it's a tragedy.
I believe that if you put someone in a situation where they could even potentially die, be maimed, or you know what, be hurt in a way that they don't want, you forfeit your right to live.
Yep.
Yeah.
A lot of people just going to say, oh, man, it's a car.
No, it's a lesson.
Yep.
It's an opportunity to make sure the rest of the community knows this is not acceptable behavior.
Yeah.
Sorry.
Do you want a culture where you tiptoe around and acquiesce to criminals?
That's what you have in D.C. And not just D.C., by the way.
You can look at other leftist strongholds like Memphis, St. Louis, Baltimore, Birmingham, Albuquerque, Detroit, but they're running out of people to kill.
Do you want that kind of a city?
Or do you want a country where criminals are afraid?
They're afraid that they might get shot.
They're not afraid of the cops.
They're afraid of you, packing heat.
And I mean that.
That's not a small.
Have that conversation.
Have that conversation with your friends who are liberal.
Paint that scenario.
Man is getting mugged.
Someone just asks for his car, his watch, his wallet.
He's out on the town with his wife.
Pulls out his gun and shoots him.
Shoots five of them.
Make it extreme.
They all die.
What would you say to that?
If their answer is anything other than, well, I'm glad he lived.
They don't view America the same way.
They don't want to live in the America that you want to live in.
You guys get that.
There's a huge divide.
And I'm not going to try and act like we find common ground on a lie.
I want to see criminals blown away if our representatives will not do what they're supposed to do, which is punish them, put them in prison, and make it as uncomfortable as possible.
That's great.
I hope our government, I hope our police force does that.
I hope the authorities do that.
If not, I hope that you protect yourself and your kin.
And it's not even a sad story to me.
It's not.
No, it's not.
By the way, I have a few more details on what actually happened in this situation, right?
So we had Big Balls and I guess his girlfriend or significant other, they were walking to their car.
Apparently, these people, he heard a comment about their taking the car or something like that.
So he pushed his girlfriend into the car to save her and was then beaten.
So obviously they were going to carjack.
That's still a hero's move.
Of course it is.
Local man saves his girlfriend.
There's so many ways you can approach this in a positive light.
Yeah.
And it just makes me wonder why.
Why not?
Why not approach this in a positive light?
Yeah.
Why not shine a light on somebody doing something that's selfless in this case, saving his girlfriend?
You have no idea what's going to happen to you.
Yeah.
Assume the worst.
And by the way, that's an act of heroic masculinity.
When we talk about masculinity and we talk about feminism, you look at that.
Big Balls doesn't look like he's a guy who would intimidate anybody.
That is an act of that man fulfilling his duties.
All right, I put my life on the line.
I'm the one who answers if something goes bump in the night.
I'm the one who takes the bullet.
He took a beating and made sure that she was safe.
I don't care how much he can bench press.
That's the kind of masculinity that we should and need to be encouraging.
But we can't.
Because if that expectation is set, then we also have to have expectations of women.
Because he does that, was a Chris Rux that means dad gets the big piece of chicken.
That means that you follow His lead in that relationship.
Why?
Because he just took a gang beating for you.
So what he says goes, happy wife, happy life.
Happy king, happy kingdom.
How about that?
Why?
Because I got the shit kicked out of me and you got to basically get a.
Is that new?
Did you just make that?
I haven't heard happy kingdom before.
I don't think so.
I can't take credit for it, but it's just this whole thing.
We've centered everything.
This crime policy, it is the byproduct of feminism.
You understand that too.
Just like biological men and women's sports.
80-something percent of men opposed it.
70-something percent of women supported it.
Slower now.
Yeah.
Because they go, oh, we're empathetic.
Well, let me bring up that picture again of big balls.
Bring up that picture.
Bring up the picture of a big ball, or was it in the video?
I've got it.
Oh, I've got an overlay.
There you go.
There's what your empathy gets you, feminist Democrats.
There's your empathy right there on display.
Now, that breaks my heart.
You know what wouldn't?
Every single juvenile suspect looking like that.
I would feel zero parts bad.
Comment if you agree.
Because it's not an equivalency.
One guy who didn't deserve it, beaten within an inch of his life, that's terrible.
People who mug someone, I don't care if they're in a grave.
That's how society always operated.
Doesn't mean you go.
I am not advocating going out and Charles Bronson death wishing this thing.
What I am advocating is that we all have a mind's eye on the culture that we want in this country and that you have these conversations to understand the fundamental difference in the worldview.
We understand that human beings are flawed.
We understand that human beings are sinful.
As a Christian, that's, for me, the only way that we can rectify this.
The left views people as inherently good, and maybe they've had some tough breaks.
Okay, how do you reconcile that with people who chose that day to go out and carjack innocent civilians and when they didn't get what they wanted, beat a man within an inch of his life for doing nothing more than protecting his woman?
They'll say they don't.
They'll say, well, that's terrible.
Yeah, yeah.
Are you going to change the policies?
They never do.
They never do.
Also, for the record, D.C. has never had a Republican mayor.
There have been more mayors who have smoked, crack, and/or allegedly killed strippers in the mayor's house than Republicans who have been mayors of D.C. So you cannot try and blame this on us.
Hey, Stephen, since we're on the topic of federalizing D.C. and talking about Congress and their powers and stuff.
Yeah, I started doing a deep dive into Congress this morning, and I was like, I just kept thinking about how weird-looking these people are.
Sure.
And I. You made another list, didn't you?
Yeah, I made a list.
Music.
We'll see you next time.
All right, Josh, what's the list?
So this is this week's top five weirdest-looking members of Congress.
Okay, all right.
At number five, we have South Carolina Democrat and former king of Wakanda, James E. Clyburn.
Wow, that is uncanny.
Yeah.
That is uncanny.
Rest in peace.
Cool man, bring up a hold on the overlay until he hits the punchline, okay?
At number four, we have Illinois Democrat and former Notre Dame linebacker Nikki Budzinski.
Oh, well, yeah.
Oh, Jesus.
It's a real Budzinski.
That's Nikki Budkiss.
Oh, Jesus.
Looks like Michael Biglia.
A little bit.
A little bit.
All right.
Number three, Arizona Democrat and John Hammond's twin brother who fell off the table at birth, Ron Barber.
Let me see.
Who needs a barber?
That is.
I think he has a barber.
It's just, it's an anvil.
How do you have that flat of a head?
Yeah.
Was it like his first attempt at clones?
I have no idea.
That's disconcerted.
It's uncanny, though.
All right, number two.
At number two, Ohio Republican, whose name and head are both screaming, it's a toupee.
Troy Balderson.
Oh, well, that's unfortunate.
Come on.
Come on.
Was ball.
I got to look it up and be like, no, that's real.
That's a real name.
That's real.
Just go by a stage.
No, the hair is not real.
The name is real.
The hair is very not real.
It was hard to choose a photo.
And coming in at number one, South Carolina Republican and lady at the party who just realized she shit her pants, Sherry Biggs.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I have to go.
That's a nightmare.
My right-hand running away.
It would just be assumed guilty.
She could also look like the last living descendant Of Medusa.
She could.
She could.
She absolutely.
All right.
Not turning anything to stone.
Well, we appreciate the impromptu.
This has been Josh made a list.
Made a list.
And we're going to continue with this and more.
Not yet, not yet.
Don't go yet.
Well, you're already.
If you are not yet, it's just a timing and a blocking and a, you know.
Come on, you're dead.
You're supposed to know the showmanship for Crying Out Live.

Yeah.
Olay.
