MAGA is Dead But Trump Never Got Shot: Breaking Down the Insane Conspiracy
The conspiracy theorists are back at it, claiming that the July assassination attempt of President Donald Trump was fake. Despite the fact that Trump was struck by a bullet, several bystanders were injured and a Trump supporter was killed in the attack, some people are just more in touch with the truth than the rest of us. Wait, who is saying this? The Francis Scott Key Bridge collapsed two years ago. Happy We-Haven’t-Built-It-Back-iversary. The pop culture sphere had some big news yesterday. We’ll bring you all the news from Hollywood that shows it’s doing just fine. Believe me. Not dead at all. Trust.Show more GUEST: Josh Firestine

If we don't control insiders, this will be over and over.
To lead it by an innate, big, fat love, find common ground to hold the spread of lies.
And we must do it.
Big, fat, love, find common ground to hold the spread of lies.
And any America first.
America first.
Non-fatal.
We want to build a much better, believable people.
And we must do it.
Non-fatal.
Communication very much higher.
America first.
To lead it by an innate.
Insiders fighting for insiders.
Time to stop.
Insiders fighting for insiders.
More of insiders fighting for insiders.
Time to stop.
Insiders fighting for insiders.
America first.
Love the float.
Hope everything turns out okay.
We empty out all the money in the cash register.
And Mr. Dumping Just Dumping Church.
Mr. Duncan.
Mr. Duncan is.
My own money is father meet.
I have one.
My own money is father me.
I have one.
Mr. Duncan.
My own money is father me.
I have one query.
Mr. Duncan is.
My own money is father meet.
I have one.
We empty out all the money in the cash registers.
And Mr. Dumping Don't see the Dumping Turkey Dumping.
No one's noodles, Gerald.
It's not a fair comparison.
Welcome to the lineup live here at 8 a.m.
Is it 8 a.m. or 9 a.m.
It's 8.
I always get central and confused.
Early morning till evening.
You don't need to change that dial.
It's all free.
Rumble owns live and YouTube is dead.
Also lost a big lawsuit.
That's fun.
A lot to get to today.
And by a lot, I mean media mission.
If you feel like there's a movement out there or a concerted effort to not just legitimately criticize the president, because everyone does and everyone should, but to undo every single accomplishment that we've seen in his administration,
or really undo any groundswell that we've seen of public sentiment.
Yeah.
Yeah, that is going on.
Because I don't know if you know this, but a lot of people, now they're testing the waters.
They want to see if you'll believe that the assassination attempt on President Trump was fake.
Completely fake.
Yeah, it's not out there yet everywhere, but they're testing it with a few key accounts, hoping that you believe it.
So you can comment if you've heard of this yet and if you believe it, because I guess everything's fake and nothing is real.
Also, we have a Hollywood minute because Harry Potter is happening.
Stephen Colbert's writing Lord of the Rings.
That's going to be fun.
Vince Vaughan, the one exception on Theo Vaughn, he's been a right-winger for a long time, which then brings us to Olivia Rodrigo.
And we see this a lot.
The feminist movement is anti-biology.
The manosphere, if you want to call it that.
And by the way, I'm not referring to people who say go out and be all promiscuous.
I'm talking about people who advocate traditional relationships.
It's hopefully helping men to recognize their biology.
Young women are going, yeah, I want to be a boss, babe, because I'm told to, but really, I want to be a mom.
Hey, women, you don't have to deny your biology.
It's okay.
It doesn't matter what Hollywood says.
We're going to get to that in more.
But first, this is creepy.
That's a good sound right there.
Okay, viewers.
This is a swing line stapler.
That's a good one.
All right.
This is a Zebra F301 extra fine tip ballpoint pen.
One of my favorites.
Oh, that's good.
Hey, Billy.
What are you doing?
You okay?
Yeah.
I'm making a chilling with this ASMR channel I got going on Rumble.
Oh, yeah, how's that?
Well, I just run around the office.
I grab random stuff.
I record the sounds.
And all my viewers get to tip me on Rumble using Rumble Wallet.
Rumble Wallet?
Yeah, it's a non-custodial digital wallet.
It allows all my viewers to tip me with cryptocurrency.
No banks, no gatekeepers, no nonsense.
There's more right there.
Finally, going to be able to afford this operation.
Huh?
Why do you need an operation?
It's personal, Josh.
Kind of gross, but it still sounded tasty.
Finish it with some lemon.
Seriously, download the Rumble Wallet and step away from big banks for good.
No fees, no middlemen, none of the crap you have to deal with.
Where you go in and they say you have some concierge account, but it's some guy who wants to tell you about Bitcoin and he's doing mining.
Lyle, go to wallet.rumble.com today, and you can also support your favorite creators.
Step away from big banks.
Rumble wallet.
ASMR tip me with Rumble Wallet.
I do need to apologize right off the bat.
Why?
I gave you a bad recommendation.
Two man admonish me.
Oh, just him.
Really?
Give it to me.
Give it to me.
I admonish so I can feel.
Now, I said that the show Paradise on Hulu was pretty fun.
You did?
Then they hit me with it yesterday.
Oh, no.
Why did he get the promotion over you?
Maybe because he has a dick.
Oh, no.
Well, I mean, was it written like that as like, that's what the writers feel, or was it written like that?
Like, this dumb chick, this is a good thing.
Then it's literally everything afterwards.
It's like, literally, oh my gosh, if they want it to be done right, have a woman do a man's job.
And then one point they're like, see, conflict resolution.
That's why women should rule the world.
Actual lines like this.
I am sorry.
My bad.
I think you should give it a couple more episodes.
See if maybe they make her.
So looks like a spike recommendation.
No, no, they might make her look good.
Band of Brothers.
You should watch it sometime.
You shouldn't subject me to that.
No, they don't.
Trust me, they don't make her look stupid.
What's wrong with Band of Brothers?
No, I'm saying it is good.
But they band together.
They don't recommend that they watch crappy films.
Yeah, but nobody liked Ross Geller either.
That's true.
He sucked.
Yeah, he was pretty bad.
I don't know if you saw the screen test.
It was Michael Richards before he made me push-ups.
You can't call them that.
All right.
Is there a dumber conspiracy out there than President Trump faking his own assassination attempt, which led to the death of an innocent man?
Is there a dumber one out there?
By the way, I understand.
Yesterday's conspiracy theories are today's, you know, just accepted truth.
I get it.
COVID, I understand it.
I understand that you've been lied to by those in positions of authority.
No one hates our institutions more than me, but this one is a why.
And I've always said the litmus test is how many people have to be involved.
In this case, it would have to be both left, right, family, officials, President Trump, people who don't like him, people who like him.
Why?
And if you guys want to make a case, I'll take it in chat later.
As we always do, weekdays, 11 a.m. Eastern.
How are you, Captain Morgan CEO?
Fantastic.
How are you?
I'm all right.
Yeah.
I'm all right.
Prayers appreciated for people out there.
Joe Lewis is in the emergency vet.
Don't want to get into details, but you know, it's one of those stressful times.
He's getting up there in age.
And I'm uncomfortable with my emotions.
So, Friday, Saturday, April 24th, 25th, Comedy Avenue, Lawton, Oklahoma.
Good old Lawton, Mr. Josh Feierstein.
Yes, it's the Sydney of the Prairie.
Yes.
That's what they call it.
That's what I've heard.
I'm doing good.
Good.
I'm excited for the show.
Yeah.
Well, a lot of people make fun of.
Yeah, there's a fun one.
This next one.
When I think hijab, I think a lady wearing a hijab or burqa, I want you to picture the name of that person.
Give me a hijab.
Correct.
Crystal.
You think Crystal in the hijab.
She wants to show you.
By the way, when I spent time in the UK, I am not a fan of English breakfast at all.
Like how much blood, bread, sausage can you consume?
But she wants to put her own spin on it.
Crystal in the hijab wants to show you how to make a halal English breakfast and also remind everyone in the West that you don't have any culture.
Let's count and see how many times she says, I'm going to turn this halal.
And by the way, this isn't English to begin with.
What is an English breakfast?
Good question.
Let's make a completely halal English breakfast and I'll show you.
The breakfast consists of a few components, starting with sausages.
Did you know that sausages originated from what is now modern day Iraq?
Served with life.
It's not very English, but this bacon is halal.
Beef bacon from the back or side of a cow.
Now, if you wanted a lower quality, cheaper meat to use, you could use pig.
But I've long held the rule that no pigs touch my lips.
Now, black pudding is a component that may have originated in the British Isles.
Now we're going to slice up these halal mushrooms.
Now we have good old British halal hash browns.
Now we're going to slice up these halal tomatoes.
These were actually grown in Morocco.
Did you know that tomatoes come from South America?
They were first domesticated and cultivated in Mexico.
Again, not very English.
Well, neither is marinara.
What are we doing?
That's English breakfast.
It's baked beans.
We have some halal beans here.
Of course, beans, again, not an English thing.
Oh, thanks for letting us.
Not least are the eggs.
We have some beautiful halal British eggs here.
So there we have the not very English English breakfast.
We're going to enjoy it with a couple of tea gold.
Again, tea didn't originate in England, but it's okay.
Now, I don't like her, of course, because she's unattractive, unintelligent, and just uninteresting.
But here's the message, and this happens across the board.
They're constantly trying to tell you, you don't have any, you don't have any culture.
There is no English culture.
It's actually, oh, come from somewhere else because you colonize, you hear the same thing about the United States all the time.
Oh, Mexican color.
We just don't really have a culture here.
The people who will claim that any legitimate portion of our culture is racist, misogynist, transphobic, white supremacist, nationalist, those are the people trying to convince you that we have no culture.
You do.
Here's the thing.
Not only do you have a culture, the Western world, but England, UK, it's okay, guys.
Rise up.
Be proud of being English.
But the United States, you definitely have a culture.
The counter argument is not, well, it's not that we don't have a culture.
We have the best culture.
Our biggest export is culture, to be clear.
That's our biggest export.
They constantly want to browbeat you and gaslight you and make you think that your culture, your ancestors, don't exist.
And while we're playing that game, let's do it from the other side of the aisle here.
Here's some things that Muslims consider theirs that are not.
Check the references.
Soap, they claim soap was actually invented in ancient Babylon in 2800 BC.
Well, that was way off.
The modern numerical system, or they said, you know, Arabic numerals, they're actually invented in India hundreds of years BC.
Coffee, they'll claim, oh, yeah, it was invented in Ethiopia, I believe about 800 AD.
Suicide bombing isn't even there.
So it was first used in Russia in 1881 AD.
So they...
But they perfected it.
Yeah.
They're a copy of a copy.
It's like when you used to burn a disc and then you'd burn the burned disc and you're like, is this Elton John or is this Billy Joel?
I can't tell at this point.
Just time on our own.
Billy Johnson.
There's been a rash, by the way, of these recipe videos on TikTok lately, especially from the community of those who copied suicide bombing.
What's up, guys?
This is my recipe for a classic British dish, bangers in mash.
You have your ammonium nitrate right here, first off, and then you have your nitromethane.
It's a combination made mainstream thanks to the infamous Oklahoma City bombings.
And ironically, it can be sourced from the back of a van in the alley of McGittles Pub in East London.
Now, of course, you'll want to add your screws and your nails to create your shrapnel, a method that gets its root in Afghanistan.
And you'll need your belt.
The belt, of course, is made from the finest materials.
It comes from a tailor in Francovilla Fontana in the southeast corner of Italy.
Now, don't forget the detonator.
The detonator comes from British Boom Buttons LLC.
That's in London, okay?
Ask for Yusuf.
He'll give you a great deal.
And lastly, a dusting of nutmeg from the Banda Islands of Indonesia for that post-explosion genesse qui.
Yeah, it was last minute.
How'd you think it was going to end?
They can't all be throwing a quad amputee into a dumpster.
We could try.
It might work for every segment.
Yes, it might.
I mean, this is.
Is it me?
Like, everything is, everything is a thing.
No, this actually isn't yours.
Yeah.
So does that just mean that Western civilization doesn't have anything?
I mean, freedom?
I mean, electricity, refrigeration, television, printing press?
Twerking?
Yes, for those who are into it.
Of course, everyone's into it.
That's the problem.
Limited circumstances.
It's year 2026.
Let's use this as a standard.
What is there in the Arabic or Islamic world in 2026 that I want to import here?
How about that?
Exactly.
Yeah.
Anything?
That's about it.
That's about it.
Long-flowing shirts.
Yes.
I do like a good linen shirt.
I do.
I am jealous.
When you see, like, in the summer, ladies are so much more.
They're wearing like maxi dresses and we're basically wearing Kevlar.
We're still wearing jeans.
I guess so.
Yeah.
You get a little bit damp, and then it feels like it weighs 400 pounds.
By the way, wallet.rumble.com to support your favorite creators.
It really is picking up steam, and you can actually support your creators and don't have to worry about being banned from PayPal like we were, or Shopify like we were.
Or all of us.
Or everywhere, always.
So here's the latest one.
And I was, you know, I always scan looking for news.
And then I saw this once.
And I saw it a couple times.
And I don't bring something to you if it's just something very niche because you don't want to make a mountain out of a molehill.
And sometimes people will do that and then they'll, you know, they'll rage bait.
You're seeing a lot of people now testing the waters with this.
And this is why I mentioned earlier: if it feels like, if in your, you're like, oh, wait a second, I thought these people were America first, and they're starting to sound a lot like the left.
And I disagree, whatever it is.
You could disagree with President Trump on Iran.
You could disagree with President Trump on tariffs.
But overall, I want to put America first.
And overall, I'm glad that President Trump was elected instead of Kamala Harris.
If it feels like you see people trying to take away any accomplishments or even historical events related to Donald Trump, that's because it is.
That's because it is.
The good news is they've overreached a little bit.
I'm willing to bet that you will agree because now the latest conspiracy, and they're just testing to see if enough of you will buy it.
So you can come back to me.
I'm calling it right here.
Is that President Trump, there was never an attempted assassination.
It actually never happened.
It's fake.
It's a PSYOP.
That brings us to this week's seditious conspiracy.
So I've seen this in a few places, but it's always more fun if you can have Jesse Ventura say it.
I didn't know he was still around.
Yeah.
He was on.
At first, I saw it.
I didn't know if it was him or Meth Head Santa.
You'll see.
Both.
He was on Piers Morgan, and he tried to insinuate that the Trump assassination was fake and, of course, had zero substantiation beyond, come on, come on, Pierce.
Come on.
Really, Pierce?
You believe that?
All right.
Here you go.
There is a UFC whole event going on imminently at the White House.
Maybe they could extend it and have you against Trump.
Do you think he'd have the guts to do that?
Are you kidding me?
Well, this guy waited, Jesse.
To be fair, Jesus.
Wait a minute, Pierce.
To be fair, when he got shot, I'm going to tell you.
When he got shot, he got back up.
7555.
Oh, yeah, right, right, right.
You ever hear of a blade job?
Anyway, a blade?
Well, you think he was fake?
Anyway, I don't know.
Where's his scar today?
Somebody died literally sitting behind him.
I don't know.
You know, come on, Piers.
You're going to tell me this guy's a big hero now?
I thought that day he was.
That day he was.
Really?
Yeah.
Really?
Yeah, he was.
Yeah, well, then he accomplished what he wanted out of you guys.
No, I think he could be heroic on one day and he can be less heroic on others.
But if you ask me, was he heroic when he got shot?
Yeah, and I think those who try to pretend or anything, it's ridiculous.
You're right.
You know, you know what I feel bad about was that if he'd have joined us in Vietnam, we might have won, huh?
Now, see, this is what they do: they throw out a claim.
Okay.
They substantiate it, not at all.
Then they act incredulous when you call them on, like, oh, okay.
Come on.
Look, I was in an underwater demolition.
You think this guy was?
No, you said that he wasn't shot.
Yeah.
And then they move to sarcasm.
By the way, the laziest form of humor.
Oh, I bet you he would have been so good at war in Vietnam, right?
I'm implying he wouldn't be, tough guy.
Did you know I went to Vietnam?
Did you know I went to Vietnam?
It's like what I'm saying is like it's opposite day.
Like when you were in grade school, you'd wear your shirt on backwards.
I'm saying he, in fact, was not in Vietnam.
Ah, but I was.
I was.
I'm a hero.
But could you imagine if President Trump was a hero in Vietnam?
It'd be pretty cool.
I am a hero.
I am a hero.
I am a hero.
Trump is the best.
That's about it.
Hey, hey, why are you running, tough guy?
Why don't you try running into the flames?
And of course, it's just funny because it's Jesse Ventura.
He's out of his mind.
And by the way, he is the template for all the new trash journalists, conspiracy theorists, right?
I'm just asking questions.
I called into Dennis Miller's radio show probably 10, 15 years ago as Jesse Ventura.
And I would throw out a bunch of outlandish things.
And every time I'd say, well, hold on a second, do you think that happened?
I go, I don't know, Dennis.
I don't know.
I'm just asking questions, tough guy.
That's how I, and that's what you see.
Now, I'm just asking questions.
But if you never provide an answer, or there's an answer in the question that's implied that can be easily disproven, he's not the only one.
Check the references.
We provide them every show, 11 a.m. Eastern when we stream.
Bunch of conspiracy theorists out there testing the water.
If it picks up enough traction, they will then pump it into the mainstream.
I've seen this pattern.
So let's go through the claims that you see.
They're very, very easily debunked.
This doesn't mean that it's 100% proven to be true, but you could say that about anything.
We can simply disprove the initial claims that are being made before the goalposts get moved.
Look for that too.
It's going to happen.
One of them, where's his scar?
Where's the scar?
Here's a scar.
Well, crap.
Okay.
Here's a small one.
Small one.
Sure.
Nobody said it blew his ear off.
Nope.
There's a scar.
Where is it?
You ever hear of a blade job?
That's in wrestling when they cut their forehead.
Like, all right.
No way to say.
I guess now we've gone from where's his scar to there it is.
Well, I could just he could have done it himself.
But you said, where is his scar?
Okay.
Okay.
Let's go to the next one where Piers Morgan, I think, did a pretty good job there.
He did, yeah.
The man who was killed, Mr. I've heard it pronounced comprator and comparator.
When that was brought up, oh, yeah, come on.
You got anything more than that?
The bod.
So, okay, here's why there's, well, here, here's the proof.
None of it can be 100%.
That's the position that people are.
Family, co-workers, police, government officials, including Shapiro there in Pennsylvania, all confirmed the death.
Are they all in on it?
Why?
Why would you have family and coworkers and a Democrat and Republicans?
And those aren't, if it's just one, for example, if you look at a lot of conspiracies like Antifa being let off the hook, well, it just takes Ray saying Antifa is not a real thing.
Right.
Oh, you go, oh, okay, that determines the policy, right?
If you look at the conspiracy that isn't a conspiracy of big tech censorship, well, it just takes one phone call because the same day, Facebook, Meta, Instagram, Twitter, Apple, Spotify, YouTube,
Google all got rid of Alex Jones in one day, right?
It's not a conspiracy.
That really only involves 10 people.
In this case, it would involve hundreds of people, thousands of people who don't have the shared invested interest.
Why?
And I know there's going to be a lazy answer that all these people are controlled by one person and that's why.
And so you shouldn't believe your lying eyes and ears.
Here's the other one.
Why would the New York Times be in on it?
People who really, really, really, really didn't want President Trump to win, I believe, officially endorsed Kamala Harris, or was that the Washington Post?
You guys can fact check me.
If they didn't endorse her, it was a soft endorsement.
They were the ones who had the image of the bullet.
Here you go.
Well, they're in on it with the family, with a conservative family.
It's a fake picture, Steve.
And a governor, it's a fake picture.
Ah, ah, right.
It's a fake picture.
Also, no one else in the press who would be a competitor to the New York Times would reverse engineer that picture and have that mammoth scoop that it's fake.
Keep in mind, I believe it was the New York Times or Wall Street Journal who said that the engravings on the bullets used against Charlie Kirk that we released, they said that was fake when it was real.
And they had to concede that later on.
They're always looking to accuse someone of a fake story.
No one?
That's about all Jesse Ventura offers.
But some other people are offering other conspiracies, again, that cannot be proven or disproven.
Here's one that I've heard: well, why didn't they rush him off the stage?
That's another one you're going to see.
Why don't they run this?
This is clearly not real because they wouldn't allow him to get up and pump his fist.
They would have immediately taken him off stage.
This is all theater.
Well, they did try, and there's audio that has not been disputed that clearly demonstrates why he was there and wanted to inspire people.
I've got you, sir.
I got you, sir.
Let me get my shoes.
Hold up in your head.
They were all in on it, I guess, too.
Where you say, ah, it still doesn't make sense.
Guys, what are we doing here?
And if you're going to try and take away one of the most significant moments in presidential history that certainly I can remember in my lifetime, as far as yeah,
would you guys probably say as far as someone running for office, this was the most significant event to happen to an individual?
I'm not talking about 9-11.
In my 36 years, yeah.
Yeah.
Okay.
I remember I went.
I was born in the 80s, but there's things before, but yeah.
Certainly up there.
Yeah.
And that's a big reason as to why he won.
It inspired a lot of people.
Afterwards, you even had Zuckerberg and Yaniel Hamas saying, look, that's really badass.
Yeah.
Now you have people on the right, for some reason, they always lean toward taking away a win, taking away the ability for President Trump to be inspiring in any capacity while telling you it's because they're America first.
Also, time traveling, Jesse Ventura, had some words and a rebuttal for current Jesse Ventura.
A bunch of slack jaw fidgets around here.
See, I like that one better.
Yeah, he had a cool mustache.
And I'll open the floor to you.
Anything I'm missing?
I hate that we even have to address this, but I know this is going to be a thing that more people are going to carry.
They'll try and.
It seems like it's cropped back up because of the Iran thing.
Because they were trying to say that President Trump truly does believe that Iran did make plans to try and assassinate him, whether that was Butler, whether it was a golf course, whether there's other things that didn't happen.
There's actually been a court case that concluded that somebody testified that they were paid by Iran.
I think it was a Pakistani man, if I remember correctly.
He believes that.
And so they're starting to undercut that in the frame of we're at kind of war-ish with Iran right now.
So I've seen this on the fringes, but now it's starting to make its way into the mainstream a little bit.
And I'm like, I see what you're doing.
There's always something else.
It can't possibly be what he said it was.
To be prepared, too, to have more Jesse Ventura on TV.
Yes.
Especially with this ran stuff going on.
He loves any opportunity to come in and tell everybody about how much of a hero he is.
Yeah.
And how much of a hero his family.
Before the clip we played, he was asked something and he didn't answer the question.
All he said was, I know about ICE.
Yeah, because my grandfather fought in World War I and my parents fought in World War II and I fought in Vietnam and my brother.
And so I know what I'm talking about.
And then Peter's like, okay, but the question.
Looks, I know about ICE.
You know, the first thing I did when I got in a hotel was I went down to the ice maker on the second floor and I put it in my bucket.
I make sure to use the bag.
I got to use the bag to keep it sanitary because I've been using ice all my life, big chief.
I don't think it's about ice, to be clear.
I wish it was now, but.
Yeah, yeah, you wouldn't know.
I don't just have an ice maker.
All right, buddy, I got a nugget ice maker.
That's where it's like a reverse, Godforsaken snowflake where it actually adds layers and it's crunchy and satisfying.
You wouldn't know about ICE.
Don't try and talk to me about ICE.
All right.
All right, tough guy.
And here's...
And people buy it, though.
They buy it.
They go, oh, yeah, he's a war hero.
Look at him.
He blew up unexploded ordinance underwater in the 70s or 60s or 75 years ago.
Who cares?
He knows everything.
And I've seen the people pushing this a lot.
And again, I'd say it's 58% on the right.
And this is just an estimate, 50% on the left.
I think it'd be higher on the right.
Yeah.
I think it's almost all on the business.
These people are going to go, listen to Jesse Ventura.
Well, they'll go, I don't care about left or right, man.
I care about truth.
Do you know what he supported?
Do you know what his policies are as far as when he was governor?
This is what people say.
The one answer, look, and I will tell you, it's a sickness.
AIPAC can go screw themselves with a wire brush, to be clear.
I don't think we need to be sending any money to Israel at all whatsoever.
I think they need to fight their own battles, and we need to protect our country.
And if our interests ever align, and I think they align probably less often than many have claimed, more often than some would like to believe, great.
Find out where that works.
But some people now would tell you, well, the reason that the right and the left and all these folks have come together who campaign against each other to gaslight you, to psyop you, is because they're really controlled by the Jews.
And I've heard this quite a bit, right?
They go, it's just a few people at the top who want us all fighting, man.
Left versus right.
It's the elite.
And they believe that it's largely the Jews.
It's like, oh, oh, I'm sorry.
Hey, let's assume, okay?
And just don't take me out of context.
Let's assume we get rid of all Jews tomorrow.
Some kind of anti-Jew rapture bomb where they just disappear nonviolently and the nation of Israel disappears tomorrow.
Okay.
Oh, I guess I didn't have a difference of opinion with the Democrats on trans and kids.
It was the Jews who psyoped me into thinking, I thought that you supported Democrats.
I thought that you supported abortion all the way up until and including birth and even after birth, like Governor of Virginia Northam said.
No, I just imagined that.
I thought that you, Democrat, I thought that you said a 90% top marginal tax rate was okay.
That was just me.
I dreamt that.
I thought Green New Deal was something you, I must have just dreamt it.
I thought DEI was, I thought, give them space to destroy Black Lives Matter.
I thought Antifa's just an idea.
I thought I had disagreements with the left.
All the Jews are gone.
Turns out I'm okay with all of it and we can all get along.
You Jews.
And watch.
Someone's going to watch this and go, hope those $7,000 are worth it.
Shekels.
They'll call them shekels.
Let's be honest about it.
Like to act like we, like, everyone's getting together.
They're like, yes, what did you say, Jew?
All right.
I'll pretend like I don't want to transition kids and that that is my primary grievance with the entire Democrat Party.
I mean, the left doesn't want to transition kids either.
It's just the Jews tell them to do it.
Right, exactly.
It must be that right.
They all know all the porn sites, except except they don't.
But they don't.
Like, that's what I see with this.
Yeah.
That's, that's what I'm seeing out there.
Otherwise, there is no, there is no logical response to say, yeah, Democrats, Republicans, and all these people would get together to convince you that there was an assassination attempt.
So the Jews are so convincing.
The Jews, not Israel, the Jews are so convincing that Democrats willingly took part in a staged assassination plot that would guarantee Donald Trump a better chance at being elected.
Right.
Oh, it doesn't matter because he's also controlled by the Jews.
So at the end, it's the same thing.
Kamala Harris, Donald Trump, you're going to get the same results.
We all know Kamala Harris would have declared that there were two genders.
We all know that she would have had the same policy on tariffs.
We all know that she wouldn't have continued Biden's policy in the board that led to 12 to 20 million illegal aliens getting in.
She would have closed it just like Donald Trump.
There's no difference.
There's no difference.
You're just being psyoped.
Okay.
I just, I hope, I hope we can do better.
And I'm not talking about you, but just question everything that you read out there right now.
Because ultimately, if you follow it to the end of the trail, you're like, oh, okay.
That's what this is about.
Jesse Ventura, he's back now.
Him and his fucking riff rap.
The bot is back.
Former governor of Minnesota here.
You can call me the bot.
No, I won't.
I won't.
All right, tough guy.
Call you a skeleton.
Yeah, sounds to me like a blade job.
What?
This Sunday on geriatric wrestling.
Watch Jerry.
Watch Jesse Ventura, the bot.
It's just so sad.
The sagging bar.
I like Pierce's idea, though.
It'd be nice to see them fight.
That'd be cool.
It would.
Yeah.
Yeah, he could be just, he could have like a Santa outfit.
Yeah.
I'm coming down your chimney tonight there, big chief.
All I have is coral and ash whippings, and I'm straight out of coal, tough guy.
Trump shows up wearing the Grinch outfit.
That would be awesome.
Steal your Christmas.
Right.
And by the way, hey, you know what?
We're actually not going to, we don't steal here.
We give.
We give too much.
It's time to give even more.
It's a reverse super chat.
Today is brought to you by actually the strange animal blend at Blackout Coffee.
BlackoutCoffee.com slash crowded.
Just give away 50 free subscriptions in the chat.
You can use the code Crowder for 20% off blackoutcoffee.com slash Crowder.
And we developed this.
I actually went through.
Took a few weeks late to get the right blend.
It's what we use here.
And if you were gifted any of these super chats, just hey, tag me on extra Instagram.
And, you know, just try and avoid the blade jobs because you'll actually get a lot of it.
You get the pockmarks in your forehead, and it's not necessary.
This has been reverse super chat.
I can't afford a blade.
What the.
Did I just hit my microphone?
You did get your mic off.
I thought I was going to throw it at you.
Don't throw it.
Just put it on the desk.
I'm going to throw it at you, but then I.
Don't.
Why would you throw things at me?
That's not nice.
That's not what friends do.
Do it.
See, I tried to fake him out over here.
Yeah, yeah.
All right.
Good talk.
Yeah.
Okay.
Thank you.
And thank you for the raid that just came in.
We appreciate it.
You just missed a whole segment on Jesse Vincent.
Just do it.
Please.
I don't have the patience today.
Climb up that butt.
Go.
Go, go, go.
I'll leave it there.
He really wants that.
Yesterday, Melania, I had special guests at an AI conference.
Watch.
Look at those two hotties.
Like her black elbows.
And of course, it always begs the question who is doing the programming.
Right.
Because some would say that the robot was, at the very least, behavior toward Melania on the line.
Looks like you've done this before.
Walking like a pro.
What are you doing, later?
I haven't eaten yet.
Oh.
Poor guy got his heart broken.
Yeah, you know, that's the problem, is they're getting too advanced.
Now they've actually, they feel.
You do.
And I don't feel good about that.
I like that.
I like that I can, you know, condescend a robot.
That's cool.
You like that you can destroy a robot's dreams?
Yeah, I mean, he can take my job, but I can hurt his feelings.
That's right.
That's a fair trade.
Yeah.
Funny, I guarantee you there's some guys who do that with AI.
Of course, are you getting that?
There's some women who gossip about AI with other AI behind AI's back.
We already have a racist term for AI.
We do.
That's true.
That's right.
Wait.
I forgot.
Oh, you can compute really fast, but you'll never climax.
Tell that to the trannies.
Hey, yesterday, actually, pop culture, it was completely dominating the internet because there's new Harry Potter out.
I don't understand fully why, but the funny part is the backlash.
And Stephen Colbert, for some reason, is writing the new Lord of the Rings.
It's time for Hollywood Minute.
So you're clear, no original stories are coming out?
I was going to say, in exhibit A as to why AI didn't replace your job, you did.
You did, Hollywood.
You made your jobs irrelevant by recycling ideas, by basically paint-by-numbers scripts.
Harry Potter, I understand an old movie like Dune.
Yeah.
Dune is almost, someone once said Dune is, was it Lynch, said it's an impossible film to direct.
So you make it now with new technology.
I get significantly better.
Harry Potter, it was pretty well done.
These were some of the most popular films of all time.
It's not like there's a huge generational gap because it's timeless.
So that tells you there might be a different reason, along with profit motive, to remake Harry Potter in the new, perhaps more left-leaning image.
Here's the trailer.
I told you.
He's got everything in there.
It's like a tiny house.
And you're going to start acting like one.
Ah, great.
The bullies are white.
And it's an all-boys white school, so it's fine.
Yeah, but it's not really British, is it?
There is nothing special.
Not now, it's not.
About you.
Original.
Yeah, I was going to say we're using that term loosely a little bit.
Your parents were the kindest, bravest people I ever met.
They were funny.
That's good casting.
The next time I see you, we'll be in Hogwarts.
I'm just not really seeing the difference.
It's not.
I think we can expect great things from you.
I used to be a guy.
Let's see who you are.
Are you really Harry Potter?
Okay.
I mean, it looks the same.
It has the same title.
It's even released at the same time at Christmas at the end of the year.
And again, you say there are Christmas elements.
Philosopher's Stone.
That's a different title.
No, not really.
The Sorcerer's Stone?
It was a Sorcerer's Stone.
In Canada, it was Philosopher's Stone.
Yeah, the Original's Philosopher.
The originals.
Yes.
The way it was written is Philosopher's Stone.
The book?
Correct.
Okay.
The U.S. version.
The U.S. is- Because in Europe it was still a little bit different.
It was the Sorcerer's Stone here in the United States.
Okay, that's pivotal.
So, I will say, Nick Frost is Hagrid.
Great.
I like it.
John Lithgow is anything I don't like.
I don't know why people.
Oh, my God.
You know what?
Everything is over the top.
Yes, of course.
Everything's over the top.
Yeah.
It's Harry Potter.
He's hilarious.
That's totally fine with me.
If he's in a comedy, it's hilarious.
It is, yeah.
In little amounts.
Everything?
Fine.
And I'll get to John Lithgow, by the way.
Come on.
And I'll get to John Lithgow in a second who apologized for it because it's not enough.
J.K. Rowling is like, you know, she isn't really involved with this.
She just wrote the books, right, that were so famous.
There are actually people now who are furious that any actor would willingly take part in a J.K. Rowling book-based film because she had the nerve to say that men shouldn't compete in women's sports.
Right?
This is a known lifelong liberal who's pro-refugee, open borders, just doesn't want dicks and ladies' locker rooms.
And so that requires a boycott.
So Professor Snape, once played by Alan Rickman, will now be played by Papa Isido, black guy, which is fine.
You can do that now.
I don't care a ton.
But here's the thing.
We're all the nerds, like the left, because we're all the nerds.
You'd be like, well, if you read the book.
Well, the book is pretty clear.
It describes Snape as a thin, greasy-haired man with a pale, sneering face.
Okay.
Not to mention.
He's pale.
If you guys remember the storyline, they're going to have to deal with Harry's dad lynching a black Snape at some point.
They can't lynch him.
I mean, there are hands down.
I think it will come across that way.
They bullied him for sure.
I did hang him by the foot.
Did you say there was a character who used to be a guy who's a woman now or something?
Maybe it was just the voice, but yeah, the wand maker was a man.
And that looked like a woman there.
Well, it could just be.
Maybe it was a feminine voice and a man.
Here's the thing.
No issue.
But does it ever go the other way?
And I know you'll say, like, Matt Damon with Genghis Kan, but no, that doesn't count.
Do they ever take a historically black character and be like, yeah, let's just make a bite.
A historically, like, have you seen a film where Rosa Parks was played by John Toturo?
I want to see that film, though.
I want to see young men in the hood.
Young men in the neighborhood.
Yeah, exactly.
Have you ever, I mean, you have the all-black first swim team, only they're whites.
You're like, what am I watching?
This doesn't make sense.
It only goes one way.
It's never cool runnings.
They're all white.
Yeah, exactly.
It's not about the Swedes.
And this is what we're talking about where they try and convince you.
You saw it earlier with the English breakfast.
Actually, this isn't English.
Actually, this isn't American.
Actually, this is what it should look like.
And so it's fine because it's fine for people to say, you know what?
I'm tired of it.
Why?
Because the people who are supporting these films, the people who are going to be paying for the tickets, most of them would like to see some representation of themselves.
And certainly their most beloved fictional characters.
And certainly, I would argue, even more importantly, historical character, historical figures, like Cleopatra.
Right?
We've seen that.
And so nothing can just be, all right, let's watch it.
And because nothing's original, nothing can simply be created without an agenda.
Very, very little anyway, which brings us to Reddit Retards.
Hang him.
And exhibit 150,042 on why appeasing crocodiles is futile.
John Lithgow, playing Dumbledore, felt the need to go out of his way and let the New York Times know that he considered quitting Harry Potter over J.K. Rowling, but he didn't.
Why say it?
Why say it?
But he said that he stuck it out despite knowing that every interview I ever will do for the rest of my life, this will come up because you brought it up.
It's because you brought it up.
I loved him in Cliffhanger.
And then he even, he's really trying to do damage control.
He said, you know, he never met Rowling.
I want to be really clear.
I've never met her.
And I don't agree with her, but I really think that Harry Potter is antithetical to the lady who wrote it because he wrote, it's clearly on the side of the angels against intolerance and bigotry.
That's not true.
The fuck?
I'm sorry.
It's wizard people.
I know.
It's wizard people.
Hey, you know what?
You want to be outraged about this?
How do you think those midgets felt when they're like, oh, man, oh, my agent?
I got a new role.
What is it?
It's going to be a bank Jew.
You're going to be a midget bank Jew.
Goblins.
They're goblins.
Come on, man.
I'm not the one who said it.
We know what they were doing.
Will I be a romantic lead?
You're going to be horrible.
You're going to scare small children as it should be, midget client.
Said the new transing spell.
Transagonia.
How long are your fingernails?
Yeah, exactly.
But it wasn't good enough.
So John Wilsgow knew it was coming.
And this, now you have the Reddit retard response.
Here's someone, she wrote, who is it?
Brian IRL.
Perhaps Lithgow will live long enough to realize that history will remember him more as a participant in this walking human rights violation than for his other work.
Sorry, we're tatted.
Like Third Rock from the Sun.
Yeah.
His other prestigious work.
Yeah, hey, I like him.
Don't.
Lithgow is so annoying.
He makes me miss French Stewart.
Oh, God.
How dare you?
Well, I could play Professor Snape.
No, you can't.
You can't do anything.
Where's the Howards or something?
You ruined Home Alone 4 or whatever it was.
Come on.
It's your fault for watching.
I can't believe you said that.
That is a completely fair crisis.
My eyes need this.
It's a completely fair.
Third Rock from the Sun was actually pretty funny.
Oh, yes, it was.
I like that.
But it's not like a series.
And Cliffhanger was a fun action movie.
Thank you.
Here's another reaction to Lithgow's participation in a walking human rights violation.
For those of you just tuning in, yes, acting in a Harry Potter film is just like hosing down blacks trying to get a piece of pie at a diner pre-Civil Rights Act.
That's how these people view it.
Here's a reaction on TikTok to Lithgow the SS officer.
No one complained when I agreed to play Roll Dahl, but I received so many messages about J.K. Rowling.
Isn't that odd?
No, actually, John Lithgow, it's not really that odd.
J.K. Rowling, who is still very much with us, is actively using this project to make more money to funnel hatred policies and laws that will harm my trans brothers and sisters and siblings is more important to me than a fictional series.
I guess naturally, I think it's a great reaction from an old white man like John Lithgow.
I guess you don't have to make money.
You don't have to worry about morality and ethics.
But yeah.
And it's not remotely the same thing as playing a very much dead person to what you're doing now.
What?
Okay, well, I'll be sure to boycott your EBT mom business.
Yeah.
But let's just do what they say, these will cause harm to trans people.
Let me present to you point counterpoint.
And this does matter because we act as though there's a legitimate debate going on.
All right.
Here's why I don't want biological men in women's sports or biological men in women's bathrooms.
And I don't believe that societally we should encourage or take part in this delusion that you can change gender.
Okay, because there is no scientific evidence to support this.
As a matter of fact, all evidence that we have goes to the contrary that you are, in fact, born with a male or female brain matched to your body.
Also, an increased risk of sexual assault, increased risk of sexual harassment, the fact that I know not all trans people, but it opens the doors to predators.
This is why we have had these safeguards in the past.
Also, physical harm to women, women losing out on potential opportunities that would go to actual biological women.
Not to mention the fact that if we say men and women are fundamentally interchangeable, that means that we lose the ideal rearing of children scenario with a nuclear family.
And it creates litany of complications as far as the medical community.
None of this is good.
And there's no reason to do it.
Also, because encouraging this results in more people with mental illness at a younger age.
All right.
And it's gross.
Yeah.
So I won't go along with it.
And it's also, let's also add slippery slope because now they want a trans kids, which you said would never happen.
Okay.
Their argument is it will harm people because if you don't do what they want, they may kill themselves.
Sounds like trying to hold the whole world ransom, trying to hold the whole world hostage to me.
That's it.
There is no other counter argument.
None.
None.
Believe me.
I asked, what is a woman in 2016?
It changed my mind.
And then again and again and again and again and said, okay, let's just start with this.
What is a man?
What is a woman?
No one ever gave me an answer.
No one ever gave me a valid argument.
It's never come up.
You can disagree with mine, but it is incumbent upon you to argue why.
And when you make a statement like it's going to harm people, you definitely need to validate that somehow.
But they don't.
Other reactions to this, here's from on Reddit, broad radish 7895, because 7894 was taken.
It's sad that a huge part of her transphobia comes from her deep resentment for being born a woman.
What?
The thought of trans people finding joy makes her so rabid because it threatens the legitimacy of her hang-ups and shatters her worldview.
But I'm retarded.
This is right.
This is what they do.
Racist, transphobia.
And then they'll do this.
If you're a black person who isn't on board, not necessarily voting Republican, but isn't on board with one Black Lives Matter or mainstream leftist black talking point.
Uncle Tom.
They're doing it right now with the ICE agents.
They're not wearing masks at the airports.
Right.
And they're going, who's this N-word?
Right.
Revoke this N-word from our group.
This guy's not black.
These people aren't part of us.
Yeah.
Think about this.
And you expect people to give you more respect?
Right.
Think about Ben Carson.
Detroit.
Single mother, rough upbringing, tried to stab a relative and was stopped by a belt buckle.
Then ROTC, first person to separate conjoin twins, speaks out against the kind of messaging that, well, he's just not, he's racist.
He's the kind of guy who you said you wanted as a representative.
J.K. Rowling, feminist, anti-patriarchy, I believe single at this point, pro-refugee, all of the things, except, well, I do think that, you know, female is a biological term.
She hates women.
It doesn't matter what it is.
You have to follow lockstep, even when they present something that has no basis in reality, no rooting in any type of scientific literature, and they'll tell you to trust the science.
So J.K. Rowling isn't enough because of one difference.
The feminist J.K. Rowling, who is, I don't know, but I'm willing to bet, pro-abortion, I know pro-refugee, I know pro-liberal party, I know anti-patriarchy.
Because she doesn't want biological men in women's spaces, we are now at the point where John Lithgow is the Gestapo.
It's not a small thing.
Do you understand?
Charlie Kirk being assassinated is a manifestation of this.
Do you guys get that?
You have one difference of opinion.
They will paint you as subhuman.
Here's why.
If I could travel back in time and actually find a member of the SS, people who are actually killing innocent folks or someone in the Stalin regime, Pol Pot, guess what?
I would.
I'd have no problem with it.
These people want to make the world believe that you are, that John Lithgow is, that J.K. Rowling is.
And many of us have been shot at, or we've seen those attempts for our troubles.
Another Reddit retard, OK Association 2774, wrote, I love how this will forever be a part of her legacy.
Trans people just want to live and be themselves.
I don't know what the issue is with that.
You can go use a urinal.
Yes, as long as you're not sexually frustrated and take that frustration on other people by raping them.
That's you do whatever you want.
Just you're a man and go ahead and use men things.
That's fine.
I'll stay.
Stay away from not being yourself.
That's the whole point.
Yeah.
Think about this.
Let's just use Leah Thomas as an example, right?
Because everyone knows that.
Leah Thomas is ranked as a man 500-something, if I'm not mistaken.
Then medals.
Once he became a woman, just trying to live their life or trying to hop scotch 499 spots in the league.
I would argue those 500-something men who swam better than him were just trying to live their life.
And all of those women were just trying to live their life till he took it from them.
Now multiply that by all the problems in society.
For the religious zealots, there's not even anti-trans passages in any religious texts I know of.
Well, of course, that's not true.
I can read it.
Not that old ass books should ever be a complete guide on how to live life anyway.
Maybe she's mad some trans woman naturally looks better than she does, which isn't difficult for any woman to achieve.
And God created them male and female.
You may want to start at the beginning.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And here we go to the point.
Oh, the death of the sisterhood.
Now let's now let's make fun of her looks.
Yeah, everyone's beautiful, unless you have an idea I don't like.
Exactly.
Then you're ugly and gross.
And everyone's fat pride until, oh, then pick me.
Open salamander 9640 writes.
I'm a librarian.
I don't give a shit.
That means they're qualified, Stephen.
Stephen, that's petty.
They make $16 an hour.
Yeah.
We know what they're talking about.
You went to four years of college to learn how to go shh.
And was a library, a children's librarian for a decade.
At work, I planned annual Harry Potter birthday celebrations.
I was even planning a Harry Potter nursery for my child.
Then she liked that post in 2018.
We all side-eyed.
I, like the whole fandom, hoped and assumed it was a one-off mistake.
Then in 2019, she affirmed it.
That's all it took.
Decor came down.
Merch was purged.
She will never get another dime from my lesbian ass.
She's retarded.
Well, just lead with that so I know to ignore the rest of it.
She was getting your dimes when you were a straight ass.
So lesbian nursery.
Yeah, with kids.
That's fantastic.
Connections.
But these people around them.
And so here's the thing: the left tries to appease these people.
We saw that for a long time.
And then the market kind of corrected.
But they can't help themselves.
Hollywood is so insulated.
I don't know that they'll ever get it right long term.
So let's go to like Lord of the Rings, for example.
Lord of the Rings, many of you don't know because most people don't watch it.
They had a show.
They had a show.
It's a show.
It's on Amazon, The Rings of Power.
It hasn't really done all that well.
And a big reason for it, a huge part of the criticism came from character swapping, gender swapping, and the whole show, which already had, you know, Lord of the Rings, the original story, strong female characters, tried to shove the girl boss narrative down your throat.
The next talking movie after 100 years.
Actually, sorry, it's the other clip clip.
Yeah.
We're going to that one.
Galadriel.
I watched.
Step forward.
I wasn't advised.
What?
What?
No.
Is that five guys?
I hate all of this.
A full-size man would not do that.
She beat five men in armor.
She did because she's a much better fighter than a story.
With swords.
Okay.
It's one of the strongest female characters ever written, and it was not because she was a fucking battle major.
No, exactly.
You guys want to know?
Like, if any woman actually, like, well, you know, really, with enough training, here's what you do.
You have your lady go, okay, look, hold out your hand.
You go, I'm going to high-five you at 20% intensity.
Then say, okay, now times that by five and imagine it going through your face.
You understand now why this is not believable, correct?
And me angry.
Yeah, it's just, it's just, it's enough.
By the way, you don't empower women by telling them that they can be better at being men.
There are other ways that women can be empowered.
So she should have used her witness.
The side benefit here, and you can attest to this, she's kind of annoying in this series.
And the male characters are all way cooler, in my opinion, than she is.
So there is some benefit.
I don't know.
I don't watch it.
It's worked out.
Because I got stuff to do.
But seeing this feedback, those in charge of the franchise with the right said, you know what?
We can write this ship.
We should really get back to our roots, right?
Token traditional, deeply Christian writer with a lot of old school, certainly what you would consider patriarchal but Western Christian values.
I know.
Let's find the most divisive, agenda-driven, sobbing, liberal, pussy, late-night host we can and have Colbert write the new Lord of the Rings script.
The next talking movie after Hunt for Gollum and the fact that we've pounded up with you to develop the script.
So yeah, I'm pretty happy about it.
And Jessica, now are you sure you've got the time, though?
Because, you know.
I did not think I would have the time.
As much as I love it, I knew I couldn't do that and do this show at the same time.
But it turns out I'm going to be free starting to sob.
Isn't that fortunate?
Isn't that a you catastrophe right there?
And for those of you wondering, no, he hasn't written anything.
Yeah, I thought maybe he had like this career of writing scripts that we just didn't know about.
Also, you might not know this.
You guys might not know this, but that was really funny.
Yeah, yes.
It was super funny.
He's a really funny guy.
He is.
So you might not have got that, but I want you to know, trust me, it's super funny.
Because the network says so, and he's paid $15 million a year to be funny.
The good news is nobody really cares.
You don't have any friends.
Nobody likes you.
Not listening.
Not listening.
Very well done.
Now, just so this show isn't all depressing to you, there is a silver lining.
And this man, Vince Vaughan, who at one point was the best dollar for dollar investment in all of Hollywood, by the way, he was pretty outspoken about his politics and he lost out on a lot of roles for his troubles.
He was on the Theo Vaughan podcast and he talked specifically about this and the inauthenticity that you see in late shows.
The reason that this matters is because this is a guy, Vince Vaughan.
He didn't come up in the podcast space.
He appeared on all of the late night shows.
He had to play that game for a long time.
So pulling back that curtain, I think, is more valuable in exposing it.
It's a great interview.
A lot of the late shows have struggled.
Oh, yeah.
Because all they did during like, all they did, the only person they could make fun of at a certain point was just like white, redneck kind of people, and it tanked, and then everything tanked after that.
Think about that.
But see, they never get it right.
The podcasts have gotten so much more popular with less production, less writers, less staff.
I had two people working here and both of them were hung over.
And one guy is shingles.
I think, to a large part, became really agenda-based.
Relatable.
They were going to evangelical people to what they thought.
You know what I mean?
And so people just rejected it because it didn't feel authentic.
It felt like they had an agenda.
It stopped being funny and it started feeling like I was in a class I didn't want to take.
Yeah.
Do you know what I mean?
For sure.
I've been scolded.
100%.
I think people are going to tune into a podcast more so because they want to feel like people are having a real conversation that's interesting to them.
But if you look at what happened to the talk shows and why their ratings are low, it's got only to do with the fact of what you just said, which is they all became the same show.
And they all became so about their politics and who's good and who's bad.
And it's like, imagine sitting next to someone like that on a f ⁇ ing plane.
Oh, bro, you'd be like, how do I get out of this?
Silly fart right next to me.
Holy cow.
You fart your way out of it.
And by the way, he's been persona non-grata for a while in a lot of Hollywood circles, which is why actually I know Larry David is a well-known liberal, but he's had him as a recurring character, which means they must be able to get along.
This goes back to 2015.
I remember reading this article where he stated he had libertarian views in 2015.
Then he gave a college speech in May of 2015 where he said, in this speech, he said, there's a challenge because you're up against such a system in place that it kind of indoctrinates, if you will.
And like, this is good, that's bad.
Like, why is every week global warming week?
Is what I'm trying to say.
He criticized gun laws in June 2015.
He said, banning guns is like banning forks in an attempt to stop making people fat, right?
And then he took flack just for being seen with President Trump at a college football game, just like John Lithgow is getting flack just for appearing in a Harry Potter film.
And that may be why Vince Vaughan has an axe to grind and is pretty insightful and I would say qualified to discuss elitism in Hollywood.
You know, Hollywood is pretty much overly kind of a liberal place.
Yeah.
And so you would have, but not really.
Yeah.
You know what I mean?
Yeah.
It's more like we're smart and got it figured out.
And if you don't agree, then you're right.
Then you're an idiot.
Yeah, yeah.
That's true.
It's not liberal in the way that liberal in the way that we think where it's like, hey, it's all groovy.
Right.
Yeah, it's not liberal like a hippie with a joint.
It was never really a place where within individuals and friends, and we could always disagree and always joke with each other.
People my age, I disagree, agree, and you could change, we'd change our minds, we'd laugh, we'd joke.
But there was definitely a culture that if you didn't agree with these ideas, you were looked at as bad.
Yeah, for sure.
Yeah, I think Hollywood Green got more political.
I don't know if it got more political.
No, they got rewarded for it.
Yeah, they started to come out there and do it.
And I don't even know how much everyone even is informed on everything.
Yeah.
But they really like to get out there and do it.
It's one thing to say, this is where I'm at.
Yeah.
And then hear someone else's point of view and disagree or agree.
It's another thing to be like, I'm so right.
Yeah.
And I got to, and I'm going to help you or condescend to you.
That's the part that no one, I mean, who wants, no one wants to hang out with that.
Yeah, so it got to that.
My agent is right.
And so this, I'm going to have to tell you what they think.
Yeah, I highly recommend you go check out the interview.
Again, like you said, it was an interesting conversation.
Do we want to hit Olivia Rodrigo next or the new Candace controversy?
I think we go to that and we'll save the all right.
Now, this is one that just was breaking while we went live.

So Candace Owens, I would say I don't know why, but I do.
Take a guess as to why Candace Owens would be going after attacking a young Nick Shirley who's done some incredible work as of late.
I mean, do you think anyone would know about the fraud going on?
No.
The Learing Center?
Yeah.
You think people would know about that?
So you think there's value?
Do you want more Nick Shirleys out there?
Or do you want less?
And this is why when people say, okay, you don't punch right.
Well, of course, if someone's a fraud, if someone is actually disingenuous and they're fleecing you, yeah, you need to point that out.
But I see some of this infighting where it's just, I want to destroy anyone who isn't me, and I have no basis in it other than insinuation.
So it begs the question, why?
I'll give you the answer or my thought as to what the answer is.
But Candace Owens decided to take aim at Nick Shirley.
Oh, this is going to be productive.
Lots of strange things happened to find myself on top of Brazil's largest favela in a destroyed house interviewing gang members of one of the largest gangs in Brazil.
Okay, I'm just going to say I don't believe that at all.
I'm sorry.
I just, I, I just, it's so stupid.
I'm not even going to tell you why I don't believe it.
It's like, it's like, if you don't know that that's stupid, that he infiltrated the gang in 48.
Lots of strange things happened to find myself on top of Brazil's market.
