EPISODE 11: COMFORTABLE LIES (NOVEMBER 6TH, 2023 PART 2)
Frustration persists as the boys continue discussing the three, seemingly selected pages, "manifesto" of the Covenant School Shooter that Steven. How many pages is he holding hostage and how many shirt sales for him to let the true context be known? Time will tell but I'm fairly sure that day will never come. But it does sound like police will be at his door sooner than later. Email: louderthancrowder@gmail.com Twitter/X: @thancrowder Music by DJ Danarchy
Welcome to Louder Than Crowder, a podcast about the podcast.
Louder with Crowder.
Hey, guys.
Thanks for coming back for part two.
This is part two of a conversation that we had of Stephen Crowder's November 6th episode of his show, where he leaked what he considers a manifesto of the Covenant school shooter.
And yeah, if you haven't heard part one, I would definitely recommend jumping back and having listened to that.
But I would say it's a Like a prerequisite.
I wouldn't even just recommend it.
I mean, it'll make no sense.
It wouldn't.
Out of context.
So don't listen yet.
Go to part one if you haven't listened to part two.
Yeah, here we go.
Part two of our conversation.
Ready for another clip?
Fucking A man.
Let's do it.
People said, what's the motive?
What's going on while they're talking about gun control?
One thing.
We know this shooter was transgender.
We know that this shooter shot up a Christian school.
We know that this shooter obviously did not like people who were conservative Christian.
OK.
One thing.
List three things.
If everyone knew, oh, the manifesto cites white privilege.
This person would probably be known as the white privilege shooter.
The trans white privilege shooter.
They're always looking for coined nicknames.
Well, there you go.
If you have to distill it, let's distill it.
We know why this person did it.
Terrible writer.
Yeah.
Terrible writer.
Bad ideas all the time.
Do you guys know any coined nickname mass shooters?
Yeah, for sure.
There's the Columbine High School Shooters.
Named after the location.
Sandy Hook Shooters.
Yeah, Mickey the Mass Shooter.
Mickey the Mad Man.
Michael.
What the fuck is he talking about?
They name him after the fucking place it happened, Steven.
Of course.
For the most part.
El Paso Shooter.
It's always that.
There's no coin nickname, and that's just his excuse to call it the trans... anti-christian shooter, what'd he say?
He's been calling it by a nickname the entire time.
They've been calling this guy the Pulse Nightclub Shooter.
Huh, what the fuck does the Pulse mean?
What the fuck is that?
So stupid.
Shut the fuck up.
So is this, uh... I'm not gonna go there.
Okay.
My problem isn't just with the leftist media who would want to bury it.
No conservatives?
Out there?
With hundreds of millions of dollars?
No one?
Did the digging?
No one thought this was relevant?
They are lean and they are mean.
It's a handful of people.
But these are people who've worked at a lot of these other networks.
These are people who have said, all right, we want to do what it is that we've always been meant to do and have not been permitted to.
And that's why we are able to do this here today.
We thank Rumble.
We thank you.
If you're a member of Mug Club, you can join, use the promo code.
Yeah, still trying to make money.
Steven, it's because they're real journalists and real journalists have like an understanding of the value of information.
Yeah.
What's that other word that comes after journalist?
Integrity.
That's the one.
Yeah, for sure.
You know, what's really funny is whenever I tune into the news, they usually try and sell me their MLMs right after the big stories.
Wow.
Anderson Cooper is always trying to get me to sign up to his sub stack.
Melaleuca.
Oh, and that too.
Good old classic Patriot.
That he can't send you to a CNN streaming network.
It was crazy.
Wolf Blitzer is always trying to get me to buy food buckets.
Can we try that macaroni and cheese wolf?
Wolf smack!
We're joking, right?
But again, objectively, media is funded by people and their motives are important, but I think it's really disingenuous to say that all of the media has the exact same views that are opposite Stephen Crowder's.
Either they disagree or they're too scared to speak the truth.
They're a bunch of pansies.
Except for on Israel.
And pay attention to who doesn't cover it.
And I'm not just talking about normal legacy media.
Pay attention to who doesn't cover this.
This is news.
This is something that everybody needs to get out.
By the way, you guys are making this one of the top trends on Twitter right now.
Keep it going.
Nice.
Because we want people to see this.
So thanks to the incredible work of our undercover unit, you are now about to.
We have for you today, exclusively here on Loud Earth Crowder, courtesy of Mug Club,
first look at part of the handwritten manifesto of the Nashville Shooter.
I had to leave that in.
That music.
Because it's the most, you know, strategic way to release this kind of information for maximum hype.
You got to have a planned stinger.
I keep thinking about how, yeah, how like they were like, we don't want to have to talk about this.
This is so heartbreaking.
Yeah.
The whole show is just expertly scripted.
Everything is pro-wrestling.
Not expertly.
No, that's true.
Scripted.
We're just piping the claps in, the theme music, all this stuff.
Yeah, it's the replatforming all over again.
Yeah.
If you have children, you shouldn't be reading this.
And right now, if you're watching on YouTube, I'm about to direct you exclusively to Rumble slash Mug Club.
They don't want the heat.
Manifesto.
That's kind of weird, right?
Throw a beat on that.
I'm not doing that.
I wanted to read it by itself without adding any editorializing.
But what sticks out at you?
This is after he did read it.
And I get it.
The word cracker, generally speaking, we're not offended as white people.
But the motive is here.
Crackers is mentioned multiple times.
White privilege is mentioned.
Reviling people who are going to private fancy schools.
A Christian fancy school.
Their daddy with their Mustangs, convertibles.
It's anger.
It's hatred.
For white people of suburbia.
Which would mean, hey, hey, that might be an at-risk group.
Yeah, yeah, from the knockout game.
Not only do we have a motive, what stands out to me is we don't just have a motive, but we have a specific mode of targeting.
We know who was in danger.
We know why they were in danger.
White privileges.
Glad you wouldn't equate that.
This is an insane person.
No one is saying that this is not someone who is deeply mentally deranged.
Now I can't say that that's the case because they're transgender.
Glad you wouldn't equate that.
Yeah, no, you're just going to talk a lot about it.
Like it is the case.
Interesting thing, not offended by the word cracker, but offended
by what the word means, which I think is the same.
He's not a snowflake, dude.
Steven Crowder's not a snowflake.
But being... I'm confused.
He saw that word and he shot that word with his guns.
Not offended at all.
But you see what I'm saying, right?
Yes.
When I hear this, the thing that stands out the most to me is he's describing, like, white privilege, right?
He's like, you know, lists all those words.
And some of the words that he included were like, wealthy, drives a Mustang, middle class.
He's implying that white people do that and other people don't?
Is that what he's implying?
It's pretty interesting how loud that quiet part got.
Yeah, that's so fucking stupid.
If anything, and this is always the thing that happens with racism, man.
Man, come on, what the fuck?
Yeah, you're very upset.
But what happens is, they don't recognize that what he's describing is classist.
Yeah.
white supremacist. That's what he's describing is classist things. He's
describing the fact that this person feels beaten down by society because you
know they are a lower class than these people who have these nicer things.
This just gets more into the weeds of like this isn't at all what this person is
saying because Dennis is right this is talking about a class issue and just
like white privilege in this instance would be that like the kids that you
know maybe they're envious or whatever of... They mentioned nice cars and nice
And that kind of seems, yeah, which specifically the backpacks.
You got a fucking Jansport, you don't gotta carry all your books in your fucking hands.
I gotta say, when I was young, I did want a Jansport.
Parents wouldn't fork out the extra couple bucks for the name brand and it was devastating.
Oh yeah.
Sure.
All I see is that it's similar to when you hear people say that there's this two-tiered justice system and da da da da
da.
But I think also it's really important that we understand that white privilege does not mean that all white people
are all better off than people of other races. That's not what that's saying.
No.
It's just saying that there are certain things that can be tied back to the fact that somebody is white.
And that has an easier chance.
Yeah, odds of success are different.
It's not this like, oh, you've turned 18, you're a white man, here is your car, here is your da-da-da-da.
That's not at all what people say when they're describing white privilege.
And Stephen knows that, he's just being disingenuous.
Yeah, that's like one thing I put on here is like, when Steven describes white privilege, do you think it's like, when you're saying white privilege and you're teaching these kids white privilege, you're actually teaching them that white people are evil and that that's what their entire thing, if you're white, you're evil, period, right?
That's what he's going after here.
But like when you break down what white privilege is, right?
There's like understanding like where your, um, relatives are from, right?
Like where your, your place of origin, your culture origin, right?
Talking about like outcomes with police and schools, but also most importantly, I think in, in Steven's case is fucking media bias, right?
Because it's like, this entire thing is about, I want to show you that trans people are bad.
And you have to agree with me because I'm showing you that trans people are bad.
And if you disagree with me then like that means that you say that white people are evil and that mass shootings are fine and that's like part of the culture that you believe in, right?
That's sort of his whole thing and like it's the same thing he did last week with the Knockout Game kid.
It's more media bias.
I want you to be afraid of black kids because I'm afraid of black kids and their threatening auras.
It's just more of the same shit.
And I hate to keep harping on this, but it's like he has all but two modes for his show.
And I think if it's not criticizing somebody's culture, of which he is not a part, then it's criticizing teachers or, you know, the way things get done.
His whole idea that like teachers are teaching kids in high schools and middle schools across the world, grade schools, kindergartners are learning that white people are evil.
This is just simply not the case.
The opposite of white privilege is not white supremacy.
Well.
But I'm going to tell you that someone who's concerned about their anxiety when they are about to go and shoot nine-year-old children, that's someone who's been raised in a narcissistic society where everything you want to feel is okay and more important than the greater good.
Everything you want to feel?
This is the byproduct.
This right here is the byproduct.
Combined with insanity, and a perversion of an unhealthy mind, of participation trophies, of no red pen, of you can be whatever it is that you claim to be, no matter how you were born.
This is the byproduct of you were misgendered at birth by a doctor.
Likely white.
This is the byproduct of white privilege needs to be checked and it's time to stand up Plus some insanity.
and billions of dollars in damages that the media said was mostly peaceful and should continue.
This is the byproduct of what our children have been steeped in in our public schools
and what they absorb through big tech.
Plus some insanity.
Yeah, Jesus Christ.
Plus a little bit of insanity.
Did you guys know that most mass shooters consume water?
That's why I don't drink water.
That's interesting.
Yeah.
What are you drinking?
What are you sipping on?
Dude, Dye Mountain Dew.
Much better than water.
Stay hydrated.
Stay hydrated, baby.
This is his big sell on everything that he hates is the cause of this.
Yeah.
Well, this is just, you know, he's listed my reasons.
Now I'm going to set the hook so that you guys understand.
Again, it's just, it's more dishonest bullshit, man.
I still don't understand, did the manifesto mention anything about being trans at all?
No, the shooter had transitioned in several places on social media and used two different names, Aiden and Audrey.
This is what I think is interesting.
Of the three pages that they showed, it switches between Audrey and Aiden on different pages.
So it feels as if the order has been manipulated or that they're not all coming from the same Journal.
One of 20 journals.
Yeah, it doesn't really make any sense to me.
But whatever narrative they're trying to spin is the correct one, obviously.
But I don't want to brush over this.
There was a community of people at risk.
You touched on that, but I don't want to brush over that.
There's a community of people here that were at risk.
That were not notified.
Rich white people.
If a shooter's book had had, I want to kill all the black kids that I possibly can in it, in these black communities, the word would have gone out.
Like, hey, be careful.
It did, every time.
Right, exactly.
Be careful.
So it's not just that you didn't let us know what the motive was.
You actively kept information from the public that potentially could have helped them.
Now, thank God, I don't know that we had a copycat or we didn't have something else happen that directly claimed to be linked to this.
But that's just good luck, apparently.
Your job is not to hope that something doesn't happen.
Hope is not a strategy, DOJ.
What you're supposed to do is say, hey, this person was targeting white, suburban, and read it because of where they were, Christians.
I guarantee you, when more of this stuff comes out, and we think that this is just the very beginning of what we're going to get on information for this, more of this will come out.
You'll see that undertone as well.
Well, first off, this assumes that police do any sort of preventive patrolling or, you know, maintenance on these types of things anyway.
I mean, how often do we see the FBI selling a fake bomb to a child over the internet, things of that nature, especially local precincts doing this?
Secondly, he's saying that if black people were the ones that were going to be targeted, they would be notified post-haste.
But if it's any kind of white people, strap in boys, because you're about to get blasted off this earth.
It won't come around, I'll tell you shit.
But it all comes back down to the first point.
Cops don't really do that kind of work.
I have one quick question.
Did they say that they had these journals before?
No, it came out after the shooting, of course.
Let me ask you this, Byron.
Let's say there was a car that was about to crash into your house.
Sure.
A car's about to crash into your- and the police actually pulled them over a block away.
Okay.
And so it's not gonna hit you anymore.
Would you want to be notified that that car was about to hit your house?
It doesn't make any sense.
You're not warning them of anything impending, you're just scaring them to scare them about something that didn't happen to them.
In his perfect world, he wanted the Nashville press conference to be like, keep your eyes out for trans people, every white person watching this, because they're going to kill you and your kids.
Yes.
Any kid that they don't convert, they're gonna kill.
And the benefit of a scared society That benefits the people who have the messaging and the control.
Yeah.
I don't think that the people listening to this want to be scared.
I think that Steven and non-Ahoy guy... Captain Morgan.
Captain Morgan.
This is just muddying the waters at this point.
Steven and Captain Morgan.
They're the ones who want these people to be scared because then they're going to cry to Steven for more info.
Like, if somebody said, hey, listen, man, just so you know, somebody was going to try and kill you.
I would not want to know that information.
No.
Unless I could do something about it.
I was going to say, if they're still alive.
Like, I mean, it's oftentimes after something has been disrupted, if you were like a potential target on a list of people that were going to be targeted.
If I can do something with that information, tell me that information.
If I can do nothing and it only makes my life worse.
And also this, it's, it doesn't make any sense.
It doesn't say that.
Of course.
Yeah.
I'm just, I'm just saying you can't warn somebody about impending doom after the doom.
Fucking dork-ass losers.
Speaking of dork-ass losers... Children are trying to make sense of the world, so by definition they're in chaos a little bit.
When you have our institutions teaching and normalizing chaos, when they are offering chaos, when there's nothing to moor into, when truth is that relevant and truth is basically an inner feeling for every individual that ever existed, you are going to further confuse the already confused.
And then you have people out there who are already a little bit off kilter or a lot off kilter.
And all they have is more chaos to turn to, whether it's on TikTok or in schools or in our institutions.
What do you think is going to happen?
How do you think you're not surprised by this?
Right.
There's nothing for them to hold on to.
And they will say, well, people warned about that.
Psychologists who study this had been warning about this gender ideology.
Yeah.
It's the fucking creepiest, most grim thing.
Do they not see that as a problem that they should try and help fix?
Yeah, and I know what they're going to say. They're gonna say yeah, but most of them are not violent
This is a sick. Well, hold on a second. Unless you count the violence against ourselves. Yeah cutting etc. It's the
fucking most
Grim thing do they not see that as a problem that they should try and help it
Oh, it's like when you talk about guns and people like yeah, if you forget about the suicides like that's not a fucking
problem, too Yeah, maybe we should not forget about the suicides.
Yeah, maybe we shouldn't.
Maybe we should consider why trans individuals do have a higher risk of dying by suicide or of self-harm.
In this, he's basically saying, listen, you know, kids, they have a lot of things they're learning, and instead of confusing them, how about we just tell them comfortable lies?
That's a better idea.
Just comfortable lies, so they don't feel weird, and I don't feel weird when describing to them about- No one should feel weird, because I've got work in the morning.
Yeah, I've got too much shit to do.
I don't want to deal with my fucking kids.
Yeah, they say that this is confusing that the opposite of addressing the confusion failed to see the parallel of Not addressing the confusion properly is the self-harm and the suicide Yeah, like you're describing the reason why the people self-harm.
And their solution to that is... Let them keep doing it because I got kids that I have to explain shit to.
Exactly.
And at the end of the day, maybe you need to be better at explaining shit to your fucking kids.
Like, the number of people who are like, what am I going to tell my kids when they see a gay couple?
This is not the last time that we could bring that up as an example of how we've progressed as a society.
Steven saw Goku at a convention and went out the fire exit so that his two-year-old children wouldn't have to reconcile with an anime character.
So I'm not sure that he's like, yeah, he talked about this on the show.
It was a couple of weeks ago.
I don't remember that being about anime.
He went to a convention and pushed the fire alarm when we were talking about it.
Oh yeah.
So I forget about our show.
I don't think you... I don't pay enough attention.
You gotta show up and go.
So just to say, like, Stephen's uncomfortable.
It's not even something that you have to explain to a two-year-old.
Like, he's got really young children.
And so if they're like, oh, that's confusing to see, because I'm a new thing that's out in the world,
and like, that's a very colorful individual that I'm in front of, I guess.
It's like, yes, welcome to the fucking public, my sweet child.
Let's just move away from this without committing any kind of like, uh, work for the fire department to show up at a convention center.
So I'm not sure that he's actually going to be the one to be able to have that conversation when his children are even able to like put those types of pieces together about, you know, the world around me is actually not what you say it is, dad.
Demonizing a group, I feel like is harder to explain to a kid.
I mean, unless you are looking for an entire destruction of an ideology.
Well, I think at the end of the day, it's easier to tell kids, hey, listen, these are the rules we live by, and to enforce those by demonizing people, I think.
If you're a white nationalist that believes that gay people and trans people aren't real and you would prefer to live in a compound in Idaho by yourself.
That's true.
Yeah, I do.
I'm not gonna say that that's what he wants, but that's kind of the direction he's leaning.
Can I say that the... I don't know why the hairs on the back of my fucking neck just stood up.
I'm sorry about that honest conversation.
Can't have one with you, Steven.
Yeah, Steve's about to have one.
We'll probably have to hit the YouTube dump button.
I'd recommend you guys go to Rumble.
We need to be able to have an honest conversation.
I know that a lot of other conservatives, they gloss over it, but they still have to be YouTube friendly, not us.
Hey.
Hey.
You're a guy.
How mentally unhealthy would you have to be?
I want you to think of this, because you'll probably get sick to your stomach.
For you to go to a doctor, to look at your penis, and to have someone cut it off.
I'm not talking in the abstract.
How far around the bend do you think you would have to be to do that?
Think of that action.
That's incredibly severe.
Same thing if you're a woman.
To look at your vagina and go and request that a doctor sew it up like a Helena Bonham Carter character in a Tim Burton animated film.
Sew it up.
Suture it up.
and turn it into something non-functioning for the rest of your life because you are so convinced
that you were born into the wrong body. Why are you convinced? There's no scientific evidence. None.
None whatsoever. But people have told you that you are right. How
mentally unhealthy would you have to be to do that?
So how bad do you have to feel to want to have that level of gender-affirming care?
I mean like does he does he understand like the true pain of gender dysphoria potentially?
No I don't think so but then also I think that if you were to explain it to him he would still try to say that like well there it is right there it's a it's a mental illness and it's like how It's not, just because two words exist in the same sentence doesn't mean that it's that.
It's just sort of, uh, how does the DSM?
It no longer categorizes transgenderism as part of the DSM-IV, does it?
Or DSM-V?
I don't know.
This is just something I saw from like the Trevor Project, right?
Is that it was saying that like, uh, gender dysphoria is not mental illness, but gender dysphoria can lead to mental illness.
Yeah.
Right.
So it's recognized as a mental illness in the DSM, but that's if they were having clinically significant dysphoria around the incongruence disorder, meaning functionally impaired by it.
But this makes it possible to diagnose and treat with gender affirming care.
Pardon me if that's not the most current, but that's what it was at least.
So that's probably as close as we can get it to like... It discusses the distress impairment related to the gender incongruence, which...
I just can't understand why this fucking matters to him, man.
No, I don't know why either, but scientifically there's no evidence of this.
Kind of the same way that you can't scientifically prove something that someone is experiencing mentally.
Yeah, you can't be like, oh, I saw your pain flashers going off.
The DSM, even early, I think up to like the DSM-III homosexuality was a mental illness.
Sure, yeah.
And in Stephen's perfect world, I feel like that's where it would have stayed.
At the end of the day, it doesn't matter what the fuck someone wants to do with their body.
I don't have any tattoos.
Do you know how I feel about people who do?
Indifference.
Yeah, yeah.
I don't give a shit, you know what I mean?
Yeah.
If somebody wanted to cut off their penis, you know how I feel about that?
None of my business.
I don't care.
It's not my body!
Why have any control over it?
I could feel supportive though, if it would make their life better.
This is showing Stephen's understanding of being a man that somehow, for some reason, having a penis is part of being a man mentally, which it's not.
But also, why the fuck does what someone does with their body matter to you?
You know, Stephen lifts a bunch of weights and he gets big muscles, and I don't do that.
Should I be upset with him for tearing his muscles to make them bigger?
It's something to consider.
We don't want to gloss over the idea of mental health, like, oh, people shouldn't be stigmatized for mental health.
We've talked about this.
Men are immediately stigmatized for mental health anytime there's a divorce, anytime they are going to be publicly shamed or canceled for the wrong type of opinion.
It's always weaponized.
We gloss over mental health and we ignore this giant black dot of, hey, is there something, is there any place that we can agree upon in mental, oh, An abnormally high suicide rate.
An abnormally high rate of violence against oneself.
What could the reason for that be?
Oh my god, you guys, I'm sorry.
My nose is starting to bleed.
Oh no, what's going on?
It's like I can hear this like... Do you guys hear this?
It's like a siren.
There's like a siren coming up.
Weeeeee.
Weeeeee.
Do you guys hear this?
What is it?
Oh my god, just... Byron, play the next clip.
Maybe we went too far with the white privilege rhetoric.
Not only have we put it in our curriculums, but we have been othering white people.
And I mean that.
White people.
I mean it.
When you say, oh, racism... No, no.
We have been othering white people, making it acceptable to treat them subhumanly.
We say this is something that you have not earned, right Megan Rapinoe?
This is something that you have not earned and you are exerting power over someone else.
You are oppressing someone else and that needs to be corrected.
This is what is being taught.
It is cultural Marxism and you would think that if we had this manifesto, if the legacy media wasn't so entrenched and big tech and conservative media had the balls that they needed to have to fight back, He will say, okay, maybe that's gone too far.
We need a court.
Course corrections can't occur anymore because the truth is not only made unavailable,
it is banned as a matter of policy in a back room with a meeting of five to ten people.
Jared, are you okay?
Everything's going dark over here, you guys.
Okay.
What are you guys?
Who's coming out of the shadows?
Oh my god, is this him?
Is this divorce, Steven?
Oh my god!
This is all about him.
This is Steven's anxiety.
White male anxiety doesn't matter.
Just taking a quick opportunity to say that, of course.
Don't look directly into it.
Yeah, that's what that siren was.
Divorce alarm's going off!
It's so funny to me.
He thinks that being a man, having an opinion as a man, is the bad thing.
Yeah.
Because he doesn't want to admit that he just has shitty opinions.
He's blaming them on the fact that he's a man.
He doesn't want to say, people hate me because of my bad opinions.
He wants to say, I'm a man and people hate my opinions.
As a man.
As a man, not as a guy with dumb opinions.
What is this truth that he thinks is unavailable, not just unavailable, but banned?
Banned.
Uh, I think it's... He really doesn't want trans people to be real.
He doesn't.
Yeah, yeah, no.
And I think that what he wants is, um, if you want to be a bigot, society legally has to allow you.
That's his truth.
But other people's truth is irrelevant.
Yeah, yeah, for sure.
And he would say there's only one truth.
Uh-huh.
They have said that, and it is... It's definitely the bigger one.
I'm pointing up.
Oh, up to the G. We also do a little bit too much with, uh, with...
With the anxiety issues now.
Oh yeah, you have social anxiety?
It's called growing up.
Not everything is clinical anxiety.
And you know what?
You probably should be anxious if you're about to commit a heinous act.
Right, exactly.
Meet Lucifer.
It might be ten minutes I was implying that this person was going to hell.
But I don't know.
I'm not Jesus Christ.
Life is hard, honestly.
What is he saying?
What is he saying?
I don't know what he's saying, but I think he's trying to say that, uh, anxiety is just weakness?
Leaving the body.
That's pain.
Ah, shit.
Yeah, sorry.
And of course this is someone who is deranged because, you know, this is someone who themselves is trans, queer, non-binary, hates people of white privilege, people of faith, and also calls them faggots.
The point is, none of these rules make sense anymore but this is someone who I'm willing to
bet we have the manifesto now which they buried hey what warning signs were
being buried because people were too afraid to speak out yeah so I think it's
also important to mention kind of the inconsistencies in the way that Hale
was writing the manifesto that could lead people to believe I'm like like I
pointed out earlier there's no true motive because it's a pretty
apparent display of mental illness yeah
So for him to zoom in on these three instances, he's creating his own motive for the shooting.
And yeah, but you know, like he's making the rules, but none of the rules make sense anymore, Byron.
Well, what do we, what do we do with warning signs though?
Uh, get people help.
Yeah.
Like, does he think we do something different?
Does he think that it's like, Well, if you're trans, they just tell you to be more trans.
Okay, okay, cool, cool, cool, cool.
And, you know, kind of follow your heart.
Like, what if wearing a leather holster was a warning sign?
I think it might be!
Like, would we have to, uh, what would we do for Steven?
Hmm, interesting.
It's so silly to me to think that when you recognize a warning sign, and there's all sorts of warning signs, warning signs can be different for you.
You know, warning signs are your own little believies about what causes crimes.
And if you establish a bunch of warning signs as society and say, someone's trans, that's a warning sign.
Let me call the crime police, the National Police Association to come take care of this.
Warning signs are not as simple as like, hey, we recognize this warning sign and prevent it a mass shooting.
Great.
Hey, it's not that simple.
You're eight times more likely to die by suicide if you are a gun owner.
Okay, so Stephen's a gun owner.
Huh, interesting.
How many guns does he own?
That's a great point.
Do we times it?
For every gun, it's eight times more?
He's got one in every room of the house, so it's like you don't gotta go far if you need it.
Just as the classic phrase, you can't see the forest for the trees, right?
Warning signs are the trees.
Are you in a forest?
You don't fucking know.
You have to zoom out and see the whole picture.
Sometimes it'll be, you'll look back and reflect on what caused somebody to do something, but you never will look at somebody and be like, hey, let me, uh, let me read your journals.
Can I read all of your journals to see if you're going to commit a mass shooting?
Like what's your fucking solution?
I don't know what his solution is.
There isn't one.
Yeah.
Right now, you go in, the left wants you to not be able to buy a firearm if you go in and say that the 2020 election was definitely stolen and that Donald Trump is still the current sitting president of the United States and should reinstate himself as quickly as possible.
They will take you and say, oh, no, no, no, no, hold on, that's extremist MAGA rhetoric, we can't give this person a gun.
But we can't look at somebody who has enough of a mental disorder, like you said, and I'm calling it that.
I'm sorry.
You could just, you dump it if we're not on there, whatever.
Enough of a mental disorder to think that they are a woman trapped in a man's body or vice versa.
We're not willing to say maybe that person shouldn't be given a firearm right now.
Maybe they should go through some extra scrutiny.
If there are going to be red flag laws like that, and I'm not for them, but if there's going to be any time for us to say a mentally unfit person should maybe have some extra scrutiny before they are given firearms.
This would qualify?
Is there any other group that would present so clearly?
There's groups that present so much more clearly as being at risk of firearm violence.
What?
I don't really think that we should be doing these mental health checks, but if we were gonna do mental health checks, then it should probably be trans people that get the most mental health checks because... Not delusional potential insurrections.
Who else would actually need this?
It's very fucking stupid.
That is just the most shoe bottom fucking response to this like that.
Okay.
We've, we've been here for a fucking two hours, Gerald, and that's how you're going to waste my fucking time at the end of this.
Who actually needs this?
But trans people, it's not people, you know, that there aren't mental health incidences in all groups.
As we were saying earlier, it's just shut the fuck up, Gerald.
Just, I just have one quick question before we move on.
Uh, is there any record of someone being denied a firearm purchase because they were.
I don't know what that is.
I think that maybe he... Like a MAGA supporter?
He probably saw someone tweet that.
Yeah, probably like someone who's like a convicted felon because of it.
No, I think that he's restating a belief of someone on the left saying that if a MAGA supporter believes that the election was stolen that they shouldn't be able to get a gun.
Maybe someone said that.
I don't know.
I could look it up.
Yeah, probably somebody did say that, you know, and it's like, that's why that person's not making any kind of decision for the rest of us.
But also we know that they see TikToks and they think that that person speaks for the entirety of the left movement, right?
On anything they see.
So, you know, doesn't move past where they normally are.
No it doesn't.
Moving on though.
We see it right here from their own writing.
My anxiety.
So gender dysphoria used to be seen, DSM-IV, as an actual mental disorder.
I know we have to dump a bunch on YouTube, but this is according to the DSM-IV.
They then changed it so that gender dysphoria was one of the symptoms Not the actual disorder, a symptom associated with someone who was transgender.
Same thing, someone has anxiety.
In other words, if they were a normal person, you'd go, wait, this person is manic depressive, this person has serious anxiety, this person has OCD.
They say, no, no, wait, that's actually, those are symptoms associated with the mistreatment.
From society, due to them being transgender.
So these aren't comorbidities.
With anyone else, anyone else would be, hey, I think this person has depression, they're on a drug for this.
This person may actually have schizophrenia, they're on a mood stabilizer for this.
You go, okay, you add this up, these are, you know, the totality is severe.
But you slap transgenderism on it.
No, no.
These aren't comorbidities.
These are symptoms because of a mistreatment.
Ah, that's what it is.
It's because of us.
It's because we're mistreating them that they think they're a man.
It's because of you white, privileged, patriarchal sons of bitches.
And that perpetuates the cycle for people like this.
It's because we're mistreating them that they think they're a man.
I think he's got the order kind of fucked up.
But it almost is correct, right?
He actually betrays his own premise by saying this because...
What he's done, essentially, is admit him speaking out about this, like in an episode like this, is to put a perspective on these type of people, right?
Like on trans people in general.
I don't know.
It just goes against everything that he just spent the last fucking hour talking about.
You know that this is white privilege, this is white supremacy, but then just to completely like shit on that and say, well, this is exactly what we stand to do here is like call out this trans person.
So forget the last hour of my content.
This is all it is.
When do you think the DSM-5, the follow-up text to the DSM-4, when do you think the work on that began?
What would you guess?
Like how far back does the belief of this, that transgenderism is a mental illness, how far back do you think that went?
2013, 10 years.
10 years, 2013.
I'd say 98.
You're really close.
It was 99, Dennis.
That's how out of date his beliefs are about transgenderism being a mental illness.
I also just kind of feel like sometimes things get changed as people understand them better.
Yeah, as you better understand the cause of someone's distress could be, you know, based around the treatment that they're receiving?
Yeah, and also mental health is not quite like I can study it under a microscope.
No.
Like, and so it's you can't just It's not that fucking easy.
It's not that simple.
There are other actions before we get to the point of shooting people.
And if you want to look at the group of people who have been vilified and othered to the point of justifying violence against them, I can't think of any group in my lifetime that would qualify more than modern American white men, according to what you're seeing here.
I guess all modern American white men are transphobic.
Is that what you're saying?
Yeah, I mean, you didn't know that you're transphobic?
I was unaware that I was transphobic.
He thinks that half of America feels the same way that he does so I would leverage that at least half of all men ever are transphobic.
I think what I loved about this clip really quick Drag Queen Story Hour, they wanna ban our free speech.
He doesn't.
So quickly went from like, ban this, but not my speech.
Yeah, he does that all the time.
Speech for me, but not for thee.
Not for thee, yeah.
And big tech is continuing to be the target of a lot of this.
Dude, big tech's the fuckin' worst, dude.
Honestly, it fuckin' sucks.
It sucks, dude.
Follow us on X. On X at Dan Crowder.
At Dan Crowder.
They ran out of steam with this three-page manifesto.
It's surprising they went as long as they did, but.
Yeah.
It's time to talk about how they got it.
Yeah, how did they get it?
It's pretty hard for me to be inconspicuous.
A little bit.
And do the undercover stuff.
Yeah.
Um, they met with the source, the source originally, right, who gave them the manifesto, leaked it to them, to review the original text message, which included these photos of the manifesto, okay?
Then this team, this undercover unit here, they read through texts, verifying the chain of events from the insider, that they also had a Nashville PD, as well as our own source.
Then they reverse-searched the phone number We had to reverse image search, verifying that the leads were correct, as well as cross-referencing it with the Nashville PD insider.
There was a lot that had to go into this.
We wanted to do our due diligence, because we've seen other people go out there flat-footed.
And just, there are some people who don't care at all, they just want clicks.
And then there are some people who don't want to touch something, it's like hot potato.
When we get something like this that sort of, I wouldn't say falls into our hands, but we've been chasing down, then finally we think we are close, that's where people make some missteps.
So it took a lot of work.
We're hoping that this opens the floodgates.
We are already taking other potential leads.
As it relates to the remainder of the manifesto or journal entries, because we know that there is more.
And just so you know, if you are out there, we protect our sources here at Mug Club.
We will go to jail to do so.
So you can reach out with any information.
You will be protected.
You will be kept anonymous.
LWCTipsAtProtonMail.com.
We're working on some other leads right now that are pretty shocking, too.
I told you yesterday, hey, You'd be shocked.
It's interesting.
Dennis's eye roll wasn't audible, but I felt it.
Fuckin' A, man.
Went right through me.
Okay, let's start with... We'll go to jail for you.
That's really funny.
Yeah, just like Trump will pay legal, or Elon Musk will pay legal fees for fired ex-employees.
I actually think that Steven might, I mean, I think he would do it, but purely as like a martyr move.
Yeah, but also, folks, don't go to jail for Steven.
No.
What was the understanding?
So they got like screenshots of a text and then they reversed image searched the screenshots or they reverse searched a phone number?
So that's the confusing thing.
Either way, they most certainly just flew in to talk to the source and look at his phone.
And then they reverse searched a number which you can do for like 15 bucks online.
Oh fuck.
They did less work than they would have had to do to get reservations at Hattie B's while they were in Nashville.
What's a Hattie B's?
It's a famous restaurant.
I feel like the reservation... Nashville Hot Chicken.
Yeah, it would probably be more difficult to get a spot there than it would be to have verified this information.
Well, I mean, it's hard, man.
Google's hard.
Google's not hard.
They got that web page now that just does reservations.
That's pretty slick, right?
That's technology.
I think that Steven would hate something like that.
Well, and look, let me just be clear, too.
Your story will reach the masses as well.
We were talking about the numbers watching the show right now.
We're number one trend on Twitter right now, so keep that going.
It's not just about getting the information to somebody.
It's about getting the information to someone who can get it out.
We have become the media, and I collectively use the we, our network, obviously, and Rumble.
We have become the media that will not cover stories like this.
If they cover this today, I guarantee you, I'd be willing to bet That they cover it very quickly, like, ah, this is released, and probably try and say that we did something wrong by releasing it.
We have become the media that will not cover stories like this.
Wait, what?
So, so... He means the antonym.
Okay.
Yep.
Gerald's just 0 for 3 today.
Striking out.
It's fine.
Yeah, it's not.
We probably are not the first people who tried to track... this person probably tried to reach out to.
We did some chasing, tracking down.
I'd be willing to bet that the big places out there, the big networks with the resources, and eight times the staff that we have, could have gotten their hands on this.
Could have gotten their hands on this.
They want someone else to jump in first.
Like the first dip in the pool of the season.
And then you're just in there, with nipples that could cut glass, by yourself.
Does the pool get warmer when more people get in it?
Usually.
Wait, it actually might.
Yeah, if you're... We need to get Jamie Heinemann and Adam Savage.
We need to get someone undercover, okay, at the pool.
No, I think what's funny is he said that somebody reached out to them with this.
He assumes that this person reached out to other news networks or media sources.
I think he said that It sounded like anyone would be lucky to have this story, but that they have to be the ones to break it.
Can I just hear the very beginning of that clip again?
Just the very beginning, right at the beginning.
We probably are not the first people who tried to track, this person probably tried to reach out to.
We did some chasing, tracking down.
Yeah, we are probably not the first person, or the first people that this person tried to reach out to.
Yeah.
That implies that this person reached out to them.
Yeah.
To me.
Via ProtonMail.
Yeah, which means that they didn't do any undercover at all.
No, they just went and ate hot chicken.
They went and ate hot chicken?
Yeah.
Someone said, hey, I got this text you might like, and then they went and got chicken.
No, no, and I agree.
This goes back to our journalistic integrity conversation.
Yeah, I'm not surprised that this member of the Nashville PD, which I'm assuming it is, tried to reach out to some people and they were like, we don't need this manifesto.
It's unnecessary to be, as a legitimate news source, publishing this kind of stuff.
It's apparent that you have a bias and that you're reasoning behind getting this out is yeah, of course, so
they're either too scared or They care about the integrity of journalism, which is it
probably just good He does say that it it did come from the cop in that
interview the follow-up interview on the Fox local affiliates in Nashville
Yeah.
Gerald, of course, takes this opportunity to make it clear where he stands on what the solution to these kinds of events would be.
I'm ready for it.
police associations, people who've been in the military, a lot of public officials have given
them throughout the years and have armed people at the school, whether that's somebody who's got
their concealed carry, whether that's somebody who has specialized training at the school so
that the bad guys don't know who to look for, like this could have been stopped. This isn't
a money grab for us.
This is funding what we do.
I'm not saying, hey, I want to see more of these shirts out there because I'm looking for dollar-dollar bills.
I'm looking to do more of this.
I'm looking to change what's going on in our culture.
Not just talk about it for three decades and then ride off into the sunset.
I don't want that.
I don't want my life's work to be, well, we got clicks.
That's not it.
It's we want change.
You want change.
That's why you're here.
But let your freak flag fly.
If you have one of these shirts right now and you're not wearing it because you're like, I don't want to... Those people aren't your friends anyway.
Holy shit.
Let it fly, man.
Go out there and be who you are and affect change in your community and make people ask you, why are you pro-gun?
So that you can explain it to them.
Yeah.
I think, Gerald, you're starting to see what happens in the price we all pay when you don't let your freak flag fly.
Gotta let your freak flag fly.
Freak flag fly.
Freak flag fly?
Freak flag fly?
Gotta let your freak flag fly.
You don't let the freaks out.
Who's gonna let the freaks out?
I like this idea.
He wants, like, secret armed people.
Like special agent teachers.
Remember, um, Never Been Kissed?
Uh, yeah, with George Barrymore.
How about Never Been Shot in a Mass Shooting?
We could have, like, a secret, like, a 45-year-old cop pretending to be a 14-year-old teen who's just ready to end a mass shooting.
Just in case.
But on a more serious note... Steve Buscemi.
Steve Buscemi.
With that skateboard, but he's got an AR-15.
Hello, fellow Crowderheads.
So, on a more serious note, when people have guns in those situations, it doesn't help.
For one, they happen way too fast.
But also, look at... I'm sorry to use the cool coined name for the shooter, but look at the Uvalde shooting.
Where did that come from?
Yeah, where did that happen?
That's a weird word.
But look at that shooting.
The police were there for like 76 minutes?
Matt McConaughey came up with it.
Probably, yeah.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
76 fucking minutes.
And all those people had guns.
Tons of guns.
I guess they're saying, I mean, and with this shooting, the shooter was shot by two police
officers.
So instead of, you know, the police were there for like a week or so, and then they were
like, oh, we're going to have to do this.
So they were like, oh, we're going to have to do this.
So there's room for security.
Instead of supporting transgender people who have mental illness through treatments, you know, intervention like that, that they would rather them just have a chance encounter with a fake teen with a gun.
Just rile them up and put someone with a gun to stop them.
Like, how is that a solution?
It's not, right?
I don't think so.
Yeah, but I'm pro gun change my mind.
That's the shirt that Jerold was wearing.
Oh good good good.
I was just trying to like say this is like every once in a while like when we're we're talking and I'm kind of just shooting from the hip and But I'm realizing like in the middle of my sentence that there's like, oh, there's actually like three doorways you could go down here right now.
Like, which point do you want to make?
You know what I mean?
And sometimes I can get like, you know, like I end up stepping on my, uh, my own premise every once in a while.
Of course, the static dipshitter.
Yeah.
Yeah.
It's sometimes it's hard to like keep a steady train of thought.
But what I was thinking is probably, there you go.
That's a great one.
And what I was thinking, though, is I could maybe just start trying to pull from the Gerald School of Thought here, and it's if you just are going off and you're saying some stupid bullshit, you kind of just turn to the right and start pitching your fucking t-shirts.
Yeah, let's just sell some shirts.
Which is why I'm announcing...
I don't know, it's a good move to get out of, I don't know what the fuck I'm talking about, but you guys see this shirt that I'm wearing?
$17.99 plus tax.
Oh I think it's probably more than that.
It's $40 easily.
You think so?
I bet it's $43 or something.
$35 t-shirt here.
Oh nice, that's a good deal.
You think so? I bet it's $43 or something. Alright $35 t-shirt here. Oh nice. It's a good deal. Yeah
What's it after shipping? Because if it's $43, I mean $37.99 for this t-shirt
Wow, thanks a lot, O'Biden.
Right?
Inflation.
I know, yeah, O'Bomber, dude.
Got more clips.
This sucks.
Steven gets really passionate about how he's not racist, and I do want to warn, I think I am leaving this in full context, so... Okay.
And I despise that!
I despise racism of any kind, just to be clear, because I don't believe that someone should be judged By an immutable characteristic.
You cannot, the left cannot, uncouple themselves.
They cannot divest, in the same way, from gender, ideology, or white privilege.
They cannot.
Hey, watch, watch.
No kid should be watching.
Fuck white supremacy.
Hey, you think that you're superior because you were born with blonde hair, blue eyes, you shaved your head, got a tattoo?
Really?
You're nothing, you p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-pussy.
Skinhead piece of shit.
Now, your turn left.
Right.
Do it with the white privilege ideologists.
Do it with the child mutilating gender ideologists.
Go.
White supremacists?
Faggots!
Your turn.
Felt good to yell that, I bet.
So if it's white supremacy, it's just skinheads.
It's not anything that he could be doing.
I'm not doing any of that white supremacy stuff.
I'm not, I hate racists.
Like, let's run back again, just as easily, last week's episode, 90 minutes of just Av, right?
I'm a jive talking black guy.
It's like, get the fuck out of here, dude.
You know, uh, Steven hates racists.
I guess he hates himself.
It's so dumb because what this implies is that racism is so, like, people wear shirts that say, I'm racist.
It's not that.
They don't.
They wear shirts that say, fight like hell instead.
Sure.
Yeah.
That's like assuming that white privilege is... The same thing.
That the desire of what we mean by white privilege is... To have that.
Yeah.
To get more.
Sure.
I want all white people to know that they're freaking demons.
Yeah, it just doesn't make any sense.
And I won't be denouncing that today.
Pussy thing I feel like that's from a film see right he's done that a couple of times
We've heard him say, but it does make me feel like it's uh.
I don't know some some search
that does change everything. Let's see.
Pussies.
It doesn't really matter.
Yeah, I have no idea.
This is not... It's not getting us anywhere.
I got papa pussy.
Spankbank.com.
Oh Eric Cartman, Jimmy says to Eric Cartman, what's the matter fellas?
Are you ninjas or p-p-p-p-p-pussies?
Cartman, we're twice the ninjas you I don't need to say that.
Listen, this goes back into my fucking South Park analogy with this fucking asshole.
Every time he's just pulling from, you know, he's a less talented version of one of these guys, one of these South Park guys.
I mean, that could be it right there.
It is.
That's definitely where he got that.
He doesn't know that, but that's where he got that from for sure.
Yeah, it's incepted.
But what's gonna happen after this?
We know what happened, and we'll probably talk about that kind of at the end, but they're really curious.
They have some feelings about how the media is gonna look at what they've done today, and I hope they feel good about it.
I think if the media covers us, they're gonna have blowback.
They shouldn't have done this.
The parents aren't for this, and look, I understand parents not being for this.
I get it.
It's a very difficult position for them to be in, but if we live in a world... I'm really not for shooting kids at a Christian school, though.
100%, and I'm for preventing the next group of parents from... Fuck the parents.
from suffering from this. But if we live in a world where the manifestos of these other
crimes are going to be out there, or at least the details, within 24 hours, so that you
can say there is a problem with white supremacy in this world, there's a problem with anti-Muslim
hate, the White House just put together a task force, or whatever the hell it was, for
Muslim hate, but not Jewish hate? Are you serious? I think the Jewish stuff, or the
Muslim stuff made up like 9% of the...
Okay, but we'll have time for that.
What are you still talking about?
Pretty much just fuck the parents, fuck their feelings, because he doesn't like Christian kids getting shot, and if the manifestos for everyone else are gonna be available within 24 hours, then this should be.
We've already debunked the release of manifestos myth that he's trying to perpetuate at this point.
There is no excuse for this behavior.
What if the police departments said, we're going to release the manifesto and did a countdown and sold shirts before?
Would that be more appropriate?
Support the cops?
Support the cops.
Yeah.
Support the NPA, man.
Yeah.
Yeah.
I mean, he said something to the extent of like most of the parents wanted it.
So it's like, well, yeah.
What is there one parent who's like on the fence about it or something like there?
Yeah.
I mean, I have a clip from a press conference following this with the parents that we could probably listen.
I haven't heard this yet, but.
Parents and families came together to prevent this exact moment from happening.
To prevent the re-victimizing of our children and prevent further trauma to our families.
Because we knew That these writings, these thoughts from the shooter were heinous.
We knew that they were evil.
Just today, I've received numerous phone calls from fellow parents, upset and afraid to even look online at the images that are going all across social media.
The damage done today is already significant.
And I'm worried it's only going to grow.
With the release of images of these disgusting writings, what have we learned?
Have we learned anything new?
Have we learned anything we didn't already know?
Did we not already know that this was a deeply disturbed individual?
He's disgusting.
He should have to face the parents and explain to them why he thinks that his ratings are more important than their feelings.
Didn't somebody else on his network have similar...
I'm not sure about that, but I want a little challenge to Steven here.
If Steven truly thinks that what he did is for the greater good, I want him to have some of the parents on his show to interview them.
If they want to do that.
Yeah.
Alex Jones offered the same thing, but after the Sandy Hook stuff and that was... Bingo.
Well, it's just the classic right-leaning stance that, you know, you don't know your life as well as I do.
Let me leave your life for you.
Let me make those decisions for you.
Let me decide whether or not you should have a dick.
Let me decide whether or not you should pray at school.
Let me decide whether or not you should... Decide how to mourn your children?
Exactly.
I mean, you know what?
If somebody says they're hurting, just fucking believe them, man.
This whole episode seems like it was about something that this could Sum it up, maybe it's a privilege.
It's a little privilege thing that he's trying to do here.
He's trying to flex his little privilege and he's trying to say he actually doesn't fucking have any.
I should be able to expose trans people's worst moments simply because they're trans and I am Steven Crowder.
This sort of seems like the entire Premise is an episode on privilege.
Seems like what it is.
Just a couple more things before we go.
Yeah.
You mentioned that in that news broadcast, that interview that he had with the Fox affiliate in Nashville, that he wouldn't explicitly say how many pages he actually had.
Right.
It seems like, like I said earlier, that they're just using what they have left as leverage.
They're kind of holding it hostage, saying that Well, if what we're saying isn't an accurate depiction of reality, then you release the manifesto.
If we don't have the goods, release the goods so that we can see it.
Yeah.
Prove it.
Otherwise... Silence.
Maybe shut up.
I just hear silence.
Or, I mean, maybe find something.
You can take me to the clink.
Take me to the clinic!
That's how you offer your wrist?
Yeah, take me to the clinic.
Look, and maybe he's pissed about it too and he's got to carry the water of the PR department.
I get it.
You have me.
I need your hands behind your back.
Call me to the mat!
I don't believe for a second that that guy doesn't know.
He may not know who I am, I don't care, but I guarantee you he can look at the document and say, oh yeah, that's the crazy transgender shooter manifesto.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Well, I guess it's out now.
Can we make like a special, you know, album art for this episode?
It's him saying, take me to the clink, but it's instead of prison Mike from Office, it's Steven instead of us.
What's his name?
Michael Scott So this is really interesting to me because they're implying that For some reason the people who they got this from don't actually have it Yeah, they're like show you you show us show us the goods.
You think we don't like I don't know They're assuming that the Nashville police are gonna take this as like a challenge Shots fired, but there's no challenge Well, they're saying that if this is out of context, then release it all.
Then prove the context?
Yeah.
I see what you're saying.
Yeah.
I'm just dumb.
Which, I guess it makes sense that they would present it out of order, though, then, right?
That's my working theory, is that the person who took these pictures, who obviously, I think it's grossly inappropriate for any law enforcement official to use their cell phone to take pictures of evidence to leak it.
Of course.
I think that's disgusting.
Assume it was malicious.
I assume it was selfish.
Oh, yeah.
Yeah, how else would it be like let me take out my personal cell phone snap this atrocious you know, just the the worst place this person has been yeah in their short life and Show my buddy Dan big chowder head.
He's he loves the show and And maybe he doesn't know that or anything like that, but the fact is that they got this shit.
Yeah, it's like it doesn't matter.
No, it's just that yeah, you're absolutely right.
This is it comes out of complete selfishness and you know belaboring a point that doesn't actually mean anything to that many people.
More importantly to the people who it matters most to.
Sure.
The families of the victims.
We got one more clip.
Go read the Old Testament.
Go with the New Testament for crying out.
Read any portions of the Bible.
I don't think you know what it is that you're reading.
You don't think there's a transcript in there that's at least as offensive as the manifesto of this psychotic Nashville shooter?
Oh, sorry, but again, if you're a Christian, you believe that it's written, it's the Word of God, right?
Through the hand of man, but it's the divine Word of God.
You know better How to be less offensive.
God's too crude.
Also, no dancing.
Come on, folks.
Let's just be real about this.
How else are we supposed to discuss the truth?
How else are we supposed to open people's eyes if we can't have our own open?
And that's another reason that Mug Club exists.
That's why we do what we do.
Yeah, we're selling subscriptions.
Nobody thinks that the words on the page are the most offensive part of that.
The words taken out of context.
Yeah.
You know, no one thinks single words by themselves are the problem.
It's like when people have a problem with profanity.
Sure.
The issue is always the message as they are assembled.
We could rewind to the word cracker, which he said he took no offense to, but is offended by what the meaning is.
Yeah, exactly.
He is offended by the word.
And here's the thing.
You're being racist against white people.
It's fine to be offended, right?
Yeah.
It's obviously okay to be offended, and Stephen's offended by a lot of this stuff too, right?
He won't say offended because he thinks it's a weakness or something.
Yeah, it makes him less of a man.
But at the end of the day, it's not the individual words on the page that matter, it's the fact that you took them, you leaked them, completely disrespecting the parents and the victims in this situation, and you did it all for personal gain.
Including at the end there.
And he editorialized what he thinks the true intentions of this were.
Yeah!
Which it's not as simple as it is.
It's just not that simple and to imply that it is, is just disrespecting your audience.
It's disrespecting everybody.
I think the parents just trying to heal.
Steven goes ahead and is like, hey listen, I know that you're having a hard time with this.
But Papa's gotta sell some shirts!
Yeah.
At the end of the day, Stephen got exactly what he wanted.
He was the focus of a major amount of media, mostly online, about this.
And most of the conservative radio shows and podcasts talked about this.
Even Ben Shapiro came out of his, you know, Stephen-hating cave following the attempts to slander and shame the Daily Wire.
And currently seven Nashville officers are on leave as an investigation of this leak is underway.
Stephen gets to be a martyr and he gets to keep saying that he'd go to jail to protect the anonymity of his source.
Wait, so you just said that there are people on administrative leave?
Yeah, seven people.
I didn't know that.
Yeah, that's I think that came out today or yesterday, but that's a pretty big deal.
There's an active investigation.
I wouldn't be surprised if police did show up at his door to investigate how much more of this information he does have.
Maybe this was his exit from his coverage of Israel.
He's like, we can't keep talking about being Islamophobic.
This has to be our new thing.
So I wouldn't be surprised if this is the narrative for the next few months.
This false oppression moment?
Yep, absolutely.
Yeah, he's gonna tell his listeners that he's protecting them.
The classic, you know, Trump protecting people from the bad liberals.
This is Stephen protecting you, the listener.
Stay strong for him.
He will protect you.
He'll go to the clink for you.
Yeah, exactly.
He'll go to the clink for you.
He's going straight to the clink.
And that's why I gotta say, folks, we'll go to the clink for you.
I won't!
It's about me either.
It really depends on what you did for me.
If you're experiencing a genocide for your people, I'd maybe go to jail for that.
Just do a little demo.
But if you're a cop and you're just sending bullshit out to be an asshole, I'm not going to jail for that.
I'm gonna call your boss.
I'm gonna get your fucking ass fired.
Quick.
Yeah, real quick.
Yeah, that's about all I can handle this week, folks.
If you disagree with us, fuck off, honestly.
Fuck off!
I was gonna say convince us otherwise, I don't know.
It's not even worth, you're not going to convince us otherwise on this one.
Convince yourself otherwise.
You can find us on X. Let's get this trending worldwide.
