	My name's Byron.
	I'm joined early this morning by Jared.
	Hey!
	And Dennis.
	I'm sleepy.
	Yeah.
	What time you guys go to bed?
	Like one.
	Yeah, around then.
	4 a.m.
	You just went to bed at 4 a.m.?
	Why didn't you just stay up?
	Because I needed five, six hours of sleep, and now I feel pretty good.
	Oh good, refreshed.
	So the timing he just gave is that it's 10 a.m., and we're all like, oh, we're so tired.
	No, it's 11 o'clock for me.
	He's outing us here.
	So yeah, I know this isn't the best way to start a show, by talking about how tired we are.
	Low energy.
	Low energy.
	Well, take it a note.
	Also, really annoying episode this week.
	Great.
	Yeah, we're covering January 29th, 2024, an episode of Louder with Crowder, of course.
	Belt up, folks, because we're getting into Stephen's thoughts on a poorly translated speech that went pretty viral in conservative circles.
	Bigotry and wild ongoing harassment and lies that are attached.
	Doesn't sound like Stephen.
	Big surprise, it is.
	Porn Corner returns.
	What's Porn Corner?
	Who do you like talking about porn?
	Okay.
	Nice.
	Porner's better.
	Thanks for the punch up.
	Porn Corner returns with Twitter and the White House responding to Taylor Swift AI porn.
	Schwing!
	Come on, man.
	Alright, sorry.
	And then there's the pedophiles.
	But first, we got ourselves another parody.
	Oh, great.
	Based on an alt-rock hit from 2005.
	from 2005. It's a rewind.
	I think you've got a confession to make. You're fake.
	You are fake.
	Well Trump was making America great. Well, we're not.
	So, nice, right?
	Yeah.
	Is Dave Grohl's, like, not too bad, huh?
	Honestly, that's his best impression of an artist I've heard so far.
	Of David Grohl?
	So far, yeah.
	Yeah, yeah.
	So, of course, that's The Foo Fighters' Best of You from September 15th, 2020 is when Steven put this out.
	Aggressive, but still, yeah, boring start.
	It looks a lot better than the parodies that he's done recently.
	It looks better?
	Yeah, visually.
	Does it, yeah?
	I think the production is... Pretty high energy compared to his low energy stuff now?
	Yeah, so I think we should... Well, maybe not the people in frame, but...
	Like the guy, the guy who looks like an uncanny version of Matt Walsh playing the drums.
	On the drums, hitting the skins back there.
	And he's just kind of like, I don't know, like a gif, like raising his hands and putting them down.
	Let's feast on this a little bit.
	See, I mean it sounds a little bit better than...
	It sounds better but...
	Nah, you can't hit the notes though.
	No, no, there's no bass in his voice either.
	Your nursing home COVID deaths, a little sketchy.
	Have got you blue, yeah.
	But think you can take four more years of this abuse.
	right in there. He did a good job with that. I can't really knock him too hard for the
	delivery on this. It's just not good.
	No, it's terrible. But cool though because there's jets flying over, ripping through
	like American flags.
	Is there?
	Yeah, stuff like that.
	You know, I think what I hate most about this one is that he just went with the best still.
	Yeah, it's still the best of you.
	He should have done something.
	He should have done rest.
	You know, you're forgetting about the rest.
	The rest.
	Something like that.
	Of us?
	I don't know.
	Well, we're not done because there's a featured performer on this track that we have not heard from yet.
	Oh shit, who is it?
	Are you ready to lose again?
	It's President Trump.
	Oops.
	You can try to resist, but you will lose.
	My terms are sort of like Twix, my friends.
	That's the most offensive thing I've ever heard Steven say.
	Singing in the style of Donald Trump?
	All of it is just offensive.
	It's pretty bad.
	Are you ready to lose again when Biden poops?
	Is that what he said?
	Yeah, that's what he said.
	Goddammit, that's so stupid.
	His terms are sort of like Twix.
	They come in twos.
	It's like, you know, Trump, he got the best of us.
	Sure.
	What do you think, like, when they were writing that, do you think that they were just, like, completely stoned and that's why it felt funny?
	Or were they just... No, I don't think they do, I mean, other than popping perks and stuff like that, which is, what was he, what was he taking?
	I don't want to defame Steven Crowder, of course.
	Yeah, Crowdy was doing, uh, perks.
	Allegedly.
	Yeah.
	That's what we heard.
	Okay.
	Enough with, uh, enough, wait, what?
	Trump, you know, he got the best of us, but Steven, His Trump impression maybe got the best of him.
	Okay, enough of the goofs and gaffs, boys.
	It's time to get serious.
	I'm not cutting that, Jared.
	That's staying in.
	Picking up with a promise that we made on last week's episode.
	Before we get to anything today, I need to update you.
	We told you this on Friday.
	The well-teased updates regarding the Pedophiles Mug Club undercover investigation.
	We didn't really get into it, but... Thanks to Mug Club, you know, last Tuesday we revealed How an executive at BlackRock may have had her email connected to a child exploitation site.
	Definitely this email was connected, and we had a response from those lawyers.
	We followed up on that, but for a very brief recap, here you go.
	A website designed for the explicit purpose... Yeah, we got no need for that.
	Also, I do want to apologize, everyone.
	At the beginning of last week's episode, I said I was gonna beep the name of Blackrock, and I did.
	And then I immediately started playing other clips where they mentioned Blackrock.
	So I do recognize that I did that.
	What was really interesting about this clip just now that I just noticed, he walked back his claim.
	Did you notice that?
	He said, I reported that an email may have been associated with this employee.
	May have been, okay.
	The email definitely was associated with the website, kind of a vibe.
	Yeah.
	He definitely walked it back as being directly tied to her.
	Yes, and in this little update, he doesn't really say anything more than an email address was used to create the account.
	Again, no verification of verification has been verified.
	And this email, I don't know if we went into this, it was loosely connected to a BlackRock employee via... I think I did mention this.
	I don't know if it was connected in any... I mean... I mean it wasn't really.
	There was a name associated and it was... Yeah, because they used high-level investigative tools here.
	Yeah, it's like when I set up an email with the name Fart McGuffins and the email was like...
	Why did I almost laugh at that?
	It is early.
	Someone could put any fucking name.
	Of course, yeah.
	The technology they use, Ben Verified, Truthfinder, Spokio, which I dug in a little bit more about that and Spokio specifically in their terms of service say that they aggregate publicly available information from phone books, social networks, marketing surveys, real estate listings, business websites, and other public sources.
	Nice.
	Which they call public information.
	Do you think somebody just like digitized the phone book?
	Like, this isn't new information, and it's certainly not binding.
	It's just, I mean, it's an email.
	Yeah.
	So you can type whatever you want into forms on the internet.
	Sure.
	In Spokio, they say here, do not verify public information.
	They do not evaluate each piece of information provided and make no guarantees that this is accurate, legitimate, or legal in any way.
	All these sites are probably fed by the same shit.
	Exactly.
	It's an aggregation.
	It's boring.
	It doesn't fucking matter.
	But the bottom line, it's just not reliable.
	I think it is, actually.
	Everyone on his YouTube comments said that it was a huge bust.
	You're on Steven's side there.
	So last Thursday, and I mentioned this on Instagram, BlackRock actually sent a very stern demand to Rumble, as well as our web hosting site and its vendors, to take down the video completely.
	So, to recap this, Muglove Undercover received a tip regarding a hacked database of a child exploitation site.
	Our team attempted to connect the email address from the database to true names, and one user, Hero121 at Mail.com, consistently pointed to Abigail Gold Geller.
	We asked Geller if she owned Hero121 at Mail.com.
	We were promptly contacted by the attorney, who said that that email was not associated with it.
	You can go back and see the entire saga.
	We have covered it.
	We have been accurate.
	As best as we can be, of course.
	And, you know, sometimes people make mistakes.
	We have not.
	I think they definitely did here.
	I mean, I have a feeling.
	You said he didn't, though.
	Yeah.
	But this mistake, intentionally calculated mistake, in my opinion, which I think is far bigger than he can handle.
	He's really digging a deep hole.
	I mean, we'll find out soon because, of course, I don't know.
	This is just the beginning of this conversation.
	This is his new yearly, like... This is his season arc.
	Yeah.
	This is such a dumb, dumb thing he did.
	But of course, he's trying to pass this victimhood feeling to his audience, because Big Scary Black Rock, which...
	They actually are kind of scary.
	Sure.
	They're not a good company, not great folk, but they're trying to undo Mug Clubber's support when, of course, it is Steven's fault because this is all intentional.
	But you want to see what consequences of recklessness sound like?
	Sure.
	Now they have requested to Rumble to have this removed and gone after all of our vendors to try and remove Well, I guess undo your support and ensure that you know, we cannot make a living.
	However, we always have to take ownership over our mistakes.
	And if there is a mistake that we've made, obviously legally there are ramifications.
	So our official response today to BlackRock is go fornicate yourself!
	Cool swear.
	That's so funny.
	Does he know he's allowed to swear?
	Uh, maybe it's a YouTube thing.
	YouTube doesn't allow you to swear in the first two minutes of a video or else it'll be demonetized, but he's already demonetized.
	Yeah, what does he care about?
	I don't know.
	He doesn't want to use YouTube's money, right?
	I guess not.
	It's also a PG-13 program, so.
	Yeah, yeah, that's for the kids.
	Kids gotta watch it.
	You could have said screw yourself.
	You could have.
	Go fornicate yourself sounds like what, like a, like a seventh grade boy would say to another seventh grade boy.
	Yeah.
	Because he's afraid of getting It's like saying like, f**k off or something.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	I didn't say that.
	I didn't swear.
	I didn't swear.
	I didn't.
	He kind of had me for a second.
	I don't know if I'm just like...
	Tom?
	I don't know.
	It's Monday morning.
	You gotta give yourself some credit.
	So he did a good job of like sounding like sad about it.
	It's probably the best performance he's ever done.
	Definitely better than that one shitty movie we watched.
	Sorry, that one.
	Shardy?
	Sure.
	Shitty.
	Yeah, it definitely was acted.
	I want him to post the entire lawyer's call, the letter.
	He like talked about how he got this letter.
	Post it.
	Well, half Asian bill better get paid up front because this is going to be bad.
	It's not going to go well.
	Uh, the gang needs that celebratory energy though, that marching band music today.
	Yeah, of course.
	They sent that with confetti and iMessage.
	Yeah.
	I got to keep that energy going because after Steve insisted to come in sick last week, which he's done in the past with COVID, things have spread dramatic.
	Number two, Captain Morgan with SARS.
	How are you?
	I'm doing better than I was Friday.
	Yeah, I know.
	It was a bit rough.
	I blame you, mostly.
	I absolutely- Patient zero.
	Yes, I was patient zero.
	And it's not even- but I'm telling you, the clear nasal spray and the Xylitol stuff, I was still doing shows.
	I felt like crap.
	Yeah, absolutely.
	But you sound- Are you feeling better now, though?
	And now a regular segment on our show.
	How's your health?
	Dude, start with health.
	We should do the same thing, honestly, because we don't always have much to say other than it's early.
	Yeah, we started with, uh, how'd you guys sleep?
	How'd you sleep?
	How many hours you get?
	That's fun.
	We'll start with that now.
	Really weird that he just takes no blame.
	I mean, he says he's patient zero.
	Did he say that he's taking xylitol?
	That's like that sugar-free gum shit.
	It's like a sugar replacement in, like, Trident that's, like, good for your teeth or whatever.
	Interesting.
	Is it good for your health?
	Is it, it takes your SARS away?
	I think that's what's in Dayquil maybe?
	What?
	Yeah, I don't know.
	Oh wait, nasal rescue.
	Xylitol.
	Nasal.
	So maybe they are doing inhalants, huh?
	This is absolutely... Alright.
	You remember when he was like, make sure my daughters see this.
	Yeah.
	Maybe he's feeling like he's on death's door with this cold.
	He does take things very seriously.
	Yeah, I don't know man.
	Well, we were wondering last week why Josh wasn't in the third seat.
	Well... Ooh, he's here now, he's a permanent fixture.
	We love him, we thank him for his service, and he's gonna be at Osage, or Osagie, I don't know, Casino, in Ponca City, Oklahoma.
	Could be Ponce, I have no idea.
	February 12th.
	The point is, he's going to be in Oklahoma February 12th, and you can follow him on all the profiles.
	Josh!
	17th!
	That doesn't even look like a 2!
	February 17th!
	February 17th.
	I didn't say 2nd.
	You said 12th!
	Did I?
	Twice!
	Twice.
	Thank you for your service, I apologize for the sick man.
	I wasn't gonna bring it up.
	So a little nitpick, and totally subconscious, but it's still telling.
	If Steven gave a shit about Josh or his dates, I really think that he would try to relay this information correctly.
	He's doing a huge disservice to a working individual in the entertainment.
	Wrong date, whatever, sorry.
	And he even mispronounced both the city and the venue.
	Take a second and figure it out.
	Yeah.
	Just take a second.
	For such a movie buff, right?
	Like you would have maybe thought that he would get... is he trying to say Osage?
	Osage.
	Like it's Japanese.
	I don't know if we talked about this, Dave Landau said that Steven stopped even promoting his stand-up dates in the later... that's Ahoy Guy, just so you know.
	Oh nice, I love Ahoy Guy.
	As long as he's saying the dates, things are going well, but I want you to keep your eyes and ears open for when he stops promoting Joss' shows.
	Sure.
	We should write some of these questions down.
	Things to keep in mind.
	Yeah, and then even the next day when Josh came back, Stephen didn't pronounce the city or venue correct again.
	Figure it out.
	Just figure it out.
	How hard is that?
	Well, this is a difficult show, Dennis.
	So far I feel like it's been Great.
	Jumping in to a topic all conservative commentators were discussing last week.
	I call it a sloppy nothing burger.
	Nice.
	Animal style.
	Nothing burger.
	With a side of unproven bigotry on Slow News Week.
	Are we doing our bigotry both grilled and raw?
	Very nice.
	I like it.
	All right.
	Okay.
	Let's move on.
	Ilhan Omar, to be clear.
	This is something that is disconcerting.
	First off, more to this concern, you know Ilhan Omar married slash banged her brother.
	So here you go, there's the marriage certificate and please, wherever you are, YouTube, put in the comments section, Ilhan Omar married her brother or Ilhan Omar banged her brother.
	We want that written as many times as possible for the algorithm because even Snopes said All right.
	But they just didn't want to investigate it.
	Post it on X right now, too.
	It happened.
	It's real.
	This is that person.
	It was a consummation there.
	Yes, exactly.
	Fully consummated.
	And she sounds like Rafiki.
	So.
	It's true.
	Hezbollah?
	ISIS?
	No.
	Yeah, this show, you know, it's only got two modes.
	It makes sense that he didn't get the Osage reference that's too new for him.
	So, of course, one, making reference to a 90s movie.
	Check.
	And two, airing of grievances against anyone who isn't a white cis woman.
	Not only because of the enormous jump he's just made from, you know, incestuous relationships to Disney cartoons, but for how Jordan Peterson might feel with Steven crowdering his lane.
	You know, weepy about this Rafiki voice here.
	Oh, I hate it.
	This is just the beginning.
	We don't, but it's an aggressive distraction that is also defamatory.
	It's bizarre that We'll just talk about it.
	Yeah, it's just a distraction.
	Of course it is.
	I mean how many times did he say banged her brother?
	Yeah.
	Not even, they haven't even discussed what the story is yet.
	Yeah, well it's because she is not born in the United States.
	She has brown skin, so she's obviously worth less than you and I. Yeah.
	So we should not worry about anything else.
	I guess before we jump into the story that they're discussing, since they brought it up, we should probably run down what they're talking about.
	You got that marriage certificate?
	I do, it's right here.
	This is me popping my knuckles.
	Are you guys ready to get a little slightly dumber?
	Let's do it.
	Nice.
	So 2002, Omar, her first husband, Ahmed Hirsi, they were religiously married and they had two kids.
	They got divorced in 2008.
	Then she was legally and religiously married to a man the conservatives say is her brother, Ahmed Nursed Elmi in 2009.
	And then we're looking at the marriage certificate for that marriage, right?
	Yeah, that's right.
	Which looks normal to me.
	Cartridge number 1002.
	Yeah.
	It's not as fancy as the ones I usually see.
	Is that right?
	Yeah, the ones I see are much fancier.
	Minnesota marriage certificates are lacking.
	Yeah.
	Three year age gap.
	She's cradle robbing, huh?
	A little bit.
	I don't see how this is any sort of evidence, but it is flashed on screen very, very quickly.
	Yeah, they show a certificate that just shows two people being married.
	Oh, it's because they live together, that's why.
	Yeah, but okay.
	Oh, interesting.
	Yeah, that's it, dude.
	Because obviously they wouldn't live together before marriage.
	No, no, no, that's disgusting.
	Are the bride and the groom related to each other by blood or adoptions?
	It is checked no.
	Yeah, but that's a lie, dude.
	Dude, that's a lie.
	That's a lie.
	There's the lie.
	That's the evidence.
	There's a no and then there's a picture of Ilhan Omar crossing her fingers while she checks the no.
	Right behind her back, Dennis.
	I didn't even notice that.
	Okay, Steven, you might have got us on this one.
	But they didn't stay married, right?
	No, no, no.
	So they divorced religiously, but not legally, in 2011.
	She and Hirsi reconcile in 2012, and they have a third child.
	And then Omar legally divorces Elmi in 2017, and then a year later remarries the first husband, Hirsi, legally.
	And they were never legally married before, right?
	Just religiously?
	Yeah, just religiously.
	So this is... So it's her second legal marriage, but third marriage.
	Third to her, yeah.
	Okay, gotcha.
	Two men and three babies, one lady, senator.
	That's a great show.
	Two men, one baby.
	And a senator.
	In 2012, Elmie allegedly made this post on Instagram holding the third child of Hirsi and Omar and it captioned, referring to a niece.
	This post was deleted.
	That's, wait, hold tight.
	I'm like Uncle Byron to a couple of my friend's kids.
	Like, why does that... Sure.
	Yeah.
	That doesn't... Exactly.
	But, so, did the post ever exist?
	Like, you say it was deleted.
	Was it truly, like, deleted, or what did it just... It was removed from his Instagram account, but because the accusers only deal in screenshots of screenshots, it's unknown if the original post in question actually existed.
	Or if it did, you know, was it unedited?
	Also, what if he just was trolling?
	Sure.
	Because I know that somebody on the right would troll like that.
	I doubt that.
	That's my least plausible reason as to why that would happen.
	This is just dumb.
	It's so dumb and it's about to get even dumber, right?
	Right.
	That probably fake bullshit combined with an investigation, a real investigation, that took place in 2019 to see if her campaign misused funds I'm sure that's just paperwork stuff, right?
	Finance Board determined that in 2014 and 2015, tax filings of Omar and Heersey
	joined filing their taxes when she was legally married to Elmi still. She
	corrected this and was continually pressed about Elmi's status, why he was
	filing from the same address as her and Heersey. I'm sure that's just paperwork
	stuff right? I mean I have no idea why that would happen.
	Not to gloss over it, she corrected this.
	Like, they brought it to her attention, she said, okay, here's the correct paperwork, and then everyone dusted their hands of it, it sounds like.
	It was also possible to load up TurboTax and be like, next, next, next, next.
	Yeah, if it was a simple return, just move forward.
	But I mean, I think the big scope of all this stuff is like, Why is this such a priority for people to worry about?
	She banged her brother.
	Oh, she did, okay.
	Okay, cool.
	She's trying to bang brothers, dude.
	Well, and her husband had no problem with that.
	Oh, it is, you're right, yeah, yeah.
	Well, they're stepbrothers, it's fine.
	So a lot of this brother rumor stuff resurfaced and intensified after the New York Post's Miranda Devine.
	That's a great name.
	An Australian journalist who has a history of promoting white gender.
	Why'd you say that slowly?
	Because of what I'm about to say.
	She promotes white genocide conspiracy theories, denies climate change, blaming conservationists for deadly brush fires, spread a rumor on Twitter after a video was posted of an indigenous boy with dwarfism crying after being bullied, saying it was an adult actor.
	Sounds like a funny video.
	Can I see it?
	I actually didn't pull it up, but I'll send it to you later.
	There's a handful of other things.
	She was a guest on Tucker Carlson where she claimed to have DNA evidence that Omar was actually married to her brother.
	Dope.
	Funny enough.
	Where is Tucker anyway?
	On Twitter.
	He's in Russia right now.
	Really?
	Yeah, he's in Russia.
	Interesting.
	He just got done doing an interview with Russell Brand is one of his most recent.
	He's trending pretty hot on Reddit right now.
	Is that right?
	Yeah, he's at like a theater with Putin basically.
	Well, uh, funny enough, Miranda Devine's partner in this investigation, Anthony Lazaro?
	He published the DNA results to his silly little website.
	What's he been up to?
	Well... Jared, you know what he's been up to, right?
	Yeah, um... Hanging out, uh... Like, in public, or...?
	No, no, he's... It's like... It's like a... It's... Dennis, I don't wanna... I don't wanna break this to you.
	It's like a private resort for people that, like, you do things wrong... Is it like...
	All-inclusive?
	Yeah, yeah.
	They do pay for your meals and boarding, for sure.
	Convicted.
	Sentenced.
	252 months plus 5 years supervised.
	Free release.
	Following.
	Whoa, whoa, whoa.
	Tony Lazaro?
	What did he do?
	Tony!
	Ugh!
	Yeah, this is a hard blow for the DNA industry.
	Yeah, he used a sugar daddy type website and recruited a 21 year old girl to find him as he described, well, broken girls that were between the ages of 14 and 16 to have sex with him for money and other items like alcohol, vapes, plan B's, and cell phones.
	Cool.
	Sounds like a stand-up guy.
	Trustworthy man.
	I do want to clarify, Anthony wasn't a DNA guy.
	He was the private investigator.
	And the creator of ilhanomardna.com.
	At least the report has their full names listed, right?
	Just give me one second, we'll jump into that.
	Tony did a several months long stakeout on Ilhan Omar at her house, and they collected trash, a bunch of different items.
	A lot of them are displayed on the website ilhanomardna.com.
	They submitted some DNA that was found to a place called Endeavor DNA Laboratories, which I went to their website, and I'm guessing that they did this $189 peace of mind sibling ship test, because sibling ship test was written at the top of this DNA document.
	It also says, what is this, informational use only?
	Okay.
	It displayed the probability of full sibling ship versus no relation as 99.9999998%.
	What they did is they tested a cigarette butt, allegedly of Ilhan Omar's, and a straw of her then husband.
	But yeah, I'm not so sure about this Endeavor DNA place.
	So, I have a question.
	Of course.
	Is it possible they just, I'm assuming that... Shared a cigarette?
	Shared a cigarette.
	Or is it possible that they tested just her DNA twice?
	Uh, well, the results are different, and they do display X, Y, and X chromosomes, but I'm not so sure about this company.
	I've got a handful of reviews.
	This is from Chelsea Morgan.
	Would not recommend this company at all.
	One star.
	They test DNA samples without making sure there is consent for each sample sent in, and when they find out that the samples do not have authorized consent, they do nothing about it.
	Cameron says, terrible place One Star.
	Never go here if you want accurate trustworthy results.
	They will withhold your medical information and results after giving you inaccurate results.
	Abby says, I did receive my results.
	I have a sun instead of it saying XY.
	It says X. I didn't even pay attention until someone pointed it out.
	One Star.
	Agatha says, DNA test results are fake, which almost destroyed my family.
	Made four people lose their nerves, money, and almost family ties.
	Do not test here.
	Matt says, fake results.
	Did one of me and my daughter and it said there was no relations.
	Got one done by a court and it showed she was my daughter 100%.
	Nice.
	Interesting.
	This whole thing, no real evidence this DNA test is, I don't know, worth even talking about?
	Sure.
	They still, however, are offering $1,000,000 if Ilhan will take a DNA test herself to prove that the facts of the website are not 100% authentic.
	Okay, you can't prove something doesn't happen, so I don't know what you're trying to say.
	Exactly, that's a great point that we have neglected to bring up as well.
	But they also want to throw in a Ferrari if she does it, which has a personalized license plate that says Ilhan DNA.
	Oh man, what a fucking joke.
	But, I don't know if you mentioned this in here, but... Are you looking at the results here?
	Yeah, yeah.
	Just that it's listed as sibling 1, sibling 2.
	I thought that was suspicious as well!
	I could do that with my family, and then just post it and be like, check it out.
	Well, but I think it's this number here, the likelihood ratio and the probability of full siblingship, but... No, I get that, but it doesn't matter if we don't know who the siblings are.
	Yes, like this could be a screenshot of two actual siblings.
	Oh, yeah, I could like what does this prove?
	Manufactured yeah, and the guy is a known sexual predator.
	Yeah.
	No, I mean, he's obviously he's a stand-up guy I don't expect him to lie.
	Yeah, but it's it I'm just saying like this this proves nothing Well, but and this is also from Miss Divine who did you know slander an indigenous dwarf?
	Yeah, but that's funny Hmm Yeah.
	So at worst, if we say that this is true, them repeating that she banged her brother is illogical, irrational, and... I don't know if you know this, but when you actually, if you try and like sneak somebody into the country, you have to fuck them in front of the... I didn't know that.
	You have to do that live.
	You have to live stream it.
	It's crazy.
	That's true, dude.
	That's strange.
	At worst, she committed immigration fraud.
	There is no evidence of that.
	Did you commit immigration fraud?
	Did I?
	Yeah.
	All the time.
	Okay, well, for them to have her prove a negative... Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course.
	Well, I mean, you just can't prove something didn't happen or didn't exist or whatever.
	And there's no evidence that she married her brother.
	No, there's not.
	Except for this one that says sibling 1 and sibling 2 are relative.
	And again, we keep glossing over the fact that she didn't go into the back room of America's immigration offices where they got that heart-shaped bed.
	I'm sorry, that's the vibrating bed.
	I gotta turn that off.
	Magic fingers.
	50 cents to operate.
	But beyond the incessant incest accusations, we need to talk about some Islamophobic misinformation, unfortunately.
	So this woman, this incestuous woman with a ticking pantsuit, she was speaking to a crowd of Somalis and she said that expanding Somali territory is her priority.
	As an incestuous congresswoman.
	So they snicker a bit at her accent and call her language silly.
	Josh was definitely on one this episode.
	He's said a lot of dumb shit this episode.
	I saw this somebody post like an argument on Facebook and somebody criticized the other person's English and they replied saying, I speak English because it's the only language you understand.
	Oh, yeah.
	Well, this was not directed towards English speakers at all.
	This was a goofy sounding language, I think.
	This was a speech that was held at an event at the Hyatt Hotel in downtown Minneapolis on January 27th to celebrate the recent election in a region of Somalia known as Putland.
	It's also a response to ongoing territorial disputes in Somalia.
	A right-wing translation went viral, even though it read kind of like a Babelfish translation.
	Perfect.
	People have the same blood.
	People who know they are Somalians first, Muslims second, who protect one another, come to each other's aid and to the aid of other Muslims too.
	Then there's a hard cut.
	My answer to Somalians was that the U.S.
	government will only do what Somalians in the U.S.
	tell them to do.
	They will do what we want and nothing else.
	They must follow our orders and that is how we will safeguard the interests of Somalia.
	We Somalians must have the confidence in ourselves that we call for the shots in the U.S.
	We live in the U.S., pay taxes in the U.S., and have a real voice.
	Again, another hard cut.
	For as long as I am in the U.S.
	Congress, Somalia will never be in danger.
	Its waters, the Indian Ocean, will not be stolen by Ethiopia or others.
	The U.S.
	would not dare to support anyone against Somalia to steal our lands or oceans, sleep in comfort, knowing I am here to protect the interests of Somalia from inside the U.S.
	system.
	She's a foreign agent, dude.
	That's kind of what they're arguing, but I found a more accurate translation, and I also found the context that they left out.
	Oh, you don't need any context.
	It's fine.
	So this is what started that speech.
	We Somalians are people who love each other.
	It is possible that some of us are rough with each other, but when the going gets tough, we are people who have each
	other's backs.
	Then we jump in.
	Instead of saying, we the people have the same blood, people who know they are Somalians, first Muslims, second,
	it is said, we are sisters and brothers, supporting each other,
	people who know they are Somalians and Muslims, coming to each other's aid and aiding their brothers and
	sisters.
	Do you notice there is also some more evidence here that she married her brother?
	She said, we are sisters and brother.
	Interesting.
	Easy.
	Good catch.
	Done.
	Yeah.
	Then this context was cut.
	And the other day when we heard that some Somalis, or some who say they are Somalis, entered the MOU, which is the Memorandum of Understanding with Ethiopia, many people called me and said, Ilhan, we should talk to the U.S.
	government.
	What is the U.S.
	government going to do about this?
	My response was, the U.S.
	government will do what we ask it to do.
	We should have the confidence in ourselves as Somalis.
	We live in this country.
	We are taxpayers in this country.
	This country is one where one of your daughters sits in Congress.
	Then we return to the speech here, the portion that Stephen did show.
	And I mean, it goes on.
	The lady you sent to Congress is on this and she is cognizant of the interests as you are.
	But yeah, based on this mistranslation, of course, Marjorie Taylor Greene, which I haven't heard from in a while.
	Yeah, she, she definitely, I mean, fell off.
	She had that sassy moment when Hunter Biden walked out on her.
	Yeah, I guess you're right.
	I've seen her a couple of times recently, but it's been very like, she has nothing to say when she's talking.
	It's just very much like, kind of like me a little bit sometimes.
	Well, it's kind of, I mean, this is exactly what you would expect her to say.
	I would love to expel her.
	I think she should be deported.
	Great.
	Yep, interesting.
	She did move to censure Ilhan and I think we're gonna find out on Monday what the situation is, but I don't think that's gonna happen because this is just a mistranslation.
	It's absolutely unreasonable.
	It's just people being proud of who they are and recognizing that as a culture they stand together.
	As Americans.
	Yeah, 100%.
	Yeah, you guys are dual citizens and what is happening back in our country is still important to us as dual citizens.
	That's not crazy.
	Even if they aren't dual citizens, it doesn't matter.
	Look, I live in Texas, but I still read about what's happening in my hometown.
	You know what I mean?
	I just have an interest in what's going on there because that's where I'm from.
	It's not complicated.
	And then her saying also that, you know, the U.S.
	government only hears what us Somalis want them to hear or, you know, what we tell them.
	They are the voice of the people.
	So it's sort of like collectivism in the way of, let's figure out what we want to tell them and then we'll tell them.
	But they're not going to do anything on their own without our getting them in on it, you know?
	Well, and then there's people like Stephen who constantly say that we should be proud of our heritage.
	Yeah.
	Well, I mean, if, uh, if there was a problem with Canada, I feel like he might want to be like... Wait, wait, we talked about that last week about free speech in Canada.
	Yeah.
	Interesting.
	Well, I just, I think what this is, this is a very like cis white guy approach to this because it's hard to imagine you don't have to abandon your race when you live in a country that's not primarily your race.
	Yeah, and I don't think that they were talking about anything involving the U.S.
	other than supporting a community.
	Totally.
	If somebody from Japan moved over to the United States, that person found out that Japan was being attacked by some other country, they're allowed to feel things about that.
	And they're allowed to also be supported by other Japanese Americans.
	I don't know what the fuck.
	It's just straight up like just racism from someone who doesn't understand that other races exist in the world.
	Some really unnecessary cultural bullying.
	Sleep in comfort with your brother knowing that I am here to protect.
	The Somali interest in the United States.
	She talks about like the Somalis, you know, are proud people.
	Why?
	What are you proud of?
	Okay, Somalians should be proud of a lot.
	Name one!
	The one thing they're known for they're not even good at.
	I know.
	The pirating.
	They're bad pirates.
	Americans are really good at eating fast food, shooting guns, and big trucks.
	Right?
	Well, I mean, that's kind of actually probably accurately describing them, but stereotypes.
	I love stereotypes so much.
	I love doing stereotypes.
	I like, uh, yeah, yeah, I like Yamaha.
	We're talking about stereo brands?
	The thing that I go to first, Somalia has a civil war, like an unprecedentedly long civil war, the longest of all time or something, right?
	I don't know of all time, but where my mind goes is that it's like, these are people that are like in this constant struggle with themselves and external, you know, everything.
	But then we go over here in Texas, they're just fucking stupid pirates.
	Then they're bad at it.
	Yeah, I think that Captain Phillips.
	Stephen should understand just because it's the only thing you know about them doesn't mean that's the only thing they're known for.
	I mean, I think he's pretty proud of his ignorance for the most part.
	Yeah, everything he knows he learned from a movie.
	They continue, they go on saying she banged her brother about eight more times.
	Of course, they're also doing the Rafiki accent.
	Great.
	Yeah.
	Love it.
	But you wanna hear something?
	Yes.
	Here's the thing.
	And this is like, she's a symptom, and it's a hilarious and gross symptom of a greater
	problem is you have a lot of representatives who are not actual representatives.
	Can we get rid of the term public servant?
	It's one thing that a lot of people actually appreciated about Nixon.
	After the stories, if you got a couple of drinks in Nixon, he basically said,
	the guys who took me out were the same guys who took Kennedy out.
	You know, the three-letter agencies.
	They didn't want him, but he said, I don't want to do that because I still want people to think that it's noble to go into public service.
	Why?
	It's not.
	Most of these people are corrupt.
	They are not serving you.
	They go in poor and they leave rich because of benefits and protections that you never will be afforded yourself.
	What?
	A hilarious growth symptom of a greater problem.
	Was he defending Nixon?
	He was, yeah.
	He likes Nixon.
	But people, like, unanimously seem to agree that Watergate was a huge fucking deal.
	I think I've heard them say that lesser things are more significant in their opinion.
	Whatever.
	Just a fun detail, my dad was on Nixon's security detail during his presidency.
	Really?
	Did he get a couple drinks in it?
	Yeah, yeah, I think my dad actually did drink with Nixon a couple of times, and he actually, he told me a couple of stories about it, just to back what Stephen's saying, I guess, is that Nixon would always say that he got an unfair shake of the stick because of the FBI and the CIA and all that stuff.
	At least he fucking kept it to himself, unlike Trump.
	Well, that's the thing, is that if you're constantly saying that you're being treated unfairly by these people, maybe it's because you're doing shit.
	Yeah, maybe.
	I don't really know that much about all of the stuff that went down with that, but it definitely seems like that era, especially of presidency, was, you know, scrutinized quite a bit by intelligence agencies.
	And I mean like, you know, say what you want about JFK, but that's probably an FBI op, you know?
	Yeah, yeah.
	They're more freewheeling they were able to do that kind of stuff back then it kind of felt like I don't know I This is this is nothing.
	I'm not really saying anything here.
	It's interesting though.
	It highlights just how Nixon a widely disliked politician at the end at least had enough respect for the office of the presidency to keep that to himself for the most part and also leave and Yeah, get himself out of the situation.
	Like, he knew that he was, you know, he was sitting in the way, basically, of what was happening outside of his influence.
	We've fallen so far.
	It's ridiculous.
	You know, also, I do agree with what Stephen is saying in some ways about... About Ilhan?
	No, no, no.
	I don't know.
	It's just about, like, public service.
	Like, a lot of people get into it for the wrong reasons, it seems like.
	That's true.
	And they stick around for a long time.
	Forever.
	And we don't really have terms on stuff like that.
	As a U.S.
	Senator, and I think even, you know, a higher rank that Nancy Pelosi had, she had something like $130,000 or $160,000 a year or something like that.
	Which is like no small amount of money for most regular people, but in the time that she's been in her position, she's garnished something like $300 million off of stock trading, right?
	Which needs to be addressed.
	Yeah, it feels bad.
	Like you look at the situation, it doesn't feel good when you know that these people are Most likely doing inside trading and stuff, but I I don't always think it's as bleak especially on a local level I think that if you ensure public servants divesting from private business and like sheriffs and governors.
	Yeah highest they I mean everyone just needs to do the job that they get elected for.
	I don't think you should be able to benefit from stock trading in that way and maybe even some years after you leave the office.
	Just somehow more transparency around money in general I think is what is good here.
	I completely agree.
	And we're just going to continue to have that issue if we don't have You know, anything in the way to do that.
	And then the other thing that we never really get to with Steven is that he never really gives us a solution or any kind of anything like that.
	So my solution here, get the fucking money out of politics and end things like Citizens United.
	That one's fully obvious.
	But no one, it's definitely the misquoted video you played, you dumb bitch.
	Yeah.
	I think that you're absolutely right, Jared.
	When he says that this is a symptom of a greater problem, the biggest problem in government is money and politics.
	That's it.
	It should be, we should publicly fund elections.
	There shouldn't be all these crazy campaign donations, insider trading, that kind of bullshit.
	I think that public servants shouldn't be allowed to own stocks at all.
	It needs to be very transparent.
	Yeah, well, and that's the biggest corruption.
	And that's that.
	And most people agree with that.
	I think it's a pretty commonly agreed to thing that money and politics causes problems.
	Money causes problems no matter where it ends up, right?
	Right.
	But yeah, it's definitely, it's because a brown lady married her brother, right?
	It is!
	It is!
	Dammit!
	And I was trying to say it wasn't, but you said it and I heard it, right?
	I heard it.
	I wasn't saying it.
	I heard it.
	And now I agree.
	It is because Omar is doing the brother stuff.
	Well, that's all we have today.
	Let's wrap it there.
	No, but curious like it just as an aside insider trading if the money was never like removed from that and we continue to have this the the next solution I think would also be to just transparency around that like all these people have set up like the Nancy Pelosi like stock tracker or like you know who said it's doing what with their cash right now that should just be made available on the daily like that should just be reported to everyone to watch So when Nancy Pelosi puts a million dollars into Roblox calls, we can also put our tens and $15 into Roblox calls and make our money back with her as well.
	Which I think would stimulate the economy because it's all going to those businesses, right?
	It was just a different way to purchase, but then we all get money back from playing the game, as it were.
	If they want to keep that as part of the thing that they do, then, like I said, it just needs to be more transparent in how they're doing it.
	Yeah, full transparency.
	Yeah, I agree.
	So here's another thing.
	So here's the thing.
	All congressmen and women and Z's and pirates take this oath when being sworn in.
	I do solemnly swear that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies foreign and domestic, that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same, that I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion, and that I will well and faithfully discharge the duties of the office on which I am about to enter.
	So help me God.
	So, here's the thing, by becoming a congressman or a rep, you cannot act as an agent for another government.
	And she's not.
	Yeah, she's just saying that I support the country that I came from.
	Listen, you guys, you're mishearing him.
	He's just aggressively reminding his audience of this.
	Sure.
	He knows that she didn't, but they don't.
	He's also aggressively flipping through overlays.
	Did you hear all those?
	Their eyes lit up.
	Do you have to say under God or so help me God?
	I think you may, but of course, you know, as we've become less and less a Christian nation, which is a sign of the end, I think that it just has to be like some sort of higher power, kind of the same like AA thing.
	So help me AI.
	I don't know.
	I don't know the actual rules around that.
	Yeah, I wouldn't say that.
	I wouldn't say God.
	A lot of the times you do your oath on a Bible.
	You do the Hunger Games?
	Mocking J-Symbol?
	No, I was saying you put your hand on a Bible or a Quran or something.
	I saw some guy use a Captain America shield.
	Really?
	Yeah, you can do anything.
	That's kind of cool.
	I wonder if you could use it as like a wok, that would be pretty cool.
	gang like a Genghis Khan style you know throw your little enemies fingers and
	the on the hot end of your Captain American shield what what I'm talking
	about cooking up noodles inside inside the I don't know how well it transfers
	I actually think it pushes heat away.
	Yeah, I feel like it wouldn't.
	I don't know guys.
	I'm not a fucking dork.
	I don't know this stuff.
	Prove it.
	I think I did.
	Prove you're not something, Byron.
	Someone starts a website proving that I am a dork now?
	ByronBigDork.net We've heard a lot from Stephen, and a little bit from this guy, but here he goes.
	In pandering to your audience, you can't say, I'm Somalian first, I'm Muslim second, and American's nowhere on the list, because America's the one that gave you the voice.
	Otherwise, you would just be one more person in that God-forsaken place.
	Sorry.
	And I care about the people that are there.
	I care about human suffering.
	But you can't come here and look at the opportunities that you've been given and get to a station in life where you have this voice now and go, I don't like anything about this.
	And this can be extrapolated to anything.
	Ukraine?
	Extrapolated to foreign aid to countries?
	It's like, look, I'm sorry, it's not our job.
	Hey, you know what?
	How about this?
	Hey, Somalia, we could use a hand.
	Don't send an actual hand.
	Send whatever currency you use there in that godforsaken... Hey, you know, Ethiopia?
	Come help us out!
	So this is just all lives matter.
	Oh, he is kind of doing it.
	That's exactly all it is.
	You don't have to mention the USA every time you mention something other than the USA.
	Do you?
	Do you have to be like, and before I begin, let me praise my great Lord USA.
	My problem was with the God-forsaken country, but of course, Gerald, he went on a mission trip in the 90s, and he has, you know, a lot of care for the people of Somalia, but also they've never done anything, and it's just a God-forsaken place.
	Amen, yeah, God don't care, Gerald don't care.
	Peace!
	Imagine you're in your city, and it's like burning down, and you're like praying for help, and then Gerald shows up.
	Imagine that experience, right?
	Civil war going on.
	You have a flat tire and Gerald's like, hey, you need some help?
	Get the fuck away, man.
	Just leave.
	All Lives Matter change my mind t-shirt or something?
	Get out of here, buddy.
	I'd rather just sit here.
	Just watching you, hands on his hips.
	He's like, I don't know, man.
	I just don't think God cares about this place.
	Jesus.
	All right.
	So we caught a big chunk of Gerald talking from later in the show, and I feel good about it.
	Yeah.
	But moving on to the next chunk of the show.
	I mean, that was a big story.
	That was a big chunk, but I feel like there's probably more pressing issues we should talk about.
	Of course.
	It's time to go to Taylor Swift.
	Do we have to?
	Oh, shut up.
	I don't like Taylor Swift.
	So this is gonna get really corny.
	Yes, so such a unique take.
	Cool dude, cool bro.
	It's fine.
	You either do or you don't.
	You don't have to.
	Don't give a shit.
	Well, let's do a really painful bit where everyone gets to shine.
	Let's pass it around the room.
	No one likes Taylor Swift.
	Well, a lot of people.
	A lot of people like Taylor Swift.
	No one in this room is a huge Swiftie.
	Is a Swiftie.
	I'm going to shake that off.
	Are you going to shake that off?
	I'm going to shake that comment off.
	And I don't have any other references because I don't know any other... Yeah, is there bad blood?
	Don't make me spill teardrops on my guitar.
	No, I'm not a fan.
	That's a deep cut there.
	Hey, you and I are never, ever, ever getting back together.
	Come on.
	You sound like a gay.
	But this is our song.
	Our song's the sound of screen doors, Steven!
	Shut...
	You know what the worst part is about this?
	The reason this goes back and forth is because I'm upset because he's a married man, but he belongs with me.
	Entertainment Minute.
	That's entertainment, isn't it?
	Is it over now?
	Yeah.
	That was so uncomfortable.
	They're like trying to make puns, but they just couldn't string them together.
	You need to calm down.
	I feel like all of their Taylor Swift references were at least four years old.
	You remember back to December when this was less of an issue?
	It's cold outside.
	Let me put my cardigan on.
	Don't blame me.
	It's just my wildest dreams to be enchanted by a love story.
	We should not have left a blank space for Jared to talk.
	Oh, fuck you, Ted.
	Gorgeous.
	Gorgeous.
	Me!
	I need it here.
	The perverts are coming, guys.
	Great.
	Alright, so last week, and this does bring up some interesting, and I'm curious to hear from you, it does bring up some interesting questions, and certainly legislatively, where you do have to balance freedom with Problems that are presented in the new world that infringe upon individuals freedoms.
	Yeah, so there was AI generated pornography of Taylor Swift that flooded social media and That of course has sort of spurred a longer conversation about AI Tonight, the White House expressing alarm after explicit so-called deepfakes of superstar Taylor Swift flooded social media.
	The administration now calling out platforms for lax enforcement against artificial intelligence.
	One of the fake images of Swift reportedly shared over 47 million times on X, in what advocacy groups say is a form of sexual abuse.
	I love the sound of the alarm.
	Like it's a Paul Revere with a raging erection.
	The Swifties are coming!
	The pornos are coming!
	The perverts are coming!
	Actually, I would appreciate an alarm that would tell me the perverts are coming.
	It would, yeah, it would.
	I mean, I don't really necessarily know that someone's perverted if they want to see Taylor Swift naked.
	She's in her 30s.
	You know, I'm saying, but it's wrong.
	Okay, let me, before I get into trouble.
	What is he doing?
	Why do you say that?
	That's very weird.
	They wanted a pervert alarm?
	I guess they... Isn't that just their normal alarm?
	Seems like they... Yeah, it's a strange animal theme song.
	He just, he stopped short of being like a normal decent guy.
	It is, it is gross.
	Yeah, it's gross.
	It's inappropriate.
	Non-consensual, artificially generated nudes of anyone.
	The fact that people can't grasp the consent part of porn.
	Yeah.
	And sex work and that kind of shit.
	So strange.
	It's so strange to me.
	It's kind of like back when people were like reading the lyrics to Baby It's Cold Outside and then WAP and acting like WAP is worse because it says pussy a lot.
	Sure.
	Right?
	It's like the consent is the conversation.
	It's the wrong thing.
	And same thing with this.
	The consent is the conversation.
	They said, uh, I had a wet vagina in this, Dennis.
	Are you kidding me?
	That's the same.
	That's the same thing.
	So much grosser.
	Ugh.
	This is just the classic shitty photoshops that existed back in like 2003.
	You were about to hit it.
	Twitter suspended all searches for Taylor Swift and according to a post by XSafety, they said posting non-consensual nudity images is strictly prohibited on X and we have a zero tolerance policy towards such content.
	Our teams are actively removing all identified images and taking appropriate action against the accounts responsible for posting them.
	We are closely monitoring the situation to ensure that any further violations are immediately addressed and the content is removed.
	We're committed to maintaining a safe and respectful environment for all users.
	I wish that this would, you know, be like all users wide, like all the other poor young people who have their images put up.
	Yeah, right.
	Taylor Swift has this like amazing like response to protecting her and they'll be like, oh, yeah, that's... I mean, the message is good.
	I think it's important to talk about, of course, but I still think that there's a huge problem.
	Yeah, of course.
	It's a huge problem.
	I mean, we're about to continue talking about it.
	Great.
	Here's the thing with AI porn.
	Pornography.
	First off, we agree that porn is bad for your soul.
	Pornography, okay?
	I'm anti-porn.
	Doesn't mean that I don't like looking at naked ladies.
	This is the thing, everyone will try and say, oh, you're a hypocrite.
	Okay, sure, fine.
	Every single man is a hypocrite because we've all looked at naked ladies.
	And we like looking at more naked ladies.
	It's like you, ladies, with dresses or shoes.
	We like looking at as many as possible.
	That's how we're hardwired.
	It doesn't mean that it's not wrong.
	And dresses and shoes are bad for your soul.
	Of course they are.
	Consumerism, Byron.
	You didn't consider that at all.
	He literally objectified women.
	You know, naked women just like shoes.
	What? 100%.
	Naked women means the absence of shoes and dresses.
	In fact, you know, that's the piss-poor analogy that you can expect from from our boy here.
	Hey, you guys ever look at clothes?
	Clothes?
	Yeah, I go shopping sometimes.
	I shop occasionally.
	Me too.
	Y'all know people of all genders that like seeing naked bodies?
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I think so.
	Fuck off, Steven.
	It's pretty dumb stuff.
	Shut up.
	Dumbass.
	Now, when we get to deepfake artificial intelligence porn, there is no federal law banning it on the books, and only ten states, they have any type of law addressing it, and our home state of Tennessee does not have those.
	So, this does bring up some interesting questions.
	Actually, she's on CNN right now, Karen Jean-Pierre.
	Alright, let's gracefully link some stories together, this one and the last.
	How are they going to pull that off, you think, Dennis?
	I have no idea.
	Saturday, though, we have...
	Karine Jean-Pierre.
	She looks like a messed up carbon electrode.
	She does.
	She looks like she might have a brother marriage certificate somewhere down here.
	Saturday she addressed the controversy specifically.
	We are alarmed by the reports of the circulation of images that you just laid out.
	False images to be more exact and it is alarming.
	They like using the word alarming.
	I don't think she cares.
	She does not care one bit.
	She's also a lesbian.
	I'm sure she doesn't care at all.
	Yeah.
	It's been too long for Steven to go with making a black person a caricature.
	So I think that Gerald, he said more than he thought he did when he said that she's attracted to women.
	She probably enjoyed looking at those pictures.
	Those non-consensual images.
	Is Gerald attracted to women?
	Yeah.
	So just the logic checks out that he's saying he enjoyed looking at the pictures.
	He's also one of the perverts that Paul Revere's penis would be pointing at.
	That's a great alliteration.
	Thanks.
	Uh, this fucking sucks.
	Yeah, it's shitty.
	I mean, it's hard to address every single time.
	Like, we didn't even talk about ticking pantsuit with the Ilhan Omar comments, like, implying that she's a Muslim terrorist.
	That's cool.
	I didn't know what they meant by ticking.
	I was like, what do they mean by ticking?
	I thought it meant like a, like a tick, like a Tourette's tick or something.
	Just let it wash over you that when it just gets down like that.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	I need a glossary to understand his racism.
	Because Karen Jean-Pierre is black, she also has a brother marriage, which is just like, what are you saying Steve?
	And also that she sounds like she came right out of doing a scene with Rudy Ray Moore.
	Just making horrific rape culture coded accusations.
	Wild, wild, stacking, just horrific stuff.
	Because she's black, I guess?
	It's like, a black lesbian woman, this is how she feels.
	You just want to see nudes, you know?
	Who doesn't want to see the nudes?
	Nudes that would look better suited, airbrushed, on the side of a van.
	Yeah, that's cool stuff.
	A little Three Wolf Moon in there?
	A little wizard maybe?
	I mean, the revenge porn stuff is a real problem.
	They are talking about a very serious thing.
	Just not seriously.
	No, not even a little bit, but someone did.
	There is an article written called The Increasing Threat of Deepfake Identities from the DHS.
	March of 2021, they bring up a story.
	It was a cyberbullying case in Pennsylvania where a mother allegedly manipulated images and videos of her daughter's cheer squad and teammates.
	Fuckin' A, Jesus.
	Yeah, the deepfakes showed members of the cheer squad drinking, vaping, posing nude.
	It was all to get them, I guess, cut from the cheerleading squad.
	Several of the victims came forward about the cyberbullying, and one victim claimed the mother went as far as to encourage suicide, furthering the harassment outside of the deepfakes.
	However, in May of 2021, the deepfake accusation has been abandoned as it could not be proven that the video evidence was falsified.
	And also Steven did bring up that only certain states have legislation in place.
	I think what concerns me is that it was abandoned because they couldn't prove the video was fake.
	Yeah, that's interesting.
	That's a really scary thing because that's kind of like, you can't prove something didn't happen, right?
	That's a really intense, that's a concern.
	Yeah, and they're just not focusing on the real problem at all, instead talking about... I mean, I guess it is a comedy show, what do we expect?
	Yeah, it's true, it's comedy.
	And honestly, for all this, who's responsible?
	Who's responsible?
	You have...
	An AI generator, let's say someone creates this through an AI generator, the person, or is it the AI machine, where I think that's probably the one that would have to be the most liable, where they would have to program into it, hey, we're not going to allow AI pornography to be created with our AI software.
	Because if they allow for that to be done, and then it gets distributed, the other component is people are profiting off of it.
	Yeah, right.
	That's very different from just a Photoshop.
	That's kind of funny.
	It's a meme.
	If a website is getting millions and millions of people watching this and making millions of dollars, then someone at some point is responsible if it falls under the idea of, you know, fraud, defamation.
	Yeah, and it just seems like the law really hasn't caught up with this right now.
	We talked about it before the show.
	We were saying like, you know, when Photoshop came out, you now have the ability to crudely put somebody's head or face over a body and be like, ha ha ha, right?
	But you can kind of see that that's obviously not that person, and so there wasn't any real understanding that, hey, this could technically possibly even be real.
	Right.
	Now you've gotten, we've just gotten better at it.
	Right.
	We've got better technology, better capabilities.
	Better pizza.
	But I don't think you go to taking away freedom of speech, right?
	And this is where you don't want to infringe on this.
	You do go to, well, what are the laws?
	Yeah.
	We need to make some laws.
	But yeah, it's also, you know, it's fine as long as it's funny meme non-consensual Photoshop.
	You know, and I agree with them that the law hasn't caught up for this yet.
	Yes, absolutely.
	And another area where the law hasn't caught up is gun rights.
	Great point.
	The second amendment in general.
	Yeah.
	You know, they're doing like the blame the tool thing.
	Yeah.
	It's obviously like we don't want AI tools to make it easy to do this kind of shit.
	We don't.
	Right.
	And we need to address what the tools do and what the figurative tools do.
	And hearkening back to a time before this, the Photoshop's that Gerald's talking about, like, yeah, I still think that there's, you know, attached damage to that, even if it's real or not, it's, it's mean.
	There is the difference.
	And the reason why it's more of a focus now isn't because of what they were creating.
	It's the fact that it can be created so quickly.
	And the fact that it can be spread so quickly now, that's the biggest difference, right?
	The problem was always there.
	It was just a quieter problem.
	Yeah, what Gerald was referring to actually was there was a time when he had an infatuation with Miss Piggy.
	He wanted to see all 16 of her nipples and the imagination can really only take you so far, Dennis.
	Oh, that's true.
	With a ripped version of Photoshop.
	Yeah, exactly.
	He needed a new update.
	CS4?
	I don't know.
	If you have something on a site that breaks the law, they can ask for it to be taken down.
	It should be taken down.
	That's fine.
	That's what should happen here.
	And then the person has the recourse of suing and saying, hey, you profited off of my name, image, or likeness.
	Yeah, the laws are pretty clear.
	It's like, is it parody?
	Satire?
	This clearly is not meant to look like that.
	So people are fooled.
	And then are they profiting off of it?
	Those things typically are taken into account, whether it's copyright, whether it's false use of image, whether it's defamatory.
	So it's a tough one.
	But we are in an era too where this, we've talked about this, when we do this Clean Slate campaign where it's just aggregation.
	People don't want to create anything now.
	They just want to aggregate.
	You have scripts for Crying Out Loud in Hollywood.
	They're using AI for huge bulks of these scripts.
	You're seeing this for a lot of, that's why things feel less creative.
	That's why you go on Instagram and it's a scroll and it's a clip and a clip and a clip and a clip and a clip of a stand-up comedian on some profile who doesn't even know who that person is.
	I think the SAG strike actually kind of put the kibosh on the AI script writing.
	Yeah, it was pretty substantial.
	But also, I hope that... Can we save this clip so that when Steven eventually tries to sue us for making fun of his show, we can just repeat his words back to him?
	Yeah, we'll just show him this clip here.
	They mention recourse, and of course, recourse is often times too little too late, after it's already done.
	You have the option to sue someone.
	Maybe people don't want to spend all of their time suing people.
	It's not cheap.
	It's not like free time.
	No one wants to be in court.
	No, that's like saying people can always hit you, you can sue them later.
	We're not going to make assault illegal necessarily.
	Let's get rid of the police force so you can handle everything in court.
	Not a bad one.
	But back to Taylor talk, of course.
	Taylor Swift, she is a musician, not a... She's not a porno actress!
	You know, she's not banging her brother like Ilan Omar.
	So, you know, it's one of those things where you go, hey, well, hold on a second.
	That's not mean.
	That's something that her kids, if she, you know, ever ends up wanting to be a mother, which, you know, probably when she's in her 40s and she realizes that her window is closed and it's too late.
	Ouch.
	Quick little shot of unnecessary meanness.
	Totally.
	Yeah.
	Also, I love that one of the guys is like...
	He loved it.
	Savage, Steve.
	But he was like, what?
	Damn, Steven.
	Damn, Steven.
	Back at it again with the Owen Benjamin tweet.
	Nice.
	I mean, what's worse for your soul than porn, though?
	I was always saying, and we were always saying, you know what, rock bands, people out there,
	some of the black pill, red pill community saying bang a bunch of chicks, I think that's
	I think it's bad for your soul.
	Feels good.
	Sex feels good.
	Naked ladies?
	Okay, great.
	But it's bad for your soul and you lose a piece of it if that's the way that you live.
	I believe that pursuing virtue for the sake of virtue is more rewarding than temporary pleasures.
	That being said, I also have to defend Mick Jagger and David Bowie and Tommy Lee when you have people coming out 30, 40 years later saying that they felt exploited.
	It's like, you showed up for an orgy at a Motley Crue concert in 1987.
	This can't just be a 401k for groupies.
	So, having said orgy, bad, morally, for you personally.
	Legally, this is not a violation of consent.
	And it's crazy now that... Do you guys feel this way?
	The conservative Christians are the ones going, well, hold on a second, we've said this is bad for you personally, but we're also not saying that it should be illegal and these people deserve protections.
	And the left, that was entirely pro-sexual liberation, birth control, women, go out and be whores, that's how you'll be just as powerful as men, are now saying, no, no, no, we're going to disempower you by saying that you can't even take accountability for your proactive consent.
	You can retroactively pull it back.
	The sexual revolution now makes no sense!
	What the fuck is he talking about?
	He's just spiraling.
	Do you guys remember how he started this episode?
	Talking about Blackrock and the pedophiles.
	Interesting.
	I only say that to say this.
	Firstly, firstly's first.
	Just finding it strange that he feels like he needs to defend any of these people.
	Like these people need his defending.
	Mick Jagger.
	Oi.
	Thank you, Steven Crowder.
	You've helped me so much here.
	I'm the ghost of David Bowie.
	Oi, Crowder.
	It's me.
	I don't know if you need to mention that I was sleeping with someone who was underage.
	Mick Jagger sticks his head around the corner and is like, Oh and she was 17 years old.
	Pamela DeBornes her name is.
	We went to write on several books about her sexual experiences with me and mine.
	This is not true.
	I don't know where he's at anymore.
	And then he mentions Tommy Lee.
	This person who last year brought up an incident that took place with him and maybe that's what he's talking about.
	But also in his book, The Dirt, there's a story about Nikki Sixx, I guess, how do you say, swapping out with Tommy Lee with his formerly consenting partner.
	That's just called rape.
	I don't know.
	That's Revenge of the Nerds stuff.
	Yeah, yeah.
	So all of these things, I assure you, Stephen, the sexual revolution, It does make sense but it's uh it's not for piss baby cry sacks who are actively trying to not understand why someone underage doesn't have the same agency as an adult and maybe that's his libertarian beliefs shining through or why someone would maybe take the time to wait and report a sexual assault.
	This story is as old as time now like this is not new but it's also not new to completely misunderstand it.
	Yeah, that's exactly, that's all he is.
	He's just plain dumb.
	And also, I don't know how we got here.
	Yeah, I don't know how we got here either.
	Completely left field, but... Does he talk about Taylor Swift in the NFL at all?
	No.
	That's what I, when I saw Taylor Swift, that's what I thought he was talking about.
	Well, maybe he did mention that at some point.
	I don't know if it was this episode or a different one, but I mean, he's aware.
	Because of course there's that grand conspiracy going around in right-wing circles right now that's saying the NFL, like, planned the Chiefs making... It's a PSYOP, dude!
	I did make this joke before the conspiracy theory started.
	I was like, oh, of course, Travis Kelce and Taylor Swift are going to get engaged at the 50-yard line, was what I said.
	They're saying they're going to meet at the 50-yard line and proclaim their support for Joe Biden.
	And maybe even, like, everyone get your Pfizer booster or something.
	Take a knee.
	Kneel to Joe Biden?
	He's gonna have Joe and Biden written underneath his eyes.
	That'd be so cool.
	I love the idea of everyone in the NFL collectively taking a knee for Pfizer.
	They all stand, like, elbow to elbow, and then at, like, the... Who's doing the Super Bowl?
	Usher.
	It's Usher.
	Hell yeah.
	Right when he hits the song with Lil Jon.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	The ones 20 years old?
	Yeah, exactly.
	Well, they got to play it.
	All the football players are going to like jump backwards.
	So the backs of their shirts are facing the camera and it's going to say, vote for Biden, get your shot.
	You know, it's going to be, it's like a whole thing.
	It's going to be really sick.
	Anthony Fauci takes off a football helmet.
	Anthony Fauci's playing for the Chiefs.
	His flowing blonde hair just comes out of it too.
	You know what I mean?
	It's just like beautiful.
	I hope he's one of the refs.
	He blows the whistle in the middle and everyone's like, what?
	What?
	And he's like, you didn't get your booster!
	This is a shutdown!
	He just ends the game.
	The Democratic Party actually paid for all of it this year.
	Pepsi took a step back.
	The NFL brought to you by the DNC.
	The DNC.
	So Josh, what is this?
	Read something the other day?
	What?
	I saw an article the other day.
	I think it was Washington Post or something like that.
	It was somebody legit, kinda, and they did a poll where they said one-fifth of the voters said they would vote for whoever Taylor Swift is endorsing.
	So they're idiots.
	Yeah.
	I don't know how accurate that number is, but I do know that she has a huge influence on a lot of people.
	Yeah.
	And the fact that the White House came out immediately and said something, it's like, oh yeah, protect our golden goose.
	Like, protect our egg maker, you know, whatever the phrase is.
	Golden goose.
	Egg maker.
	I like egg maker.
	Golden goose worked and then you ruined it.
	You went a little too far.
	Nope.
	Egg maker.
	Okay, alright.
	Egg maker.
	Well, I don't know.
	Her window's about to close.
	There's no male or female.
	There's just Eggmakers.
	Steven should offer more comedy advice.
	It's true.
	Punch it up, Josh.
	Eggmaker's actually fucking hilarious.
	I'm gonna start using that.
	Of course!
	That's really good.
	That's the Eggmaker.
	Josh, I'm giving you the nod on that.
	Like a regular chicken?
	I don't know.
	So the polling they're talking about was exclusive to Newsweek by Redfield & Witton Strategies, sample size of 1500.
	That's kind of standard, I suppose.
	Yeah, I don't know.
	Conducted January 18th, it found that 18% of voters say that they are more likely or significantly more likely to vote for a candidate endorsed by Taylor Swift.
	The news has- that's it.
	No one else is talking about any other part of this survey.
	It's done.
	Okay.
	Which is what I've seen.
	Yeah.
	However, there's more of this.
	Huh.
	People keep leaving this out.
	17% said that they would be less likely to vote for swift-backed candidates.
	Hmm.
	55% would be neither more nor less to do so.
	45% said that they were fans of Taylor Swift, 54% said they were not, and 6% said that they were not familiar with Swift.
	And that's where Gerald Wishes he was.
	This is just a nothing story.
	Weird reporting for no reason.
	Like, if it's equal that the people would or would not, why are we talking about it?
	Yeah, well, it's interesting to discuss just the influence of pop culture in politics.
	But I think that what I hate about this is that they treat it so differently because it's Taylor Swift and they know that her fan base tends to be like younger people.
	I think they're mad because she didn't lean this way, but her early fans, country fans, when she first came out, they're like, this is our girl, you know?
	I think they feel slighted.
	They're also just fucking jealous.
	Yeah.
	They're jealous of her success.
	I think that's probably true.
	They're worried about the fact that she will get young people voting and young people overwhelmingly lean left.
	Though, younger guys are leaning more right now.
	Which is kind of shocking.
	But I think they see that a lot of Taylor's fanbase are people who would probably lean left and they don't want him to vote.
	And they're scared of that.
	Yeah, it's scary, obviously.
	It's scary if you let people speak their minds.
	But they don't need to be afraid.
	The polling says that it doesn't matter.
	Yeah, I don't think anyone's going to actively listen to Taylor Swift on political issues.
	She's going to drive young people to vote more.
	Young women plus their boyfriends, you know?
	Great point.
	Do you guys think everyone should vote?
	I would like everyone to vote.
	Yeah, me too.
	It should be easy.
	It's weird though.
	It seems like maybe the right?
	Should be easy, should be free, it should be simple.
	They want to try to reduce the number of active participants in the electoral process.
	Yeah, they're stupid if they think that they like stuff and with the body autonomy.
	It's like if you were like, let's say you were like at your office.
	You said, hey, what should we get for lunch today?
	And then someone said, oh, I'm going to go ask everyone else.
	And they go, don't you fucking dare.
	I asked you, don't you fucking dare.
	Seems like you're kind of bullying me here, man.
	They didn't get bullied when I was in school either.
	Of course not.
	You'd be like, hey, man, you're a fag.
	Until the guy's like, I'm actually gay.
	I didn't mean that to you.
	It was the guy next to you.
	Obviously, YouTube dump button.
	But my point is, you never actually said it to a gay guy.
	You said it to the straight guy.
	Because?
	Because the gay guy knows he's gay.
	And you'll get in trouble.
	Sometimes.
	You don't want to get in trouble.
	Sometimes he doesn't.
	And wait, why are we calling people gay?
	What the fuck did I just hear?
	Did I mishear this earlier?
	It was like, now I have like an idea.
	What the fuck, Steven?
	I don't call gay guys gay because they're gay.
	I call straight people gay because...
	Because then they know they're like those lesser people.
	Okay.
	That's what you're saying, Steve.
	What is he saying?
	Like Josh was saying in high school, this is, he didn't remember this happening or something like that.
	I was like, people were relentlessly bullied in my school on whether or not they were gay or not.
	But yeah.
	Yeah, and I think we all kind of grew up in the same generation as Stephen and Josh.
	Maybe Josh is a little younger.
	I don't know.
	I guess he was in Iraq.
	Stephen was born the day before me.
	That's right.
	Yeah.
	I mean, they've happened playing the gay soundboard like all day.
	All day.
	And also, yeah, I mean, we obviously bleeped that, but they're bringing back the X-slur.
	Lovely.
	So we had some back-to-back segments that I considered cutting entirely about the drone strike in Jordan that killed three US soldiers and injured dozens more.
	It was Gerald Knows Things is the name of the segment.
	So of course the takes were bad.
	We can kind of rip through a couple.
	We also skipped over strange takes about the Eugene Carroll defamation lawsuit.
	Great.
	Off the rails.
	Just total bullshit.
	This is this is Gerald's segment in a nutshell when at the beginning of the show and they said go fornicate yourself and everyone Flipped off the camera Gerald's show is his reaction Thumb bite.
	Pretty good.
	Yeah.
	Nice.
	That's I think this is more from Stephen's segments then and now comparing Biden and Trump.
	Okay, and their responses to what would have happened As far as no new foreign wars, the only president to do it in our lifetime, isn't that one good thing?
	And certainly there are far fewer casualties of American soldiers.
	Can we all agree if there's only one good thing?
	Can you give that one to Donald Trump?
	I don't think he deserves that one.
	I don't think so.
	I think that they just played him like a fiddle instead.
	Yeah, they kind of got everything they wanted.
	Yeah, exactly.
	There was no reason to fight because you don't fight the person who gives you things.
	It's not obvious, but Trimp... Trimp?
	Trimp didn't start a regular war.
	That's funny.
	No one's ever said that before.
	President Tramp?
	Tramp.
	Sucks.
	He started an even dumber thing that feels in some ways like an info war.
	Interesting.
	Tricky.
	But let's talk about some physical differences.
	Okay, sure, yeah.
	A week old man with a pseudo-mullet.
	It's not even a real mullet.
	I don't know who's advising him on the back of his hair or if he's just never looked in the mirror into the mirror in the barbershop.
	But this is what's really important here is we need to look at the results of the policies and exactly why we are here with Iran and very likely we'll make missteps going forward so long as these people are at the tiller of the ship.
	Whose haircut?
	Are we truly going to compare Trump and Joe Biden's hair?
	Does Joe Biden have a funny haircut right now?
	No, it's just like normal.
	Kind of long in the back.
	I don't know.
	I call it the ducktail.
	Sure.
	Right?
	That's what I'm talking about.
	If you shave your head and then you kind of let the hair grow out without any shape, it kind of does this ducktail thing.
	Yeah.
	Does he got the post-hardcore mullet?
	I mean, it's not bad.
	If it was a little longer, I think, then it could be a little bit more fashionable.
	It's not doing him any favors.
	No, of course not, but it never has.
	And honestly, Donald Trump's hair?
	Are we really going to even have this conversation?
	Straight dog ass.
	Yeah, you can't, you can't shit on that at all.
	Have you seen the pictures of Trump recently?
	It looks like he's like trying to save money or something.
	It's the wrong orange hue.
	The hair is totally whacked out of like, it's, it's like bigger and somehow more like.
	His old box dye was discontinued.
	What am I going to do?
	You know he doesn't let anyone else touch his hair.
	He does it all himself in his sink.
	You know he hires somebody.
	Yeah, I know.
	I would love to see... Imagine the person who works for Trump and is like, I hate that I have to do this.
	You have to have signed like a complete NDA about his hair.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, you can't.
	Don't talk about it.
	You actually have to do it with your eyes closed.
	And that's why it works so bad.
	Well, and I think at the end of the day, foreign war and general foreign policy is really, really complicated.
	That's my general.
	General foreign policy.
	General foreign policy, you know that guy.
	You just can't reduce it down to a statistic like the number of foreign wars that started during a presidency.
	The stuff that Trump did for our foreign policy had severe impacts in other ways and it still echoes.
	Well, and I mean, there's a lot of problems I have with the wars that Biden is seemingly participating in.
	It doesn't change the fact that Trump being an isolationist also was ineffective.
	Well, and I think about the wars that are currently in effect, like Ukraine or in Gaza, and imagine Trump trying to deal with Israel and Gaza.
	Oh my God.
	Yeah, it'd be terrible.
	Well, we're going to find out next year.
	We probably will.
	But yeah, I mean, after all of this, Stephen says out loud what we were thinking and confirms the reason we cut a bunch of clips.
	I know it feels like it's a dry segment but this is something you're going to have to watch.
	It relates directly to Israel and Gaza.
	We talked about these militia backed groups and how so much of everything flows back to Iran and right now they're testing someone who they know is not made of the right stuff to deal with.
	Is that what they do?
	Do they generally test the president?
	If they know he's not made of the right stuff, do they test him?
	Interesting.
	That would be a good idea.
	Right?
	So usually, like, if I want to, like, steal something from a house, what I do is I always break in once and take a little thing.
	Sure.
	And then see if they get upset.
	And then I go back and take it all.
	You're a good criminal.
	Yeah, thanks.
	That's smart, dude.
	Smooth, even.
	Smooth criminal.
	We got a big question, though.
	Might be the last question of the night.
	Do you feel safer today?
	Do you think the world is more stable today in 2024 than it was when Donald Trump was at the tiller of the ship in 2018, 2019, 2020?
	It's a genuine question and I don't think that anybody can answer Yes.
	Uh, my answer is yes.
	However, I feel, you know, less safe as a person, not because of the Biden era, but because of the Trump era.
	Yeah.
	I was going to say, I don't know how I feel, but I do know the reasons behind it are not related to a couple of things that he's implying.
	Yeah, for me it's like my uneasiness didn't leave because of Biden.
	I have some stuff here, but I'll just ask you guys too.
	Did you feel a sense of levity, I guess, in the second term of Obama?
	For me it felt like we were doing like societal good and there was like a momentum behind people wanting like good progress.
	This is why it maybe felt, for instance, why like universal health care or something like that was achievable.
	Where like now, eight years later, I don't really feel like it is.
	It's definitely not on the table as much.
	It's not even talked about.
	I don't know what I feel.
	It's not more safe, but it's because of the erosion of trust in the government, which is all due to Trump bringing that out in people.
	To imply that Joe Biden had a fair chance of transforming the United States, it was completely shit on the entire time.
	Yeah, I think he deserved a hashtag clean slate, and he didn't.
	That's a good point.
	But to constantly say that the election was stolen and rigged and you can't trust anyone.
	Yeah, he started out fighting the trust machine in general, and half of the country just gave him no shot.
	And of course, we did that to Trump, I get that.
	Of course, yeah, I was gonna say, I mean, we... But we also... We asked for it with the dirty dossier.
	Yeah, but the thing is, like, when that shit came out, I knew it was, like, just like... I didn't take it as seriously.
	Exactly.
	The thing is, is that when we...
	When we see like a corrupt guy, obviously it's complicated, I'm just going to stop there.
	Corruption is wide.
	It is wide, but at the end of the day, Trump destabilized a bunch.
	Like everybody who's going to have to pay more in taxes this year because of Trump's 2017 tax cuts, people are going to blame that all on Biden and that's how they're going to spin it.
	That's the shit that really wrecks us right now.
	Yeah, it was written to expire for that reason, right?
	Exactly, yeah.
	Like either I get to renegotiate or it falls on you and you're not going to renegotiate it.
	So everyone loses because of Trump.
	It's kind of like if there's a hoarder in a house and then they just abandon the house and the landlord shows up and then you show up right behind the landlord and say, Jesus, you live in a pigsty.
	It's not his fault.
	Yeah, obviously like there's problems that every president inherits, but do you feel safer or less safe in this really broad strokes generalization?
	It's not an easy question to answer.
	Do you remember when Obama met with Trump to peacefully transfer power and wished him the best?
	Yeah.
	I think that goes a long way.
	It does.
	Yeah.
	Trump didn't do it for Biden, did he?
	No, he flew out.
	He left.
	Trump won.
	He just left and got in a helicopter.
	Yeah.
	I mean, if you want to say that you feel less safe, Steven, that's all your fault.
	You did this.
	You didn't want a safer, better, happier, more successful country.
	I will say also that he's up in the Dallas area, and I know that Dallas has a pretty substantial crime rate.
	It's like one of the worst in the country, I think.
	In Austin, where we're... It's not.
	It's Republican.
	Eric Johnson over there.
	That's right.
	So we, uh, in Austin here, right?
	We're like two hours, three hours south of Dallas.
	We don't even really make that list.
	And, you know, we, we have horrific things that happen here, just like every other big city.
	And I think it's really easy to say that things are worse now.
	Things are more unsafe.
	It's more unstable.
	When truly places like Austin, you know, we've voted to defund the police, though nothing really ever came out of that.
	People use that as a talking point to say why there's so much crime here.
	But the truth is, is that there's less crime here on average than other cities at the same population density.
	We're actually like one of the more safer cities to live in in the United States, but just that where there is population, there is crime, just as there's many other things.
	But if that's what we're focusing on, we have much less of it here than Stephen does in his city.
	That is, is that what he's referring to?
	Or is he trying to say that like Biden has destabilized things in a way that were not already happening before, you know, before his election or before his fake election?
	Thank you.
	I think we're looking at stuff like COVID and things like that in the Trump that like made it was all very bad going into Biden's anyway.
	So it's just, what, what, what is he trying to say?
	Do you think?
	Well, I think he's saying that Taylor would have never dated Travis if Trump was still in office.
	That's a good point.
	Do you guys remember the last time the Chiefs went to the Super Bowl and Trump congratulated the state of Kansas?
	I didn't know that.
	That's really smart and cool.
	Damn, guys.
	I mean, I wish I could be more hopeful about feeling safe.
	And I mean, we are three white guys.
	Things are a lot worse for a lot of other people.
	I don't know, man.
	Listen, I think that those days will be back.
	I think our Harriet Tubman going to be on the $20 bill days are going to be coming back around, you know?
	Big hell yeah.
	We're going to have different challenges, I think, but things work like a slingshot in that it takes a lot of the resistance to launch that rock forward through the myopic lens of that Cyclops.
	And that's all Stephen's show is.
	We react because he reacts.
	He's not making culture, he's just mad about it.
	That's very true.
	He's upset.
	Sad man.
	Sad man bad.
	Sad man bad.
	All right, let's wrap it up.
	We've got a tease for the next chapter in the Black Rock.
	You know, we've always talked about these big stings and investigations.
	It's not what you know, it's what you can prove beyond any shadow of a doubt.
	And then you start gaining more, because you know more, and then you're able to prove more.
	And everyone watching right now on YouTube, head on over to RumbleB- Okay, so you know because you learned.
	And then you learn because you... He's not gonna learn a damn thing about this, is he?
	No, not at all.
	Can't wait to talk about the lawsuit that's coming.
	Yeah.
	What if this just like absolutely ruins him?
	Wouldn't that be hilarious?
	I believe that if this explodes, it will be the thing that ruins him.
	I truly believe that.
	That's fine.
	Is that your 2024 prediction?
	That is, yeah, that's my 2021 prediction.
	You think we could wrap this thing up?
	I think this is going to be the final season of Lafayette.
	Damn, I really hope so.
	I really hope that he fails.
	He gets to pivot, you know?
	We got the Hodge twins.
	I can't wait to... Go back to Walsh.
	Let me think.
	Trimmin' Hodge?
	Trimmin' Hodges?
	What do we got?
	Cranks on Hodges.
	And where are the cranks?
	What's another one we could do?
	Josh is fine.
	I'm letting him off the hook.
	He's a toady.
	He's fine.
	He's gonna have a hard time finding another gig as sweet as this one, frankly.
	Uh, his takes on this episode were pretty rough.
	We cut this, but when he said, uh, making the rape or something like that?
	Carol clip.
	Having rape with her?
	Yeah, for Dennis, I'll play that just for fun.
	Yeah, what?
	Yeah, it's a good clip.
	Well, look at the Donald Trump case that just, this weekend, that just took place.
	Is it Gene Carroll?
	Gene Carroll.
	Think about this.
	This guy is being sued for defamation, effectively, in a colorful way, saying that he didn't bang a woman that he didn't bang.
	He basically said, I didn't bang, I didn't bang, I would never bang that whore.
	No, you can't say that.
	Even though you didn't, you can't use the descriptors.
	That's really what the defamation is, is he attacked someone for falsely accusing him of sexually assaulting her, and they're saying, well, yeah, but you were too, you were too adamant.
	There was too much zeal in your attack against the lying whore.
	He must have been found guilty of something in court.
	Like having raped with her.
	He was found civilly liable.
	And you know what?
	There's also another option.
	You can just shut the fuck up.
	Why do you have to talk about it?
	You don't have to.
	Put it in your fucking diary.
	Move on.
	Yes.
	Move on.
	Well, I mean it cost him another $85 million.
	It cost him way more.
	That's just about all I can handle this week.
