EPISODE 22: OOPS, I WATCHED THE BIG GAME (FEBRUARY 13TH, 2024)

Even though the Boys took Monday of for...some reason...they come back to the show with a weak take on the "woke" Big Game, a government spending bill, and an absolutely wrong take on a mentally ill, female shooter. Waiting for their correction...not holding my breath. Email: louderthancrowder@gmail.com Twitter/X: @thancrowder Music by DJ Danarchy

	This is an audio wool original Okay, shame on me
	So So
	So Peace.
	You're welcome.
	Welcome to Louder Than Crowder, a podcast about the podcast.
	Louder with Crowder.
	My name's Byron.
	I'm joined tonight across from me by Dennis.
	Hey, I thought I was coming later, so I was getting ready to react later.
	Jared occupied Texas over there.
	And actually, I put a bunch of taffy in my mouth and swallowed it so quickly.
	Hell yeah, dude, taffy slam.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Taffy's like, this is a thing that people do?
	You guys haven't done that before?
	No!
	Yeah, you kind of get like six or seven flavors, and then you kind of twist it up, and then you just kind of like... You swallow it.
	Yeah.
	Like whole, it just kind of goes down.
	You braid it, right?
	You braid it, and then you just... I need new friends.
	That's one of my taffy boys out there.
	Taffy boys?
	I'm tired.
	This week is pretty much, and it is late everyone sorry, this week is pretty much the opposite of a packed show which is odd because they didn't have a show on Monday.
	We're covering Tuesday the 13th episode of Louder with Crowder.
	Not sure why Monday didn't happen.
	Did they think it was President's Day?
	Maybe.
	I would guess honestly it's probably because they spent all day Monday assembling the conveyor belts that they use to get the Everyone loves Raymond intro.
	We'll talk about that in a sec.
	It was really good.
	No holiday really jumped out at me, so I did some research.
	Still, they couldn't have been observing any of these real holidays.
	NWACP Day, Darwin Day.
	Maybe it was Lincoln's birthday that they were thinking?
	Like they were off a week?
	It's certainly not National Freedom to Marry Day.
	Definitely not.
	So it's either Paul Bunyan Day or Clean out your computer day.
	Oh, yeah, that's clear.
	Do we talk about this as is Paul Bunyan a kaiju?
	We I think we may have brought that up at the end of Something we did something we talked about aside.
	I'm gonna say for the sake of moving forward.
	Yes.
	Yes Either way Jared mentioned it the everybody loves mug club.
	Everybody loves Raymond parody bit that opened up the show Dry as hell Not good.
	In my head I was like, this is from 1996.
	I couldn't get over that.
	It was just, this year just is imprinted into this podcast for some reason.
	96?
	I think it was probably a little bit later.
	He was nine years old in 96.
	No, I think everyone loves Raymond from 96.
	Steven was nine years old in 96.
	I don't know, it really highlights the era he's locked into, pop culture wise.
	And we'll get into that a bit later with, you know, some of his Super Bowl reactions.
	But also tonight we're gonna be talking about that defense budget package that passed.
	You know, standard comedy show stuff.
	Great, I love it.
	Yeah, hilarious.
	Also, there was a shooting at Joel Osteen's megachurch.
	Okay.
	And as with every shooting that wasn't done by a cis white supremacist, they must be transgender.
	Who else is doing this stuff?
	It's mostly trans, actually.
	It's kind of what he's pitching.
	Seems like it.
	We'll talk about that.
	But yeah, this week, Jared, I did watch the show on Rumble.
	I have some observations.
	Okay.
	Surrounded by ads.
	I mean, I'm not even talking about like the pre-roll ads, which are usually, I don't know.
	Did it feel like you were watching?
	You shot someone.
	What next?
	Call us.
	But it's like AI voice?
	Sure.
	Just because you shot them doesn't mean you're guilty.
	Yeah, someone was also selling a fake Trump gold dollar bill coin, which was- Hell yeah, nice.
	That's great.
	Combine everything I love, baby.
	And they used a Trump voice with that as well.
	Good deep fake?
	I guess I have that Trump coin you got me for Christmas on there.
	Oh, I forgot I got you that!
	A gold trump coin.
	Where did I get that?
	But around the video there's ads like Ivermectin.
	We've got you covered.
	Providing you with Ivermectin.
	Even now.
	Still.
	Still using it.
	That's impressive.
	Was it like you were watching Ow My Balls?
	I don't know what that is.
	From Idiocracy?
	Like the ads all around the TV with the video just in the center?
	There's three ads.
	Okay, that's too many.
	Yeah, that means a lot.
	Food Buckets, of course.
	Hell yeah, Food Buckets.
	Survival food.
	Emergency.
	Yeah, and then Truly Office, which is a way to take back control from tech tyrants.
	It's a Word and Spreadsheets clone.
	It's called Truly Office?
	That says, uh, fuck you to Clippy.
	Fuck Clippy, dude.
	Well, that's what they think.
	Are you doing a resume?
	The last time I saw Clippy, I had actually pulled him apart and then cleaned my freaking pipe with it.
	Guys, before I forget, how'd you sleep?
	I slept good.
	Yeah?
	Yeah, I think so.
	I gotta tell you guys, not a lot of hours last night.
	Not a lot of hours.
	I slept about 8.5.
	That's a lot.
	That's a good amount of hours.
	Not about 5.
	I'm gonna get 4 tomorrow.
	I have to be up at 6 in the morning to go to the gym.
	A sad moment happened to me this morning.
	What was it?
	And I don't usually get personal on this show.
	You know how iPhones will, if you do something around the same time on a regular basis, it'll remind you?
	It's like, do you want to go to Target?
	Every day at about 6.30, I put on Ben Shapiro's show.
	Oh no.
	There's something about, something about his voice is, I don't know, soothing, but at the same time kind of like... Is that your alarm?
	Uh, no.
	I don't think you can have it on.
	It's kind of like a caffeine does, like it's... I don't know what it does, but my phone reminded me.
	It kind of like spikes your adrenaline.
	My phone said, do you want to listen to the Ben Shapiro Show?
	Nice.
	Yeah.
	One time mine was like, I got in the car and it's like, do you want directions to this place?
	And I didn't remember the location.
	Oh, wow.
	So I wanted to be like, yeah, let's, I'm being summoned.
	Let's go.
	Like, how did you know?
	Yeah, of course I want to go there.
	If I go to sleep right now, I can get seven hours of sleep.
	Oh, do it.
	I'm sorry about that, buddy.
	Oh, man.
	That'll be fun for everyone to kind of calculate from start right now.
	It's 1130 p.m.
	here, central.
	So we can just say at the end, this is how much sleep Jared's going to get.
	So that's how we are sleeping.
	Gerald Morgan, CEO number two.
	Captain, how are you?
	I'm doing well.
	I think I'm almost done with the cough.
	How are you?
	Sick.
	I just, you know, it's a breathing thing.
	I'm sure I have the COVID and something else, but hey, I'm still here working.
	Long-form COVID.
	Yes.
	Fantastic.
	It's the long COVID.
	Not the short COVID.
	Not to be confused with the short COVID.
	Yeah.
	No.
	Long COVID.
	Everyone has long COVID.
	It's just being sick.
	Question of the day.
	Do you have long COVID out there?
	Are you struggling with it?
	Do you get disability?
	Some people's COVIDs are longer than others.
	Some people's COVID, that's true.
	But you know what?
	It's not the length of the COVID.
	It's the girth.
	The intensity!
	Yeah, Steven gave everyone COVID-19.
	Great.
	I love it.
	Again!
	Another one!
	This is like week three?
	Of them being sick?
	Off of this kick right now.
	You know, it takes a while to recover from COVID-19, but they refuse to, you know, stay home.
	Why don't they hit up that Ivermectin ad?
	That's true, the ad on the side, that would help too.
	Interesting, should have.
	But also in the studio, probably sick but maybe asymptomatic.
	It's Josh, I'll say that.
	Josh Feierstein.
	Strong Josh.
	I cannot stop seeing backwards red cap Starbucks guy when you say that name.
	What does that mean?
	That guy was named Josh Feuerstein.
	And who is this guy?
	He had a red backwards cap.
	Is this a local guy?
	No.
	You're talking about... From Starbucks!
	You're talking about mega church Fred Durst.
	Yeah, exactly.
	You know him.
	See, I don't know him, but... You know him.
	He goes to Dunkin Donuts or Starbucks or whatever and he gets like nine coffees.
	He's like, I gotta drink these throughout the day.
	I don't want to do that right now.
	I got a whole show.
	Oh, you want my name?
	My name's Merry goddamn Christmas.
	Is that what he said?
	Yes!
	That kind of stuff, yes.
	Yeah guys, I'm increasingly concerned about this Josh, because it is official.
	I am good.
	I'm actually really good this morning.
	Yeah?
	I just sold my house.
	Good for you!
	I sold my house yesterday.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Blackrock gave me a great deal.
	Did they?
	Yeah, it's cash only, so.
	Good.
	But yeah, no.
	I liked it.
	Looks like Josh is officially a Texan.
	Wow.
	It's official.
	He's a Texan.
	So good for him and his career.
	Things are gonna be on the up and up and it's never gonna end.
	Steven won't leave him high and dry and he won't be left with a career that can't be transformed.
	Yeah, of course.
	No, I think that this is actually a stepping stone.
	Not a stain.
	To greatness.
	Of course.
	Not a stain at all.
	Yeah, and that guy does look fun.
	The backwards hat guy you showed me during the clip.
	Oh, he is fun.
	Is he inspirational?
	He's a man of adventure.
	What we'll see later in the show, Josh is increasingly comfortable and actively participating in Crowder-style behavior, so I gotta say... Oh no.
	Praying for you, Josh.
	I thought I could save you!
	I'm hoping that we can!
	You were supposed to be the chosen one!
	He's the only person patient enough to be third chair as frequently as he is for Steve and Crowder, but we'll see how long that lasts.
	Did we ever do an episode of the show during Cultural Appropriation Month?
	It's a yearly thing that Steven does where they dress up like different cultures and do funny accents.
	Oh, I've seen it.
	Yes.
	Yeah, we've seen a clip from it, but I don't think we've been around for it yet.
	No, we haven't.
	That will happen at some point.
	I mean, maybe not right away because before June is Cultural Appropriation Month.
	Cultural Appropriation Month because appropriation is celebration.
	Something to look forward to.
	This isn't that.
	Of course, it's Black History Month, which is great, but not on this show.
	So today, I don't know if you know this, we celebrate Black History Month.
	Oh, happy Black History Month.
	Happy Black History Month.
	I forgot, sorry.
	Time for Black History Facts.
	Black History Facts.
	And there's an overlay that is, of course, in graffiti.
	Cool.
	Yes, and, uh, you know, the generic hip-hop music.
	Yeah, yeah, right?
	Audio jungle.
	Here are some fun facts.
	Yeah, I love facts.
	Here's a fact for you.
	Henry Blair is the first black man to be identified on a U.S.
	patent application.
	Well, that's good.
	He patented, in 1834, the corn seed planter.
	In 1836, the cotton seed planter.
	Those are good patents.
	Awesome.
	Good job.
	Another fast fact.
	African-American nurse Mary Van Britten Brown, long name, her name is my name too, invented the home security system in 1966.
	Really?
	That's almost like insider trading.
	Fast fact number three.
	In 1947, of course, the famous baseball player Jackie Robinson invented stealing bases.
	That's been Black History Month.
	He also invented robbing the home run.
	He did.
	He also invented giving a team an unfair advantage.
	The NBA just rolled with it.
	His wife's a big fan of the no-hitter.
	Hey!
	She got a patent.
	What the fuck is that?
	It's just, um, I don't know, shameful, gross racism.
	Yeesh.
	Yeah, it's definitely not the, uh, five pillars of hip hop.
	That's what I thought they were going to get into with the graffiti overlay.
	That's what you were expecting?
	No historical knowledge of the movement, no b-boying, no DJing, and of course, no lyricism.
	Just graffiti.
	Graffiti and, uh, saying, I don't know, black people steal.
	Yeah, Jackie Robinson definitely out there just stealing.
	That was what he was mostly known for.
	It's very nice of him to point that out.
	And then the home security system being insider trading.
	Yeah, yeah, you know just it makes me so let it that take a bite just sniff Don't breathe it in too hard, but just take a sniff of that.
	There's really nothing.
	It's not much else.
	I don't say He just was racist a whole bunch in and calls it comedy.
	This is just week one good So I've noticed a trend this year with concert of dink donks Pretending to be too good for the Super Bowl and also pretending to have seen it but still talking a lot about how woke the commercials were But, uh, Stephen, I think I believe him that he saw it, and I don't know if his excuse is real, but... I was at a restaurant and so the Super Bowl happened to be on.
	Definitely wasn't watching it.
	And then Reba... So it was an accident?
	Was it mooters?
	And then Reba came on screen and I threw up in my mouth a little.
	Reba, huh?
	That was before the Super Bowl even started.
	How early does he eat at a restaurant?
	That was like four o'clock in the afternoon.
	Maybe it was a late lunch or an early dinner, but either way he was talking with a guy sitting next to him.
	I think that Steven was at a bar?
	I don't think he was anywhere.
	I think he was just with friends watching and he doesn't want to talk about it.
	I don't know.
	We'll hear it in his own voice, but I'm just gonna call bullshit just preemptively.
	There was a guy there, he was like, Reba, that's my girl.
	And I said, really?
	You like her?
	I said, yeah, I don't like socialists who make money off of real Americans.
	He was like, what?
	I said, yeah, her little gun buyback.
	Remember, if you hand in your gun with proof, you get a free Reba album at Walmart.
	Yeah, she really misread the room on that one.
	What are you going to shoot the album with if you just gave them your gun?
	Well, to be fair, she wasn't, it wasn't socialist.
	He was just collecting more guns.
	Yeah, exactly.
	First of all, she was not giving away free copies of her CD with proof of gun buyback at Walmart.
	You'd be surprised.
	He's wrong, entirely.
	She was not giving away free copies of her CD with proof of gun buyback at Walmart.
	The gun buyback program was part of a 2000... no, pardon me, 1990...
	Oh cool, nice.
	30 years ago.
	For her album Read My Mind, which this is similar to around the same time the Dallas Cowboys were doing this, offering free tickets, not free albums, to her show When You Turn In A Gun.
	Can't be a BB gun or a starter pistol.
	The heart is a lonely hunter till you love me.
	Was that on that album?
	She thinks his name is John.
	Yeah, these are all the hits.
	Dude, those are hits, yeah.
	Straight hit after hit after hit.
	You don't know that song?
	I don't.
	I'm pretty Reba Blind, which is actually why I was enjoying dicking... What's a couple of Reba Bros?
	So she said quote if oh, this is okay, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, but this is like this is like Yeah, yeah, like I this is the one I recognize.
	I don't know any of these songs.
	Okay, just the album I was just like helping Dennis out.
	We were trying to feel cool together Well in 1994 she said if only one gun gets off the street that will be good because maybe it'll be one less gun that won't show up in a classroom.
	And keep in mind this was five years before Columbine and in 1994 there were still at least 25 school shootings.
	That's crazy that one, that there's that many, and two, that my first thought was comparing it to Columbine.
	Columbine, of course.
	Pre-Columbine.
	Yeah, crazy.
	I mean, woke.
	Sorry, I didn't mean crazy.
	I meant woke as shit.
	Great, great point.
	As caring as this offer was, not many folks took her up on it.
	They would do it six days ahead of her performance.
	They collected 13 guns in Hampton, Virginia, six in St.
	George, Utah, 29 in Baltimore, Maryland, 49 in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
	Rest of Tulsa, huh?
	And I mean more in different cities, but those were the ones I was able to pull.
	All that to say, it's a woke thing for Reba to do.
	It was cool, you know, relatively inoffensive and certainly not worthy of calling her a gun-grabbing socialist.
	I don't know man, she's singing a song.
	Was he maybe thinking about her like in Tremors?
	Well, I certainly was.
	That's my Reba.
	That's a big gun scene.
	The prepper gun-toting survivalist in the Tremors.
	I haven't seen it.
	Wait a second.
	I have not seen Tremors.
	Wait, let's take a break.
	Let's watch it.
	You haven't seen the big worm horror film Tremors starring Kevin Bacon?
	I share a birthday with Kevin Bacon.
	Interesting.
	So Reba also, she's fairly apolitical for the most part, which might be the reason that Steven thinks that she's a Nashville phony.
	She is.
	Even though she was born in Oklahoma, started a family country band as a child, became a schoolteacher who would sing at rodeos on occasion.
	She was a schoolteacher?
	Yeah.
	Adorable.
	Singing at rodeos and that's where she was discovered in 1975.
	It sounds like, I don't know, pretty salt of the earth country to me.
	Yeah, it sounds like a classic tale.
	Right.
	Mrs. McIntyre turned into Reba.
	Nashville Phony.
	She's got some bullshit.
	That was her demo album, actually.
	She's got good crits here.
	Do you remember that movie North?
	Oh, I didn't like it.
	It was scary.
	It was a weird movie, for sure.
	What about her sitcom?
	She had an entire sitcom.
	I'm aware.
	I'm aware of that.
	Is that bad?
	That's fine.
	Never seen it.
	Okay.
	2021, she had to make a statement on Twitter after her name was erroneously attached to a political fundraising event in Montana, saying, Which, uh, probably bummed out Steven, I guess.
	an invitation to a political fundraiser with my name attached was sent out without my knowledge or permission.
	I had and have no plans to attend this event and have told the event organizers as such. Throughout my career
	I've stated that I do not get involved in politics and that remains true today."
	Which probably bummed out Steven, I guess. Also could have been the
	disappointment that she shared in response to Tennessee anti-drag laws in an interview in the Los Angeles Times
	just a couple years ago.
	The interviewer said, What do you think about the bill that Tennessee Governor Bill Lee recently signed into law restricting drag performances in certain parts of the state?
	She said, I wish they would spend that much time and energy and money on feeding the homeless children in those two counties.
	They asked, Were you surprised the bill passed?
	And she said, Disappointed.
	You've been around long enough that I have to assume you've known plenty of politicians in Nashville and Tennessee.
	Ever get involved in a race or campaign?
	I don't do politics.
	Never have.
	My job is to entertain.
	I'm not here to influence people one way or another how to vote.
	Yet, you know, your take on the drag bill is potentially alienating to some of your audience and she responded, boy, why?
	Boy, why?
	Yes, exactly.
	I mean, we've got a real problem in this country and to be worrying about men wanting to dress up as women?
	God bless them to wear those high heels.
	I feel for them, but let's center our attention on something that really needs attention.
	And I would say maybe she should redirect that attention to the fact that trans people are being actively targeted, but... She's friends with Darius Rucker.
	Ooh, just got... Wagon wheel, dude.
	He just got arrested for drugs.
	Oh, shit.
	That's cool.
	Drugs are cool.
	Like what?
	Like a little cocaine, a little weed or something?
	Well, Steven's bar top friend thought something was cool.
	And then the guy was like, well, you know, I met her and I just said, I'm sorry.
	And I went back to watching the show.
	They call her Reba McInfire.
	Hey, come on.
	They don't call her that.
	Not anymore.
	Jolene!
	Jolene!
	Wait, is that Reba McIntyre?
	No, that's Dolly.
	That's Dolly.
	Close enough.
	It's a good song, though.
	Close enough for me.
	It's the same people.
	Oh, Josh.
	Same people.
	Bunch of idiots.
	Yeah, it's not the last time that we'll hear Josh making a mistake live on the air, but... Great.
	It's okay.
	He's doing his best.
	How do you get Dolly confused with Reba?
	Yeah, Nashville phonies.
	Yeah.
	Nashville bronies.
	Excuse me?
	We're Nashville Bronies.
	Guys, you're really tired.
	You can't just fucking free associate Nashville Bronies.
	Steven wants to say one more time.
	I saw the Super Bowl accidentally and then I was watching it going, hold on a second, so we have a giant ad for Pfizer and then for Microsoft an AI app.
	Yeah.
	And then of course Jesus watching a genderqueer, I'm like, they're trying to, they're exterminating you.
	They want to get rid of you.
	They want to make money off of you first.
	Well, yeah, yeah.
	You got to take the money then exterminate.
	Yes.
	So if you watched it, you probably saw, and there are a few layers to this, of course, Gerald who has a, you know, a background in, what do you say, theology?
	Theology.
	Whatever it is.
	Bigotry.
	Those boys are ticked off about a commercial big surprise.
	There's always one commercial.
	The only thing more frustrating than the commercial is accidentally spending four hours watching a show.
	Whoops!
	Whoops-a-daisy!
	Go get your wings somewhere else, Stephen.
	The commercial of He Gets Us, and it was featuring images of people washing feet as, you know, a reference to Christ, this new agape, woke Christianity.
	You know, apostasy, as we used to call it.
	Heresy, to the uninitiated.
	And here you go.
	Like I said, I didn't see the Super Bowl and I hadn't seen this commercial until today.
	And Dennis, you hadn't seen it until I showed you right before the show.
	Yeah, I came in half way through the show.
	Jared, did you see the He Gets Us commercial?
	Feet washing one?
	Is that what you're talking about?
	Yeah.
	Humble yourself, take a knee and kiss the feet of your friends.
	That's basically, I guess that's the message.
	Yeah, I saw like little things.
	There was another one too.
	Oh, that wasn't the only one?
	There were two.
	There was one of like super muscular Jesus washing feet.
	Oh, wow.
	Or something like that.
	Well, the one I saw has like a white son washing his dad's feet, a Hispanic cop cleaning a black man's feet, a popular girl cleaning an edgy, possibly queer teen's feet, a rancher washing a Native American, a daughter cleaned by her mother in front of a family planning facility, a daughter cleaning her mother's feet, and the mother is an alcoholic.
	A climate activist being cleaned by an oil worker, a migrant young woman with a baby being cleaned by a suburban woman.
	It goes on Muslim, free speech protesters, Gary Oldman looking guy and a Morgan Freeman looking guy sitting on a porch with their tootsies in a wash tub.
	Yeah, tootsies in a tub.
	And this is the one that's really upset them.
	It's a priest cleaning a black roller skater's feet and it's implied that the black man is gay.
	Okay.
	And then it says, Jesus didn't teach hate, Jesus washed feet.
	He gets us, all of us, wikifeet.com.
	Jesus.
	Okay.
	It's different.
	Well, they kind of lock into that concept as well.
	Oh.
	Well, you wouldn't think that they would if they consider this whole, like, Jesus washing the feet of his enemies as, like, a relevant part of their religion.
	Yeah, isn't that one of the Ten Commandments?
	Jesus cleaned Judas's feet.
	That's a pretty strong statement considering what Judas did to Jesus, but... I don't really want to talk about that.
	This is the thing that really... I said this about compassionate conservatism.
	Jesus didn't teach hate.
	Okay, so I think this is what bothers you.
	Let's put a fine point on it.
	If I'm against Drag Queen Story Hour, I hate.
	If I'm against children being removed from their parents because they don't want to put them on puberty blockers at 6, 8, 10 years old, is that hate?
	If I don't want a gay pride float, for example, in the state of California where you don't have to disclose your HIV because that would be hateful, and I don't want a man masturbating going down Main Street, that's hate?
	Yeah, you hateful bastard.
	Josh is right.
	He's a hateful bastard.
	Yeah.
	Josh, you can still be saved.
	Come here, I'll wash your feet.
	I don't want to touch Josh's feet.
	I don't know about them things.
	This is the typical Steve and Crowder list of many things.
	Some more offensive than others.
	Yes, absolutely.
	The California HIV status float situation?
	No idea what you're talking about.
	What the fuck?
	As he starts, like, letting off his troubled woes, it always just sounds like a damn balloon just squeezing at the entry point, you know?
	I think what he's doing is referencing that California has no statute criminalizing HIV transmission or exposure, which might be uncommon, I guess, but for him to say that... Yeah, I love it.
	Sometimes I feel like I'm stating the obvious, but...
	It's just because these things aren't like normal in my world.
	They have beliefs like this.
	Yeah, I'm gonna add this to the list of people that Stephen hasn't met before.
	Yes, the guys continue talking about scripture, and I don't know...
	They horny for this shit.
	I mean, he said, Jacob I loved, Esau I hated.
	There were definitely times in scripture where he was talking about that.
	And they're trying to make Jesus out to be this like, hey, everybody's okay, man.
	Look, if you look at the feet-washing thing, he washed, in one instance, disciples' feet.
	Right.
	And if you want to make it the case where he washed his enemy's feet, because that's what the tweet said.
	You say feets.
	Feets.
	In the feetses.
	Yes.
	He washed the enemy's feet.
	The last place you want to be is washing a man's foot.
	Hit the YouTube dump button.
	Yes You're like it's worth it.
	Yes Sorry about that.
	I should have given a bit of a heads up.
	They also all kind of take turns saying that slur Okay, so this is actually what I missed on YouTube.
	Oh, yes, you heard the pretty pretty long gap I had to do a little fast forward a lot of YouTube dumping this week was mostly because of transphobic hate which yeah, no surprise there They continue Right?
	He washed the feet of one enemy.
	Judas was at the table, but he didn't let Judas just kind of continue on and not call him out on his stuff.
	That was Jesus.
	His whole MO was like, I'm going to go anywhere I want to go.
	I'm going to go reach the unreached, the people that are untouchable, the people that are hated by everybody.
	But I'm going with a message that you have to change your life.
	I didn't leave them there and continue letting these people be my disciples, even though they were completely in the life of sin that they had.
	And I think that's what's missing here.
	And I'm a little disappointed because I had seen some of these ads before.
	I'm not super familiar with it, but the ones that I had seen before, I was like, good.
	Not this one, though.
	No, this one's woke bullshit.
	It's woke bullshit.
	I think this is a really powerful commercial, and they have a problem with it because, well... They don't understand turn-the-other-cheek kind of a thing.
	They keep bringing up the fact that a white man is cleaning a black person's feet, but not the other way around.
	Yeah, exactly.
	They're missing the full.
	Why?
	If you help people who you think are lesser than you because you're a racist piece of crap, it makes you less of a person.
	And what they're missing is that all of these situations are like social injustices that are being... Resolved.
	Yes.
	By finding common ground on Jesus.
	In Jesus.
	Yeah.
	And we're sure it's not in Jesus.
	Yes.
	This is just saying, be tolerant of everything.
	Jesus was not.
	This is a guy who threw over tables in the temple because they were selling figs.
	You think he would have been fine with a drag queen story hour?
	No.
	He called people out.
	He was very confrontational.
	Yes.
	To sin.
	People he loved.
	He didn't want anybody to be caught in sin, but he would tell them, hey, you can't keep going on living like that.
	And this ad just made it look like all of these things were supposed to be acceptable.
	And by the way, there was only one black person in that ad washing feet, and it was of a Hispanic person.
	They could not find a way to make a black person wash the feet of a white person in that ad.
	But they could make white people Wash the feet of black people in the ad.
	And that was totally fine.
	Right.
	I'm like, what are we going after here?
	I don't see myself represented in this commercial.
	And I'm the biggest Christian that I know.
	Oh no.
	Hey, I'm a victim too.
	Why wasn't I in that?
	Oh, stay humble.
	Go fuck yourselves.
	I mean, yeah, Gerald, I think he's completely missing the point or more likely disagrees with the point.
	He disagrees with the point.
	Heresy.
	This show is just, you know, racism the podcast.
	And one time Jesus flipped the table.
	Exactly.
	They're using the intolerating the intolerant paradox.
	You can't say that if you're tolerant, you have to be tolerant of intolerance.
	It just doesn't make sense.
	And also, didn't Jesus die for, like, everyone's sins?
	I mean, mine.
	So what is- At least mine too, and I'm not gonna pay him nothing for that.
	Yeah.
	Oh, thanks man.
	Thank you.
	Did you know I got saved four times?
	Nice, dude, you're going to a four-level heaven.
	Yeah, as a kid, I never really understood what was going on, but at the end of the Easter passion plays I'd go to with my cousins, they'd say, is anyone in the audience who wants to be saved or isn't saved?
	And I'm like, I don't know what that is.
	Is that me?
	And I'd raise my hand.
	Then I'd go in a back room and let Jesus into my heart.
	Nice.
	And I'd go, oh, I remember this.
	I remember this.
	But I was too... From before.
	Kind of uncomfortable.
	You don't say, oh, actually, I actually was saved.
	Do you think that your body knows you already have Jesus and rejects second Jesus?
	Another Jesus tries to not come in and they're like, oh, actually.
	I'm already here.
	Oh, cool.
	Sorry.
	Yeah.
	I don't know.
	Tolerance and sin.
	Did you, did you drink the blood though?
	I didn't drink any blood.
	That's Catholic shit.
	That's either way.
	Tolerance and Sin, I guess it's just in the eye of the crowder.
	They do a run on feet jokes that Josh Feierstein has a foot fetish and then play a collection of clips from Quentin Tarantino films because Quentin Tarantino has a foot fetish.
	I've never heard that before.
	It's totally like a unique perspective that pop culture hasn't talked about.
	It's possible that his, like, core audience would have no fucking clue.
	Well, because they're all 45 to 60 year old men.
	I guess they probably saw at least us till dawn.
	All right, well, it is kind of sexy.
	Who thought that was sexy?
	By the way, people are not crazy about this ad.
	It has 3.4 thousand likes to 44 thousand dislikes.
	Yes!
	So it didn't quite work out how they thought it would, and you can let us... It's just, I tuned into the Super Bowl, and this is...
	These people hate you.
	But what bothers me more than leftists being leftists, I don't really, Jon Stewart back at the Daily Show?
	Fine.
	You know where he lines up.
	At least he's open about it.
	But the NFL wants to make money off of Middle America when playing the Black National Anthem, advertising Pfizer by a guy who dresses like Liberace in his off time, and then at the same time trying to collect their dues from you.
	Hey, just stop watching them.
	I get that you like the sports ball.
	We all have to make some sacrifices.
	You like to sports ball too, Steven.
	Do you think that they're pissed that the whole taking a knee while getting vaccinated and supporting Joe Biden at the 50-yard line thing didn't happen?
	Now what now?
	It did happen.
	That's why they're pissed.
	They're pissed because it was successful, dude.
	I missed it.
	I really, really liked Joe Biden's response.
	You like Dirk Brandon?
	Yeah, Dark Brandon came out and he was wearing the contacts and they dimmed all the lights down in the stadium.
	The red just kind of lit up the whole place, you know?
	Yeah, that was cool.
	Taylor Swift got lowered down from the rafters.
	Or really from the Goodyear blimp, I thought it was, maybe.
	Vote for Dark Brandon!
	Every vote for Dark Brandon is a vote against the conservative party!
	And if you vote conservative, you're no fan of mine!
	Kelsey Brothers showed up and they were doing the fucking Left Shark dance.
	Remember that?
	They brought him out and stuff.
	Left Shark.
	He's like, dude, he's the new gritty.
	He's the fucking communist now.
	He turned around, he pointed at his back and it said Marx on it.
	And on the front it said, like, you know, what about the means of production?
	It was so fast.
	It was so fast.
	Yeah, like a lot was happening.
	Wow.
	Damn, I should have tuned in.
	You missed a lot.
	No one's talking about this.
	Oh, Usher.
	Yeah, okay.
	Yeah, Usher was really good, but... I heard he was good, but everyone was like he didn't do any rituals.
	Yeah, none of rituals.
	Played it safe.
	He played it safe.
	Are we at all going to be talking about the Ice Spice Satanic Ritual Demon Summoning Hand Gestures?
	No, I didn't notice she did that.
	She was one of Taylor's guests.
	Yeah, I'm aware of that.
	And rumor has it that she was doing some demon summoning hand signals while Taylor Swift was chugging a beer.
	I swear to God, I thought we got Dude, no.
	There's a ritual.
	You haven't seen that?
	Yeah, yeah.
	You haven't seen that?
	Yeah, yeah.
	No, but with all of this said, Steven mentioning that we need to boycott the NFL
	because they're not creating a league targeted at the consumers, middle America.
	I already have.
	They're just living their life.
	Well, Josh kind of misses the point and ruins Steven's.
	Largest audience of any broadcast ever on Sunday.
	Was this Super Bowl?
	Yeah, second.
	It's now surpassed, I should say, it surpassed the moon landing.
	Really?
	Was number one viewed of all time this Super Bowl on Sunday.
	Most watched program in history.
	Oh, well.
	Sounds like the NFL is doing it right, actually.
	I don't know about you, but I only watched it accidentally.
	123.4 million?
	Yeah, it's a lot.
	They're kind of welcoming nature to, I don't know, everyone.
	It's kind of working out in their favor.
	Yeah, I mean Taylor Swift dating Travis Kelce has made the Chiefs so much money.
	It's true.
	So much.
	It's brought a lot of enjoyment to a lot of people, you know.
	I weeped a bit in my car to that commercial where that dad put his arm over his daughter and the dad was wearing the Taylor Swift beaded bracelets.
	I didn't see that.
	Ugh, melts the heart.
	I didn't see any of the commercials.
	It's bringing everyone together.
	I like the NFL.
	I think they're doing a good job.
	I think they're doing better.
	Yeah, sure.
	They still have some problematic things, but yeah.
	All right, enough of that nonsense.
	What do you think Stephen ate?
	Wings.
	I have a plate of chicken and black bean nachos.
	Either way, here's a palate cleanser, boys.
	Okay, cool, cool, cool.
	It's the woke word of the day.
	Well, that's right.
	We have to do this.
	Yeah, we have to.
	It's to sort of clear the palate.
	Today's woke word of the day.
	With Louder With Crowder, learning is fun.
	In the jungle.
	Hi, I'm Josh Firestein.
	And I'm PJ.
	And we're here to share today's Woke Word of the Day.
	That's right.
	And today's word is a really fun word.
	It's trigger warning.
	Trigger warning?
	Yeah, trigger warning is like when you're hanging out with your buddies or your friends out in the field.
	And you're all hanging out, about to get your stuff done.
	Then someone goes, rage hot!
	What the?
	What the fuck?
	The fuck?
	That's what you say.
	That's trigger.
	Are you trying to blow all my eardrums?
	No, just letting you know.
	The f**k is wrong with you?
	Fking ck a** crackhead.
	Suck my d**k!
	Learning is fun.
	Wow.
	Great job, Josh.
	It was great.
	They take time to do so much.
	Yeah.
	And yet their show just suffers in quality.
	I think he's worse and worse every week.
	I don't know what's going on.
	A lot of court dates.
	I don't want to say it, but yeah, like the number of legitimate research segments with actual content.
	It's just, it's just not here.
	Slim pickings.
	It really is.
	So I really fucking hate tackling these budget segments.
	And I think I actually might skip a bunch of these clips because basically they discuss the new bill that passed.
	It's this $95.3 billion defense spending bill.
	Are you aware of what's going on here?
	A little bit.
	60 billion in funding going to Ukraine's war against Russia.
	I don't know, just to put that in perspective, we have a $842 billion defense budget, so it's not a lot, but we do typically spend money like this on foreign conflicts.
	Yeah, well, I mean, same reason that my neighbor's house was on fire, and so I put it out with my hose.
	You use your hose?
	Do you build them later?
	No, I should.
	So, Stephen proposes that they, whoever that is... Yeah, the big scary... They know that Trump, if not removed from the ballot or arrested, removed from the possibility of running, he will be elected president.
	And that there will be questions afterwards from the left about the legitimacy of the election, of course, because that's what we do.
	Wait a second.
	There's gonna be more impeachments, which maybe, I don't know, as well as... There will be all the time.
	Yeah, I hate that.
	That's really upsetting to me.
	There's also gonna be contingency plans like this bill.
	So I guess let's dive in.
	I don't want to do this.
	And just to be clear, when I say $60 billion for Ukraine, it's not $60 billion for Ukraine.
	It's $60 billion for defense and weapons contractors.
	What?
	Who get this money.
	Raytheon, right, these companies that are owned by BlackRock.
	And we're actually going to do a segment fact-checking the Robert Kennedy Jr.
	Robert F. Kennedy Jr., I have to do the whole name.
	Because he got fact-checked by Instagram or Twitter, sorry, labeled misinformation, where he discussed this.
	Yeah.
	And they just admitted it on CNN this morning at around 8 40 a.m.
	Eastern that to be clear this bill will go to American defense contractors.
	Then they say that you're being conspiratorial.
	So 60 billion to Ukraine is 60 billion to private corporations who have these guaranteed no-bid contracts and they never obviously have to pay it back.
	So, I just want to say, I don't love that our tax dollars, that we have such a significant military budget.
	I think that sucks.
	But how do they think we manufacture military arms?
	Yeah, well, it's... Of course they go to defense contractors and the people who make the most guns at scale.
	Yes.
	Not Uncle Jim's custom shoots.
	Well, it reminds me of when people say that we shouldn't spend money on going to space as if we're not spending that money on businesses that do those things.
	Yeah.
	It's not like we just put the money in a jar and send it out to space itself.
	Like that money is being spent in businesses.
	And I could be a little ignorant on this topic.
	I am ignorant, I'll tell you that.
	Obviously, there's probably corruption within these contracts.
	There is, yeah.
	Yeah, I mean, it's not like they get fucking paid.
	I just, I don't know what the alternative that Stephen's looking for.
	I mean, I do know he wants Russia to take the Donbass region, 15% of Ukraine.
	Yeah.
	Well, and I'll say this, that there is good value in us supporting our allies.
	Sure.
	Yeah.
	But it's kind of like, if they're like, well, we should spend this money on our homeless vets instead, but they're also anti those bills.
	Just like the border bill that they refuse to pass because it's political.
	Yep.
	Yeah.
	Donnie said, don't do it.
	Don't do it or I'll break your leg.
	That's what he said, I thought.
	This is what the fish is.
	Why does expanding the American industrial manufacturing base not include you?
	So what it means is, yep, Boeing, when we're talking about Raytheon, BlackRock, American Airlines, I mean, Aetna, whoever inserted here, GM, Ford, it doesn't include someone who maybe owns five to ten rental properties and can't boot those people who aren't paying their rent.
	It doesn't include the people who own restaurants or local coffee shops.
	Or maybe a local bodega or gas station.
	It never includes you!
	You know, I've always wanted to be a bodega owner.
	Oh, yeah?
	Yep.
	I was actually thinking about that the other day.
	I used to do that.
	It could actually be pretty fun.
	Yeah, you did work at a, I mean, technically what could be considered a bodega for quite some time.
	Yeah, we don't really have that up there.
	I don't know.
	Let's go back to COVID.
	Let's keep talking about COVID and the eviction moratorium.
	There was plenty of government funding that would have went to the landlords.
	You just have to help them with whatever renter's assistance, and then you take that money.
	That's just how it works.
	There was a program for that.
	And also, get over it.
	It was a while ago, Steven.
	And it's also, like, wrapping up right now.
	Yeah, which is fucked up.
	And it's causing, like, a whole other mess of problems that we're dealing with.
	But also, people work at Boeing, and people work at GM.
	These are some blue-collar jobs.
	Of course, and Steven seems like he'd be really pro-corporation anyway, like in general.
	Yeah!
	It's confu- well, he's just that right now.
	Of course, yeah.
	And that's how it- Well, yeah, when it's convenient to be.
	Yeah.
	But it's like, he's not gonna advocate for those people at Boeing or anything, right?
	Of course not.
	Like, I know somebody who worked for a long time as a machinist for Boeing and they were making like $17 an hour.
	Well, I mean, that's a problem.
	Yeah.
	That's a big problem.
	Bad news.
	But to say BlackRock and GE in the same breath and then wind it up by talking about bodega owners?
	It's disingenuous.
	Seems genuine to me.
	Oh, okay.
	Well, I must have missed some of their post-Tucker and Russia talk.
	I'm sure they went big into it.
	I didn't hear that, but we get a little bit of that here.
	No, and especially with the interview that Tucker Carlson did with Vladimir Putin and the allegations that there have been peace talks that have been cut off by Boris Johnson and the United States.
	Yes.
	Why?
	Whose interest?
	By the way, that is absolutely true.
	You can see that.
	There's a record of it.
	It wasn't just him saying it.
	He may have lied about other things.
	That is 100% verifiably true.
	Why do you have a vested interest in keeping these going?
	Oh, you want to degrade the military capacity of Russia by slaughtering Ukrainian citizens?
	Hundreds of thousands?
	Like, you think that's a goal that we should be aiming for right now instead of having peace over there?
	So let's clear this up.
	Boris Johnson did say that after two months of trying to negotiate peace talks without any actual agreement of terms and Russia refusing to budge on a handful of significant elements that would be important to the sovereignty of the Ukraine.
	So at the end of that, he's like, I guess we got to call it.
	Well, it's the same thing.
	If somebody were to break into Stephen's house and said, hey, listen, your garage belongs to me now.
	Wouldn't you hope that your friends would encourage you to go against that perspective?
	Well, after negotiation broke down and they said, uh, I actually get this corner of your garage still.
	Yeah, no, I still, I want at least some of the garage.
	I get the elliptical.
	I broke in here fair and square.
	It's ridiculous.
	Give me my corner of the garage.
	Squatter's right, Steve.
	It is better for Ukraine to fight for their liberties and to fight for their rights to their land.
	It is better.
	And saying that doesn't mean that you're deeply supporting the military-industrial complex.
	Doesn't mean that.
	But these folks, a lot on the right, are believing this propaganda that a former KGB operator... Are you sure?
	...have listened to all of it.
	I asked the guy in my garage and he said he's my friend.
	Ask again, I suppose.
	But while you're at it, someone call the bomb squad.
	The bill has basically a kind of a fuse, a time bomb, set to go off during What would be a Donald Trump presidency?
	Let's be clear about that.
	The only person, by the way, who has vocally been, at least on a national level, vehemently opposing more funding to the Ukraine.
	So they try and make him look like an extremist, but here's the point.
	You're all extremists, because you don't believe that we should be spending, I guess, probably the first 5, 10 billion?
	Sure.
	50 billion?
	Shame on you.
	70 billion?
	Okay, shame on me.
	And then 120 billion?
	Well, it's just enough shame to go around now.
	I don't know what we're up to now.
	Is it committed over $150 billion as far as Ukraine?
	I think it is.
	This hasn't passed, obviously.
	It just went through the Senate.
	It's got to go through the House.
	There's still a lot to do.
	So this is what they want to do, and keep in mind the reason for this is because they want to paint Donald Trump as an extremist, and they've already impeached him.
	for opposing some funding in Ukraine.
	So JD Vance was the one who sounded the alarm Monday morning
	in a memo to the Senate GOP offices.
	He said, these funds expire on September 30th, 2025, nearly a year into the possible second term
	of President Trump.
	If President Trump were to withdraw from or pause financial support for the war in Ukraine.
	Presidents don't set a lot of their things to expire at the end of their term.
	They set them to be... Trump did.
	experts that would amount to the same fake violation of budget law from the
	first impeachment under markedly similar facts and circumstances.
	To me this seems like a standard practice. Presidents don't set a lot of their things to expire at the end of their
	term.
	They set them to be... Trump did. Well. The one that I was thinking of was like the the tax stuff so like...
	Oh, he was... No, the heat...
	No, Trump kind of did the same thing that Joe Biden's administration is doing with this bill.
	It expires in the middle and the changes affect, I don't know, how people think about their current president.
	It's not unusual that this happens.
	No, I mean, it's pretty common.
	I don't see this as a bill that says if the war ends that Trump will be impeached just because the war ended.
	It's a time bomb.
	Is it?
	No, he's saying that the funding for Ukraine will expire a year into his potential second term, which will make it appear like he's withdrawing support.
	I get that, but I feel like what they're implying is that if Trump decides to pull the funding early, that he's terrible.
	Yeah.
	That's how I interpret that they're upset.
	I think that that's what they want.
	They want, uh, I mean, and there's a clip here that explains that a little bit.
	This is the Biden administration's attempt to future-proof this support.
	Because they expect him to pull out.
	A U.S.
	official said the hope is that the long-term promise will also, quote, future-proof aid for Ukraine against the possibility that former President Donald Trump wins his re-election bid.
	They're really, really scared that Donald Trump will be the nominee, and they're really, really scared that he'll win the election.
	That's what they believe.
	Don't look at what the enemy is saying, look at what they're doing.
	They're trying to put every contingency plan in place to prevent him from being the nominee, and then to remove him from office or to handicap him while he is in office.
	The enemy.
	This is some dark Brandon shit.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Afraid.
	The enemy's afraid.
	This is really the only thing I remember from having listened to this earlier was this specific part.
	It's not, it's not even telling, we know how Steven feels, but it just, it's so fucking stupid.
	Just the verbiage around it.
	Just like.
	Well, this is, this is, it's not a hidden time bomb.
	This is open air conversation about support.
	It's like hiding a technicality in the contract.
	You can read the contract.
	They're not even hiding it out.
	They're talking about literally future-proofing this.
	It's not hidden.
	You just read it.
	We need to make sure that things go a particular way.
	So we need to go ahead and make concessions for what could possibly happen.
	Go ahead and do that now.
	We don't have to worry about it later.
	It's a good thing we have such a foresight.
	Well, I was gonna say such a bright panel discussing all these things.
	Not us, of course.
	Yeah, not us.
	Discussing this at midnight.
	I don't have a lot to add.
	But we got these boys on it.
	What is the 25th Amendment?
	He's incompetent.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	Yeah.
	It's like, this guy can't do it.
	Okay.
	Removal for incompetence?
	I think he's retarded.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	I don't think he's retarded.
	He's a demented old circus monkey.
	That's true.
	He's an elected retarded person.
	Yeah, sure, of course.
	Retards need elections, too.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Why not?
	Jesus Christ.
	It's wrong to hate.
	Yeah.
	Let them run.
	So... Get them back on the ballot.
	Yeah.
	I don't know.
	Are there really fast-returning people?
	Oh yeah, dude.
	They're gonna be super fast?
	Oh yeah, dude.
	My brother did Special Olympics for life.
	I chaperoned him for like eight years.
	Nice.
	There was a guy in basketball, this autistic guy, one of the best basketball players I've ever played.
	He counted everything, too.
	Really?
	One basket, one basket, three rebounds, three rebounds, and he beat everybody.
	Did he just freeze on one and three, or did he actually count them?
	No, he actually counted them.
	I was just giving examples.
	And it was great because he was always winning, dude.
	He was just like, yep, that's right, 17, like just bragging about it the whole time.
	Like an autistic Larry Bird.
	Or Donald Trump, yeah!
	Yeah, things just quickly dissolve into ableist locker room talk.
	Oh, it's fine.
	You know, like, people accuse, and not even accuse, like, the right is definitely stoked, if they could be stoked, on having Shane Gillis as their new guy, because he talks about, like, Down Syndrome folks or whatever, and his family that has Down Syndrome.
	That joke isn't terribly offensive, the Shane Gillis one.
	No, but I'm saying there's like a right way and a wrong way to do this.
	Oh, you guys want to hear the wrong way to do it?
	That's this!
	Tune in every day!
	Talking about Down Syndrome people doesn't make you a conservative, but talking about them like this, that's conservative behavior.
	That's why they get confused.
	Because there's an event diagram, there's an intersection, and it's down syndrome people, but using them to punch down on in this way is... that's the conservative way.
	That's fun.
	So what they do on a regular basis, and another thing that they can't stop talking about in this kind of loose free-form conversation about support, of course they're gonna talk about NATO and how all the other NATO countries aren't giving in the 2% of their military Is it military budget?
	GDP?
	It's military budget as a percentage of GDP.
	Well, I guess they're still not doing that.
	We have that chart, by the way, really quickly.
	The NATO chart?
	Yeah, the NATO chart.
	I believe the spending.
	Pull it up!
	Pull it up!
	Look at that.
	Now there's a handful of additional countries there.
	And Poland... Poland has recently done that because Poland is scared crapless right now that Russia is coming after them.
	I can't see the numbers.
	So Poland's at the very top with 3.9%, 3.5% United States.
	But, I think the United Kingdom is the only other, like, you know, Western-type country that has... Yeah, but this is the new chart.
	We should have the chart pre-Donald Trump, which was... Yeah, this is 2023 numbers.
	Yeah, very, very few people.
	Hold on, pull that chart back up.
	Pull that chart back up.
	Hey, shout-out to the countries that are actually putting in.
	Here we go.
	They should get rewards or something.
	They should.
	They're like, you know, us coming to their aid when they get attacked.
	You know who's not?
	The people who you would think would be most The people who have gotten taken over before, how about that?
	France, they're not doing it.
	Germany, they're not doing it.
	Those are the two countries where it's like, you gotta pay in.
	And by the way, other countries that should absolutely do that, Netherlands, Norway, Bulgaria, Denmark, you're not doing a thing if anybody else tries to come and take you over.
	I would go further than Donald Trump.
	We're not only not going to protect you if you're not paying in the amount that you have to right now, but until you take care of the back pay.
	Yeah.
	How many years have you not done this correctly?
	Fix it!
	I forgot that Trump did say that he will not be supporting any NATO country if they aren't paying their percentage and that he'll actually be actively encouraging the other countries to attack you.
	Yeah, it's no big deal, though.
	And they call that negotiation.
	It's negotiation, dude.
	You just don't get it.
	Great stuff.
	I really like the way that he interrupted to, like, give thanks to the countries that are putting in.
	Yeah.
	Kind of like he wanted to, like, compliment the hot girl, you know?
	Sure.
	I want to give a real shout out to Katie.
	She's doing a great job today.
	Yeah, you know, she's doing awesome.
	Oh, it sucks.
	It's so bad.
	Katie, please want to date with me?
	That's the kind of vibe I got.
	You think he wants to move?
	He just sold his house.
	I don't know what he wants to do, but it seems like he's trying to hit on the hot girl.
	Well, they're still talking about countries.
	So it's Greece, United States, Lithuania, Poland, United Kingdom, Estonia.
	Good job, Estonia.
	Good job, Greece.
	They're kind of terrible.
	You're cute.
	And Latvia.
	That's why they pay less.
	I didn't name Spain, Italy, France, Germany, the big countries that I'd be like, of course these guys, of course France.
	Who basically gets their butts kicked every time somebody sneezes in a war in Europe.
	Interesting.
	I feel like it's been a while since there was a war in Europe, and a lot of people got fucked up in that.
	Yes.
	But also, as of a few days ago, France will now reach NATO's target of spending 2% of their GDP on defense in 2024.
	As of two days ago?
	Yes.
	Nice.
	Wasn't that right after they aired this show?
	I guess.
	Stephen scared them, dude.
	Oh, come on.
	Heard them.
	Yeah.
	No.
	No, you come on.
	You get serious and mad at me?
	No, you!
	No, you listen up.
	Like, you just heard him damn say it, Byron.
	I know.
	Stephen did this.
	And then they signed the deal.
	This is... It's nice that... Thank you, Gerald.
	This all happened under Byron.
	Thank you, Stephen.
	Say it.
	I'm sorry, I'm not gonna say it.
	Fine.
	Alright, Stephen convinced... Well, let's be more specific.
	Gerald convinced France to, you know, finally Pitch in.
	In Estonia.
	He's going on a date with Estonia.
	All right.
	Feels good.
	We made it through that boring discussion of budgets.
	Yeah.
	And I'm sorry.
	It put me on edge there and I just want to apologize for my behavior.
	I appreciate that.
	This sucks.
	Time to move on to a more serious topic.
	One that Steve is, you know, giddy about.
	Okay.
	This happened at Joel Osteen's church.
	Lakewood Church, I always forget the name of it.
	Well, there are a few details here that only emerged later compared to other shootings.
	Yeah.
	I actually had some inside sources, so all of this I knew within a couple of hours about the Palestine writing that they had there on the rifle and the fact that this was someone who was likely transgender.
	Here we go.
	Great.
	Let's demonize some people.
	Hit the alarm.
	Of course, he heard some things from some friends because he's got friends in... What's that?
	Is he going to do a cover of that yet?
	No, who's this?
	Heard it from a friend from a club.
	What is that?
	I don't know what that is.
	Quit singing it.
	I don't know who that is.
	Do you know who that is, Joe?
	Keep singing, REO Speedwagon.
	Yeah, it is REO Speedwagon.
	God, Stephen's got friends.
	I had heard about this from people who were in the church or people who had friends in the church within about two or three hours.
	So it was well known right off the bat.
	Why?
	Because it went through the eyeball test.
	But eyeball test.
	That's how you know if someone's transgender.
	What do you mean?
	You just look at them and go, yeah, I think so.
	This is good.
	And it will be the basis of the rest of today's episode.
	Great.
	The eyeball.
	The eyeball test.
	Yeah, that's what I usually give people.
	Here's what you probably knew.
	So here's what you probably knew until later yesterday that a crazed gunsy shot up Joel Osteen's Lakewood Church.
	So at least we know some, at least we know no Bibles were harmed.
	Wow.
	That was the hardest fake laugh I've ever heard.
	Lakewood Church in Houston, Texas.
	Here you go.
	We turn now to the latest in the tragic shooting at Lakewood Church.
	We have learned the shooter here on your screen is Genesee Moreno and she has a long criminal history dating all the way back to 2005.
	Moreno was killed by two off-duty officers on Sunday after she opened fire before a Spanish language service at Lakewood.
	A five-year-old boy who was wounded in the shooting is clinging to life as well.
	Poor kid.
	Yeah, so this is what they were also trying to say in the media, that the motive was unclear.
	Right, the motive was unclear.
	Well, here's what we actually know, by the way.
	We do know that the shooter was a female-to-male transgender, and this was someone who actually believed in liberating Palestine.
	How do we know?
	Because they wrote it.
	On a sticker.
	On the gun.
	Just to be clear.
	They wrote the word Palestine on a sticker.
	Yeah, so that's enough to know everything.
	Yeah, that's the motive.
	That's it, it's done.
	Simple.
	I guess we'll wrap that up right there.
	Yes, and the show.
	So he knows this.
	He knows this for a fact then, huh?
	That's pretty interesting.
	Well, I guess let's keep going down this as if that is a known fact.
	What day of the week did this happen?
	This happened on Monday?
	Yeah, they skipped Monday for court.
	No, no, no, I mean like the shooting happened on Monday.
	The shooting was on Monday, yeah.
	But of course they jump to another fallacy that we've talked about a lot that, you know, white shooters have their manifestos put out immediately.
	They most certainly don't self-publish their stuff on places like Reddit or 4chan.
	The news reports of manifesto before the shooting even.
	Now let's contrast this with, remember, the motive was immediately released when it was allegedly white supremacists, right?
	The Allen Mall shooting, the Buffalo supermarket shooting, the Pittsburgh synagogue shooting.
	And this is what they were ignoring now, saying, I don't know, it's unclear.
	Well, the shooter was a female to male transgender.
	Okay, let's just keep saying that as many times as possible.
	Even though it's the eye test, remember?
	You gotta eyeball it.
	All of those examples he stated were manifestos that were published by the shooter.
	Great.
	Which made the motives very clear.
	This person had a manifesto, though, right?
	No, they did not.
	Are you saying, like, yeah, this person... Like, I only remember the Buffalo one specifically out of the examples, but it was like, yeah, that's the... El Paso had a manifesto, too.
	So, I mean, it could be that that's the case.
	Sure.
	But it also could be that the media bias is very anti-cis white male.
	That's what I've heard.
	I think they're advertising.
	And we have a sticker, allegedly.
	I'll be here when I'm with you, guys.
	Well, and this is interesting, this next clip they talk over reality.
	Let's just defer to the Houston Gender Identification Unit that's determined it's... I think it's she?
	That's a thing?
	She has utilized both male and female names, but looks like he has too.
	Through all of our investigation to this point, talking with individuals, interviews, documents, Houston Police Department reports, she has been identified this entire time as female.
	That guy's not on the streets.
	She, her, and so we are identifying her as Genesee Moreno, Hispanic female.
	That seems pretty clear.
	They just wanted to talk over that as much as possible to obscure it and also say that the guy at the press conference is also trans.
	Yeah, of course he is.
	Cher's son, Chaz Bono.
	Yeah, I think this whole Houston gender determination unit situation is what is fueling all of this.
	I don't know when we should start talking about reality.
	This woman 36 years old, had a history of arrests for assault, drugs, and weapons charges and a well-documented history of mental illness.
	Sounds like a Biden staffer.
	Excuse me?
	What?
	She had some familial disputes with her Jewish ex-husband and his family.
	There was an ongoing custody battle along with her Drug addiction.
	She apparently was lashing out and saying a bunch of anti-semitic stuff and even the mother of her ex-husband who was frequently the target of these attacks and was filing, I believe she was filing for custody of the children, said that she wasn't anti-semitic, she was just hurt and lashing out based on the tumultuous divorce that she was going through and the, you know, horrible mental illness that she was experiencing.
	Sounds pretty level-headed, honestly.
	Interesting, huh?
	Weren't they just advocating for mental health the other week?
	They were.
	She was able to get a bunch of guns, even though she had that well-documented mental health issues.
	And neighbors and, you know, a lot of people said that she would frequently threaten them with firearms.
	Okay, yeah, that's normal.
	That's just normal neighborly stuff, you know.
	You say hi, I say get off my property or I'll shoot you in the face.
	You guys ever had a neighbor that was like doing gun crimes?
	No.
	Yeah, I used to.
	Really?
	I would say that this is a failure of the system and that we need tighter, you know, I don't know, Gun laws?
	Dude, typical liberal opinion.
	Texas holding her down though, right?
	We're just giving guns to everyone down here.
	We don't give a fuck or shit.
	Are you making a Texas hold'em joke?
	Texas hold'em big guns.
	Alright, well.
	Boys, it's late.
	I tried.
	But Stephen wants to point out something.
	The reason this matters is not to go, hey look, another transgender shooter.
	No, we end up creating real victims if we don't acknowledge the truth.
	So of course you have some prominent examples, right?
	The Nashville shooter, where they really tried to suppress that and really tried to suppress the manifesto.
	By the way, update on that, we don't have a lawsuit from the No.
	The mayor, the FBI, they said they were going to.
	They've yet to get to us.
	I'm sure we're on their to-do list somewhere.
	More grandstanding.
	Then you had the Colorado shooter.
	There was another potential shooter in Colorado.
	There was the Iowa shooter.
	Hold tight.
	There was a potential Illinois shooter.
	So you add that up and then we also have the statistics if you look at the actual criminality and violent criminality that is alarmingly higher in the transgender community.
	Suicide not even being included necessarily.
	The Nashville shooter, sure.
	There was a transgender teen in Colorado Springs that threatened to copycat and sadly that is unsurprising.
	The Illinois shooter that he talked about, that was just another threat.
	There was no shooting.
	In that situation.
	Sure.
	But Stephen flashes more on screen including Dylan Butler, a 17 year old who injured three students in an administrator and killed a sixth grade student at Perry High School in Iowa, which is horrific.
	But their gender identity has never been established.
	Somehow, I think it was because there was a screen name that potentially was used by Dylan on a... It was a Hero121.
	It wasn't.
	A Reddit transgender forum?
	Okay.
	Rumors start spreading by folks like Libs of TikTok and even Donald Trump Jr.
	claiming this person was transgender and there's just no evidence that they are.
	I trust those establishments.
	Libs of TikTok spread this one, is that right?
	The Dylan Butler or the... This Lakewood shooter from Monday.
	They did.
	Yeah, but I mean honestly everyone on the right has been.
	Of course.
	Sure.
	So this overlay, we have the Nashville school shooter, a transgender school shooter, and then two planned shootings that never happened, and then one that is undetermined but likely not at the hands of a transgender individual.
	So, great work Steven!
	That was a pretty good track record.
	And also statistics saying that the criminality of transgender folks is high.
	I don't see any evidence of that.
	I do know, however, that transgender people are four times more likely than cisgender people to be victims of violent crime.
	True.
	Yeah, but I mean, I think they actually want to start doing the crime.
	Gonna start doing the...
	Yeah, yeah, exactly.
	They've earned their crime pass.
	I found a sort of interesting information from Charlotte Clymer from Substack, just talking about the right-wing talking point, of course, as trans shooters have been just everywhere.
	It's just simply not true What does it say here is that for the last 10 years since January 1st 2014 They're saying for the sake of argument that like six weeks ago.
	They're referring to a shooting that happened that I believe Someone got accused of being trans there so saying even for just the sake of argument Let's just say that there's six of them for the last ten years and That would mean that trans people make up 0.128% of all mass shooters.
	Uh, the total number being 4,684 mass shootings in the United States.
	This is also inversely that non-trans people make up 99.9% of all mass shootings over that period as well.
	Yeah.
	I think stats aside, my issue isn't the person doing the attack.
	It's just the fact that they can easily get what they need to do an attack.
	I know what people could do to avoid attacks like this.
	Yeah.
	I know that Dylan Butler had been brutally bullied.
	I don't know.
	I don't think bullying... I think bullying is good for kids.
	Okay.
	Yeah.
	I think we could support... Hard times create strong men.
	Hard men create harder men.
	Soft men create soft serve.
	It's a Dairy Queen ad.
	Okay.
	And I'm turning that blizzard upside down and I'm confusing every Malaysian reporter out there.
	Yikes.
	We need to help people who are struggling with mental health and bullying.
	Yes, we're focused on the wrong shit.
	That's all.
	Help, my daughter's drowning!
	We need to wash some feet.
	Is she trans?
	At any rate.
	Steven wants his audience to continue to be conspiratorial and, you know, jump to conclusions.
	Which makes sense.
	I wonder if he's gonna, you know, correct himself after this rant where he called a person transgender six times.
	I trust him.
	He always is honest.
	Why doesn't he adopt like a 48-hour policy on any kind of like mass shooting?
	And what's even stranger is that there's already information about this person in the public before he even went live on Tuesday.
	There was already new information out about it.
	It just doesn't make sense.
	He's not going to scrap the story.
	We're up here at four o'clock every morning and I'm throwing my cock over people's shoulders.
	We're not reading the news apparently.
	He's too busy relying on his audience to lean in and be suspicious.
	If I don't say this shit I don't have a show Byron.
	Click that like button.
	Hit the like button if you knew exactly Who this person was before it was even reported.
	This shooter.
	The second they go to radio silence and motive unclear, you go, oh, that means the motive is very clear.
	Yeah.
	And by the way, I saw an intrepid headline from CNN this morning, from the Houston police, that the shooter may have had mental issues, mental health issues.
	I didn't say that.
	I'm just wondering if there may have been an indicator.
	And you think I'm being sarcastic right now?
	I'm not.
	I'm being dead serious.
	I wonder if there could have been an indicator.
	If something maybe was going on that we could all point to and go, maybe things are not okay.
	Maybe something is wrong with this individual and they need help.
	Not to cast them out of society.
	Of course not.
	To just say, hey, this person needs help.
	They do not know who this shooter is.
	So?
	There were signs that this woman was sick.
	With stronger gun control and better mental health care, I think that this could have been avoided.
	I think if people smash the like button it could have been avoided.
	Was there warning signs?
	Is there something that could have been done?
	There was, and I don't think that if you...
	If you really knew who this person was, I don't think you would support the steps that need to be done to make this situation resolve without the death.
	No one died but the shooter.
	Yeah, her son got shot, and they don't even know if it was shot by security or her.
	Oh, perfect.
	In critical condition.
	Just, yeah, just fuck you, Steven.
	Fuck you, Gerald.
	Not a funny bone in either of your bodies.
	It was her son.
	There were signs that this person might have been mentally unwell.
	Yeah, but we don't want to talk about them.
	Like what?
	Like dancing in the mirror as Buffalo Bill saying repeatedly, We thought that might have been an issue.
	Also trying to, you know, fit a fake phallus on themselves and expose it in public libraries.
	You know, but we can't say that these are mental health issues because it's beautiful.
	Fake dildos are our strength.
	These are not issues that this person was struggling with.
	There's just no truth to what he's saying.
	It's just like, it's hard to even have an opinion about it.
	It's just like, it's all wrong.
	This was a schizophrenic woman that was oftentimes threatening people around her with firearms and was continued to be able to legally purchase guns.
	Yeah, bought the gun in December 2023.
	It's bullshit.
	This is so infuriating.
	So I mean like that's that's the whole thing.
	Are they saying this person's trans because they don't want to like face the facts that like they live in a state that allows people who have well-documented schizophrenia, like the type that makes you violent apparently, said her family.
	Uh-huh.
	They just want to avoid the fact that this person can just get a gun and then just go do this shit and there's no That's just part of being in America, guys.
	They're just writing it off.
	They don't want to touch the issue, actually.
	They just want to tell us that this person's trans and that's the issue.
	Well, because they didn't pass the eyeball test.
	They're so mad.
	The trans people are mad.
	This person, what's their name?
	Janice Moreno, yeah.
	Eyeball test got the the myspace photograph that they're using here with the the long bangs and sunglasses I mean, it's just do do fucking five minutes of research before going live Like if it's that big of a deal that you don't have a show if you don't just say this stupid shit Then you don't really have a show, do you?
	It's just sort of... It's just a dog chasing its tail.
	There's nothing here.
	Well, it's not a new show, Jared.
	It's a comedy show.
	Yeah, I'm laughing.
	I'm bugging out, I'm laughing so hard over here.
	One more time, what is this person?
	So this person, also a transgender individual, and had the Palestine sticker on their gun.
	And this also tells you, yeah, keep in mind that homosexual, I sound like a French guy,
	homosexual acts carry at least a 10-year prison sentence and or death penalty in Gaza,
	which let's be honest, it's just death penalty.
	They typically skip to death penalty.
	Yeah.
	And the Palestinian territories, by the way, ranked 191st out of 197 in the world for gay rights.
	Just to be clear.
	Just another one of his old tricks where he likes to say that people supporting Palestine shouldn't because Palestine has troubles with LGBTQ.
	Yeah.
	Miss Moreno was only putting that on her sticker as a slight to her ex-husband and their family.
	Right.
	Okay.
	They discovered anti-semitic writings that proved she wasn't anti-semitic but it was related to the act of divorce that she was having in a custody battle.
	What I also find interesting about this is that so often when there's like a situation like this and the left says ban the guns the right says don't politicize this and they're politicizing it tying it back to Gaza somehow?
	Well because of the Palestine sticker on the buttstock.
	Oh, that makes sense.
	Yeah.
	You just got to get in some Islamophobia, though, at the tail end.
	A little bit.
	Just a little jab.
	Just a touch of that.
	Let's return to the top of the show.
	They've never won.
	This is the problem with that Super Bowl commercial.
	Jesus didn't teach hate.
	No one here hates.
	Yeah.
	I hate the dishonesty.
	These people are unwell.
	and we'll have to hit the YouTube dump button because you're not allowed to say that.
	Think of how clever they have been.
	We used to play spot the tranny on YouTube in 2015.
	I believe 2016, maybe even 2017.
	And now that is a hate word.
	This happened so fast.
	Where it went from drag queens, it went from cross dressing, right?
	Where it was kind of a joke.
	Men would put on women's clothing.
	Jay William will tell you about that.
	They would do it in bars as a gag.
	To men can be women, women can be men.
	To children can transition and you are hateful if you don't accept all of it.
	And we're going to remove you from YouTube if you just say, hey, I think what the entirety of human civilization has thought up until 2016, that maybe there's something mentally off with a person who is willing to sexually mutilate themselves.
	Again, they don't know anything about what they're talking about.
	No, they don't at all.
	They're just deeply implying that if you are trans, it is definitely a problem that needs fixed.
	That's what they're saying.
	And that's it.
	Disappointing stuff.
	Yeah, not a lot here.
	Yeah, there really isn't much.
	I mean, it's just fucking...
	Old man yells at cloud shit.
	And he's not even that old, you know?
	But he also doesn't have any memories beyond 1996 or 1997 anyway.
	So it's kind of, it's kind of a long gap to live and just kind of regress into yourself.
	But what can his listeners do with this information?
	Probably Mug Club.
	I wish it was Mug Club.
	You!
	What can you do?
	I'm going to tell you this, all right?
	Missed opportunity.
	Because we don't want a just bitch.
	Provide some solutions.
	This is the consequence, and this is why it's irritating.
	If you were to believe the media, and you go, man, I want to keep my family safe, you would be looking for white supremacist shooters.
	You would be flagging someone with a MAGA hat to the authorities.
	And you might not be paying attention to the statistically alarmingly high rates of violence that take place due to the mental instability in the transgender community.
	Let's just be clear about that.
	That's what it is.
	You are now more likely to be a victim.
	Do you need to do this with your children at a Trump rally?
	Or this at a Drag Queen Story Hour?
	Well, the true answer is very clear.
	The media wants you to believe the opposite.
	That's some serious mask-off stuff that got bleeped out of Jared's version.
	Yeah, I didn't hear any of that before.
	This artificial fear that he's creating, the trans-shooter panic narrative that he's perpetuating is really, really upsetting and very dangerous.
	And honestly, I think that's about all I can handle this week.
	I hate it so much, this person's not even trans right?
	No.
	No.
	They used a fake name probably along the lines because they were a criminal and it happened to be Joseph something.
	That's what I think I hate most about this.
	Yeah.
	I mean I hate all of it.
	It's all bad.
	You're caring about the wrong thing.
	Yeah.
	That's like, you get soup, and there's a human hand in it, and you're like, this is too salty.
	Oh, okay.
	Yeah, it's a little cold.
	There's a bigger fucking issue, and it's the human hand.
	It's the guns.
	The guns are the bigger issue here.
	The untreated mental illness.
	The lack of support.
	I really hate that they just have this broad strokes of, if you're trans, you're mentally unwell.
	I wouldn't be surprised if he was gonna okay taking away guns from trans people.
	That's what he's, like, leaning that he thinks should be implied.
	But, you know, regardless of the person's, you know, gender identity, at the end of the day, the issue is guns, and the issue is that someone who had mental health issues that are not trans, they had mental health issues, and they were able to easily get guns.
	And it's not as simple as, like, doing, like, this Minority Report pre-crime, we'll just arrest schizophrenics.
	Which is something they hate.
	Yes, it's not that's not what we do We have to have a system in place that allows us to get
	guns back from people who should not have them Uh-huh, and an appropriate system that blocks future
	purchases of those guns from people like that Which it seems like that failed in this case. Yeah
	Yeah, it a hundred percent does because we don't care in Texas. It's just like come here get your shit
	There's probably a waiting period like a moment waiting period but yeah, you know, her family went and
	They they had made this known it sounded like when I'd read like one article about this that I sent y'all but
	From what I can remember, it sounded like they had tried to be like, please do not sell her a gun.
	And they were like, well, we can fucking take the money if we want.
	They sold the gun.
	And lo and behold, what is this?
	February 13th, it happens and it happened.
	They got the gun like December 23rd, 2023.
	Christmas miracle, dude.
	Wow.
	So it doesn't take that long to get it and then the turnaround to have this person slap a Palestine sticker onto the side of this thing and then shoot several people inside of this church is just... What the fuck are we doing here?
	Why is this even still part of the conversation?
	The most simple thing you can do is say, I'm sorry, you have schizophrenia of the type that would maybe make you do something like this.
	And it's well documented, like we know about this.
	You're being treated for this.
	But where do you draw the line?
	Because then Steven gets nervous that his depression that he has and is probably getting treatment for, which I fully support, that he's concerned that that might be the next pushing of the goalpost.
	Yeah, I understand.
	And I'm not gonna say it's not like a valid concern.
	Like, I'm not somebody who's... I'm not... I'm pro-gun, right?
	I'm not anti-gun, right?
	Like, it's stupid to worry about this type of shit because it's impossible to put the toothpaste back in the tube with stuff like this.
	It's just as it is with, like, abortion or...
	Any of these culture war issues that the right, like Stephen, like to harp on week to week, day to day, it's just like, okay, no one's going to take your fucking guns.
	And if we were, if that, we, if they were, if Democrats or whoever the fuck were going to take your guns, there, there's just a thousand ways to make that not the reality that you live in, right?
	There's ghost guns.
	There's all these, there's ways around it.
	If there's a will to do it, then people are going to do it.
	It works on both sides of the fence like that, and to pretend like it doesn't is just fucking asinine.
	Here's an hour and a half show about it.
	Yeah, every concern that Steven has, it's just a projection of insecurities.
	It's definitely how it feels.
	Next week, betting odds, will Steven take it all back?
	No.
	Of course not.
	No, he's never going to revisit this again.
	This is the last we're ever going to hear him talk about this person.
	Until the next shooter.
	In three days.
	Yep.
	If there's another mass shooting and that person has long-ish hair, trans, get them in the hate bucket.
	Yeah, this is gonna suck, boys.
	But yeah, if you listen or disagree with us in any way, feel free to convince us otherwise.

	It's late, huh?
	Sure is.
	Let's see if we go out right now.
	How are you gonna sleep?
	I'm gonna sleep good until I wake up at 6 in the morning to go to the gym.
	Oh no, that stinks.
	It stinks now, but when I'm doing tricep push-ups and I'm doing chin-ups and all ups, everything ups, I'll be feeling strong.
	Tired and strong.
	I could really push it.
	I could get another five and a half hours of sleep.
	Nice.
	Hell yeah.
	Exciting.
	I'm stoked about it.
	I have COVID.
	Nice.
	Great.
	Lovely.
	Oh, what a great treat.
	Dennis, are you just sitting next to this idiot?
	Hey, keep talking.
	Keep talking, big boy.
	Just let me, let Byron serenade you with my opinions about Steven Crowder.
	And then next week, we can ask you, how you feeling?
	And until next time, we're Jared.
	Hey, have a good one.
	And Dennis.
	Did you get that picture of Josh Spewer signed yet?
	Oh my god.
	I'm firing.
	Take care.
	You've been listening to an AudioWall original, produced by Byron McCoy.
