	This is an AudioWool original.
	Not a good thing that students were shot.
	you But...
	Welcome to Louder Than Crowder, a podcast about the podcast louder with Crowder.
	My name's Byron.
	I'm joined by an occupied Texan occupying the campus?
	Yeah, I'm at UT campus right now reporting live.
	It's me, Jared.
	I'm looking at these cops.
	They're looking at me.
	I'm handing them a Diet Pepsi.
	Nice.
	Nice.
	You saved the world.
	The Jenner effect.
	I like it.
	Was it a Diet Pepsi?
	It was a Pepsi Max.
	Dennis is here too, standing up because he's sleepy.
	I'm sleepy and I am awake.
	He's doing his best right now, but he might have to take a break to stand up.
	But at least I'm staying hydrated.
	You know what would have kept you awake this week?
	What?
	Not louder with Crowder.
	No?
	This is a comedy show, man.
	Hedious.
	Watch.
	I've been looking for a show all week.
	I know I said this last time as well, but holy shit, guys.
	There's a lot going on right now.
	We got the Trump hush money trial, the Supreme Court hearing arguments about presidential immunity.
	Taylor Swift's album is not that good, maybe?
	Josh Pecker.
	Wait, what's Josh Pecker doing?
	Who's Josh Pecker?
	I think he's the guy in the Trump trial.
	Absolutely duffed on Trump.
	We got 11 fake electors indicted in Arizona.
	That was hot.
	The guy's name is David Pecker.
	David Pecker.
	Maybe I'm thinking of Josh Zachary Feierstein.
	Probably.
	That could be it.
	And the increasing campus protests of our involvement in support of Israel, which we will talk about in a little bit.
	But these folks went full dense this week in a way that I struggle to imagine even the most loyal chowder heads would enjoy.
	Today, we'll be going through the April 25th, 2024 episode of Louder with Crowder.
	It's a Thursday.
	It's today.
	Today's episode?
	Yeah.
	Had to pull it together.
	Found some gems, a little bit of gold.
	Okay, nice.
	Fool's gold?
	I heard Fool's gold is actually coming back.
	Pyrite again?
	Yeah, I saw a Pyrite story, like it could be worth a lot of money.
	Wow, that's interesting.
	We've got some stacked hate against drag queens.
	Perfect.
	There's another week in Biden, shaking hands with people who aren't there.
	Old hat, old guy, who cares?
	Well, I'll tell you who cares.
	Obviously.
	Americans do.
	That's the cutest sip.
	We should steal a sip.
	Oh, interesting.
	Pro palace.
	I don't think many people understand that quite yet.
	Steven starts every episode by sipping out of one of his mugs.
	We're going to steal a sip.
	Yeah, I don't know if we're going to do that.
	Pro-Palestinian protesters at college campuses and an annoying fixation with talking about the Kent State shooting, implying that most people don't know the truth, and making some atrocity excuses.
	But before all of that, we open with another timely parody.
	Oh, oh wow.
	I can't wait.
	It's another film.
	Respect the muck.
	And tame the Kent!
	Okay.
	Uh, guys.
	Hold on.
	What's going on?
	That's not supposed to happen until the end.
	The end of the movie.
	We're indoors.
	Think about where would the frogs even be coming from?
	It doesn't make sense.
	Plus, who's even dropping them?
	Well, the frogs don't make sense.
	None of this makes sense.
	Plus, the script was supposed to be dropping mugs.
	It's a parody.
	Magnolia.
	Magnolia.
	It's a quick parody of the 1999 film Magnolia, directed by Paul Thomas Anderson.
	Okay, I know nothing about it.
	It's okay.
	It's pretty good.
	I think it got the Academy Award that year, but... Is this a new thing he did?
	Yeah, this is a new bit.
	Why?
	I don't know, something he likes to start with.
	He found a single pun?
	Last week he did the Forrest Gump one.
	Yeah, that was really rough.
	Yeah, he like gave up in the middle of it, last part of the script.
	It's kind of what he did here too.
	Yeah.
	Maybe that's a thing, he just, his entire thing is just gonna bail on all of his parodies.
	I'm just gonna bail on it.
	Yeah, he can't figure it out.
	Tuck and roll, Steve.
	Tuck and roll.
	This is really interesting, though.
	Steven's dressed as Tom Cruise's character Frank T.J.
	Mackie.
	Okay.
	This is the on-stage monologue scene.
	Oh, I'm familiar.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Okay, don't lie.
	But this is an interesting choice.
	Frank in the movie is a charismatic and controversial motivational speaker who boasts a self-help seminar called Seduce and Destroy.
	Nice.
	That's my wife and I. That's our nicknames for each other.
	Your nicknames for each other?
	Yeah, I'm Destroy, she's Seduce.
	Oh, cool.
	That's kind of fun.
	You guys are a little bit of yin and yang.
	His seminar teaches men how to manipulate and control women, promoting a misogynistic and predatory view of relationships.
	He's a complex and deeply flawed character.
	It's a great performance from Tom Cruise.
	And from Steven.
	Straight up no, it wasn't good.
	While Frank presents a confident and assertive facade to his audience, he harbors unresolved issues stemming from his troubled relationship with his father, who is abusive towards him and his mother, which is interesting.
	This upbringing has left Steven, sorry Frank, with deep, unseated emotional scars and a profound sense of anger and resentment towards women.
	Oh.
	That doesn't sound like anybody I know.
	No.
	Okay.
	Weird choice that he would choose to parody this film and that character.
	Yeah.
	What year?
	99?
	99.
	A bug did hit him in the head at the end which was kind of funny.
	Okay.
	So I'm giving this a 3 out of 10.
	I'm here for that.
	I agree.
	Yeah.
	Not bad.
	Nice.
	The show starts and Tim the Toolman breaks his headphones because their studio is falling apart.
	Nice.
	But there's no time to dwell on that because...
	Alright, we have a lot to get to today.
	Well, first off, though, I want to tell you, Monday night we're doing a special, because we do these streams with you, right?
	Town halls, obviously, and we do the debates, but we haven't done one in a while, and we have the biggest announcement we have ever made here at Ladder with Crowder.
	Monday, 8 p.m.
	Eastern, we will be doing a live stream.
	We'll be interacting with you.
	I don't want to give it all away right now, but there are some It's a Biggie, Monday 8 p.m.
	Eastern.
	And drinking.
	There will be a drinking game.
	As always.
	It'll be fun, but laying out a roadmap with some special surprises.
	So that's it!
	A Biggie Monday night coming up, boys.
	Did you hear that guy?
	Who's that familiar voice that we just heard?
	Back from paternity leave.
	Oh I forgot to even mention!
	Oh yeah!
	Can't wait to drink!
	He was back very quickly.
	Yeah he was.
	It was I think Monday, maybe even late last week, I don't recall.
	But he took... Immediately back.
	Can't connect with his son.
	No of course not.
	Who needs that?
	This is really important.
	He does look a bit strung out in this episode if anyone wants to take a look when they panned a Gerald.
	It's uh, whoo!
	No one's sleeping in that house.
	This wasn't the episode where he forgot his foundation, was it?
	I think that might have been on Wednesday.
	Could have been two days in a row.
	Who needs a dude?
	He really does.
	But yeah, like I said, I guess we know what we're covering on Monday.
	Yeah, what do you think it is?
	Replatforming Ultra?
	I have some ideas.
	And a lot like Steven, I'm not gonna spoil that now.
	I'm gonna spoil it.
	I think he's starting a video game company.
	He's been doing cartoons lately, children's programming, that could be it.
	But this isn't the last time that Steven's gonna plug this.
	You know, maybe there's gonna be some clues coming later in this episode.
	Okay.
	Maybe even like eight seconds from now.
	Nice.
	So if at any point today you see this...
	Head on over to Rumble, and by the way, that's going to be a big part of Monday's announcements.
	Yeah.
	It's time for everybody here to decide if you want to pick up your arms and fight.
	Figuratively!
	Figuratively.
	Figuratively.
	Mostly.
	All right.
	Lock and load your mostly figurative arms, boys.
	I've been lifting.
	I have a feeling you were close.
	I think the YouTube dump band is playing live on Monday.
	The YouTube dump?
	I hope so.
	Yeah, I think it could be cool.
	Mr. Guns N' Gears?
	Think you'll be there?
	I would love to see Mr. Guns N' Gears show up live.
	In studio.
	Yeah, that'd be cool.
	Maybe play like the Jug Band, but on his rifle.
	That's kind of a cool technique.
	You can tie a string to the barrel of a gun and plonk it.
	Oh, I was thinking like, uh, doing the whoo-whoo-whoo over the barrel.
	Just a real nice whoo-whoo.
	A little bit more visceral.
	Like a flute?
	I just have fun.
	Really?
	Has anyone ever made a flute out of a gun?
	No, but they should.
	Someone needs to make a flute out of like an AR and just be like...
	I don't know.
	That's like the flower in the barrel.
	We get Andre 3000 to do it.
	That'd be kind of sick.
	That's the way out.
	That's how we do it.
	Spoiler alert, I think we're leaving YouTube soon.
	Probably.
	I think that's what's gonna happen.
	He's gonna leave YouTube and then he's gonna see all of his viewership just plummet hard.
	I don't know, he's getting a steady 60K live concurrent.
	On Rumble?
	Yeah, pretty good.
	I think he's.
	That's daily, I mean that's.
	I can tell you that the casual ones are not gonna go for him.
	Probably not. It'll be a big impact.
	The other thing with Rumble too, and I know that we had this issue,
	is that not really available on there to watch after the fact. Yeah.
	Kind of crashed today.
	Had to go to YouTube myself to watch.
	Can you believe this guy told me to piss off at the end of the episode?
	Sure.
	I've been going to Rumble, man.
	Just, like, take it easy on me.
	I was offered a link to a Donald Trump official pin.
	When you turn it over, does his top come off?
	His hair?
	His wig pops off?
	No, it was just an ad at the bottom of the Rumble page, which is pretty cool.
	And then an ad saying that we're entering World War 3, which is pretty interesting considering Stephen thinks that that's hyperbolic.
	I got some weird little cute muskrat looking guys, and it was, I don't know, trying to tell me something about that in AI voice.
	CEO Gerald Morgan is caught literally duct taping the show together.
	Nice.
	And Stephen continues to threaten violence, this time towards protesters, and then he throws a little something in for Dennis.
	How are you, Mr. Cheapskate?
	I'm just basically saying that duct tape can fix a lot of problems.
	We haven't tried it on this one yet.
	I'm doing fantastic.
	How are you?
	I'm fine.
	I'd do a lot better if I could wring the neck of some of these pro-Hamas protesters.
	Not the people who just show up, you know, and they don't know what they're doing.
	The people who, you know, really actually, like, hate the Jews and say death to America.
	Yes.
	Not that it would be legal, but just a little bit of a... But in another world.
	Also, remember to breathe.
	Yes.
	Remember she asked you... He doesn't remember to breathe.
	Name that reference to an early Otts emo song.
	Comment below.
	Not gonna lie.
	It's probably my favorite Dashboard Confessional song.
	It's a great song.
	From the 2001 So Impossible EP.
	You want to give me a guitar?
	I'll play it real quick.
	No, I know you know how to play it.
	We'll play it, it'll be beautiful.
	We've done it before.
	I don't think manual strangulation was what Chris Carraba was singing about.
	I think it was.
	You think so?
	Yeah, it was a weird like... He was going to a house party where he was going to find a victim.
	Yeah, exactly.
	No, Jesus Christ.
	That's what the confessional was about.
	I'm really sorry though, this is confirmation, Steven Crowder is a deep cut Dashboard Confessional fan.
	I was going to say Dashboard just out of like, probably safe, you know?
	Here's what I want to say about Steven is that me and Byron and Steven and you Jared, we all I think followed a pretty similar path.
	Same generation.
	Yeah, he was born a day before me.
	We all graduated around the same time, right?
	We're all... In like 2008, we all... I'd say before that.
	I'd say rewind to the time that he wanted to wear a bandana in his back pocket and his dad called him gay.
	Okay, yep, that could be the moment.
	I think that's it.
	He just went a different path.
	Yeah.
	That's it, and it's... Shame filled with it, right?
	From the beginning.
	Like our band would have played with his band and then talk shit about them privately.
	I don't think I would personally enjoy his company.
	Like the Christian band that you end up playing with that are like, you know, a little too aggro.
	Their parents bought them all of their nice gear.
	Dennis and I played with a lot of Christian bands because they actually paid us.
	You know those Christian shows?
	You get paid.
	You get paid a little bit.
	You play those megachurch places?
	Not megachurch, medium church.
	We played megachurch.
	Joe Austin, he was our MC for our show.
	Our bass player got us kicked out of all those places before I even joined the band.
	That's not correct.
	And then when I joined the band there was already a reputation so then the church kids wouldn't play with us.
	But then finally the church kids did play with us and we alienated ourselves even further from them by playing I Want to Be a Homosexual by Screeching Weasel to them.
	There was people in there who were like, why would they do this?
	And like, crying.
	Real tears.
	I heard about the real tears.
	I think you told me about this once.
	The older punk guy that was there just gave me a thumbs up.
	You should be strangled by Chris Carraba.
	Nah, you're kings.
	Kings.
	Pop punk kings.
	Local heroes.
	In third chair, I'm thinking almost in a full-time capacity at this point, we got Josh, who I have to say, settling in fine with these guys.
	Freely slurring it seems we haven't mentioned it.
	I don't think that he is his stand-up special American dropped a few weeks ago, you know, I started watching the first little bit.
	Yeah The crowd hated it.
	No, they weren't having much fun.
	It was so bad.
	Where's it at?
	I don't want to tell people where to check it out on YouTube Rumble or Mug Club.
	Yeah no I started watching it when I was working and I had to shut it off because I was like it just was so bad it was just not good.
	I mean I see imply that no one's watching it they said that they made like $40 so far it's now demonetized and he said he's not sure if it's because he used the r-word or because of his friends.
	Like I think I watched for five minutes of So it's interesting you say that.
	We haven't shared much of his comedies and we might actually cover the special at some point, who knows.
	But for now, here's a taste of Josh's comedic stylings.
	This is stuff I usually cut from the show.
	You know, interesting question.
	How would you deal with the protesters?
	I had my own way of dealing.
	Yesterday, I went to go deal with these protesters.
	I didn't realize, I thought they were, I think University of Texas, I thought it was a UTI protest.
	I was like, I hate UTIs.
	And then, oh shit, wrong protest.
	And you got sponsored by Ocean Spray.
	Yeah, but that's a good, that's a good paycheck.
	$12 a month.
	That's a good paycheck.
	When I watch those commercials, I didn't know that cranberries float.
	In a bog?
	I don't know if they do.
	They do.
	They do, according to the commercials.
	I've never been in a bog.
	I don't even like cranberry juice, but he makes me buy it.
	Before we get to anything else... It's good for your T.I.
	I'm so glad we added this.
	Me too, Gerald.
	I love misunderstanding bits.
	That's my favorite kind of comedy.
	I didn't know that they floated.
	Well, and also the whole UTI, yeah.
	So he said he was going to go down and deal with the protesters, and then his punchline was that it was a different protest, so why would he deal with them?
	That's interesting, huh?
	Because... It's just, it's stupid.
	Okay, Leo, let's break this down, actually.
	Yeah.
	So he's saying how he would deal with the protesters?
	He says, I'm going to go down there and take care of these protesters.
	But then he goes there... And supports what they're supporting.
	But also just misunderstood.
	Yeah, so why was he there in the first place if he wasn't there to fight the protesters?
	It's a paradox.
	The delivery of that also was absolutely horrendous.
	I'm really glad that we put that in today's show.
	That was my favorite part.
	It's very apparent that this made the morning run through cut.
	When we put this in the intro, which the people have already listened to the intro, can we just have it so that it pauses and plays that entire clip and then drops?
	Instead of the little gap we just give a 30-second. We give them the whole thing
	I don't know if I could do that, but maybe who knows if it happened it happened
	That's great side note. They'll be releasing clips from those run-throughs as part of something called the Friday
	scrapyard shows Like the morning run
	run-throughs they run through the whole show before yeah they're taking the
	James Blake approach and they're like we'll just give them all the stuff that
	we're working on and working through right now could you imagine running
	through this show a second time I don't think we've ever had to do it
	Have we ever, like, messed up a recording yet?
	Like 10 minutes, maybe.
	Yeah, I don't think so.
	That would be really awful.
	Yeah, just, like, an intro.
	I think we had to redo an intro.
	We do it right the first time, Stephen.
	And we're just vibing over here, dude.
	We're vibing, dude.
	That's why, like, it's so relatable and cool.
	Boys, we're at clip 5 and we're at, like, 20 minutes.
	Can we really time this up?
	We gotta keep bragging.
	You guys are, like, hanging out.
	I'm having a great time, but we got a lot of show to cover.
	Alright, let's hit them.
	So now we roll into the proper show, and surprise, it's immediately bigoted and, you know, lacking context.
	This next story, here's a drag queen who taught children to chant.
	And at a certain point you realize, like people will say, hey, you're grooming kids.
	Let's define what that is.
	You are either desensitizing them or you are trying to mold them, propagandize them to your specific way of thinking.
	And I would argue that secularism is basically a religion.
	It's cult brainwashing.
	I certainly think that taking children, putting them in front of a terrifying drag queen, and the drag queen trying to insert support for Palestine and Hamas would qualify.
	None of this is relevant to young children, but this is happening in your country, if
	you can call it that.
	If you're a drag queen and you know it, shout, Free Palestine!
	If you're a drag queen and you know it, and you really want to show it,
	If you're a drag queen and you know it, shout, Free Palestine!
	I don't hear any fathers.
	Yeah.
	That father joke is really good.
	Can I pitch you guys really quick on my new paperback book for kids?
	It's called Beautiful Differences.
	It's me, I'm Steven Crowder.
	Sharks, this book is going to change the lives of all of you Republican groomers out there.
	Okay, hear me out.
	It's got all kinds of what?
	So when the day's over, we can all proclaim, thank God, boys and girls aren't the same.
	Right?
	Am I right?
	Come on.
	Alright, I'll stop you right there.
	Or do you have more?
	No, just if you want to give me 10% for... Alright, I'll give you $1 for $99 and I'm going to shutter it all.
	Okay, I think it's bad and it's for the best.
	Buy it and burn it.
	What's the pecker thing that he's doing?
	Catch and kill.
	Catch and kill.
	We're gonna catch and kill that idea.
	So this was at an event called Queer Storytime for Palestine.
	Okay.
	I guess in context it all makes sense that this would be happening.
	It's organized by the Valley Families for Palestine group in Amherst, Massachusetts, which is a family-centered action in the Connecticut River Valley with solidarity.
	So this was like a mandated event?
	The kids had to be there?
	Is that what you're saying?
	Nope.
	It seems to be fairly clear.
	Do the parents have to be there?
	I mean, they were.
	They were required by law?
	I don't know, I don't think so.
	I think they made the choice to bring it.
	I'm just curious about freedom or not.
	Sure, sure.
	Their Instagram's now private, likely due to harassment after Little Miss Hot Mess' story time.
	Great drag queen name.
	Yes, it's killer.
	The caption of the post about this event said, We came together today in joy and solidarity and learned some important lessons about being ourselves, using our voices to speak out against injustice, and being fabulous while doing it.
	Before whatever else was said was cut off by the New York Post. So who knows what they said next?
	Stephen has some thoughts though. He's a one. I want to hear from a couple of things here
	First off, if you're a drag queen and you know it, what's that saying?
	You're all drag queens, kids!
	Remember they always used to say, hey, you're all a little gay?
	So, just please catch on to that subtext.
	They didn't just come in and say, I'm a drag queen and this is horribly inappropriate and you're children and I'm a narcissist who needs to see myself perform in a sexual manner for children.
	They said, if you're a drag queen and you know it, let's think of what that song is.
	If you're happy and you know it, clap your hands.
	That's designed to get kids to be happy, right?
	It's designed to try and be the catalyst for behavior that you deem desirable in a kid.
	It's conditioning.
	This is conditioning children to be drag queens.
	There's no debate about it.
	It's evil.
	It's wrong.
	This person is a freak.
	Sorry, YouTube dump button.
	Thank God we're on Rumble.
	And remember, Palestine is one of the least gay-friendly areas in the world ever, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever.
	They'd kill you.
	Holy cow, okay.
	This is some Matt Walsh level culture breakdown.
	Yes.
	This is terrible I picture Steven if he believes that that happy clap song is like design conditioning.
	Yeah Yeah, is he like do you think he's ever been like to a funeral and he's like really bummed and he's like Better I had no idea.
	The Happy and You Know It song was to trick kids into being happy.
	Yeah, dude, you've been propagandized to find joy.
	Now it's to trick children into being drag queens.
	Yeah, the crazy thing to me is that people like act like drag and sexuality and adult themes are just like a circle, like there's not a Venn diagram.
	Yeah.
	There's overlap, of course there is, just like there's overlap with every fucking thing.
	And they live for that overlap.
	They act like the overlap is the only thing.
	It bums me out, and I think that what he thinks the problem is that there's these non-traditional things happening, but the problem is that folks like Steven like to stuff people into a box, right?
	And if you say, hey, these are the two boxes, it's really easy to say, well, I don't fit in either of those boxes, so I feel out of place, right?
	If you stop defining the boxes so much, then you're not going to feel like you're out of place because there's not going to be defined boxes to worry about.
	That's it.
	I see people in my life who are like, pink is what girls do.
	Uh-huh.
	You know?
	If you tell somebody, hey, listen, this is what girls do, and then they say, well, I don't want to do that, or this is what guys do, what girls do, and they say, I don't want to do that, you're going to have, like, weird definitions that people are going to have to try and, like, live by.
	We all know.
	Female Neanderthal.
	Uh-huh.
	Pink bow in the hair.
	Pink bow in the hair, of course.
	Yes.
	That's how you know they're girls.
	Of course.
	And the hair was...
	The hair was brushed out.
	All of the body hair was long.
	Man body hair?
	Curly.
	Short.
	That's just how it works.
	So he hits the YouTube dump button because he says drag queens are evil and wrong.
	I think, what did he say, that they're freaks?
	I think he said.
	He did, yep.
	Yeah, he called them straight up freaks.
	He's a piece of shit.
	And also this whole chickens for KFC or minks for fur attitude towards queer folks in support of Palestine.
	Yeah, it's really dumb.
	If you see people suffering, you're allowed to support them and want them to be safe, even if they don't support you.
	I mean, I understand how, from the outside, it's a little bit complex.
	However, it's not.
	It's not complex.
	No.
	If I saw my neighbor being robbed, and I knew they were a Republican, I would try and help them from being robbed.
	Even though we don't see eye to eye.
	You're a Rand Paul.
	The thing is, I hired the robber.
	There we go.
	Now we're talking.
	It is the guy.
	Ron Paul's neighbor.
	Exactly.
	He's just an assassin.
	He goes around tackling Republicans and Libertarians.
	Couple.
	And I feel sorry for that guy, you know?
	Yeah, he's the John Wick of...
	I don't even know what's the John Wick of.
	Yeah, it's just the John Wick of being neighbors, of having a Republican neighbor.
	Yeah, so I found a great interview with Dr. Syed Ashton, Professor of Anthropology and Peace and Conflict Studies.
	He's author of a book called Queer Palestine and the Empire of Critique.
	I'll link to the piece in Them by Sally Tamarkin.
	Yeah, I'll read an excerpt from it in response to the question, what do you say to those who argue queer people shouldn't be in solidarity with Palestinians because homophobia is rampant in Palestinian territories?
	He says, homophobia, transphobia, heteronormativity, patriarchy, sexism, gender, and sexuality-based violence These are realities that we have to grapple with all around the world.
	It's very dangerous to pathologize Palestinian society as uniquely homophobic or that homophobia is endemic to the society without this broader context, as well as without the understanding of the ways that life under brutal military occupation exacerbates homophobia within Palestinian society as well.
	In order for us to deal with questions of how queer people are treated in Palestine, we have to address the broader landscape of the denial of freedom to Palestinians more generally speaking.
	I also think that it's racist to argue that the struggle against racism that's directed against Palestinians should somehow be halted or undermined because there's homophobia within Palestinian society.
	Not only does it erase the existence of queer Palestinians who themselves are subject to both homophobic and racialized violence, it also renders invisibility to the history of LGBTQ activism within Palestinian society.
	But if you think about how Palestinians get exceptionalized, there's this kind of exception when it comes to the oppression of Palestinians, the oppression that we face gets normalized and even justified.
	Back to this pro-Palestinian drag queen story time.
	It sounds like everyone involved was consenting and excited to be participating and that no one was being tricked, manipulated, or indoctrinated in any non-traditional way.
	Obviously, those people who were there, like, they brought their children there.
	The kids didn't drive themselves.
	No, of course.
	Yeah.
	But much like any adult raising children, they have values that they want to pass on.
	Totally.
	I wouldn't take my child to a shooting range.
	Unless gun's really important to you.
	Exactly.
	I wouldn't take my kid to go and butcher a chicken.
	Sure.
	Because I don't butcher my own chickens.
	I buy them.
	You want to hear a couple more things?
	Yeah.
	A couple of things to remember.
	Free speech is a constitutionally protected God-given right.
	I actually would even defend the right of students to simply say, I don't like Jews.
	Which effectively is what some of them are doing, what all of them are doing.
	No, that's not, that's not how that works.
	No, it's not.
	Just watching this guy take a swing like this every week.
	There's things about how he says certain things like this, where like, you know that he knows it's incorrect, like visceral sort of thing that he does with his body that's sort of just like, I have to say it like this.
	I don't know just watching him sometimes I just kind of get this like feeling that I'm like he's just putting it on he's just saying bullshit because he knows that's what the people want to hear but I think like in his like right mind sometimes I think he's like maybe I don't say it like this actually.
	I don't know.
	It's his bigot dinner bell he knows that he has to throw and stuff like that like last week when we talked about... I'm not trying to give him credit or anything but... No!
	He knows what he's doing.
	He's tricking his dumb, dumb audience into tuning in and exploring their hate in a comfortable place.
	Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.
	Dinner time.
	But you know what's the most important thing in life, period?
	I don't know, love?
	No, not being inconvenienced.
	The issue is harassing, it's blocking other students from getting to their classes, obstructing traffic, right?
	Those are crimes.
	So I want to be clear, it's a very consistent argument.
	It's the same thing when we talk about big tech.
	People say, it's a private business.
	No, no, they benefit from the government, section 230.
	It's about transparency, it's about free speech, and it's already a crime, by the way.
	It's a crime!
	To yell fire in a credit theater.
	If there's no fire, And you're deliberately trying to harm people.
	It's already a crime to obstruct traffic.
	It is not a crime to say something that people don't agree with.
	Are we clear on that?
	Sounds good.
	Yeah, makes sense.
	Good.
	It would be more clear if he didn't throw in four other things that have nothing to do with this in the middle.
	Yeah, yeah.
	Very confusing.
	You know, he's trying to say, hey, you swore all three of these things, right?
	Swore this fourth one.
	How did he feel about when they, like, loaded up all the truckers?
	Well, it's a different kind of crime.
	Okay.
	I just was curious, you know, if he felt differently about that.
	You're blocking traffic.
	People are trying to get to class.
	That is more important than, just as an example, the nearly 400 bodies that were dug up in an unmarked grave in Gaza, completely degloved, right, of their skin.
	Yeah, that was pretty bad.
	And their organs stolen.
	Calculus, dude.
	Just the two things and you're looking at each other and it's like your fucking audience has to hear this and be like, well...
	Right?
	But no.
	No, of course they don't care.
	They don't care.
	It's so fucking strange.
	Honestly, if Israel would have just bombed the hospitals like they wanted to do, they wouldn't have found these 400 bodies in the middle of the hospital, right?
	They shouldn't have been there to begin with, I guess.
	That's a great point.
	Great point.
	It's fucked up, it's gross.
	Well, it's just the classic, the right loves to police protesting.
	You know, when Colin Kaepernick kneeled during the National Anthem, they wanted to police that, right?
	Uh, yeah.
	Blocking someone from getting into class, if it is a crime, it probably, like, it's probably not a crime to block someone from, like, blocking sidewalks, they have to go a different route.
	No, protesting and blocking is, it's a crime.
	Depending on how they're blocking is what I'm saying.
	Yeah.
	Do they have to, like, go around?
	Or is it, like, truly, like, unable to get?
	I could speak to that.
	It's actually, the campus is a little confusing to get to, or get around to, but like there's all kinds of parking over there and you could, you know, you could just walk in.
	It's not that big of a deal.
	Okay.
	But it's annoying.
	It's annoying though.
	But you're going to like walk so much on that campus anyway.
	It's like 10 blocks long.
	I just, I mean, at the end of the day, the disruption is the fucking point.
	Yeah.
	And I know that Stephen disagrees with their messaging, but I'd be willing to bet if Stephen found out that there was a place, some place, that said, hey, listen, we know that pedophiles are working out of this place, like maybe the Catholic Church or something.
	Stephen decided to block the road to get to the Catholic Church for the sake of the children.
	Okay.
	He would feel fine about it.
	Of course.
	And everyone on his side would feel fine about it.
	The thing is, is that protesting is designed to be disruptive, so people pay attention to the messaging.
	If you put rules around the protests, then they aren't really protests.
	Yeah, it's civil disobedience, which is the point.
	Yeah, disobedience.
	We also had the Supreme Court ruling that we are actually not allowed to protest in Texas anymore.
	Really?
	There's three states that just got it, and I apologize off the top of my head.
	I'm like, who was it?
	It puts this whole other layer of what is and what is not, you know, available for people to do any longer.
	Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas, and I believe... But those are all, like, the best states, though.
	Yeah, the ones that seem to have people with opinions, I suppose.
	Real strong opinions.
	I believe they've already heard a case on it and Sotomayor I believe already rejected it.
	There seem to be upholding this so in regards to what's happening here on the UT campus it starts getting into this like really murky water of like are these people going to be federally charged for doing something like this and like what we've seen that there are like obvious agitators out there who are you know counter protesting what Steven describes later on in the show is you know they try to say they're not nonviolent and stuff and it's like well the students who are there on behest of the people of Gaza they're not starting shit they're standing their ground and that's exactly what they're supposed to be doing as protesters but
	You know, like the police violence versus the on-looking violence and stuff like that is where it starts getting pretty murky.
	I don't know.
	And I'm excited to talk about this further in a minute, but when they are just doing that, he also has a problem with like when things are quiet and controlled, he also doesn't like that.
	I mean, can we just bring some Pepsi in though?
	I think we should roll in the Pepsi truck.
	Okay.
	Really just pass these guys out.
	Beeping, backing up.
	Beep!
	Beep!
	The Pepsi truck is here!
	Much like Pepsi, um, what isn't this all about?
	Well, it's not about at all anti-semitism.
	Now, it is for them.
	These people are anti-semitic.
	If you look at the funding, they actually do want to eradicate Jews and they hand out flyers with the phrase, death to America.
	You can check our previous episodes to see that all references are available.
	That's not the issue.
	The issue is crime.
	You can check out our previous episodes.
	So, let me make sure I understand.
	So, down with America means death to America, which means eradicate all the Jews?
	All the Jews.
	Okay.
	I think I just don't know English well enough.
	Yeah, you should go back to school.
	Probably should, yeah.
	The old death to America mischaracterization that we covered last week.
	That's the one.
	And lock him up!
	So Steven, this is interesting.
	He put a bit of effort into another Mug Club undercover situation, and things didn't go as planned.
	As it relates to Columbia, you know, we had some boots on the ground there.
	The truth is, it's, it's, it's just, it's, we're gonna get to Austin where there was a little spicier.
	Columbia just got pretty gay.
	Cool.
	So he went to the campus at Columbia or it had someone go there for him.
	Things weren't popping off so... It wasn't controversial enough for him?
	On his face?
	Yeah.
	He could have gone to meetings and talked to people he didn't want to.
	Yeah, that makes sense.
	Sorry about that.
	Can't do anything here.
	There's no one fighting.
	Physically.
	It's feeling a lot like 2001 in here.
	I love 2001.
	Well, not the open slurring of gay people.
	Oh, I thought you were talking more about Janet Jackson's Together Again.
	We're gonna fall into doing a parody like Steven.
	Accidentally.
	Slowly.
	But much better than he would.
	We just do the real song.
	Yes, obviously the shitty part of 2001.
	That's gay.
	Yeah, you know and just just again because things were more peaceful than anticipated.
	They're gay and hilarious.
	Obviously.
	They're just pretending at this point.
	They're just acting like protesters.
	They saw it somewhere in a movie and they're like, I think this is what you do.
	You get together and you repeat after somebody, which is really weird.
	It's like, and we're going to kill Sarah, and we're going to kill Sarah.
	You can just make these people do whatever you want.
	I'm Sarah!
	So there was a clip where they were repeating what the person leading the bullhorn chant was saying.
	Pretty standard protest stuff.
	Yeah, it's like what rappers do Either they don't understand what protesting is or they are just disappointed that it didn't turn into I don't know like a January 6 because they've been told so much that protesting is always violent.
	Yeah, and when it's not truly directly violent like what oh So that's where the fear comes from.
	I mean like is in this particular clip essentially like the students like they say the thing the others can say it back and then it kind of just goes like a little off the rails pretty much.
	They just try to say too much.
	Maybe it was like the teacher or something that was out there was just like hey it's they're like it's all good and they're like okay well I guess they said it's fine so that's cool she says she's like that well okay that's cool yep and that's kind of it it sounds like they came to an agreement And there wasn't really a story there, so.
	Yeah, waste of a weekend and some money.
	Sorry, Mug Club subscribers.
	Yeah, sorry you guys wasted your cash on me going to Columbia.
	Yeah, but I got something for him.
	Let's feed the bass.
	Let's get him pumped, dude.
	We gotta plug the undercover, of course.
	We gotta keep the pejorative vibe moving.
	Whenever you hear the left say free speech, you know it's not true.
	Whenever you hear them say constitution, you know it's not true.
	Whenever you hear them say freedom of choice, you know it's not true because it only applies at that moment in time and never, never at any other.
	And by the way, in Austin, though, things got not only more contentious, but the media, of course, tried to carry the water.
	And you can send your tips to lwctips at protonmail.com.
	We are tracking some leads down right now.
	That wasn't really the undercover thing.
	It was just kind of, there's nothing there.
	It's just gay.
	And is it pejorative?
	Mm-hmm.
	Does he know how dumb he sounds when he says that?
	It's really unpleasant and lazy.
	It's so lazy.
	Yeah, it's a given that he's gonna sound dumb, but it's just, you know, let's do this one again.
	When I say try, you say harder.
	Try!
	Harder.
	Thank you.
	Meanwhile, let's go to UT Austin, in our home state of Texas, and this is where you had pro-Hamas students and non-students, of course, gathered there.
	Here's a clip.
	Demonstrators at UT Austin joining other college students across the country today protesting Israel's war with Hamas and demanding that their schools cut financial ties with Israel.
	By the way, this is just a small kind of overlooked fact.
	Demanding that they divest.
	Shut up.
	Yeah.
	You see these kids going, it's just we're seeing that the student body, you know, that we're not being heard.
	As though you pay taxes, as though you're actually the customer.
	And I get you'd say, yeah, but no, but let's be honest.
	It's either your parents in most cases or the government who's actually the customer because they're paying the bill.
	What gives you the right to tell someone else what to do with their money?
	What authority do you think you have?
	This is the complete misunderstanding of democracy or a representative republic.
	They have no idea.
	Let's just start with that.
	We demand...
	No!
	Don't demand.
	No!
	We're done.
	We're done here.
	You can do that.
	Yeah, this is also crazy.
	I bought my house from the bank and they let me like drill holes and shit in it.
	Yeah.
	Isn't that crazy?
	But they own it.
	Technically.
	It's like if I'm over here and I'm like giving you $30,000 a year I kinda wanna have, like, a little bit of say of what's happening around me.
	Just, like, you know?
	I get this degree here.
	I live here.
	They're the vote-with-your-dollar types, right?
	Yeah.
	Well, the thing is, Stephen's implying that these people aren't the ones even paying their own tuition.
	Sure.
	Who cares?
	That it's the government, he thinks?
	Which, apparently, he thinks student loans are the government paying for your school.
	But, also, I mean, like, to, like, the larger point of this is that, like, he says, when has that ever worked?
	And, like, when has it never not worked?
	Like, The whole thing with getting your university to divest is that like, if one does it, then they fall like dominoes.
	They all have to do it.
	Yes.
	You know, like Columbia University, for instance, has like just set up a university in Israel, right?
	Like they have a campus in Israel now.
	Yeah.
	The people who are Palestinian... You mean the pro-Hamas people?
	Yeah, the pro-Hamas.
	I'm sorry, yes, in the in the Crowderverse, yes.
	Those same students that go to those schools, that have family still in Gaza, in Palestine, These schools are funding and getting funding from war contractors, weapons contractors, right?
	So they're like, we don't want you to take money from them so that they can continue to produce bombs that will then go blow up the people that we know that still fucking live there.
	When you look at, like, uh, he's gonna talk about Kent State later, right?
	Like, the whole thing with Kent State was about the Vietnam War and, like, Columbia University now celebrates their history of being like, oh, hey, we had a big stake in that and trying to act like it was their fucking idea.
	Like, Dean cool guy Columbia was out there like, I told you guys the whole fucking time.
	No, my friend, it was the students who made that happen.
	Completely ignoring that version of history is fuckin' for dumb people.
	That's how dumb people do this.
	Well, so it's for Steven, then.
	100%.
	It's also for Gerald, who is very bad at all of this.
	It's also a dumb request.
	Divest from what?
	They did the same thing at Columbia.
	Basically, that was one of their things.
	Like, you have to divest from all things Israel, basically.
	And I'm like, so, if there's a Jewish person involved in this company or in this organization or in this fund, I can't make money?
	Right.
	Do you know how limiting that will be?
	Right.
	And it doesn't make any sense to begin with.
	Because there are so many Jews in business.
	No!
	It's a stupid request!
	It's like- Because there are so many Jews in business.
	It's like in Die Hard where he's like, you know, in the Seven Members of the Crimson Dawn.
	This whole Jew equals Israel thing is such a bullshit talking point.
	I think the reason why they feel this way is because they associate the U.S.
	they get money from Israel. You're an idiot.
	It's just more of the same. Shut up Gerald.
	This whole Jew equals Israel thing is such a bullshit talking point. I think the reason why they feel this way
	is because they associate like the US being Christian.
	So it's easier for them to view it like that.
	Exactly, yeah.
	Because they don't see it as like, Israel is making decisions.
	Not Jewish people worldwide are making these decisions.
	Trump has said in the past few months, you're not Jewish if you don't support Israel.
	Oh, right.
	Okay.
	And that's Trump's opinion?
	Well, it's a fact because he's sitting president.
	It's just the general lack of nuance, you know?
	It's the binary life that they live.
	Yeah.
	You know?
	Oh, you're from Israel?
	Cool.
	All the Jews in the world are from Israel.
	It must be simultaneously very simple and exhausting.
	It's exhausting hearing them try and deal with it.
	Yeah, the enemy, Dennis.
	Nice, the enemy.
	Who is Stephen's enemy?
	It's not protesters.
	The enemy of his friend is his... It's about the media, entertainment, political, industrial complex.
	They carry the water for these, these students are just useful pawns.
	So their claim is it was all peaceful.
	Okay.
	My problem is with the media.
	Echoing that.
	The truth, the truth, No it wasn't!
	So I mean he flipped on the screen a couple tweets of people saying that this was a peaceful protest and specifically there was a peaceful protest before the police showed up, which is a fact.
	Yeah.
	I don't know if you saw what happened.
	A student was interviewed by Monica Madden at KXAN and this is what they said.
	If the police had never came, we would have followed the schedule set out by PSC.
	It was a variety of scholastic teach-ins, lunch breaks.
	It was, you know, study hours on the lawn, a peaceful demonstration.
	And now that the police have come, it has now turned into like a clash of students wanting our own campus sovereignty and UT Austin and UTPD and state troopers trying to quell dissent.
	Which is no surprise when the police show up and try to break up a protest the way that they did, especially in this case.
	Yeah.
	It's gonna go bad.
	Things are not gonna be peaceful.
	It's not had a good couple of years with our police and protesting.
	That's for sure.
	People, Stephen specifically, Yeah.
	needs to separate out this idea that humans can't have reactions to aggressions towards them, right?
	The violence was a result of the friction introduced, not necessarily the protest in general, right?
	For example, if there is a flame and there's gasoline, you can't say that both those things are bad.
	When you mix them up, there will be problems.
	That's it.
	You know?
	And I'm not saying that the protesters should be violent.
	Of course not.
	I'm just saying that if someone approaches them and implies that they are being violent or causes them to be more violent because you're pushing them into a corner...
	Then that stuff can happen, and if you want to prevent the violence, you have to approach them with good faith arguments.
	Yeah, and I mean, witnesses to what happened on that first day of protest were saying the police were pepper spraying the crowd and using, quote, honestly, really, really brutal force.
	Sounds like a snowflake take.
	Also saying many students were throwing up as they were being pulled into cop cars.
	It's very unprecedented.
	No one thought that this would be happening.
	I'm surprised nobody thought that they'd be throwing up while going into cop cars.
	I mean, that's what Pepper's Grace is.
	So what are you thinking about?
	What do you think for the day?
	You know, maybe some lunch breaks, maybe some studying, maybe some vomit right before we get in the chopper.
	Sure, of course.
	57 people were arrested during the protests at the University of Texas at Austin.
	Today it was a lot more than that, Jared.
	I'm not really keeping up with what's going on.
	I haven't been able to do much research on it beyond just kind of seeing what's happening on, you know, through the lens of Instagram and stuff like that.
	Sure.
	Of course, we can't trust anything that I just said because it's all the media's spin of the situation.
	Yeah, and Stephen's not the media, actually.
	Interesting.
	Yeah, it's crazy.
	Well, that's not what Alex Jones said to him the other week, but charges got dismissed against 46 arrested.
	Thank goodness.
	But Jared, the law.
	You're breaking the law when you're obstructing people's freedom of movement.
	They're trying to get the classes.
	This is what happened in the 60s.
	We'll get to Kent State in a second.
	Everyone else at Kent State was super, super pissed off because of the riots.
	Everyone?
	Because they were trying to attend classes and it was being disrupted.
	And we've seen this happen across the country.
	We've seen what's happened at Columbia, at NYU, at Harvard, which became incredibly violent.
	And they said, we're not going to do this at UT.
	We are not going to allow this to escalate to that point because you know what happens?
	When you allow it to escalate, it gets more violent.
	The police gave them an opportunity to disperse.
	They didn't.
	I mean this whole situation, the way Steven's talking about protests and how people should be respecting police, I just, I bit my tongue so much.
	I can't help but what about January 6th?
	That was the tour.
	It was a walking tour?
	I think so.
	No, that's what I read on the media.
	Oh, okay.
	I'm sorry, the media didn't tell me that.
	Okay.
	Telegram probably.
	Stephen.
	Trustworthy Stephen.
	Great.
	I just think it's the same stuff that he always does.
	And the police were not like, hey, um, could you guys move along?
	You know, like, can we just clear a path to be able to go to class?
	One specific incident that involved the media directly that Stephen and the boys just wouldn't shut up about, when things got heated, a cameraman got caught up in the policing of the protest.
	Okay, I want to skip ahead to the clip MSM Arrest because he said that and then of course the media Fox 7 implied or they tried to make you think that the police were just sweeping up journalists along with the lawbreakers indiscriminately.
	We were up here closer to the protest.
	The DPS has just pushed all of these protesters off of the grass in the middle of the plaza here.
	And as they were doing that, one of the Fox 7 photographers got caught up in that.
	They did put him in handcuffs.
	They took his gear and him and that photographer is in this van here to be transported, assumedly, to jail.
	So let's be clear here.
	Because you're about to see the clip and you're going to say, well, maybe at that point in time, people didn't know.
	Well, he knew.
	He knew.
	Carlos knew.
	And he said, I wasn't, I wasn't pushing it off.
	I wasn't, I wasn't hitting an officer.
	I was pushed.
	Okay.
	His name is Carlos.
	Right.
	He got swept up in it.
	Do you hear the voice?
	Now here's the truth, and seldom do you actually have verifiable claims, and in my opinion, get to witness that they are completely false.
	He clearly, aggressively, if not hit, assaulted, pushed into an officer with no one behind him forcing his hand.
	Clearly, aggressively, I'm just writing these down so I don't forget.
	What I mentioned earlier is that sometimes I think that there's the two sides of Steven where he wants to like tell the truth, but also he knows how he has to say it.
	Yeah.
	Or like say it differently, you know what I mean?
	Like not necessarily tell the truth, because like, why would he do that?
	But the idea that I'm going at here is when he says, to be clear, that's the tell, I think, is that he's about to lie to his audience.
	That's where he's about to obscure something.
	All right.
	Does that, does that make sense?
	To be clear.
	Too obscure.
	Not being clear.
	Interesting.
	He says that the media is trying to portray an image of police sweeping through, uh, arresting cameramen and media, but like literally he plays a clip where the reporter just says one.
	That's exactly what's happening.
	One of the cameramen.
	One of them.
	He also calls them mainstream media, but it's like Fox Local Station.
	Fox.
	Count it.
	Steven probably has more viewers than Fox 7 does.
	Well, that's interesting.
	That's punching what direction?
	That's throwing elbows maybe, yeah?
	Steven attempts empathy, I think.
	He struggles a bit and then labels someone he doesn't know at all in a situation he knows very little about a piece of shit.
	Perfect.
	Imagine this is you with your camera phone.
	Would you think that you could do that to an officer from behind consequence-free?
	Is this poor innocent little Carlos as the media has portrayed it?
	Or do you think that this guy is a professional instigator, sorry piece of shit, who just for this time happened to get caught?
	Professional instigator?
	I guess we should explain what happened in this video.
	I haven't seen the video, but I feel like I saw maybe a part of it.
	I think I have a clip for you, and I'll put a link in the show notes.
	Oh, it's even labeled for Dennis.
	Yeah, you see that?
	Clearly!
	Clearly.
	There's nothing clear about that.
	What else did he trip?
	Especially when you have a friggin' camera and you walk around.
	Wait, it's interesting you say it.
	Seems like he tripped.
	So it's got the portrait view on the camera.
	It's vert.
	Our cameraman in question here fades completely out of view from the camera itself and then kind of stumbles back in, then is thrown to the ground.
	The opposite of clear.
	He steps out of frame entirely.
	The last thing that you see him do before he goes off is he adjusts the camera on his shoulder.
	It doesn't come off his shoulder by any means, but he also he adjusted before that second adjustment as well.
	You can kind of tell that he's just trying to like make sure he's got his stuff.
	It's comfortable up there on his shoulder.
	He's shooting this.
	It's a big-ass camera.
	He takes some steps forward.
	Yeah, he takes a step forward and then he takes a couple steps to the left where he's completely out of frame for a couple of seconds there.
	Until he aggressively is ripped back by two police officers.
	Does Steven really think that he is a professional instigator?
	That was really interesting.
	What type of lunatic would be like, you know, I really want to instigate shit.
	I literally have a press pass.
	So let me, let me, I'm gonna fake being a cameraman for 10 years and when the time is right, when the time is right, I'm gonna pounce and instigate some shit.
	I'm gonna get him on the neck, just gently, just the lens hood, just the matte box.
	Did you show Dennis the second video?
	No, I didn't.
	It's just from his perspective.
	He literally just trips into the back of a police officer.
	Yeah, they really make a meal out of it.
	This ends up being most of the show and it's super boring.
	They come off really unprepared in this segment.
	Tim is like scrambling to find the right clips, find the right place, play the slow motion version.
	But they continue because it's very important.
	Here's another view from the cameraman.
	Oh, that's right.
	It's his camera.
	Did he make contact with the officer?
	There he is.
	Did you make Gerald laugh?
	It's so clear!
	Let's play it again and then I want to go back to that slow-mo, okay?
	Because watch this.
	Let's count how long he's making contact with the officer.
	Because here's the thing.
	It's very important.
	No one is pushing him.
	So if no one is pushing him, your job as a photographer, as he's labeled, is to get the shot.
	As he's labeled.
	How do you get a shot if you are up on helmet, shoulder, torso?
	What shot are you trying to get?
	What footage are you trying to get?
	No one pushed you there.
	That's irrefutable.
	So is this some kind of new Dutch Cabinet of Dr. Caligari angle that I'm not quite used to?
	Let's play it again and let's count how long he's making contact with the officer.
	You want a slow-mo first?
	Let's play that one real speed.
	Real speed, here we go.
	Okay?
	And right there.
	Push it in.
	One, two, three, four.
	Call it four to five seconds of making contact.
	And that officer's not looking.
	He doesn't know what that hard object is.
	He's just showing the back of this guy's neck.
	It clearly shows that the camera person was out of control in that moment.
	I want Stephen to take a camera.
	I want him to put it up to his eye and look through the viewfinder.
	And I want him to walk around his studio.
	Sure.
	And not trip on anything.
	It's difficult because the millimeters in the lens are different than your eyes.
	Of course it's a challenge walking around, especially when there's a friggin crowd of people around you.
	Yeah.
	Is it really that unreasonable to trip, lose your balance, stumble a bit?
	Even if there's no person directly pushing this cameraman, he has body weight.
	There is gravity.
	Yeah.
	There is balance at play.
	How much does that camera weigh?
	I don't know.
	Probably a significant amount.
	Probably at least 10 pounds.
	10 pounds.
	10-15.
	The camera person, there's clips of him leaving, I guess while being arrested, saying that he was pushed.
	But I have to say, in the heat of the moment, recall of what happened in that situation... Yeah, he totally knows.
	You don't know.
	Have no idea.
	If there are cables involved, that can feel like a push.
	A thousand percent.
	Also, if you just trip, you don't know what happens sometimes.
	Yeah, sometimes it feels like you might.
	The whole crowd is moving towards him.
	And it's police that are walking everyone in that direction.
	So it's like, as a media person, it's like your responsibility to document that.
	So he's not in the wrong being where he's at, right?
	So it's just like, I don't know, the crowd's moving.
	Well, of course he's not in the wrong.
	He's paid to be there.
	He's paid to instigate.
	Professionally.
	Exactly.
	Soros money.
	He's not a hobbyist.
	He's got all this.
	He's got this.
	This is an amateur instigation.
	Coke money, probably.
	Yeah.
	Probably some Coke brothers.
	Huh?
	You like that?
	I do.
	Pepsi.
	Thank you.
	Oh, I gotcha, I gotcha.
	But they didn't do anything when this cop got bumped into.
	Basically nothing to this man.
	By the way, they didn't beat his ass.
	They got him off of the guy.
	And arrested him.
	They might have done some camera damage, but...
	Yeah.
	And he'll probably get off scot-free.
	So four to five seconds.
	Do we all agree?
	Four to five seconds where he's making contact where he could not possibly get any kind of footage on his camera.
	Now let's see, why would he do that?
	Again, was he pushed as he claimed in the media did?
	Okay, who's pushing him?
	Anyone behind him?
	Maybe the big hip lady's bag?
	Nope.
	Nope.
	Never touch a cop for four seconds.
	No.
	Cardinal rule, dude.
	That's what we're learning here today.
	That's the fifth amendment.
	How the camera moves, too, I was going to mention in the second video where it's from the actual camera's perspective where it just kind of goes like in and out on the cop and it never actually touches the cop.
	I think he touched the cop.
	I think he touched the cop.
	With like with like the edge of the the lens with his hand probably the matte box.
	So there's a well Yeah, he put his hand on the cops back probably to balance himself, right?
	Oh, but you're saying when when Steven said you don't know what the plastic thing on your back is This is like when you're at a show and you get like pushed out of the mosh pit into somebody who's on the edge of the mosh pit sure and they turn and look at you like you're the asshole You know when the whole group shifts in a mosh pit and everyone kind of like loses their footing a little bit?
	Yes.
	That's also kind of... Well, here's the thing, man.
	When there's crowds and there's that many people, it's not crowds anymore.
	You're looking at friggin' fluid dynamics.
	Sure.
	Think about Halloween.
	Like last year, I think, there was like tons of people who died at a Korean Halloween party.
	Yeah.
	Because there were so many people.
	I assure you there weren't professional instigators out to assassinate those people.
	Are you sure?
	I believe that, but I mean I also, I've believed off the wrong time.
	Great.
	This guy 100% tripped.
	And this is honestly when the attitude softened a little bit, probably because they realized after watching this clip like seven times at different speeds that it certainly looks like he tripped.
	I want to say, maybe he's trying to get a good shot, he's trying to get really close in on there.
	Even if that's the case, you can't cry about it afterwards.
	Like, oh, I didn't do anything.
	You gotta be like, yeah, shit, I accidentally ran into a cop.
	What happened?
	Well, I got too close.
	I got too close and got arrested.
	I got too close and cops did what they do.
	Protect themselves and their squad.
	Yeah.
	Look, I don't unilaterally back the blue.
	I do not think that was an abuse of authority.
	That was, as far as he knew, an active, immediate threat.
	And I think this matters because I think this guy is lying.
	But you also have to allow for some leeway here of some misunderstandings.
	If you're an officer, you're going in, that's a big part of what happened at Kent State.
	You just know police went out, or sorry, National Guard went out and murdered kids.
	No, that's not what happened.
	Tragedy?
	Sure.
	We all know a cop's job is to protect their squad.
	Squad first.
	Public second.
	Hey, squad's first, and then pink slips is second.
	And we're racing for them tonight at midnight.
	You know, protect and serve the squad.
	We're just taking pot shots, right?
	And he says, you know, I don't want to call you a liar or whatever, you know?
	Call you a fucking liar, Steven.
	I've never seen you not back to blue.
	You got that boot down the throat all the time.
	What is that about?
	Unilaterally back to blue?
	That's fucking bullshit.
	Shut up.
	Boot's not on my neck.
	The boot is in my neck.
	I mean, the only day we know it was January 6th.
	He didn't back to blue then.
	But he still kind of does still at the same time.
	He's priming his Kent State talk at the same time.
	But before we get there, a topic that I have been waiting to get into.
	And I've lived this on the flip side, right?
	At the Lansing Right to Work protest, where a guy obviously sucker punched me on national television.
	He had 10 union members follow me in my car, say they were going to kill me with a gun.
	You hear them on camera saying they're going to kill me with a gun.
	And the media came out and said, oh, Steven Crowder pushed him first.
	But the footage clearly shows he's falling into me.
	Yeah.
	Now, if they want to say he tripped, And thought that I pushed him because he was drunk and I was getting, I was getting soused off of secondhand vapors.
	Fine.
	The media never corrected it.
	And he had a liberal DA there.
	Nothing ever came of it.
	And I had gigabytes of footage that was never even submitted as evidence for a deposition I didn't know about and wasn't even there.
	That happened.
	That kind of happened.
	Do you have any memory of this?
	I do remember the video of him getting punched.
	Punched in the face, yes.
	I have an image.
	I look at it sometimes.
	Just get juiced and he's wincing, his face flying.
	Can you imagine, like, one of these big Union guys and he says, I'm gonna kill you with a gun.
	Yeah, you know, that's what people with guns say when they're threatening you.
	I'm gonna kill you, man.
	There's a clip from I Think You Should Leave the Driving Crooner.
	Do you remember that?
	Yeah, yeah.
	They had the Pratt Boys want to beat his ass.
	We're gonna kill you!
	It's simply too good.
	So this was kind of Stephen's big victim-y break.
	December 11th, never forget, 2012.
	Thousands of protesters gathered outside the Michigan State Capitol to demonstrate against the proposed right-to-work laws, which aimed to prohibit unions from requiring workers to pay union dues as a condition of employment.
	So Stephen attended the protest with a camera crew to document the event and fuck with the demonstrators.
	Well, anything else is... Why would you be there?
	Yeah.
	During the protest, he engaged in heated debates with union members and supporters, expressing his opposition to the unions and also baiting them into confrontational interactions.
	Changed my mind.
	Yeah, and at one point amidst the chaotic atmosphere, he was punched by a protester.
	So there's video footage of this incident that was circulated widely on social media and news outlets because, of course, at this point he worked for Fox News.
	He was employed by them.
	Sure.
	Because they needed a really funny guy.
	They needed comedy, dude.
	Gotta break this up a bit.
	The first place that this footage aired was a segment on Hannity.
	This newly edited version of the footage started playing on Fox News ahead of all these conversations with Steven about how awful the situation was.
	Okay, yeah.
	He discussed it on his show, using it as an example of what he perceived as the intolerance of the political left.
	Stephen, of course, behaved litigiously, as he usually does, attempting to sue the man who punched him.
	But thanks to his good friend Cenk at the Young Turks, who supplied the Ingram County Prosecutor with the original footage, eventually it was determined that no charges needed to be filed.
	Here's a clip from the Young Turks.
	Now, it's unclear from that tape whether Crowder was the first one to attack or if it was another right-winger who pushed that man down, but the prosecutor's office decided that they were not going to pursue charges because that man was obviously acting in self-defense.
	When you look at the full tape, that's of course exactly why Fox News didn't want to show you the full tape after initially airing it by Basically by accident.
	But once they had their story about a union thug, oh my God, Steven Crowder!
	And the prosecutor, I remember at the time, a reporter here on The Young Turks, kept saying, I don't understand why Crowder won't cooperate with us.
	He got assaulted, we can see it on the tape.
	That's when they had only the edited tape.
	Why doesn't he come in instead?
	Crowder went on Fox News and challenged that guy to a fight in the People's Octagon.
	Wait, wait, wait a second.
	What?
	Yeah, that's interesting, huh?
	He's got gigabytes of footage he wasn't allowed to bring to the deposition?
	Something he didn't even know anything about?
	I would promise you that if you were going to be tried for a crime, and you had an alibi of sorts, any attorney would be able to get that in front of the red eyes.
	Of course.
	The red eyes.
	The weirdest parallel that I see in this whole situation is I ended up re-watching the punch tape a couple times.
	It's kind of like a smoke break for me.
	And I realized it is unclear what Stephen did to the man before he ended up on the ground.
	Because Stephen is obscured out of frame on the left side of the video, which is almost interesting, don't you think, that he would have some sort of, I don't know, feelings about the clarity of video?
	Yeah, yeah.
	Well, I think the problem with this also is that in that instance and in this cameraman instance, There has to be, like, a who was in the wrong.
	Sure.
	And it's not like that.
	Oh, I tripped.
	Sorry about that.
	I'm sorry I overreacted yanking you back.
	It's okay to have two people who made poor decisions.
	It's not a winning thing.
	And I believe the charges have been dropped against the cameraman.
	They shouldn't be.
	Yeah.
	Because he's a criminal professional instigator.
	He's a professional instigator.
	I think that's right.
	Whenever there is chaos, there is problems within that chaos, right?
	So if you bring chaos, There will be problems, right?
	Here's an example I'll share.
	One time when I was in Georgia, I was doing a photo shoot.
	Somebody threw a firework, an artillery shell up over a fence, I think.
	All I know is that there was a loud explosion.
	It lit a bush on fire and it burned one of my clients.
	I had no idea where it came from.
	I ran to the closest place I could get to where I could try and get water to put out this bushfire.
	I have no fucking idea what happened because there was chaos.
	Well, that's why they say witness testimony is usually not very reliable.
	Yeah, because it's all weird and people freak out.
	Yeah.
	Video evidence is great, and if you have gigabytes... Share it.
	...that proves your case, share it, yeah.
	Probably share it.
	Here's seven angles of me getting decked in the head.
	Yeah, he just was embarrassed.
	He didn't want to show them.
	They try and draw these comparisons, and then they fit in a comparison that is actually completely incomparable.
	They'll say, this is just like Tiananmen Square.
	Right, exactly the same.
	Yeah, I was gonna cut that clip because of course someone somewhere is gonna tweet something like that that's hyperbolic.
	Yeah, and well here's the thing is that you can compare them in that it's just authorities overreacting.
	Yeah, I mean one did involve the death of 10,000 people.
	Of course, yes, and that's the contrast.
	Right?
	You can use it to illustrate a point.
	It's like when you say you're comparing apples and oranges.
	They're both fucking fruits.
	Sure.
	You can compare them.
	You can compare those situations.
	It's authorities instigating protesters.
	Bottom line.
	Bottom line.
	Less impactful than Tiananmen Square, obviously.
	And if you can't see a similarity there, then you're an idiot.
	Well, let's simplify something else.
	Simplify it.
	Kent State.
	What happened at Kent State?
	We all know about Kent State here.
	May 4th, 1970, the Ohio Army National Guard fired and killed, fired at and killed four students on the Kent State campus.
	Nine were wounded.
	Basically, Nixon sent these folks in to quell the protest for the Vietnam War.
	Because we are expanding the war into Cambodia.
	Exactly.
	And same similar thing is that we learn from the past.
	We don't need to escalate these things with like bringing the National Guard in.
	That's why it's such like a...
	Like a visceral thing because all the history that is attached to these students dying for just simply saying, please divest from the war.
	And guess what they did?
	And now Ken State pats themselves on the back about it.
	Well, Jared, I gotta say thanks for sharing that, but it's all bullshit.
	Bullshit, dude.
	And the local police, because of the three days of rioting, and at that point there had been police officers who had been assaulted, they were being called to the campus.
	They said, we know we're gonna have another day of, another night of looting and fires.
	And they said, we have to protect our own.
	We actually, we can't send all of our officers down there.
	So they requested the National Guard.
	The National Guard went in, they ran some dry runs in a field and they had knives and rocks thrown at them.
	By the way, none of this, none of this is in dispute.
	There are other things that are in dispute.
	For example, there may have been some agitators there who deliberately tried to escalate things so that the National Guard fired.
	Tape that, combine it with an old school gas mask.
	You know what that's like?
	It's foggy, you can't breathe.
	Imagine you've been running drills, dry runs, rehearsals, whatever you want to call it, in these open fields while kids are assaulting you throughout the day.
	Probably be a little bit hectic.
	Maybe you have some ricochet, maybe you have some backfire sound because one round gets fired and all of a sudden more.
	But if you want to believe that this was just the National Guard sent in by Nixon to shoot students for no reason, oh, one other key fact.
	Most of the students Such a big but.
	Such a huge but.
	with these activists. They wanted to get to their class and after three days
	something had to be done.
	Not a good thing that students were shot. But we often hear the National Guard was
	sent in and shot kids.
	Why were they sent in? Doesn't that matter?
	Such a big but. Such a huge but. Oh it's my favorite stop on this track,
	Justification Station. Let's pull up.
	They were wearing gas masks and they were Thai and they heard pops and bangs so it's okay that they opened fire.
	Yeah it's fine.
	This cop felt a hand on his back and that's that's his Vietnam invasion.
	Sure, that's my Cambodia.
	This is my Cambodia.
	Jesus Christ.
	Really quickly, he keeps bringing up that these students can't get to class thing.
	Sure.
	Every college student I've ever met in my entire life, if they could not make it to class because of a protest... Class is canceled.
	Yes, they'd email their professor and be like, sorry I can't get there, protesters are blocking me.
	They'd be like, fuck your excuse, I'm gonna stay home.
	I mean, obviously that's generalizing what students feel.
	Of course.
	Right?
	But I've never met a college student who wouldn't do exactly that.
	For sure.
	Well, I'm an apathetic 18 year old and I actually can't really tell if there's like history happening in front of my eyes.
	I mean, like not to even like oversimplify what I was saying earlier, but like, yeah, there's of course there was a fucking riot on the campus.
	It was like.
	That's also the same time around then that there was like bombs being dropped off at campuses going off and stuff This is it's a very volatile time.
	It sure was through the late 60s and through the early 70s.
	It's just very It oversimplifies everything that he's doing here and I know that I am doing the same thing as well just to kind of like make a point but like And I guess that point just being simply that his assertion that like these kids are just like oh I just want to get to class and like my my fellow students here my peers are just like being such jerks it's like I'm yeah totally I'm sure there's a few of those people but for the most part they were all kind of on board with it right like
	And even if they weren't, these people are still like patting themselves on the back all these years later saying that like, hey, this is like, you know, we did something for America here.
	We protested.
	We got them to like divest from the war.
	And it's the same people who aren't... Steven want to extend Vietnam?
	What are we talking about?
	But I think the reason why he's doing this and veering off that the kids want to get to class because I think he's using that as a way for his listeners to justify that their kids are the good kids.
	Because their kids are lying to their parents about going to school?
	Yeah, their kids are the ones that are going to go to class.
	And if you're listening to this, you're the one who would go to class.
	He's trying to just have that little bit of an out for his college student listeners.
	I just, I'm disturbed by the justification of people losing their lives.
	They just want to get to damn class.
	If the National Guard is getting rocks thrown at them, they might consider not going in in an aggressive way to a protest.
	If there wasn't violence before they showed up, then maybe back off.
	Yeah.
	I mean, the ROTC building did get burned down, which probably ticked them off.
	Yes.
	Yes.
	Because they're army people.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	It's like your boys shot and killed.
	Like the guys that you're trying to be like killed our peers.
	They killed our friends.
	So we're gonna burn down your building.
	Speak for yourself, dude.
	Bunch of leftists.
	I cannot reiterate this enough.
	If you are wondering, how is this happening across the country, and how am I seeing so many videos out there of these kids who have no idea why they are even there?
	We've covered this.
	Go click that video.
	The protests are organized by Students for Justice in Palestine, who are connected to Hamas-linked non-profits, organizations, and the government of Qatar, who happens to be the base for Hamas headquarters and is the single largest foreign Can you imagine a Crowder fan trying to explain that to like a co-worker at the office?
	These students are useful idiots to them. That is not in dispute
	Please reiterate that and let everybody know so that you actually have your eyes wide open
	Can you imagine a Crowder fan trying to explain that to like a co-worker at the office?
	Okay, so listen, it's not actually Israel Hormoz at all. It's a cover. He did his point us in the direction of a video
	I haven't seen this video yet I'm sorry
	But I didn't read an op-ed in the hill from Paul R. Moore who's the former assistant US attorney who?
	Served as chief investigative counsel at the US Department of Education probably should be
	Defunded he's super critical of pro-palestine college groups pointing out that social media posts from several of
	them said things like I Guess they just called Israel a brutal settler colonial ethno
	states Another example was people generally talking about
	communism or Marxism and one One group even had a bake sale in loving memory of Palestine's martyrs.
	This rubbed him the wrong way, and this is likely what Stephen is talking about in regards to these groups being used by terrorists.
	In Paul's piece, he goes on to say, quote, in response to the violence openly advocated by the SJP, which is the group Stephen referenced in its chapters, why would our great universities not unequivocally protect the rights of all its students and faculty to be free from the fear and violence and intimidation?
	Financial interests may be a factor.
	In 2020, the Education Department reported that, beginning in 2009, the flow of foreign money to universities, especially from instrumentalities of the governments of Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and China, rose massively, while financial and operational partnerships between universities and those governments expanded exponentially.
	Qatari money also funds the operations of Hamas, which was designated a terrorist organization by the U.S.
	military in 1997.
	That's their connection.
	Instrumentality.
	Money.
	Qatar.
	Terrorists.
	It's that simple.
	Do I need to put a string on a cork board?
	You wouldn't need much string if that's all you're considering.
	It means?
	Again, I mean, I don't need to go to bat for these Middle Eastern influences, but... Of course.
	I don't think it's as simple as he's trying to paint this.
	It's not that simple, but also think about it this way.
	Forget about where the money's coming from.
	Think about the core messaging here.
	Sure.
	These people who are protesting are protesting saying, hey, you're killing a bunch of civilians over in Palestine.
	Nobody has said attacking Hamas is the problem.
	They're just saying that, hey, burning your entire house down to exterminate the spider is bad for the house.
	So, Students for Justice in Palestine, they have been around for a very long time, and they work hand-in-hand with another organization called Jewish Voice for Peace.
	So, this is fine.
	And sometimes people protest because they believe in things.
	I don't know if that's foreign for Stephen.
	Interesting.
	Weird.
	But, I mean, if it is foreign for Stephen, he probably hates it.
	Do you think Stephen's ever protested?
	Probably.
	He probably protested when they, like, stopped Pizza Fridays or something.
	That would suck if they ever did that.
	Yeah.
	If you tolerate and encourage behavior, like crime, turns out you get more crime.
	California is the perfect example of that.
	The Los Angeles mayor, Karen, that's her name.
	Well, that's perfect, actually.
	Karen Bass, her house was almost robbed Sunday morning and it's just it's not funny but it's kind of funny.
	Not funny actually.
	Everything is that to him.
	It's not but it is.
	It's not funny but it is funny.
	And I don't always back the blue but I do right now.
	What did he say last week?
	He's like I don't believe you should get your ass kicked for something like that but I kind of do this time.
	I forget what it was last week.
	The LA mayor Karen Bass was in her house when someone broke the front window and came in and they are gonna do their best to frame this as a person who is Probably an undocumented immigrants.
	This is not the case It was a man named Ephraim Hunter in a drug-induced psychosis when he broke into the mayor's home from Massachusetts Probably was at that queer book reading thing and he lost his mind.
	That's what happened.
	Really?
	He got corrupt No, he moved to LA to escape bad influences and his mom said, quote, my son is losing his mind.
	He thought people were chasing him and he ran into that house randomly.
	He wasn't trying to break into the mayor's house.
	But you wouldn't think that if you heard Stephen's take.
	I love this.
	I love it.
	You get exactly what you deserve.
	Well, here's the thing.
	In California, you know, this is going on for such a long time because priorities, they actually have coined a term for it and they have to use it with a straight face.
	Here's local media.
	South American organized crime groups have been burglarizing some of San Diego's most affluent neighborhoods.
	It's known as burglary tourism.
	I like her ocean camouflage dress too.
	to get approved in into the US.
	Investigators say they're tough to catch because they stick around for a while,
	burglarize a bunch of homes and then returned to their home country and are
	replaced by a new group of thieves.
	The DA says they carefully select homes to target often along canyons
	and other open space areas which they use to slip in and out undetected.
	Oh, it's almost like they're burglars.
	It's like they're trying to Is he just learning that burglary exists?
	I think he might be.
	I wonder what he thought door locks were for.
	It's the classic crime only exists because you're soft on it, but that's just not the case.
	I mean, I'm surprised he's not fully Pelosi-ing this.
	Totally.
	He kind of is, but fully ignoring that there's resolution and information surrounding the initial story that he's using as a launching point to be racist.
	People so often forget that crime is born of poor conditions.
	Sure.
	People feeling like they have to do crime to in order to survive.
	Nobody just like, I mean some people do, but very few people just like doing crime.
	Like usually it's like, you know, oh, I'm addicted to drugs.
	I need to get my fix or my family has no money and I need to go steal something to make money.
	You know, it's usually those kind of things that drive people to crime.
	Yeah.
	If you want to truly resolve crime, you have to make the world a better place for people to live in.
	Oh, but this is in California.
	Oh, shit, yeah, nevermind, yeah.
	More crime, please.
	You mean Kamifornia?
	That's the place.
	Gerald doing this, like, I can't believe that there's, like, people doing crimes on people.
	This is the funniest thing I've ever heard.
	He thinks it's hilarious.
	It's a really bizarre thing for somebody who's, like, I don't know.
	A Christian?
	Yeah, a new father.
	Well, not a new father again, I suppose.
	To another, yes.
	And just sort of his entire... I don't know.
	It's just... What is funny about this exactly?
	You just don't get it, dude.
	I guess not.
	Pedro Hernandez, yes, every time you come to this country, crime goes up.
	Approved!
	Must be a coincidence.
	Now, I don't know if you know this, but it's almost as though they've made this bed.
	For example, you have these bail laws in California that basically allow thieves, or sorry, tourists, to just go back to their home countries no matter what.
	Just an air suck.
	I've heard this dumb take on bail before.
	Just a vacuum, this guy.
	When Byron and I were working on our documentary in Chicago, and we were talking to a girl who was really upset about the lack of bail that was on the ballot or something along those lines.
	She was concerned about no bond release, I think.
	And it sounds like that's what Steven's implying here.
	But those kind of things, they're just designed to keep the poor in jail.
	That's it.
	Of course.
	You know, and here's a little quick newsflash is that if the poor people are in jail, you're paying for them to be in jail.
	It's not free to jail people.
	We pay for it.
	Yeah, those cops that are beating kids up and breaking their fingers on UT, it's like, that's a paycheck for them later on.
	Yeah, we pay their salary and then we pay for the kids to be in jail.
	Jesus.
	And it's like, maybe don't encourage it for just the mere fact that you're fiscal conservatives as well, right?
	Fucking sucks to be you, dude.
	Why don't you go into jail?
	I'll feed you and give you health care in there.
	Fuck you.
	Speaking of sucking, they do admit that California's beautiful, but they say it has more crime than any other state.
	I don't know if that's true.
	I have no idea if that's true.
	I don't think that's true.
	It might be true on sheer number, but not on per capita, I'm sure.
	But of course there's so many people that live there.
	That's exactly right.
	Yeah, it's because they have the, what is it, third, fourth largest economy in the world would be the state of California?
	Something like that.
	It's substantial.
	It's a lot of people.
	It's a big place.
	You know, they keep talking.
	Fifth.
	I don't really... Fifth.
	I don't really care what they have to say.
	I don't.
	For as much as they don't like California, they sure spend a lot of time talking about it.
	Yeah.
	Fuck, how do I segue this?
	Is it music?
	We oftentimes open the show with a parody song.
	Oh, we have more?
	Oh, please give me more.
	Foreign guys in scheme mask steal your jewelry collection.
	I don't know.
	Bail bond rules that don't exist give liberals an erection.
	Is that what's happening?
	If you want these things to change, vote red in this election.
	Keep your Californication.
	with your panic room in the basement whoop, she had a thought, sorry
	keep your californication far from all the rest of the nation
	i don't know what app they're using but they're loving these new ai generated parody versions of
	Of course, yeah.
	I mean, I love my AI music too.
	But I'm really glad they cleared this up.
	I was getting really hard for no reason.
	You're under the table over there.
	And then I realized it was lack of bale in California that caught me so horny.
	Yeah, I was right there with you.
	What a realization to make at the end of the show.
	Great sweatpants on over here.
	Both of you guys... Rockin' it.
	Rockin' it.
	Yeah.
	We got one more clip, and it's really just a return to the tease for what we're looking forward to on Monday, and sorry folks at home.
	We're just chillin'.
	We're just having a good time.
	It's an easy vibe to be having fun with us this evening, afternoon, or morning.
	But Monday, the largest announcement in ladder with Crowder history.
	Monday night, 8 a.m.
	8 p.m.
	Eastern.
	We'll be streaming live.
	Some rules are going to be changing here.
	Because it's too important to continue doing what it is that, not only what we're doing, but what we see being done from those on our side.
	I am far more pissed off with what we are seeing from Republicans, when you just see this aid bill, I am far more pissed off with people who put on our team jersey and continually stab this movement in the back, or even through incompetence.
	There are some changes that we can make, that we want to make, that we want you to take part in making.
	It's going to become a more interactive experience where you, the question we most often get is what can you do you feel helpless?
	We can't solve all of it but we really have tried to troubleshoot this and Monday night we've got some ideas on how you can be enlisted to help and to ensure that we still have a country after November 2024.
	Is it an app?
	It sounds like he's gonna run for office.
	It's better to be pissed off than to be pissed on, boys.
	We're starting to sleep in the office coming Monday.
	I just, I don't know what's gonna happen.
	I know that it will financially benefit him, likely.
	What it sounds like to me is when you have that, that corporate boss who's like upset about something.
	Yeah.
	And so they give a weird like introduction to it and you don't know what it is and all the time you're like, Well, here's the deal boys when I said we're gonna be sleeping in the office one of you is going to get pissed on yeah You know sleep with one eye open because this thing's going full bore Monday night 8 p.m.
	That's when I need my warm milk Someone's got to tuck Steven in.
	Tuck him in, dude.
	He's lonely.
	On the weekends, he doesn't have his kids.
	You all have to sit by the bedside until he wakes up.
	I don't want to say that.
	That's mean.
	I don't want to make fun of him for that.
	His kids are innocent.
	I don't know what's gonna happen.
	Well, the employees are his kids now.
	I'm really looking forward to Monday at 8 p.m.
	I am too.
	Really hoping that Nick DiPaolo is in there.
	That guy really rubs me the wrong way.
	I can't believe he's gonna go against Monday Night Raw.
	What an idiot, dude.
	What a damn idiot.
	What did we learn?
	I don't think I learned anything.
	Not much, yeah.
	I think that I just have deepened my beliefs of Steven being a big dummy weird racist.
	Yeah, he kind of just ran through his list of current talking points, the whole pro-Hamas, Jewish equals Israel thing.
	He justifies every mistake a police officer makes.
	Yeah, you gotta justify it.
	I don't like the blue, but I do.
	Yeah, not all the time, but...
	Sometimes it's not worth it to spend your own money to trek across the state to go look at a student protest of which you have no business being at that campus yourself it seems.
	Probably like don't concern yourself with college affairs so much.
	What I learned is that sometimes it's not worth it to put that kind of effort in for somebody who is a fascist and a dork publicly all the time on the internet.
	You know, actually, something else I learned is that I already know how to use a camera, so I can become a professional instigator really quick.
	That's incredible.
	Just a little bit more schooling and I can be there.
	Start cashing that Soros check.
	Yeah, I need to get that Soros check.
	Did you guys just bounce?
	Mine bounced.
	We're gonna bounce.
	We are gonna bounce.
	That's about all we can handle for this week.
	If you disagree with us, feel free to convince us otherwise.
	Hot damn you freaks!
	You sweet freaks!
	You've given us the thumbs up and we're appreciating that so much.
	The nice reviews that came in.
	We got three nice ones this week.
	Do you want to hit them with that?
	Yeah!
	This is from Daddy Dunya.
	Says, Great show!
	Five stars!
	The guys have great chemistry together and they're very funny.
	Thank you.
	They do a great job of covering horrible right-wing nonsense and I appreciate them for keeping an eye on these lunatics and listening to their culture war garbage so the rest of us don't have to.
	You kind of have to listen to the clips though.
	You do, yeah.
	Sorry.
	It won't make sense if you don't.
	Thank you for your service.
	That's what they always say to Josh.
	That's fun.
	Please keep making more shows and exposing the appallingly dismal and lame Crowder Show.
	Yeah, we're gonna keep it going.
	This is from Click Crew.
	Five stars with one caveat.
	I'm just not gonna read it.
	Just kidding.
	There are not enough episodes for my binge craze to enjoy yet.
	Started this podcast last week and finished it up on a run yesterday.
	I love a good back catalog, so half of me wishes I found this show a year later from now.
	LOL.
	Similar structure to Knowledge Fight, but three co-hosts work really well for them.
	As someone who grew up a Christian and a Republican, I was told college would attack my beliefs.
	Actually, it's the police on college that attack your beliefs.
	Yeah, you gotta be careful.
	During that time, I teetered heavily into Crowder.
	Since then, I've separated my faith from my politics.
	Looking back, I can't help but still have hope for those entrenched in these beliefs.
	Whoa!
	Alright, that's about all of this review I can take.
	Oh, that's great.
	Did you say that or did they?
	That's what they said.
	Okay, I thought you were just sick of it.
	No, cheers and keep it up.
	And then one more from AlanSmithy99.
	Out there doing good work.
	Five stars.
	They listen to Steven Crowder, so I don't have to.
	These guys are great at dissecting and debunking conservative lies and propaganda.
	Thank you, Alan.
	Thank you.
	Thanks.
	Thanks to all of those people.
	Yeah, there's a handful of new listeners and we're really excited and grateful for this opportunity.
	I spent a lot of time podcasting You know, talking about things that I didn't necessarily think were as important as this.
	Sure.
	I feel really lucky to be able to do something like this that could potentially be helpful.
	I agree.
	Yeah, share our show with your friends if you think that it would be helpful to them.
	Send it to your grandparents and parents.
	Maybe they won't get it.
	It's my problem.
	What's a podcast?
	Here's what you need to do.
	You need to take all the episodes, download them, burn them onto a CD.
	I like it.
	I think it works for our numbers.
	And if you have a CD-R, you know, maybe hold on to that thing.
	That's a realizing this other week.
	I don't have anything like that anymore.
	It's kind of nice.
	I got one.
	I'll burn you guys a CD.
	If someone could burn me the Air Raid remix of Lit Biscuits' Rollin', that would be great.
	And until next time, for JonOtto, I'm Byron.
	I'm Jared.
	And I'm Dennis.
	You've been listening to an AudioWall original, produced by Byron McCoy.
