	This is an AudioWool original.
	No.
	I'm gonna set a really bad word there.
	Welcome to Louder Than Crowder, a podcast about the podcast.
	Louder with Crowder.
	My name's Byron.
	I'm joined tonight, bailed out of jail.
	I was drinking Mountain Dew Zero, and the cop recognized that was like so much better than the Pepsi that I was trying to offer him.
	Bashed my skull in.
	I assaulted you physically.
	Listen, boys, I got a good news.
	Brain damage.
	Funding for our show.
	Great.
	Dennis is here.
	Uh, that is quite the journey.
	Yeah.
	Yeah, I'm thankful that I have not had my head bashed in by police trying to stop protest violence with soda.
	Funny you mention that.
	We're gonna be talking about a little bit of anti-war pro-Palestinian protest that's happening on campus.
	Pro-Hamas, you mean?
	Hmm, yeah.
	Apologies.
	But before, remember that big Monday night mega stream the gang was talking about last?
	Yeah, I did.
	They cured cancer, right?
	Nope, that wasn't it.
	Sorry, they ended world hunger?
	It is the biggest announcement in Louder With Crowder history.
	It wasn't those things at all.
	No?
	We did check in on it, then checked out, but we'll talk about it.
	We'll also be going through the May 1st episode of Louder With Crowder.
	It was last Wednesday, again focusing on the pro-Hamas protests, it says.
	Pro-Hamas, yeah.
	On campus.
	Of course.
	You know, the boys are just praying for escalation and then also saying the protesters are weak, incompetent, and unpopular.
	Yeah, too dumb to do anything, too smart to stay out of trouble.
	I feel like this is well-tread territory for these guys at this point.
	Is it not or no?
	It is and it's kind of all we're talking about.
	Do you think that there's a Cards Against Humanity for Louder With Grouter where it's like you pick a topic and then pick why you're mad at it?
	Dumb cards for humanity?
	Yeah, make it like a GOP outrage bait game.
	The black card is transgender issues and then you play a white card that says like... We may want to cut this because...
	This could be good.
	You think we could sell it?
	I think we could.
	We could drop shit the shit out of this.
	Speaking of funding our show, interesting.
	We start the show with no parody, no commercials, but we do have a thank you?
	Hey, I just wanted to take a second to thank you.
	Thanks to the live MAGA stream yesterday, well, two days ago.
	Sorry, it's hard for me to keep track.
	We blew past the 4,700 new Mug Club members.
	We appreciate you guys so much.
	It allows us to Really fun and support the election stream, everything that we promised you.
	The election integrity map, boots on the ground, and we're going to be announcing new developments and everything else we'll be doing.
	So without your support, none of this happens.
	We appreciate it.
	And to show our appreciation, at the end of the show today, we'll be announcing four prize winners.
	We are going to be giving away $1,000 cash to a new Mug Club member and a longtime Mug Club member, as well as That's no Ford Raptor.
	It's very American though.
	a new Mug Club member as well as a long-standing Mug Club member. So that is four giveaways,
	thousand dollars cash times two, and two Watchtower AR-15s.
	We thank them for their support.
	That's no Ford Raptor.
	It's very American though.
	I could get an assault rifle and that's pretty cool.
	It might be the most American giveaway I've ever seen in my life.
	And it has Gerald's face etched into the barrel.
	Do you guys remember when there was a local satellite TV?
	Not even local.
	There was some satellite TV company with a sign up for TV, get a free gun.
	No, I don't.
	No?
	You don't remember that?
	No.
	Very American.
	So he kind of spoiled something there.
	Three hours, 51 minutes, two special guests, a handful of goals, all surrounding one huge announcement.
	We watched a bit of the stream on Monday, 8 p.m.
	Central.
	It's also one giant grift.
	Yes.
	Time, folks, to join the Mug Club Army.
	I forgot about Mug Club Army.
	They dropped the Mug Club price to $47 for the 47th President of the United States.
	This is it, guys.
	Huge announcement.
	The biggest news in Louder Crowder history.
	They are supporting Donald Trump.
	What?
	Yeah.
	Endorsed.
	Fully.
	Can we play that Celebrate Good Times from that one guy?
	You're talking about Just Adam.
	Yeah, let's get that on.
	Of course, I'll plug that in.
	So bring good times and your laughter too. We gonna celebrate this party with you. Come on now.
	Celebrate good times. Come on.
	You're talking about Just Adam.
	Yeah, let's get that on here.
	Of course, unplug that. And I love that guy.
	So Mug Club Army, huh?
	Yeah.
	What's the difference between that and regular army?
	Absolutely nothing, it's just cheaper.
	But they also shot through a bunch of subscriber goals.
	9-11, interesting goal.
	1492.
	1776, that's 1776 people signed up for Mug Club.
	At least.
	1492 1776 that's
	1776 people signed up for mug club at least well, they ended up over 4,000, but we laughed after 1776
	It was just too much And they were getting pretty drunk because they were doing a drinking game.
	Which, yeah, apparently you're supposed to drink when the following are mentioned because they were live watching CNN.
	This is something that they've started doing.
	Sure.
	Now they're a commentary channel.
	But it's a commentary on, like, the news cycle?
	Yeah, yeah.
	Like, there wasn't, like, an event happening?
	Well, it's an absurd leftist news network.
	Okay.
	Clinton News Network.
	That's right.
	I forgot what it stands for.
	It sucked.
	It was a terrible live stream.
	And the point of it?
	To raise money off the back of Donald Trump supporters.
	Yeah, and they were raising money to, like, fund some weird journalist electioneering scheme or something?
	Yeah, it's kind of interesting.
	We didn't mention the rules of the drinking game, though, really quick.
	Any time that CNN mentions Biden's health, the insurrection, the stolen election, Hunter or cocaine, the Clintons or Obamas, Trump indictments, and then if a Mug Club subscriber goal is hit, you have to finish your drink.
	Okay.
	So they finished at least six drinks.
	I think they drink a lot more.
	I'm sure.
	I think the biggest thing was to fund an election integrity map and website.
	Okay.
	Last election, full shenanigans.
	All the shenanigans.
	The election was stolen.
	They're stealing it!
	Exactly.
	See, this time we would see that they're stealing it guy in real time.
	In real time.
	He's one of the boots on the ground.
	BS, because as a Mug Club Army member, you can report for duty at election centers and report shenanigans.
	And in real time, they will check uploaded videos for validity.
	What?
	Meaning it's a real video, I guess?
	Yeah, they go, yeah, I saw it.
	Saw it?
	I saw the video.
	They didn't make it with AI.
	I guess?
	They want to look out for anomalies.
	But... How can you do that in real time?
	Wait a minute, that's the freaking Joker dancing through the crowd there!
	This is a fake video!
	I mean, if you look at, like, the Ruby Friedman video, it was like a USB thumb drive stealing votes or flipping votes.
	It was probably a stick of juicy fruit, dude.
	How are they going to be able to determine validity of videos in real time?
	Because Crowder's going to call.
	He's going to call that person right away.
	He's going to say, give me their number, I'll call them, and I'll be like, hey, did you steal the election?
	And they'll say, yeah, I don't know.
	It doesn't make any sense, and it's going to be an absolute full-blown nightmare.
	It is going to be a nightmare.
	It sounds just like electioneering.
	It's been fully funded.
	His plan has been.
	But I mean, how much money did he make?
	4,000 new subscribers, I guess at $47 each.
	$188,000 at least he got from Mug Club.
	dollars each.
	$188,000 at least he got from Mug Club.
	That he's going to use for GoDaddy hosting.
	Yeah, of course.
	So how many states are there?
	There's 50 states, right?
	$4,000 per state to fund this.
	Great.
	Originally doing certain states though, right?
	Key states.
	So he has enough money to fly some people to those places and then all the funding is gone.
	I have a feeling he's gonna be relying on citizen journalists, which he also I think has been doing
	With this whole eyes on campus protests, which we'll talk about later in the show as well. It's uh, it's gonna be bad
	He's also offering this service to other news networks if you would like to use his
	His database of at what cost? Yeah, uh the scale though again
	It's gonna be bad.
	It's gonna be when that chart made that straight line up.
	Everyone's gonna be blowing up his phone.
	Yeah, I bet it'll crash.
	That's kind of cool.
	It will crash, I guarantee.
	It'll get the hug of death, that he will give it its own hug of death.
	He'll give it the Christy Noem shot of death to his website.
	Well, when it happens, of course it's going to be the Deep State shutting down his website.
	Yeah, exactly.
	It's not his very poorly funded website.
	It's going to be fun.
	What do you mean my CDN can't handle all this viewership?
	I'm just sort of like thinking, uh, like who's going to be most affected by the, by the Crowder Watchers?
	The only people that I can like think of is like maybe like peoples with like disabilities, I guess.
	Sure.
	I don't know.
	Just like other like implications to use, like, like assist themselves or something.
	Yeah.
	Like somebody with like an assistive voting device.
	What are they, what are they looking for?
	That's, I mean, that's like my main thing here.
	It's like, Dude, it's everywhere, bro.
	My concern is, remember how people were covering up the windows because there was an aggressive amount of poll watchers intimidating everyone?
	Yeah.
	They're gonna be looking out for that.
	They're gonna be funded by Steven Crowder.
	And now those types of people are gonna show up and make people afraid to do their job.
	And afraid to vote.
	Yeah.
	Like poll watchers also can't be, like, using, like, laptops or, like, cameras and stuff like that, you know?
	Like, at least, like, in Texas, you know, there's, like, a lot of, like, laws against, like, what you can and can't do.
	Of course there is.
	So it's just, like, what, like, what are they supposed to going to get away with?
	That's what I'm, like, thinking is, like, who are they going to be harassing?
	It's, like, like, people that have, like, accessibility devices or something like that.
	That's, like, I just like don't understand like what they think they're gonna be able to do here because it's like the more the more it's been like scrutinized for like to pull the the bottle of water example again but like the more that that's something like that is getting like sanctioned I guess you know that you can't give people water that's are they in lines it's the same as like electioneering in line or something sure sure
	But that was a pelican case full of votes.
	It was, yeah.
	And we, you know, we actually watched that guy throw it into the ravine, so like... We cheered him on!
	We cheered him on!
	The water has rolled up ballots in it, and when they drink it, they...
	Oh, it's like a message in a bottle.
	Exactly.
	Except it's a ballad in a bottle.
	Very cool.
	Nice.
	Yeah, I mean, I will return to this for our live stream at some point because, of course, the charismatic Don Jr.
	We witnessed his interview.
	You know, red as hell, rad as hell.
	So here's my big issue with this whole thing.
	Sober, probably.
	Probably.
	Steven's gonna send these people out, they're gonna misbehave, legally misbehave, get arrested for it, and then they're gonna all claim that- That's martyr.
	Yeah, it's martyr, that's all it is, it's gonna be stupid.
	I wonder if he's gonna help bail people out.
	Of course he won't, he doesn't have money for that.
	He will as soon as Trump does.
	Apparently later in the stream Alex Jones came in, they all continued to get shit-faced, and apparently at some point Gerald took his shirt off, because he lost an arm wrestling match.
	Wow.
	Is this just like a shitty party?
	It's locker room energy.
	Okay.
	Okay, so yeah, he got wine drunk and then he got his belly slapped.
	They gave him an awful waffle.
	That's true.
	But in all seriousness... Steven blew a raspberry on him.
	In all seriousness guys, it's May 1st, which of course means...
	You know what May is, right?
	Yeah, dude.
	I know that all year long you are force-fed LGBTQS in a silent number five months, days, visibility weeks, and often we talk about how veterans really only get a couple of days out of the year, but you may not know this.
	May is actually supposed to be Military Appreciation Month.
	Supposed to be.
	And so we ask that you vote with your dollar this May.
	We are going to be giving back with Well, we'll be working with military charities, finding the best ones.
	You can comment below which ones you'd like us to work with.
	We'll be featuring military guests and also providing updates on your impact in your community, how you can help real American heroes and everything that they've done for this country.
	So I just think that it's a whole lot more than someone with a fake phallus protesting on Columbia campus.
	Thank you to our veterans.
	And let's make May count and let everybody know that these folks deserve an entire month.
	We got ourselves a military montage there, yeah.
	Lovely.
	He talks and kind of teases.
	We could be heroes!
	It wasn't quite that.
	And I have no problem with military appreciation month.
	Of course not.
	Nothing wrong with that.
	No.
	I do have a problem with Stephen saying vote with your dollar and that he's gonna donate to charities.
	10% too.
	Why wouldn't they just donate to those charities directly?
	Yeah, why are you giving 10% of your technically free service?
	Is military not labor?
	Interesting.
	Good point.
	It is.
	This has also been an official situation since May of 1999.
	Almost all states made proclamations about it, and the first ones being Arizona, Montana, North Carolina, Washington, and Michigan.
	Why May of 99?
	Did y'all wrap some string around a pole yesterday?
	Is that what I'm supposed to do?
	Is that what I'm supposed to do?
	Yeah, you're supposed to put a little string around the pole.
	Like the May Day pole.
	That the phallic looking thing that he was just talking about at the universities apparently.
	I'm not sure what this is that you're talking about.
	You didn't hear him talk about this?
	I heard him mention fake phalluses.
	He just was talking about it.
	Yeah, yeah.
	He's talking about the May Day Fool.
	I was unaware of the... Yeah, yeah.
	I thought he was just being homophobic.
	Yeah, I thought he was talking about like...
	Yeah, yeah, both, both things.
	He was talking, he was, it was double entendre.
	We had a lot of, we had a lot of entendres this week with the Kendrick Lamar beef, you know what I'm saying?
	So everyone's feeling their entendre bag right now.
	Team Drake over here.
	Oh, get it!
	Come on!
	Click.
	Columbia University, he brought them into a phallic looking pole.
	Yeah, you know, talking May Day.
	Is there a pole that doesn't look phallic?
	I don't know, is that a triple or double?
	It's a pole.
	And you're touching the pole, you know, running around it.
	This montage goes on and highlighted something that is a problem that I think is kind of interesting that he picks out.
	We wanted to raise awareness to a suicide epidemic that was plaguing our warrior class until we decided if we're really going to change these men and women's lives, we've got to get our hands on them and keep them on them.
	Suicide within the armed forces is a bit of an epidemic.
	Yeah, it's a huge deal.
	Huge problem.
	There's a 2016 study published in PubMed.
	It's called Risk Factors, Methods, and Timing of Suicide Attempts Among U.S.
	Army Soldiers.
	is a bit of an epidemic.
	Yeah, it's a huge deal.
	Huge problem.
	There's a 2016 study published in PubMed.
	It's called Risk Factors, Methods, and Timing of Suicide Attempts Among US Army Soldiers.
	It showed 6.29% have attempted suicide as members of.
	Fuck, that's a huge number.
	It is a huge number.
	And then there's this other study, this is interesting, from the Williams Institute of UCLA School of Law that found that 81% of transgender adults in the United States have thought about suicide and 42% have attempted.
	Yeah, but that's different man.
	They didn't I just I mean both of these are huge problems, but for him to make just embarrassing critique of Pride Month to go all-in on Military Appreciation Month not surprising but extra disgusting for him to bring up the suicide rates and fully ignore that there's a massive problem within the transgender community and Yeah, you can't be like, the fact that there's so much suicide in this group is so bad, but in that other group it's not bad at all.
	It's eight times worse somewhere else.
	Yeah, and it just doesn't matter to them.
	I actually appreciate that it's high in the other group.
	Yeah, I've been hoping that it is.
	Yeah.
	Disgusting.
	It is really gross.
	That being said, I do want to also say that the suicide rate amongst veterans is terrible.
	Huge problem.
	We know army veterans, and it's just, it's a constant, it's a struggle.
	It is.
	My papa, army vet.
	My good friend, an army vet, and he's lost some of his friends to suicide.
	It's awful, and it's a problem that needs to be addressed.
	Or it's a problem we can make fun of and then just support our people instead, right?
	Can't wait.
	Yeah, I can't wait.
	I'm gonna, I've got so much cool shit going on for that.
	Somebody opening a cage container?
	I opened up a cake container for that Grinch.
	Oh, he's getting weed out.
	You know what I mean?
	And then the show proper starts by watching another show.
	Great.
	That's what we do.
	Really quickly, bring up CNN, guys.
	Just bring this up right away.
	Bring up the sound, please.
	Police clear barricaded protesters from Columbia campus.
	Why is that even a thing?
	Battering ram, tear gas, beanbag bullets.
	Let the carts fall where they may.
	Weren't this where the police have to, oh, you've taken over a building, you've entirely, what is it in Portland, you've entirely vandalized, and you've committed arson, and you've beaten up Jews at UCLA, you've knocked women unconscious, oh, we want to give you space to, no, no, no, now this is happening.
	I know he mentioned beanbag bullets, but the sniper rifle sound effect makes me believe that he actually is.
	I think it's supposed to be rubber bullets.
	Is that what he's doing?
	Yeah, like because they have more of like a poof noise to come out of them.
	Yeah, you know, he's doing a really good job with his foley work there.
	I'm really excited to, you know, get this taken care of with more violence because we know that that's gonna work, right?
	I hate that he's such a free-speed absolutist, but then he says that these people protest and deserve this kind of thing.
	Yeah, of course them breaking into a building like that is obviously a very big deal.
	But he describes it as violence, like a little baby ass, and says that it's, uh, well, these windows, why would they break the windows?
	It's violence.
	It's really nice glass.
	Yeah, it's probably been there for at least like six or eight years.
	These are the pathetic San Francisco retreads.
	Oh no, we have to, no, look, you want to sit down?
	You want to protest?
	First off, I recommend you do it in January or February.
	They never will.
	I don't know if you noticed this conflict was going on for a long time.
	and they just decided to go out and they disrupt everybody's lives.
	Just treat them like you would any other unlawful citizen, any other rioter.
	Oh, police, a breakthrough, a barricade.
	How effective can their barricade be?
	It's a college library, for God's sakes.
	All right.
	I mean, obviously pretty significant.
	He shows them bringing in a bunch of like steel barricades, like the police fencing, basically.
	And then they also showed those large trucks that I mean why else would they require hundreds of police officers to get this under control?
	And like the big ladder truck?
	Are the police weak?
	Is that what he's saying?
	I don't know what he's trying to get at.
	Honestly, it's very confusing.
	He's trying to play both sides of this saying that they are strong and many but also they're weak and pathetic and he wants police to just rush through the barricade I guess?
	Throw themselves through it.
	He's just annoyed, and we're going to get into it very deeply later in the show.
	But, you know, back to this Military Appreciation Month.
	Hey, it's one thing to bitch about all the LGBTQ AIP, and sure, you can, it's funny, but there is a month for our military.
	No one talks about it.
	It's not trending.
	At least it wasn't when I got up this morning.
	I didn't even know it was a thing, honestly.
	Let's call it Marine Visibility Day, or whatever it is.
	This should be one of those things that everybody knows about.
	Everybody should know that May is this, and everybody should participate in some very big ways, and corporations around the world should change their logos to make sure that they show military appreciation, meaning our U.S.
	companies that operate overseas that change for the LGBTQ stuff.
	Right.
	They need to change their stuff as well.
	Like, if you're gonna give it to gay people who just want to walk in the streets with a penis hanging out of their pants, I almost said a really bad word there.
	I got really close.
	Really?
	Yeah.
	Okay, we'll get back to the word in a minute.
	I bet it was cock.
	I bet it was.
	Camo Chick-fil-A, Avatar, what else we got?
	We gotta reach out to these companies.
	We definitely do.
	We need the Bass Pro Shop, of course, Cabela's, who else?
	Crumble Cookie, maybe?
	No, not quite Crumble.
	Okay, shoot.
	Again, I have no problem with this.
	I think what's really funny is they're like, we didn't even know about this.
	They didn't talk about this last year.
	Yeah, why didn't you know about it?
	When did Steven Crowder talk about this?
	It's been around since 1999.
	You're telling on yourself that you don't know about it.
	Yeah.
	Whoopsies.
	Pride Month, it's a focus on a marginalized community that's under attack.
	I don't know a single person who says... I mean, there's plenty of people who think that soldiers are fighting for bad reasons, but I don't know a single person who, when someone's like, I went and fought, you know, I'm an army vet.
	Fuck you.
	Yeah, fuck you, dude.
	Fuck your feelings.
	Like, no one says that.
	They're like, yeah, of course not.
	I think we generally universally agree that, especially now, the fact that there's no draft, that people who are going to serve are doing it because they're brave and strong and... Poor.
	Unfortunately, yeah, sometimes.
	No one's shitting on them.
	I don't think so.
	No, and also, like, it's pretty funny that they don't know that that's what that month is.
	They had, like, Google what other months it was and they were like, oh shit.
	We have a whole month of cold opens to this show now.
	Yeah, let's lean in, guys, lean in.
	Yeah, you're right like I don't think that there is any like personal attacks on soldiers the idea that you're gonna go attack somebody because they decided to go into the military is like that's not really what's going on, but like the predatory military inside high schools taking like on underage kid, you know, like the kids who don't know what the fuck they're doing basically and I That's just to say that that's the commentary.
	Well, it's as Petey says that you can support the individual without supporting the whole complex.
	Hell yeah.
	Right.
	Exactly.
	And it's like that's what it is.
	Military is labor.
	This is all labor.
	It's like the more that we recognize that.
	We're all laborers right like that's like a that's it that's that's the uniting factor of all this and I think that that's kind of like for Stephen to ignore that on May Day.
	Well you know I actually I I really want to support our troops more that's why I joined Monk Club because I wanted him to donate four dollars and seventy cents on my behalf.
	Welcome to the army.
	Instead of me just donating $47.
	The Mug Club, Armie.
	It's not disrespectful to call yourself.
	Yeah, it's fine.
	It's totally fine.
	Yeah, wear a mug club instead of the 50 stars.
	He didn't even go with the Mug Club Marines.
	Come on.
	Speaking of respect though, remember how Gerald caught himself?
	Oh yeah, he almost swore.
	He almost said a bad word.
	Yeah, yeah, yeah.
	Let's get back to this.
	What's the word?
	You could almost say that he censored himself.
	It's a live show.
	We do this without a net.
	So if you're watching on YouTube, at some point today you'll probably see this.
	That means head on over to Rumble, we don't self-censor, we just try and not be banned from YouTube, but you watch on Rumble, there's never a dump on it, it's a live show.
	We don't self-censor, we just did.
	I think you literally just did 10 seconds prior.
	No, it's fine.
	Cool.
	I mean, it's really inappropriate.
	There's inappropriate, and then there's very inappropriate.
	And yeah, using a slang term for penis is extra inappropriate.
	It's bad.
	I'd wait for that to happen.
	Yeah, me too.
	Which one did he use?
	Do we know?
	We didn't know.
	He never revealed that.
	Dangle.
	Dangle?
	Alright, boys.
	Of course, Josh.
	I think he's it, right?
	He's our third chair.
	I haven't noticed any other guests.
	I watched his special again.
	I actually watched it.
	Sure, how was it?
	Review?
	It's terrible.
	It is the worst.
	That's your quote.
	We'll send that to Variety.
	I fell asleep 20 minutes in.
	I couldn't make it.
	Great.
	Josh is here.
	You know him.
	You love him.
	And it's Military Appreciation Month, so we appreciate him extra.
	We thank him for his service.
	Mr. Josh Feierstein.
	How are you, sir?
	I'm alright.
	I'm good.
	Are those lemons on your shirt?
	Yeah, dude.
	You like this shirt?
	Yeah!
	Cool shirt, Josh.
	Is it the Lemon Party shirt?
	He wears it all the time.
	I wish it was the Lemon Party shirt.
	You guys are all goofy tonight!
	It is a Lemon Party shirt.
	Let's be clear, Dennis is right.
	It is a Lemon Party shirt.
	I'm not gonna send people to that website.
	We can't tell.
	If you don't know, don't find out, but like it is a Lemon Party t-shirt.
	You should also tell people that that's what he is wearing in the future so it gets around, you know?
	That's true.
	That's a good point.
	Thanks Jared for saving that.
	But everyone, especially commenters who are watching this live, did notice that Josh is growing his facial hair back.
	Yeah, of course.
	Because he only removed it because Steven demanded it for one skit.
	Yeah, that was my thoughts here, and they kind of reveal what exactly happened.
	I like that the beard's coming back.
	Yeah, it's coming back.
	I know everybody was, some people were really upset that I shaved my head.
	They're like, God, I don't want to look at it!
	Oh, wait till they see what we did with your shaved beard.
	Oh, they'll love it.
	Yeah, they'll love it.
	They'll love it.
	It was for good cause.
	We shaved everything.
	You shaved everything except for, except for here, here, except for just in here, and here.
	Oh no.
	That's the one part that wasn't shaved for some, take a guess if you can see what's coming down the pike.
	Charlie Chaplin?
	Yeah!
	Yeah, there we go.
	Masks just fell off.
	Their audience loves Hitler.
	They're huge fans of the Hitler mustache.
	Hitler bad, wah, wah, wah.
	But when Josh is Hitler, they look pretty good.
	Wink, wink, wink, wink, wink.
	The big butt.
	We've seen the slip of Josh Fierstein.
	Josh Fierstein.
	Fierstein.
	Yep.
	I mean, he's all in at this point.
	Steven convinced him to do a skit with a Hitler mustache, so it's hard to come back from that one.
	Is that yet to be revealed?
	It has not been revealed, but I will keep everyone- Oh no, it's gonna be terrible.
	Skull and bones, dude.
	Skull and bones.
	So for the month of May, Louder With Crowder is giving 10% to military causes.
	Of what?
	Of Mug Club memberships.
	Okay, like of the existing ones or just the new ones?
	New ones.
	Okay.
	Because they want more members.
	Yeah.
	But, and this is a critique of our show that I hear.
	It is tough to listen to Steven sometimes.
	And they say some really heinous stuff.
	It turned off a handful of people.
	They just don't like hearing him be so vile.
	So I feel like I need to give larger warnings before we play clips like this.
	Oh boy.
	Don't know if I commented on the show, but I definitely commented to you and Jared that in the Rumble streams, and especially on the 4-hour Monday stream, as they got more drunk they were more willing to bring back the F-slur.
	Perfect.
	They were heavy-handed, yeah.
	This is kind of a confirmation that they have no problem doing that.
	Okay.
	This month we're using promo code military.
	Everybody can use it.
	Click the link in the description as well to autofill.
	We just make your life easier.
	Yes.
	Do it.
	I would say you're gay, but I don't want to.
	Don't do that.
	Don't do that.
	I don't want to.
	Don't do that.
	So he usually says, sign up for Mug Club or you're gay.
	What?
	That's like what a 6th grader in 98 would say.
	Yep, that's where they stopped.
	Great.
	Don't do that, don't do that.
	I don't want to.
	Don't do that.
	We don't want to sell you this.
	Can I say the other word?
	The F word's coming back, right?
	But the other F word, the three letter F word?
	You know, like for a...
	Oh, f***ed?
	Well, no, I was going with the abbreviated f***ed version.
	Yeah, I prefer f***.
	So!
	That's just documentation of this is, I guess, May 1st was the moment that they thought that this is fully appropriate.
	Yeah, in this clip they spent more time dedicated to reinvigorating that slur.
	Yeah.
	Rather than appreciating the military that they're so... Giving that 10% discount.
	We should maybe follow up with them.
	Do you think that they're gonna publish their financials about that discount?
	They did say that they're going to be highlighting where they're spending their money, but who knows?
	I'll keep an eye on it.
	They're gonna spend it on themselves and claim that because they support the military so much, that's why it's allowable.
	Yeah, you can only pick up the check if you have a hand your forehead.
	Face and a flag, yeah.
	So it's time.
	This is gonna take up most of the show.
	We return to their thoughts and some coverage of the pro-Palestinian protests that are going on in college campuses.
	This is all predicated on a lie, right?
	It's predicated on a lie as an excuse to commit violence.
	We saw this with the occupiers.
	We saw this with Black Lives Matter.
	You can go back to Mike Brown.
	Hands up, don't shoot!
	That was a lie.
	And then people were being beaten up and killed in the streets, and literally killed in the streets.
	You can see David Dorn, what happened there.
	Then, of course, you had the Summer of Love.
	This is what happened after Black Lives Matter.
	And most of the time, you find out that these stories are not what you were force-fed in the beginning.
	And right here, the lie is that this is organic.
	It's not.
	So he's saying that students do not naturally feel bad for the civilians of Palestine.
	At all.
	Is that what he's saying?
	I don't know anyone that is, is probably how he feels about it.
	Yeah, because he doesn't know anyone who gives a shit about anybody else.
	Exactly.
	I mean, that's his theory.
	We're going to dive pretty deep into it.
	Yeah, and here's the thing with all those other things.
	Obviously, people react to the initial reports.
	Of course.
	Right?
	So for one, Stephen, be more responsible with your journalism.
	And everyone be responsible with your journalism.
	Everybody, yes.
	Even then.
	Let's look at George Floyd, for example, right?
	The big thing was, I can't breathe, I can't breathe, right?
	And then, you know, the toxicity reports came out and found out that he was on drugs or whatever.
	The thing is that a lot of those things don't matter to the general idea of the movement, and the general idea of the movement is that police shouldn't treat black people differently than they treat white people.
	Over-policing.
	brutal interests.
	Yes, of course.
	Yeah.
	And so if, let's say, here's a great example.
	Let's say you found out a young kid in your neighborhood said, hey, my dad touched me
	inappropriately.
	So you started fighting to stop pedophilia.
	Okay.
	Then you find out that that kid wasn't being honest.
	Do you need to stop the fight against pedophilia?
	Whoa, whoa, whoa.
	Little Ricky.
	What the fuck is the problem here?
	Sorry, I'm upset.
	You can be upset.
	It's upsetting.
	You know, the thing is that if the entire reason, the spark that lit the fire, if that has now changed and whatever, that doesn't delegitimize the fire.
	No, being on drugs doesn't Yeah, he got convicted of that.
	But this whole thing, it's just astroturfed.
	It's fake.
	It's artificial.
	Remember when Nancy Pelosi accused the Tea Party of being astroturf?
	This is absolutely funded from the top down.
	We've covered that.
	You can check the link in the description for the references.
	It's largely funded by Students for Justice for Palestine, right?
	Qatar is the single biggest contributor to higher education here in the United States.
	You follow the money trail, you see what is happening.
	This is not just a bunch of students who are kind of inspired.
	There's a reason they're doing it now, there's a reason that they are being violent, and there's a reason that they're being given quarter from Depending on the municipality, state government, city governments, and not enough is being done about it.
	Okay?
	So this is the second time he's brought up this link to his report on how Qatar is funding these groups, and it's also funding Hamas, therefore they are Hamas.
	I couldn't find the link, first of all.
	Not in the source.
	Did you look in the show notes?
	I did look in the show notes!
	Okay.
	But also, there's no evidence to suggest that Students for Justice in Palestine is directly funded by Qatar.
	I mean, they may receive some money, but it's a grassroots organization that's primarily run by students.
	Are the students getting rich from this?
	No.
	He's just saying that they're not having to, like, come out of pocket for it.
	They're $30 pop-up tents.
	Yeah, they're all the same, George.
	Did you guys know that Hamas is funding the pizza party at Columbia?
	Oh my god, I'd love to go.
	You can't even tell me that, like, these kids at UT didn't know just, like, the person across the street that does all, like, the late-night printing and stuff.
	Of course.
	Like, hey, can we just get, like, a banner made from you and, you know, free Palestine on it?
	And then they're just like, sure.
	Will you pay cost for it?
	And it's, like, 50 bucks.
	How are they paying for this?
	Who is funding?
	This is an outrage!
	Well, it seems like it's a lot of different donations.
	It could be funded by some folks in Qatar, but honestly, and I have to admit, I'm pretty... How?
	I don't know that like a lot of these places can't use like PayPal or anything like that.
	Sure.
	I just want to say I'm kind of ignorant on this.
	I don't know the details of this and I have seen reports from Israeli sources talking about this connection as well and I will learn more about it.
	I promise.
	Yeah, and we just we don't know but here's the thing that I when I don't know I try and fall back to if I was just a student looking at this from the outside how I would feel about it and I am very much anti-bombing hospitals to try and snuff out a terrorist.
	Sure.
	They have screenshots, dude, and it's it's Qatar Venmo-ing, you know?
	And they're putting a little, they're putting a little firecracker and a tent emoji.
	It's like, yeah, the student union stuff, but like, Come on.
	Yeah.
	Come on.
	And just put the right link in there so I can learn more about your perspective, Steve.
	Like, I've read some stuff.
	I haven't seen anything that is more or less convincing, if I'm being honest.
	Sure.
	And it sounds like Steven wants money to be a little bit more siloed and maybe not be money going between universities in one place and countries of another.
	You know what it doesn't cost money to do is like a stand in the middle of the university.
	I think you're pointing towards maybe the branches of universities in Israel.
	Yeah, maybe you shouldn't have your hands meddling.
	You shouldn't be meddling with your money.
	Interesting.
	Very.
	Stephen jumps to New York City to the protests at Columbia University.
	The NYPD, they finally arrested a few people, I think dozens, on Columbia campus after student protesters that they actually seized.
	And I hate even saying this, how can student protesters seize anything?
	They only get to seize what you allow them to seize.
	They don't have any money, and they don't move quickly enough.
	It's not the football team.
	They seized and occupied Hamilton Hall, and then of course they ended up being arrested.
	Good, but this is too late.
	What is that?
	It's the ladder truck.
	I think it's pretty serious for just a bunch of no money, not football players.
	Yeah, right?
	These aren't even linebackers that are breaking down these doors.
	Cool.
	It's just a lot of very serious protesters who are also, you know, weak and not important.
	Too strong and too weak at the same time.
	Ladder truck was kind of intimidating, huh?
	Yeah, it's a wild way to go about it.
	But here's the thing is that with this particular protest, the protest has to kind of fill in places, right?
	It has to go where the water will flow and then you can clean it up kind of a thing.
	And even then, you can't just... There's a lot of protesters pushing on a building.
	You can't just kill them, Steven.
	What do you want them to do?
	Well, you can shoot them with rubber bullets.
	Yeah, like, I don't... You can maim them, right?
	I've seen some really awful pictures of people who have been hit in the... Yeah, but they're not real bullets, so it's fine.
	No, it's pretty harmful.
	Get hit in the jaw, and then you all of a sudden have like Rocky Dennis face.
	I've seen staples and stitches in heads, even though you're supposed to be shooting them at the legs.
	And actually, they say that you're supposed to be bouncing them off the ground.
	Yeah, it turns out people don't do that with rubber bullets.
	But I think also, bouncing them off the ground gives them some sort of velocity, even.
	Even worse?
	Goddammit, just don't shoot kids!
	Because I think it lets them go further than they would otherwise or something.
	I don't know, that's probably bullshit.
	There was another school that the president, I don't remember which one it was, announced that they're divesting out of Israel.
	If you listen to what these folks have to say, you know, try and find common ground.
	Good things can come of it, but, and even if you disagree, have some common discourse.
	Have some conversations around it.
	Agree to negotiate these things.
	These people are paying money to go to these schools.
	They're not just like, I mean, there probably are some non-students, of course, protesting.
	Oh, of course.
	And it's certainly a majority of them.
	Oh, let's see what they say in Columbia.
	What do we got here?
	I think, so I just have a hard time with a lot of this stuff because for one, I don't know a lot about what's going on in regards to each of these individual schools.
	I just look at it from, you know, is it reasonable to protest the genocide?
	And yeah, it is.
	Totally reasonable.
	It's totally reasonable.
	100%.
	So it looks like Brown University was the school that agreed to divest.
	Okay.
	Oh, wow.
	That's pretty good.
	Got one.
	At the Columbia.
	See, this was like 23 hours ago.
	282 individuals arrested.
	134 had no affiliation with either Columbia or the City College of New York.
	Hmm.
	Wow.
	Substantial.
	Yeah.
	Pretty substantial.
	That doesn't surprise me though.
	I mean.
	It seems as though only 46 of those people actually got, uh, trespassed.
	It's like any kind of citation.
	So, like, they're just getting let go.
	You know, like, Steven's making a big to-do about this, but not really anything is happening.
	We also know that they're, uh, largely peaceful, right?
	Like, it's been, like, over, like, 99% peaceful.
	It is mostly outside agitators that are causing the problems and it's uh... It's not uncommon.
	That happens in every protest.
	Yeah, this happens all the time.
	It's, you know, it's like people get wound up because it's very sensitive to a lot of people.
	It's very near and dear to a lot of people and more so, I think, sometimes in these instances are not near to them.
	We see people doing something and we don't want them to be doing this, you know, and it's typically You know, more conservative folks that are wanting to tell you to stop protesting.
	Don't do this.
	You know, go home.
	You're not going to change anything.
	Sure.
	Well, and, and like, also when you look at places like Columbia, one of the things that's happening is that a lot of these schools are giving like curfews, like you have to stop protesting.
	Your kit and camera has to be shut down by so-and-so time.
	And those are efforts to stifle free speech, you know?
	So of course we're going to fight against that.
	Yeah, but are you being honest, Dennis?
	I don't know.
	I'm kind of dumb.
	Let's go through some of the claims and the truths here.
	Thank you.
	I just can't.
	Just remember, this has always been the case, guys.
	Okay.
	What I want you to do is reset your brain and not go, well, I guess now they've gone too far.
	Clean slate your brain.
	That's what happened back in the 60s and 70s when people say, we were getting something done.
	Oh, yeah, I spit on a vet who came home and had no choice.
	Yeah, it was drafted.
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Mostly those guys in the wheelchair really hated them.
	Yeah, yeah, I'm sure JFK and Nixon finally heard you.
	What's the truth and facts thing?
	Well, we'll get into it.
	He is implying that the protesters did nothing to bring the end of the Vietnam War.
	Or change the public opinion of it, but we'll get into it.
	Here's a claim.
	That the mayor and the university escalated this whole thing.
	This is from AOC, her Twitter.
	She said, If any kid is hurt tonight, responsibility will fall on the mayor and university presidents.
	Other leaders and schools have found a safe, de-escalatory path.
	Hold on, pause.
	What you mean is the schools who have allowed you to behave as criminals?
	Because I remember everyone was furious when at UT they actually had authorities come in and say, no, you can't do this, and moved them out of the walking paths where students could get to their actual classes.
	What they mean, de-escalatories, let us do what we want.
	Remember Maxine Waters?
	Give them space to destroy.
	Remember Kamala Harris saying they won't stop, nor should they stop.
	De-escalatory path for AOC means you do nothing, lay down and take it.
	This is the opposite of leadership and endangers public safety.
	I would argue the people actually endangering public safety are responsible for endangering public safety.
	She said it's a nightmare in the making.
	No, that's people in your district.
	She even went as far as suggesting that the NYPD use their newest special ops unit to de-escalate the situation.
	All right, and then they play a clip of the New York police dance video.
	Remember that?
	Do you remember COVID?
	No, I think it was a Good Morning America segment.
	No.
	It was fine.
	Their team building exercise.
	Can I say that his impression of AOC is fucking garbage?
	Spot on?
	Wait, what?
	I was gonna say spot on.
	It's trash.
	Yeah, it's bad.
	It's lazy.
	I think he used to have a better one.
	He acts like every protester is a criminal.
	Well, I mean, that's the point.
	Yeah, but it's not the truth.
	I mean, civil disobedience, again, is a crime, but that's the point.
	And he'll get into this at the end.
	The point is that you're doing something that has repercussions because it's important.
	Yes.
	It'd be like if he shit on the Founding Fathers because they fought in the Revolutionary War.
	Well, they were criminals.
	Yeah.
	They shouldn't shit on that.
	It's one of these, like, rare opportunities as well that, like, he has this, like, reach-across-the-aisle thing.
	He could be, like, kissing Joe Biden on the lips on this one.
	They feel the same way, you know?
	Yeah, Joe came out and did a public statement, which, I mean, I listened to Ben Shapiro talk about it this morning with his episode about how Joe Biden needs to take a side.
	Yeah, I think that he has, and he's taken the side of the police.
	I mean, like, he's calling for, like, you know, more police to get sent out, you know?
	But he, in that, hasn't taken a fully pro-Israel stance either, which, I mean, he kind of has.
	Well, but I mean, he's sending billions of our dollars there.
	Yeah, it's pretty fair to say.
	I think that's a pretty clear path to what's being supported here.
	But not enough for Ben Shapiro.
	I suppose not, but it's just, I don't know, it's just funny.
	All of the times that he could be, you know.
	One of the things that stands out to me about this, when you mention that civil disobedience is a crime and people commit the crimes because it's important to them.
	I think for all of this, I've noticed this a lot with any of my friends on the right, is that they discuss the legality of things as if that is the morality of things.
	And it's not always like that.
	Like, obviously in a perfect world, those things would be perfectly fine.
	I had a conversation with my therapist once, and he asked me this question because I have a problem with rules.
	I follow rules regardless.
	There's something I need to figure out.
	Sure.
	But he's like, it's 2 in the morning, you're at a stoplight, the light's red, and it hasn't changed for 10 minutes.
	What do you do?
	And I was like, I'd probably wait five more minutes.
	Well, that's what these things is like.
	Sure, disobedience is a crime, but at the end of the day, what is it fighting for, right?
	Far more important.
	And the same reason that self-defense is just a crime committed with reason.
	Yeah.
	The reason matters here, and I'm not saying that we can just give this blanket, like if you think you're fighting for the right thing, that's a good thing.
	I'm thinking more about the reason in this case.
	Sure.
	If somebody ran out into the road and said, help me, help me, my son is being attacked, I wouldn't be like, Stop being a criminal, get out of the fucking road and then maybe I'll help you.
	Or if someone's choking and they're racing to the hospital in a car.
	Slow down.
	Officer's like, it'll be a lot easier for me to write you a ticket if you calm down.
	Pull them out of the car.
	Sure.
	Find the marijuana.
	And then we jump to more clips of protests.
	Josh is fired up.
	I bet.
	Gotta have a drum circle.
	I thought it wasn't 1995, but it is.
	It's always 95.
	Ah yes, the infamous Hamas drum circle.
	That's how they solved their problems.
	The drums of war!
	Yes!
	Yeah, and I think it's a smart strategy.
	In fact, while we're on the subject, I just wanted to say that I'm currently demanding that you guys stop thanking me for my service.
	And until you stop, I will continue to hold this man hostage.
	What?
	No, absolutely not.
	Thank you for your service.
	Thank you for service.
	All right, well, can you get back in my trunk then?
	Yeah, just get out of here.
	Yeah.
	Thank you.
	No, bye.
	Well, I tried.
	Thank you for your service.
	Thank you for service.
	I'll explain this bit a little bit, and I'm only leaving this in because I've been wondering where Papa Crowder has been.
	Okay.
	He is apparently tied up with duct tape for this odd bit.
	This one bit.
	Yeah, he's there.
	He's on screen and he goes... They show him get up and then walk away also.
	Yeah.
	So...
	Just wanted to just want to say that Stephen's dad is still there.
	They flubbed and they flubbed and they flubbed on this episode.
	I don't want to give them any credit.
	I'm gonna drag them.
	They were flubbing wild on this episode.
	Absolutely.
	It's so dumb to me on this that Stephen is gonna like shit on them for doing true peaceful protesting.
	Oh yeah, he's not done.
	Drums will never change anything, either did your shitty parody, Steven.
	You know, like, what are you, what are you, Jerry Garcia?
	What are you, what are you, Fish?
	Trey, Trey Anastasio.
	They're even hosting, just to be clear on this campus, not just students, they're hosting, I know what you're going to say, hyperbole.
	No, no, actual terrorists.
	So, uh, Bring a collage, there are three.
	This is, you have there, I believe that's the wife of Sami Al-Arian, and that also, that person, Al-Arian, tweeted this photo out there.
	And in 2006, Sami, good old Sami, pled guilty to conspiracy to provide services to Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
	Yeah.
	2006, pled guilty.
	Conspiracy to provide services to Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
	That's the wife.
	It just tweets that out.
	This is kind of a weird stretch too.
	I don't know anything about it.
	I'll explain.
	2003, Sami al-Aryan was arrested by federal authorities and indicted on charges related to alleged connections to Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
	He was accused of using an academic think tank at USF as a front for fundraising and providing support to Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
	When the trial started, obviously hot, controversial, a lot of support.
	Especially in 03.
	Sure.
	Some supporters viewing him as a victim of political persecution, others labeling him a terrorist sympathizer.
	Extremists like Steven, of course, are going to call him a straight up Terrorist.
	In 2005, though, after a lengthy trial, Sami was acquitted on some charges and the jury was deadlocked on others.
	And then the next year, 2006, rather than facing a retrial on the remaining charges, he entered a plea agreement, which he pled guilty to one count of conspiracy to provide services to the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
	He was sentenced to time served and agreed to be deported from the United States.
	And in 2008, he was deported to Turkey and subsequently relocated to Qatar, where he continues to fight for Palestinian rights.
	I don't know the full details of this case.
	Sure.
	But... Steven does.
	I don't think he knows shit.
	The way that he frames this as a, you know, convicted terrorist, it's a little bit different than the truth.
	Who is the person?
	It was his wife.
	His wife.
	Yeah.
	Okay.
	The guy's wife was sitting on a picnic blanket outside of a tent supporting Palestine.
	Okay.
	Sounds like terrorists.
	Terrorists on campus.
	Yeah.
	Great.
	Sounds like 9-12.
	Watch out, folks.
	Meanwhile, at UCLA, there were no cops.
	Let's see how that goes.
	That's a firework!
	It's just Katy Perry.
	She's doing a concert.
	I bet he rocked that show.
	You bet he did.
	I got a splitter!
	Fucking loser.
	Well, hold on.
	Just a nitpick, they do beep the curses in the clips that they play, but then let's,
	uh...
	Oliver!
	Can't do that.
	Come lay down.
	He's whipping a toy around, little Oliver, who at 200 followers on X, we're going to do the Oliver reveal.
	Josh feels free to call them fucking losers on this, you know, PG-13 program that they have.
	Yeah.
	What were those clips exactly?
	Oh, just violence during the UCLA protests.
	Okay.
	And I'm assuming it was the peaceful protesters fighting themselves.
	No.
	How interesting.
	It seems like it was most of the counter-protesters egging people on and then physically attacking them.
	Oh, okay.
	Cool, cool, cool, cool, cool.
	I don't support violence at all.
	I don't think that that's good.
	I saw counter-protesters starting these attacks in these cliffs that they aired, and I don't quite understand why they did that.
	Why Steven aired them.
	So there's the protesters and there's the patriots.
	Okay.
	Not counter protesters.
	They're patriots.
	Great.
	Solved.
	Next clip.
	What they do is accuse you of doing exactly what it is that they are doing.
	When they say you are AstroTurf, guess what?
	They are AstroTurf.
	We have Mud Club Undercover, exclusive, by the way, in Texas, where we will be following some stories here that kind of shocked us.
	We fell ass backwards into it.
	Absolutely AstroTurf, notwithstanding the terrorism funding that you know about already that we've covered.
	Covered?
	Haven't shown me where that is though.
	Sorry, Steven.
	It's in the notes.
	But we will be keeping our eye on this ass-backwards Mug Club undercover investigation that they've stumbled into.
	Should be interesting.
	But, of course, Gerald is going to jump in real quick to justify the violence that the counter-protesters, sorry, patriots, showed the protesters.
	Jewish protesters basically showed up because of that, not just, not just, you know, the people that were there before.
	There were definitely counter protesters before, but a massive amount of people started showing up because it's like, Hey, if you're going to start physically being violent, we're going to make sure we have enough people there.
	And then you saw the barrier, like it became two factions essentially warring on campus with police just off frame.
	Yeah.
	Most people don't know that.
	There were tons of police officers just off-frame saying, hey, we can't do anything until we're asked to do it yet on the university campus here.
	Well, I will say this.
	I don't see a lot of the counter-protesters warring with police.
	I don't see a lot of Israeli flags and American flags warring with police.
	As a matter of fact, almost to the decimal.
	And why would that be?
	That's a great question, Steve.
	You never see Batman and Bruce Wayne in the same room.
	What a good question.
	What a dang good question.
	Guy's so stupid, it's funny.
	Not funny, though.
	That attack on that young Jewish woman, it wasn't great.
	I did read that she was pushed and fell back and hit her head.
	I don't like any of it.
	I don't like it.
	But there's a big difference between that and a brutal beating.
	I agree with that.
	I don't know the beating.
	I don't know the story.
	I don't like it.
	It's awful.
	Of course, yeah, violence towards anyone sucks.
	So here's what someone said to me about that.
	He said that if there's counter protesters and there's worry that things might get violent, that they need more counter protesters in case it gets violent.
	Or you could just leave and let the protesters share their message.
	Yeah.
	If you disagree with it, okay.
	But if you know that your presence there will increase the odds of violence.
	Probably don't be there.
	Yeah, yeah.
	What's the purpose of a counter-protest in this situation?
	I don't understand the purpose of it.
	Yeah, like you want to go glass this group of people?
	Put them out of existence, I guess?
	What is the alternative?
	Leave Israel alone to do war crimes!
	I love war crimes, and I love class, honestly.
	War crimes!
	Study in!
	War crimes!
	Study in!
	I'm trying to graduate so that I can go do war crimes!
	Cool.
	Let's go through another claim here, and this is what they'll constantly be trying to... None of it's true.
	They'll try and tell you that history is going to look fondly upon these protesters as we do upon the protesters of the Vietnam era, which is also untrue.
	None of it is true, just like the idea of the golden age of objective journalism.
	It's never existed.
	How the fuck do you know, Steven?
	With a brain that lives in 1998, it is hard to look into the past.
	Yeah, I can't imagine you can look into the future.
	You can't even look into the present.
	We'll talk a little bit more about the public support of wars like the Vietnam War.
	We're going to skip over Iraq for some reason.
	It's kind of interesting that he doesn't focus much on that.
	I would like to take a second, now that we are witnessing a podcast that is endorsing Donald Trump, Yeah, legendary.
	It's monumental.
	Their first positive partisan take on Trump.
	Do you know who was opposed to the Iraq War?
	As a matter of fact, the only candidate who was opposed from the beginning, Donald Trump.
	He's been anti-war since the beginning.
	And he just didn't have to be violent.
	He's seen as someone who supports our military.
	You can be someone opposed to the war.
	You can be someone opposed to a very specific conflict and also be supportive of the military.
	That's not what those protesters did, and certainly not back in the era of Vietnam.
	Trump is constantly claiming to be the anti-war, never started a war president,
	but that doesn't mean that he wasn't the warmonger throughout his entire presidency.
	Yeah.
	I mean, he almost started a war with Iran to remain president, threatened to start war with North Korea.
	I think that they said something like his number of drone strikes, and I don't have the number in front of me, in two years was more than all of eight years of Obama, which is kind of hard to believe because Obama was the drone strike king for a while.
	Yeah, that's true.
	That's what he's most known for.
	If anything, I feel like Donald Trump could be considered anti-war because he is a fence-sitter on that shit, because there's no one he's talking about.
	Sure.
	He wants to broker that deal, you know?
	He wants to make them pay out the wazoo.
	That's the art of the deal, you know?
	That's a really good book that I heard about.
	Like, the only true anti-war candidate I ever remember was Bernie.
	Bernie was so anti-war.
	And also, Bernie's very pro-Palestine right now.
	Yeah, that's true.
	That's odd.
	Bernie is a Jewish man who's pro-Palestine.
	Well, that's not possible.
	He's not really Jewish then.
	Wait a minute.
	I think one of us is that guy too.
	Excuse me?
	No, me, come on, come on.
	No one liked them back then!
	Sorry, protesters, not Jews.
	Okay, good, good.
	So he's talking about how Trump is anti-war, right?
	But he thinks that all the current protesters, the future will not look kindly on them.
	Of course not.
	Like they'll look back and be embarrassed, is that what he's saying?
	That's what he's trying to say because... Okay.
	There's a 75% disapproval rating of these protesters and disruptors, and only 1 in 10 blamed the National Guard for what happened at Kent State back then.
	That amazes me.
	1 in 10.
	That means that if only 1 in 10 blamed the National Guard, that means that the remaining 9 out of 10, you probably saw at least 3 to 5 say, like, yeah, they should have opened fire on Moore.
	Doesn't mean it's right!
	So, by this logic here, society does not look positively on the Civil Rights Movement, because back then, everyone still hated all the people who were gaining their rights.
	Yeah, yeah, which means that... Stop, I guess?
	Stop now?
	Because it's unpopular then?
	Because it was unpopular?
	Okay.
	Yeah, 1 in 10, you know, while Nixon was incredibly popular, but then later on was found out to be incredibly unpopular, right?
	After the dust had settled.
	The reaction back then, as he says, But now we don't really look at it at the same light.
	Now we look at it as sort of like a the moral compass and especially the resolve of Kent State.
	You talk about that for like two seconds.
	You know like one of the last things that they did as far as like the the civil court that happened after this.
	So the guardsmen who were involved with the shooting, the guardsmen that were there, They sign a statement at the end of the civil rights trials recognizing that better ways have to be found to deal with these types of confrontations, right?
	So these probably already occur in numerous situations where law enforcement officials have issued a caution to the troops to be careful because, quote, we don't want another Kent State.
	Insofar, this has happened, lessons have been learned, and the deaths for young Kent State students have not been in vain.
	Right, that's directly from the Kent.edu website, an article by Jerry M. Lewis and Thomas R. Hensley published back in... But did they redact it?
	Because they need to change that, right?
	I thought everyone hated it.
	Yeah, they don't agree with this at all.
	And I couldn't find this statistic that Stephen mentioned, the 75% of people didn't approve of it.
	He asked all four of his grandparents.
	I guess.
	One of them's okay with it.
	One of them's dead, so they couldn't answer.
	Great.
	No, but I did find an interesting statistic that I'd like to share.
	There's an early 1968 Harris poll that gave Martin Luther King Jr.
	Harris poll that gave Martin Luther King Jr. a 75% disapproval rating.
	Yeah, yeah, of course, exactly like what we're talking about right now, right?
	Well, hmm, people continue to, you know, look pretty poorly on his message.
	That's right, the future did not respect his message, dude.
	60% of African Americans thought he was irrelevant at the time.
	Okay, yeah.
	Yeah.
	So, clearly, died for no reason.
	But also, get your links in your sources, Stephen.
	Please.
	Makes my job a lot easier.
	I think those people, the protesters, the people that were the hippies, have gotten into positions of power within the government, within education, and within the media, and now have put this picture out there that they were the virtuous ones all along, and most people just kind of go, well yeah, I wasn't there, and I don't really know much about it, but everything I see shows that, and nobody liked these people!
	So desperate for that point to be made.
	Who writes the history?
	They go through this all the time.
	Who fucking writes the history?
	It's the fucking winners write the history, brother.
	You know, must we forget every single time?
	Why people look fondly on the students is because they did the right fucking thing.
	Feels like the show has had a severe lack of conspiracy since Nick DiPaolo's left, so it was nice of Gerald to step in here in a sec.
	So is he saying something along the lines of the hippies of yesteryear are now in power because everybody hated them?
	Or something?
	He gets into this a little bit.
	He believes that the media and the Democrats are creating a false narrative to, um, I don't know, create this new reality that everyone just accepts and believes with no question.
	These people were voted into power.
	I say Steven gets one of those butch military haircuts because this weird anti-hippie stance he's taken in the last two- You think he's gonna get one?
	Like a straight up military fan?
	I would love it.
	Maybe for this month he should.
	A jarhead kind of thing?
	This guy's only friend is And also Josh.
	That's true.
	Would you guys shave your face into an offensive thing for me?
	No, my mustache isn't that good.
	How many members do we have for the website?
	No.
	More than half of people polled in this country said the protests had no effect and the top albums being sold in the 60s were show tunes and country albums.
	You guys think that it was nothing but hippies?
	No, people hated hippies back then just like they hated disco in the 70s and they hate these people on campus now.
	This doesn't represent the vast majority of America.
	It represents the entire DNC.
	That's the difference now.
	People like what the hippies did now, Stephen.
	I'm sorry, buddy.
	And also... What is wrong with you?
	I don't know.
	Most of the popular albums from 1965 through 1969 were just Beatles albums.
	They weren't showtunes, they weren't country music.
	Showtunes, dude.
	Showtunes.
	Rubber Soul, Revolvers, Sgt.
	Pepper and the Lonely Hearts Club.
	Showtunes.
	White Album and Abbey Road.
	Showtunes.
	And then in the 70s, which I guess he's failing to recognize as where the tides really did turn with our support of the Vietnam War.
	Sure.
	Simon and Garfunkel.
	Okay.
	Carole King.
	Pink Floyd.
	Okay.
	Yeah.
	Sounds just like a bunch of show tunes.
	And then, I mean, Elton John.
	You know what I really like is, uh, T-Rex.
	A little Mark Bullen.
	Sure.
	You guys into that?
	I'll listen to it after the show.
	I don't think I have much time for that in my life, unfortunately.
	Dude was probably a freak, but you know what I mean?
	Stephen is handling this so stupidly.
	He's addicted to copium.
	He's in a copium den right now.
	I'd have a hard time finding somebody who would say that the Civil Rights Movement was a bad idea.
	That the Vietnam War was exactly what we needed back then.
	Well, I think in his opinion, it's all complicated.
	At the time, people said these things like, oh, I don't support what these people are doing.
	Sure.
	And then now we reflect.
	And what's that phrase about hindsight?
	Hindsight's always 20-20.
	Deltron 30-30.
	I was going to say AR-15.
	Oh, shit.
	I mean, support for the Vietnam War did drop significantly in the early 70s, late 60s.
	Yes, and nobody, nobody says, I wish we stayed.
	Do you think Stephen thinks that?
	I have a graph from Roper and it's a changing attitudes about Vietnam War protests in 1977.
	Okay, about the protests.
	71% of people disapproved of the protests.
	In 71?
	Yep.
	1990, it was 39% are unfavorable.
	So people, after time to reflect, said, hmm, they actually had the right message, is that what you're saying?
	Yeah, and I imagine that things have shifted even more.
	But back then.
	Think about it back then.
	1 in 10 back then.
	1 in 10 back then.
	1 in 10.
	It's like that's the protest chant.
	That's Stephen's protest chant.
	The counter protests are shutting down.
	I mean, it's kind of MAGA, right?
	It's MAGA.
	Great again.
	There's a Gallup poll in 2000 that said that 7 out of 10 Americans, 69% believe that sending troops to Vietnam was a mistake.
	Just want to say that.
	Okay.
	Well, I mean back then though, dude.
	You guys hear about Kefia Karen?
	Uh, no.
	Uh, yeah.
	Yeah.
	What did he call her?
	Something about, uh, did he look like a, like a cowboy at the guy behind her or something?
	Oh, yeah, because someone's wearing a crop top behind them.
	Male presenting person wearing a crop top.
	Yeah, I only saw the Keffiyeh and I said, nice.
	Is that her there?
	Yeah, that is her.
	I'm looking at the article from the New York Post, the most reliable oldest paper in America.
	Great.
	Yeah, the headline is Keffiyeh Karen wines for glass of water, proving pro-terror students are total weaklings.
	Fellas, is it weak to drink water?
	Well, it is.
	Period.
	Yes.
	Yeah, I had a medical procedure this morning that required me not to drink fluid for four hours before.
	Torture.
	I bet.
	So a spokesman for the protesters at Columbia University, Johanna King Slutsky, came out to do a press conference and said a couple things more than just what they lock into here.
	She spoke as a spokesperson and demanded that Columbia bring these protesting criminals Food!
	Why should the university be obligated to provide food to people who have taken over a building?
	Well, first of all, we're saying that they're obligated to provide food to students who pay for a meal plan here.
	But you mentioned that there was a request that food and water be brought in.
	To allow it to be brought in, I mean, well, I guess it's ultimately a question of what kind of community and obligation Columbia feels it has to its students.
	Zero.
	Well, no.
	I think he'll walk across the quad to the vending machine.
	Maybe.
	There's a Burger King across the street!
	across the quad to the vending machine.
	Maybe.
	If the answer is no, then you should allow basic, I mean, it's crazy to say because we're on an Ivy League
	campus, but this is like basic humanitarian aid we're asking for.
	Like, could people please have a last walk?
	Humanitarian aid, she said.
	They just compared themselves to Gazans.
	Nobody's asking them to bring anything.
	in that situation and in that position.
	So it seems like you're sort of saying, we want to be revolutionaries,
	we want to take up this building, now would you please bring us food and water?
	Nobody's asking them to bring anything.
	Now watch, she can't answer this question.
	Oh, so they blocked it, watch.
	We're asking them to not violently stop us from bringing in basic humanitarian aid.
	They're stopping the delivery of food?
	We are looking for a commitment from them that they will not stop it violently.
	Oh, but they haven't stopped it yet.
	Well, I don't know to what extent it has been attempted, but we're looking for a commitment.
	Let's laser in here.
	Has a single Uber Eats driver been dropkicked?
	Yeah, but has a single Uber Eats driver been allowed to go into the building to deliver food?
	Yeah.
	Great question.
	It's fair to... I understand why they're laughing at our terminology because they don't see it.
	Yeah, they hear the word humanitarian aid.
	I do like that Josh accidentally admitted that humanitarian aid needs to get to Gaza.
	That was a good slip-up, Josh.
	Interesting.
	They just compared themselves to Gossens, yeah.
	This person, I want to just say real quick, sounds cool as hell.
	I found their Columbia University profile here, researching... Looking at that dissertation?
	Yeah, yeah.
	There's some cool stuff on here.
	Pretty interesting, you know, want to study.
	Well, if you're a fucking communist.
	Yeah, totally.
	And like, you know, the Marxian lens.
	But what's not fun about that?
	Everyone likes to have a little fun.
	I think it's wonderful.
	You know, but overall, it's like, it's obviously what they're saying is just that there's been like a huge police response here as they just covered.
	We want to make sure that the university is not going to sic their dogs on us when we try to get food to the people inside this building.
	It's like no doubt that this has been their intention.
	If people left to get food, they wouldn't let them back in.
	This is exactly what she said, which it sounds like she's saying that they just want to have safe passage to get the people inside food.
	So it's like, yeah.
	They're not leaving.
	They're just like, we want to be able to go in and out, like, you know, to get them the things that they need, like food and water, essentially, you know, just like essentials, essentially.
	It was just a list of general demands.
	And I don't, I don't think that it's unreasonable to say that, you know, these students, Columbia has a responsibility to the safety of its students.
	Yeah, 100%.
	And we went over this last week.
	They're questioning, no, you don't get a say in this.
	It's like, yes, they do.
	They are the student body.
	There is no school without them.
	Yeah, but they didn't pay for it.
	Their parents did, or it's student loans.
	Yeah, dude, student loans.
	Yeah, I guess so.
	I mean, to explain it away.
	No, that doesn't explain it away.
	It's still money.
	And most people pay back their student loans.
	To imply that everyone who gets a student loan is just going to wait for it to be forgiven by Joe Biden or AOC.
	Definitely AOC.
	Ridiculous.
	Stupid.
	Just waiting for him to hit him with like the Soros reference and be like, now the snake eats his tail.
	It would be like if somebody in there was having like a medical emergency, someone was like, we're not gonna help you unless everyone gets out.
	That's pretty cool.
	Like that's basically what they're saying.
	It's some really good hostage negotiation.
	I know you might disagree, but... Well, I mean we just talked about some very important elements of this protest, but we didn't fucking talk about the name.
	What is the name?
	Slutsky?
	She's trying to bestow upon herself a victim status that hasn't even happened yet!
	To be clear, if Uber Eats didn't exist, she would literally not know how to survive in a major American city with food and water.
	Yes These are they can't get over the humanitarian aid like
	what like it's air dropping Remember that?
	Operation Dumbo?
	Like what's happening here?
	Remember that?
	Because it's the same language they use when they say, Israel's blocking humanitarian aid to Gaza.
	You mean they're blocking bombs?
	Yeah, that's exactly what they, she just equated themselves to Palestinians.
	But they don't know what humanitarian aid is!
	Humanitarian aid is just assistance used to relieve suffering during emergency situations.
	Yeah.
	That's it.
	And that's kind of what this is.
	So it is now, here's the thing.
	Steven's going to argue that they put themselves in some urgent situation.
	Okay.
	That's what he'll argue.
	I can empathize with that idea, right?
	I can empathize that he feels like that these people put themselves there, so they don't deserve anything.
	But the bottom line is that this is basically like a social war and you have to still support those people throughout the process.
	Just like you can't just starve soldiers because you disagree with their stance.
	That's inhumane.
	It's just, it's complicated and Stephen is, it's not as simple as Stephen is describing it.
	It's a comedy show.
	Oh that's true, it's a comedy show.
	It's also a cavalcade.
	This is just a cavalcade of bizarre people.
	It is.
	Who is the homosexual in the midriff who looks like, with the bandana, like a queer, genderqueer cowboy?
	Do you see this?
	First of all, I think I should make another.
	Okay.
	Content warning.
	Okay.
	They pulled together a quick bit.
	Great.
	It's really fucked.
	I want cock in my mouth!
	It's Wyatt Slurp!
	It's James Cockburn!
	Billy the Kid Fucker!
	I was gonna go with Butch Assidy.
	Ooh, and the lap dance kid.
	Yes.
	It's wild.
	Bill, tickle his cock.
	And she's Muffalo Bill, so that's good.
	Flamidia Jane.
	The point is, no one likes these people.
	I don't like you even a little bit.
	Was he just being homophobic for no reason?
	No reason.
	Yeah, you know, usually when I see a straight guy on the news, I say, look at that fucking woman fucker.
	Yeah, but he loves getting pussy all the time.
	So fucking stupid.
	It's so dumb.
	I don't know how anyone listens to this.
	It's just Steven doing what Steven does.
	I mean, moving forward, should I even pull these kinds of clips?
	I don't even know if I should play them.
	I think it adds to this to show how absolutely unserious Steven really is about this stuff.
	He doesn't care about this.
	He cares about this as an opportunity to make fun of people on the left, and that's all he's doing here.
	He's saying, hey listen, listen, this person is expressing her real concerns about the health of these people inside, but there's a guy who's showing his belly button in the background.
	Fuck off, man.
	I don't know what else to say.
	Yeah, yeah, like I had to see this man's belly button.
	I don't know.
	Yeah I really don't know like moreover that uh my thought on it is that it's using a single person as like the voice of an entire political movement and it's like well like a lot of these people support what this person is saying and what they are doing what these what the students are doing and and you know if they don't go to the school and they want to protest and be you know with uh pro-Palestine like I also support that I guess in the same breath, I have to support their right to counter protest, but we already went over that.
	What are you arguing against here?
	You know, like that's what it kind of, it just keeps feeding it into itself.
	This is the snake eating its tail.
	Like there's no winning on either side of this conversation.
	You know, it's like if we have universities that are going to fall to it, then the students win ultimately.
	And you know, I guess that's that, that like, that's like the secret path.
	But the conversation around it is the Ouroboros, I guess is what I mean to say, you know?
	I think you're, you're totally right.
	They're, they're using this as just like a way to diminish the entire movement.
	That's it.
	They're just using it as some means to shit on the entire idea because it's, it's, it's one thing that they, they know their base will latch onto.
	Yeah.
	And especially, I think, Jared, when you mentioned that it's a snake eating its own tail, the counter protesters come out not to protest the idea, but to protest the protesters.
	Exactly.
	Exactly.
	That's what I'm saying.
	Like the conversation around the topic is the Ouroboros, right?
	And then like the whole... Stick it to the libs.
	The whole actual protest itself, like the real threat to like taking their money out of this thing that being the reality of the situation.
	Divest from this.
	Jared, that really sounds like something that somebody who likes kissing chicks would say.
	I'm flexing over here.
	Ah, ah, ah, ah.
	Flexing like all of those barstool sports frat boys who are taking this as an opportunity
	to put on their favorite Old Navy American flag tank top.
	Pretty cool.
	Three, four, ten bucks.
	One for me, one for you, one for Dennis.
	Mug Club Undercover got a chance to go, you know, undercover again.
	They tried to get a scoop at some of these protests.
	Kind of like last time they failed, they did that again.
	Okay.
	However, they did capture this kind of sick chant rap.
	Okay.
	That a protester was doing.
	F**k off Israel!
	Israel a b**ch!
	Bch we out here mopping up some colonized st!
	F**k off Israel!
	Israel a b**ch!
	Which is kind of fire.
	It's pretty good, yeah.
	Not bad.
	There's some serious art that comes out of this.
	Do you remember when the Black Lives Matter Boulevard had the mural on it?
	Yeah, yeah.
	Right?
	And then there was a Blue Lives Matter mural that looked like fucking trash to me.
	It looked like fucking crayons, yeah.
	Yeah, it looked like somebody bought it on Etsy and just put it on there.
	Yeah, pretty cool.
	It was such a hilarious representation.
	Like, art is born of suffering.
	Speaking of suffering, they got absolutely nothing in this undercover situation other than a clip that could have very well been shot, captured by the Cartnark.
	You familiar with this guy?
	I love Cartnarks.
	This has some serious... Certified lazy bones.
	Some serious auditor energy going on by whoever this is.
	I imagine it's like one of someone's cousin.
	I don't know.
	Has a police officer approaches.
	Okay.
	What's up, brother?
	It's a violation of policy to vape on campus.
	No sh**.
	To no food, no smoke, no vaping on the campus.
	There's a few vapers over there.
	I need to see your ID.
	I don't have my ID on me.
	You don't have your ID, then I'm gonna need to ask you to leave the campus.
	Okay.
	There's a bunch of people vaping up there, by the way.
	I'll address them as I can.
	There's also several safety concerns I have that we documented.
	There's several students hanging over.
	It's very dangerous.
	We talked about that with our legal.
	You guys are allowing it to happen right now.
	Yeah, that is total... That is Cardnark!
	It's Cardnark!
	Cardnark's little brother.
	Cardnark Jr.
	I bet it is Cardnark guy.
	I don't think Cardnark guy would even be that embarrassing.
	I don't think he vapes, probably.
	That guy has to run quite a bit.
	I don't think that guy... I think that guy drinks only water.
	It's true.
	Healthy.
	Healthy guy.
	Fuck, man.
	They got nothing.
	This is what your Mug Club money's going towards.
	That's right.
	$188,000 so that this guy can try and make friends with a cop who's just like, get the fuck out of here, man.
	You gotta go, man.
	You're an adult on a campus.
	You're just falling ass-backwards into content like this.
	Back to the studio?
	I guess.
	By the way, something else.
	We're tracking this down.
	These banners are hanging over overpasses.
	And we noticed, and my team noticed, that people were honking in their cars well before they could have seen the banner.
	And then we noticed the same license plate coming around, coming around.
	And just so you know what your Mud Club membership supports, we are tracking down that license plate.
	We can't confirm everything yet, but we will follow up.
	Some pretty interesting information.
	I'm unaware of the legality surrounding driving license plates.
	We're gonna go harass this person.
	Yeah, let's go harass this person who is...
	This person's protesting from their car.
	Yes.
	They're driving it around.
	It's almost like, you know, if you had some friends that were doing like a...
	Every time you honk, we take a drink and then you were like...
	Dude, I'd lap around.
	Let's go. Yeah, let's give them another one.
	Yeah.
	As if like the people that were like, we're trying to draw attention to this,
	like what else could we do to draw attention to this?
	Maybe, I don't know, drive our car and, like, honk the horn real quick.
	Nothing wrong with that.
	I don't... Why is this, like, we're taking time to talk about this on the show.
	This is very serious.
	Can you believe that these people are trying to draw attention to themselves?
	Like, it makes me sick to my stomach!
	License plate lookup tools?
	A legal method for assessing a vehicle's registration details, basically.
	It's only in certain instances that you can use it to find personal information.
	Okay, good.
	Yeah.
	You can't just use it because they're honking at protesters repeatedly.
	On that note, Stephen, keep it up.
	Keep wasting this money.
	Definitely.
	Please keep burning this cash.
	Burn this cash.
	Please, please, please.
	I want to hear so many of these stupid investigations.
	Should we try to get it on some of this Crowder cash?
	We definitely should.
	Let's form a fake license plate look up business and sell it to him.
	Pay me for my vids.
	Time to talk about the reason behind their Monday night stream a little bit.
	Sure, okay.
	One of the reasons that we did what we did on Monday night was what you're seeing on CNN right now, right?
	They're showing these clashes, they're saying police and protesters clash at the University of Wisconsin.
	They're not showing just the protesters harassing other people and being Jewish people and keeping people from getting to classes.
	They're starting to put that narrative in your mind.
	It's about the police response.
	It's not about the protesters.
	And so we're going to show the police responding.
	And by the way, we're going to show you the evil of January 6th.
	They did that about 10 minutes ago, showing the police interacting with the crowd.
	This is evil.
	This is not.
	They look exactly the same.
	As far as acts of violence, just in the last, we've experienced like 50 January 6th.
	Exactly.
	Just one campus looks exactly the same as January 6th.
	I don't think so.
	Definitely not.
	Tens of thousands of people protesting.
	Have people died at these protests?
	I haven't heard any stories of anyone dying.
	Not that I know of.
	But thank God, honestly.
	Not mass violence, I guess.
	I think it's appropriate to say that there is a difference between breaking into a building at a school and the capital of the United States.
	Housing all of the representatives.
	Yeah, yeah.
	During official business that is meant to bring about a new president.
	Breaking into buildings is bad, but there's a big difference between breaking into the Capitol building of the United States of America and a school administrative building.
	There's a big difference between those things.
	And a big difference between hundreds and thousands.
	Yeah, and there's also a big difference between people being killed and not being killed.
	Very much.
	Yep, and also there's a big difference between the president telling you to do it and not telling you to do it.
	Great point.
	Just spitballing.
	We're talking apples and oranges here.
	Oh yeah.
	They're both fruit.
	They both have seeds.
	They both have skin.
	They both have flesh.
	One of them doesn't kill people.
	Does one of them knock anyone unconscious?
	Ooh, probably apples.
	Also, I think the lady who was knocked unconscious because she had too many bottles in her last name might consider that violence.
	Yeah.
	I thought keeping somebody from a protected class from being able to access, I don't know, the, the, the, the university that they paid for might be a crime as well.
	Like maybe, maybe keeping black kids out of a school in Alabama was a crime that needed police presence there that they made sure integration happened.
	Here's the same thing.
	Holy fucking shit.
	They're really comparing this to the people trying to keep black kids out of school?
	Out of school, yeah.
	That's where Gerald went with it.
	He went there.
	The struggle of these college kids trying to get to their economics class is just as bad as a black boy trying to go to school.
	So lazy.
	Just fucking stupid.
	What even is that?
	It's like the laziest commentary.
	It's like, is, you remember back in like 2020, like when people couldn't go to gyms and they were like, you know, and Applebee's and all this shit.
	And they were like, uh, it's, it's like my own Holocaust.
	And it's like, Oh my fucking God, dude.
	Like, how can you be like that blatantly dumb that that's a, that's an apt description of a, of a circumstance for you.
	It's just so fucking stupid.
	You say that Jared.
	But have you ever had riblets and chicken fingers in one platter?
	I haven't because I've been oppressed.
	Now I'm getting them all the time.
	Here's the secret to make them.
	You cook them in the same microwave.
	Well, it's all air fryers now, right?
	Oh yeah, true.
	As we land this plane of protest.
	We are solely landing this plane on the river.
	Steven explains to us, you know, why this protest is illegitimate.
	Okay, yeah.
	The point to protesting, or let's say a coup, if you're actually trying to effect real change,
	you need to have something at stake.
	You need to have something that you lay, okay, let's show our cards.
	All right, what are you putting, what chips are you putting on the table?
	In this case, nothing.
	Let's walk through this.
	A protester right now saying, I am out there protesting in solidarity.
	Okay.
	All right.
	So what are you risking?
	For example, if we had walkouts when I was in high school, we knew that we were going to be suspended.
	Right.
	And very few kids walked out.
	In this case, most of these students, not suspended.
	Okay.
	Are you foregoing your education?
	No.
	Tuition well, that's that's actually paid for when you talk about student loans at this point.
	All right Your freedom you're not going to be arrested.
	They're being arrested.
	Of course.
	They are in there's threats of expulsion.
	There's all kinds of consequences There's tons of consequences But but even then you don't need to be personally putting things at stake to show your solidarity for of course not no Yeah, that's like saying that I'm not allowed to protest civil rights issues because I'm a white guy Yeah I remember vividly that when we were in high school, which is the same time that Steven was in high school, there were protests.
	Sure.
	And the school may have threatened those things, but not a single kid at my school got expelled or suspended because they did a walkout to protest the Iraq War.
	I just had a vision in my head of Stephen being the only one walking out of high school to support George Bush.
	Is anyone coming with me?
	He's the one who's sitting in English class being like, no, I stand in solidarity with our president.
	You're in Canada.
	It's not the same thing.
	Which brings us to the last clip of the night.
	Finally, I never thought it would come.
	I know, right?
	Much like Steven leaving class to support genocide, he's asking his audience in this last clip what they're willing to sacrifice.
	What will you give for the cause?
	What are you willing- and this also can apply to you, by the way.
	You can bitch on X. What are you willing to put at stake?
	What are you willing to risk?
	No more being anonymous and worrying about your job.
	Look, the left is coming for you anyway.
	They're willing to risk nothing.
	You need to be the party, the group of people, meaning conservatives, people who love America, MAGA, Republicans, whatever you want to call yourself.
	Put something on the line and let people see it.
	Let people see that you're stepping out in faith because you believe in something and you're willing to put something at stake.
	That's what we've done.
	Hey, it's what we can do.
	Put something at stake.
	Put $89 at stake for a yearly subscription to Mug Club International.
	I'm just confused about what the difference is between the students doing physical protests at college and actually having some kind of serious stakes of, you know, arrests or expulsion, etc.
	The left is willing to give up nothing, he said.
	But yeah, uh, I'll tell you what the right just gave up though.
	What's that Jared?
	Motherfucking Macklemore, dude.
	What?
	Yeah, yeah, he's out here and he's putting out new songs pro-Palestinian jams out here.
	Okay, so like that's something that the right could suck on that dude.
	All right, he's putting all his proceeds to UNRRA.
	Is that what it's called?
	Great job, Ben.
	He's saying that the protesters doing physical action is bad, organizing is bad, and not sacrificing anything, but if you tweet something without the fear of your job seeing it, that's a just cause.
	No, no, you're supposed to lean into the fear and accept the fear.
	I just don't know.
	Masks off.
	Doesn't make any sense to me.
	He wants everyone to do like an OnlyFans face reveal, but for your political opinion.
	OnlyFans face reveal?
	Is that a thing?
	I don't know.
	Is it a thing?
	I don't know.
	Yeah, that's definitely a thing.
	Well, that's about all I can handle this week, everyone.
	If you disagree with us, feel free to convince us otherwise.
	What the hell did we learn tonight, boys?
	That my struggles as a man who is on the left... You mean your comp?
	Huh?
	My struggles as a man are just like a black man in the 60s, of course.
	Yeah.
	I learned that that book was written by the third chair, Josh Shurestein.
	I guess we're gonna find out more later on.
	Well, he's doing a real face reveal pretty soon here, too.
	I wonder if that's a Mug Club exclusive.
	I might have to sign up for that.
	Only mugs.
	Yeah.
	It's late, damn.
	Yeah, I didn't learn a goddamn thing other than Stephen wishes that he was his dad's best friend in 1965.
	So, I hope that that's... Strongest man I know.
	Per usual, didn't learn anything other than just a bunch of hateful awful people.
	Yeah, Big Stinky Turds.
	This is nothing new for trash like you.
	The opposite of that.
	Some people left us reviews on Apple Podcasts.
	What did we get?
	Did we get some bad ones?
	No, unfortunately not.
	Five stars.
	Great show from Dr. Sayre.
	It's great there's finally a show to cover all of Crowder's antics.
	Best part of the show is when one of the guys says, is that the Ahoy guy?
	I'm the best part, baby.
	I crack up every time.
	That's a great review from somebody's dad.
	It's a nice review.
	It's also my least favorite.
	Is it?
	Oh, I have no idea.
	It just sounded very, like, great job, boys!
	Keep it up!
	Yeah, it wasn't my father, and it's my least favorite bit that you do, Dennis.
	I know.
	I'm bringing it back, though, just to get us some more five-star reviews.
	Do you have a bit that gets five-star reviews?
	You do, actually.
	Yeah, there's a couple that make it.
	Yeah, people love your That's All We Can Handle.
	Oh, great.
	Yeah, do say that.
	And it is.
	And we appreciate you, of course.
	Thanks so much.
	If you want to reach out to us, you can find us on X at Van Crowder, louderthancrowder.com, louderwithcrowder.net.
	And until next time, I'm Byron.
	I'm Jared.
	I'm Bennett.
	I'm going to counter the counter for this.
	Great.
	Take care.
	You've been listening to an AudioWall original, produced by Byron McCoy.
