Episode Overview

This episode centers on Aaron Rodgers' outspoken criticism of Anthony Fauci and the broader reaction from mainstream sports media, particularly ESPN. Crowder and his panel use Rodgers' appearance as a lens to critique perceived leftist cultural dominance, journalism bias in sports, and the suppression of dissent on topics such as COVID-19, gender ideology, and religious freedoms. The discussion also extends to cultural commentary on trans issues, media narratives, the state of women’s sports, and celebrity activism, all delivered with the show’s signature irreverent and politically incorrect tone.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Aaron Rodgers’ Rant Against Fauci and Media’s Double Standard

• Crowder highlights Aaron Rodgers' appearance on Pat McAfee's show where Rodgers criticizes Anthony Fauci’s evasive behavior during congressional hearings.
• The discussion expands to ESPN’s treatment of political opinions from employees—punishing those who questioned the vaccine while platforming progressive voices.
• Notable quote (Crowder on ESPN's shift):
  “This was a network, a company that used to be very funny, used to be cutting edge, designed for men. Now try to push a leftist agenda which is inherently feminine, just to be clear.” [12:33]
• Factoid: A referenced (though unsourced) 2024 study found ESPN posted political stories 94 out of 100 days sampled.
• Multiple panel members reflect on workplace vaccine mandates, referencing Sage Steele and Allison Williams as high-profile cases of dissent punished at ESPN.
  • “A pregnant woman, you better take the vaccine. Now let's look at how they treat everyone on the left.” [16:05]

2. Media and Social Justice—Religious Exemptions, LGBTQ+, and Sport

• Clips are played of ESPN’s Sarah Spain denouncing players taking religious exemption for not participating in 'Pride Night', equating their stance with bigotry and broader discrimination.
  • “That religious exemption bs… allows for people to be denied health care, jobs, apartments, children, prescriptions…” [16:34] —Sarah Spain
  • “Has she ever spoken out against Islamic religious exemptions? …They want to do it uniquely to Christians.” [17:23] —Crowder
• Crowder questions the consistency of left-leaning media in platforming LGBTQIA+ solidarity while vilifying Christian perspectives, especially regarding sports participation.
• Discussion pokes fun at the ever-expanding LGBTQIA acronym and the claim that any restriction of rights is a “threat to all rights.”
  • “A violation of any of our rights is a violation of all of our rights. That's not true. It's a very, very stupid platitude…” [21:05] —Crowder

3. Race, ‘Fake Hate Crimes,’ and Media Hysteria

• Coverage of the Bubba Wallace NASCAR "noose" incident, which Crowder lampoons as a widely debunked fake hate crime.
  • “It would be like creating a documentary on Jussie Smollett as though he was a slave in Roots and doing it without a hint of irony or self awareness.” [23:13]
• The panel mocks the performativity in media reactions to such stories.
  • “Turns out someone did a quick tie because they didn't have a lot of time. How about you err on the side of not being a little bitch?” [24:30] —Crowder

4. China, Human Rights, and American Self-Critique

• Crowder critiques ESPN and sports leagues for broadcasting to China while downplaying Chinese human rights abuses, contrasting concerns about American policies to the far graver abuses in China.
  • “Do you actually believe that a conservative Christian, pro Second Amendment American… is a greater threat to civil rights than the Communist Chinese Party?" [27:10]

5. Elliot Page, Gender Ideology, and “The Science”

• Extended mockery of Elliot Page’s interviews on gender and “the gender binary,” with Crowder forcefully disputing Page’s arguments on gender diversity in history and nature.
  • “They'll say this… There are plenty of societies that had trans and third, fourth, and numerous genders. Untrue, made up in 1990… The top example, Native Americans, [term] two-spirit was first mentioned in like 1990. It’s a new thing.” [35:30]
  • On referencing the animal kingdom:
    “This idea that queerness is accepted and it's common in the animal kingdom. First off, it wouldn't necessarily apply to humans… Otters, ducks, dogs, dolphins—they'll say some dogs prefer same sex friction… Do you really want to compare us to animal sexuality?” [39:59]
• The panel derides celebrities and sports figures for what they see as empty virtue signaling with “buzzword” activism.
  • “How does it feel to be a trans actor? …That’s violence… They are demanding you deny reality to conform to theirs.” [44:22]
• Crowder asserts that women's sports and leftist ideology focus more on inclusivity than competition, to the detriment of merit.
  • “Sports is about belonging. That's a woman's answer. If you ask a man what sports about, he's gonna say winning.” [51:48]

6. Women’s Sports, Inclusivity, and Physical Differences

• A segment focuses on a WNBA coach’s claim that “sports is about belonging and inclusivity,” highlighting statistical data about women dunking and performance differences.
  • “More male humans have walked on the moon than women have ever dunked a basketball.” [53:18]

7. Lesbian Domestic Violence, Marriage, and Taboo Topics

• Crowder brings up data regarding lesbian domestic violence and divorce rates, arguing that such issues challenge the narrative of LGBTQ relationships being uniformly positive or progressive.
  • “The hetero divorce rate is about 22%, 41% for lesbians. And… the lesbian rates of domestic abuse are absolutely off the charts. Like 44% for lesbian women, over 60% for bisexual women…” [57:03]

---

Memorable Quotes & Moments

• Crowder on media hypocrisy:
  “Our broadcast—oh, you started ESPN, you're the founders, are you? …If people say no, I don't believe that's a violation of human rights. But let's just take what she said on her face. We hear that a lot. Violation of any of our rights is a violation of all of our rights.” [20:37]
• Mocking left-leaning rhetoric:
  “So the degeneracy, the bohelians, the parties, and the flowing wine and the orgies—that was only reserved for the elite. Matter of fact, sometimes the elite were allowed to engage in it and the peasants were barred from doing it.” [38:26]
• On Elliott Page's biological arguments:
  “Human beings are not animals. …These same people who want to tell you that sexuality is incredibly complex want to compare human being sexuality to animals, which, by the way, is very straightforward.” [39:59]
• Panel on ‘inclusivity’ in sports:
  “If you ask a man what sports about, he's gonna say winning. And that's why they want to play women's basketball, so they can win.” [52:02]

Transcript

[Steven Crowder]

Guys, stop it. The horribly racist things that you said can never make air. All right, we all agree. Maybe Mud Club later. Welcome to the lineup live here on Rumble. I'm gonna keep this introduction really short. Aaron Rodgers. He's back ranting and he feels vindicated. I would agree with him. ESPN doesn't, though. They're trying to use the athletics platforms out there, the professional sports platforms, to now subvertly push the leftist agenda. Not so. Not so covert would be Elliot Page, who I get that. I'm supposed to recognize her as a man now. Difference of opinion. I won't. Not a matter of opinion. She's an idiot. So we'll talk about that. And then socialism. Mike Rowe responding to socialism and the DSA and the left losing their mind. Socialism and communism are two very distinctly different things. Except they're not. So let me ask you, what's the difference between a Marxist, a A communist and a socialist? Outside of a beard? On with the show.

It just sticks to your teeth like there's nothing you can do about it.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Steven Crowder]

So it's like a dog with peanut butter. Yeah.

[Josh]

Sit there and take it. So you're not doing well because of a cough drop.

[Steven Crowder]

Your answer to everything is, sit there and take it. Biggie

[Tony Fauci (impersonation)]

Friday.

[Steven Crowder]

I don't know. I've been doing the Leo voice for my kids because they're Fauci every night. So when I kiss them, I go, like, now it's time to kiss you. One, two and three. Like, wait, you forgot four. I kiss them for every year. I go, that's right. Now it's four. Now go to sleep. And I just. They scare me. Cause they want me to do the Lehigh. Go Freeze. Come on. Anyone out there have kids? You ever have that where the kids get really into a movie and they're just like, do the voice. Do the lizard voice. And then I do Bill Burr, and they're like, he's not fun. You know what?

[Josh]

I agree.

[Steven Crowder]

Come on, dude. You don't like the turtle, right?

[Josh]

No.

[Steven Crowder]

Like, no.

[Josh]

Nobody does in the entire movie.

[Steven Crowder]

Friday, September 25th, at Average Joe's. But he's far from average. He's above average, mostly. Laredo, Texas, is where it is. Josh Firestein, how are you?

[Nick]

Good. I hear that's a big Border Patrol town.

[Josh]

Is it yeah, yeah.

[Nick]

Border Patrol, ice, those kinds of folks. So, yeah, we'll have some fun and maybe we'll arrest somebody.

[Steven Crowder]

Well, sometimes ice can be very nice. Yes. We're not your kids. No, no, no. It's amazing that Adam Sander made a whole career of this. All right?

[Nick]

It is amazing.

[Josh]

It really is.

[Nick]

And you do that voice. Do you know who you're talking about?

[Elliot Page]

No.

[Steven Crowder]

Why would you criticize? Maybe it's time for you to shut up. All right. Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow, she suc

[Elliot Page]

on

[Steven Crowder]

the show for the first time for doing exactly this. And you know how some trans people, of course, the most beautiful and brave among us, they're living out their sexual fetishes in public. That's really all it is. It's like, hey, look at me. I got silk panties. I'm sure. Well, that's what Chow is doing. Olivia Chow. Only it seems like her fetish is she wants to, for the first time, be seen as sexy in public. Swing and a miss. I told you how we look in. Oh, yeah, that's the mayor of Toronto.

[Nick]

Those hips don't lie. They shake, baby.

[Josh]

Is that shaking?

[Steven Crowder]

Actually, I do think those hips lie. I think they lie compulsively. I think those hips lie when there's no need to lie. Like, I have a glass bottom boat. No, you don't. Why are you lying about this hips? I had a friend who did that as a grew up. He was a compulsive liar. You tried to convince us he had a glass bottom boat. Oh, really, Calvin? We know where you live. It's basically Canadian equivalent to Section 8. You don't have a glass bott vote. It's okay. You're a good skateboarder.

[Gerald]

Isn't that enough?

[Josh]

That's not even a flex.

[Steven Crowder]

Why would that be cool? It's just weird. You ever known a compulsive liar?

[Noodles]

Everybody was attacked by ninjas on the way to school.

[Josh]

Really?

[Noodles]

Yeah.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah. And you all just go, sure. Well, the point is, that's Olivia Chow's hips. They lie when they stand. Nothing to gain from that lie. She said this about the event. It's all about celebration, freedom, liberation. But also a real sense of belonging. Except you don't.

[Josh]

Is that why you have to put a costume on? So you can belong and make yourself something you're not?

[Steven Crowder]

Isn't this so silly? Now people are like, yeah, to live my authentic self. It only costs thousands of dollars in accoutrements, accessories, and hopefully hormone replacement and. Or surgery.

[Noodles]

Oh.

[Steven Crowder]

Oh, you know, there you are. I didn't recognize you. I thought that you were you. Turns out you're this costume and these prosthetics. Thanks for keeping it real, you freak.

[Nick]

Everything about her is a costume. Trying to belong, you know?

[Steven Crowder]

I know.

[Nick]

She's trying to belong in the Caribana festival. She's trying to belong as a Canadian.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah.

[Nick]

When really she's just fresh off the glass bottom.

[Steven Crowder]

That's exactly right. I have one that's real.

[Josh]

No, you don't.

[Steven Crowder]

I have so many grass bottom bowl. I have to choose which glass bottom boat.

[Josh]

Today you take it to the office.

[Steven Crowder]

You don't have that many glass. I wear them like skis. Grass bottom boat.

[Nick]

Is that a real thing? A glass bottom boat?

[Steven Crowder]

That can't be real, right? It is real. It's like something that charters use for snorkeling with huge amounts of people. It's not something that a lower middle class kid in Canada has in his garage.

[Nick]

I don't think they're making pontoon boats out of glass bottoms or.

[Josh]

No, that would. That would defeat the purpose. Because pontoon, what's her. A little out of the water. The whole point is to be able to look at fish.

[Steven Crowder]

It's science. This seems like it's gotten off course a little bit.

[Josh]

We've got that little two in the weeds.

[Steven Crowder]

But it is cool, though, the glass bottom boat. The point is he didn't have one. And she's a liar also. Why is it not cultural appropriation for her to do that?

[Josh]

I don't know.

[Nick]

Because she's Chinese.

[Steven Crowder]

Oh, there you go.

[Nick]

It's only cultural appropriation. You're white.

[Steven Crowder]

That's true.

[Josh]

It's lazy snorkeling.

[Steven Crowder]

If you're Chinese, you don't. You don't have to.

[Nick]

So I think Canadians just get away with that. Even if you are white. I think you just get away with it. You're like, oh, they're Canadian. They're goofy.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah. Their prime minister can do black face, body and shorts. You're Canadian times.

[Nick]

You guys aren't in charge of the world. You guys can do whatever you want.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, you can do anything you want because you don't matter.

[Josh]

I mean, we'll just let you prime minister. Nobody cares if you don't matter.

[Nick]

Nobody cares what you do.

[Steven Crowder]

That's not even a joke. That's just. That's not a punchline. It's just a statement of fact. They matter.

[Nick]

It's funny though.

[Tony Fauci (impersonation)]

It is.

[Steven Crowder]

There's some Canadian ones like, well, hey, that's not true. All right. Make your case. Change my mind. Canada, doesn't matter. Change my mind. We didn't do it at the border. I'm 100% serious.

[Josh]

Awesome. I like this idea. Let's do this.

[Steven Crowder]

All right. Hey, Aaron Rodgers, he is. I don't want to say I don't know enough about sports, but back certainly as far as in the public spotlight.

[Josh]

Yeah, yeah, he's. He's the starting quarterback for the Steelers. Okay.

[Steven Crowder]

Well, there you go. I thought he got a suspension and he sort of was quieter in media for a while, it seemed.

[Josh]

He got a little talking to.

[Steven Crowder]

He got a little talk. Well, now he's basically. He's been taking this victory lap where he was right as it relates to certainly Anthony Fauci. And it's funny to see the way espn, right. This was a network, a company that used to be very funny, used to be cutting edge, designed for men. Now try to push a leftist agenda which is inherently feminine, just to be clear. So let's actually look at this. If you look at. Oh, the left actually is actively trying to inject their agenda. This is a new stat. We finally found an example 2024 study out of a random 100 day sampled ESPN featured political stories on their homepage. 94 days, you'd think it'd be sports stories. 94.

[Josh]

Mostly.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, you'd think mostly.

[Noodles]

Sports adjacent.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, sports adjacent. Right. So. So that brings us to the rules that you see for those on the right in a lot of professional sporting leagues and ESPN, the networks versus the left. Here is Aaron Rodgers on Pat McAfee's show. And you've seen this rant. Fact check everything true and we'll compare it to the left. How do you kind of view this year versus maybe the years of the past?

[Tony Fauci (impersonation)]

I'm gonna plead the fifth.

[Matthew Lillard]

Okay.

[Nick]

Okay.

[Tony Fauci (impersonation)]

You gotta love that guy like that. Absolute coward, Tony Fest. Absolute coward. Are you Kidd.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah.

[Nick]

111.

[Tony Fauci (impersonation)]

You got a pardon and you're in front. And you pleaded over a hundred times.

[Matthew Lillard]

Yeah.

[Tony Fauci (impersonation)]

At the White House. What are you scared of, Tony? I thought you were the science.

[Nicole Nakase]

Yeah.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah. I thought you were.

[Tony Fauci (impersonation)]

I am science. And you get up there and you can't answer a question.

[Matthew Lillard]

Yeah.

[Tony Fauci (impersonation)]

What are we doing? And how much time did the network spend at that. How much time did they spend on my responses every week on my vaccination status, on Taylor at Travis's wedding? Did they do even a minute. Did they do even a minute on Tony Fauci?

[Steven Crowder]

No, I didn't. I don't think I've heard.

[Tony Fauci (impersonation)]

I bet they didn't.

[Steven Crowder]

But on that note, then there was

[Tony Fauci (impersonation)]

another scandal that said off season two involving a voter for MVP for coach of the year. How much time do you did your

[Josh]

network lady sleeping with the coach?

[Tony Fauci (impersonation)]

I wish.

[Steven Crowder]

This is awesome.

[Tony Fauci (impersonation)]

Go back to Fouchy. Yeah. Go back to the Coward. Tony Fauci and science. He's spending the entire time.

[Steven Crowder]

You can say what you want. This is a masculine interaction.

[Josh]

Famous.

[Tony Fauci (impersonation)]

You got to be careful. Kidding me?

[Steven Crowder]

It's been a fun ride for you, I would assume, over the last few years.

[Tony Fauci (impersonation)]

It's been a great, great life and a great career, and it's nice to be sitting on this side now. Especially after that Coward played the fifth over 100 times. I thought you had a part in there, Tony. Why couldn't you answer one question the entire time?

[Steven Crowder]

It's very Norm MacDonald to keep going back to it. He's a criminal. I thought it was a matter of record. So just to be clear, he's not the only one, right? ESPN punished quite a few employees over there at the network for speaking out against the COVID vaccine. Like Sage Steele was a famous one. Allison Williams was another one. She was a reporter. She was trying to get pregnant. So she didn't want to take the vaccine. And they're like, well, okay, we're gonna have to punish you for that. You gotta take the vaccine. You can't speak out against it. Think of how silly that is almost anywhere else. And it's rightfully so. A sacred cow in the sense that pregnant women. We go, okay. We have to be really, really careful. I mean, even doctors go. Things that are safe for people to take supplements, you probably shouldn't. We just wanna err on the side of caution.

[Josh]

Right.

[Steven Crowder]

When it came to an experimental vaccine by. By the admission of those advocating it, where we didn't know all the ramifications. However, you would be punished as a pregnant woman for not injecting it into your body.

[Tony Fauci (impersonation)]

Yes.

[Noodles]

I was there at the time. I was forced to get the vaccine. And I was remote for a year and a half. When they forced us all, they mandated it. I was remote for another year and a half after that.

[Steven Crowder]

Wow.

[Josh]

But still had to get it.

[Noodles]

Yeah.

[Josh]

I didn't even come in.

[Steven Crowder]

I forgot you were there during that actual period.

[Noodles]

I still have the email interaction where I asked to not have it. Yeah.

[Steven Crowder]

You know what our policy was here. And by the way, this wasn't even the policy of a lot of conservative companies. I said, take it, don't take it, I don't care. Don't talk about it don't ask people about it. I'm not doing it. So whatever. That was it.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Steven Crowder]

I have no idea who has or who has not here. I would imagine most people who were working here probably did not. There you go. Hey, isn't that an appropriate approach for an employer? What happened to my body, my choice?

[Josh]

It's how it's always been done. You mean like HIPAA violations? Making sure that you're not violating somebody's privacy over this?

[Steven Crowder]

Right, Right. Well, they would say, well, because it's like polio, it's like measles. Right. You affect everybody. Oh, so the vaccine ensures that you can't transmit it. Oh, wait, it doesn't do that. You lied about that too. So it ensures.

[Nick]

I had to have a vaccine passport

[Steven Crowder]

just to work, right?

[Nick]

Yeah, Literally, I had to have the card with me or I could not go on stage and make money.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah. It was absolutely absurd. And this brings us to how they treat the left. So in other words, a pregnant woman not want to take a vaccine. That's a bridge too far for espn. Just understand how radical when people say, I'm a moderate Democrat. Okay, ESPN didn't get the memo. Pregnant woman, you better take the vaccine. Now let's look at how they treat everyone on the left. So here's this. Reporter Sarah Spain said that baseball players refusing to partake in pride night were bigoted across the board.

[Sarah Spain]

Pride is about inclusion. So you don't love them and you don't welcome them if you're not willing to wear the patch. And calling it a lifestyle reveals to me that you've done not even a modicum of researcher understanding on this topic. It's what tends to happen when a privileged class isn't affected by things. This is not just about basic class. That religious exemption bs, which is used in sport and otherwise, also allows for people to be denied health care, jobs, what apartments, where children, prescriptions, all sorts of.

[Steven Crowder]

But enough about Islam.

[Sarah Spain]

So we have to stop tiptoeing around it because we're trying to protect people who are trying to be bigoted from asking for them to be exempt from it when the very people that they are bigoted against are suffering the consequences. They're trying to use religious exemptions to affect the opportunities, services, available, resources for people who are lgbtq.

[Steven Crowder]

Has she ever spoken out against Islamic religious exemptions? Does anyone know? Highly doubtful. What she's trying to do is obviously target Christians. This is what they've been trying to do, remove their tax exempt status for a long time. Whatever your opinion, on that they want to do it uniquely to Christians. And then she just throws everything in there. Like, if she were to make the case, hey, the religious exemption is BS because Christians should still have to support lgbt. If she left it there, we could have a disagreement. But instead she goes, the religious exemption allows these people to block them from, forbid them from. She goes, housing?

[Nick]

Yeah. She said, yeah. Rentals, housing, health care, prescriptions, getting kids.

[Steven Crowder]

Right.

[Nick]

Is it buying kids or whatever, Stealing kids? I don't know what she was saying

[Steven Crowder]

there, but housing, like, the Catholic was like, oo, ay, eh, si dominey. Get a tent.

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Steven Crowder]

What does this even come from?

[Nick]

How are people. You. How are people discriminating and not allowing you to get housing or medical care or prescriptions when you can't even refuse somebody a cake?

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, exactly.

[Nick]

What are you talking about? Also, who. The privileged people you're talking about. You talking about the Dominican kid who lived on a dirt floor his whole life, Right. And had to leave his country at the age of 16 to come here. And he doesn't want to wear a gay pride hat. Now he's using his.

[Steven Crowder]

His privilege. Well, let's be clear, when they say that, what they're really pointing to, and this ended up being a Supreme Court case, I believe Hobby Lobby, where they said Hobby Lobby is not providing birth control to their employees. Well, that's not true. They provided 16, I believe, out of the 21.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Steven Crowder]

And there were a few others. They said, well, as a Christian company, we believe those are abortificants because it actually terminates the pregnancy after fertilization, after conception. So 16 out of either 20 or 21. I'm pretty sure I'm right about that. I'm going by road. That was considered a foundational violation of human rights. And they do the same thing. If Christians now go, well, no, I don't want biological men and women's sports. In other words, there is no moderate left. They don't want you to be able to practice your religion, to practice your faith. Here's more proof. ESPN also broadcast this criticism of Florida's don't say gay Bill, which isn't an actual bill. At three o' clock about eight minutes ago, our LGBTQIA teammates at Disney ask for our solidarity and support in opposition to anyone who uses the term lgbtqia, firstly, is an asshole. Second, they cannot be moderate in any sense of the word because that acronym has been added to each year in the last five or 10 years. What they are saying now is not the same acronym. They would have used five years ago. But they will accuse you of hate speech if you don't use the new term. Just so you know, the left will take control of all your speech. Anyone who says that LGBTQ, AIP, whatever, AI plus, that is someone who I guarantee you 100% would support speech laws. Let's continue. The parental Rights in education bill in the state of Florida and similar legislature across the United States. Don't teach kids about we have sex stuff to any human rights is a

[Nick]

threat to all human rights.

[Steven Crowder]

At this time, Courtney and I, we're going to take a pause from our broadcast to show our love and support for our friends, our families and our colleagues.

[Josh]

Ratings just went up.

[Steven Crowder]

First off, a couple of things. Our broadcast. Oh, you started espn. You're the founders, are you? Second, I don't believe that preference of friction and legislation therein is a violation of human rights. And I don't believe that demanding taxpayer funded sex changes or hormone replacement therapy. If people say no, I don't believe that's a violation of human rights. But let's just take what she said on her face. We hear that a lot. Violation of any of our rights is a violation of all of our rights.

[Elliot Page]

Rights.

[Steven Crowder]

That's not true. It's a very, very stupid platitude and people say that a lot. It's basically a pinterest way of saying slippery slope. Hey, a violation of anyone's rights means we're violating all our rights. Tell that to the Saudi royalty or those in the royal family in Qatar who have indentured servants who are being killed as they try and build the stands for the latest soccer stadium. It's just not true. Tell that to the West African slave traders who by the way, lived high on the hog while they bought and sold people. It's almost like those who violated other people's rights actually benefited from more rights for themselves. It doesn't make it right. But the same people who say things like that, they'll say, well, these people believe that might makes right. Well, again, it's not a moral judgment, it's a statement of fact. Look, I'll prove it to you. Might does make right. It does. The person who is strongest, most powerful is the one who is able to enforce, protect rights and determines the rules of the game, even if they're evil. That's why you would rather good people have the might have the power. Let's apply it to international policy. Okay. Russia, right? The left hates Russia now, even though they said, you know, Cold War cold. They want their foreign policy Back to Mitt Romney, where Russia was our friend, now they're our enemy. Okay, go to Russia and use the leftist approach. Hey, you know, you really shouldn't jail and silence political dissidents of Vladimir Putin, because violating their rights is the equivalent to violating everyone's rights. So you have a lot to think about. It will change nothing. The other approach might makes right. Hey, Putin, don't get froggy with your nukes because we have more and we'll mess you up. Got it? That's why you don't have to live through the falling of Skynet. The left just says, wouldn't it be nice? And they state it as a fact. Then they point to reality and the fact and say, yeah, but I don't like it. It doesn't matter. That's how the world works. That's the foundational difference between the left and the right. Let's go back to espn. So gay, gay, gay. Don't say gay.

[Matthew Lillard]

Bill.

[Steven Crowder]

Lgbtq. AI. Okay, all right. How about race? Remember Bubba Wallace? Remember that story that was debunked and we told you while it was happening? I guarantee you this is not true. This was what was posted on X. They said, last year a noose was found in Bubba Wallace's stall at Talladega Super Speedway. The next day, the NASCAR community stood with him in unity. And then they aired this dramatic. I want you to just to know how silly this is. It would be like creating a documentary on Jussie Smollett as though he was a slave in roots and doing it without a hint of irony or self awareness. Here's the dramatic documentary on the fake hate crime for Bubba Wallace. I get out of the car, I look back, and I was like, holy, it's the whole garage.

[Nick]

Where's the black guy?

[Steven Crowder]

That's when I lost it. I looked. That's when I looked at the camera and fake cried. Is that a Windsor knot?

[Josh]

This is Richard Petty.

[Matthew Lillard]

Seriously,

[Josh]

he went soft.

[Steven Crowder]

He might as well be weeping over a zip tie.

[Josh]

It was a garage pull down. That story had already been debunked by the time that they ran that article.

[Nick]

Yeah, but he felt. He felt accosted. He felt the racist implications.

[Steven Crowder]

Right? That was his truth.

[Noodles]

Did he?

[Nick]

Yeah.

[Josh]

I thought he was gonna say he pulled in the garage and looked behind him and there were no other cars because he came in last place, which he normally does.

[Steven Crowder]

Also, let's just allow for the fact that if that's. That's because that's his truth. That's his authentic self. Well, maybe his Authentic self is a pussy. Let's just compare that to Aaron Rodgers. Like, you look and you go, what, did someone put a noose over there in an area that I don't even have to cross? Well, what a jerk. And you move on. Not, I can't believe we haven't been FBI. Just be a man and move on. Turns out someone did a quick tie because they didn't have a lot of time. How about you err on the side of not being a little bitch?

[Nick]

Yeah, don't be a bitch. By the way, what you said, Gerald was mean about him coming in last place.

[Steven Crowder]

Yes.

[Noodles]

Yes, it was.

[Nick]

He is a pussy.

[Josh]

But yes.

[Steven Crowder]

Also, if it was a foot race, you know his black half would win. But when you put him in a car, you know, it evens the playing field. Now, let's go to. All right, so gay, good. LGBT, good. Trans, good. Vaccine, good. Pregnant women wanting the right to their own bodily autonomy, bad. Hey, while we're talking about all these rights, a violation of any of our rights is a violation of all of our rights. What do they have to say about Communist China? Hey, ESPN employees, panelists or senior writers. Ja Adani, as a fan and then as a reporter, how do you reconcile and join this competition while also considering everything I just said? Who are we to criticize China's human rights records when we have ongoing attacks by the agents of the state against unarmed citizens, and we've got assaults on the voting rights of our people of color in various states in this country? Who are we? Well, can you tell me how many bodega owners are serving life in prison because they didn't sell packs of cigarettes like the Uyghurs just as a jumping off point, I think that's a difference. Also, if you just look at even the most radical people on the right, where I don't think that Islam is compatible with the West. Meaning I think we probably need to phase out immigration from Islamic countries where they support global terrorism. We just don't want them here. Or we would like them deported to their country of origin, where they could actually be under a government they support. China's policy is to jail you forever. That's who we are. But I don't think a man is a woman. Sorry, what was that?

[Nick]

At least they get to stay in the country, right?

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, they do. They get to stay in the country.

[Josh]

And also, according to his standard, you have to be perfect on everything before you can criticize anybody else, right? What they're doing, it's objectively true that they are Violating civil rights. But because we have some, like, questionable things that are going on, we should probably just stay silent and let the rights violations continue.

[Nick]

Who are we to question China? We're broadcasting there.

[Josh]

That's right.

[Steven Crowder]

Not like that, especially. It's not like the Christian right. Let me ask you this question. Let me distill this genuine question to those who are left leaning out there. Do you actually believe that a conservative Christian, pro second amendment American, Okay. Do you believe that that person is a greater danger or threat to civil rights than the Communist Chinese party that runs the country of China? Genuine question. Are you more afraid of Joel Osteen, of Jay Dyer, orthodox Christian? Are you more concerned, more afraid of that person or Xi Jinping, who is a greater threat and or violator of fundamental human rights? Answer that question honestly and then explain to me how anyone at ESPN can argue intellectual consistency or principled consistency. Seriously. I think, though, that we. We can all find some common ground on some things. Not a lot anymore, and I'm not going to fake it, but we can all agree that a cup of joe in the morning is universally loved. They even do it in China. They also do tea.

[Josh]

Josh. What are you doing in here?

[Nick]

It's my side hustle, Gerald.

[Josh]

Coffee paper?

[Nick]

No, not coffee paper. I'm making replicas of the Declaration of Independence.

[Josh]

Obviously, you're using blackout coffee on company time for your side hustle, Josh.

[Nick]

No, not just blackout coffee. Strange animal blend. You know, it's that coffee blend that Stephen hand picked the beans for and carefully selected it. You should know this, Gerald.

[Josh]

No, no, no, I do know this, Josh. It's a fantastic premium blend. You can go to blackoutcoffee.com crowder and get 20% off your first order. Or, hey, maybe this is something you didn't know. Fun guy, right? Dark roast, if you're into that. They've got brutal awakening now. It's got more caffeine, puts a little bit more pep in your stomach. Except it's good stuff.

[Nick]

Thank you.

[Josh]

No, not for your forgery.

[Gerald]

Whoa, whoa, Gerald.

[Nick]

We do not use the F word here.

[Josh]

You know what?

[Steven Crowder]

Okay?

[Nick]

We prefer synthetic authenticity.

[Josh]

You know what? Just clean this up and stop with your side hustle right here.

[Tony Fauci (impersonation)]

Okay?

[Josh]

Look at me, look at me, look at me. Coffee is for consuming, Josh.

[Nick]

You're right. Coffee is for consuming.

[Josh]

Wait, wait. What are you using for ink?

[Nick]

Help yourself. There's plenty to go around.

[Steven Crowder]

Go to blackout coffee.com crowder. Use the promo code CROWDER for 20 off your first order and try the new exclusive Strange Animal Brew. Yes. I chose the beans. It is the blend that we drink here exclusively. And now I'm making it available to you.

[Nick]

Paper actually kind of gives it a nice taste.

[Steven Crowder]

And funny thing is I told. I was like, we spent a lot of time finding a real dead octopus. We didn't need to. That could have been fixed.

[Nick]

No, we needed it.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Nick]

Just in case we had to get some ink out of there. You know, we improvise sometimes I don't

[Steven Crowder]

know if you can get it once they're dead.

[Josh]

You can't get the smell from a toy. It doesn't smell as bad.

[Steven Crowder]

We have some BTS footage of the dead October octopus.

[Josh]

We do. Pretty soon it made the round.

[Steven Crowder]

And yes, if you like. I've heard. I don't like dark roast for the same reason I don't like my steak extra, extra well done, butterflied. But if you do like dark roast, the strange animal blend is not for you. It's like a medium full city roast. They do have dark roasts, of course, at Blackout as well.

[Josh]

It's just not brutal awakening.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, the new one just not my jam. Yeah, it's very good for a dark roast. Just like it's like a very good for an extra well done steak.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Steven Crowder]

But some people demand it. Noodles, you're about to say something.

[Noodles]

Oh yeah, I was just going to say, by the way, on the hobby lobby thing, 16 out of 20.

[Josh]

So you were very close.

[Steven Crowder]

16 out of 20. All right. Close, by the way. Go check out the references. We make them available every single show link in the description. And if we get something wrong or if there's a dead link, you can always let me know on Social, on X or on Instagram and I'll be sure to fire an intern. So we went from espn. Let's go. Remember, we were all just told like, oh man, the wokeness, that'll be a chapter that'll be closed. Right? People trying to like the left now trying to say, well, you know, we went too far. No, they're still trying to take everything too far. If the left would have their way completely unfettered, you would be fined and or jailed for not sharing their opinion on biological men transitioning to women. That is still what they want to see accomplished in this country. You know, like Europe, like anywhere else, the left has attained power. So that brings us to Elliot Page and her anti scientific rants. It's time for trannies and troons.

[Nick]

Can you believe all of these trainees and troops? Trainees and troops.

[Nicole Nakase]

I'm all about Women. That includes trans women.

[Steven Crowder]

It doesn't.

[Josh]

It just.

[Steven Crowder]

It doesn't. I'll go back to that. But it doesn't. Let's just play the whole clip so you can see the idiocy on display of Ellen Elliot Page trying to talk about the gender binary, how human beings are the only people dumb enough to believe that male, female are a thing or that it's required for reproduction. Something something elites. And by the way, she also shops at Ventriloquist Dummies.

[Elliot Page]

R Us play the natural world and what we learn in biology class and in terms of it seemingly being this CIS patero, patriarchal, you know, system is. I don't know. However, we'd say that is. I feel used against queer and trans people in. In terms of us being made to seem maladaptive. There's something wrong with us.

[Noodles]

Correct.

[Elliot Page]

Or we're some modern thing, which is, of course, we know. Know that's not true. We've been.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, that's forever.

[Elliot Page]

And I think transfers.

[Steven Crowder]

Rewind that a little bit because I'm going to address that just a little bit. Tool man, because I was laughing at the actual monster. Play it again right from that. Yeah.

[Elliot Page]

Which is, of course, we know that's not true. We've been, you know, everywhere, forever.

[Steven Crowder]

You know, that's false. But they teach it in college. I'll prove it to you. Keep playing.

[Elliot Page]

I think, and I think it's so important because it becomes so clear that, you know, we're told and taught stories by those in power to uphold a status quo that serves very, very few. And I don't even think it serves

[Steven Crowder]

those very few, all of human population

[Elliot Page]

deeper into maintaining their question, you know, conversation about it and in knowing that, you know, this work that incredible evolutionary biologists have done, and you know, Joan Rough Garden's book Evolution's Rainbow just shows a degree of, you know, queerness, gender and sexuality, diversity and nature.

[Steven Crowder]

Not a thing.

[Elliot Page]

I.

[Nick]

But you read it in a book,

[Elliot Page]

I think is an example of how we're not told the truth for obvious reasons, you know.

[Steven Crowder]

Ooh, what are the obvious reasons? Yeah, it serves those in power. Yeah, it is, right? It serves the power. It doesn't serve the monsters like us. Can you play that again? The one part, just. Cause I want to address this. You're taught this a lot. Like, actually they'll say this. They used to do this with the gay stuff. And it's incorrect there too. Actually. Many says we're the first society that has a hangout with the gay thing. Untrue. Actually, you know, there are plenty of societies that had trans and third, fourth and numerous genders. Untrue. But let's play it again.

[Elliot Page]

The, the natural world and, and what we learn in, in biology class and in terms of it seemingly being this cis. Heteropatriarchal, you know, system is. I don't know. However, we'd say that reality.

[Nick]

You don't even know.

[Elliot Page]

I feel used against queer and trans people in, in terms of us being made to seem maladaptive. There's something wrong with us or, or we're some modern thing, which is, of course we know that's not true. You know, everywhere, forever, you know.

[Steven Crowder]

Okay, let me just go through that first. So Mal, I'll go through this. Maladaptive. Bring up the definition for that in real time there. Noodles, I'll go back to you. Then he says, wrong or fake, as though there's something wrong with it. We'll go back to that. But first, we've been here forever. Not true. They'll try and point you to a couple of examples. Check out the references. They do this in college. I've run into this one changed my mind a very long time ago. One follow up question destroys their whole plan, destroys their whole line of arguing. They go, top example, Native Americans. No term two spirit was first mentioned in like 1990. It's a new thing. Several tribes, by the way, including the Navajo and Muskogee, ban gay marriage. Are not exactly the most tolerant. If you mean that some people are like, well, you know, Walking Bear is a little bit light in the loafers, but he's good at picking berries. So we just sort of let him do it. Okay, fine, fine. Their society was based around reproduction. Their society was based around. Now some of them would have. Instead of the nuclear family unit, there would be components of a village. That's where people used it back in the day to say it takes a village. Because you'd have most of the women staying home while the men went out and hunted. And they would all help raise everybody's children because they believed that that was the ideal so that no one person was burdened with that responsibility. This is pre modern technology. It was division of labor. But the idea that, oh yeah, there are tons of gender, countless genders. Bullshit, not true. Made up in 1990. The other example to try to point you to is the Greeks. The Greeks were very gay in a lot of ways. There was no gay marriage in ancient Greece. You kept that shit to yourself. And they don't want to tell you what kind of gay when they talk about historically, what they really mean is, like with the Greeks is pederasty was seen as mentorship of high class boys and sort of a luxury of people who were in positions of being, the teacher versus an apprentice. Also, it's important for people to note whether you're talking about the Spartans, the Greeks, depending on the era, it was okay if you were a mentor. And again, this wasn't the same as marriage. To have sex with a man, you were still chastised, punished, sometimes executed if you were the receiver. And it was discovered because that was seen as inherently feminine. So they don't tell you what kind of gay was acceptable. It's like, yeah, yeah, okay, you can engage in that friction. Of course, you still have the responsibility and duty to be married and to reproduce because we need to have a society. Also, if you're a bottom, enjoy the cross. Now that might be, of course, a combining of different historical. I know, but you understand the point. Whatever it is, wood chips up your thumbs throwing you off a cliff or

[Josh]

you just had to be plowed, that's punishment enough.

[Steven Crowder]

Yes. Then she tries to go on. They'll do this too. So they go, plenty of examples throughout human history. It's false. Go check the references. And then they try and say, well, actually, you know, it's very prevalent in nature. That's also false. But hear her say it.

[Elliot Page]

I think it's so important because it becomes so clear that, you know, were told and taught stories, stories by those in power to hold a status quo that serves very, very few and liberal education. If we want to get into a deeper philosophical question, Paul.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah. Let me explain to you historically. Pause. Let me explain to you historically who sexual degeneracy or deviancy benefited. That's why you look at people like Caligula, Roman emperors, people in huge positions of power. And that's also why you look at people like Marcus Aurelius, who shunned that, right, who slept on the floor, because he was saying this whole degeneracy, this decadence, this sexual deviancy, this carnal lust and seeking of pleasure destroys your soul. So it was actually seen as something, any type of sexual degeneracy, deviancy, abnormal behavior, as benefiting those who were the elite because they could stand to do that. They could enjoy it because they basically had a harem of sex slaves and they could still give you an heir, they could still reproduce. It actually wasn't something that the peasants could engage in because they needed more farm hands. So the degeneracy, the bohelians the parties and the flowing wine and the orgies, that was only reserved for the elite. Matter of fact, sometimes the elite were allowed to engage in it and the peasants were barred from doing it, where they would be punished if they were seen as sexual deviants. It's the exact opposite of how she presents it. Go check out the references. Let's keep playing.

[Elliot Page]

And, and in knowing that, you know, this work that incredible evolutionary biologists have done, and you know, Joan Roughgarden's book Evolution's Rainbow, just show the degree of, you know, queerness, gender and sexuality, diversity and nature.

[Steven Crowder]

Wrong,

[Elliot Page]

I think is like, is an example of how we're not told the truth for obvious reasons.

[Steven Crowder]

So you guys can let me know what you think. Which intellectual fallacy that says, do you think it's a false equivalency, an invalid comparison, or red herring? It kind of would qualify as both. Human beings are not animals. And I understand we can look to the animal kingdom sometimes for behavioral patterns, right, or survival mechanisms, but human beings are not animals. And these same people who want to tell you that sexuality is incredibly complex want to compare human being sexuality to animals, which, by the way, is very straightforward. They have a little chip in their brain that says make other animals. And that chip is kind of activated, that program by friction. And sometimes they just take the friction. This idea that queerness is accepted and it's common in the animal kingdom. First off, it wouldn't necessarily apply to humans for the same reason that rat studies don't always apply to humans. We know it's a good indicator. We don't know the actual results. Otters, ducks, dogs, dolphins, they'll use these. I'll say some dogs prefer same sex friction. Okay, so do you really want to, you really want to compare us to animal sexuality? Well, why do you take some animals that happen to rump an animal the same sex? How about you talk about male otters and how they select their mate? They bite their neck, claw their face and bang them until they hopefully don't die and can give them a baby. How about corkscrew penises with ducks so that the woman can't get away? Female ducks, sorry. How about dolphins who gang rape for fun? But why would we say, well, look, we should look to the animal kingdom. Okay, let's do it then. Let's do it. Hey, hey. What happens when male. You don't like patriarchy. I understand that. And they'll often point to like, actually, if you look at the, if you look at the lions, it's a matriarchy uh huh. What happens when two male lions fight? Did your evolutionary biology book of faggotry tell you that what happens when two male lions fight for a mate? Toxic patriarchy. Toxic masculinity. Would be men fighting. Bravado. Hey, I'm not an object. The lion who wins the fight doesn't just kill the other male lion and rape the woman female lion. Sorry. I mean, they've got me on my tail. Rape the female lion. He kills all of the previous female lions mate. He kills all of his cubs to ensure no bloodline exists. Cuz he's not raising another lion's cubs. Do you want to bring in that comparison or do we say. You know what? Maybe humans have it right? Where a little bit of puffing out your chest at the bar to try and show that you may want to go home with that lady. It's not as bad as ending a bloodline by biting its neck. I'm going to be real, by the way. By the way. Thank you for the raid, Dan. How about this? All right. Animals. So the animals have it, right? This is going to be shocking. I'm making a point.

[Nick]

Cool.

[Steven Crowder]

Next Guy grabs Elliot Page and face bangs her until he feels like stopping. Congratulations. You've learned the way of the otter.

[Josh]

That's what they're calling for.

[Nick]

Come on. But birds have cute dances and songs.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, they have cute dances. Exactly. Right.

[Nick]

Except the ducks. They have a corkscrew penis.

[Steven Crowder]

Right.

[Nick]

That literally doesn't let the woman come off of it.

[Steven Crowder]

And tell me what the blue jays do to the other birds. Eggs.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah. Wanna do that? Like, hey, I wanna. I wanna bang that lady's face. I'm gonna just kill all the kids. Hero triplets. Get the fuck out of here. Like what do you.

[Nick]

You know, last night I was sleeping. I heard some cats having some unconsensional sex in the alley. And I thought, wow, nature's beautiful.

[Steven Crowder]

Yes, exactly. Right?

[Nick]

Oh yeah.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Steven Crowder]

She's wailing in pain and the other cats just put their little paws over their ears. That's how they deal with it. That's so cute though. Cute to watch her be traumatized. All right, here's Paige also going on. Elliot. Elliot Ellen. Talking about how she.

[Nick]

He.

[Steven Crowder]

How she was finally able to be her true self. You know, with a costume and the hormones. That's how you know it's authentic. So how does it feel to be a transactor? Who gets to play someone who. Most likely from the. Come on, guys. This is why if it seems like I went off On Gerald last week

[Josh]

on the Odyssey doesn't make your point, but I understand.

[Steven Crowder]

I mean it. Anyone acting, Anyone expecting. Cuz it's performance art, expecting us to act like that, that's violent coercion. Everyone going, what do you. You see A woman, right? They know that no rational human being does. And they are demanding that you deny reality to conform to theirs. And by the way, they will enforce it at the end of a gun. We'll get to socialism Marxism in a bit. That right there is an abnormal person.

[Nick]

That's Ray Lewis.

[Steven Crowder]

Yes, exactly. Text is not trans. We don't know. But a person who is a warrior. I mean, we don't see many trans people who have the opportunity to play such a role.

[Elliot Page]

Yeah, I mean this was really. It was an absolute dream in that way. And even just like putting on this costume and you know, getting to feeling my body in this, you know, like a costume, you know, but it like

[Steven Crowder]

suits because to feel my body, I need a costume. Oh, right, right. That's right.

[Nicole Nakase]

Yeah.

[Elliot Page]

Like that was so thrilling. And walking out onto the set and pretend to be a man, play this

[Steven Crowder]

character for the first time, I felt like this is who I really am. When they gave me the ventriloquist dummies

[Josh]

outfit, the one soldier they choose to leave behind because they're so effeminate, they're of no use rowing the ships back home or hiding out in the horse to go and take the city. Hey, they're gonna kill you when they come up. But don't worry, your sacrifice will be honored.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah,

[Nick]

I have a hard time believing that her costume came in men's sizes.

[Steven Crowder]

Of course.

[Nick]

I think that she's like. And the way this where she says it too supermanly.

[Elliot Page]

And then I'm like in this costume

[Nick]

and it's a woman's large.

[Steven Crowder]

They bought it from Oshkosh.

[Josh]

Warrior

[Steven Crowder]

Warrior Kids.

[Tony Fauci (impersonation)]

Oh my gosh.

[Steven Crowder]

Baby Warrior. And here's the thing, Hollywood, they're so out of touch. You need to know Hollywood and the Democrat, look at where the money came from for Kamala Harris, for Obama, for former Vice president Biden, the entertainment media education industrial complex. Just to be clear here, they all want this. This is what they have been pushing. The fact that they're trying to run from it because they know it's unpopular doesn't mean that they aren't beholden to these absolutely irrational and evil ideologies. Here's this other actor, his name is like Matthew Lillard. He used to be in the 90s, like Scream Scooby Doo. So here he spoke in an Instagram post about how his queer daughter. Sorry, I mispronounced him being an abusive parent. His queer daughter influenced his latest role in the remake of Carrie. And I want you to count with me the amount of buzzwords that he uses to create this meaningless word salad.

[Matthew Lillard]

This material resonates with me not only because I'm a girl dad, but because I'm a father of not only a girl, but a boy and a non binary kid. His story resonates with me because I myself, I'm an outsider.

[Steven Crowder]

Buzzword. Outsider.

[Matthew Lillard]

I grew up with a severe learning disability. I was an transplanted from Detroit, Michigan to Orange County, California, and I never felt like I fit in. I think what we see in Carrie is we see ourselves, for those of us who've always felt on the outside looking in, see ourselves represented.

[Steven Crowder]

Represented.

[Matthew Lillard]

The story of this incredibly powerful and happy and buoyant and hopeful young woman who steps into this vicious world of bullying. And I just, I feel as I'm watching those episodes, I feel seen.

[Steven Crowder]

Buzzword.

[Matthew Lillard]

And I feel connected to her journey.

[Josh]

Buzzword, journey.

[Matthew Lillard]

And also because, you know, having being father of a queer kid, you're like, all you want to do is protect that and allow them to rise up out of the moment they're in high school and let them be them best selves past this. This gauntlet called high school in America.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah. The thing is just, you know, having a non binary queer kid on a journey of being seen.

[Noodles]

Yeah.

[Steven Crowder]

To be fair to him, queerness does run in his family. And allies. He had company. In late. Rewind it. Otherwise I don't care if you missed it.

[Teresa]

So good.

[Steven Crowder]

Let's look at other celebrity LGBTQ parents. Sorry, I mean abusive ones. Charlize there. And Sigourney Weaver, Dwyane Wade, Gabriel Union Magic Joe Johnson, Cynthia Nixon, Robert De Niro. More.

[Josh]

How statistically impossible.

[Steven Crowder]

Statistically impossible. And here's also why, like, if you at this point, we just talked about espn. If you can't forego your sports ball, when you understand once it's very clear that the league hates you in your country, then you're not willing to fight for this country. You do you have to turn it off? I don't know. Go watch college sports. Go find something else. Now, that doesn't apply here because no one has to sacrifice watching the wnba. But Natalie Nikase, I believe she's part Japanese. Here she is again, the same as the entertainment industry. They're beholden to the Chinese market. They're beholden to Advertisers, they're beholden to the same producers. Here she is defending biological men in women's sports after being asked about Sophie Cunningham because of something. Something Science, tolerance, journey, scene, whatever.

[Nicole Nakase]

I think just in terms of how I'm seeing it is if I could answer with, like, for me, sports. Sports is about belonging. It's about inclusivity. It's about allowing everyone to be their authentic self. You know, I'm big on that. Just because I. I have been criticized for my height, for my ethnicity. I've been in those you shouldn't belong here many times. And for me, I don't want that space, especially Golden State, to ever feel like that. So I'm all about women, little girls deserving to play, and that includes trans women. So I'm all about inclusivity.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, but it doesn't. It doesn't include biological men.

[Noodles]

Men.

[Steven Crowder]

It just doesn't also criticize for my ethnicity and my height. Okay, who in the wa. Criticized your ethnicity?

[Nick]

Yeah, which ones was it?

[Steven Crowder]

Can we just.

[Nick]

Which. In the wnba.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah. Was it Sophie Cunningham? Like, you missed your three pointer, your zipper head? Is that what happened? Or was it your white.

[Teresa]

Hold up.

[Nick]

What do they look like?

[Steven Crowder]

Let's be honest. Oh, it's kind of like. Like, remember the stop Cat calling? It went away once we found out. Hey, how many women out there have been cat called by someone who looks like me? Trick question. The answer is never.

[Nick]

It went away after this. This lady did it. She did it in New York.

[Nicole Nakase]

Yeah.

[Nick]

An article. And then she was chastised for it, saying, oh, you only went to the. You know, the certain neighborhood, and you didn't include these other ones. And then she did, and it happened again.

[Steven Crowder]

Turns out she wasn't getting cat called by all the Jews in the Upper west side and had to pull the.

[Nick]

Yeah, I do like that when she. She goes. She defined, you know, what. What sports is about, because sports is about belonging. It's about inclusivity. That's a woman's answer.

[Steven Crowder]

Yes.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Nick]

If you ask a man what sports about, he's gonna say winning. Winning.

[Nicole Nakase]

Yeah.

[Nick]

And that's why they want to play women's basketball, so they can win.

[Steven Crowder]

Right. About winning and maybe about self, you know, about self improvement.

[Josh]

Yeah.

[Tony Fauci (impersonation)]

Yeah.

[Josh]

I mean, at some point, like, after we've even our own teammates, like, we want to be the best so that we can start. Like, we're not about including them. We're about beating them and then making sure they stay on so that we have depth, just in case. I Get hurt.

[Steven Crowder]

Women. I don't think that because the game hasn't really advanced as much as like men's sports, like women's NBA. And I think a big reason is just they don't have the locker room. Honestly, like, think about if someone came back to the locker room, they'd be like, hey, why'd you give such a silly bitch answer right away? It would be roasted. Like, hey, how did you miss that? Right? Guys will keep you think about run through here half the time we go. Can you imagine? This was written in a transcript.

[Nick]

Oh, man.

[Steven Crowder]

I mean, we, we, I mean we roasted Gerald for being colorblind this morning. And everyone laughed.

[Josh]

They did, yeah. And then I came to the realization that the roast was accurate.

[Steven Crowder]

It was accurate.

[Josh]

So I had to laugh too.

[Steven Crowder]

So that's a big part of it. And that's a big part of what improves people in a sporting environment. You have to be. You have to be a little bit thicker skinned. So here's Nicole.

[Nick]

While we're talking about inclusivity. You're gonna include the people who aren't good. Is that what the WNBA is doing? They're not including the people. They're not including dunkers, that's for sure.

[Steven Crowder]

No, none of them.

[Nick]

You gotta include the dunkers, man. We gotta see some dunks.

[Noodles]

Sports is specifically about exclusivity. That's the entire point. The best of the best. And that's why not everyone is in the friggin NBA.

[Steven Crowder]

Well, I will prove to you that women are not as good at athletic endeavors as men. We talked about this years ago. Oh, how do we do this? True. More male humans have walked on the moon than women have ever dunked a basketball. Here's Nakase also talking about being seen as something to be a virtue in the wnba.

[Teresa]

Hey, Coach.

[Steven Crowder]

There's a lot of talk in the league about inclusivity. And tonight the Valkyries celebrated Filipino Heritage Night. So she's half Japanese. For fans, they hate them.

[Nicole Nakase]

Yeah, it's huge. I love the fact that we can celebrate and acknowledge.

[Steven Crowder]

What's huge is a Japanese Filipino death count.

[Nicole Nakase]

I think it gets a gimmick to

[Josh]

get people to come. That's it.

[Nicole Nakase]

A superpower or confidence for, you know, the day to be recognized like that and to be celebrated for everything that their culture brings. It also, I think educates people about different cultures. And so I love the fact that Filipinos about that because I think we have to do that more, more than not. And yeah, it's exciting. I think this world needs more celebration. I Think this world needs more love, more care, Especially when some people are not seen as much.

[Steven Crowder]

Well, I tell you who's not seen anymore. The 500,000 to 1 million Filipinos who were murdered at the hands of the Japanese in World War II. And a lot of that was racially based, just to be clear, because they believed in a superior Pan Pacific race. Hey. Hey, where are you? Checking your privilege. This would be the perfect opportunity. It's Philippines Awareness Night. Like, hey, by the way, can I just take a second to say that half of my ancestry, like, really messed up a lot of those people for nothing more than they were slightly darker Asians. Like, half a million to 1 million in a very short period of time. So Filipino Awareness Night. I'm sorry about that. At least my Japanese half is. Instead, they all. It's like the Native Americans. They act as though all the tribes were unified. The Japanese did not like the Filipinos. Filipina.

[Nick]

Was that part of their, you know, their re education portion of it? Did that half time. Did she come on the, you know, the Jumbotron and say that and apologize on behalf of the Japanese people?

[Steven Crowder]

Right.

[Nick]

That's what she said. She claims that Filipino Heritage Night, it's an opportunity to educate people. No, it's not. It's an opportunity to sell Filipinos souvenir T shirts.

[Steven Crowder]

Right, exactly right.

[Josh]

It's a gimmick, Josh. You know, this. This is what minor league baseball teams do. They look at a calendar and they go, we need more attendance. Here, here, here, and here. What group of people. Can we make this their night? That we don't care anything about that will come and spend money.

[Sarah Spain]

Yeah.

[Steven Crowder]

A bunch of white people get in

[Nick]

the room, they design a special jersey for this ethnicity, and they go, ah, we're gonna put la familia on the jersey. Mexican Heritage Night. Tacoma Rainiers.

[Matthew Lillard]

Yeah.

[Steven Crowder]

And then we're gonna do Breast Cancer awareness month. Like Nick Depala says, your entire team looks like I Dream of Jeannie. Let's just do that, because everyone's gonna hope that we'll see titties who are about to say there. That would make it better. You worked at espn, Noodles.

[Noodles]

Yeah, I did. But as it would fate would have it, a few days ago, this came out on how many players have dunked in WNBA history? Lest we be overdone here. Whatever. Here's nine players have dunked. Brittney Griner has gotten a lot of dunks, but it's only nine players.

[Steven Crowder]

Nine players.

[Noodles]

Twelve people have walked on the moon. Yeah, there you go.

[Steven Crowder]

12 men, 12 men. But that's because.

[Noodles]

Right. You're right.

[Steven Crowder]

We wouldn't allow women. We're like you stay back and do math.

[Josh]

We're still over on like we haven't

[Steven Crowder]

When's the last time somebody went to the moon?

[Josh]

We've given you a long time to catch up.

[Steven Crowder]

Plenty of time to catch up still ahead. We will be for a while. Yeah, we're the hair taking a nap but the tortoise still hasn't passed us. Also by the way, in other WNBA news, don't say what Thursday, Brittney Griner filed for divorce from her wife.

[Noodles]

And by the way, another dunk for

[Steven Crowder]

no considerable wife was pretty instrumental in getting Griner out of a rush prison. That's a pretty cold thank you. Would be a good time to highlight that when people talk about hey, it's the hetero people who destroyed the institution of marriage. I get it. No fault divorce not lost on me. But the hetero divorce rate is about 22%, 41% for lesbians. And of course the lesbian rates of domestic abuse are absolutely off the charts. Like 44% for lesbian women, over 60% for bisexual women in relationships. In ascending order, it goes as far as far as domestic abuse. Gay couples. Okay, well bring me back up. Gay couples, hetero couples, lesbian couples, way, way more so maybe Brittney Griner beat the shit out of her before she left her is the point that I'm making. The point is if you are a battered lesbian, you don't have to suffer in silence alone.

[Teresa]

Hello, my name is Teresa and I am a lesbian. Did you know that lesbian couples face many of the same problems that also plague straight couples? This ranges from petty family squabbles all the way to domestic violence. In fact, D on D crimes occur at even higher rates than straight couples living in rural areas. According to research, almost 44% of lesbian couples experience domestic violence compared to 35% of straight women. 26 for gays. Not to be a Debbie Downer or anything, but I was actually slapped by my girlfriend on the way here. It's time we put an end to to this senseless violence by providing shelter for victims in, well, carpeted rooms. Please [e-mail] and let's make sure that no more Leslies take beatings from their partners.

[Steven Crowder]

You too can stop the abuse by giving [e-mail] that's a real site. We do our part. Go to battered lesbians.org and don't allow them to suffer in sounds because you know we want lesbians. We don't want lesbians hurt. I mean, if they're like movie lesbians. Lesbians.

[Nick]

I don't see what the big deal is about lesbians getting married. Why are people fighting it? They're not going to stay married.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah.

[Nick]

Why fight against it? They're gonna just take care of it themselves.

[Steven Crowder]

I wouldn't say they take care of it. It does end up being quite a strain.

[Nick]

No, they do. They take care of it. When they do, they hear this in their head.

[Elliot Page]

Taking care of business.

[Steven Crowder]

Be my wife. That's exactly right.

[Josh]

I don't like it at all.

[Nicole Nakase]

All right.

[Steven Crowder]

You know, we had a whole segment on socialism. Mike Rowan said, I just don't think we're. Let's do it tomorrow because we can do it right. I think. And the other thing is, I made a mistake.

[Nick]

Oh, no.

[Steven Crowder]

What'd you do? Well, okay. Well, just be clear. I need to be clear on what the mistake is. Oh, so, like, okay, not a mistake. Foundation creatine, right? It's like, it's the only other company I've created. We have a multivitamin and we sell creatine for 29.99. You can go to foundationdaily.com it's micro. It's cravetalis. That is 99.999 whatever percent pure from one place in Germany. Creatine's most researched supplement of all time. If you want to have your gym sessions go better, you want recovery to be better, you want your brain to be sharper. Creatine has more science behind it than any of the other crap that you see on the shelves. It's now sort of making more surgeons. But we actually have the best creatine at the best price because prices have been going up. People are selling gummies and stuff. And if you test them from the shelves, it was something like 6 out of 10 don't actually have the active form of creatine in there, or it's basically non existent.

[Nick]

So.

[Steven Crowder]

Foundationdaily.com Not a mistake. Mistake I did make. It was kind of late. I had a lot to do yesterday, and my lady and I were like, okay, we need to watch something. We couldn't find this one film that we wanted to watch. It was a Netflix movie, but then it's not there anymore. You ever have that? You know, like, I don't know where to. Yeah, it's kind of like Westworld. So we were bombarded with an ad.

[Nick]

You watched the Odyssey for?

[Steven Crowder]

No, no, he would. It's not any better. Devil wears Prada too. I knew it. And I went into it saying I'll only if we can hate watch it and hate watch it, we did. So we'll give you not our summary. I'm the only one who subjected myself to this. But we'll give you our take me. I know I took this for you.

[Josh]

Oh, thanks.

[Nick]

I'm gonna see it now so we can talk about it.

[Steven Crowder]

I suffer for you. So if you are not yet a Mud Club member, Rumble Premium is Mud Club. Mud Club is Rumble Premium. You can click that button. Join up. We'll be taking your chat.
