1. Introduction and Overview

In this episode of Louder with Crowder, Steven Crowder delves into a multitude of pressing political and social issues, ranging from immigration policies and judicial overreach to international trade deals and global conflicts. Crowder sets the stage by addressing his audience with his characteristic blend of humor and critique, laying out the topics to be discussed, including the potential suspension of habeas corpus by the Trump administration, the arrest of Newark's mayor during an ICE facility incident, and the latest China trade deal brokered by former President Donald Trump.

Notable Quote:
Crowder (00:00): "We have a lot to talk about today. Habeas corpus, is that going to be suspended? [...] So we don't exactly know what's going on, but either way, someone's going to be mislaunching a rocket. On with the show."

2. Suspension of Habeas Corpus

Crowder explores the controversial topic of suspending habeas corpus, a fundamental legal principle that protects individuals from unlawful detention. He questions whether the current levels of illegal immigration and judicial resistance to federal immigration laws meet the constitutional thresholds of "invasion" or "rebellion" required to justify such a suspension.

Key Points:

• Definition and Constitutionality: Habeas corpus can only be suspended in cases of invasion or rebellion (Crowder, 12:03).
• Current Immigration Statistics: Crowder cites that "foreign nationals make up 42% of crime suspects despite only being 17% of the German population" (07:58).
• Political Implications: He argues that suspension could be a response to what he perceives as judicial overreach and a failure to enforce immigration laws.

Notable Quote:
Crowder (12:03): "The privilege of the writ of habeas corpus can be suspended in a time of invasion. So I would say that's an option we're actively looking at."

---

3. Arrest of Newark's Mayor and ICE Facility Incident

A significant portion of the episode centers on the arrest of Newark Mayor Ross J. Baraka and three other New Jersey Democrats for attempting to enter an ICE detention center. Crowder portrays this incident as an act of defiance against federal authority and criticizes the media's handling of the event.

Key Points:

• Incident Breakdown: Mayor Baraka and others were arrested for trespassing and attempting to obstruct ICE operations (23:24).
• Media Critique: Crowder accuses the media of misrepresenting the incident, suggesting bias and a double standard in reporting similar events like the January 6th Capitol riot (27:00).
• Legal and Social Commentary: He emphasizes the importance of upholding federal laws over local or personal agendas.

Notable Quote:
Crowder (23:52): "They were arresting the mayor of Newark, who is my mayor and my constituent. [...] They went there to try and block ICE from enforcing federal law."

---

4. Women-Only Subway Cars in Berlin and Gender Politics

Crowder discusses the proposal for women-only subway cars in Berlin, mocking the concept and extending his critique to broader gender politics and policies aimed at protecting women from sexual violence.

Key Points:

• Policy Overview: Berlin's petition for "Flinter" (Female, Lesbian, Intersex, Non-binary, Trans, and Agender) only subway cars (05:30).
• Crowder's Critique: He ridicules the inclusivity language and questions the effectiveness and enforcement of such policies (09:35).
• Broader Implications: Crowder links this to what he sees as overreaching feminist policies that, in his view, do more harm than good.

Notable Quote:
Crowder (05:30): "Flinter translates to female, lesbian, intersex, non-binary, trans, and agender. So pretty much just like the old subway cars."

---

5. Trump's China Trade Deal

A central focus of the episode is the recently brokered China trade deal by former President Donald Trump. Crowder analyzes the terms of the deal, the media’s portrayal of its success, and the implications for both the United States and China.

Key Points:

• Deal Terms: A 90-day pause on reciprocal tariffs with both sides holding tariffs at significant levels (37:33).
• Media Narrative: Crowder criticizes media outlets, particularly those aligned with the left, for claiming China "won" the deal despite Trump's administration portraying it as beneficial (43:53).
• Economic Impact: He discusses the shift in the Overton window regarding acceptable tariff levels and the potential long-term effects on U.S.-China trade relations (44:13).

Notable Quotes:
Crowder (43:53): "They say, you’ve got to have Team Not America to win. So that is how they will present it to you instead."
Crowder (44:13): "They touted this. He's the longest standing CNN host, 35 years of retard."

---

6. Ukraine-Russia Peace Talks

Crowder briefly touches upon the diplomatic efforts towards peace between Ukraine and Russia, highlighting the challenges and skepticism surrounding the negotiations brokered by various international leaders, including Trump.

Key Points:

• Ceasefire Agreement: Ukraine agreed to a 30-day ceasefire, which Russia responded to with skepticism (51:02).
• Trump’s Role: Crowder suggests that Trump is frustrated with the lack of progress and Putin's elusive cooperation in meaningful peace talks (53:32).
• Media and Public Perception: He criticizes the portrayal of the peace talks and the involved leaders, maintaining a critical stance towards their effectiveness (55:11).

Notable Quote:
Crowder (53:32): "So President Trump is getting increasingly frustrated with Putin."

---

7. India-Pakistan Conflict and Miscommunication

The podcast also covers the escalating tensions between India and Pakistan, emphasizing the role of misinformation and the absurdity of the situation as perceived by Crowder.

Key Points:

• Trump’s Mediation: Claims that Trump brokered a ceasefire which India denies, highlighting miscommunication issues (57:38).
• Propaganda and Misinformation: Crowder points out the confusion caused by conflicting reports and fake war footage shared on social media (58:29).
• Nuclear Concerns: Discusses the dangers of nuclear-armed nations engaging in conflicts, albeit with a humorous take on their lack of seriousness and understanding (59:33).

Notable Quote:
Crowder (58:29): "This is the first war with nuclear powers that would play out on social media."

---

8. Drug Prices and Executive Order

Towards the end of the transcript, Crowder begins to discuss the executive order signed by Trump aimed at reducing prescription drug prices. Although this segment is not fully covered in the provided transcript, it hints at potential policies and their impact on consumers.

Transcript

[Steven Crowder]

Welcome to the lineup live here on Rumble. You don't need to change that digital channel dial, whatever we call it these days. I don't know if you have a television with one of those actual dials that makes the hap. That. That. Is it haptic feedback or what? It goes every time you change it, like you're entering nuclear code. So you get to watch today all the way through 4pm the show rolls into the next show. And this show is, of course, at 11am Eastern. Every single day. We welcome the Bongino army, who we know coming in from Vince, who just broadcast before us, which actually is translated from Vincente in Latin, and Latin is the basis of all Romance languages. And Vincente in Latin translates to, roughly, timekeeper dual zone. So you don't have to go through the anguish of adding three. We have a lot to talk about today. Habeas corpus, is that going to be suspended? And let me ask. You know, the suspension of habeas corpus is only justified with an invasion or a rebellion. Do we think we've met that threshold? There is an argument to be made because we also will talk about the Newark mayor who was arrested and representatives there who apparently, it's not a good idea to shove around ICE agents when you're a fat, old black lady. Could we be talking about the new trade deal with China? That's big news. Also Ukraine, Russia, Peace talk. A lot of stuff happened over the weekend. And pharmaceutical drugs, the slashing of those prices in India and Pakistan, Low. Look, it is a result of miscommunication of social media, low IQ and bad military. So we don't exactly know what's going on, but either way, someone's going to be mislaunching a rocket. On with the show.

[Unknown]

[Josh Firestein]

What?

[Steven Crowder]

That's all you want to know? That's why you snuck up behind me in the Bennegans parking lot and hit.

[Unknown]

Me over the head?

[Steven Crowder]

Well, yeah. American financing. That's it.

[Unknown]

That's it?

Oh, MLS 118.

[Steven Crowder]

What did you say? NMLS 182334 it's just something I have to say. That sounds like fighting words to me.

[Josh Firestein]

No, no.

If you start today, you may even delay up to two mortgage payments. Can you say that for yourself? If you did it yourself, Prob. Great. That's the sound of Monday. And also, also today it may sound like this. I've had a swollen tongue for like two days. Watch it. I think it might be an allergic reaction to tell us about your weekend. I know it's not shellfish. It could be an antibiotic that I had to take. But you guys comment below. I don't know. This isn't a medical emergency, is it? Because it keeps getting more swelling. What if I talk like this? It could be. Okay, but the real question of the day is what was the biggest win for President Trump this weekend? And also, how tired are you from the winning. You can comment below.

[Unknown]

It's merciless.

[Steven Crowder]

Captain Morgan, CEO number two. How are you, sir?

[Unknown]

Fantastic. No swollen tongue.

[Steven Crowder]

Good for you. Well, we all know who's lonely, so good night's Comedy club and rally, North Carolina, Friday and Saturday, May 23rd and 24th. Go see live comedy. There's still nothing like it. Living in your sad digital workspace. Josh Firestein, how are you?

[Josh Firestein]

Good, good. Come see my sad, not digital life.

[Steven Crowder]

No, it's a real, it's, it's a real sad life. Now we're also isolated. Right? That's what I want to talk. That's the new, that's the new buzzword of the day. The buzzwords are narcissist, red flag, isolation. Woke is kind of plugged right now, though. Well, here's another one. You know, people are kind of isolated on subway cars. Did you know this? Well, they're becoming more isolated. We're.

[Josh Firestein]

It's the opposite.

[Steven Crowder]

We're sort of, we're courting off society for different groups now. Remember when we thought, hey, it was great to do away with segregation? Well, now we're not, on account of all the raping. So there's been a petition for women only subway cars in Berlin, Germany. And you can see where in 2025 you can't do a female only space that goes anything other than immediately sideways.

[Unknown]

I take the Train every day and most days. It's a safe and reliable way to get to work. But like many other women, I have been sexually harassed in public transit.

[Steven Crowder]

You don't say that.

[Unknown]

Women only train cars are the solution. That's why over 15,000 people have signed a petition demanding Flinter only compartments here in Berlin.

[Steven Crowder]

Explain for us Flinta. Okay, it's hit the dings here, Billy. It's female, lesbian, intersex, non binary, trans and agender. So pretty much just like the old subway cars. Let's continue.

[Josh Firestein]

Unfortunately, the one intersex person owns a car.

[Steven Crowder]

Yes, exactly.

[Josh Firestein]

The only one in Berlin.

[Steven Crowder]

I'll be in my Jetta. Duh. All right, continue.

[Unknown]

In places like Japan, India and Malaysia, pink banners or signs let passengers know it's a women only area. Who started the petitioners calling for designated compartments or purple seats for Flinter people?

[Steven Crowder]

It needs Flinter only characters. Cause a man followed me and raped me from the. Ooh. I started the petition. I don't buy it, miss. They. No, I think it will increase the security. But I don't think once he saw.

[Unknown]

Your penis, he ran away.

[Steven Crowder]

The Flinter wagon is obviously for me, just a pill for the disease in our system called sexual violence. My end game is to implement a constant culture. Yeah, so I understand the idea protecting women from sexual assault. However, in Europe and in Germany, they can't identify the problem and then they screw up the solution because the female only cars are. Are now Flinta cars. And Flinta, the official organization, put out this social post celebrating their new rape cars. They are thrilled.

[Unknown]

Oh my God.

[Steven Crowder]

Beautiful. Jeez.

[Josh Firestein]

Thank you for gathering them all for me.

[Unknown]

Yes, indeed. We put them all in one car, sir. Isn't lesbian a bit redundant though? Because that implies female. Yeah, I think they're just throwing like a bunch of.

[Steven Crowder]

They're just throwing it in because they just want to make sure they sound inclusive.

[Unknown]

No, it's got to be Flint to come up with the names.

[Steven Crowder]

Yes.

[Josh Firestein]

How long until a woman gets onto a regular car and the man goes get to the back of the truck?

[Steven Crowder]

Yes, exactly.

[Unknown]

Get Joe Flint a butt out of here.

[Steven Crowder]

Well, to solve this, you would have to go. Okay, all right, look. Seems these women don't feel very safe. Can we. Can we take inventory of who is doing all that raping? Well. Oh yeah. According to 2024, foreign nationals make up 42% of crime suspects despite only being 17% of the German population. So you would go.

[Josh Firestein]

All right, 17% is a lot too, by the way.

[Steven Crowder]

That is a. But it's Still a whole lot more of the rape suspect.

[Unknown]

42 is a lot more.

[Steven Crowder]

So might I suggest just having a separate migrant car?

[Unknown]

There you go.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah. Problem most.

[Unknown]

42% of the problem was solved.

[Josh Firestein]

And maybe it. Maybe it derails.

[Steven Crowder]

Yes, exactly.

[Josh Firestein]

Maybe it falls off the track.

[Steven Crowder]

That way, if anyone is lonely and wants to get themselves some raping, they can just go right into the migrant rapey car.

[Josh Firestein]

No deodorant allowed in that car, by the way.

[Steven Crowder]

No, absolutely not.

[Josh Firestein]

It's basically just lots of cologne.

[Steven Crowder]

Yes, it's a Drakkar Noir chamber.

[Josh Firestein]

Noir, that's right.

[Steven Crowder]

Cool.

[Unknown]

Water to the back.

[Josh Firestein]

Sponsored by them even.

[Steven Crowder]

This is just like. It's when feminism and new feminism clashes. Like, yeah, we need to protect women. Okay, we want women only cars. Right? But of course, that includes the men. Yeah, of course. We're not animals. Women, women. Look, feminists, you can. I hope you've understood this now. I hope it's very clear you can solve nothing. You can only make it worse because there are no guiding principles. And by the way, human rights have to be based in natural rights. They have to be based in natural law. And if you just say, yeah, women only, or anyone who claims to be a woman, how are you going to enforce? Flinta, how are you going to enforce the T? It's too late. You've all been raped. Let's move on. It's true.

[Unknown]

It's true, though. Yeah, well, you can't report rape by.

[Steven Crowder]

The T or you get arrested in Germany. Well, of course. Yeah, absolutely. That would be a hate crime if you report.

[Unknown]

Well, you can't stop the rape of the T, because once you're committed, that would be also a hate crime. Once you see the penis, you have to keep going.

[Steven Crowder]

Well, yeah, exactly. You're not allowed to.

[Unknown]

You don't want to be an animal.

[Steven Crowder]

No. You don't want to be trans. You don't want to be a transphobe. Right, no. Now, I do warn you, it's going to hurt.

[Josh Firestein]

Oh, I thought by T meant Turkish.

[Steven Crowder]

That that's what we call the double T. We've got two on base. Rape, rape, rape, rape, rape, rape, rape, rape, rape, rape, rape, rape. Ow. All right, that swing rapist. Swing maker, string rapist. We're children. But I hope nobody gets raped, sincerely. Probably will. So habeas corpus. You guys know what habeas corpus is? Don't worry, I'll get to. Can only be suspended, and it has been suspended in times of invasions or in times of rebellion. And right now the claim is that the Trump administration is going to suspend habeas corpus. Let me ask you this. Do you think we meet the definition right now of an invasion? Would 20 million illegal immigrants in the last. Well, throughout the last four years of that administration, and 150 to $450 billion in annual cost to the taxpayer, would that qualify? Okay, the next category is rebellion. Well, do you think it can be argued that there's some kind of rebellion against the United States when you have these rogue justices completely flagrantly disregarding federal law? So let's look at the nationwide injunctions, for example, under Donald Trump. 30 so far. Biden had a total of 14. Obama had a total of 12. George W. Bush had a total of 6. It is completely unprecedented where you have local judges, you have local representatives deciding to usurp federal law. Why? To protect their voting bases. You know, Ms. 13 are people who are here illegally. Just to give you some context, since 2000, 67% of nationwide injunctions were against Donald Trump, 92% of those issued by Democrat appointed judges. You don't know this judge. You didn't vote for this judge. And this judge has decided that they are going to implement their version of, of immigration law. Does that constitute a rebellion? At what point do we say, hey, we have to have some constitutional authority here? Your answers to those questions generally are going to determine how you feel about this portion of the program. So Stephen Miller just last week suggested that the Trump administration, they may be exploring suspending a habeas corpus.

[Unknown]

President Trump has talked about potentially suspending habeas corpus to take care of the illegal immigration problem. When could we see that happen, do you think? Well, the Constitution is clear, and that, of course, is the supreme law of the land, that the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus can be suspended in a time of invasion. So I would say that's an option we're actively looking at. Look, a lot of it depends on whether the courts do the right thing or not.

[Steven Crowder]

So here's the deal. The American people think that there's an invasion. The American people overwhelmingly support some kind of immigration reform. They overwhelmingly support securing the borders and to a surprising degree, support deportations. It's over 60%. Last time we checked, 60% of Americans support deportations. So when the American public have elected a president to do this job and you have rogue judges and rogue local representatives blocking it, okay, all right, that could be rebellion. But we certainly are already at the point where Americans have recognized what they view as an invasion. Not saying we should suspend habeas corpus. But I am saying that we have historically for less, and we'll get to that. However, the party of nuance, as they like to say, of course, immediately proceeded to melting down.

[Unknown]

Pretty stunning comment from a top White House aide, Stephen Miller, on suspending habeas corpus, which is the right of an individual to challenge the government's right to detain them.

[Steven Crowder]

It's not a. Not a privilege, like Miller is calling it there. It's a fundamental part of our justice system that has been upended and suspended in the most emergent situations. But what Stephen Miller said was ridiculous. I think Jeff Tooman used another word. But it's loony. It's loony to do that. There's no invasion. Says the lady in that haircut, that he or Trump or ICE could decide to pick up Al Sharpton, pick up Peter Welch, please. We'd just be gone.

[Unknown]

What is behind his immigration policies?

[Steven Crowder]

He believes that we are under invasion. And it's clear that he has. You know, I'm not gonna try to, I guess, explain, psychoanalyze what his.

[Unknown]

You don't have another.

[Steven Crowder]

I don't want to get inside Stephen Miller's mind, actually. Okay, we get it. By the way, the best response. And all this came from the Lincoln Project, named after Abraham Lincoln, saying, suspending habeas corpus. Let that sink in.

[Josh Firestein]

Didn't Lincoln do it?

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, we'll get to that as our very first example. But let's first go through, like, what is. For those of you who don't know, what is habeas corpus, I think.

[Josh Firestein]

Billy, didn't you get arrested for habeas corpses?

[Steven Crowder]

Oh, no, no, no, no. That was necrophilia. Well, you know what? Yeah, I think that's. That's not even.

[Josh Firestein]

I'm glad you're able to post bond.

[Steven Crowder]

Yes. There's no argument to be made of police brutality. I think what you've been doing on weekends is quite brutal, Billy.

[Unknown]

The victimist crime, though.

[Steven Crowder]

So ABS corpus. Let me think. It's basically parlay, right? You've seen that with the old pirates, like, ah, parlay. If they're gonna make you walk the plank.

[Unknown]

Right.

[Steven Crowder]

It's your legal right to challenge the validity of a detention. So it prevents the government from holding someone indefinitely without any type of cause. It's your ability to. All right, hold on a second. Let me challenge this parlay. Let's just simplify that really quickly. So now we get to. Okay, is this completely unprecedented? Has habeas corpus been suspended and why. I want to bring back up Overlay here, the one from the Lincoln project. Overlay. A Lincoln project says suspending habeas corpus. Let that sink in. And it's not funny because they're kid diddlers. It's funny because of the lack of self awareness, because this brings us to 1861 to 1865. None other than Abraham Lincoln. We don't pronounce the project part. Suspended habeas corpus during the Civil War specifically to target Confederate sympathizers. Crap. It was initially done through executive order that caused some legal issues. So Congress did pass a law granting Lincoln to suspend habeas corpus. Then we go to 1871 Grant suspended habeas corpus during the Reconstruction era to combat the KKK specifically going out and attacking black people. And Congress passed a law specifically permitting the suspension of habeas corpus at that point in time because they were dealing with random acts of violence. Then it brings us to the next instance. 42 through 46, FDR, Folk Hero of the left, he well, suspended habeas corpus technically with the internment camps for the Japanese during World War II, and that included sometimes United States citizens. So it was never actually declared unconstitutional. But it wasn't quite constitutional because the courts in Congress kind of said they're not going to be upholding that in the future. That's one where a lot of people were upset. And I believe Michelle Malkin wrote some books about that in defense of internment, I think is one of them. So there are cases that were made on both sides. Let me also read you from the Constitution. Article 1. Habeas corpus can be suspended. It says, the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus shall not be suspended unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion, the public safety may require it.

[Unknown]

Can you read the first two words again?

[Steven Crowder]

The privilege.

[Unknown]

That's all. So the idiotic morons on the media say it's not a privilege. I'm like, well, he's just kind of reading what it says.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, it does say that it's not a privilege. Well, hold on a second. The first portion of the writing describes it as the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus.

[Josh Firestein]

What did they mean by that?

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

Oh, geez.

[Steven Crowder]

Is this one that we need an interpreter? Is this the one we're gonna argue with me? There isn't even a comma. You can't pull your Second Amendment horse crap here. You can't like, ah, it's a comma. Just the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus. Okay, so who decides if there's an invasion? Well, Congress technically would, but President Trump could suspend habeas, as you've seen with other presidents, pending congressional action. And so right now, the reason they're talking about this is a 20 million large invasion costing you 150 to 450 billion dollars a year. You, the American worker, you, the American taxpayer, and you have rogue judges going out and blocking this. You have judges hiding illegal aliens in their houses. You have sanctuary cities. You have voted to deport illegal aliens. You elected a man to deport illegal aliens. There are far too many. They have come through open borders. You see it as an invasion. And then you have rogue judges and some of your representatives saying, no, no, we're going to undo all of your votes. This is federal law. It's one of the few areas where the president and the federal government has authority. Isn't it crazy how the left goes, oh, the federal Department of Education, well, that's not their authority. It's not their authority to fund your local public school. It is under their purview to secure our borders and make sure that citizens are safe from external and internal threats. That's why we have a military, that's why we have border enforcement. They flip it entirely where they consider, meaning the left, their wish list to be the federal authority all the way up to and including free Internet for everybody. A human right for some reason. When it comes to securing our national borders, though, no, no, that should be left to local circuit judges. You guys let us know where you line up.

[Unknown]

And I want to ask you a question, like, do you think this is something that the Trump administration should pursue now?

[Steven Crowder]

I think the threat is actually, I think it's a smart move to make. I don't know if they necessarily. I go back and forth.

[Unknown]

I agree on this, too.

[Steven Crowder]

You know what? I think for anyone who is an actual affiliation with Ms. 13. Yeah. Okay, great. Yeah. If there's a gray area, you know what, let's play it safe. That's kind of where I line up.

[Unknown]

Well, I think the case needs to be made. So I want Trump to get a win out of this. Right, Right now, if he goes out and suspends habeas corpus and starts locking up American citizens, people are gonna be up in arms and they will take to the streets.

[Steven Crowder]

Right.

[Unknown]

I don't think that's a good look for this. And obviously the media is more than willing to carry the water on this because they've taken the cases of legitimate people that should be deported and spun them and lied to the American public to make it look like Trump is just picking people randomly off the street. So I feel like they need some more justices coming out and saying, no, you can't do this, and obvious cases for them to even get close to this. But I think this is Stephen Miller going, well, look, it just, it just depends on what these justices, you know, actually do.

[Steven Crowder]

Right.

[Unknown]

And I think that's a fair point to make. I just hope he doesn't run too far with this because this would be, I think right now a very losing issue for something. No, I want it done. I understand the end result, meaning deportations. I want that done. But I don't think he has to go this far yet.

[Steven Crowder]

Something needs to be done here. There needs to be a little bit of some strong arm tactics when you consider what we're about to get to next. When you have local people deciding to agree, completely subvert federal law because someone refusing to deport illegal aliens in New Jersey affects you in Oklahoma. Right. Someone refusing to do it in Connecticut, in Maine, wherever it does affect you, because those people are allowed to stay. And certainly if they're doing it with the blanket policy of we are not going to deport anyone, we are going to create sanctuary cities. We'll guess what you've now, if there's one, if there's two safe havens for illegal aliens, that means there is one or two safe havens for gang members and that means they'll just go there. They can get in a car and they can go there. This needs to be something that we are all on board with nationally or we cannot solve the problem. And by the way, the best way to stay in touch before we go onto this New Jersey segment, New Jersey is download the app, download the rumble app and follow this channel right there. You get notifications when we are live and at no other time. It's not like YouTube with some silly algorithm that shows you tranny makeup tutorials. So this brings us to New Jersey in illegal immigration. The Newark mayor, possibly the worst of the mayors, possibly Ross J. Baraka, and three other New Jersey Democrats basically tried to force their way inside of an ICE facility. And of course, it resulted in their arrest. And I was watching this yesterday on cnn, there were some tells here from the left. Before we get to that, we actually have a photo of the arrest of Mayor Baraka. Yep.

[Unknown]

Saint Baraka.

[Josh Firestein]

Yeah. That guy doesn't get habeas corpus.

[Steven Crowder]

No, no, he does not. No, I think we can all agree on that one. Come on. Common purposes. Sorry. Right, Baraka. But here's the mayor one. He Needs some milk. This is going on outside of a detention facility. And of course, those on the left immediately misrepresented this. They immediately lied, and they were not held accountable from the media. The media did their best to carry their water. I was watching this yesterday, going nuts. Kind of like watching the Sunday paper.

[Unknown]

You just know. I mean, you just know what's going to come out on it.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah. That simmering rage kind of bubbled to the surface. That brings us to the latest installment of Claim Truth. All right, so this happened. They tried to get into an ICE facility. They weren't allowed to. They claimed that they had the right to inspect it. ICE said, no, you better leave. And they said, we're not gonna leave. They said, we really have to tell you to leave. And then when they said, okay, now we're going to arrest you, the mayor ran like a little bitch. That's what happened.

[Unknown]

And then didn't get very far, by the way.

[Steven Crowder]

Right. And then you see the physical assaults that took place there. Again, this is. Does ICE have the right to deport illegal aliens? The answer is yes. It doesn't matter what these representatives say in New Jersey. It doesn't matter. It's a federal issue. So let's go to the claims here. And this is just a microcosm to be clear of what is happening across the country and why we can't permit it to happen. Your vote can't be nullified by career charlatans. So representative Monica McIver said that she was completely peaceful at the facility.

[Unknown]

The DHS also says that in their words, you were body slamming an ICE officer. Is that what we're looking at? Is that what happened? Absolutely. No. I mean, I honestly do not know how to body slam anyone. There's no video that supports me. Body slamming anyone.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah. So just to be clear, I think you're misinterpreting this. Where you think they're saying that you did 360° Ababy Zangief body slam. They're simply saying that you were slamming into someone else's body, you know, committing assault and battery. Which brings us to the truth. This fat black lady definitely got physical. Here's another angle. And shove, shove, elbow, shove, boom one, boom two, boom three.

[Unknown]

It's not even being pushed.

[Steven Crowder]

It's a huge bitch. Yeah. Yeah. So without the footage, I would have said, at the very least, you were unpleasant.

[Unknown]

Yes. And you're using your body as a battering ram. That's really what.

[Steven Crowder]

Almost as though you're slamming your fat lady body into another one the bodies are slamming.

[Josh Firestein]

I would call it more of a Dodge Ram.

[Steven Crowder]

Yes. Is that got a Hemi? No. No, it doesn't.

[Josh Firestein]

Ah, it's a 1500.

[Steven Crowder]

It's a Twinkie. That's how people in New York say hello. Yes, exactly. Now, to be clear, when you watch that, some people try to say she was pushed.

[Unknown]

No.

[Steven Crowder]

Even then, she was putting her elbows out and pushing. Then she restabilizes. No one is pushing her. And starts throwing elbows.

[Unknown]

She wasn't even being pushed. Maybe the very, very first half second. But the ones where she's bumping in and pushing, like you look behind her and a guy actually has his hands on her shoulders. Yes. If anything, she's got some force going backwards.

[Steven Crowder]

Now, just keep in mind, the left gets to lie and the left gets to do all this. And don't worry, they won't be arrested without trial where their actual constitutional rights are suspended for. For being invited in a walking tour. But we'll get to that. Here's the next claim that they've tried to make. They tried to Eddie Haskellis, that all of them were. In fact, they were invited in.

[Unknown]

Were you able to get any. Any of that oversight actually done, Congresswoman McIver? I'll send that to you. Yes, we actually were. I mean, that's why I find it to be appalling that they said we were trespassing, because how are we trespassing? And then you offer us a tour at the end, which is the reason why we were there in the first place, to have a tour of this facility that had just opened up on May 1st.

[Steven Crowder]

Hmm.

[Josh Firestein]

Oh, her name's LaMonica.

[Unknown]

Monica.

[Josh Firestein]

That makes sense.

[Steven Crowder]

I just said there's an apostrophe in there somewhere. I don't care. Here's the truth they were told specifically, do not go in. You are not permitted to go in. Don't go in here, and certainly don't body slam anyone, you fat bitch.

[Unknown]

And stop yelling, World star.

[Steven Crowder]

Yes. Here's a quote from the U.S. attorney for New Jersey, Alina Haba. She wrote, the mayor of Newark, Ross Baraka, committed trespass and ignored multiple warnings from Homeland Security investigations to remove himself from the ICE detention center in Newark, New Jersey, this afternoon. He has willingly chosen to disregard the law that will not stand in the state. He has been taken into custody. No one is above the law. Now, here's for those of you who are confused. What you're seeing these people do is called lying, or saying we were invited in and we didn't hit nobody. You Were told not to go in multiple times, and then you hit people. All right, this is clear as day now. Let's contrast that with. She said we were invited in for a tour. Do you mean like. Do you mean like on January 6, where there were protesters who were let into public property, told that they could tour public property, told the rest of the protesters to act peacefully, and then were arrested without trial for, in some cases, years. There they are opening the door.

[Unknown]

And.

[Steven Crowder]

Look at them randomly.

[Josh Firestein]

Yes, terrified.

[Steven Crowder]

Here's video of Chansley in the Senate chamber. Capitol Police officers take him to multiple entrances and even try to open locked doors for him. We counted at least nine officers who were within touching distance of unarmed Jacob Chansley. Not one of them even tried to slow him down. Everybody, this must be peaceful. This has to be peaceful. We have the right to peacefully assemble.

[Unknown]

Guys.

[Steven Crowder]

Remember that. Remember when all the conservatives tucked tail and ran and we said there were some people who were disruptive, but a lot of people were invited in and were clear about being peaceful. And they were. 95% of the people from January 6th, they were charged with trespassing, including those people who were welcomed in. So the people who actually were welcomed in, in some cases wanded down, they were arrested and treated as felons. I hope they get at least that in New Jersey, these representatives, because they actually committed felonies. Are you guys seeing the difference? The left lied about many of the People on January 6th. Not all, but certainly the people you just saw. The left lied about them, got them charged with felonies. They will lie about their own behavior to avoid being charged with felonies, and then ask you to find common ground. Let's just be clear about that. Let's. Let's go on to the next claim that was made from these people in New Jersey. All references available link in the description that they were actually. They were just conducting an inspection. It was their job.

[Unknown]

As Congresswoman Bonnie Watson Coleman said, we were simply there to do our job, therefore oversight visit. It was a very tense situation. It unfortunately did not have to be like that. They created that confrontation. They created that chaos. And then also went to arrest the mayor of the largest city of New Jersey, who is my mayor and my constituent.

[Steven Crowder]

Oh, come on. That's nothing to brag about. Truth, of course. They weren't conducting an inspection. They weren't invited to conduct an inspection. They were told to leave. They went there to try and block ICE from enforcing federal law. They completely disobeyed what should be a national issue, DHS rules. They Got physical. When they were finally challenged, one of them ran away like a little bitch. When they said, hey, if you don't stop, if you do not stop, we are going to arrest you. They said, all right, time to arrest you. He went by, and there was this little. Like, there was a little dust cloud of where the mayor of Newark used to be.

[Unknown]

Kool Aid runs through a wall.

[Steven Crowder]

So he was arrested for trespassing, and unlike the January Sixers, he was released five hours later.

[Unknown]

Oh, come on.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah. She should be charged with a felony. She should be charged with a felony. I hope we see at least that. But you won't. No, you won't see it, because the left. There's a double standard here. Can you imagine? Can you imagine a single January 6th on camera like that when you had their name, identification, knew exactly who they were? And they did that with a Capitol officer, they're guaranteed doing at least a year and will forever have a felony record. Yes. This broad, ah, she'll get a slap on the wrist.

[Unknown]

It's like. So they were charged with trespassing on January 6th. It almost seems like it was something other than an insurrection. And this, by Destiny's Half Brain, definition of what an insurrection is actually fits almost the definition of an insurrection. Right? They were trying to prohibit the government from doing this. Violence broke out. They gathered there to be able to do that. I think it fits at least three of the four factors for. It doesn't make any sense. You can't just go there and say, I don't like this. And then when they're like, hey, guys, you're actually trespassing. You gotta leave. No, no, no, no. We don't like this. Okay, guys, if you don't leave and then start barging in when they finally go, okay, I guess we have to arrest somebody now.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, Like. Well, let me be clear as to the playbook, okay? Here's what they'll do, is there's a. There's law, right? And the law has been, by the way, these aren't even new laws that you're to be deported if you're in this country illegally, that you're not to enter this country illegally. They just haven't been enforcing it. The left, by design. Okay? So then the left will say, all right, we're gonna do. We're gonna show up and we're going to obstruct the law. We are going to obstruct the will of the people. When the law is enforced as it is meant to be enforced, they will then claim they will then claim fascism. They will then claim that they are being strong armed, they show up to commit a crime, to block the practice of the law that you voted for, and then claim fascism. When the law of the land is enforced, that is not fascism. Fascism would be creating a new law so that these people could be sent to, to the Gulags. And by the way, all this is happening and you have to ask yourself why? Why do they go to the mat for abrego Garcia, an MS.13 gang member? Why are they obstructing ice from deporting people? Why are they creating sanctuary cities and not allowing those tasked with a job to deport violent felons? Why are they protecting, by the way, illegal aliens in our prisons? Why is this their cause? Why are they willing to die on this hill? Here's a Freudian slip for you, Representative Subrahman. I think Subramaniam, I don't know, you guys are gonna see who he is. This jackass here said that he would go to jail up against Trump and he said he would go to jail for his. And I want you to hear his word.

[Unknown]

I couldn't help notice too that they also mentioned dhs, mentioned they're gonna go after members of Congress as well. And you know, I just look at this and I say, you know, as a member of Congress, if I'm going to be put behind bars for trying to stand up for the constitutional rights of my constituents, for standing up for civil liberties, like bring it on. Because this is ridiculous what they're doing.

[Steven Crowder]

We shudder with her. Bring it on. Yeah, come on. Bring it on. I'm going to stand for. Here's the thing he said, though, I.

[Josh Firestein]

Say it's on to the break of dawn.

[Steven Crowder]

It's on like Donkey Kong. Your constituents.

[Unknown]

Ah.

[Steven Crowder]

Hold on a second. Constituents are supposed to be the voters of your district. Any illegal aliens who are voting for you are your constituents. Does it include Ms. 13 members? Does it include people who have no right being here? Because here's the thing, you have to make a choice. Your constituents are either the American people, taxpaying American citizens, or. Or the people you're protecting right now, the people you are willing to go to jail to protect. That's no small thing. He views these people being deported as his constituents. I'm telling you what this is. They are trying to protect the votes they bought. They are trying to protect the new voting bloc that they believe they bought in the Biden administration. The Biden administration thought that they could purchase new votes, open up borders and Then give them a path to citizenship. Hey, 20 million. Let's call it 10 million. You know that in many of these districts they are determined by hundreds of votes. States are determined by thousands of votes. If all of a sudden you turn those illegal aliens into constituents, voters, guess what? Democrats may never lose again. But then they'll call you a fascist if you say no. No, that can't happen on our watch. You can't simply cancel out our vote by bringing in non contributing criminals and considering them constituents. They don't view you as their primary constituents. I am willing to go to jail for the constitutional rights of my constituents. Illegal aliens do not have constitutional rights because they are not citizens here either the American worker, the American taxpayer is your constituent as a representative or illegal aliens. You have to pick one. It is a binary choice. Comment below. If that caused you to flip your lid as much as I did when I was watching, I'm going oh, oh, constituent. Whoa. He's basically saying these people are. Does anyone else see this?

[Unknown]

Can we suspend habeas corpus on a state by state basis or is this a blanket thing?

[Steven Crowder]

I would like to see it for that guy level.

[Unknown]

I don't even know. Like there seems to be some places where it might be appropriate.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, in this case, I mean at least a little duct tape.

[Unknown]

You've changed my mind. Internment camps coming right your way, sir.

[Steven Crowder]

Yes. So let's go on to this next story. This is. There's been so much happening this weekend it's almost tough to hit all of it. So this weekend and all the way until or through this morning, Donald Trump and China have reached a trade deal after some meetings in I believe was Geneva, Switzerland. A lot of questions as to what this deal is and of course which side won. And you don't need to ask yourself, of course the left is trying to say that China won because they hate America. They're saying China won. Donald Trump blinked just like they said Canada won. Donald Trump blinked. It doesn't matter what it is. They want Team Not America to win. So that is how they will present it to you instead. There's a little bit more to it. Monday, today. Was it today morning or was it yesterday morning? Today it was today.

[Unknown]

Today morning.

[Steven Crowder]

Treasury and most boring speaker ever. But we have to show you the clip. Scott Bessant, he's good at his job but he's boring. Yes, he made the announcement and outlined the deal somewhat.

[H]

And what we have is a 90 day pause on the reciprocal tariffs. Both sides DE escalated by 115%. So we are both at 10 on the reciprocal tariffs, the fentanyl related tariffs which President Trump put on in February, still on.

[Steven Crowder]

And don't worry, we're going to Trump's version.

[H]

We have a mechanism to meet with the Chinese trade delegation again. We will be discussing pronounced Chinese tariffs, non tariff trade barriers, currency, and there's subsidies of labor.

[Steven Crowder]

All right, that's enough. Just kind of just cut it. Because as we were preparing for today's show, President Trump had a press conference and I hope this clip includes it. He was. No, that's the pharmaceutical thing. The next pharmaceutical where he took time out of his day to make fun of his friend for being fast.

[Unknown]

He did on national television in the process, somehow.

[Steven Crowder]

But here is President Trump detailing this morning the China arrangement in a press conference.

[Unknown]

I want to tell you that a couple of things. First of all, that doesn't include the tariffs that are already on, that are our tariffs. And it doesn't include tariffs on cars, steel, aluminum, things such as that, or tariffs that may be imposed on pharmaceuticals because we want to bring the pharmaceutical businesses back, that's huge to the United States. And they're already starting to come back now based on tariffs. The talks in Geneva were very friendly. The relationship is very good. We're not looking to hurt China. China was being hurt very badly. They were closing up factories. They were having a lot of unrest and they were very happy to be able to do something with us. And the relationship is very, very good. I'll speak to President Xi maybe at the end of the week.

[Steven Crowder]

So let's go to three key facts you kind of need to know about this here and you can check out the references link in the description. Number one, where the tariffs stand now. So because of some tariffs that already predate this administration. Right. Trump 2.0. And some of them came from Donald Trump's first administration. And the tariffs were some of the only policies that Biden kept. He tried to do it quietly.

[Unknown]

Quietly, yes.

[Steven Crowder]

So the U.S. tariffs on Chinese goods right now are about 40 to 50%. So they've been lowered back to those sort of pre standing rates. The Chinese tariffs on goods coming from the United states are about 25%. So effectively, tariff levels are back to what they were pre Liberation Day with this new announcement. Josh, can you wake up? We're live. We're live. Whoa.

[Josh Firestein]

Oh, sorry. Having trouble sleeping?

[Steven Crowder]

Well, just.

[Unknown]

What?

[Steven Crowder]

Are you all right?

[Josh Firestein]

Yeah, yeah, I just been having trouble sleeping lately.

[Steven Crowder]

So why don't you go see the nurse? Go see the nurse now. He'll get you fixed up? It's better than being in your phone. Yeah.

[Josh Firestein]

Okay.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah.

[Josh Firestein]

I'm gonna go see the nurse.

[Unknown]

Good, good.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah.

[Josh Firestein]

Thank God we got a nice.

[Unknown]

Come aboard ye hearty.

[Josh Firestein]

Hey, I'm looking for the nurse's office. Am I in the right place?

[Unknown]

Hey, you've come to the right place. Why don't you sit down and tell me what ails you?

[Josh Firestein]

Well, I'm having trouble sleeping and I think it's starting to affect my work.

[Unknown]

ARR, so your wife be maroon and I got my. What?

[Josh Firestein]

No.

[Unknown]

Oh, you're having trouble lifting ye sailing?

[Josh Firestein]

No, my sails work just fine. I've just.

[Unknown]

But you can't stomach the thought of entering old Davey's locker.

[Josh Firestein]

No, I can't get any shut eye is all.

[Unknown]

Har. So you're unable to take a cock? Excuse me, that's pirate for take a nap.

[Josh Firestein]

Oh yeah, that's the problem. Oh, that be the problem.

[Unknown]

All right, me boy.

[Steven Crowder]

Well.

[Unknown]

Come on up, let me do you a test. And don't be scared, we'll fix you right up. Give me a ear.

[Josh Firestein]

An ear.

[Unknown]

Look, young man, there's no need to be scared. I've taken the pirate doctor's oath.

[Josh Firestein]

What's that?

[Unknown]

First do no harm.

[Josh Firestein]

What's next?

[Unknown]

The air, my boy.

All right.

ARR. Now the eye. Ah, that's just as I'd feared. You've got a horrible case of the old sailor's eye.

[Josh Firestein]

Sailor's eye? Is that even a real thing?

[Unknown]

Hey, of course sailor's eye is a real thing. It's as real as you and me sitting here. And we speak of it in hushed tones lest the spirits overhear. There's only one cure that we know of for old sailors eye. You need to court the most beautiful siren on the eastern seaboard and have her sing her sweet melody. And legend says if it's pure and true love song, you'll be clear of the sailor's eye.

[Josh Firestein]

Yeah, I was thinking more of like a land based modern medicine type of treatment. Like. I don't know, what's that?

[Unknown]

That's melan 10. I think it's from the Aryan.

[Josh Firestein]

I don't think you're supposed to say that anymore.

[Unknown]

Well, wherever the sons live.

[Josh Firestein]

Nope, that's totally inappropriate.

[Unknown]

Well, says it'll help with your sleep, but I doubt it'll help any with ye sailors.

[Josh Firestein]

Ay, I think I'll take my chances.

[Steven Crowder]

Thanks.

[Unknown]

Alright, up next is Stephanie. Time to check your hoo. Ha.

[Steven Crowder]

Well, I'm glad you got fixed up, Josh.

[Josh Firestein]

Yeah, yeah, well, should be Good. Yeah, should be good tomorrow.

[Unknown]

Sorry.

[Steven Crowder]

Good for you.

[Josh Firestein]

Sorry about that. I'll try to keep it, you know.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

Pull together.

[Steven Crowder]

Okay, back to the tariffs. Key fact number two. Well, who are the winners and the losers? Well, if you hear China tell you, the state media outlet, you, you on tantian. I don't know how to pronounce it. I don't care. I don't care. Because I don't like the Chinese.

[Josh Firestein]

I think I nailed it.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, there you go. They sound like Wolf Blitzer.

[Unknown]

That's not a compliment.

[Steven Crowder]

They touted this. He's the longest standing CNN host, 35 years of retard. So he said that the deal was a win for China, writing China's firm countermeasures and resolute stance have been highly effective. Okay.

[Unknown]

Said it just like that.

[Steven Crowder]

And by highly effective, what they mean is that China got what every single other country got with no concessions. Basically, the other countries didn't have to have the same concessions. So they were able to sort of save face these other nations, because they didn't retaliate. Right. We talked about how Vietnam kind of came to the table. We talked about these other nations, and China decided to be indignant about it. And so China considers a win to basically be on the same playing field as everyone else. This is actually, I think Gerald brought this up. Huntsman is a logistics expert on X and he wrote this take. He said, overall, a win for the United States, maintaining a lot of optionality on future actions and still holding a strong floor at 30% minimum tariffs. Note also today how many people who said tariffs would be an apocalypse over the past 100 days will now claim that 30% is pretty much fine. So this Overton window has been shifted. And again, this started with the first Trump administration. It's one of the few policies that Biden kept, and I think he kept it because it was so popular with a lot of working class Americans. And that's why Donald Trump won the Rust Belt. Yeah.

[Unknown]

And it was absolutely necessary because Biden was in the camp of we just bring them into Western order and they'll start playing by Western rules. He's been doing that for his entire life. I think he soured on that just a little bit. And I think he understood, like, these guys are not just going to come play by our rules. So here's the thing. This could go one of two ways with Trump. Yes, there are higher tariffs than a lot of people thought would be okay. So he did go higher and shift the Overton window, like this Guy said. The 90 day thing is really what will tell us if this is a win or not. Hopefully this is enough pressure and we didn't cave. Doesn't seem like we've caved right now, but we're still not 100% sure.

[Steven Crowder]

Right.

[Unknown]

So we'll see. Well, this pretty like where we are, but we'll see.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, exactly. This is where we are right now. And that brings us to key fact number three. What are things going to look like, let's say 90 days from now? So during the conference in Geneva, I believe it was Besant who said that the United States didn't want to decouple, which I don't necessarily know that I agree with. I think we kind of do want to decouple from China. We certainly need to reduce our reliance on China. We saw during COVID what a problem that was. But they are saying that the stance of this administration is they need to bring us our relationship with China to a state of balanced trade.

[H]

At least neither side wants a decoupling and what had occurred with these very high terrorists.

[Steven Crowder]

Get him a Red Bull said was.

[H]

The equivalent of an embargo. And neither side wants that. We do want trade. We want more balanced trade. And I think that both sides are committed to achieving that.

[Steven Crowder]

Now here's where I don't agree. Both sides are not committed to achieving that. And I don't necessarily think that's possible. You just made the point. Well, some, it sort of comes from the libertarian mindset too of ah, you know what, they'll want to come into the modern world. They'll want to start playing ball with us because China's going to want to have the kind of life quality that we do in the United States. First off, doesn't take into account communist Chinese government who won't allow that to happen. Second, there really can't be any type of balanced trade when the consumers in China, they're not really consumers. No, they don't spend, they save. Right. So they make and we consume, but they don't consume our products. To be clear, their savings rate, yeah, it's the highest, highest in the world in China. And this is kind of where we are the disadvantage. Like let me give you an example. The Chinese toy makers, cheap crap, right? They have a lot of specialty items now and they do cars and some chips. But the truth is their lifeblood goes away if Americans stop buying cheap crap. That is what is necessary for China's economy to exist. You know, novelty trinkets, effectively. They make it, it's consumed here in The United States. American companies make usually higher quality goods or more specialized goods and those aren't really available for them to purchase in China. China's exports as a percent of their GDP about two times more than the United States. Our relationship is not even remotely comparable. And I don't know that that is going to be fixed because China won their people to basically enter into the consumer market. That's a scary thing. If enough Chinese citizens have the consumer power of that degree of wealth, they're going to clamp down on it. It's a communist Chinese government. So I disagree with this premise, this idea that we're going to get to balanced trade. I don't think that is going to happen as long as it's a communist nation.

[Unknown]

Well, and what I hope that Besant, who I really need to see some complex physical movement to believe he's not a robot. I need some kind of proof of.

[Steven Crowder]

Yes.

[Unknown]

Chuck E. Cheese performer, athletic endeavor of some sort.

[Steven Crowder]

No, but I think he's XD1.

[Unknown]

I hope what he means by balanced trade is not just like, you know, balancing the dollars on each side. I hope it's saying like, hey, IP laws are actually going to be enforced in China. I hope he's actually going to say that if, if we can have a Chinese company sue somebody in the United States, then we can also have that reciprocal ability in China. I hope he's going to say that it doesn't have to have just a Chinese person on the board of the company or part owner of the company to be able to open. I hope those kinds of things are being removed in this process and maybe then we can get to a more balanced trade approach. It doesn't mean equal, it just means it's much more fair and open. But there's a really good point. They don't want our companies having unfettered access to their markets just like they won't have TikTok in their market. It exposes their citizens to American culture completely unfettered. And they do not want that. They want to control the narrative.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, no, you're absolutely right. Well, they don't want a lot of social media because.

[Unknown]

Or turkey cheese.

[Steven Crowder]

Those starving Chinese men will see a couple of corn fed American women are Latinas in Florida and go like, oh damn, we're going to Nebraska, Miami. You say, so I'm gonna do the rest of the show like this, like an animatronic.

[Unknown]

Do it.

[Steven Crowder]

Scott Bessett way story number two.

[Josh Firestein]

You, you're reminding me of Tim Allen in the Santa Claus too.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, two or three. Three is a bad one.

[Josh Firestein]

None of them are good.

[Steven Crowder]

None of them are good.

[Josh Firestein]

The first one is good.

[Steven Crowder]

But I particularly like when he goes. So we're gonna continue. So we have Ukraine as another story that's come up. We also have drug prices. A lot of things happen this weekend. We are going to continue talking about all that, by the way, but if you are not a Rumble Premium member, none of this happens with that. You click that button right there, join, you get to continue with us for 100% more show. If not, then you get to just continue watching for free. Tim Pool is live on the lineup next. But Rumble Premium is your best one stop shop. Mug Club is Rumble Premium. Rumble Premium is now Mug Club. You get it ad free. You get all these additional shows and more content is being added every day. Next story that had taken place during the weekend. We have to get to so much. Ukraine agreed to a 30 day ceasefire and then Russia responded and basically said like, the summary is, I had my fingers crossed, ladies.

[Unknown]

I didn't say run the clip, you son of a. So before I get to that, you can see that President Trump is getting increasingly frustrated with Vladimir Putin. Remember the left saying that he was a stooge. You can see that Donald Trump thought he would get to the table a little bit faster. We're not seeing that right now, but the first half of this is European leaders in now people say Kyiv.

[Unknown]

It was always Kiev, Kyiv, whatever.

[Steven Crowder]

They called for a 30 day ceasefire and are willing to talk with Russia.

[Unknown]

Leaders of Britain, France, Germany and Poland have agreed on Saturday to an unconditional 30 day ceasefire from 12 May with the backing of US President Donald Trump.

[Steven Crowder]

She is a sailor.

[Unknown]

They also threatened Putin with new massive sanctions if he gets stroke.

Guys.

The announcement was made by the leaders of Britain, France, Germany, Poland and Ukraine after a meeting in Kiev during which they held a phone call with Mr. Trump.

[Steven Crowder]

So President Trump, President Trump, they just.

[Unknown]

Stupid lady.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, she is a dumb lady foreigner. She's got a very flat face like the good dinner plates you bring out for Thanksgiving.

[Unknown]

So, Scott Besant, look. Russia animated.

[Steven Crowder]

Russia pretty much immediately rejected the offer. President Dmitry Medev. Sorry, former president. Well, remember, they swapped for a bit. They did President Putin. Then he's like, I'll be Prime Minister, you'll be president for a little bit.

[Unknown]

Then we'll switch back, we'll change the rules.

[Steven Crowder]

It's like musical president chairs at big table.

[Unknown]

Then I never leave.

[Steven Crowder]

So Medvedev wrote this on X. He wrote either a Truce for the respite of Benderite hordes or new sanctions. You think that's smart? A shove these peace plans up your pan gender arses, which I know it's wrong. It makes me like a more a little bit. It does make me like him more. I'm not a fan, but I like this side of him. Putin did, however, make the proposal to have direct talks with Zelensky. But now in Turkey, a message in the middle of the night at 2am from Russian President Vladimir Putin, proposing direct peace talks with Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky later this week. I want to ask the president of Turkey, Mr. Erdogan, to provide an opportunity to hold negotiations. He said, I hope he will confirm his desire to contribute to the search for peace in Ukraine. Zelensky has accepted without preconditions, at the US President's urging.

[Unknown]

There we go. But here's my question. Why at 2am Did Putin have to make that announcement? That seems kind of odd to me.

[Josh Firestein]

2Am their time.

[Unknown]

That's what I'm trying to figure out.

[Josh Firestein]

It's a classic booty call.

[Steven Crowder]

Yes. Yes.

[Josh Firestein]

It's a booty call for Volodymyr Zelensky.

[Steven Crowder]

New phone. Who this?

[Unknown]

Who this?

[Steven Crowder]

Hello?

[Unknown]

You up?

[Steven Crowder]

What are you wearing?

[Unknown]

They sent him a video and said you will agree to negotiations. Okay, fine. I'm getting out of bed.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah.

[Josh Firestein]

Who's sponsoring these negotiations? The ufc?

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah.

[Josh Firestein]

Come to Turkey. We will settle this like men.

[Steven Crowder]

That's right.

[Unknown]

Gay.

[Steven Crowder]

Let me. So, Donald Trump. You can see President Trump is getting increasingly frustrated with Putin. And I think if Putin doesn't start playing ball here, if you want a surefire way to piss off Donald Trump and lose him as an ally, it's have him go to bat for you and then hurt his pride. Have him say, you know what, we need to have these peace talks. And it seems like Putin is willing to come to the table. And I believe that, too, at one point in time, because they did say they were willing to come to the table, and Zelensky at one point was not. Now Trump sees that this is not exactly the case, and he's been posting on truth. He said Ukraine should agree to this deal immediately. At least they will be able to determine whether or not a deal is possible. And if it is not, European leaders in the US will know where everything stands and can proceed accordingly. Putin looking at you, looking at you and your giant, stupid table.

[Unknown]

I've got a bigger one, by the way.

[Steven Crowder]

I'm starting to doubt that Ukraine will make a deal with Putin. Who's too busy celebrating the victory of World War II, which could not have been one, not even close, without the United States of America. Have the meeting now, you son of a bitch.

[Unknown]

I love how he throws that in.

[Steven Crowder]

He's too busy selling, too busy celebrating. Even though they did almost nothing.

[Unknown]

You won.

[Steven Crowder]

But I can't tell by your cities, they still look like crap.

[Unknown]

He was too busy having Steven Seagal come to that parade. Steven Seagal, by the way, is expanding his borders as.

[Steven Crowder]

Yes, yes, he very much is.

[Unknown]

He's a pretty big guy now.

[Steven Crowder]

But you may not know about all this because the real story was Macron, I think, maybe doing. People thought he was doing cocaine. Is that the clip that we have?

[Unknown]

Yes.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, it was a tissue paper, but it's fun. We came through Germany and then we made it to France.

[Unknown]

Bedroom.

[Steven Crowder]

And we garbage through the port.

[Unknown]

Of a drink.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah. This is why the Internet is such a stupid place. That was all over social this week, and people going, mccrone is doing cocaine. Like, hold on a second. Isn't the most likely explanation that what looks to be a tissue is clearly a tissue?

[Unknown]

Yes.

[Steven Crowder]

That would be like a huge amount of cocaine to just leave on a desk.

[Josh Firestein]

If they were doing cocaine, this deal would have happened way sooner.

[Unknown]

Yes, it would have.

[Steven Crowder]

And it would make no sense.

[Unknown]

And somebody would.

[Josh Firestein]

Yeah, and you're gonna cease fire, and you're gonna cease fire, and then both of you gonna give me a tiger.

[Unknown]

Yeah. Yes.

[Steven Crowder]

Hey, you know what we should do? We should call Pakistan.

[Unknown]

I know, but listen, the people out there and listen, some very smart people said some very stupid things about this. I'm sorry. You know exactly who you are. Please stop doing it. It hurts our cars every single time you say stuff like this. Do you really think that he hid that little thing when the reporters and cameras were in the room the whole time and he was like, oh, I forgot my coke. No, didn't happen. I don't understand the idiocy. It's obviously a tissue. Shut up.

[Steven Crowder]

Yes. Speaking of idiocy, this brings us to the other story that we just. We had to cover because it happened this weekend, India and Pakistan. So hold on a second. This is. It's the culmination of bad militaries, miscommunication, and low iq because a lot of you. And we honestly don't fully know the real story right now because no one is singing the same song. The story was presented as President Trump brokered a peace deal between India and Pakistan, that there was some kind of a ceasefire. But we don't know, let's. Let's get into it.

[Unknown]

Little did it about India and Pakistan, two countries duking it out to win most up land. India's one great big toilet hottest balls.

[Josh Firestein]

Pakistan statistics on rape are astronomical.

[Steven Crowder]

All of that can even be fact checked. So on Saturday, President Trump announced on truth that the US had helped achieve a ceasefire between India and Pakistan, for which Pakistan thanked President Trump. Oh, that's nice. And then India immediately said, no, that didn't happen. Oh, come on, that's not true. So they got. And allegedly it's because they got pissed that Trump upstaged Modi. Like, I don't. Okay, all right. So where are we?

[Unknown]

This is the problem that says you're welcome.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah. We were really concerned because this would be the first sort of war where you could have a nuclear power at play. And that was what everyone going at each other. Yeah. Well, even really one in this instance in the modern world with the kind of capabilities. But certainly two nations.

[Unknown]

Yes.

[Steven Crowder]

And that's what we were concerned about. I think what we didn't take into account is that this is the first war with nuclear powers that would play out on social media. We're like, we thought, oh, no, it's going to be Skynet falling and there's gonna be a skull on a fence shaking, watching the playground. We didn't really take into account that a ceasefire would be announced and one person would be like, no, what do we do here? What's the next action? So this is obviously, the waters have been muddied because there's been so much propaganda. The government of Pakistan even shared video game footage claiming that it was real battle footage. And here's the worst part is I don't know if it's propaganda or if it's a mistake because it's such a crappy country filled with dumb people.

[Unknown]

Conventional warfare, Pakistan superiority.

[Josh Firestein]

Oh, my God.

[Unknown]

Civilians.

[Steven Crowder]

And then India responded by posting their war footage, which was just Mario 2. What are you throwing turnips? So the main takeaway here though, and I get it to the Japanese view right now, is Doki, Doki panic. You're confused because it was too difficult for American gamers to lost levels. Point is something here, though, that is interesting is this is the first time that China has actually had an opportunity to sort of see their weapons being used for the first time because 81% of the weapons, the arms that Pakistan imports have come from China. So they're watching this, right, Concerned if they get into a global conflict, okay, how effective are our weapons? And I Believe also even one of China's J10C, one of their fighters there actually got a confirmed kill of a French made fighter, which they're really thrilled about. Not to mention watching their Uyghur trebuchets at work. They're very. Yeah, they'll never see it coming.

[Unknown]

It's all starting to make sense now.

[Steven Crowder]

Yes, those are diseased people. Yes, it is. It's a very. So. So I don't know that we officially know right now what is happening. I hope they've stopped fighting.

[Unknown]

I don't know though, if they have.

[Steven Crowder]

Can someone from Pakistan or India just comment below? Are you guys still at war?

[Unknown]

Can you let us know?

[Steven Crowder]

Guys, let us. Let us know and make sure it's not video game footage.

[Unknown]

I hate that. I understood like every tenth word of that civilian.

[Steven Crowder]

You guys at one point, like, I know you guys all complain about like colonization. Yeah, I feel like we should just colonize these countries. They should just become the United States. Like you don't get to have a military anymore on account that you keep sharing Call of Duty. Like it's real.

[Josh Firestein]

Great Britain did. And then they were like, nah, we gotta bounce. And while we're at it, you guys need to be separated.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah.

[Josh Firestein]

Like this already happened. I don't know, maybe we should just, you know, take their word for it.

[Unknown]

Neither side can stop having dysentery long enough to actually get in a fight. IBS.

[Steven Crowder]

Posting that from his. From his imovie maker on his phone. Like they'll never know. Is there enough biohazard suits to take over that area? It's just so all that happened, we don't really know. But here's another story. And again, you can continue watching with us here on Rumble Premium. This is a big one. Drug prices, drug makers. President Trump signing an executive order, but then discussing it. We were live this morning. We were going through, run through, and he gave a press conference in what may be the funniest press conference I think I've ever heard. And he has a friend who no doubt was very surprised to hear the commentary.

[Unknown]

So for the first time in many years, we'll slash the cost of prescription drugs. And we will bring fairness to America. Drug prices will come down. So for the first time in many years, we'll slash the cost.
