Welcome to the lineup live on rumble, 9am Eastern to 7pm Eastern. You don't need to change that channel. Every show just streams right into the next one. So you can be. You can be on top of the news. And it's funny how news went from absolute insanity to kind of a standstill, but that's because of wins. When the media is silent, it's because, you know, stuff's going pretty well. So yesterday, NATO, we were covering it live, but turns out we're gonna make them pay their fair share and they're gonna do it. They're gonna buy some of what they need for their military from us. And they called him Daddy. President Trump. Daddy. Like, this is a good thing. Today is a fun day. We're gonna go through the winds because just like I need to hold the left accountable, we also need to remind ourselves of what the predictions were, what this sort of catastrophic speculation those predictions were, and what is actually coming to fruition. If you are pro America, if you're maga, if you want to see this country flourish, we're on the right track in a lot of ways. There's obviously room for improvement, but it's going to be a good palate cleanse show. Also, Pinocchio says the N word and Iron man is now lame and gay. We're going to talk about that because Disney just cannot stop slamming their pecker in a door jam. They just can't. There's nothing else they can do. They just keep doing everything wrong. Oh, and of course, welcome Bongino army. Coming in from Vince, which comes from Vincente in Latin. All the Romance languages are based in Latin, which translates to roughly. No, no, no. I said you would get a Turboman eventually. On with it.

Why deal with coffee shop creeps when you can enjoy 1775 coffee from the comfort of your own home? Go to 1775 Coffee.com CrowderToday and get your 1775 Coffee starter kit worth $200 for only 99 buc. That's what I know.
Steven Crowder
Glad to be with you. Today is definitely one of those. Oh, I gotta turn up my headphones here a little bit. Speakers off, right?
Josh Firestein
There's no snare in those things.
Steven Crowder
There's any more snare. More. Was that which Eminem?
Josh Firestein
I don't know.
Steven Crowder
I don't know which Eminem song. Toolman, we wish you the best. He's not here. He's. He's going through some stuff right now. And so please, in the comments, show him you love him. We do have Applejack in His place, who will hopefully be better today. So not holding my breath.
Josh Firestein
He might speak.
Steven Crowder
It's an abusive work environment, but a little bit. It's a fun show today. It really is. There are a lot of wins. There's a lot to celebrate. You know, the perfect is the enemy of the good. You've heard, and there's a lot of good going on. So let's consider this a bit of a palate cleanse, but also some fact checking. The media, because they root against America, they don't want it to be good. So my other question for you is, what is what do you think? Or what would you consider President Trump's biggest win, biggest moment to be this week? Yeah. Comment there. And it's a live show, weekdays, 11am Eastern. Captain Morgan, how are you doing?
Applejack
Well, how are you?
Steven Crowder
Good. And Josh Firestein. See, I don't. I decide not to continue because he's one of those guys. He just doesn't stop the conversation.
Josh Firestein
Really?
Steven Crowder
Yeah, it keeps going.
Josh Firestein
He's going.
Steven Crowder
Monday, July 7th, funny bun comedy club in Tampa, Florida. You will be.
Josh Firestein
That's right.
Steven Crowder
Josh Firestein.
Josh Firestein
That's right. Oh, And Tuesday the 8th, I'm in Orlando. I forgot to change the thing.
Steven Crowder
Oh, Tuesday the 8th in Orlando.
Josh Firestein
Yeah.
Steven Crowder
Okay. Tampa.
Josh Firestein
Yeah. They moved that show. It's unfortunate, but, yeah, I hope to see you guys in Florida.
Steven Crowder
We'll.
Josh Firestein
I'll do a show with my shirt off.
Applejack
There you go. You will.
Josh Firestein
No, I won't do that.
Steven Crowder
Yes, he will.
Josh Firestein
I might.
Steven Crowder
It's in his writer no shirt. Josh, they call him like a worse Bert Kreischer. Let's.
Josh Firestein
Like shorter, fatter.
Steven Crowder
No, no, no, no. So former Congressman Jamal Bowman. I know you're thinking Polish. If you're unfamiliar with him, he. Now, I just want to be clear. Some of you are going to accuse us in this program today of being racist. There's nothing new there. I want to be clear. When we're criticizing someone like Jamaal Bum, if at any point you people appears or a generalization. We're not talking about all black people. We are talking specifically about the black men who believe the kind of crap that you are about to hear. The professional fire alarm puller discuss victim for every responsible for nothing victim on all fronts. Jamaal Bowman wants you to know the root cause as to. It's gonna be hard for me to get through this today. It is as to why blacks suffer statistically from all kinds of ailments, diseases like increased diabetes and heart disease. Your colleagues in the Republican Party do not hold each other accountable when it comes to the racism that comes from the party on a consistent bas. I mean, where are you about this? I'm a black man in America. The reason why heart doesn't. I'm white. I can't comment. Listen to what I'm saying. The reason why heart disease and cancer and obesity, diabetes, are bigger in the black community is because of the stress we carry from having to deal with being called the N word directly or indirectly every day. If you're indirectly listen and try to learn and engage and grow and stop being so hateful. We could have a better country. But unfortunately, we're still here. Jamal. Yeah. Fact check. When we invented that word, you. You were all quite a bit slimmer.
Applejack
And a little more in shape.
Steven Crowder
By the way, he watched a Tarantino film, had to amputate a leg. So Tupac, to be clear, he does kind of have a point on some of this. Debbie's got a secret that's right for people on audio. That's worth the watch. Go back.
Josh Firestein
I like how he says, directly or indirectly, because there's. There's this. This section of people that think anything can be indirectly calling them a slur.
Steven Crowder
Yes.
Applejack
Right.
Josh Firestein
And you. One guy is late to work.
Steven Crowder
Yeah.
Josh Firestein
Four weeks in a row. And you go, man, that guy's always late. He's so lazy.
Steven Crowder
And they go, oh, you just called.
Josh Firestein
Him the N word. You're like, what? No. Yeah, I think he's half black.
Applejack
Maybe.
Steven Crowder
I don't even know.
Josh Firestein
I thought he was Puerto Rican.
Steven Crowder
Yeah, he's. Hey, Jamaal Bowman pulls fire alarms. And he's a. He's dishonest. He has no problem breaking the law and lying. You just saying the N word. No, I'm saying you. I'm saying you have no problem breaking. You're the criminal. Not all black people, but think about this. No, don't. Get the fuck out of here. I'm sorry. Like, I'm sorry. This is where I am now, because we will go through these, and we always make the references publicly available. Right? Where we go claim truth, okay? Myth, reality. When someone sets it up, and this is a pathology, when they set it up, that. No, no, no, no, no. The reason that the black community has diabetes and heart disease at large is because of you. And maybe not you, but some person called us the N word but maybe didn't call us the N word, but implied something negative. And so we're not responsible for any of our own outcomes. This is my new policy. Go fuck it. No, go fuck yourself. I'm not doing this. I'm not doing this. If we would have just done this early. And I mean, this guy. If we would have just done this early on. Early on when someone came in like, hey, I'm a lady. Get the fuck outta here. No, we're not doing. No, go, go. That's silly. It's dumb. We're not doing it. Hey, black lives matter. Get the. Go away from us. We're not talking to you.
Applejack
Goodbye.
Steven Crowder
If someone presents an argument, deal with the. This is not an argument. This is a trap. No, the trap is you just. You now have to nuke everything.
Applejack
By the way, when it comes to obesity, the N word he's talking about is nutrition. Nutrition is the N word.
Steven Crowder
That's a dog whistle.
Applejack
I can't believe you done said that. Like, I had the power to cause cancer my whole life and I'm just finding out about it now.
Steven Crowder
Yeah. Now. Do fatherless households.
Josh Firestein
Jesus.
Steven Crowder
I'm sure. Let me guess, that's my fault, too. It's the fault of the community that doesn't have fatherless households, by the way, whether rich or poor or middle class that you do. It's the fault of the community that has less diabetes and heart disease. That's right, because we're the oppressor, you're the oppressed. Does this man actually comment? Do you think he actually believes that he is obese because someone used a slur? Because he washed roots? All right.
Josh Firestein
I don't know. That's what his. That's what his exercise bike told him.
Steven Crowder
Yeah, it's his peloton. His peloton. That's what it's called. Come on. Whoa. Imma go drown myself in a little debit.
Josh Firestein
I gotta avoid that bike at all costs.
Steven Crowder
Like the furnace. It's like the furnace in Home Alone. What? Shut up. What? It's everywhere. It's everywhere. That's why you got diabetes.
Applejack
Ah, heart disease.
Steven Crowder
Hey, how about. How about this? How about maybe you're a perpetual victim and you're a fat because you just make bad choices and it's your own fault. There you go. Can we do.
Applejack
We're so racist. You were a congressman.
Steven Crowder
Yeah, yeah. All right. It's gonna be a tough show to get through. It's gonna be tough. I just, like. I just. That's. No, I'm not gonna. There's no idea to refute. That's it. Get out of here. Go. Go screw yourself. Okay, so this is another one. The left is pretty much always wrong. And what do I mean by that? The left was wrong on central urban planning. The left was wrong. I mean, if you want to point to communism, every example of it ever being implemented to any degree whatsoever. Wrong on climate change. Florida's not supposed to be there. We're not supposed to have any more of the Great Barrier Reef. Ozone's supposed to be gone. Let's see what else wrong on. Well, obviously wrong on the trans issue in kids and men and women's sports. Wrong on taxation, the economy. Gosh, take your pick. They're wrong about pretty much everything. Wrong that we were going to be living under a Nazi regime with less freedom, whereas we actually have more, or at least more protected our First Amendment rights and Second Amendment rights. Maybe you can comment as to when they've been right about anything in recent memory, objectively, and I'll concede it if you guys can please comment below. Nick, that's Apple tech. That's where you hit comment. Good. You're doing better. So let's go. Let's now apply this to NATO, where assuming everything works out, this is the best result humanly possible. And it's been a big issue not only for the United States, but the international community at large. Right. This has been looming where they're like, at what point are they gonna come and actually collect on the bill? So let's back up. Case you've forgotten, according to the experts in the media, when President Trump then, you know, elect or then, sorry, nominee or then guy they were trying to put in jail, then, sorry, maybe guy they tried to assassinate, they told you that if he ever achieved higher office again, that President Trump was going to disband and abandon our NATO allies. Here's proof.
Marco Rubio
One thing that Donald Trump has proven.
Steven Crowder
Time and time again is something that's not trustworthy when it comes to standing.
Josh Firestein
Up for our allies.
Steven Crowder
During his speech in Detroit today, the same one where he insulted Detroit, Donald Trump also brought bragged before the city's economic club about his willingness to abandon NATO allies in the face of Russian aggression.
Josh Firestein
You said so.
Steven Crowder
For those of you keeping track, Trump.
Josh Firestein
Says he will end the war in Ukraine in 24 hours.
Steven Crowder
Putin tells him to look like a cat left in the rain. Worse than ever.
Josh Firestein
Trump says he'll solve the Gaza war. That war is not worth. Trump tells Bibi not to strike Iran to give him space to negotiate. Bibi strikes Iran two days before talks. Does it seem like world readers respect.
Marco Rubio
Trump abandoned Ukraine to say nothing of our allies overseas?
Steven Crowder
Yeah, and so they were saying that. But again, in context, even some of those examples Where President Trump was saying, people need to start paying what they agreed to a very long time ago or NATO is of no benefit to us. So here's where we are now. Yesterday, NATO summit, funniest NATO summit ever, by the way, in the Netherlands. The NATO allies, most of whom didn't meet their spending at all. While we overspent, they agreed. They agreed to massively increase their spending to 5% of their GDP.
Marco Rubio
In a very historic milestone this week, the NATO allies committed to dramatically increase their defense spending to that 5% of GDP, something that no one really thought possible. And they said, you did it, sir, you did it. Well, I don't know if I did it, but I think I did.
Josh Firestein
Did you finish? I don't know if you finished. I think you did.
Steven Crowder
I think it'd be impossible not to. I'm gonna go back to the spending because Spain sucks. But before that, you'll understand. You'll understand in a few minutes. There was a lot that was just worth watching and covering. That's just fun. So, for example, the NATO Secretary General, Mark. Is it Ruta. Ruta had called Trump daddy. And that's a win.
Marco Rubio
They've had it. They've had a big fight. Like two kids in a schoolyard, you know, they fight like hell. You can't stop them. Let them fight for about two, three minutes. Then it's easier to stop them.
Steven Crowder
And then Daddy has to sometimes use strong language to get somebody strong.
Marco Rubio
Every once in a while you have to use a certain word.
Steven Crowder
It would be a lot less creepy if it wasn't that accent. Yeah, Daddy has to sometimes use strong language. I like it when Daddy comes home. When my mother used to say, wait till your daddy gets home. I get hard sometimes.
Josh Firestein
You have to have your daddy spank you.
Steven Crowder
That's right. I see Daddy pick a cheek. Which one's been worse?
Josh Firestein
Sounds like left owned, right? Please.
Steven Crowder
How about both? That's a reward. The cherry on top. Oh, no, wait, no, wait, hold on. We have another clip after this. President Trump addressed it later in the press conference. And I want you to pay very close attention to usually stoic, straight faced, most improved Marco Rubio.
Marco Rubio
Hello.
Steven Crowder
Deborah Haynes from Sky News.
Josh Firestein
Mark Ritter, the NATO chief. Who is your friend?
Steven Crowder
He called you Daddy earlier. Do you regard NATO allies as kind of children? No.
Marco Rubio
He likes me. I think he likes me. If he doesn't, I'll let you know. I'll come back and I'll hit him hard, okay? He did. He did a drug section. Daddy. You're my daddy.
Josh Firestein
I remember When I called him Danny.
Steven Crowder
You could see in his face. He's like, that's why he called me small hands. This is just what this guy does. I'm glad he's doing it for me now.
Applejack
He is so stoked. He always looks like he has a frown basically on his face. And he just couldn't stop laughing.
Steven Crowder
He just couldn't help it. It's just too good. The cherry on top was then. And this is how you know you have a White House. This is another win with a sense of humor. Because at first I watched this, I said, wait, they're not taking themselves seriously, are they? And then as you continue to watch, you go like, oh, it's just one of the best troll jobs and the funniest White House ever. They released this hype video. Just watch it.
Josh Firestein
I just want to get your attention. I've been in to be all up in your head.
Steven Crowder
Here it comes.
Josh Firestein
Yeah.
Steven Crowder
It'S a pretty good hype video. Even though it's a troll.
Josh Firestein
Yeah, it's well done. Wonder how Usher feels about it.
Applejack
It's awesome.
Steven Crowder
It's like, also, I'm not gonna lie to you, especially after moment. Like, it's nice to see some authoritative white guys in charge sham and hex up and I get Rubio. He's Latino, you know. But the point is like, ah, it's fine. It's not some weird trans freak show who's chest feeding.
Josh Firestein
By far the funniest president of all time.
Steven Crowder
I know.
Josh Firestein
Like, I haven't been alive for 250 years, but no, I hope it's got to be pretty close.
Steven Crowder
Yeah, maybe George Washington sounded just like him. We. This is one president who doesn't chest feed. No, not pet eggs. But Pete Putky groans.
Josh Firestein
Cannot tell a lie.
Applejack
That is a man.
Steven Crowder
We don't know what Abraham Lincoln necessarily.
Josh Firestein
Four score and 20 dicks ago.
Steven Crowder
Four score and seven faggots ago. All right, here's the bad part. But it's okay because daddy will deal with it. Spain is a nation of idiots. They refuse to pay 5%. And what do you think was going to happen espying President Trump was pissed. Rightfully so.
Marco Rubio
Are you satisfied with today's oh, I think Spain's terrible. What they've done. No, I do. They're the only country that won't pay the full up. They want to stay at 2%. I think it's terrible. And you know, they're doing very well. The economy is very well. And that economy could be blown right out of the water with something Bad happening. No. Spain is the only country that. Are you from Spain?
Steven Crowder
Yeah.
Marco Rubio
Good. Congratulations. You're the only country that is not paying. I don't know what the problem is.
Applejack
Look at him again.
Marco Rubio
So we'll make it up. You know what we're going to do? We're negotiating with Spain on a trade deal. We're going to make them pay twice as much. And I'm actually serious about that. I'm going to negotiate directly with Spain. I'm going to do it myself.
Steven Crowder
No cs, they got to pay.
Josh Firestein
They'll pay more money.
Applejack
We're going to get. Marco's just having a few.
Marco Rubio
Tell them to go back and pay. You're a reporter. Tell them to go back. They ought to join all of those countries that are paying 5%. Spain's going to be just about the only one that's not.
Steven Crowder
Just about. No, they're going to be the only.
Applejack
One that's not the only one.
Steven Crowder
I think it's the only one. Are there any others? I don't know. Someone. People are saying, there's no others. I say, I don't know. It's just Spain. Wow.
Josh Firestein
They're gonna be running from the bull. And I'm the bull.
Steven Crowder
Siesta means nap. The whole country takes a nap. Can you believe it? So he may be a. And I mean this, people think because of the way that he speaks that he's bumbling. I've never, never said that Donald Trump is anything other than smart. He may actually be a genius. And I mean he may actually be a genius because we couldn't have predicted this being as effective as we've seen, for example, with the border we saw with Iran at negotiating. This is a guy who has done this his entire life, pretty much exclusively. You know, President Trump as far as a business person is usually about brokering, about negotiating deals. He's not someone who's just running a shop. And he does seem to have an ability to see the whole field or to see around corners, see pitfalls that other people don't see. Because now they're gonna pay 5%. Now keep, keep in mind, before President Trump's first term, only 5% of countries were meeting their commitment of 2% of their GDP spending in NATO, now that number is 23 nations. Wow. And even more, I'm gonna go to the infrastructure part next. But for example, they're gonna now increase their spending to 5% and the UK is going to spend some of that 5% with us buying 12 nuclear capable F35s in Germany also buying three dozen F35s.
Josh Firestein
Excellent.
Applejack
Nice.
Steven Crowder
And it's just. It's one of those things where it's a. It's a twofer win. He. Not only he. Full MSRP sticker price. They're going like hotcakes. We can't.
Marco Rubio
I could.
Steven Crowder
Look, I can't give you a discount. I'm sorry. It's full price, not wholesale. Retail. So they're going to start spending.
Applejack
Oh, my gosh.
Steven Crowder
And they're going to spend it with us. And then. And this is. I tell you what, I will retire a happy man in this hyperbole. Just to be clear.
Applejack
I was like, wait, what?
Josh Firestein
What? What?
Steven Crowder
I'll just quit. I will kill myself in happiness if President Trump gets Europe to cut welfare spending, which may be what we're looking at. So that's been one of the questions. And a Dutch official asked about this had a pretty good answer. He said, it's a difficult question, but we can make it about rebuilding our infrastructure. There is not a bridge in the Netherlands that can actually hold a tank. How do you. How do you. And this is how silly it is. These people have been banking on us protect. How do you defend your nation if you can't get your tanks anywhere?
Applejack
Well, we just don't want anybody else to get their tanks in so they.
Josh Firestein
Can easily build one.
Steven Crowder
I guess we can cut the welfare if we just say it's infant because we don't have bridges that can hold a man with the rifle. Shouldn't you have thought of that before you pissed off the most powerful nation that's ever existed?
Applejack
Oh, my gosh.
Steven Crowder
This has been them preying on our generosity. Think about that. You're giving your people free Internet, but you can't. You don't have a bridge for your tanks.
Applejack
I know. It is the most insane thing I've seen. And look, by the way, we. We kind of called the increased spending from these countries. Oh, yeah, you called it.
Josh Firestein
Come let Zoltar tell you more.
Steven Crowder
I'm gonna hit the next pitch ball right past the flag. We're gonna win the game.
Marco Rubio
I guarantee.
Josh Firestein
Team.
Steven Crowder
We just say new rules. Went to 4%. You guys have six months to get to 4% on your military spending. You guys have six months. Call your SNAP budget meeting, whatever it is, and all your stupid, silly Banana Republic government systems. We don't give a shit. Come back to us when you have 4% or we're out until all of you do. Once all of you do. Fine, we'll be in Naito.
Applejack
Yeah, we'll just pause Article 5.
Josh Firestein
I can get behind that.
Steven Crowder
And by the way, for us, it's two. For you all, it's four.
Applejack
Because we're so much bigger.
Steven Crowder
Well, because we're so much bigger. Because we've been spending so much.
Applejack
Yes, we're gonna spend what we're gonna spend.
Steven Crowder
That's the new agreement. It's four for you, it's two for us. Within six months or we're out.
Applejack
Deal?
Steven Crowder
Deal.
Josh Firestein
Come let Zoltar tell you more.
Steven Crowder
The next pitch. Ball right past the flag.
Josh Firestein
We're gonna win the game, I guarantee you.
Steven Crowder
And then he went one more. He did with five. And by the way, he said, we're gonna stay at 2. He also said that, I believe last week, he's like, we're gonna stay at 2. You're going to 5. There's no negotiation. That's what you're gonna do. Good luck getting your tanks nowhere.
Applejack
Yeah, build a bridge.
Josh Firestein
Weren't we at, like, 3, like, 3, or.
Steven Crowder
We were spending well, more. I think 3.6 is what we were spending some years over 4. And many nations didn't even spend 0.6%.
Josh Firestein
We spend. I don't think we really care about the percent. We just spend what we're gonna spend.
Applejack
Yes.
Steven Crowder
Right.
Josh Firestein
And it ends up being that.
Steven Crowder
Yeah. And they. And they bank on us doing that. That's the problem is they bank on us doing it, and then they don't protect themselves. I can't be anything other than happy. Can you guys comment? But, like, hey, let's show a little camaraderie with each other. Like, this is a good thing. This is. This has been a really, really good week. Not perfect, but a good week.
Josh Firestein
This is great. And I wonder how the mainstream media is gonna spin this as a bad thing. You know, Europe is building its own arms, building up their own militaries is a good thing.
Steven Crowder
Yeah.
Josh Firestein
A stronger Europe, that's what you want, right?
Steven Crowder
Right.
Applejack
It's not just independently meaning one of those countries is just gonna attack another. It's as a group, as NATO.
Josh Firestein
Right.
Applejack
So they can come to the defense of a country if they are invaded and maybe, I don't know, check some aggression.
Steven Crowder
You know what? Wouldn't they want to do that? If they actually believed that Trump or the United States was a fascist nation, Wouldn't they want to be able to protect. Because we're the ones that we need to protect themselves from. We're telling you, hey, prepare for us. Since you think we're so bad.
Josh Firestein
Yeah. So fast. Do you remember when Hitler was selling Tiger tanks to friggin Europe, the rest of Europe and Russia and.
Steven Crowder
Yeah, exactly. He was selling. He was selling a case to the Jews.
Applejack
That's weird.
Steven Crowder
Have I got a deal for you.
Josh Firestein
Selling Panzers to France. Remember that?
Applejack
Have you heard of the Holy Land declaration? Let's do it now.
Steven Crowder
That's right. Look, this land, this is a once in a lifetime offer for the chosen people. Ring, ring. It's God you're going to answer. So I can't be anything other than happy. Here's another one. This is now dead. Also, Trump got Zelensky to wear a suit. That's all he wanted. But one of the oldest lines of attack on President Trump, which we also just saw, completely dispelled, was that President Trump was Putin's bitch. Remember that?
Josh Firestein
Well, that's because he'd rather have a.
Steven Crowder
Puppet as President of the United States. It's pretty clear.
Josh Firestein
It's pretty clear.
Steven Crowder
You won't admit that the Russians have engaged in cyberattacks against the United States of America.
Applejack
In fact, the only thing your mouth.
Josh Firestein
Is good for is being Vladimir Putin's holster. You have been watching perhaps one of the most disgraceful performances by an American president at a summit in front of a Russian leader, certainly that I've ever seen.
Steven Crowder
More and more Republicans are increasingly siding.
Applejack
With Russia, seemingly at the behest of.
Steven Crowder
Donald Trump, whose appeasement of Vladimir Putin.
Marco Rubio
Should come as no surprise.
Steven Crowder
But this is one other thing to watch. If we really are now abandoning the.
Josh Firestein
Free world and lining up instead with the world's dictatorships.
Steven Crowder
And Trump is unwilling to even explain why. The Trump people basically live in a transactional world where they don't understand why Ukraine would resist because they don't really understand about sovereignty.
Josh Firestein
But fundamentally, Trump admires Putin and wants to be like Putin. He wants to be like Putin even more than he wants to be like a king.
Steven Crowder
See, if he's cordial with Putin, it's appeasement, and if he's harsh with the ayatollah, it's aggressive. There's no winning with these people. They just hate America at every single turn. You know what's good for America? Not being at war with Russia. You know what's good for America? Iran? Not having nukes. And there are ways to accomplish both of them. Unfortunately for that narrative, President Trump was anything, anything but pro Putin at the NATO Summit. Very clearly, Mr. President, Secretary General Ruta has described President Putin as an adversary.
Josh Firestein
A threat, an enemy.
Steven Crowder
Do you view him the same way.
Marco Rubio
As Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Kaine.
Josh Firestein
Yes.
Steven Crowder
He has said that Mr. Putin has.
Marco Rubio
Territorial ambitions beyond Ukraine.
Steven Crowder
Do you view that in the same way?
Marco Rubio
It's possible. I mean, it's possible. I know one thing. He'd like to settle. He'd like to get out of this thing. It's a mess for him. He called the other day. He said, can I help you with Iran? I said, no, you can help me with Russia.
Steven Crowder
My husband is there.
Marco Rubio
Wow. And I can see you very. You know, it's amazing.
Steven Crowder
And me with the kids, I mean, was actually because he wanted me to.
Marco Rubio
Is your husband a soldier?
Steven Crowder
No, Ukrainian lady.
Marco Rubio
He's there now, yeah. Wow, that's rough stuff. Right? That's tough. And you're living here in was and you're a reporter.
Josh Firestein
I am.
Marco Rubio
Good. So let me just tell you, they do want to have the anti missile missiles. Okay. As they call them the Patriots. And we're going to see if we can make some available, you know, and I wish you a lot of luck. I mean, I can see it's very upsetting to you.
Steven Crowder
It. And all Zelensky had to do was wear a suit.
Josh Firestein
Looks very nice.
Steven Crowder
I really don't want to be wearing this right now. Look really quickly on cnn. Doge cuts could weaken US ability to handle Iran threats. What threat? Are you. Are you serious?
Applejack
To Americans?
Steven Crowder
Are you serious? So. So you guys see it? Get the hell out of here. That's it. Really? Oh, so now hold on a second. The biggest threat, the biggest threat facing the United States regarding Iran's nuclear capabilities is Doge. Do I have that right?
Josh Firestein
Yeah. Well, it's because Doge is cutting the, you know, the trans Sesame street program in Iran.
Steven Crowder
Yes.
Josh Firestein
And so because of that, all this trans aggression, which doesn't exist, by the way, is going to just manifest itself here in the States.
Steven Crowder
Yeah, the threat that doesn't exist. And it's because of. It's because. It's because I'm kicking illegals off of Medicaid.
Applejack
All the people we called out. Do you see why you sound exactly like the media? You sound exactly like them.
Steven Crowder
I mean, it's just. Guys, this is a good day. Like Ice Cube said, today was a good day. I didn't even have to use my ak. So Zelensky double hit a triple double. He hit a triple double.
Applejack
Me and you.
Josh Firestein
Josh.
Applejack
Sorry, sorry, bro.
Steven Crowder
Mom made breakfast with no hawk. Now Zelensky even champion on X, saying, I congratulated President Trump on the successful operation in the Middle East. Ukraine is ready to buy this equipment and Support American weapon manufacturers. I also informed the President about how the technical teams meetings in Istanbul went, as well as the exchanges of prisoners that have fallen. Russia handed over the bodies of its own troops. That's really weird to throw in at the end. That may be a war crime.
Josh Firestein
That's. Yeah, that's awful. So they're handing over troops, dead soldiers, casualties, Russia, as if that. As if they're Ukrainian and they're actually Russian.
Steven Crowder
That's what seems, again, this is just going by what Zelensky has said, which is, if true, just shows you that Putin doesn't care about its own people. If he's doing that, this is why, like I said, they're both. They're both pricks. They're both corrupt nations. I don't think that Russia is any beacon of hope or bastion of freedom. Come on, guys, let's just. We just don't want to go to war with Russia.
Applejack
What did Putin do? Like, throw in a North Korean body? Like, what a jerk.
Josh Firestein
I wouldn't doubt it.
Applejack
No, we wanted. We wanted Vladimir. This is Vladimir easily tell.
Steven Crowder
This is Chen. Now, let's just wrap this up, then we'll get to gay Iron man, because it's another. When Disney is hemorrhaging money.
Applejack
Oh, good.
Steven Crowder
Oh, Mission control, can you just bring me that number as to the losses from Disney? I think it was like 40 something billion, whatever it was. Or the debt.
Applejack
That's the debt, I believe.
Steven Crowder
Wrapping up NATO. Trump also took the opportunity to rip on the media for its coverage, as we're seeing now, of the Iran mission. And again, watch Rubio and cnn.
Marco Rubio
New York Times are all bad. They're sick. There's something wrong with them. But you know what? You should be praising those people instead of trying to find some. By getting me. By trying to go and get me, you're hurting those people. They were devastated. You know, I got a call from Missouri, great state that I won three times by a lot. And I got a call that the pilots and the people on the plane were devastated because they were trying to minimize the attack. And they all said it was hit, but. Oh, but we don't think it was really maybe hit that badly. And they were devastated. They put their lives on the line and then they have. And I'm not referring to you, but real scum, real scum come out and write reports that are as negative as they could possibly be. It should be the opposite. You should make them heroes and heroines. You should make them really people that. They were so devastated when they heard this News. And you know what they said? One of them. I spoke to one of them said, sir, we hit the site. It was perfect. It was dead on. Because they don't understand fake news, because they don't make normal. But it's a shame. You should be making them heroes.
Steven Crowder
That turned out better than we would have thought.
Josh Firestein
Rubio might have smoked a little bit on the Air Force One there.
Steven Crowder
A little bit. By the way, that'll have. Whatever that nonprofit is that labeled us least accurate in media, because that actually didn't happen. Celine Dion did not provide the licensing.
Applejack
Rights, and there was no zoom.
Steven Crowder
There was no zoom. So all the references available link in the description, as we do every single show. If anyone else doesn't, I'd immediately question them.
Josh Firestein
I like how he said heroes and heroines. Take that times.
Steven Crowder
Yeah, damn.
Josh Firestein
We were going to. We were going to hit that. He didn't mention the women trans.
Steven Crowder
What do we call? Son of a bitch.
Applejack
The reception from him at that NATO conference is so different than obviously, we showed the media and saying what he would do, right? But the world leaders. We had basically been told that all the world leaders just want to shun Donald Trump. They hate him. They think he's an authoritarian, that he's a fascist. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. That was like going to a party, like a friendly gathering of people. Like, that's. It was just such a different tone.
Steven Crowder
Here's the thing. Former Vice President Biden was a severe embarrassment to this nation. By that, I mean that guy walks into NATO like, oh, oh, do you need a hand? Do you see? He doesn't know where he's going. President Trump, before he was president, he walked into a room and people go, holy shit, that's Trump. Yeah, right. He walks into that room, they're going, okay, Daddy's home. As they said, we go from, hey, do you need. Do you need help? Do you need to help finding. You need help finding Jill? To yes, Mr. Trump, sir. Yes, Mr. President, sir. Yes. Look, you guys can say, oh, mean tweets. Hey, respect counts for more. On the international stage, being nice gets you nowhere. If you're. If you're just nice for the sake of nice, being virtuous gets you somewhere. But let's be honest, when it comes to dealing with world leaders, it's about commanding respect. Combine that with virtue, that's where you have historically great leaders. Let's go on to something historically gay, at least now going forward, Remember how Iron man wasn't filled with faggotry? Remember that? That was Fun.
Josh Firestein
Which one?
Applejack
Back in the day.
Steven Crowder
So Disney now, in not being able to dig their own grave deep enough, they decided to drop their worst content yet. And this encapsulates everything wrong. And this is why this is so fun. Because for a while this kind of thing worked. You realize that before this new generational shift, it's no small thing. And this is also why I've talked about the fracturing on the right and impeaching Donald Trump and how I'm ashamed, people saying I'm ashamed to have voted for him. Generation Z and I think Generation Alpha below them, from the numbers we have going conservative, leaning right, leaning significantly right, that may be the most significant shift politically in this country ever. But Certainly the last 150 years, that doesn't happen. And so people who voted for the first time in this last election who voted for Donald Trump, it's important that we show those people what their money got them, what their vote got them. And so if you simply because you want to be a contrarian for the sake of it, downplay the wins, you may lose them forever. Because these people, these young people who veered right, they're very fortunate in that their first vote was part of a movement where they can actually see the fruits of their vote. Because we all know what it's like to vote for Republicans and have nothing to show for it. They need to see that there's something to show for it. And that's a long way around to say this stuff that you see from Disney, the propaganda, legacy media, all of the entertainment media, industrial complex, it used to work and shape public opinion. Now it has become the point of ridicule. And that is the biggest win of them all. It's time for entertainment minute. Okay. And really quickly, I forgot to tell you guys, best way to follow this show. We're live weekdays, 11am Eastern, no matter what. But download the Rumble app. Follow us there if you're still watching on YouTube, if you're on Facebook or X, follow us there. You get notified when we are live. It's Rumble. We own live. YouTube's dead. Rumble did it. And sometimes we do special streams. You don't get spammed. Download the Rumble app. And before we go, so Disney, what's the Disney's market?
Applejack
So they, they've lost in a lot of different ways. So so far they've lost $11 billion on streaming and they lost $140 billion in market cap since March of 2021 alone. Okay, I think there's five movies responsible for $630 million in losses.
Steven Crowder
Wow.
Applejack
It's. It's not billion. That's a wrong number.
Steven Crowder
Yeah.
Applejack
630 million. It's insane. And this is probably not going to help.
Steven Crowder
No. So in ensuring that it gets worse. Worse.
Josh Firestein
So you're saying the Pedro Pascal Fantastic Four might not be great?
Steven Crowder
It might not be great. Well, no Fantastic Four film has ever been great. And that's hard to do with Jessica Alba in a bodysuit. No.
Applejack
Yeah, I didn't want to say it.
Steven Crowder
Just call it Jessica Alba Bodysuit and include nothing else and it would have done better.
Josh Firestein
Yeah, I'll provide the thing.
Steven Crowder
Yeah, exactly. The viewers will all provide their thing.
Applejack
Oh, come on.
Steven Crowder
Stop it. You went along with me the entire show. And you know what's coming up?
Applejack
Well, it gets worse. We're about to cause a whole lot of cancer.
Steven Crowder
So some people here in the office. I didn't have time. Watched the first episode last night of this Iron Heart, which is part of the universe for Iron Man. And of course, it's every progressive woke trope that could be fit in there. Let's. Let's watch.
Josh Firestein
Trailer tech is the future. You can actually help people.
Applejack
I know, riri.
Josh Firestein
So where's your arc reactor? That's like, you know, they don't exactly hand those out. Y' all calling me crazy all day.
Steven Crowder
Like, oh, my God.
Josh Firestein
When I got back from Wakanda, I.
Steven Crowder
Felt stuck to bring my ideas to life.
Josh Firestein
I need cashiness.
Marco Rubio
Come work for me.
Josh Firestein
I assume these jobs aren't exactly legal.
Steven Crowder
Not exactly.
Josh Firestein
So you in or out? We oceans 11 to the Sopranos.
Marco Rubio
What's the difference?
Steven Crowder
Okay, that's enough. No, that's enough. I don't want to do it. That's enough.
Applejack
You haven't gotten to the part about the suit being solar powered yet.
Steven Crowder
Fine. It's science. Fine.
Josh Firestein
It's solar and wind powered.
Steven Crowder
Oh, really? And her name is.
Josh Firestein
So it lasts 14 minutes.
Steven Crowder
And her name is Riri.
Applejack
She's Riri. Yeah.
Steven Crowder
Re.
Applejack
High school.
Steven Crowder
Yeah. So they need cash. Literally. Perfection. Just. I. Okay, let me guess. You said you watched it, Josh. So Iron man is now basically the new one is a black chick.
Josh Firestein
Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's a black chick. And there's a. There's There's a lot of minority characters and that's fine. There's some white ones. There's not really a lot of white ones. There's only a few. And they're all like super negative stereotype white people. Right, right. It's like the very beginning. There's a white guy and he's the dean of mit, and he's the one who's angrily kicking her out of MIT after she made a bunch of mistakes and caused a lot of damage.
Steven Crowder
Okay.
Josh Firestein
Wrongfully kicking her out. He's angry, gets mad. He's out of here. And he has that voice. And then there's like, we don't want colors in mit. Yeah, he didn't say that, but it's very close.
Steven Crowder
Yeah.
Josh Firestein
And then you go. And then you go to that guy that was in there who's like, where's your arc reactor? That guy's like another, like, stereotypical suburban white dude. You're in his house at one point, he's got a live laugh love sign above him.
Steven Crowder
Oh, my God.
Josh Firestein
He's scared of. He's terrified of this little teenage girl. And he's got live laugh love twice in his, his little office. And he's got. Oh, by the way, there's a fourth live laugh love sign he puts to the trash at one point because he's like, oh, she told me to get.
Steven Crowder
Rid of my dorky white stuff.
Josh Firestein
And, and then, and then there's another scene where he steps in the, the neighbor's dog. Little, Little white neighbor's dog poops in his yard. And he's like. And she's like the most annoying Karen white chick of all time. Like, the dialogue is terrible. It seems like it was written by a meme artist. It's the worst.
Steven Crowder
Yeah. And then, and then I, I, I, I understand a lot of trans in there too.
Josh Firestein
Oh, yeah. There's some that are supposed to be not. Like, you're not, you're supposed to not think that they're. They're trans. You're supposed to be like, yeah. Oh, yeah, that's a guy.
Steven Crowder
Yeah.
Josh Firestein
It's like Nick, Nick Applejack here knows. He read the comic books and he know. He was telling me that the, the blood siblings, they call them.
Steven Crowder
Yeah.
Josh Firestein
Show they're actually known as the blood brothers, and they're aliens. And now they're just trans people.
Steven Crowder
Yeah.
Josh Firestein
And then one's female to male trans person who's, who's supposed to just be this Mexican person with a really bad mullet. And, and, and, and when they fight, they throw security guards across the room.
Steven Crowder
Room.
Josh Firestein
And then there's one who's a, who's a trans person, and it's this giant black dude with, like, green makeup and green hair and the nails and claps his nails as like.
Steven Crowder
Okay, all right.
Josh Firestein
That's right. That's right. And it's like six, seven. Full of testosterone. And in the comic books, and Nick was telling me that it's supposed to be like this giant fat guy. Fat white guy.
Steven Crowder
Yeah, his.
Josh Firestein
His whole thing is that he's a big fat white guy and he sits at a computer and does all the tech stuff and hacks.
Steven Crowder
Yeah, it's a weird trans black guy who clips his nails.
Applejack
So did they say that tech is the future in the start of this? Was that one of the lines that said tech is the future? Like, oh, really? Hi. 1980s.
Steven Crowder
Yeah, like, look, I got a calculator watch that's solar powered. I can spell tits upside down.
Applejack
Yeah, sorry. It's also the now. And by the way, Josh, do I have this correctly? She needs cash to become a superhero, and so she becomes a villain?
Steven Crowder
Well, no, hold on.
Josh Firestein
She needs cash to build her suit. She wants to build her suit.
Steven Crowder
So she. We'll get to it. We'll get it.
Applejack
Okay, fine.
Steven Crowder
I guess here's a little teaser from the opening episode, I guess. And I couldn't. I would watch it. I just couldn't. I've watched so much of this crap for you. The only other time I put my foot down was cuties. I'm like, look, I'm not gonna watch it, okay? This is probably worse than cuties. But let's show this.
Josh Firestein
Here we go. Here we go.
Steven Crowder
Okay.
Josh Firestein
Oh, just to let you know, your girlfriend will be bigger than Jobs.
Steven Crowder
Right.
Josh Firestein
Bigger than Gates.
Steven Crowder
Right.
Josh Firestein
Bigger than Pim.
Steven Crowder
Right.
Josh Firestein
Big. And start.
Steven Crowder
Yeah, Come by. Are you gonna get so big because someone used the N word?
Applejack
Oh, obesity is watching this segment.
Steven Crowder
That's a callback to Bowman. People watching this segment. If it gets clipped. He said that black people are only fat because at some point a white person used the N word. So according to Disney plus, Ironheart pits technology against magic.
Josh Firestein
What? What?
Steven Crowder
What?
Josh Firestein
Oh, I know it did. Okay, I get it.
Steven Crowder
I get it. When Riri Williams, a young genius inventor determined to make her mark in the world, returns to her hometown of Chicago, her unique take on building iron suits is brilliant. But in pursuit of her ambitions, she finds herself wrapped up with mysterious yet charming Parker Robbins, AKA the Hood. And here's the thing. This whole thing is like Josh was just saying, it's that re retarded as a black woman just can't get her fair shake. She would be the best selling bigot in Jobs if I wasn't a black one. People wasn't racist in reality. Here's the thing. The exact opposite is true. If you are a passable Young black woman. There are all kinds of programs and incentives and subsidies to get you in STEM fields, and then they inevitably fall behind by all the statistics we have available to us.
Josh Firestein
Well, she was on one. She's on the Tony Stark Scholarship program.
Steven Crowder
Okay.
Josh Firestein
She gets kicked off of it from costing the school, like, thousands of dollars.
Steven Crowder
Exactly what you mean. You mean she was a public vandal. So a quarter of all Pell Grant recipients are black. To be clear, there's other programs out there. Black girls do stem. National Society of Black Engineers, uncf, STEM Scholars Program. Now, just imagine. Just imagine if any of the. Just change it to white. And look, look, here's the thing. And it's fine, but everything is trans and everything is black. I'm. I get it. They're trying to say that there are so many young, black, brilliant mechanical engineers out there. Just. And I'm gonna tell you, I don't think there are that many. I just don't.
Josh Firestein
What percentages. It's like, you know, it's per capita, right? So it's like, I think. I think black women hold the most master's degree per capita is what it is. And then they go, well, everyone's holding us back. Yeah. Are they? You have. You just bragged about having the most master's degrees per capita?
Steven Crowder
Yeah. Then nothing stopping you from inventing anything. In other words, the barrier to entry would be. We wouldn't allow you to get master's because that's. That's an institution. But anyone from their couch can invent anything. So the institutions are encouraging you. We're subsidizing you. But then when it comes to, hey, sink or swim on your own, statistically, well, I don't know. Point me to any inventions that would rival Tony Stark coming from someone like riri, and it's fine. There might. Maybe they just haven't had their day yet. The riris of the world, to be specific. But let's not take it away from Tony Stark. And here's the thing. Here's a quote from it, too. And this is just all designed. Look, this is because angry, mustachioed feminists and trans lesbian queers, intersectionalists, they can't keep themselves from sticking their nose where it doesn't belong. And they want you to feel guilty for being a straight white male who's part of a demographic that gave the modern world everything. You can say that it's because it was an oppression of everyone else, but not at this point in 2025. You don't need to feel guilty. We don't need to un. Whitewash everything. Whatever it is, trans wash. It's just designed to make you shut up. Don't. So here's a quote from riri. I need to find a lab so big it won't notice if I finesse a resource here or there. So since she doesn't. Here's the thing. She doesn't have enough money. And of course, you assume there are no other white people in her program who might come from impoverished families who don't have enough money and don't steal. Her answer to everything in this show is to just steal it sometimes. She doesn't even need to, like this bicycle.
Josh Firestein
Just break it.
Steven Crowder
You didn't need to steal that from the lab. No.
Applejack
By the way, she's a genius.
Steven Crowder
Right?
Applejack
She's supposed to be a genius in this show.
Josh Firestein
She is a genius.
Steven Crowder
Yeah.
Josh Firestein
And I. I would like to. I would like give it. To give it a little devil's advocate a little bit. Okay. So the character isn't terrible. The character's not terrible. The story's not terrible. And I can predict where it's going. It's pretty easy to predict where it's going. She is trying to get this suit. She's trying to accomplish something. She's trying to be great. Trying to be, you know, remembered and. And make this great thing because she can. Right. That's the whole thing. She. Why are you doing this? Because I can. Got it. You're a genius. Awesome. And it looks like she has no resources. She doesn't have the capabilities, so she resorts to lesser desirable. Yes. Stealing, getting associated with the wrong people to get some money. And you can see in the show, you can see her character, like, having qualms, like having a conflict, an internal conflict with what she's doing. There's security guard shot. She feels terrible about it. She keeps asking. They go, don't worry about it. And she's with these, you know, undesirables that she's hanging out with. And it appears that eventually in the series she's going to, you know, turn from them.
Steven Crowder
Yeah.
Josh Firestein
And fight them. That's where it says where science beats magic. Because this guy's a hood. It's a magic hood. The problem is when they swapped out all the. We're gonna get to the gender swaps and. And the race swaps. When they did all these things, they did it with the main characters of the show because they're main characters, but they're all bad guys.
Steven Crowder
Yeah.
Josh Firestein
So in trying to be less racist and sexist, they have Become more racist and sexist.
Steven Crowder
Yeah.
Josh Firestein
All the bad people that are stealing our minorities.
Steven Crowder
Yes.
Josh Firestein
All the violent people are the gay hands. It's like you guys missed it.
Steven Crowder
You, you.
Josh Firestein
You're not helping your cause at all.
Steven Crowder
No. Well, let me get. Let's get to that. The major. The race and gender swaps. Okay, so the hood in a comic book. White man in this one, it's a Hispanic man in the show. The hood's cousin, John King in the comic, a white man in the show. Of course, a Hispanic man. Slug as a character in the comic. Obese white man in the show in a feminine looking black man may be trans. I don't know. I don't know anymore. I don't know.
Josh Firestein
The rule.
Steven Crowder
The blood siblings, they're brothers. And their aliens in the show, it's a girl and a female to male trans.
Applejack
Though that's actually probably accurate. They are kind of like aliens.
Josh Firestein
Yeah, that's fair.
Applejack
That's the closest they got with all of them.
Josh Firestein
And they're supposed to be the strength of the squad. And they're like five, six.
Steven Crowder
Yeah.
Applejack
Oh, man.
Steven Crowder
Yeah.
Applejack
I need my trt.
Josh Firestein
Where's the muscle? Our crew needs more muscle.
Steven Crowder
Jess tries to pick up a shield and there's a bone fracture in the air. Someone must have yelled the N word.
Josh Firestein
Oh, you hit my mastectomy scar, Josh.
Applejack
Correct me if I'm wrong, but this lady doesn't have any money. Didn't Tony Stark make the first Iron man suit in a cave?
Josh Firestein
Yes, he did.
Steven Crowder
I don't got money, I gotta steal it. He made the first one in a cave while being held hostage by terrorists. Just saying.
Josh Firestein
Well, to be fair, he did have the resources. The terrorists were giving him the resources.
Steven Crowder
That's true.
Josh Firestein
From his own industry. So I guess there's something there.
Steven Crowder
But a few rusty nails and a couple of head wraps and you create a nuclear core. Here's the thing though, that's really in all references. We make them available. The left, they just tell you that everyone agrees with them. And if not, they must be paid for. They must be fake. You know, kind of like we see right now that everyone agrees with me. And if they say that Donald Trump taking out Iran's nuclear abilities, they must be paid by the Jews. Or you see people who say, like, hey, everyone agrees with me. Unless they think that we shouldn't support Israel, then they must be paid by someone else. People do that. But the left does this always. They always try and gaslight you and tell you, yeah, everyone agrees with me except you because you're paid for by someone and you're like, well, I'm not getting the money. So Rotten Tomatoes, the score, the critics, it's about 69%. The audience is 65%. But here's the thing. The reviews were much, much worse before. Those bad reviews were just removed, just taken off. The bad reviews were taken off. So 65% is a lie. Because Rotten Tomatoes has become aware of this. Disney has a lot of pull where when you see, And I think all of us at this point, we know if you see a very high score from the critics and a very low score from fans, you typically know, okay, that means this is something that's designed for the leftist elitist critics and usually skip over it. So now they're manipulating that. That actually prompted this headline said, ironheart Review bombing proves some Comic Book Fans Still Can't Handle Women of Color in the spotlight. What? It's not. Go search on YouTube or on rumble reviews of this show and you will see the mainstream view of people who actually love these comic books. They're negative. Those just get removed. They're just not included in the average. On Rotten Tomatoes, the left cannot, cannot handle criticism, and they cannot enter onto the battlefield of ideas. It's just, your review's gone.
Josh Firestein
These super fans, they. They love the story. They fell in love with the story. They fell in love with characters, and they wanted to see it on the screen.
Steven Crowder
Right?
Josh Firestein
That's what they wanted. And they're not getting it. And that's what they're saying. And then all of a sudden, it's, well, you can't handle a black woman in the lead. Well, she was the black woman in the lead in the comic book too, fool.
Steven Crowder
Yeah, it just wasn't all.
Josh Firestein
You wanted that. And then you had to. Yeah, you had. And then you. You circumvent the story. Yeah, you. You change the plot. Now you're. Now you're creating new things to fill holes. And it's just, well, Disney, it's just.
Steven Crowder
Like the fans are like, hey, we want this. And Disney's like, you. How about that? And they're like, hey, well, I don't like it. They're like, do more. Hey, Ron, I'm going to take down the review. And they think this is a business model. It's gonna work. The problem for them is that now you guys can all see this. You can all. There's transparency. You just didn't know before. And the same thing can be applied to journalism. So they say that their solution is not, hey, maybe we need to change this. Maybe we're hemorrhaging money because this isn't working. It's Ironheart review bombing proves some comic book fans still can't handle women of color in the spotlight. This is their argument. And whatever this gay defense of the show was.
Applejack
Good morning.
Steven Crowder
Good morning. Guess why I'm calling. It's June 24th. Yeah. Yesterday, Robert Downey Jr. The straight cis white male. That straight cis white male snowflakes duped Kevin Feige into thinking is a necessary element for Marvel to have success at the box office. Called the star of Ironheart, Dominique Thorne, on the day the Disney plus series premiered. Ironheart premieres today. It's all been leading to this. Isn't that exciting. Oh, my God. Thank you. Thank you for the call. Now, this FaceTime call was posted by Robert Dominique Marvel Studios. I don't think Robert's excitement over the series is the underlying message here.
Marco Rubio
No.
Steven Crowder
Let me guess. You're gonna apply an intent to a sweet, congratulatory video.
Josh Firestein
It was filmed in this.
Steven Crowder
Love together. That line. This makes me think that this is the deemed white male savior sending a message to the white racists. Yeah. If you come for her, you're coming for me. Sure. And none of this has stopped Disney from reimagining other classics like our beloved Pinocchio and. And I'm. I'm. I'm real.

Steven Crowder
The realest. Wait for that apology. And that guy needs to put a shirt on. Also, do you guys realize, hey, Robert Downey. When you talk about how white people don't know struggle, so you gotta steal. Let me just set you. Robert Downey Jr. Is a megastar because he was basically dead. His career was over. This is a guy who was a child star, which guaranteed messed him up, was famously cut from SNL after one season rehab. Everyone talked about his promise, how his career was dead. At that point, they were basically burying the body of Robert Downey Jr. S career. He was gone, done. His only friend was Mel Gibson, and he had to eat crap doing shows like Ally McBeal and episodics and guest starring until he came back, proved himself, earned his spot, and then became the lead in one of the most successful franchises of the modern era. You tell me that guy doesn't know struggle. That's why people like him.
Josh Firestein
It is the most successful.
Steven Crowder
It's a redemption tale. It's a comeback story. If you see everything through race, well, of course you justify black female Ironheart having to Steal shit. Because someone somewhere used the N word and gave Jamaal Bowman diabetes, and then.
Applejack

Steven Crowder

Applejack

Josh Firestein
Hey, are you afraid of herpes? F cking good. It's no fun. Watch where you put your dick. It's fucking gross. You get blisters all over your picker and it lasts forever. Oh, look at me. I've got postules and sores all over my lips. Gave us a kiss. No.
Steven Crowder
Off.
Josh Firestein
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
Steven Crowder
To us not sick.
Applejack
It's a better.
Steven Crowder
So here's the thing. Do we need to eliminate stigma for like. For everything? Like, shouldn't some things have a little stigma? And I get it. Herpes a little diddly. It's on your lip. I get it. Doesn't you know the difference between that and genital herpes? I get that. But we've also. I mean, we've also had California passed legislation where you don't have to disclose your HIV to sexual partners because it used to be considered a crime if you infected somebody else. And they say that it's stigmatizing of people with aids. I think there should be a little stigma if you're sodomizing another man and you don't tell him you have aids. I'm okay with the stigma there. Like, I think a little Stig. Little stigma goes a long way when it comes to infected aids. Seminole loads with a stranger. I think that's not. That's not all bad. And then, of course, the PSA won the Cannes Lion Award.
Applejack
Con what?
Steven Crowder
I say cans. I'm French and I don't know the right. Lingerie is not a word in French. I don't even know how you guys say it. Douche means shower. Let's go back to herpes. Reduce the stigma. Hey, hey.

Louder with Crowder Podcast Summary
Episode: Daddy's Home: Trump's NATO Dominance is Breaking Brains Worldwide
Release Date: June 26, 2025
The episode kicks off with host Steven Crowder highlighting a series of recent victories for pro-American and MAGA supporters. Crowder emphasizes the importance of acknowledging positive developments to counterbalance relentless left-wing criticism. He outlines the episode's focus on debunking catastrophic predictions previously made by leftist commentators and showcasing tangible progress under Trump’s influence.
Notable Quote:
"If you are pro America, if you're MAGA, if you want to see this country flourish, we're on the right track in a lot of ways."
— Steven Crowder [00:00]
A central theme of the episode is the pivotal NATO summit where allies committed to increasing their defense spending to 5% of their GDP— a historic shift fueled by Trump’s persistent pressure. Crowder celebrates this achievement, portraying it as a direct result of Trump’s leadership and negotiation skills.
Key Points:
Notable Quote:
"NATO allies committed to dramatically increase their defense spending to that 5%, something that no one really thought possible. And they said, you did it, sir, you did it."
— Marco Rubio [13:30]
Additional Insight:
Crowder discusses the challenges posed by countries like Spain, which resisted meeting the spending targets, and anticipates further negotiations to ensure full compliance among all NATO members.
Crowder transitions to a critique of mainstream media, accusing it of perpetually opposing American interests and refusing to acknowledge Republican successes. He challenges listeners to identify any recent instances where the left was right, asserting that the media’s bias undermines factual reporting and national progress.
Notable Quote:
"They just keep doing everything wrong. Oh, and of course, welcome Bongino army. Coming in from Vince..."
— Steven Crowder [00:00]
A controversial segment addresses Congressman Jamaal Bowman’s assertions linking racial stressors to health problems like diabetes and heart disease in the Black community. Crowder disputes Bowman’s claims, arguing that attributing such health issues to the use of slurs fosters a perpetual victim mentality and absolves individuals of personal responsibility.
Key Points:
Notable Quote:
"The reason why heart disease and cancer and obesity, diabetes, are bigger in the black community is because of the stress we carry from having to deal with being called the N word directly or indirectly every day."
— Jamal Bowman [07:06]
Crowder replies:
"When we invented that word, you were all quite a bit slimmer. And a little more in shape."
— Steven Crowder [06:50]
Crowder dedicates a significant portion of the episode to criticizing Disney’s "Ironheart" series. He argues that the show is riddled with progressive tropes, including race and gender swaps, which he believes undermine the original comic book narratives. Crowder contends that these changes dilute character integrity and cater to a leftist agenda, ultimately harming the franchise's success.
Key Points:
Notable Quote:
"If you simply because you want to be a contrarian for the sake of it, downplay the wins, you may lose them forever."
— Steven Crowder [35:02]
The podcast delves into how mainstream platforms like Rotten Tomatoes manipulate reviews to favor leftist perspectives. Crowder highlights that negative reviews of "Ironheart" by traditional audiences are often excluded, skewing public perception and masking genuine criticism.
Notable Quote:
"Rotten Tomatoes has become aware of this. Disney has a lot of pull where when you see... the bad reviews were taken off. So 65% is a lie."
— Steven Crowder [52:55]
In a lighter, albeit controversial segment, Crowder mocks New Zealand’s public service announcement promoting the country as the best place to have herpes. The discussion satirizes attempts to destigmatize certain conditions, arguing that some stigmas are necessary for public health and moral standards.
Notable Quote:
"New Zealand is the best place to be a pedophile. We want you. That's right. We're known for three things. Hippies, kiwis, and pedophiles."
— Steven Crowder [60:41]
Crowder wraps up the episode by reiterating the importance of recognizing and celebrating conservative victories while maintaining accountability for leftist policies. He underscores the transparency achieved through platforms like Rumble, contrasting it with the perceived distortion from traditional media outlets.
Notable Quote:
"We just don't want to go to war with Russia. You know what's good for America? Not being at war with Russia. You know what's good for America? Iran? Not having nukes."
— Steven Crowder [27:19]
Final Thoughts: This episode of Louder with Crowder serves as a comprehensive commentary on current political dynamics, media bias, and cultural shifts. By intertwining political analysis with satirical critiques of popular media, Crowder aims to engage and inform his audience about the perceived successes of conservative policies and the challenges posed by progressive agendas.
