Episode: Did Iran Just Blow Up A US Warship?!

Host: Steven Crowder
Date: May 4, 2026

---

Overview

In this politically charged and irreverent episode, Steven Crowder and his panel (including Devon Sala and Josh Firestein) tackle several hot-button issues: the claims about Iran sinking a U.S. warship, gender roles and workplace realities in the context of feminist narratives, the Spirit Airlines shutdown, and the controversy around H1B workers after a high-profile sexual harassment claim at JP Morgan. Crowder aims to debunk viral misinformation, vent about corporate and social absurdities, and argue for American-first policies—using his trademark combination of sarcasm, parody, and pointed social commentary.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Iran "Sinking" a U.S. Warship: Viral Misinformation and Fact-Checking

[54:10–63:56]

• Main Claim Debunked: Viral video and Iranian state media claimed the Iranian Navy sunk a U.S. warship near Jask Island—a story picked up and widely believed online.
  • Crowder: “People were circulating this going, see, this is a disaster... It’s not true. That video is actually from 2016, showing a decommissioned American ship sunk during exercises.” (56:47)
• CENTCOM Response: The U.S. military denied any ships had been struck and clarified that current Navy operations are enforcing a blockade.
  • Josh Firestein: "Iranian state media claims that Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps hit a U.S. warship with two missiles. Truth: No U.S. navy ships have been struck." (58:10)
• Crowder’s Frustration with Misinformation:
  • “To say that we are losing makes you Code Pink. To say that they are destroying American ships when it’s not true... makes you a propaganda mouthpiece for the Iranian regime.” (65:35)
• Status of the War:
  • U.S. has destroyed much of Iran's navy (90%) and air defenses (80%); oil revenues are down 72%; U.S. public mostly supports the operation's outcome but wants a swift end.

2. Gender Roles, Feminist Narratives & Workplace Statistics

[02:15–25:54]

• Critique of UN "Any Job Is a Woman's Job" Campaign:
  • Crowder mocks “Any job is a woman’s job” posts and juxtaposes them with workplace death statistics and physically demanding, male-dominated jobs.
    • “92% of workplace deaths in the United States are men. ...Any job is a woman’s job? Okay, then why is that the case?” (16:04)
• Workplace Realities:
  • Offers support for traditional roles, arguing that men and women generally self-select into different jobs due to interests and strengths.
  • Showcases hazardous jobs (oil rig workers, plumbers, miners, sailors) and the disproportionately male workforce in those roles.
    • “The wage gap is not a thing. You now have it explained. Not all jobs are women's jobs. It's that simple.” (25:45)
• Notable Exchange:
  • Jokes and sarcasm are used liberally, e.g., “Any job is a woman's job. Especially a hijab.” (15:01, Josh Firestein).
• Crowder’s Position:
  • “Find yourself a man who goes, ‘Of course not’ [when asked if women can do everything men can do]. ...Because you’re not able to find that, that’s a better starting off point.” (26:49)

3. H1B Visa Controversy and JP Morgan Scandal

[38:00–53:28]

• Case Overview:
  • Crowder reviews the scandal where an Indian American employee at JP Morgan filed (and quickly withdrew) a sexual harassment suit against a female boss, making wild, groundless claims.
    • “You thought it’d be Dalsam. He’s not stretching. So, 35 years old, comes from a pretty wealthy family... since 2014, he has had at least eight employers. That’s not great.” (40:24)
    • “He originally alleged that this JP Morgan executive had called him, quote, her little brown boy, her little Arab boy toy.” (41:12)
• Critique of H1B System:
  • Crowder argues the U.S. is flooded with unqualified or nepotistic H1B hires, undermining American workers.
    • “It's one where you can definitely say the Democrat Party, the Republican Party, they're basically one and the same. No one is doing enough about this." (44:34)
  • Provides case studies (Disney, SoCal Edison) where American workers were forced to train foreign replacements.
    • “Walt Disney. 250 IT workers were replaced by foreign Indian workers in 90 days... Southern California Edison, 400–500 IT workers replaced in eight months.” (46:14)
  • Accuses Indian H1B communities of “ethnic nepotism” making it hard for Americans (especially minorities) to keep or get jobs.
    • “If you get to the point where there’s a certain percentage [of H1Bs], …they will force out white Americans because you are a white American." (45:16)
• Prescription:
  • “No more H1BS. Not reform. Scrap it. That’s where we are.” (53:27)

4. Spirit Airlines Shuts Down

[30:00–37:42]

• Announcement & Reaction:
  • Crowder and crew mock Spirit’s low standards, bad service, and customer brawls.
    • “Spirit airline. Let me. …they’re ending operations.” (29:59)
  • Discusses the blocked JetBlue merger; defends letting companies merge or die without bailouts.
    • “I don’t think any of these airlines should be bailed out. And I think they should be allowed to merge. Yes, of course.” (32:19)
  • “It is hell in the sky. And by the way, they are now selling their old equipment to Greyhound.” (33:06)
• Airline Industry Rant:
  • Jokes about the type of passengers Spirit attracts and the consequences for other airlines.
  • Suggests dress codes and bans for unruly passengers:
    • “If you start a fight in an airport, you’re gone. You’re banned for life.” (36:15)

---

5. Reflections on Geopolitics, Europe, and U.S. Alliances

[67:57–71:13]

• Restructuring International Partnerships:
  • Crowder critiques European nations for failing to help in international crises despite recognizing threats (specifically, Iran).
    • “These European nations have said, well, Iran is a threat. …We’re just not going to do it.” (67:57)
  • Points to U.S. troop withdrawals from Germany as a consequence of weak European support.
    • “May 1, the United States pulled 5,000 troops from Germany for exactly this reason.” (68:29)
• Final Word:
  • “My problem is not with disagreements or different approaches. My problem is with the lie.” (69:53)

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• Steven Crowder on Fake News & Virality:
  “People were circulating this... It’s not true. That video is actually from 2016, showing a decommissioned American ship sunk during exercises.” (56:47)

• Crowder on Wartime Benchmarks:
  “Can you please define for me what a forever war is? ...We're at day 65. Is a one year war a forever war? …If four days is a forever war, is that your parameter?” (58:01–59:33)

• Devon Sala's Observations on Gender & Work:
  “Apparently, it’s kind for everybody just to get rid of President Trump. I guess I’m saying that nicely...” (12:04)
  (sarcastically referencing the pinata incident.)

• Crowder Riffing on Indian H1B Workers:
  “How did this guy get this job? He can’t write English. Just basic English. He can’t spell. He wasn’t able to cover his tracks.” (43:44)

• Josh Firestein on Airline Dress Codes:
  “I don’t know if you’ve been to an airport recently. But they just fly nude. Basically, yeah. There’s just butt cheeks all through the terminal...” (37:02)

Tone & Style

• Irreverently Conservative:
  • Crowder’s signature blend of sarcasm, parody (including musical numbers and fake commercials), and rapid-fire takedowns sets an informal, mocking tone.
• Fact-Check Focused:
  • Despite the snark, Crowder repeatedly insists on “balls and strikes”—demanding evidence and pushing back on viral disinformation.
• Panel Banter:
  • Regular back-and-forth with co-hosts, allowing for comic relief and smooth pivoting between serious commentary and biting satire.

---

Summary for Non-Listeners

In this episode, Crowder dissociates viral hysteria about Iran supposedly sinking a U.S. warship by presenting evidence to the contrary, lampoons both leftist and corporate talking points surrounding gender and workplace statistics, and attacks the structure and outcomes of the H1B worker system, especially as it relates to job loss for Americans. Discussions of the Spirit Airlines collapse and broader geopolitical alliances round out a dense but briskly paced session, interspersed with jokes and trademark irreverence—but always anchored by a call for fact-based discussion and skepticism toward both mainstream and viral narratives.

If you want a fiery, opinionated, and at times outrageous conservative take on the week's controversies—with plenty of fact-checking and lampooning thrown in—this episode covers all the bases.

Welcome it's Monday. Welcome to the lineup live here on Rumble, starting in the morning, all the way through the evening. By the way, get well soon. Nick DePaolo, he was in the hospital, had a close call, but he's doing better now, so we're glad he's out. Today we're going to be talking about Women are able to do everything men can do. Except they can't. This Is the UN saying, like, ah, we need to get women doing all these jobs. We're going to walk through what that looks like in the propaganda versus, hey, how we can actually help each other out as a society. The JP Morgan scandal, you know, the Asian fish head wife does, who doesn't have cannons like the white lady at J.P. morgan. That was the actual phrase that this, what's the term, Haji, I think, is allowed made up for sexual assault. But here's the thing. Are you aware of how bad things get at a company once you reach a certain tipping point of H1BS? No one's conducted a formal study, but we have about four or five case studies. Once you get past 30% or you get Indian H1BS in positions of management, the ethnic nepotism is unbridled and you get to 90% in a period of months, in some cases years, you will cease to have American employees. Hey, how's that looking out for the United States and Iran? Look, we're at day 65. I want to ask you something. If you could go back in time, because we are going to be coming up on midterms and I hear people saying that everything is the same. If you could go back in time and, and tell yourself, look, there's going to be a conflict with Iran, it's going to last several months, it's going to cost, let's say, 30, $50 billion. There'll be some lives lost, but you're going to have net negative migration and you're going to have actually the most secure border you've had in your lifetime. You're going to have some executive orders that declare there are two everything that we've accomplished here just these last few months, really, but also a continuation of the first term of Donald Trump, would you take it or would you do away with all of it, knowing that the plan. And James Carville has talked about this, what the left wants to do is impeach Trump, lame duck him, and then they want to pack the court and they want to undo everything that has been done. That's everything as it relates to immigration, as it relates to voting regulations, as it relates to Dobbs, to Roe v. Wade, all of that. That's their plan. Undo all of it. Would you undo all of it? And if you would, then it needs to be based on truth. We're going to go through some viral posts that have been circulating and they're flat out false. They are flat out false. We'll show you the claims. We'll show you the truth, including doctored video. We are in a post truth era and I think we need to be careful with that. So we'll talk about that more. What is the.

It's the darndest thing. I was walking across the street the

[Devon Sala]

other day, and then out of nowhere, a Dodge Magnum plows right into me, takes me out.

[Steven Crowder]

Should have taken your foundation.

[Devon Sala]

What would a multivitamin help with a car crash?

[Steven Crowder]

Well, if you think about it, the amount of time it would take you to open the bottle and take your daily dose, put it in your mouth and chug it down with some water. Probably would take about, I don't know, what we say 9:12 seconds. Is that fair? Sure. At that point, the car would have been on its way and never would've hit you. You'd be fine. Yeah. Like the butterfly effect. More like foundation. Destination. Final destination. I'm Devon Sala. You'd be the guy from Dawson's Creek who dies first. He was gay.

[Josh Firestein]

Okay.

[Steven Crowder]

Proven science. Zero secrets. That's your foundation. Visit foundationdaily.com today. Subscribe. Save 40% off for life. Maybe he was by. I know. Got to be with you. I forgot to ask the question of the day. What are you going to miss most about Spirit Airlines? The in flight meal. Yes.

[Devon Sala]

Wonderful customer service.

[Steven Crowder]

I had someone say at the end of comma, if there's anything else that we can assist you with. The answer is no, because this is Spirit. They actually said it like they knew that about themselves.

[Devon Sala]

And no, it's not because we're going out of business today. This is just normal policy.

[Steven Crowder]

This is just Spirit Airlines.

[Josh Firestein]

Did they talk to you like you were dumb? What are you doing? This is Spirit Airlines.

[Steven Crowder]

No, but I did get. I did get accosted by a gay male flight attendant, but that's Par for the course. Captain Morgan, CEO, how are you?

[Devon Sala]

Fantastic. Having never had that happen, he handed

[Steven Crowder]

me the small bottle of water, really, in a way that I couldn't. I couldn't receive the receptacle from him without touching his hands between his legs. He held it like this. He goes, here you go. And so I went, just drop it like that.

[Josh Firestein]

Toss it to me.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah. It's got to be really tough to be a gay male flight attendant and be spirit like you'd want to be Pan Am, the sort of glitz of the sky, and instead, you know, it's just a Waffle House.

[Josh Firestein]

Depends on what kind of guy you're into.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, well, you know what? Maybe this was planned all along. And, oh, by the way, I haven't introduced you. When you hear him, you know him, you love him, not Firestein on X. Josh Firestein. How are you? Hello.

[Josh Firestein]

Excellent.

[Steven Crowder]

Good.

[Josh Firestein]

Good show in Oklahoma.

[Steven Crowder]

Nice people, very fun. Here's fun, too. No good segue for the first segment on a Monday. Here's a woman wearing a shirt that says kindness. White woman. But you knew this. Hitting a Trump pinata. Because this does something, By the way. Complete disregard for the guy holding it. She could easily hit him.

[Josh Firestein]

Poor guy.

[Steven Crowder]

Make America kind again.

[Josh Firestein]

Get a strong stance there, though. That's nice. Oh, okay.

[Steven Crowder]

Well, it's not your turn code. And knock knee. She's not even hitting a. A leverage point.

[Josh Firestein]

Grandma's getting her steps in.

[Steven Crowder]

Do unto others as you would have them do unto you. That's what it says.

[Josh Firestein]

I get the golden rule from the golden girl.

[Steven Crowder]

Yes, excellent. I will say. I mean, it's obviously, this is scary because you see someone who's unhinged, right? And obviously they have a proclivity toward violence. The good news is that they are both weak and uncoordinated. So that's. I mean, that's a silver lining. They have no capabilities. You know, it far outpaces their desire. I guess you would say, do unto others as you would have done unto you. Your wish is my command, said commander in Chief, I'm gonna do it. And this is just what the left does. They justify their violence by going, well, he is. Yeah, do unto others. Well, he's the violent one. Tell me, who has he violently hurt? Himself? That's what you see when you see the people who, you know, obviously assassinated Charlie Kirk, who try and take President Trump's life out, yours truly. They justify going, well, really, you're the fascist, you're the Nazi, so it's fine. They mean do unto others. Just not half of America's voting bloc.

[Devon Sala]

Yeah. So apparently it's kind for everybody just to get rid of President Trump. I guess I'm saying that nicely because I don't want to run afoul of, like, the FBI or the Department of Justice.

[Josh Firestein]

Yeah. And there's no candy inside of him.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah. I mean, I don't know, because she didn't break it. And that was a long video.

[Josh Firestein]

I think eventually the Hispanic woman who thought it was her turn.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah.

[Josh Firestein]

Came in and broke it.

[Steven Crowder]

But also, shouldn't she be advising them? Like, no one's even blindfolded. You're just. You're just hitting a doll. That's right. You're supposed to be blindfolded. You're just hitting a doll. That's all this is true. It's basically just a hate crime.

[Josh Firestein]

There's no skill in that.

[Steven Crowder]

No. And they still didn't do it.

[Josh Firestein]

And the guy, he wasn't even pulling.

[Steven Crowder]

No, he was holding it stable. For a lady with a metal pole who had perfectly clear vision and she still couldn't break the pinata, you need

[Josh Firestein]

somebody's borracho tio, drunk uncle. Like, doing.

[Steven Crowder]

Is that Spanish for drunk uncle?

[Josh Firestein]

It's, like, really bad Spanish translation, drunk uncle, but it works.

[Steven Crowder]

Well, speaking of drunk uncle, I think there are a few drunk ants around, because if you're looking at the international committees and you're looking at the propaganda that's being put out there right now, of course, it takes one side of the equation into consideration and not the other. Women. Women are the future. We've been told that for a very long time. Well, the future is now. And women are just as capable as men at doing whatever it is that men be and do. Right. This iron worker has made a successful career for herself.

[Advertiser 3]

I love physical work.

[Steven Crowder]

Truck drivers, typically to society, are men. So women have been trucking for years, and we're just as good as men are.

[Josh Firestein]

I believe she is.

[Devon Sala]

Oh, you got recycling duty.

[Steven Crowder]

And by the way, if you want to do it, fine. No one's stopping you. No one is. No one is standing by garbage trucks and rejecting you from doing it.

[Devon Sala]

That would be very easy.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, it would be very, very easy. Are you aware of the strength differential? It's not like. It's not like 50, 50. It's not like 60, 40. It's not even like 80, 20. It's basically 95% of men are stronger than the strongest women, meaning average. It's just. It's not even close. And that means. Here's the thing. That means we have different roles, different jobs. Isn't that a good thing? Well, the problem is when you look at feminists, they want to take one part into the equation into consideration and not the other. So International Workers Day, the UN women, they posted this on their X. Any job is a woman's job. Any job is a woman's job. Any job is a woman's job. Any job is a woman's job. Any job is a woman's job. Any job as a woman's job. Any job as a woman's job. Megaphone emoji will keep repeating it and then they don't repeat it after doing it, like 19 times this international Workers Day and every day. Okay.

[Devon Sala]

Nothing like playing into the stereotype.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah.

[Josh Firestein]

Any job is a woman's job. Especially a hijab.

[Steven Crowder]

Yes.

[Josh Firestein]

Surprised there wasn't a clap emoji before

[Steven Crowder]

every one of those.

[Josh Firestein]

I know.

[Steven Crowder]

Would it have been better if they wrote it once and say, we'll keep repeating it, then write it the other nine times? Yeah, it's like any job. Okay, we're going to. We're going to keep repeating at it.

[Josh Firestein]

And then they didn't repeat it after.

[Steven Crowder]

They didn't repeat it at all.

[Josh Firestein]

I was expecting one more. Any job as a woman's job.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, and the funny thing is, like, copy editor is clearly a woman's job and they don't even have one.

[Josh Firestein]

Oh, geez.

[Steven Crowder]

Doing it. So look, and I don't. If you want to do the job, fine, but there's a lot of normalcy, bias out there. People just go, oh, you know, there are no privileges that women have that men don't have. Right. They usually say that men do. They can't name one. Well, okay, the draft. Like there's going to be a draft. Why do people. Can you comment? Why do people think that's some outlandish idea? Yeah, Almost every generation before you, at least a portion of them had to face that. And we still have to register for the draft. Do you really think that that won't come into play at some point in our lifetime? I mean, it's far more likely than not.

[Josh Firestein]

Some people still living were drafted.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, yeah, exactly.

[Josh Firestein]

That exists. They are around.

[Steven Crowder]

Well, let's take this into consideration, too. Look, remember, 92% of workplace deaths in the United States are men. 94% in the UK the lowest you find is 91. You'll find it all the way up to like 98% of workplace deaths are men. Any job is a woman's job. Okay, well then why is that the case? Well, here's the thing. I don't have a problem. It's because of job selection. They have different priorities. Men will choose higher risk, higher reward jobs, or men will choose jobs that are more risky to their personal well being. Let me give you some examples of any job being a woman's job that they choose not to do as a job. Soldiers in Ukraine. If you look at the Russian side, a million killed or wounded. Ukrainian side, 250 to 300 something, thousand killed or wounded. 99.9% of all casualties are male. 99.9% of ALL casualties are male. And again, these are people being forced into the military against their will. So why do you think the numbers pan out like that? Well, let me give you some visual aids. This is what it looks like. And all we're saying here is a thank you might be in order. Just a thank you. Not male privilege, patriarchy. Just a thank you. Let's go on to the other difficult jobs that are very necessary for societies to function. Here's the big thing. Women in general don't do maintenance jobs. They don't maintain infrastructure. They're not interested in it. That's fine. Just understand that someone needs to do it. Offshore oil rigs. 96% of rig workers are men. 96%. Where are the women signing up? Well, let me show you what it looks like.

[Josh Firestein]

Then disaster struck. Thankfully, everyone involved walked away unharmed. Jeez, things going down pretty quick.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah. A sparkly ignites the escaping gas and

[Josh Firestein]

an explosion rips through the rig.

[Steven Crowder]

Confronted by 700 degree flames, most of

[Josh Firestein]

the 226 strong crew are now either dead or severely injured. A total of 167 men lost their lives that night.

[Devon Sala]

Wow.

[Steven Crowder]

Just 61 survived. Found the wage gap.

[Josh Firestein]

Yeah. Can't be on your period there.

[Steven Crowder]

No. Oh, very true.

[Josh Firestein]

Sharks that smell, blood in the water.

[Steven Crowder]

You know, we just assume this people go like, well, you know, it's a really discriminatory. Because a woman, you know, they, they have to leave and they have children and they need maternity leave and then, you know, employers should pay that. Why? Why, why in any other scenario, why would I hire someone who I know is going to be gone for let's say 2, 3, 4, 5 months and have to hire a temp and replace them. Why isn't that the right of the employer to be like, oh, okay, well thanks, we might fill that spot because we need someone to do it. We just assume it's fairness. It's a business. Let's go to the next job. Plumbers 97% of plumbers in the United States are men. By the way, these are good paying jobs. Matter of fact, these are better paying jobs than most jobs that those with college degrees find immediately after college. Here's what that looks like.

[Josh Firestein]

Right in the mouth.

[Steven Crowder]

He's laughing.

[Josh Firestein]

Probably a lady's pipes, too. Yuck, dude. Oh, he's swimming in it. Dude, belly. What's going on, guys?

[Steven Crowder]

See that?

[Josh Firestein]

During.

[Steven Crowder]

You guys can see we're in a

[Josh Firestein]

laundry room today and got poop all over the floor.

[Steven Crowder]

That's a health hazard, literally. Yes, it is. This one I can't watch. Oh, my God. Dude, turn away. I just. I can't watch it.

[Josh Firestein]

Wait for it. Oh, no. Nap time.

[Devon Sala]

Don't worry. Poop.

[Josh Firestein]

That was gross. They didn't even have jets on that tub.

[Steven Crowder]

And if you want. And if you want to read up more on this, of course we provide our references every single day. Weekdays, 11am Eastern. You can check the link in the sidebar. 92% workplace deaths are men. Let's just face reality and let's go. Okay. We have different roles. We make different choices. Let's work together as opposed to against one another. Let's go to mine workers. 90% of tin, tungsten, lot of a lot of metals, a lot of minerals that we need. They're men. The workers, especially in the Democratic Republic of Congo, they're men. They don't really have the same kind of feminists there. So 90%. Here's what that looks like. It's hard to find an accurate figure,

but some researchers estimate at least 2,000 miners get killed each year. Miners often die instantly, crushed beneath falling cobalt and dirt.

[Steven Crowder]

4,000 miners flocked to the area to chance their luck with basic equipment, at best, a crowbar, but usually with their bare hands. By the way, they're mining the minerals that are needed for a smartphone to be created, from which the UN Women's Council can tweet. All jobs are women's jobs. Go do it. Can they give that miner something better than a piece of rebar?

[Devon Sala]

No.

[Josh Firestein]

A woman would have thought of a better tool.

[Steven Crowder]

Large section of the site we filmed

[Josh Firestein]

just days after early have completely caved in.

[Steven Crowder]

Hundreds of miners were inside when the ground gave way. He meant to say hundreds of men. Yes. Let's go to sailors. 98% of sailors are men. A lot of people take for granted that sailing is still pretty important when you're talking about shipping and keeping an economy running. Here's what that looks like.

[Josh Firestein]

That's going, man.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, that's going to suck anyone down with it. Somebody left. The engine's running in. Oh, that's. I don't think it's supposed to bend like that.

[Josh Firestein]

No, it's not a nunchuck.

[Steven Crowder]

But guys, the teachers are the real heroes.

[Josh Firestein]

Yes. Also, no one thinks about, you know, this job.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah.

[Josh Firestein]

Having to actually raid the boat.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah. It's usually meant take people hostage. Yeah.

[Josh Firestein]

That's usually men.

[Steven Crowder]

Just remember this when you come. It's like my day just. It's. It's the most important job, as we all agree. Teacher and I had this kid who wouldn't listen and there was an accident. We had to clean it up. And the husband, like. Yeah. My day looked like Rainbow six.

[Josh Firestein]

It was a game, huh?

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah.

[Devon Sala]

No, it's fun.

[Steven Crowder]

Must be fun playing games with friends.

[Josh Firestein]

You call someone the N word.

[Steven Crowder]

I'm training up the next generation. I mean, I don't know if it's more important than Cindy's. She's a nurse. And that too is the most. Those people are also the real heroes. Everyone's the real hero except the actual heroes. That's where we find it. All jobs are women's. Well, why aren't they fighting for equality there? And here's the thing. I'm not. I'm saying, of course men should be doing those jobs because they're more capable. I'm not the one lying to you. The issue is, and I think this is a big part of the breakdown in communications and relationships between the two genders. The things that men bring to the table. Now women bring obviously unique facets to the table that men can't and men do. That's the Christian worldview. Right. We compliment each other. What men bring to the table that's exclusive to them is very often taken for granted in the modern world. Providing, protecting, laying down your life. These are things that are just taking. It's like, well, you may not have to do that. We're talking about the day to day. That's no small thing. That's no small thing. And throughout all of human history, that's what you did. Okay. The stronger sex went out, hunted went out, fought wars. The weaker physically sex stayed home and took care in a supporting role so that you could be as effective as possible as a unit. And the reason that men understand this inherently is because then if you go, you go with that man who's out there waging war, who's out there hunting, guess what? He's a part of a male unit. And there's a hierarchy there where the person who's Maybe not as good of a shot. They may be on lookout, someone who's not as physically capable. They may do intel, they may do recon. We know where we are forced to work as teams and go, okay, what are our unique attributes? What are our strengths? Let's put them together. For some reason, when applying it to the family, however, it's offensive. It's the only unit that we don't apply that same form of hierarchy or logic to. We always did, and now we're too busy complaining.

[Devon Sala]

Yeah, we've made it too comfortable. Men, men just, like, looked up and were like, wait a minute. Like, I'm not forcing you to do anything. For most men, right. They're just saying, like, hey, when you say something that is completely, like, outrageous, it's completely outside the bounds of reality. And then brow beat me.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah.

[Devon Sala]

In this situation, I was like, well, wait, what are we. Are we having the same conversation?

[Steven Crowder]

92% workplace deaths, man. 94. And you can. There you go. That's it. It's done. There's the wage gap. The wage gap is not a thing. You now have it explained. Not all jobs are women's jobs. It's that simple.

[Devon Sala]

And that's fine.

[Steven Crowder]

Either because you can't do it or you don't want to do it. There you go. Let's talk when women can at least pass the driving test. How about that? I don't even. That's like how I used to play with my crash test dummy cars as a kid. I know. That seemed to defy the physics that you would think transpire.

[Josh Firestein]

I'm impressed by that light pole. Yeah.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah.

[Josh Firestein]

That thing was like a offensive lineman. He held his ground.

[Devon Sala]

I don't know why she gunned it like, I've made this. There's the mistake here and then a mistake here.

[Steven Crowder]

I'm going for it. Yeah.

[Devon Sala]

There's no reason.

[Steven Crowder]

Well, the only way to get over this mistake is through faster.

[Devon Sala]

I'll do better at high speed.

[Steven Crowder]

And young women, look, if you are bothered by. Find yourself a man who. When you go, so do you think that women can do everything men can do? Find yourself a man who goes, of course not. That's the man you want. Just don't fall for the white knighting, the virtue signaling. I think women are strongest and no. Find a man who goes, no, no, of course not. But, you know, I'll die for my wife and family. I'll do that. Because you're not able to find that that's a better starting off point. Everything you have been Told is wrong. I'll bet you that women also can't sell a mortgage company as well as us men here can.

[Josh Firestein]

It's the weirdest thing. It's like I was in a coma for 20 years and I'm just now waking up. How's this look?

[Steven Crowder]

It looks great. It's gonna work. It's working. Yeah.

[Devon Sala]

What the hell are you guys doing?

[Steven Crowder]

The parody commercial for American Beauty.

[Devon Sala]

American financing, Stephen. Well, what. What does this have to do with financing?

[Steven Crowder]

It's got American in the name. I finance the flowers. No, just.

[Devon Sala]

Just please shut it down. Shut it down. Okay. This is a waste of time. Josh, put on some clothes.

[Steven Crowder]

I still have three more payments on the flower.

[Josh Firestein]

No, no.

[Steven Crowder]

Spirit airline. Let me. How do you look at this? Spirit airlines done right. They're ending operations.

[Devon Sala]

That's a celebration.

[Steven Crowder]

Well, here's. I'm very happy that the bailout did not come to be right. I did not like that they only needed $500 million. What? They only needed $500 million. That sounds like 500 million too much for spirit. Yes.

[Devon Sala]

Wasted dollars.

[Steven Crowder]

But I also don't like that all of the people who are flying Spirit are now going to scatter to other airlines.

[Devon Sala]

I know we had everybody that we wanted on Spirit. On Spirit, yes. And now.

[Steven Crowder]

So you guys let me know they

[Devon Sala]

may end up next to it.

[Steven Crowder]

It's a double edged sword. The point is you're gonna have someone in pajamas in a weave sooner or later on your Delta flight. That's the way this goes.

[Devon Sala]

Delta's going for it.

[Steven Crowder]

So they are done. 20, 25. Spirit lost $2.7 billion.

[Devon Sala]

They're trying.

[Steven Crowder]

They tried to merge with JetBlue and was blocked after the Biden administration sued. Which is just kind of funny because they say, oh, it'll eliminate competition.

[Devon Sala]

Yeah.

[Steven Crowder]

Now I understand too, when you look at antitrust and you look at laws that relate to monopolies and, and Teddy Roosevelt had a lot to do with that. I get it. I do understand that. In this case, though, is Spirit gone? Is that better for the market? Yeah. Does that make it more competitive? We sort of went through this when you used to have Verizon and AT&T. Remember that? And then there were distant second and thirds, T Mobile and Sprint. And when they finally merged, actually for quite a few people, T Mobile is a better deal now. So, yeah, a tripopoly is better than a duopoly with airlines. Why was this stop? That seems like a big swing and a miss.

[Josh Firestein]

It's not the first merger either. It's not like unprecedented move here.

[Steven Crowder]

No. And it's not like. It's not like there wouldn't be plenty of other smaller.

[Devon Sala]

And it was regional airlines. It was struggling at the time.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah.

[Devon Sala]

The whole reason this was to avoid bankruptcy back then. There was no secret to this.

[Josh Firestein]

It's also not like two airlines that are wildly successful merging, you know, like Delta and American or something, Right?

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, exactly. Right. Now, Elizabeth Warren did post this. She posted, I've warned for months that a JetBlue Spirit Airlines merger would have led to fewer flights and higher fares. And she replied, justice, ATR and US DOT were right to stand up for consumers and fight against runaway airline consolidation. This is a Biden win for Flyers. Isn't it? Kind of funny just that this is the woman who's advocated for too big to fail businesses and companies. And so they either go bankrupt. Right. They could merge and they could become profitable.

[Devon Sala]

Right.

[Steven Crowder]

That's blocked. And then when they go under, if they're big enough, they'll just be bailed out and you end up with a CEO who gets a golden parachute of $130 million. That's why a lot of these people support the Democrat party. I don't think that any of these airlines should be bailed out. And I think they should be allowed to merge. Yes, of course. It's the exact opposite of what we've taken. We've been bailing out airlines for decades. Don't bail them out, allow them to merge. Let's go a different direction, see if air flight gets better.

[Devon Sala]

Get these politicians out of this because they have no idea. That was a two year old tweet that she put out celebrating this blocked merger. Get them out of the process. Because it leads to days like we saw over the weekend where an airline just literally ceases to exist overnight.

[Steven Crowder]

Right? I mean, Spirit is mostly to blame themselves. Let's be honest. There's an awful, awful place.

[Devon Sala]

But they were trying to merge. They knew they couldn't survive on their own, so they had to do something else.

[Steven Crowder]

It is hell in the sky. And by the way, they are now selling their old equipment to Greyhound. So hey, you guys, can.

[Devon Sala]

You do have to put the planes to use.

[Steven Crowder]

And some airport vendors obviously are feeling the hit a little more than others. That's only natural. Hold up. I thought it was gonna be boat. Mr. Boat jangles in Charlotte. I always stopped there whenever I used to have a. I used to have a stopover in Charlotte. I'd go to Bojangles. You have a stopover. You just have to bob and weave when you're picking up three piece. So I know people online have done this, but of course, we have done closing time for, gosh, half a decade now. And we couldn't go without it. From us, from the bottom of our heart to you, fan of Spirit Airlines, we bring you Spirit. Time to close. We're going to be ceasing operations at 3:00am Eastern Time today. Met a lot of friends along the way.

[Josh Firestein]

Time to close. Endings and beginnings are ending and beginning.

[Steven Crowder]

Now go suck another dirty. Don't play with me. You're not playing. I'm gonna get on this play or not. All right, so everyone's gonna shut up

[Advertiser 3]

and we're gonna say this once and

[Steven Crowder]

we're only gonna say say it again because we're frustrated as hell.

[Josh Firestein]

Time to close. Endings and beginnings are ending and beginning.

[Steven Crowder]

A tussle on the tarmac. This fight breaking out on a recent flight right after it arrived in Boston. A Spirit Airlines passenger flying to Nashville has been arrested after allegedly, allegedly assaulting two flight attendants. Keep my name out your mouth. I'M not doing anything. I'm not doing anything. Oh, my God.

[Josh Firestein]

Time to close. Endings and beginnings are ending and beginning now.

[Steven Crowder]

I said what I said and I said what I said.

[Devon Sala]

The final Spirit flight touched down at Dallas Fort Worth International just after midnight. Here, here.

[Steven Crowder]

You can see it is completely empty now because Spirit has shut down. It was a pleasure working with you guys and I wish you the best.

[Josh Firestein]

I know that it's time for things to close. I know that it's time for things to close.

[Steven Crowder]

Fight me before I snap the out. You're not going to snag. Try me.

[Josh Firestein]

Try me.

[Steven Crowder]

Where are we going to get our

[Devon Sala]

airport fight videos from?

[Steven Crowder]

Oh, I'm sure they'll move to front frontier.

[Josh Firestein]

Dude, frontier is also terrible.

[Devon Sala]

It didn't used to be perfect.

[Josh Firestein]

Oh, they're like a rip off is what they are. Like, they tell you the price is like. You say you got $100 ticket.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah.

[Josh Firestein]

You buy your ticket and then you don't have a seat.

[Steven Crowder]

Right.

[Josh Firestein]

They're like, okay, now you choose a seat.

[Steven Crowder]

Oh, you want.

[Josh Firestein]

There's none of them that are already included. Like, there's no seat included.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, it's like.

[Josh Firestein]

And then you pay for bags. It's a whole thing.

[Steven Crowder]

What if someone released, you know, first off, the race to the cheapest airfare ticket has never been a successful business model. It's never been one that works out really well. What if someone was a low cost airline, said, we've a dress code, right. We're actually going to have a code of conduct as well. You know, they reserve the right to revoke your ticket if you are not behaving, if you start anything at the terminal. And we should have bans for life from flight. What about if we did that? You think flying might be more pleasant? Hey, if you start a fight in an airport, you're gone. You're banned for life. You show up high. If you commit an act of violence, if you delay a flight with selfish, narcissistic behavior for everybody else, you're banned for life. And just institute some basic dress codes and decorum. You guys comment. You think that that might be a solution? I think it's a start.

[Josh Firestein]

I think dress codes are definitely something we should be doing anyway at the. I don't know if you've been to an airport recently.

[Devon Sala]

Terrible.

[Josh Firestein]

But they just fly nude. Basically, yeah. There's just butt cheeks all through the terminal. I'm not even kid, dude. Nip slips galore, dude.

[Steven Crowder]

It's.

[Josh Firestein]

It's crazy different.

[Steven Crowder]

I won't even Fly in shorts. Just cuz I don't want the guy next to me to be maybe, you know, feel like he has to rub up on my hairy legs.

[Devon Sala]

Well, yeah. Do you spread on the plane?

[Steven Crowder]

No, I don't man. Spread on the plane. I wouldn't like you next to me in shorts. And so I don't wear them. That's true.

[Devon Sala]

Because we're both giants on an airplane that's not built for us.

[Josh Firestein]

Well, you can both afford first class, so why don't you chill out?

[Devon Sala]

Oh yeah. Really?

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah.

[Devon Sala]

You're gonna be paying first class?

[Steven Crowder]

I just avoid flying and I drive wherever I can.

[Devon Sala]

Never.

[Steven Crowder]

Unless it's absolutely necessary. I hate it. There are few places on earth I hate more than airports.

[Devon Sala]

It's true.

[Steven Crowder]

Speaking of solutions, let's go to this next the JP Morgan story. Okay, it's hilarious for a multitude of reasons, but this really is the story of H1BS and a broken system. I don't think that we are at the point where it can be reformed. I think we need to scrap it completely. The system that we have.

[Devon Sala]

Yeah.

[Steven Crowder]

And create an entirely new system in its place. Does that mean we get rid of. Yeah, that means we reexamine all H1BS. The default is gone and you have to prove yourself. I think it's far too broken beyond repair. You let me know what you think. So this was the sexual harassment story that you probably heard. It was an Indian man. He was not identified initially and he basically just revealed his personal fantasies. You know, let's hit the song first. Tool man. He was an Indian man who accused a very attractive white woman in a position of management of basically making him her brown boy sex slave. These were the words. And of course, here's the thing. When I first read this story, I go, okay, a white woman, she's pretty. An Indian man. I don't need to see any more to know this is not true. I just. I drew a conclusion immediately, but it didn't turn out as the JEET expected. He was a JEET defaming a girl. And now it's so glaringly obvious she wasn't his Boss.

[Advertiser 3]

Was he H1B?

[Steven Crowder]

He lied about aggressive bombs in the genie. He was a scammer boy. Now he will be unemployed. Cheats are the most brazen swindlers on earth.

[Josh Firestein]

False sexual assault claims. Any job is a woman's job.

[Steven Crowder]

Yes, exactly right.

[Josh Firestein]

It can happen to you too.

[Devon Sala]

Yeah.

[Steven Crowder]

So for those of you who missed it, there have been some updates, but here's a funny newscast about it. They have to treat it as though it's a serious story.

[News Reporter]

A former male employee of JPMorgan Chase has accused a female senior executive.

[Josh Firestein]

Of course, they blurred his face.

[News Reporter]

Completely without merit after an internal investigation. At the center of this case is a man identified by multiple media reports as chirayu Rana, a 35 year old former JP Morgan employee. He initially filed a lawsuit under the pseudonym John Doe, accusing a senior colleague, Lorna Hajj Dini, of repeated John Doe coercion from Memphis. The complaint highlights his identity as an Indian and a brown professional.

[Steven Crowder]

Brown professional

[News Reporter]

harassment and coercion.

[Steven Crowder]

Yep. So now we know who the guy is. Chow Rio. Cha Rio. Yeah, that's. I mean, that's just.

[Devon Sala]

Okay, fine.

[Steven Crowder]

You thought it'd be Dalsam. He's not stretching. So, 35 years old, comes from a pretty wealthy family. They live in a $1.7 million home, by the way, the lawsuit has since been withdrawn. Since 2014, he has had eight, at least eight employers. That's not great.

[Josh Firestein]

Zero girlfriends.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, and then there was a. There was a new report that he actually was looking at his previous job, asking AI how to draft up a sexual assault lawsuit against a company.

[Devon Sala]

Just switched out names and stuff.

[Steven Crowder]

By the way, just hear it from Vivek, the best and brightest. We don't have enough smart Americans to do these jobs. These guys are the best. And I know this guy's American. I get it. But he looks like.

[Josh Firestein]

He looks like Indian Dick dastardly.

[Steven Crowder]

Yes. Yes, he does.

[Josh Firestein]

Pop a mustache and a hat on that guy.

[Steven Crowder]

So he originally. Right. He alleged that this JP Morgan executive had called him, quote, her little brown boy, her little Arab boy toy. I was like, well, that's not something that a woman would say sexually, ever, ever. A white woman is not like. There is no 50 shades of Arab boy toy. It doesn't even.

[Devon Sala]

He's not Arab though, right? He's Indian.

[Steven Crowder]

No, he just. And then he also, like, he. He overreached because none of this is believable. First off, that she would sexually assault him. But then he. I'm pretty up to speed on racial epithets. To be clear, this one was new to me. He said that she made him her sex slave and she would say things like, quote, remember this? I bet your little Asian fish head wife doesn't have these cannons referring to her breasts. It's like, of course that did not happen. Of course this lady did not say, your Asian fish head wife doesn't have these cannons.

[Josh Firestein]

If she did, she sounds pretty cool. Yeah, she sounds like. I Saw the picture and I saw the headline, I was like, this chick's pretty cool.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah.

[Devon Sala]

Yeah.

[Josh Firestein]

No wonder she has that job.

[Steven Crowder]

Now, to be fair, as it relates to the quote, fish head wife, she may have had a point. Is that lingerie? It's lingerie in the bass.

[Devon Sala]

Billy Bass has never seen it so good.

[Steven Crowder]

She also said that the lady. Or. Sorry. He also said that the lady drugged him with both roofies and boner pills. Does that to cover his need to take boner pills.

[Josh Firestein]

Well, that's just the idea because he can't get hard. And he's like, no, I love my wife. My fish head wife. I love her.

[Steven Crowder]

Right? Yeah. I bet you there's a part of this where his wife found out he not with this woman, was probably cheating on her. And he was like, no, it's my boss. She drugged me with boner pills. And I didn't even. It's a medication. I didn't want it. He called you a fish head. Rufy's boner pills threatened his bonus even though he didn't actually work under her. We now know.

[Devon Sala]

Well, that's. That sucks.

[Steven Crowder]

And this was what he wrote to the chatbot. Right? To the AI chatbot. He actually searched this. And here's the thing. He was born here in the States, as I understand it.

[Devon Sala]

Yeah, yeah.

[Steven Crowder]

Still can't write English.

[Devon Sala]

No, that's our bad.

[Steven Crowder]

I was raped. Secuily. Assaulted. Assaulted, assaulted. Both words are wrong. Harassed and forced to do drugs by my former boss at Morgan Stanley. HR conducted an investigation, but they ultimately made me signed a separation agreement.

[Josh Firestein]

What?

[Steven Crowder]

Now, here's the thing. This is funny, and it's obviously untrue. And I'm glad that this. You know, that this woman that. Her name seems to be cleared. The problem is you'll still have people who believe this. You'll still have people out there who believe this for a long time. And that's a really crappy thing to have to live with. But how did this guy get this job? He can't write English. Just basic English. He can't spell. He wasn't able to cover his tracks. He doesn't have a high enough IQ to make a story believable. Like, immediately, everyone knew it was fake. Nobody was horrified. We were all laughing. Yeah. And this is what we see. This is the problem with H1BS. And you guys let me know, you know, you comment below and talk with some other people here, because the H1B issue is a real problem in tech, and I think it's one that's Overlooked. That's one where you can definitely say the Democrat Party, the Republican Party, they're basically one and the same.

[Devon Sala]

Yeah.

[Steven Crowder]

No one is doing enough about this. And when you hear people in the Republican Party saying, well, we need them. We do not. They're better than Americans. They are not. This is a scam. A lot of the degrees are fraudulent. We've gone through that. There are basically giant placement firms. It's a racket where they take something off the top. People come here to this country, then they get all of their family over here. And the ethnic nepotism that takes place. If you get to the point where there's a certain percentage, we don't know the exact crossover. I'll give you some case studies where their H1Bs are Indian. They are the most racist people on the planet as it relates to hiring. It really is a problem. They will force out white Americans because you are a white American. To be clear.

[Josh Firestein]

Or black Americans too.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah. Actually they get it worse. So American workers, just to be clear, two times as likely to lose their jobs compared to Indians. Three times higher if you're a black or Hispanic American. If you look at one of the biggest offenders cognizant here in Texas from 2013 to 2020, 2/3 of their United States based employees are from India.

[Josh Firestein]

Whoa.

[Steven Crowder]

So you're twice three times as likely to lose your job. And you've seen these memes kind of going around. Now they're not coming from an actual study, but anecdotally there are a lot of case studies and it seems to be that if you reach the threshold of about 30% that your company will be 70% Indian or H1BS in very short. In a very short period of time. Or if you get Indian H1BS in a position of management. It's well known. Comment below. Anyone who works in the industry.

[Josh Firestein]

Same thing about apartment complexes.

[Steven Crowder]

Yep. Oh yeah.

[Josh Firestein]

If you get. They're in management there or if they're in the leasing department immediately.

[Steven Crowder]

So. Well, here's what. So Walt. Walt Disney. 250 IT workers were replaced by foreign Indian workers in 90 days. 90 days just. It accelerated. They were forced to train their replacements themselves. It's like digging your own professional grave. Or you get no severance package. Let's look at Southern California Edison. 400 to 500 IT workers were replaced by foreign Indians in eight months. Now this does matter because the American employee salaries were about $110,000 a year.

[Devon Sala]

Yeah.

[Steven Crowder]

The replacements. 65.

[Josh Firestein]

Ah.

[Steven Crowder]

The best and brightest is. Well, is that it? Or Is it that they're cheaper? And this is what happens. It's kind of like people who maybe hire someone to do landscaping and they know that they're not legal, but they just go, yeah, let me. Oh, driver's license. Good enough for me. Right? You've checked the box. If you run a company, you're running a giant company. This is really a. It's a form of corporate welfare where they can go, okay, I know it would look bad if I hire someone with no qualifications, but the truth is this job probably isn't that difficult to do. I just need to look like I've hired someone with a degree who's qualified. Oh, they got a degree from a university in India. Okay, good enough. They're the most qualified and they just happen to be 40 to $50,000 less expensive. Right. They're happy to look the other way. Yeah.

[Devon Sala]

The H1B thing is not the best and brightest thing. If we need the best and brightest, there are other mechanisms to bring those people in. This is just a scam right now.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah.

[Devon Sala]

Completely shut it down.

[Steven Crowder]

Well, here's another one. Cloudera. Last week the DOJ sued. And this is a multi billion dollar tech company, by the way, for discriminating against Americans. And here's something that was going on at least what's being alleged. That they built fake email addresses that bounced every single American applicant and the jobs were already reserved for foreign visa workers. In other words, again, it's a front. It's like, hey, let's look, let's look. Let's keep up the appearance that we looked for American workers, but there were none available. And what's the talking point you hear? Well, we don't have the talent pool in the United States. It's not true, it's not accurate. It's that these people are cheaper. In many cases, they don't even have an actual college degree or training. J.P. morgan. Let's look at that. The HR department includes people like I can't even pronounce.

[Josh Firestein]

Let me try it.

[Steven Crowder]

Karim Sete Garim Sete Chrysoprasis. That sounds like the binomial nomenclature for a dinosaur.

[Josh Firestein]

Yeah, those are fossils.

[Steven Crowder]

Krishna Kishore is the associate recruiter. So the HR recruiter. Karim Sethi. Kriso Pro. I'm doing my best. That's the recruiter. Then the associate recruiter is Krishna. Then Anvesh Kumar is a talent acquisition consultant. Anushka Chakratborty is the HR specialist. Avantika Pathak is the HR specialist. So what do you think happens when you Bring these people in. If you don't believe me, do me a favor, go on X and just find your way down the rabbit hole that is Indian X Indian social media. The racial supremacy from these people is something that defies reason to you as an American. It is. Entirely. And by the way, they're awful to each other because they still come from a caste system.

[Devon Sala]

Yeah.

[Steven Crowder]

They hate darker Indians more than you would think. Between an American white person and black person in discrimination, it is just assumed that you are subhuman. These people come here, they bring their culture here, they bring their same values here. Usually a lack of any in comparison to the United States and there's ethnic nepotism and you are replaced for cheaper workers. And if you guys are wondering, have you guys felt this customer service? Pretty much service quality across the board is awful. This is a very big component of it.

[Josh Firestein]

Yeah, there's definitely a supremacy thing with the, with these H1Bs and, and these workers, because you even see it. This weekend on snl, Aziz Ansari played Cash Patel. Basically making fun of Cash Patel, calling him a dumb. And the joke was Aziz Ansari at the podium saying, I'm making history. I'm a trailblazer making history as the first Indian to suck at his job. Everyone knows Indians are great at everything and so smart and great workers.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah.

[Josh Firestein]

And I'm watching it going like, who said that?

[Steven Crowder]

He did. Oh, they said. Yeah, they say it all the time. Like you Americans, you don't know you. India is the best, number one. I mean, you want to get someone who really gets on a racist pedestal, go to tool Man. He spent a lot of time. I don't mean racist, I mean justified. Yeah, no, I don't like them at all. I want them gone.

[Josh Firestein]

You're giving us the facts to support

[Steven Crowder]

why we should get rid of. Let me ask you guys think YouTube is better now? Do you get. You guys have run into the AI slop. Right. You ever try and find a review of something these days? It's a top five list.

[Devon Sala]

Yeah.

[Steven Crowder]

Where AI is doing it in broken English, which you're like, how does that even happen? A lot of these, A lot of these channels just come from. In these Indian bots.

[Josh Firestein]

Well, Instagram too. Like any, any Instagram video that's postage stamp with a white background and then the description is just a default description that AI wrote. Yeah, that's an Indian channel. I'll put money on it.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah. Well, the silver lining here, even though this is really funny, I mean your fish head wife doesn't have these cans. I'm never going to forget that line.

[Devon Sala]

You don't get a bonus unless you screw my brains out is one of the other quotes that she said.

[Steven Crowder]

Basically, yeah. This guy did not want to go to court. I guarantee you they would find verbatim where he quoted the pornography that he was spending most of his day on the job.

[Josh Firestein]

They tried to do an investigation. He wouldn't give his cell phone, he wouldn't give his records.

[Devon Sala]

No.

[Josh Firestein]

Like, no, don't check it.

[Steven Crowder]

I have the right to privacy. No, you're the one suing, making the allegation. So it should be really easy to find the fish head text.

[Josh Firestein]

It was crazy.

[Steven Crowder]

Your phone.

[Josh Firestein]

The things that he said. He even said one time that she. She was performing oral sex on him against his will. Against his will. While he was crying.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, I know, I know. Take it, you filthy packy. I said I. I am not pucky. And remember, I was crying. But she was. Only because she had drugged me with the roofies and the boner pills. That's the only way this works. That's why I set it up like that.

[Josh Firestein]

But somehow I still remember it.

[Steven Crowder]

I do remember it. It's not repressed trauma.

[Josh Firestein]

Yet the roofies were not strong.

[Steven Crowder]

No, I still remember her using a racial epithet that no one else has ever heard in their life.

[Josh Firestein]

Her rupees were as powerful as my wife's cannons.

[Steven Crowder]

Yes, exactly.

[Josh Firestein]

Non existent.

[Steven Crowder]

But here's the thing. Maybe there's a silver lining here where we can shine a light on these issues. It's hurting a lot of Americans. We can always do better than someone like Chihuahu Rana. Always do better. This idea that companies need them, they don't. They want cheaper. This idea that Indian workers are better than they're consistently not. This idea that Americans can't compete, it's just not true. You're being sold out to the lowest bidder in this instance. And yeah, this is one where I will get on board with those who, whatever you want to call them, the black pill. Republicans are not doing enough on this. And the rhetoric that we heard. One of the worst offenders, by the way, Elon Musk, as you well know, he stands to gain from it. Vivek pretty bad at that. Donald Trump definitely screwed up with this. He kind of walked it back because good thing is he listens to his constituency. Republicans are not doing enough on the scrap. H1BS. Boom. Done. Hey, it won't be any worse than what we have right now. Let's train up Americans. If you think they're not trained up. We have a deep talent pool right now. No more H1BS. Not reform. Scrap it. That's where we are.

[Steven Crowder]

Okay, let's go to this. This story is very important because if you're going to develop an opinion going into a very consequential election, midterms and certainly the next national elections.

[Devon Sala]

Yeah, right.

[Steven Crowder]

The stakes are impeach Donald Trump, pack the court, Undo everything that has been done. Wave your magic Democrat wand and create a whole new voting bloc. Illegal aliens, open up the borders. That is what will happen, along with, of course, the destruction of freedom of speech. And your big tech overlords will be all too happy to acquiesce. That is what is at stake. Are you willing to bring that on? Are you willing to throw away everything that has been accomplished because of Iran? And I understand that some of you will say yes, and I would disagree, but I don't think it's a completely unreasonable position for some people. But it does need to be based on truth, because this is the drumbeat right now is everyone is the same. Nothing has been accomplished, and you have been betrayed because of Iran. And look how badly it's going, therefore hand the country over to Democrats. And a lot of the content, a lot of the news that you are seeing is flat out false. So we are now at day 65 since the Iran war began. Is that. Do I have a clip or is it just that? Just that. Okay, fun. So let's jump right in with claim and truth. All right. So as of right now, the community note went up correcting this.

[Devon Sala]

Oh, did it? Okay.

[Steven Crowder]

But between run through and right before we went on air, it was at 900,000 plays and went to 1.5 million plays. And people were circulating this going, see, this is a disaster. Look. Look at what's happening in Iran. We're getting our butts kicked. It's not true. I'll show you where this video is actually from. Here's the first claim that. And it comes from Iran by the way, you probably shouldn't take their numbers at face value that they had struck a United States warship and they had video. We're just getting a line here from Iran's Fars news agency saying that two missiles, assumedly Iranian missiles, but saying two missiles hit US warship near Yask island after it ignored Iran warnings. The first news agency saying that two missiles hit the US warship near Jask island after Israel.

[Josh Firestein]

Iran's Navy looks great.

[Steven Crowder]

So that is, I saw a bigger one in Miami practically after the ceasefire was announced. This is the first military direct engagement. And then this video circulated, getting millions of plays proving, hey, here's the destroyer being destroyed.

[Josh Firestein]

Oh no.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah. And what do people, people use this to say, hey, well see Donald Trump, it's just he didn't anticipate this. He didn't realize the resistance we run into, they're being really effective. Here's the truth. That video is showing a decommissioned American ship that was sunk during some exercises in 2016. Here's the clip.

[Devon Sala]

12 hours to save and the ship wasn't moving or defending itself. But Iran sunk it.

[Steven Crowder]

Sure. 2016 X exercises.

[Devon Sala]

Yeah, they had to fire a nuke at it. Still floating.

[Josh Firestein]

Man. They need to try to pull something that was easy to lie about.

[Devon Sala]

I know.

[Steven Crowder]

And I guess this is an update. CENTCOM denied the reports and even did their own claim. Truth. Is that what I'm seeing? Really? Oh, what's their claim Truth.

[Devon Sala]

I can't claim truth.

[Steven Crowder]

I can't see it.

[Josh Firestein]

Claim. Iranian state media claims that Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps had a U.S. warship with two missiles. Truth. No U.S. navy ships have been struck. U.S. forces are supporting Project Freedom and enforcing the naval blockade on Iranian ports.

[Devon Sala]

Okay, Citus, centcom, let's go. We know your fans like claim truth.

[Steven Crowder]

Let's do this. Well, here's the thing. I see a lot of people going, well this is it. This is going to turn off an entire generation of voters because Donald Trump said no new wars and this is betrayal. Okay, couple things. First off, he never said no new wars ever. He has been remarkably consistent on Iran since. 80. We've rolled the clips for you. 80, 87, 93, 96. The escalator speech. You may not agree with it, but he did not lie to you. He did not betray you. Here's the other thing. I would really like to get an answer on this. No new forever wars. I agree with that. Can you please define for me what a forever war is? We're at day 65 is a one year war, a forever War, I would

[Josh Firestein]

say you would need it. You would need that.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah.

[Josh Firestein]

At least to make a claim.

[Steven Crowder]

If you're gonna say you're betrayed is one year, two years, three months.

[Josh Firestein]

You'd have to experience at least four seasons.

[Steven Crowder]

You would think so, Yeah, I think.

[Josh Firestein]

Yeah. If it's forever. If you're gonna think it's forever, you would think, well, there's fall and winter and summer also.

[Steven Crowder]

Well, right. For people to say this is a betrayal, it's like, okay, so. And they were saying this, by the way, at day three, day four. So if four days is a forever

[Devon Sala]

war,

[Steven Crowder]

is that your parameter that you're gonna set? Okay, is it 60 days? You're willing to hand the country over to Democrats?

[Devon Sala]

They're pivoting away from that right now. And it's just like the climate change argument, right? It's global warming and now it's climate change. Well, it was a forever war. That's what we heard. Now it's a regime change war because they're like, I'm pivoting to that. Are we even still bombing Iran right now? Is there an active military campaign going on like there was before, or is it mostly isolated to the straight right now?

[Steven Crowder]

Business might pick up shortly.

[Devon Sala]

It may pick up shortly, but it

[Steven Crowder]

still doesn't make it a forever war. You need to define what a forever war is. Now, I don't think that the communication has been great on this war in quite a few ways. I understand that a lot of people are opposed to it, and I think it's a reasonable position to hold to throw out everything and to say that there is no difference because this is a forever war while you cite fake news stories to justify it. That is not a reasonable position to hold, in my opinion. You guys let me know where you line up. So yesterday, President Trump announced Project Freedom on Truth Social. He said that the United States was going to help guide stranded ships through the Strait of Hormuz. He wrote, if in any way this humanitarian process is interfered with, that interference will unfortunately have to be dealt with forcefully. I love. He says, unfortunately, I don't.

[Devon Sala]

I know.

[Steven Crowder]

I don't think blowing them out of the water. And Iran's head of their National Security Committee, they responded with warning any American interference in the new maritime region of Strait of Hormuz will be considered a violation of the ceasefire. The Strait of Hormuz and the Persian Gulf would not be managed by Trump's delusional posts. No one would believe blame game scenarios.

[Devon Sala]

What?

[Steven Crowder]

Iran lies. That's what they do. They're allowed to as the result of their religious death cult. Just like, like they've lied in the past about all the. Every news story that we've really heard from them. If you look at death tolls from Arendt, it's a lie. If you look at what they claim their capabilities are, they are often a lie. If you look at what they claim their capabilities are not. As far as we don't have enriched uranium and did I say. Well, actually we do. They lie all the time. You can't rely on their word for everything. For anything. Sorry. They lie about absolutely everything. Just like how they have their super hot girlfriend who is never around because she lives in Canada. That's the same thing that Iran. Yeah. Well, that makes. Could have fooled me. Now, he did say President Trump, that he was looking over Iran's sort of proposal this weekend, doubted that it would be acceptable. What kind of options? How would it look different?

[Josh Firestein]

I mean, do we want to go

[Steven Crowder]

and just blast the hell out of

[Josh Firestein]

them and finish him forever or do we want to try and make a deal? I mean, those are the options.

[Steven Crowder]

Do you want to go black the hell out of him?

[Josh Firestein]

I'd prefer not.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, on a human basis, I prefer not. But that's the option. And by the way, I think that's true. I think he would prefer not to. Yeah, but I think he's going to do it. He's going to do it very swiftly, intensely and violently. And that's the way you should approach war and conflict. Let's go through some of the claims here versus the truth. And again, I think they're reasonable positions to hold on all sides of this issue except for the idea that this is a forever war without defining it, that Donald Trump has betrayed his base and there's no difference between this administration and the Democrats who will pack the court and do away with free speech and make an entire new voting block so that you never have a country again. I think that's the only unreasonable position. The burn it all down and predicating it on a lie. Here's the first claim that you see going on out there that is objectively false. The claim is that Iran is winning. We locked on. Oh, Russia today.

[Josh Firestein]

Farting.

[Steven Crowder]

What is that?

[Devon Sala]

Ants on fire. That's when the.

[Josh Firestein]

Russia, Russian, Russia today.

[Steven Crowder]

It looks, yeah, it looks like it posted it. Double check and make sure that's the official account. Here's the truth and I get it that obviously wars, you know, who's winning is subjective because you can talk about optics and you can Talk about the midterms, right in the Republican Party, how they aren't doing very well. Well, sure, but as far as how we used to quantify war and measures of success, by every objective barometer that we have, the United States is in fact winning. The Navy of Iran, 90% destroyed their air defense, 80% destroyed their leadership. Over 50 of them killed their oil revenue. Since we started the blockade, it's gone down 72%.

[Josh Firestein]

Wow.

[Steven Crowder]

Iran is running out of storage for their excess oil and they're already cutting production. That is going to have a ripple effect for them for a very that we won't be feeling. Ours is temporary. Right now things could change for Iran. This is a catastrophe and certainly for this regime because then they're gonna have to deal with their own people who hate them. You think midterms are bad? Try dealing with people whose brothers and sisters were killed in the streets by that regime. If they even manage to survive this. If you look at their economy, it's off. Millions of jobs lost at an all time low. Their currency versus the United States dollar. We are objectively winning this. Where if you were to go, is this a forever war? Okay, you read the tea leaves, you go, well, this isn't going to go on that much longer. It really couldn't possibly. Yeah, time is obviously an issue. Most Americans actually think that the United States is winning. If you look at the polls, total 74% Republican, 91% Democrat, 60%. The people who think Iran is winning total 26% Republican, 9% Democrat, 40%. So why are people telling you online and who's saying that Iran is winning? That's very important. Objectively, they are not. They're getting destroyed. And even objectively, according to the polls, onlookers know that this is not the case, that the United States is winning. So why would people be telling you that? I don't have the answer. I genuinely don't. I have suspicions. I don't have the answer. Two thirds of Americans also say that Iran is a national security threat. By the way, so does the whole world, to be clear. But most Americans want a quick end to the war, myself included. If you look at the polls, same polls, Harvard, Harris, end it now or within a month. 51%. If you look at continue war for as long as it takes, you only get about 35%. So like we've said at the beginning of this conflict, if wars are effective, if military interventions are effective, and they are short lasting, historically, they are immensely popular. If they go on for a very long time, Historically, they're immensely unpopular, so that does matter. That's where we are right now. If you look at the gas prices, this is definitely a problem, and rightfully so. They're about $4.40 or so a gallon. That's the highest since April. Trump's approval, it's down to about 40%. That's the lowest since January of 2020. So this is not good as far as optics. This is not good as far as popularity stateside. But there seems to be a disconnect. It's okay to say, all right, this probably needs to be wrapped up, or maybe this wasn't approached with the right amount of caution. To say that we are losing makes you code pink. To say that they are destroying American ships when it's not true and not correcting it makes you a propaganda mouthpiece. For the Iranian regime to say that Iran is no threat to not just national international security is to be delusional. You can say, iran is obviously a threat to international security. The American military is incredibly powerful. We are destroying them. But I think there's a way to contain them without continued military intervention. Got it. I have a lot of friends who hold that position. We need to separate a reasonable position, reasonable disagreement versus completely detached from reality. Democrats, Republicans, are the exact same. Donald Trump said that he would never actually get into a military conflict with anyone at any point in time. And the Iranian military, the Iranian regime is kicking our ass. That is delusional. And a lot of people are saying it. And they don't show up to debate because they don't want to be fact checked. So I hope that this gets done pretty quickly. I hope that we're swift, I hope that we're effective, and I hope. You know what? I hope that the people get their country back in Iran. That would be the ideal scenario.

[Devon Sala]

Yeah, ideal scenario. And we never have to deal with this kind of problem again. And, you know, maybe a side benefit, the UAE leaving opec. And opec, that's not the worst thing in the world. Maybe having the right to kind of sell the oil at whatever price they think is fair, which also.

[Steven Crowder]

Oh, also the restructuring of international coalitions. This is not a small thing when you look at Europe. And here's the thing, it would be one thing if Europe said, Iran's not a threat whatsoever. We have no problem with Iran, and so we don't want to engage in conflict. That's not the case. These European nations have said, well, Iran is a threat. It's incredibly unstable, and something needs to be done. We're just not going to do it. It's like Venezuela. When you look at Venezuela, there were multiple courts that ruled Maduro was a war criminal, that Maduro was an Internet, I think was the bounty $25 million, something like that on Maduro?

[Josh Firestein]

25 million? Yes.

[Steven Crowder]

No one did anything. What you are seeing is really international military welfare. That's what you're seeing. You're seeing these other nations agree with the premise. Well, something should be done here and this is a problem. And they're past this point of enrichment and they've lied. And you know what? We're actually gonna even agree, put a bounty on ahead. This is an international threat. We're just not going to do anything. And then we are going to criticize the United States while they foot the bill and do something which we said needed to be done. So the result, hey, you know what? We're not going to be friends with you anymore. We don't think that we need to be in an alliance if you're never there when it's in your wheelhouse and you should do something. May 1, the United States pulled 5,000 troops from Germany for exactly this reason. It's a worsening feud that now seems to be having real world consequences. Friday, the US Defence Department announced its withdrawing 5,000 of the 36,000 active duty troops stationed in Germany. The announcement came just a day after Donald Trump gave a blunt assessment of the German chancellor's job performance in Germany. I mean, he's doing a terrible job. He's got immigration problems, he's got energy problems.

[Josh Firestein]

He's got problems of all kinds. And he's got a big problem with Ukraine.

[Steven Crowder]

And again, I cannot reiterate this enough. My problem is not with disagreements or different approaches. My problem is with the lie. So the German Chancellor Mears actually denied it had anything to do with Iran. He said there is no connection. I have to accept that the American president has a different view on these issues than we do. But that does not change the fact that I remain convinced that the Americans are important partners for us. Oh, okay. They have a different view.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah.

[Josh Firestein]

We had our troops over there in Germany training Ukrainians, training the Ukrainian senior citizen conscripted soldiers to go kill over a million Russians, by the way, which is very impressive.

[Steven Crowder]

But think about this. There's no connection. We have to accept they have different views. Well, here's the thing. The problem is the lie. Mers said that Trump and the US Were being humiliated by Iran. This is what it's about.

[Josh Firestein]

The Americans clearly have no strategy. And the problem with conflicts.

[Steven Crowder]

I'm sorry, I hear the language, I say bad guy.
