Yeah, you can go to Canada. It's just vitamin D is a little bit expensive. Glad to be with you. Welcome live to Rumble. This is. Well, it's Thursday, 11:00am Eastern, so we are here. We're here tomorrow on Friday, but only if you're a Rumble Premium member. Lot to get to Europe is done. Obviously we've talked about that, but the United States is going to be freeing Europe now from the shackles of, I guess, anti speech. Would we say totalitarianism? Would we say autocratic regime? I don't know. You let me know what's most appropriate. But we actually had the undersecretary here and she teased something and now it's been unveiled an actual portal for people in Europe. Also, Europe doesn't want you to know who commits crimes on trains because they had a PSA that reflected the demographics accurately and they said let's change it with a white guy. Which brings us to another piece of shit today. Simu Liu. Simu Liu, however you need to pronounce it. I don't care because I'm American. He's not. He's a communist Chinese guy. He's an actor and he's a talking, talking head for the Communist Party. We're going to get into the ins and outs. Why this man is a national security threat and Canada, time to invade it. I've been saying it for years. Matt Walsh just echoed it yesterday. I was like, hey, thank you. Good. They just killed a 26 year old. Sorry. Euthanized. Seasonal depression. Yeah, it was dark outside and he didn't like it, so they killed him. This is not a serious country. It shouldn't exist anymore. On with the show.

Josh Firestein (2:23)

Yeah, I. I still don't think I get it. Like, what even is a rumble Wallet?

Summary

Podcast Summary

Louder with Crowder — "Everybody Hates the Whites! So What Do We Do About It?"

Date: February 19, 2026
Host: Steven Crowder
Panel: Gerald, Josh Firestein

Episode Overview

In this episode, Steven Crowder and his co-hosts tackle controversial and provocative subjects rooted in identity politics, media narratives, and perceived anti-white sentiments. The discussion covers a range of topics: the Canadian euthanasia program ("MAID"), free speech developments in Europe, media portrayal of criminals along racial lines, cultural appropriation, specifically in entertainment, and a highly critical segment on actor Simu Liu. The overall tone is politically incorrect, combative, and relies heavily on satire, dark humor, and cultural critique.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Canada and Euthanasia Controversy

[10:21–22:09]

Crowder describes Canada as "not a real country" and criticizes it for implementing a progressive euthanasia policy, claiming as much as 5% of deaths are due to MAID.
Example case: 26-year-old Keanu Vafaian euthanized due to depression — Crowder and team argue this reflects a moral crisis and a lack of Christian values.
- "Canada's existence is the greatest proof that the United States is not an evil empire and Canada's not a real country." — Crowder [10:21]
- "[MAID] calls weekly to say, are you sure? How you feeling? Have you considered this option?" — Crowder [14:30]
The hosts compare MAID outreach to "cold calls" and "sales teams," making dark analogies to telemarketing and profit-driven quotas.
- "It's worse than extended warranty calls... Upselling people to death." — Josh Firestein [14:37, 16:37]
Legislative response: Even Canadian MPs propose bans on unsolicited offers to die.
- "You need a law for that Canada, what are they, competitively priced?" — Josh Firestein [15:34]
Purpose and Mental Health:
The team stress the importance of purpose over therapy or medication for depression — arguing young men are finding purpose and turning to Christianity as a reaction.
- "You still have a purpose. And you need to decide to do the right thing, even if it doesn’t get better. Because that's what good men have done since beginning of time." — Crowder [21:19]

2. Free Speech: America vs. Europe

[23:04–34:19]

Discussion about the U.S. State Department’s new portal giving Europeans and others access to banned content (e.g., Rumble, X).
- "The U.S. State Department is launching an online portal to allow foreign publics to view banned content." — Crowder [23:32]
Crowder lauds America’s free speech while lampooning European leaders (notably Macron and Germany) for censorship.
- "Macron declaring that free speech is bullshit." — Crowder [29:36]
- "This isn't a gray [issue]. This is good guy, bad guy." — Crowder [30:15]
Critique of the European left for equating American openness with authoritarian dangers and drawing absurd comparisons to China.
- "Germany's made their choice... While saying the United States is effectively worse than China." — Gerald [32:36]

3. Media, Crime, and Racial Narratives

[36:08–44:57]

Crowder criticizes UK’s Transport for London for pulling a PSA that reflected crime demographics (suggesting black perpetrators) and replacing it with stereotypical white criminals.
- "In your mind’s eye... Which demographic commits the most crime per capita? Do you have it in your head? All right, that's racist. Thank you. There you go. That's racist." — Crowder [36:09]
UK crime stats read aloud: Black arrest rates, migrant involvement in sex crimes, etc.
- "Non whites are about 16% of the population in UK. 60% of the top 100 sex offender suspects, 38% of arrests on trains, 29% of the prison population. The black arrest rate is two times that of the white rate..." — Crowder [37:20]
The panel describes a pattern of media "whitewashing," where white men are cast as the villains even if demographics don’t support it.
- "Everything the left tries to tell you is untrue. Everything." — Crowder [39:43]
Satirical banter about hypothetical safety improvements if women had better demographic awareness.
- "Is it a worse world where a single white woman doesn't get on the train..." — Crowder [43:39]

4. Cultural Appropriation & Identity Politics in Entertainment: Targeting Simu Liu

[51:02–66:23]

Simu Liu (Marvel’s "Shang-Chi") is singled out as a "talking head for the Communist Party" and criticized for his remarks on white businesses making boba tea.
- "He’s a communist Chinese guy. He’s an actor and a talking, talking head for the Communist Party." — Crowder [01:01]
- "It makes me sad how successful this business is...but that I would be uplifting a business that is profiting off of something that feels so dear to my cultural heritage." — Simu Liu [52:33]
The panel accuses Liu of hypocrisy — participating in cultural appropriation himself by playing a Korean on "Kim’s Convenience" while objecting to whites selling boba tea.
- "He was playing, wait for it, a Korean." — Crowder [62:04]
Broader critique of identity politics: The group lampoons virtue-signaling actors and the media’s focus on representation.
- "This guy is just a race grifter. He's a hateful, bigoted little person." — Crowder [64:41]
International perspective: The show claims racism is worse in Asia than in the U.S., illustrating with a "shockingly racist" Thai toothpaste commercial.
- "If you think that we have racism here in the United States, just go anywhere in Asia...or Europe." — Crowder [45:57]
General mockery of Asian representation debates and Hollywood's handling of race.

5. Humor, Cultural Satire, and Notable Moments

Extensive banter, sarcasm, and boundary-pushing jokes, especially about race, gender, and national identity.
Panel reminisces and jokes about "Jerry Lewis calling kids a faggot" live on TV, to be referenced in the Mug Club after-show.
- "We don't do a telethon with Jerry Lewis calling kids a faggot. We could." — Crowder [69:35]
- Multiple jokes about Asian actors, mockery of European leaders, satirical advertising parodies.
Gerald and Josh frequently serve as Crowder’s comedic foils, escalating or lampooning points with crude humor.

Structure & Flow Notes

The show launches with a flurry of dark humor, segues quickly into the main topics, and regularly oscillates between sincere outrage and biting satire.
Political, cultural, and media critiques are interwoven with comedic riffs and intentionally provocative statements.
Frequent callbacks and tangents (e.g., Asian stereotypes, European history, old TV clips) serve to both satirize and underline the hosts' points on hypocrisy or absurdity in contemporary culture and media narratives.

Conclusion

This episode exemplifies Louder with Crowder's provocative approach: heavy on controversy, irreverent humor, and combative opinions targeting progressive perspectives on race, national identity, and media narratives. Through segments on Canadian euthanasia, censorship in Europe, and the cultural politics of entertainment, the team frames the world as a battle between "good guys" (principled, free, Christian West) and "bad guys" (progressive, censorious, or identity-obsessed forces). If you are seeking to understand culture war dynamics from a right-wing, politically incorrect viewpoint—with heavy doses of satire—this episode is a prime example.
