Steven Crowder
Hey. Christ. What you doing? I'm fasting, Bernie. You know, if you were to endorse me for leader of the free world, everyone could be fasting all the time. Stupid. Believe me, I know. Jesus. I'd like you to think about joining me. We can spread matching uniforms, crippling taxes across the world. You mean stealing. Democratic stealing.
Josh Firestein
So stealing.
Steven Crowder
No.
Kat Morgan
Democratic socialism.
Steven Crowder
I'm okay. I'm gonna go back to fasting.
Kat Morgan
What if I were to give you free health care?
Steven Crowder
Free health care? Really?
Kat Morgan
Yes. Except you'd have to pay for it.
Steven Crowder
I'm not interested in any way, shape or form.
Kat Morgan
I could interest you in an assortment of dreidel dreide.
Steven Crowder
Look, I've had enough. I don't want any of your stuff.
Kat Morgan
Like the persnickety Jew I see. Do you like free speech?
Steven Crowder
Very much so. It's great.
Kat Morgan
We're fresh out. But we do have some of these. I can do this all day.
Josh Firestein
No, I'm okay.
Kat Morgan
Wait, wait. Endless possibilities. Campown races. Do this song. Dooda duda. What about free health care?
Josh Firestein
I'm gonna.
Kat Morgan
Oh, oh, and Jesus.
Steven Crowder
Yeah.
Kat Morgan
One more thing. If you're truly God's son, and I'm not saying you are not, then jump down from this mountain. Surely the angels will. Oh, my leather.

And then I just had a big old mug of coffee doing run through.
Tim
Yeah.
Steven Crowder
And the problem is you don't know how much caffeine is in there. And all of a sudden I'm just like, I love you guys.
Tim
You have to go back to the bathroom, don't you?
Steven Crowder
No, I don't have to go.
Tim
It's coffee. You have to. It makes you feel coffee.
Steven Crowder
He was in such a good Gerald. I love you guys.
Tim
No, I meant that, you know, coffee makes you go.
Steven Crowder
And Toolman gave me a nice little Christmas gift that was on my desk. That was very nice of him. I didn't know if it was from.
Tim
Him or another Tim.
Steven Crowder
All right, so a lot to get to today.
Josh Firestein
Look, the crutch is from Tiny Tim.
Steven Crowder
Wait, What? I see an empty whiskey tumbler by the fire. There are Whiskey tumblers. Very nice. We're going to get to a lot here today. Actually, no, we're not. We're going to get to two subjects. The Wisconsin school shooting, it's happened in Madison. And then the case for homeschooling that we are going to make here. There are a lot of myths, there are a lot of misconceptions both surrounding this shooting in Wisconsin and homeschooling. And you know, we always say here, hey, we're not really, we're really valueless if we're not helping you, we're offering solutions. And a lot of people think that homeschooling is beyond their grasp. It's not. It's closer than you think. And I certainly would wager that a lot of you are considering it right now, considering what you are seeing going on in schools. And comment below if you actually, if you homeschool your kids, how it's gone and if you don't, if you're considering it or what you think the biggest hurdles are to overcome, we're going to discuss that. And also Syria, CNN a little bit because there's an update there. But that and just, you know, hey, look, Rumble Premium, none of this happens without you. Two more days of this show and then the big Christmas special, of course, on Thursday and we are going to see you in the new year if you watching today and at some point, especially when discussing school shootings because no doubt there will be inappropriate jokes told, you might see this. Head on over to Rumble. It's a live show, weekdays at 10am Eastern. You know how we could tell it was a female shooter? Because she mostly missed. I just had to get it out. I wasn't gonna be able to wait. Should we dump? No, no, we shouldn't dump. Humor is a rubber tip sword. It's a way to make a point without drawing blood. If you make a joke about something, it doesn't mean that you're making light of the situation. No, it's a way to deal with things. Kat Morgan, CEO number two. How are you?
Tim
Yeah, I'm doing great. Yeah, thank you. Why do you think I was a little spicy off the jump, right?
Steven Crowder
That was spicy. Was you spicy?
Tim
Just a tiny bit spicy.
Steven Crowder
I'd hate to be the Mrs. That's you spicy in the bedroom. Hey, tonight I want. Hey, babe, I want to spice it up. Maybe we'll do sex completely regular.
Josh Firestein
Put your shirt on.
Steven Crowder
Spice puppies free.
Tim
Maybe I'll tell a funny joke too. Between now and the end of the show. Hey, listen, Die Hard is not A Christmas movie?
Steven Crowder
No, no, no, no.
Tim
Why would you do that?
Steven Crowder
What do you mean? I believe. It's what I believe in the entire.
Tim
Time you've known me, I came in the spirit of trumpa clause.
Steven Crowder
Yeah, right. I get it.
Tim
You came with Die Hard is not a cricket.
Steven Crowder
Oh, look. Okay, that's up. I'll give you this. That was a great area. It's up for debate.
Tim
Three shirts to pick from. You chose that.
Steven Crowder
You know what is not up for debate?
Tim
What is not?
Steven Crowder
I make this color look better.
Tim
You do.
Steven Crowder
All right. And when you hear this, you know him, you love him. Friday, Saturday, December 27th and 28th, at the Tacoma Comedy Club, Tacoma, Washington. Mr. Josh Firestein. How are you?
Josh Firestein
I' good.
Tim
Good.
Josh Firestein
I'm good.
Steven Crowder
Don't let him rain on your parade.
Josh Firestein
I'm not, dude. I, I, I've had a good week so far.
Steven Crowder
Yeah.
Josh Firestein
Ready for Christmas? Dude, he's not going to rain on my parade. He keeps threatening me to fire me, though.
Steven Crowder
Yeah, he does. Well, guess what? I can pull rank.
Josh Firestein
Oh, nice.
Steven Crowder
I'll fire him. I'll give you his job.
Josh Firestein
Oh, no.
Steven Crowder
Then you'll quit.
Josh Firestein
No.
Steven Crowder
And then I'll just rehire you all back to your same place.
Tim
And you're like, it's better this way.
Steven Crowder
It's the art of the deal.
Tim
Make you really appreciate what you have.
Steven Crowder
Yeah. Speaking of which, here's a guy who wants to make a deal with you as to what is permissible and what is not. A lot of Islamists have not gotten the, you know. Look, I respect everyone has a right to practice their own religion, worship freely, but we don't have to follow your rules. Especially when I think they're stupid. So here's an Islamic man letting you know, as it relates to Christmas, what is halal and what is not.
Khalid Baka
This is a reminder that celebrating Christmas is not Halal. Putting up a Christmas tree is not Halal. Wishing people a happy Christmas or a Merry Christmas is not halal. Putting up red, white and green lights or clothing or decoration is not Halal. Attending Christmas parties, but also not Halal. Giving people gifts or presents on Christmas is also not halal. Drinking eggnog is actually halal. Unless you're doing it to imitate the non Muslims. The reason for all of this is that the Prophet, he said that whoever imitates a people, then he is one of them. So as a Muslim, you should be confident in your religion. Be proud that you are a Muslim. Don't try to be someone that you are not.
Steven Crowder
Pubic hair, beards, Halal, apparently. And I get it, it's their religion in halal and not halal. Of course they don't have to celebrate Christmas. But I didn't know that wearing red and green was not halal.
Tim
I didn't know that.
Josh Firestein
Ed. White has a red and green and white.
Steven Crowder
You know what?
Josh Firestein
You can still be a crypto.
Steven Crowder
Yes, you can.
Tim
There you go.
Josh Firestein
You still wear blue.
Steven Crowder
I guess it's also fine to be a Latin king. You can be.
Josh Firestein
Oh, I don't know what they wear.
Steven Crowder
I think they wear gold and yellow.
Josh Firestein
I thought it was wife beaters.
Steven Crowder
Didn't he?
Tim
Just like he said that you couldn't imitate. You become like who you imitate. You just imitated. Like a TikTok influencer.
Steven Crowder
Yes, exactly.
Josh Firestein
Also by that log, a trans woman is a woman. That is halal.
Tim
There you go.
Steven Crowder
I don't understand the logic, but I'll go with it.
Josh Firestein
If you're imitating something, then it's halal.
Steven Crowder
It's a man, baby. No, no, it's not halal to imitate.
Josh Firestein
It's not halal.
Steven Crowder
It's not halal to imitate. I don't understand it. Because with Islam, it's like, oh, we believe that Jesus is one of our holiest prophets, you know, except the fact that we also believe that the apostles lied and he wasn't actually. He didn't actually raise from the dead and they hid the body, which is almost, you know, it's almost like that's blasphemous. So it's funny when you see those in Islam say that painting the Prophet Muhammad, something, something peace, something on him, that that's not allowed. But the entire religion is based on something blasphemous. But here's the kicker. I'm a Christian, we're Christian. You don't care. That's fine. You want to go burn a Bible, I don't care. You want to say that Jesus didn't die and rise from the dead. Oh, okay, that's fine. It's Christian version of halal, which really just means it's fine. It's not too offensive in our sewing group. Now, elsewhere in the Islamic Western world, a convicted terrorist suing a pub over a deeply offensive sign. What is halal? Yeah, that's okay. This is the thing. It's the intellectual, the ideological terrorism that you see across the Western world. The overlay here is from the telegraph. The person's name is Khalid Baka is suing a pub called Saracens for insensitive depiction of an Arab which, of course, look, people have the right to freedom of speech. Hold on a second. To be fair, that's the update one. To be fair, we do have a picture of the earlier pub in question. Okay, that would seem.
Josh Firestein
Yeah, I seem pretty accurate. Not offensive, honestly. Wait, by suing the pub, isn't he.
Steven Crowder
Imitating someone and not being. Hello. He's imitating a Jew.
Josh Firestein
Oh, he's also imitating Ed Sheeran? Apparently.
Steven Crowder
Yes.
Josh Firestein
Or a leprechaun.
Tim
Not.
Josh Firestein
Hello.
Steven Crowder
I was gonna try and make a joke, but I don't know any Ed Sheeran songs. This guy, by the way, was.
Josh Firestein
Your legs don't work like they used to before.
Steven Crowder
Is that a.
Josh Firestein
Because you blew them up. Yeah.
Steven Crowder
Oh, okay, nice.
Tim
That's not an Ed Sheeran.
Steven Crowder
No, no, it's. Yeah, it is pandering.
Tim
You're lying.
Steven Crowder
This same person, by the way, was. So you can't have a sign depicting Arabs in a way that is offensive or depicting Muslims in a way that is offensive. But this person who is suing was previously jailed for distributing jihadi literature. Just to be clear. Now, see, to me, that's not halal, but it's just a matter of opinion.
Josh Firestein
We need a word. They have halal. Jews have kosher. We need something, dude.
Steven Crowder
Well, the WASP equivalent is. Is there gluten in it?
Tim
Oh, come on.
Steven Crowder
I don't know if this got gluten. I don't. I don't. Do you have celiac disease? Oh, no. You're just trendy. Okay. That's right. Last year. We're a vegan now. You're carnivore. I don't want to. I don't want to hear anything from you.
Josh Firestein
How about chill? It's not chill.
Steven Crowder
It's not chill. Yeah, I don't know. They just make up words.
Tim
We just let you eat whatever you want.
Steven Crowder
Yeah, pretty much. We don't care shrimp about it. It's fine. It's disgusting.
Josh Firestein
You eat the poop. It's gross.
Steven Crowder
It's gross. The best part.
Tim
No, it's not. No, it's not.
Steven Crowder
It's actually. Remember we talked about this? Was it this week? No, it was last week.
Tim
Late last.
Steven Crowder
It was late Last week with CNN's Clarissa Ward, the Syrian prisoner. And we thought that it might have been staged, right? We said we have to be careful because, of course, our heart goes out to this man, if, in fact, he is an innocent prisoner. But then we continue to dump on him for, like, a good 10 because we didn't believe that it was genuine.
Josh Firestein
Maybe he was in Jail for a reason, right?
Tim
Yes.
Steven Crowder
Yes, exactly.
Josh Firestein
He really did be free.
Steven Crowder
A prisoner.
Josh Firestein
I don't know.
Steven Crowder
So we might even want to switch this one to Josh. But that brings us to this week's. Crowder called it.
Josh Firestein
Come let Zoltar tell you more.
Kat Morgan
I'm gonna hit the next pitch ball.
Steven Crowder
Right past the flag. We're gonna win the game. I guarantee it. So CNN released this really weird video. A lot of people think this is fake. And by that, I mean it's allegedly fake. And by that, I mean it's clear. Clarissa Ward just happened to discover a prisoner of the Assad regime. Pause. What, do you stop at Burberry on the way over? That's the cleanest jacket ever.
Josh Firestein
That's a Burlington Koufax jacket right there.
Steven Crowder
Anyone have one of these coats? It is a magnet. It's like you're wearing a Swiffer around your neck. Guy just walked out of the L.L. bean catalog and what they have just for men. That is a perfectly trimmed beard right there, by the way. When they're in there, there's a camera. They already blew off the lock with gunfire, and they're in there.
Tim
I don't think it actually happened.
Steven Crowder
You don't tell them they're in there with a boom mic, with a line. With a line producer, and he's just like, no, I'm just encountering sheep. What do you. What do you think?
Josh Firestein
Come, let Zoltar tell you more.
Kat Morgan
I'm gonna hit the next pitch ball.
Steven Crowder
Right past the flag. We're gonna win the game. I guarantee it. Well, yeah, it looks like maybe. I mean, definitely. Last night, Clarissa Ward posted on her ex. We can confirm the real identity of the man from our story last Wednesday as Salama Muhammad Salama.
Josh Firestein
Fun name. Salama Salama.
Tim
It's not very creative.
Steven Crowder
It's hard to say fast, especially if he's chucking wood. So how much salad would Salama.
Josh Firestein
Salad.
Steven Crowder
See? You can't even say it. It's so hard.
Josh Firestein
How much?
Steven Crowder
Salama Muhammad. I can't do it. Gosh, I lose. So, Salama, just to give you a little bit of context, here is a first lieutenant in the Syrian Air Force.
Tim
Oh, boy.
Steven Crowder
According to locals, he was involved in theft, extortion, coercion, trying to force residents to become informants. Also torture on behalf of the Assad regime.
Tim
Yeah, and it looks like he was trying to rehab his image.
Steven Crowder
Yes, he was.
Tim
Basically, he was trying to say, no. They forced me to do it. You know, they put me.
Steven Crowder
I was a prisoner, too.
Tim
Thank goddamn free you Know that didn't work, buddy.
Steven Crowder
Yes, I was a prisoner. Well, how many people did you torture? You know, give or a lot.
Josh Firestein
Explains why his cell was locked on the inside. We had to shoot it off because the key is in his throat.
Steven Crowder
Couldn't you tell by the claw marks on the wall that this guy was maybe up to no good? And so she's trying to say, like, I didn't know. Well, here's the thing. Maybe she knew, maybe she didn't know. But of course it was completely prefabbed. It was fake. And again, this lady has a vested interest in taking out the Assad. I think we've been really clear, right? Assad, the regime, bad. What's coming could be worse. I don't think this is a controversial position because some people are like, well, Assad was the only one protecting Christians and just killed a bunch of them in. I believe it was in Lebanon. Like, okay, it's been bad. Assad is bad. And the replacement could be worse. But that's the rule of that whole area of the world. It's halal.
Tim
Everything's halal over there.
Steven Crowder
And before we go any further, talking about the school shooting there in Madison and a lot of misinformation. Tim, you ready? You feeling good?
Josh Firestein
I think so.
Steven Crowder
On. On the. On the ball. Yeah.
Josh Firestein
What are you talking about?
Steven Crowder
Well, I don't want. I don't want to. I don't want a repeat of last week. Yeah, and as you can see here in this next one, we have Tool Man. Roll the clip. Tim?
Josh Firestein
Yeah.
Steven Crowder
I think it's. This Nuts. Yeah, no, it's this one. Tim, what's going on? You seem a little. You seem a little off today.
Tim
I don't know, I. I woke up late. Night rushed in here. I'm just. I'm just trying to get my bearings. One second.
Steven Crowder
Okay. Tim, what is this? Yeah, what is this? That's not it.
Kat Morgan
I don't know what the.
Steven Crowder
I don't. What is. Hey, whoa. What's. Guys, let's. Let's just. Come on, take. We are not. You're. We're not each other's enemy. Tim, did you not have your coffee today? What's going on?
Tim
I got a energy drink at the gas station. I guess there was caffeine free. Great.
Steven Crowder
Why would you get a caffeine free energy drink? Doesn't even make sense.
Tim
Because it was probably made in China like everything else.
Steven Crowder
All right, it's not gonna. It's not gonna help with anything. Let's have some 1775 coffee. We have A pot here, I think.
Tim
Please do it.
Steven Crowder
You have a mug right there. Yeah, good. No, just.
Josh Firestein
I feel better.
Tim
That's a hair in it.
Steven Crowder
All right. Oh, sorry about that, guys. Not me. Without the. Without having my coffee in the morning. Yeah. What was the cup you wanted me to play again? Doesn't matter. I'm done with the segment. But 1775 coffee is good. So is that. That was fun, right? Yeah. I'm glad you're in better spirits. Revolt Against Crappy Coffee 1775 Coffee.com Crowder Use the code CROWDER for 10% off.

Tim
Yeah, it's good.
Steven Crowder
Let's go on here to the Wisconsin Madison shooting. Yeah, it's always terrible when you have to discuss another one of these. And I hate the fact that you need to discuss things like gun control or people feel that it's politicized. Unfortunately, it's politicized before the bodies are even cold. Right. That's what happens in today's world. So you have to push back against it. When only one side decides to politicize it and we remain silent. Well, guess what? Then you end up with things like the assault weapons ban that we saw in the 90s and had no effect whatsoever. You end up with losing your rights. More importantly, this intimidation of bullying people into silence. This culture that we have, and it happens very often. It used to be more effective from the left on school shootings. Anytime there was a mass shooting or an act of violence. We didn't see this, by the way, when we were dealing with the murder of the United Healthcare CEO.
Tim
No, no. No calls there.
Steven Crowder
No calls there. But we see it now. They want second amendment advocates, gun owners to be bullied into silence. And here's the thing. Not only should you not be bullied into silence, you do have the moral high ground. Because the defensive uses of firearms every year that take place in this country, not to mention the statistics on the law abiding nature. The single most law abiding, productive demographic of citizens that we know are gun owners, concealed carry permit holders, more so than off Duty officers, to be clear, you actually have the moral high ground because you, even if you never actually have to engage, are the potential hero of your community. You are not a criminal, and you know it. And I want you to remember that so that you're not intimidated. And something else, too, is when the left decides that certain shootings you won't know about, and certain shootings you will know about, the agenda is dangerous. Not because I just disagree with it, the gun control agenda, but because you see, for example, with Nashville, that was really kind of a crescendo after a groundswell that we have seen from the rhetoric of trans genocide, of mental health being an epidemic with young people, especially after Covid. They didn't want you to be aware of that. They want you to think white male is the mass shooter. White supremacy is our problem. That's our greatest domestic terror threat, as opposed to potentially down the line, what we could see as a massive threat to this country and western civilization. People with no moral compass whatsoever. And if you remember, Mug Club Undercover, they were the ones to uncover the first pages of the very much hidden Nashville shooters manifesto we have for you today, exclusively here on Lotto with Kredder, courtesy of Mud Club. First look at part of the handwritten manifesto of the Nashville shooter. Dark Abyss. Death Day, March 27, 2023. Today is the day. Yes, the day has finally come. I can't believe it's here. Don't know how I was able to get this far, but here I am. I'm a little nervous, but excited, too. Been excited for these past two weeks. There were several times I could have been caught, especially back in the summer of 2021. None of that matters now. I'm almost an hour plus seven minutes away. Can't believe I'm doing this, but I'm ready. I hope my victims aren't. My only fear is if anything goes wrong, I'll do my best to prevent any of the sort. God, let my wrath take over my anxiety. It might be 10 minutes tops. It might be three to seven. It's gonna go quick, I hope. I have a high death count. Ready to die. Ha ha. Signed, Aiden. And of course, we found out that the motive there seemed to be, in large part wanting to kill traditional western Christian conservatives, patriarchy, all that. There's a lot of misinformation, though, going around right now. And I will say this. The good news is that on X, it was able to be refuted pretty quickly. And that's why there's value in allowing more voices, because you Crowdsource intelligence as opposed to having one person from the top down determining what is and what is not permissible to say because then you end up with COVID the Hunter Biden laptop story. But it is a double edged sword. There's been a lot of misinformation on both the left and the right regarding the shooting that had taken place yesterday in Madison, Wisconsin at Abundant Life, a Christian school. And here just to kind of we have a clip is a the photo negative of a Six Flags guy. Today around 10:57am our officers were responding to a call of an active shooter at the Abundant Life Christian School here in Madison Medicine.
Tim
When officers arrived, they found multiple victims suffering from gunshot wounds. Officers located a juvenile who they believe was responsible for this deceased in the building. Additionally, the officers began administering life saving efforts to anyone who was wounded and making sure that those persons were transported. What we know is that a total of about seven persons were transported from this scene to area hospitals for treatment. We know that at least three people.
Steven Crowder
Have lost their lives, including the juvenile person. And you know, before we move on, it's just watching that clip, you know, you see people basically with iPhones filming this. I remember when Andrew Breitbart would break stories back in the day and you'd have journalists say, and this is the thing, it's just some guy with some people with a cell phone. Whether it's James O'Keefe or Andrew Breitbart, these aren't real journalists. And that's what we had to deal with, the Nashville Manifesto. These people aren't real journalists. They're using the same. It just takes a few years time and they adopt the technology. So you are a journalist, to be clear, you are someone who can. Can you get to the truth? Do you have a thirst for the truth? Guess what, you can be a journalist. Okay? You don't need to go to school for it. As far as what we know right now, two people have been killed. One student teenager, one teacher. Six others were shot, taken to the hospital. Two seem to at the moment of this broadcast remain in critical condition. Lot of, lot of myths out there, misinformation. So all references available. Link in the description and comment below if you believed any of this. Because I had some people send me notes where they believed some of these myths that were out there largely from, from the right. Here's the first myth that we need to debunk and we'll give you all the references is that this shooter right now is, is a trans individual. This took over X the Internet within minutes of the shooting. And the reality matters here, the truth does matter. Because yes, there has been a disproportionate amount of violence coming from the trans community. We were the ones who broke the Nashville Manifesto and the motive therein, or portions of it. But right now, this shooter was a 15 year old girl, a student at this school, transferred into this school, I believe this last year as a girl, and uses a pseudonym online, which is also feminine. There is no evidence that this person is a transgender individual. I just want to be clear about that because the truth does matter and you don't want to be treated as someone who is illegitimate and have your credibility blown because you decided to go along with the lie because some other people before you wanted some clicks.
Tim
Yeah, exactly. And by the way, shout out to Andy Ngo for getting the correct information.
Steven Crowder
Yes, he did there.
Tim
I think he was the first among the first, if not the actual very first.
Steven Crowder
Yes.
Tim
To get it out there. So it's good to get the right information out.
Steven Crowder
Thank you, Andy.
Josh Firestein
She was like crazy Emma Watson.
Steven Crowder
Yes, she does her any danger. So does Emma Watson. She's looking increasingly a little bit crazy Emma Watson. But thank you, Andy. Sorry. Antifa punch. You're the face. You didn't deserve that. That sucks.
Tim
Milkshake. That was not.
Steven Crowder
That was terrible. Guys out there laying it on the line. And of course the left hates him. Here's another myth that you see. So this one comes from the left is that this shooter actually not only wasn't trans, this shooter was maga. So this is a popular anti trump account. Art Candy posted this. Over a million views saying, oh, the school shooter was a 17 year old female racist. This tracks another vile MAGA. Did the parents give her a gun this time too? And this is what the left does, right? They say, oh, fascism is an ideology of the right. That's not true. They say, oh, racism is inherently maga. That's not true. Several false premises that are being used here. To be clear, here's the reality, the truth, the shooter definitely not maga. Not trans, definitely not maga.
Tim
Yeah.
Steven Crowder
Here's a discord message that this shooter reportedly had written and it basically a radical feminist. Some people call these, these women femcels. It's women who actively hate men. So this comes from the shooter says women are the only hope for this wretched world. I realize the truth, men are irredeemable. Rad fem Hitler was, is fucking vindicated now they can't be redeemed. Meaning men, they're a effing scourge upon the earth. The only solution is to total exterminate them and every foid who worships these effing parasites. To be clear, grammar, spelling, not her strong suit.
Josh Firestein
Yeah, needed that some of the more schooling.
Steven Crowder
Yes, I would think so too. But Radfem Hitler is an anime nazi X account that hates men. And just to be clear, I don't think that account needs to be removed. I don't want to be one of those people on the right. The tipper Gore equivalent on the right. A lot of people don't remember Gore for the video game ratings saying this person posts some ideology that radicalized someone. Oh, this person posts some, you know, some memes, posts about their ideology. And this shooter took it, used it, warped it. Just want to be really, really clear about that. We also do have what appears to be the shooter's manifesto. It comes from the X account slat zizm. I think from the shooter's boyfriend. Now here's the thing. Apparently the shooter posted this manifesto on Google Docs but forgot to set it to public because there's nothing like perpetuating the original stereotype of an undisciplined, undetail oriented young lady.
Tim
Retard alert.
Steven Crowder
Oh, tell the world. Missed a step. You left it private. Ah, I guess no one will hear whatever the bullshit you're spewing.
Josh Firestein
I think that would be important.
Steven Crowder
Yeah, you would think. You would think so. Don't tell me what to do, you parasite man. I'm just telling you, you gotta set it to public. Oh, really? Patriarchy. Fine. All right, just go. So in this reported manifesto, this shooter obviously seems like the outcast type. Like we don't have a very clear ideology beyond a radical feminist who hates men. But this does seem to be pretty in line with what we often see. Someone who's been isolated. She complains about bullying, neglectful parents, an alcoholic father, obvious disdain for organized religion, overall hatred for humanity. Also some admiration for some obscure European school shooters. I know some of you are confused. Yeah, they have those in Europe too. I know you think that's a uniquely American thing. It's not.
Josh Firestein
They said that we don't though. They said that this is the only country.
Steven Crowder
They said this is the only country I come from Montreal, where we had three, just to be clear, like we almost invented the mass shooting. When you look at Ecole Polytechnic. She also took a selfie wearing a band T shirt of KMFDM as looking like it's an homage to the Columbine killer. So this seems to be someone who obviously is not trans individual. Obviously not maga, hates men. Young woman who hates men. And that seems to be the motive at this point in time.
Tim
Unless anyone thinks frustrated at parents, you know, hates men, dad's an alcoholic. Like, there's some stuff there which may.
Steven Crowder
Or may not be true.
Tim
Right. But that's what's being said right now. Right. So I don't want to. I don't want to, you know, say that that's absolutely true right now, but none of that ideology. Like, you can't look at any of that list and go, maga. And people immediately ran to trans guys. Come on.
Josh Firestein
Looked at. Looked like there was some suicidal stuff in there too. Yeah, it was like, I want to commit suicide. I want to take out as many as I can before I go. Yeah, who's this boyfriend? I mean, is that an accessory to murder or what? Like, what's.
Steven Crowder
Well, people are telling me, I think that the boyfriend only received this after the act had been committed. As far as far as what I understand. But again, I'm sure there will be an investigation.
Tim
Is it an ex boyfriend is a real boyfriend. She hated men. So why was she dating somebody? Like, there's still a lot of unanswered questions on that side of it for me, so.
Steven Crowder
And if more of the political ideology is peeled back, more layers are peeled off, and it doesn't suit the left's narrative, you won't hear about it just like. Just like Vegas, just like Nashville. It will require crowdsourcing. The. The intelligence here, the investigation. That's unfortunate. It's unfortunate. That's why you don't trust your institutions, and rightfully so. If the shooting fits a narrative, you will hear about it everywhere. If it doesn't, they'll have some gun control stuff that they'll talk about for a while and it'll kind of fade and they'll wait for the next one. Yeah, they're already not covering it on cnn, right? Yeah, exactly. So that tells you the way that it's probably going. That's a pretty good indicator as to the motive or it's a good indicator as to there not being the white supremacist motive. Because that was the case, because they.
Tim
Had it earlier a little bit. So we'll see how long it stays in the news cycle.
Steven Crowder
Well, here's another myth that you are seeing right now is this was on X. I think you have the overlay and it's been circulated. This shooting, this shooting, this shooting. There's a list and it says all AR15s right. And some people then falsely added this current Madison shooting to it. Here's the truth, the reality. The shooter used a handgun. Anna, what other additional information do we know about what happened? Well, we just learned that the Suspect.
Tim
Likely used a 9 millimeter pistol, that that was the weapon that was used.
Steven Crowder
And just to be clear, we'll get through some of the biggest gun myths, but in 2016, you know, handguns killed about 19 times the amount of people as all rifles put together. When it comes to mass shootings, handguns are used 80% of the time. So just understand that this is going to be used there. This is something that you are going to hear from the left. Look, let me give you three key facts here. And over Christmas, over the breaker, Hanukkah or whatever it is, Ramadan. I don't know if that's right now.
Tim
No.
Steven Crowder
Kwanzaa's not real. Kwanza's not real. Maybe go and subscribe to wherever you get your audio podcast. Three and three. We did one on gun control. Okay. We did one before. And it's important to note that there are a few key facts. You know, let me deliver it here at the end. But it's basically where gun. Where. Where mass shootings take place, the kinds of guns used, and the defensive uses of firearms every single year. Okay, we'll get through all those facts. It's about 500,000 to 3 million every single year. Defensive uses of firearms.
Tim
Yeah. Yeah.
Steven Crowder
Okay. Handguns are used in 80% of mass shootings. And we cover all that in that three and three. Specifically on gun violence. Here's another myth that you're going to hear from the left right now. They pivot right away to we need. This could have been stopped by gun control. So we need new forms of gun control now. Former Vice President Biden released this statement. My administration has taken aggressive action to combat the gun violence epidemic. Not with his son.
Josh Firestein
No.
Steven Crowder
We passed the most significant gun safety legislation in nearly 30 years. More is needed. Congress must pass common sense gun safety laws. Universal background checks. A national red flag law ban on assault weapons and high capacity magazines. Okay, a couple of things. There are universal background checks. National red flag law is really one of those laws where you can report your neighbors because they take a Xanax ban on assault weapons. They tried it. It didn't work. It's entirely subjective. For example, this is not an assault weapon. Pistol grip makes it an assault weapon weapon. It's stupid. It's just designed to limit your ability to own firearms. High capacity magazines, well, they've done that in states like California. Hasn't worked. Hasn't worked. Also note, there was no call for gun control after the shooting of the CEO.
Tim
I couldn't believe that, by the way, with everything that was set up. There was in New York. This what people. Handguns are legal guns or printing. Yeah, exactly. Like it had a silencer on it. I know they hate silencers. Like, everything lined up up for them to call for that.
Josh Firestein
Well, not really, because it does show that their gun laws didn't freaking work.
Tim
No, that's true. I mean, I would say that they.
Josh Firestein
No handguns.
Tim
It has to be more strict. We have to just get rid of them altogether. But listen, I just. I swore internally just a minute ago when I was reading Biden's text, every single time, every single time that this happens, the left comes out with the same thing, we need to do stuff. And then they make a list of things that would not effing change a thing every single time. More control, more control, more control. That's what we want. And things that are listed are things that would not have changed this at all. Not one bit. Yep. I'm tired of that crap. When the right says thoughts and prayers, they mean it. They mean they're praying. Like I was on the way to fricking work today for the families that don't have a kid showing up at Christmas this year. Yep, that's what we mean by that. When you send this out, it's like I want to look like I'm a part of the team, that I hate guns too, just like all of you. And I want to recommend things that aren't going to change anything in American society. And I'm gonna do it every single time. Yeah, because I want votes.
Steven Crowder
And it's designed to vilify you. All you offer is thoughts and prayers. Well, all you offer is to disarm a citizenry and put them at greater risk of gun violence.
Josh Firestein
I'm not gonna stop praying. So.
Steven Crowder
Yeah. Is it prayer shaming now? Is that a thing? Prayer shaming? Prayer shaming. It's useless, really. Okay. What are you doing? Oh, calling for gun control. Okay, that's right. And by the way, none of those things would have stopped this shooting. According to the manifesto of this shooter, this person duped her father into getting the gun. Says, nobody knows I'm doing this. I got the weapons by lies and manipulation and my father's stupidity. And again, that's a reflection of an ideology, which we see with radical feminists. The ends justify the means. Your skill is Lying and manipulating. But if you say that women are often more manipulative than men because that's how they can get things done through. Through ulterior motives, to be clear. Like men can get it done through violence, which is also wrong. Women often have to get these things done. If they have motives that are less than pure, they have to use manipulation, they have to use lies. And she believes that her father is stupid because all men are stupid.
Josh Firestein
And her. That was her account. Drunk.
Steven Crowder
That's what she says. Yeah, that's what she says. But she also could be manipulating the public right now by saying that to try and put the blame on her father as opposed to the fact that she was radicalized by a bunch of other feminists who hate men out there. This is a reflection of what you are seeing in the dating sphere right now. You know, there's the red pill sphere, the manosphere, and then there's the feminists. And I don't know that it's reparable. I really don't. You're just going to see more and more young men checking out of the dating pool and not marrying. And you're going to see more and more women getting into their mid and late 30s with their biological window closing, wondering where all the good men went to. And that's what you're seeing here. You're seeing a woman who hates. If a man were to carry out a mass shooting right now, white male, it would be all about white males vilifying white males. When a girl does this, they first try to vilify her as influenced by white male MAGA ideology. Also, by the way, lifting weights is white male patriarchy, as we've heard. So is the nuclear family, according to Black Lives Matter. And when that doesn't work, then it becomes, oh, how did we fail this young woman? If you're a man, you're vilified. If you're a young woman, you're misunderstood. And you can't have one side. Just like we talked about with Phillips. What was her name? Lily Phillips. People are asking for the jailing of the men who are answering a casting call. Hold on a second. There needs to be accountability on both sides. That's where we need to have accountability. Right here. This is a woman who hates men, who wants to blame men and believes that they are justified in manipulating and lying to men. Why? Because all men bad. That's misandry of the highest order. We should be discussing that. You do have an entire generation of people, especially in public schools, who have been raised to hate an entire demographic of people. And I'm not saying it's the plight of the white male. That's not what I'm saying. But here's the good news for a lot of white males out there. They can just check out. They don't need to date. They don't need to get married. You know what else? They don't need to open doors. They don't need to be gentlemanly. They don't need to protect their fellow citizens. They don't need to lay their lives on the line for women who are not worth dying for. And you're gonna see more of that. Is that the society that you want to live in? Because I tell you what, you need those guys. You need everyone. Only one group is saying, we need some people, not other people. That's the left saying, we need this oppressed class. But this, this, this class needs to admit their privilege and guilt and apologize. I'm saying we need everyone. We need white women, we need white men, we need black men, black men, we need Latino women, Latino men, we need Asian women, we need everybody. We're not excluding one demographic. This is a manifestation of someone who has been not only justified but coached into vilifying one demographic. And that's a problem. That's a problem. Do you have any proof that white men are actually being conditioned into hating meaning in college, in high school, through media? We're white guys here. I know, it's not lost on me. Just a bunch of white guys with an opinion. I don't know if you know this, but most guys in this country are white. Give me an example where we would be conditioned through our institutions to hate a group of people or to justify mistreatment of them. I'm not talking about individual sects or neo Nazis or the Westboro Baptist church where there's 12 members, including like six with flippers. I'm talking about actually institutionalized discrimination. Where's the white male equivalent of affirmative action? And let me give you some, some, some statistics. You already heard me on the one before when we're talking about these shootings. And this is where you can go and listen to the three and three podcast. It's designed to give you three key facts on any topic that is referenced so you can get it in three minutes or less. Okay? 94% of all mass shootings since 1950 have occurred in gun free zones. All right? So if you think that gun laws work, 94% of mass shootings have taken place in first off, all zones, to be clear, are mass shooting Free zones. At least supposed to be.
Tim
Supposed to be, yes.
Steven Crowder
But these are actually gun free zones.
Josh Firestein
Almost seems like causation.
Steven Crowder
80% of these mass shootings are carried out with handguns, not with AR15s. And according to every stat we have available to us, there are over when people say if it saves one life, well over half a million to 3 million defensive uses of firearms every single year. And I would bet disproportionately used by women or the disabled people who need a mechanical advantage over marauding monsters. Those are three key facts. 94% gun free zones. 80% handguns, not rifles. 16 times or 19 times more damage inflicted deaths at the hands of handguns than at rifles. And what was the last one? Defensive uses. Defensive uses. 500,000 to 3 million million. Well, if it saves one life, well, it saves 500,000 to 3 million every year. Why don't you care about those people?
Tim
Yeah.
Steven Crowder
So we're going to be obviously staying on top of this again. What's sad is it'll go away if the shooter isn't of the right ideological motive. And that's why you don't trust your institutions. And I don't blame you one bit.
Josh Firestein
It sucks because we got to study this stuff.
Tim
Yeah.
Josh Firestein
Well, there's a scientific link to things and we need to know.
Tim
Yeah.
Josh Firestein
Even if it's the opposite way. Even if it's just, oh, straight white guys are the ones who do it. Well, let's see the science about it. Let's see if we can prevent this.
Steven Crowder
Yeah, you're absolutely right. Also, by the way, in case. Yeah. You want to say.
Tim
Yeah, I wanted to talk about this Discord thing because this is something that is incredibly important that, that came up there, there was a reference to discord with this person. This is. By the way, just remember we, we covered Chippewa Falls where there was a potential shooter.
Steven Crowder
Yeah. Second.
Tim
Second potential shooter. When we were going through the process, we had a lot of conversations behind the scenes with information that didn't necessarily all come out because we were looking into it. But this, this set off alarm bells for me. This is 150 miles plus or minus from Chippewa Falls. Okay. So very close. There's a possibility of a social epidemic kind of brewing in Wisconsin right now. And discord was a common thread that I saw where people are being radicalized on discord. Now, I'm not saying discord is any worse than maybe any of the other sites out there. What I'm saying right now is that if you are a parent, that has a child on Discord. You must absolutely 100% know what is going on. That's all social media as well. But right now, there is a very specific threat on Discord. We talked about the shooters being in a Discord channel that was kind of venerating the Columbine shooters and promoting kind of these school shooters shootings and kind of making hype videos and all these different things that were going on right now. And. And there is somebody right now radicalizing people Rattle. Radicalizing young kids. We're talking about somebody who was in middle school right up in Chippewa Falls. This is not some, you know, high schooler that has done some research. This is somebody who was not even close to being alive when these people did this at Columbine. Right. So parents out there, make sure that you understand what is happening, especially if you're a Wisconsin parent right now. Find out if your kids are on Discord. If they are, make sure that you know what's going on because they're being radicalized by somebody who is venerating these kinds of.
Steven Crowder
And I will take it one step further. I will say that, yeah, discord is an environment that is more conducive to radicalizing. Let me tell you why. You know which fan created Discord was removed? This one. Yeah, same thing on Reddit. So on Reddit fans. And by the way, you can go and check the Discord of the. For this show of the Mud Club people. And same thing on Reddit. It was overwhelmingly friendly. It's not going to radicalize anybody. In other words, Discord said that this very segment right here, this kind of content is impermissible if that is not allowed on your platform. But the kinds of dialogue that you see here and we saw in Chippewa Falls are. Do you think it creates a more dangerous echo chamber? Go to Reddit politics and just look at the gleeful celebration in the murder of the CEO in United Healthcare. Just look at the hatred that you see. And so, yeah, when they say this right here, what you are seeing right here, basic bitch, pumpkin spice, Christian conservatives, that this is radicalizing and it is removed. You now have created a silo where people can hear radical feminism, where people can hear radical gender ideology, where people can hear radical gun control advocacy, where people can hear radical socialism, Marxism, but can't hear this. Yeah, yeah, you know what? We don't have the data to support. I'm just giving you the anecdote, but I know a lot of conservatives out there who have either been removed from Discord Certainly on Reddit and entire channels have been taken off of their server. What kind of an environment do you think you're going to create? And then you have the New York Times, I believe, where they write. They wrote an entire article the radicalization that takes place on YouTube and they had an image of Philip DeFranco. You may disagree with what. But you think that anything we say here is going to radicalize people into shooting their fellow American might radicalize people into protecting their family and their fellow American from those willing to do violence. This is not allowed in places like Discord. This is not allowed, by the way, also expand YouTube. This is not allowed to be monetized. The kind of stuff that did influence this. This young girl is. And it's advertiser friendly. And then they want to bitch about you being in an echo chamber. They want to ban Rumble. To be clear, we just got a. I don't know if I can talk about a tip as it relates to Rumble, but I'll need to. We have something going on there that comes straight from the government. And by the way, this is like you just mentioned, this other shooter in Chippewa Falls, right? This shooter in Chippewa Falls also showed admiration for the Columbine shooters. And keep in mind, in Chippewa Falls, the real problem, the reason we were exposing this is there were still active threats potentially and parents had to pull at least one pull their child from school because nothing was done about it. So the obfuscation, right, the lack of transparency is what makes parents concern. What do you think is more concerning this show? Or take Rush Limbaugh, Fox News, for crying out loud, Take Mike Lindell of My Perfect Pillow. You think that's more of a concern than school boards actively hiding information from parents? Because that's the system and I mean our public education system that exists and why people are going to homeschooling in record numbers. We have a clip of that Chippewa Falls story. This person continues on with a new paragraph titled Thoughts. It explains how they hate girls who objectify themselves. Redacted. Writes about how they are taking inspiration from the Columbine shooting. This will be the next Columbine. I will kill the most people I can by using explosives that I will make myself. All the problems that I face will be worth it after I kill all the jocks and all those preppy headed girls who need to die and they will go burn in hell. On the next page, this person talks about they are searching for the Dylan to their Eric and again, who they are Targeting.
Tim
Yeah.
Steven Crowder
You did a great job when you went and you spoke to the parents there.
Tim
Well, no, I appreciate. It was. It was. It was a big, heavy story.
Steven Crowder
Yeah, for sure.
Josh Firestein
That's pretty heavy stuff.
Tim
Yeah. This is.
Josh Firestein
Maybe it's a perfect time for you guys to see my latest screen test. Kind of lighten the mood.
Tim
Oh, for.
Steven Crowder
Okay. Yeah. We could use a little levity. For what?
Tim
Yeah.
Josh Firestein
Oh, it's a prequel from American History X. I don't know if you're familiar with it.
Steven Crowder
Hey, Josh. How you doing today?
Josh Firestein
I'm Josh.
Steven Crowder
I know. That's why. Okay. You know who you're reading for?
Josh Firestein
Yes, I am reading for the lead role in the prequel to American History X.
Steven Crowder
What movie?
Josh Firestein
American History X.
Steven Crowder
Why are you saying it like that?
Josh Firestein
Because I speak English. We speak English in this country. Okay, pal? It's American History.
Steven Crowder
All right? Just.
Tim
Just go.
Steven Crowder
Whenever you're ready, okay?
Josh Firestein
Can you count me in?
Steven Crowder
Sure. Three, two. Wait. Why are you wearing a Tesla shirt and a MAGA hat and a blit. Oh.
Tim
Oh.
Steven Crowder
You're Elon Musk. Okay.
Josh Firestein
Yeah. From X. American History X.
Steven Crowder
Please go.
Josh Firestein
No, you go. I just bought the studio, and you're fired.
Steven Crowder
No, you didn't. No, I'm not. Leave.
Josh Firestein
No, it's the character.
Steven Crowder
Get out.
Josh Firestein
Cause Elon Musk is the character. Go Doge to the moon.
Steven Crowder
Whoa. It's an easy mistake to make. I understand why you got it.
Josh Firestein
I don't think it was a mistake.
Steven Crowder
No. Just keep swinging the bat. Keep swinging the bat.
Tim
I don't know. Maybe not.
Steven Crowder
No, I don't know. I think you should keep swinging the bat. Yeah.
Josh Firestein
Thanks for watching.
Steven Crowder
I don't know. Maybe not. By the way, if you see fraud, waste, abuse, corruption, keep in mind, Nashville, Chippewa Falls, Varma story, the COVID architect, the DOJ story, a lot of those came from you working with Mud Club undercover. Send us a tip. Lwctipsonmail.com we have a team of people who will chase down every lead. And we are willing to go to jail to protect our sources. Hey, maybe it can help prevent another shooting. You don't know if you'll prevent a shooting at Chippewa Falls. Yeah, you really don't. And I hope we never do, because I hope it never happens, but yeah, exactly. If this is one thing, we work in this. I was just talking with someone about this this morning. Look, this is a business. Of course there's. Everyone here deserves to be able to make a living. But it's not just business. If it was just business, it wouldn't make sense to invest the millions upon millions that we do in investigative journalism every year to keep ourselves covered legally to make sure that we can do this and we can't do it without you. And if it was just business, we wouldn't do the Christmas special that we do every year where we try and give back and help communities. So you can see where your dollar is going. Doesn't happen without your membership. Mug Club is Rumble Premium. Rumble Premium is Mug Club. You can now Join Louder with crowder.com Mug Club or click that button right there. It's a great Christmas gift. You can gift it. And now you get the promotional mug that is co, I guess a co branded as a feature on the Track Rumble and Loud Earth Crowder mug. You get this, you get Nick the Paulo, you get guns and gear, you get Dr. Disrespect. You get so much content that is being added to to Rumble Premium and it's ad free. And of course Mud Club Undercover. Everything you see is actually funded by viewers like you and viewers like you have some questions right now and a lot of people are saying, hey, you know, we're considering maybe moving to homeschooling. And I would say it's a good idea. Now, you see this debate take place a lot. And the debate is almost, it almost entirely takes place on either one or two, let's say one false premise. But we'll add in two. As far as people think kids can't be socialized, as far as people thinking they'll be social, they'll be functionally retarded because they're not out amongst their peers. When you look at the state of public school and not just the violence today, but you look at the state of social engineering and conditioning that is taking place, I think it's something you definitely, definitely need to consider. And if you think the roadblock is you can't afford it, or if you think the roadblock is you are not qualified. We're going to go through this today because it has been something that's been on my heart. I know a lot of people here, some of us have. Some people here have been homeschooled. Some people here do homeschooled if you can do it. And many of you are more capable of doing it than you realize. It can be a beautiful thing and it is a great leg up that you can provide to your children. So homeschooling because of COVID has been on the rise. And even since COVID people realized, wait a second, we can actually do this and it's been continuing to be on the rise. That was poor, Graham. No, I guess that works. Covid was on the rise. And that rise, that incline continues. Here's some kind of report about it.
Tim
If you homeschooled your children during the pandemic, weren't alone. There was a massive explosion of homeschooling during that time. But with the pandemic over, many thought this boom would fizzle. And in states like Colorado, that was, in fact, the case. However, a new study found that 90% of states that report homeschooling enrollment found increases for the 2023-2024 academic year. So spared no expense.
Steven Crowder
3. Yeah. 3.1 million children in the United States are homeschooled. About 6% of children in the United States. I'm going to make the case here. If that number were to get to 20, 25, 30%, our country would be far better off.
Tim
Yep.
Steven Crowder
Okay. By every metric we have available to us through the metadata, we have a lot of studies. Homeschooling is better than public schools. So let's go through some of the claims and some of the myths for those out there who are considering it. Here's a claim that you hear a lot, and it's to create a barrier to entry. Only the wealthy can. Well, that's great if you're wealthy and you have the ability, but most people can't afford homeless school. Here's the truth. Homeschooling is not only more affordable than you think, it's in many cases more affordable than even the basic costs attributed to public school. The annual average cost for homeschooling is $500 to $2,500. If you want to, you know, use some of the premium services out there. If you. There's a lot. The good thing about homeschooling is you can customize it. Hey, you know, education, you can tailor it to your child. So $500 per year for a child. I mean, that's the books you're dealing with in school, let alone all the other supplies. So you're talking about. For homeschooling, this cost would be like books, curriculum supplies, field trips, tutoring, activity fees, online courses, AP exams. And to be clear. So that's not very expensive. Most homeschool families are at or are below the median income level. So 61% of homeschooling families earn less than $75,000 a year in the household.
Josh Firestein
It is surprising.
Steven Crowder
The median income of American families is 80,000 right now.
Josh Firestein
And that's probably. That's probably one income families then, right?
Steven Crowder
Yeah.
Josh Firestein
One parent staying home.
Steven Crowder
And by the way, most 52% of homeschooling takes place with only one parent in the labor force. So if you're thinking you have to be a dink, dual income, we have to make this. No, no. It does come down to priorities. It means there will be some sacrifices. But is it worth it? This is a time where people can maybe put their money where their mouth is. Is it worth it? Hey, are you making more than 75,000 a year? Are you making more than 80,000? You absolutely can homeschool. Most people who homeschool make less than that. Those are the numbers.
Tim
That's insanely affordable too. I didn't realize it was 500 to 2,500. Even at the top end. 2,500 bucks, you're like a couple hundred bucks a month.
Josh Firestein
Yeah, it's definitely a lot less than private school.
Steven Crowder
And you know what else too?
Josh Firestein
Yes, for sure.
Steven Crowder
Yes. And you don't, by the way, you don't have to be only a one income household because here's another truth. Homeschooling takes a lot less time than you think. You know, nowadays people bemoan the gig economy. Hey, isn't it great that you could, I don't know, do Uber or work a part time job that allows you the flexibility to homeschool so you can do both. So to give you an idea, the average public school day in this country is at least six hours. Many places it's eight hours.
Tim
Yeah, I was about to say that sounds low.
Steven Crowder
It does sound low. When I went to school, it was, it was in Canada. I mean, we went to school when it was dark and we got home when it was dark.
Tim
Mine was about seven and a half hours. I think I got there when it was eight and left about 3:30 with the last bell. If I wasn't in sports, ours was.
Steven Crowder
From 9 to 4:30, but our recess was under 10 minutes and our time between classes was two minutes. It was seven minutes.
Tim
Our recess, it was like four degrees below zero outside. So you don't do much recess.
Steven Crowder
Our recess at Centennial, where I went, was just long enough to give you a panic attack if you had to make it to the other wing of.
Tim
School or you had to take a dump.
Steven Crowder
Yeah. And there was traffic and you had some crazy Latvian IT professor who would give you an after school detention if you didn't walk into class before the bell started. I argued and went to the office. I got out of my after school, I said, no, no, the bell wasn't over because it was Boo, boo, boo, boo, boo, boo, boo. I said so. Look.
Tim
What?
Steven Crowder
Last tone.
Tim
Yeah, it is a weird bill.
Josh Firestein
What is this Canadian Bell stuff?
Steven Crowder
It's really, really, it's, it's really absurd.
Josh Firestein
That is really weird.
Steven Crowder
It's remembering it.
Josh Firestein
Eight hours for my kid, seven to three is when they leave and come back. Okay, eight. Eight hours.
Steven Crowder
Yeah, that's what I was going to say. Six seems pretty low. Let's call it six to eight hours. Homeschool hours. I mean they, they vary by age. Again, you're tailoring it to children. I don't know if you know this. Young children have. They have shorter attention spans.
Tim
No.
Steven Crowder
So pre K kids and homeschooling can be 20 to 60 minutes, right? 20 minutes to an hour. Kindergarten can be 30 minutes to an hour and a half. First grade through the eighth grade, you're looking at 45 minutes. Then you gradually increase to about three hours. The ninth grade through the 12th grade, two hours to four and a half hours. And here's something that's really important too. Pretty much every study that we have available to us, all reference is available link in the description, especially if you are a parent. This one's really important. It shows that kids don't do well in learning environments beyond three or four hours. Right? Five to eight years old, their attention spans are 12 to 24 minutes, nine to 11 year olds, 20 to 30 minutes. And even if you go all the way up to 15 to 18 year olds, as far as think of it as a sprint, right? Learning something new is a sprint, it's not a marathon. Right? So you have to be revving that engine pretty high. Pretty high. When you're 15, it's still about 48 minutes. Geez, 48 minutes. And we also have studies available that say kids learn best in an environment where you cap it at about three, four hours. Let's call it the high end four hours. That tells you that public school is not designed to be optimal for learning for kids. It's designed to be a babysitter so that you can both be a dual income household and be a cog in the wheel of the machine. Do you understand that you've been conditioned to believe this? And here's the thing. Maybe you like it, but it's not a necessity. It's not. I'm telling you it's not. Public school is not designed to be the best way, the most efficient way, or honestly the healthiest way for kids to learn. It's designed to allow you to work and to be a babysitter. But that comes. Comes with a lot of baggage. Not just the shootings that we're seeing, because obviously that's a very small number, but the kind of social engineering that's probably the most common question we get. How do I prevent my child, my daughter, my son from insert the name of whatever power trip teacher here. Here's another.
Tim
Well, the thing just to buttress that point. Eight hours a day, let's call it, for what, from five to when you're 18 years old, essentially. And if you start pre K before that, I mean, the government has your kids in a lot of cases for a lot longer than you do. Because factor in sleeping time, factor in homework time. What do you get your kids for? A few hours a day, maybe. And how much of that time are you trying to spend for yourself and interacting with your kids? Like there's. We've really screwed this whole thing up, generally speaking.
Steven Crowder
So we're going through the. That you can't afford it. You can. That homeschooling is expensive. It's not that it takes up too much time. It doesn't. Right, let's move on down the trail. Here's the next claim. And I know a lot of you, and this is because you're a good parent. You want what's best for your children. So some of you have, you know, presumed imposter syndrome. Well, hold on. I don't know. I'm not qualified. I'm not good enough. Hold on a second. You have to compare yourself to public school teachers. Do you know what is being taught? I'm sorry, the real heroes.
Tim
Yes, yes, yes.
Steven Crowder
Sorry. You think that you're not more qualified to teach your child. Lot of people think I can't homeschool. I need some kind of special certification to do so. Because y'all need to stop encouraging people who are not prepared to homeschool their kids to homeschool their kids. There is a reason you need a degree and certification to teach kids in, like, public schools and stuff. Except here's the truth. Teachers didn't used to remember they didn't need certifications.
Josh Firestein
And that girl had a learning disability.
Steven Crowder
Yes, it does seem so. I knew there was something off. I'm concerned about the end stuff. It wasn't until the mid 20th century that certifications were required coast to coast. I dated a girl in high school and college. Her mom was a second grade teacher. She didn't get her degree in education. She was a fantastic teacher. And you don't need a certification to homeschool to be clear. So most states don't really have a requirement. Some states do have like a GED equivalent or high school, to be clear. So the barrier to entry is not anything crazy. Again, all of these things that are thrown up are designed to create barriers to entry. You can't teach. You need the real heroes of public educators to do it. You're not smart enough. You need a great. Well, hold on a second. When performances were better in schools, teachers did not go to school to be teachers. Some of them just got an English degree, some of them got a science degree. And they decided that they wanted to serve and teach. Here's some more proof. You know, in New York, by the way, they were always. They always talk about class size, right? You hear this a lot. We can improve schools if we decrease class size. There have been studies in New York, for example, because New York is a great sort of petri dish, where they look at some schools that were outperforming the average significantly. A lot of them were Catholic schools, parochial schools. They had much larger class size on average. I'm going by road, I think the average New York city class was 20 something. And in these Catholic schools you'd have sometimes nuns with class sizes of 35, 40 or more. And the performances were better. Here's something else. A lot of these nuns would run these schools without certifications in the public indoctrination system.
Josh Firestein
Nobody wanted to be sent to the priest's office, to be fair.
Steven Crowder
That's true.
Tim
Well, it's the nuns rulers that really were the saving grace.
Steven Crowder
I was scared of them as a. Because I knew two really, really mean nuns. Yeah, one of them beat me now.
Josh Firestein
Well, you probably had it covenant.
Steven Crowder
I did have.
Tim
She beat you for a reason.
Steven Crowder
She beat me because I earned it. Because I like the outfit.
Tim
Oh, come on.
Steven Crowder
Something about that black here's about Mary. Well, I thought she could fly.
Josh Firestein
Now look like a penguin. There's no way.
Steven Crowder
Another, another, another claim. Tell that to Sally Field. Another claim that you'll hear. And you hear this a lot. Well, homeschool kids are just. They're not socialized. The problem is they don't get the socialization. So maybe they'll do better on standardized tests because that's not even being disputed at all. Everyone knows that. So you say. Well, it's the, it's the intangibles that can't be quantified. The socialization they don't get at school. Well, here's the truth is homeschooled kids develop not only just fine Far better than kids in public schools today. So 13 out of 15 studies that were conducted will make these references available. It was homeschool versus non homeschool kids. Show that the homeschoolers were significantly more well adjusted. Let me give you some examples here. They say, oh, these can't be quantified. They can't homeschool kids more civically minded, meaning 71% were involved in community service. Or 71% more likely. Sorry. To be involved in community service. 51% more likely to attend some kind of religious service. And some of you may say, I don't like religious. But the point is, these kids are actually involved in a social circle, which is a good thing considering what we see with people who are isolated. Homeschooled kids are far more likely to attend college. 74% of homeschooled kids versus 44% of public school kids.
Tim
Wow.
Steven Crowder
And the studies show that homeschool kids, when they get to college, adapt better to higher education. Hey, it might make sense because they've actually been able to tailor education to themselves and focus on their strengths. Generalized education. And then foster the strengths of your child. We used to do that. It was called society. They're not burnt out and jaded by the concept of schooling either. Yep. Yeah, exactly right. And anyone look out there, comment below. Like, I was a CEB student, okay? I never opened a textbook. I hated it. I would wake up every day hating my life.
Tim
Mystery solved.
Steven Crowder
Public school. Never opened a textbook. Never opened.
Tim
Ding, ding, ding.
Steven Crowder
Never opened a textbook. Never open. Wait. You think you're gonna be interested in Canadian history? Oh, we said uncle to the king. Great. What a wonderful founding of a nation.
Tim
Should be a short book.
Steven Crowder
Yeah. We spent an entire semester on how when it was a colony, it burned down the White House. Cause you don't expect your friends to burn down your shit. That's all it is.
Tim
It's true.
Steven Crowder
And it was fundamentally uninteresting. I would do really well in classes that interested me, like English or like biology, things like that. Physical science. And some of the classes I didn't. I learned a lot after school. I did pretty well in college my first semester when I went and I was able to choose what it was that I was studying. Second semester. I hope no one finds my transcripts. It was like a 20 overall. I was doing stand up and I never went to class.
Josh Firestein
I was the same way. I had. My favorite class was marketing in high school. Marketing class. And that teacher was the best teacher I ever had. Mr. Rao. And he was a Sales guy.
Steven Crowder
Yeah.
Josh Firestein
He wasn't. Like, he didn't have teaching degree. He was a sales guy.
Steven Crowder
Yeah. Yeah. There you go. I had a teacher who was new. His name was Paul Mitchell. My senior year of high school.
Tim
Whoa.
Josh Firestein
He went to cosmetology.
Steven Crowder
I know, exactly.
Josh Firestein
Told me that. And that's why your hair looks so nice.
Steven Crowder
All of his students did some stuff.
Josh Firestein
That's why you look so cute today. That's why you're breaking my heart every.
Steven Crowder
Morning because I'm wearing this shirt. And he made it really clear. I remember he said, look, you write a journal because you read it every single day. You write something, don't care what it is. Could be lyrics to your favorite song. Could be a Dear Diary entry said, no one's going to read it but me. Every single day you Write something that's 10% of your grade. Then we would read a book. We would have a test on the book to see what we had retained. We would have some kind of a literary essay. Then we would have a separate essay that could be like a persuasive essay, something like that. And twice a year, we had an oral. He said, this is how you are going to be graded. Okay. Kids did so well in his class that the administration sat him down and said, your averages are too high. Kids were testing. We read Lord of the Flies. Kids tested off the charts. Right. How much do you remember from this book? Kids were testing 90. Like, kids who were basically flunkies testing 90%. So I remember he came to us one semester. He said, we're just sorry your overall grade point averages are gonna. They're just gonna be lower because they don't like it. They don't like it. And he was a great teacher. There are a few teachers that I really remember who were great. Ms. Naidu in the fourth grade taught me long division. And I remember Mr. Mitchell. He was great with Ms. Roberts in seventh grade, was really good teacher. There should be more than three. When you go from the first grade to the 11th in Canada, there should be more than three. But they say, oh, kids can't be socialized well in homeschooling. Well, that would mean that you assume you're a really bad parent. You don't have activities planned for your kids. You don't have ambitions for your kids that involve community and other children. Would you rather have a public school teacher teach your child how to identify as a cat tool man or. Or learn how to smoke from your very own dad? Yeah.
Josh Firestein
Oh, that's double smoking.
Tim
He's Grilling.
Steven Crowder
That's a cool looking dad.
Tim
He's grilling from that picture. Nice.
Josh Firestein
That's a double smoke.
Steven Crowder
Here's another truth. Homeschooled kids, they outperform public school kids in a lot of other ways. When you're just talking about actual academics, right? Standardized exams, they do significantly better. So the average homeschooler is 15 to 25 points better. On average black homeschoolers, 23 to 42 percentile points better. 87% of peer reviewed studies show that homeschoolers perform better than public or even private school counterparts. They perform better socially, emotionally, psychologically on academic performances. Now, there are some exceptions. We tried some remedial classes here in the office and it went about as well considering this troop as you can expect.
Josh Firestein
All right, class, pay attention. Battle drill three React to ambush Come on. Hey, come on guys, let's go. No computer off your phone. Come on, come on. Please pay attention. Somebody pay. You guys need this information?
Steven Crowder
Look, don't use us as an example because we're screw ups.
Tim
Yep.
Josh Firestein
Yeah. Don't come to me crying when you're getting an ambush and you don't know what to do.
Steven Crowder
No, exactly. Look, you tried your best.
Josh Firestein
I did.
Steven Crowder
All you can do is try. You can lead a horse to water, you can't force it to drink.
Josh Firestein
Well, I've been teaching for nine hours.
Steven Crowder
Yeah, well, that's pretty burden. They mentally tapped out. And here's something else too, too people out there. I want to let you know there are more resources available for homeschooling parents than ever before. It's more affordable. You don't need to do this on your own. There are groups that exist. There are homeschool pods that exist. You also have the ability to enroll your homeschool child in all of the local public school, like the athletics programs there. There are more. This is kind of the problem that we see. It's like I've said before, we have more information at our fingertips than ever. And we have people who are less informed than ever. That's the byproduct of making bad choices. Homeschooling is easier than ever. It's more accessible than ever. And you see a lot of people making excuses more than ever. And if it's not right for you, that's fine. But there are some of you where you know you maybe could do it. And it's possibly the greatest gift you could give your child, but you're choosing not to. In some instances, not all instances. I just want you to take it into consideration and Think, hey, if there was. If I'm not lying to you. If you check all of those references, if there was a way to almost statistically guarantee that your child will grow up to be better adjusted, have a better mental health. Better mental health. Better mental health outcomes. Did I say health?
Josh Firestein
That is not allowed.
Steven Crowder
Better mental health outcomes, better performative outcomes academically, a stronger sense of community for them to be a better, more well adjusted human being to go out into the world and have a chance at success in their life. What's that worth? What is that worth to you? That's a choice that you have to make. It's not right for everybody, but I think it's right for more people than we may think. And you can do it. You can do it today more easily than ever. I mean, think about it for a second. You had people homeschooling. They didn't have washing machines. When was the last time you saw a washboard? And you've got a robot vacuum and mop, and you can't do some Pre K for 45 minutes a day. Then put your kid in wrestling practice.
Tim
Come on.
Josh Firestein
True.
Steven Crowder
I miss anything?
Tim
No.
Steven Crowder
All right. And by the way, we're gonna continue here today. I think you can click that button like we said. Rumble Premium. We're gonna continue taking your chats. We are going to be playing actually Photoshop or not today, Christmas edition, which of course, we can Never do on YouTube, but I don't know if you can hear it. I'm losing my voice. There is no way that my voice is going to maintain all the way through today and tomorrow. So if you guys are okay with it, I would like to just leave the. I'll still be here.
Tim
Yeah, you'll just.
Steven Crowder
I'll just go to another place so I can be the Ed McMahon and lob some grenades over at you while you're hosting. It's time for a Korean fire drill.
Tim
Oh. To be on your phone, even if you're in.
Steven Crowder
No, I know you're not. No, it's Josh's phone.
Tim
It's Josh's phone.
Steven Crowder
Nice, Dick.
Tim
Wow. I love all you guys.
Josh Firestein
All right, check on my Amazon stuff. Make sure that my packages aren't coming with Christmas presents, and my wife will see as she walks out the door.
Steven Crowder
That's right. You really screwed the cooch on that espresso machine.
Josh Firestein
I know. I have an espresso machine. And it arrived with the picture of it on the box.
Tim
Right? Are you serious?
Josh Firestein
Yeah.
Tim
For Christmas.
Josh Firestein
Yeah. That's a way of getting anything else.
Steven Crowder
Oh, look at Gerald killing time. Gerald, Toss us. Toss us to the photoshop.
Tim
Fine.
Steven Crowder
Fine.
Tim
Mr. H, you're not in third chair. Yeah, we're going to play Photoshop.
Steven Crowder
Or not.
Tim
The Christmas edition. Tim, why don't you give us the rules for this?
Steven Crowder
I didn't roll the Stinger yet, Gerald.
Tim
Well, then roll the Stinger, Tim.
Title: Femcel Shooter? Exploring Madison Shooting Myths One By One
Host: Steven Crowder
Release Date: December 17, 2024
The episode kicks off with Steven Crowder engaging in humorous exchanges with his co-hosts, Josh Firestein and Tim, touching upon various light-hearted topics. While much of this segment serves as comic relief, it sets the stage for the more serious discussions that follow.
Early in the episode, Crowder and his team delve into a dialogue about Islamic views on celebrating Christmas, highlighting the concept of "halal" versus "non-halal" activities. Kat Morgan introduces the topic by questioning the permissibility of various Christmas traditions within Islam.
The conversation underscores the importance of religious freedom while critiquing certain cultural practices, setting up the show's stance on respecting diverse beliefs without compromising American values.
Crowder transitions to discussing a news update about a Syrian prisoner allegedly involved with the Assad regime. Skeptical of the authenticity of a video released by CNN, he questions the motives and credibility behind the portrayal of the prisoner.
Crowder asserts that institutional distrust is justified, emphasizing the need for independent verification over mainstream media narratives.
The core of the episode revolves around the Madison school shooting at Abundant Life Christian School. Crowder meticulously debunks prevalent myths surrounding the incident, emphasizing the importance of factual accuracy over sensationalism.
Crowder presents and analyzes the shooter's manifesto, highlighting themes of radical feminism and misandry. He disputes claims attributing the act to transgender identity or MAGA ideology, asserting that the shooter was motivated by anti-male sentiments.
Addressing misinformation, Crowder clarifies that the shooter was a 15-year-old girl with no evidence of being transgender or influenced by MAGA. He criticizes the rapid spread of unfounded theories on social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter).
Crowder also refutes the myth that the shooter used an AR-15, confirming instead the use of a handgun.
The discussion shifts to the broader gun control debate, where Crowder critiques the effectiveness of proposed gun laws. He cites statistics to argue that handguns are more commonly used in mass shootings and that gun-free zones have not prevented such incidents.
Crowder emphasizes the need for realistic approaches to gun violence prevention, rather than superficial legislative measures.
Shifting focus, Crowder advocates for homeschooling, presenting it as a viable and beneficial alternative to public schooling. He systematically addresses and debunks common misconceptions surrounding homeschooling.
Crowder counters the myth that homeschooling is only for the wealthy, presenting data that shows a significant number of homeschooling families earn below the median income.
He challenges the notion that parents are insufficiently qualified to educate their children, highlighting the flexibility and tailored education homeschooling offers.
Addressing concerns about socialization, Crowder presents studies indicating that homeschooled children often outperform their public school counterparts academically and are better adjusted socially.
Crowder underscores that homeschooling fosters a stronger sense of community and better mental health outcomes for children.
Throughout the episode, Crowder stresses the importance of community involvement and accountability in both media consumption and parenting. He encourages listeners to actively participate in investigative journalism and to stay informed about potential threats in their communities.
The episode concludes with Crowder urging listeners to consider homeschooling as a proactive measure against the pitfalls of public education. He highlights the increasing enrollment in homeschooling and the societal benefits it could bring if widely adopted.
Crowder invites listeners to join the "Mug Club" on Rumble Premium for exclusive content and to support the show's investigative efforts.
