Release Date: July 28, 2025
Host: Steven Crowder
Description: Steven Crowder delivers a politically charged discussion blending news, entertainment, and politics with irreverent commentary, featuring guests, rants, sketches, and listener interactions.
1. Introduction and Overview
[00:00] Steven Crowder opens the episode by welcoming listeners to the Rumble lineup, emphasizing the platform's dominance over YouTube and teasing the day's topics:
- Ghislaine Maxwell's Sex Trafficking Case
- EU Trade Deals following the Japan Agreement
- Critique of Leftist Predictions on Climate Change and Economy
- Media Coverage of the Traverse City Stabbing Incident
Crowder asserts with confidence, "Every single prediction that the left has made regarding these trade deals is verifiably wrong," setting the tone for a critical examination of left-leaning expert opinions.
2. EU Trade Deals: A Victory Against 'Stupid Experts'
[26:16] Steven Crowder delves into President Trump's successful negotiations with the European Union, highlighting the substantial trade agreements secured:
- 15% Tariff Reduction on most EU goods
- €750 Billion in U.S. energy purchases by the EU
- €600 Billion in additional investments into the United States
- No Tariffs imposed on American goods by the EU
Crowder emphasizes the significance: "President Trump has secured major trade deals... This is probably the biggest deal ever reached in any capacity, trade or beyond trade. It is."
He contrasts these achievements with the left's consistent failure to uphold predictions, stating, "All of their predictions from the experts have been verifiably false."
3. Critique of Leftist Predictions and Media Narratives
[27:33] Steven Crowder criticizes the left for repeatedly making erroneous economic forecasts, particularly regarding tariffs and inflation:
-
Tariffs and Inflation: The left warned that Trump's tariffs would spike inflation and harm the economy. However, Crowder points out that year-over-year inflation stood at 2.7%, a manageable rate compared to the 5% under Biden and 9% in previous years.
[28:10] Crowder: "2.7% is right about average. Compare it to Biden, it was 5% average... And now we have five months in a row where inflation is lower than expected."
-
Media Misrepresentation: He accuses the mainstream media of revisionist history and propaganda, arguing they omit positive outcomes of Trump's policies while exaggerating negatives from left-led administrations.
Crowder further highlights the inaccuracy of leftist narratives using examples like Bill Maher's shifting stances, labeling Maher as unreliable:
[30:05] Crowder: "Bill Maher... has to admit that even he was wrong... He's not an economist. He didn't do like the research..."
4. Defending Fitness and Sacha Baron Cohen
[11:03] Captain Morgan and Gerald Morgan engage in a humorous debate about fitness, leading Crowder to criticize the left's antagonism toward fitness. He uses Sacha Baron Cohen as a case study:
[11:29] Gerald Morgan: "The gym hard by putting these results on full display..."
Crowder defends personal fitness, arguing against the notion that fitness is a symbol of white supremacy:
[14:10] Crowder: "Feminists are still mad... they don't want you to improve yourself."
He mocks the "dad bod" movement, asserting that true fitness benefits individuals and their families, contrary to leftist narratives that promote self-deprecation.
5. Media Coverage of the Traverse City Stabbing Incident
[47:30] Steven Crowder shifts focus to a critical incident: the Traverse City Walmart stabbing spree. He accuses mainstream media of omitting crucial details about the role of a citizen with a firearm in stopping the attacker.
-
Initial Reports: Media presented the event as a random, senseless attack without highlighting the intervention by Derek Perry, a Marine veteran who did not discharge his weapon but effectively subdued the attacker.
[50:02] Crowder: "He didn't drop the knife. He should have shot him."
-
Defensive Gun Use: Crowder underscores the importance of firearms in self-defense, citing statistics of 500,000 to 3 million annual defensive gun uses in the U.S.
[56:52] Crowder: "500,000 to 3 million defensive uses of firearms every year."
-
Criticism of Media Bias: He argues that media outlets downplay or ignore the defensive role of firearms, instead perpetuating narratives of a gun violence epidemic:
[58:19] Crowder: "Without a gun, do you know what you refer to all of them as? Victims or deceased."
Crowder urges listeners to embrace firearm ownership as a means of ensuring personal and community safety, positioning it as a fundamental right being undermined by leftist policies.
6. Ghislaine Maxwell and the Epstein Case
Later in the episode, Crowder addresses the high-profile case of Ghislaine Maxwell, connecting it to Donald Trump:
-
Maxwell's Immunity Deal: He reports that Maxwell was granted limited immunity to speak with Trump's personal attorney, Todd Blanche, in relation to Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking crimes.
[62:28] Crowder: "She's serving a 20-year sentence... Child sex trafficking. It's a good thing."
-
Critique of the Justice System: Crowder insinuates a cover-up or deal-making between Maxwell and Trump's legal team, questioning the integrity of the judicial process surrounding high-profile figures.
[63:00] Crowder: "She's looks like Martha Stewart with black hair... A bad sex chunk."
7. Conclusion and Call to Action
In wrapping up, Crowder reiterates his optimistic view of the U.S. economy under Trump's trade policies, dismissing ongoing leftist criticisms as baseless. He encourages listeners to:
-
Support Rumble Premium: Highlighting exclusive content and ad-free experiences.
[50:21] Crowder: "I want as many people legally carrying firearms in this country as humanly possible."
-
Advocate for Firearm Ownership: Emphasizing personal responsibility and the right to self-defense as pillars of American freedom and security.
[51:00] Crowder: "Every single one of you should purchase a firearm and get good with said firearm and carry it as often as you possibly can."
Crowder closes by contrasting Trump's proactive trade strategies with the left's inconsistent and often detrimental policies, positioning the episode as a testament to the right's resilience and effectiveness in challenging leftist narratives.
