Steven Crowder
Welcome, everybody. Thank you, Vince. I wish I had a cool Italian name that people couldn't pronounce. I'm not even gonna try. Glad to have you here. Today is a big day because Monday is even bigger. This is the last day anyone who is watching on YouTube that we stream live on YouTube. Monday the 24th is D Day, where all streaming going forward is exclusive on Rumble. And it's not just me, it's the rest of the lineup that you can tune into live from 9am until 4pm and it's going to be growing out. You have Tim Pool. You have Jeremy at the court.

You don't get any of their spam. You don't get algorithms telling you to watch Transgender tutorial makeup guides. Whatever's going on on YouTube these days, I have no idea, because it's a cesspool of filth and sadness where dreams go to die. Monday, 24th is D Day. YouTube is dead. Rumble did it. Enjoy these visual medleys. Hi, I'm rumble.
YouTube
And I'm YouTube, the number one place for live streaming.
Steven Crowder
Oh, no, you're not. He's not. You piece of. Whoa.
YouTube
Now, calm yourself down. We don't tolerate that kind of language here.
Steven Crowder
Well, I don't care if you. Oh, that's right. This is on YouTube, isn't it?
YouTube
Oh, you are in MySpace.
Steven Crowder
No. You're going the way of MySpace. Antiquated, old, obsolete ageism.
Gerald Morgan
Huh?
Steven Crowder
Oh, that's gonna be a strike. That's a strike. Hey, come on.
YouTube
Hey, come on, buddy.
Steven Crowder
Hey, look at this. What? YouTube is dead. Rumble did it. Watch the new Rumble Live lineup Monday through Friday, including Lydeworth Crowder at our new time, 11am Eastern.
Josh Firestein
Your subscription bell is shot to hell. There's turning back, censored and all Fighting some hard strike to try and get paid but YouTube sucks that's what you've come to expect YouTube is gay. YouTube is gay. YouTube is gay. YouTube is gay. Please subscribe and like, hey, there's a D. It's all so obscene YouTube, you know what you did and these idiot kids you think don't have a clue they're starting to get wise to your games it looks like you're through YouTube is getting gay. YouTube is gay.
Steven Crowder
I'm going to cancel YouTube on the 24th.
Josh Firestein
YouTube is gay. YouTube is gay. YouTube is Gay. YouTube is gay.
Steven Crowder
Monday is D day. Monday, we all cancel YouTube. All streaming is going to be exclusively live on Rumble from now on with a continual lineup Monday through Friday, 9am to 4pm Eastern and expanding. That's this Monday the 24th. YouTube is dead. Rumble did it. That's the sound of. Well now Friday live live rumble weekdays 11am Eastern. We have a lot to get to today. Apparently Canada is preparing for an invasion.
Gerald Morgan
Oh, really?
Steven Crowder
In the United States. And by that I mean surrender.
YouTube
I'm just glad they're finally building a wall.
Steven Crowder
Yes, it's really more of a moat with a couple of bricks.
Gerald Morgan
Maple syrup.
Steven Crowder
Listen to the little piggy story. You can't do it out of sticks. Now, Donald Trump has also gutted. Or is it straw? I don't remember both of them. They were screw ups. Donald Trump is gutting the Department of Education is what you'll hear. Teachers will be out of a job. It's the lie. And also today we do a what we missed since it's Friday. I know a lot of you are on the road and some of you are listening to this and you get to send in chat. What we miss, what you want us to cover because we can't cover everything every day if we didn't already have to do with the intro, which I don't think so. I think it's okay to call something gay now on YouTube because it's 2025. People are less sensitive. But at some point today, if you're still watching on YouTube for the very last day of our livestreams there, you may see this. Head on over to Rumble.
YouTube
Oh, I like that little sound effect.
Steven Crowder
And you know what? Let's take a trip down memory lane. What was your favorite ladder with Crowder moment here or Mud club moment on YouTube? Comment below. It's been a saga, you know, several, several billion plays in the making. And this is a pretty big shift. And I'm happy to do it.
Gerald Morgan
Absolutely. And YouTube, you still owe us some plaques because we want to destroy those too.
Steven Crowder
That's true. So YouTube owes us three plaques.
Gerald Morgan
Three.
Steven Crowder
And they refused to send the other ones Once they saw that we literally blew it up on a video. Apparently they don't take kindly to tannerite.
YouTube
Well, they can't. Cause they don't cost that much money to make, I assume.
Steven Crowder
No, it was the principle of it.
Gerald Morgan
They're ours.
Steven Crowder
Which is also it was the principle for us why we urinated on it and blew it up at a gun range. Yes, Captain Morgan, CEO, hope you are well, sir.
Gerald Morgan
Doing well.
Steven Crowder
And Josh Firestein, of course, is here. Not underscore Firestein and X. That's not him. He of course wouldn't violate the rules.
YouTube
No, I would never violate the rules. Actually, I met the same number of followers I had before I got banned the first.
Steven Crowder
Before you mean the, the other account.
YouTube
Finally built my don't have the followers.
Steven Crowder
That the other account.
YouTube
This, this new guy has the same amount of followers that I had when I got banned.
Steven Crowder
Ah, new guy. So go follow the new guy.
YouTube
Now it's time to threaten the Canadian police.
Steven Crowder
Yeah, it's like the sixth day of X. By the way, comment below for those of you who understood the reference in that intro. For those of you who don't, I apologize for the confusion, but we did it anyway. Hope you enjoyed it. No, you don't.
Gerald Morgan
You don't apologize.
Steven Crowder
Before we get to more stories, Rosie O'Donnell. You know she's in Ireland now. They're not happy about it. She has some send her back to.
YouTube
The jungle with Tarzan. That's what I said.
Steven Crowder
I don't know if you also saw the price of potatoes went up like $4 a pound. Wow. Scarcity.
Gerald Morgan
Come on, Rosie.
Steven Crowder
So she dec to opine on politics, clothing and her daughters though I'm dead naming here, but I'll say daughter pronouns.
Rosie O'Donnell
It's not easy to move to another.
YouTube
Country and it is in your rich.
Rosie O'Donnell
Really felt as a family this was the safest and best thing for us to do. And it looks like sadly we were correct when shopping today at a wonderful boutique in Dublin to get some clothes for myself that fit better.
Steven Crowder
Good luck.
Rosie O'Donnell
One of those people who's always had a weight issue and no now that I'm a size large instead of an.
Steven Crowder
XL or then you must be very proud of yourself.
Rosie O'Donnell
I find it. I find it shocking.
YouTube
Me too.
Steven Crowder
But they didn't sell a tarp.
Rosie O'Donnell
I really do. One more thing. I just watched it back. I know that I say she a lot with clay and I really need to use they them as the tattoo I got right there on my wrist.
Steven Crowder
In case you forget your insanity.
Rosie O'Donnell
She's backwards for you. It looks like yet Y E H.
YouTube
T yet but like you haven't lost enough weight yet.
Rosie O'Donnell
Those are the pronouns and I'm trying my best. I know that she's sneak in and I'm embarrassed of it and I'm really working on it. So that's all. Take care, everyone. Bye bye.
Steven Crowder
Well, Rosie, I appreciate you keep working on it. It's pronounced nyet, as in no more by the Way you're so gung ho, Ray. You have such conviction about these pronouns that you have to get a permanent tattoo to remind you of it.
YouTube
You know, I am a little sad that Rosie O'Donnell's now a smaller size than me.
Gerald Morgan
Aw, come on.
YouTube
Wait, I'm making fat jokes as good as you, though. Well, thank you. I agree.
Steven Crowder
She's always been a smaller size in talent.
YouTube
Oh, thanks.
Steven Crowder
Also, there's a little part of me that just. I'm thrilled that the angry lesbian wrote who hates her country now has to worry about offending her more progressive daughter. Mom, you don't understand. You're so close minded. What? I scissor. I've told you. Progress for the sake of.
YouTube
Wait till Conor McGregor's her president.
Steven Crowder
Oh yeah, Conor McGregor. If he becomes president, he's gonna deport her right away.
YouTube
Conor's gonna look at her daughter and go, who the is that guy?
Steven Crowder
I'm gonna protest. You'll do nothing. Jeez. It's just progress for the sake of progress. You guys see, it leads. Well, it leads to nowhere, but it leads to evil eventually. She can't get along. Just think about it. The Gap used to be every film. Used to be. I'm not. No son of mine's gonna be a queer. You know, like the people who don't exist in real life. But 20 years from now it's gonna be a lesbian. Mom was like, no daughter. No daughter of mine's gonna be a they mom. You're such a close minded traditional lesbian. So stop.
Gerald Morgan
Oh my God. I'm glad she's out of the country. Hope she stays that way.
Steven Crowder
Oh, she won't. They have smaller portion sizes. She's going to be having that hankering for golden brown.
YouTube
Wouldn't it be funny if Ireland Large was American Double X? I lost weight. I went to this lovely boutique. I was a size small in Ireland.
Gerald Morgan
Ok?
Steven Crowder
The shopkeeper's like, are you gonna tell her or should I?
Gerald Morgan
No, don't do it.
Steven Crowder
And by the way, let's move on to Canada here. I know I was raised there, but was born in Detroit just in case. Well, right outside Detroit. No one's actually born in Detroit. They're mugged there or carjacked. But I'm American. I was given dual citizenship which I want to figure out how to reject. I still don't know how to do that. Shred the passport. Yeah, I guess I don't even know.
YouTube
You'Re holding onto it.
Steven Crowder
It's a silly place. It is a very, very silly place. But now they're upset. In case you thought that President Trump was joking, he made it explicitly clear that he wants Canada. And now they're preparing for an invasion because of this. He wants Canada to be the 51st state.
Tim Pool
And to be honest with you, Canada only works as a state. It doesn't. We don't need anything they have as a state. It would be one of the great states anyway. This would be the most incredible country visually.
Steven Crowder
Visually. You sure about that? Said Saskatchewan.
YouTube
You looking for a tillybutt? What's up, donnybrook?
Steven Crowder
Careful, that's my cousin.
YouTube
I see the resemblance.
Gerald Morgan
How does that thing survive winter?
YouTube
Well, you know, the weights out of the insulation.
Steven Crowder
Other people survive winter by crawling into her. Like Luke Skywalker. Camel. So Canada's all upset about this. Which brings us to the latest installment, and it does relate to you as an American. No, Canada. Didn't we have a new stinger with a national anthem on? No. Canada, maybe. I thought we did.
Gerald Morgan
By the way, was that a Star Wars?
Steven Crowder
It was more. It was more offensive to you. Didn't we have one right, Noodles? We did. Okay, guys, send it in. It's fun. Anytime. We can poke our finger in the chest of the socialists up north. That's great.
YouTube
Let's put my finger into that fat lady from that Photoshop.
Steven Crowder
Yeah, well, you'll lose it. Hey, you better not poke me with anything you want back.
YouTube
That's so gross.
Steven Crowder
Just assumes you like a cosmic bunny hole in there, eh?
YouTube
I was gonna say she'd be a great goalie, but you'd lose the puck.
Steven Crowder
Disposable pucks.
YouTube
Yeah.
Steven Crowder
Yeah. Well, I'll tell you what. You better send yourself a bucket of pucks there. So, new article in the Free Press. It profiled that Canadians are willing to take on America. Now, Dr. Raghu Venugo Powell. I hope I'm saying it right, but I don't really care. Canadian?
Gerald Morgan
Yeah.
Steven Crowder
From Ontario. Said this about fighting for Canada. He said there are many out there who would have no limit how we would defend this great nation. Many of us would rather have our eyes spooned out, be thrown in acid and eviscerated, tortured, run over by tanks, have our heart pulled from our mouth than have anything to do with the United States. Rather have our eyes spooned out. Which prompted the US army to make a change to their standard issue sidearm. So that is. Yeah, well, I was joking.
YouTube
No, we adapt to our enemies.
Steven Crowder
Sir. I see 18 spoons, four clicks out.
YouTube
Hey, we're kind.
Steven Crowder
Okay. Yes. Yeah, yeah, we'll do it.
YouTube
Well, you want it, we'll kill you the way you want.
Steven Crowder
Yes, exactly. Spoons. That's fine.
YouTube
Yeah.
Steven Crowder
We could go with a spork. Probably easier. Probably get a little. So there's a new survey, by the way. It says one out of four Canadians see the United States as an enemy country, while the same poll shows that four out of four Americans still don't give a. So there's that. Here's the thing. Canada, and this is we're going to get also to Ukraine later and this proposal of the United States controlling some of their nuclear plants. This is where we are in the United States. Right. And we've been exploited. People are taking advantage of our good graces. But even worse, it's the grandstanding. It's them acting as though they have a leg to stand on. It's them acting as though they have any kind of leverage. And this is really. It's exclusively a problem in the modern world that frankly, the United States has created by being far too benevolent. And I mean that Canada has a few obstacles if they went to war with the United States. So let me give you just like some comparisons here. For example, like active service members, that's relevant. United states has about 2.1 million. Canada has less than a 20th of that with 97,000. And half of them are drunks.
YouTube
That's smaller than Amarillo.
Steven Crowder
Yes. Tanks, we've got 4,600, give or take. Canada has 80. So I don't like.
YouTube
That's a good start.
Steven Crowder
Yeah. Fighter jets, we have 1600. Canada has 79. Aircraft carriers. We have 11. Canada has none.
Gerald Morgan
This is a serious country.
Steven Crowder
Nukes, Canada has none.
YouTube
That's the only one that matters, in my opinion.
Gerald Morgan
Well, that's helpful also, by the way.
Steven Crowder
If Canada, let's say if they expend some of these, they need to purchase them a lot of this equipment from the United States.
YouTube
Do you think you would sell us a nuke? We might need it in the future.
Steven Crowder
Yeah. Look, we got some French Canadians out there who are problem. Like maybe, you know, you could spare some uranium. Those separatists just think this is this.
YouTube
I think we keep uranium from them. I think.
Steven Crowder
I think.
YouTube
But they don't make nukes.
Steven Crowder
No, they don't.
YouTube
That's a silly place.
Steven Crowder
Make nukes. We don't make war. We have peacekeepers. Really? Yeah. You're welcome to the United States military. You're a silly, silly country. And this is where we are. I was raised in Canada. Comment. I know you right now, quite a few of you watching Might be Canadian. I had to live with the anti Americanism my whole life. I had a teacher blame the Vietnam war on my dad at a PTA meeting.
YouTube
Well, it was his fault.
Steven Crowder
Yeah, thanks. And she also kicked me out of class because, hand to God, I said there were 50 states. She corrected me. She went, ah, ah, ah. There are 52. Don't forget Alaska and Hawaii. And I went, ah, ah, ah. Including Alaska and Hawaii, there are 50, you dumb bitch. And I got kicked out.
Gerald Morgan
No, I didn't say that.
Steven Crowder
You should have everything else except that I said it quietly.
YouTube
That's true though. She got kicked out of class. You corrected her.
Steven Crowder
Yep. My brother and I prank called her every single day for a week. Ten years later, just yelling 50 states on her answer.
Gerald Morgan
That's arginine on her face ten years later.
Steven Crowder
Ask Johnny boy, he'll tell. Wow. Yep.
Gerald Morgan
Would you set a calendar reminder to be pissed off?
Steven Crowder
Precisely. That's exactly.
YouTube
That is.
Steven Crowder
We set a reminder.
Gerald Morgan
It was a Palm Pilot.
Steven Crowder
And same thing, the rest of the world, they all look and they go, oh, you Americans are so. Just look. Shut up. Social media is not the same as real life. People can go out and say, we're ready to take on the United States. Well, if it's a fight they want, it's a fight they'll get, by God. Eh? You don't want this. And by the way, if we were going to describe as to how we will eviscerate you with little to no effort, you're not even gonna understand this answer. So how about you sit down, be grateful and play ball? We're not asking you to do anything that's unfair or anything that we won't do ourselves. You're welcome. If you add all of this up right, you add up the active service members, the jets, the aircraft carriers, and in case you question me, all references are available, every single show link in the description. I encourage you to peruse it. They still have allies like this.
Jeremy
You can't make Canada the 51st state without going to war with them.
Steven Crowder
Want to bet?
Jeremy
And let me explain how that happened, how that worked out. The last time we tried to go to war with Canada, they burned the White House to the ground in 1814.
Steven Crowder
Because you don't expect your friends to burn down your crap.
Jeremy
Canada beat us in the War of 1812.
YouTube
Canada or the King and Queen.
Jeremy
It was a colony against us. We're not gonna beat them in a war because we have never been able to do that. They're also mustard since we're backing out of NATO. Doesn't that mean that Europe would come to the defense of Canada and we'd now be fighting NATO?
Steven Crowder
Oh my. Well, I guess they'd have to get to their prom. 2% spending as far as a percentage of their GDP. NATO, which Canada hasn't done, but they promise they'll do it by 2030 something. Along with all of the other European countries. Again, we protect all of them. NATO, I don't think this is a fight you want. Take your best shot. We're not asking. The United States is not asking for anything unfair. They say tyrannical when we're saying, hey, look, look. Can you spend half of what we spend so that you don't rattle your tin cup to us every single time you actually need help. Do you guys get it? These people are anti American when they are blaming the United States and they're praising NATO. These people are bad friends. They are bad allies. We signed a contract. We made a promise. They signed a contract, they made a promise. One nation has honored it consistently and we're the bad guys. Oh, that's right. Because you hate America. And it's more than just military. Culturally, and I've talked about this. Everything is downstream from culture. The average American has much higher testosterone than the average Canadian, which is no surprise. Canada, the number is 402 nanograms per deciliter. The United States is 459 nanograms per deciliter. How's our balls taste now?
YouTube
Ouch. Like pineapple.
Steven Crowder
Depends. I will acknowledge that we, you know, we're better than Canada, but we do pale in comparison to. This is a real stat. Uzbekistan, where they have 773 nanograms per deciliter.
YouTube
Is that the dark blue area?
Gerald Morgan
Yeah.
YouTube
Under Russia.
Steven Crowder
Yes. 773.
YouTube
Wow. And then there's this big dark blue area in the middle of Africa too.
Steven Crowder
Yeah, yeah. A lot of testosterone. And you know, it should come as no surprise. Just ask a average Uzbekistani Bob. This is. Wow. Come on. We should have known.
YouTube
Whoa.
Steven Crowder
We thought he was juicing. Turns out he's just. That's all natural Uzbekistanian. I know that's not how it's said. I don't care. This has been. No Canada. No Canada. That's the one I wanted.
Gerald Morgan
Ah, there we go.
Steven Crowder
We've made. We've made fun of Canada so much.
Gerald Morgan
I forget we have variations on it.
Steven Crowder
We do have. Hey, look, it's Indian Matt Walsh on cnn.
YouTube
Oh, my God. Yeah, it is.
Gerald Morgan
What is feces?
YouTube
Oh, my gosh.
Steven Crowder
What is a toilet.
YouTube
Am I tech support?
Steven Crowder
By the way, I have a question for you. If an invasion of Canada happened, and of course it very likely is not going to happen, but it's on the table, how long do you think Canada would last? Just place your bets below. It's our last day on YouTube, so let's have fun with it. Again, if you are still on YouTube, this is the last day we're streaming on YouTube. We'll still have some clips, I think, on Crowded Bits, but last day we're streaming full show. You have to go to Rumble. Download the app. Download the app. Follow us on the app on Rumble. And don't do it right now, but if you have the app on your phone and you haven't used it in a while, just update it. Because the Rumble app now is seamless. You can play in a window, you can lock your phone, listen to audio. And I know a lot of you, a lot of truck drivers listen to the show.
Gerald Morgan
Yeah.
Steven Crowder
And then say, what was that? It didn't make sense. I'm like, well, it's really a visual show and I don't want you to crash.
Gerald Morgan
Yeah.
Steven Crowder
Because I don't want your job to be automated.
Gerald Morgan
Well, just set the auto truck drive thing. I've seen the Simpsons. They've got that.
Steven Crowder
I have no idea what you're talking about.
Gerald Morgan
Kick back and relax.
Steven Crowder
All right. You've never seen that Simpsons? No. Thanks for the contribution.
Gerald Morgan
Thanks.
YouTube
You know, the longest run, that question, how long would Canada last? I. You know, we have rules of engagement.
Steven Crowder
Yeah.
YouTube
That prohibit our guys a lot. If you didn't have those.
Steven Crowder
It's true. Yeah.
YouTube
A week.
Steven Crowder
Yeah.
Gerald Morgan
Not even a week.
Steven Crowder
It wouldn't even be. I mean, just look at the numbers. It's not even close.
Gerald Morgan
I don't think the rest of the world would come to their aid to be like Canada.
YouTube
That's what I think that they think. I think that these people who. I get it. It's only one out of four. Got it. But I think these people think that NATO will come to their.
Steven Crowder
I think they think.
YouTube
So onto their side they go, oh, yeah, Germany.
Gerald Morgan
And send them a get free soon card.
Steven Crowder
Yes, exactly. Hey, here's another story, by the way, that is quite a bit of fun. Before we get to the Department of Education. Thanks, Sam. A Trump supporter said this is an article from Newsweek that he still has no regrets after his wife was detained by ice. So this is a story in who wears the pants in this household. That's really what this is. It's a lesson in that. So Camilla Muniz knows is a Peruvian citizen who overstayed her initial visa and then was arrested by ICE immediately upon returning from their honeymoon in Puerto Rico. The husband, Bradley Bartel, said this about Trump. He said, I don't regret the vote. I guess that was a terrible honeymoon. Yeah, right. Well, he said this about Trump and the immigration system, you know, because consistency matters. He said he didn't create the system, but he does have an opportunity to improve it. Hopefully, all this attention will bring to light how broken it is immediately in front of his wife and made her watch him make this statement. It's a power move.
Gerald Morgan
It really is.
Steven Crowder
Now, none of this should be a surprise. It's making the rounds everywhere. Like, we kind of saw this coming, especially if you had taken the time to check out. We actually obtained this and I believe released it a couple days ago. The leaked dashcam footage of the incident in question. That's enough, Camilla. I was not talking about your mother and you know it.
Bradley Bartel
Listen to me, okay? Cause last time when she came over, she saw you in the garage with all your cevisas and she counted how many you were drinking.
Steven Crowder
Come on, that's a load of horse. Great. Now we're getting pulled over. Are you happy? Wait, your mother wasn't there that day.
Bradley Bartel
She told me. She told me you drank so many that you were falling over and you were talking to yourself. You were doing it all night.
Steven Crowder
No, no. Now I know you're telling. I was not doing any of that.
Bradley Bartel
That's what my mother says. She said you drive bad, too. She said you almost kill a man on a bike and you hit a bird. You hate birds. What did a bird ever do to you, huh? You little bird hater.
Steven Crowder
Hey, that is Adel. I am not a bird hater. And you know as much. She's a lying, miserable b. Tch. And she can drive herself off a cliff as far as I can.
Bradley Bartel
How dare you talk about my mother like that. That woman is the reason I am here.
Steven Crowder
That's why I dare.
Bradley Bartel
The reason I am with. She risked everything for me and my eight brothers and sisters so we could have a good life in this country right here with you.
Steven Crowder
I don't know if it's your mom or it's a rat house.
Bradley Bartel
That is not appropriate.
Steven Crowder
How many children do you need?
YouTube
License and registration, please.
Steven Crowder
Oh, no. Oh, honey, look. Oh, it's. It's ice. Oh. How did you know that my wife was illegal? No, please don't take her back to her home country. That's not here.
Gerald Morgan
That Escalated.
Steven Crowder
Gotta keep your man. You gave him an out. I mean, that's no way to start a marriage. That's no way to start a marriage. No, absolutely not. I don't blame him either. You fake him out. You don't nag until after the honeymoon.
YouTube
This is the second honeymoon.
Steven Crowder
Oh, okay, that makes sense.
YouTube
They get separate honeymoons.
Steven Crowder
We were renewing our vows. Well, you'll be renewing your passport if you try and get back in here.
YouTube
So I renew your Miranda rights.
Steven Crowder
I knew. I remember Miranda in high school. I did not like her. Now, President Trump yesterday signed an executive order, and this is going. I mean, it's going viral, but it's being misrepresented. Okay. If you're new here, you may not know we have another show called three and three. Actually, you can bring this up. Three and three, where it's three key facts in three minutes or less. And we cover the topics that you want to know most. Three irrefutable facts, where we provide those references to you. And one of the first ones we did was on the Department of Education. Education. It's less than three minutes. Three key facts. The founding of the Department of Education, the amount of funding it's received and the test scores. The results. Okay, it's bad. You spent trillions of dollars, and kids are dumber. Let me lay that groundwork. So now President Trump is trying to fix this, and he's taking an approach that is different than the approach we've taken since the 1970s, which has been nothing more than status quo. More money. Status quo. More money. Status quo, More money. You, the American worker, subsidize the world's defense. And you, the American worker, that includes business owners, you are paying for these awful schools that have consistently gotten worse. So let me ask you. People are outraged at this. We'll cover their misrepresentations. But what's the alternative, if not changing course here, trying something different. Different. What's your solution? So yesterday, President Trump signed an executive order, effectively putting an end to the Department of Education.
Tim Pool
History has proven them right. Absolutely right. After 45 years, the United States spends more money on education by far than any other country and spends likewise by far more money per pupil than any country. And it's not even close. But yet. Yet we rank near the bottom of the list in terms of success. It's an amazing stat.
Steven Crowder
Doing crowd work with children.
Tim Pool
Where are you from? Turned out to be very good for the country. And I said, let's use that same pen. I don't know. Is anybody Superstitious, Ron, are you superstitious? Let's use that same pen. Okay.
YouTube
That kid behind him, someone is.
Steven Crowder
Look, Wednesday. Adams likes it.
YouTube
What is that? What did the other kids executive order say? More animal crackers?
Steven Crowder
Yes, exactly. After nap. And Bobby is a.
Gerald Morgan
If Stephen had been there, he would have drawn a penis.
Steven Crowder
I would have. I would have anatomically correct the vein and the fur. Now, I know what you're going to say, Young. For that, there needs to be an act of Congress to fully shutter the Department of Education. I get it. However, and I think that's overlaid B2. The actions that Donald Trump is taking here. President Trump, it's the same strategy as usaid. It would basically render the agency useless. Okay, so in addition to this executive order, when it. As it relates to education, the Trump administration has done quite a bit. Right. Let me rapid fire this for you. You can check the references to sort of expound upon them. There have been some executive orders basically using grants to prioritize school choice. That's a great thing. Means that the funding is attached to the student, not necessarily attached to the school. Eliminate federal funds for dei. He's cut federal grants to universities that permitted harassment and discrimination. For example, $400 million cut from Colombia for pro Hamas, pro terrorist encampments. And of course, the AFT Union president, Randy Weingarten isn't happy. If you're new here, Randy Weingarten is a woman, which brings us to claim. Truth.
YouTube
Is it claim she's a woman. Truth she's not.
Steven Crowder
No.
Gerald Morgan
I'll see.
YouTube
Well, that's how you set it up.
Gerald Morgan
Don't ruin it.
Steven Crowder
Here's the thing. I'll show you a video and you'll still question if I'm being honest with you. So claim from Rendi that Trump's actions on the Department of Education are really going to hurt people. Something, something, especially teachers.
Randi Weingarten
This is what the federal Department of Education does. It's the opportunity agent. It's the equalizer. So everything that it does, from the first moment that Johnson did the war on Poverty to now, it is about getting poor kids some money for like a reading specialist. When you're trying to deal with literacy and helping a poor kid, it's been a disaster. Getting a kid who has a disability.
Steven Crowder
Worse.
Randi Weingarten
Occupational therapy or physical therapy. Getting a kid who's going to college and their parents can't afford it, a Pell grant. And when they cut, schools are more.
Steven Crowder
Expensive, more kids are autistic.
Randi Weingarten
It's like evisceration by a thousand cuts. So you want to do this? Have the fight with us in Congress?
Steven Crowder
Let's.
Randi Weingarten
Let's make sure we get the issues out there. I'm so mad. I'm spitting mad about this.
Steven Crowder
Really? You're spitting mad? Okay, let me just go through exactly what she said before I get to some of the sort of macro truths she says. Lyndon Johnson. Okay, great. Black Americans. Andrew Breitbart was accused of being a racist when he said this. Black Americans, as far as literacy, as far as divorce rates, rates, as far as crime, were performing better. This does not mean that I support it, but you have to ask why had better metrics during Jim Crow era laws than today. There were more dads in the household, there were fewer black criminals, and kids were learning more. Just to be clear, doesn't mean it's right. I'm not saying that he was accused of being racist because Andrew Breitbart was trying to say, our Department of Education clearly isn't working. It hasn't served. It was designed to get them money. Okay. Has it put money in their pocket? Are black people wealthier or are more black people poor? Has the war on poverty worked? And she said it was to help kids with disabilities. More kids are retarded. It was to help literacy rates. Okay, they're worse. Literally nothing she says there holds water. But most folks, you know, didn't necessarily have those facts at the ready. They had the same reaction after she spoke. How about this?
Tim Pool
Shut your mouth or I'll kick your.
Steven Crowder
Teeth down your throat and I'll shut it for you. He said it, not me.
Gerald Morgan
Wow.
YouTube
No emotion on that guy's face.
Steven Crowder
Here's the truth. And after this. I know you had something you wanted to add, Gerald. She's also been complaining, really? About teachers. And this is going after teachers. Let's have the fight in Congress. We've been having it for a long time. The cuts are administrative. So again, if you listen to what Trump has actually said and what he's doing, this is his stance on the teachers.
Tim Pool
I want to just make one little personal statement. Teachers, to me, are among the most important people in this country, and we're going to take care of our teachers. And I don't care if they're in the union or not in the union. That doesn't matter. But we're going to take care of our teachers. And I believe. I believe the states will take actually better care of them.
Gerald Morgan
I believe he's correct. I believe the states are going to do a much better job of taking care of teachers. By the way, she's also trying to make everybody afraid of what programs are going to go away. Pay grants, loans, stuff like that. That's going to move to the Department of Treasury. That's a pretty simple one right there. Why didn't she just say that? Oh, it's moving to a different department. No, no, no, no. I got to scare people now. Let's go to the best one. Oh, kids, they have to have food, nutrition. Kids don't learn because they're hungry. That's probably a problem in the top five. But the number one problem I think we worked out, that's actually going to the Department of Agriculture, that they're going to be fine. That's still going to. That's still going to be a thing. You just don't like that the power is not going to be centralized anymore for you. Yeah, that's your biggest issue.
Steven Crowder
Also, we have a bigger. We have more people dying of obesity than starvation in this country. Think about that for a second.
Gerald Morgan
We could just eat the fat people, right?
Steven Crowder
Yep.
Gerald Morgan
Oh, no, that's not what you're saying.
Steven Crowder
It's. Well, I'm not maybe. I mean, it's a possibility. We'd have to run some of the numbers. But the point is, hey, you know what? That's kind of a win. We're dying because of too much stuff. I don't know if you know this. That's a pretty modern problem. Now, let's look at what Donald Trump. He said he cares about the teachers. His actions would suggest that 50% is. What we're seeing is a reduction in the Department of Education. He cut it in half. 50%. So 4,200 staff reduced down to 2,100. He placed some DEI staff on leave. And just to be clear, these are administrators. These aren't teachers. This is important because the teachers union, really, let's just call it the Public Education union.
Gerald Morgan
Yeah, it's true.
Steven Crowder
It effectively ends up being a giant slush fund. The money doesn't necessarily go to teachers. If you believe that teachers should be paid better. First off, you may not know what the salary and the benefits are for a lot of public school teachers. We'll get to that in a second. But if you want them paid better, then you would want the reduction of administrative staff. Let me give you some more numbers. Here's another truth for you. You, the administrators are the ones who are. So from 2000 to 2019, the administrators have been the winners. Right? The administrative hiring has far outpaced the growth in student and teacher populations. So student and Teacher growth is less than 10%. The administrative growth is 87%. Wow.
YouTube
Outrageous.
Steven Crowder
87%. So what they do is they tell you class size, class size, class size. Well, first off, that's not even true because you have private Catholic schools in New York that have much larger class size here, and they still perform better.
YouTube
Well, they beat the kids.
Gerald Morgan
So that's helpful.
Steven Crowder
You throw a few angry, sexually frustrated nuns with rulers at the problem. It's amazing what you can accomplish.
Gerald Morgan
I can read.
Steven Crowder
Yeah.
YouTube
Read or you're getting hit.
Steven Crowder
Yes. So 87%. By the way, you would see this mirrored in health insurance as well. You would see this mirrored in the health sector. Another place where we've been woefully inefficient. It's not that there are more doctors. It's not that there are more health care professionals. It's the red tape. And it's people who work at the insurance agencies and the administrative offices. Right. That's a big problem that we see. And it's a big problem that is always exacerbated by big government. Here's another number for the administration's salaries, meaning administrators versus teachers. So the average teacher salary in this country is about $69,000.
YouTube
That's pretty good for having the summer off.
Steven Crowder
Yeah, I don't know if that's prorated, but that doesn't include benefits. The average, average salary for an educational administrator, over $100,000, $103,000. And by the way, a lot of these jobs, I know you're thinking, well, you need principals. Sure, kind of. But a lot of these jobs have nothing to do with education or teaching your kids. So, for example, 79% of school districts with more than 100,000 kids, they have a chief diversity officer. Seriously. And they're making on average over $100,000 to say, hey, hey, put some more black kids in there.
YouTube
But they don't live here. Just get it done.
Steven Crowder
Let's get it done.
YouTube
School choice.
Steven Crowder
Yeah, I want a wise, cracking, young black kid in here before you can say, teachers union.
YouTube
Start a basketball program.
Steven Crowder
Yes, exactly.
YouTube
Sorry, was that too?
Steven Crowder
We're kidding our asses. No, no, no, not at all. 94%. This is all a racket. 94% of teacher union donations go to Democrats. And by the way, this money comes back. Same thing. You can include administrators, people in this unit. It's a public sector union is what you're talking about. Effectively, you're talking about public sector education workers. We have spent $2 trillion, not adjusted for inflation, at least, on public education since the 1970s, and we have worse test scores. What point do we do something differently? And you know what? We're not even just completely. We're starting by eliminating bureaucrats.
Gerald Morgan
Yeah.
Steven Crowder
If you don't think we can start firing bureaucrats before we even touch teachers, then you don't believe that there's any solution to this problem other than more money. By the way, that also brings us to Randy Weingarten, a woman. That's the AFT. Right. They gave exclusively pretty much 100% to Democrats 99.99.
Gerald Morgan
What, did somebody accidentally give 200 bucks to Republicans?
Steven Crowder
By the way, Noodles is sick. In case you were wondering what that was. Noodles is normal. Yeah. People were going, why do they have a Ethel Merman hologram?
YouTube
Yeah, who is that?
Steven Crowder
Ethel Merman? It's an old like Showtime. She's the one who talk like they have a Klein, Klein, Klein, like the trolley old Jewish lady. Okay, okay, here's another truth. They always try and point to you and say you don't care. Wait, let's change it. What if we do care? What if you could almost by every metric available to you, say that conservatives value family and children more than liberals? We have more of them and we spend more time with them.
Gerald Morgan
Yeah.
Steven Crowder
And we believe in protecting them more. And we actually, when we can spend more of our resources sending them to private schools or homeschooling. So what if we do care? What if we just see a different solution to the problem? What if we just see that it's a broken system? They say you don't care. Oh, wait a second. Maybe we do care. Maybe you care about optics. Maybe we care about the fact that 70% of young black boys in this country have no father. And that's a more important indicator of education. Literacy, criminality, graduating college, having successful relationships, mental health. What if we do care? We're just being honest about the problem. Because here's the truth is that Weingarten and people like, they actually hurt kids far more than people saying, we need to change the Department of Education. This is the same person, by the way, Weingarten, who insisted on keeping schools closed after Covid. Yeah, right. Threatened to strike if schools reopened, wanted to continue remote learning. I remember at that point in time during COVID they said, you don't care about the safety of our children. And we said, well, it's second. What if we care about them Novel idea. More. What if we think that children not going to school? What if we think about giving these teachers unions a free pass? What if we think that that'll lead to greater substance abuse, greater social dysfunction, and it's not worth what we're doing here because young children are not particularly at risk of COVID The flu has greater lethality. So what if. Hold on a second. You say you don't care, so let's shut down the schools for years, and we say, hold on, we care more, so let's not shut down the school for years. By the way, even the left knew that the teachers union was overly powerful. Jay Varma, remember sex Party Guy during COVID We did the undercover report. He confirmed that to our undercover reporters.
Jeremy
I wanted kids to school. The mayor wanted kids in school, but the teachers union didn't.
Steven Crowder
So was that actually harmful for children?
Jeremy
It was, but we didn't have a choice because the mayor really wanted the mayor school, but the unions didn't, the labor unions. And so you had to, like, find this weird. This is where I get upset at him. Like, he didn't tell you to off. So the left wing people are all total, like, union people, right?
Steven Crowder
They're like, yay.
Jeremy
Pro union, pro workers. But he had to fight with them, which just doesn't work because he needs them for, like, those.
Steven Crowder
Actually, I do disagree with one thing. It does work. It's pretty easy to fight teachers unions.
Gerald Morgan
Yes.
Steven Crowder
You just. You just throw left and rights until.
Gerald Morgan
They go down and you just say no. Which nobody says to the teachers union. By the way, Randy Weingarten was out, I think, yesterday, guys, if you can look and see out there saying that the fact that she wanted to keep the schools closed was a Republican talking point, that it wasn't actually anything that was in reality true about wanting to keep the schools closed. Even though we know for sure because they said it in public and protested against the schools opening, especially in Chicago. Just go and look at it. But really quickly, some breaking news. So I talked about some of the departments that would take some of the load off of the Department of Education. They actually have kind of switched some of that up really quickly. So Hegseth and Trump just stated that Trump announced the SBA will handle the student loans and the HHS will handle federal school nutrition programs. Oh, there you go.
Steven Crowder
There you go.
YouTube
Oh, that makes sense.
Steven Crowder
Does that mean that means it'll go under services?
Gerald Morgan
Huh?
Steven Crowder
Would that be under the perfume of RFK Jr. Help?
Gerald Morgan
Yeah.
Steven Crowder
No, I just want to make sure he's directly king. That's gonna be a lot of fun.
YouTube
We're gonna take chips out of our schools, give kids actual food look, look, look.
Steven Crowder
All right, I'm gonna get rid of your panini press and replace it with an open range where you could chase chickens yourself.
YouTube
It's physical health and lunch.
Steven Crowder
We couldn't afford grass fed beef, so you can feel free to grace on actual grass.
Gerald Morgan
There's plenty of it around the schools. I can't do that voice. It'll just hurt me.
Steven Crowder
It is a parody after I don't know.
Gerald Morgan
And guys, again, fact check me on this, but we're looking at something around a third of the students being proficient in reading and proficient in math. I think it's like 31 as far as I'm. Give it up a little bit of a notch. A third. I'll give it to a third. Right. I know we're not good at math, but a third is if it's half, 30%.
YouTube
So you know what I'd love to see? I would love to see terrible.
Steven Crowder
Yeah.
YouTube
I love to see these administrators lose some money.
Steven Crowder
Yeah.
YouTube
Or I mean, lose the administrator. I guess that's what you do is you. You lose a bunch of administrators that aren't doing anything and let the teachers have that money.
Gerald Morgan
Yeah, I don't even want the teachers to have the money if they know that teacher. If they earn it. Yes. There's great teachers out there that track.
Steven Crowder
Good teachers should get more money. Bad teachers should be fired.
YouTube
I think a lot of people don't want to be people that could be very capable of a job don't do it because there's not a big enough incentive for them to do it.
Gerald Morgan
70 grand is a pretty good.
YouTube
Well, you said it wasn't. I said that. Hey, that's pretty good for networking.
Steven Crowder
It's pretty good. And then. But they write all these jobs and by the way, people don't realize that I have to work a second job in the summer. You mean like all of us? Do you mean like all we don't get three months off? Okay, like, that's the thing. Most people work the whole year.
Gerald Morgan
It's just a continuation of your first job. Yeah, I get it. And look, there's a lot of people that say, spend money on their own classrooms. I get that. Here's what I want to have happen. I want the free market to help make education better. Because guess what? If I'm a parent and my son or daughter, if you have a daughter, if you have money tied to that student, you can spend it wherever you want to go. People will start competing. They'll start making sure that the teachers do a good job or they are fired. They'll make sure that you're focusing on the right things or they're fired. They'll make sure the classroom sizes are optimal or they're fired. Yeah, that's the best way to do it. Not just to go, well, more money. Because I just. There's only so much that I can do.
Steven Crowder
Yeah. No, but I agree with Josh that obviously, if the pay is better than. It'll incentivize incentive.
YouTube
Yeah.
Steven Crowder
Because if I pay the good teachers.
YouTube
I would love to, you know, finish my degree and teach history and coach baseball, but I'm like, I don't. I don't want to make that money.
Gerald Morgan
No, but if you had a system allowed you to make more money because you were good.
Steven Crowder
Yeah, I get it.
Gerald Morgan
Yeah. I want the system to be. I want the system to reward that. So, yeah, I agree with you as well. But I just want the system to say, yes, this person's work.
Steven Crowder
Well, it's a racket. At least in Canada. I think it was the same in the States. You didn't have to have a degree specifically in education. You needed a degree, and you were. You had to prove that you were proficient as a teacher.
YouTube
I think you do now. Do you?
Steven Crowder
I think that you do, because I had a teacher, one of my best teachers, who just had a degree. And I don't remember what it was. It might have been, like, political science or English or something like that.
Gerald Morgan
And it was.
Steven Crowder
Teaching me in grade school was fantastic. Some of my greatest teachers are people who probably wouldn't be qualified to be teachers, but we had better results. It should be results based. And it's not.
Gerald Morgan
It's not, obviously. So here I was actually being a little bit too generous. 32% proficient in math, 27% percent proficient in reading.
YouTube
That's unacceptable, man. The math thing, you can get over, I guess, because that's.
Gerald Morgan
We have calculators. Asians, we're fine.
YouTube
Yeah, exactly. But you need to know how to read. That's embarrassing, dude.
Steven Crowder
Yeah.
YouTube
These people get driver's licenses and then they're on the roads. Like, what does that sign say?
Steven Crowder
Yeah, I know.
Gerald Morgan
Go. No, slow.
Steven Crowder
By the way. I know. Someone cheated on.
YouTube
And then they raise kids. Anybody can have a kid. You can just have one.
Steven Crowder
Did you know that you could just.
YouTube
You could just bang and then have a kid.
Steven Crowder
It's actually pretty fun.
Gerald Morgan
Josh is just learning this now.
YouTube
You can just have them.
Steven Crowder
Yeah, yeah. It's actually.
YouTube
And then teach them all your dumb ideas.
Steven Crowder
Yep, yep. And then you have a bunch of. Yous running around.
YouTube
I don't know how to read. Eat your Cap'n Crunch.
Gerald Morgan
I assume that's what it says. Cause my kid told me I can't read.
Steven Crowder
By the way, I know a guy who cheated on his driver's test. He had a glass eye.
Gerald Morgan
Huh?
Steven Crowder
He memorized the letters.
Gerald Morgan
No way.
Steven Crowder
Yep. And then went in. I'm like, really? I can't believe. Well, I guess there another one for the dmv.
Gerald Morgan
Hey, the street takeover.
YouTube
After I steal my sight. Tested the DMV that gave me a license anyways.
Steven Crowder
Really?
YouTube
Thanks, Texas. I swear to God.
Steven Crowder
I swear. I got my first license in the States. I had never taken a driver's test. You know why? Because in Canada, I had a learner's permit and they didn't know how to make sense of it because it was in Quebec. It was French. And they were like, here you go. Go drive. Two tons of steel, glass and gasoline. We don't care.
Gerald Morgan
Make sure you're texting at the same time.
YouTube
Be careful of the ice.
Steven Crowder
Yeah. Never, never had a fender bender. Knock on.
Gerald Morgan
That's good.
Steven Crowder
Are you superstitious? Knock on the wood. Throw salt over your shoulder. Don't look at cats.

Steven Crowder
Oh, $99 a year. I'm sorry, A year.
Gerald Morgan
I mean, that's.
YouTube
I don't think it's Admonish worthy.
Steven Crowder
No, no, it is.
YouTube
I think Gerald's reaching because he's been admonished a bunch recently.
Steven Crowder
Hold on, hold on. Where is. Wait, no, wait.
Gerald Morgan
Admonish.
Steven Crowder
Hold on.
Gerald Morgan
Get ready for it.
Steven Crowder
I wasn't ready. I wasn't ready.
Gerald Morgan
Let's get him in the right.
Steven Crowder
Hold on.
YouTube
It's Tim's button.
Steven Crowder
All right. Good morning. Not even fair.
Gerald Morgan
Yeah, it was a little loud. Sorry. All right, so we do have a quick update. So stuff that we missed is not necessarily what this particular item is. It's brand new information that Trump just announced. Hexathan Trump announced. Announced that the. What is it? Where is this thing? Boeing. 20 billion dollar contract for the next generation air dominance program. So they just awarded them $20 billion to Boeing. To Boeing to go and build, you know, better fighters, better fighter.
Steven Crowder
That's good fighter planes. Yeah. What was a. What was a fight? What was a fighter. What was the plane that we had that was a real disappointment. And was.
Gerald Morgan
Was it the always 35?
Steven Crowder
I think was always just a lot.
Gerald Morgan
Of difficulty with it. I think it's still.
YouTube
I think it was a disappointment. It's a great plane. I think it's just. It costed a lot of money. Yeah. We don't have. Have a lot of uses for it or. I don't know. It was. It wasn't a full success, but.
Steven Crowder
Well, the good news is it flies like Pete Hegseth has been quite. Has been quite performance based. So I'm hoping that's the case here where they have some, some metrics.
Gerald Morgan
This is great. Yeah, so get.
Steven Crowder
I see he's talking right now from the overall.
Gerald Morgan
Yeah, so what? Yeah, we can go to that. What. So the F35, what do you think this one's called? The F. What 36. No.
Steven Crowder
You.
Gerald Morgan
No. Oh, 47.
Steven Crowder
F 47. Oh, what happened to 46?
Gerald Morgan
47Th president.
Steven Crowder
Oh, that makes sense. I just thought they like, they had like one per head, like 40 and it's a. All right, let's go 47.
Gerald Morgan
Let's just get.
Steven Crowder
Let's just not. Let's just not even talk about 46 guys. It never happened. All right, well I, I hope, I hope that goes well. Do we want to see what he's saying right now? And I do want to get into Ukraine a little bit. I have to cough. So Toolman, take. Take me. Take me off of the screen just a little bit.
Gerald Morgan
Bring it up. Yeah.
Tim Pool
We'll also be continuing in El Salvador and if there's anything like that, we would certainly want to Find out. But these were. These were a bad group. This was a bad group. Bad people, bad areas. And they were with a lot of.
Steven Crowder
Other people from bad areas.
Tim Pool
Absolutely. Killers, murderers and people that were really bad with the worst records you've ever seen and.
Gerald Morgan
But he oversells everything.
Tim Pool
Process. Absolutely. We don't want to make that kind of a mistake.
Steven Crowder
Is the US Planning to give up the position of NATO Supreme Allied Commander, and if so, why?
Tim Pool
NATO is something that I saved. NATO is gone until I came home. In fact, the previous secretary general, very good man. Both of them are good. The current man is fantastic. But both of them have said, if it wasn't for Trump, you wouldn't even have a NATO because we were paying the cost of almost all of the country.
Steven Crowder
Yeah, that's true. It was the first president to get people to start paying their fair share.
Tim Pool
You heard us on trust, trade. You do bad things on trade and then on top of it, we're supposed to pay for your military. And because of what I did, hundreds of billions of dollars flowed into NATO by countries that just weren't paying. They were delinquent, they weren't paying their bills. So NATO is solid, they're strong, but they have to treat us fairly.
Steven Crowder
Are you going to give up the.
Tim Pool
Because, look, without us, NATO is not the same. And I can tell you, I've been having very.
YouTube
You know, we'll let her finish.
Steven Crowder
He just doesn't care.
Tim Pool
President Zelensky and with President Putin. And President Putin will tell you that without the United States, he wouldn't be worried, but he is worried when the United States worried. And I have to tell you, word. She can't get a question out, gentlemen.
Gerald Morgan
And we have, like I pause this just enough.
Tim Pool
I think we have confines of the deal. I hope we have the confines of the deal. I'm doing it it for two reasons. Number one, and by far, most importantly, thousands of young people. And they're not American people, they're Russian and they're Ukraine.
Steven Crowder
And by the way, that brings me to something that I think we had through chat, but I wanted to talk about this, to talk about Russia and Ukraine. This trended last night. And I think it's pretty important because a lot of people for some reason glossed over it. So National Security Adviser Mike Waltz said that it would be helpful if America was in charge of Ukrainian nuclear power plants. So he said, this is from Newsweek. American ownership of those plants would be the best protection for that infrastructure and support for Ukrainian energy infrastructure. And then Zelensky said, and of course, we talked about this plant that was on the. The. The control lines. Zelensky said all nuclear power plants belong to Ukrainian state. Okay. Okay, here's what I'm talking about, like with Canada and the grandstanding. So you have someone from the state saying, you know what? This might actually be a good sort of. A sort of collateral for security if we were able to control nuclear infrastructures. Linsk goes, that will never happen. It will always be for Ukrainian people. Okay, here's a map. Right now, Russia has it. Russia has it. You don't. We're talking about the important one. And it looks like they went far.
Gerald Morgan
Enough just to get it and stopped, in fact. Right.
Steven Crowder
And so this is just interesting to me that it will be okay. You don't have. You don't have your most important nuclear plant right now.
Gerald Morgan
Right.
Steven Crowder
Russia does. So seems to me that the choices are leave it in Russia's hands, maybe the United States controls it, or there is no option C, if that's where we are. And I would be willing to bet that if Putin maybe floated this as part of the terms for negotiations, we don't know. A lot of this is kept behind closed doors, as it should be, until it's all worked out. I actually think this is an important litmus test for both. And go with me here, I thought about this quite a bit. As far as Russia goes, if they give the United States control over any of these nuclear plants, let's assume, of course, it involves the one on their side of the control lines. Right now, I think it accounts for like, 20%. It's very important to the region. That specific plant that Russia has, if Putin gives that over to the United States to control, that's actually a better sign that he's going to stop in his tracks and he's not looking to roll on because he doesn't want to have to deal with the United States and go to war with the United States. As a matter of fact, if he said, all right, we'll give it back to Ukraine, that would mean that he's more confident. He could just roll on through them. He beat them once and just do it again, just take it back. He's less likely to increase his territory if it's under American control. I actually think that's a good sign. On the flip side, side, it's a good litmus test for Ukraine, because if this is, let's say, a sticking point, we don't know that it is. And Zelensky says it will only ever be for Ukraine people. We will not give to you. That means they want a never ending war with a never ending supply of funds. If your choice is all right to end this, a third party, the United States will have a vested interest in the security of these nuclear plants. That or keep fighting and never get it back because you're getting your ass kicked. It's one of those things that's the great you have no Russia has it. Ukraine. This is our problem with Zelensky. It will always be for Ukrainian people. Can they have it back? No, no taxi back seats. Oh shit. It's just rhetoric.
Gerald Morgan
I know.
Steven Crowder
And that's a modern problem in 2025. Do you know what? Without the United States, if this was just basically a local right fight, meaning just there between Ukraine and Russia, as it would be once upon a time, before smartphones, before modern communications, the conversation would be uncle, that's it. There's no one else to come in and get it back for you, let alone someone else to come in and say, okay, you two on these sides of the fence and we'll kind of create, we'll control some of the nuclear because neither one of you can be trusted with it. That didn't exist. Russia wins Ukraine now Russia.
YouTube
Damn. Can I have job at power plant?
Steven Crowder
That's right. I used to work at plant but I developed fourth nipple.
YouTube
Now I used to be president of country doesn't exist anymore.
Steven Crowder
Exactly. And they decided to put me in stocks. Tomato will hurt at velocity.
YouTube
You may not know bring back stocks, by the way.
Gerald Morgan
Velocity.
Steven Crowder
So anyway, that's comment below what you think. Is it the ideal? No. But they want to accuse Donald Trump of being a tyrant. And I don't know that this has come directly from Donald Trump at this point. I think it's actually a smart move and a good litmus test. If Putin gives any nuclear plants over to the United States, that means he wants these lines that he's more likely to stick to it. If Ukraine refuses. That means they want to continue in a war go never ending funding from us because they can't do it themselves.
Gerald Morgan
And they lost an entire generation of men doing this. Yes. Like you're basically kind of killing your country without killing your country. It's dead. You just don't know it yet if you're not careful with this kind of stuff. But also it's the mineral rights deal that we were trying to sign as well. We were trying to tie ourselves economically to him. Right. So I know that it's one of those things that would actually be better. But United States came in and basically said, hey, we're not gonna send troops into this deal. So what are we doing three years later? I'm not talking about one or two months later, where maybe the outcome was in question. And maybe with enough support. Support, you can stop Putin from taking any land that. That ship has sailed a long time ago. Yeah, we're just saying not do that. And then the Europeans come along and say, hey, we're going to support you. Are you going to send troops to fight and push Russians back into their territory? No. Then what are we doing?
Steven Crowder
Yeah, and by the way, hey, I will say this Zelensky, he's made good on his promise.
Gerald Morgan
Yeah.
Steven Crowder
He said, we will fight to every last man. He promised to kill every last man. Well, good. Now you're recruiting women and 70 year olds. So, hey, you have nothing left to prove. There are no men left left. You're conscripting old people and women. So, hey, good for you. You made good on your promise. Feel good about it. And I understand totalitarianism. Look, it's one corrupt nation versus another corrupt nation. And I'm not saying that what Russia did was right at all. And I'm not saying that it's in any way something to celebrate the loss of life on either side. I bet you a bunch of Russians don't want to be involved in this too. Yeah, but the promise of we will fight to. What that means is we are willing to sacrifice every able bodied male citizen so long as Europe and United States give us money. That's what they're saying. Let's be clear that loss of life is because of taking the United States funding for granted. It wouldn't happen otherwise. Yeah, doesn't mean we're Putin chills. To be clear, I certainly wouldn't. Russia wouldn't say that. Hey, items are cheaper in Russia and their subways are great. No, Russia's a hellhole. And I get it. Yes.
Gerald Morgan
