2. YouTube's Cancellation Policies and Offensive Language

Timestamp: [01:22] - [03:00]

Guest Dave Landau discusses the evolving nature of YouTube's censorship, identifying seven words that can lead to a channel's cancellation. He lists them as: "Retard, chink, tranny, faggot, fag, fig, and Mexican." Landau argues that the fluidity of language complicates moderation, stating, "Words change. Not retard, chink, tranny... they have different meanings now."

Crowder and Landau engage in a humorous back-and-forth, illustrating the absurdity of fluctuating censorship standards and the challenges creators face in navigating these rules.

3. Trump Administration's Strategic Wins

Timestamp: [16:08] - [26:20]

The hosts highlight several key actions taken by the Trump administration:

• Cutting Funding to Australian Universities: The U.S. has halted $600 million in funding to seven Australian universities over concerns of anti-American sentiment and potential communist ties. Jared McBride summarizes, "The White House has cut funding to seven Australian universities... Researchers are calling on the Albanese government to step in."

• UAE Investment in the U.S.: An announcement reveals that the United Arab Emirates plans to invest $1.4 trillion in the United States over the next decade, targeting sectors like AI, semiconductors, and energy.

• Involvement in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC): The U.S. is poised to take over mining rights for rare earth minerals in the DRC in exchange for security guarantees amid ongoing conflicts with the M23 armed group.

Crowder underscores these moves as strategic victories that bolster America’s economic and geopolitical standing.

4. Constitutional Crisis and Judicial Overreach

Timestamp: [28:44] - [41:54]

A significant portion of the episode addresses what Crowder and his guests describe as a brewing constitutional crisis. They argue that unelected judges are overstepping their bounds by blocking executive actions, effectively acting as "de facto presidents."

Key Points:

• Judge James Boasberg: Accused of bias and overreach, Boasberg has blocked deportation flights initiated by the Trump administration, leading to significant policy delays.

  • Crowder's Analogy: Compares the judge's interference to a passenger redirecting a commercial flight, causing chaos and uncertainty.

• Statistics on Judicial Interventions: Under President Trump’s administration, district court judges have issued 15 blocks in the first nine weeks, surpassing the 14 blocks under President Biden and 12 under President Obama.

• Political Bias: 90% of these judicial blocks are attributed to Democrat-appointed judges, suggesting a partisan agenda against Trump’s policies.

Quotes:

• Steven Crowder: "A judge who hasn't been elected can impose a nationwide injunction to stop the President of the United States."

• Josh Firestein: "We are really in a constitutional crisis... Judges say no, no, no."

Crowder calls for reforms, urging the Supreme Court to rein in lower courts and restore executive authority.

5. SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) and Junk Food Controversy

Timestamp: [48:54] - [57:40]

The discussion shifts to the SNAP program and recent efforts to ban soda and junk food purchases using SNAP benefits. Crowder critiques both left and right influencers involved in this debate:

• Government Overreach: Crowder argues that restricting SNAP benefits to healthy foods is an unnecessary intrusion into individual choice, stating, "I do not believe it's the government's role to decide what people should or shouldn't eat."

• Influencer Manipulation: He highlights that some right-leaning influencers were reportedly paid up to $1,000 to advocate against banning junk food in SNAP, questioning their authenticity and motives.

• Economic Burden on Taxpayers: Emphasizes that taxpayers are indirectly subsidizing unhealthy food choices, leading to increased healthcare costs and societal burdens.

Quotes:

• Steven Crowder: "You pay for it, you choose. I pay for it, you don't."

• Josh Firestein: "If you don't finish your Cheetos, you don't get your Takis. Dad, can I have an avocado? No, you fig."

Crowder advocates for individual responsibility and against punitive measures targeting SNAP recipients.

6. Remarks on China and Geopolitical Tensions

Timestamp: [59:00] - [60:39]

In a lighter, more humorous segment, the hosts discuss China's preparations for potential conflict. While maintaining a serious undertone about geopolitical tensions, they interject with comedic remarks about Chinese military capabilities and stereotypes.

Crowder mentions that China is "preparing for war" and speculates on their military advancements, blending genuine concern with satire. The segment underscores the show's stance on strong national defense and skepticism towards Chinese intentions.

---

7. Conclusion and Final Thoughts

Timestamp: [60:39] - End

Crowder wraps up the episode by reiterating the move to Rumble, encouraging listeners to follow on the new platform for uninterrupted content. He reinforces the themes discussed, emphasizing the need to support American workers and resist governmental overreach.

Notable Quotes:

• Steven Crowder [00:12]: "YouTube is dead. Rumble did it."

• Dave Landau [01:22]: "Retard, chink, tranny, faggot, fag, fig and Mexican... Now, Mexican doesn't even belong on that list."

• Steven Crowder [35:17]: "A single district court judge out of 700 cannot set policy for the entire nation."

• Josh Firestein [39:12]: "So if I'm somebody who's on the other side, I'm like, he went to this conference funded by these people that don't like immigration policies. I have an immigration issue with President Trump. He's my guy."

• Steven Crowder [48:44]: "It's the difference between you going to the store and purchasing something for yourself versus me getting you a gift."

• Steven Crowder [55:31]: "We're incentivizing people to not be contributing members of society. So a normal shopping cart for the average American people, not on snap... number one, meat. Number two, sweetened beverages."

Transcript

[Steven Crowder]

Cutting it close. I don't mean of course. Welcome all of you. Bonginoarmy Vince viewers. Evita before us. We were cutting it close because I was just. I was using the boys room and I had to run into the chair. But we're glad to have you. Today is the last. Well, it's actually the first day last week. Last Friday was the last day. This is the first day in the next chapter for the rest of our lives. No more live streaming on YouTube. And it's not just me, everyone else in the lineup who you can tune into from 9am to 4pm you got Tim Pool after me. You got Jeremy from the quartering. You got Viva Fry and sorry, Russell Brand, of course. We are all done streaming to YouTube. No more live streaming to YouTube. Exclusively on Rumble. YouTube is dead. Rumble did it. We're going to get into some wins from Donald Trump today. The constitutional crisis that is brewing. Hint it's not SNAP influencers buying soda. Telling you that it should be okay to buy soda. Here's a simple concept. If it's your money, you choose. If it's my money, you don't. Also, the Chinese are preparing for war. We'll get into that and more. Welcome to the lineup, exclusive on Rumble. Let's go.

[Dave Landau]

Now, throughout my years, I've come to realize there are seven words you cannot ever, ever say on YouTube. Now, no one ever tells you what these words are. You have to say them out loud for YouTube to cancel you. Because it's YouTube's ever changing list. Same words, two years later, a different list. And these words. Retard, chink, tranny, faggot, fag, fig and Mexicans. Yes, today, those are the words. Retard, chink, tranny, faggot, fag, fig and Mexican. And Mexican doesn't even belong on that list. It's a benign word, a descriptor. Really. How else do we refer to them?

[Steven Crowder]

Sir?

[Dave Landau]

He's one of those members from down south. Honduran?

[Steven Crowder]

No.

[Dave Landau]

Salvadorian.

[Steven Crowder]

No.

[Dave Landau]

Colombian?

[Steven Crowder]

Argentinian? Peruvian. Chilean. Brazilian.

[Dave Landau]

He's Mexican. Canceled. Just like that. These words. Retard, chink, tranny, faggot, fag, fig and Mexican. Now, the problem with these words is that words change. Notice I didn't say the N word. Why? Because everyone here knows which word that is. Not one member in the audience right now is thinking nubile. No, because the N word has only ever been one word with one meaning. But not retard, chink, tranny, faggot, fag, fig and Mexican. Every one of those cancel worthy Words in today's culture, which we can't say now at some point meant something else.

[Steven Crowder]

Tranny.

[Dave Landau]

Well, that's a scary cancel worthy word for today's backyard mechanic. Well, your starter's fine, your alternator works, but there seems to be a leak in your T word. Mainly the T word, gasket, where its dick used to be.

[Steven Crowder]

Chink.

[Dave Landau]

Now granted, that would seem self explanatory until you realize again that it's a word with multiple meanings. Captain, I found the C word in their armor. No, not cunt. I wouldn't find that in armor. Unless I suppose she's a female knight. But then we'd have to add another word to the list. See, because these words, they also change depending who's using them or who is hearing them. They can't just hurt on their own, they're just words. But you can use that c word. On YouTube. You can use that C word provided that it's not the previously aforementioned C word and that said person using this given C word is a woman and that they're referring to the current president's wife. Words change. Chink was a common word, a benign word. It was used in cultural idioms to make it a hate word because a jackass said something racist is to give that racist power and it convolutes the meaning of the word. Now you have people who mistakenly believe it to be the original meaning of that word. Captain, we found a Chinese American in their armor. Do you hear that? That's the sound of a protest starting now. Please note that the Asian Americans themselves are always notably absent from these protests. They'll let the other social justice warriors distract you while they simply take over your economy and skilled labor employment opportunities. No, they don't make protest signs. They're too busy making money. Seems they found your them in your armor. Retard, Chink, tranny, Faggot, Fag, Fig, and Mexican. Now, faggot or fag. These are the new F words. If you see those, you're immediately cancelled on YouTube. Primarily because it's moderated entirely by F words. No, no, not fuck. That's the old F word. You can say fuck all you want on YouTube provided that it is not referring to in a derogatory manner, the performative actions of an aforementioned F word. And here we run into another problem. Because these words, they were co opted. These F words too, they too, throughout history have had different meanings to different peoples. A fag, a faggot. Well, are we talking about a bundle of sticks, a lazy old lady, or George Michael in a California rest stop. I was performing in London. A man outside the venue asked for a cigarette. He was put before a human rights tribunal.

[Steven Crowder]

Your honor, my client merely asked the.

[Dave Landau]

Man in question for an F word. Do you mean to say that your client was soliciting prostitution?

[Steven Crowder]

No, your honor, he just wanted a cigarette. He's not an F word. It is D day. You are now watching the lineup on Rumble live exclusively, the official home of Louder with Crowder. And you can stream the entire lineup from 9am to 4pm Monday through Friday. YouTube is officially dead. Rumble did it. Ah, that's the sound of a little bit. It's a lighter sip. Today I feel a little lighter. I feel like I've been. I feel like I've been training with a weighted vest. Because today is the day we are no longer on the YouTubes. Yes, first day, the rest of our lives. And please, I know right now the mug club Army Rumble Premium. Army. Go out there on social and include the words cancel YouTube. Let's do it all day. Let people know. Let's see what happens with that Alphabet stock price like we saw after the Vox adpocalypse. You have that kind of power. We're now exclusive on Rumble. Well, not Rumble. Well, we are on Rumble premium, but the lineup on Rumble, it is live. It is exclusive. 9am to 4pm It's a great lineup and last week number one in every time slot in this country. Yeah, not a show on YouTube to be found. So let's keep that going. Today there are some wins from the Trump administration gonna get into that. There's allegedly a constitutional crisis brewing. By that I mean the left saying that Donald Trump should basically be subject to the authority of 1 out of 900 something district judges who weren't elected. Snap people are using it to buy soda. I've said this. If you can't cancel Coca Cola from SNAP benefits, you cannot trim anything from the government. But more importantly, you saw some right leaning influencers out there being paid by soda corporations to tell you that the libertarian thing to do is pay for junk food and China is prepar all out war. I know what you're thinking. Why should we be afraid? Well, that's because there's like 19 billion of them.

[Jared McBride]

That's true.

[Josh Firestein]

I saw their training video, Mulan.

[Steven Crowder]

Yes, that's true.

[Josh Firestein]

I'm not too worried.

[Steven Crowder]

Well, they did. They made a man out of her. They thought. And the truth is they couldn't tell her apart from the other men. That only works in the Chinese military way they're hard to tell apart. So this is a. I keep thinking to go. There is no YouTube live dump button. It's a live show. Weekdays, 11am is when you watch this show. Let me ask you this. What part of the Chinese do you fear most? What's the scariest thing I say? The foot binding. Their height. Yeah.

[Jared McBride]

Small people.

[Steven Crowder]

They all cut their fingernails. And we were supposed to. By the way, before we move on, we are retiring the YouTube dump button.

[Jared McBride]

Yeah, yeah.

[Steven Crowder]

Is that. You were gonna do that today? Because we don't use it. Is that all taken care of?

[Jared McBride]

Actually, no, of course. I got. I actually did it on. On Friday. I got rid of the people.

[Steven Crowder]

You did?

[Jared McBride]

Yeah.

[Steven Crowder]

Okay. Yeah. You fired the fire the folks?

[Jared McBride]

I fired them, yeah.

[Steven Crowder]

Okay.

[Jared McBride]

Yeah. So we're no longer streaming to YouTube and we really don't think your services are necessary anymore. But we really want to thank you for all the hard work and effort that you've put into your job. Well, I just want to.

[Steven Crowder]

All right.

[Jared McBride]

That is lunch. I know.

[Steven Crowder]

That is. It's time for things to close.

[Jared McBride]

Problem solved.

[Steven Crowder]

Right? Yeah. You fired at them. Yeah.

[Jared McBride]

That's what you said.

[Steven Crowder]

It's okay. I feel free. No, no, no.

[Jared McBride]

You said fired at them.

[Steven Crowder]

Captain Morgan, CEO, and Josh Firestein is here. Not Firestein on X. Thank you for being here, sir.

[Josh Firestein]

Yeah, thank you. I actually had a meeting with Gerald on Friday and thank God I canceled it.

[Jared McBride]

Yes, Josh, I put that back on the books for right after the show.

[Steven Crowder]

It's also very telling that he uses a single action revolver, which means he plans on taking his time. Like, he's not worried about a skirmish. It's an assassination.

[Josh Firestein]

He knew what he was doing. He brought an unarmed man into his office for an execution. And I am here for it.

[Steven Crowder]

He also has a button that locks the door once you're in. For the ladies now.

[Jared McBride]

Oh, geez. What about an executive at NBC?

[Josh Firestein]

Good thing it's an all glass office.

[Steven Crowder]

We have a few things. He doesn't care. He likes it when people watch. So we have a few things to get to. And let me just. We're going to talk about Snap. We're going to talk about what's going. You see, people now with social media, this era, they take something good and then pervert it into something that is no longer good. Now, for example, a morning routine is very important. Right. We even know about this as Christians. Then, of course, you go to Marcus Aurelius, who wrote about it in Meditations. A morning routine is very important. Do your most intense Activities in the morning. Be productive. But then that gets warped in the era of social media self affirmation, which is really glorification where this man, and it's going viral, posted his morning routine and it may become one of the most viral videos in X history. I would wager it's because he gets nothing done for like five hours. But watch it. 353. Tape on the mouth gimmick.

[Jared McBride]

Should have just left it.

[Steven Crowder]

Steroids. Don't talk about that. Bottled glass water. Okay. Goes out 17 minutes. Sit on chair.

[Dave Landau]

So we're gonna be serious about the Lord's business.

[Steven Crowder]

So that's 45 minutes of listening to after. Well you gotta do. And by the way, you need the glass bottled water for your ice face bath.

[Josh Firestein]

Yeah. Affirmation shirt.

[Steven Crowder]

Affirmation shirt.

[Josh Firestein]

Good.

[Steven Crowder]

Compression socks that do nothing. Man bag.

[Josh Firestein]

Gay condoms. Put them in.

[Steven Crowder]

Hey, by the way, take us now do kids 7:30. All right. Goes to the nice rooftop pool.

[Josh Firestein]

Bad dive.

[Steven Crowder]

He's now been up for four hours and accomplished nothing. Banana on the face. Well, we won't touch that.

[Jared McBride]

No, no, we're going to stay there.

[Steven Crowder]

Okay. Looking at it, bro, we got to go ahead and get in at least 10,000.

[Jared McBride]

Thank you.

[Steven Crowder]

Of course. More glass bottled water. Now notice that his work consisted of telling someone else that he should put in more money. It was six minutes.

[Jared McBride]

Yes.

[Steven Crowder]

Of work from 3:53 until 9:30. Six minutes of it was productive. This is the problem with social. If you follow every gimmick on social media. Go. I gotta go do tapes that I breathe the right way. Oh, I have to use this water because otherwise I'm gonna have small balls or I'm gonna have xenoestrins. Oh, okay. I now gotta do the cold plunge and I got. You can't get anything. By the way. I'm someone who's been up at around 4 o'clock for like a decade. But you get up and you start working. So please don't just start a routine for the sake of a routine. Try and focus on what it is that matters. You know, like your family. Like work and not mouth tape. Bottled water. How many face ice baths does he need?

[Jared McBride]

A couple at least.

[Steven Crowder]

What was he stung by a bunch of bees? Wait, you don't set up a camera.

[Josh Firestein]

For every moment of your morning routine.

[Steven Crowder]

And if I did, I'd probably put on a better show. I wouldn't be just like, yeah, yo, set up the camera of me listening to somebody telling me that I should be more me.

[Jared McBride]

And I put on a shirt that Says I'm worthy because I always forget.

[Steven Crowder]

How much you want to bet he's selling fitness advice. How much you want to bet he's selling influence advice? Hold on.

[Jared McBride]

Somebody pull this up. The post right below is where you can buy the merch.

[Steven Crowder]

Okay. You buy those glass water bottles.

[Jared McBride]

You think it's him?

[Josh Firestein]

I don't know if I think he's not American. I think he's somewhere abroad where I know a lot of people don't recommend doing anything with faucet water.

[Steven Crowder]

With faucet water. With tap water. Okay, well, I guess, yeah, thank you. Tap water is the word that makes sense. So he needs the most expensive bottled water money can buy. Please, guys, look, let me just give you some. Look, get up early, set a routine, stick to it. Great. Diet, exercise, sleep. And by that you can train a couple times a week, three times a week, eat sensibly healthy, right? That's all. Okay? Meat, fruit, veggies, whatever. Try and keep sugar to a minimum. Try and get seven hours of sleep. Guess what? You'll be ahead of 90% of the game if you attempt to do that. It'll never get done. You'll be unproductive like that, man.

[Josh Firestein]

And rub banana peel on your face. You have 95% of the game.

[Steven Crowder]

Why? It was like EBT motivation. It's like, yo, if you don't actually have to produce anything, you could do this for like nine hours a day and tell somebody 10,000. How about 15? He said, no.

[Josh Firestein]

I say, okay, that was 10 minutes of work. What does he do for a living? Just that, I guess.

[Steven Crowder]

You got to put in at least 10,000, bro. Oh, I had a good day.

[Josh Firestein]

What time does this wake up time? Because it said three. The first thing was 3:52. Changing at 3:53.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah.

[Josh Firestein]

So he's waking up at 3:50 or 3:45.

[Steven Crowder]

He also doesn't include the injections of nandrolone that he does every day, so.

[Josh Firestein]

Well, there was 12 hours on account of.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, with some gynecomastia. Yes. All right, let's move on to someone who is quite productive. There have been so many wins this week. This is just sort of. We just had to. Had to rack them all up. It's hard. It's hard to keep them track. In track. It's hard to keep them what? Hard to keep track. You know what this is time for? Trump wins. All he do is win, win, win. Because he's Trump. Trump is in the dust dosing. Now that he is in, we getting back to building this amazing nation.

[Josh Firestein]

And we go.

[Steven Crowder]

All right, now, some of these are wins. You can check the references link in the description. We have them every day. You may not even realize needed to win. You go, wait, what? We were doing that first example, the United States government cut funding to Australian universities. And they're doing this to see if the funding that they're sending to Australian universities is actually helpful or if we're funding anti American, anti Western, pro communist sentiment. It's about like $600 million. I know what you're thinking, wait, we were spending money on Australian universities? Turn it back into a penal colony. I agree. But here's a news update.

[Jared McBride]

The White House has cut funding to seven Australian universities after they were sent surveys to see if joint research projects aligned with Donald Trump's. Good academics were asked whether they have ties to communist or socialist parties, receive funding from China, and it only recognises male and female sexes. US funding for $600 million worth of research efforts are now in jeopardy. Researchers are calling on the Albanese government to step in and prevent any further grant cuts. The Australian Education Department says the total amount of funding cut by the US is unclear.

[Steven Crowder]

Well, I'm pretty sure it'll be clear soon. All of it. How about that? I think let's just make it all of it. You know, we go back in time and you have sort of. Okay, if we thought communism might be rising up somewhere, we might help with a quiet coup. Yeah. You know, or we had the blacklist, right. Where people talked about. Yeah, the blacklist. Where it's like, hey, we think there might be some communist among us. Let's blacklist them. Let's purge them. Okay, that's pretty extreme. We're now at the point where we're going, wait a second. We sent you 600 million. You're not using that to fund communism, are you? Now get out of town. Are you sure? You sure you don't have Marxist professors who are teaching the destruction of Western civilization? I never heard of it before. So here, look. These are some other questions. In the survey, it says, can you confirm that your agency has not collaborated with terrorists, cartels or traffickers? Does the product encourage partners to adopt policies and take action to respect their national sovereignty and culture, strengthen patriotic values and reduce dependence on external institutions? Does your organization encourage free speech and encourage open debate and free sharing of information? Yes or no? This is a good point that actually, George the Greek made Donald Trump. This administration is making it clear, hey, are you taking part in Western civilization and preserving Western civilization and our values? Because if not you don't get to be a part of this gravy train that is the United States. You don't get to be a part of what it is that we're building here. You don't get $600 million to try and subvert the institutions. And not just the institutions. I don't mean, for example, judges or the education system. I mean values, the foundational principles and values. We're not giving you money if you are attacking them. That's a new. That's a new direction. That is a shift. And by the way, Aussie officials, they said that this survey amounts to, quote, foreign interference. The survey does. The survey, it's like. No, I would argue that sending you hundreds of millions of dollars is more foreign interference. We're just solving the problem and getting rid of the interference.

[Jared McBride]

Yes, sorry for the interference. We'll take it back.

[Steven Crowder]

Look, we're sorry for interfering. We will no longer interfere. No, no, no, no, no. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. Interference. We were talking about, you know, we got some good looking sheilas. I want to lose them, huh? Everything that bites, stings, or rattles, we got over here. You want some of those?

[Jared McBride]

We don't care.

[Steven Crowder]

No, we don't really want them. We don't really want to go there because I don't want to die by nature's cruelest trick, that is Australia. So this President Trump effect is actually. It's sweeping the globe at this point and it's literally causing PTSD in the outback, by the way. Look, don't believe everything you hear. Hey, you, Jackman. He's straight as an arrow. That's just the first win. Sorry. We have a lot more to get to, like Venezuelan crime gangs. And we'll get to what we're doing with China. But here's the thing. We need to actually support our own. The never ending supply of you, the American worker. I'm tired of saying taxpayers, you, the American worker, you. When people say taxpayers, they mean you. Do you work? Do you pay taxes? Are you productive? Do you take care of your family? Okay, you are the person who subsidizes the world. You are the person who is spending 600 something million dollars in Australia. It's Americans right now who are actually fighting ptsd, for example, from things like high interest rate on their mortgages. Good news is there's a fix for that. And the cat was happily reunited with its family. But the giraffe still remains at large. Now a word from our sponsors.

[Josh Firestein]

You know, I'm finally getting my life on Track.

[Steven Crowder]

Oh, that's nice. Hey, can I get some water in here, please?

[Josh Firestein]

Yeah. I called American Financing.

[Steven Crowder]

Oh, good for you. That's great.

[Josh Firestein]

It's true what they say, you know, they helped me close quickly on my junior suite, and they even helped me delay two of my mortgage payments.

[Steven Crowder]

And, you know. Great. Can you help me get some of those raisins from my desk in the second drawer? The one with the pretty lady in the basket on it? The colored one? Yeah. Please.

[Josh Firestein]

You should come over sometime. It's a nice place. I want you to check it out. It's got parquet.

[Steven Crowder]

You should get some nice Formica. No, no, no. Hold on. I said second drawer.

[Josh Firestein]

Maybe you spend the night, play games.

[Steven Crowder]

Hold on. Play. Yeah. No, that's right. You got it. Good. You know, on second thought, actually, go next door, get me one of those ciabatta sandwiches. That sounds delightful.

[Josh Firestein]

Boy, I sure could eat.

[Steven Crowder]

You could always eat.

[Josh Firestein]

Well, I'm saving $850 a month.

[Steven Crowder]

Well, then maybe you should perhaps consider purchasing your own ciabatta with your own money. Like the good little piggy you are. Call American financing today at 1-800-974-6500 or visit americanfinancing.net Crowder. No upfront fees. Closing as fast as 10 days. And you could even delay up to two mortgage payments. NMLS 182334. Gotta say that so I guess we don't get sued. Here's another win that we have. I'm just gonna. There's so many. I'll go through these pretty quickly. Pressure came from Donald Trump flights of migrants back to Venezuela. And by the way, we checked, none of the Miss Universe cont on them, so you don't need to be concerned. They're back. The Trump administration has resumed deportation flights to Venezuela. Nearly 200 migrant deportees arrived in Caracas from the United States last night, just one day after the Venezuelan government reached a new agreement with the White House. The Venezuelan government had been accepting deportation flights, but that came to a halt earlier this month when the White House revoked a Biden era policy that allowed Venezuela to produce and export more oil. So, anyways, they were like, ah, we're not gonna take anymore. And Donald Trump said, okay, well, we have a few things that we could use here to make it seem they're like, okay, okay, okay, we give. We'll take them back. I know sometimes you guys think it's not that simple. Sometimes it is.

[Jared McBride]

It's very simple.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah. I don't know if you know this, but we're the ones kind of holding the cards here, the United States. Here's another one. This is breaking this morning. The White House just announced that the UAE is going to invest $1.4 trillion in the United States over the next decade. So that includes AI infrastructure, semiconductors, energy, American manufacturing. That's a big one. Here's another win involving a nation that you never thought I would mention along with win in the same sentence. Democratic Republic of Congo. The United States now is actually going to be likely taking over the mineral rights or being involved with the mining rights for some rare earth minerals in Congo. No white gorillas with laser guns. But turns out that's not real. The Democratic Republic of Congo says it will not rule out giving the US access to its vast mineral wealth in return for security guarantees. The statement comes as the M23 armed group, backed by Rwanda, continues its advance in the eastern part of the drc. If among those partners we want to export our mineral resources, we have Americans. I think that was the main idea for the President. Yeah, yeah, it's the main idea. The Congo, they've been fighting with Rwandan rebels for a while, right? They've captured some of the mining areas. If the United States ends up with control over these mineral rights, guess what? We'll actually provide some security. They're better off. We're better off. Somewhere in there, some people are getting aids. That's never a good thing, but it happens.

[Jared McBride]

That is not our fault.

[Steven Crowder]

It happens. It's the land of aids. By the way, Congo is believed to have. Well, Congo and the cast of rent. $24 trillion in untapped mineral resources, including cobalt, gold, copper, lithium.

[Josh Firestein]

Let's tap that ass.

[Steven Crowder]

Yes.

[Jared McBride]

No, the lithium. Tap that mine.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, tap. Oh, sorry. Back that minecart up. Now, if we don't do this, here's a good example, too. Sometimes we'll go, oh, imperialism. Okay, look, the United States is the worst empire ever. Because, for example, empires don't typically send $600 million to a country that they haven't colonized, like Australia, for education, where they indoctrinate people to hate America. We are not a good empire. An empire, by the way, takes resources. Nation building, which we do, which I don't support, is costly. Please comment below. What do you think? Are we an empire or are we nation builders?

[Josh Firestein]

We're the friendly neighborhood empire.

[Steven Crowder]

Well, pretty much, because we actually give them stuff. For example, we go in and quote, unquote, liberate countries and ask for nothing more than the land in which to bury the dead who fought for it. Now, it doesn't mean that it works out, because the Middle east is a cesspool of filth and sadness.

[Jared McBride]

Right?

[Steven Crowder]

They don't have the same mindset. They don't share Western values. But this idea that the United States is an evil empire. No, but I think we should start acting more empire like, because we need to stop being exploited. And you have to ask yourself, okay, what's the flip side of that? If the United States, for example, doesn't step in in Congo, who will? China. Do you want China? Do you think China's going to, for example, acknowledge human rights more than the United States? Do you think they're going to engage in safer environmental practices? Oh, do you want them to get a leg up over us? Because someone is going to get the rights. And by the way, Congo's not going to become an empire anytime soon because they're the cradle of civilization and they still haven't figured it out. Yes, Josh.

[Josh Firestein]

I was gonna say, isn't China already in one of the Congos? It's like a different Congo.

[Jared McBride]

They're all over the place over there. And they're super racist. And they're still going over there doing deals.

[Steven Crowder]

Yes.

[Josh Firestein]

Using slave labor. Yeah.

[Steven Crowder]

The Chinese are incredibly racist.

[Jared McBride]

Incredibly so.

[Steven Crowder]

And so are the Japanese. But then their racism is mainly aimed at each other. Isn't that funny? They look largely the same to us. I can't tell them apart. They're racist against each other. To me, it's fun.

[Jared McBride]

No, you're not.

[Steven Crowder]

This is a long time coming, but Congo had a great negotiator. Final deal is not done. We actually do have audio from President Trump negotiating with the MC in chief. Look, we're very excited about this deal for Minnow. Excuse me. You're changing the terms last minute. That's not what we had agreed. Well, frankly, that's a good point.

[Dave Landau]

You. You drive a hard bargain. But they sent the right guy.

[Steven Crowder]

Me too. You know what? I'd like to have MC Baba across the table.

[Jared McBride]

That's true.

[Steven Crowder]

It's.

[Josh Firestein]

It's fun that he understands him. It's like when you see one of the Jedi.

[Steven Crowder]

I speak Baba. I speak so much. People always say, whoa, you speak such good baba.

[Jared McBride]

He gets deals done.

[Steven Crowder]

Or is it MC for short? I don't know. So you can comment, too. What win would you most like to see? And by the way, the win I'd most like to see is YouTube to die permanently. But get this out on social. We are no longer streaming to YouTube. There is no more live streaming. To YouTube. Best way to stay in touch. Download the app. Download the Rumble app and follow us. You get notifications when we go live, and you don't get notifications for other crap. You get notifications for the live shows. Rumble owns live. I think we have some more wins. But you know what? Let's get to. We're going over time. The constitutional crisis. You guys been paying attention to this?

[Josh Firestein]

Oh, I've heard a thing or two.

[Steven Crowder]

There's a constitutional crisis.

[Jared McBride]

I am scared brewing.

[Steven Crowder]

I don't know if you know this, but there's a constitutional crisis. If you say it three times and people understand, constitutional appears.

[Josh Firestein]

Constitutional crisis.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah.

[Jared McBride]

Constitutional crisis. Yeah.

[Josh Firestein]

The crisis of the Constitution.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, it's a crisis of the Constitution because a judge wants to be president, it turns out that he shouldn't be president and he shouldn't be able to act executively like the president. But the left believes that one of 900 or any of the 900 judges should be able to do that. And if the president says, hey, no, you can't do that, well, then we find ourselves at this impasse of a constitutional crisis. So for weeks now, we've been exploring a question. Are we in a constitutional crisis? The answer is yes. Do you agree as a. Why is his head so small? Constitutional crisis. Yes, I do, Kristen. Democracy is at risk. Constitutional crisis. Constitutional crisis. We could be heading for a constitutional crisis. We are witnessing.

[Josh Firestein]

I just gotta pronounce it right.

[Jared McBride]

I know.

[Steven Crowder]

I believe we are in a constitutional crisis. And in some ways, saying we are. Constitutional crisis does not convey the gravity of the situation. A constitutional crisis. The constitutional crisis. The attorney general of New Jersey and the attorney general of Minnesota both said, we are in a constitutional crisis. We're on the precipice of a constitutional crisis. We are really in a constitutional crisis. People throw around the term constitutional crisis all the time.

[Josh Firestein]

Yeah, you do.

[Steven Crowder]

Now that term constitutional crisis is back.

[Jared McBride]

Okay.

[Josh Firestein]

When did it go away?

[Steven Crowder]

Constitutional crisis constitute. I had a stroke today. I looked like Schumer, by the way. So hard. Because on CNN, look, Education Department workers get 30 minutes to collect belongings. They just showed them crying. Let's hear what she has to say.

[Josh Firestein]

And it feels devastating to me, you know? You know, coming here, packing up my.

[Steven Crowder]

Bags, you know, and not knowing when I'm gonna get a next paycheck, you know?

[Josh Firestein]

Yeah, that's called getting fired.

[Steven Crowder]

Has anyone here ever been fired? I feel like everyone here has been fired at least once. Right?

[Josh Firestein]

I. I wanted to hear more of her speaking.

[Jared McBride]

Yeah.

[Josh Firestein]

Improper English.

[Steven Crowder]

Yes, exactly. Yeah, yeah. This is some of the educational department. Hey, Comet, you guys ever been fired? You know, like that's a part of life. It's not fun and it sucks. And by the way, we take no joy whenever we have to. We've had to fire people.

[Jared McBride]

Well, I got to shoot the guy doing the button. That was fun.

[Steven Crowder]

We've also had to fire people who've shown up to work lit. And I don't know, because they have a great morning routine. They've been up since 3:53. It's like, how do you still show up lit?

[Dave Landau]

Vodka and those bottles.

[Steven Crowder]

But they see this as a violation of fundamental human rights. They see this right now as a constitutional crisis where some judge who hasn't been elected cannot usurp the authority of the president.

[Josh Firestein]

So let me pack my bags and go and do a thing.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, I'm gonna pack my bags and go buy some. Buy some Coca Cola Classic. Half an hour with snap. I'm a snap you.

[Jared McBride]

10 minutes. Get out.

[Steven Crowder]

So last week, President Trump called for the impeachment of crooked judges on Truth Social. This is the reason they claimed constitutional crisis. I'll read this for you. For those of you who missed it, this radical left lunatic of a judge, a troublemaker, an agitator who was sadly appointed by Barack Hussein Obama, was not elected president. He didn't win the popular vote by a lot. He didn't win all seven swing states, all caps. He didn't win 2750 to 525 counties. That was me. He didn't win anything. I just love the caps.

[Jared McBride]

I know.

[Steven Crowder]

I'm just doing what the voters wanted me to do. This judge, like many of the crooked judges I am forced to appear before, should be impeached. And this is one of the things people are making a big deal out of the call to impeach. That's very unlikely to happen.

[Jared McBride]

Right, but it's all caps and three exclamation points. So you mispronounced it. Can you please do it correctly?

[Steven Crowder]

Impeach.

[Jared McBride]

Okay, there we go.

[Steven Crowder]

Thank you. So this prompted a rebuke from who many people believe to be compromised, Chief Justice Roberts. Here you have Chief Justice John Roberts appearing to push back on statements President Trump made earlier today suggesting that a Judge James Boasberg, who of course temporarily blocked deportations by the Trump administration, or at least tried to, should be impeached. And here the Chief justice writes, for more than two centuries, it has been established that impeachment is not an appropriate response to disagree disagreement concerning a judicial decision. The normal appellate Review process exists for that purpose. Right. But we'll get into the problem with the appellate process. So let me give you some key facts here. Key fact number one, and let me set the premise. I actually agree that there may be a constitutional crisis, but not for the reasons that they are claiming there may be a constitutional crisis. Because you have people acting as, to put it simply, president who are not president. A president signs an action, a president makes an executive order, and a judge who is not elected goes, no, no, I'm going to do the opposite of that. That judge is now de facto president and you didn't vote for that person. So the key fact here. Let's start with judges are deliberately usurping power and violating the authority of the executive branch. You cannot have a democracy where single individual district court judges can assume the full total powers of the Commander in Chief. Even on the Supreme Court, it takes agreement of five Supreme Court justices to change a federal policy. 5. A single district court judge out of 700 cannot set policy for the entire nation, let alone on national security and public safety issues. Think about that for a second. That's no small thing.

[Jared McBride]

Yes.

[Steven Crowder]

The Supreme Court justices, they all have to come to a majority decision. Right? We know that. We've been through some major, some landmark cases. And in this case, some random judge who hasn't been elected, who may have nothing to do with this president, can impose a nationwide injunction to stop the President of the United States. And that's exactly what is happening over lay B1. So really, just political opponents can shop for one out of the 900 or so judges across the country. And hey, who cares about the Supreme Court? Hey, who cares about the executive branch? This one judge said so. They are acting as de facto president. Now, technically, the injunctions, I get it, they only pause the actions. But let's be clear about this. That's basically a block. Because the President is only president for four years in this case, we know there isn't going to be another term. And the cases can often take years to go through that process. So a pause is a block for the entirety, potentially, of his administration.

[Jared McBride]

Yes.

[Steven Crowder]

Some guy who you didn't vote for in some place where you don't even live decides what the rest of the country lives with. Hey, remember that vote that you cast? It doesn't matter.

[Jared McBride]

Yeah. The injunction is also a clever way to have cover while doing it. Oh, I just wanted to stop and take a look at this long enough to make sure that we were doing it correctly. I didn't say that. You Broke the law necessarily. I just, I just, I just issued the injunction to make sure that we could look into it for a couple of years until you're gone.

[Steven Crowder]

Right? Imagine you're working at your job and someone comes in, right? Not someone who is your boss, not a supervisor, not a manager, some third party who you've never seen, who has nothing to do with your company. He goes, hey, hey, by the way, we're not firing you. We're just going to pause your job without pay until further review. We have to make sure that the system is going according to plan and your boss is going, no, no, no, no, I don't want to fire him. Yeah, I know, but I have the authority to. So you're paused. Without pay, this may take 2, 3, 4 years to work out, but you're not fired.

[Jared McBride]

Not fired. I wouldn't do that.

[Steven Crowder]

Just a pause. Yes, that's what we're dealing with here. Here's a key fact. Well, number two, this is where political biases come in. These judges hate President Trump and what that really means is they hate you. The American worker, the American voter, the person who you voted for. They revile you. So Judge Boasberg, who just basically blocked Trump's deportation flights or tried to. Let me give you some background on him. All references available link in the description, he attended a seminar by Rodell Leadership Institute who have anti Trump leaders funding sources. He also oversaw some grand jury matters that related to President Trump's January 6th case, the classified documents case. He also ordered Mike Pence to testify in Jack Smith's case against Donald Trump.

[Jared McBride]

Yeah, basically, I think too, on the January 6 thing, he said laws, strict enough laws did not exist.

[Steven Crowder]

Right.

[Jared McBride]

To be able to cover that. He wanted more severe penalties to be imposed on the People on January 6th.

[Steven Crowder]

This is an activist. Yes, it's very clear that this is an activist.

[Josh Firestein]

And doesn't he have a job like a district to represent judge upon?

[Steven Crowder]

You would think so. You would think he should do his job as judge. But this is also. That brings us to another point. These lower court actions, these blocks, they're not even close when you compare. This doesn't exist in a vacuum when you compare it to previous presidents. So let's look at the total for Biden, the total as far as blocks under Biden. And that was a high number. It was 14. Okay. The total under Barack Obama, 12. The total under George W. Bush. Meaning district courts. Right. District judges, how many times they blocked the president's agenda nine weeks into President Trump's second term, 15. 15 more than Biden in just nine weeks.

[Dave Landau]

Wow.

[Steven Crowder]

Does that prove bias? Maybe. Maybe it's just a happy coincidence for these judges. By the way, do you think that these judges, do you think our justice system that may be looking at some kind of reform, they may have a vested interest in the status quo. If they're looking at an administration who says, hey, we have to root out corruption in waste, hey, who knows? But good news is the judges try and block that, too. By the way, 90% of these blocks, of the 15 blocks in the first nine weeks, they came from Democrat appointed judges. This one judge here, people will say he was appointed by George W. And then he was elevated by Barack Obama. And that's one of the exceptions. 90% of the 15 blocks in the first nine weeks have come from judges appointed by Democrats. It's the ghost of the tyrant still hanging around here. Yeah. You voted in something different. These judges say, no, no, no, no. I was appointed by the guy who is precisely the reason that the Americans voted for something different. But you know what? No status quo. And people talk about destroying democracy.

[Jared McBride]

Yeah.

[Steven Crowder]

This is a constitutional crisis. You know what this is? Pulling at the threat of democracy by having unelected judges doing the bidding of one party. That, by the way, isn't even in power anymore, but they're still kind of in power. Think about scary that is.

[Josh Firestein]

How's that protecting democracy?

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, exactly.

[Josh Firestein]

Literally not voted in.

[Steven Crowder]

Exactly.

[Jared McBride]

Well, and especially on an issue that the American people have spoken broadly and loudly on for immigration. That was one of the top reasons that he was elected president. That judge went to that conference by the Rodell Institute. It was actually one of the things they hated about Trump's policies was specifically the immigration policy.

[Steven Crowder]

Yep.

[Jared McBride]

So if I'm somebody who's on the other side, I'm like, he went to this conference funded by these people that don't like immigration policies. I have an immigration issue with President Trump. He's my guy.

[Steven Crowder]

Blocked flights of known violent felons. Yes. So, and I watched the legacy media, by the way, this, this weekend. They referred to all of them as, you know, undocumented citizen, undocumented people, undocumented workers. These are gang members. This is an 80, 20 issue. Even people who don't believe in a wall say, well, yeah, of course we should deport people from Ms. 13. Of course we should deport people who are in violent criminal gangs. This judge says, no, you want to talk about being out of touch with the American voting constituency, only right now they have the power of President what did you vote for?

[Jared McBride]

Yeah, they're holding a hearing today on it. By the way, ECN is talking about it.

[Josh Firestein]

Yeah, we need Judge Dredd to be like you.

[Dave Landau]

Betray the law.

[Steven Crowder]

That's right. No person is acting like Judge.

[Dave Landau]

I am the law.

[Steven Crowder]

No, you're not.

[Josh Firestein]

Seriously, a betrayal of the law. Wait, hold on a sec. Breaking news. Judge rules it can't be fired.

[Steven Crowder]

Ah, there you go. It's a problem with those lifetime appointments. Here's a key fact, not a fact, but let's go to category three. I guess there are some options here, though, in dealing with this constitutional crisis. President Trump can get Congress, hopefully, if they get their act together, pass laws codifying doge, their cuts right into law, like USA Department of Education, passing laws clarifying birthright citizenship is not for illegals and not for children of illegals who came here specifically to have an anchor baby. They can actually confirm, hopefully, the President's power on issues like immigration or foreign policy, which fall firmly under the executive branch. Clearly, you, Schoolhouse Rock, you have legislative. Right. You have judicial, you have executive. And in this case, you don't even have the judicial, because largely federally, we think of the Supreme Court, you have smaller local courts taking over the executive. That's one thing we didn't really think would happen, huh?

[Jared McBride]

No, absolutely not. They've got to come up with a solution to this, otherwise this is just a sham.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, well, here's the thing. You gotta get Supreme Courts, the Supreme Court to reign in these lower courts. And actually Pam Bondi, AG, who I think is on her 140,000th Fox News appearance, consistent, predicted.

[Josh Firestein]

She's the AG. I thought she was the PR.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, well, you know, a little of column, a little of column B. And yesterday she predicted this is going to happen with a judge like Boasberg. What can you tell us about Judge Boasberg's ruling and whether or not the.

[Josh Firestein]

Supreme Court is going to get involved here?

[Steven Crowder]

Oh, the Supreme Court will get involved.

[Jared McBride]

This is an out of control judge.

[Steven Crowder]

A federal judge trying to control our entire foreign policy, and he cannot do it.

[Jared McBride]

Hmm.

[Steven Crowder]

She's still not even that great at pr. I think we just did a better job of it here, but I get it. And with all of these judges giving President Trump so much attention right now, it's a time where hopefully he has the right people around him. He should seek some wise counsel. And everyone is trying to get in on that game, including, by the way, someone who's walked a mile in his shoes, ex President George W. Bush.

[Josh Firestein]

Here's Some advice as president, it's tough being the center of attention. Everybody always wants a piece of you, but there's not enough of you to go around. You need to make time for you. I find that if you go in the Oval Office, put a tie on the door handle, you can be reading your magazines or doing your Sudoku, but everyone thinks you're in there getting nookie.

[Steven Crowder]

Look, let me wrap this up here with maybe an analogy that you can understand, okay? Or will help you. Let's say you're on a commercial flight or no American Delta Spirit. Spirit. But the point remains. So you have, you have a pilot, you have a co pilot, okay? So let's say you're heading to, I don't know, the Bahamas. Someone in coach speaks up, chimes in and says, no, no, no, no, no. Hey, you know what? I'm going into the cockpit and we're redirecting this flight. And everyone in there who paid for a ticket to go to the Bahamas going, what's going on? Hey, hey, stop him from getting into the cockpit. They go, no, no, hold on a second. There's a process to do that, and we're not going to be able to get through that process until we land. So he goes in, redirects you, and then on the ground they say, well, we're going through the process to see if this is something that we should have been doing. Yeah, but I didn't want to be in Haiti. Now I'm in Haiti. The problem is already here.

[Josh Firestein]

And how'd you get by the first class curtain?

[Steven Crowder]

Who could penetrate that force? Well, this guy did. We're supposed to have safeguards in place, and instead we're going, no, no, no, no, no. Go through the process. So instead of the pilot, who was the designated pilot, you have some random person in coach saying, no, no, no, I'm deciding for the rest of the plane. That's this judge. And by the way, let's go through some other examples. Who do you want? You may not like Donald Trump, but at least you know he was elected. At least you know that a plurality, if not significant majority of Americans voted for him. We went through the process. Everyone knows how this election went. It's one of the few elections in recent memory that has not been questioned by the left or the right. Do you want that guy, the commander in chief, the executive who was voted in to make these decisions? Or let me give you some specific examples, could be any one of these unelected judges, like Tanya Chitkin. She was the judge in the Trump January 6 case, despite her bias against January 6, she recommended sentences even above what the DOJ suggested. You want her making decisions as it relates to all of you in the United States. How about this guy, John McConnell? He's a leftist judge who blocked the US aid, other cuts. And no, no, you can't make those cuts, which are overwhelmingly supported by you. He also said that he wanted to apply laws to minorities to, quote, meet them where they are, meaning different standards of application of law depending on your race. How about Anna Race? She's one of those judges. She's an LGBTQ AI judge who blocked the military trans ban, which is overwhelmingly supported. Do you want these judges to be in charge, or do you want the guy who was elected? And by the way, that question goes for you Democrats, because you can elect someone next time, and the same thing can happen.

[Jared McBride]

Well, speaking of bands, really quickly, since we're off of YouTube right now, we no longer have to worry about that, but we are actually now able to sell the Socialism is for fig shirt.

[Steven Crowder]

Oh, that's right. And you guys all. You guys all wore it.

[Jared McBride]

Yeah.

[Steven Crowder]

That's very nice.

[Jared McBride]

Wait, I. You know what? I noticed that Josh doesn't have one. So, Josh, where's your shirt?

[Josh Firestein]

What?

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, yeah, yeah. What are you, some. Some kind of fake sympathizer?

[Josh Firestein]

Yeah, Josh, what are you, a figot?

[Steven Crowder]

A figure?

[Josh Firestein]

All right.

[Steven Crowder]

He likes. There we go.

[Jared McBride]

There boy.

[Steven Crowder]

The team player.

[Jared McBride]

There's his shirt. Get a nice shot of that.

[Steven Crowder]

Crowdershop.com for those of you who don't know the history. YouTube said that we literally couldn't be on YouTube if we sold this shirt off of YouTube. They said as long as that shirt is sold in the merch shop, you can't be on YouTube. If that link. So we've just taken the link off of YouTube and now what is YouTube going to do? It was our most popular shirt. You can go and purchase it [e-mail]. no mystery box needed for the first time in years. In years.

[Jared McBride]

Go get yours now.

[Josh Firestein]

I feel comfortable now. Like, I feel like me.

[Jared McBride]

I've been.

[Josh Firestein]

I've been really slow and boring today. I feel like I'm about to.

[Steven Crowder]

No, no.

[Josh Firestein]

Kick it in a hype.

[Steven Crowder]

It's gonna add some zest.

[Josh Firestein]

Yeah, there's a little glass in this shirt, but, yeah, I think that might.

[Steven Crowder]

Be part of it. The fiberglass is what makes it retain its shape.

[Josh Firestein]

That's what Jesus felt like.

[Steven Crowder]

By the way, don't wash that on hot. Do not wash that on hot. You will be cut all over.

[Josh Firestein]

Now I wear it on hot.

[Jared McBride]

I see that as a gift.

[Steven Crowder]

You know, people have talked about fake news and that was a term that was used by the left and then the left tried to. Well, sorry, they tried to use it against the right and then we co opted it and now they hate this term, fake news. But it is a real thing. And fake news can apply to most of legacy media. Of course. Abc, NBC, cnn, cbs, msnbc, you know, the whole list. Yeah, but it applies now online too where you do have to be really careful with information that gets out there. And so please, we make all of the references available. Every single show links in the description. I encourage you to not take my word for it and do your own research because this applies now to soda and snap. Let me, before we get to this and get to the bad actors here who accepted money from big soda companies to tell you that conservatives should support junk food and snap, let me give you a concept. It's novel here. It's as simple as this. You pay for it, whatever it is, food, healthcare, you choose, I pay for it, you don't. It's the difference between you going to the store and purchasing something for yourself. You can choose whatever you want versus me getting you a gift. You have no say in it.

[Josh Firestein]

It's the exact same thing I tell my kids at the ice cream truck.

[Steven Crowder]

I pay my rules.

[Josh Firestein]

I pay, you get Cheetos.

[Steven Crowder]

So, so this brings us to the snap.

[Josh Firestein]

You pay, you get ice cream.

[Steven Crowder]

If you don't finish your Cheetos, you don't get your Takis. Dad, can I have an avocado? No, you fig.

[Josh Firestein]

No corn chips.

[Steven Crowder]

So over the weekend, you know, this whole thing now Snap, there's been discussion regarding banning soda and junk food from snap. Right. This is the government program that pays for people's food. There are a bunch of influencers, many of whom are on the right, who copy pasted talking points about snap. People on the right trying to tell you this is a conservative idea, saying a new war on soda has begun targeting purchases made through snap. I don't believe it's the government's role to decide what people should or shouldn't eat. Restricting soda through SNAP is an unnecessary move by the government to control consumption, overstepping its authority and infringing on individual liberty. So this was framed. You have the left who think that you can trim nothing from government. And now you have people on the right, so called influencers who reportedly, by the way, were offered up to $1,000. Geez, and were given direct talking points to try and advocate as though it's a libertarian or conservative point of view to keep junk food in snap. And by the way, Nick Shorter was the one who reported on this. Think about that first. So be very, very careful. And by the way, I would not trust anyone who put these out there and copy pasted these talking points. They were even given the talking points about Donald Trump's Diet Coke button.

[Jared McBride]

Yes.

[Josh Firestein]

It's like that old, that old sitcom bit with the friend in the bush telling you what to say to the girl in the window.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah. Whoa.

[Josh Firestein]

Tell her soda makes you super buff.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, yeah, but he's paying him a thousand dollars.

[Jared McBride]

Yeah, exactly.

[Josh Firestein]

Oh, big money.

[Steven Crowder]

Tell them that Thomas Jefferson would want you to have Fanta. And to be fair, Eric Daugherty, who posted this there, he said, yeah, that was dumb of me. Massive egg on my face. In all seriousness, it won't happen again.

[Jared McBride]

So there's a good point to be made here. It's just because you got caught.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah.

[Jared McBride]

Like, oh, man, I shouldn't have done that. Should have been when you got the email saying, hey, will you say something stupid for a thousand dollars Egg on my face?

[Josh Firestein]

And also, soda gives you great boners.

[Jared McBride]

It also gets egg off of your face.

[Steven Crowder]

It's great as part of your nine hour morning routine.

[Josh Firestein]

Those weren't bottled water, they were sodas.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, just. And Riley Gaines, you know, she's out there quite a bit as a commentator. She said that she was offered money to make a post and she said no, so good for her.

[Josh Firestein]

Well, she saw the sprite was actually a 7 up. It was.

[Steven Crowder]

I'm more of a squirt person. Maybe Fresca, but this is no squirt. And Fresky.

[Jared McBride]

Thomas is more of a Fresky. Yeah.

[Steven Crowder]

All right, stop it. Throw up, you'll get it in the supermarket.

[Jared McBride]

Don't look at me. It was noodles your children started.

[Steven Crowder]

Children. But this is why you say, why is there this infighting? There are people with ulterior motives. They have a vested interest in warping your perspective. Again, this is really simple. This is why I say, don't just take issues on an individual basis. You do need to have a worldview. You do need to have a lens through which you see these issues when we're dealing with your dollars, the American workers dollars. Okay, look, you pay for your own crap. You choose. I pay for it. You don't. And if some of these people, by the way, can't just buy whatever they want, you need to understand this Many people involved with snap, they'll just take it. Well, give them room to destroy 28 EBT cards later. Yes, and here's the thing too. You were talking about this. Look, a lot of these people are on some kind of government health care program.

[Josh Firestein]

Exactly.

[Steven Crowder]

This is the problem. You, right, if you work and you make just a middling income, you won't qualify for the Obamacare exchange. Okay? So you have to pay for your own health care. That's very likely expensive. You won't qualify for snap. You have to buy your own groceries, which is very expensive. Meanwhile, someone who is on subsidized health care can buy junk food all at your expense. And it's a never ending loop of disease, of obesity and government subsidization. Let me give you some examples here. Just as far as how much more life costs for you if you are a productive, contributing member of society. That's the problem. Right now. We're incentivizing people to not be contributing members of society. So a normal shopping cart for the average American people, not on snap. These are the top items they likely purchase. Number one, meat. 2. Veggies. 3. Dairy cheese. 4. Fruit, 5. Sweetened beverages. You look at a SNAP cart, this comes from the USDA number one, meat. Number two, sweetened veg. Sweetened beverages.

[Josh Firestein]

Number three, you gotta marinate your meat in Fanta veggies.

[Steven Crowder]

Then four. Prepared frozen food, bad. Five. Prepared frozen desserts, bad.

[Jared McBride]

Bad.

[Josh Firestein]

That makes me sad.

[Steven Crowder]

Each year, SNAP recipients spend $27 billion on junk food. And more importantly, SNAP recipients spend two times more than you per average grocery store trip for non SNAP citizens. Meaning you're paying with your own money. $18. Snap recipients, $36. It's almost twice we spend $145 billion a year on Snap. It's meant to give people necessities. You pay for necessities during a time where egg prices were skyrocketing. SNAP was recipients. Sorry. You pay for luxuries for them. Oh, even poor people deserve a treat. No, they don't. No, they don't. That's the talking point. You don't think poor people deserve treats? Fuck no. How about that? No, I don't. I don't. I absolutely don't. If you're down on your luck and you need a roll of salama, you need some eggs, some milk, fine. I don't want your kids to starve. You don't know. No, I don't. I don't think you deserve Funyuns. That doesn't mean I'm racist. That doesn't mean I'm classist. You know why? Cause I don't. Don't buy them.

[Josh Firestein]

Prepare desserts. How about I give you flour, milk, sugar and eggs and you can make your own dessert. You're not doing shit. You don't have a job.

[Steven Crowder]

I know you got the time.

[Josh Firestein]

Bake a cake, stupid.

[Steven Crowder]

Well, pardon my, pardon my language, but look, this kind of thing, because it's, it's at the root of the problem.

[Jared McBride]

Yeah.

[Steven Crowder]

For some reason, one side of the aisle and paid influencers who claim to be on the right always support subsidizing the non contributing zeros while vilifying you for your contributions. You're saying that you should have a thing? Yes, I am and yes, I do. If you, you know what? If there isn't some kind of a control mechanism, you know, you're gonna have. You're gonna have grocery slapping vigilantes, just me, Josh and Jill walking in, seeing the Frito. Go. Get that out of here. Here's some milk.

[Josh Firestein]

Yeah. When you got a fat guy slapping junk food out of your hands, you know something's wrong.

[Jared McBride]

Yes, really wrong.

[Steven Crowder]

It's primarily a financial issue.

[Jared McBride]

And by the way, 10% is usually the amount, roughly 10% of what they spend on sugary drinks alone. So back in, I think when the study was done, it was about 6 to 10 billion. Based on that number, it's about $14 billion a year.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah.

[Jared McBride]

Being spent. No wonder soda companies are paying people to post to keep it.

[Steven Crowder]

Next time you see a commercial for Coca Cola or the newest sugary energy drink. Hey, I want you to think you paid for that.

[Jared McBride]

Yep.

[Josh Firestein]

The fact that it's common practice to call it junk food, and we're like, yeah, we should be subsidized. We should be paying for that.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah.

[Josh Firestein]

Here, eat the junk food. Junk's another word for garbage. Here's your garbage food.

[Steven Crowder]

Right.

[Josh Firestein]

What's the first year, you poor little garbage person.

[Steven Crowder]

We have more access to food than ever. And we have a generation who are fatter, sicker, and they're going to die younger than their parents. And we're talking about if the taxpayer should foot the bill for what we know is making them fatter, sicker, die younger. We have a health epidemic in this country, and some folks seem to think so. Does is actually and literally, not figuratively, the cure. Our mom told us when we were younger, if we ate a sugar, you drink a diet Coke afterwards and it'll cancel out the sugar.

[Josh Firestein]

Okay.

[Steven Crowder]

It's hard to argue with that logic because I didn't prepare this segment and I don't know the science on it. She may be right, she may be.

[Jared McBride]

Correct, but I'm gonna bet she's not.

[Steven Crowder]

I don't know. It only works with diet, right? Yes.

[Josh Firestein]

It's not just all diet sodas.

[Steven Crowder]

She thinks diet soda is a tapeworm. That's if you want to look like her. Follow her advice.

[Jared McBride]

Yeah. You want to ferment as well?

[Steven Crowder]

Let's just, you know, let's start importing Mexican tap water. Give it to them that it'll, it'll solve it. See what happens. See how much weight you lose with might help. You got a tapeworm, it eats it and then it's gone. And by the way, one more thing I want to address because you have people on the right who obviously. And they go, well, yeah, well, hold on a second. Yeah. Aren't you hypocritical? Weren't you against Bloomberg's banning of Big Gulps? Okay, stupid. Let me go through this again. Do you understand that someone voluntarily purchasing something that they know is not good for them, let's say a soda as a treat for themselves in New York City. That's not the same thing as subsidizing junk food for poor people who need bare necessities.

[Jared McBride]

Right?

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, sure. We shouldn't allow stuff in the food supply that causes cancer, whatever it is. You know, if we're, we're allowing things. Hopefully RFK does a good job with that. Assuming that the food supply is kept relatively safe. Someone who knows that a sugary drink is not good for them, but they choose to purchase a size large in New York, that is individual liberty. Someone using your money to purchase crap that makes them a larger, quite literally burden on the health care system. That has nothing to do with liberty. It's as simple as this. You pay for it. You choose. I pay for it. I choose. You don't like it, get a job. Now. We are going to be continuing, of course, in just a little bit.

Let's go on to anything else with Snap. Can I go to the tiny people?

[Jared McBride]

China.

[Josh Firestein]

Snap sounds like an off brand soda.

[Steven Crowder]

It does. It does sound like an off brand soda.

[Josh Firestein]

Tired of Coke and Pepsi? Try Snap.

[Dave Landau]

Yeah, it's.

[Steven Crowder]

It's basically the same thing with a different logo. Like rc. Remember them? If you have an EDT card, you'll get one.

[Jared McBride]

Pull it up really quickly.

[Steven Crowder]

I thought Thomas Massey was on the right side of this. Hold on.

[Jared McBride]

People should not. Oh, wait, hold on.

[Steven Crowder]

No, he is. He's saying you should not use.

[Jared McBride]

Okay.

[Josh Firestein]

Oh, good thing you interrupted.

[Jared McBride]

Sorry.

[Steven Crowder]

We got some momentum going. Yeah. All right. Hold on a second. Well, we. We got. We got to send a tin pool first.

[Josh Firestein]

We're going to.

[Jared McBride]

That one works. Thanks, Research.

[Steven Crowder]

All right. All right. China. By the way, you think China's funding junk food? They don't even have a chip in their brain. No, no, no, no, no, no. You're already fat. Already fat. We don't pay for food. You can't snap your arm finger you fat. We pay for Ozempic. Make you no more fat. China is preparing for war. How do we know now? Because there's pretty much a date that seems to be set. And the equipment and artillery that they are developing has been raising some eyebrows. Let's get to the little Chinese. It's time for China to be rising we invade Taiwan any day we train.

[Dave Landau]

With secret kung fu fighting We're PP in your kung fu by the way.

[Josh Firestein]

China is asshole don't you pickle fire.

[Dave Landau]

We turn your two fry right warp.

[Steven Crowder]

China on the rise Once upon a time like, is this okay? Oh, is this okay on YouTube? We don't care.

[Josh Firestein]

It doesn't matter.

[Steven Crowder]

So President Trump even addressed this again. We're going to rumble premium. Everyone else go to Tim Pool. He addressed the prospect of war with the Chinese from the Oval Office. We don't want to have a potential war with China, but I can tell you, if we did, we're very well equipped to handle it. But I don't want to show that to anybody, but certainly you wouldn't show.
