1. US-India Relations and Tariffs

Timestamp: 00:15 – 55:20

The discussion opens with a strong condemnation of India, labeling it "the worst country" and criticizing its alliance with the United States. Gerald Morgan emphasizes the imposition of tariffs by former President Donald Trump as a response to India's economic strategies.

• Gerald Morgan (00:15): "India is terrible. Donald Trump's going to be imposing some tariffs on them. They've been pretending to be our ally... they're subverting our system to act as a portal, a loophole for China."

The hosts discuss India's economic maneuvers, particularly its purchase of Russian oil and its role in circumventing US tariffs. They argue that India's actions undermine US interests and question the authenticity of its alliance with the US.

• Gerald Morgan (55:15): "India has been dishonest economically. They've betrayed us by engaging in trade and business with our enemies... They're taking advantage of the United States gleefully."

Steven Crowder chimes in, highlighting the strategic implications of India's partnerships and the challenges they pose to America's global stance.

• Steven Crowder (57:48): "The future of the 21st Century is going to be determined by the strength of the United States-India Partnership."

2. Jim Acosta's AI Interview

Timestamp: 02:45 – 28:58

A significant portion of the episode critiques Jim Acosta of CNN for his controversial use of AI to interview a deceased student from the Parkland school shooting.

• Gerald Morgan (19:56): "Jim Acosta interviewed an AI version of Joaquin Oliver, a kid who was murdered in Parkland... it's the most tone-deaf, disturbing and hilarious disaster."

The hosts condemn the ethical implications of using AI in such a sensitive context, arguing that it manipulates emotional narratives to push a political agenda.

• Gerald Morgan (21:04): "Both sides politicize it. No, no. You can't name me a single conservative Republican ever who interviewed a dead person through AI to try and push constitutional carry."

They point out the lack of authenticity and the potential for AI to distort truths, raising concerns about media manipulation and the erosion of journalistic integrity.

• Gerald Morgan (26:40): "The most offensive part is using someone to say things they would never actually say or have ideas they never had. So it's not even authentic."

The conversation highlights the dangers of AI in media, emphasizing the need for genuine human interaction and accountability.

3. Critique of Celebrity Advertisements

Timestamp: 06:09 – 63:04

The hosts analyze and mock recent advertising campaigns featuring celebrities like Sydney Sweeney and Beyoncé for brands like American Eagle and Levi's. They argue that these ads lack authenticity and fail to resonate with the average American consumer.

• Gerald Morgan (12:13): "Sydney Sweeney is not claiming authenticity. Levi's is trying to sell to the heartland, but there's nothing authentic about this. It's inception of horrible advertising."

The discussion extends to how these corporations use celebrities to convey messages that the hosts perceive as disingenuous, criticizing the brands for not understanding their target demographic.

• Gerald Morgan (16:00): "Levi's teaming up with Beyoncé... they are just not relatable to middle Americans."

Steven Crowder adds, highlighting the disparity in reception between ads featuring white versus black celebrities.

• Steven Crowder (17:12): "You put a pretty white girl in an ad and it flies. Put a pretty black girl in an ad and it doesn't work. It's a stupid ad."

The segment concludes with a humorous review of Harvest Right freeze-dried products, maintaining the lighthearted tone amidst the critiques.

4. Guatemala-First Congresswoman and Treason Discussion

Timestamp: 33:03 – 44:55

A heated debate arises around Delia Ramirez, a congresswoman who claims to prioritize her Guatemalan heritage over her American identity. The hosts argue that such statements constitute disloyalty and border on treason.

• Gerald Morgan (34:24): "When you say you're Guatemalan first, that's a problem. It sounds like you're going to have conflicting interests."

They reference Ramirez's stance and her endorsement of a socialist mayoral candidate, linking her national allegiance to broader concerns about loyalty and representation.

• Gerald Morgan (37:04): "She endorsed Mamdani for mayor of New York City. She is 'Guatemala first'... that's a silly, crappy, shithole country."

The discussion critiques the cultural and political implications of prioritizing another country's identity, asserting that it undermines American sovereignty and allegiance.

• Gerald Morgan (39:36): "America first is about prioritizing American interests and loyalty. Saying 'Guatemala first' alienates constituents and demonstrates conflicting loyalties."

---

5. FEMA Disaster Aid and Israel Connection

Timestamp: 44:55 – 53:32

The conversation shifts to a recent DHS notice revealed by Axios, alleging that FEMA disaster relief could be denied to states boycotting Israeli companies. The hosts argue that this politicizes disaster aid and unfairly targets Israel.

• Gerald Morgan (46:39): "Israel should have nothing to do with how we spend our disaster relief funds. It's not about race; it's about fair assistance to Americans."

They express skepticism over the DHS's motives, suggesting that the language linking disaster aid to Israel was removed post-outrage, implying deceit.

• Gerald Morgan (48:26): "They removed it and then lied to you by saying it's not there. But it was."

Steven Crowder criticizes the exclusive focus on Israel in US policies, arguing that it fuels anti-Semitism and distracts from genuine American concerns.

• Steven Crowder (52:11): "Stop acting like Israel is special. Otherwise, we'll think maybe AIPAC is making inroads and that fuels harmful conspiracy theories."

The hosts call for a clear separation between international alliances and domestic aid, emphasizing that disaster relief should solely focus on American needs.

• Gerald Morgan (52:55): "If you say 'Israel first,' you're gone. Disaster assistance should not be tied to foreign policy endorsements."

---

Conclusion

Throughout the episode, "Louder with Crowder" presents a vehement defense of the "America First" ideology, critiquing perceived weaknesses in international alliances, media practices, and political loyalty. The hosts employ a blend of humor, sarcasm, and assertive rhetoric to challenge prevailing narratives, advocating for a more insular and patriotic approach to governance and media.

[Gerald Morgan]

Welcome to the lineup live on rumble. That's from 9am Eastern to 7pm Eastern. You don't need to change that dial. If you still had a dial. I don't know why I keep saying that. But there's a lot to get to today. Okay, a couple of things. First off, India is terrible. Donald Trump's going to be imposing some tariffs on them. They've been pretending to be our ally. It's the worst country. That's it. It's just the worst country. And we're going to get to how they abuse our system, why it's important to enforce these tariffs, how they are subverting our system to sort of act as a portal, a loophole for China. White House made another error here with FEMA and the Israel connection for disaster aid debacle. And that is absolutely a debacle. We'll call balls and strikes on that. I want to introduce you though to two new stories today. First off, no one has seen this yet. Only about 5,000 plays. Jim Acosta interviewed an AI ghost of one of the children who was killed at Parkland that actually happened. So I thought that this had gone viral and then I realized that we had just seen it and were introduced. It's the most tone deaf, disturbing and hilarious disaster I think I've seen in online content. And there's a Guatemala first congress lady. She says that she's Guatemalan before American. What point do you get hung for treason? Comment below. That's the question of the day. What constitutes treason? What constitutes a good old hanging tree? I'm not saying that we should, but we should. And welcome, of course, those coming in from Bongino army. As I understand it always Bongino army. Coming in today from Vincent, we welcome you to the show. After us is Tim Poole. Vincent comes from Vincente, which in Latin and all the Romance languages are based in Latin translates to roughly self imposed dead end. I think this has run its course on with the show. You woke up this morning and got yourself above. Mama always said that you'd be the chosen one. She said you weren't a million but went down to all I strive cause YouTube's a comedy trash hole and you.

[Steven Crowder]

[Gerald Morgan]

We were rushing there because I broke another pen.

[Steven Crowder]

You did. And then I told you you didn't break it, and just turns out you did.

[Gerald Morgan]

You ever in high school, have those pens that you deliberately break so you can slam it and go bing? Oh, yeah. Yeah.

[Steven Crowder]

It was fun.

[Gerald Morgan]

Yeah, it was fun. Those were good times. Those were good times until I got horribly bullied.

[Josh]

I used a pen cap to smoke marijuana out of a plastic straw.

[Gerald Morgan]

Wow. I wouldn't admit to a felony on air.

[Steven Crowder]

Okay, if you need to be cool.

[Gerald Morgan]

Another question for. If you could bring one famous person back from the dead, Jesus, who would it? Don't use the Lord's name in vain, Gerald. Who would it be? Who would it be?

[Steven Crowder]

Turns out he already did that.

[Gerald Morgan]

You can't say Tupac, because we have enough drama fags around as it is. It's a live show, weekdays, 11am we're just streaming exclusively to Rumble because why would we stream this to YouTube? All right, Captain Morgan, you're looking down. What's going on? I'm fine.

[Steven Crowder]

[Gerald Morgan]

Speaking of buzzkill. So we all know Sydney Sweeney.

[Steven Crowder]

That's what I always do.

[Gerald Morgan]

And look, and I guess there's a conversation to be had. Is she the hottest woman ever? She's just a pretty woman.

[Steven Crowder]

A very pretty woman.

[Gerald Morgan]

But let's just be honest, the Overton window has been moved and enlarged because Lizzo has decided to jump on the Sydney Sweeney trend. And it's going about exactly how you would expect it to. Let's watch this. And I don't want to interrupt. I'll just allow you to enjoy the beauty. Thank you. Yeah.

[Drew]

Out of my face Ho, give me some space it's way too hot up in here I'm sweating out of my lace don't need no bottle service we pulled up with our drinks Trunk full of that Ace Trunk full of that Henny if we ain't got no Waffle House we pulling up to the Danny's I' ma give him a grand slam he pulling off of the panties the way he hit from the back, I might give him one of my Grammys did this for the culture that left, right, nap, Bend it over Got scissor and docha. I ate that. Now let's do it over.

[Gerald Morgan]

What?

[Drew]

[Gerald Morgan]

Well, summer's over because you blocked out the sun. And what are you doing?

[Josh]

Just trying to hide my boner.

[Gerald Morgan]

And you had that point, too, with her.

[Josh]

Yeah, well, she.

[Gerald Morgan]

Well, she puts on her pants. Well, Sydney Sweeney's doing it because.

[Josh]

Yeah, Sydney Sweeney, she's, like, copying her. Sydney's, like, putting on her pants, like, oh, I wasn't.

[Gerald Morgan]

I was in bed, and this is what I. Look.

[Josh]

And Lizzo's putting her pants on like I do. Like, she has to lay down to put them on.

[Gerald Morgan]

Yes. It's a medical necessity. Pull my son up here for her. Yeah, it's not exactly the same thing. You're gonna have to get the jaws of life to pry them off of her. Let's go back and just. Let's play this. And so let's examine the lyrics.

[Drew]

All right.

[Gerald Morgan]

Yeah.

[Drew]

Out of my face okay. Ho, give me some space.

[Gerald Morgan]

Pause, like, why there. Give you some space. Like warehouse space, Flex space. A tarmac outer space. Let's keep playing.

[Drew]

It's way too hot a thing I'm sweating out of my legs Pause.

[Gerald Morgan]

That's because you have a medical problem. It's a. It's a strain for your heart to pump, so you tend to sweat more.

[Josh]

Sweat a little extra.

[Gerald Morgan]

Yeah, your body's trying to tell you something, Lizzo. Keep playing.

[Drew]

If we ain't got no Waffle House, we pulling up to the Denny.

[Gerald Morgan]

What? Wait, wait, wait. First off. First. First off, there are no chair. Let me take this. So there are. There are many other options, but it just shows you, like, the. Like the compulsion to eat at 4 in the morning. And it's like, if there's no waffles, I could go to. I gotta go to Denny's. And I'm. And the employees.

[Josh]

What's the next line? I eat food at will. I don't tip on my bill.

[Gerald Morgan]

That's right.

[Josh]

Meet me in the back and I'll fight you by the till.

[Gerald Morgan]

Yes. And every employee at Denny's immediately quit. Keep playing.

[Drew]

Give him a grand slam. He pulling off of the panties. The way he hit from the back, I might give him one of my Grammys.

[Gerald Morgan]

Pause. You're not going to be upset if I call you a whore, are you? Because you're saying you're talking about an exchange of commodity goods or services for sex. Also, I mean, pulling off your panties. I mean, the person would have to have a wingspan of an albatross. Like you'd have to have Phelps pulling off those panties as an assistant. Just. All right, keep playing.

[Josh]

It's a love song.

[Gerald Morgan]

Yes.

[Drew]

Bended over, Got scissor and doja. I ate that. Now let's do it over.

[Gerald Morgan]

Pause. No one is surprised that you ate that. That is the least, least twist turn of events in any song ever. I get it. I know. Joe. I'll take this. Keep playing.

[Drew]

Told you. I'm going into October. Acting like the fun is over. Acting like summer's over.

[Josh]

I like her natural hair.

[Gerald Morgan]

Yeah. Different song than Ryan Adams after the morbidly obese land whales of summer have gone.

[Josh]

Remember when Sydney Sweeney did the same ad but with cornrows?

[Gerald Morgan]

Yes, exactly. Like she came back from a crappy.

[Steven Crowder]

Cruise and sing about her first choice for dining. Waffle House, then going to Danny.

[Josh]

You know, guys, you guys need to lay off Waffle House in Denny's.

[Gerald Morgan]

Her preference is Waffle House. Her safety's Denny.

[Steven Crowder]

That's what I'm saying.

[Josh]

That makes sense, though.

[Gerald Morgan]

Like, me with Harvard, My safety. Now, I don't know if Lizzo has a great sense of humor or just doesn't underst because she posted this on her official Account five days ago said if Democrats won the election.

[Josh]

Is she funny?

[Gerald Morgan]

This is kind of funny. But then her caption is, my jeans are black, but she's wearing blue jeans. So do you think she thinks it's just spelled G E N E? It's like there's a language barrier, but it's just an IQ barrier.

[Josh]

I think that she's there. I think she's on the cusp of a joke.

[Gerald Morgan]

I don't know if she's on. She's on the crust of a joke. She's on the cheese filled crust of a joke.

[Steven Crowder]

How did she make her face look fatter in that picture?

[Gerald Morgan]

Well, you know, it's all. She didn't do it.

[Josh]

Somebody else did that.

[Gerald Morgan]

But she made a picture to be fair.

[Josh]

Yeah, no, someone else made that.

[Gerald Morgan]

No, no, no.

[Steven Crowder]

She found clothes, a pose, and lighting that made her face fatter.

[Gerald Morgan]

She JD Vance memed herself. Yes, she did.

[Josh]

You to believe maybe she's funny.

[Gerald Morgan]

I don't know. I doubting so. But she could be. I have no idea. Somebody who plays the pan flute naked at the Jeffers memorial, Whatever the hell it is. I get that none of that is factually correct, but you understand the general. She played a flute. Was it? She played Madison. Madison's flute. Yeah.

[Steven Crowder]

It's a million dollar flute, I guess.

[Gerald Morgan]

Yeah.

[Josh]

In a thong. I thought it was great.

[Gerald Morgan]

Yeah.

[Steven Crowder]

Classy sequins, you know.

[Gerald Morgan]

So anyways, this is probably brilliant. It's brilliant. Sydney Sweeney America. Like, you cannot pay for this kind of advertising. And so telling American eagle, hey, hold my Bud Light. That's foreshadowing. Levi's just decided to release their new ad with Beyonce. They're just like you.

[Drew]

Call me, pretty little things.

[Gerald Morgan]

Pause, pause, pause, pause. Was she putting diamonds in the dryer at a laundromat? Rhinestones, rhinestones, rhinestones.

[Steven Crowder]

Steven.

[Gerald Morgan]

Okay, yes. It's science already. None of this makes sense.

[Josh]

It's like scent beads. Some people put, you know, like the downy scent beads. Some people put rhinestones, a bucket.

[Gerald Morgan]

Like it's a petting zoo of scent beads.

[Josh]

Bucket and a mop. Rhinestone on my.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, there you go.

[Gerald Morgan]

Okay. She's putting right. Well, by the way, she is going to void the warranty on that Speed Queen dryer.

[Josh]

There's no way those were quarters. I was like, she's doing it wrong.

[Gerald Morgan]

Yeah, she is doing it wrong.

[Josh]

You put it in the top, but says do not attempt on the bottom there.

[Gerald Morgan]

Very. Oh, wow. Guys, you're missing the point. You're missing the point. Beyonce invented country music. Let's continue. Baby, let me rattle that snake with my venom.

[Josh]

That's a nice booty.

[Steven Crowder]

No.

[Gerald Morgan]

Yeah. Pause. Okay, so here's the problem. This is why I said, like, Sydney Sweeney. She was just dressed, you know, in. In. In. In jeans and you could say Canadian tuxedo. Most people don't wear that, but it's something that you've seen people wear. In this case, she's dressed like Lloyd Christmas at the resort. Like, this is not. It's not something people can relate to. Hey, a classic muscle car and someone wearing jeans. That's a throwback. In this case, she's wearing rhinestones, putting them in a dryer, and dressed like a cartoon character. But let's continue. They're just like, you wish you his pants down. Yeah. What? Your phone down to the guarantee you she can't ride that motorcycle. No, she's putting rhinestones in the dryer. Well, you think she's going to know how to. How to use that clutch?

[Steven Crowder]

I. I loved it.

[Gerald Morgan]

All right, okay. Are you serious? He's just being a counterculturalist. He thinks Lizzo's hot. He thinks that's a. A run of the mill daily outfit with rhinestones up the side of your lower back.

[Josh]

Everything about it's like, hey, come on, Gerald used to wear those jeans.

[Gerald Morgan]

It's like Sydney Sweeney, American Eagle, said, you know what? We gotta get away from all this lgbtq AIP and all this stuff that's completely out of touch. Let's just create something that resonates with middle Americans, right? People who wear jeans and then Levi's like, we gotta do the same thing. Beyonce, you know how to reach the American middle class. She's like, yeah, I'm thinking like rhinestones. And I banged Timothy Elephant then ride a motorcycle. They're like, brilliant. I'm just gonna look at him.

[Steven Crowder]

His pants gonna fall down in the bar.

[Gerald Morgan]

Yeah. People can copy paste themselves onto you in this. So it's just not the same thing. It's still going for the glamour. It's still the Hollywood feel. It's the opposite. It's an anti American Eagle type ad, which, by the way, was anti this kind of ad. It's like inception of horrible advertising. Somewhere the real Don Draper is swallowing strychnine. But here is CNN reacting to this ad this morning. Ads for jeans have caused quite sterling lately. Now Levi's getting in on the ad because of you. Ad featuring Beyonce. Baby, let me rattle that snake with my venom. Denim on denim on denim on denim. Levi's teaming up with queen beat to release the denim cowboy. A perfect fit as the cowboy. Carter singer has a song titled Levi's Jeans. By the way, any man who refers to her as queen bee, you're gay. You're a gay man if you say queen bee. And I found that one out the hard way because I had a man get mad and say, you shouldn't insult queen bee like that. I know exactly who you're talking. And it took me a minute to process the gayness where I was like, oh, you're one of them.

[Josh]

Yeah, well, now you know not to say that to me again.

[Gerald Morgan]

Here's what it is. Here's what it comes down to. Authenticity. Look, Sydney Sweeney is not. Is not claiming. And that's why I say girl next. Really pretty version of girl next door. Doesn't look to me like a supermodel, but pretty version of girl next. It's relatable. It's about authenticity. It seems like something she would wear. She would wear jeans. She probably would like an old muscle car. There's nothing authentic about this. Levi's is trying to sell to the heartland. She's not authentically country. She doesn't know country music. Beyonce, her music was not actual country. And now she's trying to act like she hangs out at line dancing bars with Timothy Oliphant after fornicating with him, even though we all know that she's married to a former crack dealer. So none of it resonates. And they'll wonder why it's not success. How much you want to bet they will say it's because of racism? That's what they're hoping for. They're hoping to dine out on that controversy. Let me give you some numbers here. And I can't necessarily say that correlation equals causation, but American Eagle, right after Sydney Sweeney, the ad, the stock jumped 17%. Levi's, that ad, I believe, just came out yesterday or the day before, Stock declined by 0.28%. Now, that doesn't mean. That doesn't mean that Levi's is done. I'm just saying in comparison, that's 17.28% less.

[Josh]

What it does mean is that they're not having a big jump, right? They're not having a huge drop, like a big opposite comparison. But it's not jumping like American Eagle did.

[Gerald Morgan]

No, no. How much you want to comment? How much do you want to bet they blame this on racism when it doesn't work, right?

[Steven Crowder]

It's like you put a pretty white girl in an ad and all Of a sudden, it flies. You put a. And I don't think Beyonce's ugly. I just. It's not my type. Fine, whatever. You know, put a pretty black girl in an ad and it doesn't work. And it's like, well, no, it's just. It's a stupid ad.

[Gerald Morgan]

Yeah. You want to just pick one? How about one is in their twenties and one is in their forties or fifties, however old Beyonce is.

[Steven Crowder]

And it's not the authenticity part.

[Gerald Morgan]

How about that? How about the target market for American Eagle or Levi's typically isn't Beyonce and. Or Jay Z album purchases. Like, there's some crossover, but I buy Levi's. There's nothing wrong with Levi's.

[Josh]

They got a nice. They got a nice wide seat.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, there you go.

[Gerald Morgan]

But if they go the woke route and go, oh, it's because of. It's because of racism, guess what? You're going to see another Bud Light. Now, this is nowhere near as bad as the rock bottom that I'm about to. Every now and then, we introduce you to new, whether they're exclusive because of my club undercover, or just something that a lot of people haven't caught. Jim Acosta, he was at cnn. He's not now. And we see this a lot. Yeah, we see this a lot. Where they go online and they can't compete in the online space. Right. Without the budget, without the marketing, without this fake aura of success, they crash and burn. And then when they don't have advisors and they don't have people who sort of act as filters, you get to see really who they are and what kind of ideas they bring to the table. Back to Jim Acosta. What did Jim Acosta think was a good idea? And what I'm about to tell you is a real thing. Jim Acosta interviewed an AI version of Joaquin Oliver, a kid who was murdered in Parkland, Florida, at a school shooting and thought this was going to go over well. So this right now, it only has 5,900 views, like 100 comments, has 301 likes, 708 dislikes. Here is Jim Acosta, and let's just do away with this idea. Like, oh, both sides politicize it. No, no. Can you name me a single conservative Republican ever who interviewed a dead person through AI to try and push for constitutional carry? The left has no shame whatsoever. So here's Jim Acosta interviewing an AI version of a child now grown up through AI who was killed in Parkland, Florida, in order to push a gun control agenda. It's as Bad as you think.

[Jim Acosta]

Today is August 4th. That happens to be the birthday of my first guest. Joaquin Oliver died in the Parkland school shooting in Florida back in 2018. But his parents, Manuel and Patricia, have created an AI version of their son to deliver a powerful message on gun violence. Many asked me if I'd like to be the first reporter to have the chance to interview Joaquin. Joaquin, it's Jim Acosta. I was wondering if you could tell me what happened to you.

[AI Joaquin Oliver]

I appreciate your curiosity. I was taken from this world too soon due to gun violence. While at school, it's important to talk about these issues so we can create a safer future for everyone. What would you like to know more about, Joaquin?

[Jim Acosta]

I would like to know what your solution would be for gun violence.

[AI Joaquin Oliver]

Great question. I believe in a mix of stronger gun control laws, mental health support, and community engagement. We need to create safe spaces for conversations and connections, making sure everyone feels seen and heard. It's about building a culture of kindness and understanding. What do you think about that?

[Jim Acosta]

I think that's a great idea.

[Josh]

Joaquin, what do you think about punctuation?

[Gerald Morgan]

Now, of course, I know you are like many people who believed it to be tasteless, especially after Costa interviewed the shooter who turned out to be a hologram of Tupac. So this seems to be. Yeah, Tupac, it's. And then the following segment was him interviewing tranny senior wences. The point is he's just doing this on a shoestring budget.

[Steven Crowder]

Free surgery, pre surgery.

[Gerald Morgan]

Like, here's the thing, too. When people talk about Alex Jones and they talk about Sandy Hook and all like, there is truth to the. If the parents decided that this was a good idea, these are people who are using the death of their child to politicize this whole issue and to make horrible points, by the way, in a very, very uncomfortable way. This is the left. They're okay doing this. Don't ever let them say that you're standing on the graves of children. Because he's literally interviewing a. Well, not would be a dead child grown up in the form of the creepiest AI that you can imagine. And the left thinks that this is going to convince you to give up your firearms. By the way, he made the interview even more awkward. It goes on and gets worse.

[Jim Acosta]

Guac. I want to know what your favorite basketball team is.

[AI Joaquin Oliver]

I'd probably go with the Miami Heat. They have such a passionate fan base and an exciting place.

[Steven Crowder]

How about you?

[AI Joaquin Oliver]

Do you have a favorite basketball player?

[Jim Acosta]

Oh, yeah. I definitely like LeBron James.

[Gerald Morgan]

Of course you do.

[Josh]

You like, like him.

[AI Joaquin Oliver]

LeBron is incredible. His skills on the court and his leadership off it are truly inspiring. He's made such a huge impact in the game and beyond.

[Josh]

People talk.

[Gerald Morgan]

Definitely. Whenever.

[Jim Acosta]

Whenever LeBron is playing, I always have to watch him.

[AI Joaquin Oliver]

What about you?

[Gerald Morgan]

Right?

[AI Joaquin Oliver]

You have a favorite movie, 82 games a year.

[Gerald Morgan]

You watch favorite show.

[Jim Acosta]

Oh, I'm a big Star wars fan, for sure.

[AI Joaquin Oliver]

Do you have a favorite character?

[Jim Acosta]

Oh, it's got to be Luke Skywalker. I love Luke Skywalker. What about you?

[AI Joaquin Oliver]

Luke Skywalker is a classic hero. His journey from a farm boy to a Jedi is so inspiring. I'd probably say Yoda is one of my favorites too. What do you love most about Luke?

[Jim Acosta]

I like that Luke became the hero. He came from a very small planet, and he eventually became a Jedi and saved the day.

[Gerald Morgan]

Now, either Jim Acosta knows nothing about basketball or media and is pandering, just picking the first. Like, would you like basket? Yeah, I like LeBron. What do you like to Star Wars? Who do you like? Luke Skywalker. Either he's just pandering, or he is the most boring, clueless human being alive. I wish I was dead when I was watching this and showing that AI is becoming more and more lifelike. After the interview, Joaquin AI killed himself. So that is how this whole thing ended. And you would think, look, we try things sometimes here. We're like, ah, okay, that didn't work. So you'd think that Jim Acosta would go like, this is really uncomfortable. This has gone poorly. And you know what? We'll get him next time. But instead, he decided to continue. And this is why the left loses, because you can see that he's actually earnest here. He talked with Joaquim's father and actually remarked how lifelike what you just saw, the AI how. How authentic it felt.

[Jim Acosta]

I have to say, I'm kind of speechless as to the technology there. I mean, it was so insightful, and I really felt like I was speaking with Joaquin. It's just a beautiful thing.

[Josh]

You know him, you knew him. Because to me, that didn't sound like anybody in particular. It sounded like an AI bot who knew where Joaquin live. Florida. And said, oh, Miami Heat. And then knew some facts about Star wars because it's on the Internet.

[Gerald Morgan]

Why would you say that about A.I. josh, do you have opinions on A.I. as well? Gerald? Michael Jordan played basketball. He was good. Has best career statistics. Wayne Gretzky. Insightful, super weird insightful. I like the Miami heat. I like LeBron, Luke Skywalker. We should ban guns. That's what this whole thing is using effectively, an animated corpse. This is why the left loses. Guys, please. Jim Acosta, please keep doing this. And you know what? Welcome to the show. I would gladly have you on just. We're not going to just have. We're not going to just go. Just to defend this. I just want you, Mr. Acosta, to pitch to me. Treat it like it's idiot. Tank why this was a good idea and what you hoped to achieve.

[Josh]

And also what are your plans for the future? Who else will you interview?

[Gerald Morgan]

No one can tell the future. That's the beauty of life, Josh. None of us have a crystal ball. Gerald, what are your plans for tomorrow?

[Josh]

Thanks, Steven Groker.

[Steven Crowder]

This is such a weird thing because I've seen this technology used in other ways that are actually better. Staying better. Well, not necessarily better. There's not a whole lot better that you can do with it.

[Gerald Morgan]

But I think anything is better. Bring out Megan would be better.

[Josh]

That letter that Gerald wrote to that gay camp was great, actually.

[Steven Crowder]

That's true. That worked out.

[Gerald Morgan]

Don't forget our slogan. Don't tell the grownups.

[Josh]

I really felt like it was Gerald.

[Steven Crowder]

No, but my whole point is the thing that freaks me out the most about this, I've seen this before, so it doesn't freak me out as much. It's weird. Whatever, I get it. It's uncomfortable for sure. Did he even have those views or is this just something that you plugged into him? I know that people are probably like, duh, he probably didn't. But for me that's the most offensive part. Yeah, this person, you're using this person to maybe say stuff they would never even actually say or have ideas they never even actually had. So it's not even authentic.

[Gerald Morgan]

Well, the real issue here is the gaslighting from the left. So whenever there's a mass shooting, right? And you've heard me talk about this where I say, I wish I could just come out and say, hey, my heart goes out to the families of those affected. Thoughts and prayers, of course. And it's a time for mourning. But I can't do it because before the bodies assume room temperature, they are pushing for gun control. And then they try and accuse you of politicizing when you go, no, hold on a second. 94% of mass shootings occur in gun free zones. No, wait, hold on a second. 500,000 to 3 million defensive uses of firearms every year. It's not even remotely close. When you compare, compare it in a ratio to homicide. Hold on. We need to be honest about it, they go, why are you politicizing us? Why don't you care about the dead children? This is the. When they say both sides politicize, it genuinely. Come in. Can you think of anything this egregious from anyone on the right as far as interviewing an AI version of a dead child to push an agenda? And that's not rhetoric. If there is, I'd like to know so that I can mock that person and as well. And for those of you still wondering. Yeah, Josh, I was like, can you.

[Josh]

Imagine if somebody from the right had taken Lake and Riley.

[Gerald Morgan]

Yeah.

[Josh]

And put her in an AI generator to push. To push deportations and immigration policies?

[Gerald Morgan]

Right.

[Josh]

It'd be sickening.

[Gerald Morgan]

Of course, you can deepfake a politician saying something egregious, but they can defend themselves. Yeah.

[Josh]

Somebody. Yes. Especially politicians. You're up, dude. You're up for grabs. You put yourself out there as a politician, you are allowed to be made fun of. Yadda, yadda. I got it. What? Just somebody like that? Just a kid killed in a school shooting.

[Gerald Morgan]

And then we're graded as less accurate by whatever that media watchdog thing. Because we have jokes. They say ad hominem reduces your accuracy. Well, we provide actual references, and we never would. Actually. That's not true. I absolutely would interview an AI dead person if I thought it would be funny enough. I actually think we need to interview the AI version of the dead pedophile that Kyle Rittenhouse shot. Rosenbaum, let's input that. You know what? We're gonna do that tomorrow.

[Josh]

Yeah, but he's a piece of crap.

[Gerald Morgan]

Yeah, I know.

[Josh]

But pedophiles are also not off limits.

[Gerald Morgan]

No, they're not. No matter whether they're alive or dead. But Jim Acosta. Thank you for the idea. We're just gonna take it and make it, you know, good. And if people are wondering as to why Jim Acosta would do this, keep in mind this is a guy who was at CNN who tried to present himself as objective. CNN tried to present him as objective. And we've always known that he was just another leftist media hack, but now we get to see it in real time online, without the filters.

[Jim Acosta]

I've been sort of trying to shout this from the rooftops or wherever anybody will listen to me. The end of a bar in Kansas City, whatever.

[Josh]

Not listening there.

[Steven Crowder]

No.

[Jim Acosta]

The President of the United States is a danger to this country.

[Gerald Morgan]

Stop.

[Jim Acosta]

I've got to work on my set. Behind me is one of the issues.

[Gerald Morgan]

Well, got to work on more charm of Substack, Jim, I'd love to see.

[Jim Acosta]

See PBS and npr. Sort of be too big to fail in this country and sort of be like the BBC or be like what we see with Canadian broadcasting. Because Trump is not going to change his ways when he gets back in the Oval Office. He's going to continue to say things that need to be fact checked. And you can't have the news industry worrying about this sort of stuff when.

[Gerald Morgan]

They'Re just sitting in their jobs.

[Josh]

Well, if some bend the knee, others.

[Gerald Morgan]

Have to stand up straighter. Well, you know a lot about bending the knee also, by the way, remember that is Brian Stelter's man cave. Bring that back up. As a stealth, he. He willingly broadcasts from a room that looks like your grandmother's bathroom where the toilet seat would be that soft vinyl that feels like you're sitting on someone else's butt cheek.

[Josh]

Yeah, with a carpet floor.

[Gerald Morgan]

The carpet floor. And like cracks in the vinyl because someone clearly missed and it scrapes you. Yeah, that's all right.

[Steven Crowder]

He's literally the only person you can put in a split screen with Jim Acosta. That makes it worse.

[Gerald Morgan]

It's true.

[Steven Crowder]

It's unbelievable.

[Gerald Morgan]

Think about this for a second. And by the way, the best way to follow us here is download the Rumble app. Follow me on there. You'll know when we are live. We're live, of course, 11am Weekdays every weekday. But that's the best way to stay in touch. Don't have to depend on some kind of algorithm there at YouTube or Meta. Think about Jim Acosta. Do you honestly think now that you see him and you'll see the same thing with. You'll see the same thing with Colbert. You'll see the same thing with a lot of these actors and comedians who start their own podcasts afterward. Do you think he got that job because he was best or same thing with Brian Stelter. Have you looked at that guy's resume? It doesn't exist. You wonder how they got these jobs. Now you may not like me, you may not like anyone here. Let's just use Andrew Wilson as an example who's been here. You may hate him, but he's out there debating people. He's taking on all comers, anyone who will sitting down. He's getting the reps and people here have had to get up on stage in any down USA for thousands of dates to see if we can make it work, to make people laugh, cut our teeth at places like for me FOX News at one point was HLN CNN doing all this Content online. What is Jim. Do you think Jim Acosta has ever actually debated anyone on a level playing field? Do you think he's ever actually had to win over a crowd, Win over a crowd who doesn't know who he is? Do you think he's ever actually had to provide references or be accountable to his audience? These people are not selected even remotely because of their capabilities. And you see that when they go online and the audience, the free market can dictate. And guess what? These people are never chosen. They're never chosen. And so, like a feminist who finds themselves to be 55 years old and a crazy cat lady, you have these former broadcasters, and now they have a decision to make. Well, wait a second. Was I never really qualified? Was I never really a good journalist? Was I never really any good? Or is it everyone else's fault? Let's blame Trump. Let's blame new media. Let's control it, let's censor it. Let's have a department of misinformation. Even though we don't provide any references and our competitors do, let's blame everyone else, because me, Jim Acosta, Brian Stelter, we must be good. That's the world they live in. Same thing with Stephen Colbert. Stephen Colbert could take 5 million instead of 15 million and 100 employees instead of 200 employees. He knows he can't make it work. He will never say, yeah, the numbers created because it was awful. He will blame it on you. Levi's. If they don't do well, we'll not blame it on their tone deaf marking. That's relatable to no one outside of the Folsom Street Fair. They're gonna blame it on you. That's what the left does. They blame it on. They blame their own failures on you.

[Josh]

Wait, that was Jim Acosta and Brian Stelter right there.

[Gerald Morgan]

Yes.

[Josh]

Oh, I thought that was like, AI created a podcast with Jason Alexander and George Clooney.

[Gerald Morgan]

Yes, exactly. Yes. If George Clooney, you know, it's like in a parallel universe where he was gross. Yeah. AI, Brian Stelter. How. How does that guy get a job? Can someone answer me this? Someone needs to do. What dirt does he have on somebody? He's back. And by the way, it's not jealousy. Bigger audience make more than Brian Stelter. I mean, I don't know, they may pay him a ton of money. I have no idea. Because he has a black male panic button. How? We've often asked these questions and we've never had answers. At least now you're starting to get an answer when you see these people unfiltered online, hey, go ahead, do it on your own. Let the chips fall where they may. Speaking of abysmal failure and my question for you is what constitutes treason? That term is thrown around a whole lot. I do think that when you take an oath to represent citizens of this country, you must represent first and foremost the citizens of this country. And to be their representative, you must first and foremost be a citizen of this country and exclusively this country. One could argue so Illinois Congress bitch Delia Ramirez said this in a conference with progressive legislators in Mexico City. She flat out said her loyalty is with Guatemala first. Is that show said Donald Trump in trading her back to her country's leadership. That's yeah, there you.

[Josh]

The Sun God is pleased.

[Gerald Morgan]

It's a pocket fat show. Why are you proud? Why are you Guatemalan first? Let me just say this. I know I'm not supposed to objectively, Guatemala sucks. It sucks. The United States is better. That's why you're here. But to say you're Guatemalan first, that's a problem. Just to give you an idea, members of Congress, they take this oath when they are sworn in. Reference is available link in the description I do solemnly swear or affirm that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic. That I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same. That I take this obligation freely without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion. So you will protect it against any foreign or domestic threats, and that you will pledge allegiance to the does that, does it sound like you're pledging allegiance to the United States? When I'm when you say I'm first Guatemalan for those who are listening on audio and didn't see the subtitles, she doubled down, by the way, on X and said honoring my Guatemalan ancestry only strengthens my commitment to America. What?

[Steven Crowder]

How?

[Gerald Morgan]

What? Cheating on my husband only makes it so I love my husband more. What? That's the opposite of making sense. My commitment to America, that is the truth I carry with me always. It is a truth that many Americans carry with them. Nope. Anyone who denies our claim in this country simply because we dare to honor our diverse heritage and immigrant roots only exposes how fragile and small minded their own idea of America really is. Yes, it's fragile and small minded to think that people in America are Americans. That you're American first. She didn't just say, hey, my background is Guatemalan. Of course no one has a problem with that.

[Josh]

You can be proud of where you're from. And I'll also go as far as say this. You can hold that truth with you as an American.

[Gerald Morgan]

Sure.

[Josh]

You're allowed to do that, but you're not just an American.

[Gerald Morgan]

Well, no.

[Josh]

To say you're a congresswoman.

[Gerald Morgan]

Yeah. And when you say I'm Guatemalan first, for example, Marco Rubio said, my parents came from Cuba, they came from communism, they fled it, and they came to the greatest country in the world and they were grateful to be here. There are plenty of people who come from a family of immigrants, and they're grateful to be here. But right now, at this moment in time to say, I represent the people of America, but I am Guatemalan first. Well, that sounds to me like you're going to have conflicting interests. Yes.

[Steven Crowder]

And put any country in there. And I know a lot of people online are asking for this one. If you say you're Israel first.

[Gerald Morgan]

Yes.

[Steven Crowder]

If you say you're British first, Canadian first.

[Gerald Morgan]

I don't care.

[Steven Crowder]

Insert country here. We don't have a congressperson anymore. We have somebody who's on the way out.

[Gerald Morgan]

Right. And again, once again, I renounce my Canadian citizenship. I have many times. I don't know how to officially do it, but it was automatically granted to me becoming an honest French Canadian. But I think Canada is a silly place where dreams go to die and it's infected with homosexuals. So who is Ramirez? Well, let me also tell you, this is maybe why this woman doesn't fully understand it. So she was elected at the age of 35. This is a woman who has never worked in the private sector her entire adult life. She has never worked in the private sector. I also think that you should have to work in the private sector before you become a representative. Why? How would you know how to represent working Americans if you've never been. Her husband is a dreamer, by the way, and most of her campaign donors are unions, government workers, and, of course, surprise, surprise, Ms. Guatemala first, which is just a silly thing to say because it's such a silly, crappy, shithole country. That's okay, we can say it now. It's a shithole country compared to, I don't know, Delaware, Rhode island, for crying out loud. Even Arkansas. I don't care. It's worse than every state. So no surprise, Guatemala first representative here wants to defund ice. Ooh. No conflict of interest there.

[Josh]

It's time to escalate our fight back and our push back against this fascist government.

[Gerald Morgan]

That's right. It's time for us to reconsider What.

[Josh]

ICE is all about fighting the government.

[Gerald Morgan]

You know what? That actually gives me an idea. I would like to propose this. And of course, ICE is prioritizing dangerous threats, right? Violent criminals right now. But they will deport anyone who is here illegally if they run into them, as they should. We had Tom Holman on the show. Let's add one question when ICE is interrogating someone. Hey, do you think that America is the greatest? No, let's make it even simpler. Are you America first or are you Mexico first or Guatemala first or Honduras first? If anyone says it's not a trick question. If the answer is anything other than America first. Fast track, no more process needed. Gone. That means you, Ramirez. That means yes. Am I saying I think that Ramirez should at least be deported to Guatemala? I think that we should be benevolent and we should send her to the place with which she identifies. You know, the place was her first priority.

[Josh]

Yeah. She wants to make Guatemala better.

[Gerald Morgan]

There you go.

[Josh]

Hey, make Guatemala great again.

[Gerald Morgan]

There you go.

[Steven Crowder]

Great.

[Gerald Morgan]

A one way ticket to the nation with which you identify. We don't want you here. And just to be clear, it's not a race thing. Hey, if there's a. There's probably a Hispanic person right next to her who is grateful to be here. Maybe a Cuban American immigrant, maybe an Argentinian, maybe a Brazilian American immigrant who goes, I'm so glad to be here. This is the greatest country in the world. Great. Now do you have skills? Do you have some value that you can add to this country? Do you pay taxes? Okay, maybe you can stay. Oh, wait a second. You identify with the country. You left because there was an opportunity so that you could come here and browbeat Americans and then dictate policy so that we cannot deport pieces of crap like you. Gone, by the way, in case you were wondering. Yeah. She also endorsed Mamdani for mayor of New York City. So she is. So here's the problem. People who left Ireland, people who left Italy, you know, of course, Jews across Europe, the Polish folks who came, they came here and then they immediately were American. They came here because they were fleeing something, right? So if people came here at one point in time from a communist. Let's use Cuban Americans as an example. The single most. We've done a segment, the single most consistent conservative Republican voting bloc. Why? Because they fled communism. So they come here and go, I reject that. That's a very different immigrant than someone who tries to bring their communism and socialism over here. So she says Guatemala first and endorses a self described Socialist, Marxist, communist for mayor of a major American city. And then they wonder why you don't trust your institutions. Well, here's why. McCarthy was right. I think that there's a big red scare in our government. Why? Well, because you said you're Guatemala first and you endorsed a communist for mayor of New York City. This isn't a conspiracy. I'm seeing it happen right in front of my eyes. You know who else endorsed the communist? Elizabeth Warren. The most awkward, Karen personified human being who's ever walked the planet. Klip go.

[Drew]

Anyone who thinks that the role of.

[Gerald Morgan]

The mayor is to make life work better for working people should be here with Zoron government grocery store. What Zoran is saying is, I want people to be able to afford to live in New York City. That's what keeps a vibrant, vibrant city. That's what makes people want to live. Nobody disagrees with that, Senator. But raising taxes in order to do it, why is that the answer? Oh, dear. Are you worried that billionaires are going to go hungry? No, I'm worried that they're going to.

[Steven Crowder]

Leave and spend their money elsewhere.

[Gerald Morgan]

You know, they've threatened to do that over and over and they have. They left. I mean, here's the thing.

[Steven Crowder]

And Goldman Sachs, when they create new.

[Gerald Morgan]

Jobs, they do it in Dallas.

[Josh]

Blackstone won't build a new headquarters.

[Gerald Morgan]

Okay, so Elizabeth Warren, here's the thing. Just think about the problems that the left creates. And then their solution is more government. Like, let's just. Let's just go. Okay, My perspective. Elizabeth Warren Mumdani. Okay, all right. So, Elizabeth Warren Mumdani. It's create government grocery stores, right? It's socialize more programs, more affordable housing, even though it's never worked. Increase spending. Okay, Then increase taxes on billionaire. Well, not on increase taxes, period. Billionaires leave multimillionaires who employ people. They leave, right? They've seen a net population loss. Okay? This is the result of their problems. And then they want to create a law that punishes people for leaving New York City. Remember that. So create the problem that results in people leaving. Then use the iron fist of the government to prevent you from leaving. Well, they claim that they're for the working class Americans and they're the party of freedom. Okay, here's my solution. Don't do all the crap that forces people to leave in the first place. Just don't increase taxes. Just don't do government grocery stores. So don't create the problem. Me create the problem? Then forbid people from solving the problem for themselves in their Own personal lives. And then, of course, tell everyone that you're the party of freedom while you say, stay out of our bedroom. Whenever the left acts as though they care about freedom or the Constitution, you know they're lying. They only care about it as it relates to hard, hardcore drugs, abortion, or two homos getting married. That's it. They don't care about your freedoms. They want to take everything that you make to put it into a grocery store that doesn't work and then forbid you from leaving. No wonder this person who's Guatemala first loves it, because that's the kind of country she comes from. You know, an inferior country, but hey, sounds like Cuba. Yeah, it sounds like it.

[Josh]

Government stores can't leave.

[Gerald Morgan]

But these people, for some reason are different from Cuban Americans where they embrace the crap that they left. We. We don't want you here unless you abandon all of it. Then we don't want you here. You're going to bring it here. No, you're not welcome. But if you disagree with me, look, you can send your support or your criticisms to our district in Illinois. It's Illinois's third district. Call, ask her to clarify. Ramirez at 202-225-5701. That's Representative Ramirez. Guatemala first at 202-225-57010.

[Josh]

Okay, you should see her. Totally not gerrymandered district.

[Gerald Morgan]

Yes. Yeah.

[Steven Crowder]

Is it?

[Josh]

Yeah, dude, it's like. It's like a sliver. It does not look like a natural district at all. It looks like a very gerrymander.

[Gerald Morgan]

No, only the right.

[Josh]

Illinois has done only the right gerrymanders.

[Gerald Morgan]

Just like only sizes issues. Hey, have you seen my AI Dead child to push for gun control. Here's another error, though. Calling balls and strikes on the right. There we go. This one's pretty bad.

[Steven Crowder]

Just a lot of people off yesterday.

[Gerald Morgan]

Whoever is spearheading the messaging at the White House. Yeah. Shouldn't, shouldn't, shouldn't have a job anymore. So we talked about this yesterday, right? The declining support for Israel. Yeah. In particularly young Americans right now. That doesn't determine what is right. You know, policy can't just be dictated by polls, but it does determine how you navigate your messaging. And it seems as though those in this administration have said, well, yeah, we don't care because we want to reach that median Viewer which is 72 years old at Fox News. Let me give you this recent one. So on Monday, Axios released a DHS notice which apparently found that FEMA disaster relief could be denied to states who boycotted Israeli Companies. Now there's more to this story. There are a couple of twists here. So this is from the article. It says discriminatory, prohibited, boycott means refusing to deal, cutting commercial relations or otherwise limiting commercial relations, specifically with Israeli companies or with companies doing business in or with Israel or authorized by, licensed by. So very, very broad language. But this was found over and over. Israel, Israel, Israel, Israel, Israel. It seems like that that shouldn't be mentioned so much in any type of domestic policy different than I would have thought, especially one that determines how taxpayer dollars are spent for an emergency for American taxpayers. So this was found there by Axios, and by the way, all states, according to them, have to, at least in this paper, also commit to being circumcised by Gilbert Godfrey's ghost. That was just a little off the top.

[Steven Crowder]

Oh, geez.

[Gerald Morgan]

So that's gonna be recurring. Then there was a whole bunch of outrage, rightfully so. People going, what? And I agree, my position is Israel should have nothing to do with how we spend our disaster relief funds. Nothing whatsoever. I wouldn't even, I wouldn't deny disaster relief funds from someone who just happens to vote Democrat. Now, if you're talking about a sanctuary city that is harboring criminals and creating a hellscape for their citizens, that's different. This is a real problem. And can you guys, if you are a die hard supporter of Israel, let's say, and I think most people here would be considered Jewish shills along with being Nazis, depending on the day you support Israel in their war against Hamas. Do you also, don't you think it's pretty reasonable to also think that this is morally reprehensible? Comment below. I think that's a pretty sensible position and I think most people would agree with that. So the outrage took place and the DHS responded, denying the accusation. And I'll just sort of, just to tip you off, lying. So they said there is no FEMA requirement tied to Israel in any current nofo. DHS will enforce all anti discrimination laws and policies, including as it relates to the BDS movement, which is expressly grounded in anti Semitism. But here's the problem. You would think they're telling the truth because the current document that's available does not have that language in there regarding Israel. And so that's one of those things where sometimes these stories circulate and we go, oh, okay, all right, conspiracy theorists are just circulating something that's false. But the reason it's not there is because the DHS removed it after the outrage. They removed it and then Lied to you and said, that's not there. Yeah, but it was. Well, it's not there now. Yeah, but people were mad because it was. Voters are not there anymore. But it was.

[Steven Crowder]

We took it off an hour ago. What are you talking about?

[Gerald Morgan]

Yeah, exactly. This is really bad and certainly doesn't seem like swamp draining the quartering. Who is here in the lineup actually showed the old language and said, but it's literally on your website.

[Steven Crowder]

Yes.

[Gerald Morgan]

People pointed out it was literally on their website. To which the ghost of Gilbert Godfrey responded, son of a bitch. That was pretty much. Thank you, Gilbert. So why. I guess the question is why would they. We have to get to India here in a second. But why would they do this? Why would this be shoehorned in there? And how does this have anything to do with putting America first? Can anyone come up with any. In other words, when people say these people are bought and paid for, they're controlled. Okay, what's the counter argument against that? And I don't know that there is one for at least people in charge of messaging in this administration.

[Josh]

Yeah, definitely not.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, this was a mistake. And I don't. Look, let's just. There's an argument on the state.

[Gerald Morgan]

Right.

[Steven Crowder]

We covered this with Texas. They did something with one of the cities that wanted to boycott, specifically Israel. And we went into the details of that. But that's on a state level. It's a little bit different thing. You can maybe agree or disagree. I still disagree, but. But nonetheless, that's a different thing. The federal government now, if you're just basically saying, like, hey, we just don't want to do business with them because we don't support the war in Gaza. You may not be supported by other people who have different opinions, but you're not actively doing something to harm Americans.

[Gerald Morgan]

Right.

[Steven Crowder]

Denying them federal assistance in the aftermath of a tragic flood, earthquake, hurricane, whatever it may be, is actively hurting American citizens for their opinion.

[Josh]

Yeah, I would say it's anti America.

[Steven Crowder]

That's no place in this country ever. And to specifically list Israel is moronic. You should just. If you're going to do it, I don't think you should do it. If you're going to do it, though, just say any country in good standing with the United States of America to make sure that the optics are at least a little bit better. Even though it still.

[Josh]

I still want to agree with it. There's different things you can do. There's different funds you can hold back, you don't hold back. FEMA funds, you don't hold back emergency funds.

[Gerald Morgan]

No, absolutely. That's no people.

[Josh]

That's. That's people's lives. That's. Yes, yeah. Oh, you said all that. People, people have fought wars over their livelihoods.

[Gerald Morgan]

Well, here's something else too is this also makes it really hard. Like for example, when kids are vandalizing school grounds and blocking students at Columbia and harassing Jews. And we see, yeah, those people absolutely should be kicked off campus. And if they're here on a visa, they should be deported because they are disrupting Americans lives and they are committing crimes. Then you had people who said, yeah, well that's just because they're Jewish. This is just a Jewish conspiracy. This gives ammo to those people. I still think you shouldn't be able to vandalize public or private property on behalf of Hamas, a terrorist organization. That being said, you absolutely, you can hate Jews for all I care. And if you are in a hurricane zone, it should be taken into account. Zero. Zero. Yeah. I just. Sometimes I feel like there are people in this administration who really don't know what it is that you voted for who are so completely out of touch and they can't make many more missteps like this because it's gonna cost them. It's going to cost them a lot.

[Steven Crowder]

It's right on the heels of the whole whaling wall incident that we talked about yesterday. It's just like one step after another, guys. It's like, listen, I'm trying to find the common sense kind of place to interpret these things reasonably. You're making it very difficult right now. Very, very difficult. Stop with the Israel stuff. Like Israel is some special case that we have to always defend or base every decision on. I don't care if it's the most backwoods redneck racist a holes that you can find on a college campus at the University of Alabama saying the N.

[Gerald Morgan]

Words can't go to class.

[Steven Crowder]

They're getting kicked off too.

[Gerald Morgan]

It's the same thing. Yeah, of course they are.

[Steven Crowder]

Not that Israel is special. So stop acting like Israel is special. Otherwise we're gonna think maybe AIPAC is making some inroads. Maybe, you know, maybe some of these conspiracy theories over here about Mossad and Epstein and all this other stuff, maybe that rings a little bit more more true now. You're creating all of those things that you say are really bad and corrosive for our society. You're creating anti Semites. It's the same thing the left did with racism. Yeah, stop it.

[Gerald Morgan]

Yeah, well, I'll say this, just I think there Is an equivalency here, Representative Ramirez. I'm Guatemala first. Gone. If you're representative here and you say, well, Israel first and foremost, gone. Yes, gone. That's it. Okay.

[Josh]

This isn't your welcome, Matt.

[Gerald Morgan]

No, no, no.

[Josh]

It's the greatest country on Earth.

[Gerald Morgan]

That's it.

[Josh]

It's not your welcome, Matt. It's not your place to use.

[Gerald Morgan]

It's the greatest country on Earth. And if you are so blessed to be an ally who we treat well, benevolently, we'll look out for you after Americans are taken care of first, and that includes Israel. I don't know why this is hard for people in this administration. And I will say that I do think that they have conflicting interests. I do think. And the Mossad thing with Epstein is not necessarily even a conspiracy. Now, it doesn't mean only Mossad if I say, of course all governments engage in espionage. You guys, The French are some of the worst historically and still up to this day.

[Steven Crowder]

And smelly.

[Gerald Morgan]

Yes, smelly. And I mean for credit.

[Josh]

Spies.

[Gerald Morgan]

I don't know why they don't use running water. Even the Romans had aqueducts. French.

[Josh]

But they're not great spies. Who is the spy in here? I don't know. Maybe it is the other guy.

[Gerald Morgan]

Yes. Don't look at me. We're kind of looking at you. Oh, I figure. All right, well, here's one we can all agree with.

[Steven Crowder]

This is gonna piss us off even more.

[Gerald Morgan]

India sucks. And here's the thing. I know that often we'll get a lot of views in India. If I talk about Modi or someone who's done something relatively well there because they sort of have been presenting as an ally, well, it turns out that that was largely fraudulent. And on a personal level, as far as immigrant groups, Indian Americans are among my least favorite. Just as far as the culture, as far as assimilation, as far as the leering, as far as full grown men holding hands. I think it's weird and it's just not really my jam, but if you come here in your. America first. Okay, I understand that. However, India has been playing both sides on this one. So you've probably heard this quite a bit. And you hear it increasingly from people in tech, which is kind of worrisome, that India is the future, despite the fact that half their civilization lives in actual poop. They're the future.

[Josh]

I thought you'd say the past.

[Gerald Morgan]

Yeah, they're our great ally. And they're certainly our next greatest, most significant ally. You've heard all this, And I really believe that the future of the 21st.

[Steven Crowder]

Century is going to be determined by the strength of the United States India Partnership.

[Gerald Morgan]

I'm pleased to report that with today's announcements, the friendship between the United States and India is the strongest I believe it's ever been. I think our relationship is the best it's ever been between two leaders of the two countries. Tell you we're going to have a fantastic relationship and, and it'll make both countries much stronger. The President thinks America first, but he does not think America only or America exclusively. He's going to take care of his allies. He's going to make sure he takes care of India, who he deeply, deeply admires and respects. The future of American innovation, the key driver of our economy, will depend on our immigration policies with India. But what if I told you that all of that was based on a lie? And India as a nation, as a government, and by the way, as a people, by and large, has been dishonest. They've been dishonest economically. They've betrayed us by engaging in trade and business with our enemies. And they're doing so while telling us that, no, no, no, no, no, no. We are friends. We are your best friend, and none of it is true. This brings us to this week's eye on India. What's that smell? All right, so let me give you the what references available. So last week Trump announced he would hit India with a 25% tariff. Okay, good. Now let me give you the why. And a follow up Monday, President Trump announced even tougher measures, potentially greater tariffs. And he explained on truth. He said India is not only buying massive amounts of Russian oil, they are then for much of the oil purchased, selling it in the open market for big profits. They don't care how many people in Ukraine are being killed by the Russian war machine. Because of this, I will be substantially raising the tariff paid by India to the usa. Better than India, some people say. By some, I mean everyone. Thank you for your attention to this matter, President djt. And it's true, by the way. Two people die by train every hour in India. I just think that's an interesting fact when people say all cultures are the same. Yes. Trains kill two people in India each hour. Think about that. Animals avoid giant, loud, screaming metal objects. It's on a track. You have to go to it.

[Josh]

Yeah, it's on. It can't go anywhere else.

[Steven Crowder]

Derailments.

[Gerald Morgan]

And I'm not saying it's the only thing wrong with India. It's just a big one. It's just one more segment 20, 25 there, too. How are you people getting killed by. And it's just because it's an entirely different culture. It's true. They've been engaging in trade with our enemies while trying to take advantage of Americans. While trying to take advantage not only of Americans themselves, but American businesses. And I'm talking about the scam, the scam deals that happen. I don't know how almost all of the telemarketing scams that rob old people of their Social Security checks comes from one country, which would seem like it's not a very empathetic people, which would seem like maybe there's some kind of a moral vacuum in India. Seems like Hinduism isn't filling that. Also, American businesses are being exploited and our government is being exploited at the same time. They're doing a lot of stuff behind our back. For example, acting as a loophole for China to avoid tariffs and buying Russian oil. Basically, India is taking advantage of the United States gleefully. And President Trump's the only one doing anything about it. It's fine because he lived. He was not one of the two people per hour. By the way, there's a study that shows in some regions, 50% of the train deaths are from selfie videos.

[Josh]

So if two people die by train every hour, that guy, not one of them. How many people are injured by train, Brian?

[Gerald Morgan]

Exactly. And how many of them gang rape water monitor lizards?

[Josh]

At least. At least four.

[Gerald Morgan]

All cultures are the same. If an American wanted to gang rape a water monitor lizard, I'm just using this as an example to show you that cultures are different. If an American wanted to gang rape a water monitor lizard, this happened in India, by the way, There would be multiple steps that frankly, would probably act as a barrier to entry. First off, you'd have to find a group large enough of other people who too wanted to gang rape a water monitor lizard.

[Josh]

What's that group chat look like?

[Gerald Morgan]

Yeah, it must be pretty tough. You don't want that signal leaked. And then they would have to. Of course, if they assume you find a posse of water monitor lizard rape enthusiasts large enough, you would then have to find a water monitor lizard. And you would then have to make sure that you could get this water monitor lizard isolated, because any witness in the United States would of course say, this is the most disgusting thing I've ever seen in my life. They didn't even have to do that in India. They pretty much did it in plain view. Eight people said, do you want to rape the lizard? And seven other people said, yes, I Don't think they just did it. They just went to town in front of people like, that's right. Let's put her back into it. It's just not the same kind of a culture. It's something that when anyone says they eat, pray, love. And India is a very spiritual place, you know, that that person has lived an asshole's life because it is devoid of any spiritual moral ethics whatsoever. And you know what? Let's be honest. A lot of their food is. Is overrated crap. Some of it's good. Some of it's good. Some of it's overrated crap. As seen by our latest Harvest right taste test. Okay, for today's test, meal A will be harvest right freeze dried fruit salad. And for meal B, we have Punjabi street banana. It's right there to your right, Gerald. Wow. That.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, it's been the Indian street buy everything freeze sticks can poke.

[Gerald Morgan]

Yes, they can. You almost ended up as a Gerald kebab.

[Steven Crowder]

I did actually have a lot of blood.

[Gerald Morgan]

Yeah, but you look good as a kebab. It's a good look for you.

[Steven Crowder]

There's going to be a surge of Indian orders. You should make it machines after this.

[Gerald Morgan]

Gerald Morgan has good kebabs. Now the blood. Let me go through this economically and as far as governments, as far as businesses, and as far as you, just the average American citizen, how you are screwed on this raw deal by India playing like they are an ally. So some key facts for you. Key fact number one, it's true. India is buying a massive amount of Russian oil. Yeah. Let's personalize this. Your best friend, you find out, is supporting your worst enemy. Your best friend is buying meals and, I don't know, making a down payment on the house of the guy who your wife cheated on you with. Right? Like India. You're a friend. No, no, no, you're not a friend. Why? Cuz you're buying huge amounts of oil from someone who is not an ally. And the left should be on board with this because they hate Russia more than anything. So to give you an idea, 0.2% in pre invasion, sorry India of crude imports came from Russia. Now that's 40 to 50%. Look at that frickin graph of India's crude imports. They're coming from Russia. That's $50 billion in new annual income for Russia. And by the way, even some of that crude, it comes through some US sanctioned. They've already been sanctioned tankers, to be clear. So it's not like this isn't on our radar. To be clear. They know what they're doing. They could be engaging in trade honestly with the United States. They're not. They're supporting an enemy. And for Donald Trump, and this is the thing, someone who believes in peace through strength, but he wants to pull economic levers before we ever have to send troops into Russia. That becomes really hard to do if you're getting undercut by your supposed greatest ally. Think about that. In other words, you can't squeeze Russia if India decides. Oh no, we'll pick up the slack to the tune of 50% of our crude imports. And by the way, you can't trust those Russians any further than you can throw them as seen here. Toot toot. I am trained. It.
