Episode Overview

Steven Crowder and his panel tackle a mix of breaking political headlines, military news, anti-Trump narratives, and social controversies, using their characteristic irreverent and unfiltered style. The flagship topic explores whether President Trump’s military action against Iran spells doom for his presidency and the broader MAGA movement. Along the way, the crew digress into election analysis, Black Lives Matter scandals, viral social media rants, and a pointed critique of white suburban liberal women and left-wing double standards.

Key Topics and Discussion Points

1. Framing the Iran Conflict and Trump's Fate

• Opening Claim: Crowder argues that claims Trump’s Iran intervention will “fracture the base” and destroy MAGA are overblown. He challenges the pessimists to judge after three months of military operations, saying extended involvement would be a fair reason to criticize Trump.

  • Quote – Steven Crowder (00:19):
    "I'm going to stake my claim here. Three months. Okay, how about that?...If the main military operations go beyond three months, come right back and tell me, told you so."

• Historical Context: Provides polling comparisons showing public support for past short-term military campaigns (Granada, Panama, Desert Storm).

  • Quote – Steven Crowder (25:09):
    "Not everything needs to be compared to Iraq because it's very often the least legitimate comparison. But I will stake my claim right here. Three months."

• Polling Data: Emphasizes that support for military action drops if people believe it will be a long-term conflict, but remains high if it is short and decisive:

  • 76% approval if lasting days/weeks; approval drops as expected duration increases.
    • Quote – Steven Crowder (27:24):
      "If the conflict lasts days or weeks, 76% approval, massive. Now let's be clear. That has been the stated goal of this administration."

2. Media, Leftist Narratives & Anti-Trump Messaging

• Critique of Democratic Messaging: The show features clips and soundbites from liberal commentators, including a viral video from a military wife (Kendall Brown) condemning Trump, which Crowder and the panel lampoon at length.

  • Quote – Guest Speaker (16:29):
    "Have y'all picked out your son's coffins yet? No, seriously... Have you stood in the showroom and run your hand over the smooth wood trying to decide if cherry or oak will look better when it's covered by a flag?"
  • Crowder's Response (17:28):
    "Maybe redwood feet."

• Crowder’s Warning: Urges MAGA conservatives not to be swayed by “moderate” leftist attempts to drive wedges between factions—claiming these movements are pro-LGBTQ, pro-abortion, anti-Second Amendment, and fundamentally hostile to the MAGA agenda.

  • Quote – Steven Crowder (19:54):
    "Make no mistake, someone like that is the enemy if you want to preserve this country."

3. Black Lives Matter Scandals

  • Cited Cases: Patrice Cullors ($6M mansion), Tashella Cherie Amore Dickerson ($3.15M theft), Sir Major Page ($500K fraud), Jara Saleem (UK, $30K theft).
  • Quote – Steven Crowder (11:27):
    "Convicted of stealing $500,000 from donors through fake Black Lives Matter's Atlanta GoFundMe…Remember, even Breonna Taylor's mother referred to Black Lives Matter as a fraud, a fraudulent organization."

• Mockery of BLM Spokespeople: Panelists crack jokes about names and appearance of certain BLM activists, infusing their coverage with biting, politically incorrect humor.

  • Ken Paxton headed to a runoff with Cornyn, likely to win.
  • Jasmine Crockett lost to Talarico; attributes defeat to “Republican cheating.”
  • Quote – Steven Crowder (49:35): "Because you're a retard. Is that the point, by the way? None of that makes sense…you can't just go out and make a claim with no substantiation whatsoever."

Timestamps:

• Texas elections — 45:08–50:22

5. Body Cameras: Then and Now

• Democratic Flip-Flop: Crowder's crew skewers Democrats for previously insisting that mandatory police body cameras would reduce police brutality, only to now argue that body cams are ineffective or even problematic.

  • Historical soundbites: Obama, Kamala Harris, others previously calling for body cams as a solution.
  • Quote – Steven Crowder (55:26):
    "We agreed...it was about transparency. ...Body cameras...haven't changed the statistics, which means it's worked perfectly, which means that with the cameras on...you still get the same number of interactions and cases of police brutality."

• Findings: Academic study cited — body cams have "no statistically significant effect on decreasing police use of force."

• Panel’s Conclusion: Body cams reveal that many citizen–police altercations are brought on by suspect behavior, not “systemic, unprovoked brutality.”

  • Quote – Nick DePalo (60:44):
    "I'll tell you what it did to this body. It broke the biggest lie, the biggest myth in the world, that black people are afraid of cops."

• Body cam flip-flop – 53:59–62:41

6. Military Progress & Transparency in Iran

• Military Updates:

  • Pete Hegseth clip detailing the collapse of the Iranian military command, loss of Iranian navy/air force, and US-Israeli air supremacy.
  • Quote – Pete Hegseth (34:58): "Iran's senior leaders are dead. The so called governing council that might have selected a successor. Dead, missing or cowering in bunkers..."
  • Daily missile and drone strike rates rapidly decline, highlighting success of the campaign.

• Propaganda/Reputation Management:

  • Administration drops propaganda leaflets in Iran, aiming to break enemy morale.
  • Panel underscores importance of not just military might but also psychological dominance.

• Transparency:

  • Crowder draws the line between wanting transparency and the necessity of operational secrecy.
  • Quote – Steven Crowder (33:16):
    "I do accept that militarily there will be information that cannot be given to me. Do you agree with that or do you think that makes someone a lackey or a patsy or a bootlicker?"

Timestamps:

• Iran war status & Hegseth’s summary — 34:58–39:45

---

7. MAGA Unity vs. Left-Wing Fatalism

• Crowder's Challenge: He will revisit his own "three months" prediction, holding himself to account unlike those pushing "all is lost" midterm fatalism.
  • Quote – Steven Crowder (42:00):
    "The people telling you that all is lost and that you shouldn't show up for midterms and that you should impeach Donald Trump, they hold themselves to no accountability. So I had to pick something arbitrary. You can hold me to it."

---

Notable Quotes and Moments

Crowder stakes his credibility:

• "Three months. At three months in of this war, if things have not been scaled back, the main, the primary military operations...then guess what, you can...the people saying, ah, this is why we'll lose the midterms. Okay?" — Steven Crowder (24:25)

Joking about body cams:

• "Body cams reveal that many altercations are brought on by suspect behavior…It broke the biggest myth in the world, that black people are afraid of cops.” — Nick DePalo (60:44)

Voting and unity in MAGA:

• "If you stand shoulder to shoulder with moderates like that, just be careful who you stand with — because these people want to try and present you with this idea of moderation. But make no mistake, someone like that is the enemy if you want to preserve this country.” — Steven Crowder (19:54)

Summary of military progress:

• "Iran's senior leaders are dead. The so called governing council...dead, missing or cowering in bunkers…The Iranian air force is no more. The Iranian navy rests at the bottom of the Persian Gulf...destroyed. Pick your adjective." — Pete Hegseth (34:58)

---

Conclusion & Takeaways

• Crowder’s central thesis: Trump’s Iran operation is not a repeat of Iraq, and claims of a doomed presidency are premature. The real test will be whether operations last beyond a few months.
• Message to the base: Don’t fall for left-wing attempts to peel off “moderates”; stay unified, skeptical, and pragmatic.
• Cultural commentary: Crowder and his team blend political analysis, current events, ridicule of foes, and pop culture references — keeping a consistent “politically incorrect” tone.
• Final challenge: Crowder invites listeners to hold him accountable to his three-month prediction — presenting himself as more transparent than Trump’s critics.

Transcript

[Steven Crowder]

All right, welcome. What? You know, whoop dee doo. No, I'm glad I'm saying whoopi doo. Me, not you. I'm happy to see you, but I get. You see me every day. You're like this guy again. Look, I know you probably have Iran fatigue. Do you say Iran or do you say Iran? Doesn't matter because it's not as important of a country as the United States. But I know you have Iran fatigue. Look, I'm going to stake my claim here. Three months. Okay, how about that? When people are trying to fracture the base, the people who will actually fix this country, largely conservative Christian nationalist men, by saying, Donald Trump is a traitor, this is betrayal. We need to impeach him. All right. I don't like when people are wishy washy, when they don't offer solutions. Three months. If the main military operations go beyond three months, come right back and tell me, told you so. That fair comment below, that's what I think. The timeline should be hopefully significantly shorter. And we'll get into the polling on Iran, the support or lack thereof. It's time dependent how long it takes. And we'll give you some historical examples other than Iraq, I don't know if you know, but that's a thing. Texas primaries happened. Jasmine Crockett, she blames Republicans for cheating because apparently the voters think she's a crock. Oh shit, I bleeped the wrong part, didn't I? And. Is that what I've leaped the O

[Jared]

admonish?

[Steven Crowder]

This is what we've had in the works for a long time. Body cams. We're going to do it then and now. We gotta have body cams. We gotta have body cams. And I remember saying like, yeah, okay fine, we should have body cams. Well then it turns out that the left really doesn't want body cams. Take a guess why. Take a guess. Who's responsible for the anti body cam message? The answer is yes. You know exactly why. On with the show. Hello?

[Josh Firestein]

Hey there. I'm looking for a Mr. Billy Bennington.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, that's me.

[Josh Firestein]

Excellent. Mr. Bennington, I'm just calling today because I heard you might be interested in refinancing your home.

[Steven Crowder]

No, I'm really not and this isn't a good time. Oh, hey now.

[Josh Firestein]

It's always a good time to talk about saving some money. It looks like you're currently at a 5.3% rate. And you know, I can get you up to 9, 9.5% easy. Maybe even get you some cash out on the Deal.

[Steven Crowder]

That sounds terrible, and it's really not a good time.

[Josh Firestein]

Well, respectfully, Mr. Bennington, you don't know what you're talking about, okay? I'm the professional here, all right? So why don't you take the tampon out and calm down.

[Steven Crowder]

I don't have time for this.

[Nick DePalo]

Please take me off your list.

[Josh Firestein]

Okay, I can do that. Oh, and Mr. Bennington, get some rest. You look tired.

[Jared]

What?

[Josh Firestein]

Trust the professionals. Whether it's a medical procedure or financing your home, call the pros at American financing today at 1-800-974-650 or visit www.americanfinancing.net Crowder, NMLS 1-82334. If you start today, you may even delay up to two mortgage payments.

[Steven Crowder]

That was a good one. And you know what? I didn't think I was going to have a good one with two hours sleep. It's true. It's okay. My alarm system, whatever, it was a false alarm. But that doesn't change the heart in your throat. Armed and swinging.

[Jared]

Yeah, I woke up early and I thought you should have to as well.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, I don't understand what that means. What?

[Jared]

I set off your alarm.

[Steven Crowder]

Oh. Oh, oh, okay.

[Jared]

I did it remotely, though, by my phone.

[Steven Crowder]

It's. Yeah. I don't know. Well, we'll get to third chair today, Nick, and he'll explain why that joke doesn't work. So no explanation needed. What are you talking about? Captain Morgan, CEO. How are you? Other than that?

[Jared]

More well rested than you are.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, it's okay. Jared likes to anger me before the program because he thinks it's fun.

[Jared]

I think you perform better slightly angry.

[Steven Crowder]

That's not good. People either want me angry or drunk. That's the problem. It's the opposite. They're like, yeah, we want you angry when you have to perform, and then we want you drunk because you're nice and you're cuddly.

[Jared]

Playing Slightly Hurt makes you better.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, I don't know about that. But I tell you what. We'll test that theory, and we'll make sure you play Slightly Hurt. Wait, Tool man, you know the plan that we have? Yeah, but we won't talk about it on air. And in third chair today, actually, we have, of course, Mr. Josh Firestein as well, but the funniest man Alive. And at 6pm Eastern on the live lineup here on Rumble, you can watch him go to nickdip.com for any of his dates. Mr. Nick DePalo. How are you, sir?

[Nick DePalo]

Good. How you doing? Don't go for those dates.

[Jared]

You?

[Nick DePalo]

Why not? Semi retired?

[Steven Crowder]

Well, you look. You look good. You look trim.

[Nick DePalo]

Oh, that's because I stay awake 23 out of 20. My fans will document it for you.

[Jared]

I'm.

[Nick DePalo]

I'm within. I'm putting already sucking a Dare Rifle.

[Steven Crowder]

Really?

[Nick DePalo]

I wake up every hour on the hour. Last night I went to the bar at the hotel, had three drinks, took two Advil pm. You're not supposed to do that, hoping I'd die. Yeah, and. And five o', clock, I'm staring at the ceiling like I'm on crack. So it's.

[Steven Crowder]

Well, I guess the solution is just try a little crack.

[Josh Firestein]

Yeah, try crack.

[Steven Crowder]

I mean, you're already halfway there at this point.

[Nick DePalo]

Boy, was she fat. Kids. What?

[Steven Crowder]

But we'll get to the body cam footage. Crack crazy things to people. Josh, good.

[Josh Firestein]

Yeah, excellent.

[Steven Crowder]

Wanted to have you on because we're talking about some military stuff today. But first, yesterday, some footage. It was unearthed from October in 2025, made the rounds yesterday showing a Black Lives Matter, I guess a leader from Illinois. I don't know, just to be clear, I don't know who started this. We don't know who committed the assault initially, but there's a man and a woman involved with Black Lives Matter in Illinois fighting each other in a hallway. And the video is as good as you would hope. Oh, there we go. He had no audio originally.

[Josh Firestein]

You can imagine what they're saying.

[Steven Crowder]

He needs some milk. Let's go. On my sideburn. She handled him.

[Josh Firestein]

Now she's talking some smack.

[Steven Crowder]

Oh, now he gets back up.

[Josh Firestein]

Oh, took him down.

[Steven Crowder]

Oh, hell no. I'll give your ass some more. Touch my weed. By the way, that I will tell you this. Embarrassing, horrible people and politics aside, that that broad has some. Some kind of judo training or something. She's looking for leg shifts. And I think that was a delayed reaction to a nutshot. I think she hit him in the nuts and he came up. He's like, no, I'm gonna.

[Nick DePalo]

Black broads don't have to take judo to be that tough.

[Steven Crowder]

No, they don't.

[Nick DePalo]

They don't. They can go, man.

[Steven Crowder]

Well, that was.

[Nick DePalo]

Go to hell. That's what I said.

[Steven Crowder]

He's obviously. People like, oh, you got his ass. He's obviously going easy on her. He's just grabbing her. He wasn't, you know, he wasn't. Hockey P. That is. Let's be honest.

[Nick DePalo]

I think so.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah.

[Josh Firestein]

I saw some swinging.

[Jared]

He was.

[Steven Crowder]

He swung once, but when he had her up against that wall, he was just trying to.

[Nick DePalo]

He didn't look panicked when he got. When she threw him down. He didn't like, you know, he looked like.

[Jared]

I know.

[Nick DePalo]

He was kind of.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, I think just go, look, look.

[Nick DePalo]

He lost all his credit.

[Steven Crowder]

Just go for the weave. That's like black people Krav Maga. Instead of the eyes, go for the weave.

[Josh Firestein]

No, I've learned that if you take off the weave, they get angrier.

[Steven Crowder]

Well, yeah.

[Josh Firestein]

You'd rather have a. A.

[Steven Crowder]

No, I'd rather fight them angry because they're not being logical. Right. Their. Their thoughts are. Are cloudy. And by the way, the woman claimed that she confronted that guy, Clyde McLemore. McLemore, like the white rapper McLemore, because he's a Black Lives Matter leader. And she said that he handled the grant money poorly. So it was, you know, he didn't. He didn't pay her. And you'd be surprised to learn by the way that he spent Black Lives Matter funds also on self defense classes. So that's the real. I love the fuck out of cookies.

[Josh Firestein]

Well, that's why he lost a fight.

[Nick DePalo]

Who was that?

[Steven Crowder]

It depends on the era of Steven Seagal. Sometimes he talks like he's an Italian because he. In a mobster movie. And he says. And then sometimes he talks like a native American because he was. And then sometimes he talks like he's black. He's like. I was raised on the porches of Detroit now.

[Nick DePalo]

Yeah, he's all screwed up.

[Steven Crowder]

I was out there playing the blues before I smoked a peace pipe and made a pizza in my home oven. What?

[Jared]

What?

[Steven Crowder]

Which one are you? I'm all things.

[Nick DePalo]

Yeah.

[Steven Crowder]

Namely a fraud.

[Nick DePalo]

He had one good movie.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah. Under Siege. That's true.

[Guest Speaker (Left-leaning commentator)]

First.

[Nick DePalo]

I don't know.

[Steven Crowder]

See, that's how I.

[Nick DePalo]

It might have been even before your time, though. What I'm thinking, there was great, great fight scene in the bar. You know, the bar that opens up like this way. He slammed it on the guy's arm. Was that the. Is that under se.

[Steven Crowder]

That wasn't Under Siege. That's the one where he runs like this.

[Josh Firestein]

Yeah, that's every move.

[Nick DePalo]

That's.

[Josh Firestein]

That's both his moves.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, he's like, I tell you, if you get me angry, bad things happen. Got to catch a bus.

[Nick DePalo]

He loves his turtleneck, so.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, it hides that neck. It is skeet shooting and skeet shooting glasses for some reason all the time.

[Jared]

Blue blockers, yellow.

[Nick DePalo]

I like to spot weld.

[Steven Crowder]

I'm colorblind. I don't see color because I'm with the brothers and the guineas. Oh, that's why I wear yellow glasses and claim my taught UFC champions, even though they don't let me in their locker room. You suck, Steven Seagal. Speaking of suck. Black Lives Matter. So you know, this is not new. Check all the references. As far as the fraud. Few examples. The Black Lives Matter co founder, Patrice. I don't like to say Patrice Colors. You know what? That's fine. It's a name.

[Josh Firestein]

I think it's Couloers.

[Jared]

Just, you know, whatever.

[Nick DePalo]

Yeah, it's French.

[Steven Crowder]

Colors.

[Josh Firestein]

What's your name?

[Steven Crowder]

Colors. Patrice Color. That's right. That's a woman's name. I don't know. It could go either way.

[Jared]

Yeah. Really?

[Steven Crowder]

Patrice colors bought a $6 million mansion in Los Angeles after there were $90 million in donations. Only 33% of the 90 million donated went to charities at all. Six million went to the Father of Colors. 2.1 million to another Black Lives Matter board member for consulting. Then you have the Black Lives Matter Oakland. Or, sorry, Oklahoma City director, Tashella Cherie Amore Dickerson. I've heard that's ridiculous. I've heard of people being out of touch with black culture. Just stop. T', Challa. Cherie. Amore. Dick. Amore. Dick.

[Josh Firestein]

I bet it's Amore. I bet it's a.

[Nick DePalo]

Have you heard the Tichelle? Oh, my God, it's delicious.

[Steven Crowder]

Hey, her name is my name, too.

[Nick DePalo]

You've never had the stuff. Shell is Shellus.

[Josh Firestein]

Yeah, I think I get that at the airport.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, you can. Yeah. Well, look. Sbarro's leaves no man untouched. Indicted for stealing $3.15 million in bail funds for personal travel, shopping and property. How many weaves can you buy? Black Lives Matter, Atlanta activist, Sir Major Page. What? These stupid.

[Nick DePalo]

Like, is this a real.

[Steven Crowder]

These are real.

[Nick DePalo]

These are real pages.

[Steven Crowder]

These are real.

[Josh Firestein]

Yeah, He's a. He's a. Well, he's a knight.

[Steven Crowder]

And he's also for yelling at you, Nick. You didn't deserve that.

[Nick DePalo]

Oh, you're yelling at me.

[Steven Crowder]

I didn't even hear it. I was just yelling.

[Nick DePalo]

I'm so tired. I thought that was in my head.

[Steven Crowder]

Convicted of stealing $500,000 from donors through fake Black Lives Matter's Atlanta Gofundme Jara Saleem. Black lives matter in UK got two and a half years in jail for stealing $30,000 in donations. And remember, even Breonna Taylor's mother referred to Black Lives Matter as a fraud, a fraudulent organization. And Charity Watch gave the Black Lives Matter organization a rating of question mark.

[Nick DePalo]

People love them on Yelp.

[Steven Crowder]

Yes, people leave Us a Google review.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Steven Crowder]

Where would I leave it? Yeah, you know, just find a way.

[Jared]

Go to my six million dollar mansion.

[Josh Firestein]

Yeah, they're not big fans of TripAdvisor, though.

[Steven Crowder]

No, not huge fans.

[Jared]

By the way, I think we have a picture of Sir Major. Do we have a picture of Sir Major grandkids?

[Nick DePalo]

Major Haley.

[Josh Firestein]

It's Major Page.

[Nick DePalo]

Oh, he's albino.

[Steven Crowder]

That's an albino Puerto Rican. That is not. That is.

[Nick DePalo]

That is cruel, man.

[Jared]

That is your black lives matter, ladies.

[Steven Crowder]

That's why he went in so hard on the nickname.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Steven Crowder]

Because he's like, ain't nobody gonna believe us unless I come in. I say it's Major Page.

[Josh Firestein]

It looked like he like albino Malcolm X.

[Jared]

Yes, he did.

[Nick DePalo]

It's the worst case of vitilago I've ever seen.

[Steven Crowder]

Wow. Hold on a second. Bring that back up, because we all know now.

[Nick DePalo]

Yeah, that looks like a black guy who's seasick.

[Guest Speaker (Left-leaning commentator)]

It's got.

[Steven Crowder]

Got scurvy. Need some gravel. Get this man some lemons, some ginger chews, something. Let's get the.

[Josh Firestein]

You look like a bad guy from Spider Man.

[Nick DePalo]

College fellow with malaria?

[Josh Firestein]

No, the color fellow.

[Steven Crowder]

Your funds now, Spider Man. By the way, I'm willing to bet that, you know, they didn't use American financing because they stole the money. But if you can't steal money, american financing.net Crowder or call 1-800-974-6500 nmls 1-82334. Have to say that legally, I don't know why. A lot of people have saved money using them. They're a fantastic sp. And then people who haven't even used them have saved money simply by using them as a comparison. So if you're going through that process, give American financing a call. Here's another one aggravating. We've talked about black lives matter. Not all black people. Just Black lives matter. You know, just the figureheads. Let's go to white women, because I think you're not angry enough at this point. White, suburban, liberal women. Here is a wife of an active duty soldier currently serving overseas. This woman went to TMZ to bash President Trump on behalf of her husband, which I'm sure being actively deployed, he's thrilled about. Is your husband okay with this risk? And obviously you're upset about it. It's very clear you disagree with President Trump's decision to start this.

[Nick DePalo]

That's why you have her on asshole.

[Steven Crowder]

Do you know how your husband feels?

[Guest Speaker (Left-leaning commentator)]

He's also not happy. And I will say more than Any other decision that any commander in chief in his entirety being in the military. More service members are being vocally upset about this than we've ever seen before. But it is very obvious to a

[Steven Crowder]

lot of service members.

[Nick DePalo]

I gotta go to work.

[Guest Speaker (Left-leaning commentator)]

Military families that this has nothing to do with protecting Americans. This has everything to do with distracting

[Steven Crowder]

from you want to protect is the

[Guest Speaker (Left-leaning commentator)]

buffet performance at home. And what we aren't okay with, what my husband isn't okay with some macaronis risking their lives to serve that distraction.

[Steven Crowder]

Somebody stuff a Salisbury steak in her mouth and get her to shut up, crying out loud.

[Jared]

I like how you choose.

[Steven Crowder]

Not a good steak. So the name Stovetop stuffing the name of the person. Kendall Brown. Obviously an avowed leftist. Let's look at the job history of this person. Kamala Harris campaign was the digital rapid response amplification strategist. Because that's a real thing. Hillary 2016 Campaign Deputy Digital Director. Loser Mom's first organization. Digital Director. It's a leftist group, just to be clear, pushing this sort of like nanny state undermining of the traditional family like Black Lives Matter. The nuclear family is a byproduct of patriarchy. So you have to destroy it because we need more single moms. The hope not hate campaign organization. It eludes me right now. Digital director, Muslim advocates. Another group. Senior digital strategist. Pro Islam sort of lawfare group. So this person was just brought up, you know, this person was just speaking on behalf of her husband. Speaking on behalf of her husband. And by the way, if she tells you, more and more people in the military are speaking out, are furious about this. Like, okay, here. I've always said this is what we try and do with the show. This is why go check the references. We provide them every single program. Show us, don't tell us. Yeah, Everything that we tell you today, we're going to show. She shows nothing other than neck fat. And in case you needed more proof, here is her TikTok. I'm sorry that I have to subject you to this. We are live 11am eastern every day of the week. Sorry, weekdays. So you can subject yourself to more of this. But you need to know what the other side is saying. Here's her TikTok.

[Guest Speaker (Left-leaning commentator)]

Now that Donald Trump and Elon Musk are effectively intentionally crashing the US Economy, there's almost certainly going to be a huge influx of people who are growing Victory gardens or she looks like pre

[Steven Crowder]

Ozempic Bambi's Mom's ending on November 1st

[Guest Speaker (Left-leaning commentator)]

for hundreds of thousands of families due to the government shutdown.

[Steven Crowder]

Doesn't she have kids to take care?

[Guest Speaker (Left-leaning commentator)]

Likely going to.

[Nick DePalo]

You got a ring in your nose. I'm not taking anything serious.

[Guest Speaker (Left-leaning commentator)]

And their families. Welcome to part one of a series

[Nick DePalo]

I hoped I'd never welcome to the Olive Garden. All you can eat buffet.

[Steven Crowder]

Doing some.

[Josh Firestein]

She said dumpster diving. She can't get in a dumpster.

[Steven Crowder]

All right, hold on. I want to see the last thing she says here.

[Guest Speaker (Left-leaning commentator)]

Any chance of stopping it? We have got to figure out how to connect with more reasonable moderates and conservatives and get them to stand shoulder to shoulder with us on fighting this. I have a question for white conservative parents in the United States. Have y' all picked out your son's coffins yet? No, seriously. Have you stood in the showroom and run your hand over the smooth wood trying to decide if cherry or oak will look better when it's covered by a flag?

[Steven Crowder]

Maybe redwood feet.

[Guest Speaker (Left-leaning commentator)]

The song you'll play while you bury a boy who still has his baby teeth in your attic somewhere Jokes on you.

[Steven Crowder]

Mine are in a satchel ballot.

[Guest Speaker (Left-leaning commentator)]

Your shrug, your silence. You're cheering on pointless cruelty.

[Nick DePalo]

Oh, your voice. Giving me a lump of my nut.

[Guest Speaker (Left-leaning commentator)]

You applauded when the commander in chief lit new conflicts like disposable matches. ICE would force birth in shackles. They demand to see paperwork as contractions ripped through her body. They tell her to sit, then to kneel, then not to move. They'd separate her from Joseph. The baby would be labeled unaccompanied. He would be placed in a holding facility not under the star of Bethlehem, but under fluorescent lights that never.

[Nick DePalo]

Wow, You're a good writer, you fat fucker.

[Guest Speaker (Left-leaning commentator)]

Throw trans folks under the bus. We just need to find ways to defend them.

[Nick DePalo]

She's terrible.

[Guest Speaker (Left-leaning commentator)]

To at least one of the foundational governments that make up conservatives. Morality.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah. Mary would be arrested because revisionist history has ICE agents arresting baby Jesus. According to the left. There you go. Well, he still has Merv.

[Josh Firestein]

Oh, that's what that is.

[Jared]

By the way.

[Steven Crowder]

What is she. She's describing a hospital. Like, under fluorescent. Like, I don't know if you know. I don't know if you've been to many.

[Nick DePalo]

I think she's.

[Josh Firestein]

I think she might be describing an ICE facility. Yeah, either that or hospital.

[Steven Crowder]

But they.

[Josh Firestein]

They don't keep the lights on for the babies.

[Steven Crowder]

I mean, unless you talk about, like, the heat lamps. Is she talking about, like, the incubator?

[Nick DePalo]

No, she's not that clever.

[Steven Crowder]

Even. Even if all that is true.

[Josh Firestein]

And what if they're using halogen yeah.

[Steven Crowder]

Even if that is true, like, have you been to a manger, like, 2,000 years ago? Modern hospitals are positively pleasant in comparison. I would prefer either a nice facility or a hospital. Also, something else that she mentions there. And this is really important. This is important because you see people right now wanting to abandon the conservative movement, the America first movement, Christian nationalist movement. The president, who has turned this country around in a lot of ways, isn't perfect. You have a lot of these people saying, I'm gonna stay home during midterms, and this isn't what I voted for. And people like this are waiting on you. They're hoping that you do that. You heard her say, we need to find the reasonable conservatives, the moderates, and stand shoulder to shoulder with them. If you stand shoulder to shoulder, I mean, stand hip to hip, you stand roll to roll, really? Or your shoulder to her role with this person. You're standing shoulder to someone who's pro lgbtq, aip, including transitioning, I believe children, pro illegals, anti ice, pro abortion all the way up until including birth, period, pro universal health care, anti second Amendment rights. She believes in defunding the police. She believes in justice reform, which includes no cash bail and letting violent offenders out in the name of justice. So just be careful who you stand shoulder to shoulder with, because these people will want to try and present you with this idea of moderation. But make no mistake, someone like that is the enemy if you want to preserve this country.

[Jared]

Are we all going to just, like, gloss over the fact that Mary was a citizen of Israel? Would have had no problems in her home country.

[Steven Crowder]

Good point.

[Jared]

Would have never.

[Steven Crowder]

I don't understand.

[Nick DePalo]

I wish I knew the Bible.

[Steven Crowder]

Are they talking because she's in a different town? I don't know. Maybe, like, they think it's like someone from Atlanta in Savannah, and they have to be.

[Jared]

They were ordered to go back for the census. Like, she would have been totally fine.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah. No Abla Aramaic.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Josh Firestein]

I think it's one of those things like river to the sea, you know, Palestine would be free. I think, like, it was always Palestine or something.

[Steven Crowder]

Like, I don't know.

[Nick DePalo]

My question is, what kind of soldier would marry somebody like that? Yeah. Also, she didn't just turn like that overnight.

[Steven Crowder]

Right.

[Nick DePalo]

That's a good point.

[Josh Firestein]

I mean, you'd be surprised.

[Nick DePalo]

He's a trend.

[Josh Firestein]

You'd be surprised of what? Some of these guys are married.

[Steven Crowder]

Well, also, he could get in. In some hot water for the kind of stuff that she says.

[Nick DePalo]

That's right.

[Josh Firestein]

I hope he does not necessarily, like, legal trouble or, you know, losing a rank or something like that, because you know that he has to say it himself. If he did say something himself, it would be a serious problem, but there could be, like, minor problems. Like, there could be, you know, issues where people see it in his. In his chain of command. They go, oh, okay.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, okay.

[Josh Firestein]

Well, looks like your promotion board's coming up.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah.

[Josh Firestein]

Oh, man, I might have to miss that one.

[Steven Crowder]

Or they just put up.

[Josh Firestein]

Oh, shoot. Might have to put Firestein up instead.

[Steven Crowder]

You know, put up her tick tock. And every time he walks by, just go, Come on, guys.

[Nick DePalo]

That's her middle name.

[Steven Crowder]

Come on, guys. She's not that bad. Like, she is. She's the worst. Absolutely that bad. Yeah.

[Nick DePalo]

You can't. First of all, you can't be that fat and ugly and be that cocky.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, that's a good point.

[Nick DePalo]

You really can't. Yeah, she's got nothing off of the world. She's unfuckable and she's stupid.

[Steven Crowder]

See ya.

[Josh Firestein]

Yeah, I'm far less narrative.

[Nick DePalo]

Don't drop that or block it, whatever you do on Fagville.

[Steven Crowder]

We cannot. We can't. This is live. It's a live show. I don't care.

[Nick DePalo]

There's ways of doing that. I learned from the Jews. They hacked into your.

[Steven Crowder]

So did Iran.

[Nick DePalo]

Hey, I'm all for it. I have a whole take on that income. You won't.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, we're about to get to this. So here's the thing before we go into this, there's a lot of. There really is a lot of propaganda out there, and it's designed to make things feel bleak. This is. And I feel it. This is a time right now where there should be a lot of folks being galvanized. There should be optimism. I don't think you realize how bad things can get. We're gonna show you, for example, some body cam footage later in that segment that got us removed from YouTube. We were removed in the middle of midterms. We weren't allowed to discuss vaccines, masks, any of that. Like, free speech was not a thing. X was not a free platform. Rumble didn't exist. We just assumed that at one point in time we were gonna go down that road of LGBTQ AIP. Right. Facebook went from 50 something genders to 100 something genders. I don't think you know how bad it can get across the board to say nothing good has come of this and we're going to throw it all out now. As far as Iran, a couple things. First off, it's time dependent. As far as people's support for military action, not everything needs to be compared to Iraq because it's very often the least legitimate comparison. But I will stake my claim right here. Three months, okay? Three months. At three months in of this war, if things have not been scaled back, the main, the primary military operations, you'll always have some small units, then guess what, you can the people saying, ah, this is why we'll lose the midterms. Okay? It doesn't mean that I think the guy should be impeached, but I will, I will grant that to you. I don't think this is gonna go beyond three months. I think it's gonna be short. I think it's going to be effective. And I really hope for the sake of the country that I'm right. Because even though that shouldn't be the required timeline, it is as far as public support, as we go into midterms, three months, you guys let me know if that's reasonable. You can comment below. The widespread narrative out there right now. If you believe this, you've been, you've been propagandized a little bit. This war is going to sink President Trump. This, I don't even want to say war. This military action intervention is going to sink President Trump. It is a foregone conclusion. That's what you're told. Bush had his Iraq war, Trump now has his Iran war. Donald Trump's war with Iran is already wildly unpopular with the American people. And Republicans are already facing a very difficult election cycle. And now it seems like, at least in the short term, they're all going to be defending something that is unpopular and not really fully understood by the American public.

[Guest Speaker (Left-leaning commentator)]

When Trump made a promise, no more foreign entanglements, JD Vance ran on this. Trump's not going to get into war specifically on Iran. In fact, like, oh, no, we're going to be great negotiators. Again, goes to the heart of a promise he made to his people.

[Steven Crowder]

No, no, that's not true. That's not true. And they just throw out this term forever wars hoping that you don't do a little bit of fact checking. Donald Trump, we ran that video yesterday, 1980, talked about intervention with Iran, reiterated it 2004, 2008, they try and pull a bait and switch and go. He was saying we'd be great negotiators. Let me ask you this, can you negotiate with psychopaths? If you are not willing to go to use of force, how do you enforce it? At a certain point when you're dealing with lunatics. So part of the negotiation is this option has to be on the table.

[Josh Firestein]

Now, how is this non negotiation also right? I mean, they start, they're still gonna have a regime. If they still have their own government, they're still governing their. It's still Iran.

[Steven Crowder]

Then.

[Josh Firestein]

I mean, this is a negotiation. Hey, we killed the other guy that was in charge. Now you're in charge. Do what we say or.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, well, we just keep killing their guys. So that's, that's the most fun part. We present to you to the newest. And he's gone. All right, next one. So generally, I will tell you this, Americans, they're split. I'm not thrilled about it, but. And I would say this to those on the right who are doom and gloom, overall, it's 44%, both Republicans. It's 85% Democrats, 10%. That's what throws it off. So if you are a conservative, if you are a nationalist, if you are a Trump voter, just know that you are out of step with 85% of the voting base with President Trump, and you are in line with Ro Khanna and Elizabeth Warren. And the left, it doesn't mean that the left is always wrong about everything. It just means that that's who you've decided to link arms with. I want to be really clear about that. So examine it pretty thoroughly, because you do have to ask why. Where else has the left been right? Were there in tremendous support or disapproval of a given policy that you would say, yeah, that makes sense. Abortion, LGBTQ ice, the border taxes, Second Amendment, First Amendment. Name me one other issue where you would have 90 to 80% of Democrats in support or against where you would be in line with them. I can't think of one. And I'm not saying that that means or it determines what is right. I do think it's a pretty important indicator. Here's the thing that people aren't telling you, and this matters because we've had a lot of. Look, we've been involved with a lot of military interventions that aren't just Iraq. The polls change dramatically. The support changes dramatically. When you take this poll, when the survey takes into account duration of conflict, they don't necessarily think this is going to be a short conflict. Look at this. A lot of people think it might take months. Some people think it might take years. And there are a lot who are not sure. Now, the reason that is important is if you think it's going to be a long conflict, months, even years. Look at how the numbers tilt toward disapproval of it overall. They just skim past that. No, no, but hold on. Look at approval. If the conflict lasts days or weeks, 76% approval, massive. Now let's be clear. That has been the stated goal of this administration. If, if they don't achieve that goal, it means there's a miscalculation. And I would say that was a strategic mistake. But they've been pretty clear that their goal is for this to be swift and it's to be short historically, as opposed to Iraq. When that is the case, campaigns militarily are unbelievably popular. As a matter of fact, you seldom find this kind of unifying data anywhere else. Let me give you some examples. Granada, 63% it was 51 days. Panama, 77% support, it was 55 days. Desert Storm, 77 support, 42 days. The Yugoslavia bombing, 62% it was 78 days. And just so you know, while Iraq was going on in the early days, it had 71% approval. While people were under the impression that it would be short. Like those many other examples that I listed. Right. Not all of them are Iraq. Iraq is kind of an outlier, just like Vietnam, which is why it's often a study. It's something that you separate. It's an outlier. Yeah.

[Jared]

By the way, one quick thing about all of those, the media was reporting those patriotically, not positively patriotically, American interest. They were actually being honest about their reporting, calling balls and strikes to a much larger degree than we see today.

[Steven Crowder]

Right.

[Jared]

It's very obvious what the media is saying today just to damage Donald Trump.

[Steven Crowder]

You can even look at the first military action in Iran. Yeah. People telling you World War III was getting overwhelming support. When people saw what was accomplished. You can look at what happened in Venezuela. These, these things do matter. When people are trying to tell you all is lost. It's all done for because it's another never ending war. The strongest evidence that we have, nothing is a guarantee is that this will not be a very long term war. And I will tell you, I would not support a long term war. If it looks like Venezuela, if it looks like the first uranium enrichment facility strike in Iran, if it looks like, as it's been called, is it Operation Fury.

[Josh Firestein]

Epic fury.

[Steven Crowder]

Epic fury. That kind of tells you epic fury means hellfire, one big shot. If it looks like that I'm going to trust the people who I'm in line with 90% of the time as opposed to being in line with 90% of Democrats. That is the deduction that I kind of have to make because there is some incomplete information out there. We don't know how long this is going to go on, but in the interim, as long as this is days and weeks, what's the downside to being in line with the general American public and to not giving the left fodder? Because if you give them any ammo, guess what? They're gonna load their coffers and they're gonna save them for a rainy day and use that ammo on lgbtq, on second Amendment rights to strip you of everything. Were we about to say something?

[Nick DePalo]

Yeah. When did we start putting expiration dates on wars? You see what I'm saying? How about growing up America? It's a very fluid situation, as they say.

[Steven Crowder]

Right.

[Nick DePalo]

And in the end, it's good for you. Unless you don't believe that. So what do you give a shit if it takes six weeks or six months?

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah.

[Nick DePalo]

And you go promised.

[Jasmine Crockett]

Yeah.

[Nick DePalo]

He has to. Because you guys are babies. You want seriously American public. You're like fifth graders.

[Steven Crowder]

You.

[Nick DePalo]

You want everything tied up in a bow. Just like when you watch Law and Order. They fought. They solve the crime in an hour.

[Steven Crowder]

It's always a white guy.

[Nick DePalo]

Of course, it's wolf. Dick Wolf. Yeah, Propagates. Anyways, but you get my point. Grow if you want everything with a bow on it or.

[Guest Speaker (Left-leaning commentator)]

And.

[Nick DePalo]

And you people on the right are you me? This guy hasn't done enough in the last year for you to back him to the hilt? He's taken a bullet in the face and had his life threatened how many times? Give him a little slack.

[Jared]

Yeah, they won't. Because of Israel.

[Nick DePalo]

Yeah, but here's my Israel take on that. Did it ever. I love this whole thing that Bibi's playing Trump, he's cooking, baby's playing Trump like a violin. You ever think that maybe our long term interests intersect and we're getting stuff out of it working with Israel?

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah.

[Nick DePalo]

I mean, if Israel wasn't even in it, the Iranians would still be maniacs and threaten to kill us. Yeah, because the Islamic, they want to take over the world. That's their long term goal.

[Steven Crowder]

Right?

[Nick DePalo]

Right.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah.

[Nick DePalo]

Even if Israel wasn't there, we're gonna have to deal with them at some time. So not. So why not deal with them when you have somebody on your side like Israel for now. And then if Israel, it turns out that they were trying to us, we take care of them.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah. No, you're absolutely right.

[Josh Firestein]

I heard an interesting theory.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah.

[Nick DePalo]

Yeah, you just did.

[Steven Crowder]

That's from me.

[Nick DePalo]

I didn't read it. I didn't get it off website.

[Steven Crowder]

Well, yeah, that's very in line with what we were talking about yesterday. Just. I said it's not the Jews have an interest. The myth out, there's only the Jews have an interest. I go. What was.

[Nick DePalo]

Right.

[Steven Crowder]

Since when, since when do only the Jews.

[Nick DePalo]

Right.

[Steven Crowder]

That's the. And I don't think we should be doing Israel's bidding. I completely agree with you.

[Nick DePalo]

I agree with that.

[Steven Crowder]

At this point in time, there's no evidence to suggest we are.

[Nick DePalo]

That's, that's.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, no, it's a bang on. We're going to clip that. That was.

[Nick DePalo]

Please. Maybe I'll put it on my show.

[Steven Crowder]

Absolutely. Yes. Sorry, Josh, what are we going to say?

[Josh Firestein]

The interesting theory I heard was that there's a possibility that Trump knew that Netanyahu was planning to possibly send a nuke towards Iran.

[Nick DePalo]

That's right.

[Josh Firestein]

And the action of, hey, let's do this together and let's hit. No, no, don't do that. It might have been something that saved, you know, a real nuclear fallout or war between Israel and other people.

[Steven Crowder]

I want to, I want to have this conversation with you. We'll take it during chat. Do you accept, but I do believe in transparency with the administration as far as, you know, $500 billion a year in fraud, illegal immigration, SNAP, EBT, Social Security. But I do accept that militarily there will be information that cannot be given to me. Do you, do you agree with that or do you think that makes someone a lackey or a patsy or a bootlicker? That's what we have a lot of people saying.

[Nick DePalo]

It's a good point.

[Steven Crowder]

I do accept that. And you can go back to me and 2009 saying that that's not new.

[Josh Firestein]

Yeah, some, some military operations. You know, the guy who works at Lowe's doesn't need to know.

[Steven Crowder]

Right. Yeah.

[Josh Firestein]

Hey, just, hey, just let me know if I need a 4 by 4 or 2 by 4. Like what do I need to build a porch?

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, let's, let's, let's get Ilan Omar's thoughts on this. No, she'd just be calling her brother. Get out now.

[Nick DePalo]

She's still in the country.

[Steven Crowder]

I can't believe that. Yeah, I'm going to run it. So here's the best information that we do have. And this administration has been, I will say, in communicating on this war, far better. Certainly Marco Rubio, the White House comms team didn't do well in how they clipped it. Yeah. And the Secretary of War. I keep wanting to. Secretary of Defense, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth. Hey, one other thing too. You notice no one's calling him a Fox News morning host anymore.

[Pete Hegseth]

You know why?

[Steven Crowder]

Because he's really good at killing people. Yeah, he's an artist. Some. Some paint with watercolors, pastels. His is death.

[Josh Firestein]

Yeah, where's the, where's that?

[Steven Crowder]

Where's his experience? He doesn't have any.

[Nick DePalo]

After watching him, I wouldn't get in a fight with Steve Dosey.

[Steven Crowder]

No. No, I wouldn't. Yeah, you just said, you know, find out. You look like a Jackson Pollock painting by the end of it. That's Pete Hegseth. No one's calling him Fox News morning host anymore. But they move the goalpost and so many people go squirrel and you chase it around. So the best indicator we have as to the plans of this war, what missions, to which missions are we tethered? This Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has made it pretty damn clear. Here's an update that if we are all American, look wherever you line up on the action taking place, this. These are tidings of great joy.

[Pete Hegseth]

I liken Iran's predicament to a football team who scripted the first 20 plays of a game. The team knew what plays to run because their first few drives were scripted. But now that the game has started and the blitz is on, they don't know what plays to call, let alone how to get in the huddle and call those plays.

[Nick DePalo]

Ah, the New York jets. He's talking.

[Pete Hegseth]

Iran's senior leaders are dead. The so called governing council that might have selected a successor. Dead, missing or cowering in bunkers, too terrified to even occupy the same room. Senior generals, mid level officers, enlisted ranks. They can't talk or communicate, let alone mount a coordinated and sustained offensive. That's not great for morale. The Iranian air force is no more. Built for 1996, destroyed in 2026. The Iranian Navy rests at the bottom of the Persian Gulf. Combat ineffective. Decimated. Destroyed. Defeated. Pick your adjective.

[Steven Crowder]

And then he went on to look. There are some pretty strong indicators, some would call them positive trends. We have complete and total control of the skies in Iran. He detailed how that came to be.

[Pete Hegseth]

In a few days, in under a week, the two most powerful air forces in the world will have complete control of Iranian skies. Uncontested airspace. I hope all the folks watching understand what uncontested airspace and complete control means. It means we will fly all day, all night, day and night. Finding, fixing and finishing the missiles and defense industrial base of the Iranian military, finding and fixing their leaders and their military leaders looking up and seeing only US And Israeli air power every minute of every day until we decide it's over and Iran will be able to do nothing about it.

[Steven Crowder]

And I should also mention, like in many wars, they're also dropping propaganda leaflets. There you go.

[Josh Firestein]

Oh, there's some positive news.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah.

[Josh Firestein]

For those who don't know, finding and fixing. What was the thing this morning? Fixing means stopping their maneuvers. It means that they are unable to move. They are in place. They're unable to attack, unable to move. So if you don't know what that meant.

[Nick DePalo]

Yeah, not like preparing them.

[Steven Crowder]

This is also why. This is something too, that's important if you believe that there's any type of threat that the United States faces. Okay, the language that in a regime like the Islamic Republic, they only speak one power. These people are willing to die. Right. They're suicidal maniacs. They're not willing to be embarrassed. That's a far scarier prospect to them. So mocking them mercilessly and talking about how impotent and powerless they are, that is important. And there are more numbers, by the way. Check the references link in the description as we do every show. Let's look at their ballistic missile launch rate. On Saturday, it was 350. Sunday, 175. Monday, about 120. Tuesday, 50. Some would say that's a consistent trend. Drones are down about 73%.

[Josh Firestein]

They should go to hims.com?

[Steven Crowder]

yeah. Someone get some Bluetooth, maybe some goats. Well, that's the local flair.

[Josh Firestein]

Geez, Gerald, that's inappropriate. These are people at war.

[Nick DePalo]

You have a pork goat.

[Steven Crowder]

Descriptive. I don't know. Now, look, that's not to say, and this is the thing, too, where people will say, of course we don't want boots on the ground. We don't want Americans to die. No one wants Americans to die. And by the way, I do believe that even when Barack Obama had to make this, I think he was the worst president possibly ever. I don't think that he wanted Americans to die when he took military action. I don't think that any commander in chief wants that. But I will say there has been tremendous care taken with this administration to mitigate loss of life in a way that is unprecedented. It doesn't mean that those who have lost their life. I'm not going to do what Megyn Kelly or what that military wife did in and say that their lives were lost in vain or in service of Israel. We've lost six service Members as of the time of this broadcast, including. And I want to make sure I get their names right. Sergeant First Class Nicole Amour from Minnesota. Sergeant First Class Noah L. Teejens of Nebraska. Sergeant Declan Cody of Iowa. Captain Cody A. Cork of Florida. Two have not been named as of the Showtime. We don't want to leave anyone out. Thank you for your service. And I have no idea if these people supported this action. Stats would probably say that they did. I have no idea how they voted.

[Josh Firestein]

Stats would probably say that they supported their, their duty.

[Steven Crowder]

Yes. Yes.

[Josh Firestein]

They might not support every war. You don't know. We don't know everything.

[Steven Crowder]

No, we don't know.

[Josh Firestein]

Especially them. They're doing it before we even find out about it. They just, they, you know, they support what they're supposed to do.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah. Yeah.

[Nick DePalo]

When you take your oath, you should be aware things are going to come up that.

[Steven Crowder]

Yep.

[Nick DePalo]

You can't control, but you're in a hierarchy of.

[Josh Firestein]

And most of them mean it.

[Nick DePalo]

Right?

[Steven Crowder]

Yep. I don't care how they voted. I don't care what their views were. They gave. I think we should all be able, if we want to find common ground. They gave their life in their duty to this country. That's any war, that's any military conflict, whether I agree with it or not. You want to get me on the oh, these, these troops are losing their lives meaninglessly bandwagon. That's never going to happen. If, if that convinces you that I'm a paid shill for Israel and you think I'm being paid $7,000 to honor the fallen, whatever. It's just not going to be a talking point here. I think we should stop funding Israel in the way that we do. I think that Israel should fight their own wars. And I think that Iran is run by lunatics and a threat to the Western world. Why? Because they said so. So again, going back to. For me, because I understand where you guys are coming from and I understand that people, they, for some reason, people think everything is bleak and it's not. Three months. Let's come back after three months. After three months and see where we are. Let's see if this escalates. Let's see if it's an outlier like Iraq or if it's in line with the other conflicts that we discussed, like Granada, like Panama, like Desert Storm. After three months, then we can. And that'd be a drop in the bucket, by the way, as far as when we're talking about spending, when people say, why can't we do this here And I get it. We need to fix things here at home. I think Donald Trump's doing a much better job than most that anyone could. Certainly, as far as deportations, secured border, when we're looking at actually having requirements, work requirements for social services, when we're actually getting people to pay their fair share in NATO, I think there's a lot of good freedom of speech, two genders, that's a big change. As far as military, let's give it three months and let's come back. And. And the reason that I'm putting. I don't. I agree with Nick. You shouldn't put a timeline on it. But I'm putting myself on the hook because the people telling you that all is lost and that you shouldn't show up for midterms and that you should impeach Donald Trump, they hold themselves to no accountability. So I had to pick something arbitrary. You can hold me to it. That's where we are.

[Nick DePalo]

Based on the first two weeks, it's going to last another 10 minutes, right?

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah.

[Nick DePalo]

Based on how it's going.

[Jared]

Yeah.

[Nick DePalo]

And when. When Trump says we're way ahead of schedule, I sort of believe him.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah.

[Nick DePalo]

Because he's pretty much everything he's predicted since.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah.

[Nick DePalo]

I listen very carefully.

[Steven Crowder]

You could be on the other stand up paddle boarding in the Strait of Hormuz next week. You have no idea.

[Nick DePalo]

That's right.

[Josh Firestein]

He said it like it was a. Like it was a construction project, too.

[Nick DePalo]

Yes.

[Josh Firestein]

Like it's supposed to take four weeks. We're out of schedule.

[Steven Crowder]

That's good. Yeah.

[Nick DePalo]

Oh, my God, that's good.

[Josh Firestein]

The investors are going to be very happy.

[Jared]

They get a bonus for speed.

[Nick DePalo]

We already got calls from people want

[Josh Firestein]

to lease an office

[Nick DePalo]

in Central park that they couldn't fix for 10 years.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah. He fixed it in 10 weeks, right?

[Jared]

Oh, yeah, yeah.

[Steven Crowder]

Just look at the World Trade Center. Look at how long that took. The entire State building was built in a year. I know you throw a few Irishmen with lunch pails on the top of the spoons, don't care.

[Nick DePalo]

There was guineas up this much.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, that's. Yes, that's true. Yeah. But they weren't as disposable.

[Jared]

I want to make one quick point because we've talked about intersecting interests between the United States and Israel.

[Nick DePalo]

Thank you.

[Jared]

One thing that hasn't come up quite as much, maybe some people are making this point. Is Saudi Arabia interest? Of course, Saudi Arabia has a massive, if not bigger or as big as Israel's, maybe even bigger than Israel's. Potentially because if you don't know this, they've been fighting a proxy war in Yemen against the Houthis who are aborted by Iran. Like to act like the United States, if anybody. The US Being led by the nose with any foreign country into a war is a bad thing and cannot happen.

[Steven Crowder]

Right. That cannot stand.

[Jared]

But when you just paint the one picture of it's Israel doing it and not address the other people in the region with a huge interest in this and the largest interest probably in Saudi Arabia, it shows me that you just have this hat on that is real bad. And it's kind of like the people that used to say, Trump bad, Orange man bad. It doesn't matter what he does. He's bad. You're doing the exact same thing. Just present the whole case. Make the whole case.

[Steven Crowder]

By the way, even if Israel bad, that doesn't mean that United States bad.

[Jared]

Exactly.

[Steven Crowder]

We're not acting on behalf of it. I agree. You would need to present a really strong case as to why we would have zero interest in destabilizing the regime in Iran outside of Israel. You would really have to. And we haven't seen that yet. I understand why those out there would be hesitant and say we don't. I don't want to fight a proxy war for anyone else. No, I don't. Do I think that Iran, a strong Iran, is not in the best interest? Of course. Of course. And by the way, every single president has said as much, every single one going back to the 1970s, only one had the testicular fortitude to do it. And by the way, we're speaking about this going back to the 1970s, we don't really have that with any other president because most of them weren't public figures their entire life. You can't find anyone, any president in modern history with a longer track record of consistency on anything than President Trump on Iran. You can't say traitor. You can't say betrayal. You can say that you disagree. And I think that's a reasonable discussion to have. Speaking of reasonable conversations, the primaries in Texas just took place in yesterday. And a couple of quick updates. Looks like Al Green may be headed for a runoff.

[Josh Firestein]

You walk off. He's got a cane.

[Steven Crowder]

Exactly. Herrera, front of the show. Who's been on here? Yeah, right there. Brandon Herrera. Looks like he might be heading to a runoff, and he's projected to likely, from what I understand, win. That's a great thing. Dan Crenshaw. This was an upset. He got Buster Douglas. He lost to a guy named Toth, and I'm not gonna lie to you. I'm having. I just thought. I thought it was mis. I thought it was written by a guy with a speech impediment.

[Jared]

He lost by a lot.

[Josh Firestein]

Yes, he lost by a lot.

[Steven Crowder]

To toss.

[Nick DePalo]

They asked him. Crenshaw. About losing because I didn't see it coming.

[Steven Crowder]

Hey, toss his ass out. Yeah, he got blindsided, so. Well, come on. He's eyeing retirement center from the right. Representative Crenshaw, it's time to close.

[Guest Speaker (Left-leaning commentator)]

Representative Steve Toth stunned the political world by defeating incumbent representative Dan Crenshaw in the Republican primary for Texas and stating one of the party's most prominent national figures.

[James Talarico]

Time to close. Endings and beginnings are ending and beginning now.

[Steven Crowder]

Last week, I made a joke about a picture of you, and I feel like it would only be fair if you got me back and made fun of a picture of me. Does that sound okay? I don't really need to do that, Pete. Never forget. Never forget. And that is for both of us.

[James Talarico]

Time to close. Endings and beginnings are ending and beginning now.

[Steven Crowder]

Have you ever met Tucker?

[Pete Hegseth]

You know, net worth total is maybe

[Steven Crowder]

under just under 2 million. So it's. It's not exactly like I've gotten rich.

[Jasmine Crockett]

You vote for a ban on Congress members trading stocks?

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah. I mean, this is like number 1000 on my priority list of things to care about. This is one of those stupid things that I've been dragged through the mud on. You know, how many. How much money I've ever had in the stock market. Long term goal has to be a stable, prosperous, safe Mexico.

[Jared]

Why?

[Steven Crowder]

It's our biggest trading partner. It's our neighbor. You know, you got to pick one country in the world besides your own that you want to make better. It should be Mexico.

[James Talarico]

I know that it's time for things to close. I know that it's time for things to close.

[Steven Crowder]

I always feel kind of crappy because he was on the show early on and he was kind of a friend of the show until I had to ask him about the Taps act. And you guys can go back to that where you could see the moment that my opinion on him changed. I wanted to have that conversation in good faith. And I kept asking him, how is this different from red flag laws? And, you know, it might be interesting to go. And you can see it wash over me. Oh, he's one of them now. So looking at this Paxton who was on the show, Ken Paxton, he's headed to a runoff with Cornyn. That's how it looks right now. And it looks like it should mostly go to Paxton in the runoff.

[Jared]

Yeah, 13.5% for Hunt. That'll probably mostly go to Paxton. So he could upset Cornyn.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, it looks like he could. And that's a great thing because Cornyn is a peace.

[Jared]

Oh, yeah. Most people don't know that he's a peace.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah. Shit.

[Nick DePalo]

There you go.

[Steven Crowder]

You got the right word. And then our favorite fake hood rat, Jasmine Crockett, lost to Talarico. Pick your poison. In that case, people picked Talarico. They said, give me some. Give me some of that poison. And here's the funny thing. Crockett, you know, nothing like perpetuating the original stereotype. Decided to not take accountability for the loss. Not say, you know, she should have run a better campaign. Blamed, you guessed it, Republicans for cheating. Oh, election interference is a thing now.

[Jasmine Crockett]

And we're not going to have election results tonight, in my opinion. Based upon what specifically is taking place?

[Nick DePalo]

Well, it's neck and neck,

[Jasmine Crockett]

unfortunately. This is what Republicans like to do. And so they specifically targeted Dallas County. And I think we all know why.

[Steven Crowder]

Because you're a retard. Is that the point, by the way? None of that makes sense. Here's what. This is also what I hate when people say, like, the alternative, the dissident.

[Jared]

Right.

[Steven Crowder]

Whatever it is, you can't just go out and make a claim with no substantiation whatsoever. This is what Republicans do. Any proof of that? And then you say, and I think you know why. What are you, the Steven Seagal of representatives? I think you know. No, we don't. By the way, if Republicans went in and voted in the primary, guess what? They would be voting for you because you're the worst. If they wanted to help, they wanted to help elevate the worst, most unlikable candidate we've got. It would be you. It would be you. Nothing that she just said makes sense. Which is why, even though we've done this in the past, this is a sequel. I think it's the first time we've ever dedicated to Time to close. It's time to close again for Crockett.

[Jasmine Crockett]

No one could have told me that when I went down to Austin. Now looks like a little bit over a year ago that I would be running for Congress. There was a lot of confusion.

[James Talarico]

Today, time to close. Endings and beginnings are ending and beginning now.

[Jasmine Crockett]

We done picking cotton? We are. You can't pay us enough to find a plantation. Immigrants have always been what made this country great. Not this white supremacy agenda. There has been no oppression for the white man, in this country.

[James Talarico]

Time to close. Endings and beginnings are ending and beginning now.

[Jasmine Crockett]

This administration is racist. The coddling is for the white boys. That's what's happening right now. I am tired of the white tears. Tell me to calm down.

[Steven Crowder]

Calm down.

[Jasmine Crockett]

Because my comment.

[Guest Speaker (Left-leaning commentator)]

Talk about her.

[Jasmine Crockett]

Y' all gonna have a problem. Racist. What they are doing.

[James Talarico]

Time to close. Endings and beginnings are ending and beginning now.

[Jasmine Crockett]

One of the things that they propose is black folk not have to pay taxes. I don't know that that's not necessarily a bad idea. I have been a champion for the LGBTQIA community.

[Steven Crowder]

All the letters for eight.

[Jasmine Crockett]

All the letters, exactly. We are going to be in your face. We are going to be on your asses. This dude has to be knocked over the head. You've got to pay attention to the qualified black woman. White supremacy is a problem. The only people that are crying are the mediocre white boys.

[Steven Crowder]

James Talarico will win the Democratic primary.

[Jasmine Crockett]

I won't be back tonight because I have no idea of when we're going to get results. And I fully anticipate it won't be until tomorrow.

[James Talarico]

So I know that it's time for things to close. I know that it's time for things to close.

[Steven Crowder]

Beaten by the most mediocre white boy ever.

[Jared]

Yes. Who changed the Bible's meaning and still beat her in a Bible believing district.

[Steven Crowder]

Think about that. Also, I don't think she's like, you can't pay us enough to find a plantation. Slaves weren't paid to find plantations. I don't know that. First off, they weren't paid to do anything. Second, like, they didn't need to find the plantations. They were born on it. That's why it's kind of a horror. It's an atrocity. Anyway, she's gone.

[Josh Firestein]

Also, I think there's a. There's an amount of money that might make a lot of black people pick some cotton.

[Steven Crowder]

Yes, I do, too. Yeah, I would pick cotton in a

[Josh Firestein]

heartbeat if they were paying me more than what I'm getting now.

[Steven Crowder]

Come on.

[Nick DePalo]

You see my shirt numbers?

[Steven Crowder]

Big, big Hanes. Big foot of the loom. What are you guys doing? You guys are slacking runoffs. By the way, May 26, 2026, and thank you to the incoming raid. I guess guys came in from Bongino. We appreciate it. You'll be going to, I believe Haley next after this. I've been wanting to touch on this for a while. We kind of briefly sort of glanced at it. I guess we just sort of skimmed Past it. But then I spent a little more time on this subject. This was a huge point of discussion in 2015, I would say. Now let me set the stage. Democrats, you know, they're kind of. They're known for flipping on many, many issues. That's kind of their thing. Well, the latest one that they flipped on and they were screeching about for a very long time. You guessed it, Police body cam.

[Jasmine Crockett]

We can show the facts as they are.

[James Talarico]

Liberals try to play their part by showing how racist cops are, but with all these thugs trying to stab their hearts, it hasn't worked out well so far.

[Jasmine Crockett]

My mom is on the phone.

[Steven Crowder]

I don't care. Here's the thing. You may not realize there's an active movement, an active push to try and do it away with the body cams that they said would solve the problem because of police brutality, namely against black people. It was open season of flip flop. It's time for then and now. Those Armenians can put together some guitar riffs.

[Jared]

They can.

[Steven Crowder]

Let's go first to then.

[Josh Firestein]

Yeah, you got it. No, you got it.

[Steven Crowder]

I did. That's why I did it generally with my thumbs. So if you guys have forgotten, they were arguing that it was open season on black people for a very long time. And one of the solutions, they pushed for it, I mean, vigorously. Democrats argued for, don't let them forget it. Hold them accountable. Body cameras.

[Guest Speaker (Left-leaning commentator)]

We should make sure every police department in the country has body cameras to record interactions between officers on patrol and suspects. That will improve transparency and accountability. It will help protect good people on both sides of the lens.

[Steven Crowder]

And we agreed, actually found awareness because of social media cameras and so forth, that there are problems and challenges when it comes to how people behave, policing and our laws are applied in certain communities. Department of justice has just announced a grant program for those jurisdictions that want to purchase body cameras.

[Guest Speaker (Left-leaning commentator)]

The issue of body cameras, her mother has been advocating for that because of course, those three police officers were not wearing body cameras. To your point, in my experience, when I was Attorney General of California, I believe I was the first state to require our agents to wear body cameras and keep them on. Because it's about transparency.

[Jared]

Because of body cameras and other technology, we are seeing the horror. Unarmed people, handcuffed people. In the case of the tragic murder of Tyre Nichols, we're seeing things that do not comport with our national standards and expectations.

[Steven Crowder]

Car videos have been crucial. When you talk about black people, especially being able to get justice in police brutality cases, I have been asked, Natasha,

[Nick DePalo]

what is the difference Between Britney King

[Steven Crowder]

in the early 1980s and George Floyd. And my answer has always been the quality of the iPhone video. Well, there was no iPhone video, so I think you mean the fact that there is iPhone video. But. Okay, fine. The point remains. Here's the thing. And we're just gonna go straight to the overlay. The largest study to this date that's been conducted. It concluded. And here's the thing. We're saying the same thing. It concluded that there was no statistically significant effect on decreasing police use of force, meaning body cams. So the left. And we'll get to the. Now, in a little bit. The left is saying, well, see, it's actually. It hasn't. It hasn't helped. So, you know, that means that it hasn't worked. I would say it hasn't changed the statistics, which means it's worked perfectly, which means that with the cameras on. Again, how do you want to interpret this data? Cameras off, cameras on camera. You still get the same number of interactions and cases of police brutality, which means you were fed a lie. You were fed a myth. And if you don't believe that, then I would request that you take a look at what the body cameras have shown us. Now, remember, you were told that you were going to see peaceful, gentle giants and police just like. Was that melanin looking? You know, that's what you were told you were going to see. Instead, you saw this, which is why now Democrats are pushing to do away with them. Get down on the ground, By the way. I'll just let you guys know. You do. We blurred everything out, but people do get. They assume room temperature in these because they're selfing police officers. It's a long montage. If there were no body cams, this would have. This would have warned it a march.

[Josh Firestein]

They tried.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, they did.

[Josh Firestein]

With body cam.

[Nick DePalo]

I didn't know he had time. Release bullets.

[Steven Crowder]

No body cam. White officer shoots black lady with elephant gun. It's like the ghost in the fatness.

[Guest Speaker (Left-leaning commentator)]

She got a taser.

[Steven Crowder]

We did taser. She came at me with a knife. What the hell did you expect me to do? Hey, what's going on?

[Jared]

Hey.

[Nick DePalo]

Oh, I remember that.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, we were banned on YouTube for covering it.

[Pete Hegseth]

Get down.

[Nick DePalo]

Why? Because of the crotch hunt.

[Steven Crowder]

I said good shoot. No, you want to shoot.

[Jared]

Yeah, that dad gave the baby the

[Steven Crowder]

knife right before that. Oh, there you go. Thank God for body cams. Watch out, strand. Watch out. Floor a t.

[Jared]

Yo, chill.

[Steven Crowder]

Yo, don't just hit me with the car. Dude, stop, Stop.

[Guest Speaker (Left-leaning commentator)]

Drop the car off.

[Nick DePalo]

Walk right there, please.

[Steven Crowder]

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Gentle giant.

[Nick DePalo]

It's like my wife tried a parallel park. Oh, you broke the plant.

[Steven Crowder]

How much you want to bet Mike Brown footage would have been worse? Put the knife down. Put the knife down. You know, so study says we've seen no change. You have. You can believe your lion eyes and ears and go, well, maybe it's because this is the kind of behavior that was being encountered for a very long time. But the left says, no, no, it must be again because of white supremacy or patriarchy.

[Nick DePalo]

I'll tell you what it did to this body. It broke the biggest lie, the biggest myth in the world, that black people are afraid of cops.

[Jared]

Yeah, exactly right.

[Nick DePalo]

Oh, my God, how many?

[Steven Crowder]

That could have fooled me.

[Nick DePalo]

My buddy was a cop at 30 and he goes, that is a.

[Steven Crowder]

And, yeah.

[Nick DePalo]

Oh, they look frightened, don't they? Shut the car up. You, man. What is it?

[Steven Crowder]

Driving while black. I got my finger, I got my hands at 10 and 2. Officer, here's my identification. Oh, no. Instead you were trying to run him over. Which brings us to. Now those on the left are saying, you know what, guys, we should do away with body cams.

[Guest Speaker (Left-leaning commentator)]

Yeah, Body cams, whether they're worn by ICE or border patrol or your local police, are a popular solution to officer brutality against civilians because they're a convenient way to make it look like accountability is happening without said accountability ever actually being borne out by the data. Body worn cameras were first introduced to police not as a form of accountability and reform, but instead, major tech companies introduce them as a convenient way to expand their surveillance capacity.

[Steven Crowder]

Everybody who studies these questions understands that body cameras are not a reform to any form of police violence. There has been overwhelming research. There's so much research and overwhelming consensus on this question that even the federal government's own position for a decade or more has been that body cameras do not reduce police violence. But why is that?

[Guest Speaker (Left-leaning commentator)]

Systematically is that body cameras lead to a decrease in the perceived culpability, intentionality and guilt or punishment worthiness of the police officers involved. Basically, the body camera wearer is seen as less. As less agentic because he is not seen.

[Steven Crowder]

Well, because he's not seen.

[Guest Speaker (Left-leaning commentator)]

We're missing something.

[Josh Firestein]

He's making funny faces at him.

[Steven Crowder]

The officer's not seen. That's a problem.

[Guest Speaker (Left-leaning commentator)]

Officer in that video is in the reflection of him in the screen. So what they find is the more that you don't see the officer, the more that people blame the officer less.

[Steven Crowder]

Okay? So if you don't see the Officer, the body cams don't work. Therefore her solution, well, the one proposed was to bag, tag and body cam all black people. That seems to be the. Yeah, there you go. It's just like. And by the way, if you are not a Rumble Premium member, that's the only reason we're allowed to do any of this.

And we will send you off to Haley today. Who you know is easier on the eyes than the mediocre white boys here. As Jasmine Crockett puts it. But you know what, Applejack? Josh actually tells me that you're not a big fan of body cams. No, no, no.

[Josh Firestein]

Today's unsuspecting guest, Applejack, come with me.

[Steven Crowder]

Smile.

[Josh Firestein]

Applejack.

[James Talarico]

Body cam.

[Steven Crowder]

This is your stupid show. Get the out of. Let's go. Oh, he's coming.

[Nick DePalo]

He's coming.

[Steven Crowder]

Dude, he's coming.
