Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. Opening Banter & Set-Up

• [00:01 – 05:55]:
  • Show begins with casual banter about the summer schedule, a spilled drink, and comedic sketches featuring Nick DePaolo as a “bathroom attendant.”
  • Crowder sets up the main topics: the “defeat of capitalism” by NYC Councilman Mamdani, the push against air conditioning, and NYC's approach to policing and multiculturalism.
  • Jokes about the show format and internal references (chairs, themed music, etc.).

---

2. Discussion on Air Conditioning, Mamdani & NYC 'Soft Socialism'

Air Conditioning, Socialism, and European Influence

• [11:00 – 23:01]:
  • Crowder frames Mamdani as declaring “victory over capitalism” and “telling you to put your thermostat at 92.”
  • Comparison to Jimmy Carter: “This is nothing new. Jimmy Carter said turn down your heat, wear a sweater.” [13:16 – A]
  • European mindset: Clips played of Europeans treating air conditioning as luxury, “not a solution”, and possibly divisive (“separate the haves and have nots”).
    • Quote: “It almost seems like the left in the United States wants to emulate the socialism that you see in Europe...” [13:16 – A]
  • Crowder’s stance: Satirically divides the world into “pro AC” (America) and “anti AC” (Communists/socialists).
    • Quote: “Yes, I am pro AC culture. You are anti. Let’s just break it up into that.” [14:08 – A]

Mamdani and Power/Grid Recommendations

• [16:06 – 17:37]:
  • NYC leadership (parodied as “Uncle Fester in a wig”), urges businesses to keep thermostats at 78 degrees “to alleviate the stress on our power grid.”
    • Notable Quote: “To every business owner, please set your thermostats to 78 degrees...to alleviate the stress on our power grid.” [16:34 – B]
  • Panel mocks the sign language translation and “soft socialism”:
    • Quote: “If the power grid couldn’t handle it…do you think that socialists in power would be asking you…or telling you? And it would be punishable.” [17:37 – A]

Connecting to COVID Lockdowns

• Crowder draws a parallel between AC restrictions and pandemic lockdowns, suggesting both are forms of government overreach when progressives are unchecked.

Police Cuts & Budget Reallocation

• [19:04 – 21:45]:
  • Examines how NYC reneged on hiring 580 new NYPD officers and instead increased the Department of Cultural Affairs budget by 7% ($323 million), funding controversial arts and services for illegal immigrants.
    • Quote: “So fewer cops, but cultural affairs...when you pass out from heat stroke and you’re raped by a hobo...you can go create some kind of installation regarding hate crimes and abstract postmodern art.” [20:45 – A]
  • Critique of priorities: Subsidizing housing for artists seen as frivolous versus real city needs like effective policing.

---

3. Student Loan Policy Changes & Critique

• [29:00 – 46:24]:
  • Brief Context: Biden’s attempt at student loan forgiveness struck down; new “Trump” rules focused on personal repayment.
    • Quote: “Do you remember when Joe Biden promised to unconstitutionally, and knowingly, unconstitutionally forgive student loans?” [29:58 – A]
  • Explains the subsidy-spiral: For every $100 in government subsidies, universities raise tuition by $60.
    • “Since 1963, tuition has gone up 750% even after adjusting for inflation.” [34:04 – A]
    • “The current federal student loan debt is $1.6 trillion.” [34:07 – A]
  • Critique: Government creates, subsidizes, then tries to solve the problem, making things worse.
  • Mocking viral social media complaints: An example where a woman's viral post claims her loan doubled due to new rules; panel debunks such claims as untrue/contrived.
    • Quote: “I don’t even know how you got the $289,000…” [41:08 – A]
  • Satirical solution: “If I borrow money, I have to pay it back? That can’t be right.” [42:33 – A]
  • Economic lesson delivered:
    • "You know what? Maybe we should start teaching people to actually be prepared for the real world, or teach about colonization and its effect on African squirrel nut gathering patterns." [44:02 – A]
  • Trade school & blue-collar praise: Warms to the notion that people in trades pay for “gender studies” majors’ loan bailouts.
    • Quote: “The men who are going to be out there trying to fix the electrical grid...taxes will be paying for those in universities.” [44:37 – A]

---

4. Somali Flag Raising & Multiculturalism/Treason

• [48:06 – 54:04]:
  • Buffalo, NY, City Government raises Somali flag for Somali Independence Day, cancels July 4th fireworks.
    • Crowder: “I think this is treason… Raising a hostile, terrorist safe haven nation’s flag around our Independence Day at a government building.” [50:36 – A]
  • Claims about Somalis in Minnesota: 81% on welfare, over $1 billion lost in welfare fraud, one-third do not speak English.
  • Public backlash in Columbus, OH: Initial plans to raise Somali flag at City Hall reversed after public outcry — hosts urge continued pressure.
    • Quote: “That means that what you do works...You still do have the power. You still can exert public pressure.” [54:07 – A]

---

5. European Immigration & Social Tensions

• [56:54 – 61:19]:
  • Finland as an example: Muslim population from 42,000 (2010) to 150,000; much higher rates of sexual assault allegations among immigrant groups versus native Finns.
    • Quote: “Syrians are 15 times more likely to commit some kind of sexual assault or sexual offense. Afghan immigrants 12.3 times more likely…” [58:56 – A]
  • Panel attributes rising social tension and far-right shifts in Europe to “the globalist plan” and failed policies.
    • Notable moment: Crowder: “You need to have an honest conversation with yourself. That's why you'll never hear me say that political violence is never appropriate. Certainly isn't right now. There's definitely a time where it will be.” [60:54 – A]

Transcript

[A]

Welcome to the lineup. Is this how it's gonna go? Right before we go live, I just. Can you go to the long shot? Pops Crowders here with Nick DePale here. What? Oh, shoot. He spilled his drink.

[B]

He did.

[A]

It just went all over the carpet.

[B]

But not on me.

[A]

This is the thing.

[B]

People have.

[A]

People are already ready for summer vacation. To be clear, we have a show tomorrow and we have a bunch of special content. Some specials that we have pre taped through the week of fourth of July. And we'll be back mid July, so we're not gonna leave you hanging. But we will be live tomorrow. For those who are Rumble Premium members, welcome to lineup Live. All here on rumble, 7am or is it 8am? 8am to 7pm you can admonish me. Each show rolls into the next. Including, by the way, we have Nick depal on the show. His show is there in the evening. Funniest man alive. You can go see his dates. Today we're going to talk about Mamdani. Communist, but also a Nazi as it relates to air conditioning. Then again, we've talked about this. He's a European. Effectively, he's a Muslim. He's a European. I mean, he hates his country. Which brings us to treason. Raising the Somali flag at official government buildings while canceling fourth of July fireworks. Does that meet treason? Like, do you want to see actual gallows at that point? I'm pretty close. I don't know if I'm becoming the fascist like you made me this way, but I have a problem with raising the Somali flag. And I don't think that you should be allowed in this country. Student loans, new rules, better rules. Entitled pricks are mad and want to blame Trump for the fact that they have to pay loans back. I don't know if you know this, but the idea that you could borrow money and not pay, that was a bad idea. Almost as bad as the idea we had here at this office. We have a long. We've had a long spell of bad ideas. We thought it'd be fun making Nick depaolo our resident bathroom attendant.

[C]

What's a mint? Five shakes. A little much, isn't it? You're counting? Yeah, I'm a math wizard. Any more than two and little light in the loafers, as we say here in the bathroom.

[A]

Is this like the career path for a math wizard?

[C]

Stop it. Wash your hands.

[B]

I wash my hands.

[C]

Wash your filthy hands. I want to rinse those balls, too. Smells like a homeless guy's act. What? What?

[A]

What are you.

[B]

Are you my doctor? What is this?

[C]

No, I am not a doctor. I tried to be a doctor. It's something to do with a gymnast in Michigan. You might have heard about him in books. Anyways, what's this? This is gum. This is what you get. I appreciate your patronage. You'd like this gum. There's a unicorn. A picture of a unicorn on the. On the label ago. Well, those gay tattoos that. The tattoo you got on your tailbone that says enter only. Yeah. You have a piece of gun? I got.

[A]

I. I got this serving overseas.

[C]

You served overseas?

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

So you were a waiter at Arby's in France? No, military. I was in the military.

[A]

Oh, you were in the military.

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

Yeah. You know what?

[B]

I don't have time for this.

[C]

Where you going? You're right. No. Huh?

[A]

Get another piece of this guy.

[C]

Go ahead, take gum, tell your friends about it and get to that meeting that glory hole Lincoln and wait for everybody.

[A]

Oh, look, you missed a spot.

I forgot to ask you the question of the day. And this one will probably cause a lot of ragers throughout summer. What's the perfect thermostat? Temperature. And why can't women often grasp it? I don't know what it is. Female doctors do not. They still. The thermostat evades them. They don't understand saying top, top line, bottom line on versus auto. It's a whole thing. It's a whole thing in my house. Just don't. Just don't touch the thermostat. Don't touch my records. Name that movie line. Captain Morgan CEO. How are you?

[B]

Fantastic. Nice and cool. Yeah.

[A]

Oh, we always keep it nice and cool here. I'm doing all right. I had to change shirts last night. I guess I can wear this shirt on YouTube now.

[B]

Yeah, screw em.

[A]

If I were on Rumble. We're only on YouTube for like a couple of minutes. But this is. Do we sell it?

[B]

Yeah, of course.

[A]

Carter.shop.com. remember we had to ban it during the vox head apocalypse. They said you can't sell this because it's homophobic even though Che Guevara executed gays. But you know what? The point remains. And in third chair. Actually, third chair, fourth chair. Today we have the funniest man alive. You can go see him November 5th in Atlanta, Georgia, at Punchline Comedy Club and see all of his [e-mail]. he has a few coming up. Mr. Nick DePaulo. How are you, sir?

[C]

One, two, three. Fourth chair.

[A]

I'm the first chair. Well, he's fourth. How's that possible? He's fourth. You're third. Gerald. Second. You're third.

[B]

You're not a third.

[A]

It's a term we invented, and it makes no sense. So thank you for calling me on it, because I deserve that. And then right next to him in fourth chair.

[C]

Funniest man alive in the 11th chair. Ahead.

[A]

Well, you know, come on. It's a throne. Think of it as a throne.

[C]

I did. I'll show, baby.

[B]

I put you in 12th chair.

[A]

Nick, when you hear this, you know who it is. You don't have themed music. I am the fruit of his pecker, Pops Crowder. It gets worse each time you entertain.

[B]

It really does.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

I ha. I'm finding it difficult to top myself. You know, the fruit of his. I asked. I asked Nick. I said, hey, you know my dad, because people like the dynamic. He's like, are you crazy? Yeah, I love your dad. Don't pay attention to the show. We just talk, and then you do your thing to answer your question. Diner and 65 degrees. Well, I didn't ask you. You're cheating. You have a cheat sheet.

[B]

Wait, that's where you created Stephen in a diner and it was 65?

[A]

No, it's the movie Diner. You can't answer that. You made me. You're gonna know the answer anyway. You can also go by the way Pops Crowder has created Shoutout Us. It's basically like Cameo without the commies. All of your favorite conservative creators. Also a lot of followers on there. Here. It's going by right now. No, There you go.

[B]

Quickly. What? Really quickly. We. When we ask questions and you have to give us temperature. It's in Fahrenheit, not Celsius.

[A]

Oh, my gosh.

[B]

There are rules to this if we're going to have a silly system.

[A]

That street name is Ramu. Ramu. That's a terrorist.

[B]

Why am I getting admonished for Europe, it's Randy.

[A]

Somebody has to get it. We are very open minded here at Loud Earth Crowder, but we don't take too kindly to your terrorist types of random. Not going to like the Somali flag segment. He is not. He also won't like this segment. Well, maybe he does because they're kind of tolerant of Terrorism.

[C]

Canada.

[A]

Canadian military just showed off their prowess during a Canada Day. It's a silly day. It happened. You didn't know if you didn't watch the show. They had a Canada Day commemoration. And here is their military and their display of might in Toronto. Oh, my goodness.

[C]

What? Oh, my God.

[B]

Just roughly close together.

[C]

It's all right.

[A]

We don't have to be in sync. Guys.

[B]

It's fine.

[C]

They have no rhythm. They're white fellas.

[A]

Walk at your own pace.

[C]

I know.

[A]

Look at that. It's not about walking hard. It's about walking smart.

[C]

Yeah, you guys keep going. Looks like silly walks. Monty Python. Yes. Are they trying to.

[A]

By the way, there's one random guy. You'll see him who just runs across the street. Halt. Eh?

[C]

It's like they're making fun of us.

[B]

And maple syrup up.

[C]

Restless leg syndrome. Oh, look at this.

[A]

They're going to launch her out of a cannon

[B]

dinner and a show. Hey, you go hold the cannon, lady.

[A]

Look, that guy just running across like. Oh, I forgot my wallet.

[C]

Oh, my God.

[A]

That was really shielding infantry.

[C]

They put their finger in the ears before they shoot the k. You hear that voice? Oh, right there.

[A]

Rocket launcher firing back backwards. Oh, boy.

[C]

Imagine listening to that.

[B]

That's a female Swedish chef over there.

[A]

I've been listening to it for a very long. Is a propeller plane in a shotgun. Don't get me started on the navy. And of course, that was only the first regiment, to be clear.

[B]

Right.

[A]

We don't want to take it out of context and make them look bad. They're a formidable force.

[C]

Yeah, they are.

[A]

The 2nd Regiment was much more organized. See, the show's more rewarding if you watch it all the time.

[C]

All those Janet Jackson backup dancers.

[A]

Pretty much effectively. But you don't want to see the nipple. What else? Want to get to mum?

[B]

Donnie? I think we should. Okay.

[A]

All right.

[B]

And by the way, we like hot in New York. Apparently.

[A]

I'm glad. I was about to move on and then you just stopped me.

[B]

No, that's Mamdani.

[A]

That's. You know, you'd fare well in the Canadian military. All right, I'm going to. To flank them to the. Hey, you know. Do you think they got Bennegan? Hey, guys, stand up. Why are they Swedish? Not to halt you again, but how good was that bathroom attendance?

[C]

My goodness.

[A]

No, he does got to be recurring. That was on topic.

[C]

That music is tremendous.

[A]

It's a lot of. Well, Nick was very concerned because he. You know, you get a limited amount of time with. With Nick he's like, all right, I'm done. We're like, we need. We didn't get the footage of him wiping the counters, so we AI'd it. He's like, did you AI me wiping counters? We're like, yeah.

[C]

This is scary. I. I was complimenting you. I thought it was great.

[A]

It is scary, though.

[C]

I look just like. You guys can pull it up. You know, I do this on my show. My producer, you know?

[B]

Yeah.

[C]

I go. Who played like. He couldn't know how to Google. Good guy, though.

[A]

But, yeah, he's a good guy.

[C]

No, what's his name? John Tortorella. Yeah, the coach.

[A]

He looks like him.

[C]

Pull up. Yeah, pull up.

[A]

Do a side by side.

[C]

John Tortorella. He coached Vegas hockey.

[A]

I will. I will pull it up in. You know, in my club right now, I'm more concerned with addressing the communists. But, yes, I do want to bring.

[C]

Let's. Let's get to this piece of garbage.

[A]

I mean, Mom, Donnie, no. All of those. All of them are allowed.

[C]

I'm sorry. Tourette's.

[A]

I want you to remember. There it is.

[C]

Here it is. Now put him in a tux.

[B]

Noodles is having his revenge on you.

[C]

That's all we've got for all the chats.

[A]

I said, oh, my gosh. Thank. Thank goodness that Noodles is back. But, you know, I made a mistake. Turns out you're right. Sorry, it's. You know, it's our last regular daily show before summer. You know what it's like.

[B]

Hey.

[A]

Hey. Alice Good wrote a song about it. So New York City, obviously is a terrible place. And I've always said this to you. Where people go, oh, well, in the united left. And the left left me. No, no, no, no. The left is a radical party of extremists. They are not a legitimate party. The Democrat party in the United States. Nick has said this. I agree with him at this point. And I want you to ask yourself, what would the left do? We consistently bring this up. What would Democrats do if they were left completely unfettered, if they had access to all the levers of power? Well, it would look just like the most socialist countries in Europe. And that brings us to I. Communist New York.

[C]

They'll f your city. The city with Colby will break your city. They'll break your city with Comey Road.

[A]

Now, before we get to Mamdani telling you to put your thermostat at 92, it should be noted that this week is the week he officially declared victory over capitalism.

[B]

These past months have shown us anything. It is that socialists not only understand economics just as well as the capitalists who came before.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

But that we can solve their years of mismanagement through an embrace of our principles. There is nothing fiscally responsible about balancing the budget on the backs of working people.

[A]

Uh huh. So in case you've forgotten, references available link in the description we do it every show we stream weekdays 11am Eastern. There was a millionaire exodus in New York. $12 billion in annual revenue lost. Supermarkets. Remember the communist grocery. Grocery stores. $10 million over budget already. Construction hasn't even begun. And he balanced the budget with an $8 billion taxpayer funded bailout. And it's not coming from those millionaires or billionaires because they left. So fact check. Everything he just said is bullshit. Now this brings us to. This is nothing new. Right? Jimmy Carter said turn down your heat. Wear a sweater. That was his advice.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Love his peanuts. He is now telling you to turn your thermostat to 78. But before we get to that, it almost seems like he's mimicking the people. It almost seems like the left in the United States wants to emulate the socialism that you see in Europe. Let's see. Let's go to Europe first. Is it a central protection against extreme heat or an indulgence the planet cannot afford? I think I don't need it because I'm young and I can survive this kind of event.

[C]

It's not a solution. It's going to help people feel good,

[A]

but it's not going to help the environment. But as we die of the planet and it won't kill us not to have.

[B]

As much as I'm sweating right now, I don't want the UK to start

[A]

adopting AC culture because I think it will just separate the haves and have nots even more. Oh my goodness. Hold on a second. Pause. Just pause for one second. Because I have the right to do this. It's my show. I imagine since they drew that line, I accept your terms. Yes, I am pro AC culture. You are anti. Let's just break it up into that. The left is anti air conditioning. I'm pro there. Continue. But we don't all have to have aircon. Ah, quit your whining. Said the Indian migrant who just came from a bucket of their own shit. Now, triple digit temperatures. Ah, come on, It's a fact. Okay, I lied. They don't use buckets. It's just wherever it fell, animals use a vessel, admonish him or the corner. Try it. Triple digit temperature is now expected in New York City. And so what do you think the solution might is? Well, Mom, Donnie's pretty clear. Look to Europe.

[B]

Our administration is hard at work developing guidelines that will keep workers safe.

[A]

That's cancer. Uncle Fester in a wig. On the far left is that freaky thing from scary stories you tell in the dark.

[B]

Oh, wow.

[C]

So I don't know anybody who's got a signer. I'm not listening to them. Yeah, I mean, stuck in the past. I know what you're all about.

[A]

YouTube has subtitles.

[C]

Fucking left wing jerk off.

[A]

YouTube has subtitles?

[C]

Subtitles. Deaf people can read fucking lips.

[A]

That's exactly right.

[C]

Weiss, Davis, Spade doing the signing while

[B]

we finalize these guidelines. I want to urge all employers in New York City to develop those plans to protect your employees. It is not enough to say that they can take breaks when their paycheck is on the line. Workers cannot cool down when they have quotas to meet. They cannot go into a cooling center when they are on the clock. Please make a point of ensuring that your employees know their rights and that they will not face consequences for staying safe. And to every business owner, please set your thermostats to 78 degrees.

[A]

What?

[B]

To alleviate the stress on our power grid.

[A]

Ah, no.

[B]

78.

[A]

No, 78 degrees. What was the sign for 78 degrees? Yeah. Is that what it was? Let me go back. I think. I think she was thinking 98 degrees. She was fantasizing a barn. Invisible man.

[B]

And that they will not face consequences for staying safe. And to every business owner, please set your thermostats to 78.

[A]

Can we just go with subtitles? We've talked about this.

[C]

They're making that up, by the way. That means not. There's no term for Set your thermostat to 78.

[B]

They got to get close to it.

[A]

Making it up as they go.

[B]

Yeah, that's what I reacted to. So kind of call.

[A]

He posted this off. I speak. I speak sign. You speak sign. Attention, ladies and gentlemen. It gives me great pleasure. Getting both of you here was a badass.

[B]

It's an old joke. My dad.

[A]

All right. He posted this as well.

[B]

On X.

[A]

He wrote New York. It's hot out there. You said you don't say. The power grid is working overtime to keep us cool. Set your AC to 78 degrees. Turn off lights, electronics. You're not using an. Unplug what you can. Our city is doing its part too. Maintaining the 78 degrees room in our buildings. Dimming. Turning off our lights during peak electricity demand. Asking private partners to do the same. And powering down non essential equipment. A stable, stable grid means the AC stays on and lives are saved. Let's ease demand and get through the heat together. Let me make a couple of points here. This is the soft socialism. This is what Bernie Sanders say. It's democratic socialism. All right, if the power grid couldn't handle it, and let's just sort of create a hypothetical. Let's say the power grid wasn't able to handle it, sort of like Germany, because they went to renewables, solar, wind, and it's incredibly unreliable. And they know that they'll lose all power. And say, let's just. Crazy hypothetical that I'm sure would never happen in any type of a progressive place. Okay. Do you think that socialists in power would be asking you to turn down your. Or, sorry, turn up your thermostat or they would be telling you. Yeah, and it would be punishable. If you need a comparison, think lockdowns and leaving your house in places like Australia, the uk, churches, just. It sounds simple. He was voted in. Then you don't get to vote again. It's just a matter of time. You understand that, right?

[B]

Yeah, until he sends police around to check. By the way, Vicky Palladino, I believe posted. No. Yeah, I'm leaving my thermostat where it is. If it fails, let him tell us why our electric couldn't handle it.

[C]

And who is she?

[A]

She's a representative who's been on the show. She's great. Typical New Yorker. And she just fights back. She just doesn't give her.

[C]

She has no filter anymore and she's a politician.

[A]

She's awesome. She just calls them a straight up socialist traitor. Enjoy the warmth of collectivism. Yeah, exactly right. By the way, this is like. This is just a soft version of what you see. You wanna go to the Soviet Union, you wanna go to Cuba, you wanna go to communist China. Take any Venezuela breadlines. That's. Breadlines are a good thing. Take this, apply it to. Breadlines are a good thing. He said that unironically. Bernie Sanders. Democratic socialism, all socialism, most socialism starts off as democratic until it's not. Mamdani, by the way, is just a compulsive liar in a lot of ways. He's also been BSing his city council. So they. Unfortunately, New York City Council took him at his word. Before the budget deadline, he ended up reneging on hiring 580 NYPD officers that were meant to free up kind of overworked cops. And that was to help with things like de escalation training, mental health response Guess not. Yeah, so think about that like, ah, we need to have softer ways of dealing with. But we also. But we hate the cops enough that we're just not going to give you more cops. So we'll just hope for the best. Yeah, and eventually send in social workers. Except they'll keep the cops. They'll keep the right cops, the jackboot thugs, when they actually have to force you to turn off your ac. That's how it goes. There are no exceptions. Historically, you just find yourself at the middle of this timeline. The city council minority leader wrote, we were completely blindsided when the mayor sucker punched us with his reversal after a deal was done. You're supposed to be able to take them at their word. You took a socialist at his word and a Muslim at their. A socialist Muslim at his word. Come on, that one's kind of on you.

[B]

It is on them.

[C]

Yes.

[A]

What did he do? He increased the budget for the Department of cultural affairs, though, by 7%. So fewer cops, but cultural affairs to $323 million. Which does things like provide illegal. Illegals with free one year memberships to 33 cultural centers, fund political art on topics like gun violence, hate crimes, equitable infrastructure, subsidize housing for artists. So the good news is when you pass out from heat stroke and you're raped by a hobo and no cops show up, once you're done with it, you can go and create some kind of installation regarding hate crimes and abstract postmodern art. So, you know, you take the good with the bad. Call this Ode to a Prolapsed Anus. It's just. Yes, think about that. This is new. Yeah. No, we're not gonna. It's an exact reversal of the legitimate role of government. Look, this is where libertarians get it wrong. Where libertarians say there's no. Of course there's a legitimate role of government in a city like New York. A legitimate effective police force with the proper constraints is one of them.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

Subsidizing housing for artists is not. It's like he watched Rent one time. I got an idea.

[B]

Yeah, well, here's. It's also counterproductive. Artists need the struggle so that they

[A]

can produce great art. That's exactly right.

[B]

You just leave them on the street, let them go through hell, and then they'll paint a nice painting at some point in the future.

[C]

But Picasso didn't have a timeshare.

[B]

See what I mean? If you make it too easy, the art sucks.

[A]

Gotta make it gritty. AC Is the biggest separator of civilization it is so important. I went through a drive through at a Chick fil a the other day in a whale. I said to the guy, hey, it's gonna be toasty today. He looked at me and he's standing in front of a Coke machine size AC unit. He turns it on, looks back at me, and points to the ceiling fan above his head. I'll be fine. And that's unbelievable. America, pro ac. Communist socialists, anti ac. Yes.

[C]

And what's ironic is they call themselves progressive. They want to take away shit like ac. Yeah, they're going backwards.

[A]

That's what happens.

[C]

And they call themselves progressive.

[A]

Well, that's the thing. Progress for the sake of progress with no fundamental values. It's just. We just got to keep moving anywhere. And then at a certain point, they go, maybe they're the bad guys. Except they never have that realization.

[C]

Anything but democracy, you know? Keep.

[A]

You think Monet was in a hostel with roommates. I don't know. Sounds like New York is definitely taking a page for the European playbook. And by the way, what they voted for, that's what they want. If you don't want this and you're in New York, you need to leave. If you're a New Yorker looking at the forecast this weekend, it very well could be your worst nightmare. It's your worst nightmare. Your car broke down, but that's not really your worst nightmare. I can name you several things that are worse. You find out that bull sharks are fresh water adaptive, so you call off your vacation for safety purposes. Then you find out the lake house was on a lake that is landlocked. Why'd you cancel your vacation, dummy. But you find out lemon squeezy ain't so easy. TSA finds your luggage vibrating.

[B]

Please, for the love of God, just read it as it appears on the prompter.

[A]

Yeah, well, that thing ain't working, hot shot. It's your worst nightmare. Your teleprompter stops working in the middle of a cheap ass shoot, and so you don't know what to do. And the director keeps. Because it's the only thing he knows. Take five. Look, it may not be my worst nightmare, but you know who's paid historically far too much in car repair costs?

[C]

Me.

[A]

I wish I'd had car shield to help me out. They have low deductibles. An A rating from the Better Business Bureau in over 20 years. Customer satisfaction under their belt. Right now, Car Shield is offering your viewers 20% off with the code [e-mail] Crowder and if you don't try it, you might find yourself at the intersection of your worst nightmare. That's a wrap. You protect your vehicle from the unexpected. Go to carshield.com use code CROWDER for 20 off donkey show. I forgot that one. I realized that was Nick's first time seeing. Yes, yes, it is semi blackface, and they want more of it.

[C]

I thought you're doing a young Steven Seagal. That's. And I know what's wrong with the lady's car in the background. She had dry ice in the middle.

[A]

That'll do it.

[C]

Bad things.

[A]

Head things happened. I was the first keto black belt to run a dojo in Japan. I also married a woman and married Kelly LeBrock at the same time.

[C]

Okay.

[A]

Raped people, had 400 street fights.

[C]

I'm a real. Now I play guitar.

[A]

But Jean the bell made me my pants. It was an exotic joke. I was unfamiliar. The one you learned at White Belt in your first ju class. Allegedly. Allegedly. He never actually sexually assaulted anyone. He's in Russia just because he likes the scenery. All right, speaking of scenery, remember this camp Brave Trails that we covered last summer? Well, the good news is there's kind of a win. But like communists, like Marxists do, they actually just have subverted the rules a little bit. Here's a refresher. So it turns out with this camp. I'm not gonna stop saying it. There's. It turns out there's more. A whole lot more. We're gay summer camp directors.

[B]

Of course we know your name pronouns and big three.

[A]

Then after, do you know your bmi? To our camp line meeting, where each

[B]

day we raise a different identity flag of the queer community. What do you have, like, 700 days from Bray, Charles?

[A]

Yeah, it's me.

[C]

Because I'm me.

[A]

Someone shove her in. She's not even just saying that. You're a big fat phony. She then came back on. Oh, my God. Welcome. They're back in session this year, but with the following announcement. Because, oh, boy, a lot of you wrote some letters. They put this out on their Instagram. As we began welcoming campers this summer, we'll call them campers.

[B]

Future victims.

[A]

Future. That's a lofty. You overestimate my patience. We're pressing pause. I don't know why they. I don't. I don't know if you know this. All the counselors sound like Paul Lynn

[C]

the director.

[A]

Sounds like Charles Nelson Riley. Right? When it's parent counselor Day, we send them to the wrong place.

[C]

Can I see that polar bear Jump out of the wheelchair again.

[A]

The polar plunge. You mean the one who wasn't disabled? Yeah, the polio when she just realized she floated Bipolar.

[C]

They're angry at life because look at them. They're just fucking useless.

[A]

So she's though wrote as we. I'm gonna start this again.

[B]

Do it again.

[A]

As we begin welcoming campers this summer, we're pressing pause on sharing photos and videos from this camp season, creating a safe, present, connected and unaccountable experience for our community which will always come first. Mark your calendars for August 16th when our afterglow series begins. Yes, an Afterglow series. That's how it's titled for children. Each week, we'll take you behind the scenes of an unforgettable summer at Brave Trails and share the stories, friendships, trauma, and adventures that made this season so special. So no pictures, no videos because we went through their entire catalog. Let's put the link in the description. You guys can go watch it. I think we did a whole episode on it almost. However, the camp is actually inspired because. Because Disney will never be outdone if they see an opportunity inspired. The new children's classic Heavy gaze. Yeah. Oh, wow. New slogan is Shh. Don't tell. Luckily, we were actually able to still obtain our undercover unit. That's what you support with your membership. Some undercover footage of a counselor playing capture the flag at one of their early season camps.

[B]

I captured the flag.

[A]

Pride, Victory. Yes. That's what I'm rich.

[C]

Is that AI the Stomach?

[B]

I don't actually have to, like, do anything to a guy, right?

[A]

Come on. That's the debt giveaway. Everything else, you know, you could buy. But Gerald with washboard.

[C]

You guys are pretty good shape for a gay priest. Like there's any other kind.

[A]

That's the secret. What's the secret? Max, name that movie line. So. By the way, if you. Like I said, if you haven't checked out our Camp Brave Trail special on Rock Rumble, click the link in the description. We provide it with all the references like we do. So you'll have that link and references for everything in this show. We put that up every show. 11am as we stream. Let's go on to student loans. There's a lot to get to here, but new rules. Okay, some new rules. With student loans. Government created the problem, then government subsidized the problem, then government subsidized a solution to the problem, which made it worse. And then Joe Biden effectively. You know what? You actually don't need to pay for any of this. It's been a racket. There are some rule changes largely positive from President Trump. Let's start with this. Do you remember when Joe Biden promised to unconstitutionally, and knowingly, unconstitutionally forgive student loans?

[C]

I made a commitment.

[A]

I made a commitment that would provide

[C]

student debt relief, and I'm honoring that commitment today.

[A]

95% of the borrowers can benefit from these actions.

[C]

That's 43 million people.

[A]

Is this unfair to people who paid their student loans or chose not to take out loans that husk?

[C]

Is it fair to people who in fact do not own multibillion dollar businesses?

[A]

If she wants these guys, give them all a tax break.

[C]

Is that fair?

[A]

What? What do you think? What about people who pay their loans

[B]

so struggle to pay their loans and out others don't have to?

[C]

That's a good question. Is the date wrong in the up left hand corner?

[A]

Oh, was it? Well, what are the dates? That's a good catch. It was the future. It was a future. What did the date say?

[C]

I'm sorry. It was a future.

[A]

August 2026. Oh, okay.

[C]

Yeah.

[B]

Well, somebody's fired.

[A]

You know what? Let's just explain. Let's just play noodles. He already screwed up once today.

[C]

All right.

[B]

Great job, Noodles.

[A]

By the way, we typically only blame people who, you know, they have job security. The rest of you out there, I don't know. And by the way, if I fire any of you, I'm gonna have Nick do it.

[B]

Yes, just fly him in.

[C]

I'm coming in the bathroom.

[B]

While doing.

[A]

Now you have some new rules. We'll get to the exact rules from President Trump. They're going to take effect. And of course, the usual entitled suspects are bitching.

[C]

People are gonna see their student loan repayment bills skyrocket the same way their health insurance has skyrocketed of some natural factor happening in the economy. But specifically because of Trump and Republicans

[A]

legislation, these sweeping changes are taking effect for millions of Americans with federal student loans. As former President Biden's save plan officially comes to an end. President Trump's big beautiful bill came with provisions forcing people to switch to a new repayment plan. For some, it'll mean they suddenly have to pay more every month. And what are you guys spiraling about? It's the fact that you guys can't stop asking questions about student loans. I'm right there with you. I personally have a lot of questions because I am a student loan borrower. You don't say I can never get ahead in this.

[C]

You had to borrow to go to DeVry. Americans will be thrown off of their. Get this guy a brush. Student loan repayment. He prefers a balloon known as the Sand Plan. And into a much more expensive plan.

[A]

Is his morning routine just going into the Museum of Science. That plasma room looks good to me. Oh, he looks like he got off

[C]

the back of a motorcycle.

[A]

Exactly. He's riding. I'm like a great old lady.

[C]

I think teachers should be played like professional ball players.

[A]

That sounds more like Nixon. But no, it does not.

[C]

He's not a crook. You're right. It's a Jew. Nixon. This about Michaels?

[A]

Is that a San Fermenty accent?

[C]

It's a jixon.

[A]

Now, let me explain to you too, because I understand, by the way, student tuition is out of control. We've done a whole special on that. You know what? Let's put a link in the description to that, too, where we've talked about that. Thomas Solo, someone you should very much read on this. This is something that's been discussed quite a bit. It's not that complicated to understand. But the left wants you to believe that it is so that they can condition you to believe that you are a victim. And by that, I mean those who have taken out loans that they can never pay back for degrees that are largely useless. It's a racket. Let me explain to you how we got here. And the links are in the description. So first, the federal government, they spend billions of dollars, Billions of dollars in grants, student loans, all that. Right? All kinds of subsidies. Now, you need to know this. For every $100 in government subsidies, universities raise tuition by about $60. So take billions of dollars now. Now every time. $100 in subsidies, right? This is an equation that people have done. Economists far more brilliant than I. You can go check the references. Goes up by $60. So since 1963, tuition has gone up 750% even after adjusting for inflation.

[B]

And the Internet. Yeah, like you can go to school online.

[A]

The current federal student loan debt is $1.6 trillion. So people take up federal loans for useless degrees. They don't pay. Then Biden basically forgives them. That's what happens. Government creates the problem. All right, let's put some more subsidies, a grant and a lot of these. Kind of like the. Remember the subprime, right, the affordability and housing. It was predicated on the idea that you needed to help those who were underprivileged, largely minority people. Right. So they need to be able to get in. So the grants, the scholarships, make up for an unaffordable tuition. Well, if you're a university, what are you going to do? You're going to immediately make everything unaffordable. Ah, you can only afford 10,000. Okay, well it's 40,000, but you know, Uncle Sam makes up the 30. If they don't do that, they would be leaving money on the table. They are incentivized to do so.

[C]

Right.

[A]

Then the government steps in and says, you know what, we're gonna back these loans. And really if you don't pay them back, you know the government's going to be doing this.

[B]

Absolutely. I just want you to keep this in the back of your mind as we're explaining this. Remember, these are indoctrination factories. Why would the federal government that want every single person to go to school to get useless degrees? I'm not talking about people going and getting very useful degrees to be productive and educated in society, but keep them out of trade schools, keep them out of working and going to smaller community college, keep them in these indoctrination factories and make sure that the money never stops. Why would they want that?

[A]

Well, yes.

[C]

Oh, I was gonna say that point would have been much more credible without that tuxedo T shirt on.

[A]

That's true. A little bit tough to pick. So let me. Everybody's a critic. Let me give you a little bit of the Rachel Maddows line. She says, due to no naturally occurring economic issues. That is the point. This can't occur in nature. No, it can't. Everything that happened in pricing university, this unholy alliance with government, this is not an economic force. This is an artificial pressure on something. Yeah. And her choice of words is perfect. And it's the same thing when you're talking about the housing market and the housing crash. It was the same thing. You have no income, you have no assets. Oh, but you're the right kind of minority. No money down. Here you go. Here's a house that you absolutely cannot afford. I was, look, before I get into the then and now, the rules here, how they've changed. I had this conversation with someone, I won't give you his name, but military veteran yesterday. I said, hey, did you, do you have any student loans? No. He said, no. I said, but have you taken out any other kind of a loan or line of credit? He said, yes. Okay, let me ask you this question. Have you ever taken out a loan or a line of credit? It's a two part question. And then found yourself surprised that you would have to pay it back. And he laughed. I said, that's the situation.

[B]

Here. Exactly.

[A]

Same thing happened with homes, by the way. People couldn't afford them so they didn't make payments. They should have been foreclosed upon. Right. The government said, you better give these houses to these people. By the way, we're the ones who are gonna pay for it. That's the key detail here. They didn't get foreclosed upon. People stayed in a lot of homes. And guess what? The prices of houses, they keep going up and up and up because there's no market correction. People use the term predatory lending. Remember that term? It was very famous. He said, predatory lending had the same conversation with someone who is inherently conservative, but maybe not up to speed on these issues. I said, so you've taken out a loan before credit? He said, yeah. I said, how does a bank, it's not a trick question. How does a bank make money? I said, it's okay. He goes, they make money on the interest. I said, exactly right. So how could a bank, or why would they be predatory and going, you have no income, no assets and guaranteed no way to pay this loan back. Here's $100,000, here's $200,000. How does that make sense? Let me add one caveat. The government says if you don't do it, you're punished. By the way, we're the ones who are gonna pay it no matter what. Oh, now it's a different market. That's why they don't. Correct. That's why you haven't seen the market corrections with tuition, with housing, with, by the way, air travel, in a lot of ways with automobiles. So let's go specifically to student loans. Hopefully that helps with a macro. You guys let me know if that, that helped as a little, little bit of a briefer then the Biden rules. So they were either low or no monthly payments. The loan forgiveness was for low income borrowers. And by the way, that doesn't mean lower middle class Americans who are paying taxes. You are paying for those loans.

[C]

Yes.

[A]

It was one of the greatest wealth transfers in American history. Because you know what, if you were a student to a wealthy family who got a gender studies degree, but you were generating no income, guess what, You're a low income borrower and the electrician, his taxes are going to pay for your loan. The payments were kept at 10% of discretionary income and forgiveness. After 20 years, there was no cap on borrowing when getting student loans. Now this brings us to the new rules, the Biden rules, the unconstitutional guidelines scrapped. Now you have repayment plans for students. They can Pick from an income based repayment, fixed term repayments, they're 10, 15, 20 or 25 years or so. There's caps on borrowing, $20,000 a year, 65,000 lifetime per student, higher for grad students. And this is important because this should lower the price overall for university because it's not a free for all anymore. If they know that people can only get certain loans and that Uncle Sam isn't going to pick up the tab, they better start making it a little more affordable. All it takes is a couple of schools, a couple of universities to say, you know what, we're going to provide a service at a more affordable rate in 2026 when they have a smart device in their hand and everyone else has to follow suit. But of course people are upset about this because what happens is government creates a problem, government subsidizes the problem. Government gives you a freebie. Government tells you you don't have to pay back your loan. And then when someone comes in and says, we need to fix this problem and we all agree that the costs are out of control, this is how we're going. But now you're going to have to admit, now I'm going to have to pay back my loan. Wait, don't take Coca Cola from Snap. That's how socialists are so effective. You give someone an entitlement and you convince them that it's just that something to which they are entitled. Any correction feels like a wrong because they've gotten used to a manipulated market. So one educated woman posted this on X and it just went viral. She wrote, here's my student loan under Biden, $145,000 balance, monthly payment $32. My student loan under Trump now is 289,000. My monthly payment is 658. So hold on a second. I don't even know how you got the 289,000. Let's just take it at face value. Your loan under Biden, you know how you know socialism, people just say it's Santa Claus. It's a fairytale, her plan. And at no point did it occur to her that this may not be something within the bounds of reason. She was going to pay that loan back in 377 years.

[C]

What?

[A]

But it's forgivable after 20, right?

[B]

Give a while after 20. That's the point.

[A]

So why wouldn't the universities go, ah, it cost $100 million because Uncle Sam's gonna step in and pick up that tab.

[B]

By the way, I can prove that this is a BS Post. Now, I was able to do a little bit of research. The interest started accruing In August of 2025, after some of these rules went into place. Her loan would have gone up maybe 10,000 to $12,000 in the interest from August to July. That's 11 months. Ah, the entire thing is a fraud. Okay, this lady's viral post is entirely.

[A]

Why did she double her balance?

[B]

Exactly.

[A]

That's what he's saying.

[B]

It's not possible. From 140 to about 150. 152, maybe.

[A]

Maybe she.

[C]

Exactly.

[A]

She took out other loans, and she's just listing her.

[B]

She's trying to make it seem like, oh, my gosh, now I have almost twice as much money.

[A]

Guys, look what Trump did.

[B]

I'm like, no, he didn't do that.

[A]

Well, here's the thing. We don't know the exact math, but what we do know is her profile lists.

[C]

She.

[A]

Her pronouns. 35 years old, senior swifty, mom of four. I noticed no husband there. And attorney is her profession. Attorney.

[B]

You should be able to afford a little bit of payment.

[A]

So, look, I only. I was gonna pay this in 375 years, but now I have to pay what everybody else. Hold on a second. I just wanna make sure, too, that I'm not. Because sometimes it's easy to get lost in the weeds. If I'm getting this straight, the change is if I borrow money, I have to pay it back. That can't be right. Let's check the tape with the smartest man in the world. Oh, my God.

[C]

Looks right.

[A]

How do you like them apples? I love the language. Have to give back.

[B]

It's so stupid, man.

[A]

Same thing. I was speaking with that guy, military. I said, hey, do you. I said, do you pay tax? This. He just kind of, you know, this. We know who I'm talking about. He's a man of few words. And he goes. Just looks at me like this, you know, kind of like a Bruce Willis face. Just.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Why would you ask me that, Crowder? You know, that kind of thing. You pay tax. Not a trick question. He goes, yeah. I go, okay, so you're paying for those student loans. How does. How does that feel? And you could. I could tell he was enraged, but, you know, he has a really good poker face. We are not going to socialize the cost of your bad decisions anymore. You want to get a gender studies degree, fine. People in STEM fields, people in trades don't have these same problems. You need to start making better decisions. The good news is. The good news is it is easier than ever to become educated. I will say this. Isn't it amazing the complete financial illiteracy of so many Americans. Think about how much you go to school and you're taking out a loan to go to school. Anyone here actually learn how to balance a checkbook? Learn how to learn how to balance a budget? Learn how to deal with finance, how to deal with credit cards?

[B]

Anyone learn that?

[A]

And I didn't. I was never taught that. Hey, maybe we should start teaching people to actually be prepared for the real world or teach about colonization and its effect on the African squirrel nut gathering patterns.

[B]

Well, I hope, I hope this and the, you know, obviously the adoption of AI you can have a personal tutor for just about anything that you need. There obviously is some need for higher education. I'm not saying get rid of it. I'm just saying that probably about a third to a half of that industry is just a complete waste of time and money. And I want people to go into something more productive and not put their money and their time into this and not be indoctrinated into these crazy ways of life, basically. Andrew Wilson talks about this a lot. He says you're basically just going and then having sex for four years and just completely wasting your time and your money. And I know some people are like, well, hell, that sounds like a great idea. It's a bad idea.

[A]

Let me give you a very real world example, okay? The men who are required, the men who are going to be out there trying to fix the electrical grid and making sure that your AC works in New York City will be paying for the intelligent intelligentsia's gender studies degrees at Columbia and nyu. Those guys who are going to fix the city so you don't die of heatstroke. Their taxes will be paying for those in universities, proven taxes don't work.

[C]

We shouldn't have any tax. Yeah, it doesn't work.

[B]

It's.

[A]

It's at the point where it's imaginary.

[B]

Yeah.

[A]

Where they go, ah, we just printed $100 billion more dollars. Oh, you can just print more than. Why? Why tax me any? It sounds simplistic, but change my mind. I'll tell you where the math is easy.

[B]

You're a true.

[A]

You married a gal to balance your checkbook, didn't you?

[C]

What's that?

[A]

You married a gal to balance your checkbook.

[C]

Yeah, sure, whatever.

[A]

She's pretty sharp. Well, your miss is very sharp.

[C]

She had great tits. But you. Yes, she happened.

[A]

She could balance the checkbook.

[C]

She could. She can balance it. She can empty it out when I'm not looking.

[A]

That's all of them.

[C]

No, but. Yeah, No, I. I don't understand money. That's why I've been quiet this whole segment. I just don't.

[A]

You know what? It doesn't need to be that complex. More is better.

[C]

No, I know.

[A]

Spend less than you make. Spend less than you make. And if you borrow money, that's how I understand it. That's it. That's. That's my understanding of money. Yeah, my. My dad knows this. Like I've my whole life.

[C]

Like.

[A]

Well, I just got to make sure they spend less than I make, try and save as much as I can to invest it. And here's a simple question to ask yourself when you're dealing with finances, okay? If it's buying something, or it could apply to a degree or an experience, ask yourself, will this make my life measurably better in a way that is worth this cost? The answer most of the time is no. If it's a new tv, often. If it's a new car, if your car is still running, it's only a couple of years old, often. If it's some kind of a trip that you want to take, the answer is very, very often no.

[C]

Hooker.

[A]

Yeah, well, there are always exceptions. Now, speaking of exceptions, we used to think of this country as a country of Americans, right? It's not anymore. It's a geographical region with some succubus. Succubi people who come here to take advantage of our system. And of course, we have elected leaders who pander to that them for votes. But the good news is there are enough actual Americans still left that public shaming works. This is a contrast in Columbus and Buffalo, two places that either did or were going to raise the Somali flag around our Independence Day festivities. That brings us to Islam in the United States. Somalia. It's just incompatible. Ball. So. Oh, Jesus. What is with the spilling everything?

[B]

Spill stuff. Son of a gun.

[A]

Well, there goes my notepad. I Mean, look at all this. This was a gold mine.

[C]

That's the beginning.

[A]

It says hey Jude cartoons. There's a drawing of Muhammad there exploding. I remember that. Lost to the we can oxygen panels of time.

[C]

That's the first symptom of als.

[A]

Oh boy.

[C]

Spelling shit.

[A]

Every time someone get Jerry Lewis.

[B]

I thought you meant drawing Muhammad.

[A]

So first example, Buffalo. In Oller. In Holler. In honor. First example, Buffalo.

[B]

Hello.

[A]

In honor of Somali Independence Day. By the way, independent from what I

[C]

know from stuff like air conditioning, cars, roads, fucking indoor plumbing, no longer will

[A]

we be burdened by in 81 average IQ. All right. Bang another sister. That's generous. Raise your forehead. The city of Buffalo decided to hold a flag raising ceremony. Not the American flag.

[B]

So this flag will be raised all

[C]

the way to the top over there.

[A]

And this is the city hall in Buffalo, New York. And this. That is the flag of America. Okay, a couple of things. This was city sanctioned, just to be clear. Council member David Rivera wrote, this special ceremony is an opportunity to recognize and celebrate the rich heritage. Rich heritage, culture, contributions to Buffalo's Somali community together, blah, blah, blah, blah. So it was. It was city sanctioned. Okay, I just can't. I just can't read the rest of it. And I think this is treason. Remember, the United States classifies Somalia as a terrorist safe haven. To raise a. Not just a foreign nation. To raise a foreign adversarial, hostile, terrorist safe haven nation's flag around our Independence Day at a sanctioned government building. Treason. It's not getting close. It is to me, just to be clear. And they canceled their fourth of July fireworks. Also to rub salt. And now they said it was because they couldn't find the right place to do it. Bullshit. I don't believe it. I don't believe it. And also when they're talking about the rich heritage and contributions. We don't have them in Buffalo. Well, let's talk about somalis in Minnesota. 81% are on some form of welfare. Over a billion dollars stolen. And welfare fraud scams at the. Over a third of them don't speak English at all. Okay, they're not. We don't need your doctors. We don't need your engineers. Let's look at the definition of treason. You guys tell me if you think I'm an extremist. I think these people should be charged with. Put on trial for treason. Definition. The offense of attempting by overt acts to overthrow the government of which this. Of the state to which the offender owes allegiance or to kill or personally injure the sovereign or the sovereign's family. Well, that's a different one. That's not applying here, but yeah. Raising your flag. Raising the American flag is to say, my allegiance is to this country, this nation above all other nations. To raise another nation's flag and yes. Particularly around July 4th, is to show greater allegiance or to give greater importance to a foreign nation, one that is hostile and a terrorist safe haven. At the very least, it's a legal gray area.

[B]

By the way, it wouldn't have offended the 17 people that decided to show up for that.

[A]

Right.

[C]

Yeah. How many Somalis in Buffalo? Number one.

[A]

You'd think all of them would show up. None of them work.

[C]

You notice they're all, you know, Somalis are very big since Trump went after Minneapolis and all the fraud. You notice you can't put on the news right now about Somalia, how great it is.

[A]

It's like Haitians for a while.

[C]

Cookies. Yes.

[A]

The other day you mentioned. It's not like it's a lesser country country. It's arguably the worst of all countries. It's the worst. And maybe you could argue kick the can. World cup thing is that we're. We're taking America down to their level.

[B]

Yes.

[A]

That's it.

[B]

That's the only time where we started on this.

[A]

Yeah. It's where we're. We're suddenly on the same level as.

[B]

Disagree more. We'll talk. We'll save it for mug.

[A]

They're allowed to compete. We're not going to save it for mug.

[B]

Fair.

[A]

Arguably the worst country there. I don't even know if you could. It is Somalia.

[B]

Probably.

[A]

Name a contribution. I don't mean the Buffalo community. Would you contribute? Go Somalia. Anything.

[C]

Anything. Mustache wax.

[A]

I think maybe some kind of new rapier sword to try and. You know.

[B]

Unbelievable.

[A]

I can't believe we even have these discussions.

[B]

Stole that from.

[A]

Probably just stole it. Yeah. Well, here's the thing. So Buffalo. They did that. That's terrible. Now Columbus, they were going to. So this was yesterday. The Columbus Parks and Rec Department put out a post saying that city hall would be raising the Somali flag. And then they got massive, massive blowback and it was deleted. Now, their claim, just to be clear, is that. Well, the. Sorry, the post was a mistake. It was a goof. Spokesperson for the mayor's office said, well, the city recognizes and respects the aspirations of people around the world to live in freedom. This post was inaccurate and has been deleted. No, no, it's very clear. Here's the truth. That's clearly a lie. They are on record, meaning Columbus passing multiple resolutions to celebrate Somali Independence Day. Here's an example from 2023. To celebrate Somalia's Independence Day and recognize the raising of the Somali flag at the Ohio State House.

[B]

State House.

[A]

They only changed course because of public pressure. Also, I don't think that someone raising the Somali flag, the Somalian flag, I don't think that in any way symbolizes their desire to live in freedom. They're raising the flag of a nation that has never had any.

[B]

Yeah, raise our flag, the nation that gave you freedom.

[A]

Yes. So then they go, oh, we just. That was just a mistake. No, it wasn't. That means that what you do works. So when people say there are no feedback mechanisms. No, no, no. You still do have the power. You still can exert public pressure. Keep in mind, Ohio. Not all. I don't want to, but it's. It's a horrible place. This is a state that elected this guy two times.

[C]

Not all. Ohio.

[A]

You want to come over here, give me a little snuggle? My daughters are at home and I haven't been able to get a snuggle from them.

[C]

Huh. What? A snuggle.

[A]

Can you smile at the cameras?

[B]

Now you're molesting them.

[C]

Oh, my God. Huh?

[A]

By the way, if you want to call the Columbus mayor's office, the Phone number is 614-645-7671. Or you can email officeofthemayorolumbus.gov Keep it. You know, keep it civil, keep it respectful, but let them know, especially if you are in Columbus or you're in Ohio, that you have a problem with it. How? Yes, this is traitorous, but what happened, Gerald?

[B]

Somebody put a tack in my seat. What, are we in fourth grade or something?

[A]

Who would do such an inconvenient thing? It is I, the phantom of the studio. Applejack, what are you doing? Where? I'll just.

[B]

I'll just.

I've been taking it for over a decade and I just can never say it right. By the way, have you ever seen a Somalian pirate hit by a water cannon or a sound cannon? No, but I want to. It's delightful. Can you actually watch it? Are you sure they're Somalian? Well, pirates, pirates and rowboats coming out of the yachts and the non lethal methods of, of protection on the ocean. You can't, you can't have guns. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Well, let's, let's bring those up for, for ra.

[B]

Rumble priming, for mug club grenades, rocket launchers.

[A]

Well, the, the water cannons. It's, it's an unlimited source. So you just pop it right out of the sea and blast them. Yeah, and if I, I wouldn't even filter it. Like, ah, I got eaten the face

[B]

of the starfish like a mackerel.

[C]

Throw a bar of soap when you shoot a hat.

[A]

I just go where I know there's a lot of jellyfish with the. Finland. There's no good way to get to Finland. It's so boring. But tensions in Finland now are boiling over quite a bit. And you know, it's funny because Finland took a while because a lot of the refugees under Obama, they went to Finland and they left because I thought it was too cold and it was too boring. But now, you know, there's so many migrants that like, ah, I guess Finland will do. And people there are fed up with it too. Now people see this and say, what he's saying is. And yeah, of course the way he's saying that's not what you say, should say, but I guarantee you it's reflective of a sentiment of policy failure. And you're seeing a real shift in European politics in general for very good reason. Let me give you some numbers here. The Muslim population In Finland in 2010 was about 42,000. Today it's 150,000. Now you might just say, well, who cares unless you're a racist. All right, well, let's look at some crime statistics. If you look at immigrants versus the native Finns, Syrians are 15 times more likely to commit some kind of sexual assault or sexual offense. Afghan immigrants 12.3 times more likely. Iraqis, 10 and a half times more likely Somalis, 6 and a half times more likely. They just don't have the stamina to get it done most of the time.

[C]

Yeah. Really? £11.

[A]

So this is what's happening. You're going to see like you could either deal with this through policy where you know, maybe 42,000 before it gets to 150,000, once it gets to 50, 60,000. And people say this is a problem, it's unsustainable, they're incompatible. You do something instead of. Instead, European representatives have told their own population, you know what, you guys are racist. You guys need to accept it. Now they deal with the crimes. Now they deal with the financial non viability of their countries. And they become more aggressive. You breed more vitriol. And I will say the woman in Texas obviously said it much better. You guys saw this. Her givesend go, by the way, is up to $240,000 right now. This lady. So you can go and give to her, hey, you may not. Here's the thing. You may not like the way that she said it or certainly I would disagree with the way the guy there, the words he was using. That's not how I would approach it. But I guarantee you, if you sat this guy down, he could give you an explanation. And he was probably pissed at the end of his rope. And that's how he. I'm done. We need to be done with embodying someone, crystallizing them in a moment of frustration. Okay? People are pissed. They voice their opinions, they've proposed policies specifically as it relates to immigration, specifically as it relates to government spending and how you deal with this. And they have been ignored. And so now you hear them yelling, who is it? Who said riots are the language of the unheard?

[B]

That's what I heard. Listen, listen. Mean words. Fine. What was he saying? You better pay attention to what these people are saying because it is happening very, very quickly. That people are losing patience and going, fine, screw it, nobody's going to do anything about this. I will.

[A]

Well, they're calling off speaking Finnish. And she didn't understand a word he said, right?

[C]

No, exactly. But it's the globalist. Like I said, the 10 people running the planet, they have a plan and they're calling our bluff. They're saying the everyday Americans aren't gonna get off his ass and pick up a gun and start. They're just, this is a big fucking play and it's headed to one direction. I'm glad I'm 64. That's all I'm gonna say.

[A]

Well, there have been. Yeah, there have been some wins, though, with significant wins with President Trump. What have been going on? And I think. I think people need to. Need to realistically assess, okay, when do you get that point where you've crossed the line of no return? We're not there. That's why we fight like hell every day. But once it gets to that point, you need to have an honest conversation with yourself. That's why you'll never hear me say that political violence is never appropriate. Certainly isn't right now. There's definitely a time where it will be. What's Finland's contribution?

[C]

You know what? Blonde hair, blue eyes, nice asses.

[A]

Timu Solani. There were some good players, but this guy was tougher than any Finnish player, I'll tell you that right now.

[C]

Yeah.

[A]

Was Forsberg Finnish? No, he's Swedish. I defer to noodles on all this. He's. He's more current in hockey than anybody.

[C]

Yes. I don't know the difference in Norway, Denmark.

[A]

All right. Oh, my gosh, we've gone late. Did you guys have a clip that you're sending me or those? We're just going to go to. Straight to chat. Straight to chat. Okay, guys, if you, if you're not yet a member of Rumble Premium, it's going to get wild and woolly. We're going to pull up some videos of pirates getting blown away by starfish. Click that button.
