Louder with Crowder: "New Video & New Maps: Why Both are Boning Democrats"

Date: January 29, 2026
Host: Steven Crowder and co-hosts
Main Theme:
A breakdown of newly surfaced video evidence related to police violence (specifically the Alex Preddy incident), media narratives, demographic and electoral changes, and how illegal immigration and red-blue state migration will reshape America’s political future—arguing these trends disadvantage Democrats long-term.

Episode Overview

Steven Crowder and his panel analyze new footage surrounding the shooting of Alex Preddy in Minneapolis, dissect media and activist responses, and argue against mainstream left-wing narratives on police violence. The episode then transitions into a deep-dive on shifting electoral maps; the hosts assert that demographic migration and the exclusion of illegal immigrants from census counts could doom Democrats in national elections. The final segments address European criticism and “suicidal empathy”, drawing contrasts between U.S. and European policies on crime and immigration.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Alex Preddy Shooting: Media vs. Reality

• [07:40] – [23:00]
• New Video Insights: Crowder shares new video footage of Alex Preddy—previously portrayed as a peaceful ICU nurse victim—showing him kicking out a federal agent’s taillight and escalating with a visible gun days before the fatal incident.
  • Crowder asserts that such video evidence contradicts legacy media portrayals of Preddy as innocent:

    “That means they always knew it was a lie. Here is the latest video of Alex Preddy and his interactions with the officers, the peace loving nurse that we all know him to be.” – Crowder [17:55]

  • The show critiques media narratives that ignore criminal actions in favor of martyrdom tales.

  • Recurring Pattern Identified: The panel argues that high-profile cases (Trayvon Martin, Michael Brown, George Floyd, etc.) all involve individuals “violently breaking the law at that moment.”

    “The one common thread here, it's not race... It is every single example of it, they were violently breaking the law in that moment.” – Crowder [27:20]

  • Advice for Parents:
    • If you don’t break the law or escalate with police, you will not face such consequences (“100% will live, guaranteed” – [28:20]).

2. Critique of Media and Celebrity Reactions

• [29:30] – [38:00]

• Samples from the left-leaning press, celebrities, and commentators romanticizing Preddy’s life or downplaying his criminal conduct are played.

  “You saw testimonials from people who knew Alex Preddy, who could confirm that he was a literal choir boy and an ICU nurse. He's too old to get choir boy with dignity.” – Crowder [35:00]

• The show mocks the deification of public-sector employees (especially VA workers), regarding such narratives as manipulative.

3. Electoral Map Changes: Why Demographics Are Destiny

• [47:00] – [1:09:00]

• Migration and Electoral Votes:
  Crowder details Carnegie Mellon projections for 2030 — blue states will lose 13 electoral votes (CA, NY, etc.), red states gain 13, due to internal migration.

  “If we follow through on deporting... Republicans, conservatives, could theoretically not win a single Rust Belt swing state and still win the national election.” – Crowder [52:09]

• Impact of Illegal Immigration:
  • If illegal immigrants were excluded from the census, the electoral advantage for Democrats would plummet further.

  • State-by-state comparison of illegal alien populations vs. 2020 vote margins—Crowder claims removing illegal votes alone would flip swing states and make Democrat wins mathematically impossible.

    “Democrats could never mathematically win another national election ever again.” – Crowder [11:30]

• Voter Behavior Questioned:

  • Argues most “walk away” voters drifted from Democrats to Trump, not the reverse.

    “I don't know anyone who voted Trump, Biden, Trump. And you would have to have millions of people who did that for that election to make sense.” – Crowder [1:12:00]

  • The panel maintains the only path forward is deportations and citizen-only census counts.

4. European Parallels: "Europe Sucks"

• [1:09:00] – [1:25:00]

• European Critique Mocked:
  Crowder lampoons European media and politicians for criticizing U.S. immigration enforcement while facing their own crises (e.g., high rates of assault and rape in France and the UK, terror and crime spikes in Germany).

  “The French, with... suicidal empathy. Like, they know it's not working. They know... their nation is broken. And they're still telling you... how you should govern your country.” – Crowder [1:13:30]

  • Ridicules U.K. restaurant critic Giles Coren who stated he cancelled a U.S. trip for safety, only to be confronted with statistics showing more frequent assaults in London.

    Giles Coren: “Safest place on earth it is.”
    Lawrence Fox: “rate reported every 54 minutes in London.”
    Giles Coren: “…Oh, I just googled it. Looks like it's true. Fuck.” ([1:16:30])

• Argues that left-wing empathy in Europe led to policy failure, referencing near-weekly attacks by migrants.

5. Why the Panic? “Democrats Can't Win Again”

• [1:27:00] onwards

• Crowder synthesizes: Democrats’ existential panic is due to losing the long-term demographic game if illegal migration is curtailed and red state migration continues.

  “Do you understand the importance of this?… That’s why the Biden administration, by design, opened up the borders… They wanted the Democrat Party to win forevermore…” – Crowder [1:31:20]

• European and Democratic Elites:
  Claims international actors and U.S. liberals manipulate Americans with appeals to “humanity” for their self-interest.

  “Their liberal, their leftist brethren in Europe, they want to manipulate you through feelings so that you destroy your country.” – Crowder [1:28:10]

6. Tom Holman’s Perspective

• [1:38:00]
• Former ICE Director Tom Holman is highlighted as an immigration authority who refuses to “surrender the mission” and says real discussions with opponents are necessary to solve these issues.

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• The “Through Line” Thesis:
  • “If you were to give advice to your children, would you say, don't be black around an officer? …Or would you say... do not go out and break the law… you 100% will live, guaranteed.” – Crowder [28:20]
• On Media’s Shifting Narratives:
  • “If it's something... everyone can see crimes being committed... but the narrative stays the same anyway from the left, that means it was a premeditated narrative and they have to stick to it.” – Crowder [18:30]
• Mocking Celebrity Hot Takes:
  • “John Leguizamo for sure. He's a guy you want to go to if you want the wrong take.” – [1:05:10]
  • On the UK: “There’s a rate reported every 54 minutes in London. Really?... Oh, I just googled it. Looks like it's true. Fuck.” – Giles Coren, then commentary [1:16:30]
• On Europe’s Self-Inflicted Woes:
  • “The more we mimic Europe, the left, the more we implement their policies, the more we look like them.” – Crowder [1:20:15]
• Summing up the Stakes:
  • “If we deport illegal aliens and make sure that our census accurately represents American citizens… Democrats can’t win.” – Crowder [1:33:55]

Tone & Style

The episode’s tone is aggressive, irreverent, and overtly partisan, blending mockery and dark humor with profanity and blunt political argument. Crowder and the team employ satire—especially when discussing celebrities and European critics—but return to a didactic, polemical voice when establishing their political arguments (“If you don’t use this as a teaching moment for your kids, then you’re a bad parent.”).

Conclusion

Crowder’s central argument throughout is that the left’s narratives around police violence and martyrdom are built on falsehoods exposed by evidence; that demographic and migratory trends are dooming Democrat prospects outside of elite enclaves; and that both European and liberal American elites are not to be trusted for solutions, as their own policies have created chaos and crime. The takeaway: follow strict immigration and census policies, and emulate neither Europe nor media handwringing for a better America.
