Introduction and Overview

In this episode of Louder with Crowder, host Steven Crowder delves into two primary topics: the controversial sentencing of former UFC champion Cain Velasquez and the influence of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) in American politics. Crowder aims to dissect the Signal app debacle, address misconceptions surrounding anti-Semitism, and critically analyze AIPAC's lobbying practices. The co-host, Josh Feuerstein, joins in to provide additional commentary and humor throughout the discussion.

Cain Velasquez's Sentencing and Vigilante Justice

[05:14] Steven Crowder opens the discussion with the recent sentencing of Cain Velasquez, who was involved in a shooting incident related to his son's alleged molestation case. Velasquez pleaded no contest to attempted murder and other charges, resulting in a five-year sentence, including time served.

• Crowder's Perspective:

  • [07:07] "Our justice system may have a problem when a man who shoots someone not proven guilty yet tries to take vigilante justice."
  • [08:05] Crowder expresses disappointment that Velasquez remains a danger to individuals who molest children but is not seen as a societal threat overall.

• Co-host Commentary:

  • [09:31] Josh Feuerstein sarcastically refers to the victim, highlighting the perceived imbalance in sentencing.

• Critical Analysis:

  • [10:54] Crowder questions the left’s inconsistent stance on law and order, emphasizing the need for both rehabilitation and punishment.
  • [11:00] Feuerstein adds, "He'll be... [Velasquez] serve one year in prison after getting credit for time served."

• Notable Quote:

  • [06:41] Crowder states, "What are we doing here? This man has never been a danger to anyone else... He exclusively shot at someone he believed molested his son."

Crowder argues that the sentencing reflects a systemic failure to adequately punish those who take the law into their own hands, especially in cases involving child molestation.

The AIPAC Question Addressed

Understanding AIPAC

[27:04] Crowder introduces AIPAC, defining it as a powerful lobbying group advocating for American support of Israel. He highlights the group's significant financial contributions to both Democratic and Republican candidates, questioning its influence on American politics.

Claims vs. Truth

Crowder employs a "Claim vs. Truth" format to debunk common assertions about AIPAC.

1. Claim: AIPAC is a highly conservative organization whose election funding imposes strict support for Israel on lawmakers.

   Truth:

   • [33:52] "AIPAC donates significantly more to Democrats and Republicans. They do donate a lot to Republicans. Again, their only qualifier is do you support Israel? Period."
   • [33:53] Crowder notes, "In 2024, Democrat candidates received from AIPAC: $19.1 million. Republicans: $15.7 million."

2. Claim: AIPAC is the most influential lobbying group in the United States.

   Truth:

   • [38:28] "AIPAC ranked 191st behind groups like the National Association of Realtors, Chamber of Commerce, and Meta."
   • [38:30] "In 2023 to 2024, specifically their direct contributions, AIPAC ranked 18th behind groups like ActBlue, WinRed, Future Forward USA."

3. Claim: AIPAC solely focuses on lobbying for Israel.

   Truth:

   • [41:14] "Other PACs that advocate here for foreign nations include the U.S. India Political Action Committee, Armenian National Committee of America, and Taiwan's Formosan Association of Public Affairs."
   • Crowder emphasizes the need for transparency across all foreign lobbying groups, not just AIPAC.

4. Claim: AIPAC must register under the Foreign Agents Registration Act (FARA).

   Truth:

   • [43:19] "All of these groups should have to register with FARA. AIPAC should not be singled out."
   • [43:45] Crowder argues for rule changes to ensure no foreign lobbying group evades registration.

Financial Influence and Political Alignments

Crowder analyzes AIPAC's financial contributions, revealing a substantial investment in Democratic candidates:

• [35:27] "AIPAC gave $866,000 to Hakeem Jeffries, $519,000 to Debbie Wasserman Schultz, $480,000 to Kirsten Gillibrand, and only $8,000 to Nancy Pelosi."

He criticizes the prioritization of pro-Israel stances over other American constitutional principles such as the First and Second Amendments.

• Notable Quote:
  • [36:11] "Am I supposed to be on board with AIPAC? Does it make me anti-Semitic if I don't abandon my pro First Amendment principles, my pro Second Amendment principles, my pro-life principles?"

Crowder concludes that AIPAC's singular focus on Israel undermines broader American values and democratic principles.

Free Speech and Hypocrisy in Government and Academia

Accusations of Anti-Free Speech

Crowder addresses Jon Stewart's assertion that the Trump administration is hypocritical regarding free speech.

• [52:18] Crowder states, "Jon Stewart... he just disagrees with him. He claimed that President Trump and this administration are unbelievably hypocritical on free speech."

Campus Censorship

He provides examples of conservative speakers being banned from universities, highlighting what he perceives as discriminatory practices against conservative viewpoints.

• [53:46] "Conservative speakers from 1998 to now, 754 successful bannings or deplatformings by universities."

Crowder contrasts this with what he views as leniency towards left-leaning activism, such as student protests and property damage associated with groups like Students for Justice Palestine.

Government Policy on Language Use

Crowder critiques the Trump administration's policies on limiting certain terms to undo previous initiatives from the Biden administration.

• [57:42] "Government agencies have flagged hundreds of words to limit or avoid words like DEI, BIPOC, anti-racism, Latinx, Native American, black women, seemingly random words like expression at risk, political and even mental health and sex."

He argues that these policies are more about shifting language norms than addressing substantive issues.

• Notable Quote:
  • [58:13] "Former Vice President Biden... they can't say aliens. But that's what it's literally used to say on actual immigration papers."

Crowder emphasizes that these changes are superficial and do not contribute to genuine free speech or policy improvements.

Conclusion

Throughout the episode, Steven Crowder and Josh Feuerstein provide a critical examination of both the legal system's handling of vigilante justice and the political influence of AIPAC. Crowder underscores the importance of balancing national security with constitutional rights, advocating for transparency and fairness in both the judiciary and political lobbying. The hosts consistently challenge prevailing narratives, urging listeners to question established institutions and seek truth beyond media portrayals.

Key Takeaways:

• Justice System Concerns: The sentencing of Cain Velasquez raises questions about the efficacy and fairness of the American justice system, especially in cases involving personal vendettas against alleged child molesters.

• AIPAC's Influence: While acknowledging AIPAC's significant financial contributions to both political parties, Crowder argues that its influence is often overstated and calls for broader transparency among all foreign lobbying groups.

• Free Speech Hypocrisy: The hosts highlight perceived inconsistencies in free speech protections, pointing out that conservative voices often face censorship in academic and governmental settings.

• Language Policy Critique: Policies aimed at altering language use within government agencies are portrayed as superficial measures that fail to address deeper societal issues.

Listeners are encouraged to engage critically with these topics, reflect on the discussed issues, and participate in ongoing conversations about justice, political influence, and free speech in America.

[Josh Feuerstein]

Oh, with an I. Feierstein. Oh, yeah.

[Steven Crowder]

Okay. Get out.

[Josh Feuerstein]

You really are a Leave.

[Steven Crowder]

Get out.

[Unknown]

You.

[Steven Crowder]

Who is the last person you would accidentally or you would want to accidentally add to a group text? Your mother notwithstanding, we all know HR Sam, especially if it involves the ladies in your case. Guys, I was about to say goyam. Why we're going to be talking about the Jewish stuff a lot today, so call me names. Captain Morgan, CEO, glad to have you here. And Josh if I don't. Josh Firestein. Not Firestein on X, but then Josh underscore Firestein on Instagram because he's not banned.

[Josh Feuerstein]

Not underscore Jewish either. Right?

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Josh Feuerstein]

It's not a brag, it's just a fact letting you know. Sorry, Hollywood.

[Unknown]

We're going to piss everybody off today.

[Steven Crowder]

It's okay. We are going to be talking about apac. We're going to be talking about the Signal app. We're going to be talking about the left Jon Stewart, who now says that people on the right don't like and don't support free speech. We'll go through some claimed truths. You can hit the rundown there. Tool minute. I know I already did it, but there you go. And Cain Velasquez sentenced for shooting at the molester of his son. This is a hot button issue, just so you know. I'm not afraid to take the risky positions on the show as it relates to punishing or executing pedophiles. I'm pro. You can comment your grievance for it.

[Unknown]

I mean, even without trial. Sometimes it's just, you know, if the evidence is strong enough.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, like Russia.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Steven Crowder]

I mean they often fight there. That's why stab themselves 36 times in the back and they put themselves in shallow grave.

[Unknown]

Yes.

[Steven Crowder]

And the judge says, okay, oh, good enough for me. So yesterday, the former UFC champion Cain Velasquez was sentenced, including, by the way, some time served for a 2022 shooting incident that involved people in the car. Now, he shot someone who was driving the car, not the alleged child molester who had been systematically molesting his son at a daycare for a long period of time. And so Cain Velasquez did what most self respecting fathers would do. He tried to pew pew him. Five years. That's the sentence for former UFC champion Cain Velasquez.

[Unknown]

After the fighter pleaded no contest to.

[Steven Crowder]

Attempted murder and other charges, his lawyer asked the judge to release him on probation, but now expects Velasquez will ultimately.

[Unknown]

Serve one year in prison after getting.

[Steven Crowder]

Credit for time served in jail and in home confinement. I believe that in some ways justice was served today, despite feeling disappointed that he is back in custody. Now, to be clear, the Prosecuting attorney wanted 30 years.

[Unknown]

What?

[Steven Crowder]

What? 30 years. Velasquez shot at people in a car, included the man, Harry Goulart, or Harry Goulart, I've not heard it pronounced. Only Reddit, who allegedly was sexually assaulting his son, and by the way, multiple other children. And the reason that we have to say allegedly is because the child molester allegedly in question still hasn't been sentenced, still hasn't gone to court. And so this does beg the question, look, our justice system, yeah, I get it, we can have vigilante justice, I understand that. But when a man who shoots, who's never been a danger to society whatsoever, shoots someone who, with his verifiable proof from what he claims, molested his son, and the so called molester is still going through the process, at what point do we say, hey, our justice system maybe has a problem? And the judge said this when he actually announced the sentence, he said punishment comes in many ways, and one of the worst is forcing a father to not be present in his child's life. This is a tragic case. Mr. Danger is. Mr. Velasquez is not a danger to public safety. Mr. Danger was his amateur fighter name.

[Unknown]

That's before he made the ufc.

[Steven Crowder]

So it's really sad. I mean, here's the thing. I kind of get it, but look, what are we doing here? This man has never been a danger to anyone else. He doesn't have any kind of a violent criminal record. He exclusively shot at someone. Now, he missed. That was his problem. Who he believed molested his son. So he's really Only a danger to people who are molesting children. This guy doesn't need to be rehabilitated, doesn't need prison for that. And then it comes down to what degree of punishment? How much do we want to punish people who shoot pedophiles? I don't know. I'm conflicted. I would say time served. Good enough for me. Don't go shooting any more pedophiles that are on this logbook right now. What do you say?

[Josh Feuerstein]

That.

[Steven Crowder]

Gary Clausch. Yes.

[Unknown]

Yeah, exactly. And it's kind of funny, actually. If this judge says he's not a danger to society, that's actually better than normal. Because this guy's job was beating people up for a living. And he's not a danger to society. Most of those guys are.

[Josh Feuerstein]

Yeah, yeah, but not society. Just other people. He had to face in the other people.

[Unknown]

That's what I mean. It's like, hey, he's controlling it. This guy found a creative outlet instead of being a serial killer. Fantastic.

[Josh Feuerstein]

Which, by the way, if you're that child molester, I mean, you deserve every consequence that's coming at you just for the fact that you're a moron. Yeah, Just put him in Manifest destiny should take care of you because. Cause you molested a UFC champion son.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah.

[Josh Feuerstein]

What a retard.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, exactly. I would agree. And the left would be more offended at the use of retard than the man who molested a son. And to be clear, you know what? Maybe he's perverted. Maybe that's part of the thrill. It's the danger. It's the risk.

[Josh Feuerstein]

Oh, he's Mr. Danger.

[Steven Crowder]

Hold on.

[Unknown]

This is all a big ploy by Cain to get even with this guy. So the judge sentenced him. Wink, wink. Right. To put him in the same prison that that guy's gonna end up in, and justice will take care of himself.

[Steven Crowder]

Oh, dear Lord, I hope so.

[Unknown]

I mean, Kane's like, you're gonna give me. Fine. That's f. Hey, Harry.

[Steven Crowder]

Meet your new cellmate. Just Brown Pride. Oh, my God. And he's very American, though. What's funny is I don't like the brown Pride tattoo. It reads racist, because you know, it is. But that's neither here nor there. This is my issues. When you. We do live in a culture. We have had catch and release, no cash bail, or we have violent criminals who are a danger to society who walk free amongst us. And the left says, we have. We have mass incarceration problems. We need real rehabilitation, not just punishment. I think we need both by the way. And then in this instance, if you read some of the headlines and certainly reactions on social media, they seem to be all of a sudden back to law and order. Well, why doesn't that apply to all these other violent criminals? Why does it only apply when someone is exacting justice on a pedophile? Which again, you look at the sympathies and where they lie with the left with child attracted people. Was it minor attracted people. Maps, persons.

[Josh Feuerstein]

And the statistics show that when a pedophile is rehabbed in pr, they do it again.

[Unknown]

Yeah, yeah, that's true.

[Josh Feuerstein]

He'll be. Here's the thing you said though, it's. Maybe it's a part of the plan, you'll be in the same prison, yada, yada. Well, here's a more realistic thing is Kane's gonna get out in a year and a half, whatever it is, after time served, this child molester is going to go to jail for almost no time.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Josh Feuerstein]

And he's gonna have Cain Velasquez on his ass.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah. Yeah, I hope so.

[Unknown]

The rest of his life.

[Steven Crowder]

Yep.

[Unknown]

Now don't use a gun next time you're Kane Velasquez. Make him feel it. Little ground and bound. Work him a little bit.

[Steven Crowder]

Brass knuckles soften him up.

[Josh Feuerstein]

In a locked vehicle, I mean, he's not the Hulk.

[Steven Crowder]

Even bring someone with an air horn. So you like set rounds. Just so you sit him down for a while and stare them down so he knows more is coming.

[Unknown]

Give him an iv, it's a way.

[Steven Crowder]

And prop him up. Sit him down here. You got 24 hours before the fight. So here's a press reaction from. I think it's a San Francisco gate. It says former UFC heavyweight champ gets five year sentence for vigilante justice. Shooting case from time. Former UFC champion came to Alaska, sentenced to five years in prison for vigilante shooting spree.

[Unknown]

Shooting spree.

[Steven Crowder]

While at the same time many of these leftist publications either allowed, advocated for or were understanding of catch and release policies not only for violent felons in our major cities, but even at the borders. So I guess they like brown people, just not if they're American. Shooting pedophiles, that's the key thing.

[Josh Feuerstein]

Shooting pedophiles.

[Steven Crowder]

Yep.

[Josh Feuerstein]

They don't want you to shoot pedophiles.

[Steven Crowder]

Seems pretty cut and dried. Because they like them.

[Josh Feuerstein]

They are one.

[Steven Crowder]

Yep. The Democrat party. Just remember that when you think Democrats, think pedophiles. And by the way, trigger, I tell you where there are no. I tell you what. Pedophilia because we're not afraid to go against the grain. Pedophilia is, by the way, is strongly condemned. But we're outsiders here at Rumble, and if you are not a member.

You watch Tim Pool, you can watch for free or you can support. Choice is yours. We hope we make it worth your while. Let's go to the Trump administration and the big story right now. They're talking about it with Rogue on cnn. Okay, so for those of you who don't know this story, if you haven't been following it, it's not good, okay? This doesn't reflect well upon this administration in the sense that someone needs to be fired. Hint, hint, Mike Waltz, he should be fired. Right? We get it. But there are a lot of claims that are simply not true out there. There's a lot of misinformation surrounding the story. And so that's what happens. You take a kernel of truth on which we can all agree, okay, national security is important. We understand it. And then people start embellishing and adding lies to it when it's not really necessary. So we'll go through some of that. So hopefully you can make sense of it. Links in, the description, as always, the references, every single show. The Atlantic editor, I guess, Editor in Chief Jeffrey Goldberg, not to be confused with Jonah Goldberg, a lot of people are getting that wrong. Different. He released that he was. And by the way, this guy is garbage. So that is important. Just Jeffrey Goldberg is garbage to begin with.

[Unknown]

Start there.

[Steven Crowder]

He didn't do anything necessarily wrong here. He was added to the Signal chat. But this is the guy who, if he had anything that was classified, he would have released it because he fabricated stories like losers and suckers. It only cost 60. $60,000 is too much to bury a Mexican. That came from this guy. Okay, so this is not the beacon of integrity that he wants you to believe. Jeffrey Goldberg told the public that he was added to a high level government chat on Signal where they were sharing war plans. Listen to this, the National Security Council is right now trying to figure out how a reporter from the Atlantic was added Group chat discussing upcoming military strikes against Houthi rebels in Yemen. That's right. Atlantic reporter Jeffrey Goldberg says he was added to a small group on the messaging app Signal that included Defense Secretary Pete Hegset. She just repeated herself. Exactly. Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard. Okay, so quick timeline there. On Signal, the people who were mentioned there, National Security Adviser Mike Waltz added Goldberg. All right, it was a group called the Houthi PC small group where they discussed the attack on the Houthis and the United States bombed the Houthis. It worked anyway. So at the end of the day, there wasn't anything that was particularly, I should say, poignant as far as military secrets, because, of course, if this was leaked to a left wing press, they often support our enemies and would likely give them a heads up, especially if it's Henkel. It's not good. But I don't really know that there's a whole lot to come of this other than someone needs to be fired and people need to be careful. I also understand why they would move to Signal. Doesn't mean that it's right, but I can understand the logic. We'll get into that. President Trump, Secretary Hegseth, they both addressed the controversy yesterday with President Trump finding out seemingly live. And it's entertaining. I don't know anything about it. I'm not a big fan of the Atlantic. It's. To me, it's a magazine that's going out of business. I think it's not much of a magazine, but I know nothing about it. You're saying that they had what they were using Signal to coordinate on sensitive materials and having to do with what? Having to do with what? What were they talking about? With the Houthis. The Houthis? You mean the attack on the Houthis? Well, it couldn't have been very effective because the attack was very effective. I can tell you that. I don't know anything about it. You're telling me about it for the first time. How did you learn that a journalist was privy to the targets, the types of. Of weapons used? I've heard I was characterized. Nobody was texting war plans. And that's all I have to say about that. Thank you. And to be clear, it doesn't really seem like there were serious war plans that were being discussed. And if you actually read the conversations, I will say this silver lining. I'd like to Have a beer with those guys. They're. They're pretty consistent. They're tired of Europe, they don't like terrorists. There's nothing really damning in there. What is damning is the act. Was it?

[Josh Feuerstein]

I wouldn't want to have a beer with Mike Walls.

[Steven Crowder]

No. No, neither would I.

[Josh Feuerstein]

Find all kinds of dorks.

[Unknown]

Apparently Donald, he's coming out and saying right now that he's not going to be fired and that this was just an accident.

[Steven Crowder]

So that's not ideal.

[Unknown]

Not ideal.

[Steven Crowder]

But I also understand. Look, to be clear, them going to signal. I understand the presidential. Was it presidential records?

[Unknown]

Yeah, well, records preservation basically that you can't.

[Steven Crowder]

And I understand they have to go through specific sort of government applications, encrypted services. That being said, the first administration, the first term of this administration had more leaks than any administration in our lifetime. And so if you're trying to drain the swamp and you don't know who's a friend amongst you, you discuss the official battle plans through the official channels that are required. And then you have a contextual conversation that you know, you don't want these people reading cuz they're likely to leak it to the press where, you know, Pete Hecksh probably doesn't want the press knowing that he calls him a bunch of Euro fags. I like that he does. Doesn't make it right. But I can understand. I mean we've had that here, right? We've had leaks online by accident, which is why we've moved to encrypted apps like Signal. Just like this happened last week when we were planning lunch. Sa to those on audio. That makes no sense. You should go and watch on rumble locks. This is not just an audio podcast where we're talking to a microphone. There's a lot of. Spared no expense. So let's go through some claims and truths here just so we can clear some confusion up. Here's a claim that you will hear made across media. The top secret war plans were divulged.

[Unknown]

Jeffrey Goldberg reporting he accidentally received top.

[Steven Crowder]

Secret war plans from Defense Secretary Pete.

[Unknown]

Hegseth after he was included in a.

[Steven Crowder]

Group chat on the encrypted messaging platform Signal. Okay, here's the truth. These were not top secret war plans. This was seemingly an informal check in with people who seem to be friendly, by the way, after the planning had already been done. It's battle plans versus beer talk. In other words, you have a meeting, let's say at the Pentagon. Okay, great. We're gonna set a battle plan. Go. Hey, you guys. Wanna go out for a couple of beers afterwards or you wanna go grab lunch and then you talk about it contextually, which we all do. It's just we live in an era where everything is written down and people want to weaponize something against you. Again, Waltz made a huge mistake, huge screw up. But these were not top secret battle plans. And the journalist in question, Goldberg, has provided no proof whatsoever that there was anything top secret discussed. And if there happened to be, you know, he would release it because he has no conscience or moral integrity. This is the guy who ran with stories of Donald Trump saying losers and suckers about our military. Right. He's actually been involved in the fabrication of stories to try and damage this administration. If he had anything, he would have used it. Right.

[Unknown]

And so the only pushback that we have right now regarding this is from Tulsi Gabbard this morning. Not just the only pushback, but on the record before this committee. She's dni. She said no classified information was shared in that chat. So it's up to Goldberg now, I guess, to show some proof. And I don't know if he'd get in trouble for doing that.

[Steven Crowder]

Well, and Waltz did say, oh, maybe there was some classified information that was shared to try and keep a story from getting out. That seems like he's covering his own rear and that doesn't reflect well upon him. I think he should be fired.

[Josh Feuerstein]

Yeah. He's a national security advisor.

[Steven Crowder]

Yes.

[Josh Feuerstein]

I nationally advise that he not do that anymore.

[Steven Crowder]

Let me advise you on the security of your job. It's gone. Here's another claim that's making the rounds out there. All references available that the leaked chats show some discord among the ranks over there at the Trump administration. In this chat, there was a moment where J.D. vance. Question. First off, pause for a second. Judgment. It's very hard to take a journalist seriously who looks like that chick from Nightmare Before Christmas. Yeah, no, but let's continue with the clip. In this chat, there was a moment where J.D. vance questioned POTUS judgment about this Houthi bombing. And then he had to be talked back and ended up, you know, agreeing. And they were all onside. But I think it's a window into there is going to be at some point, presumably some actual opposition to the president and the way it's going on, not just foreign policy, but what's happening with the economy, tariffs, Canada. Okay, so discord among the Trump administration. Okay, here's the truth. It shows the opposite of that, actually. It shows that these people are actually having Healthy discussions, some slight disagreements. And they're comfortable enough to voice their disagreements. I would recommend that you go and read them. This is actually the kind of leadership that I would like to see. And it also gave us this banger of a conversation between Hegseth and Vance where Vance said, if you think we should do it, let's go. I just hate bailing Europe out again. And then Hegseth saying to Vance, I fully share your loathing of European freeloading. It's pathetic. Good. They're the people they claim to be. They loathe Europe. I loathe Europe. They're just like me.

[Josh Feuerstein]

That right there makes it seem like they wanted that to get out. Yeah, they're like, oh, I want to say this so bad, but I can't. If only we. We had somebody else say it for us.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah. Yeah. Maybe these Europeans have a false sense of confidence, especially if Germany knew how we felt about them. And Germany's room, like, what? Oh, nine worked like a char. I thought.

[Unknown]

It also made it seem like he's one of the most pro, like, America first people out there where he's like, Hey, 3% of our shipping goes through there. What do we care about this? It's really Europe's problem. If we do it, we got to get something out of it, right? Like, hey, pay for it. This is going to cost us men and material, potentially.

[Josh Feuerstein]

So it does seem like an indirect way to tell Europe, hey, you're welcome.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, exactly.

[Josh Feuerstein]

Grateful bastards.

[Steven Crowder]

It's like, accidentally, like, you have a gift receipt, but accidentally, including the real receipt when you buy an expensive gift. How did that get in there? Oh, what was that? What was that? The Pete got you. It was only 200. Oh, but this is. It's about. It's not a competition.

[Josh Feuerstein]

I'm such an airhead.

[Steven Crowder]

So the question is, look, why was any of this communicated over a commercial app? Well, okay, because it's encrypted. Right? That's a reason. And because I would bet that they're. They are mistrustful of people who may have access to the official government channels. I get it. Especially considering the leaks of the first administration. And when we're talking about the channels that exist and when we're talking about the safeguards that exist as far as protecting information and how it should be treated, the law isn't applied equally. See? Hillary Clinton, by the way, who tweeted out who posted on X? Are you kidding me? No. Are you kidding me, you crazy bitch? Really? You feel the right to come in here? So if it's not applied equally. It just means that it can be weaponized. I'm willing to bet they were afraid of their private conversations being weaponized, and so they took it to an app. Makes sense. Not saying that it means it's right. And then the screw up is why Goldberg. How does that happen? Just an accident.

[Unknown]

Well, there's some information about this that Goldberg was being added by the administration, I think is what it is. So there's something right here. So it appears his number was added to a contact card by one of the Trump administration staffers. They said that Goldberg really hasn't had any coordination or conversations with Waltz or anything like that, so they don't have any kind of history together. But going back to the Signal app you had Ratcliffe, the director or the CIA head, is basically saying, hey, this Signal app is pre installed on my machine. Like, and many other almost, if not all of the officers. Like, it's everywhere.

[Josh Feuerstein]

Well, it is a app where people buy cocaine, so.

[Steven Crowder]

Well, sure it does that. I'm sure it's useful in that way too. Right?

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

So it does seem like this was. And that's not what about ism. That's just saying, like, hey, this isn't like the Trump administration decided to move to Signal. This seems like Signal was a part of the administrative process, like, people in the administration using it to coordinate and talk to other people within the administration.

[Steven Crowder]

Whatever guarantee Donald Trump didn't order Signal. He was. He was absolutely confounded that his son could turn on the laptop. You turned it on so fast. Wow. Whoa. You're a wizard. Something. Here, I'll give you a Signal. We're a Signal family in this household. No telegram, no WhatsApp. It's Signal or bust. No, no, it's just. It's clearly something. Like, it makes sense. They're using an encrypted app. What's going on, Gerald? I hear you.

[Unknown]

No, no, no, it's good, it's good.

[Steven Crowder]

Okay. The other thing, too, is Waltz. All right, if he did add Goldberg, whoever added Goldberg. Look, if Goldberg had classified information, that would be damning in this administration, you know, that you would have heard of it. This is the guy who was at the center of the Suckers and Losers story. Remember, he called our salivary story Suckers and Losers? The Vanessa Gillen story where she said that Trump said It doesn't cost 60,000 bucks to bury an effing Mexican. No. Like, this guy is no entire.

[Unknown]

If it costs $60,000 to bury a.

[Steven Crowder]

Mexican, the Mexicans would be Surprised they would, too.

[Unknown]

Yes.

[Steven Crowder]

They'd have to spend time converting the currency.

[Josh Feuerstein]

Well, if the Mexicans are doing it.

[Steven Crowder]

It'S like 100 bucks. Yeah, pretty much. Is there anything new that.

[Unknown]

No, no, no. That was just the update so far, but we'll see if anything else comes from the hearing. This wasn't about this, by the way. They just happen to have these people in front of them today.

[Steven Crowder]

So you guys can comment below. Your thoughts if you think that Waltz needs to be fired. I think that this is a mistake that could be handled. Well, Waltz is probably going to have to be laid off. And if they don't, then it's going to snowball into a bigger.

[Unknown]

Somebody's got to take the fall for it. I'm sorry.

[Steven Crowder]

It is a mistake.

[Josh Feuerstein]

It's going to haunt you for the next four years. I mean, we got to think about that. We're. We're just now two months in.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, it's good.

[Josh Feuerstein]

That's going to haunt you if you don't fire him.

[Steven Crowder]

And don't be careless out there. Just really be. Be careful. All right? Because they're always watching. Who's they?

[Unknown]

Al Jazeera.

[Steven Crowder]

Let's get to the APAC question now.

[Unknown]

Find every three.

[Steven Crowder]

This is something that I've. And just. Just please give me a moment to explain some context here. I don't like seeing this division that you see on the right. And I think that you have this identity politics, this kind of class warfare going on, really, on what used to be the far left, which is the actual party of anti Semitism. And then they sort of connected with the far right in being anti Semitic. There are actual anti Semit, actual people out there to whom the Jews are at the center of the all problems in the world. And then you have people who just like accusing you of racism, homophobia, transphobia. They use anti Semitic to try and silence any legitimate criticism. Let me be clear about my stance. I hope that Israel wipes Hamas off the face of the earth. When people get mad, for example, at Christians or Jews blaspheming against Islam when Muslims get mad, you can't paint Muhammad. Well, guess what? Your entire religion is effectively based on blasphemy because you're claiming that Jesus Christ isn't the person who we say who he said he is and who we believe him to be. But we don't blow you up over it. I'm not a big fan of radical Islamism or Islamism. 150 million plus people who believe that violence is justified against infidels. I want to be clear about that now, with that being said, and as a Christian, I do believe that Israel has a right to exist. You need to separate your personal faith and your personal beliefs sometimes from your duty as an American. And I do have a problem specifically with AIPAC as an organization. Let me put a finer point in it. I dislike AIPAC for the same reason I dislike ActBlue and the SEIU because they give huge sums of cash to far left anti American candidates. The only caveat with AIPAC is if they support Israel, I have no problem with someone who supports Israel. I have a problem with someone who's anti First Amendment, anti second Amendment, who's pro abortion because I passed a litmus test pro Israel. And so you see AIPAC supporting. You cannot support, you cannot give money to a far left Democrat in 2025 and claim that you love America. I'm a Christian. I believe in charity. We all do. At least 1/10 goes to the church. Right? A tithe. I also understand that as an American, I shouldn't be voting for the United States to be the charity of the world because that's not my role. It's a system of government. I should personally be charitable. It's not the United States duty to effectively spend themselves into oblivion, into greater debt in order to help. Zambia, Ghana, same thing. I personally support Israel's right to exist and of course their war against Hamas. Right. Now that doesn't mean that our policy should at any point place allegiance to Israel or some kind of lobbying group above that of the United States. Does that make sense? Yeah. I'm a Christian first and then I'm an American. But as it relates to our system of government, my duty is as an American first. And I understand you can be Jewish and American, but as an American it is your duty when you vote and we discuss politics, to place this country first. The founders were very, very clear about that. So getting into this, there are a lot of claims out there, some of which are true, some of which aren't, and claims from both sides regarding aipac. So I'm gonna go through some claims, both from the attack angle and the defense angle and hopefully make sense of this. All references are available link in the description. Just if you disagree. I expect hate to come from all sides here and I think that most people out there probably line up with this line of thinking more than the people who scream the loudest on social media. You can comment at the end of this segment. What is apac? They are the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. And of Course, you've heard a whole lot about them in the news recently. A big part of the conversation is a particular lobby group called the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, or aipac. There's also this lobby, aipac, which is a very, very powerful lobby. It's all about the Benjamins, baby. In response to this tweet, would love to know who Representative Ilhan thinks is paying American politicians to be pro Israel. Omar tweeted again, aipac. Ostensibly, it's a group of Americans who lobby on behalf of Israel. Lot of the big money lobbies that are corrupting a lot of our politics. Big oil, the nra, aipac.

[Unknown]

I mean, it's pretty obvious why AIPAC would be investing in getting pro Israeli politicians into the government.

[Steven Crowder]

If you stand up, you're gonna find that AIPAC and other billionaire funded super PACs are going to go to war against you, putting huge amounts of money in a primary in your general election. All right, a lot to unpack there, as the kiddos say. So it's time for some claim truth. Now here's the first claim I'm going to address. And this will get me sideways with conservative nonprofits who support Israel no matter what at every single point, including AIPAC. That AIPAC APAC is a very conservative organization. AIPAC's election war chest, financed by major donors, including several Republican billionaires and key GOP funders, has started imposing expensive consequences for lawmakers who express criticism of the U.S. s unwavering support for Israel. Okay, here's the truth. AIPAC donates significantly more to Democrats and Republicans. They do donate a lot to Republicans. Again, their only qualifier is do you support Israel? Period. That is not an American ideal as far as policy. They give more to Democrats. So in 2024, Democrat candidates received from AIPAC. To give you an idea, $19.1 million. I believe this is a total of Congressional and Senate candidates. Republicans, $15.7 million. The average contribution on a candidate by candidate basis for Democrats, $117,000. For Republicans, $66,000. So almost twice given to individual Democrats, to be clear. Let me give you some examples, by the way. And this is, look, I'm a Christian and I sat in an evangelical church where, yeah, it was always support Israel. And by the way, of course, as Christians, we do believe that they have the right to exist to that land. Fine, but I'm separating that here. I didn't realize just how corrosive it was to have such a large organization supporting awful people who seek the destruction of your country. And here's the Thing that has nothing to do with Jews. For example, AIPAC gave 866,000 to Hakeem Jeffries, 519,000 to Debbie Wasserman Schultz. Kirsten Gillibrand, 480,000. Nancy Pelosi, only 8,000. But she doesn't need it. She has insider trading to fall back on.

[Unknown]

They gave her money in other ways.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, so this is the issue here. You have people on the evangelical right who believe that, that Israel is our greatest ally. That certainly is likely. The case can be argued. That doesn't mean that AIPAC is. If they're giving to Debbie Wasserman Schultz and Hakeem Jeffries and they brag about how 98% of their candidates are elected. Well, hold on a second. Let me ask you. Am I supposed to be on board with apec? Does it make me anti Semitic if I don't abandon my pro First Amendment principles, my pro second Amendment principles, my pro life principles? Why would I abandon all those principles? Just because your only qualifier is supporting Israel? I do support Israel. I don't support those candidates and I don't support a giant organization giving those candidates money. Because you're actively fighting against the United States of America. Their primary goal, aipac, is to get pro Israel candidates elected. That's it. That does seem to me perhaps anti American. This is from its own website. They spent 70 million in 2024 to support pro Israel candidates and 90 something percent of the candidates won. They even brag that they helped defeat huge second Amendment advocate Brandon Herrera in his primary because he was not pro Israel enough. It's like those people who say I've been a Republican but I can't vote for Donald Trump. It's a matter of principle. Okay, so the alternative, you abandon all your principles to vote for Kamala Harris because you don't like Donald Trump. He may not be pro life enough for you. It's a state. When we're talking about the state issue, Supreme Court. Okay, five, five, five. The choice is a candidate who supports abortion all the way up until including birth period. And violating your right to self preservation and transitioning minors. Why do you not have a problem with abandoning all of those principles?

[Unknown]

Right.

[Steven Crowder]

Why are conservatives expected to abandon all these principles? Because they're afraid of being accused of anti Semitism if they have a problem with AIPAC supporting Hakeem Jeffries, Wasserman Schultz, Pelosi, Gillibrand. The only qualifier of aipac, and this is what I believe people have a problem with. It's a legitimate gripe. The only qualifiers do you support Israel regardless of any other constitutional stances? And that's the only thing that this group cares about. Lobbying American representatives as they advocate for American policy. And they're giving you money. Okay, Mr. Kennedy, where do you stand on the Constitution?

[Unknown]

It's an antiquated doctrine. It's in need of a few updates.

[Steven Crowder]

Uh huh. And your stance on the First Amendment? Scrap it. Got it. How about the Second Amendment?

[Unknown]

I'd take the ax to that.

[Steven Crowder]

And where do you line up on Israel? Pro. Pro Israel. Here you go. That is documentary footage.

[Josh Feuerstein]

That was easy.

[Unknown]

By the way. It's incredibly responsible to be pro Israel and also be pissed off at some of the things that ISRA Israel does. Right, sure. Jesus was exactly this incredibly pro Israel, but stood in the temple and basically lambasted them for what they were doing and got really annoyed by them as well. Just having sometimes like, ah, how long do I have to put up with these people?

[Steven Crowder]

Oh, if Jesus went to APAC headquarters, he'd at least flip a table at one or two. Yeah, yeah, absolutely. He can do both. He probably cursed some of their fig trees.

[Unknown]

Yeah. Never producing again.

[Josh Feuerstein]

Blow out a menorah. All of them.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah, yeah. How do you feel about that? Enjoy your Hakeem Jeffries. So here's another claim that I'm going to go through. And now this is going to anger, unfortunately, the actual anti Semites of the audience. And it's a very, very rare thing, but if you believe that Jews are the cause of all problems in the world, okay, I just ask that you apply your outrage equally. All right. And I am applying it equally here. I have the same problem with APAC that I have of ActBlue or I have with whatever Elect Hillary pack today. I don't like them because they don't like our point of view. They hate America. It's that simple. But this claim that is being made is that AIPAC is the single most influential lobbying group in dc. They control everything. Well, AIPAC is one of the two most powerful lobbies in the United States. Not just the most powerful pro Israel lobbies, but most powerful lobby. Maybe on par with the National Rifle Association. Okay, here's the truth. No, it's not. So if you look at 2024 lobbying, we're sort of separating this here. APAC ranked 191st behind groups like the national association of Realtors, Chamber of Commerce and Meta. So if you think the Jews are behind it, they're Jews. If you think the Jews are behind it, a lot of. A lot of pinterest moms with part time realtors.

[Josh Feuerstein]

Yeah, there's more money coming from Botox faces.

[Steven Crowder]

Yes, exactly. This is just big botulism. Now, if you look at 2023 to 2024, specifically their direct contributions, AIPAC ranked 18th behind groups like ActBlue, WinRed, Future Forward USA. Just to be clear, that's where they ranked here. So again, you can be upset about their influence because they may be advocating for another nation above the United States, but to say that they are the most influential is simply not. What? What's that, Josh?

[Josh Feuerstein]

Snack time.

[Steven Crowder]

Are you eating out of a. Eating out of a stop box?

[Josh Feuerstein]

Yeah, it's a great spot to hide my. To hide my snacks from you know who.

[Steven Crowder]

No, I don't know who. I don't know. Don't stop. And by the way, it's not for. It's for firearms. It's not for Captain Crunch.

[Josh Feuerstein]

Captain Crunch. I don't have Cap'n Crunch money, dude. This is Colonel Munch money bags.

[Steven Crowder]

Okay, stop Talk. Can you please stop talking? Look, this is what. This is how you use a stop box right here. Okay? You put your fire. What's this?

[Josh Feuerstein]

That looks like Captain Crunch. That's a rich man's cereal.

[Steven Crowder]

No, it looks a lot like Colonel Munch to me.

[Josh Feuerstein]

No, I don't think so.

[Steven Crowder]

I don't eat Captain Crunch or Colonel Munch. You know what? You're about to be introduced to Senior Punch. Okay, well, maybe you should change your.

[Josh Feuerstein]

Password, not make it so easy to get into.

[Steven Crowder]

I change my password. This is for firearms, which, by the way, you can use to conceal and prevent unintended access to your firearm. It's easy. You don't have to worry about them. Buy a metric safe like I once had and then couldn't get at 3 in the morning with a man and loaded rifle and a balaclava at the foot of my bed. At three in the morning, the battery ran out. Battery ran out. And then it wouldn't accept the fast current charger, so I just spent time charging it and I was like, oh, my God. Turns out it was a cat and I couldn't shoot it. So we're going to stopboxusa.com Crowder and it's made in the USA. This is. We have them all around. They're great. They're. It's just. It's not that heavy, but it works and it keeps you fire.

[Unknown]

No, it's fantastic for like a car and stuff like that. So.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Josh Feuerstein]

Can you toss me that other piece of cereal?

[Steven Crowder]

No, I'm not going to toss you the other piece of cereal. That's enough.

[Unknown]

I think that's. That, that, that's the takeaway, is that you have Captain Crunch money over there.

[Steven Crowder]

I do have Captain Crunch money. And you find it in your stock box. Stopboxusa.com Crowder let's go to the next claim of APAC. Claim. AIPAC works. And they're the only organization that work on behalf of and lobby for a foreign nation. The only ones.

[Unknown]

Have you ever wondered how we got to this point where one of the biggest lobbying groups in America can openly brag that they are representing a foreign country? This is from AIPAC's website. But somehow they don't have to register under the FARA act as. As someone acting on behalf of a foreign actor.

[Steven Crowder]

Now here's the truth. Well, they should have to register under Farah and they do advocate on behalf of a foreign nation. That all is true. And by the way, these are valid points. But they're not the only PAC to do so. They're not the only organization. That part is the lie that you will hear out there. So the National Iranian American Council advocates for the Islamic Republic of Iran. Republic. We're using that term a little loosely.

[Unknown]

Which we should probably be against in multiple states.

[Steven Crowder]

Other PACs that advocate here for foreign nations, they have the. Oh, in India, they have the U. S. India Political Action Committee. There's Armenia, the Armenian National Committee of America, Taiwan, the Formosan association of Public Affairs, FAPA as it's called. Now let me be really clear here. It's legitimate criticism, but if you only blame aipac, okay, then it begs the question why? I think just to be clear, all of these groups should have to register with Farah. Yeah, all of them. Okay, candidate number two. It says here you support the LGBTQ movement. That's right. Uh huh. You also support transitioning of minors more than adults. Oh boy. Well, what about your stance on Israel? Oh, I love them. I can't get enough of them. I've heard enough. That's documentary footage. Now I'm asking you if this makes sense. All of them should register with Farah. I hate all of the groups that give hundreds and hundreds of thousands to anti American radical Democrats, whether AIPAC or ActBlue or the teachers union. I believe that that is remarkably consistent and I think it's an important delineator. There are some people with whom the Jews can do no right and some people with whom the Jews can do no wrong. Neither one is even close to correct. And this is not some False representation as a moderate. Nope, I'm not a moderate. I just think that this whole issue has been convoluted because people are inherently dishonest on this one.

[Unknown]

Yeah. And I think that when you're talking about far, you should understand, and I'm 100% with you on this, they should absolutely have to register. But so should all of these other organizations advocating on behalf of other foreign governments. Look, Farah has specific rules though, Ian, and everybody else making this. You have to say we need to change these rules because technically people can slide in under those rules and not have to do it. So change the rules so that nobody else can do it, period. Don't just focus on Israel, focus on the entire thing. It'll take care of the problem.

[Steven Crowder]

Yep. Yeah, I agree. I think that's a good point. You can comment below if you agree. If you disagree, I'm sure that the comments will be ablaze. Slurp.

[Josh Feuerstein]

No.

[Unknown]

They killed JFK so that they didn't have to register.

[Steven Crowder]

Wow. That's part of the deal. Oh yeah, that makes perfect sense.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Steven Crowder]

Something something Jews.

[Josh Feuerstein]

My landlord's Jewish.

[Steven Crowder]

I knew this one guy who had sideburns. I don't know if it was a Jew, but I didn't like him.

[Josh Feuerstein]

That was a big nose guy. He could have been Iranian, but could.

[Steven Crowder]

Have had a good Roman nose, in which case I like him. Or it could have been a Jew nose, in which case I hate him. Well, I said I clipped out of context.

[Unknown]

Yeah.

[Steven Crowder]

Let's go. Let's go to the next claim that is made. And you will see this again from people on the right and people on the right who sell something wholesale and not acknowledge criticism. Guess what? That foments more conspiracy theories and frankly, disdain. So this claim that you will hear is we actually, we absolutely have to keep giving money to Israel because they are our greatest allies and it's necessary. Something, something, something, something. Israel is a critical ally of ours. And I think most people understand the necessity of this funding. They're fighting for their very existence. They're the only stable democracy in the Middle East. Okay, here's the truth. No, we don't. Now you could advocate that we should. And in some instances, because they are an ally. Yeah, it makes sense militarily. But this idea that we simply need to send more money as a blanket statement. No, no, we actually don't. So between 1946 and 2024, we've given Israel around 300 plus billion dollars.

[Unknown]

And that's a jack.

[Steven Crowder]

Now that's since 46. Now, if we contrast that with the Ukraine, or. Sorry, with Ukraine. $183 billion committed in just three years. In just three years, right. It still is a lot, though, to Israel. And here's my perspective. This is. You guys, let me know if you think this is unreasonable. I dislike AIPAC for the same reason that I dislike ecblue. Right. We've gone through there. I think that they should have to register under Farah, just like I think these other nations should. They all should have to. How about maybe instead of saying we need to continue giving money to Israel as a blank check, and I understand the criticism, how about we just stop funding all sides of the war in the Middle East? How about we stop supporting Israel's enemies at the same time, which we are. Palestine since 1950 sent them $6 billion in aid. When you look at Iran, not big fans of the Jews. The Obama administration gave them billions as part of the nuclear deal. Right? Unlocked at least 50 billion in assets, $400 million in cash. Contrast that Donald Trump. The sanctions cost the Iranian economy $1 trillion. Hey, that's more of a net benefit to Israel than sending them our money. And I know we don't necessarily send them money, but again, the idea of supporting or being in support of relationships with plenty of nations who want to wipe them off the face of the map. In other words, we say, hey, let's have a relationship with these people, let's send them money, or let's have support of trade with them. Oh, and they want to wipe these people off the. Well, then let's send them some money. How about you just stop both? Israel would come out with a net win. So good example of that. Qatar 2022. The Biden administration designated Qatar a major non NATO ally. Why? Why, by the way, what that means is it provides foreign partners with certain benefits in areas of defense, trade and security cooperation. However, Qatar sends billions to Hamas, billions to Hezbollah, billions that they invest in American universities that they try and subvert Qatar. We'll do a whole other segment on Qatar, by the way, in the future. They certainly are someone to watch out for. They have a lot of oil money, so they're modernized. It's amazing how successful you can be when you just throw a bunch of indentured servants. I'm sorry, slaves at it. But if we just said, you know what? Let's get out of the. Let's get out of the Iranian business, let's get out of the Palestine business, let's get out of the Qatar business. Guess what? Israel would Be better off and we wouldn't have to be sending them so much money. I understand. I don't think it's anti Semitic for someone to say we shouldn't be sending money to Ukraine and I don't think we should be sending so much money to Israel. We can have a disagreement over policy. But I won't accuse them of being an anti Semite and I certainly won't accuse someone of being an anti Semite simply because they have a problem with aipac. Well, let me ask you this. They have successfully lobbied and had elected far left Democrats who actively fight against everything you stand for. Why don't you have a problem with aipac? Can they give enough to the candidate you like that it undoes giving more to the candidates who hate you? That's why I try not to wade into a lot of this temporary social media BS surrounding these conversations because it's an outrage. Today that's based on maybe a half truth or a complete mistruth and then someone moves on tomorrow. There's no winning with it. I think that our perspective here has been remarkably consistent and I think it's in line with most Americans. The problem is that most Americans aren't represented in the era of clickbait where one side is quick to accuse you of wholesale blanket discrimination or prejudice and the other side is ready to accuse you of being a Jew. I have been referred to as a Jew fag many times.

[Josh Feuerstein]

Just a regular one.

[Steven Crowder]

Yeah. Which you know, not gay nor Jewish. I'd be a very large Jew too. Most Jews aren't quite. You're Aryan and I'm Aryan just with dark hair. But even I can't escape it. Even with this segment, we will be accused of being on AIFAX payroll. Watch. That to me is where there is actual anti Semitism and no win. AIPAC is not one of the top lobbying groups in this country. They are not a pro conservative, certainly not a pro Christian conservative traditional organization. They are one of the many foreign interests who are lobbying who are not forced to register under fare. And the United States is really funding both sides in the Middle East. But none of that matters. This is the thing with apec. To me, my biggest problem is. Wait, hold on a second. You claim to be a lobbying group for the United States, but the only qualifier is if they say you don't care about anything else. Well, to me you're not American. For example, we had a city council member, I believe in California, who wasn't in Washington, who was an actual cannibal, an actual Cannibal made it to city council. And you wonder. Wait, hold on a second. This is something in the margin that people don't think of. This actually allows radical fringe candidates to win elections. Why? They can be socialists, they can be pro transitioning children, they can be cannibals so long as they meet the litmus test of but I support Israel. There's your cash. So it says here you're an actual cannibal.

[Josh Feuerstein]

Well, cannibal is kind of a loaded word. There's a lot of misconceptions out there, you know, like I. I don't eat the whole person.

[Steven Crowder]

Other parts.

[Josh Feuerstein]

Yeah, you know, like a toe or a rib, maybe.

[Steven Crowder]

All right, that's fine. What's your stance on aid for Israel?

[Josh Feuerstein]

Love Israel Almost as much as I love eating people.

[Steven Crowder]

Shotzi.

[Josh Feuerstein]

Could you. Could you get that for me?

[Steven Crowder]

Sure. A lot of people think apac. Don't be like it is, but it do.

[Unknown]

It do indeed. It's not funded by the Jews or AIPAC or anybody else or the Iranians. Crowdershop.com the socialism is for Figs shirt is back. It's available now that we are off YouTube and they can't touch us, baby. Go to Crowdershop.com right now and get your shirt and wear it proudly. Don't be a fig like Josh was yesterday.

[Steven Crowder]

Don't say it. You said when you're Aryan and you say it that angrily.

[Josh Feuerstein]

Wow, sounds so angry.

[Steven Crowder]

Grab the shop.

[Josh Feuerstein]

Yeah, if I want to be one.

[Steven Crowder]

It's also very poor German accent for someone that area.

[Unknown]

Yeah, I don't. I don't really have it.

[Steven Crowder]

You're like Joey Trimiani doing the talent. You're a big fat phony. He's not one of us. He looks like it, but he's not. All right.

[Josh Feuerstein]

I could tell he wasn't one of us when I saw him counting backwards.

[Steven Crowder]

That's right.

[Josh Feuerstein]

I learned that in a Tarantino film.

[Steven Crowder]

That's correct. Also when I saw him changing in the shower. And his captain is no longer wearing his hat. Riva Dare. Are you jo. All right.

[Unknown]

Like I said, third best.

[Steven Crowder]

Let's go to the Daily Show. John Storton, this is something you're seeing on the left now. They tell on themselves all the time when they accuse you of being anti free speech. I know that you, as a reasonable person are going, wait, hold on, wait. The left is accusing me of being anti free speech? Yes, that's correct. It's retarded. But you need to be prepared to combat it. So Jon Stewart, who full Disclosure. Very funny. I just disagree with him. He claimed that President Trump and this administration are unbelievably hypocritical on free speech. And actually, this administration and the right wingers are pro censorship generally. You've got to search the archives for contradictions on one stated principles. Dig through policy papers to uncover private actions that are undermined by someone's public stance. But this is so. This is so blatant, I can't wrap my head around it. It's not even the hypocrisy. It's that they so fetishize free speech, this thing that they do not in any way actually practice. Yes, we fetishize amendment number one. It's almost like it's important. Which brings us to another installment of Claim Truth. It's always funny to me. You'll get lifted like, well, why do you. Oh, that's all you care about is free speech. Well, it's not all I care about, but if I had to pick one thing, it'd probably be that I'd start.

[Josh Feuerstein]

There is my fetish, by the way, the First Amendment, free speech. I'll get in bed with my wife and I say, yes, say whatever you like. Exactly like, oh, yeah, Charles. And I'm like, like, ah, well, that's, that's not me. But I support your right to say exactly.

[Steven Crowder]

That's.

[Josh Feuerstein]

That's a huge fetish of mine.

[Steven Crowder]

I don't agree with what you say, but I will fight to the death for your right to say it. By the way, without the First Amendment, there can be no dirty talk.

[Unknown]

It's true.

[Josh Feuerstein]

And who's Charles? Is that your boss?

[Steven Crowder]

Just like without the Second Amendment, there can be no role playing. What? Not just me, okay? I got really into it. I said, tonight we're gonna do UK role playing. Here's the knife deposit box.

[Unknown]

Use that stop box.

[Josh Feuerstein]

Oops.

[Steven Crowder]

All bullets. Let's go to the claim here. The first claim from Mr. Stewart. And this echoes what the left is trying to get going as a gaslighting campaign right now. Don't be fooled. Check the links in the description President Trump. That claim is attacking universities over speech. Columbia University is bowing to President Trump's demands, announcing it will change a number of policies, among them placing the school's Middle Eastern, South Asian and African Studies department under academic receivership for at least five years. Some students protest the war in Gaza. Suddenly a whole academic department is on double secret probation. Here's the truth speech. Not the problem. Crimes were ow. Kind of Black Lives Matter. Kind of like antifa it's like, ah, we don't have a problem. You want, want to go out and be a dick? It's the criminal activity. I hope I'm crystal clear with you. So for example, the Students for Justice Palestine, they organized pro Hamas rallies all across American campuses. Cost millions of dollars in property damage. Let me give you some examples. At Columbia, they forcibly occupied Hamilton Hall. They were intimidating and harassing, including physically Jewish students. And let me add some context here. Let's contrast that because they're trying to say, hey you, as a conservative, you're anti free speech. Okay? It doesn't exist in a vacuum. Conservative speech has specifically been banned and not welcome at universities when no crimes were taking place. So let me give you some examples. So conservative speakers from 1998 to now, 754 successful bannings or deplatformings by universities. In 2017 there were the Berkeley riots over Ann Coulter and Mile Yiannopoulos going to speak. By the way, 2018, yours truly, I was banned from DePaul University for. Change my mind. There are only two genders. Change my mind. I am pro second amendment. Change my mind. No crimes taking place. Banned because of speech. It's not even close. This is stupid. Jon Stewart knows better. He's lying to you. Let's go to the next claim, that President Trump is now the word police because he has a list of banned words. What exactly would an actual government run word police organization look like? The Trump administration is actively trying to purge the federal government of so called woke initiatives. Government agencies have flagged hundreds of words to limit or avoid words like dei, bipoc, anti racism, Latinx, Native American, black women, seemingly random words like expression at risk, political and even mental health and sex. Okay, here's the truth. That was largely bullshit. Now there is no list of official banned words. Individual agencies can decide how to comply with the executive order on eliminating DEI from government. To be clear, and we'll get into the contrast there, there are no banned words to be clear, despite what the left actually believes. Don't think it. Don't say it. Don't say it. Don't think it. Don't say it. Don't think it. Don't say it. Don't think it. Don't say it. Don't think it. Don't say it. Don't think it. Don't say it. Don't think it. Don't say it. Don't think it.

[Unknown]

Don't say it.

[Steven Crowder]

Oh geez. TDS spared no one. And here's the thing, there's no list of specific banned words. But more importantly, this was about undoing the enforcement of words that came from the Biden administration. The Biden administration said, here are the words you have to use with no basis in history, reality, science, biology. Let me give you some examples here. Former Vice President Biden respect the office. In 2021, they changed the word mothers to birthing people.

[Unknown]

Idiots.

[Steven Crowder]

A lot of their official documents. In 2021, they also changed alien to non citizen. In 2022, they actually permitted gender neutral US passports. That was an entirely new thing because chicks with dicks could no longer fit on the page.

[Unknown]

It's actually the phrase of the day. But whatever.

[Steven Crowder]

It's one word.

[Josh Feuerstein]

Which one is it chicks or dicks?

[Steven Crowder]

It's hyphenated. It's hyphenated.

[Josh Feuerstein]

Ah, chicks with dicks.

[Steven Crowder]

It's hyphenated, Gerald. So they just said we're going to replace this. Well, why are you changing it from women to birthing people? I don't know. We did a focus group. Yeah, yeah. We can't say aliens. But that's what it's literally. That's what it's used to say on actual immigration papers. No, no, we can't say why? Because we want to buy a voting block. What would gender neutral passports. What does that even mean? It just means people can be whatever they want. Well, what's the basis of that? Voting.

[Unknown]

You want to confuse every other foreign country.

[Steven Crowder]

Come on.

[Josh Feuerstein]

Or be a spy.

[Unknown]

It's true.

[Josh Feuerstein]

Easiest way to be a spy. Oh, I just. I'm gender neutral. Put X on there. I'll be Jason Bourne or whoever.

[Steven Crowder]

[Steven Crowder]

The very next claim, we'll move on to that. John Stewart and people on the left are making again. They're telling on themselves. Just be mindful of that. When they accuse you of something, they're accusing you of exactly what it is that they are doing and they know it. Their claim here now is that President Trump. Trump loves social media. Not because it's an alternative to legacy media who effectively boxed him out. But because social media exclusively pushes a right wing bias and ideology, he loves it. Meta X the tickety tock.
