All right, to you. Welcome to everyone in here, take it down a notch. Gosh, few people here watch War Machine on Netflix and all of a sudden in here everyone's catching the frag. By the way, not good. It's a spoiler alert. It's Predator with a robot and the main guy's Mr. Bill. But that'll bring us to what we're talking about today. Welcome of course, here to the lineup live. We're gonna talk about Tucker Carlson today and not just his spat with President Trump, but look, we always try and call balls and strikes. We defended Tucker Carlson when he interviewed Putin. I think he's well within not only his right to, but I understand. I'd interview a major foreign head of state, but since then it is. Does it surprise you when he consistently lines up with folks against the United States of America? That doesn't mean that he is obviously parroting the communist Chinese party. It doesn't mean that he is just because they say the same things. It doesn't mean that he is just because he showcases propaganda from Russia. It doesn't mean that he is because he implies that American troops will rape innocent women and children. But when you add it up, at a certain point, he never on the side of most Americans. We'll get into that and more. Brandon Herrera. Actually, on the flip side, they're trying to accuse him of being a Nazi because he has a copy of Mein Kampf. Obviously won his primary. We're gonna give you the context. It's the exact opposite of that and it's pretty funny. But really important too. Not India. We'll trash them for a bit. Is the trans LGBTQAIP fed? Remember we told you, like this is a social contagion. Well, some new numbers are in and it turns out that once you enact some policy banning some chemical intervention for kids, it drops by like 20 something percent. Peaked in 2023. And now it's down. And it's dependent on geography, political ideology. How do you see that kind of a statistical oscillation up and down and up and down and up and down. If it's not part social, I would say this gender is not a social construct, but transgenderism is. You can comment below if you disagree on with Joe. Yo, what up, fam? It's your boy, D Day, and we out here. Nah, I'm sayin' out here on the block holdin it down. Yeah, we bout to have a good day, fam. Dang it, Darryl. What the hell are you doing out there?

Sam, Just want to check and see if you have surround sound, because if you do, it sounds like I was sipping behind you. It's like kind of like John Lennon's a number nine in the White Album. It's a horrible song. Thanks. There you go. That's all. Yes, Josh was. Yeah. You remember number nine? Remember? His mic is off there. Ah. Well, that's good. Really? The kid. Do we got it? Love it. No, he's not. Is it cord disconnect. Billy. Oh, geez. What a horrible. Billy, do you need to test? No, no, he's still talking. Okay. He's still. Go get it. Billy's fired. He's on your lap. What? Anyway, let's move on. Let's see. Let's see. The lights are flashing behind him too. No, it's not right. All right. Captain Morgan, CEO. How are you? I am doing well, Josh. How are you? Sounds like a lot of electrical problems just going on lately. Woken up in the middle of the night again? I just go do this to you on purpose. Do me a favor. Just. I know you carry a knife. I'm just saying you carry a knife and Billy the Kid is behind you. Josh, take care of it. It's a. I just heard a pop. Oh, now it's. We might need to move him to the other chair if that's what's going on. Oh, there we are. There we are. I got some voice now. Look at that. Yeah, but the number nine bit doesn't work. No. You want to redo it? No, number nine. See, it doesn't work. I told you. Now I'm disappointed. Friday, Saturday, March 20th, 21st at Summit City Comedy Club in Fort Wayne, Fort Wayne, Indiana, due for a comeback. Josh Firestein. Yep. They're got not gonna have mics there. No, they're not. I can project, but they will have the War Machine. Yeah. You, you. I am. Hey, don't call me a hero. Yoko, you get you cross that finish line for your brother, would you call me? We'll do a review of it tomorrow. It's just. Do we got it. All right. Okay. All right. Before we get into anything else here, a lot to get to today. Some controversy over a new mural in Richmond, Virginia. Now, something to do with intersectionality, but I do understand why some people are taking it the wrong way. But I'm okay with it. Now to Richmond's north side. A new mural is sparking a major conversation. This artwork aims to support Palestine, but it's left some African American community leaders scratching their heads. Caleb Bryan explains. Now I talk to different black community leaders. Selma from the Sixes say that they don't have any problem with Selma marching the watermelon imagery at the intersection of Brooklyn Boulevard and North Avenue. Since this mural, it's a dark skinned Palestinian woman holding a slice of watermelon. And the seeds spell free Palestine. Too many seeds. Watermelons continue to appear in artwork and have been recently popularized globally to signify Palestinian solidarity. It's not about the sexual watermelon, however. The mural is in a historically black neighborhood. Gentrification and the watermelon imagery hits different. I was taken aback because of the imagery that it represents. So I Just got hungry. Understanding the history of our people and what happened during the Jim Crow era and how those images were used to demean us and make fun of us and ridicule us and run us out of the business. It really bothered me. Yeah. I. I can understand how it could come across that way to the uninitiated. Because to the uninitiated, it really just looks like a black person with a giant hunk of watermelon. It does. On a wall. This looks like summertime vibes to me. It does. It makes me want watermelon. I don't see the problem. If they had a problem with that, they are going to hate the new Iran protest mural. Yeah, that's. Is fried chicken big over there? No, it's definitely Har Tehran fast. Love that moolah of Iran. Yes. Is fried chicken big over there? I don't think it is. I think it's huge. I just asked Joe. He said no. He said no. Well, watermelon have been used as a symbol by Palestinians since 1967, I guess. Call it cultural differences. It's just pretty funny. I just like that they didn't run it by anyone in a black neighborhood. Like, where. Yeah, they didn't even think about it. Right. Everyone is going to be a fan. I think they were, like, good for us. They were like, yeah, yeah, black people love watermelon. Yes. They would like it even more. Be on our site. They will say it speaks to them. They sound Spanish even more. We can pass out pins for Palestinian flights. We can fit them. We can put little umbrellas, like in the drinks, but in the watermelon. Say for you. For you. So you can support us. That's it. There's not much more to that story than that. So funny, though. But hopefully, you know, hopefully those people had the right to vandalize that wall. That's the problem, too, with a lot of street art, because it's important to own your own property. So call American financing at 1-800-974-650 or go to americanfinancing.net Crowder NMLs 182334. They've saved a lot of people a lot of money, like, legitimately. And even people who haven't used them at the end of the day have saved money. So we're glad to have them as a sponsor. Yeah, that'd be awkward if they didn't get permission, by the way. It would all the time. Because that was quite a mural. That wasn't like some graffiti you can put up overnight with your Buddies. Like, somebody had to be there in the daytime painting it, and some black guy had to walk by like, what are you doing? You know how it started, right? It started with the watermelon in Free Palestine. Like, yeah. And like an outline. Yeah. And yes. Filled it in. They only filled in the colors last. Hey, what you doing? Trust me, you're gonna be fine with this. It's for you. That was, like, in Austin, the. Hi, how are you? Weird frog. It used to be it's on a building as you come into Austin, and it used to be a Baja Fresh. Now it's something else. And the owner wanted to get rid of it. And then it became a protected landmark, but it was vandalism. So my brother and I were planning on going and whitewashing the wall in the middle of the night, like, anti vandalism. But my lawyer said, yeah, you'll go to jail because it's Austin. Yeah. So we didn't do it. Don't enjoy your awful vandalized city, Austin. Hey, there you go. That is. That's protected. It's protected. It's awesome. I'd rather protect actual frogs. Yes, me too. And I hate gangs. So do I. Well, there are poisonous toads here, and they're bad for your dogs. In Texas.

I want to say point out that India is an awful place where it's like a pit of. It's a cesspool of filth and sadness where dreams go to die. Well, they really don't want us telling you that. So there's like a New Indian media matters warning. It's time for Eye on India. What's I smell Now? Look, of course I have to say, not all, not all, not all, not all. Just, you know, of course, just most. And the country of India is a terrible place. So not all Indian people, just a lot. And then not all of India, just most. Is that fair? Are we all adults here? So apparently, because that truth has been spoken by a lot of you out there, there has been a recent uptick in alleged hate incidents. Just slurs against Indians in America. Here. That guy's on the Indian grind, man. He just grinds. He gets it done. Sorry. Right clip. But here's the appropriate one. Over the last year, we have seen a massive uptick in racist attacks online against Indian Americans. Prominent figures who are advising the top characterize Indians as third world invaders. Correct. Immense anti Indian hate going on right now in the U.S. i've lived here, as you know, for more than 40 years, and I've never seen anything like it. The amount of anger, the amount of racism, the amount of attacking Indians by name, by religion, going after them, I've never seen anything like it. For decades, Indian Americans in India, I have a bodily minority. Industrious, quiet, and successful. They were welcomed as quiet achievers. Wait, she's black? That delicate balance is gone. A community that once wasn't perceived as a threat now stands awkwardly at its center, facing a bipartisan backlash. Now, a couple of things. First off, before I get to the stats that they're citing, I don't know if at any point, one proposed approach was for the Indian culture at large to. To be anything other than an insufferable culture. Like, I don't know if that was ever considered. Like, maybe we should just stop being insufferable and incompatible. I don't know. But no, no, no, no, no. But no. Also hate toward India. You guys comment. This is anecdotal. I'll get to the empirical. I have never seen more racist people in my life than Indians. I went to lunch with several and the tirade they went into against. Against everyone, certainly against American blacks, but against other Indians, against other Indians who they viewed as subhuman. I have never seen the kind of vitriolic discrimination and prejudice as I have seen from. From Indians. That's been my experience. My Uber driver recently, we did that night stream, the State of the Union. Yeah, my Uber driver was a young man, Indian, came here when he was a kid with his parents. He was telling me about. He's like, oh, I would never work for an Indian. Oh, really? I would never. Yeah. He's like, I would never work for an Indian. I'll never work for a business where Indian patrons are never working an Indian restaurant. They're the worst tippers. They're the worst employers. That's not me. That's coming from him. And I was like, geez, dude. Well, here's the thing. A lot of them also think that you are stupid. A lot of Indians definitely think that Americans are dumber than them. So let me get to this story though. The Indian American Advocacy Council, it's like an Indian Media Matters, they released a report that was tracking incidents. They said there was 115% rise in anti Indian slurs online from 23 to 25. That's it. They said that in the summer of 25 anti Indian online posts were viewed 280 million times. It seems like a low number. And since 2025, one in four Indians called a slur. I gotta tell you, that surprises me as to how low it is. Yeah. And I don't mean that it's acceptable, but I mean, if you were to take any other minority in the United States, I would think more than one in four experienced a slur. Those are rookie numbers. You really gotta. Every one of us has been called a slur. We're slacking. Yeah, they were only pulling one block. But here's. Is it too. I want to know. I don't. Did it come from other Indians calling you that? Robert Haji? I don't know. Is it a caste system thing? But here's. Here's the thing. Just like we saw with racism with Barack Obama, oh, you're racist if you oppose him. Just like we saw with sexism, misogyny. What they're really doing is they're trying to say, look, see this hatred? And then parlay it into a policy, actual legislation. Because what they are citing is enforcement of H1B regulations as specifically targeting Indian workers. Which means that Indian workers are the largest beneficiaries of H1BS. We know that. Here's another thing. When you talk about Indian workers, you want to talk discrimination. I don't have the numbers in front of me because they're kind of hard to find. You will see companies that have maybe 5, 10% Indian workers, if they get into management positions, it switches to 50, 60, 70 really quickly. And American workers are forced out. Hey, maybe it's not a race thing. You just want to call it tribalism. You just want to call it discrimination against white Americans. But that's also why a Lot of Americans are pretty upset about this. The Times of India specifically cites Frisco, Texas, at a city council meeting and said America first supporters linked the issue to the H1B visa. The role further escalated after a commentator claimed residents were frustrated with Indians living in the same area as them. And we're causing a ruckus. So this is. This is Indian media matters. I get it. We should do better, but I'm not gonna. 162 Indians don't have a toilet at home. Many of you gang raped a water monitor lizard. It's awful. I can't. Also, two Indians are killed by train per hour. It's 162 million Indians. Yeah. Toilet at home. You said 162. That'd be a low number. What? I thought the million. Yeah, that's okay. It's. It's fine. It's fine. I feel wealthy for having three toilets. It's. It's a huge percentage of a country that poops in the street. That, by the way, has gross disrespect, not just for women, but for basic decorum. It is not compatible in many ways, not all, but India at large, Indian culture at large. And we have to acknowledge that countries have cultures. Right? That's why the left says, oh, all these other countries have beautiful cultures, but the United States doesn't. India is a bad place where dreams go to die. If they were smarter, if they were better, if they were brighter than Americans, India wouldn't look like India. And if Indians come here, here are a couple of tips. One, don't be a rude neighbor. Yeah, okay. Don't leer at women. Everyone here. Comment below if you've experienced this. Don't create a bunch of sock accounts so that you can trash the United States of America. Hey, you guys need to police your own and deal with close to 100% of call scams coming from one country. And don't displace Americans through degree mills and placement agencies to do it for 35% less. And certainly if you get into a position of power, at least listen to your workers. At least pay attention to the optics. And don't replace all American workers with exclusively Indians as you bring family member after family member after family member over. Also, don't put, like, 25 people in one bungalow in, like, 25 bunk beds. Yeah, do that. Guess what? We'll be. We'll be good. Like, don't clip your nose at the freaking shopping mall. Don't ram people with carts. Yes, for sale sign is not an open house sign. You cannot Just walk in. Yes. And though I know, I get it, but like, when you walk down the street with your buddy holding hands, we think it's weird. Yeah, Assimilation would help too. You can. You can keep the belly dancing. That's okay. We like the belly dancing. Well, the belly dancing is fine. No, there's nothing wrong with the belly dancing because, you know, it's definitely more tasteful than the kind of dancing that takes place in the United States, which is, you know, you see that now online with the super chats, people sticking their. Their dollar bills and the digital panties. We don't do that. We actually. We treat you like you're belly dancing your way through college. It's time for Reverse Super Chat. Rumble Wallet.

If you're belly dancing your way through college, probably. No, dad, this has been Reverse Super Chat. Do they do that? Do they belly dance their way through college? I didn't. I truffle shuffled my way. Is that lucrative enough? Yeah. Yeah, it is, Gerald. I've got a lot of truffle to shuffle over. Here I am, see. Hammered my way through college because I was celibate. Ah, can't touch. Just. I just saw you grab the ladies that were out of style. It's true. Being celibate, you know, it's a crazy. It's like a superpower. A lot of ladies are not used to hearing, wow, nine times. Anyway, I like that you realize that you need to walk it. No, I knew in advance and still did it. Speaking of walking it back, King Kong, the LGBTQ AIP trend is dead. Gender. Let me just posit this. Gender is absolutely not a social construct. People say, oh, sex and gender are different, but they can't keep it straight. Gender is not a social construct. It is innate. It is biological. Transgenderism. Modern sexual identity. Modern gender identity is. We now have data to prove this, at least partially so. In the 18 to 24 year old demographic identifying as lesbian, gay, bisexual, it went down by 25% since its peak at 2022. 2023. Think about that. Peaked 2023, huh? Then it dropped starkly. You don't see that anywhere else, by the way, when people say it's just like gay. No, gay has been a relic, not relatively a remarkably stable percentage of the population of Earth for a very long time. It's, you know, about 2%, about 1 to 2%. But the LGBTQ, bisexual, pansexual, genderqueer, trans, all of these things that you've just kind of heard about in the last 10 years and were told that some Native American tribe practiced it and they inevitably didn't. That went up. Now it's come down. Biggest drop, by the way, was women 18 to 24 years old identifying as bisexual, which could also, to be fair, just mean, excuse the stats, because they were trying to be cool. That's a lot of girls in college, they say they're bisexual because they think it's cool. You can check the references. Here's one thing, though, too. It's pretty important. It's down by 20 something percent. From 2015 to 2022. It went up by about 150%. Wow. The total umbrella of LGBTQ AIP. It was a very cool time to be gay. It was a very. It was a carte blanche. It was a. It was a get out of bullying free card for a very long time because no one wanted to touch you. Everything was hate speech. And let's, let's look at this. Yeah, we've gotten into the fact that, you know, it was largely geographically dependent, politically motivated in a lot of ways. You know, it depended on your political party, it depended where you lived, what kind of municipality. Also the policy. So let's look at this. It peaked, but, but then you saw 27 states ban trans surgeries or interventions, chemical interventions, in a lot of cases for minors. Now, it may not seem like a big deal. Guarantee you it's a contributing factor, because then you see this number go down, identifying the number of people who identified as neither male NOR Female in 1824. That's down 43%, 43%. And the number of people identifying as heterosexual, up 14%. This coincides pretty closely with 27 states putting a ban intervention. The reason that that matters, and we've talked about this, is 75 to 90% of kids who don't transition. If you don't intervene, if they say they think they're trans, they grow out of it. They grow out of it, versus if you do intervene, 0%, 0% grow out of It. So that definitely plays a role, along with X being purchased by Elon, along with Rumble, along with people being able to hear the truth. Because think about this for a second. It was. It was demographic dependent. Right. Gen Z was a huge portion of that. And then the top cities with trans lgbtqiap identifying kids, San Francisco, Austin, Portland, Seattle, Boston, the left will say, well, that's because people are free to be themselves. So here's the thing. You don't think that that's the case in major cities like, I don't know, Dallas, major cities like Charlotte, like these, these are still blue cities, but they're surrounded by neighboring cities that, you know, have traditional values and they don't actually protect transitioning children. They're not places that go out of their way. Right. To, you know, influence the youth. Yeah. It's not just protected, it's promoted. Right. It's promoted being a completely normal, go ahead and explore, go down this path kind of thing. And listen, I don't agree with Bill Maher very often, but when he was making these points, I don't remember six months ago or something like that, not the ones we're making today, but just like, this is weird that certain places have higher growth of this than others. Is there something special in the water in Dayton or whatever it was. Right, right. It was like making a really good social construct point like, this is not just reality. This is a social reality being imposed on people in places like Portland, in Seattle, for instance, especially Portland. It's. It's oftentimes like a thing like if you're CIS that's like, whoa, whoa, you're. You're kind of weird. You're sus. Yeah, no, exactly. Right. It's like, I used to be cis, then I grew up. Then I realized it's more. There's. There's a spectrum and there's more to it. And. And then my parents stopped paying my rent, so now I'm just straight again. Well, think. If you're raised in most of these cities, let's say, like Austin, Portland, Seattle, Boston, you're a kid, you're going to school, you're taught that there are countless genders. You're reading queer like me, you're reading pornography that involves pederasty, you're reading literature that is being pumped into your brain saying you can be whatever you want before you even have the ability to make sexual decisions. And then you have, depending on the state policy that will chemically intervene to transition you. And then you have some states, by the way, that even if they're not your state, you can flee there and your parents have no say. Well, what do you think happens when you're bombarded with that? What do you think happens when you're bombarded with any information on a subject you don't understand when you're young, it's gonna be warped. And a lot of these states that banned intervention, a lot of these states, same thing, they banned certain books. No, not To Kill a Mockingbird, not Huckleberry Finn, but, you know, hardcore pornography for children. And now we're seeing the pendulum swing the other way. I think we are going to look back, and I've said this for a long time as a very dark period of history for the United States. I don't think it's one of those movements that's going to carry on into the future. I think you'll always have some people who are cross dressers. Sure. As far as our culture being constructed around a very small, very angry, very unstable minority of people who want to groom children, I think we're done with that. By the way, 11:00am Eastern, if you're watching clip, that's when we stream every day of the week. And you guys let me know if you've seen this switch, if you've seen this transition, for lack of a better word, where you live. But this is a good sign when people say nothing is better. Hey, I get that it's an executive order. There are only two genders, but it all starts with culture. Right? We were banned from campus from saying there are only two genders. Those change my minds are banned in certain countries. You couldn't say that now people are unafraid to say it. And here's the real silver lining, other kids are able to listen. Think about that. For a period of time, kids didn't hear any of the counter argument. Now they hear it everywhere. It starts with information and you doing your part. It's a change in culture. Yeah, absolutely. It's a massive win too, by the way. Like you said. I think we're gonna look back on this point in history and go, why? Why? What were we doing to our children? Right, Listen, if you're in public education right now with your kids, think twice about it. Because even though these numbers are trending the right way, there's still a lot of places where public schools are like, yeah, little Johnny over there is now little Jamie. Right. And you gotta go along with it, otherwise you're a hateful person. So just be very, very aware of what's being told to your children. Let me do a thought experiment. Let's just assume for a second that you're one of those libertarians who adults can do whatever they want to do and you believe that it's morally neutral. The transgenderism movement, okay, you believe it's morally neutral. So let's compare it to a book club versus a debate club in your high school. Now, let's say that there was a trend that existed for decades where for some reason, if kids joined the debate club, they were 12 times more likely to kill themselves. 42% of the debate club had suicidal ideation and attempted suicide. Let's just say that. But you didn't see that with a book club. Morally neutral. And you knew that if you took your child out of the debate club, put them in the book club, that suicidal attempt or suicidal ideation, that attempt goes down to 5%. Would you do it? Or would you step in and encourage them to stay in the debate club and marry them to the debate club? Say no. Debate club is who you are. It's what you are. To guarantee that they forever are on that track of a 42% attempted suicide rate, just assume it's morally neutral. What would you do to protect the life of your children? That's your duty. If your child identifies as transgender, it's a fact. The left will use the argument and say, well, actually, it only gets better. Sure, it's not better pre op or post op for adults, but if you transition them younger, it's better. Well, first off, the numbers actually aren't there yet. Second, it still isn't anywhere near the general population. It's still an unbelievably elevated risk. So if you don't allow chemical intervention, if you don't transition them, they're going to grow out of it. You're a parent. What do you do? Assume moral neutrality. Just make the decision pragmatically like, you know, societies have done since forever. Was there something Noodles or Jill? No. Okay, next one. Brandon Herrera, friend of the show. Yeah, he's been on the show. Right. We had him on. I'm actually, I think I was supposed to go to the range with him, but I don't know now if he's going to be representative, that's probably not. Probably not in the cards. Yeah, he won his GOP nomination after Tony Gonzalez dropped out due to, like, all kinds of weird sex scandals, suicide, stuff like that. Bad deal. So here's the thing, too, that people aren't talking about. 36% of Texans own guns. And this can be applied to a Lot of states. I know it's the one area where there's crossover. Quite a few of those people are Democrats. But still, when we talk about single issue voters, if you believe the second amendment is paramount, if you believe that it should be a non negotiable, if gun owners who wanted to maintain the freedom to own guns got out and voted, you could control a huge portion, most of the electorate. Do you guys know that that just in the district of Brandon Herrera, 150,000 gun owning voters, a lot of people didn't turn out and certainly didn't turn out for Brandon Herrera. So I want you to remember this because a lot of gun owners, they're not necessarily people assume they're politically active. They want to be left alone. Just know the power that you have. So if you're going to galvanize people not just to get in on lawsuits, you know, whether it's the NRA or another nonprofit, just apply that same zeal to getting out and voting because you wield a lot more power then you realize. Now of course Bren Herrera won. They're trying to refer to him as a gun tuber. He won by being elected from his peers. They seized on this. Here's some headlines from the New York Times. A sex scandal and Mein Kampf give Democrats hope in West Texas race. Meaning in the general from People magazine. Texas congressional frontrunner bragged about owning Mein Kampf in English in a newly resurfaced clip. It's not newly resurfaced and he didn't brag about owning Mein Kampf. We'll get to the context. It's the opposite of what they're trying to make you believe. You don't hate the media enough. Here's Rolling Stone. They really are the worst. They wrote, accused sexual harasser. GOP candidate steps down. An apparent neo Nazi takes his place. Wow, that's wrong like three different ways. You got to be kidding me. And honestly, if assuming all that was true, I still don't know which one I would pick. Sexual harassment neo Nazi. I mean she did self immolate is the person that apparently had an affair with. And this tells you what they fear. Not Brendan, the other guy. Because by the way, it's. No, it's not. It's just, it's not by chance that they go, Brandon, they go, Herrera. People are going to see that last name, Brandon. We have to make sure that people think he's a Nazi. He's one of those Hispanic Nazis. Yes. So let's go through some claim truths here. Here's the claim Brandon Herrera is a Nazi. This house majority pack actually circulated this clip. It's not new. You didn't have to go digging to find it. As a matter of fact, not only did this clip take place, there are follow up clips where he has addressed it. But they want you to believe that Brandon Herrera is trying to bury the fact he's a fan of Hitler. Great points. That's my copy at my house, next to a bunch of the German stick grenades. I got the 1939 edition printed in English just because I thought it was wild. You couldn't buy it on Amazon, but you can buy the Communist Manifesto in Daska Patal. Yes. He's really angling for that West Texas Nazi vote. Oil mine Fuhrer the Brain. Why are you doing an interview with Screech, bro? I mean, it's weird. So here's the truth. I mean, obviously this is a lie. It's just. It's very obvious it's a lie. So we'll show you the clip. And cut. He was mocking Mein Kampf on his podcast, like, in a multitude of ways. And he even joked that people would take it out of context. You would have to believe that Rolling Stone, that people that New York Times didn't just watch an extra 30 seconds. If you want to believe that they are not lying to you, here it is. Have you actually read this book? It's dog. Yeah. It is so schizo. It sucks. It is. It's so bad. It's all over the. They're just gonna cut segments out of this. Brandon's like, yeah, I own a copy. Oh, great reading. They just segment this and you're like, well, here's our career. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Cut it up for the intro. So it makes me look like a unhinged Nazi. Right. We all just agree. Yeah, this is how bad the media is. How much more severe of an example would you need? Yeah, think about this for a second. He's literally going like, yeah, by the way, I have it next to these grenades. It's obvious he's a collector. So he explained. And it's just on. It's just crazy to me how this is. It's just a horribly written book. Yeah. And I bet you someone's gonna take it out of context and say that, oh, yeah, we love Minecamp. And they joke about it and Rolling Stone and people still try and sell you that this guy is a neo Nazi. The only way it could be worse is like, if he was a Jewish scholar who had it, by the way, I own multiple copies of the Quran. You Muslim? Well, it keeps burning them. No, I don't. He got. He has a stoke that fire. Keep it as spare. Tp. I'm not gonna lie. Oh, okay. Sometimes you need some extra if you're laying around. It's a very poorly written novel, the Quran novel. The media. It's not just that they lie. They absolutely. For people who complain about patriarchy infantilizing them, they are infantilizing you. They don't believe that you can read the words of someone with whom you disagree. And they actually, they want the public to think that that, that automatically makes you a representative of the disagreeing viewpoint. That would, by the way, that would include every single general in a war who wanted to understand the enemy. That would include every member of a team who wanted to study the other team's playbooks, the kind of methods they use practice to be more effective. That would mean I'm a devil worshiper because I read Harry Potter. There you go. Pretty much Satanist. I've actually read the Satanic Bible. Whoa. So I guess I really am a devil worshiper. By the way, in case you guys want to know, it's all bullshit. Levay didn't even believe in God. He was just like, ah, we hate God so much that we're just going to actually figuratively worship Satan because we want to piss off Christians. So they I have to ask this question. I go, how do we have people, generation of people have more access to information, including, you know, knowledge academically, technically, and also access to information, for example, on fitness, on health. How do we have a generation of people with more tools at their disposal than ever being fatter, sicker and dumber, less literate. Well, maybe you should not only look at your institutions, education, but media. They want to guilt you from reading about evil throughout history. Now do you think they would feel the same way in reading about slavery and vilifying those who advocated for it? No one here is a Nazi and Brandon Herrera is absolutely not. Here's another truth. He even had a funny bit regarding the self deletion of Hitler on his channel. It's funny, it couldn't be clearer in context. You don't hate the media enough. In today's video, we're going to be talking about killing Hitler. And if our children are going to look up to anybody, they should be looking up to somebody like the guy who killed Hitler. I may not know his name, but I do know this. The man who killed Hitler has got to be a personal hero of mine. Yes, Hitler killed Hitler. All jokes aside, today you have the death of Adolf Hitler as next up in our historic assassination series. Can't wait till they find a way to make me fucking racist for killing Hitler. That'll do it. So 1, 2, 3, 20 times where he walks into it and jokes about. I can't wait until they take this out of context and they say that I'm pro Hitler. Watch. People are. And they do it anyway. So look, I'm just telling you guys, if you are a gun owner, wield the political power that you have. Yeah. And you know what, I'm at the point, like, yeah, just be. Let's be a single issue voter at this point. Great. Go out if you want to own guns. If you believe the Second amendment is important, go vote for Brandon Herrera. But really vote for Brandon Herrera just to prove that the media doesn't have this power anymore. We saw that with Donald Trump. It should happen here. I also think he's a good candidate across the board. Just to be clear. I wouldn't support him if I didn't think that was the case. Doesn't mean I agree with him on everything. But my God, what they are trying to do to him. He's probably the most egregious example I can think of. Yeah, he's a veteran too, isn't he? Brandon Herrera? Is he? I'm trying to remember. Maybe I'm misspeaking for some reason. I thought he was. I don't, I don't know. I don't want to misspeak. Yeah, but maybe you said what they're trying to do. They're. This is an egregious, like over the top, obvious hit job. This isn't just like a political thing where you have a difference of opinion and there's some gray area and so we can kind of hit you from different angles. This is. We're saying something about you that is completely untrue and fabricated. And we are kind of not even taking any of the context into account. I know I'm sounding like a record that's kind of broken. We've done this a lot of times. Isn't there a point though at which this becomes election interference? Yes. This isn't like, hey, we like this guy, this candidate, he represents our values. This person doesn't represent our values based on xyz. This is, you're a Nazi because you own this book. Even though 10 seconds later they're making fun of it. They're making fun of Hitler, they're deleting Hitler. They're Doing, like, walking into it full, like, how do you not have laws that protect. And I'm not, like, saying, oh, you can't speak freely. I get it. But, no, I think the right wing. You need to get litigious. I mean, do you see Andrew? Yeah. He might have a chance for a lawsuit here with Rolling Stone. Yeah. He should be able to do that, because people will not go and read further. They will just read headlines. They'll look at news stories, and then the media will run it like a cycle. They'll quote each other as the source and say, well, the Rolling Stones said. And they'll put it in a headline, and they'll protect themselves by putting something lower. Like what happened with me in New York Post. Exactly. Steven Crowder was a sexual harassment. It was. If someone was reporting that my best friend since 12 saw my balls once, it's like, oh, okay. Yeah. And they go. But the headline says, ah. Can you believe this toxic work? It doesn't involve any of you. This is what they do. I've been through it. I know what they're doing with him. And you were just making a point, Josh, that I've only. I've only known you for a few years, and I've seen your balls twice. Yes, you have. And you saw the bruise on my butt, the exact shape of Texas. Yeah, that's what I said. I was like, dale, looks like Texas. Look, guys, you won't believe it. I have a bruise on my ass. It's the exact shape of Texas. And, Josh, like, I can spot Amarillo. I'll be there by morning. It was bizarre. And I don't remember how I got it. Hey, look, it's the Lebotics. That was too far. That was too far for a pun. All right, all right. So I'm trying to think. Was there anything else on that? No. All right, we have. He's. He's not a veteran. Right, Noodles? Yeah. No. Okay, my bad, my bad, my bad. No, he just. He seems like it. Yeah. The crowd he hangs out with and. Yeah, you know, doing the gun reviews and all that. And by the way, what's wrong with a guy being if he's a successful gun tuber? What that really means is he started. He started a business. He's an expert in his field. He's also started up other companies. Like, shouldn't we have have people who run for office who represent some people in their district? Why do you have to be a career politician? That doesn't disqualify anybody. I don't care if the guy's a mechanic. I don't care if he's a YouTuber. I don't care if he is a small business owner. It's no different than being a guy who reviews cars, right? I mean, it's a perfectly legal business. There's nothing wrong with it. There's nothing illegal about it. He does. He. He works with automatic weapons. He has permits. He does all the things he needs to do. It's all legal. Yep. What's wrong with that? Nothing. They just want you to believe that he's a Nazi. And that's where we are. He's a Nazi. Everything is racist. Everything is sexist. Oh, that's what I was gonna say. Let's pull this up for a rumble premium. There was a girl out there who accused Andrew Wilson. She flat out called him a rapist. I was gonna say, yeah, she just said he's a rapist multiple times. Who did he supposedly rape? Well, I think what's funny about it is her only defense would be an argument that Rachel Wilson is a rapist too. Because they both made the case. They both said like, oh, yeah, I don't need to ask consent to my husband or wife for wake up sex. Oh, that's the dumbest thing. Yeah. He goes, I don't ask consent. He goes, sometimes I wake up and she's on me. It's great. And that's what he's. It was a joke. That's the relationship. The closest thing you can find to any but her calling him a rapist. Hey, I hope that he sues. He did come out and post on that. Like, all she needs to do is say sorry. Yes. For calling him a rapist. Yeah, she wasn't. She didn't put anything in there other than, like, he is a rapist. And here's the problem. People will look at it and go, like, okay, it's one person on a podcast. But then later on, when people go, this guy's becoming too influential, too powerful, you'll see an article that says, Andrew Wilson once accused of being a rapist by someone who has no connection to him, who's never met him, but said it on a stream. That's why you have to establish a record. And by the way, same thing in your place of employment. You see this play out in the public sphere. You need to do it in your private life, because you see this happen all the time. Namely from privileged, suburban, white, liberal women. If they can get away with it, they will falsely label you a racist, a rapist, a Nazi, any of the above, which we really try and avoid doing here. But every now and then you're like, nah, that guy's probably a rapist. It's the glasses. So this next part, I want to be as contextual as possible. So first let me show the clip that many of you have seen from Tucker Carlson discussing unconditional surrender regarding Iran, the United States from this weekend. If there's one consistent lesson of history, it means unconditional surrender means foreign troops get to rape your wife and daughter. Everyone can feel that. That's like the most atavistic instinct there is. And so to avoid that, people will do anything. And so that's why it requires that level of force to get a population subdued to the point of unconditional surrender. That's why. And so in this case, of course, we don't have the ground force necessary. I don't think Americans would voluntarily participate in it. I just don't think we can do that. It would require weapons of mass destruction. It would require, presumably, nuclear weapons in order to do that. And let's stop. Let's not lie to ourselves. We're moving toward that. Now, before I get to my opinions here, first off, that was not taken out of context. Full link in the description. You can go and check out. Watch the whole show. Because I saw a lot of people and there were false fact checks online saying that's AI. I saw people responding. I'm a fan of Tucker. That's a. Well, now that you know it isn't, do you stand that meant that this was so obviously so egregious that you were willing to dismiss it as AI? It's not. He's referring to the American military. He'll say he's not. He is. There's no other context. Also, he's doing this bait and switch where he says you'd have to subdue the population. No one is looking to subdue the population. The overwhelming majority of Iranians want the United States. That doesn't mean that it is our job to go and liberate them. But they do not feel whatsoever that American troops are going there to rape their women and children. They are the ones arguing against Tucker. So when he says subdue these, what we're talking about is subduing a very, very small percentage, a very small number of people who are part of the government of the Islamic Republic of Iran, who, by the way, in no way represent their people. Let me be clear. Being critical of the US Involvement right. In Iran, I get it. Completely reasonable. Being suspicious of it, becoming a Quagmire. Yep. You don't want to see Americans get killed. I don't want to see Americans get killed. I certainly don't want Americans dying on behalf of any other nation, which is namely why I have a problem with Iran, who've killed many American troops. But, and we're going to get some other examples with Tucker Carlson here. And I've invited him on the show and I'll invite him again. Same thing. Ben Shapiro, Mark Levin, Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, Nick Fuentes, all of them. Nick Fuentes is the one who showed up. And I disagree with him on a whole lot. Tucker, I think it'd be a reasonable time to do so. There are people out there who, whether accidentally or by design, almost always line up against the United States and against certainly our troops somehow end up smearing the United States at large on the global stage. I don't know where in that pattern you say, okay, maybe it's no longer happenstance. To be clear, the claim can no longer be made that Tucker Carlson is more MAGA than people who are critical of him. I mean, Tucker was the one who called the attack on Iran absolutely disgusting and evil. That's not, I disagree with it. That's this action that was decided upon by the president is evil. That's President Trump is the bad guy. Just like they're going, Everyone knows the unconditional surrender is the raping of your women and your girls. Everyone knows that. That's news to me, certainly, as it relates to American troops. Right. So Trump responded. He was very clear. He said, Tucker has lost his way. I knew that a long time ago. And he's not maga. MAGA is saving our country. MAGA is making our country great again. MAGA is frankly, America first. And Tucker is none of those things. And Tucker is really not smart enough to understand that. Now, what Tucker was referring to in context was again a statement from President Trump where he was talking about the terms that would be acceptable to ending the attack against the Islamo fascist regime. He wrote, there will be no deal with Iran except unconditional surrender. After that, the selection of a great and cape great and acceptable leaders. We and many of our wonderful and very brave allies and partners will work tirelessly to bring Iran back from the brink of destruction, making it economically bigger, better, stronger than ever before. So whether you agree with him or not, this is clearly directly addressing, especially if you watch his show, President Trump saying unconditional surrender, Islamic Republic of Iran, American military. Tucker says, well, that means that, that means they're going to Rape your women and children. All right, so. So let's actually take that clip a little bit longer. In context. We led with it. Here it is again for those of you who missed it. And tell me where you line up. Hey, if you think we're. If you think we're missing something, then I have a couple more. If there's one consistent lesson of history, it means unconditional surrender means foreign troops get to rape your wife and daughter. Everyone can feel that. That's like the most atavistic instinct there is. And so to avoid that, people will do anything. Not to me or to the Iranian people. So that's why it requires that level of force to get a population subdued to the point of unconditional surrender. That's why. And so in this case, we don't have the ground force necessary. I don't think Americans would voluntarily participate in it. I just don't think we can do that. It would require weapons of mass destruction. It would require, presumably, nuclear weapons in order to do that. And let's stop. Let's not lie to ourselves. We're moving toward that. Unconditional surrender means that they will rape your women and children, meaning American troops, to which American soldiers said, we would have taken unconditional surrender from Venezuela before this. That's carte blanche. I didn't know that was the agreement. Here's the truth. It makes no sense whatsoever. It makes no sense in the context of the United States and how we have carried out wars or military interventions. Whenever someone does this, they say, well, everyone. Everyone knows that it's usually a trick and it's usually bull crap. There are very few things that everyone knows. And if it's something that you've never really heard and is not widely believed, if it's something that's unique to the person saying it, then the American, they're gonna rape all of your women. Everyone knows that. It's a trick. Don't tell me. Show me. So here's the thing, too. It's remarkably inconsistent. And his guest, I believe on that show, I don't remember that, or the previous show, was someone who's parroted Communist Chinese talking points, I always ask that there's some kind of consistency. And when there isn't consistency, okay, that sounds some alarm bells. But when I see consistency on the other side of someone who is consistently inconsistent in their application, meaning outrage only for one side, where I'm twisting words, and then on the flip side, I expect people to read between the lines when I say something outrageous right away, well, that doesn't seem like this person is acting in good faith. Remember Tucker Carlson now implying that American troops will rape your women? Took great offense to Mike Huckabee saying that the IDF tries to avoid killing civilians. Do you know what Israel does? They send page messages and they send texts to every cell phone in Gaza and they say, we're going to hit this particular target. They drop leaflets and they announce where they're going to hit. Nobody does that. The US doesn't do that. Israel does that in order to prevent. Let me finish this. They do this in order to prevent civilian casualties. As an American, permit me a moment of outrage because I said many civilians have been killed. And you said, right in the middle of your elaborate defense of the IDF's killing of civilians, including children, you said, they do a better job than the United States does. That's my country and my government. What flag am I wearing here? Well, I'm asking why is it? What flag am I wearing? Well, that's, of course, my flag as well. And it's my flag. It's who I serve. So why the dig at the United States in the middle? It's not a dig at them. No, no, no, no. You. You've totally misrepresented. What did you mean by that? I did not take a dig at the US What I'm saying is the IDF is more humane than the U.S. yeah. So what Mike Huckabee said, whether you agree with him or not on the idf, that's a dig against the United States, but not the implication that American soldiers are rapists. If there's one consistent lesson of history, it means unconditional surrender means foreign troops get to rape your wife and daughter. Everyone can feel that. That's like the most atavistic instinct there is. Now, we can do the word play thing and say, well, he didn't say American troops. He was just talking about the context of Iran and Donald Trump saying unconditional surrender and talked about subduing the people of Iran. Who's doing. There is no world in which he is discussing anyone other than members of the United States military. I just. Do you guys see it? It's using, just like the left, it's using outrage as a political tool when you don't really mean it. What do I mean here? I don't think he was outraged at Mike Huckabee saying that. I really don't. I think he was playing a game. Yeah. And I think that he was implying that the American military is doing something wrong here because he also said that the action which involves the military, it's the only action is evil and disgusting. Here's the other thing. If you don't apply it equally, like, if you're really concerned about this phantom rape from American troops, well, why is it never discussed that there is an actual rape culture in the Islamic Republic? There's no protection from rape. There's no such thing as spousal rape, including, by the way, not like here in the United States, but forced marriages. So you can be forced to marry, and there's still no protection against violent rape. Rape in Iran under the current regime requires four male witnesses. Meaning if there's three, it's a false accusation and you get 80 lashes. Okay, let's narrow it down. Two witnesses to a rape. You're a woman, you come forward. Two guys say, we saw this person raped. Very unlikely. Because they kind of want to keep the status quo. You still are the one who gets punished. Let's go back to the 2022 protests. The Iran security forces, they used rape as a form of punishment for detainees that documented at least 26 men, 12 women, and many children as young as 12. It's a culture of rape. It's a policy of rape. It's something that American feminists are very silent on, which we've discussed quite a bit. But if you're going to bring up phantom rape, hey, why isn't there a consistent application of the government that condones that abets rape and punishes women for simply coming forward for rape? Now, I know what you're. To be clear, that last one's not as bad as you think. The men there, the 26 men were. They were raped by women, so. Or a woman. Help. Rape. Was that you and bdsm? No. I'm sure you guys. Did you guys hear my stomach growling? No. Really? I just realized I didn't eat enough this morning. That made you realize. No, it was before. Stop it. Weird. It was before that. All right, I might have been that, too. Now, here's something else. If we apply it right, I defended Tucker, and I still do. He absolutely had every right to interview Putin. I would interview Putin if I was given the opportunity. I would interview Hitler if I was given the opportunity. Yeah, I'd kill the shit out of baby Hitler. Don't get me wrong. It wouldn't even be a question. But if Hitler. If Hitler was already in power, if Hitler was in a position of influence, of course I would interview him, and I would try and illuminate people as to why his influence was a bad thing. That's my job, is not to say no, because I want to platform somebody. Well, someone's already platformed. So I have no problem with him interviewing Putin. Then when he though, when he did the propaganda piece of the Russian subway and he went to the Russian grocery stores again, he just said, look how cheap this stuff is. But he didn't tell you that. It may be cheap to you in American, but it costs an entire month's salary from someone in Russia. It could be an accident that he was doing the kind of propaganda that you see on state run television in Russia. It could be an accident that he's also. So not just saying this intervention is wrong, but sort of out there parroting the lines that the Islamic Republic would want him to be parroting, you know, that American troops are invaders and rapists, which is, by the way, in diametric opposition to the Iranian people. It could be just happenstance. And it could be happenstance that he gave a monologue just one episode prior to this. I believe that if you put side by side, is eerily, eerily similar to exactly what you hear on Chinese state run media regarding China. The United States has reigned in a unipolar world. That's the color. There's just one pole, there's one center of gravity, there's one power center, and that's been the United States. But that has changed over the past several years, maybe decades, certainly since China was admitted into the WTO in 2001. Now it is a multipolar world. You've heard that phrase, no doubt. And China is now a peer with the United States at least almost no matter how you measure it. Population, of course. Much bigger. Military power, well, we're not quite sure, but certainly from a technological and industrial output standpoint at least appears. And then on a pure economic level, well, China has a bigger economy, a bigger real economy than the United States. So yes, China's economy, real economy. Well, that's not true. Who gets to set the terms for commerce and diplomacy and everything else that happens on the globe? Well, if you were to reach a diplomatic solution, there would be in effect a power sharing agreement between these two countries. You take the East, I take the West. Here are the terms. But unfortunately, no such agreement, formal or informal, has been reached. This other country that says least as powerful as we are, called China. Different system, language, culture, etc. What's the system? But at least every bit as powerful. And so you can't make unilateral decisions anymore. It's sort of that moment that many parents face when used to barking orders at their kids, they realize the kid is taller than them and like, like it's a new relationship. In some ways, you're always the parent, but you can't just bark orders anymore. That's pretty much where we are with China. Even as we speak, there's probably some symposium underway in Washington about what will we do if China invades Taiwan. Well, of course, from China's perspective, Taiwan is part of China. It just sort of run off for the past 75 years, but it's still part of China. That's their view. And the United States, of course, isn't in a position to stop the reclamation of Taiwan. Let's stop lying. And yet, only in D.C. is that not obvious. Taiwan has been an integral part of China since ancient times. It never was, is not and never will be a country. Its return to China is a victorious outcome of the Chinese people's wall of resistance against Japanese aggression and the Second World War. Now let's just assume that all of that is happenstance, okay? And let's just assume that it's happenstance that they actually were running Tucker Carlson on Russia Today. That Iranian television was running Tucker Carlson. Let's just assume that because you. I get it. Hitler liked sandwiches and I too like a sandwich. In other words, it doesn't mean that you are agreeing with them, but consistently. Let's look at the coincidentally wrong talking points. You have to get all these wrong and just happen to line up with China. They have a bigger real economy. Well, that's not true. Taiwan has always been a part of it and that's not in dispute. Well, okay, that's not true. And by the way, that wasn't mainstream conservative right wing MAGA ever at any point. You guys remember during COVID right, CDC were talking about the who. They refused to even acknowledge Taiwan as any type of an independent state. Remember that famous Skype call where they hung up Iran? Okay, the fact that, you know you need to subdue the people. The people are saying, no, no one's looking to subdue us. People are liberating us. Whether you agree with the policy or not. How do you get the right wrong talking points all the time? It's a valid question for people to ask when they see a pattern at this point in time. And let's say that you just believe it's coincidence. And I am not trying to say that someone cannot hold any of those opinions. Okay, well, the fight is over. The conservative right. The fight is over. America first. The fight is over maga. It's very clear. Tucker Carlson is saying that China is at least equal to or more powerful than the United States. And so obviously they can be the ones dictating the terms. That's his view. China is equal to the United States in power or more powerful. President Trump's view is that we need to reduce the power of China. And that's all of these moves. And that's important. That's why President Trump and Tucker are at odds. You look at Venezuela, you look at Iran, by the way, Cuba, we got you on a peripheral vision here. There next, it's all about reducing power to China. And it goes deeper. But in case you guys don't know than just energy, it goes to minerals, it goes to nitrogen, it goes to so many supplies that are incredibly important going through the Strait of Hormuz that China is reliant on. And if China has an ally in Iran, will they control a lot and they, God forbid, could become as powerful as Tucker Carlson wants you to believe that they are. I have told you for a very long time that China is a threat, but China could be a paper tiger if we simply take the right steps in policy. And by the way, no president has done anything of more significance than President Trump in dealing with China. So you do kind of have to decide America first maga. Do we believe that China is our primary adversary, is our primary threat? Get rid of Israel, get rid of even Islamic encroachment. Do we believe that China is a good faith actor? And if we believe that we have levers within our power, should President Trump pull them in order to prevent China from becoming a larger global problem militarily, economically, is that in America's interest? Is America first hey, Communist China bad. And we want to reduce their power. That's President Trump. And that is my view, provided Right. We're not wasting money on forever wars, of course. Or is the view it's just a people who have a different system. We say free enterprise, you say communism. And by the way, they're just as powerful. So there's nothing we can do about it. We should let them determine the lay of the land. That's the future of the conservative right. I think it's important to note, don't trust China. China is see that guy gets it. Yeah, that is important to note. Yeah. And we all got it only a few years ago and I think most of you still do. And then I would add exhibit I guess what Z at this point, his most recent guest. Tucker Carlson's recent guest is Sagar or Sagar Enjeti of Breaking Point. Also strikingly similar to the CCP propaganda talking points on a regular basis. At the same time we talked about China earlier, we weren't able to cover this bridge. But there's this new video going out and going massively viral for the right reasons. It's not AI. China has now officially opened the world's tallest bridge. They did it in less than four years. The Grand Canyon Bridge is 2050ft above the river and spans 4600ft across. Quote, insane. And you can see beautiful that is the waterfall features. It must be nice to live in a real country. You know, last time that we were doing stuff like this was when Hoover Dam. Do you know why China can build so many cool futuristic infrastructures like this world's highest bridge, which just opened on September 28, located in China's Guizhou Province? Because China allow billionaires to do whatever they want to achieve maximum profits for themselves, the Chinese government designs its policies to ensure benefits can be brought to the maximum number of ordinary people. Really? Do you believe that? Do you believe that? Do you believe that the Communist Chinese Party is acting in the best interests of all of their people? Do you believe that China's gotten it right? Do you believe they just have a different system than the United States? I don't. And Tucker, I mean, I know we've, you know, full disclosure. When he used to be on Fox News, I would appear on. He would host Fox and Friends in the morning. Appear quite, quite often. I've spent time with him, was always friendly. I just disagree on a fundamental level right now at this point. And I know that you will sit down and discuss with every Tom, Dick and Harry or Clint Howard look alike who claims that there are more Christians in Palestine and they're less oppressed or someone who parrots communist Chinese propaganda talking points. I'll talk about it with you and I agree with you and probably more than most people do. I don't think that the United States should be acting on behalf of any foreign nations ever. I don't think we should be writing a blank check to the Ukraine was against it quite publicly, to be clear. But my starting off point definitely as America first is a communist alliance of people who want to see the destruction of the west and the United States aren't the good guys. I still do view America and certainly America under President Trump as good and global communist bad actors as bad. Now we can determine which policies going forward where it's appropriate for intervention, if at all. But this is something that we all knew to be true because it's not. Just to be clear about the military, about the economy. Remember, you were the victim of Chinese propaganda globally. Everyone was. And you saw their thumbs on the scales, remember, for a long time, according to these international governing bodies who you were upset with. We're not even talking about the CDC here. But the who, Covid, came from a wet market and a bad. And anyone who spoke out against that or anyone who even recognized critics of China like Taiwan as an entity, well, you didn't exist. This is the danger of Chinese propaganda because it upended the global economy by design, some would argue a biological weapon. With COVID don't forget this. The WHO considered Taiwan's membership. Hello. I couldn't hear your question. Okay, yeah, let me repeat the question. No, that's okay. Let's move to another one then. Right, because I'm actually curious on talking about Taiwan as well on Taiwan's case. Goodbye now. Hey, let's say you agree with Tucker and Taiwan's not a thing and communist China has a right to take it and subjugate those people, even though we're generally against use of force and we're not capable of stopping it. Right. But let's assume that. Is it ever a good thing to have an official governing body silence all debate or dissent or voices of opposition? How about globally? Is that just another place, another country that is as big and powerful as the United States, who, by the way, may have a different system, or is that something that is trying to usurp everything the American people want here in Western civilization? We do need to have that discussion. I think it's important. And hey, you know what? Maybe we agree.

Episode Title: Trump vs. Tucker: Who is Really America First?
Date: March 9, 2026
Host: Steven Crowder
This episode of Louder with Crowder dissects the escalating rift between former President Donald Trump and media personality Tucker Carlson, centering around competing interpretations of “America First.” Steven Crowder scrutinizes Tucker’s recent rhetoric on military action and geopolitics, questions of loyalty, and patterns of media manipulation. The episode also touches on contemporary culture war issues (gender identity statistics), media hit jobs (Brandon Herrera), and American attitudes toward immigration and assimilation—themes that Crowder weaves into a broad conversation about what it really means to be “America First.”
“At a certain point, he’s never on the side of most Americans.” (Crowder, 03:30)
“If there’s one consistent lesson of history, it means unconditional surrender means foreign troops get to rape your wife and daughter.” (Tucker Carlson, 1:42:00)
“Tucker has lost his way. I knew that a long time ago. And he’s not MAGA ... Tucker is none of those things. And Tucker is really not smart enough to understand that.” (Crowder quoting Trump, 1:49:00)
Crowder identifies what he sees as a concerning pattern of Tucker echoing Russian and Chinese propaganda:
“China has a bigger real economy than the United States.” (Crowder paraphrasing Tucker, 1:57:00)
Crowder draws a line between valid skepticism of foreign intervention and what he perceives as undermining American values or strength.
"China is a threat, but it could be a paper tiger if we simply take the right steps in policy. And by the way, no president has done more than President Trump in dealing with China." (Crowder, 2:02:00)
The hosts challenge listeners to choose:
“Is America First: ‘Communist China bad, and we want to reduce their power’? Or is the view: ‘They’re just as powerful, so let them determine the lay of the land’?” (Crowder, 2:06:00)
On media bias:
“They’re infantilizing you. They don’t believe you can read the words of someone with whom you disagree.” (Crowder, 1:14:00)
“I got the 1939 edition printed in English just because I thought it was wild. You couldn’t buy it on Amazon, but you can buy the Communist Manifesto.” (Brandon Herrera, paraphrased by Crowder, 1:11:00)
“A sex scandal and Mein Kampf give Democrats hope in West Texas race.” (New York Times headline, 1:09:00) “Accused sexual harasser, GOP candidate steps down, an apparent neo-Nazi takes his place.” (Rolling Stone, 1:10:00)
“It peaked in 2023 and now it’s down. How do you see that kind of oscillation if it’s not social?” (Crowder, 06:23)
Crowder argues that restrictive policies on trans medical interventions correlate with dramatic drops in these identification rates, supporting his claim that “transgenderism is a social contagion” rather than an innate trend.
“This is a good sign… it all starts with culture.” (Crowder, 1:34:00)
“It really just looks like a Black person with a giant hunk of watermelon. It does. On a wall.” (Crowder, 00:25:00)
“I have never seen more racist people in my life than Indians ... against other Indians, who they viewed as subhuman.” (Crowder, 00:54:00)
“Isn't there a point at which this becomes election interference?... This is, ‘You're a Nazi because you own this book.’” (Gerald, 1:26:00)
Crowder on Media’s Approach to Information:
“They absolutely ... are infantilizing you. They don't believe that you can read the words of someone with whom you disagree.” (1:14:00)
On Brandon Herrera’s Media Coverage:
“He was mocking Mein Kampf on his podcast ... and he even joked that people would take it out of context. You would have to believe the Rolling Stone didn’t just watch an extra 30 seconds.” (1:12:00)
Crowder on Gen Z Gender Statistics:
“If you don't allow chemical intervention, if you don't transition them, they're going to grow out of it. You're a parent. What do you do?” (1:38:00)
On Tucker Carlson and American Troops:
“Unconditional surrender means that they will rape your women and children, meaning American troops, to which American soldiers said, we would have taken unconditional surrender from Venezuela before this. That's carte blanche. I didn't know that was the agreement.” (1:46:30)
Crowder on China/“Multipolar World”:
“‘China has a bigger real economy than the United States.’ … Well, that’s not true ... That wasn’t mainstream conservative, right wing, MAGA, ever at any point.” (1:59:00)
This episode takes a hard-edged, combative look at what “America First” means in 2026, arguing that it's Trump’s hawkish vision, not Tucker Carlson’s critical isolationism, that truly prioritizes U.S. interests. Crowder accuses much of the right-wing and mainstream media of manipulation, hypocrisy, and even election interference when it suits their ideological purpose. Listeners are left with a call to vigilance: be skeptical of media, engage politically, and demand intellectual consistency from all self-proclaimed conservatives.
