going to be discussing the tariffs coming back

0:41

from China look let me distill this for

0:43

you we're going to make the case the

0:45

tariff war needs to take place so that

0:47

we can avoid actual war that's what the

0:49

Cold War was this is actually more severe

0:52

this is a new Cold War it's to

0:54

avoid an actual war how do you think

0:56

this plays out how do you think it

0:58

ends We'll get into that also. The left

1:01

versus reality. It's a new installment, The Nature

1:03

Edition, because the dire wolf has been the

1:05

point of a lot of debate, but wolves,

1:07

grizzly bears, and seals. What do they have

1:10

in common? Well, conservationists tried to fix the

1:12

ecosystem, and they screwed up the ecosystem. Also,

1:14

Crockets are racist. We'll get to that and

1:16

more, but first, this. constitutional

2:00

law that created

2:02

this country. And some

Hall in Co-host New York,

3:48

April 25th, funniest man alive,

3:50

Nick DiPalo, fresh off of

3:52

his vacation in the Bahamas,

3:54

swimming with pigs, actually. And we

3:57

have, yeah, there you go. There

3:59

you go. She gets apple crazy. Oh,

4:01

she's such a doo bag. Anyways.

4:03

The funny thing is, we created that

4:05

photoshop and then AI made Rosie

4:07

O'Donnell look Asian and it was somehow

4:09

more unsettling. Yeah. I don't know

4:11

what happened. He's so silly. That's Rosie

4:13

O'Donnell. We

4:15

were just learning about that. I for some

4:18

reason thought the Bahamas were the Caribbean and

4:20

then I realized that a lot of places

4:22

we thought were in the Caribbean are not.

4:25

At least the way I, that's what I

4:27

was told by the travel agent. Yes.

4:29

How was it? Was it nice? Oh, was

4:31

tremendous. Yeah. Me and the wife, you know,

4:33

just tremendous, played jeopardy. Did

4:35

you play with Wolf Blitzer?

4:37

Wolf Blitzer looks the same today

4:40

as he did in third grade. Well,

4:42

no. always been a depressed German, a

4:44

seating hairline. No, was a great victory.

4:46

I read a few books and I

4:48

had a Heineken in my hand like

4:50

around the clock. Ah, there's nothing like

4:52

a Heineken on the beach with mine,

4:54

comfort, to relax. And Oh, I read

4:57

that, like in seventh grade. No, this

4:59

is better stuff. All right, we have

5:01

a lot to get to, but this

5:03

is... So, I haven't seen this, but

5:05

apparently immaculate conception among lesbians, because it's

5:07

2025, is alive and well. I

5:10

haven't had sex since Roe v. Wade was

5:12

overturned back in 2021. As soon they announced

5:14

the overturned Roe v. Wade, my wife and

5:16

I decided that we didn't want to risk

5:18

getting pregnant and the only way to really

5:20

prevent that was for both of us to

5:22

close our legs. It's not that we didn't

5:24

want kids, it's that we didn't want either

5:26

one of us to fall pregnant and then

5:28

there'd be complications and us not have access

5:30

to medically necessary abortion. And while we both

5:32

had IUDs at the time, because we weren't

5:34

ready to have a baby, we still liked

5:36

having the idea of an abortion as a

5:38

backup plan, just in case. All this to

5:40

say, we haven't had sex since 2021, but

5:42

my wife is pregnant. Now, you might be

5:44

thinking, Cass, she definitely cheated on you, but

5:46

she told me she didn't and she's given

5:49

me no reason for me not to believe

5:51

her. Except that she is with child. I

5:53

am so confused right now. I can't

5:55

do the math. I even do it.

5:57

I can't even... She

6:00

can't either. If God wants us to

6:02

have a kid, he will impregnate

6:04

one of us. God hates you.

6:06

We are expecting a little they've

6:08

done in November of 2025. Look,

6:11

you are two lesbians with IUDs

6:13

not having sex post-Rovey Wade and

6:15

your lesbian wife is pregnant. Do

6:18

not call upon the Lord's name.

6:20

He is damned you to hell.

6:22

Call David Copperfield. What the

6:24

hell is she talking about?

6:27

Just David Blaine mounting her

6:29

wife in the corner about

6:32

a better way. Now watch.

6:34

That's right. Yeah. Whack people

6:37

on a chair. Oh damn!

6:39

Oh no! Let's say, yeah,

6:42

call the guy platform.

6:44

Cheating with Chris Angel. This

6:47

is not a troll, right?

6:49

This is real. Well, that's

6:51

from what I understand this

6:53

is real these people are

6:56

so married to the issue

6:58

of abortion That no one

7:00

stops two lesbians with IUDs

7:03

who are celibate and says

7:05

what? My wife has given me

7:07

no reason to believe she's

7:09

cheating The baby in her

7:11

stomach is that not like that's

7:13

not a reason? It's almost as

7:15

though that is undeniable proof. She skipped

7:17

biology class. No. I thought that was

7:20

the craziest part and then she was

7:22

like, well, and then we prayed about

7:24

it and we're like, well, if God

7:26

wants us to have a baby, and

7:28

I'm just like, okay, this got crazier

7:30

for me. I thought it was as

7:32

far as it could go. But it's

7:34

not, apparently. Does God want you to

7:37

have a baby? And no one has

7:39

a monopoly on talking to God. Because

7:41

you guys hadn't seen it? That's how

7:43

insane it is. Where no one in

7:45

the studio can make sense of it because it's

7:47

nonsense. I was literally sitting here going, am

7:49

I missing? Is there a transgender angle in

7:51

here? So did I? Yeah. Right? Is the

7:53

huzz? Does she have a huzz? But that

7:55

you wouldn't be getting? You couldn't find the

7:57

angle. There's no angle anymore. This is like

7:59

talking. talking about business and money for me

8:01

now. This is what's... Someone has an IUD

8:03

in their account. Out of it. This is what

8:06

happens. Yeah. It starts with love is love. I

8:09

disagree. I

8:11

disagree. I don't think all loves

8:13

are equal and I don't think

8:16

that all loves are equivalent, just

8:18

to be clear. Why? Well, because

8:20

one can lead to, well, one

8:22

can lead to obviously conception giving

8:24

birth and rearing a child without

8:26

an insane amount of confusion. Let's not act

8:28

like they're equivalent. Love is love. Okay. This

8:31

is what it gets you. I know people

8:33

think I'm to the right of a till -of

8:35

-the -hunt, even on social issues. I was against

8:37

same -sex marriage then because of this. And

8:39

now you see why. And also, you can

8:41

comment below, hey, do you believe her? She

8:43

ought to write a book called Heather Has

8:45

Two Morons. Well,

8:48

the good news is as of November 5th, we don't

8:50

have to worry about this anymore. Oh,

8:56

that dirty butt and the face on

8:58

her. Anybody wants to tap that? Oh, my God.

9:00

the face Mel Gibson sees in his nightmares. I

9:04

just love watching you go through the

9:06

Rolodex looking for Chris Angel. Yeah. I

9:09

almost went with Houdini. By the way,

9:11

there is a new David Blaine show that

9:13

I highly recommend in Discovery where he

9:15

just goes around and, like, he kisses a

9:17

cobra or some shit. Really? He just

9:19

goes and it's not magic, but he goes

9:21

in his fire -breathing and chewing razors and

9:23

he kissed a cobra. OK. He's like,

9:25

I've always wanted to kiss a cobra. You're

9:27

like, why? Why did you always want

9:29

to? There you go. Kissing a cobra. I've

9:31

seen that. Is it the people in

9:33

India that do that? Yeah. Well, this one

9:35

was Thailand, but then he goes to

9:37

India. Yeah, they kiss one like right on

9:39

the nose. Yeah, they sometimes they get

9:41

clipped and it's funny. They

9:44

get sick and they die. They start screaming

9:46

like they're playing Russian roulette in Dear Hunter. Hang

9:48

on now. Kiss

9:51

him, Nicky. Kiss him. All

9:57

right. OK. All right.

10:00

We have a new confirmation here

10:02

yesterday the Senate confirmed a new

10:04

Trump cabinet official And this is

10:06

a pretty big one might fly

10:08

under the radar But Albert Coby

10:10

was confirmed to serve as defense

10:12

Defense Department under secretary for policy.

10:14

I know that sounds God. It's

10:16

a real thing But the vote

10:18

was 54 45 and then we'll

10:20

show you who voted no on this

10:22

vote The yeas are 54 the nays

10:24

are 45 and the nomination is confirmed

10:26

under the previous order to motion the

10:28

motion to Reconsider is considered made

10:30

and laid upon the table and the president

10:32

will be immediately notified of the Senate's actions You

10:34

just had to make it through two phrases

10:36

and you couldn't just he's just you had one

10:38

job There

10:40

were three Three

10:43

Democrats who voted yes and

10:45

McConnell voted no surprise

10:48

saying Abandoning Ukraine in Europe is downplaying

10:50

and downplaying the Middle East to

10:53

prioritize the Indo -Pacific is not a

10:55

clever geopolitical chess move It is geostratic

10:57

self -harm that emboldens our adversaries and

10:59

drives wedges between America and our

11:01

allies for them to exploit Okay, I

11:03

understand that it would hold water

11:05

if Europe who demands that we spend

11:07

more money on the war between

11:10

Ukraine and Russia didn't Spend all of their

11:12

money by the way on Russian energy while putting

11:14

tariffs on ours But let me ask you this

11:16

you're talking about emboldening our adversaries. Where do you

11:18

line up on the tariffs with China? McConnell

11:21

Who's a greater threat Russia or China? That

11:24

was written by a staffer McConnell didn't

11:26

write that no His stroke brain

11:28

doesn't know half those words. No way.

11:30

I know I grok auto corrected Filling

11:35

his diaper So

11:38

Kobe just to be clear He's

11:40

a he's a hawk on China

11:42

who has advocated for an old

11:44

references available links in the description

11:46

an increased focus Overall on China

11:48

in the Asia Pacific a decreased

11:50

focus on Ukraine. Yeah increased defense

11:52

spending from our allies specifically in

11:54

Asia and he actually made this

11:56

statement at the confirmation hearing himself

11:58

Taiwan is very important United States, but

12:00

as you said, it's not an existential interest.

12:02

It's very important the core American interests

12:04

is in denying China regional hegemony. What's changed,

12:06

and as we discussed, is the dramatic

12:09

deterioration of the military balance. So my view

12:11

that the combination of the greater threat

12:13

from China and the lack of preparedness on

12:15

our part, I have a different assessment

12:17

with respect center about Taiwan's efforts. I think

12:19

actually as a proportion of GDP, it's

12:21

well below 3%. I agree with President Trump

12:23

that they should be more like 10%,

12:25

or at least something in that ballpark, really

12:27

focused on their defense. So we need

12:29

to properly incentivize them. So together, that means

12:31

that my focus has been, again, with

12:33

the shooting the flare metaphor I used

12:35

earlier, Senator, to get Taiwan motivated to

12:37

avoid precipitating a conflict that is not

12:39

necessary with Beijing, and giving us time

12:41

and space to be able to try

12:43

to rectify this problem, because that is

12:46

my goal, Senator. Thank you, Mr.

12:48

Quayle. Pretty sharp. I was going to say, Mr.

12:50

Troll, get a picture of him in the middle.

12:52

He is the love child of Tucker Carlson and

12:54

Ed Bagley Jr. They

12:56

had a baby. It's Colby. And for

12:58

those of you wondering, by the way,

13:00

Colby Cheese originated in Colby, Wisconsin in

13:02

1885, developed by Joseph F. Steinwan, who,

13:04

of course, named it after the township,

13:06

where his father built the first cheese

13:08

factory. And that's been this week's Cheese

13:10

Facts. Is

13:17

that my phone? I got a message from

13:19

my wife. Today, a little bit of what you

13:21

came for and some of what you didn't. So,

13:26

let's go to... It's a little fortune cookie.

13:28

China. great. I don't know. And by

13:31

the way, the Chinese, if nothing else, the

13:33

reason that we should go to war,

13:35

they don't have one good dessert in the

13:37

country. What is a Chinese

13:39

dessert? Torch and cookie. It's a cookie with

13:41

Well, no, that's not a... ...newspaper. Yeah, that's all

13:43

it is. If somebody had extra time, they're

13:45

like, I'll write this on a thing, whatever. They

13:47

put frosting on an eel. Yeah. It's

13:54

always when you get Asian, you're

13:56

like, what's the Thai do? They

13:58

have the sticky mango rice with

14:00

the coconut. That's pretty good. But,

14:02

know... comment below if I'm if I'm missing something. Do the

14:04

Chinese have any good desserts? I don't

14:06

know. Let's let's talk about

14:08

China right now because obviously

14:10

we've discussed the tariffs and

14:13

I know that people have

14:15

terror fatigue and I know the markets

14:17

are pretty volatile but

14:19

I want to be clear about something

14:22

here. The tariff war that is

14:24

going on. It is necessary to

14:26

avoid a real war. Let me

14:28

ask you this. doubt that the

14:30

end game here is war with China.

14:32

Do you doubt that at some point

14:34

the Western world is going to

14:37

have to go to war with

14:39

a communist dictatorship who by the

14:41

way has said that they

14:43

seek to destroy and undermine

14:45

Western civilization? Do you acknowledge that? Let

14:48

me ask, would you rather have

14:50

a cold war or an actual war? with

14:52

China. The Cold War was to avoid,

14:54

obviously, actual war. Now in that case,

14:56

I would even argue that there was

14:59

more miscommunication. There was more suspicion there.

15:01

And Russia was not the kind of

15:03

global superpower that the United, that China

15:05

is in comparison to the United States.

15:07

China has used our systems to subvert

15:10

them, and they seek to destroy the

15:12

United States. Let me even go one

15:14

step further. If the United, some people

15:16

will say, well, their goal is just

15:18

to basically take over our economy.

15:20

Okay. Do you honestly believe that the

15:23

Chinese at that point won't strike?

15:25

You think it ends with, you stay

15:27

over there and we stay over here?

15:29

There's going to be a clash. And

15:31

I want to give you an example

15:34

here too. We can kind of see

15:36

what would happen with some industries.

15:38

People are saying, well, all

15:40

these industries that rely on

15:42

shore, like rare earth minerals.

15:44

Perfect example, because it also deals

15:46

with communism, cigars. Okay. Right? A communist

15:49

country. Cuba. It's God's gift to Cuba.

15:51

The soil. When we put on the

15:53

embargo, we put the embargo on Cuba.

15:55

They moved to the Dominican, they

15:57

moved to Honduras, and eventually Nicaragua.

16:00

And there are more fantastic cigars

16:02

now than ever before. It was

16:04

actually so much a given that

16:06

JFK, when he signed the embargo,

16:08

that day, for people who don't know,

16:11

he had his assistant go out

16:13

and purchase 1,200 Petit Upman cigars

16:15

before the embargo went into effect.

16:17

Then, so at that point in

16:19

time, we're going, well, say goodbye

16:21

to cigars. There are more cigars

16:24

than ever. The cigar boom happened

16:26

after that. You think that can't

16:28

happen. with other industries as it

16:31

relates to China? Maybe not with

16:33

every industry, but it certainly can.

16:35

We don't know what it looks

16:38

like yet. That's an unknown. What

16:40

we do know, I would argue, and

16:42

you can comment below, this ends

16:45

in war with China unless

16:47

something changes, at some point,

16:49

which I don't want. Now, if you

16:51

doubt that, don't take my word for

16:53

it, China has vowed... to fight until

16:55

the very end. Do you know what

16:58

that means against the US? If the US

17:00

overlooks the interests of the two

17:02

countries and the international community and

17:04

it's determined to fight a tariff

17:06

and a trade war, China's response

17:08

will continue to the end. Next

17:10

one, please. Now, what does the end

17:13

mean? Remember last month, China's foreign ministry

17:15

said on X, if a war is

17:17

what the US wants, be it a

17:19

tariff war, a trade war, or any

17:21

other type of war, we're ready to

17:23

fight till the end. They've told you.

17:25

They've given you the blueprint. Some

17:28

tariffs kind of seem like we're

17:30

getting out easy at this point, doesn't

17:32

it? Yeah. Doesn't seem like, I mean,

17:34

there's a bit of a trap that

17:37

we're kind of all heading into with

17:39

this, and China doesn't have any

17:41

kind of an off-ramp. Based on

17:43

what they're saying right now, we're

17:45

going to fight to the end.

17:48

I didn't realize the ex post

17:50

had that as well. I knew how

17:52

to do this. He gives them an off-ramp

17:54

that helps them say face and we avoid

17:56

the war but we correct the economic problem.

17:59

I hope we do. But we don't

18:01

have an off-ramp unless we correct

18:03

the economic problem. No, absolutely not.

18:05

Absolutely not. That's the issue. There is

18:07

no off-ramp from the direction we are

18:10

headed right now, unless something changes. And

18:12

the media has helped the public believing

18:14

that the tariffs are not causing actual

18:16

war. Just the opposite. And it coming

18:18

out parks and roads. It could happen,

18:21

but it's not happening because of the

18:23

tariffs. It's happening because it was going

18:25

to happen anyway. Yes. There's never

18:27

been a point in human history.

18:29

economic superpower and another one coming

18:32

up with fundamentally different values

18:34

and they don't clash. You know

18:36

like the Greeks, the Romans, the

18:38

Persians, the Ottomans, the Mongolians, it's

18:40

human nature and China absolutely

18:43

and expressly they state they hate everything

18:45

that we're about and they want to

18:47

use our systems to subvert and destroy

18:50

our economic systems. This is the government

18:52

of Mao. I'm not a warhawk. This

18:54

is not me pulling a McConnell or

18:56

Ukraine. I'm saying to avoid war. We

18:59

have to uncouple from China. So

19:01

yesterday, for those of you who missed

19:03

it, the tariffs from

19:06

President Trump became official,

19:08

I guess today, midnight, including

19:10

104% a massive rate on

19:12

China. I just spoke to the president

19:15

about this and he believes that

19:17

China wants to make a deal

19:19

with the United States. He believes

19:21

China has to make a deal

19:23

with the United States. It was

19:25

a mistake for China to retaliate.

19:27

The president, when America is punched,

19:29

he punches back harder. That's why

19:31

there will be 104% tariffs going

19:33

into effect on China tonight at

19:35

midnight. But the president believes that

19:37

she and China want to make

19:39

a deal. They just don't know

19:41

how to get that started. incredibly

19:43

gracious but he's going to do what's

19:45

best for the American people. She is

19:47

a tiny package of dynamite and if

19:49

I was Donald Trump I would send

19:51

her in to negotiate because she'd still

19:53

be larger than the Chinese ambassadors. Such

19:55

a big lady! Well you have such

19:57

a big lady! No no she's actually

20:00

about average. Oh no! Do

20:03

I have this right? The Chinese president

20:05

wants to be referred to as Xi,

20:07

his pronoun. Xi

20:11

Jinping. Xi. I will also

20:13

accept they, them. So

20:17

this might sound like a lot, 104%.

20:19

And also, I want to be clear about

20:22

this, too. People will point to Donald

20:24

Trump as hypocrites, they'll point to business folks

20:26

as hypocrites and go, well, Trump ties

20:28

were made in China. Well, look at these

20:30

business owners who have their stuff manufactured

20:32

in China. In many cases, there is no

20:34

ability outside of that because our current

20:36

economic system is predicated on cheap labor from

20:38

China. We've talked about this with mugs.

20:40

We can get them painted. There's no one

20:42

who can meet capacity. So I would

20:44

actually see that as a virtue. Someone who

20:47

would stand to benefit from cheap labor,

20:49

like Donald Trump or like Kevin O 'Leary,

20:51

who we'll get to, is saying this is

20:53

not sustainable. We have to do it

20:55

this way now, but we don't want to.

20:57

104 % sounds like a lot, but Kevin

20:59

O 'Leary, who's right, like maybe 25 %

21:01

of the time, he doesn't think it's high

21:03

enough. 104 % tariffs

21:05

on China are not enough. I'm

21:07

advocating 400%. I do this. They don't

21:09

play by the rules. They've been

21:11

in the WTO for decades. They have

21:13

never abided by any of the

21:15

rules they agreed to when they came

21:17

in for decades. They cheat. They

21:19

steal. They steal IP. I can't litigate

21:21

in their courts. Pause. They take

21:23

pro... Is he talking to a Chinese

21:25

carp? No, that's a... I was

21:27

going to say... That's a down syndrome

21:29

guy. It looks

21:31

like a, like a Chas

21:33

Bono St. Jude's. He's going to

21:36

touch a Mongolian. All right.

21:38

Let's continue watching 'Leary. He's listening

21:40

intently. Technology. They steal it. They

21:42

manufacture it and sell it

21:44

back here. Never

21:46

has it American stand

21:48

400 % tariffs. What that

21:50

look like? She, on an

21:52

airplane to Washington, to

21:54

level the playing field. This

21:57

is not about tariffs

21:59

anymore. That's right. Nobody has

22:01

taken on China yet. the

22:03

Europeans, no administration for decades. As someone who actually

22:05

does business there, I've had enough.

22:07

And I know people will say, oh,

22:09

he's a hip crit because you've watched

22:11

him on shark tank. Sure. But this

22:13

is why it matters. Someone is

22:15

saying, hey, we should have a 400%

22:18

terrifying China. And it's the same guy

22:20

who you've seen say things like this.

22:22

You'd said before that you wouldn't

22:24

consider... I'm not going to consider, I'm

22:26

just saying we wouldn't be able to.

22:29

But let's just, let's just test that

22:31

for a moment. Okay. Let's just say

22:33

for a second that a manufacturer in

22:36

Asia could make it for $150 in

22:38

quantities of, let's say a thousand. All

22:40

right? That puts you in business right

22:43

now, my friend. You'd be in business

22:45

with the distributor that you're not doing

22:47

any business with right now. And yet

22:50

you're saying no to that? The problem

22:52

we're talking about here, one man

22:54

can't do it. I'm talking

22:56

about the problem of getting

22:59

it done offshore. There's a

23:01

reason that's happening. And there's

23:03

a reason that a lot

23:05

of the furniture manufacturers are

23:08

coming back. Yeah, but you

23:10

know, to say that the

23:12

quality is bad everywhere offshore

23:14

is wrong. Of course. And

23:16

so I'm kind of stuck here.

23:19

Right. Let me ask you this. We are

23:21

very much at this point. We are

23:23

reliant, for example, on China, not

23:25

just for rare earth minerals, but

23:27

really we don't have the ability

23:29

to process them. Okay. There has

23:31

been a discovery recently. I can't

23:33

remember if it's coal vault or

23:35

lithium saltency. There's nothing else there. It's

23:38

awful. It's like hell on earth. Where

23:40

is it? Salton Sea, right outside, kind

23:42

of between Palm Desert and Los Angeles.

23:44

Oh, okay. Yeah. Used to have a

23:47

yacht club there and Brock Obama during

23:49

the stimulus package pumped about 7 million

23:51

into a yacht club that hadn't existed

23:53

for decades. It just smells like death.

23:55

It's dried up. It smells like sulfur.

23:58

There's a hobo town called Slab. city

24:00

we could use it for lithium we could

24:02

use it for whatever rare earth minerals and

24:04

put the processing facilities right there well we

24:07

can't because there's likely some kind of eco

24:09

regulations that don't you don't think that we

24:11

could make that cheaper to use resources from

24:13

our own place that is being used for

24:16

nothing else in the salt and sea with

24:18

plenty of land to set up the processing

24:20

facilities you don't think we can make that

24:23

more efficient than importing it from China Or

24:25

taking minerals from another country, rare earth metals,

24:27

sending them to China to be processed. We

24:29

could do it all right here. No one

24:32

is doing it because it's impossible. And again,

24:34

the regulations are predicated on the idea of,

24:36

well, no one will do it here because

24:38

it's cheaper in China. Because you have made

24:41

it cost prohibitive. Yeah. Well, and I want

24:43

to go back to Kevin and Louis point,

24:45

because his point is the overall point and

24:48

people are missing this. We're slowly heading towards

24:50

an inevitable death. in this country. If we

24:52

don't address this problem, you brought up the

24:54

example of Russia in a Cold War. The

24:57

reason it's different is because when we were

24:59

going against Russia, our businesses weren't tied economically

25:01

to Russia. We didn't have corporations going out

25:04

there and doing the bidding of the Chinese

25:06

party essentially to curry favor and to make

25:08

sure they had favorable agreements. We do have

25:10

that now. And that is the difference. We

25:13

are having to uncouple that. That's where this

25:15

game is going to be fought is information

25:17

and trying to put out. propaganda about why

25:19

this will destroy our economy. I just used

25:22

that as an example. Yes, because China controls

25:24

90% of the rare earth processing and they

25:26

just put some export controls in the United

25:29

States. Wouldn't it be nice for us? You'll

25:31

see, all right, fine. We're going to go

25:33

to this piece of crap plot of land,

25:35

assault, and sea, but wherever it is that

25:38

we could actually mine, we could hopefully have

25:40

some kind of new discovery expedition to see

25:42

what reserves we have and create our own

25:45

processing, create our own refining refining facilities facilities.

25:47

But instead we go, oh my God, this

25:49

is horrible, we have to play ball with

25:51

China. Really, that's your answer? And where we

25:54

were getting our medicine during COVID? Right, there

25:56

was a shortage across the world. They're making

25:58

our medicine. Chee, how could they? That could

26:00

a set of pickle in the future. Exactly.

26:03

Look, I got it. It sucks. It sucks,

26:05

but this is not the same as inflation

26:07

that you saw as a result of government

26:10

policy trying to purchase votes and orchestrating a

26:12

lockdown. If we do, and we likely will

26:14

see some kind of inflation or increased

26:16

cost of goods and services, it's.

26:18

Ultimately, it's to avoid a real war.

26:21

That's the path. They painted a really good

26:23

picture there. It wasn't just about tariffs.

26:25

He was describing their character, how they steal,

26:27

patents, how they make stuff, sell it back

26:30

to us. He was trying to find

26:32

for the American people, even though he's Canadian,

26:34

what these people are like, and it matters.

26:36

This is a way to kind of

26:38

keep them and get them in a place

26:40

where they can play fair or... at least

26:43

pretend to play fair. And the

26:45

number of the tariff doesn't matter.

26:47

Here we have China additional 50%

26:49

on top of what? On top

26:51

of what already? Yeah. On top

26:53

of in some cases, so it's

26:55

104% total. Oh, sorry, it depended

26:57

on the industry. Some industries were

26:59

36, some workers. Well, theirs is

27:01

probably at least that, because it's

27:03

on top of already. Right, and

27:05

noodles, you had something? Yeah, research

27:07

sent in two things. First off,

27:09

it was $540 billion worth of

27:11

lithium discovered in the salt and

27:13

sea. That's a lot of knives.

27:15

Whoa. And then the inevitability of

27:17

this clash you were referring to. You

27:19

even mentioned Greece. when the rising power challenges

27:21

a ruling one. Geez, I can't talk. Phenomenon's

27:24

is the oldest history itself about the Peloponnesian

27:26

War, devastated ancient Greece. I don't really need

27:28

an abstract. I don't really need an abstract

27:30

on that. It's like, oh wait, someone's coming

27:33

up and wants your shit, got it. The

27:35

big thing, these conditions have occurred 16 times

27:37

in history, war broke out in 12 of

27:39

them. Yeah, it's occurred far more than that.

27:42

It's pretty much been every war, a war

27:44

over resources, someone developing to, I mean, you

27:46

could even relate it to the tribes here,

27:48

I mean, North America, the Algonquins and the

27:50

Iroquois. One of them was nomadic, one of

27:52

them was sedentary. I don't really care because

27:54

we beat them, they didn't use the wheel. So

27:56

this comes down to who in this war, trade war,

27:59

blinks first, right? And again, this is

28:01

all posturing to avoid a real war.

28:03

The Chinese side, they're confident that America

28:05

is going to back down. How can

28:08

you tell up to a blanket? It's

28:10

exceedingly difficult. You ever have an Asian

28:12

lady wink at you? You're like, is

28:15

it a pass? Yeah, exactly. They do

28:17

think that we're going to blink first

28:19

and just watch Einar Tangin. Talk about

28:22

this from the set of the Frighteners.

28:24

A lot of people who elected Donald

28:26

Trump, because they thought he could control

28:29

prices, will be calling for his head.

28:31

This is what's so odd. I mean,

28:33

the idea is that Trump is trying

28:36

to bluff somebody, but they've seen his

28:38

hand. And China is calling it. They

28:40

are absolutely resolved. They've seen his back

28:43

hand. I hope so. What did the

28:45

CCP send you out to do that?

28:47

They've seen our hand? Yes, our hand

28:50

is that we control everything. Consumption in

28:52

the world right now. Right. So if

28:54

you don't have us, good luck. By

28:57

the way, going back to Cuba, you

28:59

know, one of their main trading partners?

29:01

China. Oh, why? If communism worked, why

29:03

would our sanctions, why would our embargos

29:06

with Cuba affect them at all? They've

29:08

had Russia, they've had China, and they

29:10

still have taxi cabs from the 1950s.

29:13

Because China is a cheap goods economy.

29:15

It cannot provide the bedrock for an

29:17

industrial, for a technological, for an innovative

29:20

revolution in Cuba. They can't. If the

29:22

United States of the communist regime, if

29:24

the United States opened up to Cuba,

29:27

I mean within two years, they could

29:29

be brought into the new world. That's

29:31

the power of the United States. China?

29:34

Huge population, huge country. huge economy, they

29:36

can pull no one else out from

29:38

poverty. It's not possible. So even if

29:41

you hate the United States, do you

29:43

want the rest of the world to

29:45

look like the slave class of China?

29:48

Or would you like to see, for

29:50

example, Cuba, divest from China and say,

29:52

okay, come on in, now you have

29:55

new, imagine Cuba, tomorrow, okay, you can

29:57

have cars finally, okay, you can get

29:59

soap, goods that we take for granted

30:01

here in the United States. They've had

30:04

China for a long time. Hey, two

30:06

communists of a feather. Doesn't seem to

30:08

work out. That's something that people just

30:11

fail to realize. If China becomes a

30:13

superpower, they not only can't pull countries

30:15

out of poverty, they will plunge every

30:18

country they possibly can into poverty in

30:20

the name of their great Maoist ideal.

30:22

So this man here... Says, ah, China's in

30:24

charge and I don't even know

30:27

what he's saying. I know that

30:29

the president Trump's team begs to

30:31

differ. Ladies and gentlemen, we have

30:33

breaking news. That's what's going to

30:35

happen. What other presidents allow China

30:37

to get away with is absolutely

30:39

criminal, but I'm not like the

30:41

other presidents. It's not going to

30:43

happen under President Trump. It's just

30:45

not going to happen. Maria, I

30:48

think it's unfortunate that the Chinese

30:50

actually don't want to come and

30:52

negotiate because they are the worst

30:54

offenders in the international trading system.

30:56

They have the most imbalanced economy

30:58

in the history of the modern

31:00

world. And I can tell you

31:02

that this escalation is a loser

31:04

for them. I'm telling you, these

31:06

countries are calling us up. kissing my

31:08

ass. They are dying to make

31:11

it here. Please, please, make it

31:13

you. I'll do anything, I'll do

31:15

anything, sir. And then I'll see

31:17

some rebel Republican, you know, some

31:20

guy that wants to grandstand, say.

31:22

I think the Congress should take

31:24

over negotiations. Let me tell you,

31:26

you don't negotiate like I negotiate.

31:28

By the way, I love... He

31:30

said his voice is like the

31:32

black comedians white guy voice. the

31:35

bottom line and all this is

31:37

the banana and tailpipe there's not

31:39

a country out there i mean

31:41

they need us yes that every country

31:43

out there needs us including china more

31:45

than we need them just say that

31:47

but of course they yeah and you

31:49

know what we're not going to be

31:51

there for any of these other countries

31:53

if we're dependent on china and they

31:55

decide to pull the rug out from

31:57

undress which is their plan they've said so

32:00

The rug's not even made in China.

32:02

Remember that when people said Persian rugs

32:04

were good investments? Turns out that was

32:06

a crock. It was like... Boy, I

32:08

lost a leg on that one. Yeah,

32:10

me too on beanie babies and pogs.

32:12

So instead... I'm not like other presidents.

32:14

No, Jeff's Dad lets him play ball,

32:16

no. I'm not like Jeff's Dad. Yeah,

32:18

exactly. I'm different. Jeff's dad's head comes

32:20

to a point. That's right. Not like

32:22

those other parents. Jeff's dad's, look, a

32:25

lot of people say this, they say

32:27

he's a bitch. I can't believe they

32:29

say, whoa, what a bitch. His mom

32:31

sleeps around, it's well-known. She does? We're

32:33

not even sure that Jeff's dad is,

32:35

frankly, It was a troll. It was

32:37

a troll. So instead of worrying, it

32:39

was a troll? Yeah. Oh, okay. Admonish

32:41

us. I'm an honesting research, because they

32:43

gave me those. No, look, my name's

32:45

on the Ledgers. I thought it was,

32:47

but someone's a lesbian's role. Or troll.

32:49

Oh, that's the thing. I was sure

32:51

that they were. We're all up in

32:53

arms. Oh, come on. Is that AI,

32:55

that face? Now, if I were, if

32:57

I were, if I were, if I

32:59

were, if I were, I were, if

33:01

I were, I were, if I were,

33:04

I were, if I were, I were,

33:06

if I were, I were, if I

33:08

were, I were, if I, if I

33:10

were, if I were, if I were,

33:12

if I were, if I, I were,

33:14

I were, I caught, I caught, I

33:16

caught, I caught, I caught, I, I

33:18

caught, I caught, I, I, I caught,

33:20

I True, but we should have done

33:22

better. So how do you figure it

33:24

out? It's very difficult. They say this

33:26

is a troll account. And you go,

33:28

oh, yeah. I always comment on shit

33:30

and then people like, do you realize

33:32

it was a troll? I don't give

33:34

a shit. I'm still unloading. Yeah. So

33:36

good goodness. I look for a reason.

33:38

I got high blood pressure. I need

33:40

this. You can't throw a big helping

33:42

me. You can't swim with pigs every

33:45

day. Instead of some kind of a...

33:47

Instead of worrying about defeating China. or

33:49

writing jokes. Stephen Colbert is focused on

33:51

Nintendo's and iPhones or something. The tariffs

33:53

are already hitting America right in the

33:55

joystick because gamers were supposed to be

33:57

able to order Nintendo's switch to starting

33:59

tomorrow. but now Nintendo

34:01

has delayed switch to pre -orders in

34:03

the United States over the Trump

34:05

tariffs. What? Ooh! I

34:09

need my Nintendo. What I supposed

34:11

to do without our new

34:13

Mario game? Take a bunch

34:15

of mushrooms and jump on turtles

34:17

in real life. Maybe make jokes?

34:20

That's what got me banned from

34:22

the petting zoo. 104 % Chinese

34:24

tariffs are going to make everything

34:26

more expensive. iPhones, laptops, those wonderful

34:28

knock -off toys you can find only

34:30

at the gas station like New

34:33

Style Ninja Tortoise, Trayor

34:36

Formos, and my personal

34:38

favorite, Special Man. That's funny,

34:40

but you didn't write China will

34:42

never accept it. Oh, no. Now

34:45

we're in a trade war with China. Save

34:48

us, Special Man. Here's the thing, he's so

34:50

bad at writing comedy that I don't know

34:52

what he's trying to say. It sounds like

34:54

he's saying, oh, no, we're in a trade

34:56

war with China, as though that's a good

34:58

thing, like he's being sarcastic. It's like he

35:01

didn't study presenting a point of view because

35:03

he doesn't actually have one. Everything is inauthentic.

35:05

Sorry, leftist. Look, not everything goes as planned,

35:07

especially when you're dealing with a communist dictatorship. Unexpected

35:11

events come up, even when you're having just

35:13

your morning cup of coffee. What's

35:16

up, man? Oh, not much, just having my

35:18

morning cup of joe. This

35:21

is disgusting! Try

35:24

the other one. That one's for Sam.

35:26

Try the other pot. Oh, okay. All

35:28

right, give this a try.

35:30

You're not tricking me, are you? No, no,

35:32

no, trust me. Oh

35:37

my gosh, this is delicious, what

35:39

is this? That's 1775 coffee, Bolivian

35:41

grown, Florida roasted, and they believe

35:43

in freedom of speech. I think

35:45

I just found my new favorite.

35:47

If you got a 1775coffee.com/Crowder, an

35:49

interim promo code Crowder, you get

35:51

15 % off of your first order.

35:55

15%, are you serious? 15%.

35:58

I'm gonna go place no order right

36:00

now. I'm glad I can

36:02

help. 1775

36:05

coffee.com/ crowder.

36:07

He's a purple

36:09

coat crowder. You get

36:12

15% off and I guess there's

36:14

also a contest going on right

36:16

now. There's another there's another deal

36:18

here so you get 250 worth

36:20

of 1775 coffee plus exclusive gear

36:23

for only 99 bucks with a

36:25

bundle that they're oh they have

36:27

a long everybody but it's like

36:29

mushroom coffee and protein creamer and

36:32

I will tell you guys look

36:34

this this Peaberry is awesome they

36:36

sell them in 16 pound 16

36:38

ounce bag sorry they're fresh roasted

36:40

and they don't actually give your money to

36:43

people who hate you which is more than

36:45

we can say for a lot of other

36:47

coffee companies out there that try and pander

36:50

you. Tasted pretty good. Yeah, yeah. Well, that's

36:52

because I mixed mine with some coke zero.

36:54

So you're getting a nice stomach bile. It

36:56

was a blend. I just needed a mister

36:59

of coffee. Who knew? Yeah, exactly. I like

37:01

how your little sponsor plugs are funnier than

37:03

Colbert's monologue. Well, here's the funniest

37:05

part of his monologue is just

37:08

an actual toy that exists. It's

37:10

like people are laughing. They're laughing

37:12

not at what he writes? No.

37:14

But an actual for sale item. He's

37:16

a spokesman for the DNC under

37:18

the guise of a late night

37:20

talk. It's creepy. It could be

37:22

coming from a Democratic Senate to

37:24

that garbage. Right. It's just, it's

37:26

about as funny as pediatric cancer.

37:29

Yeah. This is a broad umbrella

37:31

term. It is. For all of

37:33

the funny cancers that befall young

37:35

children. He has cancer of the

37:37

funny bone is what he has.

37:39

Jagoff. Nick, you're better than that.

37:41

No, he's talking about it. I

37:43

just did a great reference, you

37:45

ass. See, I told you you you're

37:47

better than that. Gerald said to pull

37:49

it out of you. Sometimes doesn't live

37:52

in reality, which brings us to our

37:54

next segment. I love Gerald. The left

37:56

versus reality. We're going to do this

37:59

as an ongoing. But today, we want

38:01

to spend some time on nature addition.

38:03

If you want to understand how to

38:05

best conserve, for example, a species or

38:07

certain environments, we kind of know how

38:09

to do that now. Hand it over to

38:11

hunters. Because they have a vested interest, for

38:13

example, maintaining healthy deer, elk populations. They

38:16

don't just want to go out and

38:18

dump a bunch of red paint on

38:20

your fur coat. And when you look

38:22

at a lot of the environmental regulations,

38:25

the intrusions that are designed to

38:27

solve a problem. There are many

38:29

examples where we've tried to play

38:31

God and have made it worse.

38:33

So as a jumping off point, not

38:35

that this is a catastrophe,

38:37

but it's potentially a minor

38:40

screw-up. This week, colossal

38:42

biosciences, they introduced what they

38:44

claim were the first ever

38:46

de-extinct species, these dire wolf

38:48

pups to the world. The

38:52

howl of a dire world

38:54

hasn't been heard on the

38:57

planet Earth for over 10,000

38:59

years. That's because the species

39:01

is extinct, or was. Collasal

39:03

Biosciosbiosciences is a Dallas-based company

39:06

that's using genetic engineering to

39:08

the extinct long-gone species. it

39:10

became abundantly clear that we

39:12

need new tools and technologies

39:14

for conservation. And so we

39:17

thought this was a really

39:19

cool way that we could

39:21

create value, create impact, inspire people,

39:23

and then also hopefully thoughtfully rewiled some

39:26

of these species, which apparently will also

39:28

have ecological benefits to these different potential

39:30

ecosystems. Yeah! Bring back an extinct species

39:33

and release it into the wild. What

39:35

could possibly go wrong? It's not like

39:37

we've seen this film literally a hundred

39:40

times. There's some mayors saying, oh my

39:42

God, this is going to increase tourism

39:44

here. They're going to see some dire

39:46

wolves. It's like, you can't do that.

39:49

Stop playing Godman! How does it end?

39:51

Take a guess. But before we get

39:53

to that, there's a debate. Are these pups

39:55

really dire wolves? Okay, you have on one

39:58

hand, people saying yes, namely the company. They

40:00

say that they used technologies that

40:02

included harvesting ancient DNA, rewriting genetic

40:04

code to create what they claim

40:06

is a dire wolf. Here it

40:08

is explained by the Rosie O'Donnell

40:10

after photo. We extracted DNA from

40:13

two fossils that we knew from

40:15

previous work had some amount of

40:17

preserved ancient DNA. One was a

40:19

13,000 year old bone and the

40:21

other was a 72,000 year old

40:23

bone, an inner ear bone. We

40:25

were able to generate... Two genomes,

40:27

two dire wolf genome sequences from

40:29

that. Using this knowledge, Colosso then

40:32

made 20 modifications to 14 genes

40:34

and DNA of common daily salads.

40:36

Man, it's boring. Someone killed something.

40:38

Wish he had to do some

40:40

big differences. The dire wolf's white

40:42

coat, large size, characteristic vocalizations like

40:44

that. How do you heard at

40:46

the beginning of the story? And

40:48

more. And it's a virtual killing

40:51

machine. Is the remaining more interesting?

40:53

Yes. Because they'll make it boring.

40:55

Oh my God. It's like they

40:57

see it as a virtue to

40:59

be boring when you're around these

41:01

people? Like, no, we don't want

41:03

any showmanship or anything possibly generate

41:05

interest among the general public. It's

41:08

like those NPR voices. Yes, exactly.

41:10

You're literally talking about what could

41:12

be Jurassic Park and you're making

41:14

it uninteresting. Either going to kill

41:16

all of us or be a

41:18

complete flop. Either way, interesting. Show

41:20

us a walking stick, some sap,

41:22

someone getting torn apart in the

41:24

porta potty, anything. You guys got

41:27

the charisma. Richard finds a way.

41:29

Let's see. We got some wolves

41:31

coming back. 60 million years old.

41:33

I'm Todd Barry. Yeah, people on

41:35

the no side. A lot of

41:37

people saying this actually is, these

41:39

are just gray wolves with a

41:41

few gene edits. Like there's a

41:43

famous doctor out there who's, I

41:46

guess. kind of pretty prominent right

41:48

now, Dr. Nick Rollins. This does

41:50

though bring up some questions about

41:52

conservation efforts at large. and they

41:54

often assume, meaning those on the

41:56

left, hey I care about the

41:58

earth, therefore they have the moral

42:00

high ground. We see it for

42:03

example with smart cars, or sorry

42:05

electric cars in some cases, like

42:07

this is better for the environment,

42:09

okay, until we realize that these

42:11

batteries require minerals from the earth

42:13

that come from slave labor countries,

42:15

the energy that goes into it

42:17

is far more energy, well it's

42:19

far more energy intensive, slave labor

42:22

intensive, than for example just getting

42:24

a gasoline car, and these are

42:26

giant non-recyclable batteries that go into

42:28

the earth and stay there forever.

42:30

There are consequences. Remember cash for

42:32

clunkers? The idea was, oh, let's

42:34

make this, let's make the roads

42:37

more environmentally friendly. So rather than

42:39

driving old cars into the ground,

42:41

we incentivize people to trade them in

42:44

to be destroyed so they could use

42:46

that money to purchase new cars that

42:48

have to be manufactured, again, largely through

42:50

slave labor and energy intensive means. By

42:52

the way. Download the app if you

43:08

anymore now keep in mind before we

43:10

move on I want to give you

43:12

a few examples of where environmental

43:15

intervention has screwed up but this

43:17

company colossal the same company on on

43:19

the case trying to revive the woolly

43:21

mammoth Why? Why? Like

43:23

I get that it's cool. I

43:26

understand that it's cool. But again,

43:28

do you understand the catastrophe that

43:30

could take place if you bring

43:32

back a woolly mammoth and just

43:34

say, well, let's just let the

43:36

cards fall where they may. Do

43:38

we really need woolly mammoth? Right

43:40

now, a lot of Americans, right?

43:42

They're having to ratchet down their

43:44

belt. They're having to be careful.

43:46

They're having to make some cutbacks.

43:48

You want to bring back the

43:50

woolly mammoth? There are some

43:52

things that nature has created

43:55

that were a mistake.

43:57

There are many species.

44:00

the dodo bird, the willy mammoth,

44:02

Rosie O'Donnell mosquitoes. Mosquitoes, they're annoying,

44:04

although they do feed fish, I

44:07

understand that. Nature's worse, is, we

44:09

don't, do we need Snake Island?

44:11

So for people who don't know,

44:14

we've talked about Snake Island is

44:16

an island off the coast of

44:18

Brazil. It's about 110 acres. There's

44:21

one snake per square meter on

44:23

the island. There are some, by

44:25

the way, snakes that only exist

44:28

on these, on this island itself.

44:30

We have to preserve this ecosystem,

44:32

otherwise it could disrupt. the other

44:35

ecosystem to which it has no

44:37

connect. It is an island where

44:39

if we wipe it out tomorrow,

44:42

it would only affect the ecosystem

44:44

of that island. They have flying

44:47

snakes. They have the Golden Landsad

44:49

Pit Viper. One bite is fatal.

44:51

We have an island full of

44:54

snakes. My point here is we

44:56

need the willy mammoth about as

44:58

much as we need. Snake Island.

45:01

When it's time to get away.

45:03

to leave the hustle and bustle

45:05

of everyday life, to abandon your

45:08

worries the door. There's a place

45:10

that beckons off golden coasts of

45:12

Sao Paulo with open arms in

45:15

Snake Island. Sandy beaches and miles

45:17

of coastline with not another human

45:19

in sight. Snake Island, an actual

45:22

place, averaging at least one deadly

45:24

snake per square meter, crawling. with

45:27

Mother Earth's most evil creatures. Venamous

45:29

snakes, flying snakes, snakes that haunt

45:31

and packs, it is literally filled

45:34

to the brim with deadly snakes.

45:36

It's a place that leaves you

45:38

grateful for all the modern day

45:41

basic bitch white guy problems you

45:43

have at home, should you ever

45:45

make it back alive. So pack

45:48

your depends and book your travel

45:50

today and prepare to ask yourself.

45:52

Why the hell don't we just

45:55

nuke Snake Island? Your trip begins

45:57

the gates of hell. It's

46:01

a thing. It shouldn't be. Snake

46:03

Island is a thing. I know

46:05

you'll say I'm being insensitive. I

46:07

don't care. I really don't care.

46:09

Let's give you some examples. References

46:11

are always available. Links in the...

46:13

Oh sorry, Nick, you were about

46:15

to say something. What's more dangerous,

46:17

being caught on Snake Island or

46:20

Epstein? Oh, well I guess it

46:22

depends on my age and gender.

46:24

Is Bill Clinton there? Yeah. Even

46:26

then I'd still take my chances

46:28

on Epstein Island. I would still

46:30

take my chances. I'd rather end

46:32

up being someone's blood bag, someone's

46:34

blood bag than half to half

46:36

to face. flying snakes. Yeah, that

46:38

was a creep. I didn't know

46:40

those existed. I thought you were

46:42

just kidding. Yeah, no, it's a

46:44

little blood transfusions. Actually, Johnny Boy

46:46

knew a guy who got a

46:48

blood transfusion in a hospital. He

46:51

was in his, I think, 70s

46:53

or 80s. He'll tell the story.

46:55

Got a blood transfusion from a

46:57

younger guy. His gray hair went

46:59

away. But he lost two legs.

47:01

Elvis in a wheelchair. So they

47:03

always just assume, hey, we can

47:05

be a net positive. The left

47:07

always assumes, or these environmentalists, they

47:09

assume that we are always accidentally

47:11

a net negative to the environment,

47:13

you know, by creating houses, driving

47:15

cars. But when deliberately intervening in

47:17

the course of nature, it's... It's

47:19

deliberately a net positive. Let me

47:22

give you some examples where that's

47:24

not the case. Wolves, since we're

47:26

talking about dire wolves, 1974, the

47:28

US Fish and Wildlife Service officially

47:30

declared gray wolves as an endangered

47:32

species. So there was a conservation

47:34

effort to reintroduce wolves across North

47:36

America. Okay, that happened through the

47:38

90s. There are unintended consequences. In

47:40

this case, Moose! Moose populations declined

47:42

by up to 90%! Jeez! An

47:44

elk up to 80%! Now, it's

47:46

not just due to wolves, but

47:48

if you search, Google, Rock, Moose,

47:50

their top predator, wolves! I'm sure

47:53

it has something to do with

47:55

it, but the environmentalist will never

47:57

tell you that to say, oh,

47:59

it's... kind of a tick, okay,

48:01

did they exist pre- Moose Boone?

48:03

Yes it did. There are unintended

48:05

consequences and the craziest thing is in

48:07

Michigan there was a vote on a

48:09

wolf hunt because people in the upper

48:11

peninsula were having problems with wolves and

48:13

it was voted down by hipsters in

48:15

Detroit. They should have no vote in

48:17

the wolf hunt. Seems like a county

48:19

issue. It really does. They're going well

48:21

if you get rid of the wolves

48:23

then we'll have more coyotes and the

48:25

people in northern Michigan. Yeah, yeah, we're

48:27

more concerned with the wolf. problem right

48:29

now. We'll deal with the Kayama. Black

48:31

people getting rid of their pit bulls

48:34

replacing them with wolves. For the love

48:36

of God, man. Have you tried to drown

48:38

a wolf in a bathtub when it loses

48:40

a fight? It's incredibly difficult. You gotta throw

48:42

the toast or anything. Well, you actually had

48:44

a story. Remember, you were on a film

48:46

set and there was a Native American, I

48:48

believe, like wolf trainer. He was a wolf

48:50

expert. He was a stunt guy who had a

48:52

little side hustle where he... would lease out

48:55

male timber wolf to the movie industry and

48:57

he had this giant roster of Native Americans

48:59

for for extras and that was his business.

49:01

What? Like about a niche? He told you.

49:04

He told me. Hold on I only have

49:06

sitting bare walking duck and coral. And hit

49:08

on seven. His pinnacle was last of the

49:10

Mohicans. Now he was known as the go-to

49:13

guy if he needed Native American extras. And

49:15

wolf. Or wolf. Or wolf. And wolf. And

49:17

wolf. And wolf. And wolf. And wolf. And

49:19

wolf. And wolf. And wolf. And wolf. And

49:22

wolf. And wolf. and everyone was petting this

49:24

thing. 150 pound was beautiful animal. Yeah, I

49:26

would get pet it though. Yeah, he fed

49:28

it from his mouth as a puppy and

49:31

this thing totally trusted him and it was,

49:33

he had some amazing stories. Well he said

49:35

at two years they would always attack him,

49:37

challenge him. At two years a male timber

49:40

wolf doesn't even know this, consciously they have

49:42

to challenge the alpha. It's going to happen.

49:44

That's not an interview with that guy. Yeah,

49:46

he's missing half snow. That's right. Yeah, and

49:49

he was challenged. He said when it came

49:51

on on him, he was in a hotel

49:53

room and it business picked up. He said

49:55

it was in a hotel room. Hotel room.

49:58

Yeah. Well, they allowed pets. And so. Yes,

50:00

we do have a $50 dog to pause.

50:02

Oh my God! The wolf wants to know,

50:04

is there a continental breakfast? They said the

50:06

room was trashed and he had to beat

50:08

down the challenge and he said when he

50:10

got it off the ground, lifted it up

50:13

and it submitted because it can't do that

50:15

to you. So it totally, but if, like

50:17

an old UFC fighter. Any French kiss it

50:19

with French toast in his mouth? Yeah, really.

50:21

This is the same thing. Here's the interesting

50:23

thing. If he ever shows shows weakness, ever

50:25

shows weakness ever. The challenge comes again. Because

50:28

the Alpha has... We're talking about the Native

50:30

Americans or the Native Americans? This guy was

50:32

full-blooded Mohawk. I just couldn't live on those

50:34

pins and needles. No! You're afraid that you're

50:36

going to stub your toe, like, ah! and

50:38

your whole life comes unglued. Really? So as

50:40

a Ryan song, you're crying? A son of

50:43

wolf is tearing in vain out of your

50:45

neck. I just hurt my back telling that

50:47

joke. I'm freaking old of mine. Are you

50:49

okay? The fourth one on and they won't

50:51

go on your neck giving your wife the

50:53

finger behind her back. But if he was

50:55

ever doing stunt work, he had to put

50:58

the wolf away. Question the wolf away. Because

51:00

if, you know, it's play fighting, it doesn't

51:02

know it. If this guy takes a hit,

51:04

shows any weakness, shows any weakness, shows any

51:06

weakness, Yeah, Dean. When he gets home, the

51:08

challenge comes again. You were a woman. It

51:10

happens like a walking house. Yeah. You show

51:13

any weakness during breakfast? You can fucking stab.

51:15

And I ask him, I say, if I

51:17

came over to your house. Would this thing

51:19

attack me? He said, no, it's not, it's

51:21

not like a dog, it wouldn't attack you.

51:23

It would look to me to see if

51:25

I was accepting you into the den. Yeah.

51:27

And then it would love you and be

51:30

all over you and be fine. But if

51:32

you came in aggressively, it would eat you,

51:34

it would eat you, it would consume you,

51:36

it wouldn't bite you, like a dog, you

51:38

would eat you. Well, that's same with monkeys,

51:40

I was a Louis CK show, they had

51:42

a monkey on the set. Not long after

51:45

that lady got her face chewed off. Yeah,

51:47

yeah, yeah. I was scared shit. I was

51:49

supposed to be in the scene and I

51:51

wouldn't. No. And the guy said that the

51:53

trainer who was taking care of the monkey.

51:55

Yeah, he's sensing that you're a little. And

51:57

I go, what is that? Well, he might

52:00

get a little. I'm quoting. get a little

52:02

nuts. Yeah but in layman's terms you know

52:04

it might get a little nuts. I go

52:06

what are you shitting me? Yeah and everybody

52:08

else is petting it and stuff I wouldn't

52:10

get married. No no monkeys freak me. I

52:12

saw that Asian. So if the wolf has

52:15

to defend the place. Yeah. Another challenge is

52:17

coming because the awful showed weakness. Now by

52:19

the way a wolf had to do what

52:21

would he do? What would he do like

52:23

a Girl Scout? Ring of the daub. Leave

52:25

the Samoas. I can't corroborate that but that's

52:27

what the man told. Hey anyone out there

52:30

who's a wolf expert tell me if

52:32

that checks out but I can tell

52:34

you the eater wolf population and Moose

52:36

that's that's just become mutual vulnerable. I

52:39

love this is one of my favorite

52:41

episode. Let's Merlin Merlin. That God

52:43

likes to have a little fun. The

52:45

only animal that consumes you alive with

52:48

complete disregard. The lion bites you so

52:50

you bleed out because it doesn't want

52:52

to fight a jag. What crushes your

52:55

skull, drags you into the tree. The

52:57

barrel burrows through your body cavity while

52:59

you are alive because it has no

53:01

other predator that could challenge it. It's

53:04

just a non-tization. So there are over

53:06

500,000 brown and black bears in the

53:08

United States. Too many. Too many. Too

53:11

many. Then you had bears being

53:13

reintroduced to the United States. They

53:15

regained, I think this is more so

53:17

black bears, but we did the same thing

53:19

with Grizzlies, 60% of their former range. Now

53:21

you have the brown bear population, for example,

53:24

just exploding in states like Wyoming because of

53:26

some conservation efforts. So, unintended

53:28

consequences. Now you have to decide

53:30

if you line up on team

53:32

human being or team animal because

53:34

they'll always blame people. Well, actually

53:37

it's your fault for being attacked

53:39

by a bear because you live

53:41

in a house. So the unintended

53:43

consequences?

53:45

Well

53:47

now bears have

53:50

run into far

53:52

more conflicts

53:55

with human

53:58

beings. It's nice.

54:00

Got to resolve that cord. So

54:02

obviously we want to make sure

54:04

that there are bare resistant containers

54:06

out there for... Okay, Jim Gavigan.

54:08

Put their traction to. He was

54:10

like a Jim Gavigan with a

54:12

monk roof. But we want to

54:15

make sure that can is bare

54:17

resistant enough. He's swelling from... Is

54:19

there a child's car seat? Look

54:21

at the baby gone. My lord!

54:23

Oh, watch this. Oh my God.

54:25

Playing with the inflatable. You okay?

54:27

And here's the thing, by the

54:29

way. 20, I believe in the

54:31

last few years, in 2022 I

54:33

know there were 46,000. We've seen

54:35

a 2.1 times increase from 2015

54:37

as far as human and black

54:39

bear encounters. Okay, now here's something

54:41

else. We're also seeing more fatalities

54:43

from brown bears across the country.

54:45

And they will blame people, but

54:47

you see more bear interaction where

54:49

people haven't necessarily expanded their territory,

54:51

right? People live in towns, we're

54:53

human beings. So again, the solution

54:56

is eliminate all people because if

54:58

a bear finds out they can

55:00

get free food from the trash,

55:02

it's done. They're all, you can

55:04

relocate them, they're gonna go back

55:06

to the free food because they're

55:08

designed to survive. They're not trying

55:10

to thrive. Why would they go

55:12

try and hunt for fish? Why

55:14

would they go scavenge for food?

55:16

If they know there's free food

55:18

in the trash. So the consequence

55:20

is more people get attacked at

55:22

this point. There's less hunting. And

55:24

it's your fault. We just need

55:26

to eliminate cities. And by the

55:28

way, before I continue with Mountain

55:30

Lions, if you are not a

55:32

rumble premium member, do consider joining.

55:34

We're going to continue with 100%

55:37

more show today. And Nick DiPalo,

55:39

Jasmine Crock, at The Racist. We

55:41

have a segment there for you.

55:43

And if you're not a member,

55:45

it's a segment there for you.

55:47

And if you're not a member,

55:49

it's there for you. And if

55:51

you're not a member, no doubt

55:53

is talking about the tariffs. But

55:55

Mountain Lions. OK. OK. There was

55:57

a big movement for conservation for

55:59

mountain life. Even though they're not

56:01

considered an endangered species. But here's

56:03

what's funny about mountain lines. This

56:05

is a perfect example of how privileged

56:07

largely white people trying to save the

56:09

earth can't... If you preserve mountain lines,

56:12

if you say, okay, we're going to

56:14

introduce more mountain lines, we're going to

56:16

make sure that you don't hunt mountain

56:18

lines. You end up with fewer

56:20

mountain lines, because mountain lines are

56:23

incredibly territorial. One male mountain lion has

56:25

a hunting radius that is a hundred

56:27

miles and it will allow no male

56:29

mountain lions. So like, hey, we're going

56:31

to introduce him. This guy's like, crap,

56:33

I gotta kill more mountain lions. Another

56:35

lesson on borders. Yeah, exactly, exactly.

56:38

Exactly. There's a mountain line in

56:40

a magga hat saying build a

56:42

wall. So this, there's self-deporting. There's

56:44

nothing you can do. If you

56:46

kill mountain lines, we'll fear mountain

56:49

lines. If you preserve mountain lines,

56:51

the mountain lines are going to

56:53

kill them and you end up

56:55

with the same amount of mountain

56:57

lines. They will allow no other

57:00

male mountain lines in their territory.

57:02

They'll allow a female mountain line

57:04

in, exclusively. I love that. They

57:06

get thumbs. Oh my God.

57:08

Is that a mental? Life

57:11

finds a way. That's crazy.

57:13

Punctured an elevator. Can we

57:15

break that up again? That's

57:18

one of my favorite photo

57:20

shops ever. That really is

57:23

well done. Holy me. That's

57:25

me watching a game. Is

57:27

the wife. Come back and

57:30

I'll kill your boyfriend. Here's

57:32

another one. Seals. So there's

57:35

a huge conservation effort. Again,

57:37

all references available. There

57:39

was a reason. There was overfishing, seals,

57:42

we get it, right? Same thing

57:44

with whales. We needed their fat

57:46

to light our lamps, and then we

57:48

moved on to oil, but now

57:50

we're not supposed to use that.

57:53

So there was a conservation effort

57:55

for seals. So the population quadrupled.

57:57

Seals and cropped. Since the 1970s.

58:00

So when the sharks go, hey, there's more food.

58:02

And the seals are often onshore, so the sharks

58:04

start coming into shore. For example, in Cape Cod,

58:07

they saw interactions or detections of sharks increased by

58:09

15 times. There were three attacks in the entire

58:11

20th century. In Massachusetts, since 2012, there have been

58:13

five. And pour those at Dunkin Donuts. Yes, exactly.

58:15

Amity means friendship. Yes it does. It's close those

58:18

beaches. So at least there's always a mayor. So

58:20

here's the thing, I get it. I understand you

58:22

don't want no seals. Sure, but it also disrupted

58:24

the ecosystem as far as more sharks, more seals,

58:26

we'll get to that. But again, if you are

58:29

on the side of human beings, you also understand,

58:31

hey, far more, like it's a five-time increase here

58:33

or a 15-time increase. Maybe there's a split the

58:35

difference. There's a documentary, I think, Great White Summer,

58:37

I highly recommend you go and watch it, where

58:40

the town's people are talking to a city council,

58:42

they have some ecologists, or they have some conservationists

58:44

there. Their name, Quint. And the people who all

58:46

sound like they're from the, they're all part of

58:48

the Kennedy family. Yes. Like I'm not concerned about

58:51

the sharks. Bobby's out there, and they can't swim

58:53

in the bay. Beyond just the commercial fishing. I

58:55

don't think those places have the trajectory of sharks

58:57

that we have. I don't know. I don't know.

58:59

I can't give you any quantitative figures and you

59:02

can add to this. What did you know very

59:04

well? But there are lots of other areas in

59:06

the riding economies where there are also sharks and

59:08

seals like in parts of Florida, California. I don't

59:10

think those places have the trajectory of sharks that

59:13

we have here. I think the trajectory and the

59:15

future is where there's great concern. People are not

59:17

coming back. People are not coming back. People are

59:19

being attacked. They're concerned. But it doesn't matter because

59:21

something something something the environment. we need

59:24

more seals, we need

59:26

more sharks. Here's something else,

59:28

an unintended consequence. Seals,

59:30

we wanted to stop overfishing,

59:33

but then we preserved

59:35

the seals. So don't know

59:37

if you know this,

59:39

seals eat fish. So in

59:41

some cases, the seals

59:44

have hurt some of the

59:46

fish populations and certainly

59:48

the lobster populations. But the

59:50

biggest factor impacting us

59:52

is in the seal population

59:55

here. We used to

59:57

be able to go anywhere

59:59

from about eight miles

1:00:01

to 25 miles out to

1:00:03

go catch cod fish.

1:00:06

But over the past 10

1:00:08

years, the seal population

1:00:10

has decimated the inshore fishery.

1:00:12

So we used to

1:00:14

be a thriving fishery close

1:00:17

to home. We now

1:00:19

have to travel anywhere from

1:00:21

50 to 125 miles

1:00:23

to really be successful at

1:00:25

catching cod fish. And

1:00:28

I don't care about sharks,

1:00:30

they'd be totally fine

1:00:32

if we had none of

1:00:34

them left and I

1:00:36

don't think anyone would miss

1:00:39

them. And I remember

1:00:41

the good old days when

1:00:43

I was missing half

1:00:45

a hamstring out here, surfing,

1:00:47

which brings me to

1:00:50

five animals that absolutely should

1:00:52

be extinct according to

1:00:54

yours truly. It's a new

1:00:56

segment, Crowder's Top Five. Five"]

1:01:06

You know it ain't

1:01:08

no lie. It's

1:01:13

Crowder's Top

1:01:15

Five. This

1:01:17

week, Top Five Species. That

1:01:20

should be extinct. Number five, anything

1:01:25

on Snake Island. Anything on Snake

1:01:27

Island should be extinct. And then

1:01:29

numbers four through one. Just spider,

1:01:31

spider, spider, spider, spider, spider, spider,

1:01:33

spider, spider, spider. This has been

1:01:35

This Week's Top Five. You know

1:01:37

it ain't no lie. It's

1:01:40

Crowder's Top Five. It's

1:01:46

Crowder's Top Five. That

1:01:52

picked up. Yeah, there you go.

1:01:57

And those of you who

1:01:59

are rebel premium members,

1:02:01

we're going to... continue with Crockett the

1:02:04

racist. We have a new installment. Please consider joining

1:02:06

you to continue watching and we'll take your chats.

1:02:08

Those of you who are not, you can continue

1:02:10

watching the lineup. We are going to send you

1:02:12

over to Tim Poole. It's time for Crockett,

1:02:14

the racist. The only people that are crying

1:02:16

are the mediocre white boys. I am tired

1:02:18

of the white tears.
