CUBA ATTACKS: Terrorist Attack, False Flag, or Humanitarian Disaster?

I'm not saying she's Satan, but she's closer to that than perfect if you were to compare her to something. You know what? Just scratch that. She's just not good. We're going to be talking about that, and Harry Anton has some new polls, our favorite, to indicate that actually there's a lot of good going on, and a lot of people are happy about that. Why is there a disconnect? There was a major incident with Cuba, a boat. Some people shot. I know people are thinking Bay of Pigs number two. Could this be something that has stuff popping off? maybe I'm going to make the case as to why we should just conquer Cuba or liberate Cuba and make it a part of Florida.

Speaking of guns and people, it's time to honor the best among us. It's Black History Month. some fast facts for you to honor the best among us we're not worthy in 1773 phyllis wheatley was the first african-american to publish a book on poetry that's very nice useless in 1908 jack johnson became the first black world heavyweight boxing champion and interestingly enough they uh tried to bar blacks from being champion for a long time until like joe lewis after that because uh he liked the white women oh also introduced in 1930 betty boot was actually based on black singer esther jones this has been the more you know black history month all right i thought jack johnson was somebody else i thought he was that uh white wyand guy Da, da, do, do, do, do, do, do, do. Curious George. He had like a, he had a gang war with the John Mayer fans. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Don't, don't, don't mention Jack Johnson to Dave Matthews guys. I don't even know who Dave Matthews is, but I don't like him. Hey. He's got a band. Here's a woman who wants you to know that the, they know how people, they often bitch about cultural appropriation. Okay. So before I get to this next part, I want you to think Palestinian. Palestine. Like what culture? Okay. What would be appropriate beyond obviously killing Jews and being suicide? Yeah, obviously. Would it be considered appropriation if we somehow declared, as this woman does, that Palestinians own the moon? Palestine on the moon. This is my first children's book, the story of how Palestine went to the moon and changed the world. It starts out with this young girl named Zeta. She is the first person ever born on the moon. She's Palestinian. One of the principal things in this book was something her great sidel, her great grandfather, told her. The only life worth living is a life in service of others. Just not Jews. It's so amazing that they took it. It's an Albert Einstein quote, by the way. And how Palestinians refused to leave even though they had just one little bit of earth. Wait, rewind that a second. Was that a guy yanking a lady by the hijab? Did I see what I think I saw? Yeah. Play that. Get over here. He used to leave even though they had a little bit of earth. So what they did was to build one house on top of another, on top of another, until they reached the moon. From the crater to the cheese. A lot happened on the moon, including how they discovered magic moon dust. They were going to use their magic moon dust. No Jews up there. To free Palestine and help others get free, too. I am really proud of this book. And it is actually coming out at the same time that I'm about to be a grandmother. Yes, and it can be had for just $30. The book fails to answer one key question, though. Can you stone a woman on the moon? You want to look? Houston we have a problem Well it's not It's not a problem for her How do you take care of infidelity? I don't know It's a lucky break I love how she said they found magic moon dust That they were going to go and use to free Palestine And when people talk about freeing Palestine It's always from the river to the sea So they found magic Jew killing dust, I think, is what they're actually saying. Is it Bacon Bits? It's a children's book. What is it? Yeast for leavened bread? Zyklon B or something? You found it on the moon? Good Lord. Whoa. Hey, I didn't write the book. Whoa. Yikes. Jeez. See, this is what you're talking about. He can't feel, so he has to hurt others. He doesn't know. I'm trying to stop others. He's like a man with no nerve endings. His hand is just on a hot stove, and people are like, hey, Gerald, your hand's burning. He's like, I don't care. He's like, I don't care. I'm going to joke about Zyklon B, and you're going to like it. I didn't joke about it. He's like Mr. D's, except instead of his foot, it's his heart. Yes, exactly. It's his heart. Why are we making a joke out of this? She's the one that wrote the book on Zyklon B on the moon. Hey, that is your name. No. That is your moon dust. That is your moon dust. All right. This next one, it's violent, but I'm okay with it. One Little Caesars employee, he came in with some hot and ready crazy fists. Wait. Wait, it's not funny. I'm more bothered by the camera woman laughing. That's so rude. That's so rude. Yeah, that's a fun prank. She stops laughing at some point. Don't touch me. Don't touch me. Let me just get in your physical space and push you around. Now I'm a victim. This is boom. I'm done touching you. Good night, sweet Kang. laughing to his kids are here yeah oh why was he acting like that oh yeah and guys you can comment below uh because i know you'll get some virtue signaling christians come on that's never a good no i think it's a very good thing oh it's very like martha stewart said it's a good thing that man went somewhere he is not allowed to be not permitted to be he got physical he got in a man's space that man obviously tried to clutch him tried to remove him without striking him and then sure enough what do we see victim victim catch don't touch me don't touch me can you i can't believe he touching him what do you do there this man has put himself in a situation this black man where the only option now is to put you down to put you on the floor he's already asked you to not do what you're doing you are not within your legal right to do it you have invaded his space you have been physically threatening you haven't allowed him to de-escalate by gently moving you so enjoy your own personal Roberto Duran. We can also look for it when we zoom in. We saw what the conflict, well, sort of the seedling that started the conflict. Oh. Oh. Oh, wow. I don't know how that marketing campaign's gonna go. and this just reflects what everyone knows from 2021 to 2025 the belief that black americans face high levels of discrimination it's down 25 oh so don't feel guilty as a white person the fatigue is not just you it's when i watch those look you want plenty of people watching listening right now you're black comment below you guys need to start you guys need to start cleaning clean ranks yourselves yeah i mean it's people watching laughing do you think that lady would have been upset if that man did which he no doubt was moving toward doing committing an act of violence they just can't fathom that someone might fight back hey this is a call to everyone in the united States of America. If you find yourself in that situation, fight back. Fight back. We're not talking about going out and committing acts of violence for no reason. We're not talking about hate crimes. You should love your neighbors. By the way, I have black neighbors who are fantastic, who I would hope would step in if they saw something like that happening. But if you find yourself in that situation where you are the victim of violent assault, you don't need to wait for it to escalate to the point that you bounce off the concrete the linoleum the tile floor if you find yourself in that situation fight back it's the only thing that's going to make a difference because an entire generation of young black men have been taught that you are weak that you are afraid that you can be intimidated it's called white boy punking yeah don't be punked fight back yeah a hundred percent agree you have to have a culture of accountability so the person doesn't hold the camera up and record they try to stop the fight right happening and go hey this isn't worth it he's going to fight back absolutely i love it by the way also fight back against the irs don't wait for another irs lighter or frozen bank account call 1-800-958-1000 or visit tnusa.com slash crowder irs lighter or letter did i say lighter you might have said lighter i didn't know they gave out lighters well i tell you when i get my irs notices i use my lighter i just go I sent you a thank you. That's a sort of a write off. It's just a burn off. I just burn it off. Yeah, but then I have to find another copy. I know. I know you have to deal with it. Just don't let me get Mike Tyson. All right. I'll try. Speaking of some tough people, the Cubans. Now, Cuba is is very unique in a lot of ways, as are its potential voters. It's the opposite of Puerto Rico. OK, and I am going to make a case here. And I know legislatively I'll tell you what it needs to be done, that Cuba, there's a strong case for it potentially if stuff goes down, us liberating them and absorbing them into Florida. Then it renders all the swing states irrelevant. And we have the closest thing to a super state like California on the right because it's one of the most consistently conservative voting blocs in America. Cuban Americans, these people want to be liberated. At some point in time, it's going to happen. You can't have an island that close right off our shores with Russian, Chinese influence. It's a national security issue and things may be escalating. And I know you'll say it's a psyop because we want to go to war with Cuba, but we're not talking about boots on the ground. A few flyovers could really take care of most of it. So yesterday, some Cuban security forces killed four and injured six. What we're hearing right now or more individuals on a Florida registered speedboat. will give you some of the context because cuban government says one thing and there are other reports that say the exact opposite we begin with breaking news just off the coast of cuba local 10 is learning a speedboat from florida made it to the island the cuban government confirming tonight it killed four people on board with another six left injured fearing it was an attack That boat was registered here in Florida and it was in Cuban waters We do know this morning four men were killed. Six others were injured. Those injured were medically assisted. It was some sort of confrontation with a Cuban vessel. And, of course, Marco Rubio, champion at the bit, did issue a statement on this because those are his former people. He's American, but he has a heart for the Cuban people. So this morning we were made aware by Cuban authorities of an incident off the coast of Cuba. We immediately began to look into it. As it stands now, the Department of Homeland Security, the Coast Guard, others are involved. The majority of the information we still possess is what Cuban authorities are providing, both the public and the U.S. government. We have our embassy on the ground in Havana working this as we speak, asking for access to the people that were on those vessels, if they were American citizens or permanent residents, according to the Cuban regime that the boat was registered in Florida. The majority of the facts being publicly reported are those by the information provided by the Cubans. We will verify that independently. and we'll as we gather more information then we'll be prepared to respond accordingly i'm not going to speculate because i'm not going i'm not going to pine on what i don't yet know but we're going to find out exactly what happened here and then we'll respond accordingly oh and you know that he really wants to respond accordingly he's just itching for it as seen behind the scenes like you know he needs to tone it down no he doesn't but i understand i love it which brings us to a little he said she said so uh he said okay so that was that was rubio but there were some reports according to an unnamed u.s official we're bringing this to you. You can check the references. The firefight involved a U.S. civilian boat that was part of a flotilla to get relatives out of Cuba, adding that the vessel was not a U.S. Navy or Coast Guard boat. Now, a couple of things. We're going to get to what they said, the Cuban government, who can never be trusted. Initially, there are reports that this was a drug boat because they're trying to smuggle in drugs. If you bring up the picture, it does not look like a a drug boat they would have a pretty pretty substantial boat in comparison looks like dexter's boat yeah so so i tend to believe that that's what was going on as opposed to what the cuban government is trying to tell you and here's also this is a really this is a key difference between what the left accuses of being fascism versus actual fascism you know um here in the United States, we try and keep illegal invaders out. True fascist governments, and people try and separate fascism and communism, they don't let their people leave. And if you look throughout history, I mean, you can look to Nazi Germany, same thing. You can look to Stalin, you can look to Maoist China, you can look to the USSR. They don't let their people leave. They're not, they're not really concerned with keeping people out. As a matter of fact, I can tell you this, one of the few people who spent time in Havana under a Canadian passport, filming a commercial. It was ridiculous. Rising Crest Pizza commercial. There was no reason to be there. And then entertaining the troops in Guantanamo Bay. You know one of the biggest threats in Guantanamo Bay, the reason they had people on that wall, on that fence, is Cubans trying to get in to Gitmo. They would rather be prisoners of Gitmo than citizens of Cuba. Which brings us to the Cuban government. She said... So... So, uh... They said that all participants Since they were Cuban nationals living in the United States, they were attempting to infiltrate and conduct terrorist activities. And that weapons were seized, including assault rifles, Molotov cocktails. Also, a box of exploding cigars destined for current president Miguel Diaz-Canel. Now, people will look at this and say, well, the American boat fired first. Sure, I understand that. but you would too if you were trying to get some people out of cuba if they were trying to flee and then cuban government officials uh came upon you because now you have a choice to make go away forever or fight so there is some missing context here i i tend to believe that they were trying to get some cuban nationals out because we've seen that time and time again now you have some on the left who are parroting the cuban government line right and this will bring us to the black pillars later they're trying to tell you that see your government is just looking for a reason for war and you know michael moore said that cuba actually has better health care than us here in the united states the left always lines up with opposing governments and their propaganda they'll they'll use uh hamas's numbers when talking about the israeli conflict they will use cuba's statements when discussing our relations. So let me give you some other examples, though, as to why you may not want to trust the government of Cuba. In 1994, the 13 DeMarzo tugboat massacre, the Cuban government deliberately sank refugee vessels, one in particular killing 41, including 10 children, and the Cuban government called it an accident. Oops. 2010, there was the Missouri hospital death. 26 psychiatric patients died from starvation and prolonged neglect. The Cuban government claimed that they died from cold temperatures. In Cuba? In Cuba. What? In Cuba, the microclimate after which the humidor is modeled. 70 degrees and 70% humidity. Do they have like a really tall mountain nobody knows about where these patients were being stored? What the hell is going on? They have a great air conditioner. Yeah. So when people talk about like the USS Liberty, which we can discuss that. But this has been happening all the time, too, with the Cuban government. They've constantly been a bad actor. 2012, the Oswaldo Paya assassination, the Cuban government, they murdered a pro-democracy advocate, and then they claimed that he died in a car accident. So, yeah, they dropped a car on him. Yeah, exactly. Like an Acme anvil. Yeah. So here's also why I think, look, people are saying this may be a reason for escalation and we're just looking for a reason to, you know, go to war. Well, let's let's think about this for a second. If it looks like Venezuela, if it looks like removing their dictator and giving people there a fighting chance. Also, what will we get from it? Would a secure Cuba be in our national security interest? Would it be in the interest of not only American people, of course, first and foremost, but the Cuban people? And could they work together? Would it be a mutually beneficial change for Cuba to be liberated? Yes, and I think it should become a part of Florida if we go that route. And the left is terrified of that. Make no mistake, the left is terrified of a free Cuban people. because they can't use them as a poster child they use cuba as a poster child for communist success for a long long time yeah and it doesn't work anymore so look at cuban americans you can check the references cubans here in the united states they are the most consistent conservative voting block in america 2024 70 of cuban americans voted for trump 80 of people with a cuban spouse voted republican you don't find that anywhere else that level of consistency there was a little bit of an outlier with barack obama where some switched and they've they've swung back yeah hard right different from other hispanic latin american countries because these people have faced communism typically people who flee communism they make sure that their children and their grandchildren know what that's like not people who come from a bad economy so they're ungrateful people who had to actively risk something cuban americans are a very different breed this brings us to uh some celebrity examples here by the way 11 a.m eastern that's when we stream tune in if you're watching a clip there's this uh cuban singer by the way who's not a trump fan to be clear but this brings us to she said this is uh camilla cabello she called out cuba's regime okay she wrote it has been 67 years of a falling dictatorship and an oppressive regime the cuban people are suffering in an echo chamber where no one can hear them because to speak is to risk your life many people are starving looking for food in trash heaps and the only way to survive is having relatives ship you boxes of medicine because not even the hospitals have medicine fact check true i have quite a few close friends who are cuban americans whose parents live there so that's what she's saying yeah as a notable cuban who has family there in cuba by the way not even a trump supporter pretty anti-trump if i'm not mistaken but she understands the reality of cuba so those on the left terrified that americans may learn of the perils of communism well that brings us to he said uh hassan piker chiming in saying nah don't believe uh her lived experiences i tweeted gross when i saw this do you know how stupid that statement is the entire planet that is terrified of coming out against the united states of america has said time and time again over the past 67 years please end the blockade this is completely unjustifiable please release the cuban population free them allow them to exist normally allow them to engage in commerce allow them to actually grow their country and america has said you are medically stupid if this is your take it's disgusting it's extra disgusting when you're parodying this imperialist propaganda at a time of crisis when your family members are directly being starved by the american government oh that's right wake the up dude here's what's funny to me and this i don't mean funny haha i mean funny he's functionally retarded yes so you don't blame the cuban government which has been effectively a dynasty for a very long time and you wear the founder of the feast che govera on your you wear him on your t-shirts the guy who bragged about executing without trial and was intensely racist and also killed gays while we're at it um you don't blame them okay you also don't blame the ussr you also don't blame russia or china the two biggest trading partners on earth who engage in trade with why why can't they help them why aren't they enough you blame the united states for choosing not to support the government let's also change one thing okay when we went to cuba um we were made very aware that any money you give people any tips that can be tracked it doesn't go to the people it goes to the government that's why canadians you can sound off people who would go on vacation in cuba which i'm not a fan of by the way i was there for work you would leave uh makeup you would leave cosmetics you would leave leave soap you would leave snacks you would leave candy chiclets you'd leave it in a suitcase open for the housekeepers because it was something that couldn't be tracked that they could take home to their families now if the united states said hey we lift the blockade and americans can go and spend millions upon millions of dollars with no change in government do you think they're gonna go wow we have look at this we have such a bounty we're actually going to allow it to go to our people or do you think they would still in practice follow their communist beliefs that they need to control means of production distribution revenue and distribute it how they see fit what would change aside from many many many many millions or billions of dollars going to the cuban government why would it all of a sudden go to the people why no responsibility for china and russia the left will blame the united states for the plight of Cuba. And since they want to do that, hey, how about this? If this escalates and we get into a conflict, let's make Cuba a part of Florida. I mean, it would need to be a territory first, just to be clear. I understand all that. You need to vote two thirds of the Senate. You need a majority of the House. You need the Florida legislature approval, all that. I get it. But the population of Florida would grow from 23 million to 34 million. You'd gain 14 congressional seats, 14 congressional seats, and it would be a guaranteed hard red state the way California is blue, rendering all other swing states irrelevant. Guarantee you, huge portion of the Cuban people would be happy with it, not to mention immediate economy. The agriculture, what we could do is easily incentivize. We wouldn't need to subsidize like we do American farmers, but incentivize purchasing sugar cane, fruit, some of the major exports from Cuba. The Tourism alone would turn many of them into what we know as middle class Americans, which they have never seen in their country. And it would be international security interest to have something there as opposed to potentially a landing point for communist adversarial nations. So I think that if this escalates, Cuba becomes Florida and that's it. I guarantee you, you wouldn't get enough votes from the left. Why not? The same people who want Puerto Rico? Why do you think? oh, that's right, because they want a voting base. Only in this case, you would actually have people who would contribute. They'd be net tax contributors, and we can make a go of it, and it'd be better for everyone around. You let me know what you think. I'm saying beyond the territory. Cuba, you're now part of Florida. It's the latest key. You could shoot the latest bloodline there. There you go. Don't make anybody do that. Listen, I think that's actually a really fun idea to consider, and I think it would be way better for the Cuban people. And it's not potentially a stepping stone. I think there was film of this. It's not really a secret. Russia has bases there. The submarines going in and out. And I'm like, listen, Hassan, like this should be your paradise. This should be like everything that you said that the United States wasn't and everything that every other country on the planet could be, you know, this communist hellhole. And they have the support of the rest of the communist hellholes on the planet. They should be nothing but a thriving civilization in paradise. And yet, the way that you frame it, they are being held hostage by the United States. They need to be set free from the United States, which doesn't really have anything to do with them anymore, other than having a base there. That's about it. And we don't really talk to you guys much. Why is it that it's our problem to fix their society that's kind of stuck in the 1950s if communism really is the way? There's nothing stopping Hassan Piker from defecting and setting up shop in Cuba. He should go live there. You could stream from there. Yeah. You could do it from there. You'd be able to travel back and forth. You don't have to worry about location. well that's right the government may not allow you to that's true yeah they may seize your equipment and by that i mean definitely seize your equipment but i'm sure that would be you could blame that on the american government somehow none of these people ever do they never do they'll go on a propaganda walking tour in china and that's about it but they stay stateside the left is terrified of the cuban people's conservatism and they are terrified of cuban americans their lived experiences that's why they try to silence them on a regular basis Why wouldn't they? When they talk about marginalized people, why doesn't the left discuss Cuban Americans? Have you guys ever thought of that? Like, these are people who have actually risked life and limb to get here, fled communism. They're certainly a minority. A lot of them come here and don't speak English. Maybe if you go down to Little Havana in Florida, you might understand why. The American flags would give them PTSD. Yeah, exactly. Also, I guess, CriderShop.com right now, 20% off the payroll. This last day, 20% off apparel. You don't need a promo code. I made a mistake when I announced it during the State of the Union. I think it was just that night. But I guess it's through today. So no, 20% off. Shame. So we want to use, to start this off, we're going to show a clip from our favorite. Our favorite member of Legacy Media. I don't even count him amongst them. I would hire him in a heartbeat when CNN folds, obviously, Harry Enten. But I want to use the springboard to discuss or speak directly to the, quote, unquote, black pillars is the term. And really, they just used to be referred to as negative Nancy's. Let me ask you, how would you rate this presidency thus far? OK, that's the first question. And I think anywhere from a D plus to a B plus can be argued can be reasonable to be clear I certainly can understand some disappointments But are you anything other than grateful compared to the alternative? Because there are people out there right now saying stay home, don't vote in the midterms. It's a uniparty. There is no difference. And it is worrisome that it seems to be working on a few of the weak-minded. But here's the thing. It's predicated on this idea that Democrats are gaining momentum, that they're doing really well, and that they're becoming popular, and they are going to become the populace. That objectively couldn't be further from the truth. Just take it from Harry Etten with What a Shocker. Look at the net approval ratings for Republicans in Congress. This shutdown hasn't eaten in a Donald Trump support at all. Look at where we are now. It's a complete flip. Top choices for the 2028 DemPrez nominee. You have a leader, but it's not really a clear leader. It's within the march of air. You have Newsom at 19%. Then you have former Vice President Kamala Harris at 18%. Quite a weak number for her, given that, of course, she was the nominee last time around. Pete Buttigieg, who, of course, has run before 13%. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez at 12%. This is just a total clown car. It is a total mess. There is no clear at this particular point. It has been a long time. This is very unusual for the Democratic side to not have a clear front runner at this point. National early poll leader at at least 25 percent. Look at this. This year we get the giant question mark. No one, no one, no one, no one. You have to go all the way back, all the way back from when I wasn't even in elementary school yet, not even in pre-K yet to 1992. That was the last cycle in which there was no clear front runner at this point. And by the way, he remembers what it was like when he was a kid. He was he was the same guy. Look at this. Yeah. Here's the thing, too. Can you bring up just freeze frame? Just those those front runners right now. Yeah. So I want you to look at this for a second. Look at this. Look at this. Look at this. OK. News from Harris. Butt gig AOC. Think about when people say, oh, you know, everyone's gone far right and far. No, the right has gone somewhat left and the left has gone hard, hard, hard left. You realize that none of those people, none of those people who are most likely right now, as of this time, to be the Democrat nominee. Not one could give you any limits on abortion. Not one, if asked, could tell you eight months cut off, nine months cut off, seven months cut off. not what third trimester not one not one could give you any limit as to how many immigrants we should let into this country not one of them has has championed any platform other than catch and release revolving door for crime not one of them believes in work requirements in identification for social security for for welfare every single one supported dei every single one has supported super strict gun regulations every single one at one point or another has supported censorship has been on the side of it every single one by the way supports transitioning minors and drag queen story hour every single one of them and i will tell you this this is the the next national election is for republicans to lose i could run against any one of those people and beat them not gonna run for president i guarantee you you could ask me any candidate what would gavin newsom it's the easiest one in the world you just run on a perpetual loop the flip-flop the flip-flop flip-flop on everything oh i'm just like you i'm i can't read speeches i'm illiterate then you show the clip of him saying yeah i read your whole book in three hours that's a 10-hour audiobook him going i never supported trans people in uh women's sports then you show the clip where he did and he supported transitioning minors you show the clip of him saying i'm a gun guy i have like a sig and then you show all of his gun control legislation like you just show all the flip-flops and whoever stands across from him on that stage who am i debating which gavin newsom and present to him all of his inconsistencies it's take your pick kamala harris you just point out that she's a drunk and she's an idiot aoc aoc well hold on a second oh you're honest what about the pipe bomb oh i'd show the fake handcuffs show her incredibly expensive apartment and her nice new electric car while she talks about being a socialist all of these people are extremely vulnerable they have no bench yeah to be clear the only moderate democrat that actually exists and he's not that moderate seems to be john fetterman and the litmus test he had to pull a shotgun on a black jogger i wish we had video to be fair he was living in a rough neighborhood at the time fire bad well that's tough i understand he has a suit on there too yeah i get it that is free stroke it's weird well he didn't dress himself the doctor did yeah that's right and i say that to transition into this whole this these black pillars out there something ah trump has done absolutely nothing what they deserve to lose okay here's the thing that's just not in tune with not only Trump voters, but even those who are more in the center. People do like President Trump's vision, even if he hasn't delivered on all of it. CNN had to admit it after the State of the Union with this even fatter Josh Gad. Among speech watchers tonight, 64% say his policies will move the U.S. in the right direction. And look at the growth President Trump made over the speech. So pre-speech, it was 54 percent of speech watchers said his policies will move the U.S. in the right direction. After the speech, that number goes up 10 percentage points. So Donald Trump made some progress with people watching the speech from their pre-speech expectations to what they saw in the speech itself. And that 64 percent number, that's pretty much in range across all of his State of the Union addresses in his first term last year, the joint session that's about what we've seen is roughly two-thirds have walked away from his speeches thinking he's going to move it in the right direction but that's not what they were saying that was not what they were saying about the the speech or the direction of the country or what donald trump was going to be able to convince people of the 54 number prior 64 after is massive news right he killed it so i'm just distracted because no bookworm is on cnn oh yeah how do you get away from that oh my god hide your apples and then this brings us to so so now we know okay all right the left they're extremely unpopular and actually you know what let's just show a clip because let's say it's a head-to-head with vance or rubio versus gavin newsom oh good i always like more enton here's enton pointing out that newsom's popularity is is not doing that well it seems to me that gavin newsom is flailing a little bit at least compared to where he was prior. Because just take a look here. Okay. Chance Newsom is the 2028 Democrat nominee. Three months ago, according to the cash prediction market, look at that. It was a 37% chance. Now it's just a 28%. Down he goes. He's definitely flailing a little bit. And I will note, John, I will note that it also seems to me people are a little less interested in Gavin Newsom than they used to be. Look at this. Google searches for Gavin Newsom down 63% from the August peak. You remember back then it was when he started that social media, right? Going after president trump there was a lot of interest from democratic voters but maybe that interest is waning off just a little bit and of course you don't necessarily want to wane it off just yet because i think we still have a lot of time till the votes there is still some time to go he always throws a curveball to me no yes there is still some time to go i love the contrast between him and what is it john brennan uh there or john and maybe not brennan maybe uh boring john boring john boring exactly exactly everyone's boring next to and i know yeah he that guy's he's a That guy is a ball of energy. How could you not like it? He's like living flair. Yeah. Compared to the negative Nancys, the black pillars. And here's something I want you guys to watch. We always try and call balls and strikes. For example, I've told you I'm not impressed with Pam Bondi. I don't think she's done a good job. I think the handling of the Epstein binder was awful. I think the messaging has been terrible. I really didn't like when we saw Elon Musk and the administration, and certainly Vivek, echo the idea that we needed unlimited h1bs we spoke out against it caught some flack for that from some people there are plenty of things to dislike i get that when i'm talking about i think when people refer to black pillars it's important that you you look for a couple of things is the black pillars put uh president trump and honestly all conservatives in a no winning position where no matter what you do it's never enough and you cannot win you've heard the perfect is the enemy of the good with the black pillars it's anything other than perfect means you're a fraud that's very different from legitimate criticism the other thing is the black pillars don't offer any solutions they don't offer any solutions other than it's all lost and uh just don't show up to vote or what because we know the alternative in reality would have been in this case thank god it's not imagine living under kamala harris right now we all know the alternative in reality would be a as we know it right now newsom aoc kamala harris god forbid whitmer i still think they may try and trot her out from michigan that would be worst case scenario because she is a full-blown communist and a i'll just say it an evil person um so that brings us this next clip this is one that people are circulating around and i think that andrew schultz is funny um i think sometimes he's had some opinions that are well thought out. This is not one of them. Everything he campaigned on, I believe he wanted to do. And now he's doing the exact opposite thing of every single fucking thing. I don't know what he's done. Yeah, exactly to your point. If you tell me, it's easier for me to believe you wanted to do all these things if any of them were happening in the way that you said they would. To that point, there'll be people that'll DM me, you see what your boy's doing? You voted for this. So I'm like, I voted for none of this. He's doing the exact opposite of everything I voted for. Really? I want him to stop the wars. He's funding them. I want him to shrink spending, reduce the budget. He's increasing it. It's like everything that he said he's going to do except sending immigrants back. And now he's even flip-flopped on that. Has he flip-flopped on that? By the way, which new war are we funding? Do you mean the continued spending with the Ukrainian war that he inherited, which, by the way, has been scaled back and he's been actually going to great lengths to try and stop, including applying leverage with NATO, demanding that nations actually start footing the bill for their own defense. Do you mean that to the point that it's literally changed Canada's entire national security policy? What do you mean? You mean spending in the one big, beautiful bill? He's flip-flopped on immigration. And here's the thing. It's wrong, and I'll get to why it's wrong. But what are the alternatives? what solutions are being offered let's go to immigration when someone says he's doing the opposite of everything i voted for okay what i voted for in immigration secure border deportations you come up below is that what you were hoping for border crossings down 95 it's not 100 95 is pretty good it's almost the next best number behind 100 percent it's it's four five below it approximately it's an a plus yeah if you're grading it it's an a plus three million total deportations in the first year when you consider that 12 to 20 million illegals under four years of biden like that's significant is it enough no it's a good pace so three times four is 12 it's a good pace combined with 95 reduction in border crossings hey i think that's better than the alternative, which would have been open borders in perpetuity, because that's what we saw. Let's look at jobs. What were you voting for with jobs? I was voting for prioritizing the American worker, hopefully bringing people back into the workforce because our entire economy got screwed after COVID. Okay, native-born jobs under President Trump, up over a million. We've added a million. Foreign-born jobs, which skyrocketed under Biden, they're down 550,000. You saw the exact opposite with Biden. Same thing with private sector versus government growth. Under Biden, you saw a huge portion of government jobs go up. Huge number. You saw foreign-born jobs, H-1Bs go up dramatically, and growth stall or shrink in the private sector. When we look at President Trump, we've added 450,000 jobs in the private sector. Government minus 324,000 jobs. We've reduced it by that much. I believe it's the lowest since 1960, the amount of government employees. It's not perfect. Certainly a contrast. It is, at the very least, a 180. Here's Biden, Kamala, going this way. It's a 180. Are we at the end point? No, but we are traveling the exact opposite direction. That counts for something. if it doesn't count for enough then we need to know what the alternative solutions are fraud and abuse what did you vote for with fraud and abuse to root it out try and trim it let's look at snap 2.1 million people off of food stamps now because of requirements crazy stringent requirements like id checking in every few weeks and work requirements was it 40 hours a month 80 hours a month. 80 hours a month. It's a part-time job or charity or school. Right. 2.1 million people off of food stamps. Look at Somali fraud. Investigations by DOJ, FBI. Up to $18 billion in Minnesota alone. Not to mention the trimming that we've seen from Doge. Is it enough? No. Is it ideal? No. But we went from expanding, expanding, expanding, expanding to cutting down trimming if we continued on the path we would still be adding hundreds of thousands of government jobs likely in the irs to audit you more and take more of your money likely ministry of disinformation the department of disinformation to censor people more we certainly know it wouldn't be going to ice agents crime law and order that was a major platform of donald trump what were you hoping for as it related to crime well let's look violent crime is at its lowest since 1968 homicide itself is down 21 that's the lowest since 1900 cross the board assault and battery arson armed robbery carjacking is it perfect is it down to zero percent no but we saw crime going up consistently. And we could track that with the left's policies of catch and release, of cashless bail, of places, cities that said as long as it's under $999, you know, it's not really considered a crime anymore. It's a misdemeanor. We shifted policy. We reversed course a 180. It just comes down to how far are we on that path? But we're on that path. And in some cases, we're pretty far along down the trail. Inflation. 2.4 percent compared to biden where we were you know an average of five point peak of nine percent 9.1 average of 5.3 percent gas prices they're under three dollars a gallon down 40 percent from biden's 2022 high i don't call that nothing you guys can say this is cheerleading i'm just pointing out to you the changes and the degree of success that we've seen is it and it really comes down to is it enough and if it not enough do you prefer the alternative because that what you looking at And I want you to take that into consideration You absolutely should hold your representatives accountable You absolutely should call balls and strikes. But you can only do that if it's based in truth. And if you just blanket tell people, I didn't vote for any of it. I want to know, what was Andrew Schultz voting for then? if not reduction in crime if not reduction in inflation if not increases in jobs for american workers if not a 95 percent reduction in border crossings if not the lowest homicide rate since 1900 if not cutting the federal workforce what does he mean cut all spending immediately i mean i get some things that i would like to see but this is kind of what i voted for foreign policy retaking control of the western hemisphere stepping up to china captured maduro no casualties victed china from the panama canal that's a big deal tariffs are 20 higher on china than than a year ago biden was going soft on china after covet yeah which came from a wet market by the way that is that's a start talk about wards well donald trump is condemned if he captures is Maduro, right? That's a new war, apparently. It's a new war if, for example, we take out the uranium refining facilities in Iran that were past 60%, the same IAEA agencies, by the way, who said that there were no weapons of mass destruction or nuclear weapons in Iraq, so you can't try and use that one. So we took them out in the middle of the night, and our boys were back over the ocean before anyone woke up. Maduro's own people barely even resisted. But which war? So that's considered military intervention. But does Donald Trump get credit for diplomacy? Ending wars with Armenia, Azerbaijan, India, Pakistan, Cambodia, Thailand. There's so many. We've listed those many times before. So he doesn't get, well, that doesn't count. He just made a phone call. But he's a warmonger if he takes a dictator out with no American casualties. again seems to me that the trend is there's no winning for donald trump if he makes a phone call and ends a war that doesn't count if he unseats a dictator in in a mission that is frankly as non-violent as humanly possible they act like he's george w bush okay then what's the proposed alternative solution oh don't vote we'd be better off with kamala harris i don't think so social policy this is a this is one that i voted for two genders maybe it's because i'm closer to it but i was the first one to say there are two genders change my mind you know to ask people what is a woman what is a man what is a male what is a female and i was banned on campuses by professors by the way and slandered in major newspapers for that stance now it's a matter of official government policy i know you'll say it could be undone executive order sure but it certainly is better than the alternative men out of women's sports and to all federal dei programs dei is out of the military which has resulted in all five branches seeing a recruiting average of 103% of their stated goal. It's the highest recruitment that we've seen in 15 years, which maybe I'm too close to it. I was telling you guys for years, you know, stretching maternity suits for surrogate lesbians in the Air Force, that's actually not going to boost morale. I think you want that redneck with dip in his lip who's going to be shooting a deer that weekend anyway, just swap out his hunting rifle for an M4. and the elk with the terrorists. Well, guess what? Turns out they finally heard someone and now we have Americans who love America joining the military again. Nothing. I didn't vote for any of this, says the Black Pillars. Well, then what did you vote for? I'm very curious. What did someone who voted for Trump who was disappointed, like you don't have a stomach for deportations? Did you vote for him and think he wouldn't deport anybody? Right. did you vote for him and think he wouldn't slash the federal workforce did you vote for him and you were disappointed when he required you know he has work requirements for food stamps for for ebt did you vote for him and you're you're you're disappointed that he said there are only two genders he's not going to allow men to compete in women's sports did you vote for him and you're disappointed that he ended dei across the federal government that do you mean disappointment that he hasn't done enough or and this is what i'm it's hard because when someone says i voted for the opposite of this then i'm going to take you at your word and say so you wanted men competing in women's sports you wanted the limitless number of genders you wanted the illegal border crossings to continue at least 95 of them you don't want the deportations because if you say you voted for the opposite of everything that's you voted for the cost of eggs to stay up gas to be five dollars a gallon right is that what you mean because i can offer some criticism i can tell you what needs what i think should be done i'd like to see i would like to see president trump do a little bit more with the courts i mean you've got two judges you got thomas you got alito they're both 75 77 respectively it'd be good if this president could get them to step down and replace them with equally conservative younger justices frankly if you could get a hardline gen z christian nationalist in there That'd be fun. I'd like to see some more, you know, manufacturing jobs here. We just added 5,000, I think, in January. That's the first positive in 13 months. We need to see some more growth. As far as energy, I know that gas prices are low, but natural gas prices are really high. And as a result, energy bills are up. Now, there's a good reason for that. It's because we're also exporting a lot of our natural gas. while there's a delay in being able to create the infrastructure, the manufacturing equipment so that we can access more of it. That's a huge component of energy, by the way, that people are ignoring. Like we need municipal, we need federal solutions, but also residential, individual, personal. There are a lot of people who basically have natural gas that's just seeping in their yard and it could be used, it could be harnessed and it could be far more affordable. it's hard to do because energy policies take a while to reverse but we're a net energy exporter for one of the first times in american history i think that happened during his first term i'd like to see more done with natural gas i definitely think the messaging has been bad with uh with epstein yeah and the binder and i think that pam bondi needs to go there are absolutely some changes that i would like to see but to say that i voted for the exact opposite of what I'm getting? It's kind of like saying, man, Charlie Kirk was a huge influence on me and I really want to honor him by attacking his widow. I thought you were going to say something like have an abortion. Right, exactly. But no, no, you went with the fact. No, that's 100% true. Just for everybody, we know that this video is from last summer of Andrew Schultz. Yeah, I know. It's just recirculating. Blacks are recirculating it right now as though all of what he is saying is still true right after all of the results that we just went through i guess when they say no new wars you guys let me know and we'll take your chats of course maybe they mean um they're expecting when president trump is he becomes president that there are no threats that exist in the world anymore like i think they they want the they want president trump to just let the world just do whatever it wants to do right yeah but i mean they also but still put boots on the ground in in ukraine and russia but other than and also in gaza yeah but other than that yeah well that's the left they want ukraine these people i guess they're saying he hasn't ended the war between russia and ukraine okay fine okay yeah sure but has he tried to scale it back and as he pulled the levers has he pulled every lever that by the way let me ask you this the alternative biden okay neither one has put boots on the ground but it was going to be a never-ending blank check under Biden and you know, you know, Harris, former Vice President Biden and of course, Kamala Harris. All right. Did they go to NATO and say you guys are on your own until you start meeting your 2%? As a matter of fact, that number needs to be 5% now and other nations immediately begin meeting it. No, because Kamala Harris admitted that she hadn't been to Europe. That's true. She's she's right. Yeah. Yeah. The alternative. I mean, we're still, can anyone argue on like the big issue, the two big issues in this election, immigration, the economy? Can anyone actually argue that they're the same? There's no difference on immigration. On immigration, Donald Trump, Joe Biden, Donald Trump or Kamala Harris. You guys want to argue that, well, you know what? It's just best to rip off the bandaid and have Kamala Harris as president because then we wouldn't be disappointed. You realize there would be no nation left, right? You realize that. You would be under the rule of communists for the rest of America's history. It would be a managed decline through communism because they would immediately grant citizenship, voting rights to 12 to 20 million. That number would have been 30 million by the end of this term. I guarantee you there would be no coming back from it. But you want to chance it in the midterms because 95% isn't as much as 100? what wars are we in and even then does that mean that he's the same as everyone else like let's say that iran gets back to trying to refine their uranium does that mean that he's a warmonger according to them absolutely this really does come down to the jews if if the israel gaza thing isn't happening right now and the israel iran thing isn't happening or the gaza thing was happening you probably don't hear from these people dave smith this is this is when he comes out to talk about this and he knows a lot about that so i understand why he has an opinion on it but outside of this i don't think the black pillars are talking very much about this at all they're not they're not there i've heard people literally say you know trump promised you a false bill of goods he hasn't done anything on immigration he hasn't done anything on the economy or inflation grocery bills are up he hasn't done anything as far as ending foreign conflicts he hasn't done anything with they just literally list the things where you've seen a 180 as far as direction of this country and they just say nothing has happened and offer no alternatives let me ask you this just on housing has enough been done no mortgage rates down to about 60 uh six percent sorry that's significant hey anyone else propose banning institutional investors from buying single family homes on that too interest rates are down i think from biden i think maybe like one percent which is significant uh but he has been trying harder uh who's the guy uh the guy who tried to affect jerome powell yeah i think it's over two percent now josh i think it was in the eight maybe even closer to nine and it's down to about six right now so two to three percent down yeah which is great yeah it's great but uh then you know you said well if it's not good enough well there's also the fact that he's been trying and unfortunately failing because it's out of his complete control yeah but he's been trying that too and let me just let me put this so let me put this in context and then i want to play the little caesars thing again because it's fun we're going to go to uh we're going to go to uh to rumble premium mug club by the way if you are not a member click that button it's what allows us to do everything that you see including investigative journalism including what i will be doing monday that i can't tell you about but i won't be here for a show but i'm hoping we will be having a show you will be having a show but i won't be here but it's going to be real but you can't say well i don't want to oversell it but it's gonna be really cool for me and if it turns out the way that i hope it turns out it's gonna be really cool but i'm only able to do it because of your support that nine dollars a year hand etched wonderful mug or try it for nine dollars a month get 100 more show um okay black pillars the doomsdayers the negative nancy saying who will you vote for what did you get you got nothing it's the same on immigration the economy is the same and uh you know it's the same same just another side of the same coin as far as foreign policy what's happened with epstein all right let's just assume that very little has happened with epstein i'll grant you that uh we don't obviously don't know the whole story i of course don't believe that epstein killed himself but i also think that people take some of the absence of data and extrapolate and make demands that could not be met cnn's talking about it now this would have never happened without whatever whatever the last year's events yeah hillary clinton testifying the epstein probe so let's say that Epstein is a wash it was handled badly I'll give you that I agree let's say that Donald Trump has not completely been an isolationist because of Maduro and because of Iran okay all right I'll grant you that they say nothing's been done on immigration on the economy I go well okay hold on a second actually a 95% I voted for President Strong on immigration on the economy and to change the cultural direction of our country. And I was facing another president who believes that children can transition, parents should lose the rights to their children if they don't allow them to transition, abortion all the way up until an including birth taxpayer-funded period, no voter ID whatsoever, change to the census rule, no deportations, and regulations that led to record-high inflation. Okay, that's what I was looking at, and I go, well, nothing? Hold on, we have a 95% reduction in border crossings, We have 3 million deportations. We've actually been adding native-born American jobs for the first time in four years, while we're actually cutting down on H-1Bs, and we're actually getting rid of foreign-born jobs, giving those to Americans who are willing to fill those spots. We've seen growth in the private sector. We've seen shrinking in the government sector. We've seen lifetime low crime rates across the country, certainly as it relates to violent crime. We have requirements for entitlement programs. We haven't completely eliminated them, but we have requirements that the Democrats vehemently fought against with SNAP. We have a movement right now where we're likely going to require voter ID, thereby preserving our elections for decades to come. And inflation is at a much more reasonable number. And the price of eggs. And the price of milk. I'm not getting nothing out of that. And certainly not enough disappointment to stay home and not vote. Which direction do you think is better for the country? and what do you think is your duty if you want to preserve a country this is the question to black pillars and to people following them do you have children you have a binary choice let's say it's there's three stay home and do nothing that's a vote for kamala newsom whoever it is democrats in the midterms or the direction that we are going out this has all taken place in one year you say make america great again i want my children to grow up in america that i recognize then what is your duty is your duty to act on your emotions because you're disappointed and many of us are rightfully so or is your duty to understand that the perfect is the enemy of the good and even more importantly there is a feedback mechanism that only this president and this administration cares about they listen and adapt the democrats you saw for four years under biden eight years under what you think what you need what your community requires to thrive what your family unit should look like they don't care you were a serf so what is your duty as an american to have a pity party or to do something about it and is doing something about it, staying home, doing nothing, or simply going back to voting Democrat, as many of these black pillars did for their entire lives until they saw a niche market. Let's roll the little Caesars clip again, because I love seeing an aggressive man deservedly knocked out. And then we're going to go to chat. I just, this warms my heart. Bye.
