CNN Town Hall Fake News

Talking all things CNN “scripted questions”, angry British cows, Falcon 9, angry feminists and pizza pranks. Nigel Farage stops in to talk Trump in the European Union and Russell Brand run-ins, and Stefan Molyneux swings by to discuss CNN Gun Town Hall, kids in politics and more. It’s Louder with Crowder.

Science Now Discriminatory

The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) has determined that Google did not violate federal labor law when it fired engineer James Damore in August 2017. Damore had already dropped the NLRB complaint to focus on his class action lawsuit against Google for “allegedly” discriminating against white, male, and conservative employees. Stefan Molyneux breaks down the National Labor Relations Board’s absurdly anti-science response and the dangerous precedent that it sets moving forward.

Florida School Schooting

On Wednesday February 14th, 2018 at approximately 2:30pm, 19-year-old Nikolas Cruz opened fire at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida, killing 17 people and wounding thirteen survivors – including two people who remain in critical condition.

The suspect was reportedly armed with an AR-15 style rifle, “countless magazines” of ammunition, a gas mask and even smoke grenades – as he set off a fire alarm and brought students out from their classrooms and into the school hallways prior to the shooting.

Cruz was apprehended on Wednesday and charged on Thursday with 17 counts of premeditated murder in the third-deadliest school shooting in American history. More from Stefan Molyneux.

Obama Racism Scandal

On February 12th, the National Portrait Gallery unveiled separate official portraits of President Barack Obama and ex-first lady Michelle Obama. Former President Obama choose controversial artist Kehinde Wiley create his official portrait and while the quality of the artwork was widely mocked, the artist’s previous work raised significant alarm. Wiley has previously created several renditions of the “Book of Judith” Biblical story depicting Judith beheading the Assyrian general Holofernes. In Wiley’s rendition, Judith was transformed from a Jewish woman into a black woman, and Holofernes is changed from a man into a white woman. Given the clear racial overtones – why did President Obama choose this specific artist? Stefan Molyneux speculates.

Oh, It Requires Intelligence!

Ever wonder why all of the late-night TV talk show hosts, from the smarmy Stephen Colbert to the smug Jimmy Kimmel, are all card-carrying Liberal assholes? Kimmel, the ABC Late Night Talk Show Host, says that’s because the occupation requires intelligence.

The bloated huckster explains, “You can be honest and you can talk about these things…It also just so happens that pretty much every late night talk show is a liberal. And that’s because it requires a measure of intelligence. Not a ton! Not a tremendous amount of intelligence, but you do have to be over the baseline.” Stefan Molyneux finds that entertaining, to say the least.

Late night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel joined the progressive “Pod Save America” podcast on Saturday to talk about the week’s headlines, along with the state of late night talk shows. Kimmel didn’t hold back on what he truly thinks of anyone not labeled a “liberal.” “It just so happens that almost every talk show host is a liberal and that’s because it requires a level of intelligence,” Kimmel said.

MRCTV’s Nick Kangadis points out that Kimmel shouldn’t be the one judging anyone’s level of intelligence.

Stock Market Crisis

On Friday, February 2nd, 2018, Janet Yellen served her last day as Chair of the United States Federal Reserve, with Jerome Powell set to be sworn in as her replacement on Monday, February 5th, 2017. Under Yellen’s leadership, the Federal Reserve had planned three interest rate hikes in 2018 – decisions that would have a major impact on the world economy and the immediate future of the United States.

It didn’t take long for now-former Federal Reserve Chair Janet Yellen to speak publicly, and on Sunday February 4th, 2018, she commented on the current value of the stock market: “Well, I don’t want to say too high. But I do want to say high. Price-earnings ratios are near the high end of their historical ranges. If you look at commercial real estate prices, they are quite high relative to rents. Now, is that a bubble or is too high? And there it’s very hard to tell. But it is a source of some concern that asset valuations are so high.”

As new Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell was sworn in on Monday February 5th, 2018, the Dow Jones Industrial Average fell by almost 1,600 – about 6% – before recovering with a total decline of 1,179 points by the end of the day. All major indexes felt losses with the Nasdaq Composite falling by 3.8%, the S&P 500 decreased by 4% and the broad Russell 2000 dropped by 2.9%.

The uncertainly over future monetary policy decisions by incoming Federal Reserve decision makers (three vacancies at the Fed have yet to be filled by President Trump’s administration) and Yellen’s outgoing commentary unquestionably influenced the recent market drop – but the full story is far more complicated.

The Truth About FISA Memo

On January 29th, 2018, the House Intelligence Committee voted to release the document detailing surveillance abuses by the FBI and DOJ, leading to outrage from the political establishment, mainstream media and the intelligence community who clearly prefer to operate in secrecy.

The document – or memo – on the subject of “Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act Abuses at the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation” was sent to HSPCI Majority Members by HPSCI Majority Staff on January 18th, 2018. The document was declassified and released by order of President Donald Trump on February 2nd, 2018.

Among the individuals and laws addressed here by Stefan Molyneux are former FBI Director James Comey, former FBI Deputy Director Andrew McCabe, Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein, Hillary Clinton, Sally Yates, Carter Page, Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act Abuses, Rep. Adam Schiff, John Podesta, Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Robert Mueller, former Associate Deputy Attorney General Bruce Ohr, Michael Isikoff, David Corn, Fusion GPS, Perkins Coie and the Christopher Steele dossier.

Memo Damage Control

On January 29th, 2018, the House Intelligence Committee voted to release the document detailing surveillance abuses by the FBI and DOJ, leading to outrage from the political establishment, mainstream media and the intelligence community who clearly prefer to operate in secrecy.

The document – or memo – on the subject of “Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act Abuses at the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation” was sent to HSPCI Majority Members by HPSCI Majority Staff on January 18th, 2018. The document was declassified by order of President Donald Trump on February 2nd, 2018. Stefan Molyneux discusses the news.

And here, Molyneux breaks down the manipulative framing and sophistic tricks the mainstream media used to dismiss “the memo” prior to its release. The mainstream media is no longer the vanguard for a free press in America. Few are credible or honest in their reporting.

Most are just CIA mouthpieces, for instance, the Washington Post, whose owner, Jeff Bezos, did not turn a profit on his businesses (including Amazon) until 2013 — the year he negotiated a $600 million deal to do cloud computing services for the CIA.

 

The State of the Union

On Tuesday, President Donald Trump gave his State Of The Union Address before a sea of cheering Republicans and resentful sour-faced Democrat politicians who were visibly disgruntled over the record low black unemployment rate. Stefan Molyneux reports.

An “instant” poll of viewers who watched President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address on Tuesday night found that 75% approved of the speech, while only 25% disapproved — a 50-point margin in the president’s favor. We didn’t need the poll, Sparky. He rocked the room. Lionel Nation shares his response.

Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, reacts to the speech, and shares some harsh words for the Democrats, who never applauded or looked up to acknowledge the President. Bunch of anti-American political hacks, no doubt about it.

The dour Democrats drooled and scowled, even reacting negatively to the most positive news — like black unemployment hitting all-time record lows. Yes, the Democrats are sharp tacks!

Also, Trump did not release the House FISA memo or address it in his talk but could be overheard telling a guest afterwards that he plans to release the document. Our guess: He will not release the text Wednesday either, allowing time for folks to focus on the State of the Union. But come Thursday, don’t be surprised to see the memo made available for the public. (EDITOR’S NOTE: Martha MacCallum of Fox Nows is now reporting the memo will be released Thursday. So, looks like we’re on target!)

Here, US Rep. Doug Collins, R-Ga., joins Trish Regan on Fox Business to advocate for the release the FISA memo to the public and refute Democrat objections to its release.

Trump Amnesty Fears

President Donald Trump’s latest immigration proposal calls for a pathway to citizenship for 1.8 million illegal immigrants, $25 billion in funding for the wall and an end to both chain migration and the visa lottery program. While many Trump supporters are incredibly angry with the President’s amnesty proposal, a surprising number of Democrats and illegal alien amnesty groups also have rejected the deal.

Greisa Martinez Rosas, Advocacy Director for United We Dream and potential beneficiary of the Dream Act, said: “Let’s call this proposal for what it is: a white supremacist ransom note. Trump and Stephen Miller killed DACA and created the crisis that immigrant youth are facing. They have taken immigrant youth hostage, pitting us against our own parents, Black immigrants and our communities in exchange for our dignity. To Miller and Trump’s white supremacist proposal, immigrant youth say: No.” Stefan Molyneux has more.
