The Chris Cuomo Project - America's "6-7" Moment: January 6 and Renee Good

Episode Date: January 15, 2026

Chris Cuomo breaks down how the viral “6–7” trend isn’t just internet nonsense, but a symptom of something deeper — a growing rejection of certainty, authority, and good-faith interpretation... in American life. What starts as shorthand for “this means nothing” becomes a way to dismiss facts, accountability, and moral clarity in a country still grappling with January 6.Cuomo connects that mindset to two moments that continue to haunt the national conscience: the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol and the January 7, 2026 killing of Renee Good during an ICE encounter. He argues the danger isn’t only what happened, but how people justify it afterward — condemning violence on one side while explaining it away on the other. In a culture driven by outrage, tribal loyalty, and profit, “6–7” reflects how quickly moral lines collapse when nothing is taken seriously anymore.

Starting point is 00:00:00 Six, seven, makes you nuts, right? Hold on. One, do you know where it comes from? Do you know why they're saying it? But more importantly, do you know that it could be about to take on a whole new meaning in our politics? I'll explain. I'm Chris Cuomo. Welcome to the Chris Cuomo Project. Six, seven, so annoying, brain rot, doom scrolling, proof our kids are decaying from the inside out. Yes, yes, yes. I've seen it all in my house and online. First, the easy part. Where does it come from? Some stupid rap song where they're talking about a basketball player and that's his height. Well, how did it become a thing? Well, who knows? But what it's supposed to mean to them and what I believe it may become in our politics much, much more interesting. First is, why are they doing this? Well, they're doing it to screw with you. It's an empowerment mechanism. The joke's on you. Okay, you ask any
Starting point is 00:01:09 question and they answer 6-7 with their hands up and down. Now, this part is more telling than 6-7. Why? Six-seven is, again, just happenstance. The hand movement that goes with it is kind of a way of saying, I'm not sure. I'm not sure. So there's a basically just messing with you principle here. But then there's something deeper that you see when you start looking into how young people are using this and how often and what situations and what it reveals. And taking the time, because I am a critical thinker, which is why I sell the shirts, because we got to get back into this instead of just accepting, oh, it's just kids being kids. It is part of a rejection principle.
Starting point is 00:01:57 These kids are growing up with something that we never had to deal with in Gen X, all right? Our parents were afraid of TV, Atari, okay? Smartphones are like the atomic version of a firecracker, all right? And they have so much misinformation and this matters and this is urgent and don't scroll past this and just watch. Everything means something. Everything's important. Everything is checking something else.
Starting point is 00:02:28 All the content matters. They have to have content all the time. all the time. They know they're drowning in it. You can't watch a movie with your kid without them being on the phone at the same time when you're like, hey, do you not like the movie? They're like, yeah, it's just nothing's happening right now. Everything is about constant stimulation. So much so that 6-7 philosophically has a meaning, which is it just means nothing. It means nothing in a world where everything is certain, everything has certainty attached to it. Are you sure about that?
Starting point is 00:03:03 100%. And people are full of it half the time, right? It means nothing. It's my way of saying, yeah, yeah, I know. You think everything means everything? This means nothing. And there's something interesting and rebellious about that. And that is something to think about.
Starting point is 00:03:25 Now I see it totally different than I used to. That was the easy part. Now here comes the heavy lift. six, seven, not this part, not the six, seven, the intonation is part of the middle finger. The hands is the equivocation. The numbers, though, I believe are going to take on new meaning in our politics. Why? Because as a catchphrase, six and seven can carry a lot of power for a lot of people when
Starting point is 00:04:01 put into the following context, January 6th and January 7th. Now, I'll tell you, for a while, I was thinking about October 7th, but no, for America's political purposes, January 6 and January 7 could become the new echo effect of rejection of this administration and the status quo in favor of something better. Why? January 6th. The attack on the Capitol was outwardly the most disturbing public display that didn't involve an overt attempt to kill somebody. That, I mean, literally like a shot in the head. Now, somebody did get shot and killed in January 6th. We all know the story of Ashley Babbitt, but we've never seen that in the modern era. I didn't grow up. I didn't grow up. up during the 50s and 60s. I have never seen people storm the U.S. Capitol before. And you could say,
Starting point is 00:05:11 oh, that's not what they did. You're bullshit and you're applying a gentility to it, a gentleness, because it suits your politics. I'm not doing that. What we saw that day was fucking horrifying, okay? Was it an insurrection? Originally, I said, yes, why? Because they're running into the Capitol to stop Congress from doing its job. That's trying to overthrow the government. No, with the benefit of more context and how people will lured in and the proud boys and the organizers and the messaging and everything else, why did prosecutors choose not to charge people with insurrection? Because they sought as more a riot, right, with political motivations, but not an overt attempt to actually take over the government. Okay. I agree with that. I don't think it's as emotionally
Starting point is 00:06:03 satisfying, but you can't think about everything that way. If you're talking about the law, then you've got to be intellectual about it, not just emotional about it. So, no, I don't think it was an insurrection because the prosecution was right. And that's why they didn't charge anybody with that. They charged them with plenty of other things and put people away and then Trump pardoned all of them, which I think was a huge mistake. But that's politics. Within the law, they chose not to charge with insurrection. So therefore, I accept their calculation, their analysis, that it was not an insurrection. Okay, well, what was it? Well, it was definitely rebelling against the campaign. It was a lot of bad things. So why does it matter now? People are over it. No, they're not. The right is over it.
Starting point is 00:06:48 The people who want to defend MAGA are over it. They're sick of hearing it. And that's why, instead of just owning it, those people were terrible. What they did was terrible. He shouldn't have pardoned anybody. The sentences are what they are. Fuck around and find out, right? They don't apply that to that. No FAAFO to January 6th, right?
Starting point is 00:07:11 But FAAFO to a young mother who gets shot in the head multiple times for blocking the road with her car and trying to drive away and hitting a cop while she does it. She didn't run them over. She didn't knock him down. He was able to film the whole thing with his free hand. Why did he even have his gun out? I don't know. But we're not going to get to any of those questions.
Starting point is 00:07:33 Why? Because you're looking at it through the lens of six, seven. Meaning everything just means what you wanted to mean in that moment. January 6th, 6th, 6th, 7. Oh, they were really just protesters. I mean, it was really just really criminal mischief. I mean, let's be honest. They went too far, sure, sure.
Starting point is 00:07:51 But it wasn't any of that. No, no, they just took a shit on Pelosi's death. They were just trying to hunt down members of Congress. They were just looking for Mike Pence, and some of them wanted to string him up. Oh, but that was never going to happen. Oh, and you know that, right? That's why they tried to crush that cop, right, when he wouldn't let them into where they thought Congress was, right? That's how Ashley Babbitt got killed, right?
Starting point is 00:08:13 But she's a hero, right? January 6th is not over, and it's going to matter to people when they are measuring what they think a particular politician is about. Support comes from Cozy Earth. I mean, what else do you need to know? I got it on my bed. I wear this stuff. Why?
Starting point is 00:08:35 Because they do good and they do well. Meaning what? Cozy Earth has good products. I like the sheets. The more you wash them, the softer they seem to get, haven't torn, good stuff. But what I really care about,
Starting point is 00:08:52 because let's be honest, I don't really give it to him about my sheets, right? But I do like, and I do care about buying things from responsible companies. I just do. And their use of viscous bamboo, which is so easy to plant anywhere and doesn't deforest the same way and helps the environment matters to me. It just does. I will tell you this.
Starting point is 00:09:15 Whatever they're doing, they're doing in a way that makes things very comfortable and wash well. I have the bedding. I have the sleep shirt. I even have a pair of sleep sweats that for whatever reason my daughters took. And then I thought I lost them. So I got another pair and they took those two. And now I realize it's not what it is. So they have a whole range of stuff.
Starting point is 00:09:35 You got the pajamas. You got the bedding. You have the bath towels. They even have lounge wear now. Here's another thing that I like. Confidence in this corporation. They give you a 100-night sleep trial. Think about this.
Starting point is 00:09:49 You get 100 nights. If you don't like what you buy from them after 100 nights, you get to return it hassle-free. I mean, how do you lose? They have a 10-year warranty on their products because they believe it's going to hold up and you're going to love it.

Now, if you get a post-purchase survey, please show the love and say Cuomo sent me.
Starting point is 00:10:40 The 7th. January 7th, what happened in Minnesota may be a turning point. point. Why? Because as with January 6th, you can't look at it and not believe that it shocks the conscience. It's just wrong. Things aren't supposed to happen that way. Yeah, but she shouldn't have driven away. 100% she shouldn't have driven away. Now, ask yourself this question. If this were to happen again and someone were in a car blocking a roadway and saw police officers walking towards them, telling them to get out and having their guns drawn, is there a chance that someone is now more likely to try to drive away? Why? Because the last lady got shot in the head for not listening to the cops. All right, so just listen to the cops. But maybe you're afraid that they're going to
Starting point is 00:11:48 shoot you in the head no matter what? Well, that's irrational. People are often irrational when they're afraid. And I think that cop who shot and killed her was afraid. Was it reasonable? I don't know. He'd been dragged 100 yards before. I don't think it was reasonable based on what he was getting from her. She told him, I'm not mad at you. She was smiling right at him. It's her wife who was bringing the attitude, not the lady in the car. She had a dog in the back seat. She's this crazy zealot, Antifa. She has a dog in the back seat. She's got gifts for her kids, her three kids in the cars. You think she's a domestic terrorist and Ashley Babette is a hero? See, that's why at 6'7, Ashley Babette, hero. René Good, zero. Domestic terrorist. Are you fucking kidding me?
Starting point is 00:12:45 No. Uh-uh. This has a connection. It has a pathology that I think is going to matter in the midterms. Because let me tell you something. The left didn't want to admit it. But there was a cultural undercurrent of these people seem a little wacky with all that there's no gender thing and this and that and the canceling and this and everything's too far. It's too much.
Starting point is 00:13:12 There's something a little weird about them. They've gone too far. same thing. You really don't think running into the Capitol and breaking everything and hurting police officers and trying to crush that guy and find Congress and stuff? You don't think that was too much? You don't think that's like crazy, outrageous behavior? Really? You think it's okay that a cop shot a woman in the head because the car bumped into him? Really? He was able to hold his camera up the whole time? The president says he was run over. You don't think that makes him a little off? Where does he get run over from? The guy's like this the whole time, he walks away. He calls her a
Starting point is 00:13:55 fucking bitch afterwards. Doesn't sound too regretful, right? Doesn't sound like he had to do it. It sounds like he wanted to do it. Now, the cop shooting and killing the woman is not why the seven is empowered within the six, seven. It's how it was responded to that makes it something that I believe is going to leave a mark, leave a stain. It's going to remain for people.
Starting point is 00:14:37 To be so quick to condemn her because, boy, did she fit the can't archetype of the bad shit lefty, right? If you want to subscribe to that bullshit caricature, that stereotype, wow, the she marked the colored hair, lesbian, white, apparently a little Zoftig, you know, all these things that are like little BS markers for people and trying to demonize a type. She checked all of them. Her wife is out there.
Starting point is 00:15:13 there. Right? But man, does that lead you to the wrong place? Oh, come on. She was blocking traffic. That gets the death penalty. Six, seven. Imagine if the cops had just started mowing down people on January 6th. Imagine if all the people on January 6 who were Russian in there had been black and Latino. What do you think would have happened then? How do you think people on? on the right would be regarding it then. Oh, the hypocrisy, right? Smells fresh like new manure. Why? Because that's what it is. That's why it leaves it mark because it's so disgusting. It's so obvious. What about the BLM riots? They were destroying the stores in their own communities. What empowers that kind of cognitive dissonance? Oh, well, you're
Starting point is 00:16:13 You said protests are supposed to be violent. The fuck I did. Okay, go back and look at the full context of what I said. You don't think I know that a protest isn't supposed to include violence? Well, you said, whoever said a protest is supposed to be peaceful. I meant in terms of the language being used. The context was, oh, come on, these people are yelling all these things, spitting these ugly insults right in the face of the cops.
Starting point is 00:16:42 What do they think? Of course they should get slapped around. And I said, what do you think? They're supposed to just be sing and slave hymns and then go home after George Floyd? Not supposed to be angry? That's what it is. Is a pressure release valve? That's what getting to the streets and being outraged is about as a democratic mechanism. A way for people to voice their anger, they're disgust, their outrage. That was my point. I have said a hundred times on television. You know, the moment that a protester touches person or property, they become what they say they oppose, which is injustice.
Starting point is 00:17:22 They become a criminal. And a protest becomes a riot once it includes violence. I've said it a hundred times. So why are you playing gotcha? Because that's the effing game. Six, seven, that's where the power comes. from, that you just weaponize understandings, and I'm telling you, six, seven could become one. Not because of the kids, not because of how they mean it, but because of how someone else
Starting point is 00:17:49 could use it, January 6th and January 7th. That is a campaign in and of itself. I reject leadership that makes that okay and pardons people for doing it and spends a lot of time trying to convince me that it wasn't. Tucker Carlson, who just shows up at the White House, When you believe that he's out in anti-Trump, you think it's an accident that he showed up at the White House for a meeting with oil execs? Don't you understand that this guy, Candice Owens, Megan Kelly,
Starting point is 00:18:24 they pick their spots for advantage in the moment. They're playing you like a fucking fiddle. Don't you get it? He doesn't have to mean it. It's not an embedded thing attacked by a demon. This is what gets the clicks. This is Alex Jones. It's a template.
Starting point is 00:18:43 And you know this, because when Alex Jones was going to pay a price for the perfidy, what did his lawyer say? He's playing a character. What did Tucker Carlson's lawyer say in court? He is not to be taken seriously. What else do you need to fucking know? You just don't apply the test because you like what he's saying. Oh, well, you went on TV with him. Why?
Starting point is 00:19:07 For him to admit to his audience and mind, that he was a dick to me when he was at Fox on purpose. And he admitted it. And I respect that. Now, do I respect why he does what he does? No. But listen, I can't just hate the player. I got to hate the game.
Starting point is 00:19:24 And there's so many people doing the same thing. They're picking their spots just for the outrage. It's not about principle. It's about positioning in the moment. It's about profitability. Why do you think he was at the oil meeting? because he's not anti-Trump. He's just saying that.
Starting point is 00:19:43 He's just saying it. That's why he was included. That's why Megan will be back. That's why they'll all be there. Because at the end of the day, you've got to pick aside to make money here. And that's why 6-7 may loom large because it's too big to just get written off
Starting point is 00:20:01 as another aspect of the game. Too many people got hurt. It was too violent. It was too ugly, January 6th. January 6th. seventh same way it's too ugly young mom white right i mean you know i mean usually we see something like that it's a minority right where a cop just seems to go as bad as they could go justifiably under the situation if justifiable at all doesn't usually happen to white people not in the way that we
Starting point is 00:20:31 pick up on in the media yet there she is checks every box of being white and still They go right after, the cops totally justified. Bill Ackman, talk about someone desperate for approval. What are you doing to go fund me for this guy for? Look at his reasoning. It makes even less sense than just asking the question with no answer. Well, you know, this was a rush to judgment, and now he's being weaponized and he has rights,
Starting point is 00:21:00 and he's got a union. They're going to pay for his legal bills. What are you doing? He's trying to get approval because he's been getting his, ass kicked over other positions he took. Because he doesn't have the stomach for it. Because he's not a real one. He wants this to work for his advantage.
Starting point is 00:21:19 Six, seven, is a rejection of all that bullshit. For people who focus on these two events, no, you don't shoot someone in the head multiple times because they block traffic and started driving away from you. And you understood that they were driving away from you enough to get. out of the way of the car and yet still had to shoot them in the head? Even if you thought she was trying to hit you, you knew you were able to get out of the way because you were filming it at the same time as you got out of the way. So how reasonable and imminent did you think your serious injury or death could be if you were
Starting point is 00:22:01 able to get out of the way? For people who ignore all that in the interest of politics, saying he got run over an obvious, bald-faced lie for politics, for advantage so that you could keep saying the other side is worse. It's too much. Support for the Chris Cuomo project comes from ethos life insurance. Look, as soon as you get into the baby game, as soon as you go from being a couple to a family, you got to think about your responsibilities. And if you're thinking about your responsibilities, you've got to think about life insurance. It's just how it is. All right, you start thinking ahead, child care, school, you know, all those different milestones.
Starting point is 00:22:44 Every one of them have a financial responsibility component, all right? And we all love our kids. We all love that family life, but you got to be equipped for it, and you got to prepare when you can. That's why you got to make sure that you have life insurance that works for you, and that's why I'm telling you about ethos, okay? After watching someone close to me, go through loss, after seeing, loss in my own family. I know how important insurance is. And I've seen the difference between an estate that is showing how much need there's going to be and an estate that is shown to be
Starting point is 00:23:23 done the right way and the comfort that that gives the people who are left behind. So ethos does life insurance the right way. Okay. It's not about, oh, I don't want to get it because that means bad things are going to happen. No, that's silly. It's you have the proper amount of life insurance so that, God forbid, something bad happens, you don't have to worry about it. That's why I recommend insurance through ethos.

So get in there and find out for yourself. And it seems that with both the six and the seven events, people would rather have more of the same than give up any advantage over the other side. Yes, both of these events are bad for the right. Well, then why aren't you picking one from each side?
Starting point is 00:25:04 Because I haven't said, look, first of all, let me be very honest. I don't believe that the Black Lives Matter related riots, not that the BLM organization was part of them or not part of them. It's not my point. I don't believe it's the same thing of January 6th. I don't. I've seen lots of riots based off of racial outrage. I've seen many. I've seen many stores destroyed.
Starting point is 00:25:29 I've seen many public buildings destroyed. Is it wrong? Of course it's wrong. It's a crime. Prosecuted. Hard in that moment. Why? Because except with ice, we don't flood cops.
Starting point is 00:25:38 into zones where people are losing their shit because we want it to calm down. Because we don't want to make it worse. Now, suddenly, we want to make it worse. We want to make it worse. Why? Because in a world of six, seven, everything means nothing,
Starting point is 00:25:56 except the meaning that you ascribe to it. And sure, a priori, you could argue if you're a philosopher, everything only means what you wanted to mean. True. But I'm saying this to a perverse extent where things are obvious on their face and you are just insisting on it being something else or being not that thing
Starting point is 00:26:15 because it suits your convenience in that moment. And I think that it is so outrageous. I think it is so ugly and so obvious that as a coupling, what happened on January 6th and now on January 7th is enough to win an election. It's enough. When you combine that with the status
Starting point is 00:26:37 quo in an economy where our purchasing power is falling and people are feeling it more and more and the administration is dealing with it less and less in favor of what all the stuff they said they weren't going to do like what like round up everyone that they can find like go to any other country they can find to be involved in for good reason or bad reason i thought it was supposed to stay home why aren't they staying home you know why it's It's not the exigency of the circumstances abroad. There's always bad shit going on. Why?
Starting point is 00:27:13 Because he can't get it done here at home. And he's looking for wins. He's looking for distractions. Six, seven, I'm telling you, what happened in Minnesota is not going to go away. And it was cemented as fundamental based on the reaction to it. And that continuing reaction, sending in hundreds more ICE officers, you do know that while it is true, that everyone illegally present in the country, okay, is a criminal. If you do something illegal, that is a crime, you are a criminal.
Starting point is 00:28:02 Oh, yeah, but they haven't been tried yet. But it's, again, a prior reasoning. you did the thing that is the crime. You willfully, knowingly entered the country illegally. It's a crime. It's in the book. It's a federal statute. It's a misdemeanor the first time.
Starting point is 00:28:17 It's a felony the second time. So most of these people that you are using battle-ready troops for and flooding them into communities, you're looking to round up misdemeanors. Because you're not just rounding up the bad hombres that you promised, right? Because we see the ratios. The extent that you put out any data at all, which is not satisfying and not complete and not often enough, we see that it's not all bad ombrays.
Starting point is 00:28:45 So you're rounding up a lot of people who are guilty of misdemeanors. Do you know what else is a misdemeanor? Excessive speed. Going over 75 miles an hour and a 55, going over 85 miles an hour and a 65. I'm sure many of you have done that. So first of all, check yourself before you wreck yourself, literally in figure, Don't be saying, yeah, well, they broke the law when you break the law to the same degree on a regular basis. It's just not an enforcement priority.
Starting point is 00:29:15 Excessive speeding. Yeah, but listen, Chris, someone speeding is not as big a deal. Oh, really? Let's look at that. Why is it not as big a deal? Because you're assuming that the person who entered illegally is what? Continuing criminality while they're here, right? Because that would be the difference.
Starting point is 00:29:35 you know that while they're here you know they're stealing services that's not true people who are undocumented and in the country meaning not legally here put more money into the economy than they take out they pay taxes a lot of which they don't get the benefit of for all these boogeyman stories you hear about emergency room visits it's a real thing it just doesn't represent the plus minus of economic contribution the way reality does, okay? They're doing jobs. They're helping communities. They're growing families.
Starting point is 00:30:14 That's why you keep seeing communities all over this country, rejecting taking just anyone who's here illegally because not everyone who is in the country illegally is the same. And, well, yeah, but people die, Chris, and the people who did it shouldn't even been here. How many? Compared to what? forget about compared to citizens, right?
Starting point is 00:30:36 Because you know we kill more. So, yeah, but they kill people and one is too many because they shouldn't be here. Oh, okay. What do you think kills more people? People who have entered the country illegally, which is a misdemeanor the first time, or excessive speeding. Here's a hint. Excessive speeding. Excessive speeding is directly attributable to over 10,000 deaths a year.
Starting point is 00:31:05 10,000. You see the cops chasing after people for that? 10,000 people dead because of the speeding. So if they catch you speeding, isn't that something that they should deal with more of an urgency, then what happens when you enter illegally and then do everything the right way thereafter? So the way that you're enforcing this is to send a political message. It's not public safety. Go after the bad hombres. You wouldn't be doing what you're doing right now. if you were really just going after bad ombrace, you wouldn't do it this way.
Starting point is 00:31:40 And look, I say sue the sanctuary cities. I don't think sanctuary cities are constitutional. I don't know why they don't sue. You know why they don't sue? They like it this way. They like it this way. Why? Six, seven.
Starting point is 00:31:57 What the hell does that mean? It means that the sanctuary cities give them a way to rationalize resistance, rejection. They want the sanctuary city. Why? So they can be, show them as the bad people and oppose them and go in there and force because that strength might makes right. Right? That's what's going on.
Starting point is 00:32:21 And the rejection principle of that rejection principle could be six, seven. Support for the Chris Cuomo project comes from Shopify. Let me tell you something. 2026, New Year, same challenges. How do you get people? to buy what you're offering. How do you get people, no matter where they are, to see a way to get to your website,
Starting point is 00:32:46 and once they get there, to have a smooth experience, where you get them from the clicking to the buying, to the picking, to the delivery, every time I do any kind of study of what works in a business, it's all about the business behind the business.

Here, your first, Kaching, Shopify, new sale, because you've done it the right way.
Starting point is 00:34:16 Start the year right. Start it with Shopify. There is a cost to exaggerated, outrage-driven populism. The cost is that you wind up exceeding the bounds of rubeism. rational thought and expectation because it's all about the hot talk. It's all about the cell. It's all about the emotion. And it leaves you vulnerable to someone taking a step back and looking at it outside that bubble, outside that cauldron and saying these people are the problem. And I believe that as we head into the midterms and there's more.
Starting point is 00:35:10 and more grist for the mill of just chaos and violence driven. To see on the podium of the Homeland Security Secretaries seal, one of ours, all of yours. That's what Christy Noam had on the podium. What does that mean? No, you don't have to tie it to Nazism. Yes, in the 30s, there was a fascistic idea of one of us is all of us, all for one, one for all. The three musketeers, were they Nazis? No, it's sometimes a malignant idea can have a lot of fathers, okay, and a lot of applications.
Starting point is 00:35:57 It doesn't have to be that they're putting a Nazi slogan in your face for it to be wrong, okay? And why do I want you not to call it that? I don't want you to exaggerate it because the truth is enough. who's yours who's yours is Renee good one of yours she's one of mine
Starting point is 00:36:16 she's a human being yeah she's one of mine just like the cop is just like the people who are here illegally are just like the people who are here doing it the right way are just like the naturalized citizens are just like the people who are born here
Starting point is 00:36:32 native citizens are they're all one of mine. They're all human beings, even when you're not being human. So what the fuck does she mean? One of ours, all of yours. You're treating other Americans and people who are in America, many of whom are trying to do things the right way as the enemy. That's what you're doing. And let me tell you, justify it any way you want, explain it away any way you want to your side, You're making enemies of people that you will regret. There will be more violence.
Starting point is 00:37:16 There will be more division because you think it's working for you so you want it. And you are making the mistake of seeing it as strength and you are wrong. One of ours, all of yours. By the way, not a thing in the administration of justice, by the way, okay? we're getting a little loosey-goose with the death penalty for everything. But all of yours, who are you talking about? Do we have jihadis invading here? Is this ISIS?
Starting point is 00:37:51 Because now I'm getting it, if it's ISIS. Is it a Mexican cartel? All right, I'm getting it. Is it Iran? I'm getting it. Is it Hamas? All right, I'm with you. Okay.
Starting point is 00:38:00 I don't think you should kill all of them, but I do think you should kill enough to win and get rid of them as a control element, wherever they are. I mean, that's war. It's disgusting, but that's what human beings are. We're violent.
Starting point is 00:38:13 But you're talking about us. You're talking about other members of your own country. No, they're not citizens. But what kind of dividing line is that? So they're not human beings. Car hits two people. One's a citizen, one's not. Who do you help?
Starting point is 00:38:29 Seriously, is that even a consideration? You help the one who's hurt worse. Right? what are we doing six seven i believe will become the rejection principle for all of the hate all the vitriol and you can say well it's on both sides that is you accepting your role in the problem they do it too that is what a stupid child says when confronted with their own wrong behavior. Own your shit. Okay? If a Democrat had on the podium, one of ours, all of yours, when they went into a place that was a community that was under siege because they had beaten and
Starting point is 00:39:19 killed a young black girl and tried to protect the people who did it and didn't want them arrested. And they showed up and their motto was one of yours, one of ours, one of ours, all of yours. You would go back, shit crazy. But you don't bat an eye when it's your side. Sixth, January 6th, January 7. Not going away. Metaphors for resistance of an ugliness and obnoxious inhumanity. And you couple that with economic pain and you have some recipe. Now, I'm not saying that this is what the left is cooking up. I don't know. We're going to have to wait and watch. But I'm telling you, 6-7 may go from some stupid thing that means nothing, that if you look a step deeper is a symptom of a problem we have, of kids that are just overwhelmed with what is supposed to be certain around them on this
Starting point is 00:40:20 magical device. They hold 90% of the day. But it could become something else that would be powerful and real. we'll watch together. Thank you for subscribing and following.
