Timcast IRL - TimcastIRL #64 - Jimmy Fallon FINALLY Apologizes For Being A Comedian After Woke Crowd Cancels Him

Episode Date: May 27, 2020

In a weak move, Jimmy Fallon apologizes but is still 'cancelled' for making jokes 20 years ago when footage surfaces of him in blackface. This segues neatly into conversation about the power tripping ...evident in the 'Karen' phenomenon, especially the latest example in New York City. Because of the racial component, this story then leads naturally into the heavy topic of George Floyd, who was killed without justification by cops. Tim and Adam discuss the role racism still plays or doesn't play in the American culture, based on these two stories. Support the show (http://Timcast.com/donate) Learn more about your ad choices.

Starting point is 00:00:00 How's it going, everybody? Welcome to the TimCast IRL podcast. I am Tim Poole, hanging out with some friends tonight. What's going on? It's Adam. How you doing, guys? Thanks for showing up. And? Me, with the sticky buttons over here. Sorry about that. Sticky buttons. Lydia. Yeah. There we go. F. We started, I think, a half a minute early, so nobody can be mad, but they're all putting Fs in chat anyway. Well, that's fine. That's how we start the show. Yeah's normal f's in chat yeah that's for respect for us that's
Starting point is 00:00:29 right it's like a minute lag actually that's ridiculous is it yeah anyway man today was one of the stupidest days ever but one of a lot of reasons i woke up to like two different cancel culture nonsense we got you know apparently know, apparently Jimmy Fallon. People finally figured out that he did blackface. And now all of a sudden they're mad about it. He actually apologized for, because he's a comedian and he's sorry for being a comedian. That's the way I see it at least. Good.
Starting point is 00:00:56 He should apologize. And then we got that Karen versus Karen clash. Central Park. Two Karens collide. One Karen obviously worse than the other, but still two Karens complaining about each other. And the crazy thing about this story, if you didn't see it,
Starting point is 00:01:09 some dude basically told some lady to put a dog on a leash. She started screeching, called the cops. She lost her job. She lost the dog. She's like, my life is over. And it's just like, since when did two people
Starting point is 00:01:20 getting into a stupid verbal argument for 30 seconds in a park turn into national news? Honestly, it happens all the time in New York. That happens all the time. It's insane. I skate down the street and I get pointed out. Oh, there's this on this block.
Starting point is 00:01:35 There's those Karens fighting. Oh, there's another pair of Karens fighting. You can do like street tours where it's like. It's not unusual. And if you look to your left, there are two Karens arguing with each other. Exactly. If you look to your right, there's another karen and that one is we're trying to figure out what a male karen was what do you think we should go with well there's a few good ones
Starting point is 00:01:52 yeah you we said richard that's good richard jerry's really good jerry i really like jerry i think that might might be a winner for me the thing about so the jerry is like a rick and morty thing but jerry's pathetic in r and Morty, you know? Yeah. But Karen's pretty pathetic though. I mean, in a different manner. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:02:09 She's, she's forceful. Maybe, maybe Jerry is right because it's like the opposite. Yeah. It's like a frail, pathetic man who like whines too much. Whereas the Karen is an overly aggressive woman who thinks she's entitled to everything. That does seem to be what happened here at Central Park. Bro, Karen, Karenism. Karenism. Karenism.
Starting point is 00:02:27 Karenism. Is toxic femininity. I think you're right. Entitlement. Yep. You know, it's like, it's, you know, I can do what I want. You have to listen to me because I'm in charge. It's that kind of mentality.
Starting point is 00:02:37 Yeah. That's why I tweeted this earlier that cancel culture is just the online form of Karen culture. Yeah. Like everything we've complained about with K's walking up to people and complaining. It's like, what do you think cancel culture was? Like, what do you think the thing is with Jimmy Fallon? You're not allowed to do that, Jimmy Fallon. That joke is offensive.
Starting point is 00:02:52 It's like, well, it's 20 years ago, man. I don't care. You can't do that. That's what it is. I want to know who was actually upset. Who was the one who was really upset? A bunch of Karen's. A bunch of white Karen's going.
Starting point is 00:03:05 It is. Exactly. That's of white Karens going, meh. It is? Meh. Exactly like that. What is that? That's from something. What is that from? It's like a South Park or something.
Starting point is 00:03:11 I have no idea. Meh. I'm sure it's from something, but. Oh, it's from American Dad. It's American Dad. Yeah, Roger is trying to get money from Haley
Starting point is 00:03:18 and so he does that no matter what is his response to everything until she finally just gives up. It's actually a good representation of what these people do. Never seen that, but that's what I feel like they're doing. Dude, the studies show that the progressive activists who do this are overwhelmingly white and female. Not surprising.
Starting point is 00:03:36 It's Karens who got access to the internet and then used cartoon avatars on Twitter so you can't tell what they are when they complain. And then for some reason, Coca-Cola, I'm using them figuratively, not literally, companies like Coke bend over backwards when a cartoon tiger character complains on the internet. I love it. God, no one cared for 20 years. 20 years later, he did blackface 20 years ago. No one cared. No one cares now. No one cares now. Exactly. But he apologizes because people are sitting there like, I'm bored.
Starting point is 00:04:07 I wonder if I can get a rise out of somebody. It's like literal trolling. Hashtag Jimmy Fallon is over party. Oh, yeah. Jimmy Fallon's over. That's ridiculous. You know what? He wasn't funny to begin with.
Starting point is 00:04:19 Exactly. He wasn't bad. He was mediocre. He wasn't like the all-star on snl but his whole his whole shtick was that he would break a character so you'd laugh and be a part of the joke you know what i mean yeah it's awful that only lasts so long then we get this other but we're gonna get serious here we're gonna get serious here because people are like dude why are you talking about this karen stuff there's more serious there is some dude got that got
Starting point is 00:04:41 killed yeah that's in minnesota and it's funny to me that these are the three stories we have and i'm like can y'all shut up about jimmy fallon and about this this lady with the dog because this other story's messed up right it's like they're trying to shove this karen thing down your throat did you see what happened karen whose side are you on yeah it's like no i don't care about either of them yeah they're both douches that's kind of the point with like leading with the jimmy fallon story is like we're gonna make fun of the story we're gonna make fun of like people pretending to care about this that's a thing right and then we're gonna talk about this dude in minnesota it's a complicated as per as per usual story this dude uh if you guys aren't familiar with what
Starting point is 00:05:16 happened this guy was getting arrested it says a forgery call and the cop pins him to the ground puts his knee on his neck for eight minutes. Dude dies. And so he died right there on the ground. Well, the police said he was in medical distress. They brought him to a hospital where he died. I wouldn't be surprised if they killed him on the ground. But we got to look at the context. We got to check out the story.
Starting point is 00:05:39 So we're going to get into it. If you're just tuning in, welcome to the show. Make sure you smash that like button. Just bam. It really does help. And if you want to get in the super chat and have your comments read by us, and we'll talk about what you say, then you can hop in the super chats. It's basically first come first serve. Usually by the end of the night, around like nine to like 920, we start getting into the super chats and your questions, but we can't read every single one. So keep that in mind. The more people who
Starting point is 00:06:03 come in, the faster the super chats come in, the basically becomes impossible for us to read everything, but we'll do our best. And so it's, it really is like a first, first come first serve thing. So if you'd like to hop in, feel free to do so. And if you just like the show, share it, hit the like button, hit the subscribe button, all that good stuff. And on that, we're going to talk about some, some stuff. Maybe we'll have, we got some space to talk about, but I think today's a big thing is going to be the power of the internet. Because you look at the story about the dude who lost his life, and this shows you how the internet is actually a good thing so far. Like, I don't want to jump the gun on the story, but when you can have someone film like an
Starting point is 00:06:37 injustice that normally would be overlooked, then the internet, it's powerful. It's a good thing. But then if you get these stories about like Jimmy Fallon or some lady in the park, you're like, man, people got to put the phone down. It's like not everything needs to be filmed and put on the internet, you know? Seriously. You know what the weirdest thing is though with this Karen story in New York? They had the same last name. So like all the news reports are like, Amy Cooper had a confrontation with Chris Cooper, no relation.
Starting point is 00:07:01 It's like, oh, that's kind of weird. That's really weird. I wonder if they actually are related, like going back really really far i don't know maybe well we'll see the first story that we got for all y'all all right jimmy fallon apologizes for resurfaced blackface 2000 snl skit my first instinct and my first thought is why and who cares jimmy fallon is basically apologizing for being a comedian which he should have done a long time ago, but fine. They say Jimmy Fallon apologized on Tuesday after a Saturday Night Live skit that aired 20 years ago resurfaced, featuring him appearing in blackface to impersonate fellow former SNL cast member Chris Rock. The video made the rounds on social media over Memorial Day
Starting point is 00:07:40 holiday weekend, sending the hashtag Jimmy Fallon is over party trending by Tuesday morning. Fallon, now the host of NBC's The Tonight Show, took to Twitter to apologize for the skit, calling his impersonation of Rock while in blackface a terrible decision, an unquestionably offensive decision, yet one that no one cared about for 20 years. And certainly no one cares about now. They're just pretending. And you know what? If you want to apologize because you're on SNL and every single person on SNL was okay with it and went along with it, fine. How about the rest of them come out and apologize too? How about Lorne Michaels and NBC and all of those people come out and apologize?
Starting point is 00:08:17 Bro, are we going to have to get the estates of old comedians in the 20s to come out and apologize? I can't believe the jokes they made back then. That's the number one requirement for being a Karen. You have to be offended for other people. Yep, exactly. I'm offended that you did something that will offend someone else. So I'm fighting for all those people.
Starting point is 00:08:35 I don't know any of them, but I'm going to fight. Shut up. It's like they want... I'm so sick of it. They want to enforce rules. That's what it is. Yep, I want some power. It doesn't matter what the rule is. It's like I'm going to tell you what They want to enforce rules. That's what it is. Yeah, I want some power. It doesn't matter what the rule is.
Starting point is 00:08:45 It's like, I'm going to tell you what you're supposed to do. Yeah. Here's what they say. While the full sketch is not available on NBC's online platforms, a portion of it was uploaded to YouTube in early February 2019, shortly after NBC News canceled Megyn Kelly Today in the wake of the morning host's on-air Halloween blackface defense. Now, it wasn't even a defense.
Starting point is 00:09:05 Megyn Kelly on NBC, first of all, that was a disaster. Hiring Megyn Kelly was one of the stupidest things they could have done. She said something like, people put makeup on Halloween all the time. Why is that offensive? And everybody was like, on the show, they were like, well, it is for these reasons.
Starting point is 00:09:21 She goes, huh. And that was it. She was fired. She went, huh. And got fired for it. She asked why it was offensive. like well it is for these reasons she goes huh and that was it she was fired she went huh i got fired for it she asked why it was offensive why was she's like i don't i don't understand you know people you know dress up all the time was why is it offensive so she was simply asking she was just ignorant she had no idea yeah and they how do you become unignorant though you ask questions and get enlightened by people that's why this is why I think you see things like walk away. Nobody wants to be associated with these people.
Starting point is 00:09:48 They're unforgiving zealots. Yep. It's like, man, it really is this dystopian nightmare 1984 style thing. It's like, I don't know if you've ever seen that skit. Who's that guy from Portlandia? Oh, the guy who wears blue paint? Yeah. No, blue paint?
Starting point is 00:10:05 I don't know his name, but like the main actor you mean? He's got that skit where he's a dictator and he's like, you know. In Parks and Rec? Is that what it was? You know the skit? I think so. He's from some South American country and he's like, your town is very small. We have much bigger towns.
Starting point is 00:10:19 And you slice the chicken wrong, straight to jail. Yeah. You undercook the chicken, jail You undercook the chicken, jail You overcook the chicken, jail He goes, believe it or not, jail That's what you're talking about? Yeah, that's exactly it It's like you're walking down the street
Starting point is 00:10:36 And you're eating an ice cream and a drip hits the ground And it's like slow motion as it falls And you're like And then it splatters and all of a sudden all the Karens go You look down and you look up and you're surrounded by karens and they're all like pointing at you and jerry's and the jerry's huddling scared and you're like do something he's like please please i feel like jerry is the weak-willed version of the male karen right but i don't know if it encompasses the full male Karen identity.
Starting point is 00:11:08 I don't think there is a male. What is a male Karen? The guy from Central Park today. He started the Karen-ing. Yeah. He was like, Karen! Bah!
Starting point is 00:11:18 Karen! And she was like, oh, well, I'll raise you by Karen-ing more. Yeah. And it was truly Karen-ing intensifying. It was like exactly that.
Starting point is 00:11:28 Can we just call it like a Karen-ism? Can we make it like a functioning ideology? Well, let's keep it to Jimmy Fallon for now because we're going to jump into that for sure. Because we've got to talk about Robert Downey Jr. Oh, right. Yeah, and like what is or isn't offensive. Because every so often, some new young karen up and coming karen uh just sees the movie or or sees an old tweet
Starting point is 00:11:52 and tweets it out like how are we not canceling this person and it's like oh my gosh seriously it happened like a couple weeks ago robert downey jr was trending i'm like oh great what's going on and then sure enough half actually i'd say about 90 of the tweets were making fun of the original tweet like look at this another person that is a social justice warrior trying to good bring robert downey jr down it's like wow it reminds me of uh south park when they started the whole pc cycle for the like the latest seasons okay there's like an old guy he oh, it looks like political correctness is back again. And they're like, how long do you think it'll last? He's like, oh, about six, seven years.
Starting point is 00:12:30 Because it comes. It was in the 90s. It comes and goes in waves. There's like a moral authoritarian that comes. Moral authoritarianism. But what's really funny about these young people is it's like their first foray into society. It's like you're a little kid and you're in school
Starting point is 00:12:45 and you're not really doing anything you know it's like you're playing with action figures listen to you know doing tiktoks or whatever it is the kids these days are doing and then you get older now you're on the internet and now you're 14 15 and you're actually on twitter with a bunch of 40 year olds and you're basically being told as your first entry like into adulthood, all we do all day is form swarms to target people over perceived slights and destroy them and destroy their lives. And so they're like, this is what I'm supposed to do, right? So then all of a sudden they see Robert Downey Jr. And they're like, wait a minute. I thought we were supposed to go and swarm people and destroy them. What about this guy?
Starting point is 00:13:25 And the older ones are like, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, not Robert. And you've got young people who are like fans of, you know, Marvel who are like, oh man, what about this one? Right here. Let me, let me, let me pull up the story. Millennials called cancel. Wait, what is this? Millennials called cancel to Robert Downey Jr.
Starting point is 00:13:42 After discovering his role in Tropic Thunder. This is from May, 2020. So this is exactly what I was talking about a couple weeks ago. This is the one you saw. Now, I don't know if the sources play crazy game, so I just jumped back to Robert Downey Jr. actually opening up about his use of blackface in Tropic Thunder. It's from January. Apparently it comes up all the time. I'm sure it does. Yeah. Look at this. Like, it's actually one of the best performances in... It's not even really here's the thing about blackface when they used to do actual blackface back in the day it was purposefully
Starting point is 00:14:12 insightful and like meant to be exaggerated and derogatory the way they would put the makeup on their mouths right and they would wear gloves it was like purposefully insulting and attacking and mocking if somebody's impersonating someone else, all of a sudden that's become blackface. And now there was, like, some woman, I think, like, on The View or something, she put on bronzer in the 70s, and then people saw the photo and they were like,
Starting point is 00:14:33 that's blackface. It's like, no matter, it's just becoming, like, it's just not. But now it is, and it's, you know, one day you're going to put on, you're going to go tanning, and they're going to be like, oh, you're putting on tan face or whatever. Well, who did who did he play? He played Chris Tucker or which Chris Rock. Chris Rock.
Starting point is 00:14:52 Yeah. Did Chris Rock get upset? Did he care? That didn't didn't seem like he did. It's like Chris Rock is he's pretty famous. He's a funny he's hilarious, actually. He's he's many of his movies have made me laugh. And it's like so. So Jimmy Fallon was was just pretending to be a great comedian. Can we say that instead? And it's like, no, no, no, no, no. It's racist. It's a racist thing. I think people are bored, you know?
Starting point is 00:15:17 Is that what it is? It's just boredom? Yeah, I think so. Social justice boredom. Because think about what would be happening. It's like the worst. I grew up skateboarding, right? Okay. I got no time for this.
Starting point is 00:15:28 Right. We got to go and get them kickflips. So we'd wake up in the morning and I'd be like, what's on the agenda for today? And we had the internet. We'd go on the internet. We didn't have cancel culture for the most part. But for me, it's like, I don't care if someone posted some dumb video. I'd be like, you see that guy who did that video thing?
Starting point is 00:15:43 It's like, oh yeah, whatever. Hey man, you want to go to that stair set? Yeah. Remember that guy at the Cubs field who tried to catch that ball? Yeah. You already know what I'm talking about. I didn't even describe it. Of course I do.
Starting point is 00:15:54 I mean, I'm from Chicago. It was the catch or the lack of catch. He did catch it, though, didn't he? I think he did catch it. Yeah, and he stopped Moises Alou, I think it was, from catching it. Yeah, and then supposedly that was the reason they didn't go to the playoffs. It's like, whatever. It's the downside.
Starting point is 00:16:09 Like, that was as close as I think we got to cancel culture. Like, but no one still cared. Like, he got threats. He got escorted out of the stadium. Because I was on, I think I was on Friendster at the time. Friendster. Friendster. Wow.
Starting point is 00:16:21 Yeah, dude, do you remember Friendster? Did you have a Friendster? I did. I'm pretty sure I had a Friendster account Friendster. Wow. Yeah. Do you remember Friendster? Did you have a Friendster? I did. I'm pretty sure I had a Friendster account. Yeah. I had a live journal and a YouJournal. And then there was, what was that one with Hot or Not or something? I have no idea about this.
Starting point is 00:16:34 All these sites were popping up. What the heck? And then the first actual social media, I guess technically the journals were the first social media. Then we had Friendster, then MySpace, then Facebook. And there were some weird ones in between, like little one-offs and stuff that kind of just disappeared but none of us cared about what anyone else was posting you go to someone's myspace page would be a little trash and like weird html code and like music and glitter would be sprinkling everywhere yeah and they would post offensive things and nobody would say anything like it was no one cared like it's
Starting point is 00:17:01 like where did all this come from? Karens. Karens are bored. Yeah, man. Karens be on the internet now. You know, thinking about it, this is interesting. I was told when I was at Fusion, right? So for those that aren't familiar, Fusion was a joint venture between ABC News and Univision. They said, women share the most.
Starting point is 00:17:21 So I asked them, like, why are we doing this kind of content? And I was told by somebody that the angry women are the most likely to share stuff. So if you want to get content that gets the most traffic and the most views. Piss off a woman. Yes. So Karen's perpetuate Karen's. That's what I was saying the other day about how they manipulated the algorithm and how it created social justice. Yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:41 It's because they were specifically targeting middle-aged women. For sure. Like, literally, they said mothers who are angry share more than anyone else. So in that sense, mainstream media has actually been telling Karen's for years that they're correct. Yep. Yep. Yeah. And then letting them loose. Yeah. It's like, dude, you want to, you want to find some blame. Basically Buzzfeed and Huffington Post and Vox have had like a giant, you know, cage full of ravenous Karens. And the Karen Barons were standing atop the stadium and they pulled the, you know, the rope or whatever. And it lifts up the gate and all the Karens are running out. And then we're all running. And now they've unleashed all the Karens on everybody.
Starting point is 00:18:24 Karen Baron. I can't unhear that. I love that so much. That's fantastic. The Barons of Karens. I feel like it's like the highest order echelon of Karen. Like all Karens aspire to be the Karen Baron. Kind of.
Starting point is 00:18:38 It's the dark conspiracy behind the Karens. I would say it's more akin to a mad scientist genetically engineering Karens in a lab. So it's like, you have a regular middle-aged mom and she walks in and the kids are playing in the back and she's like, I'm gonna make some sandwiches for ya. What do you want? The peanut butter and jelly?
Starting point is 00:18:58 Don't you know that's not good for you to play there in the mud like that? And then she walks inside and she's going, boop, boop, boop, and she's buttering the bread and then her phone boops and she goes, oh, boop, boop, and she's buttering the bread and then her phone boops and she goes, oh, what's this? Someone's sending me a text message.
Starting point is 00:19:07 And she opens it up and it's some police brutality video from Now This and then all of a sudden her hair just goes and like makes the shape and she's like. That's how they get
Starting point is 00:19:16 the haircut, huh? Yeah. Okay, that makes sense. Yep. The hair just like forms into that weird, what is that haircut even called? It's like a short
Starting point is 00:19:24 asymmetrical bob. It's a Karen. Yeah short it's a it's a karen yeah it's called a karen it's a karen yeah karen cut yeah karen cut correct yeah and then like her hair changes and her son walks in he's like mom are you okay and she goes and she like runs out and she's like starts pointing at people put your dog on a leash you you made a joke 20 years ago yep and then uh it's where we are today yeah and then they form online communities and then they're sitting in their keyboards you know they're bored it's actually you know no but but to be honest like it's funny we're totally talking
Starting point is 00:19:54 about uh someone doing blackface 20 years ago and we keep getting into the karen conversation because i know i know they it's the same it's all kind of an emogulation of the same thing that's been going on. But I was reading a story about trolls, right? They are Karens. They're all Karens. There was a story about trolls. And I think it was in the UK. They tracked down the trolls.
Starting point is 00:20:15 They like, somebody sent a nasty comment to them. And so they like take a car and they go drive out to Milnor and they go to the guy's house and knock on the door. And they're like, are you, youus mcleod 53 okay and the guy's like yeah he's like you send a message to me saying this that and this why would you do it and the guy's like oh uh i don't know i just you know i was on the internet i guess and like they don't really know yeah so i remember reading this story i don't know public shaming basically yeah but it's it's like why do people want to join a mob and jump and jump around and doaming basically yeah but it's it's like why do people want to join a mob and jump and jump around and do the same thing as everybody else it's like a survival
Starting point is 00:20:49 mechanism i guess because everyone wants to be a part of something that's it we're humans that's that's what we do and the way society is built we put we get our own little cubicle boxes that we live in we're by ourselves a lot of people don don't find others, aren't lucky to find someone else that makes them happy, so then they become miserable. They go on the internet, they meet with all the other miserable people, and then those people create the Karenism that we have today.
Starting point is 00:21:16 That's it. Man. People want connection. They want to be connected. So me yelling at you and having anyone else go, yeah, I agree with that guy yelling at this dude. I'm going to yell at him too. It's like, boom.
Starting point is 00:21:29 All of a sudden, they have a group. I think it's like – Or a tribe, really. Tribalism, right. In the real world, we have Karen herd immunity because if you have a neighborhood, let's say you have like a community group or whatever. Maybe it's a church or something, and you have 100 people. And for every 100 person, let's say there are – you know, for every 50 people, you get a Karen. Okay.
Starting point is 00:21:49 If you have 100 people and you have two Karens, when that one Karen steps out of line, the group isn't in line with the Karening. They push back and the Karen recoils and, oh, you know, I don't want to offend the group, right? Okay. So you get one Karen in this, you know, two Karens in a group of 100. One Karen speaks up and starts basically complaining. But the people all around her are like, stop complaining. Stop. You're rocking the boat.
Starting point is 00:22:11 And so the Karen backs down. Good point. But when the Karens can go on the internet. And be surrounded by Karens. And now there's no more herd immunity because they're surrounded by Karens. They basically, by our powers combined, we become Captain Karen. And all of that Karenism is now unfettered and
Starting point is 00:22:29 unrestrained and just takes a concentrated force emerges and then it's like it reminds me of, you know that game, what is it called, like Katamari or whatever? I don't know. It's like the little guy and he like rolls the ball or something. What was that game called? Katamari? Do you know what I'm talking about? You referenced it before.
Starting point is 00:22:45 No, I don't. Sorry. And it gathers junk as it goes. Yeah, it's getting bigger and bigger. I've never played it, but we've talked about it a long time ago. That's what it is, man. The Karen starts the snowball and people get sucked into it. And you've got to resist.
Starting point is 00:22:56 Because for me, I don't know, man. If I saw a large crowd of people and they were all waving pitchforks and screaming, I'd get away from them. Yep. Why would you want to be in that you know i don't know i was in um uh at a trump rally in san jose and this is where one of the like i had this viral video clip where a guy walks up behind a trump supporter and smacks him in the back of the head with what's like a bag of something they said it was a bag
Starting point is 00:23:18 of rocks and i i remember being there it was nuts they were attacking people this one dude who was clearly not a Trump supporter got punched in the mouth, like in the lower jaw and his mouth's bleeding. And it's because he was in one of these mobs. No one knew what was going on. No one knew what they were doing or why they were doing it. All they knew is that when one person started running towards another person, the whole mob would go after him without stomping and punching and beating the person. And that's what I see when I see these online things like, oh, Jimmy Fallon, oh, no, it's like he's a joke.
Starting point is 00:23:48 That's what it is, you know? Yep. It's like nobody actually cares. They just don't. They're just there. I don't know, man. People have fun running with a crowd of people romping and stomping, I guess. But he apologized.
Starting point is 00:24:01 So he obviously, he admitted that he did something wrong. So he did something wrong. So he did something wrong. Fire him then. Yeah, sure. Jimmy Fallon, you messed up because I don't think you did anything wrong. But by you giving in to these Karens and saying, I'm sorry that I was a comedian and I thought, or actually, no, I did something that was funny 20 years ago. Here we are in 2020.
Starting point is 00:24:21 You're apologizing for it. It's like, dude, that's on you. You know what, man? You let the Karens win. Did you see Ellen make that joke about the lockdown where she was like, ago here we are in 2020 you're apologizing for it it's like dude that's on you you know you let the karens win did you see ellen make that joke about the lockdown where she was like it feels like i'm in prison because everyone's wearing the same clothes yeah or she's like i'm wearing the same clothes and everyone around me everyone around me is gay or whatever right mad people started to get upset it's just like okay i thought it was a dumb joke sure it was it was a bad joke joe joe rogan thought it was hilarious. I mean, because it was still a joke.
Starting point is 00:24:46 Right, right, right. There's some people out there that like bad jokes. Or trolly jokes. You know what, man? Comedy is not allowed. Just none of it. That's what it seems like nowadays. I'll put it this way.
Starting point is 00:24:58 If you're Ricky Gervais, if you're Dave Chappelle, if you're Kevin Hart, if you're Joe Rogan, who am I missing? Who's a good one? Bill Burr. Bill Burr is pretty good. He's great. Yeah. You're allowed to be a comedian.
Starting point is 00:25:08 All of you guys. You have my permission. If you're Jimmy Fallon or anyone or Ellen or anybody else. Well, actually, did Ellen apologize for that? I have no idea. If you're any one of these comedians who's going to apologize because you told a joke and people got angry, you do not have my permission to be a comedian. I'm kidding.
Starting point is 00:25:24 It's not like you need it as a joke. But I'm just saying like why be a comedian if you're like let me tell a joke and then a day later it's like you're fired right just just stop just just give up that's your audience is insane they don't want jokes they want how do you even tell these jokes how can you be a comedian with that thin of skin comedians say brutal things and they get ridiculed and they get laughed at and people it's either you love them or you hate them but the best comedians don't care about anyone that hates them and focus on the people that like them and then that spreads and then they get better at being a comedian and then they get more well-known like look at ricky gervais he says the craziest stuff to all like he what was it the oscars that he bombed them. He dropped bombs on all those people.
Starting point is 00:26:06 He was dropping fire and it was hilarious. And they were sweating. They were looking around. They're like, are we supposed to be really upset right now? Are we, are we letting this happen? And he was like, I don't care. And that's it right there. He just doesn't care.
Starting point is 00:26:19 And that's like, bravo, Ricky. You're the best. Yeah. It's like, we need that. We need that in comedy right now. Jimmy Fallon, you are ruining it for more comedians. This is just, it's just one more domino falling down. I mean, good riddance.
Starting point is 00:26:33 Fire him. Fire the guy. He doesn't deserve to have a job if he's scared. Like, I told a joke 20 years ago, and now people are offended by it. But it's not even about Jimmy Fallon. It's him letting them win now. So they're like, all Karens around the world are rejoicing right now we canceled another one everyone whoo that's actually it's a it's a
Starting point is 00:26:51 funny thing that he had to apologize in the the New York Times wrote an uh Barry Weiss for the New York Times wrote an opinion piece in an interview with Joe Rogan about his sale to Spotify and he basically said it was alluding to the fact that you can't be canceled if you work for yourself like if you said something offensive what are they gonna do they're gonna call me be like tim adams is the defense i don't know how you know he was sitting right next to me right what are you gonna do about it yeah and so for him joe doesn't gotta apologize for anything it's his show yeah it's his it's his room yep but jimmy works for somebody else exactly and they're scared he wasn't apologizing they probably called him up and said,
Starting point is 00:27:25 apologize right now. They probably have control of his Twitter account and they were like, Jimmy wakes up one day, looks at his phone and says, I apologize. Nah, I don't think it's that bad. I think he did it. I think he apologized. Yeah, for sure. Because I read his, I mean, you
Starting point is 00:27:42 could just see his personality. He wants to make everybody happy. That's his personality. He wants to make everybody happy. This is the stupidest thing ever. That's his personality. You know, he just, you can tell. Every time I've ever seen him talk, talk about anyone, talk to anyone, he just wants to make everyone happy. So if anyone's offended by something he's done, that's why he's apologizing.
Starting point is 00:28:01 I see it. I get it, Jimmy. You're a nice guy. That's what it is. But these people don't actually care. I know. They don't care. But Jimmy does, and that's why he's apologizing. I see it. I get it, Jimmy. You're a nice guy. That's what it is. But these people don't actually care. I know. They don't care. But Jimmy does, and that's why he's apologizing.
Starting point is 00:28:10 But you're also giving them a victory and making it worse for the future of when they come after the next comedian who is doing something less offensive. It kind of reminds me of a kid walking into the mom's room and going mom mom mom mom and then when she's finally like what do you want he goes yeah and he runs away yeah like the stewie thing she finally goes what what do you want he goes yeah and he just runs off like he didn't want anything he just wanted to get a rise out of you so here's jimmy like i'm so sorry i did this i made a joke 20 years ago it was offensive and and these people are just sitting there like oh who do we attack now it's's like, I don't know. You find somebody.
Starting point is 00:28:46 All right. How about Robert Downey Jr.? Been there, done that. We tried. It didn't work. Yeah. Yeah, man. We'll try every couple years, but it never works. It's confusing to them.
Starting point is 00:28:56 They're like, is that a target? Well, no, not Robert. We like Robert. Why is that? No, that's not even it. It's not even because people like Robert Downey Jr. It's because he was, every single tweet, I tweet i mean a lot of people a lot of tweets were from black folks that were saying we know it was a it was making fun of white people in blackface right right that's what
Starting point is 00:29:16 the movie was about all of them were like i never i didn't see one you know african-american person that was upset about it they were all everyone was making fun of this young white girl. She was so vividly a 20-year-old white person that was pissed off. It's like, why are you mad? Who are you mad for? Oh, your mother's a Karen, right? Oh, yeah. You've inherited the cat.
Starting point is 00:29:39 And that's another issue is they're teaching their kids. You see that video of the girl crying because someone flipped her off yeah and her mom stormed out to go find the person it was like whoa you're teaching you that's what you're teaching your your kids you know it's kind of nice paradoxical and kind of ironic is that a lot of these sjws are upper class white people yeah and they're also the karens yeah like. Like it's all Karening. Exactly. So it's like they actually prove themselves kind of right about white people. You know what I mean?
Starting point is 00:30:09 You're right. It's true. It's you. It's terrible because it's like as a white person, I'm offended at Karens. Yeah. Karens offend me. They offend me.
Starting point is 00:30:19 Yeah. They're racist. They're like prolonging racism in this world. It's like oh that's stop yeah that's what i was saying about this uh this episode let's look we'll jump over to the to the karens of new york yeah that's what i was so here's here's what i was saying about this um for those that aren't familiar i'll give you the quick gist of the story amy cooper walking her dog chris cooper no relation it's funny how that happens sees he's like, hey, your dog needs to be on a leash.
Starting point is 00:30:45 And she's like, my dog doesn't need to be on a leash because he's running around. And he goes, no, the sign says your dog's got to be on a leash. And then she's like, well, my dog needs exercise. He says, why don't you go across the street or whatever? She says, because it's dangerous. So then he was like, if you're not going to listen, then you're not going to like what I'm going to do. And I'm going to do it anyway.
Starting point is 00:31:01 Reaches into his pocket and she starts and then calling the dog over and she freaks out and she grabs the dog and she's like stop don't you touch my dog dude starts filming lady goes nuts starts saying a bunch of really dumb crazy things and calls the police karening ensues more karening it's truly two karens in the wild i think the lady was much worse than the guy the guy was like your typical nerdy j kind where he was like, excuse me, your dog needs to be on the leash. Yep. That's a good point.
Starting point is 00:31:27 And then she was like, don't you tell me what to do. I'm Karen. Karen doesn't need to do this. And he goes like, actually, you know, that's what it was.
Starting point is 00:31:34 That's exactly it. And it was like, it was like an unstoppable, an unstoppable force collide with an immovable object. And then, you know, but the thing about the story is that it has nothing to do with race. And then also the whole thing became about race. race why because the lady was white and the dude was
Starting point is 00:31:47 black yeah but you can't even tell that from the video that's but this is what i'm talking about like what is what is him having being black have anything to do this video what is it it's a woman and a man both karens karening at each other who cares nothing happened i don't i don't care how did it be it was a nationwide trend man yeah and this guy why what is going on what why is this news why do people care and i lived in new york i saw this all the time i was a part of people yelled at me all the time for random things skateboarding you know one time a cab cut me off and I was like, what up? And he stopped, got out of his car and started yelling at me. And I'm like, what? Okay.
Starting point is 00:32:30 I didn't do anything wrong. I was in the bike lane. You got to train with the Karen. All the time. That's true. I was hardened in the forge of New York because there's so many Karens there. What you have to do, when that happens next time, when the guy gets out of the car, immediately take your all right press record and hold it up make sure it's vertical
Starting point is 00:32:48 okay don't do horizontal video make sure it's vertical filming and the first thing you need to say is why did you just call me insert slur yeah because you didn't actually film them saying the slur right you have to open the video like you just called me a slur and apparently that's become good enough so like there's another video where like these two fedex drivers are just yelling at this white dude who's filming him because apparently they drove on his lawn to deliver a package he comes out yelling at him okay they get into a fight the dudes post the video online they made like 85 000 if i go fund me they got fired for this and then all these people are saying it was like a racial justice issue. Let me tell you, man, if a man and a woman can't clash over Karenism without it being a race issue, then I don't think you can get rid of racism.
Starting point is 00:33:34 Because think about it. Let's be real. We'll drop the jokes. This story about Amy Cooper, she loses her job over this. She surrendered the dog to a shelter. Oh, that's sad so the argument was that she was dragging the dog by the collar and like clearly not taking care of it while this was going on oh okay yeah i haven't seen the video so i don't want to watch the video i was told what happened i don't i don't like this lady you know but but listen a man a jerry
Starting point is 00:34:03 and a karen i feel bad for the dog that's for sure for sure poor clash. I feel bad for the dog. That's all. For sure. For sure. Poor dog. I just feel bad for the dog. He had to witness that. He's probably thinking, these stupid humans.
Starting point is 00:34:12 You know, actually, you have a Jerry and a Karen and they clash. And it doesn't matter what their race is. Exactly. It doesn't. But to everyone else online, they're looking for it. And they make sure that's what it's about. And so literally – That is the worst.
Starting point is 00:34:27 The company fired the lady specifically saying something like – what is it? What did they say? Yeah, we do not tolerate racism of any kind at Franklin Templeton. What racism? She called the police and said there's a black man who's getting – African-American man. Oh, is that what she said? She was like –
Starting point is 00:34:43 Something like that right she she basically she straight up like said like oh man there's this man like an african-american man it's like well the first thing she said was i'm gonna tell the police an african-american man is threatening me she said that on his video on his video before she called them yes and so right away that does draw some like hmm it's like oh sure because you know they'll probably what come faster or something or or come to your your aid quicker or like she was trying to scare the guy yeah like like he was scared of the cops oh you think you think you can do what you want with my dog all right well i'm gonna use my caring skills on you so so here's here's what i'm saying come on i'll give up that absolutely right when she said that yeah i was like oh no you did not
Starting point is 00:35:25 just say that dude come on we know what like i'll tell you what i think we try to say that however people in heated moments say stupid things and and the issue i'm talking about in terms of racism is did she tell him to f off in a matter of speaking because of his race no because they're both karens and they're both like i'm gonna tell you what you have to do you can't tell me what to do i'm gonna tell you what to do are do. You can't tell me what to do. I'm gonna tell you what to do. Are you trying to Karen me? Oh, I'm gonna Karen you. Right. That's what it was. You think you can Karen me? I'll call the police.
Starting point is 00:35:52 And they start fighting with each other. And so there's been a bunch of instances. Notably the FedEx truck. That really struck a chord with me. It's a video of a black dude and a white dude and they're yelling at each other. Okay. And that's basically it. And the white dude's like, I'm going to call the cops.
Starting point is 00:36:07 And he was like, you do what you want. They know me. And he's like, you got my information. And he gets in the car to leave. Okay. These guys used this footage, and they raised on a GoFundMe like $80-something thousand dollars. It was like $83,900 last time I checked. But for what?
Starting point is 00:36:18 What was the reason? What did they say? They got fired. Because they got fired over it? They got fired for confronting this guy. Uh-huh. So then the one guy who was filming, who wasn't the driver, publishes the video. because they got fired over it they got fired for for confronting this guy uh-huh so then one the one guy who was filming who wasn't the driver publishes the video and everybody's acting like it's a racism thing and i'm like what do you what do you mean it's like two guys were arguing because
Starting point is 00:36:33 a guy drove on his lawn right it's nothing to do with that right if they were white and they ran over his lawn he'd probably still be pissed and probably yell at him the same right i mean who knows you know i mean who i i don't know i do think that racism's going down in the world like well at least in my circles and my community that i know of people it's like that's going up man i don't know i don't know if i agree i mean it feels like the younger generations those that don't have k parents, you know, tend to be cool with most people. Like everyone that I meet seems to be chill. And race is the last thing that we're discussing that we're talking about.
Starting point is 00:37:13 Under Obama, polls showed that people thought race relations were getting worse. And so you can have a discussion about what racism is. And you can argue whether it's Obama's fault or the fact that Obama was the first black president and people are racist. But when people start acting that way and saying race relations are getting worse, that means people are seeing this more and it's becoming conscious in their minds. And here we are. And I wonder why. Here's an article from New York, what is it, CBSlocalcom that says oh here let me scroll up what does it say here white woman on video calling 9-1-1 on black man really yeah and how how is how are
Starting point is 00:37:56 people supposed to like it's not what are they what are they connecting though it's they're they're the news is now perpetuating racism. That's what I'm seeing right here. Think about what the story would be. A woman in Central Park fears a man attacking her dog. You know that. Right. That, you know, you can paint whatever picture you want in your head. They're making it about race framing.
Starting point is 00:38:18 Exactly. So actually, yeah, let's be fair to the a lot of people are defending this woman. Actually, I think she was over the line. However, the dude who told her to put the dog on the leash released this video clip on Facebook where he said that he was trying to coax her dog away from her and he had treats in his pocket for dogs. Weird. It is weird.
Starting point is 00:38:40 That's weird. And the other thing is, I don't know what you got in your pocket, bro. Exactly. She didn't either. And we don't know what you got in your pocket, bro. Exactly. She didn't either. And we don't know what happened before this video. So to be fair, here's what people are arguing. Imagine you're a 120-pound, 41-year-old woman in a park. No one's around you.
Starting point is 00:38:57 Some 6'1 or whatever dude shows up, and he starts giving you the business. Right. And then all of a sudden, when you're like, I don't know, you can't tell me what to do, he says, come here, come here, come here to your dog, and then he reaches into his pocket. What are you going to think? So a lot of people are defending her in that regard, saying she probably freaked out, her general's probably going crazy. That totally makes sense.
Starting point is 00:39:16 It makes sense. And she said a bunch of stupid things in the heat of the moment, like while her heart was going crazy. She's holding the dog and trying to stop the dog from running because she's freaking out. Look, man, she went up to the dude. She's like freaking. She's getting up to him. She's like waving her hand.
Starting point is 00:39:31 Stop filming me. Yelling. I'm going to call the police and say an African. So I'm not going to defend this lady. You know what I mean? But I understand what people are saying when you get two Karens. But back to the news issue about it. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:39:45 What would the news be? What is this? It's not news. That's the thing. Right, exactly. That's my argument. I don't care about this little tussle in the bramble of Central Park. It's a big nothing.
Starting point is 00:39:59 When I was first moving to New York City, I had people ask me why. They're like, you know, because this was back in like 2011. Okay. And like it was actually, it was after Occupy and I was like, I was going to stick around and stay in New York.
Starting point is 00:40:10 And I said, listen, man, you could fart in New York City becomes national news. And I was talking specifically about a protest that happened in Brooklyn of 60 people. 60 people protesting in New York City, in Brooklyn.
Starting point is 00:40:22 Nothing happened. And it was a nationwide, it was a worldwide trend. It was alllyn nothing happened and it was a nation it was a it was a worldwide trend it was all over twitter every journalist was talking about it meanwhile i was up in canada and there were like a thousand kids running from cops who were throwing flash bangs and you know other kind of like right weapons beating people arresting people yeah and it was like some big protest i forgot what it's called and i was like i think it's called money fancour or something like that manifestation or something okay and i was like some big protest. I forgot what it's called. And I was like, I think it was called Manifancour or something like that.
Starting point is 00:40:45 Manifestation or something. Okay. And I was like, this is crazy. Like all these people are protesting. They're going nuts. And it's like really close to New York. Nobody cared. Nobody cared at the same time because people in New York were protesting.
Starting point is 00:40:56 Tiny group. And that's what happens. People are just obsessed. It's like, it's like, what's that show where they put everybody in and like lock everybody in the house and make them yell at each other? Big Brother. Big Brother, is that what it is? I think so.
Starting point is 00:41:07 I don't know. There's like eight of them. That's what it is. There's all sorts of those shows. This is why we need it. Reality TV. This is maybe why we need, you know, the Real Housewives of New Jersey. Maybe they're saving us.
Starting point is 00:41:19 They're protecting us by giving us the fake drama so that we don't need this stupidity. No, the sad thing is, i've been to europe a lot and a lot of people think that's what americans are like that's the issue with those reality shows they're like i've seen reality shows of america like i know you you're american huh i've seen this show and this show and this show so i know all about you because you're american i'm like like, oh my gosh. Yeah. It's not even worth any words or breath from me to try to explain to you that you're so wrong. Have you ever tried explaining to a European, like the size of the country of the United States? Oh, all the time. They're like confused by it. Right. All the time. Cause I was, I, I love telling these stories. Like when
Starting point is 00:42:00 I've had European friends, there's a story where someone hit me up recently and they were french i think and they were like they're like hey tim i'm gonna be in los angeles uh you know next month i thought it would be really great if i could drive up or swing by or if you could come into town and i was like what you were living in new york at the time right no this was i was here oh you're here oh okay okay and i responded with like i'm not gonna be anywhere near los angeles and he's like maybe i I could drive up. And I was like, bro, that's like 40 hours. What is it? That's like 41 hours. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:42:29 Oh, it's 38. 41? Yeah, it's a lot. He was like, wait, what? Really? I'm like, yeah, you're not driving that, dude. It's like a six-hour flight. Because the way I think it works is that because, you know, France is the size of Texas,
Starting point is 00:42:45 they think the United States is a know, France is the size of Texas. Yeah. They think the United States is a country. France is a country. Therefore, the United States must be the size of Texas. Yeah. Their perspective of what a country's size is is France. Yeah. Yeah. I had somebody ask.
Starting point is 00:42:57 This was years and years ago. They said they were probably France or German, wanted to come down, and they said, We're going to be in New York. Would you want to take a trip to Texas while we're in town and I was like I was like I was like I don't know if I could muster that much you know time and energy for a trip to Texas and they were like I was thinking we just got on for the day or something and I was like what yeah it's a it's like what is it from New York to Texas what is that like 30 hours yeah no yeah I would say that depends on where you're going 18, depending on what part of Texas.
Starting point is 00:43:25 They don't get it. They really don't. But hey, man, at least we have our good name being defended by the likes of... Well, actually, I can't name any of these women, so that's probably a good thing. I can name the one famous Jersey Shore chick, but I'm not going to. I'm going to choose not. I'm going to opt out. Good.
Starting point is 00:43:42 Good for you. I'm proud of you, Tim. Fight the good fight. So I want to show you one. Good. Good for you. I'm proud of you, Tim. Fight the good fight. I want to show you one more tweet in regards to this that I think is a bit hyperbolic. It's from Celine D. Ryan, who is a journalist, I think. Oh, she was
Starting point is 00:43:55 campus reform. She takes the post from Christian Cooper. This is the guy who Karened the lady like, put your dog on a leash. Okay. He explains how he was trying to like coax her dog away from her and like give it treats so this is what celine wrote hey lady shut your kid up shouting is against the rules here he's been in lockdown he needs to get energy out playground over there it's dangerous over there fine if you do what you want i'll do what i want
Starting point is 00:44:18 but you're not going to like it come here kid i have candy like so the dog is her kid? Yeah. That's why I think it's an obvious exaggeration, but you can see the point she's trying to make. It's really weird that he had dog treats on him. That is weird, man. Why are you carrying around dog treats in your pocket? I pull out the dog treats I carry for just such intransigence. Okay, I have a theory.
Starting point is 00:44:44 You ready for my theory? Yeah. Okay, so my theory? Yeah. Okay, so my theory is that he carries dog treats because he's a birdwatcher and he really doesn't want dogs bothering his birdwatching area. Where do you get birdwatching out of this? Well, that's what he was. That's what he is.
Starting point is 00:44:56 That's what he admits. He's a birdwatcher. Yeah, he's like an Ivy League graduate. That's why he was there. Okay. Yeah. So he's actually a birdwatcher. Okay, go on.
Starting point is 00:45:04 Continue. Yeah, go on. Continue. Yeah, so my theory continues. He wanted dogs away from his bird watching spots, and he would use treats to kind of lure them from one place to another. And he said, I think he mentioned that people would let their dogs go off the leash all the time. So I'm guessing that's what he means by intransigence, which is quite a 50-cent word. Intransigence. He's such a Karen.
Starting point is 00:45:23 I know. Listen, Christian Cooper, next time you such a Karen. Listen, Christian Cooper, next time you meet a Karen in the wild like that, you should just do what Karens do and act like, tell them you're going to call the police because then she'll call the police and you'll both be on the phone with the police and nothing will happen.
Starting point is 00:45:38 Because the police will be like, you guys stop. Just leave. You see that final scene of Harry Potter when he's fighting Voldemort? Never seen Harry Potter. And they're like, so Harry and Voldemort, they both- I don't want to know this. They cast their spells.
Starting point is 00:45:50 You're ruining it for me. We're going to ruin it. I'll watch it one day. Are you seriously going to watch it? I'm dead serious. All right. Yeah. All right.
Starting point is 00:45:56 So it's like- When I have kids, I'm going to read it to them. We won't ruin it for Adam. I'm talking about the movie. Yeah, well, I mean, I'm sure the same kind of thing happened in the book, no? It didn't, no. Did you read the books? Yeah. Oh, okay. Yeah, the movies were embellished. there's some weird stuff in there you're like that seems weird i'm not gonna go off on a harry potter fan rant
Starting point is 00:46:11 anyway it's like goku and vegeta okay and they're both doing an energy blast then goku wins that's what it was he karen'd her she karen'd back he won in the end he out karen'd her yep but you know you know what it was? His his Karen technique was masterful. He feigned the victim and the victim always wins. It's a good point. That's true. He started it. She got belligerent.
Starting point is 00:46:32 So he went, oh, heaven's me. I'm a victim. And boom, you win. It's like it reminds me of I mentioned this before. Here's the movie next. Yes, I watched it actually after that last time you told me about it the scene where he purposefully gets punched so that the woman's like oh no yeah but he tries it like 20 different times right okay so so to give the context it's a movie about nicholas cage
Starting point is 00:46:54 who he can see the future and he keeps trying to figure out how to pick up this chick but every time he looks into the future she tells him to buzz off this dude shows up gets like starts you know pushing her around so he thinks like i'll take care of this guy and then he gets into a fight with him and clearly wins because he can see the future but then she's like you jerk and she yells at him so then he tries the one last time like looking to the future and he lets the guy punch him in the face and then she calls her her ex-boyfriend guy a jerk and then goes oh you poor oh you baby that's what it is you start the fight but then you let them hit you,
Starting point is 00:47:26 and then you look like a victim on camera. That's actually really clever if you think about it. You could go to Central Park, walk up to somebody and punch him in the gut, then pull up your camera and be like, please, man, I don't care if you're a racist. Leave me alone. Just don't say that to me again. And the guy will be like, what? And they'll start hitting you.
Starting point is 00:47:40 Now you've got a video of a guy attacking you, and then you'll say all these lies and the camera just doesn't attack you. It's like the worst thing. That's a really terrible premise that you're giving all the Karen. Not that there's Karens that listen to us. It's literally what's going on. No, I know, but that's happening and it's frightening
Starting point is 00:47:57 and I don't want anyone to get any ideas. Don't get any ideas, people. Wait, how are we here right now? That's some top tier karening bro karen's out karening each other wow wonderful man i guess i feel like the word karen is played out at this point yep it's like but it fits so well yeah and i and i don't demand someone's call it out for being like racist or something yeah oh yeah yeah yeah a bunch of middle i believe it i believe it was a karen who said that. A Karen Baron?
Starting point is 00:48:25 Well, the Karen Barons, what I was saying with that was a reference to big corporations who know they're using Karen energy for personal gain. So they're like, they have cages full of Karens, and they know they can unleash them. Like a cattle baron? Right. Ah, okay. It's like a Karen queen.
Starting point is 00:48:42 Right. And so they're sitting there on Karen back, you know, watching the Karens graze. And then they're like, you know, they whip the Karens in action and have them go do their bidding. And Karen ended up with Storm sharing articles. All the Karens are running full speed stampeding and they're holding up articles that say, like, Orange Man bad. Yeah. And then he's like, it spreads the paper around. And they're giving it to people and, like, demanding they read it.
Starting point is 00:49:04 That's the mission of the Karen Baron, you know? It's quite the strategy. Yeah, man. Well, how about we talk about some real news? Oh, yeah. This is terrible, man. Yeah, but we gotta talk about it. Yeah, let's talk about it.
Starting point is 00:49:16 I can't breathe. Man dies after pleading with officer attempting to detain him in Minneapolis. It sounds awfully familiar. Yeah, dude. This happens. But there's a lot we gotta break through in talking about this story, for sure. What we saw was horrible,
Starting point is 00:49:31 completely and utterly messed up. Mayor Jacob Frey set a video of the incident. I believe what I saw, and what I saw was wrong at every level. This story, I'm not gonna show the video, because I don't think we can. But to put it simply, we'll give you the quick gist. You know, and I was just saying I wanted to believe that racism was dying out.
Starting point is 00:49:50 You know, that I don't see it. I have a lot of friends that are of all ethnicities. And then I see this. And it's like, come on. Why is this racism? Because it's a bunch of white cops kneeling on his neck because they're probably afraid because of the mainstream media putting it out there that oh it's black men are bad black men are bad it's like and and that's what they go for that's a big leap man you know what it comes from being in new
Starting point is 00:50:17 york being in new york the new york city police force are is the reason that i i'm i'm making this this jump because i've seen it in new y so many times. I lived in New York for 16 years. I lived there for a long time. Non-stop were these stories showing up. All the time. All the time. And I never saw a white kid, a white guy getting killed, getting thrown in prison for no reason. There's a lot to dig through on that one. Yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:50:46 Because here's what, I mean, but this is just my first initial reaction of seeing this. It's like, okay, and they don't, they're not going to jail. They just got fired. Yeah, so this guy's getting arrested. Here's the gist. This guy was, there was a report of a forgery in progress. This guy's apparently sitting in his car. Cops come.
Starting point is 00:51:03 A forgery? A forgery. Like making a fake ID or something? I guess. So they pull the guy out. And apparently, according to them, I don't know if this is true, they said he was resisting. Okay. So they put him on the ground. A guy kneels on his neck. The guy starts saying, help, I can't breathe. Please, please, please, I can't breathe. My stomach hurts. My neck hurts. I can't breathe. And people are saying like, yo, get off him, get off him. Dude kneels on him for eight minutes dude on the ground dies and then look at this look at this headline though check this out just a regular man they don't they don't include black man because that would make
Starting point is 00:51:35 them look bad and that's exactly what i'm talking about they they can't do that because it's just a regular man now that died we don't want people to spread it around that it was a black man that had died. But that's a really good point. I don't know if I agree with the reasoning, but you brought up something really, really important. Look at it. Why did the other story say white woman? Some nothing story. Well, so let's give context for those that didn't hear earlier.
Starting point is 00:51:58 We're talking about the woman in Central Park. It's a white woman and a black man arguing about a dog on a leash. Right. And the news reports are like, a white woman did this to a black man or whatever. Now we have an actual story about white cops and a dude and a black man arguing about a dog on a leash. Right. And the news reports are like, a white woman did this to a black man or whatever. Now we have an actual story about white cops and a dude and a black man dying. Check this out. Here's what we were talking about. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:12 But it's very clear. White woman on video calling 911 on a black man. And it's like, okay, wow. All right. Really lay it out there. I don't know which one it is. What, this one? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:52:21 And then here we go. The man actually dies, but they're trying to admit that he was black. Because that would make it more, like, obvious that, I mean, they're obviously trying to hide that now. I think they're trying to avoid. They're trying to downplay it. Yeah. Like, whoa, whoa, the cops got fired.
Starting point is 00:52:36 It was just a man that died. Men die all the time. It's a regular thing. Yeah. And they're trying to avoid it. So let's go back to the New York thing, because this is important for a lot of people who don't live in New York. New York is racist. Yeah. And they're trying to avoid it. Let's go back to the New York thing because this is important for a lot of people who don't live in New York. New York is racist. Absolutely. Riggedy, riggedy racist, bro.
Starting point is 00:52:50 Let me tell you, man, that the New York, Bloomberg is on camera, recorded, where he was like, I'm not even going to repeat what the dude said. He was like, well, we have to send the police here because those are the people who do it. And it's obviously these people. And it's like, it was about stop and frisk right and basically he was pinpointing a
Starting point is 00:53:09 certain minority group you know what i can't stand openly and admittingly the woke sjw stuff are people who can't see past race the michael bloomberg stop and frisk stuff are the people who can't see past race yep so true both of them just make everything worse yeah you're trying to actually address these problems so but it's an older generation and that's kind of what i was alluding to before it is dying out it is a dying breed in this world i i the sjws are on the rise all of this talk of race and everything has been exploding no no no no no it's because they're all using the internet now so they all have a voice and they're screaming at the top of their lungs on the internet it's it's because they all have
Starting point is 00:53:50 access instances of the words like critical race theory diversity and inclusion social justice racism bigotry right are up like 10 000 percent in the past 10 years right because they are time because they know those angry women are going to be sharing it. It's not the people like you and me that aren't going to be sharing this stuff. We're going to be ragging on it, being like, look at this crap. No, but this is exactly what people share. So there was at one point a top rank. That's my point.
Starting point is 00:54:18 400 global top site that only did police brutality. Right. Because they wanted the clicks. Right. Because people do share it. They go, oh, look at this. Oh, look at this. And so this is what I wanted
Starting point is 00:54:29 to get to, right? The way I see it is, I'm not going to play the racism game in this instance. It's an individual. And if we approach all of these stories
Starting point is 00:54:41 from the perspective of an individual who had basically like every single one of their God-given rights violated in in this regard even if you're a criminal man like to have someone just reckless disregard for your health pinning you down so you can't breathe like first let me say if you're gonna if you're gonna take somebody into custody yeah you are now responsible for their well-being 100 if you if you put them in a car and take them for a nick
Starting point is 00:55:02 you know nickel riders uh i've heard of it i don know. They throw people in the back of wagons or cars with no seatbelt and then shake the car around. That's messed up. It's called a nickel ride. Okay. And so that was actually what happened in Baltimore. They think maybe what happened in Baltimore, I'm sure there's been updates, and it killed a guy. He slid forward, hit his head, busted his neck or something. In this instance, what I would say to people who are social justice activists, I understand your concerns about race and all that stuff.
Starting point is 00:55:31 Right. But hold on to that, and let's talk about this man who had his life taken from him. Yeah, race. Okay, that's good. That's a good point. Race aside. And hold on to it. Hold on to it.
Starting point is 00:55:40 I'm not saying get rid of it. I'm just saying put a tack in that. Talk about this man who has just killed an innocent. I don't want to say innocent, but absolutely not deserving of death. Right. 100 percent. Absolutely. He may have. No, no, no, no, no. I'm walking that back. Innocent until proven guilty. Yeah, exactly. As far as I can tell, was innocent and he was killed.
Starting point is 00:55:56 We'll stop right there. Then I'll say to the conservatives, I want you to look at this man, ignore the woke arguments and the anger and talk about the violation of our civil rights. Yes. If you commit a crime, the cops can't just kill you. Right. Straight up. And they are.
Starting point is 00:56:11 And they have been. Absolutely. And listen, my argument to people on the right would be I know that it affects people of all races. My argument to people on the left, I understand. I've seen the cops in New York target the black neighborhoods purposefully. And Bloomberg goes on record for it. Exactly. So what we need to do is make sure that every single individual has their civil liberties guarded, protected, the Constitution is upheld, because you target the roots, the grassroots of these. And then as you move up, things improve.
Starting point is 00:56:40 So the easiest way to explain it to everybody is like, listen, man, if you have 10 people and there are 10 people who are innocent and killed or like it was, you know, maybe in the process of a crime, never proven guilty and the cop did something, it killed him. Right. Let's say eight of them are black and one's Latino and one's white. on each individual in each instance and you rectify those injustices and hold those people accountable you will disproportionately help the people the oppressed minorities but you will also make sure you won't ignore the injustices that target other races as well it's basically like i look at like grassroots you know if you're only mowing the top of the lawn the problem's never getting you know pulled up if you're only cutting the weed you're leaving the roots there it just grows back yeah and so you what what i see what i see happening with stories like this is you know what i look at i'm like here's what here's how we solve this man innocent until proven guilty the police have to be responsible for this man's death absolutely
Starting point is 00:57:36 100 they killed him i don't want to i don't want to make it an issue where people are going to argue with each other about racial justice inequities or whatever it's like i think we all agree this guy's civil liberties were violated yeah and it and especially it was non a non-violent crime he forgery so here's here's so here's the challenge they said he was resisting right they said he was resistant and they tried for 10 minutes to get him in the car but look so then they sat for 10 more minutes laying out on him instead of just getting a bunch of them and putting them in the back of the car after that 10 minutes of of you know fighting sure tag him with resisting arrest i don't know what you do you know i could argue
Starting point is 00:58:15 they could have tased him or something but then sometimes tasers kill people and it's like i i guess the instance here for me is first and foremost i'll always stress like i don't know what happened before this video. I agree. That's why I'm very cautious. Yeah. Like, for all we know, this guy was like, you know, the Hulk and like throwing cars in the air and jumping and this, you know, poor cop knocked him down. For all we know, this guy was got his hands up and not resisting and the cop pushed him around and bashed him up.
Starting point is 00:58:39 I have no idea. Yeah. So I actually have a little bit of an update. Oh. So I just saw, scroll past me real fast there was a video that was released the earlier part of this um it looks like he wasn't resisting rest at all and the restaurant owner from like across the street was like i didn't see anything i didn't it didn't look like he was fighting back at all i gotta really don't know what happened
Starting point is 00:58:59 there so it's apparently really quiet exchange if he was hulking out. So I don't know. So you don't think he was resisting? Is that what you're saying? That's what they said. It didn't sound like that. I believe it. Look, man. I believe it, too. It's weird for me how it's like you have social justice activists on the left who are constantly complaining about the police.
Starting point is 00:59:21 And there's like a weird inversion. They hate the police, but they want big government and then you see like the small government people and advocates defending the police more often and look i get it there's there's subtleties within these arguments at a macro level to me i'm kind of like it doesn't always make sense yeah i'm sure there's arguments you can put forward about you know loyalty authority you know community and things like that but i'm a small government freedom liberty-minded person i'm much more about being on a farm with a bunch of hippies eating watermelon. And if some dude comes in under the authority of the state and starts telling me what I got to do, I'm going to be like Constitution, buddy, read it, read it and weep.
Starting point is 00:59:57 I don't care what your political orientation is. I don't care. All I i care i want people to have their civil liberties straight up so look the the story here and i think the big difference between this and things like michael brown and freddie gray trayvon martin yep we got a video of a guy who's pinned on the ground yeah yeah and it's like you know if that cop just asked for help and then took his head off his knee off the guy's neck yeah the guy might not have died yeah when you when you when you talk about you know the arguments for these other uh individuals we just don't know and that's one of the biggest problems we'll never know because the people who were there died exactly yeah man it's like you didn't need to put your knee on his neck
Starting point is 01:00:40 and i've been you could have could have sat on his hands at the lower of, you know, he's obviously handcuffed. That's a technique they do. Yeah. Knee on the neck. So I've had... It obviously kills people, so they should not make that a technique that they use. Like the, you know, you ever see the Eric
Starting point is 01:00:59 Garner video? Yeah. The dude was selling cigarettes, so the guy comes up and puts him in a chuppah or whatever. Terrible. Yeah. You know what, what man it's ridiculous it is a it is a very very dangerous balance between security and liberties yeah because i was talking about this earlier you know you know they tried doing bail reform in new york i i did hear about that yeah the general idea they did do bail reform didn't they did it was a disaster right it was a huge mess yeah and i'm like a lot of conservatives as well as me i'm like i'm not surprised right but i agree with the sentiment the idea is if you're innocent until proven guilty and a cop arrests you you can't lock someone up until they can pay a bill like that's messed up
Starting point is 01:01:41 yeah because what ends up happening is you have innocent people who get wrongfully arrested. And then they're like, your bail is set at $1,000. Nobody has it. So they go to jail for a couple weeks or whatever until they can get a trial or however long it takes. Sometimes months. Sometimes longer. Now they lost their job. Now they've been evicted.
Starting point is 01:01:58 Landlord says, don't know where they went. They're gone. And then that's it. Their life is completely destroyed. And even if they get out and the trial says, oh, we're so sorry you got arrested. It's too bad. Turns out you were innocent.
Starting point is 01:02:09 Sorry. Right. So the idea in New York was you got to release them. Then the problem was they actually had people they knew were committing these crimes like they'd watch them do it and they'd turn them loose and then like they would commit the crimes again. So it's like, man, this is why I would never want to be involved in politics. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:02:27 Like that's legit. You know what I think the issue is for big cities? They're big cities. That's it. Because think about what life would be like if you lived in the middle of nowhere and you had your Second Amendment rights and the police department was erring on the side of freedom. So they were like, if you get caught committing a crime,
Starting point is 01:02:42 you know, innocent until proven guilty, we're going to let you go. Then the neighbors would be like, all right right but i'm strapped at home so if you try to mess with my property to come and you know mess with my family we're gonna defend ourselves yeah then people have the ability to protect themselves the problem with new york is you don't so when these criminals get released and then go rob people again it's just like i guess i'll just stand here and have this criminal wreak havoc you can't have a comp this combination of things where you say we're to pull the liberty of the criminals but restrict the liberty of the private citizens to protect themselves. That's the big problem. Man, look at this. It even says right here,
Starting point is 01:03:16 video of the incident shows that a white Minneapolis police officer had a black man pinned to the ground with his knee. So they switch it on you. They're like, all right, well, now we'll give you the facts. Now we're going to give you the nitty gritty of this. And it says, the man looked like already dead before an ambulance got there. So it's like, he even said in the video, like, I can't breathe. I can't breathe.
Starting point is 01:03:39 So light up on his neck a little bit. Like, what are you doing wrong? I can't believe they just got fired, and that's it. Cops need to be held accountable if they're going to kill people. I think cops should be held. It's murder. I think cops should be held to a higher standard. Even better.
Starting point is 01:03:54 Yeah, absolutely. They need to be held to a higher standard, exactly. For two reasons. They have the authority of the state, which arms them. And that is not a license to kill. No, absolutely not. Right. And that's how they act
Starting point is 01:04:05 yeah so so well there's a couple reasons why i think they should be held to a higher standard first and foremost in many of these jurisdictions i do not like the idea that the government has granted the authority to bear arms and the people aren't that to me is shockingly insane indeed like we're gonna we're gonna the only people who are allowed to be armed are, you know, like agents of the state or whatever. No, I'm not all about that. The other issue is they're a representation of upholding the law, which means if they break the law, well, shouldn't they? Like, how are we going to set an example to everyone else that the law matters if the people who are supposed to uphold it often get a slap on the wrist or they walk? Like, therein lies a real problem i i do
Starting point is 01:04:46 recognize the the challenge right one of the big challenges is that you have cops who know that their job is dangerous and are tasked with going and doing dangerous things and so they might panic or be scared but i was talking to this nypd detective and he was like man the most dangerous thing in the world is a scared person holding a gun like obviously it's an exaggeration the most dangerous person in the world's probably kim jong-un scared and put his finger over the nuke button but you get the point so he was like it's just a really really big gun that does a lot of devastating damage so the same thing if you've got cops who are not trained properly not you know mentally prepared for this and they're scared like don't put a gun in their hand you know what i mean that's true like people gotta like it's funny to me that there are i would i would actually be willing to bet that you know
Starting point is 01:05:29 and i think this might maybe why the 2a is so strong in conservative communities i'd be willing to bet the average conservative in a rural district is better trained with a firearm than your average nypd cop probably like remember that story about the nypd cops firing randomly and like hitting what are they like a bunch of innocent people, like eight people or something. Oh, my gosh. What training. That's that's what you get in these cities, man. Yeah, because they're not run properly.
Starting point is 01:05:51 They have a mishmash of policy. These things don't make sense. Yeah, but like I'm going to get real with everybody right now. Chicago is extremely segregated. All right. I did a Twitter thread about this. Yeah, I grew up on 49th Street. If you go to four, if you go north two blocks to 47, that was the barrier.
Starting point is 01:06:08 You cross that line. Every single property was owned by a black family. And it was like the population demographics there was like 99.9% black. You cross south from 47th to 48th and then 49th where I live. And it was over. It was like 70, 80% white, some Hispanic, and then some immigrants and stuff like that. And then like 15 years ago, the city of Chicago took all of the low-income housing from the north side, every, all of it, they got rid of it all,
Starting point is 01:06:39 and pushed all of those families down to the south side of Chicago. Which they do. Yeah, and they pushed them all in and said, all right, you all live there now. Have at it. Yep. Oh, my gosh. So it was like ultra segregation. It was.
Starting point is 01:06:54 This is in the aughts 15 years ago, 2005. You know what happens? Around. I don't know exactly when, but. You know what happens when you have communities that are divided by race? What happens? Everything becomes about race. that's a good point so you would have people who lived on the area like the south side below south of 47th where i lived and you had a lot of racist white people
Starting point is 01:07:16 okay because to them they would see someone from north of 47th or like a black person walking around and yeah they would say hey you're from not in our community. What are you doing down here? Right. It was like a weird thing. They were like overtly racist. And so what ends up happening is we were explicitly warned not to cross 47th because for one, violence, the likelihood of violence, because like you don't cross that line.
Starting point is 01:07:40 They'll kick, they'll like, you're going to get, you're going to get attacked or something because of like racial reasons. Yeah. But more importantly, they were like, the cops will stop you. What are you doing in this neighborhood? You looking for drugs? Exactly. They'll frisk you down and they'll pick you up and they'll take you.
Starting point is 01:07:53 And that's like you can't do it. Yeah. And so you've actually got enforcement of this hard racial barrier. And it's it just breeds nothing but animosity. And people view each other through a side eye. Like, Hmm, that like you, you,
Starting point is 01:08:06 if, if you know that the majority of people of one race do not live in your side, then when you see someone of that race, they immediately think like you, you're not my neighbor. Yep. And it's creepy and weird, man.
Starting point is 01:08:18 It is. And that's, that's fairly widespread. I mean, I, I've, I saw that in New York. I saw that in Philadelphia and Chicago. Those, I mean, I saw that in New York. I saw that in Philadelphia and Chicago. I mean,
Starting point is 01:08:28 I did live in LA for a little bit, but LA is really a different kind of a city. It's really spread out. But New York and Chicago, definitely, I saw that. Well, I think a lot of people don't realize when it comes to New York, too, is that they drew lines on purpose. Redlining, blockbusting, the kind of insane racist stuff that was being done. And this is what I think really bugs me about the SJWs is that they make it impossible to actually talk about what happened in the 80s and going back to the 70s and 60s. Do you know what redlining is? Not really. We have to look it up so I can get a proper definition.
Starting point is 01:09:02 Are you familiar with what it is? I am not. It comes from Chicago. It has to do with the redline trains and how they would move people into specific areas. Okay. So redlining I'm not completely familiar with in terms of giving you the best definition, so I'm going to avoid that. Otherwise, I'll say something stupid. I'll probably get it wrong.
Starting point is 01:09:20 That's what I want to say, my understanding of it. But I can tell you about blockbusting. And this is crazy. What they would do is they would go to they would go to like a white suburban neighborhood and they would buy a house like a bank or something or some kind of real estate company would buy a house. Then they would purposefully rent that house out to a minority family, typically a black family. And then they would send out flyers to all the other houses. And they'd say things like oh did you see what just happened oh look you know look it's a minority family your property value is
Starting point is 01:09:49 going to go down and then these people would panic sell their houses then the bank would move out the minority family they rented to for a premium and then all the prices would go back up because like the market itself so this is what this is what i tell people when it's like i don't want i'm not going to pretend like that's necessarily going on today because i don't know i'm not in real estate i'm not going to pretend like uh it was every single house every single you know place in the country but this is something that i specifically covered when i was in ferguson and we were talking to all these people in other neighborhoods about how you end up with segregated neighborhoods and stuff like that and the manipulation of people who try play on fears and racial animosity to make money or when we were in baltimore same thing that was crazy yeah
Starting point is 01:10:28 yeah we were we were there so adam and i were there during the during the riots adam was filming yep and i was i was down there reporting adam came down to help film and produce the the content and someone threw a like a wixi whiskey bottle at me hit me in the arm with it yep that was crazy yeah man because you know i i guess one of the one of the biggest issues is that when it comes to these riots the progressive left defends them and it's just the destruction of a community that doesn't do anything and they argue that it's resistance like it's not resistance when you burn down your own house man yeah i don't understand that that's that that's like but you know what i see this kind of stuff and and if if i was a black man
Starting point is 01:11:06 in this world i would be upset i would be angry because i see it happening i see it it's still there that's the that's the problem man you see it because the media wants you to see it that's a good point because they want to get those clicks they want to drum this up because activists want to exploit it yeah and it's like I was saying, right? When I did the example of 10 innocent people died and like if eight of them were black, I'm not saying it's the actual proportions. Right. I'm just saying that if you have 100 innocent people killed by police, be it accidental or intentional. Okay.
Starting point is 01:11:39 And it's disproportionately black people like, you know, therican-americans in america is 13 okay so if you have 30 of you know unarmed people being murdered being black some questions get get asked yeah and and it's not i'm not saying everybody's in it's not these questions get raised and then people focus on that saying why is this and then you ignore the fact that 70 of people who died were other races. Yeah. And that's one of the biggest problems I see with a lot of these activists. They exploit this. They make money off it. And I'll tell you what, man.
Starting point is 01:12:13 There was an expose that was just done in the Daily Beast about Sean King. Okay. You know who he is? It sounds familiar. What's the story? He consistently just uses and exploits things like this to make money. And he's made millions. And he just lies about it. And they dragged him through the mud.
Starting point is 01:12:26 There are high-profile activists who are like, this dude is just ripping us off. And, like, I'm going to be very careful on this one, but the dude, if you, I've showed his picture to people, and I've asked people, what do you think this man's race is? And you know what they say? What? White. Is he? I don't even know.
Starting point is 01:12:44 Let me try and pull up this daily beast story yeah let's see this you know i see i see all this stuff and and all i can think is the entire system needs to a shift every every single part of the system our food our education our police force our government oh yeah even us even myself like everybody needs to to shift okay this is this is sean king i don't even want to show this guy's face but boom boom i just shocked a lot of people okay so i've i've taken this picture of this guy and i've said to people like i'm going to show you a picture of a guy i want you to tell me what you think is racist and they just go like he's a white guy what do you
Starting point is 01:13:21 mean like i what is that trick question and i'm like he's he's like one of the most prominent black lives matter activists yeah and they're like and i'm like he he's claiming that he's black and they're like wait what this guy yeah yeah this guy yep and this this whole article in daily beast is basically talking about how he's brought in millions of dollars i mean look at look at it. That's him? Yeah. It's the weirdest thing to me, dude. It's a grift. You know, I hate to use this word.
Starting point is 01:13:52 I don't know his ethnicity. I don't care. It doesn't matter. I don't see that. I mean, obviously, we're all different shades, but we all bleed the same color. It's like I know a-holes out there of every different race. Right, right, right. And I know amazing people, really out there of every different race. Right, right, right. And I know amazing people, really incredible people of all different races.
Starting point is 01:14:09 Right. It's like it's not the race. It has nothing to do with it. Right. But in this instance. It's society putting you in a position that you have no choice. And it's these people that you were talking about. What was the redlining, blockbusting, all these things.
Starting point is 01:14:24 Stop and frisk, dude. Stop and frisk is so racist absolutely and the people in power are putting these things in place so it's like that's what i was talking about we need a shift we need to shift away from this racist bs that is just being perpetuated by these the mainstream media click click click let's let's push this out here let's get people pissed off let's make let's make money off of of you know people minorities that's what i'm seeing here new york is a good example of the toilet swirl problem okay so if you look at crime statistics you will absolutely find that it is more likely that minorities that white people are victims of crimes from minorities than the other way around, right? Okay.
Starting point is 01:15:07 Is that true? Yeah, I mean, I want to be very careful on this one. That minorities are victims of more crimes? No, no, no, that white people tend to be the victim of violent crime from minorities than the other way around. I believe this is the case. I'm being very, very careful on this one. And yet, what's the percentage of the population that are white
Starting point is 01:15:23 compared to minorities? They're minorities for a reason, right? So wouldn't that statistic just be like duh no no this is ridiculous like if if uh white people are 10 times more likely to be victimized by minorities okay that's like kind of weird considering white people make up 72 percent of the country the problem with this is people make race the issue instead of poverty class. And it creates exactly it creates this toilet problem. So what I try to explain to people is like you need to understand that there absolutely is historical bias in how our families raise us and how this breeds long term poverty and crisis. It not only does all that, it's painting a picture that these minorities are, are bad people.
Starting point is 01:16:06 It's basically saying, teaching, you know, like this, this minority group is, is bad. We got it. We,
Starting point is 01:16:12 we, we know they're bad. And Bloomberg creates a policy around this. Right. Exactly. Instead of realizing that it's like, you look at someone like Kanye West and you're like, well, that dude's kind of like,
Starting point is 01:16:21 he's really good at what he does. And he's like a regular. So it reminds me of, you know who Daryl Davis is? No. He's this blues musician who went and de-radicalized a whole bunch of Klansmen and white supremacists. Oh, right. Yeah, I heard about this.
Starting point is 01:16:32 This dude is amazing. Awesome story. He epitomizes so much of what I believe in in terms of like us working together. Yeah. And he has this really great story where he said he was talking to this white supremacist guy. Okay. Who told him that, you know, he had like a gene or whatever that made him more likely to commit crimes or something. And he was like, but for
Starting point is 01:16:49 you, it's dormant. That's why you're an okay guy. So then he fires it back at him and says, well, you know, white people have a gene to make them serial killers. And the Klan guy was like, that's not true. And he goes, name a black serial killer. And the Klan guy was like, uh, had nothing. And so he was like, obviously that's not true either, man. Right, exactly. And so I look at someone like, I think Kanye West is a good example because he's a billionaire, successful, and he's a Trump supporter. So it's like it really flies in the face of these stereotypes that people have. genuinely believes that because these crime statistics you know exist that we must over police these areas you end up with people who like i mentioned they go to jail they have to
Starting point is 01:17:30 wait there because they can't afford to pay it because they're poor then they lose their jobs they get out of school and it creates it creates this this cycle and it's not you know i try to explain this to people and this is why i was saying like when it comes to this story about the dude who died like i try to remove the racial component component from it because it's not going to fix anything to exacerbate racial tensions. That's true. That's literally the problem. What we need to do is, for one, Michael Bloomberg is an awful dude. That guy's terrible.
Starting point is 01:17:54 I don't know anybody who likes him. Conservatives and progressives don't like him. I guess, weirdly, there were, like, desperate liberals who wanted him to win to beat Trump, but that dude is just not good. It's the craziest thing to me when I see some people, like some conservatives online, defend New York and their racist policies, and I'm like, bro,
Starting point is 01:18:09 does your small conservative town have this policy in place? It doesn't. You're allowed to bear arms. Stop and frisk is a gun control measure targeting people who should by constitutional rights be allowed to have these weapons within reason, right? And instead instead he sends
Starting point is 01:18:25 them specifically into their neighborhood and michael bloomberg is on recording saying it's specifically about their race that's true so for me i think what why this why this i have the problem with what you know michael bloomberg is in this argument is because growing up on the growing up on the south side with all of these different people i watched cops throw white people around i watched innocent people get you know like i was wrongfully arrested so that's why i don't like it when they act like white people have privilege that's why i can't stand the social justice types and i can't stand racists it's like both of them are overlooking the problem and it stands to make things worse yeah the problem is not race it's society as a
Starting point is 01:19:00 whole and like what the way that we've you know it's what's happened is the wheels have been turning for so long that everyone's just kind of complaining that the wheels are turning the way they are instead of just rearranging the whole machine you know it's not so easy man yeah you know do you watch the kevin hart on joe rogan i part of it so so kevin hart he's working with J.P. Morgan, right? And J.P. Morgan wants to bring awareness to inner city kids, you know, teach them money. And they're like, we're going to send. Hey, Kevin, like, let's let's send you with this this white guy that we have. And Kevin Hart's like, no, that's ridiculous. You can't send some J.P. Morgan white dude to the middle of the city to try to like teach these people.
Starting point is 01:19:46 It's like Bloomberg trying to like make decisions to like figure out, oh, well, I know what's best for these people. No, you don't. It's like Joe Biden telling. Exactly. You don't vote for me. You ain't black. Exactly that. You got no idea.
Starting point is 01:19:59 So Kevin's like, no, I'm going to do it my way. I'm going to go down there and I i'm gonna teach him myself because i was there i did live there i'm gonna teach him how to do this and it's like that's what we need we need proactive people like kevin hart you know he's an amazing comedian but man is is he making moves because he's working with jp morgan like i was like j you work with jp morgan like what that's that's exactly what we need to happen the people people who are in charge need a fresh perspective like Kevin Hart's given them. Like, no, no, no. Whatever you think that you think you know what's best for this community, you have no idea because you've never been in that community.
Starting point is 01:20:35 So we need those kind of leaders. Props, Kevin Hart. That was really awesome, man. Michael Bloomberg is trash. And the social justice warriors are trash. And the main reason I really, really hate the social justice warriors is, like I was mentioning before, they make it impossible to actually solve these problems because they exacerbate the problems of racial tension.
Starting point is 01:20:55 Yep. And I'll give you a really great example. Dave Chappelle is, I think, probably, of our generation, the best comedian. It's like, this dude... He is smart, man. His Netflix special. Which one? Man, the latest one. All of them are good. What was the last one he did that like... Sticks and Stones. All the SJWs
Starting point is 01:21:12 got offended and they were shocked and outraged. And I'm like, here we are with the people, like, it's really, really funny. You have all these conservatives that are being accused of being racist. Loving this guy. Laughing at this guy. Celebrating him as like one of the greatest comedians who's making all these brilliant and smart points, clearly disproving their narrative.
Starting point is 01:21:28 How do we deal with someone like Bloomberg, who doesn't know how to actually solve this problem, who gets voted in in the ultra-liberal stronghold? Yeah. And then you have these social justice types that shut down actual thought leaders in this community who are propped up, who are wealthy and successful. They hate Kanye West. They hate Dave Chappelle. They rag on him all day and night.
Starting point is 01:21:50 And they're symbols of success. They break the stereotypes. And they actually disprove these false narratives that the racists would hold. They make it worse. They make it so much worse. Here's Dave Chappelle doing a bit where he's like, you know what I loved? When he did that Chinese impression that was like overt 1920s style racist. Yeah.
Starting point is 01:22:11 And I'm part Asian. And it was amazing. Yeah. And you know what they say to me? They're like, well, you're not Asian enough to him. I'm like, dude. You're not Asian enough to be offended. Exactly.
Starting point is 01:22:20 And you look over and it's like white Karenaren and white jerry going and and here's the thing though what if i agree with them they they then i am asian if i say like i'm asian and i'm offended dave chappelle said that they go i'm so sorry for you you're so right but if i say like i'm asian and i actually think that's really funny um you're not let me let me tell you one of my favorite jokes ever all right uh i don't know if't know if I should say who said this to me. I may have already said this publicly, but I don't want to drag anybody. I'll just say this. There was a conservative personality, and I was talking about YouTube demonetization.
Starting point is 01:22:55 And I was like, dude, it's getting really bad, man. I've had videos about just talking regular politics getting demonetized. Even my mom, who makes math videos, is getting kindergarten math videos demonetized. Even my mom, who makes math videos, is getting, like, kindergarten math videos, demonetized. And this person said, Tim, why am I not surprised that your Korean mom makes math videos? And I started laughing. I immediately texted my mom, and I told her that,
Starting point is 01:23:16 and she started busting out laughing. She thought it was hilarious. We loved it. It was a joke. It was like poking fun at the fact that that like like what are you doing you're playing to the stereotype i thought it was hilarious yeah don't don't say the name those sjw cairns are gonna they would flock they're they're clearly looking for their next victim now that jimmy fallon already apologized man i remember i remember when we had real liberals
Starting point is 01:23:41 like the actual heart of the word believing in in freedom. And we so so I've always explained to people like I'm not a classical liberal. I'm a social liberal. OK. And social liberals are center left and classical liberals are center right. Social liberal means you do think so. Classical liberals tend to think government shouldn't play a role in like social programs and services. And social liberals tend to think they should.
Starting point is 01:24:04 It's really there's very little dissimilar, you know. in like social programs and services and social liberals tend to think they should it's it's really there's very little dissimilar you know so i look at uh certain issues with when we have like in chicago these clear lines of separation based on race and i'm like we got to change the policy on this thing right yes like we need to figure out why this is bad but you got to be careful with it because if it goes if it runs if you if you don't plan ahead properly, you make everything worse. And that's why I think I can respect a lot of people who are like government get hands off because otherwise you make the problem worse. But then I think the counterargument is it runs wild. It can get worse too.
Starting point is 01:24:35 I feel like it's run wild for so long. That's where we're at right now though. Why can't we just be a group of people who are center left, center right know maybe maybe left and right all laughing at dave chappelle having a good time and telling everyone else to go after themselves and let the extremists you know the left has been taken over by these people who won't accept that we like uh kevin hart we like dave chappelle we like kanye west you know what i mean because there's people among all groups that are not emotionally stable so their emotions take over and they're they re at the top of their lungs you know i think it i think it breaks their power structure
Starting point is 01:25:12 like they need to be victims it's like the karen who feigns victimhood yeah to gain that power and i'm gonna do a quick shout out because i know there's gonna be people on the left who are like all they're doing is ragging on the left while they're talking about racism. What about the white supremacists? Like what? All ten of them? Please spare me dude. When you let me know when there's an actual group of like legit racist white supremacists controlling
Starting point is 01:25:36 major news networks taking over the movie industry. It's like I'm not concerned about the fact that I think it was the ADL or whatever or the ACLU or whatever organization said there's 10,000 white supremacists in this country. 10,000? 10,000. That's it.
Starting point is 01:25:51 So Vox. I mean, that's already too many, but at the same time, that's like a small amount. Go. I have an article in front of me because I was actually curious about this. I remember this number. The number is nine. Nine is the number of people who showed up at a KKK rally in Dayton, Ohio. They were drowned out by 600
Starting point is 01:26:08 protesters. That was the KKK. I remember this. Yeah, it was last year. It's awesome. Yeah, it's great. Oh, you want to rally? Bring it on. Props to those 600 people because they're the ones that are winning that war.
Starting point is 01:26:23 Keep it peaceful and protest and counter-protest. I'm fine with it but there's been a lot of a lot of escalating violence and stuff okay they're white supremacists man they exist and you know what maybe out of that calculation of 10 000 or whatever there's even more who just don't say it vox tried running an article claiming that like 10 million people secretly hold these views too and it's like shut up dude as far as the dear person says most gamers are white supremacists yeah see they all kind of think that and yet there's only 10,000 in the states
Starting point is 01:26:52 what is it like it's like you know deflect you make the victim the oppressor and vice versa they're the ones who are given the positions of authority at these companies to ban people to silence people they're the ones who are in academic institutions determining you know the way that news organizations to be writing their articles they're the ones who are running these big tech companies
Starting point is 01:27:14 silencing voices they don't like twitter is not run by white supremacists that the you know the discourse on the platform is not heavily in favor of that, not at all. And it's like they're literally the villains of our video games. Yeah. So it's like, you want to tell me, you know, no, I'm sorry, dude. My complaint is with you, your dogmatic religion, because you're purposefully making things worse. I think they do it on purpose. They use it as a power system.
Starting point is 01:27:39 They need to maintain power and balance to solidify their position above yep while pretending like they're actually trying to fix things that's it right meanwhile like growing up on the south side being poor it's like we're all in the gutter together man we fight together exactly it's it's funny like there's this clip going viral and we should definitely we gotta go to super chats after this these kids in venice beach california they're all shoveling and bucketing the sand out so for those that don't know the city of venice dumped Venice dumped tons of sand into the skate park to stop kids from skating because of lockdown. Yep. All these people show up with buckets and they start shoveling all of the sand out recently.
Starting point is 01:28:15 And somebody commented, they were like, wow, people of all races and genders working together peacefully and doing things together. I'm like, yeah, normal people, dude. Yes, exactly. This freaky, freaky world. Normal people. Right, exactly. The average person is exactly that group of skateboarders. It wasn't even skateboarders. It was regular people, too. You had women. You had some dudes. People were like, I want to help. I worked on Venice Beach for a while at Arbor Skateboards. Shout out to Arbor.
Starting point is 01:28:41 Mad people came in and out of that store. I would take lunch and walk a stroll down Venice. There was people of all shapes and sizes and colors and everything. Everyone was happy. I mean, it's sunny. It's a beautiful, beautiful place also. But there was no, I mean, everyone was cool. Everyone would, hey, what up?
Starting point is 01:28:57 No matter who it is, if you say that to someone, unless, I mean, maybe tourists would be like, someone's talking to me. But if it was a local they would say what up if these if these like social justice type people and they're like racial views or whatever you brought them to my neighborhood growing up people would hate them yeah absolutely hate them they'd be like yo why are you trying to make us fight each other man that's exactly it like we're we're all like me like we had a group of friends they were all different races and we were all poor we were all poor together and so like uh man i got stories of people
Starting point is 01:29:30 scamming taco bell so we could all eat like nobody had money it was people partying nobody had jobs it was the south side of chicago nobody like it i was on the southwest i don't know pretend like it was like i don't want to pretend it was the worst place of the worst they were they were definitely middle class people living down there but as poor kids hanging, trying to figure out how we're going to get that Taco Bell and Mountain Dew after our session, we would go panhandling. We'd be like standing by the train being like, yo, can we get some money for the train? And it was equalizing. It was like we were all just buddies.
Starting point is 01:29:57 And if you mess with any one of our friends, the funniest thing, like we fight you. One of the funniest things I always bring up is that we had one friend who would call everybody by their racial slur okay straight up i can't even say the words they would say but he would call me by the korean slur he would call the you know mexican kid by the mexican slur he'd call everybody and nobody cared it was funny he was like cartman and it was just like we knew he wasn't trying to actually disparage us over our race it was like there's this um there's a meme it's a comic of two guys and and there's three guys one guy's leaving and two guys and they say like you know die a-hole you know f you you know you know i can't repeat what the meme is but it's like
Starting point is 01:30:37 really awful things okay and then as soon as the guy's gone the two guys go he's a really cool dude yeah he's actually pretty cool yeah then the women are like, bye, honey. Bye, sweetheart. And then when she leaves, they're like, what an awful slut. Such a horrible person. But the point is, we were a group of dudes, and we would rag on each other all the time in the worst possible ways. And it actually brought us together that we all had our, I guess, slur that we were called, so nobody cared.
Starting point is 01:31:00 Yeah, man. I guess to wrap this up, and then we'll jump to Super Chats. All these stories together. We had Jimmy Fallon doing blackface, we had the two Karens in New York City, and then we had this dude who lost his life. I don't agree with you, man. I'm not as hopeful that it's going away. Honestly, after this whole thing, maybe you're right. I have certain circles. I don't spend time in these kind of places that this kind of stuff happens. I might be oblivious of it. So it's like when we go through these kind of stories, it's like, I mean, I did.
Starting point is 01:31:35 I lived in New York. I saw it happen. I saw it happen all the time. So this has just proven to me that it's still happening. Nothing's changing. And it proves to me more that it's still happening nothing's changing and it proves to me more that that it's wrong we we something's off in our society that this is still happening listen here's what i mean what's it is changing but we're replacing the like the supremacy types okay with the dogmatic authoritarian types
Starting point is 01:32:02 the racialists like what These people who make everything have to be about your race. They reduce your character, your life, and your experiences down to just the color of your skin. And it's the same thing to me. It's just... I call these people, they're white supremacists with guilty consciences.
Starting point is 01:32:20 I'll tell you what, man. We gotta get to Superchats, but I had a guy tell me that the concept of time was created by white people and it was oppressive. And it was like, I'm like, bro, bro, bro. Like, dude, I think other cultures understood the concept of like waking up for the harvest and like tending to the cows and chickens
Starting point is 01:32:37 and growing things and doing agriculture. Like these people that I've talked to, a lot of these, you know, these progressive white karen types really do think that literally everything came from them and it's now their sacred duty to hand down the gifts to the poor stupid lowly types oh man and i i can't stand it man when when when these people who i think are lazy and inept it's like man man man trying to imagine someone like i want here's what i want your picture you wake up every day, trying to imagine someone like I want you. Here's what I want
Starting point is 01:33:05 your picture. You wake up every day. You go to work, right? You wake up, you put on your, you put on your clothes and you do some real backbreaking labor and you just work really hard. You don't get paid very much. And you come home to the roommate who's sitting there in their, you know, grease covered body covered in mustard stains, playing video games. And you're like, bro, it's like, you're going to pay the rent. And they're like, listen, dude, you're doing everything all wrong. Like, first of all, this job thing you're doing is a big mistake. And you're like, I'm the one paying rent. I'm the one doing all the work.
Starting point is 01:33:29 How are you going to tell me? And that's what it's like. These people who think they're better than you, who are doing nothing, who are inept, lazy, ignorant, telling you they're smarter than you. And because of that, they pity you. Nah, I'm not a fan of that, man. But I agree. That was a, that was a that was a
Starting point is 01:33:45 shockingly controversial I can't wait for all the clips to come out where they're like yeah that was a heavy episode yeah it was kind of sobering I don't know
Starting point is 01:33:52 I'll just end by saying this man you show me a video of someone having their civil liberties violated I'm straight up I'm this is America bro the state does not have
Starting point is 01:34:01 the authority to kill anybody well okay I take that back they do win the death penalty. What I mean to say is if you're innocent and not proven guilty and they take your life, we got to talk about it. We got to figure this out. We can't have this. It's murder, yo.
Starting point is 01:34:13 Yeah. Well, you got to be careful on that one. All right. Fine. Manslaughter. They killed a guy. They killed a guy. He's dead.
Starting point is 01:34:19 Right. We don't even know if he was guilty or innocent. It doesn't matter. He's innocent. Exactly. That's it. Innocent until proven guilty. That's how we work innocent. It doesn't matter. He's innocent. Exactly. Innocent until proven guilty. That's how we work here. And I'll tell you what, man.
Starting point is 01:34:28 He may have been guilty, but if you kill them before that trial, as far as I'm concerned, you'll never prove him guilty. You'll never prove him guilty. Absolutely. I'm sorry, man. Constitution, English common law, the Fifth Amendment, you have a right to due process. That's true. I took his due process away.
Starting point is 01:34:40 I don't like it. So they killed an innocent man then? Yeah. Right. Simply put. Yeah. Right. Simply put. Yeah. I got, man, I cannot stand how we live in a country where if you're arrested, people assume you're guilty. Yeah, I don't like that.
Starting point is 01:34:52 It's the same thing with false accusations. Right. You know, you had that guy, what was his name? Hardwick or whatever. Chris Hardwick, I think. Sounds familiar. He got falsely accused of something or other. Gets taken off his show.
Starting point is 01:35:06 Investigate. Turns out nothing happened. It's like, don't presume guilt. Presume innocence. No, he did get his show back, didn't he? Oh, he did? Yeah, I'm pretty sure he did. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Starting point is 01:35:14 That's what they do. They presume guilt now. It ends you. Everybody does in various ways. It's true. So I see this. I'm not going to assume that guy was innocent or guilty, except for the fact that we have the presumption of innocence.
Starting point is 01:35:24 So I default to innocence. Sorry, man. This dude wasn't fighting. I don't know, man. I see a guy who's saying, please, I can't breathe, and he's not resisting. It's kind of like, if I was going to die, wouldn't you resist? This guy didn't even do that.
Starting point is 01:35:40 Man. But I guess it's time to take super chats because we went long on that one. This was brutal. Heavy. Sometimes it's time to take super chats because we went long on that one. Yes, indeed. This was brutal. Heavy. Yeah. Sometimes it's got to happen. Yeah, man. But now we're going to jump to your super chats,
Starting point is 01:35:52 so make sure you smash that like button if you haven't already or if you don't like our opinions on this matter because this was a very contentious issue. I agree. I simply ask that you argue with us. Yes. You know, because I see there's a lot of comments and a lot of people have different opinions,
Starting point is 01:36:04 and I respect all of your opinions. I don't think either of us know everything. You know, because I see there's a lot of comments and a lot of people have different opinions. I respect all of your opinions. I don't think either of us know everything. We just see what we see. I will be the first to admit it. Yeah. So all you got to do is enter your arguments
Starting point is 01:36:13 into the Super Chat and we'll do our best to read through them. Keeping in mind, we went long. I'm going to try and read as many as we can, but we probably won't
Starting point is 01:36:19 get to everybody. But we will get through most of the list. So at a certain point, we start moving up in terms of larger super chats. I really don't like doing it that way, to be honest. I don't like – it just seems gross,
Starting point is 01:36:31 but I really don't know how else to delineate between how we speed things up. It's supposed to be a two-hour show, but we keep going over. I mean, I'm cool with it. We do what we can, yeah. A side note, I have new pants. They're awesome. He does. Okay. He's talking about them. I'm bringing it up because I'm actually wearing a different shirt, we can yeah um a side note i have new pants they're awesome he does okay he's that's it that's
Starting point is 01:36:45 just i'm bringing it up they're great because i'm actually wearing a different shirt different pants and no one said how many people notice you think i know i know whoever sees your pants where people but he is wearing a different shirt though yeah it's thinner it's summer you know so the one thing that is different is the lighter gray in the inner collar i don't know if anyone noticed it but but... Yeah. I got these really nice pants. Their stretch jeans are awesome. Anyway, David says,
Starting point is 01:37:10 if you all do make decks, can you do a longboard as well? Move to Syracuse Skate Park by Lake, vegan pizza and vegan milkshakes, or bubble tea on me? Ooh. Longboards are harder, though, because classic skateboards all come in the same shape,
Starting point is 01:37:23 so it's a lot easier because the molds are all the same well relatively you know a longboard requires a specific mold to be built tested make sure i actually did um i did a lot of this when i was working at arbor i actually helped design a board of theirs and so i know the process it's a lot it's a lot heavier process to make a longboard deck than a skateboard deck so Well, I'm hoping to get two different sizes for skateboards. We'll figure it out. I'm talking with the company. Might be really cool.
Starting point is 01:37:51 I got to test the boards, but I think they'll work out. I'm skeptical, though, because I really like anti-hero and real. So we'll see. I don't know what company they're going to source them from, so we'll have to figure it out. I hear your chat. Grim Soul Banish says, spin the UFO. Oh.

Evan says, Tim, to answer your big tech question, consider looking at Purism's Librem 5 phone. The components are open sourced and 90% made in the USA. I'll be getting mine in August.

Sounds more fun. James Merriweather says, If you guys don't know, you may want to look into the case of Hannah Kimura as it revolves around her receiving death and rape.

The Russian song Uno is such a meme. No, I haven't. Oh no, I totally forgot. Where was Epic Sax from? Remember Epic Sax? No. You remember Epic Sax. No, I haven't. Oh, no. I totally forgot.

And then on Spotify, you can, I'm sorry, not on Spotify, on every other platform, you can also find the Tim Pool Daily Show, which is my personal content. That goes up at 6.30pm every day. DarkRenji said,
Starting point is 01:44:23 I recently started skating again, and I'm having some issues. When I ollie the board, it does pop off the ground, but it's a bit low. Do you have any advice for a cubby guy? Do you mean chubby or cubby? I don't know what that is. Also, board recommendations. Well, if you can pop off the ground
Starting point is 01:44:39 a little bit, repetition. Repetition. Repetition. That's how you get the muscle memory to be able to do an ollie without thinking about it. And that's really what you want. So, I mean, I would recommend doing it while rolling forward slowly. Don't do it on the grass. You're just stunting your growth. You know, go roll forward a little bit because you want to be able to catch the landing
Starting point is 01:45:01 and know what it means to regain your balance once you land. That's really important also. So make sure you're practicing that. Word. Ajit Ajit says, spending this $10 to virtue signal how fantastic my sourdough bread is. Also, Adam need to bake or else he isn't a real man. I've baked. I've baked in the past.

I mean that figuratively. Attitude in Action says, what do you call a group of Karens? A complaint or a privilege? There's a bunch of different jokes about it on HOA.
Starting point is 01:46:58 What does it stand for? Homeowners Association. Yeah, Homeowners Association. HOA. No, you can't paint your house. David says, sent link to you at Adam G via Twitter on the George Floyd case. Four cops linked to the case were fired from Minneapolis PD. Oh, yeah, I'll take this opportunity to say you can follow me on Twitter and Instagram at Timcast. And you can also follow Adam at Adam Krrigler, but you can send him stories.
Starting point is 01:47:26 He's basically the story collector. So you can send him all the stuff on Twitter and tip stories, and we use them. And Lydia... Oh, hold on. This is me. At Sour Patch Lids. And I really like talking to people.
Starting point is 01:47:41 And she posts spicy memes. I do have memes. Cirilio says, never been this early. It feels good. Appreciate it, man. Patrick McEneman says, the gender neutral Karen is Cooper. If we get rid of Karen, yeah, it's Cooper. Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah.
Starting point is 01:47:55 That's interesting. If we got rid of Karen, it would help quite the feminists. That's interesting because both their names were Cooper. Yeah. Could be. Yeah. Let's see. Peericent says, I just got to work yesterday on adding some guitar solos to your guys's songs it's been a lot of fun i can't wait for this friday i'll get in touch with adam when i have

Yikes, man. Oh, man. Wow. Alex says, I hope you would consider Southwest Ohio. We have a lot of resources and open spaces.
Starting point is 01:48:38 Did you guys see the lady driven out of the store because she wasn't wearing a mask? I believe it was in New York. Creepy. New York City. New York City. Where they're all yelling yeah that's the shame shame david says thanks guys best part of my day appreciate it mark robertshaw says what would you do if your friend or wife or partner was held down by the police and died what would you do would you fight or would you do nothing that's a strong question yep exactly the most shocking thing to me about
Starting point is 01:49:05 the story is that people are standing around watching a guy die and they're like man what are you doing that's not cool and they just don't do anything and it's scary that what are you supposed to do fight a cop even if you do save that man's life they'll be then then like here's a thing if you see a cop with a knee on someone's neck and you know they're gonna die if you save that person's life then you're gonna get arrested know they're going to die, if you save that person's life, then you're going to get arrested and they're going to say, nobody died, what are you talking about? It was standard procedure.
Starting point is 01:49:29 It's a good point. All you do is assault a cop. So then people stand back and do nothing. Now a guy's dead. That's why what you said earlier, they need to be held at a higher, you need to be held accountable, but what did you say?
Starting point is 01:49:42 Higher standard. A higher standard. What I mean by that is not so much there would be different rules applied to them, just that we would take a very hard look at everything they do and it would be less lenient. It would be more strict and by the book. Yeah. That should be the case. If a kid trespasses, then we can say, don't ever do it again. Here's a warning.
Starting point is 01:49:59 If a cop does it, we say, bro, you can't break the law, so you're getting a hard fine. We take it seriously if you're supposed to be the person not enforcing the laws. But I understand it's, in all things, nuance, right? Like, sometimes cops are trespassing, so that analogy may not work. Let's see. Dekillik says, what does it say? I don't know. I can't read it.
Starting point is 01:50:23 Sorry, man. I will not smash the like button. This phone was too expensive. I will tap it, though. Hey, thank you. I can't read it. Sorry, man. I will not smash the like button. This phone was too expensive. I will tap it, though. Hey, thank you. Lightly take your mouse. We accept taps. Lightly tap. Light taps. I suppose I'll like it. One little doop, please. Talbot says,

Would you ever consider moving to a more lax state so you could as well? Yes, indeed. Absolutely. Joseph says, been watching since saw you on Rogan a few weeks back. Keep up the great work. Need more independent news voices. Mainstream news is now partisan trash. It is, but I mean, I'm not going to, like, I have my biases, I guess. But I also think maybe I'm a
Starting point is 01:52:00 bit more self-deprecating because I don't actually watch all the other partisans. So maybe that plays a role in it. Alex says, love the show. Question for Adam. Have you read Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand? She lays out an argument for the morality of selfishness and even profits. No, I haven't. Interesting. You gotta play Bioshock. Okay. You should play Bioshock, dude.

Bioshock is a legend man beautiful kubu's and and bioshock infinite is also really good i i'm not a big fan of the ones in between i didn't play bioshock 2 and whatever else was in there because it was kind of like a rehash i don't know bioshock 1 and bioshock infinite do really great cultural critique kind of like i don't know man it's cool it's cool all right kaboos says book series recommendation gaunt's ghosts you're writing it down no i'm not familiar with it

Starting point is 01:53:49 once a week and take that trash away. Oh my gosh, we'd be drowning. Seriously. The Buzz says, I lost all respect for Jimmy Fallon after he apologized for having Trump on his show. Yeah, that was so dumb. He apologized for having Trump on his show? He was humanizing Donald Trump.
Starting point is 01:54:01 What? Didn't Colbert do it? Didn't Colbert have him on? I don't remember. And they were treating him like a normal guy? He said, I'm sorry for it also?
Starting point is 01:54:08 Yeah, something like that. Yeah. People are nuts. And it's like, didn't he grab his hair? He did. He touched his hair. To prove it was real.
Starting point is 01:54:15 And everyone's clapping and cheering and loving it. That's kind of funny. Yeah, I know. It is. But he is a human. Do they not recognize this? I guess not.
Starting point is 01:54:24 They don't care. Orange man bed. Yikes. Probably matters. James, let's see, says, It's a bit of a drive, but Upstate SC is doing pretty good as far as climate goes with the mountains blocking a lot of the really bad weather.

Starting point is 01:55:07 would be like the soundtrack of hell, all the more reason to do it. Gentlemen, Kaiju says, just wanted to thank you for your work. I'm also politically homeless and you make me feel less alone and not crazy for having a different opinion. Yeah, right on, man.

Red Bike Master says, have you guys started building your immunity to hydroxychloroquine yet that meme was amazing Matthew thanks for the super chat Wolf Spain says hey Tim Lydia and Soy Jesus with the lack of emotional intelligence
Starting point is 01:55:36 cause much of the modern problems and confrontations we have today and how do we break that platform or how do we break that problem man I don't know yeah I think so. There's a big part of that that emotional intelligence has a lot to do with it. How do you teach people to be emotionally intelligent? That's it.
Starting point is 01:55:54 Where do you start? By talking about it right now. Right now. Here we are. Well, this is what Adam was talking about. You're talking about how we have to go to the bottom and change everything. We have to change the way we eat and the way we think and everything we do. And you have to change the way you raise your kids, too.
Starting point is 01:56:10 Schools can't teach that. Everything is messed up. That's one of the things. The whole world. For sure. Emotional intelligence is essential. All right. Let's see.
Starting point is 01:56:18 Where are we at? Leapman says, this weekend, some guy from UConn CT cut off some people's limbs. He then held my uncle at machete point, took his gun, struck and tied him up. Wow. weekend some guy from Yukon CT cut off some people's limbs.

Yikes, dude.
Starting point is 01:56:35 I hope everybody's okay. I mean, obviously not everybody's okay, but... I hope they catch him. Ricky Tabby says, you need to interview Kurt Doolittle or John Mark. What is it? Propertarianism? Propertarianism. Ideology is very spicy and seems to be catching on.
Starting point is 01:56:50 Interesting. Morph1 says, Heard you guys talk about the Witcher game. Try the third one best RPG I've played in a long time. You ever play it? No, me neither. No. I played it for like 15 minutes and then stopped.
Starting point is 01:57:02 And then just never felt like picking it back up. I don't know why I never played the Witcher games. They look like something I would like. Vulcan says, Any advice for a beginner just getting into skateboarding? Have been using a longboard previously for transportation but would like to get into tricks? You can get a longboard that is good for tricking.
Starting point is 01:57:18 I guess if you want to do shortboarding, the only advice I have is to watch skate videos. Watch skate videos. You really get inspired by seeing other people do stuff. The best advice, though, is to go get the skateboard and just start riding it. The more you do that, the more comfortable you're going to get
Starting point is 01:57:36 and then that's it. It just takes dedication as most things. Just practice, practice, practice. Yes. Alright, let's see where we're at. Mavros says, as a person from Portland, Portlandia is both inaccurate but too accurate at the same time. GA says, NY local news gave dog park Karens more time
Starting point is 01:57:56 than the Long Islanders wanting accountability for the nursing homes. Really, this is the media. I know, man. I can't believe we talked about it. Like everyone, I mean. It's ridiculous. Christian Robertson says, love you guys. Best trio ever. Wanted to ask, what's your

Andrew Holker says everybody in Minneapolis is protesting tonight. Both sides absolutely hate MSPD, who has been notoriously bad for years. Wouldn't be surprised if this boiled over into something similar to the L.A. riots. Wow, man. Oh, man.
Starting point is 02:01:01 Both sides, though? I mean, I am like when the Ahmaud Arbery thing happened, I was actually disappointed conservatives were jumping on the bandwagon. With this story, though, and this video so far, I gotta admit, I'm actually inspired to see unity from, like, every faction. Conservative, libertarian, progressive, liberal. Everybody's like, yo, dude. Thousands are marching.

Let me speak to your manager. So loud it shatters windows. Yes. Didactic says, Men can be Karens too.
Starting point is 02:05:03 It's non-binary. Dan Rowland says twitter equals socially acceptable fortune with slightly fewer naughty words allowed how viable are its competitors for trump to be on that platforms to to be to be that platforms rogan yeah jeffrey says want to send a karen into outrage overload show them the show drawn together it was more offensive than south park dude and I've never seen that. It was. I can't remember. There was something that.
Starting point is 02:05:27 So Tara Strong is a voice actress and she's like, I'm pretty sure she's like super anti-Trump. Okay. And some controversy happened because the characters she voiced are ridiculously offensive. Like it's really bad stuff. Yeah. Super, super bad. Jesse Clark says, drinking every time one of you says, Karen, I think I got to call in sick tomorrow. Amen.
Starting point is 02:05:46 Sorry about that. It was your choice. That's a dangerous play right there. Ant says, A male Karen is a Dwight. Oh. Anthony says, What do you all think of the voting age being lower to 16?
Starting point is 02:05:56 I think the Heroes Act is trying to do that. Wait, what? What, really? All right, I'm Googling that. That's not good. 16-year-olds should not vote. Oh, man. All right, 16-year-olds shouldn't vote. 16-year-olds shouldn't vote.
Starting point is 02:06:05 That doesn't make sense. They don't know. They're going to vote for whatever their parents tell them to vote for. Whatever they're feeling. They're going to vote for the popular Democrat young celebrity type. That's what they do. They're going to vote for not responsibility. They're going to be like,
Starting point is 02:06:21 dude, it's so dumb. The government should just give people houses. That's so stupid. It's like, dude, it's so dumb. Like the government should just like give people houses. Like that's so stupid, you know? It's like, bro, what? Dude, where are we at? Freedom says, have you read? Have you ever read Lenin's State and Revolution? It could be written today.
Starting point is 02:06:36 Interesting. I have not. Christian, have you guys seen the Twitter fact check on Trump tweet about mail-in voting? Is that not actually election meddling? I think it may be. The Washington Post doesn't just automatically become the arbiter of truth. Just because they say Trump's lying, it's a difficult position because, yeah, Trump's wrong a lot. But why does Twitter give the authority to a private company to determine what truth is?
Starting point is 02:07:01 Why does Twitter have that authority? Beverly Lee says says first ten dollar message didn't go through what the internet has done is allowed the karens to unionize also the plural of carolyn's is a cacophony of karens i like that one not bad midland says instead of jerry we can use sheldon for male karen q brother soul star says look up corner store caroline epic karen incident aaron r says when y'all getting crowder on your show, then they would definitely brand you as far right. Well, you know, he's got his own show, you know what I mean?
Starting point is 02:07:32 Logan says, I think racism will stick around, not because anyone is actually racist, but because racism is the easiest thing to get people to rally against. Sarise, Karen, quote, why aren't you wearing your mask? Me. You wouldn't ask me that if I was a straight white male out of Karen out Karen, the Karens crackpot says you will never get rid of racism.
Starting point is 02:07:52 It's too profitable for sure. Bro Cody says in reference to Karens and cancel culture, Maximilian D. Robespierre would bring about the execution of thousands of innocent people before he himself fell victim to the guillotine on January on July 28th, 1794. Yeah. Yeah. What an idiot. The Hylian Juggalo says, Tim, yesterday when you talked about how millennials never learned any skills, check the importance of civil society by political juice. I'd love to see you guys watch it and give your thoughts. Will do. Sarah Hill says, these Karens are perpetuating racism and sexism. They definitely are. Our future MD says, black guy here. Yes, the FedEx thing was racist. If I was working in
Starting point is 02:08:28 a neighborhood, it's not your right to stop me and question me like you are the cops. Well, I think the issue there was that they were on his lawn and he was like, yo, get off my lawn. But ultimately the issue is we don't know who started what. That's why I think it's like, if I just see two people fighting in a video, I'm not going to immediately be like racism, you know? Andrew Mason says, Amy Cooper was privileged peacocking, basically saying because I'm white and you're black, that if I call the police, you'll be the one in trouble. And I agree with that, actually. Like she was basically it sounded like she was making a threat, you know, like she thought he was going to scare him by saying his race. Kent says COVID brought forth an entirely new subspecies of karen's once thought to exist only
Starting point is 02:09:06 in south park episodes right absolutely all right so i hate to do it but i think we're gonna have to start speeding things up because we have much too many super chats and that means we're not going to get through to everybody so i apologize and actually maybe we will i think pretty good i think yeah we're actually doing pretty good yeah yeah okay i'm not gonna speed things i'm gonna keep reading everybody because i think we're doing all right we're actually making good time let's see where are we at lasalle rhyme says welcome back looking forward to you guys this week twitter has gone nuts with censorship completely agree david s says amy cooper tried to weaponize the police that's the problem that's the care earning that's like ultra that's like karen's like ultimate move that's one
Starting point is 02:09:44 of the biggest problems. Oddball says, never mind about the, about the alive Cooper and Chris Cooper. The big victim was the dog strangling to breathe. At least the dog was the victim and all that. Yeah. Oddball says, I meant Amy Cooper. The red bike master says 200 years is a long time to Americans. 200 miles is a long way to Europeans.
Starting point is 02:10:02 As a U.S. trucker, I'm extremely familiar with the size of the U.S. It is big. Let's Europeans. As a U.S. trucker, I'm extremely familiar with the size of the U.S. It is big. Let's see. What does it say? Bujin. Skated through the 80s and early 90s. Love the show. You guys really mesh well together.
Starting point is 02:10:12 To hell with censorship. I think we will all end up with a new platform in the future. Or at least competition. If competition for YouTube emerges, they'll have to back off. True. And things will get better. It feels like that's already happening. Especially with Joe's move to Spotify. Even though Al owns spotify i guess right is that what you do
Starting point is 02:10:29 they it's true yeah well whatever same company yep character says he uses treats to flirt with women perhaps the unrepresented says karen ha wave karen karen ha yep that's dragon ball z all right michael says you should interview Mark Mason. He wrote The Subtle Art of Not Giving an F. It would be a good interview. It would, once this is officially over, the lockdown and everything. Idjit Idjit says, don't be lazy. Like the video.
Starting point is 02:10:54 Everybody hit that like button. It really, really does help. It's important. Let's see. Dakilla Clown. Oh, that's what it says. Dakilla Clown. Karen Ha Me Ha.
Starting point is 02:11:04 JT Brown says, Karen Solution. Outlaw Karens and watch them turn each other in. Oh, that's what it says. The killer clown. Karen Hameha. JT Brown says, Karen solution. Outlaw Karens and watch them turn each other in. Oh, yeah. The Red Bike Match says the FBI is investigating this case now. Yep. Jacob Hill says, as an Australian, I always get a kick out of explaining how big Australia is to Europeans. Their jaws actually drop.
Starting point is 02:11:20 Keep up the good work, Tim and co. Yeah, Australia is like as big as the United States, I'm pretty sure. Yeah, but there's nobody living on the inside. For sure. Right, right. But it's like massive. Yeah. Kyle, thanks for the super chat.
Starting point is 02:11:30 Let's see. Pivot Pie says, the Kelly Thomas case was horrific. The police beat him to death while he was crying out for his dad. The Fullerton PD got off scot-free. That was messed up, dude. That was like the mentally ill guy, I think, too, right? I don't know anything about it. Jabberwolfberwolf says question black man dies at hospital from what was it his injury or what an overdose why would race be an issue i don't know would it
Starting point is 02:11:55 mike depew says hey folks you should move to near rutland ohio we got skate-opia a 90-acre skate park amphitheater and home of the Skateboarding Museum. Skatopia is awesome. I would kind of want to build my own Skatopia. Maybe I'll do that. That'd be fun. Yeah. Troy, thanks for the super chat.
Starting point is 02:12:16 Jordan S. says, I feel like the Central Park chick might commit suicide because of this whole thing. I mean, her life is being destroyed and people are just, like, mocking her. It's ridiculous. Like, dude, I get it. She was nasty, but should her life be completely destroyed over this yeah man come on yeah right bob bobcast 24 ida says you hear the story about the husband of the michigan governor trying to use their position to get their boat ready for the summer despite the michigan lockdown oh yeah definitely
Starting point is 02:12:39 darth zacketh says omg tim on freddie great came out in trial that he was not nickel-rided. They tracked the truck through the city via cameras and nothing could be proven. No way that that wagon knew every camera along the route. Well, there you go. Like I said, I'm sure there was updates that I didn't know about. Graf Von Tyrrell says, funny how stories of police abuse come out of blue cities, ain't it? Exactly. That's my point.
Starting point is 02:13:02 It's like whenever I hear people who are actually someone else i saw this comment and we'll probably get to it someone mentioned that the reason conservatives like defend police is because small town cops are actually good cops who are putting themselves at risk to like defend the community yeah big cities are full of racism corruption cops that just don't care corrupt cops like that's the point right there that's why i'm like don't defend michael bloomberg and stop and frisk that was a gun control measure in an urban city gone wrong and they applied it in racist ways like it's an example of everything wrong with what they claim to be fighting for furby says adam look at kelly thomas white people don't get covered story like
Starting point is 02:13:40 this boil my blood you can't restrict breathing and not expect a struggle instinct overrides rational thought it's not resistance yeah it's a great point kelly thomas was like a like a mentally ill like white dude and they they like killed him it was it was brutal oh yeah daniel hawk says five white three black two hispanic more accurate numbers socialism is for figs says go to a police training course and be put under stress and see how hard it is adam then you can tell us how to be police i'm not trying to tell anyone to be a police training course and be put under stress and see how hard it is, Adam. Then you can tell us how to be police. I'm not trying to tell anyone to be a police officer. I certainly am not.
Starting point is 02:14:09 I've met great police officers, and I know that police officers meet resistance that people might actually have guns, and they're taught that. So they have to go into situations. I get that. I understand. I'm not trying to tell anyone how to how to do anything i'm just giving you my opinion john hash says did you guys see see the story of the world war one memorial in pittsburgh being vandalized yeah on veterans day wow was that recently yeah this is yes or not sorry not veterans memorial day wow yesterday i will also add that i assure you on
Starting point is 02:14:42 this show if we say something and you disagree, you can comment, you can super chat, and we'll do our best to get to it. So typically we've had a series of people who have super chatted saying, like, here's why you're wrong, and we read it out. We want to make sure. Like, we're not here to shut anybody down. We have thoughts, and you guys do. Yeah, and honestly, that's part of being a human is understanding that you can be wrong. It's okay to be wrong. Everyone is wrong at some point.
Starting point is 02:15:08 And recognizing that and being okay with being wrong. You'll never improve yourself if you refuse to read new information. That's also part of the issue. People need to understand it's okay to be wrong. I realize what I need to do. From now on, when I see a super chat that contradicts me, I'm going to say, let me stop you right there. I don't need to read your idea, okay? I know.
Starting point is 02:15:28 I'm kidding. I'm kidding. Please don't do that. Okay, Karen. No, we will read the super... We will read your super chats. John says... We read that one. Sorry. Let's see. Lane, Kyrie. As someone attacked by loose dogs many times, I think he's had that happen before. A good way to
Starting point is 02:15:43 distract a potentially aggressive dog is to throw treats at their face. Still creepy, he tried to lure the dog away, not okay. That's a really good point, actually, yeah. Well, and Central Park, there's many, many people
Starting point is 02:15:53 that go through there. If he lives near Central Park and he goes to Central Park to bird watch, then that makes total sense. Yeah. Jones Bergen says, I have personally seen
Starting point is 02:16:01 more than one person falsely accused. It can take up to two years to get a trial. Yeah, dude. It's messed up. I know people personally. Let's say, was it C. Collins? Everyone roasting Adam in the chat have clearly never been to NYC. A lot of the cops here are prejudice.
Starting point is 02:16:17 Not all, but enough to where it's a major problem. One only has to look at how they treated people during the pandemic. Like, dude, where we lived, they had floodlights set up surrounding people's, like, this apartment complex. Yeah, patrolling the neighborhoods. But only those neighborhoods. Exactly. They called it
Starting point is 02:16:37 occupied. Like, facetiously, like, it's an occupied neighborhood because the police were on every single corner. Every single one. And so it's like, I look out my window, right right across the street there's floodlights everywhere all the time i'm like it's it's ridiculous i guess people were roasting me that's not that's great thanks guys nicely roasted junk says soy jesus don't let the worst examples drown out the best of us we can call out the real racist and not and not racialize it okay paulo duarte the problem is the lack of social skill social
Starting point is 02:17:05 skills training in the police force i think they've tried you know they've done community policing like you've got the community community division in new york but that doesn't do anything yeah what is it called community affairs yeah and it's not like i'm saying all every single police officer in new york city is a bad police officer that's ridiculous it's this simple man i've explained this to people if you live in a small town of several hundred people, a few thousand people, you get pulled over and the sheriff walks into the car and he sees it's Bob's kid. And he goes, aren't you Bob's kid? Yes, sir. And you're speeding. Well, I'm going to be down at the bar later. I'm going to see your dad. It's like, please don't tell my dad. It's like, well, then don't speed. It's like,
Starting point is 02:17:40 I'm so sorry. Okay, get out of here. The kid never speeds again. Right. Or he's very much more cautious in a city. You're not speeding. You get pulled over. This happened to me. I wasn't speeding. I get pulled over and you know, I do everything right. Turn the radio off, take the keys off, pull the keys out, put it up on my hands and the thing at my wall right there. Cop walks up and I say, you know, evening officer. And he goes, you know, I pulled you over. I was like, I don't. And he's like, you were speeding. I wasn't actually, I was exiting off Lake Shore drive. So i was actually slowing down he goes tell to a judge license and gave my stuff he wrote a ticket and said sign it
Starting point is 02:18:09 and i was like but i wasn't speeding and he goes you're signing for acknowledgement of receipt if you don't send it i'll arrest you i was like okay and i signed it and as soon as i did they suspended my lessons and i wasn't speeding welcome to chicago i i had a i was i was uh i think that was a quota thing i just don't think he cares yeah maybe i was sleeping in my car once i had i had uh i worked a double shift i got off and i had to drive like two hours back and i was drowsy and i was like man i better pull off on a side street pull up on a side street lean back in my chair i wake up to a cop putting a ticket on my car i wasn't illegally parked he just made it up and i'm like i'm like i look at him as he's doing it i'm like yo i'm sitting right here he goes oh i didn't notice and i was like yeah i just pulled over i don't want to crash and he goes like
Starting point is 02:18:52 well you know you can uh you can pay it or you can contest it and i was like whoa what i was like bro what and he was like bye that was it i mean i i know for a fact they need to meet their quotas yep yeah yep well they claim they don't have them, but they're lying. A cop straight up told me. He straight up looked at me and said, I need to fill my quota. Wow. He was giving me a ticket for skateboarding. Oh, my gosh.
Starting point is 02:19:17 What? Because they make money. It's like part of their budget. There was a funny thing that happened in New York where they were like, they were facing a budget shortfall because they didn't have enough crimes being committed. You know what, man? This is so gross, dude. All right, let's see where we're at.
Starting point is 02:19:31 Marshall Levine says, I'm in Minnesota. If there was any question that the cops had done nothing wrong, they'd be on administrative leave. The PD cut them loose to save the department. Ooh, wow. That's a good point. Now, Wayne, it sets a bad precedent to have badly trained cops definitely yep joseph says do you know the difference between police and peace officers no i don't bobcat says bad cops make the job a lot more dangerous for the good cops we have the
Starting point is 02:19:57 same problem in the military with idiots turning communities against us totally totally hear you man makes sense socialism says adam and tim go on live leak there are a lot of white deletion there are a lot of white deletions on on there way more than black i don't know what does that what does that mean delusions or what deletions like videos deleted i guess okay so no this is not racism it's division of class and community and a lot of the stress comes from gang problems i'll tell you what. There's a comic that goes around every so often, and I believe it. It's a picture of people outside of a window
Starting point is 02:20:29 holding up signs saying Occupy Wall Street. So it's a guy in a very fancy building. It's like poofy chair at his desk, and he's like a CEO or something. Outside the window, you see protesters, Occupy Wall Street, and then he says, and then he's on the phone smugly saying, introduce them to identity politics.
Starting point is 02:20:47 Oh, man. Yep. It worked. Occupy Wall Street had people of all different backgrounds protesting against the big banks, the bailouts, all the problems. And then all of a sudden, a bunch of young people came up and started blaming the white people. And the conservatives and libertarians were gone.
Starting point is 02:21:00 And then it got taken over by young socialists. And that was it. Yep. Big Ben says, after Garner became popular to shout, I i can't breathe to try and get a chance to get away get a crowd to help or to attack the officer doesn't matter if somebody can't breathe you got to make sure they can you're taking responsibility for their life that would be what i would say if i couldn't breathe i'm just saying exactly so you can't make those assumptions not only that the dude died the guy's knee was in his neck yeah it was like okay it could have made sense could have moved yeah he could have asked
Starting point is 02:21:30 for help and said hey we got to move this guy i got arrested briefly at a protest in st louis the cops cuffed me as tight as they possibly could and my hands were turning red and so i just kept saying pardon me sir excuse me officer pardon me finally one guy, like a younger guy who was like clearly not a high ranking dude. I was like, the cuffs are cutting my circulation. Would it be possible if you just lose them a little bit? And he was like, oh, I'll see what I can do. And then the guy in charge walked over, came up and loosened them a little bit and walked away. And I was like, I don't know what that means.
Starting point is 02:22:00 All I know is like they didn't care when they applied them. And it can cause permanent damage if they leave them that way i was lucky enough that they but then eventually like half an hour later they came back and they're like who are you what are you doing i'm a journalist they looked at my wall and then they took them off and told me to get that you know get out character says adam check out brandon tatum on the rubin report he is a black former cop think you could appreciate his perspective on policing cool Cool. Thank you. Emo to Drum says, Jimmy Fallon, Jimmy Kimmel are both trash TV. Rather they be replaced with any of the Timcast, Tim Pool channels. Get Kyle Kalinske on your show.
Starting point is 02:22:32 Kyle's awesome. I'd love to, but, you know, lockdown. So Sun Cormac says, Tim, the viral video is not from the media. How can you say it's what the media wants you to see? Most black brutality is from private citizens video. It's because companies like the Huffington Post, like Vox, like BuzzFeed, and now this and Al Jazeera recut them and repost them over and over and over and over again. So we do see citizens posting these videos. And then you see people's bias playing to who gets
Starting point is 02:23:00 the video shared or not. I actually saw it scrolled across my phone because I get all the app alerts. I actually saw a headline from I think it was Huffington Post and said she knew exactly what she was doing. And I was like, I know exactly what you're talking about and I know what you're doing there. So thanks for that. All right. Let's see. Where are we at? Where are we at?
Starting point is 02:23:16 We had a bunch of super chats popping up. Here we go. Aaron Cowell says, Jordan Fowler says, Tim and friends, would you be willing to elaborate further on how your political views have changed, if at all, over the last four years? I've moved more towards Second Amendment. And that's probably it, to be honest. Actually, no, I think a little bit less away from universal health care, because I was very much in favor of it. Now I'm, like, tacitly in favor of it.
Starting point is 02:23:47 I just don't think it's possible and the second amendment opinion of mine changed mostly because someone made a comment about the constitution you can't pick and choose which amendments you want to protect and i was like that's actually a really good point so i'm gonna back off on that one you know i don't know i don't i don't think i've mind have changed at all yeah what about and you're just i moved a little bit left oh look at that yeah blue pilling all right where are we at wolf spain says as a black man in the south i'm mad but i know that this is used to manipulate the community it doesn't do anybody good to go into an unbridled rage my uncle told me you have to be angry but informed it's a good point absolutely be informed aaron j says must read starship troopers i'm a day late the filmmakers hated
Starting point is 02:24:24 the libertarian philosophy of the book, but were forced to make the movie before the studio's option expired and turned it into a joke. Wow. Madden said, there are protests ramping up in Minnesota after an incident last night that resulted in the death of a black man. The four officers involved were fired, but the family has stated that it's not enough. I agree. It's not enough.
Starting point is 02:24:43 I agree with the family. Yeah. Yep. Common Core says we need better ways to steer youths away from gang culture. That I understand
Starting point is 02:24:51 and completely agree with. True. Skateboarding. Paul O'Doherty says in England they stop the stop and search and the crime is on the roof and they spend millions of pounds
Starting point is 02:25:01 in a dedicated police force to control social media. Priorities, man. Big Ben says, within reason. Screw you, Tim. The founding fathers made it clear. I'm entitled to my 40 millionaire Beaufort's care and free zone for kilometers. All right.
Starting point is 02:25:16 What is this? Kasperius says, you can say his name. Crowder would approve. Party says, gamer pride worldwide. Bloody Bleeder says, black guy black guy here adam you're way off base get some black guests who have a better perspective larry elder thomas sowell jim brown 90s chris rock we will travel back in time and find chris rock in the 90s to bring him just i wish we could get these people to be honest these are like the biggest names man that'd be
Starting point is 02:25:39 amazing so fun chris rock that'd be awesome sibrel the dog lady. It was racial because she called 911 and said it was a black man attacking her. She even feigned an attack on the phone to try and sell it to the police so they would assault him. Yeah, she totally was over the top. I agree. The Hazmat 221 says... It should have said racist white woman then. Yeah. Yeah. Or, like,
Starting point is 02:25:59 that's a tough one, man, because, like, everything is framing. Yeah. And they have to choose that. Mm-hmm. The Hazmat says, if anyone is framing. And they have to choose that. The Hazmat says, if anyone is looking for an amazing fantasy trilogy, give The Deed of Paxenarian a try. Truly amazing piece of work that captures the hero's journey. I'm writing it down.
Starting point is 02:26:15 John Doe says, confused redlining with blockbusting. Redlining. Banks would draw a line around black areas and deny loans for those houses to keep black buyers out. Also look up covenant communities. Yeah, it was really bad in St. Louis, man. They created towns and then passed laws saying no houses could be built specifically to keep out racial minorities.
Starting point is 02:26:35 It's messed up. Yep. Jake Daniels says, Aussie 4x4s spend days helping people get unbogged. Son Cormac says, America before. Graham Hancock talks about how the world was conquered by Africans in ancient times. A lot of people don't realize that there were big empires. There was Shaka Zulu. I don't know a lot about the history, but they were powerful people.
Starting point is 02:26:54 Zikshi says, ironically, I live closer to the South. And after this podcast, I think the South have more racially tolerated people than those in the North. But it's a different kind, right? The people in the North are like looking for white supremacists, but they are racists. Like, hardcore racists. Nick Adams says, calling everyone by their slur is a great equalizer. Take the power
Starting point is 02:27:14 out of those words. As I type this, I hear Tim say, lazy, there's an insult. There's something we need to promote as an insult. Socialism says, when you bash cops all the time in media, how many good God-loving people would say hey i want to get beaten down all day nobody so you get bad people looking for power and a gun we need to support and show the good cop it's tough though because it's a never-ending cycle
Starting point is 02:27:34 you know what i mean well and the the media just puts up all the bad stuff yeah we don't we don't hear story i mean i i have seen them in the past, but they're few and far between. It's always the bad stuff. That's all it is. It's glorified. Sam Beasley says, the GOP made a new attack ad. It is currently unlisted. Shadow banned. I have no ability to share it. You do. I can't click links, though, in the super chat
Starting point is 02:27:58 unfortunately. Let's see. Where are we at? Russellford says, bring your business to Chicagoland. Tim, no way. I'm not going back to Chicago. Chicago's so dirty. Yeah, I'm good. Katie says, Adam, please get a grip. You're running on emotion only. Hmm.
Starting point is 02:28:11 Okay. But I mean, we're having a discussion. Yeah. So, I mean, if anything, you guys with your super chats are providing Adam with new information. So, I think it's working out, right? Yeah, that's the whole point. It's like, sure. Yeah.
Starting point is 02:28:22 A few people have already said some things. It's like, I'm only as good as what I know and what my opinion is. And that's all I'm here giving. I'm not laying down some law or anything. It's just like, it's what my experiences are, the people I know. And I'm just giving it to you. Imagine if this is what political discourse was like. What, actually just talking?
Starting point is 02:28:41 It would be amazing. Someone's like, Adam, you're wrong. I think you need to look at this. And you're like, oh, I'll look into that. into that thank you yeah that's so emotional of me thank you thank you well you got you got heated for sure sure like the comments from a few minutes ago yeah but i think like in the end it's like people make their points and you're like right on yeah but it's like i don't i don't scream and hate these people it's like okay i i know i will do some more research i i fully admit that i don't know everything and need more research.
Starting point is 02:29:07 We always do. The left will be nothing but Karens. Yeah. The regular people who at once believed they were on that side are being attacked for it nonstop. I'll tell you what, man. If you said something that would like... The people being like, Adam adam you should consider this go to like uh a college campus and say
Starting point is 02:29:30 something and they'll start screaming probably shaming you and yelling and calling you a nazi and accusing you of things it's weird bro yeah all right where are we at b-town tom says bloody bleeder thank you racism is condemned but problems in all communities should be pointed out without the white guilt Adam seems to suffer from. Encourage fatherhood in minority communities. I don't know. I wouldn't go that far to say Adam's suffering from white guilt. Yeah, I don't brought up that small government people support police and big government people don't like police. I think it's because the police in small town government aren't, quote, the police. It's Al from down the street. Exactly.
Starting point is 02:30:13 That was the point I was highlighting earlier, referencing your super chat. That when you guys know who the sheriff is, when you know who the cops are, like, the cop's not going to come kick your door in and, like, ruffle through your stuff, kill you or whatever. It's going to be like, that's out from down the street. You know what I mean? Yep.
Starting point is 02:30:29 In big cities. Nope. They don't know you. And they purposely bring in cops from other cities into the city because that way they don't care. Joseph says people turning into Karen's over Adam's opinion, calm down. Hypocrisy is a slippery slope.
Starting point is 02:30:40 That's a good one. Yeah. Yeah. Caddick says, I love how Tim discusses things to do in his free time. i'm like what free time do you even have tim lol very little yeah very little absolutely zen cat says all these are wrong white supremacist laraza the race and black power and this is one of the things that needs to be brought up is that there are like they i can understand the argument about blackness this This was Zuby brought this up,
Starting point is 02:31:05 that when you have people who don't know their history and don't have a tie to their native country because of the horrors of slavery, then they unify around the idea of blackness. And I can understand that 100%. But still, it's like that I get. The social justice people, the white progressive Karen types
Starting point is 02:31:22 who are like screeching about white privilege all the time are making it impossible to actually have sane conversations. Ryan says, what are your thoughts on the Federal Reserve? What would it take to get it audited? Yes, seriously. That'll never happen. Come on. That's the power system, right?
Starting point is 02:31:37 Would you have an opinion on the Federal Reserve? No. I don't know enough about it. I'm tired. Yeah. Clint says, I don't hear you talk about disc golf much. Do y'all play? I'm liking the top 20,000 players. Oh,
Starting point is 02:31:47 haha. No, I don't, but I was joking. Like, maybe we'll throw Frisbees. Call Me says, I purposely drive my semi around 8 every day to catch the show. You guys do such a great job. Appreciate it. Oh, thanks. Bronco says, move to Oklahoma. We're friendly and welcoming. We'll consider it. But probably East Coast, man.
Starting point is 02:32:04 Michael says, were it possible, I would have McKennedy's babies. McKennedy has done an amazing job. I've been impressed. Robert says, epic sax guy. Track, Runaway Artist, Sunstroke Project. And Olya Tira album equals Runaway. Eric says, you have a similar 12-string to mine. And I already thought you were cool.
Starting point is 02:32:23 Rock on. Appreciate it. It's a pretty good time. Alright, let's see. We might have to speed up because I think the Super Chats are coming in faster. They're coming in faster. You are making good progress. So we're going to speed things up, so I'm not going to get to a lot of the later Super Chats
Starting point is 02:32:35 from the past few minutes, unfortunately. The Neighbor says, Williston, North Dakota here. Been listening to your podcast for over a week at work. For over a year at work. Sorry. Love the new shows. Soy. Been trying to cut dairy from my diet at home. Hard to get vegan food here. Been listening to your podcast for over a week at work. For over a year at work. Sorry. Love the new shows. Soy. Been trying to cut dairy from my diet at home. Hard to get vegan food here.
Starting point is 02:32:49 UPS strong. Just eat a lot more veggies. Veggies. Steven says, this Minneapolis issue ties right back into Duncan Lemp. The police brutality has to stop. Boogaloo. Dude, for real. I'm glad so many people are, like, pushing for the liberty issue on this one.
Starting point is 02:33:03 It's amazing. Mr. Cooper says, the fundamental problem with politics is every politician is a liar and power always makes people more dishonest and less accountable. Individuals changing their life and their community is the only way to actually make the world better. JM JH says, please watch Theo Vaughn white privilege video. I promise not. It's not bad.
Starting point is 02:33:22 And when you're talking about growing up, being poor reminded me of his story. Interesting. Michael McCord says, Reese, small small town cops small town cops can't disappear in the crowd if something happens their mom probably hears about it before the chief oh yeah definitely mr cooper says tim would you would you do uh would you do truth a favorite a favor when anarchy is used in news point out anarchy just means no rulers. Because I love and care for y'all and everybody else, I do not want anyone to rule over you. An means without. Arky means authority. So it can be left-wing anarchy,
Starting point is 02:33:53 right-wing anarchy. That means economic. Xavier, thanks for joining. Jesse says, Tim, I think cops' pensions should be the one to pay for settlements instead of our tax dollars. That way they think and or fellow officers are incentivized to hold each other accountable. That's one way to do it. Or they have insurance or something like that.
Starting point is 02:34:10 But definitely. Alternative JK90 says, I follow many cops on Instagram and I am thrilled to see them call out the MPD officer's actions on George Lloyd. In fact, one officer I followed, the real Jumpman Jay, shares a good insight on the case. Glad to hear it, man. Sun Cormac says, I value Adam's opinion, literally. And is that a rocker hand sign? Like, rock on.
